“The beast that ascends from the bottomless pit” would “make war upon” God’s “two witnesses” – His “two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth” – and would “conquer them and kill them” and leave their “dead bodies” in the the “street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt”“For three days and half”“those who dwell on the earth” would “rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents.” But after the three and half days, the two witnesses would return to life and go up to heaven. “At that hour,” John saw, “there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell: seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.” Revelation 11:3-13.
In the last days a, “Western Explosion” occurred that carried European concepts and technology all around the world. Professor William H. McNeill, in his high acclaimed masterwork, The Rise of the West, fulfilled prophecy beginning with the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. An “earthquake” revolution brings us to the the dramatic rise of modern nationalism and changed world history by producing modern universal conscription, leading, in turn, to the immense armies and drastically murderous wars that characterize our times.
Professor Palmer adds a most appropriate observation. He says a contemporary historian described this revolutionary era as an earthquake. John too speaks of an “earthquake” in Revelation 11:13. The choice of words are appropriate for revolutions, its hatred of Christianity, and for its violence. “No one is safe during the Terror of a civil war, rich or poor, have no legal defense, mock trials, prisons are full, and people accused of counter revolutionary activity are herded into trembling huddles. The disposal of bodies becomes a problem. War takes lives. Popular interest in a democratic government led to the first true national army in any Western country. Austria and Pussia declared war to put a stop to the civil war before. Lybia, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, even in USA, diversity of ideas leads to civil unrest promoted by Lucifer behind the scenes, because Jesus has ruler ship of the World! Satan is doomed to the fiery furnace, warming inside our earth! Let’s be humble before our Lord and God! Fear God not man!
For a time, for years, this earthquake resulted from rejecting the spiritual reformation and wickedness proliferation filled the gap where the “church, was shaken, to its foundations.” Reject the spiritual reformation, reap the revolution, that spins out of control like an earthquake. History repeats, the earth shakes, the revival of men at their worst, plagues the world with destruction, rack and ruin. This is history without a God, who is rejected, and sets in silence, as His people reject Him. Revelation 8:1 “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”
“When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:” (Matthew 27:1). The war is an earthquake against the Government of God, that allows freedom to every man to decide for himself, and herself, to destroy His law, and His prophets, the servants, the messengers or obey it.
This all began in a perfect Garden, with two perfect people, a man and woman, created to subdue the earth. This perfect family does not exist, because of the sin of disobedience against God and Jesus. In the mind of God, He must allow our characters to be tested, refined, polished and humbled, by our own freedom and will of our conscience. By our freedom of speech, God gives us His Word, His defense, His army of angels, to those who wisely use their freedom to express His love, kindness and protection, with death loosing its sting, as we proclaim Jesus the Jew is Our King!
Let no Christian walk into the trap of taking counsel against Jesus to put Him to death!
Has the Seventh Day Adventist Church been three and half days in the hands of the liar? Have we seen this prophecy fulfilled in our churches, this 1/2 baked, 1/2 raw, pancake, that God and Jesus plan to spit out of their mouths, because, like the Jews, we have not written THE LAW on our HEARTS OF FLESH?
Jeremiah understood quite well, the effect of upon the rich, lame and lazy Jews, who rested on their protection from coming from the fact, “We have the ARK OF THE TESTIMONY OF GOD AMONG US….who can defeat us?” And the box, that contained the LAW AND PROPHETS, will come out of hiding, and expose the EVIL ONE, who changed the times and laws of God, who wrote them as HIS LAW IN HEAVEN, that have been contested by Lucifer, before we became the created victims of his game. Win or lose, this Game of Life, we set out to sail on the Seas of Life, like a canoe on lake, where pray for peaceful passage, so when we get to the other side, we can step out of the death we deserve, to see Jesus waiting to lead us to see the wonders He has prepared for us on the other side!
Heaven does not come cheap. It will require your life, and self sacrifice, to walk alone with God, without being able to trust in your money, or things. Can we do it? Only with the help of His Holy Spirit! Be like Caleb and say, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the River Jordan and God will take over the giants in the land, and bring us into the Land of milk and honey! Let’s not wait another 40 years, before we start trusting the God of Israel, who brought us out of slavery to idols in Egypt and Sodom and Gomorrah!
