The Keys To Unlock The Signs Of The End, And Why You Must Get Ready To Leave Your Cities

WARNING:  The link contains an attachment, a book written by the author that can be downloaded for free.  The book is over 600 pages long.

I have only read a couple of chapters so far.

It's interesting but I realize most won't want to devote that much time to it, hence the warning.

No need to post "TL:DR".  I get it.  If I didn't have all kinds of free time I wouldn't read it either.

The rest of  you:  it is very interesting so far.

Good article.
I plan on downloading the book.
Thanks OP!

I'm about 130 pages in.  It's not looking good for the churches that embrace wokism and homosexuality as "normal."  It also places Gog and Magog in Turkey instead of Russia like most latter-day Revelation interpretists do.  It's also not buying into the idea that modern Israel is all that holy with its being one of the main proponents of homo and bisexuality.  In fact, this book contends they may be on the receiving end of some really bad shit because of it.



Interested yet?

Turkey didn’t kill 30 million Christians that was Stalin the half Christian. Not very reliable to place Gog Magog-Ajoj Majoj in a Muslim country since the tribes are enclosed near the North Pole.

Author needs a history lesson.

All I can add is that there's no way to respond to this in a short post on an internet forum.

I will say, though, that isn't it interesting that the seven churches in Revelation are in Asia Minor?

Muslims do MORE than their fair share of Genocide. Remember the Young Turks, or Iraq today etc.?

All I'm saying is it's not that hard to see it happening.
Iraq's Christians "close to extinction"

To funny considering Constantine Christians Rum converted to Islam as did the Mongols.

It’s unfortunate that Christians are no longer well treated in Islamic nations but that is partially the effect of “Demoncratization” and polished modern progressive politics and partially post colonial I.E banker era effects. Europe took many years to build after their satanic wars with one another. I don’t find it God like to fight for bankers.

Muslim atrocities occurred at war times but not anywhere the at the Atomic level (Satan worshiping Jack Parsons) or  bombs or Pure Satanic Mega level, Murder of over 30 Million Christians in Europe by Stalin’s army and feudal Christians.

How about what’s happening in Palestine are you shedding any tears or do you care? What about the Inquisition when Europe was in the dark age until Moors elevated it?

Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964

“But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims: these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day

Didn’t your priest or Catholic Church teach you Muslims are right guided? You profess to be a Catholic right?

Do you think the destabilizing of the Middle East with anti christ satanic wars has had a horrible effect on Christian and other minorities.

Think about it!

Yup, no radicalism here or anything. Look, anytime genocide is committed, regardless of who it is being committed upon, is wrong. Period. I would never condone the mistreatment of any non-Christian. That still doesn't excuse the genocide Muslims are perpetrating, so why bring it up?

see inside.

What exactly is funny?

You actually believe that?

Turkey was once Christian and now they are to blame?

Well the topic started with Turkey (once capital of Christians now Muslims). The grand book put the horrible tribe of GoG Magog as Muslims a threat to Israel. This  same horrible teaching has had us fight for Israel.

Just bad teaching.

I hope I’am being clear, if you ever visit PA you will see signs. Everywhere “no war for Israel”.

Regards

If I recall correctly, Muslims look to the coming of a great leader in the last days.  No?  The "Rightly Guided One? who will unite all Islam?

Hi Crux,
Muslim region is an unfortunate mess, the tradition says toward end of times the best folks are farmers and shepherds, who are in the out group as mass confusion and wars plague humanity. The Mehdi (Similar to Christian Saint) is from the prophets lineage mentioned in Hadith (not in Quran) but he will wait for Jesus as stated in Quran where Jesus will bring peace on earth (somewhat similar rapture), and Jesus noted his kingdom in heaven for riotous in Mathew 5,6,7.

Quran 32:42-47 "Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, 'Be!' and it is."

Quran 3:52 "To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me

Quran 3:55  (And remember) when Allah said:  O Jesus! Lo!  I am gathering thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve.

Quran Mary 19:33-34 Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!
Such was Jesus, son of Mary, (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.

Jesus returns to earth.

Quran 43:61 And indeed, he [i.e., Jesus] will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.

Regards

I've always found it noteworthy that Mary is not mentioned in the Apocalypse which appears to conflict with other systems of belief which recognize for her a sort of authority in heaven.  Nor do the apostles and other writers who were eye witnesses of the time document assumption of mary, and what is written shows Jesus consistantly distancing himself and his ministry from his monther rather than giving her a special role in the kingdom.  So perhaps Islam has more in common with Catholicism than it does with protestant faiths.

It was called the 30 year genocide .  

This may be a bit of a dismissive view. There are many Non-Catholic theologians who see Mary's Assumption and her place in Revelation as being evident:

"By the end of the Middle Ages, belief in Mary's Assumption into heaven was well established theologically and part of the devotional expressions of the people. The word Assumption comes from the Latin verb assumere, meaning "to take to oneself." Our Lord, Jesus Christ took Mary home to himself where he is.

