The Woman of Revelation 12 and The Eagle

Who is the woman of Revelation 12? Is she an actual woman? Let’s look closer to see how Daniel’s prophesies parallel with those of John in Revelation.

Revelation 12:7 – An there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels…

We see here that there is a war between good and evil. Michael is an archangel. He is also the angel of war. He is a leader of angels in heaven. Gabriel is another archangel, who is the messanger of God.

The Book of Revelation was written at about 96 AD. This was almost 700 years after the Book of Daniel was written. We will see how these two prophets’ prophesies were parallel.

Daniel 12:1 – “And that time shall Michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people.”

Thy people are the chosen, who are Jews. The time of trouble that is spoken of in these passages are referred to as the Great Tribulation. This is a tribulation where the dragon (satan) will deceive many.

This is parallel to Revelation 12 where the Lord talks about a great tribulation. The Lord’s chosen who are saved will be delivered. This also refers to the 144,000 from the 12 Tribes of Isreal. Contrary to Jehovah’s Witnesses followers, but according to the Word of God, they are the Jews who are saved during the Great Tribulation.

So when does this Great Tribulation take place?

… Revelation 12: 8-9 – And prevailed not. Neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world. 

Satan has even deceived one out of three angels in heaven (a third part of the stars? – Rev. 12: 4). Yes, satan has angel followers. Do you think he could do all of his dirty work alone?

Some believe that the Great Tribulation will begin when Satan is cast down. Think about this: the Abomination of Desolation will spark the beginning of the Great Tribulation. This is when the antichrist will become possessed of the devil himself.

With that in mind, I believe that when the Abomination of Desolation (this is when the antichrist will sit in the third temple, proclaiming to be Christ) occures, that is when Michael the archangel has cast the dragon (Satan) upon the earth.

Revelation 12:13 – “And when the dragon saw that he was cast into the Earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Who is this woman? Who is the man child?

Undoubtly the woman is Isreal and of course Jesus is her man child. Satan (the antichrist) will come against Isreal like never before. He will also come against all followers of Christ.

Revelation 12:14 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”

America is known for being the eagle. Our national bird is the eagle. She is also the only friend of Isreal. Undoubtly America will be there to aid Isreal during this Great Tribulation.

What is a time and time and half a time? – It is 3 1/2 years.

Another Scripture to back up the Abomination of Desolation is when the Lord addressed His people in the Book of Matthew:

Matthew 24:15 – When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place. (whoso readeth let him understand). Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.

When looking at the parallel of Scripture from Daniel and the Book of Revelation, the Abomination of Desolation and the casting down of Satan by Michael will occur at about the same time.

Be What You Want to Be, But Are You Saved?

There is something that has been really weighing heavy on my mind. With my pastor’s sermon the other day, I feel that I must talk about this. I feel like it was confirmed to write about this, today.

First of all, let’s look at all of the denominations out there. There are so many different types of Christians, but are you saved? If you are saved, are you saved according to the Word of God?

Ephesians 4:5 – There is One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism.

Many of us were raised by our wonderful family in the Christian faith. That is wonderful. I was raised Catholic, actually. I remember being baptised in a lake when I was about 5. I lived in Arizona at the time. Then I remember when I was about 9 or 10, our priest poured water over my head. The Catholics call that being baptised.

I am very blessed that my parents taught me what they know about Jesus Christ. Without that influence in my life, who knows, I may never have even heard of the name of Jesus.

However, I got older and felt the Lord wanting to show me more. There was a hunger for more in God.

Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled.

There was something more that I wanted to know. I just followed this voice.

The first time that I repented was when I told my mother about things that I should not have done. I was about 16 at the time. I felt horrible, ashamed and truly sorry. I got down on my hands and knees and asked the Lord to forgive me for everything that I had done in my life. I felt peace and I felt the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Soon after I met my (now ex) boyfriend. I told the Lord that I would stay with him and I did. I felt bad because we were together. I was living with him. Of course I was sleeping with him and I felt that it was wrong, because I had repented prior to meeting him. Not to mention, he was still married. I had to stay with him because I really didn’t have any other choice at the time, but to move back to my Dad’s. That was a no-go, so I stayed with my boyfriend.

