The last prophecy letter by Michae1
This letter is dedicated to all Christians

Our time here is getting short. Therefore, I've decided to construct one final outline of prophetic events. These prophetic events, which I've been writing about and debating for over two decades, are now heading towards a conclusion. Therefore, it is important that this letters purpose be understood. This letter is an interpretation and will move fairly fast with limited explanation. I hope it is understandable to all.

Since Christianity began, believers have always been taught to have faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1. It has always been my thought that if the Bible was true faith would eventually become reality. In other words, prophecies that were written in a vague manner would start to become apparent and faith would become visible. An example of this would be Noah's Ark. If we could see the Ark upon a mountain then something we learned as faith would become a reality. Reality is one step higher than Faith. Short of seeing God, which we cannot do until we die, this is as good as it gets for a believer. Therefore, this is what I call, "Our Noah's Ark". Our Noah's Ark is prophecy fulfilled in plain view. This now becomes something seen, instead of faith in something unseen. Better said, some of the prophecies of Revelation are finally becoming discernible, which suggests a conclusion. The two most important items that must be derived from this narrative are as follows. If these prophecies which were written centuries ago are now happening, we know two things. One, that the author of those prophecies was God; and two, that the religion he brought was true. Any other way must become false and will lead to the second death, which is the death of the soul. Let's get started.

Note: not all verses are exact quotes. Some are paraphrased.

Rev. 13:1 - The beast with seven heads and ten horns.

The seven heads are seven nations. The ten horns are ten kings. The beast is a group of nations that will wage war or the leader of those nations. Literally, it is Israel and the Muslim nations that surround her. This beast was born when Israel received her independence in 1948. This beast though, as stated in Rev. 13:1, is actually Israel at a specific time in her history. It denotes the Oslo Accords of 1993 and the beginning of land for peace. This agreement lasted seven years and ended in September 2000 with the start of the second intifada. This brings us to those three extra kings who the beast subdues in Daniel. These kings were Israeli Prime Ministers and all served during this seven year time frame. Arafat was known to have boasted that he affected the elections in Israel three times through terror. Daniel 9:27 says he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. The covenant began with the agreement between Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Rabin. It is also known as Daniel's 70th week. In Hebrew, the word many is written Rab.

Rev. 13:3- The beasts deadly head wound.

Head is a nation. It is similar to the heads of Rev 13:1, only singular. The beast's head (nation) was wounded in 1967 and is now being healed through the Oslo Accords.

Rev. 13:4- And they worshipped the dragon. Who is able to make war with him?

Islam is a false religion. The dragon is Satan. As long as they aren't worshipping Christ they are worshipping Satan. Who is able to make war with him refers to the difficulty of fighting a terrorist enemy. In other words, they are not really an army. A suicide bomber is almost impossible to defend against.

Rev. 13:5- he was able to continue 42 months.

Arafat continued for 42 months during the Oslo Accords before terror finally caused the Israelis to stop giving into his demands. The last 42 months of those seven years were not nearly as productive for him. This was during the term of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister from 1996 to 1999.

Rev. 13:7- power was given him over all kindreds and nations.

Arafat had power over all peoples of the Earth in the United Nations. All nations wanted Israel to give back lands won in the 1967 war. Votes in the U.N. are always one-sided in favor of the Palestinians.

Rev. 13:10- this is a parable. Those who lead into captivity will be taken captive. Those who kill with the sword shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

Translation- If you lead others to false Gods you will be taken captive by those Gods. If you kill with the sword, which the Lord is the two-edged sword or better said the Word of God , you will be killed with the sword. In other words, believers will be taken by the Lord. This is the faith of the saints. ]]> Comparing Notes Michae1 http://www.christiansonline.cc/forum/comparing-notes/5368-our-noahs-ark.html http://www.christiansonline.cc/forum/bible-study/5367-angels.html Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:09:48 GMT "And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them from the tent door and he bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in Thy sight, pass not away, I pray Thee from Thy servant: Let a little water be fetched and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree and I will fetch Thee a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that Ye shall pass on: for therefore are Ye come to Your servant. And they said, So do as thou has said. And Abraham hastened to the tent of Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly, three measures of meal, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth. And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat." Gen 18:1-10.

