On these pages we are learning that Jesus
Christ as the script writer for Isaiah 66 as well as the 4 Gospels and
Revelation has used Apocalyptic exaggeration as well as Parallelism to reveal to
a few but hide from the vast majority of Bible readers and would-be prophets
what his real agenda would be at the end of the Age of Pisces, just starting
when the Gospels and Revelation were being written.
The
stories would not have a popular ending, but as a student of both history and
human nature, he knew how the Age would indeed end. With the villains (the
Jews) becoming the heroes, and the supposed hero (the Roman Catholic Church)
shown to be a "wolf in sheep's clothing". But "Little
Red Riding Hood" must make it back to Grand-mother's house. So the
"Wolf" and her many pups must not know that.
Early Writings (page 15)
"Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave the day and
the hour (Aug. 6, 1945 at 8:16 AM) of Jesus' coming. The living saints
(Jews that survived the Jewish holocaust), 144,000 in number, knew and
understood the voice (deliverance from total annihilation), while the wicked
(including, sad to say -- Seventh-day Adventists) thought it was thunder and an
earthquake (symbolic of the Atomic Bomb)."
Jesus provided those who thought they would become the heroes in these Bible
stories with their own little scripts, which they played out quite faithfully,
not knowing that they were each playing bit parts. Because people in
general are not very bright or clever, at least in the area of Bible study and
interpretation. Except, of course for me and my readers of this web site!
Such
was the case with Hal Lindsay, who was scripted to play a major bit part in
researching and writing his world-famous and very popular book, "Late Great Planet Earth"
After
the events in Israel predicted in a very disguised form by the 4th
angel of Revelation 14, but
more clearly in Isaiah 66 had
transpired, Hal Lindsay and his fellow writers and Christian evangelists saw
these events as a game-changer, and rewrote old prophecies to make themselves
the heroes, not the Jews. This became the message of the 5th
angel of Revelation 14, the
first cock-crowing message of Mark 13:35. Which lasted for 40 years.
Until it was greatly diminished on September 11, 12, and 13 of 1988. But
is still popular as the "Left Behind" series of books and
movies.
A
series of Seventh-day Adventists, starting with Victor Houteff, who formed "Shepherd's
Rod", and thee "Davidians" caught on that Seventh-day
Adventists were not the one-and-only Israel, and moved from Southern California
(Adventist "heaven") to Waco, Texas ("earth"). His wife
moved his religious enterprise from a section of Waco named Mount Carmel to a
newer and smaller "Mount Carmel". Houteff was one of a
series of "Elijahs" to which I must append my own religious activities
of the 1980s and 1990s. On Houteff's death an ambitious couple took his
place, Ben and Lois Roden. Ben Roden saw the real Israel as the place he
should really be, and besides being "Elijah" he saw himself also as
"the Branch", so the "Davidians" became the "Branch
Davidians". After Ben Roden's death, his wife Lois allowed a new,
much younger "prophet" to take over the Mount Carmel
complex. Vernon Howell, aka "David Koresh". Typical
of other "British Israel" and "Patriot" groups of the late
1980s and 1990s, Koresh stashed firearms, trained his followers as a militia,
and prophesied a confrontation with the US government. A confrontation long
prophesied by Ellen White, augmented by his own fertile imagination and
radical ideas.
This confrontation indeed occurred in February 1993 and after a 51 day standoff,
on April 19, 1993, the Mount Carmel complex, surrounded by ATF and FBI
swat teams, burned to the ground killing
Koresh, along with 74 other people, including 21 children of which 17 were
Koresh's own children with various women at his compound.
Together
with other events that occurred during the period of 1992 - 1994, I am labeling
the fire at the Branch Davidian compound as part of the message of the 6th
angel of Revelation 14. (the
second cock- crowing message of Mark 13:35.)
Meanwhile, the original first 3
angels' messages of Revelation 14
are still being given, but not loudly, by Seventh-day Adventist preachers
and in some of their books, and Harold Camping, not a Seventh-day
Adventist, is making more "noise" on his billboards and with his
successful radio show.
No longer dragged into the sky by angels,
Camping's raptured saints will walk up cloudy stairs dressed in their Sunday
best.
All these modern scholars have failed to learn that the
Essenes wrote the Biblical prophecies they were using, and failed to learn the
Essene "VOCABULARY" we were able to show gave exaggerated apocylyptic meanings to
ordinary words. By knowing information about the ESSENES that recent scholars
have persisted in ignoring, (because
to accept this information would likely cost them their jobs and cause a major
crisis in various churches), I have
shown on these pages incredibly accurate prophecies that have been fulfilled
concerning Israel, and even concerning modern wars and weapons such as the
atomic bomb.
As we continue, on these pages it will become evident that Jesus
apparently knew about William Miller, Ellen White, my brother Leon Holt and his
wife Onycha at Smyrna (almost) SDA church and their pastor Alan Stump, Hal
Lindsay and his like-minded "failed prophets", myself with my
"Elijah Revival" of the 1980s, Houteff, the Rodens, and Koresh, and of
course that I am writing these pages, and why. And Yes, he knew what would
happen on 9-11-2001 a long, long time ago. The terribly disappointing
message of the 7th
angel of Revelation 18. We will
still use a
technique long used and relied on by these former scholars, the technique called
"PARALLELISM". And we will, of
course retain and use the knowledge we have gained about
the 144,000 (Essenes)

