Bible Prophecy

1. DECODING THE MYSTERY IN DANIEL'S 4-BEAST VISION BY WINSTON KAYANAN FROM THE PHILIPPINES

Read this for your information as God's answer to the world. It is very important because it speaks of the present times and what will happen in the nearby future (i.e., the fall of the United Nations). The interpretation of Daniel's 4-beast vision by the Catholic Church (i.e., wars in the Middle East before Christ) and USA's 1999 version (i.e., wars in Europe after Christ) are empirical studies which are invalid since the scripture says that the prophecy will be revealed at the appointed time (i.e., when the time comes), meaning God's revelation must come first & be proclaimed by someone (than be studied & explained by scientists, bible scholars & experts) and hence, the versions of the Catholic Church & USA are purely guesses, being also incomplete. The author Winston Kayanan has been disseminating this interpretation since 2006 to some 30 foreign countries (thru their embassies here in the Philippines) and subsequently disseminated to the world via the net since May 2009. The author stands by his accurate & perfect interpretation of Daniel's vision.

A description of the allegories in Daniel's vision that was written in the Old Testament of the Bible is now completely revealed to the public. It was given to the author Winston Kayanan from the Philippines by God from June 25 to 29, 2004 after waiting for nothing (i.e., a response or reaction) from UNEP regarding the former's proposal on his invented bio-technology via personal letters (delivered in December 2002 & January 2003) and e-mail letter (sent in April 2004). No reply came from the organization. Nonetheless the author was so elated on this revelation which encouraged him to further continue & push the work which he started in the environment since 2001 (i.e., saving man & saving earth with the objective of O2 regeneration via photosynthesis in rehabilitating wastelands, infertile lands, barren lands & so forth over carbon emission reduction).

In totality, this revelation is compatible to the author's technology (i.e., touching on agriculture, health & meteorology) in tandem with this interpretation (driving likewise on agriculture, health & meteorology), defeating the versions of the Catholic Church and USA (1999). Whatever one thinks, it all boils down that the interpretation of the vision is accurate, true & real that is really intended for the United Nations. All codes (verses 7:1 to 28) were unraveled in just 2 minutes on June 28, 2004 & were sent to the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines on June 29, 2004 by mail. The following were decoded, to wit:

1. First Paragraph of Dream ("the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea") is the subject matter of Daniel's vision, describing earth's abnormal (wild) behavior - considered as the effects of global warming & climate change in the environment such as strong winds, heat waves, deadly cyclones & typhoons, taller waves, tsunamis, and many others.

2. First Beast ("The Lion') is The International Court of Justice. Per Webster dictionary, the lion is the symbol of dignity & dominance and hence, the court matches with its animal definition or dscription.

3. "The beast was lifted up & made to stand like a man" means that this court is the highest which interprets the international law.

4. Second Beast ("The Bear") is The Security Council. Per Webster dictionary, the bear is defined as that shows ruggedness, irascibility, coarse, uncouthness & shambling burliness and hence, this definition matches with the behavior of said council.

5. "It was holding 3 ribs between its teeth" which symbolize the 3 functions of the Security Council, to wit:

a) To investigate disputes bet. Nations which may threaten world peace;

b) To recommend ways & means of setting international disputes peacefully; and,

c) To undertake diplomatic, economic or military action against any country which disturb world peace & security and refuses to obey the decision of the council.

6. Third Beast ("The Leopard") is the Trusteeship Council. Per Webster dictionary, the leopard often lies in ambush for its prey that consists of most animals small or weak enough for it to overcome and hence, this definition talks about imperialism of powerful countries, matching this council.

7. "On its back, there were 4 wings, like the wings of a bird & it had 4 heads." The 4 wings & 4 heads represent the 4 trust territorial administrators namely: Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and USA, out of 9 members in the council in which 5 members are non-controlling countries..

8. The Fourth Beast ("fearful & extraordinary strong, not like the others") is no other than the Economic & Social Council (process of elimination in 2004 before another council (the 5th) was established in 2006).

9. "With bronze claws & iron teeth" pertains to the 4th council's administration & control, handling non-political matters like economic, social, cultural, educational and health problems affecting the peoples of the world.

10. "It ate, tore into pieces and crushed underfoot whatever remained" and "It shall devour earth, crush it and destroy it" would mean that the 4th council has caused global crises on earth, covering food, energy, financial, health, environment, etc.

