UNANSWERED QUESTIONS FROM YOUR WORD SEARCHES

This blog will be updated when needed while adding onto it progressively. Thanks to WordPress.com’s website, I can see what word searches lead you to my website. As I said in my blog “My Thanks To You”, some of those searches impress me quite a bit which says a lot about how some of you are willing to ask the tough questions even if it does go against your denominational doctrine teaching. Some of the searches are in form of questions, and since some of those questions aren’t fully answered by me in my blogs I decided to make a blog to answer those questions individually. This way if you find your way back to my site, you will get your answers. I will write down those questions and even date them for you. Just another way to help my viewers. I appreciate your patience and diligence to find my site, so I thank you.

Feb. 2,3, 2010– Question: “What was the serpent’s/Satan’s purpose to beguile Eve?”

Answer: To bring death to our creation before it’s due time. I did answer that Satan was the serpent, as was revealed in Rev. 20:2, and that someone was destined to eat of the tree of knowledge. Since Jesus is the foundation of this age (not the world in the original Greek), it means he was destined to die for our sins before Adam and Eve sinned. Since it was Adam and Eve that sinned, they were to blame for our creation’s ability to sin and die. Satan wanted to corrupt our creation as early and thoroughly as possible to show God that we aren’t worth His love and time.

Feb. 3, 2010– Question: “What was the meaning of Smyrna in Hebrew?”        

Answer: Smyrna isn’t Hebrew. It’s the Greek word for “myrrh”, which the city in then Asia Minor was named after. Myrrh is a scented ointment. That city is now Izmir, Turkey.

Feb. 6, 2010– Question: “Is Pope Benedict the False Prophet?”

Answer: I laid out in “The False Prophet, Pope Petrus Romanus, And The Church of Ephesus” that all indications point to the last pope being the False Prophet. This is something that is accepted by even many Catholic theologians due to the predictions of St. Malachy, who gave the names for the popes from then on. In his prophecy, the last pope would betray the faith. After his time is over, there would be no more Catholic church. After Pope Benedict, there is only one pope left. His name will be Pope Petrus Romanus.

Feb. 8, 2010– Question: “How does the serpent convince Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge?”

Answer: By tempting her in telling her that she will learn new things and that she certainly will not die. It’s been a long human trait to want things that are forbidden. Eve was just the first.

WHERE IS SATAN?

That is a question that plagues believers and highminded non-believers alike. The traditional teaching is that Satan is somewhere below the Earth’s crust in a place called Hell. This is unequivocally wrong. Where they get this from is that Satan is in the bottomless pit and all the old artwork painting him as a pitchfork wielding creature in desperate need of SPF lotion. One, the bottomless pit hasn’t been opened yet. If it has been, then show it to me. I’d love to see it. When it says “…the Devil has come down unto having great wrath…”, this is something that will happen in the future. To John of Patmos, it was the past tense because he was simply taken into the future and saw and heard those things. It was past tense to him. Not us. Satan is supposed to be there for a thousand years. When did he get out? When did he go in?

The rider of the pale horse is also key with this. The rider of the white horse is the Antichrist human being. He is the Beast, but he simply is a man with the spirit of Satan inside him. The Antichrist human will die in the midst of the Tribulation Period. He will seemingly rise again, but it will not be his human flesh. It will be Satan in his angelic flesh. That is when he is kicked down here. Satan is the rider of the pale horse. He is named Death and Hell will follow him. Hell can’t follow him if it’s already here below our feet and filled with former rock stars.

Let’s also look at the early chapters of Job. Satan was on Earth, just as he was when he tempted Jesus. Read carefully though. Did it sound like Satan was forced upon Earth, or was allowed to move freely? God did have to ask Satan where he was. Satan answered on Earth. Sounds like Satan was allowed to go pretty much where he wanted. He will be forced on Earth at some point in the future. The truth is Hell is with Satan. Wherever Satan is, Hell is with him.

I’m sorry I cannot fully answer the question of where Satan is. The reason for that is it is impossible to answer until he is forced upon Earth after Michael and his angels kick him down here. He is somewhere between the realm of the Holy angels and our world. That is as accurate as I can be. God bless.

MISTRANSLATIONS AND NAME MEANINGS IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE

I have written many blogs in the past which correct mistranslations in the King James as well as newer translations of the Bible. I have said in the past that the King James is still the best English translated Bible there is, but I have recently come to know the Gideon’s Bible. The language is updated and many of the KJV mistranslations are corrected. Without going back to correct my previous posts, I will now say the Gideon’s Bible is the best English Bible out there. The reason why I don’t want to go back and correct myself is so you know I am still learning myself, since I had not looked into a Gideon’s at that time. I still suggest for all to get a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and use a KJV with it if you want a full, true word of God. The Strong’s traces every word of the KJV back to the original Hebrew and Greek without the influence of men. This is extremely important for the true student.

The most important mistranslation in the KJV is inside the New Testament with the phrase “end of the world”. Only in the NT is that phrase written, and in each case in the original Greek the word there for “world” does not trace back to “κοσμοσ” (cos-mos), which is their word for “world”. Every single instance the original Greek word was actually “αιων” (ahee-own), which is their word for “age”. Not world. In some cases, it can mean world but let’s look at the gospel of Matthew. Four times the phrase “end of the world” shows up, again all were “αιων” in Greek, but other times the word “world” in Matthew cosmos is used. Why would Matthew use different words if he meant the same thing? Answer: he didn’t mean the same thing. He meant “age”, so he used a different Greek word than cosmos. What makes this so important is it shows there is no end of the world. If you look at Matt. 24:3, the disciples ask Jesus for the signs of his return and the end of the age. If you take that to heart and read Revelation 20, then you can make sense of it. When Jesus returns, that ends this age and begins a new age that will last a little over a thousand years. Without knowing Jesus’ return ends this age, Rev. 20 cannot be made sense of. The Gideon’s corrects those mistakes.