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another
angel (another message, another
heavenly messenger) fly in the midst of heaven,
(in this context, Qumran, the "heaven of the Essenes") having
the everlasting
gospel (Essene rules, doctrines,
and teachings, not Paul's adaptations of these rules, that eliminated most
of them, allowing Christians to be "saved" because Jesus had
kept these rules) to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud
voice, (a "loud voice" first
raised by William Miller, and later by Seventh-day Adventists) Fear God,
and give glory to him; for the hour
of his judgment is come: and worship
him that made heaven,
and earth,
and the sea,
and the fountains
of waters."(these here have
Astrological meanings -- 4 Ages) |
Revelation 14:8 "And there
followed another angel, (another message, another
heavenly messenger, now the second in a series of 7, six of which are in
this chapter, and the seventh in chapter 18) saying, Babylon
(in this case not literal Babylon in Iraq, but the Vatican in Rome) is
fallen,
is fallen,
(the repetition of "fallen" represents 2 "millennial
days", or 2000 years) that great
city, (the "great" expands the
meaning to everyone the Vatican has influence over, including
Protestantism) because she made all nations drink of the wine
((the Catholic Mass)tof
the wrath
("wrath of God", hell, purgatory) of her
fornication."(the Church's dogma,
invention) |

Revelation 14:9 "And the third
angel (third message in this series) followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the
beast
(here Roman Catholicism))and his image,(the
Protestant Churches who are likewise Trinitarian and keep Sunday as their
weekly holy rest day) and receive his
mark
(Sunday worship) in his forehead,
(believe it to be God's blessed "Holy Day" in place of Saturday
the 7th day of the week), or in his hand,
work on Saturday-- |
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb;
11 "And the
smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and
ever; and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his
image, and whosoever
recieveth the mark of his name. |

Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience
(remnant, what is left) of the saints
(the Essenes): here are they (the Essenes) that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith
of Jesus (Essenism)."

Revelation 13, in this context a "beast" that has exercised power for
almost 2000 years, the Roman Catholic church
commandments of God -- to
the Essenes represented more than the 10 commandments, but included
also dietary requirements and feast days in addition to the weekly
Seventh-day Sabbath
earth -- in the
series, "heaven, and earth, the sea, and the fountains of
waters", "earth" is the Age of Aries, from 2000
BC until the birth of Christ in 7 BC
ever and ever -- by
repetition, 2 millennial days, or an Age -- 2000 years
everlasting gospel --
Essene rules, doctrines,
and teachings, not Paul's adaptations of these rules, that eliminated most
of them, allowing Christians to be "saved" because Jesus had
kept these rules
faith of Jesus -- Essenism,
with all its requirements, Jesus, even while living in India, kept the
Sabbath day Sabbath and was an evangelist for Vegetarianism
fallen, is fallen -- by
repetition, represents 2 millennial days of the Essene Millennial Week
prophecy, identifying Roman Catholicism as the "Babylon"
referred to by the second angel of Revelation 14. No other religious
and political power reigned for almost 2000 years during the Age of
Pisces
forehead -- minds,
doctrines, beliefs (Jews wore phylacteries containing scripture on
their foreheads)
fountains of waters -- in
the series, "heaven, and earth, the sea, and the fountains of
waters", "fountains of waters" is the Age of
Aquarius, slated to begin in 2000 AD but instead begun in 1844 to
fulfill a promise to the Essenes in John 14:1-3. Begun for
the Jews in May of 1948. The "waters" seen as the "Holy
Spirit" who presents us with new ideas and messages not
necessarily sanctioned by organized religions

meaning to everyone the Vatican has influence over, including
Protestantism
heaven -- still
the Qumran monastery, "heaven" to the Essenes, secondarily,

