Bible Prophecy

TRUTH or False - If you accept the mark of the beast, you are going to burn in hell.

Revelation 14:9-10,"...If any man worship the beast and his image, & receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone..." - TRUTH.

If the fire & torment don't do it for you, the New Advent Catholic online encyclopedia admits to trying to change God's Law, so if you're trying to find it in Scripture...give up. In 364 A.D at the Council of Laodicia, the 4th beast thinks to change the 4th Commandment. Cut/paste http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3806.htm and scroll down to Canon 29:

7) "Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema* from Christ.”

* Definitions

- Anathema means cut off, excommunicated & detested by God

- Heads are mountains. (Revelation 17:9).

8) Revelation 17:9 symbolizes mountains with heads, so Google Search the Kingdom of 7 Hills or "City of 7 Hills". See "Rome" at Wikipedia (under Geography) to find, "The Rome of the Kings was built on 7 hills: the Aventine Hill, the Caelian Hill, the Capitoline Hill, the Esquiline Hill, the Palatine Hill, the Quirinal Hill, and the Viminal Hill."

Rome tells on itself in the following links: http://biblelight.net/hills-of-rome.gif

* Definitions - Mountains symbolize heads or kingdoms/powers that govern the world.  Isaiah 13:4; Jeremiah 51:24-25

* Definitions - Kings are Kingdoms, & the woman reigns over them.  Daniel 7:17-18, 23; Revelation 17:9-10,18; Hosea 1:2

* Definitions - Horns are Small Kingdoms or "the barbarian tribes". (Revelation 17:12)

9) In Daniel 7:7,20, Rome was divided into 10 horns or 10 Kingdoms (7 still exist today):

1 - Visigoths ( Spain )

2 - Anglo-Saxons ( England )

3 - Franks ( France )

4 - Alemani (Germany)

5 - Burgundians (Switzerland)

6 -Lombards (Italy)

7 - Suevi (Portugal)

10) - Daniel 7:8,24, three of the kingdoms obliterated (don't exist today).

8-Heruli (493 A.D.)

9-Vandals (534 A.D.)

10-Ostrogoths (remember this name).

Ostrogoths (538 A.D.) Go to Wikipedia, search "The 1st Siege of Rome" (in March 538 A.D.) & how the city of Rome was regained from the Ostrogoths, then power transferred from the emperor to the Pope, or state to church for the next 1260 years. Miraculously, the supernatural prophecy of this time span in Revelation 12:6 says, "...a thousand, two hundred & three scoredays".

TRUTH or False - Jesus knew a year was a day in prophecy.

TRUTH - See Numbers 14:34 & Ezekiel 4:6 but here’s Luke 13:32, "And He said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, & the 3rd day I shall be perfected." Jesus' ministry was 3 more years, not 3 more days.

11) 1260 days are in 42 months, or 3½ years. See how, Revelation 13:5, 11:2, 12:6,14, Daniel 7:25 & 12:7 refer to the same 1260 years. Research Hagia Sophia at Wikipedia & find,”The emperor, together with the patriarch Eutychius, inaugurated the new basilica on December 27, 537 with much pomp and circumstance”...the motorcade parade.

See Pope Pius VI at Wikiepdia, scroll down to Deposition and death under Napoleon (1st paragraph), & go to, “General Berthier marched to Rome, entered it unopposed on February 10, 1798, and, proclaiming a Roman Republic, demanded of the Pope the renunciation of his temporal authority...that’s 1260 years.

Pius VI was exiled from Rome to France and died in the city of Valence. Rev 13:3 prophesies Pius VII as successor & "his deadly wound was healed" (& still is today).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_VII#Election.

- Ancient calendar years were 360 days (a time), 720 is double (times), and 180 (half a time)....add it up for 1260.

From 1798, go back 1260 years, but there's more in the background. See Justinian’s Code at Wikipedia & go to "Legislation about religion". The danger was in Emperor Justinian trying to unify Church & State under the Pope. Notice, under "Laws against paganism", there was no freedom of religion, & non-Christian practices were treated as seriously as murder.

Even though Justinian's Code was issued 529 to 534, it wasn't in effect until 538, when Rome was freed from attackers called the Barbarians (Goths), & in this case, the Ostrogoths. See Wikipedia, “The Siege of Rome", & read at least the 1st paragraph of the Background & scroll down to the Aftermath.

12) Revelation 13:3 - deadly wound healed (1798) the official inauguration December of 537 A.D., as well as the removal of the Ostrogoths March 12 538 A.D., both fit the 1260 year time-frame.  Consider the deadly wound was healed, & it's now the largest Bible/Christian claiming church. Clear?

13) Rome presided over this region of Western Europe , and was eventually divided by "barbaric" tribes. Those tribes became the 10 countries (Kingdoms) to burn Rome down (Revelation 17:16).

ATTENTION! Some part-time Christians could see Heaven for all I know, so who am I to judge? I can't even get myself right! I'm must turn my actions to Jesus and walk by faith like everybody eslse. We all fall short, so even though we can judge right and wrong, I can't judge myself, and I can't judge you. Don't take the results of my own personal research as an attack, only for you to use as a cop-out. Remove me from the picture & study for yourself.