For Martin Luther, Mary's Assumption was an understood fact, as his homily of 1522 indicates, in spite of the fact that Mary's Assumption is not expressly reported in Sacred Scripture. For Protestant reformer, Martin Butzer (1545), there was no reason to doubt about the Assumption of the Virgin into heavenly glory. "Indeed, no Christian doubts that the most worthy Mother of the Lord lives with her beloved Son in heavenly joy." (Marienlexikon, vol 3, 200)

H. Bullinger (1590), also a Protestant reformer, sought for a theological foundation for the Assumption in Scripture. He showed that the Old Testament tells of Elias, taken to heaven bodily to teach us about our immortality, and – because of our immortal soul – to respectfully honor the bodies of the saints. Against this backdrop he states, "Because of this, we believe that the pure immaculate chamber of the God-bearer, the Virgin Mary, is a temple of the Holy Spirit, that is her holy body, borne by angels into heaven." (Marienlexikon, vol 3, 200)"

You can also find numerous arguments from scholars who find Mary in Revelation 12 as well as those who don't. My point is that Protestant thought on Mary is varied.

More excerpts:

The rest of the book seems to go through the Book of Revelation from beginning to end.  It's a fascinating take, and so far one that goes against conventional wisdom.

I'll refrain from giving my opinion.  All I can say is that it provokes some very deep thought.

Indeed.  Mind you.  Today, ELCA being a timely example, "protestant" thought on homosexuality and other issues is also "varied".  Part of the hunger for many who seek Christ today is to set aside potential sources of error and try to make sure they are grounded in the core of what was written by Jesus and the Disciples.  Humans being humans though, even this appraoch leads to new human doctrines announcing certainty where there is no certainty.  It is a natrual consequence of the way humans are I believe.

In all ages our job is to search, test, and overcome these challenges as we seek to walk in what Jesus commanded of us.

Sodom and Gomorrah would rob travelers and commit sodomy that was their sin. God unleashed a volcano on them a similar faith to Pompeii.

Early Islamic scholars thought the Mongols fit the description of God Magog but this was erroneous since Jesus will be here when they are unleashed, an Asiatic race, possibly China or yet to come out from Mountains up North.

Quran 18: 94. They said, “O Zul-Qarnain, the Gog and Magog are spreading chaos in the land. Can we pay you, to build between us and them a wall?”
95. He said, “What my Lord has empowered me with is better. But assist me with strength, and I will build between you and them a dam.”
96. “Bring me blocks of iron.” So that, when he had leveled up between the two cliffs, he said, “Blow.” And having turned it into a fire, he said, “Bring me tar to pour over it.”
97. So they were unable to climb it, and they could not penetrate it.
98. He said, “This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes true, He will turn it into rubble, and the promise of my Lord is always true.”
99. On that Day, We will leave them surging upon one another. And the Trumpet will be blown, and We will gather them together.
100. On that Day, We will present the disbelievers to Hell, all displayed.

Quran 21:96 Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they swarm down from every mound.

Interesting prophecies and similarity.

Orthodox Islam practices similar to Protestants but share similitude with Catholics. Although some have suggested closer to Anabaptist like Amish or Quakers.

Thank you, I read up on it, sad that 7-8 million died as such , hopefully never happens again.

I get the impression, and forgive me if I'm wrong, that you are under the belief that the Catholic Church views Islam and Christianity as equals in both fellowship and veracity. This is not correct in the least. You posted a statement from Lumen Gentium that you viewed as evidentiary, which I believe you have misconstrued.

The RCC views Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc. as "brothers" in the sense of "humanity", but not in a spiritual sense. The RCC acknowledges that all religions have some aspects of truth to them, but that does not mean that they are "true". Even Aztec cannibalism had some true notions of right and wrong, but that does not mean that when taken holistically it was the "true" religion.

Likewise, there are too many tenets of Islam that contradict Christian tenets, and in fact, would negate them. So, while the RCC acknowledges the good aspects of Islam and many of its adherents, that doesn't mean it sees Christianity and Islam standing side by side as Children of Abraham/God against the perils of modernism.

Moreover, many of the conclusions in the Quran about Christianity and the idea that Islam is an extension of Judeo-Christian theology are outrightly rejected. As such, Islam is not seen as an extension of a Judeo-Christian origination; It is a separate entity of its own creation.  

I only write this to clarify any misconception, or potential misconception that may lead to confusion or resentment down the road when the reality is established.

Islam has very beautiful aspects to it, but it is not Christianity and Christianity does not rely, nor needs to rely, on it for substantiation.

There have always been attempts at syncretism, but I believe it will be a stronger and stronger push in the coming centuries.  I believe the adversary desires as a bedrock of the worldly dominon he persues, the spinning of all world religions into a new single one of his own, with all the trappings of religion and virute, but utterly without authentic subjection to the King of Kings which is Jesus Christ.  Christ's kingdom is not of this world and in opposition to the wordly kingdoms shown by the adversary to Jesus in the wilderness.  

