-
Welcome to my live stream. It's good to be with
-
you today.
-
We're going to be tackling a very important topic that
-
will dispel any cunningly devised fables that have completely dispelled
-
any theological myths. There are so many out there that
-
affect those of us that have been born again. You
-
have to turn off their noise. You have to hearken
-
to the Word. It is the Word and the Word
-
alone that will explain to you everything that's going to happen.
-
And you can do one of two things once you
-
hear it. Once you're informed of what the Word says,
-
you can either accept it or reject it. So, with
-
that in mind, God bless everybody. Matthew Miller here from
-
Maranatha Ministries. Today we're talking about the last judgment.
-
There are two judgments.
-
The judgment seat of Christ is not the last judgment.
-
That's not the last judgment. Jesus Christ, at his judgment seats,
-
field-punts the wicked to the final judgment of God the Father.
-
That is the second resurrection. It is there where the
-
finality is introduced. I've shared this before. John chapter 5.
John 5 chapter mention
-
Plainly states this. The reason why there's. A resurrection of
-
the righteous. Jesus judges the righteous.
-
And rewards them. Everyone else gets. Field punted. To the
-
last judgment.
-
And God executes judgment. On them.
-
So. Like I said. There in the Greek. In John
John 5 chapter mention
-
chapter 5. You just.
-
Once again, you have to read the Word and accept it.
-
If you reject it, you will fall prey to theological myths.
-
Because what is being propagated out there in the church
-
buildings is this, cunningly devised fables that have nothing to do,
-
have no root in the Word. If they don't have
-
root in the Word, they don't have a root. So,
-
let's talk about this again. Revelation chapter 20 lines up
Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
perfectly with Ezekiel chapter 39. Not a little bit left
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
to the right.
-
They're saying the same thing, just reworded. So when you
-
go here and you realize.
-
That the first judgment, the first resurrection of the righteous
-
is executed at Christ's return.
-
At his return.
-
Okay? So starting with verse 4 in Revelation chapter 20.
Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
And I saw thrones, and they that sat on them,
-
and judgment was committed to them.
-
And I saw the souls.
-
Of those who had been beheaded for their witness in
-
Jesus and the word of God, who had not worshipped
-
the beast or his image, and had not received his
-
mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they
-
lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But
-
the rest of the dead did not live again, until
-
the thousand years were finished.
-
This is the first resurrection.
-
John chapter 5 plainly states that God the Father has
John 5 chapter mention
-
assigned the resurrection of life to Jesus. Jesus determines who
-
lives forever.
-
And who dies forever.
-
Those who die forever We'll wait till after his millennial reign.
-
But of course, the word lays this out. Verse six,
-
blessed and holy is he who has part of the
-
first resurrection over such the second death has no power,
-
but they shall be priest of God and Christ and
-
shall reign with him for a thousand years. So we've
-
encountered the first judgment. This is the judgment seat of Christ.
-
Now Christ is going to reign for a thousand years.
-
What happens after that reign? The Word plainly lays it
-
out for you so that those of you who have
-
been baptized in the Holy Spirit might know and understand
-
what's going to happen.
-
This is what God's intentions are. They're not what's coming
-
out of your pulpits. That's not the truth.
-
So, verse 7, Now when the thousand years have expired,
-
Satan will be released from his prison and go out
-
to deceive the nations which are at the four corners
-
of the earth, Gog and Magog. to gather them together
-
to battle, whose number is of the sand of the sea.
-
What happens to Gog and Magog? Revelation chapter 21, verse 9.
-
They went up on the breadth of the earth and
-
surrounded the camp of the saints in the beloved city,
-
and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. We
-
already knew this. How did we already know? Well, Ezekiel
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
chapter 39 tells us exactly. It told us first in
-
Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 6. So, Revelation chapter 20, verse
-
9 didn't make it up. No, it gets it from
-
this verse. Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 6. And I will
-
send fire on Magog and those who live in the
-
security of the coastlands.
-
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
-
Not left, not right. That's what's going to happen. So,
-
when you know that, when you flip over to the
-
next chapter, chapters Ezekiel 40 through 48, is giving you
-
the dimensions of of the temple which God will inhabit
-
for the final seven years, after the millennial reign of Christ,
-
after the second resurrection of the unrighteous. It says so,
-
Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 9, Then those who dwell in
-
the city of Israel will go out and set fire
-
and burn the weapons, both shields and bucklers, to bows
-
and arrows, javelins and spears, and they shall make fires
-
with them for seven years. if you just go down
-
and keep reading, you'll see how long that it takes
-
to bury these charred remains. So, the first seven months
-
of the final sabbatical seven years of this creation, the
-
first seven months is spent burying the bodies. Verse 12.
-
For seven months, the house of Israel will be burying
-
them in order to cleanse the land. Now, If you
-
keep going down in verse 21, this is where God
-
says he will set up in this temple that's described
-
in the next chapters. Like I said, Ezekiel 40 through
-
48 is describing where this is. This is the pillar
-
of the presence. In this instance, for seven years, Jesus
-
Christ will still be sitting on his throne in Jerusalem.
-
and God the Father, he says here that his pillar
-
of the presence will be in Ezekiel's temple. Yes, it does. Listen.
-
When it's delivered to you from the word, you have
-
two options. Reject it or accept it. If you don't
-
reject it, you're going to fall prey to cunningly devised
-
fables that are turned into theological myths. This is true.
