Few prophecies have perplexed and fascinated readers of the Bible quite like the Beast described in the book of Revelation. The Beast is presented as a terrifying amalgamation of animal parts-the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion, seven heads, 10 horns-rising up out of the sea and empowered by a dragon to rule the world.
On this episode of Life, Hope & Truth Presents, Joel Meeker asks the difficult question: Who (or what) is the Beast of Revelation?

Thank you, Life, Hope & Truth for these powerful Biblical truths that many people either misunderstand (and that's the generous theory) or purposefully twist to suit their own evil desires. Take care, have a wonderful Sabbath Day (when it rolls around in about 1.5-2 days) and God bless you all!

Thank you for your expositional assessment of (Revelation chp.13). As I listened I was surprised where you began to list the "Beast's" prophetically. "Cutting straight the word of the truth" here reveals a difference from your presentation. Chapter 17 of (Revelation) speaks to this concept. Verse's ( 8~11) of this chp. reveals there are 8 "Beast's/Kingdom's." These would be; #1.- Egypt, # 2.- Assyria, # 3.- Babylon, # 4.- Medo/Persian, # 5.- Greece, # 6.- Roman, # 7.- Nazi Germany, #8.- A revived resurrected European/NATO Alliance. The "Beast" that was of the seven who's deadly wound to the head was healed.

I believe the Beast can be known by matching the prophecy of Daniel with Revelation.. Therefore let us begin by looking at what Revelation tell us : "8The beast that you saw-it was, and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction." The Beast is said to come up out of the Abyss.. And in Daniel he is the little horn that will rise up from the earth to the host of heaven, i quote : Daniel 8 : 9-10 "9From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land. 10It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them." And as the little horn that rises up as high as heaven, the term insolent king is used to describe him later, i quote : Daniel 8 : 23 "23In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne" An image reminiscent of Nimrod's will to rise to the heaven using the tower of Babel to do so.. Also notice the king is skilled in intrigue.. The Earth in the book of Revelation symbolizes the bottomless pit from the standpoint of John who saw all these prophecies unfolding from heaven or the sky.. Thus the Beast that rises from the Earth is the little horn of Daniel. And he is described in Revelation 11 : Revelation 11 : 7 "7When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them." Who is the Beast who comes up out from the Abyss (?) The answer is in Revelation 9, i quote : Revelation 9 : 11 "11They were ruled by a king, the angel of the ABYSS. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon." This Beast, Insolent King described in Daniel is the king of the Abyss, Abaddon. The abyss is also an image for the pit from which Satan emerged after being unchained : Revelation 9 : 1 "1Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key TO THE PIT OF THE ABYSS." Revelation 20 : 1-3 "1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the ABYSS, holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and SATAN, and BOUND him for a thousand years. 3And he threw him INTO THE ABYSS, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete." The topic of the pit is conflated as the abyss or the bottomless pit here.. Therefore Satan is Abaddon who is the Beast also.. And in Daniel 8, he is the little horn that rises from other horns.. These horns are spoken about in Revelation when describing the Dragon who is Satan as well as the Beast, i quote : Revelation 12 : 3 "3Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads." Revelation 13 : 1 "1Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads" Notice that what distinguish the Dragon from the Beast are the royal crowns. The Dragon possess 7 horns with 7 royal crowns while the Beast possess 10 horns with 10 royal crowns. The meaning as to these horns with the royal crowns is explained further in Revelation 17, i quote : Revelation 17 : 9-10 "9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while." The 7 heads with the royal