If you’ve just tuned in, you are listening to a special UNIVERSAL NEWS BROADCAST. We are recapping the major past events, from Israel’s rebirth through the Tribulation and destruction of the world during the Battle of Armageddon.
God’s Word had indicated that the East Gate would be shut and not opened until Jesus returned.
The outside of the gate facing east (that is, the Mount of Olives) had been sealed for hundreds of years.
The western side of the gate had not been sealed. Inside the gate was a large room. Before the Tribulation, it was used by the Arabs for various purposes, such as classrooms and meetings.
Now that Jesus had returned, He entered the Temple Mount through the East Gate.
The earth shined with His glory.
The Lord caused the names of the idols to be cut off out of the land, and also the prophets and the unclean spirit shall pass out of the land.
Satan will remain bound and shut up for 1000 years; afterward, he MUST BE LOOSED A LITTLE SEASON-Rev 20:3.
THIS GENERATION (the generation of the rebirth of Israel) PASSED AWAY
It was written, Lk 21:32-VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.
When Israel was reborn back on May 14th, 1948, the generation of the fig tree had begun.
Jesus had returned at the time of Armageddon. The earth was cleansed. Few people were left alive.
The generation that began with Israel’s rebirth did not pass away until Armageddon was over and the elect were gathered.
The Scriptures had said in Ps 90:10-THE DAYS OF OUR YEARS ARE THREESCORE YEARS AND TEN (or 70 years); AND IF BY REASON OF STRENGTH THEY BE FOURSCORE YEARS (or 80), YET IS THEIR STRENGTH LABOUR AND SORROW; FOR IT IS SOON CUT OFF, AND WE FLY AWAY.
That generation had passed, and the kingdoms of this world had become the kingdoms of our Lord. He began to reign for 1000 years.
Armageddon was over. The powers of the high ones (or wicked spirits), or those in the heavens, as well as the kings of the earth shall be gathered. They shall be shut up in the pit. After a long time, they shall be visited (or punished).
After Armageddon, Jesus sent His angels with a loud trumpet call. They gathered together the elect from everywhere—all that were left alive. This was those that had followed Jesus through the Tribulation and had, by God’s mercy, avoided being killed for their faith. These were the sheep.
Also gathered were the goats. These were those that had taken the mark and worshipped the image and had not been killed during the Battle of Armageddon.
“And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.”
"When the Son of Man came in his glory, and all the angels with him, he sat on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations were gathered before him. He separated the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He put the sheep on his right, and the goats on his left.”
"Then the King said to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.
I was a stranger, and you invited me in.
I needed clothes, and you clothed me.
I was sick, and you looked after me.
I was in prison, and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous answered him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you something to drink?
When did we see you a stranger and invite you in,
or needing clothes and clothe you?
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King replied, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
In other words: Jesus told HIS SAINTS that were on His right side that during the Tribulation they did help fellow saints. They helped them even though they might be caught and killed during the Tribulation for doing so. Their faith enabled them to overcome their fears. Undoubtedly, some did get caught doing these things and were beaten and executed.
"Then he said to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat.
I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink.
I was a stranger, and you did not invite me in.
I needed clothes, and you did not clothe me.
I was sick and in prison, and you did not look after me.'
"They also answered and said,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, or a stranger, or needing clothes, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'
"He replied, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these (which were the saints), you did not do for me.'
"Then they went away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
The power of Satan to deceive was emphasized over and over in Scripture.
Satan deceived Eve, and Eve deceived Adam.
Satan worked through Cain, who killed his brother.
The world, before the flood, showed the working of Satan.
The world, after the flood, again, turned from God because of the deceptions of Satan.
Jesus was crucified, as a result of the princes of this world-ref 1 Cor 2:8.
Note the following verses, and be on your guard against Satan. Satan has great deceptive powers.
Acts 5:3-PETER SAID, ANANIAS, WHY HATH SATAN FILLED THINE HEART TO LIE TO THE HOLY GHOST?
2 Cor 2:11-Beware, LEST SATAN SHOULD GET AN ADVANTAGE OF US.
2 Cor 11:14-AND NO MARVEL; FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. Many of the thoughts we have from Satan look like they are right and are from God, but they are contrary to God’s Word and are from the devil. However, nearly all people are ignorant of this, because they have so little knowledge of what the Bible says.
2 Cor 12:7-THERE WAS GIVEN TO ME A THORN IN THE FLESH, THE MESSENGER OF SATAN TO BUFFET ME.
1 Pe 5:8-BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
Do not underestimate your enemy, the devil.
Satan did indeed deceive the whole world.
