AFTER CERTAIN YEARS TO THE END OF THE SIXTH KING
sun, moon, and stars will be darkened for a third part of the
day. We are not told what will cause this massive blackout in
the sky. However, based upon the first three trumpet events,
it’s sure to be bad! And yet, do you think God will give us
protection during this event?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“I just had a thought…” Sarah said. “Is there any mention
of the financial damage caused from the first trumpet event
or the second, the third, or even the fourth event? A typical
monetary system could be devastated by some of the events
mentioned.”
“You’re right, Sarah.” Lowell replied. “It’s an interesting
point. There is no mention of the monetary system struggling
during this time. We will have to wait and see how it plays
out.”
Jose interjected, “I wonder if the sixth king can simply
just create more money whenever he wants like the Fed does
today.”
Lowell commented, “It’s also going to be interesting to
see what type of monetary system the Christians are going to
have.” Lowell paused to see if anyone else wanted to make a
comment. No one spoke-up so he continued, “You’ll notice
on the slide that it shows the hundred and forty-four thousand
will also meet at Mount Zion sometime during the fourth
< 127 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
trumpet event. I believe they have returned to report they
have fulfilled their assignment to gather all the Christians
they could to safety.”
Maria commented, “Well, aren’t they a little late? I
mean we’ve had the sixth seal event and hail with fire and
a third of the trees and all the grass burned up and a third
of the sea destroyed and a third of the rivers and fountains
poisoned and a third of the sun, moon, and stars blackened
out somehow…” then Maria paused. “Oooohhh! I bet a lot
of faithful Christians would have gathered even prior to the
sixth seal event and the hundred and forty-four thousand are
helping those who need help or are late in deciding to reject
the mark of the beast!”
< 128 >
AFTER CERTAIN YEARS TO THE END OF THE SIXTH KING
“That’s what I’m thinking too, Maria,” Lowell said.
“Because after the fourth trumpet angel, another angel says,
‘Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of
the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, which
are yet to sound.’ So, the angel is warning that the events of
the fifth, sixth and seventh angels are even worse than the
first four trumpet angel events and God wants the Christians
gathered to safety before the last three trumpets sound.”
Austin responded, “That makes sense. So, what are the
events of the fifth, sixth, and seventh trumpet angels?”
“I’m going to tell you…” Lowell said. “However, for
sure, the events of the fifth trumpet angel happen during the
time when the eighth king is in power. Remember, we don’t
know for sure if the sixth king or the seventh king or the
eighth king is in power when the second, third, and fourth
trumpet angel events happen. Now you know what the
second, third, and fourth trumpet events are, it is time to go
back to what happens after the sixth king, the second king
of the north, attacks the kingdom of the south after certain
years.”
Jose recalled, “Yeah, he must be making a lot of kings
nervous since he has power over the monetary system and a
huge army and still has much riches left over.”
“And other kings have a right to be very nervous and
concerned,” Lowell said. “Because after the sixth king
conquers a portion of the kingdom of the south, he begins to
conquer many isles!”
Landon placed his head back on the lawn chair and
< 129 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
looked up into the sky. “Man, this has bad news written all
over it! A king who controls the world monetary system,
has a huge army, and sets off to go and conquer! What can
possibly stop him?”
Maria spoke up, “You would think the two kings who
had helped convince the kings and people around the world
would be able to stop him.”
Lowell shook his head and said, “For whatever reason
they don’t and the sixth king conquers one isle after another
until…”
Austin looked surprised, “He does get stopped?”
“Yep!” Lowell said. “One of his princes somehow says
or does something that makes the sixth king head back to the
fort of his own land.”
“I bet the sixth king kills that prince!” Jose said.
Lowell replied, “The scriptures aren’t clear about that,
Jose. However, the scriptures are clear that the sixth king for
some untold reason doesn’t ever make it back to his fort. He
simply vanishes and is never heard from again.”
“Wow!” Austin said. “I thought the sixth king was
going to conquer the world!”
Landon added, “Yeah, I bet there were a lot of kings
and people around the world who thought he would conquer
the world!”
Maria looked like she was pondering the situation when
she replied, “Yeah, I bet when the sixth king attacked the
kingdom of the south, the two kings who helped convince
the kings and people to accept the monetary system quickly
< 130 >
AFTER CERTAIN YEARS TO THE END OF THE SIXTH KING
found themselves between a rock and a hard place. Kings
and people were demanding they stop the sixth king and the
two kings had to quickly decide whose side they were going
to be on. They ended up choosing to side with the sixth king.
At that point those two kings just burned their bridges with
most or all of the other kings and people around the world.
It was all or nothing for those two kings. Either the sixth
king conquered and controlled or the two kings would find
themselves in grave danger.”
Lowell looked at Maria in surprise and said, “Give it up
for Maria!” He started to clap and others joined in as Lowell
continued, “Maria! You got it! You have wrapped your head
around the situation and you’re seeing the thing play out in
your mind. Nice work! So now think about the kingdom of
the north not hearing from their king for a day, two days, or
even a week or longer! What do you think is going through
their minds and the minds of all the people in the isles that
the sixth king had conquered? And what do you think is
going through the minds of lion king, the bear king, and the
leopard king who were helping to run the monetary system?”
