1. Jaqueline your statement does not line up with the Word. Where did you hear this; from Creflo Dollar or some other televangelical heretic? Because what you said sounds like the flawed teachings of Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland and the like. Mike’s article is truthful to scripture text, and your “theory” is not.

2. My dear sister in Christ, I have a King James version bible and it does NOT say the EARTH will lie in ruins for 1,000 yrs while all saved people are in Heaven. The verses you quoted from do not say that! (Rev. 20; 2-3). Thus your statement about this is “adding to the Word” and is your theory only. Your comment about Satan tempting “dead resurrected souls” after the 1,000 yr period is again not stated as such in the scriptures, in fact it makes no sense for the final act of Satan to deceive people to rebel who already rebelled against God? Where would the “deception aspect” fit in? This is not logical and absolutely does not line up with the ACTUAL text of Rev.20; 7-10. So no, I reckon some of your comments are not scriptural and you need to re-evaluate what you’ve been taught or concluded on your own. By the way, no one at this point in time knows for sure what the mark of the best will look like, either. You are presuming you ready know what it will be. God bless you, please go back and read your biible as it does not say some of the things you keep posting here.

   1. I agree with everything you replied! How could I not, you are going by the word of the Lord! Some (well alot) of people have their own ideas that either they have been falsely taught, or it’s just their own opinion. Either way, everyone needs to BE AWARE that what they see, hear, or read has to match up with what God’s word tells us in the bible! There is so much deception out there, so you just have to be careful!

   2. @Watcher, I have always understood that the 100 years of peace why the devil and his followers are in hell. After 1000 years they will be released and then Judged this is when the.people who followed Jesus christ will go to heaven with the rest of the people restricted.

   3. @Watcher, I have a question though about whether sending the devil to hell is a his reward not a punishment. If God is perfect and I believe he is, then the devil was part if his plan. If there was a hierarchy to things God is the top Jesus and the devil testing our free will by giving us the choice to do good or evil.

3. Sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about –
   and it sounds like you do not either, for your unexplanation
   is weird?
   I admit my explanations leave something to be desired and I
   tend to talk gobbledegook.
   I usually learn something while I am working it out what to
   say, and that is a blessing to me.
   The saints would usually mean the angelic host, for instance.
   “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
   prison.
   And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters
   of the earth … … to gather them together to battle; the number of
   whom is as the sand of the sea.” Rev 20: 7-8

   “Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them
   The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy
   habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a
   shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the
   earth.
   A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a
   controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give
   them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
   Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation
   to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the
   earth.
   And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth
   even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither
   gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. Jeremiah 25: 30-33

   “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall
   remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
   And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one
   sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
   Lord.
   And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have
   transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their
   fire be quenched;and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” Is 66: 22-24

   ” … …
   That ye may eat 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.
   … … And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth; and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” Rev 19: 17-21

   “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
   And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
   Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the
   tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
   For without are dogs (not the animal kind), and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” Rev 22: 11-15

4. Clearly Jacqueline, none of the scripture verses you have copied here provide proof of your theories. As I stated earlier, Rev. 20; 2-3 does NOT say the earth will be uninhabited and lie in ruin for 1,000 yrs. Read it. Those words do not exist in that particular verse or anywhere else in the bible! Therefore how can you honestly say I don’t know what I am talking about, when I use THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD of which I have not added to, as you have? Jesus gave us a grave warning about adding to OR taking away from the scriptures in Revelations 22:18-19. So what is your excuse for doing this? You are saying that the day of Sunday will be the Mark of the Beast, not a literal mark. Again this goes against scripture. Are you a Seventh Day Adventist?
    
   Seventh Day Adventists believe worshiping the Lord on the first day of the week, rather than the seventh day, is taking the Mark of the Beast. What can we know about the Mark of the Beast from KJV BIBLE SCRIPTURES? (That which we use to reveal all truths of God).

   The Mark of the Beast will be a literal mark, it will not be some kind of “spiritual” or non-physical mark, or a day of worship. Revelations mentions many times the beast’s number, and it is the number of a MAN. A MAN. And HIS number is 666. Once you accept the physical mark, whatever it may be (we do not know for sure what it will look like) of course you are then “spiritually sealed” as well, to the Antichrist, the false prophet, and Satan, and will be doomed to the Lake of Fire (eternal torment) with them – REV 20:10.

   According to the Greek text, the Mark of the Beast will not be under or “in” the skin such as a chip implant, but rather it will be “on” the skin. From the bible:  “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on (epi) the forehead or on (epi) the hand”….

   The Greek word used to describe the location of the Mark is epi, which means “on” or “over,” and not eis, which means “in” or “into.”

   Therefore we should conclude the MARK OF THE BEAST will be a literal mark ON the forehead or right hand that will later cause a foul and loathsome SORE as stated in REV 16:2 and REV 16:11. This judgment of God against those people who take the Mark of the Beast and also worship his image, is similar to the 6th Egyptian plague when Pharaoh would not comply to release the hebrews-EX 9:9-11. Finally, the bible tells us how people without the mark will NOT be able to buy anything, or sell anything. How does your idea of the mark being a day of worship line up with this part of scripture – REV 13:16-18? None of the theory of the Mark being a day of worship lines up with scripture. None. There could possibly be a specific day declared to worship the Beast, no doubt there will be because of a “one world religion and government”. But, to say a DAY is the actual Mark of the Beast is ridiculous as it does not adhere to the Word.

   1. Thank you Watcher for your comment. Yes, it does sound like SD Adventist doctrine. They have a number of issues in their teachings.
      However, after being among them this past year (my wife is an Adventist), They do have a few things very right. Salvation by grace through faith is the Biggie they have right. Second, they are more evangelistic than any other main-line denomination (they are NOT a cult). Thirdly, they are very emphatic about the Lord’s soon return and the “Rapture” of the church.
      Let’s face it; despite all the graphs, charts and writings, none of us has the whole picture quite as well as we would like people to believe. Everyone has their well-thought-out teaching and can find errors with everyone else’s. Let it suffice to say that we can expect the Lord’s return for His church and pray that it come soon.
      I once told a pastor that, whatever we believe about the endtimes, it must line up with Matthew chapter 24 because those are Christ’s words and His description. Test your beliefs against that and see how they line up in chronological order as He gave them. He was less than happy with me because his did not. Do yours? No trick plays or going around the simplicity of His description. Simple English, chronological order, same-same. Tests of the rest must line up with Matthew 25 and 26. Tough stuff there. Some ministers like to throw out the Greek text ploy here and tell you some song-and-dance. Don’t buy it.

   2. @Watcher, I just want to chime in slightly. My grandmother was Seventh Day Adventist and did Believe in the sabbath and keeping it Holy. However I have never heard that the mark of the beast will be Sunday. While attending church with her the Seventh-day Adventist preacher taught that the Mark of the Beast Will be something that is given on the forehead or hand visible. I’m not sure about the confusion about Sunday being acceptance of the Mark.

5. First of all, your expectation that I think all the information on this website is true, is a false expectation (to go along with the false comments you made about several scripture verses). I commented that THIS ARTICLE aligned with the bible, but your comments about certain things in this article did not, and I proved that by posting the scripture references to back up my remarks. You cannot deny that as your words are here in print! Yet you keep skirting around that you said these things AS FACT that are not in the bible text! You can “laugh” but anyone can look up these scriptures and see that you have embellished them with your OWN beliefs and interpretations. This “topic” if you will, has nothing to do with the horrendous suffering of Christians throughout the ages. One could easily go throughout history and find atrocities that could easily fit the descriptions of some of the events and “tribulations” of Revelations. The key word is “some”. They all have to fit. You’re right, I haven’t visited your website, because as proven by your comments here, you believe things that are not scriptural and therefore hold no spiritual value. Some of your beliefs could be harmful and lead a person astray if they are not careful to actually read these bible verses themselves. I shudder to think of someone in the future accepting the Mark of the Beast on their body because they read what you posted about it being the day Sunday and not a literal mark! The only reason why I’m debating you now is to help someone who may read these comments and hopefully use discernment to believe God’s word and not your “ideas” that you present as fact. I humbly present the WORD and nothing more. I don’t pretend to have all the answers as you do, however I will take a stand for the Word of God when someone like you publishes things about scripture that are NOT FOUND IN THE VERSE (you keep speaking of the Law? We are warned by Jesus himself against adding to the Words in Revelation and that we would be CURSED if we do this….are you still laughing at running the risk of being cursed?)
   Lastly, I never stated that I believed the beast was a person. I agree with this interpretation being the Roman Papal system because it follows actual scripture clues. However I reiterate that your other comments about the Mark of the Beast and the earth being “the bottomless pit” and being void of all life and in ruins for 1,000 yrs., as well as all the DEAD being resurrected and deceived to fight the last battle with God–NONE OF THIS FOLLOWS ACTUAL SCRIPTURE and I proved that by using the very scripture references you “enhanced”. Now you can keep arguing this but your words are in print and so are the bible’s words as evidence…..need I still say more? I’m reproving you with love and concern as Christ would do. So nothing else you can say here matters, with the exception that you can now see the error of your beliefs on these particular scriptures according to the Word of God….perhaps you’ll continue to stay in denial of what the actual biblical text really says, but I pray no one believes these aforementioned ideas of yours as their very souls may depend on it! (as with your misconstrued meaning of the Mark of the Beast). That is crucial to God’s people living in those times.

