Who  is  the  Beast?   

Dear Friend,

We are in the   "sixth  seal"  Rev.6:12 of the Book of Revelation, and the  "tribulation"  Mat.24:21and at the   "beginning  of  sorrows"   V.8, just before the appearing of the Biblical   "Beast"   Rev.11:7, and the arrival of God's powerful   "Two  Witnesses"   V.3. The coming of God's Two Witnesses is now an absolute necessity, because  "God's  system";  laws, religions and kingdoms are so constricted that Christians who want to  "obey"  our Creator, not to be idolaters Rom.6:16 are  "persecuted"  so much that they can't live 2Tim.3:12.  Christianity is completely   "deceived"   Rev.12:9!  Only God's First Witness of His Two Witnesses  "obey"  God's laws, and live by    "God's Way"   Prov.14:12; Mat.7:14.

The Biblical   "Beast's system;"  laws, religion and government  bringing absolute tyranny is well on its way to be implemented by Satan and his angels, which were  "cast  out"  from the lower heaven to the earth during the terrible     US/UK  vs.  IRAQ    WAR   in   May  2003   Rev.12:9.  Since  no others were willing risk their reputations, I had to do Christ's work I had to make this announcement. 

The   Spirit  Beast  will  be  released   from  the   "bottomless  pit"  in    May  of   2006   by Satan, according to our Creator's  pre-ordained  plan Rev.9:1-5.  This is a crucial event, yet no one dares  to declare it.   This might be because to do this, is the   "work"   Acts.13:41 of  God's Two Witnesses'   First  Witness,  as the  "work"  of  John the Baptist  was to announce our Savior's first coming.  God's First Witness is like  John the Baptist, and  Elijah is like God's Second  Witness, and its two Prophets promised to come before Christ's second coming Mat.17:11, to prepare the world and the saints of God, for the End of the World Mat.24:3!   The  "Beast,"  the Anti-christ  must and soon  come to  "deceive the whole world" Rev.12:9 that he is the   "christ,"   before the true Christ comes!

God's  Two Witnesses  are not known at the present,  until   it is time for their  public arrival,  as it was of Elijah's, after he was  "hiding"  in the  wilderness  first, and then in the  house  of  Zarephath  IKings17:3,9  for   three  years   to start his public work IKings.18:1,19-22,30-37.   Later,  John the Baptist started his work  Lk.3:1-3, 8 and  after them did Jesus.  Remember, Jesus started His public  "work"  after John finished his Mat.4:12,17.  God's First Witness'  work  has started but not his   "public"  work.  The   First  Witness'   public work is to announce God's   JUDGMENT   for our idolatry, caused by   "serving"  and  "obeying"  thus  "worshipping"   the Anti-god Rom.6:16.  God's  First  Witness  is like  Elijah, who identified or   "called"   those who were to punish God's people for their sin.  Elijah had to anoint the king of Syria   "Hazael"  and   "Jehu"  to be king of Israel, and  "Elisha"  to be a Prophet in  Elijah's  place to punish Israel for their idolatry IKing.19:15-17. 

Today these three beings will be an angel, coming from the  "bottomless  pit"  Rev.9:1 named Abaddon also called Apollyon or Apollo V.11, who is the  spirit  Beast  as the foreign king,  Hazael was.  The human king of our nation will be like   Jehu   was to Israel,  and God's Second Witness will be as   Elisha   the Prophet was for Israel.  All three of these personages will   "torment"  our people Rev.11:10,  as Moses did Egypt in the past.  So we have an idea who are the three major players in the coming three and a half years while God's  Two  Witnesses    "testify"  God's truth Rev.11:3. 

We also have the  spirit Beast   for Hazael, the  human Beast  for  Jehu and the  False Prophet   for Elisha, on the international scene who will punish   ALL  nations for their sins Rev.12:10.

God's First Witness will be active, to warn and   "call"  God's children IJn.3:10, His "elect" Mat.24:22, and will prepare them to "come out" of this system Rev.18:4 to be ready to  "FLEE"  to God's Place of Safety Rev.12:6 at the End of this Period, as Moses prepared Israel to " FLEE"  from Egypt.  God's First  Witness is an Ambassador 2Cor.5:20 of God's  "highest"  kingdom of the "Godhead" Rom.1: 20.  He will set up God's Philadelphia church Rev.3:7 to whom given the promise that when all the world will be  "tried"  they will be saved, and if they  "flee"  with the First  Witness, they can be in the resurrection without dying 1Thes.4:17 because they have God's  "knowledge of full salvation" Lk.1:77, God's  "mystery"  given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3.

