America in Prophecy, Rapture, Revelation and The Last Days
(Partial Preterist)
Jesus is ruling and reigning as King Today, though many Christians sin in unbelief and many in the nations work feverishly to force indoctrinate the children to replace Him with the gods of Civil Government, Secular Humanism, the antiscience religion of Evolution of Life from bacteria to the higher life form of mankind.
Psalm 110:1-4 Jesus ascends to be with His Father (Acts 1:9).
Psalm 110:5-7 Jesus ruling and reigning the Earth smashing nations with His “rod of iron” (Ps 2:9; Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15).
Psalm 110:5 “The Lord is at Your right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.” Now that Jesus indeed is at the “right hand” of God His Father, He is ruling and reigning today!
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John”
~ Revelation 1:1
Revelation 1:7 “Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for Him. Yes! Amen!”
Rev 1:7 is fulfilled prophecy. Jesus told Caiaphas the high priest in his lifetime, that Jesus would return with the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14:62 “Jesus said, ‘I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” It is very possible that Caiaphas the High Priest later became a Christian as Caiaphas was granted grace to escape from Jerusalem’s destruction at the height of the siege as the historian Josephus wrote.
Jesus NEVER contradicts Himself and “Every eye will see Him” means only those eyes that have become Christians or allowed into His presence by His permission. Because Jesus said ONLY those who want to see Him in Truth, Blessing Him who comes in the Name of His Father Jesus meaning “Jehovah is Salvation.”
Matthew 23:39 “For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’”
Basic summary, either the Apocalypse prophecies are mostly fulfilled, or in the future they will ALL eventually be fulfilled. Two choices of interpretation, PAST fulfillment of most of the Apocalypse or FUTURE fulfillment of the Great Tribulation…
The Holy Scriptures have written King Jesus Christ is now ALREADY ruling the kings and nations of the earth today (Rev 1:5), as He was already ruling the nations before speaking to the seven original churches of Asia (Rev 2-3). The thesis of this commentary is to Scripturally show Christ has already fulfilled all of the prophecies indicating His N.T. reign was to begin shortly after His Resurrection as Jesus said at the Last Supper where the N.T. “The Last Will and Testament” of Christ was given. Jesus said when He had food with them the next time Christ would have authority over all the kings and nations of the Earth. Jesus would eat His next meal a few days later with the disciples, as recorded in the Holy Scripture (fulfilled in John 21:12-14).
The Apocalypse, is the “curtain going up,” the unveiling and revealing the role of King Jesus as the absolute sovereign ruler of Heaven and of Earth, ruling the earth’s kings and nations then, today and forever (Rev 1:5).
Just as a "Last Will and Testament" is opened and executed immediately after the death of the testator, so the New Covenant Scroll with seven seals is the N.T. "Last Will and Testament" of Jesus Christ, the "Lamb as if slain." Rev 11:17 has written all seven seals were broken open and the Great Tribulation occurred at the time of the Beginning of the Rule of Jesus. The Apocalypse timeline takes the readers from the Great Tribulation, circa 70 A.D. out into eternity with the Bride of Christ, New Jerusalem in the New Heaven and New Earth. American Christians today are greatly sinning in unbelief and are in self-denial, refusing to recognize King Jesus is now ruling today, which is why they are unwilling to have Jesus in government, or usually fight against implementing Christian Law and having a Christian nation by U.S. Law. 2Timothy 3:4 has written men would betray Jesus and the children. If American Christian leaders had been working to make America a Christian nation by U.S. Law for the last century, the USA would be a Christian nation today!
Except for coming end of this earth and universe and being taken into the New Heaven and New Earth in our new immortal bodies, the Apocalypse prophecies have been mostly fulfilled two millennia ago.
The “Futurists” are deceiving themselves the Apocalypse has not happened have predicted the end of the world in every generation for the last two thousand years without ever acknowledging their errors. They make up elaborate fables, heresies and excuses for NOT obeying King Jesus in government today. Jesus has already returned as Christ promised to the high priest Caiaphas within his lifetime. Mark 14:62 "And Jesus said, "I Am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." God always keeps His Promises.
The Holy Scriptures in The Bible gives overwhelming evidence the Book of Revelation was written in the time of Caesar Nero, the king who “is,” was already existing at that time in the first century A.D.
The “666” in the Hebrew is Nero Caesar, the Name of the Beast for those who have wisdom (Rev 13:18). No special revelation is necessary for interpreting the name represented by “666” (Rev 13:18). Only the skill in Gematria letter/number conversion game (by adding up the numerical values of the Hebrew letters) is required for translating what the name “666” represents. God plainly tells the reader when the season when these most of these events transpired was during the lifetime of Nero, the leader of the ancient Roman Empire, (Jerusalem destruction circa 70 A.D.). Preterists believe Apostle John and the Apocalypse identified Nero Caesar as the “666” antichrist who appeared in the last days of the Old Covenant and Nero declared himself as god as Jesus set up His kingdom on earth forever. Historian Josephus records the Roman Caesars declared themselves to be gods and they were to be worshipped as gods above all other religions. Roman Soldiers at Caesar’s command went naked and urinated in the Jerusalem Temple making the Abomination the Desolation with the Legions surrounding Jerusalem as Jesus said would happen a fulfilled first century prophecy.
Over half of the Scriptures of Book of Revelation are quoted or paraphrased from the Hebrew language of the Old Testament, so the remainder of the Apocalypse was probably written in Hebrew to the Hebrews, just as the Letter to the Hebrews was written in Hebrew to the Hebrews. The Book of Revelation is about the Jews who were the sons of the Kingdom, being thrown out of God’s Kingdom (Mt 8:12) and the beginning of the eternal rule of King Jesus over the kings and nations of earth (Rev 1:5b). For the Church and Civil Government to replace Christ reigns with defacto atheism and the antiscience religion of evolution of life from the simple cell to the complexity of mankind is irrational, deceptive and catastrophic, damning the souls of most children and the state official religions will turn the nations to the barbarism that survive WW3.
The Apocalypse is basically about the New Testament given at the Last Supper by Jesus. It is about the fulfillment of the O.T. Law and the END of the O.T. Temple and ceremonial sacrificial system with Jesus the Lamb “as if slain” and the beginning of the reign of King Jesus two millennia ago. It is also about the covenantal curses written in the Law of Moses carried out against the Jews who refused to have Jesus rule over them and murdered Him in their rebellion. God had no choice but to cut the rebellious tribes of Israel off, however Jesus remains willing to graft them in again into the Vine of Life of Jesus Christ as His Sons, if they will only repent and accept King Jesus and the Holy Spirit ruling in their hearts as all Christians are required to do.
The Apocalypse is written about the revelation Jesus Christ who was already enthroned, given all authority in Heaven and on Earth, ruling in Heaven and on Earth. King Jesus reigning over the kings of the earth two millennia ago (Rev 1:5). Rev 11:17 has written these things happened at the time of the “Beginning” of the rule of Jesus Christ and not being delayed until some fantasy future fairy-tale version of the Millennium doctrine supposedly to come to pass in a fanciful imaginary future.
Rev 1:5 has written King of King Jesus is already ruling the kings and nations of the earth at the time before He actually speaks to the seven existing first century churches in the first three chapters Revelation chapters 1 thru 3.
1 Cor 15:25 has written Jesus is already ruling and reigning over the kings of the earth and is gradually, as time passes, He is making His enemies His footstool. The Postmillennial and Partial-Preterist views believe Jesus is ruling now, despite the antagonistic antichrist spirits, despite the persecutions and despite the tribulations Christians in many nations are experiencing. Christ has started ruling in His own royal throne Rev 3:14, and Christ’s enemies are being made to be His footstool and Jesus Christ wins all in the end however much Christians continue to fight Him and oppose advocating for Christian U.S. Law.
The futurist view of a fantasy future fulfillment of the prophecies in most of the Book of Revelation is an evil heresy of denial of God’s Word, denying King Jesus is Lord today and denying the fact He is already ruling the kings and nations of this earth today. The futurist heretics are making up excuses believing instead of Jesus ruling, that Satan is ruling and are sinning by damning their children to the government schools (pagan temples indoctrinating state religions where they usually lose their souls) turning most of the students’ minds and souls from Jesus forever, damning the children’s souls and resulting in damning the nation by betraying it to their enemies in the U.N. World Government.
By making up excuses and teaching the doctrines of demons that Satan is ruling and everything is just “prophecy” why things are getting worse is all working to bring the wrath of God and His Judgment against the United States.
The reason things are getting worse is because of heresy, the sin of unbelief of not wanting to obey King Jesus in government and instead wanting to be like all the pagan nations without God (1 Samuel 8:5) lusting for their desire to obey demons that tray to influence government and betraying the nation to its enemies, failing in their duty to God and to the nation. Failing in their Christian duty to raise up children in the Way of Christ so many might inherit eternal life. Failing in their Christian duty to the nation, instead of obeying and working in concert with King Jesus, the U.S. Congress is actually giving the USA to be ruled by its enemies in the U.N. World Government… As God told Prophet Samuel, they have not rejected a mere man, but have rejected God Himself from ruling the nation (1 Samuel 8:7).
The Book of Revelation is mostly about fulfilled prophecy, with a few yet unfilled prophecies, such as unfulfilled prophecies also in the Book of Isaiah, regarding Satan being cast into the Lake of Fire as Jesus said would be eventually an accomplished fact sometime in the future as Jesus said.
The Biblical time indicators of “last hour,” “at hand,” “soon,” “near,” and other grammatical time indicators indicating a first century fulfillment of most of these prophecies. All show these things did come to pass in the generation of those standing alive back then whom would remain alive until Jesus fulfilled all the prophecy of God’s Wrath that He said He would do to the apostate covenant breaking tribal Israel and Jews who rejected Him. (“This Generation” included those people alive whom Christ was speaking to at that time whom rejected Christ Jesus. The first century generation was the one with whom He was speaking to and fulfilled the prophecy circa 70 A.D. Mt 23:36; Mr 8:12: Lu 11:50-51; Lu 17:25; Lu 21:32.)
The following commentary on the Book of Revelation should be carefully read: Dr. David Chilton’s ‘Days of Vengeance.’ It is an excellent partial-preterist commentary explaining the Book of Revelation, and it is available as a FREE pdf download with a few minor scan errors at:

The commentary is also available as a hard cover book at Amazon.com.
There is a great amount of destructive heresy about the reign of King Jesus today and the doctrines of the Rapture, Revelation, The End Times and America in Prophecy resulting in apathetic attitudes leading to delusional heresies such as “all will be saved,” or the children will be saved when they become adults or the nation will be spared from nuclear war and God’s Wrath for rejecting King Jesus in government and forbidding the Gospel taught as truth in the public schools
People often want to be part of God’s Heavenly Kingdom but NOT ON EARTH as the Lord’s Prayer commands, as they stubborning oppose Christian Law and oppose a Christian nation as almost all Christian Lawyers have also done, which results in bringing God’s terrible Wrath eventually against the United States.
This eschatological epistle on the “Last Days” of Daniel and the Apocalypse of Jesus, is a work in progress written for those who wish to know the truth of Bible prophecy, and for those "who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying." It is under review and subject to coming numerous updates and corrections as necessary.
Overview of the Book of Revelation: The Book of Revelation/The Apocalypse, is basically about the transition from the O.T. to the N.T. revelation that Jesus is already ruling and reigning today by the New Covenant and His future promise is to take the church into eternity as the Bride of Jesus Christ.
Jesus descends written to earth to meet His Bride and saves her in the First Resurrection (1Cor 15:51) into the New City Jerusalem on the New Earth and New Heaven. There is no time for mankind left to exist on earth after the First and Second resurrection which occur on the “Last Day” as Jesus promised. As a result of no one left on Earth, the pre-tribulation-rapture doctrine is heresy and unbiblical. Because of the spiritual nature of Christians, Christians are prone to believe whatever is taught to them instead of “sweating blood” to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and Spirit of Truth.
Synopsis of Revelation After Jesus first addresses the seven churches in Asia, in the first three chapters, most of the remainder of the book is about the curse of the Law of Moses’ fulfillment of the O.T. Deuteronomy 28 list of God’s curses poured out upon Israel that were agreed to by covenant treaty in the Law of God (De 11:29). Then proclaiming King Jesus ruling as King of Kings as He had taken His great power and begun to rule in Rev 11:17 which was consummated at the time of the BEGINNING OF HIS RULE, then the Apocalypse goes out into eternity with the Bride of Christ New Jerusalem.
Jesus REPEATEDLY said it would happen to the same generation living at the time He was actually speaking to, existing two thousand years ago Mt 24:34; Mk 13:30. It was not in reference to a far distant future unborn generation thousands of years in the future in the apostate USA who opposes King Jesus and Christian Law in government and opposes the Gospel taught as truth in the public schools. The pronoun “you,” “standing here” all prophecy would be fulfilled in their lifetimes indicates the first century people Christ was actually talking to in Mt 23. Luke 21:32 “Truly I say to you, THIS generation will not pass away until ALL things take place.” Rev 11:17b has written the Tribulation and “All these things” have already taken place as Jesus said they would and not thousands of years later!
Mark 13:28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.” [The “Fig Tree” is symbolic of tribal Israel, leaves without fruit, cursed by Jesus so they would never bear fruit again (Mark 13:14).]
29 “Even so, you too, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING, recognize that He is near, right at the door.” [Jesus told those with Him they would see in their lifetimes the return of Jesus.]
30* “Truly I say to you, THIS GENERATION will not pass away until ALL these things take place.” [The first century disciples standing there with Him were those whom Jesus was directing His words of the prophecy to.]
Mark 13:30 “Verily I say unto you, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, until all these things be done.” [This generation does NOT mean “that future generation” but the generation of people Jesus was speaking to.]
31 “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.” [Hebrew symbolism of the old order of the place of the old “Heaven and Earth” where tribal Israel dwelt in Heaven and on Earth in the O.T. being done away with (Rev 21:1) as the Jews having a special covenant relationship with God and the Messiah Jesus which they rejected under the High Priest Caiaphas who was also told the return of Jesus Christ would be in his lifetime.]
32 “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
33 “You take heed, watch and pray: for you know not when the time is.” [They were to pray and expect the COMING OF JESUS WOULD “SOON” HAPPEN SOMETIME IN THEIR LIFETIMES!] The first century disciples were to “watch and pray” and becoming holy, blameless and worthy by the “blood of the Lamb” to escape all of these terrible things of the “Great Tribulation” (circa 70 A.D.).
Luke 11: 49-51 “For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute, in order that the BLOOD of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be CHARGED AGAINST THIS GENERATION, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against THIS GENERATION.’” The generation which crucified their LORD and Messiah Jesus Christ would have all the crimes and sins of past generations charged against them and as a consequence God Almighty’s Judgment of the Great Tribulation would be carried out against them in their lifetimes.
The Book of Revelation’s “Great Tribulation” was brought upon The GENERATION THAT EXISTED IN THE FIRST CENTURY AND THEY WERE CHARGED, JUDGED AND EXECUTED by God and Jesus Christ for rejecting the Lamb of God, rejecting their Messiah and rejecting King Jesus Christ resulting in losing eternal life with God forever.
Luke 19:27 “But these enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, bring them here and KILL [or slay] them in My presence.” Jesus warns those of His first century generation that He will have them killed as punishment for rejecting their Messiah and murdering their Savior Jesus Christ (God’s Judgment carried out Circa 70 A.D.).
1 Samuel 8:7 “The LORD replied, "for it is Me they are rejecting, not you. They don't want Me to be their king any longer!” Luke 19:27 indicates the New Testament eventual punishment for the USA for the sin of rejecting becoming a Christian nation and the sin of rejecting serving Jesus in government and in the public schools is the destruction of the nation!
Lu 21:32 “Truly I say to you, THIS GENERATION [living at that time Jesus was speaking to them] will not pass away until ALL things take place.” The generation Jesus was talking to would remain alive until ALL the prophecy of the Law of God was fulfilled against Israel in the “Great Tribulation,” it was eventually written in the Apocalypse (The Apocalypse/Book of Revelation was written Circa 66 A.D.).
Note the context where Jesus said, “I SAY UNTO YOU.”
Mt 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, [the stars falling from heaven and other earth shaking symbolism is ALL SYMBOLIC language] and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” Acts 2:19 Apostle Peter further explains the “darkening of the sun” and these symbolic signs in the heavens.
Mt 24:30 “And then shall appear the SIGN of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes [of Israel] of the earth mourn [for the O.T. Covenant for the unsaved Jews was ended and they lost God], and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” [This is all symbolic, spiritual, language and NOT LITERAL.]
Mt 24:31 “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” [This prophecy may have been partially fulfilled circa 70 A.D. as Jesus “took captivity captive” of the O.T. saints whom Christ preached to “in Paradise,” where He invited them to be with Him forever. The final gathering of the saints to God is at the “Last Trumpet” at the end of life on earth in 1Cor 15:52.]
Mt 24:32 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; [The FIG TREE is symbolic of ethnic Israel before the covenant relationship of God was broken with them circa 70 A.D.] When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh.”
Mt 24:33 So likewise ye, when YOU SHALL SEE ALL these things, know that it is NEAR, even at the doors.” [Jesus emphasizes it is the generation existing then that He was actually speaking to in the first century and not referring a future generation millennia later.]
Mt 24:34 “Verily I SAY UNTO YOU THIS GENERATION shall not pass, until all these things be fulfilled.” [Jesus did not add commas to break up His thought, the first century Jews had all this prophecy fulfilled upon them and their generation.]
Zechariah wrote about the siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Zechariah wrote about the final siege of Jerusalem by the Antichrist Caesar Nero and his armies made up of the nations of the world. In 70 A.D. Jerusalem was lost. In the end described by Zechariah He wrote about the coming of Christ, not the Second Coming, in which Jesus liberates New Jerusalem the moment he comes back to earth and all the Millennial blessings of God and Jesus’ reign had begun to come to pass.
The “Second Coming” should be considered as the 1Cor 15:52 “Last Trumpet” RESURRECTION giving us immortal bodies with eternal life and as the life giving Holy Spirit within Christians saving us from sins as the Angel Gabriel told Mary her son Jesus would save us from our sins in this life. Those that have “made themselves ready” and washed their sin-stained-robes in the Blood of the Lamb, being clothed with Christ, repenting of their sins will inherit eternal life with the Creator and His Son (Rev 7:14).
The “Second Coming” is not actually written as the “Second Coming” in the bible. The only He “shall appear a SECOND TIME for Salvation is found written in the book of Hebrews (Heb 9:28).
Hebrews 9:28 “so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a SECOND TIME for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.”
As the price of murdering King Jesus and OPPOSING King Jesus ruling over them, Israel would receive the death sentence from God and be killed by the COMMAND of King Jesus as He promised in Luke 19:47. Also the LAND of Israel would be turned over to Christians who would bear God’s FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT in the true “vineyard” of God.
With all the Scriptural time of the prophecies of the Great Tribulation referenced in such detail from multiple Scriptures, there is NO CHANCE of any delay of God’s judgment and transition from the O.T. to the N.T. when Jesus began to rule. There was NO delay, as God’s Curses were “SOON” and “QUICKLY” poured out upon apostate Israel who murdered their Messiah Christ Jesus as a nation, and it was in the time indicated in Rev 11:17 (Jesus was just starting His rule on earth when the time of the Great Tribulation happened. All the seals were broken open and everything upto Rev 11 actually happened and was fulfilled prophecy at the time of the beginning of the rule of Jesus). The fully penalty of the Dt 28 Curses of God were carried out upon the covenant breaking Jews circa 70 A.D.
Jesus in Mark 14:62 told Israel’s High Priest Caiaphas that He would RETURN in Caiaphas’ lifetime and Caiaphas would actually see Him with his own eyes before Caiaphas died.
When Israel failed to live up to its part of God’s bargain/treaty arrangement with the tribes of Israel, then God was bound by His Word to carry out His curses (circa 70 A.D.). The 7 Seals of the Book of Revelation were broken open as a result of Israel rejecting the Messiah and rejecting their legal obligations in the Old Testament Covenant. Scrolls, in the first century, scrolls with 7 seals were recognized as “Last Will and Testament” Covenants. Ancient scrolls with 5 seals were recognized as business contracts. Last Wills and Testaments are executed immediately after the death of the testator, in this case it is the Will and Testament of Jesus Christ that was read and carried out fully. The New Testament of Christ Jesus given at the “Last Supper” was immediately carried out and executed in the first century A.D. All that is required for a “Last Will and Testament” to be carried out is the death of the testator, the “Lamb of God,” and the beginning of the testament involves the punishment of tribal Israel who rejected Jesus for being their king and they were punished as a nation and cut off from being the “chosen people” forever, unless they repented as individuals and invited Jesus into their hearts becoming part of the Body of Christ.
The Book of Revelation starts out with now the fulfilled prophecy circa 70 A.D. and takes the testament outward into eternity with the Bride of Christ on the “New Heaven and the New Earth.”
In the parable of Mt 21:38 where Israel killed the Messiah and Jesus PROMISED He would come back and KILL THEM and replace them (The Jews) with others who would “bear fruit.” The Apocalypse is God’s fulfillment of His promise to kill the Hebrew nation who murdered their Messiah and putting the Gentile and Hebrew Christians in charge of God’s Vineyard (Mt 21:41). There is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ. Colossians 3:11b “there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.”
Because the scroll or book of the Old Testament was carried out to the last letter of the Law of God, the unsaved Jews today have no special covenant with God since the Apocalypse and today they are not God’s “chosen people.” The Jews were cut off (prophesied in Ezekiel 37) from God when they murdered their Messiah. The Jews did not want Jesus to be their King resulting in the death of the nation. Luke 19:27* “But these enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in My presence.” The Jews were broken off of Jesus the Vine of Life forever unless they repented of their sin of unbelief and accepted the Messiah, the ultimate sacrifice of the Lamb of God in their hearts (Romans 11:15-29).
