PALM SUNDAY
Why did this Beast appear in the heavenlies on “Palm Sunday”? See #7 at the bottom of this Vision.
Three IMPORTANT notes were added by God on June 22, 2013. All three are very important for understanding this vision. All three are included here. I do not believe that this Vision has been completely revealed.]
[Revelation 13:11-18]
Then I {Apostle John} saw another BEAST COMING UP OUT OF THE EARTH, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a DRAGON {satan, devil}. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast {beast from the sea} in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast {from the sea}, whose deadly wound was healed. He {the beast from the earth} performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast {from the sea}, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast {from the sea} who was wounded by the sword and lived. He {beast from the earth} was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast {from the sea}, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast {from the sea} to be killed. He {beast of the earth} causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. NKJV
God asks me, “What do you see?”
It is as if I see my own hand and arm in front of me, yet it is separate from me. My arm is raised and I have a sword in my hand that looks about a foot long. I have on an older type of armor that I have never seen before. The arm sleeve looks like fabric and the gloved hand looks like leather, but I am not sure about either of these materials.
I stand looking out at the dark black sky, with my sword raised in my right hand and arm. I am standing on a flat area that looks like an outside balcony or porch. This is attached to a very old, and badly depleted stone structure that looks a lot like a castle. This old stone structure sits slightly outside a city that is also extremely old; it appears to have been bombed and burned: it is crumbling.
I can barely see the city because it is embodied in a dark gray, foggy or smoky night sky. I can tell that this city has had large buildings surrounding it. Their original, now crumbling, structures look like they may have encircled the city as a wall at one time. It is difficult to tell for sure because the once tall buildings are in such bad shape. In the middle of the city is a huge black hole that I cannot see the bottom of. As I stand on the raised porch or balcony, I stand at one edge, and slightly over this hole or (1)pit.
In front of me, through the gray foggy sky, I see an orange yellow light in the distant horizon. The light looks as if it could be a huge fire, but I am not sure. The light is ascending from the earth; it lays at the earth’s horizon and ascends into the heavenlies. Though this light sits mostly in the North, it lies between the North (straight ahead of me) and the East (to the right of me). I continue to see this light for a while, and then suddenly everything is dark and I stand in total blackness; it is night.
[NOTE (Added 6/22/13): God has said that the orange yellow light in the “distant horizon” is His own army from both heaven and earth fighting together as one. Notice that they were slowly winning as they expanded from the North East into the North West (see below). Amazingly, this is approximately the same heavenly area that the Beast moved into earlier. However, at the end of this Vision the Beast still remains in the North Eastern quarter, while God’s light has expanded slightly into the North Western quarter through His people.
Again, the image of the Beast entered from the East and stoped between the Northern and Eastern quarters. God’s Army/Beloveds fought against the enemy on the horizon, thus indicating that both Heaven and earth are fighting together WITHIN THE SPIRITUAL REALM WHILE ON EARTH. They were in spiritual battle, and all Beings fighting were spirits who walk and worship in the Spirit, whether from heaven or earth.]
I see an image entering into the sky high above me. The image came from the earth and I see him rise into the heavenlies. I very quickly ask myself if he could have come from the (1)pit in front of me. The image enters from the East and stops between the Northern and Eastern quarters. My focus is no longer on the yellow orange light in the horizon. This light may have remained there, but I doubt this because of the intense darkness that I am now standing in.
There is tremendous power in this huge image; it fills the heavenly skies clear down to the earth. The sky remains black, but the image has a golden light that highlights and outlines the form of a warrior in armor with his long lance drawn. It looks as if the stars might be outlining the form and image that I see.
He sits on a horse. Both the horse and the warrior look like they belong to the (4)knights and an era of jousting. I am now totally focused on the image and realize that it moves as if it is a ghost: how most of us imagine a ghost moves. However, it is dressed in what appears to be Roman armor – though I know nothing about this type of thing. The image is wavy in its spiritual appearance and I continue to see the dark sky through it. The image continues to fill the Eastern to Northern sky COMPLETELY.
Though I cannot see his face, through my Holy Spirit filled spirit I see that this Being is ugly (using Spiritual Discernment). I say to myself, and to God many times, “He is so ugly.” I know without a doubt that this Being is arrogant. The evil makes him so black and ugly that I am literally repulsed by him.
God speaks, and says very clearly, “This is (1)THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH.” God tells me, “He has come from the black hole in front of you. The black hole was once in the middle of the city. God causes me to think of the scripture (2)about the locusts ascending from the (1)pit at the end of time.
God says to me that the name of this image and Being is (3)“Abomination.”
God says, “What do you see?”
I see that the sky from the East, clear over to the West, is all black now. As I am thinking on this, the full horizon explodes with the orange yellow light all the way from the East to the West; though it is still centered in the North it extends clear over to the West now, and does not stop in the Northern section of the sky.
