has sent them to make judgment possible. For as it is said, no judgment can be placed upon a man unless there are two witnesses against him.
“For most of the last half of the tribulation they shall remind those that are left that God is watching, observing their sins, and will soon pass judgment on them. These two shall be hated by those people, for none of God’s children are left in the last half of the tribulation. The only exception to this will be the Israelites that did not receive the seal of God upon their foreheads. For God will bring them through this punishment and purify them.
“Several times Enoch and Elijah will be attacked, but each time their attackers’ fate shall be the same as those you just saw.”
“Oh? Then all that I have seen all this destruction that I have beheld will happen during the tribulation?”
“Yes, but more exactly, the earliest part of it. For when the last trumpet is heard, and the witnesses of God first appear, the last of the flock of the Gentiles will be with God. Then the second half shall begin. Those that are left shall hate God, and He will reward this hate with seven vials of His wrath. Now rest for when you dream again, you shall see more than even before.”
:2:22 a.m.
And so Tim turns in his bed, and sleeps a deep and peaceful sleep the rest of the night.
The Battle
:October 20
:10:46 p.m.
For almost three quarters of a century the communists controlled the lands called by them the USSR. Now as their power was falling from their hands, they took it upon themselves to hand them their own fatal wound. Timothy listened closely to the news of the coup d'état and knew it would cause the death of that land as he grew up knowing it. He knew this just as the coup itself failed.
He lies in bed thinking of the possible influence the Christian community will have upon the new lands that will come from this. These thoughts make him forget that it has been three Sundays since his last dream. Soon though, he falls into the long sleep of night.
Tim opens his eyes to look upon the bent street sign at the corner of his street. He turns to gaze upon his house but is met by the rubble of the red-bricked house. As he stares, something to his left catches his eyes. He turns and is shocked by the sight before him. There, only twenty feet away is the muddy waters of the Mississippi flowing past him. He turns back around to look at the main street that runs beside his house and sees that it is buckled and torn.
“This is the result of the seventh vial judgment,” Gabriel explains. “Every city and town in the world has been destroyed. Every sign of mankind’s sins to the earth and God has been destroyed. Come; there is something else we must see before the battle.”
“What battle?” Tim asks as he is suddenly no longer on the street he lives on. His question goes unanswered as he looks at the long line of “M-1 Abrams” tanks before him. Stunned by what he sees, he just looks on at the column of destroyed machines. Their turrets are bent and torn along with their fuselages.
“This is the result of the fourth vial. The heat of the sun became so intense that it caused the munitions and the fuel of these and all other machines of this time to explode. Now they are useless pieces of junk,” Gabriel makes clear.
Abruptly Tim feels the quick and exhilarating sensation of flight. He looks below him and sees the waters of the sea passing quickly by. As he looks, before him once again he sees a coastline growing ever longer.
The coastline at first is a long thin line, but he soon sees small mountains on either side of a still thin line. Then he spots movement on the line as it grows. He sees camels and horses walking through tents of various styles and colors. Then he and Gabriel, flying beside him, turn to the right as they pass over the vast tent city.
In the distance he sees a large dust cloud, with columns of smoke behind it. He looks through the haze of dirt to see thousands upon thousands of moving bodies pass below him. As he emerges from the dust, he sees Jerusalem before him. Most of the buildings lie in rubble as Timothy notes that the great city is split in three pieces. Two of the three areas of Jerusalem are swarmed over by the horde below him as smoke from several fires burns in these areas.
The last part of the city holds the remains of a temple. It is here that Tim sees fighting still taking place. He looks on as he sees all the people that are not involved in the conflict begin to kneel and look into the sky.
Suddenly he hears sound for the first time in this dream. A hole opens in the sky and he hears the chant that he had heard when he was with the glorified Jesus. Then a white horse comes running out of it, and there he sees the glorified form of Jesus upon it.
He is dressed in red, and the verse of Revelation comes to Tim’s mind: “And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.”
