The Republican Meltdown is more than meets the eye.

The Crumbling of the GOP aka the Republican party Is not a light matter as far as history and Bible prophecy has shown.... The Video from MSNBC chronicles a pivotal point in America's History and by extension the world . 

To say this is big deal is a understatement of enormous proportions in the eyes of student of Bible prophecy .Even if you are not a student of Bible prophecy or a Christian of any sought but a citizen of this planet ,there are some things you ought to be aware of. 

Why ?  your life , our lives are about to change very soon. Before you look at the video let me elaborate.

Using the King James bible which most believe is the most accurate transcription of sacred scriptures.

The Bible shows in Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

In Bible prophecy a Beast  Represents something special ! What does it represent?
Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

So the two beasts one and two in Revelation 13 are kingdoms. The Second "Beast" in Verse 11 is making an image to the first ,in other words beast two is copying the history of beast one.

Identifying the second beast the one that comes up out of the earth is crucial .
Where is "the earth" or what represents "the Earth"?

Notice beast one came up out of the sea, if we can find what the sea represents then we can figure out what the earth represent for the second beast.

Look at Revelation 17  Verse  which says "15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

In the Bible seas and waters equate to a very populated place, however "the earth" is decoded as the opposite ;that is a sparsely populated place.

Thus in Revelation 13:11 this Beast rise up out of a very sparsley populated place, a new place. We can conclude this to be the United States of America where the founding fathers of that Land fled from Europe a populated place on earth ,the Old World, to this unpopulated haven from kingly rule and Papal persecution.

History furnishes us with the facts that they came over in 1620 from London landing on a place call Plymouth  see the evidence here .

Thus we are led to believe the Beast in Revelation 13:11 To be none other than The United States of America.

The Capital point of appreciating the prophetic significance of the video in the News below is understanding the feature of the beast under investigation "Two Horns". 

What does Horns represent in the Bible and why does the bible points our attention to the fact that it has two and not one?

Horns
Habakkuk 3:4  And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

The bible as its own interpreter tells us that horns equals power...This principle is illustrated in the following scriptures.
Daniel 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

We observe that when the horns of the Beast Daniel 8:7 which is a kingdom by the way was broken its power was lost (and there was no power in the ram to stand before him).

So America had two things special that gave it its power its strength as a Nation.
History proves its strength, its powers to be Protestantism and Republicanism .






As a Lamb
Bible tells us who is the lamb.
John 1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Christ is the Lamb according to the Bible so the Beast power has Christian features in its beginning. History clearly articulates this fact. The book "Great Controversy"  puts it nicely. 

It says :
"The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as “coming up” in 1798. 
Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that “all men are created equal” and endowed with the inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth"  
{The Great Controversy page 441.1}     



The video from Morning Joe aptly describe a crumbling of The Republican Party in which the principles of The Constitution is supposed to be most evidently reflected.

The pivotal point 
In the Bible When a power falls another power takes its place ,in sacred history all the time one power gives way to another,one falls and and another stands up,one gives way to another..
The bible says concerning America the second Beast in Revelation 13 :11 That the Lamb will speak as a dragon. Nations speak by thier laws, The dragon spirit is one of opression.
But note the following verse in the the chapter verse 12, It reads thus:

12 And he (USA) exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.


Who is the first beast and how did it exercise it's power ? By answering this we will have an additional clue as to what will happen when the Republican Party is made of none effect,We will understand clearly Who the Republican party will give way to.

So finally power of the first beast is seen where? Lets back up to the previous Verses to see the First Beast's power of which the second Beast America will make an image or copy from History past

Revelation 13: verse 4
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

The first Beast's / Kingdom's list of powers:

1. This Beast / Kingdom Receives Worship.
2. None can make war with The Beast / Kingdom .
3. This Beast / Kingdom speaking Great things and commit blasphemies as bible show is to claim to forgive sins as God (Mark 2:7)  & claims it is God on earth John 10:33)
4. This Beast / Kingdom had power for 42 months ie 1260 days ( based on yr for day Principle in Eze 4:6 & Num 14;34 This Beast / Kingdom ruled for 1260 literal years).
5. This  Beast / kingdom  wared against the Saints ...Christians . 
6. This Beast / Kingdom not only to warred against but overcame them( Christians) during this 1260 yrs When they did not obey its dogmas and traditions.
7. This Beast / Kingdom  took over from its predecessor the Roman empire and had power over the then known world.

This is none other than the Papal Roman Religious system that exist today. 

So who will make and image to The Papal Roman Religious System?
Its America, but notice that this second Beast does miracles and  is a replica of the first Beast (The Papal Roman System ) ?It not Just plain old United States but the Protestants of The United States Of America).

That which they fled from in the 1700s as protestants they will imitate, the bible says form an image. Protestantism will change. The Religious communities will back and support  Politics with Political Religious  men who will take over the Republican Party .
The news clip above may be chronicling the decline of the Republicans as we know it to give way to a stricter form of the party lurking in the background to take its chance.

Remember we said that Protestants makes and image ,a replica of the Roman Religious system? How did The Papal Roman Religious system come into being in the first place?

