Now, here’s something to consider;
what if these two wings of a Great
Eagle represent the United States
of America providing airplanes and support for Israel to flee from the pending onslaught of the Anti-Christ. It is a little unusual that this particular phrase would be used. John had no conception of flying or how it could be done. So, Maybe, just Maybe; this could represent a nation flying Israel out; a nation whose emblem is a Great Eagle.
Some things we don’t have a total understanding of; some
things we can merely speculate on; some things we do know.
However; Even though the US is not specifically mentioned,
I think that we might see something about the United States
of America in symbolism in Revelation during the “Tribulation
Period”.
Because the Emblem representing the U.S. is an Eagle, it is
possible that there are two places in Revelation that might,
AND I STRESS MIGHT RELATE to the United States of America; based on our Spiritual Legacy and Heritage as God’s nation to bring the light of Jesus to the world and support God’s People ~ Israel; and an understanding of modern technology.
Let's have a look and see what these might me:
Ezekiel says they will be seven months
burying the dead and then they will hire
people to go around the land and look
for bodies that were missed. Ezekiel 39:12-15
That's a lot of bodies that have to be accounted for; they will be looking for them all over and
making sure that they are all taken care of, so that none are missed.
the beasts of the field, all the creeping things
that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown
down, the steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 “I will call for a sword against him on all
My mountains,” declares the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 “With pestilence and with blood I will
enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain,
with hailstones, fire and brimstone. 23 “I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many
nations; and they will know that I am the LORD.”’
{Ezekiel 38:18-23 NASB}
informing you of possibilities and
the need for God’s Radical Remnant
to keep praying, keep interceding,
keep submitting, and keep humbling ourselves before God on
behalf of our great nation.
{2
Chronicles 7:14 NASB ~ “and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”}
Once again, I need to
point out my
understanding of
“God’s Judgment” in today’s “Age of Grace”. I believe that we are living
in a time that God has reserved His hand of Judgment for the “Tribulation Time” as presented in Bible Prophecy ~ the Book of Daniel,
and Revelation. He has done this and established this, because of the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. Because
of the Shed Blood of Jesus, God has reserved His Judgment until the end. We are not going to be here during the “Tribulation
Time”. God’s Word tells us that we are not subject to the Wrath of God. {I Thess. 1:10 and I Thess. 5:9}
But........ the United States of America
and England? Here are two of Israel’s
biggest and greatest allies; two of the
most powerful nations in the world; not
mentioned in “End of Days” prophecy; but
possibly alluded to here; again, using a modern interpretation and the understanding and knowledge that we have today of current events; Daniel did say that knowledge would increase and we do know more today than Daniel did. He could only interpret according to
his understanding and our understanding has certainly increased.
England’s emblem is the Lion ~ has been
since Richard the Lion Hearted of the
Crusades. The United States of America has always been considered the whelp of the old lion ~ England; because we came out of England ~ we are England’s young lion.
Part of Spain’s
Royal Seal and Flag is the Lion; Representing one of the largest provinces in Spain and the unification of Spain under King Ferdinand
of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile-Leon {Lion}; The same ones who financed and sponsored the voyages of Christopher Columbus
and the settlement of most of the New World. Mexico, Central, and South America can be considered the young lions of Spain!
Verses 17-23 tells us about God’s
judgment on this coalition of evil.
There will be an earthquake; this army
will turn upon each other and begin slaughtering one another; pestilence and blood will be their judgment ~ could this be their
own biological weapons exploding in their own ranks because of the earthquake and what follows?; God rains hailstones, fire, and brimstone
down upon this army. Five-sixths of the army is destroyed.
Thru the Valley of the
Shadow of Death
What about this fourth beast? The indescribable beast.
Revelation 13:1-2 NASB:
And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.
