POWERFUL PROTAGONISTS on Stage to Fulfill
Pending New Testament Prophecies!

21st Century
Third Decade

Is it possible that all around planet Earth, there are already in position on the WORLD STAGE, POWERFUL PROTAGONISTS whose beliefs, agendas, and actions regarding morality, culture, personal liberties, religion, origins, peace, ecology, and globalism, may result in the precise and complete fulfillment of the PROPHECIES of the Book of REVELATION yet to be fulfilled?

A PowerPoint artistic creation of planet Earth first moving over blue, quiet space, then over flames, a corrupt woman riding a secular beast, and a man pushing Earth over a precipice, with brief texts highlighting Protagonists on the World State in the Third Decade of the 21st century.

...into the dangerous short period of the "LITTLE TIME."

Planet Earth moves from the MILLENNIAL TIMES of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY....

GOD'S RAINBOW COVENANT

The RAINBOW, beautiful wonder of earthly nature.

Esteemed reader, do you fully appreciate its symmetry, diaphanous colors, size, and pure loveliness? Do you know its origin, when it first appeared, its significance, and what it is a "SIGN" of? That the "NORMALITY" in nature that it signifies can be highly deceptive for purely secular humans? That its celestial equivalent is

seen above the throne of the Living Creator God in Heaven and in other scenes of those realms? That this living God calls the rainbow "MY BOW?" That humans who appropriate it for carnal purposes do so at extreme risk for themselves?

of the 21st CENTURY.

A PowerPoint creation of letters of the alphabet on a background of stormy clouds.

After the text, a PowerPoint creation with video clips on "The evolving DRAMAS of Two Great Masses of Humans who occupy the World State."

An unusual, potentially very deceptive PERIOD of TIME in human history, when many powerful nation-leaders, organizations, and great multitudes of people around the globe of Earth are clamoring for and working for "PEACE, SECURITY, and PROSPERITY." Ever closer and closer to making these tremendous goals a REALITY for a major portion of humankind. 

YET, even among the vast multitudes worldwide who desire these enormous "BLESSINGS," there are great numbers led by vociferous, persuasive influencers, who want to ENJOY THEM in a world where pure libertinism, secularism, materialism, and hedonism are the ruling philosophies for human life on Earth. With almost zero tolerance for opposing life views and world views. A MENTALITY which, effectively, translates to the philosophy and agenda of: "NO specific moral codes; NO God, gods, or goddesses; NO Bible, Vedas (Hinduism), Tripitaka (Buddhism), Guru Granth Sahib (Sikhism), Qur'an (Islam), or other so-called "Sacred Writings." In short, to: NO RELIGION AT ALL!!!!.

Believe it or not, this "Unusual, disquieting PRESENT SITUATION of HUMANITY in GENERAL in the 2020s" was, to those who see it thus, actually FORSEEN almost 2,000 years ago by the Master Teacher and Prophet of Nazareth, JESUS. He taught: "While people are saying, 'There is PEACE and SECURITY,' then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a THIEF. For you are all children of LIGHT, children of the DAY. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober." 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. "THAT DAY" is not a reference to the "Pax Romana" ("Roman Peace"), usually dated from 27 BCE to 180 CE, but to the DAY of the SECOND "COMING of the LORD,described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, of which the above-cited text is a continuation.

 

And for a clearer and deeper understanding of the "Unusual, disquieting  SITUATION" under the magnifying glass, he revealed the relevant prophecies of Revelation 10:6; 16:12-16; 20:1-11; and 21:1 on "rulers of nations deceived and persecuting, rulers not deceived during a "THOUSAND YEARS" (the Millennium), rulers deceived again, ARMAGEDDON, the END of the EARTH, and "TIME SHOULD BE NO LONGER."

What is so "UNUSUAL, disquieting, and potentially HIGHLY DECEPTIVEabout the prophecy of Jesus and its fulfillment in the Third Decade of the 21st Century? Think about it. In a given "SITUATION of HUMANITY," when great multitudes around the globe of Earth are blessed with "PEACE, SECURITY, and PROSPERITY" to a notable degree, how could there be any serious threat or real danger of "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION" WORLDWIDE? "Unthinkable, absurd, ridiculous" would be, naturally, the response of multitudes who have not, for whatever reason, studied these subjects.

 

But, It can happen, and is prophesied by the Master Teacher and Prophet Jesus of Nazareth to assurely happen as a consequence of the godless secularism, materialism, hedonism, and satanic idolatry of the overriding majority of human beings who take advantage of "PEACE, SECURITY, and PROSPERITY" to satisfy all their own personal fleshly, worldly passions, vices, obsessions, agendas, and philosophies, in bold and defiant rejection of the Creator God's divine purpose and instructions for human beings!

