The Tribulation, the Two Witnesses, the BeastApril 4, 2006
Article By: Tom Demeter Why All Religions will Worship the Beast Dear Friend, It is almost impossible for humans including Christians to believe the Bible. Test yourself, can you believe that you are "deceived," as the people were in Noah's day "deceived" Mat.24:37? A good evidence that we are all "deceived" Rev.12;9 is that we are focusing on what Satan is doing as he creates the atmosphere of FEAR, conflict instead the FAITH we need, by threatening our lives; stealing our freedom, wealth, security and lives. We are unable to see what God, our Creator is doing Eph.3:9, because God has "hidden" from us by making Satan, the Anti-god to be the "god of this world" 2Cor.4:4. Our Creator is hiding behind the Anti-god, as He pre-ordained it, by Him "alienating" us from Him Eph.4:18 creating "EVIL" Isa.45:7. Our Father and Christ has pre-ordained that our creation will be in two phases, the physical first, and second our spiritual. This is why God ALIENATED us from Him that He in the future RECONCILIATE us to Him through Christ 2Cor.5:18. Our salvation was pre-ordained 2Tim1:9 to take place in God's future "ages to come" Eph.2:7, and in God's "pre-ordained" time "order" ICor.15:23. Humans and angels have no access to Him, unless our Father "draw us" to Him Jn.6:44, in this "age or dispensation" Eph.1:10. This is why unless our Father "calls" us, we can't come to Him, because we are incapable to "think like Him" Isa.55:8 making "His ways" Prv.14:12 an utter "foolishness" to us ICor.2:14. We all believe that we know our Creator when we only know our Anti-god, because God has "hidden" from us, and His truth Mat.13:35 and His "holy spirit." Christians can't believe that the God they serve is the "god of this world" not our Creator Jesus our Christ. The truth to them is an "anathema" (Webster's: one that is cursed by ecclesiastical authority b. something intensely disliked or loathed). Christians resist the truth most violently, because Christ has "alienated" them from Him. This is why the reformation and the counter reformation started by Martin Luther was so bloody. Christianity and all other religions are hopelessly "deceived" and CAN'T come to the truth, until God sends His "Two Witnesses" Rev.11:3 and through them begin a "refreshing" of the truth Acts.3:19 by "pouring out His spirit" Acts.2:17 on a "few" in this age Mat.7:14. Jesus said that in this age the "many" will go on the "wide gate" which leads to destruction Mat.7:13. It is "given" Lk.8:10 to a "few" to find the "strait gate, and narrow way" which "leads to eternal life" Mat.7:14. We must see that humans, you and the angels were pre-ordained not to "believe" God, and can't "obey" Him, because He gave us our intellect, the "spirit of man" ICor.2:11, our human nature to be inherently evil. Our spirit of man, our "heart" is not only "evil," but "desperately wicked" and self deceiving Jer.17:9. This is our sad story, our tragedy proving that we are just like the people were before the Flood in Noah's day Mat.24:37.Unless we force ourselves to "obey" God's laws as carnal persons, we can't help it but to be evil to ourselves, to others and to God. This is why Satan, the Anti-god made us to exchange God's and our LAWS to his "codes" and "lawlessness," called "iniquity" Mat.7:23 that we may stay in the "snare of the Devil" 2Tim.2:26 and his power and influence. In this evil age, or "dispensation" Eph.1:10 when we think that we are "converted" and have God's Holy Spirit, we deceive ourselves unknowingly. Why, because we received in the churches, not God's "holy spirit" but one of the ANGELIC spirits of God's seven churches Rev. 2 & 3, or one of the spirits of the Anti-god! If we are in the churches, we soon become frustrated and humiliated because we find ourselves powerless to be "good" as God requires, not having God's holy spirit, His "mind" ICor.2:16 and His "power" Acts.1:8 to be like Him. If you have eyes to see by Christ opening your eyes, you see this. This means that ALL humanity and the angelkind is hopelessly lost, and unable to come out of our deceptions! We all "worship" by "obeying" the Anti-god Rom.6:16, unless God calls and draw us Jn.6:44, by giving us the "earnest" of His "holy spirit" 2Cor.1:22, using His First Witness. It is our Father who personally "draw us" or call us Acts.10:41, using His First Witness of His Two Witnesses Rev.11:3 and their followers. The Biblical truth is a total opposite of what we learned in our churches, concerning our SALVATION! This is why we can't believe that our "god" and our leaders and our government wants to kill us Jn.10:10. It makes no sense to us. This is why we can't believe that we are at the End of the World Mat.24:3 and we will be destroyed as the people were in Noah's day V.37. Our mind can't accept or believe the truth, because we "can't think like God" Isa.55:8, His ways are "foolishness" to us ICor.2:14. This leaves all religions in deception, as Christ predicted Mat.24:37 to accept the Anti-christ when he will stage his coming, to be the second coming of the real Christ. Christians and all other religious people will find a UNITY with each other, because they will recognize