I can still see my right arm and hand raised with my rather short sword, compared to the Beast’s very long lance: as I again stand in the gray black. As I see the (3)“Abomination” I think to myself, in my mind, “This is what I’m up against, what we Christians are up against.” Surprisingly, I am not afraid. In fact, I don’t feel anything. I am only allowed, by God, to reflect on the difference between this immense Being, with his long lance/sword drawn, and how very small I am with my short sword drawn. I understand that there is no way I/we can win over this spiritual powerful and huge enemy unless God intercedes for us.
[NOTE April 3, 2013: This morning as I am re-typing this, God reminded me that the “sword” is the Holy Spirit, and that I represent His people. With this in mind, He pointed out that the presence of the Holy Spirit in the hands of His people is now very limited. This is not His choice, He says, but ours. I am reminded, by Him, that only His strongest within His Holy Spirit are able to stand and bear witness to this immense darkness and evil that is going to manifest soon, and is even now manifesting upon the earth. Praise God for His Spirit Filled Remnant!]
God says, during this part of the vision, “Italy.” He then says, (5)“Rome.” I remember that the (3)Abomination on the horse was in (4)armor that I thought was Roman. I hear God confirm and say that the city is (5)Rome. He says, “Italy” first, but then clarifies that the city with the (1)pit is [Spiritual, and perhaps physical?] Rome. I quickly see Rome in Christ’s time and remember that they were the government in Israel at the time of Christ’s trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. However, all mankind had/has fallen, and Christ suffered and died for all.
SUMMATION
The (3)“Abomination” in this vision, is an armor clad Being; the armor is, or is similar to the armor worn by (4)knights. He rides from the East to the North on a horse that he never dismounts. He has the armor’s mask over his face. It is the old jousting type mask: the helmet’s face shield comes down from the top of the helmet and covers his face. His sword, or lance is drawn; he is ready and waiting to go into battle.
I can see him more clearly now. His armor is metal and his helmet is also metal. His image still fills the sky from the East to the North, and slightly into the North West.
God confirms, at the end of this Vision, that (1)the Beast, who comes from the earth in the Bible, has risen. He has risen from the earth and is seen in the heavenlies within the Spiritual realm.”
[NOTE: (Added 6/22/13) In this Vision we saw a huge “risen” Beast in the black sky that had risen from the pit in the earth. I/we were small in comparison. Jesus has said to think of this comparison in size as David and Goliath. We are not to fear. It is obvious that God has permitted this Beast to rise from the earth at this time. We are very close to the end now, and the (6)anti-Christ, the two beasts [1 from the earth and 1 from the sea], the false prophet etc. will soon be seen on earth in the physical realm also. The devil, the Beast or anti-Christ, and the false prophet, will form an unholy trinity copying God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit.
[NOTE (Added 4/19/13 at God’s request): We will begin to see escalating world power and the one world government develop now. This beast, according to the Bible, will now manifest into the physical realm. The Bible indicates that, once he has risen, he will manifest into the physical and conclude God’s plans for him, just as we all will.
[NOTE added 6/22/2013: Recently, Jesus taught me more about where I was standing and what I saw in this Vision. He told me that the place where I stood is the physical and SPIRITUAL site/city/place where Christ was crucified.
(Rev 11:7-8)
When they [the two witnesses] finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit [God said this Beast has risen] will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which SPIRITUALLY IS CALLED SODOM AND EGYPT, WHERE CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
I believe, that until God says otherwise, this is similar to what we read in Revelation 14:8, “And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Many people believe this is the whole world, and not just the city of Babylon.

[NOTES]
(1) “pit” (+) bottomless pit”:
[Revelation 11:7-9]
When they {the two witnesses} finish their testimony, the (*)beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. NKJV
[Revelation 17:8]
The (*)BEAST that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. NKJV
(*)The Beast … may refer to two beasts described in the Book of Revelation. The first beast comes from “out of the sea” and is given authority and power by the dragon. This first beast is initially mentioned in Revelation 11:7 as coming out of the (**)abyss. His appearance is described in detail in Revelation 13:1-10 and some of the mystery behind his appearance is revealed in Revelation 17:7-18. The second beast comes from “out of the earth” and directs all peoples of the earth to worship the first beast. The second beast is described in Revelation 13:11-18 and is also referred to as the false prophet. The two beasts are aligned with the dragon {satan, devil} in opposition to God. They persecute Christians and influence the kings of the earth to gather for the battle of Armageddon. The two beasts are defeated by Christ and are thrown into the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation 19:18-20 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_(Revelation)
(**) “abyss”: “In the NT the abyss is the abode of the imprisoned demons (Rev 9). At least many of the demons whom Jesus expelled in His earthly ministry were commanded to return to the abyss (cf. Luke 8:31), but these evil spirits dreaded to go there before their predetermined time. Myriads of demons will be let loose during the period of Tribulation to energize age-end apostasy and revolt against God and His Christ, but will be shut up again in this prison together with Satan at the second advent of Christ (20:1-3).
