Revelation 13:13
The Beast does great wonders and makes fire descend from heaven into the earth before humans! 
By Brother Mike (3-20-23; 60 minutes)

 

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men ...  

 
INTRODUCTION 

In our last study, we learned that the one Church-beast, which both the 1st beast and 2nd beast represent, exercised the great authority or power of Satan himself after Satan's deadly wound that he had received at the cross was healed on May 21, 1988 when Satan was released from the Pit that he had been bound in for 1,000 years, which 1,000 years symbolizes the completeness of years from the cross until Judgment began at the House of God on May 21, 1988 with the Holy Spirit in all the Christian churches worldwide being replaced by the perfect counterfeit and unholy spirit, THE ANTICHRIST or counterfeit Christ, Satan himself to bring complete spiritual deception and desolation to them all for their ever increasing sins. We also had learned that this one beast, which the 1st and 2nd beasts both pictured, and that we called the Church-beast because it had everything to do with the Church, caused itself to be worshipped by everyone in the Christian churches during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, and

even still today.  
 
But now, in this study, we will see that this one Church-beast that both the 1st and 2nd beasts of Revelation Chapter 13 portray, did great wonders and makes fire descend from heaven on the earth in the sight of men during the Great Tribulation. But did anyone see these things happen during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011? Most would say that they never heard of or saw anyone call down fire from heaven on the earth during that time, so your belief that the Great Tribulation took place from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011 must be in error, which also proves that your whole understanding of the Last Days or Latter Days must be in error as well. Is this true? We shall see as we study Revelation 13:13 in more detail. 

May the Lord grant us spiritual eyes to see, and spiritual ears to hear through Jesus Christ to the glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three different person who are all the same one God, amen.


Revelation 13:13

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men ... 

Let's begin our study of this verse by first examining its first sentence, which reads, And he does great wonders. In the Biblical Greek language, the subject he in this sentence, And he does great wonders, can be translated either as he, she, or it, depending on the context.

have been worshipping throughout the Great Tribulation, and yes, even to today

But one might say, how can they all who are still in any of the Christian churches worldwide be worshipping the devil? Think about it! Because Judgment [had to] begin at the House of God (1Peter 4:17), God began His Judgment on May 21, 1988 against the whole Christian corporate Church (all Christian churches worldwide) by removing His true Holy Spirit from them (listen to 2Thessalonians 2:1-11 and
Why leave all churches ? ) and giving them all over to the perfect counterfeit Christ and counterfeit holy spirit, THE ULTIMATE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself to deceive them into many false teachings, practices, and counterfeit gospels, as well as to deceive them all into believing they are worshipping the true Christ in their churches when, in fact, they are worshipping Satan himself because all the Christian churches worldwide were handed over to Satan by God to rule over and own as Judgment against them due to their ever increasing sins (remember Revelation 13:8 and 12 ) . As a result, God''s true people or Saints (the Elect) departed out from all the Christian churches in obedience to Christ so that they would no longer be worshipping the devil and Satan who became the God of the entire Christian Corporate Church by September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation (see Why leave all churches? ). Also, since God began to remove His Holy Spirit from
But since, in this context, he is referring back to the Church-beast that we found in our last couple studies to be an it, we should translate our sentence, And it does great wonders. Furthermore, because the verb does is in the Present Tense of the Indicative Mood of the Greek, it reveals continuous or ongoing action (see Present Tense ). We can show this in our translation like this: And it is [ongoingly] doing great wonders. Thus, this Church-beast (and we say Church-beast because, remember, this beast [the kingdom of Satan], which consists of Satan, his demons, and counterfeit Christians in the Church), comes up in the Church with complete strength or power over the Church as if it were Christ Himself during the Great Tribulation that the proven accurate , Biblical Timeline of History declares was from the End of the Church Age and the beginning of God�s Judgment upon His Church on May 21, 1988 to the beginning of Judgment Day, which consists of many days, on May 21, 2011. Of course, this Church-beast is not Christ Himself, but it is the major or ruling part of this beast, which is the counterfeit Christ, Satan himself who is also known as THE ANTICHRIST , the Abomination of Desolation, the Man of Sin, and Son of Perdition. So, this Church-beast is the Kingdom of Satan that God gave to rule over all the Christian churches worldwide to bring Judgment against them, and it is the ruling part of this beast, namely Satan, who is the counterfeit Christ and Antichrist that everyone still in any of the Christian churches worldwide

