The Biblical concluding truth for the Great Crusade is: God the Father orders the Lord Jesus Christ to act. The Apostle John describes this by stepping Christ Jesus on the Throne to take the Book from God the Father. Now nothing stays in the way to act. The Biblical acing must run in this way:
This final Crusade lasts longer because should run on different places. Like Joshua needed more instruction in his crusade so it is now. Therefore few steps are taken, and the Lord opens four Sealed Writings - Scrolls.
Ezekiel saw the Holy Spirit coming from the North (1:4). Then His human face was on the
South. (1:10) His lion's face was at the right, the East.bib175
The brigade of Judah camped on the east side of the Tabernacle with the symbol of the lion in
front. This symbol is because Jacob said Judah is a lion (Genesis 49:9).bib176
Moses shows that the division of the camp of Judah was to set out first under their standard.
(Numbers 10:14)
The Israelites moved when the cloud of God's glory had lifted from above the Tabernacle of
Testimony. This witnessed to them that the Lord had moved, and so God's army moved in front
of them.
The brigade of Judah moved when someone had lifted their standard, so a lion on it appeared to
everyone in that brigade.
Assumption is, the Lord initiated the movement the Lord broke the seal. The Holy Spirit turned East to face the lion and commanded the angels to march.log150
As the command "come" was for Israelites, Moses ordered people to move, so is for Christians. The Lord ordered them to move to other countries.log151
The Levites carried the Ark of Testimony and thus Missionaries went in the world to preach the Gospel.log152
The rest of the Levites took apart the Tabernacle. Members of churches supported missionaries. They lifted the lion symbol, and brigade of Judah marched.log153
The Holy Spirit gave the command come by the lion's face in the First Scroll of the Heavenly Book. I understand the Gospel entered the world in the lion's power. God the Holy Spirit gave such power for the Good News.bib177
If we want to see the power of Holy Spirit during that period, we should understand that it was
not a big charismatic movement because the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for advanced
Christians. Nevertheless, a few lions of Holy Spirit existed and especially in steppes or prairies,
not in the middle of societies. During the Early Church, they consider the wilderness as lands
outside that world, mostly America, Australia, Russia, and central Europe. History gave proof of
that because the first ones baptized by Holy Spirit appeared on steppes of Russia, and they
migrated to prairies of America.
Baptized by Holy Spirit in America were the Rev. R. B. Swan with four others in Province,
Rhode Island, Jethro Walthall (later the leader of the Assemblies of God), Daniel Awrey, an
evangelist from Ohio, and others.log154
Still the power of Holy Spirit like Lion's one stayed on Dwight Lyman Moody in spreading the Gospel. He was a lay evangelist, who took his revival campaigns to major American and British cities with phenomenal success. With only a modest education, he began preaching and doing revival work. He invited Ira D. Sankey to join him as a singer. In 1873, Moody and Sankey went to Britain on an extended revival tour. They achieved remarkable success there and were equally successful after returning in 1875 to the United States. For almost twenty years, the team of Moody and Sankey moved their revivals from one major urban center to the next, preaching to millions and converting thousands.log155
The first "horse" has brought in our world this what already Jacob foretold.
Jacob said for Judah, "He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he
will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be darker
than wine, his teeth whiter than milk." (Genesis 49:11-12) Jacob spoke about the first horse
(Moses commanded Jacob march first) connected to vine/wine.
Wine is the first and the last at the Christ. Here the wine is connected to the blood. The same as
at the Last Supper of Christ Jesus. Wine, newborn spirit. "His eyes will be darker than wine,"
and this makes a person new inside. "His teeth whiter than milk." Thus the intention of the first
army was to secure the wine would be reachable for many people. Thus, the Gospel could spread
rapidly.bib178
Moses pictured the Gospel by making the Tabernacle. Therefore, the Levites moved as the first
ones to carry the Tabernacle.
If Jacob and Moses said the first brigade should act for the Gospel, the people should not change
it and say Christians will not be on Earth at their entering.
Not all is ideal as is supposed. Life brings many varieties. The Old Testament shows them on the
beginnings of God's nation. Preachers use the Old Testament pictures to illustrate the Gospel in
many varieties.
Nevertheless, whether did not the Lord foresee how the Church will advance? He is her Lord or
her Head and therefore showed her doing. That is why the Lord Christ Jesus commanded John to
write letters to seven positions. "What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven
churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to
Philadelphia and to Laodicea." (Revelation 1:11) Churches must exist during actual lamps
because the Lord Jesus Christ pronounced his Words while walking among seven golden
"lampstands". Each lamp has its church.bib179
Other sayings that run from the Early Church mean the first Lamp - the first Seal was broken already during John's life. Anyway, the logical result is the first letter shows the Church from breaking the First Seal - then reading Scroll - until the second lamp stopped it.log156
Then the Lord commanded the letters to be written to the angels of these churches. "To angel of the church in Ephesus say." (Revelation 2:1) To write to the angel of a church is strange saying and therefore it needs to be unfolded by general understanding that angels support the Church. First concluding is the receiver is supported. The church is not persecuted and so it is different Church than the Early church was.bib180
Second concluding is that the Church in the Crusade knows seven periods, seven writings describe Her.log157
Third concluding is that angels were moving with the Church and so the Heavenly army crusaded with the Gospel.log158
It was good if they pictured the Gospel under the Tabernacle, and Israel. Today the Tabernacle
or Temple does not exist because the Gospel is its reality, is lived. Therefore, we should look for
another reality, live picture of a happening in this time.
The Catholic Church, as is spoken, had its roots in the Early Church. Their popes derive their
office from the apostles. Because that Church became unholy (beasts captured its office during
the Dark Age), they could not be the first to carry the Gospel for the end times. However, that
church could be used for a (live) picture of God's movement in our world.
As the Lord took power and opened the Heavenly Book, the Catholic Church had to be free. The
pope's seat must be free from any beast. Sanity came through the reformation. They looked for a
new face in the world. The Lord could not use them as a leading denomination for the autumn
rain because their traditions were already strong. Christ Jesus did not need to have bound hands.
He needed freedom to bring new things that any tradition does not know. The Lord Jesus Christ
does not need Earth's constitution for His children. God had already established God's
constitution on Earth through Moses, and therefore, could not establish the other because the
first one might be considered imperfect. What is imperfect should be not from God. That first
constitution had to last until life existed on Earth. (Matthew 5:18) Therefore, that will exist also
in the Millennium. Or if the Temple exists in the Millennium, they will practice Moses' Law.
Then the other constitution could not exist, according to the Creator, in the material world.
The Church has the Heavenly constitution, and on Earth exists only in the invisible (spiritual)
world. In such a way their constitution was higher than the first one. (Revelation 21:9-27)
Membership in any denomination or church could not save people. Only being members of
Heaven could, according to the Book of Life. (Revelation 20:15)
Because the prophets often used demonstrations to introduce the meanings to God's messages,
the Lord did, too. Jesus used parables in His ministry and would now.
The Catholic Church made Vatican City their capital city. Vatican City in English means City of
Prophecy.log159
The Council was in Heaven. For that reason, the new council started in Vatican City.log160
They proclaimed the dogma that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was preserved from the effects of
original sin from the moment of her conception. The meaning of the Gospel is that Jesus was
without original sin because He was conceived by Spirit of God and did not inherit Adam's death
spirit (this spirit died when Adam sinned). Jesus inherited a life for flesh from Mary and thus
inherited the soul and the original sin. It depended only from Him whether a person lived by the
spirit (from God) or the soul (from Eve). It depended only from Him whether lived without
original sin or with the original sin. (See the temptation in a desert, Luke 4:1-13.) If Mary were
without original sin, from whom did Jesus receive the original sin to bring before God the
Father? It is written that he took our sins and wore them as dirty clothes. (Zechariah 3:3)If Mary
were without original sin then her father and mother could not be from Adam's descendants. So,
she could not be any human being and neither Jesus Christ was the Son of Man. (Matthew 13:41)
According to my understanding of the Heavenly Throne, it was the Spirit of God the Son who
caused His birth, symbolically described as "woman giving the birth to . . . " in Revelation 12.
