The End Time sequence of Events...

[Hobie]

What is coming, what does the Bible tell us and in what sequence. Well, the James Webb Space Telescope shows a interstellar object in space heading for our solar system at light speed, and we see wars and rumors of wars and nations preparing alliances much as before WWI and WWII, and much of leaders gathering on peace talks, what does the Bible tell us? Scripture tells us of a “sudden destruction”, we find it in 1 Thessalonians 5:3..

1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

This is not a local or limited event such as Gaza or 9/11, but what will certainly be a world changing or cataclysmic event. What are we given next, lets look.
Revelation 13:11-17
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Then we have the “Image of the Beast” which is a political power that begins to compelling observance of or compliance with a law, or obligation, of a religious nature, I think every one has heard or knows the words “Christian Nationalism” by now. We do not need to look far to see the implementation of the image in the news, with leaders in Cabinet position, Supreme Court, of the Senate and Congress being filled by followers of the original Beast. So the image of the Beast, has been readied, I don’t think I need to say more as we watch it rise and its laws implemented.

Then will come the Close of Probation and the sealing of the 144000. the time such as never was, the Seven Last Plagues, and the 'false christ' showing up before the Second Coming of Christ.

So where are we now in the sequence as we see the Image clearly forming and 'Peace and Safety' coming from the top, and what do we have coming to the time of the end.

We have already begun with the signs with the fires and floods and pandemic but there is worse to come as we see the new world order unite saying its to combat these events, but there purpose is for a different reason. Revelation describes the whore of Babylon and we see that the leaders of this world will unite and give their power and support to the this AntiChrist power, apostate church, and then this new world order will be in a position ready to enforce the mark of the beast.

Revelation 17:17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The Mark of the Beast will be enforced by what can only be the force of law on the whole world and people will have to choose. Revelation 13 tells us that the mark of the beast will be enforced upon the whole world ...
Revelation 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

The new world order governments will unite in convincing the world that the mark of the beast will be the "solution" to the world's problems, much as we see with these laws on 'climate change'. They will convince the world that all these troubles are the judgments of God because of us not following Him and then insert the deception of what they want the world to do.

 

[Hobie]

Now before anyone chooses for or against the mark of the beast, God, through His remnant on earth will send a final message to the world. This message contained in the three angel's messages of Revelation 14 is God's last call of mercy to the world.

Revelation 14:8-11
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
'
So the choice as to receiving the Mark of the Beast comes now and probation closes. Once everyone have made their decision for the mark of the beast or the seal of God, then the door of mercy will close and everyone will be judged either righteous or filthy ...
Revelation 22:11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Then we shall see a time of trouble, like we have newer seen before, the great tribulation prophesied in Daniel..
Daniel 12:1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Then come Seven Last Plagues as now that everyone has decided which side they will follow, either that of Christ or the beast, God's final judgments can begin to fall upon this world, in the form of the seven last plagues. These plagues will be the wrath of God..
Revelation 14:10
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Revelation 14:19
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Then will come the Battle of Armageddon which is the final world battle and will happen when Jesus Christ returns,,,
Revelation 19:15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

We will then have the second coming of Christ will be a world wide, visible event as He comes with all His angels. Jesus will return in unimaginable glory to deliver His people. There will be no secret rapture like so many believe, as the Bible clearly states that EVERY EYE will see Jesus return, and that His second coming will be a seen and heard by the whole world.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

We will then have the Resurrection of the saints lying asleep in the graves and the 144,000 living saints at the second coming, the graves will burst open and the righteous will rise up and together with the saints who have gone through the great tribulation and are still alive, will meet Jesus in the air ...
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Now this is the 'first resurrection' and the wicked or the rest of the dead (lost sinners) will not live again until the 1000 years are over ...
Revelation 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

The saints and the 144,000 go to heaven with Christ and His angels and only after 1000 Year Millennium in heaven does the New Jerusalem come down to earth, and the wicked burn in the lake of fire. Contrary to what many have been told, we do not spend the 1000 years on earth wandering about with the wicked...

Revelation 20:6-8
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 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.

After the 1000 years in Heaven, we return to this earth in the New Jerusalem and the wicked are resurrected and Satan gathers them together to fight and take the New Jerusalem ...
Revelation 20:9-10
9 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.
10 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.

So the wicked are thrown into the lake of fire, where they are consumed and cease to exist in the second death, and even Satan himself is finally destroyed and will cease to exist.
Revelation 20:14-15
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Sorry but I find that this misses a lot. The Rev text said it was about things that would happen right away on its first page, twice.

The Thess material is very direct--expecting the total end of the world in that time, as most other NT passages did, including I Cor 7 which advises against marriage because of that.

Mt 24A (before v29) is about 1st century Judea, then after 'these things' the worldwide wrath was expected, as mentioned above. It did not occur because God has redemptively delayed, says 2 Peter 3.

Islam is much more of a daunting threat at this time, and is also totalitarian. We should be resisting totalitarianism of any kind.

The Christian nationalism remark is off base, too. In fact, that is how globalism should be resisted. Acts 17 says all nations were appointed their times and boundaries, a line that comes from Deut 32. Like the US Constitution, it is best if this nationalism is Christian, not secular. This has been the case since Hus resisted the Holy Roman Empire.

Speaking of, we should note that the 16th century had the combined evils of Islam, the Black Plague, the HRE and the Little Ice Age. So far as I know, the death toll of western Europe, where Christian faith was expanding, was some 2/3 of the starting population figure. And yet here we are now.

There will be no secret rapture like so many believe, as the Bible clearly states that EVERY EYE will see Jesus return, and that His second coming will be a seen and heard by the whole world.

The way I see it Jesus comes with His saints....that would be us...not the angels at this time.

Rev 17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”

Rev 19: 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. 15 And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

Rev 3:5 5 Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.
