THE ANTICHRIST MUST COME AND MANIFEST FIRST in the power of satan, with signs and lying wonders in all forms of deceivableness and strong delusion in those that received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. Paul declares that the Anti-Christ must manifest before the Day of the Lord Jesus comes and gathers unto Him in the ‘air’ both the then worthy living and those judged worthy out from among the dead in Hades in the First Resurrection. (2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12… “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”) And before Israel will recognize Jesus as their Messiah, the Anti-Christ will come in the prophesied End-Times when political and ‘natural’ disasters and turmoil are strongly in the Earth that have the now imminent fulfillment of Last Days’ prophecy in view. He will rise to power in the Middle East by treachery and supernatural direction from satan. (Daniel 8:23-25… “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences (having hidden insight), shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (as he comes in satan’s power and authority - see Revelation 13:4 which says the dragon gives power unto the beast): and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people (Israel). And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace (a false pretense of peace) shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Jesus, at His Coming to the Earth as seen in Revelation 19); but he shall be broken without hand.” (Jesus being the stone that breaks in pieces the statue representing the successive kingdoms of man of which the Anti-Christ rules the last, establishing God’s eternal kingdom that replaces all earthly empires. - Daniel 2:37-45) See also Daniel 11:38-39… “But in his estate shall he (the Anti-Christ) honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” And also see Revelation 13:4a… “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (He being a leader that prioritizes military strength/force.) He will have a part in reestablishing the ancient City of Babylon, the first City of the first despot tyrant (Nimrod) and now of the last (the Anti-Christ). That City wherein the satanic world’s system of self-centered depravity was implemented (which had/has and will have corrupted the whole Earth) will be the Anti-Christ’s capitol and headquarters in the Last Days and which will be suddenly destroyed. (Isaiah 14:3-25… “And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon (here, the Bible uses ‘double-speak’ where God is addressing both a human king and satan/Lucifer), and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. Hell from beneath is moved for thee (for satan when he is cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 years) to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? (as men) Thy pomp is brought down to the grave (Sheol - the Intermediate Place of the Dead), and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (the bottomless pit/the Abyss). They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? (All in Hades see the chaining of the devil.) All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord. I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts. The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: That I will break the Assyrian (a reference to the Anti-Christ) in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.” Jeremiah 50:5-8… “They (the Jews) shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers. Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.” And see Revelation 16:19b with Chapter 18, which also speaks of the City of Babylon’s destruction, in that “…in her (‘her’ is a reference to Babel/Babylon where the ancient satanically-designed system of military force and false religion has come that has prevailed in the Earth for over 4000 years, so as to keep man from seeing ‘by faith’ truly who God created him to be) was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the Earth.”)

Anti-Christ will make a league or covenant with Israel for 7 years. (Daniel 9:27… “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (a period of 7 years): and in the midst of the week (the 3 ½ year point of the Tribulation period) he shall cause the (reinstituted) sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Isaiah 28:14,18… “Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” … “And your covenant with death (that Israel had made with the Anti-Christ) shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.”) That treaty/pact with the powerful Ruler and his 10-nation confederation being a seemingly strategic move by Israel to protect its sovereignty and a signal of peace in the Middle East. But 1st Thessalonians 5:3 warns… “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” See 1st Samuel 8:10-19 where Israel chose to have a king over them, like the other nations, instead of being the Theocratic government in the Earth (a kingdom of priests) as God had called them to be… “And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day. (This prophecy finds its complete fullness when Israel chooses the Anti-Christ as a king over them.) Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us…” This is also reminiscent of how, in Matthew 19:15, the leaders of Israel said, “We have no king but Caesar.” John 5:43 speaks to how Jesus predicted that the Jews would reject Him, but would accept another (the Anti-Christ)… “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”)

What will precede him (the manifestation of the Anti-Christ) is a great falling away; a general worldwide apostasy from God. (Isaiah 28:15… “Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves…” See also Daniel 9:27’s covenant of false peace with Israel). This worldwide apostasy includes within it ‘Christendom.’ (2nd Thessalonians 2:3… “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…” 1st Timothy 4:1-3… “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 2nd Timothy 3:1-5; 4:3-4… “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”… “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”)