It was the Caesars of Rome that gave way to the Bishops of Rome When Rome was falling.
When Rome as a Political power was falling due to the The Arab–Byzantine wars.
The Islamic wars Weaken Rome to the point where the Bishops of Rome ascended in power within the Roman empire..
Here we see the repeat of Sacred History. Where the alliances have world have been weakened by Islamic wars. And in America there is a vital call to go back to "Moral" standards. But when Religion takes hold of the State power which is apostasy by the way . The temptation for complete control is unavoidable .Religious laws will be put into place to dictate conscience.Then persecution will follow. 

Daniel 12:1 Is about to go down.

Protestants are doing two things at the same time. 
One,they are getting more involved in Government directly or by strongly influencing the election outcome. 

see the following...  Donald Trump Vowed to Close the Gap Between Church and State

Two ,They the protestant churches  are returning to the mother church and are uniting under her leadership and direction see the following . https://www.kairos2017.com/ 
and also http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2017/08/25/pope,_wcc_leaders_talk_ecumenism,_ecology,_economic_justice/1332849.

This is unprecedented in Protestantism to the point where protestants have joined in the proclamation that the protest will be declared over come October 31st 2017...  

As far as we know Rome has not change,but protestants have change what make them protestants in the first place has change in thier eyes.  

Does God change? Was the protestant reformation a mistake?

All in all the News media chronicles a step in the great process of sacred History.

The next pope

Its been some days now three days now  to be exact we have heard the news of the sudden resignation of pope Benedict XVI.
We have heard in the news that the middle of march is the deadline set to select the new bishop of Rome.That makes it three(3) weeks from now that we will have the leader of both the state the (Vatican) and the Church (Catholicism) will have its king sitting on the throne in the Vatican. It would be prudent to note that Catholic means Universal church keep this in mind.

I have been studying Daniel 11:40-45 for the past four years now and  it has proven truly to line up with the history of 1798 up to this time. Thus far one verse has predicted not almost but dead on all the historical events that tell us we are in the closing moments of earth's history. The reason why i have confidence in one verse ie verse 40 that its accurate is because we have seen the history from Daniel 11:1 yes verse one to 39 as accurate as the sun's position in the sky. Gods word we can trust.
While I am not making any prophetic forecast i have reason to believe that the next Pope could come from the United States of America. I could be wrong. Maybe the pope coming from anywhere in the world will still lead to the things we know concerning America in Revelation 13. However the time is ripe for Pope coming from America because all the entities in bible prophecy are ready to fulfil their roles.
  A complete study on Daniel 11:40-45 could be found  here

The Bible says Dan 11:41  HE shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

We are going to deal with this one phrase "HE shall enter also into the glorious land"

The two links above tells us who the "HE" in verse 41 is the King Of  The North. We have ascertain from the Bible that the King of the North at the end of the world is the Papacy see the links above.

Now Holy Scripture says He shall enter into the the GLORIOUS LAND in verse 41.



WHERE ON EARTH TODAY IS THE GLORIOUS LAND.

The word for Glory Strong's Hebrew is H6643
צבי
tsebı̂y
tseb-ee'
From H6638 in the sense of prominence; splendor (as conspicuous); also a gazelle (as beautiful): - beautiful (-ty), glorious (-ry), goodly, pleasant, roe (-buck).

Lets look in the bible to see  where we can find in ancient times by its characteristics we can determine the modern Glorious land.

• PLEASANT LANDS .
• GOODLY LANDS.
• PLACES OF PROMINENCE.

HISTORY AND BIBLE PROPHECY TELLS US WHERE THE GLORIOUS LAND WAS

Dan 8:8  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. (ie East,West, North and South)
Daniel 8:9. And out of one of them (winds) came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward
the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].

The book of Daniel,chapter 2 tells us the kingdoms that would rule the earth until the end of time.
The History goes like this ,Heads of Gold Babylon, Chest and arms of Silver Medio Persia, Belly and thighs of brass Greece, then Legs of Iron Pagan Rome,Then Iron and clay feet of Papal Rome up to the papal removal as a world power in 1798. This was the deadly wound described in Revelation 13 inflicted on the first beast ,the great and terrible beast. The toes in Daniel 2  represent Modern Rome, the system that resembles old ancient Rome (Iron kingdom), but has the influence of a church (Iron mixed with clay kingdom) is where we see the world divided into 10 regions.This is the New World Order according to Bible.

Daniel 11, the chapter that we are now looking over goes through most of that history starting from Grecian Empire under the rule of Alexander the Great.  Daniel 8:8 shows t the Grecian kingdom with the Notable Horn Alexamder himself . Then his kingdom Greece was divided into four (4) warring factions under Alexander's four great Generals historically know as Lysimacous ,Cassander Seleucius and  Ptolemy (P silent), this explanation is given in the follwing verses if you mouse over
(Daniel 8:20, Daniel 8:21,  Daniel 8:22,  Daniel 8:23,  Daniel 8:24).This is how Greece under the Great Alexander's Grecian kingdom came to its end as a ruling kingdom on the earth.


The kingdom that followed is Pagan Rome, the Little horn he magnify its self.
Dan 8:9  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.
Dan 8:10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan 8:11  Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host.

