You are about to read an incredible, but very thoroughly documented book showing The Plan
unfolding NOW!
Prior
to this publication, the major theme of this book was being presented only at
talks and seminars. After one of these seminars, a Lady commented that she had
never seen the big picture before, but now all the pieces were fitting
together. This is one of the major reasons that this material was put into
printed form.
It
is the writer's sincere desire that after reading through this book, you too
will be able to see the big picture more clearly, and thus be in a better
position to cope and survive as The French Revolution is being revived
world-wide!

FOOTNOTES AND REFERENCES
We
are living in very uncertain times. Crises threatens every aspect of modern
life. One moment life may move along in peaceful serenity, the next it erupts
in chaotic violence.
The recent April protests
and rioting which set Los Angeles ablaze makes this evident. These protests
against the not-guilty verdict of the Rodney King beating trial were not
limited to this Southern California city alone, but spread across the United
States, into Canada, and across the oceans into Australia and England.
The increase in political
strife, in wars, and government take-overs proclaim man's unrest, his fear of
the future, his anger, and hints of potential anarchy.
Not only is civilization teetering
on the edge of chaos, but the violence of nature is increasing. Earthquakes are
escalating, not only in frequency, but in intensity. Volcanoes are becoming
active, spewing forth their fury. Storms are more frequent and more
devastating.
It seems that we are on the
edge of a precipice looking downwards into oblivion.
All these things are as
signs of the times to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, that the
world cannot continue to go on like this much longer. Mens hearts are beginning
to fail them for fear for looking after those things which are coming on the
earth (see Luke 21:26). And people are asking questions: "Why are these
things happening?" "What is coming next?" "Has God forsaken
the earth?" "Has the Devil taken full control?"
No, God has not forsaken His
obedient people, but these honest questions bring out the point that there is
much more going on behind the scenes than many of us realize.
There is a very intense and
sleepless battle going on between the forces of light and the forces of
darkness--a controversy between Christ and Satan which is accelerating with
every passing day. And the God of heaven has told His people that "time is
short." He continues and states "that, knowing...the time, that now
it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than
when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light" 1
Corinthians 7:29, Romans 13:12-13.
Paul explains that we must
"Put on the whole armor of God," so we might be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil" Ephesians 6:11.
Many are not aware of these
wiles, and God admonishes us that we are not to be ignorant of Satan's devices
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us" 2 Corinthians 2:11.
Satan's greatest success in
deceiving is by keeping us ignorant about his workings and devices. When we are
ignorant and/or confused, Satan has the advantage over us, and he is not slack
about trying to deceive God's people today. So we must not be asleep as to what
is going on through the powers of darkness. Why? Because "your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour"
"because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" 1 Peter 5:8,
Revelation 12:12.
The devil knows his time is
indeed short, and he is busy leading the world into the final cataclysmic
crisis. God's people are soon to be brought into straight and trying places.
All who do not overcome by the blood of the Lamb will succumb to the trying
circumstances and crisis instead of overcoming them in the fear of God.
But how is Satan bringing
this about? Through whom is he working? The answer is given us by God. In love
and mercy He exposes the main satanic players acting in this last final
controversy between Christ and Satan. These players are responsible for most of
the abominations being done in the land.
In the book of the
Revelation, God reveals five main satanic players. They are:
1--The Great Red Dragon of
Revelation 12.
2--The Leopard-like Beast of
Revelation 13.
3--The Lamb-like Beast of
Revelation 13.
4--The Image to the Beast of
Revelation 13.
5--The Scarlet-colored Beast
of Revelation 17.
There are several methods
used today to interpret Bible prophecy, and thus to identify who represents
these players. The most commonly used methods of interpretation are: the
Historical, the Preterist, and the Futurist. But which method is blessed of
God, and hence the correct to use today?
