What we need to notice is that the Last Great Day is separate from the
Feast in that 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 the fruit of majestic trees for
yourselves on the first day, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of
thick trees, and willows of the valley. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah
your God seven days.
Notice that we dwell in booths for just the 7 days of the feast.
Lev 23:42 You shall live in booths seven days. All that are born Israelites shall live 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 And this is the will of the
Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing
but should raise it up again 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 on Him should 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 has sent Me draw 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 partakes of 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 Jehovah will 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 So he planting, and he watering, are one, and each
one shall 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 And He said to them, You
shall indeed drink of 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 to those for whom it has been 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 an interesting time.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were full of wrath, and Your wrath
came, and the time of the judging of the dead, and to give the reward to
Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to the ones fearing
Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those destroying
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 shall come
in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each
one according to his works.
Rev 22:12 And behold, I am coming quickly,
and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his work is.
Psa 84:10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the
tents of wickedness.
Lets notice what Jesus spoke about on the Last Great Day, the following is a night 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 And in the last day of the great
feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
Joh 7:38 He who believes on Me, as the
Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall 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 He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who
believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Joh 7:40 Then when they heard the Word, many of the people
said, Truly this is the Prophet.
Joh 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But others said,
Does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Joh 7:42 Has the Scripture not said that Christ comes from
the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Joh 7:43 So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.
Joh 7:44 And some of them desired to seize Him, but no one
laid hands on Him.
Joh 7:45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees.
And they said to them, Why have you not brought him?
Joh 7:46 The officers answered, Never did any man speak as
does this Man.
Joh 7:47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Also, have you
not been deceived?
Joh 7:48 Is it not true that not any of the rulers or of the
Pharisees have believed into him?
Joh 7:49 But this crowd, not knowing the Law, is cursed.
Joh 7:50 Nicodemus said to them, (he who came to Jesus by
night, being one of them),
Joh 7:51 Does our law judge the Man before it hears Him and
knows what He does?
Joh 7:52 They answered and said to him, Are you also from
Galilee? Search the scriptures and see that a prophet has not been raised
out of Galilee.
Joh 7:53 And they each went to his own house.
This marked the end if the night service for the Last Great Day
Lets notice some of the other scriptures Christ taught regarding this time.
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said to
them, You err, 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 as the angels of God in
Heaven.
Mat 22:31 But regarding the resurrection
of the dead, have you not read that which 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, and
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 any more,
for they are equal to the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons
of the resurrection.
Again showing it is a time of judgment
Joh 5:29 and shall come forth, those
who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced
evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
Jud 1:6 And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after
this the judgment,
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to that which he has done, whether good or bad.
Joh 12:48 He who rejects Me and does
not receive My Words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
2Pe 3:7 But the present heavens and the earth being kept in store by the same Word, are being kept for fire until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Joh 11:24 Martha said to Him, I know that he shall 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 die,
yet he shall live.
Act 24:15 And I have hope toward God, which they themselves
also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the
just and unjust.
The following scriptures refer to the resurrection to spirit.
1Co 15:42 So also the resurrection of the dead. It 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 soul," the last Adam was a life-giving Spirit.
1Co 15:46 But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward
the spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man was out of earth, earthy; the second
Man was the Lord from Heaven.
1Co 15:48 Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones.
And such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones.
1Co 15:49 And according as we bore the image of the earthy
man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
1Co 15:50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all
fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last
trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall all be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption,
and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the
word that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, 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 So that, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not
without fruit in the Lord. Phi 3:11 If by any means I might attain
unto the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect, but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which
I also was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.
The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests
of God and of Christ, and will 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 2ND
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 Gods 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 on Him should
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 Gods word, do not believe Him, or obey Him, or hear His voice. They will be resurrected to physical life, and Gods 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 Gods 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 know My speech? Because you cannot hear My Word.
Joh 8:47 He who is of God hears God's Words. Therefore you do not hear them because you are not of God.
The following scripture was a night service at the beginning of the Last Great Day
Joh 7:37 And in the last day of the great
feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If
anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
Joh 7:38 He who believes on Me, as the
Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
When the service was over, the people went to their homes. Notice that
they did not go to booths, as the scripture shows that the Feast of Tabernacles
is for 7 days and that they were only to live in booths for 7 days.
Lev. 23 v 42.
THESE PEOPLE RETURNED TO THEIR HOMES.
Joh 7:53 And they each went to his own house.
Then on the next morning, still the Holy Day of the Last Great Day: let’s look at what Christ spoke about on the Last Great Day
Joh 8:2 And 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 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman
taken in adultery. And standing her in the midst,
Joh 8:4 they said to Him, Teacher, this woman was taken in
adultery, in the very act.
Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should
be stoned. You, then, what do you say?
Joh 8:6 They said this, tempting Him so that they might have
reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote on the ground with
His finger, not appearing to hear.
Joh 8:7 But as they continued to ask Him, He lifted Himself
up and said to them, He who is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stone at her.
Joh 8:8 And again bending down, He wrote on the ground.
Joh 8:9 And hearing, and being convicted by conscience, they
went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, until the last. And Jesus
was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Joh 8:10 And bending back up, and seeing no one but the woman,
Jesus said to her, Woman, where are the ones who
accused you? Did not one give judgment against you?
Joh 8:11 And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her,
Neither
do I give judgment. Go, and sin no more.
What Christ wrote may well have been the 10 commandments, these
were written in stone, and there was no mercy given to those who did not
keep the law.
The original 10 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 yourself down to them, nor serve
them. For I Jehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who
hate Me,
Deu 5:10 and doing mercy to thousands of 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 again to them, saying, I
am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
Joh 8:13 Therefore the Pharisees said to Him, You bear record
concerning yourself; your witness is not true.
Joh 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though
I bear record concerning Myself, My witness is true. For I know from where
I came, and where I go. But you do not know from where I came, and where
I go.
Joh 8:15 You judge after the flesh,
I judge no one.
It is the Fathers 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 and 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 concerning Me.
Joh 8:19 Then they said to Him, Where is your father? Jesus
said to them, You neither know Me nor My Father.
If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
Joh 8:20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught
in the temple. And no man laid hands upon Him, for His hour had not yet
come.
Joh 8:21 Then Jesus said again to them, I
go away, and you shall seek Me and shall die in your sins. Where I go,
you cannot come.
Joh 8:22 Then 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 shall die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I AM, you shall
die in your sins.
Joh 8:25 Then they said to Him, Who are you? And Jesus said
to them, Even the same which I also say to you.
Joh 8:26 I have many things to say and
to judge of you, but He who sent Me is true, and I speak to the world those
things what I heard of 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 have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I AM, and that
I do nothing of Myself, but as My Father has 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 which
please Him.
Joh 8:30 As He spoke these words, many believed upon Him.
Notice now, that many believed Christ.
Joh 8:31 Then Jesus said to the Jews
who believed on Him, If you continue 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 Gods 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 Gods 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
seed and were never in bondage to anyone. How do you say, You will be made
free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them,
Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever practices sin is the slave of sin.
Notice that Gods words have no place in these people.
Joh 8:36 Therefore if the Son shall make
you free, you shall be free indeed.
Joh 8:37 I know that you are Abraham's
seed, 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, then, 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 answered 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 have heard beside God; this Abraham
did not do.
Joh 8:41 You do the deeds of your father.
Then they said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father,
even 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 went forth and came from God; for I did not come of Myself, but He sent Me.
They do not understand Gods words, because they just simply can’t hear them.
Joh 8:43 Why do you not know My speech?
Because you cannot hear My Word.
Joh 8:44 You are of the Devil as father,
and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning,
and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of
it.
Joh 8:45 And because I tell you the
truth, you do not believe Me.
Joh 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of
sin? And if I say 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 them because you are not of God.
Joh 8:48 Then the Jews answered and said
to Him, Do we not say well 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 Gods 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 Truly, truly, I say to you,
If a man 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 and the prophets are dead, and
you say, If a man keeps my Word, he shall never taste of death.
Joh 8:53 Are you greater than our father
Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself?
Joh 8:54 Jesus answered,
If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies
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 should say I do not know Him, I would be a liar
like you. But I know Him and I keep His Word.
Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced
to see My day, and He saw 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, Truly, truly,
I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!
Joh 8:59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus
hid Himself and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of
them, and passed on by.
The following scriptures show that the last great day is a resurrection of Gods people, to spirit.
Joh 6:39 And this is the will of the
Father who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing
but should raise it up again 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 on Him should
have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:41 Then the Jews murmured about
Him, because He said, I am the bread which came down from Heaven.
Joh 6:42 And they said, Is this not
Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How now does
this One say, I have come down from Heaven?
Joh 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and
said to them, Do not murmur with one another.
Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me unless
the Father who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last
day.
Joh 11:24 Martha said to Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Joh 12:48 He who rejects Me and does
not receive My Words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken,
the same shall 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 {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 one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken,
the same shall 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 those angels not having kept their first place,
but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains
under darkness for the judgment of a 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, not to
mention the things of this life?
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after
this the judgment,
Notice that judgment is given to the saints,
Dan 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High. And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Mat 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Dan 7:10 A stream of fire went out and came out from before
Him. A thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before Him. The judgment was set, 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
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 the judgment to begin from
the house of God. And if it first begins from us, what will be the end
of those disobeying 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: Jehovah came from Sinai and rose up from
Seir to them. He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands
of saints. From His right went a fiery law for them.
