In the Charles Finney Bible School, we are going through Prayer. God does nothing without prayer. Certainly in Revelation Chapter 5 of the Christian Bible we see the prayers of the saints accompanies God’s revelation to all mankind of his Book:
Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Now what does this Book of God contain? It contains God’s plan for The Creation, The Fall and The Eternal Redemption.
God Is Angry At The Sinner – Christian Bible September 13, 2008

Look at the Judgments of God in Revelation Chapter 6. God made HELL for the sinner that he may be damned.
Are we sinners? Well then the Bible says that God is angry with us. This is a very good Church Sermon for your main Church Service.
The whole purpose for Church is for people to repent, and the whole purpose of attending is to confess your sins.
The sermon must show sinners that God cannot accept them as long as they are in Sin. Make this point clear in your message, and you will receive a blessing of much fruit for your labours.
We see in this Chapter 6 of Revelation the first appearance of the beast for the first time. There are four beasts, because in Daniel’s vision he sees Four beasts coming up out of the sea (Daniel Chapter 7). These four horses combine to form the one beast of Revelation Chapter 13.
Just like the Four beasts in Daniel combine, they form the same beast of Revelation Chapter 13.
Then we see the Anger of God:
Revelation 6:
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
If you are a sinner, this anger is directed to you. Do not think it is for some people you do not know about. It is to you.
What Must I Do To Be Saved, and Sealed By God? – Christian Bible September 11, 2008

Either you belong to God, or you belong to the Beast, there is no third option. There is no purgatory. There is no halfway house.
In Revelation Chapter 7 of the Christian Bible, we see the saved. Those saved of Israel, 12 thousand of each of the 12 tribes, making up the 144,000
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Then we see the rest of mankind who are saved. This is us, all the believers in Christ. You can know for sure whether you are in this group of people. You do not have to wait until you die, you can know now. There is nothing mysterious about Salvation. You can have it now by confessing the Lord Jesus.
The book of Revelation is divided into 2 revelations. They each say the same thing, but in different ways.
FIRST REVELATION Revelation Chapters 6 – 11
SECOND REVELATION Revelation Chapters 12 - 22
The parallel Chapters of Chapter 7 in Revelation are Revelation Chapter 14 and Revelation Chapter 15.
In Revelation 14, the rest of mankind shown here as a great multitude, die and are not raptured.
Revelation 7:
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation 14:
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Death is something we cannot escape. However, it means salvation to us! Look at the Joys that await us:
Revelation 7:
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 15
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
The Mark Of The Beast Is Here Today
The saved are gathered here, because they have not received the mark of the beast.
The next chapter, Revelation Chapter 8, and the parallel Chapter 16, tell us the plagues that follow those who have the mark of the Beast and who worship his image.
Let me say again, you are either in the fold of Jesus, or you are out. There is not a third option.
You do not have to physically decided to worship the beast – If you reject Jesus, you ARE worshipping the beast, whether you like it or not.
Therefore the Beast is here today.
In fact, the beast has been around since Jesus Christ walked the earth. EVERY believer in Christ has had to overcome the beast.
Therefore, what you hear about a future Tribulation is all false. This Chapter 7 of Revelation mentions Great Tribulation. But it is talking about the tribulation of saints throughout time. NOT in the future.
Do you see how the story told in Revelation Chapter 14 is the same as in this Chapter 7?
See, how the children of God are sealed in Revelation Chapter 14, who do not take the mark of the beast in Chapter 13?
They are sealed before the judgments strike the earth for those who have the mark of the beast.
Therefore, these plagues are not reserved for the time in future, but are indeed happening today, just as certainly as the mark of the beast, and the beast himself is around TODAY.
The Heart Of The Prophet Cries Out For Vengeance – Christian Bible September 9, 2008

So many sins are committed against God. The Spirit of the Lord in every believer cries out from within – How Long, Oh Lord, till you take vengeance on them that dwell on the earth?
It is a feeling that only the Holy Spirit can give. We have mixed feelings of compassion and vengeance. Compassion, and pity for the lost of the world. But then also vengeance that God’s great name will be made worthy.
There is also a great feeling to worship God. This is all the work of the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes we just want to sacrifice everything to just be with the fellowship of the believers. People who cry out day and night with the same feelings that the Holy Spirit gives to us.
Do you long for fellowship with people who have sacrificed to find God? Do you seek and yearn for spiritual company? Do you feel like you do not want the worldliness?
