PART #1 - BIBLE'S "Prophetic Vocabulary" OPENS PROPHECIES!

    


    


       These posts are lovingly dedicated to my parents; 
         -and to the memory of Robert H. Hayden Jr.,

  •        who sparked a young man's quest to seek out and learn of the truth contained within Scripture.




       In the ignorance of my youth, but with the integrity of my heart I asked of God what I thought was a simple thing;


      That I might be shown truth, that I might know truth, simply that I might follow the truth.

        In the ignorance of my youth, I did not comprehend the depth of that which I had asked.




   Countless generations have sought to understand the Prophecies contained in the Books of Daniel and Revelation.




       If one has been researching Biblical Prophecy for any amount of time, it must be increasingly obvious that this deceived world is a "Bottomless Pit" of CONFLICTING EXPLANATIONS of Prophecy.     






So how are God's Children to ever know; 

-WHICH ONE 

-of the hundreds of "DIVERSE explanations" 

-is THE ACTUAL TRUTH Scripture is trying to reveal?





The Bible has a definite story to tell.






IF WE TRULY SEEK to understand that story;


       -we simply have to STOP trying to LEAD THE STORY, 

with diverse CONFLICTING denominational explanations we were TAUGHT BY THE WORLD; 






  • and JUST LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL STORY that God has preserved for His TRUE children for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.


John 14
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.











       It IS NOT the intent of this post 
to try to convince anyone that America IS that GREAT CITY BABYLON that is to be destroyed in one hour!






       It IS the intent of this post to present NON-DENOMINATIONAL 

ORGANIZED easily verifiable 

SCRIPTURAL and HISTORICAL FACTS

IN A SERIES OF SHORT EASY TO READ POSTS, 


 to a World Wide Jury THAT IS SEEKING VERIFIABLE TRUTH 










In Scripture;

we are told that ANY DISPUTE REQUIRES TWO or THREE WITNESS'S to resolve. 


Deuteronomy 19
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: 

-at the mouth of two witnesses, 

-or at the mouth of three witnesses, 



-shall the matter be established. 








       Please understand that the disturbing evidence submitted for your consideration 
is NOT based upon HUMAN theories, speculation, assumptions, or ANY HUMAN religious  denominational teachings or tradition;



  •  but is based strictly upon; 



  • The TESTIMONY 
        of FIVE TRUTHFUL WITNESS'S:

       

       -Daniel


       -John(in Revelation)


       -Jesus Christ HIMSELF


       -GOD HIMSELF


       -"Documented Human History"






      IF you find yourself as A JUROR IN THIS TRIAL, 


  • you will be asked only two things; 


  1. to forget about the "HEARSAY" you might have read in the newspaper or seen on television, or heard from your neighbor;


2. and SIMPLY CONSIDER the ENTIRE TESTIMONY you are about to hear FOR TRUTHFULNESS!
 






      As a JUROR; 

it is ENTIRELY UP TO YOU to determine WHAT or WHOM YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE!

 




Remember ONE THING as you read through the TESTIMONY of those FIVE WITNESS'S;


Romans 4
3 For what saith the scripture? 

Abraham believed God, 


and it was counted unto him for righteousness.




LET US START;


Consider this;


  • ISN'T TRUE PROPHECY ACTUALLY JUST HISTORY WRITTEN IN ADVANCE?




prophecy

noun   proph-e-cy

Simple Definition of prophecy

  • : a statement that something will happen in the future
  • : the power or ability to know what will happen in the future
Source: Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary







IF PROPHECY REALLY IS HUMAN HISTORY WRITTEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED, wouldn't Documented Human History be the KEY to understanding Biblical Prophecies?


 




ESPECIALLY IN THE "LAST DAYS";



       WOULDN'T comparing Biblical Prophecy against "Documented Human History" be 

the ONLY true test of FULFILLED Prophetic accuracy, and 

serve to pinpoint our CURRENT place in time within prophecy?







However, 

for most of us there IS just one minor stumbling block. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



Biblical Prophesies are full of "SYMBOLISM".  