11. "It had 10 horns with 10 kings who will rule the empire." This line is attributed to the first 10 specialized agencies established by the United Nations in the 40"s which are:

a) FAO (1945)

b) WB (1945)

c) ILO (1946)

d) UNESCO (1946)

e) UNICEF (1946)

f) ICAO (1947)

g) IMF (1947)

h) ITU (1947)

i) WHO (1948)

j) UPU (1948)

12. "Another horn came after" pertains to the United Nations Environment Programme. UNEP failed to identify the cause of environmental woes. It created Kyoto Protocol in which its treaty was based on false science. Instead of O2 reproduction, regeneration or replenishment per author's proposition & recommendation, UNEP ignored this & continued its carbon emission reduction. As a consequence, the later added flames to the fire which include composting (unknowingly releases CO2 every second thru decay), alternative energy (such as biomass, also releases CO2 when burned), sanitary landfill (poisons the soil, similarly adding desertification of lands), etc. UNEP also peddled emission testing equipment, installation of tsunami warning devices, etc., all of which are hardware that do not attack the real problem (global warming). It recognized smaller inventions, given with awards such as bioreactors (unknowingly releasing 70% of CO2 too) and ignored the author's Philippine technology (geared towards photosynthesis & chemosynthesis) that could & would address environmental woes broadly & effectively far better than combined Kyoto Protocol Treaty, Copenhagen Deal, world programs & other technological inventions.

13. "This king (small horn) shall insult the Most High and persecute the holy ones of the Most High" means that many or most people in the world were brainwashed, making people as suckers, a grand deceit for that matter. As a result, It has caused many injuries & deaths.

14. "It had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that uttered insolent words" would mean the eyes of the storm, coming by twin or series of cyclones (like Hurricane Katrina, etc.) and the mouth as earthquakes (like Iran's quake, Indonesia's tsunami, Haiti's quake, etc.), landslides, volcanic eruptions, soil cracks, deep holes, etc.

15. "That horn made 3 horns fall & will overthrow 3 kings" means UNEP has affected its 3 co-agencies: FAO (in agriculture), WHO (in health), and WMO (in meteorology) as explained hereunder:

a) It is FAO because of huge desertification of fertile & arable lands (recorded at 60% as of 2005 but still increasing), creating physiological imbalances to organic matter cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle and water cycle as well as creating economical damages on man & earth such as food shortages, famine, unemployment, poverty, crime, etc.

b) It is WHO because of emergence of deadly pathogens & uncontrollable spread of diseases, causing all sorts of illnesses & deaths via epidemic to pandemic.

c) It is WMO because of the continued intensification of global warming: mostly carbon emitted from perishable solid wastes and soil's organic matter ((done by the dominance & proliferation of decay microorganisms) and carbon from continued lost of crops & trees (by droughts, floods, forest fires), far more than carbon from transportation & industries. All of these have resultantly created climate change like deadly storms, tornadoes & hurricanes, torrential rains, taller waves & violent seas, tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, air & sea transport mishaps, new microbe strains, etc..

16. "One of Great Age" is naturally God who will appoint Jesus Christ as King to rule earth & mankind.

17. "The tribunal" is the jury that holds the Book of Life for the living and the dead which will be rendered summary judgment.

18. "This animal was killed before my eyes" would mean the downfall of the 4th beast, i.e., ECOSOC.

19. "Dominion was taken from the other animals, though they were allowed to stay alive for a time, until the fixed time" would mean that the 3 original councils: the International Court, the Security Council and the Trusteeship Council will lose their control & power until its business will close and hence, their existence will eventually cease.

20. "Son of Man" is no other than Jesus Christ who will be appointed to execute God's command in the Coming of the Son of Man (aka Triumph of the Word of God or Rider on the Horse).

21. "Dominion, honor and kingship were given him and nations of every language served him" and "His dominion is eternal and shall never pass away, his kingdom will never be destroyed" pertain to the second coming of Jesus Christ who will execute God's will in destroying wickedness & evil and will subsequently reign thru peoples' hearts with chosen (priestly) leaders.

22. "This horn wage war against the holy ones and was subduing them" pertains to the continued persecution of people by UNEP's original theory as the wrong objective, i.e., the ineffective carbon emission reduction, as its major scientific blunder (i.e., based on false science) in addressing global warming that has been creating climate change & causing natural disasters.

