SEXUAL ABOMINATIONS
Since the sixties there has been an explosion of unlawful sexuality as never existed before. Children are having children, and certain lawless behavior has become the law. Child pornography has increased greatly and has been organized into an international, computerized business. Young adults and children are being snatched from the streets and even their homes to be sold into sexual slavery. Homosexuality has increased, and many are “coming out of the cupboard.” I am afraid many are coming out “with the cupboard.” A congressman has been caught with a male prostitute operating out of his apartment and just slapped on the wrist by the disciplinary committee. He is very vocal for homosexual rights, and the worst part of it is that he has been re-elected by the people in his state; thus the sin of his life style is shared by a whole constituency of guilty people.
Abominations have overspread into the Governments of the nations in general, and into that of the United States of America in particular. Our new president of the United States, Clinton, has nominated an openly proclaimed lesbian for a cabinet post, and although the final approval rests with the Congress, she has already been approved by the House of Representatives. The wife of the president, the first lady of the United States, has been given the position of being the head of a health care task force to formulate a new health care policy. Homosexuals and women activists have taken a stranglehold on the Government of the United States and most of the policies coming forth are pro-homosexual and pro-woman’s liberation movement, which means that they are “anti-God.” The battle is on for the military of the United States, and the president is on the side of those who want to create an army with openly proclaimed homosexuals and lesbians. The army chiefs have gone against the plan, and it is now decided not to ask anyone about their sexual orientation. These abominations have overspread our Government already and I have no doubt that it is the same in most of the governments of the world.
We see, therefore, that although this nation was formed with godly and biblical principles as its foundation, our present secular Government denies God and the Bible. The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of worship, but this intended good clause is now interpreted so that the Bible is excluded from the classroom while Halloween, Ouija boards, etc. are brought in.
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is ABOMINATION. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion” (Leviticus 18:22-23).
This is the Old Testament law given to Moses by God to His people. The passage further explained that the heathen were doing these things and that for this cause God had allowed the Israelites to overcome them. These things constituted spiritual disease and had to be eradicated. If I go into my colony of bees and see that one colony is infested with disease, then I know that I must immediately destroy that colony with fire in order to prevent the disease from spreading to all the other colonies. So also, God has given the reason why He destroyed certain people and blessed others. Let us look at a scripture in the New Testament that virtually says the same thing:
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recommence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND, to do those things which are not convenient” (Romans 1:24-28).
According to this word which God was sending to a Christian church, it means that the church at Rome had this problem of homosexuality, and needed to be set straight as to where the scripture stands. There are many homosexual churches now, and many denominations are ordaining both male and female homosexual ministers.
From the above passages, we see very clearly that when people enter into homosexuality they depart from God. There is no way of having the two together. Homosexuality is an abomination and cannot be tolerated by God in the church. Here the passage also speaks of the artists in the church who presented God to the people in the guise of four footed beasts and creeping things. We have discovered that those who are artists seem to be more vulnerable to homosexuality than those in any other profession. It would seem that the reason for this is that in art (being the work of one’s genius) they give more glory to the creature than to the Creator.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT
He was born in 356 BC in Pella, Macedonia, which was a part of Greece (It is now a part of Yugoslavia, which has proclaimed itself a free state). He died on June 13, 323 BC in Babylon (which is now in present day Iraq). He was taught by the great Greek philosopher Aristotle, and was one of the greatest generals that the world has ever known. He was mentioned in the scriptures in Daniel 7:6 as a beast that looked like a leopard with four wings of a fowl and four heads, and that dominion was given to it. Also in Daniel 8:21 he is referred to as “the rough goat.” This prophecy was given by Daniel approximately 200 years before Alexander was born, because he figures very important in the “overspreading of abominations” mentioned in Daniel 9:27, which would occur in our modern time and referred to by Daniel as “the fourth kingdom,” which would compass the whole earth. The Greek kingdom of Alexander the Great was the third kingdom, and it set the pace for the final decadence of the fourth. Alexander the Great was a homosexual and he commanded an army of the same nature. The hallmarks of their tremendous success included their sagacity in battle, absolute inhuman brutality, and the swiftness of their attack. These are depicted in the prophecy where this kingdom is described by the word leopard. Please note that in Revelation 13, the beast coming out of the sea (the nations) looked like a leopard.
THE DEATH OF AMERICA
It appears from scripture, that before the death of any nation, that nation or nations will be obsessed by sexuality and sexual sins. From my observations, in most cases FIRE seems to be the agent of their destruction. Before the demise of the Roman Empire, there was the worship of the human body, and the “Hulk Hogan type” (champion wrestler) was adored by all. Men would even take their wives to these men to get an offspring of noble blood to themselves. There was sacramental fornication in which all the women had to spend some time in the temple of Venus, etc. giving themselves to the priests. With the body worship came homosexuality. God’s word says that for this cause He destroyed the nations and drove them out. Let us take a look at some of the cases in scripture:
SODOM AND GOMORRAH
“And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;” (Genesis 19:1).
