Question: Do the dead-in-Christ arise at the time of the
Seventh Trumpet spoken of in the Book of Revelation? |
Answer: No, they don’t! In fact, they arise from the dead
long before that. First of all, the last trump spoken of
does not refer to the Seventh Trumpet
of the Book of Revelation. When the Apostle Paul spoke of the last
trump, he was certainly not referring to the
Book of Revelation, which had not yet been declared or
delivered. In fact, Paul was already dead when the Book of Revelation was
delivered to the Apostle John. He was speaking of another last
trump, the final warning before the Holy City of Jerusalem is stormed
and the last stand is made by God’s servants THE
PROPHETS. You’ll recall the account of the last stand of God’s servants
the prophets in the early part of the same chapter as the reference to the Seventh
Trumpet is spoken of. We’ll get to that in a few moments, but first
let’s deal with the Seventh Trumpet sounded by the seventh angel:
Rev 11:15-19 "The
seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in
heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the WORLD has become
the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for
ever and ever." 16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated
on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17
saying: "We give thanks to you, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY [The
Father], the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power AND HAVE BEGUN TO REIGN.
18 The nations [of the world] were angry; and your wrath has come. THE
TIME HAS COME FOR JUDGING THE DEAD, and for REWARDING YOUR SERVANTS THE
PROPHETS and your SAINTS and those who reverence your
Name, both small and great – and for destroying those who destroy the
earth." 19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and
within his temple was seen the
And just to remind the
reader of a few fundamental principles of Bible teaching: 1Cor 15:22 "For
as in Adam all die, so [ALL IN CHRIST] will be made alive.
23 But each in his own turn:
Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes,
THOSE WHO BELONG TO HIM. 24 Then the END will
come, when He hands over the Kingdom to GOD THE FATHER AFTER
He has DESTROYED all dominion, authority and power. 25
For He must reign UNTIL He has put all His enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is Death. 27
For He "has put everything under His feet." Now when it says that
"everything" has been put under Him, it is clear that this does
NOT include God Himself, who put everything under
Christ. 28 When He has done this, then
the Son himself will be made SUBJECT TO HIM who put everything under Him,
so that God may be all in all." So Christ will already be reigning
and destroying all dominion, authority and power, and putting
all His enemies under His feet BEFORE He hands over
the Kingdom to the Father – which occurs at the time of the
Seventh Trumpet. Then God the Father will reign
on earth, and Jesus will be subject to Him as any good son would
be.
So let’s not
get confused over when all those who are Christ’s
will be made alive. This occurs when He comes and reigns – not
at the time of the Seventh Trumpet when He hands over
the Kingdom to the Father and the Father begins to reign. Where it
says that God’s wrath has come (Rev
11:18) this will be expressed in THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
which follow in the immediate aftermath of the Seven Trumpets and
the beginning of the reign of God the Father.
So what last trumpet
was Paul speaking of? First of all, Jesus spoke of getting out of
Concerning the judging of
the dead, there will be many who die in the coming holocaust that will not
have distinguished themselves in martyrdom and therefore have never proven
themselves faithful to God in accordance with the standards set by
Jesus. But they were saints never-the-less
because they had God’s Holy Spirit. So what can be done with them? Well, they
will have to be judged according to what they have done.
Rev 20:1-6 "And
I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and
holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that
ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound
him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and
locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations
anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must
be set free for a short time." At the beginning
of the thousand years Satan is imprisoned, and this is when the Judgment
begins. V4 "I
saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because
of their Testimony for Jesus and because of the Word of God. They had not
worshiped the beast or his image and had not
received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They
came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5
(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were
ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those
who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over
them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will
reign with him for a thousand years."
As you will see, obedience
to God requires moral strength of character, and weak people won’t make it. If
they cave in under the onslaught they will never enter God’s Kingdom. You’ll
note that these people died in defense of the
Testimony of Jesus and the Word of God and gave their lives willingly.
Weaklings, who don’t defend the Testimony of Jesus
and the Word of God will be judged as worthless
and fit only to be burned. This type of person will have been indoctrinated to
believe that God is a fool who will give them eternal life for doing nothing,
and who deny the fundamental principles of God’s teachings. Matt 10:32-36 "Whoever
acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in
heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I
will disown him before my Father in heaven." And in this
context Jesus adds more. He gives some idea of what awaits the trials of the
saints: V34 "Do
not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35
For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – 36 a man’s enemies
will be the members of his own household." We’ve seen enough
examples of people who deny the very Word of God under zero
provocation, so it’s not hard to imagine their lack of character
when their lives are on the line.

You might recall the similarity
of these events with the teachings spoken of through the Prophet Daniel
– a reference made by Jesus in Matt 24:15.

