The Everlasting Gospel will be preached before God’s Wrath

January 5, 2011

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Revelation 14 is a parenthetical Chapter and should not be interpreted chronologically line by line continuously within itself or with chapters 13 or 15. 

There are 2 examples of what happens in the Tribulation Period chronologically in Revelation 14:6 to 11 and 14;12 to 20 – Both manifest what happens before the pre-7th trumpet rapture, then the time of God’ s 7 vial

s of wrath which follows the last trump in a series of 7.

EXAMPLE 1 – FINAL WARNING  BEFORE 7TH TRUMPET RAPTURE

Revelation 14:6,7 – And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea and

the fountains of waters.

AFTER THE 7TH TRUMPET RAPTURE

Revelation 14:8-11 – 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.

[9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, [10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: [11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelation 16:17-19 – And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

EXAMPLE 2 – AT THE SOUNDING OF THE 7TH TRUMPET

Revelation 14:14-16 – 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.

[15] 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. [16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

AFTER THE 7TH TRUMPET RAPTURE

Revelation 14:17-20 – And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

[19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

[20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

ALL THE SAVED IN HEAVEN ARE JUDGED FOR WORKS WHILE WRATH OF GOD IS POURED ON THE LOST!

Revelation 11:15,18 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.18]And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy

the earth.

I Peter 4:17 – For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel

of God?

Romans 10:16,17,13 – But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? [17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and

hearing by the word of God.

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Prophecy Teaching Errors Began in 1730 Evangelical Movements!

Part A

O European Antichrist – Where are you after 64 years of Waiting?

Many continue to wait for the European Antichrist who never Was

Many still wait for the mighty Euro to replace the American Dollar

But Antichrist Will Not come out of Europe, But from the Mid-East,

And both the Euro and American dollar are tied to Middle East Oil!

I’ve Diligently Attempted To Teach And Preach  BOTH Since 1976!

I’ve Taught the Rapture Will Occur On the Sounding of Trumpet 7

And that the “Three He’s” in Daniel 9:27 are Jesus, not Antichrist

Lord willing, I will continue to do so until my last Breath in Flesh!

BEGIN 1976 QUOTE FROM PAGE 78 OF “TECTONIC CHAOS”

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.

The seven heads of the Beast in Revelation 13:1 represent six great world governments that of the past in which Satan has been actively involved.  The seventh world government is now rising again at the present time around Israel and will soon produce the Antichrist.  Prior to God separating from His wife, the nation of Israel, six great world Kingdoms that existed before, and at, the time of the cross are, in chronological order, as follows:

The Egyptian

The Assyrian

The Babylonian

The Medo-Persian

The Grecian

The Roman

The rising seventh Kingdom will incorporate all the cunning and skill in the arts and sciences that have been handed down from the previous six kingdoms.  Man has come a long way since the days of the cruel Pharaoh of the Exodus, but all that modern man has learned is based on the root contributions of these six kingdoms – and soon all the knowledge and expertise of sinful mankind will be centered in the final kingdom.

The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are ten Arab nations who will form the nucleus of the final kingdom, and the ten crowns are the power of the kings that will rile them.  For years we have pictured the typical Arab as a scrawny little fellow on a camel in the desert with a comic expression on his face.  This viewpoint is quickly changing.  Oil is replacing the U.S. dollar in international importance – and soon ten Arab nations will have gained economic control of much of the earth’s wealth.  We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – and the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Red China.  The world power block will block itself as the Arab nations prosper in our midst.

February 8, 2002

Daniel 7:23-25 – 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. [24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he

shall subdue three kings. [25] 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.

When a best selling book was written in the fifties about six emerging European Common Market nations, it began to cause many theologians to rapidly change their minds as to where the antichrist would eventually arise.  Prior to that time most had believed he would arise out of the old Seleucid dynasty, which was formed by one of the generals who divided Alexander’s Grecian Empire into four sections.  Many believed the Assyrian, in the fifth chapter of Micah, would be the antichrist, and that he would arise in, and come out of, modern day Syria. 