The Pope switched "woman" from Revelation 12 with Mary. Pius IX set an earthly woman on
the Heavenly Throne, where the Spirit of God the Son--the Seven Spirits--should be.
Anyway, this picture "woman" (described in Revelation 12) not persecuted in the world
anymore.log161
If a man occupies a position of an original man, then an original man should leave this place to
save His originality. (See David fleeing from his son Absalom, II Samuel 15) This occupying
was impossible, and therefore, Absalom and his helpers were lost. (chapter 18)
As the Third Law of motion (the principle of action and reaction) would apply on Pius IX. His
action (putting the earthly woman on the Heavenly Throne instead Seven Spirits) caused
reaction and he was forced to flee Rome.
He returned by the help of French army. His exile could also stand for the testimony to
Christians, why the Lord could not use the Catholic Church for the Crusade.log162
The Pope tried to take power by forcing the clergy to accept his papal infallibility. The world could not accept that (except sects and cults and Jehovah's Witnesses), and the renamed Kingdom of Italy took Rome for its capital in 1870 and seized the council. Pius became known as the infallible prisoner of the Vatican. But it could picture the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Thronelog163
Leo XIII was the pope from 1878 to 1903. The pontificate of him was especially important for the leadership he gave on social questions and was marked by an openness to scientific progress and concern for reconciling the Catholic Church with the modern world. Historians consider him an intensive worker, who could be the picture to the rider on the white horse and the work of the Heavenly "woman," according to Revelation 12.log164
He was in office when the Second Scroll was opened what could picture (his) continual activities of the white horse.log165
The new era for the Church started immediately as the First Scroll was opened. The Lord's servants worked hard as lions, continued steadfastly. The Lord knows that the first evangelists faced great difficulty and much hard work in bringing the Gospel onto the world scene. Their duty is to begin the autumn rain, as Joel (2:23) predicted: "Be glad, O people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before." Their enemies masquerade as angels of light, servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). They want to be the first Apostles at the start of the autumn rain, but are, in fact, anti-Apostles.
The first self-declared anti-Apostle was Charles Take Russell, who founded the sect calling itself the Jehovah's Witnesses. Russell described himself as 'the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time' (Matthew 24:45). This false Apostle taught a new method of salvation (that knowing God's name alone is salvation), and rejected salvation through a new birth in spirit. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in existence of the spirit in humans; to them, human spirituality is no different from that of animals.bib181
The Lord praises Christians in this stage that because they hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, just as He does. Historically, the Nicolaitans were accused of sexual immorality. Another historical sect, the original Mormon Church of the USA, practiced sexual immorality. Their leader, Joseph Smith, instituted a practice of plural marriage (polygamy) in his church; he himself was alleged to have as many as fifty wives. His successor, Brigham Young, had children by sixteen women, and was married to many others. The primary goal of the Mormons was the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth in the Utah Territory, though federal authorities challenged their practices. This agrees with the words of the Lord: "But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." The Mormons still exist today because they have, thankfully, rejected polygamy.bib182
From the words "You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary," readers of the first letter might gather that Christians during the shining of the First Lamp had been successful. Their crusade for the Gospel to be preached to all nations did not stop. The reward for all faithful Christians is the right to share the paradise of God. "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." Here is the biblical testimony that this opened Seal (shining--a lamp) does yet not know the Rapture and the First Resurrection because passed away go to interim between the Earth and Heaven. The Eden is not the Heaven where is God's Throne. The Eden is God's territory but connected to the Earth, thus an interimbib183
Judah's donkey tethers to a vine - Genesis 49:11, but where is this land? The answer is, where the
army moved.
The first army, according to Moses, is brigade Judah. Israel does not divided territories (Canaan)
where Judah, Benjamin, etc. should live today and therefore, we need to look for their
characteristics elsewhere.
We can see Jacob's tribes also among other nations because Jews called Spartans were their
brothers. The historical record (I Maccabees 12:6-23) told us the high priest Jonathan wrote the
Spartans confirming they were indeed our brothers. Then he attached a letter the Spartans had
sent that stated, "It has been discovered in records regarding the Spartans and Jews that they are
brothers and of the race of Abraham."
If the ancient Spartans were biological descendants of Abraham, maybe they were of Isaac and
Jacob, and perhaps other nations also. Today records of many nations do not go back so far to
identify their ancestors. Meanwhile, they would mix that descendants of Jacob, or at least of
Abraham, could be everywhere.
I think we have ten lost tribes of the Kingdom of Israel. The last records spoke that Assyria took
them captive. It could happen when Babylonians defeated Assyria, the south kingdom beat the
north kingdom, captives in Assyria were free for a moment till Babyloniam came from south. To
be free is awaited from every Israelite and that is why they needed to move to hills or on another
side of mountains, particularly on the steppes of Russia. History speaks that after a millennium,
many nations moved from there mostly to the West. So in the direction from which Israelites
were taken. Yet they did not come to Palestine but found themselves to be in the central Europe.
Some ones (having dominate roots like Ephraim or moving roots Dan) still migrated to the West.
Many of Jacob's children had fled from Palestine into other countries, especially to escape from Assyrians but also from other nations warring against them. Some mixed early with other nations. They accepted their gods and married with other nations. For instance, king Ahab married Jezebel, the daughter of Erhbaal, king of the Sidonians. Then the tribes Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh quickly lost their record with Jacob.
Hence many nations could have ancient Hebrew ancestries and have their emblems from Jacob.
Readers of the Bible should consider the lion as the standard of Judah. That was because Jacob
told to Judah, "You are a lion's cub, O Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion
he crouches and lies down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse him?" (Genesis 49:9) Here prey
could be steppes of Russia. Yet it is America.
Governments did not persecute the Gospel in United States. See the second dwelling of
"woman" in the wilderness. That was why the Gospel would return to Europe as Jacob said,
"Return from the prey."bib184
The Brigade of Judah consisted of tribes from Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon. The tribe Judah had
their territory between two seas, the Great Sea and the Salt Sea. I understand that freedom for all
Christians, so for the Gospel, had been won in countries between the seas. They were Great
Britain and their colonies in the world (Canada, Australia, etc.) and European countries on the
West and North coast.
The United States had emerged like a lion' cub. Their history was too short to compare with
other countries.log166
A lion as a nation's symbol existed in many countries. We found it mostly in English-speaking
countries. Sometimes the lion had a sword. A sword meant the power for the Word.
Then the lion's language (English) is the ruling language to spread God's Word, the Bibles,
etc.log167
The territory of the tribe Issachar did not touch any sea. Judah was not their neighbor but tribes
Manasseh and Naphtali that were on the third and fourth scene. The world movement in the
Third and Fourth Seal (dark power and power of death) touched them.
They had the most fertile land in Israel, as, for instance, in the Ukraine.
According to Jacob's blessing, "Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down between two
saddlebags. When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will
bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor." (Genesis 49:14-15)
Two saddlebags could be the Ural and the Carpathian Mountains. Or between industrial Russia
and industrial Europe.
