Recognizing Apostasy and Deception ~ by Dene McGriff

A concise handbook for the end times' Christian on how to recognize apostasy and deception  and what to do about it.  It will answer some very important questions like: How do we recognize apostasy and deception in the church?  How far are we down the road to apostasy?  Can you tell the difference?  Do you have an alternative to the apostate church?

In Search of Babylon  ~ by Dene McGriff

Bible prophecy speaks of a great “end times” empire out of which the antichrist comes that dominates the world in commercial and military terms.  The greatest “blind spot” among Christians today is their inability to identify prophetic Babylon.  --can you identify the culprit? Who is this great apostate “Christian” nation?  What is in store for us?

In Search of the "Last Days Church"  ~ by Dene McGriff

 Much is said about the "early church", but what about the "last days" church? Does God have anything to say about it? Are we to continue with business as usual or is there something more? "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the church." This is an in-depth analysis of the church as it is ... and as it should be.

Unsealing the End of Days, the Visions and Prophecies of Zechariah ~ by Doug Krieger

The “visions of Zechariah” are written for today’s “end times” Christian.  The full symbolism is revealed for the first time in this book – as relevant as it gets, especially as it unveils the mystery of the “Two Witnesses”.  The “Word” has come to life as never before.  We are truly living in days of fulfillment and prophetic anticipation.

The Road to Damascus  ~ by Doug Krieger

This up to date book deals with those events that are leading up to the Gog-Magog War, the Treaty of Hell and Death and the beginning of the final seven year count down.  The “Road” describes in detail the destruction of Syria and the exact participants in the Gog-Magog conflagration.  This book is up to date and contains the latest news and events with the latest prophetic revelation.  As the time draws closer, our vision becomes clearer.

Antichrist and the Gog-Magog War  ~ by Doug Krieger

The constellation of Middle Eastern nations has reached its "prophetical zenith" -- we are at the door of Ezekiel's Gog-Magog War and the supernova conflict between Western Empire and Radical Islam. This is a sizeable discourse on the subject; commencing in a clash of cultures and ending with the Kings of the East and Antichrist at Armageddon contending over the "hidden treasures" of the Middle East.

            Antichrist - reflections on the desolator ~  by Doug Krieger (1/22/08)

A major work on the Antichrist has not occurred since Arthur W. Pink’s work on this sinister figure.  This exposition attempts to place the whereabouts of this final desolation within the context of the biblical text that prefigures the DESPICABLE ONE as ascending from the Greco-Roman world depicted in Daniel’s prophesies and visions of the end of days.  It is inescapable –  we are forced, by the preponderance of texts, to conclude the personification of Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, Islam nor the spirit of the New Age.  No, Antichrist is the pinnacle of Western Man – the locus of Babylon the Great.  He becomes the Beast and his Kingdom – the Beast Kingdom.  His body is physical – his spirit is, through the Abomination of Desolation, incarnated by Satan himself who entered into Judas Iscariot to perform the dastardly deed of betrayal:  THE TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION.  Your concepts of these findings will be challenged to the max; however, and in spite that our pre-tribulational brethren are convinced we are mesmerized by Antichrist, not Jesus Christ – we, nevertheless, insist the Blessed Hope does not obfuscate the exposure of the Last Days’ Assyrian.  To the contrary – the admonition is straightforward:  Be NOT ignorant of his devices!  There can be no greater discovery of his machinations than this exposure.  We commend these studies to God’s people to encourage them to “overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”  For, through the Lamb and the TESTIMONY of His people are we convinced that “the Accuser of the brethren is cast down!” 

            The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger

Although some would declare Bible prophecy’s irrelevance and demise—yet they fail to realize the world is mesmerized by its allure and prescient message of pending doom and hope.  Disinterest is not an option—there’s too much going on in today’s world that demands answers.  Jesus’ virtual warning and admonition to “discern the times and the seasons” strikes its urgency upon the world’s hapless crowds – how will this thing end before it begins again? 

In the post-modern age of relativism where all things spiritual are being reduced to their least common denominator, and hence, to their absurd dilution of prophetic potency, has infected its virus upon us all and extinguished the virility of the prophetic message.  The thinking goes that we should all just get along if we’re believers—so that the world can see our love, etc. – throw conviction and disparity of the prophetic Scriptures out the window for it sows discord among the brethren. 

When this age of “prophetic reasonableness” concludes, we will be left with a residue of frightful compromise and discontent—for we’ve sown irrational ecumenism to the wind in the name of evangelical unity and we will have reaped the disquieting result of a Christianity whose “prophetic voice” has been silenced . . . offering little if any hope to a bewildered world aghast at what’s happening and why!

