Summary of What We Know About the Tribulation

Let’s start with the Great Day if the Lord which I will show you is not the tribulation with the beast, false profit, the mark, etc.

We go to Zechariah 14. We see the Great Day of the Lord.

Zechariah 14:1  Behold, the day of the LORD [Yehovah] cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 

So, that means we’re invaded, okay? I live in Israel.

Zechariah 14:2  For I will gather all nations …

All goyim. All heathen.

Zechariah 14:2  … against Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue … 

I guess the other half is the residue.

Zechariah 14:2  … of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 

Okay, half of them go into captivity. So, the battle is over. The glory of God of Israel, as you see, is watching this from the mount of Olives, because he left the temple. The battle is over, and when the last person or persons to make the half of Jerusalem, go into captivity, then his feet – the glory of God of Israel’s feet (that’s the angel that was with Moses and Aaron in the desert) – his feet step down on the mount of Olives, which is a third of a mile east of the temple area in Jerusalem. The mount of Olives opens, and they run through it to get away from the invaders. And then, the invaders kill each other with the sword. One guy kills his brother next to him, and the others get their eyes melted in their sockets and their flesh melted off their bones, okay?

Now, where the church drops the ball on purpose, of course, is Ezekiel 9 when this is going on – the Great Day of the LORD. This is where the abomination desolation is set up. And it’s set up in the northern gate between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard at Ezekiel’s temple yet to come, okay?

We’ll look at Ezekiel 9. I can’t do all of Ezekiel 8-11, though. 

Ezekiel 9:1  He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 

Ezekiel 9:2  And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, …

That’s the gate where they put the image that maketh desolate or the abomination desolation. The abomination is the image. The desolation is the glory of God of Israel, who’s receiving the offerings for Yehovah, because he’s the angel, Michael, who Yehovah put his name in. He put the name, Yehovah, in this angel so he could specifically receive the offerings and dwell in this 

next temple. So the desolation is the end result of all the sins in the Temple causing the Kabod, Glory of the God of Israel to depart from the temple. When he leaves no more offerings, thus the desolation. Not exactly the churches narrative is it.

Ezekiel 9:2  … six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, 

and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with 

linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. 

The brazen altar is in the inner courtyard. It’s a brass altar, I guess, or bronze. I don’t know. What is it? Bronze or brass? It says copper or bronze. … I guess it’s bronze. … I don’t know, but anyway doubt it is copper. I would also consider brass.

Ezekiel 9:3  And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. …

He’s leaving the temple. That’s the house. It’s called the house, because he lives in it. They didn’t refer to the previous temples as a house, that I can recall. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so. He never lived in any of the previous three temples – Solomon Temple, Zerubabel Temple, and Herod Temple. Ezekiel temple is number four, cut and dried, emphatically there have been three temples in past this is number 4. Again the churches say next temple will be number three. They are so off the word. 

Ezekiel 9:3  … And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; 

Ezekiel 9:4  And the LORD [Yehovah] said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem [Yerushalayim], and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 

These people get a mark on their forehead. Maybe you recall reading about such marks in revelation? Not what the churches teach, yet there it is in your Bible. The fact that it is not coming forth from the church pulpits is irrelevant, trust your Bible.

Ezekiel 9:5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 

Ezekiel 9:6  Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. 

Now, this is the Great Day of the LORD. And the mark is placed on these people living there in Jerusalem that are really bummed out and upset over these disgusting things, what these idiots are doing with the image. Or you could call it the abomination desolation. Same thing. The abomination desolation is coming out of the Greek. The image of jealousy is coming out of the Hebrew. Same image. Same event, okay? They get a mark on their forehead, and nothing bad happens to them. Have you read in Revelation about marks on the forehead, okay? 