Verse 3: “And he pressed upon them greatly; and they…entered into his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.”
It is unusual that angels will eat, but these same two angels ate with Abraham before they departed for Sodom. They did indeed have human bodies, because the men of Sodom wanted to have intercourse with them. The two angels saved Lot from being apprehended by the mob and struck the men of Sodom with blindness. Lot was now discovering that he was dealing with angels of God:
“And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city” (Genesis 19:15).
Verse 17: “And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he (the angel) said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.”
Lot and his two daughters and his wife escaped, but his wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.
Verse 24: “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.”
Brimstone refers to sulfur or burning stone; sulfur is one of the components of gunpowder. The judgment of God came upon the five cities of the plain because of homosexuality and all the other attending deviant sexual behaviors.
The Lord speaks of a final judgment of fire:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).
The Day of the Lord begins with the year 2001. This would be the beginning of the seventh millennium (The Millennial Sabbath) since Adam. Except for the error in the calendar, 1993 would be seven years from the millennium. It is possible that 1994 could be the first year of the millennium or the day of the Lord—that is, if the calendar is seven years short. If, as some believe, it is only four years in error, then it would be a further four years from now before the millennium comes. However, God is the author of time, and He can change it back or forth as He pleases, therefore too much store should not be placed on natural calculations except to warn us that we are at the end of time.
If you think that my writings and message are frightening, then please consider that a trumpet which is blown loud and long enough to wake some sleeping people will necessarily frighten some, but all for their own good. It is not a fear tactic, and since we are not raising money or seeking members, we would have nothing else to gain.
THE FOURTH KINGDOM
From the pages of history, it is possible to conceive that there were many more than four kingdoms in the world since the time of Nebuchadnezzar and the kingdom of Babylon. Nevertheless, God did not write the Bible as a history book. He wrote only the things which were pertinent to the coming of the Kingdom of God and the everlasting reign of Jesus Christ our Lord. In order to bear this point out, we should notice that the genealogy which God gives for fully four thousand years from Adam to Christ is only the genealogy of the righteous people. Not all the sons and daughters of the patriarchs from Adam to Noah who peopled the earth and were drowned in the flood were mentioned by name, but only those who were chosen of the righteous generation to be the progenitors of Jesus Christ. Jesse had several sons, but the only one mentioned was David, because he was a progenitor of Jesus Christ.
In this same manner, in Daniel, the word speaks of four kingdoms ranging from the kingdom of Babylon to the final kingdom made of iron and clay. This kingdom of the end of time shall be struck by the “stone cut out of the mountain without hands,” which is destined to strike, destroy and pulverize the kingdoms of the world and then possess the earth (Daniel 2:40-45). Let us take a closer look at these kingdoms, and particularly view hallmarks of each one:
THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON: Represented by the head of gold, with power and strength, and dominion over the earth. This means that there was no kingdom or army in the world that could conquer or overthrow the army of Babylon.
THE KINGDOM OF THE MEDES AND PERSIANS: This kingdom, under Darius the Mede and Cyrus the Persian, was depicted as the breast and arms of silver, and was inferior to the kingdom of Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar as much as silver is inferior to gold.
THE KINGDOM OF GREECE: The Kingdom of Greece was the third kingdom which would have significance in God’s plan, and was depicted by the belly and thigh made of brass, which was inferior to silver and gold. This kingdom was led by Alexander the Great. Daniel 8:22 shows that when he fell, four kingdoms would come out of it. History confirms this prophecy for Alexander the Great died in a drunken stupor at the age of 33 years and his kingdom was divided and given to four of his generals:
1. Ptolemy I Soter became King of Egypt. (the title “Soter” means “savior”.)
2. Antiochus (Seluceus I Nicator) became king of the regions of Syria and Palestine, and the Arabian regions.
3. Antigonus I Cyclops (he had only one eye), the Macedonian general under Alexander the Great, ruled most of Asia Minor and was the most famous of Alexander’s generals.
4. Antipater, the general who took possession of the European region, became regent of the Macedonian Empire.
The word states that out of this third kingdom, which was divided into four parts, there would come a fourth kingdom of iron. This kingdom is depicted by the legs made of iron, which would deteriorate in the end-time into feet and toes made of a mixture of iron and clay. This kingdom is the subject of our inquiry.
“And in the latter time of their kingdom when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up” (Daniel 8:23).