DURING THAT SEVEN YEAR COVENANT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE BEAST…
War breaks out in the heaven of this Earth wherein satan and his angels are cast down to the Earth. (Revelation 12:7-9… “And there was war (that ‘broke out’) in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven (the first heaven from wherein satan and his angels currently rule). And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”) The days of Noah and Lot will have arrived again. (Luke 17:26-27… “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” Matthew 24:36-42… “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken (only the then living caught up/raptured into the first heaven as one of the worthies for the “First-fruits” of the future Harvest… that one ‘taken’ is also referred to as the ‘Manchild’ in Revelation 12), and the other (born again’ Christian, but not awake and watching - see Luke 21:36) left (remaining on the Earth, who must now faithfully endure the worst of the Great Tribulation in order to be a part of the Harvest ‘catching up’ towards the end of the 7 years - see 1st Thessalonians 4:13-17 and Revelation 14:14-16). Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”)

It is at this time (when satan and his angels are cast down to the Earth) that the 'son of satan' (the Beast/the Anti-Christ) will arise from the center of the Earth from Hades. Know that satan counterfeits the things of God (which is seen in Babel’s counterfeit theocratic government) in order to dilute and distract man from realizing God’s purposes.) God has a Son Whom He then resurrected from the grave/center of the Earth. Likewise, satan will have a ‘son’ who will die and be resurrected as well. (See Revelation 9 where satan, after being cast down from the first heaven, is granted the key to the pit/Abyss of Hades, whereupon he releases the Anti-Christ.) He will be a seed of the serpent that experienced death in the past… ‘that many might come forth’ (this sign and wonder that he comes from among the dead gains him many followers… copying the precedent of Jesus… ’if he be lifted up he will draw all men unto himself.’ This being based on the principle in John 12:24… “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”). Having been further hardened in the place of perdition in the center of the earth for near two-thousand years, he then shows his resurrection by many infallible proofs, astounding the world. (Copying/counterfeiting Acts 1:3… “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God…”)

The same World's authority and power that satan offered Christ will be then given to the Anti-Christ. (Revelation 13:1-10… “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea (‘sea’ being both the Nations and the Abyss), having seven heads (indicating the beast was one of 7 previous Gentile Rulers) and ten horns (10 subservient kings), and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy (that which all these Rulers have in common; blasphemy). And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon (satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads (note that it is not said it was this ‘beast,’ but one of the 7) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (the Anti-Christ… the individual who is personified in the attributes of the 4th beast empire in Daniel’s vision spoken of in Daniel 7:1-8). And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (3 ½ years). And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven (those of the Firstfruits/‘Manchild’ that had been taken up to the first heaven in the Firstfruits Rapture/catching up). And it was given unto him to make war with the saints (those two peoples of God; unyielded and un-transformed Christians who remained on the Earth, and Jews), and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”) For 3 ½ years (this being Christ’s same length of time in authority in the Earth), all the world wonders after him. (John 5:43… “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”) The ‘Spirit’ of Anti-Christ in the ‘many anti-Christs’ are ‘corporately and unwittingly, for the vast part,’ (being used as puppets) preparing the way today in the World. (2nd John 1:7-8… “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.”) A clear warning of the consequences of not denying ourselves/self-centeredness, and not picking up our crosses and following Jesus unto transformation in walking as He did in this World.

As mentioned before, Christ shall come first to this Realm and claim His heavenly Kingdom in the first heaven (the unseen spiritual heaven, from where all angels; good and evil, administer the affairs associated with this Earth) and all in the heavens will rejoice and worship Him and the Father. In Revelation 12:7-9, we read that war in the first heaven broke out, and satan and his angels were cast down to the Earth. Revelation 12:10-12 goes on to say… “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” And ‘all’ those upon the Earth (unknowingly under woe) will greatly wonder (be in awe of), and follow after and worship the ‘resurrected son.’ (2nd Thessalonians 2:11… “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (what could be a stronger delusion than this powerful Gentile leader being slain, yet rising from the dead), that they should believe a lie…” - more on this in a moment.)

The Anti-Christ will follow close in the steps of Jesus Christ, and so it is that he is to be a person who has been dead, and then comes again to live, that “…he might be lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:9) As the resurrected Jesus showed his followers his scars… so it is that the dwellers of the earth shall see the False Christ’s ‘scar’ from certain death and proclaim him “my Lord and my God.” (Revelation 13:12… “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” John 20:25,28… “The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.”… “And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”)

