THE DAY OF THE LORD

IS THE DAY OF THE LORD THE TIME OF GOD’S WRATH?

WHO IS GOING TO SUFFER THIS WRATH?

WHY DOES THIS WRATH OCCUR?

WHAT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME FOR MANKIND?

IS THIS THE TIME OF GOD’S WRATH?

We know that the Four Judgments of God is the time of Jacob’s trouble and is brought on by God, and it affects the modern-day nations of Israel which are: England, America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc.

The day of the Lord however is the time of God’s wrath on the gentile nations. The reasons that this wrath comes on them are made clear in the following scriptures. Gentile nations must learn to turn from their evil ways and turn to the ways of God. This is a hard lesson to learn, but they must learn it for their own good in the long run.

Isa 13:6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

God the Father sends His destruction at this time.

Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.

Isa 13:11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

These verses plainly state that it is the time of God’s wrath, it is cruel and with fierce anger. It is because of the sin and evil that is on the earth.

Joe 1:15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.

The day of the Lord, is destruction from God the Father.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.

Zec 14:2 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.

Zec 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.

Zec 14:4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.

Here is some very exciting new knowledge for us, we see plainly that God the Father is on earth during the Day of the Lord. {further on in this article, we will show the scripture which states that He comes during the Martyrdom of Saints} As we saw in our article “God the Father Revealed”, which is on this website, we explained that H3068 in Strong’s Concordance can only refer to God the Father, and cannot be Christ. {Please refer to that article for a thorough explanation of who the Father actually is}. We see plainly in the above scripture that the Father comes to earth.

This is astounding truth, and we must be prepared to believe our Bibles. We have always imagined that God the Father has a distant relationship with man. Nothing could be further from the truth, remember this is end time knowledge for God’s end time people, it is only revealed in these last days to God’s people who have ears to hear the truth of the Bible. This knowledge was known by the church when it was founded, but has been lost over time, this is restored knowledge about God the Father. Read your Bibles, believe what it says, if we want to be a firstfruit we must believe God and His word the Bible.

In Zechariah we see plainly that God the Father will be on earth during the Day of the Lord. When you think about it, why wouldn’t He be here?

Jer 46:10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, A day of vengeance, That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries. The sword shall devour; It shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood; For the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice In the north country by the River Euphrates.

The above scriptures are proof that the Day of the Lord is God’s wrath on sinning mankind.

WHO IS GOING TO SUFFER THIS WRATH?

Isa 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up And it shall be brought low

Firstly we see that the attitude of man stinks to God and He has to do something about it to change man’s attitude. We see that anyone who is proud, lofty, and lifted up, will have to change their attitudes. This will not be easy as pride is a very hard sin to overcome. A great deal of mankind have this sin.

Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.

God hates sin, it is because of sin that His own Son had to die. Yet we see that there are many sinners in this world, and we see that these sinners are targeted also in the Day of the Lord.

Eze 13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord GOD.

The following scripture is talking to false religions, who have spoken lies to their followers about God, plus they were vain people loving the salutations of man and the best seats in church. God hates these attitudes. There are a lot of self-professing religious leaders who claim to be ministers of God when they are nothing of the kind, and they have misled many people. We must believe God and believe the truth, or we will be no different to them.

Amo 5:21 “I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

Amo 5:22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

Amo 5:23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

God says He hates these festivals because they were kept in the wrong attitude. There is much pain and suffering, ahead for those affected by the Day of the Lord and we must look to the end result of God’s plan.

Oba 1:15 “For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

Oba 1:16 For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.

The heathen also are targeted in the Day of the Lord, and as they have acted, so shall they now reap their actions, as you sow, so shall you reap. Unfortunately for them, this will be a very hard time indeed. God will make them as though they have not been.

Zep 1:7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the LORD is at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.

Zep 1:8 “And it shall be, In the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, That I will punish the princes and the king’s children, And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

Zep 1:9 In the same day I will punish All those who leap over the threshold, Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

Zep 1:10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the LORD, “The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate, A wailing from the Second Quarter, And a loud crashing from the hills.

Zep 1:11 Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh! For all the merchant people are cut down; All those who handle money are cut off.

Zep 1:12 “And it shall come to pass at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And punish the men Who are settled in complacency, Who say in their heart, ‘The LORD will not do good, Nor will He do evil.’

Zep 1:13 Therefore their goods shall become booty, And their houses a desolation; They shall build houses, but not inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.”

