The Fourth Kingdom of Heaven
Christian theology (both Catholic and Protestant) always understood the reality of the first three
"Kingdoms of Heaven", and history (reality) confirms this to be the truth. But Christian eschatology
never understood that, when the Great Commission was finished – and all the Last Saints were "sealed",
the (3rd) Christian “Kingdom of Heaven” would END. God would then withdraw His Holy Spirit from the
Christian Kingdom – and the FOURTH “Kingdom of Heaven” would begin, as Satan is "loosened" from the
Bottomless Pit and given “dominion” (rule) over the “wise and foolish virgins” during Satan’s "Little Season".
Mat 25:1-2
THEN shall the [Great Tribulation] Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto [look like] TEN VIRGINS,
which took their lamps [their Gospels], and WENT FORTH [from the 3rd Kingdom, into the 4th Kingdom]
to meet the bridegroom [Jesus]. And five of them were wise [saved wheat], and five were foolish [unsaved tares].
The "THEN" in Matthew 25:1 is NOT the start of the (2nd) Jewish Kingdom – or (3rd) Christian Kingdom
(at Pentecost). Instead, it's the start of Daniel's Fourth (Great Tribulation) "Kingdom of Heaven".
It's the start of Satan’s “Little Season”. It’s the rising of the 7-Headed Revelation Beast.
It begins the reign of the Anti-Christ for 3.5 “times/days/years/watches of the night”.
Dan 7:23
Thus he said, The Fourth Beast shall be the Fourth Kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse [different] from all [the other three] Kingdoms, and shall devour
the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
The “THEN” in Matthew 25:1 is when all of the Last Saints “went forth” with the Beast.
Before we can understand when, in history, the “THEN” occurs… we must first be able to discern
where the Last Saints “went forth” from (3rd Kingdom), and where they “went forth” into (4th Kingdom).
We must be able to discern the context of the passage, as it relates to Daniel’s Fourth “Kingdom of Heaven”.
Only the Last Saints are able understand the context of there being four “Kingdoms/Beasts” upon the earth.
The churches thought “Time-of-the-End” passages applied to their (3rd) Christian Kingdom, just as Temples
thought “Time-of-the-End” passages applied to their (2nd) Jewish Kingdom. However, the Bible promised
the truth about the “Time-of-the-End” would remain “closed-up” and “sealed” to all the Saints – until
the Last Saints “shall understand”. All “Time-of-the-End” passages are related to Daniel’s Fourth
“Kingdom of Heaven” on earth, not the Third Beast.
Most New Testament “experts” claim the events in Matthew 25:1-13 are experiences of the New Testament church.
In other words, they think “THEN” is Pentecost when the early Saints “went forth” preaching the Great Commission.
But that’s not possible within the context of the passage. First, Matthew chapters 24 and 25 are revealing events within
the Great Tribulation, so the context of “THEN” would be that (4th) Great Tribulation “Kingdom of Heaven” [Mat 25:1],
instead of Pentecost in 33AD. But there’s much more – the events of the parable/prophecy never happened in history!
And no Christian church is teaching these critically important events happen in the future of the Christian Kingdom.
Mat 25:8-10
And the [unsaved] foolish [virgins] said unto the [saved] wise [virgins], Give us of your oil; for our lamps
are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather
to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the Bridegroom [Jesus] came; and they that
were ready [the Wise Virgins] went in with Him [with Jesus] to the Marriage: and the Door was Shut.
There is no time in history (since Pentecost) when the Saints REJECTED people looking for salvation, sending them
to some other (unnamed) group for their salvation. That just never happened in history (reality) during the period of the
Great Commission. And no “Christian” Gospel now teaches these events happen in the future. However, these events
happen exactly that way during the Great Tribulation… as the “wheat” and “tares” are separated in the “final harvest”.
Only after we understand the context of Daniel’s Fourth “Kingdom” can we know when “THEN” occurs in time.
In fact, the parable/prophecy of the Ten Virgins, during the Great Tribulation “Kingdom of Heaven” [Mat 25:1],
is actually a brief outline of events occurring during the Fourth Kingdom on earth. The Ten Virgins represent
the “wheat and tares” in the church that God “harvests” into the Fourth Kingdom. Some are saved “wheat” and
others are unsaved “tares”. The Christian church has always consisted of both saved “wheat” and unsaved “tares”.
Context #1: Perspectives on the Fourth “Kingdom of Heaven”
In the Bible, the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" is shown as (1) Daniel's Fourth Beast and (2) the 7-Headed Revelations Beast.
It's shown as (3) the Great Tribulation Kingdom. It's shown as (4) the Reign of the Anti-Christ during (5) Satan's "Little Season".
That means we can harmonize passages about Daniel's Fourth Beast with passages about the Revelation Beast and passages
on the Great Tribulation. We can see EVENTS occurring in Daniel's Fourth Beast shown as events occurring during the Great Tribulation
and Revelation Beast. This is fortunate as it provides us with several different perspectives, and much better understanding about
the same Biblical events.
In other words, the people living during Daniel's Fourth Beast - are the same people alive during the 7-Headed Revelations Beast,
and the same people living through the Great Tribulation Kingdom, and the same people alive during the Reign of the Anti-Christ.