The Spirit Beast and its Work 

Christ  identified to us, using  Apostle John this  "spirit   Beast"   and his name.  We can know more about this angel if we look for   "it,"  in the Old Testament, (the word  "it"  is used because the angels / demons have no gender, as we will not after our resurrection to eternal life Mat.22:30.)   We must look for this spirit in the Old Testament to get to know the physical or human Beast coming a little later.   This human Beast will be  killed after a certain time.  This is when the  spirit  Beast   will  "possess"  the body of this dead   "human Beast,"   and will make it appear as if this man's  "deadly  wound  was healed"  Rev.13:12, by making it appear, as if his "resurrection"  has taken place. This is a deception to imitate the real Christ's first  resurrection after His crucifixion Mat.28:5.  Humanity  "deceived,"  not knowing Christ,  or the prophecies will see this, and will believe this "deception" as real.

Our Creator will  help Satan to pull this off, by   "sending a strong  delusion"  that all people and Christians "should believe this lie"  and many others lies  2Thes.2:11.  The  spirit Beast's  name is Apollyon in Geek or   "Apollo,"  identifying him Rev.9:11.  Webster's' Dictionary tells us that Apollo was the Greek and Roman god of   sunlight,   prophecy, music and poetry.   We find in the writing's of Ezekiel  the Prophet identifying this angelic being, ruling over the ancient city of Tyrus Ezek.28:1.  

Our Creator,  Jesus  Christ  Eph.3:9, gave this angel   "great  wisdom"  and the ability to create   "business,"  which we today call   "traffic"  to create great   "riches"  and prosperity V.5.  Daniel identifies the spirit  Beast,  in his prophecies concerning the  End of the World, he calls  "latter  times,"  when the worlds'  "transgressions are come to the full,  (when the SIN of the world is full, as in Noah's day) a king of fierce countenance, and understanding   dark sentences,   shall stand up" Dan.8:23.  This points us to Nebuchadnezzar the first world ruler of Babylon and also of Hitler,  who changed the banking system in Germany, and made it the strongest country in Europe economically, by creating heavy industry.   This king or its spirit,  the   spirit  Beast   will have mighty power and   "shall  prosper,  and  practice"  ... and   "through his policy also shall cause craft  (business) to prosper"  world wide V.24,25.  

The   spirit Beast   like Hitler's, will punish and kill   "God's  holy  people."   This time the true Jews, and the true Christians will be killed Dan.8:24,25, as the Beast is prophesied to do in the book of Revelation 13:15.   We also note that  this  spirit Beast   will  "stand up against the Prince of princes; (the true Christ when He comes) but he shall be broken without hand"  V.25.  This identifies this "spirit Beast"  as the ruler of Tyrus  Ezek.28:1, the   BEAST  at the End of the World Mat.24:3.  This  spirit Beast and the False Prophet's spirit, whom Christ will throw into the  "fire which burns with brimstone" at His second coming Rev.19:20.  

Ezekiel tells us that this spirit being  "seals up  (hides) ...  wisdom, and was perfect in beauty" Ezek.28:12.   "Hiding"  the truth reminds us of the Pharisees, and now the Christian churches, who are teaching the   "doctrines  of  the  Pharisees"   Mat.16:6, 12, and by it   "SHUT  up  (close)  the kingdom of heaven (the resurrection and salvation) against men" Mat.23:13.  The Christian churches are preventing the Christian's   SALVATION  under the guidance of this spirit.  This is why Christ warns us to  "come  out"  from Christianity and their deceptions Rev.18:4. This   spirit  Beast   is very clever and beautiful, attractive to humanity in every way.  He is Satan's chief   "deceiver,"  using his wisdom  to cater to our   "evil  heart,"  our human nature  Jer.17:9,  using our  "LUST of our eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life" IJn.2:16,  our greed  for money and power / security, ego to gain  status, and our love for beautiful things, like beautiful woman / man, clothing, cars, house and other possessions etc. to serve the Anti-god, Satan.

Ezekiel also tells us that the   spirit Beast   was the angel in the garden of Eden, decorated with all the beautiful gems God created Ezek.28:13.  He was God's "anointed cherub that covered" God's  throne V.14.  He was a  "perfect  angel"  until   "INIQUITY"   or lawlessness Mat.7:23 was found in him  V.15, and   "SINNED"  and  was  "cast  out"  from God's presence V16.  This spirit has great wisdom had great   "brightness"  V.17. 