Before the European Common Market theory arose, a majority believed antichrist would come out of the southern half of the old Roman Empire, rather than out of the European northern half.  But the great popularity of the aforementioned book ascended to the highest levels of acceptability, and previous beliefs were dwarfed to obscurity.  The book indicated that the six original members of the Common Market would soon be joined by four other nations to reach ten, and then be joined by the eleventh horn, who would be the antichrist of Daniel’s fourth beast in chapter seven.  However, soon there were ten horns, then there were eleven, then more, then fifteen, and soon more will come to be added.  But the astounding popularity of this book, and the thousands of preachers and other teachers who have taught it, have left a legacy that is difficult to convince they might not be correct in what they have taught, and are still teaching.

I have been concerned, since the book was first published, about the possibility it might cause many to be deceived when he does not arise in Europe, but in Syria.  Quite frankly, I watch both Europe and Syria just like a hawk, and, if I do see him rising in Europe, I most assuredly will accept it.  I am prepared for both.  But many are so convinced he must come out of Europe, I doubt if anything would change their minds.  In any case, in future updates I will show my reasons for believing he will come out of the Syria area.

The beast of Daniel 7:23 does indeed represent the old Roman Empire, and it certainly did tread down “the whole world,” that is, the “known” world of Daniel’s day.  Have you ever thought that perhaps we were meant to take the expressions of Daniel’s day concerning the world, and believe that is the only part of the present world the antichrist will dominate completely?  The ten horns will arise out of “the whole world” of Daniel’s day.  But why do they have to be European nations?  Were not Syria,  Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, northern Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and northern Sudan part of the old Roman Empire under the Emperor Trajan?  And are not these countries the descendants of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham, and Keturah’s six sons by Abraham, and the two sons of Abraham’s nephew Lot, Moab and Ammon by his two daughters?  Are not these descendants of Abraham the ones who have hated and battled the sons of Abraham through Israel for many centuries? 

I do not question that Europe will come down as part of the mass of many nations that join antichrist in Jerusalem for the final battle of Armageddon, but I am confident that the initial attack of the tribulation period will be by the antichrist leading Islamic nations against Israel.

An Unhappy anniversary for the Euro

John Grahl

If the monetary union does survive, in the form now planned by EU leaders, the case could turn out to be worse than the ddisease.

 guardian.co.uk, Sunday 1 January 2012 07.00 EST

The start of 2012 marks the second time

the euro has reached its 10th birthday. From a technical and financial point of view, the single currency was launched on 1 January 1999, when all

financial claims in the currencies of the first eleven member states were converted into euros. Three years later this unification became “visible” to European citizens as euro notes and coin replaced those of the member states.

In the runup to the first 10-year anniversary, Jean-Claude Trichet, then president of the European Central Bank (ECB) claimed that the euro had “helped to protect the euro area economy from the many global shocks and considerable turbulence of the last few years“. The mood at the second anniversary could hardly be more different.

Unresolved crises in the eurozone, and its very problematic future, have become the most serious source of shocks and turbulence in the global economy.

Trichet claimed at the same time that monetary union had been good for employment: “Between the launch of the euro and the end of 2007, the euro area created more than 15 million new jobs and the unemployment rate was at its lowest level since the early 1980s.” In fact the European commission’s Ameco database now gives the growth of employment in the original eurozone (the first eleven countries plus Greece) between 1999 and 2007 as 13.7 million. But, of this total, two thirds, or 8.9 million, took place in the “periphery” – in Ireland, Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal.

In other words, the growth of employment was not due to the good functioning of the monetary union but to its malfunctions. It depended on widening trade imbalances – huge surpluses in Germany and some of its neighbours against widening deficits in the periphery, covered by unsustainable capital flows from the former to the latter. Even so the employment performance of the eurozone was not such an impressive achievement. What Trichet called the lowest level of unemployment “since the early 1980s” was still, in 2007, before the global crisis pushed it back up, 7.6%. In the three countries which chose not to adopt the euro, Denmark, Sweden and the UK it stood at 3.8%, 6.1% and 6.6% respectively.