Page 3

the whole Corporate Church at the beginning of the Great Tribulation on May 21, 1988 as we already stated, that is when the Church Age spiritually ended along with its mandate to send the gospel into the whole world. That's right, we are no longer to gather in a denomination or church of any kind because God's Judgment rests upon them all, and we are no longer to bring the gospel to the world. Instead, we are to be involved in bringing Judgment primarily against all the Christian churches worldwide, but also against the whole world.  Yes, we can still meet outside of a church to fellowship with like-minded Christians and do Bible study and worship together in small groups if there are enough so like-minded Christians in any given place that have also already departed out from their churches to obey Christ, but we must recognize that the Church Age has ended so that we are no longer mandated to gather together, but rather to gather ourselves each unto God by individual worship, prayer, and Bible study in the same way in which we will all also be individually raptured to God (see Hebrews 10:25 Do not forsake the assembling of ourselves ). 

Now, our verse says, And it is [ongoingly] doing great wonders. That is, the Church-beast is ongoingly doing great wonders during the Great Tribulation. The Greek word here translated as wonders is the word transliterated sEmeia in English. In the Authorized Version of the King James, it is normally translated as signs, but it can also be translated as miracles

or wonders. And, since these signs, miracles, or wonders are ongoingly being done by the Church-beast, which is the kingdom of Satan in the Church, that includes Satan who is the counterfeit Christ and counterfeit holy spirit, his demons who can also function as counterfeit Christs or counterfeit holy spirits, and his counterfeit Christians, these miracles, signs or wonders arise from Satan and his demons working through his counterfeit Christians or prophets in the Church. You know, these are those counterfeit Christians who do the signs and wonders of apparently getting direct miraculous messages from God in dreams, voices, tongues, visions, or so-called words of knowledge. Or they do the signs and wonders of apparent miraculous healings. Or they do the signs and wonders of apparently saving people. Or the signs and wonders of slaying people in the spirit by touching them on their foreheads to make them fall backwards as if it were some sort of blessing from God. Indeed, such signs and wonders or miracles have been and continue to be used by the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself to make his false Christs or gospels appear legitimate in the same way that the Apostles and 1st century Christians and prophets did signs and wonders to legitimize the true gospel.
 
Fortunately, Christ forewarned His true people about these false prophets and gospels (false Christs) that especially would appear during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, and continue to today. In fact, one

Page 4

of the major signs that we are right at the end is the rise of these false prophets. In Matthew 24, we read, 

24 For there shall arise false Christs [false gospels]
, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs [sEmeia]
and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect

And again, we read, 

Mr 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs [sEmeia] and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect .
 
You see, these signs and wonders that the Church-beast did and continues to do in the Christian churches are Satan's attempt to deceive God's Elect to go back into the churches. They are meant to make the Elect of God think that they are missing out on something good by no longer being in the Christian churches worldwide where are all the miraculous things like apparent salvations; healings; direct messages from God in dreams, visions, tongues, prophesyings, so-called words of knowledge, or voices; and even people miraculously falling backwards so that we, the Elect, might be deceived and return to our churches and so worship the devil because it is the devil who now rules over and owns all the Christian churches worldwide as the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself. Yes, Satan knows that if he can get us, God's

Elect, to return to the Church, he will have deceived us like he has already done to all those who have not obeyed Christ to depart out of all the Christian churches worldwide, and, in the Church, we would be worshipping the devil like everyone else, for Satan now owns and rules over all the Churches ever since September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation so that if we are now deceived to return to any of the so-called Christian churches to worship and hear God's word, we are actually worshipping and listening to the devil. God forbid that any of us should do that!

Now, we also read about this Church-beast doing signs and wonders in the Church during the Great Tribulation in 2Thessalonians where we read, 

2Th 2:9 Even him [the Son of Perdition, also known as THE ANTICHRIST, counterfeit Christ, Satan himself] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders ... 

