Let us see if we cannot dispel some of the mystery that are connected with and have been passed on from generation to generation. In concerning this mark of the beast. Let us realized first that we live in a real world and that God does not deal with comic book or fictitious characters, beast animals.
However He does use symbols to indicate powers in the world today. Saying more than is actually written. And if we look at it as animals of beast we miss the whole truth. I hope that in this lecture we can prove who the beast is where he will appear and who he will appear too. If we look for a grotesque monster where going to be deceived. You can be
assured of that. so let's simplify by going to the word of God that will always simplify. We can be assured of that. Lets go to the book of Rev. the 13 chapter that deals with this situation. Many people state that the book of Revelation is not to be understood. But the Revelation the very word itself means to uncover or reveal. And you are to understand it and let us understand it. Let us begin in chapter 13 verse 1. With a word of wisdom from our heavenly Father. Amen.
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Water in Revelation as you will find in the 17th chapter will symbolize people.
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
And what he is saying is from the peoples of the world I observe a beast rise up. The 7 heads are 7 dominions or you could even say 7 kingdoms. Being powers ruled by the 10 world leaders. In other words what we have is a one world system. Or what is prophesied many other times in the bible as one worldism, or a one world system. If we turn to the 17th chapter concerning the beast of this Revelation. In 17:3 we read Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
So we see here that this mystery is connected with Babylon. And what does Babylon mean? It comes from the base root Babel which means confusion. And this being a state of confusion. And that confusion being in part that that has to do with you is Babylon and the confusion in the one world system taught by man. Now who are the 10 heads? Let's look at
it. Ten men taken hold out of the world to bring about a state of confusion concerning one worldism that will rise upon these people. Now lets go back to 13. And you must understand that there are two beast mentioned in this 13th chapter. You must understand this. This 1st beast with multi heads is a political system. But when we get to the 11th verse of this chapter you will find a religious or single beast. Which is Satan defacto. A one world system that will ultimately have this one ruler that will take over from the 10 leaders of the 10 continents. And what rides upon the world that brings about one worldism? A state of confusion that brings about Babel or confusion upon the heads of people.
The Truth shall dispel the lies. And you find that truth in God's word. Those events that consummate the end of this age. That are well written in this letter that your Father has written to you. God's elect will stand against this one world system in as much as they are the witnesses of God.
Lets continue with verse 2 in chapter 13.
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, a political system that is what this is.and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
We see within this that the dragon that is written in rev 20 is the devil Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, Which leads these particular beast which are symbolic of various nations or stations. The leopard itself you can relate to the book of Daniel. To the panther or the leopard, their spot is not our spot. The bear will always have to do with Russia that ole iron curtain nation, which is
fallen but not fallen completely and we shall hear more of it as we continue in this study. The lion is that that is symbolic of the tribe of Judea. Confusion? you bet. The old dragon the leader of this particular group. verse 3
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
How does a political beast receive a deadly wound? Certainly not a physical wound to an individual. But as they cry peace peace peace. You hear the peace conferences and the new world order as you here of it today. It is that system the so called peace system that will receive a deadly wound that is to say. How does a system receive a deadly wound?
It receives that wound by the peace being broken. Now let’s pick it up in 4
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Naturally it is very difficult or impossible to make war with a nation if all nations are one involved in a one world system. And who can make war with a one world system? No one. With the exception it is lead by the dragon and of course the dragon being the enemy of Christ. God's elect shall make this stand. And it is important that you know that what
did they worship? They worshipped the dragon which is to say Satan. And the one world ruler which will fulfill the role as antichrist. Physically no one could make war because there is total agreement in a one world system. Lets go on with 5.