The PROPHETIC SEQUENCE is the anecdote—for it is in and of itself the power of the prophetic—“But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great” (Daniel 12:4, Amplified Bible).

May you anxiously search the Scriptures to see if these things be so—and if so, ACT—for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY—and that means you’ve got to stand up and step-it-up, for the time is near.

Rise or fall of American Empire ~ by Doug Krieger

This six-part series of articles were written between late May and early August of 2007. At issue is America’s role as global policeman through her extensions of military bases and globalization of commerce. Is she that “End of Days” commercial empire awaiting judgment in Revelation 18? Is she also not that final expression of Gentile World Power foreseen by the prophets of both Testaments and whose torturous judgment concludes in Revelation 19? Is her brand of militant Christianity the final expression of that woman who rides the Beast in Revelation 17—APOSTATE religion?

Calling Forth the Remnant By Way of the Cross ~ by Stella Paterson

"Calling Forth the Remnant" by Stella Paterson is a must read for us smart, wealthy Laodicean, modern type Christians!  Stella calls us back to our roots to discover the mess we have gotten into.  If you were to ask any Biblically literate person, what is the main characteristic of the "last days" church, the academic answer is easy: "apostasy".  But when we consider the fact that we may be describing ourselves, we may reconsider.  Woops?  That just couldn't be.
 
Read this book and you will see how far we have fallen (and apostasy means 'falling away').  I quote Stella, "No minister makes the decision to be a false teacher.  But he is a false teacher if he relies on his own flesh and traditions handed down by others rather than seek the face of God."  This book helps us examine our false conceptions, traditions, the role of the clergy, our "sanctuaries", and programs.  God is calling forth a remnant and as Stella points out, a period of complacency and carelessness is historically followed by persecution.  The tribulation of the saints will sift out that remnant which will stand as a glorious testimony in spite of (and because of) the persecution.  Our choices will be limited: to be a part of the problem or the solution, the persecutors or the persecuted. 
 
Only the Holy Spirit can give us the spirit of revelation so our prayer is that God will use this book to open your spiritual eyes.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs ~ by John Foxe

Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, is an inspiring legacy of the Church’s witness and testimony. It is “the testimony of Jesus” wherein John the Apostle “saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held . . . and they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed” (Revelation 6:9-10); therefore, it records the blood of the martyrs of Jesus and speaks to the present and ultimately, to that future day of tribulation and glory!

 

War on the Saints ~ by Jessie Penn Lewis

Christians need to understand the true nature of the warfare going on today in the heavenlies, on the earth, and in their hearts.  This classic will open your eyes and heart to see beyond the mundane teachings you have become accustomed to.  It will also expose the dangers of today’s “counterfeit revival.”  Although written nearly a hundred years ago, this is a timely book for today’s church.

Centrality of the Cross ~ by Jessie Penn Lewis

Jessie Penn Lewis' classic on the Cross' Centrality is one of the most inspirational commentaries that sets Christianity apart from all other religions on earth--there is a "Lamb upon the Throne" and His description will forever declare the message of redemption and transformation in the life of every believer.  The subjective aspects of the Cross of Christ in our lives--and the daily dying to self--is the unmistakable contribution that JPL has given to the Church!

The Coming Prince ~ by Sir Robert Anderson 

The work of Sir Robert Anderson represents the high water mark of Nineteenth Century eschatology.  His exegesis and commitment to copious detail, is unique and refreshing.  Although written in the "elaborate style" of most Nineteenth Century writers, its prophetical intensity more than compensates, as it maintains the interest of the reader.   

Sir Anderson's life (1841- 1918) encompassed the Victorian Era and the great eschatological awareness sweeping the English-speaking world.  A time of empire, colonialism and Biblical discovery concerning the rise of that final end-times' "Revived Roman Empire" and of THE COMING PRINCE, the Antichrist.  For it will be this prince who shall be that vile manifestation and ultimate Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Jesus, who shall, as the YOUNGER HORN, be the persecutor of both Jew and "Tribulation Saint."  Daniel's revelation of the "Messiah the Prince" is in counter distinction to "The Coming Prince" - - FOR ONE IS THE CHRIST, AND THE LATTER IS THE ANTICHRIST! 

Daniel's passages are elaborately detailed; especially, the SEVENTY WEEKS, and the incredible details of the actual DECREE TO REBUILD THE CITY OF JERUSALEM under Artaxerxes until Messiah's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.  The chronological precision is astounding and puts to shame the faulty calculations from "Haley's Bible Handbook" and other historical interpreters of eschatology.  They who deny the final Seventieth Week is yet to come, simply REFUSE to configure the pristine detail that this former Chief of Scotland Yard has determined.   

