Jesus is the chief cornerstone (Eph.2:20) of His living body (Col.1:24), the church of God (1 Cor.10:32).
Jesus is the chief cornerstone of the church of God because He IS God (Re.1:6).
The Word was WITH God in the beginning. The Word was God (Jn.1:1-3 below).
Jesus is the Word manifested in the flesh, who dwelt among us (Jn.1:14 below).
The Word of God will fight the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:13, Re.19:15 below).
In the Beginning
Jn.1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Jn.1:14).
Jn.1:2 The same was in the beginning WITH God (Jn.1:1 above).
Jn.1:3 All things were made by him (the Word); and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The Birth of the Word/Jesus
Jn 1:14 And the Word (Jn.1:1-3 above) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Re.12:5 And she brought forth a man child (Jn.1:14 above, Matt.1:21 below), who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Re.19:15 below): and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
Matt.1:21 And she shall bring forth a son (Re.12:5 above)., and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
The Word of God at the battle of Armageddon
Re.19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God (Jn.1:1-2, Jn.1:14 above).
Re.19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron (Re.12:5 above): and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

During the Millennium – ALL Nations which CAME AGAINST Jerusalem to Battle
Zechariah 14:16 through 14:19 (below) are referencing events during the Millennium for those nations which CAME AGAINST Jerusalem at the Sixth TRUMPET (Re.9:13-21).
The Millennium will occur directly after the battle of Armageddon.
During the Millennium, the Lord will rule all nations with a rod of iron (Re.19:15, Re.12:5 below).
Zech.14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations (Eze.39:2) which CAME AGAINST Jerusalem (Zech.14:2) shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES (Zech.14:18-19 below).
Zech.14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zech.14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
Zech.14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
Re.19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron (Re.12:5 below): and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Re. 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Re.19:15 above): and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

The Tower of Babel
God has made of one blood all nations of men (Acts 17:26 below).
I believe that when the Lord confounded the language at the Tower of Babel (Gen.11:1-9 below), what also accompanied the confounding of the language was that with the many languages that were given, the skin pigmentation and features of the people changed according to the languages given, so that when the people were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth (Gen.11:8-9 below), the skin pigmentation/features went with them to their respective regions of the earth?
I believe that people in the “new” earth will speak the same one language spoken on earth prior to the LORD’s confounding the language at the Tower of Babel.
Acts 17:26 And hath made of ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation (Gen.11:8-9 below):
Gen.11:1 And the whole earth was of ONE language, and of ONE speech.
Gen.11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Gen.11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
Gen.11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Gen.11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Gen.11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Gen.11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language (Gen.11:9 below), that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen.11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of ALL the earth (Gen.11:9 below): and they left off to build the city.
Gen.11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth (Gen.11:7 above): and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of ALL the earth (Acts 17:26 above).

Mystery Babylon
Mystery Babylon is a CITY (Re.18:10, Re.18:16, Re.18:18-19 below). It is the CITY "where also our Lord was crucified" (Re.11:8, Heb.13:12 below).
The mystery of Babylon the great is that it is the holy city Jerusalem which will play a dual role once the false prophet sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4 below).
The holy city Jerusalem is the pleasant land (Dan.8:9 below); it is the faithful city which has become an harlot (Isa.1:21 below),
There is a curse on Jerusalem in this earth; in the new earth there will be no more curse (Re.22:3 below).
Because there is a curse, Jerusalem will play a dual role - one: the holy city Jerusalem, and, secondly, that great city Babylon (Re.18:10).
Also note at Re.21:10, below, that in the new earth the holy city Jerusalem's name is complete, "that great city, the holy Jerusalem".
Revelation17:9 states that the seven heads (Re.17:3) on the scarlet colored beast are seven mountain on which the woman sits. The seven continents of the earth are the seven mountains. In the beginning, the waters of the earth covered the mountains (Ps.104:6 below). Today we live upon that portion of the mountains protruding from the waters.
The many waters Babylon sits upon represents peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues (Re.17:15). Therefore, Babylon's power will be worldwide and will involve all of its people.
The beast of Revelation 13:11 (the false prophet) is seen as the scarlet colored beast once his sits in that great city Babylon.
The false prophet worships a god his fathers knew not (Dan.11:38), a god of forces, that great city Babylon, and honors her with riches (Re.17:4, Re.18:16).
The horns/kings on the scarlet colored beast’s head (Re.17:16-18) play their role upon the world scene as they come against the great city Babylon and fight the battle of Armageddon.
Re.11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great CITY, which spiritually is called Sodom and Eqypt, WHERE ALSO OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED (Heb.13:12 below).
Heb.13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, SUFFERED WITHOUT (outside) THE GATE (Re.11:8 above).
2 Thess.2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth HIMSELF above ALL that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God (Re.11:1), SHEWING HIMSELF that he is God (Dan.11:36-37).
Dan.8:9 And out of one of them (the fourth kingdom - Dan.7:7, Dan.7:23) came forth a little horn (Dan.7:8), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the PLEASANT LAND (Isa.1:21 below).
Isa.1:21 How is the faithful CITY become an harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. (Re.18:2, 10, 16, 18-19 below)
Re.22:3 And THERE SHALL BE NO MORE CURSE (Isa.1:21, Re.11:8 above): but the throne of God (the Father) and of the Lamb (the Savior) shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Re.21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Ps.104:6 Thou coveredst it (the earth) with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains (Re.17:9).
Mystery Babylon is a CITY
Re.18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Re.18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great CITY Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Re.18:16 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!
Re.18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great CITY!
Re.18:19 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.

Melchizedek
Melchisedec was without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God (Heb.7:3 below). He was priest of the most high God (Gen.14:18 below). Melchisedec was the King of righteousness, the King of peace (Heb.7:2 below).
Jesus is made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedic (Ps.110:4, Heb.5:6, Heb.6:20, Heb.7:17-20 below).
I believe that Christ was manifested in the flesh and dwelt upon earth as Melchizedek PRIOR TO the Word made flesh who dwelt among us, Jesus, the Son of God.
Gen.14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.
Gen.14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Gen.14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all (Heb.7:4 below).
Ps.110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Heb.5:6 below).
Heb.5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec (Ps.110:4 above)
Heb.6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec (Heb.5:6 above).
Heb.7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
Heb.7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Heb.7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Heb.7:4 Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils (Gen.14:10 above).
Heb.7:17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever (Heb.6:20 above) after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb.7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Heb.7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Heb.7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:
Heb.7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
Heb.7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

The Lamb of God will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords
At the Sixth SEAL the Lamb of God will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Re.6:12-17 below).
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29 below), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain(Ps.104:6 below) and island were moved out of their places (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8);
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7 below); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
Ps.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

Earth’s Location of the Garden of Eden, the Paradise of God
I believe that upon this earth the PLACE that would BECOME the holy city Jerusalem was the PLACE of the Garden of Eden, the paradise of God, that Adam and Eve inhabited?
I tend to believe this since the paradise of God and the tree of life will be in the heavenly Jerusalem in the new earth.
In the beginning upon the earth the tree of life stood in the midst of the garden (Gen.2:9 below).
In the "new heaven" and the "new earth" (2 Pe.3:10-13, Re.21:1, Isa.65:17), the tree of life (which stands in the midst of the paradise of God - Re.2:7 below), is in the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem (Heb.12:22, Re.22:1-2, Re.22:14 below).

