Peter tells the truth for our days: A letter to the peoples of God, scattered around the world: Praise to God and to our Lord Jesus for the hope of salvation and for the protection of His power. Be joyful, although you may have to suffer for a little while, as you pass through the assayers fire. Since Christ endured bodily suffering, you too must expect this judgement as the end of all days is upon us [you Christians], but do not be taken aback by the fiery ordeal which has come to test you as though you did not know it was coming. All that has happened concerning Jesus, confirms for us the messages of the prophets, which you will all do well to take seriously. What they say has been given to us by the Holy Spirit and interpretation is by comparing scripture with scripture. Just as in the past there were false prophets and teachers, so it is now. Those who have misled My people will suffer dire punishment. 2 Peter 2:1-3 Note this: In the last days scoffers will come, they will mock and say: ‘What happened to His promised coming? Nothing has changed as yet’. They forget how God destroyed all the wicked peoples in Noah’s day and now the world is reserved for burning and again the godless will be destroyed. The great Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath will come unexpectedly, with the heavens tearing apart, flames will envelope the earth and with a loud noise ALL the earth will be brought to judgement. In expectation of this, do your best to be found at peace with God. Friends: you have been warned, take care that you do not be taken in by wrong theories and false teachings, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be all the glory! Ref: R.E.Bible 1 & 2 Peter, condensed.

Who are the people that will re-inhabit the holy Land after all that area is cleared and cleansed by the Day of the Lord’s wrath? Zephaniah 1:1-18, Ezekiel 30:1-5, + The true Israelites of God, those who come to live in the new country of Beulah, [Isaiah 62:1-5] cannot be those who are apostate or of any sort of deviant personality. But there must be many left alive in the world who will credit the terrible Day of the Lord’s wrath to a natural event and continue on in their disbelief of a Creator God. They will form a One World Govt, as prophesied. Rev 13 Ezekiel 20:37-38 is the best scripture that tells how the Lord will gather all His people, then judge them and those who ‘revolt and rebel’, will not enter the Land. Jeremiah 5:26-29, Isaiah 66:19b-21 Amos 9:10…the sinners of My people will die by the sword… Isaiah 65:11-12 Isaiah 35:8-10…no one unclean will travel along the ‘Way of Holiness’ into Zion. Romans 9:24-26 You Christians are My people and in the same place as Israel was rejected, you shall be called Children of the Living God. As we see in Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7, it is the ‘holy ones of the Most High’ who are present in the Land during the end time events.

What John sees is not in heaven. They are the survivors of the Sixth Seal, gathered into the Holy Land. Jesus will be revealed to them as He selects the 144,000. The Prophecy in Revelation 7:15-17 is about the Eternal state, which comes after the Millennium. Proved by Rev 21:4...He will wipe away every tear..... All of what John saw, was a vision. ..to show His servants what must soon take place. Soon, as in Gods timing. In no way can Johns and Pauls trips to heaven, be taken to support a 'rapture to heaven' of the Chruch. We must remain and endure until the end.

The Iranian mullahs either have or will very soon have nuclear weapons. This reality is horrifying in the context of the Iranian leadership’s fantasy of annihilating Israel. The inspiration for this comes from their god, who is none other than Satan. This vision involves the Islamic Shi-ite belief in the return of the Hidden 12thImam, who is the awaited Mahdi of the Muslims. He is one of two eschatological figures in Islamic theology, the other being Jesus. Al Mahdi means “the rightly guided one” and is portrayed as coming before the end times to make the entire world Muslim. Muhammad said that the Mahdi “will fill the earth with justice as it is now filled with oppression”. This hidden Imam is, according to Islamic tradition, due to re-appear after a period in which the Muslims suffer great persecution and calamity. It is within the realm of possibility that the Iranian leadership is thinking that they can hasten the coming of the Imam Mahdi by bringing about an increase of what they would regard as oppression of the Muslims – ”oppression” that would in reality be Israel’s defensive response to an Iranian attack. The Shi-ite Muslims especially, believe that for as long as the Mahdi remains hidden, the world will stay apostate. They are fixated on the end times and are on the constant lookout for signs of his return. This obsession shapes their life, culture and politics and as can be seen by their speeches, their approach to world affairs. Now, in 2025, the Iranian leadership is desperate; their currency is worthless and the citizenry are in revolt. They see their only chance to retain control, is to have a victory over Israel and America. They WILL attempt it; they have to! Bible Prophecy says what will happen:. Ezekiel 7:14 …all are ready for war, but no one goes to the battle, for My wrath is upon all of them. Over 100 Prophesies describe this terrible Day the Lord will arise and destroy His enemies. It will be triggered by Iran attempting to fire nuke missiles at Israel, with the result as Psalms 7:12-16 and Jeremiah 49:35-37, describe.

