whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another . My heart faints

within me!”

This is another passage from the ancient conversations of Job, written in about the 20th century BC. Here Job says that his “Redeemer” and God will “stand upon the earth” at some future time, in a way

where Job’s flesh shall see God after his “skin has been destroyed.” So Job seemed to have received a vision about rising from the dead, to see God walking in a human body on earth. Job’s vision might have seen that day when God raised some “saints” or sanctified elect from the dead at Jesus’ first advent (Mat. 27:52-53). But that resurrection seemed to be a brief prelude of the first resurrection, and the saints raised at His first advent would have soon disappeared, and would have been brought back into into heaven’s gates, to wait until the first resurrection at His second advent, so they could be with Jesus for a thousand years. Thus, Job may be one of the elders who will receive authority to judge during the millennium, and “will stand upon the earth” to serve our God Jesus in that capacity.

Since literally all human beings will be raised from the dead at the second resurrection, and Jesus will have ascended into His heavenly body by then, but only relatively few elect in all history will be raised from the dead to see our God Jesus in the flesh during the first resurrection, Job seemed to see a vision of his dead body rising to life during the first resurrection. For he said his flesh would see God, which must refer to the physical body of Jesus. And Job felt very strong emotions as he looked forward to this future even, with such great anticipation that it caused his heart to faint. Although our God came in a body of flesh to Adam, Eve, Abraham and others in the past, and Job was likely a contemporary of Abraham, the revelation of this future reality was so astounding to Job’s spirit that he declared, “My heart faints within me!” So Job’s vision had a very strong impact upon him. It must have been a vision from God, fully assuring him that his resurrected flesh will see God “stand upon the earth” in the future. And Job was so sure that this would happen that he grew faint with shock.

Psalm 22:22-31 (ESV): “I will tell of Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the

congregation I will praise You: You who fear [Yahweh], praise Him! All you offspring of

Jacob, glorify Him, and stand in awe of Him, all you offspring of Israel! For He has not

despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and He has not hidden His face from him,

but has heard, when he cried to Him. From You comes My praise in the great congregation;

My vows I will perform before those who fear Him.

“The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him shall praise [Yahweh]! May

your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to [Yahweh], and

all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For kingship belongs to [Yahweh],

and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before Him

shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.

Posterity shall serve Him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall

come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn, that He has done it.”

This Messianic psalm was written by David about 3,000 years ago. And David, in very accurate and graphic terms, began this psalm with a prophecy about the death of the Messiah, and used only first person pronouns (“I” and “Me”), speaking as though he were the Messiah Himself. For the flesh of the future Messiah would be descended from David, and God allowed David’s body to feel and experience what the body of Jesus would feel and experience on the cross a thousand years later.

So the second part of this psalm (vv. 22-31) is also the voice of our Messiah and God Jesus, and what the Messiah will declare after His death. The Messiah was to proclaim that “My vows I will perform before those who fear” God, which were later called the oaths or promises of His New Covenant salvation. And He did that after His death, even by sending His Holy Spirit to teach His disciples. Jesus was to glorify God’s name among His “brothers,” among all His elect siblings, including the elect Jews in Israel. And Jesus did that too. The Messiah was to assure us that Yahweh “has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and He has not hidden His face from

him, but has heard, when he cried to Him.” So Jesus ministered to the poor, fed the hungry, taught eternal hope to broken spirits and healed the physically afflicted, just as this psalm said He would.

Then the Messiah would also bring a time when “the afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him shall praise Yahweh!” And this would refer to the millennium of His rule over all the earth, since immediately it then proclaims: “For kingship belongs to Yahweh, and He rules over the nations.” The Messiah is Yahweh who will come in a body of human flesh to rule over all the earth. The Messiah will also say, “May your hearts live forever!” So He will not let the spirits in our hearts die, but will grant abundant eternal life to our spirits. Yet the rich on earth, who arrogantly demand the worship of purchased “inferiors,” will not do so well. For “all the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before Him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.” This indicates that the rich and their enablers, even the religious pretenders, will not keep themselves alive, but “bow down to the dust” in death. Even they will need to admit He is God.

So this psalm also prophesied about the Messiah’s bodily resurrection from the dead and His rule on the earth as King. For I repeat, notice the pronouns. From the beginning of the psalm, David spoke as the voice of the Messiah, using first person pronouns. David wrote as though he was the Messiah and experiencing all that Jesus did first hand, while also speaking to Yahweh the Father and to the “offspring of Jacob.” Then the Messiah declared that “kingship belongs to Yahweh,” not to mortal men, and it was king David himself who penned these words of the Messiah. So David implies that this future Messiah and King is Yahweh, the Almighty God Himself. It is the Creator God who will come to rule Israel and the world as their King, and dwell in a human body descended from David.

Of course, the flesh of David did not live to see the coming Messiah and King in a human body. But, if David did live that long, he would have called the Messiah his Master, Owner or Lord (see Ps. 110:1; Mat. 22:42-45). David knew the Messiah, the King of Israel and all the nations, would be the Almighty Creator God, in a body descended from his body. And when Yahweh the Messiah returns again, it will be in His resurrected human body. And that Messiah will bring a sane and modest prosperity, with well-being, equity and justice for all, after 2,000 years of oppressive Roman class systems and deluded wanna-be human gods trampling the innocent. This Messianic prosperity will not be the economic kind which nations seek in our day, where a few ego-driven elite human lords dictate what they want done for their own selfish interests by using the power of their money, while more sane souls serve them or starve. Rather, the Messiah’s prosperity will abundantly and equitably grant all the needs of all, so all might live modest, inwardly joyful lives in peace, without any fear of unjust oppression from usurping kings or wealthy exploiters. And this Messiah King shall rule for a very long time. The Messiah’s kingdom will bring peace and prosperity to Israel and the world for many generations, even a thousand years. For David wrote: “posterity shall serve Him,” and His deeds “shall be told ... to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn, that He has done it.” This is obviously referring to what we call the millennium.

Isaiah 26:10-21 (ESV): “If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in

the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of [Yahweh]. O

[Yahweh], Your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for Your

people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for Your adversaries consume them. [Yahweh], You will

ordain peace for us; You have done for us all our works.

“O [Yahweh] our God, other lords besides You have ruled over us, but Your name alone we

bring to remembrance. They are dead, they will not live; they are shades, they will not arise;

to that end You have visited them with destruction and wiped out all remembrance of them.

But You have increased the nation [Israel], [Yahweh], You have increased the nation; You are

glorified; You have enlarged all the borders of the land.

“[Yahweh], in distress they sought You; they poured out a whispered prayer when Your

discipline was upon them. Like a pregnant woman who writhes and cries out in her pangs

when she is near to giving birth, so were we because of You, [Yahweh] we were pregnant, we

writhed, but we have given birth to wind. We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth,

and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.

“Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing

for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead. Come, my

people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little

while until the fury has passed by. For behold, [Yahweh ] is coming out from His place to

punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood

shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.”

This part of God’s prophecy through Isaiah describes the longing for peace in the elect of Israel. But they cannot obtain it. For both Israel and her enemies stubbornly entrench themselves in lies and sins. Among both, “favor is shown to the wicked,” and both esteem the worst liars and sinners. So neither those illicit “lords” nor their people learn anything about true justice. Rather, each decision-making authority “deals corruptly” with God’s people and with His other properties. The whole land remains blind to the “majesty” of God and His ways. Then, since the spiritual or moral fabric of the entire society is torn apart, all are left naked, vulnerable to the crimes and criminal negligence of their illicit falsely esteemed “lords,” who connive to make themselves immune from prosecution and lie to falsely justify their evil. Yet God’s hand is lifted up, ready to strike down those who vex His elect, although the wicked do not see His curse upon them. Still, God zealously casts the wicked into self-destructive delusions, for the death of their flesh. Each destroys himself while he crushes others.

When God’s honest, loving elect see God’s zeal for them, how His “fire” consumes the wicked from the inside out, they grow ashamed of their own lies and sins. They understand a little more, that God ordained peace for them, not constant warfare against either real or imagined foes. They see that they must do the works of nullifying the works of Satan’s children, both the self-proclaimed “great” and “small.” But they must do these works in God, according to His will and ways, waiting upon Him, especially those involving the use of deadly force. For, if God does not first do their works for them, by first internally destroying the wicked, their works will be done in vain. They will give birth to the wind, losing time and blood in the process. Yes, God wants them to partake in His works, including His works of handing the wicked over to delusions for the destruction of their flesh, so the elect will see it and repent from their own lies and sins. Then the elect also partake in the just trials of the wicked, holding each accountable according to each one’s degree of wicked intentions and motives, but showing mercy for the truly repentant who bear the fruits of straightened intentions and motives.

Let the elect remember that every generation of the wicked has always perished in their own ungratified lusts and delusions, forgotten and unloved, even by the living who esteem them by emulating their evil works. Future wicked generations may repeat the names of past wicked souls, whose evil works they most admired. Yet they transform those dead wicked souls into vile artificial gods they can worship. They create delusional forms of those pathetic creatures that once walked on earth, but lack any real knowledge or love for the actual wicked persons. A Neo-Nazi may worship an idealized man-made image of Hitler. Yet they never actually remember the inwardly dark, empty, deluded, frustrated and hate-filled soul of that wretch, nor love his spirit, which began to dwell in

 

Page 1270

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

hell from youth, before he could even grow a mustache. For those who worship the fake images of Hitler are indeed as deluded and pathetic as he was, but never want to face that unflattering reality.

On the other hand, the elect remember the whole of elect human sinners who had repented into the truth, all their blemishes and beauty, those who loved and were loved. They love the very spirits of those past elect, as much as they love the spirits of fallible elect sinners still living in flesh, and build this love on shared realities about their own sins and repentance. Even the prophets and apostles, the fallible and faulty Jewish elect who died so long ago, whose spirits are alive and awake in heaven, are fully known and loved by many elect today, by the elect who do not worship them, merely identify with the thoughts of their hearts, because God put the same thoughts into elect spirits to this day. Thus, God’s truths are inherited and increase among His elect. He enlarges the depth and power of every new generation of elect. God enlarges their borders and, in the end, when our God Jesus returns, the elect will inherit the whole earth. God, who does their works for them, shall be glorified!

God will accomplish all this. Throughout all history and to this day, God has been doing impossible works for the elect, since the infantile spirits of His human elect are not capable of doing much of anything truly valuable for themselves. Not one is able teach, train and discipline one’s own spirit for one’s own salvation. And this prophecy is about their salvation, both their corporeal and eternal salvation. God “will ordain peace for us, for [He has] indeed done for us all our works” (26:12). This promised time of peace has been predestined for us, both in heaven and during the end times, after our Messiah and God Jesus returns to save Israel and all the elect in the world. Yes, each and every elect will discover that he or she is actually a wretched, ignorant soul, severely limited to a very small array of abilities and skills, utterly dependent upon God and His other loving elect, who are all different parts of the same body, who must all work together under the one Head to save themselves from the wicked. Let each admit, “God does what I cannot do, and so do each of my elect siblings.”

Parts of this passage from Isaiah are clearly about the end times. It is about a time when Yahweh Jesus will “visit” the earth in judgment, when all the wicked “are dead, they will not live; they are shades, they will not arise; to that end You have visited them with destruction and wiped out all remembrance of them” (Is. 26:14, ESV). As for Israel, our visiting God will then “have increased the nation” and “enlarged all the borders of the land,” in a way that glorifies Yahweh in Jesus. In our day, the return of the Jews to Israel in the 19th and 20th centuries has glorified God in one way, not by the words and deeds of the apostate Jews, but because God kept His promise to them in spite of themselves, then “enlarged all the borders of the land,” albeit through painful wars. God has stirred and even coerced more and more Jews into returning to their land too, for more than a century. And our God shall return to Israel in His Jewish body at the appointed time, when all are ready to repent.

After Jesus returns, and after He has slaughtered all the unrepentant non-elect on earth, He will gradually return all the Jews on earth to Israel and greatly increase Israel’s borders, out into all the lands He promised to Abraham (e.g., Gen. 15:18-21). But now, in our day, we see Jewish humanists, exactly like the false humanistic Gentile churches, zealously praying to God during their times of great trouble, while they actually look only to their human “lords” for salvation, while their hearts turn away from God. So their prayers accomplish nothing, except more of their own deaths, never to be raised to life on earth again. And their troubles are the Lord’s discipline, to turn their spirits back to Him. So, obviously, Israel is not faithfully serving God at the present time. And the “devout” Jews invent all kinds of excuses for their humanistic traditions, so they can remain in the artificial pride of their stupid hierarchical class systems and self-worship. Nevertheless, they will repent on the day Jesus returns, and all the elect Jews on earth will worship Him in their spirits and in all His truths.

However, we should make no mistake about the real enemy of Israel, who is the most evil enemy of Yahweh God that ever walked on earth. Israel is fighting that world-wide enemy today, just as it has for the last 2,500 years; the same enemy whom she, together with her Christian allies from many formerly Muslim nations, will battle in the final weeks before Jesus returns. Since Babylon first set its face against the physically insignificant nation of Israel, which has always been the world’s most spiritually significant priestly nation, that same Satanic religious kingdom has plagued the entire earth. That primary enemy of God reached its zenith when it became the Roman religion of the fascist beast, just before God’s body was born through Mary, in about 6 BC. But Israel will not defeat it, and God will not destroy it for Israel either, not until He returns to Israel in the body of Jesus, as was prophesied. Yes, God will eventually do that work for Israel, but only after He first separates all elect Gentiles from the non-elect Gentiles and gathers those elect Gentiles into His tribe of Judah. Then God will also separate all elect Jews from all non-elect Jews, with a bitter divide, since the non-elect Jews will join God’s worst enemy, the Roman beast born of Babylon. Only after Yahweh Jesus has accomplished all this, will He come to do the works of war for true Israel’s sake.

When Yahweh declared that Israel will “have accomplished no deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen” (Is. 26:18, ESV), He implied that there will be deliverance for His people in the earth and the deaths of the world’s inhabitants when He Himself will do these works. And Israel’s failure to do these things, as God’s priests sent out to serve the world, indicates a time of Israel’s desperation in the end times, as the beast’s armies surround them in Jerusalem. Then our God Jesus Himself will rescue them by destroying the beast and all the non-elect of the world.

