The Kingdom of Heaven
1. We must first understand what the Kingdom of Heaven is !
The Kingdom of Heaven is the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ on Earth before the New Heavens and New Earth.
· Literally, "kingdom from the heavens." It is headed by Jesus Christ for the purpose of re-establishing the kingdom of God over this rebellious part of God's realm. Only found in Matthew because it is the gospel of Jehovah's King. It is a dispensational term and refers to Messiah's kingdom on earth. Offered by both John and Jesus (Matthew 3:2; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 10:7). Because it was rejected, it was postponed until Christ comes to set up the kingdom (Matthew 11:12,20-24; Matthew 27:22-25; Luke 19:11-27; Acts 1:6-7; Acts 3:19-26). It is now the realm of profession (Matthew 13:11-17,30,38-43,47-50At the end Christ will come and set up a literal earthly kingdom forever (Matthew 25:31-46; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-20:10; Zech. 14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:44-45; Daniel 7:13-27; Luke 1:32-33). During the first 1,000 years of His eternal reign He will put down all rebellion and rid the earth of all rebels. Then God will become "all in all" as before rebellion (Rev. 20:1-10; Rev. 21:1-22:5; 1 Cor. 15:24-28; Ephes. 1:10). Anything said of the kingdom of heaven can also be said of the kingdom of God, because the former is only the earthly dispensational aspect of the latter. There are many things said of the kingdom of God, however, which cannot be said of the kingdom of heaven.
· The kingdom of God The sovereignty of God over the universe and includes the kingdom of heaven. It is used 70 times and the "kingdom of heaven" 33 times. Because the kingdom of heaven is part of the kingdom of God some things could be said of both, but there are other things said of the kingdom of God that could not be spoken of the kingdom of heaven.Eighteen Contrasts Between the Two Kingdoms:Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God

· The Kingdom Heaven is part of the Kingdom of God. But not all that are in the Kingdom of Heaven will be part of the Kingdom of God.
2. The parables tell us who will be part of the Kingdom of Haven. § The first requirement for guaranteed acceptance is repentance and then obedience but tares will also be their but they have no guarantee. Anyone who dies without Jesus will be in Hell during this 1,000 yrs. of the Kingdom of Heaven.The tares that are alive that have not committed a sin unto eternal death that are alive at the 2nd. Coming of Christ at Armageddon will be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. (Matthew 13:3-35), and "again" (Matthew 13:44-52).
Guarantee of Entrance into the Kingdom:1. Obtain like precious faith (2 Peter 1:1).2. Increase in grace and peace (2 Peter 1:2).3. Live a godly life by God's power (2 Peter 1:3; 1 Peter 1:5-13).4. Partake of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).5. Escape the corruption of the world and the lust of the flesh (2 Peter 1:4).6. Add the graces of 2 Peter 1:5-7.7. Let these graces abound (2 Peter 1:8).8. Be fruitful in knowledge (2 Peter 1:8).9. Live free from past sins (2 Peter 1:9).10. Give diligence to make personal calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10).An allusion is made here to Roman generals who were given triumphal parades as a reward for some signal victory or conquest (note, 2 Cor. 2:14).The 1st New Testament prophecy in 2 Peter (2 Peter 1:11, unfulfilled). Next, 2 Peter 1:19. Scripture is clear that Christ's kingdom will be eternal (Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:44-45; Daniel 7:13-14,27; Luke 1:32-33; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 22:4-5). He will reign 1,000 years for the purpose of ridding the earth of all rebellion, and then continue reigning over the restored and perfect earth forever (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Ephes. 1:10; Rev. 5:10; Rev. 20:1-10).
§ Flesh an Blood will be in the Kingdom of Heaven.
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 Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. Those that escape the wrath of God at the battle of 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. These will escape the wrath of God because they havent committed a sin worthy of death and havent come against Gods people. These were forced to be at this battle and didnt come on their own free will. 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:One sixth will escape and these nations will do what?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 Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Ezekiel 43:7 (KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. Matthew 25:34 (KJV) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (The purpose of this judgment is to determine who of the natural peoples shall enter the kingdom (Daniel 7:9-14,22; Rev. 11:15), and to give the meek the earth as promised (Psalm 37:11; Matthew 5:5).For much more- see Eternal generations of Natural people
§ None who have committed a sin unto death will be part of the Kingdom of Heaven.
a. Luke 12:10 (KJV) And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
b. Rev. 14:9-11 (KJV) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, [10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: [11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
§ Resurrected, glorified saints inherit Kingdom of Heaven as well .
