Hour, Day, Month & Year
CHAPTER 17

To every thing there is a season.
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to kill, and a time to heal,
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
ECC 3:1-3 (EXCERPTS)

There are Seven Trumpets in Revelation and four angels appear within
the 6th Trumpet. Those angels can now be positively identified. Three
of those angels have already been released and their messages were
delivered between 688 and 1967!

REV 9:13-16 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, one
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four
angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” And the four
angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and
year, were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind. And
the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million;
I heard the number of them.

       The Euphrates River area is the Middle East and the location of the
Leopard-Bear-Lion. From other Scripture we recognize LBL to be the
Islamic world! So these four angels were to be released from within the
Islamic states.
       That’s not a whole lot to go on, so from what scriptures can we get
further insight into these angels? Why, from somewhere between where
this prophecy is given (Rev 9:14) and where the Lord sets up His eternal
kingdom (Rev 11:15). These four angels appear after the 6th Trumpet
blows, but before the Last Trumpet, (Rev 11:15). And since we go
directly into the eternal Kingdom of God at the last trumpet ...

The only place to find out more about these angels would be
between Rev 9:14 and Rev 11:14!
 
Hour, Day, Month & Year 181

       Now four angels don’t appear between Rev 9:14 and Rev 11:14, but
there is another clue to follow – TIME! Those four angels or messengers
were prepared for four different time periods – an Hour, Day, Month,
and Year. Guess what? The hour, day, and month each appear, once, in
three different verses in Rev 11, all within the account of the Two
Witnesses:

MONTH Rev 11:2 “And leave out the court which is outside the temple,
and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and
they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.
DAY Rev 11:3 “And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and
they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed
in sackcloth.”
HOUR Rev 11:13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a
tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand people were killed in
the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to
the God of heaven.

       The above is no coincidence. Those “month” and “day” angels were
the Islamic scourge on the Holy Land from 688 to 1967. From context,
it’s obvious that the final “hour” angel is future, but where is the year
angel?

       ¸íéáõôül (eniautos, Strong’s No. G2094), usually translated year,
does not appear between Rev 9:14 and Rev 11:14, but since all things
are fulfilled by Rev 11:15, that “year” has to be in there somewhere.
Let’s examine the passage carefully to see if there are any other time
designations that could be understood as “years.”

REV 11:8-9 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great
city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their
Lord was crucified. And those from the peoples and tribes and
tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a
half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
REV 11:11 And after the three and a half days the breath of life
from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great
fear fell upon those who were beholding them.
 
Hour, Day, Month & Year 182

       The Greek word (hemera), translated “days” in the above is
ambiguous.1 Since the above 3-1/2 days are the only other time frame
within the passage that could be possibly translated years, then maybe
the correct translation for the above is years. Let’s look at that
possibility:

Rev 11:9 And those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and
nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half YEARS,
and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
Rev 11:11 And after the three and a half YEARS the breath of life
from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great
fear fell upon those who were beholding them.

       We are in the New Testament era, using the Roman calendar, so if
YEAR is the correct translation, using “I give you a day for a year” to
interpret this prophecy, look at when we get to:

3.5 x 365.24 = 1278.34 Years
1967 (Jerusalem free) - 1278.34 = 688
The Dome of the Rock once again!

       So the 3-1/2 “days” of Rev 11:9-11 appear to be a repetitive prophecy
about the Moslem domination of Jerusalem and the temple mount. If this
is the correct way to view the passage, here is how the passage may be
understood. To keep it simple, italic comments are inserted within the
Bible text:

Rev 11:8-15, NASB (Excerpts) And their dead bodies (the empty
churches) will lie in the street of the great city (Jerusalem) which
mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was
crucified. And those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and
nations (the Moslems in the surrounding lands) will look at their
dead bodies (the empty churches) for three and a half days (Years
of day=years, i.e., from 688AD to 1967AD) and will not permit
their dead bodies (the empty churches) to be laid in a tomb (to be
torn down). And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over
them and make merry; and they will send gifts to one another,
__________________________

1 The Greek çìÝñá (hemera, Strong’s No. 2250g) found in vs. 9 and 11 is an ambiguous
word, variously translated as day, moment, midday, time, and year, the correct translation
depending upon context. In Rev 11:9 and 11:11 there are no contextual guidelines to
determine the correct translation, so translators went with the most common usage,
rendering hemera day. But twelve times, the translators of the NASB understood hemera
to be year, Luk 1:7, 1:18, and 2:36 etc., so year is a perfectly acceptable translation.

Hour, Day, Month & Year 183

because these two prophets (the Christians and the Jews) tormented
those who dwell on the earth (it is torment for the lost when the
gospel is preached and they do not repent). And after the three and
a half days (after Jerusalem was freed) the breath of life from God
came into them, and they stood on their feet; (After 1967, God’s
people returned to Jerusalem’s churches and synagogues) and
great fear fell upon those (the Palestinians and Moslems) who were
beholding them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying
to them, “Come up here.” (Saints, both Jew and Gentile, taken to
be with the Lord. Still in the future. Compare with REV 4:1) And
they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld
them...and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of
heaven. And the seventh angel sounded; (the Last Trumpet) and
there arose loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the
world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and
He will reign forever and ever.”

