Revised for 2018.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. 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 horns 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.This is Book One in a series of 4. Book 2 and 3 are currently in print, BK 4 will be published in early 2016, Feb. or March.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 as proof that the symbols of Revelation have literal meaning.* Proof that the beast comes to power with the 5th Trumpet* The smoking gun that Kills the pretribulation Rapture* The United States FOUND clearly several times* Evidence the Great Tribulation could begin soon* A new interpretation of Daniel's 4 beasts* A new interpretation of Daniel's ten toes* New discoveries about Daniel's 70th week* Evidence that the Bride of Christ is not the entire Church* Proof positive that the beast will NOT rule the entire planet* Missiles and rockets described in detail, even the warheadAnd Much more.(Previous editions of this book had a mistake in chapter 3, a few pages appeared in the wrong order in the PRINT edition. So if you read the print edition, please download the ebook free, as all of chapter 3 is correct.)

(Version 3, Nov. 2019, with important updates and improvements) Michael D. Fortner takes a fresh new look at Bible prophecy and presents strong evidence that the coming beast and false prophet of the book of Revelation are based solidly in Islam and Muhammad. When the head of the beast has a fatal wound, it represents the death of the Ottoman Empire in World War 1. Which means it will come back to life again to wage jihad upon the world.The second beast of Revelation is Islam, the two horns representing the two factions: Sunni and Shite. Islam has encoded in its teachings— murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine.Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4:171; 18:4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22).Islam ruled the second largest empire in history that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of China. Millions of Christians have already suffered and died under Islam’s armies of conquest, and Christians are still dying today in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Sudan, and many other places.The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. This book includes a history of Islam's war on Christianity. No one could invent a more evil cult.For hundreds of years the Muslims of North Africa captured European ships, and then American ships, and enslaved the passengers and crews. They even raided coastal towns and dragged people out of churches and into slavery where they were beaten and abused in order to pressure them to convert to Islam.This new book presents the history of Islam's war against Christianity to show how and why it is the beast of Revelation. It also includes Daniel 11. The details presented is like no other book.For example: The verses of the Quran are called, “miraculous signs,” and Rev. 13 says that the false prophet deceives people with “miraculous signs” (NIV). Fortner’s interpretation of Revelation is truly eye-opening. The mark of the beast is also presented with new and enlightening information. Even the image of the beast has a surprising new interpretation.But the beast's empire will not rule the entire planet. The author proved that there will never be a one-world government, many times over, in Book One. This is Book Two in the Bible Prophecy Revealed series. You will get the most out of this book if you have read the first one, titled Discoveries in Bible Prophecy, but it is not required.There are other books out that correlate what Islam teaches with the expected Antichrist, but they do not have the details found in this book. The author actually proves that some of the details in the other books are wrong. For example, he proves that the new theory on the mark of the beast taught by Walid Shoebat and Joel Richardson is totally wrong.IntroductionChapter 1 The Beast of EmpireChapter 2 The Quran and HadithChapter 3 A Brief History of IslamChapter 4 The Ottoman EmpireChapter 5 The Scarlet BeastChapter 6 Civilization JihadChapter 7 The False ProphetChapter 8 The Mark, Name, &amp; Number of the BeastChapter 9 The AntichristChapter 10 Historical ViewsChapter 11 Final WordsSelected Bibliography

The Beast and False Prophet Revealed

Trumpet Press

NEW VERSION for 2020. 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 and the Christians in America. 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 is a lot of new insights in this book that are not found in any other book on Babylon the Great and America. 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 also 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? There is also 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 extremely 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.

The FALL of BABYLON the Great AMERICA: Revised and Expanded (Bible Prophecy Revealed)

(Edition 3.1 Jan. 2019) 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. A massive asteroid impact will complete the job and bring the much prophesied Three Days of Darkness. This is the darkness and clouds at the return of Christ. 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 left 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

A shocking expose' of the Word of Faith (WOF) movement, Toronto Blessing revivals, and the Prophetic Movement, like none written before. This book shows how the signs and wonders, like gold dust, levitation, and out of body trips, mostly happen to ministers and churches connected to the above mentioned movements, especially those teaching the prosperity gospel. So this means the signs and wonders are "strong delusion" that causes people to believe the lie of the prosperity gospel, and WOF doctrines. 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.The author quotes a former Christian who became a witch who went to a well-known 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 Fortner says this proves that the pastor and those in his church are operating by divination and evil spirits, not the Holy Spirit. And that 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 that shows the top WOF preachers on TV are knowingly following 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, after taking an offering, says, "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.Fortner still considers himself a Full Gospel, Spirit-filled Christian.

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.Fortner still considers himself a Full Gospel, Spirit-filled Christian.

(This book has been replaced by Satan's False Prophets Exposed)"Michael Fortner makes an invaluable contribution by showing that such commonly heard claims as that believing in Jesus will make you rich are totally mistaken." (Robert S. McElvaine, author of Grand Theft Jesus: The Hijacking of Religion in America) Unlike other writers on this subject, the author once believed the Prosperity Gospel, but after twenty years of financial struggle and frequent unemployment God called him to research the Prosperity Gospel. What he found proves the Prosperity Gospel is totally false, and a horrible sin, and calls for a Reformation of the Charismatic Movement. Other books on this subject take a theological point of view, but the prosperity teachers failure is in not properly interpreting the Scriptures; so he analyzes every verse they use to teach the Prosperity Gospel, and gives the correct interpretation. As a result of properly interpreting the Scriptures, this book totally destroys the Prosperity Gospel. Fortner says all Christians have been deceived by wealth, not just Charismatics, the result is spiritual lukewarmness. The Scriptures show that Biblical prosperity is having all your needs met, or not being in want, but the American definition is having lots of stuff. He also says that many pastors, especially the mega-church pastors, earn too much money, while Jesus taught that his future ministers should live without high incomes or material wealth. This book says most preachers on Christian TV today, the Bible refers to as almost true yet false prophets because they are leading people away from the truth. But he is not against all Pentecostal / Charismatic doctrines, but takes a balanced approach because he grew up attending an old fashioned Pentecostal church. He believes Christianity in America today is the church of Laodicea, and so God has already started to refine us as gold; which means suffering the fire of judgment. He details the economic and natural disasters that have come upon America in the last few years and calls it is the judgment of God upon us, and calls for Christians to repent of materialism and the Prosperity Gospel. He says that the judgment will likely get worse until we repent, resulting in another Great Awakening in America. Michael D. Fortner was called into the ministry at age 20, but because he is not an eloquent speaker he chose to spend his adult life doing in-depth study of the Scriptures. He has a B.A. in journalism with a minor in history, and is a skilled researcher, with God-given ability to figure things out. This book gets under the skin of people who believe in the prosperity gospel and it makes them really angry because it proves them wrong. Introduction ... Chapter 1 - Deceived by Wealth ...

The Almost True Yet False Prophet

(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.
