THE BOOK OF REVELATION Part 18

THE BOOK OF REVELATION
Part 18
“Lord of Victory” “King of Majesty”
~ ~ ~
Chapter 6 of Revelation through chapter 18 is the time of the 7 Year Tribulation (first 3 ½ years—antichrist false-peace, which is also known as "the lesser tribulation" or “the minor tribulation” followed by 3 ½ years of “the Great Tribulation”).
In chapter 6, we see that the Lamb of God opens the Scrolls and breaks the Seals, and in chapter 5, we see that He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah—the Root of David that prevailed.
He is the Lion and the Lamb!
All the hosts of Heaven with the myriads of angels will ascribe to Him worship in a great ‘victory chant’ declaring that He is worthy to receive 7 Divine tributary- Blessings.
Meanwhile, every creature in Heaven and on the Earth, and in the sea, and even under the earth [hell], will applaud THE FATHER, and THE SON—"King of kings" and "Lord of lords" in “a four-fold” praise:
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive Power, and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength, and Honour, and Glory, and Blessing.
And every creature which is in Heaven, and on the Earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and Honour, and Glory, and Power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever.
Rev 5:11-14 KJV

But, all whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will worship “the beast” who was given power to make war against the saints [tribulation saints] and to conquer them.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:7-8 KJV

The antichrist’s ascendancy is seen in Revelation 6:1-2, as the Lamb opens the first of the Seven Seals.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the Seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer (KJV).
For many years, "a rider on white horse" representing 'a conqueror bent on conquest' has been a replica used by the European Union, and some Masonic organizations.
“The antichrist” will claim to be a ‘messiah’ and will deceive many.
Our Lord Jesus said:
For many will come in My Name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
Matt 24:5 NIV

This mysterious rider on a white horse was given a crown; implying that this horseman is a leader who attains power without earning it through war or politics. According to the book of Daniel, he attains power through flatteries and intrigue, not political elections or military power.
This horseman is given power to overcome. He is not a warrior or general, he is an overcomer.  His reign on the earth will be temporal.
One out of every four people on the planet will be killed in the ride of “the fourth horseman.” They will die from: violence (the sword), famine, death, and crazed animals (beasts of the earth).
“The antichrist” will wreak havoc unlike any seen since the dawn of mankind.
The souls of Christian martyrs cry out for justice, as this is readily observable inside the Heaven, and they are told, ominously, to wait until the rest of the future martyrs are slain (Rev. 6:9-11). This verse is an indication that a great persecution of Christians is soon coming!
“Death” rides on ‘the pale horse.’
God’s Word declares that “death” is the last enemy to be conquered.


In Revelation 19, Jesus Christ thunders through the clouds on His white horse, with the saints of the Old Testament and the New Testament, riding forth majestically and victoriously to take over reins of the Earth.

The Beast out of the Earth

The Beast out of the Earth
“THE BEAST OUT OF THE EARTH” IS “THE FALSE PROPHET OF THE ANTICHRIST.”
He will exercise all the power [spiritual and political] of
the first beast before him.
“The false prophet” will exercise satanic authority passed on by “the antichrist.” He will operate his power on his behalf, and will dominate and control national armies of most world countries.

The diabolical ministry of “the false prophet of the antichrist” is to ‘exercise all the power of the first beast before him, and cause the inhabitants of the earth to worship the first beast [the beast out of the sea], whose deadly wound was healed.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:12 KJV
Also, he will implant “the mark of the beast”—diabolical implantable micro-biochip upon the inhabitants of the earth, and through this device subjugate the world and its governments by “Mystery Babylon.”
He will enslave multitudes of people of every nation, and seize control of economies and ecommerce of most of the world’s cities.
This is satan’s assigned task to “the false prophet.”
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Rev 13:16-17 NIV

God’s Word prophesies that “the false prophet of the antichrist” will attain political power; this is why it says:
“…he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him” (v.12a).
Most people do not know this!