King Jesus put the Christians in charge of God’s land and Vineyard (Mt 21:41) two millennia ago. Messianic Jews who became Christians or Gentile Christians are now in charge of God’s Vineyard since God ended the age of the unbelieving Jews and the ritual sacrificial system in Jerusalem FOREVER as Daniel prophesied would happen in Daniel 9:24 where Christ Jesus would make the FINAL ATONEMENT FOR SIN on the cross (suffering Messiah in Isaiah 53).
The time indicators of a first century fulfillment of the “Great Tribulation” are clearly indicated in Scripture. Right in the middle of the Book of Revelation in Rev 11:17, which occurs after the seven seals are all broken open, then at that time God tells the audience ALL THIS HAD HAPPENED at the onset of the “beginning of the rule and reign of His Son King Jesus.” King Jesus actually began to rule and reign two millennium ago!!! Jesus is Not delaying His Rule on earth for a coming future fantasy Millennium.
In John 6:40, 44, and 54, Jesus stated that those who believeth on him, he would raise up on the LAST DAY of mankind’s existence on earth.
John 6:40 “For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."
John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:54 “Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Likewise, this was the commonly held belief of those in Jesus' day who held to the truth of the resurrection – i.e., John 11:24 “Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
The Greek word for resurrection anastasis is preceded by the Greek definite article "the" resurrection. Also, the Greek word for Last eschatos is equally preceded by the greek definite article "the" Last. There is the resurrection of the righteous, and it is on the “LAST DAY.” It is NOT on the first day of thousands of days in the heretical Millennium doctrine variations taught in many churches.
Unsaved people, the lost, would be raised up on the Last Day for their Final Judgment and receive their sentencing for all of eternity. John 12:48 Jesus said, “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the Last Day.” After the “Last Day” the human race will no longer exist on this earth as both the saved and unsaved will be resurrected or raptured at the “Last Trumpet” on the “Last Day” forever. There will be no time and no “days” remaining to rule and reign with Christ Jesus on this physical earth after “The Last Day.”
The time to “rule and reign” with Christ Jesus is today and not just hypocritically plan to eventually obey Jesus and “rule and reign” with Him sometime in the far, far future in a heretical version of the Millennium!
It is a biblical contradiction to believe there would be a Millennium after Jesus said the resurrection would occur on “The Last Day” for the saved and of the unsaved in the “Second Resurrection.” There simply will be no more time for the human race to exist on this physical earth after “The Last Day.” It is scripturally impossible for a Millennium on this physical earth after “The Last Day” Resurrection.
Some churches have an attitude to NOT OBEY King Jesus because they don’t wish to believe He is already ruling. It is a DOCTRINE OF DEMONS’ idea taught by some churches that Jesus would not rule until a future mythological “golden age” Millennium and eventually there would finally be a Never-Neverland future upgrade of His rule in a utopian fantasy fairy tale version of the Book of Revelation that never happens in the far-far imaginary future.
The “Cinderella Syndrome” of believing in a “Prince Charming” (e.g. Christ) showing up in “the nick of time” saving everyone and making the earth a utopian fantasy paradise for a “thousand years,” “living happily ever after,” is a delusional psychosis in psychology and has no Scriptural basis in the Bible. “The Lion laying down with the Lamb” and millennial prophecies are about the eternity of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah laying down resting with His sheep (Christians).
In Heaven after the Resurrection there will be “paradise” but not before on this physical earth. Prophecy of being restored in Paradise, walking as Adam and Eve did with their Lord and Creator is God’s Will. It is the responsibility of believing Christians to “listen to His Voice” and be “led by the Spirit” so to save many children with the gospel of Jesus and save America from its enemies, or pay the final price for their neglect of their DUTY to God and betraying the nation’s future because of their loving the doctrines of demons and ideas of men more than obeying Jesus. Acts 4 shows the early disciples believed they were commanded by Jesus to break the law in order “to Preach and Teach in the Name of Jesus” without hypocrisy where today’s public school teachers do the opposite of what Jesus commanded of His disciples damning the children’s souls forever. Teaching the Bible in hypocrisy and not telling the children “Jesus is Lord” in comparative religion classes is NOT what Jesus and the early disciples had in mind. Jesus wants to be taught about as “absolute truth” and not as a myth or fairy tale doctrine of demons in a public school comparative religion class.
All the time indicators for the Great Tribulation and return of Jesus is Christ was in their LIFETIMES (circa 70 A.D.). Jesus said to Caiaphas the High Priest and in Mt 24 that they, in the first century, would remain and be alive at the time when Jesus returned on the “clouds of the sky with power and great glory” only a few years later (Mt 24:30; 26:64; Mr 13:26; 14:62).
Merely because there is not a surviving written Scripture about Jesus setting down and standing on His feet, upon the Mt Olives and physically walking through the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem, it does not mean Jesus is a Liar! Jesus TOLD THEM THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH about His soon return in their lifetimes and He did all that He Promised to do. Christ may have actually RETURNED “PHYSICALLY” IN THEIR LIFETIMES in the first century A.D. and physically fulfilled the prophecy of Zech 14:4. It was the end of God’s O.T. covenant relationship with the Jews and the physical city of Jerusalem. Just as Jesus and the two angels talked to Abraham, “Jesus who is always the same,” is capable of taking on a human form and talking to people today (Genesis 18:1-2).
First John was written before the Apocalypse was written where King Jesus began to take His “Great Power and begun to Rule” (Rev 11:17b). Until the Apocalypse unveiling of King Jesus and His Rule of the Kings of the Earth the evil one did indeed rule. However it is the very same Apostle John who wrote Rev 1:5 Jesus is the “ruler of the kings of the earth” and THE EVIL ONE is NOT ruling the nations. 1John 5:19 “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”
The churches are killing the children and harming their own congregations by insisting King Jesus is not ruling and reigning over the kings and nations today!!! Satan being the “father of lies,” is fulfilled by Christians who insist upon the lie that Satan is ruling instead of believing the TRUTH JESUS IS KING and ruling the nations today is helping to drive Christianity to extinction!!! As Jesus said, “Either you are for ME or Against Me!”
By abrogating their responsibility and duty to God in government and public schools, the Christians are letting God’s enemies drive Christianity to almost complete extinction in one generation in The United States!
Jesus is waiting for all His enemies to be made into “His Footstool” and it is also taking some time for the “Rock” to fill the entire earth that came from Heaven and smashed Nebuchadnezzar’s statue of the world’s empires in the vision, the seventy weeks of Daniel in prophecy has already been fulfilled. King Jesus has DOMINION of the kings and nations on earth and has received His Kingdom.
Today in the 21st century most Christian Churches usually believes lies and doctrines of demons, so the USA will be damned not become a Christian nation, and preaching the Gospel as truth is illegal in public schools. Lies, giving place to devils, working to lull them to fall asleep spiritually so they will not take their rightful place to “rule and reign” with Jesus in His Kingdom here on Earth resulting in losing the souls of most children and betraying their duty to the nation, as the USA is being gradually turned over to its enemies by law in the U.N. World Government, treaty by treaty.
Jesus KEPT HIS PROMISE AND RETURNED IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D. and conquered the Jews and repaid them with God’s Curse for rejecting the Messiah and breaking their covenant with God.
Mt 16:28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Mt 16:28 is tied to Jesus at the Last Supper where He said He would have His Kingdom when He drank wine again and that He had received His Kingdom teaching forty days more on His Kingdom (fulfilled in John 21:12-14). The disciples believed there would be an immediate establishment of a Christian nation, they hoped Israel itself would be the first Christian nation, but Jesus told them He did NOT know when there would be a Christian nation, but only knew the “Times or Epochs/Seasons” was already FIXED BY THE FATHER’s judgment. There would be a number of Christian nations established by the Father’s Will on earth, but America has chosen heretical doctrines, idols of ideology, and have apostatized by the will of the harlot Christians who opposed Christian law and idolized legal polytheism so most of the children would be corrupted and so be turned from God and the nation be thrown down before its enemies to be ruled, plundered and eventually destroyed by the U.N. World Government.
Mt 16:28 is related to Jesus COMING to earth in JUDGMENT, and not the primary revelation of God’s deity and light as God’s Glory on the Mt of Transfiguration in Mt 17:2, which some try to twist to mean that is what Jesus meant by “coming on the clouds.” However the event happened in the lifetime of Caiaphas the high priest as Jesus also said to Caiaphas. The event of Christ’s Return would be in the near future and the high priest would also see it happen, circa 70 A.D.
Mt 24:30 “and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes [of Israel] of the earth [soil of Israel] will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.”
Mt 26:64 “Jesus *said to him, “You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you [Caiaphas] shall see [during their 1st century lifetimes] THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.””
Mr 13:26 “And then they will see [in their 1st century lifetimes] THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.”
Mr 14:62 And Jesus said, “I Am; and you [“you” is defined by Jesus as the high priest Caiaphas and group of leaders of the Sanhedrin at the trial of Christ] shall see [in their 1st century lifetimes before they died] THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.” Caiaphas The High Priest of Israel saw with his physical eyes, in his lifetime, the RETURN OF JESUS as Jesus publicly told him, circa 70 A.D.
Jesus does NOT contradict Himself and mean the opposite of what He said. Jesus did NOT say His return is NOT in their lifetimes, but thousands of years later… Jesus said He would RETURN IN THEIR LIFETIME in the first century! God DOES NOT LIE, but today’s churches do Lie against the truth of Jesus reigning now and as a result most children’s souls are forever lost in their hypocrisy and lies of false doctrine and the USA is being given to its enemies! King Jesus is free to “return” and “come” as many times as He wishes before the resurrection. For in Mt 18:20 Jesus said, “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” Jesus will return for the final RESURRECTION in 1Cor 15 and in 1Th 4:16 “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.”
Also terms such as “these things will happen soon,” “at hand” and other references to a first century fulfillment of the Apocalypse prophecy are written of the soon coming, lightning quick Coming of Jesus in wrath and His judgment in the first century (Circa 70 A.D.). They did not have to wait a long time, these things came into being in a few years. They had to “watch and pray” to be personally worthy to escape the “Great Tribulation.”
Re 2:16 “Repent therefore; or else I am coming to you QUICKLY, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.”
“Quickly” Strong’s gk Tachu: quickly, speedily (without delay).
Re 3:11 “I am coming QUICKLY; hold fast what you have, in order that no one take your crown.”
Re 22:7 “And behold, I am coming QUICKLY. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.” Book in the greek Biblion is for a book or scroll, sometimes for multiple books. The greek Biblos, where we get “Book of Books” as used for all the O.T. is in its entirety. The prophecy of the Apocalypse was fulfilled quickly after a few years of its writing. It is heretical error and eisegesis believing the book of Revelation is all FUTURE prophecy to be fulfilled thousands of years in the future. Jesus spoke plainly and it is a mistake to fail to believe Him at face value.
It is sin believing the doctrines of men or demons resulting in ruining the children and the nation that deceives Christians a future fantasy utopian Millennium is coming instead of the true prophecy of the coming radioactive ashes of the USA. The “wages of sin” is death. The early disciples were commanded to break government laws to “Preach and Teach in the Name of Jesus” as written in Acts 4. Today’s Christians are usually unwilling to break the law or change the law so to “preach and teach in the Name of Jesus” as Jesus commanded. Though God loves mercy, King Jesus has no choice because of the hard heartedness of Churches sending their children and watching their neighbors’ children being sent to the public schools where they are usually turned away from God and as a result lose their souls.
Re 22:12 “Behold, I am coming QUICKLY, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.”
Re 22:20 “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming QUICKLY.” “Amen Come, Lord Jesus.”
The word “Quickly” in the book of Revelation is translated from Strong’s Concordance 5035 tacu tachu takh-oo'
neuter singular of 5036 (as adverb); adv
KJV - quickly 12, lightly 1; 13
1) quickly, speedily (without delay)
It is UNBIBLICAL and a doctrine of demons to teach Christians “quickly” means millennia of FUTURE delays, when in fact it biblically means quickly, speedily and without delay fulfilling the prophecy of His coming only a few years later circa 70 A.D.
It is worse than a foolish sin for Christians to betray King Jesus in government, in business, and in the public schools losing most children souls, because they want to believe lies and deceptions about the delayed fulfillment of the Great Tribulation in the Book of Revelation. Jesus said Christians must listen to His Voice! Betraying the children, King Jesus and allowing the nation to be taken over by their enemies is NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!
Jesus said, “I Am The Truth” and God WARNS Christians are NOT let themselves be deceived. With the “Spirit of Truth” available to Christians it is truly sin to believe major false doctrines such as the reign of Christ is restricted to a future Millennium after “The Last Day” Resurrection. The time to reign with King Jesus Christ is right now at this time on this physical earth. Mankind was made in the “image and likeness of God,” and as people’s feelings are hurt when they find out lies or false statements are spread about them, so also Jesus “The Truth” has His “feelings hurt” and the Holy Spirit is “quenched” when lies in major false doctrines are spread about and wrongly taught in the churches as truth, when in fact they are lies.
Consider the symbolic “thousand years” of the heretical Millennium doctrine of a future fantasy deception so the people and the nation will die. It is NOT a literal thousand years, but Christ reigns now and forever.
God "has the cattle on a thousand hills.” In Biblical numerology, the number “thousand” means everything, forever! Jesus owns every atom of the universe and not just a thousand years or a “thousand” hills full of cattle. A “Thousand Years” means Jesus is reigning now and forever and His reign potentially ending means on this Earth means the harlot Christians rejected having King Jesus reigning past, present, and in the future in the U.S. Government in Truth and opposed legally preaching the Gospel in the public schools as Jesus commanded, evidenced by Acts 4:18-20. It is not Christ that ended His rule, it is the Christians ending the rule of Jesus in U.S. Law, sealing their destiny of ruin, punishment, and the coming desolation of WW3.
Last Days and Resurrection-Rapture SCRIPTURES.
The “SOON” coming of Jesus in the Apocalypse, in the lifetimes for His 1st century audience is an entirely different event than at the great finale, “Second Coming” (John 5:29; 1Th 4:15; 5:23; 1John 2:28; Heb 9:28), “Last Trumpet,” Resurrection (1Cor 15:51-58) of the living and the dead. The FIRST RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS EVENT is at the end of mankind’s existence on this earth forever… Jesus is entitled to have as many “Comings,” to manifest Himself on this earth as He desires and it is Scriptural.
1Cor 15:51-58 "Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall NOT ALL SLEEP [in death], but we shall ALL be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable [First RESURRECTION] and we shall be changed.” “For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality” [bodies like Jesus now has 1John 3:2]. “But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.” “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" [rewards and eternal treasure in heaven are promised by Jesus].
In Hebrews 11:5 has written Enoch was raptured, taken, in a moment, in a "twinkling of the eye,” faster than Enoch’s brain could process and did not actually "see" death, though Enoch did "die,” as all men died, until the time of the first Resurrection. Simply said, Enoch died so quickly his eye and brain did not have enough time to biologically process the death event so to comprehend or grasp the fact he died. Thanks to the mercy of the Lord it happened too quickly for a mere mortal, based upon slow biological sensory processes, to notice. Hebrews 11:5 "By faith Enoch was translated into that he should not [visually] SEE death; and was not found, because God had TRANSLATED him: for before his TRANSLATION he had this TESTIMONY, that he pleased God."
1Th 4:16 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the [Last] trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first [Resurrection]." This is the FIRST RESURRECTION of ALL those in Christ Jesus.
1Th 4:13-18 [The Resurrection is the HOPE of the Church.] "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep [dead], that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.” “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep [dead] in Jesus.” “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep" [dead]. "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the [same event as 1Cor 15:52 "Last"] trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” “Therefore comfort one another with these words."
Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Th and 2 Th the Christians were not to be frightened or shaken, for the Great Apostasy, Tribulation and AntiChrist would eventually ALL be revealed to them, for these prophetic events would be all fulfilled in their lifetimes circa 70 A.D.
1Th4:13-18 The Rapture/Resurrection is one in the same event at the "Last Trumpet" (1 Cor 15:52). Apostle Paul taught the Thessalonians the Great Tribulation would be so soon, some believed the resurrection had happened without them, leaving them on earth to perish. Jesus said three times “on the Last Day” He would raise up in the Resurrection the dead in Christ. It is the Last Trumpet that Jesus resurrects the dead (1Cor 15:52).
What is confusing to most churches is Paul tells of the "end game" the final wrap-up of the church throughout all time that there will be hope rewarded in eternity and Christians will have the rewards and benefit from the spiritual and physical treasures laid up in Heaven in Jesus. Then Paul goes on and talks of the current events coming "soon" in the first century circa 70 A.D.
1Th 5:1 "Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.” 2 “For you yourselves know full well that the DAY OF THE LORD will come just like a thief in the night.” 3 “While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction [temple destroyed] will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" [circa 70 A.D.].
1Th 5:9 "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him."
The "wrath" in 1Th 5:9-10 is in the CONTEXT the eternal suffering and shame of exile from Jesus in "outer darkness" and "Lake of fire," CONTRASTED with the eternal SALVATION of the saints.
The Christians escaped the WRATH of God circa 70 A.D. by not being children of disobedience and sons of wrath by fleeing for their lives as Jesus COMMANDED them to do so they would escape from Jerusalem when the armies of the Roman Empire surrounded the city (Mark 13:14). The EARLY WARNING from Jesus to ESCAPE from Jerusalem (spiritual Babylon) is also written in Rev 18:4 which was written a few years earlier before Jerusalem and the Temple's physical destruction.
"Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you not receive her plagues" *(Rev 18:4) was written of the O.T. Seals plagues poured out upon murderous Israel who was drunk in the blood of the saints, the Jews riding upon the BEAST of the Roman Government working together to murder Christians by the means of government… The very last chance the Christians had to come out of Babylon Jerusalem was when the Roman Legions with their promise of desolation was outside of the walls of Jerusalem for the final desolation of war. Mark 13:14 “When you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand [The Roman Legions who would soon bring desolation to the Temple Luke 21:20]), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” The first person “When you see” was the generation existing two millennia ago and not a future generation.
"Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ" is the context for escaping God's Wrath for the Day of the Lord fore-mentioned in 1Th 5:2.
Rev 1:10 where the "Lord's Day" is used is in CONTEXT the Great Wrath of God poured out by breaking the seals on the scroll of the O.T. in the "Day of the Lord." The Lord's Day and Day of the Lord are the same event in time for God's Wrath having been poured out on ancient Israel for rejecting their Messiah and Savior Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 13:9 “Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with Fury and burning Anger, To make the Land [Land of Israel] a Desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.” Roman Empire legally banned by law the Jews from Land of Israel in fulfillment of the Curse of God written in Dt 28:63. “The LAND” of Israel is the CONTEXT and EXTERMINATING SINNERS FROM IT is the fulfillment of the Law of Moses of the LAND “VOMITING OUT” the people of Israel from it which occurred 70 AD thru 135 AD. God has fulfilled His Day of the LORD of His WRATH two millennia ago.
Luke 19:27 “But these enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to Reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.” Jesus warns He will have the Jews exterminated and the land of Israel turned over to others as the price for not accepting Him as their King and Sovereign ruler. Jesus fulfilled His threat, circa 70 A.D.
Zephaniah 1:18* “Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the LORD’S wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.” “The earth” in this case of the “Day of the Lord” is defined the middle east O.T. Covenant Land/earth of Israel.
The “Promised Land” is described as “My Land,” God’s Land. Although the Jews were broken off of the Vine described as Jesus Himself, the Promised Land is remains
God promises to send Elijah the Prophet before the Day of the Lord. Malachi 4:5 “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.” Jesus said God KEPT HIS PROMISE and fulfilled the prophecy with John the Baptist who was symbolically, with the same Spirit of the Lord, “Elijah the Prophet.” Jesus said in Matthew 17:12-13 “but I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.” For those that dispute the WORD of Jesus, on the Mount of Transfiguration Elijah appeared to the disciples Mt 17:3 “And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.” The prophecy of Elijah coming before the Great Tribulation circa 70 A.D. was already fulfilled prophecy as Jesus had prophesied.
The idea of the Lord's Day in Rev 1:10 being a reference to Sunday is a common heretical mistake made by commentators because of their blind adherence of calling Sunday the “Lord's Day” when in fact Saturday is the Sabbath day and it violates hermeneutical contextual principles of exegesis of the meaning of Scripture. The Day of the Lord is also called the "Day of God,” it is the dark day of God’s Wrath in 2Peter 3:12 and also in Rev 16:14...
It is church tradition and NOT SCRIPTURAL to refer to the traditional SABBATH Day (Sunday formerly as the Saturday Sabbath observance of the Jews) as the “Lord's Day.” It is not a biblical synonym, and is only an inference of the importance of the Old Testament SABBATH. Instead of the weekly Saturday Sabbath, the New Testament has written "EVERY DAY IS THE LORD'S" (Romans 14:5-6) and only by Church Tradition Sunday is called the Lord's Day.
Jude 14-18 "And about these also Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones [myriads armies of angels], to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him” [against Him, taking the Kingdom of God from the Jews and giving it to Christians]. These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage. But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the Last-Time [time indicator of when End-Times of O.T. occurs, the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel, circa 70 A.D. just after Jesus Christ receives His Kingdom after His resurrection] there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.”