Churches now believe that
Anyone who imagines such
people to be sincere can only be cut from the same cloth. Most of the leaders
of the Churches of God are laying low and ignoring the obvious - but not this
man! He’s seen his support drain to the point of desperation where he is
prepared to say or do anything. But it goes to show how the real losers are
trying to claw back their assumed ‘reputations’ through lies and deceit. The
man himself scarcely rates a mention but he is indicative of the many who are now floundering from the lying ‘prophecies’ of the
past. Like so many of these evil creatures, he’s prepared to do anything to
weaken the nations of
What this all shows is what happens when people remain wedded to the lies of the
past and seek to continue to align with them. They seem never able to shake loose
from them, but consider it a badge of honour to have been a member of such
worthless teachings of fake prophecies. The WCG has just one thing in their
favour – they once received the Holy Spirit of God for their obedience at the
time of their commitment to baptism. In the course of time they have amassed a
great deal of teachings to repent of. But only a remnant
of them will carry with them into the Great Tribulation the Testimony of
Jesus and The Commandments of God (Rev 12:17). The rest will be worthless
for any purpose, and will pay the penalty in the lake of fire.
It’s not enough to merely
keep the Commandments of God. Jesus said, when you have done all that is
required of you, consider yourselves unworthy servants. Luke 17:9-10 "Would
he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So
you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say,
‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’"
Those who don’t do everything they’ve been told to do will find themselves
worthy of nothing.

THE REAL RULERS ARE NOT FLESH AND
BLOOD! It’s worth noting that these
rulers of the heavenly realms are usually in a position to rule. They are
controllers, and they control the hordes of the earth. As a point of
interest, one of these was ruling the Persian Empire at the time of Daniel,
and so powerful was this ‘god’ that he detained Gabriel the Archangel for 21
days until Michael, one of the chief Princes, came and freed him: Dan 10:13-14 "But
the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one
days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because
I was detained there with the king of It’s also worth noting the rulers
of the heavenly realms have human protégés that eventually die, but the real
ruler’s dominion lives on in the man’s successor. Typically, they favour men
who most mirror their own personal ambition. |
And just to add a bit more
information about this king or beast, we find this in V36 "The king
will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and
will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful
until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been
determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the
gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any
god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead
of them, he will honor a god of fortresses;
a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold
and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack
the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will
greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make
them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price."
This man will honour a god of fortresses – a god of war and conquest, and that
god is not flesh and blood but a ruler of the heavenly
realms as the Apostle Paul points out in Eph 6:12.
These are the real enemies and all people outside of the
Tribes of Israel are their protégés.
The Greeks are famous for
their gods, and the Greek influence and even their language was widely
dispersed throughout the world at the time of Jesus. The most widely worshipped
Greek gods were Zeus and his son Apollo. This father and son team of gods represented
rulers of the heavenly realms who just love to be worshipped. The King of
Greece will seek the ‘help of a foreign god’. This foreign
god is one who had dominion over another religious culture, that is,
one other than Greek, and he sees himself as an ‘imam’. This ruler of the
heavenly realm will lose his dominion to the King of Greece, but will cooperate
to unite the

Daniel gives further
description of this time of the end concerning the saints: Dan 7:19-26 "Then
I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from
all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws – the
beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was
left. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and
about the other horn that came up, before which three of
them fell – the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that
had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. 21 As I watched,
this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, 22
until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced
judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High,
and the time came when they possessed the kingdom."
This other horn that came up and was more imposing than the others is the
foreign god – a god foreign to the Greek-Macedonian Empire. This is
when Death and Hades (also called the
Grave) become unified in purpose (Rev 6:8). This is the Fourth Seal.
V23 "He
gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will
appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will
devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The
ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another
king (called Hades or Grave – a spirit ruler) will arise, different from the earlier ones; he
will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most
High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The
saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. 26
But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely
destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and
greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the
saints, the people of the Most High. His Kingdom will be
an everlasting Kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey
Him’."

THE BLACK HORSE Why black? What does it mean? Well,
there is a Bible term ‘utter darkness’ that does, in fact,
refer to death, and death is the ultimate darkness – the
complete absence of light and therefore totally black. And who
is this rider on the black horse? It’s a spirit being called Death,
and Grave follows closely behind him. But now Death
is looking pale, not so brutal and merciless among those he has
conquered, as he consolidates his position among the conquered as he sets his
heart to violate the Covenant of God and to seize the |
You’ll note that the Third
Seal (Rev 6:5) speaks of the
rider of a black horse with a pair of scales in his
hand and weighing up his options. He notes that the ‘foreign
god’ is destroying the saints of the Most High. This ‘foreign
god’ has corrupted the people of God – the House of Israel, and is
defeating them along with the saints. They have used a combination of oil
(petroleum) of which they have a strong monopoly, and wine, which has the House
of Israel in a stupor. This wine is the propaganda
of Satan, who has made the nations drink the maddening WINE of
So if this is the black
horse and rider, who then is the pale horse? It’s the same horse
and rider transformed as a potential saviour, who like
Alexander, comes and conquers and then is considered a god by the conquered.
Suddenly, he is not a black horse but a pale horse,
and then along comes Grave – the foreign god – right
behind him. You’ll notice that this spirit ruler on the black horse is weighing
up the circumstances and considering the odds, and determining the outcome of
moving against the Prince of Persia. With his heart set on death and
destruction he successfully makes his move, but only after the prince of

