From ICHTHYS.COM, Coming Tribulation series part 3a The Great Apostasy And [the dragon's] (i.e., the devil's) tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven (i.e., both fallen angels and fallen believers) and threw them to the earth (i.e., their rebellion or apostasy and consequent association with them in their fall). Revelation 12:4a And [the little horn] (i.e., antichrist as a type and representative of the devil) magnified himself against the host of heaven (i.e., the family of God, men and angels both), and he cast down to the earth some of the host (i.e., antichrist seducing believers into apostasy) and some of the stars (i.e., Satan having seduced angels into rebellion) and he trampled them underfoot (i.e., their rebellion or apostasy in association with evil leading to their subsequent destruction; cf. Dan.7:7; 7:19; Rev.11:2). Daniel 8:10

ICHTHYS.COM Coming Tribulation Series Part 3a 17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth. 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come. Revelation 17:1-8

ICHTHYS.COM Coming tribulation series part 3b (3) And it will come to pass on the day (i.e., during the Millennium) when the Lord gives you rest from your pain, and from your turmoil, and from the hard labor which was levied upon you, (4) that you will take up this taunt concerning the king of Babylon (i.e., antichrist), and you will say, "How the oppressor (i.e., antichrist) has come to an end! How the golden [city] (i.e., Babylon) has ceased to be! (5) The Lord has shattered the staff of evil-doers, the rod of those who ruled [over us], (6) which smote the peoples in her arrogance with unrelenting scourging, which ruled the nations in her anger with unrelenting persecution. (7) The whole world is now at rest, at peace. They break forth in song. (8) Even the fir trees rejoice over you, the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since you have been laid low, no one comes up to cut us down'. (9) Sheol below is astir because of you, at the prospect of your arrival. It rouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the [former] princes of the earth. It makes all the [former] kings of the earth rise from their thrones. (10) All of them will answer and say to you, 'Even you too have [now] become weak like us'. (11) All your pride has been brought down to Sheol, [all that] noise of your harps. Below you maggots are spread out like a bed, and worms are your bedcovers. (12) How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, O son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, O you who laid the nations low. (13) For you said in your heart, 'I will ascend heavenward. I will set my throne above the stars of God. And I will take my seat on the mount of assembly on the sides of the north. (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High God'. (15) But indeed you will be brought down to Sheol, to the sides of the pit. (16) Those who look at you will contemplate you; they will consider you: 'Is this the man who confounded the earth, who shook [the foundations of] the nations? (17) He made the world like a desert, and trampled its cities underfoot. He did not let its prisoners go home.' (18) All the kings of the earth, all of them, lie in dignity, each in his own tomb. (19) But you have been cast out of your grave like an abominable branch (i.e., in contrast to the Branch), clothed with your slain [victims], those pierced by the sword, those who go down to the stones of the pit, like a corpse trampled underfoot. (20) You will not share with them in your burial. For you have destroyed your [own] land. You have killed your [own] people. The seed of evil doers will not be called to remembrance again forevermore." Isaiah 14:3-20 Isaiah 14:3-20

1. The AC signs a 7 year treaty with Israel that he will break at its midpoint when he “takes his throne” in the Temple. 2. There IS a temple that is fully constructed and active, although likely with rituals and rites pointing to the already occurred Sacrifice of Christ vs looking back otherwise they’re blasphemous(Hebrews 6:6) 3. The Great Apostasy. The sheer audacity and bewilderment of ACs followers made up of wayward and fake believers will be very hard to miss. He will be so enigmatic and charismatic that they will be “head over heels” for him and his seemingly righteous(yet purely evil) actions and we who know the True God will be able to see the trend. These three factors in combination with the 2 campaigns against “the South” and the trumpet judgements worldwide will be hard to disprove that the Tribulation is already underway.

*I realized after filming that I was indeed shivering, just FYI* Anger is a motivating force for the believer. We are never commanded to NOT get angered but we ARE commanded to NOT sin IF we are angered. All throughout the OT we see The Father acting in righteous indignation towards sin and evil, and in the NT we again see our Lord doing so also. Many times the "heroes" of the Bible were motivated to action in anger and it is clear that The Lord was behind them(NOT their sin, however..) We, though certainly not God ourselves are allowed room to be angry, but we must ever be controlled by walking in The Spirit(Galatians 5:16) so that we won't sin, but we have 1st John 8-10 to remind us He forgives us when we confess and lets us try again.

Another unfortunate sign of Laodicea is the high amount of women "pastor and teachers." This is unbiblical, unprescribed and against the very simple position our God has on the matter.

From ICHTHYS.COM Coming Tribulation Series Part 4: (11) And I saw another beast (i.e., the false prophet: cf. Rev.16:13; 19:20; 20:10) rising up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. (12) And he [will] act with all the authority of the first beast [while] in his presence, and he [will] make the world and all its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. (13) And [the beast's false prophet] [will] perform great miracles (lit., "signs"), even making fire come down from heaven to the earth in front of everyone. (14) And he [will] deceive those who dwell upon the earth on account of the miracles (lit., "signs") which have been given to him to perform in the presence of the beast, even commanding the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the beast, [that is] of him who received the [deadly] stroke of the sword and [yet] came [back] to life. (15) And it was given to him to provide a spirit for the image of the beast so that the image might speak, and [it was also given to him] to bring it about that as many as refused to worship the image of the beast might be put to death. Revelation 13:11-15 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 1st Timothy 4:1-5

DR. Robert Luginbill has been the author of ichthys.com since 1997. I've personally been studying his materials for over 8 years and cannot find any significant fault or unorthodox in any of his teachings, NOT that he's perfect by any means, however a little reading of his work certainly shows The Spirit uses this man and his site is well worth any serious believers time if one wishes to grow in The Lord dramatically.

