Hi David,
It’s me, peter, again. Thanks for replying back to my comment. I did look through your study about how Islam is the clay. I’m not quite understanding yet of how they can be the clay. I checked in strong’s concordance/bdb on the word mix/mingle, and the transliteration or def, means
arab. But I don’t see how it can say “arab” then ” seed of men”. To me, I’m just reading “and they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men”. But if I were to read it ” to and they shall “arab” with the seed of men”, I wonder if arab is not just a ” word” that means to mingle..or maybe because the English language isn’t able to fully express the meaning of the Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic?
Sorry, I really want to get this. Thanks God bless.
Peter
Hi Peter, I’ve learned to look at history to see how a certain prophecy has been fulfilled. We know that the iron in the feet is Rome, so we have to look at how they mingle with another people group through history, to help advance their agenda, which is to kill Jews and the saints. So with the word ‘mingle’ pointing to the Arabs, I looked at how they partner with the Arabs.
A former Jesuit Alberto Rivera shared that the Roman Catholic Church helped write the Qur’an. The Popes empowered the Arabs to killed Jews and the saints, and to go conquer Jerusalem. So we have a match.
But they Muslims tried to conquer more territory that the Popes would have liked, and when the Muslims captured Jerusalem they did not give it to the Pope, but rather built their own temple on the mount. So they warred against each other during the Crusades.
So the clue was confirmed by history, in that they both work towards the same agenda, to kill saints, to help overthrow the leaders of countries, etc.
If you search Youtube you can find many videos showing that the Jesuit controlled CIA created/trained/armed/funded Al Qaeda and ISIS, to carry out their Inquisition, and to help overthrow leaders in Libya, Egypt and now in Syria.
So we can see the fulfillment. The two create false religious systems, Roman Catholicism and Islam, are controlled by the Jesuits of Rome, to help push the world into their One World Government.
I hope that helps.

Have this gentleman review this video on youtube. Walter “Veith tape216,” It will cange anyone that sees it. It completely the connection between the vatican and islam! The vatican developed islam to help destroy the Christians that were growing around the Mediterranean . humbly…allan
Hello David
I watch “Shepherds Chapel” on the Bible channel that’s on 24/7. I learn alot from them explaining the Bible. They do sound similar to what I’ve been reading on your site, although I haven’t read everything here. I was just curious if you are familiar with them and your thoughts.
Thanks
Hello Dave! Sorry, I am not familiar with “Shepherds Chapel”. Hopefully they are teaching the truth about the historical fulfillment of prophecy. 🙂
David. I have been searching for the truth for 30 years. I too was raised a christian, attended church faithfully for most of my life, as a Pentecostal trinity believer. I have a world history degree. Most of the ministers preach that we should only read the word of God and that should be our guidepost. However, I am greatly alarmed at that and always have been. Because I truly believe that those who do not study history and doomed to repeat it. I have been studying historical events along with the bible. And to much of how I was raised and the belief system just don’t add up. I am thankful for your sharing on this website. Thank you. I have felt for a number of years that we need to be prepared and that there just wasn’t going to be a rapture. It just did not make sense to me. I am concerned that I don’t know how to actually worship the lord. Because all the whooping and hollaring that goes on in Church wears me out. I don’t feel recharged and ready for the work week. I feel exhausted so I haven’t went faithfully in years. How do we become clothed in his righteousness and be not naked or ashamed?
Thank you for your comment Virginia. Yeah, sadly most of what we’ve been taught about prophecy is wrong.
Regarding going to church, the Spirit pulled me out about three years ago. Most churches are unknowingly the daughters of the harlot church of Rome. Take this week for instance. Easter is a pagan-based holiday, based on the fertility goddess, thus the eggs and rabbits.
The followers of Messiah should be observing Passover which was the divine appointment for Messiah to die for our sins.
We become clothed in righteousness by knowing the truth about what Scripture says, and coming out of the teachings of Babylon, which have misled most christians, and removed their power.
Here is a a study series that I wrote called The Falling Away of 2 Thessalonians 2, because today’s christians are far removed from what Scripture teaches. http://christianitybeliefs.org/the-falling-away/
We can be prepared for Messiahs’ return by knowing the context of His return, the fall Feast of Trumpets; and by knowing where we are at on the Revelation fulfillment timeline. Most christians have no clue about those things, so His coming will be like a thief in the night, it will catch them by surprise.
