The present United Nations could be allegorized as a weak sago worm, that later in the very near future metamorphoses into a sago palm weevil, the future “Scarlet Beast.”The possibility of Christ‘s return during the rulership of the United Nations is recognizable “as its twigs get tender and it leaves come out”; nonetheless its signs must be correctly interpreted as according to all Laws, Prophecies and Lyrics (Luke 24: 44). St. Paul said in 1 Thessalonian 5: 1-3, “Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. But then he continued his presaging description with surprising clues; “3 while people are saying ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” St. Paul prophesied unknowingly the meaning of the phrase “Peace and Safety, “but its message somehow says, as if the inhabitants of the earth are asserting the same agreed principle of life on earth. Interpretation through observation of that presaging phrase “peace and safety” reveals surprising secret behind the purpose of the present world governing body. Paul‘s phrase “Peace and safety” is the exact resemblance with the principle establishment of the United Nations i.e. “to maintain international peace and security" prescribed by the 1st Article, Chapter 1 of the United Nations Charter.”[1] We are already in the 69th year (2014 CE) since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945 CE. The United Nations was established based on the Principle “peace and security.”The purpose of the creation of this beast is to maintain “peace and security" for the whole world.

In contrast, the
Prince of Peace offers us the ultimate peace that the world cannot give. He
reconciles us to, the Creator, the Spirit of God. There shall be peace on earth
when peoples on earth truly experience peace with God, peace with each another,
and peace within us. We are unable to become true peacemakers unless we have experienced
those threefold peace. Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
will be called sons of God” (Matthew 5: 9). Alas, how could we find peace on
earth when leaders reign in unrighteousness, and rulers rule with injustices? “The
fruit of righteousness is peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness
and confidence forever” Isaiah 32: 17.
The Word became
flesh in order to fulfill Luke 24: 44 and those who believe in him would be
reconciled to the Spirit of God, so that they become the recipients of the
ultimate blessing of the Lord i.e. the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Since the
time of Noah, the hearts of the rulers on earth continuously become the
battlefields between Good and Evil. King Solomon likened the king's heart as a
flow of a river in the Hand of God (Proverb 21: 1), and yet it is easily fallen
into the unseen hand of the Serpent as well. During the eschatological era
rhymed as a time, times, and half a time, the Serpent’s deceptions in ensnaring
the hearts of the inhabitants of the world would be running into full measure.
St. John the apocalypse wrote in Revelation 12 that “the Serpent spewed out
water ‘like a river’ aimed at overtaking the woman and sweeping her away with
the torrent.”
The “spewed out
water like a river” allegorizes subtle-antiChrist deceptions aimed at overtaking
the hearts of the saints or prophetically called the Woman (not to be mistaken
with the woman in Revelation 17), so that they would give up believing in God.
The “like a river” begins in the realms of the spirits. The hosts of the devil
would choreograph the unrighteous leaders manifesting their diabolic agendas.
The widowed woman propagates biblical deceptions as well, so that the modern
secular Israel created by the beasts would be supported by Christendom. Zionism
is the core politics of the widowed woman aka Mother of prostitutes. The river
from the Serpent's mouth was specifically aimed at influencing both the Hebraic
Christians and the offspring (non Hebraic Christians), so that they may embrace
the biblical Land Grant as if ordained by God for Zionism. The Hebraic
Christians knew this deception, and therefore the Dragon was enraged at them
and also at the offspring. The woman (referring to the Christians house of Jacob
in Revelation 12) knew that the ultimate blessing of the Lord is not the
literal Land grant, but the Spirit of God Himself i.e. the promised outpouring
of the Holy Spirit among all believers either the house of Jacob or the
offspring (converted heathens/other nations).
The “earth”
in Revelation 12: 15 symbolize divine intervention which helped the followers
of Christ to discern antiChrist deception and divine intervention as depicted by
the phrases “by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the Serpent had
spewed out of his mouth.” This divine intervention called the “earth” would be
continuously interposed as creative divine arbitration throughout the Church's
age. However, Revelation 12 disclosed the latter part of it. The adversary‘s
subtlest-scriptural apologetic had enchanted the Christendom especially those
who have superficially embraced the Word; the half true Scriptural-weaved
propaganda aimed to turn the tide of political support in favour of the widowed
woman who rides the present beasts and the future Beasts.
We know that the
ancient theocratic Israel (the deserted woman) was born right from the Lord‘s
Pass Over in Egypt. As long as she was obedience to the marriage Covenant
(...the 'way' of expiation as according to Torah) then she could remain as the wife of YHVH in the
Promised Land. Because of their rebellions against Yahweh, either the kingdom
of priests, or the monarchy kingdoms had had become the things of the past. The
holy land vomited them out into Diaspora. They had abandoned the way to be
reconciled to YHVH, and Prophet Ezekiel allegorized the widowhood of Judah and
Samaria by insinuation, calling them Oholibah and Oholibamah respectively (see Ezekiel 16 & 23).
