THE OUT RESURRECTION Luke 20:35 (KJV) but they which shall be accounted worthy to
obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage. kat-ax-ee-o'-o; :- (ac-) count worthy. to deem entirely deserving ;Here Jesus is speaking about the
resurrection of righteous out from the unrighteous and sinner.
TWO TYPES OF RESURRECTIONS
John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are
in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
All that have made themselves entirely deserving.
John 5:29b. and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. And all
that haven’t made themselves entirely deserving before their appointed time to die.
THE FIRST RESURRECTION is the RESURRECTION OF LIFE
Rev. 20:5-6 (KJV)
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This is all the saints of all dispensations that have made themselves entirely derserving. The first
resurrection only means the resurrection of life, This is before the second resurrection which is the
resurrection of damnation which will be 1,000 years latter at the great white throne judgment after
the 1,000 year reign of the Messiah “Christ”.
This dosent mean that their will be only one cathing away or Rapture but this is the conclusing of all
that have been caught up.we can read About the order of catching aways or Raptures in the following.
Order of Catching aways-Raptures-or parts of the 1st. Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:22-23 rothrham)
“22 For, just as, in the Adam, all die, so, also, in the Christ, shall all be made alive. 23 But, each, in his own rank:—
A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ’s, in his presence,
1 Cor. 15:22-23 (KJV) For as in Adam all die, even so in Messiah (Christ) shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Messiah (Christ) ,the first fruits; afterward they that are Messiah
(Christ)'s at his coming. [This is showing us that their will be different orders of resurrections each
person in his own order.]
1st. Messiah (Christ) was the first fruit of the dead and then he resurrected Many of the
Old Testament Saints the first fruits, These were the first fruits of the first resurrection / the resurrection
of Life. Ephes. 4:8 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Matthew 27:52-53 (KJV) And the graves
were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of
the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many. [ They came out of their graves after his resurrection. Jesus led captivity captive which means that he
resurrected Many of the Old Testament Saints and then Moved Abrahams bosom to Heaven out of hell.
Then those that have made themselves entirely deserving at the resurrection in the air.
2nd. Part of the first resurrection or the resurrection of Life will be the church
Everyone that will be ready to go in the near future resurrection of the church saints or the second part
of the resurrection of life. Notice that in Rev.5:9-10 that these elders / presbooteros are redeemed out
of every kindred, tongue ,people and nation .This is proof enough that the church has to be in Heaven
for this statement to be true . The Word presbooteros is never used of anyone except man.
Rev. 5:9-11 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Eloheem
(God) by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10And hast made us unto our Eloheem (God) kings and priests: and we shall
reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round
about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
[This is my oppinion I believe that the Angels spoken of in Rev.5:11 are the resurrected
church saints and not real Angels such as the Angel that is speaking to John is a redeemed man in
Rev. 1:1; Rev. 19:9-10; Rev. 22:6-10; which is proven by the statement in
Rev. 22:9-10 (KJV) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are
called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are
the true sayings of Eloheem (God). 10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And
he said unto me,See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, [ soon'-doo-los; a co-slave,
i.e. servitor or ministrant of the same master (human or divine) :- fellowservant. ] and of thy brethren
that have the testimony of Jesus: [ ad-el-fos'; from Greek 1 (a) (as a connective particle)
and delphus (the womb); a brother (literal or figurative) near or remote:- brethren/brother.]worship
Eloheem (God): for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
3rd. part will be the 144,000 Jews in the middle of the tribulation Rev.12 the manchild of the Woman “Israel”
clothed with the Sun;” Rev. 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule
all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Eloheem
(God), and to his throne.which is the Sun of righteousness Yahshuah “Jesus” .
Malachi 4:2 (KJV) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow
up as calves of the stall.
4th.part the tribulation saints along with the two witnesses.
Everyone that dies during the tribulation that is ready to go including the two witness. The resurrection
of the great multitude of tribulation church saints in Rev.7:9 and the two witness in Rev.11:12.
The first resurrection; the resurrection of life This will be on Tishri 10 the Day of Atonement which
will be a Jubilee Year latter that day all Israel will be saved Zech.3:9-10.
Rev. 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled.
This will be finished when the two witness die. (Rev.11:11-12 )They will be the last of the saints to
be slain and then all of the tribulation saints will have been resurrected completing the resurrection of Life.
Rev. 14:13 (KJV) And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in YAHSHUA (the Lord) from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Rev. 7:9 (KJV) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms
in their hands; This chapter (Rev.7 ) is parenthetical meaning it will take place later when
studied out it will take place at the seventh vial same as the two witness.
Rev. 11:11-12 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Eloheem
(God) entered into them, and they stood upon their feet and great fear fell
upon them which saw them.12And they heard a great voice from heaven
saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a
cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Then in Rev.19: 6-9 we have all the saints of all dispensations which complete the resurrection of Life
and who are all part of the first resurrection or the resurrection of Life. These will all have part in the
marriage supper of the Lamb. These saints will all receive a glorified body and this is the fullness of
the Gentiles spoken of in Romans 11:25.]
All that stand in his presence in Heaven.
Rev. 19:6-9 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying,
Alleluia: for YAHSHUA (the Lord) Eloheem (God) omnipotent reigneth.
7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of
the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8And to her was
granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the
fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of Eloheem (God).
This is all the saints of all ages that have been resurrected into the resurrection of Life.
These have made themselves entirely ready and will receive a glorified body.Then after the
marriage supper of the Lamb all the saints will come back to earth with Jesus at the battle
of Armageddon to set up his kingdom here on the earth .This is where Jesus will come in all
his glory and all the armies of Heaven with him. In the Old Testament it is called that day and
the day of YAHWEH (the Lord)That day meaning the seventh day(the seventh Milleniel ) the
day of rest .We have to separate the two comings of YAHSHUA (the Lord) .
1st. The resurrection of the church saints Jesus will meet us in the air.
2nd. The second coming of Jesus to the earth is at the battle Armageddon
-THAT DAY / THE DAY OF YAHSHUA (THE LORD).
Romans 11:25 (KJV) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in.
The fullness of the Gentiles that receive a glorified body ,not a natural body
such as the ones that get saved after the marriage supper of the Lamb.
The seven seals
Each Seal is symbolic of Bondage The Bondservant has to pay the debt to the owner before he is freed.
The Bondservant
is Israel and the “owner” is Satan whom they have sold themselves to.
The Lamb of God has paid the price for all man but Israel has not
accepted it
The doctrine of redemption in the Old Testament is not derived from abstract philosophical thought but from
Hebrew concrete thinking. Religious redemption language grows out of the custom of buying back something
which formerly belonged to the purchaser but for some reason had passed into the ownership
of another. The original owner could regain ownership by paying a redemption price for it.
-
The contents OF Each seal that is opened by Yahshua has to be
-
fulfilled before the next is opened.
