The
Whore and the Beast
From Part I
we saw that the Empire of the Beast was set up and that it set up a system of
Government that controlled the finances of the earth. When the conflicts that
system instigated have ruined many nations and they have tried to establish the
false system and have occupied Jerusalem for 42 months they will be destroyed.
Over the 42
months of their rule they will be opposed by the Two Witnesses sent by God.
After 1260 days they will be killed and Christ will intervene. We see the
intervention in Revelation chapter 14, which finished Part I.
The elect
of the 144,000 and the Great Multitude are with Christ and then the great Whore
of Babylon falls (Rev. 14:8).
After
Babylon falls the Third Angel declares the fate of the people who take the mark
of the Beast over that period of 1263 days.
The next
sequence shows how the Great Whore seeks to control the Beast and falls.
The elect
who conquer the Beast are then with Christ when the nations are dealt with.
However,
before it is all over the Whore is destroyed in its attempt to control the
world. Satan hates the Whore and gives power to the Beast to destroy the Whore.
The Trinitarian system combined and Rome seeks to control the world under this
system, however, the Whore itself has been penetrated by Satan and his servants
and they are already in control of vast sections of it.
Revelation15
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. 2And 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. 3And
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! 4Who 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." 5After
this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened, 6and out of the temple came the
seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, and their
breasts girded with golden girdles. 7And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels
seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever; 8and 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.
It is at
this time that one of the archangels that are the four living creatures hands
the seven vials of the wrath of God to the seven angels of the final sequence.
Christ
destroys the Antichrist and the False Prophet on his return and the First
Resurrection occurs. It is from this
time that the Trinitarian Church is destroyed completely.
These seven
vials of the wrath of God are the final destruction of the false system and as
we will see no one repents. The first vial is poured on those who took the mark
of the Beast and they do not repent.
Revelation 16
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." 2So 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. The Second Angel then continues
what was started in the Seven Trumpets and the whole of the sea turns to blood
and everything in it dies. 3The
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. Then the Third angel
pours his vial on the waters of the rivers and springs and they become blood. 4The third angel poured his bowl
into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of water
say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy
One. 6For men have
shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink.
It is their due!" 7And
I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy
judgments!"
This punishment is against mankind as it has persecuted
the elect and killed God’s servants and the altar cries out against them.
Global Warming
We now see that the Global Warming being touted by the
scientists is beginning to happen and will now continue under the fourth angel
until men are scorched by the heat of the sun and the fires and the disasters
that follow it.
8The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to
scorch men with fire; 9men
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.
They curse God because of it yet they still do not
repent and give Him glory. It is obvious from prophecy that the Sun is the cause
of Global Warming and it is not manmade but the demons have created the false
science to draw attention from prophecy (see the papers Global Warming and
Bible Prophecy (No. 218) and Global Warming: Historical
Cycles (No. 218b)).
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.
In all this anguish they still do not repent of their
deeds.
The Empire based on Europe and the UN is put under
process of destruction and they summon aid from the servant of the fallen Host.
The kings of the East then march against Christ and the elect. The Middle East
is dry and desolate and the kings march through it.
12The 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.
This sequence is put in place so that the entire
armies of the earth are assembled by the demonic spirits of the Dragon, the Beast
and the False Prophet. The text at verse 15 shows that it is over the period
that Christ comes and deals with these people that all this is happening. It is
a very fast process fortunately.
13And 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; 14for 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!") 16And
they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.
The battle of Armageddon is the final phase. After
that it is all accomplished.
Revelation 16 (continued)
17The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came
out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18And 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. 19The 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. 20And every island fled away,
and no mountains were to be found; 21and 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.
At this last vial the entire world’s system falls. The
cities of the nations and their corrupt administrations and laws and systems
are all destroyed.
Judgment of the Whore
The next
chapter 17 deals with the judgment of the Whore.
It explains
its sequence and its sins. It takes us back in time and goes through the
sequence of its operations and its persecution of God’s people. It is the great
Babylonian Mystery Religion that goes through the complete stages in Daniel
chapter 2 through the Babylonians, Medes and Persians and the Greeks, and their
splits and the Roman Empire both east and west of iron and the Holy Roman
Empire of the feet of iron and clay; and then the final Empire of the Beast of
the ten toes. Christ finally comes as the rock uncut by human hands and
destroys the entire edifice in the Last Days.
This system
of the Triune God of the Whore has killed many of God’s servants and for that
she is judged.