Without much ado, let me state clearly that this verse is referring to our time when it says “…in the latter time.” Another phrase here which directly points to us is “…when the transgressors are come to the full.” Of course there is no way for us to measure the “fullness” of transgression, but the clue from Daniel 9:27 tells us that abominations would overspread the sanctuary (the church; the people of God). The “overspreading of abominations” is therefore the major alarm clock which tells us where we are in this time which Daniel speaks of.
Another very important point of history is that the Greeks were conquered by the Romans, and although the Roman Empire was overrun by the Barbarians (Germanic tribes), the Holy Roman Empire took over and eventually subjected not only the kings of Europe, but Asia, Africa, and the New World. They were taken not so much by the sword, but by priests of Rome. At present, every corner of the earth to one extent or another is Romanized. English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and Italian all make up what are called the Latin tongues. These constitute the very backbone of technology, culture, business, agriculture, and knowledge on the whole. Most of the nations are making English compulsory for their children to learn in school, and it seems English would become the universal language some day, but for the coming of Jesus Christ. The Roman church will eventually become the head of all the churches and religious organizations of the world, and only the body of Christ will escape her suzerainty. Let us quote a scripture that bears this out:
“Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the WHOLE EARTH, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces” (Daniel 7:23).
Let us note that Daniel 2:38-45 says that the fourth beast should come from the third, and that they all constituted the kingdoms of the world that would figure in God’s plans to the end of time. Another noteworthy observation is that the fourth kingdom commenced with one of the generals of Alexander the great named Antipater. This is the general who was given the European theatre, who died fighting against his former compatriot Ptolemy, king of Egypt. From this kingdom came Romulus. Legend has it that he, along with his twin brother (who he later murdered in a drunken brawl), was fed and raised by a she wolf. Thus Rome had a brutal origin. Romulus founded the city of Rome and laid the groundwork for the formation of the Roman Empire.
The story of Rome is a tale of blood, murder, and violence. When Rome conquered Greece, she received more than the Greek territory and culture; she received the ancient spirits of Babylon, Persia, and Greece. The scriptures describe this endowment in a most unique fashion. This scriptural method of description shows the nature of the thing, as well as the type of ruling spirits that govern the kingdom:
“Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings...” (Daniel 7:2-4).
God does speak to His people by dreams and in Numbers 12:6 it says, “And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.” We see here in this seventh chapter of Daniel that the prophet Daniel, approximately 555 years before Christ, had a dream pertaining to our time of the end. Just as before in Daniel 2 where there were four kingdoms, now he sees four beasts. You will notice that each of these revelations carry more details pertaining to the same subject.
The four beasts came up from the sea. Prophetically, the sea means the nations. Therefore, what we are seeing are kingdoms of godless men rising up from the sea of humanity. The points of notice on each beast are as follows:
1. The first beast was like a LION with eagle’s wings.
2. The second was like a BEAR, with three ribs in its mouth, and it was said to it, “Devour much flesh.”
3. The third was like a LEOPARD, and had four wings like a fowl with four heads, and dominion was given to it.
4. The fourth beast was nameless, mainly because it has a part of all the other beasts in it.
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and break in pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns” (Daniel 7:7).
The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom, and we are now in that part of the kingdom described in Daniel 2:33 as, “…feet part of iron and part of clay.” Just as iron cannot be mixed with clay, so it is that the spiritual forces which control this kingdom cannot mix and become one with the men of the kingdom:
“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay”; (Daniel 2:43).
Let us go a little deeper into this fourth kingdom and understand that we are in the middle of this manifestation of evil and yet some of us do not understand it. The nature of the four kingdoms is evidenced in the various manifestations of the modern governments under which we are all subjected. No Christian should become a part of this system, and this will be very evident when we look upon the nature of the beasts that comprise the present kingdoms of this world.
The lion with wings of an eagle, the bear with three ribs in its mouth, the leopard which had the four wings of a fowl, and the nameless beast—these all comprise the beast with the ten horns. This means that the spirits which ruled Babylon, when Babylon fell and they could no longer possess and use them, they went into the Medes and the Persians; and when they fell, they went into the Greeks under Alexander, and consequently into the four generals (…four wings of a fowl). Since spirits do not die, unless when we cast them into the abyss they continue to possess men and to learn more and more the psychology of man and how to deal with them.
Jesus Christ came upon the scene as a man during the reign of the fourth beast, and brought forth a fifth Kingdom to overthrow and destroy all the kingdoms of men and devils and to fill the whole earth with the glory of God (Daniel 2:44-45, 7:27).