crowns of the dragon/woman are 7 kings.. In fact the dragon crowns are the julio-claudian roman emperors.. Revelation 17 : 12 "12The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast." The beast crowns are the 10 kings that came after the fall of the western roman empire.. A statement confirmed in Revelation 17 when the Beast will destroy the prostitute who is the dragon previous system, i quote : "16And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire." Dragon crowns = emperors Beast crowns = kings or kingdoms History also shows that the Western Roman Empire was divided into 10 separate kingdoms : Alemanni, Franks, Burgundians, Suevi, Vandals, Visigoths, Anglo-Saxons, Ostrogoths, Lombards, and the Heruli. Thus these 10 kingdoms are the 10 horns of the dragon-beast of Revelation.. Let us resume all the elements we know so far.. The beast : - comes out of the abyss in Rev 11-17 - is the little horn of Daniel 8 - is the insolent king of Daniel 8 - has 7 heads like the dragon Rev 12-13 - is called Apollyon Revelation 17 tell us also that, i quote : Revelation 17 : 11 "11The beast that was, and now is not, is an eighth king, who belongs to the other seven and is going into destruction." Meaning the Beast was amongst the 7 julio-claudian roman emperor and will become a king after the fall of the roman empire (!) We can track the AC identity by knowing whose 10 kings who came at the fall of the western roman empire named himself after 'Apollyon'. And there is one king in particular that we should focus on : Theoderic the great.. Theoderic is said to be : - King of the Ostro'goths' - as the historical teuton Theoderic bores the name of the Gaulish Apollo - the first incription of the name theoderic is found in a roman era inscription : Apollini Tovtiorigi = Apollo Teutorix - Theoderic names cognates with the english form T(er)ry = Tr(o)y. Now let us compare this list to this one.. Odoacer : - King of the 'Goths' - Barbarian from the river 'Danube' - Killed Romulus Augustulus - Deposed the western roman empire And this one.. Priam : - Last King of Troy and the Franks - Once sailed from Troy to the river 'Don' and then on Pannonia, which is on the river 'Danube' with 12000 soldiers.. - killed by the Romans - witness the end of Troy Odoacer the king of the Goths is said to have deposed the western roman child emperor Romulus Augustulus and the western roman empire with it.. Romulus Augustulus is certainly like one of the twin brothers of the founding tale of Rome except in Rome founding myth it was Remus who got killed by Romulus and not the reverse.. Could it be that after being wounded or 'killed', the legendary king Priam resurrected as Odoacer who as the king of the Goths is also the king of the Ostro(Goths) Teutorix Apollo aka the Beast Apollyon (?).. Notice also the presence of '2' of these king(s) on the river Danube. Could it be that they were the same as the father of Dan ? Since the word Danube and Don are obviously forms of the word 'Dan'.. Odoacer is said to be king of the Ruthenians and in a norse myth Odin(the father of Dan aka PoseIDON the greek god of the sea)as Othinus is said to have encounter the king of the Ruthenians to sire a son through his daughter Rinda.. A last thing, through Priam semi mythical figure we can guess that the prostitute aka the scarlet woman of Revelation 17 could be a mythical being as well.. I suggest that she is the founder of Rome the She-Wolf who had nourished Romulus and Remus in the founding of Rome myth.. It is therefore obvious that the Beast is a divinity and that the prostitute also is a divinity, the Beast is as the she-wolf who may be the mother of Apollo-Abaddon or his wife.. I suggest she is Hera because in a greek myth it is said that at one time Hera rebelled against Zeus with the other Gods/Goddesses and binded him by drugging him. This myth of Zeus being drugged is like this story in Genesis where it is actually Noah who has gotten drugged by his son 'Cham' in Genesis 9.. I may add that the dragon may be a mythical creature such as the serpent Python. Satan would therefore be Typhon the greek father of monsters and behind Typhon entry we could actually see the gods and goddesses rebellion under Hera influence.. בֶּ֙רַע֙