So Yahweh also told His church Israel that this would be the time when “your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead” (Is. 26:19, ESV). This is not merely figurative language about a spiritually dead Israel rising to life. Here Isaiah is prophesying about disintegrated particles of physically dead bodies, their “dust” blowing in the wind, becoming living, awake bodies of flesh and singing for joy. God will totally recreate the dead and decayed bodies of His elect, into new bodies on earth. It is about a physical resurrection of the dead, involving Jewish and Gentile saints, whom Jesus will bring back to the earth with His own resurrected flesh on the day of His return, at the first resurrection. Many of these will be awakened and sanctified elect who had been beheaded by the beast. But some will even be He servants who had died thousands of years before His return.

It is also the Messiah’s words and deeds which will be the “light” and joy of these resurrected ones. Among the Jews rising to life when Jesus returns, there likely will be the 144,000 Jewish male, virgin martyrs who had been “sealed” by God during the era of the sixth seal. Then it would also include other Jews, possibly some of the Old Covenant prophets. Isaiah did not specifically mention the Gentile Christians killed by the beast, but they shall also rise from the dead at this time too. And Isaiah might be referring to these Gentile elect when he prophesied that “the earth will give birth to the dead.” And we must remember that God is not Jewish nor a Jewish God, but rather the God of all humans in the family of humankind, and all existence. Israel and the Jews are merely His priesthood created and sent out to serve the rest of the world. And, from the beginning, Gentiles have always been brought into God’s serving priesthood of Israel, even some Gentiles who have not consciously realized it. So a true biblical “Jewish” focus is outward to the world, never inward unto themselves.

Then God exhorted us to do this: “Come, My people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by. For behold, [Yahweh] is coming out from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain” (Is. 26:20-21, ESV). Of course, this

Page 1272

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

refers to the Messiah’s return to the earth in all His glory, with judgments that shall finally put an end to Satan’s kingdom of the world order. And, as He is judging, during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, the elect must “hide” themselves by entering their “chambers,” which refers to the inner parts of a typical Jewish home, the inside rooms under a roof and with doors to prevent the outside winds and storms from penetrating those places. Then He also told them to shut their doors behind them, not to allow the non-elect to influence their thought and prayers during the end times. So the elect are to “hide” from God’s plagues which destroy Satan’s hierarchical class systems and structures.

The reason His people must “hide” is because Yahweh will “punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.” God wants His people separated from the wicked, so the elect will not partake in their sins, then share in their punishments, so His people will not become casualties with the non-elect when His plagues slaughter those lying murderers. “Yahweh is coming out from His place,” to cleanse the world from all Satanic practices, from all lies, exploitation, oppression, slavery and murder, so He can rule through His truly just, equitable and responsible love on earth. Our God Jesus is coming out from heaven, back to the earth, with wrath and judgment. After He has separated the elect from the non-elect, He will eliminate all lying, murdering, unrepentant souls, all the loveless, ruthless non-elect, particularly the worshippers of the beast. Consequently, the elect must at least hide their spirits in the prayer closets of their hearts, and cover themselves with His words of truth, shutting the doors of their souls to the temptations of Satan’s world order. For all the devil’s bribes and distractions will perish with his deceiving minions who offer them. Power and esteem from his invention of money will no longer exist to make anyone feel like the “god” of anything or anyone.

When Jesus returns, His teachings will “disclose the blood shed on” earth, the injustice against His people and His property throughout history. And the bleaching bones of the unburied unrepentant sinners scattered over the whole planet will testify to the righteousness and power of His judgments. Many dishonest souls falsely justified their sins, to deceive themselves and others. But they did not deceive our omniscient Creator God Jesus, who exposes intentionally distorted facts and dark false reasoning to all with honest hearts. Then the testimonies of the resurrected saints coming with Jesus, the elect whom those greedy, power-hungry liars murdered, will praise His judgments. These saints will also will prove that the earth “will no more cover its slain.” For, when the beast covered their corpses beneath the earth, he though he had forever silenced their words of faith, so he could then continue to lie and murder with impunity. The beast and his worshipers felt justified in their own hearts, yet stood eternally condemned before their Owner and Judge, even since the days of Babylon. Jesus will scatter their unloved bodies everywhere, for all to see, above the graves of their victims and throughout their killing fields, a feast for good birds of the air and righteous worms of the land.

The deaths of “the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity” by the hands of Jesus will occur after His people “hide [themselves] for a little while until the fury has passed by,” until the plagues of the end times cease. This also means that the prophesied great destruction of Israel’s enemies will occur after she flees from the armies of the beast, to “hide” in Jerusalem. For the very last of the end-time plagues will occur when Jesus slays the beast’s armies and all the non-elect on earth, after the beast’s armies have marched through the valleys of Israel and have assembled at Armageddon to heap up their own eternal damnation. This also alludes to an exhortation of Jesus, when He told Israel to immediately flee into the mountains as soon as they see the abomination of desolation (Mat. 24:15-18), especially referring to the hills near Jerusalem and Azel, to set up their last defenses there. Also, Isaiah and all the prophets declare that this return of Yahweh to the earth will be to personally rule it. For His rule must begin with the destruction of the wicked, to put an end to all history’s injustices.

Colossians 3:1-4 (ESV): “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are

above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are

above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ

in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory .”

Remember this when the painful and deadly tribulations come in the end times. You will not only need to know this, but each elect spirit must actually experience this throughout those times. In the last clause, it refers to the first resurrection. However, it begins by using present imperatives, when the apostle, in the name of Jesus, exhorts us to “seek” and “set our minds” on heavenly principles, ways and rewards. Thus, we are to currently practice seeking and setting our minds on things above, today and on a continuous basis. Then he uses a perfect passive indicative to remind us that our lives have already been “hidden with the Messiah in God,” as a completed action occurring in the past, even at the beginning of time, but with current and ongoing effects. Finally, in the last verse, he uses the future tense when he proclaims that we also “will appear with” Jesus, that is, when He appears.

The Greek text of the last verse is this: ὅταν ὁ Χριστὸς φανερωθῇ, ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν, τότε καὶ ὑμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ φανερωθήσεσθε ἐν δόξῃ (SBLGNT). And it literally means: “Whenever the Messiah might have appeared, the life of you people, at that time also, together with Him, will be caused to appear in [His] good opinion.” So this is not indicating that we will appear with Jesus on the judgment day, a thousand years after He returns. It clearly is not about the second resurrection. Rather, it declares that, at the same time that the Messiah Jesus appears, the physical life of all those who have set their minds on things above will appear together with Him. That is, φανερωθήσεσθε is a future passive indicative, a theological passive, indicating that our God Jesus will cause us to appear together with Him at the same time He returns. Thus, it is definitely referring to the first resurrection of the dead, when the spirits the deceased servants of God are restored to life on earth, when they will come from heaven together with Jesus, so they may serve the earth in Jesus’ name for the entire thousand years.

Here Paul was writing to the people of the ancient apostolic local church in Colossae, in the middle of the first century. And he knew that some of them would die soon, before Jesus returned, as he would also. But Paul’s teachings were universal and timeless, revelations from the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus, meant to be read aloud to all churches everywhere, for all time. Thus, he also addressed all true members of the real New Covenant church which would expand throughout the world and endure for all time. Therefore, in this context, when he wrote about the future first resurrection at the return of Jesus, he was implying that Jesus would bring many deceased members of true churches throughout history, many past elect souls whose lives had been hidden with Christ in God, who had sought and set their minds on things above, who had not sought nor set their minds on rewards from Satan’s world order. At least some true believers from that ancient true church in Colossae, as well as other true New Covenant believers throughout history, shall be raised to life at the first resurrection, along with the faithful martyrs whom John mentioned (those who will be beheaded during the last half of the beast’s seven-year reign). And even some elect from Old Covenant times, as well as from before the days of Moses, also will be raised when Jesus returns. Jesus will bring many teaching and judging elders for the people of the world at His second advent, to train the loving elect to act wisely.

Of course, many believers become anxious when they hear about the deaths and great suffering in the coming end times. Still, those tribulations will be necessary, not only to destroy Satan’s world order and the non-elect in it, but also for the sakes of His elect children. Those trials will teach and train His elect to walk according to their worshiping spirits, through love for one another, and for all their other siblings in the family of humankind. So His deadly plagues must occur, to gather in a harvest of some elect souls, many of whom will return to the earth at the first resurrection, as well as

Page 1274

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

to burn away the earth’s toxic, invasive weeds, while also purifying the spirits of all the surviving elect. False Jews and Christians teach their dupes that all suffering is from Satan, and that death is an evil event which no righteous person should ever experience. But they are wrong. God created our home in eternal heaven as the only place where suffering and death do not exist. Then He created temporary perceptions of life in a material world for our infantile spirits, to educate and mature our spirits, to prepare us for life in our eternal home. Thus, as our spirits temporarily experience the suffering and dying of our flesh, our spirits grow into a greater maturity, and those experiences will also be used by our spirits at heaven’s gates, to complete and perfect them. Perceptions of material existence allow us to experience both good and evil, both God and Satan, at the same time. But not all suffering and deaths are caused by Satan. In fact, Satan can cause nothing without the permission of God. So our utterly holy and loving God Himself has ultimately caused all suffering and deaths on this earth, for His own good purposes, for the benefit of elect spirits, which cannot possibly perish.

Dispensationalists want God to remove them from the earth in a pretribulation rapture, before their flesh can suffer from any of the “bad” and “evil” plagues prophesied in the Revelation. They like to think that, when Jesus will take away many souls from the earth, as in the days of Noah, it means that God will “rescue” their materialist, humanistic, hypocritical, church-going flesh from suffering and dying during the end times, that He will take them into heaven to spare their flesh. But they never think of the needs of their spirits. For the plagues of the end times will begin with the true revival of our Savior’s true New Covenant church, followed by the exponential spiritual growth of all those elect who are privileged to partake in it. The flesh belonging to each elect spirit must suffer all that God has appointed for it, all the pains which draw elect spirits into a closer communion with one another, more than anything else which we can experience on the earth. And deaths of our loved ones’ flesh reminds us that we cannot die, but will all go home and eternally live together very soon.

The dispensationalists teach the recently invented false doctrines of a pretribulation rapture because they focus entirely on their flesh, and want God to save only their flesh, not their spirits. So they think it will be a “blessing” if God takes away their flesh before the “bad” things of the end times will happen. But, for the true elect, that would be a curse from God. And it will indeed be a curse for the non-elect, whom God will actually remove from the earth through the end-time plagues. They will be even more damned than the wicked whom God killed with the flood in the days of Noah.

Somehow, dispensationalist also think Jesus will take them away during a “secret” return, which supposedly will occur before His visible second advent, and without the world realizing that it was Jesus who miraculously scooped them up into heaven. They also think Jesus will leaven the rest of the Jews and Christians to suffer the prophesied end-time pains and deaths, to teach those “rebels” to become more like them. But those dispensationalists made all this up in their carnal imaginations, and do not believe in nor respect the words of our God Jesus. If they add new meanings to His words and remove His intended meanings from His teachings, then they do not trust Jesus. So they actually have no real saving faith in our God Jesus. And why would any truly loving elect soul ever want to become like those carnal, corrupt hypocrites? They also borrowed the doctrine of an invisible return of Jesus from amillennialists, who are carnal and materialistic humanists as well. So let us ignore all those false preachers, and prepare ourselves for the end times, by honoring the truths Jesus taught us.

Jesus will come very visibly in the flesh, seen by the physical eyes of both the doomed non-elect and the inwardly rejoicing elect. Literally all prophecies of Scripture clearly state that the Spirit who calls Himself Yahweh, who dwells in the body of the Messiah Jesus, will come only once in glory. And that advent will display His body descending upon the earth while radiating an unmistakably bright light which everyone in the world can see. Furthermore, on that day, all the non-elect will be

Page 1275

Last Days Timeline

 

taken away in death, as they were during the days of Noah, leaving their bodies on the ground as food for the carrion-eating birds. Only the most blessed elect will be “left behind” on earth, alive and able to serve Jesus during the millennium of His rule on earth. And those surviving elect true Jews and true Christians will be joined by countless resurrected saints from the past, who will also serve Jesus during the millennium, together with those survivors. All the plagues upon the earth will work together for the good of those sanctified spirits who truly love Jesus, as history’s greatest blessings.

Let me repeat, Jesus will return in a very visible way, as visibly as a sheet of lightening which fills the entire sky, and as loudly as the thunder produced by lighting. This is why the prophecies say He will come “in glory,” because there would be very little or no “glory” for Him if He came secretly, or if He did not physically return at all, if He simply gave a corrupt humanistic church the power to rule the earth “vicariously,” in His place. Jesus will also cause all Satan’s loveless non-elect brood to die when He arrives, which will include about half of the earth’s population. There will be so many deaths that it will be impossible to bury or burn all the corpses. So, wherever a corpse will lie on the ground, carrion-eating birds will gather to feast on it (also see Rev. 19:17-18). And those deaths will deliver His elect from the persecutions, terrorism, slavery and dehumanizing slander of those haters.

Matthew 24:27-28 (ESV): “For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the

west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will

gather.”

Luke 17:24, 37b (ESV): “For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to

the other, so will the Son of Man be in His day.... Where the corpse is, there the vultures will

gather.”

Acts 1:10-11 (ESV): “And while they were gazing into heaven as He went, behold, two men

stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into

heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as

you saw Him go into heaven.’”

Revelation 1:7 (ESV): “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him,

even those who pierced Him , and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even

so. Amen.”

Do not let the nice churchy smiles of false teachers trick you into believing their fleshy, self-serving, materialistic and humanistic eschatological teachings. The physical body of Jesus will descend in the same way He once ascended. He will come again in a body of flesh to physically dwell on earth. For He ascended in a body of flesh, which the apostles touched and fed. Then His flesh transfigured into a heavenly body made of spiritual substances, after He rose out of their sight. So He will transfigure back into a physical body when He descends, when He comes close enough to be seen. And He will come only once, not twice. There will be no secret, invisible return of Christ before His visible return, since never does “secret” deceptions. Literally “every eye” will see Jesus returning, including all of Israel, all the surviving physical descendants of Abraham, who will all become priests who directly serve the physical body of Jesus in Israel, who will not be second-class “Christians” when He returns. And the only reason “all the tribes of the earth” will wail when Jesus returns will be because He will be coming to kill many of them. Then the humanistic Jews in Israel will also mourn when He returns, but in repentance (see Zech. 12:10). And both the wailing of the doomed non-elect and the mourning of all the repenting elect Jews will be because they will all physically see His physical body returning, not because they “feel” some kind of spiritual aura, nor anything like that.