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Of course 42 months is the equivalent of 3 1/2 years. But where months are utilized in prophecy months means moons. And they are always related to the night or darkness which is to say Satan's time. Therefore prophecy that is given in months has to do with Satan. That great dragon the old devil. Rev 20:2 and Rev 12:7. We see the 3 1/2 approximate rule
that this reign shall transpire. Let there be no mistake. But it is written in Mark 13 that the elect will not be deceived by this one, but will do things by our Father. And on His behalf, which we will be getting to as we come further along. Lets continue with 6
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
As Satan comes as instead of Christ which is the correct translation for antichrist. We see that he stands in the temple of God. Claiming to be God.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Mark it, nations means all the world.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
This is a deep verse in as much as destiny is involved in those that are chosen in Eph.1:4 Chosen from the foundation of the world. Those that will serve Him. Could it be that you have a destiny? There are people in this earth now who are beginning to have their eyes opened and their ears opened as to what this political world situation is developing in to. And they know that they do have a destiny. This controversy that is between Christ and antichrist which is to say Satan will continue. Most of the world will be deceived. My question would be to you is. Will you be deceived? Will you understand the mark of the beast? Are you familiar with God's word? He wrote this letter to you. Do you love Him? Then He
certainly loves you. Follow Him. Listen to Him. Verse 9
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. Now as a student of God's word you must understand that he is about to
say something important. Do you have ears to hear? verse 10
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Do you want to be in captivity to Satan or captivity by Christ Himself? In His sheepfold where by the Shepherd always protects His own. Are you ready to stand against a one world political system? Allowing Him through that Spirit to use you? Let;s investigate this word beast as it is written in the book of Revelation as it is stated in the Greek manuscripts. Beast is simply a living thing. And now we are about to come to the religious beast a living creature. Who? Well, if they
worship the dragon let that be a bit of a clue. Aright? Lets look now at this 2nd beast in this 13 chapter. The religious beast and the deceiver.
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,that's to say he looked like the lamb. He looked like Christ. Even the Lamb slain. and he spake as a dragon. So we see that we have the dragon playing the role as the Lamb of God or Messiah. And he is coming as instead of Christ. Which means antichrist
in the Greek. I wonder how many will be deceived at that time. We are told that most of the world will wonder after him in his supernatural ability. Claiming to be the Lamb of God. Come to rapture people away. It is very important that you understand that this is a political system 1st then this religious beast who causes all these to follow after the false system and to worship him as Christ. This is the confusion. This is Babel to those that do not have eyes to see.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
This means that he prospers through one world control and cause the world to join in and become a part. 13
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Meaning visible in front of them. That he well purposely worship those that follow him. And by performing these miracles in their very site. If people today will worship a rock star practically, when they see a supernatural being that can snap his fingers and fire come from heaven on the earth in the sight of men that with these miracles many will be deceived. My question would be? Will you be deceived? When your father lets you know that this particular religious beast will perform these miracles in your sight. The dragon being the most beautiful of the arch angels. As it is written of the king of Tyre in Eze. 28.
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; that's the political system saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
That they should make an image of this one world political system. And any time you see an image, even on television with world coverage of the one world system that brings peace and prosperity brought by the religious beast.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
This is a strong statement. Our people are not equipped mentally to deal with something of this nature. Something supernatural. Giving life to this system with his supernatural ability. That he would make it seem as though it was God's kingdom on earth. However, as he is the prince of the air, it is Satan's kingdom on earth that God allows to deceive as
many as he would.
Rev 13:16 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:
Lets look at this very closely. Lets look at what is commonly taught as the mark of the beast. Like are bar code or a 666 tattooed on the forehead. This would deceive no one. It clearly states here that this is in the forehead. What is in your forehead? your brain, your thinking process, your mind. Be sure to use your mind to make certain that you
are not deceived in this end time. These that are expecting that this so called beast to insist that you ware something on your forehead. That would deceive no one. every Christian would recognize 666 and run from it. No, in the forehead. A world religious system able to perform supernatural acts in the site of men. What about you? Will you be deceived? Again I pray not. Don't be carried away in the great apostasy.
Stand for the true Christ for His word has warned you here. It is not a tattoo. It is not a mark that you can see. It is your mind causing you to worship someone else. Listen carefully.
Rev 13:17 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.
When Satan gets here it will be difficult, for some to buy or sell without taking the mark. If you cannot receive food or anything else other than by worshipping him, then know that our Shepherd is able to feed His people. He will always take care of us. God has stated touch not Mine elect. Touch not Mine anointed. How strong is your faith? He can take care of you where ever you are. 18
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
We will be coming back to explain in detail this man. The word count in the Greek here is G5585 ψΕφιÌζω pseÌ„phizoÌ„ psay-fid'-zo From G5586; to use pebbles in enumeration, that is, (genitive case) to compute: - count.
To count using stones over a long period of time. This mark was present for many years. Are you familiar with it? We are
going to take a look at it before we come back to this verse. What we are looking at is not some monster with 7 heads and 10 horns, but a religious leader over a one world system. Deceiving people into thinking that he is Christ himself. Now lets go to the epistles of John. To teach if we may from Gods word how that you can decern the mark.
1Jo 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Now there are people that pretend they are from Christ, but are not they are called Kenites
Skip on to verse 22.
1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
We have here what constitutes an anti Christ.
