Revelation, Chapter 6 (Part 1): WWIII & The Crowned White Horse Rider

Bible Prophecy Master Class, Part 3 by Alvin Mitchell A number of things, false doctrine (I guess you might say), should be cleared up right here, right from the beginning, namely (contrary to the thinking of even well-known teachers like John MacArthur of the Grace to You Bible teaching broadcast): · The Seal, Trumpet and Bowl Judgments are not repetitions of the same events; that is, they are not references to one set of 7 events, stated in 3 different ways; in fact, the Trumpet Judgments simply cannot transpire until after the 7th Seal is opened, and the Bowls cannot and will not occur until after the 7th Trumpet; the nature of the events in each set of judgments do not in any way correspond, as each comes with its own signature, in terms of collateral damages, etc. · The rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 is not the beast, aka, the anti-Christ (or, one-world ruler) mentioned in chapters 11, 13 and 17 · The events in chapter 6 are not the Battle of Armageddon · The rider on the white horse is not peddling peace; rather, by going out “conquering and to conquer”, his mission and his intention is to upend and to destroy whatever peace there is, which he is able to facilitate without personal involvement himself; thus, he “has no arrows”; he is or will be the instigator of all the wars amongst the nations · The conflicts and the fighting in chapter 6 is not a gathering of the nations at Armageddon to surround Israel (per the will of God), as rather this is a global melee in which the nations attack and fight each other, in their respective lands, not Israel · The appearance of Christ at the end of chapter 6 has nothing to do with His coming at Armageddon At this juncture, the mystery of the Scroll begins to unfold. Originally in the Hands of the One seated upon the Throne (God the Father), it is now in the competent Hands of God the Son, the Lamb, the only Being in the entire universe worthy to break its seals, so as to expose and set in motion the edicts of its contents. It contains the highlights of 21 major events, all judgments in three broad categories or groups of seven each. These major events are further delineated by 3 “woes”. The term ‘woe’ generally means “grief” or “affliction”. Its usage in this context of the Revelation is meant to preclude the overlapping or superimposition of any one group of judgments over another—that is, the Trumpets are not a restating of the Seals, and the Bowls do not happen at the same time as either the Seals or the Trumpets. All 21 major events and the “woes” characterize or spell out the requisite defining moments of this entire period of seven-years-plus we know as the Apocalypse, or the Great Tribulation Period (in evangelical/fundamentalist circles). Thus, this is a time of great judgment upon all mankind, designed to do several things (although in fact it is not merely a time of judgment, per se, in light of the attention given to evangelism as well, and the evident high anticipation/expectation as relates to two mass harvests of precious souls): 1) to gather up the remainder of the saints , 2) to force mankind to face the reality and the wrath of the Lamb and, 3) to prepare the remainder of rebel mankind for the humbling, submissive role he will play throughout the Millennial Reign.

Ezekiel 38:1-3 Gog & Magog: Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #6)

Bible Prophecy Master Class, Part 2 by Alvin Mitchell This chapter or section commences with Yahweh’s bid for the attention of His mouthpiece (Jehovah: the Self-Existent, Eternal One): Son of man, Ezekiel, is called, set your face prophetically against one named Gog, who lives in a land of Magog. This passage is somewhat problematic, due in part perhaps to translation problems experienced by the original translators. Thus, perhaps, the best route to any potentially accurate interpretation may be a careful defining of terms. The word Gog simply means “mountain”. It is used only 10 times throughout the Old Testament: 1 in 1 Chronicles, 7 times here in Ezekiel. It occurs 1 time in the Book of the Revelation. It is not immediately clear (by its use in :2) whether the reference is to an individual, or, to a region. What is clear, is that, the symbolism here points to stature or status, as it relates to others around it or him. Therefore, whether it refers to a person, or a geographical location, this one is one who is the most prominent of all. It might best be interpreted as a “title”, more so than an actual name—although, as will be shown, to further distinguish this one and to accentuate his prominence, this name does in fact carry a separate and distinct ‘title’. “…land of…” is a translation of the Hebrew word “erets”. It is used over 2500 times in the OT, and is translated variously, but quite often as “land”, “region” or “territory”. Adding to the confusion or, more specifically, to the riddle is the apparent mistranslation or mishandling of the term “Magog” (by the KJV workers). In the OT, it is used only 4 times: 1 in Genesis 10, 1 in 1 Chronicles 1, and 1 in Ezekiel. It, like the term Gog, also appears in the Book of the Revelation. We know from the Table of Nations found in Genesis 10 and in 1 Chronicles 1 that Magog was one of the descendants of Noah, following dissipation of the Flood Waters. Thus, it is the name of a person. However, the term itself literally means “land of Gog”—hereby, implying the past existence of a descendant of Noah, whose name being “Gog” (no doubt, a predecessor to Magog), was applied to a smaller geographical area within the broader context of ‘erets’ or “the land of” (in which case it was rendered the “land of Gog” or, Magog—which was in turn applied as a formal name to a prominent descendant of Noah). Magog is used to refer to the place or region where the descendants of Magog settled, between the mountains of Cappadocia and Media. Thus, insofar as the expression “…chief prince…” modifies Gog—not Magog—that appears to be the best sense of its usage here. Therefore, God’s address ultimately is to a “mountain” (Gog), in the midst of a region led by or subordinate to the “mountain” (Magog, as in, a capital state), which is itself a sub-region of a broader geographical area (retz, or, “land of”, or, nation).