that their "god" is the same "god." This will fulfill Matthew the 10th chapter. The true Christians will be persecuted by the good intentioned, but misinformed relatives and friends, to SAVE the true Christians souls, and to save their own lives Rev.13:15. Parents will turn on their children and will betray them to the government. Children will turn on their parents and others. We will see divisions and the destruction of the families, like they were behind the Iron Curtain, and where ever communism gained power, and also where America had a strong influence. Satan used America to help UNITE the world into his new ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. The Anti-christ will take advantage of this, allowing him to look good when he is evil. If you have eyes to see Satan's government is now using this concept, "calling evil good," and "good evil" Isa.5: 20. The people and their leaders on all fields go along with the "evil" and their further deception, because we have lost God's laws, to point out what is "evil" and good. We have no moral power, God's "holy spirit" to stand up for "righteousness" against the "evil" engulfing us. We self "deceive" ourselves to protect our ego that evil is good, and good is evil. By doing this we hurt ourselves and the world around us, until the world is destroyed. To wake us from our "deep sleep" of our "deception" Isa.29:10, God is sending His Two Witnesses Rev.11:3, like He did Elijah and later John Baptist in the past Mat.17:11. These Witnesses will sound the "Midnight Cry" of the Beast's and later the coming of Christ's Mat.25:6. The followers of the Second Witness will be the 144,000 Israelites Rev.7:4, and the followers of God's First Witness who will come later, will be the Great Multitude Rev.7:9. The Essential Work of God's Two WitnessesThe whole world is deceived in various degrees, depending on how much they believe the Bible and obey God's laws. No one has God's true SALVATION, because it was "hidden" until now, or the very end of this age Rev.10:7 as God's "mystery" Eph.3:3. This is why we are like the people in Noah's day and lost Mat.24:37. God's "Two Witnesses" are bringing two SALVATIONS of God. The First Witness brings eternal salvation to the Christians, while God's Second Witness brings physical salvation to Israel, and to some of the Christians at the End of the World. Unless you find God's TWO WITNESSES you can't gain salvation, just like you can't be a Christian without following Christ's doctrines, or laws. Salvation is only through Jesus our resurrected Christ, and now by the access to His Two Witnesses, who "restore" Christ's truth to us Mat.17:11, since it was "hidden" as God's "mystery" until now Mat.10:26, 13:35, Rev.10:7! The "tribulation" Mat.24:21 is caused by the Biblical "Beast," the Anti-christ Rev.11:7 and God's "Two Witnesses" Rev.11:3, bringing new truth to us. New truth upsets the status quo, causing violence. The Beast's New system, his law / religion / government brings the New World Order, which is ONE law, ONE religion and ONE government to have a "ONE world" Rev.13:7! Please take note that anyone who "would not 'worship' the image / government (including law and religion) of the Beast should be killed" Rev.13:15b. Satan's servant the Beast and Anti-christ must accomplish God's purpose of Satan in Jn.10:10 to "K-I-L-L" humanity as he had to do in the days of Noah Mat.24:37, because our collectively sins' "came to be full" as were the Amorites allowing God to destroy them and give their land to Israel Gen.15:15! God's Two Witnesses bring our Creator's system / LAW / RELIGION / GOVERNMENT, which is "higher" than the Anti-god's Rom.13:1 and is OPPOSITE to the Anti-god's, since God's system is based on LAW while the Anti-god's is based on INIQUITY Mat.7:23 which is "lawlessness." The "tribulation" is the "beginning of sorrows" Mat.24:8 because of its "violence" between the two systems. The "violence" is the proof or our "evil heart," our spirit of man and human nature. The "violence" brought by our "spirit of man," and by the "lawlessness" of the Anti-god will make our world a literal hell. Christians will need God's angels' supernatural help, to combat the spiritual powers of the Anti-god against them. The persecution will be strong, unless Christians learn to be NEUTRAL to the government of the Anti-god. They can do this by "coming out" of the Anti-god's system Rev.18:4 and "enter into" God's "higher" Rom.13:1 government of the "Kingdom of God" Rom.6:33 by establishing legally their Embassy of it, their Home Ekklesia. Later if the Christians will not "flee" to God's Place of Safety Rev.12:6, they will need to become Martyrs for Christ Rev.13:15! As you see it is a LIFE and DEATH matter to find, and to follow God's Two Witnesses. If you are still not sure why God's Two Witnesses are so vital for your salvation, consider that one of the greatest Prophet of the Old Testament for Israel was Moses. Elijah was a great Prophet because he "restored" God's system to Israel later. Jesus said that the greatest Prophet of all in the Old Testament for Israel and the Gentiles was John the Baptist Lk.7:28. The Two Witnesses are the greatest Prophets of all times, because