in the book of the Revelation
  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)
  This series called Men of Renown will begin with these verses in Chapter 6 of the book of Genesis because it is the perfect scene setter for whatever and whoever follows that enables men of renown to act in conflict against God and His Word. Genesis 6 verses 4 and 5 are an accurate definition of men of renown.
  Just in case you have accidently found this article, don’t move away. I’m not going to sell you anything! Well . . . maybe not sell, but I am going to try to GIVE you something. If you missed the previous article, this is what you missed: why Israel is the target of the world; why Satan tried to destroy Israel before Israel became a nation, and why Satan’s continues to attempt to annihilate her into our age of supposedly technological brilliancy; how Israel overcame, and will overcome; the millennial age to come; and a bit about the battle of Armageddon; how Christ is reflected in the Old Testament; and a few other little tidbits.
  Antisemitism is the hot new talking fad right now, but this is not why we are writing about Israel. Why am I writing about Israel? It’s simple, because Chapter 12 of the book of the Revelation is ALL about Israel. (The number twelve (12) represents Israel and the twelve tribes, and this number also represents the Church. The title should give you a clue about this Chapter, The Last Great Mystery Continues in the Second Woman in the book of the Revelation. There are three women mentioned in this last book of the Bible. All are types: the first woman is Jezebel (symbolic of idolatry), the second woman is Israel (God’s people and Satan’s target), and the third woman is Babylon the great (representing the mysterious system of an idolatrous world organized by one man after the first unifier Nimrod). If you would like to know more then, golly gee, I guess you’ll just have to read previous articles. Oh me, oh my, what a terrible thing to suggest! (I have this blind spot, you see, I really resent how we have been made stupid by NOT READING! One of the greatest inventions by Satan was television, and mind control manipulation through visual propaganda.) OK, I’ll give you this, since you are on the internet, you are READING this article through the means of visual technology, so you have that. Let’s continue on to Revelation 12:12, and 12:13.

3. The Kingdom of Man and the Rage of Satan
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (Revelation 12:13)
  Chapter 12, verse 12, begins with Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Why rejoice? Because of what preceded this verse, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11) Before the Spirit of God continued on into the 12th verse, He placed a point of encouragement, that they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. This is a difficult point for not only Israel to remember, (Israel is the Holy Spirit’s focus of Chapter 12), but for all who have been bought by the blood of the Lamb, that because the Lord Jesus Christ overcame sin, death and Satan, we too, through Him, have overcome.
  Up to our necks in the pond of despair, surrounded by the insanity of those under the power of Satan, constantly bombarded by hollow voices celebrating man’s madness, too often it may appear to us that they have overcome, and not that we have overcome Satan. Therefore, before the Spirit of God continues on into verse 12 with Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time, He has written (through the pen of the apostle John) Therefore rejoice. There is another encouraging point by the Spirit of God. Who is told to rejoice? Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Heaven is to rejoice, and not only heaven, but ye that dwell in them. All those who have passed (through death) from the earthly realm into the heavenly realm are to rejoice. And yet, there is more, because those who have not yet died also dwell in them. Huh ? . . . Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: (Colossians 1:12) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. (Colossians 1:13) When you were first created in the image of Adam, you were a creature of the earth, separated from God, but since your new creation when you were created anew, you became a creation purposed for the holy realm of God; therefore, God gave you a new nature, called a divine nature. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2nd Peter 1:4) Being a new creature in faith entails many trials and trails; one of these trials is that we live in two different worlds: the world of the seen and the world of the unseen. The word of God has to constantly remind us that we are no longer of the seen realm, but we are of the unseen realm. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.(Colossians 3:2) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances. (Colossians 2:20)
  This opening phrase, Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, also takes in those not of Israel; that the heavens, and those who dwell in the heavens should rejoice because they have overcome by the blood of the Lamb.
♦
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
  Again, I want to draw your attention to where this verse lives. The name of the street is 12 and the number of its home is 12. The number twelve (12) represents Israel (the 12 tribes) and it also connects to the Church (the 12 apostles) and it also describes the heavenly city, the holy Jerusalem: twelve gates with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel written on them, and the foundation of this city have twelve foundations with the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb then this heavenly city is founded on the apostles with gates of the children of Israel. And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: (Revelation 21:12) And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Revelation 21:14)
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
  Can you read the message in 12:12? First, the heavens and those who dwell in the heavens are told to rejoice because they have overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb, then, the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea are told that they will be in great affliction, great tribulation, and in great suffering through one little word: woe.