A New World Order is coming and "the Man of Sin" has already been revealed to "the Bride!"
Note that, our adversary, the devil—“the dragon” devised his “satanic trinity” — satan himself is the head of it, and next in line is “the antichrist,” and then, his false prophet.
“The antichrist” receives satan’s authority, throne, and power (see Rev. 13:2) and he delegates this power to his false prophet (v. 12). The authority and power of satan the dragon will be fully activated in the personality of “the false prophet of the antichrist” –the man who will exercise ‘the authority of the beast’ on his behalf. This is the means by which satan will unleash his wrath upon the earth.
The devil by his “occult theocracy” fashioned “the man of sin” after his own likeness—having all the characteristics of sin, wickedness and evil in him.
By consensus and by war, “the man of lawlessness” [the antichrist] will rule the world in a 7 year period (first 3½ years of minor tribulation, and last 3½ years of the Great Tribulation).  Right now, he already has indirect control of global political power through his movement of ‘globalization.’ He already has indirect control of world-wide economies through his ‘cashless monetary systems,’ and he already has indirect control of world religion through his ‘movement of ecumenism’— ‘global religion.’ His ascendancy to global power and rule was prophesied; he shall be finally revealed:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thess 2:3-4 KJV

Jesus is crying so much now because He has to use the adversary of His people in "the New World Order to purge the saints that will be left behind in "the Great Tribulation."
He says My Divine Protection is about to be removed from this Earth!

AMERICA! Wake up! The Enemy is in your own backyard!

It is “the spirit of the antichrist” that speaks against CHRIST. It never acknowledges JESUS CHRIST, and is already in the world, today.

Revelation chapter 13 talks of two “blasphemous beasts” which blasphemes against GOD.

BE WARNED!!!
“The beast out of the earth” aides and abates "the antichrist." He is the antichrist's enforcer.
 “The beast out of the earth” [the false prophet of the antichrist]—‘the Man of Sin’ has been REVEALED!
He has already entered into the realm of human politics, yet many do not even know this!
He is a prophesied ‘blasphemous beast.’
In this NEXT Video of 9-11 [September 11, 2011] 10th Year Anniversary Memorial speech in the US, you will see “the man of sin”—‘the lawless one’ who blasphemes against GOD ALMIGHTY. This shows you that the prophecy of “the Man of Sin” is already being fulfilled right before our very eyes!

Not For Me!

Not For Me!
Have You Observed Lately the Introduction of the Implantable Biochip Technology by Governments for Citizens within their federal, state, regional or local jurisdictions for social and welfare programs?
Well, if you have not observed this yet, take your time to browse through the media and internet, and you will surely stumble on something worth noting.
Or, are you a part of those who would rather argue all day long, and call those who comment on this based on revelation, or research, a bunch of idle-minds?
Make no mistake; Bible prophecy is absolutely correct in all cases, no matter what.
There is the implanted biochip which has the ‘soon-to be distributed’ 666: “mark of the beast.”
There are plans by people in the occult—the Illuminati, the Freemasonic, and several sociopolitical organizations and agencies such as the UN and WHO to biochip humans in the near future.

The false prophet of the antichrist will force both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive “the mark of the beast”:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.
Rev 13:16-18 KJV

*** BEWARE OF ***
National Identity Number (NIN)
It will soon be distributed!
The Lord revealed it to me precisely 14 days before it was even publicized on the airwave and internet!
It is a biochip oriented system which will be connected with identity management systems, social and welfare programs, as it will also be linked with electronic payment systems, data systems, et cetera.

DO NOT GET BIO-CHIPPED!!!
Have nothing to do with NIN; it is “666” – “the mark of the beast.”
NEVER GET CHIPPED ON THE RIGHT HAND!
NEVER GET CHIPPED ON THE FOREHEAD!

“Obamacare” and “NIN” like other government programs that will soon be setup are biochip oriented.
At an end result, they are all one and the same. They are being circulated by “the beast government.”

BEWARE!
BE WARNED!
YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD!!!

Such are designed to work with biometrics, biochips, bar code systems et cetera.