6. You do not want to listen and so you do not want me to talk.
   It is not my site and so I only wish to maintain that the
   mark of the beast IS sun day or first day of the week. Given
   to us from the RC Church in the fourth century.
   Tell me this, do you observe the sabbath or sun day?
   You cite Rev 16: 2
   “And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;
   and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
   which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which
   worshipped his image”
   Right, this wrath of God is here poured out upon sunday keepers.
   Only those who have the ‘mark’ or name of the beast suffer.
   The ‘image of the beast’ is those protestants who maintain also
   the mark of the beast, and these too will receive sores.
   These all break the first commandment, choosing to obey Rome’s
   dictate.
   The second angel:
   “And the second angel lpoured out his vial upon the sea; and it
   became as blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in
   the sea.”
   The ‘beast’ arose from the ‘sea of nations’ of Europe, and shed
   the blood of countless millions during the wilderness times of
   its rule; therefore blood is returned in the sea. A beast that
   took away the second commandment, making the third second, fourth
   third, and so on. The tenth made both ninth and tenth. Only
   those who ‘keep’ God’s true commandments will be saved.
   The third angel:
   “And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains
   of waters; and they became blood.”
   This plague comes closer to the habitation of men upon the land.
   All water supplies will be contaminated just as the Law of God was.
   “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given
   them blood to drink; for they are worthy.” v.6
   The fourth angel:
   “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was
   given unto him to scorch men with fire.”
   This comes as retribution for the breaking of the fourth commandment.
   Yet stubborness and evil resolution will not change these from Satan
   worship to Godly worship:
   “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God
   which had power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him
   glory.” v.9
   The fifth angel:
   “And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast;
   and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues
   for pain. v. 10
   This plague will strike upon the beast’s seat of power in Rome.
   A kingdom full of darkness, for it began with darkness and faded
   to paleness and the ruin of countless million of followers, as well
   those who were murdered for their faith in God and disobedience to Rome.
   The fifth commandment tells us to honour our father and mother, but
   here a man who never married calls himself The Holy Father, as well
   as Lord God the Pope. God will repay such wickedness in painful retribution.
   The sixth angel:
   “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates;
   and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the
   east might be prepared.” v. 12
   Satan incites men to global war – east against west; a religious war
   in the name of God, whose god is not of heaven on either side!
   The earth drying up with global warming because of the neglect of mankind
   to care for our world. Evil in man’s heart leads him to follow Satan,
   and God’s creation will be ruined.
   “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
   dragon (Satan’s paganism listened to), and out of the mouth of the beast
   (Roman Catholicism/the beast has mighty following, even by force), and
   out of the mouth of the false prophet (image of the beast/or apostate
   Protestantism with countless false beliefs).
   For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
   unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
   the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” v. 13-14
   The seventh angel:
   “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came
   a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,
   it is done.” v. 17
   When all of nature is in turmoil, and ruin, our Lord will come in the air
   to deliver His people and bring them up to meet Him in the air, and take
   them to heaven (for a thousand years).
   Destruction follows:
   ” … And there was a great earthquake … and the cities of the nations
   fell … and every island fled away, and the mountains were not found …
   and there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven …” v. 18-21

   1. @jacqueline petrucci, you are not following God‘s word you are producing false doctrines be careful God warns about leading his children astray. Maybe a babe in Christ might believe what you say but anyone with knowledge can see you are manipulating the word. Be blessed.

7. No Jacqueline, I AM listening. This is why I can’t support your unscriptural views. Now you’ve added even MORE CRAZINESS to the mix. Dear girl how and why did you some up with these conclusions? I have to point out: 1) The false prophet has to be a PERSON, not an image or apostate Protestant beliefs. How do I know this? The scripture says in REV 19:20-….these two were CAST ALIVE into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. Also see REV 20:10- “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE. And THEY (not an inanimate object or philosophy as they are said to be cast ALIVE) will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Tell me how an inanimate object or a belief can a) be alive and b) be tormented????? So another one of your theories bites the dust. Scripture does NOT support your idea. 2) The Mark of the Beast will be a LITERAL mark, NOT THE DAY OF SUNDAY. I proved that in comments above with scripture. Tell me, in your argument that the Mark is a day (Sunday), you had no defense for the “day” being a reason no one could buy or sell without it- REV 13:17. Tell me how people will be able to distinguish whom to sell to and whom to buy from, if the mark is nothing more than a day? That’s IMPOSSIBLE. Granted there will most likely be a unified and enforced day of worship to honor the Beast and Satan, but that day COULD NOT BE THE ACTUAL & LITERAL MARK. The imposed day of worship and the literal MARK to identify Satan’s followers have to be two separate entities according to scripture! (The magic phrase throughout my comments that are BASED ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE not CONJECTURE. 3) The Beast rising out of the sea is the AntiChrist, most likely the last Roman Catholic POPE, (666) and his power. Again scripture says the Beast is cast ALIVE into the lake of fire and eternally tormented, therefore the beast must be a “living thing” not just a “power or government” only as you stated. It is impossible to punish an inanimate object. 4)The rest I already disproved in comments above. I believe you have good intentions Jacqueline, but almost all your conclusions are proven wrong by the Word of God, the actual scriptures. You just can’t omit or ADD certain things to fit your agenda!! And this you have done over and over again. It’s very sad and in the case of your declaration of the Mark of the Beast being the day of Sunday and not a literal mark, very dangerous as well.

8. You prove to me you do not understand the spiritual mode of God’s Word.
   No person will be tormented for ever and ever.
   This is figurative and only means they will never live again.
   God could never be literally capable of making anyone suffer for ever
   and ever, though you actually say so.
   God is Love. I love the Lord. You simply love your own diatribe.
   You ought to ponder this for a while. Do not be so self-righteous
   that you have to be right.
   The Bible is not an ordinary book but is the Word of God. I would not
   dare to tell lies concerning it.
   I hold the Holy Spirit within and think twice before I speak.
   To lead others astray would never be my intension.
   All the lies and falsehoods, all the wrong religious beliefs, all those
   who want to have power (Satan’s power) will be cast into the lake of fire.
   So I think the pope and his church leaders will constitute a big part of
   who the false prophet is. You have to give God’s Word some spiritual
   interpretation. And don’t call me girl, thanks, as I am quite old!

9. Another thing I didn’t mention, the Beast, the Devil and the False Prophet ARE NOT DESTOYED, as you stated in comments above. Again you’ve taken artistic license to change the actual words of the verse. …………………… The verse says the 3 of them will be TORMENTED in the lake of fire and brimstone FOR EVER AND EVER. That is what is says. Not destroyed. Not annihilated. Why do you keep changing the Word to suit your beliefs? How can anyone give your beliefs any validity when by doing so you go against the Holy Spirit whose inspiration wrote these words?…………………………….To know God the Father you have to know Jesus His only begotten Son….without accepting Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior you cannot know the true God. All you talk about is the Law and keeping the Sabbath as if observing these things alone secures you a trip to Heaven. Jesus Christ is LORD OF THE SABBATH. He explains this in MARK 2:22-28!! He also said “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath” in those verses (MARK 2:27)………………………… Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. The Sabbath keeping nor the Law cannot save you or take away your sins. Only faith and belief in Jesus Christ by the Grace of God can. Period.

10. Ms. Jacqueline with all due respect, as I said before I believe you have good intentions. I’m not being self righteous…….that would be very foolish of me. I realize some parts of the bible are allegorical, and some are to be taken literally as written. Your approach is take all of the scripture of Revelations as figuratively. Now even though your intentions are good, you cannot deny you have quoted some scripture INCORRECTLY, as to fit your beliefs………………………….. Now again you’re making God fit into YOUR image of who you want Him to be by spreading the falsehood of Annihilation. You say God is a God of love (He is) so you use your HUMAN UNDERSTANDING to conclude God would not allow eternal torment in the lake of fire. Yet His Word says that HE WOULD throughout the bible, not just in Revelations but in ISaiah 66:24, and Jesus warned about it as well in MARK 9:43-48, about being “cast into hell fire where their worm DOES NOT DIE, and the FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. How can you then still say this is figurative? I’m sorry but to say this is against scripture, and is just as wrong as to say there is no Hell, even though Jesus talked about it specifically in the case of the death of a beggar named Lazarus and the rich man in LUKE 16:19-31……………………………… We are not to judge God’s actions as they are all done in His perfect righteousness, and His ways and thoughts are higher than ours, as God says about Himself in ISaiah 55:8-9……………………………….. As you should be aware, it is we who during our lifetime choose eternal torment over eternal bliss after physical death. God gave us His Son and Jesus gave us His very life, so hopefully we believe and accept this free gift to choose heaven over hell. Eternal torment (of varying degrees according to your sins) is a better deterrent to chose Life with God/Jesus than simply being destroyed by God and having no afterlife at all. With no remorse, punishment, or consequences millions of people would choose Annihilation after death so they could willfully sin and have no part in the Authority and Lordship of Jesus Christ. Being a true Christian set apart from the ways of the world is not a cake walk as it forces you to take accountability for all your actions. If rejecting Jesus Christ only meant annihilation as a result, many more people would be lost forever, never to enjoy God’s perfect will and love. Therefore God’s and Jesus’s warnings about Hell are true and literal in every sense of Their Word.

11. Dear Jacqueline: Thus Saith the LORD GOD, Maker of Heaven and Earth and Everything Therein:

    Jesus the Christ Returns to Earth to Rule and Reign and his Saints with Him, Not in Heaven

    “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? (1 Corinthians 6:2)

    The song of the redeemed is, that Christ has made us “kings and priests: and we shall reign on earth”, (Revelation 5:10.)

    “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4)

    “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5

    “For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.”(Psalms 37:22)

    “For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” (Psalms 37:9)

    Revelation 20:6: states that Christ will reign for one thousand years after the Great Tribulation.

    And he will do so, on earth for, “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him…” (Rev. 1:7)

    “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” (Zechariah 14:4)

    “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.” (Acts 1: 6-12)

    “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations.” (Revelation 2:26)

    “But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.” (Daniel 7:18)

    “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” On Earth! “But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:4-6)

    “…and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom … Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High … His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.” (Daniel 7:22,27)

    Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established at the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations far off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree. And no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.” (Micah 4:1-4)

    Thus says the Lord: ‘I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain.’ (Zechariah 8:3)

    “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 2:10-12)

    “… and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, where My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” (Ezekiel 37:26-27)

    “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.” (Ezekiel 43:5-7)

    The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord, and seek the Lord of hosts. I myself will go also.” Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts; ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’ ” (Zechariah 8:21-23)

    “And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:16-18 )

    “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; … and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, the nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” (Isaiah 11:6-9)

    “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. ” (Rev. 21: 1-3)

    “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.” (Rev. 21:22-26)

    1. AMEN…..Christ will rule from Jerusalem after he comes back to save his people Israel as per the nations coming against Israel as in Ezekiel chapter 39 and stands on mount of Olives and splits east to west with the greats earth quake to create the highest mountain for Ezekiel temple can be build by Christ to rule and the nations to come and worship for 1000 years as promised.Israel will have there whole land as promised to Abraham from river nile to Euphrates river.the dead sea cvome aluve again with fish etc…….
       WE will have the feast of tabernacle for ever and from worship every sabbath .
       To have kings and priests you must have people to teach who not saved durring the millennium period who never heard of Christs salvation message.
       PLEASE trust in the word of the Lord YHVH as its a WORD OF SURIETY FOREVER.