No it isn't, Rev 7 just says that God and heaven can be seen by earth people. The great multitude of people from every tribe, race, nation and language, are the Christian peoples who have just experienced the shocking Sixth Seal disaster. They are in the Holy Land and Jesus is revealed to them. Rev 14:1, 2 Thess 1:6-10 Be very careful with 'out of body' experiences. Satan has fooled many with this.

This belief is a childish assumption, which does not conform to reality. God and heaven are a spiritual concept. Not physical, not having to be placed in a physical location. We know God does allow people to see His Thrine on the earth; Ezekiel 1:1, Acts 7:56 Revelation 7, is an instance of this.

God’s Holy People in the Last Days: Isaiah 62:1-12... ..They will be called the holy people; the Redeemed of the Lord. Daniel 8:23-26 In the last days, when sin is most prevalent, a powerful leader will arise. He will succeed in whatever he does, and will take control of the mighty nations and of God’s holy people. By cunning and deceit, his plans will come about and cause great harm to many when they least expect it. He will challenge even the Prince of Princes, but then will be broken, but not by human hand. This prophecy tells of events to happen in the distant future. Daniel 7:23-25 The explanation given is: There will be a 4th kingdom, one that will encompass the whole earth. Initially ten rulers will govern it, but another leader will take over all this kingdom. He will defy the Most High God and will conquer the holy ones of God. Revelation 13:7 The ‘beast’ is allowed to wage war on God’s people and to defeat them…. Vividly described in Zechariah 14:1-2 Daniel 11:32 By plausible promises he will win over those who will violate the Covenant, but some will resolutely keep their faith. The Covenant here, is the one between God and His people, for their protection. The treaty, the 7 year peace agreement of Daniel 9:27, is between the Leader of the One World Govt, and the leaders of the Christian nation of Beulah. It will be broken by the leader of the OWG after the first 3 1/2 years. Daniel 11:31 These Bible prophesies are proof that God’s holy people, His chosen elect people; all those true born again Christian believers; the One people of God, Ephesians 4:4-6, are not removed from the earth, as some would like to think, but are present in the holy Land during the last few years of this age. As we see in Daniel 11:32, Zechariah 14:2b, they divide into two groups, one remaining in the holy Land and the other goes away. Revelation 12:6-17 again shows these two groups; the faithful ones who refused the peace treaty with the leader of the World Govt, taken to a place of safety and those who did agree with the treaty if Death; Isaiah 28:14-15, they must remain. Revelation 12:17 The fact of all the righteous Christians living in all of the Holy Land, before the Return of Jesus, is well prophesied in all of the Bible. Many do not see it because of false teachings and not comprehending the truth of how Christians are now to be the recipient’s of the promises of God, given initially to ethnic Israel, but now available to all true believers. 2 Corinthians 1:20 We Christians look forward to being at last the people God has always wanted in His holy Land. That is our promise and our great privilege; to be alive to participate at this critical time of mankind’s history. What I pray all will do, is see the real truth of what actually will happen. Don’t people realize what a joke the rapture to heaven theory is? And Satan is delighted at how Christians argue over whether it going to be pre, mid or post!!!!!!! For all of our lifetimes, this issue has been discussed, argued over, even fought over. Innumerable books, movies, etc, are made about it and still no consensus about when it could happen. There is no Bible verse that says God will take living people to heaven, but those who promote a rapture say; It is there, you just can't see it! Sorry, I can't see it because it isn't there! There is a huge deception going on here. People have believed false teachers, Paul said they would. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 And God has allowed those wolves to ravage His flock. So most of the Church is not aware of what God really does plan for our future. They are complacent and careless, which means when the hard times come, they won't have the strength of faith to stand firm. Luke 21:34-36 And don't think ‘escape all these things’, means a rapture, because that idea is pure assumption and conflicts with scriptures as above. It means protection, as many Prophesies confirm.