I encourage you to read through this website to know the truth about prophecy fulfillment, and read the Falling Away studies, which will help you return to the ancient path of Scripture, where there is power in His name.
Grace and peace to you!
David
David,
I discovered your work on the Kingdom YouTube Chanel and after reading your about section, I find our lives have been much the same. My name is Chris. I’m 35 and I live in Texas with my wife and two daughters. I was raised attending various Protestant denominations and baptized at 22 in the first Christian church. God lead me to the SDA Church and then brought me out. I currently belong to no denomination I continue to study and grow through the teachings of the bible and the unction of the Spirit. I very much enjoy your group study sessions and wish to know how I could join in. I would also request to speak to you on what the Lord has me learning about. I think you would find it a most important subject and this juncture in time. God bless you good sir for your hard work and diligent efforts to exort the body of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Sorry for the slow response Chris. I understand about being pulled out of churches, as I haven’t attended in the last few years. If you’re on Facebook, you can connect with me @ https://www.facebook.com/david.nikao and we can talk.
the Lord using the Arabian (Mohammedan) army against the Western Roman Empire from 612-762 A.D.
i can not find any reference to the above, do you have any links? thank you
Wanda, here is a study series called Islam In Bible Prophecy, which includes a study on the 5th Trumpet and the rise of Islam. http://christianitybeliefs.org/islam-in-bible-prophecy/
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for this website, it is clearly the most concise and easy to follow site concerning Revelation that I have seen thus far.
Dennis G
Thank you Dennis. That is my role, to take the detailed explanations of the great theologians of the 16th-20th centuries, and put them into concise, easy to understand studies. I’ve added more information about the fulfillment of Revelation on this website http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/
The Protesters came out of Her Physically but not Spiritually.They retained Her core doctrine of the false Trinity which states God has a Split Personality of Three others and which states that Jesus is not the Only True Son of God Himself.They spread this false doctrine all over the World thus making many Daughters for the Mother Church.When the Mother Church changed the Holy Day of God to the First day,Sunday,the Protesters followed suit.To state that the Protesters brought the word of God to Europe and to the World is a lie for they brought the word of the Mother Church to Europe and to the World.You forgot to mention what the 50 million plus people,true believers in the Son of God,who were killed by the Holy Roman Empire believed in to warrant this action by the Roman Church.Isaiah states God will stand up and shake the World,this is the sixth seal.The seventh seal is the Wrath of God which the saved are promised ,by God,that they will not endure.The Reaping comes between these two seals and when you see the Signs spoken of by Jesus in the Sun,Moon and the Stars know that the end is near……Daniel spoke that some would be strong and some would be weak.Daniel referred to these types as iron and miry clay.The Catholics are the strong/iron and the Protesters are the weak/miry clay.History has proven that they can not cleave to one another and neither will they in the end of days for the Protesters will attack and destroy the iron,these are the Ten Kings of the end time Beast.The World follows the end time Beast,includes Catholics and Protesters,for Satan Already has the World deceived by the Trinity and other false doctrines,no wonder that Our Almighty Father God Himself states ” Vainly do they Worship Me teaching for Commandments the Doctrines of Man “…Wake up before it is to late.
Yeah Aidan, sadly the Protestant Reformers didn’t come out of her enough and the Protestant Churches are now just daughters of the harlot of Rome.
Agreed on the trinity false doctrine. I cover that in this study http://christianitybeliefs.org/the-falling-away/the-holy-trinity-deception/
If I say something that is incorrect, it is not a lie; it would be ignorance.
Some of your explanations are false. Does that make you a liar?
The seals have already been opened. They led to the decline of the Roman Empire through civil war, famine and pestilence. Here’s an intro to the seal judgments http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-seven-seals-of-revelation-overview/
The iron/clay feet of the statue in Daniel 2 represent the Roman Catholic Church who have mingled with Muslims; and have used them to kill the saints and Jews; to conquer territory, and to capture Jerusalem. Here is that study http://christianitybeliefs.org/islam-in-bible-prophecy/daniel-2-iron-clay-feet/
I’m wide awake, thanks. Read my Revelation Timeline Decoded study series and you will see all that has already been fulfilled. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
btw, I am not a Protestant, not do I call myself a Christian. I am simply a follower of Messiah.
