What a masterpiece
the great Book of Revelation, the
Book of the Uncovering, the Book of the Unveiling.
The
false messiah, though
the look-alike Jesus,
Satan, will appear first,
before our Lord's
return,
and he shows up at the 6th
Trump and the 6th
vial, and we will
find him here in the 6th seal as well. 666
This
is absolutely precious knowledge! If you have
"eyes
to see" and
"ears to hear" you
will discover that this sixth seal will
reveal something that the
majority of Christian ministers and pastors
and
teachers are completely unaware (ignorant)
of, and
consequently they
cannot
understand the events of prophecy foretelling of our
present day and
the
days that lie just ahead. (They have been following
the rider of the
white
horse, of the first seal, who has led them down a desolate road.) They
must
therefore rely on "traditional"
teachings which defy common sense and
can
easily be proven to be contradictory to God's Word even by a child. It
is no wonder they shy away from the Book of Revelation, even telling
their
congregations that they won't be here anyway when these events take
place,
so why bother trying to understand it. Woe unto them!
We have also learned that all Seven of
the Seals
were
given to the disciples by Jesus in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 as Signs
of
what
it would be like just prior to His second advent. To understand this
6th
seal then, let's pick it up in Mark 13:14, just after He gave the 5th
sign
(we'll repeat verse 13).
Mark
13:13
And ye shall
be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto
the
end, the same shall be saved.
[14]
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel
the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth
understand,)
then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
What is the abomination of
desolation?
Actually the question
should be "who"
is the abomination of desolation?
Just a little
application
of rightly dividing the Word will make this very, very simple.
You will find that "he" is the "abominator" who
comes
in on the wings of desolation, i.e. lays waste, makes desolate, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet in chapter 9 of the book bearing his name.
That
is why Dr. Moffat translates "standing where 'it' ought not" as
"standing
where 'he' ought not".
Do you know where he ought
not to be standing? The
apostle
Paul speaks of this exact same event in his second letter to the
Thessalonians
concerning the son of perdition, i.e. the son who will perish, the
abominator
who makes desolate, Satan himself:
2 Thes.
2:4
Who opposeth
and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself that he
is God.
He stands in the temple of God,
where he
ought not to be
sitting either, claiming he's Jesus Christ. When you see this, Christ
continues
in Mark 13:15...
Mark
13:15 And let him that
is on the housetop
not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing
out
of his house:
[16]
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his
garment.
These
two verses simply say that when you
see this "benchmark"
of prophecy come to pass, i.e. Satan posing as Christ,
that
time is short and Jesus will return very soon and as watchmen on the
tower
or workers plowing in the
field, there is no need to come down or go
back
to the house and pack your bags.
These verses are figures of
speech
saying
time is extremely short.
And where is the "Temple of God"? Well it's not in Jerusalem as many/most Bible commentators say.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
So Don't Be Looking In Jerusalem for this "benchmark"
of prophecy to come to pass, Satan posing as Christ; Look in your own heart, because that is where "The Temple of God" is to be!!!!!!!
Mark
1317
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those
days!
John Rhine cautions you to see my notes within this green background below concerning the TEMPLE:
You
see, the temple Christ will destroy at His return, is that false temple
that exists in the heart of many/most pro-claiming Christians (Religion),
that they've allowed Satan, "The Rider of the First
White Horse" to built there; Along with the strangers, i.e.
kenites, who helped him build it (666), crushing all those little
stones,
not leaving one atop another!
Only
those pro-claiming Christians with "The Seal of God" firmly planted in
there mind will know it is the false-christ, i.e. the spurious messiah,
not the true Christ sitting there in their heart!
But, also read Revelation11:8, It says when talking about the two witnesses that Satan kills: Revelation 11:8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified.
The great city is "Spiritually" called Egypt and Sodom. But it says their bodies will lie in the city where Christ was crucified, and that would be in Jerusalem. Now,
what comes to your mind when you think of Sodom and Egypt? "Vice" in
Sodom and Gomorrah and "Tyranny" in Egypt! Yes, that about describes
the crowd who has taken over the Temple in the Holy City and what's
going on there.
"Dead
bodies" in the Greek means "corpses". The corpses of the two witnesses
will lie in the "open square" in Jerusalem (look up street in Strong's) . This documents that the two witnesses are not two churches but two human beings.
[9]
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see
their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their
dead bodies to be put in graves.
Question:What does all this tell me?
Answer: It tells me I have some more studying, along with correctly dividing, of "His Word" to do!
Because, in my mind it poses another question: Are we talking "The City of Jerusalem" or "Our Hearts" as I just Asserted above or BOTH?
