The Greatest Lie ever told is currently prevailing amidst the sacred corridors of the world-wide Christian Church. The evil devious tentacles of this lie are ever reaching

forward and outward unto the far reaches of the earth into every corner of the Church. It is altogether astonishing where this lie is to be found, the very remotest regions of the

earth seem to be affected. This lie is a great cancerous error having far-reaching consequences and implications – even the most respected teachers and preachers of the

Christian church are entrenched and effected by this diabolical lie – It was about the year 1830 that this lie made its devious appearance – since then it has spread world-

wide like a firestorm – we speak, of course, of FUTURISM

This short-form manuscript No.9B titled “The Greatest Lie Ever Told” constitutes an elementary

study detailing the actual LIE itself and how this diabolical LIE of FUTURISM violently and viciously contradicts the Word of God. Another manuscript (number 9-C) of the same series (The Greatest Lie Ever Told) is an elementary study of just how this shocking end-time LIE came into

existence – how it was formulated, when and by whom and in what manner.

The reader is advised of yet another writing directly connected with the above mentioned two volumes – We speak of our short-form manuscript number 22 entitled – “The Catholic Counter Reformation”

All scriptural references alluded to in this writing are taken from the 1611 King James authorised version of the scriptures unless otherwise stated – for the convenience of the reader the scriptural

references are printed in RED while the scriptures themselves are printed in BLUE and are in Italics

Exceedingly CONTROVERSIAL, every thought provoking, profoundly disturbing

and deeply challenging and very difficult for some to believe, this manuscript unveils at last the greatest LIE ever devised, hatched and postulated amidst the Body of Christ [the world-wide Church] by the very agents of hell. This greatest deception of our difficult, evil, misleading times (2007 – updated June 2014) is called “Futurism” and all believers who believe this incredible lie are called “Futurists” although most Futuristic believers are NOT aware of the name of the prophetic theory or the nature and character of the system of biblical prophetic teaching that they adhere to in this present generation [it was only in recent times [around 1830] that futurism made its diabolical appearance]. This particular manuscript is a mere introduction to the vast subject; it is the FIRST Volume RELEASED of a series of writings that will establish once and for all time until kingdom come that perhaps 95% (even 98%) of contemporary believers have believed an outright diabolical LIE of the highest order. We are speaking of the almost universally believed end-time prophetic scenario which postulates the soon coming of a certain individual who will be identified as the supposed expected “Antichrist”. It is further declared that this intellectual genius of a Satanic man will be involved in all manner of incredible deeds, actions and events including the erroneous seven years of the “Great Tribulation” at the end of this age and the mysterious so-called “Secret Rapture” – an outright ridiculous and preposterous concept which has NO foundation in the word of God whatsoever. As we proceed in our study it will become exceedingly clear to any discerning student of the Word of God that this entire end-time prophetic scenario is one mind-boggling evil LIE of tremendous proportions cunningly and deceitfully devised by the agents of the real Antichrist system to cover up their own identity. The surest way to place a spiritual smokescreen between you and those, whom you do not wish to know your true identity, is to concoct a theory which will turn their eyes away from you and onto another candidate. As we rapidly approach the end (termination) of this present evil Laodicean Age, {see details of this end-time age in Revelation 3:14-22} this erroneous Futuristic teaching will be completely and violently shaken, for “whatsoever can be shaken shall be shaken” {see Hebrews 12:25-29} so

that whatsoever cannot be shaken shall remain. Then shall the real truth be at last widely unveiled and revealed. This little writing and others of the same series are but the precursor to the final demise of the Futuristic lie. As the candid reader ponders the incredible fact of the deliberate LIE of Futurism, it ought to be understood that we are NOT dealing here with mere opinions but with a massive deliberate fabrication of the highest order (forgery). It is also to be clearly understood that to believe this lie, as multitudes of believers do, is NO light matter; indeed, it is an exceedingly serious matter, especially in the light of Colossians 3:9; James 3:14; and 1 John 1:6; and especially Revelation 21:8; 27; 22:15. {The reader is seriously WARNED concerning these three scriptures in the book of Revelation – in particular does NOT revelation 2:15 teach that whosoever loveth and maketh a lie will have NO part (no entry) into New Jerusalem}. The author of this manuscript has met many (nay numerous) believers who ardently and hotly support, favour and maintain this diabolical theory against the truth of the matter – dear brother / sister listen to me – IF peradventure you are one of those believers who hitherto believed this LIE of futurism BEWARE for the scriptures just quoted strongly suggest that you will face dire and horrendous consequences for your ardent support of this lie. Some foolish believers rashly declare it does NOT really matter what we believe regarding the end-time scenario as long as we all love Jesus. Such believers simply do NOT in any way understand the true nature and character of this lie they have (sometimes unwittingly) believed.