Blessings to you,
David
Hi David,
I agree completely with the above explanation but one thing that I am not sure of is the sabbath as if we look at the creations calendar the sabbath can be in a particular month always fall on Tuesdays the next month it can be always Thursdays etc,
so my question is are we supposed to follow the creation calendar or we follow the present one?
as some keep the sabbath literally every Saturday
Thank you
Hi Angela, I’ve studied the Scriptural Sabbath and have come to the conclusion that no set day on the Roman calendar, such as Saturday, can be the Sabbath.
The Scriptural calendar was given long before there was a Roman calendar. It is not designed to fit into the Roman calendar, but men have compromised and made it Saturday.
The crazy part is that during Messiah’s ministry, there was no such thing as Saturday or Sunday. The Roman week had 8 days, which were named after the first 8 letters of their alphabet. Then when the 7-day calendar was introduced later in the first century, Saturday was the first day of the Roman calendar. Sunday didn’t become the first day until the 4th century. So there simply is no way to proclaim that Saturday has always been the Sabbath.
I believe that the only calendar system that matches Scripture is the lunisolar calendar, which as you pointed out, starts on the New Moon Day; which determines what day the Sabbaths will fall that month.
The New Moon Day was last Monday, so Sabbaths are on Monday this month.
Here is my study which shows what I’ve found to be true. http://christianitybeliefs.org/the-falling-away/the-sabbath-was-changed-to-sunday/
I hope that helps, as I know there’s much confusion about the calendar.
Blessings to you for searching these things out!
David
Hi David
Thank you for your reply and for explaining the topic about the sabbath
As I am a common sense thinker this to me arises another question:
All this websites / people who promote to keep the sabbath holy actually don’t keep it themselves as they keep the wrong day holy,
and therefore the mark of the beast can’t be the Sunday worship either, the mark of the beast must be something else.
I don’t believe there is one person who follows the creation calendar which to me means all of us would have this mark, we just can’t say oh! Well I just keep a Saturday holy and that will do for me.
Thank you once again and your website has helped me to see what I couldn’t see before
Angela
Hi Angela 🙂 SDA’s proclaim that the observance of the Sabbath is the mark of the beast. But since Saturday is not the Sabbath either, that argument if rendered void.
It’s a mark that people follow the teachings of Rome, but that’s not the mark of the beast.
The mark is revering/worshiping (mark on forehead and obeying (mark on right hand, actions) the Pope.
After WW III and a worldwide financial collapse, the Popes will act as the savior of the world. They will said that they planned for these events, and they have been preparing for them.
The world will be crying out for solutions, and the Pope will offer them, if people join them in their One World Government.
Sadly, most christians who don’t know that the Popes are the Scriptural antichrist, may deem him being sent by God to provide for them. And they may revere him and obey him, to be able to buy and sell, to feed themselves and their family.
As for the true Sabbath, I’m sure that the Father loves that you keep a day set apart for Him. That is the whole point after all.
Blessings to you!
David
Thank you for that , that’s what I thought i guess when the time comes
We must go back to the basics like our forefathers no electricity no tap water etc and living from the land I am in Australia and consider myself lucky to have a backyard with vegies and fruit trees and if people who don’t want to follow that future system unite we all can survive by helping each other
Thank you once again
Yeah, they have made most people dependent on the systems around them to have food and water. So the closer we are to nature, and to how our great grandparents lived, the better off we will be. I’m in Colorado in the U.S., and wish I could find a community of like-minded people who believe in being prepared. Blessings to you!
Maybe they should be an article of how to prepare
And when to prepare what to expect that might happen etc so people are not in the dark
I strongly believe that most want to prepare but don’t know where to start and I don’t blame them
I see many websites good and legit ones that say what will happen etc but not one of how to prepare
Thsnk you once again
And God bless you too
Angela, I have a page on the End Times Deceptions website, that makes suggestions about how to prepare. The interesting thing is that most Christians don’t think that they have to prepare, as they mistakenly believe that they are going to be beamed up before the supposed 7-year tribulation period. And then there’s others who say that prepping is not trusting our Father to provide for us.
I think that we should prepare as best as we can, and depend on our Father to provide and protect us.
