Last Days Timeline, A literal interpretation of biblical prophecy, second edition by Gregory Supina - HTML preview

The elite use money to control the lives of those whom they deem to be “inferiors,” and oppress the majority in the sphere of their control. Money allows a few self-deluded souls to control all access to all necessities of life, so they can control others through their control of all goods and services, so they can coerce others to serve them instead of God and God’s creations. If a few elite are allowed to use their financial power to require everyone to serve only their selfish and destructive purposes, and do not allow for the free distribution of all necessities according to each one’s needs, then everyone is forced to destroy themselves and the earth for the temporary carnal benefits of a few elite fools.

If a people worships (esteems and serves) the self-appointed elite as their highest gods, instead of the just and loving Creator God, they have fallen into delusions, as a punishment of God, and they will destroy their enslaved lives. Some even think those human gods are gods who control the decisions of God, and that none will be able to worship God without the help of those human gods. But all such thoughts are delusions, and God’s first and worst kind of punishment is to cast unrepentant sinners into delusions. Every sane and rational person knows that the real Creator God demands deeds of just love, since even nature teaches this. But human gods demand unjust deeds to be done

for their own profit or pleasure, and even start murderous wars to gain more power and control. This is also why controlling financial systems are always so critical to the religion of Roman humanism.

Satan designed the religion of humanism to enable him to exert control over all the earth, but covertly, so that even some of the elect might not realize that they are actually worshiping him. The devil makes a few of his selfishly ambitious children think they have survived the hardships which that devil puts them through,makes them think they saved themselves through their own strength and wisdom. Thus, those non-elect grow vain and become psychopaths who exalt themselves, but they are also loveless by nature, so they care nothing for the welfare of others. Then Satan helps them and appoints those ruthless children to the highest positions in his artificial hierarchies, because he now manipulates every vain thought in their souls. But, since Satan deludes them, they think they have made themselves into elite superiors, and only choose other psychopaths who think the same way, controlled entirely by the spirit of Satan, to be exalted elite controllers in the hierarchy with them.

Then, because those elite control the distribution of all goods and services in their hierarchical system, their “inferiors” are easily convinced to worship them as their saviors and gods, since the “salvation” of their flesh depends on those elite who enslaved them through money and the power of violent threats. This is why all sects of humanism, like Fascism, Capitalism and Communism, focus so much upon financial systems. Then they also need to support those financial systems with the brute force of the military and police in their states, as well as control over the media, lest it reveals any realities which might threaten their financial control. There is a reason why Satan chose Mammon to stand by his right hand, since money is essential to his doctrines of humanism, to his religion which requires the worship of his non-elect children whom that devil completely controls.

Ancient Babylon, whom the church of Judah was striving to emulate, placed a strong emphasis on financial systems. So did Persia, Greece and Rome. Likewise, so too will the beast, whose head is Babylon. That Roman beast will control the people through his financial systems, by not allowing anyone to buy or sell anything unless they wear the sign of his name or his number on their hands or foreheads, to indicate that they worship him. So the financial systems of all four of those nations which built up Satan’s world-wide, anti-God, religious kingdom had one thing in common. All were designed to oppress the masses into submission to a despot in a hierarchical class system. Yet God does not simply condemn those four nations of Satan’s humanistic religion because of their greed and other forms of covetousness, but because their “covetousness … is idolatry” (Col. 3:5). God hates the religion of humanism because it promotes the worship of money and the worship of men who enslave the people through the power of money. God will destroy all humanists because they have murdered, destroyed, starved, caused homelessness and committed every kind of sin through their lies about money and about the artificial hierarchies of human gods they create through money.

And Zephaniah clearly was not prophesying about the Babylonian invasion of Judah in the sixth century BC, but about the future events which will soon throw the whole world into chaos, about God’s wrath pouring out against the world power of the beast in the end times, and slaughter sinners everywhere on earth. God’s wrath will utterly annihilate the humanists on earth primarily because they deliberately make idols of human beings and bow to their demands as though they were gods. God will destroy those greedy idolaters because they intentionally sin against Him, against His people and against His creations. For all know that their sins are condemned by Him, since all can read God’s will in His creations and in His Word. Remember, while mankind remained ignorant of God and His ways, God overlooked many of their sins (Acts 17:30). But His wrath will come after the people no longer have the excuse of ignorance, after the true Gospel has been preached to all the world. And this means that His wrath could not fall upon the world until after the invention of media

Page 682

which could reach everywhere on earth, which has been recently invented. So when everyone has access to the written words of God, with translators for every language, God’s wrath will pour out.

Secular humanists and humanistic religions now deliberately sin directly against God, then also indirectly sin against Him by destroying His people and His other creations. Thus, God will no longer hold back His wrath. Zephaniah’s prophecy states that God’s wrath will fall upon His enemies because they have sinned against Him, indicating that they knew God forbade their sins, but did those sins deliberately against Him. Of course, every kind of sin is against Yahweh, since God created all and owns all, so any sin against any of God’s creations is actually a sin against God, the Owner. But ignorance of God and His law makes a sin unintentional and, therefore, it is not a sin directly “against Yahweh,” as Zephaniah declared. Yet Satan’s world order, including the filthy false churches belonging to the world order, now ruthlessly sin deliberately and directly against God through a genuine hatred of God, since they know that God and His Word does condemn their sins!

The world’s sins of neglect and sins of exploitation for money, to maintain the power of their human gods in hierarchical class systems, even as these sins cause the deaths of the innocent and destroy God’s other creations, are all deliberate and knowingly against the will of our Creator God. All their sins for their own evil purposes and pleasures, are far beyond anything anyone can possibly call unintentional. Even pagan cultures, totally insulated from God’s Word, would call them sins, since even they possess a basic knowledge of just love, taught by God’s Spirit through His creations. And our just, holy God cannot justly forgive unrepentant deliberate sins, but must oppose them with His wrath. Yet the world and false churches continue to do those sins, and primarily through their blind adherence to the world-wide religion of the beast’s Roman humanism, through the worship of men.

So this prophecy tells those deliberate sinners that they can expect to be sentenced to the first and foremost punishment of God, because of their fully intentional, unrepented sins. And His first and foremost kind of punishment is to hand them over to delusions. Their spirits will be made “blind” to all that is truly of value and worth in life. They will not see what can be brought with us into heaven after death, nor be able to walk in the abundant and inwardly blessed life that God grants those who pursue just love. Instead, men with money and power will enslave them in dark, empty lives. They will not seek God and His righteous kind of love, but continue to seek useless emptiness and vanity. They will strive for ever more money, carnal power, immoral gratifications of their destructive desires of the flesh, worthless accolades of men, and other useless and unreal “rewards” of Satan’s world order. Once they are blind, they will no longer see any truth, and only truth will be able to set them free from their slavery to their Satan-enslaved human gods (John 8:32). So God will kill them.

Now elect spirits need to learn the useful knowledge and wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit of Jesus, so they might joyfully love in an effective, just, righteous, pure, abundant and God-like life. After God hardens non-elect hearts in a cold, ruthless darkness of lies and delusions, by handing their spirits over to Satan, so they become the blind slaves of demonically controlled human gods, their lives will be empty, worthless and futile. Then those dissatisfied non-elect will grow destructive both to themselves and to everyone they touch. In the end, all the non-elect, all the spirits born of Satan, will become intolerable to the elect, and a separation of the elect from the non-elect will occur, where neither will want to share their lives with the other. They might live and work beside one another, but the elect will avoid the non-elect and the non-elect will hate God’s loving elect.

But even some of the stubborn elect will be temporarily hardened and handed over to Satan, to his delusions. However, these elect will only be enslaved by Satan’s delusions until their flesh will either surrender to their spirits or perish in exasperation, through the futility of their empty lives. Literally

all elect spirits will be saved on the judgment day (I Cor. 5:5), but not all will be saved from lies and sins while they dwell in earthly perceptions. Only non-elect spirits will be eternally immersed in the delusions they acquire through their hellish father’s counsel. Only the non-elect will forever continue to cling to the darkness of their delusions and lies beyond the grave. For that spiritual darkness is the only thing they love, and God will allow them to keep it in hell, where no light will ever destroy it.

Now, since most of the world is already deluded, and most have already fallen deep into the blindness of their delusions, they are prepared to be sacrificed in the severe plagues that God shall cast upon the earth during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. And, just as the Pharaoh became ever more blind in the days of Moses, ever more hardened with delusions after God struck him and his land with many plagues, so too will non-elect become more blind and hardened as the end times progress towards the day Jesus returns. In fact, God will blind the non-elect so badly that they will then foolishly kill a third of themselves in a senseless, futile world war (Rev. 9:13-21). Yet even then they will not repent from the folly of worshiping man, from their humanistic systems that are killing themselves and all they touch. Thus, very soon after this world war, God will hand Satan’s children over to a complete blindness. And this blinding of the non-elect will be worked through the beast, through the “lawless one,” who will create and enforce very many laws, but all against God’s laws.

“Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of His coming; even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (II Thes. 2:8-12, WEB). We have seen this delusion in those who worship human gods like Hitler and Trump. And the coming beast will also be a fascist like them, only far more cunning and charming, the psychopathic kind of con man who is always loved by secular and religious humanists. God will cast the non-elect into an utter and total blindness, so they will heap up condemnation for themselves and fall deep into the darkness of their own delusions, so they will cling to that darkness forever in hell after they die.

After the loveless, blinded non-elect are judged and sent to hell, they will suffer even more, since they will become most like their father, Satan. For they will be entirely spiritual, without a body and brain of flesh, but still possess their most cherished desire to become gods. While on earth, they loved their own darkness more than God’s light, and ruthlessly strove to feel like gods, by crushing other lives for their own profit and entertainment. So God will grant them that darkness for eternity, although they will never see earth or heaven again, nor any of God’s good creations. So not one of their lies and delusions will be able to be gratified again. They will have none to abuse or exploit for their pleasure, nothing to make them artificially feel like powerful gods with the power to make the innocent cringe in fear, no lives to kill as wanna-be gods. So they will scream forever in hell, with consuming and burning frustration over their eternal impotence and poverty, as powerless refuse.

Now let the elect with awakened spirits take these prophecies to heart and prepare for that day of the Creator God’s return to this earth. For the elect do not want to become gods, but prefer to become one with their Father and Brother, serving the life around them through just and equitable love, by doing whatever God calls their spirits to do each day. For if Zephaniah, in the seventh century BC, felt that the coming Day of Yahweh was “near and hastening fast,” how much nearer is it now, for us living at the end of the fifth seal’s era? But much needs to be done before that day. Many elect need to be rightly taught before the sixth seal is opened, so they can then help prepare the elect who will repent during the seventh seal’s era. The elect will need to be prepared in a few short years, to bear

Page 684

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

God’s plagues during the sixth and seventh seals. And who will God train to be teaching elders now, so the next generation can have just, wise, loving elders to set examples and counsel them during the revival of the sixth seal, to be the body of Jesus for them during the coming tribulations of the flesh?

Right now, we cannot find a single church that remains faithful to our God Jesus and His Word. All are humanists following human heads. None of the elders point to Jesus, and teach that only He can teach one’s spirit, that Jesus is the only Head of every man. None preaches the true Gospel of Jesus coming to forgive our sins to restore our right relationship with His Holy Spirit, who will personally and directly teach and train our spirits for our eternal salvation. So who will minister to the church, as the physical body of Jesus, when the revival comes, when thousands of infantile elect spirits need a body to hold onto to as they face insurmountable earthly troubles? And if God does not first call, teach, qualify and send elders for that day, what is to become of the elect when the wrath of God falls on all the whole earth? Now is the time for many spirits to heed the Spirit of our God Jesus, and learn from Him how to wisely and justly love and serve the family of God, even how to cautiously love our enemies and how to judge rightly between the two. Yet few know anything about any of these things in our day, as the fake churches and synagogues eagerly worship wanna-be human gods.

“Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation [i.e., this “nation” is the church of Israel], before the decree takes effect—before the day passes away like chaff—before there comes upon you the burning anger of [Yahweh], before there comes upon you the day of the anger of [Yahweh]. Seek [Yahweh], all you humble of the land, who do His just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of [Yahweh]” (Zeph. 2:1-3). The day before the anger of God is the day or era before the sixth and seventh seals bring His wrath upon the earth. That is, now is that time to “gather together.” The last day or era before His plagues begin to destroy Satan’s world order, when the last generation will be born to witness those final days until Jesus returns, is this current time, that which Jesus called the era of the fifth seal in the Revelation.