23. "Change feasts & the laws" means UN and its scientists ignored the basic natural sciences (as in biology, chemistry & physics) which God had given as well as the reorganization of the United Nations with the establishment of human rights in 2006.

24. "The holy ones shall be handed over to his power (small horn) for a time, two times and half a time" would mean that world will further experience natural disasters from continued global warming & climate change for 3 ½ years more under the power of the UNEP.

25. "But judgment will come . . . , he (small horn) shall be destroyed and utterly wiped out" means that UNEP (its mission now being handled by UNFCCC) will be put down, silenced & eventually be terminated.

26. "The kingship, dominion and leadership of all the kingdoms of the world shall be given to the people of the holy ones of God Most High" would mean that, with the fall of the United Nations, God will install His chosen people to manage the organization and people shall prevail as primordial concern in Daniel's 4-beast vision.

ATTACHMENT TO DANIEL'S 4-BEAST VISION (CHAPTER 12)

The vision in Chapter 7 does not stop there for God made it a puzzle so that no one can decipher its real meaning since many historians, theologians, philosophers and Bible scholars & experts had attempted to decode but ended up clueless until a story was invented (or fabricated) in the ancient times. The original story was the first version which dated back from the early centuries (i.e., wars in the Middle East in the 2nd century before Christ), written by an unknown author. The invented story was consequently adopted by Jehovah Witness & subsequently taken by the Catholic Church). And lastly, a second story was made by USA which sprung in 1999 (wars in Europe in the 19th century after Christ) as the world's second version.

The Philippine version (dubbed as the world's 3rd interpretation) was done in only 2 minutes on June 28, 2004 after God made the author read the Bible, specifically Chapter 7, for 3 times in 3 consecutive nights from June 25 to 27, 2004. Like any one else, the author cannot understand it until, on the 4th day, God gave the description of the codes instantly which made him supply a copy by mail to the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines for their information on June 29, 2004.

The author however could not complete the story. He knew that the vision pertains to the environment on global warming & climate change since he invented a powerful technology for the environment 3 years before the vision came up wherein its 3 functions are similar or identical to the failed duties of the 3 fallen kings.

The missing parts in the author Winston Kayanan's Philippine version of Daniel's 4-beast vision as of June 2004 were the change of feast, the abominable idol, the devastator and the beginning date of the 3 ½ years that could not be answered. And so the vision jumps in Chapter 12 as the continuing episode (see attachment) for God gradually supplied the author with additional revelations (i.e., on installment basis) for the codes to be further interpreted. In April 2009, God flashed the date of May 17, 2006 in the author's mind. Sensing this as a message from God, the author restudied again the missing parts & reviewed the events which transpired in the past. It appeared that the major event in 2006 was the establishment of the Human Rights Council in UN. Searching in the internet about UN's Human Rights Council, it revealed information that served as conclusions to all the missing parts in the author's interpretation. God's flashed date of May 17, 2006 matched with the date when the members of the Human Rights were finally installed (i.e., elected). This made the author's proclamation to some 30 countries via embassies (beginning September 2006) as nearly close to perfection. Everything were done in good faith (not a hoax). Following lines which came from Chapter 12, are the interpretations or descriptions of the coded scriptures, to wit:

1. "It shall be a time of anguish as never before since the nations first existed until this very day" would mean that the world & people will experience the anger & wrath of God on the wickedness of men (i.e., judgment day), similar to Noah's time (destruction of men) in Genesis.

2. "Names written in the Book" are people who will be saved, then purified, cleansed and proved.

3. "Region of the Dust" is the world of the afterlife, some will be resurrected to eternal life and some will go to hell in horror & shame. Those given eternal life will be rewarded.

4. "From the time of perpetual sacrifice is suppressed" is reckoned on December 2, 2002 which was the very day when the author Winston Kayanan made his first proposal to the United Nations regarding the Philippine technology against global warming & climate change. This was the beginning of God's intervention on UN to ponder its position as well as to comply its charter if it will be in consonance with their oath & commitment to God for the welfare of the people (i.e., "make life better & freer") and with mankind's contract with God through Noah (i.e., "be fruitful & increase, abound on the earth & be master of it"). December 2, 2009 was the 7th anniversary of the author's first proposal.