Though the New
Covenant woman (Hebraic Christians) had wisely disclosed the subtle
orchestration of the Dragon concerning the created secular nation for the
widowed woman, Christendom had been divided into three different groups
depending on their paradigms. The first group is those who are deceived, and
thus support the cause of Israel (which was created by the beasts in 1948 CE),
and the second group is those who correctly interpret biblical prophecies
concerning the true restoration of Israel, and therefore shedding off the
deceptions of the beasts. The third group represents either the uninformed
Christians or perhaps simply occupied by their own chores of life. The
discerning group is, in fact, not mystified by the Mystery Babylon the Great,
the Mother of Prostitutes and abominations of the earth in Revelation 17: 5.
The New Covenant woman cannot be the woman who rides the Scarlet Beast because
the New Covenant woman is always married to, King Jesus Christ, her bridegroom.
Jesus’ perfect Pass Over guarantees the blamelessness of the Church, and
therefore she is always to be the delight of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There
are only two women in the Scripture i.e. the ex-wife of King Yahweh, and the
forever-married woman betrothed to King Jesus Christ. The Mother Harlot who
rides the Scarlet Beast is, indeed, the ex-wife of Yahweh. Forsaken by King
Yahweh, this widowed woman had been ruled by the gentile kings, and they have
been thriving to ride every beast on earth through Zionism. Her last husband
would be the prophesied the Scarlet Beast in Revelation 17. Personally, I‘m not
against the creation of the modern secular nation of Israel because it was already
sanctioned by the United Nations. However, as far as Scriptural prophecies are
concerned, this created secular nation is not the genuine restoration of the
House of Jacob. And yet, there will be 12,000-Hebraic Christians from each
tribe of Israel prophesied to be the 144,000 elect House of Jacob. He had
twelve Apostles when he was on earth and when he returns he would have 144,000 “who
follow him wherever he goes” (Revelation 14: 4).
True restoration
would only come true during the Messianic Judgment era, the Father ushers us
into the unknown 1,000 years of Christ. Then I heard the number of those who
were sealed: 144,000 from all tribes of Israel (Revelation 7: 4-5). Those
non-elect Hebraic people (those who rejected Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God)
were those whom restored by the shadow of the Scarlet Beast (the United
Nations). They would end up riding their last husband i.e. the Scarlet Beast
centered in the city of Jerusalem. Indeed, the Spirit of God had revealed unto
us of the things to come in the future. They were written in metaphors and
allegories. “...Who foretold this long
ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the God? And there is
no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me”
(Isaiah 45: 21). “I make known the end from the beginning, from the ancient
times, what is still to come" (Isaiah 46: 10).
Two different women (Covenant
Peoples) in the Bible: the Old Covenant woman and the New Covenant woman
In the whole
bible, the Covenant people of God are prophetically called as a woman; her
bridegroom was once King Yahweh in the Old Covenant, and then King Jesus Christ
in the New Covenant. So, there would be only two covenant people of God or
prophetically called two women in the Scripture. The former was the widowed
woman because they had broken the Covenant, and abandoning the way of atonement
(or simply rejecting the Lord‘s Pass Over observation). By rejecting the Lord‘s
Pass Over observation, the Old Covenant woman was deserted by YHVH, and thus
becoming a degraded woman or a prostitute (Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 23).
Allegorically, faithfulness in observing the way (the rites of expiation)
simply means remaining betrothed to God. By observing the Mosaic Laws as if
like “the mark on the right hand and on the forehead” would save her marriage.
Through disobedience they became a prostitute.
Any
member of the Old Covenant woman who believed in the redemption of Christ would
be encompassed within the new-covenant-marriage; a woman depicted as “clothed
with the sun with moon under her feet and twelve stars above her head”
(Revelation 12: 1). Symbolically, the cryptic depiction means “the house of
Jacob” (Genesis 37:9), and spiritually it means betrothed to Jesus Christ
(Isaiah 62: 3-4). The house of Jacob was called as a woman while the
rest of the heathen nations on earth were symbolically called as the beasts on
earth.
Later, the Old
Covenant woman whom Ezekiel allegorized as sister-prostitutes namely Oholibah and Oholibamah aggravated into further callousness; contemptuously
refusing the prophesied redemption through the Cross of Jesus. In the end times’
era, she would end up as the Mother of all prostitutes who was riding on the
Scarlet Beast. She was called the “mother” of all prostitutes due to the
continuous tumultuous enslavement by various heathen rulers since their
earliest era of Diaspora. Those foreign dominions over them were the
manifestation of divine punishments upon them according to the dictation of
divine punishments in Leviticus 26. She (the Old Covenant‘s house of Jacob)
disobeyed YHVH, and thus became a prostitute. And yet since she was once
betrothed to him, her prostitution would not change her status as a “woman”; to
the rest of the nations, YHVH figuratively called them as the beasts. A widowed
woman with her genius political maneuvers, they seek rapprochements among the
beasts of the earth. She rejected Jesus as God's perfect Pass over, and the
prophecy reveals that she would end up “marrying” the Scarlet Beast (Revelation
17: 5). The believing Hebrews who accepted Jesus as the perfect heaven Lamb‘s
Sacrifice would be called the woman of the New Covenant. The evangelized
heathens in the book of Revelation called as Offspring or children as written
in Revelation 12: 17.