Daniel 7:18 (KJV) But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Rev. 1:5-6 (KJV) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, [6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.We will be Kings and Priest during the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven [7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
This is talking to the armies of the nations that will be surrounding Jerusalem when Christ comes (Zech. 14:1-5; Matthew 24:29-31).
Rev. 19:11-14 (KJV) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. [14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.These armies include all the redeemed and resurrected saints of all ages and all the angels of heaven (Rev. 19:14; Matthew 24:29-31; 2 Thes. 2:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Zech. 14:5; Joel 2:1-11).
§ The word tells us of the ones who will be least in the Kingdom of HeavenMatthew 5:19-20 (KJV) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.The ones who have repented of their sins and are obedient that die will be part of the Kingdom of Heaven but they will be the least because of their teachings on once saved always saved and other teachings that allow someone to sin and any that say one will still be ok without repenting.
The ones who are alive at the 2nd. Coming who have taught these lies but have not sinned a sin unto death will part of he Kingdom of Heaven as well but will have to turn fully to the Lord and beginning preaching the truth. see who will and will not be part of the first resurrectionhttp://www.jcfaith.com/groups/?id=358
§ Not all who are or where Christians will have part In the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 7:21-22 (KJV)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
It will be impossible to lie to God so all who have done these had to be born again at one time of their life. Not all person professing faith in Christ and his atoning work will be saved ,and/ or part of the Kingdom after their death "but he that doeth the will of My Father while they are alive " (Matthew 7:21; 1 Peter 4:18; Hebrews 12:14; James 1:19-27; Romans 6:1 6-23; Romans 8:12-13).
Now we see that the Kingdom of Heaven will consist of The resurrected glorified saints and the nation of Israel natural people we can now get a understanding of the 10 virgins. All will be part of the Kingdom of Heaven
The five wise the resurrected glorified saints and the five foolish the nation of Israel natural people. These will receive Yahshua as the Messiah an instant of time before Yahshuas return at Armageddon just after the marriage supper of the Lamb and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven in their natural body ,they will be foolish because they will not receive a glorified one as will the five wise.. The wise where obedient unto Yahweh and where under the re-newed covenant of Jesus/Yahshua. The five foolish let their oil drain out by not receiving Yahshua as the Messiah when he came with the re-newed covenant. see the 10 virgins and the ancient Jewish wedding
http://www.jcfaith.com/groups/?id=358
The Kingdom of Heaven will consist of 5-wise and 5- foolish Virgins
Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV) Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened
unto ten virgins, ( The Kingdom of Heaven will consist of 2 types of man. 1.Glorified saints and 2. Natural saints. This is speaking of all the saints that will take part in the Kingdom; the church saints which are the5 wise and the Nation of Israel which are the 5 foolish 2 Cor. 11:2 (KJV) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.) Isaiah 62:5 (KJV) For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Mt.25:b. which took their lamps,and went forth to meet the bridegroom. A flaming torch or a burning lamp was an emblem of Eloheems (God's) presence. In ancient Israel it was a custom to light a torch when making a covenant or in celebration of a marriage, to symbolize the fire of destruction if the agreement was broken .(symbolic of the 2 covenants and receiving Yahshua as the Messiah) Both will go forth with their covenants.The church will go forth with the new covenant and the Jews will go forth with the old covenant. Mt.25:2And five of them were wise, Proverbs 3:35a The wise shall inherit glory:The five wise will be the Church .This will be the ones that have made themselves ready and received Yahshua / Jesus as the Messiah.. Mt.252b.and five were foolish. Proverbs 3:35 b but shame shall be the promotion of fools. Israel will have to go through a time of shame the Tribulation because of their unbelief. Mt.25:3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ( The lamps are the word of God / Eloheem . The church will take their Lamp the New And Old Testament and the Jews will take their Lamp the Tanak / Old Testament. The oil is the anointing of the Holy Spirit) Psalm 119:105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Proverbs 21:20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.[ How did they spend up their oil? Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of YAHWEH (the Lord) is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [ The foolish virgins spent up their oil by not seeking Godly wisdom and by not Listening to instruction that was given by the five fold ministry and by not asking Eloheem (God) for the true understanding of the Word of Eloheem (God),and the five foolish wouldnt receive Yahshua as the Messiah.. Mt.25:4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Proverbs 21:20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. [The wise here asked for Godly wisdom, listened to the instruction of the five fold ministry and asked Eloheem (God) for the true understating of the Word of Eloheem (God) and woke up.] Mt.25:5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept ][ All ten Virgins slumbered and slept. Both the five of the church and the five of the Nation of Israel. 5 is the number of Grace ; Grace for the Church and Grace for the Nation of Israel We are told to watch (watch means to keep awake) and pray always so that we might be accounted worthy/entirely deserving to stand before the Son of man. Lk.21: 36 All ten virgins fell asleep at one time or another but the five wise woke up and began to obey the Word of Eloheem (God). ]
The word no: in verse 3 means
[both the church and the Jews know it is time for the Messiah to come.The Church knows that the time is at hand YAHSHUA (Jesus) is coming and they will wake up out of their sleep and prepare to meet YAHSHUA .The five foolish virgins of Israel will stay in their diaspersleep for another 7 years after the Resurrection of the Church saints which will be just before the tribulation. Then their eyes be opened ]Mt.25:7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [Here after the church/virgins had been told that the day of YAHSHUA (the Lord) was at hand they began to prepare for his coming. All ten of the virgins heard but the five foolish The Nation of Israel wouldnt receive Yahshua as the Messiah . They still believed only in one God not the Trinity and they trimmed their lamps and lived and obeyed the Torah Old Testament The five foolish Virgins had some oil but not Enough oil to get them to the Bridegroom. They had the Torah and obeyed it but that wasnt enough.They were looking for the Messiah and will be deceived by a false messiah the antichrist and will have to suffer shame. .25:8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. .} The Jews will begin to ask about Christianity. The Church will begin to get Revelation from God and start understanding the Torah and the Feast of Yahweh and this will begin to provoke the Jewish people to Jealously and some will begin to seek after theirKnowledge.Some will understand that Yahshua was the fulfillment of the Passover Feast of Yahweh and will begin to ask questions about their Messiah. The teachings about the fulfillment of the Feast of Yahweh by Yahshua will begin to provoke some of the Jews and they will begin to study like the Berians did.
Rom.11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. see the seed and the Olive Tree The church will begin to understand the Torah and its shadow pictures and this will offend the Jews into bearing more fruit. This time before the Resurrection of the church will begin the time when the 144,000 Jews begin to have their eyes opened. They will be the ones that get offended and begin to study Torah from a new perspective through its shadow pictures and eventually will understand that Yahshua is the Messiah after the Resurrection of the church.These 144,000 Jews are sealed with the seal of God ,this word for seal is from the Hebrew word tm' emet.
t = The word of EloheemGod
m = Has been tested
' = And is found to be Truth emet
The 144,00 will study the way the Berians did and find the truth in the Messiah through the shadow pictures of the Torah etc.
MT..25:9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go yea rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [Proverbs 11:26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.[
Corn is the Word of Eloheem (God) and selling it means that he will pay a price and preach the Word. A wise man will not associate himself in the ways of the foolish or both will wind up in the ditch and this virgin had grown enough to decern this.; But they instructed the five foolish to Buy from those that sell/preach and teach the Word of Eloheem (God that Yahshua is the Messiah.).] Pro. 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.] Mt.25:10And while they went to buy,
[ While they went to hear and learn the teachings about Yahshua through the shadow pictures of the Feast .] Mt.25:10b.The bridegroom came; Yahshua came and they were left here to go thru the Tribulation.] Mt.25:10c.While and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: [ The five wise had made themselves ready by doing all things the Word of Eloheem (God) tells us to do, obey his commandments.
They that had Yahshua in their hearts and obeyed his commandments.These will receive a Glorified body.God dont say that the five foolish will never see the Bridegroom but only that they will not get to go to the Marriage supper of the Lamb.] Mt.25:10d.and then the door was shut. [The door to the marriage supper of the Lamb is Yahshua. ] John 10:9 (KJV) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. [To get a true understanding of this Jewish Idiom the door was shut we have to look at the Feast of the Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah which means the day of concealment. This door being shut is a symbol of the righteous being hid away from the world and from Satan. We need to look at Isaiah 26:19-21 (KJV) Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. [ Here Isaiah is telling us that he will be resurrected at this time with the rest of the righteous. Yahshua or Jesus led captivity captive ;meaning that he delivered the righteous out of Abrahams boosom and moved it to Heaven where it is today and it will be their until the resurrection of the righteous saints. Many of the old Testament saints were resurrected into the resurrection of Life at that time. Matthew 27:52 (KJV) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, Isa.26:19b.Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead [This is speaking of the resurrection of the righteous.]20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. . [ Hebrew Priest and Rabbis for centuries have understood this verse as being the fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah Tishri 1-10 which will be fulfilled on Yown Kippur the Day of Atonement Tishri 10.. The three themes of Rosh Hashanah is 1st. The resurrection of the righteous 2nd. The Kingship of YahWeh or the Lord. And 3rd. The marriage of the King. All three of these take place at and during the time of Jacobs trouble or the 7 years of tribulation and are spoken of in the book of Revelation.The time of the Rosh Hashanah is at the time of the new moon when it is hidden away. ] Psalm 81:3 (KJV) Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. [This is the only feast during in which the moon is hiden away.
The chambers is speaking of the wedding chambers and the door will be shut to hide the bride from Satan and the world for a little moment 7 years until the indignation be overpast or until the nation of Israel stops their rebellion against Yahshua Jesus and has stopped sinning. At that time the whole nation of Israel will be saved in one day an instant before Armageddon then the tribulation will be over Zech.3:9-10/Dan.9:24-27 2Es 7:95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. we can read in Zeph. 2:3 Zeph. 2:3 (KJV) Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. [The righteous will be hid from the wrath/anger of Eloheem Godbehind that door in Heaven]
The door being shut does not mean that their will be no more grace because Many are saved even after the tribulation is over. The door being shut is only for those that dont make the marriage .The door will be shut at the Marriage Supper of the Lord at the end of the tribulation for anyone else to receive a glorified body. After the resurrection of the church saints in the second stage of the resurrection of Life the Lord will give everyone an opportunity for seven years during the tribulation to repent .This is the same meaning as the seven days of Gen.7:4. Genesis 7:4 (KJV) For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
The Apochryphay of Jasher 6:1 At that time, after the death of Methuselah, the Lord said to Noah, Go thou with thy household into the ark; behold I will gather to thee all the animals of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and they shall all come and surround the ark.
The Apochryphay of Jasher 6:10 And all the animals, and beasts, and fowls, were still there, and they surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven days after.
The door being shut has two meanings. 1st.The door being shut after the resurrection of the body of Christ Yahshua Is only to hide the saints from the world and from Satan.The world and Satan cannot come in and the world cannot unless they have a wedding garment on such as the 144,000 Jews and the tribulation saints. Matthew 7:7 (KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
2nd.After the resurrection of the tribulation saints the door will be shut for anyone to receive a glorified body.The marriage supper of the Lamb will conclude this dispensation,the fullness of the Gentiles that come in or the ones that receive a glorified body. The door will be shut at the marriage supper of the Lamb and not until. But by no means will this end Eloheem Gods grace for others because the whole nation of Israel gets born again/saved in one day at the battle of Armageddin which will be on yown Kippur Jubilee which is after the marriage supper of the Lamb. The word dosent say that the 5 foolish Virgins dont get to see the Bridegroom only that they dont get to go to the Marrige Supper of the Lamb.On the otherhand it tells that they will see the bridegroom after the wedding or the Marriage Lk. 12:36 . Mt.25:11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying,YAHSHUA,YAHSHUA,( Lord, Lord,) open to us. These five foolish Virgins will ask Eloheem to open the door Mt.25:12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
John 8:34-35 (KJV) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. [The servent of sin abidith not in; nor anyone who sins without repenting and turning from sin will not have eternal life in Heaven.]Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your Eloheem (God), and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. [Their sins separated them from Eloheem (God).] Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [ They were not entirely deserving all of their sins werent under the blood of the Messiah Yahshua / Jesus. ]
Mt.25:13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
[ Watch/keep awake dont go asleep because we dont know when our time is up or when Jesus is coming back always be ready and your sins covered by the blood.] The five foolish will get to see the King/Messiah but it will be after they have made themselves ready after the wedding or marriage supper Luke 12:36 (KJV) And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. One third of the Jews will make it thru the fire and see the King / Messiah. Every Jew that is alive at that time at Armageddon will receive Yahshua as the Messiah. Zech. 3:9-10. They all will be saved as it is written ;Rom.11:25-28 ; and all will be Holy from the time of Armageddon and forever.All of Dan. 9:24-27 will be fulfilled. Isa.66:8; Psa.14:7 ; Dan.9:24; Zech.14:20-21.
The 5 foolish Virgins Israel is tied to the 7 seals in Rev.6 and the Bondservant whom we will see will be Redeemed after the Marriage supper of the Lamb and they will then see the Bridegroom . Joel 2:16 (KJV) 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. Isaiah 62:5 (KJV) For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Each Seal is symbolic of a Year of Bondage The Bondservant has to pay the debt to the owner before he is freed. The Bondservant is Israel and the owner is the Lamb of God that paid the price for all man. Each seal that is opened by Yahshua covers the span of 1 year and the contents within each particular seal has to be fulfilled the year that it is opened. Each seal is actually opened one per year for 7 years. 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 the Atonement sacf. on the Ark of the covenant 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 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.
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.
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 arent 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 (
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.
When all the signs of Rev.16:8-21 have come to pass Lk.21:28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. When these things come to pass then the Jews should look up because their salvation is at hand to come. The Day of Atonement is here and all Israel will be saved Atonement for their sins. Zech.3:9-10; Isa.66:8;Rom.11:25-28 ; Psa.14:7 ; Dan.9:24
The three themes of Rosh Hashanah Tishri 1-10 is 1st. The resurrection of the righteous 2nd. The Kingship of YahWeh or the Lord. And 3rd. The marriage of the King.
The word of Eloheem God says in Luke 21:36 (KJV) Watch ye therefore, and pray always,that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.[This is talking about the tribulation and EloheemGodswrath on the world.] This is the same meaning as in 2 Esdra 16:74 "Hear, my elect," says the Lord. "Behold, the days of tribulation are at hand, and I will deliver you from them. The Apochryphay of Jasher5: 21 And all the sons of men who knew the Lord, died in that year before the Lord brought evil upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so as not to behold the evil that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as he had so declared to do.
Is.26:21 a For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:[At Armageddon ] the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. We can read about the first and the second resurrection in John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.][ These two resurrections would seem to be at the same time until you study and see that after the first resurrection is completed ;Then the second resurrection will be over 1,000 years later which will be after the 1,000 year reign of Messiah (Christ). The resurrection of Life has and will be over a 2,000 year period from the resurrection of many of the old testament saints to the resurrection of the two witness and the tribulation saints. The first resurrection is the resurrection of Life; Which will include all the righteius; which are!
1. Many of the old testament saints who some have already been resurrected into the resurrection of Life Ephes. 4:8 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.
2. The church saints will be resurrected into the resurrection of life before the tribulation begins 2 Thes. 2:7-8 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom YAHSHUA (the Lord) shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: ] [see the hinderer of wickedness]
3. The144,000 Jews at the middle of the tribulation in 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
4. The tribulation saints and the two witness at the 7th.vial ;]Rev. 7:9 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; Rev. 11:12-13 And 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.
13a.And the same hour was there a great earthquake, This will conclude the first Resurrection the Resurrection of Life and the Door will be Shut to come to the Marriage.
5.All the righteous saints are seen in Heaven just before the marriage supper of the Lamb after the great earth quake of the 7th. vial in Rev. 16:17-18 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. Rev. 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto YAHSHUA (the Lord) our Eloheem (God): [After this everyone else that dies without Eloheem (God) and without all their sins under the blood will be in theresurrection of damnation which is the second death or the second resurrection at the great white throne judgment Rev.20:11-15.]
The Kingdom of Heaven - The 1,000 yr.Reign of Messiah./Christ
John 9:4-5 (KJV) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
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.
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 havent 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 havent sinned a sin to death such as blaspheming the Holy Ghost or worshiping the beast in any way. Also they havent fought against Israel or Eloheem (God)s saints at the battle of Armageddon. These were forced to be their but didnt 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 unEloheem (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 Gentiles 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 to 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.
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).
The Kingdom of Heaven Ends and the Kingdom of God Begins
The 1,000 yr.Reign of Christ/Messiah ends and the Reign of the Father Begins.
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 lightthe glory of Eloheem (God). Neither do these passages teach that there will be no sun and 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 city1,500 miles highand 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 deathphysical, 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 statewhere 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 cant 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).
The Kingdom of GOD
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).
Before we can say that we have a true understanding of Matthew 24,and most of Luke 21 and Luke 17.We have to have a true understanding of Dan.9:24-27/Dan.7/Dan 8/Rev.4-21 and many more scriptures.[ see the beast is loosed]
First we have to look at Dan 9:24-27 [see Daniels seventh week in the Beast is loosed pages 1-8.]
We must understand that the tribulation period is seven years not 3 ½ years. The beast breaks the seven year covenant in the middle of the covenant after 3 ½ years then the beast will set up the desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet in verse Mt.24:15 and the nation of Israel will flee for forty and two months or 1,260,days. At this time the beast will continue forty and two months. This is not when tribulation begins but is in the middle of it and it will be greater than the first half. Many people say Mat.24:4-12 have already been fulfilled ; each of these verses have literally been fulfilled by man but these verses are speaking of the future tribulation the first 3 ½ years.
[ Luke 21 was given to everyone at the Temple Luke 21:37 (KJV) And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
Luke 21 has some different verses than that of Matthew 24. (Luke 21:12-19 was talking about the immediate fate of the apostles and Luke 21:17-19 the immediate war with the Romans the people of the prince not the prince/beast. Luke 20-36 The 7 year covenant Dan.9:27 being broken by the Beast in the middle of tribulation and the last 3 ½ years of tribulation and the battle of Armageddon.)Matthew24 was given only to the Apostles at the mount of Olives after they departed from the Temple Mt. 24:1]
Matthew 24:1-42 (KJV) And YahShua (Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2And YahShua (Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [Fulfilled in 70 A.D. by the people of the prince the Romans not the prince that will come in latter times Dan. 9:26 (see Daniels seventh week in the beast is loosed pages 1-8 )] 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?Luke 21:12-24.and what shall be the sign of thy coming Matthew 24:4-26,37-39., and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:27-31,40-51; Matthew 25:1-46.
(present or future)[so world means age.]We must understand that they are going to be 7 years of tribulation and not just 3 ½ as some that misunderstand this chapter would have to teach if they were correct. Dan 9:24-27
The covenant will be broken in the middle and not the beginning. Even though verses 4-12 seem to have been fulfilled they have not because this is speaking of the first 3 ½ years of tribulation.
4And YahShua (Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that
no man deceive you .Many warnings against being deceived (Matthew 24:4
5,11,24; Luke 21:8; 1 Cor. 6:9; 1 Cor. 15:33; Galatians 6:7; Ephes. 5:6; 2 Thes. 2:3).
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Messiah (Messiah (Christ)); and shall deceive many. [Many have already done this but this is speaking of the tribulation period.] 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Yes wars have already taken place but these are all future wars spoken of here.[The end of the age is at Armageddon these wars have to take place to fulfill prophecy and lead up to the battle of Armageddon]
Rev. 6:4 (KJV) And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sWord.Daniel 11:40-41 (KJV) And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.[The king of the north is syria and the king of the south is Egypt and the kingdoms of the north and east are Russia and China and others these kingdoms are north and east of Syria.] Daniel 7:24 (KJV) And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [The beast/antchrist kingdom defeats three of the ten kingdoms in the first 3 ½ years of tribulation. During the treaty with Israel and many nations.]
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [Dan 11:40-44/Dan 7:24 same as verse 6.] Rev. 6:6-8 (KJV) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [ This is symbolic of famine]7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sWord, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Rev. 6:12 (KJV) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev. 8:5 (KJV) And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
8All these are the beginning of sorrows. ,
[birthpains of the Jews .
Rev. 12:1-2 (KJV) And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
[ see the woman clothed with the sun.]
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [The Jews are hated among many nations today and this hatred will grow greater and greater as time goes on and even worse during the tribulation.]
10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Zech. 13:2 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the YahWeh ( LORD) of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.[This is speaking of the false prophets during the tribulation and that day is when YahShua (Jesus comes at the battle of Armageddon to judge the nations and the people who will fight at that battle.]
Zech. 13:4 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: Deut. 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a Word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. [Because of witchcraft ,Satan and beast worship the love of many shall wax cold.]
13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [The end of the age not the resurrection but at the battle of Armageddon when YahShua (Jesus comes in all his glory with all the saints and all the Angels of Heaven. We must also endure until the end of ones life and we must also endure until the resurrection of the church.We have to understand that there will be eternal generations of natural people living on into the 1,000 year reign of Messiah (Messiah (Christ)) ( see Eternal Generations of natural people] 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. [ The pure gospel has been lost and is not preached today by man so (Eloheem God) will have to use an Angel to fulfill this prophecy and this will not be done until the Tribulation. And then the end of the age will come at Armageddon when YahShua (Jesus sets up his kingdom here on earth.]
Rev. 14:6 (KJV) And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)
This is in the middle of tribulation after 3 ½ years when the beast brakes the 7 year covenant in the middle Daniel 9:27
Dan. 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 8:9-14 (KJV) And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. The little horn is the beast,antichrist prince that shall come and so many more names. [see the beast in the beast is loosed]
16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: This literally happened in 70 AD. BUT this is talking about during the time the beast o/r the prince that will come will seek to destroy them. Rev. 12:6 (KJV) And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of (Eloheem God), that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [The woman is the nation of Israel see the woman clothed with the Sun.]
Isaiah 16:1-4 (KJV) Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 2For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. 3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. 4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. Daniel 11:41 (KJV) He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: [Because he will be overtaken by the armies of the beast.] 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[ Because he will be over taken by the armies of the beast/a.c. ] 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [ Because it will be hard to escape the armies of the beast if they are with child. ] 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [ Because the orthodox Jews hold it unlawful to travel more than a mile on that day (Acts 1:12), so they would be overtaken by the beast armies.]
21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [ This is not the beginning of the tribulation but the middle of it. The beast does not set up the desolation in the Temple until the middle of tribulation. Because the beast will break the seven year covenant with many nations after the first 3 ½ years or in the middle of tribulation. Daniel 9:27 (KJV) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Then will seek to destroy Mystery Babylon Rev.17 ( see Mystery Babylon in The Beast is loosed ) and the nation of Israel Rev.12 (see the woman clothed with the sun.) and the peace treaty will be broken and the last 3 ½ years of tribulation will be greater because of the persecution on the people. ]
22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [The persecution itself will be cut short, not the 1260 days themselves (Rev. 11:1-3; Rev. 12:6,14; Rev. 13:5; Daniel 12:7) [elect's sake] Jews, not the Church because:
1. YahShua (Jesus is answering a Jewish question (Matthew 24:3; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 1:6)
2. False Messiahs primarily concern Israel (Matthew 24:5,23-26)
3. Anti-semitism proves it (Matthew 24:9)
4. The travail of Israel (note, § Matthew 24:8)
5. The abomination of desolation concerns Israel only (note, § Matthew 24:15)
6. The Jewish temple (note, § Matthew 24:15)
7. Flight of Israel (notes, § Matthew 24:16)
8. The sabbath is Jewish (note, § Matthew 24:20)
9. The great tribulation (note, § Matthew 24:21)
10. Jews are the only people to be gathered (note, § Matthew 24:31)
11. The coming of Messiah (Messiah (Christ)) is to deliver Israel (Matthew 24:29-31; Matthew 25:31-46; Zech. 14)
12. Judgment of the nations is based on treatment of Israel (Matthew 25:31-46)
13. The eagles eating carcasses was predicted to be at the time of Israel's deliverance (Matthew 24:28; Ezekiel 39:17-22; Luke 17:34-37; Rev. 19:17-21)
14. The church will be raptured before the above events (see The Hinderer of wickedness, and The first Resurrection in the Beast is loosed.)
(Eloheem God) will not shorten the amount of days When (Eloheem God) gives a certain amount of days then it will not be changed but this means that he will shorten the persecution ; he will do this by the kingdoms of east and the north declaring war on the beast.]
Daniel 11:44 (KJV) But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
[ The beast/antichrist will have to take his focus off the Jews and fight these kingdoms and he will eventually defeat them and become their chief prince the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. ]

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah (Messiah (Christ)), or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Messiah (Messiah (Christ))s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Satanic powers will be manifest in the tribulation (2 Thes. 2:7-12; Rev. 13:1-18; Rev. 16:13-16; Rev. 19:20; Daniel 8:24).
25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Ezekiel 39:17 (KJV) And, thou son of man, thus saith the YahWeh ( LORD) (Eloheem God); Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Where the dead bodies are slain at Armageddon the birds will be gathered together to eat them (Job 39:30; Ezekiel 39:17-22; Luke 17:34-37; Rev. 19:17-21). Isaiah 66:24 (KJV) And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neith er shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
The rapture/resurrection will have taken place years before this (see the first resurrection). Messiah (Christ)) is not a dead carcass nor are the saints eagles to be caught up to such a carcass. This is not in the air, but on earth (Ezekiel 39:17; Rev. 19:11-21).
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Joel 2:2 (KJV) A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [ At the battle of ARMAGEDDON ] Rev. 19:11-21 (KJV) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of (Eloheem God). 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sWord, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty (Eloheem God). 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND YAHWEH ( LORD) OF ( LORD)S.
[ This is the gathering of the nations the goat nations, the gathering of the nations to the judgment of nations (Mt. 25:31-46; Dan. 7:9-14). Blessed are the people who will live through the battle of Armageddon and meet the conditions of escaping death at the judgment of the nations and be allowed to enter the kingdom (Mt. 25:31-46).]
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.Isaiah 11:11-12 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the YahWeh ( LORD) shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
32Now learn a parable of the fig tree;[ The fig tree is the nation of Israel ] When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, [ When Israel becomes a nation again with a Government in Jerusalem. This happened in 1948. ]
ye know that summer is nigh: [ Summer is symbolic of Harvest ] 33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34Verily I s ay unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. [ The generation that is alive in 1948 will not pass away until all be fulfilled (see the first resurrection )
All the things that will be fulfilled by the time of his second coming to the earth at the battle of Armageddon to set up his kingdom here on earth.= 1. The resurrection of the church into the resurrection of Life the second part of the first resurrection. 2. The resurrection of the 144,000 Jews into the resurrection of Life in the middle of tribulation. 3. The resurrection of the tribulation saints into the resurrection of Life 4. The seven years of tribulation completed. 5. The second coming of YahShua (Jesus with all the saints and all his angels at the battle of Armageddon to set up his kingdom. ]
35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away. [ They shall only be changed from one condition to another. The same meaning as when we are born again] 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:
Heb.1:10-12 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.
36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [ Because of witchcraft, Satan and beast worship during the tribulation man will be as evil as the days of Noah.] 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; [ Took means destroyed; destroyed them all as stated in Luke 17:27 (KJV) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. ] so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.[ The second coming OF YahShua (Jesus to the Earth at the battle of Armageddon not the resurrection of the church.] 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,[Most people use this scripture for the resurrection of the church but that is false even though this will happen at the resurrection this has a different meaning. Taken means destroyed so,
one will be destroyed at the battle of Armageddon] and the other left.
[ The other will be left to live on into the 1,000 year reign of Messiah (Christ)) the ones that are left will be 1/6th. of the beast armies ] 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: 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.
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.
[All these will escape the wrath of (Eloheem God) because they were forced to be their and didnt do anything to the Jews or the Christians.]
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [Same meaning as verse 40.]
42Watch therefore: [ Watch means to stay awake and focussed on (Eloheem God). ] for ye know not what hour your YahWeh ( LORD) doth come.