This is Rome pagan that persecuted the disciples. Saul was the instrument under Rome that persecuted the (stars of heaven the apostles and followers of Christ) Acts7:58 and Act8:1,Acts 8:3, Acts 9:1,Dan 12:3
It was Rome pagan via the Roman Caesars that magnify itself above the Prince of the Host (Christ) to kill him in John 19:10

It was pagan Rome that Waxed Great to south Egypt ,towards the East Syria and towards the place that we have been trying to defined as the PLEASANT LAND Palestine in Judea. Now that we  have the events and individual leading up to this Pleasant land we can be sure of its exactness based on the correct historical walk that we just took.
The scripture and History agree that pagan Rome did conquer these three areas at its ascendancy.

1. Egypt “toward the south”
2. Syria “toward the east”
3. Judea “toward the pleasant land”

Bible foretold this would happen after the Babylonian captivity  that Gods people will settled down in the pleasant land  Judea. Now note the characteristics of the pleasant land,with this information we can see where on the planet is the Modern day PLEASANT LAND.

Jeremiah 3:18, 19
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north (BABYLON) to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Exodus 6:7, 8.
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that
I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I [am] the LORD.

Daniel 11:16.
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

The Goodly land is where the Children of God were given was a place of rest and peace, It was a place free from the bondage of torment and slavery where they could worship the God of heaven in peace.It was the the pleasant land the Land where all longed for.

• United States America is where most people in the world wanted to migrate to.
• The USA is a nation of immigrants, people love to go to that land for the American Dream.
• It is USA that many  found solace and peace away from the bondage of Kingly rule and Papal persecution.
• It is the USA that many ran to practice free religion under its great constitutional decree,a document that epitomises freedom both civil and religious and justice for all.
• It is in America where the great beacon of protestantism  burns brightest.
• It is in America where all protestant headquaters are based the USA is the citadel for protestantism.
• It is the America that is represented in Bible prophecy as the Earth (land) that swallowed up the flood of persecution that came after the woman (the church) out of the dragons mouth (Satan). 

GOD SHOWS THE END BY SHOWING US THE BEGINNING ISAIAH 46:9,10 

For Papal Rome to ascend the throne of the earth for the deadly wound to be heal it has to conquer three  geographical obstacles. God shows the end by telling us what the beginning was like .In the beginning of  Roman system Pagan Rome overcame three geographical obstacles.
Daniel  Dan 8:9  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. 
Hysterically and prophetically in the Dan 8:9 Rome took out three obstacles to gain the ascendancy on the earth.
Rome did this twice in past histories also in bible you can prove these times.

1st History: Pagan Rome removed three(3) obstacles

1. Egypt “toward the south”
2. Syria “toward the east”
3. Judea “toward the pleasant land”

2nd History: Papal Rome removed three obstacles Removal of the Arian religions
This time via the help of a STATE power,namely Clovis the king of France who became the sword of the papacy setting him upon the throne of the earth  from 538- 1798=1260 days  of Revelation 12:14, Dan_7:25,Daniel 12:7. incidentally it was France that set the Papacy up and France that took him down

1. Huruli.
2. Ostrgoths.
3. Vandals

The Bible says on the Testimony of two witnesses a thing is established. Deut 19:15 ,Deut 17:6 Gen41:32,Heb 10:28.Thus we can safely use this Bible principle that the 1st and second History gives us details of the 3rd History which is yet future. 

Hence History number 3 tells us about Modern Rome .that is Rome in our day.

Modern Rome Must overcome three(3) obstacles.This information is found as well in Daniel 11:40-45 

1. King of the South ( Atheism) 1989 fall of Communism , via John Paul .Accomplished
2. Glorious Land.(American or Protestantism) headquateredif there is such a word in America (future) 
3. Egypt  finally.   Note Egypt represents the World or worldly in Bible prophecy.

Thus the next victim of the Papacy would be the GLORIOUS LAND where the last bastion of  protestantism is headquarterd.
Most protestant churches have already shown allegiance to Rome and some are even responding to the call to come back home to mother Rome,but to have the Papal Head from America sit on the thrown of the Vatican is a step towards the protestant America being overthrown. The papacy will see it as conquest to have the pontifical General come from the United states.
Revelation 13 shows a lamb like Beast with two horns or two instrument of its power, namely Republicanism and Protestantism. This is Freedom of the Republic without Kingly rule and secondly Freedom of Religion specifically protestantism.

But the bible talks of a beast that gives power to the great and terrible beast in Revelation13 that cause the Great and Terrible Beast wounds to Heal.
How is this done ? By forming an IMAGE TO THE BEAST.  You can only form an image to something by forming a replica of its defining characteristics. The Papacy has always been govern as a church and state power . The Papal Sea is church Craft, the Vatican is its territory and state. The Pope hold reigns of both Priest and King.This was once the case with him being such over the whole world and when this was done the blood of Bible believing Christians flow. Heretics (those who do not acknowledge the doctrines and dictates of Rome were behead, flail,burn at the stake,put in prison and suffer all manure of torture too gruesome to pen.  The Joining of church and State by any country will form the image to the beast.And that second beast in Revelation 13 will be the one to cause the deadly wound of the Great and terrible to heal.

Who is this second BEAST POWER IN REVELATION 17 THAT CAUSES THE DEADLY WOUND OF THE PAPAL RULE TO BE HEALED.

