IMPORTANT NOTE: Again I must repeat that this book gives my own personal observations of Bible prophecy and are my own opinions and are not to be construed as "Revelations from God." The following are merely examples of how prophetic scriptures could be fulfilled. Only time will show the truth.
The third judgment mentioned in the Bible, called the Great Tribulation, would be against the Jews because of their disobedience to God.
1 Samuel 3:11 - - And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Jeremiah 30:5-7 - - For thus saith the Lord, We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Therefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved.
Daniel 12:1 - - . . . and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Zephaniah 1:7, 8 - - Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, He hath bid his guests. And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Zechariahl:14, 15 - - So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Matthew 24:21 - - For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mark 13:19 - - For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Four Hundred Ninety years of judgment must be paid back to God by Israel (see chart 5-1).
Chart 5-1. Daniel's Seventy Weeks
(click to enlarge)The Great Tribulation will be the worst time that Israel has ever seen.
Daniel 9:24, 27 - - Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophesy . . . and for the overspreading of abominations He shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The Prophetic Power Wrangler Daniel saw that sixty-nine of the seventy weeks would be paid back before the Messiah was born.
Daniel 9:24, 25 - - . . . and to anoint the most holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: . . .
He saw that the Messiah would die for the people.
Daniel 9:26 - - . . . shall Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself . . .
He also saw the destruction of Jerusalem which took place in 70 AD by the Roman General Titus.
Daniel 9:26 - - . . . and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel knew that the Messiah was supposed to complete the Seventieth Week of judgement of Israel and to establish the New Covenant with them.
Daniel 9:27 - - And He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week . . .
Even Jesus knew this.
Matthew 15:24 - - But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of lsrael.
John 9:39 - - And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
However, the Messiah was killed after preaching for three-and-one-half years. I believe this was the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. His death on the cross was the final sacrifice.
Daniel 9:27 - - . . . and in the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease . . .
Hebrews 10:10, 12, 14 - - . . . we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever . . . For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
There is a time gap in the middle of the seventieth week. The first half ended with the death of Jesus. The second half begins with the Rapture of the Church, ushering in the Great Tribulation. The Rapture is the "sign" of Christ's return and those left behind will mourn.
Matthew 24:30 - - And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn . . .
Just as Jesus preached judgment for the first three and one-half years of Daniel's Seventieth Week, Israel will be judged the last three and one-half years by the evil opposite of Christ, called the Antichrist.
Hosea 8:1 - - Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Daniel 12:7 - - . . . that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Revelation 11:2 - - for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the Holy City shall they tread underfoot forty and two months.
Revelation 13:5 - - and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
I believe when the Church goes up, Satan will come down.
Luke 10:18 - - And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Revelation 12:7-10, 12, 13, 17 - - And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the Power of His Christ: for the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
In Chapter 4, I discussed how the invading Russian armies would be destroyed by the missiles of the United Nations.
Ezekiel 39:9-11 - - And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth . . . and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them saith the Lord God And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto God a place there of the graves in Israel, the valley of passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Joel 2:20 - - But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinderpart toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
I also stated that I believed that the church would go up with the missiles. If the President of the USA is a Christian then he will go up, too, and the Vice-President would take over. If the Vice-President is a Christian then he will go up, too, and so on through the chain-of-command outlined in the Constitution. Whoever is left here as President will not be a Christian and I believe Satan will enter into him and he will become the son of perdition, the Antichrist. Judas, the betrayer was also called the son of perdition. He was the money keeper. I believe the Antichrist will be a capitalist.
John 17:12 - - . . . and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition.
2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4, 8-10 - - . . . and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped . . . And then shall that Wicked be revealed . . . Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
1 John 2:18 - - Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come . . .
1 John 4:3 - - And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come . . .
During the war with Russia, I believe that Washington, D.C., will be destroyed.
Ezekiel 39:6 - - And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles . . .
After becoming the undisputed most powerful nation in the world, the USA will form a one-world order or The United States of the World. Since Washington will be destroyed, they will have to find a new place to set up their Capital City. I believe the President of the world will choose Jerusalem because it is the geographic center of the Eastern Hemisphere. It is called the Holy City, the Eternal Capital. It could be called JerUSAlem, D.C. (David's Capital).
2 Thessalonians 2:4 - - so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
By proclaiming himself to be President of the world, and choosing Jerusalem as his Capital, the Jews will totally reject him and claim this to be blasphemy. This is the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophetic Power Wrangler.
Isaiah 29:2, 3 - - Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
Isaiah 66:4 - - I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Isaiah 3:18-24 - - In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, the rings, and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, the glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be a stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
Isaiah 4:1 - - And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
The Army and Marines will invade Israel and bring swift destruction.
Isaiah 33:7, 8 - - Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth . . .
Zephaniah 1:12, 13, 16-18 - - And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. A day of trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy: for He shall make even a speedy riddance of all of them that dwell in the land.
Revelation 14:8 - - And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 18:21-24 - - And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of the harpers, and musicians, and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Daniel 7:21, 25 - - I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. And he shall speak great words against the most high, and shall wear out the saints of the most high, and think to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Joel 2:3-9 - - A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is a garden of Eden before them; and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their faces the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Amos 3:11 - - Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palace shall be spoiled
Micah 1:9 - - For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Revelation 17:16, 17 - - And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Revelation 18:9-19 - - And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: the merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusteth after are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate.
Many Jews will be killed by this invasion of USA forces. The Hitler Holocaust of World War II was minor compared to the destruction that will take place during the Great Tribulation.
Amos 8:2, 3 - - And He said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass them by any more. And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
Zechariah 13:8, 9 - - And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third part shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Zechariah 14:2 - - For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Luke 17:28-30 - - Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