5. "The Abominable Idol of the devastator is installed" is referred to as the Human Rights Council (the 5th council) that was established in 2006, composed of member nations of questionable leadership (described as the devastator). Please take note that Daniel's vision in the Bible was decoded in 2004, originally comprising of 4 beasts. Since there are now 5 councils, with the Human Rights Council (or 5th council) created in 2006, God through Daniel distinctly delineated the 4-beast as originals from the last added council. The purpose could be that no one can decipher the vision except only the person as chosen to receive & testify the truth (at the time of its revelation). The HRC members were opposed by USA since their governments were considered as human rights violators & abusers. Its first election failed in March 2006 due to election protest of USA and the second round of election was held on May 17, 2006, successfully done despite the disappointment of USA.

6. "1,290 days" refer to the 3 ½ year grace period set by God which commenced on May 17, 2006, the second day of election for the members of the Human Rights Council (when the Abominable Idol of devastators was installed). This is the second half of God's 7-year period, allotted for the author to proclaim His Word (re: Daniel's 4-beast vision) after completing the first half, used for the promotion of the author's Philippine technology. In a total of 7 years, God did not provide financial support for the public announcement of the author's technology & the proclamation of the vision since it would be easy to have these publish in the newspapers and to air these on TV & radio networks. In other words, God does not want His word to be commercialized. There was a gestation period (i.e., a divine plan) for God gave time for the author to work at it step by step in its pronouncement to test governments & people in their ability to recognize, know & acknowledge Him because the author will indeed encounter people who will ignore, reject or oppose this interpretation (comprising of atheists, agnostics, cynics & skeptics).

7. "1,335 days" began likewise on May 17, 2006. If deducted with the 1,290 days, it will yield an excess period of 45 days. This 45-day excess is interpreted as the judgment period in destroying wickedness of men on earth. Per interpretation of the gospels written by Luke, Mark & Matthew, about 50% of world's population will perish. In Noah, the flood lasted for 40 days and stayed for 150 days.

8. "The appointed time of the end" was estimated (or calculated) to be on November 28, 2009 (the end of 1,290 days grace period) and January 10, 2010 (the end of 1,335 days or the excess 45-day judgment period). This did not happen and so it is but natural that people will consider the interpretation as a hoax. However, God extended the time. He delayed His judgment on the United Nations and added judgment on mankind for the author despite facing greater trials of restraint, must also inform people as their test of faith. However, some or most people are not very receptive, specifically portrayed by world rulers & leaders to the proclamation (probably because of the growing atheism, lack of concern for religion or any other reasons). People never knew that the outcome of the 'appointed time of the end' will be the Coming of the Son of Man (per Luke, Mark, Matthew as well as John, James, Paul & Peter), better known as the Triumph of the Word of God or the Rider of the Horse (see Revelation).

9. "Only the learned will understand" comprised of people who walk in the light & in obeying the gospels and who know both the Father (the Almighty God) & the Son (Jesus Christ) in spite of already being proclaimed by the author (i.e., the meaning of Daniel's vision).

10. "The outcome of these things" was unfortunately withheld. Daniel was not able to obtain explanation since this was kept secret until the appointed time of the end comes.

ADDENDUM TO DANIEL'S VISION (PREDICTIONS)

What is the outcome of things per Daniel's query? Unfortunately, the author was not able to interpret this in June 2004 but God sent a message two years later (in May 2006). The outcome is found in Revelation's Verses 19:11 to 21 the Triumph of the Word of God (or the Rider on the Horse) and verses 20:1 to 10 the Thousand Years. USA's NASA-GISS was the first to be notified of these messages, sent by the author on his 15th e-mail to them dated May 25, 2006 after 14 messages of promotion & proclamation.

God knew that the world is hopeless if the people continued to be misdirected & deceived by UN's faulty administration of people & earth's affairs particularly with its invalid (pending) treaty, Kyoto Protocol. Whether the treaty (which was changed to Copenhagen Deal) is installed or not, earth will still head towards its own self destruction. And that will be too late, nearly at the point of no return. Perpetual sacrifice or mass killing of people by way of natural disasters will continue unless the author (with authority to uproot, to destroy & to overthrow, and, to build & to plant like Jeremiah verses 1:1 to 19) must put in place God's answer to rebuild & repair earth in order to stop the unending manslaughter & wreaking of havoc on earth. But since most were totally deceived, pledging unconditional support to the treaty, authorities could not anymore be persuaded because they are already too stubborn & hardheaded, refusing to listen to the solution being offered by the author despite continuously being informed & warned. In this vein, God's wrath is at hand because people do not know His ways and therefore, He will make His word triumph in the end. He will not only eliminate wicked people but will also include others (with 50% of world population going to perish).

