As we continue on with our trek through the book of Revelation, we now leave chapter 13 discussed in the previous two articles (here) and (here) and arrive at chapter 14. Following the rise of the Antichrist, the Apostle John receives a parenthetical vision laying out major events during the last half of the Tribulation Period. Because the Antichrist requires a mark on the forehead or right hand of every person in the world, John opens the fourteenth chapter with a contrasting view – showing 144,000 Jewish believers with God’s mark in their foreheads …
THE RISE OF WORLD GOVERNMENT 2
In the previous installment on Revelation 13, the dreadful “beast out of the sea” was discussed. It is a vast subject. The discussion thus far has only covered the first two verses of the chapter, along with several other biblical references. The focus has been to paint the beast as the ultimate fulfillment of the “times of the gentiles” that began with Nebuchadnezzar. It represents Gentile domination over Jerusalem. In its final stages, it represents the man’s, and more specifically, the ruling elite’s dream of utopia – a world government that stands in defiance of God. All nations will be coerced into relinquishing national sovereignty and submitting to a global government.
PREPARING TO RIDE – THE SEALS OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder …” (Revelation 6:1).
At this point in the Revelation narrative, we have seen the Church Age come and go in the Seven Church Ages in the Dispensation of Grace. This Age of Grace concluded with the departure of all true born-again believers in Christ off of the earth in Revelation 4:1 before judgment struck the earth.
All of those who personally received Christ while on Earth during the Age of Grace are now in Heaven receiving (or in some cases losing) reward for their service performed (or not performed) for the Lord while on Earth during the time they were in their earthly bodies …
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
With that understood, it is most interesting to observe the divine and supernaturally influenced structure of the Bible that displays a providential fingerprint of authenticity. We see that fingerprint of authenticity on clear display when reading the judgments of the book of Revelation. As such, it should make it that much more certain in anyone’s mind that these judgments are certain to come to pass according to God’s prophetic plan as displayed in this most fearful and important book.

AMERICA THE VINEYARD 2: THE KEPLER STAR SUPERNOVA AND THE PROPHETIC BIRTH OF AMERICA
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years (Genesis 1:14).
In 1604, a new star appeared in the night sky that was much brighter than Jupiter and dimmed over several weeks. The event was witnessed by sky watchers including the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler. Centuries later, the debris from this exploded star is known as the Kepler Supernova Remnant. The year, grouping of specific planets involved and the constellation of its occurrence suggests a Providential announcement in the heavens that the beginning stages of the ultimate fulfillment Jesus’ prophecy of the vineyard had begun. That prophecy would prove to be the birth of the greatest and most influential nation the world would ever see. A nation that would be instrumental in declaring to the world not only the Gospel message of salvation through Christ, but also would bear the distinction of being a nation that would announce to the world his coming again. A nation that, in and of itself, would be a decisive marker in time that would prove to be a key piece of the prophetic puzzle signalling the beginning of the end of the Church Age.

RAISING HELL WITH CERN AND SATURN
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison“ (1 Peter 3:18-19).
Myths, legends and modern stories all testify that upon this earth, there were once powerful and evil super-human beings who took great pleasure in tormenting mankind. 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”
SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS: THE RARE CONJUNCTION OF PLANETS IN MAY 2000-2007 – THE SICKLE AND THE SOON DOOM OF MYSTERY BABYLON
As many Christian prophecy watchers are well aware, there have been numerous signs in the heavens taking place in the past several years. The tendency of many is to observe these signs with amazement and then to forget them as a sign no longer relevant with current prophetic implication. A yesteryear sign that “went nowhere” and was seemingly relevant then but not relevant to now, or some fuzzy variation of that. The next thought may be “oh well, let’s go get a cheeseburger and watch Breaking Bad reruns.” But what I will seek to do in this article is revive the staggering implications of a heavenly sign that occurred starting in the year 2000 – ending in the year 2007 – and show it’s divinely ordained significance to prophetic events taking place right now that this heavenly planetary conjunction sign seems to have been portending.