Here is the page. http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/prepare/
I Know That My Creator Sent His Only Son to Die For My SIN, And they only way tot Him is Threw the Son! But i just want to know the Truth! I pray for the Truth! But now i have been lead in so may direction’s i dont Know what is. I Trust In Him. But to WHO Do I pray to? Jesus, is that the Name his Father Gave Him or was it changed to mislead us? What is the Creator’s Name? And Was He what we see in Pictures? Are the True People Black? Is the Beast really The Roman Pope? And Why is the Christian Bible have all different name in it? Is the New Testament Trust worthy? Because if the people behind all this with Satan’s help Are trying to make up think of a Rapture and adding SUN GOD’s and Lord’s on Purpose, then why wouldn’t they keep the real name and color of the Creator’s Son and People a Secret! Seriously, i am so mad because i cant get a straight answer from anyone or whoever i pray to(which does not hinder my belief). I hope someone can start be REAL and Tell me what in the DEAL. Because this not good for anyone. Ether the Indians had it right this whole time because they knew of a Creator and yet are still being wiped out by this country for WHAT? Or You are Wrong, but yes we need not to worry of these deep thing’s, BUT IAM NOT! In Order to best sever my Savior and Spead the Good News, I need to KNOW THE TRUTH. DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT? The Truth Will set us Free to Know so we can begin our walk and relationship with HIM. BUT AGAIN, WHO IS HIM AND WHAT DO I CALL HIM? That is where i am today, feed up with all of it. When is the Sabbath, are we Bound by the Old Testament? OR WHAT? HELLO, why would the Creator Have Us going threw Space at such speed REVOLVING around the SUN which is Pagen or is It? To me if the Creator Loves us SOOOO MUCH that he gave his ONE AND ONLY SON to DIE FOR US, then why not make us the Center of the Unverise and the stars and planets revolve around us!! or do they? SEE what iam talking about. Maybe it is a Globe or Maybe Flat that is NOT MY POINT. Please Some Body tell me some TRUTH. Because i see the problem with the names, and with the flat earth, and The Roman Pope and the Rapture, and i see the Evil that is EVERYWHERE nothing but LIES AFTER LIES. I want Faith as Big as a mustard seed but in order to REMOVE the Mountians of LIES it starts with the TRUTH.
Wow, that’s a lot of comments and questions Toby. I’ll try to provide some answers.
Here is my study on the names of the Father and Son. I use Yahuah and Yahusha, but Iesous/Jesus seems to be the Greek rendering. http://comeoutofher.org/they-removed-the-names-of-the-father-and-the-son/
I pray to the Father in Messiah’s name, as He is our Redeemer/Intercessor.
Yes, the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the Son of Perdition and the antichrist beast http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-antichrist-sea-beast-of-revelation-13-is-the-popes-of-the-roman-catholic-church/
The Earth may be geocentric, but I do not believe that it’s flat. http://flatearthdeception.com
Here’s a Bible Prophecy Made Easy study that helps you see the big picture about the fulfillment of Daniel, Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation; most of which has already been fulfilled during the last 2,000 years. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/bible-prophecy-made-easy/
I hope that helps answer your major questions Toby.
Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David
I have to honestly say that reading this has forever changed my life.
I pray that you respond to this, because my sister and I are in a great need of help.
Earlier this year we were approached by the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG). This whole lesson that I have read on here is exactly what they had showed me.
I don’t know if you have heard of them or have went to their page to read about them, but I please ask that you give me your insight on the WMSCOG and what you think. All my life all I have wanted to do what to know the truth so I could live in the truth for God. I currently don’t go anywhere either, because one of the main reasons is exactly why you don’t. But this church that came up to my sister and I does all the festivals, Sabbath day, Passover ect.. which is all good, but have a whole study on two things that have been messing with my mind. Please if you could I just ask that you look on their website to see what you think, because I really need help.
Thank you so much for spreading the truth!
Thank you for your comment Brooke! I’ve not heard of the World Mission Society Church of God, I’ll look into them. What are the two things that have been messing with your mind? David
Thank you so much for replying!! And they believe that the second coming Christ has returned in the age of the Holy Spirit. And that since there is God the Father there is what they say proof in the Bible that there is a God the Mother as well.
If you look on their website it explains why they believe this. And honestly the reason of why they believe this does make sense, but I just don’t know what to think at the same time. Because they do follow like everything in the Bible from what I have read about them.
Brooke, what they proclaim about Messiah is wrong. This is from their website, “As for Jesus, however, He was baptized at the age of thirty and was crucified after preaching the gospel only for three years. Therefore, when Jesus comes a second time, He must be baptized at the age of thirty and preach the gospel for the remaining thirty-seven years. The One who fulfilled this prophecy is Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in the Republic of Korea, the land at the ends of the earth in the east, began His ministry in 1948, and went up to heaven in 1985.”