In one of the most intriguing mistranslations of the KJV is the craft Ezekiel saw. In the KJV it says the color of it was amber. That is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word there was (khazh-mal), which means “polished spectrum metal with an amber hue”, or beryl. Not a grainy amber color. Given the other descriptions of the craft Ezekiel saw, it could not be anything made of this world at that time. The Gideon’s also corrects this.

Jesus wasn’t our Lord’s real name. Jesus is the English pronunciation of the Greek version of the Hebrew name Yeshua (or Y’shua). Y’shua means “God saved”. If you took Y’shua and directly translated it to English, it would be Joshua. It doesn’t matter so much what you call him, as long as you call him Christ, Saviour, Lord, and the Son of the Living God. His mother Mary is the English version of Maria. Pronounced in their native Aramaic tongue, it would sound like (mah-ree-AH). Maria in Hebrew means “bitter”.

Satan in the Hebrew means “opponent, adversary”, and in some instances can mean “persecute”. Very apt names, which the definitions really mean something. Satan is the opponent and adversary, and has/will persecute(d) our creation. Another very important mistranslation in the KJV is because of an assumption made by men. In Isaiah 14:12, the word “Lucifer” shows up for the only time in the KJV. The original Hebrew word there wasn’t anything near Lucifer at all. The original Hebrew word there was “Helel”. Why change it to Lucifer? Because the Catholic Church, which authored the KJV assumed Isaiah was talking about the King of Babylon still, whose name was Lucifer. Problem with that is if Isaiah was still talking about the King of Babylon, the name would have also been Lucifer in the Hebrew. Isaiah nor any other OT prophet changed the name of any person from any other nation. You can see that for yourself. Since Helel was used, it must mean Isaiah was speaking of something else. Those that authored the KJV failed anyway since most attribute the word “Lucifer” as one of the names of the Devil. Isaiah was indeed speaking of the Devil. Helel means “morningstar” or “brightness”. One must ask, why the huge differences in not only the names but the meanings? Helel/Lucifer is mentioned only one time in the entire Bible, so why only there? It describes how Helel fell. After he fell, God changed his name. He was the morningstar. Now he’s the adversary.

Another important and intriguing mistranslation of the KJV is the word “giants” in Genesis 6:4. The original Hebrew word there was “nephil” (neh-feel), which is their word for “fallen”. This mistranslation also shows up in Numbers 13:33, which also describes them being like grasshoppers. If you look at the plague of the locusts in Revelation 9, their master was Apollyon, which is another name in the Greek for the Devil. These points are significant since it shows who those “giants” really were in Genesis and Numbers. They were the fallen angels. “Nephilim” is the Hebrew word for “fallen angels”. When Helel fell, he took many angels with him. They became known as the “nephil”, and their master is the Devil. The plague of locusts is the plague of the fallen angels. I didn’t look if the Gideon’s corrects this or not.

What too many call the final battle between good and evil before the end of the world, Armageddon has nothing to do with a time. Armageddon is two words put together. There is “har” which means “mountain”, and Megiddo means “a gathering’, but also is in the valley of Jezreel in northern Israel near a mountain. Armageddon means “a gathering near a mountain in Megiddo”. That is where the world will come to meet for battle against Israel and the forces of God. Both the OT and NT speak of Megiddo being the place for the final battle, but as I stated before, not for the end of the world. Armageddon will be fought at the climax of this age, but afterward a new age will begin once Y’shua has returned.

I hope this post not only gives you a new insight on the written Word, but also inspires you to get a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance since it will open your eyes. It doesn’t preach. It doesn’t have any link to a denomination. All it does is trace the words back to the original languages for a pure word of God without the influence of men. If you truly want to learn, a Strong’s is a must.

THE USA: THE TRUE BRINGER OF THE N.W.O.

For many who believe as I once did, that eventually when the one world government comes, that the US will be dragged into it somehow. That Europe through the EU will take advantage of a weak US President and take away our sovereignty with the New World Order. Because I’m a thinking man that never tries to explain out my own thoughts, but rather lets things explain themselves to me, I have found out that it will be the opposite. Does the EU want a one world government? You betcha. Will they drag our country to it? Absolutely not. We will be the ones authoring the need for the NWO. Barack Obama is the one sailing this ship toward financial collapse and ruin. Anyone that pays attention or is not kidding themselves know that Obama is doing this on purpose. For the skeptics out there that don’t believe this, let me lay it out for you:

1. One of the big factors for the economy being so abysmal is runaway spending done by Bush and the GOP from 2001-2006. This caused the dollar to drop drastically and our debt to grow to astounding heights. What is Obama’s solution? Spend even more and cause the dollar to plummet even more and our debt to grow to unimaginable heights. We’re talking to the point that we can NEVER pay off that debt. Anyone that says we can do it is kidding themselves.

2. The first stimulus package was passed because of an emergency. There was no time to waste on reading the 1000+ page bill authored by the Apollo Alliance, the head of which is co-founder of the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground Jeff Jones. We had to pass this back-ended spending package to save jobs. To this point, we have not spent half of that stimulus. Did most of the money go to jobs? No they didn’t. With congressional districts run by dems helping out, Obama cooked the books to show America that the stimulus bill saved jobs. Some districts don’t even exist, as was even reported by the Obamasciple media. Now they are looking into passing within a month or so another stimulus bill that is more aimed at creating jobs. What was the first one for then?

