Early Protestant leaders told us who the Biblical Antichrist is!

James Japan avatarPosted on by 3

Many Christians know a bit of the history of the Protestant Reformation that began with Martin Luther in 1517. But how many know about the Roman Catholic reaction to the Protestant Reformation, also known as the “Counter-Reformation”? How many Christians have even heard of the Counter-Reformation? Not many! And why? It’s because the leadership of the Counter-Reformation have done a bang-up job of undermining Protestant churches and seminaries with false … Continue reading →

Is the Rapture a Rescue from Persecution? The History Behind the Rapture Doctrine

James Japan avatarPosted on by 6

It seems to me the first thing that pops up into a Christian’s mind today when he or she hears the word “rapture,” is a rescue from persecution and tribulation from the Antichrist. I see no such promise in the entire Bible. The scriptures tell me otherwise. 2 Timothy 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Daniel 7:21  I beheld, and the same … Continue reading →

666 – The Anti-Christ to Come?

James Japan avatarPosted on by 16

n 1519 Martin Luther first called the Pope the Antichrist and later wrote to Pope Leo X and with boldness informed him that he, the Pope, was the Antichrist. The Historicist view was held by all the Protestant Reformers – that is, every major preacher of the gospel on the Protestant side of the Reformation. They all believed that the Papacy was the Antichrist.

James Japan avatarPosted on by 3

This article is about a revelation I had some time in the late 1980s about a possible interpretation of 666. I think many people who live in a Western culture know that the number 666 is some reference to the Devil. The last book of the New Testament of the Bible, the book of Revelation chapter 13 says it is the number of the Beast. This is the very last … Continue reading →

Did not Rome Christian became a harlot? Did not Papal Rome ally herself with the kings of the earth? Did it not glorify itself to be as a queen, and call itself the Mistress of the World?

Implied References in the Book of Revelation To Old Testament Scripture

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

I once read that the Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation using implied references to the Old Testament so that the meaning would be hidden from Roman officials and only the Jews familiar with the Scripture would understand it. This was in order to avoid futher persecution. The chart below is based on a study from Blue Letter Bible which a friend introduced to me. Verse in Revelation Implied … Continue reading →

The Book of Daniel interprets the Book of Revelation

James Japan avatarPosted on by 11

Many people find the last Book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation hard to understand. I heard one lady even call it the Book of Concealment! Is there a key to understand the Endtime prophecies of the Book of Revelation? I believe that key is the Book of Daniel! The Prophet Daniel was described as: “…an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard … Continue reading →

James Japan avatarPosted on by 6

Did you know that the Bible refers to the 10 horns of the books of Daniel and Revelation exactly 9 times? That’s 3 times in the book of Daniel and 6 times in the book of Revelation. Daniel 7:7  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, … Continue reading →

Dispensationalism and Its Influence on Eschatology

James Japan avatarPosted on by  

My new friends from 2014 have often used the theological term “dispensationalism” in their conversations with me but until recently the meaning of this word has been nebulous in my mind. I think it most Christians today don’t know what it means either even though they believe the doctrines that sprang from it. Below is text edited from http://regal-network.com/dispensationalism/ Dispensationalism is a method of Bible interpretation which was first devised … Continue reading →

On March 15th I hitchhiked to the Tokyo area from my home in Niigata City in 4 cars. When sitting in the back seat of one of the cars, the front seat passenger was having a long conversation with the driver. This meant I didn’t have to engage in conversation with them and gave me an opportunity to redeem the time and type a message on my Tablet PC. I … Continue reading →