  I find great comfort in Revelation 12:12 although there is a WOE directed to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea, the Church, the Body of Christ no longer inhabits the earth, but the Church has been safely transported to be with their Savior, Jesus Christ. How can I be so sure that the Church will not experience the judgment of this WOE? First, judgment WILL definitely begin at the house of God, and rightly so; secondly, we are already aware of the coming judgment of God upon the nations of the world; and thirdly, Christians have always faced and endured hatred from the world and many have been slaughtered, especially in our current day, and tribulation maybe already upon us, but the great tribulation and the wrath of God will not be part of the Church’s experience. Yes, I differentiate between tribulation, the great tribulation and the wrath of God because Scripture clearly provides evidence that there is a difference between these terms.
•Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:9)
•And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1st Thessalonians 1:10)
•For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (1st Thessalonians 5:9)
  Here is a little piece of information about the word wrath. Wrath is mentioned thirteen (13) times in the book of the Revelation. (Remember that the number 13 is connected to rebellion and judgment in the thirteenth chapter in Scripture.) Now try and convince me that man (without the Spirit of God directing the pen) wrote the Bible. The message in the address of 12:12 is to both Israel primarily and the Church secondarily. Israel is the primary object of Chapter 12, and the last verse in this Chapter (verse 17) also confirms the extent of the dragon’s rage and wrath in the two groups of people that he wages war against: the remnant of Israel’s seed, which keep the commandments of God, and those who become Christians, followers of Christ, during this great tribulation period, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Yes, there will be those who are born anew, but they will suffer a great price for their stand as followers of Christ. (Revelation 12:17) And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
  The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book neither for the curious, nor for those who cannot venture beyond Cliff Notes summaries. The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is not chronologically and historically set except for Chapters 2 and 3. Church history is set on earth in Chapters 2 and 3, then after that everything occurs from the viewpoint of the heavenly supernatural world to the tangible earth. Chapter 4, verse 1, begins with a door opened in heaven. After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Although Revelation is anchored in the Supernatural realm of God’s heaven, the Holy Spirit is quite specific in how He frames each chapter. From Chapter four (4) onward, all is seen from a heavenly point of view. Since this book is for man to understand, it was also written through symbolism and types drawing readers back into the Old Testament to comprehend the origins of symbolism and types. This fantastic book of Revelation is just that: it is the revealing of Christ as the Ancient of days, it reveals God in the SEEN and in the UNSEEN image of God; it is the revealing of the End of the Kingdom of Man, it is the revealing of the beginning of Christ’s reign as King on earth, it is the revealing of the fulfillment of all previous prophesies; although we may not be the brightest crayons in the box; we, believers in Christ, have been given everything that we need in order to understand this book of Revelation. However, there is one thing that is absolutely necessary in order to comprehend the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and that is the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of prophecy dwelling within the reader. Reading Chapter 12 is an exercise in mind travel, because in each verse the Holy Spirit has beautifully designed many different avenues leading into numerous boulevards, and verse 12 is one of these travel terminals of thoughts and spiritual way stations and terminals. Terminal #1, Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Terminal #2 Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! Terminal #3 for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, Terminal #4 because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
  This verse does not speak of only one time frame, but numerous time frames. In time frame #1, we (believers in Christ, alive in heaven and/or alive on earth including those saints in the age of the Old Testament) are the ye that dwell in them. In terminal #2, the single woe here is Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! This is to all those who inhabit the earth and also to Israel and the Church (12:12). Then terminal #3, the great wrath of the devil is directed against Israel, for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath. Remember that this twelfth Chapter is specifically about Israel. To confirm that this great wrath of Satan is especially centered on Israel, let us look at the phrase great wrath. This phrase is found five times in the Old Testament and only once in the New Testament in our study verse of Revelation 12:12 for a total of six (6) mentions. In the Old Testament it is primarily God’s great wrath against: Judah, and Israel. (2nd Kings 23:26; Proverbs 19:19; Jeremiah 21:5, 32:37; Zechariah 7:12). Since mankind is so self-centered, it is not difficult for man to believe that the Bible was written around his own self, and his particular nation. The Bible does say this about mankind, that ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. But that’s not what man wants to hear. Man wants to believe that he and his nation will have an active role to play at The End. Well, in one sense, man will have a role to play, sinful man will be judged . . . that’s a role. And every nation that gathers together to annihilate Israel will also have a role to play; the bodies of their armies will lay scattered as bones in the valley of slaughter. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter. (Jeremiah 19:6) Chapter 14 of the book of Zechariah describes what the military aggressors against Israel will suffer, verse 16 helps to set the time frame that this battle will occur before Christ takes His earthly throne in Jerusalem. This is just a small description of the battle of Armageddon. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zechariah 14:12) And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16) The Lord has many weapons at His disposal, and they will ALL be used to end man’s kingdom on earth. Don’t worry about the battle of Armageddon. What happens before the battle of Armageddon should be your concern. This seven-year period that precedes Armageddon will be as no other period ever experienced by mankind. One third of the things of earth: trees, green grass, seas, creatures in the sea, and ships will be destroyed; and one third of the solar system will also be affected: the sun and moon and the stars. (Revelation Chapter 8). Why one third? Why not one fourth, or even two fifths? Remember when Lucifer sinned that he also caused one third of God’s realm to sin with him. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12:4)
  Satan’s role has always been aggressive. From his first aggressive act in the sanctuary of God’s realm, to his FALL to the earth, his aggressiveness has not lessened . . . for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath. Satan’s battle against Israel is not limited to Israel since he draws the nations of the world into this battle. Sometimes we conveniently forget that the nations of the world will be, and are now, under the control of forces that they cannot see, and they will be moved to gather together to finally put this small nation away once and for all. Their motives will be based on power and the natural resources beneath the land of Israel: oil, and other forms of material wealth. Nations have gone to war in the past over much less then power and oil.
  Revelation Chapter 12 unfolds the hatred that Satan has against God’s people, and the battle of Armageddon will be the result of Satan’s battle plan. Since there is still much to be revealed in this Chapter, it is necessary to prepare the spiritual soil. There are other chapters in the book of the Revelation with details of the destruction of Mystery Babylon the great, the ruination of the earth, the massive devastation of people and land, and the great slaughter of nations, but this Chapter (focused on Israel) is specifically placed as the twelfth (12) Chapter for another reason besides Israel. It also connects to other chapters numbered as the twelfth Chapter. (When you follow every Chapter labeled with the number twelve in the Bible it will tell the story of Israel chronologically and historically, from Genesis Chapter 12, when Abram went into Canaan and built the first altar in the land of promise, and made claim on the land as God had promised, to Chapter 12 of Exodus, where after 430 years of slavery in Egypt, the children of Jacob where set free by the blood of the Passover lamb. The Holy Spirit of God lays out through every Chapter labeled with the number 12 the actual historical record of His nation. It is another form of an historical record hidden as a summary that ties the number 12 to Israel.)
  The last Chapter in the Old Testament that has a twelfth Chapter is in the book of Zechariah. This is a companion piece to Revelation Chapter 12. The battle of the valley of Megiddon and the Lord’s appearance to save His people is revealed in this last 12th Chapter of Zechariah. Here is also another interesting trivia (although there is no such thing as trivial Scripture.) The name Zechariah means ‘God will remember,’ or ‘whom God remembers.’ I’m attempting to prepare the Scripture soil linking the first world war of nations against nations in Genesis Chapter14, to the last world war (before the millennial kingdom of Christ) known as the battle of Armageddon, also known as the end of Babylon the great, and the end of the kingdom of man. Chapter 14 of Genesis (with its twenty-four (24) verses) is Armageddon spiritually and physically. A spiritual synopsis of Genesis Chapter 14: the nations of the East and the kingdom nations on the plains of Jordan face off in a battle as nation against nation; then Israel (seen as Abraham, the father of Israel) and the allies of Israel fight in the northern section of the land of Canaan, the King (the Messiah, the Christ, the High Priest, Melchisedec) appears to Abraham as the Deliverer of the battle between Israel against the forces of the East, and the Gentile allies share with Israel the rewards of the victory. (From the many appearances of God to Abraham, this appearance of Melchisedec to Abraham, is the eighth (8th) appearance in Scripture, spiritually implying a new beginning, the beginning of a thousand-year reign known as the millennial reign of Christ over the earth as King.) There now, do you see the spiritual similarities of the first world war battle with the last world war battle between nations which leads to The End of Man’s Kingdom on Earth? And YES, this all relates to this article: The Kingdom of Man and the Rage of Satan.