Rev 13:11   another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Bible says :Rev_13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev_13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

With the lamb like Beast being America,the Pope being American that should make the Dan 11:41 the latter part seamless. The Sunday law a religious law pushed by protestant America under the loving care of an American Pope can certainly move quickly the final events of Earth's history and an image to be the beast is easily formed which will empower once again Papal Rule and Kingly dominion.

Certainly America is speaking like a dragon at this time via its laws and this is what we expect, for a nation speaks via its laws and its ability to CAUSE..as Rev 13:12. All the infrastructure is in place.The laws,Detention centres,taking away of the liberties of the people,even the chief justices are all Catholic except one.
The question is are you ready, have you been cleansed from sin, have you given all to Jesus.The only ONE that can save you or keep you saved is Christ in the heart. No other weapon can prevent the works of Satan to have its way .We know from history when the Papacy sitteth on the throne of the earth persecution starts on Bible believing Christians who will then be named as in the past histories as Heretics.

He will enter into the Glorious Land as Daniel 11:41 says.The "how "is probably what we will see in the next 3 weeks. If the Pope is an American and one American , if he is selected the Papacy can bring down Protestantism easy from that point on. the Seat of Protestant America will easily pay homage to an pope of American origin . Protestant who are not protesting anymore is already stretching its hand across the gulf to clasp hands with the Papacy , A Vatican II influenced protestants will easily give over to the "New Catholic Evangelistic thrust. "All the World will wonder after the Beast ".  We wait and see

Even if the Pope is not an American Bible prophecy remains accurate while details human reasoning remain sketchy.
perfect peace.

Bible tells the truth about the Islam current news just proves it true

The Darkening of the Sun And Air. the history of the 5th trumpet  In Revelation 9 which is the Saracen armies of Arabia is repeating even today in Egypt as the article below shows Christianity is blotted out when Islam reigns. But before you read the article written on the 14th September lets decode some prophetic symbols.
Bible says in
Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a STAR fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the KEY of the bottomless pit. Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a SMOKE out of the pit, as the SMOKE of a great furnace; and the SUN and the AIR were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Rev9 DECODED line upon line.
1st Woe(5th trumpet) Revelation 9 Note this is real History Shown in prophecy in
which Islam know as the 1st Great Jihad.
Islam Restrained then loose marks the beginning of the 1st woe
Rev 9:1- THE KEY.. Rome was weaken by the Persians battle.Now Mohamed had
favourable circumstance to be a contender in attacking Rome.  The ‘Key’ of the Bottomless Pit was the Battle of Nineveh in the year 628. It was a battle between the East and the West; a battle between Rome and Persia. Rome and Persia were both too powerful for the Mohametans to overcome. Without getting into too much detail in the story of this battle, Mohamed waited until there was a war between Rome and Persia.
Rome made the very perilous journey, after being subjugated by Persia. It agreed to the demands of Persia in order to buy time. So Rome bought time and took this very perilous journey around the
7
Black Sea into the very back-yard of Persia and struck. The Persian army was destroyed, but it didn’t help Rome, because the Roman army was so depleted that this was the ‘key’—the battle that unlocked Mohametism upon the earth. Rome’s armies were destroyed; Persia’s armies were destroyed; nothing was in the way now of Islam—this was the ‘Key’, the Battle of Nineveh.

Verse 1: BOTTOMLESS PIT= (Satanic) (lies)(darkness) a place of obscurity .
Job 33:30=Pit a dark place of the dead.Psalms 28:1= pit a place of silence,Revelation 20:2= pit a place of circumstantial prevention.
Verse1: BOTTOMLESS PIT= Abussos= Abyss= Dessert of Arabia in 1800 maps.
Verse 2: SUN = Malachi 4:2= Righteousness . Daniel 12:3 = Righteousness.2 Peter 1:19=
Day Star= Christ= Sun of Righteousness. THE GOSPEL

Verse 2: AIR = John 3:8 Air = Wind = Holy spirit The gospel suffered because of
Islamic lies. ISLAM cannot save it is error. Where ever Islam was taught Gospel was blocked out (blotted out)

Verse 2: DARKENED by SMOKE = Revelation 8:4 smoke = prayers or worship.Religion or worship. Darkness= Matthew 6:23 sin or error

Rev 9:3
Verse3 the LOCUST = Joel 1:3-4,Deut 28:38 = Attacks sunndly and Destructively Jeremiah 46:23 = many,innumerable

