This is a whole new interpretation of Bible prophecy that is prewrath, yet posttrib. It shows the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have already ridden out during the past 2,000 years of wars, famine, and persecution. The author does not merely make that assumption, he analyzes the text to show what the four horsemen are.   We are now in the period of the global birth pains of the earth, and the Trumpet judgments are next.    This book proves there will never be a world government ruled by a dictator, but there will be WW3. The author discovered missiles and rockets described in detail, even the warhead, which is called a "head that kills" with fire, smoke, and sulfur.    And contrary to popular teaching, America is in fact found in Bible prophecy, and is a major player, as you would expect. Even the Statue of Liberty is described as a woman lifted up between heaven and earth and put on a pedestal, with a covering made of soft metal. Yes, it is really in the Bible!   The visions of Daniel also have a new interpretation. The passage in Daniel 9:27 that is supposed to refer to a 7-year peace treaty is being grossly misinterpreted. The original Protestant view of that verse is the correct view.   Daniel's vision of the four beasts and the statue with ten toes both show that there will never be a world government. Those passages are not being correctly interpreted. The Bible text never says that the ten toes will rule the world, but only the fourth beast from which the horns come. Likewise, it never says the ten toes will rule the world, but actually says they will break apart.   The book also proves that the Jews must convert before Christ will return. Yes, it is plainly stated in the Bible several times! Which makes one wonder how the opposite view could become a popular doctrine.    Though this book was not written against the pretribulation Rapture, the correct interpretation of Bible prophecy does prove the pretribulation Rapture theory is false, which is seen repeatedly throughout the book. The author even found the smoking gun that kills the pretrib Rapture theory!   He even presents a new interpretation of the two witnesses, showing that Revelation points us to the Old Testament, and that the symbolic meaning of the two witnesses is Christianity, which is why they cannot be killed until they have finished their testimony, which represents the end of the Gospel Age. They will be killed in a global terrorist attack organized by the beast and false prophet.    But this is just book 1 of 2, covering Revelation 4-12. The beast and false prophet are covered in detail in the next book (Rev. 13-22), including the global Wrath of God.      Michael D. Fortner analyzes the text of many Bible passages by examining the Hebrew or Greek, and consulting commentaries such as Barnes Notes on the Bible. He takes the view that the symbols of the Bible have a literal meaning that God wants us to understand, and sites the passage in Revelation 1 where Jesus tells John the meaning of the seven candlesticks.     The author is a journalist and historian, with a God-give ability to figure things out and to think outside the box.         Table of Contents   Introduction   Chapter 1: Keys to Understanding Bible Prophecy   Chapter 2: Five Seals of History   Chapter 3: The Sixth Seal: Signs of The End and Birth Pains   Chapter 4: The Chosen   Chapter 5: Daniel's 70 Weeks   Chapter 6: The Great Tribulation   Chapter 7: The Statue of Liberty   Chapter 8: World War III Begins   Chapter 9: Daniel's Ten Toes   Chapter 10: Daniel's Four Beasts   Chapter 11: The End Arrives   Chapter 12: 2 Thessalonians   Chapter 13: The Abomination of Desolation   Chapter 14: Matthew 24   Chapter 15: A Brief History of Christianity     Chapter 16: Final Thoughts     Scripture Index     Selected Bibliography   

Discoveries in Bible Prophecy (Bible Prophecy Revealed)

Trumpet Press

God destroyed the world once with a Flood, and the Bible says the next destruction will be with fire at the return of Christ. God is going to send fire from heaven from several different sources; from asteroid impacts, coronal mass ejections, and from a small 2nd sun that will come close enough to Earth to burn us with its flames! Yes, there are in fact many prophecies that reveal this information, going all the way back to the Erythraean Sibyl. These prophecies tell us what the "signs in the sun, moon, and stars" will be before the global destruction hits us. Today we look at a conjunction of planets or blood moons as signs, but they are not signs of the end of the world, because those things have happened many times before and will happen again. No, the signs that Jesus told us about are astonishing, and shocking. Like the prophet Joel said, there will be "wonders" in the sky. This book also presents powerful evidence that a nuclear war will cause the world to be covered with dark clouds, threatening to plunge the world into a nuclear winter. This is the cause of the darkness and clouds at the return of Christ, and the Three Days of Darkness, prophesied mostly, but not only, by Catholics. The three days are the first three days of what will be nuclear winter, except Christ returns with fire that will burn up the black clouds and saves the world. But that fire will itself kill many people. It will be the Day of Judgment for sinners, but the Day of Salvation for the righteous who are alive on Earth. Many people will repent too late to make the Rapture, and it is these who will continue the human race in the Kingdom of God on Earth. This book is filled with many prophecies from the Book of Enoch, Sibylline Oracles, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and even Catholic and Protestant prophecies. It was written to warn God's people to prepare in advance, so that they can better survive those terrible days that include the Great Tribulation and the Wrath of God at the end.

