Don’t Stop
Monday, December 4th, 2023How Committed Are You?
Monday, December 4th, 2023Are you fully committed to be GOD’S habitation here on earth?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 6:
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Jesus was the Dwelling place of GOD while He was in His earthly ministry.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s Name, they bear witness of Me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27 My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them Eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My Hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s Hand.
30 I and My Father are One.”
You and I are called to also be One with FATHER not only in spirit, but also in our soul and body. I was never shown this in the teachings during my earl years as a believer. However, revelation is progressive over time. The more I immerse myself in The Word, the more revelation I receive.
When I was young, I was determined to do things “my way”. Now my focus is to only do things “HIS Way”! My priorities have changed and what used to be important is no longer of any consequence.
How can Jesus present FATHER with a bride who has spot or wrinkle?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is Head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Each of us must ask the question, “Am I subject to Christ in everything?”
25 Husbands, Love your wives, just as Christ also Loved the church and gave Himself for her,
26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word,
The Word is the only means of being fully cleansed and it is progressive in nature. It is like peeling back layers of an onion until we get to the innermost core where the root of our soul must be cleansed. As this happens, our body responds.
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be Holy and without blemish. 30 For we are members of His Body, of His Flesh and of His Bones.
It is my belief that we are in the “last days of the last days”. We need only to observe what is happening all around us. When will the harpazo occur? I don’t know but I am not willing to risk being disqualified in any manner. It is vital that each of us be led by The Holy Spirit and not be counted among the five unwise virgins who allowed their oil to be depleted!
Holy: Spirit, Soul, And Body
Sunday, December 3rd, 2023Mature believers will pursue complete Holiness, ultimately resulting in Divine Power!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 6:
12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
We should choose never to be enslaved to anyone or anything. Is there anything drawing you away from your stated priorities?
13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Our bodies were created to Love, serve, and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ Who can fill our bodies with Himself.
14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
FATHER can and will awaken those of us who are willing to give ourselves totally over to HIM.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”
A harlot is anyone or anything that draws your affection away from the priority of becoming Holy: spirit, soul, and body.
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
“Joining” means to make two into one.
18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Many believers do not focus on glorifying GOD in their souls and bodies. They think that once they are saved, there is no need to come into the fullness of glorifying GOD in their thoughts and bodies. Their priorities continue to be self-centered. They are more interested in expressing their affection for possessions, food, pets, etc. while the poor continue to suffer. They are willing to pay exorbitant prices for entertainment that lasts only a few hours. They receive a temporary emotional high while there is suffering all around.
FATHER made provision for us to be able to glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ in spirit, soul, AND body. HE wants to dwell in us in full unity with HIM. As we come into the revelation that this is truly possible, we will see HIS Divine power not only operate in us, but through us as well. We are called to be a full expression of Christ.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
By HIS grace, FATHER gave us the provision to become mature Sons and Daughters. By faith, we can achieve what was ordained by HIM. The unlearned and immature are ignorant of this right. You and I are responsible for what level of maturity we walk in.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Let us be complete in all areas of our life: spirit, soul, and body.
Walking In The Mind Of Christ
Saturday, December 2nd, 2023Mature believers have the secret of Divine Power!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:
6 However, we speak Wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the Wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden Wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
FATHER’S Divine plan was and is to expand HIS Kingdom on earth by imparting the hidden Wisdom that Jesus brought forth from the Throne Room to the earth. Through His death, resurrection, and ascension, He sent forth The Holy Spirit to dwell IN men and women.
9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who Love Him.“
What is the deciding factor of walking in the fullness of The Holy Spirit? It is given to those who Love HIM!
10 But God has revealed them (the deepest mysteries) to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the Deep Things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Only the deep mysteries of GOD will be known by the mature believer who demonstrates his Love for GOD. We will be known by our fruits and our fruits are being recorded in the Book of Life.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit Who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
FATHER desires to impart HIS Wisdom to those who earnestly seek HIM in all areas. A mature person is one who is fully developed and is in a spiritually balanced state. There are stages of maturity beyond the immature person who can only handle the milk of The Word.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual.
The Holy Spirit is the perfect Teacher, Comforter, and Counselor Who provides us with Wisdom from Above, straight from The Throne Room.
