Levels 8 through 10: Part III

Prophecies for This Level - Continued

Let us repent and dive more deeply into the soul cleansing blood and presence of our Lord and let us awake to His purpose for us while we awaken others to Him.

Again, using Bible Prophecy to bring us to our current day events and give us a picture of where we are in God’s scheme of things happening and about to happen, let us look at what we have. In Matthew chapter 24 Jesus gives us highlights to look for that surround His second coming. By the way, there is only one second coming, not the two, three, or four comings as taught in the theories/speculations surrounding the various Pre-Tribulation Rapture Doctrines.

First, it will be a time of deception.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (Matthew 24:4 and repeated in Mark 13:5 and Luke 21:8)

Do we live in a day where great deception is practiced? Are there only a few men, to include pastors, whose word can be trusted? Do most, even nearly all nations, their leaders, and the powerful of the earth hide behind a refuge of lies? The answers are, yes.

In the history of mankind I cannot find anywhere on such a completely and universally practiced level of deception as that in which we find ourselves facing today. It seems all nations, powers, and principalities are hiding behind such a refuge of lies so uniform and pervasive as to be unbelievably astonishing. It boggles the mind. How can this be, except we love lies so much that we are given over to a strong delusion of our own making?

We are entering into the end times. The events that proceed and are a part of the judgments of God spoken of in Revelation have begun. I believe the first four seal judgments are in progress as this is being written in 2022.

AND I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 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. (Revelation 6:1-8)

In verse 2 the Greek word used for bow is (Strong's #G5115) τόξον, toxon, tox'-on. When cross-referenced in Hebrew we get the picture of a poisoned arrow or a toxin. Then the Greek word used for crown is (Strong's #G4735) στέφανος, stephanos, stef'-an-os, from an apparently primary stepho (to twine or wreathe); a chaplet (as a badge of royalty, a prize in the public games or a symbol of honor generally; but more conspicuous and elaborate than the simple fillet, (Strong's #G1238), literally or figuratively: - crown. Is not the selected name of the virus “Coronavirus” and the appearance of the virus is that of a crown? Is not the name of the worldwide pandemic the “Coronavirus Pandemic?" The choice by the evil entities to use this word is not by chance, but chosen on purpose. And the Greek word used for conquering and to conquer is (Strong's #G3528), νικάω, nikaō, nik-ah'-o, From (Strong's #G3529)meaning to subdue (literally or figuratively): - conquer, overcome, prevail, get the victory. The famous shoe company Nike, Inc. [NYSE: NKE] got its name from that Greek Word. Have not all the nations of the world gained total tyrannical control over all the peoples of the world through decrees of restrictions with relation to the Coronavirus and its vaccine? And have not all who are in opposition and their voices been silenced and overcome?

Already we see the beginnings of war that threatens to become WWIII, of famine (hunger), of Death (Plagues), and shortly wild beasts feeding on the bodies of the dead and attacking and killing the living. And as a side note, verse six describes inflation costs to be so high that a full day’s wages are required just for food. Are we not just months away from this actually happening?

These are just the beginning of the judgments of God. These judgments are called the “Seal Judgments” found in Revelation 6:1-17 and 8:1-5. The “Trumpet Judgments” found in Revelation 8:6-13, Revelation 9:1-21, Revelation 10:1-7, and Revelation 11:14-19. And the “Vials of Wrath Judgments” or the “Plague Judgments” found in Revelation 16:1-21. As these judgments are studied and compared with each other we see some overlap each other in fact it is seen that the sixth seal, the seventh trumpet, and the seventh plague all uniquely describe the same event, that being, the Day of the Lords Judgment and Wrath.

Jesus refers to these tribulation event times in Matthew 24 as such:

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

Then the Lord, speaking of His return says,

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31)

Notice verse 29 starts out by saying immediately after the tribulation… It does not say anything about what happens before the tribulation. So, in this case, tribulation occurs first... which is terrible, but it still is technically NOT the Wrath of God. Then after tribulation there is the darkening of the sun, moon, and stars. Then finally, Jesus returns bringing the Wrath of God and then the gathering of the saints who have been protected by the very Hand of God during this whole time.

This same day is known severally as the Day of the Lord, the Day of the Wrath of God, and the day of judgment. Thus, after the tribulation, Joel picks up in describing this day and the execution of God’s Wrath as:

BLOW ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? (Joel 2:1-11)

As can be seen Joel 2 picks up with the darkness of the sun, moon, and stars. During the day of wrath, the army described is a Heavenly supernatural army of God. This visitation of the wrath may only take about half an hour as Revelation describes God leaving his throne for about half an hour at which time there is silence in Heaven. It may take God only this half an hour to execute His wrath on the day of the Lord.

AND when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Revelation 8:1)

The Lord goes on to exhort all on what to do for protection and provision for this time period and the promise of the future provision to come in the millennium reign of the Messiah Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Therefore also now, saith the LORD , turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD , weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD , and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. (Joel 2:12-27)

After these days of judgment and therefore during the Millennium Reign of Christ God will universally pour out His Spirit on all flesh.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. (Joel 2:28-32)

When these days are fully accomplished after the Millennium, Satan is released for a short period to once again work his deception on mankind. The last battle of Armageddon occurs and then the Great White Thorne Judgment. After that we have a new heaven and a new earth.

Thus ends the hierarchy of spiritual beings 8 through 10, for all evil, death, and hell and all of those not accepted at the great white throne judgment will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and no longer exist.