12. To the watcher:
    I think I forgot to mention, for you said how can a sunday mark
    be identified?
    I will tell you.
    The image of the beast is apostate protestantism..
    The beast is of course the RC Church.
    The USA has all the power to maintain sunday worship
    and will soon enough change its Constitution to
    make sunday the one day of worship to God (?)
    Then all of Christendom will follow this, and already
    does in actuality anyway, as does most USA churches.
    So here will be the union of church and state.

    1. This is what I haven’t read in KJV, first the Mark of the Beast Rev13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three-score and six which stands for 666, Rapture is when Jesus comes in the clouds to gather His children who are saved and live for the Lord, obey his commandments, will be called up together to meet and go to Heaven, then the 7 yrs tribulation starts, after that then the devil gets lick in chains for 1,000 yes, there will be peace on Earth, ( oh before I forget in Rev 13:16-17 the mark of the beast the number will be in your forehead or your right hand, you can’t buy, sell, trade, but if you take that mark, some think it will be like a microchip planted under your skin,, cause the Bible say, in their forehead, and if you take that mark you will go to hell, so now after peace on Earth then there is Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus, that’s when the devil is lose and gets all his people and Jesus and all his saints and there is war, Jesus wins, all the sinner’s and the devil will be slayed, the beast and false prophets, false prophets means preacher that don’t preached the true word of God,ect, a prophet is a person, man or women, then all sinner’s will be judged and trone in a lake of fire forever and ever, the Bible says they will burn eternally, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, This is MY believes

Of course Christians should not take part in some kind of forced Mark or Day of worship; whatever that may be……………………………………………………. I find it amusing that people of your faith (maybe you haven’t officially joined them but there’s no denying you believe and post word for word here and on your website SDA doctrine) pick and choose what they want to be taken “spiritually” and what they want to taken literally, to fit your beliefs on Annihilation, Revelations, etc etc. ……………………………….OH lastly thank you for your vaguely disguised remark calling me a LIAR and saying I belong in the lake of fire with Satan.

At the end of the 1000 year period, Satan is released, the second resurrection occurs and Satan gathers an army of nations surrounding the Holy City.

17. Bob,
    The question of how believers are protected during the wrath is a good one. The Bible appears to indicate that When Christ comes in the clouds it is during His 2nd (and final) coming to Earth, rather than a brief layover in the clouds to gather believers before returning to Heaven. Otherwise Christ would have to come 3 times, which is simply not found anywhere in the Bible.

    There are many things that we are uncertain about regarding the timeline at the end, but it seems we should be careful to avoid forcing the Bible to make complete sense to us now by way of adding to (or subtracting from) what is written. I too have many questions, and will continue studying in the hopes of finding the answers through the Holy Spirit.

    blessings on your reading 🙂

    1. The fullness of the Gentiles will have come in… When the anti-Christ is in control it is all about the Elect (the Jewish ppl there in Israel) think about it,when he goes into the holy of holies where he should not be and then says he is God at THAT moment those in Judea are told to flee into the wilderness where a place has been prepared to protect those who left the city bc those who stay will not worship the anti Christ bc the Jewish ppl know who G-d is and the beheadings will begin.I need to look up the scriptures,but I think the catching away may happen on at the same time as the great and fearful day of the Lord when Israel is surrounded by the nation’s and they call on God. Also Ezekiel teaches that during the reign of Christ on earth there will be animal sacrifices as part of teaching our Jewish brothers and sister that died UNDER the law that those SACRFICES are no longer acceptable or needed.

18. Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for the reply. My confusion really has to do with the time-frame 1000 years after the tribulation (God’s wrath) at the end of the Millennial Reign.

    The believers that have reigned with Jesus on earth for 1000 years are then suddenly joined by the unbelievers. The believers will apparently be scattered around earth, outside of the new Jerusalem, to the point where they have nations.

    Rev 20:9 describes Satan the gathering of the wicked for war, surrounding new Jerusalem. A lot of detail is actually provided.

    So my confusion is about the believers. Are they actually scattered around the earth during the 1000 year period? Is there any indication they moved after Satan is released from the abyss?

19. Hi Bob,

    I agree that is interesting/confusing. So far I have mainly focused my studies on events that occur before the Millennium, because I figure once it begins we’ll have plenty of time to obtain the answers!

20. Dear Jacqueline: Thus Saith the LORD GOD Maker of Heave and Earth and Everything therein…

    The Mark of the Beast is a “LITERAL” Mark a person will have the option of taking on their “RIGHT HAND or FOREHEAD” in order to “BUY or SELL” Anything when the Antichrist is in power, as it is written in Rev.13:16-18, which states:

    “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

    Reply

21. Hello Bob, after reading your questions carefully, it appears that the confusion you have is derived from certain events of Revelations taken out of order. Please correct me if am wrong, but it appears you believe the same as the Seventh Day Adventists, who say all the saved people will be in Heaven for 1,000 yrs. while Christ reigns with them? From what I see in actual Revelations scripture, the Bible says after the 1,000 yrs have expired, Satan, who had been bound by Jesus in the bottomless pit, was now released from his prison to deceive the nations…..therefore during that 1,000 yr reign of Christ and His people are living upon the earth, not everyone in Heaven………………………………Why else would Jesus say that nations that will not come to pay homage will receive no rain, and that they must celebrate the Feast Of Tabernacles? OR that in those days people will live to be an old age (fullness of their days)? This cannot apply to the new earth as death is gone, and this cannot apply to Heaven either as death does not exist in Heaven, therefore we must conclude the 1,000 yr reign will take place on EARTH with people on earth repopulating it…………………………………………….
    Another thing that needs addressed is there is NO NEW JERUSALEM coming to the earth at this point in time. This does not happen until AFTER the 1,000 yr period where the FINAL BATTLE of Gog & Magog takes place, and the devil is finally cast into the Lake of Fire with the Beast and False Prophet. Then comes the destruction of the Earth, REV 20:11 (the earth and heaven fled away), then the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT, where unbelievers are judged from the Second Resurrection of all the dead……………………………….Now after all this, Revelations says since the first Earth and Heaven passed away, John saw a NEW EARTH and a NEW HEAVEN- REV 20:21. This is important—-THIS is when the NEW JERUSALEM, the holy, glorious and beyond beautiful city made of precious metals and gemstones, with the river of life running from the Throne of God and Jesus, descends from Heaven to the newly created earth, which no longer has oceans. Now there is no more death, crying, or sorrow! Jesus proclaims “IT IS DONE!” and “I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW”- REV 21:4-6. Praise the Lord!!!

22. Watcher, that was both accurate and concise. Thank you 🙂

23. Hey, thank you Watcher. Perhaps I have the chronology wrong. That would do it.

    I am not familiar with the 7th Day Adventist view, but from what you describe I do not adhere to their belief. I’ll try to summarize the chronology as I understand it.

    * The rapture of the church occurs prior to the end of Daniel’s 70th week. The believers go to heaven and are with the Lord. Since Jesus promised they would be with Him for eternity, I would think wherever Jesus goes the resurrected church would go with Him.

    * Rev 20:1-3 Satan thrown into the abyss.

    * Daniel’s 70th week is finished which includes God’s wrath. The bowl judgements are part of these and the earth is destroyed as we know it. Mountains collapse, islands sink, fire rains down, etc.

    * Jesus returns to earth and rules for 1000 years. I don’t believe scripture says when He returns during the 1000 year period. It must be after God’s wrath is over, yet before the 2nd resurrection.

    * Jesus lives on earth in Jerusalem with His resurrected people. Isaiah 65:19-23 “Jerusalem will bring me joy, and my people will bring me happiness.”

    * Rev 20:5 The second resurrection of all those that were not resurrected at the beginning of the 1000 year period.

    * Rev 20:7-8 Satan is released from the abyss. Satan is said he will be deceiving the nations and will gather the wicked for war.

    * Rev 20:9 “They went up on the broad plain of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the beloved city…”.

    OK, some of my confusion must be about Jerusalem. Rev 20:9 speaks of Satan surrounding the beloved city where the saints reside. Isaiah 65:19-23 specifically says Jesus and the saints will be in Jerusalem.

    As you point out, this cannot be the new Jerusalem as Rev 21 says there will be no more death. The Jerusalem described in Isaiah 65 mentions some people will die when they 100 years old.

    Are there two Jerusalems? John 14 says believers have a destination when He returns to take us to heaven.

    John 14:2-3 There are many dwelling places in my Father’s house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you. And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too.

    Zechariah 8:3 and Isaiah 65:19-23 both say Jesus will reside in Jerusalem on earth. Rev. 20:9 says Satan is surrounding the Holy City where the saints reside.

    Will His people be taken to heaven to live in His father’s house, but later leave that place (in heaven) when they return to earth with Jesus during the 1000 years? And then that Jerusalem will be replaced by a new Jerusalem after the end of the 1000 year period?

    This sort of brings us back to my original question about where the believers reside on earth during the 1000 year period. Isaiah 65:19-23 says they are in Jerusalem, and Zechariah 8:21-22 says some are residing in nations around the world where they return to Jerusalem to seek the Lord. I can understand that. But when Satan is released, his army surrounds the Holy city and the saints. Is Jerusalem so large that all of God’s people from all the nations are able to be within its walls as Satan’s army surrounds it?

    What do I have wrong?

24. Dear Watcher Man
    Here was I thinking you had deleted all my witness but
    yet it is here in this subject.
    I want to announce that I was in error on a certain
    subject, and that was the crucifixion times/days.
    Now I find (seek and ye shall find) that Christ was
    crucified on Wednesday the 14th of Nisan AD31.
    Therefore He was in the tomb for three days and nights:
    Thursday night,
    Thursday daytime,
    Friday night,
    Friday daytime,
    Saturday night,
    Saturday daytime.
    He rose from the dead after the sabbath of rest ended.

