This document has three areas of study. The first area is about

Mecca. I have been researching possible areas in the world

regarding the last milestones we are to look for in the last hour.

Thus far Mecca has indeed “taken the cake” so to speak, as far as

fulfilling scripture. [What I want the reader to gain from this area is

a comprehension and logic of the part in Revelation I have

researched on; that is what I want the reader to attain.] I have

discovered Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, which closely fits and is

fulfilling scripture and appears be the woman that rides the scarlet

beast in Revelation 17. The latter two sections deal with the

gathering of the Church in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air;

and a detailed Gospel tract for you to examine yourself, and/or

download as a witnessing tool. OR you can look at my other

Revelation Chapter 17

(Picture Source: http://flickr.com/photos/60417477@N00/1034007789)

1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to

me,* "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with

whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made

drunk with the wine of her fornication." 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the

wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of

blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,

and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of

abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE

ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints

and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great

amazement. 7 And the angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the

woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 "The

beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to

destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of

life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is

not and will come. 9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains

on which the woman sits, 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. 11 "The beast which was and is

P a g e | 3


not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 "The ten

horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive

authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 "These have one purpose, and they give their

power and authority to the beast. 14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will

overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are

the called and chosen and faithful." 15 And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the

harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. 16 "And the ten horns which you

saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat

her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 "For God has put it in their hearts to execute His

purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words

of God will be fulfilled. 18 "The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over

the kings of the earth."

Islamic Capital of the World

Notice in the book of Revelation, chapter 17, when one of the seven angels who had the

seven bowls (in Revelation 17:1 shown above), carried John away in the Spirit into the

wilderness where he saw a woman that sits on a scarlet beast, at the precise time that the

beast carries her, five kings have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; and when he

comes, he must remain a little while. When the woman is carried by the scarlet beast is

when the sixth king is. And the beast that John saw, was, and is not, is himself also the

eighth, and is of the seven, and he goes to destruction. Some theologians have taught that

the king that is, or at the time, that, “one is”, was during John’s time. Yet John was

carried by one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls in the Spirit into the wilderness

and saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast; so I dare say, can we ask the question: “where

was this woman before she sits on a scarlet beast?” Because the time-frame John was

shown is when she sits on, and is carried by a scarlet beast. This angel explained the

P a g e | 4


mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her. The angel also says that the ten

horns, the scarlet beast has, are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom. But in

Revelation 13:1, a beast comes out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns, and on

each horn a crown; signifying that whoever these ten kings are, that have received no

kingdom yet, have received them, the crowns being evidence. Furthermore, the angel said

that the Lamb will overcome the beast, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And

prior to the angel showing John in the wilderness the woman that sits on a scarlet beast,

that is not, and will come; the angel so happened to be one of the seven angels who had the

seven bowls. And these seven bowls were poured out upon the Earth in Revelation; these

bowls are full of the wrath of God (Revelation chapter 15 to chapter 16). So while these

bowls are being poured out, what the angel said about the Lamb overcoming the beast is

true. And I do believe, the Lamb overcomes the beast and the ten horns, who will receive

their kingdoms, with the seven bowls of wrath; and by His return, when the beast and the

false prophet are captured, and are cast alive into the lake of fire, according to Revelation

in chapter 19. So the point I am making here is this:

1. These seven bowls of the wrath of God have not yet been poured out on the Earth,

and the Lord has not yet returned. The Lord is the same yesterday, today and

forever, so if we believe the Old Testament to be true; and is true, you can bet that

when these bowls are poured on the Earth. Exactly what is predicted will occur.

2. More or less, to identify the king that is, or, sixth king, you would have to look for a

woman that sits on a scarlet beast first, at the appointed time; which is easier,

because the woman is a city that reigns over the kings of the earth. Specifically -

kings. Not presidents, or prime ministers, etc.

3. The seven kings are kings, not kingdoms.

4. Finally, how would those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written

in the book of life from the foundation of the world wonder when they see the beast

that was, and is not, and yet will come, if the mystery of the woman and of the beast

that carries her was not revealed? It is easier to find a woman or city before the

beast she sits on, comes, wouldn’t you say? They would not know the beast is to

come, if the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her was not

revealed.

So you might wonder how the eighth king can have seven heads (Revelation 13:1). That

would be impossible; he would have eight heads if he counted his own, if there were eight

individual kings. The reason why the beast, when he comes, has seven heads is because he

was, and is not, is himself also the eighth. So including his head, he is one of the seven and

an eighth king, he will have seven heads, including his head, when he comes.

Revelation 17:9

9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the

woman sits.

Revelation 17:10-11 10. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when

he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11. The beast who once was, and now is

not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

(SEE BELOW, KINGS OF SAUDI ARABIA)

Now we see that the many waters that the woman sits on are peoples, multitudes, nations,

and tongues, because in Revelation 17:1, she sits on many waters, and the angel gave an

understanding of those waters in Revelation 17:15. The woman is that great city which

reigns over the kings of the earth. Mecca is the Islamic Capital of the World. Every able-

bodied Islamic believer (Muslim) must pilgrim to Mecca (which probably includes the

terrorists or, Islamic extremists) at least once in their lifetime as stated in their five pillars

of faith. There are at least two Islamic republics in the Middle East. And more than ten

nations that are Islamic. (It says rules over the “KINGS” of the earth don’t it? Not

presidents, prime ministers, queens etc. In FACT, most societies that are left with kings

these days are ISLAMIC Nations!) Islam has more than one billion followers.

