| (Part 1) #203.08 | The Apocalypse — its mere mention sends images of hell on earth flashing through the minds of many. Thoughts arise of the Antichrist, 666, the mark of the beast, and the false prophet. A period is seen when there is great upheaval lashing out at mankind and lasting three and a half to seven years, during which time Satan will exert subtle, then tyrannical rule over the inhabitants of the earth. But is it so? |
Rather than the apocalypse being "A cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil," as many dictionaries define it, the final stage of the Apocalypse is the unveiling and bringing into view the very life and majesty of Jesus Christ, and this includes His glorious body of the sons of God. | |
Each of us are but a small part in the whole picture of the apocalypse; but in Christ there will be no end to who we are and shall be, and that is no small thing. As our existence dates back before the creation of the earth, the founding of the world, and on into infinity, so shall our increase proceed forward into that glorious infinity, ever growing, multiplying, and helping to fill the universe with Christ's glorious life. What an Apocalypse! What a manifestation of the sons of God! | |
The thought of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" has been written about before. With some I am in agreement and some I am not. The Rider of the four horses is the same as the one of Revelation 19:11-16, but serves two different purposes. The one of chapter 19, like the kings of the past, goes in the forefront of the battle leading His army into victory over every enemy. We see Him as a Conqueror coming as the King of kings upon His white horse of righteousness and with His mighty army upon theirs. The Rider in Chapter 6 comes alone and rides through the land and heavens of His own body. | |
Behold, the Lord cometh IN holy myriads OF HIMSELF TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT | |
| Pavilions of Darkness: "He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about him dark waters and thick clouds of the skies," Psalm 18:11. | |
| Pavilions of Darkness (continued) The Antichrist: Some looked upon the president-elect as the world's savior — a black man riding from the east upon a white horse to save the day. While others believe this mysterious man who came out of obscurity is not their savior, but the antichrist... | |
| The Abomination of Desolation: "Therefore when you see the *'abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand)," Matt. 24:15 (NKJV). | |
| Dispensationalism And The Rapture: Presumption is to believe something as being true in the absence of proof. The doctrine of Dispensationalism has been promulgated by believing the concept is true, yet without proof, which in turn has been the principal cause of skewing much of Christendom's thinking. It is said that Dispensationalism is the divine ordering of worldly affairs in specified eras of time. The adherents of Dispensationalism generally strive for a literal interpretation of the Bible rather than seeing that there are spiritual aspects of the scriptures as well. | |
| Michael And The Dragon: " 7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels." | |
| Lucifer and Fallen Angels: How many times Lucifer is found in the Bible? It is assumed that Lucifer is interchangeable with Satan and is used as often -- but is it? | |

| The Day of The Lord (Part 1) "...If the pastors who embrace and truly keep the fourth commandment of the law, they could not minister to the people on the seventh day. For their ministry was reserved to only the LORD on that day....If the people attended and received that which he ministered, they would be partakers of his work and just as guilty of the pastor’s disobedience to that command as he would be. They all would be breaking the very law that they believed to be upholding....." |