of the end, but the final end
is yet to come. The final end is actually when the Lord
Christ hands the Kingdom over to the Father (1Cor
15:24) at the time of the Seventh Trumpet (Rev 11:15-18). Now is the time for all the
fanciful dreamers to get their act together and to start believing Bible prophecy.
As you can see, the outlook for the House of Israel and the saints, at least in
the short term, will be incredibly destructive! And for all those who didn’t
want to obey God, expect the worst! And especially those
who taught disobedience after tasting God’s heavenly gift of the Holy Spirit.
So long before the time of
the Seventh Trumpet, the Lord Christ will be ruling. Matt 24:30-31 "At that time
the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the
earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky,
with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels
with A LOUD TRUMPET CALL, and they will gather His elect from the
four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
And this is the ‘last trumpet’ that Paul was referring to.
This is the time when the Lord Christ begins to rule and begins
to put down all dominion, authority and power before
handing over the Kingdom to God the Father – which occurs at the time
of the Seventh Trumpet of the Book of Revelation. THE LORD CHRIST MUST
REIGN UNTIL THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED.
The reference to His elect
is a reference to the Tribes of Israel, and only a
remnant will return (Rom 9:27, Isa 10:22-23). And what remnant
would this be? These are the ones who have returned to God through the efforts
of the offspring of the ‘Woman’ (Rev 12:17). This offspring
must face the fury of Satan the devil in the Great Tribulation along with the ‘lost

Paul makes it clear that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God: 1Cor
15:50-54 "I declare to you,
brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God,
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell
you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – 52
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable,
and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe
itself with the imperishable, and the mortal
with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been
clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been
swallowed up in victory"." So is everyone in the

It really is pathetic to
hear evangelical Christians speaking about going to heaven when they die, as if
the whole Bible means nothing at all to them. What lies they spew, what madness
they possess! Don’t they believe Jesus? Rev 22:12
"Behold I am coming soon! My reward is
with me, and I will give to everyone according
to what he has done." Evangelical Christians are going to
be shocked senseless when they realize how stupid they have been in assuming
their reward is in heaven when they die.

Enoch and Elijah Just to clarify a few things about
heaven. Jesus said that no man had ascended into heaven but the Son of Man
who came from heaven. Enoch and Elijah are not there! Enoch died and was
buried – by God. Elijah went up in a ‘fiery chariot’ but was still on earth
20 years later and actually wrote a letter to king Jehoram
(2Chron 21:12), who was not
the King of Judah when Elijah departed. |
The only reference to
people going to God’s heaven is found at the time of the Fifth Seal in the Book
of Revelation. The people referred to here didn’t just die, they were
killed! This is the account: Rev 6:9-11
"When he opened the Fifth Seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word
of God and the Testimony they had maintained. 10
They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, Holy and True,
until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were
told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow
servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed."
These are taken to the Glory Mothership – called the Majestic
Glory in 2Pet 1:17, to await the
killing of their fellow servants. They will be housed and clothed under the
huge expanse beneath the Altar at which the Lord Christ serves as the High
Priest of God the Father.
And just to dispel a few
other myths, those who are still alive when the Lord Christ begins His reign
will certainly not precede those who have died!
1Thess 4:13-17 "Brothers,
we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve
like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus
died and rose again and so we believe that God (the
Father) will bring with Jesus those
who have fallen asleep in Him. 15 According to the
Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are
left till the coming of the Lord, WILL CERTAINLY NOT PRECEDE THOSE WHO
HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP. 16 For the Lord himself will come down
from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and
with the TRUMPET CALL OF GOD, and the dead in Christ will rise
first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are
left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage each other with these words."
As we have seen from Rev 6:9-11, the dead-in-Christ will
be incrementally gathered to await the killing of their fellow servants, who
too, will be gathered in the Majestic Glory after they are martyred. This is
why Paul said they will certainly not precede those
who have fallen asleep – or rather, have been killed.
Paul was relying on the Lord’s own word that he had heard from
the other Apostles concerning this, and was unaware of the content of the Book
of Revelation that was delivered many years later. It’s clear that there are
more than a few minutes difference between the dead arising, and the rising in
the air of the living otherwise it would hardly be worth mentioning, and
particularly with the emphasis that Paul put on it: ‘will certainly
not precede’. So the translation
‘and the dead in Christ will rise first’ could have been better
rendered ‘the dead in Christ will have already risen first’.
Obviously, those who
are still alive AND ARE LEFT may not receive the same reward as those
who were taken after they died in faithful martyrdom and
are housed in the Majestic Glory to await the killing of their fellow servants.
But this judgment will be made by God according to what they have done.
Paul also said that he believed that ‘God (The Father) will bring (or
send) with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him’. This is
certainly true. When the full compliment of martyrs is complete these will
accompany Jesus at the time of the Trumpet blast as He descends. Those who are still
alive and were left at the time of the resurrection of the martyrs will
meet them in the air.
You’ll notice that the
words are ‘fallen asleep in Him’; just ‘falling
asleep’ or ‘dying’ doesn’t rate at all in this scenario.
Those who died in Him are those who died because of
the Word of God and the Testimony they maintained (Rev 6:9). And this is the big difference!
Now would be a good time
to divest of the nonsense of the past and the fabricated prophecy which so many
people have believed relates to Bible prophecy. Why would anyone want to be
deaf, dumb, blind and stupid at such a momentous time of the fulfilling of
Bible prophecy? It’s going to be fierce, cruel and dangerous, and certainly not
a time to believe fables.
Concerning Christ’s rule and
all the events that precede the final end, the Lord Christ has a few things in
mind at the very outset. Islam has brokered the destruction of God’s people
So what precipitates this
sudden move? The prophet Isaiah provides the answer. And just
a word of clarification concerning

everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter. 10
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you
will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever. 11

a short observation. Muslims don’t drink wine – courtesy of Satan who wants to offset any
suggestion of his wine applying to them. The
reality of course is that Muslims were the first to believe Satan’s lying wine or propaganda – like the propaganda of seventy
two virgins await them for killing God’s people
As God has stated here, He
will gather the Ephraimites from wherever
they’ve been scattered and they will return. They
will enjoy some of the privileges of Judah who will become strong like
mighty men, and the mighty men, in this case, are the Sons
of Jerusalem: Zech 12:4-5 "On that day I will strike every horse
with panic and its rider with madness," declares the
LORD. "I will keep a watchful eye over the House of Judah,
but I will blind all the horses of the nations (again
a reference to the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse). 5 Then the leaders
of
So we can see that the
example of the people or Sons of Jerusalem
set a new benchmark for dealing with Islam – the surrounding nations
– and Judah is the first to step up to the plate and follow
suite. The Ephraimites have to take a
real pounding before they arrive at the same conclusion. The Ephraimites have a few problems to sort out
first. Ephraim has shown a marked tendency to ‘win the hearts and
minds’ of Islam instead of following the Lord Christ’s example and
pounding them into submission. For this insult, God plans to have Islam pound
them into submission – until they beat their breast in shame!
God goes on to explain how
to keep oneself pure and the first thing is to stop believing the maddening
wine of the Babylonian’s lying deceit and to recognize these evil creatures for
what they are! If this is done, then you’ll be pre-armed to resist the worship
of the beast: V9-13 "A third angel followed them and said in a loud
voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his
mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the
wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the
cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There
is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or
for anyone who receives the mark of his name." 12 This
calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey
God’s Commandments and remain faithful to Jesus’ [Testimony]. 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say,
"Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."
The 144,000 are actually
identified by name (Rev 7:4-8), and these
are 12,000 of each of the Tribes of Israel, with the exception of the
treacherous Danites (the southern Irish – the
descendants of the Vikings), who are excluded in favour of a double-portion for
the House of Joseph. It’s important to mention this, because so many churches
have assumed they are the 144,000. These 12 Tribes have been redeemed from the
earth because they kept themselves pure and didn’t succumb to the wine of Satan
or accept the mark of the beast. These are the saints who obey God’s
Commandments and remain faithful to Jesus’ Testimony. So this alone
rules out all the churches who never obeyed God’s Commandments or
even had a clue about the meaning of the Testimony of Jesus. The
Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:10), so all those who don’t
have the Spirit of Prophecy also don’t have
the Testimony of Jesus. And the reader will note that the Book of
Revelation is all about Bible prophecy! The fulfillment
of Bible prophecy is set to dominate the lives of all the earth’s inhabitants
for many years to come!
And what’s your local
pastor-prophet-evangelist been doing lately? Is he still preaching the same old
emotional and meaningless stuff and embellishing it with stories he’s made up?
Cute little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Has he/she
convinced you that he/she loves all people, even God’s enemies? Has he/she,
through feigned, supercilious sanctimony, railed against the war in
In fact, it’s the real
Testimony of Jesus, that is, Bible prophecy that is
going to illuminate the reasons for this treachery. When you least expect it, it
will come cascading like the waves of the sea. Betrayers will be everywhere
trying to save their skin. Jesus knew what He was talking about. He even added
some more information: Matt 10:34-36 "Do not suppose that I have
come to bring peace to the earth. I did NOT come to
bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have
come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against
her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’"
Yes, well it’s a sword – an invasion – that
will cause all this heartburn and treachery. Weak people will do anything to
save their lives. By linking up to the prophecies of Book of Micah, Jesus was
directing us to that exact time of fulfillment. It’s the
day of your watchmen – THE DAY GOD VISITS YOU. The
watchmen are already here; they’ve been appointed to witness everything, and
then their job will be to begin the reversal of the calamity, to bring justice
down on the heads of the perpetrators.