Indeed, Sir Anderson, knighted by Queen Victoria for his professionalism in intelligence gathering and discovery (i.e., perhaps the "original" CSI-Crime Scene Investigator), "investigates" the Scripture and defends against the higher criticism of his day with such passion, that if a trial were held, I can assure you, Sir Anderson would win the case hands down!  Could it possibly be that Sir Anderson IS the fictional character of Sherlock Holms?  Some have so speculated. 

But one thing is for certain:  There is no fictional character to come . . . Sir Anderson makes his case for that final Roman Prince whose original legions "destroyed the city and the sanctuary" in 70 A.D. but who will this time IN PERSON come to establish a PEACE TREATY or DEFENSE PACT (not THE Covenant as some ill-informed so contrive) with Israel in the latter days, so commencing the infamous final 70th Week of Daniel.  Further, as Anderson's investigation continues, this "Coming Prince" shall suspend his "agreement with the many" in "the midst of the week" and so shall the final 3 1/2 years of the GREAT TRIBULATION ensue. 

You'll marvel at Sir Anderson's tone regarding a future rebirth of prophetical Israel.  Friend, here is the very essence of British eschatological anticipation of THE REGATHERING OF THE EXILES to their ancient homeland . . . the precursor to the Second Coming, couched in terminology so anticipatory of May, 1948 (Israel’s Nationhood) that it sweeps your breath away and causes you to stand before your Messiah, fully assured, that He Who keeps covenant, shall utterly keep all those committed to His eternal trust! 

Persistence, my lad . . . that's what's needed as you journey with this "Prophetical Sherlock" while he pursues the truth, gathers his evidence and, at last, amasses an ironclad case and ultimate conviction.  Read it like a novel and you will treasure Sir Anderson's insights the rest of your life- - all skeptics to the back of the room, please!  Today, the skeptics and scoffers proliferate, but, Alas!, the Almighty has His "Andersons" even in high places to confirm what is truth in the midst of apostasy and rampant lies on every side.  May the Lord stir His people in this final hour prior to the greatest CSI ever!  Let all those who distain the specificity of such Biblical investigation be put to shame for their superficial handling of the Word of God!  Now . . . go to . . . "let God be true but every man a liar!" (Romans 3:4)

Miller's Church History ~ by Andrew Miller

Pergamos Ministries affirms the outstanding labors in Church History compiled by Andrew Miller in the 1800s.  Miller has committed to the Church one of the most spiritual accountings ever recorded.  His "epical" rendering of the Seven Churches of Asia depict the condition of seven general eras of Church History from the times of the apostles to the present.  Frankly, the inspirational tone throughout the book (some 50+ chapters), leaves the reader awestruck and humbled by the Church's legacy . . . we are admonished to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches" for the time is short.  May the Lord greatly bless us all as we read of our triumphs, despairs, sufferings, revivals and awakenings throughout history; and, as we come to terms with our apostasies and deceptions, may we rise up in prophetic voice to challenge them "by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our Testimony!"

Dawning: The Next Great Move of God ~ by Kenneth Uptegrove

Ken Uptegrove has just finished a book titled Dawning: the Next Great Move of God and I love how he begins in the Forward: “We are coming into the worst of times and the best of times—all at the same time.”  It is a shame that most of the church has all the wrong expectations thinking they are going to be spared having to take a stand and be a witness in the last days.  This will be the church’s finest moment – not something to be feared.   Ken goes on to say that “time is God’s will in motion.”   Most Christians are stuck in time, stuck in teachings that have been passed down from one generation to another.  Prophecy doesn’t hold much interest to many believers because they are told that it has already happened, or the church will rapture escaping any “tribulation” or that the church will take dominion over the earth. 

We don’t really want to be bothered by God’s talking to us.  We know enough.  We have our life insurance policy.  Now we just want to get through, keeping hearth and home together.  But instead of escaping, Ken sees a powerful role for the church: “Presently we are waiting for the Church in our generation to be pruned and revived, then harvest will be imminent. In that harvest, the Church will celebrate over a great gathering of souls for Jesus.” 

His goal is to “bring unity and community to the body of Christ.”  He encourages us to get back to the basics.  The church is entering its finest hour and the harvest is ripe.  Unfortunately, there are wheat and tares in the harvest and deception is rampant in the church.  That doesn’t mean there are not many believers within the church; and that God desperately wants to reveal Himself and His plans to His body.  Many will be lead away into deception, escapism or the political church.  But others will rediscover community and the body life with other saints and find refreshing revival in His presence, an anointing for service and a willingness to give all for Him. 