    A day being from 6pm to 6am and 6am to 6pm.
    The sacrificial lambs were chosen on the 10th.
    Christ rode into Jerusalem at that time and the
    people certainly chose Him on that day.
    Then kept four days before being killed and eaten.
    Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover with
    unleavened bread (unleaven/taking away sin)
    and wine, on Wednesday evening.
    Then they went to Gethsemane where Judas betrayed
    him with a kiss. The crowd with him sent from
    the priests, and carried staves and swords.
    Taken back to the priests, scribes, and elders,
    Christ was questioned throughout the night but
    opened not His mouth.
    Sent on to Pontius Pilate, the crowd then decided
    His fate, crying “Crucify Him”. He was then
    mocked and beaten by the Roman soldiers, and taken
    to Golgotha where He was crucified about 9am.
    He died about 3pm as the lambs were being killed.
    Buried quickly before the Thursday sabbath drew on,
    before the Thursday arrived at 6pm.
    That Thursday sabbath being a High Day or annual sabbath.
    These sabbaths fell on different days each year
    yet called sabbaths, of the Ordinance Laws(no longer applicable
    to us).
    Thursday was the first day of the seven day Feast of Unleavened
    Bread, until the 21st another annual sabbath day.
    So Wednesday was the Preparation Day making ready for the Feast.
    Thursday the Feast and sabbath/rest day.
    Friday an ordinary day within the Feast.
    Saturday the weekly sabbath of rest.

    So we can see that the ‘Christian’ easter is wrong.

    1. ALL holidays are pagan! Yeshua/Jesus did give one sign,as Jonah was in the belly of the fish so shall He be in the heart of the earth. Jesus understood time as He created it. Did He once say are there 12 hrs in a day and 12 hrs in a night? So I agree to say Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose on Sunday just does not add up to 72 hrs bc Jesus did keep Sabbath and this whole sunrise service is pagan practices as well.

26. I thank all for allowing me to correct my error.
    We learn as we go.
    By the way, I am not affiliated with any church.
    Here where I live we have only sunday worship
    and I do not believe in that. It breaks the 4th Law.
    I keep the sabbath, and do not work or use public
    transport, go shopping, and so on.
    May I say again as there is much misunderstanding,
    and then I will leave yous be:
    I do not hold with a millenium reign on earth.
    We today await our Lord’s coming in the air to
    gather His elect and take us to heaven’s mansions.
    At the brightness of His coming (in the air and
    not on earth) the world will suffer the catastrophe
    of destruction. We will actually escape a world war.
    Before this coming, Satan will recognise the end
    times and will pretend to be Christ come. He controls
    a third of the angels and all will pretend to support
    him as the heavenly host. However, as these all are
    earthbound, (cast out of heaven) they cannot be seen
    to come in the air. Satan’s big hoax, appearing to be
    Christ. For the second coming of Christ is called His
    appearing. Not His arrival! Appearing in the air.
    Just as He promised when He left this earth; He rose up
    or ascended into heaven.
    We will rise up to meet Him in the air and be taken to
    heaven, to inherit those promised mansion, and to also
    help in the work of judgment of the wicked.
    Satan is for that length of time in this bottomless
    pit (ruined earth) for the thousand years in punishment,
    and to comtemplate his fate.
    However, afterwards, God will come with His saints (angels)
    to earth for the judgment. For the wicked will never see
    heaven. But, when all the wicked are raised, it
    will be Satan who is loosed from his prison of isolation,
    who will attempt to control these billions of people into
    a vast army, ready to attack the camp.
    At that moment, God will send fire upon them and devour all.
    When someone or something is devoured, it means gone forever.
    I do not believe, nor does the Bible say that anyone is to
    suffer, and suffer, and suffer for ever.
    This surely means they can never again be raised to life,
    never, never, never. Though I think we will remember that
    lesson and not wish to ever repeat it.
    Then we go on to Rev 21 and the new heaven and new earth
    to be inherited after our earth is passed away.
    Some say another earth, some say our own earth made new.
    Then the city of God, New Jerusalem will come down and Jesus
    our God and Saviour will dwell with us for ever. Amen

    I cannot imagine wanting to imagine anyone suffering forever
    while I enjoy a wondrous eternity with God. No, God does
    not mean eternal torment. Spiritually, this only means
    eternal loss. Loss of all that we will find. Happiness,
    joy, peace, life, love …

    I love the Lord. The watcher man tried to say I only talk
    about the Law. I must say that without obedience to the
    Law, we cannot claim to be Christians. Sin is the breaking
    of the Law.
    Sunday worship is breaking the Law, for God gave us the
    seventh day as His sabbath of rest. This does not mean we
    have to become seventh-day adventists! We just have to
    obey God’s Word.
    Many do not keep the sabbath, claiming it is just a Jewish
    day. However, we become Israel and Abraham’s seed when we
    come to Christ. One is Christ, both Jew and Gentile.
    God gave us this hope when we became the ‘whosoever’ of
    John 3: 16, and shows that God loved no only Jews, but
    thankfully, Gentiles too. We are one in Christ, a chosen
    people.

27. PS I forgot to ask …

28. To Jacqueline:
    It doesn’t matter to me if you’re not “affiliated” with any church, your beliefs you post ARE Seventh Day Adventist doctrine, word for word. You know this is true, yet you deny it by saying you’re not “affiliated”. So tell us; where DID you get all this (so called) scriptural enlightenment?
    Are you Jacqueline, willing to risk other people’s ETERNAL LIVES with their blood on your hands, by telling them that there is absolutely no literal Mark of the Beast? Are you positive? Because that’s what you’re doing. With all the SDA doctrine you post here and on your website, you’re like the blind leading the blind as Jesus refereed to the Pharisees.
    You’re a modern day PHARISEE who claims to love God, yet your LEAVEN mixes the gospel of grace with old testament laws that MUST be followed to the letter–according to you–or a person will never enter Heaven regardless if that person is truly saved. Apostle Paul condemned this kind of thinking! Our salvation is NOT contingent on works PLUS Grace! You believe the same as the Roman Catholic Church you condemn, are you aware of that?

    You believe just as the Pharisee’s of Jesus’s day, that your justification, your sanctification, your perseverance, and your entitlement to heaven, are conditional on YOUR WORKS, such as Saturday Sabbath keeping. God makes it clear in scripture that we are redeemed and saved from Hell by the incorruptable Blood and Righteousness of Jesus Christ ALONE and our salvation has nothing to do with our own self-righteous efforts which in scripture was compared to filthy rags.
    I REPEAT:
    After becoming a child of God, good works should follow from the heart of every believer of Jesus Christ, but Saturday Sabbath keeping, etc. is NOT a requirement for salvation or keeping your salvation, as then it is no longer the Grace of God through His Son Jesus Christ. This is totally unscriptural and evil Pharisitical SDA doctrine.
    Every Christian should not accept or participate in any kind of nationally enforced day of worship (IF that ever happens) and definitely SHOULD NOT accept any enforced marks, tattoos, chips, etc. on their hands or heads, or elsewhere. To say that you know with all certainty that there is no literal mark has no scriptural evidence and goes against the context of those scriptures.

29. Can you see the funny side to Satan’s interference.
    Here I stated:
    “Only realised when I asked the minister why we do

    Even here Satan plays his game.
    What I was trying to say was:
    “Only realised when I asked the minister why we

    It is indeed strange and annoying to be taken
    wrongly and misunderstood. Perhaps the Watcher,
    if he can control his temper, be forgiven?
    Satan is always with us and does bring out the

I said your works-based beliefs were the same as Roman Catholic’s. Please reread what I wrote to verify.

    I use CAPs here to emphasize important words. This isn’t yelling or anger. You’re the only person that’s shown anger (toward me) in these comments.

    You’ve called me a liar in 2 comments(deleted by the webmaster) and also said that I belong in Hell. Now suddenly you’ve decided to play nice by addressing me as “Dear Sir” and “Watcher Man”? I hate to break it to you….. but I’m a woman. I have no idea why you have assumed I was a man. Surely the same problem you have with judgment has led you to gullibly support all the unscriptural doctrines and ideas of the Seventh Day Adventists and the work of Seventh Day Adventist FALSE PROPHETESS Ellen G. White. To say her books and writings are “divine” is truly an insult to the Bible, God’s holy writ Word. Ellen G. White has changed the entire meanings of scriptures from Genesis to Revelations. I would hate to be in her shoes on Judgment Day.

32. Hello darling,
    You are not a liar, and neither have I called you one.
    You are sadly just brainwashed.
    It is not my role to judge you. I read what I believe
    to be nonsense and I do get disappointed.
    I have no wish to talk to you again, for you are most
    aggressive.
    As for the seventh day adventists:
    I do believe they have much to believe in and I am
    in gratitude for their witness. I can say nothing
    wrong about them, and only grateful for their loving
    witness, time, energy, and patience. For I received
    from them free books which I find enlightening.
    Whereas, here I don’t feel enlightened, but rather,
    am incredulous in the wrintings and false beliefs.
    Not to insult anyone. I feel sad for yous.
    I do receive the magazine, and why I do not know.
    It comes from Brisbane, and I live in Melbourne.
    Someone must have given them my address.
    It is our duty to give our witness, and when we
    discover untruths being spread and received by others,
    it is God’s call to give an honest account, so that
    a fuller picture is presented.
    I would advise everyone who reads these sites to
    lay this stuff before God and ask for guidance.
    Some things may be right (I have not bothered to
    read any of it) and lots will be wrong.
    Happy days to all. I think I have done my best.
    Bye, Jacqueline

    I have never said Mrs Watcher belongs in hell.
    Neither was it deleted.
    I don’t believe in hell, nor use such language.
    I have mentioned the lake of fire, where is a
    descriptive spiritual based biblical account of
    what is an end of wickedness.
    Not a literal hell.
    No, I do not believe in hell and would not use
    such wording.
    I have not called Mrs Watcher wicked or any such
    thing, though I do think she is deluded; angry
    at anyone else’s opinion/witness.
    I am all for love, and God is Love.
    His command is that we love one another.
    Do not tempt me to write further as I am at an
    end here.
    As for Ellen White, I believe she was God’s woman.
    She spoke by the holy spirit’s power within.
    To cast evil upon her witness is really casting
    evil account upon the Holy Spirit.
    I would never dare to grieve the Holy Spirit and
    lose my place in God’s kingdom.
    Goodbye again.

