2 G t Part #6 Lessns Index Bible Study Lessns (part #6) 1. Baptism Bury The Past And Start All Over Again G T Quiz (ffline/nline) The King James Versin (KJV) is mstly used in these lessns. Click here t access the KJV nline. Baptism represents tw utstanding events: first, Yahushua's death, burial, and resurrectin; secndly, a death t sin, a burial f the ld nature, and a spiritual resurrectin n the part f thse accepting Yahushua. In this lessn we will learn the meaning and imprtance f baptism, as well as the way Yahushua shwed it shuld be administered. 1. When was the rdinance f baptism instituted? It began with Jhn the Baptist and Yahushua. Baptized Int Yahushua 2. What persnal example did Yahushua set in respect f baptism? Then cmes Yahushua frm Galilee t Jrdan unt Jhn, t be baptized f him. Matthew 3:13. Answer: He was baptized by Jhn the Baptist (in river Jrdan) nt because He had sinned, but as an example t us, and t fulfil all righteusness (Matthew 3:15). Heaven was pleased, fr we read, L a vice frm heaven, saying, This is my belved Sn, in whm I am well pleased (Matthew 3: 17). He cmmanded His disciples t baptize cnverts amng all natins. NOTE: The true Christian will bey the cmmand f Yahushua that brings him int such a clse relatinship with Yahuwah. The baptized believer is actually adpted int the ryal family f Yahuwah and takes the ryal name f "Christian," a fllwer f Yahushua, the Christ ("the Aninted"). 3. Of what is baptism a symbl? It is a symbl f the death, burial, and resurrectin f Yahushua fr ur redemptin. See Rmans 6:3-8. NOTE: Just as Yahushua died fr the sins f the wrld, was buried in the tmb, and was resurrected again, s the sinner must die a spiritual death t sin; his ld life must be symblically buried in the waters f baptism, and then he must be raised frm the watery grave t live a new life in the Aninted, Yahushua. 4. What des Paul say shuld be dne t the ld life f sin? Our ld man is crucified with him. Rmans 6:6. That ye put ff cncerning the frmer cnversatin the ld man, which is crrupt accrding t the deceitful lusts. Ephesians 4:22. Put ff the ld man with his deeds. Clssians 3:9.
3 5. After the ld man f sin is crucified and put ff, what else shuld be dne with him? Therefre we are buried with him by baptism int death... That the bdy f sin might be destryed. Rmans 6:4, 6. See Clssians 2: What is represented by the candidate's being raised frm the watery grave at baptism? A resurrectin; a rebirth; the beginning f a new life. Fr if we have been planted tgether in the likeness f his death, we shall be als in the likeness f his resurrectin. Rmans 6:5. After baptism Christians are t walk in newness f life. (Rmans 6:4). 7. Is baptism necessary? Prerequisites Then Peter said unt them, Repent, and be baptized every ne f yu in the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, fr the remissin f sins, and ye shall receive the gift f the Hly Ghst. Acts 2: In refusing the baptism f Jhn, what did the Pharisees and lawyers reject? And all the peple that heard him, and the publicans, justified Yahuwah, being baptized with the baptism f Jhn. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the cunsel f Yahuwah against themselves, being nt baptized f him. Luke 7:29, 30. What shuld precede baptism? A. The candidate shuld be carefully taught. Teach all natins, baptizing them... teaching them t bserve all things whatsever I have cmmanded yu. Matthew 28: The candidate shuld be taught all things that Yahushua cmmanded. This is really much mre necessary tday than in the apstles' time, fr the fllwing reasns: There was a definite risk and sacrifice even in prfessing Christianity in the days f the apstles. Baptism tended t eliminate a mere nminal prfessin f His name. Peple d nt relish scrn, reprach, divisin in the family r martyrdm just t take up a new religin. But, tday, it is a matter f hnr t be cunted an ekklesia member. S every candidate fr baptism shuld understand fully what it means t becme a fllwer f Yahushua. In thse days, Yahushua, the Aninted, Himself was the issue. N ne thught f any Sabbath but the Bible Sabbath. S that was nt an issue. But tday it is. Tday, the teachings f Yahushua, as well as Yahushua Himself, is the issue. What will the candidate d? Accept Yahushua and reject His teachings? This is impssible. T receive Yahushua as Master and Saviur means t accept all things whatsever He cmmanded.