Isaiah also identify and name this  spirit Beast  as  Lucifer,  in  Isa.14:12,  who has  "fallen from heaven"  and was  "cut down to the ground," and into the  "bottomless pit "  for wanting to "exalt his throne above the stars of God"  the other angels of God and mankind V.13.  Isaiah prophesied what Lucifer will do at the End of the World by saying:  "I  will  sit  ...  upon  the  mount  of  the  congregation  (nation),  in  the sides  of  the  north:  I  will  ascend  above  the  heights  of  the  clouds;  I  will  be  like the  most  High"   V.13,14.  This is describing the coming of the Beast in the sky like the real Christ will, as we have seen in my previous articles.  Christ is telling us that He will destroy this wonderful world of  Satan and Lucifer at His coming, by "... shaking kingdoms; and make the world as a wilderness, and  DESTROY  the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?" V.17

The Human Beast 

Knowing the   spirit Beast   gives us a clue who will be the  "human  Beast." This will help us not to be "deceived" the resurrection of the human Beast to be the   "BEAST!"  more terrible than Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung.  Knowing the BEAST will motivate us to "obey" God, to be "ready" for the  End of the World,  to  FLEE  in 2008 from all countries to God's  Place of Safety,  as Israel  from Egypt, and the Christians to Pella in Greece before the fall of Jerusalem and Israel in 70 AD.

It is the function of God's Two Witnesses to identify the Beast and its personalities.  If you read my newsletters you find that these Two Witnesses are at least three Prophets, just like the Biblical Beast  has three personalities.  Since the Christian churches are all   "deceived"  Rev.12:9 they are not warning us about God's Two Witnesses, or the coming of the Biblical    BEAST.   The churches by not warning their congregations,  are   SHUTTING  their members from protection Mat.23:13.  This will cause the  DEATH  of their members, and the population of the world, as in NOAH'S day, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy in Mat.24:37, unless their members  "come  out"   from them Rev.18:4.

You must know that Satan is not an "enemy" of our Creator, but his obedient servant. His created function is to  "steal"  from us, and to  "kill"  us and to  "destroy"  us if we don't obey our Creator Jn.10:10.  Satan is opposite of our Creator,  "having no truth in him"  Jn.8:44, while Jesus our Creator Eph.3:9  "is the truth"  Jn.14:6.  Christ holds up the  "good"  and  Satan the  "evil"  in God's system of   "good and evil"  Gen.2:9. This means that the Beast is also working for our Creator Eph.3:9 in spite that he is evil.  The   BEAST  like  SATAN   will appear  "good"  by deception, and Christ is going to help him.  We must understand that the whole world lives in a Babylonian system, and its "head" is the USA.  You must know that Babylon's new system is  tyranny, as communism was. You must prepare now for the   FALL  of our present system world wide!!  To make this change is the function of the spirit  Beast, to be ready for the human Beast's arrival, which in turn must prepare for the ultimate terrible BEAST'S arrival, the united spirit and human   BEAST!  

The Beast will arrive in three stages, and has three different personalities.  The  "spirit  Beast"  and its 200 million demons will arrive soon in   May  of   2006.   The combined angelic or demonic force of Satan and now the Beast's  will change the world, in  "five month"  Rev.9:10  that we will hardly recognize it.  The government leaders will be "tormented" and changed.  People will think that finally the corruption and the evil will be eliminated,  or at least reduced, by removing many leaders of today, and their oppressive banking system.  God's   Two  Witnesses   will come on the scene and   "hold  back"  these "plagues," and the evil of  the arrival of the spirit and human Beast,  which we can expect in the    fall  of  2008,   as I have shown. 

Who will be the human Beast?  

We know that the BEAST must fulfill Biblical prophecies, and aid God's  Second Witness  to build the Temple in Jerusalem Rev.11:3, that the   "SPIRIT and human BEAST"   could sit in the Temple of God, and by it commit the  "abomination."  This is when our Creator will leave the Temple, making the Temple  "desolate" Dan.9:27.  We find that   Cyrus   the king of the Persians was moved by God to build His Temple in Jerusalem by Ezra and Nehemiah with some of Israel Ezra.1:1-2.  The   "human Beast"  will be like  Cyrus  benevolent at first.  God will give him great power over the kings and nations of the earth, to help Jacob Isa.45:1-4, to build the Temple of God again, and to gain power over all the nations of the earth to "worship him" Rev.13:8. 

