the greatest story ever told!

HOW THE END OF TIMES - END!

There are familiar themes in the Bible that are misunderstood. These misunderstandings skew our expectations - and judgement. It is thus dangerous for us to not dispel them. They are easily rectified through Evidence Profiles. We will go through one or two of the most pressing on this page.

The Great Tribulation

The Great Tribulation can be divided into two parts: the chickens coming home to roost, which just means that the bad governance decision world leaders have made over the years have come due - and world leaders can no longer kick the can down the road. For this reason, there is no nation, great and small that is not suffering from bad decisions in one or other way. The second way troublesome times will manifest themselves in the Great Tribulation is through acts of God. Let us take a closer look at each.

Reaping what we have Sown

Despite, all plans to get things under control, nations are in a state of paralysis - like dear caught in the headlights, they don't know which way to go, and what step to take.

Covid-19 is not an act of God. Like the train derailment in Palestine Ohio, it is just a matter of bad decision making. Quite apart from the pandemic itself, governments exacerbated the problem through bad policy decisions, often with no logical rational thinking behind them. The impact has been tremendous. As we go forward in time, these mistakes - and their consequences will only increase in frequency and severity.

When?

When does the Great Tribulation start - and what is the impetus? The Great Tribulation has already started. It started on November 2, 2019. You will find out later, why that date is significant.

Source

The catalyst for the onset of the Great Tribulation, is not a declaration of "Peace and Security." I will explain the Evidence Profile for that in detail, shortly. The beginnings of the Great Tribulation are a result of the angels letting go of the four winds, due to the slaves of our God are being sealed. (Re 7:3)

Acts of God

As the Great Tribulation goes from one difficulty to another, said difficulties will only increase until what we are facing is truly great - and life threatening. Of course, the whole book af Revelation is about such judgements and how they will manifest and intensify - over time. Through these plagues the anger of God will come to its finish:

As the troubles intensify people will beg to die - but Jehovah says death will be out of their reach:

Soon, when people think of Covid and our current problems, they will do so longingly. Viewing these times as the the good old days.

Our Sealing

This will be a short section. There is only one sealing!

That verse covers the whole spectrum of Anointing. There is nothing else which can be added - or subtracted from this definition. Notice that the "sealing" is only superseded by the "day of releasing" - not a day of a second sealing. The evidence that the idea of a second sealing is incorrect is subtle - yet powerful.

When do we "Put on Incorruption?

When do the holy ones put on incorruption? We know the answer. Only when we are changed. Some through a resurrection to incorruption; and others when our bodies are transformed from mortal bodies to immortal ones. Yet, there is another scripture, we do well to consider:

A second sealing contradicts this scripture, because it guarantees that we will not develop a "wicked heart" - under any circumstance! This overrides "free will." A second sealing would effectively mean we are incorruptible - even though we are still in the flesh! Yet, we know that the only time the anointed become incorruptible is through our spiritual bodies. It is not possible for holy ones to be deemed incorruptible before our resurrection/transformation. That would be the equivalent of Adam, after having sinned, being allowed to eat of the tree of life! It was to avoid just such a scenario that Adam and Woman were kicked out of the Garden of Eden!

Incorruption, simultaneously requires immortality. You cannot separate the two! There is no human who is incorruptible, but mortal, or corruptible, but immortal! So, it is just as Ephesians 4:30 put it. We get an anointing and that seals us until the day of our "releasing" by ransom.

A Valley VS A Mountain

We have already covered how the third administration is responsible for gathering the nations into the Valley of Jehoshaphat - for judgement:

And ...

How does Jehovah gather these nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat? Through The Life - the administration that gathers all things! But that is not their final destination. The Valley of Jehoshaphat is not the final destination for both the righteous - and the unrighteous! The righteous must find themselves on Mount Zion - as we have already seen. Similarly, the war of Armageddon is not fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And it is here that a difference must be noted.

Getting onto Mount Zion

It is easy to understand how people get onto Mount Zion so that they can gain salvation. They must grab on to the skirt of a Jew and hold on as tightly as possible:

The holy ones are tasked with the responsibility of being "the light of the nations, for you to be a salvation to the ends of the earth." (Isa 49:6; Ac 13:46,47) It is in response to this work that willing repentant ones will exercise faith and gather to Jehovah. (Zec 8:20-23) As Jehovah promises: it is during the era of judgements, that he "will change the language of the peoples to a pure language." This has the affect of "all of them" then being able to call on Jehovah. (Zep 3:9) Let me give you the full text, for context:

In this scripture, we get four key variables all described chronologically: Jehovah rising; the gathering work of Ephesians 1:10; Jehovah's mighty judgements being poured down on the nations; and the subsequent development: "For then, I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, so that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, to serve him shoulder to shoulder." That means the "many peoples and mighty nations" coming to Jerusalem to beg for Jehovah's favour "in those days," when taken collectively: form the "ten men out of all the languages of the nations [that] will take hold, yes, they will take firm hold of the robe of a Jew, saying 'we want to go with you, for we have heard that God is with you people.'" (Zec 8:20-23) The two developments go together. Before the holy ones gather the nations together to experience Jehovah's judgements - they cannot hear "that God is with you people." For that to happen, we must bring the Intellectuals to nothing - through The Life. Since there is an established inverse relationship between Intellectuals and Jehovah's holy ones, we realize that our bringing them "to nothing," means we are ascending. This ascension is what is described in Isaiah 2 and Micah 4. I trust it all fits together. The stone must turn into a large mountain. And the large mountain must grow to fill the whole Earth - as per Daniel's words. This is how Daniel's vision is fulfilled, as explained by the other scriptures we have looked at. Of course, much of the Bible is about this. All of Isaiah, in various places attests to this rise. You can read chapters 52 and then, from 60 onwards.

Mount Zion, "bring[ing] to nothing" all opposition to Jehovah, will have the effect of Mount Zion being elevated above the mountains. This prominence will shine a spotlight on Jehovah - and attract repentant, and now faithful ones to his worship. But how does the immense suffering of the Great Tribulation make this happen?

"Only Terror Will Make them Understand"

That is taken from Isaiah 28:19, and it gives a very important lesson into human behaviour. People don't change when they are not under pressure. Here is Proverbs:

This applies to a vast swathe of humanity. So how will millions of people come into The Truth/The Life during the Great Tribulation? By reacting positively, when under great test. It should be known to us all - that the purpose of the Great Tribulation is to put to the test, all humans on Earth. Remember, Jehovah does not judge us on what we think - only on what we do. Here are two scriptural texts that show, how it will work:

There is no one on Earth who will enter God's new world, without having proved themselves to Jehovah. And the opposite is also true: there is no one will be killed without having had the opportunity to repent of their ways. The central hinge that differentiates one pivot from the other is The Life and its gathering of all things "in the Heavens, and ... on the Earth!" (Eph 1:10) So, if only terror will make them understand, and everyone will go through terror, how and when, will the righteous ones be separated from the unrighteous ones? The book of Job, gives us the full answer. It is the second of our two scriptures:

Speaking of good people, as can be discerned from the context, Jehovah shows how they fall into trouble. He also shows when he alerts them to their wrong course: it is while they are undergoing the consequences of their wrong actions. They, then, have one of two options: either repent and obey; or stubbornly "harbour resentment," and "die without knowledge." Surprisingly - or perhaps not - the "godless at heart" choose to "harbour resentment!" Instead of mending their ways they opt to:

Whereas, the rightly disposed learn from their hardships, and make the needed corrections. This is what we call repentance. (2Ti 2:25)

All humans are imperfect, and make mistakes. But the afflictions of the Great Tribulation are not meant for the righteous, but misguided. Thus, Jehovah shows them the way out - "during their affliction." That point is very important. So the hour of test is coming upon the "entire inhabited Earth." However, those who humbly respond with repentance, will win Jehovah's favour!

Thus, the righteous will have the opportunity to wash "their robes" and make "them white in the blood of the Lamb.":

This key passage helps us to understand that before the rise of The Life - there is no "great crowd" as there are no judgements. The difference between the great crowd and the other sheep (for those who know their Bibles - get that free course), is that the great crowd are right-hearted people who have gone through the great tribulation. It doesn't matter if they were believers or unbelievers beforehand. Another way to put this is that if someone was of the other sheep before the great tribulation, they would need to become part of the great crowd to make it past the great tribulation. What, then, is the advantage of being in The Truth - all this time? A great deal, in every way! Firstly, we enjoy the highest quality of life. But, more than that, our practice in living a Christian life course, has conditioned us to be better able to navigate the difficulties of the great tribulation! Nevertheless, both the other sheep and ones who are currently unbelievers, will have to continue to apply themselves in washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb in order to have the opportunity to be part of the great crowd! Incidentally, the great crowd washes their "robes" in the blood of the Lamb; while the anointed wash their 'bodies.' (Tit 2:13,14 Eph 5:26,27) That is the only way we can have no blemishes. A blemish is different from a spot. Spots are external. Blemishes manifest from the inside out. The only way to remove them is to be healthy, cleansed - from the inside out. Being blemish free is not an effect you can produce by washing your clothes. That detail is profound - and an important one to put in the back of your mind. That is the good people. What of the bad?