Verse 4: HURT NOT THE TREES OR GREEN THINGS = Seal or protection on the true
church (Waldeseans etc) . Mohamed orders armies not to burn crops fields or let the
sword be stain with the blood of women and children.
But look closely this is the same language use in Sealing of Revelation 7:3 hurt not the
trees till we have sealed the servant of our God in thier forehead. Who was protected
from in the time of the Islamic christian war ? History shows the true church of waldensians church, Albigensians, Huguenots  some orthodox churches in Africa. many churches in Asia
as far as Japan shows historically they kept the Sabbath commandment and all the
commandments. These are those that were not hurt .The Catholic monks however were the
victim of Mohammed's instruction to his Saracen Wariours "As you go on, you will  find
some religious persons that live retired in monasteries, who propose to themselves to  serve God that way. Let them alone, and  neither kill them, nor destroy their monasteries. " And you will find another sort of people that belong to the synagogue of Satan, who have shaven crowns (Catholic leaders) ; be sure you cleave their skulls, and give them no quarter till they either turn Mohammedans or pay tribute.
Rev 9:4  And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Rev 9:5  And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Verse 5)   5 MONTHS. Ezekil 4:6 ,Num 14:34 a year for a day     The time of this scourge War) lasted exactly 150 yrs. Islam terrorize Rome from 1299-1449 AD
Verse 7 FEARLESS HORSES Arabian horses.Fast and fearless
Verse 8 Hair of Women rabian men grow long hair.
Verse 10 Tails like scorpions – also Isaiah 9:15, Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the
third part These are Prophets speaking lies .Imam leads from home in Jihads (he is
behind) power in tails. .
Verse 11 Abaddon & Apollyon - means Destruction and is found in Rev 9:11 ,(911 )
defines Islam.
Verse12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Inside the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria

Last Synagogue in Egypt Shuts Down

September 14, 2012  •  From theTrumpet.com

In another victory for radical Islam, Egypt’s last remaining Jewish synagogue, located in the northern city of Alexandria, has shut its doors.

“The Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue, which had operated in Alexandria, was the last functioning center of Jewish life in the country,” Gatestone Institute wrote last week. “It is now clear that its cavernous halls, built in the 19th century, will not be open to worshipers hoping to mark Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services this year.”
Egyptian police say the closure is because they can no longer guarantee its protection during the short span of time it will be open for the Jewish holy days. Can’t? Or won’t?
With no official meeting place for the Jews to celebrate their high holy days in Egypt, the closure brings an end to the final vestiges of Jewish life in the country. It is the culmination of many years of slow suffocation of the Jewish people. Its roots can be traced back to 1947, when Egyptian law mandated that 90 percent of workers had to be Egyptian—effectively shutting down Jewish commerce.
Historically, the city of Alexandria has been a symbolic haven for Jews outside of the holy land. Josephus records that beginning in the third century b.c., 120,000 Jews were taken to Alexandria by the Egyptian ruler Ptolemy. Shortly thereafter, two of Alexandria’s five districts were given to the Jews to practice their religion within the city. Even as late as 1947, there were well over 50,000 Jews remaining in Egypt. Over the next half century, however, that number continued to dwindle. Just a few years ago, the estimated count was 100 and plummeting. The modern exodus out of Egypt is virtually complete.
The Jews are not the only ones feeling the brunt of the so-called Arab Spring in Egypt. Both Catholics and Copts have also been persecuted and attacked, forcing many to flee. While the closure of the last remaining synagogue in Egypt may not be a violent attack, it nonetheless clearly shows that Jews are no longer welcome in Egypt.

London, England (CNN) -- As the United Kingdom braces to receive one of the best-known and most controversial figures on the planet, Pope Benedict XVI, a question hangs over the state visit: Why is he coming?

The leader of the world's 1 billion-plus Catholics does not particularly like to travel, Benedict biographer David Gibson says.

Since a high-profile visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories nearly a year-and-a-half ago, he's gone only to a handful of small countries not far from Rome -- racking up nothing like the number of air miles logged by his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.

Note 1 : Bible says Daniel 11: 40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
The king of the North the Papacy is overthrowing countries but not with the sword,but by influence.

And the United Kingdom is not a Catholic country. On the contrary, Britain's break from Rome in the 16th century echoes, if faintly, to the present day, with laws on the books forbidding the heir to the British throne from marrying a Catholic.

In fact, the country is one of the less religious ones in Europe, home to vociferous critics of religion, like Richard Dawkins, and those who find belief in a higher power simply unnecessary, like Stephen Hawking.

Note 2 :Thanks to Martin Luther the bishop, Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Ridley, & Thomas Cranmer we had a movement towards Bible truth as oppose to Papal tradition (paganism baptise) of the Catholic church.This movement was incomplete due to the counter-reformation by the catholic church even persecuting the saints for 1260 years .This was known in the Latter end as the inquisitions. Hence we have Protestants those who protest These traditions and errors and Catholics. The staunches of protestants were Scotland Ireland and England. Hence it is a Mile stone a feat of epic proportion when the Queen of England receives the King of the North the Papacy In her House.

Public opinion on the eve of his visit ranges from indifference to downright hostility. There will be protests from critics who consider him a protector of pedophiles and from liberal Catholics who resent his staunch defense of orthodox doctrine.

And all this will play out in in front of the British media -- one of the world's most aggressive.

So why, aged 83 and happier at home, is the professorial vicar of Christ on earth stepping into the lion's den? It may be the very factors that seem to argue against his coming that impelled him to come, according to two experts.

This pope relishes a challenge, said John Allen, CNN's senior Vatican analyst. His "No. 1 priority is to combat secularism, and in some ways the United Kingdom is the dictionary definition of a post-religious society," Allen said. "He just created a whole new department in the Vatican to reawaken the faith in the West, and this trip is a chance to elaborate a strategy."

Note 3 :Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Benedict will make what the Vatican is billing as one of the major speeches of his papacy in London on Friday, making the case for religion over a purely secular society. Benedict biographer Gibson said the pope, formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, has a history of rolling up his sleeves and taking on his intellectual opponents.

