Christian Churches of God - Sabbath Message

This New Moon Message deals with the Wars of the End and the Vials of the Wrath of God. It will constitute the basis of paper No 141B.

Following on from Last Sabbath where we dealt with the recapitulation of the Seven Seals (No. 140) and the Seven Trumpets (No. 141) we saw that the Seven Seals and Seven Trumpets were ongoing and overlapping to a significant level. We also saw that the wars of the Fifth and the Sixth Trumpet logically had to occur before the coming of the Messiah. Indeed those wars are in the process of being developed now and will involve the wars of the Kings of the North and South as prophesied in Daniel 11:40ff. We have also seen that the last Empire of the Beast was prophesied to be the Empire of the Ten Toes in Daniel chapter 2. That empire is the last of the Babylonian system and will be destroyed by Christ at his return. From then God’s system under Christ will be established and last for the prophesied thousand years of Revelation chapter 20 and then go into the Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B).

As we saw, the wars of the Fifth and the Sixth Trumpet have to occur before the Advent of the Messiah. In fact from the structure of Revelation and the Books of Daniel and Jeremiah it appears that they have to occur before the coming of the Two Witnesses who are to stand in Jerusalem before the God of this earth for 1260 days and then lie in the streets for 3.5 days before being resurrected at the advent (see the papers The Witnesses including the Two Witnesses (No. 135) and the Advent of the Messiah Part I (No. 210A).

The build up to the Empire of the Beast had to involve the pitting of the King of the South to push at the King of the North. This push occurred in 2001. The next step in this Empire of the Beast was the creation of the financial crisis that forced the collapse and restructuring of the world’s finances to force the creation of the Empire of the Beast and the military power and control of the King of the North. That system in these last days is the NATO system with its HQ in Brussels. The Global Financial Crisis was engineered to occur from 2007 and then collapse again at the end of 2012, beginning of 2013 and then be reorganised as a bureaucratic economic order in ten regions above national sovereignty organised over the nations within those ten regions. These people in 2013 will willingly cede their sovereignty to this Empire of the Beast.

To do that it was necessary to have the Fundamentalist Islamic system reorganised as per the prophecies of Daniel where the Seven Times or 2520 years of the Babylonian system (605-525 BCE to 1916-1996) had to occur and then the time of the Gentiles come to an end. That was explained in the papers concerning The Fall of Egypt: The Prophecy of Pharaohs Broken Arms (No. 036)and the Fall of Egypt Part II: The Wars of the End (No. 36_2)). From 1997 the system for the New World Order was set in place and progressively implemented. This period was the last thirty years represented by the thirty days at the Exodus of the Mourning for Moses. The previous thirty years were represented by the thirty days of the Mourning for Aaron from 1967 at the beginning of the Heavenly Signs and the recapture of Jerusalem. The forty years from the Exodus in the wilderness represented the Forty Jubilees of the Church in the wilderness from the declaration and establishment of the church in 27 CE to the Jubilee in 2027 being two thousand years. The Jubilee of 2027 is the end of the rule of Satan and the demons and the end of their false religious system of the Sun and Mystery Cults. Satan and the demons will be confined to the Bottomless pit before 2027 and their confinement will be for the thousand years until the end of the Millennium when they will again be released to deceive the nations to march against Christ and the elect at Jerusalem (Rev. 20:7-10).

That period of 2000 years or forty jubilees is explained in the texts of Revelation 12 where the conflict developed between Satan and Michael, and Satan was thrown down and he set out to persecute and destroy the elect. The woman and her seed were sent into the wilderness and the earth protected the woman for a time and times and a half a time which was the Empire of the Feet of Iron and Clay of the Holy Roman Empire which lasted from 590 CE to 1850, as we have previously explained.

In Revelation chapter 12 we see the conflict of Christ and Satan and then the persecution of the woman who gave birth to the male child. This was the Church of God resident in the nation of Judah and Levi which was the residue of the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel was the birthright of the Messiah from which he would be born (cf. Deut. 32:8ff.). The Woman was the birthright nations forming the Israel of God, the nucleus of which was the prophets of God. The women and the prophets form the Churches of God over the Forty Jubilees in the Wilderness from 27 CE to 2027 CE. They were to go through these 1260 prophetic days/years mentioned in this text. The period shows the build up to the birth of the Messiah and then his death and his ascension into heaven. This sequence is broken into two parts in chapter 12 involving the persecution of the church by Satan. The two periods of 1260 days indicate we are dealing with the period of the 1260-year days as is standard for prophecy and also the second sequence is a time, times and half a time (1260 days). This is repeated indicating two periods of type-antitype distinct from one another in the period of the persecution. The first part was when the church and also Judah were taken into the wilderness. The nation was dispersed also and persecuted for it. It was still the inheritance of the Messiah and in its loins ran the genes of the future sons of God under Christ. But they were not to be called as yet. Many of them are in fact Gentiles, and not Jews or Levites, and they also depend on Christ for salvation.

