Have you
thought that the battle of Armageddon was a single battle? Putting
together the OT and the NT we can see that it is not a single battle but a
major campaign
Rev
11:14 The second
woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly. 15 And the seventh
angel sounded; and there arose loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom
of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He
will reign forever and ever." 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on
their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17
saying, "We give Thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who
wast, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and hast begun to reign. 18
"And the nations were enraged, and Thy wrath came, and the time came for
the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to Thy
bond-servants the prophets and to the saints and to those who fear Thy
name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the
earth."
This campaign of Armageddon
is when God destroys those who destroy the earth. All of this begins at
the 7th Trumpet which
leads to the 7 Bowls, remembering that the 7th Trumpet is the beginning of
the Day of the Lord.
And this we determined by a process of elimination, looking simply at what
God's Word said about the Day of the Lord. What has to happen before the
Day of the Lord: An apostasy, the man of lawlessness revealed
(which happens at the 7th Trumpet, when he takes his seat in the Holy
Place and declares himself to be ''god''.)
Rev
12:7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging
war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they
were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in
heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is
called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown
down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Right now
the Devil has access to heaven but at the time of this war in heaven he is
kicked out of heaven and thrown down to earth.
Rev
12:10 And I heard a
loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power,
and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for
the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before
our God day and night.
So
salvation & power & Kingdom of our God come when the Devil is thrown to
earth.
Rev
12:13 And when the
dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman
(Israel) who gave birth to the male child. (So when the man of lawlessness
is revealed, he persecutes Israel, all of this beginning at the 7th
Trumpet.) 14 And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman,
in order that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she
was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of
the serpent. 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth
after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the
flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth
and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17 And
the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the
rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the
testimony of Jesus.
Man of
lawlessness revealed >
Day of Lord begins (2 Thes 2) >
he persecutes Israel >
Israel flees into wilderness
Dragon sends a literal flood
but the earth opens up to protect her from the flood
she is in the wilderness (her place) for 3 1/2 years.
Matt
24:15 "Therefore
when you see the
abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the
prophet, (Dan 7, Dan 12) standing in the holy place (The Holy of Holies
in the Temple which has to exist at this time--they are preparing even now
to rebuild the Temple) (let the reader understand), 16
then let those who are
in Judea flee to the mountains; 17 let him who is on the housetop not go
down to get the things out that are in his house; 18 and let him who is in
the field not turn back to get his cloak. 19 "But woe to those who are
with child and to those who nurse babes in those days! 20 "But pray that
your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath; 21
for then there will be a
great tribulation,
such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor
ever shall. 22 "And unless those days had been cut short, no life
would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be
cut short. 23 "Then
if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do
not believe him...26 "If therefore they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the
wilderness,' do not go forth, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do
not believe them. 27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east, and
flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. 28
"Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. 29 "But
immediately after the tribulation of those days the
sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not
give its light, and the stars
will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken, 30
and then the sign of the Son of
Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the
earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of
the sky with power and great glory.
So when the Abomination of
Desolation stands in the Holy Place the Jews in Israel are to FLEE and Kay
thinks they will flee south into Edom to
Petra carved in the
mountain stone. There is a single entrance that allows only one rider at a
time to pass through. Kay believes that when the man of lawlessness stands
in the Holy Place those in Jerusalem will see and will flee to the
wilderness for time, times and 1/2 time. But the Dragon is angry and goes
off to make war against ''the rest of her offspring, who keep the
commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.'' Where did these
''offspring'' come
from? What has been happening the first 3 1/2 years? Two witnesses have
been on earth preaching until they are put to death at the beginning of
the 7th Trumpet. We also see the Temple in Rev 11:1-2.
But what else has to come before the Day of the Lord? Elijah has to come.
Malachi
4:5 "Behold, I am
going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
terrible day of the Lord.
6 "And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and
the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the
land with a curse."
