Behold a Red Horse; What I Know About WW III

 

WW III; many voices are saying we are in it now! Here is some of the pertinent WW3 data I have come across over the years. 

Behold a Pale Horse: 

Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper, details the “plan” to take over the world, which includes WW III.

 

It is true that without the population or the bomb problem, the elect would use some other excuse to bring about the New World Order. They have plans to bring about things like earthquakes, war, the Messiah, extraterrestrial landing, and economic collapse. They might bring about all of these things just to make ... sure that it does work. They will do whatever is necessary to succeed. The Illuminati has all the bases covered ... Can you imagine what would happen if Los Angeles is hit with a 9.0 quake, New York City is destroyed by a terrorist-planted atomic bomb, World War III breaks out in the Middle East, the banks and the stock markets collapse, Extraterrestrials land on the White House lawn, food disappears from the shelves, some people disappear, the Messiah presents himself to the world, and all in a very short period of time? [William Cooper, "Behold A Pale Horse", Page 177] 

 

The Armageddon Script: 

Here is another description of the “plan” to bring about the new world order, which includes WW III. It is described in an Illuminati blueprint book; The Armageddon Script: Prophecy In Action, by author Peter Lemesurier.

 

But then war will seldom be absent from the world-scene during the last twenty years of the century. There will be numerous local conflicts in the Far East, the Middle East, and Africa. A hair-raising nuclear confrontation in Korea may, towards the end of the period, threaten man's very survival. P. 222-3. 

 

Albert Pike 3 World Wars: 

And here is another voice describing “the plan” involving three world wars to produce the New World Order with the antichrist as the ruler of the world. The framework of this plan was given to Albert Pike on January 22, 1870. This plan was kept secret for many years, but was revealed by former Illuminati, Doc Marquis, in his book Secrets of the Illuminati. Marquis tells us that Pike received this plan from a “guiding spirit.” In other words, he received this plan for the establishment of the New World Order from satan or one of his demons. The major components of the plan entailed the fighting of three world wars. 

The First World War was designed to overthrow czarist Russia and establish communism.[1] The Second World War was to be started by Britain and Germany and had as its eventual goal the strengthening of Russia into a superpower.[2] As we know from history, both objectives were fulfilled. 

Officially, some claim Pike’s letter is a fake. However the contents of the letter were revealed to the public just after WWI, and the fact that WWII fulfilled the plan in the letter is proof that it is authentic. 

The Third World War is supposed to be triggered by war between Judaism and Islam and will eventually spread to the whole world. Listen to what Albert Pike said about WWIII: 

 

The third World War must be formented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on the issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity…will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in public view.[3] 

 

Atlas Shrugged: 

The book Atlas Shrugged is reported to be an illuminati fictional novel which portrays their plan to take over the world written in code. The timetable presented in the book ends with this “When the lights of New York City go out for the last time, we will have the World!" This will most likely be a result of an action associated with WW III.


The Shape of Things to Come


Another illuminati writer, H.G. Wells, has further detailed that WWIII will start from an event that occurs in Basra. He was given this information from a demonic Guiding Spirit in 1933 in which he wrote about in his book entitled, "The Shape of Things To Come."

"…the plan for the 'Modern World-State' (New World Order) would succeed in its third attempt (WWIII) and would come out of something that would occur in Basra, Iraq." The Coming Epiphany; Chapter 9

I surmise that this would refer to the hottest part of WW3, which may be the nuclear part.

 

The Van-Rensburg Prophecies: 

In the late 1800s and early 1900s there lived a man in South Africa named Seiner Van-Rensburg. Van-Rensburg gave many prophecies of which many have come true. You can also read a short biography of him here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siener_van_Rensburg. 

Van-Rensburg gave some very detailed prophecies about the coming WW3. One of the aspects of his WW3 prophecies concerned Russia, Britian, and America as explained below. 

 

During 1942/43 a member of the Ossewa-Brandwag, ‘Oupa’ Krause gave an almost unbelievable description to Mr. E.L. Brits, of the Seer’s visions on the outbreak of a future world war.

