THE LAST GREAT DAY

GREAT DAY MORNING SERVICE THE LAST
GREAT DAY MORNING SERVICE Last Great
Day………RESURRECTION TO SPIRIT. What we need
to notice is that the Last Great Day is separate from
the Feast. That is because the Feast pictures a
temporary state, the Last Great Day, pictures a
permanent state of being a spirit being. Therefore
where we have been in our booths each day during the
Feast, we do not sit in our booths during the Last
Great Day, in fact it should have been dismantled
yesterday before sunset before the start of the Last
Great Day. Lev 23:40 And you
shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit
of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the
boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and
you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven
days. Notice that
we dwell in booths for just the seven days of the
Feast. Lev 23:42 You shall
dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native
Israelites shall dwell in booths, Notice that
the Last Great Day is the day of resurrection to
spirit, not to flesh, so it will happen at different
times to different people. Joh 6:39 This is the will of the Father
who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last
day. Again notice
that the scripture is talking about eternal life, so
it is a resurrection to spirit. Joh 6:40 And this is the will of Him who
sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I
will raise him up at the last day.” Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the
Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him
up at the last day. Again
understanding the correct day for keeping the Passover
is required for eternal life. Joh 6:54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks
My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up
at the last day. The Last
Great Day is also a time of judgment, notice the
Father comes with His reward. Isa 40:10 Behold,
the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, And His
arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with
Him, And His work before Him. 1Co 3:8 Now he who
plants and he who waters are one, and each one will
receive his own reward according to his own labor. Once the
Father gives us the Holy Spirit of power, we have
eternal life inherent. So when the Father returns He
has rewards with Him. These
rewards are in accordance with our works, these
rewards are positions in the kingdom. Mat 20:23 So He said
to them, “You will indeed
drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right
hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is
for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” Notice that
before the day of the Lord, the Father gives rewards
to the saints, prophets and others, so this will be a
wonderful time. Rev 11:18 The
nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the
time of the dead, that they should be judged, And
that You should reward Your servants the prophets
and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small
and great, And should destroy those who destroy the
earth.” The
firstfruits are rewarded at the time of the return of
the Father. The other saints are rewarded by Christ at
His return. Notice we
are rewarded according to our works, so our reward
would be our position in the kingdom according to our
works. 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. Rev 22:12 “And behold, I am coming
quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to
every one according to his work. Psa 84:10 For a day
in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than
dwell in the tents of wickedness. Let’s notice
what Jesus spoke about on the Last Great Day the
following is a service at the start of the Last Great
Day. One of the
conditions for receiving the Holy Spirit of power was
to believe. Joh 7:37 On the
last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried out, saying, “If
anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Joh 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the
Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water.” The earnest
of the Spirit had been given to the disciples, but now
they waited for the Spirit of power to be given at
Pentecost. Joh 7:39 But this
He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing
in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not
yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Joh 7:40 Therefore
many from the crowd, when they heard this saying,
said, “Truly this is the Prophet.” Joh 7:41 Others
said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the
Christ come out of Galilee? Joh 7:42 Has not
the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the
seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where
David was?” Joh 7:43 So there
was a division among the people because of Him. Joh 7:44 Now some
of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on
Him. Joh 7:45 Then the
officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees,
who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?” Joh 7:46 The officers
answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” Joh 7:47 Then the
Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? Joh 7:48 Have any
of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? Joh 7:49 But this
crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” Joh 7:50 Nicodemus
(he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them)
said to them, Joh 7:51 “Does our
law judge a man before it hears him and knows what
he is doing?” Joh 7:52 They
answered and said to him, “Are you also from
Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen
out of Galilee.” Joh 7:53 And
everyone went to his own house. Let’s notice
some of the other scriptures Christ taught regarding
this time. Mat 22:29 Jesus
answered and said to them, “You
are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the
power of God. Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they
neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are
like angels of God in heaven. Mat 22:31 But concerning the resurrection
