Perilous Prophecy

PERILOUS PROPHECY

Blog Post Date:  3-2-2020

Written endorsements of Biblical prophecy is an invitation for censure and/or criticism.  However, since I’ve been called most every name imaginable, then I will take the chance and see what happens.

My study of eschatology has encompassed (off and on) around 40 years and many instances have been frustrating with an occasional peaceful moment.  Most of the time I have been wrong in my overall understanding although it appears that now is a calm episode of my studying and thinking.

I still may be wrong but my end-times prophecy thinking goes as follows.  There is no seven year tribulation period.  This concept is the result of false understanding of Daniel’s seventy weeks.  The Revelation is not a road map for seven years of so-called “antichrist” terror - it is primarily a schematic outline of church history since the days of John until the present.  And we are viewing the downfall of Mystery, Babylon, even now.

There is the possibility that several parts of the Revelation, up to the 15^th chapter may be replaying themselves in a secondary prophetic manner.  There are several, beyond normal, earthquakes scattered around the world.  Both within the Pacific “ring of fire” and many outside this area, along with various volcanos all erupting within a short period of time.

Snowfalls are occurring in places not generally associated with such things and an unusual amount of rain creating floods and mudslides in various worldwide areas. 

Vast areas of Australia were burned by brushfires.

The Coronavirus has recently erupted.  It is apparently greatly affecting the Chinese and Koreans although it has been reported that it is more like a common cold to other races.  Benjamin Fulford has even reported that the majority of world cases is a ruse and Donald Trump has even said the situation is under control in the USA.  Believability is something that each individual will have to deal with personally.

It is now possible for Mr. Trump to use the coronavirus pandemic as a good excuse to build the wall separating the USA from Mexico.  The X-22 report claims the virus is of small consequence being used by the deep state to invalidate Trump.  X-22 claims that if it was real would be MSM and the Democrats be claiming the virus is the fault of Mr. Trump?  The answer is, “No, they would be looking for protection and not playing the blame game.”

The medical personnel of South Korea claim that oxygen therapy will kill the coronavirus.

The superficial cause is toxemia -- the build up of toxins in our blood.  The actual cause, however, is lack of oxygen and things that screw up our ability to use oxygen at a cellular level.

The locust plague is apparently a real event.  This could be related to some secondary fulfillment parts of the Revelation although I know of no one who has validly checked.  Many animals are also dying due to the locust invasion.  Although various 7-year tribulation proponents believe we are directly involved in the so-called Revelation tribulation quagmire even though no direct prophecy is quoted, because there is no specific one.

If Matthew 24:6-12 can be rightly attributed to the present time, i.e. the end of the age, then it may be issuing various prophetic points associated with modern times.  There are several middle East wars occurring, famines caused by floods with the world food supply becoming quite low, a pestilence due to the coronavirus along with the locust plague, and of course, earthquakes in several places.

Matthew 24:7 KJV  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences (i.e. a plague or some type), and earthquakes, in divers places.

The 120 Years

In Genesis 2:17 God told Adam that eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would instigate his death.  Of course, Adam did not immediately die.  As a matter of fact he lived many years past that point.

Genesis 2:16-17 NET Then the LORD God commanded the man, "You may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard, (17) but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die."

The KJV of Genesis 2:17 has been inserted to show the word “DAY” is actually in the Hebrew.

Genesis 2:17 KJV  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Viewing, 2 Peter 3:8 it can be shown that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years in circular reasoning.

2 Peter 3:8 KJV  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

But the information tells us that Adam died prior to the end of the first thousand years (or the first day as it is with the Lord).  If Adam was supposed to die within the DAY that he sinned and if a thousand years is one day then that is exactly what happened.

Genesis 5:5 NET The entire lifetime of Adam was 930 years, and then he died.

Genesis 6:3 says: 

Genesis 6:3 KJV  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet (he will remain NET) his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

This is not speaking of a person’s age since it is obvious that people after the flood lived over 120 years. This is talking about how long God is willing to basically put up with the waywardness of humanity.

My answer may not be accurate, but at some point during my eschatology journey I learned this was 120 jubilees.  A jubilee is 50 years.  120 jubilees, therefore, is 120 x 50 = 6000.  Six thousand years.  This appears to make sense and it may be off by a few years but it is fairly close.  We are now supposedly very close to the end of the 6000 years.

The next passage is takenfromthe KJV because no one else except the Jewish Bible gets it correct unless it is taken from the original Hebrew:

Revelation 13:8 KJV  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (i.e. the Beast), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

In this verse, we find the sacrificial Lamb was slain from the beginning of the world, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to the natural mind.  This means that Christ was sacrificed prior to the sin of Adam and Eve, an example of circular reasoning rather than lineal deliberating.

Next, we will look at 1 Peter 1:20 [KJV]:

1 Peter 1:20 KJV  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times [archarit-hayamim] for you,

This verse will show that Christ was not an answer to a sin problem after four thousand years of trying to get it right by the Law or other means. The answer existed before the problem. Peter explains here that Christ was destined for the earth specifically for the “last days”, the acharit-hayamim.
