Seal Six and Seismos

blood, boiling sky, earth, moon, revelation, sackcloth, siesmos, sun

Rev 6:12  And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 

Rev 6:13  and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. 

Rev 6:14  And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 

Stop right here…. This is devastation on a massive scale.  What could be happening that such a massive series of events happen?
Everything in this verse has in the English like or as which makes it metaphor and or simile.  This is John in his day describing what he is seeing in comparison to known examples of his day.  A great earthquake; or a “mega seismos” in the Greek, takes place. These Greek words are just that, a great commotion or shaking or quaking or movement. Now the conjunctive kai or and the sun or helios (…the sun; by implication light) becomes black like sackcloth.  Now notice I included a partial definition (helios Strongs Greek #2246) of this word because of relevancy.  The writer may well not be talking about the orb itself but the light we see from the vantage point of the Earth! Now if we presume to think in this manner, as the word itself does lend to that thought, then it is the light of the sun that becomes like as if covered in sackcloth.  The word for black is the color black (melos) but it black as sackcloth.  I want to look at that word for sackcloth for a moment.  Strongs Greek #4526 sakkos Of Hebrew origin [Strongs Hebrew # 8242 śaq From (Strongs Hebrew #8264 shâqaq A primitive root; to course (like a beast of prey); by implication to seek greedily: – have appetite, justle one against another, long, range, run (to and fro).) ; properly a mesh (as allowing a liquid to run through), that is, coarse loose cloth or sacking (used in mourning and for bagging); hence a bag (for grain, etc.): – sack (-cloth, -clothes).]; “sack” cloth, that is, mohair (the material or garments made of it, worn as a sign of grief): – sackcloth.

Now all these images converge the images of coursing about or a mesh that liquid can run through which is made of mohair.  I went online and looked into mohair and found it to be of a goats hair, that is wiggly in strand (coursing)When made into clothing it has a complete cover in its weave, as it were, of the skin; thus very opaque.  So then something is obscuring opaquely the light of the sun, not the sun itself.
At the same time the moon becomes like or as blood. The moon (selene) … “brilliancy”  so then its not the orb itself again but the brilliancy or COLOR that changes to the color of human blood (aima) uncertain derivation literally blood figuratively grape juice. Either way it will be a dark crimson to purplish color at night.  As if this was not enough we have stars (aster) falling to earth in the same manner as a fig casts of unripe or hard figs when shaken in a (mega animos) mighty or great wind. I will have to ask a horticulturalist friend of mine about this but I could imagine the figs would pelt the ground in waves as they are ripped from the tree during a sirocco or high speed wind storm which one would have gotten in the Mediterranean of John’s day.  Now if this is so then we have “rocks” pelting the earth in the middle of all of this.  Good God what could do that?
To put the frosting and icing on this cake the whole thing does two more things.  First it causes EVERY, John is very specific here, mountain and island to be “moved out of place” and second it causes the sky to roll up like or as a scroll being rolled closed.

Now the first is nothing short of a tectonic plate shift on a global scale.

The second I have pondered for a long time until I considered a small scroll being rolled shut.  Large scrolls would have two staves at each end of the scroll and they would roll towards each other furling the paper scroll around them till they touched and then it would be bound shut.  But a smaller one might only have one.  It would be then rolled like a roll of paper towels or toilet paper.