Zep 1:14 The great day of the LORD is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out.

Zep 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness,

Zep 1:16 A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers.

Zep 1:17 “I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse.”

Zep 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD’s wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance Of all those who dwell in the land.

This above scripture tells a great deal about who will suffer God’s wrath in the Day of the Lord.

The Princes, the Kings sons will be punished. Those who clothe themselves with foreign garments. Those who fill the houses with violence and deceit. Those in Canaan will be silenced and those who handle money will be cut off. Jerusalem will be searched with lamps, for those who are stagnant in spirit. They will lose their houses and their wealth. Man will be distressed and walk like the blind, their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like refuse. Their wealth will not be able to help them. All the earth will be devoured in the fire of His jealousy, He will make a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

What a dreadful time is ahead for unrepentant mankind. This is real, this is the pages of our Bibles. This is going to happen in our time and we need to heed the warnings of God. Make sure we are awake make sure we are close to God. It is too easy to be complacent and do nothing in these end times. Heed these warnings and wake up.

1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

1Th 5:5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

This dreadful time will come upon people that are in darkness, but we are not of the darkness and it should not come upon us as a thief, we ought to be close to God and He will keep us informed of the lateness of the hour. We will be aware of the time of the Day of the Lord.

WHY IS THIS WRATH GOING TO OCCUR?

Isa 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up And it shall be brought low

This verse shows that people that are exalted must be brought low. God cannot use people who have a haughty attitude, and who feel that they do not need God. People have to be humbled before God will use them. This is for man’s own good in the long run. People will have to go through these terrible times before they realise that they need God.

Isa 2:17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

We see here mentioned again that God will not tolerate the loftiness and haughtiness of man. God alone shall be exalted not sinful man, with a rotten attitude. People must wake up and clean up their act before God will use them.

Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.

The above verse explains that sinners will be destroyed out of it. How important to realise that we must change our sinning ways or we will suffer the consequences of God’s wrath.

Again, we see that the world is full of evil, the wicked and the arrogant, pride and haughtiness. What a dreadful state of affairs we live in right now, the world simply has turned their back on God and have filled their minds and lives with an attitude that does not depend on God for anything. Unfortunately, they do not know that God is the giver of life and the sustainer of life and that we desperately need Him to care for us and to direct us in the correct ways to live. Many without God are heading for destruction and are on a self-destruct course that will reach its climax if man does not repent. Man needs to realise that they desperately need God. If they had God in their lives they would be happy. But man needs to learn this lesson, they will not just accept it without going through the Day of the Lord.

Isa 13:11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

We see here that the Lord avenges Himself of His adversaries. People are against God and His ways. In order to change they simply must be put through this terrible time.

God hates how these lying prophets lie about visions and say that God has told them things which God has not. They speak vanity, and lies. They lead God’s people astray, God hates this and will punish them.

Eze 13:6 They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD!’ But the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope that the word may be confirmed.

Eze 13:7 Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, ‘The LORD says,’ but I have not spoken.”

Eze 13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord GOD.

Eze 13:9 “My hand will be against the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

God’s wrath comes upon the heathen nations, and they shall be as though they had not been. This is because they have treated Jacob so badly. See verse 10. They will be treated the same as they treated their brother Jacob.

Oba 1:10 “For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever.

Oba 1:15 “For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

Oba 1:16 For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.

Zep 1:17 “I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse.”

This scripture refers to the Israelites in captivity during Jacob’s trouble, but note Elijah goes to them before the Day of the Lord.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

Mal 4:6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.

Unless people’s hearts are turned to the Father and He turns His heart to the children, the earth will be smitten with a curse. So there has to be a great change in attitude before this will happen. We need to know who the Father is. Do we know this? We have an article at this site called “God the Father Revealed” this is an in-depth article and should be read for a greater explanation.

This is how our hearts are turned to the Father, we have to know Him. When we know Him, put forth the effort to get close to Him and believe Him, He will turn His heart to us. At the present time, God is not pleased. Remember we are lukewarm we are the Laodicean era of the church. We must put in effort, get to know the Father.

The following scriptures shed new light on the end time events which will soon come on unprepared mankind.

Here we see that Christ comes with the Angels.

Mat 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.

Mat 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

We see that the Father comes to earth with the saints. This new knowledge is restored knowledge, these things have been lost but in the end time, they are restored. We have never known that the Father comes to earth at this time. This is amazing revealed knowledge from God.