I urge you to preview this book and let God speak to your heart.  This may very well be much more than the “next” great move of God but the “final” move before His long awaited coming.  Maranatha!  Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

How Can We Know If These Are the End Times? ~ by Dene McGriff  (11/03)

This is a question every generation asks itself.  Even early Christians thought they were in the end times and 2,000 years later things keep moving on.  Why didn't God just get it over with back then?  People get tired of "chicken littles" running around telling us the sky is falling, the world is going to end, but it doesn’t.  We're still here. 

The Rapture Question ~ by Dene McGriff

There is no issue of greater importance to the “end times” Christian.  Action follows belief.  The doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture is one of the great apostate teachings of the day and is not supported by any straight forward reading of the Bible.  It brings us to the importance of the “Two Witnesses”.  Who are they?  What is their purpose?

Chronology of the Book of Revelation  ~ by Dene McGriff

The Book of Revelation appears to be a daunting book because it is full of imagery and seems to bounce all over time, but like an old friend, once you get to know it, it really isn’t that bad.  Follow the parallels.  Follow the themes.  Previously, we put to rest the issue of the rapture.   It is important to understand the order of events – what occurs and when.  Revelation is not that hard to understand if you grasp the main theme – the testimony of Jesus Christ which is seen in his two peoples, the two witnesses: Israel and the church.  Timing is important and this reinforces the timing of the rapture.

The Church in Tribulation -- Why? ~ by Dene McGriff  (12/04)

The church will be persecuted but it will not suffer any judgment or wrath of God.  This is an extremely important distinction.  The timeline is clear.  But the question remains, why is this important to God?  Why put us through it?  What does it accomplish?

Earthquakes of Biblical Proportion  ~ by Doug Krieger  (1/05)

Is there a possible pattern of quakes in the New Testament?  Could there be some such significant message or rendering of prophetical importance by following the given accounts of such quakes in these Scriptures?   The point to be made here is the “prophetical sphere” of the shaking:  Heaven AND Earth.   The Messiah is coming . . The final shaking in the heavens AND the earth will echo with perplexity and distress as the sea and the waves roar . . . “they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”   

On Twisting the Word of God ~ by Dene McGriff (10/05)

Dene outlines why Revelation 18:4 does not demand that all believers leave the country. In fact, the reader is informed that Rev. 18:4 comes chronologically after the Tribulation.

Trident Wars
Part I – The Prophetic Sequence  ~ by Doug Krieger (07/06)

Trident Wars—three major conflagrations are apocalyptically poised to wreak havoc upon the inhabitants of the earth—yet, interspersed throughout are revivals, awakenings, and eternal harvesting by the Lord of the Harvest.  Setting in motion earth’s final indiscretions will be:  The Oracle of Damascus; next, the Gog-Magog Conflagration; and finally, the Battle of Armageddon.  This first in a continuous series known as the PROPHETIC SEQUENCE provides an overview of prophetic highlights—seen as “peaks” on the Bible’s eschatology—into the Millennial Reign of the Messiah and the Eternal State.  Yet, we must focus in on these three concentric circles which surround Jerusalem and bring order to the chaos which awaits the planet!

Damascus will cease from being a city
Part II – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Zechariah 9 and Isaiah 17-18 seem altogether distant—yet they both speak of the Burden of Damascus yet future.  There is no superficial disconnect between Zechariah and Isaiah—only total prophetic collaboration.  Both speak of the destruction, defeat, and acquiescence of a future Syria, Lebanon, and even that of the Palestinian Authority!  Grief—how could Scriptures be so incredibly specific to see so accurately into the future?  Let us peer into the amazing insights of these ancient prophets who foretold of THE WAR that would ultimately conclude the Arab-Israeli conflict and usher in the COMPREHENSIVE PEACE AGREEMENT so longed for by the nations of the world

Till the end of the War”
Part III – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

The senseless and ceaseless Arab-Israeli Conflict is viewed as a six-part confrontation between antagonists . . . but it soon will terminate in a massive display of animosity and hatred in which its seventh and complete cataclysm will usher in an exhausted world and secular Zionist, both yearning for relief—even so, the elusive COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SETTLEMENT awaits us all. As of this writing the sixth episode in this, THE WAR, displays its outrage . . . yet its conclusion remains . . . this article brings secular observation and Biblical prophetic fact, face to face—this read will surprise you!

