The Book of Revelation.
19th chapter.
Revelation 19 and we begin with the 11Th verse.
And I saw heaven open.
And behold the White Horse.
Even sat upon him was called faithful and true and in righteousness He doesn't judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire. On his head were many frowned. He had a name written that no man knew that he himself.
And he will go to investor dipped in blood. His name is called the Word of God.
The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed and fine women.
And out of his mouth go with a sharks sword, and with it he should smite the nations.
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, an incredible winding the rest of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his best turn on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
Read more later.
My object tonight is to read.
Seven different visions given to John.
And then an 8.
Seven Beginning with the coming of the Lord out of heaven to execute judgment. That's where we begin at this 11Th verse tonight.
And each subject is introduced with these words.
And I saw.
John saw something here.
He saw what the Old Testament prophets prophesied.
We saw that what the Prophet said. For instance, June prophesied that the Lord cometh with 10 thousands of His Saints to execute judgment.
And the Lord my God shall come, and all his Saints with it.
The coming of the Lord with his Saints to execute judgment is a subject of prophetic prophecy in the Old Testament.
The Lords coming for His Saints is the subject of the prophetic word in the New Testament. We do not get His coming for the Saints in the Old Testament.
But what you do get is coming with a sense.
I'd add this remark to that the Old Testament closes.
With the prophetic statement that the Lord is coming back to this earth as the sunshine, as the sun to rule the day.
To shine forth in His Majesty and put down all his enemies.
Now in the.
New Testament The New Testament closes with the Lords coming broccoli forest not as the sun to rise to rule the day, but as the morning star to arise for his peoples blessed.
Now that all of them will tell us that the church has to go through the Tribulation and their not name is legion today.
They have forgotten, if they ever knew, the difference between the morning star and the sun.
On the morning star arises while it shifts dark.
Arises before the break of day, and it is seen by those who look.
Well, the Lord's coming is near behind, and how good it is to know that what the New Testament tells us will take place before that. Was the Old Testament closed for the morning star concedes the coming of the sun. He appears in the sun.
00:05:04
Now I might make a few remarks.
About the Book of Revelation.
One thing about the Book of Revelation is this.
We must know. We must remember the Book of Revelation is not a continuous prophecy.
But it is a series of prophetic pictures.
And if we do not deserve that, we'll be all at sea.
As I was saying to a brother today.
The Book of Revelation is indeed a very important part of the inspired word.
Without the Book of Revelation, we wouldn't know how to put the truth of Scripture together.
The Old Testament closes, or the Old Testament prophecy tells us, of the coming Millennium on earth. The Old Testament, in my judgment, does not go beyond the Millennium.
Everlasting life is connected with the earth, the Millennium.
The eternal estate is not there that comes in in the Book of Revelation, unless you include something like the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles in Leviticus 23 which is a day figurative of a new beginning or take you onto the eternal state.
So the the prophetic word must be joined together. The Old Testament tells us of the coming millennial glory. The New Testament tells of the heavenly portion of the church transport you to heaven.
Well, if we didn't have the Book of Revelation, we would not know how to put those two things together.
Where how they would fit together and where they would come in. But the Book of Revelation, when properly understood, let's see the portion of the Saints of this heirs.
Have then He chose you the coming judgments to put to the day of the Lord and the and the Lord is coming to execute judgment, and it goes on to the eternal state. Saul of the Book of Revelation is somewhat constructed. I mean the whole book, The Canon of Scripture is somewhat constructed like a hammer. It's tied together. Both ends in the book of Genesis we have.
Practically every truth of scripture in type or in embryo in Genesis.
I might say, with the notable exceptions of redemption and God's willingness, man, they are reserved for the book of Exodus, but so much is contained in the book of Genesis in In Tight and Shadow.
Well, that's the whole book is tied together at the one end and it's tied together at the other end with the Book of Revelation taking the prophetic word of the Old Testament, the prophetic word of the New Testament, and joining them together so that we can have a proper understanding of their correlations.
Now where we began tonight we began with and I saw heaven open.
And we find the Lord Jesus coming out of heaven with his Saints to execute judgment.
Now the Book of Revelation gives you a series of pictures.
For instance, the first chapter you have the Lord Jesus presented as the one that's judging, judging of the profession of Christianity on earth. You find it carried out in the next two chapters. The 2nd and the third chapters where the prophetic where the profession of Christianity.