they are like Elijah and John the Baptist sent as God's "messengers to us, to prepare your way before Christ's coming" Mat.11:10. Not listening to these Prophets are like not listening to NOAH in His day, bringing our destruction with the world. If you say that you don't need God's Two Witnesses, because you have the truth, and you are saved, you are in mortal danger. You are in danger, because our Creator "shall JUDGED the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to Paul's gospel" Rom.2:16, which is the "mystery" given to Paul Eph.3:3 and was "hidden" until the End of the World Rev.10:7 and now is "restored" Mat.17:11 by God's First Witness sent to the Christians. To be a Christian you must be in one of God's seven churches found in Revelation 2 and 3. To be a Christian you must have God's "holy spirit" which was given to be "poured out" Acts.2:17 upon a "few" Mat.7:14 at the End of this World to the Two Witnesses. Christ is then "testing" you if you are willing to "examine" your believes if you are in Chris's faith or religion or of the Anti-god 2Cor.13:5. If you say that you are "rich" and "need of nothing" of God's First Witnesses' spiritual teachings, you are in the Laodicean church Rev.3:14-18 and you will be thrown in and "tried in the fire" of the "tribulation" to die and through it may be in the resurrection. Why die when Christ is reaching out to you, to SAVE YOU from the persecution and the death of the "sixth seal" Rev.6:12 we are in now? If you have any of God's seven angelic spirits in you, you should be recognizing the "truth" to help God's Two Witnesses to do their "work" Acts.13:41 to show your love, like Noah did at the time when the world came to an End as it will again. God is "calling" and "drawing" you to protect and save you and to save others through YOU! Why People will Love the Anti-christ?During the "sixth seal" Rev.6:12, the "tribulations" Mat.24:21 there will be a great turmoil, because Satan will change for his present system to his new system. This will bring conflicts. Add to this God also introducing His Two Witnesses, and God's system as an opposite of Satan's systems, causing more conflicts. These conflicts will escalate progressively and become VIOLENT, bringing DEATH! Our Creator is using Satan His Anti-god to force us to make a choice to "obey" Him or His Anti-god. God's and Satan's OPPOSING systems will force every one of us individually to choose whom will we serve, and by it "worship" Rom.6:16. The Anti-god will set up his new, oppressive tyrannical government world wide, to force our decision. Knowing or not knowing God or His gospel, given to Paul Rom.2:16 will not be an excuse of not making the right decision. Christians, or not Christians will be judged, how much "love" they will show to their fellow man in this "conflict," and will be "judged" that way. Some will suffer more, because they are more disobedient to our Creator. The laws of cause and affect will apply to all. To whom much is given will be much required Lk.12:48. The conflicts, the trials, the pain the violence the DEATH will increase to levels that humanity will cry out to receive a savior, from ourselves, and God's Two Witnesses. Yes, God's Two Witnesses are not going to be nice, but powerful and will be "tormenting" humanity Rev.11:10, as Moses did the Egyptians before Pharaoh let Moses and Israel to "come out" of Egypt, with God's "plagues." We are told that again who will not "come out" of the system of the Anti-god (law, religion, and government) will be tormented by God's "plagues" Rev.18:4, as Egypt was. The PURPOSE of our physical life is to learn that we are physical and we must become spiritual God's way, to gain ETERNAL LIFE. God created us "carnal," or dying, that we could learn His sacrificial love Jn.15:13 to qualify us to gain eternal life Mat.16:25! We are converted or not must learn this lesson, as all the people did in the six thousand years God pre-ordained for humanity to be ALIENATED and now be RECONCILIATED to Him. Until now God has "withheld" the evil 2Thes.2:6, but now it is time for evil to accomplished its created function. Evil must be experienced by all of us that we could compare it to good, and to make our choice not only on mental knowledge but through experience, the best teacher of all. All Christians know that Satan's way is the easy way, and God's way is the difficult way Mat.7:13,14. God is "working against Himself," by making "His way" Prov.14:12 difficult. Humans and the angels must learn God's way to gain eternal life. This is why Satan and His Anti-christ, the Beast will be masquerading as a good being, an "angel of light," instead of darkness 2Cor.11:14 who will relieve our sufferings and pain. Our Creator will work with Satan and help him, to "deceive" the un-knowing who Satan is, and his angels. Christ will send a "strong delusion, (on the unbelievers) that they should believe a lie" 2Thes.2:11 that the Beast is the Christ. Unless you have "Paul's gospel" V.14 you will believe the deception of Satan. As pressures will increase as our money will worth less and less, our economy will be in ruin, as we are going to be sick, as our government collapse, and war will sep our