During those troubled end times, “Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt, and will wave His hand over the River with His scorching breath, and strike it into seven channels, and He will lead people across it in sandals” (Is. 11:15). This likely means the Euphrates river will dry up into trickling streams soon, sometime before the prophesied “recovery” of nearby Muslim lands, before God causes them to “inquire” of Him. God will make the Euphrates become shallow waters before “there will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant that remains of His people, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt” (11:16). A highway will lead from the current Muslim lands that once belonged to the ancient Assyrian Empire, to Israel, so worshipers of Yahweh can go to Israel to “inquire” of Him, to learn from Jesus after He returns. And, for some reason, the Euphrates River will need to become very shallow before that highway can be built.

When this prophecy and other prophecies speak about a highway from Assyria to Egypt, we must remember that Israel has always been a land bridge between Africa and the Middle East, with traffic coming all the way from Europe and even from China into Egypt and Africa through Israel. For most of history, people in the lands to the north and east of Israel would travel through their land to go to Egypt and other African nations. And this will happen again, after Jesus returns. So this will require a good highway from the lands that formerly belonged to ancient Assyria, through Israel, into Egypt and other African nations. But this also implies that air travel and shipping will not exist to the extent it does today. By the time Jesus returns, most planes and ships will be gone, and most of the people will travel by land. Although some technology will remain, most of it will soon become inoperable.

Isaiah 19:16-25 (ESV): “In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear

before the hand that [Yahweh] of hosts shakes over them. And the land of Judah will become

a terror to the Egyptians. [Again, when it says, ‘in that day,’ it refers to the end times, to the eras of the

sixth and seventh seals, the generation living just before Jesus returns.] Everyone to whom it is

mentioned will fear because of the purpose that [Yahweh] of hosts has purposed against

them. In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of

Canaan and swear allegiance to [Yahweh] of hosts. One of these will be called the City of

Destruction. In that day there will be an altar to [Yahweh] in the midst of the land of Egypt ,

and a pillar to [Yahweh] at its border. It will be a sign and a witness to [Yahweh] of hosts in

the land of Egypt. When they cry to [Yahweh] because of oppressors, He will send them a

Savior and Defender, and deliver them. [i.e., Yahweh will send them the Messiah Jesus]

“And [Yahweh] will make Himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know

[Yahweh] in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to

[Yahweh] and perform them. And [Yahweh] will strike Egypt, striking and healing , and

they will return to [Yahweh], and He will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them. In that

day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and

Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will

be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth , whom the Lord of

hosts has blessed, saying, 'Blessed be Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands,

and Israel My inheritance.”

Here God prophesies that there will only be a “remnant” of Egyptian survivors before they convert to become worshipers of Yahweh, with a “Savior and Defender,” that is, before they become a true, biblical, Christian nation. A war with Israel, as well as the unmentioned wars with the beast who will attack the Middle East, shall leave only a “remnant” alive. But those wars and the other plagues of the end times will cause their repentance into the truth, and some Egyptians will even learn the language of Canaan, which is the modern dialect of Hebrew. So this also prophesied that the Hebrew

Page 712

language would be revived in the end times. And that did not seem possible before the 19th century, since Hebrew was known only by a few Jewish scholars until the Zionist movement revived Hebrew as a living language, even among Gentile theologians and philosophers. My grandfather was a philosopher in Ukraine before the first world war, and learned Hebrew so well that he actually had conversations with Zionists, since Hebrew had been revived as a living language by that time. And soon Hebrew will not only be spoken in Israel, but in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East too.

This Messianic prophecy in the nineteenth chapter of Isaiah expounds on his eleventh chapter, and these events will also occur before the second coming of the Messiah Jesus, whom Isaiah also calls the “Savior and Defender” sent to Egypt by Yahweh. In the end times, after Egypt worships Yahweh, one Egyptian city’s name will be the “City of Destruction.” This sounds ominous, but it would most likely mean that this city will be holy and set apart for Yahweh’s purposes, just as some firstfruits and sacrifices were dedicated to destruction when they were set apart for Yahweh. Thus, the people of this Egyptian city will spiritually devote to destruction their lives in the flesh, so they can wholly dedicate their lives on earth to serving Yahweh. It will be a priestly city, dedicated to serving God.

After Egypt repents to Yahweh, this prophecy declares, “In that day there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land Egypt, and a pillar to the Yahweh at its border. It will be a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt” (19:19-20). Note that an “altar” is not always in a temple and is not always used for animal sacrifices. Here it would simply refer to a place of worship. For Jerusalem is the only place where any altar for animal sacrifices can exist, since those sacrifices are symbolic of the Messiah’s sacrifice in Jerusalem, and the temple represents His body. The only place on earth that God's Law allows a physical temple and sacrifices is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Also, it is because the presence of our God in the Messiah will dwell in Jerusalem, and the physical temple will represent the Messiah in Jerusalem, that Egypt and Assyria will construct their highways to Jerusalem. Then the Gentile worshipers of Yahweh Jesus from Egypt and Assyria can pray together in Temple courtyards and hear the preaching of their God Jesus there. The altar in Egypt will simply indicate that Egyptians will truly worship God from their hearts. And the pillar to the Yahweh at the border will indicate that Egypt will have a truly Christian government, faithful to the “root of Jesse,” trusting the Messiah Jesus. A pillar at the border will be the government’s way of defining the borders governed by them, as “a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt.” It will indicate that Egypt’s government will justly serve its people according to the ways of Yahweh, which the Messiah Jesus fulfills in them and through them. Both are testimonies of faith.

When Isaiah wrote God’s words about the end times and the day of Yahweh, he was writing about a period of time devoted to the Messiah Jesus, the days of the sixth and seventh seals, which prepare for His return to Jerusalem and establish His rule over all the earth. They were Messianic prophecies telling us that God will also deliver Gentile nations, like Egypt, from lies and sins, as well as from the beast during the end times. So Jesus will destroy the beast who invaded Israel and the Middle East, just as Daniel prophesied. For the beast will be a Roman secular humanist who hates Jews and true biblical Christians, who imposes his religion of humanism onto everyone he can conquer. After Jesus’ Holy Spirit saves elect spirits in the Middle East, from lies and sins, He will also deliver their flesh, and the whole earth, from the aggressive Satanic world order which is trying to murder them.

Animal sacrifices to Yahweh will be made at the temple in Jerusalem by Jews and Gentile Christians both before and after Jesus returns, as a ritual used to remember and celebrate Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for salvation, in the same way we celebrate the Last Supper, which is the Passover meal as Jesus commanded. Therefore, to make the Passover sacrifices, Egyptians will go to Jerusalem and

pay for sacrifices to be made for them at a temple which shall soon be built there. Then they will share the meat of their sacrifices with everyone there, partaking in feasts involving prayers and joyful fellowship. This will be one of the reasons why Egypt and Assyria will build their highways to Jerusalem. And those highways will also provide those Christian nations with access to one another, so there can be a more free and frequent fellowship between the people of Egypt and the people of the lands formerly called Assyria. But this uniting of large numbers of people will seem like a threat to the beast, who will want everyone to worship him alone. So the beast will apply the typical tactics that Roman humanists have used from the beginning. The beast will attempt to divide the Middle East into warring factions again, and will begin by stopping sacrifices in the temple, as well as all the other practices which promote warm fellowship and unity throughout the region of the Middle East.

At the beginning of his seven-year reign, the beast will conquer Israel and the Middle East, stop all fellowship and temple sacrifices, commit the abomination which causes desolation, send his troops into the Middle East to establish his kind of fascist “order” there, and bribe locals who are willing to betray their own people by serving as “spies” for the beast. So Jerusalem probably will not make any sacrifices after the beast gains power as the dominant world power, since he will immediately attack the Middle East and Africa, then occupy those lands, during the first half of his seven-year reign. Yet there will be a period of time when sacrifices are made in the temple before the beast rises to power, a period of time which is long enough for the nations of Egypt and Assyria to enjoy the sacrificial times of feasting and fellowship, so much so that both will build highways to Jerusalem. But it would require a few years for all that to happen, perhaps a whole decade or more of sacrifices being made in the temple before the beast begins his seven-year reign. Thus, it seems that the third temple will be built, and temple sacrifices will begin, a decade or more before the beast rises up in Europe.

Also, God prophesied that some Egyptians will learn the language of Canaan, with is Hebrew. But it would take years for Egyptians to learn Hebrew. Thus, Egypt will become a Christian nation, with many Egyptians learning Hebrew so they can converse with the Jewish priests and make animal sacrifices in the third temple, all long before the beast comes to conquer the Middle East and parts of Africa. Therefore, Egypt will most likely become a Christian nation many years before the beast’s rises to power, probably during the sixth seal’s revival. Likewise, so will the other nations in the Middle East, those who once belonged to ancient Assyria. Then the Jerusalem temple likely will be built about that time as well, probably with the support of Egypt and the formerly Assyrian nations. And the support of those formerly Muslim nations will enable Israel to tear down the Muslim mosque and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, so the Jewish temple can be built there instead. So the end times, the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, will occur within only one generation or about 40 years. And the era of the sixth seal will likely take up the first 20 of those 40 years, while the beast will reign during the last seven years of those 40 years. So, if Egypt and Assyria become Christian nations who make sacrifices at a third Jewish temple at least a decade before the beast rises to power, that means that their “conversion” to Christianity and the building of the third temple will begin very soon, within the sixth seal’s era. For the current fifth seal’s era is coming to a bitter end very soon, and the plagues of the sixth seal will cause the revival very soon.

So God’s prophecy through Isaiah started out by saying “the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians,” and this would be “because of the purpose that Yahweh of hosts has purposed against them” (19:17). But then His prophecy talks about Egypt becoming a people who faithfully worship Him, and God implies that Egypt will know God through the Messiah Jesus, since this is a Messianic prophecy. Then it summarizes all this by saying, “Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to Yahweh, and He will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them” (19:22).