Then Timothy sees an army follow close behind Him. They are all dressed in white, and they to ride white horses. Once again a verse comes to mind: “and all the saints with Him”
The battle stops as all look to see the coming of Jesus as His horse comes to stand upon Mt. Olive. He dismounts; and as His feet touch the ground, His horse vanishes. Instantly the ground begins to shake, and then the mountain splits in two, as Jesus floats in the same spot where He had stepped. The Lord floats over the heads of those who had called Him.
“Go! Go into the valley and seek safety at its end,” comes His voice to Timothy’s ears, as Jesus comes to stand before the attackers. As the Israelites retreat into the long but not very wide valley, the followers of the Antichrist creep slowly toward Jesus, His sword in hand ready for them.
Tim watches from above as he sees the people in various uniforms and types of armor start to say things. They charge the Lord with their awkward looking weapons as He swings His majestic weapon. The bodies pile up before Him as He takes a step back to give more room for the newly fallen.
Time seems to stretch on forever; but as Tim looks at the nearly set sun, he remembers that it was like that when he first came upon this scene.
Finally Jesus stops near the beginning of the valley as the Israelites are more than halfway through the canyon. The Lord turns from His battle and rises above it and the valley as He heads toward the end of it. Once there He encourages the people fleeing from the evil that now pursues them into the valley.
Horsemen lead the attack against the fleeing masses and cover the ground in a few minutes. They are greeted by the Lord Himself as the last of His new-found followers reach safety behind Him and in the center of the saints. Jesus stretches out His hand, and immediately the horse bucks and whinnies in fright. Several horses fall to the ground dead while others buck around wildly, throwing their riders from their backs.
Others within the horde that charges toward the Lord begin to act strangely as some turn and run back to the fallen city. He looks on as others turn and begin to fight with men in different uniforms from theirs. Tim watches the sudden change as the enemies of God turn upon themselves.
Timothy glances back towards Jerusalem. He sees that the massive army continues to pour into the valley as they run down the sloping entrance. Jesus then sheathes His sword and raises the now free hand. Tim looks on in horror as many of the men grab at their faces and scream in agony. Stunned by what he sees, he is unable to turn away but is glad he cannot hear their shrieks of pain. He watches as the skin of these men, and even the horses that are there, begin to melt away from the skeleton below. Blood oozes out from every pore of their bodies and begins to puddle on the rock floor of the valley. Within time the blood begins to fill the canyon as men and animals alike start to drown in the red gore. As time passes, there is soon no movement left in the lake of blood before him. He looks at the sun at the end of the valley as it finally begins to set within the ruins of Jerusalem before it.
:4:55 a.m.
Timothy quickly awakens. Shaken by what he has just witnessed, quietly he slips out of bed and goes into the kitchen. He pours himself a glass of milk and begins to pet their Old English Sheepdog.
“
Hi, hon,” comes the soft, gentle voice of his wife as she rubs his neck.
“Hi, Chrissy,” he says as he places his hand on hers.
“What happened?”
“I witnessed the battle of Armageddon.” They both fall silent.
The Millennium
:November 10
:11:35 p.m.
Tim lies in his bed tired and frightened, frightened to fall to sleep, a way that he has felt for the last few weeks. His fright is due to the last dream in which he was shown Armageddon.
Now, though, exhaustion from this reluctance finally overcomes him; and within a few minutes after placing his head upon his pillow, he falls into a deep sleep.
He sees before him a beautiful city built upon three hills. On one he sees a large temple, and he wishes he could be there. In response he finds himself just outside of it as several wagons sit outside of the massive structure. There, horses are tied to a long hitching post along with some camels. He starts to walk toward the entrance where a river of clear water pours steadily out of one side of it. Suddenly a group of people appears out of nowhere in the company of an angel.
“That’s like...”
“Yes it is,” responds Gabriel as Tim turns to look at him and recalls his dream about the Pre-Adamic people.
“Come,” the angel says and they appear within the temple.