All the might of Satan is now being concentrated into this fourth kingdom, which now compasses the whole earth. Let us look at this in Revelation 13:1,
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”
Here the picture is made clearer. The beast or godless government that will rise up from among men will have seven nations with ten rulers (horns here mean “rulers” or “kings” as is evident from reading Daniel 7:23-24). As we have learned before, these must come out of the European or Roman kingdom and they will be anti-God (…upon his heads…the name of blasphemy). Interpreting this into modern understanding, we see the G7 nations of Europe coming together in an economic union. They will eventually control the very air we breathe. They control the IMF (International Monetary Fund) which is dictating terms to all the governments of the world. The scriptures tell us that the time will come when this same beast will prevent us from buying or selling unless we have their approval, mark, or name. We who go by the name of Christ will not take another name, therefore we will not buy or sell in their market. Little do they know that we will not need to buy or sell at all, for by then our economy will be based upon God and God alone, for it is written, “…man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
We notice that the beast has ten crowns on his horns. Symbolically, the head of a beast represents a nation or confederation of nations (such as the British Commonwealth), and a horn represents the individual head or ruler. Thus, the heads represent the kingdoms and the horns the rulers, and with the crowns being on the horns we are looking here at a dictatorship with ten kings (or rulers, or dictators) who represent seven nations (or confederations of nations). This picture is not that of a democracy.
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority”; (Revelation 13:2).
Let us note that all the ancient beasts referred to in Daniel have come together here into one beast in Revelation. This therefore, is the end picture of the world. All the spirits that ruled all the kingdoms from the beginning to this time must come together into one beast with seven heads and ten horns.
The nature of this beast is that of a leopard nature. This means that the United Nations has the nature of the government of Alexander the Great, since the leopard was his symbol, and the nature of his armed forces. They will be motivated by deviant sexuality and military prowess. They will be subtle and swift in war, and none will be able to match them militarily. In Daniel, the leopard had on its back four wings like a fowl. These four wings spoke of his four generals, who did not exhibit much power after Alexander’s death.
The bear as a part of this beast is the symbol of Russia, and contrary to the nature of a natural bear, Daniel saw this bear very ferocious with three ribs in its mouth, and it was given to it “to devour much flesh.” This of course, is the prophecy of the nature of the Russian kingdom and those states associated with it. The prophet was seeing the spirit that would be in them.
It seems that in the details given in the book of Revelation, the Lord gave John additions to what He had given Daniel without repeating the things in Daniel. We therefore have to put the two passages together in order to see the full picture.
The lion is now the symbol of Britain and its Commonwealth partners (Canada, Jamaica etc.). John, in the Revelation, saw these countries as the mouth of the beast. The mouth of a lion is his weapon, which signifies that the English speaking nations that are allied to Britain would constitute a great part of the power of this beast. Let us remember that the paws of the lion are also dangerous and part of its attack mechanism, and that the paws represent Russia.
In Daniel we see that the lion had eagle’s wings, and although there is no reference in Revelation to the eagle, when we put the two passages together where they really belong, we see that the lion had eagle’s wings. This would readily tell us that America, the eagle, is part of the lion symbolism in Revelation.
The power of the eagle to fly upon its prey is one of the attributes of this government. There is nothing in the human realm swifter, more dreadful, and more terrible than the modern war machines of mass destruction.
Let us look carefully again at this description of the beast that comes out from the sea. Within this beast we can see the symbols of the nations of the world:
1. The Leopard: France and all the countries aligned in the same spiritual classification.
2. The Bear: Russia and all those who are spiritually aligned with her.
3. The Lion: England and all the nations closely aligned with her. The lion in Daniel had eagle’s wings. The Roman Eagle of the ancient world came down to be the eagle of the Third Reich under Hitler, and now it is the American eagle of the modern world. The same spirits of militarism and sexuality (which governed Rome and eventually became its downfall) now govern America.
We see here that the three ancient beasts form the fourth, modern beast, but the worst is yet to come in the remaining part of Revelation 13: 2,
“…and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority.”
Revelation 12:9 tells us that the great dragon is the devil himself. This then is the dragon that gave the beast its power. In simple language, Satan at the time of reference gives his power and his seat and his authority to this Fourth Beast—or in other words—to the United Nations. We know that Satan is not going to abdicate his kingship over fallen man to anybody, therefore we must understand the language to mean that he will possess them and be their head. The next verse explains this point:
Verse 3, “And I saw one of his heads (the seven heads) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.”