I don’t know who Christ Ahnsahnghong is, but I know who he is is not. He is not Messiah. Saying that Messiah has come back as Christ Ahnsahnghong to be baptized and preach for 37 more years is a ridiculous statement, which no Scriptural support.
As for their statement about God the Mother, I think that Elohim has male/female characteristics if you will, but nowhere in Scripture does it declare God the Mother.
I would steer away from this cult. They may teach some truth, but they are teaching a false Messiah.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to look and reply! They had claimed all of that because they said he fulfilled the prophecy of King David.
They say the New Jerusalem is the mother, because of what it says in the Bible with the New Jerusalem is free and she is our mother scripture (I forgot where that was). They also say that because the earthly family should reflect the Heavenly family. So since we have to have a mother in order to give us life it is the same like that in Heaven. They also refer to how in Revelation it talks about the Bride which they say is proof also.
But thank you so much for your help and guidance!
Hello David.
I want to start this off with WOW. You are certainly guided by the Holy Spirit because your studies and documentation is absolutely top notch.
Being a former Catholic, turned agnostic, to New Ager (followed the world and reaped quite enough of it), I lost myself to the world and realized one day that for all the time I have put into the Word, I was looking at it with blinders, with preconcieved notions, with cognitive dissonance. Realized how lukewarm I really was and decided, I would rather know the Lord and be wrong than ignore it, because in either case its a bad ending.
I turned to validating scriptures against history and my world changed dramatically. The shear amount of information recorded showed me not only the evidence to change my disbelief, but also opened my eyes WIDE to the corruption and deception of the Roman pagan system. But anyway, long story short I was led here and honestly have to say you’re right, looking at the Bible as a futurist makes no sense because I’ve always asked myself, “Why hasn’t Yahweh spoken to us for over a millennia”
Which leads me down this other path that I would like your point of view to help reconsile. History tells us the corruption of Greek Philosophy corrupted the Early church which, from what I’m seeing, resulted in the adoption of specific concepts that became the foundation for the corrupted church, and after adoption of various pagan beliefs and practices, ultimately became the catholic system.
The trinity. The trinity is not explicitly spoken of in the bible. The concept of the Logos was coined by Philo
Philo used philosophical allegory to harmonize Jewish scripture, mainly the Torah, with Greek philosophy. His method followed the practices of both Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for some Christian Church Fathers, but he had very little reception history within the Rabbinic Judaism. He adopted allegorical instead of literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible.
Tertullian expanded on the concept of the logos and coined the term trinity. This eventually split the church into nicenes and arians.
Using root cause analysis, I am compelled to search for the truth by tracing everything back to the source. If the Trinity concept and term was developed through greek philosophy, then it is inherently false because greek philosophy is an abstraction, a constant battle of what-if’s against which there is little to no fact.
The mere concept of a 3 in and 1 in 3 godhead itself is blasphemous because it contradicts itself in so many places in the Bible.
What is your point of view on this David?
Hello Kristan. Thank you for sharing your story! It’s amazing how the Father guides us to the information that we need, to see truth. As you pointed out, the historical fulfillment of most of Revelation, proves that the Bible is from the one true Elohim.
As for the trinity, I researched that about a year ago. There are many verses that proclaim the relationship of the Father and the Son, which is contrary to what we’re taught. I documented the verses on this study. http://comeoutofher.org/the-holy-trinity-deception/
Let me know what you think.
Blessings to you!
David
YOU ALL SHALL SOON SEE AND HEAR THE TRUTH AND YOUR LIES AND DECEIT WILL BE EXPOSED

FEAR GOD
Well be sure to comment on this website with the information, so that I can see how the lies and deceit are exposed.