Notice here that the wonders or miracles which Satan does in the Church during the Great Tribulation when he is ruling over them are lying wonders. Why are they called lying wonders or miracles? Remember, the miracles that Christ did when He was on earth attested to Him being of the true God, for remember what the Pharisee Nicodemus said to Christ. He said, 
 
Joh 3:2 ... Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles [or signs]
that thou does,

Page 5

except God be with him

Thus, the signs or miracles that Jesus did verified that He was of God. And when the Apostles did such signs or miracles in the 1st century AD, those signs or miracles bore witness to their teaching being of the truth from God. We read of this also in Hebrews 2 where we read, 

Heb. 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [such as the Apostles who heard Christ speak];
4 God also bearing them [the Apostles] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will ? {gifts: or, distributions }

What we see, then, is that signs or miracles or wonders were used by God in the 1st century AD to attest to the truths being proclaimed by His people, and we can call these signs or miracles truthful wonders because they attested to God's truth. But the signs or miracles that the beast ongoing did in the Church during the Great Tribulation and still does even today are called lying wonders (2Thessalonians 2:9). Why? Because they are not attesting to being of God and the truth as they did in the 1st century AD, but they are attesting to the counterfeit Christ or God, THE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself, who has been ruling over the whole Christian Church ever since

September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation as God's Judgment against them. Therefore, although the signs or miracles that the beast has been doing in the Church are similar to those that were done in the 1st century, they are not attesting to the truth, but to a lie, namely that Satan is God, and that all those who are still in the Christian churches worldwide in disobedience to Christ are worshipping Christ who is God when, in fact, they are worshipping the devil without even knowing it. And so, the signs or wonders that were done during the Great Tribulation and even being done today through so-called Christians who are really counterfeit Christians are not giving verification that they are of the truth, but rather, that they are of the devil and his lies. In fact, all scriptures that speak of signs, miracles, or wonders being done near the end of the world, which is the time period we have been in ever since Judgment began with the House of God on May 21, 1988, have to do with the activity of Satan. And these signs and wonders have been deceiving many, for an evil generation loves to follow after signs and wonders.

But now, let's consider the rest of our verse. We already learned that the beast ongoingly does great wonders (signs or miracles) in the Church during the Great Tribulation and is still permitted to do so even today, but now we learn of the reason why the beast does great wonders:

Rev. 13:13 ... so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men  ...  

Page 6

We can more literally translate this sentence like this: 

Rev. 13:13 ... that it may also be making fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth in the sight humans ... 

What this verse tells us is that the reason why the beast ongoingly did great wonders, signs, or miracles during the Great Tribulation was that it may also be making fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth in the sight humans. That is, while the beast did its wonders or signs such as supposed miraculous healings, or supposed miraculous salvations, or supposed direct messages from God in voices, prophesies, visions, so-called words of knowledge, tongues, or the like, it also gave the beast a platform to make fire come down from heaven into the earth in the sight of humans. We say in the sight of humans rather than in the sight of men as the Authorized Version of the King James puts it because the Greek word does not just refer to men as in adult males, but it refers to both males and females; therefore, the word humans, which includes women, is the better word choice in the translation. Furthermore, notice that the more literal translation of our verse says, that it [the Church-beast] may also be making fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth; not on the earth as the Authorized Version of the King James translates it, but into the earth in the sight of humans. This makes sense when we realize that into the earth spiritually means into the Church because we found in other

previous studies of Revelation Chapter 13 that, spiritually speaking, the earth is the Church (see the earth in Revelation 13:8 , 11 , and 12 ). Thus, our verse reveals that at the time when the beast was doing various other supposed miraculous things among the Church during the Great Tribulation, it was also making fire out of heaven to be descending into the Church in the sight of humans.

