Podcasts about tribulation

Did you know the word “hallelujah” is an Old Testament word, only used once (here in Revelation 19) in the New Testament? It means “praise the Lord”—reserved for final victory in battle. That's the right word to say here at the end of the Great Tribulation. We pause now and review the solemn path of the Tribulation in these last seven years.

People often ask when God will judge crooked politics and corporations. Today is the day for Babylon to be destroyed in the Tribulation. God said it would happen, and in a matter of one hour, the most influential metroplex on the planet is reduced to ashes—fit only for a place for demons to be imprisoned during the Millennium. This is an awesome win in this ongoing drama that sets up Christ's earthly kingdom. Don't doubt—God will deal with sin.

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on February 22, 2026) Today, we conclude this encouraging sermon by Elder John Morgan Owens about tribulations we experience in life. When we paused the sermon yesterday, Bro. Owens was telling us how the tribulations of life can work experience that helps us in subsequent tribulations. Join us today...

When the church was raptured, there was left behind on the earth the people who were religious but not saved. This false church became a political force to control the masses. Learn how this “harlot” as she is called (because she is not the bride of Christ) becomes used, abused, and finally eliminated in this ongoing drama of the Tribulation.

Pastor JD explains how and why Zechariah 13, though speaking of Israel at the end of the 7-year Tribulation, speaks to us specific to Jesus being the only fountain that will cleanse me of all my sins.

Jesus did not die for Himself, and He did not rise for Himself! Jim has given this message the provocative title, He's Alive - So What? "What does that mean to me?" as we're always asking. Well, a lot. Because the Lord's resurrection wasn't the only one of its kind, just the first of its kind. We might call it a prototype. The Apostles used phrases like, "firstborn among many brethren," and "firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." We're in Mark, chapter 16.

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on February 22, 2026) In this encouraging sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens teaches us about how we can face the tribulations of life. In the face of terrible troubles, children of God can nonetheless have the “peace that passeth all understanding.” The source of this peace is the truth...

As you know, our subject is the End Times. And I want to begin by asking a question, what are the End Times? And the biblical answer is this, the End Times represent a transition, a transition out of this world, that's a good thing, and into the kingdom of God. And when we look at Old Testament prophecy and New Testament prophecy, we find that God is very precise in promising us certain events that must take place in order that his kingdom is established.LOVEISAREL COPY /PASTETo donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

This episode explores the question: When did Satan fall from heaven? Looking at six key Bible passages—including Luke 10:18, John 12:31, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, and  Revelation 12, we examine different interpretations offered by Bible teachers and major commentaries. Some believe that Jesus' statement, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven,” refers to Satan's defeat at the Cross. Others see it as a reference to his original rebellion near the beginning of creation, while some interpret it as a future event connected to the Tribulation period. By comparing these passages and commentary insights, we consider how Satan's fall may involve multiple stages. The original rebellion before the Garden of Eden, a decisive defeat through Christ's work at the Cross, and a final expulsion from heaven in the future. While Scripture provides clues, the exact timing remains debated. This study encourages believers to search the Scriptures carefully, recognizing that some biblical mysteries invite deeper study and humility as we continue seeking understanding.

Especially around Christmas time, we tend to have a picture in our minds of a gentle Jesus, meek and mild and loving. The book of Revelation depicts a different side of our Lord and savior.In chapters 6-19 we learn about the wrath of the lamb. One day the judgment of God will come upon a Christ-rejecting world in the Tribulation period. And today on Light on the Hill pastor James Kaddis will turn our attention to some of the seal judgments, described for us in Revelation chapter six.

The women trudging to the tomb of Jesus on that Sunday morning didn't expect an angel - but he was expecting them! Our expectations and assumptions have a lot to do with what we see, and what we believe. And with what sinks into our ears, too. All of these factors were in play in those holy hours when Christ had risen, but no one knew it! Mark has four things he wants to lay out for us, simply and clearly. Jim will tell us about those in his sermon, He's Alive - So What?

There is comfort in suffering. When we deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus, surprising things happen. Oh, the expected things happen, too: God is glorified, observers have their eyes opened to a higher kind of life, the gospel advances, believers earn eternal rewards. But there are less-obvious benefits to our suffering, as well. Today Jim will look at the life of Jesus to find some of those. Here's Part 3 of, The Day that Changed Eternity.

