When we look into the Word of God, we can find a “Great Controversy” between Good and evil. We can see a battle between the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ our King and Satan. We can see how Christ has done all He can through the Word of God in showing us the path to His kingdom and the battle that must take place in our lives when we try to walk that path of righteousness to His kingdom. Satan is hard at work to make sure that we will give up our crown of victory and hearken unto his lies.
This intense battle between Christ and His angels and Satan and his angels has us right in the middle of it all and we are all to partake in this battle. We will have to decide to listen and follow the Word of Truth or follow the father of lies, which is Satan (John 8:44). In this battle we must decide which master we will follow, serve and worship. We cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24).
In this study we are going to find out the truth about This Great Controversy, this battle called Armageddon, but before we begin, we must lay down one Biblical truth to follow and understand where it says in 2 Peter 1:20 - Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Next, when we establish anything as truth, we need 2 to 3 witnesses from the Scriptures to prove that whatever is being said by anyone out there in the world, that it can be verified by the Word of God.
1. Deuteronomy 19:15 - …at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
2. 2 Corinthians 13:1 - This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
So, with that said let us start digging into the Word of God in the prophecies for these last days. In order to understand the Battle of Armageddon, we must build up the understanding of where it is being mention in the Book of Revelation. In the book of Revelation 16 is where the 7 last plagues of God’s wrath is found for the last days after probation closes on the world (Revelation 22:11).
When we look at the seven last plagues we can see that it is the justice and the execution of God’s judgment being poured out upon the unrepentant sinners in the last days who had decided to believe in the lies of Satan and fell down to worship him on the venerable day of Sun Worship; hence, SUN-day Worship. This is the purpose as to why this world will receive the 7 last plagues in the last days. There is a cause and effect for this world. If you want to worship Satan through his deceptions on his venerable day of the Sun, thus defiling the law of the seventh day Sabbath of the Lord thy God (Exodus 20:8-11; Revelation 13, 14), all will receive the wrath of God who are living in those days when the Mark of the Beast contest shall go forward and enforced by law to worship the beast and his image of Sun worship.
So, when you look into the 7 last plagues you will find the Lord God of Israel addressing everything that the wicked did to the commandment keeping children of God before probation closed on the world; whatever the wicked did will be added unto them in the wrath of God. Every plague is a direct result of what the camp of Satan did before probation closed particularly in the war between Sunday worship of Satan which was instituted by men through the Vatican beast and the Sabbath Day of the Lord God (Mark 2:27-28). Here are 3 witnesses from Scripture to support this Biblical understanding…
1. Obadiah 1:15 - For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
2. Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
3. Revelation 18:6 - Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
So, now let us take a look into the seven last plagues, which will help us understand more about why the battle of Armageddon is mentioned in the 7 last plagues of the sixth plague.
Plagues:
1. (1st plague) Noisome and Grievous Sore - Revelation 16:2 - 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.
Noisome 2556 kakos kak-os'
apparently a primary word; worthless (intrinsically, such; whereas 4190 properly refers to effects), i.e. (subjectively) depraved, or (objectively) injurious:--bad, evil, harm, ill, noisome, wicked.
4190 poneros pon-ay-ros'
from a derivative of 4192; hurtful,
4192 ponos pon'-os
from the base of 3993; toil, i.e. (by implication) anguish:--pain.
Reason: All the pains the wicked laid upon the saints of God and all their sufferings. And not only did they cause the saints much pain, but they did it unto our Lord too. Matthew 25:40 - …Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
2. (2nd plague) Seawater of water turned to blood - Revelation 16:3 - And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]; and every living soul died in the sea.
3. (3rd plague) Fountains of water turn to blood - Revelation 16:4 - And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Reason: Revelation 16:6 - For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
4. (4th plague) Men scorched with fire by the sun - Revelation 16:8, 9 - And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Reason: They love to worship the sun, so God gives the sun; God even turns up the sun’s heat seven-fold hotter than normal to scorch them all for worshipping the creation over the Creator of the creation (Romans 1:25). Isaiah 30:26 - Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
The wicked and unrepentant world has defiled the fourth commandment of God, tore down His memorial of His creative power where we are to keep the Sabbath as a memorial before because of what God has done for us and who He is that we are to worship, love, extol and serve forever (Exodus 20:8-11; Mark 2:27-28). So, because the world has forgotten the fourth commandment which God said specifically to REMEMBER, in the fourth plague He gives them what they loved, served and worshipped - the sun.