-
Rev.6 is a parenthetical chapter meaning that it will begin “ The First Seal “at the first of the tribulation and
-
“The last Seal” will end at the last moment of the tribulation at the battle of Armageddon. The 7th. Seal is silence
-
in Heaven for ½ hour. All of Heaven is waiting for Israel to make Atonement of there sins and except Yahshua
-
as the Messiah and all of Israel will be saved in an instant of time before Armageddon
Zech.3:9-10 At which time Dan 9:24-27 will be completely fulfilled on the Day of Atonement Tishri 10 which
will also be Jubilee Tishri 10 and the Bondservant “Israel” will have freedom. The “bondservant” (δοῦλος), is
one who sells himself into slavery to another. But as this is archaic, few today understand its force. Undoubtedly the
background for the concept of being a Bondservent servant is to be found in the Old Testament scriptures. It was
used of national Israel at times
Isaiah 50:1 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away?
or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and
for your transgressions is your mother put away. Since they sold themselves they had to be redeemed.We have to
ask ourselves what is Redemption? Redemption is the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the
payment of a ransom. The Greek word so rendered is _apolutrosis_, a word occurring nine times in Scripture,
and always with the idea of a ransom or price paid, i.e., redemption by a lutron (see) Mt 20:28 Mr 10:45 There are
instances in the LXX. Version of the Old Testament of the use of _lutron_ in man's relation to man
Le 19:20 25:51 Ex 21:30 Nu 35:31,32 Isa 45:13 Pr 6:35 and in the same sense of man's relation to God
Nu 3:49 18:15 There are many passages in the New Testament which represent Christ's sufferings under the
idea of a ransom or price, and the result thereby secured is a purchase or redemption (comp.)
Ac 20:28 1Co 6:19,20 Ga 3:13 4:4,5 Eph 1:7 Col 1:14 1Ti 2:5,6 Ti 2:14 Heb 9:12 1Pe 1:18,19 Re 5:9
The idea running through all these texts, however various their reference, is that of payment made for our
redemption. The debt against us is not viewed as simply cancelled, but is fully paid. Christ's blood or life,
which he surrendered for them, is the "ransom" by which the deliverance of his people from the servitude
of sin and from its penal consequences is secured. It is the plain doctrine of Scripture that "Christ saves us
neither by the mere exercise of power, nor by his doctrine, nor by his example, nor by the moral influence which
he exerted, nor by any subjective influence on his people, whether natural or mystical, but as a satisfaction to
divine justice, as an expiation for sin, and as a ransom from the curse and authority of the law, thus reconciling
us to God by making it consistent with his perfection to exercise mercy toward sinners.
Redeeming Hebrew Servants,
The Hebrew servant was limited by law to serve for six years. He was to be released after that, unless he gave
voluntary service beyond that time (Exodus 21:1-6). Serving "unto the year of jubilee" in Leviticus 25:40 then,
implies it was the last six years before jubilee. If not, it must be understood that any Hebrew selling himself for
a longer period of time did so voluntarily, just as one would become a lifetime slave according to Exodus 21:1-6.
Isaiah 4:4 (KJV) When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning
. baw-ar'; a primitive root; to kindle, i.e. consume (by fire . [ 1/3rd. will make it through the fire.
Zech. 13:9 (KJV) And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and
will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and
they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Isaiah 1:27 (KJV) Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Israel will be redeemed by judgment paticulary the 7 seals.
-
If a Hebrew sold himself for a debt to a rich Gentile in Israel, he could be redeemed anytime by any near
-
kinsman or by himself when he was able (Leviticus 25:47-49).
Isaiah 50:1 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put
away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold
yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Even the Jew can be grafted back in but he will have to go through the redeemer Yahshua.He can be redeemed
at any time because Yahshuah has already paid the price.
3. The redemption price was reckoned by the number of years the Hebrew had already served and the number of
years he was yet to serve, according to a yearly servant's wage (Leviticus 25:48-53).
4. If the slave who sold himself for a debt for longer than six years was not redeemed by any of the above means,
he was to continue until the year of jubilee and then be set free from further obligation to his debt (Leviticus 25:54-55).
Leviticus 25:55
The Jews that aren’t redeemed by the end of the 6th. Year of tribulation will be redeemed on the 7th.yr on Yown Kippur
“Jubilee”. [The Messiah alone has power to redeem and deliver (Isaiah 50:2-3)]. Isa.50:6] I gave my back to the
smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
[Yahshua is the one that paid the price for them.]
Rev. 5:9 (KJV) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation; The word tells us in Isa.63:1-19 That the Messiah will come and redeem Israel
( gaw-al'; a primitive root, to redeem (according to the Oriental law of kinship), i.e. to be the next of kin
(and as such to buy back a relative's property, marry his widow, etc.) :- × in any wise, × at all, avenger, deliver,
(do, perform the part of near, next) kinsfolk (-man), purchase, ransom, redeem (-er), revenger.) This is only
done on the year of Jubilee/ Yown Kippur.Tishri 10 and will be done at Armageddon
Isaiah 63:1-4 (KJV) Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious
in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3I have
trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger,
and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my
raiment. 4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
The day of vengeance here and in Isaiah 34:8; Isaiah 35:4; Isaiah 59:17; Isaiah 61:2; Jeremiah 51:6;
2 Thes. 1:8 refers to Armageddon (Isaiah 63:1-6; Ezekiel 38:39; Joel 2-3; Zech. 14; 2 Thes. 1:7-10;
Jude 1:14-15; Rev. 19:11-21).
Such will be necessary in order for the year of My redeemed to come, as stated here-the year of the
full restoration of Israel to God Dan 9:24 and their deliverance from their enemies (Romans 11:25-29).
Leviticus 25:9-10 (KJV) Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of
the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession,
and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Antichrist Begins to War with Egypt Isa.10:24-26 ; Dan 11:42
The word of God tells us in Joel that Yahweh will come to redeem his people on Yowm Kippur the only
day of the Year God commanded a fast and prayer .This is on the last day of the Feast of Trumpets in
which time was set for a time of sanctification to leed up to the Day of Atonement “Yown Kippur”
Joel 2:15-20 (KJV) Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: [16] Gather the people,
sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:
let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. [This will be the time in which the
five foolish virgins are redeemed “See the 10 virgins”] [17] Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to
reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is
their God? [18] Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people. [19] Yea, the Lord will answer
and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith:
and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: [20] But I will remove far off from you the
northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his
hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he
hath done great things.

What is meant by I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the n
cometh when no man can work.
1st. we must understand that their will not be a time in which Eloheem (God) will leave us
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your converwith such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.
oo may; i.e. never Greek 3756 (ou) and Greek 3361 (me); a double negative strengthening the denial; not at all :-
any more, at all, by any (no) means, neither, never, no (at all), in no case (wise), nor ever, not (at all, in any wise).
The Word of Eloheem (God) tells us that man will always have a time to repent of his sins until he has passed on
to the next life. Then if you haven’t repented of all sins and put them under the blood of YahShua (Jesus) then you
will be in Hell/The lake of fire for eternity.
Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the YahWeh (Lord) shall
be saved. What are we suppose to do and say?
Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the YahWeh (Lord) YahShua (Jesus), and shalt
believe in thine heart that Eloheem (God) hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [So by these
scriptures we must understand that Eloheem (God) will never leave us nor forsake us unless we leave him ]
1 John 2:24-25 (KJV) Let that therefore abide in you, [what-that born again experience salvation; ] which ye
have heard from the beginning.[ YahShua (Jesus)] If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. [ If is conditional we have to let it remain in us. No one,
nothing can separate us from Eloheem (God) except ourselves we Asked him to be their and we can reject him and
he will have to leave because he gave us a free will.]
25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. [So this is talking about that born again
experience salvation/eternal life.So we have to let it remain in us to keep it “Amen”.]
2nd. We have to look at the facts of the Word of Eloheem (God) when we ask these questions.
1. Will anyone be saved during the 7 years of tribulation?
YES then who?
All martyred saints. Rev. 6:9-11 (KJV) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the Word of Eloheem (God), and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with
a loud voice, saying, How long, O YahWeh (Lord), holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth? 11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that
they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed
as they were, should be fulfilled.
]
The 144,000 Jews.
Rev. 7:4 (KJV) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and
forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Rev. 12:5 (KJV) And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child
was caught up unto Eloheem (God), and to his throne.
The tribulation saints same as martyred saints.
Rev. 7:14 (KJV) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
So we can see that during the tribulation period they will be many saved. So it is not
night yet at that time John 9:4
3rd. Will their be anyone saved after the tribulation in the 1,000 year reign
of Messiah (Christ)?
YES
The whole nation of Israel will be saved in one day.
Zech. 3:8-10 (KJV) Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they
are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 9For behold the stone that
I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof,
saith the YahWeh (Lord) of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10In that day, saith
the YahWeh (Lord) of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
[In that day is referring to when YahShua (Jesus) comes at the battle of Armageddon and sets up his kingdom
here on earth and reigns for 1,000 years.]
Those that escape the wrath of Eloheem (God) at Armageddon will
preach the Gospel.
Isaiah 66:19 (KJV) And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to
Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame,
neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. [ Those that escape the wrath of
Eloheem (God) at the battle of Armageddon because they haven’t sinned a sin to death such as blaspheming the Holy
Ghost or worshiping the beast in any way. Also they haven’t fought against Israel or Eloheem (God)s saints at the
battle of Armageddon. These were forced to be their but didn’t do anything to deserve eternal death. These will not
only be saved but will preach the gospel to many nations .How many of these armies will escape
Ezekiel 39:2 (KJV) And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
So one sixth will escape the wrath of Eloheem (God).
Zech. 14:16 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against
Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the YahWeh (Lord) of hosts, and to keep the
feast of tabernacles.
[And they will keep the feast of tabernacles and worship Eloheem (God)] So work while is is day( while your alive)
Because night (death)comes and no man can work.
( After you are dead you can no longer work for rewards or work to get your friends and family into the kingdom
of Eloheem (God).)
The end of "the times of the Gentiles"
(Lk. 21:24;"And they shall fall by the edge of the sWord, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" .
What is meant by “the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled”?
This term is used and interpreted wrong by almost everyone. This does not mean that the Gentiles cannot be saved
after their time has been fulfilled, Because we have already seen in our study by the Word of Eloheem (God) that
many will be saved. It only means that the Gentile rule here on earth will be over and Israel with the 144,00 will rule
the whole earth with a rod of Iron.
The fulness of the Gentiles come in.
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so
all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away un
Eloheem (God)liness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As
concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for
the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of Eloheem (God) are without repentance" (Rom. 11:25-29).
What is meant by the fulness of the Gentiles be come in?
The fullness of the Gentile’s that receive YahShua (Jesus) as their YahWeh (Lord) and Saviour before the
marriage supper of the Lamb and receive a glorified body, not just a natural body that can live forever from the
tree of Life during the 1,000 year reign of Messiah (Christ). Everyone that receives YahShua (Jesus) as their
Saviour after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will live here on Earth with their natural body but can live
forever through the 1,000 year reign of Messiah (Christ) as long as they obey the commandments of Eloheem
(God) and take from the tree of life Rev. 2:7 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise
of Eloheem (God). Rev. 22:2 (KJV) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there
the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the
tree were for the healing of the nations. Rev. 22:14 (KJV) Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city [And will go on t
o live through all Eternity as we shall se by the Word of Eloheem (God). ] See - Eternal Generations of natural Peoples
The 1,000 year Reign of Messiah (Christ) “starts on next page”
THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF MESSIAH (CHRIST) AND HIS SAINTS
"And I saw thrones and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that were beheaded for the witness of YahShua (Jesus), and for the Word of Eloheem (God), and which had
not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah (Christ) a thousand years..
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of Eloheem (God) and of Messiah (Christ), and shall reign with him a thousand years"
(Rev. 20:4-6).
This passage shows that the tribulation martyrs will also have a part in the reign of Messiah (Christ) in the
Millennium and forever. If there were no other passage in the Bible to teach the doctrine of the Millennium this
one would be sufficient, for the Word millennium simply means "one thousand years," which term is repeated six
times in the first seven verses of Rev. 20. Before we take up this subject of the Millennium in other Scriptures, let
us note what Rev. 20 says about it.
1. Satan must be bound before the Millennium can begin (Rev. 20:1-10). This certainly implies the fulfillment of
all the events of Rev. 4-19. Therefore, the thousand years cannot come until these things are fulfilled.
2. Satan will be bound during the Millennium (Rev. 20:3).
3. After the binding of Satan, John saw "thrones" and their occupants (Rev. 20:4). The occupants of the thrones
will be the tribulation martyrs. They will reign as kings and priests with Messiah (Christ) as will all other redeemed
heavenly peoples.
4. In Rev. 20:5 John shows that the tribulation martyrs have a part in the first resurrection, which is before the
Millennium and includes all the different companies of redeemed saved and resurrected from Adam to the binding
of Satan. This verse also implies that the tribulation saints will be the last redeemed company resurrected and
translated. This first resurrection ends with the rapture of this company and of the two witnesses. All other
passages on the resurrections in Scripture, except a few on the rapture of the church, speak of the first and
second resurrections as being one, and as occurring at the same time. However, Rev. 20:5 and 1 Cor. 15:20-23,
51-58; Phil. 3:10-14; 1 Thess. 4:13-17; 2 Thess. 2:1, 6-8; 2 Cor. 5:1-6; Eph. 5:26, 27; Heb. 11:35; 1 John 3:13
speak of a resurrection from out of the dead, or the dead and living saints up to the rapture and only those who
get saved and die in the tribulation. In Rev. 20:11-15 the wicked dead, who have no part in the first resurrection
and who will be resurrected after the thousand years, are pictured as standing before the great white throne to
be judged. This will be the second resurrection. It includes all the wicked dead from Adam to the end of the
Millennium.
5. Next, a blessing is pronounced upon all who have part in the first resurrection, for "on such the second death
[the lake of fire, Rev. 2:11; 19:20; 20:10-15; 21:8] hath no power, but they shall be priests of Eloheem (God) and
of Messiah (Christ), and shall reign one thousand years" (Rev. 20:6).
6. "When the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. And shall go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them" against Eloheem (God)
(Rev. 20:7-10).
Then fire will come down out of Heaven to devour his armies, and he himself will be cast into the lake of fire,
where the beast and false prophet are and where they have been for the one thousand years (Rev. 19:20; 20:7-10).
7. Then, the wicked dead will be resurrected and there will be the final judgment, after which the renovation of
the heavens and of the Earth will take place. The result will be a New Heaven, and a New Earth, as pictured in
Rev. 21,22.
Now, in view of these basic facts, we can understand the many other Scriptures which speak of the reign of
the Messiah without distinguishing between His reign during the first thousand years and His reign forever.
In addition to the points above in Rev .20 on the Millennium, the following is a brief study of the subject.
Definition of the Millennium
This dispensation is called Divine Government because Eloheem (God) Himself along with the Son and Holy Spirit
will set up a divine government on Earth over all nations forever. The first thousand years of Eloheem (God)'s reign
is called the Millennium which simply means one thousand years. It is from mille (thousand) and annum (year).
Scripture terms for this Age are:
(1) "The thousand years" reign of Messiah (Christ) (Rev. 20:1-10).
(2) "The dispensation of the fulness of times" (Eph. 1:10).
(3) "The day of the YahWeh (Lord)" (Isa. 2:12; 13:6, 9; 34:8; Ezek. 30:3; Amos 5:18; Joel 2:1;
Zeph. 1:7, 8, 18; 2:2-3; Zech. 14:1-21; Mal. 4; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Thess. 2:1-8; 2 Pet. 3:10).
(4) "That day" (Isa. 2:11; 4:1-6; 19:21; 24:21; 26:1; Ezek. 39:22; 48:35; Hosea 2:18; Joel 3:18;
Zech. 12:8-11; 13:1; 14:1-9; Mal. 3:17).
(5) "The world [age] to come" (Matt. 12:32; Mark 10:30; Luke 20:35; Eph. 1:21; 2:7-14).
(6) "The kingdom of Messiah (Christ) and of Eloheem (God)" (Mark 14:25; Luke 10:11; 22:14-18).
(7) "The kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 3:2; 4:17; 5:3, 10, 19, 20; 7:21; 8:11; 10:7; 13:43; 18:1-4; Luke 19:12-15).
(8) "The kingdom of Eloheem (God)' (Mark 14:25; Luke 10:11; 22:14-18).
(9) "The regeneration" (Matt. 19:28; Eph. 1:10).
(10) "The times of the restitution [restoration] of all things" (Acts 3:20-21).
(11) "The consolation of Israel" (Luke 2:25).
(12) "The redemption of Jerusalem" (Luke 2:38).
NEW LANDS (Rev. 21:1)
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea." Are we to understand that there will be no more water on the Earth after it is renovated? That this is not the thought of this passage is clear from many other passages in the Bible.
The passage merely tells of the great change that will take place in the large oceans on the Earth at the time the Earth
"passed away" or is "changed" from one condition to another as proved in
Psalms 102:24-25. The thought is that the large oceans covering about three-fourths of the Earth will be no more,
having been evaporated by the "fervent heat" when the Earth is renovated.
In other Words, the waters which fell from the heavens and came out of the deep to cover the Earth at the time of
chaos (Gen. 1:2) will again be put back into the heavens and in the deep bowels of the Earth and the Earth will be
renewed to its original state as before the fall of Lucifer, and before the first rebellion of the Earth against Eloheem
(God).[see the World that then was ]
There will be an abundance of rivers, lakes, and small seas on the Earth forever as proved by the following:
l. Seas and isles are definitely mentioned in the eternal reign of the Messiah (Ps. 72:8-10, 17; 97:1-6; Isa. 42:4,
10-12; 66:19-21; Zech. 9:10; Ezek. 47:1-23).
2. Rivers are also mentioned (Ezek. 47:1-12, 18-20; Zech. 9:10; 14:8; Rev. 22:1-3).
3. Some seas were originally created with the Earth to be eternal and will last as long as Israel, the sun, moon,
and the Earth itself (Jer. 5:22; 31:35, 36; Ps. 146:6; Prov. 8:29; Acts 4:24; 14:15; Rev. 14:7).
4. An abundance of water on the Earth will be necessary to fulfill prophecies speaking of fruitful seasons and
waters springing up in the desert (Gen. 8:22; Isa. 35; Amos 5:8; 9:6; Job 38:4-16, 22-30; Ps. 104:5-14, 24-28).
This evaporation of the large oceans will mean that millions of square miles of land will be reclaimed and made
habitable for coming generations of natural people.
THE NEW JERUSALEM (Rev. 21:2-22:4)
The next thing that John saw in his vision of the New Heaven and the Nest Earth was the Holy City, New Jerusalem,
coming down from Eloheem (God) out of Heaven to an eternal site on the New Earth. The following is an outline study
of the city, its names, age, source, preparation, location, measurements, outward appearance, materials, walls,
foundations, buildings, lighting and water system, traffic, restrictions, food, inhabitants, and rulers.
1. The Names of the City (Rev. 3:12; 21:2; 9-10; John 14:1-3; Heb. 12:22-23). There are many names for the
city and they are all significant and express various ideas concerning the capital of the universe. These names are
as follows:
(1) The New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12; 21:2). The Word "New" simply means that the city is kept fresh, clean, pure,
and new in appearance by the presence of Eloheem (God).
(2) The Holy City (Rev. 21:2; 22:19). The Word "Holy" simply means that it is a pure, clean, and a holy city
consecrated to the holiness of Eloheem (God) and all social systems in the universe.
(3) The Bride the Lamb's Wife (Rev. 21:2, 19-20). It is called this because the city will be the eternal home of all the
redeemed where they will live in eternal union with Eloheem (God), Messiah (Christ), the Holy Spirit, and faithful
angels. The redeemed inhabitants have been purchased by the blood of Messiah (Christ). They will become inhabitants
of that city through His redemption. All the redeemed are united to Messiah (Christ) and therefore are spoken of even
now as married to Him, as we shall see in the next lesson.
(4) The Tabernacle of Eloheem (God) (Rev. 13:6; 15:5; 21:3). The city is called by this name because it is the
place of Eloheem (God)'s throne and where He personally lives and reigns
(5) The Great City (Rev. 21:10). It is called by this name because it is the largest, the most magnificent, and
wonderful city in the whole of creation. It is great because it is the universal capital of the Great Eloheem (God).
(6) The Holy Jerusalem (Rev. 21:10). This name pictures again the absolute purity and holiness of the city of
Eloheem (God).
(7) The Heavenly Jerusalem (Heb. 12:22-23). This name simply portrays the fact that the city is in Heaven;
that is, it is an heavenly city and not an earthly one. There is an heavenly city called Jerusalem and there is an
earthly city also by that name. The earthly Jerusalem will be the headquarters of Messiah (Christ) and His reign
on the Earth and the seat of the world government and the heavenly Jerusalem is the capital of the whole universe.
Paul speaks of the Jerusalem that is above as being free and the mother of us all; that is, we are all born again
by Eloheem (God) who lives and reigns in the Heavenly Jerusalem (Gal. 4:19-31).
(8) The City of the Loving Eloheem (God) (Heb. 12:22-23). This expresses the truth that the New Jerusalem
belongs to Eloheem (God), the Living Eloheem (God), and that He owns it as well as all other parts of the vast
creations.
(9) My Father's House (John 14:1-3). Here the New Jerusalem is called by YahShua (Jesus), "my Father's house."
He speaks of it as containing many mansions. Not only are there many mansions, but there are streets, fountains of
water, rivers, furniture and other material things that make the city a real place for people to live, as much as any
city on the Earth.
Some Bible students argue that there is no real city with mansions in Heaven. They say that the saints are the mansions
referred to by YahShua (Jesus). They cannot seem to be able to believe in a real material city with streets, homes,
fountains, and other things that make real living for the heavenly inhabitants. The Bible is clear on the subject, but
if men do not want to believe what it says they will have to remain in ignorance. If men choose to be ignorant on any
Bible question, they will simply have to remain ignorant (1 Cor. 14:38).
Heaven is a real place, a real country, a real planet, and a material land just like the Earth. We have listed previously
in this lesson many real and material things in Heaven. Nearly all of Rev. 21-22 picture the reality of Heaven and the
New Jerusalem and many things therein.
Someone said a few years ago a brilliant young preacher who was destined to make a mark for Eloheem (God) in the
world. He was climbing high in religious circles of a certain denomination. The only fault that was apparent was that
he became too worldly smart to believe the simple and literal statements of Scripture.
He began to reason that the Bible was a spiritual, heavenly, and symbolic book. One time in an argument with Him
concerning the New Jerusalem and the mansions in Heaven he contended that the mansions were the saints and that
the city was symbolic of the church.
It was impossible to reason with him because there were no common grounds of reasoning. When one man believes
the simplicity of the Bible and another rejects everything the Bible says as being literally true, there can be no common
grounds for agreement between the two.
This young man went East and made a great success in the church world due to the fact that most church members
have been taught that the more mysterious and spiritualized the Bible can be made the more receptive they should be to
such teachings.
One day I picked up a religious paper that announced the death of this young man. His wife told how that on his death
bed he saw the most beautiful city that he was going into. He described the city in detail. I said to my wife, "It is too
bad that men have to die before they get sense enough to believe the Bible." This young minister became a believer
in the literalness of the Bible in his dying hours when he could have believed it all of his life and could have been a
greater blessing to others.
It is most ridiculous to argue that the saints are the mansions that YahShua (Jesus) spoke about. Let us read
John 14:1-3 in the manner that this young man and many other teachers would have us believe: "In my Father's
house [the Father Himself] are many mansions [saints]: if it were not so, I would have told you [mansions]. I go
to prepare a place [saints] for you [mansions]. And if I go and prepare a place [saints] for you [mansions], I will
come again, and receive you [mansions] unto myself; that where I am, there ye [mansions] may be also." Does this
make good sense? Certainly not!
It would be just as foolish for us to make the New Jerusalem a symbol of the church. Suppose we read everything
pictured in Rev. 21-22 as symbolic of the church. One can see for himself how utterly foolish such a passage would be.
What could walls, gates, foundations, streets, a river, trees of life, and the many details of the city symbolize about the
church? One might as well throw the Bible away and give up all hope of having any understanding of it if he is going
to do away with the plain, literal, sane, and simple understanding of what is plainly written in it. A Eloheem (God)
that could not make Himself clear in human language so that we can believe what He says would be no Eloheem
(God) at all.
One cannot retain this perverted concept of Eloheem (God) and the Bible and still claim a clear understanding of truth.
On the other hand, how literally clear is everything in Scripture if we understand what is written in the same sense
that we would if we found it in another book! The description of the city, the New Jerusalem, is too detailed to
spiritualize it and do away with the literal meaning of a real city, so let us be sensible and take the Bible as it was
intended to be read. If it says there is a real city in Heaven let us believe that Eloheem (God) knows what He is
talking about. He should know whether there is a city or not since He made all things and since He lives in Heaven.
If we cannot believe what He says on this question we cannot believe Him on other questions and the rejection of
any one thing that Eloheem (God) says is to make Him a liar and unreliable in what He says on other questions.
2. The Source and Origin of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12; 21:2, 10; John 14:1-3; Gal. 4:26; Heb. 9:11; 11:10-16; 12:22).
These passages speak of Eloheem (God) being the Architect, Builder, and Owner of the Holy City, of the city being
now in Heaven and that it will be moved from Heaven to the Earth after the Millennium, and of the city being
prepared as the home of the redeemed of all ages. The city had its beginning in the mind of Eloheem (God)
sometime in the dateless past. When it was originally created is not known and all speculation about it is valueless.
We do know that it is a real city, that it was built by Eloheem (God), and that it will always be the capital city of
Eloheem (God).
3. The Preparation of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2; John 14:1-3; Heb. 11:10-16; 13:14).
These passages simply state
that the saints will have a part in the Holy City and that such a place is now being
prepared for them. This fact
alone proves that the saints are not the mansions or the city, as is taught by some. YahShua (Jesus) promised that He was
going away to prepare a place for the saints in His Father's house. Paul stated that all the Old Testament saints and the
present church saints were not that city but that they were looking forward to becoming a part of it
(Heb. 11:8-16; 13:14). This is definite proof that the saints are not the New Jerusalem. They could not
look for the city to become a part of it and still be the city.
4. The Eternal Location of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12; 21:2, 9-10, 24-26; 22:1-5). These passages state that the
Holy City will be transplanted from Heaven to the Earth after the Millennium to be among men forever.
The eternal location will be on the Earth.
The Outward Appearance of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:11). The Holy City is described as being adorned as a
bride for her husband; as having the glory of Eloheem (God), as being like a precious stone, clear as crystal; as
having a jasper wall around the city about 300 feet high; as having twelve large pearl gates on which are written
the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; as having twelve angels at each of the great gates which are not closed day
or night; as being foursquare with three gates on each side, as having twelve foundations and on them the names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb; as being 1500 miles square and 1500 miles high; as having the foundations garnished
with all manner of precious stones; as having streets of gold like transparent glass, and as having rivers, trees,
fountains of waters, and the glory of Eloheem (God) for the light of it. The city itself is pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Thus, from Scripture we can conclude that the city is not a cube for a wall would be of no value around a cube, which
itself would have four sides 1,500 hundred miles high.
From all the statements in Scripture it is clear that the city is a series of mountain peaks, beginning inside the walls as
low foothills and increasing in height until the highest peak is 1500 miles high. On the highest part is built the heavenly
tabernacle or capital building where Eloheem (God) sits as the Supreme Moral Governor of the Universe. It was after
the patterns of this tabernacle that Moses made his earthly tabernacle (Heb. 8:5; 9:23). On the mountains and in the
valleys are built the many mansions of John 14:1-3. There are living fountains of waters springing up through the city
and rivers of water, clear as crystal (4).The floor of the throne room itself is like a sea of glass, clear as crystal, and
of unknown dimensions, but it is very large or it could not contain upon it at one time the innumerable company of
tribulation saints, as pictured in Rev. 7:9-17; 15:2-4.
There is an immense banquet hall where the marriage supper of the Lamb and other large banquets will be held
throughout eternity.These facts, with those in Lesson Forty-Two concerning Heaven, prove that Heaven is a real
planet and the New Jerusalem a real city. The greatness and grandeur of Heaven and the capital city of the universe
cannot be fully comprehended, but sufficient facts are given in Scripture to enable all men to understand that there
is to be a real life in the most perfect environment possible for all those who will love Eloheem (God) and conform to
His plan in this life.
6. The Walls, Gates, and Foundations of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:12-14; Heb. 11:10-26). The walls are 144 cubits
high or about 300 feet if we take a cubit to be 25 inches. The gates are solid pearls and the foundations are garnished
with the most precious stones in creation. The city must rest on the ground for there would be no need of foundations
for a city suspended in the air. The gates are open day and night to permit the people of the nations on Earth to traffic
in the city (Rev. 21:23-27).
7. The Measurements of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:15-17). The city is l,500 miles square and 1,500 miles high with a
wall 300 feet high all around the city. The city lies foursquare at the base and towers like a series of mountain peaks, as
explained above. The New Jerusalem site in Heaven is called Mount Zion in Heb. 12:22-23; Rev. 14:1. This evidently
refers to the highest mountain peak of the city on which the capitol building is located.
8. The materials of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:10-21). The materials of the city are gold and precious stones of
various kinds.
9. The Age of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2). It is called "new" (Greek, kainos, new in
freshness and character;
not neos, new in age) for it is kept new and fresh by the very presence of Eloheem (God). The actual age of the city is
unknown. It might have been created with the Heaven and the Earth. It has been the location of Eloheem (God)'s throne
ever since Heaven was created (Ps. 11:4; 93:2; 103:19; Isa. 6:1; 14:12-14; 66:1;
Rev. 4:2-10; 5:1-13; 7:9-17; 8:3; 22:1-3).
It was in existence when man was created, for all saints from the time of Abel have looked for it (Heb. 11:8-16; 13:14).
10. The Streets of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:21). The singular number in this passage
does not mean that there is
only one street in the city any more than the same statement does in Rev. 11:8. There are at least twelve great
broadways in the city for there are twelve great gates to the city and men traffic through these gates into the city.
John is describing only one of the streets so we can understand what all the rest are like. They are all made of pure
gold, transparent and clear as glass.
11. The Buildings of the New Jerusalem? (John 14:1-3; Rev. 3:12; 7:15; 11:19; 14:15, 17; 15:1-8; 16:1, 17).
John's statement in Rev. 21:22, "I saw no temple therein: for the YahWeh (Lord) Eloheem (God) Almighty and the
Lamb are the temple of it" could not possibly mean that there will be no literal temple in the New Jerusalem, for
there is one as proved in the above passages. The idea is that no material temple or shrine will be in the city as an
object of worship, or a place for people to make pilgrimages to, or worship in, but all people will worship Eloheem
(God) and the Lamb in Spirit and in truth as the true sanctuary and objects of worship.
12. The Light of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:23, 25; 22:5). The light of the city will surpass the light of the sun, moon,
and stars. We have seen that the light of the sun and moon will be increased during the Millennium (Isa. 30:26), so if the
glory of Eloheem (God) outshines this new light of the sun and moon it will be wonderful beyond Words. These passages
do not teach that the sun and moon will not shine, but that in this particular city there will be no need for them, for
there will be a greater light—the glory of Eloheem (God). Neither do these passages teach that there will be no sun a
nd moon in the rest of the Earth, for they will shine forever and day and night will not cease on Earth (Gen. 8:22;
Ps. 89:2-3, 29, 35, 37; Jer. 31:35-36). This light of the New Jerusalem will radiate from Eloheem (God)'s throne on the
highest peak of the city—1,500 miles high—and give light to all the city below.
It is beyond the imagination of man to picture how marvelous will be the dazzling light from the glory of Eloheem (God)
shining on this city of transparent gold and decked with all manner of precious stones and pearls. Whether this glory will
be the full brightness that Eloheem (God) lives in now as stated in 1 Tim. 6:16 is not clear, but it will be brighter than
the brightest sunlight possible, as is stated in Rev. 21:23-25.
13. The Water of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1). There will be an abundance of water in the city. Twelve great rivers
running from the great throne of Eloheem (God) 1,500 miles high down to the base of the city and in the middle of the
twelve great broadways into the different parts of the Earth. Besides these rivers there will be an abundance of living
fountains of waters and smaller streams throughout the city. Every mansion no doubt will have its own water system
springing up perpetually. Imagine the beauty of the glory of Eloheem (God) shining on the living fountains and rivers
as pictured in Rev. 7:17; 14:7; 22:1. From the midst of the fountains there will be gorgeous colors in the glory of
Eloheem (God) like rainbows on Earth.
14. The Inhabitants of the New Jerusalem (John 14:1-3; Heb. 11:10-16; 12:22; 13:14; Rev. 3:12; 12:12; 13:5; 21:2-5,
9; 22:3-4). It can be seen from these passages that Eloheem (God), Messiah (Christ), the Holy Spirit, angels, redeemed
glorified saints, seraphim, cherubim, and other heavenly folk will inhabit the city. Earthly and natural people will not
live in the city. They will merely traffic in the city as we shall see below. The city is called "the bride, the Lamb's wife,
" for it is "prepared" for the glorified saints and the faithful angels as an eternal home.
15. The Traffic in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:24-27). Natural people of the
nations who live through the Millennium and who do not rebel with Satan against Eloheem (God) at the end of the
Millennium will be permitted to enter the New Earth to plant, harvest, build, multiply and replenish the Earth as
Adam and his seed would have done if they had not fallen. These people will traffic in the New Jerusalem and walk in
its light and their kings will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it forever.
16. The Food of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 2:7, 17; 19:1-10; 22:2; Ps. 78:25; Luke 22:15-18, 28-30). These passages teach
that even glorified saints will eat in the next life. The overcomer is promised "the tree of life," "the hidden manna,"
"the fruit of the vine" and "the Passover" lamb in the next life. The inhabitants of the New Jerusalem will "eat and
drink" at Messiah (Christ)'s table in His kingdom and enjoy foods that they have never enjoyed in this world. There
will be rows of trees of life 1,500 miles long on both sides of the twelve great rivers of water running through the
middle of the twelve great broadways. The trees of life bear twelve kinds of fruit and the leaves of the trees will be
for the preservation of natural life for the peoples of the natural nations throughout all the eternal generations to come.
Besides this, there will be an abundance of fruit from the different fruit trees throughout the Earth (Ezek. 47:1-12).
17. Restrictions of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:27; 22:14-15). No dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters,
liars, or any thing that defileth will ever enter into the city, but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life, those
who enter the New Earth from the Millennial Age, and those that will be born in all eternity.
18. Rulers of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:3-5). The Great Eloheem (God), His Son, and the Spirit will rule from this
city over all the universe and the free moral agents therein.
THE NEW PEOPLES (Rev. 21:3-4, 24-26)
The following arguments prove that there will be natural men on this Earth forever and that all natural life will continue
in all eternity as Eloheem (God) intended when He created such life on the Earth:
1. In Isa. 66:22-24 Eloheem (God) assures Israel that they shall be an earthly people forever. "For as the new heavens
and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the YahWeh (Lord), so shall your seed and your name
remain." The Hebrew Word for "seed" is Zera, meaning seed, fruit, plant or posterity. It is used 273 times in the
Old Testament and in every case it means natural seed, whether seed sown in the ground or the natural seed of man
(Isa. 59:21).
2. The phrase "all flesh" in Isa. 66:22-24 further proves that natural men will continue in the New Earth and will come
to worship Eloheem (God) in the new moons and sabbaths. The Hebrew for flesh is basar, meaning flesh, skin,
nakedness or body. It is used 252 times and always means natural flesh or animal life.
3. In Rev. 21:3-4, 24-26 the men and nations mentioned are natural peoples for the tabernacle of Eloheem (God) comes
down to dwell among men and Eloheem (God) shall wipe away all tears, etc. Such could not be true if these men were
the glorified saints, for Eloheem (God) has been dwelling among them for 1,000 years already and He has wiped away
all tears from their eyes 1,000 years before these Scriptures are fulfilled.
4. The Earth was created to be inhabited by natural beings and natural man was promised the Earth as an eternal
inheritance from the very beginning (Ex 32:13; Ps. 25:13; 37:9-11, 22, 29, 34; 69:36; 82:8; Isa. 60:21; Matt. 5:5; 25:34).
These passages were spoken to earthly people and will be fulfilled when earthly people inherit the Earth after the
Millennium. Glorified saints will reign as kings and priests under Messiah (Christ) over these earthly peoples forever
(Dan. 7:13-14, 18-27; Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 1:32-35; 1 Cor. 6:2; Rev. 5:9-10, 11:15; 20:4-10).People who live on Earth
during the Millennium will not be glorified and enter into the same privileges as the saints who have part in the first
resurrection and who were glorified before the Millennium, for if the earthly people were glorified, then who would
be the subjects of the eternal kingdom that Messiah (Christ) and the pre-millennial glorified saints reign over?
Who would marry and reproduce the natural generations of men on the eternal Earth, as required in Point 6 below?
1. Eloheem (God) created man to live forever in the natural body, as is clear from the
fact that man would have lived a natural life forever if he had not sinned and fallen short of the glory of Eloheem (God).
The penalty for man's sin was death—physical, spiritual and eternal death. However, the fall of man did not cause
Eloheem (God) to change His original and eternal plan for man on the Earth. Eloheem (God) cannot in the end suffer
a defeat, so He turned man's fall into a blessing by His plan to gather out of the race during the period of the fall an
heavenly people to reign over the natural people who will be redeemed from the fall, and all its effects, after the Millennium.
The fall of man simply delayed the original purpose of Eloheem (God), but because of the delay Eloheem (God) gained
more than He would have gained otherwise.
As it is now, Eloheem (God) will have an heavenly resurrected and glorified people who will reign over the coming
generations of natural people. If the fall had not come all men would have continued as natural people forever and
there would have been no class of glorified saints from the human race to help Eloheem (God) administer the affairs
of the universe forever. After the Millennium, natural man will be fully redeemed and will live on the New Earth just
as Adam did before the fall, to carry out Eloheem (God)'s original purpose of replenishing the Earth with natural people
(Gen. 1:27-31; 9:12; Isa. 45:18).
6. The Bible plainly declares there will be eternal generations of natural peoples (Gen. 9:12; 13:15; 17:7-8, 19;
Ex. 3:15; 12:14, 42; 27:21; 30:8, 21; 31:16; 40:15; Lev. 3:17; 6:18; 10:9; 17:7; 23:14, 21, 31, 41; 24:3; 25:30;
Num. 10:8; 15:15; 18:23; Deut. 5:29; 12:28; 28:46; 29:29; 2 Sam. 7:24-29; 1 Chron. 23:25; Ps. 12:7; 45:17; 72:5;
79:13; 89:4; 100:5; 102:12, 24; 106:31; 119:90; 135:13; 145:13; 146:10; Isa. 9:6-7; 51:8; 59:21; Jer. 31:35-36; 32:
38-40; Ezek. 37:24-28; Lam. 5:19; Dan. 2:44-45; 4:3, 34; 7:13-18; Joel 3:20; Luke 1:32-35, 55; Rev. 5:10; 11:15).
We will quote a few of the above passages, all of which were uttered by Eloheem (God), thus proving that Eloheem
(God) Himself says that there will be eternal generations of natural people on the Earth, as would have been the case,
if man had not fallen."And Eloheem (God) said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and
you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations" (Gen. 9:12).
"For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.... "And I will establish my covenant
between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a Eloheem (God)
unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.... And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou
art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Eloheem (God)"
(Gen. 13:15; 17:7-8).
"Observe and hear all these Words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children
after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the YahWeh (Lord) thy Eloheem
(God)" (Deut. 12:28).
"For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, YahWeh (Lord),
art become their Eloheem (God).... And now, O YahWeh (Lord) Eloheem (God), the Word that thou hast spoken
concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said....
Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou,
O YahWeh (Lord) Eloheem (God), hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant b. blessed for
ever" (2 Sam. 7:24, 25, 29).
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders: and his name
shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty Eloheem (God), The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace....
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the YahWeh
(Lord) of hosts will perform this" (Isa. 9:6,7).
"As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the YahWeh (Lord); My spirit that is upon they and my Words
which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth
of thy seed's seed, saith the YahWeh (Lord), from henceforth and for ever" (Isa. 59:21).
"Thus saith the YahWeh (Lord), which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the
stars for a light by night which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The YahWeh (Lord) of hosts is his name; . . .
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the YahWeh (Lord), then the seed of Israel also shall cease from
being a nation before me for ever" (Jer. 31:35-36).
"And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, N herein your fathers have dwelt; and they
shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be
their prince for ever.... Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with
them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and avid set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore....
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Eloheem (God), and they shall be my people....
And the heathen shall know that I the YahWeh (Lord) do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst
of them for evermore" (Ezek. 37:25-28).
"And in the days of these kings shall the Eloheem (God) of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall stand for ever.... Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it
brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Eloheem (God) hath made known to the
king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure" (Dan. 2:44, 45).
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the
Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.... And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a
kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which
shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.... But the saints of the most High shall take
the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever" (Dan. 7:13, 14, 18).
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the YahWeh (Lord) Eloheem (God) shall give
unto him the throne of his father David: . . . And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of has kingdom
there shall be no end" (Luke 1:32, 33).
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are
become the kingdoms of our YahWeh (Lord), and of his Messiah (Christ); and he shall reign for ever and ever . . .
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the YahWeh (Lord) Eloheem
(God) giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 11:15; 22:5).
NEW CONDITIONS IN THE NEW EARTH (Rev. 21:3-8)
The wonderful conditions of the millennial kingdom will be carried on into the New Earth. All rebels will be confined
to the lake of fire. Death, sin, sorrow, sickness and everything that entered the world through the curse will be removed
(Rom. 8:18-25, Heb. 12:25-28, 1 Cor. 15:24-28). Eloheem (God), the Father, Himself comes down with the
New Jerusalem to be with men after the Millennium in the final fulfillment of Emmanuel, Eloheem (God) with us"
(Ps. 68:16-18; Isa. 7:14; Zech. 2:10-11; 8:3; Matt. 1:23; Rev. 21:3; 22:5). Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things and conditions that will be in the new eternal perfect state—where
Eloheem (God) is all and in all as before rebellion started in the universe.
Eloheem (God) will change the earth from one condition to another .Psa.102:25-26 ; Heb.1:10-12.
Everything that can be shaken will be destroyed and everything that can’t be
Shaken will remain that is everything that is pure will remain.
This will include the person that has kept themselves holy before the YahWeh (Lord).
This will include trees, grass , flowers and animals.
This is anything that is without any form of unrighteousness no matter what it is.
Psalm 102:25-26 (KJV) Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26They
shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall
be changed: Hebrews 1:10-12 (KJV) And, Thou, YahWeh (Lord), in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and
the heavens are the works of thine hands: 11They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
We conclude, therefore, that the New Heaven and New Earth will be merely the continuation of the old ones in a new
state, that the wonderful and perfect eternal conditions will be the same as was in the mind of Eloheem (God) in the
creation of the Heaven and Earth, and that the new peoples will be the descendants of Adam and Eve who will be
redeemed and brought back into a sinless state as before the fall to replenish the Earth and carry out Eloheem
(God)'s original plan concerning man and the universe (Eph. 3:9-11).
Behold I make all things New Rev.21:5
This statement says that Eloheem (God) will make all things new. The Greek, kainos, in this passage means renewed,
not new in existence as would have been if the Greek naos had been used. The book of Revelation unveils events that
are being fulfilled and will be fulfilled even to the time of the new eternal perfect state. We see the course of the church
and
its translation, the great tribulation and its judgments, then the thousand years reign of Messiah (Christ) and the saints
on the Earth, Satan's last stand, and the great judgment of the wicked of all ages at the end of the Millennium. Last of
all we see the New Heaven and New Earth and the eternal perfect state with all things made new, and the eternal plan
of Eloheem (God) completed. The voice from the throne which said,
THE FULL RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS (Acts 3:21)
The Bible does not mean by the "restitution of all things" that the devil, fallen angels, demons, and wicked men will finally be
redeemed. The expression refers to the restoration ministry of the Messiah during the Millennium when Eloheem (God) will use
Him to gather together "all things" which are in Heaven and which are on Earth (Eph. 1:10). This restoration has been "Spoken
by the mouths of all his holy prophets since the world began (Acts 3:21). Many of these prophecies of full restoration of the
"whole creation" are recorded in the many passages of these last four Lessons. No prophet ever spoke of the conversion and
restoration of the rebel spirits or wicked dead men. No such hope is ever held out to such beings in either Testament. In fact,
just the opposite is taught in Scripture, as is clear from Ps. 9:17; Isaiah 24:21, 66:24; Dan. 12:2; Matt. 5:29-30; 10:28;
13:42, 50; 18:8; 24:51; 25:30, 41, 46; Mark 9:43-48; John 3:36; 5:28-29; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; Heb. 2:3; 6:2; 10:26-29;
Jude 7; Rev. 14:9-11; 19:20; 20:10-15.
All the wicked dead will have had their chance to be reconciled to Eloheem (God) during their lifetime. Salvation has been
provided for all, but it benefits only those who will accept and call upon Eloheem (God) for mercy.
Those who will not become reconciled to Eloheem (God) during their lifetime will never have a second chance but will
remain dead until the resurrection of all the wicked at the end of the Millennium. They will then be raised and judged
for their sins and will be cast into the lake of fire, according to the passages in the last paragraph above.
The rest of the creation of free wills and all the material creation, including the animals, will be fully restored to the
original perfect state as before the fall. This perfect state will be the final fulfillment of what Eloheem (God) had in
mind before the creation of all things. Therefore, the final restitution of all things simply means that Eloheem (God) will
redeem and restore the whole creation as it was before the fall. It means that Eloheem (God)'s original program will be
finally realized with all free moral agents who will conform to His will and that all creatures and the Earth itself will be
made perfect again as before the present curse.
ETERNITY MERELY THE CONTINUATION OF TIME
The common conception is that at a certain point time ceases to be and eternity begins. But the fact is that we are now
in eternity, for eternity is the extension of time forever. There never will be a time when there will be no time. The Word
time means infinite duration, or its measure into distinct parts, a definite portion of duration.
The Word eternity means infinite duration, or time, continuing without end. Time is commonly contrasted with eternity.
Such contrasts may be true as far as things which have a beginning are concerned, but such could not be true of things
that have no ending.
The heavens and Earth and all things therein as originally created are eternal.
Since the creation of these things, eternity has been broken up into times and seasons, days and nights, months and years
and ages and periods, and Eloheem (God) always recognizes this in His Word. Men generally think of eternity as
beginning with the next life or with the New Heaven and New Earth, but this is not true. When men enter the next life
and the heavens and the Earth are made new, there is no change made in time or eternity, for they remain the same
forever.
The change is made in men and in the heavens and Earth in that they enter into a new state which is eternal and
unchangeable. The Bible teaches that times and seasons, days and nights and summers and winters shall not cease,
for these things are eternally regulated by the sun, moon, and stars, which are eternal (Gen. 1:14-18; 8:22; Ps. 89:29,
35-38; Jer. 31:35-36; Rev. 4:8; 7:15; 14:11; 20:10).The Bible never teaches that time will cease to be. This error has
been brought about through the mistranslation and misinterpretation of two passages of Scripture. The first passage,
Rev. 10:6, instead of reading "time should be no longer" should read "delay should be no longer." It could not mean
that time will be no longer, for after this the tribulation runs its course for several more years and Messiah (Christ)
comes to the Earth to reign l,000 years before the so-called eternity begins. The second passage, Rev. 21:21, is
misinterpreted to mean that there will be no night in the New Earth, but the passage really refers to the Holy City
itself and not the Earth. There will be no night in the Holy City, but there will be in the rest of the Earth
(Gen. 8:22; Ps. 89:29-37; Jer. 31:35-36; Rev. 4:8; 7:15; 14:11; 20:10).