One of the
witnesses in Rev 11
might be Elijah and
that Moses is the 2nd
witness bc he was on the mount of transfiguration and turned water into
blood, etc. Others believe the 2nd witness is
Enoch because he
prophesied about this time in Jude warning all the ungodly to flee and
part from their ungodly deeds and he taught about the judgment of God to
come. And some say that since Elijah and Enoch both did not die and it is
appointed to man once to die (Heb 9:27), but instead were caught up into
heaven. In addition you have 144,000 that could be witnessing and we know
that when the Day of the Lord begins, the 144,000 are in heaven. So it
seems that from the 1ST Seal to the 7TH
Trumpet which may be 3 1/2 years length, there are 2 witnesses and
144,000 Jews sealed after the 6TH Seal also witnessing.
They are ones who are the woman's
offspring and held to
the testimony of Jesus. But during all this witnessing, you have some who
will apostatize. Why? In Dan 9:24-27 Daniel describes a covenant
with
THE MANY, not with all of Israel. It could be that THE MANY
are those who apostatize, that are behind the beast (having appeared in
the 1ST Seal conquering and to conquer, being killed, then
being raised.) Why would they apostatize? It could be because the Beast,
the Antichrist, is resurrected from the dead many will ''believe''
in him. And he persecutes the woman Israel who flees to Edom.
What else has to happen before the Day of the Lord according to Joel?
Sun has to be
darkened and moon has
to be turned to blood, which occurs at the 6th Seal before the
great and terrible day of the Lord can come. There also have to be
wonders and signs (fire, blood and smoke) which happens from the 1st
to the 6th Trumpet. Then comes the Day of the Lord, a
day of Judgment, a day when Christ is going to take His reign, a day that
men have wondered about (when the
mystery of God is
finished, the mystery
being that if Jesus Christ is God and is to rule the face of the earth,
then why doesn't He come and do something now to all this iniquity. So now
the lines are clearly divided because this man has stood in the Temple of
God and said ''I am god and you will worship me.'' But meanwhile Jesus
Christ is sitting in the heavens and He is the only God.
In Rev 12
when the woman flees it is probably into Edom (modern day Jordan). In Rev
13 there is an overview of the Beast
THE
BEAST--THE ANTICHRIST
Rev
13:3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his
fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after
the beast; 4 and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority
to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the
beast, and who is able to wage
war with him?" 5 And there was given to
him a mouth speaking
arrogant words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two
months was given to him.
6 And he opened his
mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His
tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. (you see those on earth
who are worshiping the beast and those in heaven who worship the Lamb, so
the lines are drawn and the contest is clear...the beast against Almighty
God and against His Christ.) 7 And it was given to him to make war with
the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe and people
and tongue and nation was given to him. 7 And it was given to him to make
war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe
and people and tongue and nation was given to him. (the woman Israel has
fled and when the Dragon went off to make war with her offspring, we see a
DIRECT CONFLICT. Here we see the Beast ruling the entire earth, even as
Dan 7 had predicted.) 8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship him,
everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world
in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. 9 If anyone has an
ear, let him hear. (Listen carefully!)
The
other beast: the false prophet
Rev
13:13 And he
performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven
to the earth in the presence of men. (this is also what the 2 WITNESSES in
Rev 11 did...so there is contest of signs that God had performed, which
could certainly lead to a great deception)14 And he deceives those who
dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform
in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make
an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.
(Cp, 2 Thes 2:8-9 re ''signs & wonders'') They receive 666 in order to buy
or sell but they will never go to heaven but be thrown into the Lake of
Fire forever.
In Rev 14 we see the 144,000 in heaven in 14:1-5.
Rev
14:6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an
eternal gospel (See Mt
24:14"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole
world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.) to
preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and
tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give
Him glory, because the hour
of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made the heaven and the
earth and sea and springs of waters. (all that has been affected by the
Seal & Trumpet judgments) 8 (Remember that in these verses we are seeing
an OVERVIEW of the events to come in the last 31/2 years.) And
another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon
the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the
passion of her immorality." 9 And another angel, a third one, followed
them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his
image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he also
will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, ...