 

Because England fears a Russian bomb attack, they connive in secret with the Russians. They betray Western military secrets to Russia and sign treaties with Russia against the USA. Russia mistrusts the English; the USA learns of this treachery and realizes the danger of English betrayal against it. The great clash between American and British troops takes place in Egypt after the next world war has started. The English army is defeated and those still alive after the battle, are taken prisoner. It is also there where our troops are stopped and disarmed.

 

The English attempt to get help in secret from the Japanese, but are unsuccessful. During the night Russia storms through Turkey (Iraq) en route to the Suez region, while Turkey offers no resistance. The Russians make contact with the American army in Syria and Palestine where they (the Russians) are stopped by the Americans. Palestine is destroyed during the fighting. Some Arabs side with the Americans. Many oilfields in the Middle-East are set alight. The Red Army is defeated by the more advanced secret weaponry of the USA.

 

The Russians break through to Spain en route to Gibraltar, and when they are stopped there, they turn on England and attack them from the air. England is totally destroyed. 

 

Many secret weapons and gas is used everywhere. While horror (atomic?) bombs sow death and destruction, nations will be annihilated. While some nations cease to exist, others will still survive, but will be worthless. It will be a devastating war and everyone will be expected to go and fight. 

 

Our Boer nation will not be destroyed, for we have a purpose and destination. England will be a very minor factor. Ireland also gains its freedom and drives the English from their country. Holland surrenders without a whimper. France will somehow survive; Russia will be finished and although the USA will not be destroyed, it will be a very weak nation. The Germans declare peace in Europe and become the strongest nation in a very short time. 

 

The Beginning of Oppression War breaks out in Europe around April or May (year unknown) as soon as the thaw sets in, but by the time there is no more ice and snow, it will have progressed considerably—so much so that it seems if the Russians are winning.

 

An atmosphere of oppression will prevail not only in Europe, but also in our own country. The Germans will make use of the opportunity to take revenge on England, which will be totally annihilated. As usual, the USA in Europe will initially flee, but return later with a strong military force and stop Russia in Spain.

 

Van Rensburg says the Germans will be fully armed—probably with secret armaments from underground arsenals, which, indeed, is the case. The war will be very swift, destructive and dreadful. Nations will be annihilated very quickly by means of air attacks, horror (nuclear?) bombs and germ warfare. Laser Beams? The worst will be ‘electric beams’ sowing death and destruction above and below; even the soil will be destroyed and few people will remain alive.

The Bible:

 

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

 

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Rev 6

 

The Aftermath of WW III: 

The aftermath of WW III and the other 3 Seals will be the establishment of the new world order.


 

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

 

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

 

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

 

11 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.

 

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

 

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

 

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

 

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

 

17 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.

 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13

 

When are people going to wake up to the times that we are in? Will you have to first see the average person in the world having to spend a day’s wages to buy a measure of wheat, or will you have to see one fourth of the world’s population die? 

And if someone never wakes up to the fact that the last 7 years has begun because they think that the rapture has to occur first, then they are in danger of taking the mark—the biometric I.D.—without realizing that it is the mark—don’t hit the snooze!

 


"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36

The end times are knocking on the door, but so is Jesus. He wants to save you—will you let Him? Do not wait until the door is closed.

Shocking Answers to Rapture Questions You Wish You Would Have Known a Long Time Ago Part 2

 


Continued from Part 1

Question: What must occur before the rapture?

God reveals to us several things that must occur before the rapture—Day of the Lord event. 2 Thessalonians reveals to us that there must be a falling away first, the man of sin or antichrist revealed, and for him to perform the abomination of desolation.

2 Thes 2:1-4

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Acts 2:20 reveals to us that the sun must be darkened, and the moon turned to blood, before the Day of the Lord—rapture event.

Acts 2:20

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

This is also echoed in the Matthew 24 passage.

Mt 24:29-31

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Question: What must occur before the rapture?

Answer: A falling away, the antichrist revealed, the abomination of desolation, the sun darkened, and the moon turned to blood.