Revelation 17
Then one of
the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I
will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters,
2with whom the
kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose
fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk." 3And he carried me away in the
Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which
was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was arrayed in purple
and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand
a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication; 5and on her forehead was written
a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's
abominations." 6And
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marvelled greatly.
The Angel
explains exactly who she is. (See also the papers Mysticism Chapter 1 (No.
B7_1)ff. (also
in Mysticism, CCG Publishing.)
Revelation 17 (continued)
7But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
8The beast that you
saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to
perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast,
because it was and is not and is to come. 9This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are
seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one
is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little
while. 11As for the
beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it
goes to perdition. 12And
the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power,
but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the
beast. 13These are of
one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast; 14they will make war on the
Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of
kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful." 15And he said to me, "The
waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and
nations and tongues. 16And
the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will
make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17for God has put it into their
hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their
royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18And the woman that you saw is
the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."
One does
not have to be a genius to work out what city it is that sits on seven hills
and has dominion over the kings of the earth.
There is
only one city that it can be and that is Rome and the religion that it
represents is the Babylonian system that it inherited.
Revelation 18
After this I
saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the
earth was made bright with his splendor. 2And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen
is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of
every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird; 3for all nations have drunk the
wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the
wealth of her wantonness." 4Then
I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you
take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5for her sins are heaped high as
heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her
double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed. 7As she glorified herself and
played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in
her heart she says, `A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'
8so shall her plagues
come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be
burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her." 9And the kings of the earth, who
committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her
when they see the smoke of her burning; 10they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
"Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has
thy judgment come." 11
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys
their cargo any more, 12cargo
of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all
kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood,
bronze, iron and marble, 13cinnamon,
spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle
and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. 14"The fruit for which thy
soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost
to thee, never to be found again!" 15The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her,
will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, 16"Alas, alas, for the
great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with
gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." and
all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea,
stood far off 18and
cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the
great city?" 19And
they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out,
"Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich
by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste. 20Rejoice over her, O heaven, O
saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against
her!" 21Then a
mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea,
saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with
violence, and shall be found no more; 22and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players
and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft
shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard
in thee no more; 23and
the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom
and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men
of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery. 24And in her was found the blood
of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."
Revelation 19
After this I
heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the
great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged
on her the blood of his servants." 3Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her
goes up for ever and ever.”
The Host sang praise
at the judgement of the whore and the destruction of her people and priests and
her system.
Fall of the Whore
Let us look
at the background to the fall of this system in the Last Days from comments by
an insider and an historian. He had to write this work as a novel to disguise
some elements of what he says but he declared it to be true. He was later killed.
From Windswept House
by Malachi Martin
The formation of the Beast was a creation of the
whore.
25 March 1957
There
were six Foreign Ministers who met in Rome to sign the Treaty to create the European
Economic Community. These were:
Belgium Paul-Henri
Spaak
Netherlands
Luxembourg
Italy
France Robert Schuman & Jean Monet
W Germany Konrad
Adenauer
Following this they had an audience with Pope Pius XII
who after their departure said to his German Jesuit companion: “The new Europe
will have its little day, Father. But only a day.”
Also see the article at:
http://www.historiasiglo20.org/europe/traroma.htm
The Empire
of the Beast will come together and rule for one hour. He was interpreting that
as a day. It may be as long as a month but no longer. However, this pope
prophesied it would be only one day.
1960
John
XXIII in a discussion re 3rd Secret of Fatima, which was to be issued
by the Pope of 1960, decided that the situation with Russia was delicate. The result
of a mandate described by sister Lucia from “the Queen of Heaven” would be
tantamount to branding Russia and Nikita Khrushchev as criminal. The result
would be to unleash persecutions and the secret was not revealed.
Russia was
however to be dedicated to the Mother Goddess and will in fact be part of the
wars of the end (see the paper War of Hamon-Gog
(No. 294)).
11 October 1962 to 8 December 1965
From http://religion.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Vatican_Council
The Second
Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II, was the
twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church. It opened under Pope
John XXIII on October 11, 1962 and closed under Pope
Paul VI on December 8, 1965. At least four future pontiffs took part in
the council's opening session: Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini, who on
succeeding Pope John XXIII took the name of Paul VI;
Bishop Albino Luciani, the future Pope
John Paul I; Bishop Karol Wojtyła, who became Pope John Paul II; and Father Joseph Ratzinger,
present as a theological consultant, who became Pope Benedict XVI.[1][2]
29
June 1963 see pages 7-20 for procedures.