Jesus Christ will come on a white horse with an army from heaven, and then will wage war on nations against the wickedness of men. His angel will call the birds of the air (big or small) to eat the flesh of kings (world leaders & rulers), of generals & soldiers (men in uniform) including people of any social class will be killed (Triumph of the Word of God Rev. 19: 11-21). Judgment period will be 45 days. IPCC (identified as the beast) together with world leaders & rulers will try to fight, prevent and stop the large-scale mass killings. But IPCC will be caught together with Al Gore (identified as the false prophet who widely taught his beliefs, not knowing that his teachings contradicted God-given nature's laws) for they both served UN & performed signs (referring to their false scientific studies & the blasphemous Inconvenient Truth which are disorienting people away from nature's laws) to those who received the mark of the beast (identified as the members of the UN who pledged & supported the treaty). Thereafter, the remnants on earth will receive renewed life after rebuilding earth and will live happily in the forthcoming thousand years of peace (Rev. 20).

In the thousand years, a new beginning will rise as earth & its environment will be rejuvenated using the Philippine technology. Cooperation & peace among men will ensue. There will be no more great natural disasters. Evil including wars & terrorism will totally be wiped out as the prince of darkness will be jailed. The dead who refused to worship the beast or receive its mark will return to life and live through the reign of Jesus Christ.

According to the Bible, since no-one knows it can be whatever date you like.

Matthew 24

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 25

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

I'm a Christian and it's 10th May 2013, so obviously it didn't!

More information:

Ezekiel 13... There is no such thing as a Rapture its quite impossible given what is written in prophecy and end time events. Paul states in 1st Corinthians 15 that the trumpet shall sound flesh shall be instantly eliminated ... In a moment in the twinkling of an eye.

No man knows the instant but the wise know the season for it is written:

The Generation of the fig (Matthew 24, Mark 13) ... Refers to the prophecy of Jeremiah 24 which occurred in 1948

Generational times are given in Psalms 90 and Genesis 6 (70 or 80 or 120)

You are in the final generation and have been since 1948, The red letter dates to that generation are therefore 2018, 2028 and 2068. (again its provided for you just read it)

Christ gives you all of the events which will take place during that final generation in:

Matthew 24

Mark 13

Luke 21

and the book of Revelation

Daniel defines the events which lead up to and during that final generation 8,11, and 7 in that order. The match exactly with the book of Revelation.

So there won't be a rapture (really) , but the Anti-Christ will no doubt be proclaiming one (since after-all it was his idea).

Question Will the Rapture happen on May 21 2011

Answer

Since the Question was originally "Will the Rapture happen on May 21 2011?" and it is now 2015 as I write this, obviously the Rapture has not occurred,

. I believe the Rapture will occur simply because God said it would: it just hasn't happened yet.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 GNB [Good News Bible] (v.13) Our friends, we want you to know the truth about those who have died, so that you will not

be sad, as are those who have no hope. (v.14) We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will take back with Jesus those

who have died believing in him. (v.15) What we are teaching you now is the Lord's teaching: we who are alive on the day the Lord comes will not go

ahead of those who have died. (v.16) There will be the shout of command, the archangel's voice, the sound of God's trumpet, and the Lord himself

will come down from heaven. Those who have died believing in Christ will rise to life first; (v.17) then we who are living at that time will be gathered

up along with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. (v.18) So then, encourage one another with

these words.

Two individuals have also been raptured in the past:

(1) Enoch

Genesis 5:24 GNB He spent his life in fellowship with God, and then he disappeared, because God took him away.

(2) Elijah

2 Kings 2:11 GNB They kept talking as they walked on; then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up to

heaven by a whirlwind.

