5. The booklet of John
(Revelation 10: 9) 9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
. All quotations from the New King James translation
In the last days, the world comes under control of the children of Satan. Unscrupulous opportunists, who only think about self-interest.
Satan was a murderer, starting from faithful Abel (John 8: 44), and that’s where his children will also end in. Like despots and malicious philanthropists. Impostors who will mislead people worldwide, commit fraud in elections and giving orders to mistreat peaceful people by a Praetorian regime (Roman special corps for the elite) and to humiliate them. But also the bought media, that look away and censor. Honesty has disappeared from these folks. We will have to endure this behavior for years to come.
At times it can make you angry and sad, but try not to sin (Psalm 4: 5).
You know the fate of the children of Satan; vengeance is God’s.
Once God’s people will be enslaved, plagues will erupt as was the case when God’s people were enslaved in Egypt. When the persecution increases further, the great tribulation, then that is the war against God’s people.
Be assured, Jesus will battle to the extremity for His disciples (Rev. 19: 11-16).

In the previous article we talked about the eternal life of a human being, how the spirit will have a determining function in this and what the kingdom of God really is.
We also spoke about the second dream of Nebuchadnezzar, who had to stay as an insane in the field for ‘7 times’ until he came to comprehension through humiliation.
The theme of this article is the worldwide preaching and the preliminary to the inclusion in heaven.
3. The two witnesses
The two witnesses prophecy;
Living in a world that does not give glory to the Creator
Introduction:
In the previous newsletter, attention is payed how the net is closing around the false prophet, the son of perdition. According to Scripture, the creation by God was very well, perfect. (Gen. 1:31)
The son of perdition however will exalt himself above God by implementing so called “improvements” to the creation, irreversible improvements, such as the genetic modification. (2 Thess. 2: 3, 4)
What about “giving glory” to the Creator by the present world?
The world does not give glory and honor and power to the Creator, who created all things. (Rev.4: 9-11)
ESV (Rev. 4: 10, 11) 10 … the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
