Why  We  Can  and  Must  Set  Times   Now

Dear Friend,

To understand the issues in this newsletter, it is vital for you to read the previous newsletter titled "Truth and the News is Layered."  This article is a must read if you want to be saved from the End of the World, the   "tribulations,"   because the   TRUTH   is being   "revealed"   to us now, as Christ opens the "book" of Revelation given to Apostle John,  "sealed with seven seals" Rev.5:1. 

The churches and most people believe Mat.24:36 that we can't know the  "day and the hour"  when Christ will come. They don't want to read verse 42 to 44, where we are asked to  "watch"  world events and for God's  "Two  Witnesses"  Rev.11:3, and to   "KNOW"   when the   "thief,"   Satan Jn.8:44 is   "cast out from heaven"  Rev.12:9,  that we may be   "READY"   for the  Beast  and soon after that for Christ's second coming Mat.24:44!   For this reason we must realize that the  "whole world is   'deceived"  Rev.12:9 including Christianity, and all its denominations and members, as the people were in Noah's day  Mat.24:37.  If you are not willing to  "examine"  what I say here  2Cor.13: 5, you  can't    "come  out"  Rev.18:4 of your   "deception,"   and will stay in the   "snare  of  the  Devil"  2Tim.2:26.   As a result you will be like the people in Noah's day,  and   "destroyed,"   for serving the Devil,  whose pre-ordained function is to   "KILL  YOU"   Jn.10:10,  if you don't   "obey"   God your Creator, Jesus our Christ  Eph.3:9.   

Protection  or  salvation  can  be  gained  to  eternal  life  only  through  Jesus (n.3:16-18 . The salvation in the churches does not teach that nobody  can come to Jesus unless the Father  "draws him"  Jn.6:44.  This means that no one, and this includes Christians who worship the "long haired Jesus"  ICor.11:14, who is the   "god of this world"  2Cor.4:4 .   If Christians are not willing to   "come out"  of this world's religions Rev.18:4, like Catholicism and its Protesting or Protestant  churches, and from the religion of Islam,  the worshippers of Buda, or the Shinto's, Hindu's in India or any other religions, they   CAN'T  be saved in this age!  They can't because we were   ALL   "deceived" Rev.12: 9.   All humanity and the angelkind was  "pre-ordained"   to be   ALIENATED   Eph.4:18 according our Creator's  pre-ordained  plan of salvation  Rev.13:8, that we may be   RECONCILIATED   2Cor.5:18  to our Father, and   "His First begotten Son"  Heb.1:6 in our pre-ordained time,   "order"  ICor.15:23  in God's future   "ages to come"   Eph.1:7.

This tell us that unless we find and recognize God's  First Witness,  of His  "Two  Witnesses",  sent to the Christians, we cannot  find protection or be    SAVED   from the terrible   "plagues"  Rev.18:4  of the  "tribulations"  Mat.24:21 , or in the   "Day  of  the  Lord"   Joel.2:11 , when the   "re-creation"  of the world will be done, as it was in the day when our Creator   "tested"  Satan to be our Anti-god, as recorded in Genesis sixth thousand years ago, and humanity tested later in Noah's day. 

This  is  the  time  when  God  will  change  the  rulership  of  the  fallen  angels  over  humanity with  the  rulership  of  qualified  humans  over  humanity  and  the  angels.  This change will be cataclysmic.

God's  First  Witness  must   "set  times,"   because God has  "set  them",   like the resurrection of Job 14:13.  This principle of  setting times  was revealed to  Job back then. The First Witness notifies the Anti-god,  Satan,  because Satan was  "cast  out  of  heaven  to  the  earth" Rev.12:9, so our Creator has no direct communication with him as He had in the days of  Job 1:8.  Now, Christ is using His  qualified human children,  His  saints,  to notify the Anti-god.  In the millennium and during the "ages  to  come"  Eph.2:7  God will use us.   Satan must    "change  times,  and  laws"    Dan.7:25  to accomplish our Creator's will!   Satan must change from   "stealing"   our wealth and health of  his function, to the   "KILLING  PHASE"   of his work  Jn.10:10. This   MARKS   the time of the   "tribulations."   God, our Father  reserved  the   "setting  times"  to Himself, and had not given it even to the angels serving Him in heaven, until now.   At the   End of the World  or   NOW,  God is using His First Witness to warn us.  