5. (5th plague) Darkness - Revelation 16:10 - And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Reason: John 3:19 - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Romans 1:25 - Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
6. (6th plague) Water of River Euphrates Dried up - Revelation 16:12 - And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
When we look into the 6th plague, we can see a big picture of what is going on and why God gave the wicked this plague, which we can see a lot of symbolism going on here as well that we need to breakdown and understand.
Water - Revelation 17:15 - And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
1. River Euphrates - very big river that flowed into ancient Babylon for water support.
2. Water of River Euphrates - people (water) who gave their support to Babylon which would dry up in this plague.
Dried up -
3583 xeraino xay-rah'-ee-no
from 3584; to desiccate; by implication, to shrivel, to mature:--dry up, pine away, be ripe, wither (away).
Desiccate - dehydrate - loss of vitality
Shrivel/Mature- loss of moisture, exhaustion, helplessness
Dry up - cut off supply
Ripe - mature, fully developed
Pine away - think or weak because of sadness or loss, intense depression and melancholy
Wither away - dry and sapless,
John 15:6 - If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
The people who once supported the Mother of Harlots (Vatican), which is the “Modern Day Babylon” is now become withered, dry, sapless, helpless, intensely depressed, melancholic, fully developed and ready to be burned and could no longer support Babylon because of this plague. Their support to Babylon is gone; the water of the river is now dried up. All their support was given to the Vatican beast before probation closed to kill the elect of God for not worshipping the beast and His image (Revelation 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20).
Why are the people dried up: Revelation 16:13-16 - And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The word Armageddon is only found ONCE in the Bible but its application can be seen everywhere in the Bible from the Book of Genesis down to the book of Revelation. In the Strongs concordance we can find…
717 Armageddon ar-mag-ed-dohn'
of Hebrew origin (2022 and 4023); Armageddon (or Har-Meggiddon), a symbolic name:--Armageddon.
The word Armageddon is based on two words, har and meggido and is a symbolic name and not a literal name.
2022 har har
a shortened form of 2042; a mountain or range of hills (sometimes used figuratively):--hill (country), mount(-ain), X promotion.
4023 Mgiddown meg-id-done'
(Zech. 12 or Mgiddow {meg-id-do'}; from 1413; rendezvous; Megiddon or Megiddo, a place in Palestine:--Megiddo, Megiddon.
So the word Armageddon comes from two words which mean mountain and Megiddo, which is a literal place in Palestine but since the word Armageddon is a symbolic name, this battle cannot be a battle of literal arms, tanks and weapons or else this could only happen in the mountain by Palestine, which today is located in middle east by the Mediterranean sea. So, this battle of Armageddon is another kind of battle being fought that does not involve manmade weapons and what have you.
The only occurrence of the word Armageddon is found in Revelation 16:14 - For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
By the description given in this verse, we can see how this battle cannot literally happen in a particular place; therefore, it is not a literal gathering of earthly armies. So first, when we breakdown this verse we can see that this battle involves the kings of the earth, which we know in prophecy are the 10 kings (Revelation 17:12) or “The Club of Rome” where we know the whole world has been divided up into 10 regional kingdoms.
The Ten Kingdoms of the New World Government
Kingdom 1: Canada and the United States of America
Kingdom 2: European Union - Western Europe
Kingdom 3: Japan
Kingdom 4: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Pacific Islands
Kingdom 5: Eastern Europe
Kingdom 6: Latin America - Mexico, Central and South America
Kingdom 7: North Africa and the Middle East (Muslims)
Kingdom 8: Central Africa
Kingdom 9: South and Southeast Asia
Kingdom 10: Central Asia
Adaptive Model of the Global World System
"The Club [of Rome] had its beginnings in April of 1968, when leaders from ten different countries gathered in Rome...The organization claims to have the solutions for world peace and prosperity...The Club of Rome has been charged with the task of overseeing the regionalization and unification of the entire world...
