PREFACE WHY THIS BOOK?

The Little Book is a forty-year journey of listening, studying and speaking that resulted in the last five years of writing, researching and rewriting. It gives Biblical insight into the future and how things will unfold in the next few years before Jesus will return to set up His kingdom. The Little Book is a scriptural alternative to the many theories.

As for me, I love life. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and genuine people. My possessions are few; I own a secondhand car, some woodworking tools, basic clothing and a laptop. Yet I feel like a blessed and rich man.

Due to God‟s amazing help and guidance, the support of my family and friends, I was able to assist in establishing educational centres for the poor in Asia and to bring basic education and vocational training to children plus adults, who receive no schooling . . and . . I love the challenge.

Jesus‟ last prayer was “that they all may be one, . . that the world may believe that you have sent me.” 1 However due to the fact that there are many religions and sects, in Christianity alone there are an estimated 8000 denominations, I have decided not to mention the names of my teachers or denominations, as the purpose of “The Little Book” is to singlemindedly focus on God‟s Word without any prejudice.

1. John 17:21-23 “And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I (Jesus) in them, and you Father in me,” (John 17:22)

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in It is definitely not my intention to be a doom and gloom, calamity howler and I wish more than anything to be in the wrong concerning these difficult times ahead.

Nonetheless, taking all things into account I felt concerned that you should at least be informed, in case the future does unfold as predicted in the scriptures. „The Little Book‟ is a study guide as well as a teaching manual.

For any questions or further enquiries please contact me at:

johan.peters@live.in “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” 1 It is saying that, first of all we need to know that we

cannot change the scripture to fit our private theory, doctrine or interpretation. What is written is written and that is what we should go by. Although the explanations in here are simple they do require your focused attention.

Paul wrote: “Anyone who lives on milk is unskillful in the word: for he is an infant. But solid meat is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” 2

Seeing the material in here might be a lot to take in at once and would not be considered the milk of the word, but more like solid food or meat, I suggest that you study two or three pages daily. This gives you, as reader, time to absorb and meditate on the subject, in order to be strengthened for the days ahead, able to discern between truth and lies.

REFERENCES: The references are at the bottom of the page, i.e.: Daniel 9:24,27 refers to the book of the prophet Daniel, chapter 9 verse 24 and 27.

The Chronological Order of Future Events

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in

Religious Nonsense . . . or Future Events?

“John bare record of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.” 1 “The dragon was enraged at . . those who obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” 2

What exactly is the testimony of Jesus?

“The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.” 3 Prophecy is insight into the future.

Having the ‘testimony of Jesus’ by knowing our future gives us faith and strength to hold on.

“He that reads let him understand.” 4 “Know therefore and understand:” 5 “He that hears the Word and understands it not is like the seed that falls by the ways side.” 6 The angel Gabriel told Daniel, “I am come to give you skill and understanding.” 7 “They that understand among the people shall instruct many.” 8 The book of Proverbs uses understand 67 times.

The book of Daniel uses understand 23 times.

Dictionary understand: be aware of, appreciate comprehend, value.

Who does not face what might happen, sticks his head in the sand and becomes “willingly ignorant”. 9

Please dig a Bible out of your attic, or buy one.

Study it and find out the truth for yourself.** 8

A Test of Hearts and Character This is not another motivational lecture, nor a conspiracy theory.

It is a short, in depth Bible study.

Study it as you would for an exam.

An exam, that before long, will test the heart of everyone of us 1 living on this earth.

We will learn how the world events will soon evolve into the final climax of the Lord’s return. 2 No other time period in all of history has been given more importance and specific coverage* in the Bible than the short time frame prior to Jesus’ return. There are hundreds of predictions concerning this short episode, so that we are without excuse.

However because of the confusion 3 and the controversy that“study has been around the Lord’s return, tocreated show yourself approved untomany God,of. us .

BUT ISN’T IT THAT NOBODY KNOWS? Jesus said:“But as the days of Noah were so shall also the coming of the Son of man be . . . They knew not until the flood came and took them all away”. 1 The people might not have known, but Noah knew and he warned the people, but they refused to listen.

However “Noah being warned of God, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house.” 2

Noah did not just sit around thinking that God would take him up before the flood like He did with Enoch.

No, Noah rolled up his sleeves and went to work and built the ark to survive. 3 After the flood . . “the ark rested . . upon the mountains of Ararat*” 4 “and they went forth out of the ark”. 5

It is not because we are strong in character, like Noah, that we make the right decisions, but it is because we make the right decisions that we become strong in character. ** 10

• Various Indications

that show His return is approaching.

Jesus tells us point by point: A First of all: “You shall hear of wars and rumours of wars”. 1A 45 major wars and armed conflicts (2012); 2 to 3 hundred million died since WW1 .

B But, “Don’t worry; … the end is not yet.” 1B “There shall be famines” 2A 2014 WFP (World Food Program) states the death of 3.1 million children yearly.

2B “and pestilences”. (2013) The WHO reports 25 million HIV deaths since 2007. We can now add swine flu, bird flu, SARS, Ebola and Zika. “earthquakes” 2C Deadly Earthquakes (primarily above 6 on Richter) .

In 1900 - 2; in 1950 - 5; in 1975 - 15; in 2000 - 27.

“The love of many grows cold”. 3 (10/2014) A hospital worker kills 39 in 10 months, Police told reporters, “he is a cold person that killed out of anger at everything and everyone.” – Consider new computer games.

“Many will run to and fro” 4A - UNWTO reports, “2012 was the first year to see one billion tourists travel internationally.

Who or what is an Antichrist?

“He is Antichrist that denies the Father and the Son.” 1 (Son a.k.a Jesus Christ)

Nostradamus, foretold three Antichrists. He names them as “Napaulon Roy”, “Hisler”, and the last one “Ma-bus”.*

John the Revelator saw the Antichrist as “a beast rising up out of the sea having 7 heads and 10 horns”. 2 ** The sea is “peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues”. 3 “The beast. . was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion.” 4 He will rise to power fast as a leopard. “Feet of a bear” - He gets on his feet with the communist/socialist platform of the bear, representing Russia. He gains foothold with flatteries 5 during the bear market or the financial collapse. His big lion’s mouth will roar with blasphemy. 6 The prophet Daniel saw him as a horn: “in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” 7 Horns signify power. The eyes are “Big Brother is Watching.”

According to Daniel he comes from Egypt*** so he has his roots and spirituality in Egypt. Daniel also sees him as “king of the North” 8, meaning north of Israel, no doubt Russia where he rises to power. 9

Daniel tells us that: “He shall work deceitfully. . . and

become strong with ‘a small people’.” 10- also translates as -’a few people’.11 13

How to recognize the False Prophet!

How do I differentiate between a true and false prophet?

A True prophet will teach Bible scripture, take it or leave it.

A False prophet takes one scripture and spins a theory around it that his audience likes, but you end up wondering if what Jesus said still holds true.

About this False Prophet it says, “I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a devil.” 1 The two horns show he is two-faced and two-pronged: one religious and the other scientific. Horns represent power so he is a powerful speaker, smooth and convincing as a devil.

Jesus was pictured as a lamb, so he is a “Christian” or an interreligious speaker.

“he. . causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (the Antichrist)” 2 This explains that the False Prophet has made it his life’s calling to promote the Antichrist from a religious and scientific angle. He gets everyone on earth to worship the Antichrist and make an android of him. That includes you and me, unless we use our ears to hear and not swallow the sugarcoated religious and scientific lies. “he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men”. 3 He will be the Breaking News. The prophet Elijah in the Bible also called down fire from heaven. Already there are rumours among the Christians about a prophet called Elijah in Israel - Be careful who and what you believe! – John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah to announce Jesus, our Messiah. 4 This false Prophet will say that he comes in the spirit of Elijah to announce the “Ultimate Mashiach* The Millennium of Peace is Here!” Rubbish!

The Biggest Lie will be, “All the prophets were reincarnations of each other and our world leader is the final reincarnation of all the prophets and Jesus Christ.** This is the one we are waiting for, our Mashiach, our Christ! The Millennium of peace is here!!”

“Jesus answered: Watch out . . if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, `Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” 5 1. Rev. 13:11

2. Rev. 13:12

3: Rev.13:13

14

4. Mat.11:14

5. Mat. 24:26,27

Verses applying and fulfilled in Jesus, the False Prophet will use to deceive: “Out of Egypt have I called my son” - “ I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the Lord” “I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way . . who you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight . .” (Mat.2:15; Mal. 4:5; 3:1) * Maschiach is the Hebrew word for Messiah, meaning „Anointed One„ or „Chosen One‟

** Jesus did away with reincarnation, see pg. 74 on Hinduism and pg. 76 on Buddhism.

The Peace Agreement is the Pivotal Point

•

The prophet Daniel writes:

• “And he (the Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week”. 1 •

•

• • •

•

This refers to the last week of the seventy weeks prophecy from Daniel chapter 9 verses 24-27. * The original Hebrew uses the word (pronounced shabua) This translates as ‘time unit of seven’. It can be either a week meaning seven days, or seven years.