Saved From Judgments (1) (audio) David Eells – 3/11/26 I'm going to share some older prophecies with you about the judgments God is sending on the rebellious apostates. We often receive scriptures in our morning prayer meetings of these warnings.   Judgments on America and Its Ministries Shirley Hinkle - 11/07/2007 (David's notes in red) Thank you for your website. It has been a wealth of insight and revelation into the Word of God for me and my friends with whom I share your site. I have never shared these or other dreams that I have had in the past with any website/ministry, but only with five close friends. One of the prayer warriors in our church, whom I shared the dreams with this last week, said, “You must send it to Brother David Eells. You see, I was in prayer Sunday morning and God spoke to my heart and said, “Remember the dreams of the five judgments? IT'S NOW! It's not only the false, sinful church leadership that is under judgment, but judgment on this nation, America, that you are seeing fulfilled.” (In the dreams below God used individuals to represent this apostate leadership. These judgments on them will also judge America. This is judgment is on the secular and religious harlot. Update 3/11/26 - God is now raising up new leadership with power.) Because of the nature of the dreams, I took out the name of the pastor and the people associated with the church where we went for five years. (Shirley is typed as a prophetess and the true church in some of these dreams.) Dream - First of 5 Judgments - 07/03/2005 I dreamed that our former pastor walked into the room where a group of us were standing. I wondered to myself, what is he doing here? I thought, maybe we are to pray for him, so I walked over to him and laid my hand on his head. I said to him, “You are full of lust and pornography”. (I once saw the statistics of how many ministers were into this, and I was shocked.) As I said these words, his head turned to mush under my hand (a mind corrupted by sin). I pulled my hand back, revolted, and turned to walk away, and as I did, he leered and sneered at me. I started to wake up and that is when I saw he was a shell of a man full of demonic spirits. (This represents a generation of apostates, meaning back-slidden, ministers as in the rest of the dreams.) God spoke into my heart and said, “Romans chapters 1 & 3. As he stole from My people, I am taking his mind from him; He is given over to those spirits. (Update 3/11/26 – This has been happening) This is the first of 5 judgments I have shown you”. Dream - Judgment # 2 of 5 - 07/11/2005 All of these people were in booths at a restaurant (Churches where spiritual food, as in the Word, is supposed to be fed). I walked in and it was the congregation of a former church. I began to go from table to table under the anointing and exposing all of the lies of the teachings and sins in the lives of the people. Some people looked at me like, “What are you doing?” They had no comprehension at all. Others said, “Yes, we see it,” and then others were getting very mad, angry at me for telling and exposing all the lies. I looked behind me, and there were 3 of the prayer warriors who had left the church at the same time, as one person, and they were represented as who they are in real life. I raised my right arm to heaven and began to pray in the spirit with a loud voice and with authority. Then, as I was walking out, I turned to the people and said, “The associate pastor was never supposed to leave his wife for the other woman. He played the harlot. He sold his body to prostitution. HE LEFT HER!” (Another common problem among apostate pastors.) Then the next scene in my dream, my husband and I are walking down a hallway away from the restaurant (I.e. away from their teachings). We could hear the former pastor from the other side yelling. We knew he was mad at me for exposing him. He was yelling really loud as he came around the corner, but the weird thing was, he was walking on his knees. His legs were twisted up behind him, and he was being led by his head usher. (I.e. Spiritually crippled and unable to walk with the Lord.) For a split second, I felt pity for this man who was all disfigured, and then I saw his face as he was yelling. My husband and I just stood there quietly watching at first. This pastor was so mad and yelling so loudly. His hair was all matted and snarled, with his face all contorted. Then all of a sudden I looked at him and said, “Everything you have stolen from My people (which is their walk with the Lord), I have taken from you. Judgment has come to your house”. I then brought my right hand down like a gavel was in it. This pastor was nothing but blackness and darkness. This was judgment # 2 of 5 that God had shown me. Dream - Judgment 3 & 4 of 5 - 08/08/2005 I dreamed last night of a lady (the true church) in a church with a lot of people she knew. Some of them walked up to her and asked if she would like to go on a road trip with them; she said yes and got in the car. As the others were getting in, they were snickering and laughing behind her back (mocking her). When they got down the road, they took out a needle and injected it into the woman (filled her with false doctrine) to alter her mind. They took her to a house (apostate church) and it was full of children (of God). The woman was then tormented in many ways. She kept trying to hide the children in different parts of the house so that they would not be harmed. (Trying to save them from the false doctrine) She knew that the ultimate goal of these people was to kill her and the children (spiritually) after they had their fun and sport with her. A man walked into the house. The woman went up to him and said, “We have to save the children. These people are going to kill us”. He just started laughing at her. It was then that she knew he was one of them. She then hid the children in different parts of the house again. Now, instead of me seeing this lady, I am her (the true church), and I am walking down a hallway. I come to an elderly woman (the apostate church showing signs of years under the curse) and I say to her with a loud voice, “The Lord says unto you, you are now forever separated from the presence of God; you will no longer experience the presence of God”. My right hand came down like a gavel, and I said, “This is the Judgment of God on you”. (Update 3/11/26 – These churches are dead now)  She turned from me and walked away; then turned to come back, and I saw it was the pastor's sister-in-law. She was like a mad woman, all crazy. I turned and walked away from her, and as I did, I said, “Lord, what was that all about?” He spoke to me and said, “That is the Church that holds the Truth in unrighteousness (truth they refuse to walk in) and turns my grace into lasciviousness (which is a license to sin).” As I am walking away, I come to a young lady who is not one of the children because they are hidden in different parts of the house. I say to her, “The Lord says unto you, I will never again look upon you with favor or content. You will toil and labor hard all the rest of your days (the curse in Gen.3:19). This is the judgment unto you”. My right hand then came down like a gavel. As the girl turned to walk away from me, I saw it was a teenager in the congregation, the daughter of the church secretary. As I was waking up from this dream, the Lord spoke into my heart, “This is the judgment #3 & 4 of the 5 that I showed you”. I asked the Lord, “What did the teenager represent?” and He quickly answered, “Rebellion; the rebellious ones”. The lady in the beginning is the true church, and the enemy is trying to steal the mind of God's people, by altering their thinking and doping them with falsehoods. (that please the flesh) They are laughing and mocking the True Church of the Living God. The children represent the innocent that God has hidden under his wings, till the storm passes by. (God has hidden some innocents in the apostate church, which He will deliver. Isa 26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ) Dream - Judgment # 5 of 5 - 09/30/2005 I dreamt last night that we were at our former church. They were having a camp meeting. I was volunteering in the kitchen (where the spiritual food of teaching is prepared), and the pastor's wife (representing the apostate church) walked up to me and said that someone was very mad at me for being here. She said, “You are not supposed to be here”. I said that all I was trying to do was to help. She never said to stay or even tried to defend me. As I was sitting there, a woman walked up to the pastor's wife (the apostate church) and said to her... “It's beginning to rain, You are a flower that will die, Where your petals fall, There they will lie”. (great falling away) My friends who were standing with me started weeping, went over and hugged her goodbye; I stayed, watching and weeping. I tried to warn, to explain, but there was nothing to say. The pastor's wife looked at me with sadness and a knowing. I said to her, “All I know is that I love God with all of my heart, and I know you do too”. She then began to weep. (The church who loves God in their born-again spirit but does not love Him enough to obey so that their soul is born again will die. Rom.8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Joh.14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. 