Is Mason Albert Pike the Figure on the District of Columbia Seal?

Is Mason Albert Pike the Figure on the District of Columbia Seal?

by John Smith

The seal of the District of Columbia, symbol of the seat of power for the United States of America contains what I believe to be occult symbology and possibly even the timing of an event seemingly shown behind the capital building.  What appears to be a tsunami or wall of water approaching an unsuspecting capital.  Why would the elite place such a thing?  I believe it is part of their code to tell us, the unilluminated vulgar mob, what they know and /or what they plan to do to us but only those that can read some of their language (the language of symbols) can read it.  It must also provide them a bit of glee to tell us what will happen to us yet none of us see it.  All the references to 9-11 in the movies, the symbolism of 911 itself, the Olympic and super-bowl rituals performed before our very eyes yet very few of us look into the message being conveyed. I believe one their most revered masters of the craft has been placed upon the seal of the Capital district of the USA and possibly even the timing of an event.

Who is Albert Pike? Born on December 29, 1809, at various stages of his life he was a poet, philosopher, frontiersman, soldier, humanitarian and philanthropist.  He studied at Harvard, and later served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. After the Civil War, Pike was found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be pardoned by fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson on April 22, 1866.  The President met with him the next day at the White House. On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite officials conferred upon Johnson the 4th to 32nd Freemasonry degrees. In 1869, he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Pike, a 33rd degree Mason, was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859 and retained that position until his death in 1891. Albert Pike died on April 2, 1891.  The corpse of Pike currently lies in the headquarters of the Council of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Washington, D.C,  mere blocks from the Whitehouse.

For where Pikes heart and allegiance lay I would like you to read his own words from his book “Morals & Dogma”.  ““The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. Yes, Lucifer is God...” 33rd Degree Freemason Albert Pike. Reading the above one must wonder why Brigadier General Albert Pike is the only Confederate general with a statue on federal property in Washington, DC. He was honored, not as a commander or even as a lawyer, but as Southern regional leader of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The statue stands on a pedestal very near Capitol Hill, between the Department of Labor building and the Municipal Building, between 3rd and 4th Streets, on D Street,  N.W.

The statue of Albert Pike (Judiciary square, Washington DC):

Though not exact matches I believe enough clues have been left to lead us to the conclusion that it is Pike on the Seal.  

1.       Listed around the base of the Pike statue are statements “Soldier, Poet, Author, Jurist, Philosopher, Philanthropist & scholar”.  In the DC seal is shows the figure on the pedestal holding what appear to be a sword & in the other hand a scroll (Solider- man of letters).

2.       The woman in Greek (classical) robes standing before the figure in the pedestal on the DC seal.  In the Pike statue we have a similar figure sitting on the steps of the pedestal.

3.       The Pike statue has the Eagle of Lagash (or the Eagle of Eagles) featured prominently on a banner held by the robed woman.  An eagle is seen to the right of the robed woman in the DC seal.  One of the interpretations of the double headed eagle is that it symbolizes the two Messiahs, Christ and Anti-Christ.  The rejection of one Messiah for the other.  The rejection of Jesus Christ and salvation through his blood for that of the Anti-Christ, illumination and power… to become like God (the oldest lie ever told, “Ye shall be Gods”!). The Eagle in the DC seal looks to the left.  The Left hand path, the false messiah (Anti-Christ)?  All other American eagles look to the right.  The right is the good side, the superior side for Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father.

4.       The position of the capital building, at a 45 degree angle as well as the distance would be correct to the Pike statues position in Judiciary Square.  Albeit a mirror image of the capital as viewed but the portrait painters have provided you with enough clues to figure out who the figure is.

5.       1871 placed onto the seal was also the date of Pike Letter to Mazzini where he told of his vision of the three world wars. http://www.threeworldwars.com/albert-pike2.htm

6.       District of Columbia, 18 letters, 6+6+6=18.  How an occultist looks at this!  And with all the evil that has been going on in and emanating out of that place of late… it is fitting.

The timing of the ‘event’ depicted:  Is it a literal Tsunami or could it be figurative?

From this point on I am not saying this is definitive but merely food for thought.  I welcome any commentary and ideas on the subject.