Israel's War
Part IV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Daniel 9:26b informs that Israel would endure desolations “till the end of THE WAR” – this article outlines the six major conflicts endured by Jacob since, what the Arabs entitle: The Catastrophe, 1948. From here the Sinai Campaign, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition, the Yom Kippur War, the 1982 Lebanon War, and finally the sixth war, the current Syrophoenicia War between Israel and Hezbollah (2006). What awaits is the Seventh War—as if a Divine Hand had tolerated this awful waste; yet, its prediction in light of Iran-Syria-Israel-USA antagonisms portends the immediate futurity of this conclusive and imminent tragedy.

America's Patriotic Prophets
Part V – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Hiding America’s involvement in the end-time’s prophetic sequence of events are a host of what’s been tabbed: The American Patriotic Prophets. This article either gets you mad, sad, or glad that you’re not a part of this stupidity that attempts to persuade you that “America is NOT in Bible Prophecy” – when, in point of glaring fact: THE USA IS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF BIBLE PROPHECY! Read on, then weep—for the same Patriotic Prophets who brought you the good news of the pre-tribulation rapture—now bring you America’s divine destruction immediately following the Secret Rapture . . . who says you can’t be fooled twice!

Three Wars & One Peace Treaty
Part VI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Hasidic Jews, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and one pot-full of Evangelicals in America have a lot in common. For one—they are vehemently anti-Communist (especially, RUSSIAN communists) and both see Russia involved in the Gog-Magog War. Bashing Russia fits the profile of the Patriotic Prophets well—but the target is off—very off! This article examines why the Oracle of Damascus, according to Hal Lindsey, must come AFTER the rapture of the Church and why Gog-Magog, according to Dave Hunt and his “Jerusalem, a cup of trembling,” is really the Battle of Armageddon and doesn’t occur until at the end of Daniel 70th Week. Well, just why are these prophetic nuances so important—this article will bring this to life—and bring us all face to face with our prophetic destiny!

He will confirm the covenant... but who is he? 
Part VII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Those who deny the futurity of the Seventieth Week of Daniel’s prophecy and the Coming Prince, the Antichrist personified in the body of a man, yet undisclosed—look upon those who do affirm this prophetic posture as wholly deceived by Satan and headed toward utter destruction! One such critic on Israel’s future, and the Antichrist, is survivalist James Lloyd—who delights to renounce Dispensationalists in no uncertain terms; thence, he presents a clear target of rank doctrinal error, and we are more than obliged to “take him on” – for he claims we have committed “the unpardonable sin” – well, them’s fightin’ words, folks, big time!

The Prince Who Is To Come. . . But who is he?
Part VIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Century’s speculation of the identity of the Man of Sin, the Willful King, the Son of Perdition, the Lawless One runs rampant—in sum:  Who is the Antichrist!  This slithering imposter of Messiah shall present himself as the earth’s officious peace maker whose origins revolve around the title of The Coming Prince, or Roman Prince.  Hence, the incessant speculation of the Euro-Centric Antichrist:  Prince of Wales, King Juan Carlos I, or a beast from the sea of common man like Mussolini or Hitler.  Who is this Knight in Shining Amour set to strut his stuff upon the world’s scene—and, could he be found in the mixed multitude of Europe’s extension:  The USA?

The Devil Made Me Do I. . . . not a diversion 
Part IX – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (09/06)

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Pope Benedict XVI this past week (September 17-23, 2006) wound up on the opposite ends of “the devil made me do it” – Chavez by calling President Bush at the UN annual gathering of heads of state the “devil” and Pope Benedict XVI quoting from a 14^th Century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, who decried Islam as a violent religion:  “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”  These two horrific outbursts only heighten the “War of Civilizations” taking place on the map—and, likewise, President Bush’s onslaughts on pressing upon the Middle East his version of democracy, much to the chagrin of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad—both of whom made this week’s follies at the UN a real display of world disintegration!

By peace he shall destroy many
Part X – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (10/06)

Ah! Blessed are the peace makers—even so, when will our fearless leader oblige the nations until there is the much-vaunted COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SEATTLEMENT long-promised to the nations of the Middle East? Could it possibly be that “by peace he shall destroy many?” What an oxymoronic concept: DESTRUCTIVE PEACE! Even so—is that not what is happening? This article points an accusatory finger at the Man of Peace—the ANTICHRIST; and, likewise, rejects the insipid doctrines of Protestants who surmise that Antichrist is but a spirit abiding in the Roman Catholic Church. The denial that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (a fete the early Gnostics disbursed) was denounced as ANTICHRIST! Even so, there are many antichrists that are “gone out into the world” – and there is also what the Apostle John called “the spirit of antichrist.” But, don’t be so naïve—THE Antichrist lurks beneath and abounds in the “spirit of antichrist” that has gone out into the world!