"The Club's findings and recommendations are published from time to time in special, highly confidential reports, which are sent to the power-elite to be implemented. On 17 September 1973 the Club released one such report, entitled Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System... The document reveals that the Club has divided the world into ten political/ economic regions, which it refers to as 'kingdoms.'"
So, if this battle of Armageddon was to have the whole world to gather together into one literal place by Middle East, particularly beside the Mediterranean Sea, that place would not literally hold all the people from all over the world. Next, it is impossible to gather the whole world together into one literal place, especially during the time of God’s wrath falling all over the world to destroy all those that are on the four corners of the earth who have rejected the Lord’s salvation. It is very clear that this battle of Armageddon is not literally fought with tanks, bombs and guns, but it is a symbolic battle over souls and what each soul will decide to do for the truth or for the lies, which we will discover this as a fact.
The Bible gives us a very clear understanding as to what this battle of Armageddon is all about and who we are really contending with. It is in the best interest of the enemy of souls to continue to divert the minds of the people away from the truth regarding this battle that we are involved with today. The enemy has always been good at causing others to look into another direction so to deceive and conquer. So, the best application of this battle is the fact that we are contending with what?
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
This battle of Armageddon is all about a spiritual war that every single person has to face when they enter into this world. The Battle of Armageddon is all about the valley of decision that we will have to make between truth and error. Joel 3:14 - Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.
How true it is that this world is contending against an enemy that cannot be seen. Satan, his host of fallen angels and his human instruments continually tempt every soul they can to sin against God (1 John 3:4), through breaking His commandments or not (John 14:15). The main head of this battle is the dragon, the arch-rebel, Satan. In fact, he was the first one to start this battle of Armageddon in heaven. Revelation 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
In this battle the angels that believed Satan in heaven were defeated and were cast out with him for believing the father of lies (John 8:44). The Battle of Armageddon which started in heaven was waged against the Son of God where Satan insinuated evils against Christ. Satan cast contempt upon the law of God, thus they became evil because God is love (1 John 4:8) and His law is what defines true love for God supremely and love for each other, which that statements sums up the Ten Commandments (Matthew 22:37-40).
It was through Satan who worked so hard to turn the angels of God and their allegiance away from Christ, and thus war broke out in heaven. The once faithful angels sealed their eternal destiny with Satan - they were cast out; however, the loyal angels of God stood firm and remained with Christ. Now we must decide what we will do today in this battle.
Next, to further understand this spiritual battle, let us take a few examples recorded in the Bible and secure our witnesses for this as being truth. Let us find out about some people who fought in this spiritual battle and see what their outcome was and the elements involved in their battle. If you take a look at a literal battle in this world, we can see some main elements and what they would be.
1. At least 2 parties
2. Motive or point of disagreement
3. Tactics to win
4. Equipment or armor to attack and defend
5. Outcome of the war
In a battle there must be at least two parties involved and they must have a point of disagreement. Both parties will need to utilize some form of tactics and methods and they must use the best equipment or armory in order to attack their enemy and defend their camp. And lastly, an outcome is visible. One party will either win or lose.
In the spiritual battle, the same principles apply. Satan has to copy what God has created for good in order to deceive, which his tactic is to be a pretender - wolf dressed in sheep's clothing (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). In this battle there are two parties that are formed - the side of God or the side of Satan. The point of disagreement is over the law of God vs the law of Satan who has changed the law of God through the Vatican institution of lies. There are also tactics and methods involved and equipment and tools to use in order to attack and defend each camp and the outcome is also evident and clear.
In this battle of Armageddon, there are only two parties involved and each party will have to decide which side they are going to stand for. In this battle, everyone will be given a chance to decide until the last test comes to them, which in the last days it will be a battle over the 4th commandment to either worship God or Satan. Satan will again disguise himself as he has always done, but in the final test he will proclaim himself to be the Son of God, but he is a deceiver where he will claim the Sabbath of the fourth commandment has been changed.
