The people who "OVERCOME" will be teachers and instructorsin the Kingdom of God during the Millennium and also duringthe age of the Lake of Fire. Here is scripture to back upwhat has been said:Isa. 2:3,3 And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.Micah 4:2,2 Many nations will come and say, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.Mat. 28:19-20,19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. At the end of this Age...we will fulfill the Great Commission, which was a type of what Jonah did thesecond time God told him to preach to Nineveh.After Jonah's experience in the fish, God gave Jonah a second call to preach to Nineveh. This is prophetic of the second work of Christ and gives us the clearest view in the Scriptures of the purpose of the second coming of Christ. Jonah 3:1 and 2 says,1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,2 "Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you."This phase of Jonah’s ministry represents the second work of Christ, wherein the Great Commission is completed and all nations come under the rule of Jesus Christ. This second work must be done under the anointing of the Feast of Tabernacles, at which time the overcomers will be transfigured, putting on their "white garments," representing the righteousness of saints.Jonah was one of the few successful prophets in history, because he was a type of Christ in the capacity of His second work. Nineveh means “City of Fish,” and they worshipped the fish god. No doubt Jonah's experience made the Ninevites think that he was a prophet sent to them by their fish god.This is an amazing example of the sovereignty of God, for if Jonah had gone to Nineveh when first called to go, it is doubtful if the men of Nineveh would have repented at his preaching. But Jonah did not go until after his experience with a large fish.Since Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, which conquered and captivated Israel, Assyria is symbolized by the great fish. Hosea 8:8-9 says,8 Israel is swallowed up; they are now among the nations like a vessel in which no one delights.9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey all alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.Assyria represented the great fish, and Jonah represented Israel. In that the fish swallowed Jonah, so also would Assyria swallow up the House of Israel. Jonah knew that this would happen, and this was why he did not want to preach the Gospel to Assyria. He did not want them to repent, because he did not want God to have mercy upon that enemy nation. So he took a ship to Tarshish, and in so doing, he became a type of Christ in His first work.The second part of the sign of Jonah is prophetic of that which occurs AFTER the resurrection of the dead at the fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets. Jonah’s emergence from the belly of the fish (the heart of the earth) represents the resurrection of the dead at the last trumpet. He came forth bleached white (transfigured). He was then sent to preach the Gospel to Nineveh, representing all nations, including God’s “enemies.” When the world sees the manifestation of the sons of God, they will be converted in the age to come. By the way...Jonah's name means Dove.Logabe