Well in Revelation Chapter 8 of the Christian Bible we can be satisfied. Here God shows his vengeance on the world. On those who worship the beast.
If you are truly filled with the Spirit of God, you will rejoice that vengeance is done on those who WORSHIP THE BEAST. Revelation 18 says, Rejoice! What for? For this very reason. Holy Vengeance -
Revelation 18:
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Halellujah! Do you cry… let the angel thrust her down? Deep into hell? Yes there is such a thing as holy vengeance, in the heart of God’s people. This is what we are talking about. The prayers of the saints are these feelings of Holy vengeance:
Revelation 8:
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
It’s smoke – the prayers on fire for vengeance!
Sinners begin to tremble -
“Wouldn’t my holy mother let me into heaven?”
Do you then expect that your mother would be glad to see you — that she would spread her mantle over you and take you up to heaven? Oh, if she were told that you were at the gate, she would hasten down to say, O my sinning child! you cannot enter heaven. Into this holy place nothing can by any means enter that “worketh abomination or maketh a lie.” You cannot — no, you cannot come!
If it were left to your own mother to decide the question of your admission, you could not come in. She would not open heaven’s gate for your admission. She knows you would disturb the bliss of heaven. She knows you would mar its purity and be an element of discord in its sympathies and in its songs.
- Charles Finney
So here we have Revelation Chapter 8, the same thing also revealed in Revelation Chapter 16. Notice how in both Revelation 8 and Revelation 16 there are first FOUR plagues which affect the environment, and then a FIFTH hurts the people, then the SIXTH is the river Euphrates, then the SEVENTH is the Judgment Day:
Revelation 8:
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 16:
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Revelation 16:
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Notice this feeling I have been describing is highlighted in RED above. In both Chapters we see the same thing revealed. It is the VENGEANCE of God taking place on mankind for TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
Armageddon, The Feast Of The Great God – Christian Bible September 8, 2008

Revelation is the book the beast does not want to understand. There are many false prophets who have build their whole cult on a false representation of Daniel or Revelation.
I was watching one programme about the End Of The World cult, and basically a 66 year old man was claiming to be the messiah, and he called himself Michael. Then he had a prophecy about Daniel’s Seventy weeks to predict the end of the world.
I believe the BEAST has sent in many people like this, to cause confusion and raise fear about the book of Revelation. The BEAST does not want us to study Revelation. He is trying to make us scared to think that we may be joining another cult.
Isn’t it funny? Do you think the enemy is afraid of what you will discover? I think so. As soon as you start to look into the prophecies in the Bible, you will break away from the BEAST. You will become a new person as you begin to understand the prophecies.
A Summary Of Revelation
Revelation can be broken down into the following parts:
THE PRESENT SITUATION
Revelation Chapters 1 – 3
GOD AND THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
Revelation Chapters 4 – 5
FIRST REVELATION Revelation Chapters 6 – 11
The four horses (Ch6), Those who have the victory (Ch7), then the seven trumpets (Ch8), till Armageddon (Ch9), Two Witnesses and angel from the bottomless pit (Ch10-11), Judgment Day (Ch11)
SECOND REVELATION Revelation Chapters 12 - 22
The Dragon and The Two beasts (Ch12-13), those who have the victory (Ch14-15), then the seven last plagues (Ch15), till Armageddon (Ch16),
The beast and Babylon (Ch17), then her fall (Ch18), Witness of the Word Of God (Ch19), Resurrection and angel from Bottomless Pit (Ch20), then Judgment Day (Ch20-21)
Armageddon
Today we will be studying Armageddon. From the above summary, we see the same Armageddon revealed twice, in Chapters 9 and 16.
In Revelation Chapter 9 of the Christian Bible, a very scary thing happens when the fifth angel sounds the trumpet.
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
This prepares the armies for the battle of Armageddon.
We can be sure about the Armageddon, and the end of Revelation Chapter 9 is a massive defeat for the armies of the world. This time we see people dying from Locusts and then Horsemen.
At the sixth Trumpet, the Horsemen are released, they come out of the river Euphrates,
Revelation 9:
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
This also happens in Revelation 16, when the sixth vial is poured out. Both come out of the River Euphrates. Both have THREE WEAPONS.
In Revelation 9, Sixth Trumpet releases River Euphrates plagues - Fire, Smoke, Brimstone.