The dream of Joseph in Genesis
37: 9 and the Vision of St. John Revelation 12: 1
In
the earliest era of the Church (the followers of Christ were Hebrews), she was
identified with the symbol of the Old Covenant house of Jacob because it meant
the Spirit of God of the Old Covenant Hebraic people was exactly the same with
the Spirit of God of the New Covenant Hebraic people. Since she is betrothed
with the same Spirit of God, thus the symbol must be retained in order to
reveal that it was from the same Spirit of God who fulfilled both Missions: the
Old Covenant‘s mission and the New Covenant‘s mission. If the prophetic symbol
(see Revelation 12: 1;Ezekiel 48; Genesis 35 and Genesis 37: 9) for both
Covenant peoples is not the same then the Spirit of God of the Old Covenant and
the New Covenant would have been different. Isn‘t? There were only eleven “bowing
down” stars in Joseph‘s dream because the twelfth star was the object of
reverence; the twelfth referred to “the dreamer” himself (Genesis 37: 9). The
New Covenant woman had been prophesied in Isaiah 54: 9b-10, which says, “I have
sworn that I will not be angry with you and will not rebuke you. 10 for the
mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not
depart from you, and my Covenant of Peace shall not be removed, says the LORD,
who has compassion on you.” But why then in Revelation 3: 19, it is written
that those whom God loves would be rebuked and disciplined? Rebukes and
disciplines are meant for those who do not repent earnestly.
The prostitute woman (the
ex-wife of Yahweh) and the married woman (The wife of Jesus Christ)
Since all of us are sinning then all of us have experienced the disciplining of the Lord. The Church was prophesied by Prophet Isaiah as a woman who is “...neither be forsaken, nor be desolated, but to be the delight of the Lord and forever married to God” Isaiah 62: 3-4. Therefore, the Church is also called as a woman because she is betrothed to Jesus Christ while the rest of the nations symbolically remained to be called as the beasts on earth.
Since all of us are sinning then all of us have experienced the disciplining of the Lord. The Church was prophesied by Prophet Isaiah as a woman who is “...neither be forsaken, nor be desolated, but to be the delight of the Lord and forever married to God” Isaiah 62: 3-4. Therefore, the Church is also called as a woman because she is betrothed to Jesus Christ while the rest of the nations symbolically remained to be called as the beasts on earth.
The offspring of
the New Covenant woman who abandons the Covenant is not termed as a prostituteprostitute, but merely an apostate; and they would end up obeying the laws made by the
Beast during a time, times and half a time. They won‘t be warring (against)
against the Laws of the beast. The Hebraic peoples who rejected the Christ of
Christianity would become the sole race on earth riding the Scarlet Beast.
Either the apostates or the faithful of the New Covenant people wouldn‘t be
riding on the Scarlet Beast, but they would be forced to obey (worshipping) the
Laws made by the rulers (beasts).
The
woman who rides the Scarlet Beast is specifically referring to the Old Covenant
people (Judaism) in the end times. Prophet Ezekiel was commanded by Yahweh to
prophesy the architectural descriptions of the Temple in Ezekiel 43: 10-12, so
that they (the Old Covenant worshipers) may be ashamed of their sins. These
prophetic descriptions of the Temple (Ezekiel Chapters 40-42) would remind them
of their current predisposition; “unreconciled” to the Spirit of God. She
became the widowed-covenant peoples who ended up thriving for tumultuous
political relationships with the rulers of the earth. The Diasporas were due to
their stiff-necked rebellions against YHVH, and their rejection of both the “way”
and the “Way” of atonement. The term “prostitute” is merely an allegory
referring to the Old Covenant people who abandoned the Covenant, and it does
not literally definable in relation to the decency of the people. The
apocalyptic language in Revelation 17: 5, “mother of all prostitute” merely
unfolds the widowhood and her political subtle prowess denoted by “the act of
riding the beast.” Her figurative harlotry does not necessarily to be
associated with moral ascription. It simply says that if you (Hebrew peoples)
abandoned the “redemption/Redemption” then you were automatically among that “harlot.”
That prostitute during the period of a time, times, and half a time would be
riding the Scarlet Beast.
The woman and the dragon during
the prophesied apocalyptic Chastisement period called a time, times and half a
time
The Chastisement
of the New Covenant woman would begin in Matthew 24: 29, soon after it is
pronounced by the Court of heaven, and spoken through his true mouths on earth.
Both the “deserted” Old Covenant woman and the New Covenant woman would enter
the same eschatological distress called a time, times and half a time.
However, only the widow would continue riding the beasts on earth. This
eschatological rhyme is related to the place prepared for her in the “desert”
(Revelation 12: 14). This end time‘s “desert” is merely a metaphor which
suggests judgment era. The desert in Revelation 12: 14 are the same with the
desert (a time, times and half a time) in Revelation 17: 3. The rephrased
version of Revelation 17: 3 is somehow like “the angel carried St. John far away
into the future, in the Spirit into the rhymed period; a time, times, and half
a time, and it takes place in a desert” which means the woman (the ex-wife of
Yahweh) was riding the Scarlet Beast during that rhymed-chastisement‘s era.