In fact the first decade of the euro followed two decades of restrictive macroeconomic policies – aimed, in the 80s, at bringing down inflation via high interest rates and, in the 90s, to prepare for monetary union by increasing taxes and cutting public expenditure.

Candidate members for monetary union sacrificed development and employment to come into compliance with the Maastricht conditions, later perpetuated as the stability and growth pact.

Whether the eurozone can survive the crisis will not be discussed in detail here. However, if the monetary union does survive, in the form now planned by EU leaders, then the cure could turn out to be worse than the disease.

What is now termed “fiscal union” is nothing of the kind; it does not involve a genuine co-ordination of macroeconomic policies or significant transfers of tax revenues. Rather it is an authoritarian structure that would subject the weaker states to permanent and extremely intrusive surveillance, formally by the commission and the ECB, in reality by Germany and the stronger northern European states.

The “surveillance union” is likely to be as dysfunctional in economic terms as it is politically undemocratic. One alarming aspect of German views of the current “reforms” is a fascination with numerical limits – on public spending,

on public borrowing and so on. In many ways these are analogous to the Friedmanite notion of numerical limits on the money stock and, just like money supply rules, they will prove to be either ineffective or dysfunctional. Public debt is not a control variable available to policymakers; it represents a relationship between the public sector and the unstable, unpredictable, private sector which does not admit of mechanical arithmetic constraints.

Remember Hitler’s Lair in the Thick Forests of Poland?

Remember Hitler’s Lair in the thick forests of Poland?

Assad is following His example in a thick Syrian Forest,

Which is located in the northwestern Alawite Mountains.

It Can Be Evacuated by Helicopter to a Syria-Russia Port.

The strong man eventually replacing him may be Antichrist,

A Muslim Mahdi whose lies they’ll believe by God’s Delusion!

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 – And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Begin Excerpt from Wikipedia

Wolf’s Lair is the standard English name for Wolfsschanze, Adolf Hitler‘s first World War II Eastern Front military headquarters, one of several Führerhauptquartier (Führer Headquarters) or FHQs located in various parts of Europe. The complex, which was built for Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, was located in the Masurian woods, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the small East Prussian town of Rastenburg, now Kętrzyn in Poland.

The original bunker system was constructed by Organisation Todt, but the later planned enlargement was never finished; the expansion work was stopped only a few days before the Russian advance to Angerburg (now Węgorzewo), only 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away.

Hitler first arrived at the Wolf’s Lair late on the night of 23 June 1941, and departed for the last time on 20 November 1944. Overall, he spent over 800 days there during that 3½-year period.

The complex was blown up and abandoned on 25 January 1945, but many of the bunkers were so thick that their damaged walls and ceilings remain. The remains are located in Poland at the hamlet of Gierłoż (German: Forst Görlitz) near Kętrzyn.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

Assad will fight from new mountain fortress if civil war engulfs Syria

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

January 2, 2012, 9:30 AM (GMT+02:00)

As Arab League monitors fail in their mission to curb brutal regime violence in Syria and the ten-month popular defiance continues to rage, President Bashar Assad is digging in for a full-scale civil war

debkafile reports exclusively that a fortress is under construction for the Syrian ruler, family, his loyal generals and ruling elite in the northwestern Alawite (Al-Ansariyyah) Mountains – should Damascus become too hot for them.

From there, the Assads will continue to fight for their survival.

These mountains have the only dense forests in the vicinity of Syria’s Mediterranean coast.

The Al-Ansariyyah range averages 32 kilometers (20 miles) in bre adth

and a peak elevation of just over 1,200 meters. The tallest mountain, Nabi Yunis east of Latakia, is 1,562 meters (5,125 feet) high. The range slopes down from its northern tip to an average altitude of 900 meters (3,000 feet) and 600 meters in the south.

Our military and intelligence sources report Syrian engineering corps crews working at speed to build a fortified encampment, partly inside caves and tunnels, on the wooded slopes.