Mecca is Islam’s Capital. Islamic followers pray five times a day, in the direction of the

Kaaba in Mecca; their followers are many nations, tongues, peoples and multitudes. It is

shown that this woman, or city, is to be identified before the scarlet beast, she sits on, will

be identified. Because when the woman rides the scarlet beast is when the sixth king is.

The scarlet beast is the eighth king who comes after the seventh king who continues a short

space, hence, you will see the woman or city before the scarlet beast that was, and is not,

that carries her, comes (HENCE Revelation 17:8 NASB, SHOWN ON PAGE 2). Now

I will show you research of the Kaaba in Mecca now.

Zechariah 5:5-11

(Picture Source: bhatkal.files.wordpress.com)

Kaaba, Mecca Inside Kaaba

5 Then the angel who was talking with me came forward and said, "Look up! Something is

appearing in the sky." 6 "What is it?" I asked. He replied, "It is a basket for measuring grain, and

it is filled with the sins of everyone throughout the land." 7 When the heavy lead cover was lifted

off the basket, there was a woman sitting inside it. 8 The angel said, "The woman's name is

Wickedness," and he pushed her back into the basket and closed the heavy lid again. 9 Then I

looked up and saw two women flying toward us, with wings gliding on the wind. Their wings

were like those of a stork, and they picked up the basket and flew with it into the sky. 10 "Where

are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel. 11 He replied, "To the land of Babylonia, where

they will build a temple for the basket. And when the temple is ready, they will set the basket

there on its pedestal."

Is it me, or do I see grain in the Kaaba picture on the left?

It is easier to find the woman or city before the beast comes, wouldn’t you say?

We see a temple or mosque, built around the Kaaba in Mecca today for Islam followers

and for the Kaaba.

Food for Thought

Now, I will direct your attention to these pictures below, what similarities do you see?

(Picture Source(s): Kaaba, bbc.co.uk; Woman, middle-east-online.com)

Kaaba Islamic Arabian Woman

So we see this city or woman (woman being the city) who goes in and out of the Kaaba, that

has a black covering, and we see an Arabian woman with black covering, sort of ironic isn’t

it? It is amazing how well they treat the Kaaba, that cannot speak, yet their women who

can speak are abused very much.

Kaaba History

(Source: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Pilgrims circumambulating the Kaaba during the Hajj

The Kaaba (Arabic: الكعب��ة al-Kaʿbah; IPA: ['kɑʕbɑ] or IPA: ['kæʕbæ])[1]

"Cube" is a cuboidal

building located inside the al-Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The mosque

was built around the original Kaaba.

The Kaaba is the holiest place in Islam. The qibla, the direction Muslims face during prayer, is

the direction from their location on Earth towards the Kaaba. It is around the Kaaba that ritual

circumambulation is performed by Muslims during the Hajj (pilgrimage) season as well as

during the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage).

The Kaaba is a large masonry structure roughly the shape of a cube. It is made of granite from

the hills near Mecca, and stands upon a 25 cm (10 in) marble base, which projects outwards

about 30 cm (1 ft).

The Babylonian Empire 606-536 BC

(Map Source: www.keyway.ca)

Makkah Province Today

(Map Source: www.saudi-us-relations.org)

We see that the woman that was in the basket was taken to the land of Babylonia. The

book of Zechariah was written approximately around 520 B.C. It seems a great mystery.

It is very hard to find maps that indicate the highest peak of the ancient Babylonian

Empire. Even in the above map, the line drawn from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, goes

right through the Makkah province. Mecca is the capital of Makkah Province. And now

we see, today, the woman or city in the basket; which was taken to the land of Babylonia. Do you suppose now, it is safe to say, we know where the woman was before she was

carried by the scarlet beast? I say this because she has been around longer than the

P a g e | 10


monarchy that she is carried by today. Saudi Arabia was founded on September 22, 1932.

Has Mecca been around longer than that? YOU BET!!!

Map of the Islamic Empire today.

(Map Source: http://staff.xu.edu/~tan/images/islam/map_islamic_world.jpg)

Old Babylon is located in Iraq. We can see though, that; there is major Islamic population

in many places now, including Iraq. This reaches much farther, than old Babylon ever did.

And no matter how far reaching the Islamic faith is; Mecca is their Capital. Is it any

wonder then, on her forehead, a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH –

Revelation 17:5? We can clearly see that all of the light-blue areas are 86-100 percent

Islamic. Not only that, we can see the Kaaba; which appears to be the basket that was

taken to the land of Babylonia, and is in Mecca. Some resources even indicate they don’t

know how extensive the history of the Kaaba really is; because it is extensive. It has been

rebuilt a number of times. What a mystery!

Now I will show you what it looks like before Satan gives the beast his

authority and throne.

Revelation 12 (Picture Source: endtimepilgrim.org)

1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her

feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor

and in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red

dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a

third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman

who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child

who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His

throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that

they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And war broke out in

heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great

dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole

world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud

voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the

power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our

God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb

and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore

rejoice O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!

