Painting Of The Two Beasts Of Revelations


Painting Of The Two Beasts Of Revelations


Revelations 13:1
CHAPTER 13 (A.D. 96) ANTICHRIST 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea (not a body of water, but a sea of people), and saw a beast rise up out of the sea (pertains to the Antichrist, now empowered by Satan as no other man ever has been), having seven heads and ten horns (represents seven Empires that have greatly persecuted Israel in the past, with the “ten horns” actually being the seventh head; the “ten horns” representing ten nations are yet future), and upon his horns ten crowns (the horns now being crowned show that these ten nations have now come to power, and will use that power to help the Antichrist; they will be located in the Middle East and in parts of Europe and possibly North Africa, all being in the old Roman Empire territory [Dan. 7:7-8]), and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Satan controls these Empires, and will control the ten nations, therefore, the name “blasphemy.”)

2 And the beast which I saw (represents the fallen Angel who will be let out of the bottomless pit to help the Antichrist [Rev. 11:7]; both the fallen Angel and the Antichrist are referred to as a “beast,” but they are two different beings) was like unto a leopard (this fallen Angel will help the Antichrist to speedily conquer; Daniel describes this event as well [Dan. 7:6]), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (carries the characteristics of the ancient Medo-Persian Empire, which is ferociousness), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (portrays the finesse, grandeur, and pomp of the Babylonian Empire): and the dragon (Satan) gave him (the Antichrist) his power, and his seat, and great authority. (So, the Antichrist will have Satan helping him as well as this powerful fallen Angel, and, no doubt, a host of other fallen Angels and demon spirits.) 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death (doesn’t refer to the Antichrist, but rather one of the Empires of the past, which greatly persecuted Israel; it pertains to the Grecian Empire under Alexander the Great, and in reality speaks of the same fallen Angel helping Alexander; when Alexander died, this fallen Angel who helped him to conquer so speedily was locked away in the bottomless pit [Dan. 7:6]); and his deadly wound was healed (refers to the fact that this fallen Angel will be released out of the bottomless pit to aid and abet the Antichrist [Rev., Chpt. 17]; it is doubtful the Antichrist will know or realize the source of his power, taking all the credit unto himself): and all the world wondered after the beast. (This refers to the part of the world he has conquered, but with the entirety of the world definitely paying him homage as he now seems to exude superhuman ability.) 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast (refers to the fact that men worship power): and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (This proclaims the means by which power is worshiped.) 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies (powerful claims will be made, with the Name of Jesus being ridiculed); and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (the last three and one half years of the Great Tribulation; despite his power, the Lord still controls the time frames, and, in fact, all events). 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name (he will use all the power of print, Radio, Television, and computers to demean the God of the Bible; it will be a regimen of blasphemy on a worldwide basis, such as the world has never known before), and His Tabernacle (refers to Heaven), and them who dwell in Heaven. 8 And all who dwell upon the Earth shall worship him (first of all, we’re speaking here of worship, not dominion of nations; as well, the word “all” doesn’t refer to every single human being, but rather people from all nations of the world, however many that number might be), whose names are not written in the Book of Life (refers to the fact that Believers will not worship the Antichrist) of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (This tells us that the only way one’s name can be placed in the Book of Life is by acceptance of Jesus Christ as one’s Lord and Saviour, and what He did for us at the Cross. Also, the phrase, “From the foundation of the world” proclaims the fact that the Doctrine of “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified” is the Foundation Doctrine of all Doctrines. In other words, every Doctrine from the Bible must be built on the foundation of the Cross of Christ, otherwise it is bogus.)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the Earth (refers to the false prophet; by the use of the word “Earth,” the Holy Spirit is telling us that this man is not from above, but rather from the masses of people); and he had two horns like a lamb (he has a lamb-like appearance which is intended to deceive), and he spoke as a dragon (refers to the fact that he will be greatly anointed by the Devil; in a sense, the Antichrist will claim to be Christ, while the false prophet will try to fill the role of the Holy Spirit). 12 And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him (the power or authority exercised by the false prophet will come directly from Satan, and not through the Antichrist), and causes the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (the false prophet is promoting Earth and not Heaven, meaning he will promise Heaven here on Earth; the promises he makes will be tied to the “worship” given to the Antichrist), whose deadly wound was healed (doesn’t refer to an assassination attempt or even to the Antichrist being killed and raised from the dead as some teach, but rather that the powerful fallen Angel, who helped bring the Grecian Empire into power under Alexander the Great and has been locked up for many, many centuries, has now been loosed and is helping the Antichrist; this “deadly wound being healed” speaks of his release from the bottomless pit [Dan. 7:6; Rev. 11:7; 13:2]). 13 And he (the false prophet) does great wonders (signs), so that he makes fire come down from Heaven on the Earth in the sight of men (will be literal, which means it’s not a trick; he will do this through the power of Satan), 14 And deceives them who dwell on the Earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast (refers to the efforts of the false prophet to elevate the Antichrist; the word “beast” is used interchangeably between the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the fallen Angel; whatever they call themselves, the Holy Spirit refers to them as “beasts”); saying to them who dwell on the Earth, that they should make an image to the beast (it is an image for the purpose of worship, and will probably be set up in the Temple built by the Jews in Jerusalem), which had the wound by a sword, and did live (refers to the Antichrist somehow being wounded, a wound incidentally which should have taken his life; that he lives is construed as a miracle, with credit probably going to the false prophet; this is not the “wound” of Verse 3; that was on “one of his heads,” which had to do with an Empire [actually the Grecian Empire], and not an individual; this wound of Verse 14 pertains to an individual, in this case the Antichrist). 15 And he (the false prophet) had power to give life unto the image of the beast (should have been translated, “For he had power to give spirit unto the image of the beast”; that is the actual word used in the Greek; to give life is solely the prerogative of the Godhead), that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (by the powers of darkness, this image will be able to somehow speak, and will, as well, pronounce the sentence of death upon all who will not worship the image of the beast; this will probably be in Jerusalem!). 16 And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads (“all” represents only those in his domain, not the entirety of the world; this domain will include virtually the entirety of the area of the old Roman Empire, which includes North Africa, the Middle East, and most of modern Europe; this will be a literal mark): 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he who had the mark (we are told in Verses 11 through 13 that the seduction of the Antichrist will be religious; now we are told in Verses 16 and 17 it will be economic), or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (The thought is that either the “name” of the beast or his “number” will be required as a brand or mark upon all.) 18 Here is wisdom (this is the wisdom of God). Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast (the idea is that it is the number of a man, not of God, which means he will give account to Jehovah, Whom he has repeatedly blasphemed): for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (It is the number of a man, not a kingdom, not a religion, not a dispensation, but a man. The number 666.)

