Gog is the leader of Magog, he is the "Prince of Rosh,
Meshech and Tubal." So Gog will be the leader of this
Russian led military horde.
14
“Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord
GOD: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not
know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you
and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great
company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people
Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will
bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am
hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord GOD:
“Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the
prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would
bring you against them?
Ezekiel 38:14-17
18
“And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says
the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My
wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20
so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things
that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My
presence.
The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the
ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD.
“Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with
pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who
are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself
and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that
I am the LORD.”’
The Destruction of Gog
Ezekiel 38:18-23
Gog’s Armies Destroyed
1 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus
says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the
prince of Rosh,[a] Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you
around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north,
and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will
knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to
fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains
of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are
with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to
the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the
open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:1-5
6
“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the
coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I will make My
holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let
them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that
I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Surely it is coming, and it shall
be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day of which I have spoken.
9
“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire
and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and
arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for
seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any
from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and
they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who
pillaged them,” says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 39:6-10
The Anti-Christ
The Bible says that an unholy trinity will arise in
the latter days. This unholy trinity will be
Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
Satan is called the Dragon in Revelations. He
has always wanted to be like God, or to be
God, and this will be his one and only chance
to actually "play God" in the last 7 years on
earth. Satan will take the role of God the
Father, the Antichrist will take the role of
Jesus and the False Prophet will take the role
of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit's job is to lead people to Jesus. In
the same way, the False Prophet will be the
one to lead the world to serve the Antichrist.
He will be instrumental in arranging for
people to have the mark of the beast put on
either their right hands or their foreheads.
1THEN
I saw as the Lamb broke open one of the
seven seals, and as if in a voice of thunder I
heard one of the four living creatures call out,
Come! 2And I looked, and saw there a white
horse whose rider carried a bow. And a crown
was given him, and he rode forth conquering and
to conquer. Revelation 6:1-2
Christ does not appear as a White Horse Rider
until Revelation 19:11-16, when He comes
with the armies of Heaven to engage in the
Battle of Armageddon. Then He is called
"Faithful and True," and on His head there is
a many "Diademed Crown," and He is clothed
in a vesture dipped in blood, and His name is
called the "WORD OF GOD," and there is no
weapon of warfare in His hand, but a sharp
sword comes out of His mouth, and the
effect upon His enemies will he swift and
This is the Anti-Christ who
terrible.
impersonates Christ by riding a
white horse as Jesus does at the
second coming.
The Anti-christ
"And in the latter time of this kingdom,
when the transgressors have revealed
their fullness, a king shall arise, having
fierce features, who understands sinister
schemes. His power shall be mighty, but
not by his own power; He shall destroy
fearfully and shall prosper and thrive; He
shall destroy the mighty, also the holy
people. Through his cunning he shall
cause deceit to prosper under his hand;
and he shall magnify himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
He shall even rise against the Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without
human hand." Daniel 8:23-26
"Then the king shall do according to his own
will; he shall exalt and magnify himself above
every god, shall speak blasphemies against the
God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath
has been accomplished; for what has been
determined shall be done. He shall regard
neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god; for he shall
magnify himself above them all."
Daniel 11:36-37
The ultimate ego-maniac
of all time!
The verse in the Book of Daniel gives some
additional information on this man. He
may be gay as he has no desire for
women. He also may have some Jewish
descent in him as it states he has no
"regard" for the God of his fathers.
Leaders of the world will go down to make a deal with a coming
prince, a prince who is not the true Messiah but a false one.
He will probably say that this 7 year sovereignty sharing
treaty with the western nations is just an "emergency
measure" to be taken just temporarily until the Utopian vision
of a New World Order can be firmly established. This future
great world leader will assume power by means of a
sovereignty sharing treaty with Israel and the nations. This
prince who is to come may even promise to hand back the
political power to the rulers of the nations at the end of the 7
years. But during that time he will reveal himself to be a false
messiah. He will be the coming prince of darkness prophesied
to come in the passages of the Holy Scriptures.