Issachar's emblem was the laden ass. We might see these as the Slav people and especially the
Russians. That nation did not know freedom all of their history. They were under the power of
the czars, then communists, and still today, when they are free, most feel the need to return to
bondage. It was as Jacob said to his son Issachar that he would need to bend his shoulder to the
burden and submit to forced labor. Jacob's words could mean Issachar was not active for
resettlement when nations moved. That is why they did not migrate to central and west Europe
as others.log168
The religious battlefield is there. The persecution rose against newborn people, the Russian Christians. Because they already lived in victorious times of the white power, they had to emigrate to democratic states. They were mostly spiritual children of Christians from Europe known under the name, Mennonites. Their next steps were toward the mountains, then the sea, and finally to Armenia and overseas. The first migration of about 18,000 Mennonites from Russia to the western states and provinces of the United States and Canada took place from 1870 to1880. Many other Christian groups traveled there, fleeing before the persecution from the Russian czars and the Turkish army.log169
Moses, the greatest teacher should have shown also the relation of tribes to the Law. He did it in Deuteronomy 27-28. In relation to Christianity, the Law is new life of new born Christians. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts" (Jeremiah 31:33). Then we should derive relation people to this new covenant from Deuteronomy 27-28. If they pronounce curses then they curse people who are newborn, hate them. This means also not many of them are newborn Christians. And if they pronounce blessing then they like newborn ones, like to be newborn. Newborn people can be also baptized by Holy Spirit and then the same relation is to the baptism by Holy Spirit.
Moses ordered Judah and Issachar to bless the people. (Deuteronomy 27:12-14) Thus Christians (newborn and baptized by Holy Spirit) existed there and were blessing for others.bib185
The territory of the tribe Zebulon did not touch any sea. Its main neighbors were from the third
(Manasseh) and fourth (Asher and Naphtali) brigade. Likewise, the movement of the Third and
Fourth Scroll touched them as it did Issachar.
Jacob said about Zebulon, "Zebulon will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships;
his border will extend toward Sidon." (Genesis 49:13)
Here is a disagreement. They did not settle at any seashore, but were connected spiritually to a
sea. I understand that the battlefield was also in the colonial movement and events of Third and
Fourth Scroll touched them.log170
To replace its losses in North America (the American Revolution ended British rule in the
United States), Britain soon acquired Australia and New Zealand, which, with Canada, became
Britain's chief colonies of settlement. In the course of the nineteenth century, these colonies
became self-governing, and in the twentieth century they were recognized as dominions
(autonomous units with status equal to Britain) within the Commonwealth of Nations.
The Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century greatly increased the military and
technological power of the European countries, enabling them to extend their rule over areas
with large, indigenous populations. They sent troops along with commercial agents, officials,
and Christian missionaries and turned those areas into markets for industrial products and
suppliers of its raw materials.
They parceled out the continent of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, among the European
powers after the Conference of Berlin in 1885.
Colonialism was not a very light movement for the natives although some became prosperous
through trading. Nevertheless, the movement against slavery that started in the United States in
preparation for the white power, made people freer for the Gospel. They did not catch and sell
people, but instead, missionaries preached the Gospel.
Moses put the Zebulon tribe among the tribes pronouncing curses of the Law. We may derive that Christians did not have the freedom in the colonies as their brothers in democratic countries. Or, they are not new born Christians.log171
This period was peaceful because the Lord initiated its events, and indeed, the enemy was not prepared for anti-reaction. It is similar as "Jesus" (understand as Joshua) led the people to the Promised Land easily.bib186
They did not have big problems with anti-reactions, although the enemies could recruit, use the Jordan River, and wait them on its bank. They did not think the invasion would happen when the Jordan overflowed. (Joshua 3:15) Likewise, many in Europe thought that the Americanism (democracy and free churches) could not have come to Europe. They believed the Atlantic stays them in the way. But industrialization brings airplanes and two wings of a great eagle replaced misionaries.log172
When more angels come to the earth to support the Light then more light - white were coming in our society. Mostly men relating to God's nation had light ideas. This has brought industrialization.log173
Many teachers do not see this biblical testimony of nearness of God because they still await only the coming of the white horse. Therefore, they are pharisees and for them are words: "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now you claim you can see you understand Revelation, your guilt remains. (John 9:41)
Ezekiel saw the Holy Spirit coming from the North. (1:4) His human face was in front, so to the South. (1:10)
The Brigade of Reuben camped on South of the Sanctuary under the symbol Man. Moses commanded the Brigade of Reuben to move to the second under their standard. (Numbers 10:18) That was the picture for the Heavenly forces for the Second Scroll.bib187
The next reinforcement moved as the Holy Spirit turned to them by the face of man and
commanded them "Come!"
The Heavenly army had come with instructions how to defeat enemy being on the red horse
under a red flag. Holy Spirit gives command "come" by the face Man in the Second Scroll of the
Heavenly Book.bib188
If Holy Spirit said "Come!" by the face of Man, then we have to see also His New Movement
coming in humans' characteristics and in "human" nature.
Our main difference from other creatures is our language. Then, God's new blessing for this Seal
is in the mass pouring out of the Holy Spirit with glossolalia.
History is giving such a proof. The year 1906 and on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California, the
Spirit came and people heard "tongues."
The revival developed from here and sent Pentecostal experiences around the world.
The next mass movement was in the year 1914. They called the meeting at the Grand Opera
House, Hot Springs, Arkansas and Holy Spirit acted. The Gospel became more powerful by
using glossolalia.log174
According to City of Prophecy the goal of Christians is to get more new born for Christ Jesus. The pope Leo XIII consecrated the entire Roman Catholic Church to the Sacred Heart (of Mary) in 1890. He was still in office when the Second Scroll was opened what could picture continual activities of the Gospel pictured now as the Sacred Heart. (Ezekiel 36:26).log175
Otherwise, two popes pictured Christianity in the second period. One was for the period of peace
and the second for war times.
Pius X (from 1903 to 1914) was interested in the needs of people (democracy and
industrialization) and encouraged frequent receptions of communion (the process of being newly
born for God).log176
Benedict XV was the Pope from 1914 to 1922. It was war times. Benedict won the goodwill by
his impartiality, his peace proposals, and his charitable donations. The white power used the
First World War for spreading democracy (more countries free especially in the central
Europe).log177
The apostle John's second letter to the church in Smyrna should be for the Church in the second
candle or the Second Scroll of the Heavenly Book. (Revelation 2:8-11)
The Lord introduced Himself as He "who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life
again." The Lord introduced Himself not only as the Lord of Creation (the First and the Last)
but as man. He introduced Himself likewise as the Holy Spirit (by man's face).bib189
The Gospel used mostly humans' symptoms such as are:
Mass movement--many converted, for instance R. A. Torrey and C.M.Alexander with 130,000
converts from 1902--1908. Billy Sunday and H. Rodeheaver with one million converts in 1910,
Evan Roberts preached with 100,000 converts in Wales, 1904.
Massive revival in Korea: growth of churches in Manchuria and China by 1907.
Mass movement in all churches in Kenya in 1916.
Forty-five percent of the Native Americans (Indians) joined churches by 1914.
Churches founded hospitals and shelters for the poor, the orphans, and others in need.
The Salvation Army swelled to an army of thousands. They engaged in social services. The army
made a goal of approaching sociological problems with the Gospel.