In recent times, governments have already endorsed systems that will require of people: proper identification to distinctively record, analyze, and process individual personal data of citizens. 
Such identification process will ultimately result in the implant of a literal inject able passive RFID transponder with a computer chip — a literal injection with a literal electronic biochip, which is a "mark"—“the mark of the beast,” as prophesied in the book of Revelation.

People will be requested to get biochipped so that they can gain access to services, such as withdrawal or deposit of money in the bank.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev. 13:17 KJV

The world’s economy is gradually becoming totally chip oriented!
IF YOU BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS, DETERMINE IT IN YOUR HEART THAT “THE BIOCHIP SYSTEM” IS NOT FOR YOU!
WHEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GET BIO-CHIPPED, SIMPLY WITH A STERN TAKE SAY “NOT FOR ME!”

The mark of the beast, as related in Scripture, is absolutely literal. Soon, all people on earth will be coerced into accepting this mark in their right hand or forehead. It will be an inject able passive RFID transponder with a computer chip — a literal injection with a literal electronic biochip. This implantable identification system literally will become satan's mark of the beast.
It is linked with L.U.C.I.D. worldwide control net, which is the central station of the mysterious and diabolical mark of the beast.
A biochip can store and update a person’s financial, medical, demographic data, basically everything about the person—an individual's "electronic life".

WHAT THEY TELL YOU IS THAT:
They are issued and used by governments of countries as means of tracking citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes of work, taxation, government benefits, health care, and other governmentally-related functions.
But, the truth is that they represent the Bible prophesied “mark of the beast.”

Note: Governments’ administrations and agencies who circulate this ‘mark’ which is coded in biochip, will never tell you that it is “666.” They will never tell you something like: ‘go and take the mark of the beast or, go and take the number 666’ as that will make the fact very obvious.
But, rather, they tell you, “go and get bio-chipped so that you can buy or sell; they tell you it’s for the purpose of obtaining a welfare package or government program.

When people are coerced into receiving a biochip to perform the necessary everyday functions, such as financial transactions, medical insurance, security, identification; tied into a global, centralized computer system, it would be a simple matter for “the Big Brother” and all its associated agencies and operators in the New World Order to "disable" people’s ability to "buy or sell."

Crucial Note: THE MAIN REASON the false prophet of the antichrist will give people the mark of the beast is worship and allegiance to the Antichrist. NOT JUST the right to "buying and selling"!
But, the mark is a proof of worship and allegiance to the beast, and that is why GOD WILL PUNISH all who worship and receive the mark of the beast.

BEWARE OF THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!
IT IS THE MARK OF the New World Order!

In Revelation 16:2 a "noisome and grievous sore" falls upon those who receive the mark of the beast.
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image (KJV).
“Noisome and grievous sore” means ugly and painful sore; a foul sore, more deadly and more painful than ulcers.

THE ONLY WAY to not take the mark of the beast is to receive THE SEAL OF GOD.
Those who do not have this Seal will be harmed in the time of “the Fifth Trumpet” (see Rev. 9:4).

CHRIST JESUS PROMISED HIS SAINTS WHO KEEP THE WORD OF GOD—AND HIS COMMAND TO ENDURE PATIENTLY IN THE CHURCH AGE—THAT HE WILL KEEP THEM FROM “THE HOUR OF TRIAL” WHICH IS COMING ON THE WHOLE WORLD.
"Because you have patiently obeyed Me despite the persecution, therefore I will protect you from the time of Great Tribulation and temptation, which will come upon the world to test everyone alive.
Rev 3:10-11 TLB

How would the LORD keep His saints from such ‘hour of trial’?
He will do this by the RAPTURE, which is ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
Satan knows this, and that’s why he has already commenced his ‘666’ program in disguise, EVEN WHILE MANY OF GOD’S CHILDREN ARE UNAWARE OF IT!

PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY! THE OMNISCIENT (All Knowing) GOD!
HE will protect His ‘Called-Out-Church’—the sheep of His pasture from the greatest distress in the world, because she patiently obeyed Him despite the persecutions and troubles in the Church Era.
The people who truly in their lifetime served GOD faithfully on the Earth, shall be Welcomed into His Eternal Dwellings, and they shall behold His Face and His Name shall be written on their foreheads.
And they shall see His face; and His Name shall be in their foreheads.
Rev 22:4 KJV
But, all those who take the mark of the beast on their forehead or on their right hand will not and cannot receive “The Name of the LORD” on their foreheads and neither will they be sealed with “THE SEAL OF GOD.”

