THE REVELATION OF THE BEAST!

--And the Seven Signs of His Revelation!--Are YOU Prepared?
1. I THINK THE LORD MAY HAVE GIVEN ME A REAL REVELATION, at least that's the way it hit me, about a major sign of the times! After all, as it gets closer & later, the Lord is bound to give us a few more indications to prepare us and get us ready. I was just reading this new Letter, my New Year's message ("It Can Happen Now!").
2. I WAS JUST PROOFREADING IT & WAS REALLY IN THE SPIRIT about this thing, & something very significant came to me. I don't know whether I even said it the night I gave you that talk, but the various soothsayers, psychics, mediums, astrologers & all are ALL predicting that something very great is going to happen in NOVEMBER of this year!
3. AND THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO ME WAS THE REVELATION OF THE ANTICHRIST! I think the seers & astrologers, etc., claim that it's going to happen somewhere in the first half of the month or on the first of November or something like that.--They didn't claim the ANTICHRIST is going to be revealed, but some of them were even strong enough to say that it's going to be the end of the World! Well, it's going to be the end of the World as it is NOW, that's for sure! It's going to be very outstanding, & you'll KNOW when the Antichrist is revealed & he stops all other worship, etc. You know what the Revelation of the Antichrist is, don't you? Many of the signs are described in Daniel.
THE SEVEN SIGNS OF THE REVELATION OF THE ANTICHRIST!
4. SHALL WE CALL THESE THE SEVEN SIGNS OF THE REVELATION OF THE ANTICHRIST?--Things that are only going to begin when the Antichrist appears, reveals himself or is revealed & takes over the World, which only occurs when? (Fam: In the midst of the week.) In the midst of the 70th week of Daniel 9.
5. THE REVELATION OF THE ANTICHRIST IS A VERY, VERY CATACLYSMIC, COLOSSAL, GIGANTIC EVENT! Now let me ask you, of all people, who would the Devil & the Antichrist wish to use to make this announcement, to predict it?--Who are largely the Devil's messengers, many of whom have his evil familiar spirits by which they predict events, etc.? Who would the Devil most likely choose?--The soothsayers, the seers, the psychics, the astrologers would be the most likely vessels that he would choose to announce & predict his coming. They would be predicting the coming of the Antichrist, hailing him & announcing him.
6. SO THIS IS A BIG EVENT! If next November is the time of the Revelation of the Antichrist, this is extremely important to us, & there are a lot of tremendous earthshaking worldwide events that will occur at that time!
7. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN BOIL THIS DOWN TO A ONE WORD ANSWER FOR EACH OF THESE SIGNS. Now obviously the first one would be REVELATION, it's all about the Antichrist, his Revelation. What next, what's another short answer? (Fam: Breaking the Covenant?) BREAKS COVENANT. Good, first he's revealed, then he breaks the Covenant, then what? (Fam: WORLD GOVERNMENT.) He establishes a OneWorld government. Right. Next? (Fam: IMAGE OF THE BEAST.) Image of the Beast, his image. What comes after the Image of the Beast? (Fam: ABOLISHES WORSHIP.) Yes, with the Image of the Beast he requires worship & abolishes all OTHER worship. To boil it down, how about "worship of himself"? He abolishes all other religions except the worship of himself. And there's the Mark of the Beast, & the new economic system & the Tribulation.
8. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS BUT I'M TRYING TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY of what a tremendous event that's going to be when the middle of his reign comes & he appears & breaks the Covenant & all these other traumatic events occur. Let's list them:
1) Revelation
2) Breaks Covenant
3) One-World Government
4) Image & Worship
5) Mark
6) New Economy
7) Tribulation
9. ARE YOU DULY IMPRESSED WITH HOW IMPORTANT THAT TIME IS WHEN THE ANTICHRIST IS REVEALED? (Fam: Yes, Sir!) It's one of the most earthshaking events to occur in all of World history because it will be the REAL beginning of the VERY End, amen? (Fam: Yes, Sir!) Because it'll be just 3-1/2 years from then till the End.