4 One may jin a church that preaches Yahushua and yet deny almst every fundamental dctrine f Bible religin. We have, in the churches tday, everything frm fanaticism and playing with rattlesnakes, n the ne hand, t ethereal ideas that there is n sin r death, but nly Yahuwah and life and gd. Millins seek sme mystic higher plane while evading the eternal teaching f the Wrd f Yahuwah and aviding the everlasting truths that sin is the transgressin f the law f Yahuwah. That the wages f sin is death, and that Yahushua is the nly Saviur frm the transgressin f the law. It is therefre clearly essential that candidates fr baptism be thrughly taught all things that Yahushua cmmanded; else the prfessin f Yahushua may mean fatal delusin and dangerus heresy. B. He must believe. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Mark 16:16. After being taught, the candidate shuld, in his heart, believe in Yahushua as Master, as a persnal Saviur, and in His teaching. It is nt enugh t say, I believe in Yahushua. Tday that may mean almst anything. He shuld believe His Wrd and teachings as recrded in the Bible; and, by faith, fllw his Saviur. C. He must repent f his sins. Peter said unt them, Repent, and be baptized every ne f yu in the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, fr the remissin f sins. Acts 2:38. Fr srrw in accrdance with the will f Yahuwah wrketh repentance t salvatin nt t be repented f: but the srrw f the wrld wrketh death. 2 Crinthians 7:10. T repent means t turn away frm sin. It means t turn t Yahuwah and righteusness. Man, f his wn free will and chice, must make the decisin t turn t Yahuwah and away frm sin and errr. A vital element f true repentance is srrw, which wrketh repentance t salvatin nt t be repented f (2 Crinthians 7:9-10). This repentance Yahuwah will give us if we are willing t turn away frm every sin (Acts 5:31; Rmans 2:4). Yahuwah's lve melts the heart, and the Spirit f Yahuwah makes us truly srry fr sin when we behld the precius Saviur dying fr the sins we have cmmitted. D. He must be willing t die t sin (Rmans 6:3, 11-13). As Yahushua died fr sin, man must die t sin. He will chse t lse a hand, a ft, an eye, befre he wills t use them t d evil (Mark 9:4347). His hands will nt hld ill-gtten gain r lift t his lips the red and stirring wine that bringeth frth babbling and we. Nr will he stain his fingers r ful his breath with the pisns f tbacc. His feet will nt crss the frbidden places f the wrld's alluring and sinful pleasures. He will nt yield his members as instruments f unrighteusness. E. He must be ready t live fr Yahuwah (Rmans 6:11,13). And Yahushua will dwell in him by His Hly Spirit. When Satan kncks at his heart dr, he will find the ld man gne - dead. A little girl put it this way: When Satan cmes t my heart's dr and calls fr me, I tell him that Yahushua lives here, and then Satan ges away. When Yahuwah calls, we yield ur members as instruments f righteusness unt Yahuwah. With Isaiah we say. Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:8). Such are
5 brn again men and wmen. Candidates fr baptism shuld learn, believe, repent, die t sin, and surrender t Yahuwah; therefre, infant baptism is nt Biblical. We may dedicate ur children t Yahuwah, but infant baptism is withut meaning in the light f these facts. There is n example fr it in the New Testament! The Bible Way 9. What is the nly mde f baptism recgnized in the Bible? Answer: Immersin. The Greek rt wrd baptiz means t dip, t plunge, t immerse.. t cver with fluid, etc., as material is dipped int a vat f dye, as the blacksmith plunges ht metal int a tank f water. The meaning is definitely nt sprinkle r pur. What is the nly frm f baptism that prperly represents Yahushua's burial and resurrectin, sprinkling r immersin? Answer: Baptism by water is Yahuwah's plan. This is made clear by Yahushua's wrds t Nicdemus: Verily, verily, I say unt thee, Except a man be brn f water and f the Spirit, he cannt enter int the kingdm f Yahuwah. Jhn 3:5. Jhn baptized at Aenn, because there was much water there (Jhn 3:23). Buried with him in baptism Clssians 2:12. Burial beneath the water, entirely hidden frm the wrld, the eyes clsed and breath held, just as in a real burial, then raised again frm the water, pening the eyes, catching the breath, and again assciating with lved nes, just as in an actual resurrectin. 10. Is the methd f baptism imprtant? Answer: Yes, because the methd is designed t illustrate the meaning and purpse f baptism. Said Paul: "Knw ye nt, that s many f us as were baptized int Yahushua, the Aninted, were baptized int His death? Therefre we are buried with Him by baptism int death: that like as the Aninted was raised up frm the dead by the glry f the Father, even s we als shuld walk in newness f life. Fr if we have been planted tgether in the likeness f His death, we shall be als in the likeness f His resurrectin: Knwing this, that ur ld man is crucified with Him, that the bdy f sin might be destryed, that hencefrth we shuld nt serve sin." Rmans 6:3-6 Ntice these fur pints: A. Baptism cmmemrates Yahushua's death, burial, and resurrectin. B. It symblizes the death and burial f the ld man f sin. C. It represents resurrectin t newness f life in the Aninted, Yahushua.
