It's Supernatural

And we could go on and talk about the Babylonians conquering the Egyptians and this is what they did and they did it through different methods. So what Christ does is this. Christ uses the “Seven Sealed Book.” You know we’ve talked about this on our series in detail. Because in the Book of Revelation one of the first things you see in heaven is the Lamb has a Seven Sealed Book.

Now don’t think of a book like your Bible because in John’s day these would be scrolls. They would be a very large scroll. And it has leather ties. in the scrolls in that day in the Roman period, or in the time of when John wrote this, you’d have a scroll and you would have leather that would, let’s say seven straps of leather and you tie it. Then to seal it you’d take hot wax and you put on top of the leather, and every, you have to have a Signet ring.

A Signet ring, a Signet was a ring that had a symbol on it. It could be a lion, it could be a, a serpent, it could be uh, uh, an animal, it could be a cosmic thing, it just depended on the family. Sometimes it was a family seal or a, or a kingly seal. And when the wax was hot you, you put your imprint of that ring on that. Now you know, I think we’ve talked about this,

I know our ministry partners know this, that, that I tend to be very strong what we call “Pre-Trib,” meaning that somewhere before the, or right at the time of, or right before the signing of the seven year treaty there’s a “catching away.” Now let me tell you one of the reasons why,, and this is a strong point and most people know nothing about what I am getting ready to tell you. This was done through research. It has to do with the Seven Seal Scroll.

But notice what I am about to tell you. According to early church fathers and even scholars who know history, the Book of Revelation was written by John on the Isle of Patmos where he was a political prisoner around the year 95 A.D. After the Emperor who had him arrested died, John was allowed to be released from the Island. Now someone said “why do you think he had to write it in symbolism?” Let me give you one example why he had to write it in symbolism.

Because if you read Revelation chapter 17 and 18, it talks about a “Mystery Babylon,” a city ruling over the kings of the earth that’s going to be destroyed. John, in fact in the time of Jesus, when the Jews were speaking against Rome they always called it Babylon.   They coded it. And the reason they coded it is any statement by a Jew against Rome or the Roman Empire was instant persecution, jail and death time. So God allowed John to veil it as Babylon so that no one who would be a Roman who would look at that scroll would keep that scroll and burn it.

I mean think about this for a moment. Here’s an old man, he’s probably close to a 100 years of age and he’s had a vision of a flying dragon with seven heads and ten horns, a woman that’s pregnant in the heaven with the dragon trying to eat her and he has all this weird symbolism of a seven sealed book and a Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes and obviously if the Roman people were reading that and looking at that they’d say this guy musta been smoking something.

Give him his old scroll and get out a here. God actually allowed the symbolism to protect the book from its destruction by Romans. Everybody got that? So we always want to know why didn’t God just make it simple why didn’t God just say I’m going to destroy Rome one day. Because if he said it that way that book would have never got off the Isle of Patmos.

Here’s Discovery News, talking about part-human, part-machine transistors being built. Here’s the Danger Room: The Pentagon looks to breed immortal synthetic organisms. That’s what I referred to a moment ago. And I also want to say something about this one.

Top pentagon scientists fear brain-modified foes. Now you if could see the date on that, June 9, 2008 and you might wonder about why I would choose to include a slide that is 5 years old with these other newer slides. I do because this slide here has historic importance to me and that is that it was the first time that the public began to understand that among some of the top scientific advisory panels that give advice to the U.S. Pentagon and the Department of Defense among them there are those who believe that the human enhancement revolution represents the next arms race.

That’s how serious they are about it. In other words, in much the same way as the old Soviet Union competed with the United States for the build-up of nuclear arms in what was, what is now called the Cold War but it was the nuclear arms race. People like the Jason’s. Who are the Jason’s? It says they are the celebrated scientists on the Pentagon’s most prestigious scientific advisory panel and that’s about all you ever will know about them. I have a friend that has above top secret security clearance and he said forget it, brother, you’ll never know who the Jason’s are.

But suffice it to say they are among the intelligentsia and they believe that the United States may already have fallen behind. Now here’s the thing. We don’t know what they know. Why would the Jason’s be telling the Pentagon last year that you have until the end of this year to get ahead of this technology or you face falling, their words, unrecoverably behind in the race for human enhancement.
