Enemies of God have always threatened, persecuted and killed His elect Jewish and Gentile children in His true church of Israel. The Satanic slave societies of Assyria attacked the Jews in Isaiah’s time, and killed many, carrying the rest into a permanent captivity. Then Assyria’s humanistic daughter, Babylon, followed by her humanistic daughters of Persia, Greece and Rome, completed that evil work. All these enemies of God exalted and served psychopaths, bowing to them as to gods, then kept their own people in a perpetual state of terrorized subjection. So, after Israel adopted their ways, God handed them over to become the captives of their admired and emulated “friends.” And, once they had fallen under the ruthless power of those vain despots, they seemed to have had a good reason to fear men, just as many Gentile elect in dictatorships do in our day. Yet those evil lands are actually weak and fragmented, barely hanging on to their power. But God’s elect can learn how to become humble servants of one another through God’s counsel, growing into a strong and united people. So, if the elect rejected the lies of those imprisoning kingdoms, and took up the truths of God, the power of God standing behind them would soon give them victory over all their oppressors.
God hears His elect who hear Him, and serves those who serve Him. Then let the elect realize that God’s arm is far more powerful than all the psychopaths of all the evil kingdoms put together. Just as God once crushed Egypt’s great kingdom of enslavers, God can and will destroy any other cruel

oppressive kingdoms for us. But God can only do this to exalt His own true justice, equity and love, and God cannot oppose Himself by exalting any alternative lies and sins, such as the humanistic traditions of fake churches and false synagogues. So, to receive God’s help, we must become “woke” and empathetic towards the downtrodden and the poor, towards immigrants, women without truly faithful men to build moral and spiritual lives with them, and orphans lacking internal structures from good fathers. For, if we want to escape tyranny, then we must escape into God’s kind of just, equitable and responsible kind of freedom which truly loves our siblings in the family of humankind.
The elect must not follow men, only God Himself. Our God Jesus is the only Head of every elect man. And, in Jesus, we must overcome evil with good, primarily with His spiritual weapons, not with violence and the weapons of this world. We must not overcome terrorism with terrorism, through our minds of flesh, but allow our spirits heed the Holy Spirit of the real God, so we might act in wisdom and according to His will. Then God’s own power will overcome evil, according to His complex plans and effective ways that our enemies cannot comprehend nor overcome. For He carries out each detail of His plans in His own creative, unique and powerful ways at His own set and appointed times. This kind of trust in God is saving faith, where an elect spirit trusts in Him to teach His truths, and to also train one’s spirit to do effective works after experiencing some failures.
When I was young, I enjoyed the excitement of protest marches for good causes. It was exciting to be a part of a big and powerful crowd marching in public streets, proclaiming our worldly power as so-called “Christians.” But all that was futile and empty, vanity of the flesh. For I was trusting in the power of numbers, and salvation by man’s own hands, since my churches practiced the religion of humanism, not faith in God. Even then, in my heart, I knew something was not right, but the church taught me to suppress the thoughts of my spirit and trust only in the emotions and thoughts of my flesh. It was only in my later years, in my forties and fifties, that I could no longer ignore the overt hypocrisy of lies and sins, and discovered that true saving faith trusts in our God Jesus to put His truths in our spirits, to teach and train our spirits about His own interpretations of His Word. And that faith trusts in His power to release us from lies and sins, when Satan forces his captives to bow down in abject humiliation before human gods. Only Jesus can save us from destroying our own lives. We must trust in Jesus to make the work of our hands fruitful, so we may can be responsibly free and have bread to eat. Only Jesus can set us on a right path, or make us wise and loving, able to do His works on earth effectively and according His will. There is no salvation in any other name on earth.
Isaiah 54:1-17 (ESV): “‘Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing
and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be
more than the children of her who is married,’ says [Yahweh]. Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your
cords and strengthen your stakes. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and
your offspring will possess [seize] the nations and will people the desolate cities.
“‘Fear not, for you will not be ashamed; be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced; for
you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will
remember [your abandonment] no more. For your Maker is your Husband, [Yahweh] of hosts is
His name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth He is
called. For [Yahweh] has called you like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit, like a wife of
youth when she is cast off, says your God. For a brief moment I deserted you, but with great
compassion I will gather you. In overflowing anger for a moment I hid My face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,’ says [Yahweh], your Redeemer .

“‘This is like the days of Noah to Me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go
over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, and will not rebuke you. For
the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but My steadfast love shall not depart
from you, and My covenant of peace shall not be removed,’ says [Yahweh], who has
compassion on you.
“‘O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of
carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by
[ Yahweh] [see John 6:45], and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness
you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from
terror, for it shall not come near you. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from Me; whoever stirs
up strife with you shall fall because of you. Behold, I have created the smith who blows the
fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to
destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every
tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of [ Yahweh]
and their vindication from Me, declares Yahweh [].’”
Immediately after the prophecy about the “Suffering Servant” (in chapter 53), which describes the death and resurrection of the Messiah at His first advent, this prophecy describes the redemption of God’s servants. So this prophecy (Is. 54:1-17) is about the Messiah’s second advent and His rule during the millennium. Yet this describes God’s people, both the Jews and Gentiles in His church of Israel, as a barren woman who has never born children. But, after Jesus returns, the “children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married.” This means that God will call literally all the elect on earth into His true New Covenant church during the end times, and all will serve as the children of the heavenly Father and as the siblings of their oldest Brother Jesus. Then the more mature true Christians will be like parents to the less mature, serving them for their onw good.
No one is childless when the children of our siblings in the family of humankind exist in this world. For they are our children too, and God gave us the responsibility of providing for them and their parents, so we all might learn how love as He loves, together, as a family. And this doubly applies to the elect children of the Father. Our elect siblings who do not yet consciously know the name of their God Jesus, but are being saved because Jesus is writing His just and loving ways on their spirits in their hearts, are doubly our family members, of us who do now consciously know Jesus. For they are not only in the same family of humankind, but also in the eternal spiritual family of our God’s elect.
In context, when God calls the Jews and Gentiles of His true church of Israel “barren,” He does not mean that Israel failed to become a dominant world power with huge populations, like the Assyrians and their offspring, the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans. For being dominant is repulsive to God, since He Himself is a loving Servant of His creations, with the power to effectively sentence His adversaries to death, but with the patience to teach them first, then allow time for repentance. He has never wanted His church to become a dominant power, bullying the people, forcing souls to bow before human gods, making them pay for the “privilege” of citizenship in a brutal class system. For God wants His servants to serves the people and His creations, as He did from the beginning. His Word has told us: “He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8, WEB). And dominant world powers are never “good,” nor do they “act justly,” “love mercy” or “walk humbly” with God.

It is amazing to see how God has always allowed the most Satanic people to become dominant rulers and form the most powerful nations on earth. And remember, it was God who allowed the earth to give birth to the beast, to the powers of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. God raised up His own worst enemy in all history, then made the fourth Roman kingdom of the beast into the most powerful and influential of all kingdoms in all history. God allowed its religion of humanism to take over the entire world. Now its moral and spiritual corruption has given birth to so many deluded, oppressive peoples and nations that the entire earth has fallen into slavery to Rome. The body of the beast has never been “barren,” but multiplied its offspring exponentially throughout the earth. Now the beast’s evil religious kingdom virtually rules the entire planet. So the one married to Satan has given birth to very many children, while the bride of our God Jesus has no true churches, no children on the earth.
God has ordained that His beloved Bride, His true church of Israel, His awakened elect Jews and Gentiles, would remain “barren” and childless until the end times, just before His return. His true church failed to tear down Satan’s works through his fourth Roman kingdom, so she also utterly failed to build up His just, equitable, loving kingdom on earth and bear children. Throughout history, there has never been a true and faithful church. In our day, it is next to impossible to find even the smallest and weakest true church fellowshipping anywhere on earth. Since that first bright flash of His light on earth, which we call the apostolic church, out God Jesus never allowed His elect to become fruitful and multiply. And this is because she was corrupted by Rome, because she also wanted to become a physically powerful kingdom like Rome. But now that corruption is fading.
Natural Israel, the land of the Jews, has never been a strong, independent nation in the Middle East either, much less a dominant world power. In fact, she was not even a recognized nation until 1948. So neither the elect Jews nor the elect Gentiles have made much progress in acquiring physical power since the days of the Messiah’s first advent, since He died for our iniquities and rose to serve as our only Head Teacher and High Priest through His gift of His Holy Spirit. Of course, God has always preserved elect Jews and Gentiles on earth, and more awakened elect exist now than there were in the first century. Then Jesus has always been sending a tiny minority of awakened elect to influence the world in many good ways, to proclaim His teachings of love, peace, joy, freedom, relief for the needy, compassion, truth and justice, even as the beast’s vast majority has striven to suppress them. Yet our God Jesus has never allowed His elect to form a truly just, biblical, loving Christian nation of any size, nor with any real power and influence. History has only ever seen a few tiny, humble, struggling, weak true churches, all deeply suppressed by ungodly humanistic powers.
Yes, some groups have falsely called themselves “Christian.” But those were all just disguised sub-kingdoms of the beast’s Roman kingdom of the world order, merely kingdoms of theistic humanists falsely claiming to worship God, while actually worshipping human gods. And their hypocrisy has been solidly proven. We know them by their fruits, by their lies and sins, by their trampling of the poor, thefts, fraud, murders and all their other unjust works, all in the service of Satan. They have never glorified God’s name and never were the heart’s desire of the just and loving elect. Rather, they have only slandered the good name of Jesus, chased away the true elect, drew in the loveless non-elect, and served as the world’s greatest evangelists for atheistic secular humanism, even for the beast’s own sect of fascism. Then, since they did not love the truth, God has always handed them over to dark, destructive delusions, proving that those so-called “Christians” are not His property.
But a time of revival is coming, when “the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married.” Then the true awakened elect servants of God will need to “enlarge the place her tent,” because so many elect souls will enter into the true New Covenant church of Jesus the Messiah. This true church “will spread abroad to the right and to the left,” throughout the
Page 1339

world. Then Jesus will return, “and her offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.” The mild and gentle will inherit the earth, the elect Jews in Israel and the Gentile elect in the rest of the world. Then all the elect will be taught by our God Jesus, both through His body of flesh and by His Holy Spirit. This is why He now tells His awakened elect: “Fear not, for you will not be ashamed; be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your [not having a husband] you will not remember no more. For your Maker is your Husband, Yahweh of hosts is His name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth He is called. For Yahweh has called you like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth when she is cast off … For a brief moment I deserted you, but with great compassion I will gather you. In overflowing anger for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you” (Is. 54:4-8, ESV).
So God will never allow His people to create a dominant or “great” humanistic nation, as a part of Satan’s kingdom of the world order. Right now, the nation of Israel has a little power in its region, since God has protected her and caused some Gentile nations to carry her. Also, God has made her a biblical democracy. Yet Israel remains mostly humanistic, even with some fascist elements. Thus, her troubles continue. And the prophecies said this would happen. The final rebuilding of an eternal Israel would be a state that remained apostate until they repented when Jesus returned, after He had gathered all the Gentile elect into her priesthood. So, at this time, Israel does not know how to be strong in God, but still strives to be “strong” in the ways of Satan’s religious kingdom of humanism.
Until Jesus returns to remove Satan and his non-elect, a truly Christian nation is democratic, in that it chooses all its decision-making authorities from those whom God chooses to teach and train, from those who are made able to justly and lovingly serve God’s people and His other creations. And a democratic nation allows freedom of conscience, permits most choices of believers and unbelievers alike, even regarding abortion and sexual orientation. For secular powers must serve the awakened elect, the sleeping elect and the non-elect alike, and can only administer a subset of natural laws to maintain general freedom, order and peace. It must not despotically rule over lives as human gods. A nation may use force against those who threaten the innocent, even deadly force at times. But a truly Christian justice system always seeks first to restore and redeem sinners, whenever possible. It even feeds its subdued enemies. But a biblical democracy never commits the sins of terrorism and murder to obtain a military and political victory which oppresses others. For it must remain just and equally administer justice as well as all God’s earthly properties, loving and serving all that lives on earth.
Only when our God Jesus returns to dethrone Satan and obliterate his evil subject kingdom of the world order, destroying all of that devil’s loveless brood of wanna-be gods, will He personally rule the earth. During the millennium, it will be possible to have a mild, gentle, just, merciful, equatable and loving theocracy ruling the earth, since only the awakened elect will remain on earth. And it is also possible, even in our day, to administer a New Covenant church body as a true theocracy, if Jesus remains the only true Head Teacher and High Priest of every individual man—if that church abandons all humanistic concepts of human gods, hierarchical class systems and other unjust ways.
After the second advent of Jesus, we shall see the true New Covenant church of Israel truly fulfill the Law of God in Jesus. Then she shall bear countless children, as numerous as the shining stars seen in the night sky. The King of the whole earth shall dwell in Israel, and she shall become the one and only “dominant” world power, who will serve the entire population of the earth, not domineer over them. But, until that day, God will not allow any religious kingdom, no theocracy ruling over all the people, to serve Him, but will war against all attempts to establish theocracies as secular ruling authorities. For no humans can be trusted to administer genuine truth and justice in His name. God
Page 1340
Seventh Seal Prophecies
Himself must rule all life on earth, for the good of all. Mortals can never be trusted with power, for no human is able to fully manage his mind and body of flesh in the way our God Jesus does. So no human is able to do God’s will on earth all day and every day. Even if a group of elect men are all counted as equals, but granted the power to rebuke and correct others, that whole group would inevitably fall to the corrupting influence of their flesh and would be deceived by servants of Satan.
Consequently, God will never allow any human soul, nor any council of human souls, to bear any final decision-making authority over other human souls, unless it is truly in His name, by His express command and authority. God alone has always served as the final decision-making authority from the beginning, and He will always remain the only true King and High Priest of all life on earth. Then God’s Law, as God Himself interprets it, the Law He wrote in His creations and in His Word, will always remain the only Law to which all final appeals for justice can be made. For only His interpretation of His Law portrays His just, equitable, loving attributes, and the very image in which all elect human spirits on earth were made. Literally all final decisions in every true church priesthood must always rest in the hands of our God Jesus alone. Likewise, every final decision in every secular governing body also must be based on God’s will and His Law, or else injustice and death will overtake the land, especially after they know His fulfilled New Covenant Law. And God’s Law did not allow for any poverty and inequality in His land, but required the rich to provide for all needs of the poor, so equal opportunities of life could exist. Then God’s Law never required any of the pagans dwelling in the land of Israel to obey their Sabbath or religious laws, but allowed them to practice idolatry, abortions, homosexuality, many other sexual sins. God’s Law was always given only to the church of Israel, and pagans remained exempt from it, unless they converted to Judaism.
Only after Christ’s return, after the destruction of all the unrepentant, and after God gathers literally all the surviving elect on earth into His New Covenant priesthood, will a theocracy rule over all the earth. For only then will a just and loving theocracy be possible. And then His true church of Israel, which is now “barren” and “desolate,” will be granted innumerable “children,” even all the souls remaining on earth. After God’s arm has been bared in plain sight during His end-time judgments of the whole world, and after His wise counsel has been disseminated by His revived true church for all flesh on earth to hear, Israel will be the only “world power,” with Jesus as its King and High Priest.
Yet, until Jesus returns, the elect remain in constant physical peril, so their spirits might seek their God often and learn to trust in Him alone, as their only Lord and Head. And even the most mature elect true elders are not allowed to bear power over the lives of others, not while they live in bodies of unruly flesh. For they are all too infantile, ignorant and weak to handle any real power. If any real progress will be made in working our Father’s will on earth, in the way it is worked in heaven, it will be done through God’s teaching and training of elect spirits, and by elect spirits heeding His clear commands poured into their spirits. Then the elect will also receive His gifts of prophecy and power.
The elect long to effectively destroy the devil’s evil works and kingdom, so they can replace them with God’s loving works and His just kingdom, so they can save the lives of their children. But the elect will only be able to do this if their spirits awake and hear the counsel of our God Jesus, then do their works through His teachings, by His inner and outer works and His power. Then the elect will succeed. For we must realize that all works of evil, destruction and hatred are done by the weak and ignorant, since those kinds of works are a thousand times easier than engineering and building the sound structures of righteousness through love, with security features to keep all safe from attacks. And Jesus is the wise Creator, who alone can design good structures, as well as the most powerful demolition expert in the universe, who can easily strategize the destruction of Satan’s kingdom. So the elect whom Jesus thoroughly educates, guides and empowers, even if they are few in number,
Page 1341
Last Days Timeline
become well able to tear down the devil’s shoddy works and his kingdom built by the ignorant. Then the elect become able to build up God’s just, loving and secure kingdom on earth for their children.