Severe PLAGUES are to be brought upon them to get them to "REPENT," but, revealing beforehand, by divine foresight, the outcome, Jesus says: "THEY DID NOT REPENT." Revelation 9:20-21; 11:18; 16:9-21 

I would respectfully ask: Have Buddha, Confucius, the authors of the Vedas, Mohammed, the Popes, the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchs, the Actec writings, Nostradamus, and self-appointed "prophets" of Christendom such as Jong Myuung-seok (South Korean), Alan John Miller (Australian), et all, proclaimed as devine revelations given to them, specific prophecies just like those of Jesus of Nazareth being precisely fulfilled in this THIRD DECADE of the 21st CENTURY? Precisely, the one: "While people are saying, 'There is PEACE and SECURITY,' then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION will come upon them..."

To be sure, "the TESTIMONY of JESUS is the SPIRIT of PROPHECY(Revelation 19:10), and both his prophecies fulfilled already, as well as those being fulfilled in the 21st century, constitute indisputable proof that he is the "ONE LORD" (Ephesians 4:5) who has that true "SPIRIT of PROPHECY.Thus confirmed his legitimacy, power, and universal "AUTHORITY" (Matthew 28:18-20), WISE, indeed, will be the human beings in Asia, Africa, Europe, North, Central, and South America, and all the islands of the seven seas who seek to know and follow his will on all matters having to do with the salvation of the soul, for he and his Father in heaven desire "all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:3-4; John 3:16.

 

"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:15-16; Acts 22:16. "REPENT and BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR the FORGIVENESS of your SINS, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:28

Act 1, Scene 2. RESUME of MAJOR POINTS. The "First Beast" of Revelation 13 rises out of the sea, roiled by the "four winds of heaven." So do the "four great beasts" of Daniel 7:1-3. The "SEVEN HEADSof the "FIRST BEAST" of Revelation are not the seven hills on which Rome was built. They are not seven forms of Roman government, nor seven Roman emperors. They are not contemporary. Five have fallen, one is present when Revelation was written in 95 CE, and the other had not yet come. The "SEVEN HEADS are "seven kings" and "seven mountains" (Revelation 17:9), both symbolizing earthly kingdoms. Extensive evidence in support of these interpretations is also revealed in Daniel’s visions as recorded in Daniel 7:1-28, which are studied. The seven earthly kingdoms represented by the"SEVEN HEADSof the "first beast" are identified by name. 1 video clip. 13 images. Response to a "professor" who mocks the "First Beast" as "preposterous... disgustingly abnormal and ugly... pagan language and art forms."

EVERYTHING LOST in EDEN COMPENSATED a MILLION-FOLD with SPECTACULAR REWARDS

When thoughtful and serious human beings reflect on the current (first half of the 21st century) conditions and ongoing evolution of all that is material, physical, and spiritual, many may well begin to DOUBT the goodness, love, and power of the Supreme Creator God who, according to those who believe in him, conceived, planned, and brought into existence all that is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced in one way or another. Continue reading...

We continue our respectful communication with the Almighty Creator God regarding our “PUNISHMENT, we describe as “truly often TERRIBLE.

Ten incredible celestial New World, New Heavens, eternal rewards for souls deemed worthy to receive them are identified and described concisely. They compensate a million-fold over all that was lost originally in Eden and subsequently across the entire spectrum of earthly time and space.

Three Questions for Today

A new “POPE” for the world?
NEGATIVE!

For Roman Catholics around the world, YES, and for non-Catholic politicians seeking to curry favor with Catholic voters, but NOT for the rest of the world's religious and political leaders.

An image of the coat of arms of the new “POPE,” Leo XIV.

An image of the coat of arms of the new Pope Leo XIV.

Question. Since the Lord Jesus Christ explicitly and categorically commanded: “AND CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER ON THE EARTH: FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER, EVEN HE WHO IS HEAVEN" (Matthew 23:9), with what justification does the supreme leader of the Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in the Vatican, call himself “POPE?” “POPE,from the late Latin word “papa, derived in turn from the Greek πάππας (“páppas”), meaning “FATHER. Roman Catholics call him “the HOLY FATHER,” “Most Blessed FATHER,” or Most Holy FATHER. This is a public, blatant, and massive violation of the very clear commandment of “CHRIST,the only legitimate “HEAD of the CHURCH.Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18

Question. Why does Pope Leo XIV NOT OBEY Christ’s command? Among some possible reasons:

Despite having studied in Catholic educational institutions from his childhood until obtaining a Doctorate in Canon Law in 1984, he never read Matthew 23:9.