1Pe.1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten [born] again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. As was said in the prophetic poem, the flower, a symbol of all that is beautiful about the flesh, will fall. What people think is beautiful about their fleshly religion will die.) As we were leaving and driving away from the Church, it began to rain, on both sides of the road, the flowers were dead and the animals too. I looked at my husband and started weeping so hard (The grace of life will be taken away from the apostate church in their idolatry with the flesh.). He said to me, “My brother (representing the apostate church) is dying, so it must still be before February”. I said, “I know”. (My husband's brother had died the year before, in February from bladder cancer.) This is Judgment #5. The first 5 judgment dreams on apostate ministries are coming to pass now. As the Lord said, “IT'S NOW!” This was said in 2005. The apostate ministries are losing their minds and walking as cripples more every day because this is what they have done to God's people. Since history or “His-story” always repeats, very soon this will be spoken of them as it was of their forefathers: Mat.13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. (As in Jesus' day, these same ones will persecute the true church of the “called out ones”.) Here are a few more dreams Shirley sent us: Dream - 10/20/2007 - Baby Boy - First Tribulation Judgment I walked into a church filled with people. I recognized people from our former church, all standing around talking and carrying on with their programs. As I walked down the hall, I saw a small baby boy in the trash. I picked him up and said, “You don't belong here in the trash”. (This shows the apostate church's disregard for the fruit of Christ revealed in the man-child body in their midst. It also represents their hatred for the first-fruits Man-child ministry [Rev.12:5,6] that is to lead this church into that fruit, just as their forefathers did in Jesus' day.) As I was taking him out of the trash, the pastor's wife was there and was so mad at me. She said to me, “You think you are going to get away with this? You are going to pay!” (They hate those who value the fruit of Christ just as they did in the Book of Acts. Those who come out from among them will take the fruit of Christ with them.) I took him outside the church and walked over to my husband to show him the baby. The baby was playing and cooing in my arms. I was so upset that he had been thrown away like that, discarded in the trash. As I was playing with the baby and taking care of him and loving on him, my husband said, “You have to take him back”. I said it wasn't right that they put him in the trash, but my husband said, “He has to go back”. (Those who love the fruit will see Him in their lives. Like the Shulamite bride in Song of Solomon, they will take Him back to their mother church.) SoS.3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me; [To whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4 It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. As I was walking back to the church, I had to cross a street; the cars were flying past me on both sides. I was in the middle of the intersection and was almost getting run over by each car that passed (those on the broad road will not appreciate the greatness in their midst). I held the baby close and kept trying to get across. As I walked back into the church to take the baby back, I was so sad. Nobody saw me or acknowledged that the baby had been returned and saved from the trash. They continued with their programs they were all doing. (The return of the man-child or His fruit in the bride's heart will not be appreciated by most when He returns to give a witness to them as Jesus did. This will be the first judgment of the tribulation in Revelation 6:1,2 -- the White Horse Rider, which brings all of the other riders upon the earth. This will be as when Moses came to set Israel free from bondage to the Egyptians. He brought all the judgments to accomplish this.) Josh and the baby boy represent both the fruit of Christ in their midst that they have rejected and the first-fruits Man-child ministry who is to lead them through the wilderness tribulation. As the Lord said, this is a “judgment on this nation, America,” for the apostate church has not represented Christ to them in being the salt needed to preserve them. This false church is leading America to destruction. Dream - 09/28/2007 - America's Judgment I walked into a large convention center full of young people. They were in groups all over the building. Some were standing and talking, others were bowed in groups in prayer. God spoke to my heart and said that His Holy Spirit is searching the heart of America. His Holy Spirit is going throughout this nation searching out those who are seeking His face in this time of turmoil. Searching this generation, for it is the last generation... And it shall not pass until we see the fulfillment of His Word. As I walked among them, I could hear them talking to each other and saying, “What do you think? Who will you vote for?” and others were giving their opinion on the matters of our world. God then spoke to me and said they are going by human reasoning; they are not looking to Me, the Author and Finisher of their Faith; they are searching out man's ways and not My ways. As I was walking among them, Hillary Clinton walked into the building and started walking among them also. God spoke into my heart and said, “This is Romans 1 being fulfilled in your sight. This is the first judgment coming into being on this nation in its FULLNESS. This nation is being given over.” God showed me that Clinton also was getting a feel of where they stood and what they were thinking and talking about. That we as a people in this nation are being marked, and we will be known for what we stand for in these final days. The ones who are weeping and mourning, standing in Truth and Righteousness, will be separated and marked as in Ezekiel 9. I then walked up to her and said, “You will be put in office, but it will bring this country down.”  I knew that she represented in the spirit this nation's final apostasy against God in its fullness. (This was a warning! Although she served herself in many offices, including first political lady [ Link! ], the highest office was denied her because of urgent prayers for mercy.)   Abandonment of a previous loyalty, the woman, this nation leaving her natural affection for God, her family, her children, given over to her lusts and vile affections. I then said, “This is our judgment!” I said this very loudly and pleading, knowing we are in judgment... I then said, “Tell America to REPENT!” But she just looked past me like I wasn't there and hadn't said anything to her. She walked away with a smirk on her face. God spoke into my heart and said, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”. (Rom.1:32) Dream - 10/01/2007 - Blow the Trumpet, Sound the Alarm, Our Judgment Has Come. My husband and I were standing by the riverbank; it was flowing over the top like a waterfall, so pretty. I knew that it was America in her false sense of security and prosperity -- everything flowing along so smoothly. I said with a loud voice, “It is getting ready to overflow (the U.S. leaving her God-given natural boundaries) like never before and bring destruction. It will destroy everything. (In Jeremiah 25, Babylon, which is called the great eagle [U.S.] in Ezekiel 17, brought the cup of wrath to all nations and then they brought it to her. “When the enemy comes in like a flood”. After the Man-child is anointed in Rev 6:2 comes World War. Rev.6:4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.) Everything that the people have put their trust in, in one moment it is going to be completely swept away before their eyes. God said, “Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sound the alarm!” I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet”. My husband then picked up a trumpet and put it to his mouth, and started to blow. God is asking the men of God to once again put the trumpet to their mouths and blow, sound the alarm, proclaim the Truth. To warn the people to get their eyes off of this world and all that it holds, for it (that is, peace, security and prosperity) is all getting ready to be taken from them. God then said again, “Warn the people, it will destroy everything. Blow the trumpet!” Again, I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet, warn the people”. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. God spoke to my heart and said, “Don't stop warning, don't stop telling, don't stop!” People were walking around like nothing was going to happen. Some were getting very angry with me for yelling in a loud voice. I recognized some of the people. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. Again, God spoke to my heart, “Even if the people whom you know don't like it and get angry with you, you must never stop blowing the trumpet! You must always proclaim Truth, no matter what happens”. I then knew that this was the fulfillment of the judgment that God had told me... He spoke to me and said, “A nation that forgets God is given over and this is the judgment... Deuteronomy 28 (which is the curse on the rebellious)... Your houses, your land, your children, your possessions, your freedom, your very lives will be taken from you in judgment.”   Flood of Judgment G.C.- 04/16/2008 (David's notes in red) I had one of the most vivid and real dreams in recent memory. In this dream, I was told by God that a great flood would destroy the world. He told me this before it even happened. As the days went by, after I had received His message, water started covering the Earth. The source of the water did not seem to be rainwater but came from the ground. (I recall that in the flood account of Noah, some of the water came from the fountains of the deep and this is what was happening in my dream.) It seemed like for weeks the water covered the world and after each passing day, the people had to abandon homes and buildings and move toward higher ground. I was just in awe of what was happening and tried my best to warn the people that this was God's judgment and that they needed to repent to be saved. I recall that I was never scared or frightened because of the fact that I had been warned before this started to happen, which gave me comfort. I spent the last days pleading with people about repentance but very few took heed. The last thing I remember is that I was at one of the highest points of land, and the water kept rising. I woke up before I could find out the outcome of the dream. I know that another great flood will not occur, but I do feel this was symbolic. Spiritually, a flood of judgment will cover the earth; it will come out of the earth from hell. The demons will administer the legal curse of the waters of the Word on the unrepentant. In the natural, we have seen mass flooding, fires, hurricanes, and large earthquakes all around the world, some man made, and the Tribulation hasn't even arrived.   