The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

the-4-horsemen-of-the-apocalypse.jpg                                                                                                                                                              The book of Revelation is a book of mystery for those who are walking in the flesh. As children of our Heavenly Father we must walk continually in the light, Jesus Christ. Ephesians  chapter 6,indicates to us that we must remain guarded against Evil,we are under Spiritual Attack.    The Devil roams the Earth seeking whom he might devour,that includes you! You might think you are a walking Epistle, Do not let your guard down and Pray for all The Saints. Chapter 6 of Revelation begins our journey into the infamous Quartet of Evil. Bible Scholars  disagree very strongly specially about the First Horse & Rider.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sometimes the Deception is kind of vague and not explicit but as I studied deeper and deeper into this infamous duo,our Lord & Saviour kept bringing me back to one particular Scripture. There was a lot of praying and personal supplications from me to our Heavenly Father to know The Truth, because all leaders are extremely accountable to God. It is vital that we do not mislead anyone, we have to stay focused on The Word of God.We have to stay away from assumptions, presuppositions and opinions,and most importantly lies from The Enemy.We must stay on the righteous path at all times. ”And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals,and I heard,as it were the noise of thunder,one of the four beasts saying, Come and see”  Rev. 6:1                                                                   Elder Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Scroll sealed with Seven Seals

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

in_prayer.jpg ”Saying with a loud voice,Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power,and riches,and wisdom,and strength,and honour,and glory,and blessing.” Rev. 5:12 The Book of Seven Seals is actually a Scroll that only the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, can open. In order for us to understand it`s message, revealed in The Scroll,we must first Pray and rightly divide The Word. Jesus Christ revealed the  signs of coming events.(Mt.24;Mk.13; Lk.21) Some of the events Jesus described would happen in the first century;some would come on progressively during the Church Age and some would come at the time of the ultimate Antichrist 666. There are plenty of topics that must be studied in order to understand The Revelation of Jesus Christ.We must comprehend fully what the message signifies after it`s revealing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        You must come to God with clean hands,a pure heart,with a completely open mind,empty of false doctrines completely open to The Word….The topics include, Scriptures about Daniel 70th Week, First Resurrection(saved),The Second Coming, Millennium,Second Resurrection(wicked) Spiritual Jerusalem,and many others. We will read the Scriptures literally.We also must understand all the Symbolism & Metaphors,figurative languages,that must be interpreted. To God be The Glory !         Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

Worship in Heaven

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

praise.jpg                                                                                                                                                                     After these things, I looked,and there in Heaven a door was open. And the same voice that I heard before sounded like a trumpet. The voice spoke to me. “Come up here. I will show you what must happen after this”.  Rev.4:1   John saw a door that was opened, Jesus Christ is The Door.  The only way to Heaven for all Eternity,until The Gates of Mercy close and the final judgement begins. The Lord told John about the events on earth,but before that, He showed John the Heavenly realm. Remember John was shown these things,He was actually witnessing  a vision of the events as they actually happened.                                                                                                                                                                                       John was propelled to see  the chronology of literal and symbolic events.We must rightly divide The Word, we must not add or subtract from it. If you do, you will suffer extreme painful consequences.   The colors of the rainbow also represent a reminder to us that our Heavenly Father will not destroy this Earth again with water but a devastating burning fire. John could not describe all that was shown. Language has limitations, like everything else in this World.                                                                                                                                                                                   There are also certain sections of the Apocalypse / Revelation that were not revealed to us,for example, the Seven Thunders. Do not come to this study expecting all the answers, you will  receive The Truth ,the Word of God. Jesus Christ does not reveal the identities of the 24 Elders to John. We know that they are cleansed, they have white clothing and are sitting on their Thrones. They are in Powerful high ranking positions and are not on top of a white horse deceiving, acting like False Prophets,they are not Impostors. We cannot see The Holy Spirit but we know that He is present. He appeared as flames of fire on the day of Pentecost.  Acts. 2:3                                                                                                                                                                                   The Seven Lamps show His presence. Alleluia ! We should not view the Seven Spirits literally but symbolic of the Seven perfect views of The Holy Spirit. The person and work of The Holy Spirit is perfect. The sea of glass represent our transparency in front of our Heavenly Father. Are you ready for the End ?  ! Prepared for Judgement day ! The Four living Creatures represent the four characters of God. Just like the Angels of the four winds they control all four corners. East,North,South & West. One of them has the face of a strong lion, one like a powerful ox, The fast Eagle and the wise Image of a man. God created all things…..They give all honor to God….. The 24 Elders put down their crowns to give Praise & Worship to our Heavenly Father. With all the Angels, let us say  Amen…… Alleluia !                                                               Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Church of Laodicea

