"The time has come", says the Lord Jesus.
The Lord gave me a vison a few months ago, that I have somewhere on this page, about the Son of God calling the Devil out of the Abyss for a fight. For the fight of the Ages called the Battle of Armageddon (Rev. 19).
At that time of the vision a few months ago, the Lord was preparing me for the Rapture. I was thinking that the Rapture was going to happen in a few weeks. It was at this time that the Lord reminded me, also besides via the vision, of a Scripture passage that says that the antichrist must first be revealed before the Rapture can happen. The Lord reminded me of the Scripture passage through a Preacher on TBN. This vision bears repeating today.
The Lord Jesus Is On Earth Today to Help You Get Ready For the Rapture
I remember now that this vision happened about the time that I got a message that I titled on this page, "A Prophecy to This World From The Lord Jesus Christ About Not Repenting and Hell". It is about a night when the Lord Jesus stepped down from His Throne in Heaven to check on His Church. He came to see if I was ready for the Rapture, but I was asleep. I wasn't the only one that wasn't ready to meet the Lord. The Lord cried and I felt like I died because His church was not prepared for the Rapture. If He had come that night in the Rapture, I and a lot of other sleeping Christians would not have made the Rapture (Mt. 24:43-51).
In this message, the Lord wants His Church to know today that He is not in Heaven. That, like He did for the Apostle Paul's salvation (Acts 9), He has came down from His Throne to earth to prepare His Bride for the Rapture with strong rebuke. After He visited His Church, He called the Devil up for a fight for His people.
Then last month, I had a vision of the Lord Jesus praying for me in my room. I made it into a message on this page I titled "I saw the Lord". And the Angel of the Lord told me in that message that the reason that the Lord Jesus was letting me see Him, was because He wants me to tell you, His people, that He is on earth at this season, and to call upon Him for prayer to prepare you for the Rapture. Ask the Lord Jesus to come pray for you at your home or church! This is a special season of Holy Ghost dunamis power! The Lord Jesus is back to praying for His Church after He called out Satan.
The Vision
I saw the Lord Jesus, the resurrected and living Son of God, from behind, stooping over and calling Satan at the entrance to the Abyss. Jesus was dressed in a long bluish/white cloak with the hood over His head. Bluish/ white is the ghostly color of ghosts. The Lord Jesus was flesh in the Spirit, or, a human body walking in the astral plane around ghosts.
The Lord Jesus Is A Man of War
Revelation 19:11-16 Authorized (King James) Version 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
The Lord Jesus is a man of war. He sounds like an austere man (Lk. 11:19-27). Like the tough prison gangleaders I used to hear in California prisons back in the days of my conversion. I'm not saying that the Lord Jesus talks like a gang leader. But that He is not scared of the evil one like they are not scared of people. I used to hear the gangleaders in prison in California sounding like God.
Not scared of anyone
Not scared of cops or other gangs
Giving orders
Killing enemies without fear of retaliation

The Lord Jesus was taunting the Devil, and the Devil was hearing Him in the Abyss. This is what I heard the Son of God say to the Devil:
"It's time. The hour has come. Satan. Come up here! Come, take the title as My "Most Violent Archangel!" Come, Prince of the world, from the bottomless pit and fight Me for the souls of the world!"
The Lord Jesus was standing on the seashore dressed in that bluish/white cloak. The train of His cloak was very long, and covered the seashore behind Him (Isa. 6:1-3). The Holy Spirit took the spirit of my mind upon the words of the Lord Jesus (quoted above) when He called the Devil out of the Abyss, all the way down into the sea, and all the way to the bottom of the sea, and there was a black tunnel that curved right. And the Angel of the Lord said,
"This is the entrance to the Abyss".
The entrance curved to the right and went down further. Down, down, down in blackness. No light. And the Angel of the Lord said,
"This is Satan's Lair".
The Abyss looks like a long black snake. And there lay a huge black snake. Sleeping on the rock. I could see in the dark somehow. There is no water in the bottomless pit, which is under the seas. Satan's Lair in the Abyss looks like a cavern or den. And the Angel of the Lord said,
"This is Satan. He likes it down here because God is not here {he says that there is no God - Ps. 14:1/ Isa. 44:6} and he sleeps. He sleeps for weeks and months and years. Men see him here, but he scares them and they leave. If he catches one, he eats him alive".