Lowell looked around and saw everyone really getting into
this now. Landon took the chance to refill everyone’s glasses
with fresh lemonade.
After a moment of silence Lowell said, “Let’s start
with the people in the kingdom of the north. They don’t hear
from the king. They don’t know where he is or anything.
They have no reason to think he is hurt. What do you think
is going through their minds?”
< 131 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Landon spoke up, “This guy sounds like Hitler. I sure
wouldn’t want to be second in command.”
“Why?” Lowell asked.
Landon replied, “Because, if I as second in command
start giving my own orders and the sixth king returns and
doesn’t like me giving those new orders, I’m dead!”
“Landon, I think you are right,” Lowell replied. “I think
everyone was scared to take control. So, now think about the
people in the isles he had conquered. If the kingdom of the
north is confused about what they should do because no one
can find the sixth king, what would you do if you were the
people in the isles that had been conquered?” Lowell paused
for a brief moment and then continued, “Wait! Before you
answer that, think about the lion king, the bear king, and
the leopard king who had been helping to run the monetary
system and now see the sixth king go rogue. At least one
of the two kings had helped convince them and other kings
and people around the world to set up the monetary system.
Now, the sixth king isn’t heard from, what do you think the
lion king, the bear king, and the leopard king might want to
do?”
“That’s easy!” Lacey said. “They would try to take over
the monetary system and remove all access that the sixth
king and also the two kings had to it.”
“And why would the lion king, the bear king, and the
leopard king want to do that?” Lowell asked.
Lacey answered, “Because, all the kings around
the world were probably wondering who was going to be
< 132 >
AFTER CERTAIN YEARS TO THE END OF THE SIXTH KING
conquered next and if the sixth king would conquer the
whole world! This was the moment to stop him or else!”
“Yeah, and you know what?” Lowell asked before
answering, “Those three kings—the lion king, the bear king,
and the leopard king—I think they do exactly that! They
take over the monetary system and they boot out at least
one of the two kings who had helped convince the world.”
Lowell took a breath and paused for a moment as he watched
everyone think over the situation. “Now, think about being
on one of those isles that were conquered and hearing that
the sixth king has not been heard from and that the lion king,
the bear king, and the leopard king have taken control of
the monetary system and have removed the sixth king from
control and have also removed at least one of the two kings
from control as well. And that the sixth king’s country, the
kingdom of the north and their army has been ordered to stop
any more attacks. What would you do if you were on one of
the isles that had been conquered?”
< 133 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Sarah answered, “I’d take back possession of my isle!”
“Right! Why not?” Lowell
asked. “And that is what they do.
From Daniel, chapter 7, we learn
when the dreadful and terrible king is
gone. . . All that massive area that he
had controlled is broken up into ten
kingdoms! One of the ten kingdoms
was obviously his own kingdom of
the north, another kingdom was part
of the kingdom of the south he
had conquered, and the other eight
were kingdoms from the isles he
had conquered. Remember he had
also authorized the killing of those
Christians who had not accepted
the monetary system! He was one
really evil king! You can see why Daniel called
The king of the north attacks
him dreadful and terrible!”
the kingdom of the south and
takes over a portion of the
< 134 > kingdom of the south.
(Dan. 11:15-17)
AFTER CERTAIN YEARS TO THE END OF THE SIXTH KING
“Man, Lowell, this is exciting stuff!” Jose said.
“It really is, Jose, and it really is going to happen,”
Lowell said. “Probably not exactly as we are describing
it. There always seems to be unexpected twists and turns.
However, I think this gives us a sense of what’s going to
happen and the need for us to tell the politicians for the love
of God and our country, stop ignoring the prophetic events!
We need to change course! Obviously, we need better
politicians in there.”
“Amen!” Austin shouted and everyone nodded in
agreement.

CHAPTER TEN

EIGHTH KINGS
owell said. “O.K., now let’s consider what’s going
on with the kingdom of the north now that the sixth
Lking has not been heard from and has been removed
from power and authority over the monetary system. Also
the places he has conquered have broken away from the
kingdom of the north’s power.” Lowell brought up a new
slide. “Finally—it could be days or months, sometime after
all those things have happened—a person Daniel calls a
raiser of taxes finally becomes the next king, the seventh
king. I’m sure there is a mutual agreement that should the
sixth king come back, the seventh king would step down.
However, that really isn’t an issue because within a few days
< 136 > < 136 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
of being made king, the seventh king is killed neither in
anger nor in battle.”
Landon looks puzzled. “Then how is he killed?”
“Follow me through on this,” Lowell said. “The
kingdom of the north people are probably not too excited
about their new king. He’s nothing compared to the sixth
king. He didn’t take control soon enough after the sixth
king went missing. He didn’t prevent the lion king, the
bear king, and the leopard king from booting the sixth king
from control of the monetary system, neither did the raiser
of taxes king prevent the nine other countries that the sixth
king had conquered from breaking away from the kingdom
of the north.” Lowell took a breath and relaxed for a moment
before continuing, “My guess is that the lion king, the bear
king, and the leopard king have heavily fined the kingdom of
the north and at least one of the two kings’ kingdoms as well
for war crimes. So, the kingdom of the north is in really bad
shape and I would imagine that many people in the kingdom
of the north put a good portion of the blame on the king who
raises taxes. Does that make sense?”