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

pierced_hand.jpg Rev.3:14-22  The Church of Laodicea was located 40 miles southeast from Philadelphia.This Church did not receive any praise from our Lord & Saviour. It was the richest city in the region. The city was famous for a sheep wool industry that was a powerful force in  the regional commerce.They had a strong banking system,medical and a beautiful landscape. They had a piping system to bring fresh water.In Wordly terms, Laodicia was the jewel of the area. Jesus Christ is faithful and true, He never changes. He warned Laodicea about their pride,they were so pleased because of their wealth. Satan was cast down from Heaven because of pride. Are you proud of your accomplishments ? Are you giving God all the Glory ? The opinion of the Church was incorrect.They had plenty of money but they were Spiritually dead. Are you Spiritually dead ? You need to repent and confess your sins, not  to man but to The Almighty. Jesus Christ is knocking on doors,receive Him,obey Him or He will speu thee out of His mouth. Let us love one another and fellowship,together to praise & worship our Creator.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   ” I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire ,that thou mayest be clothed,and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,that thou mayest see.” Rev. 3:18   People in Laodicea sold a famous eye ointment. Jesus Christ told them to put the ointment in their own eyes so that they could see. He also meant a Spiritual ointment. We must not judge other people but their works show who they really are. God will condemn them not us,we just point out their imperfections so that they can improve, God also judges our motives, be very careful. Make sure you start with yourself.  Glory to the Way, the Truth & The Life Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Spirit warn the Churches about their failures and guides them to the truth. ” He that hath an ear,let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches “  Rev. 3:22                                                              Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

There are different variations of this positions, they are hereby, presented in simple terms.             Elder Felix Mirabal:Ph.D.

The Church of Philadelphia

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

large-cross.jpgFaithfulness is the main theme surrounding The Church of Philadelphia. The Church was very small in comparison to the others. Jesus Christ promises them that the door to them will never be shut. Some Bible scholars believe this to mean that all true believers,will be saved from the coming Tribulation. To believe that this is even possible,let us consider how most of The Apostles were beheaded and how The true believers today are faithful  not just with their words,but also their actions, willing to die for the faith.The martyrs of Jesus Christ have been persecuted and tortured. Jesus Christ,  is our example, He was tortured. Let us rightly divide The Word of God, only by doing so can we arrive at the Truth and not be found naked without His word.Let us be prepared for The ultimate Antichrist 666. In other words Do Not Be Fooled ! Be Watchful,Be Prepared !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The same Bible scholars will not explain to you that we must be obedient to His Word to receive the promise. We are paid for with the Extreme Sacrifice on the Cross.”I know thy works,behold,I have set before thee an open door, (Jesus Christ) and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my WORD,and has not denied my name”.  Rev.3:8     The Church of Philadelphia was in a valley, on the main road from Sardis, going to the port near Smyrna. Jesus Christ has all the Power, He holds the key.The Almighty can open or shut the door,nobody else,not you or me or Satan himself. The members of this Church pleased The Lord. They believed The Word of God and obey it. Are you obeying God`s Word ? tomorrow is not promised,be prepared for Judgement Day !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               There were many Jews in Philadelphia,they came together in a building called a Synagogue. They thought they were God`s people, but they were wrong and to this day the majority still are. They said they were Jews,  born Jews,but a real Jew is not just a physical Jew but a Spiritual  Jew with a circumcision of the Spiritual Heart. Under the Seventh and perfect BLOOD of Jesus Christ. Our Mediator & High Priest. Jesus Christ will  write three names on all true believers. “ Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem,which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name”.        Rev. 3:12                                                                             Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Church of Sardis

