Paul D Rusnak

About 30 years ago the author had a vision. It is recorded in the last chapter of this book. After this vision he started receiving revelation. It is also a product of much prayer and meditation I have not written a book to just write a book. It is a message to the Church. May God’ bless those who read it. May He also give the them Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Eph. 1:17) A prophesy - Those who come after me shall be grater. I don’t know what it means but time will tell.

Revelation of God’s Word

By Paul D. Rusnak

This book is the result of many hours of Bible study over the last fifty years. It is actually the second book I have had published and several of the studies that were in it is also in this one. They have been updated with new revelation.

In his letter to the Ephesians Paul said he prayed for God to give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Over the years I have prayed diligently for this spirit and believe God in a small way has given it to me. The revelation in this book is far beyond what I am capable of by my-self.

Ephesians 1:17-18

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Like the first book, this one was written in the hope that those who read it will gain spiritual insights into the ways of the Lord and thereby be helped and encouraged. It doesn’t contain all the answers, of course, for the questions are endless–but it does provide glimpses of truth from the Word of God. It is my belief, and prayer, that if those who read this book will build on the revelations and truths it contains, they will experience the marvelous life-changing power of God’s Word.

CHAPTER 1

The Beast and Ten Kings

Israel becoming a nation again was not the only prophesy fulfilled in the twentieth century. There was much more. It started on July 28, 1914 when World War I began and concluded with the reunification of Germany in 1989. Since Germany has reunited, the stage is set for the rise of the beast and the false prophet of the end time.

In the thirteenth chapter of Revelation it is recorded that John saw a vision of a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns. One of its heads was wounded as it was to the death; and his deadly wound was healed Revelation 13:1-3. This beast was given its power by the dragon. Revelation chapter 12 explains who or what the dragon was in John’s vision. If we read chapter 12 we can clearly see the dragon is symbolic of Satan. So when it is said that the dragon was worshiped, it is speaking of the Devil. Revelation 20:2 also clearly states that the dragon is figurative of Satan. The word translated worship in these verses also means to pay homage to; So those who worship the dragon and the beast do not necessarily have to fall down before them; just acknowledge their allegiance to them. Also, the Greek word translated kings in these verses means a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively). So it doesn’t necessarily have to mean a single person, but can also mean a government or ruling power.

The Angel told John in Revelation chapter 17 that the seven heads represented seven kings. Five of them had fallen, one (is) and the other was yet to come. The one that he said is was the Roman Empire. It is widely believed that the five that had fallen were Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. The one that was to come would be the seventh. This seventh one would have its head wounded as unto death with the sword and be healed. The sword is symbolic of war. (Rev. 13:3 and Rev. 13:11-12).

In 1914 World War I started and concluded in 1918 by both sides signing an Armistice. An Armistice is an agreement by two warring parties to quit fighting. Germany was not defeated by a death blow, it was just wounded like prophesied. Germany was badly wounded in the first World War but within a few years its deadly wound was healed and it started the bloodiest and most destructive war in history. (History tells us World War II was actually a continuation of World War I) The Angel said that this beast and ten kings would make war with the Lamb and the Lamb would overcome them (Rev. 17:12-14). Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews and fought against everything that stood for the living God. This was not just a war between countries, it was also a war against God, which should not be a surprise since the Beast was given its power by Satan.

As prophesied in Revelation there were ten kings allied with the beast for an hour, meaning it would be a short time (Rev.17:12). This alliance was not a revival of the Roman Empire like many believe but Italy was one of the members of the alliance with the beast. These are listed below.

The ten kings that were allies with the seventh head (Germany) whose deadly wound was healed.

The Tripartite Pact, also called the Three-Power Pact, Axis Pact, Three Way Pact or Tripartite was a pact signed in Berlin, Germany on September, 27, 1940, which established the Axis Powers of World War II. The pact was signed by representatives of,

Germany, Italy and Japan.

Hungary joined the Pact on November 20, 1940

Romania joined November 23, 1940

Slovakia joined November 24, 1940

Bulgaria, March 1, 1941

Kingdom of Yugoslavia, March 25, 1941

Croatia, joined June 15, 1941

Finland never signed the Pact but started co-operating in military operations with Germany in late 1940.

Thailand never formally signed the Tripartite Pact, but after the military invasion of the country in 1941, which concluded in an immediate cease-fire by the Thai army, Thailand signed a military alliance with Japan. This in turn linked Thailand to the Tripartite Pact. Thai forces later in us is the Holy Spirit–He is the anointing that we helped Japan in the invasion of Burma in 1942. They continued to govern themselves but allied with the Axis Powers, mainly Japan.

These were the major countries in the Tripartite Pact. There were several others but they were what is called puppet states. Those countries did not govern themselves but were led by installed puppet leaders from other major countries that had signed or supported the Tripartite Pact. Because they were governed by those countries, they are not counted separately. Some countries switched sides as the war progressed but these are the original ten kings spoken of in Revelation chapter 17, who received power with the beast one hour (a short time).

As a direct result of World War II and the suffering of the Jews it caused, after nearly two thousand years Israel once again became a nation in 1948, fulfilling more prophesy. Then in 1967 in a Six Day War, Israel gained full control of Jerusalem, fulfilling even more prophesy. From 1948 until 1967 Israel only had control of half of the city. Since 1967 Jerusalem is no longer trodden under the feet of Gentiles. That time has been fulfilled (Luke 21:24).

After World War II it seemed that The beast was dead. Germany was defeated and this time it was even divided. Then in 1989, a radical series of political changes occurred in the Eastern Bloc, associated with the liberalization of the Eastern Bloc’s authoritarian systems and the erosion of political power in the pro-Soviet governments in nearby Poland and Hungary. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on November 9, 1989 that all German Democratic Republic citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere.

Over the next few weeks, the public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of the rest. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification and the rise of the eighth beast that rose up out of the earth having two horns and is one of the seven (Rev 13:11 and Rev 17:11).

Rev 17:8-17

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

12 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.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 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