Everyone seemed to agree as Landon responded, “O.K.,
< 137 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
I’ll go along with that. It makes perfect sense but it doesn’t
answer the question of how the seventh king dies neither in
anger nor in battle. You’re holding out on us, Lowell. Come
on, give it up.”
“And now you know that bit of information, I can,”
Lowell replied. “After…” he pauses to watch the expressions
on the faces of his audience as he leaves them hanging, “…
we consider what’s going on with this one of two kings who
had convinced the kings and people around the world to
build the monetary system in which the sixth king would
control. With the rampage the sixth king went on, do you
think the people around the world like this king?”
Everyone shook their heads as Austin said, “No way,
man!”
< 138 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
Lowell looked at them. “Like I said a moment ago, this
king gets booted out of the monetary leadership and I would
guess that he and his country get heavily fined for the war
actions.” Lowell paused and then asked, “How do you think
the people in his country feel about him now?”
Maria responded, “I’m going to guess that the people
in his country are upset with him for having falsely misled
the other kings as well as the nations of the world that the
monetary system would ensure peace. I also think that the
people in his country are upset that he didn’t attempt to stop
the sixth king from attacking other countries. I would guess
that he actually supported the sixth king conquering other
nations. So, I think the people of his country no longer want
him as their king.”
Lowell looked at Maria with praise and said, “Awesome!
Maria, you nailed it again! Great job! Does that make sense
to everyone?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“This little horn king from one of the Grecia areas, who
< 139 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
helped set up the monetary system, is about to get booted out
as king, and he knows it!” Lowell said. “So, what does he
do? Where can he go?” Lowell looked to see if anyone had
figured it out. After a few moments Lowell asked, “How do
you think the kingdom of the north feels about this Grecian
king who helped setup the monetary system that the sixth
king, the second king of the north controlled?”
Austin took a guess, “Well, his father had vessels
of silver and gold taken so the kingdom of the north was
probably financially suffering or at least not very wealthy.”
“Right…” Lowell said and then encouraged him further,
“Continue. What else do we know about the kingdom of the
north before the monetary system was set up?”
Austin looked clueless and looked for help from
the others. Landon had an ‘Aha!’ moment and said, “The
kingdom of the north had lost tens of thousands of people in
a battle before the sixth seal event and the monetary system
was set up. He, the sixth king, was also wounded with a
deadly wound and was healed.”
“Very good, Austin and Landon!” Lowell replied with
praise and took the point further. “Do you think the kingdom
of the north is grateful for the little horn king from one of
the four Grecia areas for pulling their country up into such
power and wealth?”
Sarah answered, “Well yeah! Of course!”
Lowell looked around, “Would we all agree that the
people of the kingdom of the north probably love or at least
like this little horn king from the Grecia area?”
< 140 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
Everyone nodded.
Lowell then asked, “Can we all agree that this little
horn king from one of the Grecia areas needs to find a new
home because the people in his country are about ready to
boot him out?”
Everyone agreed again.
Lowell then asked, “Can we also agree that the people
in the kingdom of the north really don’t like the king who
raises taxes who has just been in power as king for a few
days?”
Landon jumped up out of his lawn chair and practically
yelled out, “I’ve got it! Wow! Brilliant move!” He stepped to
the side of the chair next to his wife and said, “The little horn
< 141 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
king kills the king who raises taxes and becomes the eighth
king! Because he knows he would have been removed as
king in his Grecia area and the people in the kingdom of the
north like him for what he has done for them! Brilliant move
on his part!”
“It really is,” Lowell said. “Good job, Landon.” Then
Lowell looked around. “Does that make sense? By the way,
for all we know, the little horn king could actually be a
president. Maybe he was coming up for re-election or in the
process of being impeached.”
This king kills
3 of these kings
one of which is
the 7th king.
After killing those kings
he then gives up being
the king of the Grecia
area and becomes the 8th
king who eventually gets
the power, seat, and
authority of Satan and
goes to fight Christ when
Christ returns in power
and glory!
ALL THE SAME PERSON!
Everyone nodded and agreed.
Lowell continued, “So, scripturally this is pretty
< 142 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
interesting. It’s pulling together clues from five chapters:
two from Revelation, chapters 13 and 17, and the others
from Daniel, chapter 8, and then Daniel, chapters 7 and 11.”
Austin said, “So, Daniel and John just didn’t spill the
beans and make it easy to find out?”
“Well, let’s just say that by combining the information
and connecting dots like we have been doing, we get a much
clearer picture,” Lowell said.
Austin responded, “Man, Lowell, you have been doing
an awesome job at connecting the dots. This is amazing!”
“God is amazing!” Lowell said. “To see how God
worked with the prophets John and Daniel who lived about
six hundred years apart and had them write these things that
come together so perfectly is a witness of the power of God.”
“Amen!” Jose, Austin, Maria, and Lacey said out loud.
“O.K.,” Lowell said. “Let’s begin!” He changed the
slide. “In Revelation chapter 13, we learn that two kings
convince kings and people around the world to make the
monetary system and give the power to the sixth king.”
< 143 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Lowell stepped back toward the TV. “We also learn that at
least one of the two kings spoke like the dragon. Who is the
dragon?”
“Satan,” Austin answered. “Revelation chapter 12 verse
9.”
