Most church going Christians don’t know what I’m about to say. Most Christians think they don’t need to read and study the Book of Revelations. They think that they will be gone; raptured away. Well their wrong!!! First of all the word Revelations means to Reveal; to make known. Secondly; The word rapture is not mentioned in the Bible at all!!! Ezekiel 13:20- Wherefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
The LORD is against the fly away doctrine! The rapture.
Revelations 12:7- And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.
Revelations 12:8- And prevailed not neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelations 12:9- And the great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him.
Satan and his angels are being held back by Michael and his angels in heaven to this day. Satan’s spirit is here on earth, just like GOD’S spirit is.
Revelations 12:10- And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD, and the power of HIS CHRIST: for the accuser of our brethern is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night.
Rev. 12:10- says that satan has been in heaven pointing his finger at every christian that does something wrong. Bringing GOD’S attention to everything we do wrong day and night.
Before CHRIST comes back Michael and his angels are going to cast satan and his angels out of heaven onto the earth. And Rev. 12:9- says satan will deceive the whole world. Why? Cause satan will come down disguised as JESUS CHRIST, come to rapture the ones who believe in the false rapture doctrine.
2 Timothy 2:15- Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
GOD is telling us to study HIS word and dig for the truth.
Revelations means to reveal, to be made known. If you’re not suppose to read and study it then why is GOD revealing it to you? It’s not to be ignored!
In the first three chapter’s of Revelations GOD is talking about the 7 churches and what they teach. Out of 7 churches HE only approves of 2. That goes to show you HE is not happy with most of the churches. HE is very displeased with most churches because of their teachings. HE found only 2 churches out of 7 that taught the truth of GOD’S word. Most of the churches teaches men’s traditions more than the truth of GOD’S word. { like the rapture. That does not come from GOD’S word! That came from a girl named, Margret McDonald back in 1830 in a dream. She even said it felt evil. But the priest’s ran with it, and started teaching the rapture doctrine. They adopted a false doctrine into GOD’S word. That is satan setting the churches up to be deceived. And the 2 Churches that the LORD approved of taught who the synagogue of Satan are. You have to know and understand where the kenites, the son’s of Cain, came from and what their up to, to understand GOD’S plan.
Rev. 7:2-3,
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living GOD: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea.
3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our GOD in their foreheads.
What’s in your forehead? Your brain!!! That’s what GOD is saying, seal the TRUTH in the foreheads of HIS children. HE is constantly warning us about who is coming first!!!
Matthew 24:23- Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is CHRIST, or there; believe it not.
Mark 13:14- But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not ( let him that readeth understand) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains.
Why has GOD put parentheses around ( let him that readeth understand)? Because HE is wanting you to read and study and dig for the TRUTH. HE is warning you that when you see the Antichrist disguised as the True CHRIST sittin in Jerusalem claiming to be CHRIST, not to believe him and not worship him.
Luke 21:8- And HE said, “Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying, I am CHRIST; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Rev. 14:9- And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 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:
The beast is satan, himself. And his image is CHRIST. The mark in the forehead is believing he is really CHRIST. ( What is in your forehead? Your brain!!!! ) And what’s in your hand? Your works!!! So if you worship the beast and his image, you are believing that the antichrist is the true CHRIST, so you have received the mark in your forehead, and if you are working for him, you will receive the mark in your hand.
The mark 666, GOD is telling you when satan is coming, on the 6 seal, 6 trump, 6 vial. That’s why it is so important to read and study the Book of Revelations. It explains all about the 7 seals, 7 trumps, 7 vials. That is why Revelations is called the unveiling or to reveal. GOD is showing you what’s going to happen in the last days.
CHRIST doesn’t return until the 7th trump. 777 is GOD’S number. 666 is Satan’s number.
Matthew 24:29- Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30) And then shall appear the sign of the SON of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the SON of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31) And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11) And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12) That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
In verse 9 is saying plain as day that HIS coming is after the working of satan that will show power, and signs and lying wonders. { What kind of wonders? lying!!!}
Romans 5:3-5
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope;
5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
So here GOD is saying it’s good to go through tribulations. So why would HE fly all the Christians out of here before the end times tribulations?