Zec 14:5 And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains;
for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee
as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with you.
When the saints return with the Father they then judge
Dan 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High. And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Psa 149:9 to carry out on them the judgment written; this is an honor for all His saints. Praise Jehovah!
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 fruitfull 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 But when the Son of Man comes
in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He shall sit on the
throne of His glory.
Mat 25:32 And all nations shall be gathered
before Him. And He shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd
divides the sheep from the goats.
Mat 25:33 And indeed He shall set the
sheep on His right hand, but the goats off the left.
Mat 25:34 Then the King shall say to
those on His right hand, Come, 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 shall answer
Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty,
and gave You drink?
Mat 25:38 When did we see You a stranger,
and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You?
Mat 25:39 Or when did we see You sick,
or in prison, and came to You?
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer
and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the
least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.
Mat 25:41 Then He also shall say to
those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into 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; I was naked, and you did not clothe Me; I was sick, and
in prison, and you did not visit me.
Mat 25:44 Then they will also 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 shall answer them,
saying, Truly 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 shall go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting 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, not to
mention the things of this life?
They are to be judged on the last great day
Jud 1:6 And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;
2Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare sinning angels, but thrust
them down into Tartarus, and delivered them into chains of darkness, being
reserved to judgment.
;
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent
called Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast out
into 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 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
and cast them onto the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman being
about to bear, so that when she bears he might devour her child.
The evil sons of God masquerade as church members, but they are in fact the devil seed.
Jud 1:10 But what things they do not know, they speak evil
of. And what things they understand naturally, like the animals without
reason, they are corrupted by these.
Jud 1:11 Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain, and gave
themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying
of Korah.
Jud 1:12 These are sunken rocks in your love feasts, feasting
together with you; feeding themselves without fear; waterless clouds being
carried about by winds; fruitless autumn trees, having died twice, having
been plucked up by the roots;
Jud 1:13 wild waves of the sea foaming up their shames; wandering
stars for whom blackness of darkness has been kept forever.
2Pe 2:12 But these, as unreasoning natural brute animals having
been born for capture and corruption, speak evil of the things that they
do not understand. And they will utterly perish in their own corruption,
2Pe 2:13 being about to receive the wages of unrighteousness,
deeming indulgence as pleasure in the daytime, and reveling in spots and
blemishes, feasting along with you in their deceits,
2Pe 2:14 having eyes full of adultery and never ceasing from
sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised with covetousness.
They are cursed children
2Pe 2:15 who have forsaken the right way and have gone astray,
following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
2Pe 2:16 but had reproof of his lawbreaking, a dumb ass speaking
in a man's voice, held back the madness of the prophet.
2Pe 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds driven with
a tempest, for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved 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 net 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 sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw
the bad away.
Mat 13:49 So it shall be at the end
of the world. The angels shall come out and separate the wicked from among
the just,
Mat 13:50 and shall cast them into the
furnace of fire. There shall 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 seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the darnel are the sons of the
evil one.
Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is
the Devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the
angels.
Mat 13:40 Therefore as the darnel are
gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man shall send
out His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that
offend, and those who do iniquity,
Mat 13:42 and shall cast them into a
furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then the righteous shall shine
out like 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 also shall say to those
on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared
for the Devil and his angels.
1Ti 3:6 not a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into
the condemnation of the Devil.
Rev 20:10 And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he 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 lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands.
Notice the other nations are mentioned
Isa 14:1 For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet
choose Israel and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall be
joined with them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.
Back to Revelation
Rev 7:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation
to our God sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.
Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the
elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne
on their faces and worshiped God,
Rev 7:12 saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving
and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who
are these who are arrayed in white robes, and from where do they come?
Israel repents during the captivity after Jacobs trouble.
Rev 7:14 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me,
These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation and have washed
their robes, and have whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.
Rev 7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and
they serve Him day and night in His temple. And He sitting on the throne
will dwell among them.
Rev 7:16 They will not hunger any more, nor thirst any more,
nor will the sun light on 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 feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears 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 Jehovah will 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 your reward in Heaven is great. 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 just one in the name of a just one will receive a just one's reward.
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man shall come
in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each
one according to his works.
Luk 6:35 But love your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And your reward shall be
great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the
unthankful and to the evil.
Col 3:24 knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward
of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25 But he who does wrong shall receive justice for the
wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were full of wrath, and Your wrath came, and the time of the judging of the dead, and to give the reward to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to the ones fearing Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those destroying the earth.
Rev 22:12 And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is
with Me, to give to each according as his work is.