“Correct!” Lowell replied. “Now, Revelation chapter
13 doesn’t tell us where the two kings are from. However,
with the tip that at least one of the kings speaks like Satan,
it’s enough to make the connection that one of the two kings
is the same person as the little horn king from Daniel chapter
8. Even though he is from one of the four split-off Grecia
kingdoms, he eventually becomes the eighth king, the fourth
king in the kingdom of the north.”
< 144 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
Jose spoke up, “Man, I’m sure glad you have these
slides. They make things so much easier to follow.”
Everyone agreed as Austin noted aloud, “Amen to that!”
“Thanks,” Lowell said and moved on. “From here it all
becomes a lot simpler to verify. Daniel chapter 7 tells us that
the person who becomes the eighth king kills three kings
first. From Daniel, chapter 11, we learn one of the kings he
kills is the seventh king who only lives a few days as king.”
Landon, still standing with excitement next to his
wife, has a look like he had just made another connection.
“So, the king who raised taxes wasn’t killed in anger or in
battle because it was like business to the little horn king. He
needed a place to go, and the tax raiser king was unfit for the
position, so the little horn king took him out. Badda boom…
Badda bing!”
“Yeah, Landon, that’s right,” Lowell said. “In Daniel,
chapter 11, we are told that the eighth king, whom Daniel
called a vile person, comes in with the arms of a flood and
kills the raiser of taxes king and the prince of the covenant.
He does it in such a way as it is peaceful and he gains control
of the kingdom of the north with flatteries.”
Lacey interjected, “Sounds like this eighth king is a
smooth talker like Satan.”
“Yeah, he’s a real piece of work,” Lowell replied. “An
interesting note is that the people of the kingdom of the north
do not give him the honor of being their king and yet he is.”
He allowed his audience to think about that for a moment and
extrapolated on his point. “This helps solve a real mystery in
< 145 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Revelation, chapter 17, which talks about the beast who is a
king that was, and is not and yet is.”
Austin’s eyes lit up. “I remember reading that!” He
looked around at the others and said, “I could never figure
that out! What does it mean?”
Lowell smiled and said, “Do you realize that I am just
handing over all these really remarkable connections that
took a whole lot of effort to find out?”
This king kills
3 of these kings
one of which is
the 7th king.
This king kills
3 of these kings
one of which is
the 7th king.
< 146 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
Lacey spoke up, “Yes, you have been very kind to just
spill the beans and we know you want our help to tell others
and to turn our nation around so, don’t stop now… come on,
Lowell! Spill more of the beans!”
Everyone chuckled and started chanting, “Spill the
beans! Spill the beans! Spill the beans!”
“All right, all right, here ya go,” Lowell said and then
chuckled. “It’s on the next slide anyway.”
Everyone laughed.
Lowell took a deep breath. “The answer as to why and
how the beast, the eighth king was, and is not, and yet is…”
Lowell paused with his finger on the slide changer, “is…”
He paused again making everyone hungry for the answer
and then changed the slide. “He is a king of one of the Grecia
areas and yet is not given the honor of being the king of
the kingdom of the north area,…” Lowell cued everyone to
Was a
king
He is not
given the
Honor to be
their king
and yet is...
their king!
< 147 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
join in on the final part of the answer and they all repeated
together, “and yet he is their king!” They all laughed and
high fived each other.
“See if these verses from Revelation chapter 17 become
a little more easier to understand now.” Lowell said as he
changed the slide.
Austin said, “Magnificent! Way to go, Lowell! That’s
awesome! Simply Awesome!”
< 148 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
“Glory be to God!” Lowell said and then paused for a
moment. “As Landon mentioned earlier, what we are seeing
is a king from one of the Grecia areas becoming a king of the
kingdom of the north, which is a Muslim area. Wouldn’t that
be interesting if he was not a Muslim?”
Austin replied, “An infidel king? Man, that right there
would be enough for those people not to give him the honor
of being their king!”
“He could convert to Muslim,” Sarah said.
“True. We have to move along,” Lowell said. “Now that
< 149 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
the eighth king is ruling, one of the things we want to watch
for is to see when he gets the power, seat, and authority of
Satan.”
Jose looked a little puzzled. “I thought he had Satan’s
stuff back when he was speaking like the dragon, while he
was busy convincing the kings and nations of the world to
build the monetary system.”
“I can see how you would come to that conclusion.
However… he doesn’t show that he has Satan’s power, seat,
and authority by playing second fiddle to the sixth king or by
being pushed out of being king of one of the Grecian areas.
As we go along now, you will see that for quite some time,
even though he is the new king of the north, he doesn’t show
signs of having the power, seat, and authority of Satan either.
You’ll eventually see that it is at the time of the sounding
of the fifth trumpet angel that he gets the power, seat, and
authority of Satan.”
“Man, you’re right,” Jose said. “If he had the power,
< 150 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
seat, and authority of Satan earlier, he would be showing a
lot more super powers.”
Lowell said, “Watch and see if this makes sense.” He
took a step closer to the group. “In Daniel, chapter 11, this
eighth king is referred to as the vile person and you’ll hear
me call him that often as we go along now. He had obtained
the kingdom of the north peaceably and with flatteries.
Doesn’t that sound like what Satan would try and do?”
Everyone nodded.