For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short

time." 13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman

P a g e | 12


who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that

she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and

half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth

like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the

earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the

dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he

went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have

the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And let’s remember:

Revelation 17:8-13 8 "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the

abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has

not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder

when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. 9 Here is the mind

which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman

sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not

yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 And the beast

that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to

perdition. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no

kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

Now let’s see what it looks like when the beast comes up out of the abyss.

Revelation 13 (Picture Source: apocalipsis.org)

1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the

sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads

were blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like

those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and

his throne and great authority. 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal

wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; 4 they

worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast,

saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?" 5 There was given to

him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months

was given to him. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His

name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was also given to him to

make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and

tongue and nation was given to him. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone

whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the

Lamb who has been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for

captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed.

Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of

the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the

authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to

worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he

even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he

deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to

the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to

give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause

as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, the small

and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on

their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell,

except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the

number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

P a g e | 14


So if the angel before was telling John that the ten horns are ten kings that have received

no kingdom yet, and here we see the beast coming out of the sea having ten horns and

seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems (diadems are crowns), then it is obvious,

whoever those ten kings are, that had received no kingdom yet, have received them in

Revelation 13:1. The crowns on each horn being evidence of this; evidence because the

scarlet beast having ten horns did not have crowns, which makes sense because the angel

said they are ten kings that have received no kingdom yet. The ten horns, or ten kings do

not receive their kingdoms until the beast comes out of the sea. And the beast in the above

passage is like a leopard. John saw a woman that sits on a scarlet beast. And the angel

said this scarlet beast will come out of the abyss and go to destruction.

(Scarlet Definition Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scarlet)

Scarlet means:

A strong to vivid red or reddish orange.

Scarlet-colored clothing or cloth.

So from the definition, I would definitely go with reddish orange, which is more like a

leopard. And the great dragon, or Satan, is described as red, flat out. He has seven heads

with a crown on each head. And when the beast comes, he has seven heads and ten horns,

with a crown on each horn. He is the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth,

and is one of the seven, and is going to perdition. That is how the beast has seven heads

even when he is the eighth king, because he is one of the seven, so including his head, he has

seven heads when he is an eighth king. John saw one of his heads as if it had been slain,

and his fatal wound was healed. You see, the beast belongs to the seven. Let’s also

remember that the scarlet beast was full of names of blasphemy; could it have been full of

names of blasphemy as a leopard is full of dots? [And know this: Revelation 14:8-11 - 8 And

another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has

made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 9 Then a third angel followed

them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his

mark on his forehead or on his hand,10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath

of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be

tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the

Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or

night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”]

So if the head that receives the fatal wound IS NOT, at the time of the sixth

king’s reign, it sort of makes you wonder how long he IS NOT. Doesn’t it?

P a g e | 15


And again we are reminded in Revelation 17 about the following:

Revelation 17:14

14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them,

because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the

called and chosen and faithful."

To see exactly how the Lamb overcomes the beast; study and review Chapters 14, 15, 16,

17, 18 and 19 in Revelation. [These are all chapters directly after Chapter 13, when the

beast that comes out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns and the ten horns have

crowns; that prior they had not yet received, receive authority as kings with the beast for one

hour, who are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

(Revelation 17:12-13); and the beast that comes out of the earth exercises all the authority

of the first beast in his presence. (Read context of Revelation 13:11).] And in Revelation

Chapter 17, we are given a scene of what to look for before the beast comes.

Now I will direct your attention again to this:

Revelation 17:8-13 8 "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to

destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of

life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not

and will come. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on

which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other

has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 And the beast that

was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. 12

The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they

receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will

give their power and authority to the beast.

Perdition IS the abyss. This makes sense, because the scarlet beast is not, at the time of the

sixth king’s reign, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. And is about to come up

out of the abyss and go to destruction, Revelation 17:8, (So it makes sense that he would be

called the “son of perdition” [2 Thessalonians 2:3], because he is going to perdition before

he ascends it- before he ascends the abyss) (Revelation 17:8-13); because remember, he is

one of the seven, and is going to perdition, but he himself is also the eighth king; he must

ascend the abyss, to be the eighth king – Revelation 17:8-13. Also review the context of

Luke 8:31 in regards to the abyss.

So it seems to me that the war in Heaven may not start until all seven kings have come (I

am referring to Revelation Chapter 12). Because you will notice, when the great red

dragon is fought against, he has seven heads, and ten horns, with seven crowns on his

heads. The scarlet beast does not have crowns on his heads; in any of the beast’s

description. Which makes sense because it is the dragon that gives the beast his throne and

great authority. So their crowns are the devil’s, them not realizing it is Satan that gives

them their authority. Or they think it is “Allah”, not realizing who it REALLY is (which

would be the devil). (Review 2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

The following is the low down of what happened in the assassination of King Faisal:

(Source: trivia-library.com)

A 27-year-old Arabian prince, whose Western-style long hair was hidden beneath a flowing

headdress and traditional white robe, joined the Kuwaitis in a reception line. His uncle

recognized him and lowered his imperial head so that the nephew might, according to custom,

kiss the tip of the ruler's nose. Instead, the young man reached under his cloak, pulled out a

pistol, and shot King Faisal three times in the face. The first shot went through the brain and

killed him instantly.