wealth and lives, as natural and artificial acts of nature, hurricanes, floods and droughts and earthquakes will affect us destroying our land, we will increasingly cry out for help from God. Most of humanity will realize that the conditions will be so bad, that unless God intervenes supernaturally, we are all lost as the people in Noah's day or the Egyptians before the Exodus of Israel, and Israel in 70 AD. When the world will lose all hope and the desire is the greatest for help, that is when the Beast as a person will appear. The Beast will come "whose coming is after the working of Satan with all POWER and signs and LYING WONDERS, with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish" 2Thes.2:9,10. These "lying wonders" will be big, artificially, technically created miracles, even the most educated would not believe that they are artificial. The scriptures of Christ's second coming will be closely imitated. They will see the different saviors of different religions face in the sky, and that picture will morph into the picture of the long haired "christ" ICor.11:14 so spectacular that "if it were possible, they (the demons of Satan and the Beast) shall deceive the Very Elect" Mat.24:24. This time is now very close. God's First Witness has finished the first part of his mission. We are waiting for God's Second Witness and his Two Prophets. The Anti-god slowly, incrementally brought his "image of the Beast," his laws, religion and government to us. We are now in his system, you realize it or not. Most likely you do not see Satan's system, because you do not know God's LAWS, RELIGION or GOVERNMENT. I feel God's Second Witness will come on the scene suddenly, yet most people will not recognize him, as people could not recognize God's First Witness, because we are "all deceived" and think that we are Christians when we are not, blinding us to see the truth, and God's servants. Most people are still concentrate on what evil is coming, and try to save our country and our way of living. God's plan can't be stopped, we can only participate in it, either for our benefit or to our demise. The Beast's the Anti-christ's ComingWe all have heard that the Bible is written in code. The Catholics believe that the Bible belongs to the priests, not the ordinary people. This way the Catholic church amassed enormous power, over kings and their people, until the Reformation by Martin Luther. The Catholics are partly right because Apostle Peter tells us that "no prophecy of the scripture is of any PRIVATE interpretation" 2Pet.1:20. Apostle Paul confirms this by saying that for this very reason God "set" or ordained in His church "first APOSTLES, secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly TEACHERS, and after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues" ICor.12:28 and He calls us in our "order" to be saved ICor.15:23 . God is "NOT the author of 'confusion' but of PEACE, as in all the churches of the saints" ICor.14:33. Jesus tell us that God's "Two Witnesses" are like Noah today Mat.24:37. No religious authority or power is equal or come close to God's TWO WITNESSES, which is an "office" carrying a "rank" or commission with it. This is why this "office" has at least two Prophets if not three or four, as I have shown in my previous articles. God's Two Witnesses will bring or "restore" God's three laws, and change "times and seasons," and have power to interpret and or "restore" God's words to us Mat.17:11. The Anti-god, Satan also will have "Two Witnesses" who will be the Anti-christ, the Beast and the False Prophet Rev.13:4, 11. The first Beast is "cast out of heaven" who is the Anti-christ Rev.12:9, the second Beast is "coming up out of the earth" V.11, from the "bottomless pit," who is the "false prophet" Rev.11:7. The principle, of the LAW of "good and evil" our Creator Eph.3:9 set in motion in the garden of Eden is working Gen.2:9. God used a Catholic, French Canadian investigating reporter, Mr. Serge Monast, to reveal to us the deep secret of Satan's "mystery of iniquity" 2Thes.2:7, how the second coming of Christ will be performed by "lying wonders" 2Thes.2:9,10, using the hundreds of satellites in the sky and super computers, to produce a spectacular world wide show in real time, with holographic pictures and subliminal suggestions to make the world's population to believe that they have seen Christ. Many will hear Christ speak to them inaudibly, which only they can hear, "deceiving" them, that they have seen and heard Christ. This show will be very close to Christ's second coming Mat.24:27. As I said the "many" will be "deceived" not knowing that when Jesus comes, Jerusalem and the cities of the world will fall by a huge earthquake Zech.14:4. You need to read my articles on this subject on my site in the LITERATURE section http://www.repenttolive.com Mr. Monast sacrificed his daughter, family and his LIFE to give us this truth, not having access to God's "mystery" and the "holy spirit" to protect him. He was not able to "come out" of this world Rev.18:4 and "enter into" the Kingdom of God Mat.5:33 and its protection. Mr. Monast died because of this, as "firstfruits of God" will after the "elect" of God "fled" to God's Place