and their VICTIMS

The SIXTH BOWL-PLAGUE is analyzed in this study. 
Revelation PROPHECIES FOCUSED on ASIA, the MIDDLE EAST, and EASTERN PACIFIC NATIONS.

ACTUAL EVENTS and CIRCUMSTANCES strongly indicate that this ALARMING PROPHECY is for LEADERS of the NATIONS of the WHOLE WORLD of the 21st CENTURY. Note the references to the "KINGS" of the EAST and the "KINGS of the WHOLE WORLD" in the text below of the prophecy.

The prophecy is related in Revelation 16:12-16.

12 "And the sixth (angel) poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the KINGS that come from the SUNRISING (the Near East, Asia, and the Eastern Pacific nations)13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS, as it were FROGS: 14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the KINGS of the WHOLE WORLD, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. 15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) 16 And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew HAR-MAGEDON."

This striking artistic creation of a great number of multilayered cylinders in shades of luminous dark to aquamarine blue light rising upwards, an intense white light shining in the centers of each, is selected to project the sudden, spectacular transformation of faithful followers of the “living God” alive on the last day of time from physical beings to heavenly, spiritual ones.

The SUDDEN, SPECTACULAR TRANSFORMATION of the Last Faithful Followers of God and Christ Alive on Planet Earth.

This “SUDDEN TRANSFORMATION” is taught by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4. It is pictured in the vision of the "two witnesses" who go "up to heaven in a cloud." Revelation 11. It is presented in Revelation 14:14-16 as the FIRST HARVEST of Planet Earth's population on the LAST DAY of TIME. It is taught by Jesus Christ himself during his earthly ministry in Luke 21. He says they can “ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS that ARE GOING to TAKE PLACE.” HOW they can do it is explained in this study.

Having been “TRANSFORMED” without experiencing physical death, those faithful followers of God and Christ do not experience the great catastrophes and painful plagues reserved for the unsaved people of the “little time” and the Last Day of Time.

The fantastic and very significant HARMONY of relevant instruction by Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul, and the apostle John is highlighted.

This "TRANSFORMATION" is One of the Last Events to Occur in the Material Universe! Do you know about it and understand it?

The Authentic Kingdom of God, Peaceful, Non-Violent, and Universal, has existed on planet Earth since the year 30 of the Common Era.

Reino-de-Dios-red-pescadores-de-almas-900-Export.jpg

Among the powerful proofs supporting this affirmation are Jesus Christ's parables in Matthew 13, which revolve around the "Kingdom of Heaven." For example, "The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught all kinds of fish..." Matthew 13:17. The "FISH" symbolize human beings, and the "NET" is the "kingdom of heaven," synonymous with the "kingdom of Christ and of God." CONTINUE READING...

Of
NATIONS 
and 
KINGDOMS

“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?” A question King David posed about 3,000 years ago. And, sadly, they continue to do the same in the Third Decade of the 21st Century. Paalms 2:1

If you, Dear Reader, are genuinely troubled by their repeated “RAGING” at each other, competitive conflicts and strivings on every level -political, commercial, cultural, and religious- and, still much worse, by their armed confrontations, pogroms, criminal terrorism, and massive corruption both moral and material- please allow me to respectfully announce to you,  if you are not already aware of it, that a “NATION, a “KINGDOM, absolutely and unequivocably UNLIKE any of the 186 secular and theocratic ones registered with the United Nations, does, indeed, also EXIST TODAY!

The MILLENNIUM of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY guaranteed for a long time by secular leaders and governments NOT deceived by the DARK FORCES of Satan, now is seen to FLUCTUATE and WANE from the negative impact of powerful SOCIAL,  IRRELIGIOUS, SECULAR forces. Revelation 16:12-16; 20:1-10

Then, there is the GREAT MASS of the PURELY SECULAR, the IRRELIGIOUS, and the SECULARIZED, acculturated, materialistic, POLITICIZED, and even militaristic RELIGIOUS, who see MOSTLY BLUE SKIES of “PEACE, PROSPERITY, SECURITY, and physical, material PLEASURE,” with SOME CLOUDS and the SHADOWS and DARKNESS of old age, sickness, and physical death somewhere up ahead. Their SOCIAL, RACIAL, MORAL, CULTURAL, and POLITICAL AGENDAS, generalized, aggressive, and insidious, PUSH, PUSH, PUSH the beautiful blue planet Earth, with its 8 billion human
beings, into the HIGHLY DANGEROUS “LITTLE WHILE.”

Will Planet Earth Continue Existing Eternally?

Only one KEY Bible verse is needed to understand and prove absolutely
that IT WILL NOT. The verse is 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18.

“…while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the THINGS which ARE SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the THINGS which ARE NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.

Since Planet Earth and the universe of which it is a part are "things" that can be "seen," they definitely are TEMPORAL. And, since they are temporal, they absolutely are not eternal! Continue reading. 3-minute read.
