Please take a moment to read the home page of this site that reveals how our Father purposely conceals His prophecy for us to discover as precept upon precept here a little there a little throughout His Word:

There is a special blessing promised to the Christian who seeks to understand the prophecy of Revelation:

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.

But a proper understanding of the book of Revelation can only be achieved through the many precepts hidden throughout the OT combined with the precepts of the NT making prophecy more sure:

2 Peter 1:19-21 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: (20) knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. (21) For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Everything the OT children of God experienced were written as both an admonition and prophecy of what the NT children of God will experience at the end of the ages:

1 Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

Father also promised us that history(His~story) would repeat through the ages:

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (10) Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

We have 6000 years of His~story from Genesis to Revelation that proves our Father has created and used increasingly more evil rulers of darkness over this world to chasten His children to bring repentance:

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.

2 Samuel 7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Matthew 12:43-45 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. (44) Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.

He uses these spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places ruling through the kingdoms of the world to bring repentance in His children through the course of time:

Deuteronomy 28:25 Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out one way against them, and shalt flee seven ways before them: and thou shalt be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.

It is combining this history that is also prophecy of the OT with the NT that will properly define the mystery of who “Babylon the Great” is today:

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. (13) Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words.

But as NT believers, we must also discern the Spirit of the Word to properly interpret who “Babylon the Great” is rather than looking at the letter that would point to the ancient city of Babylon that still exists today along the Euphrates river in Iraq:

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: (5) not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; (6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

The phrase “Babylon the Great” is first mentioned in the book of Revelation where she is described as a “mystery” who is a very wealthy harlot with a cup full of abominations and sitting as a master upon the beast during the tribulation:

Revelation 17:1-5 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; (2) with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. (3) And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, (5) and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

This woman is also described as a “great city” who reigns over all the nations of the earth through their leaders before and during the tribulation:

Revelation 17:18 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

We know that the ancient city of Babylon ruled over a vast empire called Babylon. So is it possible that the OT scriptures of Babylon are prophecies of America as “Babylon the Great” ruling over the whole world through the United Nations headquartered in the city of New York in the USA?

The United States is a melting pot of mingled people from many nationalities, cultures, and religions making her a microcosm of the United Nations:

Jeremiah 50:35-37  A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. (36) A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed. (37) A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.

She began as a humble God fearing virgin but became a proud self righteous harlot with many gods just like the city of JER(USA)LEM did in the days of Ahab:

2 Chronicles 21:11-13 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah astray. (12) And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, (13) but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself:

Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

So let’s combine some NT prophecies in Revelation chapters 17 & 18 with some OT prophecies to see if the United States is indeed a daughter of the ancient city of Babylon ruling a global empire of Babylon in these last days:

Revelation 17:1 & 5  And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;…..(5)  and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 

The many waters represent the peoples, multitudes, and nations this great harlot will reign over:

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

The prophet Habakkuk was shown an end time Babylon who, considering herself invincible, flies as an eagle to devour the earth, possessing dwelling-places that are not theirs while gathering many peoples to work her lands:

Habakkuk 1:6-11  For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. (7) They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. (8) Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour. (9) They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as the sand. (10) Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it. (11) Then shall he sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, even he whose might is his god.

America with her symbol of the eagle sets her nest on high in pride as it controls most of the nations of the earth through its embassies, military bases, banking cartels, and corporations. She does not keep at home but has spread throughout the world exploiting and corrupting all the nations:

Habakkuk 2:3-10 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (4) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. (5) Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (6) Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! (7) Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? (8) Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. (9) Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! (10) Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

The city of Babylon had the symbol of the great eagle as does the USA who sitting high in her economic and military nest has spoiled and taken captive many nations through overt and covert operations:

Ezekiel 17:1-4 & 12  And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,  (2) Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;  (3)  and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (4) he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants…..(12) Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon.

She is a land divided up by many rivers who as an eagle with rustling wings flies to every nation with ambassadors controlling them with treaties for she was strong from her beginning:

Isaiah 18:1-2 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; (2) that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!

Let’s read further in Revelation:

Revelation 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.

