God’s Timetable:
And where we are at…
Editors Note: It needs to be pointed out that we live in a physical and spiritual dimension. This is at the very heart of the command that Jesus gave concerning “ye must be born again”. This one concept alone for many people is an insurmountable obstacle that they fail to see the meaning of. For them, they live inexorably in a world where physical convention takes precedence over the spiritual due to the practicality of tradition, experience, environment, social, or religious upbringing. This is exactly why Nicodemus as a learned teacher of the “law” didn’t get it. This is why most people today don’t get it either. The remnant get it as they cry out to the multitude to come out of “her”. It was the same “her” that Nicodemus was part of back in his day as physical Israel. Some things never change. Parenthetically, I am NOT in the predicting business. However, it needs to be pointed out that there is a collision of the physical with the spiritual and actually always has been even going back to the garden of Eden, Cain & Abel etc., and all the way fast forward to the present. It also must be noted that eschatology is a big factor in these events where this final manifestation is most apparent. “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven”. While I ardently adhere to a spiritual overlay to the physical, the end time events will play out for the Word says “for the time is at hand”. That “time” will become apparent when it happens. Time is relative and a commodity where God is concerned and He will bring it about according to His divine purpose. I will NOT make predictions concerning specific time frames. (If), current events line up with written prophecy, then we can know with assurance that the Lord is bringing it about. Kind of like driving down the road and looking for the mile markers and road “signs” that point us in the right direction. And that is my only motivation in writing this article. In the end, let the Word of God be our only rule and guide of our faith and remember, ye must be born again. --Scott--
Common Sense Sequencing:
Logistically, there seems to be some protocol events and precursors that “ramp up” to the final events of the tribulation. Whenever you see world government rear its ugly head for the final go-round; know for a fact that man’s history in all likelihood has come full circle. We must remember that world government in its nascent form began at the Tower of Babel which later re manifested in the 1st empire of Egypt (and has been downhill ever since) sequentially speaking. What is also interesting is that God destroyed the tower of Babel and will also destroy the final tower of Babel. It is so true about what they say – “history teaches man that man learns nothing from history”.
It’s also safe to say at this prophetic juncture that no one can technically be a strict Preterist (that end time events happened in 70AD) or, a strict Historicist (eschatology as it relates or related to the historical times et al Nero etc.) or even a strict Futurist because in all honesty, it’s all three that run concurrently and harmonize with different overlays. God cannot be confined to space or time per se whether it be past, present, or future. The other schematic being a non linear coalescence of arbitrary or ad hoc events that come together in God’s sovereign plan as related in the Bible however, even this has to be put in proper perspective. It therefore must be said that prophecy is progressive with many layers that were played out, are being played out, and will be played out. It is again safe to say eschatologically that we await one final stage before we come to the fulfillment of the millennial kingdom. In any case, it will happen when God wants it to happen (and not before).
Concerning the millennial kingdom – how many people even know or talk about the first resurrection? How many people even know about the millennial kingdom (outside of the “Rapture Cult” with their flesh-satisfying doctrine that twists scripture concerning their supposed departure)? The sad part is – I’m referring to the so-called Christians who have been taught false Kingdom-now theology, false Replacement theology, or false Dual Covenant theology and even this is beside the myriads of other false denominational heresies and nuances. We are talking about hundreds of millions of Christians (apart from the false Rapture theology).
Most remnant believers who came out of the Church system seem to attest to a 3 and ½ year sequence vice a 7 year misreading of Daniel 9-27 (The ‘he” who confirms the covenant is Jesus Christ not the anti-Christ) which institutionalized Christians (the multitude) purport to. Then, on top of all this are millions of other self professing Christians who don’t even know what the above deals with because their institution has told them that this type of eschatology is an allegory or literary device…
It’s no wonder that vast numbers of people are confused, mislead, and lied to. It’s no wonder that "Mystery Babylon” has in her final incarnation totally mesmerized the common people into a denial and self-preservation mode while they protect themselves by a dialect that insures conformity to their relationship with their corporate structures. It’s no wonder that they don’t have the “eyesalve” to see this and assume that since it was good for their prior parental lineage to pursue these Church traditions that they conform to its constructs as well.
It is also no wonder when John had looked at what all this had all become; that he “wondered with great admiration”. In other words – he couldn’t believe his eyes.
Nevertheless, a non linear sequence at least to the believer is somewhat nebulous outside of time constraints and actually lends to conjecture at best. There are however, multiple instances where 3 and ½ years, 1260 days, 42 months, time, times, and half or the dividing of time come into focus which somewhat narrows down the duration of the tribulation cycle. Even this time flow could change with the Lords statement that “if those days were not shortened, no man would survive”.
So, it’s all in the timing of when the tribulation starts…
As an adjunct - many people think that Love will get you to heaven. That is why we are heading down the slippery slope to where people say that we’re all in the same humanity and can worship any god we desire as long as we do it in love. The love of the Truth gets you to heaven and Jesus Christ is the Truth. This is why Jesus gave the parable of the talents and said to whom much is given, much is required. If people say they love Him but do not the things he commands – that is not Love. His Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us and now we seem to be in the final struggle for what side of this equation a person will be on. Either they deny Him or, they take up their cross and follow Him. Please don’t tell me – what about the aborigine who has never heard of the Gospel?
I speak this to the shame of the Christians who also believe there are “many pathways to God” as the last Pope articulated.
What about the people who have heard the gospel and still persist in their grievous man-made institutionalized traditions? Isn’t this exactly why the Lord said that a man’s foes shall be they of his own household?
God’s ways are not man’s ways and man’s ways are not God’s ways…
What are you going to do with the talents you were given?