  The Bible is a book of the East. Remember, the first documented world war began in the East on the plains of Jordan when four kings of the East from Shinar, Ellasar, Elam and Tidal fought against the five kings of the plain: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela which is Zoar. Although the five kings lost this battle in the vale of Siddim (the salt sea), and although this battle began at the Salt Sea, it did not end there, because Abraham and his cohorts fought against the four kings as they proceeded victoriously to return to their lands in the East. (The actual territories involved in the future battle of Armageddon will be addressed in upcoming articles about the destruction of Babylon: the last woman mentioned in the book of the Revelation.)
  Led by God’s power and guidance, Abraham and his trained servants and confederates (the families of Eshcol, Aner and Mamre) all together probably numbered between one thousand and two thousand warriors based on Abraham’s trained army of 318: probably Eshcol, Aner and Mamre may have had about the same number of men as Abraham had. These forces led by Abraham pursued the four armies of the conquering kings by night into the land of Syria, and there in Hobah (Hobah means ‘the hiding place’) these four massive armies were defeated. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. (Genesis 14:14) And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus. (Genesis 14:15) Abraham was not a pacifist, he knew that in order to enjoy peace, it was necessary to prepare for conflict.
  Three hundred and eighteen (318) TRAINED warriors of Abraham, and the warriors of the allies of Abraham are not numbered. Noticed that Abraham had TRAINED warriors and they were ARMED. Abraham, a man of peace was also a man who knew the value of having trained warriors. Abraham was not a pacifist, he knew that in order to enjoy peace, it was necessary to prepare for conflict. (This concept is difficult for politicians to comprehend.) As these four men: Abraham, Eschol, Aner and Mamre pursued after this great military force in the darkness of night, how to overcome such a great force must have been on their minds. Abraham was God’s sole witness to His glory in the earth at that time. It was Abraham who was God’s testimony to man, and his presence assured those who followed that God was with them, and that God would lead them to victory regardless of the immensity of the opposing forces. God had proven to Abraham that nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with God.
  It was God who had prepared a victorious army moving slowly and tiredly advancing toward home but not aware of the forces gaining on them from behind. Notice the military plan. Abraham pursued them unto Dan. Then there at Dan, Abraham divided his warriors into four groups, encircling the enemy probably into a double pincer move; thus, forcing the enemy into a place called Hobah. (And all of this took place before any military academies were instituted. 
) Then they were all defeated at Hobah, on the left hand of Damascus. God loves details, and there is much more to see in these details. Genesis Chapter 14 is the first documentation of the name of DAN.
Side Note: Dan. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. (Genesis 14:14) And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus. (Genesis 14:15) The Holy Spirit dumps a lot of details in these verses, but why? First, Abraham pursued them unto Dan. Why Dan? The man Dan was not yet born, and the tribe of Dan had not yet been formed. In fact, Abraham was Dan’s great grandfather. The name Dan means ‘to judge,’ ‘mighty one,’ judging, ”domination,’ and ‘one who governs.’ So why did the Holy Spirit of God identify this place with Dan? This area later was given to the tribe of Dan as their inheritance, and it was the most northern section of Israel’s territory. Another connection is that Dan had become idolaters. Since Genesis 14 is the archetype and sets the stage for the battle of Armageddon yet far into the future, what role will Dan play in this last battle? Or will the tribe of Dan have any role at all at the end of man’s kingdom? The following selected verses unveils Dan’s idolatry; Dan is closely aligned to the north even when they camped in the wilderness; it became the place of their inheritance, their border was at Damascus; a corrupt priesthood was established at Dan, thus denying and rebelling against God’s order of the Levitical priesthood in Jerusalem; and Jacob’s prophecy of about Dan at the end of man’s kingdom was that Dan would judge his people, (Genesis 49:16) and Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. (Genesis 49:17) This is not a good sign for Dan, as he is associated with a serpent, and in the age of Israel’s tribulation and great wrath of Satan, this shows that a man from the tribe of Dan will be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path. Will the man of sin, or 6 – 6 – 6, or the Antichrist come from the tribe of Dan? Stay tuned to this station, for an update is pending. Also, the first time that Dan is mentioned is in the first world war battle between Abraham (Israel) and the five armies of the nations of the East.