"Remnant Church"
saints -- Essenes
and those who live like Essenes, practicing "good works" not
so-called "justification" by faith (without good works)

waters", "sea" is the Age of Pisces, from 7 BC
until the year 2000 or 2001. But shortened because of the Jewish
holocaust
tormented with fire and brimstone
-- the Catholic doctrines of hell and
purgatory spelled out in detail -- also a reference to homosexual and
pedophilic priests using Sodom as an example
wine -- the
Catholic Mass, "bread" is not added because it has so many
other meanings
wine of the wrath of God -- the
Catholic doctrines of hell and purgatory have been used to control the
ignorant and superstitious for 2000 years
NOTE that without
knowing how the Essenes distort word-meanings and how they lived and
what they believed the reader cannot really know that the Qumran
Essenes were the most dedicated and stringent Seventh-day
Sabbath-keepers of that Age. And that they were total
vegetarians. Such people can and will torment themselves and
others with all sorts of weird and unusual identifications of the
"mark of the beast" and the "image of the beast"
and see every new world leader as a potential "Antichrist"
intent on either severing their heads or throwing them into prison.

ISAIAH
66
shows, by comparing the
prophecy to history, that the "voice of noise from the city",
"a voice from the temple", "a voice of the Lord rendering
recompence to his enemies", is the atomic bomb exploded over
Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, at 8:16 AM.
and that the
"nation born at once", "in one day", as "Zion
travailed", and "brought forth her children" of verse
8 is the very old, but now "new" nation of Israel, declared on
May 14, 1948 and attacked by all her Arab neighbors the next day, May 15,
1948.
By using our technique of
PARALLISM both historical and Biblical, we find ourselves at the proper place in Matt. 24, Mark 13, and
Luke 21. And discover that the 4th Angel's message of Revelation 14 is
about the coming of Christ, as the "reaper of the summer harvest" to
Israel, first by the Atomic bomb "trumpet" in 1945, and later by the
UN mandate and announcement of May 14, 1948.

Revelation 14:13 "And
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labours; and
their works do follow them. 14 And I
looked, and behold a white
cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like
unto the Son of
man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a
sharp sickle. |
The word-picture is that
of Saturn, the 7th heavenly body seen by the Ancients, and the Roman God
of the Harvest.
Revelation 14:15 "And another
angel (the 4th angel) came
out of the temple,
crying with a loud
voice
to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle
and reap:
for the time
is come for thee to reap; for
the harvest
of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the
earth
was reaped."

|
Vocabulary for Rev. 14:13-16
another angel -- 4th angel
of Revelation 14
earth was reaped -- of
grain, of people, of Jews
golden crown -- Jesus as
King of kings, and judge
harvest of the earth -- shows
the word picture to represent Saturn, the Roman god of the harvest
loud voice -- in this case
the atomic bomb, by parallelism with Isaiah 66:6 and history, the day and the
hour is August 6, 1945 at 8:16 AM
reap -- accept as an
offering, kill, store in groups
sharp sickle -- the badge
or icon of the "reaper"
Son of man -- by frequent
usage, Jesus Christ
temple -- the temple of the
Creator God, the heavens, the temple described in Isaiah 66:1-3, indicating it
is time for another Zodiac Age to begin
time is come -- as above,
it is time for another Zodiac Age to begin
the dead -- the Jewish dead
of the holocaust before 1945, they "died in the Lord" not as believers
in Jesus Christ as "Lord" but either as believers in Yahweh as Lord,
or "because" of Jesus, labeled as "Christ killers" by the
Nazis
they may rest -- "rest" here
indicates the Sabbath, which both labels the dead as Jews, and indicates the
beginning of the Sabbath (7th) millennium
their works -- Jews believe
in good works, NOT in "justification by faith"
white cloud -- in this case
the white cloud produced by the detonation of the atomic bomb
SUMMARY:
Here I have used both ESSENE-SPEAK and historical and Biblical PARALLELISM to
show that the 4th angel of Revelation 14 is describing the same events in Israel
as Isaiah 66, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and surprisingly Ellen G. White's
visions. Jesus has cleverly hidden this angel's identity and purpose by using
pagan and Jewish symbolism to describe him. Not a generic
"Christian" angel like the first three angels.

angel
(the 5th angel) came out of the temple
which is in heaven (indicating time, 40 years after 1948, or 1988), he

that Noe

ark, and the flood

them all away."
Luke 17:28 "Likewise also it was in the days
of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they
bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same
day that Lot went out of Sodom
it rained
fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all."