of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to
you by God, saying, This next
verse can be a little hard to understand, but verse 31
explains, it is referring to the time that Abraham
Isaac and Jacob are resurrected. Mat 22:32 ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE
GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’ ? God is not
the God of the dead, but of the living.” Luk 20:36 nor can they die anymore, for
they are equal to the angels and are sons of God,
being sons of the resurrection. Again
showing it is a time of judgment. Joh 5:29 and come forth those who have
done good, to the resurrection of life, and those
who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation. Jud 1:6 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; Heb 9:27 And as it
is appointed for men to die once, but after this the
judgment, 2Co 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. Joh 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not
receive My words, has that which judges him the
word that I have spoken will judge him in the last
day. 2Pe 3:7 But the
heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the
same word, are reserved for fire until the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men. Joh 11:24 Martha
said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.” Joh 11:25 Jesus said
to her, “I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me,
though he may die, he shall live. Act 24:15 I have
hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that
there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of
the just and the unjust. The
following scriptures refer to the resurrection to
spirit. 1Co 15:42 So also is
the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in
corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 1Co 15:43 It is sown
in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in
weakness, it is raised in power. 1Co 15:44 It is sown
a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There
is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1Co 15:45 And so it
is written, “THE FIRST MAN ADAM BECAME A LIVING
BEING.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 1Co 15:46 However,
the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and
afterward the spiritual. 1Co 15:47 The first
man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man
is the Lord from heaven. 1Co 15:48 As was the
man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust;
and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who
are heavenly. 1Co 15:49 And as we
have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall
also bear the image of the heavenly Man. 1Co 15:50 Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit
incorruption. 1Co 15:51 Behold, I
tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed 1Co 15:52 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. 1Co 15:53 For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality. 1Co 15:54 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.” 1Co 15:55 “O DEATH,
WHERE IS YOUR STING? O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR
VICTORY?” 1Co 15:56 The sting
of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 1Co 15:57 But thanks
be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ. 1Co 15:58 Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your
labor is not in vain in the Lord. Php 3:11 if, by any
means, I may attain to the resurrection from the
dead. Php 3:12 Not that I
have already attained, or am already perfected; but
I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which
Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Rev 20:6 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. We have
clearly shown that the Last Great Day is a
resurrection to spirit, a judgment day and a day of
receiving a reward. THE LAST
GREAT DAY SECOND SERVICE The
following article shows a contrast of two groups of
people. When Christ
spoke on the Last Great Day, He gave a clear contrast
between two groups of people. The first
group are those who are God’s people, they love God,
obey Him, believe Him, hear His voice, understand His
words, they are called and will be resurrected on the
Last Great Day TO SPIRIT. Joh 6:40 And this is the will of Him who
sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I
will raise him up at the last day.” The second
group, are those who are not called at this time, have
no understanding of God’s word, do not believe Him, or
obey Him, or hear His voice. They will be resurrected
to physical life, and God’s ways will be given to them
and the Last Great Day will come to them later, when
they are resurrected to eternal life, when they have
understanding of, and obey all of God’s holy days.
THIS RESURRECTION TO PHYSICAL LIFE IS NOT THE Last
Great Day FOR THEM AT THIS TIME. THEIR Last Great Day
WILL COME LATER. Joh 8:43 Why do you not understand My
speech? Because you are not able to listen to My
word. Joh 8:47 He who is of God hears God’s
words; therefore you do not hear, because you are
not of God.” The
following scripture maybe a night service at the
beginning of the Last Great Day. Joh 7:37 On the
last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried out, saying, “If
anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Joh 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the
Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water.” When the
service was over, the people went to their homes. Joh 7:53 And
everyone went to his own house. Then on the
next morning, either the Holy Day of the Last Great
Day, or the day following the holy day was the
sabbath: Joh 8:2 Now early
in the morning He came again into the temple, and
all the people came to Him; and He sat down and
taught them. Joh 8:3 Then the
scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught
in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, Joh 8:4 they said
to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery,
in the very act. Joh 8:5 Now Moses,
in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned.
