every spiritual aspect of life, within God-ordained limits. This provided His elect the opportunity to experience the effects of straying from His loving teachings and principals, to gain valuable first-hand knowledge of how important and wise God’s ways were. Eventually, Satan’s power over the earth culminated in his fourth religious kingdom of the beast, the Roman Empire. Through Rome’s ultimate false religion of secular humanism, Satan has been poisoning the whole world like a cancer for two millenniums, and he will continue to do so until this current era of the fifth seal ends. But, in the era of the sixth seal, Satan’s kingdom will begin to fall, as Jesus revives His true church of Israel.

During the entire history of the world, the spirits of all God’s elect grew a greater appreciation of God’s truth and just love, as they experienced the pains of Satan’s unjust world order. And, as their knowledge of God and His ways grew, so did their pain, since Satan’s opposition to them also grew stronger. As the boundaries of knowledge expanded over the centuries, regarding biblical justice and love, the devil fought back with darker and more entangling lies and delusions preached through his world order, including through his fake humanistic churches. Satan’s vile kingdom of the world order became more powerful every generation, until it has enslaved all of the earth’s governments and religions in the present times. Now the whole world has adopted Satan’s worst and most vile false religion, a faith which worships sinful human beings, the hierarchical religion of humanism.

However, the kingdom of God was also growing over the centuries, hidden within the hearts of the elect. God’s teachings about His justice, equity and wisdom through love grew stronger and more widely accepted by elect souls throughout the world. And, when the era of the sixth seal begins, God will begin to reverse the balance of power in the world. The power of Satan’s factious, unjust, self-serving and fragile world order has been built up for millenniums, but almost entirely through the power of physical violence, and through lies appealing only to foolish minds of flesh. Satan has never possessed any real spiritual power to overcome the concepts which God’s Spirit utters directly to the spirits of His elect children, and has never been able to entirely eliminate the spiritual kingdom of God, which works its just love over all the earth. So God will indeed destroy Satan’s physical kingdom, through physical plagues which crush his physical systems and physical methodologies.

Within a few decades after the first trumpet sounds in seventh seal’s era, God’s vengeance will soon pour out on every nation, punishing all who worship humans and devils as their gods. All the elect will also suffer during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, until Jesus returns. But the elect will be prepared, gathering together to meet the challenges of those days, and they will not be destroyed on the day Jesus returns, like the non-elect shall. So, in the meantime, this reversal of power requires the patient endurance of the saints, until Jesus nullifies all the works Satan did throughout history.

The suffering and the deaths of persecuted servants of God will continue during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, but not as much as during the era of the fifth seal. For there will be visible true Christian churches working together with one mind and purpose, and even some truly Christian nations formed during the sixth seal’s era. So the elect will have places to hide and take refuge from the persecutions in those days, although many elect will not have the time or opportunity to escape, especially those trapped in the beast’s European nations. Yet many of those martyrs dying by the hands of the beast will be resurrected to life on earth again, when Jesus returns, so all may complete their earthly teaching and training during the millennium of the Messiah’s rule over all the world.

Far greater blessings will be granted to the elect during the end times, far more prophecies and gifts of the Holy Spirit than those granted to past elect believers. These blessings will begin with the knowledge which helped the past beleaguered elect cope with persecution, the faith that God shall judge all human beings justly in the very end. Thus, when they see the devastation caused by the

prophesied world-wide earthquakes and striking meteors, which initiate the sixth seal’s era, they will know that their generation will see Jesus return to condemn and destroy Satan’s unjust world order. And the assurance of His imminent, just, equitable, loving kingdom will grow exponentially. Then Jesus’ Holy Spirit will cause elect spirits to realize that only He can provide their forgiveness, atonement, healing and recompense. So, during the sixth seal’s era, most Gentile elect and many Jewish elect will repent into a knowledge of the truth, into an abundant life filled with genuine, God-like love. Jesus will also work patience in them, an understanding that God will be doing a just work as He nullifies and destroys the works of Satan even as He puts to death the innately evil non-elect.

Nevertheless, we know Satan’s children will hate and persecute the elect until Jesus completes His acts of judgment. And the only difference between the past, current and end-time persecutions will be the intensity and scope, since many elect will find safety from persecutions in the end times, more than they have been able to during these fifth-seal persecutions. Also, after the sixth seal’s revival, most elect shall be comforted and guided by the Holy Spirit, who will make their burdens more bearable. At the same time, the wicked shall be crushed more than ever before, by the plagues of the seventh seal. Paul wrote about some of these matters in his letter to the Thessalonians. So let me introduce the eras of the end times, the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, with these words of Paul:

II Thessalonians 1:3-12 (ESV): “We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,

as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one

another is increasing. Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for

your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are

enduring.

“This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of

the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering—since indeed God considers it just to

repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well

as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming

fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the

gospel of our Lord Jesus.

“They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord

and from the glory of His might, when He comes on that day to be glorified in His saints,

and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was

believed. To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His

calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His power, so that

the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the

grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .”

Paul wrote this letter to the persecuted churches of his day, and to all the elect who will join them on the final day, to all whom God has granted a knowledge of His Gospel truths. So it is to all with the ability to truly love, to all who hate the injustice, inequity and tyranny worked against their siblings in humankind, who take a stand against those evils. It is a letter to all whom God’s Holy Spirit stirs up against the devil’s works, who oppose lies with truth, who denounce greed’s ruthless exploitation, racist dehumanization, the acquisition of power through violence and all that is ungodly. But it was not a letter to sects of Satan’s world order, who make social contracts with one another by submitting to sacraments, reciting “Sinner’s Prayers” or swearing to creeds. This letter is to the real elect, whose spirits actually learn the truths taught by Jesus’ Holy Spirit, then rise up in response to His calling.

The churches in Paul’s day were filled with the Holy Spirit of Jesus, much like the churches will be during the sixth seal’s revival. Yes, his letters are useful for all the elect believers in all time, but they will be especially applicable for the persecuted elect believers after the true visible church is revived during the era of the sixth seal. At the present time, God’s people suffer through the era of the fifth seal’s persecutions. Now some elect are more greatly persecuted than the Thessalonian church was in the first century. But soon, after the sixth seal’s revival, the faith and love of the elect will once more grow abundantly, and their steadfastness will increase during all their persecutions and afflictions, even more than it did in the Thessalonian church back then. The growth of faith and love will be far greater and throughout all subsequent generations this time, never to fail again, just as God ordained.

Paul thanked God because faith was “growing abundantly” in that church, and the love of each individual in the church was “increasing” for one another. They were not a half-full cup being sipped down to its dregs, but being filled to overflowing. Paul would also “boast about” their faith to endure “persecutions” and “afflictions” from the Romans, because they spoke the truth against lies, and refused to partake in the discriminatory and unjust practices of Rome. Then Paul declared this about those persecutions: “This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God.” For that church grew in faith and increased in love as they learned and spoke the truth. But their persecutors also heard the truth against their lies, but continued to ignore that truth, lie against that truth, and falsely justify all their greedy, selfish, exploitative, ruthless, violent ways. Thus, those persecutions for the Gospel truths about just, equitable love proved those elect to be “worthy of the kingdom of God,” but also proved that God was “just to repay with affliction” those who persecuted His servants sent to them.

Either on earth or in heaven, Jesus will “grant relief to you who are afflicted,” especially “when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire.” And, by then, all upon the earth will have heard the Gospel truths about salvation from lies and sins. All will know about God’s ways, about true and equitable justice through God-like love. None will be able to excuse themselves by claiming that they did not know those truths. All will have taken a stand either for or against those truths, and the dichotomization between the elect and non-elect will be complete. The liars and murders will be in one camp, and the awakened elect will be growing in faith, hope and love in the other camp. Then our God Jesus will begin “inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction” (vv. 8-9a). And it is “eternal destruction” to be cast “away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might” (v.9b). Since they did not love anyone except themselves, and hated the loving light of God, they will be cast into hell, where God hides His presence from them, and empties that realm of all His good creations, including light itself. So they will drift in hell’s darkness forever, with nothing to exploit or abuse, with only their cherished lies and delusions to “comfort” them. Then all their ungratified desires will torment them forever.

God begins His ordained process of devastating Satan’s world order by separating the elect out from the non-elect, by sanctifying them. And these are those whom Paul calls “saints,” all real members of His true church. This separation is the purpose of the “sealing” of the elect during the sixth seal’s era. The terrors of God’s plagues upon the whole earth expose and destroy the evils of Satan’s world order, but God must begin all this by first sanctifying the elect, by first separating them from the non-elect. So the first of God’s plagues against Satan’s kingdom will be to initiate the sixth seal’s era, by causing meteors to strike the earth, and with earthquakes in various places around the world. The resulting chaos will permanently weaken the stranglehold of Satan’s humanistic political, military, economic and propagandizing hierarchical systems. Then, with the previous accumulation of abundant information during the fifth seal’s era, this will provide fertile ground for God to revive

His true church. But God will allot only about 20 years, or what the Jews and the early church might call “half an hour” with God in heaven, to gather His elect into His true church. Then the next 20 years will experience the plagues of the seven trumpets and seven bowls of God’s wrath, ending with the second advent of Jesus. And, as Jesus sets His feet on the ground, all the non-elect will be dead.

Of course, Satan will fight back and the elect will continue to suffer while God is destroying that devil’s kingdom on earth. During the beast’s seven-year reign, Satan will make his last stand and the elect will experience a great persecution again. But Jesus will respond to their suffering, producing the same effects that Paul saw in the Thessalonian church. That is, the faith and love of the true elect will grow even more abundantly. Each day, after the sixth seal’s revival, believers will more purely and strongly trust the words, love and power of Jesus. As a direct result of this faith, their love for Jesus, and for one another, will increase exponentially. Christ’s Holy Spirit will dwell inside elect hearts everywhere, granting them the power to effectively serve Jesus in truth and love. Jesus shall work and move among us, doing His works of salvation in ways never seen before. Then we shall have “steadfastness and faith in all our persecutions and in the afflictions that we are enduring.” So His elect will be made ready for His second advent. “When He comes on that day,” Jesus will “be glorified in His saints” (v. 10). Because of what the prophets and apostles wrote in the Scriptures, Jesus will “be marveled at among all who have believed” (v. 10). And all this is coming very soon.

Throughout history, God refrained from condemning all of Satan’s world order to destruction, from inflicting His full, unbridled vengeance on the wicked non-elect, on all the ruthless souls who could never experience the real Jesus working in their lives, who could never know or want to learn about any of God’s loving and holy attributes and ways. For there were always too many elect among those non-elect, too many duped infantile elect shouting their lies in the streets and wielding the swords of their injustice beside them. But God’s vengeance will soon fall upon those lying and murdering non-elect, to repay them for all their arrogant injustice, murdering for selfish gain, criminal negligence, persecutions of the innocent, exploitations of siblings in the family of humankind, legal and illegal thefts and deceptions of the gullible. The very moment the sixth seal’s era begins, God’s vengeance shall begin to strike down their pride and power. With one heavy and painful blow after another, Jesus will beat down Satan and all his loveless children. In the end, on the day He appears in the sky, all evil souls will be struck dead and face eternity in hell. Until Jesus returns, the elect will suffer for the kingdom of God. Yet this will prove that they are God’s elect, with spirits created in His image.

If anyone is esteemed and heeded by Satan’s world order, if Satan grants anyone worldly prosperity and power, it proves the opposite, that the person is faithfully serving Satan and hates God. Only if the liars and unjust souls in Satan’s world order hate and oppose us, can we know that we are being faithful to God and love Him, that we are born of Him. As Jesus said, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” (John 15:19, ESV). And “has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which He has promised to those who love Him” (James 2:5, ESV). “If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (I John 2:15b, ESV). This sign of God’s rejection through being the love of Satan’s world order includes the love of greedy, lying, racist and often antisemitic churches, like the ones who supported Hitler and Trump, or the churches which have been unjust to immigrants, women or those who speak the truth.

All the current suffering of those who speak the truth through love, against Satan’s lying world order, proves they are the predestined elect who shall be made worthy of God’s grace and forgiveness. And through the teaching and training of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, all these will be brought into the true church during the sixth seal’s revival. So the revived true church will be nothing like the churches we see

Page 549

Last Days Timeline

 

today. For those in true churches will not be seen as good church members, because of their wealth, power or eloquence. Rather, Jesus will choose each elect soul in His true church. Then His Holy Spirit “will make them worthy of His calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in [them], and [them] in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord [Messiah] Jesus” (II Thes. 1:11b-12, ESV).

The revived true church in the sixth seal’s era will see all kinds of elect in them, and each individual will rejoice in being able to fulfill the inherent aptitude of spirit and flesh created inside one. That church will be faithfully served by true teaching and judging elders, and experts in both God’s Law and secular law. Then the entire church will do works of all kinds for one another and for the needy, as a fruitful community for God. So the members will serve as construction workers and farmers, those accounting for the equitable distribution of goods and those providing services, scientists and those who apply scientific information, and every other kind of person imaginable. And there will be no more hierarchies, only capable administrators chosen by God to serve the people. There will be no hoarding of information to make oneself more valuable in a hierarchical system. Rather, there will be both horizontal and vertical sharing of information, with free education in all aspects of the works of the churches. And there will be no selfishly ambitious little psychopaths and their toadies rising to the tops of hierarchies, because there will be no hierarchies, only God’s servants made able and willing to do the works required. As in the days of Moses, the people will follow those whom God has chosen in each extended family of the church; honest, Spirit-filled and God-enabled men.

As for the weaknesses among individuals, the strengths of other individuals will cover them, through the free flow of communications without fear. The physically disabled, any whom God does not choose to heal for His good reasons, will have accommodations and education to do the works God wants them to do. The same goes for the “cognitively disabled,” who are very often the best kinds of workers. For instance, some neurodivergents make the best long-term strategists and theologians, although those same people often take exponentially more time to develop effective and expedient responses in stressful situations or emergencies, sometimes days or even weeks longer than most neurotypicals. The neurodivergents may obsessively seek and analyze information and the normal person may respond to some situations faster, but both kinds are needed for a community. So those with “normal” brains can take up the tasks which require quick thinking and immediate responses, while neurodivergents can perform multitudes of other equally critical tasks. In the end, all will find joy in the heart through their own kinds of works, and all that needs to be done for all will be done.

Jesus makes us worthy by creating our spirits with an ability to repent. But make no mistake; not all are “worthy,” nor can all be made “worthy.” Not all are able to repent. For the human spirits born of Satan’s spirit can only desire the utter darkness of their unjust, ruthless lies and delusions. Since lies and delusions make them feel like gods, and becoming gods who cater to their own desires is all that the non-elect want, they cannot be redeemed. They will always hate the light of God’s truth and love far too much to ever repent into it. Therefore, the elect will always be afflicted by the non-elect, and God will surely afflict them. Jesus will repay them with the same currency of pain they cause others.

So, until Jesus beats down and utterly destroys the loveless, ruthless wicked, we will never find any relief from the non-elect, and never be able to build a just, loving life, until we separate from them and gather together with other loving elect souls. We must seek the loving elect in life, and judge their fruits of love by God’s biblical standards, not by the criteria of fake humanistic churches. For the wicked non-elect will never stop hating, hurting and hunting those who strives to do what is just and loving. But, together, we can nullify their works and build up God’s just, loving kingdom on earth for the elect. Then Jesus will come to disinfect the earth, so we can live in peace with Him.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

Now, in this Scripture, it says that the coming of Jesus will be “continuously giving vengeance to those not having experientially known God with understanding and to those not hearing and heeding the Gospel of our Lord Jesus” (II Thes. 1:8, ALT, from: διδόντος ἐκδίκησιν τοῖς μὴ εἰδόσι θεὸν καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὑπακούουσιν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ). And all these will pay the just penalty of eternal destruction in hell, cast apart from God and apart from all His good creations, which they have always selfishly exploited or destroyed. But these are not merely the ignorant, who never had a chance to hear the Gospel, who have not had an opportunity to witness God’s spiritual creations that testify to His Gospel, such as love from the spirits of other human beings or even love from a mere animal. Nor did they fail to see God’s attributes written in all His creations, especially His attribute of just and pure love. No! These ones deliberately rejected and despised both God and the works of God’s love, which were made plainly evident to them through many of His people and creations. So the end times will see our God justly and “continuously giving vengeance” to those lying murderers.

Of course, there are also some elect who are ignorant of the true Gospel, because fake churches do not preach it, and they have not heard it from any other source. And some elect think God is one of the fake gods of those fake churches, so they reject those fake gods. Then there are many other elect who have never even heard the names “Jesus” or “Yahweh.” Yet these elect always have at least a little knowledge of God’s kind of just, equitable love, although it may be severely corrupted by the lies of Satan’s non-elect. But, if they know and comprehend this kind of love, and this love is the principal attribute of God, then they have “experientially known God with understanding.” And the goal of the Gospel is to bless the elect with God’s forgiveness for their lies and sins, to grant them atonement which restores their relationship with God, so they might learn to love in just, equitable and God-like ways. Thus, these elect also show signs of “hearing and heeding the Gospel” as well, since they already love, albeit not nearly as well as they could love if they consciously knew the real Jesus and the real Gospel. And, either during the sixth seal’s revival or on the final judgment day, all these elect will be brought into the Messiah’s New Covenant salvation, and gain a more conscious awareness of the Holy Spirit’s teaching and training of their spirits. None of these will go to hell.

God’s Word also tells us that Jesus is saving some who do not consciously know Jesus, but inwardly know Him. That is, their minds of flesh do not realize that their spirits are continuously being taught by Jesus, to love in the way He loves, usually through many hardships of the flesh. Since the Spirit of Jesus is personally teaching their spirits, while their minds of flesh do not recognize His earthly name, their spirits are experiencing Him and truly know Him. Only the elect of the true and visible church are awakened enough that both the minds of their spirits and the minds of their flesh know Jesus. Nevertheless, the sleeping and unaware elect, together with the wakened elect members of His true church, will both go to heaven. The just and pure kind of love which Jesus is now working in the hearts of both kinds of elect will lead them to heaven. So God’s vengeance is only for the non-elect, for those who have never had any genuine, God-like love developed in their spirits, and never want to have any. It is for those who never experienced Jesus laboring in their hearts, and never will.

The non-elect are unloving souls who inwardly hate the light of truth, especially the just, equitable principles of God-like love. The non-elect see revenge as better than true justice, money as a better lord than the real God, and the ability to force subordinates to fear them as better than the ability to effectively serve equals who depend on one’s decisions. Yes, their father, Satan, makes some of his brood look outwardly “good,” or even zealously religious. But their “goodness” and “religious zeal” only corrupts and promotes lies. Satan only makes them appear “good” or “religious” to slander God and deceive God’s sleeping elect, as they directly or indirectly murder through their lies and their fake religions. And none of those vile, ruthless non-elect actually know the real Jesus with any kind

 

Page 551

Last Days Timeline

 

of understanding about Him and His ways. Nor can they ever know Him or His ways, since their spirits are not born of God. So the non-elect are cast deeper into hell every day, no matter how much they practice religion. For hell’s spiritual darkness is lies and delusions, which they fall deeper into each day. And hell’s spiritual fires are ungratified desires, which grow stronger in them each day.