2 Thessalonians
2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.
2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2:9 Even him (Christ), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
And this will all take place in the valley of decision when this global one mind system of Satan's is set up in the plain of the earth to worship him on Sunday or die (Revelation 13, 14, 17 & 20). And when it is enforced by law first in America the second beast where she will exercise all the powers of the first beast (Revelation 13:11-18), everyone will have to decide at that time and in the universal Sunday law that comes from Satan himself, everyone will make up their mind who they will worship, love and serve before probation closes. But in that one hour with the beast (Revelation 17:12-14), in that hour of temptation (Revelation 3:10), everyone in the world will have to decide when Armageddon will reach its climax with Sunday laws; your decision cannot be reversed in that Sunday law battle of Armageddon.
The main point of disagreement in this battle again is over the law of God -vs- the lawless governance of Satan. Different methods are used by Satan in order to win a particular battle; some easy method while some difficult. The main object of this battle is to OVERCOME. The overcomers from the camp of God (those who are walking in the narrow and strait path) will receive eternal life (Revelation itself is full of promises to those who will become overcomers) while those who will decide to be overcome by Satan (those who are walking in the broad road) will also lose eternal life if they fail to repent (Matthew 7 - the two roads).
Let us see some Biblical examples of some battles fought between the two camps - God vs the camp of Satan. The first war that was recorded to have happened was the one in heaven between Michael and Satan. In this battle of Armageddon, we can see some important elements.
Two parties: Revelation 12:7 - And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Michael and His angels vs the dragon and His angels. Point of disagreement: Tactics/Methods: Isaiah 14:13-14 - 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. Decision: Decision Outcome:
|
Next battle recorded was between Eve and the serpent
Two parties: Eve vs Satan Point of disagreement: Weapon used by Eve MUST DECIDE Outcome: Genesis 3:24 - So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Earth was cursed Serpent was cursed: Genesis 3:14 |
Jesus vs Satan in the Wilderness Satan Point of disagreement Methods/Tactics: Deception: Presumption: Jesus’ Methods: CHOICES: John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. |
One hour with the Beast/Battle of Armageddon Two parties: Revelation 17:12-15 - And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Revelation 19:19 - And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. Point of Disagreement: Law of God (worship Sabbath) vs law of man (Sunday worship) Mark – Sunday worship Weapons and Tools: Revelation 14:7-9 - Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Armour of God – Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. His Armies: Beast and 10 kings Mouth - Deception Mouth – speaks (enacting laws, legislation), cause – enforce laws (Revelation 13:15) Miracles/Signs/Lying Wonders: No Buy and Sell: Death: Revelation 14:13 - And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. What does Babylon say today: GATHERING/HARVEST: Beast and 10 kings are also gathered (harvested) – ready for the winepress – wrath of God Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. When the plagues start to fall, God is also treading the winepress that He has prepared for the wicked who received the mark of the beast. Outcome: Revelation 12:11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 2:10 - Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Beast and 10 Kings Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 14:10-11 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. |
So, when we look into the Word of God, we can see how this battle called Armageddon is a name given in the Hebrew tongue to describe the spiritual warfare that the children of God have been engaged in, from Genesis to Revelation, which in the English tongue we know it to be called the Great Controversy between Christ and His angels and Satan and his angels. This battle of Armageddon will reach it's climax again in the last days before probation closes. This last, great and terrible battle between Christ and His angels and Satan and his angels will be about who the world is finally going to worship - Christ on His Seventh Day Biblical Seventh Day Sabbath, which He is Lord over -vs- Satan on his manmade SUNday worship, which is a Vatican dogma.