King Faisal appears to be the eighth king

who is one of the seven, and is not. He

appears to be one of the heads whose fatal

wound will be healed and will come to life.

Today King Abdullah (the one who is; the sixth of Saudi Arabia) is eighty-four years of

age, and the woman seems to be carried by the scarlet beast now. There are even reports

that King Abdullah will be giving Mecca a 60 Billion dollar or so, over-haul, so it can

support the once a year pilgrimage that takes place. And make more room. I pray that

God gives all of you wisdom to understand everything presented here.

Revelation 20:4

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them,

and judgment was committed to them. Then

I saw the souls of those who had been

beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for

the word of God, who had not worshiped the

beast or his image, and had not received his

mark on their foreheads or on their hands.

And they lived and reigned with Christ for a

thousand years.

Christians Beheaded

(Source:

http://www/aina.org/releases/cecilia.htm)

Assyrian Nun Savagely Murdered in

Baghdad. The very nature of the slitting

and beheading is believed to be a

prototypical signature of Islamic

extremist putting of "infidels" to the

sword. By killing Sr. Cecilia the day before

a nationwide Christian spiritual retreat, the

killers apparently hoped to maximally

terrorize and horrify the Iraqi Christian

community.

Yes, so we can see, there is an obvious

foundation, for the institution of

beheading anyone for their witness to

Jesus, and for the word of God, who are

not going to receive the mark of the beast

on their foreheads or on their hands.

When the time comes. Even today you can

go to Google Images, and know Islam is

infamous for beheading Christians.

Revelation 18 (Picture Source: http://www.xanga.com/Babylon_The_Great/544855801/item.html)

The picture is inspired by Revelation 17:16-17, (Although the horns in the picture ought to

have crowns).

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and

the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying,

"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for

every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of

the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with

her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."

4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in

her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has

remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double

according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure

that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and

sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'

8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day--death and mourning and famine. And she will be

utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 9 "The kings of the earth

who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when

they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying,

'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their

merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen

and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind

of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense,

fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and

chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you,

and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no

more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance

for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was

clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

P a g e | 19


17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship,

sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the

smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?' 19 They threw dust on their heads

and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had

ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.' 20 Rejoice

over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!"

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

"Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found

anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you

anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone

shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and

the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were

the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was

found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."

Notice that I underlined “God has remembered her iniquities.” in the fifth verse. What a

coincidence, when the woman in the basket was prophesied about; it was Zechariah that

recorded the vision. The name “Zechariah” means, “The Lord remembers”. Here is also

even more insight about this harlot, that I want you to pay close attention. There is

another chapter which gives more understanding:

Revelation 14:8 And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has

made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

I don’t know if anyone knows well about the motive of Islamic extremists; is they are told

they will receive a certain number of virgins, when they strap the explosive vest to their

backs and make people, literally, drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication. You see

the Bible is explicit when it says the blood of the saints and prophets are found in her, and

of all who were slain on the earth, found in Revelation 18:24. They do not only focus on

Christians and Jews, but even their own people, and other people from other nations.

Furthermore, this blood is found in her, because those that are able bodied Muslims, are

REQUIRED to go to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. Which includes the zealot

extremists, and I bet they go to Mecca before they strap on the bomb belt, so as to not

break the “five pillars of faith” they abide by. Also note, this part in Revelation does not

say ALL the blood of the prophets and saints, but just simply, “found the blood of prophets

and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” Also in Revelation 14:8, the angel talks

about, “she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” And I

believe America is also one of those nations too, what do you think? Let’s take a look shall

we?

killings they routinely practice, and the fourth plane that went down by some heroic

they behead Christians, and others are slain too. And they feel they are upheld by the

Jidda, Mecca’s Port on the Red Sea (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeddah)

Jeddah (also spelled Jiddah, Jidda, or Jedda; Arabic: جّدة Ǧiddah) is a Saudi Arabian city located

on the coast of the Red Sea and is the major urban center of western Saudi Arabia. It is the

largest city in Makkah Province, and the second largest city in Saudi Arabia after the capital city,

Riyadh. The population of the city currently stands at over 3.4 million. It is considered the

commercial capital of Saudi Arabia [1]

and the wealthiest city in the Middle East and

western Asia. Jeddah is the principal gateway to Mecca, Islam's holiest city, which able-

bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in a lifetime.

Residents of Jeddah are called Jeddans. Jeddah has 24 sister cities, which are selected based on

economic, cultural and political criteria.

Jidda (Source: questia.com/library/encyclopedia/jidda.jsp)

Jĭˈdə or Jeddajĕ–, city (1993 est. pop. 2,058,000), Hejaz, W Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea.

Jidda is the port of Mecca (c.45 mi/72 km to the east) and annually receives a huge influx of

pilgrims, mainly from Africa, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Unlike Mecca, Jidda has always accepted

visitors of all religions. The diverse local population includes a large admixture of Africans,

Persians, Yemenis, and Indians. Most are employed in the oil industry. There are few exports,

but many goods are imported to support the pilgrims. The city is the administrative capital

of Saudi Arabia. Jidda was ruled by the Turks until 1916, when it became part of the

independent Hejaz. In 1925 it was conquered by Ibn Saud. Oil wealth brought expansion of the

city and its seaport; the city walls came down in 1947 and a desalinization plant was built in the

1970s. Present Jidda is not more than three centuries old, but Old Jidda, c.12 mi (19 km) south of

the modern city, was founded c.646 by the caliph Uthman.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture? Mid-Tribulation Rapture? Post-

Tribulation Rapture? Or how about just - “He will come again?”