Missionaries went into the world to preach the Good News with social programs. Missionary
bases for the Gospel in every nation and language arose from the North American continent. For
instance, the ecumenical Missionary Conference in New York City in 1900 with 200,000
attendees.bib190
The representatives of an anti-movement against the Woman--the Gospel are "those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." Typically Jews are people who have a strong belief in the written word (of God's Law). Therefore, "Jews" should be people who switch from a spirit to letters in the New Testament (scribes). Our society calls such a movement fundamentalist. A mass movement took place by setting Bible study courses at Bible colleges. Scofield's references of the Bible could date the cardinal work of such thoughts by 1909. Their conservative view at the new comings of the Gospel was hidden under codes of the New Testament. (Everything that does not agree with written codes of the New Testament was evil). Perhaps we may also add denomination fundamentalism. Most of the denominations did not continue with God's new works because the Law (early knowledge of the Lord's doings) of their fathers did not allow it. (See for the instance the Mennonites.)bib191
The Lord testifies His will for those who pass away during the Second Scroll that they "will not be hurt at all by the second death." This is the second testimony that Resurrection does not come yet. The second death is mentioned for those who wait for the second Resurrection in order to come on the Last Judgment. (Revelation 20:11-15) It means that the Lord speaks that the first Resurrection awaits them and not the second one. The resurrection for the Wedding and not the resurrection for judgment is their destiny.bib192
Second Rider took a large sword. A sword mens a word (Ephesians 6:17) This sword ought to be already there. This is the Word of the Good News. That is why said "to him was given a large sword". Did God give him this sword? No. However, his servants used the power of this Word (sword) to gain more people and this initiated evil powers to used it also. For Instance, Lenin's grandmother was Christian and so he could hear the Word in his childhood.log178
Marx and Engels were the fathers of the red ideology. Some men speak Marx and Jesus teach the same. If they would teach the same in life style still, it is not the same. Communists are insulting the Lord as Korah marching with the Brigade of Reuben. (Numbers 16)bib193
The red power really had its home in Asia. The fortress of the red dragon would be in China (the
emblem, a red flag, the Great Wall of China, a dragon). We can point to a spiritual base in
forests of countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos. Cambodian communists, known as the
Khmer Rouge, controlled the country and instituted policies that led to the deaths of at least one
million people. As shown, defeating red power in the world meant not to allow them to occupy
democratic states and so they pushed back to their bastions.
Satan tried to take masses by this sword in democratic and industrial countries that God blessed.
This pulled God's army to act and to stop Satan's plans. Therefore, that was a rider for the
Second Seal. God had to act to defend His people and democracy and not harm the Earth while
teachers of the end times spoke.log179
White power in the world defeated Satan's power by putting the living standard on a higher level.
Therefore, the red dragon turned to countries less educated in Christianity such as Russia. Russia
and Asia were considered. Lenin had put new ideas into dragon's hands. He made communist
teaching a revolutionary doctrine. So he gave a sword, a power to this teaching. Or a red dragon
also added teaching to his sword.
They founded the Union Soviet Republic as the new system of proletarian dictatorship, and the
next countries had to ally. There was no meaning to nationality.
A red horse and Satan had expected to rule the world. Red flags for every communist group
spoke that their power-horse was red. Nevertheless, the Russian Soviet Union also had the
emblem of the sickle and the hammer on their red flag. A sickle is a sign for taking a harvest
(Revelation 14:14) and a hammer to crush everyone (Zechariah 1:21).I understand the purpose of
communists was to break every world power and then bring (harvest) the people under the
dragon's power. This was their war strategy for the first battle, but the white horse did not allow
it.bib194
The communists won in not democratic Russia. The countrymen had overturned absolutism and
attempted to establish a democracy. Later Lenin successfully brought the Bolsheviks to power
through the Military Revolutionary Committees; and the first Bolshevik government was formed
during the first week of November, 1917.
Lenin established a secret police (the Cheka) and totally reconstituted the desperate Russian
economy along the Marxist principles. The civil war broke out, and he was forced to put a Red
army in the field against a white army.
Was this the testimony of the white horse from the First Scroll continuing and now fought with
the red horse?log180
Habakkuk spoke that the first "woe" was coming because of exploitation. (2:6-8) "Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?"bib195
This was a millrace for socialism. They claimed to stand above all for the values of equality, social justice, etc. "Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim." Methods of transformation were advocated by violent revolutions.bib196
They had generally sought to realize these values by the abolition of the private-enterprise economy and its replacement by "public ownership," a system of social or state control over production and distribution. Communists achieved these in some countries. Habakkuk spoke: "Because you have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them." (2:8) Communists nationalized factories, banks, fields, houses, animals, etc. Whoever did not forfeit his property was killed or deported.bib197
I understand from Joshua's second command to fight Jericho. They did not destroy the red power by the first or second march (Joshua 6:3-5), so a red dragon would be destroyed in the Seventh Seal and during the sounding of the seventh trumpet.bib198
Brigade of Reuben marched as the second with Kohathites (Numbers 10:21). Kohath was the second son of Levi. The duty of Kohath was to care and carry the holy things from the Sanctuary. (Numbers 4:4-20) This could be the picture of the Gospel in a more sacred form. We have already seen more Holy Spirit poured on people in the Second Scroll and more gifted people. Therefore, the rider from the First Scroll (the Gospel) would be more enlightened.bib199
Tribes Reuben, Simeon, and Gad made up the brigade Reuben. Their emblem was man because Jacob told them, "Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power." (Genesis 49:3) Reuben and Simeon were the first sons of Jacob, but they became dishonored in Israel. Their activities in the world of Christianity did not get them higher among other nations.bib200
Reuben settled before the Jordan River. Although they had fought in the Promised Land, they returned on another bank of the Jordan River and stood beside the Salt Sea. We may consider them as a nation not supporting the newborn people although they were first. (They crossed Jordan first but returned then as the Catholic Church.) They had problems with other nations because they were behind the Jordan. Many of them fled from enemies to the North. It is possible they migrated with Gad on Balkan or fled from Assyria in that direction.log181
As the firstborn, Reuben arose against his father when he slept with Bilhah. (Genesis 35:22) In the end times, Satan used unbelievers in Christianity to become the opposition of the Gospel. So, they were as the firstborn for the end times but were unsuccessful because Jacob said, "The first place will not be yours; for you went up to your father's bed, even his bride-bed, and made it unclean." (Genesis 49:4) The popes made themselves the fathers of a universal church and as heavenly lords in flesh, and this could be considered their stepping on God's Throne.log182
Reuben tried to save Joseph (Genesis 37:21, 29) and gave the guarantee for Benjamin by his two sons. (Genesis 42:37). However, Judah really did it (in The Second World War). Joseph was the picture for Christ Jesus and Christianity in later days. We saw that at the break of the Great War. Austria, where a holy Roman emperor had his throne, hoped to increase its strength and the strength of Christianity in the Balkans at the expense of the disintegrating Ottoman Empire. Germany and Italy played big early roles in the Church of Rome. They had holy Roman emperors and popes. So, as sons of the Catholic Church, they helped holy Roman emperor and formed the Triple Alliance. Austria's effort was in vain because it lost its power in Europe, and many countries became free. Slavic nations formed republics under a democracy. The once-great Habsburg's empire had disintegrated in October and November, 1918. Austria recognized the independence of Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Hungary.log183
Moses placed Reuben among the nations pronouncing curses of the Law. We may understand from it that the newborn people were not liked in the countries faithful to the Catholic Church or the Habsburgs. In Austria, charismatic churches or evangelical are rare.bib201
The tribe Simeon settled inside the tribe Judah in the hill countries. They count them among the
weak tribes. Jacob said, "Simeon and Levi are brothers--their swords are weapons of
violence. Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed
men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased. Cursed be their anger, so fierce,
and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel." (Genesis 49:5-7)
Jacob said Simeon and Levi's sword was a weapon of violence. That was because they fought
against Shechemites. This was partly right because Shechemite defiled their sister Dinah. The
brothers killed every male to avenge her.