In this prophecy it fits seven years.

These are the last seven years of World History as we know it and they start with the confirming of the covenant.

We learn in the same scriptures that the prophecy ends with; “to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint of the most Holy (Jesus).” 2 In other words this is when - the corruption ends, the prophecy is completed and Jesus returns to set up God’s Kingdom.

The covenant is the start

Jesus’ return is the end

Last Seven Years 15

1. Daniel 9:27 2. Daniel 9:24 “he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many.” (Daniel 8:25) “he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.” (Daniel 11:21) “He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province.” (Daniel 11:24) “The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” (Psalm 55:21) * See pgs. 56 to 63 for complete „Seventy Weeks Prophecy‟ expla nation.

What might the covenant include?

This Peace Agreement is referred to as a Holy Covenant 1 so it will have Religious Implications.

A: a settling of Arab-Israeli issues.

B: the building of the third Jewish temple in Jerusalem,* including the reinstating of animal sacrifices. 2 C: Jerusalem becomes an international religious capital for Jews, Muslims and Christians.

D: Introduction of the Ten Political Economic Regions or Regional Groupings.

Local Agenda 21 – The U.N. 1992 – „10 Regional Groupings’

In 1972 the ‘Club of Rome’ divided the world into 10 Regions.

Daniel refers to these ten regions as the ten toes of the statue in the book of Daniel chapter two 3 or ten horns in chapter seven. 4 John the Revelator says of these ten regions: “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour (at the same time) with the beast (Antichrist)”. 5 16

Revelation 17:12 “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1Thessalonians 5:3) This sudden destruction will happen after 3½ years, as sure as labour comes after nine months of pregnancy. It will come. * See pg. 68 for eight months of temple construction before it is inaugurated.

The first two wars of the Antichrist In case you think that this is religious gibberish, look at the first two wars that the Antichrist, who is mentioned as the king of the north, will fight with the south or the Middle East, in the first 3½ years, before his image is placed in the temple. He wins the first war and shall “return into his land with great riches.” 1 Doubtless the oil and gold from these countries.

Daniel wrote around 2500 years ago concerning the second war: “he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return . .” 2

Possibly the Middle East is not sticking to the peace agreement so he comes again against the Middle East and Israel, which is south for him.

This time however the ships of Chittim come against him. Chittim is the old name for Cyprus. Since Cyprus got her independence in 1960, the U.K. has kept two S.B.A’s (Sovereign Base Areas) from which the R.A.F. (Royal Air Force) along with NATO operates. These will come against him with their ships and ‘air-ships’ to defend Israel and he loses that war.

He returns and will be furious against the peace covenant that was made earlier, as most likely Israel’s allies are interfering.

“Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favour to those who forsake the holy covenant. His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple . . and will abolish the daily sacrifice.

Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.” 3 18

1. Daniel 11:25-28 2. Daniel 11:29,30.

3. Daniel 11:30,31 (NIV) Although it says, “all the world wondered after the beast” (Revelation 13:3), he has a difficult time controlling the world, but especially the Middle East.

The Antichrist “exalts himself above all that is called God.” (2Thessalonians 2:4) “All shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb.” (Rev. 13:8,9) Accept Jesus now and your name is written in his book of Life instantly.

3½ Years, 42 Months, 1260 Days left “they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time”. 1 (In other words 3½ yrs) “the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” 2 (3½ years) “power was given him to continue forty and two months.” 3 (3½ years) “they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days.” 4 (Back then the Lunar Calendar counted 360 days as one year, so 1260 days is 3½ years.

eight times.* 3½ years is referred to seven times.

In the middle of the seven years, after 3½ years, Satan is cast out of heaven 5 and possesses the Antichrist. The Antichrist goes bonkers and breaks his own peace agreement. 6 “He has put forth his hands against those that are at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.” (Psalm 55:20)

The animal sacrifice in the temple will be stopped and instead an ‘abomination’or a robotic image of him will be set up in the temple. 7

Jesus said: “When you shall see the abomination stand in the Holy Place (temple) 8, . . Then shall be great tribulation (suffering).”.9 What is an abomination? Jesus said: “that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” 10 Technology and Science are highly esteemed 11 among us, and the greatest feat of science is to produce a hologram, a robot, or an android that is able to operate as a human being.

In Genesis we see that God spoke the creation into being, “and God said”. 1 Except for man, because “God formed man of the dust of the ground”. 2 He formed men with his hands. An artist that uses his hands has pride and love for his creation.

The Ultimate Masterpiece of Creation: Man! Take the human cell, it has a genome. The genome has a complete set of DNA, which contains around 3.2 billion DNA base pairs.

The genome is arranged into 23 pairs of chromosomes and is estimated to contain 20,000-25,000 genes, which pretty much determine our physical and hereditary make-up.

In 2012 scientist discovered that the human cell has around 4.000.000 switches connected to the organs and different parts of the body.

Thus the human cell is far more complex than London or Mumbai and we consist of 100 to 724 trillion cells, all working together.

Neuroscientist Jeff Lichtman lectured at Harvard that if we try to index our 1½ kg human brain we need several billion petabytes* of data storage. (1 petabyte = 1000 terabytes) The internet is approx 5 million terabytes. Google uses 200 terabytes of this or 0.04%. (07/2013-D.Schilling) Hence to attempt to index our brain, guesstimating we need 2½ billion petabytes, it comes to 125 million times all the Google data. (July, 2013)

God knew what He was doing. However He created us with freedom of choice to respond to His love, or reject it. As we appreciate our partner’s love, so does He. No wonder this image of the Antichrist “is an abomination in the sight of God”. 3 We will be forced to worship science and our human creation or it means death, instead of our Creator who gave us life. Scientists will tell us that the image has life and so it seems. However the False Prophet will be given spiritual powers to command demons to take over the image to manipulate the micro chips, pretending it is science, and we’ll be tricked into thinking that science has created a living being. 4

Absolutely false! No scientist can ever create a single blade of grass with procreative life as only life (God) can give life. 5 20

Scientists are entering more and more into the spiritual realm. We know that spirits and demons can operate in the physical, i.e. poltergeists, Ouija boards, etc., so they‟ll be able to manipulate the highly sensitive micro mechanisms of the image. Once the False Prophet orders the demons to enter the image, under the guise of science, it then becomes a mouthpiece for them and for Satan.

Looking at our 1½ kg human brain and if we decide to use it, then we realize that only “the fool says in his heart, there is no God.” (Psalm 53:1)

Science - UPC - 666 John continues that the Antichrist “opened his mouth in blasphemy against God. . . and as many as would not worship the image of the beast (Antichrist) should be killed.” 1 Here you see that only those that worship man’s creation are allowed in his kingdom. “he causes all to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. . That no man might buy or sell, except he that has the mark . . . . and his number is 666”. 2 On the UPC (Universal Product Code) each set of lines represents a number.

The 6 is two thin lines. (see higher dot) The three sets of elongated lines (three lower red dots) without a number, each stand for 6.

Hence the number 666 .

The mark or chip implant will be based on the same 666 numerical system - implant in right hand or forehead.

The chip will not be solely for economic reasons, but it will also mean a denying of your faith in God and instead accepting and worshipping the image of the Antichrist as your new god. We will be forced to worship Science and Technology by submitting to a talking dolly, that we have made with our own hands 3 and which can give us the death sentence if we don’t cooperate.

“YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON” 1 These words of Jesus will then be reality. The decision is: Do I take the mark and serve Mammon, or do I decide to run and serve God and trust Him to take care of me?

Once the abomination is set up it will immediately enforce the mark and it is time to “Flee into the mountains”.

Jesus said, “Don’t take anything out of your house.” RUN! “if you are in the field don’t go and pick up your clothes.” 2 2

RUN!

“For then shall be great tribulation”. 3

Escape into the wilderness.* Can we trust God to take care of us?  He took care of Moses and around 3 to 6 million people out in the desert for forty years, where there was no food and practically zero water. 4 For us it is 3½ years. 5  The raven brought Elijah food. 6  The barrel of meal and the jar of oil of the widow of Zarephath did not run dry. 7 How many was it that Jesus fed?  5000 men, besides the women and children.8 That is at least 10,000 take-away dinners, instant delivery.  The second time it was 4000 men, 9 that’s another 8000 to 10,000 lunch packets served in one sitting.

Will we give God the chance to prove Himself again?

Or will we succumb to the propaganda and lies, 10 before we put God’s word to the test?

Confused. . ?

Pre, Post, Mid-Tribulation, Any-time-now?

An estimated 85% to 95% of the Christians believe that Jesus will return before the tribulation starts.

However Jesus said, “Why is Jesus not coming?”

“Take heed: (Wake Up)

But in those days, after that tribulation . . then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” 1 If Jesus said after, then He meant after, no matter what other teachers or your Scofield Bible says. Scofield said it, not the Bible, nor Jesus!