The Approaching Apocalypse and Three Days of Darkness: Revised (Bible Prophecy Revealed)

This is an analysis of Babylon the Great, and shows that it is the United States of America. One of the most difficult things I had to do in my study of Bible prophecy was come to the realization that America is Babylon the Great (BTG). I did not want to believe it. I resisted because it means that America will be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust. But after years of study, the evidence forced me to that conclusion. Then I realized, that most nations of the world will suffer great destruction to one degree or another, based on their sins. So America will also suffer for its sinfulness. I also came to understand that BTG is not all of America, it is ONLY wicked America. God will destroy wicked America, but he will save a righteous remnant from those who do not go in the Rapture. During the past 10 years I saw such great decline in America, that I can now see why America will be destroyed, and also why it must be destroyed. But America will NOT be destroyed before the start of the Great Tribulation (GT), which is so often claimed, but will only be wounded at the start, but will be nuked and then invaded at the end of the GT. The nuclear war and invasion of America are the last acts of the beast (a Revised Islamic Empire) and its allies (Russia and China and North Korea), in its attempt to totally destroy Christianity. Then Christ returns to save the world by destroying the evil that is taking over the world. Many people misinterpret Babylon the Great (BTG) harlot, prostitute, in Revelation 17 and 18. She has been interpreted to be, the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church, Jerusalem, Islam, Saudi Arabia, and who knows what else. I will provide a mountain of evidence and explain in detail how America is political Babylon, cultural Babylon, and economic Babylon. If Babylon is also a city, then it is New York City. Like my other books on Bible prophecy, there are lots of new insights in this book that are not found in other books on Babylon the Great and U.S. I also discuss the Old Testament references to an end-time Babylon, which is not a rebuilt city in Iraq, but can only be the same as Mystery Babylon in Revelation. And I will discuss the founding of America, how it was founded with a de facto covenant with God ("de facto" means being in effect though not formally recognized). But America also is chosen of God because it was one of the nations that God promised to Abraham. Yes, God promised Abraham more than one nation! It is likely the main reason that America became the greatest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. This book also includes dreams and visions from ancient times to modern, even George Washington's vision. We will discuss how America will be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust and be invaded, but Christ will return to save humanity and civilization from total destruction. I show how America will be split into three parts by a huge global earthquake (Rev. 16) after it betrays Israel. One split will be along the Mississippi River. Some of the prophecies say that America will have another civil war, which allows it to be nuked and invaded. Are we seeing the start of it now, in 2016, with riots by people who do not believe in democracy? Only God knows. This book also includes a discussion of Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38, which gives us details for two wars, not just one. One will be an invasion of Israel, the other will be an invasion of America. In the appendix I discuss the wrong interpretation of Walid Shoebat, showing that his view of Babylon being Saudi Arabia is grossly wrong. This is Book 3 of the Bible Prophecy Revealed series of books on Bible prophecy, which is a complete teaching on Bible prophecy. If you liked the other two books, you will like this one. If you did not like the other two, you will not like this one.

A shocking expose' of the Word of Faith (WOF) movement, Toronto Blessing revivals, and the Prophetic Movement, like none written before. The false prophets Jesus warned us about are here! Gold dust, gems, feathers, glory clouds, out of body trips, and strange manifestations are some of the signs and wonders that are "strong delusion." 
Fortner says, "The cross of Christ is no longer dripping with the blood of our Savior, but is covered with gold dust, and dripping money. There is oil seeping from a prosperity preacher who bottles it and sells it. There are false spirits that cause barking like a dog, levitation, weird laughter, and out of body experiences. Such is the state of many Charismatic churches today."
He shows how the gold dust and other signs and wonders mostly happen to ministers and churches connected to the above mention churches, especially those teaching the prosperity gospel. So this means the signs and wonders are "strong delusion" which causes people to believe the lie of the prosperity gospel. He says that these are the ministers that Jesus spoke about when he said many false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders in the last days.
He quotes a former Christian who became a witch who went to Bill Johnson's Bethel church. She was prophesied over by four different people and they all said similar things, which amounted to God saying he is pleased with what she is doing and he will bless her work (in the coven), and to keep doing it!
He says this proves that Bill Johnson and those in his church are operating by divination and evil spirits, not the Holy Spirit. And many of those churches have a mixture of the Holy Spirit and evil spirits.
He also has testimonies of people who have received demon spirits after being prayed for in one of the above-mentioned churches, especially of those connected to Todd Bentley and others in the Prophetic Movement, or just listened to their CDs.
What is most shocking is the evidence he presents that show the top WOF preachers on TV are knowingly in league with Satan, because they acknowledge Satan during their preaching and teaching. He gives the evidence in print, but it is more powerful to see it on video, which he provides free online. You can see a big name WOF preacher saying, "I'm with Satan," and another one saying, "Tie my money, Satan."
Unlike other books that have been written on this subject, Fortner grew up in an old-fashioned Pentecostal church where he was warned about the doctrines of the WOF Charismatics. The other books accurately show how horribly wrong these movements are, but those books are being ignored because they were written by people who attack all Pentecostals and Charismatics, not just these movements.