The USA as Babylon is making all the nations drunken with the wine of her fornication which is blinding them in pleasures, deceit, and madness from Hollywood and the porn industry that flows out of such places as California, sin city Las Vegas, and New Orleans:

Isaiah 29:9 Tarry ye and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

Micah 2:11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

America is decked with wealth and a cup full of abominations that are spreading all over the globe:

Revelation 17:3-5 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, (5) and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

She is the youngest daughter of the nations who was tender, delicate and beautiful in her youth but is now a desolate harlot:

Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jeremiah 51:41 How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

Isaiah 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

The Babylonian “sex” goddess “Ishtar” was adopted by the Roman Empire and given the Latin name “Libertas” which translates to the English word “Liberty”. French freemasons Laboulaye and Bartholdi the sculptor created the Lady Liberty statue that sits in New York harbor, as the goddess of personal freedom and liberty replicating the sex goddess their Masonic movement idolizes:

Isaiah 47:7-8 And thou saidst, I shall be mistress for ever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof. (8) Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

America lives as a mistress who uses her power to corrupt the world with her abominable pleasures thus becoming the mother of harlots. She promotes the freedom of sex through her multi-billion dollar porn industry which feeds the abortion industry that has slaughtered over 60 million babies under the banner of “freedom of choice”:

Revelation 18:3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

She is the richest end time nation with seaports in both the Atlantic and the Pacific who make nations rich that trade with her through ships:

Jeremiah 51:12-13 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that which he spake concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. (13) O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness.

Revelation 18:3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

Revelation 18:7 How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning.

Revelation 18:19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

She is a nation rich in mineral wealth, cattle, sheep, horses, and being the bread basket of the world:

Revelation 18:10-13 standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (11) And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more; (12) merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; (13) and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.

Her merchants rule the earth through her deception with sorcery(Greek: pharmakia = medication~drugs) both legal and illegal as most pharmaceutical giants are headquartered in the USA:

Revelation 18:23 and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived.

Isaiah 47:9 but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.

Isaiah 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

America is full of a multitude of counsels from the occult:

Isaiah 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.

She is famous for music and entertainment as well as craftsmen and factories:

Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;

She is a nation perverted by “higher education” and its progressive liberal ideology:

Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

It is this liberal progressive demonic ideology that is going to help America fulfill her end time role as a slaughterer of Christians. She has already slaughtered many people in the form of abortions, eugenics, ethnic cleansing, racism, genocide, and endless wars under the guise of spreading freedom:

Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.

We know the ancient city of Babylon was a walled city with high gates that ruled the Empire of Babylon with many provinces that stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean sea and northward to the black sea:

Jeremiah 51:58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.

Daniel 2:49 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the provinces of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king.

America is a militarily walled nation that has not been occupied by a foreign army since it gained it’s independence from her mother Britain whose national symbol is the lion:

Jeremiah 50:1 & 12 & 42  The word that Jehovah spake concerning Babylon….(12) your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert…..(42)……every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

But mother Britain is going to be confounded when her daughter’s wings are plucked from off her back:

Daniel 7:3-4  And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.  (4)  The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it.

America is the world’s policeman:

Jeremiah 50:23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

President Trump has just commissioned a space force to war in the heavens:

Jeremiah 51:53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah.

America has often been referred to as lady liberty from her inception but has since saddled the end time beast reigning over their kings with coercion:

Revelation 17:7 & 18  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns……(18) And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

She is used by God to bring the whole earth into submission to the beast before she is destroyed:

Jeremiah 27:6-8 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him. (7) And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman. (8) And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

Now that we have enough prophecy from the OT and NT to prove the mystery harlot woman is America, lets discover who this beast is that she rides:

Revelation 17:7-8 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns. (8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.

Revelation goes on to reveal that the mind who has wisdom will understand that this beast with its seven heads represent seven mountains as seven kings:

Revelation 17:9-10 Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth: (10) and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.

These seven mountains are seven kingdoms such as Babylon:

Isaiah 13:1-4 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. (2) Set ye up a banner upon the high mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. (3) I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones. (4) The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle.

America as an end time “mystery Babylon” has been destroying many nations but will be a burnt mountain in her end:

Jeremiah 51:24-25 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith Jehovah. (25) Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

Though many physical kings reigned during each kingdom’s physical existence, such as Persia, there is a spiritual king known as a prince over their principality who ruled in darkness over each kingdom and their kings:

Daniel 10:13-14 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. (14) Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This gives us the wisdom to interpret the seven heads as five kingdoms that have already fallen before 96 AD when John was on the Isle of Patmos. A sixth kingdom presently existed at his time and the seventh kingdom was not yet in existence at that time:

Revelation 17:9-10 Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth: (10) and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.