Is tested by him.
And his final.
Condition is described there in some detail. The 4th chapter begins with John spirit caught up into heaven.
He says the voice, which I heard at the 1St as of a trumpet speaking with me. I'm putting the correct translation of that.
Which said come up, hit. Her voice said John. Heard of the first chapter. He called John to come up into heaven in the 4th chapter.
And there, from then on you get the church seen in heaven. Never see the church on earth after the beginning of the 4th chapter.
Well, the 5th, the 4th and 5th chapters stand alone as we see the throne of God in heaven. Before the judgments begin to fall on this earth, you find the Lamb. Take the book God's title to this earth, and he alone has the authority to open those seals and pour out the judgments on this earth.
00:10:08
Where is he now? God has said sit down at my right hand until I make thine enemies, thy whistle, First Corinthians tells us while he sits there. He's expecting until his enemies be made his whistle.
So he's there, then the 8th chapter.
The 8th chapter. And when he had opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
First verse of chapter 8. Now what that means? What that indicates is this, I believe the beginning of the last half of those seven years. Something momentous is about to take place.
Those awful threats that time of great tribulation such as was not before, never would be, never will be as bad going to fall on this earth saw a moment. There's silence in heaven about the space of happening now then we go down to.
The end of the 11Th chapter.
The 18th verse.
And the prophetic picture has run along.
With some notable exquisite, the exception of the 7th chapter.
Where it's an interlude while we see those seals that are going to inhabit the millennial earth. But the 18th verse of the 11Th chapter brings us up to the end of the tribulation period. Nations were angry, and my wrath is coming from the time of the dead, that they should be judged and thou should just give reward unto thy servants, the prophets.
And to the Saints, a man that fear thy name small and great, thou should destroy them that destroy the earth.
All that chapters should M write that the last verse of that chapter belongs to the next chapter. And as soon as you come up to the end in that 18th verse of the 11Th chapter, he goes back again and he goes back to the 12Th chapter. He goes back to the birth of Christ, even before the birth of Christ.
And.
There's a there's a woman that brings forth a man, child, or a male might who wish to rule all nations with a rod of iron. Now there can be no doubt about who this person is. The second son makes it clear.
And.
There is follow up to God and his throne might make this comment too that on in the 12Th chapter.
You'll find.
I wasn't told this in Matthew 2. In Matthew 2 you see Herod trying to destroy the child. But in the 12Th chapter of Revelation, we find that Satan was the instinct trying to destroy the child as soon as it was born, as soon as he was there. But he's caught up to God in his throne. His death isn't matching, but he's caught up to heaven and then it skips on down to the end of the seven years, that is the last 3 1/2 years.
Where Israel is prefigured as a woman that flees into the wilderness and she's hid for time times and appetizers. One year plus two years plus 1/2 year, 3 1/2 years, she's hit there from the face of the surf well.
Then the next chapter, the 13th chapter, takes up the enemies of Israel.
You have two beasts in that chapter, and they're the enemies of the godly remnant of Israel.
Particularly the enemies of Israel, but of the godly in Israel. For the beast of the first beast in Romans, in Revelation 13 will be the man of the 9th of Daniel, who will make an unholy alliance with the head of the Jews in Jerusalem for that for seven years, and in the middle of the seven years he breaks his cover.
Well, we go on.
And.
We can't go into all the detail. We won't get through to these seven points we go on down to the 19th chapter.
I think this comment though the 16 the 16th chapter the end of the 16th chapter brings it down to the time of the end again.
00:15:03
End of the 16th brings it down to the time of the end.
And I am going to make a statement here that I firmly believe and the more I have studied it and waited presence of God trust, the more I am convinced that the 19th verse of the 16th chapter is not the battle and the grace of the 18th chapter. Not the city or the woman of the 17 chef woman of the 17th chapter of the city of the 18th.
It's a false religious system.
That will be here and exert A tremendous influence in the first half of those seven years. Then she'll be destroyed. And but in the end of the 16th chapter, the 19th verse, at the middle of the verse, and Gray Babylon came in remembrance before God to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. I firmly believe that great Babylon in that verse.
Is the Roman Empire. It's the political power, whereas battle in the great of the 17th, 18th chapters is a religious power.
That great Babylon came in remembrance before, and that brings you down to the time of the end again.