But now, did anyone in any church see literal fire come down from heaven during the Great Tribulation that we know took place according to the proven , Biblical Timeline of History
from when God brought Judgment on His Church from May 21, 1988 to when Judgment Day, which consists of many days, began on May 21, 2011? Absolutely not! Why not? Well, because the word fire is not to be taken literally because God is teaching us spiritual truths as He has been in all the Book of Revelation. In fact, we know that Satan who is the major or ruling part of the beast works through his counterfeit Christians or prophets who are also a part of the beast to do his signs and wonders, but we learn in the Bible that Satan is not able to make literal fire come out of heaven, for when the Old Testament Prophet Elijah tested the Prophets of Baal (those Prophets who were of Satan) to see whether any of them could get their god, Satan, to make fire come down from heaven to burn up the sacrifice, they could not, revealing that Satan is not able to make literal fire come down out of heaven. But, on the other hand, after Elijah mocked all the Prophets of Baal

Page 7

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under :
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken . {It is ... : Heb. The word is good } 
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under .
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made . {hear: or, answer } {answered: or, heard } {leaped ... : or, leaped up and down at the altar } 
27
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked . {aloud: Heb. with a great voice } {he is talking: or, he meditateth } {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit }
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them . {the blood ... : Heb. poured out blood upon them } 

who were cutting themselves in an attempt to get their god to bring down fire from heaven all day long, Elijah simply cried out to his true God, Yahweh, at the evening sacrifice, and fire instantly came down and licked up all the water in the trenches and burned up the wood and the sacrifice to put all the false Prophets and their god, Satan, to shame. We read of this account in 1Kings 18 where we read, 

17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel ?
18
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim .
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table .
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word . {opinions: or, thoughts }
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men

Page 8

 29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded . {offering: Heb. ascending } {that regarded: Heb. attention }
30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name :
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed .  
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood .
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time .
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water . {ran: Heb. went } 
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word

 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again .
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God .
40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there . {Take: or, Apprehend } 

So, what did we learn from this account? First, we learned that unlike the true God, Satan cannot bring literal fire down from heaven in the sight of humans and, therefore, neither could the beast of which Satan is the ruling part have brought fire down from heaven during the Great Tribulation. But, if Satan was able to have made literal burning fire come out of heaven during the Great Tribulation, it would have proved that he is God. Nevertheless, Satan did not cause literal burning fire to fall from heaven in the sight of humans during the Great Tribulation. So, what does our verse mean when it says that the beast also made fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth (the Church) in the sight of humans? Well, if we look up the word fire everywhere it takes place in the Bible, we will quickly find that it most commonly represents Judgment.

himself who deceived all the churches and congregations worldwide to worship him and receive the Mark of the Beast, and he brought in his counterfeit gospels, counterfeit teachings, and counterfeit signs and wonders to spiritually destroy them. 

Now, before moving on further, we should note that Christ, like Satan, is also referred to as a lion in scripture. Remember, we read,  
 
Re 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David [Christ]
, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof .  
 
And, in describing Christ by four beasts (better translated as four living creatures), we read,   
 
Re 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle

So, Christ and Satan can both be described as a lion in scripture, but Satan is the counterfeit lion. Satan comes looking just like Christ, which is one of the reasons why he is described as a lion in the same way that Christ is. And there are many Old Testament verses that both typify Christ and Satan as a lion that we will not get into for brevity, but with that being said, let's look at one last verse. We read, 

Hosea 13:5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought . {great ... : Heb. droughts }

Page 9

6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me
7 Therefore I [God]
will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I [God]
observe them :
8 I [God]
will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I [God] devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them . {wild ... : Heb. beast of the field } 

Notice that in this verse, because God is bringing judgment on His own people, God describes Himself as all three of the same beasts - the leopard, bear, and lion - which are used to describe Satan coming against God's Church as judgment against them during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to when Judgment Day began on May 21, 2011 in our verse of study, Revelation 13:2. In fact, Hosea 13:5-8, the verses we just read, typifies God's judgment that would come upon the New Testament Israel, the Church, which we see being described in verse 2 of our study in Revelation 13. 

Now, our verse 2 of Revelation 13 ends like this: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. That is, the beast (Satan and his kingdom) that rose up out of the sea (was loosed to rise up out of the bottomless pit in which it was first bound at the cross) to bring God's judgment against all the churches and congregations worldwide beginning on May 21, 1988 according to the well-proven , Biblical Timeline of History got its power from
the dragon who we learned is the devil, Satan himself .

