Enter The Dragon

We just launched the official Unsealed Facebook Group last week.  All of our readers are welcome to join in and fellowship with us there or on the Unsealed Discussion Board.



 

The world has gone crazy.  I mean full-on helter-skelter crazy.  Romans 1 stuff.  Days of Noah and days of Lot stuff.  What has been 73+ years of prophetic buildup since the reestablishment of Israel is now a torrent overtopping the dam.  The dam will break.  The flood is coming.  Every single prophetic theme is resonating in continual, perfect concord.  We are literally witnessing the meltdown of the global order as the masses self-immolate over fear of a virus—brutal as it is—with a 98%+ recovery rate.  I've known many who have been sickened by the virus.  I don't want to make light of it—I've even heard through the grapevine of several who've died.  But the world's response to the pandemic is something far, far worse: a tyrannical, global police state that won't be overthrown but by God.  Don't for a second think the world is about to round this corner to a brighter future.  This is everything God's prophetic truth has been warning about.


Do you really think a global police state, with “us” (vaccinated) versus “them” (unvaccinated) and mass internment and democide, is somehow a better alternative?  Do you really think a world where you can't work, buy and sell, travel, or gather together without masks and papers is a better world?  It will come back to bite you, too.  Revelation 13:16–17 is coming.  It's practically here.





But it isn't just a virus driving the world mad.  It's the utter lawlessness and untamable immorality being perpetuated by a wicked generation completely detached from any religious or moral ethos besides Thelema of Aleister Crowley and Disney: “do as thou wilt” and “follow your heart.”



The heart [is] deceitful above all things, || And it [is] incurable—who knows it? (Jer. 17:9, LSV)



You do not do according to all that we are doing here today—each [doing] anything that is right in his own eyes. . . (Deut. 12:8, LSV)



There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (Prov. 14:12, ESV)



We're entering the brave new world of the beast and it's even crazier than what was portrayed in the 2006 movie Idiocracy.  This brave new world combines the madness of Idiocracy with the bloodlust of the Nazis.





. . .and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold. . . (Mt. 24:12, LSV)



And know this, that in the last days there will come perilous times, for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, slanderous, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unkind, without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, without control, barbaric, not lovers of those who are good, traitors, reckless, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of piety, but having denied its power. . . (2 Tim. 3:1–5, LSV)



All of the religious, political, and moral debates we've grown accustomed to are about to be settled.  The world is about to find out who is true and who is a liar.  I'm banking everything on God's perfect foresight.  Jesus' death and resurrection were the starting point for grace, Pentecost was the launchpad for the Church, May 1948 was the commencement of the final generation, and September 2017 was the sound of the Messiah's approaching footsteps.  He stands at the door.


Among those willing to give the astronomical alignment in September 2017 a fair hearing, there was widespread consensus it was, indeed, the fulfillment of Revelation 12:1–2.  It was the Great Sign foretold.  But what puzzled us all, and has continued to puzzle us since, is what comes next: the sign of the dragon, the falling stars, and the dragon standing ready to devour the child.  It is completely plausible that the second astronomical sign was fulfilled in October 2018 or December 2020, but what of the material aspect of this on the earth?  What about the dragon standing ready to devour?


God has allowed His children to remain on earth these past almost four years to find out.  The beast kingdom is rising although the beast himself is still hidden.  The dragon is positioning, even though he's not yet fallen to earth.  The world's response to the pandemic has been everything needed to set the trap.  It's not just Christians in imminent danger in Afghanistan, it's an asleep Church around the world, largely oblivious to the walls closing in.  More and more countries, regions, and cities are reentering lockdown, but compared to 2020 this time it will be much worse.  This time people will find themselves in a true police state with no ability to work, buy and sell, travel, or gather.


This makes it all the more interesting that for this brief moment in time the economy is surging and the marriage rate is booming.  This is the calm before the storm.  Perhaps no time in history better fits with Jesus' words in Matthew 24:



. . .and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man; for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.  Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left; two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.  Watch therefore, because you have not known in what hour your Lord comes. . . (Mt. 24:37–42, LSV)



As I watched the tragic events in Afghanistan unfold, I couldn't help but notice an uncanny resemblance between the aircraft debacle on the tarmac in Kabul—desperate Afghanis clamoring up the sides of the plane—and the scene of crowds surrounding Noah's ark after the flood began.  I then noticed several other friends on social media had already picked up on the same thing.  It's a picture.  A warning of what's coming.  Afghanistan is a microcosm.  The ark lifted Noah and his family above the floodwaters, but like the airplane, Christ, the true Ark, will lift God's children up into the sky (1 Thess. 4:16–18).