But what do You say?” Joh 8:6 This they
said, testing Him, that they might have something of
which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and
wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He
did not hear. Joh 8:7 So when
they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and
said to them, “He who is
without sin among you, let him throw a stone at
her first.” Joh 8:8 And again
He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Joh 8:9 Then those
who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,
went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even
to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman
standing in the midst. Joh 8:10 When Jesus
had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman,
He said to her, “Woman,
where are those accusers of yours? Has no one
condemned you?” Joh 8:11 She said,
“No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go
and sin no more.” What Christ
wrote may well have been the Ten Commandments, these
were written in stone, and there was no mercy given to
those who did not keep the law. The original
Ten Commandments were written twice by the Father,
Christ wrote in the sand twice. The Commandments were
written by the finger of God, Christ wrote with His
finger in the sand. Deu 5:9 you shall
not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD
your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children to the third and
fourth generations of those who hate Me, Deu 5:10 but
showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and
keep My commandments. However,
Christ wrote in the ground, a softer surface, Christ
added mercy to the law. The
following verses show that the Pharisees did not know
who Jesus or the Father were. Christ was
showing that the fundamental knowledge of the Father
is required for us to have eternal life, if we are
resurrected to spirit on the Last Great Day, we must
have the end time knowledge of the Father and Christ. Joh 8:12 Then Jesus
spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He
who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but
have the light of life.” Joh 8:13 The
Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness
of Yourself; Your witness is not true.” Joh 8:14 Jesus
answered and said to them, “Even
if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true,
for I know where I came from and where I am going;
but you do not know where I come from and where I
am going. Joh 8:15 You judge according to the
flesh; I judge no one. It is the
Father’s judgment, but Christ and the Father judge
together. Joh 8:16 And yet if I do judge, My
judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am
with the Father who sent Me. Joh 8:17 It is also written in your law
that the testimony of two men is true. Joh 8:18 I am One who bears witness of
Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness
of Me.” Joh 8:19 Then they
said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered,
“You know neither Me nor My
Father. If you had known Me, you would have known
My Father also.” Joh 8:20 These
words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in
the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His
hour had not yet come. Joh 8:21 Then Jesus
said to them again, “I am
going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in
your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” Joh 8:22 So the
Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says,
‘Where I go you cannot come’?” Joh 8:23 And He
said to them, “You are from
beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I
am not of this world. We must
believe that Christ is God. Joh 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you
will die in your sins; for if you do not believe
that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Joh 8:25 Then they
said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them,
“Just what I have been
saying to you from the beginning. Joh 8:26 I have many things to say and to
judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true;
and I speak to the world those things which I
heard from Him.” Joh 8:27 They did
not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. Christ told
them that they would not understand who He was until
He had died. Joh 8:28 Then Jesus said to them, “When
you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know
that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but
as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. Joh 8:29 And He who sent Me is with Me.