Former college Professor and
Bible teacher--Roger Rusk, gives a very important clue. He writes in his book, The
Other End of the World, that the very same method of Bible interpretation
which gave rise to the great Reformation Movement from the Dark Ages, was
blessed of God, and is still appropriate to use today!
Rusk writes:
"The continuous
development of history as fulfillment of prophecy without gaps or parenthesis
was a view held by nearly all the reformation teachers and martyrs. As soon as
the Bible became available to the people of Northern Europe, first from the
hands of Wycliff, and then Tyndale, the realities of history became
understandable in terms of the year for a day scale used in the prophetic
passages of the Bible. If there is a choice between agreeing with these stalwarts
of the faith who laid down their lives for what they believed and more recent
expositors of the prophecies...then the choice is not hard to make."(1)
The rise out of the Dark
Ages was the result of making the Bible available to the common people, and by
the teachings of the Protestant Reformation. These teachings were based on an
historical interpretation of prophecy; ie. representing the 1260 days of Daniel
and Revelation as being 1260 years of history.
Such Reformation leaders as
Luther, Calvin, Huss, Wycliff, Knox, Latimer, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooker,
Through this method of
interpretation, the Roman Catholic Church was clearly pointed out in prophecy
as being the Little Horn of Daniel 7, the Beast of Revelation 13:1, the Woman
of Revelation 17, with the head of the Church being the Man of Sin in 2
Thessalonians 2.
As the Reformation and its
teachings continued to spread, the Papacy was forced more and more to defend
itself against the overwhelming evidence and conviction of Bible prophecy. Thus
Catholicism needed to steer the people away from believing this historical interpretation
of prophecy, if it did not want to be seen as an enemy of Christ. And this is
exactly what they did.
The Papacy began to set in
motion a Counter-Reformation. This was designed to put down the rebellion of
the Protestants. This counter-reformation consisted of making the Jesuits the
teaching and preaching arm of the Church,(3) proscribing all books and publications
containing any statements against the Church,(4) and the establishment of the Holy
Office of the Inquisition which persecuted all who refused to give up the
Reformation teachings.(5)
The Jesuits developed and
began teaching two doctrines aimed directly at the heart of the Reformation:
1--Spanish Jesuit Alcazar
began teaching that the events depicted in the prophecies were already
fulfilled in the persecutions of the early Christians by the Roman Emperors.
This was called the Preterist interpretation of Bible Prophecy.(6)
2--Spanish Jesuit Francisco
Ribera began teaching that the events foretold by the Prophets were still in
the future, that it was not a day for a year, but was literal time or a day for
a day, and that all prophecy would be fulfilled in a short period just before
the second coming of Christ. This was called the Futurist interpretation of Bible
prophecy.(7)
The Catholic Church reasoned
that "it was easier to deal with the ideas of doctrine than with the facts
of history."(8)
Both the Preterist and
Futurist teachings were aimed at destroying the heart of the Reformation by
effectively nullifying the historical interpretation of prophecy, and thus protecting
Catholicism from being clearly recognized in the Scriptures.
The most damaging of these
two teachings is clearly Futurism. From this false doctrine alone, several
teachings have arisen--such as the literal 3 1/2 year (1260 day) reign of the
Anti-christ just before Christ comes,(9) the Pre-tribulation rapture of God's
saints,(10) Dispensationalism,(11) etc.
Roger Rusk plainly writes:
"There is the group
which accepts only the spiritual value of prophecy which has no relevance to
actual history. The Preterist claims the prophecies were fulfilled in times
past during the persecutions of the Roman Empire. The Futurists claim
fulfillment at some future time at the close of this age and in relation to
Christ's second coming. The Historicist maintains that fulfillment is occurring
throughout history all of which is described in the prophecies. Let us resort
to baseball parlance...