Rev
14:13 And I heard a
voice from heaven, saying, "Write,
'Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord from now on!'"(Anyone who dies in the Great
Tribulation during the last 3 1/2 years is blessed of the Lord because
they are getting out of there and God will raise them from the dead after
the 7th Bowl, blessed bc they did not take the mark, bc they did not sell
their soul to the enemy, because they persevered and did not love their
life to the death. If you want to be blessed then you don't bow your knee
to the enemy. You don't turn to the right or to the left but you are
willing to do all that God commands you. If you can't walk with the
footmen now, how are you going to keep up when the horses come? How are
you going to keep up when the going gets rougher?) blessed bc they are
going to sit upon thrones, blessed bc they are going to rule and reign
with Him) "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors,
for their deeds follow with them." 14 And I looked, and behold, a white
cloud, and sitting on the cloud [was] one like a son of man, having a
golden crown on His head, and a sharp sickle in His hand. 15 And another
angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat
on the cloud (Jesus) , “Put in your sickle and reap, because the hour to
reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” (THIS IS AN
OVERVIEW OF THE REAPING OF THE EARTH THAT IS TO COME)16 And He who sat on
the cloud swung His sickle over the earth; and the earth was reaped.17 And
another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a
sharp sickle.18 And another angel, the one who has power over fire, came
out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the
sharp sickle, saying, “Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters
from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.”19 And the angel
swung his sickle to the earth, and gathered the clusters from the vine of
the earth, and threw them into
the great wine press of the wrath of God.20 And the wine press
was trodden outside the city,
(outside Jerusalem separating it from the mount of Olives is the Valley
of Jehoshaphat. So this winepress is not going to be tread IN
Jerusalem but outside the city.) and blood came out from the wine press,
up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.
Rev 16
the Bowls are poured out and the 5th Bowl is poured out on the
Beast:
Rev
16:11 and they
blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and
they did not repent of their deeds. (THEY HAVE HEARD THE GOSPEL IN REV
14:6 for God is not willing that any should perish but these men do not
listen, even when they received these sores, even in the blackness of all
that God is judging on this kingdom, instead of repenting lift their fists
against God and do not repent.) 12 And the sixth angel poured out his bowl
upon the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the
way might be prepared for the kings from the east.13 And I saw coming out
of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of
the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;14 for
they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of
the whole world, to gather them
together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
(they are gathered at Megiddo…WATCH
FOR THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.) 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief.
Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, lest he walk
about naked and men see his shame.”)16 And they gathered them (THE KINGS
OF THE EARTH) together to the place which in Hebrew is called HarMagedon.
(THE VALLEY OF MEGIDDO which goes all the way down south to Jerusalem.)
ZECHARIAH 12
Zech
12:1 The burden of
the word of the Lord concerning Israel. Thus declares the Lord who
stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the
spirit of man within him,2 “Behold, I am going to make
Jerusalem a cup that causes
reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against
Jerusalem, it will also be
against Judah. (Judah is south of Jerusalem…so the nations will come not
just against Jerusalem but also against Judah) 3 “And it will come about
in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the
peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all
the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.(HAS
NEVER HAPPENED) 4 “In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will strike
every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness. But I will
watch over the house of Judah…5 “Then
the clans of Judah
will say in their hearts, ‘A strong support for us are the inhabitants of
Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts, their God.’
6 “In that day I will
make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming
torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the
left all the surrounding peoples,
while the inhabitants of
Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem.7 “The Lord also
will save the tents of Judah
first in order that the glory of the house of David and the
glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above
Judah.(Jerusalem is going to be a cup of reeling. These nations gathered
by the Antichrist are coming against Jerusalem to wipe it out, but God
says that He will protect the clans of Judah before Jerusalem…remembering
that Judah is SOUTH toward Edom.) 8 “In that day the Lord will
defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them
in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like
God, like the angel of the Lord before them.9 “And it will come about
in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come
against Jerusalem. 10 “And I
will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the Spirit of grace and of
supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and
they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep
bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born. (This goes
with Rev 1:7…So now we have a process, and at first see them gathered in
the valley of Megiddo, then coming towards Jerusalem, the tents of Judah
being saved first)
ZECHARIAH
14
Zech
14:1: Behold, a
day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you
will be divided among you. (among the Jews) 2 For I will gather all the
nations against Jerusalem to battle, and
the city will be
captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city
exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. (So
all the nations are gathered against Jerusalem but Babylon has yet to be
destroyed. In the 6th Bowl you have the gathering of the
nations to Armageddon. In the 7th Bowl you see the destruction
of Babylon)
THE FALL
OF BABYLON IN REVELATION 16:19
Rev 16:
17 And the seventh
angel poured out his bowl upon the air; and a loud voice came out of the
temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.”18 And there were flashes of
lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great
earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the
earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.19 And
the great city
(Jerusalem) was split into three parts, and
the cities of the nations fell.