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. (Genesis 49:16) Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. (Genesis 49:17)
The standard of the camp of Dan [shall be] on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan [shall be] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. (Numbers 2:25)
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. (1st Kings 12:28) And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. (1st Kings 12:29) And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. (1st Kings 12:30)
And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. (Judges 18:30)
Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east [and] west; a [portion for] Dan. (Ezekiel 48:1)
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. (Amos 8:14) This is the last mention of Dan on the entire Bible.
  In Chapter 7 of the book of the Revelation ALL twelve tribes are noted, EXCEPT for ONE tribe: the tribe of DAN is replaced with the tribe of Manasseh. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. (Revelation 7:4) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. (Revelation 14:1) The Holy Spirit of God is very precise in the details, Dan WILL NOT stand on mount Sion (Zion) with the Lamb of God for it has been removed from all blessings and the promises of God to Abraham. It is not coincidental that Dan is deliberately mentioned in the archetype of the 14th Chapter of Genesis dealing with the war of Abraham against the five kings of the East, but the name Dan is not mentioned for being SEALED at The End of the Kingdom of Man. This mighty one, this judge, this one who governs is described in Jacob’s prophecy as a serpent by the way, an adder in the path. This description could also be used to describe Satan. First, he is called a serpent, then he is given a more precise name of an adder, a venous, deadly poisonous snake. I believe that from the tribe of Dan, although not known and unseen and without any genealogical records to verify tribal descent that the man of sin, the 6 – 6 – 6, the Antichrist will be from the line and tribe of Dan. This is another SEEN element that reveals the UNSEEN behind the SEEN. God doesn’t need a genealogical chart to know who belongs to what tribe! I have selected specific verses recorded with the name of Dan or about Dan to show the main or key spiritual connections and traits within the makeup of this tribe. The Antichrist will be from the line and tribe of Dan.
• A specific man (Aholiab) from the tribe of Dan is first noted for wisdom and skill as an engraver, and cunning embroiderer of the weaving and hanging with the Sanctuary of the Tabernacle of God in the wilderness.
And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. (Exodus 38:22) And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. (Exodus 38:23) The only time that the name of Aholiab, of the tribe of Dan, is documented it is connected to the things within the holy place, the Sanctuary of God.
• Whenever the Spirit of God deliberately names a person, He wants to draw attention to that person. The young man who blasphemed the name of God and cursed is disclosed to be of an Egyptian father, and a mother from the tribe of Dan by the name of Shelomith (‘Peaceful,’ and ‘pacifier’ as in comprising). And he had a grandmother (another woman mentioned) by the name of Dibri, (Dibri, which means ‘eloquent,’ and/or ‘my word‘). God places the actions of this young man directly on his mother and grandmother, and not on his father. However, this family group is the result of intermixing. The exodus from Egypt also included many Egyptians among the tribes of Jacob. And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, [even] very much cattle. (Exodus 12:38) And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? (Numbers 11:4) It is obvious that these women were forceful (although named Peaceful) verbally domineering without any regard of God’s dictates. Marrying outside of the tribal Jewish system was strictly forbidden because this led them to being influenced to conform to another system based on paganism. (Deuteronomy 7:3-4; Joshua 23:11-13) This irreverent son was a product of irreverent, profane and women disobedient to God, so why should not this young man also be irreverent, profane and disobedient to God. These character traits were formed early in the tribe of Dan.Â
And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;Â (Leviticus 24:10) And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name [of the LORD], and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) (Leviticus 24:11)
• Chapter 18 in the book of Judges is a great read showing how corruption had overcome the Levitical priesthood. For the tribe of Dan not only set up the graven image, but they bought their own personal tribal priests in total opposition to what God had set up in Shiloh, as His house. This 18th Chapter plays on the unseen in the number structure (9 + 9) pointing to double judgment and finality with the children of Dan.
And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. (Judges 18:30) And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. (Judges 18:31)
• The last time that we have the name of Dan in the Bible is in Amos 8:14, They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. Dan is tied to the sin of Samaria, and their judgment was set, they shall fall, and never rise up again. The sin of Samaria and the sin of Dan was one and the same; they set up false idols and the golden calf. Dan is forever chained to his sin and to his false god. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth.
  It wasn’t a slip of the brush of Moses when he scribed the name of Dan in Genesis 14:14. The first mention of Dan in the Bible places this name at the center point of military action against the forces of the East because Dan, the snake and the adder, (although by another name) will be represented at the center point in the battle of Armageddon. ♦ End of Side Note: Dan.
