I have been a student of Revelation for many years. Different concepts have entered my mind, but they did not function together properly.  

But one day the Holy Spirit started opening the concepts to me. It had to be him as I am not that intelligent. And in this revealing, I became concerned for my brothers and sister in Christ. It was the clarity of Faith and Deeds. The lack of truth will cause christians to not be Raptured.  

Therefore, they will go through the Great Tribulation. Once saved always saved is true----but people assume that eliminates chastisement from God. However, God says those He loves He will chastise. 

Therefore, I am concerned how many brothers and sisters will not have the treasure of the Rapture and be left behind. 

We are saved from this wrath of God by His Love for us Christians revealed in the Rapture. However, there are requirements to meet the correct conditions to be Raptured. 

See my definitions of Christians, christions, and ½ christians. 

Note 

In the back of this book is a review of Volume I and the glossary of words I use in this book as regular dictionaries do not address the deeper spiritual meanings of words. Also, traditions have fogged up the meanings. Example: Hell is not the final destination, it is the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14–15) Therefore, where is Hell located and for what purpose? This is characteristic of God’s covert ways. 

This word Hell has been missed use since time began. It is the product of traditions and has been hidden by God until Revelation was written. This tradition has been repeated so many times that it has the power of law. To grasp the meaning of this word we must solve the Biblical clues leading to its location and function of Hell. And the parables house some of these clues. See Resource graft.  

1.Jonah in the belly of the big fish for three days and night.? 

2.Jesus and the thief on the cross? 

3.What did Jesus say to the thief? Today we will be in paradise. 

4.Where is the location for his preaching? Heart of the earth. 

5.Where are the Old Testament Saints at rest? Heart of the earth. 

6.Where are the Tribulation Saints at rest? The Alter in Heaven. 

7.Who are the Saints? O.T., Church, and Tribulation.  

8.What is the harvest and how many harvests are there? 

As you can see there has been little taught about these subject. The gospel has been the main subject taught to win souls to Jesus, and rightfully so. But once saved, deeper information should be taught. 

Hebrews 5:12–13 (12) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (13) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 

Why are our Sunday Schools so filled with milk? Why are the lessons not measured by knowledge and not by age. A new convert needs milk and not meat. But as they grow they need an increase in deeper spiritual knowledge. There is, too, much knowledge for the pastor lifetime to cover everything. And this is where educated Christians must participate.  

Science teachers are needed to teach the practical applications of the creation opposing the theory of the Big Bang and Darwin theory of evolution. We Christians are to be armed with Creationism to contradict the unbelieving scientist.  

God’s words have all the knowledge we need. It is a very in-depth book of practical and spiritual knowledge and written in such a way that is hidden to the unbeliever. It will take study and prayer requesting God to reveal the truth. 

Israel has been blinded by God. But their blinders will be removed shortly. Then what? If you do not know the book of Revelation, you will not know how much you do not know both practically and spiritually. And how much truth you have missed. 

Introduction 

This book is the continuation of my previous book, Valley of Decision Volume 1. Which is intended to prepare you, the reader, for the most meaning full book in the Bible. It pulls together both the Old Testament and New Testament divisions in the Bible. So much so, that denominations believe that the Old Testament is unnecessary. Also, the Hebrews (Jews) do not accept the New Testament as not from Jehovah. Both are sadly mistaken. And knowledge has been corrupted because of these doctrines. But God knew this would happen, however, he has made plans for this event when He sent Paul to the gentiles.  

Every day has brought Jesus’ return closer, and we will have signs for Christians to look for. And it will come soon. This I tried to establish in Volume One. To get the full meaning of Revelation you need to have read Volume One Valley of Decision Volume One, first. 

Preamble 

V alley of Decision Volume One Summary. In the back of this book is a brief review for you and for those who have not read Volume One. It will give you a short view of the first 12 Chapters of Revelation. But missing these 12 chapters, you will miss many thoughts necessary to cover God’s concepts, not repeated, in Valley of Decision Volume Two. Without these explanations, you may not understand the significance of the scriptures in Volume 2.  