 

Page 714

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

There has always been both a striking and a healing for the unfaithful elect. When they get caught up in the delusions and lies of false religions preached by the world order, their Father in heaven warns their spirits. And, if their spirits continue to ignore His warnings, He strikes their flesh, to stop the injustice caused by their lies and sins. Then, if they repent, He heals their spirits and the ways of their lives, so they can love and be loved in just, equitable and abundant lives that truly serve God.

So “the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day and worship with sacrifices and offerings” (19:21) which must be made in the Jerusalem temple. And this will be their time of healing. Then, “in that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians” (19:23). The main purpose of this highway will be so the Egyptians and Assyrians can fellowship with each other, as Christians. Then they will worship together. But where will they worship together? It will be where they worship together, where they make sacrifices and give offerings, which must occur at the temple in Jerusalem. And, to do that, they will need to travel to the Jerusalem temple, especially during the feasts. And this is why they will build those highways.

Now, when God’s people make sacrifices and give offerings, they also feast together, learn about God from the priests, and minister to one another in many ways. They engage in a deep and heart-felt fellowship with each other, ensuring loving justice, equity and providence for the physically and spiritually needy among their people. Thus, when it says that Egypt and Assyria will both worship together, it must mean that the primary meeting place for this fellowship will be in Jerusalem. Yet notice the glaringly obvious fact that this prophecy does not say anything about these Gentiles also fellowshiping with the Jews in Israel at this time. Like other prophecies, it only speaks about a the warm fellowship between Jewish hosts and Gentile worshipers after Jesus returns. So even this prophecy through Isaiah implies that the Jews will not yet be worshiping the Messiah Jesus together with those Gentiles, although the Jews have built their temple and allow Gentiles to purchase temple sacrifices, just as they did during the previous temple periods. For Yahweh predestined that Israel would first need to go through their own times of Yahweh’s striking and healing, which would not be completed until Jesus descended upon the Mount of Olives. First all the elect Gentiles will become Christians. But Scriptures tell us that the Jews shall not repent until the full number of Gentiles have entered into Israel through Christ (Rom. 11:25). And that will not happen until the day Jesus returns.

Then it confirms this by prophesying: “In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria” (Is. 19:24a). So “that day” is the end times, a period beginning with earthquakes and striking meteors around the world, then ending when Jesus returns to the temple in Jerusalem. Then Israel will be the third to repent to their Messiah Jesus, chronologically, after Egypt and Assyria. On the day that Jesus will return, Israel will finally become what God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant, “a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom Yahweh of hosts has blessed” (19:24b). And, after Jesus has walked to the temple, He will begin to preach God’s Word as their High Priest, declaring to all there: “Blessed be Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance” (19:24c). For there will be Egyptian and Assyrian elect there with the Jews on the day He descends from the sky.

Some will say that the Egyptians and Assyrians will not make sacrifices to God after they become Christians. In our day, many superstitious Christians think it would be sinful for Christians to make animal sacrifices at a Jerusalem temple, and even say it would be blasphemous. But, of course, that is simply not true and definitely not a biblical doctrine. Teachings which say that the Old Covenant ceremonial laws about sacrifices and feasts will no longer be practiced in New Covenant times are mere inventions of the ignorant. For Jesus came to fulfill literally all the Old Covenant laws in us and through us, but never came to nullify any of them. There is nothing in the New Testament which even hints at such a doctrine, but there are teachings which refute that false doctrine. For instance,

Page 715

Paul, through the recommendations of other apostles in Jerusalem, made offerings at the temple (Acts 21:26), which involved animal sacrifices. And that was perfectly acceptable to those pure and biblical Christians, because all the Old Covenant sacrifices were symbols of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. So, although those symbols were obsolete because Jesus already made the final, completed sacrifice which the symbolic sacrifices symbolized, those symbols did not suddenly become evil and sinful, as some say. Absolutely nothing God commanded in His Old Covenant Law, including the animal sacrifices, can be considered to be evil. For God does not command anything that is evil!

False doctrines against temple sacrifices, any teaching declaring them to be a sin for all Christians, were invented by humanistic heretics who took over the churches in earlier centuries, who even transformed the Lord’s Supper, the Jewish Passover meal, into a pagan magic “sacrament” in the likeness of a meal dedicated to the Roman sun god. For those heretics wanted guard their dupes against any truly biblical doctrines that might enter the church through the Jews. So they developed slanderous propaganda against the Jews and against everything the Jews did, including propaganda against God’s ceremonial laws in the Old Covenant. They sacrificed everything from God for the sake of their antisemitic and humanistic heresies. So they began to teach that the bread at the Lord's Supper, which they called the Eucharist, magically became the body of Christ and claimed that those who partook of it received the real body of Christ into their bodies. Of course, this ridiculous notion originated from pagan superstitions, particularly from the ritualistic meals of Constantine’s pagan god, the Unconquered Sun. But, in reality, God’s only purpose for the Lord's Supper or Passover meal was to remember the sacrifice of God’s body through Jesus for the restoration of a relationship with Him. His elect were to meditate upon how His sacrifice feeds our souls and affects our lives, and so we will not put faith in the works or “sacraments” of men. For the Lord’s Supper or Passover meal reminds us that we are freed from slavery to Satan’s destructive world order into God’s church.

Literally all the rituals or ceremonies that God commanded His people to administer were for one and only one purpose, to remind His people about Him and His teachings and His works. Most were to remember His past works and meditate upon what they personally meant to each individual. And most sacrifices involved communal or family meals. So they were commanded by God in order to enhance fellowship with one another too. Not one commanded ritual or ceremony was ever meant to be a magic manipulation of God, in the way “sacraments” are used. Absolutely nothing done by man can begin to manipulate God’s decisions. Nothing of man can cause God to forgive anyone or cause God to send His Holy Spirit to anyone. The Lord’s Supper, it is simply a form of the Passover meal. Baptism is the “mikvah,” a ceremonial washing which God commanded in His Law. And I repeat, God commanded these rituals and ceremonies simply to remind His people about Himself, His ways and His works. Not one was ever meant to be a God-manipulating ritual like the pagan rituals were.

Because the main purpose of animal sacrifices was to symbolize Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins, to remind the people that only the blood of the innocent can atone for sinners and restore a right relationship with their God, only the blood of thee sinless Messiah can pay the price of true justice. A just God had to expel unrepentant sinners from His earthly kingdom in death, to prevent those sinners from further defiling His kingdom. But if a willing sinless sacrifice paid that price for the repented sins of the elect, then the just price would be paid and our holy God would be able to draw near to them. Therefore, if we make animal sacrifices, it will remind us of Jesus’ sacrifice, in the same way the Lord's Supper does. And remembering Jesus and His sacrifice clearly is not wrong, not forbidden by God. Jesus did not come to nullify God’s laws of the Old Covenant, and certainly did not come to transform God’s commandments into pagan rituals! Jesus came to fulfill all God’s laws.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Only the pagans thought their rituals were able to manipulate the decisions and actions of their false gods. Then false churches began to believe that their rituals could do the same. Former pagans in the early church began to think baptism and the Lord’s Supper were rituals commanded by a magic man, because those rituals could manipulate God's decisions and actions, could cause their forgiveness and salvation. So the real salvation—which subjugates one’s own mind of flesh to the mind of one’s own spirit through the spirit’s submission to the Holy Spirit of Jesus, allowing the spirit to learn the real truths about God, God’s words, God’s ways and God’s deeds—did not make any sense to those former pagans. For humanists suppress their spirits, and live solely by their minds of flesh. They seek on a religion which functions solely through thoughts of the mind of flesh, a religion which emphasizes “being,” that is, the appearance of being a man who controls his own destiny as his own high god. So their false churches did not want the real God of the Bible, who controls all destinies.

Roman humanists crushed the apostolic true church so they could make their dupes believe that a man must first be physically baptized in physical water or physically eat a wafer of bread at the Eucharist, in order to appease and magically manipulate God’s will. And this meant that the human priests and the recipients of those sacraments caused God to save them. This put man in charge of his own destiny, made high gods of men, cause human gods to rule over God. After all, Plato’s god, the only creator god they had ever known, was an impassive, cold, dead god, merely an intellect in the sky, whose undirected power allowed for a conditioned response of powerful lesser gods to magic words and rituals of men. Since Plato’s god was the only god they knew, they actually believed the God of the Bible was one and the same as Plato’s god, and arrogantly turned a deaf ear to anything which taught otherwise. In their minds, man’s “free will” caused man’s salvation by manipulating and enslaving god’s power through physical words and rituals. In the same way pagan Greco-Roman humanists thought they controlled and manipulated the actions of their demon gods, and make the wills of those pagan gods subject to their human wills, the church also began to think God's will was also subject to man's will. And that is actually blasphemy! For it denies literally all of God’s words.

But making an animal sacrifice in the Jerusalem temple, in obedience to God’s own Law, in order to remember what Jesus did for us, cannot be called blasphemy. Nor can ceremonially immersing one’s whole body in living water immediately after silently praying in humbling repentance, without a magic priest’s words to supposedly “sanctify” such a deeply private communion with God, be called a blasphemy, since it is merely obey God’s Law. No deed that obeys God’s law, when His Law is interpreted according to His intended meaning of that Law, and for His intended purposes, can ever be called a blasphemy. Just like all His other laws, fellowship and temple sacrifices cannot be sins!