The
period of 1,260 days in Revelation 12: 6 is not applicable in interpreting the
meaning of the eschatological chastisement period a time, times and half a time
in Revelation 12: 14. What is the difference between 1,260 days in Revelation
12: 6 and the phrases, a time, times and half a time in Revelation 12: 14?
Many apocalyptists interpret the phrases, a time, times and half a time as equivalent to 1,260 days. Though the phrase “half a time” is interpreted as 1,260 days, this interpretation is not derived from verse 6 of Revelation 12. Verse 6 and verse 14 unfold different messages. The term “desert” in both verses symbolizes the place of refuge during the persecution of the covenant people. However, the desert in verse 6 was related to the persecution during the destruction of the Temple‘s era in 70 CE. The desert became their sole place of refuge where they could escape from the fury of Roman-General Titus. Obviously, the woman must flee into the desert (wilderness) in order to escape from the abomination of desolation. Revelation 12: 6 says, “The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days (Revelation 12: 6). The desert itself did not totally guarantee her safety since it is written that “she might be taken care of for 1,260 days,” but her act of fleeing into the desert would be necessary in escaping the abomination that causes desolation. The earliest Hebrew Christians were advised by the divine Spirit to stay out of the Promised Land especially in the city of Jerusalem, lest they might be wiped out together with the Old Covenant worshippers of Yahweh. They had to flee into the wildernesses even among the heathens until the Roman wrath had subsided.
“Desert”
The desert in
verse 14 specifically refers to the end times’ persecution because it is
identified with the eschatological rhymed phrases a time, times, and half a
time. In contrast, verse 6 specifically marked by the numerical period of 1,260
days-persecution. Verse 6 serves to be the marker of bird‘s-eye-view of what
the Church had to go through in her earliest persecuted era as the brief “backdrop”
of Revelation 12. Verse 14 depicts the persecution of the woman in the
end of times, as if likened by that “backdrop;” the earliest persecution
demanded the act of fleeing in order to have divine refuge in the wilderness.
But the latter persecution in verse 14 suggests that it is inescapable
(no where to go), and the woman ought to depend solely on Divine interventions.
She needs to receive “what is given to her;” the woman was given the "treasure" prophesied in Isaiah 33: 6. By that treasure, she was endowed divine protection from the beasts. Revelation 12: 14, says “the woman
was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place
prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time,
times and half a time.” The woman was not demanded to flee into the desert by
her own initiative, but she is endowed with “what is given” to her i.e. the two
wings of a great eagle. In Daniel 12: 1, it is prophesied that during the end
times’ distress, Archangel Michael (a great eagle) would arise to give
protection to the saints (New Covenant people woman) see Exodus 19: 4 and
Exodus 23: 20-21.
Therefore,
we know that the rulership of the Scarlet Beast would begin to be manifested
(...which is prophesied as yet will come in Revelation 17: 8) right from the
early period of the prophesied a time, times and half a time or right after
Matthew 24: 29. However, its (Scarlet Beast) official ruler-ship would be
clearly manifested after World War III. In fact, that final world ruler was
prophesied by St. John as “he once was, now is not, and yet will come”
(Revelation 17: 8). The Old Covenant woman was persecuting the Church since the
earliest era of the Apostles, and later in the end times she would be
politically riding the Scarlet Beast. The Scarlet Beast and the ten kings will
later hate the manipulative “mother of all prostitutes.” God would work through
the hearts of the leaders (the 10 kings) of the Scarlet beast in order to
accomplish God‘s promises (Revelation 17: 15-17). The Scarlet Beast would bring
Jerusalem (woman on the beast) to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her
flesh and burn her with fire. It seems that there would be changes which take
place within “the hearts” of leaders of the Scarlet Beast in the latter period
of her rulership; the secular nation of Israel would end up against the ten
rulers of the Scarlet Beast. This aggressive confrontation would bring forth
ruins of the great city of Jerusalem. “God figuratively called this great city
as Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified (Revelation 9: 8).”
“like a river”
During the
apocalyptic Chastisement period (Matthew 24: 29, Daniel 7: 25), the New
Covenant woman, —whom Prophet Isaiah prophesied as Beuleh and Hepzibah would be sealed by the
angels as the elect. She would be pursued by the spewed out water “like a
river.” It is written in Isaiah 48: 18 that “peace” is “like a river.” God endows
this true peace unto His covenant people. Jesus came in the flesh and said “I
am … the life.” Since then the Serpent had heard it thousands of times, and he
deceived the whole world under his spells by orchestrating wars, spewing out
antichrist-ideologies, and plotting diabolic-economic-conquest. Even in our
present materialistic-based societies, he (the Serpent) already succeeded in
contriving the worldwide-masterpiece-laws of money as the bubbling source of
life, thrusting Jesus’ word “I am…the life” into irrelevancy. So, our
materialistic-based societies began to reason out that the redemption of Christ
is not the real giver of life. People wage wars against each another because of
the lustful desire of money. The spewed out water “like a river” out of the
Serpent‘s mouth means the “false peace or peace and security” propagated and instituted by the
diabolic undisputed-world rulers as the Serpent‘s emissaries. Briefly, the “like
a river” treated God with contempt. “But the earth helped the woman by opening
its mouth and swallowing the river (Revelation 12: 15 and Numbers 16: 30)”
which refers to the divine interventions in upholding our faith in God in situ
of its object of worship.