       -Great Red Dragon

       -Great Harlot

       -"Little Horn"


       -"Great City" Babylon






        The REAL difficulty lies within OUR HUMAN ABILITY to understand Biblical "SYMBOLIC" Prophecies to compare against readily available Documented Human History.




           IS THIS NOT TRUTH?

           



  Let's face it, . . . 


       Sometimes trying to understand what is written in the Bible is just plain tough.






And BECAUSE OF this DIFFICULTLY IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS WRITTEN;




The TRUE challenge FOR THOSE SEEKING WISDOM AND TRUTH IS REVEALED:



-INTERPRETATION









BUT WHAT IF; 
the Bible contained not only . . . . . . . . . 


-"THE MYSTERY" humans seek to understand


-But also "THE KEY" to unlock those mysteries for God's TRUE CHILDREN which seek the truth.







       The first EVIDENCE presented for JURY consideration could be called a "PROPHETIC VOCABULARY".





       Did you know that when "SYMBOLIC" Prophetic Words are used in Scripture, Scripture ALWAYS PROVIDES THE INTERPRETATION OF THE SYMBOLIC WORD? 



       As we will soon learn, this IS the TRUTH!




      If one can absorb this KEY UNDERSTANDING, it is amazing how quickly the scales fall from the eyes, and the Prophecies instantly begin to reveal their mysteries.










       A "Prophetic Vocabulary" simply uses the TRANSLATION PROVIDED WITHIN SCRIPTURE of those "SYMBOLIC" Words.





       BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY; 




       The Bible's "Prophetic Vocabulary" ALSO;


  •  ALLOWS God's Children TO READ and Understand BIBLICAL PROPHECIES!






THERE IS NO NEED FOR HUMAN

       -SPECULATION
     
       -THEORY or, 

       -DENOMINATIONAL INTERPRETATION;



Because SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS ITSELF!!!




In other words; 

       - To UNDERSTAND the words of Biblical Prophecy,


       - One MUST BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY TRANSLATE the words of Biblical Prophecy!





EXAMPLE:
  • Daniel 7:3 shows us 4 BEASTS

  3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.    






  • Daniel 7:17 tells us these 4 BEASTS are 4 KINGS

17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise out of the earth.







       If our "Prophetic Vocabulary" IS BASED UPON SCRIPTURAL INTERPRETATION, would not the "SYMBOLIC" word;

 

 

  • BEAST = KING / KINGDOM?





       One may also notice that the SYMBOLIC Word "SEA" is translated as EARTH.








       Using THE TRANSLATION PROVIDED BY SCRIPTURE(Daniel 7:17)


Daniel 7:3 actually reads;

3 And four great KINGS/KINGDOMS came up from the EARTH, diverse one from another.



Daniel 7
23 Thus he said, The fourth BEAST shall be the fourth KINGDOM upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.





       However; 



       -CORRECTLY identifying this FOURTH BEAST in this almost 2600 year old story, has escaped humans for just as many years.


       But simply because God had shut up the understanding of the words, until the time of the end.




Daniel 12
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.








       IF one purposes to consider the ENTIRE TESTIMONY presented within these 32 Posts, 

      IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS at what point in history mankind has reached.







       Below is a list of "SYMBOLIC" Prophetic Words taken from the Books of Daniel and Revelation.
  





This list INCLUDES THE INTERPRETATION  provided by SCRIPTURAL INTERPRETATION.



  • BEAST  =  KING / KINGDOM

  • SEA  =  EARTH / Population of Souls
  • MOUNTAIN  =  KING / KINGDOM

  • HORN  =  KING / KINGDOM

  • STAR  =  ANGEL

  • CANDLESTICK  =  CHURCH

  • HEAD  =   KING / KINGDOM

  • WATERS  = PEOPLE / KINDREDS / TONGUES







       At this time THE DEFENSE would ask YOU, the Jury, to verify whether the above is truth.


       LINKS are provided for each Chapter of the Bible that is being explored, so the Jury can verify that what is written is truth.








-Or you can simply continue to believe 
what the world has taught you to believe.




ROMANS 12
And be not conformed to this worldbut be ye transformed by the re-newing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
 







       Consider the "SYMBOLIC" word MOUNTAIN.