Feast
day of SS.Peter and Paul, 8 days after the election
of the pope.
What
occurred was that the enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer took place
in the Vatican in the Chapel of St Paul. Satanist tradition is that the “Time
of the Prince” would be when a Pope took the name of the Apostle Paul.
This
would be the “Availing Time”.
At
the same time a synchronised ceremony would also take place in S Carolina USA.
6 Aug 1978 this
pope died.
The “wrong
pope” was elected who died 33 days later. David Yallop in his book In God’s Name (Jonathan Cape, 1984) written
at the request of insiders in the Vatican alleges he was murdered and reports
the facts of the matter.
From
examination of the papers of these two popes by The Cardinal Secretary of State
(who was fully involved and who later died in Mablon on 19 March 1979), it
would seem that they, or certainly John Paul 1, knew of the enthronement.
Pope
John Paul II was also not the ‘complaisant’ pope they had planned, according to
Martin.
The
enthronement of Lucifer as God in the Vatican was accompanied by a contemporary
ceremony in the USA. The ceremony conducted by a bishop and other notaries in
the USA was utterly disgusting and demonic and we will not discuss it here.
The fact is
that there is no conflict in Freemasonry and the Vatican, they operate
together.
Moreover,
the US strategic policy plays hand in hand with this international Beast.
The recent
popes would not play into the hands of these strategists and the satanic forces
have been trying to take control. That was why Yallop was asked to expose the
murder of John Paul 1, and why John Paul II was an imposition and referred to
as the Slavic Pope.
At the base
of the conflict between the US Satanists and the recent popes was a cornerstone
of US strategic policy. It was regarded as essential to the prosperity and
progress of the G7 group of industrialized nations. It was enshrined in 1974 as
the National Security Study Memorandum
200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth For US Security and Overseas
Interests (known simply as NSSM 200). That memo has fixed US foreign policy
ever since.
It
pinpoints thirteen countries as strategically important with raw materials vital
to US security and with important markets for Western goods and services. The
nations are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil,
The Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Columbia. The concern
cited in the Memorandum was that the birth rates of those countries were
considered to be too high for stability. NSSM 200 was
straightforward in its recommendations.
It recommended across the board financial assistance
by the US government to these countries and to others to increase their use of
contraceptives, abortion and sterilisation of both sexes; and to further foetal
research.
So population control abroad was as necessary for US
security as was the integrity of its own territory. This policy transcended
both sides of politics. On November 26 1976 President Ford, by means of
National Security Decision Memorandum 314 (NSDM 314), enshrined NSSM 200 as an
obligatory guideline for all US government agencies. These range from Departments
of State and Treasury, Defence, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, the
Agency for International Development and the President’s Economic Council. As a
result since then the US has spent more than all other countries combined on
population control (cf. Martin, pp. 430-431).
The other countries supported this effort and through
funds funnelled to the UN such as the UN Population Fund (UNPF), International
Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), Planned Parenthood Federation (PPF) and a
host of private organisations they sought to decrease world population by any
means possible.
What has been the problem is that the aims of some of
the popes have run counter to the interest of the developed nations and the satanic
organisations that run them and the Vatican itself.
The aims of the Humanists in the Vatican are to destroy its groupings by the use and misuse of females of all ages. By the 1990s the Slavic pope had to be confronted and brought into line for the wholesale implementation of population control. The US and the Slavic pope had to be brought to discussion so that all the nations could be brought into wholesale population control and the reported Rosicrucian, “Gibson Appleyard”, had been chosen to conduct the discussions (the name "Gibson Appleyard" is a pseudonym for the main personality; Martin, p. 431.)
The Slavic pope was selected as the best person to
deal with as he was known and on the record as being “in favour of the
limitation of human births in view... of possible environmental disaster
stemming from overpopulation (Martin, op cit., p. 435).
Thus when his medical problem arose they were
concerned.
His known tolerance in spite of what he said of what
went on in the Catholic churches was indicative also that he could be used
(ibid.).
They were however aware that there were limitations on
how births were to be limited and the wholesale destruction of the foetuses for
chemical and cosmetic use was more sensitive. The US administration had no such
qualms and nor did their cosmetic and drug industry.
There was however scant morality in the Vatican
concerning any substantive issue from use and misuse of female choir girls to
wholesale active homosexuality in the priesthood and clerical membership of the
Masonic lodges, heresy and phoney marriage annulments at 50,000 a year and on
it goes.
The next phase of this population control is using the
US pharmaceuticals and the Joint Trade Agreement with the countries like
Australia and the other developed countries.
