The Twelfth Chapter of Revelation Armageddon

The Twelfth Chapter of Revelation - (Just a small section)

Everything in the new dispensation developes in personal objects, so also with regard to the Revenger. According to Rev. 9th chapter it will be the Mohammedans that now will carry out that terrible act. Up to the present they have been divided in their religious views and, besides, they have had no implements of war to compete with the nations. But the world war has wroth a won- derful change among them. The following excerpt from an histor ian throws some light on the present situation among them.

"For centuries there has been bitter factions and strife be tween the two major groups of Moslems, the Sunnites and the Shiahs. The former consider themselves the "Ortodox" branch and to their creed the Turks all subscribe. They have been ac customed to despise and persecute the Shiah Moslems, who have their strong following in Persia and India. Practically all Persians are adherents of the Shiah sect, who accept Ali, the son-in-law of Mohammed, as the true Caliph, and who commemorate the martyr dom of Hussein, the grandson of the prophet, as their most moving religious anniversary. There are various lesser points of disagree ment between the two sects, but the schism is primarily upon the historical point indicated.

Ominously, the friction between Shiahs and Sunnites seems for the moment in abeyance. The people of Persia are newly stirred as Moslems rather than as Shiahs. They show a sinister sympathy with the Turks, due in part to the hostility to the course of other nations in Persia. One of the sensitive spots of the world's organism at the moment is this decrepit old land of Persia on whose soil and about whose borders the world war rages.

Ancient Persia may be the land of Mysticism and subtle spe culation, but the present religious unrest is not taking exactly that form. Instead, every Moslem is getting a gun and making ready for the day when he can show his ortodoxy toward the Christians, and the Armenians in particular."

The historian concludes his article with the following worth: "The popular form of argument (among the Mohammedans) is a knife or a gun. I am obliged to give credence to the gravity of the situation."

As a consequence of the world war the part of Russia called Ucrania, has become friendly to Germany. In that part of the country are a great amount of Mohammedans and they will now have access to get all the war implements they desire. And by the time the prophecy is to be fulfilled they stand ready to carry out the part they are assigned to do. The prophecy says that they shall kill them that has not the seal of God on their forehead and that one third part of men, where they carry on the act of revenge, will be killed.

That terrible act, as said, belongs to the last Passover and comes as a consequence of the slaughter the nations have done among the people of the new covenant. They, by slaying the wit nesses of Jesus and a great many of the same faith, believe that they serve God and drive satan and his agents out from the earth. But they soon will find out, like the Egyptians did, that they thereby prepare for themselves a most terrible vengeance.

Christ as the Lord of the prophecy gives the following admonition :

"Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the say ings of the prophecy of this book."

The Book of the Revelation which God gave His Son "to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass" (be carried out in a comparatively short time), contains the description of the Joshuah movement belonging to the New Covenant. Some of our theologians at our time consider the book of the Revelation as an apocryphal or spurious book, which has no harmony with the rest of the Bible. The main reason for such conclusion is that they can not understand it. And why is it so obscure to them? Because their theological mind is controlled by the doctrine of Mithras, and in that theory a prophet or leader like Moses or Joshua has no place. The way to the kingdom according to that is by the way of the air.