In the Lord's Supper, Jesus simply changed the purpose of the Passover meal, by saying, “Do this in remembrance of Me,” instead of as a memorial of Yahweh God who delivered His elect from Egypt (e.g., I Cor. 11:23-26, cf., Ex. 12:14). And it was simply another declaration that Jesus is God, that His life-giving Spirit is not a human spirit, but is actually the Holy Spirit of the Creator, Yahweh. So then, the Old Covenant animal sacrifices, including the Passover lamb, merely remind us that God has already forgiven us for all our unintentional sins (e.g., Lev. 4), including our intentional sins when they become “unintentional” through a change of our intentions through our repentance. This forgiveness provides the atonement to restore our relationships with God. So, like the Lord's Supper, the time of animal sin sacrifices is a time of self-examination and repentance. Yet sacrifices were also for a time of warm fellowship and rejoicing in God's mercy and love, as His people feasted together on those sacrifices, just like families feasted on the sacrificed Passover lamb, which became the Lord's Supper for the New Covenant church. For all animal sacrifices symbolize Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, to bring atonement and the restoration of the relationship between God and His people.

Now, since Jesus did not come to nullify God's law, but to fulfill it (Mat. 5:17-18), and since God's law commanded animal sacrifices, Jesus did not come to nullify animal sacrifices. Rather, Jesus came to fulfill the symbolic purposes of animal sacrifices. Because animal sacrifices were done to remind God's people of the forgiveness and atonement they had already received from God, as well as to give thanksgiving to God, Jesus fulfilled all the laws of animal sacrifices, both for repentance and for thanksgiving to God, resulting in warm fellowship with God and with God’s people in joy. Thus, it will be perfectly acceptable for Christians to make animal sacrifices at the third temple in Jerusalem, if they do so in remembrance of all Jesus did on the cross and through His resurrection from the dead. Doing this is as right and acceptable in God's eyes as it is to celebrate the Passover Seder in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. For the Lord's Supper is the Passover Seder, which ate the sacrificed Passover lamb, whose blood kept death from entering the door of the soul.

Now look at another prophecy of Isaiah, magnifying God while denouncing gods invented by men, in order to comfort God’s true people. In this prophecy, it prophesied about the end times again, the times he described above. And, in these later prophecies, he also indicated that the “coastlands” or “islands” (distant lands in unspecified locations throughout the earth) will worship God as biblical Christian nations some time before Jesus' second advent, and at some time before the beast arrives.

Isaiah 40:1-2,5,10-11; 41:5,8-12; 42:1,4,10-14 (ESV): “Comfort, comfort My people, says

your God. ‘Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her

iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins.... And

the glory of [Yahweh] shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together , for the mouth of

the Lord has spoken.... Behold, the Lord [ Yahweh ] comes with might, and His arm rules for

Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. He will tend His

flock like a Shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms; He will carry them in His

bosom, and gently lead those that are with young....

“The coastlands have seen and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near

and come. [This refers to both all the people of the world and the beast's armies, which include his allies from

‘the ends of the earth,’ those coming to Armageddon, to war against God and His people.] ... But you, Israel,

My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham , My friend; you whom I

took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, 'You are

My servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off'; fear not, for I am with you; be not

dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with

My righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and

confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek

those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be

as nothing at all. [This obviously refers to the total destruction of Israel's enemies, of the beast’s armies at

Armageddon. This will not occur until the Lord Jesus returns. But it also hints at the conversion of their former

enemies, such as Egypt and the lands previously called Assyria, after a time of devastating warfare.] ...

“Behold My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen, in whom My soul delights; I have put My

Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.… He will not grow faint or be

discouraged till He has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for His law....

Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the

sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.

“Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar [Arabia?] inhabits; let

the habitants of Sela [southern Jordan?] sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the

 

Page 718

mountains. Let them give glory to [Yahweh], and declare His praise in the coastlands.

[Yahweh] goes out like a mighty Man, like a Man of war He stirs up His zeal; He cries out,

He shouts aloud, He shows Himself mighty against His foes. For a long time I have held

My peace; I have kept still and restrained Myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I

will gasp and pant. [This is about the time that God will completely destroy His enemies on earth, at Jesus'

second advent, the day He destroys the beast and all his armies in Armageddon.]”

Comforting His elect is actually God’s ultimate purpose for all His prophecies. And this is why these chapters include prophecies about the end times. God commanded Isaiah to tell His people about the distant future, to comfort and prepare them for the difficult days of the end times, so they would maintain hope during those bleak days, and even in the dark times throughout all history. But their hope will not see what it truly hopes for until after death and after the judgment day perfects them for eternal life in heaven. But there will also come a time when they see a semblance of loving and equitable justice on earth too, when Jesus, our God and Messiah, finally returns to us on this earth.

Part of His comforting is through His people. And He commanded this to His servants: “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins” (40:2). Jerusalem was the center of God’s priesthood, which was to minister to the entire world. But she repeatedly turned away from God and served only herself. Thus, with her high responsibility came a double punishment for her stubborn sins, until a time when she would repent. Wars would continue to plague her, until the day of her true repentance, which God will cause for her forgiveness. And this will occur on the day Jesus returns.

When it says Jerusalem received “double for all her sins,” this will be true for all influential servants in God’s priesthood, all who claim to be teachers of God’s Word or judge God’s people based upon His laws and ways. If they teach false doctrines or judge in unjust ways, their punishment shall be double that of the people they deceive or misjudge. For God always keeps His Word, and will even lead false teachers into the truth or false judges into just judgments, if their spirits ask Him. But, if they do not even ask, but lie and oppress the innocent, they will pay double for their sins, either here on earth or on the judgment day, because they willfully neglected their duties to God. God’s elect are to serve only God, as individual priests, each with a personally taught and informed spirit. Each elect soul is expected to act spontaneously upon the spirit’s God-instilled desires and minister according to whatever God reveals to their hearts. Then, since each unique elect soul is a part of a whole, so all will naturally and symbiotically benefit one another through love, in a fellowship full of rejoicing and life. But, if they instead chose to suppress their own elect spirits, so their flesh can follow human dictators like dull and heartless drones, killing one another in wars as their human gods strive for an ever greater gratification of their flesh, then God will punish those elect on earth more than the non-elect who simply do what their loveless spirits were made to do. If the elect forsake their heavenly Father’s counsel, it is a far greater sin than the sins of the non-elect, worthy of double punishment.

In the name of humanistic “free will,” the elect have made their wills of flesh into slaves of human gods and have oppressed their spirits into complete silence. And every human god’s will is a slave to Satan’s will. Thus, not only is this kind of sin stupid, causing senseless destruction to others while it destroys their own lives, but it also drains their own souls of all God’s comfort, hope and love. Since the true church of Israel is a special priesthood serving God, heeding Him, their punishment for failing to do this kind of inwardly joyful and fulfilling work is more harsh than it is for those same sins committed by those outside of His true church. The awakened elect who hinder the callings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit to their spirits, through the lusts and greed of their flesh, will be more severely punished for the same sins that the unawakened elect or non-elect commit. And the Jewish priests of

Page 719

Last Days Timeline

 

Israel who have access to the words of God are also punished more in their flesh than the Gentiles to whom those priests were to rightly teach and administer those words. For God is far more concerned about the spiritual welfare of His elect who dwell upon the earth than He is about the fatness and pleasures of their flesh. In fact, God has promised to kill the earthly flesh of all the spirits on earth.

God also prophesied about a day when “the Lord Yahweh comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; behold, His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him” (40:10). On that day, His “arm” or Messiah in a body of flesh, will rule the earth. And on that day His reward for His serving elect will come with Him, but His recompense against His enemies will occur before that day will end. This is the day Jesus will return in glory. “He will tend His flock like a Shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms; He will carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are with young” (40:11). There will be a millennium of peace, justice, equity and complete safety for all on the earth, just as the Revelation declares. “And the glory of Yahweh shall be revealed” in the Messiah, “and all flesh shall see it together” (40:5). So there will be no place on earth which lacks this glory of Jesus.

Here it declares that all flesh shall see His glory. All who are still alive in bodies of flesh on the earth on that day will physically see Jesus descending from the sky. There will be no “secret coming” of Jesus before His one and only advent, no unseen coming to supposedly “rapture” all the hypocritical members of false humanistic churches into the sky, to prevent their selfish flesh from partaking in the sufferings of Christ, to exalt them above all truly faithful martyrs of our God throughout history. There can be no “rapture” to keep the middle-class Christians comfortable in their carnal ways, to help them remain unfaithful to our God Jesus by pulling them up into heaven until the tribulations on earth end. Since those fake Christians actually serve Satan’s world order for that devil’s rewards, but do so while they bear the names of God, they will actually be punished more than most others will.

These verses (40:5,10-11) refer to the second advent of the Messiah Jesus. But notice that the Messiah will say “fear not … for I am your God” (40:10). And when it prophesies, “You shall rejoice in Yahweh, in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory” (40:16b), it means that His elect will rejoice in glorifying the Messiah. Thus, it is calling the Messiah by the the name of “Yahweh” again, just as many other Messianic prophecies do. For the “day of Yahweh” is the day of the Messiah.

Jesus is Yahweh God and will come with Yahweh’s reward for those whom He has made faithful, for those whom He has corrected by causing their flesh to endure the same sufferings that God’s own body of flesh endured, so we might also partake in the same love and joy that His Spirit experienced with us while His body walked among us. For the whole reason that our God grants our elect spirits these perceptions of material existence is so we may learn to love. Our spirits begin to love Him and everything He says or does. Then that kind of love teaches us to love one another. By balancing the needs of our own fragile flesh with the needs of other human flesh, and the needs of life in the rest of His material creations, we learn the wisdom and justice of love, the need for self-sacrifice, even the need to die in the flesh. This is the reward Yahweh Messiah will bring, along with all the earthly effects of that reward. Then all our trials and pains of our flesh will soon be forgotten, like a mother soon forgets the pains of childbirth, as she serves the helpless object of her love placed in her arms.

