( We Hold These Evident Biblical Truths) ( “Examining Significant Unconventional Truths” ) 1. The world isn’t going to end (as is claimed) anytime soon: What humanity is facing is a transition into a new age, (Revelation 11:15-19, Mark 13:14-22, Zechariah 14:1-21) There is to be yet another 1000 years of human civilization on Earth and an indeterminate period beyond that, (Revelation 7:14-15, Daniel 2:44, Daniel 7:14, 18 & 22-23, Isaiah 65 & 66, Zechariah 14:16) We must transition through a greatly troubled period, (Revelation 13:1-18, 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4, Mark 13:24-26, Matthew 24:4-31, Revelation 17:12) A whole new super-governmental dynamic is pending, (Daniel 2:35 & 44-45, Revelation 12:5, Revelation 19:1, 6 & 15, Luke 22:30 / Matthew 19:28, Isaiah 9:6-7) A whole new religious system is to be re-established, (Revelation 14:6-12, Revelation 15:3-5, Revelation 19:1-2, Revelation 20:1-3, 2nd Thessalonians 1:7-10) Christ and His Saints are to co-rule on Earth during the 7th millennium. (Revelation 20:4 & 6, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 3:21, Revelation 5:8-10) 2. The ‘Rapture’ (as it’s often called) will occur AFTER the tribulation: Significant and clear scriptures allow us to precisely identify the relative timing, (Mark 13:26-27, Matthew 24:9, 22, Revelation 11:15-19) There is to be ONE ‘Second Coming’, not two, (Matthew 24:29-31, 1st Corinthians 15:50-54) The pre-tribulation rapture scenario sets aside several key scriptures, (Mark 13:14-27, Matthew 24:9, Revelation 11:18) The (first) resurrection of the dead accompanies the true ‘second coming’. (1st Corinthians 15:50-53, 1st Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 11:15-18 & 20:5-6) 3. Those people not called during their lifetimes are not all ‘lost’ forever: There is a resurrection after the 1000 years that will remedy opportunity denied, (Revelation 20:5, Revelation 20:12, Ezekiel 37 (Request the 96-page Resurrections booklet)) Some were even purposefully deferred in having opportunity, (Romans 9:15-18, Romans 11:7-12, 2nd Corinthians 3:14 & 4:3-6) That later resurrection restores certain people to a physical existence, (Ezekiel 37:1-14, John 5:28-29, Rev. 20:11-12, Matthew 11:23-24, Luke 10:14, Luke 11:29-32, Matt. 12:41-42) The ‘books’ will then be opened to their understanding, (Revelation 20:12, Romans 11:25-26, Isaiah 66:, 2nd Corinthians 3:14-16, Daniel 7:9-10) Satan will be restrained during the 1000 year Millennial Age: (Revelation 20:1-3 & 7-10) ‘Final Judgment’ is deferred until well after the Millennium for specific reason, (Revelation 20:5, Romans 11:25-32, Revelation 14:14-20) The Apostle Paul and the NT explains what ‘Predestination’ really is. (Romans 11:12-26, John 6:44, Romans 8:27-30) 4. Heaven is not where God’s Called and Chosen are to spend all eternity: God’s True Saints will be resurrected from the dead at Christ’s Second Coming, (Revelation 20:4 & 6, 1st Thessalonians 3:13 & 4:14-17, Isaiah 65:17-25, 2nd Cor. 4:14) Death does not begin a conscious eternal ‘retirement period’ with nothing to do, (Matthew 24:45, Matthew 25:21, Luke 16:10, Revelation 2:26, 1st Corinthians 6:2, Luke 22:30 / Matthew 19:28) The Saints of the Most High God will co-rule in the Millennial Kingdom, (Revelation 20:4 & 6, Revelation 2:26, Daniel 7:18) After the Millennium, even God the Father will descend to the Earth, (Revelation 21:1-7, Revelation 21:3 & 10 & 22-23, Revelation 22:3-5, 1st Cor. 15:24-28) Once death is conquered, Christ will surrender His Kingdom to the Father! (1st Corinthians 15: 24-28) 5. The Moral Law is a vital component of the New Covenant: The Law is to be fully implanted in the hearts and minds of believers, (Hebrews 8:8-10, Jeremiah 31:31-34, 2nd Corinthians 3:3) Only the Ceremonial Law is suspended in this age, the Moral Law is not! (Romans 7:6-12, Hebrews 7:11-19, Revelation 22:14 & 3:10 & 14:12) Sin is the transgression of the Law, and all have sinned, (1st John 3:4, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Psalm 14:3 ) No amount of perfect Law-keeping can achieve remission of sins, (Romans 3:19-20, 2nd Corinthians 3:3-8, Hebrews 9:22) The Old Testament bears ample testimony of God’s Righteousness. (Romans 3:21, Luke 16:29-31) 6. The Jews are not the only descendants of the Ancient Nation of Israel: The nation split just after the reign of King Solomon, (1st Kings 12:16-24, the books of Kings present the separate dynasties of the two houses of Israel) The northern House of Israel was taken captive by the Assyrians first, (2nd Kings 17:18-24 & 30-31, 2nd Kings 18:9-13, 1st Chronicles 5:26, etc.) The southern