GLOSSARY
Key terms in Bible prophecy
Short, text-grounded definitions for the terms that come up again and again in this research.
- 666, the Number of the Beast
Also: number of the beast, six hundred and sixty-six, calculate the number of the beast, Revelation 13:18
The number of the wild beast in Revelation 13:18. It is called a man's number, which means it can be calculated and seen. The digits themselves are not evil; the number is a symbol that identifies the eighth king and his mark.
- Babylon the Great
Also: mother of the harlots, the great harlot, Revelation 17, get out of her my people, mystery Babylon
Not a church, a government or a single organization, but the lens through which humanity has been taught to interpret reality since Eden: what death is, where authority sits, and where security comes from. Religion is her most visible vehicle, and she preserves Satan's first lie.
- Edom (Spiritual Edom)
Also: Esau, spiritual Edom, Obadiah, Edom in prophecy, synagogue of Satan, who is Edom today
After Christ, Edom is not a nation or a race but a spiritual condition: covenant proximity, a deliberately rejected inheritance, and hostility toward those who received it, while still claiming the covenant name. It is the root condition beneath Babylon the Great and the man of lawlessness.
- Free Will and God's Foreknowledge
Also: does God know the future, predestination, omniscience, destiny, foreordination, does God know everything
Jehovah has the ability to foresee all things and governs its use, filtering out the free choices of his creatures so that free will remains real. He foresees events on the timeline without predetermining who will make them, which is why prophecy is given in symbols.
- Hell (Eternal Torment)
Also: hellfire, eternal torment, lake of fire, Gehenna, Sheol, Hades, is hell real, what happens when you die
The teaching that the wicked are conscious and tormented forever after death. It contradicts the creation account, the seventh day of rest, the Bible's description of death, and God's own sentence in Eden, which was death, not torment. The dead know nothing at all.
- Jehovah, God's Name
Also: YHWH, tetragrammaton, God's personal name, what is God's name, Yahweh, the divine name
The personal name of the true God, appearing nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures as YHWH and rendered Jehovah in English. It means 'He causes to become.' God said it is his name forever, Jesus made it known, and most Bibles have removed it.
- Mark of the Beast
Also: 666, mark in the right hand or forehead, number of the beast, Revelation 13:16
The physical mark the eighth king will force on every person, without which no one can buy or sell. It is a mark OF the beast, so it carries the identity of Satan's system through all seven of its heads, and accepting it is a sin against the holy spirit.
- The Eighth King
Also: eighth king of Revelation 17, eighth world power, beast that was but is not, Revelation 17:11
The final world power, which 'springs from the seven' heads of the wild beast. It is the seventh head after its death-stroke is healed, ruling in a new role, and it goes off into destruction at Armageddon.
- The God of Fortresses
Also: Daniel 11:38, god of forces, god that his fathers did not know, AI in bible prophecy
The god the king of the north honors with gold, silver and precious things in Daniel 11:38-39, unknown to his fathers and tied to fortified strongholds. This site's study presents AI data centers as the structurally precise candidate.
- The Great Crowd
Also: great multitude Revelation 7:9, Revelation 7, other sheep, 144,000, sealed ones
The crowd 'which no man was able to number' that John sees after hearing the number of the sealed (Revelation 7:4, 9). On this site the great crowd is the completed body of sealed holy ones standing before the throne, not a separate earthly class.
- The Great Tribulation
Also: time of distress Daniel 12:1, Matthew 24:21, tribulation, the end times sequence, day of Jehovah
The period of distress 'such as has not occurred since the world's beginning' (Matthew 24:21), which begins when Michael stands up (Daniel 12:1). It includes the fall of Babylon the Great, the image and the mark of the beast, and it ends at Armageddon.
- The Image of the Beast
Also: image of the wild beast, Revelation 13:15, United Nations image of the beast, disgusting thing
The likeness of the eighth king that is given breath, speaks, and causes all who refuse to worship it to be killed. It follows the pattern of Nebuchadnezzar's golden image in Daniel 3, and this site identifies it as the United Nations in a future role.
- The King of the North
Also: little horn, king of the north Daniel 11, Gog of Magog, scarlet beast, Daniel 11:45
Daniel's final king, described as 'different' from every nation before it. Not a state but a transnational network operating through Freemasonry, Rothschild capital and political Zionism, which planted itself in the holy land and comes to its end with no one to help it.
- The Man of Lawlessness
Also: son of destruction, 2 Thessalonians 2, lawless one, sits in the temple of God, the apostasy
The figure Paul says must be revealed before the day of Jehovah, who 'sits down in the temple of The God' (2 Thessalonians 2:4). He operates inside the recognized structure of God's congregation with lying signs, and his oldest sign is the claim that the day of Jehovah is already here.
- The Pangs of Distress
Also: beginning of sorrows, birth pains Matthew 24, Matthew 24:8, signs of the last days, wars and reports of wars
Jesus' term for the opening phase of the end-time sequence: wars, food shortages, earthquakes and pestilence that increase like birth pangs (Matthew 24:7-8). They precede the great tribulation and are not its end. This site does not place their beginning in 1914.
- The Parousia (Presence of Christ) and 1914
Also: 1914, presence of Christ, second coming, invisible presence, Matthew 24:3, gentile times
Parousia is the Greek word for presence, the arrival and continued presence of a ruler. Jesus said his would be as visible as lightning across the sky (Matthew 24:27). This site treats the 1914 invisible-presence teaching as a false parousia that functions as an eschatological sedative.
- The Sacred Secret (Mystery of God)
Also: mystery of God, sacred secret of God, Jerusalem above, the seed of the woman, Genesis 3:15, mystery of the kingdom
Jehovah's solution to sin, formed within himself before creation began and kept hidden until Christ. Pictured as a seed and as a mother, the Jerusalem above, it is the creative generating force that brought forth Christ and the 144,000 as new creations. It predates Genesis 3:15.
- The Star of Saturn (Star of Rephan)
Also: star of Rephan, star of Remphan, Kaiwan, Chiun, six-pointed star, hexagram, Saturn worship, Amos 5:26, Acts 7:43
The star of the false god Israel carried in the wilderness (Amos 5:26; Acts 7:43). Kaiwan and Rephan are names for Saturn, and the star is the six-pointed star found inside the ouroboros in occult imagery. Its esoteric meaning is Saturn, whatever exoteric name it is given.
- The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad
Also: tree of knowledge of good and evil, forbidden fruit, Genesis 2:17, why did God put the tree in the garden
The tree in Eden that symbolized the event of sin on the timeline of creation. It was named for the first use of free will to choose bad, which was Satan's lie, not Adam and Eve's disobedience. Their choice came afterward and remained genuinely free.
- The Two Witnesses
Also: 1260 days, two olive trees and two lampstands, Revelation 11, 1,260 days of prophesying
The two prophets of Revelation 11 who prophesy in sackcloth for 1,260 days, are killed by the beast from the abyss, and are raised after three and a half days. They are Christ's chosen ones representing him on earth during the judgment, and their testimony is what accepting the mark rejects.
- The Wild Beast (Beast Out of the Sea)
Also: seven-headed beast, seven heads of the beast, beast of Revelation 13, beast with seven heads and ten horns, seventh head
The seven-headed, ten-horned beast of Revelation 13:1 that receives its authority from the dragon. Its seven heads are the seven world powers that ruled over God's people: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and Anglo-America.
