Introduction
I believe Christians are not studying the word of God for themselves and just trusting everything
preached in the pulpit or taught in seminaries. Most would rather read a fictional story like the "left
behind" series, then study the source of what the bible says about this subject. I was fortunate
enough to learn from the late Dr. Walter Martin, in the early eighties, (download his teachings at
http://www.anaheimsigns.com/Martin-Walter-Essential-Christianity.pdf
Then known as the Bible answer man. After studying the word and listening to his teachings, I
believe the Bible teaches that the Church will go through the great tribulation.
We all have different beliefs we have formed over the years based on teachings of different
denominations. Some may believe in sprinkling instead of immersion for baptism. Some believe in
speaking in tongues, some believe you can lose and regain your salvation, or some may require
works, as well as faith. I believe as time has gone by, the evil one has been busy whispering in the
ears of godly men and not so godly men. Distorting the Word of God, with well-meaning, albeit false
assumptions, which have turned into questionable doctrines.
I do not know exactly when the seeds of the doctrine of pre-tribulation were planted, Walter
Martin use to say it was a vision of a teenage girl named Margaret Macdonald, in the early 1800's,
whose pastor picked up on it, and in my view, used this to get a sagging church attendance propped
up. Well, because if Jesus can come at any moment, you need to be in church. Walter Martins

There are great Godly teachers out there, who know and understand the word better than I could in
a thousand years. Then there are those who just throw out the parts of the Bible they may not agree
with, or just do not like. I just think this is a doctrine brought on by some good intentioned and not
so well intentioned teachers. Looking to advance their own agendas, instead of Gods. Nevertheless,
some, and I pray most, if not all, will finally see this when the evil one is revealed, and the
tribulation period begins.
The tribulation period for God's people, will be a time to be refined and purified. We are to become
more like Christ in these mortal bodies, and just remain faithful. For the world, this will be a time of
judgment and wrath, because they refused to believe the truth, and be saved, and will believe the
lie, that the devil and his followers will present:

2 Thessalonians 2 English Standard Version (ESV)
THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS
2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,
we ask you, brothers,[a] 2
not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a
spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
3
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first,
and the man of lawlessness[b]
is revealed, the son of destruction,[c] 4
who opposes and exalts
himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of
God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told
you these things? 6
And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his
time. 7
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so
until he is out of the way. 8
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will
kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9
The
coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
10
and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the
truth and so be saved. 11
Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe
what is false, 12
in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.

My Interpretation.
When Jesus prophesied about the end times, he went into detail with his disciples, about some of
the things that would happen during the last days. He also foretold of half of the chosen being
"unwise", before He returns in Glory, and forfeits their eternal birthright. Matthew 25:12 below
says, he answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you", and are eternally shut out
of God's kingdom.
Matthew 25:1-13 (ESV)
1
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the
bridegroom.
2
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3
For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,
4
but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5
As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
6
But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’
7
Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9
But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to
the dealers and buy for yourselves.’
10
And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in
with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
11
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’
12
But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
They are all called virgins ready to meet the bridegroom. Nevertheless, something happens during
this time, causing them to become "unwise". I believe verse 3 below explains the lack of
preparation on their part.
2
3
4
but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. Earlier in Matthew 24 Jesus said:
15
“So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in
the holy place (let the reader understand),
16
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17
Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house,
18
and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak."
Jesus said when you see these things we are supposed to flee. Are we just supposed to head for the
hills and hope manna rains from heaven? It may, and I do believe God will provide for some this

6
way. God does prepare a place for Israel Elect. The 144,000 who are chosen and sealed (finally
believing that Jesus is the Messiah, Hallelujah!) , at the middle of the tribulation. In Revlation 12:
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to
be nourished for 1,260 days. He has instructed the church elect to do the same, previously in
Matthew. He gives us the places we need to be, as well as how long we need to prepare for. This is
the halfway point of the tribulation. This means we will have to survive, three and half years in the
wilderness. The unwise do not prepare for this. In verse 8, they come to the wise that did prepare,
but for the sake of their own well-being, and making sure they have enough supplies for their own
needs, must turn them away.
8
And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our
lamps are going out.’ 9
But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and
for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’
I believe these Christians are so convinced that Jesus was going to come and rescue them from this
time that they refuse to accept the truth, and once again fall into the similar line given to Eve in the
garden." Did God really say you would die?" here "Just take this mark and live". No one will be able
to buy or sell, without receiving the mark of the beast. Look what it says in Verse 9-11:
Revelation 14:9-13 (ESV)
9
And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the
beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10
he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and
he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of
the Lamb.
11
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night,
these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12
Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and
their faith in Jesus.
I believe the word "anyone" is all-inclusive, including believers. See what it says to the saints. We
are called to endure, to keep the commandments of God and our faith in Jesus. We are called to trust
no matter what our circumstances may be. We may be tortured or killed.
7
Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it
over every tribe and people and language and nation,
8
and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before
the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
9
If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10
If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
Call me sick, but this is as exciting as being alive when Christ was born. We have a chance to prove
our allegiance to our Lord and Savior, and I believe we will be blessed beyond anything we can

7
think or imagine, if we just prepare and endure, whatever our fate may be. Look what Jesus says in
verse 14-17:
9
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation,
from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb,
clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
10
and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb!”
11
And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living
creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12
saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and
might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from
where have they come?”
14
I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great
tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15
“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and
he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any
scorching heat.
17
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to
springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
The believers in verse 14 that are fortunate enough to go through this period, and take a stand
against the antichrist, false prophet, and the beast, will be serving in the temple of God. I look
forward to taking a stand against this fool who thinks he can conquer God. I do not mean standing
toe to toe; I want to be as far away from this beast as possible. He will have the ability to strike
those dead who refuse to worship him. I mean taking a stand against the wisdom of the world. By
trusting in what the Word of God says, preparing as forewarned, and pray, the Lord willing, he will
see me through this time, and I might be one of those who do not have to taste death, but might be
one of those transformed in an instant as Paul prophesied:
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (ESV)
51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
I have heard all the arguments, and there are tons of websites that debate the post verses pre-
tribulation doctrines,. I am not going into great depths on that aspect of it. However, I will just say I
believe the pre-tribulation rapture has a ZERO percent chance of happening. There are too many
inconsistencies' and problems with the timing issue for one thing. Jesus himself said:
29
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will