In Revelation 16 Sixth vial releases River Euphrates plagues - Frog from dragon, Frog from beast, Frog from false prophet.
Revelation 16:
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
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.
SO we see clearly these are both about ARMAGEDDON.
What Happens Next?
Next comes the Witness of the Word of God Revelation 10,11 and also the witness of the Word of God Revelation 19. Do you see the similarities.

The mighty angel gives John a book to eat. This is John’s prophecy to many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (Revelation 10:11)
This prophecy comes to pass. Two witnesses appear in the next chapter of Revelation, and they are John’s testimony.
The Two Witnesses are the book, which the angel gives him to eat.
The Two Witnesses of God to the Gentiles – Christian Bible September 6, 2008

The two witnesses of God are always there, in every end-time book or teaching or movie.
Ask someone who the two witnesses are, and then ask them if the two witnesses are in Jerusalem when they prophesy, and you will discover whether that person is in truth or in error.
Most people do not know who the two witnesses are. Most people say it must be in the future, because they have not seen the two witnesses yet. And most people will accept any old story.
But these two witnesses are the most important to understand. We are warned to not ADD or TAKE anything away from the truth. It is a stern warning:
Revelation 22:
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I shudder when I think of the curse which follows all those end-time books and even movies which teach the wrong thing concerning these two witnesses.
The two witnesses are in Revelation Chapter 11 of the Christian Bible. The two witnesses are the witness of God TO THE GENTILES.
Why ? Why is it the witness to the Gentiles, and not to Israel?
- In the previous chapter which leads into this one, John is told in Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
- It mentions the 42 month period (which is the 1260 day period). This is the last half of Daniel’s seventieth week.
- It is the window of salvation for the Gentiles (Revelation 11:2)
- It is the period that the woman (who represents Israel) flees from the dragon (Revelation 12:6)
- It is the period of rule of the first Antichrist Beast (of Revelation chapter 13). This is the Antichrist beast to Israel, therefore Israel are not hearing the witness during this time. Revelation 11:2 …and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
- Although the holy city is being tread under foot during this period, they are NOT IN JERUSALEM. They are NOT in the HOLY city of Revelation 11:2, they are in the GREAT city: 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 staked.
- They stand before the God of the EARTH (Revelation11:4), and they smite the EARTH with all plagues (Revelation 11:6). Their witness is to the WHOLE EARTH.
- The people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies… Revelation 11:9
- …they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them… Revelation 11:10
- This chapter leads into Judgment Day of the whole world in 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.
So the two witnesses, is the witness of God to us. Do we say it is in Jerusalem, or it is in the future? This is error. If we take this lightly, and have the wrong understanding, we may be saying to God, that his witness to us is meaningless.
Let us beware that we do not do so.
The only one who can defeat the two witnesses of God is the BEAST …that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Revelation 11:7
The Millennium
This is the very same beast which ascends out of the bottomless pit in Revelation Chapter 20 after the 1000 years are expired.
Therefore, the 42 months or 1260 days of God’s witness to the gentiles is also 1000 years, sometimes called the MILLENNIAL RULE OF CHRIST.
The 1000 years always means God’s DAY of Judgment.
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
When we reign with Christ 1000 years it means, we escape the Judgment of God.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
This is where the Beast kills the two witnesses:
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.
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Gog and Magog is the same Sodom and Egypt!
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 staked.
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.
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 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
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.
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.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
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.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
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; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Conclusion
The only way we can escape God’s judgment is if we escape from the Beast.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The Beast, therefore, is the only thing we shold be worried about, as Christians.
People who misunderstand the TWO WITNESSES do not think the beast is the most important thing to know about.
Some people say the two witnesses are in the future.
But do you know who the beast is? Then how can you escape from him?

There is not one antichrist, but TWO. One for Israel, and one for the rest of the world.
What Is An Antichrist?
An Antichrist does not just appear from nowhere.
- An Antichrist COPIES God and then changes something very small. For example, an Antichrist Bible, copies the Bible, and then changes something small. Antichrist Church copies the true church and changes something small. An Antichrist convert copies a true convert and changes something small. Antichrist Beast copies what God looks like and then changes something small.
- An Antichrist REPLACES God. It makes itself to be the true God, or the true bible, or the true image of God by making a beast, or the true convert.
There are many antichrists, because there are many ways God reveals himself. Each time God reveals himself, the antichrist comes to copy.
