Christ in Revelation - The Judge. (Part 1)

                                                                          The Judge                                   

When God the Father gives His Son the inheritance of the nations, (the scroll), Christ is also given the authority & power to execute the judgments written. He is their Judge.

                             

                                                                                 ChristJudge.jpg

 

`...the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,......the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, & has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.` (John 5: 22, 26 & 27)

 

Christ is the Chief Justice of Heaven`s supreme court. His decisions are final and beyond His verdict there is no other court of appeal. He exercises the final prerogative that is essential to judgeship; He is able to kill and to make alive.

`There is one Law-Giver, who is able to save and to destroy.` (James 4: 12)
 

The character of this righteous Judge is shown as the Lamb, (the one who did the Father`s will), standing on the heavenly Mount Zion. He is the victor over the enemy and pronounces the coming judgments – to life and to death. (Rev. 14: 1)


 

1. TO LIFE `Fear God and give glory to Him...` (Rev. 14: 7)
 

We read that there are those who have the victory over the beastly Global Leader, (antichrist). They give praise to the Lamb, saying that He is just and true in His ways, His judgments. These people are of Israel & the nations –

`They sing the song of Moses .....and the Lamb,....Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.` (Rev. 15: 2 – 4)

 

2. TO DESTRUCTION `Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city;...` (Rev. 14: 8)

 

Here are the two `fallen, fallen,` indicating the two aspects of the great city of Babylon that are judged. First is the religious council which headed up the apostate church and the various other religions of the world. The powerful Islamic Federation of 10 nations, (10 crowned horns), get rid of every aspect of those religions. (Rev. 17: 16 – 18)

The second area that is dealt with is the commercial activity of the great city. It housed everything from precious jewels to the precious souls of man. God judges it and everything in it is destroyed. The great city of Babylon, the centre of the Global Government, the final tower that man built to make himself as God, is fallen, utterly burned with fire. (Rev. 18: 9 – 19)

3. TO ETERNAL FIRE - `If anyone worships the beast.....he shall be tormented with fire...forever.` (Rev. 14: 9 – 11)
 

The final part of this demonic Global Government is the beastly Global leader, (antichrist) and his executor. They flee to Jerusalem before the fall of Babylon and control the world from there. People have to choose whether they will still follow this man, or will repent & turn to God. (Dan. 11: 41)

 

 

The earth is then ready to be reaped –

- Those to life, &

- Those into God`s great winepress, (Armageddon).

if we’re entering the 70th Week, then we should expect a gradual peace to begin dawning over the Middle East. We should see Israel being allowed to go back to her Temple sacrifices and many of our own religious leaders seduced by the AoC. Then, in 2010, it should all fall apart.

 there is no link to an update so i do wonder if he,.. cough.. did get it wrong. i do wonder whether any one is indeed qualified to join all the dots up regarding  the end time prophecy.

Hi mabel,

Thanks for the thoughts. Something to discuss. Now that person wrote that view about 2008, thinking the trib, was starting. Easy to see now that was wrong. As to joining all the dots, well...we have to have the right dots to start with, ay.

I believe the great misunderstanding that has misled people is - thinking there has to be a RRE, (Revived Roman Empire). They base this on a SYMBOL, yes a symbol & their interpretation of it. Scripture tells us we are not to base our understanding on one verse, but see it in relation to all the scriptures of that topic, (& God`s overall purposes).

The symbol is `the iron,` which in Daniel 2: 40 - 42 speaks of a 4th kingdom as strong as iron. Note it is a description & not the name of the kingdom. Then when the last kingdom is described it also is described as partly iron & partly clay. People jump to the conclusion that therefore the kingdoms are the same, or revived. However as you would note, the word `iron` is just a description & thus we need to read more scriptures on the topic.

BTW at the time of people thinking this view the EU was arising, so they started counting 1, 2, 3,.....10!!!! oops 11, 12,.....27 nations. And the person in that article mentioned fell into the same trap. And notice that that alliance is not any more.

Good discussing with you, Marilyn.

Oh mabel,

You so make my day with your great quips. :D Always have a fun time with you.

Now I have had very interesting discussions with people on that `symbol` thing, but they were too fixed in their belief to realise, I believe. The bottom line is that this topic - end times, is the last on God`s list (using your lingo) for us to come to clarification on. We are in the `tossed to & fro stage,` (Eph. 4: 14) but the Holy Spirit is guiding the Body into all truth & this last one is coming through. Even the short time I`ve been on Worthy, (3 years) I have noticed that there is a shift in thinking. 

So if you haven`t had a certain end time view before, then you come fresh to really see what is out our backdoors, (so to speak).

0k Marilyn thanks! its quite summat the end times, there are it seems a lot of jigsaw pieces to put into place still. i have no prior end time view other than in the past to give it wide berth as these proclamations  would come and go and then it would be revised or it would go deadly quiet.