I tend to believe this since the paradise of God and the tree of life will be in the heavenly Jerusalem in the new earth.
In the beginning upon the earth the tree of life stood in the midst of the garden (Gen.2:9 below).
In the "new heaven" and the "new earth" (2 Pe.3:10-13, Re.21:1, Isa.65:17), the tree of life (which stands in the midst of the paradise of God - Re.2:7 below), is in the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem (Heb.12:22, Re.22:1-2, Re.22:14 below).
I believe Bible history began with Adam and Eve in the place that would become the holy city Jerusalem and Bible history will end at the holy city Jerusalem with the battle of Gog and Magog.

Those who will Live and Reign WITH Christ during the Millennium
Those who will LIVE and REIGN with Christ during the Millennium, (Re.20:4 below) are the body of Christ throughout all ages (the bride of Christ). The entire body of Christ will be in heaven at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).
The rest of the dead do not live again until AFTER the thousand years are FINISHED (Re.20:5 below). They are those whom the saints of the most High will judge throughout the Millennium (Re.20:4, Dan.7:22, 1 Cor.6:2-3 below).
Those who take part in the first resurrection AFTER the thousand years (the Millennium) will be priests of God AND of Christ, and they will reign (not live and reign – Re.20:4 below) with Him a thousand years (Re.20:6 below), after the Millennium, in the “new” earth.
Re.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM (Dan.7:22, 1 Cor.6:2-3 above): and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived AND reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re.20:5 But THE REST OF THE DEAD LIVED NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED. This is the first resurrection (Re.20:6 below).
Re.20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection (Re.20:5 above): on such the second death (Re.20:14) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God AND of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Dan.7:22 Until the Ancient of days (Dan.7:13) came, and JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN TO THE SAINTS of the most High (1 Cor.6:2-3 below, Re.15:3); and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan.7:18).
1 Cor.6:2 Do ye not know that THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD (Dan.7:22 above)? and if the world shall be judged by YOU, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1 Cor.6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Seven Trumpets GIVEN and PREPARE to Sound – Re.8:1-6
At the Seventh SEAL heaven and earth have witnessed the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17 below).
Directly after the Sixth Seal, at the Seventh SEAL, Seven TRUMPETS are GIVEN (Re.8:2 below); the seven angels are “prepared” to sound (Re.8:6 below).
Trumpets cannot sound until Trumpets are GIVEN to sound.
Sixth SEAL
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the SUN became black as sackcloth of hair, and the MOON became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29 above), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8);
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us (Lk.23:30) from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Isa.2:19, Lk.21:27), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY of his wrath is come (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
Seventh SEAL
Re.8:1 And when he had opened the Seventh SEAL, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Re.8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them WERE GIVEN seven TRUMPETS (Re.8:6 below).
Re.8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar (Re.6:9), having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Re.8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints (Re.8:3 above), ASCENDED UP before God out of the angel’s hand.
Re.8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Re.8:6 And the seven angles which HAD the seven trumpets PREPARED themselves to sound (Re.8:2 above).

The Chronology of Prophetic Events
Trumpet events FOLLOW Seal events FOLLOWED BY Plague events.
The appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (1 Thess.5:2-3, Acts 2:20-21, Lk.21:25-37, Isa.13:6-11, Jer.30:7, Joel 2:31-32, Re.6:12-17) is a (Sixth) SEAL event, not to be confused with the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension, a separate event.
At the Seventh, and final, SEAL (Re.8:1), seven TRUMPETS are GIVEN (Re.8:2), and seven angels PREPARE themselves to sound (Re.8:2, 6). The TRUMPET events cannot occur until the Trumpets are GIVEN at the Seventh, and final, SEAL.
Note that those who have gained the victory over the beast (Re.15:2) are in heaven when the Seven Last PLAGUES are GIVEN and poured out (Re.15:1, Re.15:6-8, Re.16:1). The Seventh TRUMPET ascension has taken place (1 Thess.4:16-17, 1 Cor.15:52, Re.10:7, Dan.12:7).