1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. We know that many people in Judea do not except Christ, but that is not to say that they are antichrist. The word Jew means Ioudaios in the Greek. And it is G2453 ΙÌ"ουδαῖος
Ioudaios ee-oo-dah'-yos From G2448 (in the sense of G2455 as a country); udaean, that is, belonging to Jehudah: - Jew (-ess), of Juda. A resident of Judea. We will go to rev 2:9 later so we can look at this. Be careful not to blame our brother Juda for that that the Kenites have done. What constitutes an anti Christ? One that denies the Christ. Lets go to
Thes.2 Paul speaking. 2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, This is Christ coming back this earth and us gathering back to Him. 2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ
is at hand.
Don't you believe anyone other than the word of God. He is speaking here about a letter. This letter was the 1st book of Thessalonians that the Thessalonians misunderstood. This is where they misunderstand and get the rapture.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, This falling away is the apostasy or the confusion brought on by Babel. It must come 1st before we gather back to Christ and that man and that man not a beast of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
G684
αÌ"πωÌλεια
apōleia
ap-o'-li-a
From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
One of the base roots of Satan's names. And there is only one son that is announced already to perdition which is to say to perish. And that is Satan himself. Meaning what? Christ will not return and don't let any letter or spirit deceive you. He will not return to this earth until this son of perdition appears on earth 1st.
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. In Jerusalem.
Now let;s get this real good. Before Christ returns to this earth Paul tells us this false one this son that perishes. Must sit in Jerusalem claiming to be God or Jesus. Which is to say instead of Christ or anti christ.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in
his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
In the Greek there is only a transitive verb. Which cannot stand alone. It has no subject or object. There for it must connect back to he that was spoken of through verses 4 and 6. The verb must transfer back to that one that sits in the place claiming to be Christ. But in fact is the son that perishes. You will find in Rev. 12:7 that it is Michael that cast this evil one out on to the earth, along with his angels. That he will play the role of this anti Christ.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
In other words when the true Christ returns to this earth, His mouth and tongue Rev, 1:16
His voice is that two edge sword. The truth that will dispel the lies. And destroy them and discover this one in his lies as he has deceived the world. Let's continue building the documentation to that.
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
The deception, those miracles, the snapping of the fingers with lightning and fire coming from heaven. Will he deceive you? I think not.
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
It is real sad that people will listen to man and church systems rather than reading God's word in its simplicity.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Will you believe that lie? The majority will. It is written. It is Fathers word that states they will. Satan is very intelligent. He is not some 666 mark but an entity that works supernatural powers.
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Beloved do you understand God's word in it's simplicity? In the simplicity which Christ taught? Lets learn more of this man this entity from God's word. Not from some tradition, but from the word of God. We are going to go to Isaiah. One of the greatest prophets. And in this 14th chapter we are going to learn of this false one. where it actually speaks to Lucifer.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
The crowned throne was always on the north side. Satan is saying here, I am above God. I am above everyone.
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
I will be god. That is what he is saying. Did Paul not adequately express this in 2nd Thes 2?
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
That pit is the abyss that we read of in Rev 20. As we near the time of the millennium.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Is this the man that took all the kingdoms of the world and brought into being a one world system? Though supernatural a certain man ish in the Hebrew. The dragon, Satan Lucifer.
Isa 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
In other words would not allow the truth to come forth, but would captivate by his lies and his Babel and confusion. And miss lead the world.
Isa 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
The kings of the earth that follow him will at least have a decent burial.
Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
He's not even going to have a decent burial. make a note of the word stones as it is used here. Remember the word count as I told you from
Rev 13:18. That you would count that number of the beast from that numeration of stones? Make a mental note of it. We are in the 1st advent this dispensation. We have the millennium coming up. People have Satan draw as a demon in red long handle underwear two big horns and a pitch fork. But I want you to know from the book of Ezeikel 28 exactly
what he does look like. So that you will be able to recognize him. Don't allow this one to deceive you. God's letter was written to you. Do you listen to man? Or do you listen to our father? Don't listen to any man without checking him out. Not this man or any other man without checking him out in the word of God.
I want to explain the word Tyrus in the Hebrew. It means rock or stone. This is the stone you must count. Knowing this one, this certain man, Lucifer. Is this the man? You will know it is that man. Now we learn in verse 2 of chap. 28. lets read it.
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
So we see the pride. This one that is ish in the Hebrew. Only a man. A man that God created. Who is Satan himself. Why is he called a man? Well, we'll find out before we finish this chapter.
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: You remember the wisdom of Daniel, the decerner of dreams. But this one is supernatural and you must be prepared for that.
Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
Tyre was a city of commerce that was a type for this situation that is carried even to the supernatural.
Eze 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
In other words thru commerce he is able to make gains in this world. By using the people of this world.
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
I want you to know that he is not a grotesque beast. His beauty is mentioned here. And he is a pretty boy. Isa 14 is this the man?
Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Jesus Christ with that sword of truth will destroy his lies. and as Christ Himself stated in Hebrew 2:14
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
And we see that he will die. As a matter of fact well see in this chapter he is sentence to death.
Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 28:12 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.
Now what this does. We are going now before he was the prince. Here he was the king. He was demoted. seen here in that full pattern full of wisdom full of beauty.
Eze 28:13 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.
Note that he was in the garden of God. In other words he was not born. But God created him the arch angel that has fallen. And we are going to find out which cherub here in a moment, but here we see him not something ugly, not something in red long handle underwear with horns, but beautiful. Now his position.
Eze 28:14 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.
That's right on God's altar. And the cherub that covereth, the cherub that's supposed to cover the mercy seat.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. In other words he stopped loving God and began to take pride in himself. That one that was to protect the mercy seat was to be seated upon it. In other words he that was to protect the seat of Christ, wanted to be Christ. Wanted to be that Son of God. Though God created him as He did all others. His pride within himself, brought about his failure. though full of beauty, be prepared my friend he will be cast from heaven on to this earth. As it is written in Rev. 12:7. Picture if you would in your mind, the ark that Moses was commanded by God to build. With a cherub on each end of the mercy seat. This was Satan's position in the world that was.
Eze 28:16 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.
In other words you are demoted from that seat the place at the altar. What a let down this must have been to this one that was so proud.
Eze 28:17 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.
This took place when that 1st earth age was destroyed. Many are not familiar with that 1st earth age. It was here at Satan's rebellion. At the overthrow. And at that time it is written in Gen 1:1 and 1:2. in the Hebrew. As well as Jerm 4:23.
That time of the overthrow and this great beauty that God gave unto this one. Now let's read his sentence.
Eze 28:18 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.
Where will it happen? On this earth. You will see it at the end of Rev 20. And we see Isa 14 again. Is this the man?
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Gone for ever that time of deception. Yes, for those that can be lied too. Those that will allow themselves to be deceived. My question again. Will you be deceived? That old dragon Lucifer what ever title you wish to call him by that play actor wants to move to that seat. The mercy seat. He will come as the instead of Christ. Or as some call antichrist.
And with that wisdom he will be able to deceive. He will be able to bring that deception upon many. See that it is not you. It's simply this one filling the role of antichrist in the sight of man.
Many think they are going to be flown away 1st. They will not. In Romans 11 it states there that God has set aside 7000 that shall not bow a knee to this one and his deception. And they will be a witness. Do you have a destiny? Do you have a purpose. Have you known from a child that there was more to God's word than you where being told? Let's continue the thought if we may concerning Satan this beautiful one. Christ would mention him in Mark 13 and in the book of
Revelation and in Eze 28. Where this beauty the king of Tyre this false rock. Not our rock, but the Kenites rock. We find that he had been in the Garden of Eden so there is only one way we can discover the meaning of this by going to the garden of Eden.
Lets go to Gen. 3
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent5175 was1961 more subtle6175 than any4480, 3605 beast2416 of the field7704 which834 the LORD3068 God430 had made.6213 And he said559 unto413 the woman,802 Yea,637, 3588 hath God430 said,559
Ye shall not3808 eat398 of every4480, 3605 tree6086 of the garden?1588
Now the serpent of course means the glistening one. And the serpent is called that ole dragon which is to say the devil in Rev. 20:2. In telling the woman. Shall you not eat of every tree of the garden? As you know God had stated. You shall not touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All of the other trees they could partake of. And this was the woman's answer.
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: We may eat of the fruit of the garden that is to say apples, plums oranges, this sort of thing.
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree (a specific tree)which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Let's bring this back to the Hebrew for a moment if we may. The word tree as it is utilized in verse 1 states that it is ets.

From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): - + carpenter, gallows, helve, + pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.
The base root of the word is 6095 in the strongs concordance and you should have one because you really need one to study God's word. And in this dictionary you will find that the Hebrew word comes from the base root 6086 which is 6095 which is atsah. H6095 עצ×" ‛aÌ‚tsaÌ‚h aw-tsaw'
A primitive root; properly to fasten (or make firm), that is, to close (the eyes): - shut. Which is to say an opening and a closing of the eyes. And from this also comes 6096 which is the backbone. The backbone of the body.