Astonishing in its scope and popularity, ridiculous and seriously lamentable in

its claims and assertions, horrendously dangerous in its implications and consequences and shockingly arrogant and dishonourable in its violations, gross misrepresentations and deliberate contravening of the Word of God --- The greatest LIE ever told, FUTURISM, is here at last unveiled, revealed, made bare and made public for all candid and seriously minded Biblical believers to see and behold so that they can escape its evil tentacles and lured intent and flee unto the Truth which is Jesus Christ and be gloriously set free. There are thousands of contemporary believers who are indifferent, shallow and totally apathetic (and indeed shockingly pathetic) with regards to the TRUTH as set forth in the infallible word of God. We speak of that unbelievable nonsensical LIE that postulates that soon in the near future (we write these words in the latter days of the year of our Lord 2007 – updated in June 2014) an individual superstar and political leader will arise amidst the nations of the contemporary European community and bring together in political, economic and social (even spiritual) unity a ten nation block which will be known as the Federation of European Nations (another name for the supposed unity of the ten European nations will be the “United States of Europe”). An unbelievable historically and biblically inaccurate claim made by those that postulate this nonsense is that this forthcoming “United States of Europe” will be the resurrection of the ancient pagan Roman Empire. [It is absolutely astonishing to see and behold how some believers (who should know better) display much incredible ignorance of historical facts when they assert that the present European Community IS THE resurrected pagan Roman Empire – a clear example – the Scandinavian nation of Finland is a present member of the European Community (Finland became a member of the European Community in 1995) BUT WAS NOT at any time PART of the ancient pagan Roman Empire]. This intellectual man of high repute will become known as the “Antichrist”. This one man will be the manifestation of the long expected “Antichrist” furthermore; this so-called Federation of European Nations will be the precursor to the so-called “New World Order” which is supposedly

The following is the principle Narrative

the secret code name for a One World Government.1 Once this New World Order is established, a new world monetary system will be introduced – it will be in the form of a “cashless society”, and everyone will have to use a new form of a credit/debit system without the use of money. All people will be required to have a “mark” imprinted on their right hand or on their forehead2. Each and every mark of every individual in the world is, according to this erroneous teaching, registered in a massive central super computer (Futurists differ widely as to where this computer will be situated), but the present consensus of opinion is that it will be (or presently is) based in Brussels. This central computer is supposedly called “THE BEAST” (unbelievably ridiculous). It is an acronym (see Figure One below). This computer will issue every human being with an eighteen-digit number (with the number 666 intentionally intricately interwoven into the system) and if one does NOT have this number one simply cannot buy or sell anything according to the Futurists. The futurists teach that all foodstuffs in particular cannot be brought or sold unless the buyer has the said mark.

Amidst all these dramatic happenings, the astonishingly erroneous theory continues, the illusive third Jewish Temple will be constructed in Jerusalem with the full agreement of the enemies of Israel. Of course, as can be imagined there is widespread differences of opinion among Futurists as to just how, when and who will be responsible for removing the two Islamic buildings presently occupying the Temple Mount within the ancient city walls of Jerusalem so that the Third Temple can be erected. To the Jews it is unthinkable that the Third Temple will be erected anywhere else. Some futurists postulate that this new third temple will be built next to the present building known as the Mosque of Omar [proposed site shown]