Pharaoh, if you keep your focus on all of the clues in Revelation, you will come to the true identity of Antichrist. It's there for all to see. I've been there just like you, following after a false lead that looked so wise and so good, but false, nevertheless. Keep studying.

The Bible interprets itself if we let the Holy Spirit guide us and give us Wisdom. There is no reason to speculate . By using the only Biblical study method, the historicist , " line upon line, " and the other Biblical study principles we can conclude that the "Beast" is exactly what the Bible through millennia has prophesied will be. Here are 13 BIBLICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ANTICHRIST a.k.a The Beast. 1. BLASPHEMY= forgiving sin and making oneself like God "And it was given mouth to speak great words and blasphemies, and there it was given power to operate for forty-two months" Rev. 13.5 "He who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God and sanctuary, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God and pretends himself to be God." 2 Thessalonians 2:4 "... scarlet beast, which was full of blasphemous names;" Rev.. 17.3 2. 666 "It's all about wisdom here. Let he who has Wisdom calculate the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666." Rev.. 13:18 3. CHANGING THE LAW 4. "And speak against the Most High and mistreat the saints of the Most High; He shall set out to change times and law, and they shall be given into his hand one time and two times and a half time." Daniel 7.25 5. CHANGE TIME "And speak against the Most High and mistreat the saints of the Most High; He shall set out to change times and law, and they shall be given into his hand one time and two times and a half time." Daniel 7.25 6. Power that reigns for 1260 years - 1 Time, 2 Times and 1/2Time = 42 months. - 1 year = 360 days (The Bible uses the Jewish calendar) - 3.5 x 360 = 1260 days. 1 year = today in prophecies, i.e. = 1260 years) Note that this period is predicted 7 times: Dan. 7:25, 12:7, Rev. 11:2, 11:3, 12:6, 12:14, Rev.13:5 - The papacy had political power and ruled from 53 to 1798 7. LIVING BETWEEN 7 MOUNTAINS - Rev. 17:9, the 7 heads are the 7 mountains on which the woman sits. 8. ADORNED WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES. - "And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and shone with gold and precious stones and pearls, and in her hand she had a cup of gold full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication." REV.. 5:4 PM 9. COLORS PURPLE AND RED - Rev.. 17:4 10. After a reign of 1260 years, it is wounded but regains its power (1929) and the whole world follows in wonder. Even the elect can be misled. - "And I saw that one of its heads was as if wounded to death, but its death blow was shed. And the whole kingdom of the earth followed the beast in wonder." Rev.. 13.3 - "Let no one mislead you in any way. First must the apostasy come, and the man of lawlessness, the son of perdition, is revealed, he who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God and sanctuary, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God and pretends himself to be God." 2 Tess. 2:3-5 - "Behold, I have told you before. for false Christs and false prophets shall appear, and they shall do great signs and wonders to lead even the elect astray, if possible." Matthew 24:24-25 11. Ally with the United States, after which its power will spread throughout the world. - "And I saw A BEAST rise out of the sea; It had ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten crowns, and on its heads blasphemous names." Rev.. 13.1 - "And it said to me, 'The waters on which you have seen the woman sitting are people and multitudes, nations and tongues.' Rev.. 17:15 (pope of the Holly See) - "I saw another BEAST come out of the ground; It had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. And it exercises before its eyes the whole power of the first animal, and causes the earth and all those who dwell upon it to worship the first animal whose death blow was shed." Rev.. 1:12 pm - USA: Beasts = rich, appears after the death death of the 1st beast (late 17th century) - Earth = A sparsely populated area, - no crowns mentioned = republic - Like a lamb = Christian land - change = speech like dragon - wielding the power of the first animal and making the world follow; 12. Persecuting Power of God's People - "... and mistreat the saints of the Most High;" Daniel 7:25 - "And it was given the power to... let everyone kill who would not worship the image of the beast." Rev.. 13:15 - "And I saw the woman intoxicated with the blood of the saints, with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus... Rev.. 5:6 pm - 13. Will gain political, religious and eventually military world domination. - "It causes all, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to put a mark on their right hand or their forehead, so that no one can buy or sell except the one who bears this mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name." Rev.. 1:16,17 pm - "You must have it as a sign on your hand, and as a mark of remembrance on your forehead, that the law of the Lord may be on your lips; Exodus 13:9 - "These commandments which I impose on you today, take you to heart; and you must impress upon your children them and talk about them, both when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, both when you lie down and when you get up; You shall bind them as a sign about your hand, they shall be like a mark of remembrance on your forehead." Deuteronomy. 6:8 - "Here perseverance is required of the saints, those who hold fast to God's commandments and faith in Jesus." Rev.. 2:12 pm

When I hear people start off reading the book of revelation literally, I instantly know they are pre-trib believers. How do I know this? Because it's impossible to understand revelation if you read it literally, and or believe in a pre-trib rapture. To prove this, in the opening statement. You said there will be TWO people spewing fire out of their mouths. (Rev11:5) NO ONE will be walking around shooting LITERAL FIRE out of their mouths. This is what the word FIRE means. Jer 5:14/ 23:29. There is only ONE WAY to study Gods word. Isa 28:10. Yours in Christ

I'm post-trib, and have been for about 40 years now. As for fire coming out of their mouths to destroy their enemies and plaguing the earth (both of which come out of their mouths) is reminiscent of Moses and Elijah, which represent the law and the prophets -- "MY" two witnesses, for they bore witness to Christ. Both the plagues of Moses and the fire of Elijah came forth from their mouths -- they spoke it. That's all it means. It was written as an allusion to the two witnesses being Moses and Elijah, or in their spirit. I don't know any pre-tribs (all my churches have been pre-trib -- I don't know of any post-trib churches in my area close to me) who claim fire really comes out of their mouths, unless it was Tim LaHaye, since his fictitious "Left Behind" movie, unfortunately, portrayed the 2 in that manner. The false prophet, by his mouth, "calls" down fire from heaven after their deaths. The mimicry is similar to that of Jannes and Jambres against Moses. Although I am post-trib, and can expertly defend my position with scripture (I know both sides equally well), I make it a point not to rub my pre-trib brethren's noses in it, nor besmirch their intelligence, nor make mockery of them. Do all things to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave His "holy" life as the sacrifice for all our sins, and who is the same Lord over pre-tribs and post-tribs. Seek peace, edification, unity of the faith, and love of the "brothers" of Christ, and we will do well. God bless you.