Setting times is now vital because we are so close to the  End of the World  Mat.24:3 .  This  "setting of times and laws"  is a function and a   "sign"   God gives us to find and  identify  God's  First Witness.  This is why the First Witness' first function was to  "restore"  the   "mystery"  of God, given to Apostle Paul but   "hidden"  until now Rev.10:7, and by it to   "witness"   to the anglesMat.17:11.  Then the First Witness had  to   "restore"   God's three  laws,  upon which rests God's three   religions,  and on which rests His three   Kingdoms.  The Kingdoms of God could not be preached until this First Witness arrived, because we did not have God's true  "knowledge of salvation"  Lk.1:77 or the LAWS  of God, for His three Kingdoms.   We know that Jesus did not only introduce the new  laws  on the Sermon of the Mount, and preach a new   religion,   but he also preached  the coming of the "Kingdom of Heaven" Mat.4:17.  

This is why God's First Witness, first   "restored"   God's three   LAWS   and on these laws His  three basic   RELIGIONS,   could now preach and set up God's three   KINGDOMS   and its physical Embassies for our safety and security.   Any who will not   "find"   this Prophet Mat.7:14 will be in jeopardy at the End of the World as the people were in Noah's day  Mat.24:3 .  They will be thrown into the   "tribulations"  where they will be  killed,  not having access to God's   "Place  of  Safety"   Rev.12:6, for not being   "ready"   to enter into it, as the five foolish virgins did not  Mat.25:10.

Locating God's Seals in Revelation

Jesus prophesied that at the  End of the World,  we will be like the people in Noah's day Mat.24:37, who did not have God's   "knowledge of salvation"  Lk.1:77 , neither God's   "holy  spirit"   to understand God.   This is why Christ promised that   "nothing  covered,  that  shall  not  be  revealed" Mat.10:26  at the   "End  of  the  World"  Dan.12:9; Mat.24:3 .  For at the End, a  "refreshing"  of the truth  shall come from the  "presence  of  Christ"  Acts.3:17,  spread by the  "Two Witnesses"  Rev.11 :3, the  "mystery  of  God"  Eph.3:3, or  "Paul's gospel,"  because we all are and will be judged by Paul's gospel Rom.2:16.  

Since   ALL   humankind is   "deceived"   Rev.12:9 and the   "time  of  the  end"  is   "hidden"  from the angelkind also,  it is the function of God's   First  Witness,  sent to the Christians to   "restore"   the truth  Mat.17:11 as it was promised.  It is then the   First  Witness' function to   "set"   certain   "times  and  laws"  that we may find the  right time  period we are in,  or  which   SEAL  of   GOD we are in. 

It is given that the   4th  Seal   Rev.6:7  was from 1992 until   November  4, 1999   when the USA "united"   the banks, insurance companies, the stocks and commodity markets. The change to the new system and God's   "seal"  was made in a nano-second during the   Y2K.  The whole world was supposed to come to a financial   CRASH   as we were told.  The   CRASH   did not take place suddenly  because the change was made so fast.   We are experiencing of that crash and will experience its pain as time will go on.  To delay the    "crash",   the USA is   "buying  money,"   to support the dollar by exporting   jobs   and our   manufacturing.   To hide our costs of debt servicing, to the National Debt,  the USA sold our only deep water port in Long Beach to the Chinese.   We gave away our   "gate"  our Long Beach port Nahum 3:13 to delay the bankruptcy of our country. 

The   5th  Seal    Rev.6:9 started with the   Y2K   and lasted until    May  of   2003,   when the US/UK started a war  with   IRAQ   for the supposed attack on   9/11  in   2001.   The fifth seal and its function is very little understood.   It contains the voice of the martyred.   It was a time of preparation for the persecution of the Christians and for their martyrdom now.  We were given a little   "rest"   Rev.6: 11 from our  persecution,  for the sake of God's   First  Witness.   Our Creator,  Jesus Eph.3:9  "withheld"  2Thes.2:6  the   "evil,"   the coming of the   "man  of  sin"   Vs.3, also known as the   "Beast"   Rev.11:7, and sometime called the Anti-christ. 