The False Prophet
In the book of the Revelation we read about an
end-time 'False Prophet' who is in a class of his
own. This False Prophet will arise in the last days
when the Beast comes on the stage of time. He will
do amazing miracles in the presence of the Beast
and, like Elijah of old, will even bring fire down from
heaven in the sight of men. He will deceive virtually
the whole human race into receiving the Mark of
the Beast . All the world's scientists, who pride
themselves on not being taken-in by the
supernatural, will stand aghast at the miracles
performed by this demon wonder-worker. Only the
'very elect' will not be deceived by his breath-taking
powers. For they will know - from the Scriptures that the teachings of this Prophet are against the
commandments of God: and that he is no last-day
Elijah, but a person satanically influenced who uses
miracles to further his falsehood and cause
mankind to worship the Beast and receive his Mark
- the Mark of Disobedience!

The Anti-Christ
AT THIS MOMENT THE ANTI-CHRIST IS BEING RESTRAINED, AND UNTIL THE
ANTI-CHRIST IS NO LONGER RESTRAINED HE CANNOT BE REVEALED.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
"7For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of
rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in
the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is
taken out of the way.
8And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and
the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and
bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.”
The Anti-Christ
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CURRENTLY RESTRAINING THE ANTI-CHRIST
The word 'let' in the King James Version is old English and means
'restrain'. The Holy Spirit, who now restrains the Anti-christ, will
continue to restrain the Anti-christ, until He (the Holy Spirit) is taken
out of the way.
When He resurrects the 'dead in Christ', even as He raised Jesus from
the dead (Romans 8:11), we shall be 'taken up' and depart this earth
together with Him.
Also, the Church, which is the 'Body of Christ' is too powerful for
Satan or the Anti-Christ to defeat, because we are blood washed
and baptized in God's Almighty Holy Spirit and have been given
power over Satan.
THE ANTI-CHRIST WOULD NOT TAKE A CHANCE UNTIL THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS GONE
SATAN WOULD NOT CHANCE such a move, until the Holy Spirit is out of the
way! Once the Bride of Christ has been removed and door is opened for
Satan, the false prophet - who will miss the rapture - and the Anti-christ will
make their move.
Satan, who is the prince of the power of the air, will then come from his
sanctuary in the air - the atmosphere, stratosphere and space - to make his
temporary headquarters on the earth! He is now called the 'prince of the
power of the air.' (Ephesians 2: 2)
After the rapture, which is the catching away of God’s blood-washed, Spiritfilled Church, Satan will terrorize, brutalize, brainwash and deceive those who
remain on the earth for 7 years. Satan will permanently possess a political
ruler who is called the Anti-christ.

The Seven Year Covenant
The Final 7-Year Period of Daniel's "70 Weeks"
Daniel 9:20-23 (Amplified Bible)
20While
I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people
Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy hill of
my God–
21Yes,
while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the
former vision, being caused to fly swiftly, came near to me and touched me
about the time of the evening sacrifice.
22He
instructed me and made me understand; he talked with me and said, O
Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and wisdom and understanding.
23At
the beginning of your prayers, the word [giving an answer] went forth, and I
have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the
matter and understand the vision.
.
The Seven Year Covenant
The Final 7-Year Period of Daniel's "70 Weeks" (Con’t)
Daniel 9:24-27 (Amplified Bible)
24Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] are decreed upon your people and upon
your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish and put an end to transgression, to seal up
and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and make expiation and
reconciliation for sin, to bring in everlasting righteousness (permanent moral
and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy
and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies.
25Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment
to restore and to build Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Anointed One, a
Prince, shall be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be
built again with [city] square and moat, but in troublous times.
26And after the sixty-two weeks [of years] shall the Anointed One be cut off or
killed and shall have nothing [and no one] belonging to [and defending] Him.
And the people of the [other] prince who will come will destroy the city and the
sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood; and even to the end there shall be
war, and desolations are decreed.
27And he shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with the many for one week
[seven years]. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and
offering to cease [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and upon the
wing or pinnacle of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate, until
the full determined end is poured out on the desolator.
The Events of the 70 Weeks of Years
Daniel 25Know
therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore
and to build Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Anointed One, a Prince, shall be seven weeks
[of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be built again with [city] square and moat, but
in troublous times.