1 The proponents of this LIE declare that in the course of time once this so-called “Antichrist” has established himself in authority

in diplomacy he will bring the world’s nations together in a form of unity in the which they will yield their separate national

sovereignties to a world central authority. Thus all the political, economic, military and ecclesiastical powers of the entire world

would be brought under that central authority – the United Nations (not the present structure). All Nuclear weaponry would be

brought under the total control of this up and coming new U.N. This One World Government will have one man as its sole ruler –

who will be, of course, the long awaited “Antichrist”. 2 Futurists widely and wildly differ as to the nature of this so-called “mark”. According to one widely held opinion, all buying and

selling in the new monetary systems will be done by computer, without currency, change or checks. In the program people will

receive a designated number that has been assigned to them, tattooed on their wrist or forehead. This number is put on by laser

beam and cannot be felt. The number in the body is NOT seen with the naked eye and is as permanent as your fingerprints. All

items of consumer goods will be marked with a computer mark. The computer scanner in the store which picks up the number or

Bar Code on the items at the check-out stand will also pick up the number in the person’s body and automatically total their price

and deduct the amount from the persons special drawing rights account.

Here is a photograph of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem – The central feature of this elevated site is the Golden domed – Dome of the Rock (otherwise known as the Mosque of Omar) -- To the left is the famous Al-Aqsa Mosque.

One of the proposed sites for the Third Temple

With reference to the above photograph of the temple Mount – This temple mount – in Hebrew the temple mount is spoken of as “Har habayith,” in Arabic it is “Haron al-sherif” or the Noble Sanctuary – It is arguably the most important piece of real estate in the entire world. It is approximately 37 acres in size; upon this elevated platform stand numerous Islamic structures, especially the central Dome of the rock with the famous dome of gold [otherwise known as the Mosque of Omar – it is neither a mosque nor was it built by anyone called Omar]. The Dome of the Rock is 21 meters in height; it was completed in 691 A.D. on the orders of the Caliph Abd al-Malik. The other important building is a true mosque called the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The balance of the Temple mount is occupied by an Islamic museum, Islamic schools, trees and other small Islamic structures.

The entire Temple mount is presently under the direct authority [or administration] of the Islamic Waqf – a certain Islamic council who control affairs on the temple mount.

It is of great interest to note that a certain Jewish group called – The Temple mount and Eretz faithful movement wish to relocate the Dome of the Rock to Mecca and then they plan to replace the site with the Third Temple.

This altogether Jewish Temple Institute is situated on 19 Misgav Ledach, Jerusalem – the institute is totally dedicated to building the third Temple on Mount Moriah [the Temple Mount]and has been for many years collecting artefacts for its completion and furnishings.

The incredible theory continues --- a crisis will suddenly eventuate in the Middle East between Israel and her Arab enemies.

Everyone will look to the President of the European Federation for a solution. And this amazing character will not disappoint anybody; He will supposedly travel to the Middle East and procure a seven year peace treaty between the two bitter enemies, the Jews and the Arabs.

For the first time in over sixty years an international leader will effectually bring about real peace between two sworn enemies – he will be world acclaimed as a special leader with unusual and greatly admirable qualities. The moment this peace treaty is signed the Futurists would have us to believe the great divine clock of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy is restarted {see Daniel 9:24-27} and the last week of this prophecy thus begins after a gap in the prophecy of nearly 2000 years, a preposterous assertion and a gross violation of the clear understanding of the Word of God.

Thus according to the Futurists, begins the last seven years of the history of the earth and these seven years are supposedly called --- “THE GREAT TRIBULATION.” The next event in this huge scenario of gross forgeries and lies is what is called the SECRET RAPTURE – the Futurists actually teach that there will be three comings of the Lord and in this regards they can surely be considered as cultist. The Second Coming they incredibly divide into two parts. The first part they call “the Rapture” and the second part they call “the Revelation”. The interval in-between is designated as the seven years tribulation (please see the diagram {Figure Two on page 8}). When the Futurists speak of the “Rapture” they have devised or concocted an event wherein it is taught that the true Body of Christ suddenly disappears into thin air in a moment of time (some Futurist teachers actually teach that when the Christians disappear all their clothes will be “left behind” in piles on the ground). The Futurists differ dramatically as to just when this “Rapture” will eventuate – Some teach that this peculiar event will take place at the very beginning of the seven year period they like to call the “Great Tribulation”, this teaching is called the PRE-