This human Beast,  like Cyrus will come from  "the east" Isa.41:2, and  "the north" V.25 (from the nation of Israel) against Babylon of today Isa.50:1-3, to make Babylon's   "land desolate"   V.3,  the land of  Israel - and the USA today.   We find Russia in the "north" and Iran in the "east"  the nation and man associated with the  "kings of the Medes" Isa.51:11 or Iran today.  Will Israel go into captivity today again, scattered among the nations, like the Babylonians and later the Romans did to them? Israel and the USA today  -  " turn  wise  men  backward,  and  makes  their  knowledge  foolish; That confirms (God's)  word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; that says to Jerusalem,  ‘You  SHALL  be  inhabited’;  and  to  the  cities  of   Judah,  ‘You  SHALL  be  built,’ and I will raise up the  decayed (destroyed) places  thereof”  Isa.44:25,26.  This has not taken place yet since 70 AD.  The scriptures will be fulfilled by the help of Iran and the human Beast!

The human Beast will be a "Gentile" who is the "little horn" Rev. 13 and 17, the man who later will emerge from  the 10 horns or 10 kings when the spirit / man BEAST will arrive.  Before that Israel will go into captivity and return and then God will turn their heart to Him Zech.12:10, and then they will build the Temple of God with God's Second Witness.

After this "five months" the  "human Beast" will come privately,  as God's  Two Witnesses  came privately.  Now the Second Witness will appear binging   PEACE  and to "hold back the evil" of the appearing of the the terrible  "resurrected  BEAST!"  New nations will rise to power, a new Babylon, Assyria / Germany,  Persia / Iran and Russia, Greece,  and ten (10) other nations and kingdoms like Egypt, Syria ... for the ten kings to rule with resurrected  Beast.  This time period as we see it now is "three and a half years" Rev.11:3.  

Then will come a new   WAR  when the  "resurrected Beast"   will imitate Christ's second coming.  This will be at the end of the "sixth seal" Rev.6:12.  Before this   WAR,  the "elect of God" will "FLEE" to God's place of safety Rev.12:6, as the church fled from Israel to Greece before Jerusalem fell in 70 AD. Very  "few"  people will  "flee."  Those who don't   "flee"  will be martyrs for Christ, unless they accept the BEAST'S  laws, religion and government.  The BEAST will kill God's Two Witnesses and Jerusalem will experience a huge earthquake, killing  7000.  In three days the Two Witnesses will be "resurrected" and people will see them ascend in a cloud to heaven.  The BEAST and his False Prophet Rev.13:11 will become "god's two witnesses" and perform great miracles, to fulfill Biblical prophecies, to "deceive" if it would  be possible even the "very elect" or God's First Witness. 

Peace and prosperity will reign until God's   "plagues"  start to affect life again.  Christ will use the ten kings to turn on the Best, and force him to leave Jerusalem.  The Beast will go to gather a huge army against the ten kings, and will come back to battle the ten kings in the valley of Armageddon.  This is when Christ will return with His angels and saints.  He and his angels will fight both armies and destroy them.  This is when the first "resurrection" will take place ICor.15:52, and some of the saints in God's Place of Safety will be resurrected without dying IThes.4:17.  Christ will land on the Mount of Olives splitting it in two, destroying Jerusalem and all the cities of the world.  This is the re-creation of the world as it was in Noah's day.  This is when the poles of the earth will shift, the mountains all will be made low, the oceans and the continents reformed, the earth will be put in a new orbit.  God will put a new spirit into us, that we could "obey" Christ, not like we do now.

Our Creator God, and even His Anti-god does not think as we do.  This is why the End of the World will not come as we expect it.  We can read the scriptures but we don't know how to apply them. This makes us blind and force us to look to the Anti-god what he is doing, blinding our minds even more to the truth and what really will take place.  This is why I say that to get in step with God, to be  AWARE   of   "His  ways"  and what He is doing, you must start  with   FASTING,  Study,  prayer and meditation of His words given to His Two Witnesses.  Your thoughts are not His thoughts Isa.55:8, so don't trust your natural thinking, for it will lead to   DEATH  Prov.14:12.

I pray that you pass this on to your relatives and friends, that they may have a chance to be protected by God, at the re-creation and the End of the World.
