Armageddon Hoax,
History and Bible Doctrine

1. First Century End
Time is Bible Doctrine
2. Armageddon in the Immediate Future of the Apostles is History

Armageddon in Our Future is a Hoax
4. Armageddon: Looking in All the Wrong Places
1.
First Century End
Time is Bible Doctrine
The Second
Coming of Christ, the
judgment, end of
the age and last days: All would be accomplished in the generation of
the Apostles 2000 years ago, according to Jesus, Paul, Peter,
John, James, Silvanus and Timothy. You are not to know the day or
hour, but you are to know the generation. Prophecy, future to them,
past to us, is Bible doctrine. The tribulation would come at the
end of the age 2000
years ago. Armageddon was part of that tribulation.
The
Doctrine according to Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, James Silvanus and
Timothy: (All
Scripture taken from the NASB.)
Jesus said to His
twelve apostles: - ...you
shall not finish going through the cities of
Israel, until the Son
of Man comes. (Mt.10:23)
Jesus said to His
disciples: - ...there
are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death
until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. (Mt.16:27,28)
Jesus said to His
disciples: - ...this
generation will not pass away until all
these things take place. (Mt.24:34, See Lk.21:32)
Time
Statements:
- Read
many more time statements in the New Testament
showing clear doctrine of a first century end time, Armageddon
and Second Coming of Christ! He came at the end of
the
age after the tribulation in the first century.
While this doctrine of an end time in the generation
of the apostles is reinforced throughout the New Testament, an end time
in a future generation is never suggested. We do not live in the end
time. Jesus and the Apostles did. It's doctrine. Jesus was not
confused. We are.
2. Armageddon in the
Immediate Future of the Apostles is History
John got this revelation from
God about A.D.69 before the temple was destroyed. Here is the entire
revelation: Jesus coming in the clouds, the hour of testing, the words
of prophecy of the book of Revelation. All would shortly take place.
The
time was near nearly 2000 years ago. Armageddon was part of this
revelation and it would take place shortly after A.D.69, according to
God's revelation!
The
revelation of Jesus Christ communicated through
John to His
bond-servants:- The Revelation of Jesus
Christ, which God gave
Him to
show to His bond-servants,
the things which must shortly take place... (Rv.1:1)
- ...for the time is near. (Rv.1:3)
- ... He is coming with the clouds, and
every eye will
see Him, even
those
who pierced Him...(Rv.1:7)
- I am coming quickly...(Rv.3:11)
- Because you have kept the word of My
perseverance, I
also will keep you
from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the
whole
world, to test those who dwell upon the earth. (Rv.3:10)
- ..."Rise and measure the temple of
God, and the alter, and those who worship in it, and leave out the
court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has
been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city
for 42 months. (11:1,2) (John got the Revelation prior to the
destruction of the temple building in A.D.70)
- ...things which must shortly take
place. (Rv.22:6)
- ...I am coming quickly. (Rv.22:7)
- ...Do not seal up the words of the
prophecy of this
book, for the time
is near. (Rv.22:10)
- Behold, I am coming
quickly...(Rv.22:12)
- Yes, I am coming quickly. (Rv.22:20)
3. Armageddon in Our
Future is a Hoax
While this doctrine of an end time in the generation of the apostles is
reinforced throughout the New Testament, an end time in a future
generation is never suggested. We do not live in the end time. Jesus
and the Apostles did. It's doctrine. Jesus was not confused. We are.
Armageddon in our future is a hoax.
4. Armageddon: Looking
in All the Wrong Places
(Revelation 16-19)
When: Soon after A.D.69.
Where: West of the Euphrates in a place called Har-Magedon 2000 years
ago.
Who: The kings from the East (Parthia) and the kings from the whole
"habitable world". The Roman Empire and adjacent nations were
defined as the "habitable earth" 2000 yeas ago. Lands beyond that
were called "inhabitable earth." The kings from the Roman Empire,
Parthia in the East, and kings from North and South of the Empire
gathered for war on the great day of God the Almighty.
Why: God's wrath on the "habitable earth." (The Roman Empire and
adjacent lands.)
What: The bowls of God's wrath were His last judgments on the
habitable earth. They included painful sores, every living thing in the
sea died, the rivers and springs became blood, intense heat from the
sun, the kingdom of the beast was plunged into darkness, the
kings gathered for battle in a place called Armageddon, and God would
pour out His wrath on the great ancient city of Babylon. Babylon would
be consumed by fire and thrown down never to be found again. The
beast and kings of the earth and their armies gathered to make war with
a rider on a white horse and armies of heaven following him. The
rider's name was "Word of God." The armies of the kings of the earth
were all killed and the beast and false prophet were thrown alive into
the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Here is the history of
Armageddon nearly 2000 years ago.
Armageddon
today is a Hoax!
Some of
you may ask why these events are not recorded in history books. They
may have been. But history of A.D. 70 through 80 is a blank tape.
That missing history is conspicuous by its absence. Don't think
so? Then look for the record of the destruction of the great city of
Babylon which was burned to ruins and see what you find.
You can
still believe in
Christ,
gain salvation, and know the world
won't come to an end.
It's
doctrine!