This wound was received in battle; it is a battle wound, a wound by a sword; and it was a death wound, yet it survived. The word of God shows the source of the wound in Genesis 3:15:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
The sword of the woman struck many blows to the dragon. Her first blow was when she had a righteous son named Seth. From him came forth Enoch who walked with God and was translated. Satan struck back with murder and defection. God had to intervene in the flood to arrest the flood of wickedness and ungodliness that filled the earth. The woman struck back by bringing forth Shem and Eber from whom came the Hebrew nation through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – thus Israel was born. From Israel through David, God brought forth the man Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is the seed of the woman and when He came on the scene, Satan (who had to some degree obtained some fashion of victory over every man) felt that he could also win against Jesus Christ. He tried and when he failed, he used violence to kill Him. BUT DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM! The Master of life broke the power of death and released all the prisoners which hell had accumulated through the ages, even the sinners who heard the preaching of Noah and cried out for mercy, too late to save their bodies but not too late for their souls. Jesus went down into hell, resurrected in hell, preached to the spirits in prison (Ref: 1 Peter 3:19, 4:6), led every captive believer out of hell, spoiled the principalities of darkness, WOUNDED SATAN, and proclaimed the day of liberty for us all.
Thus we see where Satan’s head was wounded, but the question arises—WHO HEALED THE WOUND? This wound was unto death, delivered by Jesus Christ. Who then, would have the power and the authority to heal that wound?
In Genesis, Chapter 3, we were told that the seed of the woman would wound the head of the serpent. The seed of the woman is Jesus Christ Himself. At the time when this word was given, Satan was referred to as “the serpent,” and he only had one head. In Revelation 13, however, we see him with seven heads and ten horns. This means that he now has a worldwide organization comprised of all nations to whom he has given his power and authority. These nations do not have the power to heal Satan’s wound since the power to heal only comes from God. Let me give a scripture that bears this out:
“For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: And He is before all things, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST” (Colossians 1:16-17).
The above passage tells us that all power must come from God and that He is the source of all life, which includes healing. Let us look at another scripture, which will more accurately explain the point we are driving at:
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore… and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”; (Matthew 28:18-19).
When God first commissioned Adam, He gave him dominion over everything that moved in the earth realm, thus he was made king of the earth. When Jesus Christ was about to ascend into the heavens, He commissioned the church with the same commission, with the exception that now he has given us “ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH.” The church, therefore, received the power to finish the destruction of Satan, since from the beginning humanity was the pawn in the war. Jesus had struck the deathblow, but the Father would not allow Him to finish Satan at Calvary. God had Him leave the earth and give us a mandate to finish the job. The next thing that happened was very sad, because the church did the same thing which Adam did and which Israel did—which is to hand over their authority to the devil. Satan, who was defeated and powerless before an advancing church, once again had been given a mandate and was back in business. Before the death of the Apostles of the Lamb, which includes Paul, the church was already incorporated by Satan.
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:” (2 Thessalonians 2:7).
This word “work” here speaks of a secret “termite-like” working of iniquity in the church, and this was written nearly two thousand years ago. Let us see what the Scriptures say in prophecy about our time. We will first take the words of Jesus Himself:
“When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the Holy Place, (whoso readeth, let him understand):” (Matthew 24:15).
Jesus Christ was speaking of the signs of the end of time, and this was the most important sign of our times, that Satan (the abominable one who causes the desolation that will eventually terminate into the consummation) will stand in the holyplacechurch. We say holyplacechurch because Jesus had said that the whole temple would be destroyed and that there would be no holy place in Jerusalem. Since the only holy place that is in existence at this time is in the church, then we must conclude that the abomination will be standing in the holy place of the church. Since the temple had three parts, we must agree that the church also has three parts. There is an outer court church, who although they are children of God they are not under the headship or leadership of God. They still do their own thing, build their extravagant edifices, marry their wives, and are basically worldly. The holyplacechurch, therefore, would be among those who seek after holiness, and the holy of Holies church is yet to come.
The prize of Satan is therefore the holy place church, and Jesus seems to be intimating that he will be allowed to stand up in the holy place church, or, in other words, to have authority over the holy place church. The question one would ask is, “Why would God allow such a thing?” The answer is in the next verse which says, “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.” This means that in order to get men to go up higher into God, He allows the enemy to come into their habitation so that those who are worthy might flee to higher ground.
OUR BELIEF IS THAT SATAN IS NOW STANDING IN THE HOLYPLACECHURCH. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF GREED AND WORLDLINESS THAT THE CHURCH HAS ALLOWED FOR TOO LONG A TIME.
Let us look at another pertinent scripture:
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (rebellion) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (son of Satan) who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
This passage further explains the previous passage from Matthew. We are talking about the temple of God (the body of believers; the church). This, of course, has another even more profound meaning, since our bodies are the temple of God. In this deeper meaning, we can see something even more sinister: The devil cannot get into a church unless he first indwells the members of that church. We are not talking about devils taking hold of church buildings. We are talking about Christians allowing Satan to come into their soul and body, and consequently the midst of their congregations and to proclaim himself as their God!
You say, “That is impossible!” The impossible is happening right now! In order to further impress the truth upon you, let me ask you these questions. Who was it that recently told one of our television evangelists that God would kill him if he did not raise eight million dollars? Who was it that got into another one of our notable preachers and made him find his pleasure with harlots?