Many of the descendants of Israel and offspring of David were hidden in the lineages of the Gentiles. The Celts and Anglo-Saxons of Europe and the British Isles contain the offspring of Israel and the females have intermarried to the extent that these nations are the offspring of Israel and many are the offspring of the family of Christ. These are the Desposyni, or those belonging to the Lord, which the religious system of the whore failed to eradicate (see the paper The Genetic Origin of the Nations (No. 265) and also the papers associated with them and The Virgin Mariam and the Family of Jesus Christ (No. 232)).

After the second period of 1260 days we see the war is made on the rest of the offspring of the woman. They are those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony or faith of Jesus (KJV). The RSV says bear testimony to Jesus but that is not the sense of the text. The Concordant Literal NT renders the text as “who have the Testimony of Jesus.” Marshall’s Greek English Interlinear renders the Greek as: “and having the witness of Jesus,” which is the actual meaning, as also rendered by the Concordant Literal NT. Revelation 14:12 identifies the elect as those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus which is identical with the Concordant rendering in Revelation 12:17.

The next period of intense persecution occurred from the Third Reich under Hitler. The camp system all over Europe saw the Sabbatarians persecuted all over Europe together with the followers of Judaism and many other groups and peoples. The Jehovah’s Witness system was also caught up in it but it was not specifically directed at them. That persecution lasted from 1941 to 1944 and the wholesale murders ended in Europe with the defeat of Nazi Germany and the cessation of persecution in Western Europe, but the next phase began and the system under Satan continued the persecution of the saints in Eastern Europe into the gulags of Siberia. That persecution is ongoing and has never stopped under the world’s religious system. The aim is to suppress the faith and the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and ultimately destroy the church and all in it. If Christ did not return to save humanity there would be no flesh left alive. Christ returns to save those who eagerly await him. That includes those who are sincerely deceived by the satanic system but nevertheless rest their hopes on the return of the Messiah.
The persecution continues up until the end. Satan and his religious system will try to eliminate the entire elect predestined by the calling of God. These people include both those who are Jews and Levites and the other Semites now who say they are Jews but are not, and all the Gentiles now part of the Religion of Judaism, but who are Gentiles, and the majority of whom are not even Semites. These people are especially vulnerable because they are not yet baptised into the body of Christ and so are able to be killed unless they are set aside to be called into the Church of God. The major part of the people that are intended to be destroyed are the other nations of Israel that are not part of Judah or Levi and are scattered over the world. These are by far the major part of the Nation of Israel.

[1] And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; [2] she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery. [3] And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. [4] His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; [5] she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, [6] and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. [7] Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, [8] but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world -- he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. [11] And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. [12] Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!" [13] And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male child. [14] But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. [15] The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood. [16] But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth. [17] Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

Note that the Devil or Satan who accuses us day and night before God is confined to the earth and he set about trying to destroy the elect who are specifically those who keep the commandments of God and the faith or testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev. 12:17; 14:12). You cannot be one of the elect unless you keep the commandments of God – ALL of them. It is these who were persecuted over the rule of Satan under the Mystery and Sun Cults from 590-1850 and subsequently until the coming of the Messiah. The last phase is under the Empire of the Beast.
The system of the Last Days also has a dual system that is of the body of Satan and involves the Fallen Host and the devotees of Satan and their current rulership of the earth. These people will try to destroy all the people who form part of the nations of Israel and to do that they must set up a world system that is capable of total control and of being able to force a general worship of Satan and his system. Most of the devotees of Satan do not understand they will die were it not for the intervention of Christ in these end days.

We see that this system is described as a beast and it is worshipped because the Dragon has given it his power and throne and great authority. Because of the power that he was able to bestow, the people of this system worshipped the Red Dragon who had taken a third of the Host with him and they had been cast to the earth with him also.