I also have a dictionary for words the average dictionary does not explain the deeper spiritual meanings. For those who have read Volume One I have placed a compact review also at the end of this book. Just in case it has been sometime between reads!  

Just as in volume one, I request you to assess my spirit as required in 1st John 4:1. To evaluate, you must do your homework and to aid you in your evaluation, I have revealed the Scripture supporting my interpretation. 

Remember, no one on earth knows all the knowledge that is found in the Bible. But as time moves forward more truths will be revealed by God to his children by his children. Mat.10:26 and Amo.3:7  

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Here we read the procedure God will perform to reveal His secrets before they happen. This is what occurs in the Book of Revelation. Now we must try to find his secrets hidden in the Bible and especially Revelation.  

I want you to think of Revelation as a love letter from God. Jesus is our Kinsman Redeemer is coming back to retake our home, earth, back from Satan and his evil cohorts. Christians will be removed from Revelation’s punishments. We will be observers! God has us in protective custody in His Home. God is sharing with us, His wife, HIS HOME. We will have the mind of Christ knowing all that is to happen is just punishment for evil and the Last Chance for salvation for the disobedient and Jews. 

Revelation 13 

The Sea Beast And The Earth 

Overview of a vile duet and their audience 

God gives us a pause in revealing God’s wrath, to make known the two evil Beasts (individuals and/or governments) that will transcend the Seven Years of the Great Tribulation. 

Revelation 13:1 "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 horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."  

Verse 1 If we research into what the sea represents (Rev.4:6 / Rev.7:9, 13–14 / Rev. 17:15), we can see that water represents peoples, tongues, and nations. John is standing by the sea and sees this Beast arrive out of the Sea (nations, tongues, and people). God is telling us that this Beast will come up out of the earth’s population. This Beast has seven heads with a single blasphemous name, ten horns, with ten crowns. Let us look at this imagery. 

One item to consider is single blasphemous name. And as you know blaspheming against the Holy Ghost is the only unforgiving sin. 

The Head is the one part of the body that houses the brain and has all the sensations of: smell, feel, touch, hearing, seeing, and taste. If we consider all that the head performs, we might get some indication of why God is using the head as his teaching tool. 

It houses the brain, which controls all the functions of the body such as (1) motor skills, (2) Autonomic (breathing, heart rate, and such), (3) nerve responses, and so many others. It also houses the thinking function and memories. In one sense, we can say the head is the depository for reason and logical thinking and the storage of their results. It is the Command Center for muscle control. 

The head will control all the functions of the body just as these heads will control all administrative tasks of their people. 

However, remember garbage in equals garbage out. These seven heads are the logic affecting the ruling class. Some are Monarchy, Some Communism, some Democracies, some military dictatorship, and other types of government doctrines. 

These heads seem to have a single name printed on their forehead. They are a part of a consortium of countries under one name. Therefore, this singular Beast (Antichrist #1) will have seven different forms of government ideologies under one blasphemous name. However, you will notice that the seven heads have ten horns with ten crowns. Therefore, two or three leaders have more than one country (horn) with the same form of government. 

These heads mentioned here are the thinkers of the different ideologies of different forms of government. Examples: Carl Marks and Linen were the brains behind Communism, and Hitler was the brain behind Nazism, and some Greek thinkers started Democracy in 500 BC in Greece. The heads mentioned here are alive in this time of history, so these forms of government may have changed little from what we know today, like Nazism and Fascism during the 20th Century. But both these were similar but different and used by two different heads/horns (Hitler and Mussolini). 

A critical statement not to miss is the last of verse 1, which states, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. This name confirms it is the latest and most evil Beast to enter this earth and performs the only unforgivable sin, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Mar.3:29). Therefore, it is the Evil Empire of Antichrist #1 and later Antichrist #2. 

The horn is that part of an animal’s head used for defending itself, attracting a mate, or attacking. It can also be considered the military tool of that animal. Here we read that these seven heads have ten horns so that some heads (leaders) can have more than one horn. 