Zec 14:5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You.

The following two scriptures are difficult at first glance to understand. Remember that we have proved that in the Old Testament H3068 in Strong’s Concordance can only mean God the Father. H3068 cannot refer to Christ, only the Father. If you have not already done so, please read our article “God the Father Revealed” which is located on this website, and explains this knowledge in detail.

Now let’s look at the two scriptures:

This verse has to be referring to Christ because it says unto us a Child is born. Yet we read, His name shall be called everlasting Father. This is very difficult to understand. He cannot be called the everlasting Father. So look at the amazing truth in this explanation.

“His name shall be called” if you look up these words in the Strong’s Concordance, you will notice that these words can be translated as: The authority who says this.

So it is translated as: And the authority who says this is Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. These titles are actually referring to God the Father. This is amazing and yet true.

Isa 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 (And the authority who says this is) Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The other verse is very similar:

This verse is referring to David, but we see the word Lord used here is H3068. We have already proved that this word can only be used for the Father. So what is the explanation? It is very similar to Isaiah. The words “name whereby He shall be called,” should be translated, and the authority that says this is the Lord our Righteousness. We see that the first part of the verse is referring to David but the later part of the verse is referring to the Father.

How simple the scriptures are if we let God lead us to all truth.

Jer 23:5 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

Jer 23:6 In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: (and the authority that says this is) THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Now back to the return of Christ and the Father. Let’s look at some more scriptures which are actually referring to the return of the Father, we have always thought that these scriptures referred to Christ’s return, but in fact these refer to the return of the Father.

Joe 3:16 The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

Mic 2:12 “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the midst of their pasture; They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.

Mic 2:13 The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head.”

Zep 3:15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.

Zep 3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.

Zep 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

These are just a few examples of scriptures which show us that the Father comes to earth before the Day of the Lord. There are also scriptures that show that the Father comes to earth before Christ.

The Father is here pictured sitting on His throne.

Dan 7:9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;

Here we see a time setting of the coming of the Father, the horn is at war against the saints and He is prevailing against them {the martyrdom of saints}. The Father comes to earth at this time.

Dan 7:21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,

Dan 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

Christ comes in the clouds and then He is brought before the Father. This verse indicates that the Father is already on earth, at Christ’s return.

Dan 7:13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.

Here we see the Father on earth.

Zec 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.

This scripture says that God the Father comes with the saints. Now this is referring to the saints which are dead at this point, for example Moses, Abraham etc. God the Father returns with the resurrected saints.

Christ returns with the angels, note this carefully, read these two scriptures over again until you see what it is saying. God the Father returns with the resurrected Saints, Christ returns with the angels. Get that point clearly in your mind. This is new knowledge for the end time people of God.

Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

This scripture explains the dead in Christ in the above scripture Zech. 14 v 5 come with the Father, they rise first. Refer to the above scripture Daniel 7 v 13, and confirm that Christ on His return meets the Father in the clouds. The Father has with Him the saints, and Christ has with Him the angels. Now comes the change to spirit of the saints which are alive at Christ coming.

1Th 4:16 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.

1Th 4:17 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.

1Th 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Mat 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

This is incredible new knowledge from God. Let’s go over these amazing facts again so that we have them clearly in our minds.

God the Father returns with the saints who are dead at the present time, like Moses, Abraham etc. they will be alive and resurrected and with the Father when He comes. This is during the time of the martyrdom.

Christ returns with the angels. This is at the end of the 7th seal. Christ comes to the Father in the clouds. The saints who are alive are changed to spirit and are gathered by the angels and taken up to the clouds to be with Christ and the Father, and the previously resurrected saints {as we know the dead in Christ rise first}.

The above events are now reconfirmed with the following scriptures, read these in your own Bible, over and over until you really understand what God is telling us now in these verses. But first look at this amazing new knowledge from God.

The dead saints are resurrected first, now understand that there is a gap of time between when the dead saints are resurrected and when the saints which are alive are changed to spirit. Notice the following on this subject.

Dan 7 v 21-22 above states that the Father returns to earth during the martyrdom of saints. We have already shown He brings with Him the resurrected saints {who are dead at the present time}.

The Father comes with the resurrected saints. He is involved along with these saints with events on earth e.g. the Day of the Lord. There is time between the two resurrections of live and dead saints. At the last trump the Father, along with the already resurrected saints, meet Christ in the air, Christ has the angels with Him. The angels gather the elect from the 4 corners of the earth.

