Lot, in essence, said, "No way. These guys are my guests. Take my
two virgin daughters and have sex with them if you must, but don't
attack these two visitors."
But, the crowd outside wanted the two angels. The angels grabbed
Lot and pulled him inside his home. The town's people started to beat
down the door. The angels suddenly afflicted the crowd with
blindness, but the town's people continued to try to get at the angels.
Basically, the two angels took Lot, his wife and his two daughters out
of the town where they would not be harmed. Then God rained down
fire and brimstone destroying the two cities, their inhabitants, and
everything that grew in them. God warned Lot and his family to leave
and not look back. While God was destroying the cities, Lot's wife
looked back at Sodom and was turned into a pil ar of salt.
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is what happened then. But this
story is also an il ustration of how much God hates this type of sin
and what the END of this SECOND EARTH AGE will be like. He tells
us it wil be like this AGAIN on earth as we near the end of this
Second Earth Age. The fallen angels wil be kicked out of heaven with
Satan and will again try to seduce women here on Earth. That is what
Paul is talking about when he says women should have their heads
covered. He means they should have their head covered with the
"Power" of the Gospel of Christ, so they wil not be seduced by fallen angels.
1 Corinthians 11:10
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because
of the angels.
God tells us in The Book Of Jude that the FALLEN ANGELS are held
in chains until the end of this EARTH AGE.
Jude 1: 6,7
6. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.
7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like
manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire.
The fallen angels will be released onto the earth again for a short
period along with SATAN at the end of this Second earth age we are
in now. Things will be as they were in the time of NOAH. The fallen
angels wil again attempt to enter women and breed children; Hybrid
offspring composed of a fallen angel father and a human mother are
called Geber. That's what God is warning us about in I Corinthians.
Cover your head with Christ to protect you from the fallen angels.
I Corinthians 11:4-6.
4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.
5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she
were shaven.
6. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a
shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
Here in Corinthians Paul is using "a Hebraism" (a figure of speech in their time) to tell women to have Christ over their heads to protect
them from the fallen angels. For when the fallen angels return at the
end of this second earth age they will lust after women as they did
before.
So now we come to the time of Noah. The evil on earth gets so bad
(as just il ustrated) that God decides to have another flood and wipe
everything out EXCEPT Noah, his immediate Adamic family, and two
of every living thing.
(Yes, Noah took OTHER people than those of the Adamic family [the
family line of Christ] on the arc. That is why we have all the races in
the world today. God said take two of every living thing. Also, Noah
probably took MORE than two of some animals so he would have
them for blood sacrifices to God and animals for food.)
Now back to our story. The Fallen Angels had corrupted most of the
seed line of Adam, which Christ was to come through. God decides to
keep Noah and his immediate family alive because they are the only
family from the line of Adam who did not "mix" with the fallen angels.
Christ would come through their seed line. Al the other descendants
of Adam had their seed lines polluted by the fallen angels.
God causes the great flood to come upon those left behind, which
wiped out all the giants (Geber). God brought Noah's flood to destroy
the Geber. Then, when the water recedes, Noah and his shipmates
start re-populating the earth with living creatures and humans again.
This continues the seed line (family) through which Christ would
come. It also continues the seed lines of the sixth day human
creation.
In The Book of Exodus God gives His children much of the law. The
law is good. It tells us how we should live. In Exodus God gives
Moses the Ten Commandments. Exodus means "The Coming Out" in
Hebrew. God's children are under bondage and God frees them and
brings them out of Egypt. It is a parallel to the New Testament and
Christ dieing to redeem us all, so we can be brought out of the
bondage of sin.
There is so very much more in the Old Testament that I cannot even
begin to cover in this short work. Basically, in the Old Testament, God
shows us our sin and uses His prophets to foretell us of the Messiah,
His coming, and our way out of sin.
The whole Bible is God's letter to us so we can seek Him out and
understand His plan for our life.
The New Testament tells of Christ's actual coming and ministry. It
gives us instructions and enlightenment so we can believe in Jesus
Christ and come back to God, give Him our love, and serve Him. This
was all foretold in the set of books we call The Old Testament.
There is a lot of theology this book will not specifically go into
because of the great length required to do so. This book is NOT the
Bible, nor is it intended to replace the Bible. I will simply list here the
Apostles Creed which wil give you a very brief overview of
Christianity. If you wish to explore each of these points individually I suggest you use The Companion Bible and Strong's Concord to study
associated scriptures.
The Apostle's Creed was not specifically taught word for word by
Christ's apostles. The Apostle's Creed is basically a summary of what
Christs Apostles taught. The version I list here goes back to about the
8th century. Remember, this is just a brief overview of Christianity.