An Angel of the Lord told me that the dead sleep all the time like this because they have not the life of God in them to be happy and enjoy life (Ps. 16:10, 11). The dead escape their misery by sleeping (Ps. 9:17).
I saw the Devil open its eyes when he heard the Lord Jesus taunting and provoking him to come up and fight Him for the world. Yes, the Devil looked at me when he opened his eyes. The Devil said to the Lord Jesus,
"I will" (Isa. 28).
But he lay there. I saw the Lord Jesus look at me and say,
"I have to bring him up to fight with My Word because he's lazy".
The Lord Jesus kept calling Satan to the seashore for a fight. Finally, I heard the Devil, that Ancient Serpent called Satan and Leviathan, wake up and raise its weary head and start cussing at the Lord Jesus. Cussing like a nut. Blaspheming the Lord's Name, the Holy Ghost, His Holy Temple, His Blood and those that reside in heaven.
The Devil is not a fish. That is not why he lives under the ocean. There was no water in his lair in the bottomless pit. The bottomless pit cannot contain water because it is a lake of fire (Rev. 9:1-11). The Devil is an Angel. He can shapeshift because he is a ghost. Satan is a creature that can live in water, air, fire and earth. It lives under the earth in the seas to hide from the world.
Who Is Satan?
Satan, is the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:3, 4). He is god of the four elements. The four elements are fire, water, earth and air. His names are Satan, Leviathan, Belial and Lucifer. Satan is the god of the fire element (Zech. 3:2). Leviathan is the god of the water element (Gen. 3/ Isa. 27:1/ Rev. 12:9). Belial is the god of the earth (dirt) element (2 Sam. 23:6). And Lucifer is the god of the air element (Eph. 2:2). This is why the Lord Jesus called Satan the prince of the world above in His call to for him to come out of the Abyss and fight Him for the world. The Lord Jesus calls Satan the prince of the world (Jn. 16:11). It is also why Eph. 2:2 calls him the prince of the power of the air. He is the Prince Lucifer. The expelled Regent of the Lord of Hosts, the Tetragrammaton. Those are four names of the Devil.
Lucifer is the god of the power of the air element. Which means that the Dragon Leviathan in the seas can also fly besides swim. Leviathan is the god of the water element. There is a place under the earth in the seas where there is no water. This is where the dead reside (Rev. 5:13). It is Satan's Lair in the Abyss.
So, the Lord wants me to tell you that the time has come for the Antichrist to be revealed so that He can take us to heaven to be with Him forever in the Rapture. The Lord told me that His motive in calling Satan out of the Abyss is to take us to heaven with Him in the Rapture. The Lord isn't calling Satan out to meet him. He wants to meet us Christians in the Rapture, or, in the First Resurrection, to celebrate life with us forever (Lk. 12:34-40). Not to meet the Devil.
The Devil Lives In the Sea
The Coming of Lucifer (Satan - the god of fire under the earth and seas) And His Two Sons
The Antichrist (Politics - Leviathan the god Under the Seas) And the False Prophet (Religion - Belial the god under the earth (dirt)
Revelation 13 Authorized (King James) Version 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, 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. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
After the Lord Jesus Calls the Devil Out Of the Abyss And Beats Him Up In Revelation 19,
He throws All Three Back Into the Abyss, the Lake Of Fire, Forever
Revelation 20 Authorized (King James) Version 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 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. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The Lord's Invitation to the Rapture
Luke 12:34-40 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 34 {And Jesus said} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36 and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
The Lord says that He wants to come back for His church right now. But He first has to call the Devil out of the Abyss. The Devil has to be brought up first to fight in the Battle of Armageddon before we can be called by the Lord Jesus to the Rapture and be caught up together with the dead in Christ to meet the Lord in the air. So the Lord Jesus told me today to title this message "The Time has Come".