The   6th  Seal   Rev.6:12 started in   May  2003   with the war between the   US / UK  and   IRAQ.   In this war Satan was  "cast  out ... into  the  earth"   and his angels with him  Rev.12:9. Since that time the world has turned into hell.   The nation in Iraq  has lost almost a half million people until now, and the depleted uranium  (DU)  is killing all of them, including our soldiers.   The killing is still going on and increasing daily.  The  USA  had many horrible catastrophes,  like  Katrina  and  Rita,  warning us of more evil coming,  which will  culminate  with the arrival of the Biblical   BEAST   in the fall of 2008.   The world is primed for the   "fall  of  the  saints"   Dan.11:33, when Satan, and his Beast will   "war  with  the  remnant"  Rev.12:17 of God's children,  who did not   "FLEE"   to God's   Place  of  Safety   Rev.12:6.   At the End of the   "sixth  seal,"  and the beginning of the  "seventh  seal" is when the persecution, and the  martyrdom  will begin.   This will be marked by great  "earthquakes,"  and   "plagues"  Rev.18:4 and   "signs"   in the heavens Rev.6:12,13.   We are prepared for it with the   H5N1  Avian flue,  which will be augmented with the 1918   H1N1  Spanish Flue, which killed and devastated people world wide.

The   7th  Seal   Rev.8:1 will start with the arrival of the  Biblical  Beast  in the fall of   2008  and will last until Christ's  second coming,  possibly in   2013.   The  sixth  and the  seventh  seal is the   "tribulation"  Mat.24:21.   We are shown that our  Creator,  Jesus  our  Christ Eph.3:9  will   "destroy  the  earth,"   like when He   "tested,"  to qualify  Satan Gen.1:1 to be the  "god  of  this  world"   2Cor. 4:4, to be our  Anti-god  Jn.10:10.  Satan Jn.8:44,  the Devil must execute God's    JUDGMENT   on us at the End of the World.  Satan must   "destroy"   the world because   ALL   nations live by   "Satan's way,"   making them   IDOLATERS!   The United States of American turned to be an   IDOLATER nation  on   June  5,  1933,   with   House Joint Resolution 192.   Now the time of   "judgement"  I Pet. 4:17  of   death  for our   "sin"   I Jn.3:4 is here Rom.6:23.  

To simplify the end time's chronology we start with    June  5,  1933   when the infamous House Joint Resolution 192 in America changed our and God's   LAWS   with the  "codes"  of the Anti-god.  The USA also changed on that date its   MONEY,   the  Dollar  to a fiat, negotiable credit instrument,  the "$ dollar!"   We changed from   "God's  way"   of living to the   "Anti-god's  way"   of living  Prov.14: 12. This   "SIN"  turned every Christian in the  USA  into an   IDOLATER,   accordingly  to Romans 6:16.  
We, the   "last  generation"  Mat.24:34 are given 80 years Psa.90:10.   Add to 1933 eighty (80) years and we come to the year  2013.   Take away from   2013   seven (7) years for the   "tribulation"   and it gives us the year   2006.   As you see things are going right on schedule.  This is how we know that the   "elect  of  God"  Mat.24:22  will need to   "FLEE"   from this country Rev.12:6) in    2008,   because the Beast is given to rule three and a half years Rev.13:5, and Jesus also has a three and a half year ministry left, giving us seven (7) years.   Seeing this, it is interesting that the   "National  ID  Card,"  will make it impossible not to wear the   "MARK of the BEST"    Rev.13:17.   We also know that some of Christ's ministry of three and a half years will overlap or coincide with Satan's and the Beast's ministry.  

The Time of the First, and the Second WOE 

Our Creator is an Omnipotent God.  Satan, the Anti-god, is His obedient servant Job.2:6.  Jesus, now our Christ and our Creator Eph.3:9 made Satan   "evil"  from his  beginning  Jn.8:44, to be our      Anti- god, to rule the forces of evil, between  " good  and  evil,"   creating our tensions, and conflicts.  We know that there is  "no truth in Satan"  Jn.8:44.   When the time comes that Satan must rule without the restricting and balancing power of our Creator for   "forty and two months"  Rev.13: 5, and when he will   "sit  as God in the  temple  of  God,  showing  himself  that  he  is  God"  2Thes.2:4, humanity and the angelkind will experience  TOTAL  EVIL,  the destruction of life and the earth.  This will take away the rulership of the angels over mankind.  All  life would be destroyed, but for the "elects sake those days shall be shortened"  Mat.24:22.  This "destruction" will be accomplished in three steps or phases. 

