The Book of Revelation reveals God's plan for mankind and our universe. -God eliminates sin and evil from the cosmos; Jesus judges righteously. -God re-establishes a right relationship with mankind in heaven, on a New Earth and in the New Jerusalem. -God's divine program of redeeming mankind is brought by Him to completion. -The Holy Name of God is vindicated before all creation and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. -Our long term future environment will be free from tears, death, sorrow, crying, and pain. Rev.21:4. All events are certain. The sequence of events is up to the Lord. This presentation could not cover all events because of limited time. Please read the Book of Revelation and familiarize yourself with all events coming. Scripture references are from the New King James Version. This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The visions in the Book of Revelation were given by an angel to John the Apostle on the island of Patmos, a penal colony, in the Mediterranean. John reported all he saw faithfully but in the language and knowledge of his time. This is a key. Also he uses symbolism and allegories at times that have given us great difficulty in understanding. Images in the slides shown are given based on literal interpretation, except where Scripture tells us hidden meanings or gives circumstances leading us to the answer. Comment on Revelation Chapter 1: This is the vision and revelation of Jesus Christ. Here Jesus Christ is also revealed as God with the attributes of God. Rev. 1:7 and 8: Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Comment on Revelation Chapters 2 and 3: Here are letters to seven churches. They are representative of Churches of the past, the present and the future. Interestingly Christ describes the loss of 1st love of Him as sin. The same applies to luke-warmness. Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. In Revelation 3:16 Jesus says: So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Most Christians in the Western World believe its o.k. to have love for other things, rather than Jesus. Most Christians in the Western World feel it is their right to be luke warm and that God will not hold them accountable. Jesus says it is sin and for us to repent. Revelation Chapter 4 is an incredible vision of the Heavenly throne room where our Holy God sits on a throne with a Rainbow around the throne. The rainbow is representative of God's mercy for us. There are created beings different from us who say without stoppage and without rest day and night: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come". Revelation 4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Slide 1 above )Revelation Chapter 5: God is seen in the throne room holding a scroll in His right hand. The scroll has seven seals and writing on the front and on the back. No one was found worthy to open this scroll, or even to look upon it, and John the Apostle wept. Now a lamb is seen worthy to take the scroll. Revelation 5:6-7 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God ( see Isaiah 11:2 ) sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. The lamb is described in Rev. 5:12 as the Lamb that was slain. This lamb is Jesus Christ who was slain to pay for all sins of the world. Rev. 5:12: saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!” In John 1:29 it says: The next day John ( the Baptist ) saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (Slide 2)Revelation 5:5 describes the lamb also as the lion of Judah. Jesus came as the gentle and kind Savior to give his life and be killed for our sins like a lamb, and to give us eternal life when we ask Him for forgiveness and believe on Him by faith. Now Jesus is seen as a lion in judgment. Revelation 5:5 says: But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” The scroll is a scroll of Judgment. Jesus here is given the right to judge because he has earned the right to do so. He gave His life that we might live. If we reject such wonderful offer of life there are terrible consequences. Jesus now comes as a lion. A lion comes to tear and kill. John 5:22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, Jesus will act together with the Father and repay evil in this world. Rev.6:15-16 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! The judgments are God’s last effort to have people turn from their sins and asking Jesus to forgive and save them. During the judgments scripture says sadly four times: “They did not repent”. (Slide 3) "The Great Tribulation" of 7 years. Revelation Chapters 6 through to 19 and passages from Matthew, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians and Daniel are combined to give a picture for this time period. Top of this Slide: The 7 Year Tribulation: The seven years come from the 70 weeks of Daniel in Daniel 9:24. One of the verses, Daniel 9:27, refers to the Anti Christ. The text says: Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering and on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” - Eschatologists agree that each week means 7 years in this text. The 7 year period of the Great Tribulation is ushered in by a peace agreement by a coming world leader, called the Anti Christ. After 3.5 years he declares himself God in the