And Babylon the great
was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce
wrath.20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Jerusalem split into 3, cities
of nations falling, and Babylon the Great remembered before God to be
destroyed by fire. The Beast and the 10 kings with him are behind this
destruction of Babylon but God is behind this destruction, having put it
in their hearts, even allowing the demons to go forth to gather all the
nations to bring them back to Megiddo. God is in charge.
Next
to Rev 16:19 put Jeremiah 50:46…you need to read both Jer 49-50.
Jer
50:46 At the shout,
“Babylon has been seized!” the earth is shaken, and an
outcry is heard among the nations. (So what you have as the nations are
being gathered against Jerusalem is another battle going on against
Babylon, a destruction by fire.)
CALL FOR THE JEWS TO COME OUT
Rev
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out
of her, (BABYLON) my people, (JEWS) that you may not participate in
her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues;
Jer
50:2 “Declare and proclaim among the nations. Proclaim it and lift
up a standard. Do not conceal it but say, ‘Babylon has been captured,…3
“For a nation has come up against her out of the north; it will make her
land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it. Both man
and beast have wandered off, they have gone away!4 “In those days and at that time,”
declares the Lord, “the sons of Israel will come, both they and the sons
of Judah as well; they will go along weeping as they go, and it will be
the Lord their God they will
seek. (All of this is going to cause Israel to start
seeking the Lord. So the Jews will come out of Babylon, not out of
Israel.) 5 “They will ask for the way to Zion, turning their faces in its
direction; they will come that they may join themselves to the Lord in an
everlasting covenant
that will not be forgotten….9 “For behold, I am going to arouse and bring
up against Babylon a horde of great nations from the land of the north,
and they will draw up their battle lines against her; from there she will
be taken captive. Their arrows will be like an expert warrior who does not
return empty-handed.….20 ‘In those days and at that time,’ declares the
Lord, ‘search will be made for the iniquity of Israel, but
there will be none; and for the sins of Judah, but they
will not be found; for I shall
pardon those whom I leave as a
remnant.’
So God has called His people to
come out of Babylon bc it is going to be destroyed and they will say ''Let
us return to Zion. Let's seek the Lord.'' The other nations with the kings
of this earth are gathered in the valley of Megiddo. The people from the
north have come down now against Babylon and Babylon is destroyed at the
7th Bowl. And there is a great earthquake. And the Jews
are coming out of that place.
BABYLON INTOXICATING ALL THE EARTH
Jer
51:5 For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken by his God,
the Lord of hosts, although their land is full of guilt before the Holy
One of Israel.6 Flee
from the midst of Babylon, (HE IS TALKING TO THE JEWS) and each of you
save his life! Do not be destroyed in her punishment, for this is the
Lord’s time of vengeance; He is going to render recompense to her. 7
Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, intoxicating all
the earth. (That is exactly what you read in Rev 17) The nations have
drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are going mad.8 Suddenly Babylon
has fallen and been broken; wail over her! (When Babylon was destroyed by
this fire and the kings see her smoke, they begin to wail because this was
a rich city and where they made their money.)
…9 We
applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed; forsake her and let us
each go to his own country, for her judgment has reached to heaven and
towers up to the very skies.10 The Lord has brought about our vindication;
come and let us recount in Zion
The work
of the Lord our God!
…45 “Come forth from her midst, My people, and each of you save yourselves
from the fierce anger of the Lord. 46 “Now lest your heart grow faint, and
you be afraid at the report that will be heard in the land—for the report
will come one year, and after that another report in another year, …50 You
who have escaped the sword, Depart! Do not stay! Remember the Lord from
afar, and let Jerusalem come to your mind.
1).
There is a battle in the Valley of Megiddo
2).
Another battle is going on in Babylon & it is being destroyed.