Christ in the Bible calls this time periods   "WOES."   We are told that in the   "First  WOE"  a third (1/3)  of the world and its population is destroyed.   This is two billion people.  The  "First  WOE"  will come when an angel of God will open the  "bottomless  pit"  and will release an angel whose name is  "Abaddon,"  whom the Greeks call   "Apollyon"  and we call  Apollo  Rev.9: 11,12. This will take place during the time given to the angel of the  "sixth  seal"  Vs.13.  This event will be at the end of the  "sixth  seal"  and the beginning of the terrible   "seventh  seal"  Rev.8:1.

If you are not  "deceived,"  you will know the arrival of  Apollo,  as he will rise from the  "bottomless pit"  as the   "Beast"  of  Rev.11:7,  who will be  accepted  by the world as a great leader, and by the deceived Christians as an   "angel  of  light"  2 Cor.11:14,  who will be the Anti-christ.  Since he is the Anti-christ, he will appear to come from heaven, not from the  "bottomless  pit."  This is why he will have to  lie,  that he is the   "christ."  The  Beast  will   "deceive"   the people with  "lying  wonders"  and artificial  man made miracles, aided   "with  all  the  power  and  signs"   of Satan  2 Thes.2:9.  

These   "lying  wonders"  will be man made, technically produced miracles.  The appearance of the Beast and the miracles will be done by  computer generated  holographic  pictures,  to imitate Christ's second coming in the sky  Mat.24:27.   The Beast or Anti-christ will appear as Jesus to the Christians,  Allah to Islam and  many other forms  of deities according to the beliefs of the people in different parts of the world.  These pictures of the different saviors will morph into a new picture of the  "long  haired"  Christ  ICor.11:14.  This event also will be accompanied by computer generated subliminal  suggestions,  or   mind control   world wide, that people may accept this event as real.

 Christ will also send the people   "strong  delusions  to  believe  Satan's  lies"   2 Thes.2:11.   If your name is not written in the   "book  of  life"  Rev.17:8,  you will believe these lying wonders.  These deceptions will be so close to the truth, that if it would be possible even the   "very  elect"   will be "deceived"   Mat.24:24, who is the First Witness of God.

 This event will be prepared beforehand with artificially created   "confusion"  Dan.9:7,8  and destruction of our   money system  and  economy,  accompanied with great   violence,  plagues of diseases, volcanic activities, hurricanes, floods and droughts and other natural appearing but artificially created catastrophes, and a    W-A-R   to  IMITATE   Christ's second coming.   As an "Elect,  you  must  know  that  when  the  true  Christ  comes,   Jerusalem  and  every  city  will  be leveled  and  destroyed   Zech.14:4.  

This time period of the  "tribulation"  will be  devastating,  because Satan and his demons will   "SLAY  A   THIRD  PART  OF  MEN"  Rev.9:15b.  The destruction will  NOT  be across the board, but only in certain and different areas.   This is when   America,  as a continent will be  destroyed,  as "Mystery  Babylon  the  Great  will  be"  Rev.18:2.   Some places will be hit by earthquakes, others by floods or tornadoes, others by war.   The sicknesses and plagues will be world wide.   People will be dying in great  numbers, as we see in   Iraq  now   and in Africa.  This is why Jesus called this time period the   "beginning  of  sorrows"   Mat.24:8.   Jesus called this the   "beginning"  because two more   WOES   are coming, which will kill the earth's population as it was in Noah's day (Mat.24:37) .

Christ emphasizes this   First  WOE,   because the   "sixth  seal  is the last chance for Christians to "come  out"  of the system of the Anti-god  Rev.18:4, and to   "enter  into" one of the three Kingdoms of God Mat.6:33.   This is the time period when you can  qualify    to be in the resurrection without dying  I Cor.15:52;  I Thes.4:17.   After this time to be in the  resurrection  can be attained only through martyrdom, because the gates to  God's   Place  of  Safety   will be shut  Mat.25;  Rev.12:6.   Many Christians will wake up and will be   "weeping  and  gnashing  their  teeth"   Mat.24:52 for not listening to God's  First  Witness  in time.  These now must sacrifice their lives to   "obey"   Christ, or they will need to   "obey"   the Anti-god and its system / government.   Satan must kill his own believers, for Satan's job is to  "kill"  those who do not obey their Creator Jn.10:10.  Disobeying our Creator is Idolatry, and punished as   "sin"   with   "death"  Rom.6:23.