Now if clouds are seen to be doing this the action would be that of roiling or boiling sky.  If there were two massive thunderhead type cloud formations rolling into each other making the sky “boil” what would be devastating enough to cause all this at one time.  The effects of the bombs over Nagasaki and Hiroshima approximate the boiling sky but not the rest.
Here’s where I go out on the limb.  What if, as my brilliant daughter put forth, the “astera” weren’t space rocks but debris returning from being flung into orbit?  When certain volcanoes erupted in recent years they produced ash that occluded the light of sun locally for quite a few hours.  At night it could produce a blood moon.  It could produce the ash columns rising like boiling sky but it would be local and it might rain debris.  When Krakatoa blew in 1883 the seismic activity was allegedly reported until early in 1884.  But this is worse… far worse.  What if Yellowstone blew up?  It is a caldera class volcano and is said to be the park itself as being on the caldera.  Apparently this is a 34- 45 mile wide caldera which is a corner of Wyoming, of all things.  This is huge.  If it blew there would be catastrophic damage done planet wide and the United States would most likely be gone for good or at least reshaped beyond belief!  The ash and debris of the park would be flung upwards fairly high up maybe into the stratosphere only to rain down again.  The ash would be a planet wide problem and it might even produce an reduction of light by the sun and moon for a part of the day and the night…  its said the thing is overdue for a major blow out.
There was a program on Netflix about Dr Shoemaker of the Shoemaker-Levy comet.  He discovered that our planet does it’s solar orbit amid a plethora of asteroids and meteors some of which are easily the size of mountains.  They seem to run in near miss orbits around us as we move through space.  If ever any one of them were to hit us places like Crater Lake in Arizona would be the result. He did a major study on impact and his findings eerily match the descriptions of this catastrophe.
Nuclear exchanges could also do similar damage, of a certainty but they would almost certainly also truly ruin the environments globally. I cant rule this out however.  So then what we have is something that will cause a global tectonic plate shift that is noticeable.  It will cause the effect of “boiling sky” it will kick up or cause enough cloud cover to occlude the sun and such an effect might also make the moon look like a blood moon.  Interestingly enough also there are blood moons that occur naturally from time to time… could such a catastrophe happen during one of them?  The point in all this analysis is this; the preceding impacts of the horsemen and the above mega disaster are enough to right at this point have men of low and high stature running for cover and seeking to suicide rather than face what they perceive to be the GREAT DAY OF THE LORD.

Look at the response to all this below…  THEY KNOW!
Rev 6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 

Rev 6:16  and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 

Rev 6:17  for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? 
Can they see His face?  How do they really know? Or as is most likely, is this a very human reaction to difficult times and horrific disasters during such times?   What if anything actually stands out here?  In Paul’s day he was in some part driven by that he wanted to see the whole world won for Christ and the church well established by the time of the “second return”, which he felt could be in his lifetime.  The Christians in the Roman era on the night Rome burned (you have to admit that locally the sky was boiling with smoke!) thought “this is it, here He comes”.  Over and over during human history since Jesus and since the utterance of John’s words Christians have tried to put the puzzle together in practically every generation.  Paul is well spoken to say “wherefore comfort one another with these words” because the comforting thought in such times is that Christ is going to return and set things right.  One thing I can say of a certainty here is this climate will purify the church like nothing else will.  Persecution and dire circumstances will have His people call on Him faster than any known or unknown revival.  Sadly we shouldn’t need such things to cause us to look on high, but it seems we do.
Now taking a last look at these verses in light of the preceding; the fact that everyone from every stripe and rank of society is heading for caves in mountains and thus, high ground, indicating that below a certain altitude there may not be land or people or society per se, and hiding themselves in caves and what not, tells us the scope of devastation of the local society.  It is so bad that there is no other place to flee to.   One last note here, though it doesn’t apply, are the words of Jesus about the Abomination that desolates.  He told people to flee to the mountains to get out of town as it were, when they saw it.  All this may well be, but a birth pang.

Seals Four and Five

Tags

believers, death, depopulate, hades, horse, martyrdom, pale, revelation, riders

Rev 6:7  And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. 

Rev 6:8  And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. 

Now this is really rather frightening. Death rides the horse and hell, which is a place of lost souls apostate souls and the demonic entities is following.

Unlike the black horse rider who is actually restrained somewhat this rider is authorized to kill with the sword and this time it is a sword.  (Strongs Greek #4501) rhomphaia   Probably of foreign origin; a sabre, that is, a long and broad cutlass (any weapon of the kind, literally or figuratively): – sword.) with famine or scarcity of food leading to starvation (Strongs Greek# 3042 limos Probably from (Strongs Greek #3007  leipō A primary verb; to leave, that is, (intransitive or passive) to fail or be absent: – be destitute (wanting), lack.)  (through the idea of destitution); a scarcity of food: – dearth, famine, hunger) and death Strongs Greek #2288 thanatos (From Strongs Greek # 2348  thnēskō A strengthened form of a simpler primary word thanō (which is used for it only in certain tenses); to die (literally or figuratively): – be dead, die.); (properly an adjective used as a noun) death (literally or figuratively): – X deadly, (be . . .) death.)
He will depopulate the world by ONE QUARTER.  Apparently we have come to the seven billion on this planet as of 2013.  That’s about one and a half billion people.  That’s a lot of people to die because of social unrest and scarcity and global destabilization.  What we need to understand is that there are three maybe four groups of people here.