"He enjoyed it when he was cardinal -- going to various places and venues and presenting controversial views in a polemical tone," said Gibson, the author of "The Rule of Benedict." "Britain is such a redoubt of secularism, he can [try to] slay the dragon in its lair. He can't resist, really," Gibson said.

Note 4 : This Pope is a conqueror the exact image represented as the king of the North.
Evidence

• verse 40 "and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over."
• verse 41 and many countries shall be overthrown. the word "coutries"is man's wisdom this is a translation input so it reads "and many shall be overthrown".
• 42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
• 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, etc.
• 44 go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many

A close confidant of Benedict made headlines shortly before the visit by likening London's Heathrow Airport to a Third World country, but Cardinal Walter Kasper also very pointedly criticized what many Christians see as enforced secularism in the United Kingdom.

While Benedict is picking a fight with secularism, he also needs to mend bridges with fellow Christians, both experts said. The Catholic Church moved surprisingly forcefully last year to make it easier for disaffected members of the Church of England to switch allegiance to Rome, sparking consternation in a deeply divided Anglican world.

Note5 : Secularism sounds like Egypt = Worldly Hmmm.. The Bible is never wrong .It is the most accurate record of Human History foretold. Hear what it says.
Daniel 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

Benedict "cares about relations with the Anglicans, seeing it as the model for relations with all the other Christian churches in the West," CNN's Allen said. Creating "new structures to welcome Anglican converts into the Catholic Church" is seen by many Anglicans "as poaching, so he needs this trip to mend fences."

Allen compared the trip to Britain to one Benedict made to Turkey in 2006 after the pope made controversial comments about Islam. On that trip, the pope appeared with a top Muslim religious leader at Istanbul's famous Blue Mosque. This week he will pray with the head of the Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, in London.

Note 6 : Even Islam one of the major players of the time of the end Welcomes the Mother Rome,It is she only than can rally the world to subdue the children of the East,the sons of Ishmael.

Gibson also sees an element of outreach to the Anglican archbishop in the pope's visit -- but also to his flock.

"He doesn't want to have bad relations with Rowan Williams, but he also makes very clear that he wants closer relations with traditional Christians," Gibson said. "He is looking for allies."

Note 7 :All Roads lead to Rome is not a cliché it is a prophetic fact.

Indeed, a leading voice for conservative members of the Church of England, Canon Chris Sugden, said, "Many orthodox Anglicans in England would feel that they share more in common with the pope than with the presiding bishop of the Episcopal church [Rowan Williams]."

Note :8 There you go, The reformation was a mistake! Was it ?

That doesn't mean Anglicans see eye-to-eye with the pope on a number of important theological issues, he said, but added, "We welcome the pope's visit because it raises many of the critical challenges to the current elite secularism that is being imposed on us," he said.

And if his religious message proves unpopular in Britain, particularly against the backdrop of the sex abuse scandals enveloping the Catholic Church, Benedict really doesn't mind, Gibson said. "He sees criticism almost as a form of persecution that reinforces the importance and the truth of his message," he said.

"He doesn't care about popularity and in fact revels a bit in drawing protests -- that whole dynamic of being despised proving your faith."

Coming under sufficiently intense criticism could even rebound in Benedict's favor, Gibson said. "British tabloids can be so over-the-top that they can prove his point," he said. "He could become a sympathetic figure."

Note 9 :The whole world will Wonder after the beast,Revelation 13:3 The deadly wound that was inflicted on THe Roman church removing her off the Throne of the Earth is being healed.

Visiting the United States three years ago boosted Benedict's popularity there, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found. This visit could have a similar effect in the United Kingdom, Allen said.
Note 10: And He shall enter into the Glorious land does this sound familiar. 1st the Glorious land then the countries including Egypt. Daniel 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

Note 11 :The Glorious Land is the place where Gods people ,truth flourish it is a place where liberty of worship is paramount. Is there any place in the world where Protestantism flourished. Is there anywhere in the world where all or most protestants flock too runing away from Papal rule ? This land is no other but the United States of America ,This is the land flowing with milk and honey called the Glorious Land . But it is hardly glorious any-more because the King of the North The Papacy ,the mother Church of Rome, Mystery Babylon is conquering America by stealth at this moment. We are in Daniel 11:verse 41 But the end shall be rapid one

The Report ends this way :"My prediction: He'll do better than people expect," he said. "He usually does on the foreign trips."

Many God help us as the final movements of earths history are playing off right before our eyes.
Daniel 12:1 the verse just after Daniel 11:40-45 it says.

Daniel 12: 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Its not the New World Order you should should be concern about .It is the King of the North who once is reseated on the throne of the WHOLE Earth.Will do as Verse 41 in Daniel 11 he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

We have a more sure word of prophecy 2 Peter 1:19 are you washed in the blood of the Lamb ? Give your life to Christ today ,Turn from sin live righteous,prepare for Judgements. Peace and love. Words in Red are those of Royalblood

The USA ? History repeats itself When we don't learn from It . Daniel 12:1, Matthew 24:21,Isaiah 19:1-24. will come to past.. All of God's People must remove them selves from the City centers. Now is the window of opportunity not is the time to get a move on .Before the time when buying and selling becomes a problem. Now is the time to remove ourselves from the influences of heathen. Ministry to them must take place from out, but we must come in the cities to do it,not live in the cities.