The abyss is therefore to be distinguished from sheol (hell) or hades… This “unseen world” is revealed as the place of departed human spirits between death and the resurrection (Matt 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; Rev 1:18; 20:13-14). It is also to be distinguished from “tartarus,” the “prison abode of fallen angels” (cf. 2 Peter 2:4) and “the lake of fire” (Rev 19:20; 20:10; 21:8), or the eternal abode of ALL WICKED, UNREPENTANT CREATURES, including Satan, angels, and men.
The LXX renders Heb. tehom, “the primeval ocean” (Gen 1:2 Ps 24:2 , etc.) as “abyss.” In classical Gk. the word abussos is always an adjective meaning “very deep” (“bottomless”) or “unfathomable” (“boundless”)…. (from The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary…)
(2) “about the locusts ascending from the (1)pit at the end of time”:
There are verses in the Bible that teach us that “Locusts” are not necessarily literal bugs. Nahum 3:1-17 is such a verse. Remember, that I did not see the locusts, but was reminded of the verse Revelation 9:1-11.
[Rev 9:1-11] Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless (1)pit. 2 And he opened the (1)bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the (1)pit. 3 Then out of the smoke LOCUSTS came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the (1)bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon {destroying angel}, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon {a destroyer, satan}. NKJV
(3) “Abomination”: Please remember that God said in this Vision that “Abomination” is the name of the “BEAST”. {Verses showing various meanings and uses for the word/name “abomination}:
(Daniel 11:31) And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation [OT:8251 Disgusting, i.e. filthy; especially idolatrous or (concretely) an idol”]
(Daniel 12:11)”And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days {most believe this to be 3 ½ years}. NKJV
(Hosea 9:10) “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season… and {they} separated themselves to that shame; they became an abomination like the thing they loved. NKJV
(Malachi 2:11) Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem, For Judah has profaned The Lord’s holy institution which He loves: he has married the daughter of a foreign god. NKJV
(Mark 13:14) [The Great Tribulation (Matt 24:15-28; Luke 21:20-24)] “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation [to lay waste],’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. NKJV
(Luke 16:1)5 And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. NKJV
(4) “armor that I perceived in my mind to be Roman” (+) “both the horse and the warrior look like they belong to the knights and an era of jousting” (+) “The Abomination becomes an armor clad Being, similar to the armor worn by knights on a horse”:
“Armor and Weapons:
Throughout the Middle Ages, the armor used by knights varied. Knights in the early Middle Ages, using technology from the Romans, wore leather armor. Leather was very expensive, but it could be easily shaped and hardened by boiling in water or oil. It was effective in stopping sword cuts but was vulnerable to thrusts and arrows. Throughout the Middle Ages, knights wore chain mail (again, technology borrowed from the Romans). Chain mail consisted of small, interwoven steel rings. The ends of the rings could be close to one another (butted mail) or affixed with a metal rivet (riveted mail). Chain mail was relatively easy to make, cheaper than later forms of armor and relatively effective in stopping a slice from a weapon. However, it was vulnerable to pointed weapons.
As blacksmiths and armorers improved their metalworking skills, they developed plate armor in the latter half of the Middle Ages.”
(5) “Rome:” I remember that the Abomination on the horse was in armor that I thought was Roman. I hear God tell me that the city is Rome. He says, “Italy” first, but then clarifies that the city with the pit is {Spiritual, and perhaps physical?} Rome. I quickly see Rome in Christ’s time”:
(vs Revelation 17:9-10)” The seven heads of the beast (v 3) symbolize the seven mountains and seven kings. Since the word “mountains” means hills in Revelation (14:1), most interpreters understand this as referring to the seven hills along the Tiber River, a well-known designation of the city of Rome.
However, “seven mountains” may also refer to successive world empires, since mountains are typically symbols of earthly kingdoms or empires.
(see Psalms 30:7; Jer 51:25; Dan 2:44, 45). According to this view, five would be past kingdoms (perhaps Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece), with sixth being the Roman Empire and seventh another which “has not yet come.”
Perhaps it is to be a revived Roman Empire. “Kings” may refer to Roman emperors, but this is unlikely since more than five had reigned before the writing of Revelation.
(vs Rev 11,12) “The beast … is … the eighth [of the heads], and is of the seven”: The beast is related to the seventh king, but may express the worldwide amazement that the beast was healed from a deadly wound to rule the world again (13:3). It seems that the eighth world empire is some sort of a revived Roman Empire over which the Anti-Christ establishes the imperial authority of a dictator. He will overcome three horns, or nations (see Dan 7:20) and will claim universal authority….”