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The blindness of men is evident by their priorities. As I have said in the past, look at what men do with their time and money, and you will see their true priorities. The world is accommodating their blindness by increasing the facets of entertainment to be appealing to the soul and/or body.
15 But he who is Spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
16 For “who has known the Mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the Mind of Christ.
We have been given the Mind of Christ which is triumphant is all areas of life. It is vital that we embrace the Mind of Christ in these last days. The perversion of mankind appears to be reaching a crescendo which is to be expected prior to the harpazo. It is critical that you and I are led by The Holy Spirit and walk in the consciousness of the Mind of Christ in these tumultuous times!
End Of Days
Friday, December 1st, 2023Don’t be scared, be prepared!
Now that you have been blessed by studying the Book of Revelation and understanding the harpazo, it is time to prepare yourself for whatever comes next. Rick Renner provides a detailed look at the End of Days:
The Alpha And Omega
Thursday, November 30th, 2023The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End is fulfilled!
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 22:
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the Throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse, but the Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
4 They shall see His Face, and His Name shall be on their foreheads.
5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
6 Then he said to me, “These Words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the Holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.
7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this book.”
The word “quickly” means: in rapid succession, not shortly, immediately, or soon.
8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Worship God.”
10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, for the time is at hand.
This command differs from the Book of Daniel where the prophecy was to be sealed up for a period of time. The events prophesied in the Book of Daniel can now clearly be seen playing out in history. We are definitely in the last days of the last days.
11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is Holy, let him be Holy still.”
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
Jesus describes Himself:
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
There are seven aspect of glory of the redeemed:
1 There is no curse
2 Throne of GOD and The Lamb
3 His servants shall serve Him
4 Eternal Vision: His Face
5 His Name in their foreheads
6 Eternal day (no night)
7 Eternal reign
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of Life freely.
Where is The Bride? With Him!
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this Book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the Holy city, and from the things which are written in this Book.
This Book is precise and needs no additions or deletions! My goal is to provide understanding and applicable references elsewhere in Scripture. Let nothing be added or subtracted from this Sacred Text!
It says what It means, and means what it says!!!
20 He Who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 3:
14 Therefore, Beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our Beloved brother Paul, according to the Wisdom given to him, has written to you,
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
Be careful that you are not led away by untaught and unstable people! They will use their intellectual prowess to convince you of their soulish opinion. The Truth of Scripture is the only Truth we can rely on.
Treat GOD’S Word with respect and reverence!
17 You therefore, Beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
The New Heaven And Earth
Wednesday, November 29th, 2023The New Heaven and the new earth is now being described!
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 21:
1 Now I saw a new Heaven and a new earth, for the first Heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
This is what we pray in The Lord’s Prayer: Thy Kingdom come, The Will be done!
Peter wrote about this, by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 3:
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in Holy conduct and Godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
2 Then I, John, saw the Holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, “Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Why are there tears in Heaven? I suggest that we will look back at lost opportunities to represent Our Lord in both Word and action!
5 Then He who sat on the Throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these Words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of Life freely to him who thirsts.
7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
8 But the cowardly (G1169: fearful), unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The same term fearful is used when Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 8:
26 But Jesus said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
These gates point to the twelve tribes who surrounded the tabernacle in the wilderness. (Numbers chapter 2)
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The walls point to the ministry of the twelve apostles who divided the population from those who fully accepted Jesus Christ and were allowed in, versus those who didn’t. Christ is the Chief Cornerstone!
15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
These precious stones might refer to colored light, transparent yet different. 100% pure gold is transparent. 99.999% gold is not.
Pearls are not “kosher” because they grow in response to an external irritation. The pearls are similar to the church arising from the Gentiles as the Jews would have nothing to do with a non-kosher adornment.
22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.
24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).
26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The real issue at a personal level is to be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life!
The Throne Of David
Tuesday, November 28th, 2023The Throne of David prevails during the millennium on the earth!
The millennium is described with changes to creation. There are physical changes, curses are lifted, and creation is redeemed. Also, the earth will be full of the knowledge of THE LORD. However, there are certain limitations. It is not heaven or the new earth yet. That occurs in chapter 21. Righteousness is enforced and there is now no excuse for mankind.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 16:
5 In mercy the Throne will be established; And One will sit on it In Truth, in the Tabernacle of David, Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”
James spoke by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 15:
13 And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His Name.
15 And with this the Words of the prophets agree, just as it is written (Amos 9):
16 ‘After this I will return And will rebuild the Tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My Name, Says the LORD Who does all these things.’