H6096 עצ×" ‛aÌ‚tseh aw-tseh'
From H6095; the spine (as giving firmness to the body): - back bone. Which is to say the trunk of the body. Your arms are the limbs and it is a tree. A regular tree has only knowledge to shed it's leaves. But the knowledge of good and evil the trunk of the body has many feelings that pass through the central nervous system. Now lets go a little further if
we may. Lest you die was stated.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Enlightenment, yes. And here you have the Hebrew word which is the base. And opening or closing of the eyes. And we have something here that is not complete as we read from the English. But from the trunk of the brain the knowledge of good and evil. Let's you know what is good a what is evil. That Paul in the Corinthians the 2nd Corinthians 11:3 would
state concerning this incident.
2Co 11:2 For1063 I am jealous2206 over you5209 with godly2316 jealousy:2205 for1063 I have espoused718 you5209 to one1520 husband,435 that I may present3936 you as a chaste53 virgin3933 to Christ.5547
2Co 11:3 But1161 I fear,5399 lest by any means,3381 as5613 the3588 serpent3789 beguiled1818 Eve2096 through1722 his848 subtlety,3834 so3779 your5216 minds3540 should be corrupted5351 from575 the3588 simplicity572
that3588 is in1519 Christ.5547
The word beguiled is 1818 in your Greek dictionary and it has only one meaning.
G1818 εÌ"ξαπαταÌω exapataoÌ„ ex-ap-at-ah'-o
From G1537 and G538; to seduce wholly: -
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Now Naga the word touch in verse 3 has more than one meaning. But here it means to lie with a woman.
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit4480, 6529 of the tree6086 which834 is in the midst8432 of the garden,1588 God430 hath said,559 Ye shall not3808 eat398 of4480 it, neither3808 shall ye touch5060 it, lest6435 ye die.4191
H5060 × ×'×¢ naÌ‚ga‛ naw-gah'
A primitive root; properly to touch, that is, lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman); by implication to reach (figuratively to arrive, acquire); violently, to strike (punish, defeat, destroy, etc.): - beat, (X be able to) bring (down), cast, come (nigh), draw near (nigh), get up, happen, join, near, plague, reach (up),smite, strike, touch.
Why would they know they where naked if they had eating an apple? Open your minds. And fig leaves this is part of the parable of the fig tree.
That Christ said that we should learn. And here the word goes back a stone worn smooth over a long period of time.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
In other words God knew what had happened. That they had partaken of this tree. That their eyes had been opened. Their backbone so to speak.
Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
And we see ole Adam trying to pass this off to the woman. But be that as it may.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
I would remind you again of 2 Corinthians 11:3 the word beguiled exapatao stated by Paul Wholly seduced. Open your minds. Spiritually or physically? You live with it how ever you choose.
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
This state and this moral state of degradation the serpent being the root there of.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;(thats her children and Satan's children) it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The bruising of the heel has to do with Christ being nailed to the cross. The bruising of Satan;s head has in a sense if you would Satan's final defeat and his being turned to ashes from within. Now be realistic. Her seed and his seed. This speaks of a child if you would. And in Matt 13 God gives a parable or the sower. A seed if sown by the wicked one. We'll be going there perhaps in a moment, so bear that in mind. What are we talking about? Did he say she was eating an apple? I
haven't seen the word apple so far.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
We find as this chapter continues. I wanted the sin brought forth. This conception. As this chapter continues on we have the tree of life that is brought into existence. The Tree of Life as it is written in Rev.22:2 is none other than Christ Himself.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
It was not yet time for that particular deliverance of the Savior.
So we skip on to chapter 4 and lets read there.
Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
ish eth YHVY. And she gave birth to Cain. But it would read by many that Adam was certainly his father. But bear in mind listen to verse 2.
Gen 4:2 And she again3254 bore3205 (853) his brother251 (853) Abel.1893 And Abel1893 was1961 a keeper7462 of sheep,6629 but Cain7014 was1961 a tiller5647 of the ground.127
What is this word again in Hebrew?
H3254 יסף yâsaph yaw-saf'
A primitive root; to add or augment (often adverbially to continue to do a thing):
If a woman continues in labor what does that mean? So we see in this that to continue means they where twins. Twins both in the womb.
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
It is important to note that Cain and Abel where twins in as much as they matured and brought their offerings at the same time. But the where paternal twins not identical twins. But twins of 2nd pregnancies. Many don't realize that this happens. Talk to you doctor and he will make this clear.
Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
And it continues on that he murders his brother.
