THE WORLD SYSTEM
The Origin.
When God created the angels He made a special angel called Lucifer. He had such beauty, splendor, with great wisdom. He was the anointed one that brought forth the praises and worship from the myriads of angels by the music that was created within him.
Lucifer was actually a kingpriest. He ruled over a third of the angels and he was able to go right into God`s very presence. However, even though he was perfect in all his ways, there came a time
INTRODUCTION
I`m so glad you can join us as we look further into God`s purposes and come to understand more of Him. As the Body of Christ we are `not in darkness that the day (of the Lord) should overtake us as a thief.` (1 Thess. 5: 4) We are children of the light and Christ has given us the Holy Spirit to enlighten our mind to more of His character and His plans.
We live in times of great prophetic fulfilment and as we learn more of His purposes we can ready our hearts to reach out t
The Millennial Kingdom
After the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the defeat and disposal of every hostile & evil power, the time has come for the setting up of Christ`s Millennial Kingdom. This will be a wonderful time of blessing and fruitfulness for the nation of Israel and for those who obey Christ`s rule through them.
`Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the Lord`s house shall
MOURNING TO JOY
The Lord then sends His angels to the four corners of the earth to bring the Jews back to their own land, Israel. There will be no cars, or trains, or planes etc operating after the great earthquake, the Jews will be brought back on horses, mules and camels.
`Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the Lord out of all the nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem.` (Isa. 66: 20)

MAN`S FINAL REBELLION
God had always purposed that Israel would rule righteously over the nations, and this will come about in the millennium. This is the final opportunity for mankind to turn to God without the influence of Satan.
However, we see that many people still want their own way. If that happens then there will be consequences.
`And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there wi
BABYLON
The Director of the Executive Body, begins to exercise great authority not only over the economic sphere of the world but also the Religious.
`And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound healed.
He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by
Christ the Head of the Body.
As the Spirit of God begins to unfold to us the manifold glory of Christ He draws from all the wonders that we see – life, nature, scripture, heaven, the beauties of colour, fruits, jewels and radiant light. Yet these are but representations of the wondrous glory and splendour of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The first vision of Christ is His Pre-eminent position as the Royal High Priest, the Head of the Body of Christ. We are given a full v
The Great Army.
`Persia, Cush, and Phut are with them, all with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops - many people are with you.` (Ez. 38: 5 & 6)
This gives us insight into who aligns with Russia.
Iran - ancient Persia.
Ethiopia - Cush from Ham`s descendants. (Gen. 10: 6)
Motivation.
With civil unrest about to become a way of life for many parts of the world including the U.S, and the pandemic making a resurgence, creating the rationale for the second wave of lock downs, the economy as we know it is being destroyed.
The goal is rather obvious - terrify the population with poverty, internal conflicts and a broken supply chain until they lobby the establishment for help. Then offer the `solution` of medical tyranny, immunity passports, marti
Christ the Royal High Priest.
The details of this vision of the Lord draws upon the imagery of the High Priest ministering in the temple. However this is but a shadow of the true minister of the sanctuary in the heavenlies – the Lord Jesus Christ. (Heb. 8: 1 & 2)
His Character.
`like the Son of Man,
clothed with a garment down to the feet
GLOBAL CURRENCY
With a Global Government, a President and an executive Board there comes the need for a World Currency.
The International Monetary Fund. (IMF)
This is to become the world currency bank. Under this scheme the IMF would be charged with regulating a new global currency.
Collaborating with the World Bank, the IMF would use this new currency for international loans and debt obligations. National and regional currencies would still exist, at least
Steps to the Mark.
There are a few important steps before the Mark can be introduced. We can track these by looking at what has been done, (History) what is being prepared and finally how all the details will be brought together into the Mark.
For the Mark, the implanted chip with your details, to be the means of controlling your finances, there needs to be a change to the present financial & economic system. The present system must be shown to not work efficiently and be the caus
THE HARVEST (Rev. 14: 6 – 20)
We are now shown the great ingathering of the harvest: those to life and those to death.
Three angels go forth bringing proclamations of the judgments to come.
The 3 Proclamations
Life - God`s hand of mercy is still stretched out to those who will repent.
`Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven,