Yet Jesus will indeed come with recompense against the unjust as well. His wrath will burn all the loveless wicked souls standing below Him and His angels as He descends to rule the earth, all before He even sets His feet upon the Mount of Olives and walks to the temple in Jerusalem. On that day, the repentance of the remnant of Israel will begin, even as He is still descending, even as they see Him destroying the non-elect among them and those attacking their city. Then the beast and his

international armies will suddenly turn away from them, to perish in chaos and rage before their eyes. At the same time, all the loveless non-elect existing on the face of the whole earth will die.

Only after our God Jesus cleanses the earth of all demonic spirits and their human children, will we see His body of flesh touch the humble soil on the hill across from the temple, together with a host of resurrected elect souls. From there, He will walk in peace to the eastern gate of the temple, enter its courtyards and teach the truths necessary to fulfill the repentance of all Israel. In glory, restoring the earth day after day, as men receive His counsel and power, He will rule the planet for an entire millennium, with countless Jewish and Gentile elect serving as His priests over all the world, each with personal zeal, each spontaneously from the spirit, with all the heart that is in each. Thus, His rewards will pour upon His refreshed and faithful people, and upon His restored natural creations.

Now remember, the Lord Yahweh is a Spirit and this Spirit, the uncreated Spirit of God, is the only Spirit in Jesus’ body. Jesus does not have a created human spirit, as we do. But His Spirit will dwell beside our spirits, inside us. God’s reward and works of peace, restoration and justice come with Jesus because the whole of God dwells in the body of Jesus, and because Jesus will send His Spirit, with all His Spirit’s knowledge and power, to dwell in us. So we will serve as His body on the earth, with His almighty power in us, to command the restoration and renewal of His creations everywhere we go, all according to His will. Loving miracles will follow His awakened elect whenever His power is needed in the lives of His people and in nature. So nothing will be left undone that should be done. Nothing shall be lacking for life to flourish and thrive everywhere upon the whole earth.

These chapters in Isaiah (40 to 42) are some of the most beautiful in all the Scriptures, and some of the richest in meaning. But notice how Yahweh called Himself our Shepherd (40:11), which means that all humans are His sheep. And there is a great difference between the mind and understanding of the wise Shepherd and the very small, very limited, obsessive, short-sighted, blindly led minds and understanding of the sheep. In fact, sheep are so limited that they cannot survive without the works and interventions of the Shepherd. Therefore, no human sheep can, without committing extreme blasphemy, ever claim to be a shepherd of other sheep, not in same way Yahweh Jesus claims to be our Shepherd. No human can make laws and govern the sheep effectively. And all lead-sheep, whom the other sheep follow as though that sheep is a shepherd, must lead the other sheep to the real and effectively wise Shepherd, or wherever the Shepherd tells them to go, so they all may live and thrive.

And Jesus claimed to be Yahweh, the one and only good Shepherd, when He said, “I AM [i.e., ἐγώ εἰμι is the translation of God’s name, Yahweh, in the Septuagint] the good Shepherd. I know My own and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold [i.e., the Gentile elect outside of Israel where He was teaching at that time]. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be one flock, one Shepherd’ (John 10:14-16, ESV). Jesus claimed to be Yahweh by: (1) using the Greek phrase ἐγώ εἰμι, which Greek-speaking Jews associated with God’s name; (2) using the phrase “the good Shepherd,” in association with Isaiah 40:11, since all Jews knew that no man is good, and only Yahweh could be called “the good Shepherd”; (3) claiming that all elect Jews and Gentiles are sheep who belong to Him, although none but Yahweh can call them “My sheep”; and (4) by claiming He brings souls into His flock of Israel, although Yahweh alone is able to choose the Jews or Gentiles brought into Israel. To the Jews, all that Jesus said here was a claim to be Yahweh, the one and only good Shepherd of Israel. All the devout and well-taught Jews hearing Jesus knew that “the good Shepherd” was a title exclusively reserved for Yahweh God. And Jesus spoke these words in front of devout, well-taught Jews. Jesus made certain that there was no mistake about His claim to be

Yahweh, the Shepherd God prophesied about through Isaiah. So Jesus was claiming that He will fulfill all Isaiah’s prophecies, but at a latter time, after He would bring all elect Gentiles into Israel.

So the Messiah Jesus will “tend His flock like a Shepherd” and “His reward” will be “with Him” when He returns. And Jesus will not come to save any denomination of humanistic and antisemitic Gentiles, but rather all the elect Gentiles and Jews remaining alive in the world. Furthermore, this Messianic prophecy, in context, obviously focuses upon the physical Jews, upon the elect offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who had been scattered to “the ends of the earth” before the prophesied end times would begin. And, just like all the other prophets, Isaiah here prophesied that God would gather at least some Jews into the land of Israel again, from the “farthest corners” of the earth, and do this even before the wars in the Middle East began, long before Egypt and Assyria began to worship Him, which itself will happen long before the beast attacks. And God also said to these end-time Jews, “I have chosen you and not cast you off.” So the elect must never say God cast them off.

Yet, I repeat, most churches today preach forms of replacement theology which claims that God has “cast off” the Jews and replaced the Jews with their own Gentile members. Now clearly, God is not a fickle God in the way those churches boldly claim God is fickle. All those humanistic churches will declare that God breaks His solemn promises through angry whims. But the prophets and apostles all declared that God always keeps all His promises, that God also fulfills literally every word of all His prophecies that He has granted us through them. Thus, we conclude that God never rejected Israel!

God will call Israel His “servant” in the end times, His priesthood created to serve the world in His name. Of course, Gentiles will be His “servants” too. There will be the Gentile priesthood of His true church serving the one true God everywhere on earth, with wise Gentile teaching and judging elders sent to every people on the earth. And those Gentiles will be like the Jewish Levites. But there will also need to be a host nation serving the world’s King and High Priest in the temple of Jerusalem and in all the lands of Israel supporting Him and His works. That nation which hosts the Creator’s Spirit in the body of that Man will be Israel. This was why God created Israel through Abraham in the very beginning, and told Abraham: “I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you” (Gen. 12:2-3, WEB).

Yahweh in Jesus has declared, and always will declare, that He did not cast off “the offspring of Abraham.” To the very end of time, long after Jesus returns, the physical descendants of Israel, “the offspring of Abraham” through Jacob, will be called His servants, His priests and His friends. God has elected many Jews and Gentiles to labor beside Him in His earthly and heavenly kingdoms, and can never cast them off. For His choices are perfect, without error, planned and fulfilled to the full, never able to fail. This is why Scripture after Scripture declares the truth of the eternal calling of Israel through His eternal covenants with them, both the Abrahamic and New Covenants. For God cannot break His eternal covenants with them. God did not make a mistake when He chose the Jews as His people, as His priesthood, as His blessed host for all the other nations on earth. The gifts and callings of an omniscient, omnipotent God always must be invariable and irrevocable (Rom. 11:29).

God has taught, strengthened and trained Israel throughout all the past centuries. And, through all that God has done for and against the Jews, God has also been teaching, strengthening and training all the elect Gentiles of the world too. Jesus has upheld the Jews with a just and loving hand, though He has not tolerated their worship of human gods or other forms of wickedness. And, after God first blessed and disciplined the elect Jews, God also blessed and disciplined His elect Gentile children too. For Jesus loves both His Jewish and Gentile elect children equally, although He has assigned

 

Page 722

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

His elect Jewish children a slightly different form of labor in His earthly kingdom. His Jewish elect will host elect Gentiles who shall visit Him in Israel, although that will not diminish any of the roles He has predestined for His Gentile elect. Rather, the Jewish elect will host the Gentile elect visitors in Israel to strengthen their ministries, to fulfill their callings in the Messiah, to complete their joy.

Even as God has humbled and disciplined Israel in her sins, God has also cursed Israel’s enemies and put them to shame many times. God has confounded her enemies in many wars over the years. God began to draw the Jews back to their promised land when the increased persecutions of His Jewish and Gentile elect marked the beginning of the current fifth seal’s era, to prepare for the end times. So their humanistic enemies, especially the humanistic Muslims and secular fascists, rebelled against God’s plans and attacked Israel. But God confounded and destroyed the plans of those enemies, and the enemies themselves. For those enemies sinned in even worse ways than the humanistic Israelis did. And the Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora remain in their lies and sins. But soon Jesus Himself will enter the hearts of many in the nations that now war against them, and transform many of those Gentile nations into strong allies of Israel. Then, in the very end, Jesus will also save all of the Jews.

During the last half of the world’s great tribulations before the return of Jesus, we will see Israel and their Gentile Christian allies defend themselves in a war against the fascist Roman kingdoms of the beast. And, although the beast will overcome them for a time, Jesus will come and destroy the beast's armies at Armageddon. Then the world will know that it is not by physical might and power, not by the methods of the Roman humanists, that salvation can be achieved. Rather, it is by the might and power of God’s just and loving Holy Spirit that the people will be saved. And God will only grant the inheritance of His temporary earth and His eternal heaven to the just, loving, humble, hard-working elect who worship Him in their spirits and in truth, not to the arrogant who try to steal it from Him by force. Those who rule through terrorism and money will all eternally perish in hell.