THE STARTLING SIGNIFICANCE OF HALLEY'S COMET!
10. WE HAD PREDICTED A FEW YEARS BACK, "1986 WOULD BE A GREAT YEAR FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO COME ON THE SCENE!" Can you remember what we said was possibly the SIGN that the Antichrist was going to come that year? (Fam: HALLEY'S COMET!) Right! Halley's comet, 1986! But then I sat there thinking, "Well Lord, if November 1989 is going to be the Revelation of the Antichrist, where is that in his calendar?" (Fam: Half way through his reign.) Half way through his reign!
11. SO I WAS THINKING, "WELL, LORD, THEN HIS REIGN MUST HAVE BEGUN 3-1/2 YEARS BEFORE THAT, & certainly, Lord, if his reign began 3-1/2 years before that, something significant, something great, SOMETHING should have happened to make us realise that maybe something was happening that year!" What year was that?--'86!--And what happened in '86? HALLEY'S COMET CAME!
12. IT ALWAYS JUST OVERWHELMS ME WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SO GOOD TO US TO SHOW US THINGS! I had been saying, "Well now, Lord, if that's so, if this coming November is the time, then certainly something significant should've happened 3-1/2 years before that to tip us off that something was really happening, that the Antichrist was BEGINNING to reign." And the first thing that immediately came to me, just like a quiet little voice was, "It DID." I can't quite put it into words, but the words were like this, "Just as QUIETLY.--He came just as quietly as did the COMET!"
COUNTDOWN FROM APRIL '86 TO NOVEMBER '89--A SHOCKER!
13. DO YOU KNOW WHEN HALLEY'S COMET CAME? APRIL!--1986! So there are 8 or 9 months of '86 after the coming of the comet, right? Then there's '87 & '88, two full years.
14. (FAM: THEN IT WOULD BE 10 MONTHS IN 1989 UNTIL NOVEMBER, & IF YOU TAKE THE 8 MONTHS IN '86 AFTER APRIL, IT'D BE 42 MONTHS!) 42 months, 3-1/2 YEARS! If you count from May '86 TO November '89, you've got 42 months!
15. I'LL TELL YOU, THAT REALLY SHOOK ME UP WHEN I REALISED, "WELL, THAT WAS 3-1/2 YEARS UNTIL THIS COMING NOVEMBER!" Now that came to me just as clear as anything. You can call it the still small voice, whatever. It was enough to convince me right off the bat! I had said, "But SOMETHING should have happened THEN." And it came to me in so many words. You don't hear it, you just get it in here (points to head), or maybe in here (points to heart). All of a sudden, "It DID, but QUIETLY, like the Comet!"
16. NOW ISN'T THAT A STRANGE WAY FOR THE LORD TO PUT IT? "QUIETLY." See? In other words, he came in quietly. (Fam: Even Daniel 11 says he shall enter PEACEABLY.) Ahh! That's another thing! What is another outstanding sign of these past three years? What's been going on that has really never happened before?--Peace after peace after peace has been made over these past 3-1/2 years! He's working behind the scenes making peace, forcing or persuading these various powers to make peace & stop all their wars.
MAJOR EVENTS OF 1986!
17. LET ME READ YOU SOME OF THESE OTHER MAJOR EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN '86! The space shuttle Challenger exploded that year! DUVALIER, a dictator fell. MARCOS, another dictator fell. "The fall of kings." PALME, head of Sweden, got shot, assassinated. Three kings, in a sense. What huge event took place that was just earthshaking worldwide & had effect all over the World?--CHERNOBYL! And do you know what that word means in Russian? (Fam: It means WORMWOOD!) The actual literal meaning of the name Chernobyl is Wormwood!--Rev.8:10,11.
18. THAT WAS ONE OF THE SIGNS IN REVELATION, a star fell from Heaven & his name was Wormwood! A star, of course, in this case is significant of an evil angel. They don't know really how Chernobyl happened. Could it have been an evil angel that started the trouble in Chernobyl? It was named after him!--Wormwood! Also, Reagan & Gorbachev had their first summit meeting in which they began to make peace.