Self must die. But, it must be a voluntary commitment, to walk in Gideon’s army, not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.
Yes, I have days of wondering, why I don’t trust Him more! I know how He has led me in the past! I wouldn’t change a thing,Walter was invited to pray for the Money Changer at the Jaffa Gate in Israel. I went back months later to see if the Money Changer could still hold up his right hand? I not only found the Money Changer, but the Taxi Cab Driver, Mike, who also was bubbling over because his knee no longer felt pain, because Walter invited God to show up, and God blessed the Taxi man, a Sunni Muslim. Why do we hate to hear, God is hearing the prayers of HIS servants? God is calling us to pray for Him, to heal the WORLD! What is the hang up, if the person is a Muslim? Do we not want the Muslims to praise the Lord? Or are you like Jonah, not wanting them to see Jesus, the way you do? Happy LABOR DAY! And start doing more labor for the LORD TODAY! Start praying for the healing of the land, the end of plagues, the end of prophecy is to grow, to know, we are humbled by His love, to obey because we love Him, and He loves the WORLD! God is not a respecter of persons! HE LOVES! HE GIVES! HE HOPES WE LEARN TO STOP TRYING TO SIT ON HIS THRONE, and think we can change his Laws and Prophets, to be the way we want them to be! Who picks the servants of God, to be in the Royal Priesthood of believers? Who will sit on the Mountain of Assembly in Heaven, closest to God? The Jews? No, my friend, He picks you! He picks the disciples who follow Him, to become fishers of men. Men with certain personality traits that cause them to fish for men in the most unusual ways! Let’s lighten up on how he uses men and woman to do the first duty to God, and that is to glorify His Character! And in compassion to Jesus, we all humbly bow down to His Righteousness not ours, least we should boast, and become proud of what we have done, like the King of Babylon!I see beyond the grave, to better day, with the ALIEN FROM SPACE with 24 chromosomes of LIVING BLOOD! I hope the book the RED HORSE, becomes a profit to you! Amazon and Barnes and Noble have it in Ebook and pamphlet, not large, but very small, and packed with visions of those who have gone before us.They have left their arrowheads and artifacts in the sands of time, like the City of Babylon, whose prophecy was for it to be forever a reminder of a God who said, it shall fall and never be inhabited.
Archeology exposes the great things made by God, turned into horrible things, by the man willing to obey Satan, and useThis “prehistoric” bison-atniquus, in the Wray, Colorado museum, with its collection of arrowheads, places man with pre-flood carbon dated animals, seemingly millions of years old? Who are we to believe? Can a flood bury layers of earth, so quickly, it can petrify trees, animals and living things in almost the speed of a tsunami? Why did God permit Noah, to use forged iron rivets, that held laminated wood together, with “a glue” that has preserved a ship, that sailed the flood that went over the mountains? Oh little man, give in! Where can send us in space to live without boundaries and laws?monsters to destroy life. The earth would have been overpopulated very quickly, in a Garden of Eden like sanctuary until Lucifer put the thorns on the rose bush, and stickers in the field, then bugs to destroy the crops, and genetic mutations to have a BEAST, that could beat the BEAST of another Nation, and the outcome would bring a RULER, a man, to have control of the earth, until the next round of GAMES, for preflood man to live or be destroyed?
What was the purpose of genetic engineering before the flood? How did they fight the pests, created by Lucifer to destroy them? For Lucifer knew the heart of God, and every death, even the leaves falling in autumn, were not something man could prevent! And God would watch, wait until His Law in Heaven was made known on earth, as the standard of righteousness, for man. But man would mock God and think to change the times and laws of God. Why did God created the stubborn Jews? Maybe God understood it would take a stubborn man to sing a stubborn song of rebirth as Son and Daughter of God? And Jesus came in secret to talk to a Jewish Priest. Rebirth in life from sin to obedience was nothing new to this man of God. Jesus would be buried in the Tomb made by this Priest, a Son of God. Not all who call themselves “jews” are the Sons and Daughters of God. Not all who call themselves Muslims, are cruel people! Not all Christians who call themselves servants of God, truly know God. So, who are we to believe, we have all the answers? When God reveals himself, it is to reveal His love and compassion for a world who has wandered off, to please themselves, much like the Jewish Priests in Jesus day, who lived hiding their secret of commiting audultery with Mary of Magadelena, the brother of Lazarus, the prostitute. The young man Jesus loved, to release from the grave, to give the Holy Spirit of His power to raise the dead.