have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry –
now restore us! 2 You have shaken the land and torn it open;
mend its fractures, for it is quaking. 3 You have shown your
people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us
stagger. 4 But FOR THOSE WHO FEAR YOU, you
have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow [of
the combat ship – in case you’re curious]. Selah
5 Save us and help us with your right hand, that
those you love may be delivered. 6 God has spoken from his
sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the
What Ephraim
and Manasseh, the House of Joseph, never knew is
that God was with them in battle. When they won glorious battles it was because
God was with them. Since they no longer desire victory according to God’s
standards, and instead want to ‘win the hearts and minds’ of
God’s ancient enemies, now they must fight alone. V10
"Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected
us and no longer go out with our armies? 11 Give us
aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. 12
With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies."
And just to dispel the
myth over who is the God of the Old Testament! It was the Logos,
the Word of God, and the Rock of the Old Testament
– the very same Jesus that appeared on earth and is set to come again: 1Cor 10:1-4 "For
I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers
were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2
They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3
They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual
drink; for they drank from THE SPIRITUAL ROCK THAT ACCOMPANIED THEM,
AND THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST." The Father has placed
everything in the hands of His Son Jesus. And He will handle everything from
the beginning to the end – from the Alpha to the Omega.
As you will see today, on
the world stage the House of Joseph is most prominent. The House of Joseph has
almost stood alone in the war on terror and has been the motivating force
against the heartland of God’s ancient enemies – the Babylonians.
What is so amazing about
all this is that people who have spent a lifetime believing appalling nonsense
– with no support from the Bible, can’t believe that Ephraim, the
What is more, with all
that is now happening in the world – just as God predicted – these same people can’t
discern the signs of the times. They look out and see darkness
descending on the world and think what they are seeing is light. What funny
people they are!
Those who are most
besotted by Satan’s wine now see
It’s true that Ephraim has
a very severe fault, and one which cannot go unpunished. It’s summarized with
these words: Hos 12:8 "Ephraim
boasts, "I am very rich; I have become wealthy. With
all my wealth they will not find in me any iniquity
or sin." I can’t begin to describe God’s contempt for those
who through supercilious self-righteousness boast that they are more righteous
than others. God determines what righteousness is, and anyone who feigns
righteousness and does not obey God can consider themselves contemptuous before God. How God hates haughty
people! But Ephraim means well, and they seem to believe that through their
wealth and influence they can bless all the peoples of the earth. Even those
who are most undeserving, and especially those whom
God considers His enemies.
Oddly enough, at street
level, with all the crime and violence (predominantly by ethnic gangs), the
rest of the world sees this type of behaviour as indicative of
God has made it clear to
the House of Israel who are deserving of death and He commands the punishment
be carried out for all such violations against His Law. He doesn’t permit the
self-righteous to override His instructions. But because they’ve chosen to do
so, in contempt of God’s instructions, God plans to turn the tables on them. If
Justice is what God cries
out for! And justice will descend, but not for Ephraim! They’ve repudiated
justice in all its forms, and replaced it with self-righteousness. Doesn’t
justice cry out from the graves of all those who saw no justice for their
deaths. Where’s the compassion in the liberalized laws of the land that allows
wanton killers to walk free after serving prison terms. And where’s the
deterrent factor? God prescribes death for certain offences, both for justice
and for a deterrent to others, but the liberals have chosen to override God’s
wisdom. Ephraim has sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind, yet they are too
blind to see it!
Do you know what God’s
judgment is concerning the proliferating street gangs and the drug-dealers
among His people
Only then will
When God sets up His
Kingdom, His Laws will be executed judiciously, and with great dispatch. There
will be no doubt in the minds of the people about what justice is, and what it
stands for. Human reasoning will play no part in the execution of God’s Laws.
The funny thing about all
this is that God is not particularly concerned with the regional squabbles of
the ‘lost Ten Tribes of Israel’ around the world with all their wars, including
two world wars, God is more interested in the Holy Land and His Holy City
Jerusalem which is now under siege. And when we see people like
Condoleezza Rice siding against
So how can we be sure we
are in the time of the end now?
The Prophet Daniel said
that in the days of the kings he formerly spoke of as a result of
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the God of heaven would set up a Kingdom that
would never be destroyed. Dan 2:44
"In the time of those kings, the
God of heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be
destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush
all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself
endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the Rock
cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands – a Rock that broke
the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver
and the gold to pieces. The great God has shown the king what
will take place in the future. The dream is true and the
interpretation is trustworthy." Every Bible student knows
what parts of the great image were represented by the iron, bronze, clay,
silver and gold. And this interpretation by Daniel is trustworthy,
and was destined to take place in the future when the