Then
I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous
names. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth
of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
Now, here’s where some people get a little confused. The beast of Rev. 13 is not a composite of the beasts of Daniel 7. It is
not a picture of all these beast combined together to form one beast. I know it might seem like it is; I know people teach
that it is; but if we look closely at these beasts, we see first of all there are no wings on the beast; neither the eagle wings from
the lion, nor the wings from the leopard. What we will see is that the beast of Rev. 13 is in fact the fourth beast of Daniel
7 based on the future interpretation of the vision; and based on the future interpretation of the Image of Daniel 2 where all these
empire come back into existence as nations in the “End of Days” and are combined with the kingdom of the Anti-Christ to be crushed
all together, at the same time when Jesus returns. It is a picture of the Anti-Christ’s kingdom, a picture of the Anti-Christ
himself.
Understand, that all these nations that come together under the control of the Anti-Christ are Islamic nations or predominately Islamic
nations! Islam’s goal is to reform their Caliph Dom, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Syria, Egypt,
Northern and Eastern African states, 5 or 6 of the southern former Soviet Union states, Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, and
a small strip of land known as Israel. All united under one leader ~ the Islamic Messiah ~ the Mahdi.
When these prophecies were made, Islam did not exist! John and Daniel didn’t know how to describe this thing. John did
tell us they would behead people! Rev. 20:4 tells of the people who were beheaded during the “Tribulation Time”. Who do
we know that beheads people? Islam!
So what we seem to have; is the Prophet Daniel seeing a parallel of Kingdoms that would rule in his day, in his immediate future up
until the time of the Messiah’s first coming; and a modern series of nations that would rule in the future up until the second coming
of the Messiah.
Daniel was seeing two separate time lines; one for the first coming, and the other for the second coming of the Messiah; he didn’t
understand that there would be two comings of the Messiah; he’s seeing the same visions that have a double application and double
meaning, at the same time; barely able to understand one time line, let alone two!
No wonder he said: “my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.” Daniel 7:15 NASB
And
then again: “my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale,” Daniel 7:28 NASB
The War with Gog and Magog: Ezekiel 38 and 39 ~ Here we are;
now at the War with Gog and Magog,
WWIII as many Bible scholars believe.
The world is entering into the Valley
of the Shadow of Death.
The great battle of the ages begins when Israel is restored under the reign of the house of David following the fulfillment
of the prophecies of Isaiah concerning Gaza and Damascus; inciting a massive coalition of world powers to destroy God’s people.
The vast host that comes against Jerusalem will end up as corpses strewn over the fields of the promised land, which will become
the cemetery of all the enemy hordes that invade it (According to Ezekiel Chapter 39). Three prophecies against Gog (Ezekiel
38:1–13, 14–23; 39:1–16) are followed by the depiction of a great feast in which the enemies of Israel are described in terms
of sacrificial animals (39:17–20).
First, let’s see who is involved in the war; who are coming against Israel. Let’s look at Ezekiel chapter 38:
And the word of
the LORD came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal,
and prophesy against him 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.
{We don’t know who Gog is exactly; there have been some speculation but Possibly the name is purposely vague, standing for a mysterious,
as yet undisclosed, enemy of God’s people. Ezekiel is using names and places that he is familiar with; that he understands. Magog was the name of a grandson of Noah, “Ma” can mean “place of” so Magog may be the place or land of Gog. Meshech and Tubal
are also names of grandsons of Noah as are some of the other names listed in the following verses. So Ezekiel is seeing where these
people are coming from and it is apparently in the lands that were once settled by these sons of Noah. If we look at where
these people settled, we see that they are north and far north of Israel.
The end of this section summarizes it as remote parts of the north {verse 15} with all its troops. So where are these places? Here’s what I believe: This Gog is the leader of the coalition coming against Israel. This is the instigator, the power
behind the push to destroy Israel. I believe that these first nations listed are Russia and 5 or 6 former southern Soviet Union
satellite states. {Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, and Kyrgzstan}
Now Putin may not be “Gog”; but could certainly be a forerunner, a predecessor to the one who is. Putin is currently promoting
the building of hundreds of Islamic Mosques in Russia! While at the same time calling Protestant Churches “Sects” and harassing
the pastors and promoting the Russian Orthodox Church as the State Church. In addition, Russia, through Putin, is applying for
membership in the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Russia is trying to become a member and in fact the leader of the
Islamic Alliance.}
Let’s read on............