In keeping with history(His~story) lets work our way through the scriptures to first identify the five kingdoms that already fell through the Old Testament and the sixth kingdom that was present during the penning of the entire New Testament.

Each successive kingdom conquered more landmass than their predecessor and was more ruthless in their dealings with the children of God for wandering from His commands.

Egypt was the first kingdom that ruled the known world from the time of Abraham in Genesis until the time God destroyed her with Moses:

Genesis 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.

Exodus 10:7 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man(Moses) be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

The Assyrian kingdom was the second kingdom that ruled the known world from the time of Israel’s division shortly after the death of Solomon until the fall of Nineveh during the reign of king Josiah:

1 Kings 11:25 & 43  And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria……(43) And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

Zephaniah 2:13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.

The Babylonian kingdom was the third kingdom that ruled the known world from the time of Israel’s captivity by Nebuchadnezzar until his son king Belshazzar was slain and the Medeo~Persian empire began under Darius the Mede:

2 Kings 24:11-12 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it; (12) and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

Daniel 5:30-31 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain. (31) And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

The Medeo~Persian kingdom was the forth kingdom that ruled the known world first by Darius the Mede who was followed by four primary Persian kings being Cyrus, Darius, Ahasuerus, and then Artaxerxes. These all played a part in the rebuilding of Jerusalem:

Ezra 4:5-7 and hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. (6) And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. (7) And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian character, and set forth in the Syrian tongue.

The Grecian kingdom was the fifth kingdom that ruled the known world through Alexander the Great and then his four generals who divided the kingdom:

Daniel 11:2-3 And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. (3) And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

The Grecian kingdom existed during the 400 years between the OT and the NT which is often referred to as the dark ages.

The Roman kingdom was the sixth kingdom that ruled the known world from around 44BC to 476AD and was used by our Father to crucify Jesus:

John 11:48-52 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. (49) But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, (50) nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. (51) Now this he said not of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; (52) and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

So from Abraham to the death of Jesus there were 6 kingdoms that had polluted the children of God both spiritually with their false gods along with their physical seed that made Samaritans. They were half Jew and half Gentile and considered unclean such as the woman at the well that Jesus spoke with:

John 4:9  The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

She represents the unfaithful children of God who already had 5 kingdoms they had spiritually fornicated with and were presently fornicating with the Roman kingdom that killed their bridegroom Jesus who as the Word of God is her true seed:

John 4:17-18  The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:  (18)  for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

Revelation 17:10  and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.

John 3:28-30  Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.  (29)  He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is made full.  (30)  He must increase, but I must decrease.

Luke 8:11  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

In order to properly interpret the seventh kingdom that did not exist as of the penning of the book of Revelation we must incorporate prophecies of both the OT and NT as one to reveal this kingdom. The sixth kingdom had been smitten unto death but his death-stroke was healed as the seventh head of the beast:

Revelation 13:1-3 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. (2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, 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 throne, and great authority. (3) And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

We already proved above that America is the only country on the earth in these last days that fits all the prophecies of “Babylon the great” as a city/nation ruling a worldwide kingdom called Babylon. Let’s revisit the book of Daniel for more clues of the spiritual beast kingdoms that will inhabit this beast in our latter days:

Daniel 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel 2:28 but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

The Egyptian and Assyrian kingdoms were already swallowed up by the first Babylon before the time Daniel became a captive. God was revealing through Daniel the spiritual princes and powers that rule the kingdoms of the world and the part they play up until the final beast of Revelation:

Daniel 2:29 as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

Ephesians 2:2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

Please notice that when Daniel first reveals the dream to the king, he describes the great image as being smote and destroyed together as one “image of the beast” by Jesus who is the stone cut out without hands:

Daniel 2:31-36 Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. (32) As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, (33) its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. (34) Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. (35) Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (36) This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

This great image that will be smote as one at its feet is the beast with his seven headed ten horned kings and their armies of the earth who will be conquered with the sword of Jesus’ mouth:

Revelation 13:15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Revelation 19:19-21 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. (20) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: (21) and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Now that we know this image of the worldwide beast will be destroyed as one by Jesus at the end, lets take a look at the interpretation which is going to prove both a physical succession of kingdoms as well as authority within the end time beast that comprises all seven kingdoms and their spiritual princes.