6 D. It indicates the washing away f sin (Acts 22:16). Since baptism cmmemrates the death, burial, and resurrectin f the Aninted One, and Yahushua died and rse but nce, thse wh immerse the individual three times instead f nce miss the imprtant pint f Yahushua's sacrifice nce fr all (1 Peter 3:18). Thse wh baptize the candidate face dwn, depart frm the regular mde f burial. The ld man f sin must die and be buried, and the new man (Ephesians 4:22, 24) be brught frth t walk in newness f life (Rmans 6:4). This is symblized by the candidate's clsing his eyes, hlding his breath, being buried under the water, being raised up, pening his eyes and breathing again, then walking ut f the watery grave. Sprinkling r puring simply cannt symblize this spiritual wrk f grace in the Christian. Baptism is first and fremst an utward symbl f the change made by Yahuwah's grace in the sinner's heart. 11. Des baptism take place in the water? And Yahushua, when he was baptized, went up straightway ut f the water. Matthew 3: D the candidate and the administratr bth g int the water? And he cmmanded the charit t stand still: and they went dwn bth int the water, bth Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were cme up ut f the water, the Spirit f Yahuwah caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him n,mre: and he went n his way rejicing. Acts 8:38, 39. Answer: Philip and the eunuch went int the water, and came ut (Acts 8:36-39). Philip baptized in the same manner as Jhn the Baptist. He and his candidate went dwn bth int the water, bth Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. They then came up ut f the water. Here we have but ne candidate. He culd have been sprinkled with a few drps f water r a cup f water might have been pured ver his head, but this wuld nt have been baptism accrding t Yahushua's example and cmmandment; hence Philip immersed the eunuch in a pl f water by the side f the rad. 13. Why did Jhn smetimes baptize in a place called Aenn? And Jhn als was baptizing in Aenn near t Salim, because there was much water there: and they carne, and were baptized. Jhn 3:23. Answer: The water in the Jrdan at certain seasns f the year was lw, and baptism by immersin wuld have been difficult. S at such times Jhn went t Aenn. 14. Hw did the peple f Samaria publicly testify t their faith in the preaching f Philip? But when they believed Philip preaching the things cncerning the kingdm f Yahuwah, and the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, they were baptized, bth men and wmen. Acts 8: 12.
7 15. What shuld every newly cnverted individual d? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling n the name f the Aninted. Acts 22:16. Answer: They shuld make the decisin at nce t be baptized and then start fellwship with thers every Sabbath. 16. In cnnectin with Christian baptism, what is washed away? And nw why tarriest thu? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling n the name f the Aninted. Acts 22:16. (See Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21.) Answer: Sins are washed away. 17. By what means are sins washed away? Unt Him that lved us, and washed us frm ur sins in His wn bld. Revelatin 1:5. Answer: By the bld f Yahushua, the Aninted. 18. Int whse name are believers t be baptized?* Then Peter said unt them, Repent, and be baptized every ne f yu in the name f Yahushua the Aninted fr the remissin f sins Acts 2:38. Answer: Accrding t bth the Bible and histry, the New Testament ekklesia invked the name f Yahushua at water baptism. Its baptismal frmula was in the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, r Master Yahushua, nt in the name f the Father, Sn, and Hly Ghst. * PLEASE SEE APPENDIX AT THE END OF THIS LESSON BELOW. 19. Since all denminatinal churches have fallen in dctrines such as in Trinitarian Baptismal frmula, what is the dr t Yahushua s hme ekklesia? Answer: We are baptized int Yahushua, the Aninted (Rmans 6:3). The ekklesia members are called the members f Yahushua's bdy, and we are baptized int this bdy f Yahushua n earth. Yahushua calls Himself the dr, but we are baptized int Him. Thus baptism is an entrance. Ntice three pints: A. Yahushua is the head f the true Christian bdy (Ephesians 4:15-16). B. We becme members f Yahushua's bdy, the ekklesia, at baptism (1 Crinthians 12:20-27). C. We are baptized int ne bdy (1 Crinthians 12:13). 20. Sme ask abut being baptized mre than nce?