temple of God and starts killing all who do not accept the mark 666. ( The number could also be the sum of 666. ) 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Revelation 11:1-2 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. ( 3.5 years ) Revelation 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. -After the initial 3.5 years Anti Christ starts a reign of terror and dictatorship requiring his mark to be on every living person in this world, or be killed. Left side of this slide: The Rapture: There are people who are streaming up into the sky to meet the Lord Jesus. The graves are opened. There is a stream of Christian souls rising from the graves to meet the Lord. Then the living Christians are likewise caught up into the air. These events are described in: 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51-54. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” In Matthew 24:36. Jesus says: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." Christians debate endlessly whether this rapture is before, during or at the end of the Great Tribulation. This debate is meaningless in the Middle East, or in North Korea or in Iran where Christians now suffer unimaginable torture and death. Instead we must get ready ourselves and draw near to God. Top of the slide: Believers who have been raptured ( taken up into heaven) are judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ: 1 Cor. 3:13-15 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 2 Cor. 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. " This refers to being judged for the good and the bad we have done even as Christians. Top of the slide at the right: Marriage Supper of Jesus and His Church: The Lamb of God is Jesus Christ is united with true born again believers. Rev. 19: 7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” In the center of the slide: 21 Judgments: In the circles in the center we see 21 judgments. There are angels, a seal, a guillotine and a red building. The seal represents the 7 seal judgments, the Angel with the trumpet represents 7 trumpet judgments, and the Angel with the bowl represents 7 bowl judgments. Rev. 9:15 Example of one of the Trumpet Judgments – the sixth: So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. ( How many people are killed here? In the USA there are 320 Million. One third of 7 Billion is about 2.33 Billion people killed. That is 2 Thousand 330 Million People or about 7 times the number of people in the USA. This is just one judgment.) Rev.16:17-21 Example of one of the Bowl Judgments – the seventh: Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent.( 75 lbs. ) Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.” ( Note in verse 20 that every island fled away and the mountains broke up. You can't find mountains in the world anymore. You can't find islands in the world anymore. There will be an incredible shaking of this world with tsunamis going back and forth covering the islands of the oceans. The mountains will break up with the shaking and are not found anymore. ) In the center right you see a guillotine. Christians are attacked, physically hurt and put to death. Men and Satan can only hurt our bodies but not our souls. Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Rev. 20:4 teaches us that “beheading” will be the main practice for killing Christians. Daniel 12:3 ( Witnessing brings stardom. At that time point it also may bring immediate physical death. ) Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. Towards the bottom middle and inside the red building we see two people. The two people represent Anti Christ ( a coming world leader ) and the False Prophet ( a world religious leader .) They will be led and possessed by Satan and speak satanic lies. We don't know who they are yet and whether they will be the first ones appointed. There are many signs of the Anti Christ spirit increasing exponentially now. In Revelation Chapter 13 the Apostle John used symbolism and metaphors and most Eschatologists agree that the two beasts mentioned are two people. Anti Christ is in Revelation 13:1-3: ( A person ) Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. ( There will be an attack on this leader’s life resulting in a deadly wound. When he comes back to life all of the world will follow him.) Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. ( Or the sum of 666.) Warning: Never, never have this mark put on your body, your hand or your forehead. Scripture says we are lost forever going to hell if we accept this mark. Rev. 14:9-10. The false Prophet is in Revelation 13:11-13 ( A person ). “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” This person comes like a gentle, kind, peaceful lamb. The person will use wonderful gentle words the whole word will love. He will say the things people want to hear. He has two horns meaning he has authority, overseeing two high offices. He will speak like a dragon. In Rev. 20:2 we are told the dragon is that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan. So this man will appear to be loving and kind, speaking gentle words and taking up the cause of the poor. However, he will speak words from Satan. This False Prophet will be a world religious Leader heading up a World Religious System that is described in the Bible as the great harlot or the great prostitute in Revelation Chapter 17. This world religious system under the headship of the false Prophet will kill true Christians everywhere. Revelation 17:6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. This World religious leader will be allowed to bring fire down from heaven. Revelation 13:13. The whole world will be deceived except those that are born again followers of Christ. For instance if the Pope brings down fire from heaven the whole world will believe him. He is gentle and kind. He says wonderful forgiving things. Is he saying words from Satan? 