After the Rapture of the Church, I believe many Jews will be converted to Christianity because they will have a vision that reveals Jesus as the Messiah.
Isaiah 10:20, 21 - - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
Isaiah 29:23, 24 - - But when He seeth His children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of Him, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Jeremiah 31:33, 34 - - But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Revelation 1:7 - - . . . and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him.
Only the Jews that flee to the wilderness will have a chance to survive. The Army and Marines will invade so fast that they will not have a chance to pack anything to take with them.
Ezekiel 20:35-38 - - And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness in the land of Egypt, so will l plead with you, saith the Lord God. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

The Antichrist will be revealed as a result of the destruction of Damascus, Syria, by Israel. After the destruction, USA troops will be in Syria to make peace. I believe they will attack Israel from every side and the Antichrist will take control.

And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and daughters should eat. they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.

And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain . . .

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 6:4-6 - - And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see that thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation 8:7-11 - - The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of water; and the name of the star is called Wormwood and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 9:1-10, 15-21 - - And the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth, and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand; and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk. neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, for of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 16:2-4, 8, 9 - - And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.
Jeremiah 8:3 - - And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
There will be a special group of Jewish Christians who will be chosen to preach during the Great Tribulation.
Revelation 7:4 - - And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Many Jewish Christians will die for the Gospel of Christ.
Revelation 6:9-11 - - And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled
Revelation 12:11 - - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
An evil, False Prophetic Power Wrangler will deceive many as a great religious leader and will cause the death of many people.
Revelation 13:11, 12 - - 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. And he exerciseth all the Power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Currently the USA space weapons system is called "star wars" technology, They want to be able to fire from outer space and hit a target on the ground (see Ch. 3, The Last Days).
Revelation 13:13 - - And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
The False Prophetic Power Wrangler will want to glorify the Satanic President of the World and will make a propaganda video and will publish it all over the world. People will be forced to worship and pledge allegiance the President or die. Just like in Daniel's time, it was proclaimed that the people would bow to the image or die.
Revelation 13:14, 15 - - And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had 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. 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.
Daniel 3:5, 6 - - . . . ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up. And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
This is where the "Mark of the Beast" comes in. We saw earlier that the "Beast" is a government, not just the leader of that nation. You will not be able to buy or sell anything unless you meet the conditions of the False Prophetic Power Wrangler. However, these conditions have been misunderstood by most people. The conditions state that you can have either (1) the mark of the government, or (2) the name of the government, or (3) the number issued by the government. Any one of these three conditions will qualify you to buy or sell. Those who are citizens of the Antichrist Nation will not have to take the mark because they will already have the name and the number associated with that Nation. Just as Paul claimed to be a Roman citizen and claimed certain rights associated with it. If the USA is the Antichrist Nation, then its citizens will be able to claim certain rights all over the world. Whether it is the Social Security Number or some other identification, they will already have the number and the name.
Revelation 13:16, 17 - - 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; 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.
Acts 22:26 - - . . . Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
Let's take a look at the number of the beast, 666. If the USA is the Antichrist Nation, then one of its last Presidents must have a name associated with 666. The 40th president was RONALD WILSON REAGAN and has 6 letters in each of his three names. He became president during the same month that the 10th nation was added to the European Economic Community. I am not saying that Reagan is the Antichrist, but that he identifies with the Antichrist Nation, probably the USA. Ironically, the letters in his name can be re-arranged to spell INSANE ANGLO WARLORD! Again, I am not saying that Reagan is the Antichrist. Any subsequent non-Christian President would be a candidate for the Antichrist. Another strange point is that if you take the "D" off of Dragon, you get Ragon! I know this is far-fetched, but it shows different ways that scripture can be fulfilled. We may find out later that these suppositions are completely wrong, but it is interesting to speculate. We know that God is in control of things.
Revelation 13:18 - - 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.
God will send two truly anointed Prophetic Power Wranglers to announce the end of time.
Revelation 11:3, 5-12 - - And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with plagues, as often as they will And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Amazing things will begin to take place toward the end of the Great Tribulation.
Acts 2:19-21 - - And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Revelation 8:12 - - And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Joel 2:10 - - The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
The Jewish Christians will cry out for Jesus the Messiah to come back and help them.
Isaiah 64:1, 2 - - Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, as when melting fire burneth, the fire that causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
Matthew24:22 - - And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Luke 18:7, 8 - - And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry out day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?
The end of the Great Tribulation is marked with the return of Jesus Christ and the Battle of Armageddon, detailed in Chapter 6, The Millennium.