Why do we fear to hear, a young man has invited God, to take away the pain of the Money Changer at the Jappa Gate in Jerusalem? How do we shorten the hand of God, in loving all mankind, Jews, Muslims, Christians and those who think they know it all? What does God have to do, to humble us, to be His servants, instead of sitting on His Throne and telling others, what God wants them to do, to be healed, to be forgiven to be among the living when He comes again?
When the Holy Spirit is being poured out all people, does that not include the church, that has the Gift of Prophecy, the church that has held up the Ten Commandments as the rule of Law on earth, as it is Heaven? Or have we taken on the nature of the BEAST, to kill and stone the servants God has sent us?
Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Will we continue to stone the prophetess? or will we embrace the Prophetess and Prophets, who come in the name of the Lord? Will we REJOICE, with heaven, and the Holy Apostles and prophets, around Gods Throne? For GOD has avenged you on her the false church. Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
This comment to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, comes with great sorrow and humility, towards those who think man cannot be invested with Gods Holy Spirit. In particular to the minister who graduated from Oxford, who stated to me, Mervyn Maxwell could not be “inspired.”I pray for his soul. Not all ministers in the Seventh Day Adventist Church are so proud and self – possessed to think they can judge a man, or woman, who comes in the name of the Lord! You and I are the instruments God must choose to be the channels of light, He gives through the Holy Spirit! With discipleship, comes the discipline of the Lord, the refining in the fiery furnace to purify our characters, if we will ask for it.
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
JESUS HAS THE LAST WORD! These words are written in red.
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.(Luke 13, last verses)
Jesus never sleeps, not slumbers, He keeps His promise! But he will not keep His Church waiting, like a pregnant woman, the church loyal to Him are coming in huge numbers, to a man The Prophet, The Son of God, who died for them, to give them freedom from the guilty conscience, He alone can remove, by honest repentance and turning to obedience.
God Bless the USA and give us peace, as let His face, shine down upon us, to rest in His love for all mankind. War against God is the BEST KIND OF WAR…He always win if we fight with Him!
The stoning of Stephen ended the time of the Jews of being THE CHOSEN PEOPLE. I pray those watching the stoning of the prophetess, Ellen White and prophet, Mervyn Maxwell, will consider what happened to Saul when he watched the stoning of Stephen? And the death of Jesus Christ.
Mat 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Romans 5:8,9)
Christ has made reconciliation for sin, and has borne all its ignominy, reproach, and punishment; and yet while bearing sin, He has brought in everlasting righteousness, so that the believer is spotless before God. . .
But there are many who claim to be children of God who are resting their hope upon other dependencies, rather than on the blood of Christ alone.When urged to rest their faith wholly upon Christ as complete Saviour, many reveal the fact that they have faith in something that they think they can do. They say, “I have a great deal to do before I can be fit to come to Christ.” Another says, “When I have done to the uttermost all that I can do, then the Lord Jesus will come to my help.” They image that they have a great deal to do themselves to save their own souls, and that Jesus will come in and piece out that part which is lacking, and give the finishing stroke to their salvation. These poor souls will not be strong in God until they accept Christ as a complete Saviour. They can add nothing to their salvation.
The Israelites were required to sprinkle the door-posts with the blood of slain lamb, in order that then the angel of death passed through the land, they might escape destruction. Bu if instead of doing this simple act of faith and obedience, they had barricaded the door, and taken every precaution to keep the destroying angel out, their pains would have been in vain. . . .When the blood was seen upon the door-post, it was enough. The salvation of the house was assured. So it is in the work of salvation; it is the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanseth from all sin.
