Chinese Government
contracts and their insatiable appetite for expanded natural resources around the
globe, especially African nations, fit into Bible prophecy and was predicted in
this prophecy book.
Most all existing Bible prophecy literature is based on flawed
paradigms. This book (Volume
Seven) utilizes a non-traditional look at
end-times (Bible Prophecy) to expose said flaws and proffer new
questions and new answers. This book will not only challenge
said flawed paradigms but provide scriptures, dates, timelines,
history, geography, topography, specific identities, insight and
concepts never before examined, heretofore, to fix said problems
and reinforce the veracity of this thesis. It is critical to
read the entire thesis before making a final decision. To
discard the findings of this book prematurely by reading only
bits and pieces runs contrary to good research. Careful
analysis requires a full review of the problem(s) and the
thesis. Drawing early conclusions without reading the entire
argument will impede one’s ability to grasp the full truths
found in this book and in the Bible.
THE PROBLEMS
Due to apparent hysteria resident in the early church, Apostle
Paul tried to calm said hysteria by letting the believers know
that a number of events must occur before Christ would return.
And, the phrase “no man knows the day or hour” is too often
misused. The Matthew 24:36 recorded words of Christ comes as a
result of three major questions asked by the disciples, but only
after Christ had already prophesied concerning the destruction
of the temple (Matthew 24:1-2). The three questions the
disciples asked were:
1)
When shall theses things be (temple destruction)?
2)
What shall be the sign of thy coming?
3)
What shall be the sign of the end of the world?
Christ did not dismiss the above questions. They were very
relevant and legitimate questions. In fact, Christ provided a
lengthy discourse relative to the said questions. Perhaps he did
not disclose the exact temple destruction date (70 A.D.) nor did
he disclose the exact dates of the abominations (one being 691
A.D., and the other being 2022 A.D.) or which one of the two “abominations that causes desolation”
(verse 15) he referenced , nor did he disclose the exact
date of his return (“the end of the world”), but he did make
reference to them with vague generalities, analogies and
references as future events. In other words, Christ was not suggesting that
people could not know these answers nor was he suggesting that
people should neglect or abandon the study of this subject. To
the contrary, Christ was implying that his disciples (and
others) could understand and know end-time events and dates with a degree of certainty. Even the Magi figured out the birth
and appearance of the Messiah. Likewise, John implied that a
wise person could figure out the end-time mysteries (Revelation
13:18; 17:9). Of course, knowing the exact hour (Matthew 24:42)
of Christ’s return is not knowable and for obvious reasons.
Problem One - Misidentified Empires
1.
Two key hints, relative to identifying
end-time symbols and
kingdoms, and often overlooked, can be found in the
Book of
Daniel and in the
Book of Revelation. These two ignored or
unnoticed hints have caused many of the paradigm flaws,
promulgated by most if not all eschatological scholars, that
have emerged and prevailed. The first hint was given by Daniel
in Daniel Chapter 7 verse 17 where he uses the phrase “that
will rise”. Since Daniel had this dream (Daniel 7) after
Nebuchadnezzar was already dead and just three years before
Persia conquered Babylon, Daniel clearly excluded Babylon by his
words, “that will rise”. Undeniably, Babylon already
WAS, had already risen to its zenith and was nearly expired.
One must conclude that Babylon was not in the mix of beasts
Daniel saw in Daniel 7. In fact, to include Babylon in Daniel 7
contradicts scripture.
2.
The second hint that was given was given by John found in
Revelation Chapter 17 verses 9-11. John said, “They are also
seven kings, five have fallen, one is, the
other has not yet come” and “The beast who once was
and now is not, is an eighth king, he belongs to
the seven.” John was clearly talking about eight empires, five
of which had fallen, one that was (Rome) with two more to come.
The last empire being an eighth empire that was one of the
original seven. Furthermore, said eighth empire had to be one
of the empires that existed prior to Rome, meaning it had to be
one of the first five empires. This prophecy book will clearly
identify Daniel’s and John’s empires.
Problem Two - Prophetic Chronology
1.
Prophetic scriptural writings are either intentionally or
accidentally written in a non-chronological format, close, but
not exact.
2.
Both the
Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation are so
written.
3.