Its perimeter is enclosed with anti-tank defenses armed with anti-air batteries.

When finished, the camp will be one of the most heavily fortified strongholds in the Middle East.

In support of the Syrian dictator, large groups of Alawite families began moving in the last week of November from the mixed towns of Latakia, Hama and Homs to new homes in the encampment – apparently on a signal from Assad’s intelligence and security services.

Fortified facilities stocked with supplies are being provided for Alawite families unable to leave their towns and villages.

This mass relocation encompasses around a million Alawites, or a third of the 3.5 million members of this deviant offspring of this ruling Shiite Muslim faith, which numbers just over one-tenth of Syria’s total population.

By reestablishing his headquarters in a mountain fortress, Bashar Assad hopes to achieve two goals:

1. To keep his Alawite following out of harm’s way in a full-scale civil war. They face bitter Sunni revenge for the brutal persecution its adherents have suffered from Assad father and son for 37 years.

2. Cluster ing Alawite families

in protected cantons will guarantee their loyalty to Bashar Assad and his clan.

Our Middle East sources report that not all Alawite clan leaders are willing to following the ruler into his mountain bastion.

Some communities have gone over to the other side, for the first time in the ten-month popular uprising against his regime

In the flashpoint Homs and Hama regions, a dozen Alawite village chiefs have struck deals with local rebel militia chiefs including the Free Syrian Army for guaranteed immunity from attack provided their sons refuse to join Assad’s state-backed private paramilitary Shabiha.

The inability of Assad and his henchmen to prevent these desertions from his own clan betokens the president’s declining authority beneath the bloody surface of the contest in the strife-torn country.

Iran reports nuclear progress as US tightens sanctions

Parisa Hafezi (Reuters)

1 January 2012

TEHRAN – Iran announced a nuclear fuel breakthrough and test-fired a new radar-evading medium-range missile in the Gulf on Sunday, moves that could further antagonise the West at a time when Tehran is trying to avert harsh new sanctions on its oil industry.

U.S. President Barack Obama signed a law on Saturday imposing tougher financial sanctions to penalise Iran for a nuclear research programme that the West suspects is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

The move could for the first time hurt Tehran’s oil exports, and the European Union is due to consider similar steps soon.

As tensions have risen, Iran threatened last week to close the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow Gulf shipping lane through which 40 percent of world oil flows, if sanctions hit its oil exports.

At the same time, it signalled on Saturday that it was ready to resume stalled international talks on its nuclear programme.

It says the programme is completely peaceful and, in what Iranian media described as an engineering breakthrough, state telev

ision said Iran had successfully produced and tested its own uranium fuel rods for use in its nuclear power plants.

The rods were made in Iran and inserted into the core of Tehran’s nuclear research reactor, the television reported.

Iran is trying to develop its own nuclear fuel cycle

to power reactors without international help.

Western countries are sceptical of some of Tehran’s engineering claims but say they fear Iran’s enrichment of uranium to make fuel could eventually lead to it producing a weapon.

SABRE-RATTLING

In what has become part of a pattern of sabre-rattling in recent weeks, Iran is finishing a 10-day Gulf naval exercise.

Deputy Navy Commander Mahmoud Mousavi told IRNA state news agency it had successfully test fired a medium-range surface-to-air missile equipped with “the latest sophisticated anti-radar technologies”.

Iran has apparently delayed pre-announced plans to test its long-range missiles during the drill, saying the weapons would be launched in the next few days.

Its long-range missiles could hit Israel or U.S. bases in the Middle East.

The United States and Israel say they have not ruled out military action against Iran if diplomacy fails to resolve the dispute over its nuclear programme.

Western analysts say Iran sometimes exaggerates its nuclear advances to try to ga in leverage

in its stand-off with the West.

The U.N. Security Council has already imposed four rounds of global sanctions on Iran, but Russia and China have refused to back sanctions that would seriously affect Iran’s oil industry, so the EU and United States have taken measures on their own.

Just how far the latest U.S. measures will go could depend on how Obama decides to implement them.