  Just in case, someone is roaming around at this point in this article looking lost allow me to lead you back before you find your mouse to click away. Why are we here in Genesis Chapter 14, in the first world war recorded in Scripture to Revelation Chapter 12, verses 12 and 13?
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12)
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (Revelation 12:13)
  Two points that I need to reinforce: first, the wrath of Satan has always been focused on Israel, even before the nation of Israel was formed. Abraham was in Satan’s cross hairs because Satan knew that God had appeared to Abram and had called him out of Ur of Chaldees for a specific purpose. Abram as Abraham would become the father of many nations, and the father of God’s nation Israel; therefore, Abraham had to be destroyed. Satan failed. The second point that needs to be reinforced is that everything in Genesis Chapter 14 is historical and prophetical. As you read this Chapter, prophetically connect it to the battle (called Armageddon) at The End of the Age of the Kingdom of Man before the appearance of God’s Christ and the High Priest Melchisedec, and millennial reign of Christ.) The last world war between nations and Israel’s Christ, and before the millennial kingdom and the first world war that culminated in the victory of Abraham and his cohorts are similar in many areas.
  This is where I need to be very specific. The End of the Age of the Kingdom of Man is accomplished through the battle known as the battle of Armageddon where the nations of the world attempt to annihilate Israel, but Christ appears with His saints and completely destroys His enemies. This begins His reign on earth. Thanks to Hollywood script writers Armageddon has been mangled to mean anything that can conjure up in their little minds. This battle also ends the Kingdom of Babylon. Babylon is a city, a location, an area, and a system. What began with Babel, Shinar and Babylon will end in the battle of Armageddon. One reason that I have to be specific is that there are TWO great battles; the FIRST BATTLE is Armageddon, and this battle ends all that Babylon has become by the appearance of Christ (also called the second coming). The second and the LAST BATTLE marks the end of the millennial age, and this is the battle between God and Satan. To sum it all up, Armageddon is the battle between Christ and the nations. The last nameless battle (after the millennial kingdom) is between God and Satan. Keep these two different battles in mind as you read prophecy, do not get them confused, but this also may be another article if we ever get to that portion of Scripture in the future.
  Want to know how something ends, then return to the beginning. Chapter 41 of the book of Isaiah, verses 2 and 3 also adds more information about Abraham in Genesis Chapter 14, the righteous man from the east, that it was God who raised, called and gave him victory over the nations, and made him rule over kings. In this, Abraham, can be said to be a type of Christ in His prophesied victory over the nations, at the time when a remnant of Israel flees into the wilderness. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. (Isaiah 41:2) He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. (Isaiah 41:3)
  Think that we are going to move away from the WRATH of Satan in this post? Not so quick. In order to get the more from Revelation Chapter 12 and Satan’s wrath, let us explore the element of time. Remember that we left off at the 4the travel terminal, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12) Mankind has a problem with time because we are a species created in time, for time, and limited by time. It is almost impossible for our minds to go beyond time. Satan also has a problem with time, although he exists in timelessness, he also faces the limitations of time. Why? Since God created Lucifer, He also created Lucifer’s limitations, and has set a time frame of this dragon’s sinister activities. Wow . . . speak about WRATH . . . when Satan, alias Lucifer, was CAST DOWN he was angry, then when he realized his limitations of time, he got angrier; Satan is an angry devil, a fire foaming dragon, a spitting insane serpent striking out against ALL the inhabiters of the earth. All of mankind is but collateral damage in Satan’s retaliatory war against God and against the nation of God, Israel, and the people of God, the Church. Remember that God did not begin this war. Lucifer and his sinful rebellion against God began this conflict with God. Before God created, HE KNEW, and HE PURPOSED to reveal His love to His creation because GOD IS LOVE and GOD IS LIGHT. Mankind are not chess pieces on a supernatural board game. Mankind was created for a specific purpose. Everything that God has done and does is centered on His Holy Righteousness, in His Holiness through His Holy Love. It is God’s LOVE to His creatures of the SEEN and of the UNSEEN realms that His will and purpose is directed to and for. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1st John 4:10)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. (Romans 8:28)
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:Â (Ephesians 1:11)
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:Â (Ephesians 3:9) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Ephesians 3:10) According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (Ephesians 3:11)
♦
he knoweth that he hath but a short time
  Since the dragon has a short time in God’s frame of time, he had to quickly attack Adam and Eve, he had to quickly attack the first man of faith, Abel; the dragon had to fill the hearts of mankind with vile and evil imaginations, and thus this first world of man was destroyed by water and the earth had to be cleansed from all the evils that man had cursed the earth with. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)
  It is so easy to view God’s time frame while sitting in our comfortable recliners treating time as almost a toy, or a research project, but time has never been a friend to man. Time is an enemy. Time became our enemy when the Federal head of our planet chose to relinquish all that he possessed and all that he could possess in exchange for sin and death. God gave men a long life of time through the evidence of the men of Chapter 5 of the book of Genesis, verse 27, And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. This is part of what Adam forfeited. However, once again a long life is also prophesied for those in the millennial reign of Christ. In the book of Isaiah Chapter 65:20 we have one of the many blessings of this millennial age, but also notice, that long life is attached to obedience and disobedience. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. This principle was the same principal in the long lives of the ancients before the flood.