Mtt 24:21 “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.” [Noah’s Flood was truly a great tribulation worldwide, however Jesus was using the Hebrew idiom hyperbole of the intensity of God’s Wrath, the Jews had a covenant with God and broke it by murdering God’s Son, the people of Noah’s time did not have that covenant and were less guilty in God’s sight.] 22 “And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short” [The days were 1,260 days (Daniel 12:11-12) instead of the longer time of 1,335 days written by Daniel showing Jesus granted mercy to spare some of their lives as He promised.]. 23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him.” 24 “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.” 25 “Behold, I have told you in advance.” 26 “If therefore they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go forth, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.” 27 “For just as the lightning comes from the east, and flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.” 28 “Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.” 29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken, 30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes [12 tribes of ethnic Israel] of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.” [Only those who have blessed by the Messiah had spiritual eyes (1Cor 13:12) to see Jesus Christ when He (and with physical eyes when Jesus has returned physically Acts 1:11) when He returned, as He PROMISED, on Mt Olivet circa 70 A.D. which the Scriptures had written 1:11.] 31 “And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.” [Jesus “took captivity captive” taking the dead in Christ to Heaven from “Paradise.” To be absent from the Body of Christ is to be present with Jesus.] 32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree [end of natural fig tree branches which were CUT OFF as Jesus CURSED the FIG TREE representing natural Israel]: when its branch has already become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 even so you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.” Mtt 24:34 “Truly I say to you, THIS GENERATION [the first century people alive at the time Christ was speaking] will not pass away until ALL these things take place.” 35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away." [Both physical existence and a metaphor of the spiritual "bubble" (Heavens and Earth) where the Jews existed spiritually in. We exist on this physical earth and are simultaneously seated with Christ Jesus ruling in "Heavenly places" with Jesus Ephesians 1:3, 20; 2:6; 3:10]. [Why look for something that does not yet exist? Peter writes we are looking for the "New Heaven and New Earth" which is ALREADY CREATED, but we have yet to see.] 35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” 36 “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” 37 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." When Jesus came back in the life times of Caiaphas and others He warned, He killed them all, just as Noah’s generation was ALL killed in the Great World Wide Flood leaving only a handful of survivors (eight souls). According to extra biblical sources a third of the survivors of the destruction of Jerusalem survived as slaves in the Roman Empire.
The Preterist View follows the Biblical pattern of fulfilled prophecy. Jesus was speaking ONLY to His generation living before His crucifixion. Historical records back it up.
Mt 24:34* “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Mr 13:30* “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Mr 13:31 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Lu 21:32-33 “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
Mt 24 and Lu 21 are of the generation of the “Last Things” of the O.T. that were the fulfillment of “all things take place” including the Coming of Christ.
Jesus is already in the already created New Heaven making a “place” for each Christian, building the Body of Christ together as the architect and builder of the New City Jerusalem that is currently “under construction” (Heb 11:10).
"Day of God" in 2Peter 3:12-14 is not a reference to the collapsing physical universe but a SYMBOLIC statement of the spiritual dimension ending for the Jews, as formerly God’s chosen people then being eliminated and a “New Heaven and New Earth” being created for the Christians to exist in “Heavenly places” while physically existing here on earth simultaneously. Eph 2:6* “and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus.” Jesus is already in the New Heaven and New Earth making “a place for you” as He promised He would.
John 14:2-3 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Where Jesus Christ is NOW AT THIIS TIME IS IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING A PLACE for His Bride, living stone by living stone, and afterwards will return at the “Last Trumpet” for the FIRST RESURRECTION. Jesus is not going to take the Body of Christ in the Rapture or Resurrection to a different place, but to the place where HE EXISTS RIGHT NOW. Therefore the New Heavens and New Earth are already existing because that is where Jesus is right now at this time preparing a place for each believer where He already has His glorified body. 1John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.”
The hyperbole of a spiritual "heaven and earth" bubble spiritual dimension or place of existence for the Jews has passed away along with losing their Heavenly place with God and Jesus in the "day and hour" which has already come to pass (circa 70 A.D.).
1Tim 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron."
2Tim 3:1 "But realize this, that in the LAST DAYS difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these. 6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected as regards the faith. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, as also that of those two came to be."
Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, 46 and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; 48 and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. 49 “So it will be at the end of the age [2nd Coming of Jesus circa 70 A.D.]; the angels shall come forth, and take out the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 “Have you understood all these things?” They *said to Him, “Yes.” 52 And He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.”
THE TIMELINE OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL
Daniel 9:24-27
The Angel Gabriel gives Daniel a breakdown of the 70 weeks as follows:
7 weeks of years for rebuilding of Jerusalem (verse 25),
62 weeks of years to the Messiah (verses 25-26),
1 week (two half-weeks of the ministry of Jesus Christ and the second half of the week of the Apocalypse curse upon apostle Israel) of years to the close of the period of the Seventieth week of Daniel (verse 27).
Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city [JERUSALEM], to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, [ON THE CROSS Jesus made an end of sin for those who repent of sin] to make atonement [Lamb of God Jesus Christ ended sin's rule over Christians, allowing God’s forgiveness when there is repentance from sin] for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place [Messiah means “anointed One” and now Christ Jesus has an eternal anointing and of the new Temple of God Jesus Christ]. 25 “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. 26 “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing [CALVARY midweek], and the people of the prince [Nero] who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he [Caesar Nero initiated the Jewish War against Jerusalem] will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
Daniel's Seventieth Week, the first half-week of the ministry of Jesus recorded in Gospels and last half in the Great Tribulation written in the Apocalypse. Jesus ministry, including His death and resurrection was during the reign of Emperor Tiberius who died in 37AD. Forty years later the Great Tribulation was completed fulfilling the prophecy of the last half of the Seventieth Week of Daniel.

2Th 2:3-9
3 "Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he may be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8 And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness."
2Th 2:4 The statue of Emperor Caligula was ordered into the Jerusalem Temple as a desolation of the Temple (predating the 70 A.D. destruction). “The abomination of desolation” of the O.T. Jerusalem Temple also included Roman soldiers exposing themselves in the Temple and taking the Temple’s silver. The looting desolation of the Temple resulted in cleansing Jerusalem of all the Gentiles who were either killed or driven from the “Holy City” in fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy the city would no longer be tread down by pagan Gentiles. Luke 21:24b “Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” The context is “this generation” the generation that Christ was speaking to in context. The Jewish uprising killing the Roman garrison in Jerusalem and driving out the Gentiles so to make the city “holy” was fulfilled in 66 A.D. according to the historian Josephus. This “cleansing” the city Jerusalem of Gentiles prophecy was fulfilled in 66 A.D. Jerusalem has had Gentiles occupying the city until today. It is not a reference to the partial takeover of Jerusalem in 1967 A.D. where the gentiles remain the majority of the population of Jerusalem. Driving the gentiles out of the “holy city” of Jerusalem under the Emperor Caesar Nero whose name added up to “666,” was the context and fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus Christ.
Jewish relations with Rome severely deteriorated during the first century A.D., thanks in part to the irrational behavior of the emperor Gaius Caligula (37-41 CE). In 40 A.D., Gaius attempted to have his image placed in the Temple in Jerusalem, an act that could easily have incited an armed revolt in Judea. Fortunately, as Jewish Historian Josephus describes, the level-headed Roman governor Petronius managed to avoid violence.
2Th 2:8-12 Gaius Caligula slain by appearance of Jesus as verse 8 has written though documentation is lacking.
Verse 11 God "hardened the hearts" and sent a deceiving spirit so the people of Israel would be fully destroyed.
Verse 12 Jewish nation judged and cut off from Jesus the Vine, Root and offspring of David.
The final desolation of the city of Jerusalem and pollution of Temple Mount by the Romans resulted after a Jewish Temple destroyed with a temple to the god of Jupiter which was constructed right on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and idols of Roman gods were erected throughout the city of Jerusalem in a deliberate and malicious DEFILEMENT of the Jewish city Jerusalem in violation of God’s law.
The Great Tribulation lasts three and one half years (Rev 12:6 1,260 days) in fulfillment of 70th week of Daniel concluded circa 70 A.D.
Rev 12:6 Jesus told the Church to flee Jerusalem to hide for 1,260 days and God gave a place for her. It is the fulfillment for the "three and one half years," last half of the 70th Week of Daniel.
"Come out of her My People" (Rev 18:4).
Jesus gave His merciful command for Christians to save themselves and flee to safety the uttermost parts of the Roman Empire from the Roman Legions against “Babylon” Jerusalem and ESCAPE God's Judgment for Israel (Mt 24:16; Mark 13:14; Luke 21:21). The prophecy was fulfilled by Christ’s generation, Unfortunately, as history shows the Roman legions swept through Jordan and all of Israel. For safety the Christians would have had to flee to the distant parts, the extreme edge of the Roman Empire where there were few persecutions or places of refuge such as Philadelphia where God and Jesus spared them from persecution at that time.
Daniel 12:11 “And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.”
Daniel 12:12 “How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!”
The Book of Revelation, The Apocalypse of Jesus, is God’s Word. The commentators are wrong that heretically try to tie Daniel 12:11-12 to the time of Antiochus Epiphanes defiling the Temple and making it a desolation. Rev 12:6 Explicitly has written the 1,260 days are fulfilled in the time of theGreat Tribulation. History has written the Roman Empires war against Jerusalem lasted three and a half years.
Daniel 7:25, "time, times and a half".
Daniel 12:7, "time, times and a half".
Revelation 11:2, "42 months".
Revelation 11:3, "1260 days".
Revelation 12:6, "1260 days".
Revelation 12:14, "time, times and a half".
Revelation 13:5, "42 months"
The actual number of days of the Great Tribulation, circa 70 A.D., the Day of the LORD was cut down and reduced to 1260 days because of God’s MERCY, those terrible days of the Great Tribulation were cut short as written; Mt 24:22 “And unless those days had been shortened no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.” For “God LOVES MERCY!”
Biblical use of the 1260 days of the Apocalypse and in Daniel’s Prophecy.
Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”
A Time = 1 year
Times = 2 years
Dividing of Times = 1/2 year.
360 X 3 =1080 180 = 1260 days
Daniel 12:7 “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”
Rev 11:2 “But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”
Rev 11:3 “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Forty two months = 42 X 30 = 1260 days
Two hundred and threescore = 1260 days
Rev. 12:6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”
Rev. 12:14 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”
Rev. 13:5,8 “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months... and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 17; Luke 21: Jesus’ main emphasis in these four parallel chapters is to describe the Great Tribulation just before His appearing (gk parousia and not the Second Coming at the “Last Trumpet”). He predicted the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of its temple (Mt. 24:2) by the Roman armies in 70 AD. This tragedy of the siege of Jerusalem was fulfilled circa 70 A.D. (Joel 3:2, 12; Zeph 3:8; Zech 12:2-3; 14:2; Rev 16:14). Many details in these four chapters make it clear Jesus’ words describe the events of 70 AD.
The events at the end of the age. For example, Jesus describes the time of (Jacob’s Trouble is also same event as the Great Tribulation and it was the worst time possible in history for ancient Israel (Mt. 24:21) as it ends God’s covenant relationship terminated with Israel as the O.T. curse of the Law of Moses is fulfilled.
God shortens this time frame of the Great Tribulation, for the sake of the Christian elect to three and a half years in order to keep the them and the Jewish race (“all flesh or life of Israel of the earth/soil of Israel) from being physically killed Mt. 24:22). Jesus said this hour would come as a snare upon the entire earth (the soil/earth of Israel, (All those who dwell upon the face of the earth of Israel Lk. 21:35). “The world” was defined as the Roman World Empire stretching from Spain to Northern Africa.
Jesus said this time of tribulation would not happen until after we see the abomination of desolation (Mt. 24:15), which includes a Roman worldwide Antichrist worship system centered upon the 120 foot tall statue of Caesar Nero and image of the Antichrist, and the “666” spiritual mark of the beast Cesar Nero (Rev. 13:13-18). These prophecy details were fulfilled in the Jewish revolt against Rome (66-70 AD).
Da 12:11 “And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.” The “regular sacrifice” was abolished by Jesus The Lamb of God being the final sacrifice of the O.T. Jewish ceremonial system. The 1,290 days or “three and a one half years” until the “abomination of desolation set up” with the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the stones cast down where the gold melted into the cracks in the floors. The temple mount and the Holy Place of the Jewish Temple was desecrated and became the desolation for all of history since then.
Matthew 25 This chapter continues with the theme of Matthew 24. The events at the End of the Age are addressed through the description of how the end-time Church will prepare for that hour (Mt. 25:1-30). It then gives a description of Jesus judging the nations immediately following the presence of the appearing of our Lord Jesus (gk parousia) (Mt. 25:31-46).
There is a coming Resurrection, but there is not going to be a Pre-Tribulation RAPTURE where the Church is taken out of the world before the “Last Trumpet!” There is ONLY the Resurrection of the saints and the resurrection of the condemned. (Enoch did not "see" death as it happened too quickly, in a moment "twinkling of an eye" before his brain had time to process the event, because of God's love and mercy for him.)
Rev 4:1 is NOT SYMBOLIC of the THE PRETRIB RAPTURE! Apostle John alone, is defined by himself in context, is told to "come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things!" Jesus with the voice of the archangel as a trumpet gave John a unique invitation for a vision of the Apocalypse which Jesus wanted to inform the Church about that is also known as the Book of Revelation.
John 5:28-29 "the hour is coming in which ALL (not some or a few) WHO ARE IN THE GRAVES will HEAR HIS VOICE! And will come forth, those who have done good, to the Resurrection of LIFE, and those who have done evil, to the Resurrection of condemnation!" All people who have died will be eventually resurrected. Some resurrected to eternal life and some to everlasting shame and disgrace in “outer darkness.”
According to Jesus Himself using His Words the answer is NO! Jesus said there is coming a time when ALL (not the partial rapture of a few saints) ALL who are in the graves would come out, some to rise to live with everlasting life in Christ and some others rise to be eternally condemned exiled to outer darkness and the Second Death.
When Jesus appears a Second Time as Hebrew has written, then He will put ALL things to righteousness. Then the Adversary Satan and Sin will be absolutely resolved with Satan and the devils cast in the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death along with unrepentant humans that earned the wages of sin of such a terrible eternal status with God's Judgment against them. This appearance of King of Kings Jesus the "Second Time" is at the "Last Trumpet" when the Body of Christ puts on their new incorruptible bodies in the New Jerusalem in the New Heavens and the New Earth (1Th 4:13-17; 1Cor 15:50-53).
The eschatological heresy is summarized by John Nelson Darby with the "futurist" dispensational pre-tribulation Pre-Trib Rapture and then coming Great Tribulation and then The Second Coming, during that special Millennium, then more people are supposed to be saved after the second coming after the Church is already gone in a special Pre-Trib Rapture, then a millennium semi-golden age replete with (blasphemous because it implies Jesus did not end the sacrifices of the ceremonial law as prophesied to Daniel) temple and sacrifices with Jesus on the scene, then a great revolt eventually happens against Jesus where most of the peoples on earth will again perish.
Though John Darby was a Christian, this special Rapture doctrine is non biblical doctrine of demons, giving a false hope lulling the churches asleep by giving them the false promise or assurance Jesus will make everything right in a special “futurist” millennium when in fact the children’s minds and souls are being destroyed and the nation is being given over to their enemies by their NEGLIGENCE to establish God’s Law and God’s Kingdom here on earth now as we “rule and reign with Jesus” every day, now as it is called today.
The O.T. ceremonial sacrifices will not be memorialized in a 21st century rebuilt temple as they are a SHADOW of the truth and GOD wants N.T. saints to serve Him and Truth in His Marvelous Light. 1 Peter 2:9 "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness (also called you out of the O.T. shadows) into His marvelous Light."
It is BLASPHEMY of the Holy Spirit to say the sacrifices need to be restored in any way, shape or form today or tomorrow as Jesus ALREADY HAS FULFILLED ALL OF THE TYPES AND SHADOWS OF THE O.T. Sacrifices as the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world once and for all!
Those with Jesus are awaiting the Second Appearing of Jesus where He then ushers in the Kingdom in Full in the life to come, so there will be no more mourning, death, crying, or pain, in the New Heavens and New Earth. The hope of the believer is to reign with Christ today and also live in the “age to come” in the New Heavens and New Earth, being like Christ Himself with an immortal body (1Th 4:13-17; 1Cor 15:50-53).
The true Coming Golden Age is on the Streets of Gold of the New Heaven in the eternal Life to Come with Jesus Christ.
There is one biblical Rapture of the saints that occurs with the "First Resurrection" (1Th 4:13-17; 1Cor 15:50-53) and the Second Resurrection of shame and condemnation of the damned to eternal exile and outer darkness away from the presence of Jesus. All saints will come out of the graves at the "Last Trumpet." Not at the "first trumpet" of the Book of Revelation The Second Appearing is at the end of this time-space-continuum because the over-lapping domains of Heaven and Earth will now become one. All saints of all time from Adam and Eve to us will be caught up into the clouds, given our immortal bodies and forever will dwell with the Lord in the New Jerusalem in the New Heaven and New Earth (1Th 4:13-17; 1Cor 15:50-53).
Jesus said, "Do NOT be amazed at this there is coming a time when ALL who are in the grave will come out. Not a partial coming out of the graves then the rest of the peoples that eternally rejected Jesus later on, but “all” and some more that will be saved after the pretrib Rapture when the church is “gone” which is nonsense. It gives the false impression Christians need to do virtually nothing and after they are all raptured, Jesus will make Christians out of many whom are “left behind.”
It is a 19th century heretical idea popularized John Nelson Darby that there are two Comings, a secret Coming of Jesus, and that God has two different chosen peoples with two different plans necessitating two comings of Christ, and two different covenants. A secret coming and a Second Coming of Jesus seven years latter after a fairy tale version of the Great Tribulation.
God has always been one and ONLY one "chosen people" united in the Body of Christ beautifully connected through the cross, which is symbolized by the cultivated "Olive Tree" as written by Apostle Paul.
Apostle Peter in 1Peter 2:9 says, "You are a Chosen Family [of God]," "A Royal Priesthood" and in Revelation 17:14b "those who are with Him are called, CHOSEN, and faithful."
The "chosen people" today are Christians made up of Jews and Gentiles who believe, those who invite the Messiah Jesus into their hearts to be their Lord and Master.
God has always had ONLY one true chosen people united in Christ with YHWH revealed in His people in the Messiah Jesus Amen. It is determined on the fact whether you believe in faith in YHWH, the God of Israel revealed in Jesus Christ, and it does not depend upon a genetic, or ethnic background. In the O.T. believers who were foreigners were welcome in Israel, examples are Ruth, and Rahab the harlot who were believers and became part of ethnic Israel.
Jesus said to the Jews the Kingdom of God will be taken from you. "Therefore I say unto you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and be given to a nation producing the fruit of it" Mt 21:43. The fulfillment of the Scroll with Seven Seals of the O.T. with Jesus the Lamb of God breaking who came to fulfill the Law of God was the ONLY ONE qualified to break open the scroll's seals and received His Kingdom on Earth and is ruling today. The scroll with seven seals represents God and Jesus the Lamb taking the Kingdom of God away from the Jews and pouring out the O.T. Covenantal Curses listed in Dt 28 in fulfillment of ending God's covenant with the Jews who rejected their Messiah, the Lamb of God Jesus Christ.
In John 21:20-23 Jesus said Apostle John the Revelator of the Apocalypse would remain alive until His Coming circa 70 A.D. Jesus probably stood on Mt Olives in fulfillment of prophecy (Zec 14:4) circa 70 A.D. Since the "Day of the Lord" King Jesus has ruled the kings of all the earth (In the Day of the Lord (Zec 14:8; Rev 1:5).
Ezekiel 38 fulfillment of Gog and Magog is the Roman War against the Jews. All the nations of the Roman Empire in the middle east and north Africa were included in the roman legions. Only one out of twelve soldiers were from Italy. The rest of the Roman Empire’s legions were all foreign legions fulfilling the prophecy of all the nations came against Jerusalem so to destroy it (circa 70 A.D.).
Jesus said, "out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water." The saints being built together as the Bride of Christ as Christ makes a place for us in New Jerusalem is where we coexist and the rivers (Zec 14:8) of living water are flowing out of our "innermost being" (John 7:38).
Zechariah 14:18 God promises a "plague" upon those who do not go up to "New Jerusalem" to celebrate Jesus Christ our Spiritual Tabernacle that the Feast of Booths pointed to. This was a reference to the Jerusalem Temple sacrificial system until the time of the Messiah Jesus Christ who ended the Temple and the ceremonial sacrificial system that pointed to the Lamb of God who fulfilled all the prophecy of the Messiah.
Jesus was born on the “Feast of Booths” or Tabernacles as God and Jesus Christ is our house, our “Booth” our “Tabernacle” as we choose to dwell in Him. Jesus is our “Passover Lamb” protecting us from the curse of God and His destroying angel or death angels. Jesus was resurrection on the first day of the “Feast of First Fruits” and is the “First Born of Creation” fulfillment of the feast. Jesus baptizes Christians in fire and with the Holy Spirit on the feast of Pentecost. Pentecost means “50” which is the Jubilee year of freedom from debts and contracts. Jesus is the fulfillment of ALL of the Feasts on God’s Perfect Timetable.
The last half of the 70th Week of Daniel is fulfilled precisely by the “Great Tribulation” in the first century with the destruction of Jerusalem. Jesus “cut short” those days in order to show Mercy that some “flesh” of Jewish men and women would survive. Rev 11:17b has written after the chapters of the Great Tribulation and ALL the N.T. Scrolls Seals were broken open at that time. It is the doctrine of demons that it involves the 21st century. “These things happened” at the beginning of the rule and reign of Jesus Christ and NOT thousands of years after Jesus Christ begun His governance ruling the kings and nations of the Earth (Rev 1:5).
Zechariah 14:21 "there will no longer be a Canaanite in the House of the LORD of hosts in that Day." There are no pagans and none that are not "born again" nor "born from above" in Christ Jesus in the N.T. Jesus has absolute control over comes through Him to God the Father forever. There is no way to heaven other than the ONLY Way of Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Daniel 7:27 Prophecy of Israel is concluded with Christians put in charge of the "entire [civilized] world" of the ancient Holy Roman Empire in 312 A.D.
Multiple Millennium of political rule was granted by King Jesus to the saints, Christians, with the Holy Roman Empire's Millennium and the Christian Byzantine Empire, the Christian rule of Egypt for a Millennium (915 years as a Christian Egypt).
Today the American Christians actually oppose King Jesus in government and OPPOSE King Jesus in the schools and foolishly speculate they will eventually obey Jesus in the future, while they hypocritically oppose obeying King Jesus today in government and in the public schools. Though God and Jesus would be happy to provide the blessings of an American Millennium, the American Christian Lawyers, by opposing King Jesus in government in favor of legal polytheism and supporting the state religions, have ONLY BROUGHT GOD's JUDGMENT and HIS COMING WRATH UPON THE USA.