House of Judah (the Jews) was taken captive by the Babylonians, (2nd Kings 25:1-11, Daniel 1:1-2, (2nd Kings 16:1-6 first occasion of the word “Jews”, at war against Israel)) The southern kingdom was allowed to return, the northern kingdom was not, (Ezra 1-2, 2nd Kings 17:23, Isaiah 49:12) The northern Kingdom, the House of Israel ‘lost’ their identities over time, (Forsaking the Commandments (Sabbathkeeping particularly) obscured their national heritage) Modern historians have identified the ‘Lost Ten Tribes’ modern descendents, (Steven M. Collins HYPERLINK israelite.info israelite.info Yair Davidy books:“The Tribes: Ephraim, Joseph” and “Lost Israelite Identity”) There is reason why religion doesn’t want to know Israel’s true and full identity, (It is admitted that “the Jews” are obligated to keep the Law. If true, then so would Israel be similarly obligated!) The two houses of Israel will finally be re-united after Christ’s return, (Ezekiel 37, Acts 1:6, Romans 10:21 & 11:6-27, ) 7. The God who dealt with Ancient Israel was not who WE know as “the Father”: The Father was unseen and unknown to the religious public prior to Christ’s day, (John 1:18, John 16:3, John 17: 25, John 5:37, Isaiah 9:6, 1st Corinthians 10:4, John 15:21) It was the Son’s prerogative and mission to ‘reveal’ His Father to humanity, (Matthew 11:27, John 14:6-8, Luke 10:22) There always were Two Beings from the Beginning, (John 1:1-2, Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:22, Exodus 34:5&6, Psalm 110:1) The Son was involved in a significant way in the Creation, (John 1:1-3, Genesis 1:27, Revelation 4:11, Colossians 1:16, Ephesians 3:9) The ‘Son’ was very much involved in the decision to leave His Glorified state, (Philippians 2:6-11, John 17:5) The Son was able to be manifested in both a ‘glorified’ and a ‘normal’ appearance, (Daniel 10:5-9 & 16-19, Exodus 33:11 & 18-23, Matthew 17:1-8 & Mark 9:2, Revelation 1:12-18) 8. The Seventh Day Sabbath has Past, Present and Future Significance: It was established as a memorial to Creation, honoring the Creator, (Genesis 2:1-3; Hebrews 4:4 & 10; ) The Early New Testament KEPT the seventh day Sabbath until the 4th Century, (research the Council of Nicaea; the Quarto Deciman Controversy) True Christians uphold its observance, in anticipation of ‘entering into His Rest’, (Hebrews 4: all; Colossians 2:17 ) When Christ returns, all humanity will be required to keep His Sabbaths, (Isaiah 66:22-23, etc; Revelation 14:6-7; Zechariah 14:16-21 ) The Annual Feast of Tabernacles pictures that seventh Millennial “Day”, (Zechariah 14: 16-21; Revelation 20: all.) 9. The Identity of the End-Time BEAST Power: (A Civil & Religious collaboration) Daniel 2 presents four successive world empires from ancient times, (Daniel 2:28-45 [ They are: Babylon / Medo-Persia / Greco-Macedonia / Rome ] ) Those four empires extend in succession from Daniel’s day to the Second Coming, (Daniel 2:34-35 & 44-45) Daniel 2:44 announces the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom of God on Earth. The prophecy begins with Nebuchadnezzar and ends with Christ’s Second Coming.) The Fourth Empire is to have undergone seven restorative periods, (Seven heads. (Come to a head seven times.) Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:10) [The “Holy Roman Empire”: Constantine / Justinian / Carolingians / Hapsburgs / Napoleon / Hitler-Mussolini / BEAST] Daniel 7 presents a detailed picture of the final (seventh) restoration, (Daniel 7:2-8 Three end-time Empires merge to become the Fourth. The seventh head involves ten collaborating monarchies. Ten Kings are to be restored to (crowned with) power to facilitate the rise of the BEAST. Revelation 17:12. These ten are to give their power into the BEAST system. Revelation 17:13 & 17.) A great Religious Beast, on behalf of the Dragon, empowers the Civil BEAST, (Daniel 7:8&11; Revelation 13:2, etc.) The whole world will (effectively) worship the blaspheming BEAST, (Revelation 13:4 & 8; Daniel 7:25-26; Revelation 17:8.) The Civil / Religious BEAST will briefly dominate the entire earth, (Daniel 7:23-24; Revelation 13:5-18.) The Ten Kings will come to despise the religious entity that created the BEAST, (Daniel 7:11-12; Revelation 17:16) That domination will fully end shortly after Christ’s Return in Power, (Daniel 7:25-27; Revelation 14:6-8) The Civil / Religious BEAST is, in another prophecy, the “King of the North”, (Daniel 11:5-45 Somewhere around v. 27 (or v. 29) the modern day prophetic repeat overlay comes into play. Christ affirmed this second prophetic re-application phenomenon in what He said in Matthew 24:15 & Mark 13:14.)