God reveals himself through his word, the Bible, therefore, there are Antichrist bibles.
God reveals himself through his church and through preachers and through converts. Therefore today, there are antichrist churches and preachers and converts. They LOOK like churches, and they SOUND like preachers, and they APPEAR to be converts, but they have changed a LITTLE BIT from the original. They are antichrist.
God first revealed himself to Israel, in the Old Testament, and then to the rest of the world, in the New Testament. So God reveals himself twice in a major way.
So, although there are many antichrists, there are TWO MAIN antichrists which copy the two revelations of God, firstly to Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT, and secondly to the world in the NEW TESTAMENT.
This is why there are TWO BEASTS in Revelation Chapter 13 of the Christian Bible. One for the witness of the Old Testament, and one for the witness of the New Testament.
The First Beast
Let us look at the ORIGINAL and then the COPY.
1. The original appearance of God is to Ezekiel the Prophet. The first thing we see
Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
FOUR LIVING CREATURES. Then, the Antichrist version of this appears to Daniel:
Daniel 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Daniel 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
FOUR BEASTS. It’s incredible! Look at how similar Ezekiel and Daniel are. Yet one is the True God, the other is the Antichrist, who comes in as a copy.
2. The Original Appearance of Jesus in the Book of Revelation
Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
SEVEN HORNS AND SEVEN EYES. Then The Antichrist version of this appears to John
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
SEVEN HEADS AND SEVEN CROWNS. Amazing! This antichrist counterfeit is obviously not good enough for heaven because it gets thrown out (Revelation 12:9).
In Revelation Chapter 13, these FOUR BEASTS OF DANIEL COMBINE:
Its first head grafted in belongs to the first beast, Babylon the lion. Its second head to the second beast, Persia the bear. The next four heads belong to the third beast Greece the leopard which has four heads, Turkey, Syria, Egypt and Greece. This makes six heads, or six powers. And its last head which was wounded to death is Rome the terrible beast.
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.
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, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Now the next verse can be confusing:
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
What does 42 months mean?
Daniel’s Seventy Weeks
Let us look again at the announcement the angel gives to Daniel about the 70th week:
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Most people teach this is about a future Tribulation lasting 7 years. But this interpretation is wrong. To understand the 70th week read the article The Tribulation Is Not In The Future.
One week, meaning 7 years is divided in half.
Now, how many days are there in a year? If you said 365 you are wrong.
Originally the years were measured by the moon. Therefore, the months of the year were all about 30 days long, which is the time it takes the moon to go around. Then the year length is only 360 days. But, because the sun goes round 365 days a year, some years had to be longer by an extra month. So most years are 360 days long (12 months), but some years are 390 days long (13 months) (about 7 years in every 19 years).
So, when we talk of the 7 years of Daniel divided into half, normally, 3 and a half years is 42 months, agree?
But, because some years have 13 months the first 3 and a half years is 43 months long, and the last 3 and a half years is 42 months long.
Because the hebrew calander has Thirteen 30-day months some years (Hebrew leap year), the first half of the seven years is 1290 days (43 months), and the last half is 1260 days (42 months).
So wherever we see 1260 days and 42 months it is talking about the last half of the 7 years.
Lets look at the Scripture in Daniel again:
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The false teaching spread today is that Daniel 9:27 is talking about the Antichrist in “The Tribulation” instead of Jesus Christ. This is blasphemy. This verse clearly explains that Jesus Christ confirms the covenant with Israel for seven years. Half way through the 7 years (in the midst of the week) Jesus Christ shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease. Julius Caesar had already removed the DAILY sacrifice as we saw in Daniel chapter 8. Now halfway through the 7-year covenant after 3 ½ years of his earthly ministry from 27 AD to 31 AD, Jesus Christ is nailed up and when he dies, the curtain in the temple is torn in two. At that point, no more sacrifices and oblations are ever done again in the rebuilt temple of Jerusalem, which is why it says “he shall make it desolate”.
Daniel Chapter 12 also describes this period of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry counting the exact days:
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away (by Julius), and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
1290 days is the 3 ½ years of Jesus’ earthly ministry. 1335 days is up to the day of Pentecost as described in Acts Chapter 2.
1290 days and then 1260 days – Reveals the Antichrist
So to recap – the last 7 years is divided into 1290 days and 1260 days.