God told us that the Satan’s fourth religious kingdom from Babylon, what we would call Roman humanism, would conquer and devastate the world. But He also told us that His Messiah would come with His own religious kingdom of loving justice and equity. And His kingdom would be an indestructible “rock,” not cut by human hands but by God’s hands. This Messiah’s salvation, worked entirely by God through His unmerited grace alone, would grow into a mountain that would crush Satan’s kingdom to dust. Then the winds of angelic spirits would blow it away. Today, we live in the time when Satan’s kingdom has completed its conquering, and humanism has almost destroyed the entire planet. However, God’s Messianic truths have also grown into a mountain at this time as well.

So the day that God’s mountain will crush Satan’s kingdom into dust, through the plagues of the sixth and seventh seals, is drawing near. And this means the time for the elect to “gather together” must occur very soon, within a few decades or even a few years. And it will come to its full fruition during the revival that “seals” the elect under God’s power and protection, which will happen in the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. But the beginning of that gathering together of God’s elect must start now, during this era of the fifth seal. Yet, at the present time, the churches and synagogues are indeed a “shameless nation,” who have even panted after little anti-Christs like Hitler and Trump. They are all Roman humanists, indulging in the worship of human gods, just like those belonging to Satan’s world order. Those falsely claiming to worship the God of the Bible actually try to become gods who can oppress their brothers and sisters in the family of humankind, who can destroy God’s creations for a profit, who can arrogantly exploit God’s property as though they own it and can do whatever they desire with it. But now the elect will need to repent, “before the decree takes effect.”

Now is the time when the elect must begin to “seek Yahweh,” who is our God Jesus. All spirits that were made able to justly love, all whom His Holy Spirit removes from Satan’s world order so they become the lowly and “humble of the land,” all whose elect spirits compel them to “do His just commands,” must repent into His truths as soon as He begins to teach and train their spirits. For the time is growing short and great hardships are about to fall upon the entire earth. But many of the elect who “gather together” to share the burden of those tribulations; who “seek righteousness” through God-like, equitable and just love; who “seek humility” by becoming equal siblings within the family of God; will “be hidden on the day of the anger of Yahweh.” None but a remnant of the elect will survive to see Jesus land on the Mount of Olives, or return to life in the first resurrection.

In our day, churches give praise and accolades, like doctorate degrees, to arrogant thieves who make their fortunes by stealing from the poor, who deceive and lie for their own personal gain, who deny basic care for the needy or for “strangers” in their lands, who either directly or indirectly kill the innocent, who exploit flesh through sexual immorality, whose hearts are wholly given over to Satan as his slaves, who willfully practice evil continuously. For they are all humanists, not Christians nor Jews in God’s priesthood of Israel. Neither those churches, nor the men they esteem so highly, know God. Only those who truly love in the way God’s Word defines real love—in a just, righteous, pure way that fulfills God’s laws by caring for the needy, for strangers, for widows and for orphans, in a personal and loving way, in a sacrificial way that serves God, in a way that sets the priorities of each day according to the will of God—knows God and is born of God. All who do not love in this way do not know Jesus, our God (I John 3:16-18; 4:7-8). All who are not learning to love in this way cannot belong to God’s true church, because they are not God’s elect, but are the loveless non-elect.

But now the elect must “gather together,” which means they must first separate from the non-elect who do not tolerate just, God-like love. The elect must no longer practice Satan’s religion of humanism, but must now place their faith in their God Jesus, and in His words. Humanists actually practice a form of Satanism. They ultimately worship Satan by esteeming and serving Him and His teachings about becoming gods, who do whatever they desire at the expense of all others, just like their hellish father. So humanists cannot be true Christians, and the elect must not be humanists.

Literally all elect spirits, whether or not their minds of flesh know it, have been taught by the Holy Spirit of Jesus to love in a just way from birth. So all elect spirits have been prepared to become true Christians from birth, made ready for repentance, completion and perfecting on the last day, so all may serve in the family priesthood of the Father in heaven. And the true church only consists of the genuine elect who have had their eyes opened so their spirits can see Jesus, and consciously know Him. Thus, the elect in a true church learn directly and effectively from Jesus about loving in His just and wise ways, with His Law written on their hearts and minds. Since the false churches are just humanistic institutions owned by Satan’s world order, we must have nothing to do with them, just as we do not claim to belong to the atheists, fascists, Hindus or other religions of the world order. In fact, since humanistic churches slander the good name of Jesus more than other religions, they are the worst enemies of God, more than those other worldly institutions. So we need to completely forsake all false churches, although we must still seek the elect who are trapped in false churches.

The true elect now need to gather together., as a sanctified and separate people from the non-elect. For God commands it, especially as the Day of Yahweh, the coming of our Lord Jesus, draws near. If there are any elect who have been lured into false churches, into the Great Prostitute named Babylon, or into any of her harlot daughters, the time when they must come out and gather among us is rapidly approaching. So we pray that our God Jesus shall wake their spirits so they will leave the the Great Prostitute and her daughters, lest the humanistic spiritual food and drink poisons them, lest they will

Page 686

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

become so inwardly weak and deluded that they will be incapable of rightly and effectively serving Jesus through just love in any way whatsoever. For then they will not gather with us when the era of the sixth seal begins, and will not be able to prepare for His coming. Nevertheless, Jesus will indeed gather together His chosen true elect at the appointed times, into the family priesthood of God, into the true church. And literally all the elect, but especially with the awakened elect, must never forbid visitors from coming, as long as those visitors do not come to steal, exploit and harm our brothers and sisters. For there will still be elect trapped in false churches and other false religions to the end.

Now let us be more prudent in whom we call our brothers or sisters, so we do not bring destructive lies and delusions into our family. For all true love must be built on a foundation of truth alone, and love’s house will fall to the ground in the first storm if it is built upon the sands of delusions and lies from humanism and other religions in Satan’s world order. Some may point out that there are truths in every religion, then conclude that all religions must become one. But the only reason there are some truths in all religions is because God wrote His truths in all His spiritual and physical creations, and there are some elect in those religions who see those truths. But there are also non-elect in every false religion, who nullify those truths with their lies and delusions. So the elect only want the real truths from all those other religions, the truths which they already possess, as well as the elect who are still trapped in those false religions. The elect want nothing to do with the liars and all their lies.

So who are these elect? How will we know them, especially if they have not yet been awakened by Jesus’ Holy Spirit? Well, I repeat, Jesus taught us: “By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit” (Mat. 7:16-17, WEB). Every elect spirit is born in God’s image and is taught by God to bear at least some good fruits of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control” (Gal. 5:22-23, WEB). At least some elements of what God’s Law truly teaches will be found in the true elect, spontaneously flowing from their spirits. But, if we see nothing but poisoned lies flowing from the heart of a person, such as the defamation of innocent immigrants or normal, law-abiding souls from other races, religions, political parties and so on, then we know that unjust hatred comes from Satan, and they are his non-elect children. The spirits who naturally and spontaneously “do the desires of” Satan are born of him, and “he was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him” (John 8:44, WEB).

God’s Word says the true children of God, the spirits born of Him and made in His image, are the truly loving ones who “do His just commands” and “seek righteousness.” Of course, all His elect children live in flesh on earth and all their elect spirits are infantile. Thus, all are sinners and do not always spontaneously love in His just ways. But all do so at times, some more than others. And all the elect love to love in God-like ways. All their spirits “seek righteousness,” so they can “do His just commands.” And the whole of God’s Law can be summed in just two commands; love God and love those whom God places within the sphere of your life. This is the work of Christ’s Holy Spirit, to sanctify us, to make us justly loving. This is what Jesus came to do, to save us by fulfilling God’s Law in us and through us, to teach and train us to rightly apply His law of love in all matters of life.

So the humble in a land, those who truly love in the way God intended His Law and His Word to define love, are God’s elect, whether or not they have yet received a conscious knowledge of Jesus in their minds of flesh. God is not talking about the fake humble ones, who speak in a friendly and self-deprecating way, but arrogantly insist that they are gods who control their own destinies. For the spirits of those people set themselves above other souls and also strive to be gods of those people too, then evangelize the foolish precepts of the world order. What those falsely humble ones actually want are worldly acceptance, esteem, accolades and possessions. And they demand a financial or

Page 687

Last Days Timeline

 

personally gratifying reward for their worldly works and words, as though they have earned it or are entitled to it. But the truly humble serve others from the heart, and ultimately do all for the real God, though they may not consciously realize this in their minds of flesh. The elect expect no reward from Satan’s world order, and even fear that the world order might punish them for their love. But their spirits know they have freely received all that defines their lives, through unmerited and unearned grace. So, just as they have freely received, they freely give. They freely serve other souls and God’s creations simply through the love that is in their spirits, for God their siblings and all His creations.

Even when the truly humble do good, they still feel that they are unworthy of praise, because they know they have not yet learned to love perfectly, not yet entirely according to God’s will or entirely in His power. They honestly assess themselves, and find themselves to be sinners, still very junior disciples of our God Jesus, still unable to remain consistently loving and wise. And this assessment of themselves is based on genuine truth, on verity, on the realities of God’s physical and spiritual creations, not on the world’s lies and delusions. Still, the wicked often say these truly humble ones are arrogant when their zeal for God does not allow them to accept the lies of esteemed liars from the world order. If a worshiped human god, such as a political, religious, academic or famous leader says a lie is true, they expect everyone to agree. And not accepting those lies or liars means rejection and shame from them, with accusations of arrogance for daring to contradict their human god. But the rejection of lies and choosing to believe the real truth in spite of this, is true humility before God.

A firm stand for the truth is another proof of inner humility, since the spirits who refuse to believe lies do not seek the world’s esteem, only the approval of God—and also because, more than anything else, they desire the ability to build genuine love upon the real truth, so they can love in the same way God loves. Literally all truly humble, loving souls are God’s elect children. So God Himself keeps them humble, often by causing them to experience very humiliating circumstances. It is God who forbids Satan to grant His elect children any esteem from the world order. God does not usually allow His elect children to receive worldly wealth, power or carnal gratification, unless it is to chastise them, to teach their spirits that Satan’s world order is indeed spiritually dark, and lacking anything which can be gratifying to an elect spirit. Since the elect are His children, He keeps their physical lives simple. He focuses on teaching and training their spirits for their future eternal lives.

Returning to Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see how God told the humble to seek Him because “Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod’s people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to you inhabitants of the seascoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of [Yahweh] is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left. And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks. The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall graze, and the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For [Yahweh] their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes” (2:4-7, ESV). So, as the end times approach, those who are not humble in Gaza will be destroyed, almost as is happening now.

God prophesied the destruction of the people who were called Philistines in Zephaniah’s day, but whom we now call by the Roman version of that name, the Palestinians. This destruction was going to occur sometime before the Day of Yahweh, not too long before Jesus shall return. Yet, right now, in our day, God already has begun to fulfill this prophecy. After Israel became a nation in 1948, three of these four formerly Philistine cities, located in the lands which God originally allotted to Judah, now belong to Israel. So right now, “in the houses of Ashkelon,” Jewish families now live and “lie down at evening.” Throughout the central coastal area of Israel, where the Philistines once dwelt, there are also irrigated fields of grain, vegetables and fruits as well as pastures for livestock—despite

Page 688

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

the fact that this particular area (and all of modern Israel) had once become a virtual desolation through the abuses of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, unsuitable for any agricultural purposes. Truly God has been “mindful of” the Jews and did “restore their fortunes” now, just before the end times.

Only the Gaza Strip remains inhabited by an arrogant people who call themselves the Philistines or Palestinians. But those people want to murder and rape all who are not in their death cult, all whom they classify as “infidels.” And their victims are not only the Jews, Christians and people of other religions, but also other those belonging to other sects of Muslims. They were originally the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, but became so odious through their terrorism against other Egyptian Muslims that Egypt refuses to allow them back into their land. Many were also expelled from Jordan for the same reason, and are now hated even by other Muslims in Lebanon too, because they are so violent and arrogant, refusing to establish their own state and live in peace with others. Therefore, all who are not humble enough to repent from their lies and murdering will be destroyed in these end times, “until no inhabitant is left,” until their land “shall be pastures for shepherds and folds for flocks.”