19. '86 WAS A VERY TERRIFIC YEAR! I doubt if there's been a year since then with as many great calamities and all kinds of significant events. What a significant sign of the coming of the Antichrist & the beginning of his reign! Just think, he is right now behind the scenes telling those God-damned [ACs] what to do & how to do it! And apparently he figures he's going to have it wrapped up by the end of this year, wrapped up enough to finally appear, & that the World will be so desperate to have its problems solved that they'll gladly kneel to him, bow to him to save themselves!
THE TEMPLE: LITERAL OR SPIRITUAL?
20. IS THERE ANY POINT WE NEGLECTED? YOU SAY, "OH, DAD, REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS SAID THE JEWS HAD TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE FIRST so that he could sit in it & claim he was God & erect the Image outside in the holy place!" The holy place is still there, he doesn't need a temple to put up the Image. And what have I said about what is the TRUE holy place? If he endeavours to set himself up in everyone's HEART at that time & demand worship & stop all other worship, what truer temple could he have chosen than the one that God says is the REAL temple?--The temple of the human body & the human heart!
SPREADING THE WORD & FINISHING THE JOB!
21. JUST THINK, THE FAMILY IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD IN MANY MANY COUNTRIES, & yet we constantly get the Word to them to tell them what's going on, what to do, what move to make next, how to organise our forces, what our strategy should be now that we've gone through this stage, that stage & the other. Well, the phase right now is that we have more or less FINISHED THE JOB, done the best we could, & those who can stay where they are, fine. But actually thousands of you are having to return home to your Home Fields.
22. THAT, YOU MIGHT SAY, PORTENDS THE WINDING UP OF OUR JOB. We've done all we could wherever we could & we have been forced out of many countries. Bad publicity & persecution have forced us out. We've done the best we could. As I've said before, it's almost over. We're finishing the job, so we don't have much longer to work. We're almost done. PTL? TYL! Hallelujah! TYJ! PTL!
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE COMING DAYS!
23. TYJ! PTL! HALLELUJAH! WHILE YOU WERE PRAYING I WAS JUST THINKING & PRAYING, "WELL, WHAT NEXT?" You say, "Well, we'll just keep on going the best we can until it happens." But what can we expect? I think we have already suffered in a number of countries something very similar to what we can expect to occur worldwide. What's the Devil trying to do all the time? They do their best to suppress & BAN THE WORD, ban the LIT, forbid it! We are legally forbidden in some countries to distribute any of our literature.
24. SO YOU CAN EXPECT A TIGHTENING UP IN EVERY WAY. Thank God for a few countries where there's still freedom, or at least a pretense of freedom. But even in countries where there is freedom, look what they do to you! Look at the way they can smear you & lie about you & turn people against you where you're almost damned, even your mode of living is damned! And they even try to get your kids separated from you. So we need to be thinking about all these, not worrying, not fearing, but just PLANNING.
25. SO, PTL! "EVEN SO, COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!"--REV.22:20. We don't have much time left to work. Let's make it count, amen? God bless you all. Bless these, Thy precious sheep & Thy precious children, Lord, Thy workers, reapers, harvesters, the ones that also help get out the seed, to HELP us get out the seed, Lord, so we can still sow it in as many hearts as possible, to win & save as many souls as we can before our time is up. TYJ! PYL! Hallelujah! TYL!
26. OH, BY THE WAY, ANOTHER THING MAMA THOUGHT OF TODAY, A CONFIRMATION: We were talking about the timeline & how we'd already estimated that perhaps the Lord would come in '93, she just suddenly came out & said, "Hey, remember that Gypsy lady told me I'd live to be 93!" And even then I said, "Well, maybe she meant you were going to live TO 1993?" (Maria: Yes, but in her very broken English, she just said, "Till '93.") Yes, live till '93! There you are! Amen? (Fam: Amen!) TYL! TYJ! HIS Will be Done! GBAKY all--& MYAB!--In Jesus' name, amen! ILY!
