Remember, Jesus said in Matthew 24:14, "the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations; then the end shall come".  We see the same thing here.

Just as in the 1st Seal, the rider on the white horse goes forth conquering, the gospel goes forth into all the world, for a witness of these things.  I believe many will believe in Yahshua as Messiah during these times, but great persecution will also come to the body of Yahshua who are not living for him, and being conformed unto his image.  Belief in Him alone, is not sufficient for protection from the "beast".  We must begin to come out of all of the "babyloniaish" ways and serve him in "spirit and truth".  

Notice also, that the hour of his judgment is come.  One hour here, means 7 Years.  We will see later in the opening of the 7th Seal, there was silence in heaven for 1/2 hour, or 3 1/2 years.  That is the beginning of the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, known as "The Great Tribulation"!

This gospel of the kingdom mentioned here shall be preached for 3 1/2 years, allowing people to receive the Lord as their savior, but will come to an end at the beginning of the Great Tribulation.  And then when it is over, those who have not taken the "mark of the beast", who were unbelievers, must immediately accept Yahshua as the Messiah, before he returns in the same day.

This angel is the beginning of the judgment as it proclaims, but it is his judgment on Christians as we shall see in the upcoming seals and angels.  Remember, God says his judgment FIRST begins at the household of God!

The 2nd Angel in Revelations 14 belongs with the 2nd Seal or more precisely, at the end of the 2nd Seal before the 3rd Seal begins.

In the 2nd Angel we see Babylon is fallen, is fallen.  Babylon, Iraq, the 1st Babylon fell to the United States, earlier as we saw.  Now, Babylon the United States, the 2nd Babylon has fallen.  Hence two falls of Babylon.  Babylon is fallen, is fallen.  The Lord is precise in his words and he doesn't stutter.  It is neither a coincidence that this happens in the second angel.  Second or TWO!!  This happening is also the SECOND THUNDER mentioned in Daniel.  These are no coincidences either.  And you thought Bible codes were not real!

As Daniel shows us, at this time only four kingdoms are left, of which the fourth kingdom is the final kingdom on the earth, before Yahshua returns to set up his Kingdom!

    " And as I was considering, behold, a he goat ( United States ) came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes." Dan.8:5

I strongly believe this he goat, that comes from the west is the United States.  And it touched not the ground, emphasizes the fact that the troops or military might of this he goat, does not cross over land, but exactly as the US does, it's military might comes from the air and the seas.  Our great ships and air force, brings our troops to the engagement area.  History does indeed attest to this fact. And this notable horn is the President of the US representing his kingdom.

    "And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

    And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand."  Dan.8:6,7

This ram with two horns, is Persia, which consists  of Iraq and Iran.  And it has two leaders.  The ram had no help, and was crushed.  I strongly believe this is the next war, waiting in the wings, as President Bush stated in his " State of the Union Address " , Tuesday Jan.29, 2002.

I believe World War III began, with the "War on Terrorism", which this war above is included.  It is designed to bring the world, into wanting a peaceful solution to war, which only the UN can provide in their estimation.  What happens next is that straw that breaks their "mental backs" to accept the UN as the only way to achieve peace.

    "Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

    And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."  Dan.8:8,9

This he goat (US) was strong after he defeated Persia, but then his horn was broken.  His kingdom was broken.  It doesn't say how his kingdom was broken, but that it was.  I believe Jeremiah and Ezekiel hold the key to how and who, but nevertheless, the kingdom of this notable he goat was broken.  Then four stood up out of it, of which one was the little horn, the antichrist. Let's read on in these verses in Daniel.  Remember the four kingdoms that would arise when the he goat's kingdom was broken came toward the four winds of heaven.  We find in Dan.7, these four kingdoms.

    " Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and , behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

    And four beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another." Dan.7:2,3

The sea is peoples, tongues and nations of the earth. (Rev.17:15 and Rev.13:1,2).  Rev.13:1,2, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

    And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the  mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." Rev.13:1

We will now see where we will pick up where we left off in Daniel, that these same four animals are listed.  These are the kingdoms that are left when the greatest superpower known, the US, is broken, meaning goes under the control of the UN, which is precisely the plan of the elite, Illuminati within our government.

    " The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth...." 

This lion is Great Britain, and the eagle's wings were the United States which was plucked up, the he goat that was broken when it was strong after it broke the two horns of Iran and Iraq.

     " And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it...."

This bear, I believe is Russia, and one of the ribs in it's mouth represents the United States whom it conquered.

    " After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."  

This leopard, I believe is a Far Eastern Alliance of China, Japan, Korea, and India or Indonesia.

It is not a far cry, to believe that Great Britain, Russia, and the China Alliance, the other three great superpowers today, are these three beasts or kingdoms who are of the final four kingdoms ruling the earth after the demise of the great Superpower, the United States.  Is it?