Looking at recent events, we are seeing this prophecy begin to be fulfilled. And this also indicates that the Day of Yahweh is approaching and is very near, possibly within the next generation or two. Only two prophecies in the verses quoted above have not yet occurred: (1) God has not yet granted the city of Gaza to Israel and (2) God has not yet destroyed all of the Palestinians who refuse to humbly repent and acknowledge that Yahweh eternally granted that land to Israel. However, by the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, many inhabitants of the region surrounding Israel will convert and enter the New Covenant branch of the church of Israel, in Jesus the Messiah. We do not know when these events will occur but, from other prophecies, it appears that they will happen soon, likely before the beast’s armies invade Israel the first time. Whenever they occur, let the elect among the Palestinians—those able to humbly love in a just and God-like way, through true covenants of their spirits—flee from the Philistine lands, and repent into the genuine truth of the real Jesus, their God.

Then God went on to prophecy this about the end times: “I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted My people and made boasts against their territory. Therefore, as I live, declares [Yahweh] of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a land possessed by nettles and salt pits, a waste forever. The remnant of My people shall plunder them, and the survivors of My nation shall possess them. This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of [Yahweh] of hosts. [Yahweh] will be awesome against them; for He will famish all the gods of the earth, and to Him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations” (2:8-11, ESV).

This part of the prophecy seems strange, but it may have already occurred. Moab and Ammon were on the east side of the Dead Sea and Jordan River, and are now in parts of the nation of Jordan. The king of Jordan provided refugee camps for the Palestinians who fled there between 1948 and 1967, and most were in the region which this prophecy calls Ammon. But the Palestinian Liberation Army (PLO) insisted on carrying out terrorist activities against Israel, hijacking civilian airplanes into Jordan, and even seemed to be involved in plots to assassinate Jordan’s king, to take over the Jordanian government. So Jordan ended up having to fight a war with the PLO between September, 1970 and July, 1971. In the end, about 2,000 PLO radicals were allowed to flee from Jordan into Lebanon, where they instigated the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-1990, with about 150,000 casualties and a million people fleeing their homes. However, thousands of Palestinians remain in Jordan, some of whom have integrated with the Jordanians and become full citizens. So there is still some hope for many Palestinians to “humble” themselves and abandon the evil death cults of the Hamas and PLO.

In our day, the Palestinians and other radical Muslims thirst for the blood of all Jews in Israel and around the world. In fact, each sect of radical Muslims wants to kill or enslave literally everyone in the world, all who do not believe all that their particular sect believes. And when opinions differ among them, those in the sect will murder one another. So not even the common goal of all those radical sects, which is to “drive Israel into the sea” and occupy the land that God promised to the Jews, can possibly unite them. For hate can never unite, only divide. And God primarily used Israel to make the “desolate” land of Israel fruitful again. But the radical Muslim leaders make themselves into millionaires and give their starving people only hatred and guns. So, even if they could drive out the Jews, they would only mismanage the land into desolation again, like they did in previous times.

Those radical Muslims, who cannot even begin to wisely rule themselves, will not stop murdering innocent civilians in Israel until they can gain complete control over all the land. Then they plan to murder the next neighbor, and the next after that, until they murder the entire world, and take it all for themselves. But, of course, since they also murder one another, their murdering will not stop even if they somehow manage to murder the rest of the world. Yet they see their murdering as a work of God, as their righteousness and holiness. And, when they see how the Jews have accepted friendly Palestinians, Bedouins, Druze and other Arab Muslims as citizens and soldiers in Israel, they call this the worst of evils, and strive to murder those friendly Palestinians and Muslims even more than the Jews. Those radicals are dedicated to the genocide of all humankind, all but the other radicals who lie and murder with them. Then they will even murder their own comrades as soon as the least little unfounded suspicion arises within them, because they are never just enough to demand real evidence or fair trials for the accused. So God has truly handed them over to their hellish father, who was a liar and murderer from the beginning. And their father deludes them until he kills them.

In our day, the radical Muslims, whose founders went to Germany before and during the second World War to befriend Hitler, still lie against the Jews. They still print the infamous slander of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” which Hitler also used against the Jews, and which has been proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, to be a lie. Worse yet, some still spread a malicious lie about Israel’s Passover bread, which is made according to God’s commands. Some are still actually stupid enough to think it is made with the blood of murdered Gentile children! Aside from the fascists in America and Europe, no one is more godless, vile, evil, ignorant and deceived than these lying, murdering, raping radical Muslims in the Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis and other terrorist groups. And they do not merely act through ignorance and demonic superstition alone, but primarily through their very deep-rooted hatred of the real God. Those Muslims cannot stand the fact that the real Creator God is loving in a very just, equitable way. For they are humanists who want to be gods ruling all the earth.

Therefore, our just God will not leave them unpunished! If not in this life, then on the judgment day, they will be severely rebuked, and the vast majority will be cast into eternal hell fires. Furthermore, the most antisemitic cities and towns of Jordan will become like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. They will be permanently destroyed. Salt pits will be found there, and nothing will grow. Only the worst kinds of weeds will grow in some parts, because the soil will be good for nothing else. Those cities will become wastelands forever! Almost all the hate-filled souls in them shall die, and Israel will plunder the dead. Thus, the real God, Yahweh, the God who created Israel to be His priests until the end of time, shall indeed be terrifying against the antisemitic radical Muslims who war against Him and His children, sparing only the elect who “humble” themselves and repent from their sins.

God goes on to say that, in end times, other lands will suffer greatly as well: “You also, O Cushites [modern Ethiopia and Sudan] , shall be slain by My sword. And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria [Syria and Iraq], and he will make Nineveh [a city in ancient Iraq, now in ruins

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

across the river from the city of Mosul, but is also a large governorate or district in modern Iraq] a desolation, a dry waste like the desert. Herds shall lie down in her midst, all kinds of beasts; even the owl and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals, a voice shall hoot in the window; devastation will be on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare. This is the exultant city that lived securely, that said in their heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else.’ What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist” (Zeph. 2:12-15, ESV). Most of this devastation will be done by the beast in the end times, throughout the Middle East and north Africa.

But note how Zephaniah’s prophecy said that a “remnant of the house of Judah” (2:7), the survivors among God’s people of Israel, shall possess the seacoast. Thus, to have surviving Jews there in the end times, there must be very many Jews there before the end times begin. So those who say that the current Israel is not according to biblical prophecies are all wrong. And, in all the other lands of this prophecy, where devastation occurs, there will be elect survivors who shall worship Jesus as well. The same will be true in all the nations throughout the entire world. All the earth will experience much devastation and death, material perceptions crushing the delusions of spirits who want to be gods, sending those reprobate spirits to sleep in heaven’s “skies” until their day of final judgment.

Daniel prophesied that the last and greatest Roman beast will conquer Israel and the Middle East, but will not touch Jordan. Jordan (Edom, Moab, Ammon) will be delivered out of the beast’s hand (Dan. 11:41). From this we might conclude that either Israel will conquer Jordan, or Jordan will become allies with the beast. But it seems unlikely that Jordan will join the beast. So it more probable that the beast will not bother to conquer Jordan because there will only be a remnant of converted Jordanians, living in a wasteland, before the beast comes to invade the Middle East at the beginning of his seven-year reign. For it seems logical that the beast would not bother to attack Jordan, while he aggressively attacks and conquers all the other nations in that region, if Israel already destroyed Jordan not too long before he arrived, if Jordan was still impoverished and underpopulated, if it had not even recovered from a war with Israel. Yet, if Israel’s surviving “remnant” will conquer Jordan, we might also conclude that Israel will engage in a very severe war in the Middle East. And many Scriptures prophesied that the Middle East will experience devastating wars before the beast’s first attack against them, wars that leave only a remnant in Israel and nearby lands, one out of seven men.

These wars must occur shortly before the Middle Eastern and African nations convert to Christianity. For, after the prophesied conversion of these lands to Christianity, several events will occur that will make the beast grow angry with them. All those converted nations will become allies of Israel, the third temple shall be constructed in Jerusalem, and a highway will be built between Egypt and Assyria (Iraq/Syria). So those wars will likely begin before the sixth seal’s era, and their conversion will likely occur during the sixth seal’s era, long before the beast’s reign begins. So, for some reason, Israel may conquer Jordan soon, or early in the seventh seal’s era at the latest. Or Jordan, Egypt, Assyria and other lands in the region may have already completed their prophesied warfare with Israel, and may convert to Christianity soon, during the sixth seal’s era, to become allies of Israel.

Lastly, notice the world-wide scope of this prophecy. Here it declares that God “will emaciate all the powerful people of the earth, and to Him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations” (Zeph. 2:11b). Some say this is hyperbole, simply used to emphasize the great acts of God in a local event. However, both the local and global contexts force us to conclude that this is a literal statement about what God will do throughout the earth, and its world-wide scope is backed up by many other prophecies in the Scriptures. So none can honestly interpret it otherwise. For consider how this entire prophecy is about the Day of Yahweh, and many other prophecies about this day also declare that literally all the world will bow their knees before Jesus on that day. In light of this, we

Page 691

Last Days Timeline

 

cannot avoid the plain meaning of this text. We must take it literally. Zephaniah was a Jew in Judah, and naturally sought information from God about his local surroundings above all. For he possessed little or no knowledge of other parts of the world. And this is also why God did not show him too much information about other parts of the world. Yet these words from God were about all the earth.

God will indeed remove all power (“emaciate”), will nullify the strength and influence of all whom Satan’s world order has currently granted decision-making authority. This means the world-wide economic, political, military and communication systems will collapse. Then whole Gentile nations shall bend their knees in reverence and fear before the Jewish Messiah, Jesus. And this will occur at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era, when the world-wide earthquakes shake the nations and meteors strike at the infrastructures which enable human powers on earth. After that power is crushed, God will seal the hearts of His elect, will teach and train them to lovingly serve His creations on earth.

Cush was likely one of the furthest nations known to Zephaniah south of his homeland, and Assyria was likely one of the furthest lands known to him north of Judah. And Nineveh was one of the largest cities known to him. It stretched out for almost 50 kilometers (30 miles) on the east side of the Tigris river, and represented what would happen to all the large, powerful cities of the world. It was so heavily fortified and massive that they thought themselves to be unconquerable and that they would surely exist forever. Thus, the lords of Nineveh thought only of themselves, their own pleasures and needs. The city told herself, “I am, and there is no one else,” and she though she could be as cruel and unjust as she desired, without paying any consequences for her sins. But Nineveh was wrong, and so are all the other cities where lords pamper themselves, confident that their lies to themselves will deliver them from God’s wrath. All major cities will fall and become wastelands.

None but our just and loving God can make the claim, “I AM, and there is no one else.” Those wanna-be gods cannot. And the real God does not make this claim selfishly, nor arrogantly in delusions, as they do. Rather, the Spirit of the Creator God claims this as a statement of fact, while using His power through His love for His creations. When Nineveh made herself into her own god, she thought she could exploit or kill whomever she desired with impunity. But, in about 612 BC, about 15 years after Zephaniah gave this prophecy, a rebellion of Babylon, which was joined by the Medes and other allies, utterly destroyed Nineveh. And to this day, that unconquerable Nineveh has been lying in ruins, as a warning from God against all the great cities of today, before the end times.

 

That wicked, selfish city of Nineveh was previously warned by God’s prophet, Jonah, to repent and save herself. And she did repent for a time, but soon fell back into her old, arrogant, wicked ways again. So God kept His promise and destroyed her, to illustrate how He will crush the ruthless and self-serving pride of wanna-be gods, and how He will humble all mankind in the end times. God gave His servant, Zephaniah, this prophecy just prior to Nineveh’s imminent destruction, but primarily because most people in Nineveh at that time were like many nations in the world today, since they now think they are gods, and somehow believe it is impossible for them to be destroyed. But, in the end times, many cities will instantly collapse into ruins. Then the beast and his followers will rebuild their cities, believing they are so powerful that they can never be destroyed. They will become so arrogant that they will believe they are gods ruling over their own destinies, and boast incessantly against Yahweh, the God of Israel. For the beast is the Satanic messiah and final king of the very same Babylon that destroyed Nineveh in 612 BC. Yet the beast will be tossed alive, like a piece of garbage, into hell, together with his father, Satan and all the other demons he worshiped,

including Mammon. Then all who worshiped that beast as their savior will perish and soon follow him into hell. And the beast’s entire kingdom will be like the city of Nineveh, a virtual wasteland.

In the third and last chapter of Zephaniah’s prophecy is about the state of the church and Israel both during and after the end times, and about the city of Jerusalem: “Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city! She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in [Yahweh]; she does not draw near to her God. Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till morning. Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the Law” (3:1-4, ESV). This not only describes the Jews in Jerusalem, Israel and around the world, who are all Roman humanists, but also all the false churches who claim to be “Christian,” but are actually “rebellious and defiled” humanists as well.