Vocabulary for Rev. 14:17, Matt. 24:40,41 and
Luke 17:26-29
another angel -- 5th angel
of Revelation 14, and the first cock-crowing message of Mark 13:35
coming of the Son of man -- allows
for the meaning given it by the Secret Rapture preachers, but the Essenes allow
more latitude, the "Son of man" of the Age of Aquarius is the
constellation Aquarius itself, a vast group of distant suns, not a
"man", or "god-man".
Second meaning, "The Age of Aquarius began
in 1988."
days of Lot -- in an almost
parallel series in Luke 17, the days of Lot are cited, primarily meant to be
contrasted with the days of Noah, but suggestive to writers like Hal Lindsay of
conditions during the "Rapture" and ensuing "Tribulation
days of Noe (Noah) -- by
paralellism, clearly the intent of Jesus here, to promote a sudden and
unexpected "Rapture". However, a closer look at the original
story shows Noah preached this 120 years (hardly sudden or unexpected) and even
those in the ark had 7 days advance warning
destroyed them all -- taken
literally by such writers, all those not taken up in the "Rapture",
not just those in Sodom
drank -- implies excessive
drinking of alcoholic beverages, to which we should now append, by parallelism
and general principles, drug usage with all its connected evils
eat -- implies excessive
eating, gluttony, and obesity, -- obvious now in the US, while much of the world
is starving, and US processed food companies are accused of exporting obesity to
the Third World countries
left -- one "taken
up" in the Rapture, one left in the field working, having not been
"saved"
Lot's wife -- in the Bible
story "turned to a salt pillar", in the original Sumerian,
"vaporized", -- using the last meaning, indicates Hiroshima and the
threat of nuclear annihilation
married wives -- contrasts
with Luke's description of the days of Lot, where these two phrases,
"married wives, and were given in marriage" are omitted -- in Matthew
the impression is given of over-population, -- in Luke's version, of an increase
in homosexuality -- both true in that later 20th century
rained fire and brimstone -- taken
literally by those expecting Jesus to punish non-believers in the Gospel at his
Second Coming
same day -- the
"Rapture" to occur during one 24 hour day, as the earth turns, not
during an extended period of weeks or months
sharp sickle -- the badge
or icon of the "reaper"
Sodom -- where homosexuals
live, allowing those Christians with various other sins and bad habits to make
homosexuality the one unforgivable sin
taken -- taken up by the
Rapture, actually in common usage "taken" by a heart attack, accident,
or lightning strike or other natural disaster
took them all away -- an
alternative reading of "destroyed them all" but stated in such a way
that those who wish to preach a "Secret Rapture" can envision millions
of people disappearing simultaneously, not because they're dead, but with Jesus
in the clouds
two (men) -- used as an
example of other events all occurring simultaneously
two men in one bed -- in
the Lot and Sodom context, male homosexuals, -- does not prove, however,
what homophobics wish to prove. If by parallelism we teach a Secret
Rapture, then the homosexual "taken" was "saved" and the
homosexual "left" was lost, temporarily at least
two women -- used as an
example of other events all occurring simultaneously
temple -- the temple of the
Creator God, the heavens, the temple described in Isaiah 66:1-3, indicating it
is time for another Zodiac Age to begin, in this case altered by the "this
generation" prediction made by Jesus in Matthew 24:34, thus: 40 years after
1948
SUMMARY:
Here we see how it is possible to cobble together cafeteria-style some Biblical
support for a "Secret Rapture" to occur 40 years after Israel became a
nation. But the Revelation 14:17 description of the 5th angel does
not really describe the angel doing anything at all. The angel blows no
trumpet, and gives no message. He holds up a sickle but doesn't use
it. A precise description of what actually happened in 1988. NOTHING of
prophetic importance!