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Prophetic symbols.

• Beast = Kingdom/Nation Daniel 7:23
• Earth = The Earth signifies a coming out of an unpopulated place as oppose to sea which represent high populace/densely populated. Unpopulated -Such was the nature of America till immigration and the fleeing from papal and kingly rule of Europe .
• Lamb = Jesus/sacrifice John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7 A christian Nation.The USA.
• Horn = King or Daniel 7:24; 8:5, 21, 22; Zechariah 1:18. A Civil Power. Two Horns means two powers most likely Civil and religious power .If it is an image to the first beast of the papacy/Rome then it will surely boast of Civil and Religious power. The Roman church in the Vatican is the only Church that is a State/nation. So will America seek to sway Religious power in the future ?

The lamb-like horns and dragon voice of the symbol point to a striking contradiction between the professions and the practice of the nation thus represented. The "speaking" of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities. By such action it will give the lie to those liberal and peaceful principles which it has put forth as the foundation of its policy. The prediction that it will speak "as a dragon," and exercise "all the power of the first beast," plainly foretells a development of the spirit of intolerance and persecution that was manifested by the nations represented by the dragon and the leopard-like beast. And the statement that the beast with two horns "causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast," indicates that the authority of this nation is to be exercised in enforcing some observance which shall be an act of homage to the papacy.
Such action would be directly contrary to the principles of this government, to the genius of its free institutions, to the direct and solemn avowals of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Constitution. The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result--intolerance and persecution. The Constitution provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," and that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust under the United States." Only in flagrant violation of these safeguards to the nation's liberty, can any religious observance be enforced by civil authority. But the inconsistency of such action is no greater than is represented in the symbol. It is the beast with lamb-like horns--in profession pure, gentle, and harmless-- that speaks as a dragon.

"Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast." Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people; a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy.
But what is the "image to the beast"? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the first beast. It is also called an image of the beast.
Then to learn what the image is like, and how it is to be formed, we must study the characteristics of the beast itself, --the papacy. When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel, and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the State, and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of "heresy." In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the State will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.

Inquisition fortold in Bible

As a matter of fact, the 1260-day prophecy is mentioned seven times in Daniel and Revelation. There are not, as some have supposed, several 1260-day periods; there is only one. It is mentioned seven times, because it is so very important: in Daniel 7:25 and 12:7 and also in Revelation 12:14, as a time, times (i.e., two times - the lowest plural), and a half time; in Revelation 11:2 and 13:5, as forty-two months; and in Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 12:6, as one thousand two hundred and threescore (sixty) days. In Bible prophecy, there are 360 days to a year, and if you multiply 360 times three and one-half, you will come up with the number-- 1260. Also, when time is used in Bible prophecy, a day stands for a year. (See Ezekiel 4:6; Num.14:34). Therefore, the Bible has given us the important key to figuring out the 1260-day prophecy, and that is this--that the 1260 days are actually 1260 literal years.
As Satan used the Roman Empire - particularly King Herod, Pontius Pilate and Nero, as well as many others - to put Christ to death and kill many of God's people, he, like a chameleon, changed his disguise once again after Western Rome's fall, but this time, he kept the same Roman roots. The "wilderness" (Rev. 12:6), symbolizing this 1260-year period, is also referred to as the "great tribulation" (Matt 24:21) - a time when millions of God's true people were martyred for refusing to follow the dictates of the Roman Church. The Bible accurately prophesied that the papal power, as symbolized by the "little horn" in Daniel 7:8, 20, 21 and the "leopard-bodied beast" in Revelation 13:2, would "make war with the saints." Only one "religious" organization has been responsible for more persecutions and deaths of faithful Bible-believing Christians than any other sect in history - The Holy Roman Catholic Church!
"Step by step, the Roman Empire (the dragon) did indeed give its power, throne, and great authority [Revelation 13:2] to the Catholic Church...A climax came in 538, when the armies of the Empire [the unfallen Eastern division] drove the Arian Ostrogoths out of Rome. By 538, therefore, the 1260 years could begin." (God Cares, p. 328). "In the sixth century the papacy had become firmly established. Its seat of power was fixed in the imperial city, and the bishop of Rome was declared to be the head over the entire church. Paganism had given place to the papacy. The dragon had given to the beast 'his power, and his seat, and great authority.' Revelation 13:2. And now began the 1260 years of papal oppression foretold in the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation. Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5-7. Christians were forced to choose either to yield their integrity and accept the papal ceremonies and worship, or to wear away their lives in dungeons or to suffer death by the rack, the fagot, or the headsman's ax. Now were fulfilled the words of Jesus: 'Ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake.' Luke 21:16, 17. Persecution opened upon the faithful with greater fury than ever before, and the world became a vast battlefield. For hundreds of years the church of Christ found refuge in seclusion and obscurity. Thus says the prophet: 'The woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three-score days.' Revelation 12:6.
"The accession of the Roman Church to power marked the beginning of the Dark Ages. As her power increased, the darkness deepened. Faith was transferred from Christ, the true foundation, to the pope of Rome. Instead of trusting in the Son of God for forgiveness of sins and for eternal salvation, the people looked to the pope, and to the priests and prelates to whom he delegated authority. They were taught that the pope was their earthly mediator and that none could approach God except through him; and, further, that he stood in the place of God to them and was therefore to be implicitly obeyed. A deviation from his requirements was sufficient cause for the severest punishment to be visited upon the bodies and souls of the offenders. Thus the minds of the people were turned away from God to fallible, erring and cruel men, nay, more, to the prince of darkness himself, who exercised his power through them. Sin was disguised in a garb of sanctity. When the Scriptures are suppressed, and man comes to regard himself as supreme, we need look only for fraud, deception, and debasing iniquity. With the elevation of human laws and traditions was manifest the corruption that ever results from setting aside the law of God."