Since evil, destruction and hatred are so easy, any fool can do those works and serve Satan’s world order, gaining his eternally damning rewards of physical power to do more evil destruction through hatred. Dark, empty, ignorant, ruthless souls can easily become the brides of Satan, who are actually unloved and expendable slaves of that demon, but bear many offspring for him. Yet no human power alone—neither autocratic kings or councils nor even hierarchical democracies—can ever build up holy, healing and justly loving kingdoms on this earth, not without the teachings, counsel and power of our God Jesus. To build on a rock-solid foundation of God’s real wisdom and truth, elect spirits need to be taught and trained by Jesus, then empowered to do His true will on earth. The elect must first learn to serve only their God, Yahweh Jesus, so they will be able to build up heaven on earth.
“You will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more. For your Maker is your Husband … the God of the whole earth” (54:4-5). Here the word “widowhood” is a poor translation into English, because the Hebrew word almanuth refers to any woman who lost her male partner through either divorce, abandonment or death. But, in English, a “widow” only refers to a woman whose husband died. And the English does this because Roman law differentiated between a “widow” and wife who was divorced. Roman law also did not call a woman a “widow” if she was a slave or not legally married to the man who abandoned her, after he had conjugal relations with her. But God’s Law considered such a woman to be the man’s wife, and called her a “widow” if he abandoned her. God’s Law is not the pagan Roman Law. So this prophecy is suggesting that both elect Jews and elect Gentiles feel the “shame of their youth,” and know the “reproach” that Satan’s world order has for them. The elect feel bereft of God, as though their Husband abandoned them, since He does not manifest Himself in their presence, does not provide a moral and spiritual structure for them. So she has lost her honor of righteousness before her enemies.
In God’s Law, which manifests His own attributes, a religious or civil ceremony was not required to take a woman as one’s wife. Only an inner covenant, made by both the man and the woman through the spirit’s love, was a true marriage; whether or not any human authorities ratified it, whether or not any official ceremony, paperwork or celebration confirmed the marriage. And God made this kind of a covenant with all the spiritual descendants of Abraham, with all the elect who ever lived on earth. Then literally all the elect will make a loving covenant with God by the end of the judgment day. So God is the Husband of all the Jewish and Gentile elect throughout history, their spiritual guide. And soon our God Jesus will provide all the elect on earth with a perfect and loving moral and spiritual structure for their lives, after He returns to manifest Himself to His beloved New Covenant church.
Then God said this: “This is like the days of Noah to Me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, and will not rebuke you. For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but My steadfast love shall not depart from you, and My covenant of peace shall not be removed” (Is. 54:9-10, ESV). It is obvious that here God is talking about the days of the Messiah’s immutable, “steadfast” and everlasting love for His elect, and how this love will manifest during the millennium of His rule over the earth. And, when Jesus returns, the land of Israel will be the “dominant” world power, but only because our God and King Jesus will rule the earth from that land and through His serving priesthood of Jews in that land. This will occur after He first makes all those elect Jews right in their spirits, able to serve Him and able to fulfill His Law. Each elect Jew will joyfully perform the tasks for which He made them.
Page 1342
Seventh Seal Prophecies
Some older Jewish and Gentile males will become teaching and judging elders, who shall provide good counsel with real wisdom, explaining how to accomplish God’s will. For they will know their God like a wife knows her husband. Just as women are only able to find meaning and joy in their lives by serving within a moral and spiritual structure more solid than their own, in a relationship where their spirits trust and embrace their anchor with fulfilling and loving communications, all the men in Israel and in the world will also find a gratifying, joyful framework and purpose for their lives in Jesus. And Jesus will justly express His deep love for His true church, in a way that He could not do when she walked in her self-willed ways. When His church followed pagan ways, even in Satan’s humanistic nonsense, our God Jesus rebuked her and grew very angry with her. For she committed spiritual adultery with false gods who were not loving. He could not show His favor to her, since that would condone the lying counsel and evil guidance she took up from her lovers, the the false teachings and sins she embraced. So He had to abandon her to her lovers, lest He should be accused of partaking in her lies and sins. But, in the end times, He will revive her. He will help her realize that her lovers hate her and seek her destruction. Then she will repent back to her God Jesus, hear His wise teachings from His Holy Spirit, and entirely love her Husband, who builds up her life.
Since the apostolic church crumbled under the self-exalting humanistic teachings of popular Middle Platonism, nothing but false churches have existed, stumbling back and forth like drunks, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing good, causing only the destruction of the innocent and then themselves. Fake churches took the elect captive, then told them that they served God’s kingdom, as they exclusively served Satan’s kingdom, aiding and abetting Satan’s war against God’s kingdom. At times, God’s Holy Spirit chose to come to a few elect individuals, to teach their spirits a few basic biblical truths, then caused them to proclaim those truths. And this made some elect question their fake churches. Yet questioning them was dangerous. So most of the elect captives of those fake churches continued to serve as abused slaves of Satan, just to survive. Meanwhile, the fake churches kept on telling its captive elect that they were the bride of Christ. So their captive elect willingly made marriage covenants with the head of their churches, with Satan, who used the elect as his unloved slaves. That devil exploited their labors, made them beg even for a few pennies to buy enough scraps to keep themselves alive, and kept them artificially dependent on his “charity.” Satan also beat or even killed them if they dared to beg for respect, truth and love. Yet those loving elect, all who were assigned from birth to be the bride of our God Jesus, kept thinking to themselves, “Tomorrow, my husband will love me.” Yet, after countless tomorrows, that loveless enslaving god of the fake churches, who was never the real husband of those elect, only hated and abused them.
But, when the Jewish and Gentile elect of true New Covenant church of Israel are spiritually restored, and their true Husband rules the entire world, those mild and gentle souls will own the world with Him. For the property of the Husband is also the property of His wife. And Satan, who was never the real husband of those elect, will be cast out, far from the earth. Also, their true husband, Jesus, will utterly destroy that devil’s psychopathic kingdom of the world order, starting with its fake churches. So there will be no liars to deceive and enslave His bride. And this bride will be His priesthood, just as He intended them to be in the beginning, even from the days of Adam and Eve.. The remnant of Jews will be His hosting inner priesthood, and the Gentile priesthood will serve as His outer priesthood, doing His works in all the earth, strengthened by the inner priesthood.
God chose to form the body of His priesthood through Adam. So He told Abraham that his spiritual descendants, that is, the chosen ones among his descendants, the elect, would be a blessing for all the nations on earth. Then, by the third generation, God elected Jacob as the inheritor of His promise to build a nation of priests, then gave Jacob twelve sons and renamed Jacob, calling him Israel. God
Page 1343
Last Days Timeline
elected all twelve of Israel’s sons, in order to create His nation of priests. One of these sons, Judah, would even be the ancestor of God’s human flesh, the Messiah Jesus, as well as the tribe into which our God Jesus would gather all the Gentile spiritual descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Then, when the Messiah and God Jesus came the first time to His priestly nation, He taught them about His fulfilled ways and sent them His Holy Spirit of God, to prepare them for their ministry as His priests.
Thus, by the day Jesus returns, all His elected Gentiles on earth will be prepared to serve as His true priests, and all His elected Jews will be prepared to host them, as a blessing for all nations. The Jews shall become God’s faithful and skilled encouragers, comforters, strengtheners and educators of the rest of the elect, of those who do God’s other works on earth, even serving as hosts of the Gentile teaching and judging elders. But both His elected Jews and His elected Gentiles shall be one bride, one true and indivisible church, without rivalries or jealousies. For each individual elect will be doing precisely what he or she always inwardly longed to do and was destined to do from birth. Each shall joyfully fulfill all the desires of one’s own heart. And the hosting inner priesthood of Jews will help each Gentile find and fulfill one’s destiny, since this is the work of Jesus, and the Jews will be assigned to help Jesus in this work. So the Jewish and Gentile priests will be equal servants of Jesus.
In the past, the fake churches told the elect to follow only the stubborn obstinacy and selfish desires of the flesh, to let the flesh please only itself, with self-inflating lies and destructive sins. And most of the elect believed that lie, living only for that which esteemed and pleased the flesh, thinking that the physical deeds and rituals of the flesh could eternally save itself, while totally ignoring the needs of their own elect spirits. So God could not reason with His bride, and had to withdraw from her, though His deep love for her never ceased. God had to keep His distance from the elect, until they learned that their true inner joy could only be fulfilled by allowing their spirits to hear and serve Him. So, over the past centuries, God expounded upon His truths written in His creations and in His Word. And the spirits of His elect responded to those eternal truths, desiring and accepting them, with a growing dissatisfaction with the carnal, hypocritical, self-contradicting humanistic churches.
More and more, throughout the past centuries, the elect have seen and embraced more and more biblical truths, which are the foundation of God-like love, the basis for an abundant life of loving and being loved. Thus, as the elect see more, they long more for a life in those truths, increasingly desire what is noble, just and of good report. So now the elect are almost at the point where the revival of God’s real and world-wide New Covenant church is possible. And that revival will occur soon, after Jesus destroys the oppressive power of the world order, with world-wide earthquakes and meteors (or meteor-like objects) from the sky striking the earth like bombs. This will happen at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era, which is also the beginning of the end times. Once the elect cast off the selfish ways of the flesh, which neither love nor take responsibility for one’s siblings in the family of humankind, the end times will begin. Jesus will initiate the process of judging the entire earth, to prepare it for His return and the rule of His elect, who serve Him for the good of the earth.
In the end, Jesus will embrace His elect, for His love has never faded, not even for a moment. All His elect are one with Him, as a bride is one with her husband. As the life of His church begins to revolve around her Husband and the works of His kingdom, the elect spirits in her will find true joy in their lives. Everyone in her will be fulfilled and at peace, forgetting the centuries of God’s angry rebukes, and her shame through the loathing of Satan’s children. Through Isaiah, our God Jesus repeatedly told the elect of His true church how He will greatly comfort her during the millennium: “O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony [i.e., the mortar in stone walls will be this silvery metal called antimony], and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of agate, and your gates of carbuncles [any red gemstones, usually garnets], and
Page 1344
Seventh Seal Prophecies
all your wall of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by Yahweh, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and [far] from terror, for it shall not come near you” (Is. 54:11-14, ESV).
Of course, physical buildings during the millennium will not literally be made of precious stones, although they will be beautiful, because the souls who build them will be beautiful, constructed of spiritually precious elements. Still, our lives on earth will last only for a brief moment during the millennium, even if we live for a thousand years or more. And that moment will be just long enough for our infantile spirits to be “taught by Yahweh,” as He promised in His New Covenant. Then those teachings will will bring us and all the generations of our descendants peace, establishing us all in loving, equitable and just righteousness. And, since all opposition from Satan and his offspring will be removed from the earth, none of the elect will know any fear of terrorism and oppression, as long as Jesus rules over them. In Jesus, all will know they cannot die and cannot truly lose any battles.
Because life on earth is so short, no elect soul can ever suffer too long, and all will go to meet their Husband face to face, at heaven’s gate on the judgment day. But a time will come when all the elect will greet their Husband here on earth. All the surviving elect, and many deceased elect brought back to life on earth, will live here with our God in a body of flesh, to work with all the certainty and confidence in Him, in all the truth and love they lacked in previous times. And all their toils will build up the just, loving kingdom of God on earth, with joyful, peaceful, responsible care for all.
In this Messianic prophecy, God reminds Israel and the world of the permanent nature of His Noahic covenant (Gen. 8:21-22), to never again curse and destroy all living creatures whenever mankind becomes evil in all his thoughts. So God compares the permanent and unconditional nature of His Noahic Covenant with His New Covenant promises, which will result in the Messiah’s rule during the millennium, regardless of how evil humans might become, even if they become humanistic fascists like the beast. Here God also promises to refrain from angrily rebuking His church of Israel, both the Jews and Gentiles, for their past sins, even their Satanic lies and sins of humanism. Once they repent from those lies and sins, He will “forget” them, will move on with the building up of their lives in loving righteousness, preparing them for their eternal lives at home in His eternal lands.
God will not continue to condemn His beloved elect for their past repented sins after our God Jesus returns, because He allowed them to commit those sins through their flesh, in order to teach their spirits to more highly value His truths and the freedoms those truths bring to all life. Jesus will focus on the lessons of the future, during the millennium and on the last day at the gates of heaven. He will not focus on the past, but press on towards His goal of salvation for all. As we saw earlier in this book of Isaiah, the reason God will no longer angrily rebuke His elect during the millennium is because He shall be crying out, “Wake! Wake!” to their spirits, so they will learn to do His will on earth as it is done in heaven, for their own good and the good of all life on earth, for their salvation.
God’s New Covenant salvation educates the spirits of His elect. And it is impossible to learn while being condemned, since the mind resists or flees from all that is taught. Teaching becomes totally ineffective through constant condemnation and rebuking. Learning can only make progress if past failures are forgotten, only if the focus turns to future goals and a disciple is encouraged to do so. So, during the millennium, Jesus will not continue to remind either the natural or grafted-in branches of His olive tree of their past hypocrisies, lies and sins, except to illustrate and emphasize the positive aspects of His truths. After Jesus judges the wickedness of the earth in His wrath , He will cease from pouring out His wrath upon the elect Jews and Gentiles in His church, so He might steadfastly teach and train His inheritance. During the entire millennium, He will work a “covenant of peace.”
Page 1345
Last Days Timeline
This “covenant of peace” is the unconditional New Covenant which, like the unconditional Noahic and Abrahamic Covenants, does not depend on the actions of human beings, but solely on the ability of God to keep His immutable promises. For the New Covenant depends entirely upon God’s own works of wisdom and power upon the spirits and souls of His elect. His New Covenant salvation depends on how God created the attributes of elect spirits, by making them in His image, and how He shapes the wills of those spirits through life experiences. Thus, the Messiah’s salvation has nothing to do with the works of supposedly “free wills” that somehow create and shape themselves.
Since God’s power and wisdom cannot fail to teach and train the spirits of His elect Jews and Gentiles, but will always cause them to do His will on earth, to joyfully serve Him as His truly faithful, effective and humble priests, Jesus will always live in perfect peace with His elect. Yet, after a thousand years, Jesus will still see the vestiges of Babylonian and Persian humanism clinging to His elect, the teachings and traditions which glorify humans for the power and skill of their hands. Therefore, our God Jesus will release Satan and to produce non-elect souls on earth, who will all glorify their own strength and skills, then rise up in the rebellion of Gog and Magog, against Jesus and His elect who rebuke them. Thus, when God spoke about the peaceful millennium, He also proclaimed, “If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from Me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh and their vindication from Me” (Is. 54:15-17, ESV). Strife will once more come from Satan, not from our God Jesus. But Jesus will again destroy them, as a clear and blatant reminder that literally all power and skill comes solely from becoming one with Him.
In this prophecy, it tells us what will occur “if” someone might stir up “strife with you” during the millennium. And the Hebrew actually refers to those who “assemble against you.” Now, since this prophecy is about events during the millennium, it alludes to the rebellion of Gog and Magog, after a thousand years of the Messiah’s rule on earth. After Satan is released, he will create non-elect offspring who will “assemble” to war against Jesus and the elect. But Yahweh “created the ravager to destroy” those who war against His elect, in the same way He created the smith to forge weapons. That is, God created Israel and placed Himself in her, to destroy Gog and Magog. So, even with the weapons they invented, Gog and Magog will not succeed in overcoming God’s elect. And the elect will see through the lies of those non-elect rebels, so they “shall refute every tongue that rises against them in judgment.” The elect will not be duped by the deceptions of Satan and his offspring. In fact, the elect will learn from the horrors of Gog and Magog, then reject every trace of selfish ambition and ruthless arrogance related to the kind humanism which still remained in the world from Babylon.