I am so very tired of hearing about pre-tribulation rapture. And I do not like the term post-trib,

though that is what I will be labeled after this blog presentation. believe me when I say, it is

NOT a matter of which one is correct, or which one do I like, "I’ll pick this one". Just keep in

mind as I post irrefutable facts that we ought to not EVEN use the word or term "rapture". And

it is NOT because the word is not in the Bible, it is because by using the synonym word

definition for "caught-up" (the word rapture), it has become an entire new doctrine, and I really

don't like it. In fact it is not new. For the background for "rapture", go to

www.apologeticsindex.org (careful, .com is a jewelry site).

Areas of my study include:

What Jesus testified about His return.

What the apostle Paul spoke of the Lord's return.

What king David prophesied (briefly).

What Zechariah predicts.

Finally, what John saw in Revelation that ties ALL of them together.

This will be a meaty section, so let's start with the famous area of scripture that the

doctrine of Pre-Tribulation Rapture loves to use:

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you

sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God

will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,

that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means

precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with

a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise

first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to

meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another

with these words.

P a g e | 24


So from the information in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, there will be those that are alive and remain,

until the coming of the Lord. And when the Lord comes, God will bring with Him those who sleep

in Jesus. He will bring those that sleep in Jesus, because the Lord Himself will descend from

heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in

Christ will rise first. It is these dead in Christ that God will bring with Him, when the Lord

comes. And you see, those that are alive and remain will by no means precede those that are asleep.

God will bring with Him those that sleep in Jesus, who will rise first, then we who are alive and

remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus

we shall always be with the Lord. And those that are alive and remain, won’t be caught up

together with them, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, until He comes. Because before he

says, “we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means

precede those who are asleep”; then goes on to explain, that those that sleep in Jesus, will

rise first.

Let's look at further context at a letter Paul wrote to the SAME people discussing the

SAME subject, I said meat didn't I?

2 Thessalonians 2:1 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together

to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or

by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

So in 1 Thessalonians Paul wrote to the Thessalonians comforting words about when we

would be caught up together. In 2 Thessalonians Paul writes to them AGAIN saying

"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to

Him. Right? He is talking about the SAME occurrence and subject; let's look further to

SEE what he says about it.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away

comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts

himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of

God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I

told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his

own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will

do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom

the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His

coming.

P a g e | 25


So there is a lot of information in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8, on this same subject. Paul in 1

Thessalonians gave account and comforting words about the Lord descending with a shout,

and gathering with them in the clouds to meet Him in the air right? And that makes sense

because Jesus will be coming in the clouds. In 2 Thessalonians Paul states "now

concerning our gathering with Him", and the FACT that concerning THAT Day, it will

NOT happen until the lawless one is revealed, the son of perdition right? And the son of

perdition will not be revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the way right? People like

to say that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit and the Church, and when He is taken out of

the way, out goes the Church as well. BUT Paul said about our gathering with the Lord,

that it WILL NOT happen until the lawless one is revealed right? So if that is the case, the

restrainer is taken out of the way BEFORE the lawless one is revealed, therefore, ONLY

the restrainer is taken out of the way, NOT the Church, because remember our gathering

with the Lord does not happen until the lawless one is revealed, and the lawless one won't

be revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the way. So in other words, our gathering

with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air will not happen until:

Restrainer is taken out of the way.

Lawless one is revealed.

And the Lawless one won’t be revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the way.

Alright, I think I have made my point, I have said the same thing about 3-5 different ways,

in the same paragraph. So let's move on shall we?

Here is another example of scripture that is used for secret pre-tribulation rapture (I will

use more than one Gospel account to show it is not secret; even from the areas which they

say there will be a secret rapture):

So we see here in Matthew Jesus is talking about His coming, and is illustrating what those

days are like:

Matthew 24:37-51 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the

days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the

day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away,

so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be

taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and

the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But

know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would

have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for

the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45 "Who then is a faithful and wise

P a g e | 26


servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I

say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his

heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat

and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not

looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint

him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

WARNING: I can see how people might think He is delaying in His coming; if they think

there will be some secret rapture before the tribulation. His delay is not His denial.

Here is another angle:

Luke 17:30-37 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They

ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered

the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot:

They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot

went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.30 Even so

will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 In that day, he who is on the

housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And

likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever

seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that

night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two

women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will

be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left." 37 And they answered and said to

Him, "Where, Lord?" So He said to them, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be

gathered together."

So there again Jesus is talking about His physical return, nothing secret at all, because you

notice above in Luke 17:30-37, I underlined "when the Son of Man is revealed"; and the

“coming of the Son of Man be”, in Matthew 24:37-51. (For more information about when

the Son of Man is revealed, go here: 1 Thessalonians 1:7-10)

Please NOTE, I have underlined and bolded ""Wherever the body is, there the eagles will

be gathered together." ", please keep it in mind.

