Naka Fire Ball Festavil
THE
DRAGONS
IN THE WATERS = 666
By John Henry, Th.D.
"For God is my King of old,
working salvation in the midst of the earth. Thou didst divide the sea by thy
strength: thou brakest the
heads of the dragons in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the
wilderness." (Psalm 74:12-14)
I have been here in Nong
Khai
There are 3 possible answers that might explain why the reddish
“fire balls” shoot up out of the river for 2 or 3 nights each year
in October: 1) fakery, 2) natural phenomenon, or 3)
supernatural. Old timers and likewise their parents have seen the Naka
fire balls since long before the 200,000 people a year began coming to view
this spectacle. No, it is not fakery, and what would possibly cause the
fire balls to ascend just in October. No, the phenomenon is not natural,
but rather it is supernatural.
There are only 2 sources for
supernatural phenomenon: 1) God Almighty and 2) Satan and his angels
(i.e. demons). Yes, believe it or not, there is a good God in Heaven
and there are evil spirits in the earth. The Almighty created angels
before the foundation of the world (Job 38:4-7). He created them holy and
with free will as He also created Adam and Eve. Before time began
Lucifer, of a class of angels called cherubim, was created perfect, but because
of pride and of his own free will he led in a rebellion against God (Ezekiel
28:14-15; Isaiah 14:12-15). A full 1/3 of the angels in heaven followed
him. Lucifer (meaning: the shining one), therefore became Satan (meaning:
the enemy).
“And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out
into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Revelation
12:9)
It was through devious subtlety that “that old serpent”
was able to gained control of the earth which was originally given by God to
Adam and Eve (Gen 1:26-28, 2:16-17, 3:1-6). Adam willfully sinned when he
disobeyed God by following the satanic advice of his wife. By doing so he in effect pawned the
earth over to Satan (Rom 6:16). But
God already had a plan to redeem us from “the great dragon”
and from our sin nature inherited from Adam and Eve (Matt 25:34; John 17:24; 1
Pet 1:20; Eph 1:14; Heb 4:3).
Satan
will be brought to justice! But for
now God is allowing him to run his evil course in order to let him show himself
up for the villain he really is.
Satan will be proved to be worse than Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam and all other tyrants who have ever lived
rolled into one. The Word of God
says that he will be “... cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, … and shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10)
"In that day the LORD with his
sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,
even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon
that is in the sea." (Isaiah 27:1)
Here in
Isaiah 27:1 “the sea” is symbolic for the masses of humanity as in
Revelation 17:15: “… The waters … are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
Likewise, the other fallen angels will eventually be punished (Psalm
74:13), but for now many of them roam the earth doing the bidding of their
leader, Satan. These are the
“seducing spirits” that the Bible speaks of:
“Now the
Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
You may be skeptical about all this, but let me assure you, there is a
wealth of evidence to prove that the Bible is true. If space allowed I could tell you of the
prophecies of the Word of God that have already been fulfilled and about those
that are being fulfilled now. I
could tell you of the internal mathematical evidences of the Bible. And I could tell you of other
irrefutable evidences,
but for now let me give you just one evidence that will show you
that the Bible is true, beyond the shadow of a doubt. It has to do with “the mark of
the beast.”
Years
ago a man by the name of J. R. Church in studying “the mark of the
beast” in the Book of Revelation developed a gematria
formula for the English alphabet based on the ancient Sumerian civilization's
method of calculating. The Sumerian system was based on a root of six as
opposed to ten. It is believed that
the Sumerian civilization is the most ancient and that their system of counting
was the very first. The Sumerian system can still be seen in our use of the
foot (12 inches = 2 x 6) and yard (36 inches = 6 x 6) and in our sexagesimal measurement of time (i.e. 24 hours = 4 x 6; 60
seconds and 60 minuets = 10 x 6).
The Biblical languages of Hebrew and Koine
Greek and other ancient languages used the letters of their alphabets for
numbers also. For example, in the Koine
Greek of 2000 years ago by adding the values of the letters of Lord’s
name, JESUS we get 888.
Applying these facts J. R. Church developed an English gematria based on increments of 6. He did this by adding 6 to each letter
of our alphabet (A = 6, B = 12, C = 18, D = 24, E = 30, F = 36 and so on).
To use such a system to "count the number of the beast"
is called gematria. It is a system for calculating the
numerical equivalence of words and phrases and can be used to gain insight into
interrelations of Biblical concepts.
J. R. Church’s English gematria system
is convincing evidence that backs up established Biblical doctrine. Notice his gematria’s
verification showing what many already believe about this passage:
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means
of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the
image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six” (Revelation 13:14-18, cf. 14:11. 15:2,
16:2, 19:20, 20:4)
* COMPUTER = 666
* TERMINALS = 666
* BIO-IMPLANT = 666
* CALCULATION = 666
* MARK OF BEAST = 666
These are not coincidences, but verifications of the Word of God. Some
2000 years ago, even before there was an English language, God encoded this
mathematical information in His Word to help us understand these last
days.
God spoke to the Prophet Daniel saying, “… O Daniel, shut up
the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the
end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
(Daniel 12:4) Knowledge and
travel have never increased in the way they have in the past 70 years. There was no way the prophecy of
Revelation 13 could have been fulfilled until the advent of the computer which
was first crudely developed during WWII.