Also remember that, before the Messiah returns and the millennium begins, this prophesied that Israel was destined to be “afflicted ... storm-tossed and not comforted.” In other words, they would suffer from wars, persecutions and other troubles throughout history, until their Messiah returned. And the Jews would not be “comforted” by God, because they would not seek their real God. Rather, Israel would remain falsely religious, just as they were in Isaiah’s day, when they began to syncretize the traditions of Assyria with the traditions taught by God in His Word. And their afflictions would continue from the same source, later from Babylon in Assyria, then from Babylon’s offspring of Persia, Greece and Rome. Of course, Isaiah wrote down these words of God in about 700 BC. Yet it certainly has proved true, since Israel remains humanistic and apostate to this day, 2700 years later. And the Jews have always fought wars and experienced persecutions from the offspring of Assyria.
Page 1346
Seventh Seal Prophecies
Yet, clearly, this prophecy describes how God will bless the Jews, His natural Israel, during the millennium of their Messiah’s rule. And there never has been a time when His natural branches of Israel have existed in a state like that which God describes here, during the millennium. But soon that millennium shall begin. Then all of His church of Israel, all elect Gentiles and all elect Jews, all whom God allows to remain alive for the millennium, will be taught directly by God Himself, both by His Holy Spirit in their hearts and by the body of Jesus in their midst, in whom the creating Spirit of Yahweh dwells. For, since the mind of a spirit is the only part of any human being which is able to love and practice righteousness or justice, God’s Spirit is the the only Spirit able to directly and personally teach His ways to human spirits. So the millennium will be the only time on earth when literally all the elect, including all of the elect physical descendants of Jacob, will be taught by God.
So, although a few elect have seen some effects and results of God’s Holy Spirit working in them and also through them since the days of the Messiah’s first advent, the millennium will be the only time we shall see the final earthly results or effects of God’s unconditional “covenant of peace.” Then, during the judgment day, the last day with linear time, we will see the completion of God’s promises in that New Covenant, the perfection of His works in our spirits. And it is solely due to the works of God in our elect spirits that we can be freed from all oppression and fear, so we might live without any of God’s wrath or “condemnation.” Only when we no longer “walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit,” only after Jesus’ Holy Spirit teaches and trains our spirits, after our spirits learn to heed His counsel, will we truly be able to live in “peace” with God, and with our siblings in the family of God, even with all His other living creations on the earth and in heaven.
Because God cannot fail to complete His promised works of His New Covenant in literally all the elect who ever existed, all will be justified by God, allowed to walk freely in His kingdoms. For, although all the elect have sinned, our God Jesus provided a just and sufficient sacrifice on the cross to pay for all our repented sins of the flesh. Then He will cause literally all elect spirits to repent from all their sins, after He teaches us the truth on the judgment day. So our spirits will permanently repent into the whole truth, and we will be fully justified, free from all the accusations of Satan, the great Accuser, able to serve beside our serving God in the lands of our sinless home, in His spiritual realm. All this is inevitable. For, although we are now bound to linear time, to experience the slow progress of a process flowing from the past to the future, both the past and future already exist. So our salvation and justification, to be set free in His holy heaven, have already been fully completed.
However, neither the Jewish elect nor the Gentile elect will receive all these promised blessings of His New Covenant salvation until Jesus completes the teaching and training of our spirits on the final linear day, until the end of the judgment day at the gates of heaven. In the meantime, we will receive many of these blessings during our short and troubled lives on earth before then, even during our suffering during the end times. Then some elect will see many more of these blessings when Jesus returns to rule the earth. And there will be a time of trouble even after the millennium, when Satan is released to seed the earth with non-elect human spirits again, and cause the rebellion of Gog and Magog. But even that hardship will be a time of teaching and training for the elect, and He will cause the smith to produce weapons against them and create the ravager to destroy them. For He will prepare His elect, teach them to see how pride cannot possibly ever work any good. Pride always covets more for itself, and destroy others to get it, even in perfectly restored world where there is more than enough for all to live peaceful, joyful, fulfilled and abundant lives. Then, after the wars caused by Gog and Magog, the earth will exist for a time. But all the examples and illustrations of earthly life will be completed. Therefore, the material universe will end, and the final day will begin.
Page 1347
Last Days Timeline
Consequently, the church of Israel, both the natural and grafted-in branches, must not fear. After all, our God in Jesus cannot fail to eternally save us all from every lie and sin, then wake all our spirits in our permanent home of the spiritual realm, at the gates of heaven. God can destroy all His enemies, all who war against us. And He will both destroy them all, then eternally separate them from us forever, in their inescapable prison of hell, but only at the appointed times, after they have served to fully illustrate how their loveless ways are not His loving ways, for the education of His elect children. God shall never allow Satan and his brood to establish a permanent kingdom on earth or in heaven. And they are incapable of doing so, because their desire to be their own gods keeps them divided and factious. And their weapons can only kill bodies and minds of flesh, not the eternal spirits of the elect. Furthermore, the heavenly Father will always preserve a remnant of elect souls on the earth, but Satan’s loveless non-elect will not always be here, not even one during the millennium.
All those plotters against God and His people, all the non-elect destroyers of life, will fall to the dust of the earth, then their spirits will spend an eternity plagued by the darkness of their own cherished lies and delusions. But all of the heavenly Father’s elect children—whose wills of their spirits are being taught and trained by Him to love in the just way that He loves, and builds a foundation of genuine and pure truth in them, so they will no longer be manipulated by Satan—will possess their inheritance from the Father. “‘This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh and their vindication from Me,’ declares Yahweh.’” Both the natural and grafted-in branches in His church of Israel will receive overflowing inner joy, some while living on earth, then literally all of His elect, after He gathers them at the gates of heaven. For God promised this in His unconditional covenant, which cannot be undone by any created entities, and never will be broken by our immutable, almighty God.
Isaiah 55:1-13 (ESV): “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no
money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which
does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich
food. Incline your ear, and come to Me; hear, that your soul may live ; and I will make with
you an everlasting covenant, My steadfast, sure love for David . Behold, I made Him a
witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you shall call a
nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of
[Yahweh] your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.
“Seek [ Yahweh] while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked
forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to [ Yahweh] , that
He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares [Yahweh]. For
as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My
thoughts than your thoughts.
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the
earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so
shall My word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it
shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of
the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall
make a name for [Yahweh], an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

Seventh Seal Prophecies
This is once again speaking about the time when God comes down, in a body of flesh, to rule over all His earthly properties. It is about the millennium, after our God and Messiah returns. And, after He comes, He will rule the earth in the same way He has always ruled it, from the beginning. For He has always freely granted food and drink to all life, always provided everything that all humans and all life needs. All we ever had to do was go out to freely receive it from wherever God put it, or else gather our food sources into one place, then let God’s providence grow it there. Only recently did Satan actually invent money, to enable his non-elect children to enslave their siblings, so the wicked could their financial control over all resources to force their siblings to work for them, to provide self-indulgent luxuries for them. After their siblings did the work of finding, growing and processing all that was needed, those selfish souls used their financial systems to falsely claim that all of it belonged to them, not to God, who is the only rightful Owner. And their siblings believed this lie, then did all their works to provide for the whims of their oppressors. Yet those enslaved siblings had to live solely upon the scraps cast off by those psychopaths. Then Satan streamlined this insane and exploitative system, into what we now call the religion of humanism, and took over the whole earth.
But, after our God Jesus returns, there will be no financial systems, nor any of the hierarchical class systems ruled by worshiped elite exploiters according to the traditions of Satan’s humanistic religion. When Jesus returns, He will judge the world, and find every nation guilty of slander, thefts, sexual exploitation, murder and idolatry, where most of those crimes will be related to humanistic financial systems. So He will cast Satan into hell and slaughter all his loveless non-elect who practiced those lies and sins. Then only the loving awakened elect will remain alive on earth. And they will all be taught and trained to rejoice in the works of their hands, to highly value the lessons of life which their works teach them, as they labor beside and form deep bonds with their siblings. Therefore, all the food, drink and other necessities of life will be found, grown and processed by the elect on God’s restored earth. And all that those elect gather or produce will be justly and equitably distributed to all their siblings, according to the unique needs of each individual, as well as for the needs of all other living entities. All will come to distribution places to “buy … without money and without price.”
Many so-called “Christians” hate this truth, and refuse to believe it. Some even lie and say that, since God “gave” all the earth to humans, humans now “own” all, and God no longer owns any of it. Thus, some humans can legally cheat and steal from their siblings, or plunder their siblings in murderous wars, to “justly” gain a great excess for themselves, while their siblings starve and die. They despise the true biblical doctrines of stewardship, which portray all humans, and all that exists, as the sole property of God, where every living creature must use God’s property solely for God’s loving, wise and just purposes. In fact, some even say it is impossible to maintain any societies without Satan’s invention of money. But they onlly believe this lie through their greed and loveless minds of flesh. For they know nothing about working solely for the joys of labor and sharing life with co-workers. Nor do they ever experience the satisfaction of taking only what one needs for one’s health and to do the gratifying works of one’s hands, in order to fulfill one’s destiny in God. Those loveless souls all somehow think that no one would to any work if they were not bribed with money, or beaten until they were forced to do it. And they actually dream that they somehow earned their riches, while their enslaved workers did not earn nearly as much. In fact, they are so blind that they value all life and all things in terms of money alone. So they all will be eternally tormented in hell by that dark delusion.
We can be certain that our God Jesus will remove all of Satan’s financial systems from the earth when He returns, and no money will be used throughout all the years of the millennium. For this is how He designed all human and animal societies to function in the beginning, and His immutable laws of loving justice and equity will never allow Satan’s invention of financial systems to exist after
Page 1349
Last Days Timeline
He returns to rule the earth. God simply provides all that humankind and the creatures of the entire earth need, so each individual can fulfill one’s own destiny. All just societies of the past, until humanism spread throughout the world, would see some gather and process whatever their whole community needed, then share it with all. And this left others with the time to do other works for their people, the older ones to serve as teachers, counsellors and guides, and others to serve as healers, artists, musicians, singers, story tellers and so on. In fact, this biblical system is still found in some places on earth, in religious communities, isolated tribes and in societies formed by animals.
God’s system of “buying” without money, together with His balanced justice systems and His other laws, always produced peaceful, contented, happy, gentle and fulfilling societies, who only fight wars to defend themselves or to save the innocent, never through greed nor the lies of worshiped human gods. And, since the beginning of time, there have always been some elect groups who have followed God’s laws and ways, because their spirits were able to study His laws and ways written in His spiritual and physical creations, or in His Word. The loving elect have always bee able to find abundant life in joy, even while the curse of Satan and his offspring dwelt on earth to enslave and kill them. But, also since the beginning, evil groups developed financial systems, using everything from sea shells to gold as currency, to keep the wicked in power, by providing them with the means to control other people. This is why Jesus blatantly declared, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money” (Mat. 6:24, ESV). Here our God Jesus equated money with Satan and the Satanic financial systems of Roman humanism. God freely gives and forgives, because He loves unconditionally. But loveless Satan never forgives, then demands a ruthless penalty from all who fail to earn his conditional favors and rewards. Thus, God’s Old Covenant Law has always been interpreted in two basic ways, in a loving way by His elect, but in a harsh way by the non-elect. For God gave His Law as a test, which divides His loving children from the devil’s loveless offspring.
All socialist, communist and capitalist institutions are economic systems, and all are sects of the same demonic religion, Roman humanism. For, in all these economic systems, a small minority of elite wanna-be human gods serve Satan in hierarchical class systems, and utilize money to exert control over their people, to herd their people into the lower classes. Throughout the world today, all these systems train their people to serve money as their second highest god, to worship money just a little less than they worship Satan and his puppet human gods. So, clearly, the utterly ruthless demon Mammon is one of Satan’s highest ranking officials. For Mammon effectively employs poverty to slander and utterly dehumanize those delegated to lower classes, while applying lies through wealth to delude his master’s cherished psychopathic offspring into thinking they should be worshiped as gods. Mammon is truly the god of merciless selfish ambition, destruction, oppression and murder.
But God’s system for the distribution of all goods and services, which literally all belong to God, never requires the use of any money. For the loving awakened elect, the ruthless incentive of money can easily be completely replaced with the incentive of gaining fulfilling inner rewards, by lovingly serving God, which is done by lovingly serving His people and His other creations. Then, for the loveless non-elect, Satan’s reward of wealth can be replaced by the threat of becoming accountable for their words and actions, which will prevent them from being deluded into thinking they are gods. In the meantime, literally all the good works done in any society can be done through exactly the same technologies and tools, but in a way which does not steal from the workers or from God’s creations, in a way that justly and equitably provides for all the people, while benefitting nature too.
Until Jesus returns, the elect must dwell with the citizens of Satan’s world order. So the elect are forced to interact with the devil’s financial systems. However, God’s faithful servants can use
Page 1350
Seventh Seal Prophecies
Satan’s invention of money to buy and sell in ways that approximate God’s just and equitable distribution of goods and services, to help the needy and care for nature in the same way they will during the millennium of Jesus’ rule on earth. God’s elect can do this because the earth still belongs to God and God’s kingdom is still the only ruling kingdom that exists. Meanwhile, Satan’s kingdom of the world order is actually a temporary subject kingdom, allowed to exist only for a brief time and ruled by chained and highly limited demonic spirits. Satan likes to lie, and portray himself and his weak, factious kingdom as all-powerful. But the fact remains that God alone is sovereign over all.
God’s kingdom, with its just and loving laws, still exists on earth, despite the fact that every nation on earth has been conquered by Satan’s fourth humanistic empire of Rome, despite the fact that the vast majority worships human gods and trusts in totally irrational and oppressive hierarchical class systems. For the power of Satan’s lies have been eroding throughout history, as God’s truths have been gaining ground. And soon, during end times, God’s wrath will utterly destroy Satan’s kingdom and our Messiah Jesus shall return. Then we will see the millennium and an indeterminate amount of time after that, where literally all nations will be ruled by Him. Yet, during the entire millennium, money will not exist, except possibly in museums. Then each individual will be freely given all that is needed for all aspects of life—good sustenance, clothing and shelter; all the tools, equipment and other requirements for all one’s beneficial works; everything necessary to provide hospitality and godly recreation for friends and family; as well as all else. Each will fulfill all of one’s own God-given desires of the heart in joy, limited only by time. And wanna-be human gods will not force choices and dictate the path of one’s life and love through the use of money, by the threat of poverty.
Ever since Satan created monetary systems, his children have been duped into thinking they must have money to buy foolish, totally useless things, into believing they could not live without that garbage. Yet all those worthless things were mere distractions, helping them cope with the reality that they had become abused slaves of even more enslaved human gods, of those who most willingly and ruthlessly served Satan. All are fooled into thinking those trinkets are superior substitutions for the responsible freedoms they would receive in God’s wise, just, equitable, loving system of family governance. In every place where Mammon has been esteemed, God’s loving and truly beneficial principles of responsible love have been replaced by ruthless, empty, destructive delusions, lies and distractions from reality. Now literally all societies are founded upon humanistic economic systems.
Since all lives are dictated and governed by money, all lives are all manipulated and ruled by a psychopathic elite minority in hierarchical class systems. Monarchies, dictatorships, oligarchies and democracies, and their financial systems such as capitalism, socialism, communism or fascism, have all adopted the most Satanic religion in the world, the religion of God’s worst enemy in all history, the religion of the four kingdoms of the beast. All are humanists, and most are Roman humanists.
But, when Jesus returns, He will crush the religion of humanism into dust and blow it away with the fresh, sweet breath of His good teachings. Jesus will replace the financial incentives and rewards of Satan’s unjust and enslaving world order with deeper and more compelling incentives, through His education of His elect, who will be the only humans left on earth. For Jesus will teach His elect to pursue the desires of their spirits, the inherent longings that He wove into minds of their spirits when He created them, and to follow their inner wills which He had shaped in their spirits from birth. Then money will be utterly worthless in every land on earth, and gold will be used only for pragmatic purposes, such as an inert coating to protect metals from rust or as a good conductor in electronics. The foundation for the distribution of goods and services in every land will become Christ-like love.