Three years later we got married. I felt the Lord drawing me some more. We had visited an Apostolic church and I felt the presense so strong that the Holy Ghost slain me in the Spirit (I fell to the ground and felt a wonderful presense, unlike any other – all I could see was white but my eyes were closed). I knew that it felt right.

It wasn’t until about 4 years later. We had moved to Arizona for 15 months, when my daughter was a baby. My daughter and I visited an Apostolic church and I felt right there. Deep down I knew the Lord drew me there, but we ended up moving away.

While we were in Arizona, I felt overwhelmed to come back to Louisiana, because I needed to be in that church!

I knew that there was something there. We did move back, right after my first son was born and that is when it all happened. My world was spun upside down so bad that I had to go into the hospital for 9 days. Sometimes it takes a wake up call to get us to straighten up. When I first went back, there were several occasions that I could have gone, but didn’t go. The devil was on  my heels too.

When you first decide to come to God, that is when Satan will fight the hardest. You must push through that! Jesus is with you!

Satan won’t fight something that is already his. Remember that!

I finally went to church at the same place when my daughter was an infant, because when I got out of the hospital, I sought the Lord and told Him to tell me what to do next.

 He told me to call my pastor to see if he baptised in Jesus’ name!

That is after He showed me the Church in the Book of Acts. Some may think I am crazy, but how else would a Catholic girl who is seeking the Lord find this scripture in the Word of God, without asking Him? First of all, Catholics don’t even have the same Bible that other Christians do.

Soon after, I was baptised in Jesus’ name and I was filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. I knew then that I was filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, because I spoke in another language. Before I was just Holy Spirit lead. I now know that there is a difference.

So anyone can call me what they want to – Baptist – Catholic – Apostolic. I know that now I am saved! I know because the Bible tells me so. Praise the Lord!

Acts 2

Go ahead read it, but pray first!

 

Is the “Great Whore” of the Book of Revelation an Actual Woman?

As I read the journal entry of a traveler to Rome, my mind begins to imagine what they saw. It was described as an untraditional type of “Christian” atmosphere. There seemed to be a mixture of Pagan and religious aura everywhere. They went on to explain how very foreign it was compared to the traditional New Testament church found in the Holy Bible.

Pontifix Maximus was a pagan High Priest before Christ and many tombs and statues had this written right along with the name of each pope. Paganism began to slither its way back into the church at about 382 AD and popes began reclaiming the Pontifux Maximus name.

The visitors recollected the atmosphere when Pope Benedict XVI made his way through town and how there was an unusual worshipful atmosphere around them.

Revelation 17:18 – The woman is that great city, which reignith over the kings of the earth.

What is this great city? We know now that the Great Whore is not actually a woman, but because of this scripture, we know now that “she” is a city.

Revelation 17:3 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

This “woman” or city sits upon many waters. What waters? In scripture we find that these waters are not actually any body of water, but peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

Revelation 17:15 – And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

There is in fact an international city that is the headquarters over nations. If you look closer to the scripture, you will see that the woman was sitting on a seven headed beast. We know that there is a seven headed beast, but in this passage the Lord clarifies what these seven heads are.

Revelation 17:9 – And here is the mind which has wisdom; The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Okay we have the woman being a city who sits on a seven headed beast which are seven mountains.

Which city has seven mountains? If you look in any encyclopedia, you will notice that Rome is called the City of Seven Hills. Not only that, they are so popular that each one of them has its own name.

Remember that this scripture was written 2000 years ago. This was way before Rome, the Roman Catholic church and any international organization came about. One may ask if the Catholic church obtains such power to rule over all the kings of the earth?

Why of course she does! The Common Law of 1951 grants the right to the Pope to guide political thinking of any and all members. When a pope is crowned, it is recited “we now crown you as king of kings and ruler of rulers of the earth.”

King of Kings and Ruler of Rulers?

They may as well call him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. After all his crown does say “Vicar of the Son of God” or Vicarius Filii Dei.

When one read and understands what Revelation (especially 17) says, it is easy to see why the Catholic church has their own Bible called the Catechism. This is the church’s way to cover the truth from their members. It is forbidden for members to read any other than the Catechism.