 1.       The first clue was the seven mounds on the grass before the Capital building.  To the ancient mystery religions the Pleiades constellation is known as the seven sisters and plays a critical role in their lore.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades         The ‘mounds’ would indicate that the Pleiades are below the horizon and this only happens in late April and into May. The Pleiades apparently below the horizon late April till May. http://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/handle/10524/105/JL27179.pdf   page 5 top.

2.        The robed woman is most likely to be the constellation Virgo.

3.       The green wreath she is holding is that of the Constellation Bootes which in the night sky, Bootes appears under the right hand of Virgo.  Bootes has been explored as a symbol of Jesus Christ’s return as shown in this outstanding World Net Daily article.  http://www.wnd.com/2010/04/138997/        Bootes meaning “the coming one” shown as a warrior coming to harvest.

4.       The Star or bright item to the left on the DC seal could be the Star Sirius or “the Blazing star” to the masons or it could be a comet or asteroid.  It appears to show a trail behind it. Watchmen Agusto Perez http://theappearance.com/index.htm and Nathan Leal of the watchman’s cry http://www.watchmanscry.com/  have both had visions of Tsunami’s impacting the United States.  Agusto Perez is adamant that a vision given to Efrain Rodriguez, a well-regarded Puerto Rican Evangelist is that an asteroid will hit the island of Mona just to the west of Puerto Rico.  The ensuing Tsunami would devastate the Caribbean as well as the Gulf and east coast of the USA.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCMcM6-H3c4  

5.       Probably a stretch but the date 1871 1+8+7+1=17   and JUSTITIA OMNIBUS 8 letters and 7 letters (Hebrew read right to left)  REV 17:7-8

       And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of      the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

REV 8:7 1st of the Trumpet judgements following the seals

        The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 

Lastly, what is the state that is purported to be the NEW US capital after Washington DC is done in?  Denver Colorado…  Take a look at its state seal. http://www.artsignworks.com/products_services/state_seal_wall_plaques.html/title/w32080-2-5d-carved-wall-plaque-of-the-great-seal-of-the-state-of-colorado-

Christians Calling On the devil—Where Are You Pastors?

 

That’s right; many Christians are calling on the devil? How are Christians calling on the devil, you ask? I will tell you how they are calling on the devil; by playing rock/rap music, watching demonic shows, playing evil video games, reading demonic books and desecrating the body.

What do you mean? Here is what I mean. Very simply; there are certain practices that attract evil demonic forces into one’s life. And it follows that if a person were to engage in those activities it would open them up to demonic forces.

You ask; what practices? To start; how about Rock and Rap music. Rock/rap music is out of the pit of hell and calls on demonic forces. Look at what Little Richard said about rock music. 

My true belief about Rock ‘n’ Roll--and there have been a lot of phrases attributed to me over the years--is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic. ... A LOT OF THE BEATS IN MUSIC TODAY ARE TAKEN FROM VOODOO, FROM THE VOODOO DRUMS. If you study music in rhythms, like I have, you’ll see that is true ... I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious^[3]

And here are a few words about rock music straight from the mouth of a former Satanist.

When I was about seven, I became involved in a satanic coven....  I was involved quite heavily in satanic worship for seven years in three different covens.... Satanic worship services are designed to put the worshipers into a mood where spirits can be called to manifest themselves during the service.  They always use live music, and the music always has a beat.

They start with a drummer.  The rest of the instruments are geared to the drumming. These people practiced many, many hours for every service we had.  It was rock music with a rock beat.  We were told that the reason they used the rock beat was because it’s the same beat as your heart.

Subconsciously, while you listened to the music, it would open you up.  People weren’t aware that they were opening up to spirits, because they were concentrating on the music.  The music is a great part of the service because it opens you up to spirits without you being aware of it.  This music prepared everyone to open themselves up to the forces of darkness.

As those forces respond to that invitation, people become inhabited by demons.  There is no way to carry out the things done in those services without inviting spirits into your life to empower you to do them.  During those services, I saw atrocities and vile acts.  People turned against their friends with savagery, even  becoming cannibalistic. ^[7]

Oh, but you say; I listen to Christian rock and rap music, not that bad secular stuff.

In 1981, I was driving down a jungle road in the Ivory Coast with several African pastors in the car with me.  I had recently received a couple of cassette tapes from our denominational headquarters that were intended for our teenage daughter.

