Chapter 4: The Error of Pre-millennial and Mid-Tribulation Doctrine

Millions of Christians in the world are holding to and believing in the pre-millennial doctrine, a theory that deceives them all greatly. To complete and fulfill God’s will and purpose this theory was accompanied with the end time prophecies and has been prophesied all over the world. Many of the basic prophecies are true and come from the Bible, but the doctrine is very wrong. And it takes the Holy Spirit to guide, teach and correct in order to sort this borderline doctrine out.

Photo: John Darby (1800-82) popularised the "secret rapture" heresy.

Television-evangelists in America have been the greatest promoters of this teaching, including Jimmy Swaggart and Oral Roberts and end time prophecy writers such as Stan Deyo, Don Stanton, Hal Lindsay (Late Great Planet Earth), Barry Smith of New Zealand and many, many more Christian authors throughout the world. And now it is time for truth without error. Millions of Christians don’t search the prophecies out, they just accept a brilliant talker and the attitude then is, it sounds right. Satan is very subtle and comes as light to fool the elect, if that would be possible (Matthew 24).

God tells us to prove all these things.

‘Despise not prophesysings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good’ I Thessalonians 5:20-21.

And again,

‘Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves Know ye not your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?’ II Corinthians 13:5.

As I have said previously, intense reading of these chapters reveals true doctrine and who exactly are the Jews. Pre-millennial doctrine goes off track from Old Testament reading, as Pre-millennialists teach Abraham and Jacob’s children are all Jews and call them the elect. As clearly shown this is very false, as carrying through from the Old Testament to the New Testament, the elect people of God are the true church in Christ. I will establish this in the following scriptures.

What this doctrine does is build up a false security and prepares the way for a global millennium, or New World Order, where mortals will live in peace for one thousand years under the reign of Christ on earth and the so called elect Jews and the immortal Christian church. I had never heard so much rot in all my life, until I read and heard this rubbish!! In a slightly different form this doctrine has a lot in common with the Mormon Church, Jehovah Witness, Church of God and many others called deceivers, who are prophets of BAAL.

The pre-millennial teaching throws in an extra lie, by adding three actual comings of Christ, when the whole Bible states clearly that there are only two and no other secret ones. The First Coming of Christ encompassing his birth, death, burial, and resurrection, is the salvation message of Calvary. The Second and Final Coming of Christ is to judge the living and the dead and to take his people home. This completes the first resurrection and rapture of the living church, just prior to God’s final outpouring of his wrath upon the whole world, the day of the Lord at the final Battle of Armageddon that finishes this whole world. There are no more future battles!

The doctrine of one thousand years, which pre-millennial teaching and others stress, is derived from Revelation Chapter 20, which they read in strict chronological order, but it is not in chronological order.

‘And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season’ Revelation 20:1-3.

If you read and examine these verses carefully, you will find the key that unlocks the door of a great mystery. Now in verse 1: the angel came down from heaven, with a key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand, very symbolic here. He then laid hold of the Devil and bound him (or restrained him) for one thousand years. Then God cast him into the bottomless pit and set, or placed, a seal on him so he couldn’t deceive or disturb the nations until the one thousand years were fulfilled and then he will be set loose for a short time. During these one thousand years God was putting his promised plan into action and would not allow Satan to interfere.

As explained in the previous two chapters, during this period of one thousand years was the re-gathering and bringing back of God’s people from captivity, the House of Israel and the House of Judah. All the prophecies foretold in the Old Testament of these great events of the spiritual calling and physical gathering to come would take place as God promised Abraham, Isaac, Israel, Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. This one thousand year period brought us from 946 A.D. (Edmond, first King of United England - which is Joseph) to the complete finish and closing of that one thousand years, with the signing by King George VI (the father of Queen Elizabeth II) of the dissolution of the British Empire in 1946 after World War II, exactly one thousand years.

King George was also the final King of England to be crowned on Edward’s chair with the ‘Stone of Scone’ or ‘Jacob’s Stone’ underneath, because the Freemasons stole it, which I will reveal in a chapter later on. Now back to Revelation 20 – after reading verse 3 – do not read verses 4, 5 and 6, as I said chapter 20 does not, I emphasis again, does not run in chronological order.

‘And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea’ Rev. 20:7-8.

Here is the final mystery revealed and when the thousand years are finished Satan will be let out of his prison. Now I will show you how he is let out. You see Joseph (England) Ephraim’s time of having the physical Throne of David on earth is finished. Manasseh (America) was the elder brother who always desired the great blessing and seat that God gave to Ephraim the younger brother.

And America now has the ‘stone of Jacob’, so Satan is let out completely. Here is the mystery of Satan let out, as we now turn to Revelation chapter 9 Revelation and read:

‘And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit’ Rev. 9:1-2.

Firstly, the fifth angel is in the seventh final seal and the seal set over Satan is now broken to begin the Great Tribulation, with the fifth angel sounding. If you read verse 1 carefully, a star (or angel) falls from heaven to earth and he was given the key of the bottomless pit (to unlock the pit). Returning to Revelation 20:3 an angel set a seal and locked Satan in the pit, whilst in chapter 9 the angel arrives with the key to let him loose or out for a short season (or a very short time). This is when Satan then goes in great fury gathering all the demon spirits together, from the four corners of the world. All the nations go into the Great Tribulation and to the final battle on earth, Armageddon.