Tales of this kind are abundantly numerous and none can deny that Christians allow devils to partake in the temple of God. Look at the churches and their leadership. If you are blind and cannot see, then perhaps you can believe the word of God, for it clearly says that the church would rebel against God and allow other masters to lead them. We are telling you that most of the leadership of the church does not even believe in Divine leadership. They believe in the leadership of Popes, priests, bishops, pastors, and in everything else except the leadership of Christ. They preach and teach psychological techniques and have replaced divine order with human order, which basically is Satanic. This has allowed the devil to find a place in the midst. He, at this time, has taken over the thinking of the churches and the dictates that lead them, which they now proclaim as God, but it is nothing but the voice of the devil himself.
Thus we see that the process of proclaiming the antichrist as God in the church has already not only begun, but it is far advanced and near completion. The desolation which we see in the Church today is caused by the abomination which has overspread her and led her into rebellion.
Just as Israel rebelled against the government of God and desired a king (1 Samuel 8:6-7), so also the church has rejected Jesus Christ as King, and so will receive the son of Satan as their king. The one world church is now rapidly forming and the deception over Christians is almost complete. Look at the charade on TBN: Christians dressed up like the world; the men wearing their long Hollywood film star type haircuts hanging down at the back of their necks; the music artists carrying on with their rock and roll performances, singing the name of Jesus while they are acting like devils. One team practices karate as a drawing card to preach the gospel. karate is a Japanese method of combat using bare hands and feet to inflict damage upon an adversary. It involves an occult meditation in which one acquires spirit force far beyond one’s natural ability. I have heard of a small scrawny teacher demonstrating to his students, turning his hand and striking a massive pillar, cracking it with one blow. Let me give you a scripture that foretold this condition in the church:
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon”; (Revelation 13:11).
It is very clear what this is saying: A lamb is a church, but it was coming up from the earth, which means that it was arising from the carnal realms or out of man’s carnality. He had two horns like a lamb, which means that it looked like a church, but he spoke as a dragon. This means that he spoke with the voice of Satan. Two horns would represent two leaders.
Verse 12: “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
THIS THEN IS THE MEANS BY WHICH THAT DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED. THIS CHURCH THAT SPEAKS WITH THE VOICE OF THE DEVIL IS THE HEALER OF THE WOUND. THIS CHURCH WHICH HAD THE AUTHORITY FROM GOD TO DESTROY THE DEVIL, WHO INSTEAD REBELLED AGAINST GOD AND JOINED THE DEVIL, NOW FORCES ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH TO WORSHIP THE DRAGON. THIS IS THE ONEWORLDCHURCH UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ROMANCATHOLICCHURCH—HERE IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE.
Since the fall of the Berlin wall and the sudden opening up of the Eastern Block countries, we foresaw that it was only for a time and soon they would be closed again. Although we saw this, we did not see that the closing of Russia and other countries would not be done by Communism but by the harlot church. The news has now come out of Russia that a law has been passed giving certain organized blocks of churches sole authority to admit or refuse Christian missionaries.
We need to remember that it was the church that first took the Bible away from the people. We can see in this move, a partnership between the godless governments of the world and the rebellious harlot church, as described here in the verses that follow:
Verse 14: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he hath power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live.”
Verse 15: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
Going back and reading Verse 13 we see that this church is a miracle working church:
“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.”
From Verse 14 above we see that it will deceive those that dwell on the earth by the means of the miracles.
IMAGE TO THE BEAST
This church organization is going to make an image to the beast that talks, and it will be termed a miracle. This means that it could not be a computer image (which is quite feasible) because it would not take a church to do that. We, for this same reason cannot conceive it to mean a church making some great technological breakthrough which would make an image speak. We would rather say it to be speaking of something more like the Virgin Mary appearance in Lourdes, France, or some statue weeping tears of blood; or something of a spiritual nature of which Satan is most capable of doing. It will be some real miracle that will convince all those who are not hearing from God. This image would not only speak, but it would apparently be alive and cause all those who do not worship it to be put to death. The phrase “…give life to the image of the beast” tells us that it is not a person, although a person can be the image of another, like we are being made in the image of Christ. It must necessarily be something that has no life and would take a miracle to give life to it.