HIS elect that has the seal of GOD in their foreheads are to put on the armour of GOD and stand against the antichrist!! Testifying to the people the truth of GOD’S word to turn them back to the true CHRIST.
It’s sad that the churches teaches the false doctrine called the rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
The word air in the Strong’s Concordance means to breathe, blow. It does not mean like the birds fly in the air. It means like the breathe of life, which is our spiritual bodies. All Christians are taught that 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is talking about the rapture. But if you do your homework you’ll find out that doesn’t take place until after the two witnesses are raised from the dead. That’s after satan has deceived the whole world and kills the two witnesses, and they lay in the street for 3 1/2 days.
Revelation 11:8-15
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our LORD was crucified.
9) And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10) And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make marry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
note: Why was the two witnesses ( the two prophets ) tormenting the people? Because they will be teaching the Truth of God’s word about the people being deceived by satan. Nobody wants to believe that he is not JESUS. He looks like the pictures that we all have hanging in our homes of CHRIST. he is acting loving and saying peace, and prosperity. Satan knows he only has a short time and he will do anything to draw GOD’S children away from Him. Even down to disguising himself as JESUS, tricking the whole world into worshipping him.
Revelation 11:11
And after three days and an half the spirit of life from GOD entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12) And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, ” Come up hither, ” And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
note: cloud = not a rain cloud of the earth, but referring to the attendant angelic hosts. (a crowd of angels.
The word beheld = ” saw ”
13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the GOD of heaven.
14) The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15) And the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying, ” The kingdom of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of His CHRIST; and He shall reign for ever and ever. ”
note: The 7 seals are opened by JESUS CHRIST the LAMB. He is the only one who is worthy. As the seals are opened they reveal what is going to happen. The 7 trumps are the signals for each pouring out of the 7 vials. The 7 vials are the wrath of GOD.
note: If you read Revelation 11:14-15
The third woe, which is the 7th vial poured out, is CHRIST returning to find most of His children whoring after the Antichrist / the instead of Christ. He’s mad! The LORD is coming as a groom to wed His bride, ( the church) we are the church, GOD’S children. We are Israel. The 12 tribes of Israel was scattered and lost their identity.
There is so much to learn about GOD’S word!!
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and by our gathering together unto Him,
2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as that the day of CHRIST is at hand.
3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
note: The falling away he’s talking about is when the whole world turns from the true CHRIST and is worshipping the Antichrist / Satan.
4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called GOD, or that is worshipped: so that he as GOD sitteth in the Temple of GOD, shewing himself that he is GOD.
note: That plainly states that the son of perdition, which is the man of sin, is going to be sitting in the Temple of GOD, claiming to be GOD.
note: I’M gonna skip to verse 8-9 in 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2:
8) And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:
9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
note: In verse 8-9 plainly states the LORD doesn’t return until after the working of satan.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die) but we shall all be changed,
52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This does not mean that the dead bodies in the graves will be popping out. The dead bodies in the graves have turned back to dust. In 1 Cor. 52- when the true CHRIST returnes we who are still alive, will be changed into our spiritual bodies, ( everybody who is still living)
Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LORD.
OK. HE has told us our dead flesh bodies will turn back to dust, and that our spiritual bodies will be present with the LORD.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14) For if we believe that JESUS died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in JESUS will GOD bring with HIM.
So here GOD is telling us that all that has already died, HE is bringing them with HIM when HE returns. Once you die, your spiritual body returns back to CHRIST. Once you shed your flesh body, you are done with it. It turns back to dust.
1 Corinthians 15:53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
note: (corruptible = flesh body;) (incorruption = spiritual body;) ( mortal = soul, liable to die,)
(immortality = spirit, deathlessness, eternal life.)
In 1 Thessalonians 4:14 says that GOD is bringing all who has already died back with Him when He returns.
note: In 1 Corinthians 15:53 says for this corruptible must put on incorruption. ( that means the flesh body dies which leaves the spiritual body.) Then it goes on to say; and this mortal must put on immortality. ( that means after someone dies they are in their mortal soul.; which is still liable to die, that’s called the second death, when the soul is destroyed)
note: Satan will be locked up while we all go through the Millennium and at the end of the Millennium Satan will be turned loose for a short season and whoever follows him then, their soul will be destroyed along with satan in the lake of fire. That is the second death.
