Walk With Me
Prophecies and the Path to Armageddon
How will religious authority empower a sinister one-world government? In this eye-opening episode, we confront the staggering prophecies surrounding the rise of the Antichrist and the role of the false prophet. Through an in-depth examination of the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel, we unravel the complex narrative of ten systems of control, or "kings," that will dominate without traditional kingdoms, leading humanity to the fateful Battle of Armageddon. Tune in as we tackle the interplay between religious and secular powers, offering a nuanced understanding of these prophetic events and their real-world implications.
We also navigate through the final tumultuous stages of the Tribulation, culminating in the dramatic Battle of Armageddon and subsequent divine intervention. Discover the ultimate judgment of the beast and the false prophet, and their grim destiny in the lake of fire. The discussion then shifts to a vision of hope with the thousand-year millennial reign led by Jesus, beginning with His return to the Mount of Olives. We reflect on the consequences for those who sided with the Antichrist, highlighting the stark reality of survival and the absence of repentance after Armageddon. This episode promises an enlightening exploration of biblical prophecy and its impact on our understanding of future events.
Hello everybody and welcome to today's episode of Walk With Me. I am your host, jj. Yes, we are back. Yes, I knew it's been about a month. Basically, it's all JJ's fault Poor planning, poor execution and, having never moved the studio before, I didn't realize you couldn't just plug it back in.
Speaker 1:It was all going to work right. But this is all just me, so it's completely on my shoulders. No, you haven't missed any notifications and no, there wasn't any mysterious unsubscriptions. It was all me, all me doing this and not doing it correctly. But we are back now. We have internet at a new location.
Speaker 1:Thank you, thank god for this. Thank god for you guys for clicking on and liking this video. Uh, it's also come to my attention. Some sound problems have been in some other videos, so I will be reposting those gradually over the next couple weeks. But thank you all so much. I've been getting your emails and beginning your questions and we will be going to those questions. I've been, you know, emailing some of the answers because I knew it would take a little while once I figured out how badly I'd messed up my equipment, to get back online. So thank you all so much.
Speaker 1:Thank you all so much for being patient, being with us, joining us again today. Thank you all so much. Thank you all so much for being patient, being with us, joining us again today. Thank you all so much. And we're going to oh and real quick, quick shout out to my sponsors True Bars of Literacy and Exquisite Creations, true Bars for the bump music and for keeping us going with the tech support and the new equipment and Ex and uh, because the creations with the swag and she always gives me a little bit motivation here with the things would seem a little frustrating, but uh, hey, listen, everybody needs support, right? So I do thank her for that. Thank God, for each and every one of you. Thank God for being able to get back on this journey that you and I we've started, and it's been now two years that we've had some bumps in the road and hopefully these bumps are going to be taken care of.
Speaker 1:Let's move it out now, get a little bit of a different sound quality and things of that nature. Thank you all so much. Now we are on YouTube, so there may be some the sound may be a little bit different as it comes through all of your other apps. Apparently, there's something that goes on in the background, but you know that's neither here nor there. Thank you all so much. You guys can be choosing to listen to any other podcast, but you're choosing to listen to this one. I really do appreciate it. Thank you all so so much, and we will be trying to get two episodes this week. So it's going to be a little tough, but we are going to make it work because I owe you guys I feel like I feel like I owe you guys that for kind of messing up the move.
Speaker 1:So we're going to go ahead and jump right into where we left off. You were talking about the one world government and how anti-Christian that one world government was going to be. You were talking about the false prophet, you know, and that's going to be the religious government, and how the religious government is going to bring out the Antichrist, and the Antichrist is going to turn on the religious government, because the Antichrist is going to be your political government, your secular government, your nation leaders, your prime ministers, your presidents, your kings, your queens, however that's going to be, that will be your secular government. However that's going to be, that would be a secular government, and that secular government is going to turn on the very religious government that brought it to power. Now, remember, we covered it a little bit that Revelation. Everybody wants to talk about Revelation and Revelation is very important. Every book of the Bible is important, but when we're talking about end times, especially end times, the book of Daniel is also a sister book to the book of Revelation. So we can read Revelation, but there's also going to be something going on in the background, and in the book of Daniel it's going to kind of explain what's going on in the background, because Daniel is going to write all this down. So we were talking about how the world religion is going to be dominated by the secular world and the secular government, and this is going to be dominated by the secular world and the secular government, and this is going to be in Revelation 17. Now this is all in order to come up to a great change, a great point of what's going to happen, a great fulcrum, if you will, as far as where we are going with Revelation, and we all know what that is. This is the Battle of Armageddon.