Please remember that all these events are only years away,  like when Israel   "fled"   from Egypt, or the Christians  "fled"  from Jerusalem before 70 AD and the destruction of the Temple, Jerusalem, and the nation of Israel.  Unless Christ   "delays  His  coming,"   the   "elect  of  God"  will now  again   "flee"   from every country in the world to God's   Place  of  Safety   prepared for us by the angels Rev.12:6,  which can be as soon as the spring of    2008

The   Second  WOE   will be when the  Two  Witnesses  are killed Rev.11:7 in Jerusalem.   At this time seven thousand people will be killed in Jerusalem Vs.13.

God's   Third  WOE  

You may have skimmed over the tragedy of the  First  WOE,  not realizing that at this time ALL opposition of any kind to the   "Anti-god's  way"  will now be  eliminated,  to create a   UNITY  the world has never seen, by tyranny. Satan, the "god of this world"  2 Cor.4:4 can't love, being the opposite of God.  He can't bring  UNITY  based on love, only on   FEAR,  intimidation and annihilation. When one third of mankind will be killed, it does not mean the Chinese, the Indians and other Gentiles and other religious groups, but mostly the   Christians,   because only they have a different God, than the Anti-god.  This means that the people of the north, the white people the resisters will be eliminated. All the Christians will be killed unless they flee to God's  Place of Safety. The Old and New Testament prophecies say that they will be annihilated. 

This very soon coming  "persecution"  and the   KILLING   of the Christians in the   "sixth  seal,"  and the opposition to the Beast's system will be much worse than the  combined  killing  of what Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung did.   We are told by our Creator, Jesus  Eph.3:9,  that the  "great  tribulation" shall be   "such  as  was  not  since  the  beginning  of  the  world  to  this  time,  no  nor  ever  shall be"   Mat.24:21.   Please meditate on this for a moment and see yourself in this  "persecuted" group! We read   "and  the  dragon  was  wroth  with  the  woman  (the Christians),  and  went  to  make   W-A-R   with  the   'remnant'   of  her  seed,  which  keep  the   commandments  of  God,   and have the  testimony  of  Jesus Christ"   Rev.12:17.  Any who would not   "worship   (this means to  "obey"  the "codes" Rom.6:16)  the image  (government)   of  the Beast  should  be  killed"  Rev.13:15.

This annihilation,  holocaust  will take place in   five  months   Rev.9:10.   After this time a new system will be instituted by the  Beast,  by changing some of the  banking  laws, like Hitler did, eliminating  interest  payments  on loans,  and a new harsh  religious code will maintain   "peace" among the people.  The   Sabbath  will be very strictly enforced  Mat.24:20.  Satan will allow Lucifer, the angel of commerce to make   "craft,"   business   "prosper"   and produce a forced   "peace"   among mankind  Dan.8:25.   Work will be plenty, business good and prosperity will appease people, who did not have it before.   The carnal man's potential will be aided.  The   "deceived"  and un- knowing people will think Christ's second coming took place, and His millennial reign has started.  

This horrible   KILLING   will be the beginning at the   "seventh  seal."   It is unfortunate that the PEACE  will last a short time, for Christ gave   "forty  and  two  month"   to the Beast to reign Rev.13:5.   During this time God will   "hold  back"   the evil, as He did in the   "sixth  seal,"  that the Two Witnesses  my   WARN   the   WORLD,   of the Beast's coming 2Thes.2:6.  After the 3.5 years God will release the   "evil"  on the earth, allowing the  Sun  and the Moon and the other terrestrial and celestial bodies to affect the world adversely.   The   "plagues  of  God"   Rev.18:4, the   "Seven Trumpets"  of the   "Seventh  Seal"   and the   "Seven  Last  Plagues"  soon will come, and will eclipse Satan's  "plagues"  causing the   First  WOE,   as the Pharaoh's priest's plagues were eclipsed by Moses'.