-
Verse 21 of Ezekiel chapter 39. I will set my
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
glory among the nations, and all nations shall see my
-
judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I
-
have laid on them. This is the purpose of the
-
next chapter, Ezekiel chapter 40, beginning This series of chapters
Ezekiel 40 chapter mention
-
laying out the complexity of this new temple where God
-
the Father's glory is going to be for the last
-
seven years of this existence. Now, so when we go back,
-
let's go back to Revelation chapter 20 verse 9. Because
-
it's going to say this again. He's going to obliterate.
-
This is God the Father. Jesus Christ is not fighting
-
the battle of God. They went up on the breadth
-
of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints
-
in the beloved city. And fire came down from God
-
out of heaven and devoured them. This verse is derived
-
from Ezekiel chapter 39. I just read it to you. So,
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
what happens then? Verse 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. So, the
-
beast and the false prophet had already been in the
-
lake of fire for a thousand years. They'd already been
-
in this Lake Guyana for a thousand years. All these
-
things are true. So now let's get the details about
-
the last judgment that is seven years before God recreates
-
the heavens and the earth. Because for those last seven years,
-
after he does this last judgment, Ezekiel 39 says that
-
he will set up his glory in Ezekiel's temple. Revelation
-
chapter 20 verse 11. Then I saw a great white
-
throne in him who sat on it from whose face
-
the earth and heaven fled away. And there was found
-
no place for them. And I saw the dead, small
-
and great, standing before God. And the books were opened.
-
And another book was opened, which is the book of life.
-
And the dead were judged according to their works by
-
the things which were written in the books. The sea
-
gave up the dead and who were in it. And
-
death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them,
-
and they were judged each according to his works. Then
-
death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.
-
This is the second death, and anyone not found written
-
in the book of life was cast into the lake
-
of fire. So, we already learned from Ezekiel chapter 39,
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
that after this judgment is seven years where God sets
-
up his glory in Ezekiel's temple. What happens at the
-
end of that seven years? Turn the page. Revelation chapter 21.
Revelation 21 chapter mention
-
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
-
for the first heaven and first earth had passed away. Also,
-
there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the
-
holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
-
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I
-
heard a loud voice saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
-
is with men, and he will dwell with them, and
-
they shall be his people. God himself will be with
-
them and will be their God. God recreates the two dimensions.
-
And this time, he's not residing in the spiritual dimension.
-
This time, this just said, he's taking up his residence
-
in the material creation. This is what the word laid
-
out for you. This is what is going to happen.
-
This is what is the divine intention. The divine intention
-
cannot be altered, cannot be wavered from left and right.
-
If you do, you fall into all these cunningly devised
-
fables like all millennialism, like dispensationalism, like preterism. Those are
-
all theological myths. They're all theological myths. The word and
-
the word alone lays out for you the divine intention.
-
And it's the divine intention which will happen. So, the
-
last judgment has been so convoluted by these cunningly devised fables.
-
They've made up all kinds of fables like the judgment
-
scene of Christ is the last judgment. Yada, yada, yada.
-
And just they reject John chapter 5. They reject Ezekiel
John 5 chapter mention Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
chapter 39 through 48. They reject Revelation chapter 20, verse 21.
-
That's why you can only be one of two things.
-
You can be a Biblicist or a Rejectionist. Once you
-
reject the Word, you're going to fall prey to the
-
traditions of men. You're going to fall prey to Luther,
-
You're going to fall prey to Calvin. And the list
-
goes on and on and on and on. You're going
-
to fall prey to Darby. You're going to fall prey
-
to Schofield. The word and the word alone lays out
-
for you categorically the divine intention. So, Word of advice
-
for all of you that have been baptized in the
-
Holy Spirit. Be forewarned. The people that are in your
-
congregation that have not been born again are going to
-
make martyrs of you in the great apostasy. They're going
-
to do it. And I no longer have, I am
-
no longer issuing a call to repentance to these Christians
-
according to, well, they're not Christians. They're Christian in name only.
-
In that they continue to willfully sin. Hebrews chapter 10
-
verses 26 through 29 say, they trample the Son of
-
God underfoot. And have insulted the spirit of grace.
-
I have.
-
There's nothing I can do for them. It's pointless for
-
me to call them to repentance. The Holy Spirit has
-
redirected this mission. My message is warning you. Those who
-
have been born again. They're going to make a martyr
-
out of you. They will. So. Take note that many
-
people just have a hard time accepting that Ezekiel chapter
Ezekiel 38 chapter mention
-
38 and 39 really is about the Gog and Magog war.
-
It categorically says that. Write this down for yourself. Revelation
-
chapter 20 verse 9. Revelation chapter 20 verse 9. It
-
is quoting Ezekiel chapter 39 and verse 6. It's the
Ezekiel 39 chapter mention
-
same thing. You're supposed to understand that you have to
-
follow in. You have to believe Ezekiel first. Revelation is
-
just adding details for you. Yes, that is the battle
-
of Gog and Magog. Revelation chapter 20 verse 9 comes
-
from Ezekiel chapter 39 verse 6. It says the same thing.
-
You just have to accept it. You have to accept
-
the word. And the word is life. Not in the
-
traditions of man. So Those of you that's been born again,
-
I'm going to issue this plea one more time. Anyone
-
who's been born again viewing this video, if you have
-
any encouraging words or prayers, put them in the comments.