Page 1351
Last Days Timeline
Before Jesus sets His feet on the Mount of Olives, He will utterly nullify all humanistic kinds of faith in His elect. And He will do this by revealing Himself and many of His creations to each of their souls, turning their faith towards Him and His Father in heaven. Jesus will cleanse the world of false churches before His arrival. And He will even cause the hands of the secular Roman beast to burn the theistic Roman mother of all false churches, since she rode on that beast’s back, seeking the rewards of his world order. From the initial plagues of the sixth seal’s era until the day of His return, the Holy Spirit of Jesus will radiate His light into the hearts of His inwardly dull, poorly taught elect, teaching them how to love. And, as His elect receive His true salvation, they will abandon the false churches and flee into His revived true church. Before Jesus descends, He will remove all the unrepentant, self-serving human gods from all pulpits and eliminate all the hypocritical humanistic unrepentant souls who served and esteemed those human gods. Jesus will return to the earth at His appointed time, after making His elect ready, after they can serve in righteousness through God-like love, the kind of love built on a foundation of knowledge, on a wise understanding of His real truths.
Jesus will fulfill all of God’s Old Covenant Law in and through His elect, by teaching and training them to do the positive aspects of His negative commandments, and by walking in the realities of His symbolic laws. That is, when His elect see His command, “You shall not murder,” they will keep themselves from murdering their siblings in the family of humankind, either by violence or by criminal negligence. But His elect will also fulfill that law by building up life in their siblings, and by preventing them from being murdered. Then, because God’s Law forbids them to wear garments made of cloth woven from two different kinds of fibers, the elect will know that God cares nothing about physical clothing. So the elect will truly fulfill this law by not developing their lives and works based on the worship of multiple gods nor the teachings of those gods. They will not be hypocrites, but remain faithful to their one God. More than this, they will fulfill His greater laws: by making all their decisions according to God’s will, so they will have no other God but God; by esteeming and serving only God, and never inventing idols to worship; by allowing their elect spirits to heed the voice of God’s Holy Spirit and by rebuking those who abuse God’s name by teaching or prophesying lies in His name; and by doing none of their works through selfish ambition but doing all their works for God’s purposes, so their spirits can truly enter the eternal and priestly Sabbath rest of their God.
During the end times, before His return, our Messiah Jesus will begin to fulfill His promise of salvation for all His Jewish and Gentile elect in the entire world, by starting to write His fulfilled Law on their hearts and in their minds. For Jesus told us that His Gospel of salvation will be preached everywhere on earth by the end times. Then this prophecy through Isaiah also alludes to the world-wide scope of His salvation, since it prophesied this about the Messiah: “Behold, I made Him a witness to the peoples, a Leader and Commander for the peoples. Behold, you [Jews in Israel] shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and [because] of the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you” (Is. 55:4-5, ESV). When it speaks about “the peoples” here, it refers to the Gentiles, even in nations that Israel did not know back in Isaiah’s day, nations which also did not know Israel, nor about their Creator God who raised up Israel to become His priesthood who would serve them. Even to those unknown Gentile nations, the Messiah will be a “witness,” “Leader” and “Commander,” because of Yahweh.
During His first advent, Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of His New Covenant salvation, which He gave to all the Jewish and Gentile elect of the world, because our Good Shepherd came to save both His “flock” of elect in Israel and also the “other sheep which are not of this fold,” that is, to save all elect Gentiles who “will hear His voice” (John 10:16). For His Gospel was to be preached to every corner of the earth by the time He returned (Mat. 24:14; Rev. 14:6). Then, just after His first advent, He
Page 1352
Seventh Seal Prophecies
gave His Holy Spirit to elect Jews and Gentiles, to counsel, teach and train their spirits for salvation, to make them able to fulfill His Law. Thus, our God Jesus was “a witness to the peoples.” Then, at His second advent, Jesus will come to be the High Priest and King “for the peoples,” the “Leader and Commander” of the Gentile elect for their benefit, bringing peace to all nations, saving all from lies and sins, shepherding them all into a loving abundant life. He will fulfill His New Covenant in them and through them. For the promises of His eternal Abrahamic and New Covenants were for the good of all the elect on earth, worked through the Messiah Jesus and His chosen priesthood of Israel.
God has already made this “everlasting covenant,” His New Covenant, with Israel and with the Gentile elect whom He gathered into Judah. It is fully ratified and can be worked in us even now. God is already working this covenant’s promise of salvation in all His elect, and consciously among some of His elect since the Pentecost, since 49 days after Jesus died on the cross at His first advent. So the elect can begin the process of their salvation now, even before Jesus returns and before the millennium begins. We should not forget this. Today, if our elect spirits “listen diligently” to Jesus’ Holy Spirit—if our spirits consume the freely granted food of truth from our Teacher who wrote the Scriptures, and drink in the free concepts which He pours into the minds of our spirits—we can live abundant lives on earth. For our God Yahweh, who dwells in Jesus, did not put any time limitations on His offer when He promised us: “Incline your ear, and come to Me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, My steadfast, sure love for David” (55:3, ESV).
God’s love for David, the king in ancient Israel, was indeed “steadfast” and “sure,” immutable and certain. God did not abandon the mortal king named David, even after he committed murder and adultery. Rather, God forgave David and kept on teaching his spirit the truth, as soon as David truly repented. Likewise, God’s love is steadfast and sure for literally all His elect spirits, although all sin.
But here, in this prophecy made a couple hundred years after the flesh of David died, the name of “David” referred to the Messiah, to the Savior which the prophecies equated with Yahweh the God and Creator of all existence, because God is a Spirit who would dwelt in a body of flesh descended from David the king. And God’s love for the Messiah Jesus is steadfast and sure in a way we cannot even comprehend, since the omnipotent Creator God must continuously love Himself, because any hatred of Himself would destroy Himself and all His creations. And, to love Himself, God must keep Himself utterly holy and sinless, completely honest and faithful, regarding all He says and does.
When this prophecy through Isaiah proclaimed that God made David “a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples,” it refereed to the future Messiah, a descendant of David, and clearly not to the deceased king of Israel called David. And this prophecy’s proclamation came with a reference to the “everlasting” New Covenant, which was be fulfilled through the Messiah’s first advent as a “Witness” to His elect, and through His glorious second advent, as the “Leader” and “Commander” of all Jews and Gentiles in His true church of Israel. Then this covenant’s salvation will only be entirely completed to perfection during the judgment day at the gates of heaven. So His elect will not see all the aspects of its promised salvation during their earthly lives. However, this New Covenant’s salvation and all its other promises are being fulfilled even now, and will be utterly completed by our God Jesus in His appointed time through His “steadfast” and “sure” love for His elect. Also, the longest earthly time that any individual elect soul has ever had to wait for it to be fulfilled to completion and perfection is an extremely short earthly lifetime. Thus, the complete and perfect fulfilling of all God’s New Covenant promises is always soon for every individual elect soul.
Therefore, “Seek Yahweh while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to Yahweh, that He may have

compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Is. 55:6-9, ESV). From the beginning of earthly time, God has always called His elect and reasoned with them in this same way. For His elect children have always strayed from Him, ignored Him, and each has chosen to follow one’s own utterly foolish thoughts and ways. Consequently, the elect have always destroyed their own earthly lives, and always ended up becoming abused slaves in Satan’s kingdom.
In Isaiah’s day and throughout history, to this very day, the weak and factious kingdom of Satan has taken captive and oppressed elect souls, although the elect have always been potentially very much stronger than the non-elect. For Satan and his non-elect brood employ lies and terrorism to keep the elect divided and in fear, to make the elect ineffective and unable to resist them. But, if the elect did unite and allow God to empower them in spirit, mind and body, those elect would always overcome Satan’s lying despots and murdering wanna-be gods, as well as all their non-elect minions. For the selfish and self-worshiping non-elect are only willing to serve the elite puppets Satan chose to rule over them, when those dictators pay them with carnal rewards. Thus, although the number of non-elect might equal or exceed the number of elect, the elect always have a distinct advantage over the non-elect. For the elect can potentially work together, as with one mind and for one purpose, through their love for one another. But it is impossible for the loveless non-elect to ever truly unite under any kind of leader or commander. Yet the problem with the elect is that they do not unite under Yahweh.
From the beginning, Satan and his non-elect have taught the elect to suppress their spirits, so their spirits will not hear the Holy Spirit of their Creator and Father. And this keeps the elect divided. For they tell the elect to chase after lies and delusions, to seek fulfillment outside of God’s thoughts and ways, which is impossible. So the elect always fall into sins which separate them from God. And the greatest and most disabling lie of Satan and his non-elect offspring is the doctrine that God must be worshiped through words and deeds from the mind and body of flesh. This false teaching prevents any communications between the mind of the spirit and the mind of flesh in the chamber of the soul. For the elect are taught that the voice of their spirits is merely a worthless “feeling,” especially when their spirits receive concepts directly from the Spirit of God. Satan keeps the elect from ever learning to discern between the feelings and emotions in the mind of flesh and communications from their own spirits to their minds of flesh in the chambers of their souls. They teach the elect to ignore the warnings and questions from the minds of their own spirits, as well as the truths being taught to their elect spirits by God. So the elect learn to walk entirely according to the flesh, in empty, futile lives, in thoughts and ways which are not inherently gratifying to their spirits created in God’s own image.
However, if God’s Spirit calls an elect spirit, and that elect spirit wakes up and does not resist the Holy Spirit of God, if that elect spirit questions and reasons with God’s Spirit until the reality of truth is found, then progress can be made. And that elect spirit will find that God is also calling many other elect spirits just like itself, countless other beautiful and brilliant elect spirits who each have something unique to contribute to God’s earthly kingdom. If all these elect spirits cooperate with God, God will enable, unite and empower them to overcome all obstacles and enemies. Those elect spirits will also realize that all the interpretations of God’s Law and His Word by Satan and his non-elect offspring are horribly wrong and unjust, the opposite of teaching from the real Yahweh God in Jesus, who is actually just, equitable and faithfully loving, wise and responsible for all that is truly good on earth and in heaven. Therefore, it is always beneficial for an elect spirit to respond to the calling of God, to “seek Yahweh while He may be found,” and to “call upon Him while He is near.”

Seventh Seal Prophecies
If the elect will allow their spirits to ask questions of God, and listen for His answers, if they will honestly reason with with His Holy Spirit and accept the spiritual and physical realities He reveals to the minds of their spirits, they will admit that many of their thoughts were based on the lies and delusions of the non-elect and that many of their ways were harmful sins. Then their spirits will react with godly sorrow, regretting the damage they did to others and themselves, and repent into the truths and realities exposed by God’s counsel. And they will strive to right the wrongs they have done, to restore the losses they have caused, to bear fruits of repentance. They will “return to Yahweh, that He may have compassion” on them, that He might “abundantly pardon” their lies and sins, that He might teach and train their spirits to do His loving will on earth as it is done in heaven.
These saving works of God for His elect children have been witnessed on earth throughout history, in various degrees and capacities, in some elect more than in others. But literally all these saving works of God will be completed in all His elect, even to perfection, by the end of the last day at the gates of heaven. For God never fails to complete whatever He begins. If the almighty, all-knowing Creator declares that anything shall be done according His will, it will be done wholly and exactly as He wills it to be done. Through Isaiah, God declared: “For as the rain and the snow come down from [the sky] and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Is. 55: 10-11, ESV). God’s “word” for His beloved elect is not His wrath which holds back the rain and snow to bring a killing drought; not His wrath which sends so much rain and snow that floods wash away the life-giving topsoil and destroy all living creatures and their homes in the land. Rather, His “word” for His elect children brings exactly enough refreshing rain and snow to “bring forth” life and “sprout” the crops in His earthly kingdom. Likewise, His words of the New Covenant promise of salvation “shall not return to Him empty, but accomplish” the salvation He predestined and purposed for literally all His elect before earthly time had begun. His salvation will “succeed.”
After the great revival of His true New Covenant church during the sixth seal’s era, and after our God Jesus judges the earth through the end-time plagues, He will come to Jerusalem as the infallible Teacher of truth, as the High Priest of all His elect Jews and Gentiles. He will also become the only Lawmaker and King on earth, and stay on earth for more than a millennium, until He chooses to remove the earth and the material universe from the perceptions of all spirits. And all the elect will experience their promised New Covenant salvation more fully than any other elect have up to that time. This is why God made the following promise to His elect, regarding the millennium after the Messiah’s second advent: “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall make a name for Yahweh, and everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” (Is. 55:12-13, ESV).
All awakened elect spirits, all who have loved and personally heard the counsel of the real God, have also, at times, witnessed “the mountains and hills … break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field … clap their hands” in ecstasy. For all living creations are kept alive by sinless spirits which see and hear God, and all inanimate entities are watched over by holy servants of God, whom we call angels, who also see and hear God’s Spirit. So, whenever those other spirits hear God send words of salvation to His beloved children, they cannot help but celebrate. For they see the elect spirits of humans as their future helpers and closest companions, as the very images of God. And our human elect spirits sense those other spirits celebrating. That is, the beauty of God’s natural creations is entirely spiritual. Thus, elect human spirits can see and hear those other spirits rejoice, and become
Page 1355
Last Days Timeline
more acutely aware of their beauty when those other spirits rejoice. Then, when all the elect have been awakened, taught and trained during the millennium, those other spirits will never cease their songs of joy and the clapping of their hands with that music. Elect spirits will become constantly aware of the beauty of nature, and never again sense nature’s wrath against their repented iniquities.
All the elect will “go out” into nature and the whole world “in joy,” as their High Priest and King will lead them “forth in peace.” All the elect shall possess grateful and gratified souls which know no conflict with God, nor with their siblings in the family of humankind, nor with any of the other spirits who faithfully serve God. And our God, our heavenly Father and our oldest Brother Jesus, will restore the earth for His elect, after He removes the human “thorns” and “briers” which had once impeded the progress of their salvation. Then even the evil works of those “thorns” and “briers” will bear good fruit too, since their words and deeds will become useful illustrations and examples of how deviations from the truth can cause much harm or even deaths. All this will become clear to the elect, to all who had previously trusted the non-elect who loved only their own lies and delusions, who were unable to see or hear realities or truths. Jesus’s teachings as their High Priest and loving King on earth during the millennium will surely “make a name for Yahweh, and everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.” Never again will Satan and his non-elect deceive the elect into believing God is unjust, weak, foolish, irrational, a creator of chaos or any other lies, which actually describe them and their father from hell. During the millennium, the elect will see, hear and personally know the real God in Jesus. Until the material universe ends, the elect will see that He is truly loving, wise, perfectly just, the Creator of all the ways that produce abundant life, and that His name is glorious.
All the surviving Gentiles of the millennium will be elect souls, and establish truly just and loving Christian nations throughout the entire earth. Then the natural branches of Israel shall all be elect souls too, and glorified by Jesus, since they were chosen to serve Him most directly, as inner priests ministering to the rest of His Gentile priesthood, equal but hosting and providing for the needs of His Gentile priests. Jesus will also teach, train and send out some older Jewish and Gentile men to serve as teaching and judging elders in His name. So the judiciary and law enforcement systems will be based on biblical principles, laws and truths directly taught by our God Jesus, as His interpretations of His own words. So this will be the only time in history when a God-approved theocracy will be possible. For it will be the only time in history when literally every soul on earth will be an elect soul and a member of God’s true church, as well as the only time in history when non-elect souls do not exist on earth. Even ancient Israel, in the days of David, was not a true theocracy. For Israel had to have a secular king as well as a separate high priest. Then the secular king could only subject Israel’s pagan Gentile populations and immigrants to a very limited set of natural laws. Israel’s king could never impose any religious laws, such as Sabbath laws or laws of sexual morality, upon the pagans.
And notice that, even after the return of Jesus, the true church will not be entirely pure, not entirely free from all lies and sins. For elect souls will only be completed to perfections after they shed their mortal flesh, after they dwell in new spiritual bodies at the gates of heaven. We know this because, after a thousand years, Jesus will need to further purify the elect in His world-wide theocracy, as with fire. To do this, Jesus will once more release Satan on the earth, and allow him to create the armies of Gog and Magog. The non-elect in these armies will use false teachings, likely the doctrines of ancient Babylonian humanism, to oppose Jesus and His elect in a violent rebellion. It will only last a few decades but, since Jesus will do this to teach His elect about the toxicity of some kind of pervasive lie circulating among them, we know His church will not be perfect even after a thousand years. If Jesus must purge His church of lies at that time, we know His church and the world will not be flawless during the millennium. Then, after His elect learn the lessons which this tragic event will
Page 1356
Seventh Seal Prophecies
teach them, and abandon the last remnants of humanism, Jesus will cast Satan into hell again, and destroy the non-elect of Gog and Magog. Then His loving and additionally purified elect on earth will live in joy until the earth ends. But they will only be completed and perfected at heaven’s gates.