First, God makes the accusation of “oppressing.” He said the false church of Israel, all those who falsely claim to serve in His name, force the people to submit to their demands. And surely both the religious Jews and those falsely claiming to be “Christians” do actually oppress their own members and others. For they invent self-serving laws, rules, traditions and values which they impose upon their members. Then they try to force entire societies to obey them, if they can gain political power and establish theocracies ruled by the human gods ruling over their own artificially developed class systems. Yet the real God condemned and forbade theocracies of men, the headship of men, as well as their hierarchies and invented moral precepts which either corrupt or nullify God’s truly just laws.

Then God declares that the church “listens to no voice.” The false church in the end times will only listen to her own voice, but no one else, not even to the voice of God. She does not value the truth or the realities God created, and will not accept correction from God’s Word, even if God came to the earth in a human body to teach them or spoke audibly from heaven. For our churches have no real faith in God. She “does not trust in Yahweh,” while she claims to worship God, like the hypocritical church of Israel in the days of Zephaniah did. And the false churches today never draw near to the real God, since they would rather flee from the real God. Zephaniah describes all this as a rebellion against God, and as the defilement of the whole church of Israel. She is the opposite of a true church.

So the solution for this starts with His elect. First, their spirits need to “draw near to [their] God,” so His Holy Spirit might teach and train their spirits to love in wiser, more just and equitable ways, so they will be able to judge rightly based on genuine truths, on proven realities. Then they will learn to “trust in Yahweh” and in His words. Once they do this, they will be able to choose multiple elders to make decisions on their behalf. And they will choose them based on the good fruits of their lives, yet will also put checks and balances in place, so they might be corrected when necessary, and accept that correction. If any elder “listens to no voice” and “accepts no correction” based on real evidence and truth, then that one must be stripped of all authority. For we cannot have “oppressing” elders who define their own truths and rule according to their own lies. Rather, God must rule the people who love His created truths and realities, and those people must rule the authorities who serve them.

God shall soon use the hands of other humanists to destroy the fake churches. Through the betrayal of the Roman beast, the Great Prostitute will burn, with her harlot daughters in her. However, before that, God will make His true church visible once again, during the era of the sixth seal. And He will purify her even more than He did in the days of His apostles. So, before the beast arises, the light of this true church will expose the false churches of our day, and they will be seen for what they truly are. The Great Prostitute of Babylon and her harlot daughters fornicated with the exploiting human gods and demons of humanistic hierarchies throughout history. So God will justly destroy her before the eyes of all the earth, by the commands of the final king of Babylon, the beast. Then all will know

that Yahweh God is not the god of the false churches. Many accused our God, Yahweh, of being unjust because of what false churches taught and did. They accused God of causing their sins. And, God did allow them to lie and do evil, to illustrate how His words must not be corrupted or nullified by vain men. But once every detail of that illustration is completed by the hands of those fakes, God will send those illustrators home to hell. And, when Yahweh returns to this earth, only His elect will remain upon it, with His true priesthood ministering those hard-earned lessons to all of His children.

To the city of Jerusalem, with His world-wide church gathered around her and her temple, God states: “[Yahweh] within her is righteous; He does no injustice; every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate without a man, without an inhabitant. I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me; you will accept correction. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.’ But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt. Therefore wait for Me, declares [Yahweh], for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For My declaration is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation, all My burning anger; for in the fire of My jealousy all the earth shall be consumed” (Zeph. 3:5-8, ESV). Though the churches are false and unrighteous, God remains righteous, and will destroy the unrepentant in the churches.

But notice, although this warning is for the false churches gathered around God’s presence in the city of Jerusalem, the scope of God’s wrath against them is international, involving all the peoples of the world. For God is the God of all existence, and His church of Israel is the priesthood He created to serve all the earth, to teach His truths to everyone and to do His works for all people everywhere, as well as for all His other living creations on this planet. So, as God “cut off” evil Gentile nations in Israel’s presence, utterly destroying them for their lies and sins, God expected His church to see it and fear Him, to “accept correction” for the lies and unjust ways they adopted from those Gentiles. But the narcissistic church did not repent, for “the unjust knows no shame.” And “all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt.” So God told those false churches, “wait for Me.” For God had appointed a day when He would “rise up to seize the prey,” when He would not only destroy those false churches, but all the unjust and unrepentant souls in all the nations and all the despotic kingdoms on the earth. By the day that Jesus returns, “all the earth shall be consumed.”

Yet a remnant shall remain on the earth after God consumes it, and these sole survivors will be the awakened elect. So, after that “day” of Yahweh returning to Jerusalem in the body of the risen Jesus, God promised this: “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples, to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of [Yahweh] and serve Him with one accord. From beyond the rivers of Cush [i.e., in all the territories of Africa not known to Jews in Zephaniah’s time] My worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, shall bring My offering. On that day you shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; for then I will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, and you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain. But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of [Yahweh], those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid” (Zeph. 3:9-13, ESV). After the “day” of Jesus’ second advent, all “the peoples” surviving on the earth will be purified in how they think and talk, forgiven and redeemed from all their sinful ways.

Once the elect remnant on earth have been cleansed in heart and mind, all will “serve Him with one accord,” as with one mind and one purpose. For all will “call upon the name of Yahweh,” and pray for the guidance and counsel of His Holy Spirit, with our God Jesus as their only King and High

Priest. But why, among all the peoples on the earth, does God only mention the people of Africa, those “from beyond the rivers of Cush”? And why does God collectively call those people “the daughter of My dispersed ones”? Well, first of all, who are God’s “dispersed ones”? Is He referring to the Diaspora of the Jews or to all the elect dwelling on the earth? Well, considering the context of all nations and kingdoms outside of Israel in the previous verses, those “dispersed ones” (Hebrew = puwts, “dispersed or scattered”), who are all worshipers of God, must be a reference to all the elect Gentiles scattered throughout the earth. Now, long before Jesus returns, Egypt will already be a Christian nation, according to other prophecies. So Cush (Sudan and Ethiopia) will likely worship Jesus by then as well, since the Bible has always associated Cush with Egypt, that is, all the lands of the Nile River to its source. Thus, here God was saying that the rest of Africa, all that is beyond Cush, will also worship Jesus before the day that Jesus returns as well. And God called Africa “the daughter of My dispersed ones” because Adam and Eve, as well as their first descendants, the first elect children of God, dwelt in Africa. Thus, the people who remained in Africa are the “daughters” of those original elect people. It was only after the flood that God scattered His elect throughout the entire earth, and all the flesh of the elect on earth descended from those first people living in Africa.

Yet God also declared that all those scattered elect had done “deeds by which you have rebelled against Me.” So all were lying sinners. Nevertheless, God would forgive those elect, all who later repented to Him, and promised that they “shall not be put to shame.” For our God Jesus “will remove from [their] midst [their] proudly exultant ones, and [they] shall no longer be haughty in [His] holy mountain,” in the temple grounds of Jerusalem. Since the beginning, the elect were led astray by “proudly exultant ones,” especially by charming psychopaths who corrupted God’s truths and told lies which made their dupes “haughty.” But never have those “proudly exultant ones” been as effective in their efforts to enslave the elect in sins as the fake elders and priests who practiced the devil’s religion of humanism, who made themselves into the gods of the people and set themselves at the tops of their hierarchical class systems. So God will “remove” those humanistic “leaders” from the midst of His elect. He will kill all who do not repent. Then His elect will learn to be “humble and lowly.” All will become equal servants of God, all laboring together for the good of His people and His creations, to “serve Him with one accord” through their spirits’ love for Him and for His people.

Then, after the King of all the earth takes His throne in Jerusalem, after the eternal High Priest is teaching in God’s temple, after Jesus returns, all the elect on earth shall “take refuge in the name of Yahweh,” and look to Him for counsel. Many will also visit Him in Jerusalem, coming with their sacrificial offerings in their hands. And some will even permanently remain in Israel, to seek His guidance for their nations. Then “those who are left in Israel,” the elect remnant of the Jews, will be hosts providing counsel and care for those Gentiles, just as the Levitical priesthood served as the hosts for all the other Israelites, and for the “strangers” or immigrants who entered God’s promised land. The remnant of Israel will be the tithe of priests who personally serve our God Jesus, who will be His mouth and hands in their land. And “they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue.” They will no longer be humanists, but will serve our God Jesus through a pure, righteous, just and God-like kind of love, in humility and with grace.

Now let every elect soul know that our Father in heaven will continue to teach or rebuke the spirits of His elect children, as He has done continuously since He formed Adam from the soil of Eden. If the real God ever left any land—as the false churches and secular humanists so eagerly want Him to do, because they hate Him and want to be the only gods ruling over their own lives and their own lands—then all life in their lands would instantly perish. God would remove all His living creations as He removed Himself, for all life depends upon Him. He only would leave behind His inanimate

creations, which His power maintains apart from His personal will that maintains all perceptions of life on earth. No life would remain if He withdrew His personal “interfering” presence from them. And He would first take all His elect with Him, into other lands, leaving absolutely nothing behind for Satan and the spirits born of Satan to rule over. They would not even keep their own bodies of flesh, if God removed His presence from them. And, even if God only removed His elect from their lands, they would still perish, since the elect are the only ones able to keep any land alive, the only ones whom God maintains and causes to bear the good fruit required to maintain all human lives.

The only home of the non-elect, and the ultimate consequence of all their inner desires, is a totally dark vacuum called hell. Since their spirits would even covet and war over a single grain of sand that God’s power created and maintained, the non-elect need to live in a place where absolutely nothing from God exists. Non-elect demonic and human spirits require a home that is an eternal spiritual place, but without any of God’s created material or spiritual space, time or energy, where only their wicked spirits and their dark delusions can dwell, an infinitely tiny place with infinite capacity to hold them all, a blank spiritual thought in the mind of God. In other words, the only place that all the non-elect can comfortably dwell in is the genuine spiritual hell that they all shall soon be cast into.

Hell is what the most prominent humanistic “leaders” of the false church will be granted in the end, because they love the darkness of their lies and delusions instead of God’s light of truth and reality. They love their invented gods, especially themselves and other human gods, but hate the real God. Thus, God will soon grant them what they love, and only what they love, which means they will need to dwell in hell. But, for now, their perceptions of the material universe remain in the minds of their spirits. So the real Yahweh God remains everywhere within their perceptions, since God is the one and only cause of those perceptions, which were all designed to expose the desires of those non-elect spirits before the eyes of all God’s elect children, so His elect spirits might learn to love Him and His ways. Thus, despite all the efforts of the wicked church and secular humanists to expunge God from their lands and their lives, it is not possible. It cannot be done, and they will never find a place where God does not interfere with their evil intentions, not until God eliminates the universe and casts them into hell. Consequently, all the works of the non-elect are done as illustrations that teach the elect to love God and His ways more. But those non-elect labor for their own destruction.

Although God’s elect are now abandoning the false churches to truly worship the real God in their spirits and in truth, or are being cast out of false churches because their spirits worship the real God in truth, they are blessed, and will be more blessed when true churches form during the sixth seal’s era. For their heavenly Father has not cast them out, and Jesus is teaching their spirits for their eternal salvation. These elect can be found in every land, although most do not yet call themselves Christians or even know that they are worshiping Jesus. Nevertheless, God’s potential true church is being formed now, in this current era of the fifth seal, though most remain invisible to the world, even invisible to the false church. As for the false churches and secular humanists, not one of their most prominent human gods feel any shame for their lies and unjust deeds. So none will repent with godly sorrow into the truth. Instead, those non-elect deny any wrongdoing, then justify their foolish, hurtful, destructive words and actions, in an attempt to maintain their fake self-esteem and pride, and cling to their wealth and power gained through their lies and sins. Yet they do so for nothing, all for a brief perception of earthly life that soon evaporates, with eternal damnation for their eternal spirits.

The real God will inevitably remove all earthly perceptions, leaving our spirits to face judgment. Then each spirit will know whether it is worthy of His redeeming teachings to perfect it for joyful heavenly works, or not trustworthy enough to serve Him, so it will be abandoned to forever seek self-gratification in vain, while eternally falling through hell’s darkness. Then all the humanistic fake

Page 696

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

preachers, priests and rabbis will answer for their exploitative stewardship which God witnessed, for ruthlessly trampling their own siblings in the family of humankind to gain flesh-gratifying pleasures and esteem, which were not lawfully theirs. But before the earth ends, Jesus, our God Yahweh, will also take the earth for Himself, and destroy them. Then God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven, and our testimony will always be: “Every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail.” But only the awakened elect will remain on the earth then, those being conformed into His image and becoming righteous in love, hating all injustice. Only these will live with Him.