Clearly, this prophecy is about the Messiah Jesus, our Creator God Yahweh in a body of flesh, coming to save and restore both Israel and the entire world during the end times. For Yahweh said: “Behold My Servant whom I uphold, My Chosen, in whom My soul delights; I have put [Hebrew = nathan, “given, put, set, appointed, committed”] My Spirit upon [Hebrew preposition = al, “upon, over, above] Him” (Is. 42:1). So the Creator God, who is a non-material Spirit dwelling in His created spiritual space-time continuum, “committed” His Spirit to the Messiah. Thus, Yahweh God would come down to the earth to rule over the elect whose spirits were created in His image. Our God Jesus, the Messiah, would be God in a human body, and would bring justice to the earth, and would save His elect from the lies and sins of Satan’s world order. For no human being is one’s own master of one’s own destiny. All the infantile spirits of human beings are manipulated by ruling spirits, either by the teaching and training of God’s Holy Spirit or by the teaching and training of Satan’s very evil spirit.

The Spirit in Jesus is not a human spirit, but the whole of God, who is the only uncreated Spirit. So Christ’s Spirit could never be “taken captive” by His mind of flesh. The desires, errors, foolishness, impulses and selfishness of the external mind of amoral flesh could never overcome the desires of Christ’s internal, omniscient, omnipotent mind of His Holy Spirit of God. The Scriptures remind us that our own emotions and desires from our minds of flesh often overcome or “take captive” our infantile human spirits (e.g., Rom. 7:15-23). Our weak spirits are often are deceived and suppressed by our minds of flesh. But God’s Spirit in Jesus always ruled over all the thoughts and actions of His entire being, and never allowed His mind of His created body of flesh to overcome the mind of His uncreated Spirit. Thus, Jesus was the only Man in all history who was able to be perfectly loving and entirely sinless from the moment of His conception. And this is what made Jesus the only Man in all history who was qualified to die for our sins. For only a sinless sacrifice can pay for sins—even for

Page 723

Last Days Timeline

 

an unlimited number of sins committed by many sinners, since a sacrifice was often made for an unspecified number of people, and a sacrifice can only die once, no matter how many sins for which it pays the price of atonement. But a sinner can only die once too, and it does not pay for one’s sins.

Now, when it says this Messiah, Jesus, will bring God's justice to all the world, the first aspect of that justice was achieved by making the just payment for the sins of all whom He predestined to repent from their sins, to restore the relationship of His elect with Himself, so He could work in their lives. And our God completed this first step about 2,000 years ago, so He could begin to prepare His elect for His final works, which He would complete during the end times. Then the next aspect of bringing justice into the world was the process of working in the lives of the elect, by teaching and training their spirits to recognize sin and understand how their sins harm God’s people and God’s kingdom. And this part of the process takes time, when working with easily manipulated infantile human spirits who learn very slowly. But, eventually, God would disseminate enough truth, through many elect, to begin the end times, when He would return to rule the world in justice. And now that process of teaching and training elect spirits has almost enabled them to love God, to love others in the family of humankind, and to love His creations in a truly just way. Thus, the end times are near.

This prophecy is primarily about the works of the Messiah Jesus in the end times, including what He will do after He returns. But, before He can do anything good for anyone, He must first destroy the psychopathic world order, especially the humanists who oppress and steal from everyone they can, who even destroy nature, the source of food and drink for the people. So, during the plagues in the eras of the sixth and seventh seals: “Yahweh goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war He stirs up His zeal; He cries out, he shouts aloud, He shows Himself mighty against His foes” (42:13). Jesus will begin by destroying the infrastructures of Satan’s world order, at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era. Then He will pause for about twenty years, to build up His true church. After that, He will spend the next twenty years causing the deaths of the wicked throughout the earth, with the plagues of the first six trumpets, until all the non-elect shall gather around the demonic Roman beast. Lastly, the plagues of the seven bowls of wrath against that beast will begin, during the time of the seventh trumpet, all occurring just weeks before Jesus returns. Finally, Jesus will come to slaughter all who have not repented before He sets His feet upon the earth, and the millennium of peace will begin.

Many do not like to hear about how Jesus will cause all this death and destruction to destroy evil on earth. But those who hate to hear this the most are the humanists, because they somehow think they are innocent, good people. For those humanists work very hard to build up the financial systems which terrorize the majority of their siblings into slavishly serving human gods in their hierarchies, to bow before monsters for their survival. Then humanists also cause many of their own siblings to become homeless and starve, especially in foreign lands, so their own slaves will more submissively worship them through the fear of becoming homeless themselves. And those humanists see nothing wrong with the use of this terrorism, nor with their “right” to make siblings die of starvation. For humanists point out that this is the Roman system, and that there can be no other system, since God’s system is not Roman. “Surely,” they say, “all rational souls know it right to destroy the people and the lands that grow food, so a few elite human gods can temporarily live in luxury, until those elite also destroy themselves too.” For humanists know that following God’s laws and ways, by justly and equitably providing for all, by rightly tending the gardens of the earth and taking responsibility for the animals, would nullify their ability to feel like gods. Their hellish father told them God’s ways are horrible, only worthy to be derided and mocked. So they blindly believe their father and destroy life for all their siblings, and for themselves, so they too can pretend to be gods for a few moments.

 

Page 724

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

But our God Jesus sees the sins of these Roman humanists, who have taken over most of the world. So He will destroy them, because every time He shows them how His just and equitable ways will effectively benefit everyone, they war against Him and murder His messengers. Thus, our God tells them, “For a long time I have held My peace; I have kept still and restrained Myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant. I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn the rivers into [dry land] and dry up the pools” (42:14-15). God wrote His just, equitable ways in all His creations and in His Word granted to His world-wide priests of Israel. Yet the world ignored God and heeded Satan, since they wanted to become vain gods like Satan and his demons, because they wanted to control their own destinies, and even terrorize their siblings into serving them instead of God. And now they have destroyed life everywhere on earth.

Literally every just concept on earth, since the day God gave Adam the ability to discern between good and evil, originated from God, as He taught human spirits about love. But Jesus brought even more justice into the world since His first advent. God revealed much more truth to the world since His Holy Spirit began to teach and call the spirits of His forgiven elect servants after His first advent, compelling them to proclaim His just and equitable truths to the world. Through Jesus, we learned that all humans are spiritually equal—not equally good, but equally sinful, equally indebted to God and equally in need of God’s grace for forgiveness and restoration. This equal indebtedness of all human beings—of every man, woman and child—obligates all powers and all states to serve God by providing equal justice, grace and mercy for all human beings. And this truth nullifies the works of unjust, wanna-be human gods who refuse to repent from their lies and delusions, who steal God’s resources meant for others, who terrorize their siblings into serving them instead of serving God.

God will destroy those wanna-be gods. But, for the humbled elect who are made able to love, Jesus will grant His grace, with forgiveness and mercy, since those elect will truly repent. Jesus has fully exposed and silenced every unjust superstition or lie over the past two thousand years. Therefore, the time has come for repentance throughout the earth, and He will divide the repentant from those who refuse to repent. Jesus expects His elect to free slaves and oppressed souls; build effective welfare nets and health care systems for all their siblings in humankind; and do everything He commanded His loving, just Law, as it’s intended meanings are fulfilled through Jesus. Those who remain unjust, especially the Roman humanists striving to oppose God’s sovereignty and justice, will be brought to justice on the judgment day, after they perish in the coming plagues of the end times. Not one of them will remain on earth by the time our Judge sets His feet upon the Mount of Olives on that day.

All concepts of real love, truth and justice originated from our God Jesus, which He has revealed through His spiritual and physical creations, through His Word granted to His priesthood of Israel, and through His Spirit’s personal teaching of our own spirits. Apart from Jesus, our Creator and God, loving justice cannot even exist. So, if men ignore Jesus and His Holy Spirit, men can only invent a self-serving evil formed through sinful desires like demonic greed and selfish ambition, systematized in a way that forces a deluded majority to serve them as gods. Only God can create laws and ways that function effectively, in the ways He designed His creations to function. But men want to create their own laws, so they can delude themselves into thinking they are gods, so they can make others believe that they deserve their esteem and service, so they can be worshiped. Laws invented by men falsely justify their sinful exploitation, vanity, oppression and murder. All man-made laws are unjust, subjective, invented solely to enable men to gain profit and power at the expense of others. Men can never build true, universal and objective justice for all. For all real justice must be based on God’s wise and loving laws, as they are also interpreted by God. All the best and truest concepts of real justice entered this world through God, as He revealed them to men, beginning in the days of Adam.

And God’s Law was disseminated in its clearest and most comprehensive form after Jesus came in a body of flesh to teach it to us. Our Messiah’s personal influence for true good in this world has been exponentially greater than the influence of all other religions, philosophies and concepts of men combined. Yet most of the world still tries to ignore Jesus. Most of the world still heeds only the greedy, arrogant, rich, warmongering, power-hungry wanna-be human gods who lead them into sin and death. The Roman humanists have conquered the entire world with their concepts of human gods ruling over hierarchies of oppressed lower classes. And the people have loved their ways, but resisted God’s teachings of just love. For the people are caught in a trap, and cannot even think outside the confines of the Platonic concepts taught by those Roman humanists, to free themselves and repent into the ways of God. As a result, those humanists have almost destroyed this entire planet. They have caused so much suffering and so many unjust deaths that God’s own direct power must soon fall upon the entire earth, to destroy those Romans and their lies which destroy all life.

As the prophecies declare, we will see the return of our God Jesus and the millennium. Jesus shall finally establish justice over all the earth. And lands in the Middle East, together with at least some “coastlands” (lands far from Israel) shall become Christian nations who “wait for His Law” to be fulfilled in them and through them at His return. These “coastlands” will be Christian nations scattered throughout the earth. But only these New Covenant worshipers of Yahweh will “wait for His Law,” will wait for Jesus to establish justice on the earth. The Old Covenant Jewish worshipers will not wait for it, but will strive to do works of their own hands to fulfill the shadow of that Law revealed through Moses. They will seek justice through their own flesh and according to their own interpretations of their own minds of flesh. Yet even those Old Covenant Jews, when Jesus returns, will repent into the fulfilled Law, which is worked in their elect spirits through Jesus’ Holy Spirit.