"And there came two angels to Sodom at even: and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed to the ground; and he said, Behold now, my lord's turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat." Gen 19:1-4.

"And the Angel of the Lord called unto him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham, and he said, Here am I. And He said, Lay not your hand upon the lad, neither do anything unto him: for now I know that thou fears God, thou has not withheld thy son, thy only son from Me." Gen 22:11,12.

"The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and that swore unto me, Unto thee, will I give this land; He shall send his angel before thee, and thou shall take a wife unto My son from thence." Gen 24:7 (Abraham)

"The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my father's Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." Gen 48:16. (Joseph)

"And, behold the Angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and He smote Peter on the side, and raised him up saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the Angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And He says unto him, Cast thy garments about thee, and follow Me. And he went out, and followed Him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the Angel; but thought he saw a vision." Acts 12:7-9.

"Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon thy transgressions; for My name is in him. But if thou shall obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an Enemy to thy enemies, and an Adversary to thy adversaries. For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring in the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will cut them off."

But I have a dilema and this is the only place I could think of to turn to. Here is the story I am having a difficult time dealing with.
My fiance and I have been engaged for four months now. We are happily tra la la in love. Things are going smooth and I have NEVER been this happy with a man in my life. Here is the sitch. Before he and I met, he had dated a female for a month and they broke up because of a ultamateum she posed on him and he left. Fast foward to a month later, he and I started dating. Things were great until she started texting him saying she misses him deeply and she was sorry that she wasn't enough for him, that she has been crying constantly. Her friends would come to my fiance at his work to tell him how miserable she is, asking why I am a better woman than her and blah blah blah (my fiance would show me each text she sent and i've witnessed her friend talking to him and he would tell me later whats going on). So, my fiance had texted her and said, "If you can not respect my relationship with 'soda1993' I do not want you talking to me". Cool...that ended it surprisingly. Double fast forward to five months later. She found out we were engaged. Here comes the waterworks, tickets for a guilt trip and an invite to a pity party. But seriously now, this is what she wrote to him. She starts off by saying "I guess I will try this 'being "Friends" ' thing" She states that she has a great job now, she is doing all of the things that they had planned to do, she's buying a house and dating a someone. I'm like, 'thank goodness!' BUT, she continued. She said that she can not force herself to love the man she is with because she still loves and misses my fiance. She said that she had a pregnancy scare and all she could think of was her and my fiance buying a house together and having kids. She continued on to say that she hopes that I can make him happy since she couldn't. Woe is me, woe is me blah blah blah. She misses him and he is all that she can think of. Now, at this point I am boiling because she has been told to stop this and just be regular friends. I don't mind him having female friends at all but this chick is pushing it. When I discussed my feelings with my fiance, he brought it to my attention that I have male friends. Which I do, but they are not trying to get with me nor are they wishing that their partners are me. I kindly asked him to remove her completely from his life again and he said no and that i have to trust him. I let him know that I trust him with all of my heart but my gut is saying something different because I don't trust HER. I tried explaining to him that she is only trying to make him feel sorry for her so that he can second guess his choice in leaving her and come back to her after he 'sees' how much she loves him. It's an old trick. I asked him how would he think the 'boyfriend' (if there is one) would feel if he read this. He said, "I don't know...it's just bizarre" But he won't relieve her of her 'friend' duty. We are scheduled to start our Pre-marital counseling sessions next week (August 14) but I need advice NOW. This is tearing me up and I need advice on what I can do. Am I being over sensitive or is he being 'weird'. How about the 'friend'...what would you all do? All advice is appreciated. ]]> Something More Chelle http://www.christiansonline.cc/forum/something-more/5365-chelle-needs-advice-again.html
