The Prophecy Page II Continues...
Finally, there are those whom potentionally cannot receive the Lord's Word on a fair basis, and psychologically comprehend it. Neither can they work for satan, or his sycophant demons. These include the mentally impaired, little children, toddlers, babies, etc.. Jesus said not to trouble little children, because they had angels "who see the face of My Father" who art in heaven all the time. These are the four groups I wish to address. There are also four judgements arising from the dust of the earth: Like crackling blue flames spreading horror where they strike, these four tormentors will help purify the planet of all unrighteousness. They will kill 1/4 of every man, woman, and child on the face of the planet.
The Four Judgements:
For thus saidth the Lord God; How much more when I send My four sore judgements....the sword, famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off man and beast ? Ezekiel 14:21.
The four judgements are repeated in Revelation 6:8 by the Apostle St. John during his exile on the Greek island of Patmos...The first horseman is the spreader of false religious doctrine, new age influences, astrology (Isaiah 47:12-14; Deuteronomy 13:1-5; 18:9-15), anti-Christian beliefs, pseudo-Christianity, etc.. The horseman has a conquering bow; while in contrast, Jesus has a sword, and will rule the nations (Revelation 19:11-16). He will do this with a rod of iron. The horseman has only one crown, while Jesus has many crowns. Also, Jesus introduces this horseman as one of God's judgements alongside the other horseman. Revelation 6:1. Jesus Himself leads the armies of heaven on His horse. Revelation 19:14. The horseman is not Jesus. The next horseman involves war, and while it leads into Great Tribulation---We are not yet in Great Tribulation. In His prophecy on the Mount of Olives, Jesus specifically said, "All these are the beginnings of sorrows". Matthew 24:6-8. They are only the beginnings of the global flames of war which will soon flare up again. Flames which will lead into that period of human history known as Great Tribulation (Or what Biblical scripture refers to as Jacob's Trouble: Incidentally, during this period owning a gun will not help you---No ! Not even for self-defensive purposes. As a matter of fact, the Bible seems to indicate if you kill someone during that period you will be killed. Revelation 13:10. The only way out is by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior now). If a man is unconcerned, and he's heading towards Great Tribulation, and says "We will die someday anyway". I suggest he read Revelation 9:1-11, and consider this question, What if later on God does not allow you to die, and permits a terrifying hellish torture by satanic forces instead ? Sin must be punished. As for now punishment is only procrastinated in a manner of speaking. The next horseman involves famine. I can still remember the horrific scenes of famine victims starving in the African nation of Ethiopia during the 1980's. Despite millions of dollars in food aid, medical supplies, media coverage, and diplomatic activity starvation was still rampant. If food relief groups were still working around the clock, Why were so many denizens of Ethiopia starving ? Again, I once read the soil of Ethiopia is rich enough to feed the entire continent of Africa. So, Why were the people starving if they were blessed with such natural resources ? I can state three reasons....1. Through out the 1980's the Soviet Union poured over $3 Billion dollars into Ethiopia alone, but most of the money was used to export revolution, arms, and to finance military operations against Eritrea and/or Somalia. There was also the indoctrination of communist philosophy into the minds of the populace; 2. Many of Ethiopia's farmers were compelled at gunpoint to join government soldiers, thereby, abandoning farms (A common problem when some African nations have civil conflicts); 3. Government security forces often failed to protect relief workers in their efforts to restribute food inland. However, it is crucial to realize other nations have experienced intense problems with famine, because they were overly dependent on foreign aid packages: North Korea (South Korea is industrially richer, but North Korea has richer farmland areas. If the two Koreas ever united it would bring a blessing for both, because the technology of S. Korea could be used to facillitate the cultivation of the North's farmlands). Concentration camps affected the others: Bosnia-Hezergovina, & ethnic Albanians in Serbia. Still others experienced social unrest, and societal aberrations: The Soviet Union's breakup into the C.I.S. and the Russian Federation (Albeit, Russia is currently experiencing an economic boom, due to hopes of increased revenue from oil sales, and miniscule investment by some Western companies).