What time is it? It's time for the Rapture by revealing the Antichrist, as Scripture prophesied. Adore the Lord Jesus for this, saints.
The Scripture Passage
The Apostle Paul writing...
2 Thessalonians 2 Authorized (King James) Version 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
See also this passage in the Living Bible Translation:
2 Thessalonians 2 Living Bible 1-2 And now, what about the coming again of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to meet him? Please don’t be upset and excited, dear brothers, by the rumor that this day of the Lord has already begun. If you hear of people having visions and special messages from God about this, or letters that are supposed to have come from me, don’t believe them. 3 Don’t be carried away and deceived regardless of what they say. For that day will not come until two things happen: first, there will be a time of great rebellion against God, and then the man of rebellion will come—the son of hell. 4 He will defy every god there is and tear down every other object of adoration and worship. He will go in and sit as God in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God. 5 Don’t you remember that I told you this when I was with you? 6 And you know what is keeping him from being here already; for he can come only when his time is ready. 7 As for the work this man of rebellion and hell will do when he comes, it is already going on,[a] but he himself will not come until the one who is holding him back steps out of the way. 8 Then this wicked one will appear, whom the Lord Jesus will burn up with the breath of his mouth and destroy by his presence when he returns. 9 This man of sin will come as Satan’s tool, full of satanic power, and will trick everyone with strange demonstrations, and will do great miracles. 10 He will completely fool those who are on their way to hell because they have said no to the Truth; they have refused to believe it and love it and let it save them, 11 so God will allow them to believe lies with all their hearts, 12 and all of them will be justly judged for believing falsehood, refusing the Truth, and enjoying their sins. 13 But we must forever give thanks to God for you, our brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose from the very first to give you salvation,[b] cleansing you by the work of the Holy Spirit and by your trusting in the Truth. 14 Through us he told you the Good News. Through us he called you to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 With all these things in mind, dear brothers, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the truth that we taught you in our letters and during the time we were with you. 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and hope, which we don’t deserve, 17 comfort your hearts with all comfort, and help you in every good thing you say and do.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 the work . . . is already going on, literally, “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work.”
2 Thessalonians 2:13 because God chose from the very first to give you salvation, or “because God chose you to be among the first to believe.”
The Rapture
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be "caught up" {Latin Vulgate - "Rapturo" or "Rapio". English "The Rapture". In Spanish, the word "rapio" means "fast", or, "quickly". To "hurry".} together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The Rapture Is the First Resurrection of the Dead Who Are In Christ
1 Corinthians 15:35-58 Authorized (King James) Version 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Revelation 20 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 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. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The Second Resurrection - the Second Death - Of the Dead Not In Christ
Revelation 20:7-15
Authorized (King James) Version
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second {resurrection} death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The Battle of Armageddon
Revelation 19 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come {the Rapture}, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb {the Rapture}. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God {the Rapture}; 18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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.
The Lord Jesus is going to win this fight, as prophesied above in Revelation 19. The Lord Jesus is going to fight, then get married. He's fighting the Devil for us, His Bride.
The Serpent is mad. Why? Because he has to do what the Lord says. That's the power he wants.
"But he is incapable of deeming the world his own like God's Son has, due to his immeasurable incompetence as 'King and Lord of this earth'", said the Lord. "He's losing that title to Me", says the Spirit of Jesus for this fight!
The Lord Jesus is starting a war with Satan. It is the war to end all wars. The Battle of Armageddon. The Lord Jesus is bullying the Devil. He's going to fight for the prize His "Most Violent Archangel". The Lord Jesus is God. God is austere. He's fearless. God will not only beat up the most violent of His creations, the Devil, He will also judge and beat His wicked servants (See Matthew chapters 24 and 25).
Today, Jesus is graceful to our hopeless sinful condition (Romans chapters 5 thru 8). But after the Age of Grace is done at the time of the Rapture, God will go back to beating and killing the human race for sin like He did in the Old Testament, because at that time in the near future, all that can be saved, will be saved. The rest will be used as a bonfire and food for the demons on the Day of Christ's return. Yes, God is an austere man. A man of war. He is the God Jesus.