All Israelites in the holy Land: NOT the Jewish Israelis! Why do people not see the Bible as absolutely clear on the truth of the Lord's holy peoples being in the holy Land before the Return? Consider Daniel 7:23-25, paralleled by Revelation 13:7, where God's people are defeated by the armies of the Anti-Christ. Where does this happen? We are told in Revelation 11:1-8...in the Holy City, where the Lord was crucified. Zechariah 14:1-2 and Daniel 11:29-35, also describe this 3 1/2 year period of traumatic testing for the people of the Lord, WHO ARE IN THE HOLY LAND AT THAT TIME. Revelation 12:1-17 is very informative and gives more details of this 3 1/2, 42 month or 1260 day period: that chapter tell us that Satan will be thrown out of the spiritual realm and will come to earth, his angels with him. He pursues the 'woman', that we know must refer to all righteous Christian Israel. Israelites as per Galatians 3:26-29. They are at that time; living in peace and prosperity in the holy Land, as many prophesies describe. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26, + The new nation of Beulah. Isaiah 62:1-5 The 'many' who had agreed to a peace treaty with the Anti-Christ, the leader of the One World Government, Daniel 9:27, are those who remain in the Land, Revelation 12:17. But those who refuse to agree with that treaty, referred to as the Treaty of Death; in Isaiah 28:14-15, will leave the holy Land and be taken to a place of safety, where they will be looked after for 1260 days, in a place prepared by God. Revelation 12:6 & 14 This division of the holy peoples, is also Prophesied in Zechariah 14:1-2 and Daniel 11:32 These are Biblical truths, proving the many prophesies about the great Second Exodus of all the Lords people, from every tribe, nation, race and language, Revelation 5:9-10, that will happen before the Return of Jesus. Then, He will destroy those conquerors of the holy Land, along with the rest of those gathered by Satan, Revelation 16:14, and bring all His people back to Jerusalem, Matthew 24:31, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 That this teaching is not known to most Christians, is how God wanted it to be. Matthew 11:25, Isaiah 42:18-20 But now as we are so close to the time of fulfillment, God is 'opening the eyes and unstopping the ears' of a few who are willing to put aside false teachings and really understand His Plans for our future. Jeremiah 30:24

More like a wild assumption, made to suit a false theory. The great multitude in Rev 19:1-8, are the Christian martyrs, all those killed from Stephen. Proved by how God takes vengeance for them . The fact is: heaven is not mentioned in Rev 7 at all. Rev 7:1-14 will take place soon after the Sixth Seal depopulation of the Holy Land, Zephaniah 1:14-18, the happened and the Holy Christian peoples have gathered there. Jesus will be revealed to them; Revelation 14:1, 2 Thess 1:6-10 Rev 7:15-17 is a Prophecy about the Eternal state, as Rev 21 describes.

You just added two words to scripture. Bad you. Revelation 7 never mentions heaven. Revelation 7:1-3 sets an earthly location and is nowhere said to change location.

I could write a book on this too. Oh yes I have! Free to read on my website. However, it just seems now that we all have different opinions about what God has planned for His people in the end times. Be ready and prepared to stand firm in your faith thru it all.

Jesus came to save the lost people of Israel. Did He fail; because the Jews still continue in their rejection of Jesus as Messiah? No, because He referred to the lost Northern tribes of the House of Israel, NOT the apostate House of Judah. THEY have accepted the Gospel and THEY follow the rule of Christianity. Jews today still have the chance to become Christians. The Israel of God in the New Testament: God’s work with and the development of His people, all faithful Israelites in the Old Testament is continued in the New Testament. Those who presumed that ancestry gave them privileges were chastened. John the Baptist’s strong language indicates how seriously God viewed their pride and arrogance. John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. Luke 3:7-9 Jesus gives a similar warning to those who were trying to trap him: Abraham is our father, they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do the things Abraham did”. John 8:39 Jesus goes even further in Matthew 8 when he praises the faith of a Gentile Roman Centurion: I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. Matthew 8:10 Jesus then goes on to make a prediction: I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But those who were born to the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 8:11-12 Here Jesus is warning his Jewish hearers that unless they recognize him as their Messiah they will be excluded from the Kingdom. This is how we are to understand Paul when he specifically uses the expression: Israel of God in Galatians 6:16. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God. Galatians 6:16 For those who hold to a rapture to heaven, they have to think Paul is referring to Jews, or at least Christian Jews, but this flies in the face of everything he has said in the first five chapters of this letter. In Galatians 3:23-29, Paul says we are saved by God’s grace and justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Paul is emphatic - people are not saved by ethnicity , by circumcision, by offering animal sacrifices or by keeping the Law of Moses. In Galatians 4:21-31, those who follow Jesus, are likened to the free children of Sarah. Those seeking to be justified by the Law have been alienated from Jesus and are likened to the children of Hagar. Quoting Genesis 21, they will, he warns: never share in the inheritance…. Paul speaks of our freedom in Christ and our new life in the Holy Spirit. He contrasts living by the Spirit with living by our sinful nature. See what Paul is saying? We have a choice – grace or law, faith or works? When Paul writes: Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, [and or even] to the Israel of God, he is obviously referring to all the followers of Jesus who have rejected the legalists who wanted to impose circumcision and the keeping of the Torah Law. John Stott provides one of the best explanations of this verse: ‘All who walk by this rule’ and ‘the Israel of God’ are not two groups, but one. The connecting particle: ‘kai’ should be translated ‘even’, not ‘and’, or be omitted, as in the RSV. The Christian church has a direct continuity with God’s people in the Old Testament. Those who are Christians today are the true circumcision - Phil. 3:3, ‘Abraham’s offspring’ Galatians 3:29 and ‘the Israel of God’. And don’t worry about the phrase ‘walk by this rule’ either. The Greek word ‘rule’ is kanon and simply describes a carpenter’s or surveyor’s plumb line. John Stott says, This is the ‘canon’ of Scripture, the doctrine of the apostles, and especially in the context of Galatians 6 the cross of Christ and the new creation. Such is the rule by which the church must walk and continuously judge and reform itself. In the closing sentences of this letter, Paul is quoting an ancient prayer he would have prayed all his life on the Sabbath. Known as the additional 19th benediction to the 18 benedictions, and based on the Aaronic blessing of Numbers 6:24-26, God is asked in the final prayer for ‘Peace… and mercy on us and all Israel: your people.’ Now Paul prays this blessing on the Jewish and Gentile Christian believers in Jesus for they are the ‘Israelites of God’.

