IN ONE "HOUR"
THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD
WILL ARRIVE UPON THE
"WILD BEAST", THE
"FALSE PROPHET"
AND
"BABYLON THE GREAT".
HOW LONG IS THIS SYMBOLIC "HOUR"?
Concerning the
Judgement that will arrive upon "Babylon" described in
Revelation 18:2,10 and the authority of the "ten kings" of
Revelation 17:12-18 there are references to a symbolic "hour".
This "hour" is an eighty fourth part of the symbolic "three
and a half days" of Revelation 11:11 and the "forty-two
months" of Revelation 13:5. So this symbolic "hour"
is literally 15 days !
WHO ARE THE "TEN KINGS" RECEIVING
AUTHORITY FOR ONE "HOUR"?
(17:12).
The "ten
kings" symbolized by "ten horns" are the members of the
United Nations
given "one hour" of political authority as "kings"
over international issues of the world with the political regimes of the
"wild beast"
representing satan. "These have one thought",
and together with the "wild beast" "will battle with the Lamb",
but "the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and
faithful with him [will do so]."
(17:12 14).
The "Lamb" is The Christ Michael, the Firstborn Son of Almighty
God.
SATAN THE "DRAGON" HAS GIVEN HIS
AUTHORITY TO THE "WILD BEAST". (13:4).
The
"dragon" satan gives evil authority to Godless members of the political
"wild beast" to maintain its political institutions
and
rule with the same Godlessness as
its previous seven "heads". (17:7). The "wild beast"
are the parliaments of this world elected by the rebellious will of the
people.
"BABYLON THE GREAT" THE SECTARIAN "HARLOT".
"Babylon" the
"harlot" is the world empire of spiritistic sectarian religion.
Important is what it says of the "ten kings" and the "wild
beast": "For God has put it into their heads to carry out His purpose, by
making common cause and conferring their sovereignty upon the beast until all
that God has spoken is fulfilled." (See 17:16-18
NEB). "All that God has
spoken" are His denunciations and
Judgement upon "Babylon the
great" and her spiritistic sects
glorifying themselves and
living in shameless luxury. (18:7). "And the ten horns that you saw, and
the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and
naked, and will eat up
her fleshy parts and will completely
burn her with fire."
(17:16). Sectarian
religions adopt
twisted
applications of the Word of God to war against Almighty God.
They
will not only be
devastated by the "ten kings" and the "wild beast",
but their members will also be tormented by the Spirit "fire" of
the Judgement of God within them. In one "hour" this
Judgement
from God will arrive. (18:10). Members of the sectarian "harlot"
will only be 'carried'
by
the "wild beast" until the time appointed for
their devastation. (17:3-6).
WHEN WILL THE PURPOSE OF GOD BE ACCOMPLISHED?
In accordance with
the Holy Scriptures it will be accomplished when God has avenged upon the
"harlot" the blood of His servants. (18:24 & 19:2 NEB). The world
empire of sectarian religions falsely claiming to serve God will receive the
plagues of "death and mourning and famine"
during one symbolic "day" (one year) and will be completely burned
by the Spirit "fire" of the Lord's Judgement. (18:7,8).
THE THREE UNCLEAN INSPIRED EXPRESSIONS.
The demonic expressions
of (1) the
"dragon"
(2) the "wild beast" and
(3) the "false prophet"
are evil spirits that
"go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together
to the war of the great day of God the Almighty." (16:13,14). As the
Judgement of God falls upon "Babylon" during the first
"hour" (15 days), "the wild beast and the kings of the earth and
their armies" will gather to wage war
upon The Christ Michael and his
heavenly army. (19:13 &
19).
The "false prophet"
of sectarian aid agencies, the political "wild beast", and all
those with the "mark" of the "wild beast" will be
caught while misleading mankind and will be "hurled into the fiery lake
that burns with sulphur" (eternal torments). (19:20). The
"dragon" satan will be hurled into an abyss for a thousand years, and will later be hurled into eternal torments.
(20:1 3
& 7-10).