3. Other nations have been begging us to stop spending and printing money or they will quit trading in US currency. What is our President doing? Proposing another $250+ billion stimulus bill and printing twice the money we are supposed to print. When other nations decide to finally wash their hands of the dollar, it will drop far below where it’s at today. If you think gold is high now, wait in another year.

4. The healthcare bills all increase the debt dramatically, and even many of our left-leaning politicians know it. The CBO knows it, that is why Obama has “met” with them. When we are in such debt, why pass the most expensive entitlement program in US history? Over one-sixth of our economy will be irreparably changed. Try taking away an entitlement program. It’s like pulling teeth from a lion spiked on an energy drink.

5. The cap and trade program Obama wishes would have already passed (people standing up to congresspersons for the amount of spending for healthcare, etc… got in his way), would guarantee the total collapse of the overall economy. On every front the economy would crash here. Guess who knows this? Obama. Obama said that his cap and trade program “would necessarily cause energy prices to skyrocket…. and the energy companies would then pass that onto the consumer.” The citizens of this country can ill afford to pay more for anything right now, but he will do his best to push it through anyway over a false assumption with cooked books known as the global warming scam. If the price on energy goes up, the price on nearly everything goes up because it takes energy to produce it.

As I said in my last blog, it’s not about spreading the wealth. It’s all about the government increasing in power. Why would Obama want to increase the price so drastically of energy at a time like this? There are no other answers. Look at who Obama has surrounded himself with during his entire adult life. Marxists who want to diminish opposing views in order to achieve social justice. People who adore Che Guevera, Hugo Chavez, and Mao Tse Tung. Notice none of them talk of their love for George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. When your staffpersons are hanging posters of murderer Che Guevera, then you know something’s wrong. Czars and advisers have spoken publicly of their love for the worst this world has had to offer and yet most don’t even bat an eye. The left doesn’t bat an eye either because they don’t know about it or they’re okay with it. The right doesn’t because they’re thinking “what was anyone else expecting?”

The US through Obama will continue the spiralling debt as fast as we can to restart the system. In years past, when American socialists said this was the way to get social justice done, they didn’t count on taking the whole world down with us. In a global economy and our country being as rich as it is, this country will take down the whole world economy with us.I saw on Glen Beck last week where he put forth that the world will bail the US out, and that will bring about the New World Order. He’s close to being right. The problem with his prophecy is that they can’t bail us out. The whole world cannot bail us out because they are suffering too. How can they bail us out when our economy is in their bloodstream? They can’t. They will go right down with us.

All that needs to happen is for those countries that the USA are in debt to decide that they are at a point where they have absolutely no confidence in our ability to pay back the loans and basically make a margin call. Once they reach that point, the USA will be done. Once the USA is done, so is the rest of the world. That is happening right now. The USA is being lectured to on economic matters by a communist Chinese government, and they aren’t the only ones. They are telling us to stop spending so much and let the market work the problem out. We haven’t and we won’t. What happens next after such a world economic collapse is the whole world starts again. No more all-powerful individual nations to cause the world to collapse again. We must all be brought together for the good of the world to prevent future disaster. Since the EU is at the forefront of bringing in a one world government, they will be the ones to map out a plan and select a leader. Someone with charisma to lead the world. No, not Obama. The world will blame Obama for the collapse. It will be someone else. Then a new currency will come about. I am calling it the “Worldo”. The Worldo will be the new currency to trade from nation to nation, as well as domestic spending. As a result of the new currency, gold will drop to near record lows. The world will not need gold anymore. They will have the Worldo. That goes for any other way the nations of the world is trading in lieu of the dollar. It will not be needed anymore. Watch for those gold investments! Individual liberties would be all but gone. The governments already exercise too much power over their people. It would only increase after the coming collapse. Each nation that has a constitution will lose it. The world will have its constitution with no nation escaping its clutch. Bush and his incompetence; the GOP and their desire to pay back their donors; Obama and his radical agenda will be the ones to cause the New World Order to happen. Collapse is the only possible outcome. From the ashes of the collapse will rise the Phoenix known as the New World Order. I’m a realist, and I don’t see any way out of it.

GLOBAL WARMING AND THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

I have written in the past at other websites about global warming and other political issues, but now I realize that politics isn’t my fight. Getting people prepared for the time to come and explaining God’s word without the entanglements of traditional and denominational teaching is my fight. The political fight will rage on without me. This post does entail global warming because of its agenda of being a global government. The global government comes with a loss of sovereignty. Loss of sovereignty comes with a loss of freedom. Loss of freedom comes with a loss of humanity. Loss of humanity comes with things that should never be heard or seen.

When I was young, scientists said we were either in or about to enter an ice age. As a matter of fact, many including Obama’s climate czar said by the mid 90’s the northern hemisphere would be mostly covered in ice. Since I’m not ancient, this happened not long ago. If memory serves me correctly, the ice age hysteria lingered until 1980. The reason for the cooler weather was lack of sunspot activity. In 1988, the UN came out saying there was global warming. Soon after that, man was to blame. Instead of scientists learning their lesson after the ice age fiasco, they screamed like Chicken Little again and proclaimed the Earth was melting. For anyone with a curious mind, one must be able to ask how can man cause the scientists to go from the talk of ice age to global warming within a decade? That’s impossible, isn’t it? How can our creation cause such a drastic turnaround within ten years? A question global warming hysterics either won’t ask, or don’t want you to ask.