The Bottomless Pit
The Bottomless Pit (Re.9:1-2 below), Hell, the Lake of Fire (Re.19:20, Re.20:10, Re.20:14-15), Perdition are one in the same. Satan is the king/angel of the bottomless pit (Re.9:11).
The Bottomless Pit is a reality upon this earth in the spiritual realm. The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem on this earth, and the Dead Sea is outside “that great city, the holy Jerusalem” (Re.21:10) in the “new” earth as well (Re.22:15 below).
Re.22:15 For without (that great city, the holy Jerusalem, Re.21:10) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie (Re.21:8 above, Isa.66:24, Re.14:9-11 above).
At the Fifth Trumpet, the First Woe, the Fifth Angel is GIVEN the key to OPEN the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2 below).
Re. 9:1 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 (Re.11:7, Re.17:8).
Re. 9:2 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.
The four beasts and the little horn of Daniel chapter 7 ALL ascend out of the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8).
The fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1. The little horn of Daniel chapter 7 is seen as the “another” beast of Revelation 13:11.
Directly AFTER the battle of Armageddon the beast of Revelation 13:1 and the false prophet, the “another” beast of Revelation 13:11 are BOTH cast into the pit, into a lake of fire (Re.19:20 below),
Re.19:20 And the beast (Re.13:1) was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him (Re.13:11-15), with which he deceived them that HAD received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his IMAGE (Re.14:9-11 below). These BOTH were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone (Re.20:10, Re.21:8).
At Revelation 20:1-3 (below), this Fifth Trumpet angel is AGAIN SEEN HAVING the key to the bottomless pit to cast and bind Satan in the bottomless pit where the beast (Re.13:1) and the false prophet (Re.13:11) ARE (Re.19:20 above, Re.20:10). Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit for the duration of the Millennium, a thousand years.
Re.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1) and a great chain in his hand.
Re.20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Re.20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit (Re:9:1-2, Re.11:7, Re.17:8), and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, TILL THE THOUSAND YEARS SHOULD BE FULFILLED: and AFTER THAT he must be loosed a little season.
A little season (Re.20:3 above) is seven years, the same amount time the Fifth SEAL saints are told to wait (Re.6:11 below).
Re.6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them (all the souls under the altar); and it was said unto them, that THEY SHOULD REST YET FOR A LITTLE SEASON, until their fellowservants (prophets - Amos 3:7) ALSO and their brethren, that should be killed AS THEY WERE, should be fulfilled.
Anyone who follows the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 will take part in the second death (Re.14:9-11 below).
Re. 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark (Re.14:11 below) in his forehead, or in his hand,
Re.14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God (Re.15:1, Re.15:7, Re.16:1, Re.16:9), which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone (Re.19:20 above, Re.20:10 below) in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb (Isa.66:24 above):
Re.14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever (Re.20:10 above): and they have no rest day nor night, who WORSHIP the beast and his IMAGE, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name (Re.19:20 above).
In the "new” earth, outside "that great city, the holy Jerusalem" (Re.21:10), are those who have taken part in the second death (Re.21:8, Isa.66:24 below). In the "new” earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1), and those whose who have taken part in the second death their CARCASES can be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10 below).
Re.20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Re.20:10, Re.21:8 below).
Re.21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone (Re.20:10, Isa.66:24, Mk. 9:43-44low): WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.
Isa.66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched (Mk.9:43-44 below); and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Daniel 9:27 - A Misconception of the False Prophet and a Seven-Year Covenant
The beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) will not be on the world scene seven years prior to the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) to be able make a seven-year covenant.
The beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2) 1335 days prior to the ascension. Thirteen hundred and thirty-five days is 3 yrs., 8 mo., 15 days
The beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit AFTER the beast of Revelation 13:1.
The beast of Revelation 13:1 will be allowed to then CONTINUE (Re.13:5) with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) once the beast/false prophet has ascended from the bottomless pit.
The day that saints of the most High come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12 below) prior to the ascension coincides with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) ascending from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2).
BOTH these beasts will then come against those blessed who have come to the 1335 days prior to the Seventh TRUMPET.
A misunderstanding of Daniel 9:27 (below) occurs when we look at that Scripture as referring to the false prophet.
A misunderstanding of that Scripture also occurs when we look at the time frame of that Scripture as years instead of DAYS, as it is written.
Daniel 9:25 speaks of Messiah the Prince.
Daniel 9:26 breaks the continuity of thought between Daniel 9:25 and Daniel 9:27, so that the “he” referenced at Daniel 9:27 refers back up to Daniel 9:25, Messiah the Prince.
Messiah the Prince is the Prince of Princes/Jesus Christ (Dan.9:25 below).
Messiah is the false prophet (Dan.9:26 below).
He (Dan.9:27 below) refers to Messiah the Prince (Dan.9:25 below), Jesus Christ.
ONE WEEK (Dan.9:27 below) prior to the Seventh Trumpet ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) will confirm the covenant with many. The many during that last week will be the 144,000.
With the slaying of the two prophets (Re.11:8-12), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) will cause the sacrifice and the oblation of the saints of the most High to cease (Matt.24:9, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7). The slaying of the two prophets ends the tribulation except for the 144,000 who will endure to be those who are alive and remain at the ascension.
For the overspreading of abominations that have occurred (Dan.9:27 below), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) shall make the earth desolate, even to the consummation and that determined (the seven last plagues - Re.16:1), will be poured out upon the desolate (Gentiles - 1 Thess.4:5, Eph.2:12) remaining upon the earth after the ascension.
Dan.12:12 BLESSED (Re.14:12-13) is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS. (1335 days)
Dan. 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince (Jesus) shall be SEVEN WEEKS (49 days), and THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS (62 weeks, or 1 year, 2 months, 14 days): the street shall be built again, AND THE WALL, even in troublous times.
Dan. 9:26 And after THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS (62 weeks, or 1 year, 2 months, 14 days) shall Messiah (the false prophet - Dan.7:20, Dan.7:24, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:9, Dan.8:11, Dan.8:24-25, Dan.11:36, Dan.11:37-38, 2 Thess.2:4, Re.13:11-17, Re.17:8) be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince (Satan) 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.
Dan. 9:27 And he (Messiah the Prince - Dan.9:25 above) shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, 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 beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2) 1335 days prior to the ascension. Thirteen hundred and thirty-five days is 3 yrs., 8 mo., 15 days
The beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit AFTER the beast of Revelation 13:1.
The beast of Revelation 13:1 will be allowed to then CONTINUE (Re.13:5) with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) once the beast/false prophet has ascended from the bottomless pit.
The day that saints of the most High come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12 below) prior to the ascension coincides with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) ascending from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2).
BOTH these beasts will then come against those blessed who have come to the 1335 days prior to the Seventh TRUMPET.
A misunderstanding of Daniel 9:27 (below) occurs when we look at that Scripture as referring to the false prophet.
A misunderstanding of that Scripture also occurs when we look at the time frame of that Scripture as years instead of DAYS, as it is written.
Daniel 9:25 speaks of Messiah the Prince.
Daniel 9:26 breaks the continuity of thought between Daniel 9:25 and Daniel 9:27, so that the “he” referenced at Daniel 9:27 refers back up to Daniel 9:25, Messiah the Prince.
Messiah the Prince is the Prince of Princes/Jesus Christ (Dan.9:25 below).
Messiah is the false prophet (Dan.9:26 below).
He (Dan.9:27 below) refers to Messiah the Prince (Dan.9:25 below), Jesus Christ.

The Tithe for the children of Israel
It is God’s REQUIREMENT of the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) to tithe a tenth part (Nu.18:26, Neh.10:38, Matt.23:23, Lk.11:42, Lk.18:12 below).
The church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below, the living body of Christ Jesus - Col.1:24), whom Jesus has made “free” (Jn.8:36 below), are not under a REQUIREMENT, but are the “cheerful giver” as the giver has purposed in his own heart (2 Cor.9:7 below).
Nu.18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Neh.10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
Matt.23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone (Lk.11:42 below).
Lk.11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone (Matt.23:23 above).
Lk.18:12 I (the Pharisee) fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.
Jn.8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
2 Cor.9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

The Lord God of Israel has VISITED
The Lord God of Israel (Ps.41:13) has VISITED (Lk.1:68 below) through Jesus, The Word of God made flesh, who dwelt among us (Jn.1:14 below). The Word was God (Re.1:6, Lk.1:47 below).
In Jesus dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9 below) -
o God the Father
o The Holy Spirit of God the Father
o The Word of God the Father
The only begotten son of God the Father (Jn.1:14 below), Jesus (The Word - Jn.1:1, Jn.1:14 below), His beloved Son (Matt.3:17 below), was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt.1:20 below).
Lk.1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and redeemed his people,
Jn.1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, (Matt.1:20, Matt.3:17 below)) full of grace and truth.
Re.1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God (Jn.1:1 above) AND his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Lk.1:47 And my (Mary’s) spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour (Jn.1:14, Jn.1:1, Re.1:6 above).
Col.2:9 For in him dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Jn.1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Re.1:6, Lk.1:47 below).
Matt.3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son (Matt.1:20 below), in whom I am well pleased.
Matt.1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost (Jn.1:14, Matt.3:17 above).

Who wrote the book of Revelation?
I believe that the Apostle John IS the author of the Book of Revelation.
John must prophesy AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings (Re.10:11 below) the end-time prophetic little book message.
Revelation’s little book prophecy is the prophecy the two witnesses will prophesy for a thousand two hundred and threescore days (Re.11:3 below) prior to the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
THEN IT CAN BE SAID that the entire gospel will have been preached throughout the entire world (Mk.16:15 below).
Mk.16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Re.10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings (Re.11:3 below).
Re.11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Re.11:7 And when they shall have FINISHED their testimony (Re.11:3 above), the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

The Book of Daniel’s Scripture of Truth
The Book of Daniel’s “scripture of truth” (Dan.10:21) message gives the same end-time prophetic biblical message as the little book of Revelation chapter 10.
The “scripture of truth” and Revelation 10’s little book prophetic biblical message contained in the book of Revelation are to be studied in conjunction with each other to be able to understand Bible prophecy.