Revelation 17:4 – And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.

I have been in some of the most beautiful Catholic cathedrals. They will simply take your breath away. The murals are gorgeous. There is gold trim all throughout the interior. It is like being in a castle. But why are the colors of the whore’s wardrobe so significant? Let’s look at what Catholic hierarchy wear.

The Cardinals wear red (scarlet).

The Archbishops and Bishops wear purple.

These groups are a major part of the governmental system of the Catholic church.

Let’s break it all down so that it is easier to grasp.

Great Whore – City

7 Headed Beast – 7 Hills (mountains)

Woman wore red and purple – Catholic leaders wear red and purple

Sits on many waters – there are over 800,000,000 Catholics worldwide

This woman was drunken with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus.

During the middle ages there was an estimated 68,000,000 Christians who were murdered by the Roman Catholic church. That is just one statistic.

I myself witnessed torture chambers, gas chambers, beds of nails and other means of torture in ancient Catholic museums when I lived in Europe.

The Holy Bible is against all Catholic doctrine. That is why it is kept from the members who are blind of her deception.

Revelation 18:4 – And I heard another voice from Heaven saying come out of her, my people that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5 – For her sins have reached unto Heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Could the Mark of the Beast “666″ Actually Be “616″?

First of all, make sure that when you read this you know that this is not what I am implying. Rather it is something questioned by theologians. Please always pray and study for yourself in regards to anything that I blog. In fact most of what I am blogging can be found at Endtime.com. It is dangerous to take away from or add to the Word of God.

Why is it important to know the number of the beast? First of all, the scripture in question even states that we should have wisdom.

Revelation 13:18 – Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast…

This scripture alone tells us to have understanding. The Lord wants us to be aware of prophecy.

…for it is the number of a man and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

So many think of this and believe that Six hundred threescore and six reads “666″. According to one New Testament manuscript, dating back to 300 A.D., it is showing the number 616 in Greek letters. In fact according to at least three other Greek manuscripts, the number found is 616.

Out of the 2300 Greek New Testament manuscripts, 280 contain parts of the Book of Revelation. There is even an 11th century manuscript that writes 665.

This is just something for anyone to ponder. Remember to research this on your own. Also, keep in mind the part of Revelation 13:18 that is italicized above. 666 is the number of a man.

The Power of Forgiveness

My pastor preached on forgiveness last night and I wanted to talk about it.

No matter what we do in this life or whether we are even saved, there will always be people who hurt us. There will be those that will let us down. As a Christian, we must not let unforgiveness consume us. It WILL stunt our Christian growth.

When we cannot forgive our brothers and sisters, we can  make our relationship with the Lord to become stagnant. It is virtually impossible to continue a productive Christian walk when we do not forgive others.

Unforgiveness begats bitterness. Bitterness begats self destruction.

Just as Pastor Holley explained, when we cannot forgive one another, we become rebellious. The Lord forgives us and expects us to forgive others. Even as He was dieing on the cross He forgave His own people who crucified Him, that is after He was spit on, beat with whips, knocked down and nailed to the cross.

As long as we are bringing up the past and not forgiving of wrong doings, we are really only hurting ourself. By us not forgiving those who hurt us we are making it harder on ourself, because it will not effect the person who hurt us.

Many people see forgiveness as a sign of weakness. I would beg to differ. Forgiveness is a sign of strength. Without it you will not be able to move up in the Lord.

Examples of Forgiveness Include:

• Forgiving your ex.
• Forgiving the man who raped you.
• Forgiving your child’s abuser.
• Forgiving your neighbor for stealing from you.
• Forgiving your parents.
• Forgiving your children.
• Forgiving YOURSELF!

Hey, the first person that we should always forgive is ourself. If we cannot do that, we will continue to live a miserable life.

Forgiveness is the hardest thing to do, but it produces good fruits when it is done. You will begin to feel joy, love, peace, happiness and so much relief.

The same goes with asking for forgiveness. Try going to someone you have hurt and ask them to forgive you. You will notice a huge relief, even if they laugh in your face. Why? Because you have done your part. The weight is no longer weighing you down. The choise of forgiveness weighs on them. From there they will either forgive or become bitter and spiritually stagnant.