"The Sunday...is purely a creation of the Catholic Church." - American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1883
"Sunday...It is the law of the Catholic Church alone..." - American Sentinel (Catholic) June 1893
One of the main important points regarding this battle is the use of the "mouth" as a way to gather the two camps. Satan and his armies gather his people using the mouth (3 unclean spirits like frogs). God is also uniting His people through what His "mouth" or His Word said. The 3 angels messages uniting with the angel of Revelation 14 or we know as the loud cry message or the last message of mercy unto the perishing world is the tool by which God gathers His people ttoday until the last great conflict of Sunday law where everyone must decide. What comes from the mouth of the 3 unclean spirits are false doctrines and laws design to contradict or make void the law of God whereas from the mouth of the Lamb and His armies are truthful warnings and pleas by which people will have to decide. Everyone must decide in this battle of Armageddon, are you going to believe what the mouth of the 3 unclean spirits have to say and be marked by the mark of destruction or what the Lamb has to say and be sealed for eternal life?
It is this very Satanic institution who will set up in the plains of the earth, through the power of the kings of the earth, which is funded by the merchants of the earth, which is preached upon by the false teachers and false prophets and accepted by the world who love not the truth, but had pleasure in darkness in accepting the Vatican's Sunday worship Babylonian system of lies, and that those who will not comply shall be put to death (Revelation 20:4, Revelation 13, 14). This entire global world system of the Vatican's they are clearly working together through lying tongues, miracle working, lying wonders, smooth preaching, cunning craftiness, and through "all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.
This great deception is going to bring this world to her knees unto the point that they will all agree with Sunday laws, but for the elect of God they will stand firm under the banner of truth and only worship Christ through their keeping of the commandments of Jehovah (Revelation 14:12).
Satan today is building up this strategy through taking away the people's rights until those rights ultimately no longer exist. Satan is purposely using this COVID movement to establish his global control. Satan is having this world become so horrible, full of lies, corruption, unrighteousness, having wars and rumor of wars hit the world scene so that at Satan's own appearing he will look so holy and so righteous where he will proclaim to be the son of god, but he will be a deceiver. He will put a stop to all this global disunity and chaos, thus it will make him appear to be the God of heaven and earth, but the drips of God's wrath will continue, thus Satan must insinuate to the world to worship on SUNDAY or his wrath will continue to pour out upon the inhabitants. Then he will insinuate that the Sabbath keeping sect must be put to death if they want the drips of God's wrath to stop, but it will only get worse for them after they kill the commandment keeping children of God. When probation closes on the world and all cases have been decided, the wrath of God will be poured out through the seven last plagues (Revelation 22:11; 16). The Word of God clearly shows us that after Satan will appear to do his marvelous end time work, then Christ will come and destroy Satan's global one world mind system.
2 Thessalonians
2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
This global Sun worship system will first tempt the world as Satan did to Christ in His wilderness of test and then ultimately kill all who will not worship the beast and his image of Sunworship (Matthew 4; Revelation 20, 13, 14). Satan will be the final great instrument to try and deceive the world. The world has for so long believed that Satan is a 2 horned red beast, but what does the Word of God proclaim?
Ezekiel
28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.
Just as Satan did in the Garden of Eden, he came with smooth speaking and beauty, just as you see these ministers of unrighteousness today are doing to the world through all their miracle working, through the gospel that appeases the flesh and how to be blessed by the world through riches, etc. Which these flesh loving ministers who stem from the false prophet apostate fallen Protestantism churches, are deceiving the world in how they need to gain the world through their own offerings and loving the world.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 - For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Satan has always worked in the same manner as he always has. He makes appetite for the world look to be so good and desirable, but it is a trap, just as you have seen throughout the entire Bible in this battle of Armageddon. This is why Christ said in 1 John 2:15-17 - Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
If we are going to love the light of truth over the darkness, we shall walk in the light and remove ourselves from the great apostasy that is taking over the world and blinding them to the point that they cannot understand clear cutting basic truths from Scripture, thus, the world will fulfill the sayings of Revelation 18:3 - For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
The world will have their basic God given rights taken away to the point that they will accept the Mark of the Beast through their agreeing with Sunday worship. They will desire the Mark because Satan will give them the world so long as they agree with Sunday laws, which Satan will use COVID, Climate change, chaos, the global desasters and such to bring about his global unity under the deception that we must all attend church for prayer and service to worship God on Sunday sacredness to end all that is going on in the world.