Again we see the world-wide scope of this Day of Yahweh. It will be a day when God will “cut off nations,” when cities throughout the earth will be utterly devastated and some will be left without a single inhabitant. When the elect see the plagues of the sixth and seventh trumpets begin, let them fear God. Let them accept His stern correction, His painful blows against their flesh for the sakes of their spirits. Then their lives on earth and in heaven will not be cut off in the way He has appointed for the unrepentant. And let them wait for their God, Jesus, to return to the earth with His loving justice and healing of all His people and of all earthly life. Right now, and throughout history, we have seen the utter corruption of the church, every governing body and even the physical planet. But we have also seen Jesus working in the hearts of many souls, teaching them to love in a wise, just and sacrificial way. And God is patient. God will not consume the earth in the fire of His zeal until the appointed time. He will not act before He makes His children ready, separate from the non-elect.

Jesus gave many words of wise counsel to all men, along with many signs of His approval from our heavenly Father, as He manifested His disapproval of the false church. Then, repeatedly throughout history, God has illustrated how lies and sins cause harm and death, and how all His ways, all He created to be immutable truths and loving righteousness, maintains life, even abundant life. Yet men ignore His words and life lessons, so they might pursue destructive lies and sins, always hoping to gain personal wealth and power for their short and ugly lives, even at the expense of other lives. All the false churches and secular humanists refuse to “accept correction” from their Creator or from the honest servants He sends. Therefore, God will soon allow their Satanic messiah to come to them, “to gather the nations, to assemble kingdoms” against Him and against His priesthood of Israel. Soon He will call them to Armageddon, for their slaughter. Then all who do not repent and do not accept their Maker’s correction will perish too. All will see God “pour out upon them His indignation” with “all His burning anger.” His fire will consume them all, in Armageddon and also throughout the world.

After perceptions of earthly bodies die, the wanna-be human gods will have nothing they can call their own for all eternity in hell, except the lies and delusions they created for themselves. Only the elect, who call nothing their own except their love for the Creator and His creation, who built that love on a foundation of His truths and realities, will be granted a shared inheritance of their heavenly father’s creations, first for a millennium on earth, then for eternity in heaven. And their inherited home in heaven is where the real realities exist, so heaven is where love is built on stronger truths.

On the Day of Yahweh, when Jesus returns, He will “change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of Yahweh and serve Him with one accord.” So this “speech” is not a language, but a purer expression of thoughts from the minds of our spirits and flesh in our souls. We will be taught and trained to see the spiritual and physical realities God created on this earth, to recognize all He wrote in those creations, about both good and evil. Then we all will be able to “call upon” God’s name with pure hearts, so we might be heard by Him. And once we truly know Him and His ways, we will also be able to “serve Him with one accord,” as one people with one mind for one purpose. Thus, there will be no conflicts or wars on the earth among all His elect.

Our God Jesus will do this. In our day, humanistic churches preach that each person must change oneself, must put a new spirit within one’s own flesh through the “power” of one’s own “free will.” But that is impossible. All that any human being can do is become what God created one to become, according to the innate attributes created in one’s spirit and flesh. We must have faith in God to be the kinds of people whose “speech” is pure enough to “call” on the name of our God and to “serve Him with one accord.” Faith in God, a trust that His Holy Spirit will teach and train one’s own spirit to become pure and able to serve through God-like, pure, just love, is what we need. And we do not need faith in ourselves to save ourselves, nor faith in any false priest, pastor or lying prophet. There never was and never can be a faith in magic sacraments or sinner’s prayer which can save anyone, since these are all worked by the flesh of men, supposedly to manipulate God into accepting us, and God cannot ever be manipulated. Only God can change the way we think and talk and do His works.

Even now, after our God Jesus sacrificed His body on the cross and rose from the dead, our spirits can be purified enough to effectively call upon the name of Yahweh and do His works on earth through His loving grace, so we might serve Him with one accord. For this is exactly what the apostles and their churches did in the first century, before humanistic corruptions destroyed those people and their churches. Thus, this purity is also possible now, if the minds of our spirits and the minds of our flesh are purged from all humanistic corruptions, if we humble ourselves and admit we are not human gods and possess no control over our own earthly and eternal destinies. Theoretically, doing this should be easy, since humanists have a thousand different man-made gods who teach a thousand different and contradicting doctrines which do nothing for anyone. But, practically, this is difficult, since humanists have forcefully inundated our entire lives with their lies and delusions, so it has now become virtually impossible to think a single thought without their incessant interference.

For centuries, Roman humanists, the leaders of churches and secular kingdoms, have esteemed themselves over all the others in humanistic hierarchies with artificially defined class systems, have declared themselves to be human gods. Then, as gods, they invented false doctrines, laws and rules that all the others were forced to obey, and refused to be corrected by God and God’s words. Not one of them has ever served God humbly. Not one has sought God to find out what He wants them to do or what He wants His people to do. Not one has even tried to do his appointed tasks according to the will and fulfilled laws of God. But Yahweh Jesus predestined a day when He Himself “will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones,” all the humanistic church and secular leaders who made themselves into gods to rule over other souls, all who invented their own false laws and truths.

On the day Jesus returns, only the elect will be left on earth. Then Jesus will teach and train them to know and practice His just, loving ways, and they will soon forget all the lies and delusions of all the Roman humanists. Thus, Jesus will brighten the way His awakened elect think and talk, so they no longer will serve themselves or any human gods as idolaters, but will rightly, diligently, effectively and wisely serve Him and His creations instead. They will call upon Yahweh Jesus for all needs and before they do any works in His name, so they will do all things according to His loving will and His just commands which He will teach to their spirits in their hearts. And, since they will all do all things according to His will, all will be of one mind and one will, bearing all the works of the Lord together, shoulder to shoulder, in a perfectly coherent communion. Then none shall be in want and all shall find an abundant life filled with inner joy, a destiny of loving and being loved in His will.

These surviving elect will even receive enough to make generous offerings to Jesus in Jerusalem whenever they please, and feast together with their Jewish brothers and sisters in a fruitful land of Israel. And these seasons of sacrifice and feasting will bring all the world into a close and satisfying fellowship. These feasts will grow even more abundant life in the minds of their spirits. As for the

Page 698

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

past sins of the elect, all shall be forgiven, and they will no longer be led astray by false teachers of false churches. For Jesus Christ has already completed all the works required to purchase their forgiveness and the atonement of their relationship with Him in the first century. The cross has been torn down, and the tomb has been emptied of dead flesh. Jesus lives and has fully earned a restored relationship of literally all the elect with their God. God has declared to them: “you shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against Me.” And every sacrifice on each feast day throughout the millennium will remind them of this great reconcilition from their Messiah.

Though all the elect on earth have fought against the words of God through through their humanistic churches and the influence of secular humanists, God will no longer remember that rebellion, will no longer think about those transgressions. For all the elect survivors will repent from those lies and sins, and none will repeat them while they remain under the counsel and care of our God Jesus. And all the false teachers who led the elect into those lies and sins, into the empty pride of humanism, will be gone. Jesus “will remove from [our] midst [our] proudly exultant ones,” all the humanists who demanded attention and esteem as though they were gods. So His elect will “no longer be haughty,” certainly not in Jerusalem and in His temple, on His ‘holy mountain,’ nor in any church.

Once Jesus returns, His elect will know that they are merely infantile spirits dwelling in or caused to perceive their amoral and temporary bodies and brains of flesh, utterly dependent upon God and upon one another for all their needs in both their spiritual and physical lives. Then all will “take refuge” in “name” of God, in Yahweh Jesus, by trusting only in His will, love and power. The elect will no longer place their faith in their own names, nor in the names of men. At last, all humanistic doctrines from the past three millenniums will be purged from our lives, so we can become “humble and lowly’”before our God and before our siblings in the family of humankind, able to build love on genuine truths and realities, able to express that love with truly just works. Those who go up to our Lord Jesus in Jerusalem, into the presence of Yahweh, “shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue.” For the Holy Spirit of Jesus will know their thoughts before they think them, and will judge those thoughts before they think them. So He will nullify every kind of unjust thought and rebuke every lie, before a lie or sin has a chance to begin. When His loving justice rules all the earth through His teaching and training of elect spirits, we will never again have any reason to fear crimes or wars, since His power will eliminate all evil thoughts.

And now look at how God commanded Zephaniah to speak about distant places, which he only heard about but did not know, about places beyond Cush, representing all the unknown world. So this prophecy indicated that God would have worshipers in those far-off and unknown places, after the Day of Yahweh had arrived. Thus, they must have begun to worship Him before then, in Africa and other far-off places unknown to Zephaniah. This alludes to the prophecy of Jesus, that the real Gospel would be preached in all the world before He returned. And, because the real Gospel can only be preached in the whole world after it is unveiled again before the sixth seal’s revival, this suggests that the real God will become known soon, during this current era of the fifth seal. This prophecy of Zephaniah hints a world-wide revival occurring sometime before the Day of Yahweh arrives and, therefore, the preaching of the true Gospel before that revival. That is, it is suggesting what John called the “sealing” of God’s “servants,” the elect, during the era of the sixth seal, where this “sealing” is God taking ownership of their lives, causing His Spirit to teach and to guide them.

Then also notice how Zephaniah tells “Israel” to “sing aloud” and “shout” (3:14). He now uses the word “Israel” here, instead of “Judah.” Then God tells Israel, “I will bring you in” and “gather you together,” to make Israel “renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth” (3:20). For He is indicating that this part of the prophecy applies to all the descendants of Jacob in all time, all who

Page 699

Last Days Timeline

 

are scattered around the world. As He ends this prophecy, He is not just talking about those who were living in Judah during Zephaniah’s lifetime—although Judah was all that was left of Israel when Zephaniah wrote it (about 630 to 625 BC). When Jesus returns on the Day of Yahweh, He will forgive all the sins of all the elect in the world, and all who ever died on earth. And this includes all the elect descendants of Jacob, all of the elect in Israel. No longer will Israel know the wrath of God, although He will still discipline the sins of the elect who remain in bodies of flesh upon the earth after He returns, since none will be perfected until the judgment day, when their earthly flesh is exchanged for a spiritual body. All the surviving elect Jews on earth will be brought back to the land of Israel after Jesus returns, and all will serve as a priesthood to the priesthood of the Gentile elect.

This is a direct rebuke against the false doctrines of the replacement theology taught in the Roman Catholic church and in many of her Protestant daughter churches, who all teach the doctrines of Roman humanism. Those false churches believe the vindictive teachings of Roman justice, that all justice is about revenge, not about restoring what has been harmed through lies and sins, as God’s Law and Jesus taught. Then they also believe that children should be punished for the sins of their parents and ancestors, which God’s Law forbids. In fact, they somehow believe that all humans are cursed because of the “original sin” of Adam, which is a stupid lie. So all those false churches also think God has forever cursed all the Jews for what a few of their forefathers did to Jesus, and that God has abandoned all of the Jews forever, that the Jews are no longer God’s people, His church.

As a result of all this ridiculous and unbiblical thinking, those false churches conclude that only their Gentile churches are God’s true churches today, even though all have committed the same sins that the Old Covenant church of Israel did, or even worse sins. And the Roman Catholics also claim that they are the only true church that remains, because they violently oppressed the innocent who told the truth about God, even by torturing and murdering them, thinking this Roman vengeance was the work of God. But God’s only true church is the church of Israel which He created through Abraham in about the 19th century BC. Therefore, if a Gentile is not brought into this church of Israel, which God established once and for all time through Abraham, then that Gentile is not a member of God’s true church at all, especially if that Gentile bitterly curses and rejects the church of Israel through the humanistic Roman doctrines of replacement theology. For God is not the vengeful god of humanists.

Furthermore, Jesus will destroy all Israel’s enemies, including those in the false churches who teach any form of replacement theology. Jesus will remove all the non-elect from Israel and from the entire earth, all the deceivers, thieves, murderers and idolaters who have caused so much harm and so many deadly troubles for Israel and literally all God’s creations. The very last of those unrepentant and hate-filled non-elect will perish on the same day, on the day of Jesus’ second advent. Yahweh Jesus will take His throne as the King of the priesthood of Israel and over the whole earth, living among the Jews in a body of flesh. For what else can it mean when Zephaniah’s prophecy says, “the King of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst”? Yahweh is a Spirit and has always been in the midst of His elect. But Yahweh’s Spirit also dwelt in a body of human flesh and took the name of Jesus. And this body is the only way that Yahweh can exist as the King of humans and sit in the midst of them.