"The spiritual or
symbolic interpreter says, "Who cares? It is just a make-believe game
anyway." The Preterist exclaims, "Stupid, the game is over." The
Futurist protests, "Hey, wait. It's not our inning yet." The
Historicist yells, "Why don't you look and see!" Clearly the
advantage is with the Historicist, who is the only realist in the bunch. Look
at history and study what the Bible says."(12)
The Historical
interpretation gave rise to the greatest revival and reformation the world had
yet witnessed since the days of Christ and the Apostles. It was truly a
movement inspired and led of God, and more than 50 million Protestants were
tortured and murdered during the Inquisition because they refused to deny these
beliefs!(13) Were they wrong to hold to and die for
these beliefs? Were they following a delusion? Not at all. Then neither is the
historical interpretation of Bible prophecy wrong today. Would to God that more
were actuated by the same spirit of the Reformation.
As this is clearly truth,
the following definitions of the main players which God lists for us in the
Revelations, especially regarding the last four, will be based upon the
Historical interpretation of Bible prophecy.
In
the book of the Revelation, God reveals five main satanic players which figure
largely in the closing scenes of this earth's history. They are:
1--The Great Red Dragon of
Revelation 12.
2--The Leopard-like Beast of
Revelation 13.
3--The Lamb-like Beast of
Revelation 13.
4--The Image to the Beast of
Revelation 13.
5--The Scarlet-colored Beast
of Revelation 17.
Let us briefly identify and
examine some of the main characteristics of these five main satanic players so
that we can see more clearly their perspective parts in this final scheme of
the great controversy.
THE GREAT RED DRAGON
The Bible identifies this
Great Red Dragon as being the Devil, Satan, or Lucifer (see Isaiah 14; Ezekiel
28; and Revelation 12). The color of this dragon is red. The Greek word used
here is "purrhos" (#4450 in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance),
and translates "fire-like or flame-colored." This color would be a
bright yellowish red. Accordingly, Masonry calls Lucifer "The Blazing
Star," and the ancient Babylonians and pagans worshipped him as the Sun
god. And on what day was Lucifer worshipped? The day of the Blazing Star, or
the day of the Sun--or Sunday.
Lucifer was the first
created being. Unfortunately he tried to establish a new form of government in
heaven. This government would be based upon freedom from all law and all
authority--except Lucifer's, and each being would create its own set of rules.
Lucifer wanted to be worshipped as God, and to rule over all his fellow beings,
rather than serve them. He therefore began to spread falsehoods and lies about
God, Jesus, and heaven's government--that was based upon God's righteous laws.
The lies Lucifer spread
about God was exactly Lucifer's own guilt. When enough angels were enlisted in
his camp, the insurrection against heaven's government--its rulers and its
perfect laws--was brought out into the open and war was begun.
Since the war was finally
brought out into the open and battle ensued, every angel in heaven was forced
to choose whom he was going to fight for and defend--God or Lucifer. When all
the choices had been made, Lucifer and his followers (which made up 1/3 of all
the angels "stars" of heaven--see Revelation 12:4) were cast out of
heaven (see Revelation 12:7-9). He did not then give up the battle against
God's government and His laws, but brought the same war to earth. And he will
not retreat. He intends to reach his goal. He still intends to be worshipped as
God!
So the main characteristics
of the Dragon or Lucifer are:
1--To exalt self above God.
2--To be like and worshipped
as God.
3--To rule over and not to
serve.
4--To secretly and openly
spread lies in order to gain followers.
5--Accuses others of exactly
what he is guilty of.
6--When enough followers are
enlisted, then rebellion and insurrection are brought out into the open.
7--Never repents or gives up
The Plan, but continues to refine and perfect it in order to bring about
desired goals.
This Dragon was depicted as
being ready to devour the "man child" who was to be the ruler of all
nations, as soon as he was born (see Revelation 12:4-5). This man child was
Jesus Christ, "who was caught up unto God and to his throne." It was
not a literal Dragon who tried to devour Christ, but it was Lucifer working
through King Herod of the Roman Empire who tried to kill Christ as soon as He
was born. Thus we see that this Dragon, though it represents Lucifer, depicts
also the ancient Roman Empire.