When the Father comes with King David one of the duties He will perform is the gathering of Israel and Judah from captivity and bringing them back to their own land.

This amazing scripture shows the captive nation of Israel being led out by David {their King} and The Father Himself at the head.

Mic 2:13 The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head.”

Zep 3:15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.

Zep 3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.

Zep 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

David, the King and the Lord are in the midst of Israel.

Jer 30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, And David their king, Whom I will raise up for them.

Notice this amazing scripture, here again is proof that the Father Himself is going to bring Israel from their captivity. This is fantastic knowledge for the end time church, we have not known this before now.

Eze 34:11 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.

Eze 34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

Here is another verse confirming that David is involved with the Nation of Israel, he not only goes with the Father to free them from captivity, he is their King once they return to their homeland, Israel. God absolutely loves and trusts David, he is a man after God’s own heart.

Eze 34:23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

Once Israel is delivered from their captivity, they will make their way back to Israel, under the direct leadership of the Father and David, once they are there, they demonstrate an attitude of true repentance and total remorse over their past ways and attitudes, God is going to entrust to them a fabulous project, the building of the temple in Jerusalem.

Eze 40:4 And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.”

God’s end time messenger is shown the temple and the plans are to be shown to Israel.

Eze 43:7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.

The temple is where the Father says He will dwell forever, with Israel.

Again the Father confirms that He will live with Israel forever, and that David will be their King.

Eze 37:24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them.

Eze 37:25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever.

Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore.

Eze 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Eze 37:28 The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”

God says that if the Israelites change from their ways, God will show them the plans of the temple. David was not allowed to build the original temple, but he will build this one with the Israelites he leads back from captivity.

Eze 43:10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

Eze 43:11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and perform them.

Eze 43:12 This is the law of the temple: The whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.

The understanding of the scriptures will happen in the end time for God’s end time people, this is new knowledge for us.

Jer 30:24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until He has done it, And until He has performed the intents of His heart. In the latter days you will consider it.

This scripture shows plainly that the Father brings Israel out of captivity.

Jer 31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child And the one who labors with child, together; A great throng shall return there.

Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.

Remember there is a time gap between when the Father returns with the saints during the martyrdom and when Christ returns at the end of the 7th seal. The Father will be heavily involved, along with the resurrected saints, with the world shattering events which will be happening on earth at that time.

Now back to the above 4 points and these scriptures which confirm them.

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

2Th 1:7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

Rev 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.

Rev 19:12 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.

Rev 19:13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

Rev 19:14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Rev 19:15 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.

Rev 19:16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

1Th 4:17 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.

Mar 13:27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

This is fantastic new knowledge about these events. We have never known about the Father coming to earth at this time. We have always thought these events were about Christ. But a careful study of the scriptures and a belief in God will reveal the truth about these times. God wants His end time people to know the truth about these soon coming days.

WHAT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME FOR MANKIND?

Mankind will be made to see that their sin only leads to misery, death, disease, and hardship. They will learn a hard lesson. They will learn that God’s way is best for them and their future, this is the only way to live. They will have a bitter pill to swallow but they will learn that God’s ways are right and bring happiness and joy. There is a correct way to live and correct attitudes to demonstrate, they also must learn to love and believe God. God knows what is best for mankind and He will bring this about. Eventually man will learn this lesson, once God’s laws and ways are kept by mankind, the earth will be a happy productive, enjoyable loving place to live. God’s ways are just and right, man has to learn to believe and obey God, they have to trust Him and realise He is the creator, He is all knowing.

The following scriptures give a glimpse of how wonderful the world will be under the rule of God and His saints. God’s laws will be kept, His judgements will be in place, and people will be happy to obey these laws. Happiness will abound and man will at last understand that obedience to God is the only way which will bring lasting joy, meaningful relationships, and abundant love and peace.

The above scriptures portray a vastly different world than the one we live in now. Once mankind learns the harsh lessons of their sins and they change from the way of greed and get, then this world will be a different place, under the rule of God, Christ, and the saints. This will be a great place to live, and even though there are terrible times just ahead of us, after these terrible days will come the rule of peace, love and harmony. So we long for and eagerly await the return of Jesus and the coming of the Father, so that the earth and mankind will at last find true peace and happiness.