It doesn’t matter what we believe, but what Jesus, Paul, Daniel and Revelation say, that will happen. 2 Jesus Himself prophesied concerning the servant that shall say, “My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants”, 3 and “brother shall betray brother to death.” 4 “there shall come in the last days scoffers, saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant..” 5 ‘Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing’ 6 (as Christians or Evangelists) giving good sounding theories, and not sticking to what Jesus said! “and shall deceive MANY.” 7 Is “MANY” the 85% to 95% of the Christians?

Will You and I hold True?

Besides the Bible, the Quran, the visions of Nostradamus, Jeanne Dixon, the Fatima children, there are many others who confirm that severe turbulent times are ahead. Darkness will take over the world 1 and from what they saw it seems that millions upon millions will die.

So what can we do? . . . Fear and worry 2 is our Number One enemy, because if we have faith and trust God with our life, then we know that He will watch over us like a hawk over her chicks. We might at times think that God has forgotten us, however He will be there like a coach that is giving us the final training for the Olympics, which in this case is to rule and reign with Him for the next thousand years. 3

THIS IS THE CLIMAX OF ALL HISTORY. Will Satan rule my life? Will I fear and follow the crowd or stay faithful to Jesus?

This will be the test of our hearts. 4 Will you and I choose faith, or fall for fear?

Will we love or hate, choose God or Satan?

Life or death?

It is my personal decision, my ‘Freedom of Choice’.

Hitler wrote in ‘Mein Kampf’: “It would never come into the heads of the broad masses to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. . . . They will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world. . . ” So here we have it from the expert himself, if you want to tell a lie, tell a big one and keep repeating it, as people would not think that you had the nerve to tell something so big if it was not the truth. 1 From statistics at that time it seemed like 87% of the population just gobbled up without questioning what was conveyed to them by Hitler in speeches and by presentations in the news media. Am I, or will I be, one of the 87% that will be swept along with the future propaganda of the Antichrist and False Prophet who’ll call down fire from heaven.

Concerning the False Prophet, prophetess Jeanne Dixon wrote: "The False Prophet’s domain shall be the intellectual seduction of mankind. It means a mixture of political, philosophical, and religious ideology that will throw the populations of the world into a deep crisis of faith in God... With teaching and propaganda the prophet will cause people not merely to accept the Antichrist but rather to desire him with positive enthusiasm. . . and to participate in organizing the frightful and terrifying despotism of his World Empire.”

This False Prophet is a religious liar trying to deceive the believers. 3 “Blind Pharisee! . . on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” 4 26

Hence if we REFUSE the RFID chip, that means we fear it, so we must have something to hide. Thus we have become enemies of the state that need to be eleminated.

Satan and his demons cast out of heaven. 1 The Antichrist will blaspheme God. By then many of us will be so callous and indoctrinated against God that we will slurp up his blasphemies like hungry pigs.

When Jesus commanded the demons to leave the possessed person, the legion of demons came out of the man. Demons usually enter or attach themselves to something, so they said: “are you come here to torment us before the time?” and “So the devils besought him, . . . suffer us to go away into the herd of swine”. 2 Seeing that it was not yet their time to be tormented Jesus granted them permission, “And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine:” 3 Michael and his angels will cast Satan and his demons out of heaven in the middle of the last seven years. Seeing it is still not their time to be tormented, they will again receive permission to enter the pigs.

However this time the demons will go for the humans as possessing a human is a much greater achievement for them than possessing a pig.

The humans, who gobble up everything like the pigs will be easier targets than those who don’t accept and believe everything.

Satan himself possesses the Antichrist.

And “the whole herd ran violently down a steep hill and perished in the waters” 4 in this case the pool of blood at Armageddon.

Let us be extremely careful about what we absorb and shield ourselves with God’s word, so we don’t suffer the same fate as the pigs, as the demons will possess multitudes.

Now that heaven is cleaned out, all the angels and saints can focus their power 5 on God’s children on earth, who will do exploits. 6 27

Those who know God’s promises put God to the test. It is a test both ways; God puts them to the test and they put God to the test to see if He will hold true to His promises. God loves it!

The prophets dreamed of this time, but the honour is ours!

The two Prophets in Jerusalem expose what is going on. “if any man will hurt them, fire comes out of their mouth to devour their enemies. . These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not . . power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.” 1 There is the woman with wings* or the believers fleeing into the wilderness.2 Will you be ready and to part with property and possessions, in order to flee when the time comes? 3 Are we still pilgrims and strangers on this earth? 4 “And they that understand among the people shall instruct many.” 5 People will wonder ‘what is going on?’ Now you can tell them.

Daniel also wrote, “the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” 6 Maybe we don’t know God so well, but we can at least try to step out on His promises, and let’s see if God comes through.

All the greats in heaven will be able to focus on us during these last 1260 days without the distractions of the Devil, as he is cast out of heaven. 7 “that they without us should not be made perfect”. 8 Their joy is perfect as they are free to assist us.

But what if we get killed? Would you not rather leave this insane asylum and go back to heaven, to those that love you instead of this bunch on earth that despises you, because you don’t want to worship their talking dolly? 9 By killing us they are sending us back home, with instant arrival.

The Seven Trumpets of the Tribulation Before the trumpets, first the believers receive the Seal of God to protect them. “Hurt not the earth, . . the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” 1 Then to show that God does not appreciate the persecution of His children, the angels start sounding the Seven Tribulation Trumpets. This is to keep the Antichrist busy with other things besides persecuting God’s children. The first four trumpets are asteroids and meteor showers.2 The Fifth trumpet is an asteroid that cracks the earth and nasty locusts appear for five months that sting like scorpions, but “only those men which have not the seal of God”.* 3 People try to commit suicide but “death will flee from them.” 4 More disasters are coming for those with the Mark of the Beast.

The Sixth Trumpet announces a vast army of 200 million arising from the East.5 No country can support an army this size.

This army refers to the uprising of the Islam, preparing with the ‘Madhi’** for the final Jihad to rid the world of the ‘Dajjal’ (Antichrist) with his allies of ‘kafirs’ (non-believers) and ‘mushriks’ (polytheists).

- 3½ years of drought They have unique powers, and will be hated.1 These are the two olive trees and candlesticks of God.2 Then the Antichrist attacks again the Middle East with an all-out invasion. He occupies Israel and many other countries.

Jordan with her benevolent king shall he leave alone. 3 * The Antichrist moves to Jerusalem.4 * He kills the two prophets.5 * He will sit in the temple declaring that he is ‘God’.6 News troubles him he will be furious and utterly destroy. 7 “tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him:” - News that besides the army from the east, Israel’s allies prepare to attack!

He presses the red button to eliminate the major enemy that opposes his move to Jerusalem, thus Babylon is annihilated.8 “She shall be utterly burned with fire. . . Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.”

How much she has glorified herself. .” 9 “I will send a fire on Magog, (Russia)” Maybe a retaliatory strike against Russia prior to Babylon’s nuclear annihilation? “and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles” 10 (possibly UK, NZ, Aussie?)

LEADING UP TO ARMAGEDDON An army of 200,000,000 is coming from East,1 which is the uprising of the Islam for the final Jihad to destroy the Dajjal and his allies.

Can you see how Europe and some Middle Eastern countries that side with the Antichrist will not want to be overrun by the Islamic forces and submit to the Sharia Law? They will, under the leadership of the Antichrist and the ‘motivating’ False Prophet, be compelled to stop this invasion from the East, as they will refuse Islamic Rule. The best strategic place to stop this offensive from the East is in the Middle East before Europe is overrun. In Armageddon the plains (the plains of Megiddo) which is in Israel, the armies will gather to block the advance of the Islamic army going any further.

“The Lord GOD; says Behold, I am against you, O Gog, (Antichrist) the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Russia): . . I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will bring you forth. (you will be compelled to come) Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, and Libya * with them all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer (Germany), and all his bands; Togarmah (Turkey). . , and all his bands: and many people with you.” 2

We saw that with moving to Israel,3 the Antichrist has two major enemies: Israel’s allies/Babylon, which he wipes out by pressing the red button. 4 Therefore he is now able focus his strength on the army from the East.

When the nuclear bombs explode, the inconceivable takes place. We leave this insane asylum as Jesus comes to gather us in the Rapture.5 One of the nuclear after effects is that the river Euphrates will dry up so the army from the East has now unrestrained access to the Middle East and Europe. 6 Can you see how everyone will be compelled to join this ‘righteous’ war? 7 Jesus said, ‘Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God’ 8 31 3.

The Seventh and Last Trumpet Sounds!

The unthinkable happens “There shall be a time of trouble, (nuclear disaster) such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time, and at that time shall your people be delivered, every one who is found written in the book. Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. The wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” 1 “Except those days be shortened, no flesh should be saved” 2

The last trumpet 3 announces the return of Jesus in the clouds to save those that believe in Him out of this nuclear disaster in an event called “the Rapture”. Simultaneously this trumpet announces the aftermath of the atomic war.

Jesus said, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, the stars shall fall (nuclear night /meteors/asteroids) . then 4 shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: . . a great sound of a trumpet . . and angels shall gather together his elect . . .” 5 None of us have the authority to change Jesus’ words* from ‘immediately after’ to before.