The first kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar’s image is Babylon as a head of gold, which we now know to be America, who God is going to give power, strength, and glory so that she rules over all the other kingdoms in the latter days:

Daniel 2:37-38 Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; (38) and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold.

Revelation 17:18 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Daniel records other visions throughout his book that we will now combine with Nebuchadnezzar’s image to further prove this beast. At the height of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign he was as proud as a lion with eagle’s wings that reached unto heaven:

Daniel 4:20-23 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; (21) whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation: (22) it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. (23) And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass,

Until God Most High cut him down as a “beast” of the field who grew hair as eagle feathers and nails as a bird’s claws:

Daniel 4:31-33 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee: (32) and thou shalt be driven from men; and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. (33) The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

God Most High plucked off Nebuchadnezzar’s wings of pride lifted this lion beast up from the earth and made him to stand upon two feet as a man with a humbled heart who praised the KING of heaven:

Daniel 7:2-4 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea. (3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. (4) The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it.

Daniel 4:36-37 At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me. (37) Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

But God was also showing Nebuchadnezzar that his kingdom would become a stump without a head of gold as his son Belshazzar who was cut down and swallowed up by Darius the Mede:

Daniel 5:18-22, 28, 30-31 O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty: (19) and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down. (20) But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: (21) and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts’, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will. (22) And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this,……(28) PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians…….(30) In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain. (31) And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

America was a spiritual tree of life that reached to the ends of the earth through missionaries with the gospel but is falling morally within and besieged by Muslim people of Elam and Media through immigration just before her physical fall:

Isaiah 21:2 & 9  A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease……(9)  and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.

This stump with its roots became the Medeo~Persian kingdom who was inferior to Babylon as the silver breast and arms of Nebuchadnezzar’s image:

Daniel 2:32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

Daniel 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 

This second kingdom was like a bear with a lower side which was the Medes and a raised up side which was the dominant Persian kings of the empire:

Daniel 7:5 And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

The three ribs in the mouth of this bear represent the Egyptian, Assyrian, and Babylonian empires with their spiritual princes that this Medeo~Persian empire and it’s prince swallowed up:

Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Daniel was also shown this empire was likened to a ram with a shorter horn that represented the kings of the Medes and a taller horn that came up last which was the four primary kings of Persia:

Daniel 8:3-4 & 19-20 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. (4)  I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself…..19-20 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end. (20) The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

Daniel 11:1-2  And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. (2) And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

The third kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar’s image that ruled over the earth was Greece with its spiritual prince as the belly and thighs of brass that banded the Babylonian stump:

Daniel 2:32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

Daniel 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

Daniel 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass.

This third kingdom was led by its first king “Alexander the Great” who moved like a leopard, with his four generals as heads, to conquer Medeo~Persia:

Daniel 7:6 After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

All of these kingdoms are controlled by demon spirit princes but servants of the Lord such as Daniel have an angel prince from our Father:

Daniel 10:20-21 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come. (21) But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince.

“Alexander the Great” was also likened to a notable horn on his he-goat army that came from the west with furry to conquer the Medeo~Persian ram:

Daniel 8:5-8 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. (6) And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. (7) And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. (8) And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.

After Alexander the Great’s death at the age of 32, the Grecian empire broke up into four weaker kingdoms within the nation:

Daniel 8:21-22 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. (22) And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

The fourth kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar’s image that ruled over the earth as the legs of iron was the Roman empire that also banded the Babylonian stump:

Daniel 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.

Daniel 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass.

This fourth kingdom devours all the beast kingdoms before it and is diverse from all the others in its power to devour the whole earth:

Daniel 7:7 & 19 & 23  After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns……(19) Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;……(23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

The people of the Roman empire and its prince were used by God to first crucify His Son Jesus in 30 AD and then destroy Jerusalem and its temple in 70AD:

Daniel 9:26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one(Jesus) be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

The power and authority of the previous four kingdoms of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream are manifesting in the last beast:

Revelation 13:1-3 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. (2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard(Grecian~brass), and his feet were as the feet of a bear(Medeo-Persian~silver), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion(Babylonian): and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. (3) And I saw one of his heads(Roman~iron) as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

The Roman Empire was not conquered but fell from within in 476AD due to moral decay thus the death-stroke of it’s head. This mortal wound was healed after America with the allied forces conquered Germany in WW2. They established the UN in 1945 that began unifying the present countries, the Roman Empire once ruled, in relative peace up until presently.