Discoveries in Bible Prophecy: 2020 (Bible Prophecy Revealed)

(Version 1.4, 2023) I originally read the KJV, then as a teenager I loved the NIV, but I was troubled by footnotes that said some verses are not found in the "oldest and best" manuscripts. But I believed that the "experts" knew what they were doing. Several decades later, as a researcher, journalist, and historian, I learned that most modern Bibles were translated from a Greek master-text different from the Greek text used for the KJV. The KJOnly (KJO) group accuses modern Bibles of being corrupt because they remove many words and phrases and even whole verses, removing enough text to equal 1st and 2nd Peter, and make many other changes. So I investigated the issue. The question I set out to answer was, are the claims of the KJO group accurate, or are the modern Bibles more accurate than the KJV? I have never been a KJV advocate, and actually prefer the wording of modern Bibles, especially the NIV, and have used it as the primary text in several of my other books. But it is plagued by the same issues as most other modern Bibles; many words, phrases, and whole verses removed and even more changed. For those of you who are just learning about this subject, I will present a concise history of how we got the KJV and our modern Bibles, what textual criticism is and how the textual critics often engage in faulty reasoning.Westcott and Hort, the creators of the corrupted Greek New Testament text, were both liberal Anglican bishops who despised evangelicals and their literal view of Scripture. I have many quotes from them proving their unbelief. Hort, especially, was an unbeliever who said there was more truth in Greek philosophy than in "revelation," meaning the Bible. Though they were officially Anglican bishops, they were actually secret Unitarians because only members of the Church of England could be college professors or hold a government job. So they kept their liberal unbelief a secret, but it was revealed after their deaths by the publication of their private letters. 
Their purpose was to produce a liberal Bible that Unitarians, then and today, love. The advocates for the modern Bible versions want us to believe that all the modern Bibles are the authentic Words of God, even though they are all different. The modern translations pretty much include or leave out what they want, since that was how the Greek master-text was created. One Bible includes a particular verse, another Bible leaves it out, one says one thing another says something else. It causes people to doubt the reliability and veracity of the Bible, and to doubt the truth of Christianity. Apparently, God cannot make up his mind what he wants to say, so he says whatever these "experts" want him to say, and it changes with each new edition of the Greek master-text, and each new translation that comes out.Some people have actually lost their Christian faith because of it (examples are given). Even though supporters of the corrupted Bibles dominate the field, a few scholars with multiple degrees have written against the WH text for 150 years, but their words have been ignored by the Christian seminaries and Bible publishers. Therefore, I am compelled to write yet another book on the subject, because it is of eternal importance. I never expected my investigation to turn into a book, because there are already several books supporting both sides. However, my skill-set is thinking outside the box and figuring things out, as seen in my other books. As such, I have some new insights and surprising discoveries to offer. The reader will learn that the TR is not as corrupt as we have been told and that modern Bibles are far more corrupt than you would have ever imagined.

Editing God: Textual Criticism and Modern Bibles Analyzed

Literature & Fiction

History & Criticism

Do you believe that God can reveal to his people the identity of the future Antichrist before he reveals himself? Many people claim that God has given them a dream or spoken to them directly that Barack Obama is the Antichrist.The purpose of this book is to present to you the evidence that points to Barack Obama being the Antichrist of the Bible. Most of the evidence is made of many small pieces that, by themselves, cannot convict anyone of being the Antichrist; since he has not yet made himself known. However, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle when put together forms a picture, those pieces give us a picture of the final Antichrist.God gives us signs as a way of speaking to us, and he has given us much evidence that Obama is the Antichrist, from 666 appearing, to people who had dreams and visions that Obama is the Antichrist.While Obama was president, he did many things that caused people to believe that he could be the Antichrist. So many people were saying that Obama is the Antichrist that it became a published news story in mainstream newspapers and news networks, even the L.A. Times and Newsweek.This book gives all the evidence, starting with a brief biography of Obama showing what he has done, revealing his connections to radical Islam, and even his relationship to Satan himself! And he has continued to act against America after leaving office. Finally, he is expected to become the ruler of a future coalition of Islamic nations. Two chapters of dreams and prophecies are included. If only two or three people said God revealed to them that Obama is the Antichrist, it would not be important, but it has happened to dozens, perhaps hundreds or thousands of people. They usually ask God, "Who is the Antichrist?" and he gives them a dream or tells them that it is Obama, often to their surprise. Do you really believe that the Antichrist will come without God warning us so we can prepare? No, God will warn us!