8
not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be
shaken.
30
Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will
mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory.
31
And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Though he did say no one knows the exact day or hour of His return, (although I do believe as that
day gets closer we will know the exact days, since we are told the exact amount of days, or in this
case the 7 year period), known as Daniel's 70th week. It has to fall within the Jewish calendar and it
has to happen on The Day of Atonement. I do not agree with setting dates, but I do believe the
timing of this can only happen in certain calendar years. If we follow the Jewish calendar, it may be
closer than we think. Although the writers at the end of this section believe Jesus will return on this
day, I believe it will be the start if the tribulation, and it will be the man of sin who enters the scene.
I do believe Jesus would know whether He was coming either before, during, or after the
tribulation. The very first word in verse 29 settles that one for me. The following verses are also
ones that have contradictory issues.
Verse 29 of Mathew 24: Jesus said: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, " he will:
"gather together His elect from the four winds". I do not know about you, but I have accepted the
finished work of the cross, and am a Christ follower, I believe, we are called his Chosen or Elect,
there is no declaration of Israel elect (who accept Christ and are sealed with the Holy Spirit at the
halfway point of the tribulation REV 12), or the church elect. Here in this verse, they are gathered
together immediately after the tribulation. Then again in:
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman
who had given birth to the male child.
14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent
into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
15 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with
a flood.
16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the
river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.
17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her
offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he
stood on the sand of the sea.
Some Theologians' say that there is a Church elect and an Israel elect, and that the elect mentioned
in Revelation is not the Church elect, but Israel elect. But verse 17 of Revelation 12 says:" he was
enraged with the women"(the redeemed nation of Israel or Israel elect)" and went to make war

9
with the rest of her offspring"(The Church elect)" who keep the commandments of God and have
the testimony of Jesus Christ". This has to be the church in the tribulation.
Another problem is that Jesus referenced in Matthew, the Prophet Daniel:
Daniel 12:1-3 (ESV)
1
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at
that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the
book.
2
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3
And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn
many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Here it clearly says the resurrection will be a onetime event with both the dead righteous and dead
unrighteous.
Revelation 14 says it is a one time event. Verse 16 below is the rapture of the chosen. The dead in
Christ are raised here, along with those who are still alive in Christ. Raised and instantly
transformed into Glorified bodies. Then it says we are sitting on the clouds with our Savior, literally
floating. I do not think he, or us for that matter, since we will have glorified bodies like His, will be
in need of a cloud to stand on. Then we watch, as the rest of the dead, and those who are still alive
on the earth, will have rapture as well, (verse 18) but their destination will be the great winepress
of God's wrath look at verse 19.
:
14
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with
a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.
15
And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the
cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is
fully ripe.”
16
So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17
Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
18
And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he
called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the
clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.”
19
So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and
threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

10
20
And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high
as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
I believe Jesus taught a one time event called the day of the Lord. Revelation teaches a one time
event, from the above verse, and Daniel Foretold of a one time event. I also believe the apostle Paul
Taught the same thing. In his letters to the Corinthians, he preached Jesus coming at the last
trumpet, which will happen on the day of the lord.
1 Corinthians 15:50-58 (ESV)
50 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the
perishable inherit the imperishable.
51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on
immortality.
54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall
come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
Then in Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians. I do not understand how Paul could be teaching
the pre-tribulation position. If Paul were teaching this, why would the Thessalonians write Paul to
ask if that day had come? This was a strong church, look what Paul says about them. 7so that you
became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. ,
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (ESV)
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,
3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of
hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,
5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and
with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with
the joy of the Holy Spirit,

11
7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your
faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.
9 For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you
turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from
the wrath to come.
This was a well-founded church in the Teachings of Paul, they were examples for other believers to
follow, I would say, a church that could be assured of being raptured. Would they be writing to say
hey Paul, did we miss the rapture? No, I believe they saw some terrifying events, and they were
asking Paul if it was time to do what Jesus said to do in Matthew 24:16,
15
“So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in
16
17
18
and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
19
And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
20
Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
21
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world
until now, no, and never will be.
22
And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of
the elect those days will be cut short.
And this happens at the halfway point of the 7 year period according to Daniel:
Daniel 12:8-13 (ESV)
8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these
things?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act
wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes
desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.
12 Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days.

12
13 But go your way till the end. And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of
the days.”
Paul's second letter reaffirms to them what to look for before they are to head for the hills. Verse
three states: "that day will not come (the day to flee to the wilderness) unless the falling away
comes first and the man of sin is revealed".
2 Thessalonians 2:1-15 (ESV)
1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we
ask you, brothers,
2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter
seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first,
and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes
his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he
is out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his
mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and
wonders,
10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth
and so be saved.
11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God
chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our
spoken word or by our letter.
We are suppose to use our resources to see us through this time. I like the Amplified Bibles
interpretation of this verse, that clarifies the flasks of oil issue.
Amplified Bible, Matthew 24:
44
You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not
expect Him.

13
45
Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of
his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
46
Blessed (happy, fortunate, and [x]
to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes,
he will find so doing.
47
I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
48
But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone
a long time,
49
And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of
which he is not aware,
51
And will punish him [[y]
cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites);
there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Having said that, I will explain my theory on how I believe this will unfold. In addition, how it is part
of the evil one, grand scheme to deceive the elect, and forfeit their eternal birthright to the
unforgivable sin, which I believe is explained in Revelation: Accepting the mark of the beast!
9
And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the
beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10
he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and
he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of
the Lamb.
11
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night,
these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12
Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and
their faith in Jesus.
13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their
deeds follow them!”
Look at verse 9, and again in 11, it clearly says that "anyone"and "whoever". This is all-inclusive;
this is the unforgivable sin. And yes Christian if you are alive during this time, and have not
prepared for this, this is what 1 John 5:16-17 states:

14
"If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to
those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make
request for this.
To whom is the letter addressed to? "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin, not leading to
death", he is talking to believers here. He says there is ONE sin that leads to death. I believe by
accepting the mark of the beast, you will forfeit your eternal birthright. You are rejecting the word
of God, by not preparing for this time, as warned by Jesus Himself, and will be seduced into
accepting the mark of the beast, which in reality is putting your trust and worship in this beast,
thus denying, doubting, and forsaking, the power of God's Holy Spirit to see you through this time of
tribulation.
Then in Revelation 20 when Satan is bound for the 1000-year reign of Christ, again look at the
warnings, "anyone who worships the beast, or its image, and receives the mark", will not reign
with Christ. Only those who sacrificed their lives, for Christ, who took a stand, prepared as
forewarned, and did not receive the mark of the beast, are allowed to enter into God's Kingdom.
4
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was
committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and
for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not
received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for
a thousand years. 5
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.
This is the first resurrection. 6
Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection!
Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they
will reign with him for a thousand years.
Here is the site I mentioned above, of course they think Jesus is coming on this day, but I believe
the man of sin may be revealed on this day.

Dear Doves,
There are 2,550 days in the seven years before the Second Coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ to fulfill the Fall Feasts.
There are 2,550 days in seven years ie. 364.25 days per year X 7 years = 2,550
days
There are 2,550 days in 85 Hebrew months in seven years ie. 30 days per month
X 85 months = 2,550 days

15
There are 2,550 days in the '70th Week of Daniel' ie. 1,260 plus 1,290 = 2,550
days
Beginning on Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets 'fully come' September 26, 2014
(to and including) the Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur September 16, 2021
THERE ARE EXACTLY 2,550 DAYS. THIS IS THE ONLY SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD IN
THE NEAR FUTURE THAT FITS.
2011 to 2018 = 2,546 days
2012 to 2019 = 2,578 days
2013 to 2020 = 2,580 days
2014 to 2021 = 2,550 days *******
2015 to 2022 = 2,577 days
Come Lord Jesus!

Cast Down - The Arrival.
We all know and understand the first deception- in Genesis 3 at the Garden of Eden. The evil one
entices Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in direct disobedience
to God's command. God will use the tree again, (not the exact tree), this time to show his mercy to
fallen man. All the while, the Evil one is still whispering in ears, did God really say that? In his
ongoing desire to distort the word of God, and to deceive and destroy Gods chosen people. With the
ultimate goal of sitting on God's throne, and being worshipped as God:
Isaiah 14:12-14 (ESV)
12
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the
ground, you who laid the nations low!
13
You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on
high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;
14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
This beast has high aspirations and will do anything in his means to achieve his futile goal. He has
been able to convince one third of created angelic beings to follow him. In addition, will convince
the entire world, he is not whom Christians and the two witnesses' will expose him as: The man of
sin.
7
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon
and his angels fought back,
8
but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
9
And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,
the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown
down with him.
10
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the
kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers
has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
11
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
for they loved not their lives even unto death.
12
Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea,
for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
He has offered up some type of ruling status for his followers, and plans on dividing God's kingdom
among themselves:

17
Daniel 11:36-39 (ESV)
36 “And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god,
and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is
accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done.
37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not
pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he
shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who
acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide
the land for a price.
I believe the next big event leading to Christ's returns is not the rapture, explained in Revelation 12:
THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON
12 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her
feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2
She was pregnant and was crying out in birth
pains and the agony of giving birth. 3
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red
dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. 4
His tail swept down a
third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman
who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5
She gave birth
to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up
to God and to his throne, 6
and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place
prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
SATAN THROWN DOWN TO EARTH
7
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon
and his angels fought back, 8
but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in
heaven. 9
And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil
and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels
were thrown down with him. 10
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation
and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the
accuser of our brothers[a]
has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our
God. 11
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. 12
Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and
you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in
great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
13
And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman
who had given birth to the male child. 14
But the woman was given the two wings of the great
eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. 15
The serpent poured water like a river out of

18
his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16
But the earth came to the help of
the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured
from his mouth. 17
Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on
the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony
of Jesus. And he stood[b]
on the sand of the sea.
Now the million-dollar question is how he and his fallen beings present themselves. There could
perhaps be hundreds of thousands, if not more, a nation of evil. Will they just appear and
transform into human bodies like the Terminator movie? Will they beam down on some remote
Island or jungle? I do not think they will be flying in with their wings, since they will have lost
most of their spiritual powers, as quoted in Isaiah 14:
9
Sheol beneath is stirred up
to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
all who were kings of the nations.
10
All of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12
“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
13
You said in your heart,
‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north;[c]
14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15
But you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
16
Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,
17
who made the world like a desert

19
and overthrew its cities,
who did not let his prisoners go home?’
18
All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
each in his own tomb;[d]
19
but you are cast out, away from your grave,
like a loathed branch,
clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
who go down to the stones of the pit,
like a dead body trampled underfoot.
20
You will not be joined with them in burial,
because you have destroyed your land,
you have slain your people.
“May the offspring of evildoers
nevermore be named!
21
Prepare slaughter for his sons
because of the guilt of their fathers,
lest they rise and possess the earth,
and fill the face of the world with cities.”
Some day in the near future:
"We interrupt this program to bring you this special bulletin from the national aeronautics and
space administrations, satellite listening program. Our deep search space explorer has picked up
a clear signal indicating some sort of intelligent life form, sending out signals and trying to make
contact with our explorer. We have just programmed the explorer to send out different coded
languages as well computer code. Please stand by for further updates".
I know you are thinking, ok, he has gone off the deep end. Really! Aliens. Just stick with me for
the sake of argument. I do believe there is evidence of people seeing UFO's, and a majority of
people believe in alien life forms. I believe they are all demonic manifestations, all being part of
the setup. These beings will not be cave dwellers; in fact, they may have some, superhuman or
supernatural abilities, possibly some distinguishing, so called evolved features or DNA
markings. They will be highly intelligent; in fact, they will have seen the things of God from the
spiritual side. If we humans are capable of making and inventing such great things, I have a good
suspicion these beings have already built what they need in anticipation of this day.
How they present themselves to the human race is crucial, I am sure they have thought it out and
have been setting this up for centuries, knowing this day would come. They cannot just come in
as a conquering nation, because we have the abilities to destroy them as well. I think they have
other ideas on presenting themselves.
"We interrupt this program to bring you this special update from NASA. We have made contact
with a foreign computer code. Our engineers are deciphering their coding so we can establish a