It used to be the practice that the Churches and
Rotary and other philanthropic organisations used to get past used by date
medications that were useful and they would be relabelled and sent with expert
pharmacology advice to the developing countries to save the poor, and items
that would save the children from brain damage through the effects of malaria
and fevers.
US Big Pharma used their
influence to stop the repackaging and the donation of such medications and
forced their destruction and this caused the deaths of many through their greed
and population reduction agendas.
This is not accidental. This is deliberate policy. In
the same way the banning of DDT was a deliberate political agenda to enforce
death by malaria in the developing countries and over one million extra people died
unnecessarily each year the ban was in force, and the UN allowed it. Finally
they were forced by the science of the matter to lift the ban and restore some
control over the deaths by malaria. All of this is direct population control
measures that are now enlisting the religious control systems to increase
population reduction controls. These are crimes against humanity.
There is a
social revolution currently underway that was created by the New World Order
Banking system to destroy the family unit. The feminist movement was bankrolled
by the bankers to get the females into the materialist society and destroy the
family unit. This was achieved after WWII and the reorganisation of Europe and
the West generally. The feminist movement will turn the system against itself
using abortion and its own self interest.
What will
emerge in the Last Days are three religious systems. The attack by the civil
structure on the Trinitarian system has been aided by the Satanists within the
Trinitarian system itself. The Protestant system has been undermined by the gay
and lesbian and Satanist movements. What has been forced is a division in the
Protestant movement such that the traditionalists are being forced and
reorganised into the more conservative of the Roman elements. The harlot
daughters of the whore will be forced back together into the basic Trinitarian
movement.
To achieve
that Rome is now making accommodation for the married clergy so that they can
enter as married priests.
The
feminists and the gay and lesbian movement will force the accommodation of
female clergy.
The more
“liberal” movements will alter the religious structure so that the more
religious of the so-called Christian structures will form a modified multi-religious
new age movement comprised also of vegetarians, and marriage will be modified
so that same sex structure and de-facto systems will become the norm as it is
now becoming.
The third
element in the system will be the final Church of God system of the Last Days.
That system will be the smallest at first but will
grow until a concerted effort is made to eliminate it and Christ will return to
save it. In the rule of the
Philadelphians the church will consolidate and grow.
Its doctrine will be solidified and its system will be
established. It will finally be relieved by the Witnesses and it will be part
of the division on the economic system.
There will be two basic divisions based on the
economic system in the end. The Trinitarian and the Multi-religious system will
be merged because of the financial system of the Beast.
In the same way the people that believe that they
differ from the Church of God will ultimately be forced into the Churches of
God system because of the requirement to conform to God’s Calendar in order to
survive without the mark of the Beast. The Calendar will be resolved by the
availability of Manna for the Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts. One can argue
till one is blue in the face but it will be there or it will not be there.
Those who can neither buy nor sell will have to rely
on God and His Calendar to stay alive. As Israel was in the wilderness so will
be the Church of God in the Last Days. Our bread and water will be sure and we
will feed on the body of Christ over that period. God never does anything that
He does not provide a way of escape for us. We will be forced to keep the
Sabbaths and the New Moons and Holy Days and there will be no doubt as to when
they are as there will be no food on those days. We will walk by faith for 42
months while the Beast is in power. After the Witnesses have finished, at the
end of that time, the Messiah will return and we will be resurrected and
translated.
Christ will deal with the false prophet and the
Antichrist on his return.
Over this period the Beast will turn on the Whore. The
Roman Clergy will be destroyed.
The
problems escalated under pontiff Benedict XVI. The next pope replacing him was
a Jesuit who took the name Francis I. As prophesied by Francis of Assisi
he was not canonically elected due to the time sequence being breached as
discussed in paper No. 288. He is a Jesuit Marxist and is working towards
the final conflicts. Unless he is replaced by his enemies with the last
canonical pope, he will leave Rome over the bodies of his priests and he will
be the last pope (see the paper The Last Pope (No. 288)).
Rome itself will be wiped out. It will face natural
catastrophes. The prophets have said that its end will come with a flood.
At present there is an active volcano at the base of
the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Masili volcano is 9800 feet high. It is 44 miles long
and 19 miles wide and reaches up to one quarter of a mile (less than 500
metres) below sea level and is capable of destroying all of Southern Italy
including Naples and Rome. The merchants of the beast power will be struck by
the enormous catastrophe. It could
erupt tomorrow.