If our Creator allowed all the Christians to  "die,"  who did not  " flee"  to His Place of Safety Rev.12:6, now the world's population  must  DIE  that the angels'  reconciliation 2Cor.5:18 could begin starting with the   Second   WOE  coming.   This was  "pre-ordained" before the foundation of the earth was made, by God   "creating  evil"   Isa.45:7.  

The Beast's three and a half years of   PEACE   will last until the   "ten  kings"   ruling under the Beast will see an Asteroid, looking like a  "great  millstone"  (looking like a donut)  coming to collide with the earth  Rev.18:21 .  This is when the ten kings will rise up and rebel Rev.17:12,13,16,17  against the  "Beast"  Rev.11:7  because Christ will give them the thought to rebel against the Beast Rev.17 :17.   There will be a    war,   and in this   W-A-R   the Beast's army will be beaten by the ten kings. Jerusalem will be  "utterly  burned  with  fire"   for   "strong  is  the  Lord  God  who  judges  the Beast"  Rev.18:8.   This is when the Asteroid will hit the earth causing great destruction and death Vs.17,  and the fall of Babylon the great" Vs.2.  

This is when the Beast will go to the  "north"  and the  "east"  and to the  "whole  world"  to gather an army of possible a 200 million men, to mirror the  200 million angelic army,  which was  "cast  out with  Satan  to  the  earth"  Rev.9:16,  to battle with the ten kings.  This huge army will come from the east crossing the  Euphrates river,  because it will dry up  Rev.16:12, as the result of God's Seventh Trumpet's   Sixth Plague   Rev.15 and 16.  This battle will be in the valley of    "Armageddon" Rev.16: 16.   Christ and His spiritual angelic army will battle the spiritual army of Satan!   The physical army of the Beast will be destroyed, as Sodom and Gomorrah was with fire and brimstone catastrophe.  

After this spiritual and physical battle will come Christ's second coming with His angels and saints, circling the globe from the   east  to  the  west   Mat.24:27,  and will touch down on the Mount of Olives, from where He ascended to heaven, outside of the city of Bethany Lk.24:50.   As Christ  will descends on the Mount of Olives, the mount will divide in the middle and one part will go to the  "east"  and the other to the   "west."   There will be a huge valley as the mountains will move to the  "north"  and the  "south"  Zech 14:4. We read that at that time   "all  the  hosts  of  heaven  shall  be  dissolved"  or their spiritual armies Isa.34:4, in this spiritual battle which will be a year long V.8  which is the time period called   "The  Day  of  the  Lord"  Joel.2:11 containing the   "Seven  Last   Plagues"  of God,  which is the    Third WOE.

We are in   March  2006,  before God's   Second  Witness   of His   "Two  Witnesses"  will arrive. It looks that this Prophet's work will be  "cut  short,"  for the   "Elects  shake"  Mat.24:22, to shorten the sufferings of all the people of the world.   It is your opportunity and duty knowing God's "mystery" Eph.3:3  to prepare and to help the   "testimony"   of God's   First  Witness,   to fulfill his function. The First Witness must warn all Christians to   "come  out"  of this world of the Anti-god  Rev.18:4, and that they may   "enter  into"   Mat.6:33  one of God's Kingdoms and its Embassies to do God's "WORK"   Acts.13:41.  This is for your  protection,  safety  and  security,   that you may qualify to   FLEE to   God's  Place  of  Safety,   that you may be   "saved"   from the   "End  of  the  World"   scenario and the destruction of the earth.  

Only the   "Elect  of  God"  Mat.24:22, who know God's   "mystery"   Eph.3:3, the members of God's Philadelphia church Rev.3:7 will be saved from   "the  hour  of  temptation,  which  shall  come  upon all  the  world,  to  try  them  that  dwell  upon  the  earth"  Rev.3:10.   This can be you if you respond to this message by willing to become a partner of God's First Witness' work. 

May Christ   bless  you to have   eyes to see and ears to hear,   that you may be Protected and SAVED   into one of Christ's coming   three  Kingdoms,   according to your willingness to respond to your Creator's invitation.

In the reality of Christ's eternal love, your friend and brother,