Jesus is suppose to be the “head of every man” however Jesus by Name has been removed as the “head” of The United States Government.
Revelation 20:4* “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the Beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” Though many Christians have been beheaded by the Roman Empire in history and by Muslims today, Rev 20:4 is a reference to making the constant choice to have “the mind of Christ” growing up into the Head of Jesus Christ and become qualified so to rule and reign today on earth with Christ Jesus, ruling the nations with a rod of iron” today. Removing the head of the carnal nature, “The Old man” and replacing it with the head of Jesus, the head of the Body of Christ.
The word “Thousand” is symbolic in some scripture contexts, such as “God owns the cattle on a thousand hills” meaning God owns ALL the cattle on the planet earth. Thousand is a metaphorical term for the infinite rule of Jesus everywhere and exercised anywhere He pleases. It may or may mean a very long time, such as the examples of the Millennial rule of the Holy Roman Empire. Jesus is ruling the kings and nations of the earth right now (Rev 1:5). It does not necessarily restrict the rule of Jesus to a mere Millennium as deceived Christians want to fantasize about. Therefore a “Thousand” years could mean a brief time or extending to all time in eternity. The great loss of the American Churches is to have opposed King Jesus Ruling now at this time and teaching the Christian Lawyers to oppose Christian Law and oppose God’s Kingdom on Earth, damning most children to “outer darkness” and damning the nation as sovereignty is being transferred to its enemies in the U.N. World Government until the nation is fully destroyed in WWIII.
It is unfortunate most American Christians oppose and have worked to ending the rule of Jesus over the nation identified clearly as His Name has been made illegal and Christians refuse to try to change the law, so that Satan is unleashed to destroy the nation as God’s punishment for ending the rule of Jesus over the USA by law. The early Americans thought they had sinned by turning from Christianity to the state religion of Civil Government. Today’s Christians embrace the “spirit of the world” and legal polytheism and indoctrinating the children in multiculturalism which all is working together for the eradication of Christianity everywhere as the nation slides into the dark tyranny of the U.N. World Government.
“God Loves Mercy” and He does not wish to punish the rebellious American Christians who oppose His rule of the nation, but He has no choice as there is NO repentance by the nation’s political and Christian leaders in their opposition to Christian Laws and having King Jesus rule as they call upon the Name of the Lord to be Saved in government and in the public schools. In ancient Israel when the leaders prayed to God, the nation was blessed, but today the USA government has made the “Name Above All Names,” “The Name of Jesus” “The Only Name under Heaven by which men may call upon so to be saved,” “Calling upon the Name of the Lord so to be saved” illegal by government chaplains and the gospel illegal in the public schools, damning the nation until it is fully destroyed decades from now (Col 3:17).
Eph 1:22* “And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as HEAD over all things to the church.”
Eph 4:15* “but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the HEAD, even Christ.”
Eph 5:23* “For the husband is the HEAD of the wife, as Christ also is the HEAD of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.”
Col 1:18* “He is also HEAD of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything.”
Col 2:10* “and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the HEAD over all rule and authority.”
Therefore the Scripture has written for those Christians who choose to make Jesus Christ their spiritual head and have the “mind of Christ,” are qualified to “rule and reign” with King Jesus today here on earth and over the nations in some cases.
By removing King Jesus as the head of the nation, and by opposing Christian Law and not legalizing the Name of Jesus in government prayer and in the public schools, the American Christian lawyers have brought the wrath of God upon the USA, resulting in God striking Washington D.C. with madness so they are working to destroy the future of the nation, in fulfillment of God’s Law written in Dt 28. Just as NAZI Germany went mad so Washington D.C. is going mad to destroy the nation and all removing all hope for the future of all nations in the U.N. World Government.
American Christians like to cry out "We are not children of God's Wrath." Then they should ask the question why do Christians deceive themselves so they would be willing to OBEY King Jesus in a fantasy fairy tale utopian version of the Millennium, but they are often NOT WILLING TO OBEY King of Kings Jesus TODAY in the U.S. Government and obey Jesus TODAY in the public schools while the spiritual genocide of the children is progressing towards 99% as the children turned from God and are thrust through the gates of hell into the Kingdom of Darkness, in most cases forever, by the public educational system and media???
If the American Christians who oppose Christian Law and oppose legalizing the Name of Jesus in prayers in the public schools instead supported God and King Jesus Christ's Kingdom on Earth today then they would not be the "children of disobedience" in rebellion to King Jesus. Eph 5:6 "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience." Christians are deceiving themselves that they would obey Jesus in a heretical special "Millennium" of the "Second Coming,” while almost all children and students are lost by being damned by the brainwashing in the public schools and media. It is the sin of hypocrisy, unbelief, hard-heartedness, rebellion to God and other sins.
The American Christians have deceived themselves by hiding in their churches while the children are being driven through the gates of hell as Martin Luther said they would be by the schools that they are not the children of wrath… God's punishment upon the American Christians will only grow worse and worse as the Law of God's curses listed in Dt 28 have written until the nation perishes... It truly will be a terrible and totally unnecessary curse to be ruled by the enemies of Christians in world government and then suffer the death of the nation by nuclear devastation sometime in the not so distant future.
Because the Book of Revelation is largely fulfilled prophecies it doesn’t take faith to watch things get worse; things do that all by themselves by opposing King Jesus and opposing His Kingdom on earth. Actually obeying King Jesus by Advancing the Kingdom of God takes faith.
The Bible was chained to the altars of the Catholic Church for a thousand years in the foreign language of Latin. It took a thousand years for ONE CHRISTIAN TO BE WILLING TO OBEY GOD and translate the Bible into the common language so the Christians could read and study the Word of God as the Bible commands.
The Premillennial Futurists use today’s media hype and the New York Times to confirm their antibiblical interpretation of the Bible.
The Postmillennial and Preterist Views use historical sources, “the Jerusalem Times” of 70 A.D. to confirm their correct interpretation of the Coming of Christ has already happened.
The loss of almost ALL the souls and minds of the children to the kingdom of darkness in the public schools is primarily the fault (Luke 6:40) of the Christian Teachers who refuse to obey Jesus in the public school classrooms and refuse to teach the gospel of Jesus and help to gather the children into His presence of His Holy Spirit and those who oppose Christian Law and are unwilling to work for a Christian USA so to save the children.
The loss of most of the souls to the Kingdom of Darkness of the next generation is sin against God and Jesus and the Christian Lawyers responsible will earn the "wages of sin which is death." If Christians were as "Christian" as they think they are, America would be lawfully a Christian nation by U.S. Law today!
The Christians teachers disobey Jesus who put the primary responsibility upon the teachers to train the children up in God’s Way so most would eventually become Christians instead of losing nearly all the children as they are turned from God by the hypocrisy of the teachers who are unwilling to be martyrs and witness to the children as the early church was commanded to do.
Acts 4 and Acts 5 has written the early disciples willing to suffer and die so to preach and TEACH in the Name of Jesus. Today’s Christians rather die or apathetically obey the antichrist government, rather then obeying Jesus in the public schools where the children’s souls and minds are turned from Jesus and instead are taught the official state religions of Civil Government and Secular Humanism and others.
Since the adult public school teachers have no respect of Jesus enough to obey Him in the classroom, the children perceive that Jesus is just a hypocritical fairy tell, or a lie or unworthy of their attention and so turn to other gods/devils and turn the souls of most children into the kingdom of darkness forever...
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel 9:24 "Your People" and Jerusalem the "Holy City" is where the special "chosen people" status of Israel was terminated at the fulfillment of the Seventy weeks, forever with the termination of God’s covenantal relationship with the installment of the New Testament Scroll of the in the Book of Revelation opened after the death and resurrection by the “Lamb who appeared slain.”
When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. the chosen people status of Israel was terminated forever, Israel whom had rejected the Messiah had become the enemies of God. Only those Jews who accepted the Messiah with the ONLY Covenant Jesus provided at the Last Supper called the New Testament N.T. are included with the Gentiles as the "chosen people" as Apostle Peter wrote.
There will not be a pre-tribulation Rapture or special Rapture occurring after the Great Tribulation of the Book of Revelation which occurred circa 70 A.D.
The Great Tribulation was the fulfillment of the Law of Moses with the termination curses written in Dt 28 carried out to the last letter of God's Law of the termination of His Covenant with Israel.
The Book of Revelation is written about the fulfillment of the Old Covenant and the beginning of the rule of King Jesus Christ in the New Covenant N.T. and the eternal rewards God has planned for those that Love Him. Amen
The failure of American Christians in the duty to God in Government is a non biblical SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY by the pretrib Christians that is due to their sin of rebellion and sin of unbelief. Because of the inaction of the American Christians THE USA WILL FALL TO RUIN AND UNDER THE CRUEL TYRANNY OF WORLD GOVERNMENT.
Unfortunately it is God's will the rebelling Christians destroy themselves, God is sending “Apollyon” destroyers against them and to destroy the nation because of their neglect of their duty for the salvation of the nation. The sin of Christians so to do nothing to have God's Kingdom and Government Here on Earth in the USA government and in the public schools is bringing God’s Wrath and not the theology of the Great Tribulation.
The Holy Spirit writes His Law upon our hearts and there is NO EXCUSE for Christian lawyers to oppose Christian law so most children are turned from Jesus and the nation, as a result, is being turned over to the enemies of Christians… It is truly the fault of the American Christians, for it is because of their neglect of their duty to Jesus in government and in the public schools for damning most children to lose their souls forever. American Christians will pay a terrible price for their sin of doing nothing to stop the fall of the USA before its enemies and the losing the souls and minds of most children to the Kingdom of Darkness.
The fall of the USA in the 21st century has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE Bible's BOOK OF REVELATION. The Book of Revelation is basically about the end of the Old Testament Covenant and revelation of the beginning of the rule of Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago. It is about a scroll that has seven seals broken open by the Lamb of God. It is also about the final termination and penalty clause written by Moses in Deuteronomy 28 that is carried out to the last letter of the Law of the Old Covenant/Testament circa 70 A.D.
The American Churches are sinning, in rebellion to King Jesus and to His ruling the nation, unlike the Founding American Colonies who let King Jesus influence their government and they were Christian by Law.
Today's American Christians need to be like the twenty-four elders who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God, saying, "We give thanks, O LORD GOD THE ALMIGHTY, WHO ART AND WHO WAS; BECAUSE THOU HAS TAKEN THY GREAT POWER AND ARE NOW REIGNING (Rev 11:17).” Jesus is REIGNING NOW TODAY and not delaying, waiting for some sort of a coming futurist fantasy utopia after a heretical version of the Book of Revelation supposedly comes to pass, after the future destruction of the USA as a nation.
King Jesus is doing a fine job of ruling today! It is the American Christian lawyers and leaders who oppose Christian Laws and who oppose King Jesus in government and are to be blamed for God's curse against the USA which will eventually culminate in its destruction.
God really doesn't want to destroy the USA but King Jesus demands the Christians repentance and as King Jesus was brought into Jerusalem shouting "Hosanna in the Highest," so American Christians will need to bring King Jesus into the U.S. Government in their hearts and minds and into the public schools teaching the gospel and then JESUS WILL SAVE US as a nation, as we "fight the good fight of faith" and "do what the hand finds to do." American Christianity opposing King Jesus in Law and His Kingdom on Earth in government and in the public schools will result in God's wrath against the USA.
Look at the hypocrisy of American Christians. Most deceive themselves they would eventually obey Jesus in government, in the distant far, far future, be willing then hypothetically to obey Jesus in a utopian future fantasy millennium, but they are NOT WILLING TO OBEY Jesus today in government and Obey King Jesus in the public schools and save their neighbors children and save the nation. In effect most American Christians sin and love the “spirit of the world” far more than they love Jesus in their everyday public lives and in their livelihood circumstances.
The early disciples were willing to break the law to “preach and teach in the Name of Jesus” and evangelize, but today’s Christians are willing to break the Law of Jesus and instead OBEY the anti-proselytizing laws of U.S. Law and the over-arching U.N. World Law which FORBIDS PROSELYTIZING by law in the U.N. Charter and treaties.
The early disciples were willing to die and suffer to preach and teach in the Name of Jesus in Acts 4, 5. But today’s Christians remain notably silent, in fear and sin by loving the spirit of the world while the Name of Jesus is banned by chaplains in government prayers and oppose teaching the gospel in faith and significant truth is banned from the public schools. There are sometimes hypocritical comparative religion classes taught in the public schools, but the public school teachers are prohibited from stating their beliefs that Jesus is God and endorsing Christianity over other religions. The public school’s “religion of Christianity” is in the context of teaching two other “equally valid” religions and greatly sin by “denying the faith” and “denying Jesus is God Incarnate and Lord before men” which results in eternal damnation (Mtt 10:33). The children being innocent and sensitive to all the sin of hypocrisy, become seeded in the hypocrisy and lies that Jesus is a “myth” and most students eventually are turned from God into the Kingdom of Darkness, at taxpayer expense!
In the O.T. Jesus came to fulfill the Law as Christ said and be the ultimate Lamb sacrifice for the sin of man. At that time, before the final sacrificial offering of Himself and the fulfillment of the O.T. prophecies of His earthly ministry He talked about the "Kingdom of God" being near and "at hand." The time for God and Christ's rule was ABOUT to begin, starting in Acts 1 when Christ ascended to heaven and was glorified and “sat down at the right hand of God His Father” and began to rule (“right hand” Mark 16:19; Acts 2:33-34; 5:31; 7:55-56; Eph 1:20; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; 10:12; 12:2; Mt 28:18).
Today’s churches sometimes act as if Jesus did not fulfill the prophecy and began to rule when He was glorified and sat down at the right hand of God His Father. The Scriptures have written Jesus did sit down and began to rule at the “right hand” of His Father’s throne.
Heb 1:3 “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Heb 10:12 “but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.”
Heb 12:2 “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Re 3:21 “He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
Mt 28:18 “Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
1Co 15:24-25 “Then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He [Jesus Christ] must REIGN [right now today] until He has put all His enemies under His feet.”
Christ did not have to wait for thousands of years for a Christian nation to come into existence to rule and reign over. Though this heretical delay is taught in the fantasy version of the Book of Revelation by John Nelson Darby. Successes such as the early American Christian Colonies and the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity in 312 A.D. shows Christ Jesus was then reigning and ruling two millennia ago and continues reigning the nations today, regardless of whatever type of government was or is currently in power (Rom 13:1).
Romans 13:1 “Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.” Whether Nero or Hitler, whether Christians fight to rule and reign with King Jesus or against Him for the state religion of Civil Government which the Christians perished under in ancient Rome, all nations’ governments are established by God. If Christians are not willing to support King Jesus in government, then they should NOT BE SURPRISED at the downfall of the nation and awful tyrannical consequences that result from their choices to oppose the establishment of the United States of America as a Christian nation by U.S. Law.
Some constitutions in the American Colonies covenanted with God so they might have Christian American Colonies, but they eventually turned against Christianity in order to have legal polytheism and the “new religion” of “Civil Government” from ancient Rome as the supreme religion of the new nation of The United States of America.
Some early founding fathers of the nation did believe Civil Government was NOT a religion and was “secular” or a “pure democracy” as James Madison said, but it actually was from the ancient state religion of the Roman Empire where the Christians were eventually persecuted and millions martyred. History is about to repeat itself after the enemies of God in the U.N. take full they authority granted to them by the U.S. Congress by treaties. However it has nothing to do with the Book of Revelation, but merely the consequences of deceived American Christians who either oppose a Christian nation and God’s Kingdom on Earth or simply do not care to obey King Jesus in matters of government and in the public schools letting their enemies have their desires fulfilled in government and have their way with the children in the public schools.
Since Christian Lawyers sinfully oppose legislating Christian Law and oppose the reign of King Jesus in government in a officially Christian nation, God and Jesus have turned to become the enemy of the USA, until the nation is ruined, plundered and eventually destroyed by its enemies in the U.N. Since there is no repentance by American Christian Lawyers and leaders there will not be any “repentance” by God Almighty and Jesus of their choosing to oppose America to its eventual death. To oppose King Jesus results in the death sentence of the nation, to support King Jesus results in life, liberty and blessings here on earth and in the next life in Heaven.
When the Supreme Court of the United States, SCOTUS ruled the ’Name of Jesus’ illegal in public prayers by government chaplains, the USA BROKE its COVENANT with an ultimate finality and damned most children to lose their eternal souls in the public schools, God and Jesus has become the enemy of the USA and is determined to destroy the USA and make it a radioactive desolation unless the nation “wakes up” and repents.
It was the command of Jesus to break the law so to “Preach and Teach in the Name of Jesus in Acts 5:29. The early disciples in Acts 4 and in Acts 5 were willing to break the law to “preach and teach in the Name of Jesus,” but today’s Christian public school teachers and lawyers would rather be ‘tolerant’ and disobey King Jesus for the sake of their enemies. It is BETTER TO OBEY GOD THAN MAN as commanded in the Bible (Acts 5:29). If the American Christians would fight the good fight of faith for Jesus to legalizing His Name and restore the covenant the USA once had with God and Jesus, then King Jesus would fight for American Christians and fight for the nation and save us. If you lay hold of the true prophecies of Jesus, if you will “fight the good fight of faith” for Jesus, then King Jesus will fight for you and fight for the children and the life of the nation, according to His prophecies and WORD (1Timothy 1:18).
1Timothy 6:12* “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
It seems American Christians want to sin and believe heretical lies, church traditions, instead of believing Christ Jesus is actually ruling and reigning right now and instead of working with Him and cooperating with the Holy Spirit so to pass righteous Christian laws legalizing the gospel so gospel may be taught as TRUTH in the public schools for the purpose of bring God’s Blessings upon the nation and saving the souls of children. Choosing instead of working to save the nation from its enemies, Christians choose the sins of rebellion and unbelief, stubbornly hardening their hearts, resulting in no hope for most children and no hope for the nation’s future forever.
The Churches are mostly lost in some sort of RAPTURE FANTASY FAIRY TALE ESCAPISM, "Pie in the Sky" reality avoidance heresy. The Bible and history has written God is NOT going to bring about future fantasy utopia versions of His government on Earth. God has to deal today with sinful men in government. There were a few good kings of ancient Israel that were godly and righteous, however many kings were evil and treacherously moving ancient Israel to partake in legal polytheism which resulted in the loss of the nation's sovereignty over their land and eventually God fulfilling His Wrath of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) which describes the Last half of the week of Daniel's seventy weeks and the time King Jesus began to rule!!!
The “Great Tribulation” is “Jacob’s Trouble” and not the “Gentiles’ Trouble” or some fanciful “Americans’ Trouble.” The Great Tribulation is a reference to the final culmination and fulfillment of the Old Testament Covenant as Jesus said was His immediate mission two millennia ago as Christ died to give a New Testament Covenant that terminated tribal Israel as His chosen people…
As a result of disbelief and sinful heresies of a escapism-rapture, Christians are denied their opportunity to "ruling and reigning with Christ" right now and the nation is doomed by God's Judgment so to be enslaved in a few decades by its enemies for perhaps centuries to come under the inevitable future tyranny of the U.N. World Government.
If one wants to be "Raptured" and be caught up to God, all one has to do is "walk with God" as Enoch did and one will escape death and be taken out of this world (Hebrews 11:5).
However American Christians are so deceived that they are not even willing to let King Jesus rule in the oxymoronic polytheistic-secular civil government nor in the public schools. As a result there is NO CHANCE for the American church being prematurely RAPTURED by God and King Jesus for what time remains for life on earth to exist.
The Rapture should be viewed as the same event as the "Last Trumpet" Resurrection when ALL Christians rise up in the air to be with the Lord Jesus forever (1Cor 15:52). Christians must daily walk by faith with God as Enoch walked with God, and God will then translate them also at the “Last Trumpet” Resurrection as "Jesus is always the same."
Christ Jesus said at the "Last Supper" He would eat and drink with His Apostles again in a few days after His Resurrection, which would be a sign Jesus had received His Kingdom on Earth (fulfilled in John 21:12-14). Peter also verified Jesus had received His Kingdom on Earth said in Acts 10:41b we "who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead." Jesus started ruling two millennia ago and is unwilling to fulfill the pretrib heresies of the American Christians who do not want to obey King Jesus today in Government and save the children with the gospel in the public schools. Enoch obeyed God by faith and the American Christians whom oppose His Kingdom in the public schools destroying the souls of most children expect to be prematurely raptured? Definitely not!
American Christians, are being sinful in their rebellion to King Jesus and deceive themselves to say eating and drinking with the physical resurrected Christ was not the fulfillment of Christ's Words of receiving His Kingdom after the resurrection. The sin of unbelief is the reason why Israel was hated by God in the wilderness and utterly damned forever because of it. For similar reasons the sin of unbelief is why the American Christians are hated by God and King Jesus for failing to "rule and reign with Christ" in America, damning most children’s souls and are utterly damned by God because of it.
Most American Christians sin by rejecting a Christian government and as a result are destroying the souls of their neighbors' children by default in the public schools. Those guilty of the sin of being apathetic Christians have also damned themselves and damned future generations to God’s coming WRATH against the nation. The public schools’ annual budget of a Trillion dollars USD is largely a TITANIC peer group pressure indoctrination program by the government Civil Government in LGBT dogmas and other lies against the Bible by the public educational indoctrination system so they have turned most the children from God into the kingdom of darkness with the official state religions of civil government and secular humanism.
In Mt 23:15 Jesus says the tendency is for teachers with lost souls to make the children twice as evil as themselves with their teachings, so the drive in public schools is to turn the children away from Jesus and Truth is explained by spiritual warfare as demons get influence in the teachers and over the public school curriculum. By Luciferian design and in unbelief the Trillion USD public indoctrination educational system is driving Christianity to literal extinction in the USA in a few generations. Statistics show as few as 4% of those born since 1977 A.D. are Christians.