(6) “anti-Christ”: “Anti” means “against” and in this case, this person would be anyone against Christ Jesus. Many believe a false Messiah who will claim to be the true Messiah, Jesus Christ.
The following is copied from Nelson’s Illustrated Bible Dictionary…
ANTICHRIST
A false prophet and evil being who will set himself up against Christ and the people of God in the last days before the SECOND COMING [of Christ]. The term is used only in the writings of John in the New Testament. It refers to one who stands in opposition to all that Jesus Christ represents (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 7). John wrote that several antichrists existed already in his day-false teachers who denied the deity and the incarnation of Christ-but that the supreme Antichrist of history would appear at some future time [see 1 John 2:18-23].
The Antichrist’s primary work is deception, which also characterizes SATAN in his attempts to undermine the work of God in the world. Satan’s deception began in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3) and will continue until the end of time. The DRAGON (or serpent) of Rev 12 is Satan, the Serpent mentioned in Gen 3. Thus the thread of Satan’s deceptive work may be traced from Genesis through Revelation. That work reaches its climax in the Antichrist, who receives his authority and power from the dragon, Satan (Rev 13:4).
The work of Satan through the Antichrist is clearly rooted in the prophecies of Daniel. Daniel spoke of a dreadful beast with ten horns and one little horn (Dan 7:7-8). The Ancient of Days will kill the beast and throw it in the fire (Dan 7:11). Then, according to Daniel, one like the Son of Man will receive the everlasting kingdom (Dan 7:13-14).
The Antichrist will be the sum total of the beasts referred to in Dan 7 (Rev 13:1-4). He will speak arrogant, boastful words; and he will be aided by a FALSE PROPHET, who will make the entire earth worship him (Rev 13:11-12) and receive his mark (Rev 13:16-17). The number of the beast, says John, is 666-a mysterious code name.
Those who worship the Antichrist will experience certain doom through the wrath of God (Rev 14:9-11). The Antichrist makes war against Christ and His army, but he is captured and is “cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone” (Rev 19:20). He is later joined by the DEVIL; together they “will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Rev 20:10). The DEVIL, the BEAST (or Antichrist), and the FALSE PROPHET FORM AN UNHOLY TRINITY, COUNTERFEITING FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT. After much wickedness and suffering has been loosed against Christ and His people, the satanic rebellion WILL BE CRUSHED BY THE POWER OF GOD.
Although the apostle Paul does not use the term Antichrist, he surely had the Antichrist in mind when he wrote of the great apostasy, or falling away, that would occur before the return of Christ (2 Thess 2:1-12). The Antichrist is also called the lawless one (v. 9) who, empowered and inspired by Satan, will lead the final rebellion against God (v. 3, NEB), but will be destroyed at the coming of the Lord. Paul urges believers to stand firm in the faith and not be deceived by the Antichrist who will display “all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders” (2 Thess 2:9, NIV).
The times when the Antichrist will appear will be very hard for the faithful. They need to be prepared with special instructions on how to deal with this unsettling event.”
[NOTE UPDATE: At the beginning of June, or the end of May 2014: God showed me the following UPDATE: A brilliant and huge sunshine looking light flooded this vision from the West. In this vision you will see me (representing some of God’s people) standing alone in the black darkness with a small sword raised against Christ’s enemy, the Beast from the earth. The “Beast” carried a huge lance looking weapon as his sword. In this UPDATE, we do not see any of these things, not even the Beast.
Obviously, the Beast is not gone (according to the Bible and the book of Revelation). Instead, I believe that this light, that literally consumed the following vision, “The Beast From The Earth Has Risen”, all of its buildings, my arm and sword, the beast etc, was given to me slightly over a year later so that we would know that both harvests mentioned in Revelation have begun, or are about to begin. Again, the first vision with the Beast from the earth was seen on March 23, 2013. The beast from the earth is first discussed in Rev 13:11-18, and off and on again until the end of Revelation. This light shows God’s overwhelming power over satan, the devil, and his at some later point in time.]
(7) “Why did this Beast appear in the heavenlies on “Palm Sunday”?:
John 12:12-15, teaches us that on Palm Sunday, “…A great multitude had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”
Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
“Fear not, daughter of Zion [also Jerusalem and New Jerusalem]; behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” NKJV
Only Kings were treated in this fashion:
(2 Kings 9:13) Then each man hastened to take his garment and put it under him on the top of the steps; and they blew trumpets, saying, “Jehu is king!” NKJV
The Beast is an imitator of God our Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Though he is unsuccessful in convincing God’s people that he is their real King from heaven he is determined to manifest as such in the world. This is why he rides a horse (not a donkey) and he is in full armor (as a warrior or king would be); and absolutely why he first appears in the heavenlies.
