  1. Welcome to my live stream. It's good to be with

  2. you today.

  3. We're going to be tackling a very important topic that

  4. will dispel any cunningly devised fables that have completely dispelled

  5. any theological myths. There are so many out there that

  6. affect those of us that have been born again. You

  7. have to turn off their noise. You have to hearken

  8. to the Word. It is the Word and the Word

  9. alone that will explain to you everything that's going to happen.

  10. And you can do one of two things once you

  11. hear it. Once you're informed of what the Word says,

  12. you can either accept it or reject it. So, with

  13. that in mind, God bless everybody. Matthew Miller here from

  14. Maranatha Ministries. Today we're talking about the last judgment.

  15. There are two judgments.

  16. The judgment seat of Christ is not the last judgment.

  17. That's not the last judgment. Jesus Christ, at his judgment seats,

  18. field-punts the wicked to the final judgment of God the Father.

  19. That is the second resurrection. It is there where the

  20. finality is introduced. I've shared this before. John chapter 5.

    John 5 chapter mention

  21. Plainly states this. The reason why there's. A resurrection of

  22. the righteous. Jesus judges the righteous.

  23. And rewards them. Everyone else gets. Field punted. To the

  24. last judgment.

  25. And God executes judgment. On them.

  26. So. Like I said. There in the Greek. In John

    John 5 chapter mention

  27. chapter 5. You just.

  28. Once again, you have to read the Word and accept it.

  29. If you reject it, you will fall prey to theological myths.

  30. Because what is being propagated out there in the church

  31. buildings is this, cunningly devised fables that have nothing to do,

  32. have no root in the Word. If they don't have

  33. root in the Word, they don't have a root. So,

  34. let's talk about this again. Revelation chapter 20 lines up

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  35. perfectly with Ezekiel chapter 39. Not a little bit left

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  36. to the right.

  37. They're saying the same thing, just reworded. So when you

  38. go here and you realize.

  39. That the first judgment, the first resurrection of the righteous

  40. is executed at Christ's return.

  41. At his return.

  42. Okay? So starting with verse 4 in Revelation chapter 20.

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  43. And I saw thrones, and they that sat on them,

  44. and judgment was committed to them.

  45. And I saw the souls.

  46. Of those who had been beheaded for their witness in

  47. Jesus and the word of God, who had not worshipped

  48. the beast or his image, and had not received his

  49. mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they

  50. lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But

  51. the rest of the dead did not live again, until

  52. the thousand years were finished.

  53. This is the first resurrection.

  54. John chapter 5 plainly states that God the Father has

    John 5 chapter mention

  55. assigned the resurrection of life to Jesus. Jesus determines who

  56. lives forever.

  57. And who dies forever.

  58. Those who die forever We'll wait till after his millennial reign.

  59. But of course, the word lays this out. Verse six,

  60. blessed and holy is he who has part of the

  61. first resurrection over such the second death has no power,

  62. but they shall be priest of God and Christ and

  63. shall reign with him for a thousand years. So we've

  64. encountered the first judgment. This is the judgment seat of Christ.

  65. Now Christ is going to reign for a thousand years.

  66. What happens after that reign? The Word plainly lays it

  67. out for you so that those of you who have

  68. been baptized in the Holy Spirit might know and understand

  69. what's going to happen.

  70. This is what God's intentions are. They're not what's coming

  71. out of your pulpits. That's not the truth.

  72. So, verse 7, Now when the thousand years have expired,

  73. Satan will be released from his prison and go out

  74. to deceive the nations which are at the four corners

  75. of the earth, Gog and Magog. to gather them together

  76. to battle, whose number is of the sand of the sea.

  77. What happens to Gog and Magog? Revelation chapter 21, verse 9.

    Revelation 21:9

  78. They went up on the breadth of the earth and

  79. surrounded the camp of the saints in the beloved city,

  80. and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. We

  81. already knew this. How did we already know? Well, Ezekiel

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  82. chapter 39 tells us exactly. It told us first in

  83. Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 6. So, Revelation chapter 20, verse

    Ezekiel 39:6 Revelation 20:9

  84. 9 didn't make it up. No, it gets it from

  85. this verse. Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 6. And I will

    Ezekiel 39:6

  86. send fire on Magog and those who live in the

  87. security of the coastlands.