For instance, when fire came down and destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, the fire was God's Judgment against them. Or, when Elijah called down fire in the sight of the prophets of Baal, it was God's Judgment against them. Indeed, it is just such common knowledge to those who study the Bible that fire represents or symbolizes Judgment that we are not going to waste any more time proving this. You can prove it to yourselves by simply looking up the word fire in the Bible to see that this is true. 

But now, as we realize that fire represents or symbolizes God's Judgment, we know that when the beast makes fire out of heaven to be descending into the Church in the sight of humans, it is not literal burning fire, for we already found that Satan is not able to call literal burning fire down from heaven in the account of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal. Rather, it is Judgment that Satan calls down from heaven because fire symbolizes Judgment. And, if Satan can just appear to make Judgment come down out of heaven into the Church in the sight of humans, then Satan figures that that is the spiritually same thing as being able to call literal burning fire down from heaven because that is what literal burning fire spiritually represents. And, if Satan can do this, then he would be as God and Judge and deceive the peoples in the Church. 

But how would Satan be able to just appear as the Judge and true God during the Great Tribulation by making Judgment come down out of heaven into the Church in the sight of   

Page 9

humans? Well, Satan figured it out when he remembered what happened to the men who came to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane to seize Him to be judged and then crucified. We read, 

John 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden [the garden of Gethsemane]
, into the which he entered, and his disciples .
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples .
3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons .  
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them .
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground .  

So, although Jesus would let these men take him to be judged and then crucified as the story goes, He made it clear to them that He was the true God and Judge of all by calling down Judgment from heaven to make all these evil men fall backward to the ground when He said to them, I am He. And Satan who was there in Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus saw this,

Page 10

which taught Satan that although he could not call down literal fire from heaven in the sight of humans to show that he is God and Judge as Yahweh did through Elijah in the sight of the Prophets of Baal; nevertheless, Satan learned that if he could just make people fall backwards like he saw Jesus do when He was on earth, then spiritually, he would be doing the same thing as if he did call down literal fire from heaven, for whether one makes literal fire come down from heaven in the sight of humans, or whether one makes people fall backwards in the sight of humans, it spiritually represents the same thing, namely that he who can do such a thing through humans to bring down Judgment is the true God and Judge. In other words, making people fall backwards symbolizes the same thing as making fire come down out of heaven. But, since we learned that Satan is unable to make literal fire come down out of heaven, when our verse tell us that the beast makes fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth (the Church) in the sight of humans, it must mean that he makes people fall backward in the Church in the sight of humans because by doing that, Satan had learned back in the Garden of Gethsemane, it is spiritually equivalent to or the same as making literal fire descend out of heaven, for making people fall backward is another sign or wonder like calling down fire from heaven that symbolizes bringing Judgment against people as only the true God and Judge can do. Of course, Satan is not God and Judge, but by making people fall backward, he deceives

them into believing that he is God and worshipping him. So, there you have it!

And, believe me, it is no small thing that this whole wonder or miracle of making people fall backwards in the Christian churches by slaying them in the spirit of Satan really started becoming big in the 1980s, and especially during what the well-proven , Biblical Timeline of History reveals to have been the time of the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, and even to today. Not only does this wonder or miracle of making people fall backward, which we previously learned fulfilled and is spiritually the same as making fire come down out of heaven into the Church before humans, validate and help prove the accuracy of the Biblical Timeline because the making of people to fall backwards took place exactly at the time that the Timeline of the Bible reveals that it would take place, namely during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, but it validates and helps prove our understanding of the nature of the Great Tribulation being completely spiritual with the end to eternal life and salvation in or thru every church, and by the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, also called the Man of Sin, the Abomination of Desolation, the spirit Satan himself having been given rule over the whole Church so that those in all the Christian churches began worshipping Satan rather than the true Christ by September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation without even knowing it, and even still today. Of course, God's true people, His Elect,

have long since departed out from all the Christian churches worldwide in obedience to their Lord, the true Jesus Christ (see Why leave all Christian churches ). 