For the purpose to oppose Jesus and to utterly corrupt society and to bring the great WRATH OF GOD against the nation, Civil Government makes it a hate crime to teach against LGBT+TQQFAGPBDSM behaviors for individuals. Wesleyan University defines the 15 letters to stand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, flexual, asexual, genderf***, polyamourous, bondage/disciple, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism, in that order. To utterly corrupt the souls of men is what the educational system does, particularly in immoral behavior in college dorms. The Bible forbids corrupting the children with immorality. The U.S. Government has made obedience and indoctrination of its state religion of Civil Government greater and more important than the Creator of the Universe God Almighty and Jesus. As Jesus said then and it remains true today, the public school teachers make their students “twice the son of the devil as themselves.”
Acts 1:3 For FORTY DAYS the resurrected Christ Jesus taught on the earthly doctrine of SUPREME INTEREST to HIM, the Kingdom of God! Jesus majored on the doctrine of His Kingdom on Earth! That supremely important subject to Jesus Christ was the "Kingdom of God." God's government here on earth is God SUPREME interest for Christians, for God desires obedience and NOT sacrifice. The FINAL QUESTION of the well trained apostles was the key question when and where the political Kingdom of Jesus was to be established, and whether it was to be the original Israel?
After FORTY DAYS of teaching primarily on the Kingdom of God as actual political nation(s) on earth was and is so important to God and Jesus it was the chief subject taught. As a result of intensive teaching the apostles made their last and most relevant question on the political sovereignty of Israel as a possibly restored independent nation. Since destroying Israel a few years later was God’s judgment, as the Apocalypse has written (written circa 66 A.D.), Jesus avoided answering the last recorded question at that time saying there would be a NUMBER OF CHRISTIAN NATIONS to look forward to in the future in His “times and seasons” of Christian nations answer (Acts 1:6-7). It is truly unfortunate the USA chose not to be a Christian nation and to be utterly damned and ultimately destroyed forever…
The doctrine of God and Jesus having political kingdoms/nations actually on earth as Israel was historically, or true theocracies, is of supreme importance, so much so it was the primary doctrine taught after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:6-7).
The Apostles, at the conclusion of their intensive weeks of seminars on God's Government on Earth, political nations as the Kingdom of God, asked Jesus if the national sovereignty of Israel would be restored and the Romans be removed from ruling Israel? Jesus answered there were a number of "times and seasons" or "times and epochs" (Acts 1:7) of Christian governments and Christian nations by law planned by His Father on earth as God's Kingdom on Earth. A number of biblical “Millenniums" or Millennia of Christ's rule of or with Christian nations on earth starting with the Christian Roman Empire ruled by Jesus Christ beginning in 312 A.D.
Christ Jesus started His first Christian nation by giving the entire Roman Empire to the Christians to rule in 312 A.D. The Christians, as ancient Israel played the harlot and there were good and bad kings and popes, however it did last more than a thousand years. “Thousand years” in the Bible is a metaphor for eternity. Jesus KEPT HIS PROMISE OF HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH FOR A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. The Millennial rule of Jesus is actually symbolic for all of eternity, now and for all time King Jesus will reign.
Just as ancient Israel wanted to turn against God and played the harlot as foreign nations did, so did New Testament Christians in early America who turned from Christianity to the worldly state religion of Civil Government which is intrinsically hostile to Christianity as Thomas Jefferson said. In France, as the early United States, threw off their restraints and turned from Christianity to the state religion of atheism where they put a beautiful woman on the altar of the church and declared her to be the new state religion of atheism or reason and she needed to be worshipped instead of Christianity. History shows Civil Government will ultimately degenerate the people become a new Babylon, harlots turning to other gods and turning away from the Living God Jesus Christ.
Jesus said there would be a number of future Christian nations, and the American Christians chose instead to deceive themselves and deceived others so they would not have God's Millennium of God's Blessings of King Jesus ruling in the American government and in the nation today.
God gave several Millennial Christian nations and empires to be ruled by Christians in recorded history, proving Himself to be "Faithful and True" repeatedly. Egypt had a Christian government for over a thousand years. So also the Holy Roman Empire lasted over a thousand years, a Millennium figuratively. Also the Byzantine Empire had a Christian government for over a thousand years, a "Millennium." God repeatedly FULFILLED His promise and prophecy of a millennium a number of times over because He is faithful. However the USA has no biblical Millennium to look forward to, BECAUSE the American Christians have rejected King Jesus and legislating Christian Law and having a Christian Nation in favor of unbiblical fairy tales and in their hearts not wanting Jesus in government though it may cost them their lives. The American Christians re-soundingly filled themselves with rebellion and teach each other deceptions opposing King Jesus saving them and their neighbors children in the USA Government, so that God has no choice but to throw the USA into hands of God's enemies in the U.N. to be ruled under a global tyrannical nightmare, similar to God’s judgment upon ancient Israel in Babylon as they were punished, that will eventually end as life perishes on earth sometime in the future. To refuse King Jesus His right to rule America and instead favoring the state religion of Civil Government and legal polytheism is worthy of death.
The facts of science shows life on earth may have as little as a thousand years left to exist. As the earth's protective magnetic field is rapidly collapsing as the earth’s spinning inner core slowly "grinds to a halt" relative to the outer crust by the resistance of molten magma/lava making most life impossible to exist on earth in a few centuries. (The magnetic North Pole is NOT MOVING, as would be expected if there were an imminent flip of the magnetic field as a gyroscope flips.) There is NO possible scientific alternative then the coming final end of the magnetic field, just as Mars, Venus, Mercury all have lost their magnetic fields.
The fatal coming lack of the environmental sustaining life protective magnetic field around the earth should wake up Christians there is only a few years left to have God’s Kingdom on Earth and a Christian nation.
The heretical Rapture-Millennium doctrine is the doctrine of demons for there is literally NOT A THOUSAND YEARS LEFT ON EARTH FOR LIFE TO EXIST if the facts science are to be believed!
Unless there is a divine miracle restoring the earth's environment, King Jesus could not possibly reign from earthly Jerusalem for a literal Millennium as there is NOT even a thousand years of time for the existence of self-sustainable life left upon earth with the scientific fact of the current rapid permanent collapse of the earth’s magnetic field.
One could note the earth’s major oil deposits that have been radiocarbon dated all DATE THE SAME DATE of Noah’s Flood (Wikipedia). The teacher priests of the science classrooms all say this is just an “unexplainable coincidence.” Since God destroyed almost all life with Noah’s Flood, His decision to soon destroy the apostate United States, who has rejected God’s kind offer of mercy to have a Christian nation, and reducing it to radioactive ashes by the weapons of its enemies should be expected. America has rejected more of God’s light, truth and facts than any other nation in all of recorded history on earth and as a result its soon punishment will be correspondingly more severe. For those who are not mastered by demons in their thinking, the reason all the major oil deposits date the same is because they all happened at the same time just as the Bible has written.
Historically as God being "Faithful and True,” did allow Satan to leave the pit and destroy the nations after the "thousand years were over" and the Byzantine empire and Egypt were all destroyed by the Muslim devils, as Jesus would say as Christ also called religious people and Judas "a devil."
Jesus would be happy to spare the USA and lock and bind Satan in the "pit" for another millennium, but most American Christians insist upon believing lies, doctrines of demons, deceptions and insist upon opposing the rule of King Jesus in government and in the public schools until the children are almost all damned, their souls lost forever and the nation soon ruined and destroyed. Just as King Solomon and ancient Israel had peace from its enemies, so America could have peace from its enemies by God’s Command. If ONLY the American Christians would stop opposing the Kingdom of God and Jesus on Earth and stop opposing Christian Law legalizing the Name of Jesus in prayer by government chaplains and legalize the gospel of Jesus taught in the public schools so it could be taught as truth instead of myth among pagan religions. But the American Christians would rather die spiritually and die by the weapons of its enemies instead of OBEYING King Jesus in government and saving the children and saving the nation by obeying King Jesus in government.
The Partial-Preterist doctrine is the true interpretation and teaching of the Book of Revelation. The Preterist View The sense of destiny to take the nations with the Gospel motivates believers to take dominion in every sphere of life with missionary zeal.
Pastor John Hagee on TBN said, "after the last bomb, after the last assault, when the last soldier fires the last gun shot, when it is all over, the flag of David and Israel will fly and bravely wave in victory over Jerusalem." This belief is probably true, as I also believe God and Jesus would move (almost) all of heaven and earth to save the Jews, if they were willing to be saved and believe in their Messiah Jesus. Romans 11:28 "Concerning the Gospel the Jews are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of patriarchs. For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable." God and Jesus Christ will continue to CALL the natural Jews He foreknew until the end. The mercy God gives through Christians Romans 11:31, that the Jews may obtain mercy." God expects Christians to show mercy to the Jews, as well as giving mercy to all unbelievers whom God foreknew. Jesus said, "Love your enemies" and the non-messianic Jews are usually enemies of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I find the miracles of God awesome and so incredibly wonderful. God gave the armies of modern Israel such mercy and grace with God's power so they reached Cairo and the "River of Egypt" the Nile River, which was the property promised to Abraham in Genesis 15:18 and not some dried up creek bed (called the brook or wadi of Egypt today), but the actual Nile River in Egypt was promised to Abraham and to his seed.
Unfortunately the USA has chosen to become the enemy of God and ordered Israel to retreat from Cairo, forming the current boundary of Israel and lost God's victory for them provided by God's love of the Bible patriarchs.
The idea that a Jerusalem, Israel Temple is required at this time biblically to fulfill prophecy, as written in the Book of Revelation, on the site of Solomon's Temple is heretical and ludicrous. There is categorically NO biblical support for a new Jewish temple in the ultimate analysis. The Scriptures are NOT made up of a mere man's ideas, but God’s very BREATH. ONLY the HOLY SPIRIT's interpretation will stand the test of TRUTH 2Peter 1:20-21.
The Bible has written “The former things will be forgotten.” Jesus is the ONLY memorial Christians will ever need in eternity and not an animal sacrificial system that never did please Him (Hebrews 10:8).
Jesus said to the Samaritan woman there would be coming a day when worship at Jerusalem would not be of a matter of God's Law. It is NO LONGER required to worship God at the Temple Mount with a physical Temple. The idea that God would contradict Himself and have a Jewish memorial temple in Jerusalem on the temple mount, is anti-biblical. As God said, God does not dwell in artificial temples made by man. In the New Testament as “You are the Temple of God!"
Acts 7:48 "The Most High does NOT DWELL in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: "Heaven is My Throne, and earth is My Footstool. What house will you build for Me? Says the LORD."
God required natural stones for His altar and not manually cut shaped stones for His altars which sent the message: "YOU can do NOTHING" artificial to enhance the worship experience with God that is commanded by Him, though sometimes as David's idea of a stone building pleased God. God requires you to worship Him in "Spirit and Truth." Most of Christianity has artificial ideas and sometimes as Cain (had a wrong doctrine idea for religion) who killed Abel, today's Christian denominations sometimes hate Christians who "worship in Spirit and Truth."
The Temple of Solomon, though God said it was a "GOOD" idea that David wanted to build a temple, it was NOT of God's design as the Tabernacle in the wilderness was. God had commanded the Tabernacle to be built and that was the final status of God's Temple in the O.T. The Temple of God that Jehovah wanted was David's body and his seed, that is Christ the true "Temple of God."
However just as King Saul was chosen because they rejected God and His prophet Samuel, the Jerusalem Temple was a secondary choice by God. God said it was good and gave the plans for the Temple to David (1Chronicles 28:12).
In 1Chronicles 21:29-30 King David was "AFRAID" of the angel of the LORD" that was in the presence of the TABERNACLE Moses built, which was decaying and David who was afraid of facing God’s angel, like Cain and the Jews of Christ's time had a "better idea" that was just plain wrong and NOT God's “first will” PLAN and WORD. God's perfect plan was to continue the Tabernacle's operation and have the ancient nation of Israel ruled by Jehovah's chosen PROPHETS and JUDGES as Samuel. However Israel, dissatisfied with God's rule, rejected Prophet Samuel and rejected God as He said He was also REJECTED by ISRAEL as their King of Kings. Because King David was "AFRAID" to obey what Moses had been told by God, King David had a "good" idea and avoid that dangerous and very frightening angel with a sword (1Ch21:30) that was stationed at the tabernacle to kill him for disobeying God, or so that is what King David seemed to believe was true (apparently David was unwilling to restore Israel as a theocracy ruled by the prophets). It should be obvious the "angel of the Lord" was there at the Temple waiting for King David and Israel to repent and seek God's Word through His prophets and go on with the fight of faith with the "angel of the Lord" as it was in the beginning. God and Jesus does not change His Mind (Hebrews 13:8). However God does make the best of things and agreed with King David for his son Solomon to build Him a house of worship.
1Chronicles 21:30 "But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was TERRIFIED by the SWORD of the ANGEL of the LORD." So instead of refurbishing the Tabernacle and its ceremonial sacrifices, as Moses would have done and restored the Prophets ruling of Israel as the Book of Judges has written to seek God's Word, King David thought instead he could substitute this great sacrifice of his idea and on the Jerusalem mount the Temple would be so big and impress God so much that God would be "sure" to bless them. It was true to some extent that David and Israel was blessed, however as soon as the Temple was consecrated and open, within one generation the nation was divided and eventually destroyed from the land of Israel. God's Better idea of the Tabernacle (Plan "A"), as told to Moses, would have helped focus the allegiance and bonding of the people's hearts to God and to the nation. What God tells you to do the first time is what you need to do for God's perfect will or plan "A." King Saul and the line of Kings of Israel was man's rejection of a true theocracy ruled by the Prophets and then Levite priests until the final Lamb of God Sacrifice, the Passover Lamb of Jesus Christ.
God loves mercy and gave David the plans in David’s spirit how to design and build the new city Jerusalem Temple (mind-spirit in Hebrew 1Ch 28:11-12).
God would have preferred King David not to be afraid of the angel and possibly losing out as King of Israel. God’s clear Will was to have restored the Tabernacle Prophet Judge system as Prophet Samuel leading Israel with the Divine Word of YHWH, but God loves mercy and God gave King David a plan “B” for the Jerusalem Temple in the spirit and mind of David. The King system of Israel was a plan “B” of God resulting in a work around of Israel’s rebellion and unbelief so the Messiah Jesus would arrive in “the fulness of time.”
God's perfect plan today is to have Apostle-Prophet Judges, men “after God’s own heart,” to rule and reign with Jesus over all the nations instead of the supreme world state religion of Civil Government used in the Roman Empire to persecute and kill the Christians, as it is again today doing. Plan "B" of the generic Christian Constitutional Amendment will bring King Jesus into government by “calling upon His Name” in government prayers and restore God's blessings upon the nation and help save the children by teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the public schools. The Christian Amendment is God’s “WAY OF ESCAPE” for America bring salvation and God’s grace and mercy to its future…
A first step for national salvation, if there are any righteous Christians left in the USA, is to advocate the ChristianAmendment.com which allows for freedom of conscience and prohibits government interference, favoritism or control of all Christian religions. It is regrettable the Christian Amendment has no "religious test for office," due to the rebellion of the American Christians, so Jews, muslims and other religions may run for political offices government. However it is our hope and prayer that Godly people will be elected that will be friendly toward working with King Jesus in their decisions, receive His wisdom and so make a better life and choices for future generations. Teaching basic Bible morals as Thomas Jefferson did and allowing children to pray in public schools would all be possible again, depending upon the godly character of those elected and the judicial candidates that are confirmed or elected by you, the final judge in government, the American citizens. Amen
The Christian Amendment, at minimum, would legalize the Name of Jesus (Col 3:17 Command "Do ALL in the Name of Jesus") to be called upon in prayer in the public schools and save the children with a generic gospel taught as Thomas Jefferson did. Also the Christian Amendment would break the USA free from the coming certain tyranny of the U.N. by breaking all unbiblical treaties with God's enemies (Dt 7:2)...
"David was a man after God's own heart," and yet God managed to achieve His perfect will for His Messiah and salvation for those who call upon His Name of Jesus." However there are ALWAYS consequences for DISOBEYING God in one's personal life and religion.
The correct Old Covenant procedure would have been for King David to employ the PROPHET-JUDGE of ISRAEL, such as the prophet Nathan and inquired what God's Will really was, if King David was actually interested, as the prophet-judge would have done God’s appointed work at the Tabernacle and restarted the commanded ceremonial observances at the Tabernacle until further notice from God. Amen
Jesus said, “My sheep Hear My Voice” and when Jesus speaks, He expects to be OBEYED. Jesus usually will not speak to those who do not want to hear what He has to say, or they would obey what Jesus has to say.
That is WHAT GOD WANTED, not just another "good" idea of a sinful man (Prophet King David) who was afraid to obey God. God's wants His Will performed by us and not our substitute ideas for religion. Amen
However God gave grace to Israel despite their leaders sins and failures to obey Him. When God tells the PROPHET to move the TABERNACLE, or do something else such as build a manufactured building, then it would have been God's perfect will, Plan "A." However God's plan "B" with the Christian Amendment is the best the American Christians may hope for in this life in the U.S. Government.
King David "thought" it would be alright to build a temple where he talked with the Lord on the temple mount, and it would be a "good" substitute for obeying God (Since God put His plan "B" into David's heart instead of His Prophets ruling (plan "A) as in the Book of Judges). For it was extremely frightening to actually to go into the presence of God at the Tabernacle decaying in the wilderness, needing of great repair and maintenance. There is no Scriptural record of Moses telling Israel to abandon the Tabernacle and make up their own "good" ideas or choose ungodly kings instead of how to worship God in true government and using the wealth God gave to have the Levites educate Israel to worship and to Love God with all their hearts.
God “loves mercy” and gives grace, "Working ALL Things Together For Good" for His predestined purpose and His work is completed in Christ (Romans 8:28). This is exampled by Christ Jesus calling Herod's Temple, His "Father's House" as their sacrifices and offerings of man's ideas of temple construction had been accepted by God's Grace so He could complete His work for the salvation of those men and women willing to be saved and love Him.
Unfortunately, due to the sin of rebellion against God and Jesus, the USA is perishing, having rejected God's Kingdom here on earth and rejected King Jesus in government, and rejected Christian Laws, loving their own lives, and "sitting on their own hands" just trying to "enjoy life," while almost everyone's souls are perishing in the public schools in the growing tyrannical power of the forbidden U.N. World Government.
The American Churches are taking on a "defeatist attitude" making up their own heretical "ideas" Plans "B" to "Z" with their imaginations on what God really wants deceiving themselves and others by saying "it is impossible" to do anything stop abortions of babies and pass laws against immorality and evil, when in fact God is punishing the churches for not doing what God has commanded to be done. Passing laws on marriage and preventing the abortion of innocent lives cannot be passed into law without King Jesus fighting for His Kingdom. The Name of Jesus is illegal to be used by government chaplains in prayers in the U.S. Congress making Jesus an enemy of the nation. The Bible commands “DO ALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS” (Col 3:17). Fighting against Christian Law is bringing about the ruin of the United States.
Working for King Jesus in a democracy, while there is yet time is POSSIBLE, it may be done, or God would not be punishing the American churches for their failure to hear and to obey Him.
"The Impossible," is POSSIBLE today, as God's "Judgment starts at the House of God." Amen "What is NOT OF FAITH IS SIN," and if God leads you to support the Christian Constitutional Amendment at ChristianAmendment.com or something else politically effective to establish His Kingdom, that is of real FAITH that God has given to you in your heart, it is God's COMMAND for you to fulfill your DUTY to God and to the nation.
Christians choose defeatism instead of obeying Jesus who would not punish the American Christians if they decided to be willing to believe the Holy Spirit and work for a Christian America to save the children and save the nation.
Christians sometimes dwell in rebellion and self pity instead of supporting Christian Laws and King Jesus in a Christian America by Law. Opposing King Jesus in government and His Government on Earth is what Christian Lawyers in the USA have decided to do and God's great Judgment is against the United States sending the nation into centuries of rule by His enemies in the United Nations Kingdom of Darkness. Repent, Save yourselves! Do What The hand finds to do! The ungodly attitude that failure is inevitable, making up their minds, that “its hopeless" or "nothing can be done" is the sin of UNBELIEF, instead of believing God and discipling the children is possible and something that can be done. In fact the truth is most Christians could do something to advocate King Jesus ruling in government with the generic ChristianAmendment.com and work to establish His Kingdom on Earth as the early American Colonies tried to do with all of their hearts and strength Amen.
Jesus expects ALL Christians to "fight the good fight of faith" and NOT be in rebellion opposing God's Kingdom on Earth and King Jesus in Government with Christian Laws! Amen
Ezekiel has written the foreigners among the tribes of Israel would own land in prophecy and when the Jews returned, the foreigners were indeed owning the land for the most part, though the Jews were allowed to buy and sell land and continued to do so until Rome destroyed the Jews and the city of Jerusalem. After God’s punishment by their Babylon captivity, Israel was NEVER AGAIN A SOVEREIGN NATION by covenant. It was a spiritual “down hill” trip for Israel after they lost their national sovereignty from the return of Israel from Babylon where they refused to put away their foreign pagan wives and finally so corrupted they murdered their Messiah. The “silent years” of the centuries until the birth of Christ showed that God was UNWILLING to even speak by prophets to the rebellious Israel tribes, though a remnant remained faithful.
Today’s country of Israel is a political gift of Pres. Harry Truman and is NOT the result of prophecies in the Bible.
God's plan "B" for working with a sinful nation of ancient Israel proved successful and God obtained His "MEDIATOR," Jesus Christ as His "firewall" between God's Holiness and sinful men and women.
Ezekiel 40-43 the new temple refers to Christ Jesus, the temple of God and describes "types and shadow" of Christ." The "six feet" thick walls are not literal, but the number "six" has the typological significance of representing mankind existing in Christ Jesus, the man of God being the "walls," the clothing of all saints. The "Palm Trees" represent "Paradise" on the walls of Ezekiel's temple. Restoring the fallen people who delight in God's presence and fear His Name into the "Garden of Paradise" as Jesus said on the Cross or the Garden of Eden is God's Plan "A."