Before Jesus returns, there will be some far-off lands who will repent and will be waiting for Yahweh Jesus to come, waiting for Jesus to fulfill God's just and loving ways on the earth. But this definitely has not happened yet. Almost all Christianity on the earth today is fake, since it is humanistic. And humanism is the opposite of Christianity. So the prophecies about Christian “coastlands” or “islands” who worship Yahweh the Messiah must be referring to Christian nations from some other period of time. Those Christian nations will be formed in the end times, after the sixth seal’s revival and a few decades before Jesus returns, and before the beast’s reign. But the current era of the fifth seal is near its end, and the era of the sixth seal will begin soon. Thus, there will soon be at least some Gentile nations, located far from Israel, who will become faithful and true Christian nations, who will then fight with Israel to oppose the the fascist beast’s dominant world power during his seven-year reign.

In this prophecy, God said: “Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants” (Is. 42:10). This is speaking about lands far from Israel, at the “end of the earth.” These “coastlands” or “islands” are over the oceans, because people had to “go down to the sea” to get to them, and these far-off lands also “fill” the sea. These far-off nations will be singing a “new song,” not the song of Moses. In Isaiah's language, this “new song” refers to a new relationship with God in the Messiah Jesus, through what Jeremiah called God’s New Covenant. And these far-off Gentile nations will be praising God at a time which, in the context of this Messianic prophecy about the end times, must be shortly before the day of Jesus’ second advent, and before the time of the beast. Therefore, after the revival of the true church in the sixth seal’s era, after God’s “sealing” of the saints (i.e., of separated and sanctified elect), some far-off lands will become truly Christian nations, located far from Israel and the Middle East. And these lands will naturally oppose and war against the fascist Roman beast.

 

Page 726

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

The prophecies say that Egypt, former Assyrian lands and other nations near to Israel, as well as some far-off nations, will be truly Christian nations; and therefore democratic, equitable, free and just, according to the fulfilled Law of God in Jesus. These lands will be glorifying and praising God before Jesus returns, likely starting sometime during the era of the sixth seal. For the next verses of this prophecy say: “Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits [i.e., Bedouins, from regions of Petra and Arabia] ; let the habitants of Sela [Edom, in modern Jordan] sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to [Yahweh], and declare His praise in the coastlands” (42:11-12). So there will be true Christians in the Middle East, who will “declare His praise in the coastlands.” In other words, the Christian lands in the Middle East will visit and communicate with the far-off Christian lands in other parts of the world. This implies that the true Christians around the world will have safe lands to flee into, and the humanists will likely all gather in the non-Christians lands, which will eventually become allies of the fascist European beast.

So Egypt, lands previously belonging to Assyria, Pathros (Sudan), Cush (Ethiopia and Sudan), Elam (Iran), Shinar (Iraq) and Hamath (Syria and Turkey) will become Christian nations (Is. 11:10-11), as well as the inhabitants of Kedar (Arabia) and Sela (Jordan) mentioned above. Of course, all these lands will be devastated by wars first, as well as the plagues of the seven trumpets. But the surviving remnant will be true Christians, not humanists. And most of these lands that will be truly Christian nations are currently thoroughly humanistic Muslim nations. Muslims will soon declare Yahweh’s praise, a good opinion of the Messiah, praise for our God Jesus, in the coming end times, as they are all waiting for Him to return. And, if many thoroughly humanistic Muslims will repent into the truth, then many of the humanists in the fake “Christian” churches might also repent into the truth as well.

Meanwhile, “Yahweh goes out like a mighty Man, like a Man of war.” Our God Jesus, the Messiah, will war against Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom, and against all other evils on the earth. Jesus will come to rescue His elect in Israel and His Gentile elect in the world. Like the other prophecies, Isaiah does not differentiate between Yahweh and the Messiah, since the Messiah is Yahweh. For almost two thousand years after His first advent, the Messiah has held His peace and has not destroyed all the oppressors of His people, neither secular nor theistic humanists who so violently crushed and silenced His elect messengers of truth. And for thousands of years before that He held His peace as the wicked prospered and destroyed His elect. For there were many duped elect among those wicked murderers. But once the polarization of the elect and non-elect is complete, after He forms an almost complete dichotomy between the two, He will strike the wicked, and remove them all from the earth. God fully intended to wait a long time before He would divide the elect from the non-elect, before He would “seal” the spirits with an innate love for Him and His truth, to separate them from the spirits who love the darkness of delusions and lies. For the elect were slow to learn. But this separation had to occur before Jesus could utterly destroy the wicked, so the elect would first know Him and His ways, then follow Him as their King and High Priest in the millennium.

God’s works during the eras of the first six seals, as well as His works of the first five trumpets during the era of the seventh seal, will complete this separation of the elect from the non-elect. This is the reason God held His peace “for a long time.” But His second coming will severely judge the wicked, after all His elect repent to Him. Jesus’ first advent was for the purpose of turning elect hearts back to Him, back to their God. Regarding His first advent, Jesus said, “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:17, ESV). And this is the work Jesus has been doing during the eras of the first five seals, over the last two thousand years. But soon this work will be complete, after the revival of the sixth seal’s era, when He awakens and personally teaches elect spirits. Then, after that work is done, He

 

Page 727

will come again. So, regarding His second advent, He said, “The Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay each person according to what he has done’ (Mat. 16:27, ESV). His second coming will be for judgment. After He effectively separates His sheep from the devil’s bullying goats throughout the entire earth, the destruction of those goats will begin. His warfare against the wicked will strike blow after blow against them during the times of the seven trumpets, in the seventh-seal’s era. And He will finish them off at His second coming.

Isaiah 45:14-25: “Thus says [Yahweh]: ‘The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush

[Sudan and Ethiopia, the Nubians] , and the Sabeans [likely the people of Sheba in what is now Yemen on

the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, but can include lands across the Red Sea in Africa, in what

is now Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia], men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours; they

shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you . They will plead with

you, saying: “Surely God is in you, and there is no other, no god besides Him.”’ Truly, you

are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior. All of them are put to shame and

confounded; the makers of idols go in confusion together. But Israel is saved by [Yahweh]

with everlasting salvation ; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity .

“For thus says [Yahweh], who created the heavens (He is God!), who formed the earth and

made it (He established it; He did not create it empty, He formed it to be inhabited!): ‘I am

[Yahweh], and there is no other. I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say

to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek Me in vain.” I [Yahweh] speak the truth; I declare what is

right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They

have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that

cannot save. Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this

long ago ? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, [Yahweh]? And there is no other god besides

Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all the

ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

“By Myself I have sworn; from My mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not

return: “To Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.” Only in

[Yahweh], it shall be said of Me, are righteousness and strength; to Him shall come and be

ashamed all who were incensed against Him. In [Yahweh] all the offspring of Israel shall be

justified and shall glory.’”

God spoke the above words through Isaiah prior to about 680 BC, and began with a prophecy about a future Persian king named Cyrus (45:1-13), who ruled from about 559 to 530 BC. God told the Jews that He would open and close doors for Cyrus, and call Cyrus by his name, although Cyrus did not know Yahweh, the Creator of all existence. God would cause Cyrus to think and act in a certain way, for His purposes, according to His will, although Cyrus did not know Him. Then Cyrus would would restore the city of the Jews, Jerusalem. For God manipulates rulers and their people through His power, either for their good or for their own destruction, but ultimately for the good of His elect.

Then God began a prophecy about the end times: “The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours; they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will plead with you, saying: ‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other, no God besides Him’” (45:14). This is about African nations, where Cush was south of Egypt and the Sabeans were a trading kingdom south of Cush. But this event will occur just prior to the time when “Israel is saved by Yahweh with everlasting salvation” and “shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity” (45:17). And it occurs at a time when God will

say: “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God and there is no other” (45:22). So this is definitely an end-times prophecy, about times just before and after the Messiah will return.

This prophecy declares that Sabean “men of stature,” likely rulers in Africa and possibly the south-west corner of the Arabian peninsula, will come to Israel, together with men from Egypt and Cush, during the end times. And they will give gifts to Israel, although they come to Israel in chains. But those chains do not seem to be put on them by Israel, because these Africans seem to be pleading with Israel, even bowing down to Israel, solely because Yahweh God dwells in Israel, and because those Africans want to be freed from the chains that were put on them by some other nations who hates the God of Israel. In other words, they want Israel to fight with them against an enemy of God and Israel, who is oppressing their African nations. For Israel has a powerful army upheld by God.

If we harmonize this with other prophecies, we know that the Roman beast will take over the Middle East and parts of Africa at the beginning of his seven-year reign, which will be after all those nations have become Christian nations who worship Yahweh Jesus. So this would explain why these African nations are invoking the name of God in Israel, and why they are in chains. These Africans are being oppressed by the beast, and they have come to beg Israel to side with them in a rebellion against the beast. Then Israel will war against the beast, and drive out the beast’s armies, as soon as the beast is distracted by wars caused by rival secular nations to the north and east of the beast’s kingdom. But, a few years later, after conquering those rival secular nations and near the end of his seven-year reign, that beast will return to Israel with a vengeance, and with allies from around the world. And this time the beast will not come to merely conquer and oppress, but to utterly destroy Israel and Jerusalem, where the worship of God originated and where His worshipers expect their Messiah to return. Yet God Himself will destroy that beast and his armies in Israel, together with all the non-elect on earth.