In 445 B.C., Artaxerxes, King of Persia, issued a decree to Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of
Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:1-8). This began the countdown to Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy.
(70weeks x 7weeks = 490)
Daniel's prophecy next states that the 490 years will be divided into three periods as follows:
– seven weeks (i.e. 7x7 = 49 years)
– plus sixty-two weeks (i.e. 62x7 = 434 years)
– plus one week (7 years of Tribulation)
Which Totals:
49 Years
434 Years
= 483 Years Anointed One be cut off
7 Years
490 Years
Daniel then states that at the end of the first two periods (69 weeks or 483 years), the Messiah will
be "cut off," a seemingly clear reference to the crucifixion. He then states that both Jerusalem
and the Temple would be destroyed.
The prophecy concludes by focusing on the last week of years (7 years). It says that following
the death of the Messiah and the destruction of Jerusalem, "the prince who is to come"
will make a covenant with the Jewish people that will enable them to reinstitute their
sacrificial system.
The Abomination of Desolation
Daniel 9:27 (Amplified Bible)
27And he shall enter into a strong and firm
covenant with the many for one week
[seven years]. And in the midst of the week
he shall cause the sacrifice and offering to
cease [for the remaining three and one-half
years]; and upon the wing or pinnacle of
abominations [shall come] one who makes
desolate, until the full determined end is
poured out on the desolator.
Daniel 12:11 (Amplified Bible)
11And from the time that the continual burnt
offering is taken away and the abomination
that makes desolate is set up, there shall be
1,290 days.
Daniel 11:31 (Amplified Bible)
31And armed forces of his shall appear [in
the holy land] and they shall pollute the
sanctuary, the [spiritual] stronghold, and
shall take away the continual [daily burnt
offering]; and they shall set up [in the
sanctuary] the abomination that astonishes
and makes desolate [probably an altar to a
pagan god].
Jesus Speaking of The Abomination of Desolation
Matthew 24:15-16
The Great Tribulation
15
“Therefore when you see the
‘abomination of desolation,’
spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, standing in the holy
place” (whoever reads, let him
understand), 16 “then let those
who are in Judea flee to the
mountains.
(also see Mark 13:14 and Luke 21.20-21)
Jordan and Syria call for Israeli withdrawal from all
Arab lands
Leaders of both states say that Israel
must return to pre-1967 borders in
order to end Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.

The Tribulation
Question: What is the Tribulation?
Recent world events, especially in the Middle East have many Christians studying the
Bible for an understanding of end times events. This look at "What is the
Tribulation?" is just the beginning of our study of the Bible and what it says about
the end of this age.
Answer: The Tribulation encompasses a future 7 year period when God will complete
his discipline of Israel and final judgment upon the unbelieving citizens of the world.
Those who accept a Pre-Tribulation Rapture theory believe that Christians who have
trusted Christ as Lord and Savior will escape the Tribulation.
The Seven Year Covenant

and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy
and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies.

Prince, shall be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be
built again with [city] square and moat, but in troublous times.
26And after the sixty-two weeks [of years] shall the Anointed One be cut off or

the full determined end is poured out on the desolator.

Jesus and the Jewish Feasts
The Book of Revelation
The book of Revelation is the final book of the Bible and covers events
in the end not covered elsewhere in scripture. John is on the
Island of Patmos as a prisoner, and sees Jesus who instructs him to
write a letter to seven churches.
This letter is addressed to seven
specific churches in the province of
Asia, in seven specific cities. These
churches are:
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum,
Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and
Laodicea.
The Book of Revelation
Of the Churches, only Philadelphia is promised rescue
from the coming tribulation.
To the Church in Philadelphia
7"To
the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the
key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no
one can open. 8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an
open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little
strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my
name. 9I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who
claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make
them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have
loved you. 10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I
will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon
the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11I am coming
soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your
crown. 12Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of
my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of
my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,
which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also
write on him my new name. 13He who has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the churches.
Revelation 3:7-13 (NIV)
To the Church in Laodicea
14"To
the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold
nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are
lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my
mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a
thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind
and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so
you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your
shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
21To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my
throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Revelation 3:7-13 (NIV)
In Revelation chapter 6, John now sees the scroll in the hand of the Lamb,
who now begins to open the seals. With each seal opening in Heaven,
corresponding events take place on earth.