  Let’s consider God’s time frame. For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:4) The apostle Peter tells us not to be ignorant concerning God’s timetable. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2nd Peter 3:8) I do not want to get waterlogged and sink into exploring this time frame of God. But I also see the necessity of the importance of what Peter wrote by the Spirit of Christ guiding his hand over the parchments of truth. Using this formula of one thousand years being equal to one day, and one day being equal to a thousand years. Today (2022 Gregorian calendar time) we are in the third day, well into the third day reckoned from the birth of Christ more than two thousand years ago. And think of this, we are also at the end of the sixth day. Man was created on the sixth day, and man will face his end on the sixth day reckoning from the beginning of the creation of mankind on earth. Yes, I’m putting a date to man’s creation of earth. Now, don’t go jumping off the flat earth. (That’s a joke. Just in case someone is taking me seriously, the world is a globe, and since the book of Isaiah, the world was known (by the ancients) as ROUND, a CIRCLE!) It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: (Isaiah 40:22) Now, a tidbit for those who are interested in the vastness of the universe . . . think on these verses: Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. (Job 22:14) His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. (Psalm 19:6) Now, where were we? Oh yes, I remember where I lost most of you. I may have lost some readers when I recklessly placed a time period from the beginning of the creation of man being in the 6th millennium time range. (Notice, that I wrote, the creation of man, I did not write from the creation of God’s Supernatural realm, nor the creation of the universe, nor the creation of the world, but from the creation of man. It was at the creation of man that time began. I find it quite fitting that God would end The Kingdom of Man with the same number that He began man’s kingdom on earth . . . . on the sixth day. This day reckoning translates into the thousand-year definition used in the words of the apostle Peter. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2nd Peter 3:8) When you follow the sixth day throughout Scripture, it will also lead you to our being in the six-thousand-year range.
  Satan knoweth that he hath but a short time. He knows that his time frame is six completed days or six thousand full years before he will be bound for a thousand years. Note the events in the following selected verses: the Beast (the man of sin, the 6 -6 -6, the Antichrist, Satan manifested in the man of the earth), and the false prophet, along with the kings of the earth, and their armies are ALL cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (Revelation 19:19)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:20)
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:21)
  What occurs now is very similar to how God acted in the sin of Lucifer when he was first CAST down to the earth. Lucifer’s rogue angels were NOT CAST into the earth with him. Thus, there were no angels in Genesis Chapter 6 intermingling their spiritual nature with the nature of humans. (Which is not possible because man was first created from the dust of the ground with a different body: flesh, bone, blood, spirit and soul. A body especially created to live in time and in space; man’s body cannot exist outside the framework of space.)
