Biblical Timeline from “the Appearing” to the Second Coming, Part 4 of 5
Dear Troy,
We shall continue numbering distinct prophetic events subsequent to the the Seventh Roman Caesars confirming of a previously existing international covenant beginning of the 70th Week of Years. On the very same day the the Pope confirms the covenant beginning the 70th Week of Years, Old Testament prophets Moses and Elijah will be seen and heard in Jerusalem calling National Israel to repentance. Clothed in sackcloth, they will be calling all nations to repentance, preaching that the risen Jesus/Yeshua of Nazareth is Israels Messiah and Savior of the world, warning of the impending wrath of God (Revelation 14:10) to be poured out since the transgressors have come to the full (Daniel 8:23).
The listing of future prophetic events will be given in a chronological order. To do so we must have a grasp of The Revelation of Jesus Christ inspired by the Person of the Holy Spirit (II Timothy 3:16) through the Apostle John as he was moved by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:21). Consulting Old Testament prophecies as found within the three great divisions of the Old Testamentthe Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms (Luke 24:44) in conjunction with the so-called synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), will culminate in a literal, clearly understood, chronological unfolding of events during the 70th Week of Years.
To accurately yet simply comprehend the prophetic time-line, we must always keep in mind the Three DivisionsPast, Present and Futureof the book of The Revelation. The first chapter of this most important prophetic book of The Holy Bible gives us the literal key: Revelation 1:19. Therein, the Three Divisions of the book are: Section Ithe Pastthe things which thou hast seen; Section IIthe Presentthe things which are; Section IIIthe Futurethe things which shall be hereafter.
Section Ithe Pastbegins with Revelation 1:1 and ends with Revelation 1:20. Restated, Section Ithe Pastbegins and ends with Chapter 1 of The Revelation. Chapter 1 covers the things which John had just seen. For the Prophet John had just seen the risen Lord Jesus Christ in all His radiant glory during His present, heavenly office of High Priestafter the order of Melchisedec (Psalms 110:1-4; Hebrews 5-7).
Section IIthe Presenthas two distinct parts separated one from another. The first distinct part begins with Revelation 2:1 and ends with Revelation 3:22; the second distinct part begins with Revelation 22:8 and ends with Revelation 22:21. Both sections address the Presentthe things which are.
Chapters 2 and 3 cover the things addressed by Christ that were presently in existence in 95-96 AD. Those things were the Seven Churchesseven historical bodies of believers in Christwithin Asia Minor, the geographic area we today call Turkey. Revelation 22:8 to Revelation 22:21 addresses present issues including the words of Jesus Himself declaring Surely I come quickly.
Section IIIthe Futurebegins with Revelation 4:1 and ends with Revelation 22:7. Chapter 4 describes the four living creatures (cherubim as described in Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10) and their order of worship before the Throne of God the Father. The Churchthe Body of Christis in Heaven represented by twenty-four redeemed men termed elders, crowned with golden victors crowns, seated on thrones and worshipping God the Father. Chapter 5 introduces the Lion of the Tribe of Judahthe Lamb of Godfor worship by the twenty-four elders, they representing the Body of Christ, the redeemed of all nations during this present evil age (Galatians 1:4). The Lamb receives the book with seven seals from the hand of God the Father. Notice the Churchthe Body of Christis in heaven BEFORE the wrath of the Lamb begins in Chapter 6! Since the Appearing of Christ for the dead and living bodies of His believersthe Body of Christis BEFORE the beginning of the 70 Week of Years, the twenty-four elders are seen praising the Lamb of God BEFORE the wrath of the Lamb begins with Christs opening of six of the seven seals in Chapter 6!
For we, the Body of Christ, shall be saved from wrath (lit., the wrath, noting the Greek definite article) through Him (Romans 5:9), specifically through Christs appearing (Titus 2:13). Indeed, we, the Body of Christ, have not been appointed to wrath (the wrath of the Lamb), but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 5:9). We shall obtain that future salvation of our physical bodies on the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30) when our physical bodies are changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpetthe trumpet of DEPARTURE (lit., the departure (AV1611a falling away) noting the Greek definite article in II Thessalonians 2:3) for the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 15:50-51). Our bodies will then be like His glorious body (Philippians 3:21); for at that moment when He shall appear, we shall be like Him (I John 3:2). Since we, the Body of Christ, have been promised to be delivered from the wrath to come (lit., the wrath, noting again the Greek definite article of I Thessalonians 1:10), we, as represented by the twenty-four elders worshipping the Father and the Son in the Third Heaven, will NOT BE ON EARTH during the wrath of the Lamb to come that begins in Revelation 6.