1290 days = Jesus’ witness to Israel, Ministry on Earth (43 months)
1260 days = The Antichrist witness to Israel, copy of Jesus (42 months)
the last half of the seven years, which is 1260 days or 42 months, is mentioned a few times. Remember when we asked what this means:
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Well, this means, the first beast is now COPYING Jesus’ time of ministry on the earth! Just like in everything else, the antichrist copies God. Doesn’t that explain how this beast has one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: (Revelation 13:3) It is trying to copy the death and resurrection of Jesus! We see this again here:
Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Ah, here we see it clearly. First, the Child Jesus comes, and after his ministry on earth he is caught up to God and to his throne. Then the antichrist works for 1260 days! He was even trying to follow Jesus up into heaven! Can you believe it! Amazing:
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Now what was the ministry of Jesus? It was a ministry to Israel. Jesus did not preach to the Greeks or Gentiles on purpose, unless they came to him. He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel. Therefore, the antichrist, also goes for the lost sheep of Israel, no doubt to make them even more lost. This is why this very same beast in Revelation Chapter 12 persecutes the WOMAN who has twelve stars on her head – she represents the lost sheep of Israel.
So this 1260 days, or 42 months is the Antichrist for the Israelites, the antichrist of the Revelation to Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT.
Say it out loud – the FIRST BEAST is the Antichrist for the witness to the Israelites!
The Second Beast
Yes, you have guessed it. the SECOND BEAST is the Antichrist for the witness to the Gentiles!
It all becomes simple, simple, simple this way. Let us look at the ORIGINAL witnesses to the Gentiles:
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.
Revelation 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
TWO OLIVE TREES. FIRE PROCEEDS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH Now look at the antichrist copy
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
TWO HORNS. FIRE COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN. Truly astonishing.
Also check out this second beast has horns like a lamb? Jesus is the Lamb of God. This is the copy. Clearly this is the antichrist for the Gentiles. Originally the Israelites had no miracles. It was only through the gospel the miracles began to happen. So, accordingly, this second beast, which is the antichrist of the Gentiles, also does miracles, just like Jesus gave his disciples power to do miracles.
So, as with everything else, there are true miracles, and then the antichrist comes in with his false miracles. BEWARE all you who follow miracles, just for the sake of the miracle.
BEWARE also the final point of the Antichrist, is to REPLACE God. So, we are in direct war with the antichrist, who is at war with us. He will fight us to the end, because HE INTENDS TO REPLACE OUR WITNESS.
Amen. But the Lord will not accept this lousy counterfeit religion. The Lord first threw him out of heaven, and will now throw him into the LAKE OF FIRE forever.
This second beast is also BABYLON in Revelation Chapter 17. Babylon is a Religious power. Babylon is the Antichrist copy of the true church. Let me repeat. It is not the United States of America.
Babylon is the Vatican, the Roman Catholic Church, and a lot more than Just the Roman Catholic Church. That was just the Babylon of yesterday.
The Babylon of today is a church of MERCHANDISE, and it will always have the MARK OF THE BEAST. Always. The mark of the beast is not in the world. IT IS IN THE CHURCH, and there always has been one. WE believers have to overcome the mark of the beast, which appears in our churches.
I once asked, why are they selling merchandise in the Church book shop? Why are they trading? I soon got into trouble. As you read through Revelation Chapter 17, think – who else makes merchandise of the SOULS OF MEN?
Babylon is a RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION which has taken control of America and the rest of the world. Check out my research on Billy Graham, Norman Vincent Peale, and Daniel Poling for more information.

Did you know that the woman did not have children in the garden of Eden, at the beginning?
Did you know that her children and husband became her salvation after she fell from the garden of Eden? Did you know that? (Eph 5:23)
The woman only became Eve (mother of all living) after she fell (Gen 3:20), and came under subjection to her husband after she met the serpent (Gen 3:16).
The serpent was told:
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Reading 1 Timothy Chapter 2:
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
This teaches us a number of things. Firstly, the woman is subject to her husband, she is not independent. And here she must not teach the man. Secondly, the WOMAN was deceived, so SHE has to overcome the serpent, by bearing children.
So in Revelation Chapter 12 of the Christian Bible, we see the woman overcoming the serpent in this way. She produces offspring that defeats the serpent. PLEASE women, do the same. In Revelation Chapter 12, we do not see the MAN overcoming the serpent, we see the WOMAN overcoming the serpent. You may want to read more on what the Bible says about the woman.