Regardless of how many sacraments anyone may have received, or no matter how “sincerely” the emotions of one’s mind of flesh may have recited a “Sinner’s Prayer,” it will do nothing for the spirit of either an elect or non-elect person. It will only strengthen a reliance on cheap tricks to comfort the emotions and intellect of the flesh, in either an elect or non-elect person. What an elect spirit really needs is for Jesus’ Holy Spirit to awaken one’s eternal spirit, to make one acutely aware of the great spiritual beauty of other human beings and life, the love, hate, justice, injustice, good, evil and the ultimate balance of spiritual creations. What one needs is for His Spirit to pour understanding and truths into one’s spirit, to teach and train one’s spirit to love in the way He Himself wisely loves.

Regardless of whether or not the non-elect “get religion,” they will still lie to themselves and to all others, then either directly or indirectly cause the sufferings and deaths of the innocent through those lies. So, yes, they will be sent to a place in the spiritual realm where they can indulge in their lies and delusions forever. Paul said, “they will suffer [the] justice [of] eternal destruction” (II Thes. 1:9, from: δίκην τίσουσιν ὄλεθρον αἰώνιον). And, if their “destruction” is “eternal,” then it occurs in the spiritual realm, not on earth, because nothing on earth is eternal. The non-elect will indeed go to hell.

Now some like to comfort themselves with a lie, by making themselves believe that God is not so cruel or unjust that He would cast anyone into hell forever, that God is so good that He would only cast a spirit into hell long enough for that spirit to repent. So they say that even Satan will eventually repent and go to heaven. But that is a multi-layered lie. For God is indeed just and loving, which is why He sends all loveless spirits home into the eternal darkness they love so much. For, if God sent the non-elect into the light of heaven, which they hate, they would endure unrelenting pain from all of its light, and God could be blamed for causing that extreme pain. But, in hell, non-elect spirits themselves cause their own pain, by craving the fulfillment of their own evil desires, and by the extreme frustration they feel at not being able to gratify those lusts, because they will be granted nothing good to exploit or destroy. Furthermore, how can spirits created with a loveless core, who love only the darkness of lies and delusions, ever repent into love which is built only upon truths?

If some think that the Scriptures do not refer to hell as an eternal place, then heaven is not eternal either, nor are God and all spiritual things eternal. For exactly the same words, in exactly the same ways, are used by the Scriptures to describe the eternity of heaven, hell, God, Satan, human spirits and all other spiritual entities. And, logically, there must be a more solid, concrete, eternal reality which underlies and causes this fluid, vaporous, temporary material existence. Furthermore, the only reason I can see for their belief that hell is temporary is because they believe false Platonic doctrines about human beings created as “blank slates,” but where all possess some mysterious kind of love in them. They believe humans are their own gods who can create and recreate themselves into whatever their “free will” decides to be. Then they scoff at dualistic biblical teachings about one God who created and predestined all human spirits to be either His elect children or Satan’s non-elect children, simply because they want to believe Middle Platonic man-god doctrines, without evidence. Yet all the real evidence points to the fact that humans are indeed predestined to become what they become.

Once those Platonists step out of the little delusional worlds they create for themselves, into reality, they begin to clearly see that some people are indeed loveless. Some of those they work beside or even live with can surely be defined as loveless, based on the biblical definition of God-like love.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

So, although the elect tend to only become close friends with other loving elect souls, then think that all human beings are like them, they are definitely wrong. For they can easily read about many loveless spirits who casually justify horrible mass murders without a hint of remorse, especially the wealthy and powerful in Satan’s world order, but also, to a lesser extent, the ruthless psychopaths who brutally murder a few dozen innocent people, but stupidly, enabling us to incarcerate those few.

The Scriptures tell us that Satan and his non-elect children all have spirits which were created incomplete, lacking any ability or desire to truly love in a just, real and God-like way. And this is the permanent core nature of their spirits, which cannot be altered, only suppressed. So all these loveless ones have only one desire and goal in life, to become their own gods who serve themselves alone, who seek esteem and the right to be served through the acquisition of money and power. This is exactly what we see all around us, in about half of the people on earth. However, since they can never learn to truly love anyone, these non-elect should never be granted any kind of authority through any means, neither through wealth nor political works. For those who cannot love cannot hear loving counsel nor act for the good of others, because they can only ever do what is best for themselves. Also, those with elect spirits must separate themselves from those non-elect, spiritually and even physically, because those non-elect corrupt and nullify works of truly just, God-like love.

In reality, “God-like love is originating from out of God, and every loving one originates from God, having been begotten and continuously knowing God. The one not loving does not know God., because God is love” (I John 4:7-8, ALT, from: ἡ ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ γεγέννηται καὶ γινώσκει τὸν θεόν. ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν θεόν, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν). So God will forever separate all His loving elect spirits from those loveless non-elect spirits, by placing the elect in heaven and the non-elect in their own preferred home called hell. Also, this separation into heaven is not for His loving elect human spirits alone, but also for the elect spirits of animals, plants and all other forms of life on earth, since all those spirits of life are faithful to God and all love in the ways God designed them to love. A loving God must keep non-elect spirits, who corrupted and exploited His elect on earth, forever apart from all His loving elect spirits, eternally in hell, because those non-elect spirits will never be able recreate their loveless spirits into loving spirits. Only God can do that, and His wise choices in the creation of all spirits was final, along with His creation of eternal heaven as the home of the elect and His creation of eternal hell as the home of the non-elect.

Still, non-elect demons and human spirits will not literally suffer “eternal destruction” (II Thes. 1:9) in the way some think. That is, they will not be destroyed, killed or ruined a little at a time, and it is impossible for an eternal spirit to be completely destroyed or killed, that is, a spirit cannot cease to exist altogether, because time in the spiritual realm does not allow for anything in it to simply stop existing. The Greek phrase (οἵτινες δίκην τίσουσιν ὄλεθρον αἰώνιον) means: “They will pay a just penalty [of] eternal ruin.” Those spirits will be punished eternally. Then Paul describes how they will be punished. In hell, they will be “away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might.” In other words, they will be cast into a place which where God hides His presence from them, since they hate Him. And “the glory of His might” includes literally all His creations. For all God created reveals His presence and glory. Thus, hell will not contain any of His creations, none of His spiritual and physical entities, nor any of His truths and wise principles created for the optimum functioning of His good creations. Hell will be a void, with none of the realities created by God, nor any of His light. Nothing receiving God’s good opinion (glory) will be in hell. For the non-elect hate all that reminds them of God. So God will hand them over to their dark delusions for all of eternity.

Yet our omnipresent God will exist even in hell (Ps. 139:8), since His power, worked through His mind and by His “hands,” must keep both their non-elect spirits and all the emptiness of hell existing

throughout eternity. The only things all those demons and their children will possess in hell will be the unreal perceptions of life and the tiny little self-manufactured selfish meanings of life, all the lies and delusions which they created for themselves since they were created. In hell, Satan and his brood will never again be able to touch any created things that God deems to be good. They will have absolutely nothing of God to abuse or exploit in hell. They did nothing but abuse and exploit God’s good creations on earth. But even not a slender ray of light or grain of sand will be found in hell.

Yet all the souls in hell will forever retain their strong desire to abuse, exploit and destroy God’s good creations, since their strongest core desire is to make themselves into their own gods, and they make themselves feel like gods by abusing, exploiting and destroying God’s creations. Therefore, since they will not possess any means of fulfilling that innate, irresistible, very strong desire, their spirits will be intensely frustrated forever. And this internal and eternal frustration will be their “everlasting punishment,” like a fire that burns in them forever, or like thousand of devouring worms gnawing upon their souls forever. But it will be them, their own desires, which cause that torment.

This eternal punishment of the demons and the non-elect humans on earth will begin “when [Jesus] comes on that day to be glorified in His saints” (II Thes. 1:10). That is, when Jesus returns, He will cast Satan and his tribe of fallen angels, into hell. Then He will kill the flesh of all their non-elect human offspring on the earth, forcing them to sleep in the spiritual realm until they will be cast into eternal hell. Now, throughout history, God’s vengeance has been pouring out against the wicked non-elect who actively serve Satan. But God will not complete His vengeance until the end times, and will not remove them all from the face of the earth until the day that Jesus returns. During eras of the sixth and seventh seals, Jesus will “repay with affliction” those who afflict His elect, while He will also “grant relief” to His people who are afflicted. No other time in history was prophesied to bring about the final and utter destruction of the wicked except the end times. Not even the days of Noah’s flood could eliminate all the non-elect from the earth, since Satan was able to create more non-elect humans after the flood. For God could not destroy all the non-elect until He separated the elect from those non-elect, and this could only be done by a world-wide revival of His elect through the works of His Holy Spirit. So God will destroy the non-elect after the sixth seal’s revival, through many plagues. And He will complete that work after all the elect repent or are about to repent, on the day of His return to guide the elect into abundant, loving, just, equitable lives that truly fulfill His Law.

Likewise, the eras of the sixth and seventh seals are also the only prophesied times “when He should come to be glorified in His sanctified people, and to be admired in all who believed, because each one was trusting our testimony on behalf of you in that day” (II Thes. 1:10, ALT, from: ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐνδοξασθῆναι ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ καὶ θαυμασθῆναι ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς πιστεύσασιν, ὅτι ἐπιστεύθη τὸ μαρτύριον ἡμῶν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ). Here Paul spoke of “our testimony on behalf of you,” referring to all the New Testament writings by Paul and his fellow apostles. This was the testimony placed “upon you” or “on behalf of you” (ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς). So the written works on behalf of the true church in first century will be finally trusted again a true church “in that day,” after the great revival in the end times, after almost 2,000 years of being corrupted and nullified by the humanists.

Jesus shall once more be glorified in the “saints,” in the elect whom He has sanctified and set apart for His purposes “in that day.” And that “day” begins in the sixth seal’s era, when the elect will be sanctified by what John called the “sealing” of the saints, or what we might call a true revival. “In that day,” the elect will once again place their confidence in the words of the New Testament Scriptures. Also at that time, Christ’s vengeance against the wicked and His relief for His people will begin. All this will occur in the end times. Each sanctified elect soul will truly place his or her trust in God’s Word, in the truth granted through the apostles to the people of God’s first century church.

Then our God Jesus will finish providing relief for all the just, loving elect in His church, and complete His vengeance against all the unjust souls belonging to Satan, on the day Jesus returns to the earth. This has all been ordained from the beginning. Therefore, no matter how much the elect might try to force such events to occur before then, they will fail. Of course, we are to do the Lord’s “small” works daily, praying that Jesus might allow us to undo Satan’s works together with Him and the rest of the elect, so we might then build up God’s kingdom on earth, to make this earth as it is in heaven. For participating in Christ’s works is large part of our purpose on earth, part of His training process for our spirits. But the final events which destroy Satan’s kingdom of the world order and ultimately kill all of Satan’s most evil children can only occur in their preordained times, through a planed and predestined process, which must begin with a dichotomizing revival during the sixth seal.

The Scriptures only prophesied one time in all history when there would be a genuine, great, world-wide revival to establish God’s visible true church of Israel’s priesthood, when the elect of the world would finally believe and admire our God Jesus and His truths. After millenniums of illustrating His truths and demonstrating the effects of Satan’s humanistic religion, only when knowledge increased to a point where it was possible to create His functioning true church, would He build it on earth. For God plans carefully and for the long-term, taking into account all required factors. Only after this revival would His elect be separated from the non-elect. Then His elect would, at last, cast aside the humanism of the false churches. So, since we shall not be granted a world-wide revival and peace on earth until God’s appointed times, we do not need deluded revivalists or politicians to deceive and stir up our emotions of flesh to “save” us. What we need is Jesus’ Holy Spirit to teach and train our spirits to do His will on earth, so we can be truly revived, saved and able to endure these end times.

It is futile to pray for a world-wide revival and the destruction of all the wicked until the end times, since those events will not occur before their predestined times. It is not our job to work towards forcing something to occur when God has ordained it to occur at a specific time in the future. But there are many works of preparation for those end times, such as the increase of the knowledge of both good and evil, so we know how to love in a just and equitable way. We must pray that Jesus will make His elect ready for that day. We need to “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Mat. 9:38, ESV), to send out loving, honest, well-taught elders who can teach God’s Word rightly, and make just judgments in biblical ways about all that affects life.

Most elect today follow humanistic false teachings and traditions, or are completely untaught. Yet the great revival of the sixth seal’s era will begin soon. Nevertheless, our God Jesus is teaching them, by illustrating how stupid and evil their leaders have been, and by how stupid and evil they are for following those leaders. All over the world, the vile effects of humanism are being demonstrated to the elect, especially the humanistic sect of fascism, which will be the religion of the demonic beast. So most of the elect are becoming repulsed by Roman humanism, and are seeking a better way. But they will need God-sent teaching and judging elders to make them ready for the end times, men whom God Himself has fully prepared beforehand for the task of assisting their brothers and sisters to prepare for those days. God must prepare all kinds of servants for the works of that future revival.

Judging by the slow rate of learning among us, His infantile elect, it seems that it might require more than one generation to raise up adequate elders and other servants of God, to prepare us for the end times revival and world-wide plagues. Yet God has already done much of this work in many of us, and He can work very swiftly when appointed times come. For Jesus will require only about one generation during the end times to revive His elect, separate them from the non-elect, expose all lies and delusions upon the earth, then utterly destroy more than 2,600 years of Satan’s works to build up

his evil world-wide humanistic empire through his four kingdoms. And Jesus will not only destroy the physical power of Satan’s kingdom, but also its spiritual and emotional power over the world.

So the end times, beginning with the sixth seal’s era, may be very near. Thus, we had better pray that God will begin this process of training suitable, faithful elders now, especially teaching and judging elders, who will take the longest time to train. For there are so few faithfully serving teaching and judging elders at the present time, that almost none can be found anywhere on earth. We do not need to pray for more money to fund bigger evangelical rallies and to build bigger church buildings that will be “more visible in our communities,” nor more trite motivational speakers and professional music from “worship teams” to “revive” emotions of the flesh. Nor do we need more wealthy and sinfully self-indulgent tithing members of those fake churches. We do not need to pray for a more deviously cunning strategy to trap more souls in today’s humanistic churches, whose heads and lords are humanistic frauds. Rather, what we need to pray for is what we truly need, God and His truths.

We need to pray that our God Jesus Himself, not men, will make elect souls “worthy of His calling.” We need to pray that the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus might fulfill every resolve of every elect spirit, and thus fulfill each one’s works of faith, all through “His power.” And we must stop relying on the power of Satan’s invention, money, or the terrorizing minorities of elite in hierarchical systems, or the cunning of wanna-be human gods. Then, if God endorses and enables our small works, He will also raise up laborers for the harvest, all the teaching and serving elders we will need during the time of the sixth seal’s revival and seventh seal’s plagues. But there will be no God-ordained elders ready for that time unless we first realize that we can only become worthy through faith in Jesus, not man.

We cannot be justified and made worthy by those attempting to establish themselves as the lords and gods of humanistic churches, who judge all things in their own names, who actually judge nothing in the name of Jesus. And Jesus told humanistic preachers like them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:15, WEB). We need to be justified by God, not by men. The prophets and apostles surely had no faith in men, only a trust in God. This is why they obeyed God rather than man (Acts 5:29). For Jesus, our wise God, also has no faith in man. “But Jesus didn’t entrust Himself to them, because He knew everyone, and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for He Himself knew what was in man” (John 2:24-25). Our God Jesus only has faith in Himself and in the Father. Likewise, we only place our confidence in the concepts poured into our spirits by Jesus’ Holy Spirit, and in His interpretations of His own Word.

Literally all the prophets and apostles rejected or ignored the corrupted religious teachers and influential leaders of their day, although those arrogant humanists held sway over the vast majority of the people of that time. All God’s servants knew that all self-made human lords and gods were unjust. They knew God’s ways were always infinitely better than the ways invented by those who declared themselves to be the gods of the people, by inventing laws and ways for the people to obey, then terrorizing the people into submission to their laws and ways. Naturally, the majority in the secular society, as well as in the humanistic mainline churches, rejected and despised the prophets and apostles. Yet God’s true servants did not falter, for God’s sake and for the sakes of their beloved people, even for the children of future generations. For God’s true servants all realized that God alone is wise, and only He and His truths could save souls from the destruction which those human wanna-be gods of Rome and Roman churches were causing. In the end, many of God’s true servants willingly died at the hands of Rome and humanistic churches rather than compromise on God’s truth.

Look at how Abraham left his homeland, because he would rather serve God than than live in the corrupting idolatry of his oppressive native land. Look at how the prophets and apostles suffered abuse, tortuous beatings and were eventually murdered by false churches and their secular humanist siblings. Yet these persevered in God, in Jesus, for they realized that no hope could be found in anyone or anything else but Him. They knew that all who rejected God, that all who twisted and distorted God’s words for their own selfish purposes, came from the darkness assigned to a place far below God’s brightly lit kingdom. So the radiant spirits of God’s true servants refused to let the fear of their flesh walk away from their Creator’s Holy Spirit, or the wisdom He revealed to their hearts.

Now we must follow their example. Now let us trust God Himself to make us worthy, to teach and purify our spirits, to make our works effective for the good of our beloved ones. We want the name of our Lord Jesus to be glorified among us—not the names of sinful men. And the usurpers of Christ’s headship may make obscene profits from our blood, but in Jesus can we be glorified, receive His praise and peace in our hearts. Only when all that is done in us and through us is “according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ,” granted by Him through His totally unmerited and unearned love, will we become sanctified and “worthy” people of God, priests of His true church, effectively used for His purposes, as a light in this dark world, reflecting His light of love, truth and wisdom to all the needy elect souls. Only Jesus can stop all the wicked and give relief to His elect.

Returning to the Revelation’s description of the sixth seal’s era (Rev. 6:12-17), which initiates the end times, the disasters of the world-wide earthquake and falling “stars” shall clearly produce some extremely devastating effects around the world. And, when it does occur, the devastation of this magnitude will cause the ruin of every central government in every nation on earth. Governments will lose control over their people. Therefore, groups of people in all nations will need to re-define, rebuild and re-establish themselves in new local systems, to prevent chaos, murdering and starvation. There will be a total reset of economic, political, judicial, military and educational systems among these groups, as well as a joining of all successful groups to prevent ruthless gangs from killing and plundering. And, eventually, enough of these groups will join to become whole nations, some large and some small, some truly Christian nations and some totally Roman humanistic nations. Nothing will be the same after this. People on earth will no longer be able to remain carnally complacent and totally spiritually asleep. The hearts of people will need to awaken, stand up and make hard choices.

Consequently, the wicked will feel free to become as evil as their spirits desire, since no societal demands nor enforced laws will be placed upon them from the moment that the existing world order falls apart. And that unbridled evil also means that the elect will need to find their inner love for the real God and His real ways, then take a life-or-death stand against evil, for the sakes of their loved ones. People will become what they are inside, in the spirit. “Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand” (Dan. 12:10, WEB). None be able to live entirely through the minds of their flesh, comfortably letting their spirits fall into a dull stupor. All will develop awake spirits. Satan will awaken the evil spiritual desires of his human offspring, and God will awaken the spirits of His beloved elect heirs. So both will separate from one another. And that dichotomization process will be complete by the day that Jesus returns to rule over all the earth.