Complete fabricated rubbish with absolutely no Prophetic understanding-total B.S. Revelation 16;;6 & 17;6 & 18;24 DEFINE THE GREAT HARLOT BABYLON as the Great City[Rev17;18] with the blood of the Prophets Saints & Jesus witnesses on it ! Jesus’s witnesses are to be killed in JERUSALEM[Rev11;8] outside of satan’s ABYSS [Rev 11;7 & Ezekiel 8] Synagogue now existing under the Dome of the Rock.The Saints Stephen [first saint] & Paul [greatest saint?] both condemned by the Sanhedrin JERUSALEM. Stephen murdered there , Paul they wanted to murder but were not permitted to as he was a Roman Citizen as well as Christian[ Messianic] Jewish so they got the Romans to take him to Rome & starved him to death. The Prophets were almost ALL tortured ,beaten & murdered in JERUSALEM especially God’s herald prophet John the Baptist & GOD’s MESSIAH SON Jesus Christ ! It sits on the Crimson Beast ISRAEL that the elect [those follow Christ will be foolish enough to follow[revere] .Is this you? Have NO DOUBT they are the Harlot & Beast. I am warning you of your misleading many & your reward will be contempt everlasting!STOP! Sadly you neither have eyes to see nor ears to hear GOD’s Prophetic Word. Pray for my Jewish family [the anti Christ nation -Matt 27;25] that they listen to the last two prophets that the remnant will be saved- pray for a large remnant ! I pray you re- study your failed scripture knowledge….Maranatha ……Israel
Please provide a verse by verse explanation of Revelation 17, which proves out your belief.
Hi David,
I am finding your article on Mystery Babylon interesting as it fills in more details for me. I just wanted to tell you that the “Mother” Church actually mistranslated keywords in the Catholic Vulgate giving us a false eternal torment doctrine that passed from the Vulgate into the King James version of the bible undetected by most. Google and read Aion-Aionios by John Wesley Hanson, Eternal Torment, Godly Love? on mercifultruth dot com, the Tentmaker site, etc. There are sites cropping up all over online trying to get the message out that the words hell, olam and aion are mistranslated in the Bible. See the Youtube videos by Total Victory of Jesus Christ because the videos are short and detailed. The bible explicitly teaches that through Jesus Christ all people will be rescued from death. (1 Corinthians 15:22-26, 1 John 2:2, 1 Timothy 4:10)
The bible explicitly teaches that God does not punish infinitely. (Micah 7:18, Lamentations 3:31-33, Isaiah 57:16-18, Isaiah 54:8, Proverbs 11:1, Psalms 145:13-14)
Google: Universal Salvation
Defining and Defending the Doctrine of Universal Salvation within Orthodoxy
Google The Eternal Torment Cult on Youtube to view a translation error.
Many have written on the eternal torment error like Fentor Farrar, I D Williamson, Gary Amirault, Robyn Parry, Gregory MacDonald, James Walter Bruggemann, the MercyUponAll site, becoming one dot org, Dr Stephen E Jones, Dr Ernest L Martin, Joseph E. Kirk and many others. Acts 3:21 mentions the restoration of all things which the ancient church fathers called apocatastasis. Much of the truth may have been lost as a result of the paganization of the Roman Church. Dr. Ernest L Martin says Simon Magus entered the Roman Church by impersonating the apostle Peter and merged it with Babylonianism creating a type of syncretism. His explanation is on the hope of israel site under “Pagan Origins Of the Catholic Church”. Also the free ebook God’s Plan For All provides a lot of information on popular misinterpretations of the scriptures as well as the keyword translation errors and this book is very easy to read. Thanks for reading and thanks for caring enough to blog to share spiritual informaton.
Hi Susan, thank you for sharing the information. I don’t believe in eternal torment or universal reconciliation. What makes the most sense is that people will stand before their Righteous Judge to be held accountable, and if their name is not written in the book of life, they will be thrown into the fiery pit to die a second death. They don’t live forever in torment, as you said, that’s Catholic Church deception.
David,
Also the word “church” isn’t from ekklesia. It’s from Circe and the description of Circe matches the description of the Harlot of Babylon in the Book of Revelation.
An interesting article called “Circe (Church) – Daughter of the Sun” by Gary Amirault is on the Tentmaker site. There are other articles on this also if you google Circe and church. Ekklesia meant “called out” ones. James I decreed they use the word “church” in the KJV rather than the word “ekklesia”.
There are a lot of translation errors in various bibles on the word ”eternity” that you can catch by comparing them to a Latin Vulgate bible. In the ancient Greek manuscripts the word used is aion in Greek. Aion means age not eternal. If the ancient manuscripts had meant to convey eternal punishment they would have use the word aidios not aion but they didn’t.
Hanson in Aion-Aionios is very exact in explaining how interpretation of a word hinges on the TIME OF USAGE. Not what people think today. He checked against the other Greek words of the time to see how how aion was used. Something the Strong’s concordance the the King James Version translators did not do.