"Those were days of peril for the church of Christ. The faithful standard-bearers were few indeed. Though the truth was not left without witnesses, yet at times it seemed that error and superstition would wholly prevail, and true religion would be banished from the earth. The gospel was lost sight of, but the forms of religion were multiplied and the people were burdened with rigorous exactions."
"They were taught not only to look to the pope as their mediator, but to trust to works of their own to atone for sin. Long pilgrimages, acts of penance, the worship of relics, the erection of churches, shrines, and altars, the payment of large sums to the church - these and many similar acts were enjoined to appease the wrath of God or to secure His favor; as if God were like men, to be angered at trifles, or pacified by gifts or acts of penance!
"Notwithstanding that vice prevailed, even among the leaders of the Roman Church, her influence seemed steadily to increase. About the close of the eighth century, papists put forth the claim that in the first ages of the church the bishops of Rome had possessed the same spiritual power which they now assumed. To establish this claim, some means must be employed to give it a show of authority; and this was readily suggested by the father of lies. Ancient writings were forged by monks. Decrees of councils before unheard of were discovered, establishing the universal supremacy of the pope from the earliest times. And a church that had rejected the truth greedily accepted these deceptions."
"The few faithful builders upon the true foundation (1.Corinthians 3:10, 11) were perplexed and hindered as the rubbish of false doctrine obstructed the work. Like the builders upon the wall of Jerusalem in Nehemiah's day, some were ready to say: 'The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build.' Nehemiah 4:10. Wearied with the constant struggle against persecution, fraud, iniquity, and every other obstacle that Satan could devise to hinder their progress, some who had been faithful builders became disheartened; and for the sake of peace and security for their property and their lives, they turned away from the true foundation. Others, undaunted by the opposition of their enemies, fearlessly declared: 'Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible' (verse 14); and they proceeded with the work, everyone with his sword girded by his side." Ephesians 6:17.
"....The darkness seemed to grow more dense. Image worship became more general. Candles were burned before images, and prayers were offered to them. The most absurd and superstitious customs prevailed. The minds of men were so completely controlled by superstition that reason itself seemed to have lost its away. While priests and bishops were themselves pleasure-loving, sensual, and corrupt, it could only be expected that the people who looked to them for guidance would be sunken in ignorance and vice." (The Great Controversy, pp. 54-57).

Crisis will remove both Civil and Religious liberties pridicted in 1800-1900s

The End of Religious Liberty in the United States

The law of God, through the agency of Satan, is to be made void. In our land of boasted freedom religious liberty will come to an end. The contest will be decided over the Sabbath question, which will agitate the whole world.--Ev 236 (1875). {LDE 144.1}
A great crisis awaits the people of God. Very soon our nation will attempt to enforce upon all the observance of the first day of the week as a sacred day. In doing this they will not scruple to compel men against the voice of their own conscience to observe the day the nation declares to be the Sabbath.--RH Extra, Dec. 11, 1888. {LDE 144.2}

The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.--GC 588 (1911). {LDE 144.4}

Every Earthly Support Will Be Cut Off

Hoarded wealth will soon be worthless. When the decree shall go forth that none shall buy or sell except they have the mark of the beast, very much means will be of no avail. God calls for us now to do all in our power to send forth the warning to the world.--RH March 21, 1878. {LDE 148.2}
The time is coming when we cannot sell at any price. The decree will soon go forth prohibiting men to buy or sell of any man save him that hath the mark of the beast. We came near having this realized in California a short time since, but this was only the threatening of the blowing of the four winds. As yet they are held by the four angels. We are not just ready. There is a work yet to be done, and then the angels will be bidden to let go, that the four winds may blow upon the earth.--5T 152 (1882). {LDE 148.3}
In the last great conflict in the controversy with Satan those who are loyal to God will see every earthly support cut off. Because they refuse to break His law in obedience to earthly powers they will be forbidden to buy or sell.--DA 121, 122 (1898). {LDE 148.4}

Satan says . . . "For fear of wanting food and clothing they will join with the world in transgressing God's law. The earth will be wholly under my dominion."--PK 183, 184 (c. 1914). {LDE 149.1}

Persecution Leads to

Unity Among God's People

When the storm of persecution really breaks upon us, the true sheep will hear the true Shepherd's voice. Self-denying efforts will be put forth to save the lost, and many who have strayed from the fold will come back to follow the great Shepherd. The people of God will draw together and present to the enemy a united front. In view of the common peril strife for supremacy will cease, there will be no disputing as to who shall be accounted greatest.--6T 401 (1900). {LDE 152.2}
