Jesus Returns and the Millennium Begins
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
Ezekiel 38: 18
The next day, Michael and Pamela watch the Web news to see how much destruction was in Israel. Israeli military had tried the best they could. The IAF had inflicted great lose in EU ground forces. Michael looked up an excellent web page on the Israeli Navy. “Pamela, the Israeli Navy has a very good Navy and their Air Force is the best in the Mideast. Take a look at the video about the Israeli Air Force. But by massive numbers, the opposing forces are winning the conflict.“
“Check out this video on CNN, looks like alMahdi's forces have leveled most of Jerusalem. The Israeli Military may be the best in the world, as far as quality of their soldiers, but when it's a numbers game, alMahdi can win. Israel may have a force of thousands of King David quality people, but David had only ONE Goliath, not millions and millions of Goliath's grandchildren!” said Pamela.
“So Pamela, what does God's Word say on Jesus' return? We have studied it before. It will be as day around the world. Night is not dark and the sun is dimmed compared to Jesus' glory. Living saints will gather in the air to welcome Jesus to His new Kingdom! The dead will arise with the living saints.”
Pamela has a question. “Do we know what time of day he will come?”
“I don't think so. Just the part in Zechariah 14 indicates that it may not make any difference because it will be as day around the world!” said Michael. “So it looks like:
Jesus returns from the heavens.
Believers arise to meet Him in the air.
Dead believers are resurrected to meet Him in the air.
In Zechariah 14 Jesus will fight against all who fought against Jerusalem.
Their flesh shall be consumed, their eyes melt in the sockets.
Jesus is King over all the earth.
The Wrath of God seems to follow the Antichrist with his mark and image to worship.
After the curses of the Wrath of God, is when the Lord of Lords, the Messiah, comes to smite the dragon and his forces.
Then, the Devil is bound in the bottomless pit for a thousand years, then to be loosed for a 'little season.'
Michael and Pamela sit back on their sofa and look at each other.
Pamela speaks with some anxiety, “Honey, Jesus better come fast now, al
Mahdi has it setup now that we have no outside provided power, no hot water unless to sun is out pretty strong, no home phone, no cell phones, the only news we can get is what the government wants to tell us, we can't buy any groceries, and neither of us can work. The only Israelites left are those that ran to the hills to get away from the alMahdi forces that destroyed
Jerusalem. We don't keep Sharia Law that alMahdi and the Pope want all people to do, so we can't do any business. And alMahdi said that the whole world now is an Allah worshiping theocracy. What do we do now?”
“Well Honey, our chickens still provide eggs, let's fix a supper and get ready for the approaching Sabbath!” said Michael.
“Okay Honey, I guess it's one day at a time until the Moral Police come for us.” said Pamela.
Michael and Pamela were able to fix scrambled eggs and some greens from the garden. Their diet had become more limited because they could not purchase anything in the grocery store. They both had lost a little weight, but they are not sick.
They sang some songs and did some Bible study. Sunset was about 7:30 pm and they both went out to see the bright colors of the sunset and to welcome the Sabbath. They saw some rabbits cross the bumpy county road. “I better round up the chickens before the local foxes and coyotes make trouble.” mentioned Michael. He gave Pamela a hug and walked over to the chicken yard to close the chicken chute. They both then retired to sleep. As Pamela looked to the sky, she said “Look Michael, in the sky, there are seven angels holding seven vials. They are waiting it looks like. Behind them is a building, it's like a temple! That's like Revelation 15 and 16, the vials represent the wrath of God!”
“As in Revelation 16, all people that received the mark of the Beast will suffer the wrath of God” said Pamela.
Revelation 16
The Bowls of God’s Wrath
16:1 Then1 I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels:
“Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”2 16:2 So3 the first angel4 went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then5 ugly and painful sores6 appeared on the people7 who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
16:3 Next,8 the second angel9 poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood, like that of a corpse, and every living creature that was in the sea died.
16:4 Then10 the third angel11 poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. 16:5 Now12 I heard the angel of the waters saying:
“You are just13 – the one who is and who was, the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments,14
16:6 because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets, so15 you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!”16
16:7 Then17 I heard the altar reply,18 “Yes, Lord God, the AllPowerful,19 your judgments are true and just!”
16:8 Then20 the fourth angel21 poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people22 with fire. 16:9 Thus23 people24 were scorched by the terrible heat,25 yet26 they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority27 over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.
16:10 Then28 the fifth angel29 poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast so that30 darkness covered his kingdom,31 and people32 began to bite33 their tongues because34 of their pain. 16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferings35 and because of their sores,36 but nevertheless37 they still refused to repent38 of their deeds.
16:12 Then39 the sixth angel40 poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water41 to prepare the way42 for the kings from the east.43 16:13 Then44 I saw three unclean spirits45 that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 16:14 For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the earth46 to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the AllPowerful.47
16:15 (Look! I will come like a thief!
Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose48 his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition49 be seen.)50
16:16 Now51 the spirits52 gathered the kings and their armies53 to the place that is called Armageddon54 in Hebrew.