Another possible reason. He may be so terrifically convinced that the Ecumenical Councils of the past and present have the divine authority to amend the original teachings of Christ and his personally chosen apostles, or simply to ignore them, substituting their own interpretations, that he unquestionably follows their decisions even though they patently contradict the original Sacred Writings of the New Testament Christ sealed with his own blood. Matthew 26:28

And still another. Raised in the bosom of Roman Catholicism and with his mind and spirit completely imbued since childhood with the traditions, dogmas and religious-social-political culture of said religion, he became a virtual SLAVE to IT to the point of not caring that its doctrines and practices are completely lacking in clear biblical support, a reality that the renowned Roman Catholic historian and theologian Hans Küng DID COME TO UNDERSTAND to a remarkable extent. Many of this man´s writings are available in English. For example, the large volume “The Church.” A list is included in the article on Hans Küng in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_K%C3%BCng#English_translations

Question. Are Roman Catholic cathedrals the face of Pure Christianity? Click HERE for the biblical answer.

A SHORT STUDY on this PAGE

Will Planet Earth Continue Existing Eternally?

Only one KEY Bible verse is needed to understand and prove absolutely that IT WILL NOT. The verse is 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18.

“…while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the THINGS which ARE SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the THINGS which ARE NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.

Since Planet Earth and the universe of which it is a part are "things" that can be "seen," they definitely “are TEMPORAL. And, since they are temporal, they absolutely are not eternal!

llave-biblia-oro-700-Export.jpg

​Consequently, “the knowledge of his will [that of the Creator God] in all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9), demands that any religion, theology, or philosophy which asserts that they will continue existing eternally has to be classified as WRONG, MISTAKEN, MISGUIDINGon a grand scale. For example, the relevant doctrines of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the light of this ONE KEY TEXT, just ONE, so simple and clear, all of their arguments affirming the "purification of this material Earth and its eternal existence as a new edenic paradise" fall apart and turn to gray dust, however convincing they might seem to minds not blessed with full “knowledge… spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Logic and COMMON SENSE dictate that all relevant Bible texts relating to the duration of Planet Earth be interpreted in the light of this one, elementary key text.

Dear reader, do you see how easy it is to learn and understand the fundamental teachings of the pure gospel brought by Jesus Christ from God the Father for the salvation of the whole world? John 8:26-40. The “KEY” is to recognize the KEY TEXTS. The plain and simple ones. So clear and straightforward that their meaning cannot be missed, and will not be missed by the honest, unbiased seeker of Divine Truth. Who will not be so rash as to dismiss them, trash them, deny them, disobey them, allowing false interpretations and personal opinions to trump them.

The RELEVANCE of this subject for your life and mine? By accepting that “the things which are seen are temporal,” that is, that matter is not inherently eternal, an affirmation seconded by large numbers of astrologists, physicists, and other scientists, I confront, basically, two options.

The first: That I be RESIGNED to the end, the cessation, the death, sooner or later, of all that is visible, even of all matter, whatever its form may be, including “DARK MATTER” and the smallest elements of atoms such as quarks and gluons. That I accept it, however reluctantly, as an inescapable reality but choose to believe that there are NO CONSEQUENCIES whatsoever for me after that definitive “END of my physical life, that END of all things physical and material in the whole universe.

The second option: That I accept that “all things which are seen are temporal” and also its counterpart:the things which are not seen are eternal. That I accept both affirmations as HARD FACTS. And that I think long and hard about the significance and consequences of those FACTS. That I proceed to procure the ETERNAL. A concept which, thankfully, I have the mental and spiritual capacity to understand and appreciate if I set my mind to it. A power that, in and of itself, signifies that I am more-much, much more- than just a physical, material animal!

My own investigations of the “Dimension of the Eternal”  include the Bible, especially the New Testament, where I see “eternity, “the eternal,” the “everlasting, set forth as a marvelous, highly desirable, attainable state for every human being who seeks “glory, honor, and immortality.”  This “state” of eternal existence in a new, powerful, glorious, spiritual body, in a perfect “NEW EARTH” of a celestial nature I find to be infinitely superior to that “state of eternal nothingness” after the death of the physical body, a sad "state" held to be the endless, empty fate of those humans who choose not to believe in the “eternal” of the "only true God," the Creator. John 17:3

I, then, have accepted this second option. What is your choice? Sincerely, Homer Dewayne Shappley