       The above interpretation is in keeping with both Scripture and
history. Now lets look at the 6th Trumpet (the 2nd Woe) again:

Rev 9:13-15 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from
the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, one saying
to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels
who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” And the four angels,
who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year,
were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind.

       Those four angels were released during the 6th Trumpet! From the
prophecy of the Two Witnesses, we can see that three of those angels
were freed from 688 to 1967. Remembering that “angel” really means
messenger, look at what those messengers can now show us:

1. For 42 Months Gentiles to dominated Jerusalem.
A 1st “messenger” from the Middle East!
2. For 1260 Days the Two Witnesses were driven out
of the Holy Land.
A 2nd “messenger” from the Middle East!
3. For 3-1/2 Hemera (Years)the Lord permitted the Moslems to
control Jerusalem.
A 3rd “messenger” from the Middle East!
4. That Hour, the hour of trial, Armageddon.
A 4th “messenger” from the Middle East!
 
Hour, Day, Month & Year 184

       Those angels were messages to the Church; and three of them have
already been delivered to us, with malice, by the bloody swords of a
fundamental Islam. But has the West been able to hear God’s messengers
from the Middle East, trumpeting to us down through the ages? It
doesn’t seem so, and it looks like the 4th messenger from the Middle-
East, “the hour of trial,” is just about to begin. Only a handful seem to
notice, but this battle, too, will be fought against Islam. Fought by Israel
and by what’s left in the church who have ears to hear.
       The above is separated by light-years from the prophetic
superstitions of today’s church, but few question our end-time traditions.
If God were not in control, I would despair. Unless church leaders start
doing their homework in the Bible instead of relying upon their dusty
commentaries, I fear the church at large is doomed to remain in a
spiritual darkness that will trigger the final holocaust. It’s a tragedy too,
because it doesn’t have to be that way. But, as the Lord said through His
prophets:

Isa 5:13 ...My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And
their honorable men are famished (for the Word of God), And their
multitude is parched with (a spiritual) thirst.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

A FINAL WORD

       Within the Dome of the Rock is a large inscription in Arabic that
reads: “God forbid that He should have a son.” That and many other
teachings of Muhammad turned 1/5th of the world’s population away
from the Savior of mankind:

“ . . .The Christians call Christ the Son of God. That is a saying
from their mouth. [In this] they but imitate what the unbelievers of
old used to say. God’s curse be upon them . .” (Surat at-taubah, 30).

       So was Muhammad the false prophet of Revelation 16:13? Of
course. This isn’t just a little “clash of cultures” over the words of some
minor figure in world history. It is God and His Word on one side and
Satan and his lies on the other, in a war that began in the garden of Eden.
 
Hour, Day, Month & Year 185

The declarations of Muhammad stand directly against what the God of
Heaven says in the Bible:

John 3:36 &16 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of
God abideth on him ... For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.

       Despite all claims to the contrary, during this Christian Era, all
authority has been given into Jesus’ hands!

Phil 2:8-11 And being found in fashion as a man, he [Jesus]
humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death
of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

       Islam stands directly against those Bible truths. Understanding the
Leopard-Bear-Lion beast as the Middle Eastern nations leads irrevocably
to the conclusion that Islam and the fundamental Moslems are the final
enemies of Almighty God. The day=year prophecies also show us that
we are in the last generation of the Christian Era. God knew the future
of Islam and the Holy Land, right to the year, and God told us about it
almost six hundred years before Muhammad was born.
       There is nothing like those prophecies in the Koran. The Holy Land
and Jerusalem again being under Jewish control is something Allah
could not foresee. It is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, not of Koranic
prophecy. The comparison would be comic were it not so tragic. Many
will stand before the Great White Throne in horror as their rejection of
the truth is brought to a light from which they cannot flee. “It is a fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Heb 10:31).
       There is one thought that should be repeated: Worldwide, there are
about 1.3 billion people in Islam. Present estimates are that 10-15% of
all Moslems are fundamental extremists. In other words, right now there
are about 100 to 150 million people actively involved in the world's most
dangerous splinter group and their numbers are rapidly increasing,
particularly among the younger generation.
 
Hour, Day, Month & Year 186

       Now here’s the point: Today there are an estimated five to six
million Moslems in the United States. If that 10-15% statistic holds true
for us, then from 500,000 to 900,000 American Moslems could be
terrorist supporting Islamic fundamentalists. So could terrorists be hiding
in American mosques? The answer is obvious. If we don’t root them out,
our nation will never again be free of the threat of Islamic terrorism.
       Not since the war of 1812 have enemy soldiers been allowed on
United States soil. But liberal rhetoric and political correctness being
what they are, we’ll ignore God’s warning about those who have
rejected His Son. We’ll march blithely on, to an Armageddon we’ll be
bringing upon ourselves.
       At no time since the Lord led the author into this ministry has he
been more afraid for the Church in the West than he is right now. What
you have read in this book hasn’t been hidden under a bushel.
Thousands of copies have been distributed throughout the United States
since the author’s first book was published in 1984, but does anyone
really care that we now face the final enemy of the Church and Israel?
With pastors bound by tradition or lethargy, only a tiny handful take the
time to verify the truth or error of what is written in this book.