It's ironic that the specific plane emblazoned on virtually every media site and news network is number 11099/11/2001 is what precipitated the invasion of Afghanistan to begin with.  This tragedy in Afghanistan came 19 years, 11 months, and five days after 9/11/2001.  And we routinely speak of Balaamic prophecy—that God's sovereign voice continuously echoes through all of creation.  God's enemies Balaam and Caiaphas both prophesied truth.  Is it any wonder, then, that Balaam is, alphabetically, the 1,109th Hebrew word in the Bible?  Do you really want to chalk that up to coincidence?  The sovereignty of God is what leaves men without excuse, because His truth is revealed every moment of every day.



. . .for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable. . . (Rom. 1:20, LSV; cf. Ps. 19:1–4; Acts 17:26–28)



We can even see the greeting Paul gives in all of his letters playing out right now with tropical storms Grace, Fred (“peace”), and Henri (“lord” or “ruler”) traversing land and sea simultaneously:


Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.



Creation is constantly testifying to the truth of God and verifying the words He has already spoken.


Contemplating the dragon standing ready to devour, the Church would seem to be largely asleep according to Revelation 12:4–5, for an unborn child knows nothing of the world outside the womb.  This is similar to what Paul spoke of in 1 Thessalonians 5, that the rapture would take both those awake and asleep, so long as they were indeed God's children.  The dragon crouches to attack, but the unaware child is rescued to safety—born into Heaven before Israel enters the pain of the Tribulation (Isa. 66:7–9), before the dragon's jaws snap shut.

Although those of us who study prophecy have observed the dragon positioning himself to attack and have been very aware that the Church has come to a Red Sea moment, most of God's children have been asleep and aloof.  The tragedy in Afghanistan has suddenly awoken many of them.  They may not be aware that the whole Church is in danger, but they're now on their hands and knees praying for the imminent rescue of our brothers and sisters in danger from the Taliban.  While we all face tribulation in this life for His Name's sake, may we all be rescued from the Tribulation to come.  Maranatha.






In Other News...



As of when the 8.1 magnitude earthquake struck the South Sandwich Islands last week, about two weeks after an 8.2 in Alaska, 2021 has become the second-worst year of earthquakes since before Israel became a nation.  Only 2007 has exceeded 2021 in the number of earthquakes over 8.0 (four vs. three).  Nearly half of years don't even have a single earthquake over 8.0.  The average is about one per year.  You'd have to go back to 1946 to find anything comparable to 2007 or 2021.  There have also been a string of big quakes in the 7.0+ range of late, including a 7.5 also in the South Sandwich Islands, a 7.1 in the Philippines, and the tragic 7.2 in Haiti that has killed nearly two thousand people.


The South Sandwich Islands appear like a seven-dotted crescent.  There's technically nine islands (two of the seven are binaries), but it looks like seven equidistantly placed.  The 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit right next to the 8.8km-long middle island (#4 below) on which is Mount Michael, one of only 8 lava lake volcanoes in the world.  Is Michael ready to stand up?  Are the seven stars ready to be snatched up?


And think about the theme so many of us have noted the past few months: it's a Red Sea moment.  Like the Israelites were sandwiched between the sea and Pharaoh's army, so the Church is sandwiched between the gaping jaws of the dragon and the seemingly insurmountable heights of the heavens (the proverbial “waters” above the earth).  The dragon is standing ready to devour.  The powers that be have planned and plotted an authoritarian takeover using the pandemic as the vehicle.  Revelation warns of pharmakeia pharmakos four times (Rev. 9:21; 18:23; 21:8; 22:15).  Job 3:8 has an allusion to the beast from the sea (leviathan; cf. Rev. 13) being roused by those who pierce/bore/penetrate/prick.  So much is falling into place.