These were recordings of various ‘Christian rock’ artists.  In listening to the tapes, I was very disturbed in my own spirit that such material was being sent to our missionary kids.

But not trusting my own reaction alone and realizing that these pastors with whom I was traveling were very sensitive to the spirit world (both good and evil), I decided to play the tapes for them.  The reaction I got was immediate and verbally violent!

One of the pastors asked me this question, ‘Do you mean to tell us that this kind of music is played in your churches in America?’

I answered in the affirmative.  His response was filled with disgust and anger as he replied with another question.  ‘What are you doing allowing your church people in America to call up the evil spirits with their music?’ ^[4]

http://thecomingepiphany.com/BookArticles/music.htm

I liken Christian rock/rap to a Bible verse on a cigarette. And then Christians wonder why they are so defeated in their lives and easily fall when tempted. Oh, BTW I was once cussed out by a “Christian” rock musician for my stance against it—go figure.

And what are Christians watching and allowing their children to watch, that are opening them up to demonic forces? Vampire shows, horror movies, half time shows featuring demon possessed people, etc. What a joke!

Oh, and how about those “entertaining” video games where they cast spells, shoot, kill, steal, and rape, all in the name of fun. Do you think that maybe engaging in those activities will open someone up to demonic forces? Why don’t you ask some of the recent mass murderers who became possessed by demonic forces and carried out great atrocities, and who loved playing games like that. You know how many young people from Christian homes I have heard talking about playing those type games?

Oh, let’s not forget about all the secular books, like Harry Potter, that Christians read, that were written by demons through automatic writing—where the author goes into a trance and a demon enters their body and writes through them—look it up—even some popular so called Christian books are written this way. Do you think that maybe reading books written by demons will open someone up to demonic forces?

Christians have the Holy Spirit in them, thus their bodies are a Temple of God. So why are Christians engaging in the occult practice of graffiting/tattooing God’s Temple? Now I am not talking about people who got their tattoos before they were saved, but after—what a sacrilege. While we are talking about the boday as God’s temple, let’s not forget about the Christians—mainly girls—that are wearing lewd immodest dress—even to church. What a disgrace to the name of Christ, what in the world is going on? Whatever happened to this verse?

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1 Tim 2:9

I know Christians are engaging in these practices because I have run into many who claim the name of Christ, go to church, etc, that I hear of doing these things. Just yesterday I heard a Christian young teen talking to another about what happened on a vampire show on TV, and the one girl comes from a “good” Christian family. A few months ago I heard a Christian saying how she loved Beyonce, saying she was her favorite “Christian” performer. I almost puked—you know Beyonce admits that she performs via demon possession, right? I know what; maybe she can dress like her at the church Halloween night.

Where are you Pastors? Don’t you care that your flock is calling on the devil? How can you idly sit by and allow your flock to engage in these evil practices? Are you afraid to turn the heat up and preach a hot message against these things because you are afraid that you will lose members from your church, or have you joined the “keep it positive” club?

Well let me inform you that if you continue to allow them to engage in these practices, you have lost them already. Case in point, where are your young adults—sucked away by the world?  Now of course pastor, you cannot make their decisions for them, but it is your job to enlighten them and educate them with the facts so that they can make proper decisions.

The church used to be the backbone of this once great nation, now the spine has turned to jelly, and the church and this nation is very weak. There are very few churches that are fighting against the evil forces that have pervaded our society, instead they embrace them or remain silent not wanting to offend. As a result the flock is being decimated for lack of knowledge of the evil around them.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6

Where are you pastors?

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 2 Tim 4:2

Where are you pastors? The Sunday morning pew sitter is waiting for you to reprove, rebuke, and exhort them in regards to calling on the devil. Will you? (Note: this post was not directed to any one pastor in particular, but the many across our land that are failing to do their job.)

“They Did Not Understand Until…”

 

They did not understand until what? They did not understand until the flood took them away. Jesus spoke those words, here is the rest of the narrative.