Today the truly FOOLISH idea to build a new Jewish temple on the temple mount, and start the sacrifices again, just so the antichrist can stand in it in Jerusalem in a heretical version of the Apocalypse, is just a delusional idea of wayward sinful men who love their own ideas. It is the doctrines of demons, INSTEAD of loving God's ideas and His WORD. Demons want men to blaspheme God saying the Temple's sacrificial ceremonial system of righteousness and propitiation of sins is necessary, instead of Jesus the Lamb of God who has entirely fulfilled the ceremonial sacrificial system forever.
In the New Covenant of the New Testament, GOD WANTS the living sacrifice of your bodies sanctification in holiness in His daily serviceRomans 12:1. Not some bloody dead animals with their throats cut in useless rituals as Christ, the Lamb of God has made the ultimate sacrifice (1Samuel 15:22, Psalm 51:16, Hosea 6:6; 8:13). When the TRUTH is rejected no other sacrifice is possible as written in Hebrews 10:26.
Although future prophecies such as Satan being thrown into the Lake of Fire are not yet fulfilled, MOST of the Book of Revelation is FULFILLED PROPHECY. The theological hermeneutical doctrine is called "partial preterism," because only some, NOT ALL, prophecies of the Book of Revelation have been fulfilled. The “Beast” Caesar Nero and the False Prophet are ALREADY BEING TORMENTED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE and will continue to be tormented forever Amen (Rev 20:10).
Prophecy such as Rev 12:10 "And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuses the saints before our God day and night."
Satan has been “cast down” from Heaven forever. Satan has been demoted from the “king of the world” to “the PRINCE of the power of the air.” Eph 2:1-2 “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.” Though once a king over the kings of the earth, Satan has been DEMOTED to being a prince of the power of the air or to even a lower status since the Apocalypse was mostly fulfilled.
Jesus is the Holy Spirit of Prophecy, the "Alpha and Omega," the beginning and end of all things. To be wrong in prophecy is to be wrong about Jesus Christ Himself. "Hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy" (Rev 19:10b). Amen
As Jesus is "The Truth," to sin and believe a lie in prophecy harms your relationship with God and Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "either you are for Me or against Me!" Also Jesus said, "Many are called, few are chosen," so it is always just a few Christians that believe the TRUTH and most people who love lies, darkness, deceptions and walk away from God into the darkness forever. Amen
Daniel 2 Nebuchadnezzar's Statue Interpretation
1. The statue's gold head - Babylon [is Nebuchadnezzar]
2. The statue's breast and arms - [is Media- Persia co-rule]
3. The statue's brass belly and bronze thighs - Persia [is Alexander the Great]
4. The statue's iron legs - Greece [e.g. upper and lower legs or Four greek generals = Four empires including the primary Seleucids and Ptolemies]
5. The statue's feet partly of iron and partly of molded clay - The Seleucids and the Ptolemies [ or both feet ROMAM EMPIRE east Roman empire and west Roman empire]
6. 1Cor 10:4 Jesus Christ is the Rock Mountain that falls and smashes the statue altogether representing all of mankind's empires of all history [converted in 312 A.D.] is a.k.a Jesus Christ who received His Kingdom and has been smashing nations ever since Acts Chapter One when He sat down at the right hand of His Father and began to rule the kings and nations of the earth.
Daniel 2:34-35 “You continued looking until a stone [CHRIST] was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone [CHRIST] that struck the statue [statue representing man’s empires] became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Zechariah 14:16 “Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.…” God is NOT mandating everyone go up Mount Zion of physical Jerusalem, Israel. It should be obvious all the nations of the earth could not fit in the physical city of Jerusalem. God is mandating the nations go up the spiritual Mount Zion where the “lively stones” of New Jerusalem, the hearts, spirits and souls of Christians world wide are working by faith to go up to the spiritual mountain of Christ, the true Mount Zion. Christ is trying to fill the whole Earth with His mountain Daniel 2: 34-35. Unfortunately the harlot Christians error in unbelief are continuing their opposing King Jesus Christ from ruling and filling the whole Earth with Christ the glory of God the Father. Therefore because of the rebellion and sin of unbelief of Christians, they continue to oppose a Christian nation by U.S. Law and are reaping the consequences of what they have done. This is evidenced by 94% of the graduates of the public schools not believing in Jesus. The students are usually damned to eternal exile and the nation is CURSED by King Jesus Christ for opposing His rule and reign over the nation and CURSED for failing to follow and serve King Jesus in government and preach and teach in the Name of Jesus in the public schools (Acts 4:18-20).
Because of the heresy of opposing God and Christ’s Kingdom on Earth today by U.S. Law, the growing threat of WW3 is looming on the horizon and will be inevitable because of God and Christ Wrath against the harlot Christians who oppose Christian Law.
Christ is the “Glory of God.” As King Jesus Christ is served, or not served in government and in the public schools as generally the case in the USA, the glory of God is manifested in Christ’s sovereign judgment against the American people and against America.
Christ is the Glory of God the fills the entire earth (Isaiah 6:3).
Habakkuk 2:14 “For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.” The glory of Christ is being revealed in us and Christians are commanded to be a “city of light” upon a hill, shining God’s Glory in Christ in the mountain of Christ that is filling the whole Earth, shining out into the spiritual darkness. America is called to be a nation of God and Christ’s Light shining out into the spiritual darkness, leading the Christians around the Earth to salvation in Jesus Christ.
Matthew 5:14 “You are the Light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” American Christians are to serve King Jesus in Government and in the public schools and are not hide their light and forbid the Gospel of Jesus Christ from being taught to the children as truth. There is terrible judgment building up against the USA from its enemies around the Earth if Christians will not serve King Jesus in government and in the public schools so to try to save the children and save America.
John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory [Christ], glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and Truth.” King Jesus Christ is the “Glory of God.” Christ is the “Glory of God” (John 11:40; 17:24; 13:31-32; Matthew 25:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6; 2 Peter 1:17).
Daniel 2:32 "As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, v33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay."
Please note the ENTIRE Head is the one king Nebuchadnezzar, the breast and arms are the combined kingdom of the Medes and Persians.
The Vision's Statue's Belly is Alexander the Great, ONE MAN again as Nebuchadnezzar, the thighs are the two primary generals of Alexander which are the two major kingdoms, which the two major kingdoms, the Seleucids and Ptolemies, and the calves the two minor generals and their minor kingdoms (four kingdoms with their kings).
The statue's legs are iron, the upper and lower legs are 4 major parts or kingdoms/empires of Alexander the Great's four surviving generals that broke up his kingdom into four empires, until the time of the government of the feet.
The statue's feet in Daniel 42 "And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
The statue's feet are spoken in the partly broken. The feet are spoken in the grammar as KINGDOM SINGULAR and not plural. The feet and toes are all part of the same materials and part of the body therefore the same ancient Roman Empire which was eventually ruled by King Jesus the Rock... 1Co 10:4 “and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual ROCK which followed them; and the ROCK was Christ.”
The Roman Empire was iron in some areas and miry clay in some areas. The quality and intensity of government varied around the Roman Empire. Therefore the transition from iron areas to miry clay areas all in the same foot and feet. The Roman empire's rule was strong as iron in some areas and had weaker rule symbolized by the clay parts of the feet.
The "ten toes" of the statue are mentioned as the same as the body of the feet, partly strong and partly broken singular kingdom as part of the "divided" Roman empire. The number "Ten" metaphor represents the WORLD in Bible typology and numerology. The "ten toes" represent the TEN IMPERIAL PROVINCES of the Roman Empire which was then called the world. The biblical definition of “world” includes "civilized world." When the gospel was preached to the ends of the world this was representative of Pentecost pilgrims in Acts 2 from Spain and the outer reaches of the civilized world.
The "ten toes" or TEN imperial provinces of the Roman Empire included: Italy, Achaia, Asia, Syria/Judea, Egypt, Africa, Spain, Gaul, Britain, Germany. The heresy of the ten regions of the USA or ten regions of the U.N. is irrelevant to the beginning of the rule and reign of Jesus Christ from His Holy Mountain that has already grown to fill the earth.
Miry clay is mentioned in both v41-v42 "divided" and "broken" areas both of the same kingdom.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel's prophecy timeline is consistent with Christ receiving His Kingdom, smashing the nations, and ruling and reigning right now as written in 1Cor 15 and reigning for two millennia and today as written in 1Cor 15 and Revelation ch1 "the king, or prince" of the rulers of the nations, even before the judgment upon the 2 local churches in Asia by God Almighty and Jesus before the "seals" on the scroll are broken open, so to signify and enact God's Wrath and the Wrath of the Lamb’s terrible judgment upon Israel whose branches were broken off from Jesus the Vine, the axe was chopping down the tribal nation of Israel (Luke 3:9), as it was already laid to the roots cutting off Israel from the Old Testament covenant circa 70 A.D. Forty years after the Cross, in Bible numerology, the number forty speaks of a time for testing, as Israel in the wilderness under Moses was given God's test. Amen
Rev 11:17 has written the seals of the Apocalypse O.T. scroll were all unsealed at the BEGINNING OF THE RULE OF JESUS CHRIST two millennia ago!!! Not during the middle or "end" of the rule of Christ on earth. All the seals of Revelation’s Scroll were broken OPEN at the BEGINNING of the Reign of Jesus.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city [At the conclusion of the seventy weeks the O.T. covenant of tribal Israel was CONCLUDED and the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy was completed: the (unholy) city of Jerusalem was destroyed in the seventieth week circa A.D. 70], To finish the transgression [the O.T. covenant was COMPLETED and BROKEN by ancient Israel the transgressions ended with the Revelation's Scroll curses of Dt 28 poured out on tribal Israel, ending the O.T. and tribal Israel as God's "chosen people" (though Israel is beloved for the patriarchs' sake Rom 11)], To make an end of sins [Christ became sin for us, we are no longer slaves to sin, which repented of are no longer accredited to us], to make reconciliation for iniquity [Christ Jesus made reconciliation for our iniquity], To bring in everlasting righteousness [Christ established His kingdom on earth, and everlasting righteousness on the New Earth where He prepares a place for each believer, as promised at the Last Supper when Christ Jesus ate and drank with the apostles a few days later as He promised (fulfilled in John 21:12-14)]. To seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy" [the vision was sealed until the beginning of the seventieth week starting with Psalm Sunday and finally completed and ended with the destruction of Jerusalem].
Rev 22:10 "Do NOT seal the words of the prophecy of this book (book in the greek biblion for the book of Revelation and not the greek word biblos for the entire large Book of Books of all the O.T. and N.T. Books in the Bible), for the time is at hand." Daniel 9:24 was sealed for centuries, Rev 22:10 was NOT sealed up for the time of the Apocalypse, the unveiling and return of King Jesus was close at hand circa 70 A.D. when the curses of Moses' Law (Dt 28) were all poured out and completely fulfilled. This was all completed during the time of the beginning of the rule of King Jesus at His Apocalypse revelation to all the first century saints.
The conquering saints who overcame evil as Jesus did, were commanded to rule and reign with King Jesus in Rev 20:4 after the great tribulation of the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:24).
Revelation 2:26* “And he who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS.” Failure to do the deeds of Jesus until the end will result in God’s authority over the nations being revoked.
Revelation 17:14* “These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
The covenantal curses were ended in the first century A.D. against Israel and a veil put over their eyes and heart so they could not see until they repented, if ever, and the veil would be removed as they accept Jesus the Messiah.
Christ Jesus is doing a good job of ruling today, the Creator and His Son Jesus rule with an "iron rod" and rule just perfectly. It is the American Christians who choose to brainwash themselves with the doctrines of demons, so they are in rebellion opposing the Kingdom of Jesus on Earth, that are the problem (such as claiming heretical lies as truth, such as the seventy weeks of Daniel are not yet completed and lies such as Christians don't have to do anything, but "sit on their hands" for a Christian nation to happen). God is always the same and as ancient Israel's example was fighting for every square inch of the Promised Land. The USA today needs Christians to fight the good fight of faith diligently as the Holy Spirit leads each Christian, for every square inch of the land of America with the Christian Amendment found at ChristianAmendment.com.
Unfortunately the Christian lawyers are united in their sin of unbelief and rebellion to King Jesus in Government and in the public schools and by default, destroying the children's souls and giving the nation over to God's enemies in the U.N. The ruin of the nation is NOT GOD's fault, it is the Christians who refused to "rule and reign with Christ" that are the problem and the blame rests upon the American Christian Lawyers who embrace legal polytheism, and the High Temples of the State Established Religions of 1) Secular Humanism (including LGBT lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transvestite sensitivity brainwashing) judged to be a religion by the Supreme Court. 2) Evolution of Life from ancient Egypt, an antiscience religion that opposes the facts, disregards science, invalidates double blind testing of hypotheses and trains the children in the doctrines of demons instead of the facts of science. 3) The religion of Civil Government as Thomas Jefferson defined it was a hostile religion to Christianity that he advocated. 4) Globalism the religion of the U.N. World Government where they deceive themselves and the children, their enemies will rule them for good and not for evil disregarding all the facts of recorded history and against the Bible that prohibits treaties with God's enemies. 5) The religion of predatory capitalism of the idol of infinite greed at the cost of "selling men's minds, souls and bodies" for money instead of fair products sold at fair prices condemned with "double punishment" in the Bible. The public schools are the High Temples of the State Religions, the educational system, are teaching a trillion dollars of lies and the doctrines of demons, enticing the children to damn their souls forever and are succeeding, so the near total genocide of Christian will be mostly achieved in future generations.
It is NOT the fault of King Jesus, it is the fault of the Christians who opposed Him to the point of damning of the children's souls and the gradual ruin and coming destruction of the USA by the U.N.
Please note: it is NOT BIBLICAL PROPHECY driving the USA to build an evil world government, it is the worldly Christians who want to believe a lie of a heretical perversion of the “Millennium” and the "Second Coming" sitting on their hands doing nothing and letting the evil grow unchecked until it destroys all hope for everyone on earth. Without your obedience to King Jesus in government and in the public schools, the Holy Spirit says, the United States will continue for years under the rule of our enemies, because we would not have King Jesus rule "If you will not have Me rule over you then you will have your enemies rule over you." Amen
The ONLY reference to Jesus appearing a SECOND TIME or "Second Coming" is in Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of man [on the cross at Calvary as the Lamb of God]. To those who EAGERLY wait for Him He will appear a SECOND TIME, apart from sin, [on the cross Christ became a curse for us as the sinless lamb of God] for SALVATION." [at the Last Trumpet of life on earth at the resurrection (1Cor 15:52), "those who endure to the end shall be saved (Mtt 10:22)."]
The USA should be a Christian nation by Law or a Polytheistic USA by Law, the decision is yours.
Basically "LAST DAYS," "the end of the age," "end times" and other biblical jargon refers to the END of the OLD Testament and the Beginning of the New Testament which does not have a scroll with seven seals as depicted in the Book of Revelation. That scroll is the termination and fulfillment of the Old Testament. Jesus told the high priest and His disciples they would see the Son of Man coming on the Clouds" in THEIR LIFETIMES, circa 70 A.D.
Mark 9:1 "And He was saying to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are ALIVE NOW STANDING HERE [those actually listening to Christ speak] who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God AFTER IT HAS COME [some of those who remained alive after Christ was resurrected] after it has come with power.” The Kingdom of God on Earth came with Holy Ghost power, signs and wonders after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ… It was not delayed for millennia for a mythical heretical version of the Book of Revelation Millennium… The Christians are without excuse…
In Hebrew Old Testament Eschatology, there were two “ages.” “The present age” and the “age to come” after the Messiah came and begin to rule the kings of the earth (Rev 1:5). It is unbiblical to sinfully suggest there is a postponement to a heretical fantasy Millennium before the “age to come” is implemented or as some delay the “age to come” as the afterlife in eternity.
Christ had taught the generation of those living at the time of His mortal life must see the Kingdom of God by being born again and some would even live to definitely see Christ come in the Apocalypse and stand on the Mount of Olives as Christ prophesied to the High Priest Caiaphas.
In Luke 21:22 “Christ warns it will be a terrible time of despair and longing to see Christ reigning, but it would eventually be seen by those standing their alive at the time Christ was speaking. “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it” (circa 70 A.D.).
Luke 21:27 As Noah’s “Flood came and destroyed them all,” so the Great Tribulation of the Apocalypse “revealing” of King Jesus would destroy Israel for the price and wages of sin of rejecting King Jesus Christ, murdering the Son of God so to keep Him from reigning over them.
Luke 9:27 Jesus said, “But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
Luke 17:20* Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22 And He said to the disciples, “The days shall come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. [The disciples then would “not see it,” for they were commanded to flee for their lives to the mountains (Luke 21:21) the first day when when they saw the Roman Legions surrounding the city of Jerusalem (Luke 21:20) to execute the WRATH OF GOD as Roman general Titus believed.]
23 “And they will say to you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go away, and do not run after them.
24 “For just as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. [Jacob’s Trouble and the Great Tribulation will be God’s Wrath upon the city of Jerusalem and upon the Jews from one horizon to the other horizon]. [There would NOT be actual lightning flashing across the entire sky, however the Roman siege was the result of the Wrath of God as General Titus believed, who led the Roman armies, made up and composed of the nations of the Roman Empire against Israel.]
25 “But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it shall be also in the days of the Son of Man:
27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
29 but on the day that Lot went out [Christians commanded to flee the City of Jerusalem] from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. [Jesus told Caiaphas the high priest he would see King Jesus coming upon the clouds, symbolic of the WRATH and not necessarily the actual flesh body of Jesus.] [Jesus loves mercy and perhaps Caiaphas repented and as Christians see Jesus “through a glass darkly” perhaps Caiaphas became a Christian. Or perhaps Caiaphas the high priest, was allowed to see Jesus standing upon the Mt of Olives in a possible fulfillment of the Words of Jesus and the prophecy of Zechariah 14:4. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy, whether we understand it or not.]
31 “On that day, let not the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house go down to take them away; and likewise let not the one who is in the field turn back. [There was no “Rapture,” as Jesus had previously commanded the Christians to flee for their lives to the mountains and warns those who remained in Jerusalem were going to be killed by the Roman Legions]
32 “Remember Lot’s wife.
33 “Whoever seeks to keep his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life shall preserve it. [This is Jesus saying those who die for Him will inherit eternal life in the context of the Great Tribulation by the Romans also written in the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ.]
34 “I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 “There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
36 [“Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”]
37 And answering they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also will the vultures be gathered.” [This is not a premature Rapture, but God’s Wrath poured out upon that generation to whom Jesus was speaking to.]
The disciples asked where Christians would be taken, and Jesus replied, if they remained in Jerusalem, their lives would be taken in death and their bodies would be food for the “vultures.” Luke 21:27 “Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”
The “Last Days” Scripture:
Isa 2:2 “Now it will come about that In the LAST DAYS, The Mountain of the House [Christ the Temple of God] of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.” The ROCK in Daniel 2:35 is Christ Jesus who smashed Nebuchadnezzar headed statue representing the kingdoms and empires of mankind and replaced them with the spiritual Mountain Zion with Jesus ruling in spiritual Jerusalem with “all the nations streaming to it.”
Jeremiah 23:20 “The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the LAST DAYS you will clearly understand it.”
In the Last Days when the Great Tribulation comes upon them in the Apocalypse, the revealing of the reign of King Jesus (Rev 11:17) when all the seals of the N.T. Scroll were opened by the Testator, the “Lamb as if slain.” Just as today when the “Last Will and Testament” is read immediately after the death of the person who wrote it the “Last Will and New Testament” of Christ the Lamb of God who was slain was opened up and the punishments written in Dt 28 of the Curses of God which were then poured out upon Israel who rejected their Messiah and King. Luke 29:27 “But these enemies of Mine [Israel and the Jews], who did not want Me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [kill them all] them in My presence.”
Eze 38:16 “and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It will come about in the LAST DAYS that I shall bring you against My land, in order that the nations may know Me when I shall be sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.” The “Last Days” are a reference to the fulfillment of the O.T. in 70 A.D. where the nations listed in Battle of Armageddon are part of the Roman Legions that came against Jerusalem (circa 70 A.D.). Only one out of twelve soldiers were Roman, the rest were from the “world’s” nations of the Roman Empire listed in the Bible that came against ancient Israel to destroy them circa 70 A.D.
The Ezekiel 38-39 middle eastern nations of Gog, Magog, Rosh, Meschech, Tubal, Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer and Togarmah (KJV spellings) were all part of the Roman Legions that were recruited to come against Israel circa 70 A.D. also referenced in Rev 16:16 called Armageddon.
Ezekiel 37 sets the scriptural context of Ezekiel chapter 38. Ezekiel talks about the spiritual deadness of the “valley of dry bones” that God breathed His Spirit into and brought them to life with a “New Spirit” and puts His Holy Spirit within them. This prophecy of Ezekiel 37 is of the New Testament where Jesus and His Father are actually in believers as Jesus promised. Jesus promised Christians, and Messianic Jews who God foreknew, who would be willing to obey and dwell with Him forever would have His Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Therefore Ezekiel 38 fulfillment is circa 70 A.D. with the Great Tribulation and Jacob’s Trouble.
Hosea 3:5 “Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.” Many Jews will become Messianic Christians in the LAST DAYS.
Micah 4:1 “And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it.” The Scripture is NOT describing a physical mountain in the middle east but the Temple and House of God in His Son Jesus and the Body of Christ.
Acts 2:17 “‘AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says, ‘THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS.”
2Ti 3:1 “But realize this, that in the LAST DAYS difficult times will come.”
Heb 1:2 “in these LAST DAYS has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world."
The Last Days were the last days of the ceremonial sacrificial system and the last days before the Hebrews were cut off from the Vine of Jesus. The "LAST DAYS" started two millennia ago!!!
The Last Days is a reference to the end fulfillment of the Law of God and fulfillment of the Old Testament. It included the threat of Jesus to take away the Kingdom of God from Israel and their branches broken off Jesus Christ, the root and offspring of David.