The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do
those things that please Him.” Joh 8:30 As He
spoke these words, many believed in Him. Notice now,
that many believed Christ. Joh 8:31 Then Jesus
said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you
are My disciples indeed. The
following verses show that the Last Great Day, is a
resurrection of those who believe God, know God, and
who believe that Christ will make them free from sin,
who understand the words of God, and who love the
words of God in their life. There is a
contrast being made here between those who do believe
God and those who simply do not. Those who at
this time simply do not believe God, will have their
Last Great Day later, at a point in time after their
resurrection to physical life and after they believe
God and prove to be faithful to the word of God. The
holy days, will apply to them at that point in their
life, they will come to the understanding of the holy
days later, as we in God’s church are coming to that
understanding now, at this point in our lives. The Last
Great Day pictures the resurrection to spirit to those
who are faithful members of God’s church, who believe
and obey God. We can see the contrast between the two
in the following verses. Joh 8:33 They
answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and
have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You
say, ‘You will be made free’?” Joh 8:34 Jesus
answered them, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a
slave of sin. Notice that
God’s words have no place in these people. Joh 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you
free, you shall be free indeed. Joh 8:37 “I know that you are Abraham’s
descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My
word has no place in you. The father
of these people is the devil. Joh 8:38 I speak what I have seen with My
Father, and you do what you have seen with your
father.” These people
wanted to kill Jesus, even though He told them the
truth. Joh 8:39 They
answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you
were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of
Abraham. Joh 8:40 But now you seek to kill Me, a
Man who has told you the truth which I heard from
God. Abraham did not do this. Joh 8:41 You do the deeds of your
father.” Then they said to Him, “We were
not born of fornication; we have one Father God.” Again we see
that these people did not love God. Another sign to
show they did not belong to the Father. Joh 8:42 Jesus said
to them, “If God were your
Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth
and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but
He sent Me. They do not
understand God’s words, because they just simply can’t
hear them. Joh 8:43 Why do you not understand My
speech? Because you are not able to listen to My
word. Joh 8:44 You are of your father the
devil, and the desires of your father you want to
do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does
not stand in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his
own resources, for he is a liar and the father of
it. Joh 8:45 But because I tell the truth,
you do not believe Me. Joh 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin?
And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe
Me? Joh 8:47 He who is of God hears God’s
words; therefore you do not hear, because you are
not of God.” Joh 8:48 Then the
Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say
rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Joh 8:49 Jesus
answered, “I do not have a
demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. We must keep
God’s words. This will lead to eternal life. Notice how
the group with no understanding, have no concept of
what Christ is saying to them. Joh 8:51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if
anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.” Joh 8:52 Then the
Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a
demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You
say, ‘If anyone keeps My
word he shall never taste death.’ Joh 8:53 Are You
greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And
the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out
to be?” Joh 8:54 Jesus
answered, “If I honor
Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who
honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Joh 8:55 Yet you have not known Him, but
I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I
shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and
keep His word. Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Joh 8:57 Then the
Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old,
and have You seen Abraham?” Christ here
is saying, to those who can understand and hear His
voice, that He {Christ} existed before Abraham. How
simple is the truth, when we have ears to hear. Joh 8:58 Jesus said
to them, “Most assuredly, I
say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Joh 8:59 Then they
took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid
Himself and went out of the temple, going through
the midst of them, and so passed by. The
following scriptures show that the Last Great Day is a
resurrection of God’s people, to spirit. Joh 6:39 This is the will of the Father
who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last
day. Joh 6:40 And this is the will of Him who
sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I
will raise him up at the last day.” Joh 6:41 The Jews
then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down
from heaven.” Joh 6:42 And they
said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? How is it then that He
says, ‘I have come down
from heaven’?” Joh 6:43 Jesus
therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the
Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him
up at the last day. Joh 11:24 Martha
said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.” Joh 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not
receive My words, has that which judges him the
word that I have spoken will judge him in the last
day. The Feast of
Tabernacles pictures the temporary dwelling in booths
during the time in the wilderness for the nation of
Israel. Today it
pictures us living in a temporary dwelling of a
physical human body, and the spiritual journey after
receiving the earnest of the Spirit. The Last
Great Day pictures the resurrection to spirit. When the law
of Moses was given it was written on tablets of stone
and there was no mercy given for breaking the law. When Christ
spoke to the Pharisees in the above account about the
woman taken in adultery, He wrote in sand {possibly
the Ten Commandments} and this He did twice, just as
the tablets were written twice, and they now have