Hope this helps!
Hi Susan, I understand what you’re saying. I use the word Ekklesia in my upcoming Revelation Timeline Decoded book.
The challenge with people who believe in Universal Salvation, is that they think that the only other option is for sinners to burn in hell forever. But that’s not true.
I disagree with the premise of Universal Salvation. It makes our Messiah’s sacrifice meaningless.
I believe that those who are not saved will stand before their Creator, be judged, and then thrown into the fire to die a second death, and then exist no more.
Sorry, David, I made a typo on one of my comments before. You can see the error in the interpretation of the word “eternity” by checking various bible passages against the Young’s Literal Translation. Not the Vulgate.
Or you could check against a Concordant Literal version or Rotherham’s bible. There are probably others as well as more and more modern bibles are becoming aware of the error. Gary Amirault explains in a short video on the Tentmaker blog called “Biblical hell is shrinking”.
God bless!
Hi David, people have lost the ancient meaning of the Lake of Fire. See the Total Victory of Jesus Christ site on it.
http://thetotalvictoryofchrist.wordpress.com/what-is-the-lake-of-fire/
David,
After struggling with my preconceived Jesuit programming about a hopeful PreTrib rapture and days of reading your verse by verse explanations, I now believe you are correct. I have 2 burning questions: How long do you think the NWO will last before God passes final judgement and ends the world? And also, what will that judgement look like? Will we be raptured at the same time that He is destroying the planet? I apologize if you’ve answered this in your book, I haven’t read it yet.
Thanks!
Ian, that’s awesome that the Spirit is showing you truth. It’s a good question about how long the NWO will last. There’s nothing in Revelation that gives a timeline, so I can’t say. Hopefully not too long. Judgment will be poured out on the harlot Roman Catholic Church, per Revelation 16:19 which points to the One World Government and that the judgment of Babylon will take place. We also see that in Revelation 17:16.
For this planet to be rebuilt, the saints would have to be away from it. There’s just not enough information in Revelation to know all of this information.
I don’t post on this website anymore, as I created websites for specific prophecies. Here’s the links:

Shepherd’s Chapel is not Christian. But, in order to ascertain whether or a group is Christian, we must first understand what makes something Christian in the first place. Throughout history, the Christian Church has gleaned from God’s word those essential doctrines that, if denied, place the person outside the camp of Christ.
The following are three of the essential doctrines declared by Scripture as being necessary. In other words, to deny any of these is to deny the heart of Christianity and be outside the camp of Christ.
The Deity of Christ
Jesus is God in flesh (John 8:58 with Exodus 3:14). See also John 1:1,14; 8:24; 10:30-33.
1 John 4:2-3: “This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”
The above verse needs to be cross-referenced with John 1:1,14 (also written by John) where he states that the Word was God and the Word became flesh.
1 John 4:2-3 is saying that if you deny that Jesus is God in flesh then you are of the spirit of Antichrist.
Salvation by Grace
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast,” (Eph. 2:8-9, NIV).
“You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace,” (Gal. 5:4).
The Resurrection of Christ
“And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith,” (1 Cor. 15:14). “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins,” (1 Cor. 15:17).
To deny the physical resurrection is to deny Jesus’ work, sacrifice, and our resurrection.
There are other doctrines such as the doctrine of the Trinity, the Virgin birth, etc., that are derivatively necessary. But these are the ones in the scripture that are declared, by the Bible, as being essential. The derivative doctrines like the Trinity are orthodox and accurate teachings from the Bible. https://carm.org/shepherds-chapel/is-shepherds-chapel-christian/
Greetings and shalom. I ‘stumbled’ across your link recently and am very intrigued. I have read several of your pieces and just finished watching some vireo. (including the 144,000 one. I really resonate with your opinions thus far.
I have a question that i couldn’t find in your links… What do you consider “Torah observant? When i teach i feel that too many people error when using the word Torah, as i feel it means instruction. They on the other hand intimate that it really means Pentateuch?
I have been led to consider that perhaps the ‘millenium — 1000 years (long period of time) has bee with us since Yeshua rose. I suppose i would be ammillenial in my eschatology (not a popular position)
I do hope this finds it’s way to your desk and that you can answer at your early convenience.