The people living in Daniel's Fourth Kingdom are the same people who are "overcome" and "killed" during Satan's "Little Season".
In Daniel 7… these people are called "ten kings" and "ten horns" that agree to give their “Kingdom" to the "Little Horn".
In Rev. 17… these people are called "ten kings" and "ten horns" that agree to give their "Kingdom" to the Revelation "Beast".
In Mat. 25 … these same people are called the "ten virgins" that "went forth" into the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven".
In Daniel 2… the same people are called the "ten toes" and the "ten kings" (v44) alive at the START of the Eternal "Kingdom".
We can know, absolutely, that these are the same people because, in each case, they are the people living on earth
when the Lord Jesus Christ Returns to destroy Satan – and also establish His (5th) Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven".
In each case they are the same people who are part of the historical fulfillment of Great Tribulation prophecies.
Moreover, Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" is also shown from five different perspectives, demonstrating different aspects
of the (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom. It's not possible to find more than partial-truths about the Fourth Kingdom unless/until
we harmonize all relevant Scriptures – which includes over twenty-four passages showing the Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" as:
(1) The Last Kingdom - consisting of Ten "Horns/Kings/Virgins" who God leads to "agree to give their Kingdom to the Beast".
(2) The Dual Kingdoms - consisting of two "Trumpets", two "Woes", two "Heads/Kings", and two separate and distinct "Beasts".
(3) The Four Watches of the Night - in which the Anti-Christ "overcomes" the Saints for a period called 3.5 "times/days/years".
(4) The Completed Kingdom - having Seven "Heads/Kings", representing all of the "wheat" and "tares" living in each Kingdom.
(5) The Destroyed Kingdom - during the "Time-of-the-End" and "Season and Time" on earth AFTER Daniel's Fourth Kingdom.
Even if we harmonized the passages presenting Daniel's Fourth Beast as being (#1) the Last Kingdom before the Eternal Kingdom,
we still could not find more than partial-truth unless we also harmonize all the passages presenting this Last Kingdom as being
(#2) Dual Kingdoms. And, if we harmonize all those Scriptures, at best we would only have partial-truth until we also harmonize
all passages presenting Daniel's Fourth Kingdom as being (#3) four separate and distinct "Watches of the Night". And even then,
after harmonizing these three different perspectives of Daniel's Fourth Kingdom, we still would only have some partial-truths...
until we also harmonize the passages showing the Great Tribulation Beast as being (#4) the Completed Kingdom of Seven "Heads",
and then as (#5) the Destroyed Kingdom during the "Season and Time" on earth AFTER the Great Tribulation has been completed.
More than that, each one of those five perspectives are supported by MANY PASSAGES of Scripture showing more information
about that particular Biblical Truth. For example: Not only does the Bible show Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven" from the
perspective of (#1) The Last Kingdom before the Lord's Return - consisting of "Ten Virgins" and "Ten Kings" and "Ten Horns",
these same people are shown in other passages (by many different names) and each passage must be harmonized to have Truth.
Below is a (partial) list of Biblical names given – to represent the people living during Daniel's Fourth "Kingdom of Heaven".
The "Kingdom" which the Anti-Christ "obtains with flatteries" [Dan 11]
The "Mighty and Holy People" who are "destroyed" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
The "Sanctuary and Host" that are "trodden under foot" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
The "Holy City" which the Anti-Christ "treads under foot" for 42 months/3.5 years [Rev 11]
The "Kings" that are "given into his hand" (the Anti-Christ's hand) for 3.5 "times" [Dan 7]
The "Holy People" whose "power is scattered" by the Anti-Christ for 3.5 "times" [Dan 12]
The "Woman" which is hidden from the face of the "serpent" for 3.5 "times" [Rev 12]
The "Witnesses" which are "overcome" and "killed" by Satan for 3.5 "days" [Rev 11]
The "Kingdom" which is "overflown" and "broken" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 11]
The "Host and the Stars" that are "cast down" by the Anti-Christ [Dan 8]
While the people alive during Daniel's Fourth Kingdom are shown [Mat 25] as the "Ten Virgins" that "went forth"
into the 4th Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"... and they are shown [Dan 7] as the "Ten Kings" and "Ten Horns"
that were "given into the hand" of the Anti-Christ... and they are shown [Rev 17] as the "Ten Kings" and the "Ten Horns"
that "agreed to give their Kingdom to the Beast", the Bible contains (literally) DOZENS of other passages that talk about
these same people, and every one of the passages must be harmonized before we can pretend to have more than partial-truth.
We have clearly shown the History of Man is the reflection of God’s Salvation Plan over four separate “Kingdoms”.
And we have seen the Gospel of EACH of those four separate and distinct “Beasts” is unique to that “Kingdom”.
The Bible provides a lot of information about the Gospel of the Old Testament Jewish Saints. And the Bible
provides a lot of information about the Gospel of the New Testament Christian Saints. However, the Bible
also includes important information that’s revealed in the unique Gospel of the Last Saints on earth.
Rev 10:7, 11
But in the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound,
the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