20
mutual understanding, dialogue, and or some type of uplink, to communicate directly with the
source of the code. We have established that the signal is coming from an area of the galaxy,
which has been determined to have possible earth like planets that could support life. We will
soon have a live feed for the whole world to see".
Just think the whole world would be in a state of fear and shock. Wondering what this could
possibly be, and anticipating the worst. All the movies we have seen. Will this be like the movie
independence day; where the aliens just come in and start wiping out the human race? On the
other hand, will it be like the series "V" where they came to harvest us as food. We have all seen
the depictions of aliens. Nevertheless, I believe this has been part of the plan of deception. As
ninety percent of humanity is glued to some sort of video device or cell phone in anticipation of
what is about to take place, the announcement comes through;
"We have established an uplink that will allow us to communicate directly with the source of the
incoming code." An intriguing, looking figure appears on the screens of billions of viewers
around the world. Imagine the relief of those who see a good-looking human being like figure,
appearing very un-alien like. A strange dialect comes from the figure. Their language translated
by their advanced computer systems; heard in each person's own dialect, although I do believe
they will be able to understand and communicate all dialects.
"Greetings, I am one of the leaders of our nation. We apologize if we have frightened you. Our
species has been interacting with this planet for eons. We come from a planet very similar to this
one. Over the last century, our planet has become uninhabitable. We have been observing from a
distance, and see very similar circumstances happening to your planet. It is now in the early
stages of environmental collapse. When we were at this stage, we did not listen to our scientist,
we did develop means to change the course of our predicament, but it was too late, and our
climate cannot sustain life."
"Now are only hope of survival is this planet. We believe we can help you turn the environment
around to a long lasting sustainable environment for all of us. You are the only hope of our
survival. We have searched the vast galaxies and this is the last planet that can sustain life. We
cannot do this by ourselves; it will take the cooperation of the entire planet. We have brought our
technology; we have cures for many of your diseases, since your DNA is similar to ours, and
have brought great treasures to share with the world". You see, God gives us a glimpse of how
this being will seduce the world. In Daniel 11:
36
“And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every
god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the
indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37
He shall pay no attention to the
gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god,
for he shall magnify himself above all. 38
He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A
god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and
costly gifts. 39
He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those

21
who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall
divide the land for a price.
With the mentality of the world feeling like they are entitled to just about anything and
everything, it will be like stealing candy from a baby. He will have so much to offer, not only
riches, but also technology well beyond anything we have ever seen. I believe they will have the
cures for some of our diseases. They will also have some relics from our past, to solidify their
lie. They will know all about our history, our cultures, and the influential historical figures of our
past. I think they will interweave themselves with history, and proclaim that some earthlings may
already have some of their DNA markings, to prove they have been interacting in our past. He
also will make some sort of pact in order to bring peace to the fighting factions of Islam and
other nations; He may even insinuate some kind of connection with the Prophet or Islam, in
order to gain access to the temple mount.
Daniel 9: 27 29
“At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this
time as it was before. 30
For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and
withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall
turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31
Forces from him shall
appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And
they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32
He shall seduce with flattery those who
violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33
And
the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble
by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34
When they stumble, they shall receive a little
help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35
and some of the wise shall
stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it
still awaits the appointed time.
As part of the deception, they will have answers for some of life's questions, the destruction of
the dinosaurs, the climate, the explanation of evolution, and will try to explain away the truth.
Except for a select group of people, who will become the scum of the earth, because we will
know and understand this being for what he is: the man of sin. "But the people who know their
God shall stand firm and take action". What action do you believe God is referring to here? Well,
if we go back to Matthew 24, I believe Christ told us exactly what to do:
15
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in
16
17
18
and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
19
And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
20
Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
21
until now, no, and never will be.
22
And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of
the elect those days will be cut short

22
We are forewarned in the next chapter what to do prior to this event, and continuing up to the
actual abomination that makes desolate.
1
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the
bridegroom.
2
3
4
5
As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
6
But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’
7
Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9
But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to
the dealers and buy for yourselves.
The Wise ones prepared. The difference between the wise and foolish was preparation. We have
3 ½ years to prepare for this, and are going to require many flasks.

The evil one has wisely portrayed himself as some sort of monstrous, red tailed, dragon looking
being. Here we have this good-looking being, in a human body. He will be allowed by The
Savior to take on human flesh, thus becoming the man of sin, (for his ultimate destruction at
Christ's second coming. When the Lord will destroy the devil, his followers, and those who
refuse to believe the truth).
The Christian zealots, will be the lone holdouts on his evolution explanation to humankind, of
how their ancestors' are responsible, for introducing religion to man. They will even have the
DNA evidence to prove it. When confronted with this overwhelming evidence, and Christians
refusing to believe it, we will become the outcasts of the world, and in some instances
persecuted, and possibly killed in some areas of the world, Revelation 13:
5
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed
to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against
God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a]
that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7
Also it was
allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b]
And authority was given it over every
tribe and people and language and nation, 8
and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone
whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the
Lamb who was slain. 9
If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10
If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

23
The last verse is our call to endure during this time, It's up to our Father in heaven, as to who will
be the fortunate ones who do not have to face death, but will be one of those who changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye..
1 Corinthians 15:
50
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the
perishable inherit the imperishable. 51
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, 52
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Revalation 7:
13
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from
where have they come?”
14
I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great
tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15
“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and
he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any
scorching heat.
17
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to
springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