While the world has relegated Christianity to just another sub-class category of religious thought, they nonetheless, have their proponents who promulgate another Christ or Christ-consciousness who will arrive on the scene as a new age avatar, savant, Imam, Buddha, or Maitreya and usher in the new age of Aquarius which they point out will replace the old age of Pisces (i.e. the fish/Christianity). This is nothing more than demonic posturing rearing its ugly anti-Christ head in the form of mystical alchemy.
Right now the world is gyrating towards a global economy, government, and religion. You will be expected to take whatever shots the government gives you concerning your health, you will be expected to conform to whatever the government deems well and good for you concerning your welfare, you will be expected to be electronically tracked and monitored concerning your business transactions, and you will be expected to conform to a world religion that consolidates all religions especially into a form that regards mother earth as a living organism that you must respect.
Even though the world is racing towards this end, God has different plans that conform to His divine schedule. He will bring it about when He deems necessary.
And not a moment too soon.
A couple of things in the spiritual house need to be put in order:
- Prophecy in or on God’s timetable has already happened. He knows the end from the beginning… All we are doing right now is going through the motions.
- Whether it happens today, tomorrow, or 144 years from now is up to God.
- Our goal should be to be part of the first resurrection.
Man-made Empires:
The world’s empires attest to this un-holy relationship as further codified in Revelation as fornication which is a spiritual illicit relationship between partners who are not legally married. If this doesn’t explain in blunt simple terms the relationship between the Church and State (read Government) status that we have right now – if people don’t understand this – they never will. They just don’t have the ears to hear or the eyes to see this. Or, they are in denial.
In other words while “all religions” have this uneasy physical marriage between church and state the world over, it is the Christians who are a Holy people, a separate people, a peculiar people who as a called out assembly of believers and chaste bride who must serve the Lord in spirit and in truth. Indeed, the blatant reality being that God does NOT respect this unholy liaison that is present in the physical world and God gives the clarion call spiritually to detach from it. No wonder that God in all His wisdom gives as a didactic enigmatic statement by proclaiming MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT. If people don’t understand the physical relationship – how can they understand the spiritual admonition???
This is the “Nicodemus syndrome” played out all over again. Nicodemus never got it that physical Israel had to be “reborn” individually and en masse as the elect and chosen spiritual Israel… And now we have the same dichotomous situation that exists in the physical relationship with Church and State and the Lord gives it the spiritual similitude of “whoredom”.
When, when, when, are people going to wake up and come out of her?
She will be judged…
Rev 17 –
1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains (think pyramids or empires), on which the woman sitteth.
10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
- Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece (have fallen)
- Rome (“one is” when John wrote this prophecy)
- America (“must continue a short space”)
- Jerusalem (Israel is final beast government for tribulation period)
12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
· This is where everything as far as the last day’s government all ties in.
· This is where this 10 regional conglomerate will divide up the world into 10 separate kingdom entities just like the scripture says.
· This is where they give their allegiance to the beast one hour (a very short time frame).
· This is also where the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
· This is where – when you see this – then you will know.
15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
· You do not want to be in any Church corporate structure or construct now or in the future. That is why the Word says to “come out of “her” (while you still have time).
17For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
· This will happen…
18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
- Speaking of the two witnesses which identifies that (or the) great city:
Rev 11:7-8 –
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
- That great city is Jerusalem.
- Sodom = an illicit spiritual union between its members.
- Egypt = was the original pyramidal world system structure and spiritually corrupt as she enslaved its members (if you still don’t believe she exists – just look on the back of your dollar bill).
Prophecy is not chronological. It is multilayered and progressive. The judgments: 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, 7 Vials – are expanding events with the longest being the Seals, second longest being the Trumpets and the shortest sequence being the Vials with the 6th Seal (7th being silence in Heaven for space of ½ hour) the 7th Trumpet, and all the Vials (7th included) ALL end in the wrath of God.
- Jesus comes back exactly when he says he comes back:
- Either a person will be watching or they won’t.
- Either they will have the right spiritual garments on as the righteousness of the saints or they won’t.
Rev 16:13 –
13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
--All these above events should not scare anyone. They should however, give a person great comfort and confidence in the Lord of Hosts, the King of Kings, and the Prince of Peace. When Jesus comes back as the Word says “that there should be time no longer”. This is a reference to the false rendering of time and false pagan holidays and false pagan days that we have labored under for hundreds and hundreds of years. God will institute His time and His seasons and His direct worship to the Lamb which will be in New Jerusalem where there shall be no more need of the sun or moon because the Lamb shall give the light.
Converging events that confirm tribulation prophecy seem to be all around us. The “handwriting on the wall” so to speak. It will certainly be a time of great tribulation when it commences. Men’s hearts will fail them for fear as the Bible says. We are to keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ at all times and not any man, ministry, or even myself. My only purpose with this web site is to try and warn people of the impending danger and try to get them to turn their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ and his undefiled Word that never comes back void.
And the rains will come at a time when you least expect them. Either you will have your spiritual ark built on the Rock or you won’t. You’ll either be part of:
- the Heathen (cold)
- the Multitude (lukewarm)
- or, the Remnant (hot)
It’s time to study and shew thyself approved. If you have fine – pass this info on to others and increase your talents and they theirs. And don’t worry about it getting too hot in the desert. God has a way of bringing a person through the fire as the Scriptures attest.
Are you willing to make the sacrifice and follow the Lamb withersoever he goeth?
Are you willing to take up your cross and follow Him – even if it means to forsake all the conventional wisdom of the world?

Post Script:
“When we find out who we are as spiritual Israel, come out of Mystery Babylon, and try to tell others of the spiritual dangers involved, it puts us into the camp of the remnant. And there are very few of us out here in the spiritual desert”.
May God guide you on your journey…