Lowell continued, “Then he scatters food and riches and
things among some of the people. It sounds like he does this
among the upper class people. Do you think that his efforts
could have won over some of the hearts of the people?”
Everyone again nodded.
Lowell continued, “Then Daniel says that the vile
person will forecast his devices against the strongholds, even
for a time.” Lowell paused. “I don’t know exactly what the
strongholds are. However, sometime later, in fact, the very
next thing that Daniel writes is that this vile person shall
< 151 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
stir up his power and his courage against the king of the
south with a great army. So, the vile person has had a plan
to attack the kingdom of the south. He has finally stirred up
his power—meaning his army I would guess—and he has
stirred up his courage to go and attack the king of the south.”
As Lowell paused, Landon took the opportunity to ask, “The
sixth king had attacked the kingdom of the south too. Why
do they keep picking on the kingdom of the south?”
Lowell replied, “Remember, although the king of the
south seems to be from Egypt, the kingdom of the south also
includes Israel and of course that’s where the holy mountain
is.”
Landon smiled with an ‘Ah-ha!’ moment look. “So,
Trump’s action of letting Israel call Jerusalem their capital
will be a sore spot for many Muslims decades later.”
Lowell pointed at Landon, “Right! Plus Israel also
has a large stash of weapons including nuclear weapons.
Remember that in addition many Muslims feel that the Jews
need to be wiped off the face of the earth.”
Maria interjected, “Well, I thought the leaders of the
monetary system intended to use the monetary system to
prevent countries from attacking one another?”
“Ah! Glad you remembered that,” Lowell said. “Let’s
continue and you’ll see how that comes into play with the
verses here in Daniel, chapter 11.” Lowell took a step toward
the TV. “Daniel records that once the vile person has stirred
up his power and his courage against the king of the south,
he did this with a great army. Then the king of the south is
< 152 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army. Who
do you think wins, the vile person with his great army or the
king of the south with his very great and mighty army?”
Everyone looked clueless as Jose said, “You would
think the king of the south since he seems to have the more
powerful army and home field advantage.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “That’s what you would think.
However, Daniel says, ‘but he [the king of the south] shall
not stand because they shall forecast devices against him.’
So, this vile person had made plans to not only come with
his great army to attack the king of the south, he also planned
to use people in leadership in the kingdom of the south to
sabotage the king of the south and his army! Daniel wrote
that those who eat with the king of the south shall destroy
the king of the south. The vile person’s army shall overflow
and many shall be slain. The vile person is a real planner,
isn’t he?”
“Yeah!” Lacey said. “He’s a really smart, evilly
ambitious, devious, and convincing guy.”
“And you would expect that of someone to whom Satan
will give his power, seat, and authority.” Lowell said and then
< 153 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
changes the slide. “O.K., look what happens next. Somehow,
some way, these two kings end up at the same negotiation
table!” Lowell looked around at the others. “Daniel says they
both speak lies and they both have hearts to do mischief!”
He looked at everyone again with a smile. “What does that
tell us when they are both at the same table?”
Everyone looked at Lowell and the slide as they tried to
think of the answer. Then Lacey spoke up and said, “There
is someone or a group that is more powerful than the vile
person and the king of the south.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “Who might that be?”
“Those over the monetary system?” Sarah said almost
as a question.
“Right, Sarah.” Lowell said with praise. “This is
confirmation that the vile person is not part of the monetary
leadership any more. He’s forced to the negotiation table and
furthermore, Daniel tells us that the vile person, sometime
after this meeting, takes his army out of the kingdom of the
south and returns to the kingdom of the north. Do you think
the vile person wants to give up what he had just conquered?”
< 154 >
THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH KINGS
They shook their heads.
“Yeah, he’s forced to do it because if he doesn’t do it
what could happen?” Lowell asked.
Austin answered, “Those over the monetary system
could shut the vile person and his kingdom down.”
Maria said, “The money is all digital. They could not
only shut them down, they could take all their money too!”
“Yeah, you’re right!” Lowell said. “But, doesn’t it seem
odd that this super smart guy, the vile person, wouldn’t have
known he would get in trouble for attacking the kingdom of
the south?”
Everyone agreed.
“So, why did he do it? Why did he risk getting financially
shut down?” Lowell asked.
No one spoke up and after a few moments, Lowell said,
“We’ll find out pretty quickly.” Lowell changed the slide.
“However, first we learn the vile person has another setback.”
Landon saw the slide and then said, “I don’t get it!
Why would he attack again if what you were saying was true
about the monetary leaders having power to financially cut
him off?”
Everyone looked at Landon and Lowell like they agreed
with Landon’s question.
Lowell smiled, “It’s a great question isn’t it?”
Everyone nodded.
“The vile person is not stupid,” Lowell said. “So, why
does he try to attack again?” Lowell paused to let them think
about that question for a moment and then said, “By the way,
< 155 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
what happens is that the vile person and his army are spotted
by the ships of Chittim and the ships come after him and his
army. So they are forced to turn around and go back.”
Landon said, “I don’t get it! It doesn’t make any sense!
Why is he risking everything to attack the kingdom of the
south?”
Lowell looked at them and said, “Let me tell you what
happens next and I think it will all start to make perfect
sense. You will see that yes, this vile person is really smart
and really evil!” Lowell changed the slide.

