←Watch video to see why the Resurrection of the Dead precedes Christ's return.St Peter tells us that Jesus preached to gospel to the Old Testament saints so that they would be reconciled to God by the same redemption as New Testament believers (1st Peter 4:6). At that point their souls experienced a spiritual change-of-address, just as the Christian does at they time that they profess saving faith. Their bodies, however, have not been raised yet. A future event called the resurrection of the dead will occur immediately prior to Christ's return. According to St Paul, we will be caught up to meet the Lord after this resurrection has taken place(1st Thessalonians 4:15-17). Video for slower connections
Revelation Prophecy -Who Cares? Making Revelation irrelevant was the quest of a 16th Century theologian. Protestant Reformation leaders were convinced that the Roman Catholic Church was the Antichrist of Revelation. (see Protestant End Times Doctrines) To avoid this accusation Francisco Ribera invented Futurism; sealing up the last 19 chapters of Revelation until a mysterious time at the end of the age. But Futurism had a major shortcoming - it placed Christ's return beyond the earthly lifetime of Christians.
In 1827John Nelson Darby solved this problem by suggesting a 'semi-second-return' which would occur just before Ribera's mystery period; restoring the anticipation of Christ's appearing. -- It's all good; right?
Sealing upthe prophetic chapters of Revelation wasforbidden by God - "Do not seal the words of the prophecies of this book" (Rev 22:10).
The Stage is Set Now that Futurism (the Left Behind scenario) has been generally accepted, if John Nelson Darby's Pre-trib rapture fails to occur, Christians are practically guaranteed to be deceived by the Antichrist; just as the Jews were unable to identify Christ - even though Jesus was fulfilling prophecies right before their eyes.
Will Futurism fail when the Temple is rebuilt and the sacrifices resume - and we're still here?

The Great Harlot must be destroyed before or during the 1/3 judgment (trumpets). It would not be possible for the golden age of world commerce (described in Rev 17 & 18) to arise within seven years after 1/3 of mankind, plants, fish, and atmosphere have been destroyed. (Consider how long it really takes to turn an economy around after relatively minor problems - Japan, Europe, the U.S., Haiti)

Excerpts from Introduction "So what sort of signs of the times should those who "walk in the day" be able to see; as the Day approaches?Some highly visible characters are identified in John’s prophecies.
One of these characters is a nation that rules over all the other nations, and is such a mighty world power that the other nations proclaim, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Rev 13:4)
√Trading capital of the world √ Chief military power √ Unknown at writing of Revelation √Unfaithful to God √ Citizens live in luxury √ Given to sinfulness
(see Table of Contents Below)
"Another, and perhaps the most significant, similarity between the Great Harlot and the US is how perfectly She exemplifies “the Mother of all Harlots”.What is the source of legalized fetal abortion?Where have premarital sex and the homosexual lifestyle been legitimized and promoted?What is the world’s source of pornographic images?Not to mention the biblical definition of spiritual adultery; turning away from the Holy One of Israel. “The inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornications”(Rev. 17:2b). Has any nation ever been so successful at spreading her filth throughout the earth?Could a future nation possibly match the breadth and depth of moral depravity that this great country has poured out upon the globe?Hard act to follow!Dare I suggest; impossible.What more could be indulged in?How could a nation be more influential?"
"Come out of her, My people" is the only major book of this title which preserves its biblical context. ("Come out of her, My people" (Rev 18:4) is a command to leave a physical location - not merely a separation from world systems.)
The unsealed rendering of Revelation fueled the Reformation and saved countless souls from martyrdom. What might the power of unsealed prophecy do to revive America?
Come Out of Her, My People book review Kirkus Discoveries Review****** Interpretation of the Book of Revelation, with special emphasis on the identity of Babylon. Inspired by the events of September 11, 2001, Steinle decided to conduct an in-depth study of the New Testament Book of Revelation. He of course treads well-covered ground, and his conclusion will come as little surprise—the fall of the World Trade Center, he intones, may be the beginning sign of the fall of the Great City of Babylon as described in Revelation.
Steinle’s opening chapters describe in detail the various prophesies revealed to John at Patmos, drawing in other biblical literature as well, such as from the Book of Daniel and the apocalyptic sayings of Jesus in the Gospels. The author brings up the intriguing possibility that the city of Babylon does not represent a single nation but perhaps a world government or federation, but he still believes that the United States, as a single world superpower, may be the center or beginning of such a dominating global force. He points out that two major prophecies have yet to come to fruition: global persecution of Christians and the marking of citizens in order to be able to conduct commerce. Both prophecies, he believes, are possibilities within the foreseeable future.
Steinle’s approach differs from those of many other writers on this topic in a major way: He is careful not to make absolute statements or to definitively interpret this very difficult scripture. By presenting his ideas as possible interpretations only, he succeeds in maintaining credibility even with the skeptical reader. His conclusion—that Christians may want to flee the U.S. if it truly is the biblical Babylon—is intimated rather than bluntly stated. Steinle’s reading of scripture is certainly fundamental in approach, but modest enough to be a welcome read to a wide audience. Modest, yet traditionalist, reading of Revelation.