The Earth was warming during the 80’s and 90’s, but the last few years the Earth has been cooling. Look it up. Don’t look at projections which are outdated. Look at actual stats. Heck, put your finger to the air and feel. It feels cooler than it was about ten years ago, doesn’t it? The last few years, it has gotten particularly cooler. The reason: lack of sunspot activity. During the Earth’s warming, we weren’t alone. Mars too was warming at about the same rate since the 70’s. There will be a link below to that story. If lack of sunspot activity was the cause for the cooling back in the 70’s and again now, and when our planet warmed along with another planet, couldn’t anyone with a rational thought conclude that it was an increase in sunspot activity that caused the warming?

What started off as an innocent but headline grabbing proclamation that the Earth was warming, governments saw it as a chance to grab more control over their people. In turn, they would give scientists grants to keep going along with the hysteria while ostricizing any dissenting voices. This is worldwide. Scientists are routinely ostricized, threatened, and even misquoted in studies if they dare go against the “man causing climate change” religion, as was shown in “The Great Global Warming Swindle” on Sundance. Yes, Sundance actually showed it. Here, Al Gore took up the cause while making a lot of money from it. When anyone actually challenges him, he dismisses them. He actually told a scientist that wanted to debate him that he can’t debate the science. Imagine that, Gore telling a scientist that he couldn’t debate the science. I guess you are right, Mr. Gore. You cannot debate the science with a scientist. He also has taken on a strategy of humiliating his opponents by insulting or trying to minimize the voice of regular people. He has called anyone that doesn’t believe in manmade climate change “a flat-earther”. He has complained to media that people who don’t believe in manmade climate change should not be given equal airtime. He has even told students to not listen to their parents when it comes to the talk of manmade climate change. Yes, he said that. Of course they changed the term “global warming” to “climate change” since it is getting cooler, but with the same agenda. It’s as if the Earth never changed temperatures before. According to any scientist, the Earth has gone through much more drastic changes in climate than what we’ve been going through lately. Were the Romans responsible for global warming by making metal for shields?

The whole reason for the government wanting climate change legislation is for power. Former czar Van Jones did a speech saying green jobs was a way to spread the wealth. You can find that on Youtube with no problem I’m sure. There is a link below to an audio clip of him saying this. Still, that is not the purpose for climate change legislation. Any program such as healthcare, bailouts, or green legislation is for the government to increase in power. Last year when Bush was still in office, Henry Paulson twisted the arms of banks that didn’t want to take government money in that TARP bill to take it. That is according to many bank officials themselves. The government wanted their fingers in that money. Obama has taken it a step further. Obama reluctantly let the banks pay back the TARP money but put a clause that if the government felt troubled by our financial institutions that the government would again take control over them to prevent a crisis. The government does not want to keep their hands out of that cookie jar. That is just one bill. What about cap and trade? Obama spoke about his cap and trade program where he said, and I quote “energy prices would NECESSARILY skyrocket… and the energy companies would then pass that onto the consumer.” I have a link below to this as well so you can see him saying it yourself. With our economy in utter shambles right now, why would he want to cause us to pay more over an unproven and contentious issue at best? Redistribution of wealth or the growing of government and world governments coming together? You make the call.

This is a history lesson for the future. Whenever governments try to “spread the wealth”, it is only a mantra that would cause the masses to flock to their cause. In no case ever in any other government in the world’s history was wealth ever spread. In every case in any other government in the world’s history the poor stayed poor and the rich stayed rich because the rich played ball with the government. They got behind the government’s quest for power so they kept their money. As a matter of fact, in every case the amount of poor people rose in those countries. Poverty grew in every case. The ONLY “intended” outcome was more government power. This is the true agenda behind this thing we call global warming. Don’t gloss over that word “global” either. Global government is where we are headed. Combatting climate change is the easiest way to bring this together.

It would seem that someone might point out that no socialist government eradicated poverty. Since the impoverished grew along with the government, the people had less power. A bigger government then becomes a fascist government eager to squash voices of dissent. You can’t question an overbearing government and get away with it. If you have your ear pointed the right way, you can hear that happening in our very own country right now. Actually, if you can’t hear it you might want to listen to Lee Majors and get a hearing aid.

Man causing global warming is a scam, and it’s intent is not to spread the wealth. It is to make government bigger and stronger,  since there is no example of a government spreading the wealth in human history. It would be better if the government took the money of the rich and directly handed it to the poor. That’s still wrong, but that would be better than grabbing the money and making programs intent on wasting the money away since the waste goes in their pockets. That’s right. Either they or the ones that back them get the money that is wasted. Where do you think the money goes? Your money. You’ve been had if you believed the government was truly trying to combat climate change. It can’t be done. Unless we blow up the Sun, we cannot combat climate change. It has happened in the Earth’s history over and over again. You’ve been had if you think the government had an innocent agenda. Power is a snowball rolling down a hill. It only gets bigger over time. And since it’s “global” warming, the scam is also global.

What does the Bible teach? Global government and people being delivered to their deaths for their beliefs. It also does say that a vial will be poured upon the Sun which would make the Earth feel very warm. That will happen in the not too distant future. We have been cooling. We will soon be warming. Maybe then the government will convince enough people that something must be done to combat the warming. Even though nothing can be done, the governments of the world will not be able to squander that opportunity.