Early Church Fathers Our Prophetic Legacy
Part XI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (10/06)

The “Prophetic Sequence” is NOT based upon spurious history—no, we base our “findings” up the foundations of the “Early Church Fathers” – whereas others “among us” have little respect, nor inclination, to investigate the origins of apocalyptic drama in the Latter Days. Their outrageous prognostications are an embarrassment to clear-thinking Christians who know that to claim there is little relevance in the writings of “The Fathers” only belies their contempt for our founders and betrays the continuity of the faith once delivered! This writer is pleased to quote Polycarp, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Hippolytus in this pursuit of eschatological excellence—while exposing the absurdities of modern-day proponents who claim historical credibility, only to be exposed for their shallow and agenda-driven interpretations of true historical fact! No—the Antichrist, the future Seventieth Week of Daniel, the Abomination of Desolation, the future Treaty with Death and Hell, the revival of Roman Empire and its “Western Leadership” – the Antichrist – are all recorded by the Fathers—you do well to take heed to their remarkable consistencies, including the future manifestation of a literal 1,000-year millennium!

Theo-Neo-Paleo Cons…I saw a woman mounted on a Scarlet-colored Beast
Part XII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The 2006 election approaches--and will have concluded by your reading--all the while the SEVENTH KING of John’s Revelation inexorably lunges forth to the top of the hill to be the American Exceptionalism foreseen by preacher and politico. Theocons and their allies have little eschatological grasp of what they are about--all “in the name of God” and worse yet, in the Name of the Judeo-Christian-Evangelical-Catholic God! The “Woman Mounts the Beast” - and in so doing seeks the political wherewithal to orchestrate her theodicy--all the while the Beast upon whom she sits declares his noble and global intensions in the pursuit of his mercantile empire. Alas! Moral justification for the SEVENTH KING has always been sought--its culmination and eventual identification with the Beast himself, the EIGHTH (who is of the SEVENTH)--but will no longer be permitted, for he will turn on her, devour her, and burn her with fire!

Full Nuclearization... Israel will disappear.
Part XIII - The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

Go figure—the Democrats are viewed by radical Islam as the voice of sanity and retreat from their sacred lands.  So, the first thing they do is shoot Nancy Pelosi’s top anti-war critic, John Murtha.  Now, that makes a lot of sense.  Everyone puts on the smiley face and acts like nothing happened but “love and oneness.”  Meanwhile Pat Robertson proposes Northern Iraq be merged with Syria, forming Assyria (getting ready for Isaiah’s prophecy about a highway extending from Assyria to Egypt through Israel).  Then there’s mega-purpose-driven Rick Warren paying obeisance to the Grand Mufti of Damascus and turning into a Propaganda Prophet for Syria.  Man, can somebody save us from ourselves before President Ahmadinejad “disappears” Israel; all the while the USA, now amassing a monster flotilla in the Persian Gulf, blows the modern-day Haman off the map bringing in the 12th Imam and the Islamic Messiah!  Oh, yes, this has been quite a month . . . and it’s only beginning.

The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10)
Part XIV - The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The TESTIMONY OF JESUS is about to be empowered through the TWO WITNESSES—Israel and the Church—at the close of the age.  This is the “spirit of prophecy” – this is the undying love of God displayed through those who are committed to this testimony.  This is a theological address primarily for Christians—Christians and the seed of Abraham, the Jews . . . it is a call to revolutionary eschatology whose time will arrive because the irrepressible perseverance of the Almighty to face off with that Great City. . . but first He must call forth His witnesses in this universal courtroom drama . . . TWO WOMEN – TWO WITNESSES – this is a must read!

“America, the Babylon” 
Part XV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (12/06)

Mystery Babylon of the Apocalypse is America the Beautiful—that’s what Richard Coombes in his book, America, the Babylon asserts. This bald-faced endeavor to expose the real Babylon of the last days has absolutely nothing to do with Charles H. Dyer’s Saddam’s Babylon, nor of Mark Hitchcock’s Euro-centric Antichrist. Neither Dyer nor Hitchcock affirms any credibility to the prospect of America as the real Mystery Babylon of the last days—but Coombes nails this “Mother of the Harlots!” It’s time the Prophetic Prophets faced up to the fact that the American Experiment was founded—not by a bunch of Puritans and Pilgrims but by sophisticated pagans—pagans who incorporated scores of ancient Babylonian symbols and architecture into America’s fabric and throughout her nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

Calling forth the Remnant By Way Of The Cross
By Stella Paterson 
Part XVI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ Intro's by Dene McGriff and Doug Krieger (12/06)

"Calling Forth the Remnant" by Stella Paterson is a must read for us smart, wealthy Laodicean, modern type Christians!  Stella calls us back to our roots to discover the mess we have gotten into.  If you were to ask any Biblically literate person, what is the main characteristic of the "last days" church, the academic answer is easy: "apostasy".  But when we consider the fact that we may be describing ourselves, we may reconsider.  Woops?  That just couldn't be.