THE NAME OF THE LORD—THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD is only for those who are Born of GOD.
“…whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1 John 5:4 KJV

In Just One Generation

In Just One Generation
I believe there is only one appropriate place to begin this study, for everything that I will write about in this study has occurred, or is occurring, in only one Biblically specified “generation.” The Parable of the Fig Tree In Matthew 24:32-35 the Lord Jesus Christ gave to His disciples what is commonly referred to as “The Parable of the Fig Tree.” See also Mark 13:28-31 and Luke 21:29-33. This parable was given right after the Lord had concluded the prophecies set forth in the preceding 31 verses of the chapter. In the verses which follow this parable (24:36-51; 25:1-46), the Lord simply expanded upon the prophecies already set forth in the first 31 verses. This arrangement of the Lord’s discourse makes it obvious that the Lord Himself placed great emphasis on “The Parable of the Fig Tree.” This parable is very important. Is there a reason for this?
Notice that the Lord instructed His disciples to “learn” the parable. Therefore, any one claiming to be a “Christian” that refuses to study and “learn” the truth that is taught in this parable is willfully disobeying the Lord Himself. Read John 14:21-24. It is sad that many of God’s people [not all] read Matthew 24 and yet pay little or no attention to this parable, and don’t really have a clue as to what it means or why the Lord inserted it in His Olivet Discourse.

The Fig Tree
When we obey the Lord and study this parable, what we “learn” is that the “fig tree” is symbolic of Israel. This is indisputable for anyone wanting to deal honestly with God’s Word, for such is clearly taught and stated in Jeremiah 24:4-7 and Hosea 9:10, and is used in such a manner in many other Scriptures.
The “Parable of the Fig Tree” then speaks prophetically of the re-establishment and expansion of the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel became a reality in modern times on May 14, 1948. The certainty of this prophecy coming to pass was emphasized by the Lord when He followed the parable by saying, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away” Matt. 24:35).
That this parable prophetically teaches the re-establishment of the nation of Israel was unwittingly verified when the newly established nation issued their first postage stamp. That first stamp was imprinted with a picture of a fig tree budding. Glory to God! Coincidence…?? Or was it the hand of God?

The tender branch
When the nation of Israel was re-established, it was only a “tender branch.” Many people in high places, supposedly friends of the Jewish people, had predicted that when the Jews declared themselves an “independent” nation, the Arab nations would wipe them out. But it didn’t happen! Little David beat Goliath right into the dust! When the Jews declared their independence, the whole Jewish population in the Holy Land numbered only about 350,000 people. They went to war against the Arab nations who have a combined population of a hundred million people, and yet God gave Israel the victory! Glory! Praise the Lord! The “tender branch” had succeeded in “sprouting” again. Read Job 14:7-9 and give praise to God.
The newly formed nation of Israel remained a “tender branch” for the next 7 years. But then in the 8th year the Lord began to “toughen them up.” In 1956 the Jews had to fight the “Suez Canal War.” Once again, the odds were overwhelming, but again God gave them the victory. The “tender branch” had been buffeted in the storm, and had survived and began to grow with new life. The population of Israel began to increase as Jews in other countries began to realize that Israel was here to stay, and they started coming “home.” Read Jeremiah 24:6.

Putting forth leaves
Eleven more years passed during which the population of Israel steadily increased. Then in 1967 Israel showed the whole world just “how tough” the “tender branch” had become. That year Israel fought the “Six Day War.” In just six days God again gave Israel victory over the combined forces of the Arab nations. In that war Israel regained control of their beloved city of Jerusalem, the Sinai Peninsula, and the West Bank, known to the Jews as “Judea and Samaria.” The “tender branch” in just six days had “put forth leaves.”