**UPDATE**

It seems a hacker broke into the email account of the head of Britain’s top Climatology Research Unit, Phil Jones. The emails were confirmed by Jones himself as being authentic, and tried to explain away what was written. Of course the elite media doesn’t want to go anywhere near this, but the emails show collusion with other climatologists who are pushing forth manmade climate change to doctor statistics so it looks like the Earth is still warming. The emails exchanged showed how they “tricked”, deleted, or completely left out data. Jones spoke of “hiding the decline” in one email, as well as telling others to erase correspondance to remove evidence of their collusion. Jones was even celebratory over the death of manmade climate change critic John Daly, saying it was “good news”. The emails are genuine, and the story is all over the net. A link will be provided below. Why would they need to cook the books? Who else was involved? Well there’s a list of those that contacted them, including the World Wildlife Fund telling them to ”beef it up (reports of  temperatures) if possible”. This is what the governments of the world are funding, ladies and gentlemen. There is a reason why the governments are only funding these types of scientists. There is a reason why they defund and ostricize scientists that don’t go along with the global warming scam. There’s a reason for Obama wanting cap and trade during an economy like this. Wake up!

**Another Update**

The UN has admitted to two critical errors in just the last several days over their contention of manmade climate change. They admitted that the finding of a scientist about the Himalayan glaciers melting was incorrect. The scientist admitted that he was just making a projection while not using any scientific data to arrive to his conclusion. Wait, that’s not all. The UN has also admitted that the findings of the World Wildlife Fund over the Amazon rain forest fires were due to global warming were also incorrect. Yep, that’s the same WWF that insisted that the British CRU to cook the books when it comes to manmade global warming. The same WWF that puts those commercials about the polar bears needing help from the melting ice up north, even though that the new data shows the numbers of polar bears are increasing. Wake up, people. You’ve been had.

REVEALING THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people think that Revelation is the hardest set of chapters to understand in the entire Bible. Actually that is untrue. To understand to its fullest extent, Romans 11 is by far the hardest because in order to understand it, you must get to the end of nearly every mystery of God to recognize it’s all really written there in Romans 11. There is no way to fully understand Romans 11 to its full extent by reading it until after you’ve understood what we’re all doing here. Why are we in this human flesh. Why God gave us instincts and then made laws to go against them. Why Jesus is the foundation of this age. How old our souls really are. And finally, who Ba’al truly was. Faith is a work. Showing faith is a good work. Being unfaithful is a bad work. The election of grace were not chosen for any work they’ve done in this life, therefore there must be more to the picture to Ba’al than most know. Refer all those with Jeremiah 1:5 and see what you come up with. It also shows that they did not show their faith in this life, or else it would be called “the election of work”, not grace. How can a person that has lived be referred to as “reserved” from God’s point of view? There is Elijah and Enoch, who never died for God took them, but that’s just two men. Those 7000 did not show their faith in this life. That is why Paul stated on his own to clarify afterward that grace is grace. Not work. The election of grace were chosen before this age started. Again, use Jeremiah 1:5 as a reference. Showing faith in this life is a work, but the election of grace were chosen not for any work in this life, but I digress. Now onto Revelation. Some people say that no one is allowed to understand Revelation. Apocalypse means “reveal”, so why would it be called “revelation” if you weren’t allowed understand it? Here is the most comprehensive blog I’ve written about Revelation.

Jesus speaks against five of the seven churches of Christ. One of those churches he speaks against he threatens to remove altogether. That is the church of Ephesus. How that will be done is it will cease from being a Christian church and turn into the synagogue of Satan. The only two he finds no fault in are the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna. These churches don’t exist yet. Why I know that is the churches that were established in those two places weren’t new types of churches. The church of Philadelphia will ONLY be attended by the election of grace. Only they will not be here during the hour of temptation. The church of Smyrna will be attended by those who believe the doctrine of the church of Philadelphia to be true. They will be here for the hour of temptation, but their faith will be stronger than those of any other denomination.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are these: the white horse, the black horse, the red horse, and the pale horse. The rider of the white horse is the Beast. The Beast is the Antichrist human being. A human with the spirit of Satan inside him. He will go forth conquering the world peacefully coming to “save the day”. The rider of the black horse had a pair of balances in his hand. A voice was heard saying “a measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny; see you hurt not the oil and the wine.” This is a plague of great economic woe. A penny is what we would term as a poor working man’s daily wage, as was written in Matthew 20. What it basically says is that it would take a good portion of a working man’s daily wage to be able to buy a loaf of bread. Before thinking this is impossible, think of when the Soviet Union fell. People were lining up to pay the equivilant to $20 for a loaf of bread. Where it says “see you hurt not the oil and the wine” could really have been written anywhere in Revelation. If the price on everything goes up, then so would actual oil and wine, right? Why it’s there is so it gets you to ask “what does that mean then?” What do you do with oil besides cook with it, religiously speaking? You anoint with it. What happens to grape juice during the process of fermentation? Not only does it turn into alcohol, but the impurities come out. What it really says is “see you hurt not the anointed and the pure”. Before casting that doctrine away, consider Psalm 105:15 which says “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” Looks like an exact match to me. The rider of the red horse is really like Murphy’s Law. What can go wrong will go wrong. War, famine, pestilence will be more widespread than perhaps ever before in our age. The rider of the red horse really envelopes much of what is continued in Revelation. The rider of the pale horse is Satan himself. The Antichrist human will die in the midst of the Tribulation Period. He will seemingly rise three days later, but it will not be him. It will be Satan in his angelic flesh. Satan’s name is Death, and Hell will follow him.