of Safety Rev.12:6. This should be to you a timely WARNING, if you read my newsletters, as Jesus' warning was to the five foolish virgins in Mat.25! We are in the "tribulations" Mat.24:2,1 the "sixth seal" Rev.6:12, and close to the "FIRST WOE" Rev.9:12.The signs of the "sixth seal" will be produced with artificial or "lying miracles!" The NASA project and the Cassini-Huygens Mission to the Saturnian system is a multinational cooperation between three space agencies and 17 nations. This project will finish in 2008, possibly giving one of the signs of the six seal http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/operations/index.cfm The earthquakes can be created now many ways, if you research this subject. God also will intervene with real SIGNS as Moses performed miracles and as the Priests of Pharaoh did before the exodus. Volcanic activities can and will make the "sun become black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon become as blood" Rev.6:12. God's Second Witness and His Prophet will perform miracles as we also will see the Anti-god's Prophet will perform miracles. The question is now, whom are you going to listen? Will you listen to any of the "deceived churches," or the negative news on the internet, who WARN us and want to save our country and the world religiously, legally and financially, OR to God's First Witness and his followers? There is little time, for the "time is short" Rev.12:12, because God's First Witness is here, and after he arrived "the great dragon was cast out (into the earth,) that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which 'deceives the whole world; and his angels were cast out with him" Rev.12:9. If you know your Bible you know that this means an angelic force of 200 million spiritual fighters Rev.9 :16. If you experience more trials since 2003 than before, this is the cause!! I have written to you that Satan was "cast out" to the earth during the US/UK vs. IRAQ war in 2003! Since that day our lives have changed enormously. Just take a moment and reflect on it. Every one is straining and tried more than ever before. Don't think that you are the only one who is tried. The First Witness is fulfills Jesus' roll, saying "I AM the TRUTH" Jn.14:6. None of us have the truth, but God's First Witness. This may sound absurd to you. I know, yet if you do not take heed and "humble yourself in the site of God" Jams.4:10 with fasting, study and prayer, you will miss the greatest opportunity of all human history, to have a part in the "better resurrection" Heb.11: 35 at Christ's second coming, to be resurrected from this life to eternal life without dying IThes.4:17, and to receive the highest positions in God's "highest" government. If you are willing to find and follow God's Second Witness and its Two Prophets, you can be only in the millennial physical reign of Christ, or in the resurrection as a martyr of Jesus. If you willing to join God's First Witness' "work" Acts.13:41, you will receive the "full gospel" of God, Paul's gospel by which we all will be and are JUDGED Rom.2:16. All God's other partial gospels, are unable to qualify you to gain eternal life without death. Only God's First Witness' gospel give you the power of the whole truth of God, that you may be like Jesus was to the world. Only by obeying God's First Witness can you "come out" of this world Rev.18:4 and "enter into" the Kingdom of God Mat.6:33 to receive power to stay alive in this spiritual battle against greater spiritual forces than you have. God's angels can't protect you, if you follow God's Second witness as much, because you don't have God's full gospel and therefore God's full protection. This is JUDGMENT time for you IPet.4:17. Will you follow Satan or Christ your Creator Eph.3:9. Will you follow God's First Witness or Second Witness. If you CHOOSE to follow Christ, you are "kept (in this life, to obey Christ) by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed now" IPet.1:5. You must hold on to your faith, for "the TRIAL of your FAITH, being much more precious than of gold, (money, power, position, privilege, or even family) that parishes." You are "tried with fire that you might be found unto PRAISE and honor and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" V.7. Your testing or judgment is now, preparing you to help to protect and save others who will need help to know what you know now, and to do things you need to do things now. Your "calling" is a "gift" of God. You are not called because of your goodness or accomplishment, or heritage but because of God's mercy Rom.11:29. You were "predestinated" and "called" to be "the praise and glory of His grace" Eph.1:5,6. You are being "filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto GLORY and praise of God" Phil1:11, to be glorified by God our Father and Christ at Christ's second coming Mat.16:27. We don't see our glory yet, but soon we will as we will sine as starts among stars. I pray that Christ may bless, Protect and SAVE you to receive GLORY in His coming Kingdoms, according to your willingness to respond to our Creator's invitation, to be an Elect of God. In the reality of Christ's eternal love, your friend and brother, |