P a g e | 27


Here is another angle:

Matthew 24:27-28 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so

also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the

carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

You see!? There again Jesus is giving a glimpse of His return to

Earth. Now you MUST understand; Jesus gives signs of how sure it

really is that it is Him returning. First He says “lightning”. Then

He leaves this mysterious "wherever the carcass is, there the eagles

will be gathered together". And we know that those that are alive

and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede

those that sleep in Jesus; and God will bring with Him those that

sleep in Jesus, when He returns, because they rose first, right?

And PLEASE remember everyone: Jesus said in Matthew 24:36,

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of

heaven, but My Father only.” In regards to when He returns.

Now let's look at what John saw in Revelation!!!

Zechariah 14:3 3 Then the Lord will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the

day of battle.

P a g e | 28


Matthew 24:27 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will

the coming of the Son of Man be.

Revelation 19:11-21 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on

him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes

war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many

crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was

clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of

God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,

followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,

that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with

a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of

Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 Then I saw an angel

standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds

that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather together for the

supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh

of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who

sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and

great." 19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies,

gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against

His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet

who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received

the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were

cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were

killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat

on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Matthew 24:28 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

P a g e | 29


Psalm 91:7-8

7 A thousand may fall at your

side, And ten thousand at your

right hand; But it shall not come

near you. 8 Only with your eyes

shall you look, And see the

reward of the wicked.

1 Thessalonians 5:9

For God did not appoint us to

wrath, but to obtain salvation

through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Hebrews 9:28

so Christ was offered once to

bear the sins of many. To those

who eagerly wait for Him He

will appear a second time,

apart from sin, for salvation.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

17 Then we who are alive and

remain shall be caught up

together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air. And

thus we shall always be with the

Lord.

Zechariah 14:4

4 And in that day His feet will

stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the

east. And the Mount of Olives

shall be split in two, From east

to west, Making a very large

valley; Half of the mountain

shall move toward the north And

half of it toward the south

You did see the Son of Man returning in Revelation 19:11-21 Right? And you saw the

birds? Good, because Jesus even said so before He was crucified, during His earthly visit,

that wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together, when He comes.

And I also hope that you saw His return as the Day of the Lord. It is evident that the son of

perdition was revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:1-8), and the Lord came in Revelation 19:11-21,

and captured the beast (the son of perdition – see page 15) and false prophet, and cast them

alive into the lake of fire; which has not happened yet. It is also noteworthy to point out

that it says they were cast ALIVE into the lake of fire. Some hold the view that all of this

has happened already, but not so. Otherwise how are they cast “alive” into the lake of

fire? For every dictator from Rome to present, that have been suspected of being the beast,

none were captured by the Lord and cast alive into the lake of fire. All of them died. Not

only that, we can clearly see, that if those that are alive and remain, go through the period

when God pours out the seven bowls, full of the wrath of God, it will not come near them,

only with their eyes shall they look, And see the reward of the wicked; because God did not

appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

His Return and what must happen, if any are missing; don’t be deceived He hasn’t

returned yet:

1. As the lightning shines from the east to the west so will be the coming of the Son of

Man –Matthew 24:27

2. Birds that fly in the midst of heaven – Revelation 19:17-18 (i.e. eagles, vultures, etc)

3. Beast will be captured, and the false prophet too – Revelation 19:20

4. Both the beast and the false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire – Revelation

19:20

5. The rest will be killed by the sword that proceeded out of the mouth of Him who sat on

the horse – Revelation 19:21

6. And all the birds were filled with their flesh – Revelation 19:21

7. We who are alive and remain will be gathered in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air –

1 Thessalonians 4:17 (one will be taken, and one will be left – Matthew 24:27-28)

8. The Lord will stand on the Mount of Olives, and it will be spit in two from east to west –

Zechariah 14:4

9. And before it all this happens, the son of perdition must be revealed. - 2 Thessalonians

2:1-8

And how do I know Zechariah 14:4 is talking about the Day of the Lord and His return?

Well, right here:

Acts 1:9-12 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud

received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went

up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do

you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,

will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." 12 Then they returned to

Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.

So as it is prophesied in Zechariah 14:4 also about the Lords return that He will stand on

the Mount of Olives (in all actuality many things are prophesied in Zechariah, even the two

witnesses mentioned in Revelation). So the men in white apparel said He will so come in

like manner as you saw Him go into heaven. And they returned from the mount called

Olivet, which is the Mount of Olives. That was where Jesus ascended from, and that is

where He will stand when He returns.

So we see two groups, or ones that are taken and left, it is apparent the ones that are taken,

are alive and remain and are caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, as Jesus

has already said, He will be coming in the clouds and EVERY eye will see Him. The others

are left with the birds.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall

not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,

at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will

sound, and the dead will be raised

incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 John 3:2

2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and

it has not yet been revealed what we shall

be, but we know that when He is

revealed, we shall be like Him, for we

shall see Him as He is.

So when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, this signifies a change as in 1 Corinthians

15:52 as stated above. And it happens to be when He is revealed, that we will be changed.