TRIBULATION RAPTURE (or simply Pre-tribulation). Others teach the Rapture is going to take place in the middle of the tribulation; this teaching is called the MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE

The Beast B – Brussels E – Electronic A – Accounting S – Surveillance T - Terminal Figure One – The Above absurd Futuristic invention found in many recent Futuristic publications points to Brussels as the site of the said Computer

(or simply Mid-tribulation) and lastly some Futurists teach the Rapture is going to eventuate at the end of the seven year Tribulation period3 this teaching is called the POST – TRIBULATION RAPTURE (Post Tribulation). Still other futuristic groups teach variations of the above mentioned three idea’s all of which we shall consider in our writing – Manuscript number 9A. If the subject matter was NOT so serious we would all by now be in hysterics, for the above account, together with the balance of this story would have to be the most bizarre, outrageous, and incredibly embarrassing and laughable fairy tale of all time. Regrettably, however, in all seriousness, we are dealing here with the GREATEST LIE EVER TOLD. Here is by far the greatest smokescreen ever fabricated, the very masterpiece of satanic intrigue and deception. Even more amazing than all these things is the fact that tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of sincere believers (Christians) throughout the world at this present time essentially believe all this, as if, would you believe , such things were actually taught in the Word of God. Of course, it almost goes without saying that tens of thousands of these believers who have been taught this diabolical LIE from the numerous pulpits of Christendom have NEVER seriously checked to see IF peradventure the scriptures actually teach such an end-time scenario. To continue to declare this incredible fairy tale - It is generally declared by the futuristic teachers that during this supposed seven year Great Tribulation anyone caught without the “mark” will be executed for they will be considered as in rebellion against the regime of the said Antichrist. (many years ago a certain so-called teacher actually (incredibly) postulated that during this so—called tribulation period bubble cars with built in guillotines would move around the various districts of the world’s cities looking for those unfortunate souls who did not have this so-called mark upon then and then these poor souls would be summarily executed by the guillotine on the bubble car on the spot). It is to be noted that at this time two other special individuals will greatly frustrate the Antichrist in his enterprise, they are supposedly the Two Witnesses spoken of in Revelation chapter 11 another individual known as the false prophet spoken of in Revelation chapter 13 will assist the Antichrist. Furthermore, as a direct result of the aforementioned amazing peace accord between the Jews and the Arabs, this leader of the European Confederation (or Federation) will be hailed as the greatest leader throughout the world and many Futurists even go so far as to declare many Jews will acknowledge him as the expected Messiah.

3 indisputably the TWO most influential live authors advocating the entire concept (lie) of Futurism in our times are the TWO

Americans Tim LaHaye and Hal Lindsey – We will profile these two famous (some would say infamous) at the end of this

manuscript in a special section devoted to the subject. Briefly here − Hal Lindsey (born in Houston on November 23rd 1929,

presently aged 85) is declared to be an American evangelist and Christian witter responsible for the bestselling book entitled “The

Great late Planet Earth” first published in 1970. It is correctly claimed that over 35 million copies have been sold since 1970 and

it is also claimed (but this claim is highly disputed) that the book was responsible for saving over 1 million souls. In the opinion

of the writer of this present manuscript the Great Late Planet Earth is one of the greatest fairy tales ever published and is directly

responsible for spreading the greatest LIE EVER TOLD.

Tim LaHaye (Born in Detroit on April 27th 1926, presently aged 88) is a famous American evangelical Christian minister,

author and speaker. He is best known for his “LEFT BEHIND” series of apocalyptic fiction books that he co-authored with Jerry