34. To EG Samuel:

    It appears that Micah 4, verses 1 through 4, are speaking of future Millennial events. Yet Verse 5, is implying the contrast that all people (today, right now, not during the Millennium) walk each in the name of their own gods, (small g gods, false deities) 4 “But (during the Millennium) WE WILL walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever”.

    According to scripture all the earth will worship Jesus only during that time, as He rules with a rod of iron and rebukes nations afar, so there won’t be other religions or gods being worshipped for 1,000 years. We do see in scripture however, that during the millennium (which is a very long period of time when you think about it) people become quite nonchalant about keeping/obeying certain rules established by Jesus’ Kingdom reign, or else He would not have to warn them about the consequences of their actions, such as receiving no rain for their nation if they fail to come worship Him.

    So, over time we see rebellious attitudes begin to grow as sin is still in the very nature of man throughout the Millennium. When Satan is loosed from the bottomless pit/abyss for a “little while” REV 20:3 (we don’t know for how long, but possibly 3 1/2 to 7 yrs, just like the time frame prior to Armageddon), Satan will again be given a short length of time to deceive those whose love and respect for Jesus has waxed cold.

    During this short period of Satan’s final act of rebellion, there will have to be great apostasy and yet again as in the past, I would assume society birthing false religions and idols, for great multitudes of people will now reject the Lord and make war against Him and His saints.

    I see a pattern here, that God is thoroughly weeding out the wicked “tares” from 3 different eras of mankind’s history. First the Great Flood of Noah’s day, then the Great Tribulation’s War of Armageddon, and lastly the War of Gog and Magog after the Millennium. Revelations doesn’t get into specifics about this final battle, but EZEKIEL 37:15 through 38:29 talks about it in great detail! This last battle has similarities to the War of Armageddon. God creates another greatly devastating worldwide earthquake, sends pestilence, causes them to attack one another with the sword, and rains down flooding rains, huge hailstones, fire, and brimstone to destroy this evil army (EZEK 38:18-22). It takes the house of Israel 7 months to bury the dead of Gog and his multitudes, and God instructs His people to make fires from the weapons for 7 years (EZEK 39:9-16). Jesus assigns Satan and his demonic legions to the Lake of Fire where the Beast and False Prophet have been for the past 1,000 years. Evil people and those who rejected Christ throughout the generations will join them in the Lake of Fire after the Great White Throne Judgment. The faithful remnant of all eras will enjoy glorious everlasting life with Jesus on the new earth in the New Jerusalem, with the former things erased from our memories. What a blessed hope to look forward to!

37. When Jesus returns at the second coming, He destroys the nations that have come against Jerusalem. The angels take the wicked away to be cast into hell (Matt. 13:49) – those who have taken the mark of the beast. We come back with Jesus to rule and reign on the earth. There are those on the earth who have not taken the mark of the beast. These are the ones the Saints will rule over. Notice in Revelation 2:26-27 we will rule with a rod of iron. Why would we need a rod of iron if everyone we ruled over were Saints also? The answer is in Zechariah 14, a very good chapter for understanding eschatology.

    Notice in Zechariah 14:16, there will be those who are left from all the nations that came against Jerusalem. It is these people we will rule and reign over. They havent taken the mark of the beast, but are not righteous. Notice that during the Millennium, when Jesus rules from Jerusalem, there will still be those who refuse to worship Him. Zechariah 14:17-19 says, “And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Those who dont go up to worship Jesus will be ruled with a rod of iron. In other words, it wont be fun for them. There will be no plea bargaining nor trial. Everything will be known, so the punishment will be swift and sure.

    These people will have babies all during the Millennium. Just think how many people would be on the earth if there was no sickness or disease and everyone lived hundreds of years. It is these people born during the Millennium that satan will draw to him when he is released from the bottomless pit.

    The Bible is clear if we believe it as it is written. God bless.

38. I have a question. If you wouldn’t mind, reply on here, I’ve been having difficulty accessing my email account. I have some clues and possible insight that could possibly have broken a seal, but nonetheless I am young in my journey and a simple loving mother at heart… If God has already chosen a child to be the 2nd coming son of God (keep in mind this child would still also be a son of man) born into a chosen family who do not identify with one particular race, but are in essence ”a beautiful new race of man;” now for my inquisition, if the parents both have devine feelings that their son is the future King, what would be their next step towards fulfilling his prophecy? I apologise in advance if this is a farfetched question to even present for thought by such knowledgeable, true people of our God’s word, but if you may give your own answer or opinion, I fully welcome your own personal answers if there are no know ancient printed satisfactory answers. Thank-you for your precious time, Godbless.

39. @Brandy – Dont worry. You didnt break any seal that is of any spiritual importance. There is only one person worthy to break the real seal mentioned in the Bible, and that person is Jesus Christ. Revelation 5:5 says, “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” This person is Jesus Christ, Who died for us. Revelation 5:9 says, “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood…” Only Jesus can open the real seal. I wouldnt worry about any other seals.

    The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the one Who will be coming back at the Second Coming. Read Revelation 19:11-16.

    I suggest you focus on the fact that ONLY the word of God, the Bible, is TRUTH. Nothing else is. Read your Bible, and put away all books, words and ideas from ANY other man, be he prophet, priest or king!

    If there are parents that feel their son is the future king, they are wrong, and are deluded (I speak the truth – not trying to use bad words). Jesus Christ is the ONLY present and future King!! He is God, and as such, is jealous (Exodus 34:13, 20:5) and will have no other kings or gods to be throned or exalted. (see Isaiah 43:11, John 4:42, etc).

40. can any one show me a scripture that teaches Satan and his angels was cast out of heaven prior to the creation of adam?.and this war that took place before adam was created?

    Reply

41. @Tommy – There are no Scriptures that teaches satan was cast out of Heaven prior to the creation of Adam.

    Revelation 12:3-4 says, “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And hit tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…” This red dragon is satan (see verse 9). But it doesnt say when it happened.

    Among the verses in Ezekiel 28 that speak of Lucifer (12-19), verse 13 says, “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God…” So Lucifer was in the Garden of Eden. This was before he sinned (verse 15), so it would have to be before he tempted Eve.

    Job 38:7 says, speaking of the creation of the earth (vs 4), “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.” You could imply that “all the sons of God” means ALL, and therefore including satan and his angels. Which, if so, means that when God created the earth, satan, as Lucifer, was still in Heaven before his fall.

    There is the false theory (the Gap Theory) that says earth was originally inhabited by Lucifer and some angels (including dinosaurs and other animals too), and then Lucifer rebelled and God destroyed the earth and then re-created the earth in 6 days. But that theory is based on a BELIEF and not Scripture. In fact, that theory goes against Scripture (see Romans 5:12 – which the Gap Theorists attribute the “one man” to be Lucifer, not Adam).

    There are no verses that show anything specific about the time frame that satan and his angels were cast out of Heaven. God bless.

    Reply

    1. You said NO scripture said anything about Satan being cast out. Did you forget Revelation 12: 7-9?
       7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

42. @jacqueline – Sorry, but the Millennial reign on earth IS Biblical. You are trusting your feelings instead of the plain truth of the Bible. Here are some verses that show the Lord will reign on the earth.

    “The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord, and seek the Lord of hosts. I myself will go also. Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts; In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:21-23
    “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.” Zechariah 2:10-12
    “Thus says the Lord: I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain.” Zechariah 8:3

    “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” Zechariah 14:9
    “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.” Zechariah 14:16-17

    “And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” “the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.” Micah 4:2,7
    “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2

    “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah 23:5-6

    “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, ever forever.” Isaiah 9:6-7
    “Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23

    We will also reign with Him on the earth. Notice where these verses say that we will reign:
    “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.” Psalm 37:29
    “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.” Revelation 2:26-27
    “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:9-10
    “Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth.” Proverbs 11:31

    When Jesus returns at the second coming, He destroys the nations that have come against Jerusalem. The angels take the wicked away to be cast into hell (Matt. 13:49) – those who have taken the mark of the beast. We come back with Jesus to rule and reign on the earth.

       You are correct about Jacqueline. I had banned her from the site, yet she keeps trying to come back in. The reason we banned her was because she called Hilton Sutton a “nut job.” Hilton Sutton is a very good teacher on end times and I wrote her back stating that just because someone does not agree with her views, does not make them a nut job. I told her we would not put up with those kinds of offensive statements. I also noticed she got nasty with you and a few others as well. She can now spread her venom somewhere else, but it will not be on this site.

44. As Jesus does not touch earth as described by Paul – the saints meet Him in the air – could not all the Scripture used to support second coming be actually a third advent after which wicked including Satan agree God is fair?
    1000 years in the heavenly home Jesus is now preparing for His friends then a triumphant return to finally end sin – from the new Jerusalem – as depicted in Psalms Isaiah and elsewhere

    Reply

45. @Fleur – I’ll take these one at a time.

    *The wicked and satan do not say that God is fair. The Bible verse I think you might be referring to is Philippians 2:11, “And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” There is no verse that says the wicked or satan will say that God is fair. They will only confess that Jesus is Lord, before they are thrown in the lake of fire.

    *The 1,000 year home is on earth. Please see my post above.

    *At the Second Coming, Jesus touches down on earth and for 1,000 years, earth will be like the garden of Eden.

    For Scriptures on the 1,000 year reign of Christ on the earth, and we (the Saints) reigning with Him, see: Job 19:25-26; Psalms 37:9-11, chapter 67, chapter 72; Isaiah chapter 11, chapter 35, 65:17-25, 66:18-24; Jeremiah 31:31-37; Ezekiel 11:17-20, 34:20-31, 37:21-28, 43:1-9, chapters 44-48; Daniel 7:13,14,18,22,27; Hosea 2:16-18; Joel 3:16-21; Amos 9:11-15; Micah 4:1-7; Zechariah chapter 8, 14:9-11, 20-21, Revelation 2:26,27, etc., etc.

46. “and all of the bad and unsaved people are kept in Hades (Hell) for the next 1000 years.” You said this in your statement above. Can I ask what is the purpose of those that overcame to live on earth for the 1000 years with Jesus? Why Does God chain satan up? Why doesn’t he just throw him in the lake of fire?

    Reply

47. @Capecod Robbin – I’m not sure if you would call it our purpose, but the Saints will rule and reign with Christ on this earth for 1,000 years. I listed the verses regarding the rule and reign of the Saints in my post above (see post #39).