4 “I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords; 5 Persia {This is modern Iran, an Islamic nation and one of Israel’s greatest enemies} , Ethiopia {In North-Eastern Africa just across the Red Sea from Arabia and Yemen; could also include other parts of central Africa; with strong Islamic ties}and Put {Modern Libya, in North Africa; could also include Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco; historic Islamic enemies of Israel} with them, all of them withshield and helmet; 6 Gomer with all its troops {This is Germany and Austria and all its troops may
include other countries in
the European Union}; Beth-togarmah {Modern Turkey and Turkistan; again strong Islamic nation}from the remote parts of the north with
all its troops—many peoples with you. {Ezekiel 38:1-6 NASB}
Notice these nations are either strong Islamic nations or they have ties and alliances with the Islamic world.
Now, let’s skip down to verse 8:
Now verse 10-12:
‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “It will come about on that day, that thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise
an evil plan, 11 and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will go against those who are at
rest, that live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12 to capture spoil and to seize plunder,
to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who
have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world.’
And verse 14:
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “On that day when My people Israel are living
securely, will you not know it?
Look how Israel is described here! “Living securely mentioned 3 times, unwalled villages, without bars or gates, blessed and prosperous. It is true that the nation of Israel is blessed and prosperous today; we could spend a whole lesson on how God has supernaturally
blessed Israel and how prophecy concerning Israel’s blessings and prosperity is coming to pass as we speak. But; they are not
living in security, without bars and gates, with unwalled villages. Instead they are under constant threat of bombings and missile
attack.
So when will Israel be secure and open to such an attack? We talked about this in our lesson “Road to Gog and Magog”. I believe that Israel will fulfill the prophecies of Isaiah, Amos, and other prophets concerning the destruction of Damascus ~ Syria
and the Palestinian threat. It will leave Israel venerable and severely weakened, but she will be victorious and will have established
some semblance of security. At that point in time is when this evil plot, as God calls it, is hatched. Russia and her
Islamic allies seize the opportunity to attack Israel and prepares the world for the coming Anti-Christ and the final return of the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords ~~ Jesus!!!
Now, let’s look and see who might not be involved in this army of Gog and Magog and how this might possibly relate to the United States
of America:
13 “ Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture
spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture
great spoil?’ ”
{Ezekiel 38:13 NASB}
As we can see from this verse, there are people who are not involved in this war on Israel. These peoples are not involved in
the war and are questioning those who are. Not getting up in arms to defend Israel, but working through Diplomatic Channels
~ talking to those whose war machine in poised to invade Israel.
Sheba and Dedan are the areas of Arabia that contain the oil fields; Tarshish indicates the far western nations particularly Spain
and even to England ~ and their young lions!
So, if we look at this with a modern
interpretation, using the information we have and the understanding of the
world that we have today that they
didn’t have prior to these current times;
we can see that Arabia is not
mentioned in the armies of Gog and
Magog; they are on the sidelines ~
probably because they are protecting
their oil wells and resources from the
Israeli’s. Remember, Israel has never
lost a war, in fact, they usually end the
war by capturing more land. Sure, they
may give it up later, but Arabia would
not want to risk losing their oil
resources by risking an open war with
Israel.
Again, using a modern interpretation based on the knowledge and understanding that we have today and world events; we see that Tarshish
and her young lions are also not involved. Spain has already declared their neutrality in this war, when they allowed terrorist
to dictate their elections and subsequent withdrawal from support on the “War on Terrorism”. It’s nothing new for Spain, really,
they have a history of neutrality on world issues in modern history. Mexico, Central and South America have seldom, if ever,
had much to do with any political issues across the ocean.