Bitterness is like drinking venom, wishing someone else to die.

The only one is the world who is worthy of vengeance is the Lord Jesus Christ. When we can learn to forgive others, we are displaying the love of Christ. It is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.

I recently explained to my daughter, “Mom will let you down and others will hurt you. Never blame Jesus, because He loves you more than anyone in the world, even Mom… Jesus will never let you down.”

A Closer Look at Anti-Semitism in Endtime Prophesy

The Lord warned of anti Semitism first in the book of Matthew, If you would look in Chapter 24, you can see how the Lord spoke of a holy place. This place being Judea. More specifically in the West Bank. These are those Jews who are still very religious. These are the chosen that Satan despises and prosecutes first.

Matthew 24: 15 – When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand).

So what is the Abomination of Desolation?

This is when the antichrist will sit in the new (third) temple proclaiming to be Christ. Many will believe him and many won’t. Jews were warned by Christ and this was prophesied by the Prophets Daniel and John.

Anti Semitism has been around since even before Christ. It is more prevalent now. It was astonishing in the days of Hitler. Before we go there, let’s look further back to the days of Jacob.

Joseph (the son of Jacob) had a dream pertaining to what the prophet Daniel and John both visualized, concerning Israel and the end times.

Genesis 37:9 – And he dreamed yet another dream and told it his brethren, and said, Behold I have dreamed a dream more, and behold the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

The woman in Revelation 12:1 symbolizes Israel or represents Jews. The red dragon is Satan (and China, but we will talk more about that later). Satan will rise up against Israel and this will occur at the West Bank. Israel will be protected by the eagle analogy used in the Bible (who is America).

(I will discuss Revelation 12 in-depth at a later time).

Anti Semitism is everywhere from the southern US to the streets of Berlin, Germany. Eventually it will be most of the entire world against Israel. Hitler killed Jews in the name of his self defining form of “Christianity”. Hitler WAS NOT a Christian. Hitler was antichrist (not ‘the antichrist’, but a form of being against Christ).

When we see the West Bank of Israel ravished, this is the fulfilling of the Revelation 12 prophesy.

Shining the Light on The Holy Roman Empire

The prophet Daniel interpreted a dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had some hundreds of years before the actual Holy Roman Empire came into force. It wasn’t until about 800 A.D. that the Holy Roman Empire was established.

What is the Holy Roman Empire?

If you read the Book of Daniel chapter 2:32, you will see the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had and the interpretation of it. When Daniel interpreted the dream, he became the King’s closest confidant. Here is what he described in the dream. Remember that the King always looked to sorcerers, astrologists and others for interpretations. Daniel is a prophet of the living God.

Daniel 2:32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze

-The Head of the image was made of gold.

-The breasts and arms were made of silver.

-The belly and thighs are made of brass.

-The legs were made of iron

-The feet were made of iron and clay.

Daniel 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay

December 25, 800 Pope Leo III crowned German leader Charlemagne head of the Holy Roman Empire, thus fulfilling the prophesy spoken by the prophet Daniel some 600 years before Christ.

After that the holy Roman Empire stood strong with the highest authority in Europe and Italy’s pope. That is why it is considered “holy”.

The Holy Roman Empire ceased in the 1800’s and many believe that it will never be reestablished. However the Bible speaks of the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire, right before the second coming of Christ. This rebuilt Holy Roman Empire will be rebuilt by the False prophet and the Antichrist.

If you look at the early Holy Roman Empire and who was in charge of it then, can you make a good judgment in who will be leading the new Holy Roman Empire?

Think about it…

Identifying the Beasts of the Bible

Have you ever read through the Bible and made your way to the Book of Revelation? Have you ever wondered what the Word of God talks about when it uses analogies of animals? In this post, I will explain the different beasts that the Bible speaks of and compare them to earthly kingdoms and kings.First of all, if you look in the Bible, you will notice that the Book of Daniel is a direct reflection of the Book of Revelation. With that in mind, you can easily see how two prophets, living in different times, had visions that were similar.