    As for why God locks satan in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years and doesnt just throw him in the lake of fire, you will have to ask Him why when we meet Him. The answer is not given in Scripture. There are many conjectures, but that is all they are.

48. @Jacqueline – you, as many post-tribs and post-millennialists, that Christians will be deceived by the anti-Christ. You are totally in error, as ANY Christian KNOWS Christ and His attributes and such. IF we are here when the anti-Christ appears, there is no way on earth or in Heaven that true Christians will be deceived.

    I’m glad you said “I think” because that is true – you think. But you give no Scripture that PLAINLY says what you believe.

    I want PLAIN Scripture (not what you interpret, but what it plainly says) that says:
    *satan will be earthbound
    *the earth will be a wasteland for 1,000 years
    *we will reign 1,000 years in Heaven

    I think you have a problem with your eyes. I gave you plenty of plain Scripture that shows the Saints will reign on the earth. You put your interpretation on those verses to make them mean whatever you want, which is against the Bible (see 1 Peter 1:20). Strange that you are blind to plain Scripture. No one is to interpret the Bible – we are to take it as it plainly says. If you interpret it, you are doing so to your detriment!!

    As for Jesus dying on Wednesday, what do you think 3 days before Sunday is?

    My name is Russ Columbo. I live in south Florida with my wife and my youngest son Rusty. My story begins Feb. 27, 2003 when Rusty at 17 years old suffered a brain hemorrhage.
    I found Rusty in his bedroom laying on the floor unconscious having seizures. The fact that we found him was nothing short of a miracle itself.
    At 2:00 am. I woke up out of a sound sleep with a deep feeling there was something wrong in the house. I checked all the doors and looked outside and everything seemed to be ok. I went back to bed and laid there for one hour and could not fall back to sleep. That is when I got up again and went to check Rusty and found him.
    When they took him to the hospital he underwent emergency surgery for a hemorrhaged AV Malformation.
    Despite only a 5% chance to live 24 hours Rusty survived. As soon as the doctor gave us the news I started to see the sign of the cross everywhere I looked. I knew then and there the only hope was to turn to God. I spent a lot of time in the chapel praying to God. I asked God to spare his life and I would use his life to give all the glory to Him.
    Rusty was in a coma for nearly 3 weeks and received 3 operations to shrink the AVM. The injury to Rusty’s brain left him totally paralyzed on the right side of his body and without speech ability. Long story short by the grace of God he beat the odds and was released to a rehab facility on April 9th.
    This is a great God story and the fact that the doctors at the rehab hospital told us that Rusty would be a vegetable for the rest of his shortened life he has recovered the ability to walk again with the use of a walker and is slowly regaining some limited speech.
    The next several years were very difficult adapting to a new life of taking care of Rusty. I suffered 2 emotional breakdowns in 2004 and 2005. In 2005 I came to Christ and my life began to change. I began to feel as if there was hope again and I found some peace through all of this ordeal. It was about this time that I began to notice certain numbers.
    It began by seeing the number 7 a lot. I would look at the clock while driving and it would be 1:07. The next time I would look it would be 1:17. I could not shake the feeling that it meant something. This went on for quite sometime. Then I began to see the number 11 a lot or combinations of numbers that added up to 11. I had a very strong feeling that these numbers were a date that God was bring to my attention. I would years later discover that through synchronicity and numerology God was sending me a message and has reveled to me the date of the Coming of Christ. The date God has revealed is 11/7/18. With great humility I boldly proclaim to be one of the two witnesses from Rev. chapter 11 verse 3&4. I have had dreams and visions of current events and post rapture events.
    I know how this sounds but please know that I love the Lord with all my heart and soul and I would never do or say anything to disrespect our Heavenly Father. I have written an outline of the events that occurred in 2003 to present day to tell the rest of this incredible story which has 6 occurrences of divine intervention dating back to 11/10/07 when I witnessed the image of Jesus on my windshield. I am positive that God has given me a gift of prophecy and has made it very clear he wants me to deliver this message. I have also made three predictions from visions and dreams I had in the past 6 months that have been fulfilled.
    In the past several months I have experienced the Holy Spirit come upon me after prayer in the evening. It is a very overwhelming experience.
    Please take me very serious and know that I will do what ever is necessary to authenticate my story. I am sure you may have many questions for me and I would love to give you more details of each one of these events. It has taken a great deal of courage to tell this story however God has commanded me to step out in faith and do not be afraid or dismayed. The bible tells us the truth will set you free, I sure hope that is true with my story. My goal is to make my story public, write a book and form a ministry.
    Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you real soon. My phone # is (754)368-5526. Glory be to God! God bless you and your organization.
    Sincerely,
    Russ Columbo

    1. I think you may be under the influence of an unfamiliar spirit trying to communicate with you and sending you delusions. After the Phophets and John there have been no more and you sir I say with confidence you are not 1 of the 2 Witnesses. You need much prayer!

    2. I just wanted to add in that I do not believe that God gives us signs of his return through numerology, as the BIBLE says that He gives us those specific signs in the skies- the Moon, Stars, and sun

51. Russ,

    God’s word ONLY is truth. Nothing else! Not visions. Not dreams. Not numbers. Don’t you know the devil uses signs and wonders? Revelation 13:13, speaking of the false prophet, “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.”

    If you think you’re one of the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11, tell me, when is the drought going to start, because the two witnesses cause there to be no rain for 3 1/2 years (verse 6)? And when are you going to breath fire out of your mouth (verse 5)? Let me know, cause I’d like to be there. And also, tell me what kind of plagues you are going to bring on the earth (verse 6)?

    I suggest you stop looking at numbers and start reading your Bible and believe your Bible ONLY!! Especially read 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, where it says satan can transform himself into an angel of light, and his angels can transform themselves into ministers of righteousness. So how are you going to know if it’s satan or God, or one of his ministers, or one of God’s ministers? Only by staying in God’s word!! Get away from these numbers, visions and dreams you are seeing. Dreams can deceive you. So can visions. Satan can send visions and dreams. Don’t trust anything that is not from the Bible!!

    Oh, and since the two witnesses are here when the anti-Christ rules, tell me who he is, because he is going to kill you (Rev. 11:7).

52. Sorry Mr Columbo…Matt.24:36 Jesus says” no one knows the day or the hour, Not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

    Read Matt. 24:42….So, You do not know the day that Your Lord is coming..

    You have been distracted and deceived.

53. Nancy,
    you are mistaken, He will only come “as a thief in the night” to those that are in darkness.

    read Thessalonians, especially 5:4:
    “But ye, brethren, are NOT in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

    what was Yahushua saying with “no man knows the day or hour”?
    everyone at that time would have understood quite well because it was a part of how they lived.

54. Jesus does not set foot on planet earth at His first return – Paul writes very clearly that we will meet Him in the air, being caught up with those who are right now sleeping in faith

    Satan is tied to this world, but he will not have any human company, as people are either dead or have been raised to life, to be with God in Heaven 1,000 years

    At the THIRD advent, the Final Judgment occurs. This eradicates the effects of sin. Although we will still have free will, our choice shall ever be to obey and love God

    Jesus said to be careful lest the very elect be deceived

    Will you be one of the people who declare “go here, or there” to see Jesus? We all need to study Scripture and discuss – prayfully, with God’s Holy Spirit to guide us, we shall all receive truth when we study in an open way, not pulling verses to support any particular viewpoint

55. Fleur, you are deceived because you wish to believe that you will “fly away” and not have to endure the most difficult time the world will ever know.

    that is not and never has been His plan of protection. rather, his power is shown by protecting those who are His DURING the trials and tribulations.

    NO WHERE does Scripture show 3 advents. you have been taught LIES. the image you have of the rapture was INVENTED be a woman only 200 years ago. i know it’s not easy, but wake up!

56. Hello Dan
    Persecutions and trials are part of life right now, worse in some places than others
    Revelation says the devil that dragon years will be on a desolated earth for 1000 years
    Thessalonians promises believers meet Jesus in the air – this is where Paul says people who are alive willbe caught up together with those believers who have died in faith
    The final persecution is Satan’s last ditch stand prior to every human not with Jesus along with the devil and fallen angels being finished forever in the fire God prepares
    No, I do not advocate a “flying away” to escape trials – it will be great however to see an end to all that has resulted from sin
    When the Scripture says God’s Adversary will be 1000 years without human company, that is truth I believe
    Or, are you a Christian who decides what God meant – putting God’s Word to effectively support one set of ideas, but ignore that which is inconvenient?
    According to Jude, Enoch saw the triumphant 3rd Advent of Jesus coming to earth with the saints
    Isaiah also talks about it
    As for dates, do you – or any other person – know the date of the last breath taken? Becausethe next thing you, I or anyone else who dies/”sleeps” is the return of Jesus, either in the first resurrextion to life or 1000 years later to rise only to be destroyed by the second death

57. @Fleur,

    I think you need to stay away from the kool-aid. The devil is not on the earth for 1,000 years. He is in the bottomless pit. Read Revelation 20:2-3,7.

    Reply

58. Hello Randall
    The most important aspect is Revelation chapter 20 verse 15
    Id your (& my) name in the Book of Life – to be part of the first resurrection?

    As for the bottomless pit, where else but on earth can it be given that God has banished the Adversary to this world

    By the way, my Saviour, the Jesus I know and love, would never make any kind of “smart” comment – I found your kool aid remark quite inappropriate from a Christian person

    I don’t object to healthy Bible discussion on any topic

    Please highlight the really important – essentials – points. The rest can be left to God’s mysterious ways

    Jesus loves you – Cannot prevent God from loving you – pardon is freely given as all people fall short of divine standards

    It is hard for many people to accept God loves, blesses and willingly forgives – humanity is very inward looking to self; people need God’s live, mercy and grace

    Please encourage us all – believer and non-believer/seeker – to experience (more of) God’s ability as our Divine Parent and discover Jesus as our perfect Friend

    Reply

59. Sorry about the comment, but it is just beyond me how anyone can equate the bottomless pit with the earth. Do a word search in Strong’s Concordance for the word “pit” and see where it says the pit is. Then realize the bottomless one is even more so.