Now this Dragon had seven
heads, seven crowns, and ten horns. As to the identity of the seven heads and
their crowns: there were exactly seven different successive forms of
governmental rule in the ancient Roman Empire. These were the Kings; the
Consuls; the Decemvirs; the Dictators; the Triumvirs; the Emperors; and the
Exarch of Revenna. As to the identity of the ten horns: horns symbolize power,
and there were exactly ten territories which made up the ancient Roman Empire.
These were the territories of the Huns, in Hungary; the Ostrogoths, in Mysia;
the Visigoths, in Pannonia; the Franks, in France; the Vandals, in Africa; the
Suevi, in Spain; the Burgundians, in Burgundy; the Heruli, in Italy; the
Anglo-Saxons, in Britain; and the Lombards, in Germany.(14) These 10 territories later became 10
kingdoms making up
The Plan and the
characteristics of the Dragon or Lucifer remain the same--no matter what
Government, kingdom, ruler, or person he uses to accomplish his goals. Thus
when we see these same plans and characteristics being manifested, we can
clearly know that the Dragon is in control--no matter whom or what organization
he is working through.
THE LEOPARD-LIKE BEAST
What color is this Beast?
"Leopard-like." And what color is a Leopard? Yellow. Thus this is not
a red colored Beast, but it is a yellowish colored Beast.
Through historical
interpretation, this Beast is clearly the Roman Catholic Church or the Papacy
(See Appendix
A). She ruled from 538-1798 AD, or for 1260
years--otherwise known as the dark ages. In 1798 her deadly wound was inflicted
(see Revelation 13:3) by the French general Berthier when he captured and
imprisoned the Pope--stripping away all of the Vatican's power.
What are some of the main
characteristics of the papacy, which were seen in history and are continued to
be followed today?
1--Exalts man in the place
of God.
2--To rule over rather than
serve using an hierarchical form of church government.
3--The pope is like God and
is worshipped as God.
4--To spread lies and
falsehoods in order to gain followers.
5--To work secretly until
able to work openly.
6--To try to silence or kill
opponents of its goals, usually through the civil power.
7--Never repents or gives up
its plans, but continually refines and polishes them in order to bring about
its desired goals.
This Leopard-like Beast also
has seven heads and ten horns, but instead of crowns upon the heads, the crowns
are upon the ten horns. About the significance of the ten horns with crowns:
since the fall of the Roman Empire, the ten territories which had made up
Rome's power had become ten ruling kingdoms. About the significance of the
seven heads: the Roman Catholic Church was founded upon the ruling authority of
the ancient Roman Empire, and also gained control over, and derived her power
from, these ten territories which ancient Rome had once conquered and ruled
over. Hence "The Holy Roman Empire" became a common phrase when
referring to the power and ruling authority of the Roman Catholic Church during
this time. We can clearly note that the Leopard-like Beast is a plain depiction
of the Roman Catholic Church, and that her characteristics and plans are
strikingly similar to the Devil's.
THE LAMB-LIKE BEAST WITH TWO HORNS
Through study, we know that
this two-horned Beast, arising out of the earth and not the sea, is undoubtedly
the United States of America. (See Appendix
B). Its two horns represent the principles of
Republicanism and Protestantism. And what are some of the main characteristics
of this Beast?
1--Republicanism; or freedom
from dictatorial and tyrannical governments and kings.
2--Protestantism; or the
separation of church and state, and freedom from oppressive and apostate
churches.
3--Like a lamb; or manifests
a peaceful and non-aggressive attitude.
4--But speaks like a dragon;
or becomes satanic, destroys liberty, and assumes dictatorial authority (see Revelation
13:11).
5--It exercises military
power over all the earth (see Revelation 13:12).