Refuge from Judgment Sister R. from CA - 11/15/2010 (David's notes in red) I was outside (I am not sure of the place). I looked up at the heavens and noticed that suddenly the clouds turned dark. They were storm clouds. (Observing coming bad events from heaven, judgments, tribulations, and trials are near, and we can see them coming.) Then one opened up and the water gushed out, as if someone had poured a bucket of water out of it. (Sudden destructions from heaven whether through man or nature.) Then suddenly, the clouds of this water turned into this huge tidal wave. (Huge destructive events from heaven.) I realized that I could not outrun it. So, I ran into this building (I believe it was a hotel). (By our own strength we cannot escape. The hotel is the house of God. As with a hotel, we are individual buildings that are “builded together” to make up one building, His house [Ephesians 2:19-22]. Symbolizing revival. Many people find their way into the Kingdom as a refuge, an ark, from the wave, which represents the judgment on this world. 1Co.4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place.) I was with a group of people and we all went to the upper floors of the building. (A spiritual place of safety in heavenly places in Christ. Psa.94:22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.) The water came into the building, and we had to go to higher floors for safety. (Waters of judgment will drive God's people higher in the refuge of Christ as Psalm 91 shows.) At one point, the water flooded onto the same floor where I was with this group of people. (We will see and share the experiences and overcome through faith.) I thought I was going to die, but I had peace because I knew that I was going to be with the Lord. (Trusting the Lord with life and death. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.) But the floor we were on (the side of this building where we were) had an elevator and a place where we could reach safety. (The elevator is the rest. You don't have to attempt to save yourselves by your own works; just get closer to God by grace through faith in Him.) When the floods came into this floor, not only could I see this elevator, but there was higher ground on this floor where we could step up to reach safety. (Praise the Lord! He provides a place of refuge every step of the way as in Psa.91.) We had working cell phones and light in the hotel. One person, I don't know who, received a phone call. (We have the ability to pray and abide in the Light of the Scriptures. “Working” cell phones mean effective communication with each other and the Lord.) I thought it was strange that we always had light because normally, if that situation had really happened, the electricity would go out. (There was light in Goshen when the rest of Egypt had none. The Lord will not withdraw His light or power in judgment situations. Do not fear, no matter what form it takes. The Lord will give great assurance.) During the entire dream, I had peace.   Impending Judgment on America From a prophet friend in East Florida: (I do not doubt that some of these judgments below will be lessened or done away with.) Vision 1: The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have many millions of Muslims in America, and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, they will burn America to the ground. I saw Muslim women coming into America and in their inner body parts, vials of anthrax and bio chemicals. I saw 180 million Americans die in a 72-hour period, then I saw New York, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and California nuked; we will be invaded. Russia and China will do it. (From other dreams I believe this will be close to the end of the tribulation. From famous visions and dreams, such as Washington's, Dumitru Duduman's, A.A. Allens, on our site, we know the righteous will overcome and have victory.) Vision 2: The Lord took me in the spirit to outer space, and I saw very dim stars. Then the lights came on, and I saw a huge asteroid, brown in color coming to planet earth, the asteroid turning over and over like tumbling. Vision 3: The Lord took me in the spirit, and I drove down the east coast of Florida and up the west coast, and when I was in Orlando, Florida - the Lord cut Florida in half, and I said, “Lord, have mercy.” and He said, “No more mercy.” And the second time I said, “Lord, have mercy.” He said, “No more mercy.” I asked the Lord why He is doing this, and He said, “Death of the innocents”. I saw from Kissimmee, Florida, to Miami underwater, then the Lord showed me portable buildings stacked like a train, all connected together. The buildings were full of people with legs and arms missing. I ran into the buildings, and there was no end to the buildings. Vision 4: I saw an asteroid race right by Florida and go north; what a horrible sound, and it hit us. Then I saw helicopters with men carrying guns, and when they came to me, I disappeared. Later, I was somewhere else, and I put out my hand, and an apple was there and I ate it. The Lord will take care of his true servants, don't worry. Vision 5: I was in a red suit and riding in a red car, and something was holding me from passing and going to the sea. (Covered in the red blood we are protected from the peoples, tribes, nations, and tongues.) Then they moved away, and I got to the sea; I dropped my cell phone, and I went into the sea and entered a building that was very strong and safe. (Spiritual Mount Zion is a place of safety in the midst of tribulation.) Interpretation: I have a great call on my life, Isaiah 63, 64, and 65. Red is the blood of Christ and power; the seas are the people for the harvest. The building is Christ and the cell phone is a connection to this world. We are to be led by the spirit and hearing God's voice and not be sold out to the world. God's Kingdom is not of this world. I died 17 years ago when I received the Holy Ghost and I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus. We must all go that way and we will do exploits for the end time harvest. Jesus said we will do greater things than He because He will send the Holy Ghost - Mark 16:17. Be one of them and give God all the glory. So, with all these judgments the Lord is bringing, we can have complete peace, rest, protection, and His provision as we believe and confess the Gospel.   The Real, Free Gospel David Eells God cannot fail, but we can hinder His works with our own. Jesus told his disciples, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Mat.16:6). They understood this to mean their teaching (verse 12). Their teaching that was so dangerous was salvation by self-works (Gal.2:16; 5:1-6). In explaining this in Mat.16:9,10 Jesus said, “Do you not perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets (12) you took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets (7) you took up?” Notice that the more loaves they provided of their own supply, the fewer were fed, and there were less baskets of leftovers. Jesus' obvious point was that the more you work, the less God works. Salvation in any form is by grace, which is unmerited or unearned. “For by grace have ye been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should glory”. (Epe.2:8-9). The word “saved” here is translated from the Greek word “sozo” and is used in Luk.7:50 for the saving of the soul. In Luk.8:48, it is translated “made thee whole” for healing of the body. In Luk.8:36, it is translated “made whole” for deliverance from demons. In Mat.8:25, it is translated “save” for protection from danger. You see, “saved” covers every curse, and it is not of our works. Jesus “became a curse for us” so that we might have “the blessing of Abraham” (Gal.3:13,14). The all-inclusive curse in Deu.28 was put upon him. I remind you that Epe.2:8 says in the original Greek: “by grace have ye been saved”, meaning it happened at the cross. The wilderness is a completely safe and secure place for the “believer” because everything has already been provided there. Our faith in the promises is the very substance that the desired need is made from. (Heb.11:1) Now faith is assurance (or substance) of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. The reason Jesus said, “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive (Greek: “received”) them, and ye shall have them” (Mar.11:24), is because all of our provision was accomplished at the cross. Notice in the following verses that all things have been received and that the only thing left is for us to believe it. Also notice the past tense of our sacrificial provision in the following verses: (Epe.2:8) for by grace have ye been saved through faith; (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body ... by whose stripes we were healed; (Col.1:13) who delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (2Co.5:18) ... who reconciled us to himself; (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me; (Gal. 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse; (1Pe.1:3) ... the Father ... begat us again ... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (Heb.10:10) We ... have been sanctified ...; (14) He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified; (Epe.1:3) ... who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, and God in (2Pe.1:3) hath granted unto us all things. Jesus told us in His day which, of course was accomplished in the past that “Now shall the prince of this world be cast out” (Joh.12:31); “but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Joh.16:33); “It is finished” (Joh.19:30). This is why we are to believe we have received. The devil and the curse were conquered. We were saved, healed, delivered, and provided for. That is why Paul said, “my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phl.4:19). Redemption from the curse and provision for life are truly accomplished at the cross! In fact, God's “works were finished from the foundation of the world” (Heb.4:3), when He spoke the plan into existence. The only thing left is for the true sons of God to enter into those works by faith, believing they have received. Since the works are finished, we should believe and rest from our own works to save, heal, provide, and deliver ourselves. This is rest in the wilderness on the grounds of God's promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest. That is a spiritual Sabbath rest. (Heb.4:9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest (Greek: sabbatismos, “keeping of rest”) for the people of God. This constant “keeping of rest” every day through the past tense promises is our New Testament spiritual Sabbath. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. This rest is to believe these past tense promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