mercy, because under the law of Moses the woman would
have been stoned, but Jesus did not condemn her, but
told her to go and sin no more. The Last
Great Day pictures the resurrection to spirit: this
will mean judgment. This is a serious time. Joh 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not
receive My words, has that which judges him the
word that I have spoken will judge him in the last
day. THE LAST
GREAT DAY IS ALSO A DAY OF JUDGMENT. Notice that
this is also the time when the unfaithful angels will
also be judged. Jud 1:6 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; We know from
the following scripture that we will judge angels. 1Co 6:3 Do you not
know that we shall judge angels? How much more,
things that pertain to this life? Heb 9:27 And as it
is appointed for men to die once, but after this the
judgment, Notice that
judgment is given to the saints. 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. Mat 11:22 But I say to you, it will be
more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of
judgment than for you. Dan 7:10 A fiery
stream issued And came forth from before Him. A
thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand
times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was
seated, And the books were opened. WHO WILL BE
JUDGED? Those that
are to be judged in the future are: The saints,
who are the firstfruits, live and dead. Church
members live and dead. Angels. Evil Sons of
God. The Devil
and his angels. Great
multitude which comes out of tribulation. Bulk of
mankind. THE
FIRSTFRUITS While the
firstfruits are living their mortal lives, they are
judged during that time, how they live their lives
what is in their heart. They have the Spirit of Power
and what they do with it, what motivates them, their
love, faith, mercy, obedience, belief, knowledge and
attitude. 1Pe 4:17 For the
time has come for judgment to begin at the house of
God; and if it begins with us first, what will be
the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? The
following scriptures back this up, because when the
Father returns, the saints are with Him, these are the
firstfruits. Deu 33:2 And he
said: “The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them
from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He
came with ten thousands of saints; From His right
hand Came a fiery law for them. 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. When the
saints return with the Father they begin to judge. 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. Psa 149:9 To execute
on them the written judgment This honor have all His
saints. Praise the LORD! CHURCH
MEMBERS LIVE AND DEAD The church
members who are not firstfruits will be judged at the
return of Christ, He comes back with His angels and
judges. If we read
all of Matt. 25 we will see that the first two
parables refer to church members. Firstly the virgins
with the oil, and secondly those with the talents.
Therefore the following verses apply to members at the
judgment when Christ returns, some have been fruitful
and obedient, and receive eternal life. Some have done
nothing and have been unprofitable, and are given
everlasting punishment. That is
because they had been given the Holy Spirit of power
and did nothing with it. We must continue to grow and
overcome. You cannot get punished with eternal death
unless you have been given the Holy Spirit of power. Mat 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in
His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then
He will sit on the throne of His glory. Mat 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. Mat 25:33 And He will set the sheep on His
right hand, but the goats on the left. Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those
on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world: Mat 25:35 for I was hungry and you gave Me
food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a
stranger and you took Me in; Mat 25:36 I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and
you came to Me.’ Mat 25:37 “Then the righteous will answer
Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and
feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? Mat 25:38 When did we see You a stranger
and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Mat 25:39 Or when did we see You sick, or
in prison, and come to You?’ Mat 25:40 And the King will answer and say
to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you
did it to one of the least of these My brethren,
you did it to Me.’ Mat 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: Mat 25:42 for I was hungry and you gave Me
no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; Mat 25:43 I was a stranger and you did not
take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick
and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ Mat 25:44 “Then they also will answer Him,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or
thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
prison, and did not minister to You?’ Mat 25:45 Then He will answer them,
saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you
did not do it to one of the least of these, you
did not do it to Me.’ Mat 25:46 And these will go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into
eternal life.” ANGELS THAT
SINNED The angels
are judged by the saints, this is referring to those
who left their first estate and sinned. 1Co 6:3 Do you not
know that we shall judge angels? How much more,
things that pertain to this life? They are to
be judged on the Last Great Day. Jud 1:6 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; 2Pe 2:4 For if God
did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them
down to hell and delivered them into chains of
darkness, to be reserved for judgment; Rev 12:9 So the
great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old,
called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole
world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him. EVIL SONS OF
GOD These are
judged already. The
following verse shows that the dragon drew some of the
Sons of God, to himself, they therefore sinned, and
became the evil God seed, the evil Sons of God. Rev 12:4 His tail
drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them
to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman
who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as
soon as it was born. The evil
sons of God masquerade as church members, but they are
in fact the devil’s seed. Jud 1:10 But these
speak evil of whatever they do not know; and
whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in
these things they corrupt themselves. Jud 1:11 Woe to
