The false belief that on the day of Christ's future 2nd coming, all the wicked are then destroyed and we go into God's new heavens and a new earth time is a doctrine of men called Amillennialism. It is not a written Bible doctrine. Christ will reign over the unsaved and wicked for a period of a "thousand years" starting on the day of His future return, as written in Revelation 20, and originally prophesied in Psalms 2.

I beleive Peter got it correct.

Cause Psalm 2:9 says like this, rod is capital punishement, they are crushed and broken into pieces, something that would be understood by the people of the time, as a weapon. Back then combatants would smash in people's skulls with clubs, they still do today.

"You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

Nothing here implies temporary punishment.
But it does imply dying.

Similar thing is breaking necks without remedy
  • Proverbs 29:1: "He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."(NKJV)
    • This directly mirrors my phrasing, combining a hardened neck with sudden destruction beyond remedy.
  • Proverbs 6:15: "Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy."
  • 2 Chronicles 36:16: "But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy."
  • Jeremiah 19:11: "Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, which cannot be made whole again..."

In Psalm 2:9, divine punishment is portrayed not merely as passive judgment, but as the total, irreversible execution of justice against those who persistently resist God’s sovereignty.

Key Themes of Judgment in Psalm 2:9

  • Sovereign Execution: The phrase "break them with a rod of iron" depicts unyielding, absolute authority. An iron rod (or scepter) signifies a power against which no human strength or rebellion can stand.
  • Complete Destruction of the Wicked: The metaphor "dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel" highlights the utter fragility of wicked rulers and nations when confronted by divine judgment. A shattered clay pot cannot be repaired or pieced back together; the destruction is total and final.
  • Warning to Earthly Authorities: The psalm frames this violent imagery as a sobering warning to the kings and judges of the earth (verses 10–12) to submit to God's anointed King before His wrath is fully kindled.
Connection to God’s Appointed Day of Judgment

This theme of absolute, righteous judgment carried out by God’s ordained King aligns directly with the broader biblical message of ultimate accountability. In Acts 17:31, Paul declares that God "has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained," confirming that the authority to judge and break rebellious power rests in Jesus Christ, verified through His resurrection.

In the New Testament, this OT imagery culminates in the Book of Revelation (such as Revelation 2:27 and 19:15), where Christ’s return to crush evil and execute final judgment on the wicked fulfills the promise of the iron rod.

The nations (kingdoms/countries etc) are broken and destroyed, not the individuals. You left out that they are RULED over by that same rod and rule means a peaceful and caring rule. Look it up in any Greek dictionary.

Rev_2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Rev_12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

"Rule"
G4165
p??µa?´??

From G4166; to tend as a shepherd (or figuratively superviser): - feed (cattle), rule.


Some people don't understand what a supervising shepherd does when he TENDS a flock under his control. To tend is to take care of! A supervisor watches over his employees, not kill them! A shepherd controls and protects his flock and that is the type of rule that shall be not the judgment and destruction of the wicked during the Millennium. They are protected from the deceptions of satan for the entire thousand years. It is clear error to mix the concept of shepherding with judging and punishing and killing. In addition, they will have no way to group and form together to rebel during this time which is expressed by the vessels being broken up. The pieces are individuals and the vessels represented they previous way they had been grouped together in opposition to Christ.

The description of number 3 is what the bible calls as Christ coming "the second time". There are two comings not 3.

Heb_9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Yes Jerusalem is the city


7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also [a]our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations [b]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

From google:
Core Beliefs of Amillennialism

Figurative 1,000 Years:
The number 1,000 is a symbolic, large round number. It represents the entire unseen spiritual era between Jesus ascending to heaven and His eventual return.

The Binding of Satan:
Satan was bound during Christ's first earthly ministry. This binding stops him from stopping the spread of the Gospel.

Christ Reigns Now:
Jesus is currently seated at the right hand of God. He rules over heaven, earth, and His church right now

A Single Final Return:
Jesus will return only once at the very end of time. His return triggers the final judgment and starts the eternal state immediately, without an intervening earthly reign.

Now when they pretend to ask legitimate questions , you can know the backdrop of their false doctrine.
Cunning little mischief makers in here with their own changed bibles.

The forum should make them expose their beliefs along side their names.
Most Amillennials use only the KJV Bible of 1611, using for reference the Strong's Concordance in the Textus Receptus Greek.

Premillennial, rapture theorists prefer to use the numerous, newly translated bibles, along with "Bible hub", using for reference the Westcott & Hort Greek text of 1881, and the many books published by Protestant denominational authors.

Now let's keep things in context.