6--It compels all the world
to worship the Leopard-like Beast, or the Papacy, who had received a deadly
wound (Revelation 13:12), and to receive his mark (see Revelation 13:12,
16-17).
7--Persecution and death to
all who will not make concessions to or bow to and obey its decrees (see
Revelation 13:15).
THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST
Now who is represented by
the Image of the Beast? It is an image of the Leopard-like Beast or the papacy.
So this "Image" is an imitation or replica of the Roman Catholic
Church, and thus will demonstrate the same characteristics and plans of the
papacy!
Therefore who or what is represented
by this Image of the Beast? It would have to be a religious body other than
Catholicism. And the only other likely religious body must be the Protestant
churches who choose to apostatize from God and follow instead in the footsteps
of Rome. This would include all those Protestant churches which choose to form
their church into an image or replica of the papacy. Thus this
"Image" could be any of the Protestant churches of today--including
some of those whom we would least expect, such as the Baptists, Lutherans,
Methodists, Seventh-day Adventist's, and the list could go on!
How many Protestant churches
are there? Quite a few. Can you have many different churches all trying to be
the head leader of this Image? No. As Catholicism has only one leader, even
though many churches were absorbed within its system, so this Image will only
have one leader, even though many churches are united in its system.
So who will this leader of
the Image be? It would have to be the one Protestant church that is the closest
united with Lucifer, thus having the greatest darkness and corruption within
its system. This church would be Satan's greatest and most powerful agent,
working some of his mightiest miracles and lying wonders to deceive if possible
the very elect (see Matthew 24:24).
Now which Protestant church
would have the greatest darkness and corruption within itself? The one church
that would have the greatest darkness from Satan, would be the one that has
rejected the greatest light from heaven!
Thus far we see four
different main players in this final conflict:
1--The Dragon, or Lucifer or
Satan.
2--The Leopard-like Beast,
or the Roman Catholic Church.
3--The Lamb-like Beast, or
the United States of America.
4--The Image of the Beast,
or the different apostate Protestant churches of today.
Aside from Satan--who is
basically the power behind all of his people and agencies--who will be the
greatest leading player in this great controversy? Some think that it will be
the revived Roman Catholic church who will play the most important role, but
this is not so!
The Roman Catholic church is
still very powerful, and she has great influence in many different areas, but
she will not play the leading role in this last great controversy. She has had
her day of rule during the dark ages, and God reveals in His Word that the
Papacy will give her immense strength to the use of another power.
Some think that the United
States will play the most important role, but this is not correct. The civil
and military power of the United States is under the service and control of
others--namely the Image (see Revelation 13:16-17). The USA simply obeys orders
and forces others to obey the Image, making the whole world to wonder after the
Beast, to receive its mark, and to worship it along with its Image.
Others think that the Image
of the Beast will play the most important role, but this is also not correct.
It is the last Beast--the Scarlet-colored Beast of Revelation 17--that plays
the most important leading role in Lucifer's kingdom in these last days.
THE SCARLET-COLORED BEAST
This Beast from the
bottomless pit is scarlet in color. The Greek word for scarlet is
"kokkinos" (#2847 in Strong's Concordance), and it translates
"crimson colored" or dark red. Consequently this Beast is not the
same as the Dragon, because the Dragon was bright red or flame colored. This
Beast is also not the Papacy, because the Papacy was represented as being
yellow in color or a leopard-like Beast. Neither is this Beast the United
States of America, nor is it the Image of the Beast or the apostate Protestant
churches.
This Scarlet-colored Beast
of Revelation 17 must then be a completely different power that is not the
Roman Catholic church, or the Protestant churches, or any church, but it
upholds all these religions for a time.
The apostate woman, or
Babylon the Great--representing all the churches of the world today--is
revealed to be riding on this Scarlet-colored Beasts' back (see Revelation
17:3-7). So this Scarlet-colored Beast carries Babylon the Great on its back
and takes her wherever it wants her to go; it uses all these religions for its
own purpose, until those purposes are accomplished!