Here God was prophesying through Isaiah about times that would occur more than two and a half millenniums after that day. In Isaiah’s lifetime, Babylon, the head of the beast, just began to rise up and war against God. And this war against God would continue until Babylon’s fourth kingdom of the beast had formed Satan’s world-wide, anti-God religion of Roman humanism, and that religion had conquered all other non-biblical belief systems in the world. But, as soon as the beast’s Roman kingdom had finished the creation of its ultimate anti-God religion, God’s Messiah came to establish God’s New Covenant relationship with all of His elect in the world. So, as the devil’s religious kingdom of Roman humanism was just in its infancy, God also planted His invisible true church, and it too would grow until it became a visible kingdom ruling over all the earth. Both these kingdoms would exist until God returned in His Messiah during the end times—which will begin soon, after this current era of the fifth seal. Then the elect remnant on earth would say: “Truly, You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior. All of them are put to shame and confounded; the makers of idols go in confusion together” (45:15-16). And the maker of human idols, the worshipers of human gods, will die in their confusion and shame on the day that God returns in His Messiah.

Isaiah received words and saw visions about key events in a massive time span of more than two and a half millenniums. So his prophecies include various intermediate times, and pass from one period of time to another, centuries or even millenniums apart. This makes it difficult to know when he is talking about one time or another. But there are reasons for switching from prophecies about the near future to end-time prophecies. So this chapter (45) began with a prophecy about Cyrus, who ruled from 559-530 BC, more than a hundred years after Isaiah was killed in about 680 BC. First Babylon would conquer Israel and take Jewish captives to Babylon in 604, 597 and 586 BC. Then Babylon would be conquered by the Persians, and their king Cyrus would free the Jewish exiles so they could rebuild the city of Jerusalem in about 538 BC, just as Isaiah prophesied. But the times of Israel being

Page 729

punished by God through their conquest and subjugation to Babylon and Persia, then later by the Greek and Roman kingdoms arising from Babylon’s religion of humanism did not inspire much hope for Israel. So Isaiah also prophesied about how God would save all Israel from the four Babylonian kingdoms in the end times. Their hope was to rest in their Messiah’s salvation in the distant future, in His eternal earthly kingdom that would become His kingdom in heaven. Israel’s hope was not to rest in a temporary earthly kingdom ruled by mere men, like they would have until the Messiah arrives.

Also remember that Cush and Sheba were distant insignificant lands in those days, so Babylon and Persia did not pay much attention to them. Thus, the context of the prophecy which begins in verse 14 only allows for one other possible nation that would put them in chains, which is the future beast descended from Babylon and Persia. Furthermore, it must be about a time in the distant future, when these nations become significant in Isaiah’ prophesied Middle East conflicts with Israel, just before the time when Egypt and those other lands convert to Christianity. This must be talking about how Egypt, Cush and Sheba (or Saba or the Sabeans) will someday bow before Israel through their belief in Israel’s God during the end times. And, since this occurs while God saves Israel at the time when the Messiah Jesus returns, it clearly relates to the time when the Roman beast’s final attack on Israel.

As we see below, this part of this chapter is about the end times, just before the return of Jesus. And most of the earth worships idols at this time, particularly “the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man” (Is. 44:13), which refers to the idolatry of human worshiping humanists. Since the foremost idols on earth will be human beings, they will be humanists. This was Isaiah’s way of identifying their idol worship as what we now call the religion of humanism. So this prophecy is saying that these African nations will go to Israel in the end times, as captives of the beast, to solicit the help of Israel so they might truly worship Yahweh, because the beast is suppressing their worship. Other nations will also fall into the bondage of the beast’s secular humanist European nations. But, in the Middle East and east Africa, they “shall come over to [Israel] and be [Israel’s]; they shall follow [Israel].” They will become allies and helpers of Israel, in the wars which Daniel prophesied about, against the beast—both in the first war against the beast at the beginning of the beast’s seven-year reign, and in the rebellion against the beast’s occupying forces during the middle of the beast’s seven-year reign. Then all will face the beast’s wrath near the end of his seven-year reign, but will be delivered from the beast on the day the Messiah Jesus will return. And all must maintain this hope.

Since all this will occur in New Covenant times, and since these lands are now Muslim or partly Muslim nations, and since even Christians in these places are not real Christians at the present time (since their churches are humanistic), we can assume that there will be extremely devastating and life-altering circumstances that will occur very soon. Times will come when whole nations will repent in deep godly sorrow to the truths of God, and convert to true Christianity. So we can assume that this conversion will not occur until the sixth seal’s era or shortly after it. When the economies and governments fall apart after their infrastructures are destroyed by the world-wide earthquakes and striking meteors, everything will change, throughout the world. And the elect will turn to God.

Here we see how this part of this chapter refers to the “everlasting salvation” of Israel, and how she will “not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.” Therefore, this is definitely about the true church of the end times, which will exist throughout the millennium and will ascend into heaven after that. So that true Jewish and Gentile priesthood of Israel is the only eternal kingdom which shall ever exist on earth, with the only “everlasting salvation” that God grants to souls on earth. So we know, with all certainty, that this prophecy is about the end times, before and after Jesus returns.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

This prophecy is about a time when God declares a message to everyone on earth, and the only time He will do this is in the end times: “For thus says [Yahweh] who created the heavens (He is God!), who formed the earth and made it (He established it; He did not create it empty, He formed it to be inhabited!); ‘I am [Yahweh], and there is no other. I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek Me in vain.” I, [Yahweh], speak the truth; I declare what is right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save. Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, [Yahweh]? And there is no god besides Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. By Myself I have sworn; from My mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: To Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance” (Is. 45:18-23, ESV). So here God is addressing all the earth. And His proclamation will end with all the “survivors of the nations,” who will be only the elect, bowing before Yahweh Jesus and swearing allegiance to Him.

All the elect on earth can believe God’s promise, for He always and invariably keeps His promises. The one true Creator God has never, ever said, “Seek Me in vain.” Rather, He is a Spirit who will respond to every spirit that truly seeks Him, the real God. And all elect spirits were born with an innate desire to find Him, the real God. Nor will the real God ever allow the earth to ever become uninhabited by His elect human children, since the only reason He formed it was for that purpose, to be inhabited by them. But He does not come to grant us the rewards of Satan’s world order, nor to give us our own little earthly kingdoms. Our God Jesus will come for our “everlasting salvation,” to create a functioning family of the heavenly Father, to build an eternal kingdom which shall labor beside Him in heaven, serving all the life existing there, including all the life that once lived on the earth. For all the spirits of life in all plants and animals on earth will dwell in new bodies made of eternal spiritual substances in heaven. So we will eternally serve them too, together with our God.

The Holy Spirit of God is always speaking to elect spirits, even to elect spirits who are like Cyrus, who did not know the one true Creator God, who had never heard any of His words in the Scriptures. So, when our spirits call to Him, when we stop seeking Him through our minds of flesh, when our spirits wake and desire His purposes, He always hears us and responds. And He speaks candidly, openly and without hiding the truth from us, as to His beloved children, telling our infantile spirits all we are able to hear. The real God is nothing like the demons and human gods of cults. All those cults are secretive organizations, hiding their vain and wicked words and thoughts from the people, because their gods are destroyers of their people, and do not want anyone to know their malicious motives or intentions. The demonic and human gods of cults need to cover their faces with virtual or real hoods and masks while they sin and terrorize through demonic deeds of theft, murder and deception, turning brother against brother to serve their own vile ambitions. For they might be seen and caught, then need to pay the consequences of their lies and sins if they did not hide themselves.

But God does not hide Himself or His purposes from His true elect, and has even proclaimed His motives and intentions from long ago, through His servants, the prophets and apostles. So the only reason He and His words are hidden from the wicked is because He has blinded them with the very lies and delusions they love instead of truths and realities. Then His true elect are like Him, created in His image. So truly biblical churches preach openly, for all to hear, and even allow their enemies to hear their teachings, if they live in a land that does not persecute them. Their honest love works in the light of day, to build up only what is good and beneficial for everyone’s spirit and flesh, to make an abundantly fulfilling and joyful life for all. Since there can be no just law against anything they

 

Page 731

Last Days Timeline

 

say or do through their just, equitable kind of love, they do not even try to hide their works, nor utter their life-giving truths in secret. Instead, they openly tell all for the good of all. For the elect are like their Father, who has always been an open, honest life-giver from the very beginning of created time.

Again, we see how this part of the prophecy implies that Israel’s people, her survivors of captivity in Babylon who have been freed by rulers like Cyrus, will return to Israel. For those who return to the land of Israel will be approached by African nations in the end times, and will be a powerful land that is able to help those nations. And this plea for their help will occur at a time prior to the return of Jesus. Therefore, an unspecified but significantly powerful number of Jews had been prophesied to return to Israel, and become a strong nation, at some time before the end times were completed. And, since it takes time for a nation to build up this kind of knowledge and power, especially in difficult circumstances, this prophecy implies that the Jews must have begun to return to their homeland even before the end times began. And they did. They began to return in this current era of the fifth seal.

Since this is about a time when people will read this prophecy as a word from God “long ago,” when the readers will say it was “declared of old,” we conclude that this prophecy was about a time which was to occur in the very distant future, a long time after Isaiah’s day. And, since it is about a time when God will call “all the ends of the earth” to repent or “turn to” Him to “be saved,” we know this prophecy must be about the end times. It is about the Messiah’s New Covenant times, for Isaiah is talking about the times Paul described when he said, “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31, ESV). Clearly, the times of this prophecy are about African nations and Israel in times when God will no longer overlook the ignorance of human-worshiping idolaters, who make wooden or paper images of their human gods.

More specifically, these prophesied events will occur not very long before God will judge the world by sending the plagues of the sixth and seventh seals. All prophecies agree that God will save all the elect Jews during the New Covenant times, but only at the very end, after the full number of Gentiles have been gathered into the church of Israel. Israel will worship Yahweh, but in the Old Covenant relationship with Him. Israel not enter their New Covenant relationship with Yahweh through the Messiah Jesus until the very day He returns to rule the earth from His throne in Jerusalem. And this prophecy seems to imply this as well, since it ends with “all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory,” implying that this will occur after the enemies of God on the earth are defeated.

