the TIME of this prophecy is just shortly before the Work of the Philadelphia
Church
is finished. After that shall come the Great Tribulation, and the Day of the
Lord,
when there shall be supernatural disturbances striking the world with
astonishing AWE
in the sky.
The Laodicean era of the Church shall rise OUT OF, through and in the
latter
part of the Great Tribulation. They shall be IN it, and turn to God out of and
during
it (Revelation 7:9-15). They come out of the Great Tribulation and are converted
as a result of it, which will open their eyes to the fact that what the
Philadelphian
Church proclaims was true, although now, while we proclaim it, they are not
heeding.
So Revelation 10 shows that when our Work appeared to be close to finished
and there should be no more delay in God's intervention, God did hold up world
events,
and I was commissioned to NOW go with the Kingdom Message to many KINGS, or
national leaders, of many nations, speaking different languages. That is what,
as
I now look back in retrospect, I have been doing since 1970 and especially since
1972.
So perhaps our Work would have been completed by 1972, except for this special
commission.
Now where are we in the time sequence of prophecies? More and more it
becomes
apparent that we are right at, or even very shortly past, the event of
Revelation 12:7.
This is an event in the end time, after the Middle Ages, pictured in verse 6.
Verse
7 reveals a fierce battle in heaven. Once again 5atan and his demons have
swooped
up to attack God on His throne--one last satanic try. Michael the archangel--
same
rank as former Lucifer, now Satan--is pictured with his angels fighting against
Satan
and his demons. As Lucifer and his angels tried to invade God's throne in heaven
before
the creation of man, so Satan has made this one last try to conquer GOD.
But Satan again was to lose this battle, and he and his demons were cast
back
to earth (verse 9). This was to occur just prior to the coming of Christ, the
resurrection
of saints to salvation and establishing the Kingdom of God on earth (verse 10).
But
those of God's Church are at this time to overcome Satan by the blood of Christ
and
the Word of God (verse 11); but because Satan knows he now has but a short time
to defeat God on earth through God's Church, even after he failed in the
heavenly
war with Michael (verse 12), he was immediately to persecute THIS CHURCH (verse