Speaker 1:Now, in Revelation 17 and 12, or actually 17, it talks about, you know how the ten horns were, ten kings. We're talking about different systems of control which have no kingdom as of yet, but receive power as kings, one hour with the beast. In other words, these systems of control, or these ten kings, don't have a country, don't have a kingdom, but they're going to receive time, a system or receive power, and they're going to be able to control the world because of the power they are given by the beast. So, just to recap, the religious authority is going to bring forth the Antichrist. The Antichrist is going to set up these ten kings for and, like I say, it seems to me that these ten kings are actually going to be ten systems of control. Now some people say these are actually going to be ten countries, but Revelation 17 says they have received no kingdom as of yet, but received power as king. This is where a lot of preachers don't really get into this part of the revelation, because everybody seems to think it's something different. Now it just seems to me that it seems to be that this is going to be a system of control rather than an actual country. But we'll see how it works out, but I don't want to be here to see that. I want to be on the other side of the floor and looking down saying, oh yeah, that's how it worked out. Thank you for revealing that to me, doc.
Speaker 1:Now this Battle of Armageddon is going to be in a place called the Valley of Jezreel. Now that's going to be located west of the Jordan River, east of the Mediterranean Sea. Now that battle is where Armageddon is going to be fought. Now, what that's taken from the word Armageddon is taken from the city. Now, what that's taken from the word Armageddon is taken from the city. There's a city of a military city called Megiddo, which is the fortified chariot city of Solomon. So you can go back, you can see where Solomon actually fortified the city and Armageddon is said to be the be the battleground of the greatest bloodbath the world has ever seen.
Speaker 1:I read somewhere where it said the blood would be bridled high to a horse. Now, if you've ever had a horse and my family has had horses and I've ridden horses now you have short horses and you have tall horses and if you want a real horse, want a horse is about what they call 12 hands tall, which generally that means about seven foot high at the head. So remember now, bridle high to a horse. It's not that much shorter. So you're looking at six foot deep of blood. That is in a pool, and that's how. That's how much blood is filled at that battle of Armageddon we're talking about.
Speaker 1:I don't want to get ahead of myself. We're talking about millions of people dying in that one Valley. However, before that happens, there will be the 144,000 seal. Now what will that 144,000 be? It will not be Christians y'all, and I need you to understand that. And the reason why we're talking about that is because we talked about it in a couple other. We talked about in a couple other episodes where some people believe that Christians are going to somehow participate in live bodies or are going to take the side of God in this battle of Armageddon. Christians will not be here. Christians will not be alive one day and then fighting in the battle of Armageddon the next.
Speaker 1:Okay, let me make that a little clearer. In order for a Christian to be on the side of God in the Battle of Armageddon, they will already have been raptured and spent the time in the heavenly glory. It won't be churches on the face of the earth arming themselves and fighting for God. That's not how that's going to work. This is what the Bible says. We're going to have 144,000 sealed and God will deliver this remnant, which will be hidden from this destructive power of the Antichrist.
Speaker 1:But now we're going to talk about how they're going to prepare for the end Armageddon. These Jews are going to be a thorn in the flesh of this world leader, of this Antichrist, of this world leader of this Antichrist, of this anti-Christian beast man, as it were. Now he'll be able to break the will of a lot of all the other nations, but not the Jewish nation. Why? Because that's just the way it is. A lot of Jews know that they are chosen as God's people and will not follow anyone claiming to be Jesus, because the Antichrist will claim to be Jesus, so they won't follow anyone claiming to be Jesus. So his determination, the Antichrist will, you know, determine, will make sure and will set up his personal mission to destroy all the Jews. And at this time is when the Lord is going to interfere with the heavenly army.
Speaker 1:And this is where I want to get to Revelations 19, 19. Oh, one other thing, and I know it's been a while since we've been on, but we have a rule here at the podcast, you know, and it's a rule that you should always follow when someone's talking to you about Bible, always read a verse or two above, a verse or two below, but preferably the whole chapter. Why? Because context is key. So, that being said, we're going to go into Revelation 19.19. And it says and I saw the beasts and the kings of the earth this is where we're talking about the beginning of the heavenly army and I saw the beasts and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse and against his army.
Speaker 1:And Revelation 16, 13 to 14, says To the battle of the earth and to the whole world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God Almighty. So this entire battle is not really going to be set up by the Antichrist. If you read that very carefully, it is going to be set up by the devil. That's using the Antichrist, and setting all this up will be the devil, and his whole opportunity, his whole modus operandi, his whole mission is going to be to finally wipe the dews off the face of the earth. Why? Because they're God's chosen people. They've always been God's chosen people and in his mind and in the devil's mind, and the way the world will look is that the Christian church has already been wiped out, but he knows what the Christian church is. The Christian church is already in heaven. So now, if he could just get these Jews out of the way, he could rule the world. Romans 16 and 16.