And you're down to the time at the end of the tribulation period.
I know some today at system are teaching.
Battle of the Great, the religious power of the 18th chapter, is a city over.
On the Euphrates that must be rebuilt and become the metropolis of the whole world. But it's all folly. I told a man that recently, man I know to be a Christian. They called me up and asked for permission to use some of our articles out of Christian truth.
In a publication of theirs while I had him on the phone, I said, why are you insist that the 18th chapter battling the greatest, the city of Babylon, over there on the Euphrates? It must be over there, I said. You realize it would take centuries to have that city be rebuilt and to make it the world Metropolis, Senator, Commerce and Industry. I said it is impossible I should delay the Lord's coming indefinitely.
And I said, I'll give you one verse that will settle it all for you and prove that you're wrong. Notice the 17th chapter in the last verse.
And the woman which thou sawest now there willing to admit that the woman that corrupted woman in the 17th chapters of all religious system. But I said, Now notice this. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
So you can't make the woman one thing and the city the other, because the last verse of the 17th chapter says that the same. They're the same parties. The only difference is the one presents her in her corruption, the other in her organization, her city.
Now the 17th and 18th chapters take you back to the beginning of the whole seven years ago, where you see that false religious system in the first half of those sentiments. Now I'd like to make this comment too about that verse in the 16th chapter, That 19th verse.
There are two babylons in the book of Isaiah.
The 13th and 14th chapters and the 47th or 40 and 48th I think it is.
Now those two baboons, one is the one is political and the other is religious.
The political Babylon is the 13th and 14th chapters and Lucifer of the 14th chapter is the head of the revived Roman Empire.
For Satan's back the Lucifer should be translated, thou son of the morning, but instead of translating it, they transliterated it and said Lucifer.
And I know it's taught that Lucifer the 14th of Isaiah, Satan, but the the Lord Jesus Christ who comes out of heaven.
Is the morning star. It comes for his Saints, but the Son of the morning of the 14th chapter, Lucifer. That's what Lucifer means. The Son of the Morning. He is the false morning star ahead of the revived Roman Empire will offer to usher in a new day for.
00:20:10
And it's all false.
Basically, it's a dissection.
Now let's go to the 19th chapter.
Let me count. In the 19th chapter we see the we see the Saints in heaven.
And the marriage of the blandest common his wife hath made herself ready. Now she's gone through the judgment seat of Christ. Everything is up.
Clothed in fine linen, and clean and white in the fine linen of the righteousnesses of the Saints.
That's inhabit before he comes back with his Saints to execute judgment. Might also make this comment about the 19th chapter.
If you compare it with the 14th chapter, you'll find the 4th chapter.
You go back to four and five, you find 24 elders.
In heaven, those 24 elders represent all the redeemed in heaven.
Two twelfths, 2 Counts, and they represent the 24 courses of the priesthood.
And so their their heavenly priests, and priests to God made us kings and priests unto our God in heaven. That's the 4th and 5th job you should get the 24 elders. But when you come down to the 19th chapter, you never hear of an elderly.
The 24 elders have disappeared in the 19th chapter.
And what takes their place? Why, what takes their place? Is this the bride, the lamb's wife, and the invited guests to the marriage beast? And there you have your Old and New Testament say separate. The one that bribed, the other the friends of the bride. Now then we come down to where we began to read tonight. I barely wouldn't drop this other end as preliminary that we might get our barons. And I saw heaven over.
You know, the man of the world thinks that the world is going to go on this way forever.
They're going on planning and building and they're constructing great buildings today and they're doing it on 99 year leases.
It's my firm conviction that these 99 year leases will never be fulfilled. We're down at the very end and there'll be, there'll be a destruction long or that.
I saw Evernote.
And behold, a White Horse. This is not the writer on the White Horse from the 6th Jack. That's a man on earth in the 6th chapter, But here is the Lord Jesus Christ coming out of heaven. You want to be sure who he is.
And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and Truth. Remember, he was introduced as a faithful and true witness.
Church has been an unfaithful business, but here's the one that was faithful and true, and his eyes were as a flame of fire.
And on his head were many crowns, all the piercing discernment. I was a flame of fire. On his head were many crowns. The last time the world saw that blessed one, he had a crown of Florence. When I see him again, he'll have many problems. That is many glories when he is.
And.