His Millennium

From the days of Adam and Eve, the elect have always longed for the day when God would finally remove Satan and his entire kingdom from the earth, when God alone would rule over this entire planet, when peace, justice and love would become the norm in every corner of the globe. Then, as time passed, the elect found out that this is exactly what God had been planning to do from the very beginning. But He would only do this for us in His appointed time. When all His educational works had been completed, with regards to the bad examples set by Satan, God was going to descend upon the earth, cast out Satan and all his minions, then rule over us as our King among us, even for more than a thousand years. But there was much that God first had to teach to all the elect on earth, many examples and illustrations He had to provide for them, and also much His elect had to do to prepare for that millennium. And now that the time of His coming approaches, we should examine some of those works which need to be done by God and by us, before we can begin to live in the millennium.

Many Scriptures teach about a time when the Messiah will justly and lovingly rule over Israel and all the other nations on earth. Even Jacob, on his deathbed in the mid-twentieth century BC, prophesied about how the Messiah would descend from his son Judah and rule over the lands God granted to his grandfather Abraham: “A scepter [or shepherd’s staff] will not depart from Judah nor the writing of law from under his feet [indicating that a descendant of Judah will govern and make the laws of the land] until Shiloh [tranquility] comes and a gathering [at His command] of the nation” (Gen. 49:10, ALT). An eternal King of the lands God promised to His priesthood of Israel, and of every nation on earth, would come from Judah. One of his descendants would be David, and one of David’s heirs would be that King.

Some do not understand that this was a Messianic prophecy, since it seemed so ambiguous at the time Jacob spoke these words. But this prophecy became clearer as God revealed more over time. It was God’s promise that the Messiah would descend from Jacob’s son, Judah. And the body of Jesus did descend from Judah. Then most of this prophecy will not be fully understood until the Messiah Jesus actually comes the second time. But, even now, we realize that it was a prophesy about how the Messiah will become our eternal King, the Lawmaker of the world, and remain sovereign over all the elect who ever lived on earth even after He gathers them all into heaven. And let us remember that the only true King and Lawmaker whom Jacob ever recognized was Yahweh God. So here Jacob was actually prophesying that the Messiah from Judah would rule over His people as Yahweh God.

Soon Jesus will return, bringing real and loving justice to the world. Then He shall truly fulfill God’s Law in and through His people, in Israel and throughout the entire world. He will rightly teach and administer God’s truth for the sake of all elect souls, who will all be made able to love in the same just, responsible and wise way that He Himself loves. His loving justice—the kind He created from within Himself before anything else existed—will right all wrongs, restore all losses and teach all elect sinners to repent into a knowledge of His original, genuine truth, which is within Himself. He will never again allow men to walk according to the false, Satanic kind of justice which the world order now forces on us, with self-serving kings and judges seeking distorted, filthy revenge. The devil promotes his most faithful, psychopathic children to positions of power, so they can exploit, terrorize, oppress and unjustly abuse the innocent. But Jesus will be nothing like those vain Roman judges in some humanistic courts or illicit “kings” in palaces, putting on a good outward appearance as they sit on raised platforms above the “lowly” masses, demanding more honor than any give to God, though they are inwardly far more dishonest, sinful and foolish than the sinners they oppress.

Last Days Timeline

 

Jesus is truly and fully holy, righteous and loving in every aspect of His being, while He is also completely unstoppable when He acts against the lies and sins which destroy His people. For the just kind of love in Him makes Him hate lies and injustice so much that His almighty power cannot help but overcome them, in His own perfectly wise way and according to His own right timing. It will be His love and His zeal for justice that will cause Him to kill the unrepentant, merciless ones who have slaughtered His beloved family, once He has sufficiently separated His elect from them. And His vengeance will not act through blind bitterness, but for His just and loving purpose of preventing those loveless non-elect from ever harming and killing His people again. It will be His love that will cause Him to cast Satan, as well as that devil’s countless loveless minions, into hell. Then He will sit among His siblings, as one of us, as our good Friend who is able to make our lives truly right again.

Justice will also be pure when Jesus reigns. For instance, Jesus will not use prisons for punishment when He rules the earth. A type of holding place may be used for some sinners until their trials, or to assess, teach, train and prepare sinners for life in society. But there will be no places of vengeful torture or slave camps, like the Satanic humanists create and use in their “justice” systems. For Jesus will always administer timely and true justice. When He deals with the elect, He will correct their thinking, so they will repent into a knowledge of the truth. Or, if Jesus deals with the belligerent non-elect who cannot repent, He will command an immediate punishment appropriate for their sins, since the non-elect only obey the law through fear, to save their own skins. The penalties of the law were only to be applied against the lawless (I Tim. 1:8-11), against those who lies and sin but can never truly repent. Because the spirits born of Satan can only be prevented from sinning through a fear of the law’s punishment, Jesus will not fail to make them pay a life for a life. But the elect, who are not inwardly lawless, who will all have God’s Law written on their hearts and in their minds, who all will spontaneously repent into the truth, will not be judged in the same way as the non-elect. Only the non-elect shall be ruled by the threats of the law. The elect will be ruled by the teaching and training of Jesus and His servants. His justice will not be blind to the inner motives and intentions of human spirits. And the laws of the land will no longer favor the rich, the powerful and the cunning, while hypocritically claiming to be “blind” to wealth, status, race, creed and outward appearances.

Jesus will also send out trustworthy priests to assist Him in His works of teaching and governing the nations, older males whom He will personally call, teach, train and send, then keep faithful through His ever-present oversight. They will all be males, since God made male minds of flesh better able to concede to the demands of their spirits in their souls, to allow their spirits to focus on spiritual and moral matters without carnal interference or distractions. Although humanists now train men to be spiritually dead and impotent, God made men able to become builders of spiritual structures for their wives and children, to understand the causes and effects of the spiritual principles He teaches, and to rightly apply them through love. But God made female minds of flesh focus more on the welfare of the flesh, to use the mind of the spirit and mind of flesh together in the soul, for His more physical works. Of course, these male teaching and judging elders will humbly and carefully hear and take into consideration the counsel of women and other men. Yet their decisions will come directly from their spirits alone, as their spirits heed the counsel of God, in the way God created their souls to do.

So these male priests will teach and judge at a “city gate,” in a place accessible to every person inside or outside the city, as they did in ancient times. They will be ready to judge either by: (1) teaching God’s Word to the elect for their repentance, or (2) handing out just and appropriate punishments to the non-elect who cannot repent. All authorities will be priests of God, judging by the motives and intentions of each individual, straightening what is bent, and restoring the losses incurred through lies, sins and crimes whenever possible. Also, since many will be granted the true

 

Page 1278

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

gift of prophecy, God Himself will speak through some of them, revealing all that certain individuals or groups of people need to know, when no errors must be made in their judgments. But, if any task is too great for some of these elders, they will always be able to defer to a higher court of priests and, ultimately, to Jesus Himself, who bears the wisdom and power to judge all rightly and effectively.

Scriptures describe the Messiah’s rule on earth as a time of tranquility, peace, equitable prosperity and beautiful natural surroundings. For Jesus will not only judge all His people justly through love, but also restore the physical lands to their ideal state, even causing the lion to lie down beside the lamb. This is why we long for that time, and why our flesh grows weary of all the injustice, poverty, hunger, ignorance, violence and senseless deaths now seen throughout the earth. But, while we wait for this to come in the future, we also nullify the works of Satan and strive to build up God’s kind of kingdom now, at the present time. For we know exactly why there is so little peace, equity and justice in the world now, and why the pristine beauty of nature became polluted and corrupted. It is because malignant spirits cause men to act through greed, pride and lusts of the flesh. However, we also know that the almighty God will empower His elect to tear down those evil and unjust works, then build His just and loving kingdom on earth, if we allow our spirits to be taught and trained by Him through our prayers. Our heavenly Father’s will can be done on earth as it is in heaven, right now on earth, if we walk according to our spirits and allow our spirits to heed Jesus’ Holy Spirit.

The reason God will not suppress man’s inhumanity to man is because man has made it so that God cannot allow Himself to do so. Of course, God is always willing to help truly good works. Even among the pagans, if elect men hear God and set their hearts on true justice and equity, God will help them achieve it, although they do not do those works in His name. For God grants truths to literally all elect souls, even to the elect who do not know His name or His Word. And God also grants all His elect the ability to choose whether they will either heed His Spirit or continue to be blindly led by Satan’s spirit, since that is how God trains their spirits. But most elect live in humanistic cultures, where they are taught to consistently choose Satan, although most false humanistic churches will call Satan by the names of God, as they walk in dark, carnal, greedy, selfish, hate-filled, vengeful lies and delusions originating from that devil. Thus, God must withhold His power and blessings from them, since He cannot aid and abet sinners as they lie and sin, which is a form of partaking in their evil works. Consequently, after humanists destroyed the true apostolic church, very few elect have been successful in nullifying Satan’s works and building up the true, just, loving kingdom of God.

Think about it. If God blessed our lands as they are right now, what kinds of hells would result from it? Throughout history, countless so-called “Christians” have joined and supported the most Satanic psychopaths in their lands. Then those fake “Christians” acted unjustly in every way, even angrily demanding the literal torture of criminals who were not nearly as evil as they were themselves, and some of those “criminals” were actually God’s true servants opposing their own evil. So, if God blessed everyone who said “God help us!” He would make Himself into an evil sinner. For Satan is the unjust, loveless god most worship today. Thus, if God blessed Satan’s servants, God would be esteeming and building up the devil whom the people worship. Yes, God would be esteeming and empowering Satan himself, if God blessed those people. And God simply cannot ever force Himself to do that, since our utterly holy, just, loving God must always do all He does through His own inherent attributes of His own righteous heart. So it is actually because the elect refuse to hear and heed the Holy Spirit of Jesus that Satan is allowed to rule in a land, and it is not God’s fault at all.

Yet, on the other hand, we have also seen when only a few of God’s elect, even those who do not consciously know His name, have stood up for God’s kind of justice, for His truths, and actually overcame thrones and powers many times greater than themselves. For God Himself stood with

Page 1279

Last Days Timeline

 

them. Therefore, our loving God will grant peace and justice to those who willingly join themselves to Him by voicing His truths and forsaking selfish ambitions and carnal lusts in Satan’s world order. All who reject God and His words, so they can worship Satan for personal gain, are weak. All who allow their spirits to hear and heed Jesus’ Holy Spirit, are strong. If a people insist on humanistic laws and judicial systems, which were invented by Satan and his children, then let esteemed fools administer and enforce those unjust traditions of men, they are worshipping Satan. Thus, God cannot possibly rescue them, but will hand them over to destruction. For God will never ever glorify Satan’s name. But all who seek to uphold true justice are God’s elect, whether or not they consciously know it, are worshiping God in their spirits and in truth. Thus, God will help in all their just, loving causes.

If the people want a justice system that appeases their fleshy desires, and reject God’s true justice, they reject God Himself. And this is exactly what fake “Christians” have done. For they never judge by the motives and intentions of individual spirits, demand minimum tortuous punishments for all sinners despite God’s command to show mercy for the repentant, give preferential treatment to the rich and powerful, and crave a vengeful pagan Roman justice system rather than God’s true justice.

Whenever a people rejects God’s ways, laws and teachings, they reject God Himself. And, if they refuse to worship the true God from their spirits and in truth, then they are actually worshiping Satan. For the infantile spirits of human beings are granted only two choices. If human spirits do not worship the real Creator God, by allowing their spirits to esteem and serve Him because their hearts cherish His created truths, then God may hand them over to Satan. And Satan lies. But lies can be an infinite number of deviations from the truth. Therefore, that devil will cause his dupes to worship him in an infinite number of different ways, all of which are unholy, destructive, unjust and loveless. Some overtly practice evil. Yet that devil will also convince some to call him by the names of God, so his dying prey will think they are worshiping God even while they are actually worshiping him.

The elect must learn that they cannot embrace Satan’s invented religion of humanism; not any of his secular or theistic humanistic systems. For they are all based on the worship of human gods in unjust class systems. All forms practice the exploitation of the majority for the benefit of a few esteemed elite. Then Satan’s fake humanistic churches somehow expect the utterly holy, just and loving God to answer their prayers, but primarily to bless their greedy souls with material prosperity. But God only ever grants His kind of prosperity to His hearing and heeding elect. And God’s kind of prosperity is equitable and just, shared by all the life in His land. We must learn that we cannot worship God and Satan at the same time. If the elect embrace humanistic systems, they worship Satan, so they must accept injustice, pain and death in their land, since these are the only “wages” their false god pays to his worshipers. Even the natural beauty of God’s creation will be destroyed if they bow to Satan. If Satan and his loveless brood rule a land, they grant their siblings the “legal” right to exploit and destroy. So Satan’s world order always promises personal greatness and status, but delivers only darkness, emptiness and the eventual loss everything the people in the land need for their survival.

In reality, most elect today still want their lands to remain under the rule of Satan. Of course, they do not like it when they themselves starve or suffer injustice for the sakes of some wicked elite fool’s carnal pleasures. However, they never lose their hope for Satan’s humanistic systems while they suffer. For Satan’s keeps promising that they will someday rise to the top, as elite gods themselves. Then they will be able to unjustly exploit, abuse and oppress others for the gratification of their own selfish desires, and may even exact carnal revenge against their enemies. This selfish hope makes even elect minds of flesh willing to suffer Satan’s lies and injustice, until they themselves foolishly die in vain. No matter what God says, they cling to something like an “American dream,” which has always been the dream of Satan’s world order since the beginning. This is the dream of the Satanic

Page 1280

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

beast’s kingdom, the Roman Empire, the dream of all four kingdoms that formed the beast. For three millenniums we have watched the vast majority suffer under this Satanic humanism, where even the elite remain miserable and wretched, in spite of all the power and wealth they possess. For there can be no joy of the heart for anyone, except those who serve God, His people and His other creations through honest, just love. It is utterly impossible to find joy and satisfaction in life through Satan.