Texas Tea In Israel: Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #5)

Bible Prophecy Master Class, Part 2 by Alvin Mitchell Texas Tea Black Gold in Israel? (Isaiah 45:1-6) This is what Yahweh (Jehovah) says to His messiah (anointed), to Cyrus…I will give you a depository in darkness, a secret storehouse (a buried secret valuable) in a concealed or covert (place), so that you may know that I, Yahweh, who calls you by name, (am) the God of Israel. For the sake (benefit) of my servant Jacob, and that of Israel my chosen (one), I have called you by name…even though you don’t know Me…so that from the rising of the sun (in the east), and to (its setting in) the west, all others may know that there is none else beside Me… This prophecy is directed to Cyrus, the pagan Medo-Persian king who was entrusted with the responsibility of returning the Jews to their homeland following their seventy-year’ stint in captivity to the Babylonians. The irony here is, Cyrus never got the message! He lived and ruled during the latter years of Daniel, at the time of the end of the Babylonian captivity. Isaiah, who delivered the prophecy, lived approximately 200 years before the seventy years of deportation. Thus, God’s instruction to the prophet was, effectively, such that he was to speak to the king, but not directly (or, put another way, maybe even more accurately: the prophet Isaiah spoke at the king but not to him); not in his presence (this was fairly commonplace in Old Testament prophecies, when a message had long term significance, and so, was simply to be reduced to writing, as its realization would, or could only be read with appreciation in some generation to come). Nor were the Jews significantly benefited, beyond what might be considered the ordinary or norm, by Cyrus. So, what was the point? In defining the term “anointed” (messiah, maw-shee’-yach) used here, Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance adds that Cyrus’s position here is more a symbolic or figurative gesture, than a literal one, given that he never knew. That is, insofar as he never heard the prophecy, it is therefore only fitting to conclude that Cyrus as a “messiah” was so only as one who merely prefigured someone else who was to come, someone who in spirit or character would be not just similar to this Cyrus the king, but would be in a unique position so as to, per God’s Divine design, do the Jews a significant good. There is positively no record, biblical or otherwise, of this or any other king or person of any note performing this type of service on behalf of or in the interest of the people of God (not during the inter-testaments period, not during New Testament times, and at no point during the two-thousand-year interim period between then and now). No hidden treasures have ever been unearthed by any foreign power, since their release from Babylonian exile, only to be turned over to them. Yet, the historical record is clear: there is indeed plenty of precedent for just such a deed to occur. The Jews have a definite, dire need for just such a blessing. The Oilmen Cometh

The Wealth of the Death Sea: Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #4)

Good Health & Cosmetology: From a Sea Known for Death? Of all the mineral salts known to exist in the Sea of Salt region, those in highest concentration include Magnesium, Calcium, Bromide, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfur. Magnesium chloride (53%), potassium chloride (37%), and sodium chloride or common table salt (8%) are the most abundant, while the remainder occur chiefly in trace elements. One has yet to obtain current estimates as to the approximate net worth of the Dead Sea region, but its value seems to rest mainly in its ability to draw tourists and in mineral extraction. During the mid-70s, the estimated value of the roughly 50 mile long by 11-mile-wide pothole was set at around four times the net worth of the US, or greater than the four richest European nations combined (or, something like that! Memory now starting to fade! One article dated 02/17/1929 quoted Sir Herbert Samuel who put the net worth at around 4 billion dollars!). People who know about Israel’s Sea of Salt are drawn to it from all around the globe for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are medicinal, therapeutic, and cosmetic, shelter accommodation being provided by many first-class hotels after the order of the likes of the Hyatt. Jewish historian Flavius Josephus is said to have remarked, nearly 2000 years ago, something to the effect that the Dead Sea was worthy of praise, owing to the healing aspect and impact of its salts upon the human body. Thousands who suffer from psoriasis are said to have been treated effectively by the minerals-laden water, supplemented by a follow-up of bathing under a sun known to be gentler and kinder to exposed skin, nowhere else on earth (otherwise harmful solar radiation, some say, is blocked by an atmospheric oxygen level higher than any place else in the world). A bromine concentration 50 times greater than the open seas leaves one feeling relaxed, following a dip, while the magnesium level 15 times that of any ocean makes the skin smooth. Even this lake’s black mud, equally rich in minerals (heated to 117oF), is hailed as therapeutic and desirable as a treatment for physical ailments like arthritis. Cosmetic products from the Salt Sea are said to be highly prized, much sought after and sold all over the world. While one has never seen the movie (movies) about her, having only read something of her royal, short but sordid and miserable life today (04/08/05), it has been said that the supposedly brilliant Egyptian Queen Cleopatra built cosmetic and pharmaceutical factories in the area, having obtained rights of exclusivity. The Queen of Sheba, of King Solomon fame, was also a visitor almost one thousand years earlier.