Revelation 21:2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from GOD out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, ” Behold, the Tabernacle of GOD is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and GOD Himself shall be with them, and be their GOD.
4) And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:22-25
And I saw no Temple therein: for the LORD GOD Almighty and the LAMB are the Temple of it.
23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of GOD did lighten it, and the LAMB is the light thereof.
24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Note: GOD is bringing heaven to earth. Why would He want you to fly away, when He’s coming here?
Everybody will be going through the last days Tribulation. No one is going to get a free ride out of it!! It’s not only gonna be hard times but it also is a test. GOD’S TEST, to see who is worthy to have eternal life. Nobody gets a free pass. You have to earn it.
GOD does not have favorites!! Everybody is treated the same. GOD is fair.
Even the children who has the seal of GOD in their foreheads, meaning the children who knows the truth about the Antichrist; GOD’S ELECT; will have to go through the Tribulation. He says to put on the Armour of GOD so we can stand against the Antichrist. There’s gonna be a flood like in Noah’s day, only it won’t be a flood of waters, it will be a flood of lies.
Matthew 24:38
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe ( Noah) entered into the ark,
Note: The deceived Christian’s will marry the wrong bridegroom!
39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days: and also after that, when the sons of GOD came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Note: In the days of Noah, the sons of GOD took the daughters of men for wives. that was spiritual beings ( mortal souls) that came to earth without being born of woman. They went against GOD and left their habitation and came to the earth, married daughters of men and had children. And the children grew to be giants.
Matthew 24:38 says that they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and then in verse 39 says so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
I have just one more thing to say, and it’s very important!!! The end time Tribulation that we all are gonna go threw is a spiritual warfare. It’s all about your soul!! Satan is gonna be trying hard to take as many souls with him as he can!! He knows his time is running short, he knows his destiny!!
Study your Bible and pray!! ask the LORD to open your eyes and ears to the truth!
GOD BLESS!!!❤
Damon D. Turley
The reason I need to read the book of Revelation . Is too worn the lost and undone period of The Parables but lost and undone. All the trubles that are coming on this earth and to everyone that has missed the rapture for the meeting in the air. The rapture is not Jesus return to this earth. It is a snatching away of his children before all these parables take place. Understand please what you are saying when you say rapture
Damon D. Turley
The congregational meeting in the air is in the Bible.
Damon D. Turley
You’re quoting after chapter 5 which means you’re quoting what God is saying to the Hebrew Nation or Israel. Not to his church
Jo Kelly
Kathy Richardson….., Arnold Murray had no idea what he was talking about compared to clear Biblical prophecies. In Murray’s theories, he attempted to change clear meanings of Scripture, to fit his speculations “about” what God declared!
Pre-Tribulation believers know Ezekiel 13: 20 was not about a flying away as he thought,but about the false prophetesses in Ezekiel’s day who caught their victims as if they were birds flying and getting ensnared in traps, in their pretended prophecies. Those who prophecy falsely will be ensnared also, as if in a trap, along with those who believe Jesus is not coming and to judge them for leading astray!
If the people who followed these chapel teachers would simply get in their Bibles and let the blessed Holy Spirit teach them, they would see truth, as written below!
TRUTH–
1. Satan is NOT a human man, but a spiritual created angel. As a spirit entity who fell, he is not the coming Antichrist nor the false prophet who is rising on the scene as the “Little Horn” of Daniel! Satan is not the one seen cast into the Lake of Fire at the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth to defeat the (two literal men in power) and the armies they gathered against God’s people! God allows these two Beasts, (who are powerful men and rulers), to do so due to the hardening of their hearts to believe a lie.
a. Satan CANNOT be the Antichrist although in league with all evil. Here is proof Arnold Murray deceived his followers if teaching Satan was the man of sin to come. When Jesus returns to the earth at the time of the second advent, what two entities is he going to defeat, as earth’s literal leaders at this time? Here is the truth of what happens when Jesus returns to the earth with saints and angels. Both the Antichrist and False prophet are CAST ALIVE in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone! However, Satan is not cast there at this time, but allowed to test those of the nations, many of whom are born of the natural living people during the 1000 years of natural people living during the Millennial and ruled over by saints ruling as kings and priests with Jesus.