Yet the lie of this Satanic “American dream” persists as the driving force for all unjust humanistic systems of the world, even in communist countries. For capitalism, communism, fascism and all the other humanistic systems allow a tiny minority of worshiped elite to exploit, terrorize and murder the rest of the people in the majority. This false promise of god-like power and self-indulgence has been one of the devil’s main temptations since the beginning his time on earth. Satan has always caused his brood to exploit, terrorize and murder others to gain self-serving power, although not always through the refined systems he created with his religion of humanism. Yet, in all these humanistic systems, we still find the elect crying out to God for justice in vain, since they too worship Satan while they do so. None seem to realize that God can never grant their vile and sinful requests to prosper as humanists in their nations, whether they are capitalists, communists or fascists. While the elect reject God, God’s Word and God’s just ways, God cannot bless them. For the real God will never worship their god Satan, nor their human gods ruling as the heads of their lives, nor those who make themselves into their own gods. First let the elect reject Satan and his religion of humanism. Then let them esteem and serve God’s real truths, which amounts to the worship of God Himself.

God will only grant prosperity to His stewards who will use His gifts for His own purposes, through their spirits’ inwardly fulfilling covenants of God-like love for Him and for one another. If His faithful stewards use His gifts to provide true justice and equity through unconditional love for all His people and all His other creations, then He will provide an abundance. But God will never allow each individual to receive only what that one wants for one’s own self-indulgence, for one’s own particular kind of carnal worldly life, at the expense of other living souls. Jesus commanded and demanded that each of His true disciples must gives away all one’s excess, to joyfully love others through the gratifying works of one’s hands. Since all ultimately comes from God, even our own abilities, God cannot allow anyone to worship oneself, since that is ultimately the worship of Satan.

Naturally, God has always allowed a few elect in a few parts of the earth to faithfully serve Him by esteeming some of His teachings and by administrating some of His truths. And, in most instances up to this day, these elect, whose spirits truly esteem God, have not consciously known that the truths they upheld and practiced originated from God. Because all had been brainwashed by either secular or theistic humanists, all they knew was that those just and loving concepts were actually and truly effective in producing good results for all of God’s creations. However, the only reason they knew those truth was because God had written them in His creations and in His Word. So their elect spirits rejoiced when they received those truth, not knowing they had been taught by the Holy Spirit.

Throughout history and in every land on earth, God has always raised up a few “good” elect souls to defend and uphold some portions of His truths and wisdom, which He has granted to their spirits. As long as their spirits heeded His Spirit, in whatever ways they could, God has always blessed them and their lands. In fact, due to the active faithfulness of a few elect souls among the people, God has often spared whole lands from utter destruction (e.g., see Gen. 18:23-32), although God has also utterly crushed stubbornly unrepentant lands, after He has attempted to withdraw His elect from those lands. God has also granted far more peace and prosperity to lands where His elect were more faithful than they were in other lands. In the lands where Satan’s children went unopposed, God allowed them to destroy themselves and everything around them. We have seen internal corruption

Page 1281

Last Days Timeline

 

destroy land after land, since the beginning of time, but have also seen lands prosper through truly just and equitable policies which align with what God revealed in His creations and in His Word. So is it not time for the elect to admit that God is right and humanism is wrong? And the end times are approaching, when Jesus will annihilate all hierarchical humanistic systems. So let us repent soon.

Just one ordinary elect sinner is potentially far more powerful in Jesus than all of the non-elect on earth put together, even though the non-elect gather large armies with deadly weapons and love to boast about their great power and wealth. For God’s invincible power works through His elect. Whenever the elect rise up to oppose the wicked, according to the real teachings and will of God poured into their spirits, God helps them. Their flesh may suffer and die, but God will not let His truths fall without effect against the wicked and He will bless their lands. This is why, before we pray for the prosperity of our lands, we first pray for God to awaken the spirits o His elect and reveal Himself and His ways to them, to cause their timid, weak hearts to worship Him rather than Satan.

Currently, in every land on earth, the majority have chosen Satan as their god and sovereign lord. And the reason they elect Satan is because he always promises to gratify the selfish desires and lusts of their flesh, though he seldom keeps these promises and destroys those whom he rewards. Thus, if an awakened elect minority does not actively oppose the majority through the wise reasoning and power of God, the majority will flood their lands with confusion, lies, thefts, violence, injustice, terror, oppression, war, destruction of every kind and plain old stupidity. The people will kill one another and ruin the good land that keeps them alive. A drought of truth will kill all life in their land.

Therefore, until Jesus casts Satan into hell and removes all Satan’s children from all positions of power, the elect must remain vigilant. First, they must make all liars, especially the rich and powerful, accountable. We must maintain the responsibility to speak the truth, with free government assistance for law suits against slander and against every other kind of harmful lie. Then just courts of law in their land must be quick to make ruthless thieves, sexual exploiters, violent criminals and murderers answer for all the internal and external losses and harm they caused. And the rich and the powerful must be the most carefully and instantly prosecuted, since they have the power to cause the most harm to the most people. If influential liars and psychopathic criminals are not stopped, they will destroy all good and free religious, educational, economic, military, legal and judicial systems of the land, handing the land back to Satan. The awakened elect, even if they are a small minority, must speak the truth in love and consistently oppose the non-elect, since the majority can always be easily deceived and led into self-destruction, nor will the elect among them ever willingly follow Jesus as their King while they walk according to their amoral flesh. But this opposition must be done in the just, loving ways of Jesus, as a strong and gentle light shining into darkness, building up life instead of tearing it down, by revealing His truth which exposes and burns away lies and deception. If at least some elect do not do all this, hell will follow. So pray for God to send His workers to His lands.

Yet, even if some elect do remain faithful, Jesus cannot rule over the whole world, not until He first casts Satan and his puppet minions off the earth. Jesus must kill Satan’s ruthless, unjust, deceiving brood and free the world from their psychopathy. Furthermore, even after Jesus does this, His power will need to continuously teach and train His elect remaining on the earth, or they will fall into lies and sins through the lusts and desires of their own amoral flesh. And the elect will learn their need for His constant education or they will grow complacent. This is why, after a thousand years of His rule over all the earth, Jesus will briefly release Satan to rebuild his unjust world order, which will be called Gog and Magog. For Gog and Magog will still be religious, but Satan’s greatest power is to work evil through the lies of false religion, especially through fake “Christian” and false “Jewish”

 

Page 1282

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

religions, to deceive even the complacent elect. Therefore, as long as the doctrines of false religions exist, so will Satan’s power. But, in the end, Jesus will destroy all of Satan’s power and death itself.

In reality, all the true power behind all rule and all authority, whether it is good or evil, is ultimately derived through faith in some kind of god and its religious teachings. Literally all the laws of all societies in the world throughout history have been based on the doctrines of some kind of religion. For no one can ever make any laws except through faith in spiritual principles taught by some kind of god whom that one worships by esteeming, trusting and serving that god. Absolutely nothing can ever be called “right” or “wrong” unless some kind of god declares it to “right” or “wrong” through its religious and spiritual teachings. If one could ignore all religious or spiritual doctrines, then one would have no opinions about anything at all, and have absolutely no reason to call any words or deeds right or wrong, nor make any laws to govern anyone’s ways or behaviors. That person would essentially be a robot without a soul, existing only through a mind of flesh which acts according to the ways others program it to act and reacting to external circumstances through their manipulations.

Only faith in some kind of a religious teaching, only a belief in some kind of religious world view, causes one to make laws and submit to them. So, without any religion, no one would ever be granted any authority over anyone else for any reason whatsoever, since there could be no possible reason to either rule or be ruled by anyone. One would simply let oneself drift aimlessly according to impulses of the flesh, until one destroyed oneself. If there was nothing defined as either good or evil through faith in some kind of god and religion, life would be utterly pointless, and all the deeds of all living creatures would be meaningless as well. And, if literally everything and existence itself was futile, why would anyone want to rule anything, or why would anyone let anyone else to rule over oneself like a god? Without faith in a god and religion, no law, no government, no world order of Satan and no kingdom of God could possibly exist. For there would be no purpose for living or anything else. Some kind of god and religion must give a purpose. Thus, Satan always works through false gods and religions, especially humanism, the worship of human gods in steep hierarchical class systems, where each one opposes the other based on principles or laws invented by those worshiped humans.

Satan has always ruled his dark, destroying kingdom of the world order through false religions and false gods, which he invents to deceive the people and turn them away from God and His just, loving laws and ways. And his most effective false religion, for his demonic purposes, is humanism. No other false religion has ever been able to bind souls in the utter blackness of Satan’s destructive, psychopathic lies and delusions as effectively the human-worshipping religion of humanism, built on the ever-shifting sands of whatever lies are convenient for those human gods at any particular time.

On the other hand, God has always ruled His kingdom on earth and in heaven through selfless love built on a bedrock of genuine and immutable truths within Himself, truths which we call laws, so we might work within the reality of His actual creations for the good of all. And God’s most effective teachings, for His purposes, are found in truly biblical Christianity, where Jesus promises to build a close relationship with His children, so He might teach them to fulfill His laws and ways, just as He did with Abraham and all His elect from the beginning. And true Christianity is actually a sect of truly biblical Judaism, because it fulfills God’s Old Covenant teachings and laws. It is because God can work so powerfully through true Christianity that Satan has always strove to corrupt Christianity.

Satan knows that true biblical Christianity is extremely effective in producing abundant lives, full of love. Thus, that demonic spirit works very hard to corrupt true Christianity, and to supplant with his own brand of theistic humanism, with a fake “Christianity” or a fake “Judaism.” And most infantile elect spirits are too dull to see through his lies, so they become fake Christians or false Jews. Thus,

 

Page 1283

Last Days Timeline

 

until Jesus fully exposes and utterly destroys both secular and theistic humanism, along with all the other false religions of Satan’s world order, Satan will continue to work delusions, lies, destruction and deaths in the world. And most people will continue to reject God’s truths and effective wisdom.

The majority, including the elect with easily manipulated infantile spirits who walk according to their flesh, will always insist on being governed by unjust laws based on the teachings of Satan’s false religions. For Satan has a powerfully influential spirit, able to convince most people that his carnal promises and teachings will gratify their flesh. Because the majority is so inherently weak that it will always fall for carnal promises, Satan’s false religions will never be destroyed by humans. In fact, Satan’s lies will always be perpetuated by human flesh and can only be destroyed by God, by Jesus. Until Jesus destroys humanism, and all other false religions through which Satan maintains power in his world order, every land’s majority will choose to remain unjust and destroy themselves.

Although our God Jesus commands us to maintain a responsible freedom of conscience, freedom of religion and freedom of speech, lest anyone seize the power to rule as a god, we must be aware that Satan will use false religions to defraud, enslave and destroy souls. So we need to watch for this and limit anyone’s power to lie and sin through false religion. Governments must force all religions to take responsibility for their words and deeds, must make them accountable for their decisions. And only when our King and High Priest returns, will He cast Satan into hell and destroy all the false religions of Satan’s world order. For Jesus is the only true King over all existence, and the only High Priest of all human spirits, the only Lawmaker and Judge who can do this. So humans must never even attempt to do so, but let our God Jesus do it Himself, at His appointed time, after He has fully prepared all His elect for His rule on earth. Our God Jesus strictly forbids weak and sinful humans to ever even attempt to form a theocracy or suppress other religions, not in any land, including Israel.

Even if humans could somehow destroy all the lies of all false religions in Satan’s world order today, before Jesus returns, the entire weak world would soon fall into into utter chaos again. For the elect are far too weak and infantile to teach and judge by the full wisdom of God. So Satan and his brood would invent new lies to deceive them, to bring sin and death back into the world. If Jesus does not come to cast Satan and his brood off of the earth, then remain on earth to rule all as the King and High Priest of all the weak elect, a just, equitable, effective and loving kind of theocracy cannot possibly be formed on earth. Presently, almost all nations allow Satan to place his most ruthless psychopaths into the highest positions of power and authority. And even His immature elect allow this to happen, then even bow to worship those despots. So Jesus must remove all those deceivers, all the non-elect and Satan himself, before He can rule the earth justly. In the meantime, God will help the elect nullify the worst works of Satan and rule nations through a limited subset of His laws and ways, but through democracies which severely limit the power and authority of all humans, and by allowing responsible freedoms, letting God alone rule over the consciences and beliefs of the spirits of men. For His Holy Spirit alone has the wisdom and power to teach and train human spirits.

Therefore, after Satan is cast into hell, and his world order is utterly destroyed, Jesus will need to remain on earth, to rule it, to serve as the Lawmaker and High Priest of all human spirits. And Jesus will also send out faithful men to teach, judge and rule with Him, those He has personally taught and trained to serve as His priests. All these priests will teach, judge and govern all places on earth under Christ’s authority and power alone, in His name alone. All these priests, judges and authorities will be the awakened elect. And some will even be the souls of His faithful elect who had died and gone to heaven’s gates, to be further taught and trained by Jesus, then brought back to earth at the first resurrection, to rule with Jesus for a thousand years. But most of His priests will be the elect who

survived the plagues of the sixth and seventh seals, who repented on or after the great revival, men whose spirits matured gained much wisdom from Jesus during their great tribulations on the earth.

If Jesus did not return to personally teach, judge and govern the earth, but simply destroyed the entire evil world order by casting Satan and his minions off the earth, nothing good would come of it. For we will need Jesus to correct the elect who fall into errors through the pride, desires and lusts of their amoral flesh. Throughout history, we have seen how the destruction of evil systems and institutions does no good at all, if the evil is not replaced with a reasonably just democratic system or institution. If an evil dictatorship is destroyed, another evil dictatorship or an extremely corrupt government will soon rises up from its ashes, that is, unless an extensive, costly and laborious effort is made to teach, train and build up the people, both before and after the evil is removed. Or, when a false church is destroyed, a new false church will take its place and enslaves the people, if an effort is not first made to turn the people to Jesus alone, to teach them to take Jesus as their one and only Head Teacher, so their flesh will allow Jesus alone to pour His Word into their spirits. Even the total destruction of evil does no good at all, if there is nothing better to replace it. Yet all good and loving replacements are built through the hard works of serving Jesus, by teaching, feeding and counseling the victims. And Jesus trains His elect by allowing them to partake in His good works. But, if Jesus simply destroys Satan’s works, but does not replace that evil with His own personal works in the people, and His works done through His appointed servants, no good results will come of it. Then, if there is to be a theocracy of perfect wisdom, truth, justice and love to replace the entirety of Satan’s world order, we will need our God Jesus to personally rule as its King and High Priest of all souls.

