SCRIPTURES PRINTED IN RED ARE WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS

Psalm 24 NKJV

1/ The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, {1 Corinthians 10:26}

The world and those who dwell therein.

2/ For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.

3/ Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?

4/ He who has clean hands and a pure heart, {Matthew 5:8}

Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5/ He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6/ This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,Who seek Your face. Selah

9/ Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.

10/ Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

Revelation 16:16 KJV - 16/ And he {satin} gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

No place on earth actually bears the name Armageddon. The above passage is the only mention of it in scripture. Armageddon is most commonly thought to be a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew har megiddo, literally, “mountain of Megiddo.”
The Greek word Armageddon originates from two Hebrew words:
- har, a shortened form of a mountain or range of hills.
- megiddô, meg-id-do', a place in Palestine: - Megiddo {or Megiddone}.
The Mount of Megiddo is located in the Plain of Esdraelon or Jezreel, a valley fourteen by twenty miles in size located to the southwest of Nazareth.

Here, it is thought by many, that the great final battle of Armageddon {the final world war} will be fought at the end of time {end times, last days, latter days, end of the age}.

Revelation 16:14 KJV - 14/ For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

According to Bible Prophecy found in Ezekiel 38:1-6, 16 KJV, the kings or leaders of the countries, that satin along with evil demonic spirits {used by God to fulfull His purpose} will manipulate to gather together to attack Israel, are shown in the clipart below.

Luke 21:20-26 NLT 20/ And when you
see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived. 21/ Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city. 22/ For those will be days of Gods vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. 23/ How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people. 24/ They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end. 25/ And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. 26/ People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Matthew 24:22 KJV - 22/ And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Luke 21:27-28 NLT 27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory. 28/ So when all these things begin to happen,

stand and look up,

for your salvation is near!

REVIEW WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY #31 "ABOUT THE RAPTURE"

2 Peter 2:4-9 NIV 4/ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; 5/ if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6/ if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7/ and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8/ (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9/ if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 NKJV *

The Great Apostasy

1/ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2/ not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3/ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first,

{Happening now in the Gregorian calendar year of 2014: masses of former believers turning away from God's set standards of morality, to embrace and be accepted by the world's man-made, subtly influenced by satin, standards of morality that oppose God.}

and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4/ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5/ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6/ And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7/ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8/ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9/ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10/ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11/ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12/ that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

**Stand Fast* 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 continued below

13/ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14/ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15/ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. 16/ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17/ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Bible Prophecy about the Battle of Armageddon, is pictured as the final world war on Earth; leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ. It takes place in the plains of Esdraelon, near the city of Megiddo in central Israel {see Revelation 16:16 KJV above}. It culminates with the ultimate victory of good triumphing over evil.

The Bible tells us that satin depicted as a dragon [Revelation 12:17], the anti-christ depicted as the beast [Revelation 13:1-10], the false prophet also depicted as a beast [Revelation 13:11-18], along with other evil human and demonic forces, will make war with the LORD OF HOSTS/JESUS CHRIST/KING OF KINGS, heavenly angels, and the people of God.

Revelation 13:1-18 NKJV

The Beast from the Sea

1/ Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon {satin} gave him {the anti-christ} his power, his throne, and great authority. 3/ And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4/ So they worshiped the dragon {satin} who gave authority to the beast {the anti-christ}; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” 5/ And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months {3 1/2 yrs}. 6/ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7/ It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8/ All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9/ If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10/ He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

11/ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12/ And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13/ He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14/ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15/ He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16/ He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17/ and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18/ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The anti-christ is a man energized by satin.

He will become a powerful world dictator with absolute rule.

His goal is to destroy all godliness along with God and all of God's people.

His overwhelmingly violent attack of evil will be so devatating that if Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior does not intervene, the entire world would be destroyed.

The times are so terribly desperate, until the miracles of the anti-christ, an intellectual charismatic figure, and his men, convince world leaders that he has the wits and power to defeat God. They will gather together to make war against JESUS, THE KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS {Revelation 19:19}. they are of course defeated {Revelation 19:20}.

A graphic description of the brutal, bloody destruction of the forces of evil, can be seen in Revelation 19:11 thru 20:3 and in Ezekiel 38:17 thru 39:29.

The beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown into a lake of fire. satin however is denied access to the Earth and imprisoned for 1,000 years. He will then be released. God will allow satin to assemble another futile attack against Him. satin fails again of course; this time satin is thrown into the lake of fire with the anti-christ/beast, false prophet and all who took his mark. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever {Revelation 20:10}.