Jesus` Return.
`It shall come to pass in that day that there will be no light; the lights will diminish. It shall be one day which is known to the Lord - neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen that it will be light.` (Zech. 14: 6 & 7)
Zechariah describes a very unusual day. A day in which is neither light nor dark. A day that quite unnaturally becomes light at evening time. This is a specific day, apart from all other days, in that the Lord of hosts and H
Christ`s First Triune Titles.
John is writing to the seven churches in Asia, however they are but a representative of the whole Body of Christ down through the ages who will read this wonderful revelation.
Grace & peace are given from the Father, (who is....was...) the Holy Spirit, (7 fold Spirit) & Jesus Christ.
`John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you & peace from Him who is & who was &
The 7 Bowls of God`s Wrath.
The song of Moses says that `He will avenge the blood of His servants....` (Deut. 32: 43) And His judgment is `just & true.` (Rev. 15: 3) Thus we see that from the `Holy of Holies,` in the heavenly sanctuary comes forth the last judgments.
`After these things I looked, and behold,
the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened,
and out of the
2. Formalism - Dark Ages. (3rd C - 1300`s)
There were many misleading teachings, such as legalism, (laws) Gnosticism, (secret knowing) spiritism, (connecting to evil spirits) ceremonialism, (traditions) and asceticism, (severe regulations), all of which made void of what Christ had done, and obscured His glory. Paul had addressed these false philosophies in his letter to the Colossians, so the believers had the truth to stand against such errors. (Col. 2: 8 - 23)

I have added more detail than the Feasts, however a study from God`s word does reveal -
- when the Holy Spirit was sent to establish the Body of Christ. (John 16: 13)
- when Christ comes to take His body to His throne in glory. (Rev. 3: 21)
- This time frame is called the Day of Christ, plus the specific day when Christ appears for His Body. (1 Thess. 4: 14 - 17)
- when the Lord brings judgments upon the rebellious throughout the tribulation. (Joel 2 & 3, Rev. 8 & 9 ff)

THE FIVE WORLD RULERS
After God judged mankind at Babel the people were scattered, North, South & East. They became different ethnic groups, nations speaking different languages according to Noah`s three sons. Shem`s sons settled in Arabia and to the east, Ham`s sons settled in Africa to the South and Japheth`s sons settled in Europe to the north.
Over time many nations developed around the Middle East. The most powerful nations however, were Assyria in the north and Egypt, in the
CONCLUSION
When God brings the earth and heaven to a close it is then time for the Great White Throne Judgment. This is for all mankind except the Body of Christ and the just men and women, (Old Testament saints).
`Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was no place found for them.` (Rev. 19: 11)
Those who had rejected Christ`s offer of salvation will be cast into the lake of fire. Those who had never he
Rulership in the Third Heaven.
The Body of Christ are the Overcomers.
`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.` (Rev. 3: 21)
The Lord`s seat of power and authority, His throne has been set up in the third heaven. There He will be visible for us to see and relate to.
The Body of Christ will have New Bodies.
`...we shall be changed - for this corruptible must put on incorruption,
4. Evangelical Revivals. (1600 - 1900)
The 17th century gave rise to an intellectual movement called `the Age of Reason.` They believed that humans could do anything if they took control of their own lives. Most `enlightened` thinkers embraced the outlook called Deism - the belief in a God who created the world like a Great watchmaker, then relinquished control of His creation and allowed it to run without intervention and according to certain natural laws.

THE GLOBAL LEADER
When the Peace Treaty is negotiated, the nations of the world will say `Peace and Safety` (security) at last! The leaders of the world gather to hear this person who has achieved peace in the Middle East. The Peace Negotiator`s magnetic personality and superior wisdom will excite and captivate the leaders. He alone will have the answers to the world`s problems.
Statesmen, intellectuals and economists are amazed and unanimously acknowledge that finally ther
My Appreciation.
A big thank you, to everyone who has done this journey with me through the book of Revelation. To focus on the different visions of the Lord that the Father has revealed, gladdens the heart and strengthens the spirit. It is truly amazing to have such wonderful revelation of our Lord as He is known in the heavenly realm.
A special thanks to mabel who has given us such great questions and comments. I`m sure like me you would have enjoyed her humour, and app