DANIEL 2

  • In Daniel 2:34 and 2:35  we are shown a stone cut without hands that became a great MOUNTAIN that filled the whole earth.

 

  • In Daniel 2:44 and 2:45  we are told the stone became a great KINGDOM that filled the whole earth.







       In our "Prophetic Vocabulary" would not the SYMBOLIC word MOUNTAIN  =  KINGDOM?


  • STONE became great MOUNTAIN  
  • STONE became great KINGDOM










Is this interpretation of the "SYMBOLIC WORD" MOUNTAIN consistent throughout Scripture?





Isaiah 11

 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain(KINGDOM): for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.






Jeremiah 51

25 Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying 
mountain(KINGDOM), saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain(KINGDOM).








Daniel 2

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the 
silverand the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer 
threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain(KINGDOM), and filled the whole earth.







Zechariah 8

 3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain(KINGDOM) of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain(KINGDOM).














       Consider the "SYMBOLIC" word HORN.



DANIEL 7

  • In Daniel 7:7 we are shown a 4th dreadful beast with 10 HORNS

  • In Daniel 7:24 we are told the 10 HORNS are 10 KINGS.

 


 DANIEL 8

  • In Daniel 8:3 we are shown a Ram with 2 HORNS.

  • In Daniel 8:20 We are told the 2 HORNS are 2 KINGS.

 

  • In Daniel 8:5 we are shown a He Goat with 1 notable HORN.

  • In Daniel 8:21  we are told the 1 notable HORN is the 1st KING of Greece.

 


REVELATION 17

  • In Revelation 17:3 we are shown a scarlet beast with 7 HEADS and 10 HORNS.

  • In Revelation 17:12 we are told the 10 HORNS are 10 KINGS without kingdoms





 

     In our "Prophetic Vocabulary" would not the SYMBOLIC word HORN = KING?









       Consider the "SYMBOLIC" words CANDLESTICK and STAR.



REVELATION 1

  • In Revelation 1:12 we are shown 7 CANDLESTICKS.

  • In Revelation 1:16 we are shown 7 STARS

 

  • In Revelation 1:20 we are told the (7 CANDLESTICKS are 7 CHURCHS) and the (7 STARS are 7 ANGELS).

 







     In our "Prophetic Vocabulary" would not 
STAR  =  ANGEL and CANDLESTICK  =  CHURCH?







       Consider the "Symbolic" word "HEAD";




Daniel 2 
In Daniel 2:32 we are shown a "HEAD OF GOLD"


In Daniel 2:37,38  we are told that the "HEAD OF GOLD" was KING Nebuchadnezzar






In our "Prophectic Vocabulary" would not the word 

HEAD = KING/KINGDOM?
(Note: as we will soon discover, this IS NOT the ONLY Scripture that verifies this translation!)



       Consider the "SYMBOLIC" word WATERS.



REVELATION 17

  • In Revelation 17:1 we are shown a HARLOT that sits upon many WATERS.

 

  • In Revelation 17:15 we are told the WATERS are PEOPLES / NATIONS / TONGUES.

 








       Is it becoming obvious that HUMAN INTERPRETATION OF PROPHECY IS NEVER NECESSARY, simply because SCRIPTURE ALWAYS PROVIDES THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION?
      



       Does one also begin to notice CONSISTENCY within the INTERPRETATIONS PROVIDED BY SCRIPTURE?



DANIEL 12
12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.











       The Bible has a definite story to tell.



       To understand that story we simply have to STOP trying to LEAD THE STORY, with diverse CONFLICTING DENOMINATIONAL explanations



  • and JUST LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL STORY that God has preserved for His TRUE children for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.







     The BEST PLACE to START any Story is at the VERY beginning.





     In the next post we will put our "Prophetic Vocabulary" to the test for truth, as we expose Satan's "Greatest Story Never Told", and America's TRUE place within that story, BEGINNING with the Book of Daniel.









      If your spirit has recognized that there is truth contained within this, and all these 32 posts, please share this website with those that you love, that are also seeking truth.



May God bless,
