"Eight is the number of new beginnings. Every time there is new light, a fresh moving of God, a mighty reformation, a great and glorious revival in the midst of the Lord’s people who dwell in Babylon — there is a separation, a coming out, and a new thing is birthed. We see it in the Waldenses, the Huguenots, and various other groups throughout church history. We see it in the Reformation when the Protestant churches came out of the Roman Catholic Church with the great truth that the just shall live by faith. The Anabaptists, the Quakers, the Methodists, the Plymouth Brethren, the Puritans, the Pentecostals, and many, many other groups came forth out of the historic Protestant church systems as they received new truth and sought to follow the Lord into new realms in the spirit. Each of these is represented by the “eighth” — a new beginning. And yet, as church history unerringly confirms, every new move of God has subsequently gone into apostasy!"
"It is a great and terrible mystery — the eighth is OF THE SEVEN. There is the key to the mystery! It does not mean that the eighth is “one of the seven.” Oh, no! The preposition “of” is from the Greek “ek” meaning “out of,” and must be understood, as so frequently in John’s writings, to denote origin and identity of nature; this eighth beast is not different in nature from the seven, but is the concentrated essence of them, and therefore destined to not maintain its cuddly innocence and childlike purity, but to go into apostasy — into perdition. It should be very evident to us all that this “eighth” beast, this new beginning, when a people are drawn out of a religious system into a new walk in the spirit, in most cases contains right within it the seed of the Babylonish system out from which they came. Thus they are the eighth — but the new thing is of the seven — same old business under a new regime — and the latter is of the same spirit as the former! Now tell me that isn’t a mystery! The new move has the same potentiality and proclivity for carnality and sectarianism built right in from the very beginning because both the nature of the harlot and the nature of the beast lurk within the heart of every man. So through the generations, rising up in many expressions, the harlot and her beast are within us! And that, my beloved, is the mystery! The various religious kingdoms of man have brought to the full (seven heads, seven mountains, ten horns) the workings of Mystery Babylon the Great!"
Much more in the link:
"The world has not yet witnessed anything like the total and absolute government of God, except in the life of Jesus."
"The ten kings in the mystery are but the governing powers of your natural life, the ten inward kings of man’s flesh nature."
"The kings of man’s life are conquered by the Lamb!"
"Special attention must be paid to this word “overcome.” The Greek word is nikao, the word used in the peculiar statement of the elder in Revelation 5:5 wherein he says that the Lamb has “prevailed” to open the book with the seven seals. The word means to “prevail,” to “overcome,” or to “conquer.” It is the same word used when the Rider on the white horse goes forth “conquering and to conquer.” It is the same word used repeatedly in chapters two and three of the overcomer where at the termination of each of the messages to the seven churches the Spirit proclaims, “To him that overcometh…” “ To him that conquers!” “To him that prevails!” Ah, the Rider on the white horse is going forth overcoming and to overcome, prevailing and to prevail, conquering and to conquer! The term denotes grammatically AN UNENDING SERIES OF CONQUESTS, UNINTERRUPTED BY ANY DEFEATS, WHOSE VICTORIES SHOULD BE PERMANENT AND LAST FOREVER! That is the victory of the Lamb!"
That's nice, but the rider on the White horse is the antichrist. Jesus Christ has many crowns not just one. Nowhere in the scripture does it describe Jesus Christ needing a bow. The scriptures describe Nimrod as a mighty hunter, and Nimrod is a type of the antichrist. The next three seals that are opened bring famine, death and hell. These are not victories.
Which Bible is our boy using?

Andy, Preston Eby spends a good while on the Breaking of the seals, the above link is where he starts. The 4 horsemen are the first four seals I think........right?
Yes, and that would place Christ on the ground before the wrath has come. That would be the second Advent before the wrath. You just skipped over to three and a half year reign of the antichrist, the ministry of the two witnesses and the abomination of desolation. I couldn't care less how long he studied it maybe he should turn the book right side up.
Jesus Christ has been working the ground since Pentecost.
The antichrist had been in the world reigning since Pentecost as well. There is no mention of an antichrist in Revelation.............the whole Babylon system is Antichrist.
And this new religion is called......what?
All four horses and horsemen are Jesus Christ taking the land. It's a great and deep study, you'd expect the carnal mind and Babylon doctrine to make it backwards from Christ being victorious in our earth.
Go back in the study and see how Eby handles the horsemen...........I can do it for you, but probably not this weekend, we're going camping :)
The second Advent comes before the wrath? You really have broke new ground. What will you name this entirely new religion?
Study the breaking of the seals:

Well, actually, it's the 10 kingdoms that the people have chosen to rule over them, instead of God. I don't know why Eby flips his lid on this. The message couldn't be more clear, the people chose Babylon and Babylon ate them up. Then they chose Rome and Rome ate them up. Real soon, we're going to try God's way for a thousand years.
It's all about His Kingdom, with the King of Kings on the throne, why does Eby obscure this message?
A lot of people don't know their being ruled.
Actually this is Babylons destruction, not the peoples destruction. It's good news Andy
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
The Lamb shall overcome them.........in you.
Actually this is Babylons destruction, not the peoples destruction.
Merrick Garland and the FBI is a victory?
"The thing which fills my heart with consternation is this: no sooner has the revelation of God delivered us from the power of Babylon than we begin to cast our eyes about us, and count noses to find out who is with us and who is against us, and what material we can find to build another tower of Babel. This in itself is the Babylonish, sectarian spirit reaching out another of its octopus-like arms to enfold us and bring us back to itself. We wake up to find we have not come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, but have just wandered down another street in Babylon itself. We have changed one Babylonish garment for another and we are still part and parcel of the same devouring monster. To call ourselves undenominational is not enough. We must have the name of Babylon erased from our foreheads by the mind of Christ and a new name written there, even the name of the City of God."
both the nature of the harlot and the nature of the beast lurk within the heart of every man.
Not in this man they don't, I repulsed that garbage.

The Vatican sits on seven hills.
It's spiritual Andy, while you're looking outside for some other sectarian power, you miss sectarian power working in you, that's what Babylon does as the false church, it has kings, that dictate over your life, anything other than Christ, is the lying harlot system, don't worry though, the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ tells of the total destruction of Babylon, coming right up in chapter 18. Very exciting!
I don't attend the roman catholic church so I have no idea how a sectarian power could be working in me. Are they sending out spiritual hobgoblins now, to lead the blind to Mother Mary and their other false idols? Last time I checked, they were working up their hocus pocus in real church, with real false prophets preaching real heresy.
Can you levitate too?
Andy, in Revelation, Babylon is spiritual, it is the false church with all its doctrines and misleadings, it is not one sect, it's in all sects including yours and the doctrines that rule you.
