WHAT AND WHEN IS THE BIBLE’S WAR OF ARMAGEDDON By Gary Colin
God and Jesus speak to humankind through symbols and parables (Matthew 13:10-13). It is God’s Holy Spirit and God’s Word/Jesus (the Bible) which explain the meaning behind such “mysteries” (John 1:1; Matthew 13:11; Revelation 10:5-7). The Holy Bible fully explains the truth about the War of Armageddon (John 17:17; John 4:24). We’ll do a verse by verse study of Revelation Chapter 16 using the Bible to explain these verses. Let’s begin:
Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. The Great Voice heard is the Trumpet Like Voice of God which will sound at the End of our Age. God/Jesus will send His Angels to earth (represented by these “seven angels”) and these Angels will collect humans from earth Regenerating (Matthew 19:28) these humans into Angelic Beings (Matthew 24:30-34; 1 Corinthians 15:47-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image. Whenever the Bible uses the words “cast”, “pour” (or similar words) It is referring to God (Who is the First and the Last) coming to Earth as a man (Matthew 24:3; John 14:28). The Bible describes this coming of God and His Angelic Armies to earth as “falling (fell)” (Revelation 6:1-17; Revelation 9:1-20). Satan is cast to Earth in Revelation 12:1-16. Moses and Aaron cast their Rod before Pharaoh and the rod became a serpent (Exodus 7:9-10). When God Comes Again to Earth as a Man, He will do the Judging Work of Satan the Serpent-Beast Devil (who is Leviathan the Lion/Leo-Psalm 104:20-27; Revelation 13:1-15; Revelation 17:1-16). Jesus identified Himself as this Serpent at John 3:1-16. Job Chapters 1 and 2 also show God “sending” Satan to “judge” Job. The Image of this Judging Beast are humans who will be made into God’s image during Regeneration (Genesis 1:26-27; Matthew 19:28).
Rev 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul died in the sea. The Bible’s sea is also the deep is also the bottomless pit, grave, sepulchre, sheol, tomb, nether, space and many other words denoting extreme darkness or thick (black, dark) gloom (Psalm 104:20-27; Genesis 1:1-5; Revelation 17:1016; Exodus 19:1-17). In the Beginning was just immense (which some call triple) darkness. This darkness was feminine. She was the “night” or the “evening” (Eve). She came first, which is why the ancient 24 hour “day” began with the night and ended with the day. This Evening Darkness had a Son in Her bosom (John 1:1-5). The Son broke fought out of the womb of this Darkness and Light/Sun (Atom-Adam) appeared. This Sun of Righteousness (Son-Malachi 4:1-8) began to create all things (Proverbs 8:20-34; Revelation 3:14; Colossians Chapters 1 and 3). The “Sons of God” or the “gods” were believed to be created by the actual sweat, tears and blood of this physical God. Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane alludes to this fact. When God returns to earth as a Man. He will again die as Jesus died on the Cross. His death will lead humans into the Bottomless Pit of Death as Moses and Pharaoh led their armies into the Red (or Blood) Sea (Exodus Chapter 14). It is in this Sea of Leviathan (Psalm 104:20-27) that these humans will be Regenerated into Angelic Sons of God (Psalm 104:1-5).
Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. Three is the number of God. The word “poured” denotes God being “cast” to earth as the Serpent (John 3:1-10) to End that Age. The fountains of water are humans which are Regenerated into the Blood or the Sons of God. Jesus making water into wine is actually referring to this “day” when humans are made into Angelic Sons of God (John Chapter 2; Matthew Chapter 22; Matthew 19:28).
Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. The God of the Bible is constantly reinventing Himself (Herself). Death, Rebirth, and Reincarnation are all ways that God Exists as the I AM (Exodus 3:1-16).
Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. Whenever the Bible uses the words: “they”, “them”, “we”, “us”, and “all, it is referring to the Angelic Sons of God. These are the “gods”. They are also the Kings and Priests of God and are God’s wife. God was talking to these “elohims (beings which fell from the sky)” when He said, “Let Us make man in Our Image” (Revelation 13:1-16).
Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments. The Bible “altar” refers to God who is a Devouring and Consuming Fire (Deuteronomy 4:24). This God actually is the Son Who is Light. The Beginning was Deep Immense Feminine Darkness (Genesis 1:1-10; John 1:1-5) which the Son “birthed” out of. This Son was the Fiery Light or the Sun of Righteousness (Malachi 4:1-8). This Son became the Father when He began creating all other things. The Bible references this event when Mary came to the “tomb” of Jesus while it was still dark (night, Evening). When Mary saw the resurrected (lighted) Jesus, she tried to hold onto Him. Jesus told Mary (Mother Darkness) to “let me go, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Again, there was Darkness who was Mary (Mariam) or Black Madonna. Then the Son “birthed” through as Light. And the Son became the Father when He began to create all other things (John 1:1-10).
Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. This Scorching with Fire is the Regeneration. Humans will become One with God as the Sons and Daughters of God (John 10:30-34; John 17:17-21). Pharaoh Akhenaten of Egypt is the Biblical Moses. This is why the Bible makes so meaning references to Egypt, the Sun, the Law of Moses, and the Eastern Star (the Sun). Pharaoh Akhenaten who is the Son/Sun of God must be porched back onto planet Earth so that He can Regenerate humans into Angels (His feet which are His Priests) by a Fiery (Sun like) Process. Baal, Osiris, Horus, Jesus, and Akhenaten are all Sun and Moon Gods who die and are resurrected. Anpu is the Fox, Wolf, Dog God Beast of the Bottomless Pit (Nether-underworld-world of the dead) which the Bible regularly references.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. In Genesis 6:1-10 it tells us that God “repented” that He made man. The Bible is using a play on worlds. The word “repented” is actually talking about the Regeneration. At the End of an Age, God “Comes Again” to planet Earth to End that Age and Regenerate/Repent/Change humans (man) into Angelic Spirits (Psalm 104:1-5; 1 Corinthians 15:47-54).
Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain- Five is the Biblical number for division or parting. During the Regeneration, God will remove, take away spirit from flesh. Genesis Chapter 6 calls this the “taking of wives” for themselves. This is referring to the Marriage of the Lamb. This Marriage is God Regenerating Humans into Sons of God or the gods. If you remember, Pontius Pilate sat on the seat of Judgment while Jesus was crucified. The “seat of the Beast” speaks of the time when Leviathan-who is Pharaoh Akhenaten-Moses (who wrote Psalm 104 about Leviathan) will come to earth to end that age. The Full Darkness is the return of the human creature back to the bottomless pit of darkness. This is why it became totally dark as Jesus died on the Cross.
Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. John Chapter 10 helps us realize that Blashemy is when God makes humans into his image or when these “sons” and “daughters” become One with God (John 10:30-34; John 17:17-21).
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. The Bible number Six is the number of Preparation. It is Satan, the Beast and Saviors like Noah (and Akhenaten-Moses) who are associated with the number six. The Fiery Regeneration Prepares humans to become One with God (Revelation 13:13-18; Genesis 6:1-20). Euphrates is actually that Bottomless Pit or that Immense Darkness which is Feminine God. She is Black Khali (and Madonna) who will Come at the End of an Age (the “Evening” or “Night”-just as Mary came to Jesus’ Tomb in Darkness). This Black Feminine God will Regenerate Watery Humans into “Dry Land”. This Dry Land is God’s Earth which is Spirit (Genesis 1:10-14; Exodus 1-34). The Way is of Course Jesus Who comes with His Angelic Army Sons of God during the Regeneration (Matthew 24:30-34; John 14:6-7).
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. The first six chapters of Mark talk about these unclean spirits. Revelation Chapter 18 also talks about these unclean spirits. Three is the number of God’s Presence. These unclean spirits are humans before they are Regenerated. Pharaoh’s priest were able to duplicate (or clone) God’s frog creation. So these frogs are also human images of God as God is the Beast (Revelation 13:1-16). These human (unclean spirit frogs) become the mouth or word of the Beast God. In other words, they become Sons and Daughters of God, as the Word Jesus is. The Egyptians also had an “out of mouth” ceremony where the spirit of a leader was blown out the mouth of the priest into a human who would become posessed by the spirit. Regeneration is humans becoming full of (or possessed with) God’s Spirit.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. We’ve already learned that serpents and devils are actually God coming with His angels to Regenerate humans on Earth (John 3:1-16; Job 1:1-10). God’s angelic army are the “workers of inquity”, “workers of lawlessness”. Their job is to help gather and Regenerate humans into God Oneness (Matthew 24:30-44). The Bible number four (fourth, one hundred forty four) identify these Angelic Sons of God. The Bible uses the word “whole” to denote God Oneness which is what the Regeneration will produce (John 17:17-21; John 10:30-34). “Great” is a Bible word which describes the Sons of God. God’s Day is the time period where God comes to Earth as a man to End that Age. So the Battle of Armageddon is not necessarily and actual war battle. The Battle Of Armageddon is God coming to Earth as a man to Regenerate humans into God Oneness (Matthew 19:28).