In the Old Testament Isaiah prophesied of a time when standards and behavioral attitudes would be reversed, and Jesus said in the end-times many people would be deceived:-

Isa 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Mat 24:1-5, 13-14 KJV [v. 1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [v. 2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [v. 3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [v. 4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [v. 5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [v. 13] But he that shall endure unto the end,the same shall be saved. [v. 14] Andthis gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

This Gospel of Jesus Christ is being preached worldwide, there is widespread and rampant deceit, deception, and 'political-correctness', and the end is correspondingly really close.

The Bible doesn't specify it as occurring in the "end times"... but as being an ongoing thing among His people; who should know better... and as a prevailing attitude in the world. And it's not worded as "right and wrong," as much as "good and evil."

"Destruction is certain for those who say that EVIL IS GOOD and GOOD IS EVIL, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter." (Isa.5:20 NLT New Living Translation)

"Listen, you leaders of Israel! You are supposed to know RIGHT FROM WRONG, but you are the very ones who HATE GOOD and LOVE EVIL. You skin My people alive and tear the flesh off their bones ." (Micah 3:1-2 NLT)

Of course, the "Day of Destruction," while it has seemingly followed God's scattered people throughout their rebellious history, is also the description of the time of the end and the Day of the LORD.

"The Day of the LORD is on the way, the Day when DESTRUCTION comes from the Almighty. How terrible that Day will be!" (Joel 1:15 NLT)

"Scream in terror, for the LORD's time has arrived - the time for the Almighty to DESTROY." (Isa.13:6 NLT)

But, no... from the time Eve was introduced to the "Serpent" in the Garden of Eden, and she and Adam rejected God's Commandments [the law that defines sin; see I John 3:4... and tells man in no uncertain terms what is good and what is evil]: the Serpent [the great Dragon, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan..." - Rev.12:9] set mankind's easily-deceived heart and mind on the destructive path of "calling good evil, and evil good."

"God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like God, knowing everything, both GOOD AND EVIL." (Gen.3:5 NLT)

Mankind was deceived by this world's god from the beginning regarding what's good and evil... because he convinced man NOT TO BELIEVE WHAT GOD TELLS HIM THEY ARE in His Commandments. Mankind has been "deciding for himself" what is evil and what is good.

And man has decided [thanks to the influence of his chosen god in the beginning] that what God calls good is evil... and what God calls evil is good. THIS IS NOTHING NEW! This wicked, deceptive train of thought has not been limited to the time of the end... but throughout the history of the world.

IT'S CALLED SIN! Disobedience to God's Law. Rebellion. Lawlessness. Unrighteousness. Faithlessness. Unbelief.

And its role in modern man's twisting of God's Word and wrong, ill-advised decision-making is certainly playing a decided role in the coming DESTRUCTION that will occur as the last days of man's allotted time runs out, and God's plan of Salvation comes to its conclusion.

"For that will be a time of Greater Horror than anything the world has ever seen or will ever see again. In fact, unless that time of Calamity is shortened, the entire human race will be DESTROYED. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones." (Matt.24:21-22 NLT)

"...the Day of the LORD comes like a thief in the night. While they are saying, 'Peace and Safety!' then in a moment DESTRUCTION falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none." (I Thess.5:2-3 WEY Weymouth's New Testament)

Good being taught as evil, and evil being taught as good is not a new thing in this world. It's this ongoing convoluted teaching since the beginning... and the acquired world-ending capabilities of man's modern technology, that's bringing about the "Greater Horror" and DESTRUCTION Jesus warns us of in His Word.

In studying this subject, many confuse the verses dealing with the consequences of believers who suffer loss of rewards at the Bema Seat of Christ (Judgment Seat of Christ) with punishment levels in Hell for UN-believers. (See Romans 14.10-12; 2Corinthians 5.10)

However, the following passages and others like them, when considered in context, do seem to imply a distinct contrast and differing degrees of awareness for the damned.

• Moses warned of God: "For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
• Solomon wrote: "If thou sayest, 'We knew not this,' doth not he that weigheth the heart consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?" (Proverbs 24:12).
• Yeshua declared: "Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, it shall be moretolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee (Matthew 11:21-24)
• "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of Hell you are." (Matthew 23.15)

Hell is wholly understood by many

Mainly because people attempt to fit everything into one earth iteration when the word of our Father clearly states there will be 3 earth iterations (2nd Peter 3), and we are now in the 2nd, the word and condition called hell is misunderstood.