But now everything required in order to implement the Antichrist
Beast’s One World System (Government, Economy and Religion) is in place.
Another Bible doctrine that we have already referred to is also verified
by Mr. Church’s gematria system:
* LUCIFER HELL =
666 (Isaiah 14:12-15)
* LUCIFER HADES = 666 (Hades is Greek for hell)
* DEVIL SHEOL = 666 (Sheol is Hebrew for hell)
* DEVIL DRAGON = 666 (Revelation 12:9)
* GREAT DRAGON = 666 (Revelation 12:3, 9)
Likewise the demons that are causing these lying wonders in the
* THE DRAGONS = 666 (Psalm 74:13)
* NAKA FIRE BALLS = 666 (Naka is Thai for
dragon)
* RED FIRE BALLS = 666
Here is
verification of another well established Bible doctrine:
* PEOPLE SIN = 666 (Romans
3:23)
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ….
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” (Romans 3:10, 5:12)
All people are already spiritually marked for death with 666,
because we are all of the house of Adam, and because
we have all sinned before a holy God. But by using the same English gematria system that has given us 666 so many times
(and there are many more that we don’t have room to show here) we also
come up with a totally different number, that of Jesus’ name. We all need
to get rid of the number we inherited from Adam (666) and receive
Jesus’ number (888) and become members of the house of God:
* THE HOUSE OF
GOD = 888 (1 Timothy 3:15;
Hebrews 10:19-25)
There is just one prerequisite to becoming part of the house of
God. Salvation by receiving the
gift of God: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom 6:23). “For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph 2:8-9). It is “… the holy
Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which
is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15). These Scriptures were are also called the perfect Law of Liberty.”
* SCRIPTURES =
888 (Matt 22:29; John 5:39;
1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
* GOD’S
PERFECT BIBLE = 888 (James
1:25; 1 Corinthians 13:9-10)
* LAW OF
This Law of Liberty is testified to by the Holy Trinity.
“For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Ghost: and these three are one” (1 John 5:7; cf. John
1:1-3, 14)
* THE TRINITY = 888 (1
John 5:7)
The
Scriptures bear record that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, and that Biblical
Prophet spoken of by Moses (Deut 18:15-19). His last words from the cross
were, “it is finished.” Everything required for the
salvation of sinners was finished on that old rugged cross. Now the Lord Jesus is risen
from the dead and ascended back to Heaven. He came the first time to save
sinners who would believe on Him.
He is coming a second time to judge unrepentant sinners and to “brake … the heads of the dragons in the waters”
(Psalm 74:13). To the lost Jesus is
the Lion of
* MESSIAH JESUS =
888 (Daniel 9:25-26; John
1:41, 4:25)
* BIBLICAL PROPHET = 888 (Acts 3:22-24)
* FINISHED CROSS
= 888 (John 19:30)
* THE LION OF
* THE KING JESUS
= 888 (John 18:37; 1 Tim
6:15; Rev 17:14, 19:16)
* MORNING STAR = 888 (Rev 22:16)
Now I think that the evidence that has been presented here is sufficient
to prove that the Word of God is true, and its doctrines well established.
These being indisputable facts, please take a moment to review God’s
Plan of Salvation. In order to
change your standing from being God’s enemy (Rom 5:10) to being His child
(Gal 4:5) you must understand these few things:
1. THERE IS A PENALTY TO
PAY FOR YOUR SINS:
“And I say unto you my
friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and
after that have no more that they can do.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he
hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear
him.” (Luke 12:4-5)
“But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death.” (Revelation 21:8)
2. YOU CANNOT SAVE
YOURSELF:
“For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
“Being justified freely by
his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To
declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and
the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” (Romans 3:23-26)
3. ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN
SAVE YOU:
“Jesus saith…,
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.” (John 14:6)
“For there
is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who
gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy
2:5-6)
“Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
4. YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN:
The Bible teaches that you must receive a spiritual birth. This is done by receiving God’s
Word which admonishes us to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. This is done through repentance and
faith. REPENTANCE is turning from your sins in the fear of the Lord in
godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10; Luke 13:1-5; Proverbs 3:7, 8:13, 14:26-27,
16:6). FAITH is turning to
Christ believing that He willing and able to save you (2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4;
Hebrews 7:25; 2 Timothy 1:12). Repentance and faith are inseparable and occur
simultaneously (Acts 20:21; Mark 1:14-15). That is our part. God then instantly causes us to be born
again.
“Of His own will begat he
us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits
of his creatures.” (James 1:18)
“Being born again, not
of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
(1 Peter 1:23)
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2
Peter 1:4)
“Wherefore lay apart all
filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your
souls.” (James 1: 21)
“But what saith
it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the Word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from
the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed. For there is
no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is
rich unto all that call upon him.
For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE
SAVED.” (Romans 10:8-13)
“He came unto his own, and
his own received him not. But as
many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John
1:11-13)
As best as you know how, pray to
the Father in Jesus’ Name: Just humbly tell Him how sorry you are for
your sins, and ask Him to save you from Hell. The Lord Jesus Christ died to save you,
and He gives you these invitations and warnings:
“Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and
he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20)
“And I say
unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Luke
11:9-10)
“He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth
him: the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last
day.” (John 12:48)
“I am he that liveth, and was
dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and
of death.” (Revelation 1:18)
We would count it a joy to know if
this tract helped you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! If it did, please let us know.