  88. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

  89. Not left, not right. That's what's going to happen. So,

  90. when you know that, when you flip over to the

  91. next chapter, chapters Ezekiel 40 through 48, is giving you

  92. the dimensions of of the temple which God will inhabit

  93. for the final seven years, after the millennial reign of Christ,

  94. after the second resurrection of the unrighteous. It says so,

  95. Ezekiel chapter 39, verse 9, Then those who dwell in

    Ezekiel 39:9

  96. the city of Israel will go out and set fire

  97. and burn the weapons, both shields and bucklers, to bows

  98. and arrows, javelins and spears, and they shall make fires

  99. with them for seven years. if you just go down

  100. and keep reading, you'll see how long that it takes

  101. to bury these charred remains. So, the first seven months

  102. of the final sabbatical seven years of this creation, the

  103. first seven months is spent burying the bodies. Verse 12.

  104. For seven months, the house of Israel will be burying

  105. them in order to cleanse the land. Now, If you

  106. keep going down in verse 21, this is where God

  107. says he will set up in this temple that's described

  108. in the next chapters. Like I said, Ezekiel 40 through

  109. 48 is describing where this is. This is the pillar

  110. of the presence. In this instance, for seven years, Jesus

  111. Christ will still be sitting on his throne in Jerusalem.

  112. and God the Father, he says here that his pillar

  113. of the presence will be in Ezekiel's temple. Yes, it does. Listen.

  114. When it's delivered to you from the word, you have

  115. two options. Reject it or accept it. If you don't

  116. reject it, you're going to fall prey to cunningly devised

  117. fables that are turned into theological myths. This is true.

  118. Verse 21 of Ezekiel chapter 39. I will set my

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  119. glory among the nations, and all nations shall see my

  120. judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I

  121. have laid on them. This is the purpose of the

  122. next chapter, Ezekiel chapter 40, beginning This series of chapters

    Ezekiel 40 chapter mention

  123. laying out the complexity of this new temple where God

  124. the Father's glory is going to be for the last

  125. seven years of this existence. Now, so when we go back,

  126. let's go back to Revelation chapter 20 verse 9. Because

    Revelation 20:9

  127. it's going to say this again. He's going to obliterate.

  128. This is God the Father. Jesus Christ is not fighting

  129. the battle of God. They went up on the breadth

  130. of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints

  131. in the beloved city. And fire came down from God

  132. out of heaven and devoured them. This verse is derived

  133. from Ezekiel chapter 39. I just read it to you. So,

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  134. what happens then? Verse 10. The devil who deceived them

  135. was cast into the lake. of fire and brimstone where

  136. the beast and the false prophet are. And they will

  137. be tormented day and night forever and ever. So, the

  138. beast and the false prophet had already been in the

  139. lake of fire for a thousand years. They'd already been

  140. in this Lake Guyana for a thousand years. All these

  141. things are true. So now let's get the details about

  142. the last judgment that is seven years before God recreates

  143. the heavens and the earth. Because for those last seven years,

  144. after he does this last judgment, Ezekiel 39 says that

  145. he will set up his glory in Ezekiel's temple. Revelation

    Revelation 20:11

  146. chapter 20 verse 11. Then I saw a great white

  147. throne in him who sat on it from whose face

  148. the earth and heaven fled away. And there was found

  149. no place for them. And I saw the dead, small

  150. and great, standing before God. And the books were opened.

  151. And another book was opened, which is the book of life.

  152. And the dead were judged according to their works by

  153. the things which were written in the books. The sea

  154. gave up the dead and who were in it. And

  155. death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them,

  156. and they were judged each according to his works. Then

  157. death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.