Every eye is going to see Jesus, but not everyone will be caught up in the clouds to meet

Him in the air. For stone proof of this review Matthew Chapter 25. It is said we shall not

all sleep, but we shall be changed, which makes sense because in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, it is

stated, “17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the

clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. ” We have

knowledge, that on that Day, He will stand on the Mount of Olives, but before He does, we

will meet Him in the air. No matter where He goes from there, we will always be with Him

forever, I say this so you understand; we know He will stand on the Mount of Olives. So

that you better understand, just think of all the times you heard a knock at the door; you

open the door and meet the person at the door. Think about it, gnaw on it, and please do

review Matthew Chapter 25. And how long does it take to see something that light has

shone on? How much less time would it take to see The Great Light, who created all

things? Probably in the twinkling of an eye, wouldn’t you say? And, how many trumpets

are there in Revelation? Review above in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 regarding the last

Trumpet. BUT, remember it is not for us to know times and seasons appointed by the

Father as Jesus has said in Acts 1:7. The timing of it is only known by the Father.

Revelation 1:7 7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who

pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so,

Amen.

Do you consider yourself to be a Good Person? In this world you might be a

good person, but what about when you compare yourself to God’s Holy

Standard…The Ten Commandments? (Proverbs 20:6, Romans 3:12) Let’s

see. Have you ever stolen anything, or ever told a lie? The Bible says anyone who hates his

brother is a murderer. Have you ever hated anyone? (1 John 3:15) And Jesus said that if a man

even looks at another woman with lust he has committed adultery already with her in his heart

(Matthew 5:28). Have you ever looked with lust? Have you ever used the Lord’s Name in vain?

Do you think you would be innocent or guilty if God Judges you by the Ten Commandments?

(The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20) (James 2:10, Romans 3:19) If you have said

yes to any of the questions above; then by your own admission you are a lying, thieving,

blasphemous adulterer at heart, and you have to face God on Judgment Day and we’ve only

shown five of the Ten Commandments. You will have your part in the lake which burns with fire

and brimstone, which is the second death; where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not

quenched.' if and when God Judges you. (Revelation 21:8, Mark 9:44, Isaiah 66:24). But

God did something so you don’t have to go there...

There is Good News, And only God is Good (Matthew 19:17)

Hebrews 9:27-28: 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He

will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. (Also review: John 3:18-21, 1 John 5:10)

God sent His Son from Heaven (John 6:33-35), 2000 years ago, to die for you, He was born of

a virgin and became flesh (John 1:1, John 1:14), He was sinless, but gave Himself to take away

our sins, and crucified bearing the wrath of God in our place, being nailed to the cross as the

Perfect Sacrifice for all humanity (Hebrews 10:14). He shed His Precious Blood for the sins of

many, and He died and was buried, and on the Third Day He rose from the dead (John 2:19-21,

Romans 4:25, Romans 1:4). After that, He appeared to more than 500 brethren at the same time

(1 Corinthians 15:6); and ascended to the Right Hand of God Almighty (Acts 2:32-33). Are you

wondering what you should do? Read John 3:16, Mark 16:16, and Acts 2:37-38 in your Bible.

God says to Repent (turn and forsake your sins and confess to God you have sinned against

Him) (Acts 17:30, Isaiah 55:7, Ezekiel 33:11, 1 John 1:9, Psalms 51) and be baptized in the

Name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts

2:38). So I encourage you after reading this, to Repent and believe the Good News! And go to a

local Bible believing church to be baptized in water in the Name of Jesus, (Acts 4:12, Acts

22:16) for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit, which is

eternal life. You may have already received the Holy Spirit so review Acts 10:47-48; and you

will be sealed until the Day of Redemption and be born again (John 3:3-8), (Ephesians 1:13,

Ephesians 4:30, Acts 8:16-17, Hebrews 9:28).

P a g e | 33


And remember, you can only be saved by believing in Jesus, and being baptized in His Name,

and trusting in Him and His finished work on the Cross; alone for salvation. (John 8:24, John

11:25, John 6:29, Ephesians 2:9, Acts 4:12, 2 Kings 5:1-14, Luke 4:27). For the wages of sin

is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23,

Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:4, John Chapter 10). For any Church member that might get this

review Jeremiah 9:25-26, Acts 2:38 and Colossians 2:9-12 for admonition and remember

Galatians 3:24. And know that we would not be able to be baptized in His Glorious Name

unless He died on the Cross for our sins. If He didn’t die, His Name would not have been

graciously given to us – Acts 4:12. Indeed we know He shed His blood for the sins of many and

took our punishment. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins, or even a

Name given that we might have life– Hebrews 9:22. John 20:31

Hebrews 8:6 – To believe the Gospel and be baptized in the Glorious Name of Jesus is amongst

the better promises to be saved that Hebrews 8:6 says. Which are not possible unless Jesus died

and shed His Precious Blood on the Cross - Hebrews 9:22; and indeed He shed His Blood and

died, was buried and on the third Day He rose again!!! (Mark 16:16).

There is only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. – Ephesians 4:5. Romans 4:25.