West Nile Virus carrying mosquitos, killer bees in southern California, shrimp like creatures eating the wooden columns on the FDR drive (Which threatens to collapse the structure thousands of cars cross daily), plague causing ticks ? When I was young I wanted to be a Veterinarian....I love animals. I wished I followed my dream. Revelation 6 says some people will be killed "with the beast of earth". During the creation period God imposed a supernatural fear in animals towards mankind. Genesis 1:26. After the flood, and during Noah's time, again, the Lord reimposed the fear after the flood. Genesis 9:1-2. We should bear in mind God can control animal life, and sometimes used them for righteous correction or judgement. Don't believe me ? Ask Jonah 1:17, 2:1-10. When the Israelites continued to murmer against God He sent serpents to bite, and kill some of them. 1 Corinthians 10:9. In order to extirpate the Canaanites from occupying what is today Palestine the Lord sent hornets. Exodus 23:28. And when the ancient Assyrians, Babylonians, and others dwelt in Samaria, and did not know how to worship the Lord properly...the Lord was angry, and sent in lions to slay some of them. 2 Kings 17:25. Against Pharoah the Lord sent flies, lice, and frogs; and then there's the book of the prophet Joel chapter 1. Although this is true it should be noted that some (Although rare) animal activity can be coerced by demons. Luke 8:26-39. There are some who believe the "beast" of Revelation 6 may mean nefarious regimes, but I doubt this seriously: the remaining portion of the chapter is literal, not symbolic interpretations. Regardless, will there come a day when that restraint is removed ? Today, cougar (Mountain lion) attacks are also on the increase in certain parts of the United States leading to fatalities. While in Africa crocodile fatalities are becoming more of a problem. Nevertheless, I will state only two things about pestilence 1. With the exception of false religious teachings pestilence can become the by-product of the other horsemen. Pestilence is connected to "Death", and frequently follows war, famine, and wounds from animal attacks.
For example the creature that caused the greatest proportion of deaths in human history is the female mosquito. Yet, not because of it's own venom. Thus, because of deadly microbes injected, and released when they draw blood as far as the animal kingdom goes. The second thing I will say about pestilence is with the advent of biological weopons we now live in a world where terrifying creatures of the imagination are a terrifying reality. Some Mid-Eastern nations have thriving populations of Anthrax, Bubonic Plague, and other deadly microbes which can be placed in long range missiles (They donot necessarily possess the finess), and delivered into enemy territory. Nevertheless, the barbaric gallop that these horsemen have taken will grow in intensity: Like pernicious flames burning a pathway through the heart of human conscience, and shaking the very foundations of human society. They are slithering across the gateways of mercy to storm the world with cruelty; therefore, let us be drenched in the love of our great triune God to quench the fiery darts of our roaring adversary. Yes ! God is a merciful God filled with love for humanity. When the ancient Ninevites repented in fasting and mourning the Lord turned away from punishing them. The Word "Jesus" means "To Save" or "He will save His people". Should this be taken lightly ? The kingdom of God is laid out in chapters 21 and 22. The alternative for disobedient Christianity is to be navigated by the blinding effects of the first horseman into the 7 year period known as Great Tribulation: Revelation 6:11; 12:13-17. After, they have been punished they will be saved, but not near the heights of obedient christians whom were raptured. As for those whom refuse to accept God's authority: The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23. This passage refers to the second death burning in a lake of fire. That's if your name is not written in God's book of life. satan was the first rebel in universal history, and God does not want another satan.
Today, one of the most dangerous things that could possibly have happened has already occured: Israel has withdrawn from southern Lebanon in the name of peace (not to mention pressure from the Hezbollah). As she continues to withdraw from Arab territory at American pressure, she becomes more vulnerable to an Arab chemical weopon attack. Arab radar facillities now have a greater surveillance range on her airfields, and with the speed of today's jet fighters a shorter responce time to combat the threat is likely. Israel is the most dense country in the world with 8 million occupants, and little land availability to accomoate evryone comfortably. If war comes Israel may be forced to go nuclear. There is another Bible prophecy that addresses that topic......stay tuned.
*In all fairness an American $60 billion dollar anti-missile defensive system is under construction to be built, and stationed on the Aleutian islands as a deterrent to what is said to be potential N. Korean, Iranian, Iraqi, or other Third World threats to America.
Scriptures:
Are We In The Last Days ? You Decide
YE MAY BE MINDFUL OF THE WORDS WHICH WERE SPOKEN BEFORE BY THE HOLY PROPHETS, AND OF COMMANDMENT OF US THE APOSTLES OF THE LORD AND SAVIOR: KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT THERE SHALL COME IN THE LAST DAYS SCOFFERS, WALKING AFTER THEIR OWN LUST, AND SAYING, WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING ? FOR SINCE OUR FATHERS FELL ASLEEP, ALL THINGS CONTINUE AS THEY WERE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION. FOR THIS THEY WERE WILLINGLY IGNORANT OF, THAT BY THE WORD OF GOD THE HEAVENS WERE OLD, AND THE EARTH STANDING OUT OF THE WATER AND IN THE WATER: WHEREBY THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS PERISHED: BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW, BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN....THIS ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME. FOR MEN SHALL BE BOASTERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES, COVETOUS, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, TRUCE BREAKERS, FALSE ACCUSERS, INCONTINENT, FIERCE, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD. TRAITORS, HEADY, HIGHMINDED, LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD: HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. FOR OF THIS SORT ARE THEY WHICH CREEP INTO HOUSES, AND LEAD CAPTIVE SILLY WOMEN LADEN WITH SINS, LED AWAY WITH DIVERS LUST. EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
2 PETER 3:2-7 AND 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-7
