SHEEP AND GOAT NATIONS

 

 

 



Armies of the Beast Defeated - Rev 19.19-21Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

This appears to be the Beast and the kings of the earth’s armies being defeated by the Lord. There should be many people in all the nations who have been locked up in camps, etc who are not involved physically in this battle. Only the armies of nations have been fighting. The nations are now ushered into the millennial kingdom and given a chance to be learn to love Yeshua during the millennium.


Our jobs as kings and priests are to teach the nations about Yeshua. Ezekiel’s millennial temple is one of the teaching “tools” used to show the nations the great sacrifice Yeshua paid for them. After a thousand year period when Ha-Satan is released many of them are deceived, rebel and are cast into the lake of fire. The dead are then judged at the Great White Throne.


Ha-Satan Locked Up - Rev 20.3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

Ha-Satan is locked up in the Abyss so that he can no longer deceive the nations. Now God will show the nations that even without Ha-Satan they will in the end rebel against God. In the meantime those who have been resurrected at the Lord's return in Rev 19 are teaching and governing the nations about God's law and government.


The Judgment of Ha-Satan - Rev 20.7-15 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth —Gog and Magog —and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves (Jerusalem). But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.


The Judgment of the DeadThen I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Nation Scriptures in Revelation: 2.26-29; 5.9; 7.9; 11.9; 11.18; 12.5; 13.7; 14.6; 14.8; 15.4; 16.19; 17.15; 18.3; 18.23; 19.15; 20.3; 20.8; 21.24; 21;26; 22.2 Numerous in the OT not here.


Nations ruled with a rod of iron indicate rebellious nations. Those people who survive, but did not fight in the Armageddon battle, are the nations taught in the millennial kingdom. All true believers in Jesus for the past two thousand years qualify as priests who rule and reign with Christ in the millennium. Many past believers were truly dedicated to and loved Yeshua as much, if not more, than we do. Many were martyred as missionaries, as proclaiming the truth, printing Bibles in common languages, etc. We cannot, at this point in our walk, hold a candle to them. We are not special in the light of the past, only in the revelation of the present time in which we live.


Think of Rees Howells and his obedience to the Lord or William Tyndale, martyred for printing Bibles, or all those who immigrated to America to freely worship. There is a great host of witnesses who never knew much of Hebrew roots but have served the Lord. He is not against us is for us. They are going to receive great rewards.


Common sense tells us there will be people surviving the end time who did not participate in the final battle. The world is too large. The people of the nations that survive will receive and opportunity to learn of Yeshua in the Millennial Kingdom. The saints or believers of past ages will all be priests teaching in the millennium. They will be teaching the nations along with us for a thousand years.

We do not go to heaven and live in bliss. We are resurrected at the end of the age and participate in the thousand year millennial reign of Yeshua! Paul said, "those who are asleep in Christ will arise first." We are dead in the grave waiting for the Savior's return. Then the millennial kingdom (MK) begins and we rule and reign with Him.

I am listing only as a simple means of making my points clear--I know you understand things and am not trying to be cute.

1. The scriptures in 1 Cor 15 are talking about bodies, not minds. An exchange is an exchange. We are exchanging one type of body for another. The Holy Spirit used the right word. Key: mystery, all be changed, not all sleep. 1 Thess 4.13-18 are a second witness.

2. These believers are asking about those who have died because they think they will be alive when the Lord comes. Paul is telling them not to worry we are all going through the same exchange together. It makes no sense that those alive will be taught by those who just passed away. The word is eternal to each generation and means the same to each generation. 1 Thess 4.13

3. Romans 6.4-11 are pretty clear--we are dead in Christ. Spiritualize it if you will. It still allows for G-d not to be a liar--we are already dead. So we get the new glorified body in a twinkling. Col 3.3; 2 Tim 2.11 G-d has not lied...all die once.

4. The armies of the beast are the armies of the beast Rev 19.19-21. As in any conflict all the world will not be present at Armageddon--but those who are are wiped out, or should I say "smoked"! The people left in the world will be the nations true believers will be teaching in the millennium. We destroyed Germany and Japan in WW2 but people remained.

5. The O.T. referrences to nations mean Gentile unbelieving nations. They are coming to bow down, bring their wealth, and learn about the L-rd. All true believers throughout history will be teaching the nations. We are one new man, Hebrew roots, mainline true believers, DNA real Jew believers--we will reign and rule in various capacities based on the King's criteria. We are not teaching each other. Ezekiel's temple is a teaching tool for the nations to understand all Yeshua did for them. We are teaching and learning about God's Eternal Government in the MK.

6. After the 1000 years these nations will show their rebellious side and many of them will turn away. G-d will be showing man that even without Satan they rebel--their hearts are wicked. Then after the White Throne judgment the New Jerusalem comes down and is eastablished.

7. Then we see in Rev 21 the saved nations that did not rebel come to the New Jerusalem. vv 21-27. There is no unclean at this point, all rebellion has been crushed, and the L-rd is the temple.

8. Rev 22.2 shows the trees for the healing of the nations. We have come full tree circle. The universe is next to be restored by Yeshua's servants. That is another story!