See what schmucks the churches are? But they’re beyond schmucks. What they’re trying to do is teach you every bad thing happens to Israel, and every good thing happens to the church. So, I’m telling you, all the Catholic denominations, all the Evangelical denominations, all the Pentecostal denominations, maybe not all the Messianic congregations – they’re doing Replacement Theology. Two billion people. Yeah. It’s Replacement Theology, and its comic book fiction, but the people that go there are predominantly those that are called but not chosen. They do not have the Holy Spirit they cannot understand the Scriptures. They go looking for a teacher and they find one. They say oh this one has a big building and many people listen to them it must be the truth. They fall for it. The other thing they do is get study Bibles and commentaries which are published by the church in the publishing houses And their doctrine has toline up with the churches or they will  go bankrupt. These are not the elect warming the pews on Sunday. We all at one time went to the churches and we came out. We came out because we realized their doctrines and their practices are off the Scriptures and are basically bad fruit coming from a bad tree. By their fruit ye shall know them.

Matthew 20:16  So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

So, they don’t have the Holy Spirit as a down payment of the redemption. They don’t have the 

Holy Spirit to guide and lead them. So, they don’t understand the scriptures. The church doesn’t understand them either. So, they teach you literalism from the scriptures – like the 144,000 is a literal 144,000. It’s the 12 tribes for the Old Testament. It’s the 12 apostles for the New Testament. Times each other. So, 12 x 12 is 144. Now, times that by 1,000 for the fullness, and that’s 144,000. It’s a spiritual figure. Jehovah Witnesses are wrong, okay? 

The glory of God of Israel leaves the temple, and when the last person to go into captivity to make the half of the captivity from Jerusalem goes in, then he says, “Okay. I’ve had enough. Now, it’s over.” 

So, where do you read this? I’m going to go briefly. You can go study intensely, and you should. Ezekiel 8-11. Never hear the church preach this. 

Ezekiel 11:22  Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Ezekiel 11:23  And the glory of the LORD [Yehovah] went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city. 

The mount of Olives is a third of a mile east of Jerusalem. That’s the mountain on the east.

Ezekiel 11:24  Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. 

Okay. So, this vision is over. So, the way it ends is the glory of God of Israel from the midst of the city, stood upon the mountain, which is on the east side of the city. This is the mount of olives. 

Now, we pick this up by going back to Zechariah 14. 

This is how you learn prophecy from the different prophets. They see things from different angles, perspectives, time frames, and then, you study them all, and you put the pieces together. It’s not easy. 

Zechariah 14:1  Behold, the day of the LORD [Yehovah] cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 

Zechariah 14:2  For I will gather all nations [heathen] against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 

This is nothing like Zechariah 12, which is Jacob’s trouble. Nothing like it at all, okay? Nobody 

gets hurt or killed in Zechariah 12. It’s Jacob’s trouble. “Great is Jacob’s trouble but he shall be saved out of it.”

Jeremiah 30:7  Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

A lot of the translations will twist it and made it seem like some of the house of Jacob or Israel gets killed and stuff, but that’s not what happens. 

Zechariah 14:3  Then shall the LORD [Yehovah] go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 

Yeshua, as of yet, has not yet fought in the day of battle. It’s the glory of God of Israel.

Zechariah 14:4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, …

We just read that in Ezekiel 11. It’s the glory of God of Israel after he leaves the temple.

Ezekiel 11:23  And the glory of the LORD [Yehovah] went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city. 

Zechariah 14:4  … in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] on the east, …

It’s only the mount of Olives. It’s nothing else there in terms of a mountain.  

Zechariah 14:4  … and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 

Zechariah 14:5  And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD Yehovah my God [Yehovah Elohim] shall come, and all the saints with thee. 

Zechariah 14:6  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 

Zechariah 14:7  But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD [Yehovah], not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. 

That’s how you’ll know this is this day.

Zechariah 14:8  And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 

Zechariah 14:9  And the LORD [Yehovah] shall be king over all the earth: …

Zechariah 14:9  … in that day shall there be one LORD [Yehovah], and his name one. 