What does it mean to take up our cross and follow Jesus? Yesterday we got a glimpse of Simon of Cyrene, the foreigner who was honored to carry the cross of Christ up that hill. We'll think some more about him today, from chapter 15 of Mark's account and beyond. But that crossbeam - the one the Savior hung on - is not literally our cross. Jim will talk about what our cross is, and what it is not, on today's episode. It's the middle part of his talk, The Day that Changed Eternity.

The divine plan must have looked totally random to Simon of Cyrene! Everything about that last day of Jesus' life was "by the Book" - I mean, according to what was written in the Scriptures. And people created in the image of God were making free choices. Somehow these cosmic forces intersected on a busy street right in front of a dark-skinned foreigner named Simon. He was chosen to ease the burden of a condemned man.

One thing everyone wants to know is if the Tribulation has started. What would be the signs that we are in the Tribulation? Today Pastor Stan shares three events to look for that will mark the Start of the Tribulation. 00:00 A Great Harvest 02:57 The Three Events 18:09 The Conservative Purge

Join us as we continue our discussion of the preparation in heaven for the coming 7-year Tribulation and opening of the 7 seals after the rapture of the Church.

Pastor opens with a prayer for God to build unity among believers especially in the areas where we have differing opinions, that we would show grace to one another and humility before God. Pastor begins with the "rapture" passage in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will be with the Lord forever." "Will be caught up." This caught up is the rapture. "Will be caught up" is one word in Greek: harpazō (Latin was used to translate the Greek work and in Latin the word is rapiemur from which we get "rapture") Let's check out 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16 where Paul answers the question about Christian believers who have died, "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to the Lord's word we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God and the dead in Christ will rise first."   These are encouraging words for believers, giving them the assurance of Jesus' Second Coming and the assurance of the resurrection of the dead, the gathering of the living and all going with Jesus in the air and of being with Him forever. If we take Paul's powerful words of summary of the Second Coming in these verses - it seems to be saying that the rapture occurs when Jesus returns, when the dead are raised and when we are all caught up in the air with Him. Paul goes on to say in verse 18: "Therefore encourage one another with these words." In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 we read that Christ comes at a time no one knows, and He comes not only to bring His people to Himself, but to bring judgement. Verses 4-6 goes on to tell us that we belong to the Light and not to the darkness and Paul calls us to understanding that Jesus can come anytime and that we should be ready and looking forward to His return.  Common questions:         What is all this talk about the Rapture - its referring to believers who have died in Christ and those who are alive when He returns and the risen dead and the alive will be united with Christ         Will there be a rapture - Yes!!!         Where is the rapture found in the Bible - In 1 Thessalonians 4         When will the rapture take place - at the Second Coming of Christ         Will Christians go through the Tribulation - The word for tribulation is the Greek word thlipsis. It is used 45 time in the New Testament. (Suffering, persecution, tribulation) Pastor takes us on an exploration of the ways thlipsis is used in the New Testament by looking at:         John 16:33         Matthew 24:21-22         Romans 5:3         1 Thessalonians 3:7         2 Thessalonians 1:4         Revelation 7:14 We see in these verses that tribulation is a reality, we read of the tribulation of others, of Jesus saying that in this world we will have tribulation, that there will be tribulation, and we read about glorying in our tribulations.  Pastor shares the tribulation of the apostles, disciples, and early believers, and that throughout the centuries there has been tribulation of Christian people and in our day the tribulation that is attacking many believers around the world (kidnapped, raped, captured, hunted down, killed, ridiculed, put down, in fear of losing jobs, etc). Tribulation is real, it's a reality. the Bible doesn't say we will escape it, instead it says we will be persecuted. Our hope is not based on being taken out of tribulation, our hope is on the second coming of Christ. And the assurance that we will be raised on the last day and will live with Him forever. Believers have differing opinions - Pastor encourages us with what the Bible says:         to maintain the peace of the Holy Spirit.          To search the scripture         to not get caught up in details that cause controversy          to focus on the mission of bringing others to Christ Jesus is the only message of reconciliation and eternal life. That is our focus, labor, prayer and service. Bottom line …. The entire New Testament points to the Second Coming of Christ and urges us to live in such a way as to be always ready for His return. Pastor's closing prayer speaks of thanks to God for the Scriptures, while in them we don't find everything we want to know, the Scriptures do provide ALL that we need to know. Now What?

We must face facts: Sin is an awful thing, it is in the world, and as sinners, we deserve judgment. That's what the Tribulation is … it's judgment. Only through the shed blood of Christ do we escape that judgment. God can't tolerate sin, so He pours out His wrath on it. That's what we'll witness in Scripture in Revelation 14.

Our "rogues' gallery" is about to get some rouge! As Mark describes the trials and crucifixion of Jesus, several characters are suddenly thrown into the stream of events: Pontius Pilate; a very nasty criminal named Barabbas; and others who were encountering Christ for the first time. But today we'll see two more who had a chance to observe the Lord for a while. One of them is a woman, Mary Magdalene. Here's Jim with the conclusion of his sermon, The Week That Changed the World.

Confronted by the Truth. The Disciples had gradually come to know Jesus over a period of time. But for a handful of people, Christ suddenly burst into their lives, and they had to try to come to grips with Him as best they could.

There is more than one "End." We talk about "the End of the Age" as if it were the same experience for everyone, happening at the same time. Today Jim will unconfuse us about that! But to follow this thread we'll have to widen the discussion beyond Mark's record (which we've been studying), and bring Luke, Paul, and even Daniel onto the panel. Once we see the distinction between what Jesus said about the "Kingdom of God" and our "redemption," things will start to fall into place.