1.  The Believers,
2. The Non Elect
3. Those Elect possibly who are yet to call upon His name
4. The Apostate.

Of these the Believers are being martyred and the rest who martyr them are being …judged.

Rev 6:9  And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 

Rev 6:10  and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 

Rev 6:11  And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course. 

This is not happening on earth but gives a clue as to the wrath of the LAMB.  These are those martyred for HIS NAME.  He will AVENGE these deaths.

Seal Three

black, destabilization, economic, oil, revelation, scales, seal, wine

Rev 6:5  And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. 

Rev 6:6  And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not. 

Where as the white horse crowned rider is also perhaps seen in most cultures as the hero king who saves the day, the black horse rider would be seen as the arch-rival or villain that is to be vanquished.  This is the effect of the destabilization.  Economy gone awry.  Now this rider isn’t empowered by someone else, he is merely being given instruction from a voice in the midst of the four creatures.
Now wait.  Here is a clue to the identity of the sender.  At this time the tableau before the throne is the seated elders the four creatures the LAMB and the Ancient of Days. IF the LAMB is the one opening the seals then it stands to reason He is the sender.  So it is the LAMB more than likely who makes the statement.  This is a conclusion without support, of course because it could be the One Seated on The Throne. In the rule of the Kingdom a declaration like that will not come from Angels or Elders or the lesser ones, but from the Godhead alone.
The statement is that of economy for grain.   Now in the time of the King James Bible the pence was the coin.  Now according to http://abagond.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/money-in-shakespeares-time/,  a laborers wage was 9 pence per day.

The measure of wheat would const you 1/9th of your daily income.  IF you equate this to be minimum wage for a worker today in the state of Florida for 2013 is 7.79 per hour.  The average day is eight hours.  The average gross pay should be 62.82 per day.  Since in neither the era of John’s writing nor in the era of 1600’s was there social security medicare or deducted federal income tax, then you would figure this on the full gross pay as the net wage.  So the measure of wheat is 1/9th of 62.82 per day. I gather the math may run as follows 62.82 divided by 9 which equals a whopping 6.98 for that measure of wheat or three measures of barley.  That’s runaway inflation!  This is possibly the end result of major economic destabilization prior to a full monetary collapse.  Now this is just for a measure of grain.  Add to this, the cost to make the loaf you buy from the shelf and the price rises exponentially.

But also notice the declaration not to touch the oil or wine. That word touch is Strongs Greek# 91 adikeō From Strongs Greek # 94; to be unjust, that is, (actively) do wrong (morally, socially or physically): – hurt, injure, be an offender, be unjust, (do, suffer, take) wrong.  For some reason it may be that the oil and the wine are not to be effected by the inflation or not as much.

Symbolically the oil which is olive oil represents the Holy Spirit’s anointing and the wine, oinos really wine, represents the Blood of Jesus.  It may be that because they represent facets of the works of God, God the Holy Spirit and God the Son, they are not to be effected.  There is to be no injustice done them.  But I can happily say that oil and wine do not a meal make.  You still need… bread.
If grains are so high priced and we know that bread is made from them as well as livestock is fed by them and with the new biofuels there is an element of agriculture involved.  This means that the price of fuel will skyrocket and the price of grain fed animals as well, plus as fuel rises shipping goes up and now you see the spiraling food prices and the spiraling costs to produce the foods is actually leading to hoarding and scarcity.  Now let’s add in the previous actions of the prior horsemen and you have the set up for the next seal.