@DeighAnn Remember that Gods ways are beyond our comprehension. What He did for Abraham; Genesis 18:17-19 The Lord said, “Your new name is Abraham and a great and powerful nation will come from you. All the other nations will wish to be blessed as they are.” “For I have chosen you that you may instruct your family and posterity in the ways of the Lord, by doing what is right and just, so that I will fulfil for My people all that I have promised.” What He is soon to do for the Christian peoples: Ezekiel 28:24-26 The Lord God says: When I gather the House of Israel from the nations among whom they are now scattered and I have been reverenced by them, as the nations will see, then they will live in their heritage, all of the Holy Land that I promised to My servant Jacob. They will have security there, building houses and planting vineyards, yes, they will dwell in confidence and safety, when I have executed My judgements upon all their contemptuous neighbours. They will no longer have to fear any threats from ungodly peoples around them and they will know that I am the Lord their God. KJV, CJB, REB. This short prophecy encapsulates the truth of what every righteous Christian can expect for their future. Sadly, not many can see this future, because of beliefs in false teachings and inability to discern the prophesies correctly. We know from New Testament teaching that Christian peoples now belong to the House of Israel, whether they are true descendants of Jacob or not. But in order for God’s promises to the Patriarchs to be fulfilled, the majority, now ‘scattered among the nations’, WILL, in fact, be their descendants. Only God knows who they all are. Amos 9:9 All of the Lord’s righteous Christian peoples will be gathered soon after ‘a Day of cloud and darkness’, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Ezekiel 20:34-38. That will be the many prophesied and well described - ‘Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath’, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster of fire from the sun, Malachi 4:1, 2 Peter 3:7, that will destroy His enemies, Isaiah 66:15-16 and enable God’s plan for His people to ‘display His glory for all the nations to see’, Ezekiel 39:27, to be fulfilled. Proving that all this will happen before the Return of Jesus for His Millennium reign. The people of the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, having passed through the ‘great ordeal’ of the Day of wrath, Luke 21:35, Revelation 7:1-17, will select their own leaders, Jeremiah 30:21, Hosea 1:11, they will build a new Temple, Zechariah 6:15, Haggai 2:6-9, they will send out 144,000 missionaries to proclaim the coming Kingdom of Jesus, Isaiah 66:19, and after all that is prophesied before the Return takes place, it is them; We Christians, who will say: ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord’!

As everyone today has some of Abrahams genes, Gods Promise to the Patriarch's will be fulfilled. But since Jesus came, the selection of who will receive those Promises, is by faith. Galatians 3:26-29 makes this absolutely clear.

Clear and undeniable! Ethnicity has NOTHING to do with who is a child of God. It is entirely by faith. And now we Christians are the heirs of God's Promises to His peoples. WE will inherit all of the Holy Land and in order to fulfil God's Promises to the Patriarchs, we will be divided into 12 groups, each named after a son of Jacob. Ezekiel 40 to 48

Psalm 149:1-9 Sing to the Lord a new song, sing His praises in the assembly of His loyal servants. Let the people of Zion exult in their Maker and King. For the Lord accepts the service of His people and crowns the lowly with victory. Let the high praises of God be on their lips and a two edged sword in their hand to deal vengeance on the nations and punish the heathen, as is decreed upon them. This is glory for all who obey the Lord. Every faithful Christian.

