2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NIV) Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
In the perfect order of God, everything in creation can be viewed as a mathematical formula, IF, YOU can formulate the equation, and identify and understand the variables. When God directed the Holy Spirit of God to place a restriction on the secret power of lawlessness, referenced in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 printed above; then in perfect mathematical order, God also placed a reciprocal restriction, by veiling some of the knowledge and understanding about certain aspects of righteousness and prophecy, even from the "Born Again" Children of God. The wicked people have never been able to understand about righteousness and prophecy (1 Corinthians 2:14), but even the "Born Again" Children of God's knowledge and understanding of certain aspects of righteousness and prophecy, has heretofore been veiled. At the time that God gave visions to Daniel, referenced in Daniel 12:1-12 printed below; and John the Revelator, referenced in Revelation 10:1-4 printed below; God sealed up the knowledge and understanding about certain aspects of those visions, even from Daniel, and even from the "Born Again" Children of God.
Daniel 12:1-12 (NIV) "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?" The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed." I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?" He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. "From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."
Revelation 10:1-4 (NIV) Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down." Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will be no more delay! But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."
The fact that God has directed the Holy Spirit of God, to withdraw the Holy Spirit of God's restriction on lawlessness, is irrefutably evidenced by the exponential increase in sin that has occurred in the world within the last few months!
Mathew 24:12a,b (NIV) "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,"
The fact that God has directed the Holy Spirit of God, to withdraw the Holy Spirit of God's restriction on lawlessness, mathematically exposes the fact that God has also reciprocally directed the Holy Spirit of God, to withdraw the Holy Spirit of God's restriction on knowledge and understanding, of certain aspects of righteousness and prophecy, that have heretofore, been veiled even from the "Born Again" Children of God!
The fact that God has directed the Holy Spirit of God, to withdraw the Holy Spirit of God's restrictions on knowledge and understanding, of certain aspects of righteousness and prophecy, that have heretofore, been veiled even from the "Born Again" Children of God; is the reason why the "Born Again" Children of God are now able to know what "the seven thunders" are, and to understand what "the voices of the seven thunders spoke" about!
thunder: n 1: the sound that follows a flash of lightning and is caused by sudden expansion of the air in the path of the electrical discharge 2: a loud utterance or threat 3: BANG, RUMBLE <the ~ of big guns> Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary
"The voices of the seven thunders" are the very significant crisis, loud, and obvious events that will clearly reveal to the "Born Again" Children of God, that Jesus Christ's return is imminent.
Job 36:26-33 (NIV) How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance. He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark. His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.
Second "Thunder": The testimony of the "two witnesses"
Third "Thunder": The great head wound of the Antichrist
Fourth "Thunder": At 11:11 AM, on Friday, December 21, 2012, exactly 1260 days after July 9, 2009, the 17th of Tammuz; the galactic center of the Milky Way galaxy will align perfectly with our sun and our earth; at which precise time, Jesus Christ will open the First Seal of Seven Seals (Revelation 6:1-2). When Jesus Christ opens the First Seal of Seven Seals, the Antichrist will be given a crown and will ride out, "as a conquer bent on conquest" (Revelation 6:2).
Revelation 6:1-2 (NIV) I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
At that time, the devil through the Antichrist will be given power over the earth for the three and one-half year "great tribulation" Period (Matthew 24:21-22, Revelation 7:14); and the Antichrist will open, "his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation." (Revelation 13:6-7) In order for the Muslim Antichrist to conquer the world, the Antichrist must first eliminate the State of Israel, the United States of America, and the "two witnesses". Consequently, the Antichrist will invade the State of Israel, capture Jerusalem, and kill the "two witnesses"; simultaneous with a terrorist nuclear attack that will destroy the United States of America (end-time commercial Babylon). The people of the world will celebrate the death of the "two witnesses", by sending each other gifts. (Revelation 11:1-14)
Three and one-half days after Friday, December 21, 2012, on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 - Christmas Day, the Antichrist will, "put an end to sacrifice and offering" -Daniel 9:27, by the Jewish people; set himself up in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, "proclaiming himself to be God" - 2 Thessalonians 2:4. The Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple, "proclaiming himself to be God", at the exact time that the "two witnesses" come back to life and ascend to Heaven while their enemies look on (Revelation 11:1-14 ). The Antichrist setting himself up in the Jewish Temple and "proclaiming himself to be God", is a sinful act that will precipitate a great earthquake in Jerusalem that will kill 7,000 people. The earthquake will split the Mount of Olives into two parts, forming a great valley through which many of the Jewish people will "flee" - Zechariah 14:5, east to the caves in Petra, Jordan, "where she will be taken care of" - Revelation 12:8,14, for the last half of the Seven Year "covenant" Period, or the three and one-half year "great tribulation" Period. Jesus Christ's recommendation that people pray so that the Jewish, "flight" - Matthew 24:22, would not take place on the Sabbath was answered, as the Jewish "flight" will occur on Tuesday, and not on the Sabbath, but the Jewish "flight" will occur in winter.
Fifth "Thunder": The Antichrist and False Prophet will destroy Judeo-Christian Organized Religion (end-time religious Babylon), by loosely uniting Judeo-Christian Organized Religion with Judeo-Organized Religion, and Islam) and then the False Prophet will transition all Organized Religion into a worship of the Antichrist, by demanding a worship of the image of the Antichrist that the False Prophet will set up, along with the requirement to accept the Mark of the Beast in order to be able to buy or sell
Sixth "Thunder": The nuclear war in Asia, which could also include the detonation of biological, or neutron bombs
Seventh "Thunder": Jesus Christ Will Come In Judgment, Ending The "great tribulation" Period, And Allowing Those Gathered At Armageddon To Be Destroyed
Isaiah 29:6 (NIV) the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.
The fact that God has directed the Holy Spirit of God, to withdraw the Holy Spirit of God's restrictions on knowledge and understanding, of certain aspects of righteousness and prophecy, that have heretofore, been veiled even from the "Born Again" Children of God; such that the "Born Again" Children of God can now know what "the voices of the seven thunders spoke" about, is clear proof that YOU are now in, "the time of the end", referenced in Daniel 12:1-12 printed above; and clear proof that "the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet", referenced in Revelation 10:1-4 printed above!
