Anointing

Anointing is something we do not need from anyone else. You can anoint yourself or anyone around  you by following God's instruction and having faith in following those instructions. You can take olive oil and ask God to bless it in obedience to Him and then use that oil to anoint yourself, a loved one, your home for a healing, guidance, direction...

James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

We are the church! If you do not have a church you attend know that where two or more are gathered together, there also is Christ with you. We are the many membered body of Christ (the church in Christ). Matthew 18:20 & Romans 12:5

Deuteronomy 28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

Don't be confused here as this verse is among many in this chapter discussing how the Israelites will not be doing what they should. What we should be doing is using the olive oil to anoint. 

We have power over Satan and can rebuke him in Christ's name as well as anoint in Christ's name for protection. Luke 10:17-20 & Romans 12:21

It is the faith by which we pray and anoint that provides the healing through Christ. An example of such healing by faith is found in Matthew 9:20-22. Christ said here that "thy faith hath made thee whole."

Setting Out To Do Good

Romans 7:12-26 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Paul was very humble and a great example of how to be in trials, teachings, and openness. He was speaking here about setting out to do good and not, but instead failing his good intentions and rather doing the sins of the flesh. We all stumble, we all fail, we all sin, but we all have the continued ability to repent and do better, try harder, and serve Christ.

Brief Recap of Satan's Plan

Satan has had & has still numerous plans throughout his time and until the end and Judgment Day. It started back in the 1st earth/heaven age when he deceived a 1/3 of God's children. He thought he was as good as God and could be God. In this 2nd earth/heaven age, he has tried various tactics to achieve his initial goal of becoming God in the 1st earth age. Satan knowing God's plan for this 2nd earth age and the redemption of God's children, Satan was able to do his best at 1) impeding the seedline for which Christ would come through; 2) twisting God's Truth and Word to the ignorance and false worship of as many people as he could to turn them from God and towards himself...through mistranslations/teachings of God's Word, churches, etc.; 3) coming as Christ himself in the 6th Trump to deceive as many as he can to worshiping him. He will even try again at the end of the Millennium right before Judgment Day when he is loosed for one final test for those who would be deceived and follow him. Revelation 20:7-8  Be wiser than the serpent and study God's Letter to you, the Bible, to know the truth and follow the true Christ!

Satan's Plan: The 6th v 7th Trumps

Satan is going to replicate the 2nd Advent as much as possible and in miraculous ways. So much so that God had to shorten the time from 7 years to 5 months or even His elect would be deceived. It will be a time of wonders and peace following turmoil. Loved ones will be delivering up loved ones to him (Satan as Christ...Antichrist) because they will believe that he is Christ. They will be delivering those they care most about to Death (that is to say Satan) because they will be bewildered as to why God revering people are not worshiping him. While this won't be a pleasant time, it will be the tribulation God has prepared us for and will protect us through.

We as flesh humans need comfort in everything. Not the least of which is a definite "how do I know I'm doing the right thing" reassurance. God even has provided us that beyond telling us exactly how everything is going to go down. Here it is: If you are not in your spiritual bodies, Christ isn't here! It's that simple. As long as you are in your flesh bodies, it doesn't matter what Christ like being is performing what miracles....it won't be Christ!

Quick Note On Seals/Trumps Post In Mat/Mark/Rev

Just a quick note regarding the readability of the Seals & Trumps From Matthew 24 & Mark 13 & Revelation Post: Depending on the device/web browser you view the post it will either all be perfectly aligned in a table format or it will be all askew :-/ In Chrome it seems to be all aligned. In Internet Explorer it's a mess. On my cell in Safari, it's the worst mess to view. My apologies for any hardship in reading this particular Post! If you are viewing it and it's a mess, try copying/pasting it in a WORD (type) document so it can align for you for easier reading! The info is worth the struggle though so that's something ;-) Happy deciphering!!!

Mansions

John 14:2 In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Mansions here means "abiding places"...from the Greek mone (#3438 derived from #3306 meno) meaning: abide, dwell, be present. Put your dwelling in God and He will be present with you now and in Heaven.

Oft times folks get hung up on there being actual "mansions" in Heaven, as we know them here on earth. God is not about material things on earth, so why would that change in Heaven? We are clothed by our good works on Judgment Day, Revelation 19:7-8, so you can be naked as a jaybird or clothed in fine linen as is your choice right now in what you do. Aside from being clothed by your works, you will reside and dwell in God/Christ and that is better than any brick/mortar mansion filled with all the riches of this earth!

The Lake of Fire

Revelation 19:3 And again they said, "Alleluia." And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Those judged to die the second death at Judgment will be blotted out for ever and ever. Their souls will cease to exist and they will be no more. Judgment Day 

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."

The "lake of fire" is not a lake of hell burning for all eternity where those souls judged to it will scream in misery for ever, but is the "second death" where they will be blotted out and no longer remembered.