Verse 16: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:”
Verse 17: “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Verse 18: “Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
This church, which is speaking in the voice of the devil, also has the authority of the devil. By this authority she can compel people to do things, and will cause men of every class and degree to receive a mark in their foreheads or in their right hand, without which no man can buy or sell. Other scriptures which speak of the mark indicate that the mark in the forehead is not physical, but in the mind. Ezekiel 9:4-6 and Revelation 7:3 speak of a mark, not of the devil, but of God in the hearts and minds of the believer giving them power to overcome the beast. In Genesis 4:15, God marked Cain to prevent anyone from killing him, which is a mark of protection. In the case of Cain, it was highly probable that the mark was a physical one that was clearly visible for all to see. Nevertheless, in Revelation 13 (the passage under review), the mark referred to there could not be only physical because it was a mark from the devil, and anyone who had that mark had a change of his nature to that of a reprobate who could not be saved (Ref: Revelation 14:9-11); and, of course, it is not possible that anyone could catch another and mark him with a mark of damnation.
A clue to what the mark is can be found in Verse 17 above. It says that the mark is the same as the name, or the number of the name, and Verse 18 says it is the number of a man’s name, and the number is 666.
Now, how would I get the name or nature of another man stamped on my mind? By accepting him as God or sent of God, and taking his word as the word of God, and receiving of his spirit in my soul, like the cultist takes charge of his victims. The nature of [this] man is 666, which means the “fullness of man.” Daniel 8:23 tells us that in the end of time “…when the transgressors are come to the full,” that a man who has attained to this highest point of man’s development next to perfection (which would be 777), would come forth in this organization that looks like a church but speaks like the devil.
LET US DEAL WITH 666
There are many men in history whose names or title work out to 666. In the Hebrew and Greek languages, every letter has a numerical value; in Latin only some of the letters have a value. If we were to take the title of the Pope of Rome and count the number of that name, we would find that they come out to 666, but we already know that the antichrist must come from the Roman kingdom, which includes not only the old Roman empire, but the new Roman empire of which we are a part. The title of the Pope, written in Latin is VICARIUS FILII DEI = Vicar of the Son of God (or Vice Christ). This in itself is a blasphemous title, and the number of it is 666:
Whether this is coincidence or the stark reality of a present situation is for the reader to decide. But, it is very clear in scripture where the antichrist must come from, and in light of what is happening in the Ecumenical movement of churches, one cannot doubt that the antichrist and his prophet are coming forth (not just “out of their cupboard,” but they also are coming with cupboard and all) for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, to see and to hear.
Daniel 9:26 states that after Messiah is slain, the prince that should come would destroy the temple and the city and the sanctuary. In Matthew 24 when Jesus looked at the temple, he told us that it would be destroyed and that not one stone would be left standing on another. The present Wailing Wall is not a wall of the temple, but part of its foundation that was underground.
“THE PARLIAMENT OF WORLD RELIGIONS” will be held in Chicago on August 28 to September 4 of this year (1993). It is reported that the invited guests will include: Chuck Colson of the Prison Ministry; Joan Campbell, director of the National Council of Churches; Chidananda Saraswati, a Hindu swami; Hans Kung, Roman Catholic theologian; Omar Naseef, secretary general of the Muslim World League; the Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhist god; Officials of Lucis Trust (formerly Lucifer Publishing); Zoroastrian worshippers (Zoroastrian means “the seed of Astarte”); Santeria high priests (Voodoo worshippers who have just won a high court appeal permitting them to sacrifice animals in their services. Their headquarters is in Miami, Florida). Occultists and religionists of all sorts will attend from 130 different countries to celebrate what they call, “Unity in Diversity.” The one world church is rapidly coming together, therefore God’s judgment must be pretty close.
THE CONSUMMATION
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit, into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns” (Revelation 17:1-3).
In Revelation, Chapter 12, there is the story of “a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” This is a different beast from the one in Revelation 13, which also had seven heads and ten horns but it had its crowns upon its horns and not upon its heads. The crowns on the heads of the beast in Revelation 12 shows seven organizations or kingdoms joined together which are ruled by the heads, or something more like a democracy with ten men as rulers represented by the horns. The crowns on the horns of the beast in Revelation 13 show that the men are the dictators; they have the power. This beast in Revelation 17 is the same beast as in Revelation 12 that was trying to kill the man child. We see there in Chapter 17 some more details about this beast, that it is ecclesiastical in nature because in Verse 3 it says that it has “names of blasphemy.” We see from Daniel 7 that this beast would destroy the saints until a certain time when [the woman riding on this scarlet beast] would be judged and the saints would be given dominion. This identifies the church that is called the harlot. She is the church that rides the world and mixes with all the governments of the world.
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Revelation 17:4-5).
