I pledge allegiance to THE KING OF KINGS and to His Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven one Holy Nation under the Heavenly Father with Grace, Mercy and Justice for all.

Authors Prologue

God’s chosen people have an Enemy that wants to keep them in ignorance and confusion.

This Enemy has many agents mingled in the congregation of the righteous.

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. (28)

The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? (29)

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. (30)

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Mat 13:28-30

Most of these agents and their followers are unwitting participants in the enemy’s age-old trans-generational conspiracy to pollute the meaning of God’s word, especially those eschatological passages which clearly outline the revelation of history in advance:

biblical prophecy is the fingerprint of God to authenticate the Bible as His word.

The Enemy must at all costs conceal and deflect the identification of timing, major players and events with as much:

misdirection
confusion
outright obfuscation

as possible.

He has done a very thorough job.

The arrogance and pride of the current generation as opposed to former generations cause many to write off interpretations that came beforehand.

The fact is that a Holy Spirit Interpretation has always been available alongside the many counterfeits.

To ignore past works such as the Commentaries of Matthew Henry or E. B. Elliot’s Horae Apocalipticae as obsolete simply because they are centuries old is utter folly.

When surveying any interpretive work we should watch for tells, such as conjecture over a purely express representation of any text.

All conjecture is at best speculation when admitted as such or blindness when accepted as truth regardless, at worst it is intentional deception or self-delusion.

The use of conjecture is prominent in modern interpretation:

One example is the topic of the Resurrection which the plain reading of the text states that it happens at the Last Trump after the dead in Christ are first raised and those who are alive and remain are changed, then both groups are caught up together in the same event.

However, a new doctrine called The Rapture has developed by mere conjecture to overthrow the plain reading by inserting logical arguments such as the pre-wrath doctrine into the debate then answering that by unrelated scripture.

Another example of conjecture is the Gap Doctrine inserted into the Daniels Seventy Weeks Prophecy by comparing it to an unrelated prophecy.

The proponent will say,

“Remember when Jesus stood in the synagog and proclaimed,

“today is this prophecy fulfilled in your ears”

if you open up where he was reading, you’ll notice that the rest of that prophecy would not be fulfilled for thousands of years, thus being a precedent for inserting a gap.”

However, the comparison is faulty in that the proffered example has no expressed timeline for the things listed in it, but Daniel’s Seventy Weeks has a definite time frame of 490 years for certain things listed therein to be fulfilled.

Only by conjecture does one depart from the literal view to insert a gap before the final week.

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! Ezekiel 13:2-3

Writing from Babylon during the siege at Jerusalem, Ezekiel decries the Wall of False Prophets being built with untampered mortar causing the leaders to continue in their folly believing prophecy out of context while they secured in prison Jeremiah for speaking the truth.

Even Jesus, the Prophet of Prophets could not vanquish the false prophecy of the Religious Establishment of his day.

As did Jeremiah, Jesus told them the truth:

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. Luke 19:43-44

and; … there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations:

and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luke 21:23-24

Jesus verified the end of Daniel’s prophecy for the demise and total desolation of national Israel (seventy weeks are determined).

This was not popular prophecy, this is not what the Religious Establishment wanted to sell to the Hebrew Nation of Jesus day any more than Jeremiah in his day could make the case for total surrender to Babylon.

Unpopular prophecy is simply unacceptable, there is little or no money or fame for the truth in the Secular or Religious Establishment Media, not then nor even today.

The first job of any serious investigator into Bible Eschatology is to lay down every notion of what they have been taught, read or believe about the subject and look solely to the Word of God for all revelation and resulting conclusions about its prophetic passages.

And I mean

“lay it all down.”

If you bring any pretext, presupposition or preference into your investigation it is like starting a long journey with a compass that is just a few degrees off, and the end result will be right where the enemy wants to lead you.

As well intentioned as many are, that is exactly where most seekers end up in bible eschatology.

The entire Bible is made up of Sixty-six books the longest of which is the Psalms at about 150 pages.

God did not footnote, and reference verify the Bible, it already is the ultimate reference work.

You will notice this book is little more than 100 pages, of which a good portion is quoted scripture.

Because the Bible is the primary focus of this book that scripture inclusion here is worth more than a thousand pages of references to the works of men.

I have also seen footnoted references twisted and misrepresented so much that even those cannot be accepted at face value.

It is superficial to be impressed by the mere volume of references included in any work.

The era of internet search has made it very easy for any reader to verify and research any reference, topic or proposition easily and immediately for themselves, which I suggest they do.

It is up to the reader to research and verify anything written here. I pray that this book will cause you to focus primarily upon His Word as the standard to weigh the value of any prophetic work, even what I have written here.
