Introduction
Many books have been written and movies made about Bible prophecy. While many of them are popular, they are also filled with falseness. The truth about Bible prophecy remains hidden to these writers and moviemakers because they have not discovered the keys to understanding prophecy that this book reveals. This is more than a book that warns the world of what is about to happen. It is also a book that offers a sure hope for the future. While the winter solstice of 2012 will indeed begin the time of the greatest spiritual darkness the world has ever known, it’s not the end. It’s not the end of the world; it’s not even the end of this age. December 21, 2012 is the beginning of the end—the end of man’s feeble attempt to govern himself under Satan’s sway. “It’s always darkest before the dawn” is not a quote from the Bible. God’s Book does say, however, that trials may last for night, but joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30:5). Satan’s last-ditch attempt to shroud the earth in darkness means that light is just around the corner. Jesus’ return is imminent. Because He is motivated only by love (1 John 4:8), Jesus is about to come back to clean up the mess we have made of things on this planet. The light of His truth is on the horizon. That truth will dispel the multiple errors of man’s religion, including the overwhelming falseness of tradition that permeates even the Christian church, including its unusual ideas about prophecy. Mind you, some of the hullabaloo about December 21, 2012 is true. The winter solstice of 2012 is indeed an open door to hell—and to spiritual darkness like we’ve never seen before. The good news is this: you don’t have to be affected by that darkness. And you can receive now the light of truth Jesus will soon bring to the whole world. Such discovery of the truth requires more than a cursory reading of the Scriptures. It requires obedience to certain laws of love God gave us in His Word, an obedience that opens the understanding of the Bible and its prophecies. Jesus Himself said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). God may have already called you, or He may be calling you (John 6:44), to be a part of the family that bears the name of our Father God, which is Love (1 John 4:8). Because God is Love, He gave mankind free will. He won’t have to force us to choose His way of love and giving. He knows all things, so He knew Adam would mess up and give Satan the right to rule the world for six days of a thousand years until Jesus returns. At that time, He said He’d come back to rule on His seventh millennial day—or Sabbath—over the earth with His saints (Rev. 5:10). I pray this book will stir believers to prepare and thus speed up Jesus’ glorious coming. This world needs Him. This is not a manual about how to survive physically in times of catastrophe. Deliverance in the times commencing late 2012 will require supernatural help, the kind promised to those who know they are in the protective arms of Father Love. In His arms, “A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach you… No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent” (Ps. 91:7,10). Even if God doesn’t call you in this age, and you do die in the coming times of trouble and war, you’re not going to a fiery hell like the misguided preachers tell you. What most evangelists and prophecy teachers don’t know, even though almost seven hundred Bible verses prove it, is that you will be raised to have your first real opportunity to know Jesus in a perfect world. You probably never heard that before! Yes, you will be raised to live out a full life after Jesus’ millennial rule on the earth, to accept Him and be part of the Family of Love when Satan will be long gone! I expound on this truth in Appendix I. You may be a hardened unbeliever as you read these words. This book will serve as a warning that the sins of our nations, in which you have willingly participated, have direct consequences, and this cause and effect will begin to be felt in late 2012. The nation that has heretofore led the world in economic and political power chose to legalize the shedding of innocent infant blood (an abomination in God’s sight, according to Prov. 6:17) forty years before December 21, 2012. For what people consider a harmless abortion to protect women’s rights, God uses the term “bloodguiltiness” (Deut. 21:8). Such blood defiles the land, and a defiled land has forfeited the right to God’s protection. God has called us to lift up our voices in an unpopular warning to expose the sins of our people (Isa. 58:1). Our calling or anointing as a church is Isaiah 58 and 59:1–3. We want to be faithful so that the blood is not on our heads (Ezek. 33:4). Part of my mission is to restore truth that sets people free (John 8:32), including the truth that has enabled me to write this book, unique among books on prophecy. I have received these revelations because I have been blessed to understand and obey, by God’s mercy and empowering grace, the secret revealed in my book Bible Code Broken: The Truth about the Christian Sabbath (Isa. 58:13–14). Adhering to God’s laws of love and demonstrating a hunger to understand the Word of God and the conceptual nature of the original Bible languages has led the leadership of Freedom Church of God—notably my colleague, apostolic leader Gerald Budzinski—to have an uncommon grasp of end-time prophetic events. Scholars who specialize in true ancient Hebrew are amazed at the knowledge revealed by church leadership, especially the Hebrew in the much-misunderstood book of Job. What you won’t read in any other book I know of is that Job is the foundational book of Bible prophecy, laying the groundwork for all the other prophetic verses and books. Job was a major prophet, as was Isaiah, which is also a key book of prophecy. Jesus (the member of the Godhead that dealt with men in the Hebrew Scriptures, as many verses show) called Job a righteous man three times in the beginning of the book. The words and prayers of a righteous man or woman are some of the most powerful forces in the earth. They make things happen. They change the course of events. If you are—or become—a believer, you have the same power. In fact, the timing and accomplishment of end-time events prophesied in the Bible depends on you. Talk about an interactive book! Yes, Jesus said that if it weren’t for us believers, the elect, and our prayers, the events beginning in 2012 would cause all life to be erased from our planet (Mat. 24:22; Mal. 4:6). God gave man a body appropriate for living on earth and a voice to speak out and prophesy just as God Himself does (Gen. 1:26–27; John 1:1–18). But God gave the power of the tongue over the earth to man. When man speaks, we allow God to act on the earth. Angels perform God’s Word when man speaks it (Ps. 103:20). The words of righteous Job changed the course of history. They prophesied the time of unprecedented spiritual darkness that will begin to envelop the world as early as December 21, 2012. Some of Job’s words allowed Satan to bring darkness, even literal darkness, throughout history and in these last days. But His words also allowed Jesus to come into this world to die for it, and then to return in His glory to rescue mankind from the gathering darkness and bring His marvelous light to this world. Job’s words empowered Satan to bring unprecedented trials upon believers in the end time, allowing all hell to break loose in late 2012 to test the Christians living in the last days.