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
First Seal: The Conqueror
1
Now I saw when the Lamb
opened one of the seals;
and I heard one of the four
living creatures saying with
a voice like thunder, “Come
and see.” 2 And I looked,
and behold, a white horse.
He who sat on it had a
bow; and a crown was
given to him, and he went
out conquering and to
conquer.
The white horse symbolizes the false peace this false
messiah will bring to the world. His peace is
temporary through the use of military threat and
power. The white horse symbolizes Daniel 9:27, the
covenant made with the world. The Antichrist is
going to use military power in the guise of peace. He
will subdue the nations of the world with his military
might and the threat of force.
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
Second Seal: Conflict on
Earth
3
When He opened the
second seal, I heard the
second living creature
saying, “Come and see.”[b] 4
Another horse, fiery red,
went out. And it was
granted to the one who sat
on it to take peace from
the earth, and that people
should kill one another;
and there was given to him
a great sword.
War will follow; very likely, a nuclear exchange could
take place that will affect a large percentage of the
Earth population. In the year, 2002 India and
Pakistan have already been close to nuclear war.
Technology in the future is only going to make it
worse as smaller nations begin to develop these
technologies. The ability to control events is slipping
out of the hands of larger nations.
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
Third Seal: Scarcity on
Earth
5
When He opened the
third seal, I heard the third
living creature say, “Come
and see.” So I looked, and
behold, a black horse, and
he who sat on it had a pair
of scales in his hand. 6 And I
heard a voice in the midst
of the four living creatures
saying, “A quart[c] of wheat
for a denarius,[d] and three
quarts of barley for a
denarius; and do not harm
the oil and the wine.
Following a nuclear exchange or some other type of
world war would be an immediate inflationary
impact as crops and foods become limited or
contaminated with nuclear fallout. Uncontaminated
food is scarcer and more valuable because of the
vast amounts of food now unusable.
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
Fourth Seal: Widespread
Death on Earth
7
When He opened the
fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth living
creature saying, “Come and
see.” 8 So I looked, and
behold, a pale horse. And
the name of him who sat
on it was Death, and Hades
followed with him. And
power was given to them
over a fourth of the earth,
to kill with sword, with
hunger, with death, and by
the beasts of the earth.
The results of nuclear war are 1/4 of the Earth
population dies, including the effects, which follow,
lack of food, disease, and animals without control.
Fifth Seal: The Cry of the
Martyrs
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
9
When He opened the fifth
seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of those who had been
slain for the word of God and
for the testimony which they
held. 10 And they cried with a
loud voice, saying, “How long,
O Lord, holy and true, until
You judge and avenge our
blood on those who dwell on
the earth?” 11 Then a white
robe was given to each of
them; and it was said to them
that they should rest a little
while longer, until both the
number of their fellow
servants and their brethren,
who would be killed as they
were, was completed.
The souls of persecuted believers wait for their
fellow believers to arrive. The goal on earth will be
to create a unified religion in the first half of the 70th
week. Christians who refuse to submit will be killed,
they will be forced to submit to the will of the
Antichrist.
Sixth Seal: Cosmic
Disturbances
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
12
I looked when He opened the
sixth seal, and behold, there was a
great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became like blood. 13
And the stars of heaven fell to the
earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs
when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
14 Then the sky receded as a scroll
when it is rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved
out of its place. 15 And the kings of
the earth, the great men, the rich
men, the commanders, the mighty
men, every slave and every free
man, hid themselves in the caves
and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 and said to the mountains and
rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from
the face of Him who sits on the
throne and from the wrath of the
Lamb! 17 For the great day of His
wrath has come, and who is able to
stand?”
The earthquake allows man to see his own
mortality. Through this period of testing (Revelation
3:9), many who hold an exalted view of man,
humanism, will be humbled.
(The Seal Judgments (Revelation 6:1-17, 8:1-5))
Seventh Seal: Silence in Heaven!
And when he had opened the
seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an
hour.