18 “Known to God from eternity are all His Works.”
All men will be able to come and worship during the millennium.
And as Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the Holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the Throne of His glory.”
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 20:
7 Now when the thousand years have expired, satan will be released from his prison
8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the Beloved City. And fire came down from God out of Heaven and devoured them.
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 will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The devil now joins his two minions: the beast and the false prophet.
11 Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him Who sat on it, from Whose Face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
There are two Thrones: the Bema Seat of rewards for those who are saved, and the Great White Throne of judgment.
12 And I saw the dead (the unsaved), small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
You don’t want to be judged according to your works! I simply plead the Blood of Jesus over my life.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
14 Then Death and Hades (a temporary place) were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
If you are born again, Jesus already took care of your second death.
Paul explained this when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 5:
14 For the Love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him Who died for them and rose again.
16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
And in Romans chapter 6:
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Many have redefined grace to mean that GOD is so eager to save people from hell that HE will compromise HIS Holiness. Sadly, I have been around those who firmly believed this only to find out they were wrong as I continued to independently study Scripture. There is an aspect of judgment of FATHER we must not discount. Our choice will determine what Book we are in. I chose the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The Millenium
Monday, November 27th, 2023The word “millennium” means 1,000 years.
It is appropriate to review where Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 1:
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.
33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.”
Where is the throne of David? It is on the earth, not Heaven! It did not exist during the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry and is yet to exist today.
It is also written by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Samuel chapter 7:
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,
11 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.
12 “When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish His Kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My Name, and I will establish the Throne of His Kingdom forever.
How long is forever?
And in Isaiah chapter 9:
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.
7 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, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
There will be no end, it is eternal!
It is important to differentiate prophecy from prediction. Soulish man predicts based on his experience, research, and limited perspective. True prophecy comes from The Holy Spirit Who receives It from GOD THE FATHER. This is why it is vital to be led by The Holy Spirit in these last days.
Even to the point that FATHER makes an oath in Psalm chapter 89:
34 My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the Word that has gone out of My Lips.
35 Once I have sworn by My Holiness; I will not lie to David:
36 His Seed shall endure forever, And His Throne as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 20:
1 Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit (Gr: abousso appears 7 times in Revelation) and a great chain in his hand.
2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
Satan is not an equal counterpart to Jesus Christ. An unnamed angel is who bounded satan for a thousand years. Once the perfect Sacrifice occurred, the devil’s primary power was the ability to promote deception.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then 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.
We now see four classes of people: Old Testament Saints, The Church, Tribulation Martyrs, Tribulation Saints who did not worship the beast.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 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 (as kings) with Him a thousand years.
The redeemed are kings and priests. Physical death is the separation of the body and soul. Spiritual death is the separation of the soul from GOD!
The Overcoming King Is Victorious
Sunday, November 26th, 2023The King with His army of saints overcame all nations on the earth!
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 19:
11 Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He Who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
12 His Eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His Head were many crowns (kingdoms). He had a Name written that no one knew except Himself.
13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His Mouth goes a sharp sword (The Word of GOD), that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And He has on His robe and on His Thigh a Name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
We cannot imagine the fierceness and wrath of GOD! Jesus is not in the air, but coming to the earth and will be splattered with blood. He is not coming for the saints, but WITH the saints! He will no longer protect us in Heaven but will rule with us on earth.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the Great God,
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
The second supper is now being prepared.
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the Mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
I find it amazing that men would challenge THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY in battle. Truly it is the last great act of defiance!
This battle is prophesied by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 2:
1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He Who sits in the Heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King On My Holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.'”
This prophecy is being fulfilled exactly as THE SPIRIT recorded. FATHER is giving Our Lord Jesus Christ the earth for His inheritance, and He will rule on Mount Zion.
As a second witness, it is written by THE SPIRIT in Zechariah chapter 14:
1 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.
9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be- “The LORD is One,” And His Name One.
There should be no question who you and I are to serve!
