Jesus declared war on an ancient enemy at the very beginning of His ministry. He hinted at the identity of this entity through the locations of His baptism, the Transfiguration, and the Olivet Discourse. This enemy was cast down from the mountain of God. He's deceived millions in sacrificing their children on his altars. And he returns from the bottomless pit at the end of the age-a prophecy encoded into the art and architecture of the United States Capitol. This entity may be more dangerous than Satan himself. In The Gates of Hell, husband and wife researchers Derek P. Gilbert and Sharon K. Gilbert, authors of the groundbreaking books Veneration and Giants, Gods & Dragons, have produced more shocking revelations about the spiritual war in which all of us are deployed: ¿ Jesus was baptized in a region believed to be the literal entrance to the underworld. ¿ Jesus declared His divinity in front of the "gates of Hades." ¿ The Transfiguration took place on the "Canaanite Mount Olympus." ¿ Jesus based His ministry at the entrance to the Valley of the Shadow of Death. ¿ This ancient enemy of God may have been the high priest in Eden. ¿ Israel's war with Hamas may have been triggered by this dark entity for control of the Holy Land. ¿ The colors of the Palestinian flag are those of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse-white, red, black, and green. Most shocking of all, the Gilberts reveal the hidden meaning of a painting inside the US Capitol that contains a disturbing secret about the destiny of the USA and a prophecy of a new Golden Age triggered by the return of this entity-the destroyer, Apollyon.