The U.S. defence funding bill, approved by Congress last week, aims to reduce the oil revenues that make up the bulk of Iran’s export earnings. Obama signed it in Hawaii on Saturday, where he was spending the Christmas holiday.

If enforced strictly, the sanctions could make it nearly impossible for most refiners to buy crude from Iran, the world’s fourth biggest producer.

POSSIBLE WAIVERS

However, Obama asked for scope to apply the measures flexibly, and will have discretion to waive penalties.

Senior U.S. officials said Washington was consulting foreign partners to ensure the new measures did not harm global energy markets.

Despite its missile tests, war games and threats to close the Hormuz Strait, Iran has also made conciliatory gestures, saying it wants to resume talks with major powers, stalled for a year, about its nuclear research programme.

Western officials suggest the offer may be a stalling tactic to avert sanctions and buy time for more nuclear progress.

Iranian media reported on Saturday that nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili would write to the EU foreign policy chief to say Iran was ready for talks.

A senior Western diplomat in Tehran, who asked not to be identified, said the stepped-up Iranian threats show “that they are worried about losing petrodollars, on which more than 60 percent of the economy depends”.

The rising tensions are having an impact at home. Iran’s currency has nosedived in recent weeks as ordinary Iranians have moved money from savings accounts into gold or foreign currency.

The price of staple foods has increased by up to 40 percent in recent months and many critics have put the blame on increasing isolation brought about by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s economic and foreign policies.

Iran proposes new nuclear talks with world powers

Tehran’s nuclear negotiator formally calls on the six powers to return to the negotiation table, signaling that Iran is feeling toll of global sanctions

Associated Press

Iran has proposed a new round of talks about its controversial nuclear program<

/a> with the six world powers, the country’ s top nuclear negotiator

said Saturday.

Saeed Jalili said he has formally called on the six powers – the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – to return to the negotiating table with Iran.

Related stories:

Iran denies testing long-range missiles

US aircraft carrier ‘spotted’ in Iran wargames zone

EU planning new sanctions on Iran

The invitation comes in the wake of new sanctions recently imposed by the West over Tehran’s uranium enrichment program, which is a potential pathway to making nuclear arms.

The last round of negotiations between Iran and the five permanent members of

the UN Security Council plus Germany in January in Istanbul, Turkey, ended in failure.

The US and some of its allies accuse Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop atomic weapons.

Iran has denied the charge, saying the program is for peaceful purposes only and is geared toward generating electricity and producing medical radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.

“We formally declared to them (the intent) to return to the path of dialogue for cooperation,” Jalili told Iranian diplomats in Tehran, according to the official IRNA news agency.

Jalili did not say when or through what channel he issued the invitation.

However, Iran’s ambassador to Germany, Ali Reza Sheikh Attar, said earlier Saturday that Jalili was to send a letter soon to EU’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to arrange a new round of talks.

It is the latest signal from Tehran that the country appears to be feeling the toll of international sanctions.

EU open to talks

Earlier Saturday, a European Union foreign policy spokesman told Reuters that the EU is open to meaningful talks with Tehran provided there are no preconditions on the Iranian side.

The spokesman, Michael Mann said EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton wrote to Jalili in October and had not yet had a response.

“We continue to pursue our twin-track approach and are open for meaningful discussions on confidence-building measures, without preconditions from the Iranian side,” he said.

The UN has imposed four rounds of sanctions on Tehran over the nuclear enrichment, and separately, the US and the European Union have imposed their own tough economic and financial sanctions.

Washington‘s measures target exports of gasoline and other refined petroleum products to Iran and have banned US banks from doing business with foreign banks that provide services to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Last month, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad acknowledged that the current penalties were impeding Iran’s financial institutions, saying, “our banks cannot make international transactions anymore.”

The US and Israel have not ruled out a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities if Tehran doesn’t stop its nuclear program.

But Jalili warned Tehran would make any aggressor regret a decision to attack Iran.

“We will give a response that will make the aggressor regret any threat against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Jalili said.