B. Jenkins, which is a series of 16 books having collectivity sold just more than 65 million copies.

At this rather special point of time, the Futurists continue, this Antichrist will begin to wield full totalitarian power over all things – he will then not only be the President of the European super state, but he will also be the chief executive of the super world bank and furthermore will be in total control of all the religions of the world through the amazing efforts of the false prophet. Then, would you believe, this Antichrist is promptly assassinated, only to be quickly resurrected, after which he will make his way to the newly built Temple in Jerusalem, enter the Holy of Holies and proclaim himself as “God”, after which he will command all peoples, nations and tongues to worship him. He will then be, as Futurists are fond of declaring, “Lucifer Incarnate”. Then his true nature will be manifest for all to see as he demands total allegiance. At that time it will be the death penalty for anybody who does NOT have his “mark”. All true Christians, according to the Post-Tribulationists, along with any Jews who do NOT bow down and acknowledge this man as the Messiah, will be subject to the vilest death. It is believed by some Futurists that at this point of time this Antichrist will set up an “Image” (stature) of his personal likeness in some place (Futurists differ widely as to where this supposed Image is to be erected) and all peoples, tongues and Nations will be required to worship this Image in some specified manner. This astonishing concept will supposedly be the direct fulfilment of Revelation 13:14,15; 14:9,11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; and 20:4.

The Fallacies (myths or fables) of Futurism The Following are but a few of the more obvious myths of this ridicules theory – It is

to be noted that the level of historical and biblical scholarship and spiritual understanding found amidst those who promote the fable of Futurism leaves much

to be desired

(1) The Futurists teach that the Federation of European Nations (The PRESENT European

Community) which the supposed Antichrist will bring to political, social and economic unity is the resurrected Pagan Roman Empire. This is outrageous for several nations of the present European community such as Sweden, Finland and Denmark were NOT PART of the ancient Pagan Roman Empire. One is forced to wonder at the spiritual integrity of they that teach such nonsense.

(2) The Futurists teach that the said Antichrist will unite the forthcoming European Block into a European superpower --- The Word of God contradicts the Futurist teachers insomuch as it clearly teaches there will be NO unity between the nations of the European Block even as iron is NOT mixed with miry clay {see Daniel 2:41-43}. (Most Futurists teach {wrongly as it turns out} that the toes of the image of Daniel 2 represent the present European Community). The Futurists cannot ignore the simple declarations of the Word of God, but in their arrogance and conceitedness they do ignore the Word of God to their own undoing.

(3) The Futurists teach, generally speaking, that the contemporary European Community is the manifestation of the ten toes of Daniels image {see Daniel 2:33-35; 41-44}. Yet a study of history confirms that the pagan Roman Empire (represented by the Iron legs of the image) disintegrated into TEN separated independently ruled BARBARIAN kingdoms which were in NO WAY unified together {see Daniel 2:43}. Then the scripture declares in verse 44 --- “In the days of these Kings (or kingdoms) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed.” Medieval and modern History confirms that the geographical area occupied by the original Ten barbarian kingdoms is NOW in our times occupied by at least 18 independent Nations, principalities or kingdoms.

It is thus clear that when the scripture declares – “In the days of those Kingdoms shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed’ it refers to the fact that IN these ten areas independent Kingdoms shall operate and exist UNTIL the Kingdom of God shall come. Here are thus TWO principle facts which denigrate the futuristic theory which are –

(1)When the Kingdom of God is set up there will still be in existence SEPARATE KINGDOMS IN EUROPE as described by the statement – “in the days of those Kings (or kingdoms)” --- The Erroneous Futuristic teaching is that Antichrist will unite these kingdoms ---- (2) The Futuristic idea or teaching that the ten toes of the Daniels image is the current European Community is contrary to the facts of History as the Roman Empire disintegrated into Ten Barbarian kingdoms which in the course of time became the present European community which presently has 27 member states. As there are Ten Toes in Daniels Image how can they then represent 27 member states. The whole idea is ridiculous.

(4) The Futurists teach that the Antichrist will be an individual man while the Scriptures speak of a

dynasty of Antichrists – Here again there is a clear discrepancy between the Word of God and the Futuristic teaching. The Futurists particularly use 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 for their source for the ministry of Antichrist --- In this chapter the apostle Paul speaks of the coming of an Antichrist clearly in verses 3-11 declaring that the mystery of iniquity (Antichrist) does already exist (see verse 7) at the very time Paul is writing to the Thessalonian believers. 1 John 2:18 also supports this but then Paul declares in verse 8 that the brightness of the Lord’s coming will destroy this Antichrist --- If antichrist was an individual he would have to live for nearly 2,000 years for the self-same individual that Paul was speaking about to be slain at the time of the Lord’s Second Coming. Furthermore, if it were true that an individual named Antichrist was to make his appearance during the last 7 years of the history of the Church why

10

was it necessary for Paul to even mention the subject? Why would it be necessary to inform believers who would have NO dealings with such a man seeing they were living nearly 2,000 years from the event? Clearly the apostle Paul was referring to an apostasy which was to make its appearance not long after Paul’s death and this apostasy was to have a leading figure which was to be known as the Man of Sin or the Son of perdition (Antichrist).