Joseph left Simeon in the prison. (Genesis 42:24) It means Joseph knew he was the man who had
led the opposition against him and wanted to kill him. Simeon was the violent but not righteous
man. Simeon just wanted to realize his fury.
The people inside the Balkan, initialing the Great War. The Balkan nations were violent and
revengefully. Simeon inside Israel could mean the main battlefield was inside the world of
Christianity.log184
Moses placed them among tribes that spoke blessings of the Law, which meant the Serbians did not persecute newborns and baptized by the Holy Spirit.log185
Gad Tribe did not cross the Jordan River. Gad was not the son of Jacob's regular wife. His
mother was Leah's maidservant, Zilpah. They were attached to regular sons and thus to the first
nations in Europe.
Jacob spoke about Gad, "Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders, but he will attack them
at their heels." (Genesis 49:19) I derive from those words that raiders declined their tribe.
Moses put Gad among the nations that had to pronounce curses. This could mean, according to
purpose of the Heavenly Book (newborn and baptized by the Holy Spirit), Christians were hated
by these people.
I would place them in Southeastern Europe, Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova where raiders
were (Turkish, Arabs, Tatars, Mongols, and Cossacks) or to Russia (the battlefield of the First
World War). They also defeated Napoleon and Hitler. The conclusion is the white horse won,
pushed the red horse to its homeland. Nevertheless, it is still not its end, because this horse is the
dragon.
Moses ordered the camp division of Ephraim to set out third under their standard.bib203
It meant that as the Lord Jesus Christ had opened the Third Scroll, the Holy Spirit commanded the angels that looked at the face of the Bull or Angel. He commanded these strong angels come because something had happened in the world of Christianity. Strong enemies want to prevail the Gospel.log186
If the Holy Spirit was turning us to face the Bull or Angel and spoke, He will act in the power of
bulls or angels. Therefore, the Holy Spirit in angelic power would support the Gospel.
A bull is an animal with a great strength. Angels are beings also of great strength. They pushed
down the walls of Jericho as would many bulls do. (Joshua 6) When the Holy Spirit spoke by the
face of the man, Christians spoke in new languages. If angelic characteristics are now, then the
mighty supernatural (angelic) deeds should enter the Church. There were, for instance, evil
spirits cast out, healings or miracles for people, what was not within the power of people. The
world knows that after glossolalia, miracles entered the Pentecostal churches.bib204
The representative of God's power by miracles was Smith Wigglesworth from England.log187
No one can picture the third stage of the Gospel by Moses's picturing because the third brigade did not carry anything from the Tabernacle. They were already marching. Therefore, it is needed to look at today's picture in the Church of Rome. The new Pope Pius XI came into the office for the next period. He is only the pope for this period. It is the sign that there was just peace period and not wars' time in the world of Christianity.log188
The Lateran Treaty, signed on Feb. 11, 1929, settled the vexatious question of the relationship between the Holy See and Italy. The papacy accepted the loss of the papal states, while Italy recognized Vatican City as an independent state. That was the picture that governments in the world of Christianity will not interfere in religious life and vice versa. (see Austria, and the Holy Roman Emperor, Habsburg in the First World War). They resolved the Roman Question with a financial settlement. It speaks that this part of the Heavenly Book solved the problem of finance in the world of Christianity.log189
Pius XI issued Quadragesima Anno (1931), which elaborated the Catholic Church's position on social and economic reform; it called for justice and charity in all endeavors and stressed Christian social action. That could lead to the acknowledgment that Christians should be free from enslaving material things and to use them for those who are in needs. They need to prepare themselves for the Heavenly city, the New Jerusalem. (Revelation 21) Pius XI appointed native bishops to many Asian hierarchies and founded colleges at Rome for the Eastern Rites. This could picture colonialism and "white" movement there.log190
The Lord introduced Himself as He "who has the sharp, double-edged sword" for the Church in the Third Scroll. The Bible describes cherubim with swords flashing back and forth to guard the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24) Lord introduces Himself likewise like God the Holy Spirit, the Mighty. (Revelation 2:12-17)bib205
This crusading is in times of unrighteous balance in the world (the big recession). Christians needed strong individuals (like angels) to face the big recession. Weak ones fell in depression and some committed suicide. Many stood firmly because they had used a live doubled-edged sword (Hebrew 4:12) not to be caught in a risk before big recession.bib206
From historical view, the main task of Christians in Europe was to keep them clean from
national socialism, from a mass cult in the nations. This can be called the teaching of Balaam.
Balaam was one of God's prophet. (See His blessing to Israel--Numbers 22-24). He gave advice
to Moab, by which way Israel could lose God's guard. Deeds of nationalism entered the
churches, and they could not go with God.
Therefore, God spoke, "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there
who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by
eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality." (Revelation 2:14)bib207
We are in the times of the angel sign. Teachers have to look for such sects which have both signs
(sexual immorality and super-position of man on earth). Practicing of polygamy could not
survive in the modern age, and therefore, Mormons formed new groups. They named their
organization the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here we find another
transforming view of marriage. They teach beside a marriage on earth, they have the right to
remarry couples for Heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ said clearly about marriage after death,
"people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in
Heaven." (Matthew 22:30)
One or more leaders in almost every Mormon group receive revelations. They claim the
revelation was mostly received from John the Baptist, then from other angels or a god the father
who understood a godly man. In some revelations, they call on the whole church to rebaptize
(influence of remarriages). The Mormon movement enjoyed great popularity during period
between the two World Wars.