The ten horns on this
bottomless pit Beast represents all of Satan's forces confederated together in
one great harmony--giving their strength and power unto this Beast, or being of
one mind (see Revelation 17:13-14, 17). Thus is represented a universal bond of
union of all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to God
and the laws of His kingdom. Wherefore this Scarlet-colored Beast plays the
greatest leading role in the closing up of this great controversy between
Christ and Satan.
But who or what is
represented by this Beast? Do we have any clues? Yes! This Beast from the
bottomless pit was seen before in history, during the time of the second woe
listed in Revelation 11:7-8. This was the time when the two witnesses were
destroyed by this Beast for over three and a half days or years (in Bible
prophecy, a day represents a year--see Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6).
Who were these two
witnesses? Christ said of the Scriptures that these are they "which
testify (or witness) of Me" John 5:39. So the two witnesses represent the
Old and New Testaments of the Bible. And when in history was the Bible
destroyed for just over three and a half years by this bottomless pit Beast? It
was during the French Revolution!
The Bible was confiscated
and killed--or burned--in the streets of France from 1793-1797 by this Beast
power. Historian J.G. Lorimer writes:
"On the 10th of
November [1793] an ass, dressed out in a sacerdotal habit, was led in
procession through the town [of Paris] by two `san culottes,' carrying a sacred
cup, out of which they gave the animal drink; and when they arrived at one of
the public edifices, Bibles, books of devotion, etc., were piled up in a heap,
which was set on fire amidst horrid shouts from a vast concourse of
people...Wherever a Bible could be found it might be said to be persecuted to
death...it is a remarkable circumstance that 26 theaters in Paris were open and
filled to overflowing [to celebrate]..."(15)
Another historian, George
Croly, writes:
"On the 17th of June,
Camille Jordan, in the `Council of Five Hundred,' brought up the memorable
report on the `Revision of the laws relative to religious worship.'...the Bible
had been slain in
What power was behind the
French Revolution that is represented by this Scarlet-colored Beast from the
bottomless pit? History reveals that it was an "atheistical power"
which was behind the French Revolution. But it was more than that.
Atheism denies the existence
of God, but during the end of the French Revolution, France was worshiping
gods--such as the god of Reason and the god of Liberty. These gods were
literally a paganistic and spiritualistic representation of Lucifer.
Paganism and Spiritualism
both deny the authority of the God of heaven, and worship Lucifer as the god of
Light and Reason. Both these religions are similar and believe that the
teachings of Lucifer will cause those who believe and follow them to develop
into gods!
Further evidence reveals
that this "power" was Spiritualistic all along, and only used Atheism
as a means to achieve its goals. It then cast off Atheism when it needed her no
more.
To be more precise, the
spiritualistic power behind the French Revolution was the Secret Societies. And
more specifically it was the Order of the Illuminati that was the main power
behind the French Revolution!
Some believe that
Catholicism was the main power behind the French Revolution. But Catholicism
was only used to help get rid of the Protestant people, then Catholicism was
herself persecuted and given her deadly wound in 1798.
Others have suggested that Masonry
was the main power behind the French Revolution. But they are only half
correct. Untampered history reveals that the Masonic leadership was infiltrated
by the Illuminati, and its lodges and influence were then used as a working
front to further the plans of the Illuminati.
Thus the real power behind
the French Revolution--represented by the Scarlet-colored Beast of Revelation
17--was the spiritualistic, Luciferian secret society of The Order of the
Illuminati--or "The Order." Now why is this important to know? God
tells His people in Ecclesiastes 3:15:
"That which hath been is now:
and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that
which is past."
Therefore that which has
occurred in the past, is occurring now: and that which is yet to occur in the
future, has already occurred in the past. As this is true, then by knowing
history we can know what is occurring now and what is to occur in the future.
One writer realized this over 100 years ago and wrote:
