Saints, I got a ton of questions this week from commenters on my blog, so I'm taking the time to print out my answers here and send it to everyone. I hope these bless and encourage you!
1. Based on what I read about the Seals and Trumpets in Revelation, does this mean more than half of the world population would be wiped out between the Second Seal (Red Horse of War) and Sixth Trumpet (Four Fallen Angels released from the Euphrates River to wipe out a third of mankind?
Yes, that's right. Let's say we have 8 billion people on Earth now. One-fourth is killed after the Second Seal is broken. That's 2 Billion people!, leaving behind around 6 Billion. Then are third is killed after the sixth trumpet, which ends up being another 2 Billion, leaving 4 Billion people left . However others could have died already from plagues, famines, etc.
2. For those who pass during the Tribulation but have not yet come to accept Jesus and also did not take the MOB, does this mean they will be permanently lost?
No. They will still be fully human and will still have a chance to accept Jesus during the millennial reign. Not until someone either takes the MOB or dies in a lost state, will they be lost forever.
3. For those who make it through the Tribulation, could luck somehow be involved since the advanced AI Beast surveillance system and demonic forces are enhanced and perfected to make it just about impossible to hide, escape, or avoid capture and execution, particularly if they refuse the MOB?
I would say not luck at all, but God's strength, grace, and miraculous intervention! God will still be active during the Tribulation. You should read my Guardians of the Saints Series!
4. Regarding the Bowls, are they mainly directed at people who took the MOB or is it at anyone who remains on Earth? Would those who did not take the Mark be subject to the judgments? I remember that the demon locusts from the Fifth Trumpet are directed to torture only unbelievers, is this true?
It is my belief that before God pours out the final Bowls of His Wrath, He will rapture any remaining Christians left on Earth, so yes, the bowls will fall on everyone left on Earth, whether they took the MOB or not. Yet, it seems some people will survive even these. Why? Because when we return with Jesus, there will be people who we rule and reign over with Him! See answer above to question 2
5. Do you think it would be a good idea that instead of warning people about the End Times, we should warn them not to trust the vaccine and the Singularity idea from Musk? I feel those are components that will make up the MOB, and hopefully they will remember our warning when that time does come and make the right decision, if they happen to remain post-Rapture.
First thing we need to tell people in these last days is the Gospel message! One way to do that is to point out how the Bible is coming true right before their eyes... and the digital currency and AI singularity is a great way to do that. You can point right to Revelation 13 and remind them it was written over 2000 years ago. But for the unsaved, the Gospel is the most important thing. Just sharing the Gospel releases spiritual power to help people get saved. If they get saved, warning them about the vaccine, etc.. won't matter. But for Christians who might be left behind.. yes, showing them these things would be a good idea.
Rapture Questions:
1. While the Tribulation is happening on Earth, will those who were Raptured be doing certain activities in Heaven aside from the joyful Feast with Jesus? Will it feel just like a party where people can socialize and mingle with sincerity and no judgment or disrespect? Will we also be able to meet with the apostles, saints, virgins, shepherds, and all the people in the Bible?
Yes, yes yes, and yes! We will first have the marriage supper of the Lamb and the festivities could go on for a long time. We will get to meet all the people from the Bible, plus all our ancestors and family members who have gone before us! Everyone will be loving and kind and respectful. As far as activities? Well, you'll be shown your new home and maybe even given a job to do.. something you love. Also we will have the Bema seat Judgement where we will each stand before the Lord and receive rewards based on what we did for Him while here on Earth
2. Since the Raptured will return with Jesus after the seven years, will it seem that time passes differently in Heaven? It could be like seven years on Earth feels like only a few hours in Heaven.
There is no time in Heaven.. so I have no clue what that will feel like! Guess we'll find out!
3. Would we be able to speak with Jesus about any loved ones who are experiencing the Tribulation on Earth? Would we be able to request that He still be willing to perform a miracle or divine intervention to save them before the Tribulation is over?
Yes, I believe so. We will have access to the throne room and access to Jesus. I'm sure He will reveal to us what people we knew on Earth are doing and how they are surviving. Our prayers for them will be all the more powerful up in Heaven because we can ask God anything right to His face!