Since the religion of most churches, synagogues and nations today is humanism, whatever their teachers falsely claim to be true, moral and just becomes the law or the policies of their institutions. Then some of these humanistic institutions even attempt to establish theocracies in their lands, based on the humanistic lies of their false teachers. And all those theocracies are hierarchical governments where the people must serve and esteem worshiped human gods as their heads. So those theocracies are actually Satanic, merely sects of the devil’s fourth Roman kingdom. All those unjust theocracies actually hate and war against the real God Jesus, then categorically refuse to allow our God Jesus to be the only Head of every man. Most also slander, persecute or even try to murder anyone who has been truly sent by God to speak His real truth. So the elect must know this and reject all their lies.
However, by the day the millennium begins, Jesus will have already awakened and revived all the elect on earth, and Jesus will have already killed all the non-elect, after Satan had also awakened all non-elect spirits as well, to make them all murderous and ruthless. So the elect who survive to dwell with Jesus during the millennium will all know the principal biblical truths required to establish a true, just, loving theocracy by the time Jesus returns. And the survivors of the end times will no longer be hindered by the lies and sins of Satan and his non-elect brood. Furthermore, our God Jesus will have returned in His body of flesh, to not only become the King of the earth, but also the High Priest of all the earth, both at the same time. So the law-making King and the Teacher of biblical truths to the willing spirits of all the elect will be the one and only Head of each man. Therefore, as mentioned, the millennium will be the only time in earth’s history when a true, biblical theocracy will be possible. And Jesus will rule the entire world through only one loving theocratic government.
During the millennium, Jesus will send Jewish and Gentile priestly elders to administer all His just, equitable and loving laws within all nations. And they shall do this strictly in His name, that is, only according to His commands and His will. So, if there is any doubt about a ruling that their King and High Priest desires, those elders will differ the matter to a higher court and ultimately to Jesus Himself. In this way, all nations on earth shall fulfill God’s own interpretations of His own Law in the fear of God, that is, with a deep and abiding respect for the rightness and wisdom of our God Jesus. And do not forget that God, through Abraham, created natural Israel to serve as His priests for all nations, for all the Gentile elect. So the Jews in Israel will provide all the logistics necessary for the administration of this world-wide theocracy, all the information, buildings, hospitality and so on.
But in these troubled times and during the killing plagues of the end times, our elect spirits need to heed this prophecy’s exhortation: “Seek Yahweh while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to Yahweh that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Is. 55:6-7, ESV). Throughout history, and especially after the first advent of our God Jesus, this command has stood as a reminder that He will judge the earth very soon. He will come in what will seem to be a brief moment after our very short lives on earth end, and within the lives of the generation which will see the beginning of the end times. And those end times will begin immediately after this current era of the fifth seal. For our own good, each must seek our Creator and Designer, while His Spirit is calling our spirits to repent into all He teaches us. For each of us must be ready for our own personal days of judgment. For the elect who are not ready, who refuse to allow their spirits to hear His Spirit, will suffer needless internal loss and pain, and forfeit much of the fulfilling joy they could have had.
Page 1357
Last Days Timeline
If elect spirits continuously turn away from the Holy Spirit of Jesus, and only heed the demonic ruler of the world order, a time will come when God’s Spirit will no longer contend with those stubborn elect spirits. A time will come when His Spirit will temporarily withdraw from those elect spirits and refuse to hear their corrupted cries for help. Instead, Jesus will send them to Satan for the deluding of their minds, which will result in the destruction of their flesh. For, if He cannot correct those elect while they live in flesh, He certainly will be able to correct them on the final judgment day, when their spirits cannot help but hear His voice. If the elect willfully remain in lies and sins on earth, if they worship human gods and seek only Satan’s carnal rewards by worshiping their own flesh, then God will destroy their flesh. And, after their flesh dies, our God Jesus will cleanse their elect spirits with the consuming fires of His rebukes at the gates of heaven. And His rebukes will be far more painful than anything those awakened spirits could ever have experienced on earth. For those elect will then be able to see, hear and feel all the concrete realities of God’s creations, and will not be able to ignore those truths, like their minds of flesh did on earth. So it is far better to allow our spirits to hear and heed the calling of His Holy Spirit now, while we live on earth. It is even better to suffer the death of our flesh for His truths, to be persecuted for nullifying Satan’s works and building up His loving kingdom on earth, than it would be to suffer His rebukes on the last day at heaven’s gates.
Right now, this very hour, our spirits can be taught and trained to serve our God Jesus and His creations. But, during our lives on earth, His wrath will continue to delude and destroy, leaving only a dark and empty life for all, if His elect children refuse to hear His calling. Life will go from bad to worse, if the elect do not stand upon His revealed truths, to nullify Satan’s works and build up God’s just, equitable, loving kingdom on earth. But, if our elect spirits heed His calling while He is near, He will surely answer our righteous cries for Him to do His will on earth, and He will teach and train our spirits, so we can fulfill His ways of just love. Our God Jesus will gradually turn our spirits away from lies and sins, so we do repent into the truth. He will restore right thinking to the far more solid and rational minds of our spirits, even until the God-like love of our spirits begins to wisely manage the thoughts in our souls and the actions of our flesh. Then we will will rest in His pardon, in the Sabbath of His forgiveness for our lies and sins, in a completely restored relationship with Him. This is the Gospel of our salvation, the news about the Messiah’s New Covenant promises. This is what Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead to make effective for all the past and future elect. And Jesus saved all during that one event because all past and future earthly times exist at the same time.
Throughout history, Jews, Roman Catholics and other churches somehow believed that God’s thoughts were like their thoughts, and God’s ways were like their cruel, unjust, vindictive ways. So they invented many ridiculous teachings, rituals and sacraments in their vile delusions, thinking their pagan-like physical deeds could appease, manipulate and control the actions of a heavenly god, whom they also invented in their own deluded minds. But, by doing all this, they deeply offended the real Creator God and incurred His wrath. So the real God handed them over to even greater delusions, for the destruction and death of their flesh. The human gods of those fake churches and their governments, as well as everyone they touched, suffered a worse darkness and more deaths.
Now it is time to realized that God’s thoughts and ways are not the same as the thoughts and ways of our simplistic, falsely assuming, irrational, weak, biased, self-serving minds of flesh. All God’s thoughts and ways are extremely complex, with countless consistent principles all harmonized to account for infinite possibilities. All God’s thoughts and ways are utterly wise and truly rational. Furthermore, God is a Spirit, so all His thoughts and ways can only be approximated figuratively by a mind of flesh. Thus, it is completely impossible for brains of flesh to truly comprehend God’s thoughts and ways. Only the minds of our spirits can eventually learn to truly understand some of
Page 1358
Seventh Seal Prophecies
God’s thoughts and ways, as our infantile spirits mature over time. After all, elect spirits were created in God’s image, with minds like His mind. But our spirits need to be taught directly by our heavenly Father and oldest Brother Jesus, since only He knows His own thoughts and ways. Only God can make our spirits mature enough to even begin to comprehend His thoughts and ways. So let the elect stop using our rotting minds of flesh to add carnally appeasing thoughts to God’s Word, and stop deleting the truly wise and spiritual parts of God’s Word which offend our flesh. Our arrogant flesh might feel helpless and dependent if we allow only our elect spirits to learn God’s thoughts and ways. But this is good, since our humbled flesh will then allow our spirits to manage it, as our true High Priest and Teacher counsels our spirits, and as our only true King commands our elect spirits.
It is always best to let the real Holy Spirit of God personally and directly teach our spirits about His Word and train our spirits to fulfill His just, equitable and loving ways. For God cannot teach our minds of flesh much of anything. This is because literally everything ultimately has an eternal spiritual purpose and foundation, which the flesh can never truly comprehend. Although God’s core attributes of His justly loving Spirit are not written solely in His spiritual creations, but in His material creations too, all the truths revealed in His material creations are figurative and symbolic. And a mind of flesh can only receive perceptions of those physical figures and symbols, not the spiritual truths they represent. So a mind of flesh takes its perceptions of those physical figures and symbols into the chamber of the soul, where the mind of the spirit can receive and interpret them.
But the flesh itself cannot fully comprehend those interpretations by the spirit, and can only express them in figurative and allegorical language. Also, the mind of flesh will soon forget or distort those perceptions and their interpretations. Only the spirit indelibly remembers them and their meanings. Thus, those who walk only according to their flesh cannot possibly serve Jesus and certainly cannot become teachers of God’s elect, since they cannot even begin to interpret His revelations in His creations and in His Word. Then, since even the most spiritually awake and well-taught disciples of Jesus cannot possibly achieve the completion and perfection of His teaching until they cast off their interfering flesh and until the end of the judgment day, not even His truly appointed elders can become our Head Teachers and take us as their own personal disciples, not while living on the earth.
We need the truly beneficial and just teachings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit given directly to our spirits, which are useful for all we do in life, for all we do is ultimately for eternal spiritual purposes. Yet thoughts, ways, laws and practices of the flesh often cause harm and death, and all are ultimately worthless. Then all that comes from the flesh alone is eventually forgotten and passes away. But all spiritual principles taught by God remain true and useful forever, and will never be forgotten by either God or our spirits. So it is the spiritual worth of physical things that make them valuable and timeless, how those things relate to God-like love built on a foundation of truths or a search for truth.
If we look at the human creations we call art, or the outward adornment of our own bodies, we see some works that are true and meaningful representations of God’s truths and realities. Yet others are merely superficial and poorly understood copies of another spirit’s representations of discovered real truths, and some that are even symbols of outright spiritual lies and delusions. Then liars often use this art to cover up their evil or superficial ways. The wealthy purchase buildings, clothing, furniture and other forms of art, created by spiritually aware souls, to make their own loveless, exploitative, empty and dark lives appear more deep and spiritual. And, by doing this, they not only fool most others into esteeming and valuing them, but they even deceive themselves into thinking they are good people and worthy of praise. But all the eloquent rhetoric, beautiful buildings, fine clothing, ornate trinkets, emotional music and other forms of art only hide spiritual realities. And the elect need to actually find the real spiritual love and truths, which can only come from Jesus’ Holy Spirit.
Page 1359
Last Days Timeline
Our God Jesus is the ultimate source of all the best timeless and spiritually informing art, whether it is a painting, a sculpture, music, dance, written or spoken words, a design of clothing or buildings, or anything else. And all that art is for the elect to see and hear, so their spirits can interpret its meaning. Likewise, the art of God’s physical creations in nature figuratively crafts a spiritual story of both good and evil, granting His eternal and timeless truths to elect spirits. And all this art, all that was created by God or by spiritually awake humans, is God’s gift to His elect, whose spirits are able to comprehend spiritual messages, which they call beauty. No real art was was meant for the wealthy to collect and display as a form of deception, to cover up their own spiritual deficiencies, lies and sins.
However, what the elect need most is the source. Our greatest necessity in life is our God Jesus. We need His Holy Spirit to develop a personal, caring, teaching and loving relationship with our eternal elect spirits, because all that is spiritual is far more real and permanent than our temporary material perceptions. If our spirits truly know and love Him, we will begin to see and interpret the art of His creations and the art of other spiritually awake humans better and more clearly. Then we shall not be fooled as easily by those who use art to deceive us, to gain false respect and esteem for themselves, to convince us that we should worship them instead of our God Jesus. Then we will walk according to our spirits, as our spirits hear and heed His Holy Spirit. Then we can learn to love in the same way our God Jesus loves, justly, equitably and wisely, in responsible ways that benefit all His creations.
When our God Jesus came to us the first time in a body of flesh, He did not come adorned with the art of human beings, although He is the only source of all true art, the Creator of nature as well as all good works by the spirits and hands of His mortal siblings. Rather, Jesus came as a Teacher of the art of true love, of all that is good in faith and abundant life. Jesus had no artistically designed palaces and clothing, no intricately crafted jewelry or ornate forms of transportation, nothing outwardly impressive. Rather, He dressed in common clothing, had no jewelry, then walked out into the fields from His ordinary home in Capernaum, to freely share His truths and wisdom with His impoverished siblings. And, when He received gifts from His siblings, He and His true disciples took only what was necessary for their sustenance and works, then freely gave the rest away to strangers who could never repay them in any way. Jesus did not try to deceive anyone with superficial displays designed to artificially create respect and esteem for Himself. But all He gave us was honest, pure and deeply gratifying to our souls, beautiful in ways that only our elect spirits could see, hear and comprehend.
Now let loving elect spirits turn away from the deceiving art of the wanna-be gods in Satan’s world order, and look to our God, so we might hear His words. Many false churches like to quote parts of this passage from Isaiah, and believe God’s Word shall accomplish all they desire, not all God desires, and make all their selfish ambitions succeed within the devil’s ruthless and unjust kingdom. But, actually, God was saying almost the exact opposite. Our God was telling us to repent from worldly thoughts and ways, to allow our spirits to hear and heed His teachings of His Holy Spirit, so we might begin to live just, modest, loving lives. Then He will ensure that everyone has enough for all their needs, enough to fulfill all the just desires of their hearts, so all might live abundant lives.
None of the true words out of the mouth of our God Jesus shall return to Him empty, but invariably accomplish all that He purposes and succeed in the things He sent those words to produce, all within His own appointed times. His words become the realities He wills to occur for the good of His elect, not what the supposed “free wills” of infantile, foolish, wanna-be human gods desire. God’s words work love, justice, joy and peace in the lives of His elect, and He freely grants all this equally to all.
The words that the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus gave to the prophets and apostles build up the lives of the loving elect, and even make the lives of the non-elect less self-destructive. His words bear all
Page 1360
Seventh Seal Prophecies
the fruits of His own Spirit, in and through the spirits of His elect. History repeatedly proves that, whenever souls practice the loving principles of God, even if they do not consciously know that those truths originated from Him, they will bear good fruits for themselves and all God’s creations. Even the elect who have never heard or read the Bible often bear the good fruits of God’s Spirit and accomplish His purposes. For many elect do God’s will “by nature,” since His words were “written on their hearts by God,” causing their inner consciences to testify about the verity of His word in the Bible, causing their spirits to either accuse or excuse their own thoughts and behaviors (Rom. 2:11-16). Even the elect who have never heard of the God of the Bible can develop a deep and personal relationship with Him, their Creator, and find joy and peace in Him, for their salvation in His name. Throughout history, God’s Word has “made a name for Yahweh” in the spirits of His elect, a very good name. The effectiveness of His revealed truths are an everlasting sign that our God truly lives.
Isaiah 60:1-22 (ESV): “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of [Yahweh] has
risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples;
but [Yahweh] will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you. And nations [i.e.,
Gentiles] shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes
all around, and see; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from
afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip. Then you shall see and be radiant; your
heart shall thrill and exult , because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the
wealth of the nations shall come to you.
“A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian [northwest Saudi Arabia]
and Ephah [south of the Dead Sea]; all those from Sheba [Yemen] shall come. They shall bring
gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of [Yahweh]. All the flocks of
Kedar [Arabia] shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth [northern Arabia] shall minister to
you; they [the Gentiles] shall come up with acceptance on My altar, and I will beautify My
beautiful house. Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows? For the
coastlands [i.e., ‘coastlands’ or ‘islands’ refer to far-off lands] shall hope for Me [During the millennium,
all the nations of the world will worship Jesus and place their hope in Him, as their God.], the ships of
Tarshish [possibly a city on the southern coast of Turkey] first, to bring your children from afar, their
silver and gold with them, for the name of [Yahweh] your God, and for the Holy One of
Israel, because He has made you beautiful.
“Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I
struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy on you. Your gates shall be open continually
[indicating there shall be no threat to Israel after Jesus returns, and they shall have no enemies left alive in the
world]; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the
nations, with their kings led in procession. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you
shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste. The glory of Lebanon shall come to
you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of My sanctuary [Here is another
reference to the existence of God’s temple in Jerusalem during the time of the millennium.] , and I will make
the place of My feet glorious. [These ‘feet’ of Yahweh imply that He will come to His Jerusalem temple in
His human body of Jesus.] The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you,
and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of
[Yahweh], the Zion [Jerusalem] of the Holy One of Israel.