One!

Zechariah 14:10  All the land …

“Ha erets.” The land of Israel. 

Zechariah 14:10  … shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses. 

This is where the valleys come up and the mountains are made low, and this is the new heaven and the new earth. It happens at the very close of the Great Day of the LORD, not in the Millennium. You want to listen to the church? They got no scriptures for it.

Zechariah 14:11  And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] shall be safely inhabited. 

Zechariah 14:12  And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD [Yehovah] will smite all the people [“am,” people] that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 

Now, the two witnesses have the power to put any plague they want on people anytime they want, and they’re still here. They didn’t go anywhere. The tribulation hasn’t happened yet. They’re still working with Israel. It could be the glory of God of Israel did it, too. 

Zechariah 14:13  And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD [Yehovah] shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 

Zechariah 14:14  And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; …

See, we’re going to fight. 

Zechariah 14:14  … and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 

We’ll be even richer. “The wealth of the sinner stored up for the righteous.” Israel’s going to be the righteous, and the sinners are – we know who they are. 

Proverbs 13:22  A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth 

of the sinner is laid up for the just. 

Zechariah 14:15  And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

These are the animals that belong to the enemy.

Zechariah 14:16  And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations [goyim, heathen] which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD [Yehovah] of hosts[armies], and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

So, they have to go up once a year, worship Yehovah, and keep the Feast of Tabernacles. That’s it. It’s not that hard. 

Zechariah 14:17  And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] to worship the King, the LORD [Yehovah] of hosts [armies], even upon them shall be no rain. 

Who do you know that can shut the rain off? The two witnesses. It’s obvious. They’re still here. Zechariah talks about the two witnesses a lot in chapter 4. 

Zechariah 14:18  And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD [Yehovah] will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:19  This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

Zechariah 14:20  In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD [Yehovah]; and the pots in the LORD’S [Yehovah’s] house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 

Zechariah 14:21  Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD [Yehovah] of hosts [armies]: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD [Yehovah] of hosts [armies].  

So, this is the end of the Great Day of the LORD. And now we go to Ezekiel 43. I got to do this to explain the tribulation to you. You won’t get it otherwise. Many people won’t get it ever, called but not chosen. In Ezekiel 43, it carries on, and it shows us, basically, what’s going to happen next, after the mount of Olives was split open and the Glory, the Kabodvreturns to his house, the next temple.  

Ezekiel 43:1  Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 

Ezekiel 43:2  And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: …

That’s where the mount of Olives is. 

Ezekiel 43:2  … and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his 

glory. 

Ezekiel 43:3  And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: …

And that’s when he was prophetically told that Jerusalem was going to be destroyed, and he was 

going into Babylon captivity, and so forth. 

Ezekiel 43:3  … and the visions were like the vision that I saw …

Because God has to have it spoken first to his prophets, he said it before he came to destroy the city, because the city wouldn’t be destroyed before he, as a prophet, came forth and announced it. 

Ezekiel 43:3  … like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; …

That’s Ezekiel 1 and 2, if you’re interested. You can see what the churches call the epiphany in the seminaries. It’s the agility of God of Israel. 

Ezekiel 43:3  … and I fell upon my face. 

Ezekiel 43:4  And the glory of the LORD [Yehovah] came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 

So, he’s going in the house, the temple, some thing.

Ezekiel 43:5  So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD [Yehovah] filled the house. 

Ezekiel 43:6  And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me. 

Ezekiel 43:7  And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell …

He’s living in this temple. This is the house not made by hands that the LORD made. It comes down from heaven, okay. It comes down from heaven. He lives there. We build the gate around it – things like that. We decorate it, but we don’t build it. We build the altar, but we don’t build the house. It comes from YHVH.

Ezekiel 43:7  … soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, …

Forever means forever. The tribulation hasn’t happened yet. How’s the tribulation going to come on Israel when the glory of God of Israel is dwelling in the temple with them? It can’t happen. You can’t take him out. This is Michael, the biggest, toughest angel. You can’t. You can’t hurt him.  