1John 2:18 "Children, it is the LAST HOUR; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour." It was the "Last Hour" before the O.T. scroll's seals were broken open and the fulfillment of the Old Covenant according to the "Spirit of God's Law." The “number” of the antichrist of the “Beast” is “666” translated from the Hebrew language into english is “Caesar Nero.”
God could not make it plainer by the vocabulary, grammar, and intent of proclaiming the rule of King Jesus Christ and God’s Judgment upon ancient Israel, beginning in the first century A.D.
Romans 16:20 "And the God of peace will SOON crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." Jesus accused the Pharisees of doing what their father the devil trained them to do. Rev 2:9; 3:9 Jesus calls the Jews the synagogue of Satan TWICE!!! The Jews were crushed under the feet of Jesus as He tread on the winepress of God's Wrath which are our feet as we exist in Christ. The Church, the woman clothed with the sun of righteousness with the moon under her feet, the "moon" symbolized the O.T. and apostate Jews under her feet. "Crushing Satan's head" circa 70 A.D.
The “Day of the Lord” will have no spiritual light of hope in it. It will be all darkness and God’s Wrath. Here are a few Scriptures that highlight the ferocity of God’s Wrath against Israel, “Jacob’s Trouble and performed in “The Day of the Lord” (Luke 19:27).
Amos 5:18-20 “Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light; As when a man flees from a lion, And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall, And a snake bites him. Will not the day of the LORD be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?”
Romans 13:12 “The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand [after the Day of the Lord]. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
James 5:8 “You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand [Day of the Lord].” Jesus promised to return and have His enemies the Jews slaughtered for rejecting His Ruling over them.
1Pe 4:7 “The end of all things is at hand [Day of the Lord]; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer."
Rev 1:3 "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR" [Day of the Lord 70 A.D. "Rachel's Trouble" and "Great Tribulation" for the Jews].
Rev 22:10 And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near ["Day of the Lord" "Great Tribulation" circa 70 A.D.].
America has HOPE if you will have faith in God and Love the Truth and presence of the Holy Spirit in your thoughts and life and let King Jesus rule our hearts, lives, public schools and petitioned by the Name of Jesus in government chaplains’ prayers in Congress.
Now Jews must believe and take into their hearts the Messiah and Truth for what He is, or be exiled forever. Jesus Christ fulfilled over three hundred prophecies of the O.T. as witnessed in the four gospels of the N.T. Only God Incarnate, the Messiah could have accomplished that miraculous achievement of fulfilling all those prophecies. Christianity is the only intelligent religion and that is why Jesus is the “ONLY WISE GOD.” Romans 16:27 “to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”
It is unscriptural to assume Daniel's vision of Christ's as the "Rock" smashing the statue growing to fill the entire earth would be delayed past the breaking the seals on the Old Testament Covenant which happened circa 70 A.D. or shortly before, or perhaps as "late" as 312 A.D. with the Christian conversion of the entire Roman Empire.
The "Seventy Weeks" of years of Daniel perfectly coincides with the Christ's earthly ministry grand finale of Palm "sunday," when King Jesus rode into Jerusalem to fulfill the last week of His human ministry as the Lamb of God and be crucified.
The last half of the week is the Great Tribulation, the conclusion of the Old Testament, the End of the Age, the End Times of the Old Covenant. This happens while the New Testament is just beginning.
As Jesus said, "All Authority, or KJV's "All Power" has been given to Him and He has been "smashing the nations," making them "into His footstool" (1Cor 15:25-27) until the end of man's existence upon the Earth when Jesus would give the nations to Earth when Jesus would give the nations to the Father who would be "all in all" Forever Amen.
As Jesus told Peter, the Apostle John whom He loved would remain alive until He returned at the Apocalypse of the closing of the Old Testament Covenant.
After "smashing" the power and rule of all the earth's empires on His Growing Mountain and governs His Kingdom on Earth. Christ's Kingdom fills the entire earth ruling all the nations and kings right now today (1 Cor 15:25).
Rev 1:5 "and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the RULER of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loves us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; [NOW AT THIS TIME CHRIST THE KING RULES!] 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever." Amen.
Rev 12:5 Jesus was "caught up to God and His THRONE" in Acts 1 in His ascension into the clouds and "sat down at the right hand of the Father." Jesus is ruling and reigning RIGHT NOW and is "smashing the nations with a rod of iron" (Rev 2:27; 19:15 "rod of iron"). This includes the coming SMASHING THE USA, unless the CHRISTIAN LAWYERS REPENT OF OPPOSING CHRISTIAN LAWS, repent of OPPOSING A CHRISTIAN NATION, AND repent of THEIR OPPOSITION TO GOD'S KINGDOM HERE ON EARTH IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOLS.
Jesus taught on His supreme doctrine of “The Kingdom of God” for forty days after His resurrection. The apostles fully understood it to mean to have a Christian nation then, or later in time starting with the conversion of the Roman Empire starting in 312 A.D. Todays’ harlot Christians would rather listen to other “voices” or “seducing spirits” of legal polytheism destroying the souls and minds of the children and driving Christianity to oblivion, instead of putting King Jesus on the throne in the public schools teaching the gospel and legalizing the Name of Jesus above all Names in prayers by the government chaplains and leaders of the United States (Acts 5:29; Col 3:17). Either break the laws of men, as the early Apostles did so to “preach and teach in the Name of Jesus,” or CHANGE THE LAW WITH THE CHRISTIAN AMERICA AMENDMENT.
Put King Jesus on the throne of your heart, your family, church and nation…
Revelation chapter one comes before chapter two and the Great and Terrible JUDGMENT DAY [when the punishment legal clause of the old covenant-contract carried out in circa 70 A.D. era] of the Lord."
When Jesus "took captivity captive," the compartment of Hades called "Paradise" or "bosom of Abraham" was no longer needed and hell was "cast into the Lake of Fire." Rev 20:14
Right now those who do not accept the Creator's gracious offer of eternal life are automatically cast into outer darkness or perhaps into the Lake of Fire with no "purgatory" fantasy delays.
The Resurrection, the hope of the church in 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 is where we get our new bodies in the RESURRECTION 1Corinthians 15:24-55 and dwell forever in the New Jerusalem where King Jesus is building an eternal place for us to dwell. This is the RESURRECTION where in v55 "death is swallowed up in victory."
In the termination and fulfillment of the Old Covenant the last half of the week of Daniel was completed circa 70 A.D. The Revelation 6:2 White Horse rider (King Jesus) was given to take "peace from the earth." Jesus prophetically said, "I did NOT come to bring PEACE, but a SWORD.” Matthew 10:34 "Do NOT think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have NOT come to bring PEACE, but a sword." Therefore Revelation 6:2 is a fulfillment of King Jesus taking the peace from the earth because of the terrible wrath of God poured out upon the Jewish people who rejected their true Passover Lamb of God, Jesus Christ the Messiah.
In Revelation 6:2 the White Horse rider was given a CROWN and ONLY CHRIST JESUS is in HEAVEN, ONLY Jesus was seen the Father and ONLY Jesus is capable of receiving a ruling CROWN to reign over the earth. The rest of the horses in Rev 6 are angels given various tasks of slaughter and destruction on earth to carry out. Jesus is the White Horse rider and comes from Heaven. The devil and his angels have been driven out of heaven because Jesus rules now in Heaven and on Earth.
In Revelation 6:2 the White Horse Rider holds a “bow” to conquer the nations in contrast to King Jesus having the SWORD OF THE WORD of God in His Mouth to dialog and cut to the innermost thoughts of one’s heart so people will be reasonable and repent once their sins are exposed or they will die if they refuse God’s ultimatum.
Isaiah 49:2 “And He has made My MOUTH like a sharp SWORD; In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me, And He has also made Me a select ARROW; He has hidden Me in His QUIVER.” This prophecy is fulfilled in Rev 6:2 and in Rev 1:16; 2:16; 19:15. The rider on the White Horse in Rev 2:6 is Jesus Christ who was made figuratively into “a select ARROW” for the Bow He is carrying. There is much fulfilled prophecy in the Apocalypse and the “Rider on the White Horse” is the fulfilled prophecy of Jesus Christ who is also made into God’s Arrow to fire from the Bow destroying His enemies.
Re 1:16* “And in His right hand He held seven stars; and out of His MOUTH came a sharp two-edged SWORD; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.”
Re 2:16* “‘Repent therefore; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the SWORD of My MOUTH.’”
Re 19:15* “And from His MOUTH comes a sharp SWORD, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will RULE them with a ROD OF IRON; and He treads the wine press of the fierce WRATH of God, the Almighty.”
Rev 19:8 "to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints." As Christians know it is Christ who clothes us and He is our righteousness, and without being clothed with Christ one will be cast out of Heaven into outer darkness (Matthew 22:12). "The righteous acts of the saints" whom are to be clothed with Christ and the Armor of God."
Jesus commanded to go out to the highways to compel/force invite people to attend the wedding banquet of the Lamb (Luke 14:23; Mt 22:9-10). Jesus said at the Last Supper He would be in His Kingdom a few days later after the resurrection (fulfilled in John 21:12-14). Jesus was ruling in His Kingdom a few days later after the resurrection and it was not delayed according to the words of Jesus. Rev 19:9 is another description of the Lord's table (1Cor 10:21). Hebrews 6:4-5 "tasting the heavenly gift, the Lord's Table, tasting the good WORD of God and the powers of the age to come."
Jesus is condemning those who reject the Powers of the “age to come” of this time when He is ALREADY reigning over the kings and nations of the earth with His POWER (including Holy Spirit POWER) and AUTHORITY.
Right now at this time it is the time of the wedding banquet of the Lamb and the Bride of Christ New Jerusalem of which we are being made into "living stones" as part of it.
In the "age to come,” the reign of Jesus Christ over the kings of the earth has already started after Christ’s Resurrection and ascension, revealed in the Apocalypse, (1Cor 15; Rev 1:5), and it is also when Christians, who partake of the Holy Spirit, put on their immortal bodies in eternity at the "Last Trumpet" in Heaven with Jesus Christ is when the WEDDING of the Lamb is consummated forever (1Th 4:13-17; 1Cor 15:50-53).
The church is mentioned a little bit between Rev 3:22-Rev 22:16-17 as the subject is God's wrath poured out upon the "sons of disobedience" that Jesus was punishing them and taking His Kingdom away from rebellious Israel who crucified their Messiah.
The church is mentioned in Rev 5:8 by the presence of their prayers, Rev 8:3-4 where the prayers of the saints were acted upon, Rev 11:8 the saints were given their reward, Rev 13:7 the persecution of the saints by Nero to OVERCOME them, Rev 13:10 the saints must persevere and have faith in God.
Mt 5:8 Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Eph 4:24 “and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.”
1Th 3:13 “so that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.” Thayer’s Greek Dictionary defines “Saints” from the greek “hagios” as “holy ones.” Therefore the “holy ones” includes those Christians in Christ and also includes the angels who minister with God and King Jesus.
The angels are “holy ones” and also the church is mentioned by inference as "saints" and Church is also defined as "called out ones" and "holy ones" in Christ. Rev 14:12 saints keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. Rev 16:6 the saints lose their lives and the "blood of the saints and prophets." Rev 17:6 the (Jewish nation) is "drunk in the blood of the saints" and are guilty of the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. Rev 19:8 the church is clothed in fine linen of the "righteous acts of the saints." Rev 20:9 the saints are surrounded by enemies who are consumed by fire from Heaven. The church and the saints are mentioned throughout the seven seals of the O.T. scroll being unsealed. Rev 18:4 God calls the saints, the Church to come out of Babylon Jerusalem as Jesus also had told believers to flee to the mountains when they saw the Roman Armies that surrounded Jerusalem (Luke 21:20). Some had to endure the Great Tribulation of God two millennia ago and they did not have a pretrib rapture to save them and neither shall the 21st Century Christians have a fictional pretrib rapture of a tribulation that ALREADY HAS OCCURRED…
The Parable of the Ten Virgins has already occurred! Jesus came back in the First Century A.D. "When Jesus ascended [in Acts 1] to the heights [to be glorified and receive His new body, and start reigning over the nations of the earth Rev 1:5b], He led a crowd of captives [waiting in Paradise to receive Him and hear the Gospel of Salvation] and gave gifts to his people" (Eph 4:8).
In the parable of the "Ten Virgins" the five foolish virgins did not have enough oil, a type of the Holy Spirit, and were self righteous, yet were filled with enough of the Holy Spirit of God and then ran dry, devoid of the spirit.
The five foolish virgins were thinking so lightly of God's gift of His presence, the oil being a metaphor of the Holy Spirit, so as to not obtain God's free gift and grace. This spiritual negligence is unforgivable which is why the door was closed and the foolish virgins were left in out spiritual darkness forever.
After Jesus closed “The Door” and Christ Jesus is the “door” and gate, the unbelieving Jews were exiled and banned from the wedding feast of the Lamb of God until they repented and became Christians, or face the consequences of having stubbornly rejected God’s New Testament Covenant forever and became damned to “outer darkness” forever.
Jesus also came in Acts 2 into the hearts of those disciples who were willing to receive Him and the “Gift of the Holy Spirit,” “The Promise of the Father.”
John 14:18-20 “No, I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me. Since I live, you also will live. When I am raised to Life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.”
The Wedding Feast of “The Bridegroom” is already in progress today and also called “The Table of the Lord” which the church rejoices in and partakes of, at every worship service in this life. If Christians enter into the joy and presence of Jesus among His people and rejoice and worship His Presence in the Holy Spirit there is great joy at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb (Parable of The Ten Virgins), “The Lord’s Supper,” “The Lord’s Table” until the next life in eternity when the Marriage of the Bride of Christ and God through His Son Jesus are consummated forever.
The five foolish virgins were the same as the Pharisee Saul who had a “clear conscience,” but were unwilling to fellowship with the Holy Spirit and eat at the Lord's Table as His Bride. The Jewish five foolish virgins who rejected the Messiah, the Bridegroom, were as a result, were locked out, barred from Heaven and cast out into eternal exile of outer darkness forever. In Matthew 22:11-22 those without wedding clothes, a type of the propitiation of the Messiah Lamb of God, were cast out in “outer darkness.”
It is unscriptural to call the parable of the Ten Virgins, the “Rapture” of the five wise virgins who went with the Messiah and are now enjoying the “Table of the Lord” (1 Cor 10:25) which is the Wedding Feast right now in this life in His Kingdom on earth, which is now closed door to the Jews, who are an enemy of the gospel, and refuse to receive their Messiah.
In eternity Christians will have an immortal body (1John 3:2; 1 Cor 15:53-54) as Christ has now and be like Him and the “Wedding” of the Bride of Christ will be consummated forever and ever in New Jerusalem.
In Matthew 9:15 Jesus identifies Himself as the Bridegroom. In Matthew 25:6-10 after the delay of Jesus until Pentecost in Acts 2 Jesus came and baptized with fire those who were clothed with the Passover Lamb of God. Jesus the “Door” shut out the unbelieving Jews and the wedding feast with the “Table of the Lord,” of the Bride of Christ began and will continue until the resurrection and Christians receive their new bodies.
1Cor 10:21 the Table of the LORD is the same as the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” (Rev 19:9). When Christians get our new immortal bodies at the “Last Trumpet” (1Cor 15:52) then the Marriage of King Jesus Christ and the Bride of Christ will be fully consummated when we see Him as He sees us (1Co 13:10-12).
1Corinthians 13: 10 “but when [Jesus Christ] the PERFECT comes, the partial will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known.”
Saul the pharisee would have been exiled in “outer darkness” if he had not repented and become Jesus Christ's apostle. Because he repented from his sin, Apostle Paul left one of the greatest legacies of the WORD of God in the Pauline Letters of the New Testament that have survived until today.
Jesus has set up His earthly kingdom and is ruling and reigning now at this time (Rev 1:5). The Millennium kingdom of Christ exists potentially as long as life on earth exists. However American Christians rather oppose King Jesus and Christian Laws, destroy the souls of almost all children and have their enemies rule over them in the United Nations until the end of life in WW3 when all cooperation unravels irrevocably. It truly is a titanic sin for the United States to lead all the nations in their rebellion and seduce them all with the decadent state religion of Civil Government from ancient Rome as the supreme world government religion of the U.N. World Police State.
BBE Mt 17:11 “And in answer Jesus said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right.” Elijah, John the Baptist as Jesus said, had already come and through a baptism of repentance for those willing to repent were “restored” to fellowship with God the Father.
Mt 17:9-13 “And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”” And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will RESTORE ALL things [note the FACT the planet earth was NOT RESTORED at the time of Elijah]; but I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.” After the vision of Elijah and Moses on Mt Transfiguration, Jesus explained the prophecy of Elijah “putting ALL things right” was PARTIALLY fulfilled by John the Baptist. Restoring the hearts of the fathers to the children, John’s baptism was repentance from sins, restoring righteousness. The coming of Elijah, is the Holy Spirit of Elijah, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, that if Christians actually OBEYED Him, will RESTORE ALL THINGS POSSIBLE in this life as we let King Jesus establish His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. Complete restoration will be fulfilled in the “New Heaven and New Earth.”
This Universe and all it contains is too valuable a resource for the Creator to clutter up with just one “harvest” as Jesus the Lord of the Harvest calls the existence of those who prevail with Jesus as Israel did. The Creator will “recycle” and reuse this Universe according to His divine plan for many harvests throughout eternity.
“The restoration of ALL things,” As defined by Jesus, does not mean a restored physical earth as many churches heretically teach, it means ALL those who are WILLING will be RESTORED to their Creator, without sin, blameless in Christ Jesus. “Flesh and Blood” will NOT be part of the eternal existence in the “New Heaven and New Earth.” Christians who overcome Satan (1Jn 2:13-14) will become similar to the angels, with a new immortal body as Jesus now has, which is currently beyond our comprehension levels. Dear friends, we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like Him” (1John 3:2).
Acts 3:21 says, “whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of ALL things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.” Partial restoration to the Father through Jesus now and completed in the “New Heaven and New Earth.”
This is probably not a reference to a future period when God will restore this earth to its original condition, which existed before the fall of Adam and Eve. It is a reference to the “New Heaven and New Earth.”
Rom. 8:20-21, “For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” “The elements will go up in a fervent heat.” The universe will be set free from its slavery to corruption at its end which occurs when at the “Last Trumpet” all the harvest of Bride of Christ will be taken to the New Heaven and New Earth and this universe will be dissolved and the next WORD, similar to John 1:1, will take place and another universe and Messiah will be created for the next crop of the giant “womb” of the universe, as God is always the same and creating and speaking other WORDS in Gen 1:26 “Let US” being the previous Sons of God and their Brides from their respective universes. The number of “Christ Jesus,” each created by an unique WORD by God their Father could be almost infinite in number when one considers the eternity God their Father has existed. To limit God our Father to one WORD and reserving physical existence in this universe is myopic and philosophically bankrupt. God never changes and has always been the same speaking WORDS and as a result speaking new physical universes into existence and will continue to do so for all eternity.
The restoration of the Kingdom of Israel mentioned by Paul in Rom. 11:25-26 is in the “New Heaven and New Earth” where “righteousness reigns.”
Rom. 11:25-26, "For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in; 26 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob." Jesus has come out of Zion as the Deliverer and has ascended and is glorified and has His own throne from where is already ruling the kings and reigning over the nations of the earth and making His enemies “His footstool,” Rev 1:5.
Restoration of all things is at the Rapture-Resurrection in 1 Cor. 15:25-26 which has written, “For He must REIGN until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.” After death is abolished will then all things be restored at His great “Last Trumpet” call when the saints inherit immortal bodies and are taken to be with the Lord Jesus Forever.
Because of the sin of the prevailing hard-hearted mindset of adamantly opposing Christian Law and opposing God’s Kingdom ON EARTH by opposing a Christian nation, God has truly let Satan out of the pit and the American nation is being enticed and ensnared until it will be eventually fully destroyed. The historic choice was having an actually possible American Millennium of peace with King Jesus, OR Satan and the kingdom of darkness causing deceptions, chaos, death, destruction and the coming tyranny of the nation's enemies in the U.N. The American Christians have chosen to oppose letting King Jesus reign in the U.S. Government and making Christian laws making it possible to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Truth in the public schools.
I believe Millennialism for America remains possible for the future, as the Library of Congress shows the Christians under Pres. Jefferson thought so too. Others believe in Pre-Millennialism, Post-Millennialism and in A-Millennialism. Jesus has repeatedly given MERCY having given several thousand year (“Millennium”) reigns including in the Holy Roman Empire. Such a possibility exists today of another “Millennium” if only the American Christians would immediately repent of opposing King Jesus ruling and reigning in the USA government and public schools.
Instead of supporting the truth of having God’s Kingdom here on earth as an ancient Israel, American Christianity sinfully supports a hypocritical form of "tolerance" of legal polytheism and supporting destroying the souls with the State Religions indoctrinated in the public schools resulting in government persecution of Christian religious expression resulting in the spiritual genocide of Christianity.
America in Prophecy~
The Book of Revelation is largely fulfilled prophecy about the end of the Old Testament Covenant and the beginning of the rule and reign of King Jesus in the first century A.D. Today the church actually has to listen to the Holy Spirit, listen the Voice of Jesus, to know where America is in prophecy.
Because “Jesus is always the Same,” making America, the ruler and “the head of ALL nations” or “Manifest Destiny” as once taught in America’s schools was the truth. It was God’s will conditioned on the premise the American people had actually chosen to OBEY Him and the Holy Spirit, establishing Jesus as King in the U.S. Government (which is why the Christian Amendment remains so important to obtain God’s Blessings at ChristianAmendment.com).
Instead of choosing to have God’s blessings, American Christians have chosen God’s Curse becoming “the tail of all nations” and being plundered, persecuted by the same enemies of God it had placed in authority in its sinful U.N. Treaty Organization, where treaties with enemies are FORBIDDEN by the Law of God. Eventually the USA will be “tossed” on the radioactive ashes of history forever in WW3 by the Command of Jesus Christ and ALMIGHTY God in a Holy Spirit Prophecy given in 1968 A.D. Its punishment is not just because of the evil desires of enemy nations. Rejecting becoming a Christian nation, rebelling against letting King Jesus reign over the nation, has earned God’s Coming Terrible Wrath in WW3.