4. I read that only “God’s own” will see him in the clouds - does this mean that only the few Chosen for the Rapture will hear the Trumpet and see Him while the rest of the world are left wondering what in the world just happened?
Not sure about that. The Bible doesn't say whether non-believers will see Jesus in the clouds when He comes to take His Bride. (Yes, they will see Him when He returns in the Second coming) Some pastors say the entire world will see Him and hear the Trumpet and others say no.. it's a secret event.
Millennium Reign Questions:
1. I read there will still be normal humans living usual lives during the Millennium Reign, but since they do not have glorified bodies, does this mean they will still grow old and eventually pass as it is on Earth? Would this also apply to their children as well or would their case be different since God views children as pure and innocent?
Yes, they will grow old and naturally die. However the Bible tells us that they can grow as old as 1000 years just like the early humans did in the Bible. Why? Because Jesus is ruling over Earth and everything is made perfect and righteous like the Garden of Eden. Any natural children will also grow old and die. However those who receive Jesus as their Savior and trust in Him.. once they die, they will automatically get their glorified bodies and be eternal!
2. Will there be still be active everyday entities during the Millennium? As in schools, banks, playgrounds, etc all in session? Does this mean it will feel just like living on Earth again, but only with truly pure hearted people around and hardly any sin and evil, right?
Yes, I do believe there will be many of the things we are accustomed to here on Earth. Except everything will be flourishing under Jesus's rule. Nature will come back to life! No pollution, no weeds, no droughts or storms, etc. Cities will be clean and crime-free. Sin will still be present but only in those who are still human and haven't died yet. But sin will be dealt with immediately by our Lord. And by us, because Scripture says we will be ruling with Him. Just think of everything good and beautiful here now.. music, concerts, art, vacations, good food, etc.. it will all be here on Earth under Jesus's Rule. In fact, animals won't even eat each other anymore. The Bible says the Lion will lie down with the lamb.
3. For those who make it in the Rapture and receive glorified bodies, does this truly mean that we will live forever, as in through the 1000 years and forever and beyond in the New Jerusalem? That is the best gift that God had promised, the gift of eternal life :D
Yes! Eternal. Forever. We cannot die. We cannot sin. We cannot age.
4. Will there still be travel in Heaven, as in driving, flying, sailing, etc? Or we will mainly be walking since I have seen most depictions of Heaven to be lush green gardens and fields with clean water and sunlight?
In Heaven? I have no idea. The Bible doesn't say much about it. But in our glorified bodies, we may be able to transport ourselves anywhere we want. See below.
On Earth in the Millennial Reign
When Jesus was in His glorified body, He could transport Himself anywhere He wanted on Earth. He could even walk through walls. So, I imagine we will be able to do the same. If we want to go to Paris.. we just think it and we are there instantly. But humans will probably have to use conventional methods of transportation.
If any of you who know your Bible have something to add, please do so in the comments! It's a great discussion.
Greeting Precious Daughter of the Most High God,
ReplyDeleteYes this is a great discussion. Thank you for doing this MaryLu. I am in line with all of this.
I have always thought, and I dont really have any scripture to back this up, that after the wedding supper, and we meet all our loved ones that there might be a time of, training to prepare us for our work during the millenial ? I do remember a scripture; 1 Cor 13: Love
…11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. 12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.…
I know that we shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye. But I'm not sure we will just all of the sudden just know everything?
I heard a trusted Pastor talk about this. He said, people in his church asked; if we just know everyhting, and can do everything, wont we get bored in Heaven ? He laughed, and answered; God is so big we have only grasped the hem of His garment here. I dont think we will just instantly know everything. I think it will take us an eternity to so just from Eph 3: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now we know that this was Pauls prayer for believers on earth. But even when we see Him face to face will we comprehend the totality of God ? I dont know. Ther is another script which say's if all that Jesus did while He was on the earth were written down, the whole world could not contain it all ! Maybe there will be the worlds biggest library in heaven. And maybe some of your books will be there MaryLu :)
I do believe that the earth will be restored to the time where Adam and Eve walked in total peace and harmony with all of God's creations.