1.) A catholic blog agrees that Catholic Christians have the same God as Muslims do. This is a great lie from Satan. ( Note 1 ) 2.) Pope Francis recognizes that Muslims “worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon him in prayer.” ( Note 1 ) This is a lie. Muslims do not worship the only true God. They worship Allah. 3.) Pope Francis stated that all people who do good works, including atheists, are going to heaven. ( Note 2 )This is a blasphemous lie from Satan as it denies the necessity of Jesus as a mediator between God and men. By saying everyone will make it to heaven without Christ the Pope is sending all into hell. 4.) Pope Francis is working on a “One World Religion”. ( Note 3.) 5.) Pope Francis sent a video message to Kenneth Copeland for all Charismatics to join the Catholic Church. Kenneth Copeland has accepted. ( Note 3 ) 6.) Pope Francis has also told followers: The Koran and the Holy Bible are the same. ( Note 4 ) They are not the same. The Koran follows Allah who has no Son. The Bible acknowledges Jesus as the way, the truth and the life, as the way to God the Father. The Koran tells Muslims to kills unbelievers. In the Bible we are to love our enemies, bless them, pray for them and do good for them. 7.) In December 2015 Pope Francis kissed the Koran. ( Note 5 ) 8.) In St. Patricks Cathedral a few months ago the Pope said to Muslims: I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful. ( Note 6 ) 9.) Pope Francis has permitted Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran at the Vatican. ( Note 6 ) 10.) In St. Patricks Cathedral the Pope also said: “we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross. ( Note 6 ) 11.) Pope Francis entered the Blue Mosque in Istanbul Turkey, where he took off his shoes, and bowed toward Mecca and made his prayer. ( Note 7 ) Summary on a False Prophet: We do not know whether the current Pope is the False Prophet of Revelation Chapter 13. He is promoting the spirit of Anti-Christ and is using Satanic lies. The Pope attempts to combine the world in peace by combining gods and excluding Jesus. Combining gods with the one true God is strictly forbidden by our God. By setting aside Jesus and the cross, the mediator between God and men is no longer wanted. By so doing the Pope condemns the whole world to go to the lake of fire, apart from God. God the Father was clear when He spoke via a voice from heaven and said about Jesus in the Jordan River: This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. On the mount of transfiguration the Father added: Hear Him. John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” Allah does not have a son and he does not acknowledge Jesus as the mediator between God and men. Allah is another god but not the true God of true Christians. The Lord says in His 1st Commandment Exodus 20:3: You shall have no other gods before me. I love Muslim people. I have had Muslim people stay at my place. I paid for the funeral of a Muslim who died from a work accident, but I cannot accept their faith as it leads me into an eternity apart from the true God. It leads me to hell. So I must choose this day whom I will serve: Joshua 24:15 "-----But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Yes, we must love Muslims and share our faith with Muslims and all others who need Christ, but we cannot accept false gods. At the top right: The second coming of Christ. On the upper right you see the Lord Jesus Christ returning to earth to set up his kingdom. Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Rev. 19:11-16 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. 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, 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. On the right: The war of Armageddon. It is not the last war and it is not the end of the world. The last war is on the next slide. It is a terrible global war likely with nuclear weapons. Rev. 16:12-16 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” 16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. Rev. 19:19 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. Matthew 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. Let us look at a few more of the Revelation judgments: The Seal Judgments in Revelation Chapter 6 start with the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The first rider of these is a rider on a white horse. (Slide 4)Rev. 6:1-2 the 1st seal Judgment. “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” This rider is not the Lord Jesus. The Lord comes with many crowns and a robe dipped in blood. This is Anti Christ coming with a crown, and a bow but no arrow. The absence of an arrow indicates him seeking a peace agreement. He is allowed to conquer for a time. Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; ( seven years ) But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” Revelation 13: If you go to U tube under: "Edgar Reich the Antichrist revealed", there is a verse by verse explanation (Slide 5)The 5th seal judgment: Revelation 6:9-11 “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” Here we have a clear statement that fellow Christians will be killed in the great tribulation. Revelation 20:4 ( Beheading will be the primary method. ) 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. Rev. 7:9,13,14 A great multitude of Christians which no one can number, died, and is seen in heaven. Where did they come from? They came out of the great tribulation. 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. There are Christians throughout the great tribulation. Also see Rev. 12:11; Rev. 13:15; Rev. 17:6. Why does God allow martyrdom? The word martyr means “Witness”. The blood of the martyrs drenches the ground and lets new seeds sprout. Often the death of martyrs brings some people to believe and be saved. You might say this can’t happen in America??????? The Army, Navy and Airforce in the USA have been forbidden to use the name of Jesus. When you return from the field injured you cannot be comforted in the name of Jesus. At Arlington National cemetery you can no longer be buried in the name of Jesus. In public prayers in the USA the name of Jesus is forbidden. Homeland Security, the FBI and national police forces are categorizing Bible believing Christians with terrorists. A new poll reveals that 45 percent of the Democrats in the USA, who responded, believe that Christians are a greater threat to America than Muslims. The telephone survey of registered voters was taken Dec. 18-27,15 by Clout Research, a national opinion research firm in Columbus, Ohio, for WND.com. This survey and its results show how much we have failed ( me included ) as Christians to both live the life God wants us to live and to share the love, hope and joy we have, with others, and for them to benefit from our great salvation and glorious future. (Slide 6) Example of a Seal Judgments: The 6th Seal Revelation 6:12-17 Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances, Earthquake, Men hide from God and Jesus Christ. 12” I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Note: The sky receding as a scroll reminds us of nuclear bombs exploding. (Slide 7) The 1000 year reign of Christ: On the left: Judgment of the Goats and Sheep, and Judgment of the Living Nations. Here the “sheep” the born again will repopulate the world after the battle of Armageddon. Matthew 25:32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Matthew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: ( These are the self righteous who would not help the hungry, the strangers, the destitute, the sick, those in prison. ) Matthew 25:46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” On the bottom left: Satan is bound for 1000 years. Rev. 20:2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; In the center: Christ reigns for 1000 years. Rev. 20:4-6 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. 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 with Him a thousand years. Psalm 2:6-8 “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. Top left: Judgment of Israel. Ezekiel 20:35 ( Read the whole passage of Ez. 20:33-44 ) And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. Top right: Martyrs raised from death to reign with Jesus: Rev. 20:4 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. Bottom right: Satan is released after 1000 years: Revelation 20:7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison On the right: Final War Rev. 20:7-9 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. Slide (8) Behold, God makes all things new. On the left side: Judgement of the fallen angels: 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 will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Jude 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; At the top: The Great White Throne Judgment. Rev. 20:11-15 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. 12 And I saw the dead, 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. 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 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. At the bottom: The Lake of Fire Rev. 20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Center middle: The old earth is burnt up. 2 Peter 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. Upper center: The new earth: Rev. 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. Upper right: The New Jerusalem. Rev. 21:2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Rev. 21:16 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. ( 1377 miles square, in width, in height, etc. ) Bottom right: A new Heaven and Universe: Rev. 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. Rev. 21:5 “Behold I make all things new:” 1.) No more sin, death and hell. 2.) We have new incorruptible bodies and we live forever. Math. 22:30. 3.) New Heaven. 4.) New Earth. 5.) New Jerusalem. 6.) New living conditions. 