Endnote 13 (back): Revelation 13:3-4. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” [The beast is the Antichrist. The dragon is Satan. Though the people are not here aware of it, their worship is, in effect, worship of the dragon who empowers the beast.]
Revelation 17:8. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come. [This verse is explained in the text associated with endnote 118 in Chapter 10.]
Endnote 14 (back): Genesis 11:1-9. Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Endnote 16 (back): 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Endnote 17 (back): John 3:7. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

Revelation 13:7b. And it [the beast] was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
Endnote 22 (back): Daniel 7:7-8. After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns. While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully. [See also Daniel 7:17, 19, 20.]
Daniel 7:23-24. He [an angel] gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings.
The fourth beast is the United Nations under Christopher. The crushing and devouring described are depicted in 1) the oppression of the followers of Christ, which will be seen later in this volume, 2) the events of the Tribulation (remember that much of the death and destruction is caused by evil men and demonic powers, e.g., the demonic horde of 200 million who slaughter 1/3 of the world’s population; and 3) the gathering to hell of millions of souls. The ten horns are the ten regions that comprise the Security Council. The little horn is the Antichrist (Christopher). The first of the three horns he uprooted was Albert Faure (see Chapter 28 of In His Image). Though Christopher seems here simply to be taking on authority for the two additional regions, recall that the event has been brought about by the slaughter of 1/3 of the world’s population.
Revelation 13:1. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. [This is the Antichrist and the world government he controls.]
Endnote 23 (back): Daniel 7:25a. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. [We can today see the spirit of the Antichrist (referenced in 1 John 4:3) in the effort by many to replace B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini, medieval Latin for “In the year of our Lord”) with B.C.E. (Before Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era).]
Endnote 24 (back): Daniel 9:27. He will confirm a covenant with many for one �
�seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Endnote 25 (back): Revelation 13:18. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. [For an explanation of the Jewish practice of gematria, by which this calculation is made, see Chapter 26 of In His Image.]
Endnote 26 (back): Daniel 9:27. He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

Endnote 30 (back): For a similar occurrence, see John 12:28-29. “Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Endnote 31 (back): Revelation 11:13. At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Endnote 35 (back): Matthew 13:57. And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
Mark 6:4. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”
Endnote 36 (back): Daniel 7:25b. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time. [From Revelation 12:6 and 12:14, we see that a “time” when spoken of in this context, is 360 days or approximately one year, and the total period referenced in Daniel 7:25b is, therefore, 1,260 days.]
Endnote 37 (back): Israel resigned its membership in the United Nations after the realignment of the Security Council. See In His Image, Book One of The Christ Clone Trilogy, Chapter 17.
Endnote 38 (back): Matthew 24:15-16. So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Mark 13:14-16. When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.
Luke 21:21-22. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written.
Endnote 39 (back): Revelation 12:5-6. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

Revelation 12:9a. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
Revelation 12:13-14. When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.
From the context, we see that the male child is Jesus. The woman, therefore, is Mary, but in context, we see that “the woman” also refers to Israel as she flees into the wilderness. Note also that by comparing verse 6 with verse 14, we can calculate that, when spoken of in this context, a “time” is equivalent to 360 days or approximately one year.
Endnote 40 (back): Revelation 12:15-16. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

Endnote 44 (back): Matthew 24:14. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. [While this verse probably refers to world evangelism by the Church, it is nonetheless, also fulfilled here.]

Endnote 46 (back): Daniel 7:25a. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws.
Endnote 47 (back): Revelation 13:14. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It [the second beast, i.e., Milner] ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