The
devil‘s manipulation of leaders on earth as his emissaries is also metaphorically
expressed as water “like a river.” In fact, we have seen many unrighteous
rulers or “like a river” since the earliest era of the Church. But this “like a
river” in verse 15 of Revelation 12, is specifically referring to a prototype
antichrist who arises during the earliest phase of Judgment era. Certainly he
is not a king because a king is allegorized as the “river” like King
Sennacherib. So, “a river” means a king who persecutes the woman, but “like a
river” suggests the leaders who have kingly authorities ruling the roost of the
world. They would choreograph World War III in order to uphold their status as “gods
of this world,” and thus paving the way for the unrighteous kings from the
Beasts in Revelation 13 to exercise their immense authorities on earth.
King David
revealed the secret of the “like a river” rulers in the end of Church's age,
and he sang 6 “I said, 'You are "gods" ; you are all sons of the Most High.' 7 But
you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.” David
continued singing as if pleading God, “rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all
the nations are your inheritance" (Psalm 82: 6-8). King David‘s presaging lyrics
elucidated the righteous desire of justice on earth since only God alone who
judges in equity. His lyrics are imparting God‘s grandeur plan after the
Judgment era where all nations would eventually become God‘s inheritance.
David‘s lyrics are disclosing that the rulers of this present world‘s system
are the unjust “gods.‘ David knew that the exaltation of the rulers was due to
the fingers of God, and therefore their responsibilities should be carried out
as if they are “the sons of the Most High.” During the Judgment era, the
rulers‘ exaltations come from the dragon. Thus, “all the foundations of the
earth will be shaken (Psalm 82: 5).”
During the end times’ Chastisement
period, the Serpent would creatively delegate his power to a certain world
leader allegorized as “like a river.” In Isaiah 8:7, it was the Lord who caused
the mighty floodwaters of “River” (referring to the King of Assyria) to bring
judgment upon Judah. Thus, we know that water and the river means political
conquest made by a king (…in Isaiah 8: 7, “the River” specifically refers to
King Sennacherib). In Revelation 12: 13-17, the foretold distress called “a
time, times and half a time” would be marked by political scenarios where a
leader called “like a river” would be diabolically inspired by the Devil. This “like
a river” leader is not the same with the river (King Sennacherib) written in
Isaiah 8:7 because the river in Isaiah 8:7 was orchestrated by the hand of
Yahweh, whereas this end times’ “like a river” leader with kingly authority is
orchestrated by the unseen diabolic forces of the Devil.
He is
not a king, but his power is of kingly authority or simply called “like a
river.” He is going to conquer the woman depicted by the strong torrent. The
diabolic purpose of this leader, “like a river,” is to take over the influences
of the woman in every stratum of societies, and also to change the woman‘s
imprints in any bureaucracy existed among the inhabitants of the world in the
name of “Peace and Safety,” and also through the hegemony of “river of life”
i.e. fiat money. Briefly, the “like a river” tries to obliterate the work of
the woman by presenting to the world “hegemonic money” as the “river of life.”
So, it certainly brings distress to the followers of Christ. Their lives are
enslaved by hegemonic mammon, and thus leaving Jesus’ Word “I am…the life” as
powerless truth in Christianity.
The divine
intervention or identified as the “earth” would swallow the torrential water in
order to save the woman and her offspring, so that she would not end up
over-whelmed or felt worthless in holding to the testimony of Jesus (Revelation
12: 16). In the eyes of the secular political analysts, this ambitious “like a
river” leader might not be seen as the threat to the woman, but rather be seen
as the one who makes dominating decision makings in the international politics.
Thus, this leader would subtly cause the surges of domino tensions, and the
world is eventually succumbed into another world war. In the eyes of the
spiritual men, this “like a river” leader would be seen as the diabolic
emissary of the Serpent on earth.
I make known the end from the
beginning, from the ancient times, what is still to come (Isaiah 46: 10)
The League of
Nations was born after the World War I and the United Nations was established
immediately after World War II. [2] Therefore,
any establishment of governing global bureaucracy that would become the caretaker
of Peace and Safety (see 1 Thessalonians 5: 3) must be from the Abyss. The
Scarlet Beast shall come out after the World War III. And this “like a river”
leader (Revelation 12: 15) would initiate the spark for the WW III. The
prophesied World War III is orchestrated by the Serpent. World War III is the
manifestation of the word “Abyss.” In the near future, the veto-power
signatories of the present United Nations shall find the way to metamorphose
her bureaucracy in order to cope with the chaotic political conditions of the
world. She would continue to be the new-metamorphosed Custodian of “Peace and
Safety” called the Scarlet Beast. The unseen Devil would continue to be enraged
at the woman because she had survived through the World War III. The Devils’ deceptive
hostilities would be endlessly scoffing, and conquering the woman and her
offspring. The Scarlet Beast‘s elite decision makers namely the Beast out of
the Sea and the Beast out of the Earth would continue to oppress and to conquer
the woman. The Beasts would proudly reason out that he is the real giver of “peace
and safety” on earth. The inhabitants of the earth believe in his deceptions,
and they worship the beasts. The word worship here means “obeying the Laws”
made by the global governing body (The Beasts). The Prince of Peace said, “Peace
is with you.” He is offering us the Way of reconciliation to the Spirit of God.
