Sequence of Endtime Events
SUMMARY
July 1,
2010
If the
founding apostles of the church believed they too were living in the
last days, proving the length of time it has taken to slowly change the
circumstances that led to the doorstep of our technological age, how
much more likely are we to be the generation that witnesses the return of Jesus
Christ? unfortunately, if endtime prophecy began to unfold today, people would
not be prepared to cope with the events that are prophesied to occur,
because the church has gathered doctrines around itself designed to help
them believe they don’t need to prepare. God wants us here during the
majority of the tribulation, because he has a part for us to play in the
greatest spiritual revival of all time that will assist in destroying
Satan’s kingdom.
I purposely
have never read a book about endtimes or personally studied the subject
in the Bible throughout my thirty years as a Christian. Instead, I have
concentrated on my relationship with Christ through the word of God and
prayer. When the time came to pursue the subject of endtimes, I balanced
my general knowledge of the Scriptures with an objective viewpoint on
the matter without being overshadowed by the biases of other people’s
ideas. My greatest strength as an objective writer of biblical studies
is to avoid reading into the Bible what I want it to say and simply let
the word of God speak for itself. There have been periods in my life
lasting years when I lived and breathed the contents of the Bible,
devoting every waking hour to rustling through its pages. My hope is
that more people will become enlightened to the fact that God is calling
them to help fulfill endtime prophecy by becoming members of a revival
bigger than all past revivals combined, by seeking a more spiritual
relationship with Jesus Christ through the word of God and prayer as the
day draws near.
Following
is a synopsis of each chapter.

CHAPTER
SYNOPSIS
Section
I – Revelation of Man
Inventors
of Culture – takes the reader on a fascinating trip through
history, starting around the time of Christ. It points out many of the
inventions that eventually became the foundation of the industrial
revolution, which founded the technological age of our present day. It
makes the point that without the innovations of our current
civilization, Bible prophecy could not be fulfilled, and suggests that
the technological age in which we are currently living is one of the
neon signs that God has given us that proves we are living in the last
days.
Apostasy
– is another historical journey taking the reader back to the birth of
Christianity and looks at its historical track record, noting how far
and how long man has strayed from the will of God, beginning almost
immediately after the early apostles fell asleep. It looks at the church
today and makes the point that if the writers of the Bible called their
own time “the last days” (2 Tim 3:1), stating that antichrists were
active in their own time (1 John 4:3), then how much more likely are we
to be living in the last days and how big a role is the spirit of
antichrist playing in our present society?
Evolution
of Culture – is an ambitious chapter that takes the reader
deep inside the DNA molecule of the human gene pool to explore the
mechanism of genetic adaptation that occurs outside our consent and
mostly without our input regarding how human civilization and its many
subcultures evolve. It makes the point that though we humans love to
control things, we ourselves are not in control of who we are becoming
as a society. It concludes that man is evolving in ways that are not
good and as of lately society is more and more assuming the traits of
psychopathy, which is another sign of the last days and of the
antichrist rising to power.
Section
II – Revelation of Satan
Rise
of the Antichrist – makes the suggestion that the ten toes
of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue in Daniel 2 represent the moneylenders that
have recently disabled the economy creating a very weak foundation for
Satan’s one world government. It meticulously pieces together the
books of Daniel and Revelation to form a meaningful and lucid scenario
of endtime events, naming the countries involved in this volatile world
climate they have created for the purpose of revealing their New World
Order. It depicts the nature of Satan and identifies the antichrist, his
false prophet, and describes the stormy relationship they have with each
other.
Kingdom
of the Antichrist – takes a closer look at these
moneylenders and what they have done to destroy our economy through
their greed, and asks why the Federal Reserve was hardly implicated in
the matter when they are in charge of our money supply. Then it links
their merging, global monetary system to the coming mark of the beast,
and uses his mark to positively identify a series of events that must
unfold in a logical procession in order to fulfill the prophecy of
Scripture. It also explains why Satan’s mark is a ticket to hell for
anyone who receives it, using the support from previous chapters to
strengthen the argument that the mark will dramatically increase the
traits of psychopathy in the world at a time when Bible prophecy is
being fulfilled.
Religion
of the Antichrist – There is a huge mountain of scriptural
evidence pointing to the pope as the antichrist through the eyes of
Revelation 17, showing a clear correspondence with Catholicism. However,
the doctrines of Catholicism alone cannot account for everything the
Bible says about Satan’s endtime religion, such as the blasphemous
names on the heads of the beast, which is not reminiscent of the
catholic faith at all. That sounds more like Judaism. Therefore, the
religion of antichrist will be a composite of Judaism with the Roman
Catholic Church, which supports the Scriptures that the antichrist will
create his own religion and will have close connections with Jerusalem.
Section
III – Revelation of Jesus Christ
The
Great Endtime Revival – The true church will boldly unite
as Satan is rising to power and presiding over mankind, and when he
tries to stop this Christian revival, he will find himself fighting
against God. Satan is very selfish and greedy. He can be in only one place at a time, so when the revival begins
in Jerusalem, Satan will leave the false prophet and migrate to the
Vatican, where he will possess the pope, who will then migrate to
Jerusalem and attempt to quell the revival, which will have its origins
with the 144,000 Jews. After he introduces his mark and starts martyring
Christians, the two witnesses will come to the rescue, while the church
flees into the wilderness. Then, once the two witnesses are killed and
ascend to heaven in the presence of their enemies, the long expected and
blessed Rapture will finally occur.
The
Rapture – The pre-tribulation rapture theory has done a lot
of harm in giving people false hope about escaping the distressful
circumstances of endtimes. My great fear for the church is that people
will miss God, just like the Jews missed Jesus when He came the first
time. The rapture will be delayed, according to Jesus own word (Matt
25:5), possibly later than many people within the church will be
prepared to wait for Him. As they run low on oil, they will prove
themselves to be the five foolish virgins, who represent half the
church. This chapter inventories a very specific sequence of biblical
events that must take place before and after the rapture in the same way
that the mark of the beast can predict events, based on the principles
of Scripture.
Fall
of Satan – The rapture will not occur until many Christians
are martyred, which will precipitate the judgment of God, who intends to
use His church as an opportunity for the world to repent of its unbelief
after witnessing many signs, wonders and miracles that God will perform
through His people in the last days. When the world refuses to repent,
He will then use His church to cement rebellion into the reprobate mind
through martyrdom, so the worshippers of the antichrist cannot repent.
In other words, God will use His church as a reason to end human
governments forever, because of the callousness of the human heart and
the martyrdom of His saints. At the same time that God is judging the
world through the church, Satan will be in the troughs of his own
self-destruction from a total lack of inner quality. Prince of
demons taking on human flesh will prove to be the worst time in human
history, but also prove to the devil a more difficult and
complicated endeavor than anticipated. Essentially the antichrist (Satan as the
pope), instead of glorifying his false prophet, will fall to his own
temptations of greed, lust and pride. The false prophet (the
moneylenders of the world) will become enraged with their antichrist and
destroy the Vatican out of jealousy, which is the very motive that Satan
used against Jesus. Jealousy hung Him on the cross, and this same
jealousy will prove to be Satan’s undoing and the root of his
self-destructive nature.