8 And it came t pass, that, while Aplls was at Crinth, Paul having passed thrugh the upper casts came t Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unt them, Have ye received the Hly Ghst since ye believed? And they said unt him, We have nt s much as heard whether there be any Hly Ghst. And he said unt them, Unt what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unt Jhn's baptism. Then said Paul, Jhn verily baptized with the baptism f repentance, saying unt the peple, that they shuld believe n him which shuld cme after him, that is, n the Aninted, Yahushua. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name f the Master Yahushua. Acts 19:1-5. Answer: In the abve scriptures is the recrd f believers wh were baptized twice. Imprtant new truth had cme t them, and they acted upn it and were re-baptized. NOTE: There is still anther lessn fr us in the experience f thse Jewish cnverts. When they received baptism at the hand f Jhn they did nt fully cmprehend the missin f Yahushua as the Sin Bearer. They were hlding serius errrs. But with clearer light, they gladly accepted Yahushua as their Redeemer, and with this step f advance came a change in their bligatins. As they received a purer faith, there was a crrespnding change in their life. In tken f this change, and as an acknwledgment f their faith in Yahushua, they were rebaptized in His Name. 21. Sme ask whether baptism f the Spirit is nt sufficient? While Peter yet spake these wrds, the Hly Ghst fell n all them which heard the wrd. And they f the circumcisin which believed were astnished, as many as came with Peter, because that n the Gentiles als was pured ut the gift f the Hly Ghst. Fr they heard them speak with tngues, and magnify Yahuwah. Then answered Peter, Can any man frbid water, that these shuld nt be baptized, which have received the Hly Ghst as well as we? And he cmmanded them t be baptized in the name f the Master. Acts 10:44-48 Answer: Here Peter cmmanded these sincere believers t be baptized in the name f the Master. They had already been baptized with the Hly Ghst. A Marriage Ceremny 22. When believers are baptized int Yahushua, whm d they put n? Fr as many f yu as have been baptized int the Aninted have put n the Aninted. Galatians 3:27. Answer: Our Master and Saviur, Yahushua, the Aninted. 23. Hw perfect is the unity int which believers are brught by being baptized int Yahushua? Fr as the bdy is ne, and hath many members, and all the members f that ne bdy, being many, are ne bdy: s als is the Aninted. Fr by ne Spirit are we all baptized int ne bdy, whether we be Jews r Gentiles, whether we be bnd r free; and have been all made t drink int ne Spirit. 1 Crinthians 12:12, After being united with Yahushua in the likeness f His death and resurrectin, what shuld the believer d?
9 If ye then be risen with the Aninted, seek these things which are abve, where the Aninted sitteth n the right hand f Yahuwah. Clssians 3:1. NOTE: The decisin t be baptized is a serius ne. If yu have nt yet taken this step publicly and in the biblical way, we urge yu t give it prayerful cnsideratin. Since yu have gne thrugh this series f lessns, yu have enugh knwledge t decide in favr f this mst beautiful ceremny. If yu have a desire t unite with a peple wh believe what yu have been learning, please let us knw and we will assist yu in every way pssible. May Yahuwah richly bless yu as yu cnsider this imprtant step. The Scriptural Recrd Appendix: The Baptismal Frmula in Scripture and Histry Every time the Bible recrds the name r frmula assciated with an actual baptism in the New Testament ekklesia, it describes the name, Yahushua. All five such accunts ccur in the Bk f Acts, the histry bk f the early ekklesia. It recrds that the fllwing peple were baptized in Yahushua's name. The Jews, Then Peter said unt them, Repent, and be baptized every ne f yu in the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, fr the remissin f sins, and ye shall receive the gift f the Hly Ghst (Acts 2:38). The Samaritans. They were baptized in the name f the Master Yahushua (Acts 8:16). The Gentiles. And he cmmanded them t be baptized in the name f the Master (Acts 10:48). (The earliest Greek manuscripts that we have say, In the name f Yahushua, the Aninted, as d mst versins tday.) The disciples f Jhn (rebaptized). They were baptized in the name f the Master Yahushua (Acts 19:5). The Apstle Paul. Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling n the name f the Aninted (Acts 22:16). Mrever, the Epistles cntain a number f references r allusins t baptism in Yahushua's name. See Rmans 6:3-4; I Crinthians 1:13; 6:11; Galatians 3:27 ; Clssians 2:12; James 2:7. The nly verse f Scripture that anyne culd appeal t in supprt f a threefld baptismal frmula is Matthew 28: 19, in which Yahushua cmmanded baptism in the name f the Father, and f the Sn, and f the Hly Ghst. Hwever, there is a very strng case which suggests that these wrds f Matthew 28:19 were nt penned dwn by Matthew, but that there were added by Rme, many centuries later. Fr further study n the rigin f this verse, we recmmend that yu view the fllwing shrt vide.