This woman, this church, this abomination of the earth, is easily identifiable. One of the problems in facing up to this issue is that most of us are involved with her in the abomination of her fornication (unlawful mixing with the world) or in walking in her nature or name. Many of us have the names of blasphemy stamped upon our foreheads and the foreheads of our children. We call men our pastors, which is a name of blasphemy since God says in John 10:11,14, “I am the good shepherd (pastor).” We call men our bishops when Christ is the only “bishop of our souls” (Ref: 1 Peter 2:25). We call men “Father” when Christ says call no man Father, for you have only one Father even God Himself (Ref: Matthew 23:9). We call men “minister” with an ecclesiastical meaning to it, when God says no man should be our master for Christ is our only master (Ref: Matthew 23:10). Therefore, we are indeed stamped with the stamp of the harlot. Christ came to redeem us from the harlot church and the harlot religion, yet though we be redeemed we have regressed and have become again subservient to the beggarly elements which once held us captives.
“And he (the angel) cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird”; (Revelation 18:2).
The fall of the Babylonish system is first evidenced by the demons possessing her. This is manifested by uncleanness (unclean spirits) and spiritual abominable birds of prey. (It is important to note the revelation that is in Leviticus 11, where the abominable birds and creatures are mentioned which should not be eaten, where the whole scripture is dealing with human beings and not birds and animals, etc.) We see here that the judgment of God upon the world and the church is the loosing of demons upon them. The last plague which God sent on Egypt was evil angels of death who would have killed all the first born, but for the blood of the covenant which stopped them from killing the obedient Israelites. Devils in the governments of the world; devils in the United Nations; devils in Yugoslavia; devils in Israel; devils in all the seats of governments. The institutions of the world have become the hiding place of devils—masquerading under the guise of democracy and fair play; behind every lie and foul play; master of the “isms” and the schisms; the overspreading of abominations.
Because God made the earth and because He is God, He has given man six thousand years in which to do his own thing—and what do we now have? We have the threat of total annihilation! The time of man is over, and God must now take over and save the earth from its occupants. where sin and evil have made such an imbalance, He must now create an equilibrium. He must correct the polluters of the earth and clean up the caustic mess that we have made. He must revive the air that we breathe. He must cleanse the earth of the spirit of murder: the murder of babies, child pornography, and the murder of the innocent. The cry of many mothers is going up to God tonight for many precious little souls, which are being snatched, from malls, streets, and homes. May God bring quick judgment on the menstealers. He must deliver from the dark prisons of the world many humans who are held in inhuman conditions, and some who are lost and forgotten by the rest of humanity. God said that the blood of Abel was crying to Him from the ground, and His word says that those who slay man, by man shall they be slain. The Good God must requite many in this hour to bring back His earth to righteousness. He must bring Christians back to the faith which was once delivered. He must correct Israel, because as one Shepherd, He must have one fold.
ALL THIS AND MORE THE LORD MUST DO, AND WILL DO IN A MOMENT OF TIME, BECAUSE OUR GOD IS GOD!
This then, is the reason why a great TRIBULATION is absolutely necessary. There must be a great tribulation, for when tribulation is on the earth, man’s heart will turn to righteousness.
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be, and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:21).
The great tribulation is already here and soon all the unbelieving Christians and the unbelieving unbelievers will discover that God is not slack concerning His promises. The last plague to take the world will be the plague of death. Watch carefully how casually death walks about in the world. Death is not just claiming old people, but thousands are being killed every day.
Thousands are murdered yearly in the United States. When we think of the slain on a worldwide basis it presents the picture of a steady river of blood flowing day and night, which is increasing more and more. This is the picture given in Revelation 6:7-8:
“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was DEATH, and HELL followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
We do not want anything to be plainer than this. Wars are festering all over the world. The red horse has taken away peace from the earth. We stand on the verge of the third World War.
Someone says that I frighten the people. Does the watchman on the wall frighten the people when he tells them that an army is coming to destroy them? I pray to God that some of you might be frightened enough to awake from slumber and see the face of the Lord.
The sequence of things from where we now stand is this:
1. The church must be first persecuted and hounded. The attacks on the church have begun, but they must get much worse in the near future.
2. Wars and rumors of wars will increase, until it develops into a worldwide conflagration: “nation… against nation and kingdom against kingdom”; (Ref: Matthew 24:7).
3. Upon this desolation of humanity, God will pour out His wrath because man will not repent in spite of what is happening to him. The wrath is beginning in the guise of natural disasters, which will increase until it drives the countries of the world into bankruptcy.
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe” (Revelation 14:14-15).
The people of God and all those who are willing to repent of their deeds, must now weep between the porch and the altar and we must now cry to God, “GOD SAVE YOUR PEOPLE.”
The brightest note in all this is left for the last: Somewhere in the midst of all this distress, when it would seem that there is very little hope left, then “the Lord whom we seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts”; (Malachi 3:1).
When these temples are filled with His glory then the word will be preached throughout all the earth. For three years and a half years, the sons of God will hold back the destroyer while the darkness increases in the earth. They, nevertheless, will have light and eventually will overcome Satan and all his forces, and the earth shall be the Lord’s.
May God richly bless you who read.