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you
majestic forever, a joy from age to age. You shall suck the milk of nations; you shall nurse at
the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, [Yahweh], am your Savior and your Redeemer,

the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring
silver; instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and
your taskmasters righteousness. Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or
destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light;
but [Yahweh] will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall
no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for [Yahweh] will be your everlasting
light, and your days of mourning shall be ended. Your people shall all be righteous; they shall
possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I might be
glorified. The least one shall become a clan, and the smallest one a mighty nation; I am
[Yahweh]; in its time I will hasten it.”
Once again, through Isaiah, God speaks about the millennium, which is why the book of Isaiah has become a favorite part of the Scriptures for many Jews and Christians. Here God tells His elect that, after at time of darkness covering the earth and a “thick darkness” over the peoples, Yahweh will arise over the earth and come upon Israel. His light will shine and His glory “will be seen” by Israel and the world. Then Gentiles from all nations will come to that light in Jerusalem, even all “kings” or decision-making authorities “to the brightness” of Israel’s rising into the light of Yahweh Jesus.
Previously, in Isaiah 59:21, God spoke about the the millennium after the second advent of the Messiah to Israel. Here God continues to describe the second coming of the Messiah, but calls that Messiah by the name He gave to Himself, by the name of Yahweh. And Yahweh the Messiah will come with darkness, with destroying vengeance against the deliberate injustice of the wicked. Yet, after that, He will bring great light, with many blessings for the elect physical descendants of Jacob, for the natural branches of His church of Israel, as well as for elect Gentiles in all nations on earth.
When Isaiah prophesies about a “thick darkness” over the “peoples,” it would be the same darkness that John prophesied about in the Revelation. Remember how John wrote that, during the era of the seventh seal and within the time of the seventh trumpet, from the days of God’s fifth bowl of wrath until the day Jesus returns, darkness will cover the beast’s Roman kingdom, Israel and parts of the Mediterranean basin (Rev. 16:10-11). This will likely be the effects of meteoric dust or some other “natural” phenomenon which God appointed for that time. Yet this physical darkness will also symbolize the darkness of all the human souls Jesus will remove from the earth, as well as the inner spiritual darkness and great anxiety which will surely fall upon the doomed non-elect, as they see God’s plagues killing them and destroying in their lands. Even Israel will be in darkness as they watch the beast’s armies gathering around Jerusalem to destroy them. Then Jesus will arrive with great glory bringing His bright spiritual light with Him. And He will restore physical light to their land too. Our God will physically appear to the Jews in Israel, in Jesus’ body, to save the loving and repentant elect among them, and to save all His elect disciples from all nations throughout the world.
In context, the pronoun “you” must refer to the Jews, since this prophecy differentiates them from the “nations” and “peoples,” who are the Gentiles. So the Jews, who will all return to their land of Israel after their Messiah returns, will all receive the spiritual light of God, the eternal principles of life and faith that He has always taught to His priesthood of elect Jews. And this light will be bright, drawing all the elect Gentiles to them, so they too can learn from Yahweh, the Messiah. For Jesus’ Holy Spirit will fill the hearts and souls of all Jews remaining on earth. All the elect Jews who survive the end times will be the Father’s and Jesus’ true Israel, whom He designed for His service as His inner priesthood of His universal New Covenant church. And all these physical descendants of Jacob will find complete fulfillment and joy in life, by serving God in ways they were born to do.
Page 1362
Seventh Seal Prophecies
It is clear here that some Jews, but not all, will be living in the land of Israel before Jesus returns. For this prophecy once again refers to a Jewish elect remnant living in Israel on the day Yahweh, as the Messiah, comes to them, after the end-time plagues, after the “thick darkness.” And Yahweh tells this Israel: “Lift up your eyes all around, and see; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip” (Is. 60:4, ESV). So Jesus will gather the entire Jewish Diaspora into Israel after His return. All Jewish people, all Jacob’s sons and daughters will be seen by the elect remnant of Jews in Israel. Then, together, all will see Yahweh in the body of Jesus “and be radiant. So their God tells them all, “Your heart shall thrill and exult, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you” (60:5, ESV). And this “wealth” will not be money, but actual goods and services to meet all their needs and to do all their works for God.
When Israel’s “heart shall thrill and exult,” it refers to internal joy of the spirit in serving God and His creations as each individual fulfills one’s own inherent destiny. This is not about the carnal arrogance which some call “rejoicing,” not the satisfaction of gaining power and wealth in Satan’s world order, as some seem to think it will be. The “abundance of the sea” refers to the gifts that far-off nations send to their God Jesus and Israel by ship, all that might be needed for their livelihoods and their priestly services, so they can minister to the world in Christ’s name, according to His will. For the Hebrew word translated as “wealth” (khahyil) means “strength and resources.” So, in the context of all these spiritual blessings from the coming of Yahweh, who is a Spirit in the body of Jesus, it does not refer to self-indulgent wealth involving money to control and exploit other siblings.
Now remember how God revealed truths about the Jewish Messiah to the Magi, who were Gentile priests of a pagan religion. So the Magi must have been elect Gentiles. And once they knew about the Messiah’s advent, they sacrificed much of their time, effort and resources to make a dangerous journey, simply to see the recently born Child who would become their Savior, although the flesh of Jesus could do nothing for them (Mat. 2:1-12). And they brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, to indicate His kingship, His role as the High Priest and His future sacrificial death for their iniquities. So these gifts indicated that God had revealed much about the Messiah to those pagan Magi, since their gifts expressed their faith in what God’s Spirit revealed to their spirits, including God’s Messianic prophecies through Isaiah. For their gift of myrrh, an embalming fragrance, seemed to indicate that they knew that the Messiah would be the “suffering Servant” which Isaiah’s book described (in chapter 53). But also notice how these gifts helped Joseph and Mary pay for their flight into Egypt, so they could save the life of Jesus. For they had to escape from the insane selfish ambitions of Herod, who wanted to murder the infant Heir to the throne of David, the true King of Israel, so he could keep that throne for himself. So these gifts of the Magi, which came through the works of God in those Magi, served both spiritual and practical purposes. Likewise, the gifts of the Gentile nations at the second advent of Jesus will do the same. For life on earth is ultimately for spiritual purposes, and gifts that maintain life on earth also maintain the works of God in our spirits.
This prophecy about the millennium after Jesus returns also says: “A multitude of camels shall cover [the land of Israel], the young camels of Midian and Ephrah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of Yahweh” (Is. 60:6, ESV). So the people of the Middle East, those living in the Arabian Peninsula and beyond, will bring gold and frankincense, two of the same gifts that the Magi brought to Jesus at His first advent. And they will choose these gifts for the same reason, to acknowledge and express their faith in Jesus as their King and High Priest. Those people will also bring “good news,” which will be the “praises of Yahweh,” that is, their good opinion of the Messiah Jesus, whose life-giving Spirit is Yahweh, God’s uncreated Spirit dwelling in His body of flesh among us. This “good news” will their rejoicing in the
Page 1363
Last Days Timeline
New Covenant salvation of Jesus, being brought into the priesthood of Israel. It also says they will come on camels, which suggests that they will want a long, slow journey, so they might have time to fellowship with one another, to talk with one another and develop lasting friendships as they rejoice in the return of Jesus. And gold or expensive incense will hold no worldly value for them any longer, except as spiritual symbols of Jesus’ kingship and His role as their teaching and judging High Priest.
Then, through Isaiah, God also tells Israel, “All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on My altar, and I will beautify My beautiful house” (Is. 60:7, ESV). Of course, God’s “beautiful house” with an “altar” is the temple in Jerusalem. So here we see yet another reference to a third temple in Jerusalem in the end times, existing at the moment Jesus returns and remaining during the millennium. In the temple grounds, sacrifices at the altar and the feasts upon those sacrifices shall be held. And these sacrifices will remind both the elect Jews and the elect Gentiles, whom our God Jesus shall welcome “with acceptance,” of Jesus’ works upon the cross, that death is the wage of sin, but His sacrifice paid for the lies and sins of their flesh, to restore the close relationship of their spirits with His Holy Spirit. The times they rejoice in this fellowship will also remind them of all works of God in their own personal lives and throughout history. And the tribes of Gentiles near Israel’s borders will provide many sheep for those sacrifices in the temple during the millennium, “with acceptance” from our God Jesus. In this way, their “rams … shall minister” to the Jews, and He will “beautify” His temple.
God will make the hearts of all the surviving elect beautiful, filled with love and overflowing with joy, through their faithful service for Him, for one another and for the rest of His creations. Jesus will inwardly fill us all with His light, and will even make our physical lands into a pleasant, loving and peaceful places as well. But this can only be done by the works of our God Jesus, by His works of teaching and training of our elect spirits. And we do not see many of His works today, although He has always done some of these works in His elect since the beginning of time. For, in our day, literally all synagogues, churches and mosques practice the traditions of Satan’s religion, humanism. So their spirits resist Jesus’ Holy Spirit. All are trying to make themselves superficially beautiful, instead of looking to Jesus for His inner works that make them spiritually beautiful. And it is utterly impossible for anyone to make oneself inwardly beautiful, through a fictional Platonic “free will.”
Our God’s one and only promise of salvation was that He Himself would write His Law on our hearts and in our minds, that He Himself would make us truly loving in a just and responsible way, so we could be truly beautiful in the eyes of His Spirit. And this promise was only made in His New Covenant, which replaced His temporary Old Covenant, since He made no promise of eternal salvation in that Old Covenant. For nothing but His own infallible works can make His eternal salvation effective. And the only reason He made that ineffective, temporary Old Covenant was to prove to His church of Israel that they need their heavenly Father and oldest Brother Jesus for inner beautification, that they cannot possibly make themselves truly loving, just, equitable and beautiful in His eyes. God spent 4,000 years proving this to the Jews, and 2,000 years proving it to the Gentile elect. But now that God has conclusively proved this, He will will come to save both the Jewish and Gentile elect. Soon He will revive His true Israel and return, to fulfill His infallible New Covenant promise, to make all His elect beautiful enough to dwell with Him in their heavenly home forever.
God carefully watches and strives to correct the thoughts and deeds of His own children, and also limits the selfish and wicked words and deeds of the loveless non-elect. Thus, throughout history, whenever God’s priesthood of Israel sinned, God handed them over to the very people they chose to emulate and join in sin. After Israel sinned by partaking in Assyrian and Babylonian traditions and ruthless exploitations, God made Assyria and Babylon powerful, then incited them to physically kill
Page 1364
Seventh Seal Prophecies
and take captive His people of Israel, although He continued to work in the hearts of His elect. Then, after Jesus formed His New Covenant church, they too soon fell. They also emulated and joined the enemies of God, even Satan’s prime religion of secular humanists with their vile worship of man. So God handed that church over to the beast’s Roman religious kingdom of secular humanism, and they become even more deluded and foolish than the secular humanists, although God still worked in His elect even then. But now it is time for His elect to once again trust in Jesus’ New Covenant salvation.
During the end times, all the ignorant, dishonest, unjust and filthy thoughts and ways of the evil and idolatrous humanistic church, every inclination to worship humans in hierarchical class systems, will be purged from all elect souls. But the last shall be first. First Jesus will purify the Gentile elect, whom He brought last into His church of Israel, whom He gathered into His new priestly tribe of Judah, the tribe of our High Priest’s body of flesh, the tribe of David and Jesus. Then, after He has brought in all His elect Gentiles, He will save the Jews. On the very day of His return, His first and most inner priesthood of the Jews will be brought into His New Covenant church. Then the last will be first again, and will serve as the inner priesthood of our God Jesus. In the mercy of His unmerited grace, the Messiah will then favor His people, all the Jewish and Gentile elect throughout the world.
After the millennium begins, justice, equity, peace and love will fill every part of the world. All peoples and all lands, but especially Israel, will be beautiful. All this will be accomplished in only one generation, who shall receive the compilation of all truth from two thousand years of teaching and preparation. During the end times, Jesus will recover His earthly kingdom, by sending His Holy Spirit to teach and train elect spirits about His ways of righteousness, so they might do His works through just and equitable love. Jesus will revive His true church. Then our God Jesus will nullify the works of Satan when He appears, by removing that devil and his loveless non-elect children from the earth. And, after Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, all the Jews of the world will see how and why they will be redeemed. As God told them: “For the [distant lands] shall hope for Me, the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because He has made you beautiful. Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy on you” (Is. 60:9-10, ESV). Yahweh in Jesus will be the beauty of Israel. Then the remaining ships of region will go out to bring all the Jews of the Diaspora back to their land and to Jesus. Since only elect Gentiles will remain on earth, the peoples of all lands will rejoice in that day and rebuild the beauty of Israel with the Jews, for the glory of their wise, just and loving Redeemer.
Now look at the next two verses of this prophecy. Then consider how Jews of the past, in Isaiah’s day, would close the gates of their towns and cities at night, then post guards to keep out enemies and criminals. They also shut the gates on Sabbath days, from sundown on Fridays to sundown on Saturdays. And they could do no work for selfish ambition or for worldly purposes on a Sabbath day, especially not for Satan’s invention of money. In fact, none could even handle money on a Sabbath day. On a Sabbath, Jews could only do works exclusively for God, for others, and for His creations.
But, by the beginning of the millennium, Jesus will have removed all enemies and criminals, and He will cause all His elect to do every work exclusively for Him and His creations. Also, money will no longer exist on earth. So God will command Israel: “Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that the people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste” (Is. 60:11-12, ESV). Before the millennium even begins, Jesus will destroy all the peoples who side with the beast, all that hate Israel. Then “kings,” all decision-making authorities, will be chosen by Him before His people choose them. So all will be humble and
Page 1365
Last Days Timeline
dedicated servants of their people, led by the inner priesthood that directly serves our God Jesus. The “wealth of the nations” will also be real goods and services for God and the people, not mere money. The “wealth” of kings and kingdoms will be healthy foods and helpful skills given by their people.
“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane and the pine, to beautify the place of My sanctuary, and I will make the place of My feet glorious” (Is. 60:13, ESV). Actually, Lebanon will be under the jurisdiction of greater Israel during the millennium, and Jews will live there with the Gentile population, all ruled by their King and High Priest, Jesus. And notice how this says that the “feet” of Yahweh, the God of Israel, will walk in Israel and in their “sanctuary” or temple. But the whole of Yahweh will come to Israel, as the Messiah. He will not simply figuratively rest His “feet” in their land and in their temple. God will walk in Israel and in the temple, in Jesus’ body of human flesh. When this prophecy speaks about God’s “feet” in Israel, it means: (1) the physical body of God in the Messiah Jesus shall come to Israel; (2) the third temple period will begin before Jesus returns, but Jesus will remodel and beautify that temple during the millennium, even with the warm colors of natural wooden beams and walls; and (3) beauty is important to God, since it is spiritual.
Of course, the Roman Catholics and some of their harlot daughter churches insist that this last clause about the feet of Yahweh is entirely figurative. Those Platonists do not believe that the physical body of Jesus will return to Israel, but think their humanistic and materialistic popes and “priests” will rule the entire earth. Yet we have all seen what happens when those kinds of Roman humanists rule in a fake theocracy over the people. It resulted in terrorism and deaths, in the wars of Crusades and the tortures of the inquisition, in the total oppression and exploitation of the peoples. All Roman lands end up like this. However, this prophecy is counters this. It says that Yahweh, the one God and Creator of heaven and the universe, will dwell with us in a body of human flesh. Our God Jesus will set His own physical feet down on the ground in the physical land of Israel. God’s feet will walk in the physical temple and physical city of Jerusalem, among His inner priesthood of Jews in the land.
The whole of Yahweh—our Father, oldest Brother and Creator—will dwell in Jerusalem, which will be called “the City of Yahweh.” And notice how God prophesied through Isaiah that the Gentiles would afflict and despise the Jews, during the entire time before He returned in His glory. Since the days of the Messiah’s first advent, Satan’s Roman beast has been antisemitic. But not all the elect believed the lies of the beast. And God has always blessed those who blessed His natural branches of the church of Israel, while He has always cursed those who dishonored the Jews. God has always kept His promise to Abraham’s descendants (Gen. 12:3), in His appointed times and in His own ways. All the racist and antisemitic people of history were handed over to dark delusions for the destruction of their flesh, whenever they have harmed the elect Jewish or Gentile children of God.