Gen 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
So we see that 1st murderer.
Gen 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Now we come to this mark. And in counting it, how to understand the mark of the beast.
Gen 4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Here comes the mark.
Gen 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Now I want to say that this mark is still present today in a spiritual sense. And we will go no deeper than that on it. And you will seeCain's genealogy. It is important that you understand that genealogy of Cain.
Go on then if you would to Chapter 5
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And you will note that Adams 1st offspring because of Abel's death was Seth. You do not find Cain listed in that genealogy. Now lets goback to this garden again if we may. Let's go to the book of Eze.
Eze 31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
God is asking Pharaoh here. Who do you think you are like?
Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon (this word Assyrian is box cedar in the Hebrew.
The Assyrian has no article in the garden meaning Satan) with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud,
and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. And we see from this that Ginsburg, and I agree with him that this is te ash-shoor in the Hebrew. Which is to say a box cedar. In other words Satan claimed to be tall and splendid as the Cedars of Lebanon.Which is symbolic of our people. But he is a plain ole box cedar. And he states
concerning this cedar in this 3rd verse.
Eze 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
And we continue on then down to verse 7.
Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
This is none other than. You figure it out for yourself.
Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God(this is Eden) could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Again that one that God made the full pattern full of beauty.
Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Eze 31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Eze 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one(that is to say the nations) of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
It was at that time that Satan was demoted. From the king of Tyre to the prince of Tyre. Lets go to Gen 6. Following the genealogy of Adam as it was given. And we find that the Nephillium, which is a Hebrew word that means the fallen angels came down.
Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God(this is the Nephillium) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Now let there be no doubt as to why a man takes a wife.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
In other words God had created the flesh body as he did Adam and placed the soul within it.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Now know this, God's plan was that Christ would come through Eve's Seed. Therefore His heels will bruise the serpents head. And some would say. How did Cain's seed come through the flood and how did all these things come to pass? Even in the wilderness God fed the children of Israel angels food, as they wandered. Angels food sustained the body of man. Why? Because we are made in their image. Exactly like them. From different substance? Yes, but the body the same likeness. Now how did Cain live through the flood? We have that 1st murderer that one that the mark was placed upon. God has already stated here very clearly that He had made man in flesh. And as Noah was found the only one that was perfect. That is to say in generations. As we find in the 9th verse of this 6th chapter. Then that generation being the prime root. His family and his son's had not intermixed with these fallen angels to bring forth geber. Therefore God telling Noah to take two of every flesh aboard the ark.
Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
So weather you believe that the flood was world wide or not. This gives us an account of the Kenite being taken aboard the ark. Now what is the word Kenite? The word Kenite being translated from the Hebrew rather than being transliterated means son's of Cain. H7014 קין qayin kah'-yin
The same as H7013 (with a play upon the affinity to H7069); Kajin, the name of the first child, also of a place in Palestine, and of an Oriental tribe: - Cain, Kenite (-s).
Did they live through the flood? You bet they did. As we find in 1st Chron.2:55. The Generations of the tribes of Israel are given. Tacked on to the tribe of Judea.
1Ch 2:55 And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.
Note that they are scribes. Not from Juda. Let's recap this what have we discovered? The seed had arrived on earth. Cain being the 1st murderer. He was not listed in Adam's genealogy. And we see that he still survived the flood. And this man of sin would appear again as we have already discovered from other places. We see some of the events that would
happen from that old serpent the devil the dragon. What are you to do about that as a Christian? Christ does not leave us wanting, but he teaches us very adequately.
In Mark 13. Let us go there.
Mar 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
When would that be? Naturally at the events that would consummate the end of this age.
Mar 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Mar 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
In other words tell us when the end of the world will be. The question many men have asked.
Mar 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Anyone that claims to be teaching Christ and does not teach His word is not of Christ.
Mar 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
What is the opposite of wars? Peace. When they cry peace, peace, peace.
Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
This famine is not for bread, but for hearing the words of the Lord. Amos 8:11.
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Mar 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Delivered up before the false messiah, because you would not receive him.
Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
When God's elect are delivered up that is when the gospel will be published, those that are delivered up being given a trial at this great conversion in the synagogues.
Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit, this is Christ speaking through you beloved. This is on that day of Pentecost when the apostle's spoke. An example of this that would come. That God Himself through the Spirit will speak for you when you are delivered up.