Read this book and you will see how far we have fallen (and apostasy means 'falling away').  I quote Stella, "No minister makes the decision to be a false teacher.  But he is a false teacher if he relies on his own flesh and traditions handed down by others rather than seek the face of God."  This book helps us examine our false conceptions, traditions, the role of the clergy, our "sanctuaries", and programs.  God is calling forth a remnant and as Stella points out, a period of complacency and carelessness is historically followed by persecution.  The tribulation of the saints will sift out that remnant which will stand as a glorious testimony in spite of (and because of) the persecution.  Our choices will be limited: to be a part of the problem or the solution, the persecutors or the persecuted. 

Only the Holy Spirit can give us the spirit of revelation so our prayer is that God will use this book to open your spiritual eyes.

The Abomination of Desolation
 A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse) 
Part XVII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ by Doug Krieger (1/07)

The Prophetic Sequence takes an ignoble turn – the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION . . . the apex of the Desolator! Not only the when and where of this most horrific dislocation is disclosed, but its implications upon Antichrist who is confirmed now to be the Beast – and the appearance of his counterpart, the Second Beast, False Prophet. This is a theological discourse that commences with the antithesis of the “mystery of iniquity” – the “mystery of godliness.” The tome transverses the murky waters of Christianity in discovering sundry views of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image and Mark of the Beast – primarily among the Seventh-Day Adventists, Historicists, and British Israelism, as well as “traditional pre-millenarian – pretribulationists.” 

The Abomination of Desolation
A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast, and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse)
Part XVIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (01/07)

We’re on a journey through Christendom, visiting impressions made by well-meaning brethren regarding the Abomination of Desolation. Tony Warren’s Replacement Theology version; Harold Camping’s Amillenarian Abomination of Desolation standing in every church, every temple; David A. Reed’s lambastes against the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh-Day Adventists; the Anglo-Israelism of Wayne Blank, along with Herbert W. Armstrong’s conjectures; Pastor Daniel of Thunder Ministries and his not so subtle Abomination of Desolation: YOU!; Catholic Impressions of the Abomination; Tommy Spurgeon’s Islamic Abomination of Desolation; and, finally, Barbara Aho’s convolutions regarding the Abomination of Desolation. Yes, this is quite a trip—welcome aboard—this should be interesting.

A Study of the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet-Second Beast,
and the Image of the Beast (A Theological Discourse)
Part XIX – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (01/07)

Contrasting the Desolater's Will with the Divine Will, the Image of the Beast with the Image of Christ, the Desecration of the Sanctuary with the Infilling of the Spirit of Christ, the Son of Perdition with the Son of Man—is the only way we can grasp the final desolation:  The Abomination of Desolation and its empowerment through the “ministry” of the Second Beast who shall create the antithesis of the Image of Christ:  The Image of the Beast.  The Mark of the Beast will possess all those given over to the Worship of the Beast—but, Alas!  They themselves shall find ultimate worship of the Image of the Beast their most cherished delight . . . this is the climax of evil—the ultimate manifestation of the incarnation of Satan into humanity, without restraint, without law—wholly given over to sin and unrighteousness.

The Manifest Destiny of Puritans and Pilgrims 
Part XX – The Prophetic Sequence
By Dr. Gavin Finley, MD ~ By Doug Krieger (02/07)

Rare it is, but from time to time, a synthesis of American history jolts the scene, causing us all to rethink what happened at our commencement of Pilgrims and Puritans and how that impacts on our current involvement in Church-State affairs. Well, that jolt takes place as you read, not only excerpts from Dr. Gavin Finley’s two chapters included in this section of the Prophetic Sequence, but his entire 17-part series on what Pilgrims and Puritans were and are really all about. How this plays out in the crucible of the 70th Week of Daniel is altogether poignant. Dr. Finley’s prescient insights are truly profound and unmistakably different from the aspects of history as taught in our public schools, and, for that matter, our post-secondary institutions as well. We heartily recommend this read. 

The King of Tyre....
Part XXI – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger  (02/07)

The Prophetic Sequence has taken us into the final half of Daniel’s 70th Week – the Abomination of Desolation and the Reign of the Beast is in full swing; hence, the Mark of the Beast and its commercial enterprise holds sway—for without the Mark one cannot buy nor sell. This segment rehearses the economic oppression wrought by the Second Beast and the imposition of the Mark; specifically, America’s ascendancy intends to sustain its hegemony – make no mistake about it. 