Finally, alien deception themes are picking up again.  The Hegelian dialectic is in full force:


1. From the left you have JJ Abrams' four-part docuseries that just came out on Showtime.





2. From the right Tucker Carlson is releasing an episode on Thursday explaining how the Pentagon's UAP report basically acknowledges aliens.





3. There have been a litany of new UFO reports, including over London, and an obscure New Age woman with a substantial following on Reddit, named Añjali, just gave a press conference at the Lincoln Memorial about the government making contact with aliens.  Here is the press release.


Between renewed lockdowns worldwide (in Australia and New Zealand they're telling residents not even to speak with neighbors) and the coming alien deception, there is a massive effort underway in preparation for mass deception and coverup following the rapture.  You don't want to be here for what comes next.





ARE YOU READY FOR WHAT IS COMING?  Faith in Jesus and what He accomplished on your behalf is the only thing that will save you from what is coming.  Are you still bearing your sins, or have you accepted that He died for your sins and rose again?  Today is the day of salvation.  You're not promised tomorrow.  Get on the Ark, because the flood is coming.



 A dmit that you're a sinner.

 B elieve that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again.

 C all on the Lord Jesus Christ to save you.

  3. Another sign of the times is the worldwide persecution of Christians.
    Christians are not just at a "Red Sea moment" hemmed in by dictatorial mandates (versus laws) from those on high, but no longer allowed to gather and worship in many states, no longer given a religious exemption against harmful vaccines, no longer allowed the freedom of speech to express their views on hot-button, politically incorrect topics such as abortion, homosexuality, and trans surgeries for school children.
    The Left Behind series portrayed the Tribulation as BAD.
    If the authors had had an inkling of what the times would truly be like as evidenced by today's happenings, then they likely would not have sold as well - no one would have believed things could ever be THAT BADDDDD, especially in the United States.

  5. Jimmy Evans has a video that talks about wormwood hitting earth in 2029. So i Google it and nasa says a asteroid is gonna come REALLY close to earth on Friday April 13 2029 .. but in Jimmy Evans video he interview a scientist that says nasa calculations are wrong and that it will hit the earth. In revelation it takes about wormwood... I remember a couple yes ago unsealed posted a article saying one of the observatories saw something in space and they shut down observatory of what they saw .. maybe it was wormwood??? ALSO Jimmy Evans says the movie "Greenland " portrays what will possibly happen


    Has anyone looked up wormwood 2029 .. nasa

    2. Here's an interesting data point - about 17 days before that asteroid passes by, there's a 4-way conjunction between Mercury, Venus, Neptune and the Sun (with Venus/Neptune within 0°6' - very close!) And both are happening right before the end of a 7-year Shemitah time period (sept 9th, end of trib?) Looks like it might be a pretty intense period in time.

  7. It is quite possible that the antichrist will be elected as a political leader during the elections for the European Parliament in May 2024. And that during the years leading up to these elections the Revived Roman Empire, a federation of 10 European nations, will be formed during a time of unprecedented turmoil and anarchy, caused by a war in the Middle-East and by rising costs of food, energy and fuel. The central theme of the elections of the European Parliament in 2024 could be about who will be the leader of that federation.

  8. I can't help but think that the globalist leaders a.k.a. Luciferic elite at the top of the New World Order pyramid set this whole Afghanistan "debacle" up as part of a deception. In other words, it really wasn't a "debacle." It was all going according to plan for a greater purpose to further along their NWO plan.

    6 QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK ABOUT THE AFGHANISTAN OCCURRENCE: SO WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON? - IS THE APPARENT TALIBAN "VICTORY" MASKING THE TRUE NARRATIVE?
    https://off-guardian.org/2021/08/17/6-questions-we-need-to-ask-about-afghanistan/

    That being the case, it's no secret to many that the Luciferian elite at the top of the pyramid know the Bible inside and out and commonly practice these subtle numbers and date rituals with the populace as, perhaps, part of the ritualistic process of the god they worship i.e. the numbers on the side of the C-17 Cargo plane corresponding with biblical themes i.e. Balaam and the fact that they would know that his name is the 1,109th word in the Bible etc. They worship Lucifer, so it stands to reason that they use the Bible as their occultic playbook.

    That said, it is indeed uncanny that as we see this war of the dragon and his earthly human proxy world rulers against the man-child bride of Christ play out, we are seeing the theme of our Red Sea moment with Pharoah's army on one side and the water (sky) on the other. When they throw their numbers and occultic practices in our faces like they do i.e. the Cargo plane, it shows us that the Lord is actually playing them by giving us prophetic clues within their evil narrative that resemble what God is about to do according to his biblical prophetic plan ... and that is to remove us to Heaven before the flood takes us under.

    It is interesting to me that, in this story, the prophetic picture of the lifting out of the Church from this world that Gary has pointed out emerges while looking at the plane of the one nation whose prophetic assignment it is to close out the Church Age with the light of the gospel in its role as the vineyard. It is that very nation that "happens" to be the very one carrying out this "operation." The one nation whose "lifting cargo" plane bears its identification on its side ... that of the USA. Given the prophetic role of the USA in God's plan for the Church Age, is it mere coincidence that we see a picture of the people being "lifted into the air" out of harm's way on a USA plane while those outside are left behind just two months after we saw the peculiar theme of repentance emerge in the form of a whale gulping a man into his mouth then spitting him out at a prophetically peculiar location? That location being none other than the genesis location of the fulfillment of the vineyard prophecy of Matthew 21.

    PROPHECY ALERT: HIGH WATCH TIME AS MAN IS GULPED BY A WHALE OFF CAPE COD - THE GENESIS LOCATION OF THE VINEYARD PROPHECY FULFILLMENT
    https://endtimesdarknessdescending.wordpress.com/2021/07/12/prophecy-alert-high-watch-time-as-man-is-swallowed-by-a-whale-off-cape-cod-the-genesis-location-of-the-vineyard-prophecy-fulfillment/

    For those who may have already read it, a new section of the posting has been added as of three nights ago since it was first posted. The new section is titled "The three Josiahs."

    It is in my observation that we can see yet another evidence inside yet another truth being displayed here within this story. That other truth is that when the USA has reached the Providentially allocated time point in it's assignment, the Church will be lifted up and disappear. Any coincidence that all of this is taking place as America has reached that 400 year prophetic cycle? Coincidence has nothing to do with it, but the Lord's intricate planning does.

    God seems to be giving us a grand panoramic picture view of what he is getting ready to do.

    Tick Tock ... the countdown is on.

    1. This all makes sense to me! I have personally felt that God is revealing spiritual lessons as played out in the physical world exponentially more than I have ever noticed before! So much so that I have often thought it might be me "over spiritualizing" everything, but it just keeps happening more and more and so much so that I become more and more convinced that that is another way God is teaching us and revealing himself these last days. Very much like the time during Jesus' ministry on earth when he used parables and illustrations from the physical world to teach spiritual concepts. I have often thought that this is why there is so much confusion in churches/pastors who want to assign allegory to the LITERAL words of scripture. They cant see there are BOTH levels to the teaching - they seem to think they have to choose one over the other, when BOTH apply. Just like you mention here, there was a LITERAL plane with LITERAL people clinging to it, which also gives the SPIRITUAL lesson of unsaved on the outside clinging to the "ark" during the rescue as the flood of destruction came as warned!!

    2. Speaking of that plane... there are many pointing out (on Gab) that it looks like an inflatable (rubber) plane like the kind Churchill used in WW2 to fake out Hitler. The big clue is the lack of division between the body and the windows. Look at the real plane, it has little bars around the windows to keep it in place and there's all kinds of other surface textures.

      I think we're all about to see what God's going to do. Whether the Rapture or something else, He's definitely doing something right now.

  10. Great find, dear Gary, on the 9/11 info. I have recently observed that in Rev 12:3 where the “dragon” was first mentioned in Revelation, by the time the “dragon” fully showed up, there are written 239 alphabet letters counting from vs 1 (King James Bible) in Rev 12. If I count from Rev 1:1, then there are 23,405 letters. The Law of First Mention usually gives an idea of strong significance. So, I cannot help but see 23/9/21 (21 being reverse of 12), and I hope we will be gone before then.

    Do check out Jeffrey McGaha YouTube channel who has documented the significance of the numbers 23/9 in predictive programming, as well as all over the Bible, pertaining to the coming dragon.

  12. Gary,

    This is a great article.