Mar 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Now think about this beloved. A parent is not going to deliver a child to death nor vise versa. But Satan is death. That is his name. In Hebrews 2:14
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And if one of your relatives believes that he is Jesus. They will go to him and say my son is a good son, or my daughter is a good daughter. My mother is a good Christian or my father is a good Christian. Please be patient with them and convert them. Thinking they where doing well. And in this method are God's elect delivered up. For a witness for Jesus
Christ.
Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
In the book of Daniel you find that in Dan 9:27 that this word it, should be he, because it states there that the desolator comes in on the wings of abomination. That he will appear in Jerusalem claiming to be Christ.
Mar 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
The time for the destruction of this place Jerusalem which is the opening subject of Chapter 13, means you want need anything out of the house.
Mar 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
You want need a change of clothes.
Mar 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
As Paul stated in 2nd Cor. 11:2 he wants to present you as a chaste virgin when Satan and his angels are cast out on this earth as it is written in Rev. 12:7 . Then we are not talking about a mother carrying a natural child. We are talking about someone who has been impregnated in their mind, their forehead with this mark and believe that the false
Christ is Jesus. In other words. Christ is returning for a wedding with us. He does not want to find you in bed with the devil. Not only with child (the mark) but giving suck. Helping Satan against God's elect.
Mar 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Harvest time is in the summer. If you where harvested in the winter you would have been taken by antichrist.
Mar 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
The affliction and tribulation of the devil claiming to be Jesus.
Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Mar 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
When they come to you to tell you to go see Christ. Don't go along with it. Why? Because he is Satan. And God tells you right here not to go. You would be going against God's instruction.
Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
I personally feel that it is not possible beloved.
Mar 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Immediately following this we see the return of the true Christ.
Mar 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
It will be shadowed at times as it is written in Rev. 8. But totally blocked out by the brightness of the true Christ coming
Mar 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
How do we know beloved that this shall come to pass as far as seasons are concerned? He is going to tell you that also.
Mar 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
NOW LEARN! Not maybe learn.
Mar 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Mar 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Know this beloved, that the generation of the parable of the fig tree, that fig tree was planted in the year of our Lord 1948. When both the good and the bad fig returned to Jerusalem. That has never happened since the time that Christ has walked the earth. Israel set up as a nation both good and bad figs as it is written in Jerm 24. See that you are not deceived of that time.
Have you know since you where a child that there was more to God's word than had been explained to you?
Now lets sum this a moment. Christ has told you what it will be like and what you will do at that time so you will be perfectly well protected.
Now when Jesus spoke of this abominable thing, He made the book of Daniel a part of the New Testament. That means it was yet to come to pass. He was speaking of course of Dan 9:27.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
( this is the false Christ that causes this. This is what we call today holy communion.} and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate,{ Now properly translated in the Hebrew it says on the wings of a desolator he shall come with abomination.} even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate.
Which should be translated desolator. There you have it. The desolator he that will be poured upon. That cup of God's wraith. DR Moppet translated in Mark 13:14 when he stands where he ought not. Why? Because the Greek is determined by the word that is used for it or he or she is determined by the subject. The as you can well see from this 27th verse of Daniel is this. That we are not talking about a condition, but an entity the desolator.
Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to themountains:
And so that you might know. Let's turn to Dan 11:31. And lets read briefly here that we are not talking about a condition here, but and individual.
Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
When Christ was crucified, this took away the daily sacrifice or oblation forever.
Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
How about you? Do you really know your Father? Will you do exploits for Him as He has requested for you?
Dan 11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
This would still if you would run from the time that the daily sacrifice was taken, even to this generation.
Dan 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
This is a fall like to stumble. But a little help from God beloved is all you need, because you become strong.
Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall,(stumble) to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end:
because it is yet for a time appointed.
Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,(the desire a woman would have for her child. Like the true Christ has for HIs children) nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver,and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Now let's go all the way to the last verse.
Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;( that's Mount Zion in Jerusalem) yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Now what have we analyzed? We have found that he appears in Judea as stated in Mark 13. On Mount Zion, claiming to be Christ. We have found out approximately when the generation if you would when the good and bad fig tree passes by. How long is a generation? From 1948 a 40 year generation a 70 year generation a 120 year generation? No one knows?
But we do know the season, because God has made it available for us to know and to understand. Do you understand what happened in the Garden? We are going to turn to Matt 23 to see that Garden, what took place there even
the New Testament. In Matt 23 we find there that Christ Himself is giveing the woes talking to the Kenites.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,(you offspring of the serpent) how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(Who slew Abel? Of course it was Cain. That is who we are talking about. His offspring.) unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
So you see we find many places in the new testament after your eyes are open to the truth. How Christ himself speaks of this seed of Cain. Planted upon this earth. Is it any wonder that God placed this mark. The mark of deception if you would. The mark called the mark of the beast. But understand, you are not to worship him. But stay loyal and a virgin to the true Christ in a spiritual sense that you might understand. I want to go to the 13th chapter of Matthew concerning the Parable of the Tares. If you don't understand this parable Christ said," that you would not understand any of His parables." Therefore it is imperative that you understand this 13th chapter of Matt. Where He speaks of this parable. And Christ explains the parable in verse 24.
Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But1161 while men444 slept,2518 his846 enemy2190 came2064 and2532 sowed4687 tares2215 among303, 3319 the3588 wheat,4621 and2532 went his way.565
G2215 ζιζαÌνιον zizanion dziz-an'-ee-on
Of uncertain origin; darnel or false grain: - tares. Now tares are zizanion in the Greek it looks like wheat when it's
growing. But it comes forth with a bitter seed.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Once they came up you could tell the difference between the tares and the wheat. Now in the 36th and 37th verse, Jesus is explaining the parable where anyone can understand. The apostles came to Him privately and asked Him.
Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The good seed are Christ's children.
Mat 13:38 (1161) The3588 field68 is2076 the3588 world;2889 the3588 good2570 seed4690 are(3778), 1526 the3588 children5207 of the3588 kingdom;932 but1161 the3588 tares2215 are1526 the3588 children5207 of the3588 wicked4190 one;
Check out this word seed here. So that you know that He is talking about offspring. Not seeds that you plant.
G4690 σπεÌÏμα sperma sper'-mah
From G4687; somethng sown, that is, seed (including the male “spermâ€); by implication offspring; specifically a remnant (figuratively as if kept over for planting): - issue, seed.
Do you know who the wicked one is? Let Christ make it clearer than.
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
So here again we see that event that happened in the garden. That wicked seed that was planted that would bruise the heel of Messiah through His crucifixion. Messiah in turn would destroy that wicked one.
I want to go to another place to nail down this seed of Cain. St. John 8. I want to pick it up here where Christ is teaching and speaking concerning the children of Abraham. For there where those who claim to be of our brother Juda and did lie, but where the children of the devil.
And Jesus knew this. They claimed to be children of Abraham. And Christ said I know your children of Abraham. Why? Abraham means father of many nations. Through Abraham would come Christ. And Christ would be a blessing to all nations. Christ declared that in verse 37 knowing this. They continue on and get a little nervous. And in verse 39 they state.
Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. (note the small f. Not our Father, their father Tyre)Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning,
(Again who was the 1st murderer? your know we read it from our Fathers word. Cain)and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin?(Christ was perfect) And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Listen, this is form the mouth of Christ.
Joh 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
So there you have it beloved. The truth from the words of Christ. Do you have ears to hear? I want you to go with me I told you in Mark 13 that Christ had shortened the time. In Rev 9 Christ tells us the length of time.
Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
In other words this is the substitute of the sun and the moon disappearing. Only darkened by Satan's deception.
Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
A scorpion, it is important when Christ uses something of this natural that you understand His method of teaching. A scorpion has no stomach. Therefore he holds his victim with his pinchers and regurgitates his digestive juices and the victims body becomes his stomach. In other words he turns his backbone to mush. And that's the way Satan operates
spiritually. By turning the backbones of people to mush.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Now what is the seal of God in their forehead? It is the truth of God's word rather than the lies or deception of Babel or Babylon.
Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:(Christ shortened this time from 3 and a half years) and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Rev 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
When they see the true Christ coming they will be ashamed to face Him.
Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
In other words we are not dealing with locust we are dealing with men. We're dealing with those fallen angels. We're dealing with the serpent. The antichrist.
Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Rev 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
The number of them will be many.
Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Again that 5 month period.
Rev 9:11 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.
This is Satan his name in Hebrew the destroyer. And the Greek to perish.
Rev 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
And of course that 6th angel sounds and we see, if you would, the deception for that 5 month period. Are you ready for that will you be deceived? You must remember that God is in control. As we recap and think on these things. What kind of Father do we have? We have a father that loves His children. He wants them to know the truth. He is calling out a people that are willing to study His word. The simple message that He put forth. There will be a millennium time coming when Satan will be locked away for a thousand years. Those that have allowed themselves to be deceived by him in innocents receive no sin. But that does not mean they are going to heaven necessarily. But God will set aside a time that is called the millennium. We find that in the 20th chapter or Rev. I want to complete this study by going there.
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
That's a millennium beloved.
Rev 20:3 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.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.
What is reigned? It's teaching.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
