9 ADDITIONAL ISSUES ON THE END TIME IN THE O.D. Additional Issues about the End Time in Matt 24:35--25:46 1a What Is the Time of Noah Like? 24: b Is the Concept of Rapture Valid? 24: a Why Should People Get Ready? 24: b What Is the Essence of Being Ready? 25:1-13 3a 3b What Is the Standard for Judging the Jews at the End of the Tribulation? What Is the Standard for Judging the Gentiles at the End of the Tribulation? 25: :31-46

10 THE TIME OF NOAH MENTIONED 37 Again Jesus said to his disciples: As in the days of Noahso will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 38 Just as before the flood, they were eating, drinking, being fruitful, and multiplying until the day when Noah entered the ark. 39 They did not know until the flood came upon them and destroyed them; so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Hebrew Matthew 24:37-39) The Day of the Son of Man Is the Time Near the 2 nd Coming of Christ in Glory.

11 THE TIME OF NOAH MENTIONED 37 "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Greek Matthew 24:37-39 NAU) Jesus Major Point Was that the People Were Unaware of the Coming Disaster.

12 CREATION AND THE AGE OF INNOCENCE Biblical Account of the Beginning Creation: Nisan 1, 3893 B.C. Adam: from the Earth/Clay/Dust Eve: Mother of All (Subsequent Human) Lives Serpent: Lucifer (Lt: Light Carrier = Morning Star in Isa 14:1) = Satan (Accuser) = Devil (Enemy). Place: Garden of Eden (Paradise) Time: Age of Innocence (Short, < a Month) First Son: Cain (Farmer), Conceived/Born after the Fall

13 CREATION AND THE AGE OF INNOCENCE Chinese Account of the Beginning: Version 1 ( 屈原 天问 in Tian Wen (Questions to Heaven), by Qu Yuan, c.500 B.C.): Heaven (God) Made Andeng (Adam) King of the World; Heaven (God) Created the Body of Nüwa (A Woman, Named Havah = Eve). Version 2 (Tombs Carvings since Han Dynasty, c.200 B.C.): Fuxi (Fallen Light = Lucifer) + Nüwa/Eve Mated in Serpent Bodies and Produced Humans (Children of the Dragon), Each Was Holding a Square Ruler and a Compass. This Is Similar to the Western Hermetic Occult Theosophy. This also Reveals that the Symbols in Freemasonry Go back to the Origin of Humanity.

15 ORIGIN OF THE SYMBOLS OF FREEMASONRY

16 CREATION AND THE AGE OF INNOCENCE Account of the Beginning in Greek Mythology: Chaos => Uranus (Heaven) + Gaia (Earth) => Cronus (Adam?, a Titan [Lord, Giant]), Rhea, Iapetus (Japheth?), Phoebe (Light), Oceanus (Sea) Cronus (Adam?) + Rhea (Eve?) => Zeus (Cain?), Hera, Hestia (Hearth), Demeter (Hunting), Poseidon (Sea), Hades (Hell) Zeus (Cain?) Overthrow Cronus by Violence Zeus => Athena (Wisdom), Hephaestus (Smith) Zeus + Hera => Ares (War), Hebe (Youth) The Ages of Man: Golden, Silver, Bronze, Heroic, Iron.

17 CREATION AND THE AGE OF INNOCENCE Account of the Beginning in Babylonian Mythology: An (Heaven) and Ki (Earth) => Enlil (Transcendent Aspect of An: Wind, Storm = Adam?) Enki (Immanent Aspect of An: Wisdom, Magic = Lucifer?). Enki Created Man from Dirt, with Defects The Son of Enki: Marduk ( = Cain?) He Slayed Tiamat (Sea, Disorder) and Established the World Order When the gods Were Bothered by the Noise of Men on the Earth, They Created the Great Flood. Enki Advised Gilgamesh (Noah) to Made a Boat to Survive the Flood.