Don't Bow to the Beast (1) (audio) David Eells 3/4/26  I want to talk to you about refusing to bow to the Beast, but we will first go over a little background.  Many Christians are deceived about the Bride and the leadership of the church. We know God is raising up a new leadership, a Man-child ministry in these days that's going to be the first fruits of those to walk in the steps of Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 16 that He was going to come again as a baby, a Man-child, born to a woman. We read in Revelation 12 that the Man-child is born at the beginning of the Tribulation Period and that the Man-child leads the woman through the wilderness. In studying the Book of Esther, we've learned that “Mordecai” in Hebrew means “little man” and in Persian means “little boy.” Persia was the Beast kingdom that he was under at the time. Both of those mean “Manchild.” In Esther 2:5, it says that Mordecai was in Shushan, the palace. He wasn't just a commoner; he was a ruler, somebody under the king who probably had to do with ruling over God's people. In Esther 2:19-20, it says that he also sat in the “king's gate,” which was the place of government, where the rulers of the conquered nations gathered before the king. Mordecai raised up Esther as the Bride and he “nourished her,” the original word says. He prepared her for this time and he continued to guide her steps all the way through the Book of Esther, all the way through their tribulation. Also, Hegai, the king's chamberlain, was very pleased with Esther, and she required nothing but what Hegai provided. And we need nothing but what the Holy Spirit provides us with. (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. This Bride and Man-child are the “sons of God” for whom the creation has been awaiting, the fullness of the sonship of Jesus Christ manifested in His people. In fact, the Shulamite in the Song of Solomon, the Bride who was chosen from among all the fair virgins of the kingdom, was called his “perfect one” (Song of Solomon 5:2). God is going to perfect, to mature His people. Esther was chosen out of all the fair virgins of the kingdom “because the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her Queen” (Est.2:17). But even then she was under the guidance of Mordecai and in verse (20) … Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him. So we see that the job of the Man-child is to raise up the Bride and guide her. The Man-child is the head of the Bride, much like the False Prophet is the head of the Harlot. There is a corporate body of apostate people, called the Harlot, and the head of that body is its so-called Christian leadership, which is leading it astray. The Bride is Jerusalem and David was the head of Jerusalem. When Jesus came, He sat upon the throne of David and He was the head of the Bride. John the Baptist said, He that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29), as he saw Jesus leading the disciples. That's a short background, somewhat, and there's much more to the Book of Esther. (Est.3:1) After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. These princes were the people who ruled over the kingdoms over which Ahasuerus ruled, and among those princes was Mordecai, who was over the people of God. Now we see that Mordecai and Esther are two entities whom God uses to save the rest of the people of God from destruction by the Beast. The Beast that was to destroy them is represented here by Haman, who is a corporate body, just as Mordecai represents a corporate body of people. Why would God advance Haman above the other princes? Because throughout history, God has raised up a Beast kingdom over His people in times when His people were in apostasy. Why is God calling His people out of the Harlot? (Rev.18:4) … Come forth, my people, out of her…. It's because there is such an apostasy in the Church, and they've turned away from the Word; they've gone after religions. They are in apostasy and God is calling His people out of that.  This is what the Tribulation is for. Every time God's people have become a harlot, He raised up a Beast to come against them: from Egypt, to Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and now the end-time Rome. We're seeing a worldwide revived Roman Empire being raised up again for the purpose of sanctifying His people and bringing them to repentance. The raising up of Haman, with his authority to destroy the people of God, is what brings God's people to repentance. (Est.3:2) And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate (That's the place where government was, where all the representatives of the nations saw the face of the King.), bowed down, and did reverence to Haman (the Beast); for the king had so commanded concerning him. In Rom 13 we are told to submit to the powers that be. He had given Haman authority over God's people. People don't think that the Lord gives authority to evil in the earth, but He does, and it's for the purpose of bringing repentance. (Job2:10) … What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil… God does bring evil against His people as a chastening and a method to bring them to repentance.  So all the King's servants who were in the King's gate bowed down to the Beast, But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence (Est.3:2). I would say bowing down with reverence should be given nly to God. However, submitting to man's kingdoms is necessary to obey the Lord.  This is something we find all through the Scriptures. Mordecai, as a type of the man-child, refused to bow down to the Beast. We see the example of Joseph, who was sold into bondage by the Harlot, Potiphar's wife, and came to the position of authority like Mordecai. We see the example of Jesus, who didn't bow down to the Beast; and Moses, who didn't bow down; and Daniel – all these are types of the Man-child, who refused to bow down to the Beast.  (3) Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? (4) Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Who is this accusing Mordecai to the Beast? You remember throughout history how the apostate brethren of Joseph persecuted and came against him and sold him into the hand of the Beast; and the apostate brethren of Jesus, the leadership of apostate Israel, accused Him to the Beast. We're seeing the same thing here; history keeps on repeating. We're not talking about rebellion against Constitutional, political authority here. We're talking about rebellion in terms of not bowing down religiously, of not worshipping the Beast as God. Today, there is a spirit of worship of the Beast by Christians, and there has been for many centuries. Patriotism, pledging allegiance, all these things that saints in past days would never have thought of doing, God's people today think nothing of. They don't understand that there's only one Kingdom – the Kingdom of God – which we should be representing. (5) And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. (6) But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai. Notice that the head over all God's true people is represented here by Mordecai.  In the rest of the story, Mordecai and Esther save all of these Jews from the Beast. Does that mean that all of what we loosely call Christians are going to be saved from the Beast? No, but the true Jews, those who are circumcised in heart, not in flesh, are all going to be saved. All Israel (Romans 11:26) is going to be saved – everybody who is grafted into the olive tree called “all Israel.” They'll be saved from the Beast in one form or another. We see here that Mordecai is one of the princes who sat in the king's gate to represent his people. He was among the other princes who were accusing him. In Ezekiel 17, I've shared a revelation the Lord gave me concerning the Beast of D.S. Babylon, who has brought God's people into bondage. We know that when Babylon conquered the nations, it not only brought apostate Israel into bondage, but they brought people like Daniel and the Hebrews, who were appointed people of God in their time, under the thumb of the Beast kingdom. When we talk about Mordecai, we're talking about the good leadership, but what about the bad leadership that accused him? (Eze.17:2) Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; (3) and say, Thus saith the Lord God: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (4) he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants. This represents the Great Eagle of America which is the head of D.S. Babylon, bringing the leadership of God's people into bondage. In the natural, it's happening; natural Israel is more and more under Kazarian D.S. dominion. Something else is also happening, and that is, that spiritual new testament Israel said to be circumcised in heart is being brought more and more under the dominion of the latest Beast government. Media-Persia of Cyrus/Trump is conquering Babylon, thank God. In fact, as we keep reading, it says (11) Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (12) Say now to the rebellious house…. Why is it that God is permitting  Beast governments to bring under their authority the spiritual people of God and the “letter” people of God, the natural Jews? It is because they are rebellious houses. The letter Israel is a type and shadow for spiritual Israel. They've rebelled against the covenant that God has given. (12) Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon. So the king and the princes of both spiritual and natural Israel have been under the dominion of Babylon. What makes a beast a beast? The flesh is in control over the spiritual. The Alliance of nations under Cyrus/Trump is about to be a GESARA covenant. Although we will benefit from this covenant to rebuild the Kingdom of God, it will not last. The next seven verses go on to talk about a covenant that was broken in the middle, exactly as we would expect if it were Daniel's 70th-week covenant of the end-time broken in the middle. God also rebukes them for breaking His covenant and then He talks about another leadership that He's raising up. We just saw the apostate leadership, the king and the princes, brought under the dominion of Babylon, but He talks about a new leadership here. (22) Thus saith the Lord God: I will also take of the l7ofty top of the cedar (An evergreen type of eternal life), and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain. That's referring to the mountain representing the Kingdom of God, spiritual Mount Zion. This was the same description (cropping off the topmost twigs) that God gave in verse four here, referring to the apostate leadership of Israel/Church, but now the Lord speaks of a type of the Israel/Church's new leadership. So, once again, He is talking about a new leadership, “the topmost twig.” (23) In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell. (24) And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I, the Lord, have spoken and have done it. God is bringing down a false leadership over the true people of God, and He's raising up a new leadership. This is just as it was in the days of Jesus and Moses, when the apostate leadership persecuted the Man-child Jesus and then His disciples. In the same way, in the end-time, God is going to bring down the high and the lofty and raise up the lowly to take that position who will walk in the steps of the Lord Jesus, the Man-child of Revelation 12. He came as a Lamb but now as a Lion. We just had a prophecy of the coming Lion, who come manifested in His Man-child body.  So we see here two groups in captivity. In the time of Esther, there were two groups in captivity, and the one persecuted the other, just as the False Prophet in Israel, the Sanhedrin, persecuted the Man-child ministry of Jesus. We see the same thing with Mordecai and these servants of the king who accused him to the Beast. Jesus was accused to the Beast by the corporate False Prophet of Israel. Also, we can go to Daniel and see that when Babylon took God's people into captivity, there was the good thrown in with the bad. (Dan.1:1) In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (the “Great Eagle” in Eze 17.) unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. (2) And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god. (3) And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles; (4) youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace…. There it is! These are people whom God is raising up who are spotless and blemishless, and they're not equated with the Jewish king and his princes, who were also taken captive. That's the way it was with Daniel. (6) Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. (7) And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abednego. Next, these four had to be proven because they wouldn't be defiled by eating the king's food. They wouldn't partake of the Babylonish king's dainties and, since they wouldn't be defiled, they also didn't bow down to the image of the Beast. It's important to know that what we eat is what we are, and if we partake of a beastly doctrine that enables our flesh to rule, we will become a member of the Beast. Our flesh is a member of the Beast kingdom – it is an enemy of God; it's at enmity with your spirit. Partaking of fleshly doctrines is partaking of the Beast's dainties. Anyway, there was nothing but good said about these four Hebrews. (17) Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. … (20) And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm. (21) And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. What we see in the Book of Daniel – twice, in chapters 3 and 6 – is exactly what we see concerning the accusations against Mordecai, the Man-child, by the other leaders. What happened in Jesus' day, when He was accused by the other rabbis, the apostates (and accused to the Roman Beast, too, by the way), we see also in Daniel. The three Hebrews represented the people who would not bow down. Daniel was obviously in leadership, but the three Hebrews refused to bow down to the image of the Beast in Daniel chapter three. It was the image of the Beast because it had the number of the Beast. (Dan.3:1) Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore (60 - there's “6”) cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits (there's “6-6”): he set it up in the plain of Dura…. “Dura” means “a circle,” which reminds us of the earth, and the Gematria for “the earth” or “the world” is 600. So there you have a representation of the world adding up to 666. We're talking about the image of the Beast, and it's made up of, if we look carefully in chapter two, all the peoples and all the kingdoms, one right after another.  