When the sixth seal’s era begins, God’s works of the first five seals—to illustrate and demonstrate the vast difference between His just and loving kingdom and Satan’s unjust and hate-filled world order, so He might also polarize the elect and non-elect—shall draw very near to its completion. In the end times, there will be more illustrations and demonstrations, with a much starker contrast. But, by the time of the sixth seal, none will be able to straddle the fence between Christianity and Satan’s

Page 557

Last Days Timeline

 

preferred religion of humanism any longer. Those with spirits born in the image of our loving God will reject humanism entirely, and become truly biblical Christians. But those with spirits born in the image of Satan will become ultimate humanists, taking up fascism, which involves the worship of the demonic beast and faith in all his lies. And, after God grants a true revival to His elect, and a true visible church consisting of only the awakened elect, whole nations will become Christian nations with democracies providing rights and freedoms through just laws, upholding physical and spiritual truths. And they will become refuges for God’s elect who are fleeing from Satan’s fascist kingdom.

Now, obviously, a world-wide earthquake and “stars” falling everywhere on earth have not yet occurred. Nothing like this was ever seen in the world since John penned these words. Therefore, we must conclude that the sixth seal and end times will happen in the future, but likely very soon. For the current fifth seal’s era seems to be drawing to a close. Logically, we might also speculate that the world-wide earthquake, accompanied by meteors falling to the earth, may possibly be caused by a very large asteroid passing close to the earth. Its gravitational pull could cause plates under the earth to shift, causing earthquakes in many locations all at once. Then the debris (rocks of various sizes) trailing behind a huge asteroid, due to its gravitational pull, would be attracted by the earth’s greater gravitational pull, and fall to the earth, as meteors. The smaller ones would burn in the atmosphere, depending on the speed of entry. But the larger debris would strike the earth as “falling stars,” some with tremendous force, like bombs. The burned small meteors themselves would deposit some dust in the atmosphere, but the larger meteors would throw up even more dust. Then volcanoes would also erupt as plates under the earth shift, spewing more smoke and dust into the atmosphere. Also, resulting massive forest fires would help to cloud the atmosphere. All this would completely blot out all sunlight in some places for a time. Even after most of it settled, dust and smoke would filter out light with shorter wave lengths (blue side of the spectrum) causing the moon to appear red as blood.

A naturally caused event like this could surely fulfill this prophecy perfectly. But a world-wide nuclear war would cause a somewhat different scenario, which is why I think John was speaking about a more natural event like a large asteroid passing near the earth. This would surely cause massive destruction around the world, and force all kinds of people to hide from the falling meteors, but would leave the earth habitable, while a nuclear winter would not. It would demonstrate God's wrath equally against all classes of people, rich and poor, to give all a chance to repent into the truth.

Of course, as some say, all these events may be caused by miraculous works of God, not by some natural cause like an asteroid passing close to the earth. But I think some kind of natural disaster like this would be the way God would choose to fulfill this prophecy. For God most often uses planned, created, predestined, natural causes to fulfill His prophecies, in order to prevent the non-elect from artificially repenting through superficial fear formed in their minds of flesh. And a natural event like an asteroid passing near the earth would better enable the non-elect to justify their apostasy. But the elect react to prophesied natural disasters differently, since they know God controls all the universe.

Of course, the elect are also prone to superstitiously fear God through their minds of flesh. Yet, when natural disasters like quakes, or even man-made disasters like wars and crimes, strike at their flesh, it also grabs the attention of their dulled spirits and wakes them up, causing true repentance. For even the most wayward elect spirits know their sovereign God controls and predestines all events. And their hearts realize that God’s ability to grant His people prophecies, the knowledge of these events before they occur, proves that He predestines and causes them. So, when a prophesied disaster occurs, it crushes their confidence in the flesh and forces their spirits to examine their whole being, until they realize the extent of their own lies, delusions and sins. They see the impoverished condition of their spirits and turn to God in repentance, seeking to be saved from the blindness of

Page 558

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

their own destructive delusions, and from the devastation caused by their sins. Consequently, their repentance is not just from fear in the mind of flesh, but true repentance in the minds of their spirits.

On the other hand, the non-elect usually dismiss and explain away any “natural” or man-made disasters, even ones that God accurately described thousands of years in advance through His prophets. Some of non-elect might fear God for a moment, and repent in a fleshy way, through fear in their minds of flesh, which is odious to God. Yet their dull minds of flesh soon begin to justify their sins. And then they tell themselves lies, that the prophesied event had only “natural” or human causes, and was not caused by God, as if God cannot cause nature or humans to do His will. So they can irrationally convince themselves that they, not God, controls their destinies. Only the elect are able to understand, through the spirit’s purer logic, that God is the first cause of all “natural” and man-made events. Only the elect see that everything is actually a miracle initially created by God’s supernatural power when He created all time at once, from its beginning to the end of the earth. But the irrational non-elect delude themselves into thinking a Creator God did not create nor cause anything, even though science tells them that all the future already exists. Thus, if the non-elect repent through fears of their flesh, they soon forget it, so they can resume their materialistic, self-serving, self-destructive ways. God hides verities from the non-elect, behind the opaque darkness of their delusions in their minds of flesh, although He reveals all His truths everywhere in plain sight.

God primarily works the repentance of His elect through natural events and earthly agents, and He also works vengeance against the evils of the non-elect through the manipulation of their decisions after casting them into delusions and by natural events. Everything we perceive in earthly life is a miracle worked by God’s power. The creation of the all physical and spiritual entities is a miracle which was planned and predestined from the beginning. Every moment on earth and in heaven is a miracle. And all our wretched self-absorption, ignorant pride, stupid anger, lies and sins are slapped down by the moments we are made able to see the verities of God’s creations. We need to remember this. We must learn to think rationally through the logical and rational minds of our elect spirits, to firmly ground ourselves in His extant material and spiritual realities, especially His spiritual truths.

The elect need to realize that the prophesied events of the sixth seal, with a world-wide earthquake and meteors striking the earth, will occur. For literally all the prophesied events about Jesus’ first advent, and hundreds of prophesied details about other historical events have all occurred, exactly as described in the prophecies, which were most often made hundreds of years before they occurred. In fact, materialists cannot believe that so many details of so many prophecies were fulfilled. So those materialistic and very religious humanists now try to reason that the prophets did not actually exist, then arrogantly proclaim that liars wrote the Scriptures after the prophesied events occurred, despite the fact that literally all evidence indicates that those prophets did indeed exist during the times they said they lived. Textual and archaeological evidence indicate that the prophets in those times. And the bias of materialist humanists, who think it is utterly impossible for so many details of so many prophecies to be fulfilled, is itself evidence that we can fully trust biblical prophecies. The events of the sixth seal will soon occur. The true church will be revived. And when it happens, there is no way it can be misconstrued as anything other than the events John prophesied about the sixth seal’s era.

Furthermore, no honest soul will be able to complain that the earth does not deserve to have these cataclysmic events thrust upon them. All the plagues of the end-times will be well-earned. In fact, everyone on earth has directly or indirectly murdered, exploited and sinned so much that they have earned a thousand times more wrath from God than those world-wide plagues will ever cause. But God, in His mercy for His elect, shall limit them and shorten the number of days that His children will need to endure them. Only now let the elect see themselves clearly, and how they participated in

Page 559

Last Days Timeline

 

all the vile sins of mankind on earth, how they too have caught all the spiritual diseases that have spread throughout the world throughout the past ages. The elect are equally responsible for virtually all that has now brought the earth to the brink of destruction, such as willfully believing liars and nurturing Satanic hatred against their siblings in the family of humankind. Let us now acknowledge this, and repent to the Creator God, who made us all, and who will crush the dark delusions of false religions, especially the irrational reasoning and propaganda of humanism. We will definitely know when the era of the sixth seal begins with its world-wide quake and meteors. Since this event was prophesied by God, most elect will also recognize it as the predestined wrath of Jesus against man’s inhumanity, injustice, hypocrisy and apostasy. So then, let the elect repent from all lies into the truth!

If anyone abandons truth, genuine justice and compassion towards the family of humankind, that one has abandoned God Himself. So God will abandon that one in the days after this sixth seal. Isaiah spoke about this. First Isaiah comforted the church of Israel by reminding them about God’s promise to let the Messiah rule all nations from a throne in Jerusalem (2:2-5). Yet Isaiah then described how the church would abandon their God, and how God would send terrible plagues upon them. All this was to occur just before the “Branch of the Lord,” Jesus, would restore Israel and heal her (4:2-6).

Isaiah 2:6-22 (ESV): “For You have rejected Your people, the house of Jacob, because they

are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands

with the children of foreigners. [These are prophecies about the ‘latter days’ (see v. 2). Isaiah begins with

a positive prophecy about the peaceful days when the Messiah rules the earth (vv. 2-5).] Their land is filled

with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and

there is no end to their chariots. Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of

their hands, to what their own fingers have made.

“So man is humbled, and each one is brought low—do not forgive them! Enter into the rock

and hide in the dust from before the terror of the Lord, and from the splendor of His majesty.

The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,

and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. For the Lord of hosts has a day against all

that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low; against all the

cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up; and against all the oaks of Bashan; against all the lofty

mountains, and against all the uplifted hills; against every high tower, and against every

fortified wall; against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft. And the

haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,

and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

“And the idols shall utterly pass away. And people shall enter the caves of the rocks and the

holes of the ground, from before the terror of the Lord, and from the splendor of His majesty,

when He rises to terrify the earth. In that day mankind will cast away their idols of silver and

their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,

to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of the Lord,

and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to terrify the earth. Stop regarding

man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?”

The first five verses of this chapter are obviously about the second advent of the Messiah Jesus. They prophesy that the Messiah will rule the earth from His temple in Jerusalem, from the modest “mountain of Yahweh.” And He will primarily rule us by teaching us His ways, telling why His ways produce the best long-term effects for all, and how they should be implemented. The law and the “word of Yahweh” will go out from Jerusalem. Then He will judge all disputes between nations, so

 

Page 560

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

there will be no more wars. Isaiah told us this first, so there would be hope for the elect who are entirely exasperated and frustrated with lying, murdering world around them. But then, beginning in the sixth verse, Isaiah describes the state of earth just before end times strike, that is, in this current era of the fifth seal, just before the sixth seal’s era begins. This current era is when the arrogance of mankind peaks, and the sixth seal’s era is when God begins to crush the pride of men, and when the elect turn back to God, after the lies of humanism are silenced for a brief time. Then God’s wrath will fall against the non-elect who refuse to repent into the truth, as the seventh seal’s era begins.

So, starting in verse six, Isaiah prophesied about the “house of Jacob” in “their land” during this current era of the fifth seal. For God rejected or abandoned them, for a time, until they would begin to turn back to Him, during the sixth seal’s era. And the first reason for His anger against Israel was due to their beliefs, “because they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers (Hebrew = anan, ‘to act covertly’ as ‘soothsayers’) like the philistines, and they strike hand with the children of foreigners.” So what did Isaiah, a man from the eighth century BC, mean by this, when God showed him what Israel would be like in the 20th and 21st centuries AD? Well, naturally, he likened the future sins of Israel to their sins back in his day. He spoke of how Israel adopted and syncretized traditions of the Assyrian Empire “from the east” (i.e., Assyria actually ruled or subdued nations on all sides of Israel at that time, but its heartland was in the east). Later, Assyria would become the Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman empires. And, just before the end times, in the 20th and 21st centuries, Israel would be “full of things” from the humanistic religion of Rome as well. Isaiah’s Israel also did not and would not practice transparency, but would hide critical and relevant information from their people and soldiers, like the Philistines did, or as the Russians and most Muslim nations do today. Then their secular and religious leaders struck deals with foreigners to make themselves wealthy, while those deals caused their own people, and others, to suffer. Such practices were occurring in Israel back then, in Isaiah’s day, just as they are today. So Isaiah described them in terms recognized during his time, to indicate why God would so often “reject” or forsake Israel in this fifth seal’s era.

Another thing Isaiah cited as a reason for God rejecting Israel was materialism, the virtual worship of money as their savior and god, instead of God. He said that Israel, in times just before the sixth seal’s era began, would be “filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures.” The people would ride on “horses” instead of walking, and “there is no end to their chariots” for all their soldiers. In the 20th and 21st centuries, this would be equivalent to cars and military vehicles. Then it is implied that this materialism leads to their “land” being “filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their own fingers have made.” In Isaiah’s day, this may have including literal idols crafted by their own hands. But in the fifth seal’s era, this would include making their war machines and their economic prowess into their savior and god, instead of God. They rely more upon their ability to exert brute force instead of using God’s wisdom and love to soften and entirely overcome unjust motives and intentions of their enemies, especially the hate of their false religions.

In the days of fifth seal, before the end times and the Messiah’s return, Israel shall be reprobate and sinful. Isaiah starts by describing their beliefs, what we now call syncretism, the merging of various doctrines and practices from several religions to form a new religion. Throughout history, the people of Israel absorbed the doctrines of pagans, then formed alliances with hose pagans and practiced elements of their false religions. This is prophesies something similar to the ecumenical movement of false churches today, which tries to convince people that totally opposing views are actually all the same, just different roads to the top of the same mountain. Then, at the same time, they also do the opposite, since they are duplicitous and hypocritical. The ecumenical movement has always tried to convince their people that mirror image of a false doctrine is a totally different doctrine. Then they

 

Page 561

Last Days Timeline

 

exhort everyone to choose the mirror image of the false doctrine, and oppose the real false doctrine, while also opposing the teachings of God’s Word—while God’s Word opposes both the mirror image and the real false doctrine. Everything about ecumenical movement is hypocritical and contradictory.

And the sins of the ecumenical movement are much like the sins of Israel. For instance, a church in the ecumenical movement might say their humanistic form of Christianity, as well as Roman Catholicism and all other forms of humanistic Protestantism, possibly even Judaism, Islam and Buddhism, are all equal religions, and all lead to the same god. Of course, only extremely dishonest, irrational souls could believe that! Clearly, the gods portrayed by the doctrines of each are vastly different, as are the effects of their practices. At the same time, most ecumenicists are pro-feminist capitalists who oppose chauvinism and communism. But both feminism and chauvinism are mirror images of exactly the same core humanistic doctrine, which monetizes human souls. The basis for pagan feminism is that the one who can gain more esteem, wealth and power in Satan’s world order, is superior to the one who is less esteemed, makes less money and has no power. And capitalism is simply one of many modes in Satan’s world order, which uses money to manipulate and subjugate the poor, making them virtual slaves to an elite few. So communism is the same as capitalism, just a mirror image of the same financial system, and bears the same results, where an elite few make virtual slaves of all the others through abusive and oppressive financial systems. But God’s Word equally condemns the doctrines of pagan feminism, chauvinism, capitalism and communism alike.

Since ecumenicism stands on the side of doctrines opposing God’s words, it opposes the real God too. The point is that truly biblical faith in the real God’s revealed truths cannot ever be syncretized with any man-made religions or doctrines from Satan’s world order. No matter what those false religions might claim to be, Judaism or Christianity, and no matter how they disguise themselves with thin veneers of religion, or how nicely their false doctrines are evangelized by golden tongued orators, they remain self-contradictory in their core beliefs and opposed to the real God. In the end, each must choose whether to believe the real God or to believe the puppets of Satan’s world order.

Now Isaiah loves the real God, and laments the fallen state of God’s church of Israel, both in his day and as it will be in the future. And that future time is the current era, just prior to the eras the sixth and seventh seals. It will be a time when Israel is prosperous, relative to other times, and powerful in terms of political and military might (symbolized by an abundance of horses and chariots), but also very apostate and idolatrous. And, at the present time, both Israel and the Gentiles brought into her throughout the world, are the same. Both Jews and Christians worships literally millions of idols, most of whom are mortal human beings, whom they have transformed into idols with their own hands and mouths. Every actor, every professional athlete, every billionaire crook, every fake preacher on television, every other notable religious or non-religious person is a god to esteem and serve. Their humanism has caused them to worship so many human beings that it is impossible to count the number of human gods worshiped by synagogues and “Christian” churches of our day.

Then there are the other three principal Roman, Greek, Persian, Babylonian and Assyrian gods worshiped by almost all synagogues and churches today: (1) Mammon, god of money, selfish ambition and greed; (2) Baal, god of sexual gratification and carnal power; and (3) Nebo, the arrogant god of worldly and false intellectualism, propagandizing rhetoric and deception through false reasoning. All three of these demons have been worshiped (esteemed and served) far more than the real God was ever worshiped in any of the synagogues or churches. Honestly, the idolatry of modern churches is so pervasive that it is astoundingly ridiculous. Truly they are a deluded people.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

Here Isaiah describes the beginning of the end times by saying, “So man is humbled, and each one is brought low—do not forgive them!” And God cannot forgive anyone who does not repent into the truth, because forgiveness is the restoration of His relationship with them, and He cannot restore a relation with them, as His beloved ones, while they keep on sinning against Him. Therefore, the entire world will need to suffer the events which initiate the era of the sixth seal, when earthquakes shake various parts of the entire world and meteors strike the earth, when everyone “hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. They told the mountains and the rocks, ‘[Bow over] us, and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” (Rev. 6:15-17, WEB). And Isaiah also described the era of the sixth seal and the end times heralding the Messiah’s return, in a similar way.

Isaiah prophesied, “Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of [Yahweh] and from the splendor of His majesty. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and [Yahweh] alone will be exalted in that day. For [Yahweh] of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low” (Is. 2:10-12, ESV). All the symbols of wealth and luxury would be taken away, together with their idolatry. “And the people shall enter the caves of the rocks, and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of [Yahweh], and from the splendor of Hi majesty, when He rises to terrify the earth. In that day mankind will cast away their idols … to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of [Yahweh], and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to terrify the earth” (Is. 2:19-20a,21, ESV). Then Isaiah gave us a prophecy of what idols the world would worship most when the terrors of the sixth seal strikes: “Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?” (Is. 2:22, ESV). And this definitely refers to Roman humanism.

Isaiah, a very loving man, was so appalled by the people’s sins that he prayed, “Do not forgive them!” Even he could not tolerate the blatant arrogance of Israel and the world, especially in the current fifth seal’s era, just before the start of the sixth seal’s plague of earthquakes and meteors striking the earth like bombs. Isaiah could not hold back his anger against the way human beings thought they could make themselves become superior to other siblings in the family of humankind, how they worshiped money and the works of their own hands as their saviors, how they bowed before wealthy psychopaths as to gods. And God had the same opinion as Isaiah, with the same anger. So the main purpose of this first of the end-time plagues, at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era, will be to humble mankind, to bring each individual low, ready to repent into realities about both themselves and God Himself. God would prove that human beings are not gods. Only He is God.

This prophecy clearly indicates that mankind will be extremely arrogant just before the end times begin, and that the vast majority of people will think too highly of themselves. And, actually, there has never been a time in all history when literally all of the world has been so deeply influenced by Roman humanism, never a time when each individual believes he or she has the power to control one’s own destiny, where each esteems oneself so highly and in such a delusional way that one thinks one can become a superior elite god in a hierarchy ruling over inferiors, instead of serving all others, like the prophets chosen by God did. Nor do the people want wise elders whom God has chosen to serve them for their own good, but want “leaders” who might grant them more power to become gods over other people. Never has mankind felt as though he owns and controls all things upon the earth, so much so that they have virtually corrupted or destroyed almost every square inch of the entire planet, including all the oceans and seas. Never have so many individuals demanded the gratification of their own lusts, thinking this is their right. Never have so many craved respect, fame

and false glory from other deluded human beings, instead of a humble, virtuous, self-sacrificing, loving life, which fulfills the destiny God preordained for oneself, solely to gain His good opinion.

But their proudly possessed homes and idols will be mercilessly ripped from their greedily grasping hands, by unforgiving and undiscriminating earthquakes. The very ground that always served them faithfully under their feet will turn against them. This, and meteors striking the earth will destroy the economic, military and political systems of the world, leaving the people to either form ruthlessly plundering gangs or form loving and wise coalitions of elect souls who have learned the frailty of all human beings, who have repented into the truths of God. Then the elect will know they are not gods who own lands or anything else, who can do whatever they like with God’s property, who must be good stewards of all things, sharing God’s property as God wills. For they will have experienced how they did not know when or where the next meteor would strike like a bomb, to kill them or their loved ones. And they will not be able to negotiate with or command God to stop His wrath against them. They will realize they are not in control of their own lives, as they once thought they were.

After this terrifying global humbling of mankind, a true revival of the elect will occur, based on God’s own interpretation of His Word. And the knowledge of the elect will not be affected. Not only will their digital information be preserved, but it will increase during the hiatus between the sixth and seventh seals. But the non-elect will not repent and will rebuild their unjust humanistic empires during this time as well. Consequently, the events of the seventh seal shall take place. And these world-wide events will not end until God accomplishes the complete destruction of Satan’s world order, especially all forms of Roman humanism, on the day Jesus returns to restore the entire earth.

When this prophecy says “the haughtiness of many shall be humbled … and [Yahweh] alone will be exalted in that day” (2:17), it would refer to a majority of the earth’s elect rejecting humanism and to the sixth seal’s revival after the initial plague of earthquakes and meteors. So both Isaiah’s prophecy and John’s prophecy align perfectly. This new esteem for Yahweh God, the Lord Jesus, shall grow until every place on earth where the elect dwell will see the real God exalted. And most of these elect will live to see Jesus rule the whole world, but none of the non-elect will live to see His reign upon the earth. Then the elect will continue to exalt Yahweh in Jesus, as their Lord, Owner, Teacher, Head and God. Then all elect Jews and Gentiles will be gathered together into Christ’s true church, where the Jews serve as the inner priesthood of the priesthood of Israel. And this revived church will greatly surpass the knowledge, wisdom, miracles and all other works of even the apostolic church.

This was John’s prophecy in the next verse following his prophecy about the sixth seal: “After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, saying, ‘Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!’” (Rev. 7:1-3, WEB). Of course, the four winds refer to the communications from “the four corners of the earth.” In Jewish literature, the term “wind” often referred to a concept, particularly a doctrinal teaching or tradition, which came from a distant place. So, when it says that the four angels caused “no wind to blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree,” it meant that no “tree” or elite person, no island on any sea, and nowhere else on earth would be able to communicate with others, outside of their own local people. And this state was to last until God and His ascended angel (messenger) will “have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads.” And, in biblical terms, the “sealing” of God’s “bondservants” on their “foreheads” meant that God would cause His elect, whom He owns, to repent into the truth, so all the thoughts of their minds of their spirits would be faithful to God. That is, it refers to a biblical and

Page 564

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

true revival of the elect. And another thing to notice is that the earth, sea or trees which survived the sixth seal’s earthquake and meteors would not be harmed until this sealing process had been fully completed. In other words, the plagues of the seventh seal would not begin until after the revival.

Even though all the nations on the earth today, together with all churches, have bowed to the prince of the world order and are now slandering God’s names everywhere on earth, God will crush their pride, leaving all those wanna-be gods struggling to rebuild their crumbled thrones. In spite of them, Jesus shall build up His priesthood on the earth once again. The non-elect will build up a few large humanistic kingdoms for themselves, including the beast’s European kingdom. But they will be factious, as usual. A northern kingdom will wage war against the beast and an eastern kingdom will wipe out a third of earth’s population, before they unite under the Roman beast. But truly Christian nations, meaning democracies which do not interfere with the harmless practices of non-believers, will provide safe refuge for the elect who flee from the fascist beast or his future humanistic allies.

Just notice this prophecy’s very strong emphasis against the “haughtiness” and “pride” of the people just before the sixth seal’s era begins. That is exactly how an eighth century BC prophet, filled with the Holy Spirit, would describe the principal attribute of those we now call humanists. For no false religion ever invented by Satan has ever stirred up the arrogance of mankind’s mind of flesh like the beast’s Roman religion of humanism. The very core cause of all sins of Satan himself is his arrogant desire to be a god, to do his will for his own purposes and to rid himself of the real God who sustains the very existence of his own spirit. Likewise, the non-elect spirits he made in his image want to be gods who can at least control their own destinies, where the few who can best bribe, cunningly trick or terrorize others into submission, then bind them under their own laws to suit themselves, will sit at the top of steep hierarchical systems, without any intervention or limitations imposed upon those elite by man, nor by the real Creator God, no matter how cruel, unjust and Satanic they may become.

Now Satan has basically abandoned his former fake religions, and primarily works through his most perfected religion of Roman humanism throughout the world, after colonizing most of the world through the ruthless conquests of his most demonically driven greedy children. Satan has caused each man to worship himself, as well as their elite human gods, as the only gods allowed to control everyone’s destinies through Roman laws serving those elite. Thus, most of humankind thinks this is the norm, how things should be, and these stupid, self-destructive, world-destroying ways need to exist or all life will perish. But that is not true. And, throughout history, even from apostolic times, God’s laws have been filtering into the world. Mostly, humankind becomes so arrogant through humanism that they ignores the just and loving laws and ways of God, then allow their worshiped elite to make laws to benefit themselves at the cost of other lives. But the brightness of God’s truth has convinced the masses, little by little, that the ways of Roman humanism are stupid and harmful. So Satan’s beloved psychopathic humanism has been chipped away so much over the centuries, by the just ways of God, that people no longer accept Rome’s slavery, cast systems, unjust vengeance, ruthless god of money, dehumanizing propaganda, worshiped elite in extreme hierarchies and so on.

At the same time, the non-elect humanists have increased their rants and lying propaganda against the real God, slandering Him with fervent zeal whenever they can. Their own vile, humanist, unjust, churches had invented false gods, whom they called by the names of the real God. So the secular humanists now use those fake churchy gods to blame their own crimes and sins on the real God. Or, if they cannot do that, they invent an evil-looking “straw man” and try to convince the people that the good, just and loving God is that evil “straw man.” They tell whatever lies are necessary to more fully exalt themselves and their hate-filled, unjust ways, while denigrating the real God and all of His just, equitable, wise, loving ways. They dress in the particular kinds of clothes needed to sway

Page 565

Last Days Timeline

 

their dupes, while building palaces and thrones to glorify themselves, and demanding the highest of esteem and submission from their equal or spiritually superior siblings in the family of humankind.

But mark my words, the goal of all humanists is to gain full deity, to be able to suppress, oppress, terrorize, imprison, beat, torture and kill anyone who opposes their petty and ignorant wills, or any who do not worship them as gods. Humanist never really want to serve for the good of their people, no matter how much they say they are serving them. They never want true justice, no matter how much they cry out loud about the evils of injustice towards themselves. They are never loyal to the people or nations they subvert to their own wills, because they want all to loyally worship them, as they are loyal only to themselves, then betray their people, the “patriots” in their nations. This is why we do not judge humanists by their lying words about themselves and their supposedly upright ways, but rather by their evil, self-indulgent, self-serving fruits of their lives. This is why we judge those who want to serve as our decision-making authorities by how loving, honest, humble and spiritually hard-working their souls have become through God’s shaping throughout their lives. And we never give anyone absolute power with impunity, since all humans are fragile, weak sinners. Since none can ever be perfect, we choose those who seem to be chosen by God and place safeguards even against them. For we trust in God and His just, loving ways, but we must not worship any human.

If anyone serves a humanist through unquestioning trust and higher esteem than for all other human beings, that one has completely forsaken the worship of the real God. For, if one cannot question a person, or criticize the words and deeds of that particular human being, then that human being has indeed become one’s highest god, and all other gods are lesser gods. But the real God maintains all that exists. All physical and spiritual realities began to exist and remain in existence through His power alone. So the real Creator God cannot change His will for anything or anyone, or His power would cease to cause that existence to exist. Thus, only the real God must remain the high God of everyone and everything. Consequently, anyone who blindly places their faith in a human god is a fool, and the human who accepts their worship as one who is greater than the real God is far greater fool. But the worst of fools should be granted no positions of decision-making authority over anyone or anything at any time, especially since Roman humanists all think justice is about getting revenge, so those kinds of fools will unjustly harm the innocent whenever they have an opportunity to display their power as gods. Yet most people sill foolishly believe the arrogant, stupid claims of humanists.

The insanity of the masses knows no bounds, since they so easily cast aside the real God and prefer to blindly worship fools who oppose the real God. Yet, at the same time, the real God has always chosen to work through the most humiliated and, thus, humble in the masses, through those whom the human gods of humanistic hierarchies love to rail against. All God’s truths throughout the past two thousand years have come through the lowliest of masses, starting with the hated Christians, who were all commoners and mostly non-citizens, who took up and cared for the “defective” babies abandoned on hills near their communities. Then this love for all souls, regardless of their physical traits, eventually stopped that humanistic practice. And loving, godly works of the lowliest in the masses, those elect who served the real God more than human gods, has been eroding and chipping away at Satan’s Roman humanism ever since. So Satan may rile up the masses for this or that evil work for short periods of time. But God and His truths have also been steadily advancing through the lowliest of the masses, who inner consciences of their spirits were made able to hear His Holy Spirit.

Yes, there are still many elect taken captive by Satan’s Roman humanism, who still think only with their minds of flesh and crave the carnal rewards offered by human gods more than the spiritual blessings of God in heavenly places. God handed all the non-elect and even some proud elect over to the delusions and lies taught to their souls by Satan, for the destruction of their flesh. The results

Page 566

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

have always been war after war, as human gods strive to steal what other human gods possess, even though all is actually possessed by the real God, and all their striving is based on delusions. So those human gods will continue to oppress, causing violence, painful starvation, grievous losses, murders, devastation, extreme suffering and needless deaths. And most still will not turn to God. In their blind arrogance, each worships self, and each worships some other human being as their highest god. Most humans do not think or learn much of anything valuable to life. But the terrifying end times will stop all that ignorance. God will thoroughly humble mankind and His Holy Spirit will forcefully bypass the unwilling minds of flesh in the elect, to speak directly to their spirits, causing their great revival.

Isaiah 3:1 to 4:1 (ESV): “For behold, the Lord [Yahweh] of hosts is taking away from

Jerusalem and from Judah support and supply, all support of bread, and all support of water;

the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder, the

captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skillful magician and the expert in

charms. And I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them. And the people

will oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be

insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable. For a man will take hold of his

brother in the house of his father, saying: ‘You have a cloak; you shall be our leader, and this

heap of ruins shall be under your rule’; in that day he will speak out, saying: ‘I will not be a

healer; in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; you shall not make me leader of the

people.’

“For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their deeds are

against [Yahweh], defying His glorious presence. For the look on their faces bears witness

against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they

have brought evil on themselves. Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they

shall eat the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his

hands have dealt out shall be done to him. My people—infants are their oppressors, and

women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up

the course of your paths.

“[Yahweh] has taken His place to contend; He stands to judge peoples. [Yahweh] will enter

into judgment with the elders and princes of his people: ‘It is you who have devoured the

vineyard, the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing My

people, by grinding the face of the poor?’ declares the Lord [Yahweh] of hosts. [Yahweh]

said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing

wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet, therefore the

Lord will strike with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay bare

their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands,

and the crescents; the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; the headdresses, the armlets,

the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; the signet rings and nose rings; the festal

robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans,

and the veils. Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and

instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth; and

branding instead of beauty.

“Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle. And her gates shall lament

and mourn; empty, she shall sit on the ground. And seven women shall take hold of one man

in that day, saying, ‘We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be

called by your name; take away our reproach.’”

This prophecy (Is. 3:1 to 4:2) follows after the prophecy about the days of sixth seal (2:9-22), and just before the prophecy about the “branch of Yahweh” (Messiah) coming to the “survivors of Israel.” So this is a prophecy about how God will “humble” Israel during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, including the times before and after the beast conquers the Middle East. The whole land of Israel will fall into chaos, into a very immoral and impoverished state, because Israel took spoils from the poor into their homes, because they were “crushing [God’s] people, by grinding the face of the poor.” Now remember that there are many elect among the Egyptians and the lands held by the ancient Assyrians, which includes Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and other areas. For, according to other prophecies, all those lands will convert to pure, biblical Christianity and worship Yahweh Jesus in the end times, likely beginning in the sixth seal’s era. So this prophecy would be about how Israel had treated those people, God’s people, including the Egyptian and Assyrian people in Gaza and the West Bank, and how God will judge them during the end times, in the sixth and seventh seals’ eras.

All current Jews seem to be humanists in the present time, both the religious and secular Jews. In the Old Covenant branch of the church of Israel, rabbis in their synagogues esteem themselves like the gods of the people, just as priests and pastors do in the humanistic, fake “Christian” churches. But, after governments fall during world-wide cataclysmic events of the sixth seal, Israel will become a “heap of ruins.” Young men, who are here called “boys,” “infants” and the “youth,” will have the strength to take over the land, likely forming the usual myopic, self-serving gangs. And, when the young hold power, they generally want immediate gratification for their flesh, in very short-sighted ways. They do not want wisdom, which lays long-term plans and builds for the future well-being of all, even for generations in the distant future. Besides, all such wisdom comes from God alone, and even their elders refuse to learn that kind of wisdom from God. Their humanistic elders spent their entire lives indulging in the short-term gratification of their own deluded desires, and definitely reject true justice worked through God-like love. But the ancient Jewish prophets and apostles diligently sought wisdom from God, for the sakes of their people and all future generations. Thus, there will be some Jews among them, including 144,000 virgin Jewish males, who will listen to the prophet and apostles, who will hear God’s Holy Spirit, then repent into the truths of Yahweh Jesus. But it seems that most of these will be martyred before Jesus returns, either by other Jews or by the beast’s armies during the end times. Thus, most Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora will remain apostate until Jesus returns to kill the non-elect among them, and cause the repentance of elect Jews.

With no wise elders, the young people will have no one to reason with them, to turn them from their unwise ways. So the most ruthless and aggressive youths, who are able to grasp a “cloak” for themselves, will be called to lead a “house,” which is the ancient way of indicating what we would now call synagogue, church or a “gang family.” And a “cloak” was very expensive in those days, so Isaiah used the example of a “cloak” to indicate a successful plunderer during this time of chaos, And the “house” likely was a gang family. Ruthless gang of young men will be led by “princes” or gang leaders. Thus, “the people will oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable.” Actually, it will be like that in many parts of the earth, for the sixth seal will destroy infrastructures, governments, police forces, military forces and all that keeps order. Only in lands where the elect have learned to love one another in equitable ways because they hear God and cooperate for the mutual good of all, will there be any justice and order. Then the elect will be strong and form whole truly Christian nations, democracies that provide rights and freedoms for all, even for the law-abiding non-elect.

But humanism does not provide any foundation for truth, justice, order and love for the people, so its humanly invented and enforced laws are disregarded as soon as human gods can no longer uphold

 

Page 568

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

them. Only God eternal principles of real justice and love remain standing even when societies become broken and dysfunctional, because God’s Holy Spirit still causes the inner consciences of awakened elect spirits to maintain the same fulfilled Law that His Spirit has taught to them. Only in lands where enough elect are awakened and work together through the love of their spirits, will some semblance of true justice and order prevail. And, if those groups of elect will grow strong enough to stand while humanistic groups fail, one after another, then those elect will take over whole nations.

So the humanists of Israel and all other lands will no longer possess even a scant semblance of truth, justice and order after the cataclysmic events of the sixth seal occur, nothing that will be able to sustain even a shadow of love, inner unity and true justice, not after their government’s humanistic justice, military and financial systems fail. Nothing will be left except the chaos of gang rule, with various factions of religious and secular gangs. And the chaos will become so intimidating that even those whom the other young men choose to be their leaders will say, “I will not be a healer; in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; you shall not make me leader of the people.” Even the most strong, capable and ruthless plunderer will feel unable to be “a healer” of his gang family, the one who brings order out of chaos into his gang. Then each individual will strive to gain food and other necessities for himself alone, after none will take on the responsibility of providing for everyone in a “house” or gang. So even the gangs will break apart and fail. All will suffer greatly and many will die from the collapse of all current governments and systems caused by the sixth seal’s world-wide earthquake and striking meteors. The resulting chaos will kill far more than the cataclysm itself.

Yet, in many of the elect, a true revival will also impart genuine life from God. So, in some parts of the world, whole nations will restore order through the true Christian churches that rise up within them. But, in other nations, the most ruthless of men will seize power, setting the stage for the beast’s arrival. However, Israel will have a significant number of elect who will be revived during the sixth seal’s revival, although not enough to take over their land. So they will not become a truly Christian nation, like Egypt and the ancient Assyrian land all around them. But neither will they become a nation which worships the beast. Rather, the beast will hate them, but the truly Christian nations will support their right to remain an independent nation until Jesus returns to eliminate the non-elect Jews and cause all their survivors, who will all be elect Jews, to finally repent to Jesus.

Again, this is talking about the state of Israel as the end times begin. And, again, it alludes to what we now call the religion of humanism in their land. Of course, Isaiah’s focus is on Israel, which is the center stage and where Jesus will return, the fulcrum of the lever which bears the weight of the whole world’s salvation. Yet we must realize that the entire earth will indeed suffer at this time, as John later explained to us in the Revelation he received from Jesus. Here Isaiah states that the reason Israel shall fall is because they spoke and acted against God, defied God, and arrogantly preached sin. This is not only what the secular Jews have done, but also what the most zealous religious Jews have done as well. For all are humanists. The unjust laws and ways of the orthodox Jews, based on man-made rule upon rule found in the Talmud, are the very same things Jesus condemned when He walked among us in a body and asked them, “Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? ... So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me; in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men’” (Mat. 15:3,6-9, ESV). We need to realize that teachings of the Talmud have not changed in any significant way since the days when Jesus walked among us in a body of flesh. So the orthodox Jews are still teaching exactly the same humanistic lies which Jesus condemned in the first century.

And the reformed churches of the Jews are worse, more secular and humanistic than the others. So Isaiah’s description of both the religious and secular Jews in Israel during the times of the sixth and seventh seals is truly accurate and exactly what we can expect Israel to be like after the cataclysmic events of the sixth seal. Isaiah perfectly described Israel as it exists in our day and what they will be like during the end times, until Jesus returns. But Isaiah also described the whole world too, all the humanistic, fake, so-called “Christian” churches, as well as all the nations of the world. God will take away “support and supply, all support of bread, and all support of water; the mighty man and the soldier, the judge and prophet, the diviner and the elder, the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor and the skillful magician and the expert in charms.” Some of the titles Isaiah gave to those whom he saw in the future may be different. Today we might call a “prophet” or a “diviner” a researcher in a university, or we might call a “skillful magician and expert in charms a medical doctor and technician. But the point he made in this prophecy remains the same; the entire structure of society will break down after the cataclysmic events of the sixth seal. The earth will be in chaos.

And the whole humanistic earth will also suffer because they too committed basically the same kinds of sins. So, as the end-time plagues begin to strike the earth with the sixth seal’s cataclysmic events, “The look on their faces bears witness against them ... Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.” And God will tell them: “The spoil of the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing My people, by grinding the face of the poor.” So God will indeed crush their arrogant ways which crushed their siblings in the family of humankind, without mercy for those they themselves had caused to fall into poverty by their criminal negligence and failures to take on their social duties and responsibilities. Since their governments failed to do God’s just and equitable works, those governments and all their corrupt systems will be disabled first, at the beginning of the end times.

When all this devastation and chaos falls on the earth by the hand of God, the elect who trust in God and believe His words, will receive righteous love in their spirits from God. And these will be the only ones who will still have a genuine hope remaining in their souls, a hope based on a firm foundation of God’s irrevocable and certain promises, which shall be fulfilled by His irresistible power and wisdom. With this hope, they will build up the ruins again, in preparation for the return of Jesus. So “it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.” But the surviving non-elect spirits, born of Satan, will know their time is short, as will their father, the prince of the atmosphere surrounding the earth. So the non-elect will try make their own hope and destiny, since they will be humanists who think they are gods. They shall build up their humanistic kingdoms with zeal, so they can once again oppress others for their own profit and glory. They will beat down and kill all who stand in their way, all who even utter a whisper against their injustice and psychopathic cruelty. And from these non-elect, one fascist kingdom will be reborn in Europe, worshiping the beast, to which all the other humanistic nations shall eventually bow. But, in the end, Jesus shall return to them what their hands have dealt out. All the wicked shall be taken away from the earth

Isaiah tells us that, in the days after the sixth seal’s earthquakes and striking meteors, “infants shall rule over them.” And this is not in a good way. Young men and women will “oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable.” The youth shall become tyrants, demanding that others serve their wills, as gangs often do. But it seems that this will be God’s punishment for the wickedness of humanistic elders and honorable men. “What his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.” And, “Yahweh has taken His place to contend; He stands to judge the people.” But make no mistake, this will occur all over the entire earth, everywhere that people refuse to repent from humanism into God’s just ways.

This seems to be prophesying a day when humanistic gangs, which is what Rome actually was, will rule Israel and other lands, plundering whomever they have the power to overcome. And this will also be a time when “women rule over” the people. Women have flesh which is more concerned about physical matters than about spiritual principles. This can be very helpful and some intelligent and good-hearted women are needed in every governing body, to fill in what the intelligent and good-hearted men in that body miss. However, all final decisions must be based on a right balance of spiritual principles which God assigns to some men, but taking into account the physical matters that women are best at observing and communicating. So women are never able to set up and maintain a balanced, consistently just and equitable spiritual and moral structure for themselves and the people, since they are “hardwired” to be far more concerned about physical logistics and relationships than they are concerned about the principles necessary for maintaining justice and peaceful co-existence.

Thus, in a time of chaos, and in places where no godly, spiritual, moral foundation exists, where an extremely myopic and humanistic people care about nothing except superficial logistics and relationships to gratify their immediate needs or desires, the leadership of women is preferred. And all humanists lie and contradict themselves. So a land with humanistic women focused only on the physical aspects of their own lives, whose male “guides mislead” them and “have swallowed up the course” required for their salvation, their female guides will mislead them and nullify the path to salvation in even worse ways. It is one thing to have women like Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with well defined spiritual and moral structures, serving in a government. But it is evil to allow self-willed women like Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert, with no spiritual or moral structure at all, to serve in a government. And the long-term welfare of the people is jeopardized by those female leaders who do not receive spiritual and moral counsel from good men and do not let good men define the spiritual and moral structure of their lives. With self-willed women like that, there is no hope of receiving any true justice, and their duped people are merely walking on a steep slope made very slippery with lies, very near the edge of death. When such women rule, those very women themselves become far more exploited, oppressed and abused by cunning and ruthless men.

But carnal souls of a godless land feel that their unseen but certain imminent destruction is a small price to pay for the immediate gratifications of their lusts and appetites of their flesh. Already most have almost destroyed their own lives and the world around them. They have cast themselves into futility. But that is only the beginning. God has walked to His throne in His court and now stands there to pronounce His judgments. And His judgment will condemn most people on earth to death. With one heavy blow after another, God is sending the plagues of end times to all lands, and those plagues of natural and man-made disasters will kill more than two thirds of the earth’s population.

In the end, not one of the non-elect shall escape His wrath, until all are dead at the end of that day when He returns to the earth. In our day, criminals have become the heads of states, and gather their families of criminals to their side to help them exploit their siblings in the family of humankind, the people whom they are supposed to serve. God ordained that only His chosen servants, priestly and humble judges, must rule the people. He commanded, “you shall surely set him whom [Yahweh] your God chooses as [a decision-making authority] over yourselves. You shall set as [a decision-making authority] over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother” (Deut. 17:15, WEB). So the people were only to allow God’s chosen servants into positions of decision-making authority, men like Moses and his council, Joshua and his council, Samuel and his disciples, David and his council. These were godly men, recognizable by their fruits, by their words and deeds for God and His creations, those whom God had clearly taught and trained for the job. And such a man was to be a “brother,” either a convert or Jewish person who

 

Page 571

knew the God of Israel, like the people of Israel were during the Exodus, not a worshiper of other gods. It had to be one who stood for God’s just, equitable principles, not one who opposed them.

A decision-making authority also must not be greedy and self-serving, must not use his authority to “acquire for himself excessive silver and gold” (Deut. 17:17, ESV), but serve the people for their benefit. And this is why he was also expected learn God’s ways and laws (17:18-19), “that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, either to the right hand or to the left” (17:20, ESV). Rulers must labor to bring justice, peace, order, unity and joy to the people, to ensure that the needs of the poor and marginalized are met. But now we have many self-seeking, selfishly ambitious rulers who bring injustice, conflict, chaos, factions and heartbreak to the people, as they grind the faces of the poor into the ground. Even fake churches support those criminals, since their own pastors are criminals too. So how can anyone think that the plagues of the end times will pass them by? Do they think God is as evil as they are themselves? Do they somehow think God will fail to justly condemn criminal like the pastors and political authorities whom God sent them to punish them, then also fail to condemn the wicked people who support them? No! God “will enter into judgment,” and not one of those criminals shall escape His wrath.

The elect should not lulled into a dark and deluded way of thinking by Satan’s world order. For the injustice of Satan and his demon Mammon are not natural, never to be accepted as the norm. All His earthly creations convince us to hate and repel those unjust ways, and His fulfilled Law in Jesus definitely does the same. Then the humanistic world order portrays history as humanly controlled and developed by humans, as though humans were gods who ordained those events to happen. But God and all reality proves that all history played out according to way those supposedly god-like human gods were manipulated and controlled by external circumstances and forces. And science proves that all the past and future exist simultaneously, as one huge predestined array of events. So the portrayal of history by humanists is a total delusion. We clearly see, and know with all certainty, that history has been a series of events utterly manipulated and controlled by God, and always used as a teaching tool for His elect, with His judgments against evil and His blessings for true justice and equity. Each individual life is a product of multitudes of factors beyond the control of anyone’s will.

God has been carefully manipulating and controlling many trillions of factors to produce each individual’s destiny. For all human beings are far too stupid, powerless, blind and vain to carry out any kind of complex plan to a conclusion through their own ignorant “free wills” in their minds of flesh. Humans can never really cause or control any action, either destructive or constructive, to produce a desired result, solely through any kind of an unmanipulated, uncoerced, omniscient, omnipotent and truly free will. Everyone’s will has been entirely shaped by externals, and can do nothing without that shaping. And everyone’s plan will fail whenever God wills it, since one tiny unforeseen detail can derail a plan in a moment. No one has the knowledge and power to cause events to occur whenever they want them to occur. Only God is truly omniscient and omnipotent.

We know that God allows some to be taken captive by their own delusions and arrogance, especially by their Satan-like desire to be their own gods. God lets many think they control their own destinies, or even the destinies of God’s other creations. From the beginning, men oppressed other siblings and ruled over them through terrorism in criminal gangs, threatening others with imprisonment, torture and death, in order to force them to obey their sinful, ignorant wills. Yet it is God who allows this, for the sakes of His elect, to make them aware of the difference between a life that worships man and a life that worships God. God punishes a land where the elect ignore just love and live according to their flesh. And His punishment is a delusion, causing them to follow the evil leaders they deserve.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

But God also blesses a land where His elect walk according to their spirits, where those spirits hear His voice and act through just love, according to the way their spirits have been taught by God. God will raise those people up, teach them how to avoid evil or justly defend themselves against evil, in wise ways that accomplish His will on earth. God can bless His people with their daily bread, along with the grace of His forgiveness, as they forgive the repentant and help to justly restore the losses of sins. God can lead His listening people away from temptations and deliver them from evil too. But His potentially just and loving elect are God’s only truly beneficial wage given to a land. So, if His elect fall asleep and their spirits ignore His Spirit, God may allow the wicked to rule, to lead the land into destruction through wars, oppression and horrors of every kind. God will let strong-willed egos exert whatever delusional, destructive power they can against other vile egos of the same persuasion.

Those vain egos are the so-called “great” men and women in Satan’s world order, but are actually mere mindless and blind puppets of demons and other humans. And most will never be able to see the full reality of God’s spiritual and physical creations, nor know that all other human beings are their equals in terms of weaknesses and sins. Most will never know that God has made all souls needy, so all might seek Him with humility from the heart, or that God allows those who stubbornly follow their own carnal, ignorant, corrupt wills of flesh to destroy themselves and others. Nor do they truly realize that all the arrogance of men will indeed be dealt with on the judgment day, in ways far worse than His punishments on earth. Then their previous troubles and terrors on earth will seem very mild compared to the fires of Christ’s wrath burning their whole souls on the judgment day. For on that day in the spiritual realm and in spiritual bodies, the pain will be entirely real, inside the spirit itself, not merely in earthly flesh. Now let us remember all this as we face the future trials.

God Seals the Elect

The Revelation prophesied more about the events of the sixth seal’s era than it did about all the eras of the previous five seals put together. Yet this was only a fraction of what it prophesied about the era of the seventh seal. This clearly indicates that the eras of the sixth and seventh seals will be the climax of earth’s history. So, a world-wide earthquake, which would be a series of earthquakes in different areas around the world, and striking meteors will initiate the era of the sixth seal, and will disrupt the economics and governing of nations throughout the world. But the main event during this era will be the repentance and revival of the true church. Most of God’s elect on the earth will repent to Him. Finally, they will honestly and faithfully trust in Jesus and His words. Just as its cataclysmic events will be world-wide, so will this revival be world-wide. This revival’s purpose will complete the separation or dichotomization of the elect from the non-elect on earth, and prepare the elect for history’s greatest tribulations during the seventh seal’s era. And I should repeat once more that this current fifth seal’s era is to prepare the elect for the sixth seal’s revival after its cataclysmic events.

Revelation 7:1-3 (ESV): “After this [i.e., after the initial events of the sixth seal, just after the world-

wide earthquakes with meteors striking the earth] I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the

earth [the four corners signify all parts of the world], holding back the four winds of the earth that no

wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending

from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to

the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, 'Do not harm the

earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.'”

When this prophecy declares that four powerful heavenly servants of God hold back “the four winds of the earth,” this does not refer to physical winds but to spiritual “winds.” For, if all physical winds ceased, the earth would perish. And spiritual winds, like physical winds, are sporadic, coming from

 

Page 573

Last Days Timeline

 

every direction, especially in these current days of instant communications and air travel. That is, spiritual winds include both good and bad religious, moral and lifestyle teachings or doctrines. For example, the apostles spoke of the ways in which the spiritually ignorant are “tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error” (Eph. 4:14, WEB, cf., John 3:8; Acts 2:2; James 1:6; 3:2-4; Jude 1:12). In other words, when the four spiritual winds cease, communications of spiritual and moral teachings from other parts of the world will cease. For we will no longer be able to instantly communicate with teacher from other parts of the world through technology, since the infrastructures on earth, as well as all satellites, will be destroyed by earthquakes and meteors. And travel will be almost impossible in the chaos of those days. Thus, only the information we have preserved from the fifth seal’s era (when knowledge had increased, as Daniel prophesied) will remain in each local area. And only local computers running on personal power sources, along with books and verbal communications, will provide our information.

Considering the way the other Scriptures used these figurative terms, this holding back of the four winds must refer to a command of God to nullify all the influential spirits and powers of demons and men everywhere on earth. Likewise, terms like the “earth,” “sea” and “trees” also figuratively represent people of influence (“trees”) or the people being influenced (“earth” and “sea”) as discussed below. But the most critical figurative phrase we need to understand is how we, the elect, will be sanctified “with the seal of the living God.” In various Scriptures, especially the New Testament, God’s “seal” upon a person held a definite, particular, ecclesiastical meaning. If one was “sealed” by God, it meant that God had declared His ownership of that one, and that the “sealed” one’s spirit experientially knew God, then served God as one’s only Lord. It indicated salvation and a full spiritual awakening. Every sealed one receives all that accompanies God’s ownership, all that accompanies salvation, that is, God’s personal teaching and training of one’s spirit, along with the ability to express love in the ways God ordained one to express it, accompanied by His great power.

Because of the figurative language used in the above Scripture, we must diligently search for its true meaning. And if we do, we conclude that the four winds held back or seized by four angels cannot be physical winds. In John’s day, they believed the winds came and went as they pleased, from any place and any direction, traveling to unknown destinations, just like the spirits of angels and demons (e.g., John 3:8). And, of course, “the four corners” are themselves figurative, another way of saying that the angels are standing in locations that are an equal distance from one another on what they called the “circle” or round earth, so they could see all upon the earth and could affect every place existing on earth. Now, since John did not mean that stopping four physical winds would serve God’s purpose in sealing His people, these winds must be spiritual, and not in a good way, if God wanted them to stop before He could sanctify His elect. They must have been bad spiritual winds which God did not want to interfere with the teachings of His Holy Spirit, until sufficient time passed. Then His elect would become strong enough to stand in the winds of all false teachings.

To harmonize this passage with other Scriptures, we need to remember that the Greek word πνεῦμα means either “spirit” or “wind,” and the Hebrew word ruach also means either “spirit” or “wind.” And, throughout the history of the church, even from the days of Abraham, the “wind” held spiritual connotations in the Scriptures and in the church. God’s Holy Spirit was a “wind” that came upon His people. Likewise, spirits or winds of false doctrines and lies blew the wicked in every direction, off of the path to their salvation, into their own destruction. God’s Word calls the thoughts and teachings of men “winds” (e.g., Job 8:2; Eph. 4:14). All these originate from various spirits and blow in the world like winds, often for centuries, sometimes growing into destructive hurricanes. The people of this world have been blown in every direction by “winds” of God, demons and men, caused to do all

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

kinds of deeds, good or evil. The precepts from spirits have been manipulating, overpowering and deluding people since God first created a human spirit in His own image, and Satan did the same.

Through human agents, demonic spirits often caused the masses to believe moronic lies which led to the most ruthless and irrational sins imaginable. But God’s Holy Spirit sometimes causes the masses to come to their senses, to accept a wise truth or two, which leads to beneficial blessings. So some of the elect learned to discern between the spirits, although most did not. But demonic spiritual powers, influencing the masses through the false teachings of their human agents have continued to blow around the world throughout history, and will only be suppressed in the sixth seal’s era. That is, the false teachers will lose their power, especially when their money becomes worthless after economies collapse. And people will lose faith in those useless parasites, when those carcasses are forced to stay and work with all the others just to survive in small local areas, when everyone truly gets to know the true worth of every individual. The activities of deceivers everywhere on earth will be severely hindered, and their propaganda based on various pagan philosophies and false religions will prove to be utterly ineffective and useless during those times. The influence of false teachers will temporarily cease after the world-wide earthquakes, accompanied by meteors bombing the earth. Above all, this symbolic ceasing of the four winds shall especially silence the beast’s Roman religion of humanism.

In context, when the prophecy said “no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree,” all these nouns seem to be figurative, with a distinction made for the final term, “tree.” In this kind of ecclesiastical figurative sense, the “earth” sometimes referred to the stronger or free people of the world, those with some decision-making power over their own lives and some authority to act independently, those who followed their own desired destinies. Then the word “sea” sometimes represented the meeker slaves, serfs and subservient masses who had little or no control over their own lives, the souls who blindly flowed with the currents of the world’s doctrines and powers, without questioning whether they were just, effective or even rational. Later, an angel actually told John that the “waters” figuratively represented people like this (Rev. 17:15). So John’s prophecy elsewhere uses these same terms to portray stronger and freer individuals or the meeker masses, such as when the devil stands with one foot on the “earth” and one foot on the “sea,” or when the beast rises out of the “sea” (i.e., likely indicating that the beast comes from the masses, not from the elite).

Then this prophecy distinguishes the word “tree” by placing it in the phrase, “against any tree.” In an ecclesiastical figurative language, the “tree” represents a ruler or any kind of influential person who rises above the “earth,” born of free, self-directed parents. It indicates the elite of the world order, who are usually wicked (e.g., Ps. 37:35; Dan. 4:20-22). Again, considering all this, we may conclude that this passage figuratively indicates that every teaching or “wind” of doctrine, and all activities related to the application of them, will temporarily cease after the world-wide earthquakes and after the meteors strike the earth. All the people of the world order—all the meeker masses collectively (i.e., the “sea”), all selfishly ambitious souls who strive to grasp a place in the world order (i.e., the “earth”), and all the leading influencers (i.e., the “trees”) will be silenced, to allow for the sealing of the saints. For all will be in chaos. Governments, economies, communications, travel and so on will be destroyed or disrupted for some time. So who will have the power to manipulate the masses when none bear titles to property since no judges will exist to uphold those rights? All will either form gangs, who will kill one another off and have many deserters, or else form strong communities bound together by love in just, equitable, stable relationships, which is only possible among God’s elect. And, since the pause between the sixth and seventh seals will be about 20 years, there will be time for the communities of elect to learn many truths and grow very strong. Sp, after the powerful and influential non-elect of Satan’s world order recover and start “blowing” again, they will not be

 

Page 575

Last Days Timeline

 

able to deceive the true church of the elect any longer. This event of having “sealed the servants of God” will permanently purified God’s elect, will have formed a true church to faithfully serve Jesus.

Stopping the four winds is absolutely necessary before God “seals” the hearts of His people. For His children must have time to thoroughly digest and absorb His teachings in their spirits, time to apply the teachings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit and experience their blessings, so that His ways become firmly established inside them. First His people must see the whole of His truth, and comprehend how it all effectively fits together to produce good for all. But, in the present time, Satan’s world order keeps the elect too distracted with a bombardment of propaganda, and too busy with meaningless activities, to allow their spirits to hear the real Holy Spirit right now. First God must silence the world to seal His elect. After that, the world can continue to blow its irrational, delusional thoughts in every direction again, to propagandize the non-elect with its vain foolishness for their own destruction.

Remember how the truth of God’s Word was established upon the earth through Jesus and His well-taught apostles. But was soon extinguished by strong “winds,” especially by humanistic false doctrines of the beast’s Roman Empire, “through [its] philosophy which is empty delusion” (Col. 2:8). After the first generation of the true visible church passed away, that beautiful creation of Christ died. But this time, the true visible church must exist until the earth ends. So, this time, a world-wide earthquake and striking meteors will first temporarily silence the influencing powers of Satan’s world order, at least long enough for God’s church to build an adequate solid foundation on the rock of the Messiah Jesus and His true teachings. Then the elect will look back on the dark times of the fake churches and say, “Never again!” After the winds of the world order are allowed to blow again, the vain, deluded deceivers will not be able to hijack His church, like they did the first time, in the first century. This ceasing of the four winds will be allow the church to be made ready for the terrors of the seventh seal and Jesus’ return (Rev. 19:7-8). And He will return soon, after only about 20 years of plagues from the seven trumpets and seven bowls of wrath. So His church will remain pure.

The “servants of God,” who are sealed during this time, will include most of the elect on the earth, and most will have abandoned the current fake humanistic churches, who are all showing their true colors as the fifth seal’s era is ending. Yet almost all God's elect in the world at that time will know that the world-wide earthquakes and striking meteors were caused by Jesus, by “the Lamb.” So some true teachings of Jesus will be publically distributed around the world by then. As a result, most of the elect will respond by praying more earnestly, straight from the spirit in the heart. Most will repent into a knowledge of His truth and begin to worship Him honestly, from their spirits. They will become aware of the spiritual realities existing all around them and see how terrible man’s delusions and sins truly are, especially the humanistic lies taught by the Great Prostitute and her daughters.

God’s Holy Spirit will be the only “wind” allowed to blow upon the earth at that time. Jesus will finally send His own uncompromising Spirit into their hearts, to awaken the elect, to open the eyes of their spirits, to teach and train them in His loving ways. Clearly, this sealing means that many elect will repent to become faithful “servants” of God after this. So they will abandon the deceiving doctrines of men. And, by the way, the Greek perfect tense of the participle form of the verb σφραγίζω indicates a permanent sealing. Then its passive voice is a theological passive, meaning that this sealing will be done by God Himself. So this sealing of the elect saints will not be just another fake “revival” that stirs temporary emotions of the flesh. Rather, God will permanently take the responsibility of owning their spirits in their hearts, permanently change their lives, causing them to see all aspects of life a new way. God will train them to use His truths effectively with true wisdom and through God-like love. And they will become a strong, effective, world-wide priesthood of God.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

Now John said he “heard the number of the sealed.” But then he only mentioned 144,000 elect, male, virgin Jews from the twelve tribes of Israel, and listed the number from each of the twelve tribes (Rev. 7:4-8). Now, regarding this list, notice that the tribes of Dan and Ephraim are not mentioned. For the tribe of Ephraim was simply called “Joseph” here. And, during the Babylonian captivity, Dan was incorporated into the three tribes of Gad, Asher and Naphtali. Now, when John gave the number from each tribe, it was through a linguistic method, in the Greek language, of indicating that his numbers were literal. The redundant repetition (indicating exactly the same number from each tribe) was a literary device used to ensure that we would not assume that the numbers were figurative or approximations, but that they were indeed accurate numbers. If they were figurative or approximate, John would have written this passage far more briefly, by simply statting there were 144,000, and 12,000 from each tribe. He would not have written it this way.

Grammatically, we are to take the number of 144,000 literally, exactly 144,000 Israelites, no more and no less. And there will be exactly “twelve thousand” from each tribe, no more and no less. Yet we must realize that these 144,000 serve a special purpose, to prevent their apostate nation of Israel from falling into the deceptions of the beast. So they are a special and important group of young men sent on a mission. But they cannot be the only ones who will be sealed at this time, as some say. For the text indicates that this sealing definitely will include most of the elect on earth. Aside from these 144,000, countless elect Gentiles and other elect Jews will be sealed by God everywhere on the earth at the same time. Still, prophecies also make it equally clear that most of Israel’s elect will not yet be sealed during the sixth seal’s era. For other prophecies say that the majority of Jews shall not repent until Jesus returns. And the principal reason the prophecy mentions these 144,000 is because they are the few Jews who will be sealed before all the rest of Israel will be “sealed,” or come to a knowledge of salvation in Jesus, their Christ/Messiah. For all Israel cannot be saved until the full number of Gentiles enter God’s priesthood of Israel (Rom. 11:15-27). Although these 144,000 are the first Jews to be saved, and even appear to be gathered into the sixth seal’s revival before the Gentiles are brought in, most of Israel will need to wait until the last of the Gentiles has repented into Israel and Jesus returns. Meanwhile, the 144,000 will serve as special priests of God, chosen by God to do a special work in Israel and for Israel during the end times. They will stop Israel from falling too far.

Why do I say that the 144,000 are not the only ones sealed by God during the era of the sixth seal? Well, first look at how most versions translate Revelation 7:4, which is something like this: “And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel” (ESV). Note how, in most English versions of the Bible, the definite article with the direct object (“the number”) is modified by the genitive phrase (“of the sealed”). By translating this verse like this, they imply that John heard the total number of the sealed, and the total number was 144,000. However, they only do this because this is the order of these phrases in the Greek. Yet the order of the phrases in the Greek seldom follows an English order. So the original Greek text does not actually state that the 144,000 were the only ones sealed. But most English translations fail to convey this important fact.

So, in its context, another acceptable translation of Revelation 7:4 is: “And I heard the number of those having been permanently sealed, 144,000 having been permanently sealed from all the tribes of the sons of Israel.” What is the difference? Well, this translation can indicates that John heard the number of those having been sealed in Israel alone, and that number was 144,000. This leaves room for one to look at the context and realize that the 144,000 are only a part of the total number of all who will be sealed. John only heard “the number ... from the tribes of the sons of Israel.” John did not hear the total number of those sealed, only the number of Israelites sealed. Then, immediately after listing the 144,000, John describes a “great multitude” of Gentiles: “After these things I looked,

 

Page 577

Last Days Timeline

 

and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands” (Rev. 7:9, WEB). These Gentiles are included with those 144,000 who were sealed, and these will all go to heaven, before God’s throne, together with those 144,000 Jews.

In the context of other verses in the Bible, we see how the number of those who are sealed must include millions or billions of Gentiles all over the earth. As for the 144,000 “sons of Israel,” they will be a special group of priestly men sent out on a mission by God, likely to preach in Israel. And these priestly men, “having been permanently sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel,” might be martyred, since we see them in heaven—although a vision of them in heaven may also refer to the pure states of their spirits, which transcend to God’s throne in the spiritual realm every time they pray from their spirits. But, even if all these sealed ones are martyred, they will return with Jesus at His second coming, along with many other saints (sanctified elect). All the sealed ones who are martyred will be resurrected to rule with Jesus during the millennium, as we see in Revelation 20:4. Countless Gentiles will be sealed by God during the era of the sixth seal. For this sealing is the very thing that gives all these souls the knowledge, wisdom and power to give truly faithful testimonies.

The Revelation confirms that this permanent sealing by God was not exclusively for these 144,000 Israelites. Earlier, we saw how no wind was permitted to harm anyone on the whole earth, until the servants of God were sealed by God on their “foreheads,” that is, until God purified the hearts of His elect (Rev. 7:1-3). But those winds of doctrine would only need to be stopped in Israel, if only 144,000 in Israel were to be sealed. So, surely the total number of those being sealed must include Gentile elect located everywhere on earth, not just the 144,000 in Israel. Then, immediately after listing the number from each of the twelve tribes, John prophesied about that “great multitude that no one could number, from every nation” (Rev. 7:9, ESV). Surely here John was still talking about the souls who were sealed during the sixth seal’s era, in addition to the 144,000 Jewish males. Yet these Gentile elect are “a great multitude that no one could number,” while the 144,000 definitely was numbered, literally. So we must conclude that John was not told the total number of all who will be sealed by God at this time. John was only told the number of priest-like, male Jews who would be sealed at this time—because most of the other Jews would not be sealed until the day Jesus returned.

Shortly after this sealing, during the era of the seventh seal, when the fifth trumpet sounds, we also see how a plague of stinging locust-scorpion creatures shall plague the earth. But these demonic creatures are commanded to torment “only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads” (Rev. 9:4, ESV). Thus, the sealed ones are multitudes who are living all over the entire planet. Since these locust-scorpion creatures go out into all the earth, but do not touch anyone who was sealed during the sixth seal’s era, then those sealed ones surely would be located all over the earth. But, if the 144,000 were the only ones who were sealed, and those 144,000 remain in the land of Israel, John would have mentioned that. John would have said something like, “They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree or the 144,000.” It is almost ridiculous to think that he would have described the 144,000 as: “only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” The most obvious reason for the way John worded this prophecy is that John knew there would be countless Gentile elect who would be sealed during the sixth seal’s era, located all over the entire earth, whom God would prevent from being stung by these locust-scorpion creatures during the time of the fifth trumpet. And, by the way, since those sealed during the sixth seal’s era remain alive by the time the fifth trumpet’s plague occurs, we can assume that (1) not all will be martyred; and (2) the time between God’s “sealing” in the sixth seal’s era and the

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

plague of the fifth trumpet must be short, about three decades. The generation that lives during the sixth seal’s era will not all pass away before they will see Jesus return during the seventh seal’s era.

Logic and all biblical evidence indicates that millions or billions of elect Gentiles will be sealed by God during the sixth seal’s era, causing them all to spiritually awaken. Also, throughout the era of the seventh seal, there are the activities of a true, strong church faithfully serving God, preparing to be the bride of Christ, being made spiritually ready for His second coming. These are even faithful to the death during the beast’s severe persecutions, which occur in at least seven Gentile nations, not in Israel. So there must be countless souls, including countless Gentiles, who shall be sealed by God during the era of the sixth seal. Clearly, aside from the 144,000 Jewish male virgins, God shall seal innumerable elect Gentiles around the world, as well as some other elect Jews, during the sixth era.

Also, we must consider other Old and New Testament prophecies, which tell us about countless Gentiles, even whole Gentile nations, worshiping the Lord during the time of the seventh seal. This also forces us to conclude that this “sealing” of the saints during the sixth seal’s era must include an incalculable number of Gentiles. And all these prophecies tell us that the result of this sealing is the sanctification of God—that which separates His elect children from the non-elect, delineating the spirits born of His Spirit from the spirits born of Satan's spirit. By this true revival of His elect, God shall affect a more distinct dichotomy between the heirs of His kingdom and the citizens of Satan's unjust world order. During the sixth seal’s era, God awakens the spirits of His elect, causing them to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Then, later, and only in response to God’s sealing, Satan later awakens the spirits of his children too, so they will worship him and his unholy messiah, the beast.

As for the 144,000 Jews, they are God's special servants. They are all males who have not been with a woman, that is, who dedicate their entire lives to serving God, like Paul the apostle did. So these 144,000 Jewish males carry out a particularly valuable service to God at this time, as His specially appointed priests. And, eventually, during the days of the seventh seal, they may all be martyred, along with multitudes elect Gentiles and other elect Jews who were sealed by God. For we see them in heaven with Jesus (Rev. 7:9). Many or all the 144,000 will likely killed during the second half of the beast’s reign, after he kills two prophets—when the beast wars with the true elect in the Middle East and persecutes true elect Gentiles in the seven nations ruled by him, and possibly in nations which will become his allies later, in the very end. Evidence of this is found later in the Revelation.

Revelation 14:1-5 (ESV): “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and

with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father's name written on their foreheads.

And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud

thunder. The voice [i.e., 'sound,' φωνή] I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their

harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living

creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had

been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for

they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been

redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb , and in their mouth no lie was

found, for they are blameless.”

This occurs in heaven, in the city of Jerusalem above. The 144,000 male Jews “had been redeemed from the earth,” which indicates a time after their earthly bodies died and after their perfecting on the judgment day, some time after all the elect who ever lived have descended into the New Jerusalem on the “mainland” of heaven together. John, living in the first century, was looking at men who lived on earth about 2,000 years in the future, and heard these 144,000 men singing in heaven. Thus, the

 

Page 579

Last Days Timeline

 

Bible portrays all past and future time existing at the same time, much like Einstein and physicists now believe time exists. And there is no linear flow of time in the spiritual realm, only events which can be witnessed at any time. For, these 144,000 died on earth during the future sixth and seventh seal’s eras, and this event had to take place after the judgment day, that is, after literally all the elect humans throughout earth’s history will enter heaven’s mainland together, and also chronologically after many other things John witnessed in heaven and on earth. And remember, John saw these 144,000 men in heaven just after Jesus showed him a vision of people on earth taking the mark of the beast on their right hands or foreheads, which occurs less than seven years before Jesus returns.

So John experienced time as it actually is, as all past times and all future times existing at the very same time, where nothing but the mind of God controls our eternal spirits’ perceptions of earthly times, and allows our spirits to create non-linear time events for themselves in the spiritual realm of heaven. John held experiential knowledge of the real times that God created, both the kind of time which exists as the linear beginning to the end of all our spirits’ perceptions of material existence and the kinds of times from the beginning of all our spirits’ gained experiential knowledge during the non-linear times of our eternal existence in the spiritual realm. Some may see this as insignificant speculation derived from this and other biblical texts, but it is not. Rather, it is important to see and comprehend these truths about times which God gave to us thousands of years ago, so we may believe that the prophecies of Scripture are very real, that they are eye-witness accounts of what those prophets were allowed to actually see and experience in future and past times, as God Himself caused their spirits and their minds of flesh to perceive those times in full, at varying rates of times.

Now the way those prophets wrote down what they were given to see and experience is a different matter. For they could only express what they experienced in the very limited language known to their minds of flesh, only in the terms and concepts which those languages could express during the time periods in which their flesh existed and perceived the current linear times of the world around them. Also, they had to explain all they experienced in that language which their people themselves could comprehend. Thus, their writings were what we might now call phenomenological expressions of all they saw, heard and experienced in other times, and the prophets often had to resort to some figurative and seemingly cryptic terminology. So, as our knowledge of their past languages, times and idioms has increased, as well as our knowledge of the future times they wrote about, we are now better at interpreting their prophecies about future times, able to exegete their intended meanings into modern terms, for the understanding of our people perceiving those future times. But we must do this as honestly as possible, and humbly, without the arrogance of secular or theistic humanism.

Now let the minds of our spirits hear what God revealed to John about the 144,000 Jewish male virgins, who served our God Jesus in Israel after their spiritual awakening during the sixth seal’s revival. These men are called the “firstfruits for God and the Lamb,” and the “Lamb” is obviously Jesus. They are “firstfruits” because they repented to Jesus first, when era of the sixth seal began, although Jesus did not cause most other Jews to repent until the “fullness” of elect Gentiles had been brought into the church of Israel and salvation, which would not occur until the day of His return to the earth. And all “firstfruits” brought to earth’s temple in Jerusalem, throughout history, represent these 144,000. These men stood with Jesus on Mount Zion in heaven, that is, on the temple grounds in the center of heaven’s New Jerusalem, where there is no building called a temple, because Jesus is the only “Temple” in heaven. And with Jesus and these 144,000 men, there also stood “the four living creatures,” a type spiritual creature who monitors all livings spirits, as well as the 24 “elders,” which consisted of the 12 sons of Jacob and the 12 apostles of Jesus. So John’s spirit from the past was actually seeing His spiritual being as it existed in the future, after the judgment day’s perfecting.

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

The 144,000 are described in this way: “These are the ones not causing ritual impurity among women, for they are virgins” (Rev. 14:4, ALT, from: οὗτοί εἰσιν οἳ μετὰ γυναικῶν οὐκ ἐμολύνθησαν, παρθένοι γάρ εἰσιν). In other words, these 144,000 were friends to women, and never caused women to become “unclean” for the day, requiring a mikveh before the women could enter the temple to pray before the presence of God. They respected the spiritual equality of women. Both men and women could trust these men, because “in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless” (14:5, ESV). This information, along with their role of service to Jesus, reveals what their role on earth and in Israel during the end times will involve, since earthly callings train for heavenly roles.

And John heavily emphasized the role of these 144,000 men in heaven. When John saw those men, he said: “I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many water and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth” (14:2-3, ESV). So these men were “redeemed from the earth” so they could sing this “new song” in heaven before the throne of our God Jesus. They were to continue their works on earth in heaven.

So these 144,000 sang a “new song” before the throne of our God Jesus. And this could only be a song of worship, the kind which always expresses doctrinal elements from one’s spirit. Yet no one else could learn this song, because no one else possessed a true experiential knowledge of those doctrinal elements, and could not sing it from their hearts, not like these men could. This implies that both the earthly ministries and heavenly works of these men are unique, and involve tasks that no one else is able to experience or learn to perform. For they would be correcting apostate secular and religious Jews about their misconceptions regarding God, God’s Law and God’s teachings, even in a way where those humanistic Jews would not repent at the current time, but would repent when they saw Jesus descending from the sky. And who knows what that would involve? Yes, they will be preaching and serving Jesus, but in a very unique way. And their song is loud, “like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder,” with “harps” or stringed instruments, almost like rock music. So it seems their earthly ministry will be very aggressive, loud, in the faces of fellow Jews.

This ministry of the 144,000 Jewish male virgins will begin during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, and continue to serve until Jesus returns, or until all of them are martyred. But it seems that literally all of the martyred ones shall come back with Jesus in the first resurrection, to serve Him during the millennium as well. But the span of their ministry will be almost 40 years, because: (1) this prophecy (14:1-5) came after the prophecy about the sounding of the seventh trumpet (11:15), so the 144,000 must live throughout the time of sixth seal’s era into the era of the seventh seal; (2) this prophecy came just before the prophecy about the seven bowls of God’s wrath poured out at the very end of the beast’s seven-year reign (chapter 15), so the 144,000 must remain alive into the time of the seventh trumpet and into the reign of the beast; therefore, (3) if some or all of the 144,000 male Jews are martyred, this would most likely occur during last half of the beast’s seven-year reign.

The sealing of these 144,000 during the era of the sixth seal, and what it says about these men here (in 14:1-5), also reveals some attributes of the other elect who will be sealed at the same time. For here we see that this sealing is Jesus’ “name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.” Of course, this is not referring to a physical mark on physical foreheads made by men, like the mark of the beast will be. This figuratively indicates that the thoughts of their souls, primarily from the minds of their spirits, but also substantially from the minds of their flesh, will remain focused on doing the works of Jesus and the Father. It is an eternal spiritual mark made by the Holy Spirit, as it was during

 

Page 581

Last Days Timeline

 

the apostolic times and as it always has been throughout history. God’s “name” represents God’s will, power all His other attributes, particularly His love, which is the foundation of all His laws.

Therefore, having God’s “name” written on one’s forehead indicates: (1) that one’s spirit is God’s child, eternally belonging to one’s heavenly Father and oldest Brother, Jesus; as well as (2) the innate spiritual attributes of one’s elect spirit at its creation, and God’s educational shaping of the inner propensities of one’s spirit throughout one’s life on earth, will cause one to think His kinds of thoughts, so one might then act according to those thoughts and according to the inherent attributes of one’s spirit, to bear good fruits for God and for His creations. Figuratively, the seal of God on the forehead means that God will teach, train, counsel and guide one’s thoughts in one’s soul. Then His intended meanings of His words will always remain in the mind of one’s spirit, influencing all one’s thoughts and decisions in life. And literally billions of elect will be sealed by God, with the names of Jesus and our Father written on their foreheads, during the future eras of the sixth and seventh seals.

Now, in Rev. 14:2, John did not hear “a voice” of one entity. The word translated as “a voice” is φωνή, which indicates any kind of “sound.” So John heard “a sound” (φωνή) which came “out of the [high] heaven,” and that “sound” was made by many entities, likened to “the sound [φωνή] of many waters” and “the sound [φωνή] of great thunder.” In the next verse, John identified this sound as “the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the [24] elders.” And, if “no one could learn that song except the 144,000,” then the “sound out of thee heaven” was not the voice of God, but the sound of the 144,000 singing. And it is obvious that these 144,000 sealed Jewish males and the 24 elders (the 12 sons of Jacob and the 12 original apostles of Jesus) will all serve Jesus by performing unique ministries in heaven forever after the earth ends. The 24 elders and the 144,000 were all born with eternal spirits bearing the particular inherent attributes required for these eternal ministries. Then all their innate propensities and desires of those inherent attributes were shaped by their experiences of earthly life, and finally completed and perfected at the gates of heaven by the end of the judgment day. And, after that last day outside of heaven, they all descended into heaven’s New Jerusalem with all the rest of the elect, taking their places on Mount Zion in that heavenly city. Forever after that, the 24 elders would serve Jesus as loving and wise teaching and judging elders for all the spirits in heaven, and the 144,000 would sing their doctrinally rich song to all life in heaven. Thus, all of these ordinary human beings would find joyful fulfillment of all their inner desires eternally in that place.

But not all of God’s elect were created for those purposes, and not all would find eternal spiritual bliss in fulfilling those ministries. Each elect spirit was created with different inner desires and with different propensities for different ministries. Yes, all will be equally loved and equally loving by the end of the final judgment day. And, through that love for God, for one another and for all of God’s creations of life, all will be equal. But each will inwardly desire to express one’s love in a different way, through different kinds of works for God, and for their human siblings, and for all of His living creations in heaven when they get there, yet also even now on earth, for all of His spirits of life currently dwelling on earth. And there is no one who can be called “superior” or “inferior” in love, no hierarchies of ministries for God on earth or in heaven, since every cell in the body is needed as much as all the others. Only if all are healthy and functioning at full spiritual and physical capacity, can the whole body be healthy and functioning at full capacity. And God designed the body in such a way that, if even one cell is allowed to become diseased or cancerous, the whole body is declared unhealthy and will soon become dysfunctional, even unto death. So we must watch ourselves, never become jealous of other ministries, and never allow anyone with a supposedly “greater” ministry

 

Page 582

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

ever be esteemed and served in worship, because all are equal under God. All are ordinary sinners just like the 12 sons of Jacob and the 12 original apostles of Jesus. Let us, the elect, learn all this.

All the Gentile elect awakened during the sixth seal’s revival will also serve Jesus as His New Covenant priesthood, much like the Levites in the Old Covenant times served God. And the Levites performed virtually every kind of ministry, everything from teaching and judging to the physical tasks of farming and caring for the needy, from ministries of music and the arts to construction and guarding. Yes, the 144,000 will forsake all selfish ambitions and many creature comforts, such as taking a wife and building a home. Then many will likely die for Jesus. They will dedicate their whole lives to Jesus, and follow Jesus wherever He goes, faithfully into any hardship or death, as the core priesthood of the entire priesthood of Israel. Thus, “no lie” will be found among them, and they will be “blameless,” always acting in a Christ-like, just, pure, selfless, wise love for all their siblings in the family of humankind. And there will also be many Gentile elect during the end times who will do the same. But most elect will be called into other kinds of service for Jesus. And it is critical for all kinds of ministries to be treated as equally important for the whole body of believers, providing all the resources required for the full functioning and health of every ministry. For the body will soon die if one ministry is preferred over the other, if the equality of all believers is not fully maintained.

And I repeat, John only heard the number of these particular sanctified Jewish male virgins, out of all the billions of elect souls whom God will seal during the era of the sixth seal. For these 144,000 are a very special group of men who serve a very specific role for God among their own people of Israel during the end times. Therefore, the sealing of the saints, which John mentioned in Revelation 7:1-3, can only refer to one thing. In John's ecclesiastical language, this sealing of “the servants of our God on their foreheads” means that God will sanctify His elect through a true repentance into a experiential knowledge about Him and His truths in their spirits, so they will serve Him in a right, just and loving ways. Several Scriptures describe God's “seal” or mark in this way. Considering this biblical definition of God’s “sealing,” the sixth-seal’s era will see a genuine revival of His true church. It will produce a true and faithful church resembling the original church formed by Jesus through His apostles. But this final and plenary revival of His church shall endure until the end of the world, then eternally after that, in heaven. For it will involve the new life the apostles described.

John 6:27, (ESV): “Do not labor for the food that perishes, but [labor] for the food that

endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on Him God the Father

has set His seal .”

The sixth seal’s revival will see His elect “labor for the food that endures to eternal life,” for the kind of love we shall need in life on earth and eternally in heaven. Because the Father in heaven has “set His seal” of authority on Jesus, as the Personification of Himself on earth, our God Jesus bears the authority to “set the seal” of His ownership upon us. Jesus will take responsibility for us and love us. And part of His duty as our God involves sending His Holy Spirit to grant our spirits this food which nourishes the eternal lives of our elect spirits. Here the “seal” set upon Jesus is what ensures us that Jesus is God and can do God’s works, that He is able to grant sustenance for our spirits. Therefore, when we are sealed during the days of the sixth seal, we shall belong to Jesus and do the works of our Father. And these works of Jesus and the Father will feed our spirits in us and grow eternal life in us, so we may do the real works of God through Him and He through us. Jesus is sealed by God so we may be sealed, so our ambition will be to gain spiritual food, not temporary things of this world.

II Corinthians 1:21-22 (ESV): “And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and

has anointed us, and who has also put His seal on us and given us His Spirit in our hearts as a

guarantee.”

The apostles and many members of the true apostolic church received this “sealing” of His Holy Spirit, although almost none received it in subsequent centuries, and all who did would have been instantly killed by the fake churches and secular Roman society. Here it partially defines the sealing that we shall receive during the sixth seal’s era. We are “sealed” when our God Jesus grants us “His Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” of our eternal salvation, and this “sealing” also “establishes” our unity with the Messiah and one another, our communion in Jesus, as His priesthood who faithfully serves Him like the apostles did. His Spirit will live together with our elect spirits in our hearts, in a way that guarantees our perfecting for salvation, since it will be entirely the work of our infallible God who cannot fail in what He chooses to do. This anointing by God’s Holy Spirit is our “sealing.”

Ephesians 1:13-14 (ESV): “In Him [i.e., ‘in Christ’] you also, when you heard the word of

truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy

Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise

of His glory.”

So the sealing of the saints during the sixth seal’s era will cause His elect to truly hear the word of truth, the Gospel of our salvation, with full understanding in their hearts. His Holy Spirit will cause His people to trust in Jesus for the teaching and training of their spirits. It is in Jesus Christ, in His power and love, that our spirits will be made ready for life at home in heaven, in a way that cannot fail, in a way that guarantees our salvation, until we receive possession of our completed fullness in heaven. Jesus is well-able to save us, well-able to ensure that all the truth of God’s Word becomes effective in us and through us. It is “in Him” that we trust and put all our confidence—in all of His words, in His power and in His love for us. The “sealing” of this guarantee is “the promised Holy Spirit” of Jesus, our God. Now, since all this is “to the praise of His glory,” we must conclude that even all our faith, and the shaping of our wills, so we act through faith, must come from Jesus, not from ourselves. For nothing is to the praise of our own glory. Nothing in us is praised because even our wills need to be shaped by God. Jesus’ Holy Spirit builds our wills of our spirits, causes our wills to trust in Him. Thus, since all this is the work of God who cannot fail, it shall be accomplished in full, without error, completed entirely on the judgment day, after which literally all His elect children shall indeed “acquire possession” of the “inheritance” He promised. The sealing of God’s people by Jesus will cause us to believe His Word and guarantee our salvation by building up our saving faith.

Ephesians 4:30 (ESV): “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were

sealed for the day of redemption .”

If we allow ourselves to walk according to the thoughts and decisions of our minds of flesh, and suppress the minds of our elect spirits in the chambers of our souls, then our spirits will not be able to gain anything from the training provided by Jesus’ Holy Spirit, and we will not make much progress in our salvation. So this will “grieve the Holy Spirit of God.” Receiving the seal of God does not stop the devil and his children from tempting our flesh, from trying to take our elect spirits captive to destroy our earthly lives. Jesus even had to tell Peter, the most mature of all His disciples, ‘Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers’ (Luke 22:31-32, ESV). All those sealed by Jesus’ Holy Spirit experience the devil trying to take their lives captive through the weaknesses of their flesh, and it is only our faithful Lord Jesus

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

who keeps us from falling into Satan’s hands. Only Jesus keeps our faith from failing, so we might serve Him. So we must keep turning to Him for help, which builds up our relationship with Him.

This is talking about the elect who were “sealed for the day of redemption,” those who were all guaranteed salvation, yet who also grieved God’s Holy Spirit. Thus, we know that salvation is not a guarantee that we will always act perfectly while His Holy Spirit is teaching and training us. The final goal of His education, which will not be completed until the end of the judgment day, is our completion and perfection, which He will indeed accomplish. But the process of our education only sees gradual results, one small gain at a time, especially while we live in flesh on earth. Yes, all our earthly experiences will be useful in the future, both on earth and on the judgment day, as examples that will help glean useful information about ourselves and our siblings. But, while we are living on earth, we will be gathering experiences of both failures and successes, since we will need both kinds of examples for our education. And it is the duty of our spirits, as disciples of Jesus, to learn from our failures, not repeat them, not get caught in endless loops, mindlessly repeating errors by walking according to our minds of flesh. Rather, we ignore the worst impulses of our flesh, allow our flesh its modest needs, but let our spirits learn from Jesus’ Spirit as much as we possibly can for eternal gain.

From this Scripture (Eph. 4:30), we can conclude several things: (1) “the day of redemption” is singular, only one day, the final judgment day before we enter heaven; (2) we will be redeemed on that judgment day, fully perfected and completed on that day; (3) we will not be redeemed before that day, will not be perfect and complete before the judgment day, but only on that day, since we can only be made perfect through its redemption; (4) there will be much repentance from lies and sins into the truth until that full redemption, until we gain a perfected and completed knowledge of the truth, along with the skills to perfectly apply that truth, until the very end of the judgment day, since the process of redemption always involves repentance; (5) the judgment day will be a day to complete the effective, final works of Jesus and His Spirit, His works of teaching and training elect spirits to become righteous, because that is the principal work of biblical judgments; (6) the reason and purpose of being sealed is to enhance the process of redemption while living on the earth, for the glory of His kingdom on earth, although literally all the elect will be redeemed on the judgment day and gathered into heaven; (7) this “sealing” by God guarantees our salvation, assures us that we are the elect of God and as the true church of Israel on earth, although all elect will be Israel in heaven.

Thus, even if some elect grieve the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus, and walk according to their flesh, and do not walk according to their elect human spirits by following the Holy Spirit’s counsel, they will still be “redeemed” on the judgment day, since their “sealing” is an infallible “guarantee” of that eternal salvation. Of course, those who grieve the Holy Spirit will forfeit much or even most of their potential abundant life of loving and being loved. And this is the great treasure they will lack as they enter heaven’s gate for the judgment day. So it is always an internal advantage for an elect spirit to cooperate with the Holy Spirit during one’s life on earth. This “sealing” of the elect, where the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus teaches and trains us to walk according to our spirits and not our flesh, is not a gift we should waste. Now let us not get distracted from this calling to have our spirits taught and trained by Jesus’ Holy Spirit. Let us cast aside all selfish ambitions which are temptations of Satan’s world order, which provide utterly worthless rewards. Our first priority is to build up the just, loving kingdom of God on earth, to practice righteousness through God-like love in Jesus, as Jesus teaches and trains our spirits. Let us “seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness” (Mat. 6:33, WEB).

Ezekiel 9:1-10 (ESV): “Then He [i.e., God with the ‘appearance of a man,’ Jesus] cried in my ears

with a loud voice, saying, ‘Bring near the executioners of the city [i.e., Jerusalem], each with

his destroying weapon in his hand.’ And behold, six men came from the direction of the

upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them

was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood

beside the bronze altar. [The seventh man is not a warrior, but a scribe or scholar, and seems to be a good

man, serving God.] Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it

rested to the threshold of the house. [God reveals His glory because He is about to act on behalf of His

elect.] And He called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. And

the Lord said to him, ‘Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the

foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed

in it.’ And to the others He said in my hearing, ‘Pass through the city after him, and strike.

Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and

maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark.

“And begin at My sanctuary.’ So they began with the elders who were before the house.

Then He said to them, ‘Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.’ [Because

false teachings, judgments and actions defiled God’s house, God would defile His own house with the blood of

the defilers, so none could worship there until it was ceremonially (spiritually) cleansed.] So they went out

and struck in the city. And while they were striking, and I was left alone, I fell upon my face,

and cried, ‘Ah, Lord God! Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in the outpouring of

Your wrath on Jerusalem?’ Then He said to me, ‘The guilt of the house [meaning church] of

Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice.

For they say, “The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.” As for Me, My

eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads.’”

Notice how God calls six men from the north to execute the unjust reprobates of “the city,” which is Jerusalem. The number six is symbolic of humankind, since men and beasts were created on the sixth day. And they are from the north, that is, from Babylon, the head of the beast whose name and number is “666,” because he is the fourth kingdom of men and consists of the previous three. This prophesies that God will use pagan Babylonian warriors to destroy the unjust hypocrites in His church of Israel. Ezekiel prophesied this from Babylon, from the head of the four kingdoms of the beast. So Ezekiel is prophesying about Babylonians, driven entirely by their wills of flesh, as their human wills are manipulated by God. But the seventh man, the good one clothed in linen and with a writing case instead of a sword, seems to be the Messiah, Jesus. For it is He who bears the authority to determine which souls in the city of Jerusalem will live and which will die. And seven symbolizes completion and perfection, which is another clue that indicates this Authority is actually the Messiah.

So the Messiah was to search for a particular sign, in order to determine who should be marked on their foreheads and allowed to live. Likewise, God’s sealing of the elect during the era of the sixth seal will be made according to the same criteria. And the main inherent spiritual attribute of all those who received this saving mark on their foreheads, which is the principal outward manifestation of all the elect whom God will “mark” or “seal” for salvation, was their propensity to “sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed,” especially by God’s church in the temple or “house” where God’s very presence dwelt among them. The ones whom God spares and saves are those who hate the way corrupt pastors and their people do unjust works, like exploiting the poor for personal gain.

Literally all elect spirits are automatically and inherently repulsed by evil, because a love for truth and justice is an innate attribute of their spirits, formed in their spirits at the moment those spirits were first created in God’s image. And anything which slanders God’s good name, such as a people who do evil while falsely claiming to be God’s people, subconsciously or consciously enrages them. So these same attributes will be manifested in the elect who will be sealed during the revival of the

sixth seal, since there will be many evils done by false churches at that time. The elect who will be sealed by God will not be leaders or even members of the false churches, but those who “sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed” in those false churches of the sixth seal’s era.

Just as many of the more awake elect were spared in Jerusalem when Babylon destroyed that city and its temple, the sealed elect during the end times shall be exempted from certain kinds of plagues reserved for the wicked during those days (such as from the plague of demonic, locust-scorpion creatures), and will survive throughout the end times. Those marked Jewish elect were spared from being slaughtered with the hypocrites in the church of Israel when pagan Babylonians came in 586 BC, because God ultimately controlled the thoughts and decisions of even those evil minions of the beast. More importantly, we saw how God also spared those ancient elect Jews from His worst punishment, which is being handed over to Satan’s delusions, which were rampant in Babylon and their church at that time. Since those elect Jews could still “sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed,” their spirits were still awake enough and seeing clearly enough to be spared from falling into the delusions that the false church fell into. And the same will be true during the end times. Only the elect who have not fallen into the delusions of the false churches, only spirits can still “sigh and groan over all the abominations committed” by the false church, will be sealed.

And notice how God’s judgment began with the “elders” (“pastors,” Bible teachers and judges) in Jerusalem, that is, with those who served “before the house,” which means those serving on the temple grounds or at the gates where judgments took place. These were the most prominent and highly esteemed Jews in the corrupt church. Yet God considered them to be the most guilty sinners and worst criminals in Jerusalem. They somehow imagined that God did not see nor know about their self-serving lies and sins, or dreamed that God not care about the ways in which they twisted His words into a means for personal gain, or into unjust precepts which spurned His call to do His just works for the people of His land, and to undo the unjust works of the devil. And Evangelicals, as well as mainline churches, do exactly the same things today. They even believe that God will welcome their cold, dead hearts into heaven. But we must never forget that God will be equally as merciless to the merciless fake “Christians” as they were to their impoverished siblings. Only truly loving elect spirits, who show mercy through wise justice, will receive mercy, for only these are born of God. Only those whose spirits “sigh and groan over all the abominations committed” are saved.

God’s sealing of the elect during the end times was also prophesied by Joel, when he told us that God would pour out His Spirit on His people (Joel 2:28-32). Yet the apostle Luke also alluded to Joel’s prophecy when he said: “The believers from among the circumcised [Messianic Jews] who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles” (Acts 10:45, ESV, ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἡ δωρεὰ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐκκέχυται). Notice how he used the expression “poured out” while referring to God’s Spirit here. So Luke obviously borrowed this figurative expression from Joel. For, in Joel 2:28, God declared: “I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh” (ESV). In the Septuagint, this Hebrew text is translated into Greek as: ἐκχεῶ ἀπό τοῦ πνεύματός μου ἐπί πᾶσαν σάρκα (“From My Spirit, I will pour out upon all flesh”). And it clearly influenced how all the early Christians described the “sealing” of God and receiving His Spirit of salvation. Then Peter also said they “have received the Holy Spirit just as we have” (Acts 10:47, ESV), meaning just as the Jewish disciples and apostles did on the day of the Pentecost. And, on that day, Peter referred to way the true church, consisting of only Jews at the time, received God’s Holy Spirit by quoting this prophecy from Joel (see Acts 2:17-21). But Joel actually prophesied about the sealing of the elect of all kinds in the end times, that is, during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals.

Joel 2:28-32 (ESV): “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit on

all [kinds of] flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream

dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those

days I will pour out My Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth,

blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to

blood, before the great and awesome day of [Yahweh] comes. And it shall come to pass that

everyone who calls on the name of [Yahweh] shall be saved . For in Mount Zion and in

Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as [Yahweh] has said, and among the survivors

shall be those whom [Yahweh] calls.”

The pouring out of God’s Spirit will occur after God begins to return Jews to their land and restores Israel (Joel 2:25-27). So it occurs after the fifth seal’s era. But it also occurs before Armageddon (Joel 3:1-21), which occurs in the seventh seal’s era, shortly before Jesus returns. Thus, Joel also implies that the pouring out of God’s Spirit will occur in the sixth seal’s era, just as the other prophecies do. Here the phrase “all flesh” clearly is to be interpreted as “without distinction.” In other words, it should be translated as “all kinds of flesh,” meaning His Spirit will pour out on the old and young, males and females, Gentiles and Jews, slaves and free persons, and so on. Then Joel prophesies about “wonders in the heavens and on the earth.” These world-wide “wonders” refer to the terrors and plagues in the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. And these will occur “before the great and awesome day of Yahweh comes,” which means, before our God, Yahweh Jesus, returns

Joel also prophesies that “everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh,” who is Jesus, will survive these plagues. Yet “those who escape” will be “those whom Yahweh calls.” Thus, those who call on Yahweh and those whom Yahweh calls must be the same people. But there will also be many whom God does not “call” or “choose” or “elect,” and those non-elect will perish in the end times. Of course, most elect Jews will not repent until the day that Yahweh Jesus returns. Nevertheless, literally all who call on Jesus before He physically returns and begins walking to the Jerusalem temple, will be saved, because all whom God has called and elected will call on Jesus by that time.

This pouring out of our Holy God’s Spirit upon all kinds of people on earth must refer to God’s sealing during the sixth seal’s era. The sealing during the era of the sixth seal will be a true revival, where very many elect around the world, including 144,000 elect Jewish males, are filled with the Holy Spirit of God. His almighty, irresistible Spirit will pour into living Jewish and Gentile elect hearts and souls, upon all kinds of flesh, upon the elect from all the nations on earth. And, as the other prophets pointed out, God’s Spirit will work the cleansing of His elect through repentance into His truths. The Spirit of Jesus will teach their spirits to love in a pure, just, equitable, merciful ways.

So this sealing of the elect in the sixth seal’s era will be a genuine, world-wide, permanent revival of Christ’s true church, resulting in truly faithful service to Jesus. Those churches will become like the true apostolic church, likely even better. In that new true church, Jesus will again directly teach, train, counsel and govern elect spirits as their only Head and Lord. So He will be able to also grant prophecies and loving miracles through them as well. And this formation of His true church again, as His much larger and world-wide, permanent priestly kingdom on earth, shall signal the the end of the beast’s Roman kingdom and his false, humanistic churches. Satan’s world order will gasp its last dying breaths as God’s world order begins. All who are not sealed by Jesus—not marked “on their foreheads” by God—will not be inwardly changed by His Holy Spirit, and will be abandoned to Satan’s delusions and lies, appointed for the destruction of their flesh. And those revived by His sealing will see the plagues of the seventh seal cause Satan’s world order to implode on itself. Then the beast will burn the “Great Prostitute,” though she sits upon him. Since the second century, the

Page 588

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

Great Prostitute suppressed the true church. She nullified true revivals and strove to corrupt and persecute true churches climbing out of her dark delusions. But now God’s judgment shall fall on the Great Prostitute and on all her daughters. The very humanists that fed them their lies shall kill them.

Also, because a genuine revival of the true church will occur after the sealing of the elect in the sixth seal’s era, the true Gospel will be proclaimed throughout the earth at last. Through the influence of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, the saving Gospel will be preached with a much stronger, greater effect than it ever has been since the days of the apostles. God allowed the true Gospel, which calls us to trust in our God Jesus and in His words, to be hijacked, corrupted and suppressed as long as Rome stole it for its false churches. He made their false version ineffective since the second century, because Rome’s fake theistic humanists preached faith in man, man’s words and man’s hands to perform rituals. So God no longer associated His true inner works of salvation with their false churches. But soon all those humanists will no longer be able to pretend to serve God, and the power of God’s Holy Spirit working in and through His elect children will drive them from the earth. For they thought they could silence God Himself. Yet God marched His truths through their opposition, on to complete victory over them in the end. And those fakes could not resist His power to save His elect.

Matthew 24:14 (ESV): “And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout

the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Jesus taught this after His teachings about the eras of the first four seals (Mat. 24:4-8), and about the era of the fifth seal (Mat. 24:9-13). So He was telling us that, by the end of the era of the sixth seal, His true “Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations.” And, actually, the ability to reach literally all nations, with any kind of extensive, detailed proclamation, was not possible throughout history, not without our current technology. Only now can the entire, true Gospel be freely distributed to everyone in digital formats, and spread throughout the entire world. Therefore, “the end will come” very soon, during the era of the seventh seal, just after the true Gospel, which the real Jesus preached, is “proclaimed throughout the whole world” in the eras of the fifth and sixth seals. Then the destruction of Satan’s world order and his beast, in the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, will occur in only one generation, and they will see God’s full wrath.

Jesus said a world-wide proclamation of the true Gospel will occur just before “the end will come.” In context, “the end” is a positive development related to the preaching of the Gospel throughout the world in the end times. And the end is precipitated by this preaching of the Gospel. So this “end” cannot be the end of the physical earth’s existence, as some say. Rather, the end of the earth will occur with “the end” of the entire material universe after more than a millennium of Jesus ruling over the entire earth, and after the final resurrection of all who ever died on earth throughout history, and just before the beginning of the long judgment day. Thus, “the end” here (Mat. 24:14), must refer to the end of Satan’s world order. On the day Jesus returns, Roman humanism and the loveless non-elect, who pursue only selfish ambitions and the lusts of their flesh, will be totally annihilated.

During the eras of the first five seals, the beast’s humanistic kingdom have been allowed to become the dominant religion in Satan’s world order. Then, during the eras of the first five seals, God’s truths have been eroding the power of Roman humanism. And, during this true revival of the sixth seal’s era, God’s “sealing” or mark “on the foreheads” of His elect, will awaken and teach the spirits of those elect. So those elect will no longer be deceived by humanists. Jesus will separate or sanctify them, keep them apart from the non-elect. Because His elect will be set apart for God’s purposes, and shall no longer partake in the sins of Satan’s children in the world order, God will then be able to directly attack Satan’s world order, without harming His elect. After a clear dichotomy has been

 

Page 589

Last Days Timeline

 

formed between the elect and non-elect, through God’s sealing of His elect, God will lead the non-elect in self-destructive delusions, to dismantle Satan’s world order, progressively during the seventh seal’s era. But Satan will know his time is short and send his own messiah, the beast, who is called the Antichrist or Anti-messiah. The prefix “anti” means “instead of” or “in opposition to.” So the beast will be the devil’s alternative messiah to Jesus, anointed by Satan to oppose thee Messiah whom God anointed. But Jesus will cast Satan and his beast into hell as He descends to the earth. Thus, the end times (the sixth and seventh seals’ eras) will cause “the end” or destruction of Satan’s world order and the beast’s kingdom shortly after the true Gospel of God’s kingdom is preached.

Jesus also declared that the true Gospel will be proclaimed after “the love of many will grow cold,” and told us that love would grow cold “because lawlessness will be increased” (Mat. 24:12, ESV). Therefore, this loveless, lawless time must occur during the eras of the fourth and fifth seals, when the world order persecutes those who bear the name of Jesus, all who do the works of Jesus, that is, in the times we are currently experiencing. There have been more martyrs for the just, equitable words and works of God in the last century than in all of the previous centuries put together. This is because God's laws and ways have now been slandered and cast aside by more people than ever before. Through the diligent labors of humanistic fascists, capitalists, communists, Muslims, fake Christians and so on, God’s just ways are hated everywhere in the world. Everywhere we look, non-elect souls eagerly strive to suppress and nullify true faith in God and the true meaning of His words.

The only churches not hated and persecuted are those who hate and persecute, who embrace Satan’s lies and are institutions of his world order. The result is a cold, dead, exploitative, oppressive world making people into total slaves of money, lies and sins. For, without a foundation of God's truth and created realities, love cannot grow and barely exists at all. Lawlessness can never build a just, pure, honest spirit that conjoins with other spirits in covenants of God-like love. Real love of the spirit must be built on truths about oneself and others, through pure inner honesty. Only real truth enables two spirits to truly love one another. A spirit can never truly love another if either of the two spirits is dishonest, deluded and does not inwardly pursue the truths of God’s just, equitable, humble, loving ways. Wherever dishonesty and injustice exist, real love withers and dies in that toxic environment.

So, when Jesus said “the end will come” after the world-wide proclamation of the Gospel, “the end” was referring to the end of the world’s loveless lawlessness, which is perpetuated by Satan’s Roman world order. For Jesus will return to end Satan's world order, with finality. And, after Jesus rules the earth for a millennium, during the latter part of the seventh seal’s era, the end of the universe and the earth will also arrive. So God will first end the lawlessness, where love grows cold, once the Gospel will be preached in all the world. Then, more than a thousand years later, He will end perceptions of material existence in all spirits of life. And it is clear that love will grow cold during the era of the fifth seal. So we conclude that Jesus was saying the Gospel will be proclaimed throughout the world, especially during the era of the sixth seal, and end all material existence after the seventh seal’s era.

It also makes sense that God will grant a true revival for His elect before His real Gospel will be fully and correctly preached throughout the entire earth. For it will only be through the awakened elect, filled with His Holy Spirit, that His true Gospel can be preached. And the biblical prophecies about a true, world-wide revival during the era of the sixth seal are the only prophecies about the sealing of the saints. So God will first do the works of expunging all faith in man during the eras of the first five seals, to first nullify any attraction of the religion of humanism in the minds of His elect. Then He will revive them. For the only way God can replace that worthless religion with true faith in Jesus, along with a genuine trust in the real and intended meanings of His words, is by first exposing the lawless, loveless effects of Roman religion. Only then can faith be purified and real.

Page 590

Sixth Seal Prophecies

 

True faith in Jesus and His words is the true Gospel. Until now, the theistic humanism of the Great Prostitute and her daughters have been proclaimed, instead of the real Gospel. For preaching the Gospel is not about merely proclaiming the physical words from the Bible, because those false churches twist those truths into lies. Rather, God must call, teach, train, appoint and send men to preach the real Gospel. Then God must make each man’s words work effectively in the spirits of the elect whom He has appointed to hear those words at that time. The Gospel is actually the power of God awakening elect spirits, so their spirits can see and hear the real Creator God Jesus, so Jesus’ Holy Spirit might then personally teach His real truth to each elect spirit and train that spirit to do His works. Jesus must make Himself into the only Lord and Head of each elect spirit. Of course, Jesus graciously calls and sends some of the Father’s elect children to do His works, even to proclaim some of His words of truth. But a truly effective preaching of the Gospel is only possible if His chosen and appointed elders preach His truths through the will and authority of Jesus, if a man is personally sent by Jesus, if the power of Jesus makes the preaching effective in the spirits of other elect brothers and sisters. None of this can occur unless God has adequately taught and trained a man to serve Him, after the man’s spirit learns to heed His counsel and commands, so he will do His will.

Before any man can do any of this, the power of Jesus’ Spirit must use His Word to divide the man’s spirit and soul asunder. As a man’s spirit is taught by Jesus’ Holy Spirit, that man’s spirit wants his flesh to know and to do what Jesus has been teaching him. So the man’s spirit sends his knowledge of Christ’s teachings down to the interface between his mind of flesh and his mind of his spirit. This interface is called his “soul,” and is the only place where his mind of flesh can possibly see anything that God has taught to his spirit. But the mind of flesh always resists truths from God, which causes conflicts in the soul. A man’s mind of flesh and his mind of his spirit war against each other inside the soul. The lawless, self-centered and self-indulgent mind of flesh counters God’s truths with its own corrupt thoughts in his soul. Therefore, an elect man must overcome those thoughts from his mind of his flesh. But both sides of this conflict are parts of the man himself, and he cannot really overcome himself. If his mind of his spirit and his mind of his flesh battle each other in the soul, he will never make any progress. For his introspection can only produce circular thinking, making matters worse. The most a man can do then is to cease thinking altogether. And thinking nothing may provide a temporary relief, but cannot solve anything. But Jesus’ Holy Spirit can take control.

What a man needs is input from a source existing outside of himself, to stop his circular thinking and to cause the thoughts of his soul to make progress in a good and productive way. But, if he receives input from an evil external source, he will move towards destruction. Only if the input comes from God, can he move closer to salvation. If a man’s spirit steps outside of his soul, into his heart, so God’s Word, taught to his Spirit by Jesus’ Holy Spirit, can teach truths that will help his spirit grow strong enough to rebuke and silence his mind of flesh, can the man make progress. Then his spirit, separated from his soul, becomes unhindered by opposition from the flesh within the soul. So the Holy Spirit uses His Word to divide the spirit apart from the soul, in a way that truncates opposition from our minds of flesh in the soul, so our spirits can heed Christ’s counsel and commands, so our spirits grow strong enough to overcome our flesh. God’s Word, through His Holy Spirit, is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Heb. 4:12, ESV). His Word helps our spirits overcome our flesh to serve God. Our spirits can learn His truths directly from Him and become willing servants, doing His will through our bodies of flesh again. This is how Jesus will make the preaching of the true Gospel effective, and this will only be proclaimed after the sealing of His elect during the era of the sixth seal—when Jesus heals His elect and revives His true church.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

History’s greatest tribulations occurring within one generation, Satan’s world order destroyed, Jesus’ second advent, the first resurrection, a millennium of justice and peace, a failed rebellion of Gog and Magog, the material universe destroyed, and the judgment day, possibly beginning in the 21st or 22nd century.

Most biblical prophecies in both the Old and New Testaments, focus on this seventh and last era, as the climax of “the end times,” since this era will end all the unjust governments and false religions of Satan’s world order. The first plague against Satan’s world order occurs at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era, and that short era prepares the generation of the elect who will live through the seventh seal’s era. So both the sixth and seventh seals’ eras are actually the “end times,” the end of evil powers that have ruled the world since the days of Adam, and beginning of God’s rule over the earth.

There was a good reason for the prophets to intensely focus on this one generation living during the end times. For, since the sin of Adam and Eve, Satan’s world order has brought painful injustice to the world. Yet God only ever appointed one short season in all history, the generation living during the end times, for the Messiah to tear apart and utterly crush Satan’s world order. And God chose to destroy Satan’s kingdom in such a short time to prove how weak and factious it actually was. Within a span of forty to seventy years, Jesus will utterly annihilate all the institutionalized arrogance of the world order. He will finally silence the devil’s destructive delusions and lies that have caused so much suffering, harm and death since the days of Adam. Within the lifetime of that one generation, when Jesus returns to personally rule the world and make all right again, as Israel’s Messiah, we will then experience loving justice everywhere on earth. So this seventh era will experience terrifying events. But all those great tribulations will nullify many millenniums of cunning deceptions and institutionalized evil, to save His elect. In the end, Jesus will fulfill our hopes for an abundant life in true joy, where all can freely love and be loved without Satan’s interference of his oppressive lies.

Revelation 8:1-6, ESV: “When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in

heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven

trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden

censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the

golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints,

rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with

fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings,

flashes of lightning and an earthquake. Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets

prepared to blow them.”

The seventh seal’s era begins with a period of “silence in heaven for about half an hour.” In common ecclesiastical terms, where a day with God in heaven is as a thousand years, this indicates about 20 years on earth (i.e., a half hour is one forty-eighth of a thousand-year-day in heaven, and a thousand years divided by 48 is about 20.83 years). So it begins by allowing about 20 years for God’s elect to fully recover from the sixth seal’s plague of earthquakes and meteors striking down and destroying the infrastructures and powers of Satan’s world order, and for the subsequent revival to grow strong.

After this hiatus or grace period of about 20 years, and still in the beginning of the seventh seal’s era, the seven angels are given their trumpets, so that each can blow a trumpet, one after the other, to announce the beginning of another plague against Satan’s world order. Therefore, since the angels

 

Page 592

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

are only given their trumpets during the seventh seal’s era, it is impossible for anyone to logically believe that the seven seals, seven trumpets and seven bowls of wrath are all describing the same series of seven events, that all these sevens describe only one series of simultaneous events, as the theory of the so-called “Semitic numbering system” suggests. No! First the eras of the first six seals will occur. Then, during the era of the seventh seal, the events of the first six trumpets will plague the earth, and Satan’s world order in particular. Finally, during the period of the seventh trumpet, the seven bowls of God’s wrath will pour out upon the beast’s Roman kingdom. And it will be after those bowls of wrath pour out that the period of the seventh trumpet will end, and Jesus will return.

But, before the first of the seven angels could sound his trumpet, we are told about “another angel” with a golden censer, a metal encasing, usually hung from a metal chain, where incense is burned. And this angel stood at an altar in heaven, a huge golden altar with a raised platform that was big enough to hold millions of deceased and sanctified elect, now resurrected and transfigured into heavenly bodies. This angel “was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne” of our God Jesus. Since there was “much incense,” there must have been much smoke from all that incense. And, since there were very many “saints,” there must have been very many prayers being offered up to our God Jesus at that time, even the prayers of all the elect who had ever lived on earth up to that time. Then we can guess that all those prayers were for our God Jesus to destroy the unjust world order. For we then see how this other angel “took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth,” which resulted in “peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightening, and an earthquake.” And this was the signal for the seven angels with trumpets to be “prepared to blow them,” to start the plagues against Satan’s world order.

So the first part of the seventh seal’s era, until Jesus returns and rules the earth for more than a thousand years, will be a “great tribulation” for the entire world, as the plagues of the seven trumpets devastate the entire planet, and Satan’s kingdom of the beast in particular. But, if we look closely at the seven plagues, which will be done later, that “great tribulation” will only last about another 20 years. Thus, from the start of the sixth seal’s era to the day Jesus returns, only about 40 years will pass, which is the most common biblical definition of one generation. And many of the elect born in the era of the sixth seal, or just before then, will actually see the return of Jesus. On the other hand, that generation will also see the worst times in the entire history of the world during their lifetimes.

Jeremiah 25:15-19, 26-38 (ESV): “Thus [Yahweh], the God of Israel, said to me: ‘Take

from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you

drink it. They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of the sword that I am sending

among them.’ So I took the cup from [Yahweh’s] hand, and made all the nations to whom the

Lord sent me drink it: Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them

a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; Pharaoh king of Egypt, his

servants, his officials, all his people ...

“all the kings of the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world

that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of Babylon shall drink. ‘Then you

shall say to them, “Thus says [Yahweh] of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, be drunk and

vomit, fall and rise no more, because of the sword that I am sending among you.” And if they
