I have included a special message at the end of this article for those who have reached the point where the burden of evidence that the world is spinning out of control is overwhelming. I hope you will read and take to heart what God requires in order to give His free gift of eternal life, as He has declared is His will for all who trust in Him.

Before medical professionals begin treatment for an illness, out of necessity they conduct tests in order to understand the real problem and arrive at an appropriate cure.

Doesn’t that make sense?

Recently, Congressman Randy Fine from Florida took an admirable stand and is getting a lot of heat from the usual suspects for doing so, but he illustrated the same mental condition that has been prevalent in this country since 11 September 2001 – which is best defined by a statement made by George W. Bush on 17 September 2001 that included this phrase, “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.”

In the above article resides the line that says it all: “Fine, in a discussion with The Hill, said he is clearly differentiating between “mainstream Islam” and “radical Islam.” Really!

He may have the Dems whimpering, but the Muslims will not be. They will be continuing their plans to destroy America (iḥtilāl) from within. This is much more serious than far too many people realize or have the courage to declare. It is existentially serious.

It’s not like it is impossible to understand what Islam IS truly all about with all the carefully researched information that has been revealed since 911.

But even more significant, the truth of Islam is now being revealed by many of its adherents on the streets of American cities (and has long been displayed on the streets of their own cities), where they have concentrated their presence (ribat), and it grows like a cancer. (This is not to mention the unfolding disaster in European countries.)

Any honest investigation will reveal the following:

Radical Islam IS mainstream Islam. The truth as revealed in the Quran is Islam for selective public consumption, but it is the Hadiths where the true face of Islam resides – and world history confirms it. The adherents of Islam assign equal authority to both.

They are diligently establishing FOB’s (Forward Operating Bases) – Ribats, all over the U.S., like it is a military operation. And that is exactly what it is: Divide and Conquer.

It’s just as simple as that.

The world has had several centuries (since 610AD +/-) of empirical evidence to extrapolate the actual execution of this ideology, and it only bears any resemblance to “peace” when those enslaved by it allow it to happen and bow the knee. History reveals the “peace” is temporary and expensive.

A small example of what Islam would enforce if they ever get to the point where they attain the power to do so, is to tell people in this country (which they do not control yet) what they can or can NOT have in their own homes. But they will if they are able to take control by using our own freedoms against us. The dog blathering is just a preview of the tyranny that exists just below the surface under the true tenets of their “religion.”

It is illustrative that the God of Creation (who is in no way to be confused with the false god of Islam) created dogs. I believe He did that because they serve as an example of what unconditional love and loyalty look like. That is something that is wholly missing from Islam and, indeed, from all false religions.

Congressman Fine was trying to be politically correct for whatever reason, but you can bet the followers of Islam – once they attain a certain level of power and control – will not. Look at conditions in their own countries. In short order, it would be like that here.

The more outspoken Muslims are already promising they will take over America and are actively pursuing it with the help of far too many ignorant or just plain stupid politicians and their brain-dead media sycophants, who apparently think they will safely occupy some sort of secure role in the newly destroyed America. If Islam secures the power, they will discover their true role – dhimmitude/servitude, and freedom will be MIA.

The old story about the Trojan Horse is a sad analogy of what is happening right here and right now. They are already inside the gates, which were thrown open by the previous demented “leaders” and their deluded and blind supporters.

Out of fairness (but not political correctness), not every Muslim is a co-conspirator in this coup against this country. Like many Christians are Christians in name only (nominal), there are nominal Muslims as well, but they still follow an ideology that is completely anathema to our Constitution and is incompatible with our form of government. Their ideology will not permit them to assimilate. It only permits them to dominate, and outright lying (taqiyya) is an authorized directive for accomplishing it.

Now to the crux of this article.

There is only one God, and He has made it plain who He is and the power He will exercise by His own authority, and in His own time, and for His own reasons:

“Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’” (Isaiah 46:9-10).

Only the One True God has declared the end from the beginning and has done so in the well-known and extensively studied prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39, as just one example.

It is not His purpose to allow Islam to rule over His world, and He won’t.

I believe He will soon illustrate that He and He alone is God when the armies of Islam and their willing allies attack the Jews and He directly intervenes by utterly destroying them on the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38/39).

