Bad Eschatology - A New Guide by John Little From "Revelation Six"

 

Revelation Six - When The Four Horsemen Ride Bad Eschatology - A New Guide JOHN LITTLE NOV 11   READ IN APP   Since the very beginning of the church, our faith has been under assault by those who twisted the words of God to fit what they wanted. Instead of letting God tell us what the truth was, we chose to redefine what God meant when He spoke to us through the Prophets and the Apostles. Vast heresies have arisen that murdered millions of our brothers and sisters, and many of those heresies have some of their roots in a corrupt understanding of the Last Days (eschatology). The Roman Catholic Church would not be what it is today without the Amillennialism of Augustine. Nor would the Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, etc. So, the most important reason to talk about Bad Eschatology, is to bring ourselves back to a proper obedience to the words of God. But, it's not the only reason. ———————————— Download Bad Eschatology As a PDF file: https://revelationsix.com/files/bad-eschatology.pdf As a single HTML file: https://revelationsix.com/files/bad-eschatology.html ———————————— Keep this ministry alive with a donation.

I didn’t care if you thought that the Millennium was this way, or that. I didn’t care if Donald Trump, Barack Obama, or Alfred E. Newman were the Antichrist. I didn’t care if some magnificent commentator said such and so about the Great Tribulation. As maddening as any of that is, I literally didn’t care about any of that, because I knew something that none of them understood: God was going to redeem the Children of Jacob. And, I knew that it would happen long before the Antichrist or the Great Tribulation. That left me with the ability to focus all of my attention on Israel, a tiny land the size of Taiwan. I fell in love with the people. I learned Hebrew. I lived in Jerusalem, at the center of geopolitics. What an amazing experience. Unfortunately, I’m a little single-minded. When a little is good, a LOT is better. This habit of spending my life going full-throttle in one direction, meant that God has had to throw up a road-block to get my attention. I’m really that clueless at times – just ask Mrs. Little. God showed me that there are more things to talk about than the Redemption of Israel, so God blew a whistle and threw me out of the pool. I had something important to do, like doing evangelism in Taipei and looking at some of the events that were bringing us towards rendesvous with a dark and even terrifying future. I have formal training and experience in Geopolitics, Economics and Finance, and it was clear to me that our civilization was looking down the barrel of a gun. In fact, I could see the Ride of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in all of that. And, when I started talking about it, I ran straight into the brick wall of everyone's view of eschatology. Then, as I began to understand the cataclysmic events surrounding the Redemption of Israel, that brick wall became impossible to get around. It even led me to wonder if I was the one getting it all wrong, and that's how this book got written: When Gog Comes https://whengogcomes.com That was my attempt to prove my own theories wrong. I didn't want to believe that this great disaster would turn every city around the world into rubble, destroy the power grid and kill billions. Unfortunately, I got more confirmation than I wanted, which made that book into the most painful document that I have ever written. Prove me wrong, and you will receive my undying gratitude. And yes, the coming of Gog and Magog is the focal point of Israel's Redemption. When Gog and Magog are finally destroyed in Ezekiel 39, God says this: So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.  - Ezekiel 39:22 (NKJV) And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”  - Ezekiel 39:29 (NKJV) So, when Gog and Magog come, God will use that moment to turn Israel away from her sins and bring her to faith in Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, there will be a terrible cost: “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.  - Ezekiel 39:6 (NKJV) When I went to look into what that 'fire' meant, I saw the cataclysm and catastrophe that would be worldwide. And what I found inspired me to write about it: Ezekiel's Fire https://ezekielsfire.com The irony is that I wrote the first edition of that book long before I wrote When Gog Comes. As my understanding of that event grew, I kept adding to it. And, it is now in its sixth edition. Again, I kept hitting this brick wall of everyone's eschatology. Everyone had their reasons for why this would never happen, that it wouldn't happen until after we were all gone, or that it was just symbolic anyway. I was dumbfounded. How could everyone ignore what Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, Zephaniah and Zechariah said? I even found serious scientific data backing up everything that I said. But, none of that mattered, and I didn't know why. So, I went looking. By the way, one of the reasons why I was so confused was due to being raised as a feral Christian.