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. The Bible word “watcheth” describes the watchers and keepers. These are highly advance beings (angels) whom God assigns to watch over and direct the history of humans. This thief will steal the spirits from humans during Regeneration. Regeneration will burn, consume, and destroy human flesh during regeneration (Revelation 17:16). The Nakedness that the Bible refers to is the Spirit who will live after Fiery Regeneration (John 4:24; Revelation 17:16). Notice how the Bible uses the word “see” which is really referring to the Sea of the Bottomless Pit (Acts 8:36 ). When a person gets “baptized” in a body of water, that person is symbolically demonstrating the Regeneration which occurs when “dead” humans enter the black darkness of God (the Sea) and are Regenerated into the Light of the Sun (Christ). This black darkness is the Feminine God which is why the Bible calls Her the Ethiopian Candace (Acts 8:27). Notice that Babylon the Great (the Female Diety) is also left Naked (Spirit-Revelation 17:10-16)
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Yes there are Angels waiting in the “sea” to gather humans like lions and eat and feast upon them as sport. These Angels are the “ships” of God (Psalm 104:20-27; Revelation 19:11-19; Matthew 24:30-34). Armageddon actually describes the Regeneration which will take place with in the Darkness of God. This Darkness is the Bottomless Pit and is symolized by Moses and Pharaoh “descending” into the Red Sea. This Bottomless Pit is the Lake and Fire as God is Fire (Deuteronomy 4:24).
Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. I, by my God trained instincts was looking for the word “one” or things that denote “oneness (or wholeness)” in this verse. The number seven represents God’s Seventh Day Sabbath. God “rests” on the seventh day because He “dies” during the End of the Age. He refreshes Himself on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:17) as He is Reborn (Born Again) as the Son (John 3:1-16). God’s ReBirth is the Regeneration (Titus 3:1-5; Matthew 19:28). The words “throne” and “done” both have the word “one” in them. At the end of the Age, all person’s Regenerated will be Kings and Priests on God’s throne-Revelation 1:1-10; Exodus 19:1-20; Revelation 20:1-10
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great. When Jesus died on the Cross, the Great Earthquake opened up the “door” (way) for the dead to invade planet Earth. The temple veil was also “rent”. That’s why this verse 18 uses the phrase “were upon the earth”. When the modern day Moses (Pharaoh Akhenaten) dies, the Way for those in the Underworld to “walk” amongst humans on planet earth. Humans will also be Regenerated in Nether at that time. Nether is the Hinder parts because everything is returned back to the black darkness from whence it came (Exodus 19:1-25).
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Three is God’s Presence on Earth. The Bible word “divide” describes the taking of the spirit from mans burned and regenerated flesh. The Bible word “fell” refers to that Great Sun Star-Akhenaten “falling” to Earth at the End of the Age (Matthew 24:20-44; Revelation 9:1-20; Revelation 6:1-13).
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. The Bible might be directional, but God is not directional. The Bible Mountains usually symbolize the Netherland (Exodus 19:1-25). Humans will be “taken” to the Mountainous Nether to be Regenerated into Angles who will be One with God (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). This is what is meant by “flee to the Mountains” (Matthew 24:15-22).
Rev 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. The Great Hail that falls from Heaven among humans on Earth is very similar to the Fire and Hail that fell upon Pharaoh during the ten plagues. God will Come with His Angels at the End of our Age to Regenerate humans into God Oneness. When humans (man) becomes God, this is Blasphemy (John 10:30-34). The Bible makes reference to weight or balance because this Weight “falling to Earth” will be the God Baal (Revelation 6:6-13; Revelation 2: Baalim, Balak, Jesus is Baalzebub, Belzebub). Baal is the fig tree we are to watch for (Luke Chapter 21:29-32). Baal is the tree of the Bible. Baal is the stump of the Bible (Nebuchadnezzar). Baal is the grove and the olive tree. Our Christmas trees honor Baal and Tammuz. Baal is the Grove. Baal is the Sun and Moon God.
Baal is the Cloud Rider. Ashtoreth is the feminine side of God Baal. Tammuz, Baal, Akhenaten, Anpu, Osiris, Horus and many others all denote God coming to Earth to rule among humans. Our generation is the one which witnessed Baal-Osiris-Horus-Herod the Dictator of Relativity-Anpu (the fig tree) return to earth. It will be our generation which sees the End (Luke 21:29-32). When we allow the Holy Bible to interpet Its own Words, we learn that Armageddon is not something that world powers will bring about. Armageddon will occur at the death of the modern day Moses-Pharaoh and human’s entrance into the gate/door way of the Underworld (Nether)-(Isaiah 29:6; Matthew 28:2; Acts 16:26; Revelation 6:12; Revelation 11:19; Matthew 27:50-53).