    There is a gap between the 3rd and 4th sandwich islands. This makes me think they represent the seven feasts of Israel.

    Therefore the earthquakes are telling us to watch out for Pentecost and the Feast of Trumpets, with a little more emphasis on the FOT. Personally I'm partial to Pentecost, but this makes me stop and think.

    If only we knew which year... It can't be long now.

    Europe running out of natural gas and people freezing to death, is this something which will happen after the Rapture of the Church? Shutting down the supply of natural gas to Europe can be used as a weapon when Russia is trying to invade Israel during the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war.

    1. There are countless examples around the globe. Then add the countless and unprecedented wildfires raging around the globe. Yet people continue to dismiss climate change, and looming climate related disasters, mostly on a political basis. Many of the coming catastrophes related to End Times won’t necessarily be “miracles”. God can and does punish people and populations by subjecting them to the consequences of their own actions. And there will be miraculous events as well. Everything rolls together.

      One more detail about the frame grab above of the Air Force C-17 Globemaster II heavy lift cargo jet (an ark by any other definition) taxing out of Kabul -- this was filmed on August 16, 2021. I know the serial number of the plane has become viral but has anyone considered the day count from this event to 9/11?

      Days Calculator: Days Between Two Dates (8/16/21 - 9/11/21)

      26-days.

      Hmmmm, we all know the number of the beast is 666 but many if not most of you will NOT know the number of the LORD.

      Hebrew letters and numbers are one in the same. The sum of the Name of the LORD, "יהוה" is 26.

      5 + 6 + 5 + 10 = 26 = "hey" + "vav" + "hey" + "yud"

      I find that interesting...

      Interesting too is that this event took place exactly one-month before Yom Kippur. Tragically, the shadow and actual day of judgement for some, as in the days of Noah, prefigured one-month before the day of Atonement.

      Also, how many days from 8/6/21 to Yom Teruah? (Feast of Trumpets)

      Days Calculator: Days Between Two Dates (8/16/21 - 9/6/21)

      21-days.

      7 + 7 + 7 = 21

      Hmmm, coincidence?

      Fasten your seatbelts folks. What many in the west will be marking as Labor Day will end with the beginning of the Sabbath rest for the land. A twice-blessed Tuesday will usher in the new (sabbatical) year and heralded in with 100 blasts of the Shofar...the last of which is the long drawn out blast bidding, calling the Messiah to come.

      Those who have followed Paul Dawson will know of the prophecies speaking of the two kings named Benjamin and the count based on a fourth event. Well, this weekend is a Blue Moon, the 4th full moon in a cycle that is normally three -- second full moon in the month. And what comes immediately after this 4th full moon? The sabbatical of the land of Israel. IIRC, Paul shared that the Jewish mystics claimed the Messiah would come on the next Sabbath.

      A stretch? Perhaps and I'm very willing to be wrong. So much more work to be done in the fields but I will keep looking, teaching, preaching and encouraging the saints as we see the coming of the Day.

      Bottom-line?

      Don't keep Jesus as a best kept secret. Share Him today with those the LORD gives to you. Share Christ with loving compassion and expect the Spirit to show up in a BIG way!

      Blessings,

  22. For those who wish to read more in-depth about the huge potential for the UFO phenomenon playing a part in End Time events, I could recommend a book entitled ‘Alien Encounters’ by Chuck Missler and Mark Eastman. Chuck Missler may be familiar to many of you already, having been the author of many books covering various Scriptural subjects. Alien Encounters offers a good blend of the history of the UFO phenomenon, and dovetails into the possible relationship to End Time events.

    Good books of this nature can be hard to find, with so much junk or misguided stuff on the market. This book strikes a good balance between secular and Christian aspects of the subject.

  23. What got my attention was that this gov't officials meeting with so-called ETs in a underground bunker. These are called D.U.M.B.S -deep underground military bunkers. These tunnel systems in the U.S. were built with C.I.A. black ops money and are quite numerous and interconnecting not just here but around the world. If some sources can be believed (Im not sure if I do) these "dumbs"are being dealt with here and abroad being blown up and collapsed. Things are definitely coming to a head, I cant see how it can continue much longer.