God has much more to say
about this Babylonian mentality in a detailed prophecy in the Book of Habakkuk.
Hab 1:5 "Look
at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For
I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe,
even if you were told. 6 I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and
impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize
dwelling places not their own. 7 They are a feared and
dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and
promote their own honor."
The question is when will this happen? God Himself answers the prophet and
confirms the time as the time of the end: Hab 2:2-5
"Then the LORD replied:
"Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a
herald may run with it. 3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; IT SPEAKS OF THE END
and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it [he] will certainly
come and will not delay. 4 See, he is puffed up; his desires are not
upright – but the righteous will live by his faith – 5 indeed, wine
betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as
the GRAVE and like DEATH is never satisfied, he gathers
to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples."
Well, this is plain enough, but there is so much more in the Book of Habakkuk,
for instance, this: Hab 2:14 "For
the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as
the waters cover the sea." So what will bring this about?
It’s just as we have been telling you – the Mighty Christ will go into action,
and you’ll see mention again of His exploits in Teman
(Arabia) and the devastation of
Hab 3:3-6 "God came from Teman, the Holy One from
V7-13 "I
saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of
Midian in anguish. 8 Were you angry with
the rivers, O LORD? Was your wrath against the streams? Did you rage against
the sea when you rode with your horses and YOUR
VICTORIOUS CHARIOTS? 9 You uncovered your bow, you called
for many arrows. Selah You split the
earth with rivers; 10 the mountains saw you and writhed. Torrents of
water swept by; the deep roared and lifted its waves on high. 11 Sun
and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows,
at the lightning of your flashing spear. 12 In
wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations.
13 YOU CAME OUT TO DELIVER YOUR PEOPLE, to save
your anointed one. YOU CRUSHED THE LEADER OF THE LAND OF
WICKEDNESS, you stripped him from head to foot. Selah
V14-16 "With
his own spear you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out to
scatter us, gloating as though about to devour the wretched who
were in hiding. 15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning
the great waters. 16 I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered
at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. YET I WILL
WAIT PATIENTLY FOR THE DAY OF CALAMITY TO COME ON THE NATION INVADING US."
V17-19 "Though
the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the
olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in
the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the
LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet
of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights."
Any Bible student knows
this has not been fulfilled. None of
these events have been fulfilled. As a matter of fact, John the Baptist spoke
of the mountains disintegrating in a similar manner to Habakkuk who mentions mountains
crumbling and the age-old hills collapsing. John began his ministry by
quoting from Isaiah chapter 40, and in V3 "A voice of
one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in
the wilderness a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be raised
up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground
shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5
And the Glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind
together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
But just a word of
caution! Don’t let any man criticize Ephraim (
It’s all a simple enough
lesson to learn. All one needs to do is to examine the life and times of the
ancient Israelites and to consider God’s instructions to them. God hasn’t
changed! His resolve is as active now as it was then. Again and again, God sent
them to war against His enemies, and they were told to utterly destroy
them! God wanted none of these evil hordes to survive.
And as often as God’s people
And nothing has changed
today. God’s resolve is still as great today to establish the House of Israel
in the Promised Land and to wipe out the hordes that surround it. With all the
might and power that God has given the 12 Tribes of Israel, they have still
utterly failed to fulfill this role. And what is
more, even today, they can’t seem to think of any good reason to do it. Never
mind God’s instructions! They think they can convert these evil beasts into a
fun-loving, peace-loving, democratic community who will love and respect other
nations and people. What is so humorous is that the West has thrown mountains
of money at them on the assumption that when they taste success they will want
success. Instead, they buy weapons and become even more vocal in their hatred
of the West. Meanwhile the general population continue to live like pigs and
snatch whatever they can get from the generosity of the West, while continuing
to spew their hatred and venom. How much more evidence does one need of their
incorrigible and unbending attitudes? Has there been any sign of compliance
with decency from any one of them? They openly defy the West and publicly chant
death to Americans and Israelis. How could any rational person not see that they
are less than worthless?
In the words of God, and
in that famous chapter where John the Baptist began his ministry, God says
this: Isa 40:17 "Before
Him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as
worthless and less than nothing." If this is not enough, in
this same chapter where John the Baptist began his ministry (V3-5), a question is asked: V6 "A voice says,
"Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?"
And the answer is given: "All men are
like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 7
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD
blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 8
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands
forever." Well, apparently the Word of God doesn’t stand
forever in the minds of some who believe God’s enemies are worthy of life. They
don’t see these evil creatures as grass that needs to be blown away or burned
up. They want to prosper them! But God adds more: V23
"He brings princes to naught and reduces the
rulers of this world to nothing. 24 No sooner are they
planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they
take root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither,
and a WHIRLWIND SWEEPS THEM AWAY LIKE CHAFF. 25
"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the
Holy One."
And to whom is God
primarily referring? It’s just as we have been teaching all along. Daniel
explains: Dan 2:35 "Then the iron, the clay,
the bronze, the silver and the gold
were broken to pieces AT THE SAME TIME and BECAME LIKE
CHAFF on a threshing floor in the summer. THE WIND SWEPT THEM
AWAY without leaving a trace. But the Rock that struck the statue
became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth." So it’s pretty
obvious whom God considers to be grass or chaff to be blown away!
It’s the hordes that surround the
It goes without saying,
that God has no interest in those who don’t believe Him!
And such people generally prefer to believe some man’s interpretation of
Scripture that waters down prophecy and gives the
believer better options. There are no better options that actually believing
God’s Word. Their so-called ‘options’ lead to death!
What is more, God says His people are destroyed through lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6), and they can only blame themselves for this
lack of knowledge. He’s spoken through His prophets, and the choice is to believe
Him or not.
Jesus spoke in parables so
that people wouldn’t understand. People didn’t want to understand the real message.
They clambered for what they believed would benefit them, like miracles, and
ignored the rest. They hoped only for good outcomes and this is what is taught
today. But what has the message of the evangelicals been over this many
generations? It’s been to ignore prophecy, and even to claim that it was all
fulfilled at another time. But it was not fulfilled at
another time as Daniel and all the prophets, as well as the Book of Revelation,
clearly states. And all the nations that surround the
There are many things that
God has not revealed to humanity in general, and there was no reason to do
otherwise. Most people are not devoted to God in the same manner that His Son
Jesus is. Therefore, God only reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.
Why would God do otherwise? Even those who feign devotion to God don’t really
care about those things important to Him.
You may not be aware of
it, but God has indicted Ephraim now for their drunken behaviour on Satan’s
wine that has sent them mad. And God’s most trenchant criticism is directed at
the leaders of the people. And I’m sure you don’t know this, but God
plans to wipe them all out in a single day – but we’ll get to this
further in this article. This is what God has to say about their city set on
the head of a fertile valley – the pride of Ephraim! Isa 28:1
"Woe to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s
drunkards, to the fading flower, his glorious beauty, set on the head of a
fertile valley – TO THAT CITY (the Capital City of Washington) the pride of those laid low by wine! 2
See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong.
Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind, like a driving rain and a flooding
downpour, he will throw it forcefully to the ground. 3
That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s drunkards, will be
trampled underfoot. 4 That fading flower, his glorious
beauty, set on the head of a fertile valley, will be like a fig ripe before
harvest – as soon as someone sees it and takes it in his hand, he swallows it. 5
In that day the LORD Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for
the remnant of His people. 6 He will be a spirit of
justice to him who sits in judgment, a source of strength to those who
turn back the battle at the gate. 7 And these [Ephraim’s
drunkards] also stagger from wine
and reel from beer: Priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddled
with wine; they reel from beer, they stagger when seeing visions, they
stumble when rendering decisions. 8 All the tables are covered
with vomit (another name for diplomacy)
and there is not a spot without filth."
Do they ever listen to
God? Have they any idea what they have done? Did they really think that they
would find peace through diplomacy? What sort of drunken fools are they that
they never learn from history, or even observe the conduct
of the people with whom they are trying to buy peace? They have the mentality
of little children who have just been weaned from the breast.
They seem incapable of learning anything about life and its perils. They should
have listened to God, who continues his warning in the next verse: V9 "Who is
it He is trying to teach? To whom is He explaining his message?
To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken
from the breast? 10 For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on
rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there." 11 Very
well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people,
12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let
the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose – BUT
THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN. 13 So then, the Word of the
LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on
rule; a little here, a little there – so that they will go and fall
backward, be injured and snared and captured. 14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers

"We have entered into a covenant with DEATH, with the
GRAVE we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps
by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood
our hiding place." 16 So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay
a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts will never be dismayed. 17 I will make justice
the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away
your refuge, THE LIE, and water will overflow your
hiding place." And what might this LIE be?
God makes it very clear! V18 "Your
covenant with DEATH will be annulled; your agreement with the
GRAVE will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it. 19 As often as it comes
it will carry you away; morning after morning, by day and by night, it will
sweep through. The understanding of this message WILL BRING SHEER TERROR."

Have you seen the false
prophets making their own ‘prophecy’ concerning these things? What mindless
idiocy they have come up with. It’s as if they don’t believe a word that God
has said! What could have possessed them to fabricate such nonsense – and with
absolutely no Biblical support! Well, each and every one of them is in the grip
of Satan, and they’ve been doing his work for him. And this work is to deceive
the nations. Where did God ever suggest that prophecy can be generated from the
minds of those who never believed Him? All prophecy is revealed by God’s
Holy Spirit, and false prophets
don’t have God’s Holy Spirit.
It’s very easy to read
over some of these things without really grasping the significance of it all.
And to go into it with greater detail would require volumes of information. You
don’t need to know the horror the West now faces and I don’t want to be
responsible for people running from the sound of a falling leaf – as God says
in one particular prophecy. But it should be emphasized that there are many
details concerning it all, which you probably would not believe until you
actually experience it. The job of a prophet is to warn and it’s the job of the
recipient to respond and believe God. But without the faith of the ancients,
this is not possible. Heb 11:1-2 "Now faith is being SURE of what we hope for
and CERTAIN of what we do not see. 2 This
is what the ancients were commended for." Does God expect
to find faith on earth when His Christ returns? Luke
18:7-8 "And will not God bring
about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and
night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, He will
see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of
Man comes, WILL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?" And the
answer, sadly, is no! The door will be slammed shut,
and they will be left to face their destiny in the hands of their enemies. They
will be crying out day and night for deliverance
and in want of all things. At the appointed time they will get deliverance (or
salvation), but not before they put their faith
in God. Without faith in God and His Word, expect
nothing!
What treacherous people
there are today who have no faith at all, and yet they see themselves as
pastors and teachers. They don’t honour God as their
Creator, but instead these people happily believe in such fiction as the
‘big-bang’ theory because a demon cripple in a wheelchair in

"Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 BUT

The astute observer should
now realize that Islam has the West cowering and in a constant state of fear
and appeasement. They feel the need to be constantly apologizing for offending
the Muslims. Why is the West tolerating this? Well, I’ll tell you why! After
September 11, 2001, the West should have delivered justice to these Muslim
hordes with overwhelming force and incineration. They should have burned
millions of them alive and reduced them to ashes in response to this outrage.
Instead they sought to make them free and in doing so, made them twice the sons
of hell that they formerly were. Has the West learned nothing? The doctrine of
appeasement has never worked and will never work! But real
justice for the 3000+ innocent lives that were lost on that day would have
worked and ensured peace.
Well the West can carry
their insanity to the grave at the hands of these Muslim swine. Meanwhile the armies
of the Living God will take the fight to the enemy and with weapons that
humanity could never contemplate or envisage. These swine will be ashes under
the feet of the survivors of the House of Israel. If you don’t believe it, it’s
because you have never known your Creator God. Perhaps you need to study the
Scriptures that Christ used – the only Scriptures in
existence during His time on earth.
But there will be
survivors from the House of Israel, and these will fulfill
God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And these will be recruited to do
the job they failed to do in former years. Zech
9:12-17 "Return to your fortress, O
prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as