    I suggest you take the Bible as it says and not try to read anything into it. The bottomless pit is a pit. The earth is the earth. They do not match in any way, shape or form.

    God bless.

60. Fleur it is obvious you are expousing the beliefs of SDA- Seventh Day Adventists and the askewed antibiblical testimonies of their “Prophet” Ellen White.

    In listening to former SDA followers who have come to the TRUE knowledge of scripture, these former Seventh Day Adventists reveal that they are taught not to question Ellen White’s “bible revelations” and they are directed to put her word ABOVE JESUS’S CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BIBLE. You cannot deny this and if you do you are deceived!

    This is blasphemy and in RANDALL’S defense this is what he meant by “Drinking the kool aid”……there should be no offense to real Christians about that.

    I have been watching Randall’s comments and he has never given anything but sound solid BIBLICAL remarks based on the WORD OF GOD not Ellen White or any other false prophet.

    He is correct the Bottomless Pit is a separate creation not affiliated with the Earth. Since when is the Earth bottomless anyway? We can clearly see from space the Earth has form and a shape.

61. Thank you for the opportunity to explore my beliefs

    While God sees only 2 groups of people – those who are for and those against Him – we humans divide ourselves into many thousands of Christian denominations/groups

    Jesus said to love one another, for in this way everyone will know you are My disciples. Paul wrote that nothing is worth anything without love

    As John wrote the “new command” to love was not really new as God is love

    Kind regards to all

62. The common teaching is of a Latin ‘Millennium’, however concerning this original Greek word found in earliest manuscripts is ‘Chilioi’, and of significance found singularly only eight (8) times in the entire New Testament.

    Of significance, ‘Chilioi’ found singularly w/o quantifier is found six (6) times in Rev-20:1-7, and remaining two (2) times in 2 Peter 3:8.

    Chilioi w/o a quantifier (being adjective and plural-article) then reads as ‘Thousands’, and as an undefined quantity means ‘more than one’ Thousand, would translate into English as ‘Thousands (of) Years’.

    Revelation 20:1-7 tells not one ‘Thousands of Years’, but two seperate Thousands of Years. The fist Thousands event is Satan cast and sealed in the abyss, the second Thousand event is Christ raising in resurrection saint that reign with him for ‘Thousands of Years’. These two events beginning in differnt time periods, lasting different time durations, ending when Satan released from the abyss, are both within this earth age, but continue in Rev-20:5-15 ending this earth age in final judgment.

    Note also most read verse-5 bypassing ‘saints that judge’ (don’t you know that you will judge the world), and see only the martyred, believing only the martyred are resurrected, yet read properly both groups are resurrected, being OT ‘upright and righteous’ that were promised would be resurrected. The NT assures the saints are also (part) of this resurrection and not to see the second death.

63. Satan the Devil is not only in the grave/Sheol, and pit/abyss, as decribed the fall of Satan by prophet Isaiah (Isa 14:12), also assured by Paul now being restrained or held back (2 Thess 2:6), Christ attests having seen Satan fall like lightening (Luke 10:18)

    Satan however with his dark or fallen angels (are) spiritually active on earth, Satans spiritual ‘kingdom of the air’ (Eph 2:2) gives significance to being on/in earth bound until released (Rev 20:7 yet to come).

    Reply

64. The Greek “Chilioi” is agreed found in earliest Rev-20 manuscripts, and is not a quantitative figure, it is simply the term “Thousands” derived from the Greek Math Theorem (Base-10, 10×3 power). No where in Rev-20 is stated “one thousand”, the quantitative for both of these ‘Thousands Years’ events (2) described in Rev-20, are found in other bible passages concerning both events… and both far exceed ‘one thousands years’.

    Reply

65. Reading Rev 20:1-15 will find that the Lake of Sulfur or Burning Lake of Sulfur is a holding place, in which the Beast and False Prophet are cast alive, and await Satan, who also be vast… along with all wicked.
    Satan is not cast into the pit as you describe (after) the Beast and False Prophet are cast into the Lake of Sulfur, Isaiah 65 clearly describes Satan cast from heaven (once only by the way), and at this time into the grave (Sheol) and the pit (abyss). Christ in His ministry advises He saw Satan fall from heaven, Paul in 2 Thess assures the people he (Satan) is being restrained (now), until the time he is to be revealed (70th Week Prophecy (events) mentioned by Christ as described by the prophet Daniel.
    The Lake of Fire (God is the consuming fire) is the last place of final judgment, where before all wicked experienced Gods wrath and judgment, it is this Lake of Sulfur or Burning Lake of Sulfur, as composite called Death and Hades, being as composite cast into the Lake of Fire, said as punishment eternal.
    The greatest error is calling Chilioi a ‘ONE thousand years’, Chilioi is derived from a very sophisticated Greek math theorem, from Base-10, in which 10x3rd power is the multiple (unit) of (plural) Thousands, not one thousand. Scripture validates, for Chilioi (thousands) to have a quantitative sum, the Greek will be found with additional numeric to designate the sum within Chilioi thousands.
    Paul evidently chose Chilioi, used singularly without additional numeric, to indicate both Satan in abyss, and saints reigning with Christ, at that time unknown and not yet completed, as is still the case today.
    This unusual case of Chilioi used singularly, is found only in 2 Peter 3:8, and Rev 20:1-6, or only eight times within the entire New Testament… found 2-times in 2 Peter 3:8, and remaining 6-times in Rev 20:1-6.
    There is no ‘one’ or ‘a’ found in the earliest manuscripts of Rev 20:1-6, and ‘the’ as prefix is in no way ia number… nor does Chilioi in 2 Peter 3:8 designate an exact ‘ONE thousand years’.

66. The ‘deepest/bottomless pit (or) abyss’ is not hard to understand related to earth, described in scripture as that which you can see, and that which you cannot see. Meaning the natural of this earth, and the spiritual also about this earth, or as Christ advised, you will not say here it is, or there it is, because within is where you find the Holy Spirit resides, the Spiritual resides until peace one day leaves for a short time.

67. The ‘Great Tribulation’ period (1260 days) is apparent the first half of the seven years when Satan rules earth. Those yet living on earth as saints remaining faithful into the 1335 days (into second half) are gathered into heaven, described by angel to John, as souls that come out of the ‘Great Tribulations’.

    Reply

68. The Latin ‘Millennium’ cannot follow Tribulations, as this Tribulations (Great Tribulations) is described in Daniel and Revelation as the 70th Week prophecy when Satan is released from the abyss to rule over earth for a short time. Satan’s rule ends in being defeated and cast into the Lake of Burning Sulfur, a holding place where the Beast and False Prophet were cast earlier to await Satan. The composited of all wicked then called ‘Death & Hades’ are at last cast into the ‘Lake of Fire’… Lake of Sulfur and Lake of Fire have important difference.

    The Great Tribulations described as the 1260-days (1st half of 7-year rule), and those remaining faithful into the 1335-days, remaining faithful are brought up into heaven, The angel in Revelation said, “these are they (coming out of) the Great Tribulation.

    Read my linked-study on this Millennium, see if you believe as this (Millennium) is taught in Rev 20:1-7, that II Peter 3:8 then also describes an exact ‘one thousand’ years. Accredited scholar and theologian agree, Chilioi was found in earliest manuscripts of II Peter 3:8 and Rev 20:1-7, and not the Greek Chilias.

69. Regarding the confusion about the word ‘pit’. The English word Hell is a singular place used to describe Sheol or the grave in the OT, where both the redeemed and unredeemed went after death of the body.

    The only important teaching about this ‘pit’, regardless this place also called by many names throughout both the OT and NT of the bible, it is singularly symbolic of a spiritual location related yet to this earth. In this Sheol between the redeemed and unredeemed there is an uncrossable chasm, significant is the rich man in Sheol or grave looking (up) and seeing Abraham.

    The only important difference, which one do we expect to find ourselves.

70. There is something great that people can’t see.indeed Christ is coming to reign in the 1000 year messianic rule on earth but he as a flesh too is going to the grave,you may ask WHY??? Let’s discuss and you may know some of the mysteries of the bible.

    Reply

71. The 70th Week prophecy of Daniel evidences the release of Satan from the abyss, followed with his last days of wars until the end. Other verse mention saints conquered by Satan during this time, in verse next line indicating their names not written in book of life, evident as those neither hot or cold that God will spit from His mouth. But verse also mention faithful into 1260 or 1290 days (depending on calendar about 3 1/2 years), that remain faithful into 1335 days (just past the first 3 1/2 years), about whom an angel tells John, “these are they coming out of the Great Tribulation (capitalized to draw attention). The Great Tribulation then being the first half of Satan’s rule, Desolations being the entire 7-years rule of Satan.
    About Sheol/Hell/Hades/Etc., of this earth there is that seen, and that unseen. For instance Satan is (now) in the grave/Sheol and pit/abyss, yet is (spiritually) active on earth, called his ‘kingdom of the air… air indicating spiritual. So this earth and ‘heavens’ are not to be confused, yet exist. Important, the HS (or) Kingdom also is within at this time, but not anchored as part of this earth, because it is above, or Gods Kingdom.

72. There is no verse in the bible I am aware saying at the return of Christ (and) after Satan defeated, saying Satan is thrown into the Burning Lake of Fire for (0ne thousand or thousand) years. It is evident the Beast and False Prophet are thrown (alive) into the Lake of Sulfur before Satan, and awaited Satan, and Satan then with and all wicked end up in the Lake of Sulfur. Peace and the end of death thereafter are not limited to “one thousand years”, but as the bible tells us is for eternity. Also, since it is ‘Death and Hades’ that are at last cast into the ‘Lake of Sulfur’, it is evident the Devil known as death, and Hades as known where all unredeemed end up, are the composite called ‘Death and Hades’ being all of the wicked are destroyed by the Fire of God, and finally we are told (only) the ‘smoke of their suffering’ rises forever… and this called (eternal) punishment. As we know God does not oppress (forever) the wicked, these being remembered no more, vindictiveness appears only the nature of man.

74. I thought this article gave me more detail about the Millennium Kingdom because I wasn’t sure what the kingdom was and thought maybe that Satan would only tempt those who didn’t go to heaven during the rapture. But I read this slowly and carefully and it answered my questions.