But we must never expect the infantile spirits of the elect to remain strong enough or pure enough to effectively govern themselves and everyone else in a theocracy. Until Jesus returns, we must be content to form biblical democracies that choose all their decision-making authorities from those whom God had first chosen (i.e., those taught by God to serve the people, who prove to be honest, compassionate, wise and just), with checks and balances imposed on all human authorities. For it is a vain and foolish delusion to think human sinners can form a theocracy. And Jesus would never leave the surviving elect to govern the earth through a theocracy after He casts Satan into hell and destroys all the wicked. Rather, Jesus Himself will need to remain on earth as the only Head of His theocracy.

Then, at the first resurrection, Jesus will also bring many saints who died in the past. And these saints will have spent time in heaven. So they will have been thoroughly taught and trained to be God’s effective priests. Then Jesus, together with His resurrected saints, and other His other priests, whom His Holy Spirit taught and trained after the sixth-seal’s revival, will effectively govern the earth with Him. And all His priestly teaching and judging elders will speak and act in Jesus’ name alone, under the authority and through the counsel of their King Jesus, our God. Only through Jesus’ direct, personal and bodily rule over a theocracy can the earth remain loving, just and truly free.

In our day, there are still some proud souls who like to call themselves “Christians,” and also claim that Jesus will not physically return to rule the earth, but leave the entire earth under the rule of human gods from their unjust and hypocritical churches. Since they are humanists, some even delude themselves into thinking that their own churchy human gods will conquer Satan, then establish their own theocracy to govern all the earth. They seem to learn nothing from God’s Word, and certainly do not believe that all humans living in flesh are perpetual sinners. While on earth, even the most spiritually mature true disciples of Jesus are mere “babes” in Him, all very fallible, all prone to deceptions and easily lured into sins. But their false, humanistic beliefs and doctrines keep them arrogant, carnal and deluded. They even believe they can know God’s perfect will without God’s gift of prophecy, and think God will never again grant the gift of prophecy to men, since they somehow

Page 1285

think they already possess all the truth and wisdom they will ever need. Yet they do not even know the basics about God, His ways or His salvation, and do not realize that they actually do not know anything. In fact, they do not even know enough to pray rightly, to ask God the right questions to gain any real knowledge about Him and His just, loving ways. Yet they want to rule the entire world through a “Christian” theocracy, dictating what they pretend to be the will of the almighty Creator.

If those so-called “Christians” were actually left to govern the world, all would become a Satanic hell. We know this because their false churches have actually attempted to form theocracies which have ruled parts of the earth in the past. So they have repeatedly proved that all their ways are filthy and unjust, even to the extreme. In fact, God caused all those theistic humanists to become more deluded and evil than the secular humanists. For those false churches spoke all their lies and did all their deeds so falsely in God’s name that they have slandered God’s name for millenniums. But the secular humanists do nothing in God’s name, so they do not slander God’s name nearly as much.

Therefore, atheistic secular humanists have been less sinful and less cursed by God than the theistic humanists in those false churches. And, since God punishes unrepentant sinners by abandoning them to their own lies and delusions, God has allowed the theistic humanists in the false churches to become the most deluded and dishonest people on earth. Thus, they are the worst of rulers too. So, back here in reality, the awakened elect refuse to recognize the theistic humanists esteemed by those false churches, and will not call them brothers and sisters in Christ. Instead, the true elect expose their hypocrisy, lies and sins, then rebuke their slandering of God’s good, just, loving name. The true elect want no part of their lies and delusions, because Jesus’ real Holy Spirit causes their spirits to remember how those fake humanistic churches practiced the religion of Satan’s beast, whom Jesus will cast alive into the pit of hell when He returns. When Jesus physically returns to rule the earth, He will not grant any positions of authority to any human heads from any of their churches. Rather, Jesus will first destroy the Great Prostitute and all her harlot daughters, all of those false humanistic churches, even before He slaughters the atheistic secular humanists who worship the demonic beast.

So let us now remember who Jesus will actually ordain as priests, as teaching and judging elders who shall rule the world with Him during the millennium. These will be older men whom Jesus has personally taught and trained for positions of authority, to become His humbled servants of Him and His people. These will be men trained through many years of difficult trials, and some will even be resurrected martyrs, who died through their love of God and His people. Others will be chosen from among the survivors after Jesus returns. However, the vast majority of those elders will have also risked their lives for the truths of God, to save His people from the lies, sins and deaths of the devil’s brood. Yet none of these men will be nearly qualified enough to speak or act on their own authority, and all will need to teach and judge in Jesus’ name, through His commands, will and authority alone.

Most people on earth, including the surviving elders chosen by Jesus, will be suffering from shock and thoroughly exhausted from having to endure the great tribulations before Jesus returns. Yes, some of the teaching elders who survived hardships and persecutions until the millennium will be fairly well-taught and adept at leading themselves and other souls to the Head Teacher for the restoration of their internal zeal and the rejuvenation of their spirits’ love. But even the best of these surviving elders will not yet be fit enough to directly serve Jesus as His faithful priests, not able to teach and judge well enough to be truly effective in Christ, immediately after His return. Nor will most have a fully-developed gift of prophecy, which will be absolutely necessary this kind of work.

Consequently, Jesus will need to obtain His most qualified priestly elders from the souls He brings with Him in the first resurrection. Resurrected men will serve as the main body of God’s priests, to

 

Page 1286

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

govern the lands upon the earth with Jesus. And resurrected females shall serve as God’s priestesses, who shall do the works of building unity among God’s people, making them into a loving family. All these souls will be fully healed, revived, taught and trained during their stay in heaven before they return to the earth. And, even if some died only a few days before Jesus returns, they will all have plenty of time to be restored and prepared for their works on earth, because time in heaven is not like time on earth. A day in heaven can accomplish as much as a thousand years on earth. By the day of their resurrection, all these saints will be rightly and thoroughly prepared for serving Jesus on earth.

Thus, the principal reason that our God Jesus will resurrect deceased souls on the day of His return will be to immediately provide the earth with adept servants, at the beginning of the millennium, elect souls who can effectively do His works on earth starting on the day of His return. From all the prophecies, we know that time in heaven is non-linear. Thus, Jesus will have an unlimited “amount” of time in heaven to thoroughly teach and train the spirits of the awakened elect who died on earth in the past, even those killed during the end times, only a short time before that earthly day when Jesus returns. Also, when these deceased saints return to life upon the earth, their resurrected bodies of flesh will likely be stronger, but more compliant to their spirits, than they were while they previously lived on earth. So these resurrected souls will be able to govern well throughout the millennium, in much the same way Jesus will through His body of flesh. Of course, Jesus is able to rule the earth alone, without any help from anyone. Yet Jesus always causes His people to participate in His works for their own good, as their training for life in heaven, so their love for Him and His creations will grow deeper. For true and God-like love cannot grow unless one justly, truthfully and faithfully serves the objects of one’s love in the same way God does. This is why thousands of deceased elect will be resurrected, to serve in Christ’s priesthood. And elect survivors will also become priests later. Everyone on earth will learn to serve Jesus, one another and His creations, so all may learn to love.

Revelation 20:1-6 (ESV): “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his

hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient

serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into

the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer,

until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

“Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was

committed. [That is, in biblical terms, to judge is to rule, govern, counsel, teach, rebuke and correct in

God’s name, as representatives or servants of God, by revealing God’s will.] Also I saw the souls of those

who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not

worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their

hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the

dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death

has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him

for a thousand years.”

Many like to imagine that Satan is so powerful that God finds it almost impossible to overcome him. And this is why they do not turn to God whenever they think Satan is attacking them, but turn to their churchy human gods instead, to delusional priests and pastors who apparently can conquer Satan with ease. But, actually, God is the only one who has the power to command, bind and make Satan tremble. Yet God can also lend His power to others, even to an ant crawling on the ground. So, when the appointed time comes, after the revelations of His Holy Spirit have separated His elect from the non-elect on all the earth, God will grant power to His angel. God will give that angel the

Page 1287

Last Days Timeline

 

key to the bottomless pit of hell, along with a great chain. Then God will command His angel to seize Satan, the serpent-like dragon, then bind that devil with those spiritual chains and cast that worm into hell. And hell has an impassible gulf between it and all God’s good creations. So Satan will no longer be able to “deceive the nations,” until he will be briefly released after the millennium.

God bears absolute power over Satan and all that exists. God can limit, imprison or destroy Satan in a moment, whenever He wills to do so. And Satan is absolutely powerless to resist God. Satan, the ruler of all the demons, cannot even resist the power of one of God’s ordinary angels from heaven, as God commands that angel to do His will. The heavenly angel who binds Satan is not even named. So he must be a common angel, one of many spiritual beings serving God and sent on God’s missions. Yet this common angel seizes Satan, the dragon, binds him and tosses him into hell. And Satan has no power to escape from that angel or from hell, but must wait until he is released a thousand years later, according to God’s will. Then it is God who will release Satan upon the earth for a short time, before God once more casts that devil back into hell, eternally. And God could cast Satan into hell this very day, if He willed to do so. But God created the earth, our perceptions of times and seasons, for a good reason. So He will fulfill earth’s purposes first. This is where His elect children shall fully experience both good and evil, and earth’s entire history shall teach His children to love effectively.

Likewise, God created Satan and the demons as defective spirits who lacked love. Then God cast those demons down from heaven to the earth, into our perceptions of material space-time, in the very beginning. This indicates a few things. First, we must conclude that Satan has no power to resist God or even to resist any of the elect angels in heaven. Second, when we look at how much power Satan has over human beings—his ability to deceive whole nations, billions of minds of human spirits all over the world—it does not illustrate how how powerful Satan is, nor how weak God is, as atheists like to imagine. In reality, it simply demonstrates how weak and infantile the spirits and flesh of human beings actually are while they live on earth, although the spirits of God’s elect children will soon possess more power than the elect angels. Third, this indicates that God must have a purpose for Satan and for releasing upon the earth. And that purpose is obviously for the good of His elect children. God uses Satan as a bad example in His works of teaching and training His infantile elect spirits, to train the spirits of His children into maturity, so they know precisely how good and perfect the attributes and ways of their Father truly are, so they do not take their Father for granted but learn to be more like Him every day. So let us not make the foolish and irrational error of thinking that God is too weak to overcome Satan, or that He needs our help to war against demons. Nor should we ever delude ourselves into thinking we are powerful enough to overcome Satan without God’s help.

While on earth, in bodies of flesh, we cannot resist the power of even the least of the demons. We need to realize that our spirits are merely helpless infants, necessarily requiring protection, teaching and training provided by the wise and almighty Holy Spirit of our oldest Brother, Jesus, who is one with our heavenly Father. We may think it was not necessary for God to create the earth between heaven and hell, that we should have been born in the lands of heaven, like the angels, never having to experience evil. But that is not true. We need to be born as spiritual infants, need to be trained to overcome evil with good, need to learn how to nullify the works of loveless demons and to build up heaven on earth. For the process of learning all this draws us closer to our Brother and Father, as He shares in these burdens with us. It also binds our love for one another as we share our works and our trials with our brothers and sisters. And we must trust Him, knowing that the appointed times of His deliverance are coming, after He completes His purposes for us. Also, this life on earth is not all the teaching and training we will get. For the teachings of the final judgment day, with our God Jesus, will be much deeper and stronger, over a time that will be equivalent to a thousand years on earth.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

After John had been taken up to heaven, or to heaven’s gates, he said: “Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed.” And he told us that these were “also” or “even the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the Word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years” (20:4). So the elect who were beheaded by the beast will be granted thrones with the “authority to judge,” rise to life on earth, and rule over the earth together with Jesus. And, of course, this biblical kind of ruling will primarily involve teaching, especially the sinners for their repentance.

The ESV translates the description of these martyrs, who were beheaded by the beast, in a somewhat misleading way. For, after John said he saw those seated on thrones, to whom “the authority to judge was committed,” he inserted the conjunction καί, which was intended to identify these judges, to tell us who they were. Yet the ESV translated that conjunction in way that distinguished them as a group which was separate and distinct from the following description. That is, the clause, καὶ κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν πεπελεκισμένων, should be translated something like this: “And the decision-making authority of judgment was given to them, even [to] the souls of the beheaded,” and goes on to say that they were beheaded due to their testimony about Jesus and due to their testimony about the Word of God. But, instead of treating this verse as the description of one group of people, the ESV divided the verse into a description of two distinct groups: (1) “those to whom the authority to judge was committed” and (2) “also … the souls of those who had been beheaded.” Yet, since John declared that the beheaded ones will reign with Jesus for a thousand years, they are obviously the ones to whom God had granted thrones and the decision-making authority to make judgments.

These judges, who will rule with Jesus for a thousand years, “had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.” So, before they went to the gates of heaven and returned to the earth during the first resurrection, they must have lived in the lands directly controlled by beast. That is, they must have come from the seven European nations which will make up the kingdom of the fascist beast. For only in his own lands will the beast be able to force everyone to worship him, to wear the mark of his name on their foreheads or on their hands as proof that they worship him, so they can buy and sell in his lands. But most other lands will not require the worship of the beast, nor force their people to wear his mark on their foreheads or hands. In fact, some nations will be Christian and oppose the beast. Thus, we can conclude two things: (1) some true New Covenant Christians will exist in the beast’s European lands after the sixth seal’s great revival; and (2) these martyrs of the beast will not be the only ones coming to life during the first resurrection, since other prophecies indicate that people from Israel and other kingdoms, even people who died throughout all history, will return at the first resurrection. But Jesus will appoint very many from that resurrection as judges or rulers, to reign with Him for a thousand years on earth.

Notice how this declares that the souls who will be granted “authority to judge” and sit on “thrones” will be “priests of God and of the Messiah” (ἱερεῖς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ). Actually, every truly legitimate ruler or decision-making authority over God’s property on the earth is supposed serve as a just, equitable, honest, humble priest serving God’s people and God’s other creations in God’s name, according to God’s loving will. For all acts of judgment greatly affect the personal lives of other siblings belonging to God. All the different kinds of decision-makers on earth, whether in families, churches, businesses, communities, governments or otherwise, are what the New Testament calls teaching elders or “judges.” And God’s Word makes it clear that even the various kinds of secular rulers, any who bear any kind of decision-making authority, are supposed to be the λειτουργοὶ θεοῦ (the “priestly servants of God,” see Rom. 13:6, cf., Deut. 17:14-20). So all are duty-bound to do

 

Page 1289

Last Days Timeline

 

God’s will in whatever capacity they have been granted by God. If they do not do the will of God, who is the Messiah Jesus, they are not serving God’s people as legitimate “judges.” So they are to be rebuked by God and His people, or removed from office if necessary. For all humans on earth are subject to all just laws equally, and none have any impunity from the law. In fact, since all “judges” take on greater responsibilities to God as His priests, they are subject to greater penalties under all just laws, if they do not repent and bear real fruits of repentance. “Judges” are judged more harshly.