As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And

whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”… Romans 9:33

All who call on The Name of Jesus will be saved…...Acts 2:21, Acts 22:16, 1 Corinthians 1:2

All who confess with their mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in their heart that God raised

Him from the dead will be saved…………………………………..........………..Romans 10:9

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has

everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into

life……………………………....…Jesus in John 5:24; also review John 6:40 and John 20:29

Keep His commandments and He will manifest Himself to you…John 14:21, Luke 10:27-28

Ask Jesus and He will teach you………………………………………...….….Matthew 23:10

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us

from all unrighteousness………………………..……………..………..1 John 1:9, Mark 1:5

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be

opened…………………………………………………...……..Matthew 7:7-8, Proverbs 8:17

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of

God, not of works, lest anyone should boast…………………….....Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 15:11

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no

means cast out……………………………………………...……..……..…Jesus in John 6:37

John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one

Matthew 26:6-13 6 And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him

having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at

the table. 8 But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For

this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor." 10 But when Jesus was

aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for

Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. 12 For in

pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you,

wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told

as a memorial to her."

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that

you also love one another. - Jesus in John 13:34

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. - Jesus in John

15:12

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and

the Prophets. - Jesus in Matthew 7:12

And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus

Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. - 1 John 3:23

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on

the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks,

He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in

remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying,

"This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in

remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you

proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks

this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the

Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the

cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to

himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. - 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

So now the question is not a matter of whether or not you are a Good Person, or if you are good

enough to go to Heaven, no one is, we all need to be saved, we all need the Savior (Acts 4:12),

because all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23). The question is: Do

you believe Jesus is the Son of God? In Mark 16:16 we read that he who believes and is

baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned, there is no question. So

if you believe with all your heart Jesus is the Son of God, then you may be baptized. Acts 8:36-

38, Ephesians 4:5. If you do not believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit will convict you shortly.

P a g e | 35


[John 16:8-9 - 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness,

and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;] And He has already come, and is

here. The Holy Spirit is Whom God poured out shortly after Jesus ascended to the Right Hand

of God; He is the Helper (John 16:7), and reminds us of everything Jesus spoke, and leads us

into all truth. As He will you, if you repent, and trust the Savior; Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the

Living God. (Review Acts Chapter 2). So what are you waiting for? May the Lord bless you

and His Grace be with you. For any Church member that might get this review Jeremiah 9:25-

26, Acts 2:38 and Colossians 2:9-12 for admonition and remember Galatians 3:24.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die,

he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" - John

11:25-26, John 6:40, James 2:23, 1 John 5:10-13

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ

whom You have sent…………………………………………………....Jesus in John 17:3

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at

the last day………………….….Jesus in John 6:54. Also review 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be

condemned……………………………..……………………………..Jesus in Mark 16:16

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,……….…….……...Jesus in Matthew 28:9

What is the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit? Answer: JESUS.

The following verses prove it: Micah 5:2-4, John 17:6, John 14:26, Acts 2:38, John 10:1-18,

John 20:17, Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:10, Isaiah 45:23. May the Lord bless and keep you, and

lavish His love on you, that you might be called a son or daughter of the Father of our Lord,

Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God. And by believing on the Name of His Son, Jesus,

you might be justified freely and live by faith in Christ Jesus alone. Who was in the beginning

with God, and was God. He is the Word of God, who became flesh, and His glory was beheld,

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth; who was delivered up

because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. He and His Father are one

(John 1:1, John 1:14, John 10:30, Romans 4:5, Romans 4:25). 1 John 5:5 - Who is he who

overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Review - John 6:37, 2

Matthew 5

1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples

came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who

mourn, For they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. 7 Blessed

are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see

God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are those

who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are

you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My

sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they

persecuted the prophets who were before you.

13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is

then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 You are the light

of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it

under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your

light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to

fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by

no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of

these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but

whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say

to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you

will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders

will be in danger of the judgment.' 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother

without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall

be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has

something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be

reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary

quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the

judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you,

you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say

to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in

his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more

profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more

P a g e | 37


profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

31 "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of

divorce.' 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual

immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced

commits adultery.

33 "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall

perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it

is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of

the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or

black. 37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from

the evil one.

38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I tell you

not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him

also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you,

and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But

I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and

pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father

in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and

on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax

collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than

others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your

Father in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 6

1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them.

Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a

charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in

the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is

doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will

Himself reward you openly.

5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the

synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to

you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have

shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret

will reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For

P a g e | 38


they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Therefore do not be like them. For

your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your

kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily

bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into

temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the

glory forever. Amen. 14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also

forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive

your trespasses.

16 "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they

disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have

their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do

not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father

who sees in secret will reward you openly.

19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where

thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth

nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there

your heart will be also. 22 "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your

whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of

darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 "No one

can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal

to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will

drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more

than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns;

yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by

worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the

lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even

Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of

the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe

you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall

we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your

heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and

His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about

tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own

trouble.

of God and do it."

Matthew 7

1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged;

and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the

speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you

say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own

eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to

remove the speck from your brother's eye. 6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your

pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be

opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to

give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good

things to those who ask Him!

12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the

Prophets. 13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to

destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the

way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are

ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from

thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree

bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every

tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their

fruits you will know them.

21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who

does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we

not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your

name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice

lawlessness!' 24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken

him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came,

and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish

man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds

blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." 28 And so it was, when Jesus had

ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as

one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Luke 6:46

"But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