In Revelation the beast has 7 heads. Chapter 17:10 says of these heads of the beast And there are seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet arrived; but when he does arrive, he must remain a short while. 11 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also an eighth king, but it springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction. Who are the five that had fallen Egypt Assyria Babylon Medo-Persia Greece. One is Rome but the other was in the future the Anglo-American world power The eighth king was but is not yet will come back Who is this? The 8th king starts off as the League of Nations then it is disbanded but comes back as the United Nations. So the beast is political standing in the way of Gods Kingdom. When Daniel interpreted the dream of Nebuchadnezzar he described the March of world powers in a different way. The head of gold was Babylon the e silver medo-Persia the bronze Greece the legs of iron Rome and the feet of iron and clay Anglo-America. Verse 44 shows that when the feet and the clay are ruling God sets up the Kingdom in the heavens ready now to destroy all kingdoms across the earth. 44 says In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.

Outstanding expository here. For myself as a Biblical expositor I find little difference between our view's. I differ W/U on the 7th & the 8th king's. I'll share my findings and then will give my reasoning. The 7th that remains a short space I believe to "Nazi-Germany," and the 8th the revived/resurrected Nazi like European/NATO empire. The "goat" of (Daniel chp.8 ) Hitler did receive the deadly head wound and it will be healed as this "beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth" rises. Exposition for my proposed concept. In ( Daniel chp. 8:4~5 ) the "ram from the east represents Iran/Islam." The "he goat from the west" represents Europe." This is a "supernatural beast" which is revealed by it's moving without touching the earth. In Daniels day to look east for a major superpower this would have been "Europe. In the final embodiment we see under this concept a united "European/NATO alliance" in the fulness of the "beast of Revelation 13:1~10" If you are of the mind to reply I enjoy sharpening iron" with you. Again thanks and again great expository.

@@endoftheagereality Thank you for your reply. I will just answer your thoughts on Daniel 8 The ram standing before the watercourse stands for the medo Persian empire and the goat the king of Greece Alexander the Great The Goat cannot represent Iran because Dan 8:20 tells you who it represents. It reads The two-horned ram that you saw stands for the kings of Meʹdi·a and Persia. 21 The hairy male goat stands for the king of Greece. Daniel 11:4 reads But when he has stood up, his kingdom will be broken and be divided toward the four winds of the heavens, but not to his descendants and not like the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be uprooted and go to others besides these. CONCERNING the kingdom of Alexander the Great, the Bible foretold a breakup and a division “but not to his posterity.” (Daniel 11:3, 4) Accordingly, within 14 years after Alexander’s sudden death in 323 B.C.E., his legitimate son Alexander IV and his illegitimate son Heracles were assassinated. By the year 301 B.C.E., four of Alexander’s generals established themselves in power over the vast empire their commander had built. General Cassander took control of Macedonia and Greece. General Lysimachus received Asia Minor and Thrace. To Seleucus I Nicator went Mesopotamia and Syria. And Ptolemy Lagus, or Ptolemy I, ruled Egypt and Palestine. From Alexander’s one great kingdom thus arose four Hellenistic, or Grecian, kingdoms.