24
Distorting the Truth "The Diatribe"
CNN Interview:
"Can you go into detail about your past?"
"Throughout our history, as our ancestors developed the capabilities of intergalactic space travel,
they became aware of the possibility of other life forms in the vastness of the cosmos. As
explorations began, they discovered this solar system. Since that time, our species have occasionally
returned, for minerals, microbes, and plant life forms, are planet was lacking. We had observed the
near total destruction of this planet, and wanted to preserve some of its life forms, when an asteroid
nearly made this planet uninhabitable, we became concerned with the possibilities of our own
planet facing the same fate.
An asteroid has not destroyed our planet. While we have the technology for intergalactic space
travel, we have the technology to reverse the damage we did to our environment. We failed to scale
back on our atmospheric footprint. We did not listen to the warnings from our scientific
community. We were in the advancing stages of global warming, much like this planet at the
present. By not making the suggested changes, it actually spiraled to a point of no return faster than
forecasted.
We can show you how to avoid the mistakes we made. We are not coming to you and asking for
handouts, our survivability as well as your future, require we work together in the hopes of not
becoming extinct. We offer to the whole world our vast fortunes; we want to share our cures for
your many diseases. In addition, our advanced technology, that will help in changing the planet for
future generations.
We do not require any of your choice lands. We will seek out your uninhabitable areas of the world,
where no one else could survive. We have the technology and means to turn a vast desert into a
living paradise. Watch as we take your melting glaciers that are raising your sea levels, and
transform deserts into farmland from them. In addition, keeping your coastal cities from
catastrophe. Our ancestors turned your deserts into monuments for their own legacy, by building
pyramids, this time we will turn it into paradise.
You see, we do not come to you as strangers or aliens; we know all about your history, in fact, our
ancestors have historically influenced some of your well-known people of the past. Also mentioned
in your history book called the Bible; The People called us the sons of God, since we appeared to
them, much the same way we are appearing to you today."
I can't imagine exactly how this being is going to present his deceptive web of lies to humanity.
Deceiving the world and the evolutionist is the easy part. He has to appease the religious as well,
especially the Muslims, who happen to be looking for the next prophet to come. He will

25
acknowledge Jesus as a historical figure, but deny His Divinity. He has no choice, because of the two
witnesses'.
THE TWO WITNESSES
11 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of
God and the altar and those who worship there, 2
but do not measure the court outside the temple;
leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two
months. 3
And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,
clothed in sackcloth.”
4
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5
And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If
anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6
They have the power to shut
the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the
waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they
desire.
He has to acknowledge the fact that Jesus was a real person. These two will be preaching the
truth. He will have to explain away what they are saying. My theory is that he will somehow try
to establish that these two are the last descendants of Christ believers from their planet. They
refuse to accept the fact their ancestors, somehow we're the ones who impregnated Mary with
artificial insemination. That they are responsible for removing Jesus body from the tomb, but
these two beings (witnesses) refuse to accept it and still believe Jesus is or was a God. So just,
like the believers of today, attacked for their beliefs, even demonized for believing that Jesus is
God, and the only exclusive way to eternal life.
God puts these two here in order to keep the set times that He has ordained as the last days. Even
the devil will not be able to touch these two, until the set time ordained by God, verse 5 from
Revelation says: And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes
their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. I don’t believe the
evil one will try to take out these two himself, because of their power, but will diminish and
cause, some extremists in the region, to blow them up, but God will intervene. Daniel 7:
25
He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for a time, times, and half a time.
Gods set time for the two witnesses to complete their testimony; will be preceded by the Devil,
the beast, and the false prophet, forming their counterfeit trinity. When the beast is brought back
to life, from its apparent death, (it will be counterfeit in some way), the devil's lie will be, "Look,
our evolution is complete, he is the first of our kind to overcome death, he cannot die, and will
live forever". "Our species have now reached the point of overcoming death and will become
gods."(thus fulfilling his promise to the fallen angels.) This beast will have the power to kill.

26
Revelation 13:11
Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it
spoke like a dragon. 12
It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c]
and makes
the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13
It
performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14
and
by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d]
the beast it deceives those who dwell
on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet
lived. 15
And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the
beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to
be slain.
I believe the false prophet will be the Leader of the Catholic Church, who forms this alliance
with the beasts and elevates the resurrected beast status, equal to Christ's resurrection, and
encourages worshiping the beast, thus becoming the adulterous church, much in the same way
they worship Mary, and some of the saints of the past.. Just look at what catholic.net has to say
on the subject. http://www.catholic.net/index.php?option=dedestaca&id=410
Alien Life Out There
Vatican astronomer’s take on extraterrestials.
by Edward Pentin | Source: NCRegister.com
VATICAN CITY (NCRegister.com) — Extraterrestrials: Do they exist?
The head of the Vatican Observatory thinks there’s a good chance they do, and that
their existence would be in keeping with the faith.
In a May 14 interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano May 14,
headlined “The Extraterrestrial Is My Brother,” astronomer Jesuit Father José Gabriel
Funes said that according to his “scientific judgment,” the existence of extraterrestrials
is a “possibility.”
“Astronomers contend that the universe is made up of a hundred billion galaxies, each
of which is composed of hundreds of billions of stars,” he said. “Many of these, or
almost all of them, could have planets. [So] how can you exclude that life has
developed somewhere else?”
The Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the
world, and has its headquarters at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo just
outside Rome.
Its main research telescopes, however, are located at the University of Arizona in
Tucson.

27
Father Funes, who took over as head of the observatory in 2006, denied that the
existence of other intelligent life-forms would contradict Christian belief.
“As there exist many creatures on earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent,
created by God,” he said. “This doesn’t contradict our faith because we cannot put
limits on the creative freedom of God. To say it as St. Francis [of Assisi], if we consider
some earthly creatures as ‘brother’ and ‘sister,’ why couldn’t we also talk of an
‘extraterrestrial brother’? He would also belong to creation.”
The Argentine Jesuit explained that scientists studying the question of extraterrestrial
life have made much progress in recent years, and will soon be able to identify if other
planets have the conditions necessary for life. He added that, in theory, forms of life
could also exist in parts of the universe without oxygen and hydrogen.
Redemption
When asked how aliens could be redeemed, Father Funes referred to the Gospel
parable of the lost sheep. Aliens, he speculated, could already be redeemed because
they could have remained in full friendship with God, while the human race “could be
precisely the lost sheep, the sinners that need the shepherd.”
But what if they were sinners like us? Father Funes replied that just as Jesus is believed
to have come to save mankind, so he was sure that they, “in some way, would have
the chance to enjoy God’s mercy.”
Father Funes’ comments are not novel: Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, a fellow
astronomer at the observatory, discussed similar themes in a booklet he wrote for the
Catholic Truth Society in 2005.
The question has also been debated within the Church since the Middle Ages and was
discussed by Christian apologist C.S. Lewis, whose fictional “Space Trilogy” featured
extraterrestrial beings.
In an essay Lewis wrote in 1958, originally called “Will We Lose God in Outer
Space?”and later retitled “Religion and Rocketry,” he argued that the existence of
intelligent extraterrestrial life would not necessarily contradict Christian theology.
And like Father Funes, Lewis said it was possible that such beings, if they exist, might
have fallen from a state of grace and in that case might be redeemed through God’s
mercy. Lewis added that it was even possible that other beings with souls might be
redeemed through Christ’s sacrifice for the redemption of humanity at Calvary, citing St.
Paul’s comment in Romans 8:19-23 that the whole of creation is longing to be delivered
from slavery and that this deliverance will occur only when Christians fully exercise the
“glorious liberty” conferred on them.

28
If intelligent life did exist, had fallen and could not be redeemed by God, either through
Christ or in another way, this could pose a challenge to the Christian faith, Lewis
acknowledged.
But, he said, “I think a Christian is sitting pretty if his faith never encounters more
formidable difficulties than these conjectural phantoms.”
Added Lewis, “Christians and their opponents again and again expect that some new
discovery will either turn matters of faith into knowledge or else reduce them to patent
absurdities. But it never happens.”
Brother Guy believes there have been no theological statements on the subject by the
Vatican apart from one allegedly made in the 1950s that he has so far been unable to
track down.
Nonetheless, contrary to many reports in the secular press, Father Funes’ comments to
L’Osservatore Romano do not represent an official Vatican statement but remain merely
his personal views.
However, the fact they were published in the Vatican newspaper signifies support of the
wider Church for the acceptability of his position regarding the possible existence of
intelligent aliens.
“Essentially, it is evidence that the Vatican hierarchy agrees that there’s no problem,”
Brother Guy said May 14.
He also added that the article’s publication is an “indication of its support” for the
observatory following “inaccurate reporting” in some secular newspapers last year that
the Jesuit astronomers had been told to leave their home at the papal summer
residence.
Vatican on Darwin
Elsewhere in the L’Osservatore interview, Father Funes said that science and religion
need each other and noted many astronomers believe in God.
“Science and religion are two allies that elevate the human spirit,” he explained, quoting
Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. “There can be tensions or conflicts, but we
mustn’t be afraid. The Church mustn’t fear science and its discoveries.”
The Vatican is demonstrating its willingness to dialogue constructively with science by
sponsoring initiatives that discuss scientific theories and discoveries. Next March, the
Pontifical Council for Culture, in association with the University of Notre Dame, will host

29
a Rome conference marking the 150th anniversary of the On the Origin of Species,
Charles Darwin’s seminal work on the theory of evolution.
Conference organizers say the meeting is intended to chart a middle course between
the antagonistic ideological positions of an antireligious metaphysical evolutionism and
a fundamentalist creationism based in a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis.
Another co-sponsor of the Darwin conference is the Rome-based “Science, Theology
and the Ontological Quest,” also known as the STOQ project. Six pontifical universities
are participating in the STOQ project with the objective of improving dialogue between
science and philosophy.
“We hope this will really be an example of how to hold an open discussion without
overtones,” said Professor Gennaro Auletta, director of the specialization “Science and
Philosophy” at the Pontifical Gregorian University and a leading contributor to the STOQ
project. “We simply wish to dialogue between people whose mission is to understand a
little more.”

I do believe Catholics that have accepted and trust in the finished work of the cross, are living out
their lives as Christ, and not trusting in the other aspects of Catholicism for salvation, are believers.
I disagree with their doctrines, which I will not go into detail. However, I think the leaders of this
church will not accept the possibilities, that these beings could be the man of sin and his fallen
angels as described in Revelation 12.
9
And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient
serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown
down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
The Catholic leaders will accept these beings as part of god's creation. I would just implore
Catholics to prepare for this time and refuse to be seduced by the pope's acceptance of this lie.
17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show
you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of
the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the
dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and
I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads
and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels
and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual
immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of
prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints,
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.[a]

30
When the Word is talking about sexual immorality here, it is in the spiritual sense. Believers are the
bride of Christ. To be united (married in a sense) with Christ at his return, and rule with Him for a
thousand years. This is the promise for those who have accepted the finished work of the cross.
This once great church founded on the apostle Peter, will lead its followers to accept and worship
the beast as God. I suspect these believers are part of the "unwise brides" mentioned in Matthew,
who will worship the beast by accepting its mark. Will you believe in the biblical story of creation,
and the promise of Jesus to return for those who remain faithful?
Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it
spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the
earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs
great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs
that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling
them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was
allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and
might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all,
both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] to be marked on the right hand or
the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast
or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the
number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. On the other hand, will
you believe we evolved as will be espoused by the Catholic Church leaders, and elevate this being to
a god, bowing down and accepting its mark or risk facing death?

31
Seeking Wilderness. Prepare!
I cannot tell you how to survive during this time. It will be different for each individual. I do
know Jesus told us to flee for three and half years. We will need shelter, water, food, and I dare
say some sort of self-defense, Jesus did say in Luke 22 to sell your tunic and purchase a sword.
35
And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you
lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36
He said to them, “But now let the one who has a
moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and
buy one.
I also know we will have 3.5 years to prepare. You may be a survivalist type, and be able to
survive quite nicely in the wilderness. Others are going to need someone to care for them during
this time. I know I have family who will need taking care of, as well some in our church.
Although I am praying and hoping, we will see a lot of God's supernatural work and healing,
since the spiritual dark forces have lost their place in the heavenly realm. Rev 12:12 Therefore,
rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has
come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” All of heaven will be
rejoicing on this day. They no longer have to deal with the evil one, and Jesus will soon destroy
these beings and take His rightful place as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
I will share what I believe we should do. First, whatever your ambitions in this life are, just
forget about it. Forget about planning a career. I would continue to work to make more money,
but we will need to sell off all of our assets and retirement plans, everything, and purchase a
place where we can survive. Forget about college, the military or missionary work, the new
mission will be survival. It is time to get a job and start supporting a church. If you are in the
military, get out, so what if they give you a dishonorable discharge. You are not going to make
enough money to provide for yourself or your family. Those that do not have jobs can be
working on getting your survival place ready. I would say if you were planning children, to do
so, before we take flight, once the second half of the tribulation starts, you would not be able to
go to a hospital. So once again, get back to your roots, find a church of people you are
comfortable with, three and half years with the same people could be a challenge for some.
If you are one of those Easter and Christmas Christians, you need to find a body of believers, and
start learning what it means, to follow Christ. Jesus said pick up your cross and follow Him. We
all know where that leads, death! This is going to be a time that is described in Mathew 24:21
until now, no, and never will be. Some will face death, in standing for what they believe. Is your
faith strong enough to confront death face to face, and make a stand for Christ? Or will you be
one of those that stand before Christ as stated in verse 12 below:

32
2 TIMOTHY 2 ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION (ESV)
A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST JESUS
2 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2
and what you have
heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to
teach others also. 3
Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4
No soldier gets
entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5
An athlete is
not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6
It is the hard-working farmer who ought
to have the first share of the crops. 7
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you
understanding in everything.
8
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel,
9
for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!
10
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation
that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11
The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13
if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
I cannot tell each group of believers what they will need to do to survive during this time. You
may have someone in your church that has property. It will need to be remotely located. I would
suggest some place that could also grow food, raise cattle, or the capability to hunt your own
food. Also stockpiling goods. Survival food could be a good option. We will need to pool our
resources together in order to have a better chance at survival. Large numbers will also provide
security, since it would take an even larger number of people to try to cause us harm, or take our
resources.
We will need water as well, so that has to taken into consideration. You may have to be next to a
river, stream, lake, or drill wells. The water pumps operated by solar panels, or good old-
fashioned hand pumps. The more resources you have, the more possibilities. You may be able to
live quite comfortably if you plan well. I would also recommend starting early, to know what
you will be dealing with as far as your living environment. You don’t just want to head out when
it's time, and then find out you have flooding problems, or something else unexpected, that you
won't be able to fix or take care of once the tribulation starts.
Here is another problem, Taxes! We will not be able to file our taxes. We will all become tax
evaders. As far as the property taxes, I would start paying for a couple years in advance, and then
pay for 4 years before heading out just to be safe. If planned out, and in the right situation, we
may be able to pay in advance for other utilities or services. This leads me to say keep the
location to your group. Do not broadcast it, or post pictures on Facebook. In fact, I would not
make mention of it on the internet or in emails, in light of the government collecting metadata. I
would keep it very close to your community or use some code words.

33
There are many survivalist websites to search, get some ideas and knowledge of living off the
land. Water purification devices will be a big need. Will we need a backup plan in case
something does happen? Do we load up on weapons, or trust God to protect us? There are many
other things that we will have to be concerned about, such as women or small baby needs. The
more input we can get from those around us, the better our chances of survival. Jesus said this
time would be a time like no other time, and never to be repeated again. The first Christians
faced the same circumstances and were persecuted to death. We will face the same situation, and
will need to have the same mindset as they did. Although I do not think, we will be "adding to
our numbers", or having "favor with all the people". So how is your Faith?
Acts2:
42
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of
bread and the prayers. 43
And awe[e]
came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were
being done through the apostles. 44
And all who believed were together and had all things in
common. 45
And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds
to all, as any had need. 46
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in
their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47
praising God and having
favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being
saved.

34
My Background
As individuals, our personalities and who we are as a person inside, the inner core or conscious,
are formed by the environment and the circumstances that happen to us, during our early years. If
you were in a Christian home, you are more than likely going to be a Christian. A Muslim or any
other religion, then you will more than likely have that as your believe system as you grow older. If
you grew up in an abusive environment, you are more than likely going to be abusive, and the list
can go on, about all human deficiencies that we see on a daily basis.
I grew up in a military home, which meant you did not stay in one place too long, and you only had
one parent around half the time. I can look back now and see a few things that happened in my life
that define my personality and who I have become today.
We were living in Gary, Indiana, at the time, I can remember the tract we lived in out in a wooded
area, with a big sandlot. All the neighborhood kids knew each other, and we always had a baseball
game or some sport going in the sandlot or underneath the streetlights at night. In the winter, our
neighbor had a skating rink so we played hockey. It was like a perfect kid's life. Then of course, my
dad transferred to El Toro Marine base in southern California. I can remember balling the whole
trip out here, in spite of my parents trying to cheer me up, I remember saying to myself, I will never
make friends again.
Going into high school with that kind of attitude can have a lot of impact on your life and
relationships. I never really had a close friend in school, after that. I became very quiet and inward.
My parents called me the shadow, just appearing and disappearing randomly. My neighbor
introduced me to drugs and alcohol, which seemed to have the effect of acquiring friends, albeit, the
wrong type. That led to dropping out of school, and hanging out with the wrong crowd. I have never
really experienced a true friendship or relationship even with my first wife. Not until I met my wife
Jodi, who has had to endure my lack of communication skills, and has been trying to pry open some
of my hardness.
I have to admit I get anxious when it comes to a one on one conversational situation, and having to
talk about anything. My mind just races a hundred miles an hour, and you usually cannot
understand what I am trying to communicate. I either just freeze up and don’t say anything, or I get
frustrated and thinking the person is not hearing me, my voice tends to get elevated, which
sometimes gets a similar response from the other person, which just escalates into an argument.
Then about 2 weeks later, my mind will finally put it together and I will think of the response I
should I have said.
This is especially true when it comes to the discussion of end time prophecies. When you are in a
group situation, and your opinion is different than everyone else, you sometimes feel like you are