So many preachers and people did not understand the fear of the Lord before the Rapture.
It may have never entered their mind that Jesus would do such things. They did not understand that God is a jealous God. They did not understand judgment. God had tolerated man’s rebellion.
He had tolerated the distorted and deceitful teaching of God’s Word for a very long time.
He had tolerated people’s intolerance toward sound Bible teaching and doctrine.
He had tolerated man’s desire to hear teaching that pleased their self-centered nature.
He had tolerated ministers teaching that the fear of God only meant to reverence Him.
He had tolerated those that claimed to be ministers of Jesus Christ, yet taught salvation could be achieved by only saying a prayer. Many ministers omitted repentance, obeying God’s commandments, and those that repented and believed were under commandment to be baptized by full immersion.
Ministers in the last generation before the Rapture had been teaching a watered-down, “feel good” Gospel; and the people loved to have it so—until they perished.
Ministers had omitted telling people that once a person received Christ as their Lord and Savior, they would be tested (or proved) in many ways to see if their faith was genuine. Some would be tested even to the point of having to die for Christ. Those whose faith failed and turned back, Jesus had no pleasure in them. They perished. Their lamps had gone out. They became shipwrecked. They went back to the mud.
Jesus had been standing outside of the doors of many churches, but they would not let Him in, as their Gospel teaching was to please men more than to please God. Most ministers of that day were totally blind as to the condition of their teaching. They knew not these things, yet were confident they did understand.
But, then, that time ended. Multitudes of both people and clergy were left behind, when the Rapture came. Many were famous ministers that had great television outreaches and many listened to their teachings. Only a few were translated to meet the Lord in the air.
During the Tribulation, most of the people of the world had taken the mark of the Antichrist. They had worshiped him and his image. Sin had come to the full. But then mankind’s rebellion against God was brought to a very abrupt end.
It was written, Isa 34:1-COME NEAR, YE NATIONS, TO HEAR; AND HEARKEN, YE PEOPLE: LET THE EARTH HEAR, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN; THE WORLD, AND ALL THINGS THAT COME FORTH OF IT.
The beginning of the Millennium was on the fifteenth day of the seventh month on the Jewish calendar. This was the Feast of Tabernacles and represented the coming state of rest called the MILLENNIUM.
The kingdoms of this world became the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. Jesus Christ now reigned. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He will reign for 1000 years.
The rain resumed during the first month of the Millennium. This was also a clear indication from the Scriptures that the two prophets of God would be upon the earth during the second part of the Tribulation.
It was written, BE GLAD THEN, YE CHILDREN OF ZION, AND REJOICE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD: FOR HE HATH GIVEN YOU THE FORMER RAIN MODERATELY, AND HE WILL CAUSE TO COME DOWN FOR YOU THE RAIN, THE FORMER RAIN, AND THE LATTER RAIN IN THE FIRST MONTH. AND THE FLOORS SHALL BE FULL OF WHEAT, AND THE VATS SHALL OVERFLOW WITH WINE AND OIL-Joel 2:23,24. The rain that was held back during the second part of the Tribulation shall come down during the very beginning of the Millennium.
The effect of all that rain was to cleanse the earth. It had been contaminated with blood, dead bodies and the results of the Battle of Armageddon. The fourth and last earthquake, which was during Armageddon, was the greatest one since man had been upon the earth. It had swallowed up the mountains and raised the low places. It had also had a cleansing effect upon the earth.
During the Millennium, nearly everything on the earth has changed.
Commercialism, as existed previously on the earth, is gone.
People are expected to live the entire length of the Millennium. A child will be as a hundred years old.
Satan is no longer able to deceive the people of the earth.
Peace has now filled the earth.
Love is everywhere.
The animals are different.
The curse that had been on the earth since the fall of Adam has come off.
The yield in the gardens and on fruit trees is unbelievable.
There is no shortage of food at all.
The world loves the Jews.
The world loves Jesus Christ.
The knowledge of the Lord fills the earth.
It would probably easily take a hundred pages or more of information to tell all the Bible has to say about what will happen and how it will be during the Millennium.
God willing, that may come forth soon.
A great multitude shouted: ALLELUIA: FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT (or Almighty) REIGNETH. ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, had begun to reign!. Their sound was as that of mighty thunderings.
Jesus appeared in Glory. The Ancient of Days had come. His garment was as white as snow. His hair was like pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame.
He now rules with a rod of iron. He rules with an iron scepter. The saints also rule over tens, hundreds, thousands, cities, and nations. Their position of authority had been determined according to their works and faithfulness to God’s Word during their life upon the earth.