Luke 21:34-36 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. So do you believe this prophecy proves a 'rapture to heaven' of the Church? If so you are very deceived. What does verse 35 say? The Day of Wrath will come upon everyone. Verse 34 says we must be careful, or that Day will catch us unawares. Therefore; if we do carefully study and are aware of the signs, we can know that Day, or at least the season. But, either way, that Day will come and we will be here to experience it. Verse 35 says 'escape all these things'. This cannot mean a removal away from, as that is a direct contradiction of the previous 2 verses. What it does mean, is told to us in many prophesies, of the Lord's protection during that terrible Day. Isaiah 43:2, Psalms 23 & 91, Isaiah 30:26b, +

In Romans 11:28-32: it does say some of the Jewish people will receive God's mercy, despite their continued rejection of Jesus. Romans 9:27 There will be two main criteria for this: 1/ They must be actual members of the House of Judah. Not those who call themselves Jews, but are not. Revelation 2:9 2/ They must show true repentance and remorse, as Jeremiah 12:14-16 tells us:..... I will have pity on them [Judah] and bring them back to their Land, if they learn the ways of My People, [Christians] and swear allegiance to My Name. Note; the remnant Jews will be so ashamed of their errors, they will keep very quiet. Ezekiel 16:63 However; the main Christian peoples who will go to live in all of the holy Land after the Lord has cleared and cleansed it, will be descendants of the ten Northern tribes; the House of Israel, joined by every faithful Christian from every race, nation and language. Isaiah 66:18b-21, Revelation 5:9-10 This will fulfil God's promise to the Patriarchs, that their descendants will inherit the holy Land. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26

Jesus knew what would happen and He said that it was the lost sheep of Israel, the ten Northern tribes, who He was sent to save. Those who fondly imagine a Jewish Redemption, while they sit up in heaven, have a big surprise coming.

Who was it, then: that Jesus came to save? Matthew 15:24 If you wrongly believe Jesus came to save the Jews, He failed miserably.

The Shi-ite Islam religion of Iran, demands the destruction of Jewish Israel. They will attempt it, only to be destroyed by the Lord. The massive punishment He sends, will do away with all the Jesus hating peoples in all of the holy Land. Genesis 15:19

But now they have nukes and the means to deliver them. Desperation and humiliation will drive the Iranian leadership to attempt to nuke Israel. That will be their downfall and destruction. Jeremiah 49:35-37 But what the Lord will use to destroy Iran, will also depopulate the entire Middle East region. Zephaniah 1:14-18, Jeremiah 12:14 Do not doubt: we live in perilous times. Dramatic events are on the horizon. Our ONLY hope for help and protection thru this terrible time, is to trust the Lord and to rely on Him to protect us.

Unpleasant, untrue and unchristian comments. Bible Prophecy is quite clear about how the Christian Israelites of God will all gather and live in all of the holy Land. Isaiah 66:18-21, soon after the Lords Day of fiery wrath, Isaiah 66:15-17 Your 'smiles' are as fake as your beliefs.

Some people have a total disconnect between what the Bible Prophets tell us and what they imagine the end times to be. Many Prophesies say that what is coming will cause shock and awe. They tell us, in great detail how and when the Lord will take action - not descriptions in modern terminology and not dates, but with many details and indications of timing. Take Isaiah 30:26a for example: Nowadays, the sun is carefully observed, we have satellites around it and know about its 11 year cycle of sunspot activity. The ONLY explanation for; the sun shall shine 7 times brighter.... is an explosion on the suns surface. A Coronal Mass Ejection, which if earth directed, can severely affect us. Also: the moon shall shine as brightly as the sun.......;the reflection of this flash. I have promoted this truth for years, but have never has anyone accept it. One person grudgingly said it was possible! But that is how the Lord wants it to be. He has hidden His plans from the wise and learned. Matthew 11:25-26, and the foolish peoples listen to false teachers. Our faith will be tested and not being aware of what God intends to do, will be very disadvantageous to you.

I reject any false interpretations of scripture. This includes preterism. That is: making the Prophesies into past events. It looked like a rolled up scroll, but as scrolls do not fly thru the air and we are told it causes destruction, it isn't a scroll. I categorically reject your personal interpretation of Zechariah 5.