After the Church is raptured the world will be in chaos.
A Pre-Trib rapture isn't found in scripture, it's a John N. Darby, C.I. Scofield man made fairy tale
The rider on the white horse will go forth conquering and to conquer. The AOD will be set up and that is when the Jews are told to flee without going back into their house to grab anything. Those that flee will flee to a place of protection. Those that remain will be killed.
Those being told to flee is (The Church, The Remnant) they will be saved Jews in Jerusalem, (The Remnant Church) seen in Romans Chapter 11
The dragon will not be able to get to the woman, Israel, as she is in a place of protection. He goes after her seed which are the Jews around the world that are not living in Israel. Many have their eyes opened and see that Jesus is the Messiah, beginning with the 144,000 first fruits from 12 tribes.
The Woman is (The Remnant Church) saved Jews that will be in the wilderness
Revelation 12
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Saved Jews (The Remnant Church)
Do you think that they are going to want the Jews to take the mark? Or do you think that the Jews will be hunted and killed?

And no need to with the yada, yada, yada, no pretribulation rapture, yada, yada, yada. The part about the Jews will not change.

Revelation 12:6, The Remnant Church In The Wilderness Explained?​


(The Remnant Church) will be in the wilderness protected by God

Scripture teaches that the 144,000 the remnant church will be localized to Jerusalem, and ethnic to the location Israel, "the remnant of his heritage"

Below you see the future fulfilling of the gentiles and desolation in Jerusalem, armies from the worlds nations, from sea to sea

Below you see the Remnant being fed in the wilderness of Carmel, Bashan, Gilead, manna from heaven, as in the days of old in coming out of Egypt, the world watches in fear of the Lords power

Luke 21:20-21KJV
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

Revelation 12:6KJV
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Micah 7:10-18KJV
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

God's "Two Witnesses" Rule The World During The Future Great Tribulation​


Many put the future (Man Of Sin) (The Beast) as the ruler of earth during the 3.5 year tribulation "wrong"!

It will be God's (Two Witnesses) that rule in bringing all plagues in torturing the evil world, a literal remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt, God's in control!

Revelation 11:3-6 & 10KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

The Future (Two Witnesses) "All Plagues" As Often As They Will Representing "God"


Revelation 16:1-11KJV
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores
, and repented not of their deeds.

From G4166; to tend as a shepherd (or figuratively superviser): - feed (cattle), rule.

Hmm, well, Christ is the great Shepherd of the sheep, not the unbelieving goats. Christ only shepherds His people, for all the others, He does not know them, where they are from.

Luke 13:27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’


Hebrews 13
20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you [f]complete in every good work to do His will, working in [g]you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

22 And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words. 23 Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

24 Greet all those who [h]rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.


The Narrow Way​

22 And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”

And He said to them,

24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’

26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’

27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’

28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

John 10
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.




11 I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.

12 But he that is a hireling and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep.

13 The hireling fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep and am known by Mine.

15 As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold and one Shepherd.

17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from My Father.”

24 Then came the Jews round about Him and said unto Him, “How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.”

25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and ye believed not. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.

28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.

29 My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.


30 I and My Father are one.”

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold and one Shepherd.

These are the ones God foreknows as His sheep, not all people are His sheep

Written of God's elect
Romans 8

27 And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover, whom He predestined, those He also called; and whom He called, those He also justified; and whom He justified, those He also glorified.

31 What then shall we say of these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay anything to the charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifieth.

And something you might have missed, when Christ returns in His glorious second coming, many of those people on the earth are worshipping the beast, received the mark and they will experience eternal destruction, they perish in fiery wrath of judgment.. They are not the saints of God.

But we believers, who remain alive are saved from the wrath of God on the world

1 Thess 4

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so will God bring with Him those also who sleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

17 then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that Day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light and the children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ

10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore comfort yourselves together and edify one another, even as also ye do.

You ever wonder why paul would write and say for when THEY shall say peace n safety
SUDDEN destruction shall come upon them .
Because their peace plan DENIED THE VERY ONE G OSPEL OF JESUS
and sold an all incluisive LIE of anti christ of interfaith .
And as peter wrote many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of THEM the way of TRUTH
shall be evil spoken of ..................and they will bring swift destruction upon themselves .
Because GOD , CHRIST never was or ever will be the minstir of sin and UNBELEIF .
But satan is the minstir of sin and UNBELIEF and he can say GOD is love and yet
by means of his twisted version of love and of tolerance Will and has LED this people
INTO direct REBELLION against THE ONE TRUE GOD , HIS CHRIST , HIS WORDS and HIS saints .

Because GOD , CHRIST never was or ever will be the minstir of sin and UNBELEIF .
But satan is the minstir of sin and UNBELIEF and he can say GOD is love and yet
by means of his twisted version of love and of tolerance Will and has LED this people
INTO direct REBELLION against THE ONE TRUE GOD , HIS CHRIST , HIS WORDS and HIS saints .
8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
10 when He comes, in that Day,


Only His people remain with Christ when He comes on that Day, all others are eternally separated from Him, from the presence of the Lord
Very appropriate to call it the Last Day, for many reasons, cause the sun dims goes dark and the moon and the stars fall to the earth, as from hence on, The Lamb, Christ is the Light shining brightly, sun. moon, stars no longer mark the days or the seasons of time.

