Not only France
With the understanding of the symbolism of Revelation and the knowledge that we are near the end time there is a connection, but more accurately the fall of the Christian kings world –wide and the terror occurring in many lands. It started with 9/11.
Why this terror is happening
When God, I believe, loosed the first four seals of the scroll in 1996, we could not know that the world would experience the terror that we are seeing in many nations.
With the knowledge, I believe given me through the Divine Intercession, that we are near the end time, one can better understand why these things are happening at the present time. Revelation reveals that there is a God in control, that there always has been a God in control - but unfortunately the modern citizens of the world no longer have their faith or the knowledge of Revelation. They do not get the big picture. Your question is outrageous to them.
Revelation
Revelation has a very blunt way of describing the confusion that is going to prevail in the time before the Return. The nations are not going to think clearly, they will be as if intoxicated or drunk. The words “cup filled with wine of the fury of his wrath” indicates symbolically that the nations no longer adhere to their Christian faith and no longer seek forgiveness for their sins through the sacrament of the wine and bread in Holy Communion. This has made God angry and the nations will become confused.
Rev 16:19
Revelation 16:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
There is a connection between the fall of the Bastille (1789) and the killing of the Christian king and the terror that the world is experiencing. But one can only understand this through faith and knowledge and understanding of what God and Jesus Christ reveal in the great book Revelation.
The simplest way to try to explain this ‘connection’ is to take the examples of God’s actions in the Old Testament. When the ancient Israelites started worshipping idols and turned away from the Commandments God brought their enemies upon them and they were overrun, taken as slaves or banished into exile.
Scripture reveals the power of God
This is what is happening at the present time to the nations of the globe. What must be stressed is that the words of Scripture have power. Mankind has forgotten the power of God especially when he is angry.
The rider on the white horse wearing the crown and carrying the bow
Revelation 6:2New International Version (NIV)
2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
In Revelation the image of the rider on the white horse and wearing the crown and carrying the bow (Rev 6:2) is symbolic of the unity that God brought about in the formation of the Christian faith within the nations over two thousand years. The kings were converted to the faith and so upheld the principals of the faith and the Commandments of God.
History reveals how all the kings of the nations of Europe were converted to the Christian faith and how from these nations the faith spread to the ends of the earth.
The image of the beast out of the sea
Rev 13:1-2
13 The dragon[ stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
Readers will have to read the full explanation of this verse on the website. The image of the beast out of the sea is symbolic of the leadership of the Christian nations that were influenced by the power of evil to undermine the authority of honouring and obeying the laws of God that was vested in the unity of Church and State in the Christian nations.
The fall of the Christian king
With the fall of the Bastille and the killing of the king of France (but also the destruction of the Christian faith vested in the rule of the kings in history) there was put in place a rule of the people. So angry were the nations with the kings and the Church that the death of the unity of Church and State was soon forgotten.
As Revelation puts it in Rev 13:12 “fatal wound had been healed”.
Revelation 13:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
But Revelation reveals that God knows the nature of man and that mankind would in history take this course.
Rev 17:17
The royal authority of the king would be given to man who would be overtaken by the “beast” or Satan
Revelation 17:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled.
Poking fun at the Church and faith
So the nations have since the time of the destruction of the Christian kings found much freedom. Let us take as an example the mocking of God and faith. It is also according to modern man OK to mock faith and God.
What does the New Testament say about mocking God?
Galatians 6:7-8New International Version (NIV)
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Violence
Revelation predicts the violence that we are seeing at the present time
Rev 18:21
21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:
“With such violence
the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,
never to be found again.
The “great city of Babylon” I believe refers symbolically to “Babylon “ in Scripture, but what is taking place in the Middle East at the present time it seems also Baghdad. Revelation extends the symbolism of Babylon to the nations of the entire earth. It seems terror and violence is going to play a role in the fall of the nations of the globe.
The big picture.
Revelation gives the big picture. Therefore someone without the knowledge of Revelation would scorn your question. This is why God has revealed the symbolism of Revelation at the beginning of the twenty-first century. We do not have to look at the terror in the world as inexplicable.
We know there is a God in control. All nations and peoples should take note and keep His Commandments. Can we still find peace? The time is near.
Revelation reveals another reason why this is happening
God has not forgotten the Christians who died for their faith in the past. How far removed modern man has become from God. Can they fathom or understand this?
Revelation 18:23-24New International Version (NIV)
23 The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world’s important people.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,
of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
The consolation of the Holy Spirit through the words of Scripture to all who are suffering or grieving.