Speaker 1:He gathered them together into a place called, in the Hebrew tongue, armageddon, and this is where the end of the tribulation is. Armageddon is what closes it out. Now it's going to be the final attack On God and his people From the Antichrist, and it's going to be particularly bad Because God will have to personally come and end this wild, savage, post-apocalyptic reign that's going on right at the moment. And he's going to end the beast, he's going to end the system, he's going to end the Antichrist, he's going to end all of this stuff that's going on in that one battle. And the only way to do that is to cause, and you can say it as well as I can. It's going to be a cause of mass casualty event. But after this battle, jesus is going to set up a millennial reign on earth which is going to be a thousand years of peace, and yet still the book of Revelation is not done. The book of Revelation is not done Now.
Speaker 1:Revelation 19, 19, 11. And I saw heaven open and a behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he does judge and make war Revelation 19, 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed upon him upon a white horse, bold and linen, white and clean, and Revelation 19, 16. And he that sat on his, he sat on his vesture and on his thigh, named written King of King and Lord of Lords.
Speaker 1:Now this is where, at the end of the Battle of Armageddon, you're going to have a big judgment. Now, this is not the great white throne judgment, and this is important to understand because people sometimes confuse the two. This is not the great white throne judgment. This is only the judgment of the beast and the false prophet Revelations 19, 20. The beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that it received the mark of the beast. So basically, this is going to be a almost a world televised trial of the beast, which is the religious leader, and the false prophet, and the beast, which is the antichrist. They're going to prove that their whole system was alive by having him on trial. Then there's going to be a judgment. Let's finish reading verse 20.
Speaker 1:The beast was taken and with him the false prophet that brought miracles before him with which he deceived them that had received what? The mark of the beast. So all the people who have received the mark of the beast are going to see their leader go on trial, and them that worship this image. So the people that follow the false religion is also going to see those who are on trial. If they survive the Battle of Armageddon, which is going to be, the chance is slim to none. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone. They are going to see the result of that guilty verdict.
Speaker 1:However, now we have the thousand years of peace, millennial reign, and the first thing that's going to happen, zechariah 14 and 4, and the first thing that's going to happen, zechariah 14 and 4, and his feet shall stand that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem, on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof, toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley and half the mountain shall move towards the north and half of it towards the south, which means the land around Jerusalem will never be the same and it is going to be a monument of Jesus. Now, what does this mean? If all of those people who see, all of those people who have taken the mark of the beast, who have worshipped the Antichrist or worshipped the false prophet and so forth, worshipped the Antichrist, what is this going to mean? That means people who have been deceived are going to have that knowledge revealed to them that they were deceived. Now someone tells me well, jj, if they get that knowledge, then they can repent.
Speaker 1:But the Bible never talks about repentance after the Battle of Armageddon. The Bible never talks about repentance after the rapture. The Bible never talks about repentance after the book of Jude, because that dispensation has long gone. And so I had a brother tell me one time and we finally we were talking about it like hey, if you miss the rapture, I wonder what your chances are that you'll even see the end of the end of the tribulation.
Speaker 1:And we worked it out to see the end of the tribulation. And we worked it out, and we worked it out as of 20 years ago and it was something like 18%. What that means is that you had an 18% chance of surviving to the end of the tribulation, not to the end of the millennial reign, because that's when things got a lot of weird, because we couldn't figure out if during the millennial reign, would everything continue the way it is now, like you can marry and have children and stuff like that, and would you live normal lifespans and things of that nature, have children and stuff like that and would you live normal lifespans and things of that nature. So we kind of cut it off to the end of Armageddon, which was the end of the Tribulation, and you only had an 18% chance. Now, that was 20 years ago and at that time we had roughly about 6 billion people on the planet. You take that and you divide it by 18%.
Speaker 1:By the time we did that number, it was somewhere around just under a million, just under 100 million people. I don't know the exact number. I have to do the numbers because I'm doing this now off the top of my head. We had done that. It was like 18%. You had an 18% chance to survive and we're talking about all the plagues that would happen, the disease that was coming from the bad water, all the godly judgment and then from the deaths that will result as a reason for coming from the result from the Antichrist's bad reign.
Speaker 1:So it's not going to be a picnic. So this is one of the things where we come to you and say, hey, man, we have to get right now. We got to be ready to go now. We got to get the Holy Ghost now, because the Bible does not suggest or make room for anything after that or any sort of plan of salvation. Everything sort of seems to kind of come to an end there and we'll talk about next week what happens after that millennial reign and why it even makes sense that nothing, there is no other way out after that millennial reign, because there's going to be another time when the devil's going to get forth and deceive people again. So we're going to talk about that next week and we also are going to have a special episode later on this week We'll try to do it for Wednesday or something, god willing where I get to answer some questions.
Speaker 1:We've got a lot of other questions, oh, and I think I forgot to mention that we do still have our Walk With Me, Bible Study email for questions and if you have questions on the YouTube channel, you're able to ask those questions on the YouTube channel, and I guess it'll be easier.