The Anti-Christ will be one who has already once ruled on the Earth. (Revelation 13:1-3… “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads (the head of the Ruler of the final 4th beast empire - the Book of Daniel Chapters 7-11) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Speaking of the Beast/the Anti-Christ, Revelation 17:8-11 says… “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not (he once lived but was dead when John wrote the Book of Revelation); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (Abyss… having been assigned there upon his death), and go into perdition (the Lake of Fire upon Jesus’ Return to the Earth): and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder (be in awe), whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads (also) are (represent) seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth (the woman being the Mother of Harlots/the Babylonian religious arm/Mystery Babylon who exercises her great influence over the 10-nation confederation {symbolized in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as the 10 toes of the statue} for a time, until she is of no more use to the Beast, who (along with the 10 kings) then devours her to promote himself. - Revelation 17:16). And there are seven kings: five (Roman Emperors were a part of the early development of the 4th beast empire) are fallen (this does not mean they were consecutive Rulers, but that what they had in common was two things; that they were ‘blasphemers’ and that they had ‘fallen’… possibly the meaning of ‘fallen’ having something to do with their all being ‘blasphemers’), and one is (Domitian being the 6th; the one who ruled when John wrote the Book of Revelation), and the other is not yet come (the fulfillment of the 7th head/king is suspended, much like Daniel’s 70th week); and when he cometh (he is like unto John the Baptist, in that he prepares the way for THE Anti-Christ… note that the person who is to be the 7th head/the 7th leader is the person whose body the Anti-Christ will rise up out of the Abyss to go into after the 7th is slain), he must continue a short space (the unsuspended timeframe that answers to Jesus’ Words of the “…beginning of sorrows” or “birth pangs” of the End-Times before the Last Days/ final 7 years, into which the 7th leader’s career will extend until he is slain). And the beast that was (was one of the 5 previous Emperors/leaders that had fallen), and is not (so it could not be Domitian who was the 6th head that was still alive and ruling when John wrote this), even he is the eighth (the one of the previous 5 who had fallen is the Anti-Christ - the 8th) who arises from the Abyss, not in his own long-since corrupted body, but into the body of the slain 7th leader/head), and is (therefore one) of the seven, and goeth into perdition” (his destiny being cast into the Lake of Fire at the King of King’s descent unto Israel).

He is the Lawless One of Daniel 11:36-38… “And the king (lower case king of kings) shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all (in the strong delusion of his own ‘resurrection’ {in that the 7th will have prepared the 8th for being perceived, deceivingly, as the resurrected ‘Messiah’ or mighty invincible ‘Savior of the World’}. Who now can deny him? In God’s wrath, ‘Ceasar’ now literally becomes King of Israel!… and the World! - 1st Samuel 8:18… “And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”). But in his (true) estate shall he honour the God of forces (satan his ‘father’ now cast down to the Earth out of the first heaven): and a god whom his fathers knew not (in this degree of intimacy; as Jesus did His Father; for if you see him, you see his father, satan) shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.” (Daniel 7:25… “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws (who will successfully establish a completely new governmental and religious order on the Earth): and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time” (3 ½ years; the short time of his enormous accomplishments in a short span of time is to be comprehended in the previous groundwork of the 7th Ruler over his lifespan).

MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT (Genesis 10:8-12… “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.” It all ends where it began… Babel/Babylon. See Revelation 17 for the destruction of Mystery (religious) Babylon and Chapter 18 for the Last Days’ literal destruction of the ancient City, which had been restored, and see also Romans 1:18-32 for Paul’s description of the heart of those of Babel, which translates to the End-times’ and Last Days’ faithless attitude of mankind, who prescribed to satan’s designed system… “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”)

The confounding of the language and dispersion at ancient Babel took the knowledge of the satanic system of rule by force, and idolatrous worship there expounded to all lands. She then is the MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. She has caused all men to drink of her cup… that of the World's religious and secular Godless systems that have appealed to and stumbled man from knowing who they really are (made in God’s image) for these 6 Millenniums. Though today ‘Babylon’ the City and State is relatively obscure, and the Middle-Eastern countries are, for the most part, far behind, while America, Russia, and China are big on today’s political and power scene… Yet it is not likely that these 3 will have any more to do directly with End-Times prophecy than they had historically (as we are but one world war, or a few natural {or unnatural} catastrophes, or pestilences, or a combination of them all, away from putting these Nations back into historical obscurity. Among the main players in the Last Days will be Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey… … Assyria and Babylon having once encompassed all of these.

(Matthew 24:6-8… “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” See also Luke 21:10… “Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom…”) That ancient Babylon (the City and State located today in Iraq) becomes a main character in the End-Times is unquestionable to those who do not over ‘spiritualize,’ but who take Scripture literally, whenever it is not absurd to do so.

