Endtime Scriptures (Tribulation)

Daniel

7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Rome)

7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

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:)

24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Revelation

13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 17 & 18 with Footnotes

(Revelation Chapter 17)

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (This may be applicable to Rome of the past, and perhaps to a certain extent, of the present. But how much more so to America, and its spiritual and financial captial, New York!)

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. (For those unfamiliar with this subject: the "Beast" here represents the coming Worldleader known as the Antichrist, who will establish the seventh and last global world empire, which will be the culmination and ultimate version of the 6 former ones: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome.)

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

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

(In my opinion, this is partly referring to the martyrs the American planners and instigators of such gigantic coups as for example the Russian Revolution already have on their conscience, which alone far outnumber the victims of Rome. But from all we can see, the 20th Century was only the beginning of sorrows. I'm certain we will see many "Wacos" in the near future! Who do you think is the Devil's primary target in all this "War on Terror" hype?)

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. (The 10 horns, by the way, as explained later, represent "10 Kings which shall receive power for one hour with the Beast," who will hate the Whore and have power to destroy her with fire. Most people currently speculate the European Community to represent them. See 17:12-17)

... And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. (Note here that it says "mountains," not "hills." Hunt and others interpret this as the 7 hills of Rome, but is actually referring to the 7 global world empires from Egypt to the new World Order.)

And there are seven kings: five are fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and Greece), and one is (Rome, since that's the time this book was written, around 90 AD), and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (The final world order of the Antichrist, which will last 7 years in total, the latter half of which will constitute the Great Tribulation, since the Antichrist will obviously look like quite a nice chap and like the savior of the world during the first half of his reign.)

... And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb (Christ), and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. (Rev.17:12-17)

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Rome? Hardly, in this present day and age. Who dictates what is to be considered politically correct? Where do the United Nations sit? Or the financiers of the great world religion of Evolution and Materialism, who make the rules that run our lives, from the youngest to the oldest? Not to mention the CFR, seated in N.Y., the club that's planning today which country they're going to invade and ruin for some "just cause" tomorrow. The Catholic Church could only dream of such power!)

(Chapter 18)

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. (While both Rome and ancient Babylon may have had this sort of influence in their days, one has to remember that this is a prophecy about the Endtime, the period of the last World Empire and the reign of the Antichrist. This is a prophecy about today. And certainly the influence of the US through its media, as well as politically, culturally and economically, has a far greater impact on "all nations" than the present day city of Rome!)

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. (If you're smart, that's what you'll do!)

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God Who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city!

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, (Why should seafaring folk bewail Rome, which doesn't even have a harbor?)

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; (Where does the music come from that you hear in radios and on TVs in practically every nation of the world? Certainly not from Italy!)

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (The Illuminati novel "Atlas Shrugged" ends with the words, “When the Lights of New York City go out for the last time, we will have the World.” And apparently, there will be no more churches, and no more preaching happening there, anymore, either, which is a form of "Christianity" that's quite far from what Jesus lived, actually.)

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

(This seems to be hard to believe, but only if you discover where the wars that have killed countless millions have been master-minded for the past few centuries, the true history of the USA that some books tell the bloody story of.)

Selected Scriptures About the Pharisees:

Mt.5:20 You've got to be better than those who are think they are good, if you want to go to Heaven.

Mt.12:14 (It was the Pharisees who were responsible for Jesus' death, not the Romans, nor the publicans and sinners, prostitutes and adulterers!);

Mt.12:34 When the Pharisees accuse Jesus of casting out demons through the Devil's power, He winds up calling them a "generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?"

Mt.12:39 He also calls them an "evil and adulterous generation." Funny, because it was usually the Pharisees that point their fingers at adulterers (as they still do!). What is Jesus trying to tell these people? Perhaps the same thing Paul was trying to tell them in Romans 2:1, that they become guilty of the same things they judge others of? Maybe the spiritual adultery they commit with the gods of this world (materialism, power and prestige) and with the spirits of the Devil (pride, self-righteousness, etc.) are much worse in God's eyes than the mere "sins" of the flesh?