Hell is not a place that exists eternally, its a temporary condition only existing until after the 2nd Judgment occurs (that's right there are two judgments - Revelation 20), and the 3rd Earth iteration comes into existence (Revelation 21). Christ himself refers to hell, relating it to the burn pits outside Jerusalem (valley of Hinnom, Gehenna) .

Once this earth iteration ends all of its elements are burned up (no longer required)

Once the second judgment occurs all souls found not worthy according to their works go into the lake of fire

Hell is that place that souls reside in before the end of this 2nd earth iteration occurs. There is an excellent explanation given in the book of Luke 16, there are additionally many good experiences by those who have resurrected (often called NDE) who have described the events of Luke 16 in great detail, via their live experience of it (Ian McCormack and Howard Storm for starters)

There will be no need for Hell after the second judgment, as all the evil has been collected up, tested by the touch stone, and eliminated.

John's Gospel is now known to have been loosely based on Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark, but the author was more willing to change the wording and even the storyline of his sources. Thus, when placed alongside the others and read synoptically, there is no immediately apparent dependency.

The Antichrist.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

The "Apocalypse" is Jesus Christ's "Revelation" [Rev.1:1]. Therefore, it's He, ONLY, who can interpret what the "seven seals on the scroll mean" -- not John or any other man:

"...I wept much, because NO MAN WAS FOUND WORTHY TO OPEN AND READ THE BOOK, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders [whom John saw in this vision of his visit to the 'third heaven' - Rev.4:1-2] saith unto me, 'Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David [Jesus Christ], hath prevailed TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF.'" (Rev.5:4-5)

"And He came and took the Book... and they sung a new song, saying, 'THOU ART WORTHY TO TAKE THE BOOK [scroll], and TO OPEN THE SEALS THEREOF..." (verses 7-9).

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see. And I saw, and behold A WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had a BOW; and a CROWN was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."

Many folks misinterpret this rider as "Christ" Himself... but Jesus Christ [who also rides a "white horse"] has MANY CROWNS [not one]... and His weapon of choice is A TWO-EDGED SWORD [the Word Powerful Word of God that He wields from His mouth -- Heb.,4:12 & Rev.19:12-15]... not a BOW.

The "Lion of the tribe of Judah" [Jesus Christ] doesn't interpret the meaning of these seals in the "parable" that is the book of Revelation.

Jesus always spoke parables so that THE GENERAL PUBLIC WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND what He was saying:

Jesus said to those listening to His parables: "'Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!' His disciples came and asked Him, 'WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TELL STORIES [parables] WHEN YOU TALK TO THE PEOPLE?'" (Matt.13:9-10 NLT New Living Translation)

"Then He explained to them, 'YOU HAVE BEEN PERMITTED TO UNDERSTAND THE SECRETS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but OTHERS HAVE NOT. To those who are OPENED TO MY TEACHING, MORE UNDERSTANDING WILL BE GIVEN, and they will HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF KNOWLEDGE. But to those who ARE NOT LISTENING, even what they have will be taken away from them. THAT IS WHY I TELL THESE STORIES [parables], people SEE WHAT I DO, but THEY DON'T REALLY SEE. They HEAR WHAT I SAY, but THEY DON'T REALLY HEAR, and THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. This fulfills the prophesy of Isaiah, which says:

''You will hear My Words, but you will not understand;

you will see what I do, but YOU WILL NOT PERCEIVE ITS MEANING.

For the hearts of these people are hardened, and THEIR EARS CANNOT HEAR,

and they have CLOSED THEIR EYES - so THEIR EYES CANNOT SEE,

and THEIR EARS CANNOT HEAR,

and THEIR HEARTS CANNOT UNDERSTAND,

and they CANNOT TURN TO ME and LET ME HEAL THEM.'' " (verses 11-15)

In other words, the book of Revelation [the Apocalypse] was "told to John" and recorded AS A PARABLE, for the consumption of the general public... SO THEY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND what it's saying -- [and, O, how this book has been studied and MIS-interpreted by most of the scholars of the world]. But if anyone has any chance of understanding what it truly means... they have to "GO TO JESUS PRIVATELY" as His disciples did FOR HIS EXPLANATION OF HIS PARABLES!

