for the battle

(Rev 16:12-16) 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. 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. 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. Behold, I come as a

thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together

into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

NOTES

The description that God gives us is that the Satanic trinity is going to use propaganda in order to rally the troops to his throne (?) to do battle with God (Ps. 2)

But the description is that God also is going to gather them to do battle.

He see this in prophecy I n the Book of Ps. 2

(Isa 34:2) For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered

them to the slaughter.

(Isa 34:3) Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall

be melted with their blood.

(Isa 34:4) And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall

be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf

falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

(Joe 3:2) I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among

the nations, and parted my land.

(Zec 14:2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city

shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off

from the city.

(Zec 14:3) Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when

he fought in the day of battle.

Psalms 2

NOTES

Understand that Rev. 16 calls this the “great day” of the God (Lord) Almighty

This is the day that almost everyone gets what they deserve God get the revenge that is do

him Jesus gets the reverence that is

do him Mankind gets the repercussions

do him

Only one type of person doesn’t get what they deserve • Only those that have been

redeemed

5. The hill and valley

of the battle

NOTES

The French military and political leader Napoleon Bonaparte once stood at the valley of Megiddo, and remarked, "All the armies of the world could maneuver their forces on this vast plain."

This valley is also know as Jerzeel

NOTES

This valley is also know as Jerzeel This is the same place that Deborah

and Barak defeated Sisera (Judges 4)

This is the same place Gideon defeated the Midianites (Judges 7)

This is the same place Saul was killed by the Philistines (1 Sam. 31)

(Rev 14:17-20) And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power

over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy

sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into

the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood

came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

NOTES

In this valley 200 million men sanctioned by the United Nations (10 kingdoms of the Antichrist) will gather to make war with GOD!

Christ according to Rev. 19 and 14 will stamp out this army with his foot…

NOTES

The average man has 10 pints of blood in him depending on size.

There are 8 pints in a gallon. Therefore a man has on average 1.25 gallons of blood

If there is 200 million men, you would have 250 million gallons of blood

Enough to fill 416 Olympic size swimming pools (164 ft L X 82 ft W X 6 ft 7 deep)

Enough to fill CHBC sanctuary 505 times

5. The path that Lord will

take at his return

(Rev 16:12-16) 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. 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. 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. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is

he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

NOTES

The reference to a “thief” is always in reference to the 2nd coming not the rapture. A thief comes and snatches away with out notice

Don’t for get that not all people will take that mark, and that God will provide a haven for them

And according to Rev. 12 there will be a post tribulation rapture of the saints that are hiding in Petra.

(Mat 24:29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be

darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be

shaken:(Mat 24:30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and

then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man

coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

(Mat 24:31) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they

shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the

other.

Petra

It all has to do with

“Shoe removal ”

Ex. 3Josh. 5

(Exo 3:2) And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out

of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and

the bush was not consumed.

(Exo 3:7) And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my

people which are in Egypt, and have

heard their cry by reason of their

taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

(Exo 3:8) And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a

large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey…

(Jos 5:13-15) And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and,

behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his

hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for

our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto

his servant? And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.

And Joshua did so.

King’s Highway (Num 20:17) Let us pass, I pray thee,

through thy country: we will not pass through the

fields, or through the vineyards, neither will

we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right

hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy

borders.

(Isa 11:16) And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from

Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day

that he came up out of the land of

Egypt.

(Deu 33:1-2) And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the

man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he said, The

LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto

them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came

with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

Starting at Sinai

(Hab 3:3-4) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was

full of his praise. And his brightness was as the light; he

had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the

hiding of his power.

Then to Teman

(Mic 2:12) I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold:

they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.

(Mic 2:13) The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate,

and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD

on the head of them.

(Isa 63:1) Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from

Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in

the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to

save.

Then to Edom

(Zec 14:4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the

mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof

toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very

great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward

the south.

Crossing the Jordan to Mt. Olives

Crossing the Jordan to Mt. Olives

(Jos 4:14) On that day the LORD

magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as

they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