Renaissance: Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #3)

The Valley of Dry Bones: Israel Reborn To Nationhood! Before there could be any fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39, there had first to be a nation of Israel (That such a nation would ever arise again was unlikely, even in the eyes of a Jew. That this nation would ever rise to the level of global hegemony must be something of a nightmare to those of the world of Islam and other Jew haters! Nonetheless, God says it is to be!). At the time of Ezekiel’s writing, the nation was largely ‘kaput’—that is, as the nation it was supposed to be, it did not exist. Israel, the northern kingdom, had been destroyed and carried off by the Assyrians, centuries earlier. Judah was in captivity, in Babylon…at the time of Ezekiel’s writing. The stage upon which the Christ would be born had yet to be set. Thus, the nation had to revive and die a second time, before Ezekiel’s confrontation could materialize. Dead though it was in Ezekiel’s day, die it would again, as we shall see. All the prophecies regarding the end-times are highly significant, worthy to be studied and mused upon by the child of God and student of scripture. None should ever be taken lightly. All, in context—being mindful of God’s heavy use of symbolism—can be taken literally. Perhaps the pinnacle of all the eschatological prophecies, it might be argued, is this one: the return of that most despised, beaten down, bruised and battered of all human beings from his lowly estate to sit once again as a people—in the face of all of his detractors—not just as a nation, but, to be actually ultimately elevated to a position so that his is—to the consternation of multitudes—above the nations. This will occur during the millennial reign, yes, but the Bible makes it clear it will occur as well before His return. All this, per the word and will of the Living God; his God, who Lives!—following two thousand years of often brutal, sometimes deadly mistreatment.

Signs of the Times: Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #2)

Signs are for our Times No Christian even as late as the year 1900 (even in America!) could ever have envisioned this day. Only the hardiest of the faithful as of 1950 might have had eyeballs capable of such reach. None of those having pioneered and laid the groundwork in their respective fields, could ever have imagined the need for the vision of the likes of upstarts Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Yet, where would we be today without them? To some degree, their work was paramount to the accomplishment of the biblical signs, if in no other way than that theirs opened up new ways and avenues into the world of computers for whole new generation of thinkers, geeks and tinkerers, that would not have been, had they not been. With those fresh minds came fresh ideas, most instrumental in the fomenting and fitting together of all the new pieces essential to the fabrication of the path leading to God’s Apocalypse. Amazingly, many in the flock, even in light of the gravity of their contributions and the attachment of myriads of ramifications thereof—manifested daily, playing constantly across the stage of life—still do not see; they just, don’t quite get it. The Apocalypse…is upon us—all of its main ingredients are in place; the die is cast, the type is set (yet, many a Bible tottin’, church going person…is not saved!)—all that is needful is a few finishing touches (regardless of when God actually decides to give the final “nod”, signaling, “it’s time. Bring the church home. Pull the plug! Open the flood gates”!). From this vantage point, one can virtually see the finish—though it is still at best a kind of “fuzzy logic”, at the end of a once completely darkened tunnel, one that grows ever brighter, with each setting sun. Although there are essentially no scriptures left to be fulfilled before the Lord Jesus’ invisible return to affect the Rapture (the “catching-up”) of His church prior to this awful, dreadful, closing chapter in the life of mankind as we know it (1 Thessalonians 4) and, although all or at the very least most all of the technological building blocks needed to facilitate those remaining, and leading over the threshold into this period are in place, there are, no less, a few scriptures that await the realization of the aforesaid ‘technological building-blocks’ and that must be fulfilled, before the Apocalypse can take place. All that is necessary from here is a kind of rounding out of rough edges, topped by a supplement of refinement (perhaps), followed up with the final “assembly”. Consider these scriptures:

Judgment Day, Volume #2, Israel...Global Superpower: A Muslim's Nightmare! (Episode #1)