But what about the fourth kingdom?        

    " After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns." Dan.7:7

    " Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

    And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land." Dan.8:8,9

This fourth kingdom is the United Nations, in my opinion.  When the US falls, Russia, China, Great Britain and the United Nations are the final four kingdoms to rule.  The little horn is none other than the antichrist, who will rule this United Nations and he goes toward the pleasant land, which is Israel. And the ten horns are the ten regions the United Nations divided the world into, which are kings over them, just as Rev.17:12 explains.

    " And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." Rev.17:12

    "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

    And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise; and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." Dan.7:23,24

    " I considered the horns, and , behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Dan.7:8

This fourth kingdom whose little horn, the antichrist (the son of perdition) had another little horn who came up and subdued the three other kings mentioned with the four last kingdoms.  This is Satan, the father of the "son of perdition" who was the antichrist.

Here we have the saga of the United States, and the four kingdoms which come up after it's being plucked up. 

The ten horns of the final beast kingdom were already around, but not in the public eye.  The United Nations divided the world into ten regions a long time ago.

NAFTA (North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement) is part of this bringing Canada, the US and Mexico into one free trade region, known as region #1 of the ten regions.

 " And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." Rev.17:12

They haven't received a kingdom to be kings over yet, but they receive power one hour (7 years) with the beast.

The beast kingdom of the United Nations is already here, but is not ruling as yet.  It begins to rule in the 1st Seal, but the United States supersedes it's authority, until it's people are begun to be brought under subjection in this, the 2nd Angel.

Remember, the fourth kingdom doesn't reach it's zenith, until the beginning of the Great Tribulation approximately 3 years from this point, when Satan is kicked out of heaven in Rev. 12.  This king of dark countenance, Satan/ the father of, the "son of perdition"/the antichrist stands up at that time, not now.   He subdues the other three kingdoms mentioned above, and only the one world government of the beast remains for 3 1/2 years.

The American people and the country they love and adore above the Creator, Elohim, have already began to come under the control of the UN. and it will increase and increase and increase because they have turned from Yahwah.  They have become "the whore"!!!

It begins with the first seal, and continues for 7 years, until it is finally utterly burned with fire.

" And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."  Rev.17:16

"How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in he heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her." Rev. 18:7-8

In one hour, her judgment has come, but is not complete for seven years.

America has played the harlot, it has worshipped money over Yahwah, it's churches are apostate and the rich heap up treasures for the last days.

Destruction is coming to America and it is coming soon.  The rights of its citizens have been drastically done away with, and the "mark of the beast" comes soon.

                     The 3rd Angel in Rev.14

We saw in the 3rd Seal, which precedes this angel, the last 2300 days begin, with the daily sacrifice taken away and the Antichrist "beast" bring his armies into Israel.  It is only natural that "the mark of the beast" is instituted.

We see here in this angel which follows the 3rd Seal, the Mark of The Beast that will be implemented, and the statue of the beast (United Nations rider on the white horse) will be worshipped.

Those who believe in Yahshua, and keep their faith, and keep his commandments will be protected from the beast.  Others will not.  It behooves you to know what these commandments are, so you can keep them.

Those who have prepared themselves, to spiritually come out of "Babylon" will have already come out of Babylon, and gone to the places of safety, and will not have to take the mark of the beast to buy and sell, because Yahwah, will provided for them, as they have faith in his word, that says he will.

Many at this time will take the "mark of the beast" to buy and sell and save their lives.

Many Christians, who truly believe, but have not the faith in his word, nor prepared themselves by allowing Christ to be formed in them, will be martyred beginning at this time.  Not that many will have not already been martyred already, but wholesale killing fields will now begin. 

                                    This also belongs to the 3rd Angel.

Just like the twelve spies sent out to spy out the land of Caanan, ten did not believe what the Lord had promised them.  Only two did!!  Like in the Two Witnesses?  Joshua and Caleb.  They were from the tribes of Ephraim and Judah.  In the Great Tribulation a remnant of these tribes will again give a good report.  They will be the two witnesses.  They are not included in the people destroyed in this seal or angel.  The two sticks that Yahweh is gathering together in the last days.

This seal and angel is the most difficult to come to grips with.  Many of those who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture will be devastated when they find themselves right in the midst of such horror and decisions.

This is no time to put your trust in a false pre-trib rapture, but to put your trust and faith in his Word and keep his commandments, including the fourth.

When the Lord says he will return for a bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish (SIN), HE means it.  If you don't believe you can stop sinning through the power of the Holy Spirit, then you have already lost the battle.  You may win the war, and wind up in heaven, to return with the Lord, but he won't return for you.