The Bear 

Daniel 7:5 - 

“And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh”.

There is more than one account in the Bible where there is a bear analogy used. In post political posts, the bear represents Russia. Years ago the Indianapolis Star made a reference to two animal analogies that we find in the Bible. 

 

“After The British Lion, The Russian Bear.”

The Lion

The Book of Daniel speaks of the lion in Daniel 7:4. This comes as no surprise being the official symbol of Great Britian.

In the scriptures listed, we will talk about the meanings when we venture off into the Book of Revelation.

There is more detail meaning of what these animal analogies are throughout parts of the Bible.

 The Eagle

 

Are you surprised that the Eagle spoken about in the Bible is America? Not only is there references made about the eagle, but there are many made about the wings of an eagle. You can find this in both the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel.

 

 

 

 

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings

thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.”

 

 Many accounts are made to reference these animal analogies. As we dig deeper into the Bible, we can compare these analogies to kingdoms and kings. It will show how history was prophesied 2,500 years ago and before the coming of Jesus Christ. I will show how these prophesies are being fulfilled each and everyday in the present.

There are more animal analogies, so stay tuned…

How To Spot An Awesome Internet Marketer to Follow

Ok we all know that Internet Marketing gurus come a dime a dozen. They seem to offer the best deals, advice and encouragement all for the simple cost of your email address. That is fine, but are they offering you fluff?

Let me explain:

First of all, I have been online for about 7 years. I have made money with online endeavors. I am also a writer, who has made a good amount of money in the past seven years. However, throughout the past two years, I have been struggling with my online marketing. I am ready to find what will work for me, so now I am researching.

This is not about what I have found or me wanting anyone to join an affiliation. This is about me telling you who is an ideal marketer to follow. What are their good marketing qualities?

1. For one, make sure that they are utterly and completely honest. You want someone who not only knows what they are talking about, but is as honest as they can be about their endeavors.

2. Selling yourself is another great strategy for any Internet Marketer. You have to remember that if you are too into yourself, that can easily be misunderstood by others and be a complete turn off. Expose your personal life to a minimal.

Do not mix your personal life with your professional blogs. For instance, it is good to have a blog for sharing your family, but keep that separate from your professional blog. By ALL means do not share intimate pictures of yourself, especially on your professional profile.

3. Find someone who loves to give. Remember who your market is. Most people looking for an online endeavor is looking for something that isn’t going to cost an arm and a leg. Remember that if you can give free advice, you can draw more. Look for that in an Internet Marketing guru, as well. Look for someone who will offer you free advice without throwing you an affiliate link.

As I continue my online endeavors, I will continue to share advice.

Your Answer is Not In Egypt

Where do we turn when we need an answer? Where do we turn when we need anything? Don’t look to the world for your answer.

“¹Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!”

Is your faith in popularity? Is your faith in the world and what society can offer? Is your faith in the things that look strong? Where does your faith lie? Put it into something that is of God. Put it into someone who seeks God.

²Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

God is strong! Who will seek after popularity and the things of the world that appear secure? How about those who try their hardest to take their own knowledge and use it deceitfully, for their own benefit? The Lord says that He will rise against those. So where is your faith?

³Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holden shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Be careful where you put your faith. Men, especially worldly men are definitely not God. Those things that make them strong (the horse analogy) are carnal and not of God. The wrath of God is real. Jesus is a loving God who judges the hearts. He is also a just God.

⁴For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

⁵As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

Where is your faith? Jesus Christ will fight for His Church.

⁶Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

Jesus came and died for all, even the Gentile. He was betrayed by His very own people, so let that be your blessed assurance. When it seems that everyone (even your family) has turned against you, rest assured that the Lord is there for you. Remember: His own people crucified Him.

⁷For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

   ⁸Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

The truth of the living Word is as a sharpened sword. The Word goes forth and because of the deception of  ”>worldly prosperity and security, the Word alone will cause men to throw away his possessions.

Where is your faith? Does it lie in what you have? Are you becoming a part of the Laodecia church? The church of no concern? The church of prosperity? The church of comfort and plush living?

Where is your faith? You won’t find it in Egypt.