We can see this in our own America. We have one Head, the Federal Government in Washington, with many horns Congress, Senate, Executive, and Legal. All are under one human-derived covenant, The Constitution of the United States. We also have states with ahead, which is called the Governor. However, these horns are under the control of the Beast (Antichrist #1 and later Antichrist #2). 

Crowns are the symbol for kings, presidents, or primary rulers. Therefore, this beast must have ten countries’ rulers under his control and leadership. Some scholars think this is a reference to the European Common Market. Because of Daniel’s Statue in Dan. 2 points to the Roman Empire, which conquered many countries, and the New Revived Roman Empire will include most of those same countries. 

Revelation 13:2 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. 

In verse 2, John is unable to clarify what is this Beast. So, John is trying to characterize the attributes of this Beast. And John uses animals with similar characteristics to explain this beast. Much like Daniel has done in the past scriptures (Dan.7). 

The mouth of a lion. The Lions we all know is known as the King of Beast. He appears regal in his movements; have others do the work for him [lioness]; is feared above all animals in the wild; strong enough to bring down an elephant but intelligent enough to avoid the same; hunts in packs to mention only a few. 

Here the Beast has the mouth of a lion. The lion’s mouth not only eats but also makes sounds. The jaws of a lion are mighty when eating, even breaking bones of its prey. The one outstanding thing about the lion’s mouth is the lower jaw is the only way to tell the species of that lion. When a lion growls in the wild, you listen. 

The feet of a bear are enormous and enormously powerful, claws that one swipe of a bear paw will do significant and grave damage to its prey. They are so powerful that they can rip the bark off trees and grab large logs to move them; their pads are callous and sharp enough to catch and hold a slimy fish. 

The leopard is a loner, an opportunist in hunting, adaptability in any environment, amazingly fast, can climb trees, and is well known for its stealth. The Leopard has melanosis meaning their fur can be assorted colors, including black (Black Panther). One attribute of all three of these animals is that they are smart. And they are very adapted to catching their prey. 

These characteristics above are outstanding characteristics of Antichrist #1. He will be an opportunist in all situations to improve his position. He will be adaptable in all conditions which will arise in his endeavor to conquer the world. He will come on the world scene very rapidly and come into mighty power; his climb to power will be fast and surprising to the people of the world.  

Antichrist #1 will be so stealthy that he will fool all non-believers of this world that he is someone other than who he is. Antichrist #1 will bring good times to none-believers in a struggling world during the first half of the Tribulation period. He will appear like a wonderful benevolent person with the best intentions for humanity. He will profess to be a religious person of a substantial established denomination or belief. His most predominant characteristic is a man of lies and deception. 

We would do well to watch the United Nations, as it will become more and more the puppet of World Domination, a vital tool of the Antichrist #1. We see the attempt of the United Nations to impose their desires on other nations.  

One such effort is controlling guns, if not the complete ban on all firearms from all countries except the military. Self-protection would be a thing of the past and dependent on the government to protect us from criminals.  

The Governments of this planet’s history have been horrible on this subject. And were the agency of evil. 

Governments have relieved people of their firearms, and the people have become unable to control an evil dictator. Our right to bear arms stems from the days of our Revolution. There the people had firearms to protect themselves and fight an unjust government. Our founding fathers wanted us to have the same ability to challenge our own government if it turns evil. 

If we go to Dan. 7, we read of a vision Daniel had of four powerful beasts, a Lion, a Bear, a Leopard, and the last Beast was not a recognizable animal. But it had ten heads and ten horns. Daniel’s vision was of four empires that would enter the world scene in the future. 

First is the Empire of Babylon; it conquered like a Lion. The second Empire was a Bear, later recognized as the Media / Persian Empire, which was powerful. The third is Alexander the Great’s Empire, speed in conquering, a Master of Military strategy. The fourth unrecognizable beast is the last, the revived Roman Empire. But mentioned here is the first Roman Empire and the revived Roman Empire of the Antichrist #1 and then #2.  

All these empires (except Babylonian) were future to Daniels’s time, but to us, they are history and provable empires except for the Revived Roman Empire. Notice this last beast has ten horns, just as