owell continued, “We learn that vile person’s attempt
to attack the kingdom of the south was not a total
Lwaste even though the ships of Chittim forced them
to retreat.” Lowell paused and everyone anxiously waited
for him to continue. “The vile person gains information from
people in the kingdom of the south who are against those for
the holy covenant.”
Jose interjected, “Man, he’s good at being evil! He
flatters people and gets them to do all kinds of bad stuff.”
“Exactly!” Lowell said. “And the vile person gets a
group of people inside the kingdom of the south to fight
for him and help him take over the sanctuary of strength,
take away the daily sacrifice, and eventually set up the
abomination that makes desolate.”
< 158 > < 158 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
Jose looked at Lowell with a confused look and said,
“Man, you just said a whole lot of something that doesn’t
make any sense to me at all.” The others in the group looked
just as confused.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go though and spill the beans,”
Lowell said with a smile. “The key is to understand what the
sanctuary of strength is. What is the physical strength behind
Israel? What tangible things do they have that prevents them
from being wiped off the face of the earth?”
Landon said, “You kind of mentioned it before. They
have a massive amount of weapons including nuclear
weapons.”
Lowell asked, “So, the vile person gets people on the
inside of that weapons storage place to turn against the
kingdom of the south and helps the vile person’s army to
take control. Now, how bad is that for the kingdom of the
south?”
Landon answered, “It’s game over for them.
Checkmate.”
Maria quickly asked, “Wait! What about the leaders of
the monetary system? Why can’t they shut down the vile
person?”
“Before I answer that, let’s make a couple of connections
that will help us out.” Lowell responded and then changed
the slide. “Daniel says the sanctuary of strength is polluted
and the daily sacrifice is taken away. Daniel also mentions
this in Daniel chapter 8 and we get more insight. In the
vision Daniel saw an army was given to the vile person
< 159 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
and they were against the daily sacrifice and the sanctuary
was polluted. Then Daniel saw an angel ask another angel
how long it will be that the sanctuary is going to be trodden
under the foot of man. An angel says two thousand and
three hundred days. That’s about six years. And then Christ
returns in power and glory. What does the vile person now
possess that he could use as a threat against the leaders of the
monetary system?”
Landon looked on confidently as he answered, “All
those weapons! Nukes and all the rest.”
< 160 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
“Right!” Lowell answered.
“Ooohhh! That’s why he was so persistent about
attacking the kingdom of the south!” Sarah said.
“Yep! You got it!” Lowell said. “Once he got those
weapons, he’s almost equal in power to the leaders of the
monetary system. Just one big bomb lobbed over to the city
where the main hub is for the monetary system and he could
shut down all the buying and selling around the world!”
Lacey interjected, “Except for the Christians who are
not part of that monetary system.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “Well, sometime over the next
two and a half years—remember Christ returns in about
six years—so sometime over the next two and a half years
is when the fifth trumpet event happens.” Lowell changed
slides. “We learn from Revelation, chapter 9, that the vile
person apparently uses some of the chemical or biological
weapons in his possession and makes people feel like they
have been stung by a scorpion. This is also the time when
the vile person gets the power, seat, and authority of Satan!”
“When does he get the power, seat, and authority of
Satan?” Maria asked.
“He probably gets it when he has captured the sanctuary
of strength. Or maybe Satan gives him that power just prior to
help him accomplish the taking of the sanctuary of strength.
It could also be a month or a year after the vile person has
captured the sanctuary of strength. We don’t know for sure
exactly when but it’s around that time.” Lowell stopped and
thought for a moment. “Think of how powerful Satan is and
< 161 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
he only has a spirit. One can only imagine how powerful and
evil this vile person now becomes.”
“It’s good to know that by this time
most Christians will have moved far
away from the really bad areas and we are
going to be trying to stay as far away as possible from the
eighth king,” Maria said.
Austin then said, “Going back to the attack where he is
using chemical or biological weapons and people feel like
they have been stung by a scorpion. Isn’t that done with
locusts?”
Lowell responded, “In reading the description of the
attack in Revelation chapter 9. It sounds like it could be
drones that look similar to locusts. Because of advancements
in technology, these weapons might not look like anything
we have today.”
Austin added, “And they can’t hurt the hundred and
forty-four thousand right?”
“Yeah, it says those have been sealed,” Lowell answered.
“I’m hoping it will be more than the hundred and forty-four
thousand by that time. John says those affected will want to
< 162 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
die and yet they won’t. It also seems to affect people for five
months! I can’t imagine being in such great agonizing pain
for five months.” Lowell paused and looked at everyone. “I
might be a little overly optimistic about this. However, I’m
hoping the vast majority of Christians will be far away and
out of the reach of this attack.”
“Amen!” Austin said.
Landon and Sarah took a few minutes to serve plates of
nachos to all their friends. As they enjoyed cheesy chips with
sour cream and salsa, the discussion continued.
Lowell went on by saying, “An interesting point about
this attack is that the army is told not to hurt the trees, the
grass, or any green thing, just the people who do not have the
seal of God on their forehead. Logically the reason why the
eighth king doesn’t want to hurt the earth is because he, now
having the power, seat, and authority of Satan, wants to rule
over the earth. Which leads to another thing to ponder on.
Is it possible that over the next couple of decades, medical
advancements could get to a point where people with enough
of the right medical resources, like the eighth king, could be
medically treated to extend their life significantly longer?