“I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and I will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 38:23).

He has also declared that He will finish off all of His enemies during the prophesied 70^th week of Daniel (Chapter 9:27) – [Also referred to as the Tribulation and/or Time of Jacob’s Trouble]. Who are God’s enemies? Read the Bible (Luke 11:23) to find out.

If America is to survive the coming destruction prophesied in the book of Revelation beginning in Chapter 4, verse 1, our country had better wake up and choose who we will serve. Any nation or kingdom that will not serve God will be completely destroyed.

God’s Word does not provide any reason to believe that evil will be overcome by anyone other than the Lord when He directly intervenes in human history, beginning with His removal of all who have received Jesus Christ’s sacrifice to pay for their sins – the very real and impending Rapture. There is only one refuge.

Please read the following Special Message, and I pray you will act on God’s Grace. If you chose to, you must do so while you are yet in your living years.

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no real hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

• Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
• Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
• That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
• To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
• Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
• To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

• No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
• No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
• Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

From the Messianic Sufferings to the Heavenly Throne

In the grand, integrated design of the Koinonia—the Holy Scriptures—we find a “hyper-dimensional” integrity that defies human authorship. To the believer and non-believer alike, history is not a series of accidents; it is a meticulously choreographed sequence of events where the Old Testament “conceals” what the New Testament “reveals.” When we look at the trajectory from the agonizing depths of Psalm 22 and the substitutionary atonement of Isaiah 53, we aren’t just looking at history—we are looking at the legal credentials of the King of Kings in Revelation 5.

The Anatomical Prophecy: Psalm 22 and the Tola’at

Written a millennium before the Roman Empire perfected the horror of crucifixion, Psalm 22 provides a “first-person” perspective of the Cross. David, under the direct inspiration of the Ruach HaKodesh, captures the specific physiological details of the ordeal: “They pierced my hands and my feet” (v. 16).

However, the deep “code” lies in verse 6: “But I am a worm, and no man.” The Hebrew word here is not the standard rimmah, but Tola’at. This is the Coccus Ilicis, the “Crimson Worm.” When the female Tola’at is ready to give birth, she attaches herself to a wooden tree, forming a hard shell. As the larvae are born, they are covered in a crimson fluid that stains both the mother and the wood. Three days later, the body of the worm turns into a white wax, like snow.

This is a biological “Type.” The Messiah, attached to the wood of the Cross, shed His crimson blood to cover His “children,” fulfilling the promise of Isaiah 1:18: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” This Psalm isn’t a cry of defeat; it is the opening movement of a legal claim.

The Legal Brief of the Servant: Isaiah 53

While Psalm 22 gives us the feeling, Isaiah 53 gives us the function. This is the “Holy of Holies” of the Tanakh. Isaiah presents the Mashiach as the Asham—the guilt offering required by the Torah for a trespass against the property of God.

“He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities” (v. 5). From a dispensational perspective, this is the pivotal moment where the “Prophetic Clock” for Israel stops and the “Gap”—the Church Age—begins. Isaiah 53:10 tells us it “pleased the Lord to bruise Him.” Why? Because the Mashiach was acting as the Goel—the Kinsman Redeemer. He had to be “cut off” (Daniel 9:26) to provide the legal basis for the Church Age; the blood shed here provides the “Title Deed” that we see later in the hand of the Father.

The Midrashic Mystery: Mashiach ben Yosef

To understand the depth of this transition, we must look at the Midrashic framework of the two Messiahs: Mashiach ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant) and Mashiach ben David (the Conquering King).

In Jewish hermeneutics, Joseph is the ultimate “type” of the suffering one—rejected by his brothers, cast into a pit, and sold for silver. This Midrashic theme is the backbone of Isaiah 53. Just as Joseph’s brothers did not recognize him in his Egyptian glory, Israel “esteemed Him not” in His first advent. But Revelation 5 is the Remez (the hint) of the Great Reveal. When the Lamb steps forward, He is the Joseph who has come out of the prison of the grave to rule the world. He fulfills the “suffering” requirement of ben Yosef to earn the “throne” of ben David.