  158. This is the second death, and anyone not found written

  159. in the book of life was cast into the lake

  160. of fire. So, we already learned from Ezekiel chapter 39,

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  161. that after this judgment is seven years where God sets

  162. up his glory in Ezekiel's temple. What happens at the

  163. end of that seven years? Turn the page. Revelation chapter 21.

    Revelation 21 chapter mention

  164. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,

  165. for the first heaven and first earth had passed away. Also,

  166. there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the

  167. holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

  168. prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I

  169. heard a loud voice saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God

  170. is with men, and he will dwell with them, and

  171. they shall be his people. God himself will be with

  172. them and will be their God. God recreates the two dimensions.

  173. And this time, he's not residing in the spiritual dimension.

  174. This time, this just said, he's taking up his residence

  175. in the material creation. This is what the word laid

  176. out for you. This is what is going to happen.

  177. This is what is the divine intention. The divine intention

  178. cannot be altered, cannot be wavered from left and right.

  179. If you do, you fall into all these cunningly devised

  180. fables like all millennialism, like dispensationalism, like preterism. Those are

  181. all theological myths. They're all theological myths. The word and

  182. the word alone lays out for you the divine intention.

  183. And it's the divine intention which will happen. So, the

  184. last judgment has been so convoluted by these cunningly devised fables.

  185. They've made up all kinds of fables like the judgment

  186. scene of Christ is the last judgment. Yada, yada, yada.

  187. And just they reject John chapter 5. They reject Ezekiel

    John 5 chapter mention Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  188. chapter 39 through 48. They reject Revelation chapter 20, verse 21.

  189. That's why you can only be one of two things.

  190. You can be a Biblicist or a Rejectionist. Once you

  191. reject the Word, you're going to fall prey to the

  192. traditions of men. You're going to fall prey to Luther,

  193. You're going to fall prey to Calvin. And the list

  194. goes on and on and on and on. You're going

  195. to fall prey to Darby. You're going to fall prey

  196. to Schofield. The word and the word alone lays out

  197. for you categorically the divine intention. So, Word of advice

  198. for all of you that have been baptized in the

  199. Holy Spirit. Be forewarned. The people that are in your

  200. congregation that have not been born again are going to

  201. make martyrs of you in the great apostasy. They're going

  202. to do it. And I no longer have, I am

  203. no longer issuing a call to repentance to these Christians

  204. according to, well, they're not Christians. They're Christian in name only.

  205. In that they continue to willfully sin. Hebrews chapter 10

    Hebrews 10:26–29

  206. verses 26 through 29 say, they trample the Son of

  207. God underfoot. And have insulted the spirit of grace.

  208. I have.

  209. There's nothing I can do for them. It's pointless for

  210. me to call them to repentance. The Holy Spirit has

  211. redirected this mission. My message is warning you. Those who

  212. have been born again. They're going to make a martyr

  213. out of you. They will. So. Take note that many

  214. people just have a hard time accepting that Ezekiel chapter

    Ezekiel 38 chapter mention

  215. 38 and 39 really is about the Gog and Magog war.

  216. It categorically says that. Write this down for yourself. Revelation

    Revelation 20:9

  217. chapter 20 verse 9. Revelation chapter 20 verse 9. It

    Revelation 20:9

  218. is quoting Ezekiel chapter 39 and verse 6. It's the

    Ezekiel 39 chapter mention

  219. same thing. You're supposed to understand that you have to

  220. follow in. You have to believe Ezekiel first. Revelation is

  221. just adding details for you. Yes, that is the battle

  222. of Gog and Magog. Revelation chapter 20 verse 9 comes

    Revelation 20:9

  223. from Ezekiel chapter 39 verse 6. It says the same thing.

    Ezekiel 39:6

  224. You just have to accept it. You have to accept

  225. the word. And the word is life. Not in the

  226. traditions of man. So Those of you that's been born again,

  227. I'm going to issue this plea one more time. Anyone

  228. who's been born again viewing this video, if you have

  229. any encouraging words or prayers, put them in the comments.