For your further understand I now present the Apostle's Creed.
APOSTLE'S CREED.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was
conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended
into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into
heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting.
Amen.
Please note: The word "Catholic" in this creed does not mean just the Roman Catholic Church, but the "Universal Christian Church" as
a whole: The body of all true Christian believers. Hopefully this
capsule of Christianity called The Apostle's Creed has helped give
you an overview of the basics of Christianity.
Remember, I said earlier there were Three Earth Ages. This is all
going on in the Second Earth Age. When it talks about the end of the
world in the New Testament it is NOT talking about the world
ending! What the real translation means is THE END OF THIS ERA
which is The Second Earth Age. The earth will not cease to exist but will again be renewed by God. (Author's note: See Revelation 21:1
and use your Strong's Concordance and Companion Bible to
better understand this. I'm not going to take the time to go into it here.
Hint: First means "former" in this passage. Again, use your Strong's!
We are now living in The Second Earth Age, during the period of time
called THE GENERATION OF THE FIG TREE. In Mark 13 and
Matthew 24 Christ tells his disciples about The Generation Of The Fig
Tree. This is when Israel becomes a nation again. Israel has not been
a nation since the ten lost tribes were taken out of Israel to the north
by the Assyrians, and the Tribe of Judah and Benjamin went into
captivity by Nebuchadnezzar and was carried away eastward
to Babylon.
In 1948 A.D. Israel once again became a nation. This began The
Generation Of The Fig Tree which Christ told his apostles about in
Mark 13:28-29. You see Fig trees are not started by seeds. You take
a fig cutting, sometimes called a shoot, and transplant it. This is what
happened in 1948; The Jews started returning to their homeland of
the Nation of Israel. This is the immigration (transplanting) of the
Jews (the living fig shoots) back into The Nation of Israel (back into
their land). Christ also talks of good figs and bad figs. Christ is
referring to the Jews and the Kenites, both living in The Nation of
Israel at the same time, claiming to be the children of God.
Christ let his Apostles know that when they see The Generation Of
the Fig Tree, the time of His return is growing much closer. In other
words, we are now approaching the time when Satan will be thrown
out of heaven and come to earth as the Imitation Messiah. This
must happen BEFORE the True Christ returns.
Christ tells us we won't know the exact day of Christ's return, but we
WILL know the season. When Christ returns we will all transform into
our spiritual bodies. Our flesh bodies wil fall away. Christ wil set up
his kingdom on earth and the mil ennium will start. This is a 1000 year
period of teaching. At the end of this 1000 year teaching period it wil
be the end of the Second Earth Age and beginning of the Third Earth
Age.
But, before Christ returns, the False Messiah wil come to the earth
and attempt to lead as many people astray as possible to follow him.
The word Antichrist does NOT literally mean "against Christ".
The Literal and "Correct" translation of Anti-Christ
from the Greek is -"INSTEAD -OF -CHRIST".
(Strong's 473 and 500).
Strong's Concordance Greek word 473: anti.
anti an-tee' a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of
(rarely in addition to):--for, in the room of. Often used in composition
to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.
The Archangel Michael wil kick Satan and the fallen angels out of
heaven. Satan and the fallen angels wil be cast to earth.
Revelation 12:7-9
7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven. 9. 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.
Christ tells us in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 that Satan comes
to earth and sets himself up as Jesus Christ in Jerusalem.
Mark 13:14
14. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that
readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the
mountains:
A more correct translation would be, "standing where he ought not".
And the word desolation should be correctly translated, "desolater".
So we could more correctly translate Mark 13:14 to read,
"But when you see the abomination of the desolater, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, standing where he ought not, (let him that reads
understand,) then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains:"
The Apostle Paul clearly shows us that Satan comes as the Anti-
Christ before the true Christ returns.
II Thessalonians 2:1-9.
1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2. 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.
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; 4. 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.
5. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things?
6. And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his
time.
7. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
letteth wil let, until he be taken out of the way.
8. 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:
9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
power and signs and lying wonders,
Perdition means death. The Son of Perdition is Satan plain and
simple.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS JUST BEFORE SATAN
RETURNS?
The coming tribulation will last for 5 months. The first part of the
five months there wil be a Political Beast (the one world political
system). It wil almost work and then begin to falter. It will receive a
deadly wound. Satan wil then come and fix the one world political
system (system referred to as the beast in the following scriptures). It
will become his Religious Beast. Remember in these verses Satan is
"The Dragon". "The Beast" is The One World Political System.
Revelation 9:1-11 says;
1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto
the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of
the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were
darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of
the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those
men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5. And to them it was given that they should not kil them, but that
they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and
shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto
battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces were as the faces of men.