If it is possible, through a lawful process according to God’s will, the elect must remove all “judges” who oppose God’s just and loving will. Then the false judges must be replaced with those whom God Himself has chosen, with men whom God has taught to be honest, just, equitable and humble servants of His people and His creations. But we must be careful to not go against God’s will, since God will sometimes grant evil rulers to an evil people who rebel against Him, then cause those evil judges to destroy those evil people and their lands. For instance, North America has always been very stubbornly unrepentant regarding their lies, which result in sins like racism, unjust courts that discriminate against the poor, and the cruel exploitation of their siblings in the family of humankind. Since they refused to repent into the truth, with a “radical” turning away from their sins, God gave them Trump, an ignorant criminal puppet of Satan, to destroy them and their land. So there will hopefully come a time when the wicked learn their lesson, after much destruction, and the elect can rebuild their land on God’s just, equitable and loving terms. Otherwise, the whole land will perish.

After Jesus returns, literally all the judges on the earth will be faithful priests of God, without any exceptions. All secular rulers will be priests who are chosen, taught and trained by our God Jesus, and literally all illegitimate authorities will be removed or dead. All decision makers will be genuine servants of God who “reign” together with Jesus for the entire thousand years in Jesus’ name, under His authority, doing His will at all times. And many of those whom Jesus brings with Him during the first resurrection will be the first and primary priestly judges or rulers on earth. For they will have been taught by Jesus in heaven, and most of the surviving teaching and judging elders on earth will be somewhat exhausted from the great tribulations of the end-time plagues. So the elect Jews and Gentiles who were beheaded during the rule of the beast, along with other elect souls who previously died throughout history, will be granted new bodies of flesh on earth and reign with Jesus for the entire millennium. Then, through the works of Jesus and those judges, literally everyone on earth will become priests who faithfully serve God, His people and His other creations in His loving ways.

Some seen to think a devout Christian should never become a politician or judge with secular authority. And they definitely think a pastor or priest should never involve himself in political or legal affairs of the state. Well, it is true that God alone rules over consciences and, therefore, over each individual’s conscience and beliefs. So all His elders must provide freedom of conscience and freedom of religion in all lands during the current eras, before Jesus returns. And we must not legislate against private choices such as homosexuality, lesbianism, abortions and the like, as long as those choices are not forced on anyone else. We must even allow deluded and deceiving pastors, priests and politicians some freedoms, as long as their words and choices do not cause harm to others. But every secular matter is also a matter which is of interest to God, the Owner of all people and all lands, as well as to His people and His property. Therefore, God’s priests, to do God’s will, must concern themselves with every secular matter, as well as every other spiritual and moral matter which affects God’s people and His other creation. And literally all decision-making authorities must serve God as the “blessed and holy ... priests of God and of the Messiah,” which is why God also commanded that all secular authorities must study His ways (Deut. 17:18-20), like all other brothers.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Both secular and religious decision-making authorities affect the lives of their equal brothers and sisters in both secular and religious matters. So they must make all their decisions as God’s faithful priests, according to God’s just, equitable, loving will for His people and for His other creations. Therefore, Jesus has never forbidden His elect from serving in secular offices, but only forbade His priests, all members of His true church, from imposing His religious laws upon those who are not His consciously serving members of His church. Throughout history, our God Jesus has wanted His elect to serve as decision-making authorities over both secular and religious affairs for all the people on earth, but in a way that only does His will for the sakes of all the people, through loving justice.

Isaiah 1:24-28 (ESV): “Therefore the Lord declares, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of

Israel: ‘Ah, I will get relief from My enemies and avenge Myself on My foes. I will turn My

hand against you [Jerusalem] and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your

alloy. And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning.

Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.’ Zion shall be

redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent , by righteousness . But rebels and sinners

shall be broken together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.”

Here God is prophesying through Isaiah about the millennium, after He will “avenge” Himself against His enemies. But note how His revenge is solely to gain justice and an abundant life for His people. From the very beginning, God commanded: “Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord’” (Rom. 12:19, cf., Deut. 32:35). This is an important lesson to learn, that human works of true justice must never be done through anger seeking vengeance, but only through lawful, logical, wise and loving thoughts and actions, which separate the innocent from intentional liars and sinners, as well as provide mercy for the truly repentant. True justice acts through true love for God and His people. We may need to prioritize our actions of love to a certain extent, because we have very limited time, energy and resources. However, we must never compromises love for God and never work injustice.

We sometimes become bitter when we see the prosperity of the loveless enemies of God, our unjust oppressors. For they live in luxury, with no financial troubles like ours, because they faithfully serve the inventor of money, Satan. They succeed in all their works for the devil’s world order, as they intentionally harm others, and remain free from accountability for decades. Because we continuously suffer from their unjust blows, we may even say, “All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence” (Ps. 73:13, ESV). Then God’s Holy Spirit reminds our spirits of the eternal treasures we have received, and also exposes the abject inner poverty and dark empty lives of those evil souls. Then we thank God that we are not them and press on towards the goal, to build abundant loving lives for ourselves, abandoning the wicked to their dark delusions and God’s inevitable wrath.

We must always remember, there is a good reason for leaving vengeance to our wise and patient God alone, because human revenge is always a bitter, arrogant sin. And, to make room for itself, human vengeance casts out the useful treasures of God, from our hearts and souls. Human vengeance is always ignorant, foolish, unjust and destructive, always worked through a blinded hatred, and never adequately considers the real needs of other souls nor the losses it produces. Only God’s vengeance is sinless, since God tempers it with a sane and wise love, then waits for the right time, until He can eliminate the unrepentant wicked without harming His beloved elect. God also often waits until the reasons for His wrath are revealed to His elect before He acts, then acts in ways which educate their spirits. God is slow to anger and entirely just in all His judgments. Even when God acts quickly to strike down an unjust soul, He grants that one an opportunity to repent into a knowledge of the truth.

 

Page 1291

Last Days Timeline

 

For He is just. And God always works true repentance in all His elect, if not on earth, then when they get to heaven’s gates on the last day. But human vengeance is utterly incapable of doing any of this.

Even if some try to bring evil people to repentance, they often do so in wrong ways, such as by evangelizing churchy half-truths and lies, or by threatening with penalties that exceed to weight of the crimes or misdemeanors. Huge fines, harsh prisons and violence actually demoralize a society and increase both the amount of crimes and their severity, but never produce a more just, secure and peaceful place to live. Yet promoting a gentle, just, moral, merciful and loving society is profoundly effective in eliminating most crimes and bad practices. The free public dissemination of real and whole biblical truths, as well as free and public education regarding truly scientific and social facts, will cause most of the elect to repent, after God works in them. Then the non-elect, who never truly repent, can usually be kept in check by the stigmatization of their lies and sins, by shunning them, boycotting their businesses or publicly shaming them. And, instead of employing huge fines, which disproportionately burden the poor and mean nothing to the rich, or increasing the amount and severity of prison sentences and violence against the elect and the non-elect alike, courts can punish only the stubbornly unrepentant. They can confiscate stolen property and possibly add fines of up to twenty percent of the stolen amount for damages. This will deter most thefts. And most thieves will be caught in a moral environment where the majority cooperates in catching thieves. Then courts can imprison the unrepentant in correctional facilities, which truly educate the elect, to lead them into an abundant life of loving and being loved, while it also keeps the non-elect from harming the public.

Only God is able to directly convict an elect spirit for repentance. Only He can effectively rebuke lies and sins deeply in the heart, then counsel a spirit with the whole and relevant truth, while even providing circumstances which allow the elect to find truly abundant lives. No human being can adequately do this. But we can be called by God to share in these works, together with Him. An elect human spirit can send a message of love to other spirits through one’s mind and body of flesh, from one’s mouth and through the works of one’s hands. Yes, sometimes our messages may be “lost in translation,” and misinterpreted. But love can be expressed through the flesh, and many of the elect hearing those messages will receive and interpret them rightly. The flesh of some elect will present those words and deeds to the minds of their spirits in their souls, then recognize the love of the other elect spirits and respond with love. So there may be some misinterpretations of the meaning behind our spirits’ expressions of love during this process, or they may be simply ignored. And it is more difficult for some elect to express love and truth than it is for others. However, we cannot give up on trying to do these works. For, if we neglect these works, all we will have are the expressions of lies, hatred and psychopathy by the non-elect, who are always willing to express the evil in their hearts.

Nevertheless, although we may express truth and love, even offer the very words and works of God to sinners, we cannot convict their hearts for repentance, not until God gives the elect spirits of sinners the ears to hear and the eyes to see. God must do the works of restoring our just judges and wise counsellors, so we may become cities of righteousness. And, if the elect cannot yet hear or see, we dare not cruelly punish them in revenge, lest we harm elect souls unjustly. It is always best to leave vengeance against evil to God alone. No good can come from human revenge. The elect in our land can only be “redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness” (Is. 1:27).

Yes, God commands us to judge against liars and sinners, to administer justice for the sakes of the innocent. But He commands us to judge rightly and justly, according to His own interpretation of His own words. Jesus fulfills God’s laws which gave us the duty of stopping sinners from harming and killing the innocent. And we are to share in Christ’s work of undoing the works of Satan, so we might build up His kingdom on earth. God even allowed us to “bear the sword,” to use deadly force

Page 1292

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

to stop sins whenever it is absolutely necessary for the sakes of the innocent, yet only according to His will, through just and lawful organizations and through a genuine need to protect. We are not to take personal revenge as vigilantes, only do what is wise and just through God-like love. In all that God ever commanded, human beings were never allowed to seek revenge, only protecting justice.

When we separate criminals from the public in correctional facilities, to keep the public safe, we are to do so with the goal of seeking restoration and redemption for those able to repent, not to punish for revenge, not to make a human being “pay for” their crimes by torturing them. God commands us to strive to redeem as many sinners as possible, to lead whomever we can into a loving and godly life through repentance into a knowledge of His truths. True justice is for living and building, so the future works of sinners can be built up and restored, so all they took from God’s people and God’s creations can be redeemed through fruits of repentance. Of course, if we come across a dangerous and deluded psychopath who will never repent, who will always continue to harm or kill others all his life, we may need to protect the people by executing that one, if incarceration cannot adequately prevent that psychopath from hurting his guards and others. But even a psychopath’s execution should only occur after some time of careful observation, because we often make mistakes in judging the souls of sinners. Only after it has been thoroughly and adequately proven that one is indeed a psychopath, with an awake spirit that directly serves Satan at all times, should we execute that one. And this is not an act of vengeance, and the death of sinner cannot pay for any crime or sin.

The death of the completely sinless body of Jesus paid for the lies and sins of His elect. But the death of a sinner’s body cannot pay for one’s own lies and sins, nor for the lies and sins of anyone else. Every dead sinner’s spirit will be granted a new body, then face Jesus’ judgment on the last day. And, if a sinner cannot repent into the truth taught by Jesus on that day, to receive forgiveness and the full restoration of one’s relationship with Him through the death of His earthly body, then that sinner will be cast eternally into the darkness of one’s own lies and delusions. So it is a demonic lie to think that justice must torture or kill souls for their lies or sins. That pagan Roman kind of revenge is Satanic. Only the death of Jesus’ completely sinless body on the cross can pay for lies and sins, even for the sin of murder. And a true system of justice will judge like God, according to His will and by His wise laws, which Jesus’ Holy Spirit fulfills in us and through us. And this includes mercy for truly repentant sinners, seeking their restoration into a free, abundant life. There is no justice from any human system. Only fulfilling God’s just, equitable, merciful, loving Law in Jesus is just.

God’s work of restoring justice in any land is a process which employs purifying fire and harsh launderer’s soap. He smelts stone hearts, separating the precious metal from the dross. He cleanses the garments woven from our words and deeds, scrubbing out all impurities with caustic rebukes, until they are pure white. So what remains in us will be valuable, and the survivors of this process over all the earth will be a precious remnant of just judges, wise counsellors and loving workers of every kind. He said, “I will turn My hand against you,” to purify us, because we are not as good as we think we are. In fact, our governing authorities even cause us, collectively, to destroy the lives of our siblings in the family humankind and ruin His creations which feed the earth. So He needs to purify us through His painful processes, to restore true judges and counsellors who will lead us into righteousness. But His purifying process will indeed build us up, unlike the entirely destructive suffering caused by Satan. Then each community of elect “shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city” (Is. 1:26). And Jerusalem, where Jesus dwells, will become the capital of all these loving, just, equitable, peaceful cities on the earth, the standard and example of God’s righteousness.

“Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness” (Is. 1:27, ESV). This will occur after God destroys His enemies and restores just judges and wise counsellors, which

Page 1293

Last Days Timeline

 

also means that it will happen after the first resurrection. Many of these faithful judges and reliable counsellors, who will faithfully serve God in all their words and decisions, will be the resurrected saints. And when the purified surviving elect and the resurrected saints labor together with Jesus, the Messiah’s rule will be characterized by justice, righteousness and faithfulness, all originating from Jerusalem, where the earth’s King establishes His throne. Once Jesus slays the oppressors who oppose Him and His loving elect, once those liars and murderers “shall be broken together” on the day of His return, we will finally live in peace everywhere on the earth for a thousand good years.

Isaiah 2:2-5 (ESV): “It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of

[Yahweh] [i.e., the Temple Mount] shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall

be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations [all Gentiles] shall flow to it, and many peoples

[many races and tribes] shall come, and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of [Yahweh],

to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in

His paths.’ For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of [Yahweh] from Jerusalem. He

shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall

beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up

sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. O house of Jacob [i.e., the entire

church of Israel, including Gentiles brought into her] , come, let us walk in the light of [Yahweh].”