18 EARLY HUMANITY Cain s Children Reproduced in c.18 Years/Generation, and in 130 Years (When Seth Was Born, Gen 5:3), There Were Already 7 Generations of Cainites: Enoch (Dedication [of City in His Name]) Irad (Wild Donkey: Character from City Life?) Mehujael (Priest of God: Self-Made Liberal Religion) Methushael (People of God: All Are Saved, No Condemnation for Sin) Lamech (Conqueror): Bully (Justified Murder) and Adulterer (Justified Polygamy). Jabal (a Shepherd), Jubal (a Musician) and Tubal Cain (a Black Smith) There Was Division of Labor and High Civilization.

19 EARLY HUMANITY The Image of God (with Faith in the Gospel of the Promised Messiah, the Son of Woman ) Passed on through Seth: Seth (Replacement [of the Murdered Abel]) Enosh (Weak): Began to Call on the Name of God (Pray) Cainan (Like Cain, but Not Cain) Mahalalel (Praise God) Jared (Rise, Servant) Enoch (Dedication [to Serve God]) Methuselah (Man of Weapon = after Him Judgment, Died in the Year of the Flood) Lamech (Conqueror [of Sin]) Noah (Comfort)

20 THE TIME OF NOAH IN GENESIS 6:1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 The Nephilimwere on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Gen. 6:1-4 NAU)

21 NEPHILIM AFTERWARDS 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it." 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us." 32 So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. 33 "There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." (Num. 13:30-33 NAU)

22 GIANTS AFTERWARDS 15 Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary. 16 Then Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of the giant raphaר פ א) or,( raphahר פ ה the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, was girded with a new sword, and he intended to kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel." 18 Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of the giant.(2 Sam. 21:15-18 NAU)

23 GIANTS AFTERWARDS 19 There was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 20 There was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also had been born to the giant. 21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down. 22 These four were born to the giantin Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. (2 Sam. 21:19-22 NAU)

24 GIANTS AFTERWARDS 4 Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued. 5 And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 6 Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great staturewho had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants. 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him. 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. (1 Chr. 20:4-8 NAU)

25 NEPHILIM AND GIANTS EXPLAINED The Purpose of Creation: God Is Triune (Three in One): Father, Son, Holy Spirit God Created to Expand Love in the Trinity God Created three Kinds of Beings: The Universe (Impersonal Matter) as the Supply The Angels (Personal Spirits) as Servants The Humans (Personal Bodily Souls) as Children God s Design for the Children: Children are Less in Authority than the Servants Children Who Unite (by Faith) with the Eternal Son Have Sonship, Become Heirs of the Household/Kingdom.

26 NEPHILIM AND GIANTS EXPLAINED The Angels Are Servants of the Elect for Salvation: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? (Heb. 1:14 NAU) The Sons/Heirs Are Greater in Authority than the Servants. One of the three Archangels (Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel) Felt Jealous of God s Design for Men (Isa 14:12ff, Ezek 28:12ff.). Lucifer Rebelled and Became Satan (the Accuser) and the Devil (Arch-enemy). 1/3 of the Angels Rebelled and Became Demons (Spirits) Some Took Bodies and Became Nephilim (Fallen Ones) Some Nephilim Are Giants

27 NEPHILIM AND ALIENS/ET LINKED The Great Flood Was Meant to Wipe Out the Power of the Nephilim over Mankind. Some Nephilim Survived by Flying Away by High Tech Spaceship (Saucers). They Came Back at the End Time and Claim to Be Aliens/Extraterrestrials, e.g. The Nordics, Who Are Benevolent to Men The Greys/Whites, Who Use Men but Exchange Technology The Reptilians/Saurians, Who Deceive Men Some Nephilim Survived by Going Underground (Antarctica?) Some Nephilim DNA Passed in Humanity through the Married Relatives of Noah s Sons.

28 BE WARE OF DECEPTION When the Number of the Church Is Fulfilled, the Old Universe Will Be Wrapped Up Like Old Cloths and Burned by God. Even the Nephilim/Aliens Who Are the Most Benevolent to Men Are Serving Their Own Interest by Trying to Prevent the Fulfilling of the Number of the Church. Some Will Teach That They Are Our Creators; Some Will Teach a New Age Philosophy. None Work for Christ. The Authority as the Sons/Heir with Christ in the Household of God Is Our Protection against the Abductions, Bullying and Deceptions.