Then our God Jesus will judge the entire world and everyone in it. And He will kill His enemies, all those who murdered His elect of Israel and persecuted His just, loving elect Gentiles which spoke against the unjust terrorism and persecutions done by those non-elect. But, if the children of those evil and loveless ones repent from the lies and sins of their fathers, Jesus will judge each individual and will not kill those children. For God does not condemn children for the sins of their parents, if those children turn away from those sins when they come of age. For this prophecy declares to the Israel of the millennium: “The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of Yahweh, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age” (Is. 60:14-15, ESV). Here the term “sons” is gender indefinite and includes “daughters.” So some children of “those who afflicted” God’s elect will worship Yahweh in the Messiah Jesus, and deeply respect His inner priesthood of Jews. These
Page 1366
Seventh Seal Prophecies
repentant Gentiles will recognize that the Jewish city of Jerusalem is “the City of Yahweh, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.” God will teach and train all Jews to be holy and eternally “majestic,” not only while on earth, but forever in heaven as well. So the elect on earth will receive His eternal joy.
By the way, the repetition of certain time indicators in this prophecy, such as “forever” and “from age to age,” are a literary device which assures us that God actually means literally forever. Most often, these words and phrases are not just indicating a long time, but eternity. They assure us that God’s promise to restore and bless Israel will be completed and will never be undone, not ever. Even after God destroys the physical universe, the elect Jews will be majestic in the eternal heaven above.
All the nations of the earth will abundantly support the ministry of their God Jesus and His inner priesthood of Israel during the millennium. For He declared this to Israel: “You shall suck the milk of nations; you shall nurse at the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze; instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness. Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise” (Is. 60:16-18, ESV). Like a mother with a new-born infant, all rulers on earth will ensure that they provide for all the needs of Jesus and Israel, since they will highly value the works done by Israel.
During the millennium, both the flesh and the spirits of all Jews will personally know Jesus. While their Messiah rules from Jerusalem, their communion with Him, in the New Covenant of His fulfilled Law, they will work justice and peace in the world through their priesthood, through their Jewish elders, overseers and authorities appointed by Jesus. Just, pure, God-like love in their hearts will produce true righteousness in their works for Jesus. Each shall serve the just and loving will of Yahweh because Jesus will teach and train their spirits to love Him, to remain faithful to His own intended interpretations and purposes of His words in His Law and the other Scriptures. No longer will Jesus allow any to interpret His words through their minds of flesh, in the way most have falsely interpreted those truths. As a consequence of Israel applying these fulfilled interpretations, Jesus will guard their gates and homes. All violence, devastation and destruction will be forgotten. He who never sleeps and bears all power will keep them safe. He will become their salvation and their praise.
After Jesus returns, the beauty of sunlight will be surpassed by His eternal spiritual light. For all will walk according to all that their spirits see and hear from Him, not according to their flesh. So He tells Israel: “The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended” (Is. 60:19-20, ESV). Of course, during the millennium, the physical sun will still exist and shine in the day, to enable the works of the flesh. And the moon will continue to wax and wane in cycles of about 28 days. But elect spirits in Israel and the whole earth will express their love for God and His creations through the works of their flesh. So even the light of their physical works on earth will be the labors of their spirits in the joyful spiritual light of God.
Jews will no longer live by the thoughts of their minds of flesh, nor do all their works solely for the the praise of other human beings, and will not regulate their lives by the lights of the physical sun and physical moon. Instead, they will walk according to their spirits, as their spirits submit to the concepts which the Holy Spirit pours directly into the minds of their spirits. God has appointed a time for all things under the sun—a time to live on earth and a time to live in the far more real and eternal realm, all through the Lord’s teaching and training, leaving behind their weak and temporary
Page 1367
Last Days Timeline
bodies of flesh. And, during the predestined time of the millennium, Jesus will set all their priorities straight, to hasten the growth of truth in them and in all His Gentile elect, to prepare us for life in heaven. Now all our spirits remain dull and ignorant. Our infantile spirits are mostly ruled by the foolish and selfish demands of our flesh. But a time will come when our spirits will be strengthened in Jesus, when our God and Messiah, will be the principal and “everlasting light” of our souls. He will be the light by which we carry out all our daily tasks. Our emancipated, matured spirits will look only to Jesus for all our counsel, as the only Head of our hearts, as our only Savior and wise Teacher.
Jesus will be our only glory. All our good opinions will be for Him alone. For Jesus will be the only true and reliable Source of all our knowledge and wisdom in all matters of life and faith. Because of His effective teaching and training of our spirits, we shall no longer mourn and grieve during the millennium, as we do now, due to our own impotence against evil, and because of the effects of our own ignorance, foolishness, delusions and destructive sins. For His loving righteousness and power will save us from all lies and sins, together with the just, pure truths He teaches to our spirits. And all elect Jews and Gentiles will realize their calling at last, which is to labor at His good, just, equitable and beneficial works, as His servants, as His priests. Jesus will also restore our lands to the beauty He originally intended them to have, for our good and for the good of all His creations. Jesus will sow only good seeds upon the earth, only loving human spirits and balanced life in nature. We will be the work of His hands, never again manipulated by men or demons, never becoming the dupes of godless human gods. Our God Jesus alone will be glorified, praised as the only Holy One on earth.
Isaiah 65:17-25 (ESV): “‘For behold, I create [i.e., reedeem and restore] new heavens and a
new earth , and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind . But be glad
and rejoice forever in that which I create [i.e., redeem and restore]; for behold, I create [i.e.,
redeem and restore] Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people to be a gladness. I will rejoice in
Jerusalem and be glad in My people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and
the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old
man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the
sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.
“They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They
shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a
tree shall the days of My people be, and My chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of
the blessed of [Yahweh], and their descendants with them. Before they call I will answer;
while they are yet speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion
shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy
in all My holy mountain,’ says [Yahweh].”
During the millennium, God will not literally “create” new skies (i.e., “heavens”) and a new earth. Nor will He destroy the old skies and the old earth at His second advent. For He created these very skies and this earth to exist until an indeterminate time after the millennium ends. And He created His eternal heaven, the spiritual space-time continuum, in the very beginning, likely before He created the material space-time continuum. So the Hebrew word bawraw should not be translated as “create” here. In context, it would be better translated as “renew” or “put in a new or happier condition” (or “restore”). Hebrew scholars tell us that bawraw has a broad area of meaning, such as this: “The leading import of [bawraw] is twofold: (1) The production or effectuation of something new, rare, and wonderful; the bringing something to pass in a striking and marvelous manner ... (2) The act of renovating, remodeling, or reconstituting, something already in existence” (Wilson,
Page 1368
Seventh Seal Prophecies
William; Old Testament Word Studies; Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, Michigan; 1978). So this prophecy really means that God will “redeem and restore renewed heavens and a renewed earth.”
In other words, after the utter devastation of the skies and lands on earth through His plagues of the end times, as well as after all the pollution and destruction caused by humans even before those plagues began, God will restore and renew the atmosphere and the lands on earth, during the millennium. This will be done partially through the joyful and effective works of His elect. But much of this redemption will need to be done by His power to work miracles as well. As in other prophecies through Isaiah, as well as in other Scriptures, God is actually prophesying that the atmosphere and even outer space above the atmosphere, together with the land and waters upon the earth below, shall be transformed into an uncorrupted and wholesome state, into God’s land again.
After Jesus returns, the earth will become much like it was on the seventh day of creation, although it will not likely have the same kind of water-vapor canopy suspended over it as in the days before Noah’s flood, nor the underground watering of plants that it had in the Garden of Eden. Also, just as we all tend to forget the bad times after we live in peace and abundance for a time, and never want to bring those bad times to mind, we shall do the same after Jesus returns. We will all live in the simple, clean, pure and natural beauty of our lands, like they were before the greed and selfish ambitions of Satan’s world order touched them. The air, waters and fields will be as they were before humans destroyed, polluted and ruined them, with a total disregard for the future generations of their own children and other living creatures. But, during the millennium, the citizens of God’s kingdom will not be like the past generations. For Jesus will effectively rule over all the earth, with His just power.
Through His biblical principles of justice, Jesus will redeem and restore all the damages and losses caused by the past sins of those who served Satan’s world order, especially the sins of the Roman humanists during the last two thousand years. For true justice always strives to restore the damages and losses caused by sins and crimes. And our God Jesus will bear the power to completely and effectively restore literally all the losses caused by the previous administration. Also, Satan, together with all the destroyers in His kingdom, will have been removed from the earth before the millennium begins. So no one will be left to cause further damages and losses. Only the elect will remain. And all the elect will be awakened by the time Jesus returns and the millennium begins. So none of the elect will act through greed or a lust for power, like the citizens of Satan’s kingdom did. Rather, all will fulfill God’s Law, including His first two laws given to Adam: (1) tend the garden of the whole earth and (2) name all living creatures, which means take responsibility for all that lives on the earth.
After His wrath falls upon apostate Israel and the other humanists of the world during the end times, Jesus and His kingdom will tend the garden of the earth which He redeemed and restored, and take responsibility for the well-being of all life. All will forget the former unnatural and polluted lands of former times, and never call to mind the ways of Satan’s world order, nor how bad life used to be in the days before Jesus returned. Yahweh in Jesus will bring love, gladness and joy to all, so “the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.” And His loving, wise, just, equitable ways will be so effective that there will no longer be “an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old…. They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit…. For like the days of a tree shall the days of [His] people be, and [His] chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands” (Is. 65:20-22, ESV). No longer will the elite of Satan’s world order steal our time and honest labors to make themselves wealthy, while their own siblings starve, then make many homeless through the thefts of their psychopathic financial systems.

Last Days Timeline
Since the days of Adam, God has allowed Satan to build up his own kingdom of sinners on earth, which the Scriptures call the “world order” (κόσμος). And everyone was given a choice, to either (1) nullify the works of Satan and build up God’s just and loving kingdom on earth, or (2) join Satan’s world order as the enemies of God and do his works of ruthless destruction. But most human beings choose to become citizens of the world order, to be governed by Satan’s ways, and to reject the ways of their loving and just Creator. So, after all these thousands of years, but especially since that devil invented his religion of humanism with its core doctrines of exploitative self-worship, the entire earth has almost been destroyed. At this point, even those who are still able to think have become so lost in humanistic delusions that they believe nothing is truly real or meaningful, that there is no truth, that nothing can be called right nor wrong, good or evil. Then those confused masses can be easily manipulated and forced do the works of Satan, to provide for the selfish desires of a few elite human gods, to serve the favorite offspring of Satan in his world order. They plunder and kill the innocent through their ruthless economic systems, slaughter millions through their greedy wars, virtually or actually enslave all whom their hierarchical class systems artificially deem “inferior,” forbid truth and justice to raise its voice, and strive to create the darkness of hell in their lands.
So it is almost time for the end times to begin, when Jesus judges the earth. Soon all that exists in the devil’s cities and factious nations, all his meaningless and destructive systems, will be crushed into dust. Satan’s power of money—used to esteem those whom he has chosen to rule over his unjust world order, used to delude and manipulate his citizens into worshipping his most favored psychopathic puppets as their savior gods—will no longer exist. All the delusions which the demonic spirits have crafted throughout the past millenniums will be blown away like a mist, by the winds of the realities and truths that our God Jesus will bring with Him. But will His elect be ready? In our day, the vast majority believe that their purpose in life is to serve Satan’s elite as their slaves, to build that which Satan’s elite inhabit and to labor for that which his elite consume. This is why, whenever Jesus wakes an elect spirit and causes that one to see a blurred but genuine image of reality, that one usually has an existential crisis. For the elect are currently so brainwashed by Satan’s world order, especially by that devil’s evangelists who teach his religion of humanism, that they no longer know who or what they actually are. So, whenever they see any real realities and truths, nothing makes sense to them and they cannot believe anything. Yet the elect inherently love those realities and truths. So they cannot easily dismiss them, which upsets and confuses them. A mere peek at God’s realities and truths can overturn everything the elect have ever believed about life and its purposes.
Therefore, it is now time for the elect to get ready for the end times and the return of Jesus. All of the humanistic garbage we learned about serving human gods and taking our places in their artificial hierarchical class systems must be purged from our souls, from the minds of our spirits and from our minds of flesh. All the outright lies and distorted truths we learned from false humanistic churches, synagogues and mosques must be thoroughly reevaluated in the light of God’s real truths. We must also beware of the spiritual and moral lies taught by secular humanists. And we must even separate the scientific realities observed in God’s creations from the political propaganda that every secular scientist interpolates into their findings. Then we need to realize that all economic systems, every form of capitalism, socialism, communism and fascism, will soon collapse. So the only way to get ready for all this is to form societies based on the eternal truths and realities created by God. If we build various truly just and loving societies everywhere on earth, which have nothing to do with worshiped human gods, hierarchical class systems or money, but are built upon the firm foundation of God’s own interpretations of His words and the examples God set for us, then we will survive.
Page 1370
Seventh Seal Prophecies
We need the Holy Spirit of Jesus to teach our spirits and our flesh discernment of truth from lies, so we might see the purposes of God’s mind for us and for His creations. We need to understand the spiritual and moral aspects of daily events in our lives, how He designed existence to teach and train our eternal spirits about His just and loving ways of heaven. Those who love the world order and money will continue to be loveless and unjust, taught to exploit and trample their own siblings and God’s creations by their owner, Satan. Those who refuse to acknowledge, esteem and worship the God of Israel, Yahweh in the Messiah Jesus, will remain the citizens of Satan’s kingdom, merely chained and beaten slaves kept in abject ignorance, appointed to dwell in the darkness of lies and delusions until that evil kills them, even in eternal death. And it is demonic spirits who command their spirits to believe that only their less real flesh is real, their spirits and God are not real.
Because some spirits worship the spirit of Satan, who is himself bound and chained by God, they remain bound and chained to a loveless, carnal existence. So they never experience real freedom, nor any rational purpose in life. They never find the reason for their own existence, nor for the realities of God’s other creations, nothing in either the spiritual or physical space-time continua. Yet, in these realities, the material realm is just a temporary part of the eternal spiritual realm, and the perceptions of the material exist only to educate elect spirits of humans, animals and other creatures living in bodies of flesh. Yet our material perceptions also reveal the genius of God, in the intricate balance of the laws of nature and in the unfathomable programming of DNA and RNA molecules, which order the functioning of bodies kept alive by directed energy from spirits. Literally all that exists is a miracle worked by God, and all is subject to an ultimate, non-linear time relative to God’s thoughts.
Those who live in the flesh bear no power to break free from the times ordained by God, nor can any choose their own destinies, as gods with a “free will” to create and shape their own spirits and flesh. All human spirits are merely weak and infantile children of either God or Satan, and both the elect and non-elect are predestined to be parented by the fathers of their spirits, to be educated and shaped into their own earthly and eternal destinies. Even God Himself cannot become anything other than what He is, and also never desires to be anything other than what He is. So the lies about “free will” and other humanistic fictions are not only irrational, but are destructive devices used by demonic spirits. For lying spirits use those false doctrines to falsely paralyze the elect with guilt about their past sins, so they do not repent from their failures into a forgiving and loving relationship with God, and press on towards the goal of salvation. Then Satan also wants his own non-elect brood to believe his lies about “free will” and the ability to create oneself into what he wants one to be. For he uses those lies to incite his offspring into unjust wrath and vengeance against the elect and their siblings.
No mortal soul can free oneself from one’s inherent spiritual or physical attributes, from the either the characteristics put into one’s spirit at its creation or the DNA put into one’s body at conception. Nor can one possibly control the experiences ordained for one’s lifetime on earth. One can become so deluded that one thinks one has done all this through the power of one’s own “free will.” But that delusion also comes from Satan and demonic spirits, and ultimately by the choice of God, when He allows demonic spirits to delude one. So a human sinner can reject Satan, repent into the truth and choose God, but only if and when God allows it. Nevertheless, God always causes this choice to be made in the minds of all elect human spirits, because He purposefully designed and created their elect spirits to make this choice from the beginning, so that every elect spirit could then learn to love and serve other spirits in the same just, equitable, wise and joyful way that He also loves and serves.