Knowing when to stop and when to start applying scriptures to
various sections of history can be challenging, to say the
least, but a “spread sheet” format with great breadth is the
only real method that will solve the meanings of prophetic
symbolism.
Problem Three - The Seven Churches
1.
Where the Seven Churches are situated geographically and why
they were selected over all the other potential churches have
more to do with the eschatological message than previously
presented by traditional views.
Problem Four - The Scarlet Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns
1.
The Scarlet Beast with seven heads and ten horns is not Rome or
the EU, as is often believed. It must be excluded by using a
simple elimination method introduced by John (Revelation
17:9-11), which includes purposive, scriptural elimination and
descriptive data. (See Briggs Empire Elimination Matrix in the
Appendices.)
2.
The Seven Heads and Ten Horns are not new end-time kingdoms or
kings that appear just before Christ’s return, except that Head
Seven and the Tenth Horn is obviously much closer to Christ’s
return than the first Six Heads and the first Nine Horns. It is
the Eighth Head and the Eleventh Horn that should be looked
for.
Problem Five - The Second Beast with Two Horns like a Lamb
1.
The Second Beast is not the “antichrist”. In fact, the term
“antichrist is not even used in John’s vision. The term
antichrist represents many individuals throughout the world and
can even be found right in church congregations, even Apostolic
Pentecostal Churches.
2.
The Second Beast may or may not be an individual. Said beast is
more likely to be a specific nation (explained below) but could
possibly be a president or religious leader from said specific
nation.
Problem Six - The Whore
1.
The Whore (Mystery
Babylon the Great) is not the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) per se,
although the RCC (among many other religious organizations,
governments, cities, etc.) should be included as one of the daughters of
the Whore and for a number of reasons.
2.
Firstly, the Vatican City does not topographically sit on seven
hills, as is thought. Although there may be a lot of good
reasons why people want the Whore to be the RCC, it just does
not fit.
3.
Secondly, when the heretical “Christian Church” was adopted by
Rome to be the Official State Religion, the government seat of
Rome was no longer in Italy where the Vatican City is located.
4.
Thirdly, Constantine’s Crusades were not initiated by Rome,
Italy (the Vatican City) but from New Rome where its new seat of
government was together with its first ecclesiastical seat of
government.
5.
Fourthly, and most significantly, the RCC is not ancient enough
to sit on the heads on five (possibly six depending on how you
count the empires) of the seven empires. There are other
reasons but they will become obvious as the reader studies the
rest of this book.
6. Fifthly, the
Vatican City (or her doctrines) was not responsible for all
murders on the earth from the beginning of time.
7.Regarding a different
theory,
the Whore is not Ancient Babylon (Iraq) revived. That
theory does not fit well with Bible prophecy. Not only is
there not enough time left to rebuild her, she is not
responsible for all the murders on the earth. However,
interesting parallels can be drawn.
Problem Seven - The Mark of the Beast
1.
The
Mark of the beast is traditionally interpreted as a physical
mark (stamp, etc.) placed on an individual’s right hand or
forehead and is commonly known as "666
or 616". More recently some are now claiming that this mark
will be in the form of the new and upcoming combined use of
fingerprint shopping (already used in many places of the world)
and iris print shopping (not fully developed/perfected), for
those with no right hand or for those who chose to use the iris
print over the fingerprint.
2.
Although the above technological methods will undoubtedly be
employed in end-times, in and of themselves they are not the
true meaning of the Mark of the Beast.
Problem Eight - The Dragon
1.
The Dragon is probably the one biblical symbol in John’s vision
that is the most accurately interpreted. The dragon is commonly
identified as Satan—the ancient serpent called the devil. This
is most likely an accurate interpretation. In addition, this
Dragon (Revelation 12) is also given descriptive characteristics
identical to that of the Scarlet Beast (Revelation 17) and for a
very good reason. There will be more discussion on this later.
Problem Nine - The Antichrist
1.
The term
antichrist is not used in the Book of Revelation or in
the Book of Daniel, for that matter. In fact, the term
antichrist is commonly misused by most “Christians”, ministers
and theologians.
2.An
antichrist can be anybody and many of them can exist
simultaneously. An antichrist is anyone who behaves, acts,
speaks or believes contrary to the teachings of Christ and the
advancement of his Kingdom.