Again, this is all designed to try and bring the whole world together under the guise of doing good for the planet through going to church and becoming one mind Under Sunday worship. Thus, Satan, through the kings of the earth will soon set up a global world economy that unless you have the Mark of the Beast stamped upon your national ID card, you shall no longer participate in the global economy - 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. Revelation 13:17.
This coming global Sunday worship system is going to be a complete lockdown for the children of God. This is why also you see in the seven last plagues that God will lockdown Satan and his people from being able to do anything. Just like how Satan filled the entire earth and made the earth a great mountain of his kingdom, which stretched from the four corners of the earth, so Christ will render back and put it down (Revelation 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22). Christ kingdom will come, lockdown Satan's just like he did, put him to the side of the pit for 1,000 years and then ultimately destroys it in the battle of Gog and Magog (Revelation 20) where Christ's kingdom will then become a great mountain which will fill the entire earth just as Satan did (Daniel 2:35). This is where the Bible tells us that what Satan did before close of probation (Revelation 7; 22:11), in his one mind empire Sunday worship system where they made war with the Lamb, He then shall overcome them through the out pouring of His seven last plagues. What Satan did before the close of probation, God will render back to Satan in the seven last plagues, thus this is why in the sixth plague God dries up the support of Babylon,
Dried up -
3583 xeraino xay-rah'-ee-no
from 3584; to desiccate; by implication, to shrivel, to mature:--dry up, pine away, be ripe, wither (away).
Desiccate - dehydrate - loss of vitality
Shrivel/Mature- loss of moisture, exhaustion, helplessness
Dry up - cut off supply
Ripe - mature, fully developed
Pine away - think or weak because of sadness or loss, intense depression and melancholy
Wither away - dry and sapless,
(6th plague) Water of River Euphrates Dried up - Revelation 16:12 - And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Many proclaim that this battle Armageddon is only fought in the sixth plague because it is mentioned there, but they all fail to realize that it is only mentioned there in the sixth plague because that plague is what addresses the global world Sunday laws unity that took place before plague one fell upon those who had the mark of the beast (Revelation 16:2). This plague had to be poured out because of their unity they had in there Sunday law mark of the beast system that killed the saints of God.
Another example is that in the 3rd plague, it is mentioned why they will receive this plague. It is because "..they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy." Rev 16:6. They have shed blood of the saints and prophets not in the 3rd plague but before the plagues will be poured out. It does not mean that because it is mentioned at a specific plague that it happens during that particular plague. Same thing with the gathering of Satan and HIs armies. Because it is written in the 6th plague does not mean it will literally happen during the 6th plague.
In this 6th plague, God completely dried it up and then allowed these unrepentant men to witness what God has done to Satan's kingdom, which is because of what the wicked had done to God's nation before probation closed. Christ had to behold His nation (the children of God being destroyed on the earth), so God gives it back to them in the sixth plague. You can find the entire description of their pains and sufferings in Revelation 18.
God dries up this global one world mind Sunday worship system of Satan through plagues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then breaks them to pieces in the seventh plague and ultimately destroys them and puts the great image of the ten toes to sleep in the dust of the earth for 1,000 years, to thus, only be resurrected again after the 1000 years to be judged and eternally destroyed (Revelation 20; Daniel 2:34).
And this Great Controversy (Armageddon), which started in heaven will continue until Christ destroys the entire image of Daniel 2 after the 1000 years, after the second resurrection of the wicked where both soul and body will burn and burn forever and ever until they are ashes under the souls of our feet (Revelation 20; Malachi 4).
Let us all know that so long as we put on Christ the evil powers that be in this world will never overtake us in this battle of Armageddon that we are all in. We must learn to put on the armor of God so that we can stand in this Great Controversy and come out victorious. We are warned by God that we are to let no man take thy crown (Revelation 3:11).
This great and final battle that is soon to be fought will happen once the kings of the earth have set up in the plains of the earth Sunday worship. All will have to decide what they will do - worship the beast and his Sunday worship image, which pays homage to Satan or worship Christ. Soon lip service will be tested. Whatever we are doing today is sealing our destiny later. If we are learning to obey and follow God today, then we shall do well, but if we are learning to disobey the Lord today, then we shall surely disobey Him in the Sunday law.