Who are the Two Witnesses?
Let us make a comparison between the two witnesses with the saints of the most High -
The Two Witnesses
1. The two witnesses will receive God-given power.
2. They will have this power for 3 ½ years (Re.11:3).
3. After they have finished their testimony, after the 3 ½ years of power, the beast will make war against them, and he will overcome them, and he will kill them (Re.11:7).
The saints of the most High
1. War will be made with the saints of the most High (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25).
2. The mighty and holy people will be destroyed (Dan.8:24).
3. Those who do not worship the image of the beast will be killed (Re.13:15).
4. It will take 3 ½ years to accomplish to scatter the power of the holy people (Dan.12:7).
The end time prophetic message that John is to prophesy again is a bitter/sweet message, which, in God’s good time, will be prophesied before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings (Re.10:9-11).
The bitter part of this end time prophecy is that the saints of the most High (Dan.7:22), the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, Gal.1:13), Jesus Christ’s living body, those called to be saints (1 Cor.1:2, Ps.37:28), will face the tribulation under the beasts/kings of Revelation 13. They are those blessed (Re.14:12-13) who come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:11-12) prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17, 1 Cor.15:52, Re.10:7, Dan.12:6-7) ascension.
The Jew in Christ through faith and the Gentile in Christ through faith (Rom.5:1), having become one body (Eph.2:16), the living body of Jesus Christ (1 Cor.12:17), have BECOME, individually, as well as collectively, the church of God (1 Cor.10:32).
I conclude that the church of God are the two witnesses.
The two witnesses will be given God-given power (Re.11:3) and will prophesy John's bitter/sweet message (Re.10:9-11), the scripture of truth (Dan.10:21), for 1260 days (3 1/2 years). When they have finished their testimony, AFTER the 1260 days, the beast/king that ascends out of the bottomless pit, will make WAR against them, he will overcome them, and he will kill them (Re.11:7).
The war (Re.11:7, Dan.7:21, 25) will conclude with the last two of the church of God (1 Cor.10:32), the two PROPHETS, being slain at the beginning of the last week prior to the ascension (Re.11:8-12, 1 Thess.4:16-17).

The Lost Book of Nostradomus
It is alleged that a lost book of Nostradomous has been found and is being studied by scholars.
I am not sure if the scholars are claiming that in the year 2012 we would have the battle of Armageddon, or the battle of Gog or Magog, or the total END of life on earth.
Neither of these three events will occur in 2012.
From the end of the tribulation period the world will continue on through the Seven Last Plagues and the Millennium (a thousand years), to finally be destroyed AFTER the battle of Gog and Magog.
If I would venture a speculation/a guess of what COULD happen in 2012 (if the event has not occurred prior to that year) would be the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17).
However, the Scriptures do declare we do not know the day or hour.

Silence in Heaven
I believe that heaven’s half an hour of silence (Re.8:1 below) is attributed to the solemnity of witnessing the prior day’s Sixth Seal event and heaven’s knowledge that they will be witnessing the giving of the Seven Trumpets, which will bring on prophetic Trumpet events.
At the Seventh SEAL (Re.8:1 below), heaven and earth have witnessed the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17).
At the Seventh, and final, SEAL, saints REMAIN upon the earth their prayers ascending up before God (Re.8:3-4 below).
Saints who come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12 below) prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16) ascension will be those who will face the “tribulation” under the beasts of Revelation 13.
Re.8:1 And when he had opened the Seventh SEAL, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Re.8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them WERE GIVEN seven TRUMPETS (Re.8:6 below).
Re.8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar (Re.6:9), having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Re.8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints (Re.8:3 above), ASCENDED UP before God out of the angel’s hand.
Re.8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Re.8:6 And the seven angles which HAD the seven trumpets PREPARED themselves to sound (Re.8:2 above).
Dan.12:12 BLESSED (Re.14:12-13 below) is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS (1335 days).
Re.14:12 Here is the patience of the SAINTS (Re.8:3-4 above): here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Re.12:17 above).
Re.14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write BLESSED (Dan.12:12) ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH (Re.16:6): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Re.8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar (Re.6:9), having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Re.8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints (Re.8:3 above), ASCENDED UP before God out of the angel’s hand.
Re.8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Re.8:6 And the seven angles which HAD the seven trumpets PREPARED themselves to sound (Re.8:2 above).
Dan.12:12 BLESSED (Re.14:12-13 below) is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS (1335 days).
Re.14:12 Here is the patience of the SAINTS (Re.8:3-4 above): here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Re.12:17 above).
Re.14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write BLESSED (Dan.12:12) ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH (Re.16:6): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

The Sixth SEAL occurs BEFORE the Seventh TRUMPET
At the Sixth SEAL, heaven and earth will witness the appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17 below), as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
The Sixth SEAL should not be confused with the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17, 1 Cor.15:52, Re.10:7 below). These are separate events.
Trumpet events begin when the trumpets are GIVEN to sound. They are given at the Seventh, and final, SEAL (Re.8:1-6).
The Sixth SEAL is a single day event (Re.6:17 below).
The Seventh TRUMPET is a plural days event (Re.10:7 below).
There are seven years between the Sixth SEAL and the Seventh TRUMPET.
At the Sixth SEAL, the Lord sits on a throne of heavenly glory (Re.6:16 below).
At the Seventh TRUMPET, the Lord descends from heaven with the trump of God (1 Thess.4:16 below).
Sixth SEAL
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8);
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from the wrath of the Lamb (Rom.9:22-24):
Re.6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
Seventh TRUMPET
1 Thess.4:16 For the Lord HIMSELF shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God (Re.10:7 below): and the dead in Christ shall rise first (1 Cor.15:52 below):
1 Thess.4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Re.10:7 But in the DAYS of the voice of the SEVENTH angel, when he shall BEGIN to sound (1 Cor.15:52 below), the mystery of God should be finished (Eph.3:1-11, Dan.12:6-7), as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
1 Cor.15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (Re.10:7 above): for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Thess.4:16-17 above).