So, how did God bring Judgment against His own Church to completely destroy them spiritually? He gave them over to the enemy and gave that enemy the power or authority to conquer and deceive the people in the Church. And now, ever since Judgment Day began on May 21, 2011, God is destroying America and the whole world in the same way: He has given them over to their enemies (Satan, his demons, the CCP, the unsaved wicked people of the world, the Globalists, and the like) and given them the power and authority to conquer and deceive the peoples. There can be no question that we are right at the end of all things. It is all a matter of a few more years, or a few more months, or a few more days, or a few more hours, or a few more minutes. But will all the Christian churches, America, or the whole world repent? Absolutely not, for they are all a stiff-necked people, and they love death. No, it is too late for them to listen to the Prophets of God whom God sent to them early, but they would not listen. Instead, they are lovers of idols or false gods to commit adultery with them in broad daylight and without any shame. Therefore, their end has come!


CONCLUSION
 
Now, in closing, given what we just learned,

let's look at our verse of study one last time and make a brief statement as to what we have learned about it. It reads,  
 
13 And it [the beast]
is doing great wonders [or signs or miracles] that it may also be making fire out of heaven to be descending into the earth in the sight of humans .  
 
In short, what we have learned from this verse is that the beast, which includes Satan as the major or ruling part of the beast, the other fallen angels or demons, which make up another part of the beast, and the unsaved or counterfeit Christians, which make up yet another part of the beast, was used of God to begin the Great Tribulation by bringing God's Judgment against His own Church at the spiritual end of the Church Age beginning on May 21, 1988. During this Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011 when Judgment Day, which consists of many days, began, Satan and his demons of the beast worked through various counterfeit Christians, Pastors, Evangelists, or Prophets to ongoingly do great wonders, signs, or miracles amongst the Church such as but not limited to supposed miraculous healings, or supposed salvations, or receiving supposed messages apart from the Bible and directly from their god in dreams, visions, tongues, voices, words of knowledge, or prophesyings; and while doing such various signs, wonders, or miracles, they also made fire descend out of heaven into the earth (the Church) in the sight of humans. This was not literal fire, but spiritual fire, which is the Judgment of God that came down from heaven into the Church in the sight of humans by making people literally fall backward to the ground

to reveal God's Judgment against all the people in the Christian churches although they did not see it as God's Judgment against them, but they were deceived by their counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, Satan himself who was given rule over them to see it as a blessing from God. Even today, if you turn on your TV to a so-called Christian station say like Trinity Broadcasting Network or some other Christian Networks, you may even see this sign or miracle of making people fall backward still taking place as if it is a blessing from God when, in fact, it is a clear sign of being cursed, and God's Judgment upon them, which began on May 21, 1988 and continues to this very day. 

Knowing all this, we who are God's true people should be greatly encouraged, for when this sign, miracle, or wonder of making people fall backwards should take place during the Great Tribulation as Revelation 13:13 teaches us that it would, and the Biblical Timeline of History says that this Great Tribulation took place from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, which is exactly when we saw this sign, miracle, or wonder of making people fall backward spread like wildfire in the Christian churches and world, not only does this add even more support to the Biblical Timeline of History being true and accurate, but it also validates our view of the End Times and Latter Days that all the churches have rejected: that Judgment began with the House of God on May 21, 1988 by God removing His Holy Spirit from it and handing it over to Satan to bring it to complete spiritual desolation during the Great Tribulation from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011, and even as it is today. And this same Judgment came upon the whole world on May 21, 2011,
the beginning of Judgment Day, until the relatively soon to come Last Day of Judgment Day does come to complete God's Judgment Plan for this world by physically casting all those still in the Christian churches and everyone else that were not spiritually saved in Jesus Christ by May 21, 2011 into the Lake of Fire. God's true people (the Elect) who are but a small remnant who came out of all the Christian churches worldwide to escape God's wrath in obedience to their Lord, only they will live forever in the new heaven and earth created by their King and God, Jesus Christ.  

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him .   

Now, until the next time, may Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee: Yahweh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Yahweh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