In 1968 A.D. the Holy Spirit spoke through a prophetess about God’s Final Judgment of His Wrath against America:

1968 PROPHECY from 90- YEAR-OLD WOMAN in NORWAY
An old prophetess of 90 from Valdres, Norway had a vision from God in 1968 A.D. The evangelist Emanuel Minos had meetings (services) where she lived. He had the opportunity to meet her, and she told him what she had seen. He wrote it down, but thought it to be so unbelievable that he put it in a drawer. After 30 years, he understood he had to share the vision with others.
The woman from Valdres was a very alert, reliable, awake and credible Christian, with a good reputation among all who knew her. This is what she saw:
"I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World War. I saw the events with my natural eyes. I saw the world like a kind of a globe and saw Europe, land by land. I saw Scandinavia. I saw Norway. I saw certain things that would take place just before the return of Jesus, and just before the last calamity happens, a calamity the likes of which we have never before experienced.”
The prophetess mentioned FOUR WAVES:
1. "First, before Jesus comes and before the Third World War breaks out there will be a 'détente' like we have never had before. There will be peace between the super powers in the east and the west, and there will be a long peace. [Remember, that this was in 1968 when the cold war was at its highest]. In this period of peace there will be disarmament in many countries, also in Norway and we are not prepared when it (the war) comes. The Third World War will begin in a way no one would have anticipated - and from an unexpected place.”
2. "A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold of the Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. Christians will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance and restoration. There will come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness) Christianity. "The important thing will be to have success, to be something; to have material things, things that God never promised us in this way. Churches and prayer houses will be emptier and emptier. Instead of the preaching we have been used to for generations -like, to take your cross up and follow Jesus, - entertainment, art and culture will invade the churches where there should have been gatherings for repentance and revival. This will increase markedly just before the return of Jesus.
3. "There will be a moral disintegration that old Norway has never experienced the likes of. People will live together like married without being married. Much uncleanness before marriage, and much infidelity in marriage will become the natural and it will be justified from every angle. It will even enter Christian circles and we will let it - even sin against nature. Just before Jesus returns there will be immoral TV- programs like we have never experienced.” [TV had just arrived in Norway in 1968]
"TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder and destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our streets. People will copy what they see. There will not be only one 'station' on TV, it will be filled with 'stations.' [She did not know the word 'channel' which we use today. Therefore she called them stations.] TV will be just like the radio where we have many 'stations,' and it will be filled with violence. People will use it for entertainment. We will see terrible scenes of murder and destruction one of the other, and this will spread in society. Sex scenes will also be shown on the screen, the most intimate things that take place in a marriage." Then the old woman said: "It will happen, and you will see it. All we have had before will be broken down, and the most indecent things will pass before our eyes."
4. "People from poor countries will stream to Europe. [In 1968 there was no such thing as immigration] They will also come to Scandinavia - and Norway. There will be so many of them that people will begin to dislike them and become hard with them. They will be treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of our sins will have been reached.
The tears streamed from the old woman's eyes down her cheeks. "I will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will COME and the Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war." (She saw it in the vision.) "All that I have seen of war before is only child's play compared to this one, and it will be ended with a nuclear atom bomb. The air will be so polluted that one cannot draw one's breath. It will cover several continents, America, Japan, Australia and the wealthy nations. The water will be ruined (contaminated). We can no longer till and farm the [radioactive] soil. The result will be that only a small remnant will remain. The remnant in the wealthy countries will try to flee to the poor countries, but they will be as hard on us as we were on them!”
“I am so glad that I will not see it, but when the time draws near, you must take courage and tell this. I have received it from God, and nothing of it goes against what the Bible tells.”
“I am repeating this vision to you because of what the Lord showed me in 2002 – not as detailed, but just as harrowing. Many of you may remember the vision I had of the Stampede. In it I saw a stampede, like cattle, of Modern Christianity heading straight for a cliff, and although some of us were yelling at them and waving our arms, I could not get their attention. Then the Lord spoke to me and told me, "Even if they could hear you, which they can't, they will not listen.” I knew that the only things that can end a stampede is either to let them run themselves out – which there was time for that – or something explosive would have to happen to break the hypnotic sway that they were mesmerized with. Immediately, I thought of 9/11 – but that had already happened. And then I realized that something else was coming, much greater than 9/11 or Katrina. And then the vision broke, and I saw as it were, a scene as it would be after a terrible explosion with dust and debris floating down in the air. Only a few people were left walking around in shell-shock. One of them approached me and asked, "How can we trust God?””
“I mention this because I have heard others who have seen similar things. The Bibles says that God will not do anything but He will tell His prophets first. We have been warned repeatedly, but just like in the Old Testament, we hear, we repent briefly and seek God superficially, but then human nature is such that we end up going back to seeking our own ways. And then judgment falls.”
“I believe we have a small window of opportunity to go back to seeking for the fear of God so that we may return to that old-fashioned Gospel that we have left way behind us. The Church today would be unrecognizable to our forefathers, but we only give it a passing notice. We no longer care because we are so comfortable with the way we have fashioned our Christianity. We have created God in our own image.”
One has to only Google search for visions, prophecy and dreams of God’s Judgment of destroying the United States forever for refusing to become a Christian nation.
“I am convinced that Russia is the head with the fatal wound that was healed described in Rev 13:3. In conjunction with this Jesus revealed to William Branham in 1933 that Russia is the current king of the North, which is found in Dan 11. Then in 1997 Jesus showed how the head with the fatal wound that was healed, which is Russia, will come back to life.
Rev 13:3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;
1933 Seven Visions by William Branham
(Concerning Endtime Events From 1933 to The End)
The first vision was that Mussolini would invade Ethiopia and that nation would "fall at his steps.” That vision surely did cause some repercussions, and some were very angry when I said it and would not believe it. But it happened that way. He just walked in there with his modern arms and took over. The natives didn't have a chance. But the vision also said that Mussolini would come to a horrible end with his own people turning on him. That came to pass just exactly as it was said.
The next vision foretold that an Austrian by the name of Adolph Hitler would rise up as dictator over Germany, and that he would draw the world into war. It showed the Siegfried line and how our troops would have a terrible time to overcome it. Then it showed that Hitler would come to a mysterious end.
The third vision was in the realm of world politics for it showed me that there would be three great ISMS, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, but that the first two would be swallowed up into the third. The voice admonished, "WATCH RUSSIA, WATCH RUSSIA. Keep your eye on the King of the North."
The fourth vision showed the great advances in science that would come after the Second World War. It was headed up in the vision of a plastic bubble-topped car that was running down beautiful highways under remote control so that people appeared seated in this car without a steering wheel and they were playing some sort of a game to amuse themselves.
The fifth vision had to do with the moral problem of our age, centering mostly around women. God showed me that women began to be out of their place with the granting of the vote. Then they cut off their hair, which signified that they were no longer under the authority of a man but insisted on either equal rights, or in most cases, more than equal rights. She adopted men's clothing and went into a state of undress, until the last picture I saw was a woman naked except for a little fig leaf type apron. With this vision I saw the terrible perversion and moral plight of the whole world.
Then in the sixth vision there arose up in America a most beautiful, but cruel woman. She held the people in her complete power
The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.

An Angry Bear
Dream received April 1997 by Dumitru Duduman © 2000 Hand of Help, Inc.
I knelt by my bed to pray, as I do every night before going to sleep. After finishing my prayer, I opened my eyes, but I was no longer in my room. Instead, I found myself in a forest. I looked around, and to my right I saw a man dressed in white who pointed his finger and said, “See and remember.” It took me a while to find what he was pointing at. It was a small bear who seemed half dead lying on the ground.
As I continued to watch this bear, it began to breathe deeper. With every passing minute it seemed to revive itself, and, as I watched, it also became angrier. It then began to grow. Soon it was larger than the forest floor, and as it grew larger, it continued to become angrier. It then began to paw the ground, so that when its paw would hit the ground, the earth would shudder. The bear continued to devastate all that stood in its path until it came upon some men with sticks trying to fend it off. By this time the bear had grown so large that it simply crushed the men underfoot and continued its rampage.
I was stunned by what I saw and asked the man standing beside me, “What does this mean?” “At first they thought the great bear was dead,” the man said. “As it will begin to stir once again, they will consider it harmless. Suddenly, it will grow strong once more with purpose and violence. God will blind the eyes of those that continue to trample on the sacrifice of Christ’s blood, until the day the bear will strike swiftly. This day will catch them unprepared, and it will be just as you saw.”
The man then said, “Tell my people the days are numbered and the sentence has been passed. If they will seek My face and walk in righteousness before Me, I will open their eyes that they may see the danger approach. If they only look to the approaching danger, they, too, will be caught up and trampled underfoot. Only in righteousness will they find safety.”
Suddenly, I was once again by myself in my room, on my knees, with sweat covering my face.”
The United States of America will perish forever for having sinned and made itself to be “One Nation Over God,” instead of submitting itself to King Jesus and becoming a Christian nation by law, saving the children with the Gospel in the public schools and saving the nation from its enemies…
A prophetess in 1968 A.D. said the “survivors” of WW3 will be in “shell shock,” choking on radioactive fallout ashes and asking the question “How can we trust God?” God could not trust the Christians as they turned to deceptions and betrayed Jesus in government and damned most of the children in the public schools by working to turn them away from believing in Jesus and turned the students from believing in His Word. The answer to those who manage to survive is they should have allowed the gospel taught as truth in the public schools and allowed King Jesus into the U.S. Government. The American Christians should have repented of the sin of going after foreign gods and legal polytheism and instead “called upon the Name of the Lord so to be saved” and asked Jesus into government and ruled and reigned with Him according to freedom of their conscience which the Christian Amendment provided. Sending most children to the public schools to be turned from Jesus and away from His Word damning the students’ souls, makes the American Christians worthy of God’s Wrath as will be expressed in unleashing WW3. God “Loves Mercy,” but without repentance, and damning most of the children to be turned from believing in Jesus, the American Christians are not eligible for mercy…
THE EVENTS OF CIRCA 70 A.D. DO FULFILL MOST OF THE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE END TIMES!
The events of circa 70 A.D. does fulfill most of the prophecies about the End Times. Jesus prophesied that the Great Tribulation will be the most severe time in world history, for Israel. It will surpass all other times of crisis as it is the fulfillment of the Deuteronomy 28 CURSE OF GOD completed in the Jews being CUT OFF FROM THE O.T. COVENANT OF GOD as the CHOSEN PEOPLE. The Book of Revelation is a book of symbolism, as the angel said to John, these things signify or symbolize what was about to happen quickly and “soon.” Some seek to stretch this prophecy by making the symbolism actual physical events. However good scholarship recognizes symbolism for what it is and seeing it fulfilled in 70 AD. “Jacob’s Trouble” and The Great Tribulation will be so severe that God shortens it to three and a half years to keep the Jewish race from being physically killed (Mt. 24:21-22). Romans 11:28 has written the not “born again” of Israel remain God’s beloved for the patriarch’s Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’s sake, but the unsaved Jews are now God’s ENEMIES and our enemies for the Gospel of Jesus Christ’s sake.
The events of 70 A.D. were clearly the prophetic fulfillment of the Great Tribulation. In Rev 11:17 the Seals of the Scroll were ALL broken open at the time of the BEGINNING of the Rule and Reign of King Jesus over the kings of the earth (Rev 1:5) and not in the distant future. They did fulfill the symbolic details given about the Great Tribulation in Scripture. For example, Jesus said the Great Tribulation would happen after the abomination of desolation that results in a number of deaths (Rev. 6:8; 9:15). The details concerning the abomination of desolation in Revelation 13:11-18 include a talking image. Caesar Nero is identified by Name in the Hebrew by the number “666” as the Beast and Antichrist. Nero set up a 120 foot tall statue of himself to be worshiped above all gods. As a counterfeit of Genesis 1:26 “Let us make man in our image and likeness” so Nero and false teachers work to make students and people into “their image and likeness.” The “voices” behind idols and images are “seducing spirits,” devils and demon masters that control people as Jesus warned Christians about, so they would not have other spiritual masters. The “666,” “Mark of the Beast,” is the antithesis of the saints in heaven with a “new name” written upon their heads, it is a spiritual mark denoting the mind by the forehead and the right hand representing strength used in work for a living. A “healed head wound,” after Caesar Nero committed suicide was replaced the Emperor Galba showing, whatever happens the Roman Beast would continue to prevail and none could make war against the ancient world government (Today the same is true as “who can make war against the combined armies of U.N. Command including NATO?). The mandatory worship of the Antichrist that is worldwide then and it is paralleled by much of the world today, though not yet replaced by the government’s global demand to worship, venerate and obey the state religion of Civil Government above ALL religions. The false prophet was the ancient Jewish High Priest that commanded all to worship Caesar and Civil Government above God and Jewish Law. All of these prophecy details were fulfilled in the Jewish revolt against Rome (66-70 A.D.).
Jerusalem and the second temple were destroyed in 70 A.D. (Masada fell in 73 AD). Then in the Bar Kochba rebellion against Rome (132-135 AD), the Jews revolted against Rome AGAIN, resulting in 500,000 Jews being killed and 1,000 villages being destroyed.
Final fulfillment of the Dt 28 Curse of God of being “vomited out by the land” was later fulfilled by God upon Israel when the Jews were banned from the former land of Israel and driven into exile (the Diaspora). Eventually Jerusalem was rebuilt and renamed as Aelia Capitolina and on the former temple mount was defiled with the Temple of Jupiter as the Roman Empire’s abomination of desolation continued upon the Jews.
As a general summary, Almost ALL Messianic prophecy was fulfilled of the Last Days, End Times and the seventy weeks of Daniel. Jesus the Rock, cut out of the Mountain came down and smashed the prophetic statue of Nebuchadnezzar of the world empires (Dan 2:45) ending the age of man’s rule without Christ and King Jesus Christ has since taken over the reign of the nations and has been ruling the kings of the earth ever since (greek “archon” ruler Rev 1:5).
Before the cross Satan was the ruler (supreme greek “archon”) and after the cross Satan was demoted to one of innumerable gods and to the “prince and power of the air.” After the cross Jesus took position as the supreme ruler (greek “archon”) of Heaven and Earth (Mtt 28:18).
The Great Commission was started at the beginning of the reign of Jesus Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords in Matthew 28:17-19 “When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,…” The United States of America was commanded to become a Christian nation as the Revolutionary War Founding Fathers promised, however they turned traitors to turn against Christianity as Thomas Jefferson said, to “the New Religion of Civil Government.”
Eph 4:10 “The One who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might FILL ALL THINGS.”
“Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone [JESUS CHRIST] that struck the statue became a great MOUNTAIN and FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH (Daniel 2:35).” This symbolic imagery is fulfilled today with King Jesus Christ reigning over the nations (Rev 1:5) and sometimes smashing the nations with His “rod of iron.”
Jesus Christ smashed all the world empires of history and now is in total control of the rebellious nations who are traitors having turned against Children by hiring teachers to turn their children away from believing in Jesus Christ in the public schools and turned the nation’s government away from becoming Christian. By refusing to serve and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the U.S. Government, the leaders and people who elected them, have chosen their enemies to rule them in a tyrannical nightmare the U.N. World Government will inevitably become. Then WW3 and the final desolation where the Christian survivors poisoned by radioactive fallout will “wonder” where God and Jesus will is in all of this horrible suffering. The horror of WW3 could have been averted if they had only become a Christian nation and honored King Jesus Christ, the Creator of the Universe and all life instead of the pagan religions and ruining the minds and destroying the future of the human race.
Jesus is always the same and just as God told Abraham there would be 430 years of slavery and cruelty before Israel would possess the Promised Land so it is also true in the New Testament God and Jesus required several centuries of slavery and cruelty before the entire Roman Empire was given to the Christians to rule as a nation, the Holy Roman Empire, of “kings and priests” for the millennial thousand years God had promised for the Millennium doctrine. The centuries of the early Christians waiting for the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity is because of the foreknowledge of God as Jesus said in Acts 1:7 “times or seasons” and not a single time of a Christian nation where Christians could dwell in peace and safety.
1. The first mindset sees every spiritual and moral setback as evidence that we are living in the final apostasy prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24.
There He said, "And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold" (Matt. 24:10-12).
Like clockwork, as soon as a new, heretical teaching begins to spread, or as soon as a Christian denomination denies a fundamental doctrine, or as soon as a prominent leader falls, believers begin to say, "This is it! This is the falling away Jesus spoke of! This is the last great apostasy!"
This kind of heretical thinking results in an attitude of fatalistic resignation, of throwing in the towel, of getting into the bunker mentality where we hunker down among the faithful few until Jesus comes and rescues us. There is nothing biblical in that way of thinking.
Even if we agree that Matthew 24:10-12 applies to the “end of the age” (rather than to the time before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD; some would argue it applies to both periods of time), what makes us so sure that the current defection we are witnessing is that defection? The American apostasy of Christians is due to Christians fatalistically opposing Christian U.S. Law and apathetically giving the nation’s children over to the government educational system to be morally corrupted and turned away from believing in Jesus. Jesus COMMANDED Christians to either break the law or change the law if possible (Acts 4:18-20).
And what makes us so sure that we are living in the last generation? How many generations before us believed that very thing?
The reality is that there has been defection and apostasy and falling away and great deception in every generation from the times of Jesus until today, and the New Testament way to address these apostasies is to teach the truth with clarity, power, conviction, and patience.
The triumph of error is hardly inevitable, and even during a final time of great apostasy, the harvest will be even greater (see Revelation 7:9-17). In any event, we are called to confront error with truth, not to capitulate to it. Truth is infinitely more powerful than error.
2. The second paralyzing mindset believes that, because the last days will be marked by ever-increasing darkness and we are living in the last days, things in the world will only get worse, so there's no use fighting against it.
This 21st century fatalism, so we are told by many preachers, is what Paul warned about in 2 Timothy 3:1 where he wrote, "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come" (NKJV).
But did you ever ask yourself why Paul would be warning Timothy about something that wouldn't happen for at least 2,000 years? Does this make sense? And when you read Paul's description of the last days in vv. 2-5, does it sound unique to our generation, or does it describe the state of humanity throughout the generations?
In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, you'll see three things: 1) Paul was giving Timothy practical instructions for his own life; 2) Paul's description of the evil of the last days applies to past generations as well as the present generation; and 3) Paul ended his exhortation by saying, "Avoid such people."
In other words, Paul didn't want his spiritual son to have any misconceptions about this period in which he lived, a period called the “Last Days,” referring to the time from the death and resurrection of Jesus until His return upon Mt Olives (Zechariah 14:4 circa 70 A.D.). Apostle Paul told Timothy plainly that difficult days were ahead and that wicked people would continue to act wickedly, even persecuting the righteous (see 2 Timothy 3:12-13).
The key for Timothy was to stay steady and faithful, unmoved by what was around him, faithfully preaching the Word (see 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5). It remains the same duty for us.
What we often forget is that, according to the New Testament, these last days are also characterized by great outpouring of the Spirit and great harvest (see Acts 2:14-21), which is why Paul proclaimed that, "The night is far gone; the day is at hand" (Romans 13:12). That's why John wrote, "the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining" (1 John 2:8).
Jesus is Lord, God the Father sits enthroned as King of the universe, and His Spirit is moving powerfully through the earth regardless of how unfaithful many Christian leaders are.
It is our sacred duty to God and Jesus to take action, whether that means opposing slavery in the 1800s or opposing elective abortions today.
We do what is right because it is right. We shine with spiritual light because “God is Light,” because that's what His guiding light does, regardless of where we stand on the prophetic calendar.
3. The third paralyzing eschatological mindset believes that since everything is foreknown to God and predestined by Him, there's nothing we can do to change the future.
The fatalistic heresy of ”What will be will be, and so there's no reason to rock the boat or risk our lives or make sacrifices for the gospel. Just chill! It's all going to work out the way God planned it." As the Genesis Garden of Eden shows, God plans for success, but plans for worse case scenarios.
The apocalyptic mentality is completely foreign to the Scriptures, and whatever the Bible does teach about divine foreknowledge and predestination, it does not teach that, a mentality more akin to fatalism than to biblical thinking. You can make a difference, get up and “do what the hand finds to do.”
Either way, whatever your eschatology might be (and whatever the Lord might and might not be doing behind the scenes), you will give a full account to God for your actions (or inactions). And since the Lord calls us to go make disciples of the nations (Matthew 28:19), to pray and ask Him to thrust forth laborers into His harvest, to pray that His will be done on earth as it is heaven, it benefits us to pray and to go and to obey and to serve.
Jesus said that ALL authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him, and He promised to be with us as we continue on engaging whatever we must so to fulfill His mission, right up to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20). That keeps us encouraged, faith-filled, and soberly optimistic until I see Him face to face, no matter what comes my way (John 16:33; Romans 8:37-39).
I say it's high time we throw out these paralyzing fatalistic eschatological mindsets and paradigms. Will you agree with Jesus and be a “king and priest,” overcome Satan as Jesus did, and rule and reign with Him on this earth before it is truly too late?
Jesus is building His Messianic Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
“Jesus is always the same,” He loves mercy and would give America His Blessings, if the Christians would have mercy upon Jesus and mercy upon themselves and stop sinning in unbelief and rebellion by stopping their opposition to a Christian nation and if the Christian Lawyers repented and ceased their opposition to legislating Christian law. Opposing God’s Kingdom on Earth outside of one’s private life is a sin (Mt 6:10; Luke 11:2) and unless the nation’s leaders repent of sinning against the rule and reign of King Jesus. God now has no choice but to pour out His Wrath upon the nation with His terrible judgments against The United States. King Jesus rules the kings and nations today (Rev 1:5), will you obey the Holy Spirit and help Him?

Amen