The Fifth Seal
There is a three-day time frame between the Fifth, Sixth, and the Seventh SEALS.
The Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) is an event heaven and earth will witness (Matt.24:31).
At the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9-11), the day PRIOR TO the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17), souls that WERE SLAIN (Re.6:11, Re.12:11) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: cry with a loud voice, saying to the Lord, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not JUDGE and AVENGE our blood on them that dwell on the earth? The Lord replies to these souls under the altar that they should rest yet for a LITTLE SEASON, until their fellow servants (prophets - Amos 3:7, Re.22:8-9, Re.19:10) ALSO and their brethren, that should be killed AS THEY WERE, should be fulfilled (Re.6:11).
Their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed AS THEY WERE killed (Re.6:11) are saints of the most High (Matt.24:9, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6 Dan.12:6-7). They are those who will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
A LITTLE SEASON (Re.6:11 below) is seven years. The seven years falls between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.
White robes are given to every one of them who are under the altar (Re.6:11 below).
AFTER the Sixth SEAL and BEFORE the opening of the Seventh SEAL these same saints who are seen under the altar at the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9) are again seen, this time before the throne of God wearing the white robes that were given at the Fifth SEAL. They are a great multitude, which no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues (Re.7:9).
A fellow servant (Re.6:11) is a prophet (Amos 3:7). It is interesting to note that John at Revelation 22:8-9 and Revelation 19:10 perceives his fellow servant of old as an angel until John is told, “: . . I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets . . .”

BECOMING the Chief Corner Stone
Jesus (a Hebrew above all Hebrews) was to BECOME "the head stone of the corner" (Ps.118:22 below), "the chief corner stone" (Eph.2:20, Deut.32:4 below), of His living body, the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:24 below).
At Jesus' baptism Jesus BECAME "the head stone of the corner", "the chief corner stone" of the church of God. From that point Jesus began His ministry (Acts 10:37 below).
All who are in Jesus Christ have BECOME a “new” creature (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below), individually, as well as collectively, Jesus'living body, the church of God.
There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ Jesus, we are all one (Gal.3:28 below), the church of God.
Ps.118:22 The stone (Jesus) which the builders refused IS BECOME the head stone of the corner (Eph.2:20 below).
Eph.2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Ps.118:22 above):
Deut.32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Acts 10:37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.
Col.1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
2 Cor.5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (Gal.6:15 below).
Gal.6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).
Gal.3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

ONE Baptism
There is “ONE baptism” (Eph.4:5 below), as it is written.
I believe that when Jesus said, “Except a man be born of water … .” (Jn.3:5 below), Jesus was saying to Nicodemus, One must be born into this world by the breaking of water at birth (Jn.3:4, Jn.3:6 below) to be able to be baptized of the Holy Spirit (Jn.3:6, Jn.3:8, 1 Cor.12:13 below), the “one baptism” (Eph.4:5 below).
I believe Nicodemus knew full well that Jesus was speaking of having to be born into the world through the breaking of water at birth, because Nicodemus asked Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born (Jn.3:4 below)?”
When God the Father draws us to Jesus (Jn.6:44) we are baptized into ONE BODY by the Spirit (1 Cor.12:13).
When we are baptized into Christ by the Holy Spirit we become a “new” creature (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15). We become individually, as well as collectively, the living body of Christ Jesus (Col.1:24). We BECOME the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, 1 Cor.1:2, 1 Cor.15:9, Gal.1:13, Acts 20:28, 1 Ti.3:5).
We tend to think that we “go” to church. We GO to church, and we come home FROM church. But the truth of the matter is that we who are in Christ Jesus ARE the church!
I believe “water” baptism was for the Jews (1 Cor.10:32) prior to Jesus’ ministry.
Eph.4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism (1 Cor.12:13 below),
Jn.3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews (Jn.3:10 below):
Jn.3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jn.3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again (Jn.3:7-8 below), he cannot see the kingdom of God (Jn.3:5 below).
Jn.3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jn.3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit (Jn.3:6, Jn.3:8 below), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn.3:3 above).
Jn.3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jn.3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Jn.3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jn.3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jn.3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel (Jn.3:1 above), and knowest not these things?
1 Cor.12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized (Eph.4:5 above) into one body (Eph.2:16, Gal.3:28), whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

The Exodus
The Lord, the God of Israel, made a Covenant with the fathers of old in the day that God brought them forth out of the land of Egypt (Jer.34:13 below). Thy time was the time of love (Eze.16:8 below).
ALL the fathers of old were under the cloud, and ALL passed through the sea and ALL were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea and ALL ate the same spiritual meat and ALL drank the same spiritual drink (1 Cor.10:1-4 below).
I believe that it was these spiritual acts and the passing through the sea at the Exodus that married Israel to their Maker (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14, Eze.16:8 below).
I believe that God’s joy in His marriage to the children of Israel (Isa.54.5, Jer.3:14 below) was shattered at the giving of the Ten Commandments when Moses descended the mountain to find the children of Israel worshipping a golden calf.
I believe that when the second temple was destroyed Israel was “put away” and was given a bill of divorcement from God the Father (Isa.50:1, Jer.3:8-13, Jer.31:32 below).
Jer.34:13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: I made a covenant (Eze.16:8 below) with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
Eze.16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee (Jer.34:13 above, Jer.31:32 below), saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine (Isa.54:5 below).
1 Cor.10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that ALL our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea (Ex.14:22 below);
1 Cor.10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1 Cor.10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1 Cor.10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them (Ex.14:19 below): and that Rock was Christ.
Isa.54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband (Jer.3:14 below); the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Jer.3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you (Isa.54:5 above): and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Divorcement
Isa.50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? (Jer.3:8 below) or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Jer.3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce (Isa.50:1 above); yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Jer.3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Jer.3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
Jer.3:11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel (Jer.3:12 below) hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
Jer.3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever (Isa.43:25 above).
Jer.3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God (Isa.54:5 above), and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice (Heb.12:25 below), saith the LORD.
Jer.31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake (Eze.16:8 above), although I WAS an husband unto them (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14 above), saith the Lord:

Eze.16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee (Jer.34:13 above, Jer.31:32 below), saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine (Isa.54:5 below).
1 Cor.10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that ALL our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea (Ex.14:22 below);
1 Cor.10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1 Cor.10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1 Cor.10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them (Ex.14:19 below): and that Rock was Christ.
Isa.54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband (Jer.3:14 below); the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Jer.3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you (Isa.54:5 above): and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Divorcement
Isa.50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? (Jer.3:8 below) or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Jer.3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce (Isa.50:1 above); yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Jer.3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Jer.3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
Jer.3:11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel (Jer.3:12 below) hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
Jer.3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever (Isa.43:25 above).
Jer.3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God (Isa.54:5 above), and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice (Heb.12:25 below), saith the LORD.
Jer.31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake (Eze.16:8 above), although I WAS an husband unto them (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14 above), saith the Lord:

The temple of God
I believe that the temple of God, which the false prophet is to sit showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4, Dan.11:36-37 below) is not a physical structure/building.
I believe that the holy city Jerusalem, itself, IS the temple of God (Acts 17:24 below) of the sanctuary (Dan.8:11 below), Israel.
2 Thess.2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing HIMSELF that he is God (Dan.11:36-37 below).
Dan.8:11 Yea, he (the little horn - Dan.8:9, Dan.7:8) magnified HIMSELF (Dan.8:25, Dan.11:36-38, 2 Thess.2:4 above) even to the prince of the host (Dan.8:13), and by him (the little horn) the daily sacrifice was taken away (Dan.9:27), and the PLACE of his sanctuary was cast down (Dan.8:13, Dan.11:31).
Dan.11:36 And the king (Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) shall do according to his will; and HE SHALL EXALT HIMSELF, AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF above every god (Dan.8:11, 2 Thess.2:4 above), and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and SHALL PROSPER TILL THE INDIGNATION BE ACCOMPLISHED: for that that is determined SHALL BE DONE (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25).
Dan.11:37 Neither shall he (the king) regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: FOR HE SHALL MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE ALL (Dan.11:36, 2 Thess.2:4 above).
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