Babylon’s Scriptural significance to God as the first historical governmental and religious Mother harlot (whose World influence continues down through Daniel and the Prophets, who prophesy about Her key part to be played down through the Last Days) is easily traceable. Among whom the ancient empire ‘Rome’ stands out historically and Scripturally as one of her harlots and purveyors of abominations in the Earth. Who officially took unto herself the office and title of the Babylonian priesthood in Julius Caesar being then proclaimed Pontifex Maximus/‘chief bridge builder’ between the ‘spiritual realm’ and man. Whose ruthless political Empire’s arm spanned the time of Jesus Christ’s first appearance. And under Constantine, the ancient religious system and apostate ‘Christianity’ were merged and Babylonian religious paganism became Christianized. And when Babylonian Rome (being not a pure dictatorship; but mixed with the clay of ‘democracy’) became militarily weak, her pagan religious arm continued its World-wide dominance by always controlling by their uniting with kings coming and going in power. And in those satanically-inspired alliances, she/the mysterious harlot ‘woman’ of Revelation 17 has remained strong throughout the Earth and morphed into other religious forms… in alliance with kings that presently cover and control the way of thinking of man (both politically/secularly in the Earth… Proverbs 23:7a… “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” and religiously… Proverbs 16:25… “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”) All is awaiting Babylon’s last perfected iteration… the World-wide rule of the Anti-Christ.

The murderous ways of the religious ‘woman’ are used by the one who prepares the way for the Anti-Christ (the 7th head/ruler whose body the Anti-Christ will take over) in the Last Days to bring about his purposes until he (the 8th head ruler/the Anti-Christ) and his confederate Middle Eastern Nations (who have willingly given unto him their power and authority) now destroys and puts to an end the religious Babylonian Christianized arm, the religious Babylonian Jewish arm, the religious Babylonian Islamic arm, and any other resisting religious arm… in order to enforce his own World-wide religion as he declares himself ‘God.’ (Revelation 17:12-18… “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten (subordinate) kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast (the resurrected 8th head/ruler). These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome (3 ½ yrs later): them for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”)

In that very hour, in the middle of the 7-year treaty with Israel, satan’s unholy trinity openly now begin to implement a new/old system in world-dominion. The now risen Anti-Christ makes war against the Two Witnesses of God in Jerusalem and kills them and ‘pillages’ the City. (Revelation 11:7) His direct orders for the destruction and death of any resisting Jews and resisting Christians is imminent, if not immediate. (Zechariah 14:1-2… “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.”)

Matthew 24:15… “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains…” Thus a Temple or place of Worship unto Yahweh must be established in Israel in the End-Times. (Revelation 11:1-2… “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” Realizations that will answer to those then “keeping the commandments of God”/Jews). At the middle of the 7-year covenant with 'death and sheol,’ the Anti-Christ (either the 7th or 8th) will openly violate the covenant. (Daniel 9:27) Soon, he and the false prophet, in the brilliant deceiving light of his ‘resurrection,’ will erect an image/statue to the beast/Anti-Christ that speaks. Revelation 13:11-15… “And I beheld another beast (the False Prophet) coming up out of the earth (similar to the Anti-Christ); and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 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. 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.” This image being satan’s Urim and Thummim (a supernatural means to communicate His will in certain matters…) - See Leviticus 8:8… “And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.”) He places this ‘image’ there in the holiest place, making the Last Days’ sanctuary abominable and desolate.

To resist him and his government going forth will be life-threatening. (Revelation 13:15… “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.”) It is now the prophesied time of Jacob’s seed’s ‘great trouble’ (Jeremiah 30:7), and it is also to those remaining Christians who are left on the Earth, the great ‘hour of temptation.’ (Revelation 13:7;12:17;14:9-13… “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” … “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” … “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice (preaching a ‘gospel of ‘fear’ to those who remain…), If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”)

The effect will advance consecration and 'transformation' in both godly Jews (Daniel 11:35… “And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”) and in Christian believers on the Earth. (Revelation 7:14… “And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”) These Last Days’ years (parts of the 4th through possibly the 6th year) are not yet the winepress wrath of God… (that soon coming wrath of God towards the end of the 7th year that will consume His fully ripened enemies). Those Last Days’ few years will then serve to ripen and transform His now patient and enduring two peoples: 1) those who have the faith of Jesus who are on the one hand resisting the image of satan and on the other now embracing transformation into the image of Christ …and 2) those Jews who then keep the commandments of God. (Revelation 14:12-13… “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”)