16:17 Finally55 the seventh angel56 poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done!” 16:18 Then57 there were flashes of lightning, roaring,58 and crashes of thunder, and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanity59 has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake. 16:19
The60 great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations61 collapsed.62 So63 Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cup64 filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath.65 16:20 Every66 island fled away67 and no mountains could be found.68 16:21 And gigantic hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds69 each, fell from heaven70 on people,71 but they72 blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since it73 was so horrendous.74
“Michael, I was able to download a new Bible translation called the NetBible. It, moreorless says the same as the King James version, except it goes back to the Greek translations. But both of them concur in the results of the plagues, ' repented not of their deeds.' The unbelievers are too egotistical to think of anyone GREATER than they! They had no father figure in their life to simulate our God Almighty and His Son, Jesus!”
“Pamela, Honey, I used to think that part of the Wrath of God was history. But after looking at these verses of Revelation, I see that all of these Wraths of God are all future events! The key in here are the phrases of these verses that say: 'which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.'
“So Honey, I expect that some of our Catholic friends that took the Pope's advice and keep Sharia Law may show the results listed in scripture.” said Michael. “So let me see if I can make an LimitedLiability Corporation and mooch some work from my past supervisor. As far as I know, our Moslem/Christian theocracy isn't putting a mark on corporations. Maybe they will require all employees to keep Sharia Law. I don't know yet.” said Michael.
A few days passed and Michael was able to get a few projects from his past supervisor. His supervisor knew Michael was good at what he did. For the software corporation, Michael was a good investment; he was the best work per dollar available in the whole intermountain west area.
Then, in three more days, George and Brenda, their Catholic friends dropped by. Pamela saw them come down their dirt road and get out of their car. “Michael, George and Brenda just stopped. George looks like he has a big sore on his cheek!”
“Uh, huh.” said Michael. He opened the front door. “George, Brenda, come on in! George, how's life treating you?”
“Not very good now. We both have some pretty bad sores on us now. But the Pope says it's the Devil trying to get us to change our minds and not support the Pope. As Catholics, both of us see the Pope as God's representative on earth. So we support what he says.” said George.
Brenda mentions how the government controlled media does not cover all the sores that almost everybody has on their body. “Every Sunday while we worship Allah, the Priests say that diseases are caused by Satan; that we should continue to worship Allah.”
Pamela quietly mentions “Brenda, the last time we talked, Michael and I included how a past Pope deleted the Second Commandment that forbids worship of an image and how the Pope is not a bona fide representative of God. The Temple veil was torn at Jesus' crucifixion, so believers have no person in between themselves and their Savior, Jesus Christ!
Brenda states “Sorry Pamela, but I was raised a Catholic and I'll die a Catholic. It's like my ethnic beginnings, I can't change it.”
Michael exclaims “But Brenda, God gives liberty to you. You can think things 'outofthebox!' You are free!”
George and Brenda look at each other with a questioning look in their eyes. George questions “Well Michael, can we just repent of keeping Sharia Law? We told an Imam that we kept the Pillars of Faith, but we don't even know them!”
“Oh! Be sure to tell an Imam that you believe that Jesus IS the Son of God, that he is your Savior, and that your salvation is through him, your Redeemer! You will not be able to buy and sell in the market anymore, but tell them the truth!” stated Pamela.
“But we live in the city. We can't grow food, so if we don't buy anything, we will fast ourselves to death!” said Brenda.
“Okay Brenda, off with your head cover!” said Michael as he looked to
Brenda's forehead. “alMahdi had a deal to be sure that all Sharia obeying women had a head cover.” said Brenda.
“Well, thank you Michael and Pamela. We will go home and see how my work supervisor takes it when I tell him I cannot sell my services anymore. I'll tell my Church membership people that George and I want to be excommunicated. We have some food stored away, so I'll see if some neighbors will barter with us to get more food. We have some savings account funds, but that will not help, because we cannot exchange anything without keeping Sharia Law. So we can't pay our bills. There will be a foreclosure for our house. We will have to fast with no home!” said Brenda.
“It's tough in town George. We have enough equipment to supply our power and heat, but we had to cut our cell phones, Internet coverage, no home phone and live off the food we can grow. Let's offer a prayer for you, okay?” asked Pamela.
“Yes, please.” said Brenda.
“Our FatherinHeaven, George and Brenda have decided to stop following the Pope and Islam and want Jesus in their hearts. They don't want to keep the Sharia anymore, and they will need your help to live in the city with other people that worship Allah. Please help them change their hearts, and start a life to live for you and your Son Jesus. In the name of Jesus, amen.” prayed Michael.
“But we have Jesus for us!” exclaimed George. “And the sores are gone too!”
“We have over a halfatank of fuel, so we can make it home, but what after that, I don't know!”said Brenda. George and Brenda held hands and walked out to their car, and wave to Michael and Pamela before they open the door.
There was a cloud of dust as the car sped down the unpaved road to a new world for George and Brenda.
The rest of seven vials of the wrath of God came to the earth, and happened just as the Bible described. The second vial caused the sea to became as the blood of a dead man. Everything alive in the sea died. That includes fish, plants, divers and the crews of submarines! The third angel poured out his vial and all the rivers and fountains became as blood. The fourth angel poured his vial upon the sun and the angel had power to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with high heat and they repented not and cursed God that had power over these plagues.
