The revival, maybe this year.

It is believed God has given the church messages from different people. That the revival is to happen this year. If It don't happen, then sorry.

If we take an overview of the four gospels, Acts and the letters, a pattern emerges. In the gospels our Lord Jesus is received with amazement. AS His ministry takes root, resistance rises up and ends with Israel rejecting Him and He rejecting Israel before He is murdered. Acts stars with 3,000 saved in one city on one day and added to the Church at Jerusalem. It ends with Paul washing his hands of Jewish blood and the Church in Jerusalem "zealous for the Law". Paul's first letters corrected problems in the Churches as they grew, and his last letters were to call for individuals to overcome the fallen situation. The other writers wrote because belief in Jesus was waning.

Of the seven Churches in Revelation, five are rebuked, one has neither praise nor rebuked and one is praised but warned.

In 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-4 two signs are given to the Church of the Great Tribulation. 1. The man of sin is revealed, and 2. there is an apostasy. It is left to the reader to determine who "falls away" (lit. Gk.). The evidence is as follows; There are three peoples on this earth. 1. The Church of God, 2. Israel, and 3. the Nations. Israel and the nations reject Christ, worship idols, and have very low moral standards. They can fall lower, but they do not hold a high position. Only the Church has a high position from which they can "fall away".

Lastly, there is no revival of the Church predicted. The last four Churches of Revelation warn that they will be there when Christ COMES. Only one is praised by the head of the Church. The others were rebuked.

I can't find any reason to expect a revival.

ok yes, there might not be one then.

Something that did bother me about it, was it said, 'last chance'. I do know from the revelations, that there will be many chances for the world. There are many chances now, and they will have chances till the end.

Yeah, that's what think too, it's false.

What do you think about when Jesus said, not forgiven in this life, or the life to come. Do you think it's possible that some people who died with Jesus, might still have a chance to be forgiven in the life to come.

The original text says 

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this AGE, neither in the AGE to come (Matt.12:32).

The original word is "aion" meaning AGE or period of time in which God deals with men a certain way. So there is an "age" to come (Eph.1:21) and there are "ages" to come (Eph.2:7). This age is an age of grace and reconciliation. God wants to be reconcild with man so He allows Jesus to pay for our sins and extends the hand of reconciliation. The next age will be different.
1. Christ will force His Kingdom to rule on earth
2. Christ will restore Israel (Act.15:14-16, Dan.12:1-2)
3. Christ will make His most loyal servants co-kings with Him - that is, REWARD them
4. Christ will finish building His Church

At His coming, Christ will judge all the living. It is clear from the above 4 points that certain of the Church, Israel, and the Nations will need the most favorable report at their respective judgments. If you blaspheme the Man Jesus and repent you will be forgiven now, and for the next age. If you attribute evil to the Holy Spirit, you will be judged hard at the judgment and NOT be forgiven. In Matthew 12 the Jews had charged Christ that the power in Him, which came from the Holy Spirit, came from Beelzebub.

If you willingly insult Jesus, you can repent and be forgiven. If you attribute evil to God you will not be forgiven  - NOW ... AND the next age. You will probably notice that after that accusation by the Jews in Matthew 12, he denied His connection with Israel by denying His mother and brethren (Matt.12:46-50). We should all be careful who we criticize. He she might be acting by the Holy Spirit.
