Who are
the Ships of the West and what will the impact of their mission have
upon the lives of you and I?
The
passage comes from one of the most exciting portions of
prophecy in the book of Daniel
and it reads as follows; |
|
"Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him,
and he will lose
heart. Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy
covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy
covenant" (Daniel 11:30).
|
Now did that make any sense to you?
Probably not. The entire vision
(read Daniel chapter 10 through 12) has intrigued Bible students for
hundreds of years and not even Daniel himself was permitted to
understand the cryptic message! "I
heard, but I did not understand. "So I asked, "My lord, what will
the outcome of all this be?" (Daniel 12:8). God's reply to
the inquisitive prophet was firm,
"Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed
until the time of the end" (Daniel 12:9).
A significant indication
that we have approached the last days is the declassification
and dissemination of Daniel's sealed vision. Once this knowledge has
been understood, the events that were described so long ago can be
sequentially predicted! This skeptical society of ours desperately
needs to see a real time demonstration of prophetic fulfillment based
on the Word of God.
Everyone must understand
the importance of Daniel’s vision and its relevance to those who are
called to live through the last days. When Christ's disciples asked
for signs of the end of the world, Jesus pointed them to the book of
Daniel.
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet...Then
let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains...For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world
to this time, no, nor shall ever be" (Matthew 24:21-15).
Like it or not, our
civilization will be taken on a ride that requires each passenger to
be properly secured. Turbulent times are just ahead of us. God has
chosen that our generation shall live through the “Great
Tribulation”.
There have been many
chaotic periods throughout the course of history, the annihilation of
Noah’s civilization has been the most destructive calamity to date.
Noah's mission was simple. (1) Publicly warn a careless and
unbelieving society. (2) Count down to the very year of impending
disaster. (3) Build a vessel of safety. -The Ships of the West - are
living vessels, commissioned to carry a similar warning message from
heaven. They are the time keepers, counting down to the most
destructive period of earth’s history! They will accomplish this
before a violent and unbelieving world.
To understand what the
future events hold, I must reveal the identities of the symbolic
players, with special attention given to the
King of the North. Once he is
identified, we can better understand the mission of the
Ships of the
Western Coastlands. Other important
symbols which are vital to our understanding include;
the King of the South, the
Holy Covenant,
the
god of forces, the
Daily sacrifice, the
seas,
the
Glorious Holy
Mountain, and the
Abomination of
Desolation. Below is a brief summary of
my conclusions;
The King of the
North represents the Papacy, more specifically, the work of Pope
John Paul II. This Pope will assume control over ten European
nations, primarily the dormant Communist nations recently accepted
into the European Union. Seven of these nations will comply
willingly, but three will submit to his policies by force. As this
begins to occur, the Ships of the Western Coastlands (God’s |
|
holy people) will
arise to oppose the work of Pope John Paul II.
The opposition brought forth by the Ships of the West will expose
this Popes arrogant
intentions. His grief will bring about sympathy of modern Protestantism and to
a great degree, unity shall occur between these two ideologies. When Protestantism and the Papal power unite,
they will influence the governing powers of the United States to enforce laws
restricting free speech and worship. (Conscientious worship practices shall
appear to be the weakness of the Ships of the West) This oppressive
action shall mark the beginning of the 1290 day countdown, leading to
the “Great Tribulation”.
"From the time
that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes
desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days" (Daniel 12:11).
My objective is to fulfill
the following Prophetic command;
"Write down the
revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with
it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end
and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will
certainly come and will not delay" (Habakkuk 2:2-3).
It
is the Divine prerogative that you shall receive instruction point by
point as to the meaning of Daniel’s vision, for it is written in the
prophecy,
"They that
understand among the people shall instruct many” (Daniel 11:33).
My
desire is that these subjects become widely viewed and carefully
studied. I would not be offended if you
did not accept my initial conclusion at face value, for I know that
the scenario I have mentioned, appears impossible today. But when it
does finally come to pass, it will cause many to gain confidence in
the Bible as the true word of God.
"I have told you
now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe"
(John 14:29).
It has been my desire to
decipher these prophetic mysteries. I began my search as a teenager.
As I prayed for guidance, I was directed to an educational system
modeled after the “Schools of the Prophets” of ancient Israel. I was
challenged by my instructors to ponder the future according to the
writings of Daniel and the Revelation. Since 1977, I have observed the
work of the Papacy and began to associate its modern history with
Bible prophecy. I developed a theory based upon the logic of Daniel
and Revelation. And as I observed, prophecies fulfilled before me!
In 1983, I concluded that
if my theory was correct, Pope John Paul II would cause the fall of
Communism. I began to share these thoughts at a time when America
and the Soviet Union were at the height of the Arms race. During
that time, there was no hint of political instability. Then in 1989, the
power of Communism imploded, and to a great degree, Pope John Paul II
received credit for it's demise.
I have not lost confidence
in the knowledge I have gained through my research. I believe it is
time to share this knowledge on a large scale, the time is near for
the Ships of the West to set their course!
“By smooth words
he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the
covenant, but
the people who know their God will display strength and take action”
(Daniel 11:32).
As you prayerfully search
the scriptures for yourself, the Spirit of God will create a force
within you that the world cannot contain. As you consider the nearness
of the second coming of Jesus, you will be moved to alert your loved
ones, your neighbors, and even strangers as to your convictions. Get
ready for the Ships of the Western coastlands! They are those who have
foreknowledge of prophetic events soon to come and are willing to act
upon it!
“When ye
see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh
at hand...This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled”
(Luke 21:32).