The symbol Bull was used for priests. So we may also see the strong emphases on the
priesthood. They divide men into two groups: the priesthood of Aaron and the priesthood of
Melchizedek.log191
New cults started to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality. At sunrise in 1936, Sun Myung Moon experienced a mystical encounter with Jesus. In this vision, the Korean teenager was challenged to take up Jesus' unfinished work and establish the Kingdom of God on earth. Sun Myung Moon and his wife were the true" Adam and Eve who came to establish God's lineage lost by the first Adam and Eve. Jesus failed to do this because he was killed before he could be married, according to their Unification teachings. Certainly, this was impossible to reproduce so many children that a new kingdom could be established during Moon's life. Therefore, he used a practice from the table of the Lord. They were blessed" in marriage by Sun Myung Moon by the juice, which contained Moon's literal, physical blood as they believe. Something similar was found in eating food sacrificed to idols. The consumption of food by two parties meant they were equal. Therefore, we cannot be at the table of the Lord and an idol's table.log192
The Lord's words "do not damage the oil and the wine" could be seen in the establishment of the Christian Businessmen's Committee International in 1930 in Burundi, Africa. Demos Shakarian was a newborn Christian and baptized by the Holy Spirit and a major businessman. God blessed this organization because it was founded under God. Other successful Christian businessmen joined him.log193
"To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." This still testifies that the people are not resurrected. The Lord promises them to be in the Wedding of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:6-9) They are identified personally to sit at the table of the Lord. After the Rapture and the First Resurrection, they will stand in Heaven some time and then entering the Land (the Millennium). Therefore, they will belong to the King of Kings and thus the new name derived from Him must get everyone participating in His ruling. In Heaven, first God's food awaits them at "the wedding supper of the Lamb" like Israel ate manna before entering the Promised Land. They are not on the Wedding supper of the Lamb yet and therefore the First Resurrection has not yet come.bib208
Anyway, the Gospel is still victorious as was Joshua. But had problems after the second command to fight Jericho. The problem was "they have stolen, they have violated, they lied, they have put them with their own possession. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies" (Joshua 7:11-12). This third command to continue in victorious movement against weak Ai shows that they sheltered the enemy in their own camp. Stolen (taken) things were this enemy. They had to fight first with the sin: Achan's sin (Joshua 7).bib209
Habakkuk pronounced the second woe also in this way: "Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin" (Habakkuk 2:9-11). An example of this was the borrowing of money to make more money, not for living needs.bib210
Gambling is another example. A player uses his money, in this way, to get money from others. In other words, "You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life." Stealing is when a man takes goods that belong to others.bib211
The next verse foretold the Great Depression of the 1930s. "The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it." Habakkuk could not know about a stock market; he lived more than five hundred years before Jesus Christ. Therefore, "stones of the wall will cry" could refer to Wall Street in New York City and its New York Stock Exchange Building, or simply stock markets displayed on boards (walls).bib212
The Bible describes a rider holding a pair of scales in his hand. Prices for goods were, 'A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages.'" Barley cost three times less than wheat; I think this is not the right price.bib213
What was called a black market boomed in "the Great Recession" around 1933. Then, with the arrival of the Depression, many people became poor. Jews were among the richest people living during this time, and therefore, others envied them. Obtaining money on the black market (stock markets) was very difficult then, indeed almost impossible; however, people knew that it was possible to take money from Jews. So, a new anti-Semitism arose as well. Certainly, the Lord had to do something, and the presence of the black market in the world of Christianity attracted Heavenly forces to act. People resolved this by giving up a gold standard for their money, and by other new rules.log194
Christians baptized by the Holy Spirit (oil) and newborns (wine) were not persecuted in democratic countries where the recession took place because God said, "Do not damage the oil and the wine."bib214
The emblem of the brigade Ephraim is Bull because Moses said to Ephraim and Manasseh, "He is like firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations." (Deuteronomy 33:17)bib215
Sons of the second wife of Jacob made the third brigade on earth. They were Benjamin and Joseph. They were born later. Jacob made two tribes from his son Joseph: Ephraim and Manasseh. Jacob loved them more than the sons from other women. It meant that they would bear something else as was the first ones (Leah was the regular first wife).log195
Ephraim, one of Joseph's son born in Egypt, became the powerful tribe, the rival of Judah. When the Kingdom of Israel split after Solomon, Ephraim became the ruling tribe of the ten tribes that formed the new Kingdom of Israel. Ephraim born in Egypt fit for Christians born anywhere in the world. I understand that two peoples of God could be in the world: Christians and Israelis from the Third Scroll. Or Heavenly forces cared not only for Christianity but also for Israel.bib216
The enemy opened two battlefields. One to harm the world of Christianity and the second to destroy the Jews at the beginning.log196
Jacob spoke about Ephraim and Manasseh, "Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a
spring, whose branches climb over a wall. With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot
at him with hostility. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because
of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with
blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast
and womb. Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of
the prince among his brothers." (Genesis 49:22-26)
Joshua was from Ephraim. He was the picture of the crucified Joshua: Jesus Christ. As Joshua
became a youth, when Moses formatted Israel into God's nation, Jesus Christ was also as a youth
who would take power at His First Coming. Afterwards, Joshua became the ruler of God's
nation, leading them into the promised land and establishing their home. The Lord Jesus Christ
became the leader of all belonging to God to bring them into the Promised Land of God's
Kingdom. (Hebrews 4)log197
Anyway, this text is the ode. For whom is it? I see here the ode for the white horse and the rider fighting with bow in advanced years. And so, this is the ode for the continuing Crusade.bib217
Although they "with bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility, his bow remained steady". Here is identify white horse to be on God's side and using the bow. This is the next proof that a bow belong for God's ones and more related to the Gospel (vine).bib218
The war is now led by bows as I identify bobbers shaped like bows and arrows to be them. (Perhaps in the words "branches climb over a wall" could be seen guided missiles) The white horse has his arms strong because are attached to "the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty". Here is proof that the horse or the power must exist in last days which belongs (relates) to God. Which country is the strongest one in military?bib219
The country used for God's purpose must have "blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb. Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills". Therefore if you want to know who represent a white horse on the earth then look for the richest country in the world.bib220
This ruling power should be the superpower because should be "the prince among his brothers.".
Which country is the superpower now?bib221
To identify Joseph just in the world Christianity, (horses ride in the world of Christianity) you
need consider Ephraim and Manasseh. Ephraim younger get more blessing than older Manasseh.
That could lead to the picture for USA. Then Great Britain for Manasseh.
In allegory for Israel, Great Britain started, established the land of Palestine as homeland for the
Jews. Jews lived there under Britain.log198
Manasseh, although older, got a blessing when younger (Genesis 48). That could lead to the picture for Israel. They were older than Christianity but were only coming on a world scene. The world of Christianity was more powerful than Israel. Then, the United States, as the ruling Christian world power, had to help Israel (older God's nation) to survive. So in this comparison between USA and Israel, Ephraim is USA. Anyway, today on the battlefield, USA and Great Britain are on the side of the White Horse.log199
The mother of Benjamin and Joseph was Rachel, the younger sister of Leah. We may think Rachel was the picture for the later Church, today's Church when also Jews are on the scene.log200
Rachel died in Bethlehem, giving birth to Benjamin. (Genesis 35:19) That pointed first in the direction of the Christ (born in Bethlehem). For the world, it said that as the Church in the later rain ends in the material world, the Lord Jesus Christ would come in it. Or, as the Christianity is in its conclusion the second people of God (Israel) is to be born for end times. But it could also shows when Benjamin will come on light, to be finnaly ruling, the Church will end.log201
Jacob said, "Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the
evening he divides the plunder." (Genesis 49:27)
To know which nation is on the world scene is needed to look for one that became rich quickly
to share with others. In Europe, I consider the Germans. In the morning he devours prey can fit
to their powers after the fall of the Romans. They were without a state constitution for a long
period, established their kingdom by 1870, and emerged quickly among the industrial countries.
Germany was the main fighting power in the First World War. Although they lost the wars, they
recovered quickly, and today Germany is one of the richest European countries. They shared
their richness with their brothers, (East Germany) possessing little after the fall of the Berlin
Wall.log202
The tribe Benjamin was well known for causing the first civil war in Israel. (Judges 19-20)
Then Germany are as the nation that caused the big war in the world of Christianity (the Second
World War but were also in the First World War).log203
Men from the tribe Benjamin were skilled fighters. Later, Saul from this tribe became the first King of Israel. However, the Davidic Dynasty became the royal dynasty in Israel until the end of the Earth. But "the war between the house of Saul and the house of Davidlasted a long time" (2.Samuel 3:1). Many German kings became holy Roman emperors mostly during the Dark Ages and now Germans are not satisfied with their place in the world.log204
The next world movement started when Hitler stirred Germans' hearts to become the ruling
world nation. They hated Jews and looked for a way to annihilate them.
Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin. That could be a picture for the birth of the new state of
Israel. Benjamin caused Rachel pain, and Germany caused pain to the Heavenly Spirit of God
the Son to bring God's new nation into the world. We know that Jews' pain, the holocaust,
caused the establishment and recognition of their state.log205
Rachel was not faithful to the God of Jacob because she stole gods of his father, of that land. (Genesis 31:19) Father's gods represented Turkish gods and for them offered, killed the Armenians. That was a picture for the world of Christianity, where many people accepted the thoughts of eliminating the Jews.log206
Conclusion is the Heavenly Will, as introduced by the opening the Heavenly Book, remains in effect. Satan still has not won, and Israel has emerged onto the world scene. Therefore he cannot afford to lead more human wars in the world of Christianity and so the next war should be dreadful war.
