Revealed! Rome won't be the revised empire.

Last days preachers have been preaching for over 600 years that Rome is the empire that the Apostle John wrote about in the Book of Revelation. However, as I have pointed out the problem with that analogy is that John wrote that the kingdom that would be had been before and the one that is, is not. Hmmm. Die hard last day technicians argue saying this interpretation  has been taught for over 600 years and everyone accepts this as the correct teaching. Okay, well it wasn't right teaching. Why? Because, the Apostle John's revelation given him was and is connected to Daniel. I am sure we can all agree on that, right? The Lord gave Daniel the vision and then sealed the understanding until the right time period. That time period has just occurred. However, what if I could show you that Jesus himself identified the Antichrist government? Would that make a difference? Let us progress down the path of revelation that will make a believer out of you and soundly prove the Antichrist government once and for all.

Mat 16:15  He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" 
Your revelation of Christ is so very important to understanding the scriptures. Why do so many Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah? Because of how they view him. One of the things that I can say, is that God has used people that on the outward appearance are overlooked. I remember as a kid we would choose sides in a ball game. Two captains were chosen who would then begin the selection process of players for each opposing side. You never wanted to be the last player chosen. Funny how we still use this process today. We call it the draft. The selection process of players were always quick in the beginning and then slowed at the end. If you were one of the last players, the captains would talk back and forth to the good players on their team, deciding who to pick of the few remaining players. Now, imagine if God was one of the captains choosing members. He would be choosing all of these bad players while the other captain would be laughing at the choices of God. You can see this through the entire bible.

 The story of David and Goliath the giant, exemplifies the difference of choices between men and God. The Jews had chosen Saul to be their king. Saul had been hiding from the giant, Goliath. God sent in His choice for king of Israel. Not only, did Israel laugh and mock the choice of God but so did Goliath. All throughout the historical writings of the Bible we see that God chose those that we would not choose. What did the scriptures reveal about the coming Messiah?
Isa 53:2  For He comes up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground; He has no form nor majesty that we should see Him, nor an appearance that we should desire Him. 

Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as it were a hiding of faces from Him, He being despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Like David, when Jesus arrived on the scene He didn't arrive as the Majestic King that Israel was looking for. As a conquered nation they anticipated their Messiah would arrive with much fanfare and a kingdom of warriors to repel those that were the enemy of Israel. Jesus arrives with no majestic kingdom, no warriors and is headed to a cross at Calvary. Only when the disciples communicated to Jesus who they believed Him to be, were they a witness to His majestic transformation on a mountain. There is an explanation in Hebrews that tells us why the transformation of Christ on the mountain only occurred after the sharing of their faith.      Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.                                It is only when you understand who Jesus is will the transformation of the Majestic King and his government be revealed. When Peter told Jesus his belief of who Jesus was are we going to be privy to some of the most exciting revelations that have been hidden now for over 2,000 years.
Mat 16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 

Not only, did Peter see Jesus as the Christ, but also as the  Son of a Living God! What was the reaction of Jesus?
Mat 16:17  Jesus answered and said to him, You are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in Heaven. 

Mat 16:18  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
No one on the Earth had this revelation that Peter just explained to Jesus. Jesus told Peter that he was empowered with a great blessing because flesh and blood did not reveal this to him. No, this revelation came from heaven the very place that the Father of Jesus resided! Jesus did something that had not been done for a long time. I remember when Jacob wrestled with an Angel for a blessing. What was the blessing? A name change! Jacob became Israel. Here Jesus conveyed a blessing on Simon for obtaining this revelation. That blessing? Yes a name change to Peter or Petrus meaning rock. Jesus continued that on this rock, okay let's stop there. What rock? The name change? No. The revelation that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of a living God! This revelation would be the ROCK of foundation that He would build his CHURCH upon. Now that we have settled this let us go to the next exciting revelation. The term Church. Strong's explains that the word Church is ek-klay-see'-ah
From a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564; a calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): - assembly, church.
Isn't it interesting that Jesus has chosen a word that is a compound or derivative of two words? We have taken the explanation of the term church as a religious congregation or synagogue. So, Jesus is telling His disciples this revelation is what I will build my synagogue upon? Why didn't He just say that? Jesus had been traveling from Synagogue to Synagogue as it is recorded in the scriptures. Why didn't Jesus just say synagogue? Because, Church was not meant to describe a religious gathering. This was the first time that this term was used in scripture. When the disciples heard this term they began to get excited. It was what they expected from the Messiah. The term church comes from the Romans. The term church is a form of government. The term church has never been interpreted. When Romans referred to a Church it was the government of the Emperor. This government would take the visions, dreams and ideas of the Emperor and convey them to the senate.  