 

Question: Is the rapture imminent?

Answer: No, because several things must occur first, which have not occurred yet.

That may be a shocker to you; that the rapture is not imminent, but that is exactly the issue that God through the apostle Paul addressed the Thessalonians on. They thought the rapture was imminent or that it had already occurred and they missed it. They were clearly told that it cannot happen until several things occur first. Read the passage again.

2 Thes 2:1-4

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. (Imminent)

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

Question: As discussed above one of the events that must occur before the rapture is the abomination of desolation and the taking over the world by the antichrist. When in the end times does the antichrist perform the abomination of desolation and take over the world?

Daniel 9:11 reveals to us that the abomination of desolation occurs 1290 days before the end.

Dan 9:11

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Thus, the abomination of desolation occurs near the midpoint of the last 7 years. And passages in Revelation reveal to us that his reign over the earth will last for 1260 days, thus his reign will begin at the midpoint.

Rev 13:5

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Question: When in the end times does the antichrist perform the abomination of desolation and take over the world?

Answer: Respectively just before and at the midpoint.

 

Question: Two other events previously discussed that must occur before the Day of the Lord—rapture is that the sun will be darkened and the moon turned to blood. When in the end times are the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood?

That is a very easy question to answer for scripture tells us succinctly that they occur after the opening of the Sixth Seal.

Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Question: When in the end times are the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood, etc.?

Answer: After the opening of the sixth seal.

 

Question: What else occurs after the opening of the sixth seal?

God tells us that several other things occur after the opening of the sixth seal the most prominent are that Jesus appears in the sky, men hide, and God’s wrath begins.

Rev 6: 12-17

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

It is interesting to note that there are only two events during the end times when Jesus will appear, at the rapture and at Armageddon.

Question: What else occurs after the opening of the sixth seal?

Answer: A great earthquake moving every island and mountain, a meteor shower, the sky splits open, men see Jesus in the sky, and God’s wrath begins.

 

Question: Considering all the previous scriptural facts, when in the end times do the scriptural facts tell us that the rapture will occur?

Let’s put everything together and make a definitive statement based on the Biblical evidence presented as to when in the end times the rapture will occur. Realizing that the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord event and that the Day of the Lord occurs after the sixth seal is opened; therefore, the rapture must occur after the sixth seal is opened. This truth is confirmed by the fact that Jesus appears in the sky, men hide, and God’s wrath begins after the opening of the sixth seal.

Question: Considering all the previous scriptural facts, when in the end times do the facts tell us that the rapture will occur?

Answer: After the opening of the sixth seal.


Question: When in the last 7 years or the end times is the sixth seal opened and the rapture occurs?

Let me make it clear no one knows the day or hour of the rapture and thus the opening of the sixth seal except God the Father.

Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

But we can know a general timeframe in which it will occur. Obviously the sixth seal is opened after the opening of the fifth seal, which is the persecution of Jews and Christians by the antichrist.

Rev 6:9-11

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

The antichrist makes war against Jews and Christians during his 42-month reign which begins at the midpoint and ends at Armageddon.

Rev 13:5-7

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Therefore, the sixth seal and the rapture occur sometime after the antichrist takes over the world at the midpoint.

Question: When in the end times is the sixth seal opened and the rapture occurs?

Answer: The sixth seal is opened, and the rapture occurs at an unknown time after the midpoint. 

To be continued

Here is a song by Peace Light that sums it all up.


"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36

Are you uncertain about your eternal destination?

The end times are knocking on the door, but so is Jesus. He wants to save you—will you let Him? Do not wait until the door is closed.

Shocking Answers to Rapture Questions You Wish You Would Have Known a Long Time Ago Part 1

 


The rapture is one of the most controversial topics in all of the end times. Some don’t believe there will be a rapture, and those that do, cannot agree on when it will occur. But a careful examination of questions about the rapture and their answers are for most, quite shocking and will reveal hard truths that you will wish you had known a long time ago. These rapture truths may even keep you from making the biggest mistake in your life.