All these things

Now carefully notice the next statement made by our Lord, “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” Remember that the Lord commanded His disciples to “learn” this parable. See what things. Know what is near. In other words, the Lord was telling the disciples that when “all these things” that He had predicted in the preceding 31 verses were happening at the same time, then the disciples would “know” that “the kingdom of God is nigh at hand,” Mark 13:29-31. Read Mark’s account for yourself. The Lord said in Mark’s account that the “it” in Matthew’s account is “the kingdom of God.” Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! 

Blessed is HE that Cometh in the NAME of the LORD


Behold I stand at the door


Thou art my Rock




God is my Strength and Power


Blessed is the man that endures


The LORD is Righteous in all His Ways


Israel Destined for Deliverance

Israel Destined for Deliverance

"We are on a countdown to crisis.
A nuclear showdown with Iran is apparent.
The battle for Jerusalem has begun.
This war will affect every person on planet Earth."
                                                 PASTOR JOHN HAGEE
There is a prophesied "10 Nation European confederacy" symbolized by the “ten horns" in Revelation 17.
Note that, in 1973, Britain, Denmark and Ireland joined the EEC, making it a union of 9 nations.
In 1981, Greece joined making them 10.
They became the political and economic framework of a United Europe [Fortress Europe].
They are uniting against God; they unite against Israel, and against the Church.
What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord!
How strange that men should try to outwit God!  For a summit conference of the nations has been called to plot against the Lord and His Messiah, Christ the King. 
Psa. 2:1-2 TLB
The kings of the Earth are taking positions, leaders conspiring together, against Adonai and His Anointed.

The way to the "Gog and Magog War" has already been paved on the corridors of global politics, today.
Gog and Magog War is recorded in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

Israel had her independence in 1948, and fought “the War for Independence" from 1948 to 1949; the 1956 War; the Sinai Campaign; the Six Day War in 1967; and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. In all these cases, Israel was attacked. They were never the aggressor. They won all wars against impossible odds.

Today, the nuclear storm clouds are gathering over Iran and Israel, casting a long shadow on America and the nations of the world!
Iran's nuclear arsenal is almost ready, and will impact the world as never before imagined!
War in the Middle East is evidently escalating in fulfillment of Isaiah 17.

Here is a synopsis:
According to Daniel 9 there is a period of 62 Years during which Jerusalem will be restored.
The 62 Year count started in May of 1948.
After the 62 years are over, then a 7 year period is left before the Messiah comes back and establishes His Messianic Kingdom; that is the tribulation period of Revelation.

Signs to expect:
1. Nations of the world will come against Jerusalem.
Things that will lead to this event have already begun.
A past US president turned his back on Israel and told them to divide Jerusalem or face the full wrath of America, Europe and the rest of the world economically. Who would have ever believed that America would do this?
The consequences for this betrayal will be great.

2. This war is a physical war where the whole world uses their proxies to carry out their hatred against God's chosen people; the tribulation saints and Israel—even the US will stand by and do nothing to help.
God will help Israel!

Prophet Zechariah records in the book of Zechariah chapter 12:
This is the Word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, Who stretches out the heavens, Who lays the foundation of the Earth, and Who forms the spirit of man within him, declares: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.  Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.'
"On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
"The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a Spirit of Grace and Supplication. They will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, and all the rest of the clans and their wives.
NIV

The time of "Jacob's trouble" will be both a time of great chaos and calamity as well as a pouring out of the Spirit of God on the house of Israel as the world we see the hand of God working on behalf of Israel.

"Those nations who align with God's Purposes will receive His Blessing. Those who follow a policy of opposition to God's Purposes will receive the swift and severe Judgment of God without limitation."
PASTOR JOHN HAGEE

Who Is A Jew?

