EXPLICIT BIBLE TRUTH
Jesus
Who is He
What is He
Why is He
Jesus the Christ:
Most people believe there is a God simply because of the creation itself, Romans chapter one.
The things we see every day with our eyes such as; babies being born, trees and animals, and what we hear with our ears such as birds chirping and people walking and talking.
The word âGodâ as used in the Bible means source or where it came from.
When we say God we usually mean the Eternal God but God can also be used of Men and Angels so; always see the context for all meanings.
According to the Bible âthe Eternal God is Yahweh, Jehovah in English who took upon Himself the form of a man and became Jesus Christ.
Many Lords and Gods:
1Corinthians 8:2 If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;
1Corinthians 8:3 but if any man loveth God, the same is known by God.
1Corinthians 8:4 Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God of consequence but one.
1Corinthians 8:5 For though there be those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;
1Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we exist through him.
The Deity of Jesus Christ is the agent of God the Father who created all things, John 1:1, 3, and 10.
The different Names of Jehovah God are different aspects of Himself as He has chosen to reveal Himself but they are all Jehovah God, Exodus 6:3, John 1:17-18.
Satan, the God of this age:
2Corinthians 4:3 But also if our gospel is being hidden, it has been hidden to those being lost,
2Corinthians 4:4 in whom the god of this age, Satan has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the brightness of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is Jesus who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
The Image of God here is Jesus Christ who is the visible image by His humanity who is Jesus, the body of the invisible God His Father, Hebrews 10:5.
2Corinthians 4:5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your slaves for the sake of Jesus.
Sons of Disobedience:
Ephesians 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
Ephesians 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
Spirit here means the same type of spirit. These people are not possessed of Satan but have compatible spirits.
So did we but God caused us to be born of His Spirit also called regeneration, changing us, moving us toward perfection which is being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, Romans 8:28-29.
2Corinthians 11:12 But what I the Apostle Paul am doing, I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
2Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
Satan a False Teacher:
2Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an messenger of light.
2Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.
Jewish people believe that Yahweh, translated Jehovah in English is the Eternal God of their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who rescued them out of Egypt and the God of the âOld Testamentâ.
Christians believe that the Jewish God who is Jehovah in English became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:8 Watch that no one robs you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
Colossians 2:9 For in Him, Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Satan in the Flesh:
The name Satan means the enemy. He is also known as the Devil, the Dragon, the Old Serpent, Revelation 20:2.
God created Lucifer whose name means the âLight Bearerâ but Lucifer who has volition opted, chose Evil for himself becoming Satan, the enemy of righteousness, John 8:43-44.
In this context, see below he has possessed the body of the âKing of Tyreâ as he did the serpent, Genesis 3:14.
Apparently the serpent had the ability to resist Satan as did the pigs of Matthew 8:28-34.
Our pets are creatures of instinct that make choices all the time sometimes ripping up newspapers, stuffed toys and furniture and doing their business in the house and generally making messes.
When confronted by their owners they usually look extremely guilty being aware of their trespasses.
Apparently God has placed obedience into animals that learn our ways through training.
In the Millennial Rein of Jesus Christ all animals will be our pets even those living in the wild.
Humans have the ability to reject Evil and turn to righteousness, Acts 17:30-34, Ephesians 2:1-3.
While growing up we owned a Black Lab named Blackie who was forbidden to lay on the couch. Returning home we would find him on the floor but placing our hand on the couch we could feel the warm spot where he had just laid, so are they cunning?
Satans Political system:
Revelation 13:1 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.
Revelation 13:2 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.
This Beast here is a modern day combination of a Leopard and a Bear and a Lion meaning the ancient empires of Babylon, the Medes and Persians, Greece, and Rome are united in the Beast forming a Mediterranean, European dictatorship.
The northern confederation of Russia and the Islamic states and the confederation of the Eastern powers of Asia and the Western powers of the Mediterranean which is the Beast will meet at Armageddon to war over the spoils, treasures of Israel which will probably be petroleum and food plus World dominion.
My conclusion is the different world powers, North, South, West, and East are all headed by Fallen Angels who have similar Beast meaning political systems with Satan heading up the European, Mediterranean Beast, Daniel 10:13 & 20-21 N.A.S.B with Fallen Angels called Princes meaning those having authority.
They will meet at Armageddon with their Armies to determine dominion of planet Earth and perhaps new confederations but they will be destroyed by Jesus Christ at His second coming in the valley of Megido known as Armageddon.