Jesus explained to the disciples that His government would be established on the foundational revelation that He was not only the Messiah, but also the Son of the Living God! He continued saying the gates of hell would not prevail against His government. The gates of hell is not an allegory for something else. To break this down we have to go back to the times that Jesus was living in. A kingdom in those days were walled. Entrance into the kingdom was through the gates. A judge normally sat at the gates to resolve disputes. Normally, a man of righteous behavior was one that was selected. 
Gen 19:1  And there came two angels to Sodom at evening. And Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. And Lot rose up to meet them when he saw them. And he bowed himself with his face toward the ground,
The gates of hell would be the entrance to the kingdom of the devil. There at the gates would all men be judged. But, Jesus declared to His disciples that my government would not be overcome by hells judgements. His kingdom would bind the judgements of hell by the sacrifice of Jesus that would bring all mankind into a right standing with the Living God. Through the blood sacrifice of Jesus and the understanding of who He is would be the victorious and holy government of the Son of God.

Today, we have indoctrinated ourselves with the thought process that church is a religious assembly. For the most part, that is what it is. However, with the understood knowledge of what Jesus was referring to we are about to see a great and powerful revelation. In our understanding, there were many churches from Israel to Samaria, all the way to Pergamos in the province of Asia. However, when John had the vision of the Lord standing amongst the candlesticks the Lord only talked about the 7 churches. What were the 7 churches? The 7 divisional government of Jesus. What were the 7 churches doing in Asia? Did the Holy Spirit send the Apostles and Evangelists there? Yes. So these churches were assigned for this area for a purpose. What was the purpose?

They were there to oppose the gates of hell! Just as Jesus had foretold His disciples. This was the kingdom that the devil would rule from. In fact when you look at the words of Jesus you will see another astounding fact. 
Rev 2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write: He who has the sharp sword with two edges says these things. 

Rev 2:13  I know your works, and where you live, even where Satan's seat is . 
Well, if Rome was the government of the Antichrist then why is Satan's seat in Pergamos? Shouldn't the gates of hell be in Rome? Jesus identifies the gates of hell and where this Antichrist kingdom would be. Turkey! That's right this is where the Ottoman Empire would rule from for over 600 years. It was a two sided government consisting of a blasphemous religion called Islam. The two sides would be Sunni, the strongest, and Shi'ite the weaker. These would rule until their demise in 1922. This broken empire would splinter into 9 factions until 2011. In 2011, President Obama and a Christian Minister by the name of Rick Warren would bring to life the 10th and final faction, Chrislam. The 10 divisional government of the Antichrist is now set for it's showdown against the Holy government of Jesus Christ. Why has this been revealed today? Because, you have a place in this battle. You have a region you belong to in this 7 divisional government of Christ. Who do you say that Jesus is? He wants to know. Your knowledge of who He is, His government, who you are, and the location of the region you are assigned to will identify your place and your enemy. Understand, that though there are battles and wars raging across this land, the real battle is in the heavenlies. Islam denies the trinity. Islam denies Jesus as the Messiah and as the Son of God. Islam is opposed to Christianity and preaches beheading for followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the book of Revelation it explains that Christians will be martyred by beheading through the unholy religion of the Antichrist. There is only one religion that practices these evil actions today. Islam!  Jesus explained in order to plunder the house of the strongman, he must be bound first. You cannot bind him if you cannot find him.