Of course, Jerusalem’s Temple Mount will not physically become the highest mountain on earth. But it will be the most precious and esteemed hill on earth, the most critically important high place on this planet. Every soul will see it as the highest, most exalted, loftiest mountain on earth. Gentiles from everywhere in the world will go up to the temple in Jerusalem, to learn from God, to seek His perfect judgments. Again, notice how God includes the elect from literally all “races” on earth in this prophecy. For there no concept of “races” in God’s mind, nor should there be in our minds. There is only one family of humankind created by God, one kind of creature created with the ability to discern between good and evil. And the Temple Mount is where our God Jesus will establish His throne, for the purpose “that He may teach” all of us, all the families and tribes of elect on earth. Also, since this prophecy tells us that it is Yahweh will teach everyone from that physical location, then Yahweh must come to us in a body of flesh, because He will teach us while we live in bodies of flesh. So this prophecy is about everyone’s Messiah Jesus, who is Yahweh our God, teaching us all from the Temple in Jerusalem. The God of Jacob, Isaac and Abraham will be the Messiah’s Spirit.

During the entire millennium, Jesus will personally teach His just and loving ways to all, the fulfilled laws of God, so we may walk according to His ways. For the Law that Jesus came to fulfill not only tells us what is right and what is wrong, but its fulfilled or positive implications also tells us how to live, how to overcome our flesh so we might do His will in a just and loving way, through the power and counsel of His Spirit in our hearts. For example, His Law said we must not murder through the evil motives and intentions of our hearts. But this fulfilled law in Jesus calls us to maintain and restore life in others, even in our enemies, through just, loving motives and intentions of our spirits.

Jesus will rule the nations as their King, making judgments according to the fulfilled laws of God. And as our teaching and counseling High Priest, He shall reveal what is in our hearts. He will expose, admonish, uplift, comfort, convince and set us on right paths, so we might live abundant lives. And, before the millennium of His rule even begins, He will destroy the liars and murderers of the earth, all the demonic deceivers like Trump and Hitler, and all their loveless, blind followers. So we will have peace on earth, without any of Satan’s dark delusions to drag us into hatred and wars.

 

Page 1294

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

We need to remember prophecies like this. For this is what our God, Yahweh Jesus, wants us to meditate on and strive for, while we contend with evil on this earth. Yet we will not nullify the works of Satan and build the kingdom of God in full during our lifetimes, not until Jesus comes to rule the earth. The so-called “art of warfare” will not be utterly forgotten until He returns. But, when He does come in His glory, there will be no more armed police or soldiers, since there will never again be any need for them. In fact, by then, not even farmers and ranchers will need guns, since He is God, and He will control invasive species and predatory animals. So the metals from weapons and shells will be recycled. Jesus “shall judge between nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore” (Is. 2:4, ESV). Our interests will turn to building up life, to growing plants and raising animals, to restoring the beauty of God’s creations.

But one thing is certain, humans will still have infantile spirits and amoral bodies of flesh while they live on this earth. Only the elect will survive, so there will not be much crime, but there will be some who fall into errors and sins. Even some aspects of ancient humanism will creep into the thoughts of some people. So Jesus will release Satan after the millennium, who will then create some non-elect human souls to cause the rebellion of Gog and Magog. This will illustrate, with finality, that the esteem of men and the arrogance of wanna-be human gods are completely incompatible with the ways of God. Satan’s armies will truly horrify the world, after a thousand years of peace and order. This time, they will not do nearly as much damage as they do now, since those non-elect will need to use primitive weapons made of wood, as they did in ancient times. But they will terrorize and strive to conquer, kill and enslave, reviving the old humanistic ways of Babylon. Then Jesus will destroy them all, cast Satan back into hell. As a result, the elect on earth will never again tolerate any traces of humanism whatsoever. Peace and justice will be restored, until Jesus will end material existence.

So God, through His prophets, pleads with us: “O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of Yahweh” (Is. 2:5). The “house of Jacob” is Israel, all the tribes of elect Jews and all the elect Gentiles whom Yahweh Jesus has brought into His tribe of Judah. And when God says “let us walk in the light of Yahweh,” our God Jesus means that we should walk with Him, beside Him, all in the same direction and to the same lands of heaven. All that is granted to the elect from their shared heavenly Father, from the Creator, is light. All His words are genuine reality, verity and truth. All His deeds are for the education, improvement, growth and strengthening of the spirits of His children. Therefore, the elect should not turn away from Him, to walk in the darkness of Satan’s world order.

Isaiah 4:2-6 (ESV): “In that day the Branch of [Yahweh] shall be beautiful and glorious,

[i.e., ‘the Branch of Yahweh’ refers to the Messiah, the human body of God among the ‘branches’ or bodies of

men.] and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. And he

who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been

recorded for life in Jerusalem, when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the

daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a Spirit of

judgment and by a Spirit of burning. Then [Yahweh] will create over the whole site of Mount

Zion [the Temple Mount] and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of

a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy. There will be a booth for

shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.”

Again, in this prophecy, God tells us that only a remnant of Israel will survive in the end times, and only these will see the Messiah Jesus when He returns to walk among them. Elect Jews, “everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem,” those “recorded for life,” predestined for that day from the beginning, will serve the Messiah in that city. They will host all who visit Him, and maintain the

 

Page 1295

city with all its parks. But all who falsely claim to be Israel, the loveless who not true Jews, will be taken away in death before the Messiah’s glorious advent, before He sets His feet on the earth. And those who are chosen for life with Jesus will be purified from the lies of those false Jews. “The Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a Spirit of judgment and by a Spirit of burning.” His Holy Spirit’s power will judge every thought in their souls and burn away every lie or delusion. For they will serve Jesus rightly.

Literally all the Jews whom the Messiah God chooses to remain with Him in Jerusalem and Israel will be His unique priesthood and “will be called holy,” will be separated unto Him solely for His purposes alone, to serve as His representatives in the world. All the elect Jews will become His faithful messengers of truth and counsel for the rest of the world. Jesus will fulfill His promise to Abraham, making all His priests to serve the entire world. For all these Jews will be taught and trained directly by the Messiah, to serve Him as His hosting priests. All will be made subjectively righteous after He returns, truly loving, just and wise, always walking in His ways. Their spirits will judge rightly, and they will seek just judgments regarding the motives and intentions behind every word and deed. They will pursue just and God-like love with burning zeal in their hearts. The power and wisdom of Jesus will cause all this, and He is not able to fail to cause all this in their elect souls.

Isaiah 11:1-12 (ESV): “There shall come forth a Shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a

Branch from his roots shall bear fruit. [This ‘Shoot’ from Jesse (Jesse is the father of David the king)

and the ‘Branch’ from his root is, of course, the Messiah Jesus.] And the Spirit of [Yahweh] shall rest

upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit

of knowledge and the fear of [Yahweh]. And His delight shall be in the fear of [Yahweh]. He

shall not judge by what His eyes see, or decide disputes by what His ears hear, but with

righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of His lips He

shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His waist, and faithfulness the belt

of His loins.

“The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and

the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow

and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like

the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put

his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain; for the

earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

“In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of Him shall the

nations inquire, and His resting place shall be glorious. In that day the Lord will extend His

hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of His people , from Asyria,

from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the

coastlands of the sea. He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of

Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

This is a prophecy about the return of the Messiah and the millennium. It is about the day “the Lord will extend His hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of His people,” after He has removed Satan and his loveless brood from the earth. The first time Yahweh came to us in a body of flesh to proclaim and ratify His New Covenant salvation from lies and sins. But He then ascended back into heaven, promising to return. Soon, at His second coming, He will stay to answer all our inquiries and provide a glorious “resting place” for the comfort and healing of His people, the

 

Page 1296

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

elect from nations everywhere on the earth. Jesus will “extend His hand” to peoples from many lands near Israel and even “from the coastlands of the sea,” that is, from far-off lands that cannot be reached by traveling over land, distant kingdoms around the world. And, during His stay, He will also gather elect Jews “from the four corners of the earth” back to their restored homeland of Israel.

Here God declared that “the Spirit of Yahweh” will “rest upon” the Messiah. Or this might also be interpreted as saying, God’s “Spirit upon Him shall dwell” or live in Him (Hebrew = nuach, “to dwell, stay”). God is a Spirit, and the Spirit of life in Jesus is not a human spirit, but is the Spirit who called Himself “Yahweh” and the Creator God. God, with all His power and the whole of His mind shall “dwell in” Jesus. Churches today do not seem to understand this, since they all believe various forms of Platonic anthropological doctrines and, as a consequence, cannot comprehend how a human being can be both fully God and fully human at the same time. That is, they do not believe that every human being has two minds, a far greater mind of the eternal spirit, as well as a very fallible and temporary mind of flesh, both functioning in the chamber of the soul at the same time. So, after the apostles died and itinerate philosophers took over and taught Middle Platonism, churches have not truly believed that Jesus is fully God in a human body. Some even think the Spirit of God is too “big” to fit into a human body. But, of course, spirits have no material dimensions at all, no physical size. And, if God’s Spirit is too “big” to fit into a human body, then so are human spirits, since elect human spirits are actually made in the image of God’s Spirit, and are far “bigger” than angel spirits.

For millenniums, fake humanistic churches have refused to rely on Jesus as their only Head Teacher and only High Priest, but have replaced faith in our God Jesus with faith in human gods. They have all taken the worst of mortal men, the most selfishly ambitious deceivers, to be their heads and lords. So the churches have all been extremely corrupt, as evil as they were in ancient times, when they worshipped the demon Baal and called him “Yahweh.” They have all forfeited the New Covenant salvation of Jesus, which teaches and trains elect spirits to fulfill the just and loving laws of God.

People somehow think today’s humanistic churches are better than Israel was when God punished them, or less evil than the Roman Catholic church was before the Reformation. But that simply is not true. In our day, churches still promote the same kind of fascism that the demonic beast shall preach in the end times. They still murder, destroy and oppress millions of souls in many ways that they disguise as righteousness, while they oppose every kind of just and loving righteousness which our God Jesus taught to us. Their false doctrines only promote harsh and merciless injustice. And they are all eager to pant after Satan’s invention of money, while trampling the poor through their exploitative investments which collect usury from their own siblings, through practices that God has always condemned. And they help no one in the truly loving and wise ways that Jesus commands.

Through the sins and foolishness of the humanistic churches, thoroughly demonic Hitlers and Trumps have risen up to lie, take bribes, steal from the people, oppress the truth and murder, even while denying souls any spiritual or physical help, causing siblings to suffer and die needlessly. The fake humanistic churches do nothing for God, just waste their God-given time and resources on the vanity of Satan’s world order. They never actually serve Jesus, their God, by serving His people and His other creations. In Isaiah’s day, the church of Israel was actually less blasphemous and far more innocent than they are now, since that church did not possess nearly as many revelations from God, like the churches do today. Still, the church in Isaiah’s day was evil enough to deserve God’s wrath, since they too thought they were pretty good people, solely because they pretended to worship Yahweh. Now churches also pretend to worship Yahweh Jesus, while actually worshiping false idols like lying human gods, money and other demonic spirits pretending to be God or to be sent by God.

 

Page 1297

Last Days Timeline

 

Therefore, God will soundly rebuke today’s humanistic churches and slaughter all who do not truly repent out of them. For, of course, since those fake churches have never listened to God’s words granted through His prophets and apostles, they will not heed God’s rebukes in the end times either, and most souls in them will be burned through God’s wrath. Today’s churches are far worse than Isaiah’s false church was back then, and more practiced in deceitfully covering up their sins. So they will not escape the sentence of eternal hell. For none of the churches today actually fear God with true reverence. They never carefully weigh His just words and ways to honestly evaluate their own hearts. Instead, they heed only human liars who appeal to their own carnal desires, who tickle their ears with motivational speeches, who encourage them to seek the approval of Satan’s world order and abandon the eternal spiritual treasures of God. Not one desires eternal citizenship in the kingdom of God, only the rewards of Satan’s world order. So they will reap the harvest of eternal emptiness.

Even when the end times begin, we will see that, “with righteousness He shall judge the poor,” who cannot adequately defend themselves with convincing words. And He will “decide with equity for the meek of the earth,” for those who cannot take a strong stand against their accusers. Then Jesus “shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall kill the wicked.” When He opens the sixth and seventh seals, it will signal the end of His tolerance for evil upon His property of the earth. He will separate and redeem His elect, along with His other good living creations, all within only one generation. Then, after Jesus removes Satan and his non-elect brood from the earth, He will set His physical feet on the Mount of Olives and walk to His temple.

Once Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, He will dwell with us for more than a thousand years, to complete His works of redeeming His earthly kingdom and all His elect in it. The Spirit of Yahweh God shall be in Him, “the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of Yahweh,” to guide us in all matters of life and faith. He will delight in the elect whose spirits are afraid to displease their holy Father. But, when His beloved children fall into errors and sins, He will not judge them by superficial criteria, not “by what His eyes see.” Nor will He simply “decide disputes by what His ears hear.” Rather, He will see the motives and intentions of all hearts, and hear the thoughts of spirits and flesh in our souls, then restore us to a right thinking.

After Jesus returns, He will also redeem the plants and animals on earth. He will not only restore the health of nature, but alter it. “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea” (Is. 11:6-9, ESV). Many like to interpret this as figurative poetry. But the elect, especially those who have lived out in nature, know that this is prophesying what will literally occur after our God Jesus returns, and have already seen signs of it in our day. Wherever “the knowledge of Yahweh” is present, there we also find love and peace, even among the spirits of life in plants and animals. Frustration, hunger and killing will cease.

Our God Jesus is omnipotent, able to change the physical attributes of digestive systems in all the animals on earth, even in an instant. Whether we believe it or not, Jesus will make the predatory creatures of this earth into harmless herbivores on the day of His return. When we read this, we need to realize that Isaiah was prophesying about the Messiah restoring the earth into something even better than its original state, when Adam and Eve were formed. Some say that, back before Adam and Eve sinned, none of the creatures on earth killed other creatures or man, but all were herbivores. For they say God only gave animals “every green herb for food” (Gen. 1:30), nothing else. But it did

Page 1298

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

not explicitly state that predators would not feed on herbivores and, therefore, indirectly sustain themselves through “every green herb.” So there likely were carnivores living on earth back then.