So, let’s begin our study by first identifying why there are so many conflicting views about the rapture. I believe that the root of the problem is the failure to take all of scripture into view, instead of a just a few select passages. Taking all of scripture into view is essential to forming any correct doctrinal view. Any correct theological view must agree with all of scripture and contradict none of scripture.

It is with this in mind that I will present and answer several important questions involving the rapture. I warn you that some of the answers to those questions may go against what you have been taught all of your life. I ask that you to not reject the answers just because they are different from what you have been taught, but to let the truths of God’s Word speak to you—for the truth shall set us free. Let’s begin.

Question: Is the rapture in the Bible and if so, what does the rapture entail?

The word rapture is not in the English Bible, however a quick study of the linguistic origins of the word rapture readily show that the rapture is an event talked about in the Bible many times.

The linguistic origins of the English word "Rapture" in Christian eschatology, tracing it back to how Saint Jerome translated 1 Thessalonians 4:17 from the original Greek into the Latin Vulgate:

Original Greek: ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha), which means "we shall be caught up" or "snatched away". 

Latin Vulgate Translation: rapiemur, which translates to "we are caught up" or "we are taken away". 

Latin Root Verb: rapio, meaning "to catch up," "take away," or "seize". 

Because the Latin Vulgate was the dominant Bible used in the Western Church for over a thousand years, the Latin root raptura (and the verb rapio) eventually evolved into the Middle French word rapture, which was then adopted into English to describe this specific biblical event.

As we will soon see the concept of believers being caught up or raptured during the end times is mentioned many times in scripture.

Question: Is the rapture in the Bible and if so, what does the rapture entail?

Answer: Yes, there is a rapture during the end times and the word rapture describes the end times Biblical event where the saints are taken up into heaven.

 

Question: Where in the Bible is the rapture mentioned?

There are many places in the Bible where the rapture is mentioned.

1 Thes 4:16,17

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

2 Thes 2:1

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

1 Cor 15: 51, 52

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Mt 24:30, 31

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Mt 24:40 - 42

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Luke 17: 34-36

 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.


Question: Where in the Bible is the rapture mentioned?

Answer: It is plain to see that the rapture is mentioned many times in the Bible.


Question: What is the reason for the rapture?

Realizing that during the end times God’s wrath will be poured out upon the world, and also realizing that God’s children will not be subjected to God’s wrath, which the Bible clearly states in 1 Thes 5:9.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

We can therefore easily conclude that the rapture is for the purpose of removing God’s children from the earth before His wrath is poured out. God’s children can and are subject to tribulations but not God’s wrath.

Question: What is the reason for the rapture?

Answer: The reason for the rapture is to remove Christians from the earth before God’s wrath is poured out upon the world.


 

Question: What specifically happens at the rapture?

I Thes 4 tells us succinctly what occurs. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Question: What specifically happens at the rapture?

Answer: Jesus comes to the clouds, a trumpet sound is heard, the dead in Christ rise, and the saints are caught up to heaven.

 

Question: What phrases or words in the Bible refer to the rapture?

In reading the many passages above we see the following phrases that refer to the rapture; “caught up,” “our gathering together unto him,” “we shall be changed,” “shall gather together his elect,” “one shall be taken.”

Question: What phrases or words in the Bible refer to the rapture?

Answer: “Caught up,” “our gathering together unto him,” “we shall be changed,” “shall gather together his elect,” “one shall be taken.”

 

Question: What other name is given to the rapture event?

Another name given for the rapture event, which also helps to identify when in the end times it will occur is the phrase, “the Day of the Lord.” This Day of the Lord—rapture connection is quite readily seen in first and second Thessalonians.

1 Thes 4: 15-5:2

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Thes 2:1,2

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

The phrases the Day of the Lord and the Day of Christ use the same Greek words, so they are synonymous terms. And those terms are used to describe the rapture as evidenced in the Thessalonian passages above.

Question: What other name is given to the rapture event?

Answer: The synonymous terms the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ.