Ezekiel 43:7  … and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. 

Ezekiel 43:8  In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 

This is the past. 

Ezekiel 43:9  Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, …

Jeremiah 31:31-34 has already happened at the close of the Great Day of the LORD. 

Jeremiah 31:31  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD [Yehovah], that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 

Jeremiah 31:32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD [Yehovah]: 

Jeremiah 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD [Yehovah], I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

Jeremiah 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD [Yehovah]: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD [Yehovah]: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 

“So they shall all know me from the least to the greatest.” It’s happened. He gives them a heart of flesh. He puts the law in their hearts. They’re changed. “They shall all know me.” That’s why none of this is gonna happen again. God doesn’t just drop the tribulation on you just to be doing it when you’re walking right with him.

Ezekiel 43:9  … and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. 

Ezekiel 43:10  Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. 

And what it is – if you keep reading it, which I can’t read all these chapters; there’s not enough time – Israel is given the laws, the ordinances, and the pattern or the layout of the temple. So, when it’s there, they’ll know how to behave, go in and out, what to do and what not to do, and they’ll be able to recognize – oh, this is what this part of the temple is, and that, and so forth. But there’s no specific highly accurate information that would enable them to make a blueprint to actually construct the temple. It’s not like what was given with Moses and the Tabernacle. 

So, now Israel’s been purged. It’s redeemed. They’re living rich and wealthy, and they’re following the law, the two witnesses, and they have the glory of God of Israel there.

And the nations fall away. They stop going up and worshiping at the Feast of Tabernacles. They 

get no rain, courtesy of the two witnesses. So, that’s why it talks about, it’s so important no man can buy and sell without the mark of the Beast, and you’re not going to get the mark unless you sell out and worship the Beast, okay? Because there’s going to be a food shortage because of no rain. So, they’re not saying, “You need to get the mark. It’s so important. You’re not going to be able to buy new sandals without it.” That’s not what it’s about. It’s about food. You’re not going to be able to buy food. So, because of the food shortage, these people are going to be tested, and they’re going to go the way of satan, and they’re going to take the mark, and they’re going to be able to buy what little food there is. Meanwhile Israel with temple is behaving correctly and will have the blessings of the Law on them with abundant food and everything else. 

The church confuses you with the antichrist and the Beast. The antichrist is confusion, because, even when they wrote the New Testament, they said, “Even now there’s many antichrists among you.” 

1 John 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Antichrist means someone who’s opposed to Christ.

Alright. Let me get my thoughts together, and we’ll focus on the Beast’s temple, and what goes on in the tribulation next, okay? 

The nations are rebelling. You know, it says that tribulation, you know, it’s … Let me find that for you. I gotta look that up. 

Romans 2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, …

It says …

Romans 2:9  … and also of the Gentile; 

But it doesn’t say that. It means the Greeks. They were the non-Jews, okay. It doesn’t say “also.” It says the non-Jews those without God.

Romans 2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, …

And then it goes on … 

Romans 2:10  … and also to the Gentile: 

It doesn’t say that. It says to the Jew and the Greek, or to the non-Jew.

Romans 2:11  For there is no respect of persons with God. 

Alright, so what you’re seeing here is explaining this to you. Israel has a tribulation, if you want to call it that, on the Great Day of the LORD, but it says …

Romans 2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, …

So, the ones in Israel – Israel is no longer being judged corporately, okay? In the past, if a lot of them were doing evil, the whole nation got punished. But now, just the bad individuals get punished the rest get the mark and no harm comes to them.

By the way, the temple in Ezekiel 8-11 matches no other temple. There’s three previous temples. 