The Mathematical Symmetry: The Seven-Fold Mirror

The connection between the “Man of Sorrows” and the “Worthy Lamb” is further sealed by a striking mathematical symmetry. In Revelation 5:12, the heavenly host erupts in a seven-fold praise: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”

This is not a random list; it is the divine reversal of the seven aspects of humiliation found in the “brief” of Isaiah 53:

1. Power: He was “brought as a lamb to the slaughter” (v. 7)—the ultimate surrender of power.
   2. Riches: He was “cut off out of the land of the living” (v. 8), possessing nothing, even buried in a borrowed tomb (v. 9).
   3. Wisdom: He was “esteemed not” (v. 3), viewed as a fool by the world’s wisdom.
   4. Strength: He was “stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted” (v. 4) until His strength was “dried up like a potsherd” (Psalm 22:15).
   5. Honour: He was “despised and rejected of men” (v. 3).
   6. Glory: “His visage was so marred more than any man” (Isaiah 52:14), stripped of all earthly glory.
   7. Blessing: He became a “curse for us,” for it pleased the Lord to “bruise Him” (v. 10).

In Revelation 5, the Lamb receives back exactly what He laid down in the previous dispensation. Every “stripe” from Isaiah 53 becomes a “seal” of authority in Revelation 5.

The Title Deed to Earth: Revelation 5 and the Standing Lamb

The scene shifts from the dust of Golgotha to the crystalline splendor of the Throne Room. John weeps because no one is found worthy to open the seven-sealed scroll. In the ancient Near East, this was the format of a Kinsman Redeemer’s scroll—a Title Deed to lost property. Under the Law of Moses (Leviticus 25), only a relative who was debt-free and willing could redeem what was lost.

Suddenly, the announcement is made: “The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has prevailed.” But when John looks, he sees a Lamb as it had been slain (arnion) (v. 6).

The Greek grammar here is explosive. The word for “slain” is esphagmenon (perfect passive participle), meaning “having been slaughtered once and for all, with the results continuing.” Yet, the Lamb is standing. This is the ultimate refutation of Gnostic allegorizing. He is not a “spirit” or a “metaphor”; He is a resurrected physical reality. He carries the marks of Psalm 22 into the dimensions of eternity. He is the only one with the “right of redemption” because He is both Kin to the fallen (the Adamic race) and Able to pay the price (the Divine nature).

The Presence of the Elders: Proof of the Blessed Hope

Perhaps the most crucial dispensational detail in Revelation 5 is the identity of the Twenty-Four Elders. They are seen wearing stephanos (victor’s crowns) and sitting on thronos (v. 4). Note their song: “Thou… hast redeemed us to God by thy blood” (v. 9).

These are not angels; angels aren’t redeemed by blood. These represent the completed Church. Their presence in the Throne Room—before the first seal of the Tribulation is broken in Chapter 6—is the definitive “smoking gun” of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. The Church, having been justified by the blood of the Psalm 22 sacrifice, is already relocated to the heavenly dispensation before the “Wrath of the Lamb” begins.

The Jubilee Scroll: Evicting the Usurper

Finally, we must recognize that the Seven-Sealed Scroll is the legal instrument of the Jubilee. Under Levitical law, if a man lost his inheritance due to debt, the “Title Deed” was sealed until a Goel (Redeemer) appeared to pay the price. This scroll in Revelation 5 represents the Earth’s mortgage.

The seals are not just “judgments”—they are the legal eviction notices to the usurper, Satan. Because the Lamb was “slain” in the manner of Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, He alone has the legal standing to break the seals and reclaim the inheritance. The Tribulation is simply the “Closing of Escrow” on the planet.

The Conclusion of the Matter

We are living in the “Interval.” The price was paid in the Psalms and Isaiah; the deed is claimed in Revelation. As the “Rapture Ready” generation, we must realize that the one who “opened not His mouth” (Isaiah 53:7) is about to roar as the Lion. The suffering Servant of the first advent has become the reigning Sovereign of the second.

The question for every reader is simple: Have you applied the blood of the Tola’at from Isaiah 53 to your own account before the scroll of Revelation 5 is unsealed? The clock is ticking, and the King is at the door.