Perhaps the eighth king is thinking that he might be able to
live for a hundred and fifty years with hopes of more medical
advancements coming that could then allow him to live
forever. The eighth king could reason that if he could live
forever, why would he need Heavenly Father or Christ?”
“That’s an interesting thought,” Maria said.
Jose said, “Man, that would be dangerous! No
< 163 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
accountability. Wow! That could lead one on a wild, evil
trip!”
“Yeah, the ability to live forever! I could see medical
technology making inroads towards those kinds of
advancements in the coming decades,” Landon said.
“Even though the vile person might be able to live
forever and doesn’t want any green thing destroyed,
Heavenly Father does. His plan is for the earth to be all but
destroyed before Christ comes in power and glory and the
earth is renewed.”
Lacey chuckled and said, “Wow! I didn’t think of that
before! I know I probably shouldn’t laugh but it does seem
kind of strange that the vile person wants to save the earth
and God wants to destroy it!”
Lowell then changed the subject. “So, we talked about
the sanctuary of strength being where they keep the weapons.
Now, let’s take a guess at what the daily sacrifice is that is
associated with the sanctuary of strength. What exactly is the
daily sacrifice that is being referred to?”
Sarah barely beat Landon in speaking up. “Is it the day-
to-day sacrifice the military men and women make in putting
their lives on the line to protect that sanctuary?”
“Yeah! That’s what it seems to be to me,” Lowell said.
“Israel is known for their valiant military protecting their
country. Once that sanctuary is taken over, the daily sacrifice
of those brave Israeli men and women is over.”
Austin then asked while reading from his phone, “Then
what is the abomination that maketh desolate?”
< 164 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
Lowell smiled and said with a chuckle, “The next slide!
…Oops! Before we talk about the abomination, look at what
else happens during the fifth trumpet events. Perhaps at the
very time in which people are suffering for five months with
the agonizing pains as though they have been stung by a
scorpion, another prophetic event during the fifth trumpet
angel could be happening as well. In Revelation, chapter 14,
we read of an angel having the gospel to share with all on
earth that will fly and say with a loud voice, ‘Fear God, and
give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and
the fountains of waters.’”
< 165 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Austin asked, “Is that literal? Will everyone see the
angel and hear that?”
“I don’t know,” Lowell said. “It’s many years away.
Perhaps we will gain more insight over the coming years.”
He then changed the slide. “We have covered the events of
the fifth trumpet angel which are also the prophetic events of
the first woe angel. Now, there are two more to go.”
He changed the slide again and said, “O.K., now we
move into the events of the sixth trumpet angel. Notice all
the prophetic events that happen during that time. We will
start with the abomination that maketh desolate. Austin, any
ideas what that is?”
Austin looked at the slide and asked, “Does it have to
do with the army of two hundred million?”
Lowell asked, “Austin, in your opinion, would an army
of two hundred thousand thousand, which kills one-third of
the population be considered an abomination that maketh
desolate?”
< 166 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
Austin responded, “Oh yeah! Most definitely!”
“O.K., now here is another question. Where does the
eighth king get an army of two hundred thousand thousand?
I don’t expect you to know. It’s an interesting question, isn’t
it?”
Austin replied with a friendly voice, “O.K., Lowell,
spill the beans.”
Lowell smiled and said, “O.K., here ya go.” He took
a couple of steps toward the group. “Around the time that
the eighth king used the biological or chemical weapons
or sometime not long after that, it seems that he caught
the positive attention of some kings. By positive attention,
I mean there were probably many kings who would have
loved to kill him. However, it turns out that ten kings would
also like to help him!”
“Ooohhh! The ten kings!” Austin said.
< 167 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
“Yep!” Lowell said. “The ten kings.” He changed the
slide. “In Revelation, chapter 17, we read about ten kings
who give their power to the eighth king. Couldn’t that mean
that these ten kings give their military power to the eighth
king too?”
“Sure!” Austin said.
Maria asked, “What about the leaders of the monetary
system? Are they part of the kings who like the eighth king
or are they part of the kings who hate him? If they hate him,
can’t they just shut down the money to the eighth king and
the ten kings?”
Lowell answered, “Good questions, Maria. Look at one
of the first things the ten kings do for the eighth king when
they give their power to the eighth king.” He then changed
the slide.
< 168 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
“They destroy the city?” Maria asked with surprise.
“Yes!” Lowell said. “So, what happens when the city
that reigns over the kings of the earth is destroyed?”
Lacey answered, “All buying and selling stops for those
who were using the monetary system.”
Sarah had a look of depression, “Can you imagine all
the people who live paycheck to paycheck who are going to
starve to death within months of that happening?”
Maria added with a very sympathetic voice, “Imagine
the horror the people must feel when the monetary system
around the world suddenly stops! Governments won’t get
their tax revenues, merchants can’t buy or sell, people can’t
buy or sell. People can’t work!”
Lowell added, “John wrote that kings are going to
bewail her and lament her and the merchants are going to
< 169 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
weep and mourn and those on ships are going to cry, weep,
and wail. This is probably going to mean death by starvation
for who knows how many tens of millions of people if not
more.”