They say two. They’re crazy. They’re lying to you. Solomon’s temple, Zerubbabel’s temple, and Herod’s temple. There’s no architectural match between Ezekiel’s Temple and any of the 3 previous temples. And the glory of God of Israel was never in any of these temples except very briefly, he went in and then went out, to anoint Solomon’s Temple. So, it can’t be any of the previous temples. So, Ezekiel 8-11 pretty much has to be the next temple. Ezekiel’s temple. Churches are never going to teach you that. 

So, now Israel is restored. They’re the head of the nations. They’re serving Yeshua and Yehovah, and they have the glory of God of Israel with them. The two witnesses are still with them as the judges. The Levites and the “Kohanim” and the sons of “Zadok” are restored, and they’re doing the offerings, and everything’s good, and the nations are falling away. 

So, why should he punish Israel for that? He doesn’t. The nations get punished now. Now, the debunking of the lies from the church, and I accurately call them lies, is easy to pin down. I’ve done this many times, but I’ll do it again.

Revelation 13. John is talking. 

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

This is the Beast the whore is riding on in Revelation 17, but the whore’s had her flesh eaten, and she’s been burned up, so the whore’s not in place anymore. And it says in the last line of Revelation 17, the whore is that great city, which is Washington DC, okay? 

Revelation 17:18  And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 

So, the Beast probably comes up, I’m sure, after Washington DC and the Daughter of Babylon are gone. How much after, I don’t know. Probably pretty quickly. 

Revelation 13:2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, …

Satan gives him his power. Satan’s the dragon. 

Revelation 13:2  … and his seat, and great authority. 

Now, let’s just end all this church nonsense about this being in the Jerusalem temple. We’re going to end it, right now, and forever, okay? Satan gives him his seat. The Bible tells you where satan’s seat is at. Go to Revelation 2.

Revelation 2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos …

Pergamos is in Cyprus. Cyprus is never in Israel, Greater Israel, or otherwise. Our borders always stop on the Mediterranean. Cyprus is an overnight ferry boat ride away from Israel. It’s hundreds of miles. Now, when we have more northern parts of our territory, maybe it’s not going 

to be so far, but it’s never Israel, okay? And it’s not Pergamon. It’s Pergamos, not Pergamon.  

Revelation 2:12  … the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 

That’s Yeshua.

Revelation 2:13  I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: …

Boom. Satan’s seat is in Pergamos. It’s in Cyprus. That’s where the Beast goes. That’s where the false prophet goes. That’s where they set up the throne, the shrine, the temple in 2 Thessalonians. It is not the temple in Jerusalem. Get that down or the church will have you chasing your tail through these trying times coming ahead. It never happens in Israel, okay? 

The image that maketh desolate is an image. 

Daniel 11:31  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Daniel 12:11  And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

It’s like a statue or something like that, alright? And it’s put up in the gate between the inner and outer courtyards and never in the holiest the holies or anything like that. This is satan just making monkeys out of you guys, and if you listen to his pastors, they make monkeys out of you.

Revelation 2:13  I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 

Satan dwells in Pergamos. Satan’s seat is in Pergamos. That’s what the Bible says. If you want to listen to some goof who tells you that they made a replica of satan’s seat, it was made by hand and moved to Germany – you know, that’s so stupid, it doesn’t even deserve an explanation why you would even believe that, you know. Okay? 

All these crackpots with the buildings, and the denominations, and the big ministries that are 

teaching you this garbage, want to drag you to the lake of fire forever. So, they will wind up in the lake of fire forever. They will not be shown mercy. They are never going to get out of the lake of fire. There’s a good reason why they’re there. When you start saying the LORD is not merciful and stuff like that, you are saying God has to break his word and become a liar, because he doesn’t meet your definition of mercy. This is foolishness. You don’t have his wisdom, 

alright? 

So, let’s go to Revelation 11.

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power …

The word doesn’t doesn’t say the word power?

Revelation 11:3  … And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 

Now, it’s possible their ministry is a lot longer than that – maybe like 40 years or something like that, okay? Not three and a half years. Now, they might be prophesying in sackcloth in this temple in Pergamos for three and a half years. This is a possibility. But I think it’s not a literal number, okay? 

Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 

That’s taken directly out of Zechariah 4, pretty much.

Zechariah 4:2  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 

Zecharia 4:3  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 

Zechariah 4:11  Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 

Zechariah 4:12  And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 

Zechariah 4:13  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 

Zechariah 4:14  Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. 

Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, …

It could be lightning. 

Revelation 11:5  … and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, …

Now, it doesn’t mean just hurt them. If any man gets in the way of them, bothers them, harasses 

them, tries to make them make mistakes, stuff like that. It happens. 

Revelation 11:5  … and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 

Like Ananias and Sapphira were ones trying to hurt the apostles. Not like hitting them with a stick. They were trying to hurt them, so they got killed. It’ll be a similar type of thing. They were concealing how much money they sold their property for.

Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: …

Okay, that could be those three and a half years where they’re prophesying in that temple. 

Revelation 11:6  … and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 

They get to choose the plagues whenever they want, not like Moses and Aaron that were told what plague was going to be delivered at what time. 

Revelation 11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 

Now, it makes it seem like the Beast comes out of the pit after they finish their testimony. I doubt that. So, the way I would read it is – when they shall have finished their testimony, the Beast makes war with them and kills them. And they’re defining the Beast by saying the one that comes out of the bottomless pit, which is the one in Revelation 13. 

Revelation 11:8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, …

So, in this case, we’re seeing Pergamos referred to as “the great city” and Washington DC also. 

Revelation 11:8  … And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 

Yeshua was not crucified in Jerusalem. It says he was crucified outside the gates. He was outside the gates of Jerusalem. Get that down. 

Revelation 11:9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their 

dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 

Revelation 11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, 

and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on 

the earth.

Revelation 11:11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.  

Oh, I’ll bet.

Revelation 11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 

They went up just like Yeshua went up, because Yeshua said you don’t go up to heaven unless you come down from heaven, and they are his brothers. Read Zech.4:14 in an interline.ar Hebrew English. It says the are the two sons of clsrified oil which is referencing anointing oil. It is saying they are YHVH’s anointed sons. That’s what it says. Christ or Mashiach means anointed.I know the churches never teach this but it is in the word of God.

John 3:13  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

If you read Zechariah 4 carefully, and if you use a good translation, they’re his brothers, and they came down from heaven like him, and they go back up, and this is necessary for the restoration of all things, too. 

Revelation 11:13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 

Revelation 11:14  The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 

Rev 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ [anointed]; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 

Revelation 11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 

Revelation 11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.  

Okay, so during the nations’ tribulations, they have a lot of bad stuff happen to them. They get 

boils. Those are the plagues. It’s the two witnesses, I’m pretty sure, doing it. The sun bakes down on them. They try to find death, but they can’t find death, so they might throw themselves off roofs, and stab themselves, and stuff like that, and they still can’t die. Thus they will probably resemble Hollywood zombies or walking dead. And then, they got the locusts that come. Now, the locust is probably a sign of the beginning of the tribulation.

You see this in Revelation 9.

Revelation 9:1  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: …

It’s probably satan.

Revelation 9:1  … and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 

Revelation 9:2  And he opened the bottomless pit; …

It may not be satan. 

Revelation 9:2  … And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; …

Now, we haven’t seen this yet.

Revelation 9:2  … and the sun and the air were darkened …

We haven’t seen this yet.

Revelation 9:2  … by reason of the smoke of the pit. 

Revelation 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. 

Revelation 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. 

Revelation 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. 

Revelation 9:6  And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 

Revelation 9:7  And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their 

heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 

Revelation 9:8  And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 

Revelation 9:9  And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of 

their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 

Revelation 9:10  And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 

It’s not a very long tribulation. 

Revelation 9:11  And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, … 

That’s the schmuck, the Beast. 