The Holy Spirit gave the fourth command come by the face of the eagle in the Fourth Scroll of the Heavenly Book. His eagle's face was at the back on the side from which the Holy Spirit came, the North. (Ezekiel 1:4) The brigade of Dan camped on the north side of the Sanctuary under their symbol.bib222
Moses shows the division of the camp of Dan was to set out as the fourth under its standard. Tribe Dan, Asher, and Naphtali made up the brigade.bib223
From the eagle symbol, the Gospel would spread with the power or character of an eagle; the Holy Spirit gave that power to the Gospel. Many consider the eagle the king of the air, and so with the eagle's power the Gospel may spread through the use of air. Radio uses air to transmit sound waves everywhere on our planet. Television transmits pictures of objects through the airwaves. Some people consider radio and TV broadcasting as a gift from God. In any case, God has given the Gospel to men so that they should use all their abilities to spread it through the whole world. Today, we have the ability to broadcast.log207
Except that human transmission of the Gospel is not enough; God needs to add His power to the transmission. Therefore, the additional power -- the face of the Holy Spirit -- must exist in our world. This power would be the victorious power in the air; I call this the power of Heavenly Eagle. It is clear, then, why the face of the Holy Spirit was also an eagle's face.bib224
It is unacceptable in our modern age to believe that the power of the Fourth Scroll should come after the Church is raptured. A teacher must be able to explain the location of the additional Holy Spirit's power -- the Eagle's face -- in the Bible. If the face of an eagle was to enter our world after the Rapture, then that would prove that the Rapture had come before people had the ability to use broadcasting power. To comply with this view of the Scriptures, some teachers claim the Rapture occurred before it was possible to broadcast the Gospel. Now, where and when did the ancient world use TV and radio? They did not; that form of communication did not exist in the ancient world, and therefore, the Lord had to predict it in Revelation. Otherwise, the broadcasting power for the Gospel was not God's power. The Pentecostal Church had broadcast the Gospel in twenty languages over the radio station IBRA (Sweden) by 1955.log208
The Gospel remained the victorious rider, because people could hear or see it everywhere. No
fence or wall between a democratic world and a totalitarian regime could stop its extension.
International Christian radio stations numbered ten by 1950. They arranged the world conference
on missionary radio in 1954. By 1961, the Church had opened the first religious TV station in
the United States, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).log209
Two Popes ruled from the Vatican during this period, and therefore both peace and war existed. The first Pope was Pius XII (1939-1958), the last absolute monarch of the Holy See. Pius considered the curia not collaborators, but executors. Pius fought against the Light. He opened the way to critical Biblical studies in the encyclical Divino afflante spiritu. He propagated the Catholic belief and condemned new spiritual gifts that God gave to His Church for His Coming. This was done to manipulate people's attitudes, beliefs, and actions through the propaganda machine of the German Nazis under Joseph Goebbels.log210
Pius issued an ex cathedra proclamation defining the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in 1950. The ascent of the Virgin Mary into Heaven teaches Christians to stay victorious till the Rapture. The Crusade as would have ended, not more horses.log211
Pope John XXIII, the second pope of the Fourth March, was in advanced years when he rose to the papacy. He was different from his predecessor and put new life into the Church, rather than enforcing dogmas. He took Samaritan's clothes and cared about those who were needy. Instead of making enemies with other denominations, he called the Second Vatican Council and invited Protestants to attend. John XXIII propagated Bible study, and so the reformation finally came among Catholics. This sequence of events showed that the Catholic Church had finally opened the door again for the Gospel, the Christ, the Bible and the Rapture.log212
The Lord introduced Himself as "the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose
feet are like burnished bronze" for the fourth church. (Revelation 2:18-29) This is His
Heavenly appearance. The Holy Spirit also introduced Himself for this Scroll by the face that is
heavenly according to our material world--the face of an eagle. This is the sign that even all hell
would be against believers, they should not fear because He is mightier.
If the Lord had introduced Himself as the Mighty for Church, which means an enemy would be
defeated, that next wars would not have been able to lead the Christian world. So, no more
forces (horses).bib225
The new chapter for the Church starts after this Scroll, which shows the apostle John when the next letters were put in the new chapter, the (chapter 3).bib226
The Church does as the Lord spoke, "I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and
perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first."
The Lord said, "You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her
teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed
to idols."
We know Jezebel was leading the Israel King Achab to do evil deeds and drawing him from God
to earthly gods for twenty-two years. (Twenty-two years are approximately for a Scroll of the
Heavenly Book). Consequently we may see Jezebel as the founder of the Mother Church (our
mother is Earth).
Mrs. Eddy founded the Mother Church for teaching about science healing. She taught that our
mortal mind convinces us we are sick, and therefore, we are. However, mortal mind will be
punished (changed), but spiritual understanding is changeless. She convicted her followers to
consider sickness as unreal. If we would comply with her thought to death, then death also is
unreal. Therefore, the falsehood of her teaching is that they died, though should not have.
Therefore, the Lord said, "I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who
commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her
children dead."
After Eddy passed away, they needed to change teaching. Several independent groups appeared
and formed the International Metaphysical Association in 1955. Their goal was to make Mrs.
Eddy's teaching popular on TV, radio, through lectures and special schools, and printed books
and pamphlets. Positive thinking and a faith in our own strength attracted many. Their saying
was "We are just a part of God, of the universe of the mind." It meant we are also gods.log213
The Lord's words for those who were going to pass away were: Be victorious, and you will
receive power over groups, if not now then during the Millennium. "Only hold on to what you
have until I come. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority
over the nations--'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like
pottery'-just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning
star." (Revelation 2:25-28)
If the Lord said to hold what they have until His Coming, it meant His coming had not arrived;
therefore, the Rapture had not come. The symbol "morning star" meant the day (the Sun) was
coming. Therefore, we should understand that a man receiving a symbolic "morning star" will be
resurrected or raptured as the first one, before the Second Coming of the Lord on Earth.bib227
Satan and his forces could not stop the Gospel's victorious movement. Therefore, he decided to destroy the Christians and Jews themselves. To achieve these aims best, one group of Christians should be convinced to kill another. Annihilated Christians would not spread the Gospel and democracy anymore, and annihilated Jews could not build the State of Israel. Those sowing death (the fascists) might call themselves Christians, but would not be saved; they would instead be reserved for Hell.log214
God, through Habakkuk, declared for this period: "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!" Fascists and Communists took cities by killing or deporting the inhabitants, and simply threw families out of their homes and moved in.bib228
Habakkuk continues: "Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?" Industrial production was pursued mainly for wars. They militarized industry to produce items for the fire of war. They exhausted themselves for nothing.bib229
Germans wanted to build a new world order, but in their view it had to be without Jews and any other ethnic groups different from themselves. This was a Satanic idea. Communists used the same practices in their propaganda. They could not achieve it the end, however, because God's Word has been already been put in our world that: "For the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:12-14). Israel, now coming onto the battlefield, will carry the knowledge of the Lord for the Earth, by the Second Coming of the Christ Jesus to the State of Israel.bib230
The Apostle John describes the third anti-power as having "power over a fourth of the Earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the Earth." Satan used every possible thing in both the invisible and material worlds, even peoples, animals, and germs, over a fourth of the Earth; and note that World War II covered over a fourth of the Earth.log215
Stalin did not take care of his own people during the Second World War, and often it seemed as if he wanted to kill his own people. Consider, for instance, the fighting for the city of Leningrad (Petersburg), where the war was practically lost -- but the people kept fighting, often with bare hands and no bread to sustain them. Fifteen million people died in the Second World War, and half were from Stalin's army.log216
The wild beasts of the Earth also killed people. During the Second World War the number of wolves in Europe rapidly multiplied. Soldiers looked upon them as the second enemy; they were like guerillas in deep forests.log217
Many, too, were killed by famine. Tens of thousands died daily in Leningrad because of hunger. Heavy equipment was used to bury them in one massive tomb each day. About 600,000 people died of starvation in this city. Then came the Holocaust and the concentration camps, which often led people to the final death by starvation. Also, the worst famine in modern history, which took place in China in the year 1943, took five million lives.log218
Thus, Satan mobilized all his power meant He could not fight afterward, and as we did not have any more horses because of the Gospel, this was the last (spiritual) war against Christians till the Rapture.bib231
The fourth command through Joshua was to defeat the rest of the enemies' powers (Ezekiel 10:7). This command applies to today's situation as well.bib232
The command to fight came because the kings wanted to attack their ally (Gibeonites), not because the enemies' armies had started a war face-to-face with Israelites. This represents the way the Second World War broke out, when the first Jews were attacked.bib233
Hitler said, in his last words, that he won the war because many Jews had been annihilated. This testifies to the fact that Hitler himself rode "on a pale horse;" pale refers to the color of ash. He burnt the flesh of Jews, converting them to ash. Then people waiting for annihilation were pale.bib234
Tribes Dan, Asher, and Naphtali made the brigade of Dan, the army that marched fourth. They
were Jacob's sons by his maidservants. This shows the angels worked on territories where
nations lose their freedom and democracy.