[1] And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. [2] And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. [3] One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. [4] Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?" [5] And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months; [6] it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

Note that this Beast was given power by the Dragon who is Satan and the whole world in this last phase worships both the Dragon and the Beast and they blaspheme God and necessarily establish the false religion of Satan and then make war on the Saints and overcome them as we now see.

[7] Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation, [8] and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain. [9] If any one has an ear, let him hear: [10] If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

Over this period there will be captivity and the elect shall be persecuted. However, they will not have finished fleeing through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes (Mat. 10:23).

[11] Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. [12] It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. [13] It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men; [14] and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived; [15] and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. [16] Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, [17] so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. [18] This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Satan then created the Beast of Revelation 13 and gave his power to it for this final battle. The religious system was created to effect that power.

This sequence is also tied into the OT prophecies in Daniel especially that of chapter 2 and subsequently where we see the image of gold carry on through the empires of the Babylonians, the Medes and Persians, the Greeks and their subsidiaries. Each successive level is an extension of the Babylonian system and has nothing to do with the religions they espouse. The legs of iron were the Roman Empire which split into two parts in East and West ruled from Rome and Constantinople, and on into the Holy Roman Empire which replaced it. This religious system was the feet of iron and clay and that empire lasted until 1850 in power even though it had been disbanded by Napoleon in 1809. It was reconstituted in 1815 and lasted in power until 1850 with the revolutions and was finally disbanded completely in 1872. It then was dormant but conspired with the nations of Europe to destroy the seed of the woman and is still doing so.

The ten toes are part of that system but its system arises in the Last Days as a new system having both iron and clay but it is more diverse and, as the toes are smaller, its empire is of lesser duration. This offshoot of the Holy Roman Empire, which at its base was a religious system committing fornication with the kings of the earth under the rule of Satan, was the Babylonian religious system and controlled the world as did the Roman and Holy Roman system before it. It emerged in WWII under Hitler as a quasi-Pagan system using the European religious structure of both Catholic and Protestant. It was nearly successful but not quite. The formal structure of the Beast was not to be allowed to rule so early as it would have eliminated all people unless Messiah was sent at that early stage. That would have meant an equally long period at the end of the Millennium and that meant too much damage then. Thus he was not allowed to bring this last Empire of the Beast into fruition until these Last Days.

That time is now upon us. We are in the time of Revelation 13. The Empire of the Beast is being formed and given power. The power is formed in two ways. First a Regional system is formed. The Last King of the North in the Book of Daniel is formed out of the Empire of the Ten Toes. That occurs after the weakening and taking over of the US system by its pagan satanic societies. It is headed by the European Union which was centred on the Club of Rome formed from March 1957.

The 50 years (or one jubilee) of that system ended at Passover 2007. It then began to emerge from the financial chaos of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The last nation in Europe ratified the Lisbon Treaty when Czechoslovakia signed. The British people may well refuse to join and withdraw.

The regionalisation requires the US to become part of a North American Union. To that end, power has been given to the Chinese communists by the Satanist in the American administration. Carter transferred effective control of the Panama Canal and the Chinese now are establishing bases for armed forces in Panama. Key intelligence was transferred to them by Clinton. His wife is now US Secretary of State.

After regionalisation there must be overall governmental control of the nations by a group. This governmental system is being established now. It is covered under the guise of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The New World Order which is the biblical Empire of the Beast of the Last Days is using the fictitious doctrine that human activity is causing Global Warming when it is a known fact that Global Warming is cyclical in nature and occurs every 1000 years or so and lasts for approximately five centuries and then cools down again (see the paper Global Warming: Historical Cycles (No. 218B). The scientific community is guilty of gross misconduct and deception in their handling of the science of this issue in all aspects of the argument. Philosophers are even worse in their spineless acquiescence to this opportunistic lie. It is this Environmental Movement which rests on the doctrines of demons of vegetarianism and the forbidding of marriage to destroy the family that is the new religion of the New World Order. It is founded on lies and the doctrines of demons (see the paper The Doctrines of Demons of the Last Days (No. 48) and also Vegetarianism and the Bible (No. 183)).