The harlot is the revived Roman Empire. The Beast will come from the revived Roman Empire as is written in Daniel 4 and 7. The fourth empire to come will break up and reform. That empire was the Roman Empire. The revival of the Roman Empire will start with ten nations. The eleventh will be the one where the Antichrist will come from. If we are in the last days, the revived Roman Empire could only be the European Union. The EU’s eleventh nation was either Portugal or Spain since they came in at the same time. If the EU is this revival, then the Antichrist will come from Spain or Portugal. This is how the Beast will ride the harlot for a period of time. They will put him in power.

The first day of the great Tribulation Period will be the opposite of what most think of it to be. The tribulation will last seven years. Only for the elect will it be less. The Antichrist in Daniel 9 confirms a peace covenant with many nations that will last for seven years. That is no coincidence. The first day of the tribulation will be the day he confirms the covenant. There will be joyous celebration instead of a day of horror like most think. The human race will think they have evolved from a warmongering species and that we can solve any problem through negotiation. During the next few years, tensions will build to a fever pitch and then war will break out once again. Then Hell will be upon Earth. What I mean by “war will break out once again” is our species only comes with peace covenants after war. That’s the way we are. Peace covenants never come from a time of peace, but only from war. There will be a war involving many nations before the confirming of the peace covenant.

Much of what is written in Revelation is written somewhere in the Old Testament in the books of the prophets, especially Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the minor prophets. For example, Revelation 18 goes directly with Jeremiah 50-51. Part of the reason why Revelation is so difficult is because it’s so concise. In the older prophetical books, the prophecies are written in greater detail and length. John of Patmos couldn’t do that or Revelation would be one huge book. Also nothing in Revelation has happened yet. Don’t let anyone fool you otherwise. Reveal… do you reveal the past or the future? The reason why most of it is written in the past tense is because John of Patmos was taken to the future, so to him it was the past. Not our past. When he says that he saw those things, it’s because he saw those things. The last few chapters of Revelation deal with what’s written in Ezekiel 40-48, which deals with the next age and beyond. As is written in the original Greek, when Jesus returns that ends this age. Not the world.

When Satan is kicked down to Earth, he comes with those aligned with him. The fallen angels are the plague of locusts that will have power to torment men for five months, outside those with the seal of God in their foreheads (the 144,000 Jews). Their master is Apollyon, which is another name for the Devil. Those five months will be the last five months, and will be known as the hour of temptation. How they will torment men will be to spiritually torment men. It will be the sounding of the seventh and last trump that the mystery of God will be finished. All will know who God is. They’ll also know Jesus is the Messiah. They’ll know the Bible is genuinely God’s word. They’ll know who Satan is. Even with knowing all of that and the mystery being finished, men will still fail to a great extent. Every human weakness will be magnified by the plagues, and Satan with his fallen angels will play on those weaknesses brilliantly. Even though men will know it will be wrong, to seemingly save their lives they will lose them by failing God. That will fulfill a prophecy Jesus made that those who will seek to save their lives will lose it, and those who will lose it for his name’s sake will find life everlasting. The plague of the locusts really is about testing one’s resolve and will to hold onto what is right when it will be so difficult to do so. The stronger your faith, the easier it will be. Paul said it best when he said in Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,” “Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If you hold onto that, you’ll be fine if we are in the last days. If your flight be in winter, meaning too late (a reference when birds fly south), then it’s going to be incredibly difficult. If you are with child and give suck in those days, meaning you are still eating the food of babes instead of eating the word of God as an adult, then it will be most difficult for you.

Imagine that, even knowing what to do and what not to do many men will still fail even knowing their souls are on the line. I think it says everything about men, especially highminded Bill Maher-types that it will take the seventh trump before the mystery of God is finished for them. Not any of the other plagues before it coming true like it is written, or the prophets doing miraculous things is good enough for them. It will take the last trump for them. And with them in mind, when it is all over the Song of Moses will be sung which in part shows how the highminded were the real fools. Only a real fool will call a faithful Christian a fool but not consider the Lord that put this creation upon the Earth. The Song of Moses is very apt for the end. Is this the true end? No, it’s not.

After this age ends, a new one will begin. If you don’t take in Jesus’ return ends this age, Revelation 20 cannot be made sense of. I’ve heard some whacky doctrine about Revelation, like it’s already happened. If it has, I’d love to see this bottomless pit. I’d like to know how late God is on His schedule since it was only supposed to last a thousand years. That’s a thousand years off so far. If you take in that Jesus’ return ends this age and begins a new one, then and only then can Revelation 20 be made sense of. Satan will be in the bottomless pit for a thousand years while Jesus returns with his saints. In the eyes of God, a saint is just a faithful Christian as is written in Ephesians 1:1. Paul addressed his epistle to the saints which are at Ephesus. If there was one saint upon Earth, then anyone who has passed with their faith intact has to be a saint since Jesus said that there is no one on Earth better than the lowest in heaven. Try to explain that away. Not only does Satan stay imprisoned in the bottomless pit and Jesus reigns on Earth for a thousand years, but the “dead” don’t live until the thousand years are up. Another thing traditional teachers can’t explain. As I pointed out earlier, much of what’s written in Revelation is written more in depth in the books of the prophets. The dead that lived not again until the thousand years goes with Ezekiel 44:25 where the dead are kept inside the temple. Only direct members of the dead’s family are allowed to visit them inside the temple, which should make you realize a few things. One, the dead aren’t actually corpses. Why would families come and visit corpses? How would the corpses be gathered, right? Two, the temple written in Ezekiel’s late chapters is not a temple made by men. What temple ever in history ever held anything that can even be termed as “the dead”? And finally, the temple is really a prison for the dead until the thousand years is over. The dead are those who made the wrong choice in this life. Once that thousand years is over, Satan is released from his prison and the dead are released from the temple. Satan tries to deceive the world once again. Those who follow him try to make war with the saints, but God stops them and ends that age. Those who follow Satan then will forever be judged against. The books are opened and judgment is given to all. The righteous are given their gifts while the damned receive their damnation. Everyone will know what the right choice will be, just as they will at the end of this age. No excuses. When you know something is right, you better do everything you can to hold onto it. Ultimately, it’s all we have you know. We came into this world with our souls and our souls only, and we will leave with our souls only. You can’t take with you money, jewelry, clothes, houses, cars, playstation 3’s, iPhones, or hdtv’s. All you will have is you and what you’ve done. For the sake of your soul, always strive to do what’s right. Even Christians will have their works tested, and that will be judged upon permanently as well. If you know something is right, then it should be worth everything to you to do it. There maybe more at stake than just your soul and well being. Others can hang in the balance.I hope you have learned something here. God bless.