Deuteronomy 18:14-22 describes the duties of a true prophet Of God; it also describes the penalty for false prophesy and the test to see whether he is from The Lord or the devil. We are later on(1 Thessalonians 5:20-21) instructed to not despise prophesy, but now that we have the completed Bible which covers all history up to and until the Millennium, it's fair to ask if it is active today.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2. The false will always hate the true as it shines the light in their deeds. False teachers are like wolves among sheep with the sole goal of watering down then eventually taking believers away from The Truth into the lie to serve their greedy, controlling ends.

Ichthys.com Dr. Robert Luginbill has ran this site over 20 years. His in-depth exegesis’ are world class; please do look into the site. Antichrist is the king of human liars outmatched only by his “father,” satan. Daniel 8:23-25 are the most condensed verses in scripture about AC, but there are MANY more(Daniel 7:8, 11:21,39; 2Thess 2:9-10a, Rev 13:3-4, Matt 24:24, etc…)

Antichrist is the human king of lies and will use his deceptions to gain illegal yet sanctioned control over Babylon(USA) before hopping the pond to revived Rome for his battles with the King of The South. Daniel 11:21-45 along with Daniel 8:23-25 and Rev 13:2-9.

1st Corinthians 3:2 “I gave you milk, not solid food for you were not ready for it. Indeed you are still not ready.” To look around and honestly asses the state of the church at large, one must acknowledge the degenerated nature of our current state. We have collectively thrown away all the advancement of our brothers in Philadelphia for the pathetic, lukewarm mess we live in today. “Church” as it’s understood today is more an emotional experience with little to no actual “solid food” like Paul stated to the Corinthians and it’s only accelerating forward into the Tribulation at this point. We are the 1st generation “spit out of His Mouth” and for a very good(yet extremely sad) reason: we have more going for us than EVER to learn and grow in the Word yet instead we wallow in self indulgence and revelry.

If in fact we are replacing the demons, then abortion is a direct attack on God’s command to Adam and Eve to “be fruitful and multiply..” The full “Nephesh(person)” is formed upon taking their first breath, but God sees them as a life regardless of being a completed person yet or not. Israel paid dearly for each child sacrifice and/or murder and continues to punish all of man for the same behaviors even now.

We are constantly commanded through the Old and New Testaments to “seek His Face” in fellowship(Deuteronomy 10:12-17, 2nd Chronicles 7:14, Joel 2:13, Psalms 38:18 and 51:13, Proverbs 28:13, Isaiah 55:6-7, and on and on…) by “rending(circumcising) our hearts” (being truly humble) to The Lord God and He WILL forgive us. The Lord “washed our feet” as a sign that we need to come to Him constantly after faith for continual cleansing as we WILL sin and need said cleansing to maintain fellowship with Him and The Father.

*OPINION ONLY* IF I’m correct, it’s a gift and I’m just speaking my mind on the matter. Men “going their own way” is another farcical version of holy living for modern unbeliever men. Just as communism is an attempt to co-opt the commune type living arrangement in the book of Acts only applied to unbelievers for means of control, the MGTOW movement is proffered up as a worldly answer to feminism, single motherhood and leftist policies relating to men at large and their rejection of them. Biblically speaking, we as believers are ever commanded to stay separate from these things and wait on The Lord’s answer. The ultimate Man going His own way is our Lord Jesus Chris, at least as far as the world is concerned. And if MGTOW represents that small fraction moving away from the world’s control, then Christianity is its ultimate form only without the overt sin involved in the movement as it stands today.

The 144,000 are a literal group of young, virgin men that are sent out in the Tribulations first half (paralleled to the 72 of Luke 10, 72,000 pairs in this case) only their ministry will be worldwide and likely commissioned and taught by the Two Witnesses(Moses and Elijah) of Revelation much like the 72 were commissioned and taught by The Lord. ICHTHYS.com Coming Tribulation Series has MUCH more to say about this.

These two competing “doctrines(of man, sadly,)” have been abused and reworked from their original form to a point of near denying what The Bible ACTUALLY says about free will, God’s foreknowledge of His Plan, and our requirement to choose for His Son to be saved. We ARE commanded to chose, but the Bible is clear that He DOES know the begging to end. All sin is paid for, but we much accept The Spirit’s ministry and witness about Christ to be saved and each is held to account accordingly. Christ DID die for all mankind, but some(most) will reject Him thus having their names “blotted out” of The Book of Life. We are not “too depraved” to be able to choose, but we are “blind” to the ultimate outcomes of life that God already knows. Salvation is sure so long as we “abide in Him” by choice, not by force.

HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC. I personally believe, based on study I can't seem to refute, that the Bible teaches that there is a literal 7000 year period where God will use man to judge, replace and condemn satan and his followers, man and angel alike. The chronology of the Bible leads us to our current point in time to the almost 6000 year mark and Revelation is clear that The Lord WILL REIGN for a 1000 year period(The Millennium of Revelation) before ending this earth, judging satan and friends then creating everything new again(Isaiah 65:17, 66:22, Revelation 21:1) only to a massively greater degree, meaning we are on the cusp of The Day Of The Lord and His imminent return. No wonder the world seems to be ripping itself apart..