Doesn't even begin doing on his head. There were many.
And he had a name written that no man knew but he himself.
Now there are two names mentioned here. The one speaks of his humanity, and the other of his dear humanity is faithful and true.
And as it do, is dearly as a name written that no man himself to go on again, and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.
Now this is not the blood that was shedded cowboy. This is the blood that speaks of vengeance on his enemies. Back to the book of Isaiah. And he says I brought the wine press alone.
Records that run at the blood of his enemies on all his garments. It's not the blood of Christ, it's the blood of his enemies.
00:25:01
All the world set away with it, and he submitted it. He left.
Others get right to view this world as having murdered his son. You know there are two sides to the cross of Christ, the martyr sufferings and the sacrificial sufferings. You get the one in the 22nd Psalm and the other in the 69th Psalm. The 22nd sound begins with that cry of abandonment on the cross. My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?
Some ends with blessing. He comes forth in resurrection, declares his blood name unto his brother. He praises in the congregation and in the great congregation.
In all the nations of the world are going to come and even then there's going to be a people that shall be born. It will be always blessing and ever widening spirit. Like you would drop a kettle into them and it was still on your lake and you see those circles in the water increasing, increasing right up to it. Thanks.
Acts in 20 seconds. After the 69th time you get the martyr sufferings of Christ, and it closes with their table to make it a snare. Let their bow down their back always that one should have been, for their welfare be to their hurt.
God is going to fall on this world for what they did to His Son. The thing that makes me marvel is the patience and grace of God that is for and it has been marrying with this world for almost 2000 years after the cast is sent out.
Back and his name is called the Word of God.
I hear it speaks of each of you. His name is called the Word of God. Now we find all the word of God.
In John One, there you get his His creatorial power. We want an expression of God's power and creation. That blessed one was it. All things were created by Him.
Then you go.
In John One. Then he comes down and became flesh.
What a revelation of God and grace. You have to see it in Christ. There he reveals the heart of God. But the word of God here is going to be the perfect demonstration, the manifestation of God's righteous judgment.
Coming in judge of this matter.
And.
The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, cleaned, clothed in fine linens, white and fling, and out of his mouth full of a sharp sword that we did, He should smite the nations, He shall rule them on the rod of our air. And he treaded the wine progress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty.
And he act on his best friend on the thigh On his thigh a name written King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Here we get his deity and his humanity again Deity. His name is called the Word of God, Humanity, King of Kings and the Lord of the Lord. We we seldom find the one without finding the other close by.
Well, the Lord is coming back, Coming back with his Saints to execute. All will be in his trailer at there.
He says, you know to the overcomer in the Book of Revelation. He says dim that overcometh will I grant to sit with me my throne.
Any promises too that they should be with him when he makes his enemies as much as attack them as a powdered vessel?
There will be enemies will be dashed in pieces.
Well, what's next? Seven years? Remember that what we're getting here is the beginning of the day of the Lord.
This is man's day. Man has usurped God's place on the earth and he's taken over everything.
Man and the culmination of man's day will be the man of sin.
Man exalting himself to be his God. That would be the culmination of man's day. But the day of the Lord is ushered in when he comes out of heaven with the arms and heavens will execute judgment. And what does Joel say about the day of the Lord? It's a day of darkness and not like.
It's going to be a terrible time.
Day of the Lord comes.
Now he says, And I saw an Angel standing in the sun, and he cried under the with a loud voice, saying to all the vows that fly in the midst of heaven. Come and gather yourselves together unto the great supper of God.
00:30:09
How it should be that he made the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men both free and bond, both small and great.
Oh, what a carnage is going to be in the day when the Lord comes out of heaven to put down his enemies.
Here's a call to the power to come and eat their flesh. Great men, chief men, captains.
Today we have captains in all lines. We have captains of industry and we have captains in finance, and we have captains and all righteous of human endeavor. But it's all going to be level.
Haven't believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. They're going to meet the doom here mentioned here. Now the 19th person here is our third and our star each Each vision is separated by this. And I thought and I saw the beast that's the head of the revived Roman emperor.
Abandoned, Probably alive today, but there is no man on earth that can tell you for sure who he is, and all the speculation is useless.
No. It's one thing to interpret prophecy and another to become a prophet. Some of these prophetic teachers around the world became prophets, and they prophesied that Mussolini was the beast. Some of them went and told him so, but the litter, they got out on a lemon and then the limb broke. Then they were down.