(5) The Futurists teach that there will be 7 years of tribulation at the end of this age which they take from Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy splitting the prophecy into two portions – the Futurists teach that 69 weeks of Daniel’s prophecy was fulfilled up to the ministry of Christ then there will be a gap of nearly 2,000 years in the said prophecy and then, would you believe, the prophecy would re-start at the end of this age and the last week (7 years) would run its course. This so-called “gap” theory is a gross violation, and a deceitful mishandling of the Word of God – In the prophecy itself {see Daniel 9:24-27} there is NO indication of a gap, neither is the concept of a prophetic gap anywhere to be found in the Word of God. This manipulating of the scriptures by the Futurists to fit their preconceived lies is absolutely shocking and will NOT GO UNPUNISHED.

(6) A gross inconsistency and an obvious violation of the scriptures in the Futuristic teaching is the fact that these false teachers (Futurists) rightly declare that the 70 weeks of Daniel’s Prophecy {Daniel 9:24-27} actually means 490 years insomuch as one prophetic day is equal to one year. Then they erroneously declare that the prophetic symbolic system changes in the New Testament were the prophetic 1,260 days of Revelation 12:6 together with the “time, and times, and half a time” of Revelation 12:14 and the forty-two months of Revelation 13:5 all represent actual days. There is simply NO evidence that Prophetic time-scales change from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

(7) The Futurists teach that the two supposed witnesses who are to appear will be two individuals who did not die once --- They teach that Enoch and Elijah must therefore return to oppose the Antichrist and will die in the process only to be resurrected --- there are other individuals who will NOT DIE once so the very concept collapses --- at least two souls were raised from the dead by the Lord during His earthly ministry, thus they died twice and according to the Scriptures an entire company of believers will be raised from the earth at the Second Coming none of which will taste of death once.

(8) The Futurists teach that the third Temple will be built in Jerusalem and the Jews are preparing for the same with the resumption of animal sacrifices --- But Jesus declared HE was the last and final sacrifice for the sins of His people {Hebrews 9:26}.

It would be totally contrary to the plain teaching of Jesus for the physical Temple to be rebuilt and the sacrificial system to be reinstated. It is true, however that many Jews (especially certain orthodox Jews in present Israel) DO BELIEVE in the imminent building of what will be the Third Temple. A certain institute called “The Temple Institute” presently exists for the sole purpose of preparing (in every way) for the building of the Third Temple – in this regard it should be remembered that the contemporary unbelieving unconverted Jews are somewhat spiritually blind (not knowing the Identity of their Messiah) – they have NO knowledge whatsoever that Jesus Christ (Yeshua) was the final sacrifice for sin and thus there is to be NO new Temple during this present dispensation.

(9) To teach that the “Beast” is a computer system is absurd and exceedingly dangerous nonsense. The book of Revelation, the very revelation of Jesus Christ is highly symbolic, yet its divine symbols are taken by foolish and unwise men (and women) and treated with contempt by applying carnal foolhardy interpretations.

(10) The Futurists teach in effect that the entire (wonderful) divine revelation of the 16th Century

Protestant Reformation was wrong insomuch as thousands, even tens of thousands of Bible believing believers taught at that time that the Church of Rome was the great biblical antichrist system. Were they all woefully wrong and our modern day Futurists are right? --- Did thousands of Reformers die for naught at the hands of Papal Rome believing as they did that it

11

was worthy to willingly DIE for the truth of the revelation they had received concerning the true nature and character of the Roman Catholic Church than to deny Christ? I think NOT. Their blood cries from the dust for the truth concerning the Church of Rome to once again be unveiled.