And, although the body of God, who is Jesus, walked in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, He had not yet come to rule the earth as its King and High Priest at that time. And He had created the earth to illustrate both good and evil, both life and death, then arranged for Adam and Eve to learn about sin, so they would become more like Himself, with a knowledge of both good and evil. Yes, for a short time, Adam and Eve were protected in a kind of “nursery,” in a safe place called the Garden of Eden. But that did not mean that the rest of the world was not an active illustration of both good and evil, that death did not exist in the rest of the world. But the time is coming when our God Jesus shall come to rule the entire earth as its only King and High Priest. Thus, if there ever will be a time when animals shall stop killing other animals and humans, it will be when Jesus has returned.

Of course, Jesus will still need to allow some physical pain and death on the earth after He returns, in order to teach and train His elect to apply the knowledge He grants to them. But remember, He will also have all of history to illustrate His teachings. And Jesus will have a right knowledge of all that was in the hearts of those who made history, not a biased humanistic interpretation, like we are given in our schools today. Also, Jesus will not lie about nor justify any who exploited, oppressed, enslaved and murdered their siblings in the family of humankind. Jesus will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even about the great hypocrisy of all the fake churches throughout history. And the children born during the millennium will believe every word of Jesus, then discover the propensities of their own amoral flesh to lie and sin, and firmly resolve to walk according their elect spirits, as Jesus’ Holy Spirit personally grants their spirits His knowledge, counsel and wisdom.

Isaiah 12:1-6: “You will say in that day: ‘I will give thanks to You, [Yahweh], for though

You were angry with me, Your anger turned away, that You might comfort me. Behold,

God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for [Yahweh] God is my

strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.’ With joy you will draw water

from the wells of salvation . And you will say in that day: ‘Give thanks to [Yahweh], call

upon His name, make known His deeds among the peoples, proclaim that His name is

exalted. Sing praises to [Yahweh], for He has done gloriously; let this be made known in all

the earth. Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy

One of Israel.’”

Clearly, this is a Messianic prophecy about “that day” when He returns to rule the earth, when He dwells Zion, in Jerusalem. But how can the just God turn away His anger from our horrible lies and sins, from our intentional injustice? The only way is through the blood of Yahweh’s own utterly sinless body tortured and killed on a cross to pay the just penalty for those lies and sins, so our repentant elect hearts might partake in His suffering and death with Him, after realizing what our lies and sins have done to others. And, after we repent into His truths about our lives, He will then restore a right relationship with our spirits. so we will trust in His love and in His words, joyfully drawing the living waters of His Holy Spirit from “the wells of salvation.” This is our comfort from our God, Yahweh Jesus. He Himself will make us able to walk in paths of righteousness, to be just and loving while we live on earth. No longer will we fear His eternal wrath, though our spirits know our lies and sins deserve it. For Jesus will be our strength and song, our salvation. And, instead of hell on the final day at the gates of heaven, He will even complete and perfect us in holiness, for our eternal lives at home on heaven’s mainland. All of our salvation will be worked by His own hands.

 

Page 1299

Last Days Timeline

 

Because our God Jesus is our salvation, we do not trust in ourselves, in our own so-called “free will” or our own personal power to save us. For we have no “free will” nor any power to overcome our own foolishness and bondage to sin. Spiritual powers and even other humans beings control all we think and believe. We are manipulated infants, powerless fools. Only our God Jesus bears the power to save us from delusions, lies and sins. Thus, our elect spirits learn to trust only in Him. This is our saving faith, our trust and confidence in Jesus, in the Holy One of Israel. And with this trust, our fear of judgment and hell dissipates like a fog in the morning sun and wind. Now we rely on true power, which is not our own. He has become our song of joy, the purest of cool waters to quench our thirst in the spiritual desert of Satan’s world order. This is why we proclaim His name, why we esteem and exalt the name of Yahweh Jesus above all other names walking upon the earth or in heaven. Only Jesus has done gloriously. “Let this be made known in all the earth.” Shout this from the rooftops.

By the way, notice how God, speaking through His faithful servant Isaiah, commanded this: “Give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the peoples, proclaim that His name is exalted.” Yet Jews refuse to even mention the name of “Yahweh,” and Christians also delete His name from all their translations of His words, in direct disobedience to Yahweh. The name that God gave to Himself and commanded His people to use when they address Him is intentionally hidden from His people, so they cannot thank Yahweh, praise Yahweh, call upon Yahweh for His help nor proclaim that Yahweh is exalted. All the prophets used the name of Yahweh, and all the apostles used the name of Jesus, who is Yahweh in a body of human flesh. Yet humanistic Jews have somehow been able to convince their people of their lie that they should never mention His name.

Isaiah 25:6-9 (ESV): “On this mountain [Yahweh] of hosts will make for all peoples a feast

of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.

And He will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil

that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord [Yahweh] will

wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of His people He will take away from all the

earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, ‘Behold, this is our God; we have

waited for Him, that He might save us. This is [Yahweh]; we have waited for Him; let us be

glad and rejoice in His salvation.’”

It took 2,000 years from Abraham until our God Yahweh Jesus came the first time, mild and gentle, riding on the foal of donkey, for the sole purpose of announcing and ratifying our salvation. And now it has been another 2,000 years, and many signs tell us that He will soon come the second time. But this time He will come to draw the elect to Himself and slaughter the non-elect. Our God Jesus will be “a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall” (Is. 25:4, WEB). Then, after His feet touch the earth, and only the elect remain alive, He “will make for all peoples a feast” on the Temple Mount, where all the nations of the earth will gather to hear His wise counsel. Then, after more than a thousand years of His rule, Jesus will raise all human beings up to the gates of heaven and “will swallow up death forever.” For we will begin life in reality, in the eternal spiritual realm of our permanent home. It will be just as Isaiah also told us, God has “done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth” (Is. 25:1, WEB).

We have waited many generations for Jesus to return. In fact, we have been buried in a mountain of darkness and death for so long that some think the light and life of Jesus is a fairytale, even that Yahweh Himself and heaven does not actually exist. But some elect spirits can still see heaven and know that they live there even now, while our flesh lives on earth. Some sense His Holy Spirit pouring the light of His truth into their spirits. And more will experience this during the great revival

of the sixth seal’s era in the end times. So our spirits hold firmly to this hope which Yahweh Jesus revealed through Isaiah and we pray, “Father, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We shall see the days on earth when death is rare, and we shall see endless days in heaven too, where death shall never again threaten us. We will turn our focus from survival to living through love with Jesus.

Isaiah 26:1-11 (ESV): “In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: ‘We have a

strong city; He sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous

nation that keeps faith may enter in. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on

You, because he trusts in You. Trust in [Yahweh] forever, for [Yahweh] God is an everlasting

rock. For He has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it

low to the ground, casts it to the dust. The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of

the needy.’ The path of the righteous is level; You make level the way of the righteous.

“In the path of Your judgments, [Yahweh], we wait for You; Your name and remembrance are

the desire of our soul. My soul yearns for You in the night; my spirit within me earnestly

seeks You. For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn

righteousness. If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of

uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of [Yahweh]. [Yahweh], Your

hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see Your zeal for Your people, and be

ashamed. Let the fire for Your adversaries consume them.”

God spoke through Isaiah about the second advent of the Messiah Jesus here, and how He would make all level, tearing down the humanistic hierarchies and class systems on earth. At His return, Jesus will have “humbled the inhabitants of the height” so the “feet of the poor, the steps of the needy” will trample them. But these tramplers will not include all the poor and needy. They will be only those who trust in their God Jesus, whose souls desire His name and remembrance, whose spirits “earnestly seek” Him and “learn righteousness,” how to justly love as He does. As for the wicked, they will be busy serving Satan for rewards of money, so they can gain power over their own equal siblings. Thus, they will not “see the majesty of Yahweh” nor “learn righteousness.” They will be so distracted with plans to deal “corruptly” against their siblings that they will not see when His hand “is lifted up” against them. Thus, His “fire” will consume them in ignorance and in shame.

Jesus is Yahweh in a body of flesh, who came to walk among the people of Judah, and will come again to lift up His hand against the wicked, to consume His adversaries through His loving zeal for His elect. Here we also see exactly how Jesus will judge the world. This illustrates the differences between righteous elect spirits born of God and corrupt non-elect spirits born of Satan. But notice it does not say that the elect will teach themselves to become righteous. The real difference is that elect “learn righteousness” from God Himself. God “makes level the way of the righteous,” so His elect do not fall down a slippery slope. In hilly country, an unlevel path is difficult to walk on, especially when a storm wets the ground and makes it slippery. But, even in dry weather, a path going up and down the hills will exhaust the travellers and make them prone to falls and serious injuries, or even death. Likewise, when people are uneven, when they esteem some more than others, when they makes a few rich and privileged but leave most others poor and disadvantaged, it also greatly inhibits progress and causes injuries or destruction. A level path is always safer and easier to travel.

Therefore, our God Jesus will make a level path for His people. The “path of God’s judgments” will be just, equitable and utilize all the gifts He has granted to each individual, so each one will find true satisfaction and great joy in all their works for Him. This is why we long for His Spirit to teach us what is true and right, why we look to His Word and trust in His wise counsel. Our souls—the minds

of our spirits working together with the minds of our flesh—eagerly desire Him and His ways, then wait for Him to do His works in and through us. Humbled elect spirits learn do earnestly seek Him, because He is our only Savior, and there is no other. We know that, if Jesus rules all the earth, our entire family of elect souls will learn true, loving righteousness from Him, and live abundant lives.

But non-elect spirits never learn righteousness, and always remain wicked. Therefore, if we or God Himself shows any favor to a non-elect soul, that one’s wicked heart will merely use it for corrupt purposes, and take the opportunity to exploit other equal siblings for one’s own personal gain and pleasure. No amount of kindness and patience for the non-elect will ever teach them anything about just, equitable, unconditional, God-like love. For they are incapable of either giving or receiving that kind of love. Only if we or God grants favor to elect souls, will their elect spirits rejoice in the grace of God and learn to walk in the paths of God, which teach them to love justly. Only the elect are able to learn true righteousness, because only their elect spirits can see the majesty of God, can peer into the spiritual realm of heaven, can discern the shape of God’s wise and loving ways in His physical and spiritual creations. For all God’s loving attributes are written everywhere in both His physical and spiritual creations. Nature and the supernatural reveal what the Creator loves and what He hates.

The non-elect can never truly see beauty in either God’s physical or spiritual creations, because all real beauty is spiritual and reflects God’s spiritual attributes, His wise and loving spiritual ways. The non-elect are so blind that they cannot comprehend any truths, neither those written in His Book nor those written in His creations. And, when God lifts His hand to strike them down, with His deadly sword of justice hovering over their heads, they will not see that either. During the last moments of their wicked lives, just before God’s zeal for His elect delivers His deadly blows against them, they will be so busy with the pursuit of their arrogant carnal delusions that they will have no time to look up and see His sword. Nor will they have even a brief thought of shame and repentance. Thus, they will die in utter dismay, and their spirits will be consumed by the everlasting fires of hell, which each one’s own lies and delusions have created for oneself. Thus, the awakened elect, whose spirits are able to enjoy the beauty of God and His truths during countless moments of their earthly lives, are not envious of Satan’s rewards for his faithful non-elect. For their riches and luxuries are darkness and emptiness, but God gives true joy to even the poorest elect souls trapped in Satan’s world order.

The elect will keep on living when Jesus returns. All will learn to build up love and life forever after that day. We will eternally trust in Jesus, for He is our everlasting Rock, who will always walk in a new body made of spiritual substances among our new bodies in heaven. There He will keep our minds in perfect peace. No anxieties will ever trouble our hearts again. Even as we live in extremely fallible dying flesh upon this earth, the minds of our spirits know this peace, the inner confidence of what our spirits see above, which stands far beyond the comprehension of our limited minds of flesh.

Isaiah 27:12-13 (ESV): “In that day from the river Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt the

Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. And

in that day a great trumpet will be blown, [i.e., Jesus’ return and the millennium will occur during the

era of the seventh trumpet.] and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were

driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at

Jerusalem.”

In Isaiah’s day, most of the Jewish Diaspora lived in Assyria and Egypt. But, this prophecy has a world-wide scope. Through Isaiah, God is speaking about gathering the Jews back into Israel from all over the world during the millennium, “in that day,” after the Messiah returns. And it is using the Jews in Egypt and Assyria as an example of how all the Jews on earth will be returned, or it might

also be suggesting that the Jews in Egypt and Assyria will be the first sent back to Israel. But before they return, “the Lord will thresh out the grain.” He will separate the good kernels of grain from the outer husks and straw clinging to them. God’s wrath upon the wicked is likened to the harvest and the threshing, when He removes the non-elect from His elect, and burns that chaff in a place set aside for them. After this threshing, Jesus will come to Jerusalem and begin to gather the Jews of the Diaspora into Israel, gleaning them from the harvested nations of the earth “one by one.” Each individual Jewish person will be called back to Israel from other lands at each one’s appointed time.

Here the translation is a little confusing. But it indicates that God will remove all the straw and chaff from all the nations where His elect Jews live, leaving only the good grain, only the elect with truly valuable core beliefs, knowledge, wisdom and love in their spirits. And, from other prophecies, we also know that the land of Israel which the Messiah shall fill with returning Jews will be the entire land He gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, extending from the Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt. But Jesus will need to bring these of the Diaspora back “one by one” because He will first need to restore the land and provide housing, food and drink for them before they arrive. Yes, He will very quickly cleanse Israel of the wicked and its useless humanistic beliefs, all in one day. But it will take much longer to build up the land and make it ready for millions of immigrants than it does to destroy evil.

Then Jesus will also need to prepare the hearts and lives of His elect Jews in the Diaspora before He brings them back to Israel. For each one will serve as a priest of God in Israel, and must be at least partially taught and trained to do that work before each returns. There will be many reasons for Jesus to glean or gather them into Israel “one by one,” and not all at once. There will not be one massive migration of literally all the Jews on earth into Israel within a short period of time. Rather, it clearly states here that all the elect Jews shall be returned to Israel, but only gradually, “one by one,” over a longer period of time. So, likely within about a decade, the millennium will see literally all the Jews on earth return to their homeland, where all of them will serve as various kinds priests, doing all kinds of works for Jesus, everything from teaching and judging to caring for the needy and the land.

Isaiah 29:18-24 (ESV): “In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of

their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. The meek shall obtain fresh joy in

the Lord, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. For the ruthless

shall come to nothing and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off, who

by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the

gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.

“Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:

‘Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale. For when he sees his