Mt.15:3 Here Jesus replies to their accusation of having broken one of the formalities of Jewish law by asking them, "Why do you break the law of God by your tradition?" What IS the law of God? In Mt.22:36-40 Jesus makes it plain that the law of God is LOVE, and all the other little laws are fulfilled in that one. In other words, the traditions of both Scribes and Pharisees of yesterday and of their self-righteous followers of today are breaking God's true law!

Mt.15:5 He goes on to say that they are making the law of God of none effect by their traditions. Why is it that you find anything but love in those churches? (John 13:35).

Mt.15:8 They're always praising God with their lips in their church services, but then treat their fellow humans with the very self-righteousness of the Devil, oblivious to the fact that they are putting God at the same distance from their heart to which they exiled that sinner they judge.

Mt.15:9 Such worship is empty and vain in God's eyes. They're replacing God's law of Love with their own man-made rules: "Thou shalt not this and thou shalt not that, and thou shalt not the other," instead of "Thou shalt love!"

Mt.15:14 They're blind guides (thinking they see - John 9:41), destined for a hard landing.

Mt.16:6 Beware of the leaven of Self-righteousness!

Mt.21:23-46 Jesus responds to their questioning His authority by a parable in which he exposes their plan to kill Him and announces that the Kingdom will be torn away from them and given to a nation that would bring forth the fruits of the Kingdom. Instead of self-righteously judging lonely people, they ought to win their souls to Christ and bring forth fruit for the Kingdom, instead of chasing them in the other direction!

Mt.23 - A whole chapter full of advice from Jesus to both His disciples and the multitudes about the Pharisees, which He probably knew were going to be around for as long as the Devil himself:

verse 3: You can listen to their sermons, but don't follow their sample! They don't practice what they preach!

Verse 4: they burden you with rules that they wouldn't even think of keeping themselves.

Verse 13: Woe unto you Pharisees! You won't allow others to go to Heaven, and you won't go there yourselves!

Verse 14-16: Woe! Woe! Woe!

Verse 23: Woe unto you: Keeping your little traditions, you have omitted the weightier things of the law: (true) judgment, mercy and faith!

Verse 25: Woe unto the hypocrites! All clean on the outside (pretence) and all filthy on the inside (in God's eyes)!

Verse 28: Appearing righteous, they're really full of hypocrisy and sin.

Verse 33: Doesn't look like they're going where we're going.

Verse 34: The Pharisees ceased to exist after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, only 40 years after Jesus said this. So, who is He talking to? Who are the prophets and wise men and wiriters they keep persecuting?

John 8:15-59 Probably the most remarkable conversation between Jesus and the Pharisees recorded in the Bible, during which He plainly tells them, "Ye are of your father, the Devil," which causes them to try to stone him.

John 9 - A chapter describing the pitiful dilemma with the Pharisees: no matter what good you will do, they will never recognize it unless you play the game according to their rules, the only standard they accept is their own, and the only world they see is their own. According to Jesus, they see nothing at all.

John 11:53 They kill the love, they kill God's gift of love, they kill...

Acts 7:51-58 ... and kill again. The story continues.


Nowadays they may not kill the prophets physically (they probably would, if they could, as the inquisitors and other Christian rulers have done for centuries), but they still spread death through their false doctrines of "eternal insecurity" and fear, that one might lose their Salvation, if they're not good enough.

And, of course, they can legally exterminate tens of thousands of people who dare to believe otherwise through their practical little instrument called war. Just elect a warmonger for president, and you'll have those God-darn heathen taken care of big-time.


"Here I am, an empty hallway

Broken windows, rainy nights

I am 1962 and I am ready for a fight

People crying 'Hallelujah!'

while the bullet leaves the gun

People falling, falling, falling

and I don't know where they're falling from."

(Jann Arden, "Unloved")