The whore and her harlot daughters will attempt to use this Religion of Environmentalism and its evolutionary basis but will finally be destroyed by it and the political structure of the Beast. The entire treaty is aimed at setting up this new organisation and to control the financial cash flows and indeed compel them by forcing the developed countries to pay an adaptation debt to developing countries to allegedly support climate change mitigation. Clause 33 (p. 39) says that “by 2020 the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be [at least $67 billion] or [in the range of $70 billion to $140 billion per year]” They will raise the money from the developed countries such as US, Australia, Britain and Canada by such means as option 7 on page 135, which provides for “a [global] levy of 2 per cent on international financial market [monetary] transaction to Annex I parties.” Annex I countries are the industrialised countries. They hope to get the UN majority of the developing countries to sign the treaty and then use the UN committee to force the regulations on the developed nations that are stupid enough to sign the treaty. Once signed no one can get out of it unless every single signatory agrees, which will be impossible.

This is the New World Order of the Government or Empire of the Beast. The whole world will give their power to this Beast. It will be controlled behind the scenes by a financial cartel of Reserve Banks and no nation will be able to control its own financial destiny or sovereignty.

In addition there will be a concerted attempt to eradicate massive numbers of people by using the toxins and virus contamination of the earth.

Also, four of the most powerful angels of the Fallen Host confined to the earth and the pit at present are to be released in order to kill a third of mankind. These are the Morning Stars of the Fallen Host. We will deal with these aspects later.

This empire is foretold by Scripture, both OT and NT, and Scripture cannot be broken (Jn. 10:34-35). There is only one way out of it and that is through the maelstrom. Every single person who takes this mark and is part of this system will die. It is the final division of the earth into two systems, one of God and the other of Baal or Satan (see the paper Mark of the Beast (No. 25)).

The politicians of the United States and the British Commonwealth are stupid enough to think they can control this Beast and be part of its elite governing system. The aim is quite the reverse. The aim of the last Babylonian system is to eradicate the people of God and all the seed of the woman and that includes them, and they are too stupid to realise it.

What will result from this Empire will be total world war. At the time of the end the King of the South shall attack him. Fundamentalist Islam controlling Egypt and the Middle East is the King of the South now. The King of the North (NATO) will ultimately be forced to attack the Fundamentalists. The occupation of the Middle East will continue even into Jerusalem. Very soon now the final phase of the “News from the East and North” will alarm this King of the North and it will go out to utterly destroy many. This event is the final phase of WWIII. One third of mankind will be killed in this war.

This war is the war of the Sixth Trumpet which follows on from the War of the Fifth Trumpet which is the First Woe. These two elements are the First and Second Woes.

The situation is being set up now where Fundamentalist Islam is emerging in Egypt and North Africa to Syria, Iraq, Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. The Islamists in disguise in or those now acting openly in Europe will force the NATO powers to invade the Middle East and consolidate its powers. That is happening from the last stages of the sacred year 2012-2013. This conflict will be forced by the deployment of the bio-chemical weapons of Syria and the development of nuclear weapons in Iran. U.S. intelligence reports indicate that Syria possesses the nerve agents sarin and tabun as well as traditional chemical weapons like mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. The CIA reports also stated that Syria “is developing the more toxic and persistent nerve agent VX,” which is more persistent than sarin and tabun and capable of rendering an area – or a city – uninhabitable “for some days.” Experts consider it is certain that Syria has already developed VX and Israeli experts agree.

In 1982 the Syrian Allowite regime responded to the uprising of the Muslim Brotherhood by surrounding the homes of all sympathisers and pumping cyanide gas into the houses killing everyone inside them. They then publicly announced they had killed them. This time the now copious chemical weapons have been moved and prepared for use. The Assad regime will use them and the Opposition rebels will also not only use them but will make them available to the Muslim Brotherhood for use by the Fundamentalists and Al Qaeda all over Europe and the USA and the Western Countries.

Men pray to die because of the effects of the agents in their nervous systems but the majority away from the direct weapons but exposed to the toxins will not die immediately.

Fundamentalists will force the burning of Rome, Paris, London and their major cities. Europe will be forced to consolidate and enter the Middle East and take over and control Egypt, Lybia, and down to Ethiopia and the Sudan and the nations of the Middle East expanding into the North.