"All these things spake Jesus unto the multitudes IN PARABLES; and without a parable SPAKE HE NOT UNTO THEM... Then Jesus SENT THE MULTITUDE AWAY, and went into the [HIS] house: and HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM [in the privacy of His house], saying, 'DECLARE UNTO US THE PARABLE OF THE TARES IN THE FIELD.'" (Matt.13:34-36)

Jesus' own disciples didn't understand what the parables meant UNTIL THEY WERE ALONE WITH HIM -- PRIVATELY!

Therefore, in order to know and understand WHO THE RIDER on the WHITE HORSE of Revelation 6 is; you have to go to the place [or places] in the Bible where Jesus speaks PRIVATELY to His disciples regarding THE SAME END TIME PROPHECIES about which the book of Revelation speaks. Like in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21... where:

"...the disciples CAME UNTO HIM PRIVATELY, saying, 'TELL US, WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE? And WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING [when will you reveal yourself as King], and of THE END OF THE WORLD[the end of the age; or the conclusion of your Father's plan]?"

THE VERY NEXT THING Jesus says to them, IN PRIVATE... corresponds CHRONOLOGICALLY to THE VERY FIRST SEAL THAT HE STRIPS OFF OF THE SCROLL. THE WHITE HORSE! So, this is Jesus' PRIVATE interpretation [FOR THOSE WILLING TO HEAR, LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND] of the Rider on the White Horse of the Apocalypse:

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, 'TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM CHRIST [or I represent Christ; or I am a Christian]; AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY." (Matt.24:4-5)

The rider of the white horse is the FIRST of the famous FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE. And he is FALSE RELIGION!

Jesus launches, then, for His disciples straight into the meaning of the next three seals [the other three horsemen] of Revelation 6:

"And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS OF WARS[the red horse]: see that ye be not troubled: for THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, but THE END IS NOT YET. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be FAMINES [the black horse], and PESTILENCES [diseases; the pale horse], and earthquakes, in divers places. ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS [tribulation]." (Matt.24:6-8)

The Four Horsemen of Revelation [FALSE RELIGION, WAR, FAMINES, DISEASES and DEATH] are the four main SORROWS that make up the "normal, average" DAY-IN-THE-LIFE on planet earth FOR ALL PEOPLE! Jesus reveals that they are both NECESSARY and THE BEGINNING of SORROWS [the things that shall eventually grow and increase, globally, and usher in THE GREAT TRIBULATION -- the next seal 5 of Revelation 6].

Throughout the history of the world, FALSE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS [the white horse] have been the CAUSE of MOST [if not ALL, directly or indirectly] of the wars in the world... the prime element for all the world's sorrows, woes, and wars. [look at the religion-based terrorism today that plagues every nation on earth]. The nations are confused and vexed by it.... and it grows more terrifying and horrifying, daily -- building into what prophecy reveals as the ushering in of what Jesus calls in the KJV "Great Tribulation" [see Matt.24:21-22]. The NLT calls it "Great Horror." Weymouth's New Testament [WEY] calls it "Greater Suffering." Williams New Testament [MNT] calls it "Greater Misery" "...than ever has been since the world began."

Jesus tells His servants to beware of "false religion" in general [as the Old Testament warns the Israelites to have nothing to do with the religions and practices of the pagan nations around them]. But His warning also specifically warns His servants of FALSE CHRISTS, or CHRISTIANITY -- warning them regarding the deceptive perversion of His teachings in His Holy Name. He warns them of people coming in His name, claiming to represent Him... some even claiming to BE Him!

[God doesn't call His church 'Christians' or 'Christianity'... THE WORLD DOES - see Acts 11:26: the disciples in Antioch didn't name themselves 'Christians' -- the estranged unconverted Gentile friends and relatives of those disciples of Christ called them that. The word 'Christian(s)' is inspired in the Bible THREE TIMES: and they are not used in terms of endearment toward God's servants -- Acts 11:26: 26:28 & I Peter 4:16].

The Rider of Revelation's White Horse is FALSE RELIGION!

The Syrian ruler, Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164 BCE) punished Jewish attempts at resistance by attacking Jerusalem, slaughtering the population, plundering the Temple and erecting a statue to Zeus on the Temple altar of burnt offering. This was what the author of Daniel referred to as "the abomination of desolation". It began in 169 BCE and continued in 167 BCE.

This persecution constituted the context of the Book of Daniel, which used descriptions of the Babylonian kings of the 6th century BCE to decry the Syrian rulers of the second century BCE.