“Through the merits of His blood, you may overcome very spiritual foe, and remedy every defect of character.”
ELLEN WHITE QUOTE: Comment by Connie
Spiritual warfare takes the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit in you, that bows down to Jesus, weak as sheep, He invites us into HIS HOUSE, under His protection, like the Good Shepherd He is.
It is in our spiritual life, that we fight with unseen foes, that Jesus conquered at the cross!
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him. (Romans 5:8,9)

ELLEN G. WHITE QUOTES: from her book, SON AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD. Comments by Connie:
Have we made salvation, by the blood of Jesus Christ, something a child can understand? Or do we need to go back to Jesus Loves Me too! Like a five year old!
Caleb my grandson, was worried that if he did something wrong, it might hurt his cat. And that thought disturbed him. Can an adult replace the idea of hurting a pet, a cat,with the human sacrifice Jesus made, to give us His free gift of salvation?
It was easy as a small child for me to pray for my dying dog.
It’s getting easier to say, “May I pray that God’s will be done on earth, as it is in heaven ~ where there is no sickness, pain or sorrow?” And in the question is the prayer, for my friend to get better. And she smiled. I don’t think it was about the inflamed sore on her leg ~ it more about someone who cared, she was hurting and wanted her to get better, and God agrees, that He does not like sickness, pain or sorrow!
Last weekend a friend told me, “My mother used to pray every day for me.” She had passed away. That moment I decided to be his mother. And I hope that you become my Mother, and pray for me too. I also found a new son, last Sabbath. Out of my mouth, I said, “Thank you son.” And that was not in my vocabulary, but he is a young pastor, and it shocked him too, he also lost his praying Mother.
Maybe this is what a Grandma can do. Include prayers for her growing family, as she adopts those who need a cheering squad, even it is just because we two, know, we two need God and each other?
I have a prayer list, that includes you, those I don’t know, but Jesus does! I daily ask Him, to send out His Angels, to finish the work, I can’t do….and that includes you. LOL Silly Grandma, they call Nana Banana. All incompassing love?
Does that include Jews, Gentiles, beasts and plants, atheist and scientists too….God knows each of you! He knows that is not what Lucifer wants me to do….so what, shall I denying there is a God? Isn’t that how the devil undermines the Government of God???
we shall be saved from the wrath through him.
My God is bigger than the devil! If the devil can conquer your mind, he says, “This soul is mine.” Repeat these words: “I’m saved by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus is My Lord and Saviour.”
Like a child each morning, I place a crown upon the Head of the one who died for me! Have you seen the NASA HAND OF GOD?
NASA titled this scene in space as the Hand of God, seemingly holding a crown, as the prize, for those who find power in His Hand to save to the utmost, by His Blood!
What can do with God, who died for me and you, and wants to place a crown on our head too?
Isn’t this a great sign and wonder, of God who show the power in His Hand, to the Israeli soldier and the Arab from Gaza, who fired the missile, that was taken by the HAND OF GOD, to the ocean, to let it drop, where no Israeli people, could hurt. It was headed to destroy hundreds, it was turned into the sea.
The Arab’s translation was the God of Israel is defending His people.
Where is Allah now? Whose side do you want to be on? or not….just be an observer…and do nothing….half on and half off…the road to trusting in God.
It’s not to late to pray, “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.” Unless you fear the unknown of space…and godless race…ready to destroy…your spaceship…when you get there. Will you understand His Tongue? His language? Or will HIS HAND, be against those who destroy His Kingdom?
Does God know what it will take to humble us?
Fear God, for this is beginning of wisdom…He can make a hand appear…just as the hand appeared on the wall, the day Babylon would fall, according to prophecy, some 400 years before, Cyrus would be the commander, the day Babylon would fall, they would wall under the open gate, to take the grandson of King Nebuchadnezzar, as Daniel read the warning. Today your Kingdom will fall, you are weighed in the balance and found wanting.
Judgement hour is here! Who will you FEAR?
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
What has this King of Destruction have to say?
The Scorpion King fears and trembles, when the handwriting is on the wall, Babylon has fallen, he fears and trembles!