Certainly according to the apocalypse the world is united in worshiping falsehood and beheading those few who are faithful to the Lord.  The length and turns of the road between now and then are unseen, yet the road leads there.

I cannot find anything about this "Constantine of Bethlehem" who supposedly authored this book. Not who he is, if he is a he or a she, what they believe, anything. Zilch.

On a very preliminary skim, this looks like the typical "let's try and take current events and than mangle the text of the bible to make those current events say this is the end," which is not a new thing.

News reports are not God's words and should not be treated as such.

I see your point. I was not suggestion the Catholic Church (Christianity as a whole) views Islam as equal or relies on Islam for guidance or substance. My point was commonality as noted in RCC unlike Hinduism or cannibalistic tradition I.E eating flesh, Islam shares much with Christianity, closer than any other faith.

1. One God
2. Immaculate conception of Jesus
3. Mary as the mother of believes
4. Jesus as the anointed Messiah
5. Jesus to return to earth to bring peace.
6. Heaven and Hell
7. Judgement day

Vatican Council and Papal Statements on Islam

..“But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims: these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”

..“The Church has also a high regard for the Muslims. They worship God, who is one, living and subsistent, merciful and almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth (Cf. St. Gregory VII, Letter III, 21 to Anazir [Al-Nasir], King of Mauretania PL, 148.451A.), who has spoken to men. They strive to submit themselves without reserve to the hidden decrees of God, just as Abraham submitted himself to God’s plan, to whose faith Muslims eagerly link their own. Although not acknowledging him as God, they venerate Jesus as a prophet, his Virgin Mother they also honor, and even at times devoutly invoke. Further, they await the day of judgment and the reward of God following the resurrection of the dead. For this reason they highly esteem an upright life and worship God, especially by way of prayer, alms-deeds and fasting.

..The Christian keeps to the solemn commandment: ‘You shall keep no other gods before me’ (Ex 20:30). On his side, the Muslim will always say: ‘God is the greatest.’

I was made aware of the above from my Italian gf who shares direct lineage from above scholars, hence I shared it.

We are all on the same journey and if we don’t have the vocabulary of what we are experiencing, we are to some extent insensitive to what we experience. A Sufi once responded to a question, “ it seems that nilism are people looking at the abyss of nothing, while forgetting about the infinite.

But if I understand correctly, a Muslim can not confess that "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to" Jesus.  Correct?  That we have been given to him, bought at the price of his suffering, death, and in resurection he is now our king?

It's obviously a pen name for Walid Shoebat and others, possibly Andrew Bleszad.

As to your second point:  the gist of the book appears to be that traditional Bible scholars have assumed that the Book of Revelation all takes place in a short period of time, say seven years.

The author(s) contend that it takes place over centuries.

That's an  unfair simplification.  I won't even say I buy it, but the analysis is very intriguing and worth considering.

God and you have differing opinions on that.

Not unique or groundbreaking, but interesting.  He's probably right on many things.

Muslims to not believe in Jesus being God or wanted to be crucified as his prayer was answered,  “Mathew 26:39 allow this cup to pas me and an Angel came to strengthen him”.

Authority is granted by our father whom Jesus prayed unto and I think Jesus answers it best ..”the father is greater than I”. (Mathew 14:28). All the miracles Jesus performed are authorities-empowerment’s, (Luke 11:20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you).

Muslims do not view original sin as inherent (Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him).

Nor in St.Paul’s view of, (1  Corinthians 15:14  and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain) as Jesus said eternal life-salvation (Mathew 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Confession for a Muslim is to Father directly. It’s encouraged to disclose your faults to God, as Jesus said, Mathew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.).

Authority is given to Jesus in all account and when he bring peaces on earth as God wills. Sorry for over answering I wanted to support my understanding.

@imagetcha
Are you saying God condones genocide? If so, I'm going to need some evidence for that.

I'm 99% sure he is referring to the OT

I'm sure, but to read the entire Bible and come away with the idea that God condones genocide...that's a bit of a leap. Even the OT examples of genocide require some qualification.

ETA: Violence against the Canaanites

Markus Zehnder is a well-respected theologian

A main key is to discover who "Israel" really is to The Eternal.

Putin is The Prince Of Rosh, so that agrees with the Gog and Magog in Turkey

God gave all in the land of canaan time to turn around.  Likewise did he for humanity before the flood.  He is under no obligation to tollerate rebellion and wickedness forever.  That he is long suffering and shows mercy (e.g. Nineveh much to Jonah's dismay) is wonderous.  In the end, it's his creation, and his purpose.  We are not equals and exist only by his love and mercy.

Ehm ... as I said, it was just from a very light skim.

I would simply point out that the amill stream of eschatology has (since the first century) treated revelation as a book describing the time in between the crucifixion and judgement day, which is a mite longer than seven years.

God hasn't killed any people for just being a people.

The various groups in the promised land were removed *for their sins.*  As were the israelites, for committing the same sins, and the only reason they weren't wiped clean off the earth was because God has promised to bring salvation through their ethnic line. We humans make a mess of most everything.