Bible Prophecy Master Class, Part 2 by Alvin Mitchell How can so small a nation as Israel command so much of the world’s attention? Why? After several massive failed attempts in the 60s and 70s, why do the Muslim nations remain determined and committed not just to belittle or subjugate or drive them out of the Middle East but to, quite literally, kill everything and everyone “Jewish”? Undeniably, the United States of America plays a huge role in their survival at this hour, but, how will they survive without the Melting Pot? This book presents a study of end-times prophecy as it relates to the question of the future of the nation of Israel and the Jews, per the Holy Bible. The Mayans said the world would end in 2012. The Islamic Muslims of Persia (Tehran) said they would subject the world under the foot of Shariah first. With a powerful ally and chief trading partner (Magog) making waves and flexing insolent muscle in Crimea, Ukraine, it seems they might be right (each nurturing defiant appetites impervious to curbing by tough talk, international sanctions, etc.). Doubtless they will, if, that is, they can collectively circumnavigate and survive the inevitable, Divinely engineered, blood-drenched clash of (what cannot but be termed) an explosive conflict of interests. I.e., for 2500 years, long before the advent of Mohammed and the Koran, the Holy Bible has held that the Jews will someday rule the world. Ezekiel, the Jewish priest and prophet, tells how. In a turn of events as bizarre and seemingly as unlikely as the rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948—certainly a nightmarish scenario, for any Muslim—so the Bible pictures another Holocaust attempt that goes horribly wrong, in favor of the objects of its sore disaffection. It will leave the Jews not only very much alive, but for the first time ever, high on the hog of the world’s geo-political, socio-economic fabric. Per chapter 38 of Ezekiel, at some point, in the not too distant future, a coalition of Arab and EU nations led by Russia will—with great stealth, in utmost secrecy—cross over the mountains into Israel, with one solemn, venomous, highly toxic objective—crush, kill, and completely annihilate every Jew, before they know what hit them. In this book, Judgment Day, Volume 2; Prelude to Armageddon (Part 2): Israel and the Jews Catapulted to Global Superpower Status, Christian, author, and retired truck driver Alvin Mitchell details how the most despised people on the planet will narrowly elude the rapacious fangs of death, virtually unscathed, to achieve the unthinkable. Land and oil—of which no one in Israel can now avail himself—will soon be under Israeli control. The might of Russia’s industry and its military will be in Jew hands. Important but little known facts of the Jewish persona as well as Russia’s place in end-times prophecy will be established. It will thoroughly explain how a pothole of the most lifeless (water)—and one would think, the most useless water on the planet—contains and now bankrolls the Israeli economy, having had at one time an estimated value four times the worth of the four richest economies on earth. Judgment Day, Volume 2; Prelude to Armageddon (Part 2) ): Israel and the Jews Catapulted to Global Superpower Status (subtitle: A Muslim’s Nightmare!) is must-reading for all Christians. No church or school-based Bible prophecy

America__In The Clutch of a 5th Column

The Fifth Column “We can beat anybody, on the battlefield,” one American general gloated publicly, during the summer of 2006, or so. By most accounts and measures, in all-out war, not likely too many informed souls would argue with that assertion. Yet, on the battlefield, or, not, beaten she must and will be. The means having been established in the previous discussion, the prevailing question only looms larger: How? Regardless of strength and heedless of might, on the battlefield and off, the creative and clever among U. S. enemies have been devising simple but highly effective and deadly means of exploiting holes and kinks in her armor. 9/11 being perhaps a prime example, the solution becomes quite simple, does it not? Recall again the Trojan Horse from Greek mythology. Fabled though it was thousands of years ago, might it not be a tale worth revisiting, in these dangerous, last times? War is Good For The Economy! On September 11, 2001, forces led by a blond-haired and blue-eyed monster breached America’s security posture, completely shutting it down and bypassing it, at a critical and most dangerous time in the history of the United States of America, and of the world (the black-haired, jibberish-speaking Arab is merely an otherwise inconsequential tool; a convenient means to an end, a scapegoat, at his complete disposal). Corporate bigwigs who run the country’s government and defense industries, who live, breathe and who thrive on the notion that “war is good for the economy” (Side Bar: War is Good for the Economy! P. 185), will provoke the attack that will lead to the inevitable downfall of these United States of America. It might be argued, quite rightly, that 02/26/1993 was a precursor to 9/11/2001, which was without a doubt a blood-soaked ‘dry’ run, precursory to much bigger, more far-reaching, even bloodier, things to come. It provided valuable, firsthand battlefield reconnaissance and thus the assurance that, not only does the enemy have control, but he also has the high ground from which he can dictate and take complete control of U. S. defense systems and forces, anytime he wants, on his terms. The WTC incident did not happen in some remote area, at night, when and where visibility might have been obscure at best. It occurred in broad daylight, in the front yard of the heartbeat of this nation’s government and defense systems, right under the noses of the nation’s top officials entrusted with the over-sight of either. It occurred not just following months of preparation for a national crisis, but in the midst of an exercise to prevent one, while the wrong man was in charge of the country’s chief defense mechanism! The Enemy Is Us!