7.) New relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Slide (9) We must get ready for this new environment. God sent His Son Jesus to die for us and our sins. Jesus is the bridge to get to heaven. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Invitation for those not yet born again: The Son of God came to die for our sins and pay the penalty for our sins for us. Through Him we can have eternal life and live in heaven with Him forever. We can turn from darkness to light if we want to through Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. We can turn from the power of darkness, from Satan to God and his Son Jesus, by asking Jesus for forgiveness of our sins and asking Him to make us new. We can receive forgiveness of all of our sins. We can receive an inheritance from God among those who follow Jesus in faith. May I invite you to repent from your sins and turn to Jesus? I invite you to ask Christ Jesus to forgive your sins and to ask Him for eternal life. Side (10) Invitation for believers: If you have not lived the life you ought to as a Christian please repent and turn to Jesus. 1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. When we are born again Christians, we are safe in the arms of God and have eternal life. There will be no more pain, no more sickness, no more crying, no more killing, no more addictions and no more death in heaven. Praise God. In dependence upon God will you share that great Salvation you have with those you love and know? Pray for them first. Forgive them if they have hurt you, love them, and smile, sharing your joy. Pray for cleansing from the Lord for yourself first, ask for the Lord to fill you anew with His Holy Spirit, trust Him that He will help you to speak and open up your mouth. You will experience miracles. My testimony: I used to run a 900 million dollar business, and later businesses with 400 Million turnover, but I was deeply discouraged about my life. I had left my family and I was living common law. I was deep in sin and addicted. I had no hope and no future. Then came the day when Jesus came and I had a vision of being in an open grave. I thought I would have to go to hell for eternity. Then Jesus came and rescued me. My sins were all forgiven and snapped off my body like threads. I knelt and I prayed: Lord Jesus I ask you for forgiveness for all of my sins. I believe You have died for my sins. Thank you so much. Lord Jesus please come into my life, save me and make me new. I give my life to you. After I prayed I knew Jesus had forgiven me and made me new. Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, when at the cross the Savior made me whole. My life changed. Then the Lord and the Bible says: “Do works befitting repentance.” 1.) I gave up sinning. Sometimes I still fail but God says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 2.) I forgave the person that had misused me sexually when I was 10 years old. 3.) I asked my former wife for forgiveness. She had gotten married again. She forgave me. 4.) I called up my two daughters. They had prayed for me for 18 years and that is why I am here today. 5.) I asked both of my daughters for forgiveness and I told them why I could not hug them after the age of ten. They forgave me. 6.) I called the women I had lived common law with and asked her for forgiveness. She called me two years later and told me she would have never found God unless God had taken me away from her. 7.) Then I gave everything away, I gave all to the poor. I gave up my multi million dollar job and followed Jesus. The Lord called me into ministry. And now I am able to love, to have joy, and to have peace. My sins are all forgiven and I’m on my way to heaven. Heaven came down and glory filled my soul. Perhaps you have no future and no hope. Your destiny is hell. Perhaps you are hopelessly addicted. Perhaps you have done major wrongs. God loves you and wants to give you a new start in life. Would you pray the prayer I prayed? Would you give your life to Christ? You can have that new life today if you truly mean it and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and make you new. Then obtain a Bible as quickly as possible. Read your Bible every day. Talk to the Lord every day, it’s called prayer. Find a Bible believing Church and Christians and join them. If you have any questions please E-mail me at “[email protected] Note 1.) The Catholic Answers Blog on March 25, 2013 reported | Last week, Pope Francis received a collection of world religious leaders in his first ecumenical and interreligious event. His address to them contained diplomatic niceties and specific expressions of good will aimed at Orthodox, Protestants, Jews, and Muslims. His remarks to the latter recognized that Muslims “worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon him in prayer.” In this he echoed the 1964 dogmatic constitution Lumen Gentium, which gave a nod to “the Mohammedans, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.” ( Christians, Muslims, and the "One God "Todd Aglialoro) Note 2.) Pope Francis raised a lot of eyebrows after saying all people who do good works, including atheists, are going to heaven. Here’s what Pope Francis said about atheists: The exact quote by Stephen Driscoll / CNA