How it was, is now and will be

HOW IT WAS
Long ago, God, who has existed forever, formed the angelic beings, in order to serve Him in the Heavenly realms. There are a great number of angels and they have varying degrees of powers. The most powerful of these is Lucifer. [the light bearer]

It was a sad day for God when Lucifer began to aspire to take over God’s kingship. Lucifer said; “I will be like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12-14. Then he convinced a third of the other angels to go with him in rebellion against God.


God had a dilemma. He couldn’t simply wipe out those beings that He had created, because as a perfect and righteous God, to arbitrarily destroy them would not prove His just sentence against them.

What was required were witnesses – intelligent, unbiased and independent jurors to sit at this trial of Lucifer and his followers, so that the defendants could not say to God- you are unjust. Job 34:10-12

So God thought about that universe that He had created in another dimension and tidied up a suitable planet in it. He prepared a beautiful garden, and then formed a man and a woman in His likeness. They were given free will over their actions.

God may have been quite happy had Adam and Eve continued in obedience to Him. However, I guess God knew that they wouldn’t and sin came into this world, which does give humans the choice between good and evil.

And so, the first civilization gradually fell into worse and worse sin, until God wiped them out with a great flood, saving only one family.

Once again, the population increased and God decided that one righteous man would father a nation that would become “a light to all nations” in order to show the world His ways and be a people who would become His jurors and His friends. Isaiah 43:10-11

God showed His love for these people by rescuing them from bondage in Egypt, giving them His laws and settling them into the Promised Land. According to His plan, they divided into two Kingdoms - the House of Judah and the House of Israel. 1 Kings 12:24

Sadly, even these peoples backslid into apostasy and idolatry. So, ‘God flung them out of His presence.’ Jeremiah 23:39 They went into exile among the nations of the world. The House of Judah remains a visible entity, but the House of Israel is lost to our knowledge – only to be identified when all twelve tribes are gathered into the Land.


Into Judah, God sent His Son, Jesus, to clearly tell all who would listen how to live righteously in God’s sight. In order to atone for men’s sins, there has to be a sacrifice.

Jesus made that sacrifice for all those who accept Him as saviour, by His death on the Cross. He also demonstrated God’s power over death and Lucifer by rising to life again.


Now, nearly two thousand years later, most of Judah still refuse to recognise the Messiah, but Righteous Israel – those who love God and follow in His ways – await their redemption. Soon the Promised Land will be cleared of all wicked peoples, Jer. 12:14, and His Christian people will gather in it with great joy and gladness. Isaiah 35:10.

HOW IT IS - and will be soon.

It is obvious to anyone who looks at the situation in the Middle East, that there is nothing man can do that will resolve it. 74 years of overt and covert conflict and now Iran threatens with nuke missiles.

God will use people’s actions and His creation to achieve His purposes, as in the past, so according to Bible prophesy: At the point of attack, God will intervene by instigating a Coronal Mass Ejection (solar flare) that will badly affect the world, but will particularly devastate the Middle East. Psalms 21:9, Isaiah 30:26, Psalms 50:1-4, Zephaniah 1:14-18

It is clear, from all the graphic descriptions that this will be a terrible devastation and the result will be to virtually depopulate the entire Middle East. Ezekiel 30:2-5

It will be the many Prophesied; Day of the Lords vengeance and wrath. Isaiah 63:1-6, Isaiah13:1-13, Isaiah 24:1-13, Zephaniah 3:8 and:

Malachi 4:1 The Day comes, burning like a furnace. All evildoers will be as stubble.

Isaiah 66:15-16 The Lord coming in fire... many will be slain by Him.

Isaiah 9:18 The land is scorched by the Lord, the people are fuel for the fire.

Ezekiel 29:45-48, Hebrews 10:27, 2 Peter 3:7 It is also the Sixth Seal judgement as described in Revelation 6:12-17 & Jeremiah 4:25-29, Isaiah 2:12-22


Many prophecies tell of the final judgement of Judah: Jeremiah 7:20 I will pour out My anger on Judah, man and beast, trees and crops, they will burn unquenched. Amos 2:4-5

Psalms 83 describes very well how the State of Israel’s enemies plot against them, and what will happen to them. Also Micah 4:11-12

A remnant of Judah will survive in Jerusalem. Isaiah 29:1-4, Isaiah 6:11-12, Zechariah 13:8-9, Romans 9:27


Then; Ezekiel 36:8 But you, Land of Israel, put forth your branches and yield fruit for My people, [Righteous Christian Israelites] for their homecoming is near. Zechariah 8:11-13, Amos 9:13-15