(11) Some of the greatest, most respected, well known preachers/teachers of the Philadelphian

church age (from 1750 unto 1900) clearly taught that the entire historical and contemporary Roman Catholic system was the manifestation of the biblical Antichrist system and furthermore they taught it was dangerously false and deceptive to teach that there was to be a manifestation of an individual Antichrist at the end of this age together with all the other erroneous nonsense that is taught directly connected with the ministry of this supposed Antichrist. The question obviously arises – were these men all false prophets, did these hundreds of famous teachers/preachers mislead the people to whom they were preaching --- We add --- The level of biblical scholarship and spiritual understanding in our times which is demonstrated by the contemporary Futuristic teachers is shockingly destitute of truth and clearly demonstrates the current Laodicean condition --- which condition declares that numerous present day well known preachers/teachers are totally spiritually blind and know NOTHING yet as they ought to know --- This author has NO hesitation to declare who he would rather believe when it comes to the true Identity of the Antichrist system -- this author would rather believe John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Bunyan, Sir Isaac Newton, John Wesley, George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards, Dr. Henry Grattan Guinness, Charles Spurgeon, Bishop John Charles Ryle, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and hundreds of others rather than believe the false teachers some of which are John Wolvoord, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Hal Lindsey, John Vernon McGee, Kenneth Nathaniel Taylor, Thomas Ice, Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, Jack Van Impe, Jerry Falwell, John Hagee, Dave Hunt, Church Hissler, John Wimber, Rick Joyner, Paul Cain and hundreds of others.

(12) The Futurists teach that the entire book of the Revelation is yet to be fulfilled in the future as

we write these words in the year of our Lord A.D. 2007 while the introduction to the prophecy of revelation clearly indicates otherwise {see Revelation 1:3}.

(13) The Futurists teach that the forthcoming European super state of Ten Nations is representative

of the ten toes of the great image of Daniel 2. But the European Union presently has 27 partner nations (as at 1st January 2007) – Has the image of Daniel 2 suddenly grown 17 extra toes? The notion is ridiculous. In the light of the expanding European Union, some Futurists now insist that a block of 10 states will break away from the main block and form some sort of Federation on its own. The Image of Daniel chapter 2 does NOT allow this; there is NOT a deformed foot in the image of Daniel 2 with ten toes separated from 17 other toes. Unless a federation of 10 European states brakes away in the future the Futurists are presented with an exceedingly serious problem as they obviously CANNOT use the ten toes of Daniel 2 – if the Futurists are forced to concede they are wrong concerning the toes of the great image of Daniel 2 there entire theory falls hopelessly into the pit from whence it came.

(14) A so-called proof text for the “Secret” Rapture is given by Futurists as 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

especially verse 16 but herein is the loudest verse in the Scriptures – There is absolutely NO secrecy in this verse. There will be a SHOUT, and THE VOICE of the ARCHANGEL, and the TRUMP OF GOD.

(15) The Futurists teach that there will be two more comings of the Lord thus they teach that altogether there are to be three comings – Nowhere, absolutely nowhere does the word of God indicate THREE COMINGS of the Lord – this is yet another dangerous, misleading diabolical LIE. They actually declare that the Second Coming will be in two phases but in reality if you look at the facts they are declaring two more comings.

(16) The Futurists teach that Matthew 24:40-41 are proof texts of the Secret Rapture but a little study will easily demonstrate it is the wicked that are taken away in death just like it was in the days of Noah and NOT the saints removed from the earth as it is taught.

12

(17) The scriptures declare that the understanding of prophecy is of NO private interpretation {2 Peter 1:20} but is in accordance with sound historical Biblical principles. The Futurist interpretation of prophecy was unknown before A.D.1830 in the principle Western evangelical churches of Europe, America, Canada and Australasia when it was introduced by certain well known (or should be well known) individuals. The other truthful Historical school of prophetic interpretation was well known from New Testament times and was highlighted from the 16th Century Protestant Reformation. The origin of the Historical school of prophetic interpretation was from very early times (2nd century) when the light of truth shone in the hearts and minds of the early apostles {see 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2}.