The Vision
All time frames of Bible prophecy occur at the time of the end, with a literal day interpretation; i.e., a day is a day, a year is a year, an hour is an hour, as it is “written”.
Old Testament Scriptures reveal that at an appointed time is the vision; at the time of the end will be the vision; that the vision is for many days and that the vision of the evening and the morning is true. Evening begins at sundown, morning begins at sun up.
The vision is to be counted in actual (literal) days that are to occur at the time of the end, at an appointed time.
At the time of the end many shall run to and fro through the Bible, and knowledge of the Bible will be increased (Dan.12:4 below).
Dan.8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for AT THE TIME OF THE END SHALL BE THE VISION (Dan.10:14, Hab.2:3 below).
Dan.8:26 And the vision of the EVENING and the MORNING which was told is true (John 16:13, John 17:17): wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many DAYS.
Dan.10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the LATTER DAYS: for yet THE VISION IS FOR MANY DAYS (Dan.8:26 above).
Dan.11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END: because IT IS YET FOR A TIME APPOINTED (Dan.8:17 above, Hab.2:3, Dan.12:4 below).
Dan.12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book (Dan.10:21, Re.10:10), EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END (Dan.8:17, Hab.2:3, Dan.11:35): many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED.
Hab.2:3 For THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, but AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Earth’s Final Government
The events we see occurring today will bring us to the position that is necessary to bring end time events to their conclusion as it is “written” in the Scriptures.
I believe that we are at the Fourth Seal (Re.6:7-8) wherein one-fourth part of the earth will be destroyed. We are a witness to that.
I believe that it is possible that we are at that point wherein those who will make up the 144000 are in Israel being tried, purged and purified as they endure witnessing first hand the conflict against Israel (Dan.11:35, Dan.12:10).
It is extremely difficult to envision the end time governmental leadership without a far deeper study that still might not give us a clear picture at this point. But the upshot of it is, is that during the last three and a half years prior to the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension, the world will have as its leadership a beast/king who will have satanic power (Re.13:2) over the entire world (Re.13:3) and with him the false prophet with the same power (Re.13:12). Eventually, after three horns/kings are uprooted by the little horn, there will be seven kings (Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) under the control of the beast/king of Revelation 13:1 (also seen as the fourth beast/king of Daniel chapter 7).
My question is: Is it possible that these seven horns/kings will be kings over each continent? Perhaps hard to believe, but by that time the continents will be drifting due to the major earthquake at the opening of the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12, 14), eventually to collide at the fall of Babylon (Re.16:20). Also, by that time four of the seven Trumpet events will have also taken place (Re.8:7-12). I believe that all these major earth changes will bring about events we cannot clearly envision now.

The Number of a Man
The beast of Revelation 13:1 will be on the world scene BEFORE the beast of Revelation 13:11. The beast of Revelation 13:1 will be given power to CONTINUE along with the beast of Revelation 13:11 forty two months (Re. 13:5 below), three and a half years.
The beast of Revelation 13:11 causes the earth and all that dwell therein to worship the first beast (Re. 13.12 below). The beast (Re.13:11 below) has those who are deceived to make an image to the first beast (Re. 13:14 below). The beast of Revelation 13:11 has power to give life to the image of the first beast (Re. 13:15 below).
Since the beast of Revelation 13:1 is upon the world scene before the beast of Revelation 13:11, and he is the one who is to be worshipped, then it is he who has the number 666 (Re. 13:18 below).
The First Beast
Re. 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.
Re. 13:2 And the beast which I saw was tike unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Re. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed (Re. 13:12 below): and all the world wondered after the beast.
Re.13:4 And they (ail the world - Re. 13:3 above) worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] Hke unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Re. 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to CONTINUE forty [and] two months.
Re. 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Re.13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Re. 13:8 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.
Re. 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Re.13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kilteth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Another Beast
Re. 13:11 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.

Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal
We see the Dragon (Satan/Devil) at the Sixth PLAGUE, prior to the battle of Armageddon (Re.16:12-16 below), on the world scene with the beast (Re.13:1) and the false prophet (Re.13:11).
Satan gives the beast of Revelation 13:1 and the “another” beast of Revelation 13:11 their power (Re.13:2, Re.13:12).
By the Sixth PLAGUE Satan (the Dragon/the Devil) is manifested in the flesh as the man Gog (Eze.39:1-5, Eze.39:11).
Gog (Satan/the Devil) is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Eze.39:1).
It would not surprise me if the beast/king of Revelation 13:1, who is seen as “the beast” at Revelation 16:13, will have the name Meshech and that the beast/king of Revelation 13:11, who is seen as “the false prophet” at Revelation 16:13, will have the name Tubal.
Gog is at the battle of Armageddon (Eze.39:17-20, Re.19:17-21). The man Gog is buried after the battle of Armageddon (Eze.39:11), but this manifested evil spiritual entity, Satan (Gog), in death, will be bound in the bottomless pit throughout the Millennium.
After the Millennium (the thousand years) Satan will gather the nations from the four quarters of the earth to battle (Re.20:8). They will encompass the camp of the immortal saints and the beloved city, Jerusalem. Fire from heaven rains down upon them; they are destroyed (Re.20:7-11).
Satan is the “god” (2 Cor.4:4) of this present evil world (Gal.1:4, Jn.12:31).
I believe that the LAND of Magog (Eze.38:2, Eze.39:6) is this earth.
The earth and the heavens will pass away AFTER the battle of Gog and Magog (Re.20:11, 2 Peter 3:10-12, Dan.2:35).

The Stars of Heaven at the Sixth SEAL
I believe that the stars of heaven that we see fall unto the earth (Re.6:13 below) at the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12 below) are the Dragon (Re.12:3 below) and the third part of the stars of heaven (Re.12:4 below), his angels.
I believe that it is at the Sixth SEAL that Satan and his angels are cast INTO the earth (Re.12:9 below) to be locked into the bottomless pit until he and his angels are released from the pit at the Fifth TRUMPET (Re.9:1-2 below).
At the Fifth TRUMPET, at the opening of the bottomless pit, the four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 will ascend from the bottomless pit, together, at the same time, as well.
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Matt.24:29, Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven (Re.12:4 below) fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29, Mk.13:25), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Re.12:4 And his tail drew THE THIRD PART of the stars of heaven (Re.6:13 above), and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Re.12:9 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.
Re.9:1 And the fifth (trumpet) angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Re.9:2 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.