The present beasts
on earth override Jesus’ teachings by offering the world with mortal “Peace and
Safety,” at the expense of their superguns and their enslaving monetary systems.
He enraged (Revelation 12: 17) at the woman because she faithfully shepherded
her offspring, and thus they remained observing the divine ordained “times,”
but the coming diabolic beasts (Revelation13 and Revelation17) would try to
change their “times.” Prophetic term “times” means “life.” The beasts try to
change their lives including their beliefs. (see “set times” Daniel 7: 25. The Devil knows that this woman and
her offspring would someday inherit the earth. It was foretold that the
beasts was given with the power from the dragon (Revelation 13: 7-8), so that the
beasts could oppress the woman on his behalf. The devil‘s agenda is to conquer
the woman, so that she may fail in becoming the inheritor of the earth. Jesus
said, “blessed are the meek (submissive to God), for they shall inherit the
earth” (Matthew 5: 5). King David prophesied that the righteous ones shall
inherit the earth. “Like a river‘s” failure to take over the woman through
world war III would not frustrate the Devil in orchestrating another diabolic
metamorphosis among the custodians of “Peace and Safety” of the world.
The relationship between the
beast out of the Sea, the beast out of the earth and the Scarlet Beast
The
human mission ("name")“peace and safety” on earth (1 Thessalonian 5: 1-3) offered by
the future metamorphosed United Nations (the Scarlet Beast) is irresistible for
those whose names are not written in the book of life. The elite-decision
makers of this prophesied Scarlet Beast (Revelation 17) would be from the
diabolically orchestrated Beast out of the Sea (Revelation 13: 1-10), and also
the Beast out of the Earth. Both exercise their authorities under the global
diabolic umbrella called the Scarlet Beast. The two horned Beast is the end
times diabolical superpower nation who controls the hegemony of money on earth
(Revelation 13: 11-18). He is the elite within the Scarlet Beast. The Beast out
of the Earth, “exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf,
and made the earth, and its inhabitants worship the first beast.” The 10-horned
Beast out of the Sea would become the Adversary‘s diabolical emissary on earth
who “utter proud words and blasphemous, and to exercise his authority for forty
two months ~3.449756 years (3 years and 164 days i.e.
during the “half a time” period). The beast out of the earth “exercised all the
authorities of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its
inhabitants worship the first beast” (Revelation 13: 12).
The Beast out of
the Earth is the co-top seed group together with the first Beast who comes out
of the Sea within the larger governing body of the world called the Scarlet
Beast. Thus, he ratified and enforced all the Laws which had been covenanted by
the fatally wounded beast who is one of the “many nations” cryptically depicted
as “out of the sea.” By exercising the Laws enacted (amended/legislated) by the
first beast, and her political and economic rapprochement between the first and the second beast had fulfilled the metaphor “he made the earth and its inhabitants
worship the first beast” and “to give breath to the statue of the first beast,
so that it could speak” and cause all who refused to worship the first beast
...to be killed.” The phrase “it could speak” refers to the ratification and
rapprochement made by the second beast out of the earth in favour of the revived dominance on earth. Thus, the inhabitants are directly and indirectly
subjected back to the power of the first "fatally" wounded beast.
Through his technological advancement, surely he would be the leading authority in the frontier of Science (Revelation 13: 13-14). “He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet live. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed (Revelation 13: 14 b– 15).” The USA world's dominance had revived the "wounded" British Imperialism. It also means that the Beast out of the Earth is exercising all the Laws which were formerly covenanted by the first beast through-out the colonies, mandates, and protectorates. The Second Beast was merely the rapprochement of the fatally wounded beast. Why the beast was seen by St. John as coming out from the “earth”? The word “earth” in verse 1 of Revelation 13 is related to the “earth” in verse 16…"the earth helped the woman”…in Revelation 12. The history of the “earth” that helped the widowed woman was briefly explained by Wikipedia:
“On May
14, 1948, the last British forces left Haifa, and the Jewish Agency, led by
David Ben-Gurion, declared the creation of the State of Israel, in accordance
with the 1947 UN Partition Plan. Both superpower-leaders, U.S. President Harry
S. Truman and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, immediately recognized the new
state. …On 11 May 1949, Israel was admitted as a member of the United Nations”
[3]
Throughout the history of Diaspora,
the Hebrews (widowed woman) had experienced a prolonged period of
anti-Semitism. Eventually, the creation of the secular nation of the widowed
woman in 1948 was recognized by most of the Christian nations. But the Muslim
countries, mostly the Arabic nations aggressively against the creation of the
state of that widowed woman. Since the creation of the state of the widowed
woman, the pre-metamorphosed two-horned beast out of the earth (the United
States) had allowed her to ride on her back. The pre-metamorphosed “beast out
of the earth” had placed the nation of Israel as her national commitment as if
Israel was part of her country. The prophecy had long foretold these political