3.
One can, however, strongly argue that the Scarlet Beast’s Eighth Head (Eleventh
Horn) and his two-horned cohort would be “chief” among
antichrists. But this does not diminish the existence of the
many antichrists already in existence today (and that have
existed in the past). All the antichrists alive on the earth at
the time of the mark of the beast establishment will not only
participate, but will join forces with the Scarlet Beast and his
two-horned cohort.
Problem Ten - The Abomination that causes Desolation
1.
The
abomination that causes desolation is not the
"destruction" of
the third temple by Titus, per se,
nor the acts of Antiochus Epiphanes
in 167 B.C. when he set up an altar to Zeus and sacrificed a
pig,
but rather said abominations
were to be a "construction" (that is set up) that causes
desolation. Titus may have initiated one of
the several "destructions" of the temple that happened through out the temple’s
long history but his was not the “abomination that causes
desolation” that Daniel the prophet spoke about. And, since
this said abomination(s) had not yet happened in Mashia's day,
any theory that dates Daniel's abomination(s) prior to the
coming of Mashia must be excluded.
There are two qualifying desolations that were to
follow Daniel’s time (Daniel 9:26—the plural word desolations
is used), but the act of Antiochus or Titus alone was not the “abomination
that causes desolation” of which Daniel spoke.
Obviously, identifying
these abominations (especially the first one) will provide dates
on the calendar which in turn allows the fixing of other
significant events like,
the battle of
Armageddon,
the
Last Trumpet Sound
(often misnamed "the rapture"), the middle of Daniel's "
seventieth week", etc., etc. Keep in mind the following
minimum qualifications:
a) The abomination must be a construction (set up) not solely a
destruction.
b) The abomination must prevent Israel from using the Temple
Mound.
c) The abomination must post-date Mashia's coming.
d) The abomination must last a minimum of 1290 days/years
extending to 1335 days/years, minus 7 days/years (the covenant
period), which equals 1328 days/years.
e) During the abomination period, the abomination erecting
empire must make a seven year covenant with Israel.
f) Subsequently, said empire must breach said covenant 3.5 years
into the said covenant.
g) After said breach, the "end" must come within 3.5 years.
The Titus and the Antiochus acts do not fit any the above minimums
and therefore must be discarded. See the
abomination webpage for more
details about how Islam, the OIC, the Muslims, the
Dome of the Rock, the Jews,
etc. fit into Bible prophecy and read the book for full details
on many more prophetic issues.
Problem Eleven - The Woman
1.
The Woman is not the early Church for a number of logical
reasons.
2.
The Church did not give birth to the Messiah who was taken up to
heaven.
3.
The Church was not protected for 1260 days (years), the Jews
were.
Problem Twelve - The Two Feet with Ten Toes
1.
The Two Feet with
Ten Toes of the statue in King
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is not Rome or the EU (Rome
resurrected). Remember John excluded Rome from end-times
(Revelation 17:9-11). Therefore, all the theories about Rome
revived or mixed with Israel (etc.) as being the feet with ten
toes do not and cannot apply. Neither can the USA, China,
India, Canada, etc. be considered since they are not one of the
first five empires (see Appendices for charts).
Problem Thirteen - The King who Exalts Himself
1.
The King who exalts himself is not Antiochus of Rome.
Problem Fourteen - Daniel’s 1290 and 1335 Days
1.
The 1290 and 1335 days mentioned by Daniel are not literal 24
hour days. They are years. Daniel was consistent with his
meaning of days. If days represent years in one portion of his
writings, then days will mean the same thing in another portion
of his writings.
2.
Since traditional interpretations did not know how to apply
these days, they switched its meaning to 24 hour days in an
attempt to try and make it fit in some other way, but it does
not.
3.
Knowing when and how to apply said days (as years) is the key to
Biblical interpretation.
This feature book (Eschatological
Epistemology) challenges the traditional points of view of
Christian eschatology (prophecy). More often than not, answers to mysteries are
solved by first asking the right questions. And more often than
not, the information that answers said questions is available.
Therefore, asking the right questions coupled with diligent
research will unveil the secrets of a mystery, especially as it
relates to Bible prophecy. This is the
essence of wisdom—knowing how to apply existing knowledge
(information).