The Last Stage Before Armageddon

As the Great Tribulation intensifies, and Jehovah takes over from the "chickens coming home to roost scenario," we see that the sufferings of unrepentant mankind turn into direct plagues from him. Now I have told you that no one yet understands the intricate details of Revelation, but we can contemplate the plagues - and their dire consequences. The reason that Jehovah can bring such directed exacting plagues on mankind, is that, he knows their fears. Hence - as he has always promised - he will bring upon them all the terrors that they fear most! The "great," in Great Tribulation, is not hyperbole - indeed, it is an understatement. I hope you fall on the right side of Christ - literally!

Bret Weinstein once made a fantastic point about the nature of conservatives versus liberals, that I now cannot find the video of. I will paraphrase. He was lamenting that liberals can negotiate around cooperation - and work together there, but they cannot agree on the same ideas. They have a "let me be me, and I'll let you be you" attitude, with the understanding that we can work together in a coalition. Now, here is the main point. Conservatives, he said, are the exact opposite! They all have the same beliefs and hash out any differences there, but they will not cooperate with each other if their interests are different. It is this variable that leads to intractable wars that spawn never ending conflict. It is that point, that now becomes our main point of interest.

Kings from the East

On December 2, 1823 U.S. President James Monroe announced a new policy that 30 years later would become known as the Monroe Doctrine. It was a response, from a then, fledgling new nation called the United States of America - worried about the resurgence of old European powers in the Western Hemisphere, in the Americas: both south and north. Basically, it was a claim on the Western Hemisphere: don't interfere with us, and we won't interfere with you! Later, in 1904 Theodore Roosevelt added the Roosevelt Corollary, that was portrayed as an interpretation of the original Monroe Doctrine, but, was in fact, an expansion of it. A lot had changed in the meantime, and by the time of the Roosevelt Corollary America had become a world power. Thus, the Roosevelt Corollary was closely aligned with what was known as Roosevelt's Big Stick policy. So, it was now a case of speak loudly, and carry a big stick to back it up. The United States was long prophesied in the Bible, not only to rise, but to rise to become a world power. More than that it is the prophesied last world power to ever exist. So, the knowledge that the United States is in the last stage of the arc of Empires - the Age of Decadence - tells us that the Devil's system of things as a whole, is in the last stage of its moot existence!

The Monroe Doctrine is the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. For these and other reasons, aside from the Civil War, the U.S. has never fought a war on its home territory - despite having participated in so many. Not least among the reasons limiting its enemies from attacking and staging war on U.S. soil is the fact that the country is surrounded by oceans on two sides, and subservient neighbours to the north and south. Impenetrable.

Or, is it? As you read this, world events are taking shape to fulfill the Bible prophecies which are yet to be realized, in this system of things. One such prophecy speaks of the Monroe Doctrine being breached and the kings from the East being freely able to attack. Before the war in Ukraine, you would have had no real clue as to where "the East" started from. Now, everyone, even if they are not Bible scholars, knows what the "East" - is east of!

Here is the prophecy:

Already, we see this once casual alliance formalizing into a formal coalition for future cooperation. Just last month, Russia and China held joint military exercises with South Africa off the coast of South Africa. The key development in this scripture is a two part reality - both of which are vital to understand. The first, is simple: with the fall of ancient Babylon, Jehovah gave Cyrus the invading King (in this case, his anointed one), the strategy for how to cross the moat that surrounded Babylon and from which, it derived much of its sense of security. That moat was the ancient equivalent to the Monroe Declaration! The second detail to take note of, is that this time: it is Jehovah's angel that dries up the "great river," or barrier! In other words, it's not just a prophecy that such and such would happen (as was the case with Cryus); here the fulfillment of the prophecy is itself a supernatural act! Put another way, the development that will alter world history forever, will seem impossible from a human standpoint - until it happens. It is a supernatural plague!

Unadulterated Panic

This development will have the effect of creating pure existential anxiety - for the whole world. It represents an intractable problem: one that cannot be solved. Not by any humans, for the reasons I have already explained. As Bret Weinstein said, Conservatives will fight to the death - without any room for compromise or negotiation, if they feel their core principles have been insulted, looked down upon, or attacked. The kings of the East will not be willing to accommodate the West! This would be the war to end all wars - and the world. But, remember Armageddon is not a human war - it's a Space war! That is, it is a war of Jehovah's Armies against humans. How, then does that develop?