The big question here is WHY???
Look at Chapter 39:6, this may give us a clue to one reason why we are not involved:
6 “And I will send fire upon Magog
and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the LORD. {Ezekiel 39:6 NASB}
The King James reads:
And
I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
The Amplified Bible says it this way:
I will send fire on Magog and upon those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they
shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].
but without the Protecting Hand of God or His Blessings we see terrible things happening; natural disasters, man-made atrocities, demonic forces and attacks world wide and here in the United States of America.
We’ve already looked at what
is going on and what Satan is doing to destroy our Spiritual Heritage, and our Nation as “One Nation Under God”. Without God’s
Protection and Blessings we cannot withstand the onslaught of the Enemy!!
When God says He will send fire on the coastal areas where nations are dwelling in apparent security, where they think they
are immune from the terrorism of the world; rest assured that the fire will come; because God will withdraw His Protection and Blessings
from these areas. Where are our centers of population concentrated??? Along the coastal areas!
Understand, God is concerned about eternity; God is concerned about our Salvation! Anything that happens, God will use to the
advantage of His Will and His Purpose.
In order to understand, we need to apply some possible modern scenarios and interpretation to these “End of Days” events. We
just saw where fire is going to come down on those who think they are safe in their coastal cities. These are people who
are apparently not involved in the war. So here are some possibilities to consider that may help explain why the United States
and even Great Britain are not involved in this "War of Gog and Magog:
1. Suppose terrorist launch a nuclear device from a ship to our shores or detonate one in a major coastal city?
2. Suppose terrorist launch EMP's, Electro Magnetic Pulse devices from a ship to our shores or detonate one along the
eastern seaboard or western coast and literally shuts down all electronic equipment on the east or west coast?
3. Suppose terrorist here in the United States of America detonate several nuclear devices or EMP's spread throughout the country
at the same time?
4. Suppose a biological weapon is released in the U.S.; water supplies of major cities contaminated with an unknown biological
or chemical source; deadly natural or synthetic pathogens released in major population areas?
Don’t think that it can’t happen. Terrorists are gaining access to nuclear devices, there are nations who are helping them obtain
these devices; and the means to deploy them.
It doesn’t take much to develop an EMP, it can be done for just a few thousand dollars. You deploy an EMP over the eastern seaboard
from a ship and explode it in the atmosphere; you have just taken the east coast and everything connected to that electrical grid
off line and back to about 1820! It would take literally months and months to recover.
They already have evidence that a biological weapon has been created; that a small amount of this in a water supply could take out
2 million people before they even knew what was causing it.
If any one of these possibilities occurs around the same time at this war of Gog and Magog begins, the United States of America will
not be able to come to the aid and defense of Israel even if they wanted to. The same things could happen in England, Israel’s
other major supporter.
We need to pray for God’s protective hedge to remain tightly woven around our nation; we need to pray for God’s Angels to battle on our
behalf; we need to
understand that we
are engaged in a Spiritual
Battle with the Forces of
Darkness and demonic spirits
of foreign gods set on
destroying God's People.
Will these things happen? No one knows........ Maybe or maybe not.... But here are some other very real possibilities to consider:
6. What if we have a President in the White House and a Congress who decide that they will no longer support Israel and will no longer get involved militarily in their problems.
7. What if we have a President in the White House and a Congress that has decided that Islam is not really a threat or can be nullified as a threat to the United States by simply agreeing to Osama Bin Laden’s peace offer he made to the United States.
8. What if we have a President in the White House and a Congress who simply
decides that we are no longer going to fight Islamic terrorists any place except on our own soil.
The possibility of leadership in Washington that refuses to join with Israel in fighting Islamic terrorist, or any Islamic incursion
into the nation of Israel; is a very real possibility. All one has to do is observe the election rhetoric of the 2008 election
season and see this very real possibility looming in our future!
