Having just expounded on chapter 12 in the previous article in this chapter by chapter study of the book of Revelation, we are not only passing through the middle of the book of Revelation, we are halfway through the Tribulation Period as well. With the opening scene of chapter 13, we have arrived at what many of the prophets looked upon as the peak of history – the rise of world government with the Antichrist and his short-lived rule over the nations. Though he is not called Antichrist in this chapter, the Apostle John refers to him by that title in an earlier epistle …

“By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens … Lo, these are parts of his ways.
(Job 26:13-14).
The book of Job predates Genesis by several hundred years. Though it is part of the Bible, it was written about a man who lived at least four centuries before Moses composed Genesis. Job had no written Bible. The Bible this ancient pilgrim read consisted of a series of constellations that appeared in the night skies high above the earth. There are references to these constellations in the book of Job, along with an explanation of why they appear as they do in the heavens.

They were the old gods of tradition and folklore … Zeus, Apollo and their ilk. Were they merely figments of human imagination, or were they real? Are these the entities the Bible identifies as fallen angels masquerading as “gods” to the ancients? Many Christians and people in general do not want to believe that these demigods of old were real. With the development of the early church, pagan deities faded into the forgotten pages of folklore. Yet, the Bible refers to the “sons of God,” “fallen angels” and other demonic creatures who once tried to subvert humanity. They perfectly fit the description of the old demigods. The Bible reveals that they are now locked up and restrained in a place called “Tartarus” … Continue reading “RAISING HELL WITH CERN AND SATURN”