  24. Wow thanks for the information! Looking forward to the rapture sooner than later! I have a question, my pastor does not believe in dispensationalism. I think that's what it's called. He gives great messages and believes that Jesus can come back anytime and believes we must be born again. I am afraid to ask what he believes because I don't want to get into a argument with him as he knows a lot about the bible of course. I didn't know what a dispensationalism was until I recently looked it up and looks like we fall under that catagory. He said it was recent information about this. He said these people believe bad things are going to happen on the earth. He believes that there will be a big revival soon. I heard that there are some in the church that are pre trib but not sure who they are yet as I want to ask them before sitting with my pastor. He says that he is okay with people that believe this because we all believe the same about salvation. Inputs anyone? Also I have only been there about a year and just became a member a couple of months ago.

  25. Speaking for myself I believe that the "bad" things described in Revelation will happen eventually. Its inevitable.

    However, im open to the possibility that there could be a reprieve even as bleak as things look now and one last revival could occur. It sounds like your Pastor thinks that the tribulation can be avoided, perhaps I misunderstood that but if not I would have to disagree with that.

    Speaking to your question on revival . . . I am unequivocally convinced that the Rapture will happen first. And I ground my perspective on the undeniable fact that a convergence of prophetic events is unfolding NOW.

    Matthew 24:32-33
    “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is NEAR, even at the doors.”

    Luke 21:28
    “And when these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    So where does that leave us? Is revival still possible AFTER the Rapture? Well, I’m sorry, but I have no intention of sticking around long enough to find out.

    Essentially, while the general prediction for revival is not necessarily flawed, I believe that the TIMING of the issue is key. Eventually, a pastor will call for revival, and it will be too late.

    Likewise with the Anti-Dispensationalists. Because it has been almost 2,000 years, they have forgotten that knowing the truth of the Gospel of Salvation does NOT mean that Israel loses its role in the play. In his absence, Watson does not become Sherlock, if you will. Rather, the play is made more beautiful with teamwork; each character making his mark.

    From CompellingTruth.org . . .

    “A literal interpretation of the Bible may have its greatest and most divisive effect in the interpretation of what will happen in the end times. Dispensationalism holds that the church and Israel are two different entities, with whom God interacts in two specific ways. Unlike Covenant theology, dispensationalism teaches that the church did not inherit the promises God made to Israel. Although both the church and Israel receive salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus, the church is not a political/national entity and is not called to enforce God's standards on a nationwide or worldwide scale. With this distinction in mind, God's plan for Israel is yet to be fulfilled; Israel still has an essential part in the end times which will ultimately come to pass in the millennial kingdom (Revelation 20). God's attention is temporarily on the church, but will return to Israel when the church is raptured before the Tribulation."

  27. On Dispensationalism (from ProphecyUpdate.com)

    “Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most brilliant, scientific minds to ever live, was fascinated by Bible Prophecy. In fact, he seemingly spent more time studying that, than he did in his scientific endeavors. But he once stated…

    ‘. . . since the commandment to return precedes the Messiah . . . it may perhaps come forth not from the Jews themselves, but from some other kingdom friendly to them, and precede their return from captivity and give occasion to it. . . . The manner I know not. Let time be the interpreter” (Franz Kobler, “Newton on the Restoration of the Jews,’ The Jewish Frontier, 1943, from Newton’s Yahuda Manuscript, quoted in Moore, p.493).

    By this, Newton in the 17th century, understood, according to Bible prophecy, that the Jews would once again return to their ancestral homeland before Christ returned. He understood the basic outline of things that would have to come to pass, but he did not live to see them come to fruition. Thus, he was in a way, like the prophets of old…who foretold of the coming Messiah, but did not see how and when exactly God would bring this about . . .

    And so God plants us in the times we live in, and uses us and our gifted abilities, to speak to the things the Holy Spirit leads us to speak to. Whether you are Polycarp, or Martin Luther, we each address where mankind is in the times in which we live. It is to another quote from Newton I will conclude with…

    ‘About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.’

    And thus, he may have been predicting the Dispensationalist movement some 100 years later, who would insist upon a literal understanding of all Scripture…and this for sure, has brought about much ‘clamor and opposition’ from the rest of professing Christendom.