In the last 75 years the UN has grown to 193 member nations of the 195 nations of the world as the whole earth wonders after this resurrected beast:

https://www.un.org/en/about-us/growth-in-un-membership

So from the days of Abraham we have five kingdoms that fell in succession: 1)Egyptian, then 2)Assyrian, then 3)Babylonian, then 4)Medeo~Persian, then 5)Grecian, then the one that was in power in 96 AD being the: 6)Roman, and finally today the 7)revived Roman empire:

Revelation 17:10 and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.

The seed of all those empires now populate the earth which is ruled by the UN who is ruled by the G20 who is ruled by the G7:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_Seven

Nebuchadnezzar’s image of iron legs transitioning into feet of part iron and part clay represent the old Roman empire reviving as the roman beast with seven crowned heads:

Daniel 2:33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

The iron represents the daughter of Babylon which is harlot America who was birthed out of and now leads those nations within the old Roman empire in what is often referred to as the west or NATO. The clay represents the rest of the nations with China and Russia which is often referred to as the East:

Daniel 2:41  And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

Jeremiah 51:33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.

The spiritual princes of the first six physical kingdoms with the great red dragon are presently ruling the world through the revived Roman empire and its banking system represented by the seven crowns on the seven heads with harlot America reigning over them all:

Revelation 12:3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns.

Revelation 17:18 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Daniel saw the Roman empire as the strongest most diverse beast of his visions for it continued from its infancy in 44 BC to devouring the whole earth as ten horns by it’s end: 

Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

This great red dragon through the seven headed G7 will make a covenant with the UN that will begin the seven years of tribulation:

Daniel 9:26-27 And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one(Jesus) be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince(the great red dragon) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined. (27) And he(the prince~the great red dragon) shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.

Father is going to cast the dragon with his demon “prince” angels down to the earth to make this covenant to start the tribulation so they can use the UN to begin persecuting the church:

Revelation 12:7-10  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; (8) and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. (10)  And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 

But just before the tribulation begins our Father is going to raise up a corporate body of the manchild born out of the woman church to be the “they” who will nourish the church driven out into their wilderness:

Revelation 12:1-6 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman(the church) arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; (2) and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. (3) And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. (4) And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. (5) And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. (6) And the woman(the church) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they(manchild) may nourish her(the church) a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

This corporate body of the manchild called “they” are the 144,000 men who were purchased out of the earth by the blood of Jesus who have allowed that blood to cleanse them of all the apostate teaching presently in the woman church today so that they are standing in the heavenly places of mount Zion with Jesus:

Revelation 14:1-5 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. (2) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps: (3) and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth. (4) These are they that were not defiled with women(many apostate church denominations); for they are virgins. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. (5) And in their mouth was found no lie(apostasy): they are without blemish.

During the first half of the tribulation, being 1260 days or “a time, and times, and half a time”, the true church will begin to separate from those who will refuse to go into their wilderness. There will also be some of the church who venture out for a time but do not exercise the faith to overcome the dragon to the point that they are willing to die for their faith:

Revelation 12:11-15  And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. (12) Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. (13)  And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman(the church) that brought forth the man child. (14) And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

It is during the first half of this wilderness that the Father will protect most of the true church as He refines them. They will also be spreading the unleavened truth, the corporate manchild nourished them with, that will produce a seed of many more believers who walk in obedience:

Revelation 12:15-17)  And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. (16) And the earth helped the woman(the true church), and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. (17) And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

For those who still believe the church will fly away before seven years of tribulation please study this link:

During the first half of the tribulation, the dragon will begin shifting the crowns of authority from the seven heads to the ten sets of horns above the seven heads of his beast by the midst of the tribulation:

Revelation 13:1 and he(the dragon) stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

At the end of the two feet are ten toes of iron mixed with clay that represent the ten crowns on the horns of the seven heads of the beast who will rule both the east and west as the 8th manifestation of the beast’s rule over fallen men during the last half of the 7 years called “great tribulation” and the year of wrath:

Revelation 17:10-13  and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.  (11)  And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.  (12)  And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.  (13)  These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.

This final kingdom of the whole world will mingle together through the UN as many nations(seeds) of men but they do not cleave to one another:

Daniel 2:42-43  And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. (43) And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.

