It has baffled and made tremble,Christians throughout the earth. This lack of the ability to understand the book as a whole is a result of this fear. Salvation in terms of Christianity comes by grace which is a gift of faith. Fear is the antithesis of faith and to understand anything of Christ, fear must be replaced by faith.It was Christ who said understanding comes by faith, and faith by the hearing of theWord(who is Christ). &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspThe book of The Revelation of Jesus The Christ is a vision not only of things to come but also of things that have already come to pass. For this reason Christ said when asked, that the specific time is only known by The Father, but that mankind could see these things if they looked at the world from a distance. In other words mankind must be retrospective as well as introspective, and in this way it could figure out where it was in terms of the time it had left. Written history is how we become retrospective, and in our recent written history it is not so difficult to understand the place in prophecy in which we find ourselves. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspRevelation 12:1</div> <div> And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:2</div> <div> And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:3</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:4</div> <div> And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:5</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:6</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:7</div> <div> And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:8</div> <div> And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:9</div> <div> And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:10</div> <div> And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:11</div> <div> And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:12</div> <div> Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:13</div> <div> And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:14</div> <div> And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:15</div> <div> And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:16</div> <div> And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 12:17</div> <div> And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.</div> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspThis book shows the defeat of the principalities and powers of spiritual wickedness in the Heavenly realm, <I><B>Revelation 12:9....And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.</B></I></div> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspIt also shows how on the earthly plain these powers are to be defeated,&quot<I><B>Revelation 12:11</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death</B></I>.</div> <bR> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbspThe Woman is representative of Justice and Wisdom and Love. From these things does the true Church of The Christ develop. This church however was to be furiously attacked by The Dragon as to extinguish it from the earth. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<I><B> &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspRevelation 12:13</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Revelation 12:14</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the Dragon. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp</B></I>The persecution and lack of religious freedom was instrumental in the establishment of the New world. In 1776 the United States of America was born. The United States while by no means is without sin, was established &nbspupon the principles of justice, wisdom, and love. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspIt is quite clear that in these statements there was a Christian agenda set forth in the establishment of The United States. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<B>The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies</B></div> <div> <B>In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776</B> </div> <div> <B>The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America, </B></div> <div> When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. </div> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspChapter 2 &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspThe Beast &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspThe traditional view of this figure &quotThe Beast&quot is the view of &quotThe Anti Christ&quot. This man is called &quotthe Son of perdition&quot. He is the one who it has been said will stand in the holy place... and yet he has. Daniel was given a vision, the messenger of this vision was Gabriel, and the vision was clearly labled for the Israelites(not the gentiles),<I><B> Daniel 10:14</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] for [many] days. &nbsp</B></I>This statement is pivotal in understanding the Beast of Revelation. The German Third Reich under Adolf Hitler was a revival of The Holy Roman Empire which is the first Reich, Germany under The Kaiser,the Second Reich, and Germany under Hitler ,The Third Reich. &nbspThe Devil is also mentioned in the book of Daniel, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp</div> <bR> <div> Daniel 11:17</div> <div> <B>He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand [on his side], neither be for him.</B></div> <bR> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbspHitler came to power from nowhere. Because of the economic disaster of the Great Depression the German and world economies were so depleted he seized upon nationalistic ideologies and a currency that was being burned in furnaces for fuel, he ultimately rise to power in 1933, from a place no other leader had risen. He never held a meaningful job, was imprisoned, and yet by great words came to power. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspDaniel 11:21</div> <div> <B>And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> &nbsp &nbsp&nbsp&nbspHitler was released from Landsberg prison in December 1924 after serving only six months of his sentence. At that time, the Nazi Party and its associated newspapers were banned by the government and Hitler himself was forbidden from making public speeches. The support for National Socialism was waning throughout Germany, their voting figures in elections fell from almost two million in 1924 to 810,000 by 1928 (this gave them only 12 out of a total of 491 representatives in Parliament). However at the same time, Hitler succeeded in increasing the party membership and developed the organization of the party throughout Germany with the help of Gregor Strasser who was responsible for the organization of the Nazi Party in northern Germany. During this period Hitler also created the infamous SS (Schutzstaffel) which was initially intended to be Hitler's bodyguard under the leadership of Heinrich Himmler.The collapse of the Wall St. stock exchange in 1929 led to a world wide recession which hit Germany especially hard. All loans to Germany from foreign countries dried up, German industrial production slumped and millions were made unemployed. These conditions were beneficial to Hitler and his Nazi campaigning. By July of the following year Chancellor Bruening, without a parliamentary majority in the Reichstag, was unable to pass a new finance bill and was forced to ask President Hindenberg to dissolve the Reichstag and call for new elections for the coming September. Hitler campaigned hard for the Nazi candidates, promising the public a way out of their current hardship. When the results of the election were announced, the Nazi Party had won 6.4 million votes which made them the second largest party in the Reichstag. At this time Hitler also began to win over the support of both the army and the big industrialists, the latter contributing substantially to the finances of the Nazi Party</div> <div> http://history1900s.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stokesey.demon.co.uk%2Fwwii%2Fahitler.html.....(as seen on th internet, Phils world war II pages)</div> <div> The Revelation also captures this sentiment in Chapter13: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspRevelation 13:1</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:2</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:3</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:4</div> <div> 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?</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:1</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:2</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:3</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:4</div> <div> 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?</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:5</div> <div> 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.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:6</div> <div> And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:7</div> <div> And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:8</div> <div> And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:9</div> <div> If any man have an ear, let him hear.</div> <bR> <div> Revelation 13:10</div> <div> He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