Also, every apostle and every prophet has always recognized that Yahweh is the only real King of Israel, the only Head of every individual man in His one and only church, and the King of all secular kings in the whole world, where each and every secular ruler is duty-bound to serve God according to God’s will. Now, what else can anyone possibly conclude by this statement, except that Yahweh will come in a body of human flesh to Israel, to serve as their King in their midst? Since it states that, after the Day of Yahweh, Yahweh will be Israel’s King in the midst of His people, it indicates a change. Thus, it cannot be saying Yahweh will remain as He is, as a Spirit ruling as the King of

Page 700

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Israel. For that is always how He ruled all lands in all time. If that is what this statement meant, it would not indicate any change at all. Since, Yahweh is already a Spirit who rules as Israel’s King in her midst, this statement must means that, after the Day of Yahweh, things will change. Yahweh will then dwell among His people of Israel in a body of flesh, like their bodies of flesh, to serve as their King in their midst. This prophesied that the future Messiah, the man Jesus, will be God and King.

The last verses in Zephaniah’s prophecy are clearly describing the millennium which was prophesied by John in the Revelation—a time of peace, safety, joy and God’s love. It once more alludes to Yahweh God, Jesus, in the midst of Zion, and all Israel loudly singing about His works before His throne in Jerusalem. After Jesus destroys all the wicked on the earth, none of the false churches will remain with Him during the millennium. None of the so-called “Christians” who go to a church to hear motivational speakers and to gratify social needs through worldly church programs will remain on the earth. The masses of superficially friendly people in those worldly “Christian” organizations may say, “I know my church is not perfect, and totally ignores God’s Word, but I forgive them, since I am the highest god of myself, and able to forgive all sins against God, as well as all sins against all people and all God’s creations, even though the sinners I forgive have never show even the slightest inclination to repent into the real truths revealed by God.” But those fakes are lying to themselves, since they are not gods, and the real God does not forgive unrepentant, deliberate liars and sinners.

Who are these forgivers who judge sinners in this way, without first consulting the one and only true Judge of all human beings, who try to free those whom God has bound in their sins, even as they bind those whom God has truly forgiven in fictitious sins they did not commit? Who are they to say they can forgive others in their own names? For only those whom God forgives in His own name can ever be truly forgiven! Who are they to say that God does not have a say in the judgment of sinners? It is Satan who lures those souls into lies, delusions and sins, who causes them to silence the elect human spirits who serve God and speak the truths they refuse to hear, who enslaves them and feeds them delusions, who makes them chase after the wind in a futile, empty, destructive existence, who preaches a false religion which pursues lusts, greed, selfish ambitions, emotional highs, pride, false self-justification for sins and all that is opposed to God’s truths, realities and verities God created.

The real God leads souls into truths, realities and verities, training each of their elect spirits to pursue one’s own pure, humble, modest, just, wise and loving destiny. The whole reason God created our temporary lives upon the earth was to accomplish this teaching and training of our spirits. This is why Jesus, before the millennium begins, will remove all the wicked—all whom He handed over to Satan and cast into Satan’s delusions. He will destroy them all because their non-elect spirits did not love the truth, and could never love at all. They are the kind who are drawn into the lying religion of the demonic beast, the Roman humanists who worship themselves as their own highest gods. And it is these who will “suffer reproach,” who will bear the burden of disgrace and rebuke for their lying and deluded souls on the judgment day, and forever after that. For now, those humanists reproach and marginalize the honest elect, and their false churches persecute or even kill them. But our Father in heaven grants the elect the truths they need to answer those liars and judge them in His just ways.

And God Himself will complete that judgment on the day Jesus returns. Remember how Ezekiel told us that God said: “Bring near the executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.... Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.... Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at My sanctuary” (Ezek. 9:1,4-5, ESV). On the day our God Jesus judges the world, He will see all hearts,

Page 701

Last Days Timeline

 

marking the spirits of those who truly love in a just, righteous, pure way, who are also those “who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed.” He will mark only those, and no others. But He will slaughter all the rest, all who were not concerned about God’s teachings of truth, all who did not think it was important to follow His ways for the good of all, all who sought carnal pleasures and worldly success without bothering to ever strive and pray against the destructive evils of Satan’s false churches, and against all the lying, exploiting wanna-be gods in Satan’s world order.

And make no mistake, God will begin by destroying the worst of all sinners, the most destructive of all Satan’s children, all the liars in all the false churches, all those who willfully slander His name by teaching false doctrines about Him and His ways. For the light of the world is God’s true church, which those liars suppressed, then replaced with their false churches. The only hope that the people of the earth possess, the only way God’s just and beneficial ways can be disseminated in their lands, the only ones who are able to teach secular rulers how to make just laws and how to judge rightly in their courts, are the awakened elect of God’s true church. Therefore, once the true church was gone, the hope for justice and peace was also gone. Since all those false churches were formed by lying men and by demons, not by Jesus, and since they destroyed the true church, they will be destroyed first, and by the hands of the head of Babylon, by the Roman beast. Just days before Jesus slaughters the kingdom of the beast, He will cause the beast to burn the false church of the Great Prostitute, and all her harlot daughter churches will die with her. For the lies and sins of those false churches have directly and indirectly caused so much deadly evil on the earth that it makes the beast look innocent.

All true churches are directly created by Jesus, by Him alone, so that Jesus remains the only Head of every man, and no man can be the head over any other man. But in the Great Prostitute and all her humanistic harlot daughter churches, a man is always the head of other men in hierarchies that exalt one over another, and Jesus is never allowed to be the Head of any man among them. But the elect who serve Jesus can still hide among the secular humanists in many lands. Thus, secular humanists are not quite as bad as those humanistic false churches. So Jesus will begin the execution of all the wicked upon the earth by first killing the fake Jews and fake Christians. He will begin with the worst of the false churches, with the Great Prostitute of Babylon. Then He will destroy all her daughter churches, including the humanistic Jewish synagogues. Surely our God, Yahweh Jesus, will deal with the oppressors of His people; first with the slanderous false churches, then with secular sinners.

But all who are vexed by the lies and sins of false churches, who grieve over their utter corruption, will be spared, so they may live with Jesus. Jesus will uplift souls who are suppressed, marginalized and ostracized by the false churches. He “will save the lame and gather the outcast,” so He might “change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth” (Zeph. 3:19). And this is God’s promise to all the elect on earth, including all the elect Jews. And to the loving descendants of Jacob God also declared: “I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes” (3:20). False churches hated the Jews, mostly because the Jews knew God’s Law, which Jesus came to fulfill, and the false churches did not want their dupes to know that Law. But, when Jesus returns, the millenniums of reproach, primarily instigated by false churches, will end. The Jews will finally know their Messiah, whom they weep for at every Passover meal, and love Him. And all the elect of the earth, all who vexed over lies and sins, will also rejoice with Israel on the day that Jesus returns.

These prophecies through Joel and Zephaniah provided a brief overview of the end times, of the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. Then more details were added by other prophets and by the apostles, which enhanced and confirmed all that Joel and Zephaniah declared through the revelations of God. Many prophecies in the Old and New Covenant Scriptures provide additional details about all these

Page 702

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

events, and we cannot truly comprehend Joel and Zephaniah without them. Then the book called the Revelation arranges all these events in order, even numbering them, to help us understand how they will unfold. So now let us look at those other prophecies in the approximate order they will occur.

 

Third Temple, Islam Ends, Christian Nations

John, Daniel and others prophesied that a third physical temple will exist in Jerusalem before the day of Yahweh, before Jesus returns. And it will be built before the beast takes Israel and the Middle East at the beginning of his seven-year reign. But that building of the temple during the end times will definitely require the demolition of the Muslim al-Aqsa Mosque and their Dome of the Rock which both stand on the Temple Mount. For both are located in the only place on earth where the Jewish temple can be built. God’s Law stipulates that His temple must be built there, and the Jews definitely

will not build their temple anywhere else.5 Yet al-Aqsa is Islam's third most holy site (after Mecca and Medina). So the Muslims will never allow the Jews to build God's temple on the Temple Mount, not as long as Islam has enough power to prevent the Jews from building their temple in that place.

From the beginning of Islam until now, the relationship between Muslims and Jews has always been strained. And, after the recent wars between Israel and the surrounding nations, all Jews have been forcibly deported from many Muslim nations. Meanwhile, Muslim nations have been warring against one another since their beginning in the seventh century, and are now more divided than ever before. Nor will their vengeful humanistic religion, created from the four nations of the beast (i.e., from Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome) ever allow for any peace among the Muslims or between Muslims and the rest of the world. Also, with their humanistic hierarchies and constant warfare, all the common people in Muslim nations remain impoverished, while their ruling warlords spend most of their money on weapons and personal luxuries for themselves. There is no such thing as a truly democratic nation among Muslims, since democracy is actually a Jewish and Christian concept from the laws of Moses. So now that more of the common people are seeing their own suffering and deaths in the light of other prospering democratic nations, they are questioning the validity of Islam, and Islam is breaking apart more than ever before. The whole religion of Islam is being held together by death threats against its own people, which illustrates is weakness as a religion, since true religion is based on a freely expressed and spontaneous faith of the spirit, seeking to please a holy, wise God.

Now that Islam is crumbling together with the other false humanistic churches and synagogues, and we are approaching the end of the fifth seal’s era, the great revival of the sixth seal is about to begin, after its earthquakes and striking meteors destroy the infrastructures of all the humanistic hierarchies in the world. And, before God’s Temple can be built on the Temple Mount, Islam must first fall, or become so greatly weakened that it becomes an obsolete and abandoned religion. For, only after the religion of Islam fades or dies, will the Jews be able to tear down the mosque and Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, so they can build God's temple on there. But Islam will not perish from the earth through the deaths of its followers. Rather, Islam will die as a religion because it will be abandoned and replaced with a pure form of Christianity. That is, the devout followers will soon convert to a truly biblical form of Christianity. Even though the false churches of the Great Prostitute and her daughters will exist until months before Christ’s return, Islam will perish sooner, before or during the beginning of the seventh seal’s era, and the sixth-seal revival will include many Muslims.

Now Islam is much like the other false churches, those which falsely claim to be “Christian,” since it also outwardly teaches that there is one God, but is humanistic in its doctrines and traditions. Like

 

Page 703

Last Days Timeline

 

the humanistic so-called “Christians” and “Jews,” Islam clings to many ignorant Platonic doctrines about a high god and his ways. It teaches essentially humanistic doctrines derived from Aristotelian and Platonic philosophies; regarding the human spirit, what a high god desires from us, the purpose of life on earth, what a high god calls sin, and how a high god saves from sin. In general, some sects of Islam are not as wicked as some false churches. But, overall, Islam’s propaganda makes their people unable to recognize many of what the real Creator God calls sins as sins, unable to see how they actually harm people and offend the real God. Thus, they refuse to recognize or confess those sins, and God’s Spirit cannot turn the elect among them away from those sins, even murdering sins.

If Muslims trust the false humanistic teachings which define some sins, even murder, as forms of righteousness that their high god commands, while it also portrays some kinds of true righteousness as sins, the the Holy Spirit of the real Creator God cannot effectively train their spirits to be truly just, wise and loving. Then the Muslims become like the murdering Crusaders sent out by the Great Prostitute of Rome, or like fascist “Christians” who supported Hitler and Trump. An elect spirit needs God’s pure, unadulterated truth if God is going to work His salvation in their lives. Their elect spirits need to trust the teaching and training of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, for salvation is this kind of faith.

The humanistic religions continue to zealously and proudly commit their sins with a total lack of godly sorrow which leads to repentance, because their repentance is blocked by their false teachings. They see how their lies and sins cause nothing but immeasurable pain and death, generation after generation. Yet humanism always involves hierarchical class systems, which even delude them into thinking that some human beings are not human beings, which makes them see some people as less worthy of life than the rats and cockroaches they exterminate from their homes and properties. So the deluded humanists will enslave, torture or murder religious, racial, political or other classes of people without even considering that they are sinning in any way. All fake worshipers of the one Platonic high god, all humanistic so-called Christians, Jews and Muslims do this just as much as the secular Roman humanists, just like the fascists, communists, capitalists and other sects have done.