Revelation 8:1
More likely, this quiet demonstrates a sober,
awestruck silence at the judgments to come,
now that the seals are off and the scroll can
be opened.
1
After these things I saw four
angels standing at the four
corners of the earth, holding
the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow
on the earth, on the sea, or on
any tree. 2 Then I saw another
angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living
God. And he cried with a loud
voice to the four angels to
whom it was granted to harm
the earth and the sea, 3
saying, “Do not harm the
earth, the sea, or the trees till
we have sealed the servants of
our God on their foreheads.” 4
And I heard the number of
those who were sealed. One
hundred and forty-four
thousand of all the tribes of
the children of Israel were
sealed…
Revelation 7:1-4
The Sealed of Israel
The Jewish nation begins to recognize Yeshua
(Jesus), the Messiah rejected by Israel two thousand
years ago. The ministry of the 144,000 Jews will
bring many people to a saving knowledge of Jesus as
Messiah. Israel will be fulfilling the role she was
meant to fulfill from the start - bringing the
knowledge of God to the nations.
Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
Revelation 8:1-13
2
And I saw the seven angels
who stand before God, and to
them were given seven
trumpets. 3 Then another angel,
having a golden censer, came
and stood at the altar. He was
given much incense, that he
should offer it with the prayers
of all the saints upon the golden
altar which was before the
throne. 4 And the smoke of the
incense, with the prayers of the
saints, ascended before God
from the angel’s hand. 5 Then
the angel took the censer, filled
it with fire from the altar, and
threw it to the earth. And there
were noises, thunderings,
lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 So the seven angels who had
the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
The Seventh seal, brings the seven angels who have
the trumpets judgments forward.
The First Trumpet
Revelation 8:7-13
7The
first angel sounded his
trumpet, and there came
hail and fire mixed with
blood, and it was hurled
down upon the earth. A
third of the earth was
burned up, a third of the
trees were burned up, and
all the green grass was
burned up.
This could possibly be the case of nuclear war, fallout, pollution, meteors, and so
forth. Mingled with blood may indicate the color or the result of the phenomenon
described here. God is bringing judgment; He isn't a passive bystander. This is not
"nature" taking its course.
The Second Trumpet
Revelation 8:7-13
8The
second angel sounded
his trumpet, and
something like a huge
mountain, all ablaze, was
thrown into the sea. A third
of the sea turned into
blood, 9a third of the living
creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships
were destroyed.
Here we see a comet or asteroid strike the earth, destroying 1/3 of the sea, ships
and life. One third is only destroyed because God is forcing the earth to decide, and
at the same time judging them for the persecution of his people.
The Third Trumpet
Revelation 8:7-13
10The
third angel sounded
his trumpet, and a great
star, blazing like a torch, fell
from the sky on a third of
the rivers and on the
springs of water— 11the
name of the star is
Wormwood (meaning
Bitterness). A third of the
waters turned bitter, and
many people died from the
waters that had become
bitter.
Here a second asteroid or comet strikes the earth, this time 1/3 of fresh water
becomes poisoned, resulting in the death of many.
The Fourth Trumpet
Revelation 8:7-13
12The
fourth angel sounded
his trumpet, and a third of the
sun was struck, a third of the
moon, and a third of the stars,
so that a third of them turned
dark. A third of the day was
without light, and also a third
of the night. 13As I watched, I
heard an eagle that was flying
in midair call out in a loud
voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the
inhabitants of the earth,
because of the trumpet blasts
about to be sounded by the
other three angels!"
The fourth trumpet is a plague on the heavens, bringing
darkness on the earth. This does not describe a one-third
lessening of light, but one-third of the day and night are
plunged into absolute darkness; as Jesus said: the sun will
be darkened, and the moon will not give its light (Matthew
24:29). The angel's (some versions have "eagle") woes are
Note: The 1st four trumpets well founded; one-third of the earth's population will die in
are "natural"; the next two are the next three trumpets.
"demonic"...)