I believe that it is at the Sixth SEAL that Satan and his angels are cast INTO the earth (Re.12:9 below) to be locked into the bottomless pit until he and his angels are released from the pit at the Fifth TRUMPET (Re.9:1-2 below).
At the Fifth TRUMPET, at the opening of the bottomless pit, the four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 will ascend from the bottomless pit, together, at the same time, as well.
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Matt.24:29, Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven (Re.12:4 below) fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29, Mk.13:25), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Re.12:4 And his tail drew THE THIRD PART of the stars of heaven (Re.6:13 above), and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Re.12:9 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.
Re.9:1 And the fifth (trumpet) angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Re.9:2 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.

Revelation chapter 14
I believe that the Scriptures of Revelation chapter 14 (below) reference the following events -
Revelation chapter 14
Re.14:1-5 Provides information regarding the 144,000 redeemed from the earth at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).
Re.14:6-7 References the everlasting gospel that is to be preached AFTER the ascension of the church.
Re.14:8 Declares Babylon is fallen. The fall of Babylon occurs AFTER the ascension of the church.
Re.14:9-11 Provides information as to the fate of those who follow the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
Re.14:12-13 References the saints who will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
Re.14:14-16 References the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.
Re.14:17-20 Speaks of the gathering of the wicked, those who will fight the battle of Armageddon against the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
The battle of Armageddon
The battle of Armageddon will occur AFTER the fall of that great city Babylon (Revelation, chapter 18) and AFTER the marriage of the Lamb has taken place in heaven (Revelation, chapter 19). The battle of Armageddon will be fought at the Seventh, and final, PLAGUE (Re.16:17-19).
The end of the battle will mark the beginning of the Millennium.
The wrath of God is the Seven Last Plagues
The entire body of Christ throughout all ages will all be in heaven from the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.
The wrath of God (Re.15:1, Re.15:6-8, Re.16:1) will occur AFTER the entire body of Christ is in heaven.
DIRECTLY AFTER the ascension the wrath of God will be poured out.

John Must Prophesy Again! - Revelation 10:9-11 – The Little Book
John must prophesy AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings (Re.10:9-11 below).
John’s prophecy contained in the Book of Revelation is the prophecy the two witnesses will prophesy for a thousand two hundred and threescore days (1260 days – Re.11:3 below) prior to the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
THEN IT CAN BE SAID that the gospel of the kingdom will have been preached in all the world, and then shall the end come (Matt.24:14 below).
Matt.24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Re.10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Re.10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Re.10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Re.11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (1260 days/three and a half years)

Ezekiel 38:8-13 - The Battle of Gog and Magog
I believe Ezekiel 38:8-13 is speaking of the battle of Gog and Magog.
Gog is ascending out of the bottomless pit AFTER the Millennium (Eze.38:9 below).
Eze.38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: IN THE LATTER YEARS thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them (Eze.38:11 below).
Eze.38:9 Thou (Gog) shalt ASCEND and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Eze.38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind (Gog), and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Eze.38:11 And thou (Gog) shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely (Eze.38:8 above), all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Eze.38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Eze.38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil (Eze.38:12 above)?
Eze.38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]?
Eze.38:15 And thou (Gog) shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Eze.38:16 And thou (Gog) shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; IT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their (the heathens’) eyes.
Eze.38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring thee (Gog) against them (Israel)?
Eze.38:18 And it shall come to pass AT THE SAME TIME when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall come up in my face.
Eze.38:19 For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely IN THAT DAY there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Eze.38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and ALL THE MEN THAT [ARE] UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Eze.38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Eze.38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him (Gog), and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Eze.38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

The Twenty-four Elders - Naming Names
If the priests referenced in the Old Testament at 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 are from every nation under heaven (Acts 2:5), then I believe that these priests of old ARE the twenty-four elders out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Re.5:9) seen in heaven in the book of Revelation (Re.4:4, Re.5:8-10, Re.11:6, Re.19:4).
If that is so, we then know the names of the twenty-four elders of the book of Revelation - Jehoiarib, Jedaiah, Harim, Seorim, Malchijah, Mijamin, Hakkoz, Abijah, Jeshua, Shecaniah, Eliashib, Jakim, Huppah, Jeshebeab, Bilgah, Immer, Hezir, Aphses, Pethahiah, Jehezekel, Jachin, Gumul, Delaiah, Maaziah. (1 Chron.24:7-18)
I believe that the devout Jews dwelling at Jerusalem who were out of every nation under heaven (Acts 2:5) at the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:3-11) are the "many" who were raised out of their graves after the Lord's resurrection who went into the holy city and appeared unto many (Matt.27:52-53), the "many" who were raised out of their graves being the twenty-four elders seen in heaven in the book of Revelation (Re.4:4, Re.5:8-10, Re.11:16, Re.19:4).

The Daily Sacrifice - Daniel 8:11-14
I believe that those who will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation 13 ARE the "daily sacrifice" (Dan.8:11-13, Dan.9:27, Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below).
The little horn (false prophet) casts truth to the ground (Dan.8:12 below). The church of God (1 Cor.10:32) will prophesy truth (Re.10:11, Dan.10:21).
At the last week prior to the ascension Messiah the Prince/Jesus will cause the sacrifice and the oblation of the saints of the most High (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7) to cease with the slaying of the two prophets (Re.11:8-12). That ends the "tribulation" and the "daily sacrifice".
One WEEK (Dan.9:27 below), prior to the Seventh TRUMPET ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17) Messiah the Prince/Jesus will confirm the covenant with many. The many during that last week will be the 144000. The 144,000 will endure to be those who are alive and remain at the ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17).
For the overspreading of abominations that have occurred Messiah the Prince (the Prince of princes/Jesus) shall make the earth desolate, even to the consummation (the finish) and that determined (the seven last plagues - Re.16:1) will be poured upon the desolate (Gentiles – 1 Cor.10:32, 1 Thess.4:5, Eph.2:12).
Dan.8:11 Yea, he (the little horn, Dan.8:9, Dan.7:8) magnified HIMSELF (Dan.8:25, Dan.11:36-38, 2 Thess.2:4) even to the prince of the host (Dan.8:13 below), and by him (the little horn) the daily sacrifice was taken away (Dan.9:27 below), and the PLACE of his (the prince of the host’s) sanctuary was cast down (Dan.8:13, Dan.11:31 below).
Dan.8:12 And an host was given [him] (the little horn) against the daily [sacrifice] (Dan.8:11 above, Dan.8:13 below) by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Dan.8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation (Dan.11:31 below), to give BOTH the sanctuary (Dan.8:11 above, Dan.11:31 below) and the host to be trodden under foot?
Dan.8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred DAYS; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. (2300 days, or six years, four months, and twenty days)
Dan.9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK he shall cause the sacrifice (Dan.8:11-12 above, Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below) and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Dan.11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength (Dan.8:11, Dan.8:14 above), and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate (Dan.12:11, Lk.21:20).
Dan.12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up (Dan.8:11, Dan.11:31 above) [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (1290 days)