In the Bible north, south, east, and west are measured from Jerusalem and not the Prime Meridian passing through Greenwich England for longitude, and the equator for latitude.
The Beast:
The Beast is first pictured as a statue with a head of Gold, breast and arms of Silver, belly and thighs of brass and legs of Iron with feet of Iron and clay, Daniel 2:32-45.
The Beast was later pictured, as four wild animals which were a Lion, a Bear, a Leopard, and the forth beast was the most ferocious of all and was referring to the Beast of Revelation 13:2 thousands of years into the future , Daniel 7:1-12.
The Lion would represent the Kingdom of Babylon.
The Bear would be the Kingdom of the Medes and the Persians.
The Leopard would represent the Kingdom of Greece.
The fourth Beast would represent the revived Kingdom of Rome that will exist as the Mediterranean, European power and would contain elements of the Babylonian, Medes & Persian, and Grecian empires.
God appoints Kings:
Daniel 2:19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision, and Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.
Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.
Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He causes kings to pass away, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who know understanding.
Daniel 2:22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells in Him.
Daniel 2:23 I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made me know what we ask of You. For You have revealed to us the king’s matter.
The Beast:
Revelation 17:9 âHere is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
Revelation 17:10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.
Revelation 17:11 “The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.
Seven Kings are 7 mountains does not mean each King is perched on one of the mountains but rather each King ruled, having authority over the 7 Hills which is Rome, the city on 7 hills and the empire of Rome just as the woman had Religious authority over the 7 Hills of Rome and the empire and she is the self perpetuating Papacy, the ruling Bishops of Rome including the Pope.
The Papacy moved to Spain and France for a period of time and then returned to Rome.
The Papacy was allied with Mussolini and Hitler and was anti Semites, anti Jew but denied it after WW11.
Fallen:
Fallen here does not mean dead even though they are dead.
As Kings are appointed by the âGod of Heavenâ who is Yahweh, Jehovah in English, Daniel 2:21 above.
Apparently, they made a choice to join the Beast who is Satan meaning they moved away from Godâs appointed task and served Evil.
There are a number of Roman Rulers after these 5 but they were not part of the Beast as only these are mentioned as they have the Name of Blasphemy written on them meaning they are blasphemers, Revelation 13:1 see above.
Blasphemy:
2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for theman of sin will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and then the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
2Thessalonians 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God, Daniel 9:26-27, Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14.
Apostasy here means departure in the Greek and is the Rapture of the Church, Hebrews 11:5.
Blaspheme means to say or claim things about a person that are not true and is also called slander.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Some Caesars, kings of Rome were worshiped as Godâs as are Fallen Angels.
In the last 7 years of Satanâs rule the anti-Christ, the 7th Roman Ruler in this group will arise and he will preside over 10 Kings for 3.5 to 7 years, the 70th week of the Prophet Daniel. They will all be destroyed at Armageddon.
Five have fallen:
Julio-Claudian dynasty
Augustus, 27BC-14AD-41 year reign
Tiberius, 14AD-37AD-22 year reign
Caligula, 37AD-41AD-3 year reign
Claudius, 41AD-54AD-13 year reign
Nero, 54AD-68AD-13 year reign
One is:
Domitian was the King, Caesar who tried to neutralize the ministry of the Apostle John by placing him in exile on the Isle of Patmos.
Patmos is where the Apostle John is recording the book of the Revelation.
The other, the 7th King has not yet come:
This is the Anti-Christ and we might add anti-Jew who will come at his appointed time.
Anti-Christ and the false prophet, false Messiah will deceive the Jewish people resulting in disaster and great loss of life in Israel.
The Eight King:
The Eight King here is the Beast who is Satan. When anti-Christ receives his deadly head wound he will die and stay dead.
Satan will take over his body and it will appear that anti-Christ has survived the deadly head wound.
The eight is also one of the seven probably meaning that Satan had possessed one of them as he did the King of Tyre; see below, Jude 1:9.
The Woman:
The woman here is first mentioned in Zechariah chapter 5 and her name is Evil.
In Zechariah the woman is being flown, air lifted by two women having wings like a Stork, an unclean bird, to the land of Shinar which is where Babylon and the tower of Babel are located.
The woman is first known at Babylon as the Mother/Son, Nimrod and Semiramis, a religion with the God Tammuz.
In Revelation chapter 17the woman has moved from Babylon as she rides the Beast and goes where i