Many countries lost their democracy after the Second World War.log219
Jacob said, "Dan will provide justice for his people as one tribe of Israel. Dan will be a
serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider
tumbles backward. I look for your deliverance, O LORD." (Genesis 49:16-18)
From the scriptures, the Dan emblem was the serpent or a white horse and a serpent. If a snake
bites a horse's heels, it would force the rider and the white horse to back up. That happened
when democracy was not victorious; its enemies' rider was named Death and Hades. The
Christian world lost some free territories such as Czechoslovakia. There democracy was in a
high stage before the Second World War. However, Great Britain and France betrayed
Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. They made an agreement with the red power. The United
States, as the leading white power, considered Stalin their ally against Hitler. Red power
captured more land.bib235
Jacob appointed Dan to provide justice for people and for a world. What could be a symbol of
that? Only an eagle could oversee many beings in a large territory. Beside keen vision, eagles
have strength. Whoever rules must be powerful. So Jacob appointed Dan to be an eagle for
others.
A snake was the official emblem of several military and naval units of the United States
Revolutionary forces. They forced the Heavenly army to move from democratic countries. Jacob
thought a horse that was on his side was also on God's side. We have already proved that at least
one horse from the Heavenly Book must have been belonging to God's.bib236
Ordinarily it is the first. The white horse from the First Scroll must have belonged to God.
Dan settled in two territories. The first was among the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Judah.
But the Amonites confined the Danites to the hill country and would not allow them to come to
the plains. (Judges 1:34) Afterwards, they settled in the northern part of Canaan. (Judges 18)
Therefore, it is possible the Israelites considered the tribe was symbolized by the eagle because
they overflowed into the territories of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, Zebulon, and Naphtali.
That looked as though newborn Christians moved because of persecution. They had to flee first
into hills and then to America. However, Judah had his territory there. And therefore, we saw
two kinds of tribes identified in the United States. Two parties had been in power in the United
States: the Republicans and the Democrats.log220
The Republicans cared more about democracy and freedom, as shown for the Gospel. (See lastly
Bush and Clinton.) I deduced that Danites were those who were on the side of the Democrats.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, of the Democratic party, was President of the United States in
1933-45. He had hoped to keep the United States out of World War II. Despite indications that
Stalin's ambitions in Eastern Europe might violate the Atlantic Charter, Roosevelt foresaw
Soviet-United States cooperation through a United Nations (red dragon Stalin was ally of the
white horse). Roosevelt would also be considered one who settled in two territories. First, he was
from a Dutch family, who moved and became Americans. The Dutch fought with the English.
Secondly, the Roosevelt family already had had another member in the Presidency office,
Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and a Republican. Franklin married
a distant cousin, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, whose uncle had been Theodore Roosevelt. As shown,
they were first Republicans and then Democrats.
When Jacob was at Dan, he said, "I look for your deliverance, O LORD." He would notice
terror in his soul because of the annihilation of the Jews by fascists, and therefore, awaited this
mighty eagle to take and replace them in Palestine. This happened then and USA has become the
guarantee of state if Israel.bib237
We knew Dan had Micah's idol. (Judges 17) They had built the city of Dan, and the second sinful sanctuary in the Kingdom of Israel was there. (I Kings 12:26-30) This could relate to the sin of Babylon, the Hollywood movies that could infect human souls by unreal pictures and stories. Moses confirms this also because placed Dan among tribes that pronounced curses of the Law.log221
Naphtali was the second son of Rachel's maidservant Bilhah and Dan's brother. Naphtali settled
in the northern part of Canaan. Jacob said, "Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful
fawns." (Genesis 49:21) Jesus lived in Nazareth and Capernaum, which were in the land of
Zebulon and Naphtali. (Matthew 4:12-16)
A doe set free that bears beautiful fawns stood for the Slavic nations settled in the west. There is
Bohemia. This name could be derived from the word God = Boh. They had contributed many
new thoughts in culture or technology and for Christianity, e.g. Hussites and Moravians till the
Communists' seizing of power in this scroll. Beautiful words in literature and music, inventions,
etc. have become loved as products (fawns) of humans' creativeness. The battlefield where the
rider of the white horse tumbled backward was here. Czechoslovakia was between two evil
powers. Fascists in Germany and the red power in the U.S.S.R. The results were big battles with
much blood and fighting over who would rule. The Communists took power in 1948.log222
Jesus lived in the territory of Naphtali before His ministry. John Hus excommunicated (1411) and burned at the stake (1415) here before other world reformers, Luther and Calvin, came on the scene. Hussites had wars till the years 1431, in which crusading armies (a pope and holy roman emperors) were repeatedly defeated by the Hussite army. The victorious Hussites preceded armies fighting for the reformation's existence in Europe (Thirty Years War mostly on the same territory and undecided). Now the armies fighting for the Gospel in the end times.log223
The Moravian Church has its roots in the Czech Reformation. It is a direct continuation of the Bohemian Brethren or Moravian Brethren, based on the newborn principle for the Church (1457), and established an independent ministry. It preceded world denominations, based on a person's resurrected spirit and their bishop, John Amos Comenius is named the teacher of nations. He advocated to teach so as teachers do today.log224
Moses placed Naphtali among tribes that pronounced curses of the Law. This could be because they today adhere rather to woman from Revelation 17 than to "woman" from Revelation 12. bib238
Asher was also from the maidservant but served Leah. Jacob said: "Asher's food will be rich;
he will provide delicacies fit for a king." (Genesis 49:20)
Asher settled on fertile land east of the Great Sea. Maybe we can put here the Low Countries, a
term used collectively for Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, or the whole west
territory of Europe. The western front was opened in the war against Hitler. The western
countries seemed as though they would be added to the U.S.S.R. These countries were once as
children of a maidservant, but the United States redeemed them. The United States sent billions
worth of dollars of goods under the Marshall Plan for the European distress and to found
industrial markets. In such a way, the United States could satisfy the working class, and the
people would not revolt.log225
Since they belonged to Leah means they complied with riding the white horse first (USA).
Moses placed Asher among tribes that pronounced curses of the Law what could picture the
leading society for sinfulness in the Christian world (legalization drugs, anaesthesia ).bib239
The conclusion.
I conclude that Satan lost in the Christian world. He could not stop the building of the Church needed before the Rapture.
The Earth's populations can flourish. Light or the white horse is and will conquer.
The new world history has started because Satan tries to stop the building the second nation of God, Israel.