Let's say you are correct, that the 6th head is the Beast, the ancient Roman Empire. Revelation 17:8 says, "The Beast that you saw WAS, and IS NOT; and SHALL ASCEND out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition. And verse 11 says, "And the Beast that WAS, and IS NOT, even he is the eighth, and is OF the seven, and goes to perdition." If the 6th "kingdom" is the Beast, how can it be "was", and "is not", at the same time? Daniel made it clear that there would be only four kingdoms, not seven. And he made it clear that the 4th kingdom has two phases, the iron legs, and the ten toes of iron and clay, both of which are under the rulership of Rome, the blasphemous "ETERNAL" city. Egypt is not included because she did not "conquer" the "nation" of Israel and her capitol, Jerusalem. Jacob and his family, the family of Joseph, were welcomed by Pharaoh during the seven years of famine, who gave them the choice land of Goshen as their continual residence. It was hundreds of years later that the Egyptians began treating them as slaves. Assyria, on the other hand, conquered the northern ten tribes, but not Jerusalem. The times of the Gentiles began with Babylon, for the trodding of Jerusalem underfoot began with them. And Revelation chapter 13 reflects all four empires in the composite "body" of the Beast: the mouth of a lion, feet of a bear, and body of a leopard, which comprise the revived Roman Empire. So, it is within the body of the Beast Kingdom that we find representation of "kingdoms", not in the 7 heads. The last verse of chapter 17 specifically states the identity of the Great Harlot, "And the woman whom you saw IS (present tense) that great city, which REIGNS (present tense, in 96 AD when this was written) over the kings of the earth." Further confirmation is chapter 18. The merchants of the earth, who were made rich by their sales to her, bewail Babylon's fall while delineating the "luxury" merchandise that the aristocracy of Rome purchased from them, which aligns perfectly with the merchandise that ancient Rome did indeed purchase in great quantities (any historian would agree). Merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, FINE LINEN, and PURPLE, and SILK, and SCARLET, and all THYINE WOOD, and all manner vessels of IVORY, and all manner vessels of MOST PRECIOUS WOOD, and of brass, and iron, and MARBLE (it was said of Augusts, that he found Rome a city of wood and left it a city of MARBLE), and CINNAMON (emperors would sometimes pay their soldiers with bags of this highly prized spice), and odours, and ointments, and FRANKINCENSE, and WINE, and sheep, and HORSES, and CHARIOTS, and SLAVES, and SOULS OF MEN." And a voice told the "apostles" to "Rejoice over her...for God has avenged you on her." The Great Harlot of the last days is the same Great Harlot that first martyred the apostles and their disciples, Rome. The seven heads are exactly what the angel told John they were, seven literal kings (emperors of Rome), just like the seven golden candlesticks were exactly what Jesus said they were, seven churches.

Frankly, it's both in and on. People today glory in their tattoos and want everybody to see them. When they receive and worship Antichrist as their only God, they will want his name or number to be proudly displayed on their right hand or forehead to show how loyal they are to his Lowness. Remember who we're dealing with here in Revelation. A world populace whose minds and hearts have been overtaken, not by the Spirit of God, but by the "spirit" of Antichrist and apostacy. According to 2 Thes. 2:11, 12, God sends "strong delusion" (the apostacy by the spirit of Antichrist) to the lost who refused to receive the love of the truth (the gospel), so they may be da---ed. The tribulation is the final 7 years of "famine" of the word and Spirit of God. God withdraws the "work" of the Spirit that He was sent to do on the day of Pentecost. No more conviction of sin and of righteousness, and of judgment. We see its effect in Rev. 9, where not a soul on the entire planet repents and gets saved during the five months of torment by the demonic locusts, nor afterward. All the lost on the planet will hate the Church, Christians, Christianity, the Bible, Jesus, and all that God stands for, and will seek to eradicate their kingdom (the NWO) of anyone and anything that pertains to God and Christianity (including all ancient manuscripts, all real Bibles, all commentaries, books, videos, movies, jewelry, crosses, Christian headstones at cemeteries, etc.), so they can have their own "new heavens and new earth." The eradication of Christianity in the tribulation will be like when ISIS tore down ancient monuments and other things in Iraq, while trying to create a total Islamic state.

Rome is not the wicked city found in the passage below. Contrast it to the city in Rev. 3:12. See also Heb. 11:13-16, and Heb. 12:18-24. Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many Christians cannot honestly answer the first three questions below? Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24. God is not now a “racist”. He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son’s blood at Calvary.