I talked to our mail carrier one day and he was a Christian and I spoke to him about the nearness of the Lord's coming. Well, he said I used to enjoy those things and believe them, but he said I was spoiled. I only finished me when I said Mussolini was the beast and then he got killed. So.
In that kind of thing, men becoming prophets in their own right only brings the prophetic scriptures into disrepute.
I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse and against his arm.
Well, we learn elsewhere that God is going to send forth 3 unclean spirits to gather them together to the great jade of.
His wrath. It's not the battle of Armageddon it should be. It should read The War of Armageddon. That is a battle is 1 engagement, but the correct translation there is the war. When the Lord Jesus comes back to put down his enemies, he will not put them all down at an instant. There will be a series of engagements and every encounter will leave his foes dead.
And the beast and the kings of the earth were gathered together. Make war against it. Think of the dairy. You think they're daring now and trying to go to the moon?
But they're going to actually attempt to fight the Lord of Glory when he comes out of heaven.
But I want to ask you, what good will all their missiles and projectiles of one kind another do against one whose sword is in his mouth?
They won't fight the conventional war requirements. His sword is in his mouth.
Get a sample of it, you know, just a little sample of it. When they mob went to take him in the garden of Gethsemane and he says home and seek you, they said Jesus Nazareth. He said I am. They went backward and fell to the ground. Well, it could just as easily vanish them to hell at the time.
All power, but he lets them get up and take it. He submits. He goes with it. They couldn't have done it unless he permitted it. But here's one whose sword is in his mouth, and the beast was taken, and with him the false proud of the dwarf miracles before him.
This false prophet is a man that will be here in Jerusalem, the head of the Jewish nation.
And will be supported by the beast of the Roman Empire. And these two are working hand in glove. And when the Lord comes their clock in open handed rebellion against him, and these two were cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone.
00:35:10
The lake of fire was made for the devil and his angels.
These two men will be there first.
Over 1000 years before the devil will ever be ever reached. These two men are given no trial. They're caught in open handed rebellion, actually trying to fight against Christ. They're taking alive and cast bodily into the liquor fight. Now I submit that there will be three men who will have the same faith, the beast, the head of the revived Roman Empire.
And the head of the Jewish nation in Jerusalem for false prophet that works lying mirrors and.
The head of the Confederated Arab states that will be the replacement will be the future day King of the North, those enemies north of Palestine. The 83rd Psalm gives you the list of the 83rd Psalm gives you the list.
Now, to prove what I'm Speaking of, turn to Isaiah 30.
Isaiah 30.
31St verse For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smoke with the rock.
Last words we're talking is ordained of all.
Yeah, for the king also reads it that way. For the king also it is prepared. It is prepared, that is this place. This lake of fire is prepared of gold for the Assyrian and for the king also. And the king also is the head of the Jewish nation, that apostate head king also he has made it deep and large, the pilot of his fire in much wood, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone that came.
Now let's go back to the.
Local revelation, the last verse, the 19th chapter. And I saw the Rim and the remnant were slain with the sword of him and sat on the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Plenty of jobs. And I saw an Angel come down from heaven having to heal the bottomless pit or the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold of that dragon, the old the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan.
Found him 1000 years.
Here we find another thing that takes place with the advent of the Lord with the Saints. Satan who deceived the world is to be bound in the abyss for 1000 years. Now in the Old Testament we learned about the reign of Christ.
And we never get a key to how long it would be. We have to come to the 20th chapter of Revelation to find that it's 1000 years long.
In this chapter we get that repeated time and again, 1000 years Satan is bound for 1000 years. He's bound all during the millennial reign of practice.
But we find that wicked doers, those who commit over acts of with wickedness, will be destroyed every morning.
Instead of reading early, will I destroy the wicked of the land that should read every morning?
That is proof that man apart from new birth, man apart from a new life.
Is incorrigibly bad, even without the instigation of Satan, that there will be rebellion by man during the millennial reign of Christ. He won't be able to blame it on Satan. You know there are a lot of people who have to blame all their misdeeds on Satan, but it won't hold and the Millennium will be the proof that man is bad without.
Of course, all the jewels that go into the millennial earth will be.
Born again. There's no question about that.