All of the Lord’s faithful people will be gathered into the Land. Isaiah 66:18-21, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26

The Lord will test His people and only the true faithful Christian believers will settle in the Promised Land. Ezekiel 20:35-38 I shall make you pass under the rod...of Judgement. [Isaiah 1:24-28] Once again, I shall act against you, to purge away all your impurities. God’s people, [the Christian Israel of God, Galatians 6:16] will settle and become prosperous in a blessed and fertile land. John sees them there: Revelation 7:9

Ezekiel 39:25-29 The Lord says; now I shall restore the fortunes of Jacob (now spiritual Israel, by faith and not ethnicity. Galatians 3:26-29) They will forget their shame and unfaithfulness when they live once more safely in their homeland. When I gather them from all the lands, they will be an example to the nations of My Holiness. They will acknowledge Me as their God, when they all return to their Promised Land. I will no longer hide Myself from them, I who have poured out My Spirit upon them.


After they are settled and prosperous, Ezekiel 38:10-12, God will motivate the leader (Gog, of Rosh, Meshech & Tubal= modern Russia) of a Northern alliance to prepare for war and attack the new nation of Beulah, in all of the holy Land; from the Nile to the Euphrates. Isaiah 62:1-3

God will destroy the entire army with fire, earthquakes and causing them to fight each other. Ezekiel 38 & 39

Joel 2:20 I shall remove the Northern peril far from you and banish them into the desert. Half of the army: by the Mediterranean and the other half by the Dead Sea.
The stench and foul smell from them will rise up. He has done great things!

This He will do in order to; Ezekiel 39:21-22 ... display My glory to the nations... From that day forward, the Israelites [Gods holy Christian peoples, from every tribe, race, nation and language] will know that I am the Lord their God

Note: that the Lord will make Himself known to His righteous people, after His Day of wrath, 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 14:1, but not by His presence until His Return in glory at the commencement of His Millennial reign.

HOW IT WILL BE
After the armies of the Northern alliance are destroyed, the people of the new nation of Beulah [Isaiah 62:1-5] will send out teams to collect the dead. They will be buried in the valley of Wadi al Mawjib, East of the Dead Sea. This will take seven months, then seven years is needed to finally clear up all the debris of the army.

This tremendous defeat of a very large and well equipped modern army, will have dramatic repercussions. On top of the already huge disruptions caused by the previous world wide devastation – food and oil shortages, economic crisis, refugee problems, etc. The world’s leaders will meet and the most logical way to address all the issues, is to form a One World government. Daniel 7:23-24, Rev 17:12-13. Initially ten rulers will share the authority, but after a while, they will confer their power onto one man.

The President of this World Alliance will be a strong leader and he will eventually take dictatorial powers over it. Daniel 11:21

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, construction of the Third Temple will be completed. Zech 6:15

Twelve thousand missionaries will be selected from each of the twelve tribes of the Christian peoples and they will go out in pairs to every people group in the world to preach the gospel of Gods Kingdom to come. Isaiah 66:19, Revelation 7:3-8


Beulah will not join the One World government, but in order to maintain peaceful relations, Beulah will sign a seven year peace treaty with them. Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:32

After 3½ years, the world leader will be assassinated, but his body will be taken over by Lucifer. Rev. 13:3-4 He will come to Beulah and establish worship of himself in the Temple. Matthew 24:15 So, when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ standing in the Holy place....

Daniel 7:25 He will defy the Most High and will persecute the holy people of God. They will be in his power for 3½ years. Rev 13:9-10. In Rev 12:6, it says that there will be a place of safety for some of Gods people. Daniel 11:32b, Matthew 24:15-21.

During this last 3½ year period, the Great Tribulation will cause terrible destruction and deaths around the world. Matthew 24:22

Revelation- the seven trumpet and the seven bowls of God’s wrath poured upon the earth

Culminating in the Battle of Armageddon – Revelation 16:16.


That is when the Lord Jesus will return to the earth in His glory and destroys those armies in His mighty power. Rev. 19:15 & Zechariah 14:3-5. Lucifer (Satan) will be chained and imprisoned and Jesus will rule the world for 1000 years. Then, Satan will be released for a short time. He will seduce the nations and will muster them for war, the countless hosts of armies from around the world. They will lay siege to Gods City. Fire comes down from heaven and cremates them all. Satan is thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:7-9.

The Great White Throne judgement of all people and angels. Revelation 20:11-14, Daniel 7:9-10

THEN comes Eternity!