Besides this, Satan, the Antichrist and False Prophet gather the kings and armies of the world together with lies and wonders 5 for the ultimate show-down, to war with Him that sits on the horse, Jesus.6 7 Thunder, heavy earthquake, hail - Armageddon - 7 “It is done!”

My Personal Choices It says you either “worship this image or be killed.” 1 I kind of like my life, don’t you? Let’s make an informed decision!

Being the selfish character that I am, I want to make sure that I come out a winner.

Choice number one Accepting the Antichrist and his mark looks inviting at first, as I save my neck temporarily.

What next?

• If I chose to take the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip I can be traced any minute. My life will be dictated, as I am hooked up to the image that can give me the death sentence if I don’t cooperate. My free will is gone; I am a zombie. 2 • I have to worship the image, made by science, as my god.

‘This is my new creator.’ 3 • I need to betray my friends and family, who don’t worship the image 4 to get in good with the authorities.

• I have to dodge the meteorites and asteroids of the seven tribulation trumpets. 5 • Locusts chase me for five months and sting like scorpions. 6 • I want to commit suicide, but somehow can’t. 7 • After three and a half years of zombie, I end up in the atomic war and break out in painful boils. 8 • If I make it through the atomic aftermath I will be recruited for the battle of Armageddon, where I make my last wish: ‘May I please die as soon as possible?’

• My wish is fulfilled 9 and the vultures feast on my body. 10 •

My Personal Choices CHOICE NUMBER TWO The Consequences if I decide against the image and taking the mark.

What next?

Jesus said, “when you see the 'abomination‘, then . . . flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.” 1 This shows that once the image is placed in the Temple, it is immediately very efficient and it is time to run for your life.

I hide in the wilderness with other believers where I am fed.2 In the wilderness there is a place prepared of God where we will be fed for 1260 days. The thrill of ‘man versus wild’ to the max!

What if I don’t get away on time and I get caught? It means the death penalty. So neither of the choices look that great. However death is only a sad occasion if I leave God and Jesus 3 out of the picture. As with Jesus, “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 4 At least that is a lot better than being hooked up to the image and stay alive a few more years before I die in agony of soul, body and spirit. 5 Of course I will be branded, “traitor, terrorist, enemy of the state” and all that stuff. My corpse will be dumped into a mass grave, but thank God finally I am away from this idiocy, this senseless absurdity and those crazed people that hate me, because I love Jesus. 6

So. . . . Ready . . . . Aim . . . . Fire . . . . there goes Johan. 7 I am going up to heaven. The people that love me, await me. Immediate arrival!

Back home for Christmas.

“Hey guys, Let’s celebrate, Johan made it too!”

They are even proud of me, but what did I do?

Nothing really… I just took the easy way out!

I relax with a glass of the very best wine until I meet the love of my life, my eternal Soul-mate, my Jesus.

“A great tumult (panic) from the Lord shall be among them. Everyone .. shall rise up against . . his neighbour.” 2 As the civil anarchy ends, the words of Genesis will ring true, “Whoso sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” 3 The words of prophet Isaiah are fulfilled who described the nuclear war and its aftermath, “the constellations . . shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened . . I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place . . in the day of his fierce anger.” 4 Isaiah also gives the reason of why it happens, “I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity, I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease.” 5

Isaiah describes that hardly any males will be left: “I will make a man more precious than fine gold.” 6 There will be so few men left that . . . , “in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, ‘We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: (we will do our own shopping) only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.’” 7 1.

After the Millennium . . .

Let’s get rid of these tyrants” and everyone comes up against the saints.

Next “fire came down from God out of heaven”. 1 This is followed by the Judgment Day. 2 We often say ‘Why does God allow all this injustice?’ He has to allow things to take its course to see what is in each of our heart.

How to Skip Judgment?

God does not want to judge you, that is why He sent us His Son, Jesus, to take our punishment for us so that we don’t have to stand trial. He offers us forgiveness, but we have to individually accept it. 1 Why not give yourself a break and admit that you are a sinner, so you can obtain God’s forgiveness by receiving Jesus now, and live an amazing, exciting life of love for all eternity with peace in your heart.

Who could refuse an offer like that? .“It was your fault”

“I am so sorry, will you please forgive me”

that or this “No it was yours, and I will get even with you”

“How can I not forgive you, I have been forgiven so much” 45

And he said unto me, ‘Write: for these words are true and faithful.’” 1

Explanation of The Daniel51 Timelines and Apocalyptic Phenomena

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in In this part we learn from Daniel chapter two the complete overview of world history, shown in a dream to the king around 600 B.C. long before it happened.

Ever since childhood I wanted to know „why?‟ and how it all fits.

As a child I loved history so I knew about the hanging gardens of Babylon, about the law of the Medes and Persians that could not be altered, I was very intrigued by Alexander the Great and his horse Bucephalus, by the Romans and how they marched everywhere constructing thousands of miles of highways throughout their empire. That part was cool. But if that part is true then there is every reason to believe that the rest of that overview will also come to pass.

Maybe history is like a train-schedule. According to the schedule we have passed certain stations, the last one was the Roman Empire. You know if the schedule is good then the next station should be the New World Order with its leader and eventually the end station of Jesus returning to set up His kingdom.

Right now we are passing the landscapes and mountains which are mentioned on the schedule, i.e. pestilences, famines, earthquakes, wars, etc. prior to arriving at the next station. (See pg. 12 - Various Indications) Can you hear the announcement and whistle (blowers) for the next station?

Outline of history from 606 B.C. onward In Daniel chapter two, king Nebuchadnezzar had an important dream, which he forgot. Daniel prays and the dream about a statue is revealed to him with the interpretation. It is a summary of empires that will rule the Middle East.

•

Babylon was the head of Gold. 1 (gold was used in abundance in Babylon) 606-539 B.C.

•

Two arms and chest of silver, 2 which represents the dual empire of the Medes and Persians. (two arms are two empires joined together) 539-333 B.C.

•

Belly of brass; 3 Greece. (Greek art is much in brass; sexual parts Greeks are known to have been ‘sexually liberated’; ‘solar plexus’ a.k.a. the spiritual seat, hence the Greek mythology and wise men) 333-44 B.C.

•

Two legs of iron; 4 Roman Empire. (legs signify the Roman armies marching all over Europe and North Africa. Two legs, as Rome divided into Eastern and Western Roman Empire) 44 B.C.-476 A.D.

•

Feet and Toes of Iron and Clay; 5 (Clay with particles characterizes democracy, Iron is for dictatorships. The two feet is for our split world of East and West. “the toes”- ten toes signify the ten last kingdoms, or the ten world regions soon to come.* “ten kings. .which have received no kingdom yet, receive power as kings one hour with the beast.” 6

A Stone; The dream ends with “a stone. .which smote the image upon his feet.” 7 The statue crumbles to dust, which the wind blows away. “The stone became a great mountain that filled the whole earth.” 8 Daniel interprets this that “in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed.” 9 Daniel ends with telling king Nebuchadnezzar,

The seven heads of Satan shows that he has been the power behind the world empires.

That is why he could offer them to Jesus, because Satan controls them and pulls the strings.

The fifth are the martyrs of history. The sixth seal is about the very last days. The seventh seal announces the Trumpets of the Tribulation.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 1 The first seal is the white horse of political and religious bigotry, that with the crown of “leadership and noble aspirations” conquers and divides mankind.

II The second seal is the red horse of war using these divisions to take peace from the earth.

III The third seal is the black horse of business, that thrives with war.

“A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures I

of barley for a penny; and see you do not hurt the oil and the wine.” 2 – Here you see how big business keeps a

strangle hold on the daily food, represented by the wheat and barley, while it keeps itself well supplied with the good things of life symbolized by the oil and the wine.

The fourth is the pale horse of death, eager to reap IV the result of our sins of selfishness and what the other horsemen have sown, creating Hell on earth, with death and destruction When he had opened the fifth seal, he saw the souls of the V martyrs crying out, “how long before you judge our blood?”

The sixth seal points to the very last days, the earthquake, the VI great day of wrath of God, the saints receiving the seal of God. The seventh seal was opened and it was quiet in heaven, because VII this means the start of the Seven Tribulation Trumpets.

The Seventy Weeks Prophecy Prophecies concerning the last seven years are usually preceded by a prophecy that is already fulfilled. The fulfilled prophecy is there to show that the next part of the prophecy will also come to pass.

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want (miss) her mate: for my mouth has commanded it”

The mate of a prophecy is its fulfillment. All the prophecies will be fulfilled as the Lord cannot break His word.

The following Seventy Weeks Prophecy is the major cornerstone for the book of Revelation and Bible Prophecy in general.

The „last week‟ or „last seven years‟ is the most important.

This „last seven years‟ time period helps all the references of both Daniel and Revelations concerning the 1260 days, 42 months and 3½ years fall perfectly into place, making our puzzle picture complete.

1. Isaiah 34:16 “Gabriel . . said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. . . and I am come to show you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter.” (Dan. 9:22,23) Gabriel is asking Daniel to focus and understand the matter. Daniel was higly intelligent and the Prime Minister of the Babylonian and Medo-Persion empires. How much more should we focus to understand this 70 weeks prophecy, as we will soon enter into the last week, or last 7 years of this prophecy.