There’s a long and

The chances for this
present generation are fast fading, and God is now looking to a future
generation who will be purged through the crucible of war and hardship, and
who, through degradation and humiliation will be compliant once more to their
Creator God. God knows through experience with the House of Israel that they
are hard-hearted and obstinate – until they face certain death at the hands of
their enemies, then they suddenly cry out to Him. Well, God says cry out all
you like – He won’t listen! God’s servants know what to cry out
against them, and they have been instructed to do so. All men are grass,
which withers and dies and is blown away by the wind. But the Word of God
stands forever.
Zech 7:11-14
– 8:1-8 "But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they
turned their backs and stopped up their ears. 12 They made their
hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the Law or
to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier
prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry. 13 "When
I called, THEY DID NOT LISTEN; so when they called, I WOULD NOT
LISTEN," says the LORD Almighty. 14
"I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where
they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them
that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land
desolate." 8:1 Again the word of the LORD Almighty came to me. 2
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "I am very jealous for
If anyone thinks that God has
an obligation to them because of former feigned worship, when they happily
discredited all that God has said, then they have made a fatal mistake! So they
refused to listen to Him concerning His Law, His Word,
and the sure Word of prophecy, and now God won’t listen to
them! Feel free to throw yourselves on the ground and howl and plead,
and to remind God of your former, carefully crafted ‘righteousness’ – God
still will not listen!
As a matter of fact, the
perfect treachery has just emerged as we warned of long ago. The first parry of
insolence has just emerged from the House of Joseph – which spells the
death-knell for all the Tribes of Israel. And what could this possibly be?
Well, the wheel has just turned full circle, and has relived the days of Jeroboam
the Ephraimite when he repudiated the Holy City of
God and abandoned it. But this proposed treachery is far worse! This time, it’s
been suggested and advocated that the Israelis should surrender to Hamas and the Palestinians, Hezbollah, and what madness –

GLICK British Prime Minister Tony Blair
has gone on an appeasement spree and no one seems to mind. On
Friday, Blair gave a marquis interview to Al-Jazeera's
new psychological warfare platform - its English-language channel -
to celebrate its launch. It is unclear whether Blair meant
to give the impression in that interview that he agreed with Al-Jazeera's Man-about-Town-in-Britain David Frost's
assertion that the US-British war in In his recent statements and
actions, Blair has been unambiguous in communicating his belief that
peace in No less disturbing than Blair's embrace
of surrender as a national strategy is the utter lack of outrage
against his decision in the British and international media. No one
questioned for instance, his decision to grant Al-Jazeera
in English an exclusive interview. It is widely accepted, even by some
of the British media, that Al-Jazeera's Arabic
satellite station is used as a recruiting tool for global jihad. It
can be reasonably presumed that the THERE ARE many reasons that
actions like Blair's strategic retreat from reason and responsibility
have gone uncriticized by the media. It is not
simply that Western, and particularly European journalists are
overwhelmingly anti-American and virulently anti-Israel. One of the central
reasons for the silence of Western intellectuals and media in the face of
actions like Blair's is fear of death at the hands of jihadists. |
Now that the Democrats
have control of both houses of government in the U.S, there is no telling what direction
events might take in the hands of such cretins. The Democrats would eat their
own children – and chances are they will. Don’t laugh because you probably have
no idea what lies just over the horizon, yet God has made it very clear.
Concerning Bible prophecy
for the immediate future, through Isaiah chapter 9, God says this: Isa 9:13-16 "But the
people have not returned to Him who struck them, nor have
they sought the LORD Almighty. 14 So the
LORD will cut off from

the mightiest nation on earth –
One might have expected a
little better from the Jewish Diaspora, but it seems they’ve also been drinking
too much of Satan’s wine of deceit, and it seems that they too have gone mad.
Do they think they’re God just because they live safely in
As for the ‘heads
and tails’ of the House of Israel, and more particularly Ephraim and
Manasseh of the House of Joseph, their hope of good outcomes is
rapidly diminishing. Such people will rue the day they ever believed God to be
petty, and silly enough to be beguiled by their pathetic way of worshiping Him!
And in the day that they have the gall to turn against Judah – the
Israelis, there will be no delay in their death and destruction.
They’ll have a long and agonizing wait for salvation, and even then they will
be gathered one by one: Isa 27:12
"In that day the LORD will thresh from
the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of
But the real irony in all
this is that salvation is of the Jews, just as Jesus said (John 4:22-24). And who is going to save the
remnant of Ephraim and give them rest? It’s the Jews! The Jews
will need some training about how to be strong and to forget all their former
strategies of dealing with Muslims, but they will get some help from the Sons
of Jerusalem (Zech 12:4-6).
They’ll soon forget all about Ephraim’s cowardly way of fighting. There will be