Rome’s destruction will come in a single day. It will
be destroyed. It will be attacked by the forces of Islam first and the populace
will turn against the priesthood also and then Rome itself will be totally
destroyed. It will be bombed and then destroyed with the flood.
The Book of Daniel is concerned with the heirs of
Babylon and the Mystery of the Whore.
The system explained in Daniel chapter 2 continues
until the Last Days and we have explained the beast with the head of gold down
to the ten toes of iron and miry clay in previous papers. The feet of the idol
were the feet of iron and clay which was the successor to the Roman Empire, i.e.
The Holy Roman Empire, and the last empire of ten toes is the Empire of the
Beast that seeks to destroy the Whore which is the Trinitarian Church that
emerged from the Empire based on Rome and Constantinople.
The story of the Kings of the North and South carries
on through Daniel chapter 11. The explanation of the text is given in the paper
concerning Daniel chapter 11.
In the wars of the Kings of the North and South we see
in chapter 11:30 in the phases of the Kings that the ships of the Kittim was a
time on which the King of the North turned the wars into a religious conflict
against the Holy Covenant and the people of God. There will be a serious and
long lasting persecution of the elect by this Northern Religious system.
The Church of God will be penetrated by flatterers and
those of the false religion of the Whore. Many will die from persecution but
they will make their robes white in the blood of the lamb. That has occurred
over the twentieth century and is about to be brought to an end over the next
few years.
Daniel 11
30For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and
withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy
covenant. He shall turn back and give heed to those who forsake the holy
covenant. 31Forces
from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away
the continual burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes
desolate. 32He shall
seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant; but the people who know
their God shall stand firm and take action. 33And those among the people who are wise shall make many
understand, though they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and
plunder, for some days. 34When
they fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to
them with flattery; 35and
some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine and to cleanse them and to
make them white, until the time of the end, for it is yet for the time
appointed. 36"And
the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify
himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of
gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is
determined shall be done. 37He
shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women;
he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above
all. 38He shall honor
the god of fortresses instead of these; a god whom his fathers did not know he
shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39He shall deal with the
strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; those who acknowledge him he
shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide
the land for a price.
The system will be
handed over to these idolaters divided, and the supporters of this false
religion of the Whore will be given power and the capacity to own and control
the distribution of land.
We move to the time of
the end and this last great conflict at the end of the persecutions.
Daniel 11 (continued)
40"At the time of
the end the king of the south shall attack him; but the king of the north shall
rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many
ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. 41He shall come into the
glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered
out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites. 42He shall stretch out his hand
against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43He shall become ruler of the
treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt; and the
Libyans and the Ethiopians shall follow in his train. 44But tidings from the east and
the north shall alarm him, and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate
and utterly destroy many. 45And
he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy
mountain; yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.
The King of the South
will precipitate this Last War. It will involve the Egyptians who went against
the North in 1956 in the Suez crisis and took control of Suez. This was the
sequence of the last 40 years of the time of the nations (see the paper The Fall of Egypt: The Prophecy
of Pharaohs Broken Arms (No. 036)).
The Empire of the
Beast began to be formed from this time also. This last great conflict continues
from 2001 to 2025.
Within that period
will be the First Resurrection of the dead.
The Archangel Michael
will lead the conflict and save Israel.
Daniel 12
"At that time shall
arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall
be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that
time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name
shall be found written in the book. 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And those who are wise shall
shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to
righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,
until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall
increase."
****************
At this time our power
as a Holy People is broken and then the First Resurrection occurs. The conflict
continues onwards after that and Christ destroys the Roman System and the
Empire of the Beast and the Antichrist and False Prophet.
Daniel 12 (continued)
5Then I Daniel looked,
and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank
of the stream. 6And I
said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,
"How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?" 7The man clothed in linen, who
was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand
toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be
for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the
power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be
accomplished. 8I
heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "O my lord, what shall be
the issue of these things?" 9He
said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the
time of the end. 10Many
shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the
wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those
who are wise shall understand. 11And
from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the
abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred
and ninety days. 12Blessed
is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13But go your way till the end;
and you shall rest, and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the
days."
***************
The Whore will seek to control the destruction of the
Holy People and will succeed for a time but the Beast will turn on the Whore
and destroy it because Satan has hated the Whore but had to create the structure to
prevent the growth of the Church of God and was constrained in that he could
not destroy the Bible and the calling of the elect.
In the end, when his time is so short, he destroys the
Whore because its purpose is complete and it is no longer necessary.