Notice the gathering from the four corners, all over the world. We are now at the point of history of global population explosion, over five billion people on earth. This prophecy certainly blows the Pre-millennialists out of the water, as the earth doesn’t need another one thousand years of mortals to populate the four corners, because right now it is filled and verse 8 is fulfilled and very soon is Armageddon. The count down to this event had begun in the Persian Gulf on the 17th January 1991, with America getting a foothold in the Middle East.

The armies involved in this great Battle of Armageddon will be unbelievable and the current global population would enable such an immense gathering of armies:

‘And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them’ Rev. 20:9.

Here is the final battle in Israel and against the city of Jerusalem, as foretold by the prophets of old and by Jesus. The rest of the verses of this chapter 20 reveal God’s wrath at the Second Coming. The final verses of Revelation 20 are read in this order:

VERSE 11: ‘And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them’.

VERSE 13: ‘And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works’.

VERSE 12: ‘And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works’.

VERSE 15: ‘And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire’.

VERSE 14: ‘And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death’.

Also Revelation 20 verse 5 links with Daniel Chapter 12:2:

‘But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection’ Rev. 20:5.

‘And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, (first resurrection at the Second Coming of Christ) some to everlasting life, (and gap of one thousand years) and some to shame and everlasting contempt’ Daniel 12:2.

All these verses (Rev. 20:11,13,14,15 & 5) reveal the Great White Throne Judgment; all these dead people are not Christians, as they died in their sins, not washed in Christ’s blood. They are not in the first resurrection at the Second Coming of Christ, but they have to wait a gap period of one thousand years before their judgment takes place. The one thousand year period is the time Christ reigns with the immortal church in heaven for the Wedding Breakfast. After the Wedding Breakfast, the judgment of these sinners takes place. They are judged according to their works on earth and if their names are not found written in the Book of Life, they are thrown into the lake of fire, with Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet and death and Hades, which is the final second death (first death = physical death whilst second death = spiritual death and eternal damnation – Rev. 20).

Reading carefully Revelation 20 verses 4 and 6 reveals these souls as the millions of Christian martyrs of revelation, that were beheaded during the Great Tribulation, for they have all been killed just prior to the Second Coming. And they are the Church that are part of the first resurrection and represent the bulk of Christians all over the world, as the living remnant are only a scattered small group of 144,000 or the elect church.

‘And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years’ Rev. 20:4.

‘Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years (the new haven and new earth)’ Rev. 20:6.

This great number of Christians is revealed in several places. In Revelation chapter 13 they refused to take the mark of the beast:

‘And he had power to give life unto the image (Canberra) of the Beast (Washington D.C.), that the image of the Beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both great and small, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666’ Rev. 13:15-18.

‘Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven say unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them’ Rev. 14:12-13.

‘After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands…And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir thou knowest. And he said unto me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes’ Rev. 7:9-17.

‘And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand of the sea of glass, having the harps of God’ Rev. 15:1-2.

‘And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed’ Daniel 11:35.

And again:

‘Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand’ (at the time of the end) Daniel 12:10.

All these scriptures reveal clearly a multitude of peoples of all nations and tongues, being tried, made white and purified until near the time of the end. All these multitudes are Christians that God needs to purify, to make them white and try their hearts. Many of them are in doctrinal errors, many are professing Christians, but have no real commitment, although they basically have kept the law and (Rev. 14-12) commandments of God. They only have a lot of head service and not a contrite, humble spirit and heart that God looks for in his people. Many also have idols in their lives by placing other things before God. But they will all put on immortality, at the Second Coming of Christ.

As I stated previously, the pre-millennial doctrine is one of great falsehood and gives Christians a terrible false security, especially concerning the rapture of the living church. Christians have been deceived. They have been told for years they will not enter the Great Tribulation, that they will be leaving this planet so they won’t have to worry about the Mark. Satan is the father of lies and this is a big one: the bigger the lie the more likely you will believe it. When the marking of the people is announced worldwide, Christians will be shocked to find they are still here and the faith of many will be shaken. Forewarned is forearmed, so don’t stick your head in the sand, study the scriptures and be prepared for martyrdom if you refuse the Mark of the Beast: God has revealed all this knowledge in his Holy Word the Bible.

In Revelation 7 the scriptures tell how the elect church is only 144,000 from the twelve tribes of the House of Israel, they are the virgin olives, meaning the best of the crop of olives. These 144,000 Christian elect have been sealed by God in the first half of three and a half years and are well prepared for the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation (they have all been accounted worthy to escape).

All Christians enter the Great Tribulation, even the elect church. The resurrection and rapture are the mystery of the Second Coming, which occurs between the sixth and just before the seventh angel sounds, the last trumpet of the seventh seal.

Shortly it will be the time of the Martyrs of Revelation. I have written this book for those martyrs as they make up God’s eternal church, God will give them the courage to overcome and he will strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ as the time approaches. Do not let anyone talk you into receiving the Mark. Look to the resurrection and eternal life that Christ will give when He comes. The last section in this book is for the true interpretation of the scriptures, on this whole subject, read these verses thoroughly.