(18) If as the Futurists would have us to believe, the book of Revelation is yet to be fulfilled then NO mention is made in the Scriptures of the rise, power, might, dominion, persecution and idolatry of the greatest evil religious kingdom ever to exist in the history of the nations, not to mention the terrible deaths of 90 million Protestants at the hands of such a system -- such a notion is absurd. Of course the Scriptures would speak of such a monstrous system. The truth of the matter is that perhaps 95% of the book of Revelation has been fulfilled in its narrative of the history of the church including many very specific details of the diabolical career of the Church of Rome {see Revelation chapters 12,13, 17 and 18 in particular}.

(19) The Futurists declare that the proof text for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem is 2 Thessalonians 2:4 which says --- “who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God” (Young’s Literal Translation). What proof is there that "the temple of God" in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 is to be a physical temple in physical Jerusalem? Indeed, there are at least three reasons for rejecting that interpretation. First is the fact that no Scripture makes a direct prediction of rebuilding the Temple after 70 A.D. Secondly, one must consider the nature of the Jerusalem temple in the New Testament. Everyone understands that the temple in Jerusalem was the temple of God when Jesus arrived on the scene. Jesus himself said of the temple, "Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!" (John 2:16). It was in the temple that animals were sacrificed and their blood shed for the remission of the people’s sins. However, Jesus came into the world to offer His own body and blood as the perfect sacrifice for sins. Thus, at the moment of His death, God acted in an unprecedented manner: "Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked" (Matthew 27:51). In this graphic fashion God declared that when Jesus died He was finished with that physical temple. Following the rending of the veil, the term "House of God" never again refers to the temple in Jerusalem. A physical temple has not existed now for over 1900 years. Any physical temple built today would be a slap in the face to Jesus, who shed His blood to do away with the temple’s animal sacrifices. The second temple, which existed in Jesus’ day, was once the temple of God and then ceased to be. A third temple, if built, would not for one second of time be a temple of God. This brings us to the third point. Notice how clear 1 Timothy 3:15 states it: "That you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (bold emphasis supplied). Scripture could not say any more clearly what the "House of God" is today - God’s church {see also 1 Peter 2:4-5}. The same is true of the expression "Temple of God." Examination shows that after Jesus’ death, “The temple of God" never again refers to the physical temple in physical Jerusalem. Rather, it refers to the church of God. It seems that our brethren in Corinth were not quite clear on this point.

Thus Paul asked them, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16). Today we would ask people a similar question: "When you study prophecy about the ‘temple of God,’ do you not know that since Jesus’ death the people of God are the ‘temple of God’? Do you not know that the ‘house of God’ is the church of God?" This is sound doctrine. Using sound doctrine as the basis for the study of prophecy, the careful student of the New Testament will realize that when 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 speaks prophetically of "The temple of God," it must be a prophecy about the church. Something very bad is going to happen to Christ’s church.

(20) The Futurists teach that the so-called “RAPTURE” (this grossly misleading word is NOT found in the word of God) can take place at any moment --- This concept is known as the “any Moment” theory. This idea is erroneous and is contrary to the word of God which declares in Acts 3:20-21 --- “And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Here it is taught that JESUS CHRIST is presently in the heavens and will remain there until a certain specified time.

(21) Lastly we cannot ignore the specific scriptural references to them who are Liars, and who make lies, and those who declare lies. Dear Reader, please read carefully and prayerfully Revelation 21:8 and 21:27 --- The entire Futuristic theory or teaching is a massive LIE of the highest proportions which mountain of lies we simply cannot ignore. While it is abundantly clear that there will be many believers who will continue to believe the Futuristic Lie until it is shaken down for what it is --- it is wise and prudent to depart from all Lies NOW before the time comes wherein it may be too late to consider the possibility that you have believed a LIE. We strongly advise all and any reader who is shocked or startled at the claims made in this document ---- Be wise, tread carefully, you may have believed a lie without knowing all the facts.

Please read the other books of this series before you condemn our claims --- while, of course there will be many, even multitudes of believers who will simply disregard as nonsense our claims made herein, we appeal to you to carefully and prayerfully consider all the facts before you come to a conclusion. Brethren, the situation is FAR, FAR more serious than you may well presently understand, so be careful.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