relationships between the United States and the widowed-woman of YHVH. In
Revelation 12, it is understood that the “woman” refers to the Hebrew
Christians since they were the ones that evangelized the heathens, and thus
giving the offspring. Since “a woman” must be associated with a
geopolitical description; and thus, it is also referring to the widowed
woman who acquired the created secular modern nation of Israel. According
to Wikipedia, America had been the safe haven for the “woman” either the Hebrew
Judaists (Old Covenant woman) or the Hebrew Christians (New Covenant woman)
since the late 19th century:
“…the formation of modern nations in Europe was accompanied by changes in the prejudice against Jews. What had previously been mainly religious persecution now became mainly racial hatred, and acquired a new name: 'anti-Semitism.' Anti-Semites saw Jews as an alien religious, national and racial group and actively tried to prevent Jews from acquiring equal rights and citizenship. In the 19th century most Jews lived within the Russian Empire, where authorities sought to forcibly convert them by requiring 25 years military service from Jewish boys aged 12, to keep them in poverty by banning Jews from cities, universities, restricting their access to schools and to drive them out by encouraging violent mobs which would also divert popular resentment away from the Tsarist regime…millions of Jews left eastern Europe in the late 19th century, mainly for the USA, but a small percentage headed for Palestine and Jews began to consider the possibility of reestablishing themselves as an independent nation.” [4]

Therefore, the “earth”
in Revelation 12: 15 symbolized intervention which helped the widowed in the
land of Israel. Since Christianity is rooted in Hebrews religious Old
Testament, therefore, it won‘t be surprising that most Christian nations are
recognizing the existence of the modern nation of Israel. Though, it is
apparent that the woman in the delectable land was not representing the true
restoration of Israel then they conclude that either they were graced by the
hand of YHVH or vice versa, they reasoned out that their existence in the holy
land would pave the way of the awaited Messiah. Since Christianity is deeply rooted
in Hebrew Old Covenant and thus, it is predictable that those who are against
Israelites would also turn their hostilities towards Christian nations. The
Scripture says that the Israelites in Diaspora wouldn't be wiped out “if they
will confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers…when they are in the
land of their enemies, I (G-d) will not reject them or abhor them as to destroy
them completely…” (Leviticus 26: 40-45). It was recorded in history that
millions of Hebrew people were seeking safety in the country called the “earth.”
This “earth”
continent received those fleeing Jews from the world wide anti-Semitism, and
today she remains in favor of the causes of Israelites either those of her own
Jewish origin citizens or even those who had opted to return to the modern
secular nation of Israel in the former British mandate. The Serpent knew well
the Arabs’ hatred since it was already foretold in the ancient scriptural
prophecies during the era of Abraham. Being conscious of his fate, he is all
out to orchestrate all available abominations on earth in fulfilling his
devilish agendas during the rhymed a time, times, and half a time. The “earth”
nation (the United States of America) who emerged as the new superpower of the
world had already manifested her role as the pre-metamorphosed 666. The future
United States or the shadow of the final 666 (see notes about 666) appeared “like a lamb but he spoke
like a dragon”; he was likened “like a lamb” because she was, undeniably, one of the cabal-vetoed power nations within the United Nations: "peace and safety." Besides, that country adopts
friendly approaches towards foreign nations. But this friendliness might be due to her popular cultures
and ideology dished out by the globalized mass media networks. Her “monstrous
(dragon) political power” is undeniably the most powerful on earth. The US
began her hegemony of money on earth since the establishment of Bretton Wood
Agreement in 1944 together with the United Kingdom, and Canada as the
pioneering signatories.[5] Later Germany, Japan, and France joined the
rank in the shareholders of the World Bank. [6]
We are on the
brink of “Christ Second Advent”; the distress we are seeing and experiencing at
this moment, preceded the fulfillment of the prophesied a time, times, and
half a time. However, we would only see the manifestations of evil in full
measure when the divine favor is no longer guaranteed by the Mediator who seats
at the right hand of the Father. The image refers to the Laws i.e. the
beasts as the object of obedience (worship).
The words “image” and “worship”
in Revelation 13
Both the first
Beast and the Second Beast out of the Earth are adhering and enforcing the same
Principles or Charter/Covenant. The difference was that the first beast became
world superpower earlier than the beast out of the earth. And both of them are
allied forces. The beast that had had fatal wound referred to the United
Kingdom who once ruled one fourth of the earth‘s surfaces; she had the
dominions, colonies, and mandates. After World War I and World War II, she lost
most of her colonies and mandates. She regained her status as world superpower
via her position as the one of the five-permanent members of Security Council of
the United Nations. She would hold this elite position till the day of Christ‘s
Second Coming. The Scripture says “3One of the heads of the beast seemed to
have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world
was astonished and followed the beast.”