There is a difference between the gulfs in heaven now prior to Judgment Day and the "blotting out" on Judgment Day. Luke 16 speaks to the divided gulfs in heaven at this time in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. The division is not God's final Judgment, but it is God's dividing certain sinners away from Him until the Millennium and Judgment Day. God doesn't send someone to hell before they are judged, but that in and of itself is a hell that the rich man wanted to warn his brothers against. The final hell (as it were) of Judgment day is the smoke from the extinguishing of those judged to die the 2nd death being blotted out forever. Something we should all work against.  

Genesis 19:24-25; 28 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

And he [Abraham] looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

The Bible is full of parallels for our knowledge and prove witness for things to come. The "smoke" of Sodom and Gomorrah is the Hebrew word qiytor (#7008) and means vapour. The smoke from the second death is their blotting out, their vaporization, their extinguishment. They will be forever no more.

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Where The Dead Are

I Thessalonians 4 & II Thessalonians 2  /  Spiritual & Flesh Bodies 

I Thessalonians 4:13-17 tell us where the dead are, and they are with God in their spiritual bodies.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.

Daniel 9:27

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.

Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:


  • it = he = the desolator which is to say Satan (as Antichrist)
  • That one week period is that 5 month period and the oblation will cease in the 2 1/2 months (midweek) that Satan is here as Antichrist.
  • The oblation is the Holy Communion which will cease to those who follow Satan thinking he is Christ. Those that know the difference in the 6th & 7th Trump and who Satan actually is will not be following him, nor will they cease in Holy Communion until the time of the true Christ in the 7th Trump.

I Thessalonians 4 & II Thessalonians 2 Dissected

I Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

  • "concerning them which are asleep" is the Greek word koimao (#2837) meaning deceased = Paul (God) does not want us to be ignorant regarding those that are already dead in the flesh and currently in their spiritual bodies. To be absent from these flesh bodies is to be present with the Lord. II Corinthians 5:8 / Spiritual & Flesh Bodies 
  • "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." To be Christian is to know that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins and resurrected after 3 days to show He was alive before returning to Heaven. All of those who have come in the flesh in this 2nd earth age and have died are not waiting around in a hole in the ground to be resurrected like zombies at Christ's coming in the 7th Trump...they are with the Father currently awaiting the Millennium and the eternity, and will be returning with Christ as we will all be in our spiritual bodies at His coming. Why The 2nd Earth Age  /  2nd Earth Age Creation  /  Jacob I Loved & Esau I Hated  Christ didn't have to "unearth" Himself to resurrect, but did so to show us He was alive. His spirit never died, but for those three days was in Heaven with the Father (prior to His coming back to this earth for a short time and ascension to Heaven for our benefit). He was giving all of those who passed on before He died on the Cross the same opportunity all of us have after He died on the Cross which is to say believe on Him. I Peter 3:18-19 & Acts 2:31 / John 3:18 Judgment Day
  • "that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep" = How could we prevent them? They are already with Him!
  • "trump of God" is the 7th Trump
  • "the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air" ... Already covered are how the dead shall rise first in that they are first in their spiritual bodies because they already died in the flesh and are presently with Christ. We will be changed into our spiritual bodies at Christ's coming in the 7th Trump; therefore, we will be in spiritual bodies after those that are already with Him in their spiritual bodies. "Air" here means "breath of life" or spiritual bodies. "Clouds" in this context is a colloquialism meaning "large group or large congregation". We will all be in a large group in our spiritual bodies in other words. 
II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit,  nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive  you by any  means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Paul (God) wanted us to completely understand that Christ will not come until first Satan, that son of perdition, comes as God/Christ and sit where he ought not in place of God as it is written of in Daniel. That "falling away" is the apostasy that Daniel wrote about and that will come about in the 6th Trump.

Let no man deceive you, that there will be a "falling away first" .... that Antichrist is coming first. The apostasy is the desolator (Satan) sitting where he ought not (coming in place of Christ) and people worshiping him as Christ. The son of perdition is Satan.

Needs Met....Always!

Consider II Corinthians 8:14-15 "But by an equality; that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, 'He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.'"    

Just like the fowl of the air and the lilies of the field, God takes care of all your needs.  Matthew 6 & Luke 12  He supplies us with the tools and the help if only we are watching and working to notice the blessings provided. We may be toiling but to what end if we are not using the right tools. We may be worrying and pacing but for what cause if we are not applying our skills.

The weaker you are the more help from God you will receive if you are doing what is right and just and His will. If you ask for God's help and direction and are willing to take that direction and help, then He will always provide. When you are at your weakest is when God's strength is the strongest in you, so weakness is not a time to give up!

II Corinthians 12:9-10 "And He said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Know that God is always with you and waiting for you to do your part so He can do His. He will never leave you!  He will never forsake you! He will also never give you everything you want...but will give you everything you need....there is a big difference! Key however is to not forsake Him...study His word and be ready to listen and act.