The Fifth Trumpet
Revelation 9:1-20
1The
fifth angel sounded his
trumpet, and I saw a star that had
fallen from the sky to the earth. The
star was given the key to the shaft of
the Abyss. 2When he opened the
Abyss, smoke rose from it like the
smoke from a gigantic furnace. The
sun and sky were darkened by the
smoke from the Abyss. 3And out of
the smoke locusts came down upon
the earth and were given power like
that of scorpions of the earth. 4They
were told not to harm the grass of
the earth or any plant or tree, but
only those people who did not have
the seal of God on their foreheads.
5They were not given power to kill
them, but only to torture them for
five months. And the agony they
suffered was like that of the sting of
a scorpion when it strikes a man.
6During those days men will seek
death, but will not find it; they will
long to die, but death will elude
them.
John, sees demonic forces unleashed on humanity, people
are stung but cannot die. Here we can see a
demonstration of God’s mercy as people are once again
made to realize their own humanity and must decide who
is God.
7The
locusts looked like horses
prepared for battle. On their heads
they wore something like crowns
of gold, and their faces resembled
human faces. 8Their hair was like
women's hair, and their teeth were
like lions' teeth. 9They had
breastplates like breastplates of
iron, and the sound of their wings
was like the thundering of many
horses and chariots rushing into
battle. 10They had tails and stings
like scorpions, and in their tails
they had power to torment people
for five months. 11They had as king
over them the angel of the Abyss,
whose name in Hebrew is
Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon
(meaning Destroyer).
Revelation 9:1-20
The Sixth Trumpet
Revelation 9:1-20
13The
sixth angel sounded his
trumpet, and I heard a voice
coming from the horns of the
golden altar that is before
God. 14It said to the sixth angel
who had the trumpet,
"Release the four angels who
are bound at the great river
Euphrates." 15And the four
angels who had been kept
ready for this very hour and
day and month and year were
released to kill a third of
mankind. 16The number of the
mounted troops was two
hundred million. I heard their
number.
17The
horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this:
Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as
sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of
lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.
18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire,
smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19The
power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails;
for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which
they inflict injury.
20The
rest of mankind that
were not killed by these
plagues still did not repent
of the work of their hands;
they did not stop
worshiping demons, and
idols of gold, silver, bronze,
stone and wood—idols that
cannot see or hear or walk.
21Nor did they repent of
their murders, their magic
arts, their sexual
immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 9:1-20
War is unleashed again, this time 1/3 of humanity
dies. Not counting the other disasters, 47% of the earth
population dies in the first half of the tribulation period.
The Two Witnesses
Revelation 11:3-14
3And
I will give power to my
two witnesses, and they will
prophesy for 1,260 days,
clothed in sackcloth." 4These
are the two olive trees and the
two lampstands that stand
before the Lord of the earth.
5If anyone tries to harm them,
fire comes from their mouths
and devours their enemies.
This is how anyone who wants
to harm them must die.
6These men have power to
shut up the sky so that it will
not rain during the time they
are prophesying; and they
have power to turn the waters
into blood and to strike the
earth with every kind of
plague as often as they want.
The two witnesses engage the Antichrist, the earth’s false
Messiah. The identity of these two individuals has always
been a source of discussion. From the book of Malachi the
identity of one of two is Elijah. Other then Elijah, Enoch is
the only person according to scripture who never died. For
this reason, many speculate the second witness is Enoch.
7Now
when they have finished
their testimony, the beast that
comes up from the Abyss will
attack them, and overpower
and kill them. 8Their bodies
will lie in the street of the
great city, which is figuratively
called Sodom and Egypt,
where also their Lord was
crucified. 9For three and a half
days men from every people,
tribe, language and nation will
gaze on their bodies and
refuse them burial. 10The
inhabitants of the earth will
gloat over them and will
celebrate by sending each
other gifts, because these two
prophets had tormented those
who live on the earth.