World
dominancy depends on the capability of military might, political power and
economic power. Thus, superpowers are those who have the capability to conquer
the world through military campaigns (wars), ideological (politics) conquests and
economic conquest. Both veto-power nations, the United Kingdom and the United
States seemed to be invulnerable in those three aspects of world dominance
namely military, politics and economics because they become the elite decision
makers of the world. They are “the gods of this world;” the inhabitants of the
world say “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"
(Revelation 13: 4). Through the agreed principles or Charter they dominate the
international politics (see the metaphor revelation in Revelation 13: 12).
Briefly, the rapprochement of the beast out of the Earth with the laws (principles)
established by the first Beast out of the Sea. The special authority of the
Beast out of the earth enables her to exercise all authorities of the Beast out
of the Sea is metaphorically revealed as “giving breath to the image of the
first beast” (Revelation 13: 15a). The strict observance of the covenant is
written in apocalyptic word as if “to worship” the image (the image is the
Laws/Principles).
The interpretation
of “worship” is simply derived from the Old Covenant worship where the Lawmaker
was YHVH, and He was imaged by the Laws or Torah. Thus, the observance of
Mosaic laws was the act of worshipping YHVH. In the Old Covenant, the 10
Commandments was the image of Yahweh. Therefore, when the makers of the laws
are the diabolic beasts then the object of worship must be the diabolic beasts.
One of the wondrous things of Laws was seeing the image of YHVH‘s heart through
the Laws. King David sang, “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things of the
law" (Psalm 119: 18). In the same way, we could pray that may we see the
diabolical things of the beasts’ laws. The diabolic laws of the beast are the
very image of the hearts of the lawmakers of the diabolic Beasts.
Those two Beasts,
in fact, would be the elite members of the Scarlet Beast. In Revelation 11: 3-8,
the Scarlet Beast will kill the end time‘s two prophets soon after they've
finished prophesying for 1,260 days. It is prophesied that “...the beast
(Scarlet Beast) that comes up from the Abyss (WW III) will attack them (two
prophets), and overpower and kill them (Revelation 11: 7).” These foretold
killings reveal unto us that the Beast out of the Sea and the Beast out of the
Earth, in fact, co-established the elite decision makers within the Scarlet
Beast's governance. Briefly, the Beast out of the Sea and the Beast out of the
Earth are the top seed group of the Scarlet Beasts.
Together
they become the global Custodians of “Peace and Safety.” They would wage war
against the saints and defeating them during the eschatological a time, times,
and half a time (Daniel 7: 21; Revelation 13: 5 ~ half a time). Waging wars is
not necessarily defined as literal wars, but it is interpreted as the
Adversary‘s deceptions against the teachings of Christ on earth manifested by
the enactment of the duplicitous torah-like laws of the beasts. Any stand
against the rapprochement with the “gods of this world aka creators of money”
would be economically sanctioned or else be confronted with “suppression of
any act of aggression”; frequently dominated by the elite decision makers
through bellicose rhetoric. Through the distress of wars, the saints would be
powerless in invoking “true peace” from above; they would give in to the authority
of the beasts for people would say “who is like the beast? Who can make war
against him? Thus, they end up conquered by the beasts.
One of the heads
(a super power nation or a kingdom) of the Beast seemed had a fatal wound, but
the fatal wound had been healed (Revelation 13: 3). The recuperative power from
the fatal wound could be understood as “the lost of world dominancy in world
politics” due to her loses of colonies, dominions or mandates. But her
authority in world politics was restored through political maneuvers; placing
her to be the leading elite of the global governing bodies. Her elite role in
world politics would convince the whole world that she is the undeniably the
adorable god (ruler) of this secular world. The diabolic Scarlet Beast
and her consorting beasts define the saints’ belief as merely shackling the secular
progress, and also against the popular relativism ideologies of the world.
Therefore, the fire of the saints must be put off. The lawless one who rules
the world through the Scarlet Beast would then “speak against the Most High and
oppress his saints, and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints
will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time (Daniel 7:
25). These phrases are representing the period of eschatological Chastisement.
Daniel
12: 7 says that, “it will be a time, times, and half a times. When the power of
the holy people has been finally broken…” This half a time period i.e. 1,260
days is the same time frame prophesied in Revelation 11: 3. This “half a time”
also exactly points to the same period of distress of the saints in Revelation
13: 5-7 which says, “…the beasts exercise his authority for forty two months (1,260)
days….he was given power (diabolical power) to make war against the saints and
conquer them.” The diabolic agendas aim at warring against the saints. Such
wars are originated from spirit realms (Serpent), and when manifested on earth,
they were seen as tangible realities which would be totally against the
Scriptural teachings. It is prophesied that the saints (New Covenant‘s woman)
are called for patient endurance and faithfulness as they go through the
eschatological a time, times and half a time; numerically translated
into 7 years (6.89953 years), 49 years (48.508546
years), 3.5 years (3.4497656 years). The agenda of the Beast
out of the Sea is to conquer the saints. The Beast out of the earth would
continue in oppressing just as what the first beast had done to the saints. The
saints would experience great distress because the whole world would be
enslaved through forced monetary system under the authority of the beast that
comes out of the earth. The diabolic leader of the Beast out of the Earth would
control the whole transactions of buying and selling through enforcement of
monetary laws. “He forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark on his right hand and on his forehead, so that no one
could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the
number of his name" (Revelation 13: 16).