DOES ISRAEL BELONG TO THE JEWS?

There are many instances in the OT that can be interpreted to say that God will bring His people back to the land of their fathers. Some can interpret that as something that already happened when they were captive in Babylon and then returned. There are some things written however that cannot be argued against about the people of Israel rightfully having that land, which I will get to.

God sent forth His prophets, namely Isaiah and Jeremiah to warn the people of Israel to stop their sin of unfaithfulness and repent or else they will be taken away. He also threatened in the minor prophets that He will pour out a new spirit amongst the Gentiles, which will provoke them to jealousy. A Gentile is anyone non-Jewish. The people of Israel heard not any of His warnings and so they were taken to Babylon. They did return, but when God sent His Messiah, Israel heard him not. The Gentiles turned their ear to Christ with a new spirit. Israel was blinded to an extent, but with a promise that He will pour His spirit back onto them before the end.

One verse that cannot be argued against was spoken by Jesus himself. Luke 21:24 says in the last days, Jerusalem will be trodden down of the Gentiles until the Gentiles times be fulfilled. If you believe in Jesus, you aimless Christians that don’t believe that land belongs to the Jews, then explain that verse from the lips of Jesus? Not only does Israel belong to the Jews, but so does Jerusalem specifically. That is significant since Israel and Jerusalem weren’t established Jewish territories at the same time. Israel became a nation once again held by the Jews in 1948, after 2500 years. Jerusalem was taken by the Jews in the Six Day War in 1967. Since a Gentile is anyone non-Jewish, I don’t want to hear from some Christians that Israel now really means Christian. The house of Israel does include Christians, but that’s not what he said. G-E-N-T-I-L-E-S– Gentiles.

Another thing that’s written is Revelation 12:24 that Satan will come after the woman that beared the man child. The man child of course is Jesus. The woman was Mary, a Jew. I know the Catholic Church with their ego thinks that means it’s THE CHURCH (like there are no others) that Satan is going to go after. What egos. No, Satan will go after the Jews and he will go after them in Israel. How has not any of these great theologians from either of these churches and denominations seemingly not take into account the battle of Armageddon on this subject? Armageddon has to do with a place, not a time. Armageddon comes from the word “Megiddo”. Megiddo is in the valley of Jezreel in northern Israel. The world will come and meet for war at Megiddo. It is written this will be done, right? Why? That’s where the Jews are. That’s where Israel is. Is the Catholic Church in Megiddo? Get it? Just that alone should shoot down any thought that Mary means the Catholic Church.

Just because God made a long lasting but temporary separation of His people (and they will always be His people), it doesn’t mean that He gave that land to anyone else. It doesn’t say anywhere that Arabs can come in and take over the land. As a matter of fact, God made a law for the Jews to not give any of their inheritance to any other nation because God has already given them their lot. The Arabs had their lot, which dwarfs Israel. But because they saw Jerusalem as one of their fifty holy sites, they decided to come in since there were not nearly as many Jews there as was before. The Jews being destined to take back their land and the Arabs coming into a land that wasn’t theirs is what is causing all of the problems. But, perhaps that too was already destined to happen.

If any Christian does not believe that Israel does belong to the Jews, then their Christian faith is in dire straits. If you cannot read Luke 21:24, Revelation 12: 14, and Revelation 16:12-16 … particularly Luke 21:24 since it’s Jesus’ own words, and not take to heart that land belongs to the Jews, then your faith can be taken away by very weak means. For those that look at the Jews and think they still have something coming for any particular reason, then look in the mirror. Perhaps you’ll be one of those zombies coming after the woman that beared the man child in Megiddo.

THE SERPENT THAT BEGUILED EVE

In Genesis 3, it is written that the serpent beguiled Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge. This was forbidden by God. God told them they would surely die if they ate from this tree. The serpent being subtle in his ways said to Eve, “you shall surely not die”. The truth is that she did die, just not then. Death was not possible for them until they ate of that tree. Now was this serpent a snake? Hardly. The serpent was none other than Satan.

In Revelation 20:2, it is written “And he laid hold on the dragon; that old serpent; which is the Devil and Satan and bound him a thousand years.” What was John of Patmos (St. John the Divine) referring to when he said “that old serpent”? He was referring to the serpent written of in Genesis. How would a snake speak to Eve? The serpent was just a metaphor, as was him having to crawl on his belly.

The great mystery, which I cannot go all that far with is what God told Eve and the serpent about their descendents. Read with an open eye and watch it unfold with what happens between Cain and Abel. That’s as far as I can go with that.