The attempted genocide of Israel by the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Middle East will also force conflict through the war of the Fifth Trumpet. The reactions from the Islamic countries throughout the world aided by Russia will see that biochemical war escalate into the War of the Sixth Trumpet when over one third of the world or 2.3 billion people will die and that conflict will result in further pestilence and death accounting for almost a quarter of the earth’s population. Aswan will be bombed and the Nile blocked in Uganda and the Sudan and the Nile will dry up in accordance with prophecy. The Euphrates is already drying into small channels and the Swamps are drained. The Kings of the East will walk over this land on their march to Megiddo against Messiah.

The conflicts will occur and escalate over the period from Adar 2013 to the coming of the Two Witnesses. The NATO forces will exterminate untold millions and then return to the Middle East and establish the HQ of the occupation force from Gaza to Jerusalem, and the Government of the Beast will be established there for 42 months. That period coincides with the 1260 days of the Witnesses (see the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses) (No. 135)). These two are Elijah and Enoch that stand before the god of this earth. God has stated through Malachi that He will send Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord (Mal. 4:5-6). The only other person who was taken by God and who did not die was Enoch and the church has held this doctrine for 2000 years except for a short period in the twentieth century.

It is from the mouth of these two that the devastation of the trumpets reaches fruition as they cause the third of the earth’s trees and waters and rivers to burn up and turn to blood as they prophesy and correct the false religious systems of the earth. They will preach directly at the servants of Baal. They will attack the Khemarim or the black cassocked priests of the Babylonian system. They will teach the world how corrupt and false the Sunday worshipping and Mystery Cults are and they will punish the adherents for their false religion and Sunday worship and festivals of Christmas and Easter. That will include the Rabbinical Jews and Kabbalists who themselves follow the Babylonian Calendar with its false intercalations brought into Judaism by them and established by R. Hillel II in 358 CE. The followers of this system will try to kill these two but they will not succeed until the days of their prophecy are ended. Then the Witnesses will be killed and lie in the streets of Jerusalem for 3.5 days until the Heavenly Host take up their positions with Messiah on the Mount of Olives, which splits in two.

The First Resurrection of the Dead then occurs under Messiah and all those who have kept the commandments of God and the testimony or faith of Messiah will be taken with him to Jerusalem and there they will be allocated their positions and their powers as spirit beings as part of the Army of God.

[1] Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. [2] And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps, [3] and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. [4] It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, [5] and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless. [6] Then I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; [7] and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water." [8] Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion." [9] And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, [10] he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. [11] And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name." [12] Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. [13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!" [14] Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe." [16] So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. [17] And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. [18] Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe." [19] So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God; [20] and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia.

The first thing Messiah does is resurrect the elect and then they send out the eternal gospel and proclaim it throughout the earth.

It had begun to be proclaimed in accordance with Scripture by the Church of God in the last days which constitutes the last or Philadelphian era under the voice of the Church from Dan/Ephraim as we saw from Jeremiah 4:15. The church was persecuted all over the world for many years before and during that period. The truth of the gospel was preached from Jerusalem by the Witnesses until they were killed and then at the arrival of Messiah it was preached throughout the world and then the harvest of the earth began to be reaped. Those who then persisted in the Babylonian system and worshipped the false religion of the Beast and its Sunday worship and festivals, and their variations, were then killed under the Laws of God whose nexus had been restored with the Witnesses.

Those who did not obey Christ and the elect of God were then dealt with systematically. There will be no negotiation with Christ. The world will obey God or die. The false religion of Satan and the Babylonian system of the Sun and Mystery Cults are over from the moment Christ begins to act. They persecuted the elect of God and then God dealt with them and began to repay them as they dealt with the elect under the Fifth Seal as we saw previously. Every single Trinitarian priest or minister and their Sunday worshipping and Christmas and Easter keeping sects will repent or die. Every Sabbath-keeper that does not keep the Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts will die. Every Sabbatarian that keeps the Jewish Hillel Calendar and its intercalations will repent or die.

From now on everyone on earth is required to worship and keep Holy Daily Worship in the Temple of God, the Sabbaths and New Moons (Isa. 66:23f), and the Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread, the Wave Sheaf, Pentecost (Lev. Ch. 23) and the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day. Every nation will send its representatives to Jerusalem at that time to worship God and receive instruction. If they do not do so they will get no rain in due season and suffer the plagues of Egypt and they will die (Zech 14:16-21).

The elect will ensure that the Laws of God and His calendar are implemented and kept on pain of death. Satan and his system are with him in the Bottomless Pit and will be so for a thousand years. The false system will be over and there will be no negotiation whatsoever. No one is going to heaven or hell. Those who are left will clean up the earth starting with the Holy Land. Everyone will finally keep God’s Laws or die and go to the Second Resurrection.