Joshua 24:15 - ...choose you this day whom ye will serve...
Here are some quotes regarding the Vatican Beast's and their Sunday worship System...
"This organization proposes in every possible way to aid in preserving Sunday as a civil institution. Our national security requires the active support of all good citizens in the maintenance of our American Sabbath. Sunday laws must be enforced." -Quoted as "principles contained in the Constitution" of the original organization (then called the American Sabbath Union), cited in The Lord's Day Alliance, Twenty fifth Report (1913), p6.
"Encouraged America to exercise its leadership within the international community based on the common moral law [Sunday holiness]." (Address of Pope Benedict XVI to H.E. Mrs. Mary Ann Glendon, New Ambassador of the United States of America to the Holy See, Friday, February 29, 2008.)
On September 7, 1947, Pope Pius XII declared that the time for reflection and planning is past in religious and moral fields and the time for action has arrived. He said that the battle in religious and moral fields hinged on five points: Religious culture, the sanctifying of Sunday, the saving of the Christian family, social justice and loyalty and truthfulness in dealings." (Evening Star (Washington D.C.), Sept. 8, 1947)
"People cannot be sanctified except on Sunday, that Christ transferred Sabbath sacredness to Sunday, that only those who keep Sunday belong to Christ, that only on Sunday does the risen Lord makes himself present among his followers, that only these worship God properly, and that may Sunday regain all its importance." (Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Card. Francis Arinze on the Occasion of the Study Day in Honour of the 43rd Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, From the Vatican, November 27, 2006.)
“Sunday is a day of rest for all workers.” (Address of Pope Benedict XVI to the Italian Christian Workers' Associations (A.C.L.I.), Clementine Hall, Friday, January 27, 2006.)
"Saturday is no longer the worship day of God, only on Sunday can we become part of the body of Christ in the world, only by worshiping on Sunday can we avoid egoistic isolation and instead be united in a great community...a universal community becoming related to everyone in the world." (Meeting with Diocesan Clergy of Aosta, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Parish Church at Introd (Aosta Valley), Monday, July 25, 2005.)
“Every Sunday is to be dedicated and given to God.” (Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, given in Parish Church of Castel Gandolfo, Monday, August 15, 2005.)
" Only on Sunday can we experience a personal encounter with Christ." (Apostolic Journey of Pope Benedict XVI to Brazil on the Occasion of the Fifth General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Carribbean, Inaugural Session, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Conference Hall, Shrine of Aparecida, Sunday, May 13, 2007.)
This BEAST admits their Mark is Sunday worship:
"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895
"Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.
Furthermore, "The Catholic church," declared Cardinal Gibbons, "by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday." Catholic Mirror Sept. 23 1983. (Official organ of Cardinal Gibbons)
Question - Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer - Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd ed.
"The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!" Father Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, History of the Sabbath, p. 802
"Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The day of the Lord" was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power .... People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy." (Saint Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.)
"Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles .... From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first." (Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1990.)
"The Adventists are the only body of Christians with the Bible as their teacher, who could find no warrant in its pages for the change of day from the seventh to the first. Hence their appellation," Seventh-day Adventists. "They're cardinal principle consists in setting apart Saturday for the exclusive worship of God, in conformity with the positive command of God Himself, repeatedly reiterated in the sacred books of the Old and New testaments, literally kept by the children of Israel for thousands of years to this day, and endorsed by the teaching and practice of the Son of God while on earth." -Rome's Challenge, (Why do Protestants keep Sunday?) page two
"Is not yet too late for Protestants to redeem themselves. Will they do it?... will they indeed take the written word only, the Scripture alone, as their sole authority and their sole standard? Or will they still hold the indefensible, self contradictory, and suicidal doctrine and practice of following the authority of the Catholic church and wear the SIGN of her authority? Will they keep the Sabbath of the Lord, the seventh day, according to Scripture? Or will they keep the Sunday according to the tradition of the Catholic church, -Ibid, page 31.
The Scriptures warn us...
Revelation
14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Who are they that will NOT receive the Mark of the Beast?
Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