Seventy Weeks Prophecy Ends with the anointing of the Most Holy.

Jesus Returns

70 weeks

The Hebrew word (pronounced shabua) translates as week or seven years. In this prophecy it fits seven years.

Daniel writes that, “Seventy weeks are determined . . . to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness (when the corruption will end) to seal up the vision and prophecy, (this is when the prophecy is sealed or finished) and to anoint the most Holy.” 1 The most Holy refers to Jesus Christ and that is when He returns and will be anointed King of the Earth.

From this we learn that at the end of the seventieth and last week, or the end of the last seven years, Jesus returns to set up God’s Kingdom.

57

1. Daniel 9:24 The 70 weeks are divided into 3 periods: 7, 62 and 1 week. (Daniel 9:24-27) The 70 weeks are 70 time periods of seven years. It shows that the Bible is not just a spiritual book, but has some very down to earth math and time frames in the prophecies that will have to be fulfilled.

There are no authentic records of the late Persian history. However, the Greek historian Diodorus places the death of Themistocles in 471 B.C. It is reported that after his arrival in Persia, Themistocles asked for an audience with Artaxerxes Longimanus. This shows that Arthaxerxes was already on the throne before 471 B.C. Additional historical evidence points to 474 B.C. as the year that Artaxerxes Longimanus ascended the throne, thus his twentieth year is 454 B.C.

It says that, “from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem shall be seven weeks” 1 Hence from the time that Arthaxerxes gave the commandment in 454 B.C. until the restoration of Jerusalem was finished, is seven weeks.

1 week equals 7 years, so 7 weeks equals 7 X 7 years or 49 years later, in the year 405 B.C. the restoration was completed. “the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” 2 About these troublous times Nehemiah records the following in his writings: “They which builded. . . , everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. . . . . . So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared”3 59

1. Daniel 9:25 2. Daniel 9:25 3: Nehemiah 4:17, 21 The restoration of Jerusalem included the rebuilding of the temple by Ezra. “our God shall fight for us.. at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day. So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.” (Nehemiah 4:20-23)

“to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks (these are passed) and threescore and two (62) weeks”. 1 Therefore from the restoration of Jerusalem 405 B.C. until the crucifixion of Jesus was 62 weeks.

1 week equals 7 years, so 62 weeks equals 62 X 7 yrs or 434 years later, which brings us to the year 29 A.D., as we have passed the year 0.

“After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself.” 2 Jesus was not cut off or crucified for himself, but for salvation of mankind. “he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” 3 60

Why doesn’t it seem to fit?

According to the scripture Jesus was crucified at the age of 33, so why the year 29 A.D.?

Our modern calendar that splits time between B.C. and A.D. was not invented until 525 A.D. At that time Pope John the First asked a monk named Dionysius to prepare a standardized calendar for the Western Church and Civilization with the birth of Jesus as starting year.

Although Dionysius tried to get it as accurate as he could, he was four years off and Jesus was born 4 B.C., as is also confirmed in other historical writings.

Now we can see that people, who understood the scriptures and the Seventy Weeks Prophecy, were waiting in and around the temple for the Messiah.

“Simeon; . . took . . him (Jesus) up in his arms, . . . For mine eyes have seen your salvation . . .And there was Anna, . . and she coming in . . spoke of him (Jesus) to all them that looked for redemption”. 1 “Philip finds Nathanael, and says. . We have found him”. 2 61

It is almost Surreal “And he (the Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (seven years) and in the midst of the week (after 3½ years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(he stops the animal sacrifice and the offerings) and for the overspreading of abominations (his image) he shall make it desolate, (spiritually dead, dry and wretched) even until the consummation, (the end - the vials of the wrath of God - the aftereffects of the atomic destruction) and that determined (when God is determined then it will come to pass) shall be poured upon the desolate”.1 (upon those that have taken the mark of the beast and are spiritually dead and dry – ‘dear Jesus please keep us’) And I heard the man clothed in linen,. . . when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; (3½ years) and when he (the Antichrist) shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.” 2 (finished because Jesus returns) “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” 3 (shall we stop and pray that we may be wise?)

Why is the Antichrist from Egypt?

The following is interesting information from around 550 B.C. that tells us that the Antichrist comes forth out of Alexander’s empire.

“Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them Alexander the Great came forth a little horn (the Antichrist), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land”. 1 The explanation is found later on in the same chapter verse 21 onward, “the goat is Greece, and the great horn . . . is the first king”. 2 Alexander the Great was the first great king of Greece. “the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven”. 3 When Alexander died at early age, his kingdom was divided into four: first the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, second the Seleucid Empire in the east, third the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor which is present day Turkey, and fourth Macedon present day Greece.

This prophecy was given over 200 years before Alexander the Great.

“And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land”, which is Israel. 5 This refers to the Antichrist, as it later explains in the same chapter about this little horn. “In the latter time . . . a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences shall stand up.” 4 The Antichrist comes out of one of these four mentioned kingdoms.

By the process of elimination we end up with Egypt, as the three other parts of Alexander’s divided kingdom either double up in direction or there is a sea south of them. The Antichrist has his roots in Egypt.

Isn’t that another copy of Jesus. “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” 6 64

Why the Seal of God and for Who? During the last three and a half years of mankind the trumpets will sound with the different plagues, but true believers will first receive the Seal of God in their foreheads, so they will be protected from the plagues.

“I saw another angel.. saying, Hurt not the earth neither the sea nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” 1 “And there came . . Locusts . . their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, they should not hurt; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. . . tormented five months: . . men seek death, and shall not find it; . . death will flee from them.” 2 “These are they which came out of great tribulation”. 3

Who will receive the Seal of God? It mentions 144,000, of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel, will receive the Seal of God in their forehead. 4 Most of us have taken this to be literal, which may well be true, as a number of Jews will realize that the maker of the covenant is not their messiah when he breaks the covenant and will then accept their true Messiah, Jesus.

We know however that, “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” 5 and that, “if you are Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise”. 6 Paul wrote much on the subject, that by accepting what Jesus did for us, we have become true descendants of Abraham and of the tribes of Israel. Hence the 144,000 is likely a combination of Jewish and ‘non-Jewish’ believers.

We learn that they will “come out of great tribulation”, so they are likely the ones to be at the Lord’s return. 7 We are not sure if these will be the only believers still alive, or if they are the leadership that will help others through the hazards of the tribulation.

If we calculate by today’s world population, over seven billion, then comparatively speaking 144,000 is 1 in 50,000.

The Woman in the Wilderness 1 “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun . . . upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.. . . And to the woman were given two wings . . . the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there 1260 days (3½ years). . . the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as it was born”. 2 This woman represents the body or bodies of believers, that God will take care of in the wilderness, just like He did with Moses and the children of Israel. Only for us it will be 3½ years and not 40 years.

The woman is in labour pain, which represents this time of great tribulation that the believers are going through.

The child that she brings forth is Jesus when He returns.

How long is the ‘Marriage Supper’?

•

•

• •

•

•

“from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination set up (functions), there shall be 1290 days.” 1 The abomination is set up right at the start of the tribulation after the sacrifice is stopped and is functioning for 1290 days before it is destroyed.

As we learned Jesus comes to gather his children after 1260 days, which is the length of the tribulation. 2 However at that time He does not yet destroy the abomination or the Image of the Beast, as He only comes for the ‘Rapture” to gather His children for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The demolishing of the Image happens only after the Marriage Supper when Jesus comes down with his army on white horses to take over the Earth.

The Marriage Supper is thus 1290 minus 1260 equals 30 days.

“Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto 2300 days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” 1 Here you see that the sanctuary or temple is functioning 2300 days; first with the daily animal sacrifice, which is then replaced by the image or the abomination of desolation until the temple is cleansed.

For the mathematicians: Seven years is {7 X 360 (Lunar Calendar)} equals 2520 days, plus the extra 30 days before the temple is cleansed, making a total of 2550. This leaves us with 2550 days minus 2300 equals 250 days or roughly eight months at the beginning of the seven years, after the signing of the covenant, for the temple building before it is inaugurated.

You can come out now! You made it!

“Blessed is he that waits, and comes (makes it) to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty (1335) days.” 1 We just had a period of 1290 days and here we have another period of 1335 days. This is talking about a time frame of 1335 days minus 1290 which equals 45 days.

This is referring to the time period after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb when Jesus will step in with His host to save what is left before all is obliterated. This is to pick up the pieces of the nuclear holocaust, the epic of man’s inhumanity to man, man’s foolishness and greed. Here you see how this ends in bringing total annihilation and death, and unless the Lord steps in no flesh will be saved. 2 We have learned that Jesus and his host when they come back on white horses first destroy the image. The soldiers are cut off from the instructions that the image sends. Simultaneously the Antichrist, their leader, along with the False Prophet are cast into a lake of fire. 3 The armies and nations that hate Jesus will destroy each other rather than surrender to Jesus* - “every man's sword shall be against his brother.” 4 After 45 days the bloodbath, the anarchy and civil war comes to an end . . .