2 Thess 1
4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and [a]tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1
14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great [d]lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Sun, Moon, Stars are being deprecated, meaning their function for seasons and times on the earth is coming to an end, there will be NO MORE NIGHT

As what approaches is the glorious eternal state of the kingdom of God on earth (new earth), forever and ever.

Revelation 8:12

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck​

Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

Matthew 24:29

The Coming of the Son of Man​

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Revelation 6:13
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

Revelation 21:23
The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

Revelation 22:5
There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

THAT DAY , That very Hour , OH its approaching all right .
A day wherein all who had lo ved and beleive a LIE will surely wail .
What is the one common and fastests growing lie among the false religoins and well
as among christendom . THE LIE that stated that all religoins serve the same God a christain does .
Thus making the dire necessity to repent and believe on JESUS as NOT NECESSARY at all .
Oh you seen that lie if
you know anything about this ecumeincal harlot and her all inclusive god and the plan of many anti christs
OF intefaith . The one lie that all do buy and even see as love and even cliam to be the LOVE of GOD .
But tell me , HOW is THAT LIE the LOVE OF GOD . GOD testified ON JESUS THE CHRIST
and the LOVE of GOD is that WE KEEP HIS commandments . TO BELIEVE on JESUS the CHRIST
and to love one another . SEEMS like they darn sure OMITTED the YE M UST BELIEVE ON JESUS part
and simply sold a lie and they think ITS LOVING .
Now you show me two things in the scriptures . SHOW ME where GOD or His prophets , OR THE SON
ever once was THE MINSTIR OF SIN and of UNBLEIEF
You and i KNOW THAT IS A LIE , HE NEVER was or shall be

Most Amillennials use only the KJV Bible of 1611, using for reference the Strong's Concordance in the Textus Receptus Greek.

Premillennial, rapture theorists prefer to use the numerous, newly translated bibles, along with "Bible hub", using for reference the Westcott & Hort Greek text of 1881, and the many books published by Protestant denominational authors.
You are guessing and do not know any of that.

I was saved in a amil church.
The bible that 90% of us used was the NAS.
My wife still has hers.
(From 50 years ago)

So right away, is see through your claims.

( which is a rabbit trail)

The false belief that on the day of Christ's future 2nd coming, all the wicked are then destroyed and we go into God's new heavens and a new earth time is a doctrine of men called Amillennialism. It is not a written Bible doctrine. Christ will reign over the unsaved and wicked for a period of a "thousand years" starting on the day of His future return, as written in Revelation 20, and originally prophesied in Psalms 2.
Good response.
However every postribber takes that to the next level and says "the one taken" of mat 24
Is taken pretrib and destroyed.
(The postribber "pretrib rapture of wicked people")
Flat out ridiculous....yet it is actually a pillar in their doctrine.
We can now see the folly of changing a bible.

Like you are pointing out, only pretrib rapture is biblical.

I don't see how they are taken pretrib and destroyed.
Since the coming of Christ in that scripture is after the tribulation of those days, you are mistaken.

Jesus compares his return as the time of Noah, in Noah's day the ones taken by the flood were destroyed after the tribulation of those days.
When Jesus comes is a sudden destruction, like Lot's time and Noah, the people were not expecting that destruction and went about their daily life unconcerned, as they were saying 'peace and safety'

Matthew 24

The Coming of the Son of Man​

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree​

32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that [e]it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour​

36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of [f]heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming.

As happened in the recent tragedy in Nepal, unexpected sudden destruction

and now for a reminder . IF under the law a man could be put to death by two or three witnesses ,
HOW much SORER , as IN WORSE , a punishment for those who TROD CHRIST under foot .
LETS keep that in mind the next time anyone hears the song of a well favored HARLOT
who has sold her ecumeincal death song , second death song assurance , unto this world .
Let us remember that if a man could surely be put TO DEATH
HOW much worse for those who rejected JESUS THE CHRIST and found love in
a harlot and her ecumenincal intefaith inclusive interreligious dialogue and plan for peace .
Cause guess who is b ehind this peace plan . And guess who its gonna merge them all as ONE MAN
with ONE HEART and ONE agenda right under . THE BEAST who by means of a HIGHLY poweful
and FULLY
operational AI , image speaking , Led digital system . WHCH darn sure will enforce the law of the all inclusive god
WHO THEY WILL BELIEVE IS GOD , IS LOVE and IS his plan for world peace , YET WAS THE DEVIL all along .