Tree With Owl, Gnome And Mushroom

 Tree With Owl, Gnome And Mushroom
Tree With Owl, Gnome And Mushroom Closeup

I love owls and they are very popular now along with gnomes and mushrooms.  I enjoyed painting this one because I like these colors together and it looks beautiful hanging in my special room.  I never get bored of painting trees.

Painting Of The Seven Spirits Of God In Revelations

Painting Of The Seven Spirits Of God In Revelations

King James Version (KJV)
 
Revelation 4:5
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
 
Revelation 5
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
 
The Cross on the right side of the painting is composed of the saved people worshipping God (if you look closely.

Painting Of One Way To God

Jesus Takes Girl to Heaven With Holy Spirit

There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ.  The doves symbolize the Holy Spirit.

Proof Jesus Is Creator God Who Created All Things
Fact 1: God is the creator (Isaiah 40:28)
Fact 2: The Word is Jesus, (John 1:14-17)
Fact 3: All things were made by the Word (John1:1-3)
Fact 4: The Word existed PRIOR to creation ('all things') (John1:1-3)
Logical Conclusion 1: Jesus is the Creator
Logical Conclusion 2: Jesus is God.
Fact 5: God's name is I AM (Exodus 3:14)
Fact 6: Jesus claimed to be the I AM (John 8:56-59)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jesus is the Word. (Jesus is Creator God who created everything) John1:1-3

Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: ‘ I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. (Isaiah 44:6)

God is the First and the Last, nothing existed before God and nothing will exist after Him. In Revelation Jesus identifies himself as

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” (Revelation 22:13) How is it that both God the Father and Jesus can be the first and the last? This is only possible because Jesus is God. The Word is Jesus, (John 1:14-17). Remember what John 1:1 said, “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Both are God, both are one being, one deity, even though they are individual. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (The Holy Trinity) who dwells in born again believers who receive this new spirit when they repent and are born again with a knew spirit-the Holy Spirit who now lives in them teaching, guiding, comforting and healing them and helping them to overcome addictions and sins. All three in One. One God in three. Jesus said I am in Him and He is in Me. There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Savior and Lord because of what He did on the cross for you as payment for your sins so that you did not have to. Since the great disobedience to God of choosing to know evil and the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden we are all born with with a carnal sin nature and proclivity to sin. God is perfect and we are not. God can't abide with sin and is a just God where there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding perfect blood. Since no human that ever lived did not sin and was not perfect, God Himself came to earth with the body of a human and never sinned so that He could get all of us pardoned of sin if we so choose His free gift of salvation by shedding His blood and suffering on the cross in our place. God so loved the world that He did this for you so you could appear to God as righteous like Jesus Christ.