The fifth angel poured his vial on the throne of the OneWorld government and all the people began to bite their tongues because of their pain. They cursed God because of their pains and sores, but they did not change their ways to give glory to God.
The sixth angel poured his vial on the Euphrates river and the river dried up to make a path for the Kings of the East. Those are the armies of Asia that did not like keeping the Sharia in a OneWorld government. Now the seventh angel poured his vial into the air and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, 'It is done.'
In the middle of the night, Michael rolls over towards Pamela, “Honey, this was a short night, I'll need a nap later on. It's really bright outside.”
“Michael, the clock says 3 am!”
“Honey, you know what that means?”
“Sure do!” said Pamela.
At that moment, Michael and Pamela began to rise off the floor at a rate of about 2 feet per second. They went through the house's ceiling and roof.
“Hey, when I first awoke, I was tired from a short night's sleep. But now, I feel as if I had an undisturbed whole nights sleep! I feel more energetic than I ever did as a kid! Wow!” Michael exclaimed.
Pamela concurred. She felt wonderful!
When they had a good viewpoint of the valley they resided in, they noticed a family, dressed in worn western wear, coming out of the valley floor. Pamela excitedly blurts out, “Wow, we were changed in an instant, and there is the resurrection of the dead!”
“All four of them are catching up to us!” said Michael.
“Honey, they look so happy!” said Pamela.
As they approach Michael and Pamela, the couple's young daughter exclaims “Daddy, I know I was sick, but I just went to sleep! More people are in the air with us!”
The father introduced his family to Michael and Pamela as they all rose in the air. “My name is George Adams, this is my wife Bertha and our two children Nicholas and Susan. We all had a bad fever and apparently we all died, but we always did a Bible study. We knew Jesus would come!”
More and more people were joining together as they all rose into the sky. Michael mentioned to their small group of people, “This is like we were looking down from an airplane, we are all up thousands of feet! We are traveling east. Look! That is the Mississippi River!”
The group that numbered hundreds and hundreds now numbered to the thousands and thousands. Pamela exclaimed “Honey, I have seen a few dollar bills; that person over their looks like George Washington!”
“Pamela, I think I can partially navigate.” Michael finds that as you turn your shoulders and body, you can slightly change your location relative to the other people. “Pamela, if you can turn your shoulders and body, you can move to visit with another person. Let's go and talk with George Washington.” Michael and Pamela say goodbye to the Adams family and work towards George Washington.
“Michael, it looks like many other people had the same idea. Many people are already listening to President Washington. But look, now we are over the Atlantic Ocean!”
“We sure are! And we are getting closer to Jesus. Our pajamas changed to white robes now! We are pure through Jesus blood!”
“Pamela, see how the sunlight is dim compared to Jesus' glory! There He is! He's above us! There is a space in our midst. He's going down to Jerusalem! There are all the soldiers and equipment they used to destroy Jerusalem. They are fleeing the glory of Jesus as he descends! Wow!”
“Michael, this is like a huge auditorium! All the believers that were changed in an instant and those in the first resurrection are watching as Jesus goes to Jerusalem!” said Pamela.
“He is going toward the Mount of Olives. A valley is forming going east to west between the three peaks. The soldiers that invaded Jerusalem are melting!” said Michael.
After Jesus had destroyed all people who had attacked Jerusalem, He spoke to all believers in the sky. “My people, I have smitten the people that fought against Jerusalem. The world is under my command. Before us now is one thousand years to lead all people of the world and subdue those who do not wish to be lead by me. You will descend to the earth to unite with your families and go to your homes that have been prepared. First, you will meet with your immediate families, then your extended families.”
“None of you have the mark of the Beast. None of you will suffer the wrath of God. This planet will undergo a change to be like it was before the flood. There will be no mountains or islands. The water of the oceans will go back to the heavens to change this world into a greenhouse.”
Then there were great flashes of lightning, and roars of thunder, and there was a stupendous earthquake. This earthquake was the greatest earthquake since the creation of man on the earth. A great hailstorm with hailstones of one hundred pounds each will cause great pain to the people that curse God and do not repent.
Jesus speaks to His people before they descend to the earth. “My people, before the end of the millennium when time ends, you will learn and study my ways. Whether it be medicine, physics, botany, art, music, or whatever subject you discern as your specialty, you will learn it.”
Jesus continues, “Towards the end of the millennium, the Devil will be released a short time out of the bottomless pit and the last resurrection will occur. I will turn my earthly Kingdom over to my Father, God Almighty. The Devil and his followers will attempt to attack my Kingdom.”
At that moment, from the headquarters of the OneWorld government, a great being, from the bodies of the Pope, and alMahdi , appeared. It was like an image of fireworks, great light, but no power unless you are close to it.
Then an angel, having the key to the bottomless pit, came down from the heavens and bound that great image, the Devil, an old serpent, and put him in the bottomless pit.
The great being shouted. “You, Yeshua, Jesus, the Chosen One, you have not seen the last of me. I will return!”