Who Is A Jew?
The raging controversy of “Who is a Jew?” has been a hot-button issue among “the Seed of Abraham” for more than two thousand years.  Modern Israel, with its Zionist principle of ‘the right to return,’ offers to any Jewish person in the world the privilege to live in Israel and creates the heated debate, “Who is a Jew?”
Romans 9:6 declare that not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

When Christ was born in Bethlehem, the nations of Israel as a whole was going about its business with little true faith. It was only a few, like Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and Zacharias, “who looked for redemption in Jerusalem” (Luke 2:38).
When Jesus began His public ministry and saw Nathaniel for the first time, He said, “Here is a true Israelite…” (John 1:47 NIV). This is exactly the distinction Paul is making in this chapter.
Paul’s prime example of a true Israelite was Abraham.
Abraham was not saved by circumcision, because he was declared to be righteous before God in Genesis 15:6, which was years before his circumcision.
Abraham was not saved by keeping the Law, because the Law was not given until the time of Moses, which was 400 years after Abraham’s time.

How did Abraham become a “true Israelite?”
It was by faith, not works, as indicated in Genesis 15:6.
Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.
Gen 15:6 NIV

In Romans 9:6 Paul is saying there’s a difference between all those who claim to be “Abraham’s descendants” and those who constitute Israel as “the people of God.”
Paul demonstrates, first, that Israel is a matter of election rather than birth (vv. 6-13). Not all those called “children of Abraham” (natural descendants) are actually his “seed” as demonstrated in Genesis 21:12, which states:
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
KJV

Remember that Abraham had two sons: first, was Ishmael, born to the Egyptian maid Hagar (see Genesis 16). Paul says, Ishmael, though a physical descendant of Abraham, was not of the “Seed” (sperma, Gk.) that produced Isaac, ‘the spiritual child.’
Isaac was born by a supernatural act of God, since both Abraham and Sarah were well past the age of childbirth.
In Romans 9:8, Paul shifts from “children of the flesh” to “children of God.” The shift is subtle but very significant.

Because Abraham’s spiritual “Seed” comes through God’s Promise and Power, the Jewish people are not simply Abraham’s seed, but quite literally God’s children.

Time Is So Short!

Time Is So Short!
According to God’s Word in the Bible, and the Revelation Knowledge of His Word, “the Man of Sin” (the Antichrist) will soon be revealed!
According to Jeanne Dixon, a world famous seer, “the antichrist” was born with a “constellation of stars” in 1962; the 6th year of the inception of EEC.
In 1987, European Economic Community (EEC) introduced a constellation of stars as their symbol representing 12 nations that made up the European Union as of 1986, when Portugal and Spain had joined the confederacy.
Now, here are a three series of number 6, esoteric with EEC programme of activities:
A total of 6 countries met to form EEC—that’s the first 6.
“The antichrist” incarnated in a man (given birth) in 1962—another round of 6.
In a ‘series of 6' after the year of the birth of “the man of sin,” a discovery of the sixth round terminates in 1998, the year when he clocked 36 years of age—the third round of number 6.
First round of six—1963 – 1968
Second round of six—1969 -1974
Third round of six—1975 - 1980
Fourth round of six—1981 - 1986
Fifth round of six—1987 -1992
Sixth round of six—1993 -1998
This all means that in 1998 “the antichrist” graduated as “the man of 666” at the age of 36.

Number 36 stands for “Enemy” in God’s numerology.

Satan “the dragon” has been ousted from his throne of darkness; he has been dethroned with his demons from the high places. Now, the devil knows that his time is short.
Therefore rejoice, you Heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short."
Rev 12:12 NIV

He led the rebellion of the fallen angels against God and His Kingdom and Government. He plotted extermination against “the Son of Man” when He was given birth as a “Child.”
His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her Child the moment it was born.
Rev 12:4-5 NIV

Satan’s "antichrist"—"the little horn" will persecute and kill "tribulation saints" [host of Heaven]. He will do this mysterious evil work for "the adversary of the saints."
And it waxed great, even to the host of Heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan. 8:10 KJV
The antichrist will kill many of the Jews. In violation of international agreements concerning the conventions of war, he will bring desolation to their Land.
Furthermore, verses 11 and 12 reveals:
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Jesus said, "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Luke 21:20-24 NIV).

Ezekiel 28:14-19 has the record of Lucifer’s first rebellion against GOD.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.
By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.'"
NIV

A passage in the book of Isaiah is parallel to this:
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High (Isaiah 14:13-14 KJV).