Now notice who was commanding the people to bow down to this image: (4) Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages…. The word “herald” is the only Greek word in this text, and it's the New Testament word for “preacher.” So we have apostate preachers over the people of God, commanding them to bow down to the image of the Beast. This is like pledging allegiance. Not everybody bowed down, just as we saw with Mordecai. The other servants of the king who stood in the king's gate bowed down. This was the leadership of the apostate people of God, or the False Prophet. They bowed down to Haman, but Mordecai, the Man-child, refused. We see that they commanded them to bow down, and the people all bowed down, except for the three Hebrews. (8) Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews. They were accused because they refused to bow down to the image of the Beast. Now, God saved them and brought a witness through them of His power to save, even in the fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter, as in the seven years of the Tribulation Period. “Times” is used in Revelation 12:14, for instance, as in “a time, times, and half a time,” speaking of years. So “seven times” in this text speaks of the Tribulation Period. The three Hebrews refused to bow down. They served the king, obeyed and submitted to the government of the king, but when it came to bowing down, they refused. The world is going to demand this; they're going to make their generic god, and everyone is going to have to serve it and be at peace with others and not witness to others and so on. We have another witness of Daniel himself, who was a type of the Man-child. Daniel refused to bow down, and the same situation happened. There were others with him, who were leaders, who accused him before the Beast: (Dan.6:1) It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom; (2) and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one (“Throughout the whole kingdom” could be an application of what we loosely call “the Kingdom of God.”); that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage. (3) Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. (4) Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Praise God! Those were the false prophets who corresponded to the false prophets in Jesus' day, who sought occasion for false witness against Jesus, and since He had committed no sin, they had to falsely accuse Him. It was the same with Daniel here. The head of the Harlot was the false prophets and false leaders who were accusing Jesus, How is the faithful city become a harlot! … (Isa.1:21). God's people had become a harlot because they had apostatized and were committing fornication with the world. They were receiving the seed of the world, the seed of the Beast kingdom. (Dan.6:5) Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. (6) Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. (7) All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. Daniel only bowed down to his God; he only asked of his God; he wasn't going to treat the king or the Beast as a god. (8) Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. (9) Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. (10) And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem;) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. So he only knelt down to the God of Israel. He refused to bow down to the image of the Beast.  (11) Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. (12) Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. (13) Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. (14) Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him. Notice that it wasn't the Beast that wanted to destroy the Man-child; it was his own brothers. Joseph's brothers were the ones who sold him into bondage to the Gentiles. And, accordingly, Pilate wanted nothing to do with crucifying what he called Jesus, this righteous man (Mat.27:24).  The apostates twisted his arm, exactly as they are doing here. We are headed to the exact same time, when the false leadership over God's people is going to be used to persecute the true leadership. Although all of them are going to be under the same Beast government rule, the leadership of the apostate people of God, just as we saw with Mordecai, is going to bow down to the Beast. Amazingly, people whom you and I have called Christians and thought were Christians will be part of a great falling away. The 10 northern tribes worshipped the image of the beast and were part of a great falling away. They bowed down to the golden calf, or the image of a beast. Now the same thing is happening to what we loosely call Christianity; they have built and bowed down to their golden calf. It's a work of man's hands. It has nothing to do with God or His Word that He created in the very beginning, as far as Christianity is concerned. It's something that they have made themselves, and because it's their own, they're going to want to protect it and defend it and their livelihood along with it. The Man-child ministry is going to be a threat to that because of the truths that will come forth, just as they came out of Jesus. The Bible spoke about Jesus, how He opened His mouth, and things that were hidden from the foundation of the world were revealed. Things that have been hidden are going to be revealed, but also, things that have been hidden in God's people are going to be revealed by this great falling away and by the apostates' siding with the Beast against their brethren. They are Judases, sons of perdition, false prophets. The point here in Daniel is that he still refused to do anything but bow down only to the real, true God, not to just any ruler or generic god, not even to any god that they might call “Jesus.” Many religious images of Jesus are not Him at all. When we read the Bible, we see the true Jesus and His crucified life. That contrasts with what we see now in Christianity. Will the current leadership continue to bring a reproach on Christianity by living so lavishly and fleecing so many people? That's not walking in the steps of Jesus; that's not the crucified life. These people defend that lifestyle as spiritual, and it's a shame. How many airplanes can a person use? God is sending the Beast not only because of the leadership, but also because of the people who don't understand that they should not support people who do such things. The crucified life that Jesus and His disciples walked was a simple life without all the accoutrements of Babylon. They didn't have the fancy temple and the big synagogues, but they had the truth. That was part of the trial. There is a great apostasy, a rebellion, in the church. They're in love with the world, and the things of the world, and the Bible says, If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him (1Jn.2:15). God is proving just who it is who loves Him. The Bride, in the Song of Solomon, ran fanatically after the Bridegroom, so much so that she surprised the other queens, virgins, and concubines. They thought that one Jesus was just as good as another. But the other Jesus' are made by man. They give Jesus a character that's contrary to Scripture, a contrary doctrine, and so on.  Well, Daniel wouldn't bow down, so he had to be thrown into the lion's den and, as you know, God preserved him. God sent His angel. (Dan.6:18) Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him. (19) Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. (20) And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? (21) Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. (22) My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. (23) Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God. (24) And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den. That's very similar to Revelation 17:16, where the Beast devours the Harlot.  The apostate leaders who accused Jesus were then destroyed, and as we know, there's a great and terrible Day of the Lord coming, when that's exactly what's going to happen. The Beast is going to devour and destroy the Harlot and burn her flesh with fire. So the Beast was basically made a believer in the God of Daniel, just as in the time of Nebuchadnezzar; and, by the way, Daniel chapter seven speaks of the end-time. We know the timing of Daniel's Tribulation because he gets a revelation of the four Beasts, and from his time, which was the time of Babylon onward, is when his revelation started. His vision didn't start with the Egyptian and Assyrian Beasts, which were two that came before Babylon. The Beasts of Revelation, however, start with those two that came before Babylon. Daniel mentions the four Beasts that lead up to the end-time Beast. There was the lion with eagle's wings (Babylon) that was conquered by the Media-Persian bear, then by Greece, then Rome. He was prophesying again of the image of the Beast.  In today's end-times, these entities are still with us. The Lion with Eagle's wings is the British Empire, and the Eagle's wings are the present head of the British Empire and America. This is the Great Eagle, which was then and will be today conquered by the Medo-Persian Bear. So not only were these historic, from Daniel's day on, but they're also an end-time revelation of what's going to happen. We find that this last Beast that he talks about, which was Rome, devours the whole earth. The last Beast, he tells us, was headed up by 10 horns, exactly like Revelation 17. The 10 horns are the ten kings that rule over the Beast kingdom. Among those 10 horns comes up a little horn (Daniel 7:8) that's different, it says, from the rest of the horns. That little horn is a ruler among rulers that will be diverse from all of the 10, and it is the corporate False Prophet. (Dan.7:21) … The same horn made war with the saints…. There it is again! They'll make war on the Man-child and the saints, which is exactly what we see in the rest of the Book of Esther. (Dan.7:23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth…. We have had the United Nations, whose place is being taken by the Alliance of nations. The whole earth is inside the body of the last Beast. GESARA Law was signed unanimously by all 209 countries in 2015. Remember that in Daniel's vision of the legs of the image of the beast, Rome lasted from the thighs all the way down to the toes – the iron that was mixed with the clay. It is different in these days because now it has covered; it has devoured, the whole earth. And among those 10 kings is the little horn that comes up to make war on the saints. (Dan.7:20) ... Before which three fell, even that [horn] that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows. (21) I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; (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.  So we see the Beast has been given authority to crucify Christ once more. It says that he “prevailed against them.” This False Prophet and the Harlot beneath the False Prophet have been given authority to crucify the flesh of the saints. It doesn't necessarily mean that all will die; that's not the point here. The point is the crucifixion of the flesh of the saints. The Church is in rebellion because the flesh rules. The Beast, in a spiritual way, is ruling over them already because their flesh rules over them already. There has to be a crucifixion for us to bear fruit and come into the Kingdom; therefore, God is raising up this whole worldwide kingdom to come against His people. The little horn represents a religious entity because it's different from the other horns. They are corporate bodies of secular rulers, but the little horn is a corporate body of religious rulers who will bring God's people to their cross, much like they did to Jesus in His day. This is the seed of that same Sanhedrin that's being raised up in our day, no different from the earlier one. The Sanhedrin in natural Israel has been raised up again, and the Sanhedrin in spiritual Israel has been raised up again, too, to crucify the body of Christ again. God just repeats history in larger and larger ways. The spiritual man is not going to be conquered, and the quicker we learn to submit, the more we will be like Daniel, in that the lions' mouths will be closed. The Beast will not be able to devour Daniel. The fire of the fiery furnace, heated seven times hotter, will not be able to devour the three Hebrews because they have refused to eat the king's dainties and they refused to bow down to the image of the Beast, just like Daniel. What we see in Esther is clearly a prophecy of the end-time. The persecution that was raised up against Mordecai, who was over all God's people of the kingdom, will be repeated in our day. Remember, the Beast decided to kill the people of Mordecai. The people of Mordecai, of whom we are speaking, include the Bride, but just as Jerusalem is only part of the Kingdom, the Bride is only part of the people of Mordecai. Not everybody in the Church is going to follow the Man-child. All the righteous Jews in the rest of the kingdom will be delivered from the Beast through the righteous leadership of Mordecai, the Man-child, and Esther, the Bride – a leadership that refused to bow down and a people that refused to bow down, respectively. The true people of God will not bow down. The rest will worship the image of the Beast; they will bow down. God is sending a separation in the form of this image of the Beast. The people who have no faith in their God, no commitment to their God, will find it easier to justify themselves and bow down to the image of the Beast, even change their doctrines, if necessary, and submit to the Beast kingdom. The true people of God are represented by the people of Mordecai, who discover that this leadership is truly the right leadership, like the people who followed Jesus in His day. This represented a people from among natural Israel who were a first fruits to follow Jesus diligently, just as it will be in our day. (Joh.3:29) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom…. Even if a person didn't come up to the standard of the Bride which Jesus raised up, He sent them forth unto every place He was about to go to fulfill the Great Commission. The apostles raised up the five-fold ministry as the leadership for the rest of spiritual Israel, just as the latter-day apostles will for the Church. We have some great days coming, some wondrous days. In Esther 3:7-8, it is also revealed that God's people had been rebellious, and that's the reason this is coming today. The best thing we can do is learn to serve the true and living God. Don't bow down to the Beast.