The people that did not accept the mark nor Jesus, and escaped this insane bloodbath by disappearing into the jungles and their hiding places, can now come out. . . Peace at last. The Millennium starts . . . Thank God! “Blessed is he that waits and comes (makes it) to the 1335 days.”

Why Jesus?

Why not Buddha or others?

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in Is there life after death or a heaven and hell?

These questions always intrigued me, so I researched the subject and from what I discovered it seems that millions upon millions of people have had a Near Death Experience or NDE. They were declared clinically dead and revived later.

Most tell a similar story that they separated from their body, they went through a tunnel, they saw a „Being of Light‟ and heaven which they reported is full of light and love and indescribably beautiful and many meeting their loved ones, etc.

However on the contrary and negative there seem different spheres and realms of blackness or loneliness and “hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched.” Mark 9:43. On earth our fires of wounded pride are usually quenched by others, or the police. Just like in this life we often take matters in our own hand and refuse to look to God, as we think that He is incapable of doing anything about it. We will subsequently go to a place where all of us, who feel mistreated, can fight each other without our fire being quenched.

The saying “this just burns me up” will then be reality as our physical masquerade will be removed. The fires of anger and contention will then be actual flames. Hell on earth and hell hereafter.

God gives us a beautiful world, nature, love and eventually heaven. Yet, instead of appreciating Him we blame our problems on Him and cling to our hurt feelings, anger and miseries, so God in his startling love gives us our desires. The best thing is to forgive and let your grudges go today. You‟ll be glad you did for eternity.

Is suicide a way out?

The late actor Robin Williams said, “Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.” But is it?

Sandy Rogers committed suicide and was revived.

She explains, “There was this unconditional love. I was told „you can stay here or go back. If you stay you are going to have to go through everything that brought you to this point.‟ I knew that I did not want to go through that again. There is no way to escape that if you try to kill yourself 72 and you succeed somehow you will have to go back and live your life from the beginning and you will have to go from the point where you killed yourself also, so you are not escaping.”

“You have been given this life, because you are strong enough to live it.”

StudyIn„Part Three‟ andwe discover this part learna guiding more thread in a comprehensive study of the ab six major World Religions. (pgs. 74-79) We distinguish the Religion and God contrast (pgs. 80-83) Furthermore by observing our modern technology we uncover the simple explanation for the mind-boggling, controversial Creation-Evolution Dilemma. (pgs. 84-86) What about religious converts?

Jesus said, “unless you convert and become like a little child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” 1 The Kingdom, where its citizens are loving and forgiving people with childlike faith. Jesus did not come to start another religion. He came to lift us high above the divisions and narrow-mindedness of religion to connect us back to our Creator, to our God, to Love itself.

What is the solution?

As soon as you are able, find a quiet place to open your heart and humbly ask Jesus to reveal himself to you. (see prayer on pg. 47) He was more misunderstood and went through worse „shuck‟ than you did, yet He held on.

He will guide you through it and your mountains will become a challenge.

• HINDUISM: We have been taught by our gurus and pundits that there is no such thing as sin, only positive and negative karma; When we read the original writings of the Vedas and Upanishads, they teach us differently; they teach about sin, about heaven, hell, salvation from hell (Mukti) and one exclusive way of salvation through the Purush Prajapati.

First Hindu writings the Rig Vedas around 1800 to 1400 B.C.

The theme in the Rig Veda the Upanishads is the nature and purpose of the Purush Prajapati (Purush = Man, Prajapati = Supreme Creator) and his supreme sacrifice. (Purush Prajapati translated from Sanskrit “the Lord of all creation who became man”). (Sathpathbrahmana 10.2.2.1_2; Rg Ved Purushasukta 10:19)

The Purush Prajapati is the one and only way to eternal life. “Nanyah pantha vidyate-ayanaya”. (Yajur Veda 31:18) The Supreme Creator took a perfect human body “Nishkalanka Purusha” and offered it up as a self sacrifice. (Brihad Aranyak Upanishad 1.2.8) He is the only sinless human being, and only in knowing him does one obtain immortality. (Chandogya Upanishad 1.6:6,7) After giving Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, He resurrects. (Brihad Aranyak Upanishad 3.9.28.4_5; Kathopanishad 3:15) By his resurrection, the Purush Prajapati conquered death and released sin's stranglehold on mankind. We are delivered from ‘karma’ and the ‘Mouth of Death’.

He will return to earth only once more. Acknowledging the sacrifice of the perfect Purush Prajapati imparts eternal life. (Kathopanishad 1,3.8,11) He was symbolized by a spotless lamb, which was the animal most commonly sacrificed.* (Maddyandiniya Sathpathbrahmana III) *The people place their sins on the lamb and the lamb dies in their place. This form of sacrifice is still a regular occurrence in several Hindu temples throughout India.

In most religions, we find traces of the doctrine that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. 1 People sacrifice a lamb or goat as atonement or reparation for their sins.

• JUDAISM: First writings: the 5 books of Moses from approximately 1500 B.C. till the last writings of the book of Malachi around 400 B.C. In Judaism we find several hundred prophecies that apply to the Messiah.

Concerning His birth & mother “A virgin shall conceive and bear a son”. 1 Concerning His Place of Birth “Bethlehem . . out of you shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;” 2 Concerning His early youth “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” 3 Concerning his message “preach good tidings unto the meek; . . . bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives. .” 4 etc.

Concerning the bribe for His betrayal “I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.” 5 Judas threw the 30 silver coins back to the priests and they bought the Potter’s field with it.

Concerning His suffering “But he was wounded for our transgressions, the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. . with his stripes we are healed . . . he opened not his mouth, he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter. . . for the transgression of my people was he stricken. .” 6 Concerning His clothes “Part my garments, cast lots upon my vesture.” 7 Concerning His execution “They have pierced my hands and my feet. .” 8 This remarkable prophecy was given by king David, who lived around 1000 B.C. Crucifixion was invented more than 600 years afterwards by the Persians circa 350 B.C. It was later ‘perfected’ by the Romans.

Concerning His death and resurrection “God will not leave his soul in the grave, neither will he suffer his Holy One to see corruption and decay”.9 “in the third day he will raise us up. .” 10 His body will not decay.

Concerning the year of His death “After 62 weeks shall the Messiah be cut off , but not for himself. .” 11 See explanation in the Seventy Weeks Prophecy * These are just a few of the several hundred prophecies that pertain to the Messiah in Judaism.

• BUDDHISM: Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama Buddha 563-483 B.C.) The following Buddhist scriptures are copied from the Religious Encyclopedia Volume 23, Book 29, kept at the library of Wat Phra Sing monastery in the ChiangMai Province, Thailand.

“When Buddha was traveling and living in this world there was an old Brahmin priest who wore white robes and asked Buddha, ‘How will all men and all Brahmins continue in their merit-making so as to escape the results of sin?’

Buddha answered , ‘Even though all of you give alms according to the 5 precepts, the 8 precepts, the 10 precepts or the 227 precepts for 9 trillion years and you raise your hands and offer yourselves as a burnt offering, or you pray 5 times a day, you will not escape the results of your sins. . .You shall not enter heaven’s doors. . . The results of sin and karma are very great, heavier than the sky; thicker than the earth. . . ‘ The old priest asked further, ‘So what should we all do?’

Buddha answered, . . . ‘look for another Holy One who will come and help the world and all of you in the future.’

The old priest asked, ‘What will the characteristics of the Holy One be like?’

Buddha answered him, ‘The Holy One who will keep the world in the future will be like this: * in the palm of his hands and in the flat of his feet will be the design of a disk, 1 Roman nail used 1. * in his side will be a stab wound, 2 for crucifixion 2. * his forehead will have many scars. 3 leaving a disk-like imprint

This Holy One will be the golden boat who will carry you over the cycle of rebirths all the way to the highest heaven (Nirvana).

Do not look for salvation in the old way; there is no salvation in it for sure. Quit the old way. There will be a new spirit like the light of a lightening bug, which will come down from the sky above to live in all of your hearts and you will be victorious over all your enemies. Nobody will be able to destroy you.

If you die, you will not come back to be born in this world again. You will go to the highest heaven.’”

• CHRISTIANITY: • •

New Testament writings from around 30 to 90 A.D. In the four gospels of the New Testament we learn about life of Jesus Christ. He gives signs and does miracles. He says publicly that he is the Light of the World, he is the Way, the Truth, and Life. He declares that the person who believes in him has eternal life. He states to be the resurrection and the life and promptly raises someone from the dead to prove this point. He healed sick people and lepers, the handicapped and blind, and he raised several people from the dead.

•

However many rejected him as he was not the “holy type” that we would anticipate God to be like. His first recorded miracle was producing around 700 liters (almost 1000 bottles) of the best wine at a wedding, for those who already had their quota. 1

•

(Many have tried to explain that it was non alcoholic grape-juice, however the governor of the feast, or the ‘event manager’, who had organized many weddings would not have called grape-juice ‘the good wine’)*

•

He was called, “The Son of God”, “The Christ”, 2 but also “a gluttonous man and winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners” 3 He did not just tolerate them, He was their friend. A friend is someone that you enjoy being with, who is honest and does not pretend to be holy.