00:40:00
And he cast him into the bottomless, bitter, the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more till the 1000 years should be fulfilled.
After that he must be loosed a little season. He is to be loosed for a little seasonal, in order to try the last multitude that were born on earth during the Millennium, who never had a trial, and and to show how unregenerate a man can do, they will rise up against Christ and his beneficent reign after all those thousand years.
Now the forces.
And I saw Thrones, and they sat alone, and judgment was given unto them, and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God. Now read this next a little different.
And those which had not received, which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark, and therefore answered in their hands, they lived and reigned with Christ 1000 years.
This is the last installment of the first Resurrection.
When we say first resurrection, we're using a scriptural term.
It is variously called the first resurrection, the resurrection from among the dead, the resurrection of the just, and a better resurrection. The Lord Jesus came forth from the tomb as the first fruits of them had slept.
And we see some that came forth after His resurrection. The great body of the resurrected Saints will come forth when the Lord comes for His Church.
Christ was the first Bruce, but then they'll be the great gathering in that harvest when the Lord comes for His Church, all the dead, and with faith in Christ, all the living, with faith in Christ.
All changed together and caught up to be with him forever. Not for 1000 years, but forever.
Well, here are two groups that are raised from the dead at the close of the tribulation period at the beginning of the Millennium. Who are they? Why, there are some that have faith in God during the tribulation period, during the whole 7 year period who were martyred for their faith and faithless.
Now there are two classes that are to be raised at that time. Turn to Revelation 6 and you see the first class.
Revelation 6 And verse 9. And when he had opened the 5th seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Oh Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given under every one of them. And it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season until their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed, as they worship people.
This is the first class mentioned in this fourth verse of the 19 the 20th of revolution those.
The souls of them which were beheaded for their witness of Jesus and for the word of God.
The other group are those that have not submitted to the beast and worship him nor his enemies, Find about them in 14 jackets and others. Now they're raised at the end.
Just as the Millennium begins and all those who died in faith are going to get a heavenly portion, they will not inherit the earth honor, but with Christ reigning over.
How we read again.
5th verse was the rest of the dead live? Not again until 1000 years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
That connection see with the last and start of the first resurrection. The first resurrection is a resurrection of character, not particularly of one time, but it's those that are raised from among the dead, those that are caught up for a heavenly force. The rest of the head, the unbelieving dead, live not again till 1000 years were finished.
00:45:05
6th verse Blessed and holy is he that hath parking the first resurrection on such this second death hath no power, that they shall be priests to God and of Christ, and shall reign with him 1000 years.
The second death may require a little word.
There are different kinds of deaths spoken of in Scripture, and each one implies separation.
Dead and trespasses and sins. A man is dead morally, spiritually, before God, and he's separated from God spiritually. He has not a movement of his heart toward God.
Then there are those that die. And what is natural death? It's the as a body without the spirit is dead. It's separation of body from the spirit, the spirit from the body. But the second death will be the separation of the whole man, body, soul and spirit are reversible, right? Spirit, soul and body from God for all eternity. That's the second. Always keep in mind that the work death complies separation.
Whether it's the spiritual death of Ephesians 2 or the death of the body or detective.
And when the seven verse 100,000 years expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go forth.
To deceive the nations which in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the battle. To battle the number of humans as the family decision, they went up on earth, the breath of the earth and the compass about the camp of the Saints and the beloved city of fire came down.
From God, out of heaven, and of our now. That's what will happen at the close of the millennial reign of the Christ. The millions and millions and millions born during the Millennium are going to be tested, and in spite of all the glorious rain of drugs, Satan will move many of them right up in Rebecca.
We go down.
In that chapter.
Lemongrass and I saw a great white drum.
And him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away, and there was found no place where. This is the dissolution of the whole system. And here is the great white Rd. seen in space.
And man right there.
With the gender to be raised and to be tried there Now the 12Th verse is your 7th, and I saw and I saw the dead small and greater different small standing for God.
And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works.
Let me make this comment.
There is a false teaching brought in crystal, that the Lord, that the man, the man of the world, the man who dies in his sins, will not be judged for his sin.
Only for rejecting Christ. That is false. They're going to be judged according to their works, those things written to books.
Some popular men in Christendom, right at the top and evangelical circles are all on that point. They say that it isn't the same question. It's the same question you have to face. Now I granted when you reject Christ, that's the crown of sin. But man is going to be judged for his same sins. According to the books. God has a record. And as Ecclesiastes closes, God shall bring every work into judgment.