Can these bones live?
Part XXII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (03/07)

Israel’s materiality is perhaps the most potent expression of Biblical prophetic literalism on earth . . . and that’s what infuriates people like Hang Hanegraaff and other Replacement Theologians who view her as a fluke of history and/or an apostate sliver of land on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean; and, worse yet, the greatest distraction of American evangelical Christianity, let alone that which leads to a racist American foreign policy that generates endless confrontation with the Moslem World.  Can These Bones Live?  Israel’s apocalyptic future demonstrates the Almighty’s persistence and tangibility of purpose on this earth—this is a mandatory read.

The last days of Rick Warren, Tim LaHaye, and Hank Hannegraaffe...
Part XXIII – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (04/07)

Rick Warren, Tim LaHaye and Hank Hanegraaff, aside from being wealthy American evangelicals, don’t really have all that much in common—especially, when it comes to Bible prophecy.  Food fights disinterest most—if not all evangelical Christians, slugging it out as they do, in the eschatological trenches, firing off salvos of prophetical tirades across this fruited plain. A couple of direct hits have recently been made by Hank Hanegraaff on what’s left of Tim LaHaye’s prophetic behind after Hank sent The Apocalypse Code slamming into fortress LaHaye’s Pre-Trib bunker.  No matter, Rick Warren, after returning from his CFR mission to Syria—knowing that Bible prophecy is at best a “distraction of the devil” and at worst, those involved will “have to die” in order for his “Purpose-Driven Church” to evangelize the earth, thereby bringing Jesus’ return—comforts us all to know that Syrian Preside Bashir Assad really is a nice man, treating Christians, in particular, with kindness and respect.  Discerning the “times and the seasons” has become an art form when it comes to these guys—it’d be humor to laugh your head off when you discover what these noble souls affirm, once you discover their intricate Weltanschauungs; but it’s not, for this food fight should alarm us all—in the Prophetic Sequence! 
 

Timing is Everything...
Part XXIV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (05/07)

Clarence Larkin—THE GREATEST BOOK ON DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH—and I bet you never knew that!  Well, I bet you never heard of Lucas Cranach the Elder either.  Both these engineers/artists were extremely influential in relaying Biblical truths, especially about the book of Revelation, in their times.  Cranach with Luther and his woodcuts which revolutionized the German language—making Germans-speaking people desirous to read what they were seeing in these highly suggestive woodcuts of Cranach on the Revelation, and the elaborate engineer-style drawings of Larkin who popularized the Dispensational teachings of his era, along with C. I. Scofield who popularized the dispensationalists’ teaching using his elaborate notes on the Scripture right in the Bible itself.  Well, although our charts on Bible prophecy are a little rough—we, nevertheless, wrap up our 24-part series with this ambition:  To enlighten a generation on the present prophetic tsunami ready to descend upon the world!
 

 

The Prophetic Sequence in Graphic Form
Part XXV – The Prophetic Sequence ~ By Doug Krieger (03/08)

This concludes the Prophetic Sequence and was a PowerPoint Presentation given to an outdoor audience at a private home in Northern California.  The graphics are sequenced for greater clarity and understanding of our understanding of the divine time table as presented throughout the Scriptures.

A Revelation of Jesus Christ - Introduction ~ By Doug Krieger (06/07)

After scores of books written on this subject of the Revelation—by well-meaning futurists, historical interpreters and those who would dismiss the text as purely symbolic—this writer has concluded that the Church’s theology on the conclusion of Scripture’s canon, awaits a more relevant commentary that refuses to compromise the great Premillenarian insights of the 1800-1900s, while facing the immediate with the living Word of God that will yet speak into our generation.
 
The Church and Israel, are woven into the “Climax of the Ages” – the Antichrist-Beast, False Prophet, Image of the Beast and their worship shall be confronted by the “saints of the Most High” with overcoming faith: “By the Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their Testimony” – because they refuse to love themselves unto the death! The Seven Seals, Trumpets, Bowls and Thunders shall yet descend upon the “the face of the whole earth” – but our assessment of their judgments and curses must undergo an agonizing reappraisal by the believing Church, and prophetic Israel.
 
Our understanding and practical engagement in these major prophetical themes will no longer tolerate a “Laodicean indifference,” nor a Eurocentric, theological bias. Blatant at worst, and benign at best, disregard for the “signs of the times,” and an “eschatological aloofness” which bespeaks more of blind national patriotism and “scriptural isolationism,” rather than humble interaction with the “pure Word of God” in the “midst of a crooked and perverse generation,” confirms Babylon’s