The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there. Note 3.) Pope Francis And The Emerging One World Religion: Prophezine article. Is Pope Francis taking steps that are laying the groundwork for the emergence of a one world religion? If that question sounds quite bizarre to you, I urge you to read the rest of this article. We live at a time when globalization is advancing rapidly. The global economy is more integrated than it has ever been before, and with each passing year new economic treaties tie us even more closely together. And “global governance” (as the elite like to call it) is also steadily gaining ground. Through a whole host of global institutions such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements, global governments are working together to a degree that is unprecedented. Well, what about religion? Is there evidence that we are also witnessing the globalization of religion? Well, yes there is. In fact, it appears that Pope Francis intends to lead the way. Since he has been Pope, Francis has expressed a desire for unity with the Eastern Orthodox, the Anglicans, and many other major Protestant denominations. But more than a few eyebrows were raised when he recently sent a video message to Kenneth Copeland and his congregation. At the time that the video message was played to the congregation, one speaker declared that “Luther’s protest is over”…“The Catholic and Charismatic Renewal is the hope of the Church,” exclaims Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer, before a group of cheering followers at the Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Palmer said those words are from the Vatican. Before playing the video message from Pope Francis to Kenneth Copeland, Palmer told the crowd, “When my wife saw that she could be Catholic, and Charismatic, and Evangelical, and Pentecostal, and it was absolutely accepted in the Catholic Church, she said that she would like to reconnect her roots with the Catholic culture. So she did.”The crowd cheered, as he continued, “Brothers and sisters, Luther’s protest is over. Is yours?”Even Kenneth Copeland finds this development incredible: Said Copeland, “Heaven is thrilled over this…You know what is so thrilling to me? When we went into the ministry 47 years ago, this was impossible.” Note 4.) Pope Francis To Followers:“The Koran And Holy Bible Are The Same” During an hour-long speech, a smiling Pope Francis was quoted telling the Vatican’s guests that the Koran, and the spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible. “Jesus Christ, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.” Note 5.) The pontiff drew harsh criticisms in December 2015 after photos of the 78-year-old Catholic leader was released depicting Pope Francis kissing a Koran. The Muslim Holy Book was given to Francis during a meeting with Muslim leaders after a lengthy Muslim prayer held at the Vatican. Note 6.) IN NEW YORK, POPE FRANCIS EMBRACED CHRISLAM AND LAID A FOUNDATION FOR A ONE WORLD RELIGION. If all this sounds incredibly strange to you, just keep reading, because this is just the tip of the iceberg. Michael Snyder | End Of The American Dream - SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 Remarks made by Pope Francis at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan have sparked a firestorm of criticism from those that do not believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Many have taken the Pope’s remarks as a major step in the direction of a one world religion, and the truth is that the Pope has made other such statements in the past. In recent years, the theory that Christianity and Islam are just two distinct paths to God among many others has rapidly gained traction all over the planet. Some religious leaders have even gone so far as to try to merge Islamic and Christian practices, and the term “Chrislam” is now often used to describe this ecumenical movement. If all this sounds incredibly strange to you, just keep reading, because this is just the tip of the iceberg. What Pope Francis had to say at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan has received very little coverage by the mainstream media, but it was exceedingly significant. The following is how he began his address…I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca. In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful. He did not choose those words by accident. In Islam, Allah is known as “the all-merciful one”. If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this is not the first time Pope Francis has used such language. For instance, the following comes from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope…I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity. The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs. Pope Francis clearly believes that Christians and Muslims worship the exact same God. And so that helps to explain why he authorized “Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran” at the Vatican for the first time ever back in 2014. Pope Francis made another statement at St. Patrick’s Cathedral that has shocked believers all over the planet. Apparently this Pope seems to think that the cross was a “failure”…The Pope said: The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.