He was non-conventional, politically incorrect and hated religious hypocrisy, which he exposed time and time again. 4 He forcibly threw all the businessmen, who were there by the authority of the high priests, personally out of the temple grounds, along with their animals and spilling their money boxes. 5 The common people heard him gladly, but the religious leaders, except a few, hated him to the core and they forced the hand of the Roman occupiers to give him the death sentence. According to the New Testament records he was crucified and died on the cross.

He arose from the grave three days after his death, before corruption set in; thus not only fulfilling the prophecies of the previous religions, Hinduism and Judaism, but also fulfilling what Buddha taught the Brahmin priest - the disk shapes on His hands and feet - the stab wound as he was pierced in his side by a spear 6 - the scars in his forehead caused by the crown of thorns. 7

ISLAM: Around 610-632 A.D. Muslims believe the Quran was revealed through Angel Jibril (Gabriel) from God to Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him) when he was 40 years of age from 610 A.D. till the year that he died 632 A.D. WHO IS JESUS IN ISLAM? Islam calls Isa (Jesus) ‘Ruh Allah’ 1 – meaning the Soul or the Spirit of God. He is also called ‘Kalimatullah’ 2 – meaning the Word of God. Isa is mentioned 25 times in the Quran. Muhammed (PBUH) is cited 4 times.

He was born of the virgin Miriam 3 (Mary) so for Muslims Jesus represents the Spirit and Word of God, who came into the world through a supernatural birth.

The question is: ‘Can Allah or God, who is almighty and can do anything, come to earth in the form of a human being?’ – If this is possible then could God have come to earth in the form of Jesus to show His love and the way of salvation?

•

THE FINAL JIHAD We find in the Hadith and the Quran, that there will come a difficult period over the earth with an evil ruler called the ‘Masih ad-Dajjal’ ("false Messiah”) The Dajjal will gather the wicked, while the Madhi gathers the followers of Allah to do battle with the Dajjal and his forces of kafirs (non-believers) and mushriks (the polytheists) 4 in the final Jihad. At the end Jesus returns. He will slay the Dajjal and unite mankind and there will be a peaceful government. 5 From nature we learn many valuable parallels.

The egg symbolizes New Life, Spring and Hope for mankind.

When we see the egg, we see One Egg. Just like we see God/Allah as One. He is not two or three eggs, no God/Allah is one, absolutely singular and not plural. However, when we take a closer look at the egg, we see that it is in three parts: The egg-yoke in the centre, the egg-white surrounding the yoke under the shell, and finally the egg-shell, which we see.

The egg-yoke symbolizes God the Father in the centre from whom life springs forth.

The egg-white with its nutritional value signifies the Holy Spirit who feeds us.

The egg-shell gives form to the egg and is visible to us as humans. The shell denotes Jesus, who is the outward manifestation to mankind of Gods hidden, life-bringing qualities. In Jesus/Isa we see that God is most merciful and loving towards us, as he said, “God sent me not to condemn the world, but that I might save the world.” 6 78

Jesus came as the Word and Spirit of God

2. Surah Ali „Imran 3:45 5. Sahih Muslim 41:7023

3. Quran 19:19-21 6. John 3:17

In the Hadith it gives many signs of the Dajjal‟s reign of terror: Dishonesty will be the way of life; Imbeciles will rule over the wise; Rulers will be corrupt; Blood of innocents will be shed; Many people will worship Satan; Usury or immoral monetary loans; No respect for elders, etc.

• ATHEISM: •

•

I have put Atheism as a religion. According to my limited knowledge it takes more faith to believe that we came into being by an explosion of a speck of compressed matter, the size of a dot . . . than it would be to believe that God created the world.

This speck of matter explosion theory, a.k.a. as “the Big Bang”, is a cornerstone of Atheism. It is saying that this dot > . < by exploding off the page can create a whole new universe with suns, planets, earth, moons, stars and eventually human beings. My question is that in making this statement am I reducing myself, or at least the size of my brain, to the level of this dot on the page, or a speck of matter?

Big Bang and Evolution is no longer considered a theory, but it is a largely accepted principle of Science. There is however a conflict in the world of science as well known scientists from Sir Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein realized the fact that there had to be a Creator.

Universe: Scientists have been baffled with the immensity of the universe since the beginning of civilization. When we simply look at the word universe we might find the answer. Universe comes from two Latin root words: uni and versum. Uni meaning: one - Versum meaning: verse or short sentence. In Genesis we read: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” 1 All throughout creation, we see that “God said” or that He spoke one short sentence and it happened. So where did the universe originate? God spoke one short sentence - uni-versum - and there it was: the universe.

•

Who dunnit? If as detectives we want to find out who did it, we look for fingerprints. God left His fingerprints all over the place. We have two kinds of detectives those who see and those who don’t see. Those who see, find evidence galore – those who don’t see, can’t find a single fingerprint. Yet they give complicated reports to cover up that they cannot find out ‘who dunnit’.

Hence it is ‘agreed’ that the “crime of creation” just exploded. Akin to this, I agree that the Encyclopedia Britannica resulted from a big bang explosion in a print shop. How’s my I.Q.? To index the brain takes 2,500 trillion GB (gigabytes)* – to index the 20 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica takes 1 GB. Hence my print-shop explosion theory is 2,500,000,000,000,000 times more probable than the ‘big bang theory’. Enough said on the subject.

• Can a dead God damage our brain?

•

If according to you God is a crutch for the weak-minded, or like Nietzsche you consider God dead, then my friend I’ll give you my best wishes. Just be careful that your life does not end in disillusionment, as it did with Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher (1844-1900) who said that “Gott ist tot” or God is dead.1 The poor fellow had a mental breakdown for the last eleven years of his life. That means if he died at the age of fifty six, he pretty much lost it at the age of forty five.

L.A.Times, 29-10-1997, Sections of News article:

by Steve Connor–Science Correspondent,.

Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran of the University of California in San Diego said that the phenomena of religious belief in God is “hard-wired” in our Dr. V. Ramachandran brain. Could this heretofore unidentified part of the brain -- nicknamed the "God module" -- actually be some sort of physiological seat of religious belief ? The scientists who discovered it believe it might be. The scientists said that although the research and its conclusions are preliminary, initial results suggest that the phenomenon of religious belief is "hard-wired" into the brain. - A spokesman for Richard Harries, the Bishop of Oxford, said whether there is a "God module" is a question for scientists, not theologians. "It would not be surprising if God had created us with a physical facility for belief," he said.

“love the Lord . . with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37) We mostly use our mind to prove ourselves right! However it is amazing what wonders open up in the scriptures, if we use our mind to research and prove God‟s Word right. – or is it, that “the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.”? (2Corinthians 4:4) See page 20 to learn more about the complexity of our inconceivable brain.

The Religion and God Contrast When we take an honest objective look at religion we see that religions divide mankind through prejudice and intolerance.

1. Many of us as Hindu, Christian, Muslim or other religion indentify God somewhat as an orange fruit. We take a bite in the peel and it gives a bad taste, as often God is used as a stick to enforce personal ethics. “If you do this, God will be angry and bad things can happen. If you don’t go to the temple, the mosque or the church you might go to hell.” We have created an oppressing “God” that might possibly forgive us our shortcomings and sins in exchange for us being religious and “good”. 1 To escape hell we presume we must be “good”.

Lord forgive me I am a sinner We try so hard to be ‘good’ that it stops us from being honest about our weaknesses. 2 We think God is pleased when we are ‘good’ and sacrifice.

Some of us go so far as to sacrifice our life, 3 Thank God that , I am not like him thinking that God is pleased with our service, even if it means killing ourselves and others.4 Can we see how being ‘good’ leads us away from loving others, which is like unto loving God? 5 It was the ‘good’ religious people that fasted, knew scriptures, served in the temple and gave alms to the poor, that could not handle Jesus, as He did not fit their ‘image of Holy God’. It was the ‘good’ ones that made sure that He was killed in the most cruel, horrible fashion. 6 “None is good” 7 “for all have sinned” 8 We remove our sour ‘good religious’ peel and discover God. Like the orange He is juicy, refreshing, sweet, invigorating and life giving.” Jesus shows us what God is like. He healed, brought forgiveness, light and love. He was a “friend of sinners”. 9 He enjoyed people that were honest about themselves and knew they needed God’s help to change. 10 God demands not goodness, but desires our honesty and love. Jesus came to lift us high above the quagmires of religion to bring us back to the Father, to Love itself. 11 81

• Your House: Rock or Sand?

•

Jesus said,“Whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock” - If we can simply believe His Word then we are building on the ROCK. “And every one that hears . . and does them not, is like a foolish man (a.k.a. idiot), which built his house upon the sand. . - The sandy foundation of self goodness, “and great was the fall of .it” 1 One thing is certain - the floods will come.

