The Bible says, “One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter” (Revelation 9:12). In my last article, “The Silent Pandemic of Mental Illness,” we discussed the first Woe that had its conception in the First Century but was not fully realized until the Sixth Century with the opening of the first mental hospital in Iraq. Today we will discuss the second Woe that also had its beginning in the First Century with a number of heresies coming against the true teachings of our Lord. Like the first Woe, this heresy against the Church would not be fully realized or have its greatest effect upon fallen humanity until the Sixth Century. After the sounding of the sixth trumpet that corresponds with the second Woe, a voice came from the throne of God in heaven directing the angel to, “Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates” (See Revelation 9:13-14). These four bound angels represent four strong powers that would arise and project an even more damaging heresy upon the Christian and Jewish communities. In the Sixth Century, Christians and Jews at the time lived peacefully in the area of the Euphrates River, also known as the Fertile Crescent, until they were conquered by Muslim invaders. These new converts to Islam in time were prepared for future incursions into the known world to kill and destroy (See Revelation 9:15). Continue reading The Second Woe – The Muslim Invasion

The Silent Pandemic of Mental Illness
The last thing the world needs is another pandemic. Yet, this new pandemic of mental illness has been in the works for over two thousand years when the prophet announced the three woes coming soon upon the world (see Revelation 8:13). In its infancy, long before it was ever recognized as an epidemic, few people suffered from mental illness while even fewer souls were classified as being insane. By the sixth century, this all changed. The epidemic was growing exponentially in the East with the first mental hospital constructed in Baghdad, Iraq in 750 AD. By the nineteenth century, the epidemic moved to Europe and then to the United States. With the growing number of mental disorders being cataloged in the “Diagnostic Statistical Manual” the pharmaceutical industry started producing an array of mind-altering drugs to treat every symptom. As the epidemic grew, most people were reluctant to admit to having a mental disorder and they soon became the unseen majority, popping their pills and suffering in silence. This silence caused the closure of many mental hospitals and the rise of numerous counseling centers to handle the sheer number of patients. Mental illness is real, causing a great drain on the world’s economy and the productivity of its workforce. As the world suffers in silence it’s time for God’s prophets to proclaim loudly what’s causing this silent pandemic. Continue reading The Silent Pandemic of Mental Illness
GREAT DECEPTION – Is Not What You Think
When the Antichrist or the Beast of the Book of Revelation finally appears like an angel of light he will not be who he appears to be. The Bible says, “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (II Corinthians 11:14). How can such evil be transformed into what appears to be so holy and righteous? This is the great deception that is already coming upon the whole world. How will God’s children, His faithful remnant, prepare for such a time as this when the entire world is being led astray and are being taught how to worship the Beast, either publicly or in the sanctuary of their own homes? Deception is an interesting concept that must clearly be understood if we are to recognize the signs that are being unveiled. Deception is given one spoonful at a time or by such small measures over time that the larger population will never notice until it’s too late. The other key to understanding deception is that much larger events will be unveiled to take your eyes off what is really happening behind the scenes, one step at a time, to deceive you and the rest of the world population. Deception causes many different events to happen to keep your mind preoccupied, which is one of Satan’s oldest tricks. Continue reading GREAT DECEPTION – Is Not What You Think
Humanity’s Last Prophetic Warning
Oh Lord, let this last prophecy sink deep into the hearts of all humanity contrary to their nationality, belief system, and even their standing on the world stage. Let it even open the eyes of the agnostic to see the majestic glory of your heavenly Kingdom as the ruler and Creator of all that exists. As we fast approach the end, time is running out for humanity. Over two thousand years ago the Revelation was given to the seven churches in Asia, which became a symbol for every church age (Revelation 2:1-3:22). We are now living in the age of the Lukewarm church, which has integrated the teachings of the world with the holy doctrines of Christianity. The whole Revelation is a dynamic prophecy written for every age from the First Century until now leading God’s children to be prepared for every age. Now, most believers in the church of the faithful remnant agree that this is the final age because almost the entire world has turned away from Jesus Christ as Lord. They no longer keep in step with the Spirit, but have integrated the teachings of psychology, other world religions, philosophies, and science leading them into every perversion and further away from God as their Creator.

Final Warning Video
This is an old video produced 13 years ago to encapsulate my theology concerning the Great Tribulation and the visible rapture of God’s faithful remnant. It is also an introduction to my first book written on the subject in 2006, entitled, Final Warning. Although, God has given me more clarity over the years the basic premise concerning the Great Tribulation has not ever changed. There is a great heresy sweeping the planet in preparation for the arrival of Antichrist, which must be dealt with by every believer in Christ.