Here is the map that the UN and the “World Constitution and Parliament Association” have already drafted to divide up the world into ten political and economic world magna-regions they call kingdoms:

The dragon will give the beast authority for the last 42 months called great tribulation. This is to finish separating God’s people from those who will continue to worship the beast in an attempt to preserve their temporal life on earth:

Revelation 13:4-5 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him? (5) and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.

Please notice that the dragon directs his blasphemy toward the tabernacle of God “even them that dwell in the heaven“:

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven.

The corporate manchild along with the true church and her seed are in their spiritual wilderness dwelling in their minds and hearts on the things of heaven rather than on the earth:

Colossians 3:1-3 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. (2) Set your mind on the things that are above(heaven), not on the things that are upon the earth. (3) For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Our Father is going to give the dragon “authority” over the whole world to help the saints overcome their flesh’s desire for the things of the earth even unto death:

Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

The dragon knows he already has those who “dwell on the earth” whose names were never written in the book of life of the Lamb:

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.

For more understanding on the “book of life” please read this link:

So the dragon is looking to devour those saints all over the world who will chose the beast’s earthly things rather than suffering for their faith:

1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, (9) whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

Paul teaches us that our “heavenly calling” is to learn to forsake dwelling in our minds on the things of the earth as we train our minds to dwell on the things of heaven:

Hebrews 3:1 & 6  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus;…..(6) but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

We are here to imitate the holy life of Christ as Paul did while on earth after his conversion on the road to Damascus:

Ephesians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: (4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Those saints who have trained their minds to dwell in the heavens while here on earth will manifest the faith and patience to endure every trial firm unto our end as our tribulation intensifies:

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him(the dragon) because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.

Revelation 13:9-10 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. (10) If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword(personal weapon which today is a gun), with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

But those Christians who chose to defend their lives with a personal weapon rather than the weapons of our warfare are proving they love this life more than to be with our savior in heaven and will not endure unto their end:

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (4) (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

Philippians 1:23 But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

John 12:25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Matthew 24:13 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

There is a second beast that will rise up out of the “earth” who as a corporate body of the antichrist will prophesy that they are “anointed” with the truth:

Revelation 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Matthew 24:5 & 11  For many shall come in my name(Jesus), saying, I am Christ(anointed); and shall lead many astray……(11)  And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.

They fashion themselves as lambs who minister righteousness but their apostate teachings come from the dragon:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. (14) And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. (15) It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

This religious second beast called the “false prophet” will be given authority by the dragon to do great signs that will deceive many Christians into worshiping the first beast with all the earthly wealth it temporarily possesses:

Revelation 13:12-13 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. (13) And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:

The same authority and earthly wealth the devil promised Jesus if he would worship him:

Luke 4:5-8 And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. (6) And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. (7) If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine. (8) And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Like Jesus; we must defeat the devil by dwelling in the heavens with the spoken Word by faith. Those who don’t may “shrink back unto perdition” thus proving they “dwell on the earth” as Judas Iscariot did:

Hebrews 10:38-39 But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. (39) But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.

For more understanding on how Jesus’ disciple named Judas Iscariot shrunk back into perdition please see this link:

This second false prophet beast will deceive those that “dwell on the earth” into making an image to the first beast:

Revelation 13:14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.

Nebuchadnezzar built an image of gold that he set up in the plain of Dura. This image represents the image of the beast set up in the world:

Daniel 3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore(60) cubits, and the breadth thereof six(6) cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura(circle~dwell~world~Greek~kosmos~600), in the province of Babylon.  

Greek ~ κόσμος ~ kosmos ~ world ~ numerical value of 600

The word “Dura” is a proper locative noun defined as “circle or dwelling”:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h1757/kjv/wlc/0-1/

The root word of “Dura” is the verb “dur” referring to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell on the earth:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h1753/kjv/wlc/0-1/

Daniel 4:35  and all those dwelling on the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among those dwelling on the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Isaiah 40:18 & 22 To whom then will ye liken God(Most High)? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?……(22) It is he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

As Nebuchadnezzar, the first beast will use the false prophet beast as a herald to preach a message of death to those who do not fall down and worship the image of the beast:

Daniel 3:4-6 Then the herald(he who proclaims~preacher) cried(preached) aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, (5) that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up; (6) and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Revelation 13:15  And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

We know Daniel’s three friends yielded up their bodies in faith rather than serve Nebachadnezzer’s gods or worship his image knowing full well the consequences of their choice. The furnace of their trial was heated 7 times hotter, which represents our 7 years of increasing tribulation, that they were preserved through for trusting in our Most High God and Father:

Daniel 3:17-19 & 26 & 28  If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. (18) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (19) Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated…..(26) Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire…..(28) Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel(His Word), and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

The prophecies given to Daniel were not to be understood until near the time of the end:

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Father has increased man’s knowledge and ability to run to and fro over the earth with the mass production of vehicles and planes beginning in the early 1900s. The speed, volume, and distance that nations can travel and ship to each other has exponentially increased over the last 120 years.