11But
after the three and a half days a breath of life from
God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror
struck those who saw them. 12Then they heard a loud voice
from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they
went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked
on. 13At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and
a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were
killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified
and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14The second woe
has passed; the third woe is coming soon. Revelation 11:3-14
The Seventh Trumpet
Revelation 11:15-18
15The
seventh angel sounded his
trumpet, and there were loud
voices in heaven, which said: "The
kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his
Christ, and he will reign for ever
and ever." 16And the twenty-four
elders, who were seated on their
thrones before God, fell on their
faces and worshiped God, 7saying:
"We give thanks to you, Lord God
Almighty, the One who is and who
was, because you have taken your
great power and have begun to
reign. 18The nations were angry;
and your wrath has come. The
time has come for judging the
dead, and for rewarding your
servants the prophets and your
saints and those who reverence
your name, both small and great
— and for destroying those who
destroy the earth."
The worship of the twenty-four elders for what God has
done, and for what He is about to do. The nations are
angry with God and He responds with wrath; those that
destroy the earth are themselves destroyed.
The Ant-ichrist
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and he was given
authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blaspheming
against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
"And the ten horns which you saw are

Revelations 17:12-14
This verse tells you that the 10 horns
mentioned above are 10 kings, or 10
nations, that will give their allegiance to
the Antichrist.
The Antichrist is called the Beast, the Lawless One, the Man of Sin
and the Son of Perdition in the following verses. The first verse is
right out of the Book of Revelations.
"Then I stood on the sand of the sea.
And I saw a beast rising up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and on his horns ten crowns,
and on his heads a blasphemous name
... and the
dragon (Satan) gave him his power, his
throne and great authority. I saw one
of his heads as if it had been mortally
wounded and his deadly wound was
healed. And all the world marveled and
followed the beast. So they worshiped
the dragon who gave authority to the
beast, and worshiped the beast, saying,
"Who is like the beast? Who is able to
make war with him?"
The False Prophet
11Then
I saw another beast, coming out of the
earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he
spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the
authority of the first beast on his behalf,
and made the earth and its inhabitants
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound
had been healed.
Revelation 13:11-12
At some point the Anti-Christ receives a fatal wound, possible when
combating the two witnesses. Satan then resurrects the
Beast/Antichrist. This causes the world to wonder and marvel after this
person.
Mark of the Beast
13: And he (the False Prophet) doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of
men,
14: And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should
make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword,
and did live.
15: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as
many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18This
calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate
the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is
666.
Revelation 13:13-17
Mark of the Beast
"A third angel followed them and said in a loud
voice: 'If ANYONE worships the beast and his
image and receives his mark on the forehead
or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine
of God's fury, which has been poured full
strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be
tormented with burning sulfur in the presence
of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the
smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever.
There is no rest day or night for those who
worship the beast and his image, or for
anyone who receives the mark of his name.
This calls for patient endurance on the part of
THE SAINTS who obey God's commandments
and remain faithful to Jesus' ".
Revelation 14:9-12
RFID Chip
The Next Generation May Embrace (the
Mark of the Beast) Being 'Chipped
PCWorld reported on June 12, 2010
You may reject the idea of a microchip implant, but your
grandchildren could embrace them, according to an
Australian professor. At present the professor regards the
device as a threat to life and liberty because technologists
and politicians largely do not know if silicon chips could
harm the human body and have not determined the
terms in which the devices can be used. The chip
implants presently cause damage to the human body
because they fuse with tissue and cause damage when
removed.
A Florida couple and their teenage son had
Applied Digital Solutions chips implanted in
their arms.
RFID Scientist have already determined that
the proper areas for the RFID chip to be
distributed is in the right hand or forehead.
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go,
pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth.”
Revelation 16:1-2
2The
first angel went and poured out
his bowl on the land, and ugly and
painful sores broke out on the people
who had the mark of the beast and
worshiped his image.
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
3The
second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that
of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.
Revelation 16:3-6
4The
third angel poured out his bowl on the
rivers and springs of water, and they
became blood. 5Then I heard the angel in
charge of the waters say: "You are just in
these judgments, you who are and who
were, the Holy One, because you have so
judged; 6for they have shed the blood of
your saints and prophets, and you have
given them blood to drink as they deserve."
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to
scorch people with fire. 9They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the
name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and
glorify him.
Revelation 16:8-11
10The
fifth angel poured out his bowl on the
throne of the beast, and his kingdom was
plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their
tongues in agony 11and cursed the God of
heaven because of their pains and their
sores, but they refused to repent of what
they had done.