35
getting ganged up on in a sense and overwhelmed by all the verses people throw out at you. You try
to counter with the verses you believe, teach the truth, but with my brain it seems futile, and will
only lead to confusion.
I can't really give a date as to when God called me out, but I have had some Paul Like experiences in
my life., that has caused me to truly believe there is a God, and Jesus is who He claims to be. In 1984
I was working late at my shop, drinking and doing drugs, with my work neighbors. Suddenly the
radio was changing stations by itself. Two of the others in the shop started arguing over which song
to listen to. All the while the stations are changing back and forth from the 2 songs. One was women
the other was a man. I didn’t know what to think, but was freaked out, and went into my office.
I am in my office just thinking I must be hallucinating. I was thinking man I over did it. These two
came into the office, as well as another guy. I felt this evil presence, my mind suddenly transforming
into what I can only describe as some monstrous evil looking being. This thing was trying to
overtake my body. I felt so helpless, there was nothing I could do to stop it. I Instantly fell to my
knees helpless and fearful of this being, that I believe was trying to enter my spirit.
On my knees and probably as I am hitting the floor, I scream out "God Help ME!". Instantly this thing
that seemed to be inside my head and starting to take over my being, was gone. I felt such a peace,
My body literally looked like Casper the ghost. I could see my arms and legs, it was like I had no
clothes, just a spiritual body. I just knelt there for about 20 seconds glowing, it was unreal. I came
out of it, and there I am surrounded by these three, like everything was normal.
My neighbor is just standing there looking like he saw a ghost, The other two are not saying
anything, but the weirdest thing is, I could hear them communicating, even though they weren't
actually talking. I believe these two were either demon possessed, or witches or warlocks of some
kind. I could hear the one saying to the other "do it". His reply was "I can't he is too strong".
This was my shop, and I lived about one mile away. I just ran out the front door, I didn’t lock up, and
just left, I didn’t stop until I got home. My wife at that time was sleeping, and I didn’t really know
what to say, or even tell anyone what just happened, I am sure they would say it was a drug induced
illusion. But trust me, I had done enough drugs and seen my share of hallucinations, this was real!
There are spiritual dark forces and people who worship these beings, I am convinced.
I never did share that experience with anyone, until I started sharing my testimony. I am convinced
these two were trying to possess me. The thing is, they had no chance. You see God brought back to
memory many years later, an experience I had as a youth. We lived in San Diego at the time and a
Sunday school bus would come around our neighborhood. I attended that Baptist church that
summer for the first time at age 10 or so. It just so happened they had a summer camp for the
youths going on. My parents were in the military so I was the oldest and got to go, since money was
always an issue. Of course they had an invitation and I remember going into a room with one of the
camp leaders and accepting Christ. There is no way those demons could have taken over my spirit.
After about 3 days of not being able to sleep and trying to figure out what the heck just happened. I
started listening to a Christian radio station at work. They would mostly play Christian music, but at
noon they would have The Bible answer man on the air. Dr. Walter Martin was the host, and I really

36
understood his teachings, as well as Dr. J. Vernon McGee, who would follow. It took about a year
listening to these men before I gained enough courage to join a church. And was urged by a sermon
from Vernon Mcghhee who said, if you’re a believer "you ought to be at church you know", in his
southern drawl. I tried the big churches, but just felt more comfortable in a small church. This was
of course after accepting Christ a half dozen times, after what I saw, I wanted to be sure.
I really liked the prophetic aspects of the bible and started watching all the prophecy shows, and
who the antichrist is, and when is Jesus going to come back. Hal Lindsey had his prophecy show.
One day after hearing Walter Martin debate Hal Lindsay on the tribulation, I determined in my
heart that Walter Martin was preaching the truth on this subject. I don’t think that made the
spiritual dark forces happy. Once again experiencing the explainable. While driving down the
freeway, there is no traffic whatsoever, a car decides to cut in front of me, I swerve to the right and
slam into the guardrail, at about 3o miles per hour. I get out to access the damage, and cannot find a
scratch. That kind of solidified my belief, and have seen God work many miracles in my life.
You would think after experience something like that a person would learn not to mess around with
drugs. After my first wife gave me the "I love you, but I am not in love with you" speech. I became
hurt and took back to old habits. About a year later, after my business was about to go under, and
realized I need to survive, I came to my senses. Here is another God moment. The first Sunday I
decided I needed to get back to the church, I am driving to church and see this beautiful young lady
walking to Church, somehow I knew, I said to myself " hey God is sending me my next wife. And
sure enough, she is.
The thing with alcohol or drugs, they hard to get off once you’ve established a routine of using
them. I admit I started using them because I was emotional distraught, I knew the type of
personality I was. But like everyone else believed "I can handle it, it won't control me". I did control
it for a while, but bad company corrupts. I started playing in competitive softball tournaments
every weekend. A couple of the guys were using speed or ICE. Of course, what started out as "oh I
will just this once, I can handle it" turned into an everyday thing.
One night after smoking some ice, I was laying in bed just watching tv as my wife slept. Once again, I
felt the evil presence I had felt before. My heart started pounding, I heard this voice say " you're
going to die". I just thought man I am just spacing out bad. But it came even stronger " you're going
to die", my heart started racing faster, I started thinking, oh man, maybe I did too much ice. I just
need to chill out and it will go away. Again "you are going to die". Faster than you can blink, I was
floating above my bed just below the ceiling. I am looking down at my wife asleep, and my lifeless
body in the bed. I am just floating there thinking and feeling like normal except with no body.
I remember thinking, well this is it, I am going to die, I over did it with the drugs, what an idiot. It
was like I was getting one last look at my wife, and my lifeless body, it seemed like about ten to
fifteen seconds. Then, what I can only describe as this prism, with the point of the prism originating
in my inner being, started expanding out and pulling me up into this bright whiteout type light.
Suddenly I heard my name,"Rick". Instantly I was laying in the bed and staring at the ceiling.

37
Again, I heard this voice, "Rick, wake up your wife and tell her what you are doing". Needless to say,
I woke her up and told her everything. If you are reading this and have any doubts about life after
death, I can assure you it is real. I have seen it. The Bible is the truth and Jesus is who he claims to
be. If you have never made a confession of faith, that is your first step. Then seek out those you
know are true believers and get involved in their lives and learn more about this relationship with a
loving God. Especially if you this thing I have just explained start to happen. Do not be deceived by
this being that will initiate the final 7 years of this life as we know it. I hope and pray I have
explained, what I believe, and how I believe it will transpire, based on the Word of God.
