Our Lord is good for everything in prophecy is described and explained some where in the bible, do to the books sealed we all have not been able to fine the answers we all sought to help us understand. Daniel 12:4 saying books are sealed until the TIME OF THE END, none of us could see it clearly. Now that it is clear we are in the End, God opened up another place in the bible for all of us to read and gain understanding. We only have to be willing to accept that which God writes instead of the teachings of the God fearing men of old, who wrote many books on the prophecy of the End. Check this out. Isaiah 33:18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror: Where is the chief officer? Where is the one who took the revenue? Where is the officer in charge of the towers? You will see these arrogant people no more, those people with an obscure speech, with their strange incomprehensible tongue. We know these verses are speaking of the time Christ has come back to earth. Here is how we know this, by these verses in chapter 33 of Isaiah, and this chief officer is the 8th king/beast. And the revenue is the taxation that has come upon man during the beast reigning during this time. he is the Son of Perdition. Isa. 33:1 Woe, to you O destroyer, (Son of Perdition, chief officer) you who have NOT been destroyed. Woe to you O traitor. you who have not been betrayed!When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying you will be betrayed.Isaiah 33:2-9 describes the time setting of this event, the highways are deserted, no travelers are on the roads, THE COVENANT IS BROKEN, he has despised the cities , he regards no man. the earth mourns and languishes, Isaiah 33:10-11 Now will I rise, (Christ is coming down) says the Lord, NOW WILL I BE EXALTED; now will I lift up myself. You conceived Chaff, you gave birth to straw; your breath is a fire that consumes you, the people will be burned as if to lime. The Lord has come out of His dwelling and this is a clear prophecy of the End time, that has brought the King to earth to consume the sinners of Zion and the sinners of the Earth.as verse 14 says: "The sinners in Zion are terrified, trembling grips the godless; Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with EVERLASTING BURNING? As we read down the chief officer is removed by God as the other books of prophecy tell us that God must come and remove the Son of Perdition out of the temple. This man who has received Satan's powers is a Chief Officer who will be in the Temple of God.He is a described here as a chief officer of an army, Daniel 11:20-33 speak of this time right here in Isaiah 33, but with more detail.Daniel 11:20 His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor. In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or battle. 21.) He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him. 23.) he rises to power 24.) worships a god his fathers did not, because it is Satan's who is his god whose kingdom he has been given Revelation 13:2. for one hour. verse 27.) the two kings (we are told the beast is an 8th king Revelation 17:11) with "THEIR HEARTS BENT ON EVIL" and rightfully so, for they are serving Satan is why the earth will be filled with demons and so wicked the people. They will set at a table and lie to each other, but to no avail, BECAUSE THE END WILL STILL COME AT THE APPOINTED TIME. The King of the NORTH will return to his own country with great wealth. The Ships of the western coastlines will oppose him. He will vent his anger against the HOLY COVENANT.Read this for yourselves and study it. It is all there for each of us. We are told this 8th king and beast as Revelaion 17:11 tells us is also described in Isaiah 33 being called a chief office and describes the end time events also, but from Isaiah. God showed me this jewel and I now share it with each of you willing to accept what God says. He explains the prophecy, after all he wrote it. Vickie