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

heaven_opens_a_door_.jpgRev.3:1-6 The Church of Sardis was 30 miles south of Thyatira and 50 miles east of Ephesus. With a beautiful mountain view it defined a powerful and rich atmosphere. The Church lost its Zeal. That is happening right now ,The Church is a sleeping giant compromising The Word. The Church members in Sardis used to have a strong faith and they let it slip away by disobeying God. The process was very slow, like today.Some say we are under the blood of Christ and we do not have to be obedient to Jehovah,that is blasphemy.They are stomping on the grace of God and the extreme sacrifice on The Cross.They will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.                                                                                                                                                                                 When you are not faithful to God your morals degenerate and you become a living    hypocrite, an abomination to The Almighty. The letter comes from Jesus Christ He holds the Seven Spirits of God. The Seven Spirits of God represent the perfection of The Holy Spirit. The Seven Stars represent The Angels of the Seven Churches. The Door to Heaven is open to those who are Faithful and True. Jehovah sees the imperfections you can not sugar coat or cover anything. He can see right through you. Are you a real Christian or an Impostor? We must come to God boldly to the Throne of Grace, in Spirit and in Truth.                                                                                                                                                                    Christ tells the Christians to remember what they had,The Church members had heard The Gospel of The Kingdom and they believed it. They received new life from God. They served The Lord and did His work,but now they did not serve Him like they used to. My Brothers and Sisters, you agree that sounds very familiar in these End-times days?  Jesus tells them to repent,and that includes you and your Pastor if you are disobeying The Word of God.The Word of our Creator is Supreme,that includes all of it,not just what you want to believe,for example the blasphemy of Evolution, a Demonic lie. Rev.3:3  The Church in Sardis had to obey again The Word of God or they would suffer the consequences. We also have to adhere to the warning today…… Let us pray for all the Saints.                                                                                                        Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Church of Thyatira

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

grapes_cup_bread_.jpgRev. 2:18-29 The Letter to the Church of Thyatira is the longest and most difficult ,we do not know too much information about this particular Church.Our Lord and Saviour want us to concentrate on Demonic teachings.Thyatira is 40 miles southeast of Pergamos. This area was also rich in trading and commerce. Worship of false idols was predominant,this placed Christians in a head-on collision with their surroundings. Today we face the same opposition. In some areas  of the World in subtle ways, in others outright torture. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He is The only Way to Heaven. Jesus Christ is The Way, the Truth & The Life. The false God very popular in Thyatira was Apollo Tyrimnos,he was the Roman King. The eyes of Jesus were like a flame of fire,this represents His Omnipotence, Omnipresence. He knew the problems Christians had specially with Jezebel teachings.                                                                                                                                                                    We have to be very careful with false Prophets saying that they have a Word from God,like Jezebel bringing lies and confusing Christians. We must try the Spirit with the Spirit.Have you met a false Prophet? I have. You must use Apologetics,defend the Faith. Put them to the test. will they proclaim that Jesus Christ came in the Flesh for the Remission of our sins?  will they proclaim His Deity? Do not be fooled by Satanic Demons, study to show thyself approved unto God. Satan was conquered at the Cross. all we have to do is rely on the Power of Jesus Christ, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and be Obedient to jehovah. When we endure and persevere we will not end up in the lake of fire but in Heaven with a new glorified body. Glory to God !   Rev.2:26-27 clearly tell us the rewards of the Lord are for those who overcome.Are you willing to find out if you are saved now? or when you are in the Lake of Fire? The Word of God says ” Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:16  My Brothers and Sisters ,regardless of your position, now is the time to get it right. ‘He that hath an ear, let Him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Rev.2:29                  Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Church in Pergamos