Without the political and military support of the United States of America; I am certain without a doubt, that no other country in
the world will step up to the plate and defend the nation of Israel. If the United States of America does not back Israel, no
one else is going to do it alone.
Any or all of these things are very real possible scenarios. BUT WAIT>>>> I have two more.
One a
possibility, one more possible scenario as to why the United States of America is not involved in this War of Gog and Magog;
the other, not a possibility but a fact based on the Word of God; in the end, the ultimate reason we are not involved
First let's talk about the Fact; the definitive reason why we are not involved in this war:
9. Are you ready for this??? Hard
as it may be to believe; it’s not the Will of God for the United States or Great Britain or any other country to be involved
in this war to help Israel?
It’s not about our protection; it has nothing do with us at all; it’s about ~ God Says!!!!
Look back at Ezekiel 38:23 NASB
“I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they
will know that I am the LORD.”’
Thus will I demonstrate My greatness and My holiness, and I will be recognized, understood, andknown in the eyes of many nations; yes, they shall know that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service].
Amplified Bible
“My holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let My holy name be profaned
anymore. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
And I will make My holy name known in the midst
of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name any more; and the nations shall know, understand, and realize that
I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
Amplified Bible
Israel is still God’s chosen people!
Understand, while 76% of Israel are classified as being of the Jewish religion; some 22% of these, call themselves “non-religious-traditionalist”; and 44% of these "Israeli Jews" define themselves as “secular Jews”. So, 66% of the Israeli Jews then are in fact non-practicing religious Jews.
Statistics also show that only 65% of the Israeli Jews even believe in God!
But never forget;
they are still God's chosen Covenant People, they are still the people from whom the Messiah comes, they are still the people with
whom God will fulfill His Word.
So God not only does this to show the world that there is a God in Israel, He is showing His own people that they still have a God
who loves them and will stand up for them.
This is why Israel will be allowed to rebuild the Temple; this is why the Anti-Christ will sign a peace treaty with Israel for seven years; this is why Israel will be allowed to begin sacrifices again on the Mountain of the Lord!
God is still God and He will show
the world that He is and that His Word will be fulfilled according to His purpose and His design.
Now we come to the final scenario, the very real possibility and possibly the catalyst for any or all of the other scenarios to take place; even though God's design and plan is to take care of this invading army Himself; the world is being prepared for the Tribulation and the Anti-Christ to take over.
ARE YOU READY??
Look at Ezekiel 39:9-10 NASB
“Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them,both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them. 10 “They
will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons;
Notice the seven year time period. For seven years they are going to be destroying the weapons. Daniel 9:27 talks about
a peace treaty that will be set up for seven years during the “Tribulation Time”. They will be disarming, it’s not just about
destroying weapons, it’s about total disarmament. This is the same seven year period that John talks about in Revelation.
Because of this seven year period mentioned here in Ezekiel, I believe that this war of Gog and Magog triggers the beginning of the
“Tribulation Time” and the “Rapture” of the Church.
Some believe that the Rapture takes place just before this war, some believe
during this war, and some believe right after this war.
Just imagine; this is WWIII; the nations are massing on the border of Israel and about to invade. For some reason, the United
States, England and other countries are not involved in this troop deployment either for or against Israel. Instead, they are
sitting securely on the sidelines and trying to solve this problem “Diplomatically” ~ let’s talk to these Islamic terrorist who are
determined to destroy Israel, {oh, and by the way; they want to destroy the United States of America too!!!! Don’t ever forget
that!}
While we are trying to “Talk” to them, they’re going on with their invasion. The world media networks are on the scene with
their satellite cameras, broadcasting the event to the world. This is the world news of the day.
Suddenly God rains down
hail, fire and brimstone on this army that is on the mountains of Israel:
I believe that at this point we are going to see the “Rapture” of the Church. We’ve always taught that when the “Rapture” happens
the whole world will know it, but will it? With all this going on, will the world really know that millions of people just vanished
off the face of the earth.
“Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
I Corinthians 15:51-54 KJV
What if, when we are “Raptured”, our spirits are immediately changed in the twinkling of an eye into our spirit bodies, our new bodies
~ incorruptible, our resurrected bodies. And, what if these old bodies simply collapse where they are?
Think about the world reaction then! Not only does hail, fire, and brimstone rain down from heaven on this invading horde of Islamic terrorist invading Israel; but what if they have with them WMD’s; nuclear and biological weapons that are set off by this assault. And, at the same time millions and millions of bodies across the world suddenly collapse lifeless to the ground! Imagine the world wide panic and chaos! It may be some time before anyone truly realizes what really took place.
And then theres this...... Millions of hated christians ~ infidels have suddenly dropped dead, many more than the number of the horde of islam that god has destroyed and islam cries......."see! allah has destroyed the infidels, see their bodies strewn across the world, allah has retaliated.....allah be praised"
and the door for the islamic mahdi, the anti-christ, is wide open to bring peace to a chaotic
world. Israel is left alone for a time; but the rest of the world is brought under the control of the Anti-christ because of
the vicotry of allah and then in the middle of the 7yr. tribulation; the anti-christ, the mahdi, islam invades and takes over israel
and jerusalem.
OKAY, NOW BACK TO THE WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG:
This war, I believe, initiates the “Tribulation Time”. I believe that Church of the First Born, the Bride of Christ is "Raptured",
"Caught Away", "Taken Out", however you want to refer to it ~
we're outta here; I believe that the first six seals are opened in
Heaven and the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” are released on
the earth. This war begins the onset of the Anti-Christ, war,
famine, and plagues on the earth. I believe that the earthquake
mentioned in Ezekiel 38:19 is the same earthquake that occurs with
the opening of the sixth seal in Revelation 6:12.
This is the
beginning of the End!
God’s Word tells us constantly to alert, to watch, to pray, to be sober, to understand the times and the seasons. Be ready for
the coming of the Lord!! Look up for your Redemption draws nigh!!
We've discussed the pre-Tribulation time of the United States and talked about where the US is now and where we could be going in the near future;
But Now...... What about after the Rapture of the Church?
What about after the Seven Year Tribulation begins?
Where is the United States then?
There are no specific prophecies in the Word of God naming America.
There are some who see the US in certain prophecies like Isaiah 18; or in prophecies about Babylon in Jeremiah & Revelation.
I’m not going to argue their viewpoints; but I think if we look at these closely; in the context and settings in which they are presented; we can see that they are not prophecies about the US. As much as some people like to think so, New York is not Babylon; the
United States of America is not the great evil
of the world.
The King James translates this as an “Angel”flying thru the midst of heaven, but the Greek word used here is not the word for angel,
but the word for Eagle. So we have an eagle flying through the heavens crying out to the world that the Wrath of God has come.
The United States Emblem is an Eagle; could it be that this “Eagle” represents an American Satellite broadcasting around the world
during the Tribulation Time still trying to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and warn a lost and dying world that they need to repent
and turn to God, because God is now pouring out His Wrath on the world. Maybe, Possibly????
This takes place at the middle part of the Tribulation. After the “Abomination of Desolation” told about in the prophecy of
Daniel. The nation of Israel has to flee from Israel, from Jerusalem to a place prepared for her by God. Many of us believe
that this place is the fortress of Petra in Jordan; here God will protect the remnant of Israel for 42 months; 3 and one-half years;
a time (one year), times (two years) and a half a time (one-half year); the latter part of the Tribulation, called the Great Tribulation!
Regardless of what happens during the Tribulation Time, we do know this:
Look at what Jesus said in Matt. 8:11 “I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;”
We are in the West, we are in the western hemisphere; we are a western nation.
If we go East; we find some of the largest Christian
Churches in the world are in Indonesia, Korea, and in the far East.
And a large number of us are sitting at the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb!! From the East and From the West ~ that’s us ~ we will be there in the Kingdom of Heaven with our Lord and Savior,
the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Jesus!