Yet Satan, who is a spirit, designed and created all the human spirits of his children with the same loveless attributes as his own spirit, and with the same compulsion to become their own gods, to seek only that which pleases themselves. Then that demonic spirit also keeps all his non-elect spirits
Page 1371
Last Days Timeline
ignorant, untaught and deluded, so none can even begin to truly perceive the realities God created. And this is easy for him to do, since he designed their spirits to hate the light of truth and “love” only the darkness of self-serving lies. So, because real love is built upon truths, but his non-elect hate and cannot know any truths, not one ever learns to love. Then genuine beauty is a spirit’s perception of God’s attributes through its love for God. Thus, the non-elect can never actually see true beauty, and cannot ever truly value, care for and protect anything truly beautiful. Also, since beauty reflects the attributes of God’s just and wise love, the non-elect can never desire those attributes, never want true justice, equity, honesty, wisdom nor anything else related to God’s love. Consequently, because God’s New Covenant salvation is the process of His Holy Spirit personally teaching and training human spirits to love in the same way He loves, and God only created the spirits His elect children with an ability to love in this way, only the elect can be saved. The non-elect cannot ever be saved.
So, to be freed from Satan’s delusions and sins, God Himself must set one free, even if one has an elect spirit, even if one’s spirit desires love, truth, wisdom, justice and all the attributes of the real Creator God. For God is our Father and our oldest Brother, and He created us in His image so we would develop a deep, personal, familial relationship with Him. He formed and shaped those desires in elect spirits so they would seek Him and grow into that kind of relationship with Him. And God has the power to save literally all the elect from Satan’s deluding world order, since God maintains absolute power over Satan. God has even bound the devil and all the demons in his army with unbreakable chains while He allows them to roam the earth. But God will only save His elect in their appointed times, although all earthly past and present times are one time, and the times at the gates of heaven are the only times when all will completed and perfected at once, as one family together.
At some appointed time during our experiences of perceived times on earth, God awaken various elect spirits, opens the eyes of their spirits to clearly see some truths, then possibly reveals more truths to those spirits, until He teaches and trains their spirits to partially understand and love Him. Then those chosen spirits realize that God is saving them. And those truths cause them to reject the exploiting, oppressing and destroying lies of Satan’s world order. However, until Jesus returns and the millennium begins, the saved elect must still live next to Satan’s world order, with the non-elect and many elect who remain deluded, who place their faith in Satan and hope for his empty rewards of wealth and power. So those elect constantly feel the pressure of the world order attempting to force them to believe Satan’s lies. And the devil will send his minions to coerce the elect, through many threats, into believing the delusions of their loveless kingdom and following their unjust ways.
This is why the elect must strive to truly fellowship with one another, in the ways their Father and Brother has actually ordained for them. That is, the elect must learn real truths from Jesus, so they can actually become one in mind and purpose, without humanistic hierarchies of human gods, with Jesus as their only Head. They need to learn from Jesus how to build His true kingdoms on earth. Then they will be able to truly express and practice His kind of just, equitable, honest and wise love, where each one’s weaknesses will be supported by the strengths of others in God’s family, and where God’s power enables them to survive and defend one another from the devil’s loveless non-elect.
In time, some elect will even begin to comprehend that all existence did indeed originate from the mind and power of God, and that He created all spiritual and physical existence for a real purpose, all in a rational and loving way which reveals His attributes. So they will begin to think about how God teaches and trains the whole body of His people and each individual child through the events of history and the times which each one personally experiences. Then this understanding, together with the realization that their spirits cannot die, but were created to live eternally with God, will free them from many lies and fears. Also, once the elect are no longer bound in the darkness of Satan’s world
Page 1372
Seventh Seal Prophecies
order, once they are no long blind, stupid, dull and deluded like humanists and other zealous citizens of Satan’s world order, those elect will begin to find the purposes of their own individual destinies and lives. They will also find that each one’s unique individual purpose harmonizes with the unique individual purposes of all the other elect, so that the whole purpose of God can be done on earth.
Every moment in each life, God weaves multiple and deeply interconnected purposes into such a complex and artistic fabric that we could study just one of these tapestries for years, yet never fully grasp all the loving wisdom He has worked into it. God’s mind is awesome, far beyond anything even the rational and powerful minds of our human spirits can fully comprehend, much less our minds of flesh. The Creator’s Spirit is so deep and wise that it is impossible for our irrational, weak and inept minds of flesh to even look upon Him without being absorbed into Him and disappearing into death, since all material existence is one brief thought from Him. So humanists, who live only by thoughts from their minds of flesh, cannot ever even begin to know the freedom, joy or love He represents and teaches to our spirits. They cannot know God at all. Only elect spirits can know Him.
Thus, the souls whom God does not remove from the stupid little darkness of humanism will be utterly destroyed on the last day. All who worship themselves in class systems will eternally perish. And this includes the self-worshipers in fake egalitarian systems which force everyone conform to a foolish human god’s dictated standards, then punish or murder all the “inferior” ones who cannot be enslaved by that humanistic system. All unrepentant humanists will be forever imprisoned within the darkness of their own cherished delusions. When Jesus throws Satan into hell, He will cast all his blind and ignorant slaves in there too, since their dark, enslaved and loveless spirits can never do anything except serve Satan through blind obedience. But Jesus also predestined that, by the last day, all the spirits who even begin to love His just love will repent into all His created realities and truths.
And, by the day Jesus returns to the earth, He will have awakened all the elect spirits, all who have survived His judgment of the world during the end times, and restore earthly life to the awakened elect spirits He brings with Him at the first resurrection. So His return will be a day of death for the loveless and a day of abundant life for the loving. God’s ways of love involve both the destruction of evil as well as the restoration and building up of good. Then Jesus will rule the earth until it ends.
Israel will be free under the rule of their Messiah and King, who will also teach and train them as their only true and eternal High Priest. Likewise, the entire world will be free and well-taught in the ways of God, even the animals of the fields and forests. All life shall be glad of heart and their spirits will rejoice in His redemption and restoration. After Satan’s world order is crushed, after the devil’s systems and currencies vanish, wars will be unknown and oppression through greed and selfish ambitions will not exist. The earth’s people will see no more “weeping and the cry of distress.” And after nature is restored, even animals in some places will live in relative peace. For God also said this about the millennium: “The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain” (Is. 65:25, ESV). And, when He said this, He did not mean it would occur only on the Temple Mount, since He made it clear that He will rebuild new skies and a new earth for the time of the millennium.
The “new skies and new earth” will resemble the skies and the land in the Garden of Eden at the creation before humans sinned through the flesh, when God said all was good. Of course, not all was good outside the garden, because God wrote examples and illustrations of both good and evil in His material creations. And not even the temporary land of Eden was entirely perfect, not exactly like the eternal spiritual home of God in heaven, because it too was part of the teaching and training grounds for God’s elect children. So, just like Eden, the skies and earth of the temporary material space-time
Page 1373
Last Days Timeline
continuum during millennium will not be as perfect as God’s spiritual heaven. For it will still be used as His educational facility for His elect. Some suffering and death will exist on earth in those days.
Some think that bodies of flesh on earth could never die in the beginning, not until Adam sinned. They think that all animals and all human beings were vegetarians or vegans. For God’s Word said, “to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food” (Gen. 1:30, ESV). But this does not mean all humans and animals were once vegetarians. It simply means that the spirits giving life to plants shall willingly sacrifice the bodies of those plants to sustain life in all the other living creatures. And the most critical teaching in this Scripture is that God has granted all living entities free food in abundance, all they will ever need to sustain the functioning of their flesh.
But the entire reason God created the earth, and His only purpose for temporarily locking spirits into the perceptions of the material space-time continuum, was to teach and train those spirits in a place which was not like His home of heaven, so He could shape and develop the wills of those spirits. He created the earth so those spirits could experience both good and evil, both life and death, for a short period of time. So, from the very beginning, the earth was made to accommodate the death of the flesh. Although spirits cannot die, God appointed the flesh of every living creature, the body of each bacterium and plant as well as the body of each conscious animal and human being, to die. Thus, there were deaths on earth before Adam sinned and while Adam lived in the Garden of Eden, but possibly no deaths in the “nursery” of that garden until Adam and Eve came of age. Even when the earth had no human sinners, death must have existed in it, because the earth was created to illustrate death and any deviations from the attributes of the life-giving Creator or life in His heavenly home.
And, just as it was in the “nursery” of the Garden of Eden, human beings will not be entirely sinless, with eternal lives in bodies of flesh, during the millennium. For our God Jesus will continue to use the earth as a training ground and teaching center for all human and animal spirits destined for life in heaven. For, through Isaiah, God told us: “No more shall there be in [Jerusalem and all the earth] an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed” (65:20). Here God tells us about the “sinner” (Hebrew = khawtaw) who is “accursed” (Hebrew = kawlal, i.e., one whom God does not respect or considers to be vile), who lives during the millennium after He has returned to the earth. And it is also obvious that people will die during that time. Jesus may keep some alive in bodies of flesh during the entire millennium. But He will not let everyone live so long.
As long as human spirits dwell in bodies of flesh on earth, their flesh will sin. Then elect spirits will repent out of that sin into the truth, and learn to value that truth more than ever, while growing more wary of the lies which caused that sin. In other words, elect spirits are taught and trained by both their bad and good experiences in their flesh on earth. Of course, animals and all other living entities in bodies of flesh on earth cannot sin, because none possess any capacity to discern good from evil, so they cannot willfully do anything against God or against His property. All their life-giving spirits are bright white lights, and their bodies of flesh are simply caused to do all they do. But this does not mean that all their actions will be what God and elect human spirits recognize as the good, just and loving ways of God. Rather, if humans did some of the things done by those other living creatures, it would be done against God’s will which He reveals to all human souls, and definitely would be a sin. Some things that animals do are thoroughly repulsive to awakened elect spirits. Yet those “evil” actions by those other living creations also bear bad consequences, the “rewards” of sin. So even the “evil” actions which those other living creatures innocently do serve to educate elect spirits about sin and its consequences. Meanwhile, the “good” actions of those other living creatures also bear “good
Page 1374
Seventh Seal Prophecies
fruits.” So those “good” actions can teach the elect about the just and loving principles of God. In this way, God wrote about the principles of His Law in all His creations from the beginning of time.
So God’s original curse upon the earth, after Adam and Eve sinned, caused the earth to be “subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it,” but it was not what brought death to all creatures on the earth. Rather, God’s curse against the lies and sins of Adam and Eve would be that men would labor with much frustration, and women would also suffer more in the bearing and raising of their children. It meant that workers would build dwellings which another would seize and inhabit, or plant crops that another would steal and eat. It meant that God would hand humans over to lies and sins, so there would be no more justice, equity, freedom and resources available for all, although God still scattered those resources everywhere on earth, for all to simply gather for their own survival. This seems to speak of a time when God allowed humans to create hierarchical systems, where elite overlords began to oppress the people by distributing inequitably goods and services, by taking far more for their own self-indulgent purposes than they gave to all the others.
But that curse for the lies and sins of humankind will be lifted from the earth during the millennium, when Jesus returns to cast Satan and his kingdom from the earth. Although this curse seems to have been placed on sinners more than ten thousand years ago, only a little more than a thousand years will undo all the devil’s works during those millenniums of his dark world order. Humans and other living creature will still die, since no spirits were meant to live forever in temporary flesh on this earth. All God’s chosen spirits on earth were created to live forever in the far more real and eternal spiritual realm of heaven. But the “futility” of human labors, by which the wicked caused so many deaths and such great suffering, will no longer exist on earth. For Isaiah prophesied that, when the Messiah comes, “the wolf and the lamb shall graze together.”Likewise, the lion will eat grass while snakes eat substances in the soil. Now some wolves, sheep, lions and snakes might literally do all of these things during the millennium. But it seems that God is using figurative language here as well.
In other words, it appears that God is speaking about different kinds of human beings here. That is, God seems to saying that He will grant both the aggressive ambitiously inquisitive elect, as well as the passive accepting elect, all the fruits of their labors. Then the bold lion, who rules over and keeps the balance of nature in his territories, is like some humans. But the elect rulers will serve Jesus in the millennium, and will not devour other human souls in their land, as they once did in Satan’s world order. And snakes, who use their cunning to trap their prey, are also like some humans. But those kinds of people will use their cunning to serve Jesus, and sustain themselves on His providence instead of prey. For the new skies and new earth will more closely resemble those in heaven above.
God’s Word tells us that, before Noah’s flood, the earth possessed a very different atmosphere, one with significantly more moisture in the atmosphere and in the ground. For the earth seems to have had a canopy of water vapor suspended over the whole earth (Gen. 1:6-8). Then God watered the plants, at least those in the Garden of Eden, with a mist rising from the ground (Gen. 2:6). Now, if such a canopy existed over the earth, it would filter out ultraviolet light and carbon-14, while holding in heat, but also regulating temperatures around the world through the currents of air and ocean waters flowing under it. It would provide superior growing conditions for plants throughout the earth, and vegetation would even grow in the far north and the lands beneath the Antarctic ice, just as we see in the fossil records. Furthermore, the filtering of light by the water vapor canopy would alter our perceptions of light from the sun. The color of the sky in the daytime would be a much deeper blue, since less blue light and more red light would shine through the canopy. Then the moon and stars would be magnified at night, making them seem larger and brighter. The sunlight reaching the earth would be more yellow too, much like the light just before sunset, but brighter and less harmful.
Page 1375
Last Days Timeline
It is interesting to note that human eyes were actually designed to see more clearly in more yellow light, with more red light in the visible spectrum, the kind of light that would result from a canopy of water vapor suspended over the earth. Also, with a canopy’s deflection of UV light, human beings and most other creatures likely would live much longer. Then add to this the quality and amount of available food if plants and soil organisms were watered by a mist from the ground. So think about how God said He would restore and rebuild “new skies and a new earth” during the millennium. Did He mean that He would restore and rebuild the canopy of water vapor over the earth and cause much of the earth to be watered by mist from the ground? After all, God told us that humans will live much longer during the millennium, after Jesus restores the skies and the earth. Perhaps some will even live almost as long as they did before Noah’s flood. Of course, there will be sin and death during the millennium, even as loving justice prevails through the power of our God, Jesus. But it also implies that God will restore the longevity of life, so some will live hundreds of years, which may mean that the canopy of water vapor will be restored over all the earth. Some will even live with Jesus during the entire millennium, more than a thousand years, longer than the 906 years of Methuselah’s life.
But, aside from these speculations, let us trust the words of this prophecy. For these are the words that God Himself commanded the spirit of Isaiah to speak and write down. Let our spirits see what our flesh cannot, that a future Jerusalem surely will be a joy and her people will bring gladness to all the world, due to the presence of the Messiah Jesus ruling the entire earth from there. Through His Jewish servants, this joy and gladness will flow out into all peoples and all lands in the whole world.
Jeremiah 3:14-18 (ESV): “Return, O faithless children, declares [Yahweh]; for I am your
Master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
And I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and
understanding. And when you have multiplied and increased in the land, in those days,
declares [Yahweh], they shall no more say, ‘The ark of the covenant of [Yahweh].’ It shall not
come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again .
“At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of [Yahweh], and all nations shall gather
to it, to the presence of [Yahweh] in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow
their own evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and
together they shall come from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers for a
heritage.”
God gave many prophecies about the Messiah and the millennium through Jeremiah as well. And here God told us how He will return the Jews “from the north,” from Babylon, where they were taken into captivity during Jeremiah’s lifetime. Then, “at that time” of the Jews returning, God said “Jerusalem shall be called the throne of Yahweh, and all nations shall gather to it, to the presence of Yahweh in Jerusalem.” And this “throne” and “presence” of Yahweh in Jerusalem must refer to a body of Yahweh, to the return of Jesus, the Messiah and King, in whom the whole of Yahweh dwells.
After Babylon took the Jews into captivity, they were scattered throughout the world by Babylon’s religious descendants, by Persia, Greece and Rome. So today, in Babylon’s fourth kingdom of Rome, which has conquered the entire world, Jews now dwell even in places to the south, east and west of Jerusalem and Israel. Nevertheless, the prophecies tell us that our God Jesus shall return literally all the Jews in the world to their land of Israel, and all of them will indeed come from Babylon. For Babylon remains the head of its three subsequent kingdoms, including today’s religious kingdom of Greco-Roman humanism ruling all the world. Not only that, but we have already seen some Jews return to Israel from lands previously ruled by the physical northern kingdom of Babylon as well.