  Consider what little we know of those who exist in the realm of the unseen, and the differences between our two realms. Man can reproduce, whereas angels cannot. Man dies; angels cannot die. Man can be redeemed; angels cannot be redeemed. The Holy Spirit informs us that Christ did not take on the nature of angels, but He took on the seed of Abraham. See what the Holy Spirit of God did in Hebrews 2:14 -16? Angels have a nature of their own, and mankind has a separate nature, and there is also a divine nature. Hebrews 2:16 teaches that Christ did not come in the sin nature of Adam, but Christ took on Him the seed of Abraham. Christ is never associated with Adam in Scripture in any way as having the nature of Adam, for Christ was that holy thing in the womb of Mary because God cannot be removed or separated from His own holiness.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;Â (Hebrews 2:14)
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Hebrews 2:15)
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. (Hebrews 2:16)
  As the divine nature cannot be joined with human nature, and human nature cannot be joined with the divine nature, so, also, the nature of angels cannot be joined with divine nature, nor can the nature of angels be joined with the nature of man. Man has been promised to become partakers of the divine nature through a new birth, a new creation, a new man born by the will of God. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)　
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2nd Peter 1:4)　
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24)　
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2nd Corinthians 5:17)　
  The FALLACY that humans sexually mixed with angels because the word of God defines three separate natures: the sin nature of man in the natural man; the nature of angels, and the divine nature, thus, this mixing of humans and angels is a FALLACY, it is a LIE; it is a cop-out for man’s inherent nature of sin, it is man’s refusal to accept that his DNA, his own sin nature, has always been his REAL problem. Believing that ‘space aliens,’ or ‘bad angels’ sexually mixed with mankind tells one thing about those who believe this myth: they think about sex too much! Chapter 6 of Genesis is not about angels it is about those marked by Cain’s DNA. God put a mark on Cain. What was this mark? To read about the mark that God placed on Cain, and therefore, this mark followed in Cain’s descendants – CLICK HERE.Â
  God first judges men of the earth. Then God turns His attention to Satan, alias Lucifer, and separates Satan from his willing pawns, and then, Satan is bound for a period of time to wait for his very special judgment.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Revelation 20:1)
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (Revelation 20:2)　
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (Revelation 20:2)
  Although Satan knows that he hath but a short time, man refuses to know. Man is at this very second planning to RESET time. He believes that it is within his power to control all of humanity if humanity can be taxed more. Thinking that in refusing to acknowledge the existence of God; ergo, there is no God. Also, by stating that they are gods; ergo, there are gods. And by controlling all the governments of the world, and all the financial institutions this makes them little gods among bigger gods. The so-called pandemic which I call the PLANdemic was merely the beginning of their test to see if they could control the masses through a pre-planned project of fear. It worked. I rarely mention or write quotes from those who brazenly proclaim to be enemies of the peoples of this globe. But too many people do not know who their enemies are because they do not want to know. Just as they do not want to know that their time on earth is SHORT. These ‘I DIDN’T KNOW THAT’ people live in dark cookie jars, and after stealing all the cookies, they are afraid to face the penetrating rays of the SON.
  Understand and know that the enemies of God are visibly attacking God and His people, for instance, Y. N. H. is the author of a book titled, “The Future of Humans Becoming Gods.” While sitting on a panel discussion as a spokesperson for WEF (World Economic Forum) Y. N. H. said, “we will become gods, because we will create inorganic life that is “better” and, “What kind of gods will we be?” Satan has put out a call for all of his servants to come forward and to reveal themselves as saviors of mankind, and of the planet because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Since Satan knows that his time is limited, how is it that you don’t know that your time is also short?
  You want to know what’s going to happen at The End of the Kingdom of Man? Well, here it is . . . . men pretend to be leaders legally appointed; and voters pretend that the Pretender is not a pretender, and news readers pretend that they are reading news not propaganda, and religionists pretend that they are serving God and not money, and the centers for disease prevention pretend that they did not pay for nor helped create a virus, and the pharmaceutical companies pretend that they have created a vaccine that is safe and effective, and environmentalists pretend that they can control things that by their very nature constantly change, and conservationists pretend that birds can safely fly through wind farms, and philosophers pretend that their thoughts are golden French horns, and women pretend that although they can lay they cannot lie, and men pretend that they can have babies, and children pretend that they are more intelligent and smarter than adults, and scientists pretend that money does not affect their research, and politicians pretend that they are not traitors to their nation, and celebrities pretend that they are important, and the trinity of evil: the false prophet, the beast and Satan pretend that they are the envy of the Godhead.
  Satan’s best work was accomplished in the evil imaginations of men: to pretend that they are more than they are. The antediluvian world was destroyed because of the evil imaginations of mankind. Remember that this verse is the basis for all the articles in the series of Men of Renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.(Genesis 6:5) Satan is an expert counterfeiter, impersonator, imitator, forger, and pretender because he is not capable of creating. So, therefore, Satan’s man of sin, the 6 – 6- 6, the Antichrist, the beast will also become The Great Pretender.
Men of renown is a companion piece to Giants in the Earth series.