TRUTH–
Revelation 19: 20….19 And I (John) saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse; and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and WITH him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast ALIVE into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
TRUTH–
Satan suffers this fate, as shown in Scriptures, at the second coming of the Lord to the earth with saints.
Revelation 20:20—20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and BOUND him a THOUSAND years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless PIT and SHUT him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, TILL the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be LOOSED a little season.
TRUTH–At, or near the end of the 1000 year Millennial Reign of Christ, Here are actual Biblical details, as to Satan, who is NOT the Antichrist who was cast earlier into the Lake of Fire.
Revelation 20: 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (the bottomless pit)
8 And shall go OUT to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to GATHER them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the CAMP of the saints about, and the beloved city: and FIRE came down from God out of heaven, and DEVOURED them.
10 And the DEVIL that deceived them was CAST into the lake of fire and brimstone, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. We CLEARLY see three separate entities at this time who have been cast into the lake of fire, Satan being cast there 1000 years after the Antichrist and false prophet.
NEXT, John sees after this the Lord on His throne and the time of the Great White Throne Judgment and second resurrection of those not in the resurrection of the blessed and holy.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

I didn’t post my study to start a fuss but to warn people of what’s to come. If you don’t believe what I post to be true then just agree to disagree! I’m not going to argue with you!
Damon D. Turley
All I request is that you go back and start reading it again without the influence of your teachers. Let the Holy Spirit interpret the scriptures that he has written. Take an English class so that you can understand the English that is there. Read things in context period of the Bible not of other people
Kathy Richardson
You have to take words back to the Hebrew meanings to get to the truth.
Damon D. Turley
Okay when is the congregational meeting in the air of God’s children?
Damon D. Turley
Oh by the way I don’t know Hebrew. I’ve got a few words from Joseph Prince. But that’s about the limit of my Hebrew.
Kathy Richardson
You have to use a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
Damon D. Turley
Why sure. I find it very informative most of the time. Where is explanation coincides with the Bible. The Bible is the only book that translates itself.
Kathy Richardson
The original manuscripts were written in Hebrew and Greek. Then later on translated into English. Some Words lost their true meaning that’s why you got to take them back to their original meanings to get the truth.
Damon D. Turley
You mean like the word care?
Maria Santos
Kathy Richardson What is the gospel of your salvation?
Damon D. Turley
Read and reread Roman 10 9 + 10.
Damon D. Turley
Turning from your way to God.
Kathy Richardson
I am a saved Christian
Kathy Richardson
I’m a child of GOD!
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
you are making your own interpretation when it comes to 1 Thessalonians 4:17. you need to learn how to compare scripture. and by the way, it is easy to say ” I am a saved Christian”, ” I am a child of God” but following God is not that easy. God said, “those who say they knew me, but are not following my laws, they are liars and the truth is not in them.” (forgot what text)
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
“Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” and what is the WILL of the Father? its his laws!
Warren Weatherby
Laws don’t save .. never did .
You reject what Jesus died for if you believe laws save ..
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
lol you again?
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
the law will tell you that you have dirt in your face just like a mirror. if you see dirt in your face wipe it warren
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
O my sin, my sweet little darling sin! I want to hold you and embrace you till the day I die lol that’s the reason why you keep preaching—we don’t need to keep the law anymore. we are saved by grace anyway— according to your church doctrine.
Ninfa Pallad Cochran
if there is no law there is no sin. why don’t you tell God to just get rid of his 10 commandment law warren?
Jo Kelly
Kathy Richardson….Arnold Murray “claimed” he had read the orginal manuscripts but there were no original available, as to original autographs of the Bible, so readers knew thisbwas not truth. He was challenged to read two Hebrew Scriptures presented to him, and if he could read them, money would be donated tomhis ministry to use as he wished. Of course he couldn’t accept the challenge as he didn’t read the Bible in Hebrew but the samevway many of us do with one exception. We do not attempt to put Greek word meanings on Hebrew Scriptures.