3). The
army in #1 moves down to Jerusalem
4).
Zech 14--Jerusalem will be captured, wives of Jews ravished, city
plundered
5).
Next…go to Rev 19.
Rev
19:2 because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has
judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality,
and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants on her.” 3 And a second
time they said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises up forever and ever.” (Xref
Jeremiah 51:25-26)
6).
Rebuilt Babylon will be desolate forever…
Jer
51:25 “Behold, I am
against you, O destroying
mountain, (BABYLON) who destroys the whole earth,” (REMEMBER:
Babylon has corrupted the whole earth) declares the Lord, “And I will
stretch out My hand against you, and roll you down from the crags and I
will make you a burnt out mountain.26 “And they will not take from you
even a stone for a corner nor a stone for foundations, but you will be
desolate forever,”
declares the Lord.
FAITHFUL & TRUE RETURNS
Rev
19:11 And I saw
heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called
Faithful and True;
and in righteousness He judges and wages war….13 And He is clothed with a
robe dipped in blood; and His name is called
The Word of God.14 And
the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
were following Him on white horses.15 And from His mouth comes a sharp
sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them
with a rod of iron; and He treads the
wine press of the fierce wrath of
God, the Almighty.
A
HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS FOR THE REDEEMED
Isaiah
34:5 For My sword is
satiated in heaven, behold it shall descend for judgment upon
Edom, and upon the
people whom I have devoted to destruction. 6 The sword of the Lord is
filled with blood, it is sated (filled) with fat, with the blood of lambs
and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a
sacrifice in
Bozrah
(major city in Edom) and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. (Remember
God said ''Jacob have I loved. Essau--Edom-- have I hated.'') 7 Wild oxen
shall also fall with them, and young bulls with strong ones; thus their
land shall be soaked with blood, (In Rev 14:20 the blood comes up
from the wine press for 200 miles…from Jerusalem to Edom is 200 MILES!)
….8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance, year of recompense for the cause
of Zion.
If we went
on to Isaiah 35 we would see that the Lord is coming and a HIGWAY OF
HOLINESS will be opened and the REDEEMED will walk there.
Isaiah
35:10 And the
ransomed of the Lord will return, and come with joyful shouting to Zion,
with everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
SUMMARY
OF EVENTS SURROUNDING HAR-MAGGEDON
1).
Gathering of the nations in the valley of Megiddo against Jerusalem
2).
Babylon is destroyed
3). These
armies in #1 go into Jerusalem & destroy it (but they know that there are
still a segment of Jews that they never got their
hands on
because they fled into the wilderness).
4). After
conquering Jerusalem, the Antichrist moves with his armies down towards
Edom to get those that he could not get before.
5). Where
does the Lord come?
Is 63:1
says Who is this who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors
from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the
greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to
save." He is coming in righteousness to judge and to make war but
first He comes to the clans of Judah, to the
woman who has been hiding in the wilderness.
6). As Christ comes down to
Edom, the antichrist's armies come down from Jerusalem toward Edom.
Christ marches straight through them going northward, His garments
being soaked with blood that comes us as high as the bridle on the horse
for 200 miles. He
makes a Highway of
holiness which the redeemed follow Him on in triumph.
7). Christ comes up to the
Valley of Jehoshaphat, the Valley of Decision, where the nations have been
gathered and He walks up to the Mount of Olives and stands on the Mount as
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND VERY GOD OF VERY GOD. And when He
does all the nations that are in the Valley of Jehoshaphat are judged by
Christ, Who separates the sheep from the goats. All of those who have not
received the MARK OF THE BEAST and have taken care of His brethren, the
Jews, will enter into His kingdom, but the goats who have not will be cast
directly, immediately into the Lake of Fire. Tune in next year for the
rest of the story describing this mighty battle that starts in Edom and
goes all the way up to ''multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of
Decision!''
That is what is coming THEN,
but right now there are also
''multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision!''
WHOM WILL YOU SERVE?
CHRISTIANS MAY LOOK LIKE THE UNDERDOG NOW
but absent from the body
present with the Lord. The next time you see us we will be coming on
white horses with the King of kings to rule and to reign with Him forever
and ever.