Seal Two

Tags

birth pains, destabilize, economy, peace, politics, red horse, rest, revelation, war

Rev 6:3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 

Rev 6:4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 

Now we see why the first Rider needed no ammunition.  The second rider was going to be waging the war for  him!  Now in the ends times Jesus tells us the birth pangs are wars and rumors of war.(Matt 24:6) Nations and races rising up against one another.  In the 20th and now 21st centuries war has increased until now it is everywhere.   Still peace might be seen to be on the earth.  But when this rider is loosed his is the ability to “Take Peace” from the planet.  Now we envision neighbor slaying neighbor in a frenzied bloodbath right?  Perhaps but perhaps not, actually this word peace has broader implications. Strongs Greek #1515 eirēnē Probably from a primary verb eirō (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication prosperity: – one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.

By implication… prosperity.  Now we can understand the next rider…  this is not necessarily only about war.  Because war is already being waged.  Nations and races are on the battlefields in increasing number with increasing frequency but now if we take away the PROSPERITY of the world then we might well be talking ECONOMICS.  Consider this in light of the third rider whose impact is on prices of goods and, by way of extension, services.  War destabilizes governments and destabilized governments undergo economic impact that is negative and that effects all the fields from agriculture to ecology to production and industry, medicine et al.

If we destabilize a nation and its economy begins to come apart where, for those whose reliance is on the economy, what happens to their “peace” their “rest” their “prosperity” and sense of balance and well being?  It vanishes.  If the nation being destabilized is hit with ecological disasters or it is taken over (the ultimate destabilization, subjugation) then you have the refugees fleeing to “get out”.  Now what about the nations surrounding who are now inundated with refugees who need to stretch resources to come to the aid of the refugees?  Destabilization and economic strain.

Now where is the peace of those whose reliance is on the economy?

But we have more … unrest.

Unrest eventually leads to violence and mob rule as the masses attempt to reset the crashing economy to get the process back down to enrich their piece of the economic pie.  Like a messy spill it just keeps spreading.  This is the “Peace” the red horse rider is taking away.  But he has authority to remove it.   The rest of the sentence “that they should slay one another” is the unrest and riot and violence and rebellion as the destabilization of the nation increases.  Looting and mob rule happen in natural disasters when expected aid doesn’t come and morality begins to break down into survival and every man for himself.  One of things we need to realize here is that along with the destabilization is a breakdown in morality.  The first rider is connected to lawlessness as we have seen. This rider will capitalize on the first.  If lawlessness is now the tendency and iniquity is the rule then it is not hard to press buttons and light the fires into fuller flame.  But with destabilization and a rising criminal element come consequences.

Now let’s look at the last image here.  The sword.  Great is as one would expect Megas or large, great, big etc.  Sword however is a surprise.  I would have thought it to be just a weapon but it is so much more than that. The word here is Strongs Greek #3162 machaira Probably feminine of a presumed derivative of (Strongs Greek # 3163; machē From (Strongs Greek #3164  machomai  Middle voice of an apparently primary verb; to war, that is, (figuratively) to quarrel, dispute: – fight, strive. . ); a battle, that is, (figuratively) controversy: – fighting, strive, striving)  a knife, that is, dirk; figuratively war, judicial punishment: – sword.

Now yes it is a weapon on the one hand but since we are looking at images then we also need to pay attention to the figurative. SO we have quarrel, dispute, fighting, striving, judicial punishment, controversy; all the elements for open war.  All this comes of factions, mistrust, greed et al.  This is the sword that eventually pits communities against one another in desperate bids to survive.  But this isn’t a simple blade but a great blade, which translates into national controversies and POLITICAL AGENDAS.  Right here the conspiracy theorist should be singing and gloating; for there would be a basis for the thought, that there was a power behind the politics driving the whole world into one direction.  And there is …  a red horse rider who is empowered by someone to cause the peace to be removed.  Sometimes it’s not what one does to add to the situation but what one removes to permit the situation to escalate on its own.  But let’s now follow the chain of events to its conclusion.

The Seals: Seal One

Tags

antichrist, conquer, Jesus, overcome, realm, revelation, serpent, spirit, white horse

Rev 6:1  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 

Rev 6:2  And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. 
Is this a literal horse and rider?  Maybe.  It is spiritual? Maybe.  Is it Allegorical?  No.  We are not dealing with myths but events and some we can see from an Earthly perspective and some we cannot.  But the two perspectives of the Spirit realm and the Earthly realm are connected and interacted upon and interacting with one another at various points.