The Short Walk to Captivity

When Jehovah dries up the "great river," he is setting the scene for civil war among Satan's armies. You will remember that in every prophecy that he makes about this time from Haggai to Ezekiel and many others, besides, he always mentions how, in the invading army, he will turn the sword of one man against his brother - and they will all kill each other! How does that develop? There is a subplot that I have not often mentioned: the nations are actually ruled by Satan and his demons:

Through different mechanisms and political philosophies, Devil gives the facade that humans are self-governing - when nothing could be further from the Truth:

If the recognized human rulers, are only such in appearance - who is actually calling the shots?

It should be obvious to you, since baryonic matter does not interfere with Inzintian entities, that the "Prince of Persia" who was able to stop a powerful angel in his tracks - is also a spirit being! Here is further confirmation that it is Devil and the demons who rule the world:

If you understand that, you understand why only the anointed holy ones in general and the third administration of Christ before we get to Heaven, specifically, can take the fight to the demons: its an Inzintian battle! (2Co 10:2-4) It is for this reason that Jehovah's approved way for the Great Crowd to gain salvation is to cling on as tightly as they can to his chosen ones! The other sheep are under the mistaken assumption that they are waiting for the Great Tribulation, or Armageddon itself. What are you going to do with those realities: they are above your powers to resolve - or negotiate! The "creation is waiting with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God!" (Ro 8:19) Which "revealing" is what I have published to you! We will fight on your behalf. Our intense training from Jehovah - much more intense than any Navy Seal training - includes your salvation. You have nothing to worry about! Jehovah is here! But as for the immediate matter at hand: that is how, the intractable problem of conservatives at war with each other, gets resolved. Temporarily. Just like the cause (the drying up of the great river), was a supernatural act; so too the resolution of this no-man-left-standing war, depends on a supernatural act. Jehovah calls Satan's bluff - forcing him to show his Keyser Soze hand!

So, The Life gathers everyone for judgement, by overturning "strongly entrenched things," by "overturning reasonings and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God." It's all about knowledge and science. That's why Jehovah has saved those revelations for last! And though The Life - to bring "every thought into captivity and make it obedient to the Christ!" (2Co 10:4,5) As soon as the crop permits. (Mr 4:29; 2Co 10:6) That's "the greatly diversified wisdom of God" in action! (Eph 1:10; 3:10)

Thereafter, there is a sifting work, where all the unrighteous are put on the left of Christ and the righteous, on his right - as dependent on how they treated and responded to his anointed brothers. (Mt 25:31-46) The righteous will go up to Mount Zion for that is the source of information and contact with Jehovah, while the "godless" will continue to suffer unimaginable pains. (I love that word, "Godless," because it doesn't indicate wickedness as much as it lays bare ... irreverence for God. Many so-called "nice" people will die, not because they are wicked, but because they are Godless! Past a certain point: Godlessness - becomes wickedness!) I must stress that "no flesh" could survive the Great Tribulation - so severe will its intensity be! These are still early days! However, Jehovah will cut it short - due to His holy ones! Otherwise, even they could not survive it.

As The Life continues to gather the Great Crowd on Mount Zion (Ac 13:46,47; Zec 8:20-23; Isa 2:1-4; Mic 4:1-3), Devil will be forced to delay the self-destruction of his system of things, by kicking the can down the road - one last time! This, he does with the "inspired expressions" that collect all his cohorts for the final war - Armageddon.

"Peace & Security" at Last!

It is only at this point that world leaders, elated they have averted instant existential disaster, proclaim: "Peace and security!":

We highlight one last important detail. Why is the global doom that comes upon world leaders after this declaration described as: "sudden destruction" that visits them "instantly ... just like birth pains on a pregnant woman?" It is because the effect must match the cause:

That simultaneous groaning, panting and gasping from Jehovah is the fulfillment of Haggai 2:6:

That utterance from Jehovah, is the one-time event that the holy spirit assures us will destroy everything, but, God's Kingdom - that is, everything but Mount Zion! (Ps 125:1):

We know it will destroy everything in Satan's world, not because we have an itemized list of what will be destroyed - but because everything that has "been made" will be destroyed. That refers to things made with hands, that is, of this creation! (Heb 9:11 versus 11:10) The contrast between the two entities spoken of in the scriptures just cited stand in contrast to each other, because one was created by man, and the other by Jehovah! That distinction is what will decide what is "shaken" to annihilation at Armageddon; and what will stand forevermore!

Mount Megiddo

Mount Megiddo is more popularly known as Armageddon. I will not say anything more about that - for we all know how that war will end. The only salient point to make is that: the anointed will be around until the battle is finished. And - only at that point: will we all be changed and meet Christ in the air ... this will only happen "during the last trumpet" - the trumpet that signals the war is over. This changing to spirit life is for both those who have fallen asleep in death, and for those of us who would still be surviving alive at that time! (1Co 15:51-55; 22-26; 1Th 4:15-17)
