The last Book of the Holy Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the revelation, fulfillment and culmination of what God’s holy prophets and apostles of the Old and New Testaments taught for the end-times of this world: the eternal reward and the glories of heaven for those made righteous by true faith in Christ, and the eternal reward of condemnation and hell for all those who rejected new birth salvation faith in Christ Jesus. It reveals the faith of Abraham as “he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Heb. 11:10), the New Jerusalem with its twelve foundations named after the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and its twelve gates named after the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. It’s a Book of great hope speaking to “the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). It’s a Book that begins by saying “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Rev. 1:3). Yet, it’s the most ignored Book by most church leaders, pastors and Bible teachers as corruption replaced truth.
That corruption was created by evil spirits working through John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), who sliced the Bible into seven dispensations. However, “The Bible holds to its unity, both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Bible always stresses the unity of the people of God. The one covenant, the covenant of grace, is the overarching structure.” (Source) And God further said “There is one body [not multiple bodies] and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling” (Eph. 4:4). [My emphasis] Darby poisoned God’s word and led many astray by hearts, minds and spirits open to receive a different gospel. Darby, giving heed to an evil spirit, created his ungodly pre-trib rapture in the mid-19th Century when ungodly cults were created, e.g. Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, Unitarian Universalism and others.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the Book that warns believers: “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” (Rev. 22:18–19). It’s likely that most believers don’t even know about this warning. But Dispensationalism has by assumptions and conjecture added to and taken away from Revelation since the late 19th Century. The majority of believers today rebel against God and His Christ as did ancient Israel at the edge of Canaan, read Num. 13, 14. And for those taken captive by false teachers’ lies, ancient Israel is our example, I Cor. 10:11.
Dispensational theology and its pre-trib rapture has already taken away from, and added to, The Revelation of Jesus Christ. And discerning believers know that to be the truth. The Book affirms what the prophets and apostles taught about the resurrection rapture “at the last day” (John 6:40, 44, 54); “at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:52); when “the seventh angel sounded” and when “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev. 11:15); for “The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matt. 13:41–43); “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31); for “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thess. 4:16); when “The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth” (Rev. 11:18). Indeed, true!
The end-times are explicitly linked from the Book of Genesis to Revelation. For example, the Euphrates River is mentioned 21 times in the Bible starting at Genesis 2:14 as one of the rivers that flowed from the Garden of Eden, and is mentioned at Rev. 9:14 when, at the 6th Trumpet Judgment, God commands to “Release the four [evil] angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind” (Rev. 9:14–15). The last mention is Rev. 16:12 when “the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” And the Euphrates River has been drying up for many years in preparation for and fulfillment of God’s end-time prophecy.
God and His Christ do not change, Mal. 3:6 and Heb. 13:8. Remember then that in ancient Israel it was the minority who actually believed God, but it was the majority who disbelieved God and rebelled. And when God pronounced judgment on Israel for rebellion, the whole house of Israel endured that judgment. Believers and unbelievers alike endured that 40 years of tribulation. But the minority, those who actually believed God, Aaron, Joshua and Caleb, and all those aged 20 and under were not offended, nor did they rebel but endured God’s 40-year judgment of death for unbelievers in the house of Israel. Post-Calvary, God reminds us that “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Cor. 10:11). An equal event is about to unfold again, Eccl. 1:9–11.
Similarly, it’s the minority of believers today who truly believe God, while it’s the majority of professing believers who disinherit the testimony of Jesus for the end-times. And as God does not change, believers and unbelievers alike will endure the 7-year tribulation just like believers and unbelievers of ancient Israel jointly endured their tribulation, see Num. 13, 14. It’s rebellion to say that God raptures believers from unbelievers before the tribulation because it opposes the testimony of Jesus Christ! And for believers to make the testimony of Jesus inapplicable, as the Dispensational pre-trib rapture demands, is to outright mock God’s immutable and unchanging character. This examples Jesus’ saying that “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Mark 7:6–7). Who has ears?
Now, shifting to the Benjamin Netanyahu / President Trump war with Iran, driven by Zionist Dispensationalist Christians; I said from the start of this war that neither Netanyahu nor Trump had any idea who or what they’re dealing with. They’re battling against millennia-old, demonic, regional spirits from hell; spirits so strong as to have required the powerful archangel Michael to clear the way for a message from God to the ancient prophet Daniel! The messenger angel said “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia [Iran] withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come” (Dan. 10:12–14). [My emphasis] Understand that, that vision given the prophet Daniel, which “refers to many days yet to come”, is now upon this world! In earthly military warring terms Iran will not be defeated. God defeats Iran. Here’s why.
There’s coming the very massive end-time Middle East war of Gog and Magog, Ezek. 38:1–4. Included in that war are “Persia, [modern-day Iran] Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you” (Ezek. 38:5–6). [My emphasis] Nothing good will come of this Israel/America war with Iran, only more war, death and destruction. Many nations now realize the destructive and evil intentions of Israel and will all, including the United States of America, eventually turn against Israel to fulfill biblical prophecy according to Zech. 14:2.
We now see the “distress of nations, with perplexity” Jesus spoke of at Luke 21:25. And because nations are unbelieving of Christ, none have spiritual discernment that the time of the end is now literally upon us. And Israel-First Zionists incite end-time evils by showing Israel partiality and favoritism which God strictly forbids, Acts 10:34, Rom. 2:11, James 2:9, Luke 20:21, Gal. 2:6. But Dispensational Zionists pay no attention to that as they’ve been taught by false teachers that they must show partiality and favoritism to unbelieving, Christ-rejecting Israel. However, God’s word will not be mocked. Are you prepared for the 7-year tribulation? Or have you opted for the rebellious pre-trib rapture lie, believing that you’ll miss the 7-year tribulation that Jesus clearly detailed for true believers? So, who do you actually believe: Jesus Christ or Darby, Scofield and their disciples who perverted God’s word for the praise of men and the ungodly love of money?
WARNING! In the sight of God, by His word, Jews of unbelieving Israel and Judaism are NOT Jews. This is why Jesus said of them “I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9). The true Jews of God are born again believers of Jesus Christ as so clearly revealed by the Holy Spirit at Rom. 2:28–29. And for professing believers to find solidarity and unity with Jews of Judaism, he or she finds solidarity and unity with the spiritually dead branches that God cut off from the Vine of Christ Jesus! Rom. 11:22.
Do not be participant with them lest you be numbered with them! It’s spiritually evil for any church leader, pastor or Bible teacher to lead people in solidarity and unity with those who Jesus twice called “a synagogue of Satan”. Again saying “Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you” (Rev. 3:9). Israel with its unbelieving Jews of Judaism “are a synagogue of Satan” as Jesus said. With that undeniable truth being revealed by God’s word, with whom do you find solidarity and unity? Choose wisely. God’s Spirit said “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph. 5:11).
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
