“He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”

According to the verse above, the inhabitants of the earth make an image of the first beast, so then it is the image that is made of him that is the abomination that causes the desolation and not the beast himself himself. Of that image it is said that he will set it up in the holy place and when the Jews see this, they will then know that he is not their messiah, which will then cause the desolation of Jerusalem.

Response: The seventh trumpet has to do with the wrath of God, so it is not the last trumpet refered to in 1 Thes.4:16-17 because that has to do with the Resurrection and catching away. Just because it is the last trumpet out of those seven doesn’t mean that it is referring to the “Last Trumpet.”

You Wrote: When the law is SET UP (Dan.12:11 below) that will be the time that the 144,000 are to flee (Matt.24:15-22).

Response: The 144,000 are from the tribes of Israel who come to the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ. They are also referred to as the First Fruits to God out of Israel. These 144,000 are not the “Woman” of chapter 12, but the woman gives birth to them. These are those who receive the seal of God on their foreheads. The woman who is clothed with the sun, with moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars (Israel), she is the one who is cared for for a time, times and a half a time (3 1/2). The 144,000 are caught up to God’s throne.

Although I agree that any and all messengers of God’s Word has a form of obligation to relay such truths. Nevertheless, eleemosynary gifts spiritually are meant only for the poor in spirit; All others must or (choose) to be reliant upon themselves. Such believe they are rich in knowledge and understanding, but they are poor unto themselves.

I agree with your belief that that man who examples the rider is alive and hidden in this world now. I also believe that he is cognizant somewhat of his future commission and has received instuctions of some of those future tasks.I do not believe he is of the Jewish lineage after the blood line of the Jewish people, but of the Jewish heritage after the blood lineage of Christ the Lord of Glory. Therefore, he is Jewish in alignment with heritage. This man is sometimes called Israel and he will make God’s Word clear (magnify the law, word)(Isa.42:21). God shall also give him understanding of the dark passages and secret places in God’s Word so the meaning is made clear(Isa.45:3). For he inherits all as the prince of Israel, that the King owns (Jer.49:1-2). Nevertheless, he must first experience great chastisement toward purity (Isa.48:10); this is the meaning of the Book of Job (the time of (the man) Jacob’s/Israel’s trouble. For God once called him forth but he refused obedience and God’s commands, and lost the salvation of a multitude (Isa.48:18-19).
I believe he is one of two (Rev.11:3) who has been called unto a perfect commission in the MOST HIGH. I believe he is the man child of (Rev.12:5) and his mother represents America (Rev.12:1). I further believe that this hidden one is the prophet and patriarch Enoch, and I believe the Book of Enoch declares him as the Hidden One, Righteous One, Chosen One, Elect One, and son of man. I believe God’s Word makes it clear that that man is destined to be and has the preeminence of all that has or will be created by the Trinity. In otherwords, God has favored Enoch as the highest form and first-born (spiritually) of all His creation. Jesus was never the first-born (spiritually) for he always existed (spiritually). Jesus is the first-born of many brethern and the first-born from the dead, but not spiritually. Jesus is the creator of all things (John.1-3). Life comes from Him! Therefore, He could never be first born and then give life, when he is the original source! Therefore, this is the meaning of “Israel is my son”, God’s first-born (Exod.4:22). Not a nation alone is referred to here, but a son (one of the make-up of flesh and blood!). I believe that hidden one is revealed throughout all of Scripture, but it seems few recognizes what they are not instructed to see.