Letter Received Sept. 11, 2010
Write it down My Love. You are My Love. You are faithful and loyal. I know all. I am with you. I will never forsake you. Your love is true. But you need to listen to what I have to say. These are My Words. Write them down.
I am coming soon. All is ready for ME to come. The time is drawing near. It is closing in. We will fly away soon. All is prepared. Life here is drawing to a close. The peace on earth will be lifted and exchanged for darkness—it will be utter darkness. Souls will cry out for relief. They would not follow ME when I gave them a chance. Over and over I have tried to warn them. They refuse to listen. Their worldly pursuits were more important to them. You can’t have both ME and the world. My Love will never compare to this world. Their choice is a sad choice. (I think HE meant that they chose the world over HIM).

They need to run quickly to ME now, while there is time left. Soon this door will shut and all will go black. I am making My pleas through My humble servants—I am warning through disasters—I am putting up all the signs—and yet people will still not believe. What must I do to get through to them?

They are making their choices now. I cannot help if there will be regret later—I have given them ample opportunity to choose. The choice is theirs to make. I cannot plead forever. My Kingdom is coming and I am ready—ready to assume My role as King of kings and Lord of lords over all. This is My destiny to fulfill.

Time is short. I will take back My Kingdom—the people have a choice to make. My Promises will be fulfilled—all will come to pass as it is in My Word. My Promises are being fulfilled right now—I am true to My Word. The clock is ticking. The people must get ready—the evil nation is forming, while they stand idly by.

Allow me to rescue them or be swept away in the flood of what is coming. Please Church wake up! This is the final hour. Why are you so sleepy? The people are not being warned. Read My Word. There is nothing happening that has not been foretold. I am coming soon and it will either be a great moment or the worst moment. Choose what moment you want to live in—with ME in My Kingdom or with the enemy in his eternal kingdom. The lines are being drawn. You must decide. Love or hate—My Ways are simple—surrender to ME or be left behind to face destruction. I Love My children—but they must choose. I gave Myself for them—I ask no less of them.

Letter Received 8 Sept. 2010
“Listen to the speaking of My Voice. The days are getting darker. Soon all will be dark. The people need to see what is coming and hear My Voice. We are getting close to the end of this age. All is growing dark. These will be hard times for those left. My Love will sustain them, but it will be hard for them. All will be dark very soon.
Each day will be added upon another. The dominoes are falling—everyday will be worse than the previous. Headlines will continue to grow darker. Men’s hearts will fail them. Tribulation has begun.
Write it down. Today we are much nearer to the end than a week ago—each day we draw closer—it is coming. I am Coming. Life here is closing down. The people are leaving soon. It will come. It will come fast. The end is near.”

“Write it down. You have My permission to put those Words out. Now is the time. Do not delay. Time is short. Lives are at stake. We are nearing the end. All is getting dark. A perverse nation is forming—the ‘one world government.’
Write it down. Warn the people. Time is short. Darkness will prevail for a brief time in history and then I will come with My saints to destroy the enemy and all he stands for—for a time a time and a half. Anyone who wants to escape this madness needs to turn right now to ME, your Savior. There is no other way to the Father, but through Me. Don’t be deceived. There is no other way. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Deceptions are running amuck. The people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. They follow deception. The devil prowls like a lion looking for who he can destroy. Choose life, not death. You have a brief time left to choose. Choose ME and find Freedom…freedom to fly to safety among My Loved ones to Peace and Love Everlasting, Divine Love, Pure Love.
The people need to act now—turn before it is too late without ME. They will be lost and there will be no escape from hell. I can keep them from this destiny…destiny to destruction. My Way is Peace, Wholeness, Forgiveness, Truth, Love. My Way is Righteous. With My Right Hand I guide, guard, protect. I am a Loving God. But to reject ME is death, eternal demise, eternal loss. There is no turning back once you have made this choice.

Don’t be deceived by the world—the world is corrupt. It is an enmity to ME. I will spit it out and all it stands for. Time is short. Choose life or death. I am Life. Choose ME, choose Beauty, choose Love, and choose well.”