By the way, false churches love the part where God declares: “I AM God, and there is no other.” Yet each church teaches different doctrines which define a different Yahweh, a different Creator God, and a different Messiah. All those humanistic churches create creator gods who will submit to their human gods, and utterly reject the true God defined by God’s Word. Then they like to quote this statement, saying there is no other creator god except the god who their own humanistic church has invented. And this makes those self-worshiping human gods feel even more esteemed, as though they belong to an exclusive club which can manipulate the decisions and deeds of the only true god.

But Isaiah was declaring the words of the real Creator God, which condemned each unique fake god invented by each different humanistic church. And Isaiah was prophesying about the Messiah, but called the Messiah by the name of God, by the name of Yahweh, in this end-time prophecy. So, if the coming and saving Messiah is Yahweh God, although Yahweh always remains in heaven and in the temple of Jerusalem, then the one and only Yahweh God can be in more than one place at the same time, and can also relate to His people as more than one Person at the same time. So, like all the

 

Page 732

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Messianic prophecies, this prophecy through Isaiah also hints at the doctrines of the Trinity too, even as God declares that His is the one and only true Creator God that has ever existed or ever will exist.

This prophecy ends by stating that everyone remaining on earth will bow their knee to our God Jesus and swear allegiance to Him, saying of Him: “Only in Yahweh ... are righteousness and strength; to Him shall come and be ashamed all who were incensed against Him. In Yahweh all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory” (45:24-25). Men can dispute this prophecy all they want, but it will prove to be about Jesus and the end times, whom Isaiah calls Yahweh. Only in Yahweh the Father, Yahweh the Son and Yahweh the Holy Spirit are “righteousness and strength,” not in any of the gods of humanists. And, on the day Jesus returns, “all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory,” proving all the replacement theology of all the fake humanistic churches to be wrong.

 

The Beast

The great revival in the era of the sixth seal will affect countless souls in all nations. For, after that true revival, the real Gospel—genuine biblical Christianity, as revealed by Jesus, the prophets and the apostles—will be preached everywhere on earth. But God's Gospel of pure truth always and irreparably divides the people, breaking apart even nuclear families (Mat. 10:34-37). The more the real truth of Jesus Christ’s salvation permeates the hearts of God’s elect children, the more it causes a great schism between them and Satan’s children. The real Gospel truth unites His elect children with eternal, unbreakable bonds of love, since all real, genuine and God-like love can only be built upon that foundation of genuine truth. Yet Satan’s children love the darkness of their delusions and lies rather than the light of God’s truth. So they can never love, and can never truly be joined to God’s elect children. Nor can they ever achieve any kind of real unity among themselves. So we must realize this fact, that Jesus did not come to bring unity and peace to the whole world, that is, not while Satan’s children still dwell upon this earth. For Jesus Himself declared to all of His elect:

Matthew 10:34-39 (ESV): “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have

not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a

daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's

enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than Me

is not worthy of Me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

And whoever does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.”

Jesus’ Holy Spirit teaches truth to the spirits of His elect to free them from the bondage of lies and sins, from slavery to the delusions and lies of Satan. But the non-elect keep in this bondage, and so do many elect at this present time. For the master of the chained ones does not want his profitable slaves to be freed. So that devil compels his property to war against God who frees them and His freed elect. Thus, it is not the elect who turn against members of their own family through their love for God and for the just and loving truths from God. Rather, the loveless non-elect turn against and betray elect members of their families, treating them as their enemies. We have seen this throughout history, and recently, whenever anti-Christs, like Hitler and Trump, rise up, divide families with lies and delusions, and preach violent hate as a solution to all problems. But love for God and His ways cannot be removed from elect spirits. So the awakened elect have no choice but to remain faithful to God and His loving, just, equitable truths, which build up real love in them. Only fake “Christians” are able to embrace the binding lies and delusions of the non-elect who coerce them. Only the fakes are not willing to take up the “cross” of rejection by Satan’s world order. Only fakes are not worthy.

Last Days Timeline

 

Once the elect begin to understand the wisdom and effectiveness of God’s just and loving ways, the minds of their spirits desire Him and His ways more than life itself, although their minds of flesh still rebel against freedom and justice. And the elect begin to realize that no one in Satan’s world order actually knows much of anything about justice, love, abundant life and God’s immutable and effective truths, although elect spirits everywhere are beginning to learn about and crave those truths. Humans need our Creator God to tell us how His creation functions most effectively for the benefit of all. For people cannot make their own laws and ways. Nothing from human minds of flesh can ever be just, effective and beneficial for all. When we realize this, our spirits begin to truly hate the unjust, immoral, exploitative and destructive ways of the world order, for all those ways actually originate from the manipulations of the psychopathic spirit called Satan, who destroys everyone.

God's creations prove that Satan's doctrines and ways are worthless, foolish, unjust and destructive nonsense. But the loveless spirits born of Satan always refuse to give up those delusions and lies. For those non-elect spirits love only the darkness of delusions and lies, just as their hellish father does. And, of course, all the non-elect want to be gods ruling over their own destinies and over the live of others. So the devil’s world order offers them the chance to feel like gods, by letting them cause pain and death to supposed “inferiors” whom they can crush like gods, while stealing pleasures for their flesh. Any psychopath who pretends to befriend the non-elect, and offers them an opportunity to feel like gods through violently oppressive hatred, such as through fascism or some other humanistic cult, attracts the non-elect like excrement attracts flies. Fascism and other humanistic death cults will always cause the destruction of their lands and themselves, but the non-elect cannot help but love those cults which make them feel like gods for a brief time, until they destroy themselves. After all, feeling like gods, who rule their own destinies and determine the fates of others, is a feeling they are all willing to die for, although it is merely a dark, transient delusion. For the delusion of feeling like a god is the essence of lovelessness, the ultimate goal of a loveless spirit who exists only for itself.

So non-elect spirits and their compliant amoral flesh work together in perfect harmony to become gods. Any delusions and lies from Satan’s world order that will make them feel like gods, such as the power to force submission through terrorism or the power to control lives with money, attracts the non-elect. They live for the power of terrorism and money. Their lust for control and greed enslaves them. And their spirits seldom oppose those enslaving desires, while their flesh seldom opposes the desires of their spirits, since their spirits provide their flesh with many pleasures. Non-elect spirits can easily train their minds and bodies of flesh to obey them, because their spirits want nothing which is true and just, nothing that limits or opposes the loveless, exploitative desires of the flesh. Thus, the minds of their spirits and the minds of their flesh become one, so united that most of the non-elect do not realize that they have two minds, and cannot differentiate between spirit and flesh.

Since non-elect spirits directly and fervently hate God and God's light of truth, because God and His truths limit their selfish ambitions and their ruthless pursuit of a god-like existence, they also hate all elect spirits are born of God in His image, since those elect spirits bear an inherent propensity to love God and His truths. Since the elect are prone to embracing God's truths through genuine love, and seek equitable justice which opposes the ruthless, unjust, exploitative ways of the non-elect, those non-elect always try to oppress or kill the elect. This is why all humanistic institutions, especially those formed in the image of the beast’s Roman fascism, persecute the elect, why they oppress all who speak the truth through love for the people and ultimately through love for God. Although even the non-elect know that God’s ways lead to life, peace and every kind of benefit, the non-elect prefer death, war and destruction, since they can gratify their desire to feel like gods for a few moments.

 

Page 734

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

In the eyes of the non-elect, no price is too great to pay for the brief gratification of feeling like gods. So, because God’s elect are the only ones who actually do useful works that build up life, Satan’s children want to enslave those elect, so those elect will provide the necessities which maintain their self-destructive kingdoms and keep them from perishing. But, if the elect refuse to serve as their slaves, the non-elect will try to kill them, even though it will cause their own destruction. For, the spirits of Satan's children never really care if their ways lead to the destruction of themselves and others—although their minds of flesh can be reasoned with at times, convinced to preserve itself.

Nevertheless, non-elect spirits mindlessly and irrationally love their darkness, and lie to justify their own beloved delusions. For, above all else, they want to be their own gods, and do not want God to be their God. They do not want to admit the reality that they are utterly dependent upon God, upon God’s elect and upon God’s creations. Nor do they want to admit that God’s just, loving ways are the only effective ways of preserving life. So they censure and suppress all truths, to their own harm. They war against God and the very truths that are able to save them. They terrorize, imprison and kill anyone who utters God's wise and beneficial truths against their lies, or even physical realities of history and science which oppose their lies and delusions. They will employ slander and violence in ways that destroy even their own lives. This is what we can expect from the non-elect now and in the end times. The fascist kingdom of the beast and other humanistic nations will persecute God’s elect.

But, during the era of the sixth seal, God will put His seal on the “foreheads” of His elect children, meaning that Jesus' Spirit will enter them, to personally teach the minds of their spirits. Thus, at that time, a greater schism will grow between the elect and the non-elect. The Gospel’s polarizing effect will be far more pronounced. On the one side, more and more elect spirits, spirits born of God, will repent into more and more of God's truth each day, guarding His every word in their hearts. So God's people will no longer be blown about by the winds of false teachings, nor practice the world’s false religions through their minds of flesh, by trusting intellectual and emotional deceptions of the world order. Rather, the elect will begin to live according to the thoughts put by God into the minds of their spirits. Their elect spirits will learn God's true and beneficial wisdom, and God will grant their spirits power over their minds and bodies of flesh, so that their whole beings will become more and more loving and useful to God. The elect will become sanctified, set apart for truly priestly works of God.