(The 1st Beast is Judas Sicariotes. The 2d Beast is Simon Zelotes. The 1st Dragon is Joazar Boethos, & the 2d one is Caiaphas.) Here is the pesher of Rev. 13:1-7. (1) On Tuesday, March 12, 26AD, as a Gentile initiate at the age of 23, I (James Niceta) saw Judas Sicariotes as a bishop, going up the steps to the platform, the head of the party which kept the uncircumcised down at Grade 10. He gave initiations at Grade 7 to proselytes. The uncircumcised were not admitted to the celibate congregation. The letters on his headband showed that he was a zealot. (2) I saw Judas appointed as 'Leopard', the general for the campaign to Ethiopians, planned for 26 AD. He had a collection vessel for Roman tribute, and the tetrarch Antipas was an alternate leader. Antipas gave Herodian teaching, and so also did Agrippa, who had returned. Caiaphas appointed Agrippa as his deputy. But Caiaphas as High Priest was ruler of the people. He gave village initiations. (3) John the Baptist acted as leader of ascetics beside Caiaphas, and was threatened with excommunication by Simon Magus. Simon was excluded for a season, then was restored under the rules of the Therapeuts. In 29 AD, when the calendR changed to the Night position. Agrippa was accepted as the Herod successor, with the financial support of Judas. (4) Judas paid the Roman tribute money to Caiaphas. Caiaphas gave Judas the power to initiate. Then Judas kept the tribute money himself, to be used for zealotry, and said, "Agrippa is the servant of Judas." Then Agrippa turned against Judas in the council. (5) Theudas, a teacher, took the place of Judas. He became a zealot. Following Judas death, he was given the right to initiate on March 1, 34AD, the south-solar generation year. (6) Theudas became the leader of the Zealot Hebrews party, opposing Jonathon Annas whomwas rhe leader of the peace party. Jonathon moved with the Hellenists to,Caesarea, where the 'Tabernacle' &,'Heaven' came together again, as they had once been at Qumran, & Jonathon was supported by the peace party ro become rhe next High Priest. (7) At thr council on. Friday, March 19, 34AD, Jonathon Annas opposed James, the brother of Jesus. He removed James as Crown Prince to Jesus. Jonathon was supported by the 4 kinds of uncircumcised Gentiles, their Nazarites led by Herod of Chalcis, to whom Gentile fees were now paid. Barnabas-Joses, the next brother of Jesus, was now his Crown Prince in place of Jesus, & superior of John Mark. Peter was head of Diaspora Gentiles. Luke was the head of Roman Gentiles.

a very clear fulfillment of prophecy in our recent history. We (U.S.A.) are the ones who brought down fire from heaven in Aug. of 1945 and we are the ones that gave life to the image of the beast in May of 1948. Rev 13:13-15 (KJV). The prophecy, 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, Rev 13:13 (KJV) The fulfillment, The United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945, respectively. “In the sight of men”, means this was done on the world stage during WWII (the second “woe”). The prophecy, 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, …Rev 13:15 (KJV) The fulfillment, On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day. This was done using the power and prestige the U.S. earned by the act of bringing fire down from the heaven (sky). It is said that God will bless those who bless Israel, and this is true, but the following verses show us that the “Israel in the middle east is false” and is not to be blessed. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is PARTAKER of his EVIL DEEDS. 2 John 1:9-11 (KJV) AND 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Romans 8:9 (KJV) You can’t have it both ways, 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8 (KJV) 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Matt 21:43-44 (KJV) And 15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: Isaiah 65:15 (KJV). The second beast of lies, saying “one nation under God” and “in God we trust”, indeed the “father of lies”, did bring fire from the heaven, (Greek Strong's Number: 3772...(through the idea of elevation); the SKY...), and did set up a false Israel in the middle east, (proven false by this verse among others 9 ...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, HE IS NONE OF HIS. Romans 8:9 (KJV)). This Israel has been and is the catalyst of “wars and rumors of wars” making it the image of the first beast of warmongering , Germany, who’s head was wounded in WWI(1st harvest, woe) and healed enough to bring about WWII(2nd harvest, woe). You couldn’t get a better fulfillment of prophecy. For these events to happen again would negate the prophecies altogether. And it is asinine to think these events are happenstance and ignored by the prophecies of God. No sir, either God’s timing is off or yours is. And this leaves only one “woe”(WWIII) left, the war that God hates (abomination), a war that makes the world desolate. 7th trump and bowl are simultaneous and plunge the world into 3½ yrs of great tribulation. If the truth were being told then the prophecy of Matt. 24:14 would have occurred years ago, shortly after the advent of the world-wide-web. This fact proves that the prominent teachers are false teachers. I suggest you forget all that you have been taught and come to the bible (KJV) with sincere want for truth, and not to consume it upon your lusts, but that you may do true worship and obedience to God, with a repentant heart, and with reason and logic the Spirit of God will teach.11 … in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 (KJV) All glory to God. Amen

Because Jesus is not here. There has never in history been a time when all life on earth was threatened with destruction, the great tribulation has not occurred and there have been times much worse in recent history than the times that you are thinking of. Christ did not return in 70 AD. YOU need to read the Bible and reevaluate what YOU believe.

@@justincase1919 here's another reason why we can tell that Jesus Christ is not here yet: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to ALL THE NATIONS, and THEN the end will come (Matthew 24:14)." What gospel? "Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, and BELIEVE in the gospel." (Mark 1:14-15)." That is the true gospel.