Because Satan was bound and cast into the bottomless pit, with a seal placed on him so he can no longer deceive the people or nations—there is now love and peace for 1000 years.
After the return of Christ, after that which is perfect came, He built again the Tabernacle of David. He, whose name is the BRANCH, rebuilt the Temple of the Lord.
He sits and rules upon His throne.
Jesus has returned to Zion. He dwells in the midst of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is called a City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of Hosts, the holy mountain.
The dominion of Christ is from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
It was also a time to reward His servants the prophets, and the holy people, and those that feared His name, both small and great.
Those rewards included the positions of authority they would have for one thousand years, as Jesus would rule and reign as King of kings, and Lord of lords.
For the first time since man has existed, Satan was not able to deceive the people or the nations. For one thousand years, he was unable to place wrong thinking into anyone's mind. The wicked thoughts that people once had have disappeared. Thoughts of rebellion and stubbornness against God have ceased. For one thousand years, there will be peace. The world now embraces the Jew. People love one another. Sin and rebellion toward God has disappeared. Hate and mistrust is gone. Love prevails.
The Scriptures had foretold that after the Lord Jesus Christ reigned for one thousand years, Satan would be let out of the bottomless pit for a little season.
Once again, people all over the earth, whose numbers will be huge, will rebel against Jesus.
Once again, there will be war, as man’s thoughts become evil because of Satan’s power.
All those born during the Millennium will now be tested to see if they will follow Christ, or the thoughts they have from Satan.
As humanity was tested from the time of Adam and Eve to see whom they would follow, so now, in the last days of the earth, they also must be tested.
Those deceived by Satan will surround the camp of the saints and the holy city.
Fire will come down from God out of heaven.
The heavens and the earth shall pass away.
There shall come forth a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.
New Jerusalem, a city built by God, will come forth from above. It will be shaped like a cube. Its dimensions will be approximately 1500 miles by 1500 miles by 1500 miles. The description the Bible gives of this city is incredible. It is beautiful beyond what we can imagine.
Rev 20:7-15-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, GOG AND MAGOG, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER TO BATTLE: THE NUMBER OF WHOM IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA.
AND THEY WENT UP ON THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH, AND COMPASSED THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS ABOUT, AND THE BELOVED CITY: AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURED THEM.
AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, AND SHALL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER.
AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM.
AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT, STAND BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED, WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE: AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.
AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN IT; AND DEATH AND HELL DELIVERED UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN THEM: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.
AND DEATH AND HELL WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.
AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
Life is a test that few ministers ever seem to have understood.
Those few that followed Jesus (note, I did not say accepted Jesus), those few that denied themselves, and picked up their cross, and followed Jesus, these shall be with Christ for eternity—time without end.
But those that did not repent,
those that made excuse,
those whose faith was not such that they would have died for Christ,
those that loved this present world,
those that were fearful and did not place their trust in Christ,
woe to them.
Mankind has been put on this earth to be tested.
Adam and Even were tested to see whom they would follow. They chose Satan. They fell, and died.
The children in the wilderness were tested. Most fell, and perished.
All, from Adam and Eve to this very day, have been tested. Most would not follow Christ to the point of death. They perished. What about you?
So then all those born during the Millennium will be tested. This occurs when Satan is set free for a little season, after the Millennium has expired. Most will follow Satan and surround the camp of the saints and Jerusalem, but they shall be destroyed.
Nearly every person, from the creation, will be in the eternal lake of fire being tormented continually. They will never have any rest.
Salvation is not making some kind of superficial commitment to Christ, and then just going to church.
Salvation is not what most preachers seem to believe and say.
It is a total, uncompromising commitment of love and obedience to Jesus Christ. And if you are following Christ, that is, if you HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT dwelling inside of you, YOU WILL have a deep desire to read, study and hear God’s Word.
Preaching that is like endless talking will not be pleasing to your ears.
Churches that preach what your “itching,” worldly ears want to hear will not be pleasing to you.
How can the Spirit grow in you, if it is not fed with the pure WORD OF GOD?
PLEASE, CONSIDER ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID.
THE LAKE OF FIRE
These followers of Satan were clearly shown the truth, yet they chose to disregard it.
They are now being tormented for time without end. There shall never be a moment for ever and ever that they shall not be tormented. They will never have any rest day or night. They will never have a moment of relief. Smoke will come forth from the lake of fire from their torment; and it shall also rise up for ever and ever.
Ultimately, every person that had not followed Christ will be in the LAKE OF FIRE, forever and ever.
WILL YOU BE THERE, TOO?