This book is a VISION.  The events unfold in a certain order and every character, if you will, is clearly introduced and takes their place within the unfolding of events as they occur.

So this is, part of the vision  Let’s take a closer look at this image, maybe it has been used before.  Here is where Scripture needs to interpret Scripture.

A white horse.  The horse in Scripture came to the Conqueror.  Ironically there is no English mention of a WHITE HORSE in any other place save one; Rev 19:11 has the other White Horse and the name of its rider is “Faithful and True”

Rev_3:14  And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 

Witness in the Greek is not the one who testified or went door to door witnessing.  (Strongs Greek # 3144 martus Of uncertain affinity; a witness (literally [judicially] or figuratively [generally]); by analogy a “martyr”: – martyr, record, witness.)  Now let’s replay that verse the faithful and true MARTYR, for what He believed He gave up His life willingly as a Martyr for His own Testimony, as it were.  In that this is one of the Letters from Jesus to the Churches the identity of the 19th chapter rider is NOT IN QUESTION.  This is Jesus.

So who then would the 6th chapter rider be?  He is coming out conquering and to conquer. But the Greek word Nikaos (to subdue) is used twice.  Look at this in the Literal translation.
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse! And the one sitting on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went out overcoming, and that he might overcome.
Now this is a cause and effect.  Lets look a little closer at this image.   First off the crown was given to this rider.  So this is delegated authority unlike both Jesus and Anti-Christ or the Beast who have a right to rule on their own. Jesus as God the Son has all the Power and the Beast is permitted to exercise power for a short time.  But this rider is neither Jesus whose mouth is a sharp Sword or the Beast who has no weapons at all.  No this rider represents THREAT.  This rider is going to kick start a series of attitudes among those who are not in Christ.

Eph 2:2 states, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

Is this our rider?  One might think so but this Prince is already at work even in the world of this writer.  For the first verse tells us that we were once dead in our Trespasses and Sins.  It is these that we walked in and it is these that the Prince of the power of the air already uses.  It is these that the course of this world follows.  But another word for all this might also be Lawlessness.  Now we do have the Mystery of  Lawlessness.  2 Thess 2:7 states, For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way.  Now in the previous verses it talks about the revealing of the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction and that is Anti-Christ.  That is an actual personage whose number is 666.  But the mystery of Lawlessness the working of Satan as an influencer is not off the table of suspects for who our rider is.  What our rider seems to encourage results in war.  So the lawless attitude that is already prevalent in humanity today simply gets amplified.

This is the Evil day having its way with us and when that happens we simply STAND.

Eph 6:13 states, Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  We dont fight back, we dont get even, though this rider comes to overcome or subjugate.  To cause the already rife desire to rise up against uncomfortable rule in insurrection, anarchy, rebellion, as so many revolutions have done before and so many since this is the threat that hasnt the power to create permanent change.  Lawlessness only causes temporary change ups and stirs the pot so to speak.  This is our first rider.  In response to this overcoming we simply stand.

Prologue

Tags

blessings, curses, Deuteronomy, LAMB, scroll, suzerain, treaty

The book itself I am told is written in the style of Suzerain Treaty and it is. Chapter one opens with the introduction of the King (Jesus) and the writer of the book (John the Apostle). But the Holy Spirit has led me to realize that this book in the unfolding of the judgments is like unto Deut 28:15-68, the portion of the blessings and curses of obedience to the Law. The portion dealing with the curses is tiered or leveled.  Each level opens with a choice to obey or disobey and then lists the consequences of disobedience. Each level or tier of judgement becomes more severe than the last. The idea is to turn back to obey and be blessed. The difference here is that it is known that there will be no repentance or turning to salvation (which is the means of obedience to the Law, now)
Believe it or not the beginning of the sorrows of this world doesn’t actually start till the sixth chapter of Revelation. After the introduction of chapter one the King addresses the issues in the churches of the day as He sees them. These comprises the next two chapters. From Four through Five we have seen the Throne room and we have seen the Lamb and we have seen a scroll with seals that only the Lamb is authorized to unroll.  With each unrolling the seals are broken.
In chapter five this is the book.  Rev 5:1  And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 
The word book here is biblion.
G975 biblion A diminutive of (G976 biblos Properly the inner bark of the papyrus plant, that is, (by implication) a sheet or scroll of writing: – book.) ; a roll: – bill, book, scroll, writing.