    Conclusion

    So while I attribute the Dispensationalist movement to be that final, maturing process for Christianity as a whole, at least from a theological perspective, we have now moved into the ‘post-Christian’ phase of the age where Dispensational teachings and doctrine are mocked and rejected. This is where, the knowledge has been put forth, understood, debated, tested, confirmed…and yet increasingly rejected, in order to accommodate a world that is increasingly regressing back into a state of spiritual and moral lawlessness. A significant portion of professing Christian denominations are caving on a number of moral and spiritual issues, which only emboldens those who hate Christ and the Cross.

    So, in keeping with the model of the Seven Churches as found in Revelation 2-3, we see the final stages playing out before our eyes, and know, that the last church age, is that of the lukewarm, nauseating church in whom Christ spews out of His mouth. The only upside to the tragedy of it all, is the Rapture of the true Church, which removes us from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. We are removed before the very hour, meaning, just prior to the world being plunged into the worst period of wrath and judgment it has, or will ever know.

    Even so, Maranatha!”

  28. One final thought . . .

    “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”

    After you read Romans 11:25, two things should become clear . . .

    First, there is clearly a time when the “fulness of the Gentiles” will be come in, and the Gentile Church will no longer be the focus of the blessings and events. Hence, Dispensationalism.

    And second, that Israel, in part, will not have the capacity to regain its sight until after that time comes, much like Paul, in Acts 9:18 . . .

    “And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”

    It has to be said, that if you need more proof that God would USE Israel’s blindness to prove a point, by renewing their nation at a later date, then look no further than John 9:2-3.

    “And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”

    And just to get your hopes up . . . is it mere coincidence that just 4 years from now, the Hebrew Concordance has this to say about the Hebrew years?

    5786 (starts Fall 2025) “to make blind, blind”
    5787 (starts Fall 2026) “blind”
    5788 (starts Fall 2027) “blindness”
    5789 (starts Fall 2028) “to lend aid, come to help”
    5790 (starts Fall 2029) “perhaps to help”

    While, concurrently, the same concordance has this to say about the Gentile years?

    2025 “Altar”
    2026 “To kill, slay”
    2027 “A slaughter”
    2028 “A slaughter”
    2029 “To conceive, become pregnant”

    Talk about a change in Dispensation! Does this represent the second half of the Tribulation?

    1. Jeremy, I have a firm believer in a pre trib! My pastor firmly believes that Jesus is the only way and we must be born again. He knows people that are disspensatialist are true believers.. me and some gentleman were talking among ourselves about people will not take the mark accidentally. Well the pastor during our study time today assured us that he believes the mark of the beast is unregenerated people. I believe that's what he called it. We are somewhat close but I want scriptures that shows that it is a literal Mark on hand and forehead. I know it says that in the bible but I'm sure he has a different interpretation. This church did so much for my wife before her and I met that I would hate to leave it. He is a great pastor and would do anything for anyone. But this really bothers me and I am not sure what to do. Been praying but I think I also would like opinions on what to do. He said that he is going to preach on revelation in the next year or so. And did say you can't preach Revelation without preaching on Daniel. Which I also believe. I want to talk to him but I'm sure he knows scriptures better than I do. Any ideas on what to touch on would be awesome! Thanks so much for your feedback! Do you think this is worth leaving the church over? God bless you all!

    2. Sounds like your pastor is solid enough in other basic and important areas, and it’s becoming clear just how scarce that can be, as time passes. I think departure should be slowly and carefully considered, and done only when you’re absolutely certain. You could find a church that’s solidly pre-trib, and be unhappy in other substantial ways. Speaking from my own perspective, there’s a sizable number of “solidly pre-trib” people who are displaying some rather unattractive aspects, as we get deeper into the hour. Such forces and pressures have a way of bringing out the worst, or at least tattered edges of people. The longer we go down this road, the more I’m seeing that “signs of the end” don’t reveal themselves solely among the “lost and wicked”. There are indications here and there among those who should by all logic have the greatest strength in faith, veering in directions that I find rather unattractive. I can’t help wondering how much damage will be done to Christian witness before the age of grace ends, and largely because of these people. Choose your spiritual company wisely.

    3. Paul talks about being puffed up when it comes to knowing more then others on certain topics but it is something to read up on in the epistles and pray on for sure. I’ll have to find the scripture in the New Testament. because a lot of the books were written by Paul.

