The Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical writings are also an addition to the word of God because although written between 100-400 BC, they were never accepted by God's Old Testament Jews or Church into the Hebrew Bible of the Old Testament, and they were never quoted from by Christ nor by the Apostles nor the eyewitnesses to and early followers of the Apostles in the 1st century who all wrote the New Testament Holy Scriptures. They can also be shown to have errors in them, and some of their writings go against the very clear teachings of the Apostles and the New Testament Holy Scriptures themselves. This means that the Catholic Church that officially added these writings to the Holy Canon at the Council of Trent in 1546 AD have been under the wrath of God now for hundreds of years according to Revelation 22:18. All other so-called faiths or religions who have either added to or taken away from the true Holy Scriptures are also under the wrath of God including modern Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Freemasons, 7TH Day Adventism with so-called Prophet Ellen White, Hinduism, and many others.
But let's get back to our verse in Revelation 13. It reads,
If anyone is
[ongoingly]
having an ear, let him
[or her]
hear
.
We already mentioned that only the Elect of God chosen from the foundation of the world are ongoingly listening to the word of God and able to hear or understand the deeper spiritual truths therein because only they have the Holy Spirit to guide them into all such truth. All others will not be able to see nor accept many of the deeper
was written. All other so-called Holy Scriptures written after the Book of Revelation such as the Quran or any other so-called Holy Writings are an addition to the word of God, and those who wrote them, believing that they came from God, are under the wrath of God, for at the very end of the last Holy Scriptures to be written, we read,
Re 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book
...
And this book does not just refer to the Book of Revelation, but it refers to all the Holy Scriptures of God, for to add unto the Book of Revelation is to add unto all the Holy Scriptures, and to add unto other Holy Scriptures is to add unto the Book of Revelation because the Holy Scriptures are a cohesive whole. You cannot fully understand the Book of Revelation without the help from other Holy Scriptures, and you cannot fully understand the other Holy Scriptures without the help from the Book of Revelation. Thus, to take away from one book of the Holy Scripture is to take away from the other books of Holy Scripture, and to add to any book of the Holy Scripture is to add to the other books of the Holy Scripture. They are one complete whole that is the authority which circumscribes or determines the true faith. Religions or faiths that have added or taken away books from the true Holy Canon of Scripture are in violation of Revelation 22:18-19 and so subject to the plagues written therein. So, it is crucial that one know what the true canon of Scripture is.

many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased
.
In other words, no Christian would be able to understand these things of the time of the end until that time came near, which it did as we approached May 21, 1988 when the final Judgment began with the House of God, and we began to see more clearly what the Holy Scriptures were teaching about the Great Tribulation, God's Judgment on the Church, the command of Christ to depart out from all the Christian churches worldwide, the Antichrist who is the ultimate counterfeit Christ who was given rule over all the Christian churches worldwide as judgment against them, and Judgment Day, which consists of many days, wherein God continues to bring His Judgment against the whole Church and brings His final Judgment on the whole world beginning on May 21, 2011.
Then, besides God having a timetable for revealing truth, the other main reason why most Christians have not been able to really understand what Revelation 13 and other scriptures teach that have to do with the time of the end is because they were never truly saved and so do not have the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth. Jesus said to His disciples,
Joh 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come
.
But, if so-called Christians have not received
Page 5
the Holy Spirit but some other spirit of a counterfeit gospel because they were never really saved (Romans 8:9 - if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his), how can they come to truth about the deeper spiritual truths of the Latter Days? They cannot! And this is certainly one big reason why those who now fill the Christian churches worldwide cannot come to truth, especially so with the deeper spiritual truths of the Latter Days in which we now find ourselves.
Furthermore, God is feeding all the Christian churches worldwide a strong delusion that they would believe a lie. We read in 2thessalonians 2, which speaks about the time of the Great Tribulation when the counterfeit Christ, THE ANTICHRIST, also known as the Man of Sin or Son of Perdition, Satan himself, takes up his seat of rule in the Church worldwide, in verses 9-12,

Even him [the Man of sin who is the Antichrist, Satan himself] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders
,

guide them into truth, for they were never truly
saved, and the Holy Spirit was removed for all the Christian churches beginning on May 21, 1988 to allow for God's Judgment against them. As a result, they are being fed a strong delusion from God Himself to keep them from seeing the truth, namely that they are being ruled over by and worshipping Satan by going to a church without even knowing it. They have all been caught in the snare of the Trapper who is Jesus Christ because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved (comment). They are all caged in without being able to escape because of God's wrath upon all their churches, and there is no longer mercy to be truly saved and granted eternal life. This is the Great Tribulation and time of trouble for the Christian Church, which was declared by the Prophets of old. Just as God destroyed the old earthly Jerusalem and the temple in 587 BC, so now also He has destroyed the new earthly Jerusalem and temple (all the Christian churches worldwide) by September 7, 1994 of the Great Tribulation. The main difference being that whereas the old earthly Jerusalem and temple were somewhat restored under Ezra and then Nehemiah, the Christian churches worldwide will never be restored.
Revelation 13:9
If any man have an ear, let him hear!

churches?
Now, in closing, remember when Jesus's disciples asked Him why He spoke in parables to the Old Testament Church, the people of the nation of Israel. We read in Matthew 13,
11
He answered and said unto them
[his disciples]
15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them
.
16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear
.
So, the reason why Jesus spoke in words and sentences to the Old Testament Church with deeper spiritual meanings was because the deeper spiritual truths of God's word, the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, were not given to them but only to his few disciples. And this is true today of the Christian Church (all the Christian churches worldwide) as well. They cannot understand the deeper spiritual things of the Latter Days such as, for instance, are written in Revelation 13 so that they see and read Revelation 13 and the Bible, but they cannot see the deeper spiritual truths of the Latter Days, namely that God's wrath is upon them by remaining in the Church; that Christ has instructed His people to depart out from all the Christian churches; that they are worshipping the beast by remaining in the Church; that there is no possibility of revival and restoration for any of the Christian churches; that THE ANTICHRIST has already come and has been given rule over all the Christian churches as God's Judgment against them; that salvation has come to an end in all the Christian churches as well as the whole world; and that Judgment Day has come

spiritual truths in Holy Scripture, for we read in 1Corinthians 2,
1Co 2:
12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God
.
13
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual
.
14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned
.
This is why you can show many so-called Christians the spiritual meaning of a particular passage in the Bible by comparing scripture to scripture, spiritual things with spiritual things as the Bible prescribes as the method for proper interpretation; nevertheless, they cannot see it, or they just won't see it because it is foolishness to them. They just cannot accept what it says. In fact, many Christians have been taught an incorrect method of interpretation that keeps them from seeing the deeper spiritual truths of the Bible. They were taught that they must take the Bible literally like any book unless it is absolutely clear in a particular passage that they should not (this is called the Historical Literal Method of Interpretation). What foolishness! The Bible is a spiritual book! Yes, it does literally record history as they literally took place, but history is written therein as a historical