[1] Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended. [2] And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. [3] And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages! [4] Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy.All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed."

Now the elect are given the judgment of God and Christ begins to deal with the nations.

Messiah then brings the nations down to Megiddo one after another and destroys their armies. The war machines and supplies form a resource for Israel for the Millennium. The first to be destroyed will be the King of the North and the NATO forces who have already destroyed the Middle East forces when it occupies the Middle East before the arrival of the Witnesses and its setting up in the Middle East at Jerusalem and its subjugation of Egypt, Iraq and Iran and the other nations there. All the forces of the North are brought down and destroyed and then the Kings of the East; of Asia and the Sub Continent are brought down and destroyed.

Following on from this total destruction of the War of Hamon-Gog and the subjugation of the nations then the Vials of the Wrath of God are poured out on the earth because they will not repent (see also the paper War of Hamon-Gog (No. 294)).

[5] After this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened, [6] and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, and their breasts girded with golden girdles. [7] And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever; [8] and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.

Note that no one could enter the Temple until the Vials of the Wrath of God were ended. That means that no one on earth could be baptised and enter the body of Christ until they had repented during the vials. Those who were part of this system were punished until they repented yet it is written that they did not repent. That Babylonian system including in the Mosques of Islam and the idols and buildings of Trinitarian false Christianity and other false faiths had to be expunged from the face of the earth. Their wars and armaments and pollution and false religion and their murders and sorcery and immorality had virtually destroyed the earth and, because they did not repent and fall on their knees before God, those of this false religion died and will die until 2026-7. The sea died. The sources of fresh water became completely contaminated. They had become drunk on the blood of the saints so they themselves were given blood to drink. This was as they judged they were dealt with under the sheep and the goats principle.

[1] Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God." [2] So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. [3] The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea. [4] The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood. [5] And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One. [6] For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"[7] And I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!"

Because they had used the false doctrine of man-made climate change and sought to control it by enslaving mankind and deny its solar basis they were scorched with fire as judgment.

[8] The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire; [9] men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

So God allowed them to endure these things, because they would not repent and keep His laws and His calendar and worship Him, they were made to endure this plague.

The whole world does not need to go through these plagues. All they have to do is repent and give God glory and keep His laws and His calendar, yet they do not and hence continue to suffer. The vials continue over the entire Empire of the Beast and its New World Order. They do not repent but they curse God and continue in their ways. The message is clear. They do not have to die but they choose to do so rather than obey God and His Christ.

[10] The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish [11] and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds. [12] The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra'tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

All of Asia and the nations of power in the earth are simply brought down to Megiddo in the Vials of the Wrath of God, and their forces are destroyed. They are brought to destruction unless they repent and they do not repent. They are assembled by the foul spirits of the demons in the last days. The wars under Christ are within the vials.

[13] And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs; [14] for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. [15] ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!") [16] And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.

This is the War of Hamon-Gog mentioned above. That conflict is carried out over the entire process of the Vials of the Wrath of God and Christ does what he is told by God and we do what we are instructed and the world is brought into subjection and obedience. Once that last battle with the last army at Megiddo is fought the world powers and the Empire of the Beast is at an end and so is the entire religious structure of the Sun and Mystery Cults and Babylonian system.

[17] The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" [18] And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake. [19] The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found; [21] and great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.

The next chapter of Revelation shows the Judgment of the Sunday worshipping whore of the Sun and Mystery Cults (called Trinitarian Christianity) which is actually the Babylonian system of the worship of Baal and Ashtoreth or Easter. God has judged it and her priests and ministers and their servants. In the same way He has judged the Kabbalists who say they are Jews and are not. So also is Hadithic Islam judged and destroyed. Every idol and every building of the false religious system will be destroyed. We will deal with that in the next message.

So we see that the sequence of the end and the coming of the Messiah is as follows:
The uprising of Fundamentalist Islam is coincident with the consolidation of the Global Financial Crisis and the Occupation of the Middle East. Its phases are:

We will deal with the sequence in full and its timings in the paper allocated for that purpose. Next instalment we will deal with the sequence of the destruction of the Babylonian Whore. Pray that we are able to reach mankind and prepare them for what is ahead.