them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have
run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and
perished in the rebellion of Korah. Jud 1:12 These are
spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you
without fear, serving only themselves. They are
clouds without water, carried about by the winds;
late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled
up by the roots; Jud 1:13 raging
waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame;
wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness
of darkness forever. 2Pe 2:12 But these,
like natural brute beasts made to be caught and
destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not
understand, and will utterly perish in their own
corruption, 2Pe 2:13 and will
receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who
count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They
are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own
deceptions while they feast with you, 2Pe 2:14 having
eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from
sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart
trained in covetous practices, and are accursed
children. 2Pe 2:15 They have
forsaken the right way and gone astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the
wages of unrighteousness; 2Pe 2:16 but he was
rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking
with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the
prophet. 2Pe 2:17 These are
wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest,
for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness
forever. At the end
time the angels sort out the wicked from the just and
the wicked are cast into the fire. Mat 13:47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and
gathered some of every kind, Mat 13:48 which, when it was full, they
drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the
good into vessels, but threw the bad away. Mat 13:49 So it will be at the end of the
age. The angels will come forth, separate the
wicked from among the just, Mat 13:50 and cast them into the furnace
of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of
teeth.” Another
account of how the angels gather the wicked, notice
that in verse 38 it is shown that the tares are the
children of the wicked one. Mat 13:38 The field
is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the
kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked
one. Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the
devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the
reapers are the angels. Mat 13:40 Therefore as the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at
the end of this age. Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send out His
angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom
all things that offend, and those who practice
lawlessness, Mat 13:42 and will cast them into the
furnace of fire. There will be wailing and
gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear! DEVIL AND
HIS ANGELS These are
already judged. Mat 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: 1Ti 3:6 not a
novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into
the same condemnation as the devil. 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. GREAT
MULTITUDE WHICH COME OUT OF TRIBULATION These are
the Israelites which have repented during the time of
Jacob’s trouble. The other
nations are those which have joined with them, the
white robes is a symbol of righteousness. Rev 7:9 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, Notice the
other nations are mentioned. Isa 14:1 For the
LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose
Israel, and settle them in their own land. The
strangers will be joined with them, and they will
cling to the house of Jacob. Back to
Revelation. Rev 7:10 and crying
out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to
our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Rev 7:11 All the
angels stood around the throne and the elders and
the four living creatures, and fell on their faces
before the throne and worshiped God, Rev 7:12 saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving
and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever
and ever. Amen.” Rev 7:13 Then one
of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these
arrayed in white robes, and where did they come
from?” Israel
repents during the captivity after Jacob’s trouble. Rev 7:14 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. Rev 7:15 Therefore
they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day
and night in His temple. And He who sits on the
throne will dwell among them. Rev 7:16 They shall
neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun
shall not strike them, nor any heat; They are not
spirit beings at this point, because Jesus will lead
them to living fountains of water, which is a symbol
for eternal life. Rev 7:17 for the
Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd
them and lead them to living fountains of waters.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” The above
scriptures show clearly that the Last Great Day is a
resurrection of the saints and also a judgment day, in
which the saints will play a very serious role. IT IS ALSO A
TIME TO RECEIVE A REWARD Isa 40:10 Behold,
the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, And His
arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with
Him, And His work before Him. Mat 5:12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in heaven, for so they
persecuted the prophets who were before you. Mat 10:41 He who receives a prophet in the
name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s
reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the
name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man’s reward. 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. Luk 6:35 But love your enemies, do good,
and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your
reward will be great, and you will be sons of the
Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and
evil. Col 3:24 knowing
that from the Lord you will receive the reward of
the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Col 3:25 But he who
does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and
there is no partiality. Rev 11:18 The
nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the
time of the dead, that they should be judged, And
that You should reward Your servants the prophets
and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small
and great, And should destroy those who destroy the
earth.” Rev 22:12 “And behold, I am coming
quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to
every one according to his work. |