For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away;  Matt 24:38,39

What a sad scenario—only a few understood and heeded the warnings of pending judgment and entered the ark for salvation. And when the rest of the people finally understood, it was too late, judgment was upon them. Jesus also told us that a similar scenario would play out again at the end of the world.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Matt 24:37-41

So my question to you is; do you understand what is coming? Unfortunately many, including Christians, do not understand what is coming. In this short post I will endeavor to help you understand what is coming, before it is too late.

As a matter of fact the words of Jesus above was part of a response to a few questions the disciples posed along those very lines—what is going to happen at the end of the world and when? Here is what they asked.

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Matt 24:3

Very important questions indeed! And Jesus answered their questions very succinctly. The first thing that the Lord tells them is to not be misled by false Christs.

See to it that no one misleads you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. Matt 24:5

This warning is followed by a very important admonition regarding the end times—See that you are not frightened. Jesus then goes on to describe a series of events that will occur at the end of the world.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 9 “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. Matt 24:7-9

Wars, famines, earthquakes, and Jews and Christians being persecuted by all nations—now ask yourself this question; where in Revelation do you read of these same events and in the same order? How about the first 5 seals.

The First Seal—Rider on White Horse

Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” 2 I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

The Second Seal—War

3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” 4 And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

The Third Seal—Famine

5 When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”

The Fourth Seal—Death

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The Fifth Seal—Martyrs

9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also. Rev 6:1-11

War, famine, persecution—looks like a match to me. OK now let’s go back to Matthew 24 and see what Jesus says will happen after the tribulations of the wars, famines, and persecutions of the first 5 seals.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other... and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Matt 24:29-41

Sun darkened, stars fall, heavens shaken, Jesus appears in the sky, the nations of the earth mourn, the trumpet sounds and the elect are gathered at the rapture. Hmm where in Revelation do we see the sun darkened, heavens shaken, nations mourning and Jesus appearing in the sky? How about the Sixth Seal.

12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Rev 6:12-17

Sun darkened, stars fall, heavens shaken, Jesus appears in the sky, the nations of the earth mourn, the trumpet sounds and the elect are gathered at the rapture—looks like a match to me.

So Jesus tells us there will be tribulations of war, famine, earthquakes, and persecution (Seals 1-5) and then after that there will be great celestial signs and Jesus will appear in the sky and the saints will be raptured (Seal 6).

Now do you understand Christian, or will you not understand until you see the Seals opened and it is too late to prepare. Now do you understand people of the world, or will you not understand until you see Jesus in the sky and it is too late to escape God’s wrath?

The flood is coming; do you understand? If you are not saved, the doors of the ark are still open. Get in today before it is too late. Read a short message about what you must do to be saved.

Christian, the flood is coming; do you understand the rapture will NOT occur until after the Sixth Seal is opened? —read The Coming Epiphany today for FREE.

 

 

The Coming Atlantic Ocean Tsunami

There has been a lot of chatter regarding the possibility of an Atlantic Ocean tsunami. Do I think that there will be an Atlantic Ocean tsunami? Yes! Here is why.

1. I had a very vivid beyond coincidence dream regarding the destruction of a tropical paradise. The details of the dream lead me to believe that some type of explosion will occur in the vicinity of Puerto Rico/St. Thomas, which in turn could cause an Atlantic Ocean tsunami. The dream also leads me to believe that the event may possibly occur after an “event” effecting Oklahoma City. http://endtimesforecaster.blogspot.com/2012/02/dreams-of-paradise-lost.html

2. I had another very vivid dream where I saw an Atlantic Ocean Tsunami hit New Jersey. http://endtimesforecaster.blogspot.com/2014/03/atlantic-tsunami-dream.html

3. I had a third dream where I saw newspaper headlines of a meteor impact in the Atlantic Ocean. http://endtimesforecaster.blogspot.com/2014/02/atlantic-meteor-impact-dream.html

4. An Atlantic Ocean tsunami is depicted on United States money.

5. An Atlantic Ocean tsunami, along with other apocalyptic events, is depicted at St John’s cathedral in New York City.

6. I believe an Atlantic Ocean tsunami is depicted on the Washington, DC seal.

7. I believe an Atlantic Ocean Seismic event is depicted in the movie Planes.

8. A mysterious video was released that had the words “231134421 Be Ready, Run Away, Sector NY Water.” Many, including myself, believe this was an illuminati warning regarding an Atlantic Ocean tsunami.