8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the
teeth of lions.
9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the
sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses
running to battle.
10. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in
their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in
the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
(Note: The underlining and bolding of the words five months in the
above scripture passage was done by the author.)
Again, basically what the above verses from Revelation say is that
the Great Political Beast is almost set up and a flood of lies begins.
This starts the five month Tribulation. The scorpions are not real
scorpions. Notice the use of the word "like". In reality they are not scorpions, but Kenites spreading lies; false doctrine. They fool most
of the population of the earth into following The Political Beast and
then Satan. Only those with the knowledge of God's Scriptures that
the Anit-Christ comes first are "sealed" or protected from this flood of lies. In other words the real truth of God, and not doctrines of man,
are sealed in their brains.
Revelation 13:5
1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out
of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten
crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the
feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon
gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and
his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and
followed the beast.
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and
they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able
to make war with him?”
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies,
and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
In other words Satan, The Anti-Christ, wil stand in the holy place in
Jerusalem on Mt. Zion claiming to be the true Christ.
The tribulation wil last for five (5) months. There wil be a flood of lies
for five months total. But you must not be fooled.
Christ Says in Mark 13:23
Behold I have foretold you all things.
THE TRIBULATION IS SHORTENED TO FIVE
MONTHS.
Let me stop here and make a few comments. God has shortened the
time of the tribulation from three and a half years (3-1/2 years) to five
months (5 months). Hear what Christ has to say about this:
Matthew 24:21-24.
21. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
I'm not going to go into the details of the shortening. That would be a
good study for you when you have finished this book. For the sake of
brevity and continuity I am going to leave you with Christ's words
which you have just read above. Also, I have shown you in Revelation
9:1-11 that the total tribulation wil last 5 months.
I have documented for you in Matthew 24:24 that Christ said it was
shortened from a longer period of time. I'm going to leave you with
that for now.
You can verify it was shortened from 3-1/2 years on your own.
(Remember, don't take my word for it. Dig the details out for yourself.
See my comments about further information for continued study at
the end of this work.)
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SATAN COMES IN
PERSON?
When Satan arrives in person as the Anti-Christ he will fool most of
the people on earth into believing he is the true Christ. (Remember all
that False Doctrine Of Man I warned you about at the beginning of
this book?) Only those sealed in their brains with the truth of God
about Satan and his followers wil not be fooled.
Satan wil not come with literal horns and a tail. He wil appear to be the true Christ returned. He will be a beautiful creature! He wil preach
peace. He will have many supernatural powers and show false signs
and wonders. As it says in the Book of Revelation he wil be able to
snap his fingers and make fire come down from the sky:
Revelation 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,...
The Strong's Concordance in the Greek shows Word 4442 to be
"lightening". If you think people go nuts over earthlings that are movie stars and professional entertainers, think how much more people wil
follow one who is able to perform such acts; Especially if they
mistakenly believe he is Christ returned to earth.
Since Satan is supernatural, he wil have supernatural powers to try
and fool us into believing in him.
I once heard Pastor Dennis Murray use the example of walking on
water to fool us. He said something to the effect that if you were in
the presence of Satan and he said, "Come, walk on water with me",
and you started walking on water, that would be a very powerful
demonstration Satan could use to fool you into believing he was the
true Christ! Be a watchman and keep your guard up against Satan.
The Bible also tells us that in the last days of the second earth age,
before the True Christ returns, there will be a famine. But the famine
will NOT be for bread. Rather, the famine wil be a Spiritual Famine
from not be hearing the TRUE word of God at this time.
Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine
in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing
the words of the LORD:
There wil be many preachers preaching Christianity, but they will
not be teaching the word of God line by line and verse by verse.
They will be teaching the "Doctrines of Man".
So, many preachers and most people wil not understand it is Satan
that is coming as the "INSTEAD OF CHRIST". Their hands wil
unknowingly be doing the work of Satan. This is the first tribulation.
Because of this Satan wil fool many people into following him when
he comes to earth. That's what he wants. He (Satan) wants to be
WORSHIPPED INSTEAD OF CHRIST. He wil try to take God's
place again. And the majority of Christian preachers are preparing the
way by not really teaching God's word chapter by chapter and verse
by verse.
Mark 13:21-22
21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he
is there; believe him not:
22. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew
signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
God has already judged Satan and condemned him to die. (Actually
Satan is the ONLY soul that has already been judged by name to
death.) But it is necessary for him to do these things so we wil have
the opportunity to make up our minds to follow Satan or The TRUE
Christ.
Here we come to the whole point of this paper.
Now that you understand why these things are happening,