Nevertheless, no matter how dehumanizing and sinful those religious humanists have been, they still outwardly proclaim at least some biblical truths about the real God, because they all want to pretend that they worship the real Creator God. And God uses those Scriptures to wake up some elect spirits, no matter how much those humanists corrupt them with their false teachings. And, yes, God can use some Islamic teachings to prepare elect Muslim souls to receive Christ’s real salvation. Certainly, Islam cannot teach elect souls to love the real God as well as truly biblical Christianity, or even as well as truly biblical Judaism, like the apostles had before they met Jesus. But Islam can teach the Muslims that only one God exists, and some other principles. It is still a little better than most other humanistic religions. Some sects of Islam are better than some deluding and mind-bending sects of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism or Judaism. Of course, like fake “Christian” churches, Islam is a sect of theistic humanism. Yet it is more “theistic.” That is, core Islamic teachings place a far greater emphasis on faith in God, and attribute to God much more power over man’s thoughts and destiny. Muslims often have less faith in man than many so-called “Christian” sects of theistic humanism do. So, although Islam does not teach biblical salvation, its greater emphasis on faith in God leads some closer to biblical Christianity than other false churches. It may be easier for some inwardly devout Muslims to convert to real Christianity than it will be for some members of sects of “Christendom.”

The false humanistic teachings of fake Christianity are often worse than the false doctrines of either Islam or Judaism. And the various forms of fake Christianity are far more effective in preventing a soul from receiving God’s true salvation. False Christianity more effectively stops a human spirit from hearing truths, even from seeing existing realities in from of their faces. Some sects will only

Page 704

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

believe the lies of the non-elect psychopaths whom Satan places at the tops of their hierarchies, and without any checks or balances placed on those autocratic heads of their churches. So some sects of false Christianity powerfully prevent elect spirits from submitting to Christ’s process of teaching and training their spirits to fulfill God’s laws, and more effectively prevent their spirits from hearing and following the Holy Spirit of Jesus,from believing His wise, just, righteous ways of God-like love.

Most fake Christians are also taught to believe that their own human wills cause God to save them, through a self-caused “grace,” even if God is not working any genuine salvation in their hearts at all. But Muslims know very little of this. For Muslims learn to actually realize and acknowledge that all occurs through the will and power of God. Thus, they recognize that many tragedies are indeed the deadly consequences of man’s real sins. So they see the need for God’s forgiveness, more than a need for man’s forgiveness. But fake Christians learn very little about these matters. Therefore, I believe that God is preparing the hearts of Muslims to accept Jesus’ true, biblical salvation in a better way than He allows in some fake “Christian” churches. It seems God has cursed “Christendom” with greater delusions than Islam or Judaism, because they have corrupted the words of our God, the Messiah, more than anyone else. However, God does not condone any of the humanistic churches.

Think about how Jesus said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mat. 9:13, ESV). If the “righteous” are not called, they cannot enter the kingdom of God. And God’s kingdom includes both His true church priesthood on earth as well as His eternal home of heaven above. Therefore, none of the “righteous” can be saved. They will all go to hell and none are God’s elect children. Only sinners will be called, saved and enter heaven through Jesus. Only sinners are God’s elect children. This is because all who think they are righteous are lying to God and to themselves. For literally all of God’s true elect children have an inner conscience formed in their spirits by God throughout their lives, even from birth. So, by the time the elect reach an age where they are able to distinguish good from evil, they all know they are sinners. At an early age, their inner spirits begin to cringe in pain and shame when they look back at all the harmful, stupid, ignorant, vile, ugly sinful things they said and did in their past—although most will not feel inferior to anyone else, since they will also see that literally everyone else is a sinner too, just like them, even the “righteous.” There are no exceptions.

So these true elect will not attempt to eliminate their sins by causing harm to themselves, as some foolish Catholics do. For their spirits will tell them that their sins are actually spiritual failures and weaknesses, not mere physical actions. Rather, with faith in Jesus, they will seek Him to teach and train their spirits to do His will, to stop sinning. They also know it is not possible to be an elect child of God if one has no godly sorrow regarding one’s own sins. And their spirits will know that it is not possible to exist without a strong desire to change, without an unceasing longing to somehow grow loving, just, righteous and wise—even while one knows that one cannot do this without help from God, nor ever become perfect as long as one lives in a body of flesh. Only an elect spirit that remains entirely oppressed and asleep, so that all the thoughts in one’s soul are from one’s mind of flesh, can ever even begin to think, “I am a good person, better than those sinners.” And non-elect spirits can also easily lie and tell this to themselves. But an awake elect spirit cannot help but honestly admit that one is a sinner who desperately needs God, that only God can forgive all sins, and that only God can wash one’s spirit clean by teachings His full and real truths to one’s spirit for one’s repentance.

None but God can justly correct and wisely train one’s heart, to make it strong and able to act through truly loving righteousness, and only at times, not always, not while one still lives within an amoral body of flesh. And none but hell-bound spirits, born of Satan, can ever think they have made themselves good and righteous enough to earn a place in heaven for themselves. Only the non-elect spirits can become so deluded that they will place all their faith in themselves to save themselves,

and never question that faith. Only the non-elect never realize that they are utterly incapable of ever saving themselves. The non-elect think this way because God has handed these haters of truth over to delusions. But all the elect will eventually see themselves as sinners who must repent to Jesus.

Now consider how God’s salvation from sin can only be worked through an absolute faith in God’s words, power and love for our spirits, for uninformed, foolish, blind sinners. Only He can take away our cowardliness against evil, our weakness to do right, our boldness of ignorance, our rages against His will, and all our losses caused by our own hands. And even this faith must come from God; first by His act of creating our spirits with inherent attributes that make us able to love Him and all His truths, then by His constant teachings for our spirits and by continuously shaping the inherent desires of our spirits. Through God’s works in our hearts, we learn to trust in few truths about loving justice. Then He teaches us His name, His immutable attribute and character, and to have confidence in Him, to trust in His love, to believe He will love us enough to forgive all our sins and save us from all lies and sins by the end of the judgment day, by granting our spirits right and loving thoughts to think.

We must trust God’s words enough to believe that whatever He calls a sin is indeed sin, and enough to waken our spirits, so our flesh will allow Him to teach our spirits His ways, even enough to know why sinning deserves a penalty, and why He will remove an unrepentant sinner from His creations, to prevent that kind of sinner from harming others again. For we must learn to fear Him and trust His ability to judge the motives and intentions of all spirits. Then, to have Christ’s salvation effectively worked in our spirits, we must fully trust that God completely controls every detail of all that exists, even whether or not we will be able to see and accept His truths, and cause others to be so deluded that they cause their own destruction. We must believe that our destiny rests entirely in God’s hands. We must believe that we can pray for faith, and that He will awaken our spirits, then grant real faith to our spirits. If we do not trust Him in all matters of life and faith, He cannot effectively begin to save us from lies and sins during our lives on earth, although He will save all of His elect siblings on the final judgment day in heaven. The progress of salvation on earth depends entirely upon faith, from its beginning to its end. And this is the teaching of the pure, biblical, genuine Gospel of Christ.

So now, what does Islam teach? Well, it says that God is a personal God who is loving and merciful. It teaches that sinning is a very serious matter which justly deserves the death penalty. And Islam’s approach to sin is far more centered on God’s judgments than much of Christendom tends to be. So they tend to respect and fear God more. For Islam often preaches that God will either allow one to be deceived or allow one to gain a knowledge of the truth for inward repentance. They teach that God disciplines His people, to bring them to truth, and that only the decisions of God determine whether or not one can see the truth. Of course, their faith was invented by a typical humanist, so it is full of contradictions and errors, and is not harmonious and consistent like the Word of God. Yet certain aspects of their faith are paramount regarding the acceptance of true, biblical salvation of Jesus.

While almost all the humanistic so-called “Christian” churches are busy teaching how man is able to manipulate God, cause God to save a person through the deeds of men, Islam is not so busy in that aspect of their teaching. Yes, they are humanists and believe that they must do all kinds of foolish and useless deeds of the flesh to earn a place in heaven, just as our false churches do. But while fake churches tell us not to take sin so seriously, and think God forgives all sins without any attempt to teach us how to be just, Islam teaches that God demands that we act righteously, and that God will alter how men perceive all things in order to make them righteous, often through discipline that can be very hard on the flesh, or kill the flesh. Thus, although Islam is humanistic and teaches many false doctrines, it may prepare souls for a genuine, biblical salvation by the real God, by Jesus the Christ.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Consequently, it is entirely possible that, sometime before the seventh trumpet sounds, the religion of Islam will perish and very few Muslims will exist. Many justly loving elect caught up the Islamic religion will not become atheistic secular humanists nor join the beast after Islam falls. For they will know and fear God in their hearts. Instead, a great many devout Muslims will become true, biblical Christians. Several prophecies state that many Muslim nations shall truly worship God in the last days. And, since those last days are in the New Covenant times, and since God’s Word tells us their worship will be genuine and true in those last days, this means they shall worship Jesus in a New Covenant relationship with Him. They shall convert to true, biblical Christianity, not to Judaism, nor to the theistic humanism that is now practiced by almost all of the churches on the earth in our day.

This conversion of inwardly devout Muslims will occur for a couple of reasons: (1) a truly biblical Christianity shall exist before they convert and (2) Islam will be weakened by a great catastrophe that makes their kind of worship impossible. But Scriptures never tell us exactly why or when this fall of Islam occurs, likely because, to God and the prophets, all forms of apostasy are spiritually similar, since all involve faith in the wills and teachings of men more than in the will and teachings of God. To the Old Covenant prophets, all false forms of worshiping the one Creator God Yahweh were forms of false Judaism, and the true worship of Yahweh would become a New Covenant relationship with Him through the Messiah. To the prophets, Islam was just another false church of Israel, no different from the humanistic Roman Catholic or Protestant churches existing in our day.

We can only guess that the fall of Islam might occur after the sealing of the saints in the era of the sixth seal, since that is when the preaching of the true, original Gospel will finally reach the whole world. For how could so many convert to true, biblical Christianity before then, while a false and humanistic gospel is preached by most churches today? Islam is just another sect of theistic humanism, much like Roman Catholicism or most kinds of Protestantism. So, since all are the same, why would Muslims convert to those kinds of Christianity? Since God told us that they would truly convert to real faith in Him, this must surely occur after the era of the sixth seal begins. On the other hand, other factors must be involved in the conversion from Islam too. Perhaps inwardly devout Muslims will convert if Mecca is destroyed, possibly during the great war with the army of 200 million, or during some other event early in the seventh seal’s era. But whenever Islam dies, it will be at least a decade before the beast comes to conquer Israel and the Middle East. For Israel will need to have enough time to construct the Jerusalem temple, and it will require at least a decade.

Naturally, devout Muslims may convert if Mecca was destroyed, since the destruction of the physical site of Mecca, their most holy place, would be the kind of event that would destroy their faith. After all, Islam is perpetuated only through entirely physical means. A Muslim’s relationship with God depends entirely upon physical deeds, such as praying towards the physical place of Mecca five times a day. Islam is all about observing physical laws, rules and rituals. For instance, if one does not keep the Ramadan, a fast during daylight hours for 29 or 30 days while abstaining from bad deeds and doing good deeds, then one can be cursed to hell for all eternity. Muslims share only common physical objectives, with little emphasis on the personal, inward faith of the spirit, although the soul is important to them as well. So, as long as their physical things exist, especially Mecca, Islam will exist, with or without any of the true, inward faith of the spirit. But as soon as its physical elements are gone, the religion of Islam will die. For absolutely nothing would remain for the humanistic religion of Islam to unite and maintain itself as a religion after its main physical elements are gone.

An outward kind of religion can maintain itself based on physical temples and things. We saw how the faith of the Sadducees centered on the physical temple in Jerusalem. Then their whole sect fell and vanished into thin air as soon as Rome destroyed that temple. Any remaining devout Sadducees

Page 707

Last Days Timeline

 

joined the Pharisees, who preached a more personal faith in God, whose faith did not rely upon the existence of a physical temple. A similar thing may happen if Mecca is destroyed. And, with the Sunni Muslims of Saudi Arabia prevent Shia Muslims from gaining access to Mecca, some radical Muslims may even destroy Mecca in a war. Or some other nation may destroy Mecca. But a very limited opportunity for their physical kind of worship can exist if Mecca is destroyed. So inwardly devout Muslims would likely convert to the spiritual faith of true, biblical Christianity if Mecca is destroyed. Regardless of what causes Islam to fall, it must fall at least a decade before the beast rises to power, because Israel must have time to reclaim a full and undisputed ownership of the Temple Mount at least a decade before the beast arrives, so they will have enough time to construct their temple. For much of its construction will need to be done by the hands of Levites, and with manual tools. Also, even before they begin construction, there must be a transition period, a time to allow the non-Jewish people in Jerusalem, Israel and the world to adjust for the peaceful transfer of ownership of the Temple Mount to Israel. If we add a few years of transition to the number of years required for the temple's construction, we assume that Islam will fall more than a decade before the beast arrives.