Eve helped Adam to sin by eating of the tree of knowledge. They realized they were naked and covered themselves with fig leaves. What was Satan’s purpose in trying to get them to eat of this tree? As is written in the original Greek, Jesus is the foundation of this age, not the world. Therefore he was destined to die for our sins before Adam and Eve sinned. Someone was bound to eat of this tree. Someone was going to break this rule, it just wasn’t supposed to be Adam and Eve. What Satan did was to cause sin and death to come upon our creation before it’s just due time. He wanted to corrupt our creation as early as he could, which he most certainly did. For this, he was punished again. What I mean by that is written in the blog “The Difference Between Lucifer And Satan”.  I’ll leave a link to this blog below.

Obviously a snake didn’t speak to Eve and cause her to eat of the tree of knowledge. Satan was the one to convince her to eat of the tree and had Adam partake in her sin. At that moment, sin and death were invented for our creation.

ARE THERE UFO’S IN THE BIBLE?

This is a question many have. Are there UFO”s written about in the Bible? Actually there are many instances where one can not only say “yes”, but really do point that there are UFO’s in the Bible.

It is written there will be a war in heaven between Michael and his angels against Satan and his fallen angels. After this future war, Satan will be kicked down to Earth. How does that happen? How do angels travel? How will this war be fought? How will Jesus return with his saints to Earth at the end of this age?

When Moses and the Israelites traveled through the wilderness for forty years, God traveled with them in a cloud. Moses saw a burning bush that didn’t consume the bush. Something like that also happened with a craft Ezekiel saw. And what about this craft he saw? The color was amber. The original Hebrew word there for “amber” is pronounced (khash-MAL), which doesn’t mean like a grainy amber color. It really means bronze or polished spectrum metal with an amber hue. It’s shape was the same no matter the viewpoint and traveled by fire.

There are two men who have never died. In looking in Genesis 5 where the generations are listed from Adam to Seth on and on and on, it shows everyone lived to such an age and then died except for one. That one was Enoch. It says Enoch had sons and daughters and lived to such an age but he was not for God took him. Where it says “he was not” replaced “and he died” with every other male descendent of Adam. Elijah was taken up by a whirlwind into heaven after the clouds were parted. Elijah and Enoch will be the two witnesses written of in Revelation that will die and stay in the streets for three days. The third day their bodies will be taken up into heaven when a voice from above says “come up hither”. When Jesus was on Earth, God came from a cloud saying “this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”. Elijah and Moses spoke with Jesus while on Earth as well.

I think with everything that is written, the Bible definitely points out that there are things God and angels alike travel in. These definitely at the very least show the possibility of UFO’s. Are there little green men in these UFO’s? No. Angels? Yes.

MY THANKS TO YOU

Welcome to my site. This is a site mostly aimed at the more advanced student who have come across questions that traditional and denominational teaching either don’t have answers for, or the answers they give are so weak that you can tell they don’t even believe it themselves. I try to seek questions that many would run into and then use scripture to explain what is written while tracing things back to the original Hebrew and Greek when necessary. Many times, this indeed is a necessity. I will use and only use God’s word. I won’t invent any word of my own or some word of denominational doctrine to explain anything away. You won’t get anything here but the word of God. That is my guarantee to you.

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New originally written in Greek. The KJV is the best English translated Bible in existence, but there are many flaws still in it. When you read my posts, you will see there are some mistakes in the KJV, but not as many as the newer translations. Many times in the newer translations, it seems they would rather look like they’ve done work in updating the Bible than to just update it. They took words written in the KJV that were perfectly fine in the original Hebrew and Greek and then changed them for the sake of changing them which totally loses the correct meaning.

I use a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to do this, and have used it for over a decade now. It’s the second most important book written unless you know Hebrew and Greek. It has every single word written in the KJV, everytime each words shows up, catalogues them and references them to the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back for a pure word of God. No mistranslations. No preaching. No excuses. Unless you know Hebrew and Greek and have both testaments in those languages, then I highly recommend the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to you. Just by using this book with a KJV Bible, many questions will be answered.

I do not belong to any denomination and I do not go to church. I’m not against going to church, but I recommend to all to read on your own. I do fine on my own using my trusty Strong’s. All must be willing to ask questions that do come up in your mind from time to time. You all know what I mean. Even if you don’t want to think about those questions, you have them. Do not push them away. Challenge denominational, common knowledge, and traditional doctrine. Challenge yourself. There are answers out there. Not some half-witted explanations that they’re not even expecting you to buy. I mean real answers. I hope I am helping with that.

In recent months, the volume of visits has gone up significantly. For what my site is, being rather unique, I am humbled at this. I would love more questions and comments, but maybe I’m doing a good job of explaining these subjects. I hope that’s the case. Thanks to WordPress, I can see what word searches lead you to finding my site. Some really impress me quite a bit. Many come by simply being inquisitve enough to ask what is the difference between Lucifer and Satan on your searches. Some searches shows true diligence with a keen, perceptive eye for the word. Some even show me that it takes a special soul in order for them to put the certain words they have used.

All in all, I thank you for coming to my site. If I’m doing a good job, then spread it around. I always welcome questions as long as they’re asked respectfully. Even if the questions you have aren’t from anything I’ve written, I am ready to answer them. One thing good about the internet, you can ask me questions anonymously. I make sure the answers I give and the posts I write about bear my name. I’ve worked hard in understanding the word of God and I’m proud to put my name on it. Thanks for stopping by and you’re welcome to subscribe.