Greetings and shalom Charles. I don’t post on this website anymore, as I created the Revelation Timeline Decoded website to focus on the prophecies in the apocalyptic vision. You can find links to videos, audios, PDF summaries. You can request a free PDF copy of the Revelation Timeline Decoded Summary. Or order a copy of the printed book @ https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
Technically, the Torah is the law of the Heavenly Father which was revealed to Moses and recorded in the first five books of the scriptures. I think that it includes all of His instructions for our lives.
As for the millennium, Satan hasn’t been bound since the first century, as he has empowered the pagan emperors, antichrist beast popes and false prophet Jesuit Superior Generals, to make war with Messiah and His saints.
I think that the narrative of Revelation 19-20 is yet to be fulfilled. That said, I don’t think that it’s pointing to a literal 1,000 years, as none of the other times in Revelation have been literal.
Keep learning and growing in The Way of Messiah!

Here’s a video that I found from Chris Winger who teaches why they are a cult, and how to help them see the truth. They’ve tried to take legal action to get Chris to stop exposing them. https://youtu.be/X-L9oV13vRI
And here’s a website with testimonies from ex-members. https://www.examiningthewmscog.com
Thank you for this! I actually listened to him and he helped a lot. I was just wanting to see your opinion.
And by the way quick question. You had mentioned some people like Macarthur for example who preaches falsely. How do you know who to listen to and who to not? Like what makes Mike Winger worth listening to over for example like Macarthur? Because with the study that you have written about with the world today and how the churches are under the Antichrist (Roman Catholic) that is like pretty much every church.
Well Brooke, the best indicator that someone is misleading you about prophecy is if they’re teaching about a future 7-year tribulation period, because the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time. The 70th week of Daniel pointed to the promised Messiah who died in the middle of the 70th week as the Passover Lamb to atone for our sins. It’s not about the end times, and it’s not about a supposed one-man antichrist. http://70thweekofdaniel.com
If someone is pointing to a future one-man antichrist, they are misleading you, as the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the son of perdition and the antichrist beast. If they’re teaching that most of Revelation is fulfilled during the last 7 years, then they are misleading you, as most of it has already been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years. Here’s my website that gives more information on the fulfillment of Revelation. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
And sadly, that eliminates most people, as they’ve been misled at seminary and Bible college about those things, because the enemy has infiltrated those places.
Thank you for this advice. I will be reading those links!
I am sorry if I am asking a lot of questions, but I have another one lol.
I read on your bio (correct me if im wrong) that you currently don’t go anywhere as in a church.
What I am trying to ask is if it is best if I don’t go to a specific church either, because of all that is going on? And continue to read the Bible for myself etc..
I do not attend a church, which is sad, because I miss corporate worship and the fellowship; but I meet with people in small group format. What I will tell you is that I’ve learned more during the last 8 years of being led by the Spirit, than I did in all my years of being led by a Pastor. I can’t say what you should do, as the Spirit may lead you a different way. The challenge is that most churches are teaching many things which are contrary to Scripture. Hopefully you can meet on a regular basis with like-minded people, for Bible study and fellowship, and to serve others. 🙂
What do you mean exactly by the Spirit leading me a different way? Because I can’t find a church that is a place the Spirit would really want me to go to you know?
Like I go to Christ Fellowship right now, but from what I have been reading it seems like I shouldn’t, because then if I kept going there wouldn’t I be going against God’s teachings?
I simply mean that I can’t tell you whether to go to church or not, because the Spirit may be guiding you to go. Perhaps you have a role to play there, so it’s not my place to tell you to not go. We are commanded to come out of the teachings of the harlot church of Rome. If a church is teaching falsely, that’s problematic. Pray about it and let the Spirit convict about whether to go or not.
How would I know if my church teaches those kinds of things?
If they observe Easter and Christmas, that’s problematic. If they teach about a one-man antichrist in a future 7-year tribulation period, that’s problematic.
Oh I see I understand.
So from Revelation what are the 7 thunders? Because it said in the verse Revelation 10:3-4 that it had been sealed up. But in Rev 5:5 it says that the Root of David can open the scroll.
I am kind of lost.
Thank you for your help.
John wasn’t allowed to write down the seven thunders, so we don’t know for sure. But that’s a separate vision than Messiah opening up the Scrolls. The scrolls were opened and the seal judgments began against the pagan Roman Empire, as Satan had used it to kill millions of saints.