So here's a question; will that come during the millenial or in the New Jerusalem ?
Blessings Sister
Hi Joe, Yes, I love your theory... and I believe it could be true. The Scriptures don't tell us, but it would be kinda dull if we had nothing left to learn! We certainly won't know everything about God... that will take an eternity! Either way, we will not be bored!! No way.
DeleteAs far as the Earth being restored to the Garden of Eden, I believe that will occur partially during the millennial reign. But we have no idea what a new Earth will look like after that. Will it be different from this one or much the same? Only God Knows. Whatever it looks like or is like, it will be beyond our wildest dreams! Blessings!
Interesting responses to these questions - now every viewer of this post can have some of their long-time questions answered and be reassured all will forever be pure in eternity. The best part is that we get to be reunited with loved ones and also get a chance to personally speak with the Lord whenever we want!
ReplyDeleteFor your response to the last question regarding transportation, does that mean there will still be driving present but only for those in non-glorified bodies, while we the transformed ones could go about anywhere with just a thought? If driving is still present, wouldn’t that still bring the risk of pollution, which may contradict the intent of the Millennium Reign to be free of all things impure?
And does it mean that in the New Jerusalem, it will only be people with glorified bodies and no more driving or flying, but the active entities (schools, banks, businesses, etc) may still be present but completely holy and ethical (as in no corruption within)?
I was thinking that since the First Seal/White Horse represents the Antichrist coming to power, could that just be when he signs the covenant or sometime not long after? I am interested in knowing if we may be here to witness that or are already Raptured beforehand. I am hoping it is the first!
Since some of our calendars here show that major Jewish dates (Passover, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, etc) happen “at sundown” due to Israel being 10 hours ahead of America, does it mean that it could be nighttime here when the Rapture happens? That would be the early hours of dawn or the morning in Israel, and the afternoon in Israel would be like prior to sunrise or the early morning in America? I read that Jesus was crucified probably in the afternoon like at 3 PM or so, but I am not sure if it has a bearing on the time since no one will ever know the hour, not just the day. I do not know if the Rapture could happen while some of us are just getting ready for bed or are already sleeping either.
I am so eager to go home that I thought of asking this, despite knowing it is not possible to know.
First major date of this week regarding High Watch for the Rapture is Wednesday, July 23, based on articles I have read about it being another special harvest time. Another is July 28-30, with the two-state solution conference on the 28th and 29th (hopefully that is preparing for the Daniel Covenant), and the 30th, which is 40 days before the next blood moon on September 7/8, since blood moons are bad omens in Israel. If those pass, then the last one may be September 22/23, which is when that next UN Conference takes place just before Rosh Hashanah. Do you think this meeting could finally see the signing of the Covenant? I am hoping the Rapture will have happened by then or before.
I do not want to think about this, but if we are still here by end of September, then does that mean October may be the last hope for this year? Anything after would fall into 2026, which I do not want to imagine what it would be like in view of how much evil is taking ahold of just about everything.
Blessings and Come Quickly Lord Jesus!
Greetings! You ask a lot of questions I can't truly answer...because the Scripture does not really tell us. We can make guesses based on what little we know. As far as people not in glorified bodies here on Earth, yes, I imagine they will have to use other modes of transportation, but they won't be polluting at all. I'm sure the Lord can create a car or train or plane that does not pollute the atmosphere.
DeleteYes, in the New Jerusalem.. only redeemed saints will live living normal lives and preforming the tasks the Lord gives us to do. No corruption or sin whatsoever
Yes, the first seal and first horse is the antichrist. Scripture says he has a bow, but if you look up the meaning of the bow, it can mean covenant. I do not think we will be here for the signing because that kicks off the Tribulation and Paul says we leave before the AC is revealed. But time will tell!
If all Saints are raptured at the same time, some will be at night and some during the day, depending on where they live. However, if some are raptured first and then Jesus circles the Earth to pick up His kids as He goes, it could be a different time for others. We don't know.
Yes, all those dates you mentioned are important and high watch dates. I do believe if we get into October, we may have to wait until 2026. But I really don't know. I'm just trusting the timing of the Lord! He will come!
Blessings!