Signs of the End: Lies, and persecution. Falsehoods have been loose in our world since that late unpleasantness in the Garden. False Christs were luring people after them even before the real one appeared, 2,000 years ago. And let's reluctantly add one more sign: Persecution of the people of God.

The war with Iran has been scripted for decades. So true is this statement that it was explicitly predictable the second Trump administration would initiate it even before the election in 2024. How was this known and how did shows like The Secret Teachings broadcast this back then? Americans are now relegated to a same series of labels used during the Bush administration: you are either with us or against us; just as WMDs and Terrorism have been used to justify breaking fundamental promises. The bottom line is we were lied to by the Trump administration repeatedly. Americans been duped and threatened by a foreign government and have done their bidding once again. This is not a sovereign country. It's a joke. Run by pedophiles and mass murdering religious whackos:CNN reported the following: "Ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, worshippers read the specific portion from the Old Testament, known as Zachor. The passage from the book of Deuteronomy commands the ancient Israelites to remember an unprovoked attack by the nation of Amalek and to eradicate the memory of Amalek once the Israelites are settled in their land. The passage is read publicly before Purim to fulfil the mitzvah of remembering Amalek as Israel's archetypical enemy.”Deuteronomy 25:17 instructs: “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt." The story of Purim can be found in the later story told in the Scroll (Book) of Esther. In Hebrew, the word Megillah (scroll) shares a root with Galuí, meaning “to reveal,” while Esther stems from Hester, meaning “hidden.” Purim is thus literally about “revealing the hidden.” In fact, the primary commandment of Purim is to hear the Megillah read out loud from a physical parchment scroll. Zachor simply means “remember.” Specifically, it refers to the commandment in Deuteronomy. The Greek word apokalupsis, from apokaluptein, is where we obtain the word apocalypse. Although the word means to “uncover” or “reveal” the spiritual reality behind worldly events—particularly as they relate to the changing of the four seasons (four horses), or the lifting of the veil of nature—it has become associated with cataclysmic events and a final earthly war called Armageddon. What is interesting, and perhaps frightening to some, is that the Purim ritual is derived from the revelation of the hidden found in the name of the Scroll of Esther. Starting a war with these specific optics is akin to literally creating the optics of the apocalypse and eschaton!  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Let's get chunky! Recognizing the structure of what we're reading is crucial to understanding the material. We've mentioned it, and you've noticed it in your own studies and even casual reading. When we're trying to grasp what Jesus was telling us in Mark 13 about the End Times, we notice that He's built His discourse in "chunks." It isn't just a list of events; there are stages to watch for. Today we begin a sermon called, Signs, and the End.

Join our discussion as we see the scene move to Heaven after the Church has been raptured, in preparation for the coming 7-year Tribulation.

Signs in the Earth, signs in the Heavens! Mark informs us that it was Peter, James, John and Andrew who got a private audience with Jesus. Christ had just foretold the destruction of the Temple, and the four wanted to know about Heaven's timing. What the Lord told them surely shattered all their notions about the End, and the coming Kingdom. Today we'll look at what they learned, and how today's headlines may start to look like old news.

In this powerful teaching from Isaiah 64, we unpack the rich Hebraic background behind phrases like "rend the heavens," "come down," and "the mountains might shake." These are not random poetic expressions. They are layered idioms filled with covenantal, prophetic, and eschatological meaning. What does it mean to ask God to tear open the heavens? Why do mountains symbolize governments? How does this passage connect to Mount Sinai, the Exodus, and the future Tribulation? This study reveals: • The Hebraic meaning of "rend the heavens" • How "coming down" connects to Sinai and divine intervention • Why mountains represent kingdoms and authority structures • Israel's future national repentance in the Tribulation • The difference between spiritual salvation and physical deliverance • The biblical meaning of the Potter and the Clay • A contextual breakdown of Romans 9 in light of Jeremiah 18 • Why misunderstanding Hebraisms leads to theological confusion We also explore the personal application. When God delays intervention in our lives, what is He teaching us? How does remembering past deliverance build faith for future rescue? Understanding the Jewish background of Scripture brings clarity to passages that are often misunderstood, especially in debates surrounding sovereignty, free will, and replacement theology. If you want to understand the Old Testament foundations behind the New Testament, and how prophetic passages fit into God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations, this teaching will deepen your perspective.