  29. The word dispensation comes from the greek word Oikonomia. It is also translated Administration. Here in the US when a new President comes in we still have the same country but a new administration begins.

    From the time Adam and Eve were placed in the garden to the end- the creation of the new heaven and earth we will have had 8 administrations.

    1. Adam and Eve to their banishment from the garden.

    2. The time period between the banishment and the great flood.

    3. From the flood to Moses.

    4. Moses- the law administration, which ended on the day of Pentecost.

    5. Since Pentecost we have been in the grace administration which ends with the rapture of the Church. The number 5 is the number associated with grace.

    6. The number of man- the great tribulation.

    7. The number of spiritual perfection- the millenial reign of Christ on earth.

    8. The number that represents new beginning. The 8th and final administration. The new heaven and earth which lasts forever.

    rev 13:11-18 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

    That one, he exerciseth all the power of the first, He doeth great wonders, He had power to give life unto the image of the beast, 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.

    Don't make a symbol where no symbol is meant. And don't make substance, reality, historic fact, out of symbol. Don't start with symbol and have it produce the man child. The man child is symbol, the dragon is symbol, and the woman is symbol. Understand that, and you will understand how the 144,000 get up there.

    By the time all this happens the Church is long gone in the Throne Room Rev 4:1.

  31. Okay. Now I believe the mark is a literal Mark. So I know maybe I should overlook the translation of what my pastor believes but then again isn't he adding to or subtracting the book of Revelation? If I heard him right he had to let someone of athority go because this guy was a dispensationist. I could have heard him wrong. I'm just wanting to know what scriptures there may be that proves he is 100 percent wrong or is there any. I was a youth leader at one time and I guess if I want to help out in the church I would have to keep my mouth shut about the subject. I just don't know how you can look at scriptures and not believe in a literal antichrist. I know Paul talks about many antichrists but he did say there is one coming that is the antichrist.

    You don't have to keep your mouth shut about the subject. He may not know as much as He should and or want to know know about the subject. But He can learn, and that takes a little humility and a wiliness to learn and maybe with your help He can do just that.
    The antichrist is a person and government but before all that He is the Peacemaker and hailed as such. It isn't till later that Beast from out of the Pitt possesses him and becomes the eight, then His rise to antichrist is complete.

    What Paul says is the hindrance withholding Him back is the Church!

    1. Thanks for your reply! And all of you! It really helps! The Sunday school teacher at my church is teaching Daniel. He actually typed out what he believes is the next event which is the rapture of the church! He is a pretribber! I think maybe God wanted me to see this. We had a little talk about this and he just says we need to work on our pastor. I was sooo relieved after this class. He just asked me to make sure I keep coming and he will explain further on why it has to be pretrib. Looking forward to this. Here is hoping the pastor let's him continue to teach. Please pray for this and for the pastor

  33. For the benefit of all, in discernment. The video of all those people running along side the C17 is either CGI or an inflatable.
    These type of decoys were use in WWII to fool German recons of the potential invasion spot.
    Here are but a few of numerous reasons why this is a phony plane/CGI set up.
    1-Look at the nose numbers....911 already in your face masonic gematria laughing at the ignorant masses.
    2- The noise alone from even ONE engine running would leave any human w/o hearing protection on the ground in a fetal position due to the shear pain.
    3- The volume of air being ingested by the turbofan would be picking up bodies like a Hoover vacuum machine and it would be one bloody horrific scene.
    4- The exhaust from those turbines are so tremendous no human could stand behind one even at 50 yards without getting severely burned.
    So this whole theatrical world that Shakespeare told us about hold true every second we watch television folks.....
    As much as I appreciate the gifts of many in biblical study. My small contribution is to help you wake up from the sorcery of the television.
    It was all one big production.
    Lastly, look very closely at the men running in front of the plane as they look off to the sides as if taking cues from a movie director.
    Had this been the real thing ALL faces would have been one of shear terror on their countenances.

  34. As a now-retired airline pilot, I have to say that most of those arguments don't hold up to scrutiny. But it sure isn't worth arguing, since I agree with your conclusion that we live a world of theater and misdirection. Just tread carefully where facts are concerned. We don't have long to wait.