Secret thing?
So it's all they're going to be judged according to their works. And there are two kinds of evidence that we presented negative and positive. Negative that their names were not written in the book of life, and positive the black catalog of their sex.
So the psalmist could say, ever not into the judgment with thy servant Let for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. If man has to stand before God to be judged, he's due and they're not in the judgment. I say John 524 is a blessing assurance of the believer that he will not bring the judge.
00:50:12
We go down to the well at the 13th verse yet. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and Death in Hades delivered up the dead which were in them Death, the being the confines of the body, and Hades the confines of the souls of the departed wicked people. And they were judged everyone, every man, according to his works. Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.
That which held the departed bodies and the departed spirits of the unbelieving are needed no more.
Let it be, no way that whole contents are ended up entered into the.
Cast out into the lake of fire.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire. Now that completes your seven. And I saw the seven vision, did not John got from the one of the coming of Christ to execute judgment right up until the eternal spin. Now the next one, the last one, is the 8th 1:00 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth rhythm.
Heaven and the first earth were fled away, and there was no more sea. Now we're introduced to the eternal state.
My, my dog here and we find.
A new evidence in the new earth where him dwelleth righteousness according to from second Peter you know the day of God is coming.
And 1St the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and there's going to be new heavens and new earth, and that will be known as the day of God.
Today is man's day when the Lord comes to execute judgment personally. It will be the day of the Lord, and that will run on and on through the Millennium and even the day of the Lord until He completes all judgment, for He is the judge at the Great White Throne. Incidentally, there's a statement here that should be corrected.
Well first, and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne.
It's land, that one. The Son of Man is the judge in each case. Each.
Scene of Judgment.
Now then, we're introduced to the new heavens and the new earth, the day of God. And you could get very little in the scripture about the day of God. Turn with me to second Peter.
And the last chapter and the 12Th verse, looking for and hasting under the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for a new new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. We might say that today righteousness is preached and you might suffer for righteousness. In the day of the Millennium righteousness will reign. King shall rule in righteousness and Princess and children.
In judgment. But in the millennia wherein dwelleth righteousness, it will be the settled state. In the day of God that righteousness will dwell there. What a day that will be, and that will be the full conflict of what we read in John 129. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, then all sinners.
All its fruit, all its had consequences, error, retrace of sin, will be removed from God's creation, and it will be the day of God wherein God shall dwell with men and he shall heal, dwell with men on earth in the church.
The Church will be that His dwelling place, but he will delight to dwell with men and never get nations in connection with the eternal state. It's men.
And then in First Corinthians 15.
You get the other mention of eternal state.
00:55:01
Whoa, whoa.
The 28th Verse, And when all things shall be subdued unto him.
He's going to raise the law interest of you.
This then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him to put all things under him.
That God may be All in all. He retains his place in manhood, and he delivers up the Kingdom that he has exercised for God. That God may be all and all God. When you say God, it isn't the Father. Now it's God as God.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and God may be all gone, and you see how that ties in with the day of God from second Peter. And I think these are the only references to the eternal state. The third verse of our chapter I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and evil dwell with them.
5th verse And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all that he knew. And he said unto me, right? For these words were true and faithful. Isn't it the remarkable thing that when God reveals his purpose to bring in this perfect settle mistake, that will be according to his own mind and his own thoughts, that he has to say these things are true and thing because math is so slow to believe, he also gets in the mixture.
Sayings are fake.
Why God should have to remind this attack when telling us of what such a glorious time is coming? Oh, what a solemn thing it will be for those that die in their sins and are raised to stand before the throne, the great white throne they judged for their wicked words, and they sent away bodies, soul and spirit into the lake of fire. The Outer Gods, that management from God for all eternity. What a time that would be.
Well, that's the 8th.
Just as you have in the.
23rd of Leviticus you have the seven days of the feast of Taverns, 7 being the complete cycle, and like seven days to the week, and then after the Millennium and seven days of the feast of the Great of the Tamarinds, the closing crowning beast. In Israel history it's supplemented by and on the eighth day, as though God would remind us back there that I'm going to go beyond the Millennium, I'm going to bring in a settle, a state that will last.
New beginning they hate and so.
Our.
