END TIMES
12-16-2009

I have many reasons for believing this but since I am fairly busy this morning, let me show you a couple of reasons why I believe these are the end times.

My style is to just show Bible verses and not add too much of my own words to them. However some explaining is in order.

When I give you a verse, we both know that the verse is only part of a paragraph. You need to get your Bible and get the full context of the verse, I only post enough to give you a map of what I am talking about, but to save space and "paper" I just post the verses that make the point.

I follow up the verses with definitions from the Strong's concordance. I don't always follow the links to the end, sometimes the definitions start to go off track and I don't feel a need to post them. If you don't have a concordance and want to know the extra material, let me know and I will send it to you.

I am not trying to sell doctrine or convert anyone, but I am just trying to share what I believe to be true. You need to look at everything and decide if you think I am right or off my rocker!! :)

Let me start with a verse that I have been working with for about a year and a half. It is the "pale horse" of Revelation. Death is to ride in on a pale horse.

Death is another name for Satan, Lucifer who is also antichrist.
The part about a horse, I believe, is not actually an animal but a movement. The green movement (global warming!).

Global warming itself is being treated like it is a religion, there is more evidence that there is no man made global warming than there is to prove there is. Global Warming itself is a product of the United Nations, not the scientific community. I believe it is part of the movement to start the formation of the one world order as promised in Revelation.

Revelation 12:9
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
KJV

Revelation 20:2-3
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
KJV

Now here in Ezekiel, the king of Tyrus is yet another name of Satan (antichrist) as well as the king of Babylon and Assyria. Depending upon where you are reading and what the context of the time is. You can tell that Tyrus is Satan by the description given in the verses:

Ezekiel 28:12-18
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
KJV

As you can see, God has condemned Tyrus (Satan) to death, being turned to ashes! Satan is the only being to ever be condemned to death by name. Thus one of his names is "Death".

Revelation 9:11
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
KJV

Abaddon: NT:3: Abaddon (ab-ad-dohn'); of Hebrew origin [OT:11]; a destroying angel:
KJV - Abaddon.

OT:11: 'abaddown (ab-ad-done');
intensive from OT:6; abstract, a perishing; concrete, Hades:
KJV - destruction.

Apollyon: NT:623: Apolluon (ap-ol-loo'-ohn); active participle of NT:622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan):
KJV - Apollyon.

NT:622: apollumi (ap-ol'-loo-mee);
from NT:575 and the base of NT:3639; to destroy fully (reflexively, to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively:
KJV - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.

NT:575
apo (apo'); a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative):
KJV - (X here-) after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for (-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-) on (-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc.

NT:3639
olethros (ol'-eth-ros);
from a primary ollumi (to destroy; a prolonged form); ruin, i.e. death, punishment:
KJV - destruction.

OK, If I have made my case and proved that Satan is also Death, then the pale horse comes next:

Revelation 6:8
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
KJV

Pale: NT:5515
chloros (khlo-ros');
from the same as NT:5514; greenish, i.e. verdant, dun-colored:
KJV - green, pale.

NT:5514
Chloe (khlo'-ay); feminine of apparently a primary word; "green"; Chloe, a Christian female:
KJV - Chloe.

Horse, in the Strong's is simply "a horse".

I believe that I have now proved that Death (antichrist) will be riding in on the green movement (I hope) now let me show you another verse:

Daniel 11:20-21
20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
KJV

Vile person has always been a reference to Satan.

One last point, you will hear, as I have heard, that people have been saying these things for years. True, but here are some verses to consider:

2 Peter 3:2-4
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
KJV

Have you heard anyone saying “he isn’t coming” before?

And finally, why now and not during some other event in history?

Matthew 24:32-35
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
KJV

According to my Companion Bible, a scholar named Bullingrer made these three identifications concerning the relationship of Israel to the various trees as stated in the book of Judges:

Judges 9:8-14
The Fig tree in Scripture represents “The National Privilege of Israel”.
The Olive tree in Scripture represents “The Religious Privilege of Israel”.
The Vine in Scripture represents “The Spiritual Privilege of Israel”.

The parable of Matthew 24 is the parable of the FIG TREE, referring to the nation of Israel. In 1948, the UN planted Israel back in it's home land, it was not in it's home land since it was taken away shortly after the death of Christ over 2,000 years ago. So now we have the Fig Tree back and this is a unique condition to all the rest of the events including WWII.

This parable simply means that before the people that were born around 1948 all pass away, all the rest of prophecy will be fulfilled.

So now we have the pale horse, the raiser of taxes and it is all happening late into the generation of the Fig Tree. I was born in 1949 and I am now 60. The generation of the fig tree is aging very fast.

Well, this is most of what I wanted to show you right now. I may be wrong, but if I am, I can't imagine how another similar incident can develop before the generation of the Fig Tree passes that meets so much of the prophecies set forth.