Galatians 2:20-21 King James Version (KJV)
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Paul Markham
I see someone is follower of Arnould Murray
Paul Markham
If you don’t do what Jesus did you have received the wrong spirit!
Paul Markham
If you would study the context of that chapter of Ezekiel it does not say what you think it does.
Damon D. Turley
Sounds like somebody’s trying to mix hot and cold together. Be advised that doesn’t work to be in context
Jo Kelly
Narasimha Raju….This is a false statement you made…”The William Miller and millerites disappointment was already told in Bible years ago Revelation 10th chapter and in the same way it happened.”. There is not one word told about their sin of false prophesy and disappointment of believing such in Revelation 10.
James Mesramp
Preached it my sister, many Christian followed their leaders, not the written word in the Bible, Jesus over Satan through the written word of God, Deuteronomy 8:3 man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Narasimha Raju
Jo Kelly …read carefully Revelation 10th chapter there you can see John the revelator saw the vision that when Angel gave Him small book and told Him to eat , John took that book and ate it and it was sweet like honey in his mouth but it was bitter in his stomach.
Ate it which means read it, William Miller saw verse from the book of Daniel 8:14 and thought that the world going to be end and Christ will return soon , the millerites were so happy when they came to this prophecy that Christ would return soon but when Christ did not come they got the disappointment… The news was sweet when they heard of it but it was bitter when did not come. Have you know that the book of Daniel was sealed until that but revealed the truth from Daniel and Revelation from 1844… you haven’t understood the scripture please read it with Holy Spirit… God bless
Damon D. Turley
Since you are in charge. Because God said so. If you want to believe yourself in the middle of the Great Tribulation. Be my guest. I would rather believe God’s word when it says that he will keep me from the hour of tribulation. So I believe I won’t be here but if you want to believe you were here be my guess. It is a warning to unbelievers to scare the pants off of them so that they don’t go to hell. God loves us so much that he gave us Jesus to pay the penalty for our sins. As a parent when your child asked for a piece of bread do you hand him a snake and says here learn something?

Ezekiel 13 truths about flying into traps, Kathy Richardson….EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)
Benson Commentary
Ezekiel 13:20-23. Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye hunt the souls, &c. — To make them run into those snares and seductions that you have laid for them, Ezekiel 13:18. The metaphor is continued from the manner of hunting and pursuing living creatures, thereby to drive them into the toils prepared for them. I will tear them from your arms — “I will make your cheats and impostures appear so evidently that nobody shall be in danger of being seduced by you any more:” see Ezekiel 13:23. Your kerchiefs also will I tear — I will lay quite open and render useless all your arts; they shall no longer serve your purpose. Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad — As you have deluded and comforted the wicked with vain hopes, so you have disheartened the righteous with groundless fears, or made them sad with the lies and calumnies you have invented against them. Therefore ye shall see no more vanity nor divine divinations, &c. — An entire end shall be put to all your false predictions and divinations; for ye shall all perish, namely, in the siege of Jerusalem, either by the famine, disease, or the weapons of the Chaldeans.
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary
13:17-23 It is ill with those who had rather hear pleasing lies than unpleasing truths. The false prophetesses tried to make people secure, signified by laying them at ease, and to make them proud, signified by the finery laid on their heads. They shall be confounded in their attempts, and God’s people shall be delivered out of their hands. It behoves Christians to keep close to the word of God, and in every thing to seek the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Let us so trust the promises of God as to keep his commandments.
Barnes’ Notes on the Bible
To make them fly – If the marginal reading “into gardens” be adopted, it must mean, Ye entice men to the gardens or groves, where magical arts are practiced. That groves were used for this purpose and for idolatrous rites is notorious.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
20. I am against your pillows—that is, against your lying ceremonial tricks by which ye cheat the people.
to make them fly—namely, into their snares, as fowlers disturb birds so as to be suddenly caught in the net spread for them. “Fly” is peculiarly appropriate as to those lofty spiritual flights to which they pretended to raise their dupes when they veiled their heads with kerchiefs and made them rest on luxurious arm-cushions (Eze 13:18).
let … souls go—”Ye make them fly” in order to destroy them; “I will let them go” in order to save them (Ps 91:3; Pr 6:5; Ho 9:8).