As mentioned, the prophecies indicate that many Muslims will become Christians during the last days. For instance, Isaiah prophesied that Egypt and Assyria, as well as other lands that are all now Muslim nations in what was once the Assyrian Empire, will turn to the Lord during the end times, in New Covenant times. That is, after a great war with Israel, during the days when the events of the sixth and seventh seals occur, those lands will become true Christians and allies of Israel (Is. 11:15-16; 19:12-25). These prophecies suggest those Muslim nations will repent to the Messiah Jesus, since these are Messianic prophecies about the day of Yahweh Jesus, and will occur some time before the beast becomes the dominant world power, and before Jesus returns to destroy that beast.

Also notice in the end-time prophecies, that some other places on earth will not worship the beast, but will glorify God instead. So the beast will become the dominant world power, but he will not directly rule literally all nations on earth. The beast will only directly rule his own seven nations (that become eight), and all those nations are somewhere in Europe, since six of these seven nations previously belonged to the ancient Roman Empire, and only one did not belong to Rome in the days of the apostle John, that is, by the end of the first century. Meanwhile, some nations in the rest of the world will remain enemies of the beast, and war against him. Like every dominant world power in history, the beast will rule the world, but not all directly. Many nations will, of course, be allies of the beast when he becomes the dominant world power. But we can be sure some nations will also become Christian, more than ever before, and genuinely worship Jesus in their spirits and in truth.

Isaiah 11:10-16 (ESV): “In that day the root of Jesse [Here we see that this is a Messianic

prophecy, since the Messiah Jesus is ‘the root of Jesse,’ since David was Jesse’s son and Jesus is the heir to

David’s throne], who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of Him shall the nations

inquire , and His resting place shall be glorious . In that day the Lord will extend His hand

yet a second time to recover [or ‘take possession of’] the remnant that remains of His people,

from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros [Sudan], from Cush [Ethiopia and parts of Sudan], from

Elam [Iran], from Shinar [parts of Iraq, extending into Saudi Arabia], from Hamath [Syria and

Turkey], and from the coastlands of the sea [The word translated as 'coastlands' or 'islands' comes from

a Hebrew word (iy). In those days, it referred to any inhabited land which was so distant that it could only be

accessed by a long ocean voyage, since it would be either impractical or impossible to access it by a land

route.] He will raise a signal for the nations [i.e., the Gentiles] and will assemble the banished

of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

 

Page 708

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

“The jealousy of Ephraim [northern Israelites] shall depart, and those who harass Judah [in

southern Israel] shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not

harass Ephraim. [The return of Jews to Israel, from the 19th century to this day, has never seen rivalry

between the northern and southern tribes of Israel.] But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the

Philistines in the west, and together they shall plunder the people of the east. They [the united

Israel] shall put out their hand against Edom [southern part of Jordan] and Moab [central part of

Jordan], and the Ammonites [northern part of Jordan] shall obey them. And [Yahweh] will utterly

destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt [Red Sea], and will wave His hand over the River [i.e.,

Euphrates River, the other border of the promised land] with His scorching breath, and strike it into

seven channels, and He will lead people across in sandals. And there will be a highway from

Assyria [from Iraq, Iran, etc.] for the remnant that remains of His people, [This would refer to a

remnant of elect Gentiles in Egypt and in all the nations named above that were parts of Assyria, which are now

all Islamic states.] as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.”

Here, the “root of Jesse” can only refer to the Messiah, Jesus. This is a Messianic prophecy about the end times. So, clearly, if Jesus is “a signal for the peoples” and “the nations inquire” about God’s ways, they will ask our God Jesus about God’s ways in the end times. We must also conclude that Isaiah is speaking about the New Covenant salvation of the Messiah in all these lands He listed. All will become Christian nations, though all are now Muslim nations. Our Messiah and God Jesus will “recover” or “takes possession” of those lands. “Recovering” or “taking possession” of those nations in the end times, where all seek knowledge and wisdom about the real Creator God Yahweh, refers to a true, biblical Christianity practiced by those nations. All become God's lands in Jesus, the Messiah.

Jesus, not the human gods of Roman church hierarchies, will become their “signal,” the One they look to for guidance, the one they “inquire” of, as their God. His Holy Spirit will rest in those people of those nations, in a “glorious” way, in a way where God bears a good opinion of them. In Isaiah’s day, the Assyrian Empire included Iraq and parts of Iran, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. So God will “recover” the lands formerly governed by Assyria “in that day,” in the times of when the Messiah Jesus comes to take back His earthly kingdom from Satan, during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. The “day” of the Messiah refers to an indeterminate period of time heralding in the glorious advent of the Messiah, the period of time just before Jesus returns, which is otherwise known as the “end times.” In just one generation, in a period of about 40 years, our God Jesus will destroy the infrastructures of Satan’s world order, especially Roman humanism, then rule the world.

What Isaiah called “the coastlands of the sea” does not merely refer to lands in the Mediterranean basin,those accessible from the coast of Israel in Isaiah’s lifetime, such as lands on the north coast of Africa. For this prophecy clearly has a world-wide scope. So, what God called the “coastlands” in this prophecy includes many of the far-off lands throughout the world, lands accessible by any of the oceans of the world. The Messiah will “recover” many other Gentile “nations” around the world, will cause them to become truly Christian nations, just like the lands of the Middle East listed in this prophecy. And this does not mean they will become theocracies ruled by men in Roman-like class systems of steep hierarchies. Rather, they will be biblical democracies who “choose” serving elders from those God has chosen, from those whom God has evidenced as being taught and trained by His Holy Spirit. They will be just, loving nations who provide freedom of conscience and religion, who allow freedom of speech and debate, whose churches do not condemn the innocent or foolish, but mind their own business as they should. They will be nations who heed the Spirit and words of God.

Israel had access to both the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea in Isaiah’s time. And some merchants came to Israel with merchandise from far beyond those seas, from places in the Atlantic Ocean and

 

Page 709

parts of the Pacific Ocean, from beyond India and Spain. So, when Isaiah spoke of the “coastlands,” he knew there were many lands throughout the world, in places farther than he could imagine. And Isaiah also knew that God created the priesthood of Israel through Abraham to serve the entire world, including those very distant lands, who had not yet even heard of Israel. And God prophesied that many of those distant lands would also become nations serving God’s Messiah in the end times.

Since I live in North America, I hope parts of it will become truly Christian, although many in my land are hard-hearted, stubborn, bigoted, selfish, cruel, ignorant people who prefer Satanic Roman humanism to God’s ways, even in their churches and synagogues. Still, there is a possibility that enough will repent into a just, equitable, loving knowledge of God and His ways, although not likely until God proves them to be sinners who destroy themselves as they destroy their prey. Yet, perhaps after the plagues of the first five trumpets, enough will repent to establish truly Christian nations, since many truths from God have already poured into these lands ever since the 18 th century Great Awakening touched it. And we know that Jesus’ Holy Spirit will reach out “a second time” to many nations, even to more nations than He did during apostolic times. “In that day the Lord will extend His hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of His people” from all lands (11:11). Elect souls everywhere on earth will hear His call and come to His Messiah, mostly during the sixth seal’s revival, but also after that, during the plagues of the seventh seal’s era. He will “recover” us.

But this prophecy comes with an ominous warning as well. For God will be recovering or taking possession of “the remnant that remains of His people” in all lands all over the world. And, when He calls them a “remnant that remains,” it means that many of the people in those lands will die before God recovers His elect. It means this recovery of the elect will occur after a great tragedy that kills many people in their lands. For it will begin after the persecutions of the current fifth seal’s era, and after the world-wide earthquakes and striking meteors at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era. Then His recovery of the elect remnant will continue during the plagues of the seven trumpets in the era of the seventh seal. God will revive and awaken His elect after times of murdering persecutions, great wars and other deadly plagues from God. Yet God will recover, renew and restore the elect even in some of the lands that currently persecute and war against “His people,” in the listed Muslim lands.

Before God’s “recovery” or taking possession revives the elect in all those lands of the Middle East and in other parts of the world, we will see much death and survives some extremely hard times, the worst tribulations this world has ever seen. Still, the result will be that the elect survivors will then become whole nations of God’s genuine worshipers, truly just, godly, compassionate nations that will be made ready for the return of our God Jesus to this earth. Truly awakened elect spirits will form the governments that serve their people, that will no longer exploit them. None can become theocracies until Jesus actually returns. Nevertheless, those truly Christian Gentile lands will be just, free and loving, through their worship (service and esteem) of Jesus in a biblical way, in spirit and in truth, even though most of the named places here are now Roman humanists, now all Muslim lands.

Other prophecies say that Jesus will return after cataclysmic events leave only a remnant in the Middle East and in other parts of the world, after the world-wide devastation during what the Revelation calls the sixth and seventh seals’ eras, and after many Gentile nations learn to “inquire” of God. Yet God seems to prophesy through Isaiah that it is while all these tribulations of the world are occurring: “He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth” (11:12). For these assembled Jews will then war with the “Philistines,” which is an event that can only occur before Jesus will return.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Therefore, God will gather some of the Jews from the Diaspora into the land of Israel, while all these troubles are occurring in the world. And we have seen God begin this first gathering of the Jews during the persecutions of the fifth seal’s era, where this persecution was to be a “signal” indicating the beginning of the end time eras of the sixth and seventh seals. For here God does not say He will gather “all” Jews into Israel. Only the other prophecies say He will gather literally “all” the Jews into Israel, and only after Jesus returns. Rather, God will merely gather enough Jews to form the initial nation of Israel at the start of the end times, enough to fight in some predestined wars before the Messiah returns. This initial return of the Jews to Israel, and the wars in the Middle East, began in the 19th century, then carried on until this day, during the era that the Revelation calls the fifth seal.

And, since this return of the Jews to Israel is a lengthy process that will not be completed until after Jesus returns, we can assume that more Jews will make Aliyah, and return to the land of Israel, after the sixth-seal revival and during the plagues of seven trumpets in the seventh seal’s era. It also seems to imply that many Jews, like many Gentiles in all the other lands on earth, will perish in the plagues of the sixth and seventh seals. For there will be many wars with various lands until Jesus will return.

The modern war between the Philistines and Israel, after the Jews began to return to Israel, started with conflicts and deaths in 1921, more than a century ago. That is, the word “Palestine” is simply the Latin form of the word “Philistine.” And the traditional Philistine lands are now called Gaza on the Israel’s west coast, where Palestinians (who are actually mostly Egyptians) live. Then the Gentiles in Judah and Samaria, in the “West Bank” of central eastern Israel, are also mostly from Egypt, Jordan, Syria and so on, also call themselves Philistines or Palestinians. And both of these Palestinians have been attacking Israel, as well as other Muslims and Christians, for more than a century. So Israel has already begun to “swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west [Gaza] and together they shall plunder the people of the east [in the West Bank and beyond]” (11:14). And these wars with the Palestinians began for the same reason that Israel had warred against the ancient Philistines, because the Palestinians want to completely annihilate literally all the Jews within Israel.

This is an ugly and brutal war, but was prophesied and predestined. And God said He would entirely and completely destroy Palestine someday, all who did not repent into a knowledge of the truth. But most Palestinians resist all spiritual and physical truths which condemn them, and are so violent that other Muslims in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait, where those Palestinians caused much death and destruction, hate them. Palestinians promote such an evil blood lust and such hatred for the truth that they will murder anyone who even dares to speak the truth against them. Very few other Muslim people, other than the radical leaders in Iran, want anything to do with the Palestinians, because they are so violent, because they are even willing to torture, rape and murder Israeli women and children.

It also seems that Israel will war against Jordan someday, but mostly in the regions of ancient Ammon, Moab and Edom, in the places where Palestinians have fled to and remain at the present time. These regions of Jordan are destined to surrender and “obey” the government of Israel. Also, look at how Daniel prophesied that the beast will not enter Jordan during His conquest of the Middle East in the first half of his seven-year reign, writing: “but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon” (Dan. 11:41, WEB). Will the beast side with the Palestinians hiding there in the end times? After all, the European beast will be very antisemitic, just like the Palestinians. But this war began long before the beast will rise to power, and Israel will likely overcome the Palestinians in Jordan before the beast arrives, in a way that will significantly weaken them. Thus, those Palestinians would be no threat to the beast. So perhaps the beast will simply not bother to conquer those Jordanian lands after Israel has placed them under their control.