Section IIIthe FutureRevelation 6:1 to Revelation 19:21 are the chapters that concern us. For it is this section that describes all events within the 70th Week of Years. The task of the writer is to place the major events within a chronological framework enabling the reader to have a clear picture of coming judgments on earth culminating in the visible, glorious Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Coupled with certain prophecies of the Four Major and Twelve Minor Prophets, we are given an astoundingly detailed account of these things that must shortly come to pass (Revelation 1:1). We shall now resume our listing of chronological events continuing from Part 3 of 5.
6. The confirming of the international covenant by the prince that shall come (Daniel 9:25) who is the Seventh Roman Caesar/King (Revelation 17:10), specifically the final Pope of Rome/King of Rome, will, on the very same day, begin the 1260-day preaching of the two miracle-working prophets, Moses and Elijah, in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:3-13). This treaty will bring a false peace to the Nation of Israel (the Papal Roman Caesars revived Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem). The temporary, Middle East peace the Jesuit papacy has promoted for all these many years will finally come to pass. This temporary peace during the first half of the 70th Week of Years is the prelude to the day of the Lord (I Thessalonians 5:2-3). The day of the Lord will begin with The Eighth King/The Antichrist/Man-Beast breaking the covenant (the same covenant he had confirmed before his murder when he was The Seventh King/Papal Roman Caesar) after the first three and one-half years of the 70th Week of Years. This day of the Lord is also called the day of Christ (II Thessalonians 2:2). This day of the Lord/day of Christ will transpire during the last half of the 70th Week of Years. This day of the Lord is the great day of the wrath of the Lamb (Revelation 6:16-17) during which the seal, trumpet and vial judgments are put upon worldwide humanity.
7. The temporary Mid-East peace brought to Israel, via the Popes strengthening of a preexisting international treaty, will politically benefit the nation. All Israel shall dwell safely, and will be called the land of unwalled villages (Ezekiel 38:8, 11). At this time Moses and Elijah are preaching repentance to National Israel, but she will not hear. Towards the end of the first half of this seven-year period, as the ministry of the two prophets draws to a close, Gog, an absolute military dictator ruling Russia, will invade the land of Israel. This first phase of Gogs two-part attack (Ezekiel 38) will occur just prior to the middle of the 70th Week of Years when all of Israel is dwelling safely in the promised land. The second phase of Gogs two-part attack (Ezekiel 39) will transpire at the end of the 70th Week of Years after Israel has fled to a place prepared for her in the wilderness where she will stay for three and one-half years (Revelation 12:14-17) to be protected by her prince, Michael the Archangel (Daniel 12:1, 7). At the time of Gogs first attack, Israel is dwelling under the safety of the international covenant confirmed by the final Pope of Rome, the Seventh Roman Caesar, the prince that shall come. At the time of Gogs second attack, Israel is not dwelling in safety, but hiding in a place of providential protection lest she should be annihilated by the military forces of Satans Antichrist.
Gog is the prince of Rosh (Russia) who will rule over Tubal (Tubolsk) and Meshech (Moscow). The seemingly invincible military alliance to be led by Gog includes Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer with all his bands (Ukraine and Georgia), and Togarmah and all his bands (Turkey, Cyprus, Syria and possibly Lebanon) (Ezekiel 38:1-8). (As a side note, every one of these nations has been militarized by the foreign aid monetary credit and high technology of the Popes Holy Roman, Apostate Protestant, 14th Amendment American Empire!)
Apparently, apostate Orthodox Russia will lead this host of Islamic and Christian Orthodox nations that will HATE the Jews and National Israel. Gog will launch this first phase of his two-part attack to steal a great spoil composed of silver and gold (Ezekiel 38:13). The writer believes a great treasure of gold and silver will have been used to garnish both the inside and outside of Jerusalems Third Hebrew Temple . If this be the case, one of the foremost purposes of Gogs invasion will be to DESTROY the Third Hebrew Temple, cherished by Rome and her Seventh King/Papal Roman Caesar, in order to steal its gold and silver as did the Romans to the Second Hebrew Temple in 70 AD!