Revelation 9:11  … whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 

Revelation 9:12  One woe is past; 

There’s two more woes. 

Alright. Now, I’m not going to spend a lot of time doing the tribulation. Why? Because we need to concern ourselves with it when it’s going to happen, and to whom, and roughly what it involves, but it’s not – we’ve got to be concerned more about the Daughter of Babylon, Jeremiah 30:11, Zechariah 12, the Second Exodus. Then, we have to be more concerned about the Great Day of the LORD and getting reestablished. And then – this is years away – then we can spend a lot of time on going through the tribulation. But the church likes you to worry about things that aren’t going to come up for a long time. It’s a waste. It’s not a waste, I mean. All scripture study is good, but it’s a lot of time, and I’d rather we focus on other things.

I want to show you something about the locust, though, in Luke 10. 

Luke 10:17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

Luke 10:18  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.   

Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, …

Now, those are the locusts that have the tails like scorpions and serpents. He says you can tread on them, wipe your feet on them, walk on them, and stomp them.

Luke 10:19  … and over all the power of the enemy: … 

So, anything the enemy can do, you could tread on them or undo it.

Luke 10:19  … and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 

Okay, so you don’t have to be concerned with these scorpions. You’ll probably have a mark or 

seal on your forehead, and it’s not going to be for you. You’re not going to be affected by it.

Now, going back to the Great Day of the LORD, there’s something that we need to cover that’s brief in the Book of Joel.

Joel 2:10  The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the 

moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 

That’s the actual beginning of the Great Day of the LORD. The sun and the moon are both dark, and the stars are falling. They’re not up in the sky. They’re not shining in the sky. That’s the actual beginning. 

Joel 2:11  And the LORD [Yehovah] shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 

When it talks about, you know, these – it looks like soldiers climbing on the walls, going in the windows, there’s a huge amount of them – you’re got to remember to read the following verse. 

Joel 2:20  But I will remove far off from you the northern army, …

The word army does not appear. It’s added in.

Joel 2:20  … the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. 

These are the pestilence, bugs, the caterpillars, cankerworms, and stuff like that. 

Joel 2:21  Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD [Yehovah] will do great things.

Joel 2:22  Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.  

Joel 2:23  Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim]: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 

It could be locusts, too, but I don’t think it’s these locusts. It could be these locust, but I don’t think so, because they’re not tormenting people for five months and stuff like that here. So, it’s something else. It could be locusts. 

Here’s the clue, the key to it. 

Joel 2:25  And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 

So, that’s the army. It’s locust. All these four things that eat the crops. You got it? It’s not those 

locusts, okay, so let’s not go there.

Joel 2:26  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim], that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 

So, the army they talk about from China or whatever – these bugs are what it is – not people.  The church is so ridiculous.

Joel 2:30  And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 

Now, listen to this.

Joel 2:31  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, …

These, you know, tan colored or amber colored harvest moons are not blood moons. There’s only one blood moon ever – forever, ever, ever! And it hasn’t happened yet. So, don’t listen to these church derelicts trying to sell your books about this to make merchandise out of you. It’s just lies.

Joel 2:31  … and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.  

So, before the Great Day of the LORD, the moon turns to blood, and the sun goes dark. The stars are still there.

At the Great Day of the LORD, the sun and moon go dark, and the stars fall down, not giving their light. Okay?

So, I think we covered a lot here. Yes, there is a tribulation. Yes, it happens to the nations. I showed you why it doesn’t happen to Israel. It ends tragically for them, because at the end, after the two witnesses are killed and rise from the dead, there’s a big earthquake. Many are killed. Many give glory to God. And then Yeshua comes down and wipes out the enemies in Revelation 19. We’ll talk about that with New Jerusalem, okay?

I hope I’m making sense, and you guys are picking this stuff up. it’s a shame that we have to unlearn the Church Bible teachings before we can learn the true Gospel. Kind of happens at the same time, really.