    Reply

75. There is no ‘Millennium Kingdom’, nor ‘Millennium Temple’, nor ‘Golden Age’. Christ did not say His Kingdom was on this earth, but said of another place (about this He said you know where I am going). Christ’s Kingdom existed at that time, however He made clear His Kingdom was within (saints)… saints have the HS within as guarantee for those that remain in Him. Saints reign with Christ for an eternity, not a short one thousand years. From this it is obvious the Greek ‘Chilioi’ (plural Thousands) mentioned 6-times within Rev-20, refers to the present (this earth age). Both event-times end when Satan is released from the abyss to become ruler over the earth (70th Week prophecy). By the way, the saints described will be conquered at that time, the following verse makes clear their names were not written in the book of life (neither hot not cold?).

76. This earth lasts approximately 7,000 years. The last 1,000 years will be when Jesus reigns on the earth (see Zechariah chapter 14, Isaiah 9:7, Zechariah 6:12-13, Psalm 67:4 and hundreds of other verses). We Christians will reign with Him (Rev. 2:26-27, etc.). After the 1,000 reign of Christ, the devil is loosed out of the bottomless pit (Rev. 20:7) and he tries one last time to get as many people as he can to go to hell with him. God then destroys the wicked, the Great White Throne Judgment happens, and then God creates a new Heaven and a new Earth. Then eternity begins and there will be no more time.

    1. One thing that is so hard for people to wrap there minds around is that we are in the begining of the seventh thousand year already like when your birthday begins a new year. Who knows when the tribulation will begin with the last seven years but satan will have his day 3 and a half years ( loosed for a season in the bodily form of a resurected man who has one eye put out known as the antichrist )in that period of what we know as time when the 144,000 12000 of each tribe of israel will be in charge of the gospel (and that is just the first fruits) so get ready i bieleve GOD would go the the complete seven thousand years but man will rebel and refuse so the days will be shortened because of evil. Arent you glad GOD would contend with each and every one of us a thousand years of what this vapor of life represents that we might get to know him. Get to know him today ask Jesus into your heart and live forever!

       1. We need to be ready at all times, because we do not know why or when the ages will end in this world. But God promises us a new heaven, and new earth, which will be ruled by Him and Jesus forever. Those who have died, will resurrect and come back to life. Health will be restored to the diseased and the sick. The sinner will be forgiven and redeemed. Those who are not redeemed, will be cast into the lake of fire/hell. Those who have redemption will go to heaven, and live with Jesus and the angels: those who have died, and have been redeemed.

77. Re-
    Comments addressed to me:
    (Statement) This earth lasts approximately 7,000 years.
    (Response) The ‘Early Earth’ theory is foolishness, nor is there verse supporting it throughout the bible. Christ said we are in the ‘last hour’, if a week symbolically represents 7-years, the earth ended some time ago.

    (Statement) The last 1,000 years will be when Jesus reigns on the earth (see Zechariah chapter 14,
    (Responce) Zech-14 speaks of cataclysmic conditions ending in destruction of earth, describing conditions that could only be of spiritual nature at the end of this earth age, about the end Christ in returning said “I am making all things new.” No peace but wars to the end are prophesied for this old earth-age.
    (Statement Continues) Isaiah 9:7,
    (Response) Isa-9 speaks of peace that will never end, wars to the end of this earth clarifies God is speaking of the new creations told of in Isaiah-65 called the New Heavens, New Earth, and New Jerusalem, where is found the Sanctuary/Temple made by the hand of God
    (Statement Continues) Zechariah 6:12-13,
    (Response) Zech tells of the coming Christ, when the promised day of salvation begins with the OT upright and righteous, includes (NT) all that hear and believe are saved. This promise of peace is fulfilled in what the bible says is ‘the age to come’.
    (Statement Continues) Psalm 67:4
    (Reponse) Psalms 67 tells of the entire ‘Family of God’ rejoicing in Gods Paradise, said as the New Jerusalem comes down (or revealed) out of heaven, described as nations of people. And about these nations of people previously divided, Psalms 10:16 assures this division (nations) will ‘perish from His land, the leaves of the trees in paradise said to ‘heal’ these nation/divisions… and then called the ‘Home of Righteousness.”
    (Statement Continues) and hundreds of other verses)
    (Response) not calling this earth the one to come, where Christ assured us He went to ‘prepare a place for us, and when He returns will take use to be where He is.
    (Statement) We Christians will reign with Him (Rev. 2:26-27, etc.).
    Reigning with Christ is explained in Tim 2:11-12 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him.” About enduring to reign with Christ we are told in 1 Thess 5:10-11 “He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him”, awake spiritually is yet within flesh body, asleep meaning death of flesh body yet spiritually alive in Christ.
    (Statement) After the 1,000 reign of Christ, the devil is loosed out of the bottomless pit (Rev. 20:7)
    (Response) Now let’s read Rev 20:7-9 and see what it really says:
    Rev 20:7-9 “When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-Gog and Magog-to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.” This leaves no doubt (all) wicked will be destroyed, first they are thrown back into the ‘Lake of Sulfur’, and this in composite as ‘Death and Hades’ is destroyed in the Lake of Fire.
    (Statement) and he tries one last time to get as many people as he can to go to hell with him. God then destroys the wicked,
    (Response) Before Christ returns (not to bear sin again but for final judgment), Satan is released to be ruler over the earth (for a short time), this ENDS the (Greek ‘Chilioi’ THOUSANDS), that many in error call ‘one thousand’ years. No where in these (Greek) verses does it say “a” or “one” thousand, and the Greek ‘Chilioi’ that scholar and theologian agree is found in Rev 20:1-6, represents the number ’10x3rd power’ representing (plural) ‘Thousands’.
    (Statement Continues) the Great White Throne Judgment happens,
    (Response) Correction, Christ does (NOT RETURN) until (AFTER) Satan is released from the Abyss, and WHEN Christ returns, then (after) Satan cast back into the Lake of Sulfur/Hell), now Death and Hades are destroyed in Final Judgment (in Lake of Fire).
    )Statement concludes) and then God creates a new Heaven and a new Earth. Then eternity begins and there will be no more time.
    (Response_ Yes, AFTER Final Judgment, when (all) wicked “Death & Hades” are cast into the ‘Lake of Fire’ and destroyed, this begins “The Age To Come” with the new creations of the New Heaven, New Earth, and the New Jerusalem (OF HEAVEN… Gods Paradise).

78. I have some questions regarding the end times:

    Who exactly will the second death have power over? And who will JESUS along with his saints rule over?

    What exactly will happen at the millennium and where will we be at time? And who will satan come to decieve? Is it the saints who rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years. And if in those 1000 years, evil will not be there to tempt people,then who one will sin? In the millennium,there will be peace. So, then what is the requirement of judgement? And also since Jesus would be ruling in the millennium, the people who will be born at that time will not have to suffer and be tempted and live in evil society like nowadays. So their lives would be easier than ours, isn’t it?and they would be obviously going to heaven, isn’t it? Because they will be living on literally ‘heaven on earth’.
    Why will the unsaved souls be judged after the millennium,again?

    Is satan in charge of hell and ruling there and where is he now?

    Are the dead judged immediately and if yes ,then what about the judgement after1000 years? And if the dead are already in hell or Heaven, what about the Judgement day?

    Why is there a 1000 years gap before everything is set forever

    What is the meaning of John 3:1

    Will saints be in spirit form when they rule with Christ?

    What will be the difference between the heaven in millennium and heaven thereafter?

    1. It will be the people who have overcome the tribulation days and did not take the mark of the beast. They will be in their natural bodies still and will help re-popuate the world. Also it is believed that Israel (jews) will be in their natural bodies and reside during the millennium as well. It is said in the Bible that during the reign, there will still be those who do not turn to Christ, even though he will be ruling. Satan is released from the pit at the end of the 1000 year reign for a short season to tempt the inhabitants (the ones in their natural bodies) one last time. Then everybody who is lost faces the Great White Throne of Judgement of God (judgement of condemnation to hell). Those who are saved by the Blood of Christ hath no Judgement.

79. Except the forget to tell you that the word if God say’s that God is against both Israel and those who believe the word was made flesh.
    They too also forget to tell you that John reveals in the book of revelation that christ jesus and the beast mention in revelation’s 13, are indeed one in the same being.

80. Awesome revelation!! WhoooHooo! According to many of God’s prophets today, we are going to experience a piece of Heaven on Earth now. One said the Kingdom Age began on Resurrection Sunday, 2012 and will last for several years before things get worse. And for that to happen, we Believers must be learning to command the “Host of Heaven” the Army of God to push back the plans and all the powers of Satan and demons into dark and dry places where ever we go. So, Believers put your crowns on by the authority and blood of Jesus and command the Hosts to demolish the plans of the wicked!! WhooHoo!! is their battle cry. PS God must go by the Jewish calendar which is 5779. We only have over 200 years left until the Tribulation even though we don’t know the day or the hour. Then the 1000 years of peace as you described. Thank you for your insight of our future. God bless you. JoAnn

81. Good article, only there is no literal 7 year tribulation. We believers have always gone through tribulation. Ever since Adam and Eve took the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. See John16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
    2 Peter 2:9 “then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgement”

    cheers,
    Mathew

85. I’ve read your statements and I believe everything you said is accurate, There will be a rapture, there will be a tribulation, after the tribulation Jesus will return to earth with the saints and the tribulations saints, Jesus will rule for a thousand year, Jesus will bound satan in a bottomless pit, so he will no more deceived the nations until the thousand
    years are finish. Doing this time frame the world will be free of satanic presents, but that time frame is limited for a thousand years. But after these things he must be released for a little while, at the very end. The saints will lived and reign with Christ a thousand years on earth, Satan will be in the bottomless pit. I think you covered it very well. It’s not over after the rapture It just begun. We will live with Jesus on earth for a Thousand years. Jesus will judge the whole world people that’s still on the earth that did not receive him during the tribulation, The unbeliveing deads that denied him, The unrepentant, There will be a final judgment. The White Throne Judgements. I ask everyone to Search scripture. Jesus will physical live on earth. This is real. Not a fairy tell, Read Zachariah 14: 16 to 20.
    Pray that we all be ready.

86. Correct, with excellent suitable Bible references. Anyone who has been making a thorough study of end times scriptures can see the progression of all this. The naysayers are either not genuine praying Bible scholars, or just troublemakers (or who are influenced by demons).
