Revelation 19Revelation 19:1-21

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lordour God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Revelation 19 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

We are living in the time where we will see the rise of the Antichrist, the rapture of the church, and the return of the Lord with all of his saints.

Modern Morality

All you have to do is look around and realize that we are living in a Sodom and Gomorrah type of society. Our country endorses promiscuousness, fornication, children having sex, and adultery. We live in a society that loves lasciviousness! Just look at the pornography that is shown every day and evening on your TV. Some of the shows that are on network TV would have an 'R' rating in the movie theaters.

Schools hand out condoms, birth control pills, while teaching the children on how to have “safe sex.” This government endorsement of promiscuousness is sin against God!

In the last days, perilous times shall come. We are living in the wicked time prophesied in the Bible. The morality of the past is gone and exchanged for a life of wickedness.

Philadelphia is the modern equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah with their celebration of “Gay Pride Month.” Philadelphia worships all that is wicked and evil!

Modern MoralityJude 1:7

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Kings of the EastKings of the East

The Kings of the East have steadily been increasing in power since the 1970's. Iraq and Iran were both of interest to the Army in the 1970's. When I was a cartographic draftsman in Schwetzingen, Germany during the 70's I worked on situation overlays of both Iraq and Iran. This was before Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostage Crisis.

Since that time we have seen Iran continue to work on their nuclear missile and we have seen their incursion into Iraq. They continue to threaten the very existence of Israel with continually threating to wipe them off the face of the earth.

Revelation 16:12

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Economic Collapse

Revelation 13:16-17

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The mark of the beast will be sold as a means to prevent counterfeiting and fraud. In reality, the chip will not only have your bank account information, but will also have a GPS within it that will be able to track your movements.

The world will worship this new marvel without even giving a thought to the ramifications. These are not just spiritual ramifications, but ramifications that will also enslave the receivers of the chip to the Antichrist.

We are witnessing the start of a Great Depression that will make the 1930's look like easy street!

Economic CollapseRecently we have witnessed the start of an

economic collapse. There are houses going up for sale all over the country. The news is continually showing us people who have had their homes foreclosed on them. We are also witnessing runs on banks which have not happened since the Great Depression. The value of the U.S. dollar has plummeted making it more costly for us to buy goods.

We are also witnessing a call for the government to do something which can only lead to the mark of the beast. The collapse that we are witnessing is an item that will bring about the rise of the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will use the economy as a precursor to his coming to power. He will have all of the answers for improving the economy including the tattoo which will probably include a chip in the forehead or their right hand.

The Rise of the AntichristThe world is being prepared for the rise of the

Antichrist. With the falling dollar, the impending economic collapse, the rise of the Kings of the East, along with world terrorism, we are being set up for the rise of the Antichrist. This agent of Satan will seem to have all the answers for all of the world's woes. He will even be able to persuade many weak Christians to follow him. He will even persuade many to receive the mark of the beast!

This evil event is not somewhere off in the far distant future, but the recent events indicate that now is the time, now is the hour to make your calling and election sure!

We are living in the day where we are seeing the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. With the dollar in free fall, the housing crisis, world terrorism, and all of the other signs, do you think that you can wait another day before repenting and seeking the Lord Jesus Christ?

NOW IS THE HOUR to call upon the Lord and make your calling and election sure! Jesus is calling you now! Jesus who gave his life on the cross of Calvary is seeking you today.

2 Corinthians 6:2

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