Then the fulness of the Wrath of God will be realized in the 'vials' (Revelation 16) during the closing part of the 3 ½ years determined for the reign of the Anti-Christ. Climaxed by Jesus the Christ descending and appearing in the air in descent to the Mount of Olives. (Acts 1:11… “Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”) He will then be accompanied by the Bride and Reaping Angels. (Joel 2:18… “Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.” Zechariah 14:3-4,12-15… “Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” … “And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.” 2nd Thessalonians 1:7-10… “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” Matthew 13:30… “Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers (the Angels), Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”) Thus, the Anti-Christ “shall come to his end, and none will help him." - Daniel 11:45 See also Revelation 19:20… “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”)

WHAT WILL HAVE HAPPENED before the manifesting of the 8th Ruler (the Anti-Christ who arises out of the pit) in the middle of the 70th week of 7 years prophesied by Daniel is that 'catching up' of the 'man-child'/First-fruits of the loving faithful in the middle of the 7 years. (This is set forth in Agricultural type as the “first-fruits” by the Holy Spirit through John.) This ‘catching up’ of the First-fruits is in answer to Christ's promise to ‘keep’ the watchful, faithful living of that day (Revelation 3:10) from the great temptation hour coming upon the whole Earth… that temptation of taking the Anti-Christ’s condemning mark in the last 3 ½ years of Israel’s league with the Anti-Christ and rule of terror. But as in the Mosaic Old Covenant agricultural type set forth in Israel of ‘first-fruits,' those that are ripe are then first harvested… and then a number of ‘weeks’ must go by while the rest of the field ripens unto the full harvest.

So it is, before the pouring out of certain vials specific to God's enemies… the “Harvest” of those living; now fully ripened in transformation into His image are then also 'caught up' along with the worthies among the dead in Hades up in the air of the first heaven. There, the worthies are to be wed to Christ and to rule with Him in different capacities from the first heaven of this Realm for a thousand years. (Revelation 14:14-16… “And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.” 1st Thessalonians 4:15-17… “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” And see 1st Corinthians 15:50-55… “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” With Revelation 19:7-8… “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 16:15… “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 20:4-6… “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead (those not worthy of the First Resurrection) lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”)

Now after the ‘Harvest’ is the time of the end; the 'Vintage' has come… the Wrath of God is to be poured out on His enemies and the eternal destruction of the literal City of Babylon… (Revelation 14:18-20… “And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.” (In the 3-part agricultural ‘type’ used by God, the ‘Vintage’ reaping is the third part… the ‘Firstfruits’ and the ‘Harvest’ having preceded it. Here, the Wrath of God is poured out on all His enemies and it can be taken literally that the blood runs as deep as the horses’ bridles.) Revelation 16:16-21… “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” Revelation 19:11-21… “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven (the Bride of Christ and certain ‘reaper’ Angels) followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, And Lord of Lords. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” Zechariah 14:1-14… “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one. All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.”)

The Lord has been absent from the Earth for over 2000 years. At the beginning of the 7-year covenant of the Jews which was made with the Anti-Christ (with the 7th head who later becomes embodied by the 8th head), the Judgement Throne of God will be then set up in the unseen heaven associated with this Realm. The Times of the Gentiles is swiftly closing. From there, in the first heaven, at the tribunal Throne of God, Jesus will receive His worthy investiture as King of Kings and will administrate the opening of the seals, trumpets, and vials… after which He reveals Himself in the destruction of Armageddon and in the coming unto the Mount of Olives when all eyes will see Him, especially those who pierced Him. (Revelation 1:7… “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Zechariah 12:10… “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”) Satan will be chained and confined to the Pit in Hades until the end of the Millennial Kingdom that culminates in God’s restored intent for His Theocratic Government with Man in this Realm; its heaven and Earth. (Isaiah 24:21-23… “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high (satan and the fallen angels), and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit (Abyss), and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Psalm 82:6-7… “I have said, Ye (fallen angels) are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”) It is then that He will judge the Nations (see the last of Matthew 25 wherein Jesus separates the sheep nations from the goat nations). He’ll restore Israel and pour out His Spirit upon them forevermore. (Romans 11:25… “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” See also Ezekiel 37:11-23… “Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.”) Jerusalem and the Temple will be built… and enlarged. Services will be reinstituted, and the Jews will then be a blessing to the Gentiles.

The Millennial Kingdom and restoration of the Earth has come… evil spirits will no longer be present… humans will live much longer… beasts shall lose their savage nature… Israel is preeminent on the Earth… and the Bride of Christ shall rule with Him from the first heaven over the Nations of the Earth with a rod of iron… as yet there will be sinners. (Isaiah 65:20… “There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.”), but the strong rule of the King and His consort shall ensure justice and righteousness.

(Psalm 72… “Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: an