So, like I said, I think that the Atlantic Ocean tsunami is coming, but the question remains as to when.  In light of end times Bible prophecy there are several possible times that a large tsunami could possibly occur. Trumpet 2 describes a mountain burning with fire slamming into the ocean and destroying many ships. The destruction of the ships suggests a huge tsunami. This tsunami is part of God’s wrath and will occur after the midpoint and rapture.

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Rev 8:8,9.

Another possible occurrence of a tsunami in end times Bible prophecy would be as a result of the great earthquake at the Sixth Seal.

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; Rev 6:12.

The Sixth Seal will be opened after the Seal 5 persecution of Jews and Christians at the hand of the antichrist—after the midpoint. As proved in The Coming Epiphany the rapture immediately follows the opening of the Sixth Seal.

The only other place in end times Bible Prophecy that I see the possibility of a tsunami is the general sorrows that precede the rapture as described in Luke 21.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

We are clearly told that the fearful events described here occur just before the rapture and since the rapture occurs after Seal 6, these events would be intermingled with the first 5 seals. Since the tsunami is on USA money, and USA money has events encoded on it detailing the major events of the destruction of the old world order, it stands to reason that the coming tsunami depicted on the $100 bill will be part of this plan also. Thus I believe that the coming Atlantic Ocean tsunami will most likely be part of the Luke 21 fearful events that occur before the rapture. 

As far as the exact date—I do not know.

In the past strong judgments have come to nations when they take further steps in gross sin and or take destructive actions against Israel. Thus a tsunami judgment of this magnitude could occur in relation to major sinful activities by our nation such as betraying Israel, further desecrating the marriage institution, and killing of innocents.

I believe the Atlantic Ocean tsunami is coming, when I do not know. I believe it will be part of the judgment against our land for our many sins. I pray that many would repent and turn to the Lord for forgiveness—being washed by the blood of the lamb. Our only refuge is in the Lord.

Are you ready for the end times? Have you been washed clean by the blood of the lamb so you can be forgiven of your sins and go to heaven when you die? Read The Coming Epiphany today for FREE!

What’s the Next Event in End Times Bible Prophecy?

 

What is the next major event in Biblical prophecy? If I posed that question to the average Christian most would say the rapture. There was a group of Christians that thought the same thing—that the rapture was about ready to occur—and God told them through the apostle Paul that the rapture could not occur until certain things happened.

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

2 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.

3 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;

4 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.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2.

In this passage the Thessalonians thought that the rapture—the day of Christ—was at hand or about ready to happen. Paul admonished them to not be deceived for that day—the rapture—cannot come until after the falling away and the man of sin—the antichrist—is revealed and he sits in the Temple and claims to be God—the abomination of desolation.

Has the great falling away occurred? Has the antichrist been revealed, and performed the abomination of desolation? NO! Therefore let no man deceive you by any means—the rapture cannot be the next event.

Do you think the rapture is the next event? Again most Christians I have talked to believe that the rapture is the next event. They seem to think that God will rescue them before anything bad will happen—inferring that they are somehow above having to suffer various tribulations. Think about this; in the past have Christians suffered through world wars, financial collapses, pandemics, and persecutions? YES! So why does the average Christian of today feel that they are above having to suffer through a world war (Seal 2), a financial collapse (Seal 3), a pandemic (Seal 4), and persecution (Seal 5).

Do not be deceived, He will not rapture you from these things because the scriptures above tell us that the rapture will not occur until after the antichrist claims to be God and performs the abomination of desolation in the Temple. The sad fact of the matter is that most Christians choose to ignore these scriptures and cling to a rapture theory that makes them “feel good.” I wonder how they will feel when they see the Seals opened and find themselves totally unprepared.

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; 2 Thes 2:3

I want you to be prepared—that is one of the main reasons I wrote The Coming Epiphany—so you can be prepared. I also wrote it to explain and prove to you why the rapture will not occur until after Seal 6 is opened. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20 You can read The Coming Epiphany today for FREE.

 

How would I answer the question; what is the next major event in Biblical prophecy? Economic difficulties, wars and rumors of wars, terrorist attacks, rampant diseases, and dramatic earth changes. These will be followed by the real fireworks—the opening of the Seals, then comes the rapture after Seal 6.