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
12The
sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and
its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
Revelation 16:12
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
17Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out
of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18And there were
noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a
mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
19Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of His wrath.
Revelation 16:17-19
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail
from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent (100
pounds or about 6.5 stones in weight). Men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
Revelation 16:20-21
Revelation 19:6-9
6Then
I heard what sounded like a
great multitude, like the roar of
rushing waters and like loud
peals of thunder, shouting:
"Hallelujah! For our Lord God
Almighty reigns. 7Let us rejoice
and be glad and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb
has come, and his bride has
made herself ready. 8Fine linen,
bright and clean, was given her
to wear." (Fine linen stands for
the righteous acts of the saints.)
9Then the angel said to me, "Write:
'Blessed are those who are
invited to the wedding supper
of the Lamb!' " And he added,
"These are the true words of
God."
The Rider on the White Horse
11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is
called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like
blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that
no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his
name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on
white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes
a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an
iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:11-16
19Then
I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies
gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and
his army.
Revelation 19:19
Revelation 19:11-16
20But
the beast was captured, and
with him the false prophet who had
performed the miraculous signs on
his behalf. With these signs he had
deluded those who had received
the mark of the beast and
worshiped his image. The two of
them were thrown alive into the
fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21The
rest of them were killed with the
sword that came out of the mouth
of the rider on the horse, and all
the birds gorged themselves on
their flesh.
Revelation 19:20-21
1And
I saw an angel coming down
out of heaven, having the key to the
Abyss and holding in his hand a
great chain. 2He seized the dragon,
that ancient serpent, who is the
devil, or Satan, and bound him for a
thousand years. 3He threw him into
the Abyss, and locked and sealed it
over him, to keep him from
deceiving the nations anymore until
the thousand years were ended.
After that, he must be set free for a
short time.
Revelation 20:1-3
4I
saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their
testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped
the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their
hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of
the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the
first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first
resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests
of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4-6
Satan's Doom
7When the thousand years are over,
Satan will be released from his prison
8and will go out to deceive the nations
in the four corners of the earth—Gog
and Magog—to gather them for battle.
In number they are like the sand on
the seashore. 9They marched across
the breadth of the earth and
surrounded the camp of God's people,
the city he loves. But fire came down
from heaven and devoured them.
10And the devil, who deceived them,
was thrown into the lake of burning
sulfur, where the beast and the false
prophet had been thrown. They will be
tormented day and night for ever and
ever.
Revelation 20:7-10
The Dead Are Judged
11Then I saw a great white throne and
him who was seated on it. Earth and
sky fled from his presence, and there
was no place for them. 12And I saw the
dead, great and small, standing before
the throne, and books were opened.
Another book was opened, which is
the book of life. The dead were judged
according to what they had done as
recorded in the books. 13The sea gave
up the dead that were in it, and death
and Hades gave up the dead that were
in them, and each person was judged
according to what he had done. 14Then
death and Hades were thrown into the
lake of fire. The lake of fire is the
second death. 15If anyone's name was
not found written in the book of life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15
The New Jerusalem
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new
earth, for the first heaven and the first
earth had passed away, and there was
no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City,
the new Jerusalem, coming down out
of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride beautifully dressed for her
husband. 3And I heard a loud voice
from the throne saying, "Now the
dwelling of God is with men, and he
will live with them. They will be his
people, and God himself will be with
them and be their God. 4He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will
be no more death or mourning or
crying or pain, for the old order of
things has passed away." 5He who was
seated on the throne said, "I am
making everything new!" Then he said,
"Write this down, for these words are
trustworthy and true."
Revelation 20:11-15
Jesus Is Coming
7"Behold,
I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." 8I,
John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down
to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to me, "Do not do
it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words
of this book. Worship God!" 10Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this
book, because the time is near. 11Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile
continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be
holy." 12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to
what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14"Blessed
are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the
tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs,
those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the
idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16"I, Jesus, have
sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and
the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." 17The Spirit and the bride
say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him
come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. 18I
warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone
adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take
away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are
described in this book. 20He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am
coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with
God's people. Amen.