The 7 Vials

Revelation 16 is where you will find the 7 Vials. They are poured out primarily in the 6th & 7th Trumps. Most of the Vials correspond with the plagues in Egypt found in Exodus with the exception of the 4th Vial which is the only plague that was not experienced by the Egyptians during the Israelite's captivity. The 4th Vial pertains to the end & is the fire of Truth in Revelation 16:8-9.

Since The Two Witnesses will be able to do wondrous and supernatural things while here during the 6th Trump, and since the 6th Vial syncs up with the 6th Trump, it would make sense that the first five Vials would be poured out just before the close of the last 2 1/2 months of the 6th Trump with the two witnesses as instruments (akin to how Moses and Aaron were an instrument in Egypt).

Again, we will get into all of the symbolism of Revelation later, but know that waters & sea=people in this Chapter 16.

The Two Witnesses

The two witnesses of Revelation 11 will be testifying for Christ against Antichrist for the duration of the 2 1/2 months that Satan is playing Christ. They will have powers beyond what man possesses. The 1,260 days referenced in Revelation 11:3 is the 3 1/2 years that then got shortened to 2 1/2 months (3 1/2 years was the latter half of the 7 years in Daniel). They will be slain for their testimony at the end of the 6th Trump as outlined in Revelation 11, and they will lay dead for 3 1/2 days before resurrecting bringing in the 7th Trump and the return of Christ. The 3 1/2 days and resurrection following that time mirrors Christ's death on the Cross and His time dead in the flesh before resurrecting.

So let's theorize for a moment: There were three people from the Old Testament who transfigured (did not die in the flesh, but were "taken" by God). They were Enoch, Elijah, and Moses. Of those three, two appeared with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration, and they were Moses and Elijah Matthew 17:3. It is conceivable that Moses (representing the Law) and Elijah (representing the Prophets (prophecy)) could be those two witnesses on earth during the 6th Trump with supernatural powers bestowed on them by God to testify His Truth against Satan.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

7th Trump

So at the end of the 5 month period of the 6th Trump (the final 2 1/2 months being the reign of Antichrist on earth) there will be two witnesses slain after their testimony is completed and they will lay dead for 3 1/2 days after which time they resurrect. Following their resurrection is when the one true Christ comes in the 7th Trump. Revelation 11

When Christ returns in the 7th Trump we are all instantly changed into our spiritual bodies and we are to begin the 1,000 years teaching of the Millennium. That 7th Trump is the tribulation for all those who followed Satan thinking he was Christ in the 6th Trump, and they will wish for mountains to fall on them Revelation 6:16-17.

Be very aware that Satan knows God's Word very well (so much that he could subtly twist those very words to tempt Christ in the wilderness How Satan Twists God's Word), and him being such as he is, could even try to fake a set of witnesses to try to deceive the elect. Be wiser than the serpent and know what to actually look for in Christ's return in the 7th Trump! For starters, if you are still in your flesh bodies, you are still in the 6th Trump. Only when Christ returns are we to change to our spiritual bodies I Thessalonians 4:16-17 {upcoming post on the full breakdown of this verse} & I Corinthians 15:50-58.

It is promised us that not a hair on our heads shall be touched in our tribulation of the 6th Trump Luke 21:18 Revelation 9:4-5, but that's not to suggest it is going to be pleasant in the least. The "death" we are to be delivered up to in this time is Satan as he is death (of your soul if you follow him) and that is one of his many names Hebrews 2:14 Names Of Satan. Trust in God, be sealed in Truth, watch for signs and seasons and prepare to follow God's instruction, and know that God will never leave you nor forsake you Hebrews 13:5-6.

Unlike Satan pretending to be Christ in the 6th Trump and bringing peace for those who follow him Daniel 11:24, Christ is not bringing peace, but a sword of Truth.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace but a sword.

Revelation 1:16 And He had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

In upcoming posts we will discuss all the symbolism of Revelation and what it means, but for now know that the stars are God's angels/messengers.

Wherever/whenever the "four winds blow" is stated, it is immediately preceding the 7th Trump. Mark 13:27 / Matthew 24:31 / Revelation 7:1

The Fiery Furnace

As it is stated in Luke 21:18, not a hair on even your head shall be touched in the tribulation of the 6th Trump. We have an example in the Old Testament of such in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego not following Nebuchadnezzar , who was a type of antichrist and the 6th Trump, and not even a head on their head was singed in the fiery furnace of their tribulation. Daniel 3

The 5 Month Period

The 5 month period of the 6th Trump could possible align with what we know from Scripture and what we know from nature.

Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth; and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Those locusts are Satan's army, but not to be feared if you have understanding of God's Word.

So let's follow some deductive thought: In nature, the time of locusts is from May-September, which is a 5 month period. Symbolically, this would be a fitting time for the 6th Trump in that harvest time is in September as is Christ's birth September 29th Christ Was Born. Christ is coming to harvest with a two-edged sword to separate the good from the bad Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43. It would fit God's continued parallels throughout His Word for Christ to return in the 2nd Advent at the same time He came to us in the first Advent. Just food for thought.