Matthew Poole’s Commentary
I am against (the same phrase Ezekiel 13:8)
your pillows; the rite, and its signification too.
There hunt the souls; either at Jerusalem, or wherever you give out answers.
To make them fly: in this sense the word is no where else used, and thus used here renders the interpretation obscure. Elsewhere it is, to bud, as Numbers 17:8 Ezekiel 7:10; to blossom, Isaiah 27:6; to spring up as a flower or vine, Psalm 92:7 Song of Solomon 6:11; to grow, as Hosea 14:8. Thus the sense is obvious; by these lying ceremonies thus applied you promise a flourishing, growing state to all inquirers, and this is, the net with which you hunt souls. It is possible these prophetesses might bring their deceived ones into pleasant gardens, and (if well paid for it) entertain with all the pleasures of flowers and fruits; and might not these prophetesses be the priests of Flora, and seduce young, fair, wanton ones to the idolatry and brutish pleasures of the Floralia?
I will tear them, with some violence and suddenness, that may express an indignation; as, 2 Kings 5:7, when the king of Israel rent his clothes at the hearing the letter of Benhadad king of Syria, so in wrath will God suddenly tear your enchanting and divining habits.
From your arms; either from the arms of such as put them on when they consulted with these seducers; or may be the seducers might ordinarily wear them, to be known what they were.
Will let the souls go: you held the souls of those that heard you as captives, or as bewitched with your enchantments and pleasures; but I will set them free, some I will enlighten to discover your frauds, others I will undeceive by sending them into captivity.
Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against your pillows,…. Not only had an abhorrence of them, but was determined to destroy them, detect their fallacies, and expose the folly of such actions, and them to shame and contempt:
wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly; to the places where they prophesied; into the toils and nets they spread for them, in order to catch them with their divinations and prophecies, and make a gain of them: or, “into the gardens”, or “groves” (o); there to commit idolatry, Isaiah 65:3;
and I will tear them from your arms; by which it seems that those pillows were not only put under the arms of those that came to inquire of these female prophets or fortune tellers; but they put them under their own arms, and lay upon them as if they were asleep, and in a trance or ecstasy; and so the kerchiefs or veils were upon their heads, which covered their faces, to show that they were quite retired from the world, and wholly attentive to the visions and revelations they pretended were made them by the Lord; and which they gave out, in this superstitious way, to the credulous people that flocked about them:
and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly; which were captivated with their superstitions; drawn into their nets and snares; decoyed into the gardens, where they were prevailed upon to sacrifice to idols, and were taken with their soothsaying and lying divinations; these the Lord promises to break the snare for them, and set them at liberty, and preserve them from that ruin and destruction they were ready to come into; see Psalm 124:7.
(o) “in floralia”, Junius & Tremellius, Polanus, Starckius; “in floridis hortis”, Piscator.
Geneva Study Bible
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your magic charms, with which ye there hunt the {m} souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
(m) That is, to cause them to perish, and that they should depart from the body.

Ninfa Pallad Cochran…The covenant made by Antichrist is NOT the Covenant that was made by Jesus…..The covenant to be made with many has not yet happened! God does not break HIS covenants HE makes, sinful men do! Do you accuse Him of making a Covenant and then breaking it, as Scripture says will be done? Be careful!
Jo Kelly
Ninfa Pallad Cochran….Please study and see God’s truths and law aside teachings of earthly false prophets…Daniel 8:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the TRUTH to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? NOTE—God does not cast the TRUTH down.

Ninfa Pallad Cochran..,Give any Scripture you think proves the 70 weeks in Daniel have ALL been fulfilled, including the last weekmof seven years? We await your Scriptures.

In this debate is anyone getting their pants scared off of them in fear of going to hell. I think it’s been approached from the wrong direction

Satan has a very effective weapon. Satan will insert agitators into churches, Christian groups etc, to cause trouble with their heresy. So while we are busy playing ‘wack a mole’ trying to answer every little inaccuracy, we aren’t getting the message of the Gospel of Christ.
I see this happening literally everywhere now.

Let the luke warm have there belief they want this world let them have it keep seeking the Kingdom instead