Austin noted, “Remember that these people would have
been told not to accept the mark of the beast and these people
belonged to governments that condoned the beheadings of
Christians for not accepting the mark of the beast. They were
warned.”
“You’re right Austin,” Lowell said. “I think there will
be clear warnings given to not accept the mark of the beast
and don’t kill the Christians. John recorded an angel saying,
‘Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and
prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.’ And then in the
last verse of Revelation chapter 18 we read ‘And in her was
found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that
were slain upon the earth.’ So, you’re right. This is payback
time.”
“Praise God!” Austin said. “Justice is served!”
Then Lowell added while looking at everyone, “There’s
a great note of comfort in the sad words ‘And in her was
found the blood of prophets.’ It means there will be prophets
here on earth. Prophets of God are there to lead and guide
people for greater blessings and protection. We are not going
to have to go through this alone. God will provide leaders,
prophets to guide us. That’s awesome!”
“Amen!” Austin said as everyone but Landon nodded
in agreement.
< 170 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
Lowell said, “We’re going to be talking about two
prophets that live up to right about the time of the return
of Christ in just a moment. By the way, from the time the
monetary system is destroyed, it will only be about three and
a half years till the return of Christ. And here is an important
point. John makes it clear that when the ten kings destroy
the city and the monetary system, they are actually fulfilling
the will of God. Those ten kings had given their power to
the eighth king and yet God put it in their hearts to fulfill his
will! Isn’t it interesting that evil people can do some things
that they think is contrary to the will of God and yet it ends
up that they are actually doing the will of God?”
“That is interesting!” Austin replied with a ponderous
look on his face.
Lowell changed the slide and said, “Now notice the
seven vials. These are the seven last plagues. Meaning that
they are the seven last plagues. There can’t be any others
because these are the seven last plagues,” Lowell said with a
< 171 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
smile. “John says the first of the last seven plagues causes a
noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark
of the beast and upon them who worshipped his image. Does
that match up with what happens when the monetary system
is destroyed?”
They all nodded as Sarah said the words out loud, “Oh
yes!”
Lowell continued, “So, knowing that the ten kings
destroy the monetary system and it is part of the will of God,
it’s meant as a plague upon those who accepted the monetary
system. This is good news for Christians because it means
we aren’t being hunted down by those of the monetary
supporters.”
“Hey man, what about the army of two hundred
million?” Austin asked.
“Yeah, that’s what I want to talk about,” Lowell said
as he changed the slide. “We learn from Revelation, chapter
9, that John hears a voice by the altar of God that tells the
angel with the sixth trumpet to loose four angels, which
are prepared to kill one third of the population. Well, those
angels use the army of two hundred thousand to do that. So,
since these four angels are good angels, do you think there is
a chance they will try to protect the good people and just aim
for those who are against the Christians?”
Everyone seemed to agree as Jose answered, “Man,
that’s really good news! I always thought the two hundred
thousand were coming after the Christians.”
“Well think about it…” Lowell reasoned. “The
< 172 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
Christians are going to be as far away as possible. The
monetary system will have been destroyed. With no buying
or selling, there will be massive shortages of fuel and food.
Who knows, electricity and water may be out of service too.
After all there is no way to pay employees. The army of
two hundred thousand could have transportation challenges.
Since they are going to kill one-third of the population in a
very short amount of time, I don’t think that they are going
to be counting people like one, two, kill, one, two, kill, one,
two kill. I think they are going to kill the vast majority of
those they come in contact with. Does that make sense?”
Everyone seemed to agree.
Lowell then added, “Another thing that points to the
Christians being for the most part safe from the attack of
this huge army is what John wrote about the survivors of
this massive attack that is guided by four angels of God. As
I read what John said, see if the survivors sound like good
Christian people to you?” Lowell looked at the verses on
his phone and said, “John wrote: ‘And the rest of the men,
< 173 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of
the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils,
and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither
repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of
their fornication, nor of their thefts.’”
Lowell looked at the group and asked, “Do those
survivors sound like good Christians to you?”
Everyone shook their heads as Maria said, “Those are
wicked people!”
“Yeah, they don’t repent of their murders, sorceries,
and fornications,” Lowell said. “Isn’t it great to know that
the army is not directly going after us?”
“That’s beautiful news!” Maria said. “I can’t tell you
how much better I’m feeling about the future. You have
really given me hope for better days for me and my family.”
Everyone agreed with a nod as Sarah said, “Yeah, I
really have felt that the future was going to be so bad that it
wasn’t worth my time to lift up my head and look into the
future. You have really given me a brighter perspective.”
Lowell said, “I’m excited about the future and I’m
excited that we have the choice to have a better society,
economy, and government now to gear up for the challenges
ahead.”
Jose spoke up, “We’re with you, bro!”
Landon added, “I’ve got your back, Christian!”
Maria said, “We’ve got to make this work!”
Lowell said, “Thanks. We’ve just got to get this
< 174 >
THE EIGHTH KING GETS SATAN’S POWER
information out because no matter how much you and I want
a better life, we only count as one vote each. Plus, we need
the right candidates to vote for.” Lowell stepped closer to the
TV. “We have a lot of work ahead of us.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.

about the two witnesses, the two prophets who
Lstart their ministry about the time that the monetary
system is destroyed. What are these to prophets going to do
during their 1,260-day ministry? Let’s read about it. Austin