But nothing has compared to the speed and volume of commerce that now circles the globe through the “world wide web”~”www” since its inception in the 1960s:

https://www.whoishostingthis.com/resources/history-of-web/

Just as Nebuchadnezzar demanded all his kingdom come and worship his image; so too the dragon is presently drawing the whole world to wonder(admire ~ worship) after the beast through the image of the “world wide web” as this 3 minute video illustrates:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DU1B_XkyIk

Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

The world is being conditioned by the beast to gaze in worship for hours a day into their devices so that when the time comes most will willingly give their mark in their hand or head to remain connected to the beast:

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to give him(the beast) a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Each human has a unique finger print, iris, or face that this beast alliance intends to scan and store in the “world wide web” as an individual biometric identifier:

https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insight-blockchain-id2020

Embedded within that link is this 3 minute video that says the world has the right to declare “I AM” through the beast’s protocols:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYy8a7HDJ0g&feature=emb_title

Our Father who is the Most High God is the only “I AM”:

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

But the dragon who is also called Lucifer desires to exalt his throne upon a congregation using the cloud of the internet to make himself like the Most High:

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations! (13) And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.

There is a planned economic reset that will replace cash with digital currencies which requires the “world wide web” to buy and sell. This will give the beast the ability to control who can buy and sell by controlling who can access the internet through which all exchange will soon take place:

Revelation 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.

The English word “name” comes from the Greek word “onoma” and means “nature, character, and authority”:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G3686&t=KJV

Father gave us some very interesting clues as to how to count the number of the “name” of the beast which is the number of a “man”:

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six(chi-xi-stigma).

A study of the Greek root words “chi-xi-stigma” reveals the number of “Cain” who was the firstborn son of man(adam). Adam became the first fleshly father(abba). Cain was born between “abba” and his second born brother “Abel”:

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5516&t=KJV

Cain represents the firstborn son of man(adam) who as a “son of God” chose not to rule over his earthly flesh but rather follow the name(nature, character, and authority) of his spiritual father the devil:

Genesis 4:2-8 And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. (3) And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah. (4) And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering: (5) but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (6) And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? (7) If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire; but do thou rule over it. (8) And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

For more understanding on who the “sons of God” are please read this link:

https://sumofthyword.com/2019/02/15/who-are-the-sons-of-god-of-genesis-6/

Jesus proved some of His Jewish brethren were sons of the devil who chose to murder Him just like Cain murdered his brother Abel:

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.

Cain became the first soul driven from the face of God and marked to “dwell on the earth” as a wanderer with no possible restoration of a spiritual relationship with our Father that he once had:

Genesis 4:13-16 And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear. (14) Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me. (15) And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah put a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should smite him. (16) And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Ever since the marking for reprobation of Cain, history(His~story) has been repeating in the proving of all sons of men to see who is living in the wicked image of a “beast” and who is living in the righteous image of God:

Ecclesiastes 3:15-18 That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. (16) And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there. (17) I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. (18) I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

Those Christians who choose to forsake the right way and go astray are proving they deserve to be numbered with Cain as a part of the beast:

2 Peter 2:12-15 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; (13) And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to revel in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; (14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: (15) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Cain represents all humans who are born first as a natural earthy man who desires to dwell on earthly things as a beast. But those who are born from above receive the Spirit of Christ as our second born spiritual man who desires to overcome that name(nature, character, and authority) of the beast. This is bearing the spiritual image of dwelling in the heavenly:

1 Corinthians 15:45-49 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam(Jesus) became a life-giving spirit. (46) Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural(son of man); then that which is spiritual(son of God). (47) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. (48) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy(mind the things of the earth): and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly(those who imitate Paul who imitated Jesus). (49) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Those Christians who don’t overcome the beast prove they are enemies of the cross of Christ who continue to mind earthly things:

Philippians 3:17-19 Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample. (18) For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: (19) whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

Cain refused to repent and bring a respectable sacrifice as Abel’s which in type represented Jesus’ physical sacrifice and our spiritual service. We are sons of man(adam) who are to present our bodies a living “continual” sacrifice as “sons of God” and the temple of God:

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (17) If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Psalms 82:6 I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

For more understanding on being a son of God in the congregation of God please see this link:

https://sumofthyword.com/2019/03/16/psalm-82-the-congregation-of-god/

Our Father warned us that by the midst of the seven year tribulation some Christians will allow the dragon to set himself up in their holy place within their temple of God causing their continual sacrifice and oblation to cease:

Daniel 9:27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.

Those Christians who yield to the dragon will be proving “the man of sin” is sitting in their temple setting himself forth as their god which causes their sacrifice to cease as a son of perdition:

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, (4) he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

John went on to prove that there were many “antichrists” in his day that were already forming a body of “antichrist” that will be a corporate body of the second beast called the “false prophet”:

1 John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. (19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

These last hour “antichrists” are a body of those such as Judas Iscariot who was an apostle of Christ but would not overcome his lust for money.

As proven above, harlot America is Babylon the great who has been drawing the world into spiritual fornication with her. She continues to fall further into great iniquity as she is inhabited with more and more demons and unclean spirits:

Revelation 18:1-3  After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. (2) And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. (3) For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.

God’s people must spiritually come out of her or they will fall with her:

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: (5) for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

The church has always been commanded to come out of all uncleanness but the 7 years of tribulation will help expedite the coming out of all God’s people before the year of wrath commences:

2 Corinthians 6:17-18 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, (18) And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Father has promised to shorten the great tribulation to 1290 days as the persecution will become so deadly that if He allowed it to go any longer there wouldn’t be any of the elect left to rapture alive:

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

Matthew 24:15 & 21-22 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),…..(21) for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. (22) And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

There is a special blessing for some of the saints who patiently endure the 1290 days of great tribulation who are alive and remain:

Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; (17) then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Those who are still alive are promised to witness “only with their eyes” the six trumpets of wrath while resting in their spiritual ark of our Father’s Psalm 91 promises until they are lifted up in the rapture/resurrection on the 1335th day:

Psalms 91:1-8  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  (2)  I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.  (3)  For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.  (4) He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.  (5)  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;  (6)  For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wastethat noonday.  (7)  A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.  (8)  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.

Those 45 days after the 1290 days are the beginning of the “the day of the Lord” also called “the year of His redeemed”. That “year of wrath” begins immediately after the 7 years of tribulation as this link proves with many scriptures:

https://sumofthyword.com/2016/10/04/the-rapture-of-the-church-is-after-the-tribulation/

When Jesus opens the 6th seal, the seven years of tribulation ends as the whole earth realizes He and His Father are about to start their wrath on them that “dwell on the earth”:

Revelation 6:12-17 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; (13) and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. (14) And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (15) And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; (16) and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (17) for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

The 7th seal is the half hour silence that marks the start of the “year of wrath” with the 7 trumpets:

Revelation 8:1-2 And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (2) And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.

Father is going to put into the hearts of some of the beast nations to destroy harlot America by nuclear fire in one day near the beginning of that “year of wrath” after the tribulation:

Revelation 17:16-17 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. (17) For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

Revelation 18:8-10 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her. (9) And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning, (10) standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

The first 6 trumpets will then begin to rain down many types of fire, break open the pit of the abyss, and overflow the earth with fire, smoke, and brimstone through the next 40 days. The 7th and last trump will be the resurrection/rapture of the saints and the finishing of the mystery of God:

Revelation 10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not 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.

Once the saints are safely home our Father will then command His angels to pour out the last seven plagues that finish the wrath of God over the remainder of that year:

Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God.

Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.

Our Father will use the demons of the dragon, beast, and false prophet to draw all the rest of the world to the valley of Har-Magedon during the outpouring of His bowls of wrath:

Revelation 16:13-16 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: (14) for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (15) (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) (16) And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

At the end of that year Jesus returns to the earth with His army of saints to conquer the beast and set up His eternal kingdom:

Revelation 19:11-21 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. (12) And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. (13) And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (14) And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. (15) And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. (16) And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God; (18) that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great. (19) And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army. (20) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: (21) and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