8. When Gog, the future military dictator of Russia, invades the Papal Roman Caesars Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Popes European Union, along with certain of his Arab leaders, will object to the attack. Sheba and Dedan (Arab leaders that may well include Saudi Arabia), and the merchants of Tarshish (merchants of Spain and of the region of the Mediterranean Sea) with all the young lions thereof (European nations using lions for their insignias) will accuse the Russian horde of intending to plunder Israel.
9. But God, in bringing on the invasion of Gog of Magog into His land of Israel, will destroy this massive coalition of armies. Gogs defeat will be by three separate means: another foreign army termed a sword; infighting between coalition armies; and great hailstones, fire and brimstone from heaven (Ezekiel 38:21-22). After the supernatural defeat of Gogs armies, the nations will know the LORD was behind that destruction.
10. About the time of the destruction of the armies of Gog, the final Pope of Rome who is the Seventh Roman Caesar/King (Revelation 17:10) will be killed. He then will be brought back to life through the working of Satan (II Thessalonians 2:9) to be The Beast (Revelation 13:3-10), termed by your editor as the Man-Beast. At this time Satan and his angels will be cast out of the heavens and confined to roam the earth. Satan will then indwell the dead body of the slain Seventh Caesar King/Pope of Rome. The slain Pope will then rise from the dead to be the Man-Beast/Antichrist. From the time the slain Roman Pope (wearing the X of Osiris) rises from the dead to be the Man-Beast/Antichrist, to the day he breaks the covenant he confirmed for seven years when he had been Pope, may be a few days.
The slain Pope, rising from the dead to be Baphomet personified will fulfill the ancient Babylonian/Egyptian myth foretelling the raising of the slain Osiris from the dead to be Horus indwelt by Set (the devil of Egyptian lore). This myth was enacted into the third degree of Scottish-Rite Freemasonry by the Jesuits of France in their College of Clermont, 1754. Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor and 19th Century Sovereign Pontiff of Scottish Rite Freemasonry Albert Pike, illustrates Osiris raising from the dead by the lions grip (after the working of SatanII Thessalonians 2:9) to be the risen and invincible Horusthe Antichrist/Man-Beast to rule the world for 42 months!
The symbol designating the Pax Romana (Chi/Rho Cross) reflects this same Egyptian myth. For the Vicar of Christ/Vicar of Horus is slain, his symbol having always been the Babylonian/Egyptian cross (X). Rising from the dead, is, in essence, another individual yet within the same physical bodyHorus possessed by Setsymbolized by the (P). In accordance with the Latin words written on the arms of Baphomet, the same Babylonian myth is to be personified in a literal, human Babylonian Messiahthe Antichrist/Man-Beast. For on Baphomets right arm is written the Latin term SOLVEmeaning dissolve. Indeed, the Pope will be killed, dissolved. On Baphomets left arm is written COAGULAmeaning re-formed. Indeed, the dissolved Pope will be re-formed into another personthe Antichrist/Man-Beast! In complete agreement with Revelation 17:10, the Seventh Roman Caesar/King will be murdered and brought back to life as the Eighth Roman Caesar/King, yet he is in the same physical body as the Seventh Kingthe former Pope of Rome!
11. On the very day the risen Pope turned Man-Beast breaks the covenant he confirmed for seven years when he had been Pope, this Man-Beast will kill the two witnesses, Moses and Elijah, in Jerusalem, their 1260-day ministry having ended the day before their murder (Revelation 11:7-13).
12. At the middle of the 70th Week of Years when the Eighth King/Man-Beast/Antichrist breaks the covenant he confirmed when he was the Seventh King/Pope of Rome, the Lord Jesus Christ opens the first of seven seals (Revelation 6:1). That first seal judgment brings The Antichrist/The Man-Beast to power evidenced by his breaking of the covenant: he went forth conquering and to conquer (Revelation 6:2). He will then submit the Ten Kings to his power, three of them forcibly (Daniel 8:24). These Ten Kings will destroy the Great Harlot Rome and her Sovereign State of Vatican City (Revelation 17:16-18). The Man-Beast, possessed by Satan, will then go to Jerusalem and sit in the Third Hebrew Temple there to be worshipped as God (II Thessalonians 2:4).