Whereas the Strongs Greek section number 976 denotes a larger roll of writing, or scroll. The former denotes a smaller one.  The larger might be the Torah Scrolls of five “books” whereas the smaller might be a dingle haftorah scroll.  It would be one book as opposed to several in one bound roll of papyrus.

Also please understand that in this era we are before the Codex in this place.  I do believe the South American Native tribes used a primitive form of codex in their writings but they are also more or less folded “scrolls” The bound book came much later.  Now a sealed scroll will have a wax seal in place.  This is done by dribbling hot wax onto the end of the paper to stick it shut to the back of the roll.  Imagine the paper towel roll unrolled and re rolled with dribbled wax at various points sticking together various portions of the roll whilst allowing it roll shut for the final “seal” and you have the roll in theory which is being opened.  This roll represents the will of God the Father and The Son.  This Roll will represent the Wrath, not of the Father but of the Son. On the Cross God the Father has spent His Wrath onto the Son.  The Son was not only the only qualified individual under the Law to receive the wrath and thus cause atonement to be made for us but also quite frankly possibly the only one capable of withstanding the process itself.

Also because we see that it is His Wrath presumably He alone would be qualified and rightfully justified as the Wrathful One    to open this “roll”.
We need to understand whose wrath we are dealing with.  It is not an event for Atonement like the Cross it is an event of Vengeance WITHOUT ATONEMENT.
Understanding this now let’s look as the roll opens.  Each sealed portion releases a person or action into either the spirit world or the corporeal world.  When all the seals are opened we see the initial phase of the process.  This is the Revelation or unveiling of Christ the King and Judge.  This is NOT the Suffering Servant.  This is the King of Glory.  Jesus when He was raised fulfilled the Suffering Servant and after coming into the Heavenly Tabernacle He fulfilled the ceremonial aspect as it were of the High Priest.  In that He has not sat for as long as Grace has been for the Elect of God in intercession He has fulfilled the role of Intercessor/ Priest, and now fills His role as Heir Apparent to His own throne and as King IN JUDGEMENT who is cleaning the house and killing off his competition so as to properly set up His Kingdom.  This is the difference we need to keep in mind.

conspiracy, God, grace, revelation, society

This is a more of less in depth look at this book in part.  Some parts are not relevant to this blog and subsequent blogs.  Those who feel I do an injustice to the Book please understand it is not just a study but one of relevancy to the times in which we are now living.  A ministry I attend went on a missions trip and as part of that trip in obedience to the Lord they had to do a bible study, that had to do with certain martyrs and martyrdom globally and in the USA as well.  This then has the Holy Spirit take me back into this book and deal with it from a somewhat different perspective.  Though I will post the eight positions on the rapture and the subsequent positions on Eschatology in general it is not my job here to get into that arena.  My job is to let scripture for the most part do the work of explaining this book.  Any other theorem I present here deals with possible relevancy issues of this book at this time in history. I am not trying to put out conspiracy theories though I think some of their work provides interesting insight to the set up dynamics of this age. I will say that I am beginning to think I am being led to consider certain things concerning the current mental ascent of society and how it possibly got there, and its possible impact on the Revelation of Jesus Christ.  I will refer by link from time to time in my blogs and or posts within a given blogs to content on a site I have. The theories and or perspective understandings I am posting here are not necessarily supported or endorsed by any ministry I am a part of.  This for me would be considered; King’s Business. I also do NOT endorse civil disobedience, inciting to revolution, or rebellion of any kind against the government of this nation (USA) or any other nation in the world as it stands as of this posting. Their is but regime I by the grace of God seek strength to oppose in all manner, and that is the Regime of the Antichrist.  Seeing as that regime as of this posting does NOT exist I must defer to the scriptures which tell us to live peaceably with all men in so far as it my ability to do; obey the law of the land and respect the lawgivers of this land. Neither these blogs nor the site linked to it are in support of anything but the will of God which at this hour is LAWFULNESS.

To the readers having posted be forewarned that anyone stating anything suggesting I endorse other than what is stated herein may be subject to legal action.  Otherwise feel free to read.