When the Abomination of Desolation is SET UP the 144,000 are to Flee
I believe that the 144,000 will be in Judaea at the time that the abomination of desolation is SET UP; the 144,000 are instructed to flee into the mountains (Matt.24:15-16)
The false prophet ascends out of the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Ps.28:1). The bottomless pit is opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2, Re.9:12).
I believe that the false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit 1335 days prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17), 75 days prior to the ENFORCEMENT of the abomination of desolation.
The start of the three and a half year tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 will occur once the abomination that makes desolate is SET UP (Lk.21:20, Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below), and then ENFORCED.
The abomination that makes desolate is a law that will be enacted that will cause that as many as will not worship the image of the beast should be killed (Re.13:15, Re.11:7, Re.12:17, Re.17:6, Dan.8:24, Dan.12:;6-7, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Re.13:7, Re.16:6, Matt.24:9).
The law will be SET UP 1290 days (Dan.12:11 below) prior to the sounding of the Seventh, and final, TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17). Thirty days after the law is SET UP (1260 days, or three and a half years, prior to the Seventh Trumpet), the law will be ENFORCED.
When the law is SET UP (Dan.12:11 below) that will be the time that the 144,000 are to flee (Matt.24:15-22).
The 144,000 are protected during the three and a half years of tribulation (Re.12:14) when Satan goes after the rest of the seed of the woman (Re.12:17).
Lk.21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the DESOLATION (Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below) thereof is nigh.
Dan.11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE (Dan.12:11 below, Lk.21:20 above).
Dan.12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP (Dan.11:31 above), there shall be A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS (1290 days).

The false prophet ascends out of the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Ps.28:1). The bottomless pit is opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2, Re.9:12).
I believe that the false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit 1335 days prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17), 75 days prior to the ENFORCEMENT of the abomination of desolation.
The start of the three and a half year tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 will occur once the abomination that makes desolate is SET UP (Lk.21:20, Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below), and then ENFORCED.
The abomination that makes desolate is a law that will be enacted that will cause that as many as will not worship the image of the beast should be killed (Re.13:15, Re.11:7, Re.12:17, Re.17:6, Dan.8:24, Dan.12:;6-7, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Re.13:7, Re.16:6, Matt.24:9).
The law will be SET UP 1290 days (Dan.12:11 below) prior to the sounding of the Seventh, and final, TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17). Thirty days after the law is SET UP (1260 days, or three and a half years, prior to the Seventh Trumpet), the law will be ENFORCED.
When the law is SET UP (Dan.12:11 below) that will be the time that the 144,000 are to flee (Matt.24:15-22).
The 144,000 are protected during the three and a half years of tribulation (Re.12:14) when Satan goes after the rest of the seed of the woman (Re.12:17).
Lk.21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the DESOLATION (Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below) thereof is nigh.
Dan.11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE (Dan.12:11 below, Lk.21:20 above).
Dan.12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP (Dan.11:31 above), there shall be A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS (1290 days).

The church is the bride of Christ Jesus
The bride of Christ (2 Cor.11:2), the Lamb’s wife (Re.19:7-8) ARE the entire church of God throughout all ages (1 Cor.10:32, Gal.1:3).
The entire body of Christ (the church - Col.1:24) are in heaven at the Seventh Trumpet (Thess.4:16-17).
The marriage of the Lamb occurs in heaven as Mystery Babylon falls (Re.19:2-3).
The marriage of the Lamb has taken place at Revelation 19:7, and His wife prepares herself (Re.19:8) to join the Lamb and are the armies that follow The Word of God (19:13), the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (Re.19:16), to the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:14).
After the Millennium, in the “new” earth, that “great city, the holy Jerusalem”, descending out of heaven from God (Re.21:10), is prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Re.21:2) because the saints of the most High (the Lamb’s wife) are in the descending city (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22).

The church of God Complete
Jesus Christ is chief corner stone of His living body (Col.1:24 below), the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below).
The apostles and prophets are the foundation (Eph.2:20 below) of the church of God.
We in Christ Jesus are the lively stones (1 Pe.2:5 below).
Mary is the mother of the chief corner stone of the church (Eph.2:20 below), Jesus (Re.12:1-5 below).
The woman of Revelation 12:1 brings forth a man child who will rule all nations with a rod of iron (Re.12:5 below). Jesus will rule all nations with a rod of iron throughout the Millennium (Re.19:15).
Col.1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which IS the church (1 Cor.10:32 below).
1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God (1 Cor.1:2, 1 Cor.15:9, Gal.1:13):
Eph.2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ HIMSELF being the chief corner stone (Ps.118:22, Lk.20:17);
1 Pe.2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood (1 Pe.2:9 below), to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Re.12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman (Re.12:2, 4, 5 below) clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Re.12:2 And she (the woman - Re.12:1 above) BEING WITH CHILD cried, travailing in birth, and pain to be delivered.
Re.12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his head.
Re.12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman (Re.12:1 above) which was READY TO BE DELIVERED (Re.12:2 above), for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Re.12:5 And SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MAN CHILD (Matt.1:21), WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON (Re.19:15): and her child was caught up unto God (the Father - Col.1:3), and to his throne (Re.7:10, Re.7:17).

A Little Season
Note that at the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9 below) the heavenly saints are asking the Lord a question - How long before you judge and avenge our blood upon THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH? (Re.6:10 below). And it is said to them that they should rest yet for A LITTLE SEASON until their fellowservants also AND their brethren, that should be killed AS THEY WERE KILLED, should be fulfilled (Re.6:11 below).
The fellowservants also AND their brethren that should be killed AS THEY WERE KILLED will take place during the tribulation under the beasts of Revelatin 13. Their fellowservants also and their brethren (Re.6:11 below) are the two witnesses.
After the Millennium, Satan is loosed “a little season” (Re.20:1-3 below), the same amount of time Fifth Seal saints are told they are to rest yet (Re.6:9-11 below).
A little season is seven years; seven years between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.
The first three and a half years of the seven years the two witnesses will have God-given power to prophesy (Re.11:3 below). AFTER they have finished their testimony (after the first three and a half years of the seven years) the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them for the duration of the last three and a half years (Re.11:7 below).
Re. 6:9 And when he had opened the FIFTH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain (Rev.6:11 below) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Re.6:10 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?
Re.6:11 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 (Re.20:3 below), until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Re.11:3 And I WILL GIVE POWER (Dan.8:24, Dan.12:7) unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy (Re.10:11) A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS, clothed in sackcloth. (1260 days or 3 ½ years)
Re.11:7 And when they (the two witnesses) shall have FINISHED their testimony (after 1260 days/3 1/2 years, Re.11:3 above), THE BEAST THAT ASCENDETH OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (Re.13:11-17, Re.17:8, Ps.28:1) SHALL MAKE WAR AGAINST THEM, and SHALL OVERCOME THEM, and KILL THEM.
Re.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Re.20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Re.20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed A LITTLE SEASON (Re.6:11 above).

At the Time of the End Knowledge of the Holy Bible will be Increased
At the time of the end knowledge of the Bible will be increased (Dan.12:4 below).
The Spirit of truth will guide us into all truth, and he will show us things to come (Jn.16:13, Isa.28:10 below).
Dan.12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book (Dan.10:21, Re.10:10), EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END (Dan.8:17, Hab.2:3, Dan.11:35): many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Jn.16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Isa.28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