Paul explains, “By grace A are you saved B through faith C and that not of yourself, it is a gift of God, not of works lest any of us should boast”. 2 A B C

Dictionary for grace is free and unearned favour of God. Dictionary for saved or salvation is deliverance from harm or ruin.

Dictionary for faith is total confidence in someone. (so we can relax)

In other words “because of the free and unearned favour of God, I am delivered from ruin, through putting my complete confidence in Him and I can totally relax, because it is a gift and none of my good works.”

If bu

If someone wants to give me a present out of love, but I want to pay for it, then it can become offensive especially if in acquiring the present that person’s son lost his life.

That is why it is easier for a sinner to be extremely grateful for salvation, because he knows that he doesn’t deserve it.

At the other hand why should a ‘religious and good’ person, who thinks he deserves salvation, be thankful? Yet, if he can see 3 that his religious goodness or self-righteousness is the worst sin of all, 4 as it stops him from being loving with others, 5 which is equal to loving God 6 – then there is hope that he can also see the need to be delivered from ruin – ruining his life and the life of others by his lack of love.

X

Jesus is no shortcut religion – No amount of religion, service, being good or giving can buy or replace His sacrifice for you.

He gave His life for yours; will you give Him your heart? - Only you decide that.

Can you see the highly offensive insult of our goodness?

How do we wrap this up?

If you don’t get these eschatological bits and pieces . . don’t worry about it . . . The main thing to remember is: there is a plan for our lives. Jesus did not come to start another religion, he came to lift us above religious divisions and to connect us back to God. If we place our sins of selfishness and lack of love upon Jesus and accept his sacrifice as forgiveness for our wrongdoings, then the guilt complexes and the barriers that separate us from God disappear.

Then and only then will you and I realize how much our Father is love and loves us. Thanking Jesus, that he took the penalty for my failings and the hurt that I have caused others, is my absolute guaranteed visa and residency permit for heaven, and if you do it with me, then you and I have written our names in heaven and in the Book of Life of the Lamb forever and ever! 1

Consequently we discover:  what is in the Hindu religion called: Mukti or Moksha (salvation) and we get off the Samsāra, the endless wheel of suffering, karma and rebirths. 2  the ‘Joy of your Salvation’ as was written by the prophets of Judaism. 3  what the Buddha taught about the Holy one, or the golden boat which will carry us over the cycle of rebirths all the way to the highest heaven (Nirvana). 4  ‘the way, the truth and the life’ of Christianity. 5  the “Ruh Allah” and the “Kalimatullah”, the Spirit and Word of God of Islam. 6  the enduring mystery of ‘Life’s Origin’ of Atheism. 7

The Creation – Evolution Dilemma Solved See if you can get your head around this.

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth”. Young’s literal translation : “in the beginning God’s preparing the heavens and the earth”.

“In the beginning” before time was in our limited four dimensions of: time, height, width and depth. God created or prepared His overall plan. Much like we create a website, brochure or movie on our computer. “. . . before his works of old. . . from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, . .

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: . . When he prepared the heavens, I was there”. 1 We don’t know how much time it took for Him to prepare and finish his plans because in His dimension there is no time. * Einstein touched on this time predicament when he wrote, "...the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one."

God could have taken a millisecond or billions of years ‘ad infinitum’ to design it.

This is something we do not yet understand as we are limited to time in our four dimensions.

“In the beginning”, or before time was, when God prepared the heavens, we see that the four dimensions did not yet exist. The lack of these four dimensional parameters are amazingly beautiful described in verse two.

Genesis 1:2 “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

When God had his plan ready, when He had finished his design and wanted to upload and launch it into four dimensional form, that we understand and are limited to, obviously the first thing that God had to do was create time.

Genesis 1:3-5 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

So time was created first as otherwise creation could not have been created or have a time frame that we understand.

1. Proverbs 8:22-27 & 1Peter 1:20

84

2. Revelation 10:6

* That God prepared Creation in advance shows in these conversation excerpts of Job 38-41, “The LORD answered Job, ‘Will you condemn me, that you may be righteous? Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Can you send lightnings?

Did you give the goodly wings unto the peacocks? Have you given the horse strength? Does the hawk fly by your wisdom?’ Then Job answered . . ‘I uttered that I understood not;. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.’ So the LORD blessed the end of Job more than his beginning:”

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in Next He uploads: Height, Width and Depth, Genesis 1:6-8 “And God said, Let there be a firmament (Width and Depth) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament (Height) and it was so. . . God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”

After these four dimension were set into motion He could finish His work.

And so on the third day he launched or uploaded gravity and vegetation into our four dimensions.

Genesis 1:9-13 “And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together . . and let the dry land appear: And God called the dry land Earth and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: . . .

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.. . And the evening and the morning were the third day.”

Here we see clearly that it took only one day of 24 hours of time as we know it, as grass and vegetation cannot exist without the sun, which He created, decreed, launched or uploaded the next day.

Genesis 1:14-19 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: . . . And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.. . . to give light upon the earth,. . And to rule over the day and over the night, . . . and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”

It keeps repeating, “and God said”. God has such an amazing beyond this world computer system that instead of typing, He speaks to His computer. His computer feeds the data to his printer.

3D printer His computer has not just a 3D printer, but an 8D printer.

A printer that can print plants, trees, fruits, seeds and flowers with their feelings as well as the galaxies and their orbits.

Einstein the genius physicist said, “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.”

And “It is what we think we know that keeps us from learning.”

Although scientists are experimenting with 3D printers to print human organs, God‟s systems are slightly more advanced, to say the least. _________________ „We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren.

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in Next he launches fish, birds and sea creatures each made up of trillions highly complicated, invisible cells.

Each with feelings, instincts and yet all different one from the other.

Genesis 1:20-23 “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. . after their kind, . . And And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. . the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”

On the sixth day Genesis 1:24 “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.”

Finally His favorite part of the creation Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his h nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

God put a part of His soul into us. That was His masterpiece which He wanted to form with His Hands and not just speak into being.

As the artist that creates with his hands and puts his heart and soul into his artwork, so God has a special feeling of pride, love and admiration for what he has made with his hands.

God created us in the four dimensional realm, yet ‘He breathed into us the breath of life’, or He put within us a part of His soul which is from a different dimension altogether. Hence many of us feel like caged birds, because we are limited to these four dimensions, while our soul, our inner being is from a much higher realm.

In comparison; our soul is like the female egg cell that will stay lifeless and will never experience the fullness of what it was created for, unless it is fertilized. Nonetheless if we can accept God’s plan for salvation in Jesus, then the seed of His love is able to fertilize our soul-egg-cell and we can be born spiritually 1 and grow up as new creatures 2 that have found their purpose in life. 3 Better yet that empty spot in our soul will have found its true eternal soul mate and life becomes complete, with joy unspeakable.

• IN CONCLUSION: •

C.S. Lewis makes it clear and simple.

•

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him, ‘I am ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a good moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great moral teacher.

He has not left that open to us.

He did not intend to.”

Although these things have importance, it has cemented in people’s mind that my testimony is to be their saviour, helper and healer.

There is however much more, because besides being focused on assisting you, I have my Father’s overall plan in mind which is much larger than the day to day needs.

Dear Reader,

Hi, as I said before, I hope that I have got it completely wrong, but if we go by what Jesus said, “Watch out, I have told you before” then

let’s try to prepare by storing God’s Word in our hearts.

Someone said, “Don’t talk to me about Revelation. That just scares me.” Sorry, then we are reading it wrong, as the Word of God gives

us hope, strength and the faith to know that God is not 99.9% in control, but the absolute full 100% and nothing will happen on this earth, or

to one of His children without His specific permission to see if we will stay faithful to Him. Hope it is a help! Love to hear from you.

Overview timelines of the prophet Daniel concerning the Last Seven Years

CreateSpace Word The Little BookTemplates www.johanpeters.in

At present we feel safe in the protection of the Kingdom of God, the net.

Four times the Lord said,“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” 1 The Alpha, the beginning for us, is Genesis 1 – The Creation, or the start of the net of Gods Kingdom on the one side.

If we can “prove with theories” (theories that are not based on scientific facts) that creation is but an allegory, or is only a Sunday school story for little children, like Santa Claus, then we have eliminated the beginning side of the net that will bring in the fish. It is my hope and prayer that you will download the Alpha part, the Creation and study "In the Beginning . . . then What?", which gives a scriptural, scientific alternative to the many theories about our origins.

Next, for us as believers, is the Omega or the end, which is The Rapture or the Lord’s Return. I hope that 'the Little Book' has given you the answers about Omega Part, the Lord's Return, because if we can “prove with other theories” that Jesus was wrong about the rapture when he said that he will return “after the tribulation” 2 and we make it before, then when Jesus does not come before the tribulation many will fall away, as by then our faith is so weakened by the undermining theories about the Creation and the Rapture.

Consequently the net of God’s Kingdom has lost its strength and drawing power for those of us that go for the theories, rather than what is written.

Is He still the Alpha and Omega for us? “When the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?" 3, or will it all be gone to the wind, with the theories and "the wisdom of man that is such foolishness to Him." 4 91