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

crown_and_cross_.jpg  Revelation 2:12-17 “And to the angel of the Church in Pergamos write;These things saith He which hath the sharp sword with two edges”.  This is a warning from Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We must remain true to His name or we will receive horrible consequences. We must not deny our faith by letting Satan rule our lives,sin is no longer our master,only Our High Priest,Jesus Christ, our Mediator in Heaven. We have been paid for with a high price at Calvary, on The Cross.Satan tempted the Israelites to sin,to have wrong sex,to worship idols,to be disobedient to God, at the same time  preaching a message of Heresy. The rulers of this World only have the power that is permitted to them by Jehovah. They do not have the Two  Edge Sword. The Word of God. God is Love and Justice. God is not to be taken lightly ,He will correct you because He loves us. As a parent I correct my children because I love them.I am the example.                                                                                                                                                                          Life and Death belongs to Jesus Christ,The Lamb of God. The only one worthy to  open The Scroll, The book of Seven Seals.  Alleluia ! Glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. some individuals did what Balaam taught Balac, Numbers chapter 22 to 24. We do not take part in sinful behaviour,we do not commit sin to to bring someone to Christ.We do not get in the pit with the sinners because we want them to have a better life.They must be cleanse from the inside by the Holy Spirit.We are all dirty fleshly sinners before Salvation,This represents Spiritual death. We must rightly divide the Word of Truth. We must not be ignorant of false Doctrines,Demonic manipulation. True believers stay true to The Word. We Christians are different from the inhabitants of this Evil World.                                                                                                                                                            Saints,have fruits that show that we are the salt and light of this perverse World,that is in constant turmoil because of sinful behaviour. A Demon is Evil a Saint is Holy. Jesus will destroy those who do not repent,are you going to repent ? If you are already part of the Body,you know Jesus Christ was obedient to the Father,He is our example. Antipas died for the faith, He became a Martyr. Are you willing to die for the Faith? To God be The Glory. All over-comers will receive a new name written on a stone. We are represented as stones. Jesus Christ is The Chief Cornerstone. Alleluia !  Let us walk in Humility….                   Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.

The Church of Smyrna

Published by mirabal under Endtimes Edit This

cross.jpgOn the route north from Ephesus,was Smyrna.The modern name for this city is Izmir,about 35 miles from Ephesus.It is on the sea with a beautiful, gorgeous harbour.Smyrna was extremely busy in trading goods,a city of commerce.The Church of Smyrna suffered much from the locals,and Jesus Christ let them know that He knew about their sufferings,just like He knows now about our sufferings. There were a large number of Jews in Smyrna that gave Christians a hard time. They hated the Church.They turned the rulers of the city against the Church.  When we become Christians we become part of the Heavenly family. We become Spiritual Jews,and that includes physical Jews.We all become one body. The Church in Smyrna was going to suffer 10 years of terrible persecution. Rev.2:10 .                                                                                                                                                                                It is known by History 10 days/10 yrs That during this time in smyrna, The Roman rulers put many in prisons,some became Martyrs and died for their trust & obedience to Jesus Christ. The Almighty tell us not to be afraid of those who could kill the body,remember they can not kill your Spirit. At the Second Advent/Coming of Jesus Christ we will receive new,powerful glorious, Heavenly bodies. Alleluia,Glory to God ! To those who overcome Jesus will give them life as a crown,The reward like a crown is life itself. This is what you receive when you finish the race. There are more crowns,how many crowns are you going to receive? Let us continue to be Holy and Obedient to God`s Word. Rev.2:11 The Lord call us all to listen. We all need to hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. There is a second death,Eternal death.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  You will only become the over-comer when you acknowledge your sins,repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.Do not forget to put on the Armor of God. Ephesians 6:11-18 and Fight the good Fight. Walk in Holiness and give Glory to Jesus Christ. The Alpha & Omega,the beginning and the end.             Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.