13 G t Part #6 Lessns Index Bible Study Lessns (part #6) 2. The Rapture And A Thusand Years Of Peace G T Quiz (ffline/nline) The King James Versin (KJV) is mstly used in these lessns. Click here t access the KJV nline. At the secnd cming f Yahushua, mighty changes will take place upn the earth, it will be destryed and a place f ttal darkness. Satan will be bund in this deslate earth that the Scripture describes as "the bttmless pit." He will be held prisner here fr a thusand years. The Bible des nt teach that the millennium will be a thusand years f peace and prsperity here upn earth. This is Satan's deceptin. There are currently five unbibilical teachings circulating abut the millennium: A. That Yahushua will nt cme the secnd time until the end f the millennium. This is pst-millennialism. Thse wh believe this put Yahushua's cming at least ne thusand years in the future. Satan is pleased thus t remve the thught and event far, far away. B. That the millennium will be preceded by a secret cming f Yahushua. Althugh Yahushua did everything He culd t make it clear that His cming wuld be pen and public befre saints and sinners (see Revelatin 1:7; Acts 1:9-11). C. That the millennium is t be preceded by a seven-year reign f Antichrist. A great hst f peple tday, with all the glrius light f prphecy shining upn wrld histry, d nt see the real Antichrist and are lking fr ne t appear after Yahushua has cme. This false thery came as a part f the Cunter-Refrmatin, and was intrduced t ffset the mighty wrk f such men as Luther, Calvin, Knx, Wesley, and all the ther great Refrmers. D. The miscnceptin that the gspel will still be preached during the millennium, after the secnd cming f Yahushua. E. That Yahushua has already cme; and the dead will be raised frm time t time during the millennium and given a secnd chance t accept the gspel while the devil is chained up. If we believe any f the abve five deceptins, we are mre likely t prcrastinate and lse ur salvatin because f the belief that Yahushua will nt be here fr at least ne thusand years; s yu can get ready after the secret cming f Yahushua. Let's study what the Bible teaches abut the Millennium. The Beginning Of The Millennium 1. When Yahushua cmes the secnd time, what will happen t the cities f earth?
14 "And the cities f the natins fell." Revelatin 16:19. "I beheld, and, l, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities theref were brken dwn at the presence f Yahuwah, and by his fierce anger. Fr thus hath Yahuwah said, The whle land shall be deslate; yet will I nt make a full end." Jeremiah 4:26, 27. Answer: The whle earth will becme deslate frm the devastating earthquake and hailstrm. 2. T what cnditin will the earth be reduced? "Destructin upn destructin is cried; fr the whle land is spiled: suddenly are my tents spiled, and my curtains in a mment. I beheld the earth, and, l, it was withut frm and vid; and the heavens, and they had n light." Jeremiah 4:20, 23. Answer: Ttal destructin and the earth will be deppulated. 3. What five events mark the beginning f the Millennium? A. Secnd cming f Yahushua. "Fr this we say unt yu by the wrd f the Master, that we which are alive and remain unt the cming f the Master shall nt prevent them which are asleep. Fr the Master Himself shall descend frm heaven with a shut, with the vice f the archangel, and with the trump f Yahuwah; and the dead in the Aninted shall rise first." 1 Thessalnians 4: Yahushua's advent is preceded by the seven last plagues - mst fearful scurges t strike mankind in the lng histry f ur race. The war f Armageddn is the sixth f these plagues. B. Righteus dead resurrected (the first resurrectin). "Blessed and hly is he that hath part in the first resurrectin: n such the secnd death hath n pwer, but they shall be priests f Yahuwah and f the Aninted, and shall reign with Him a thusand years. Revelatin 20:6. "The dead in the Aninted shall rise first, 1 Thessalnians 4:16. This is the "resurrectin f life" t which Yahushua referred (Jhn 5:29). Only the "blessed and hly" cme frth t life eternal in this first resurrectin. C. Wicked living slain. "The Master Yahushua shall be revealed frm heaven with His mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance n them that knw nt Yahuwah, and that bey nt the gspel f ur Master Yahushua, the Aninted." 2 Thessalnians 1:7-8. (See 2 Thessalnians 2:8; Jeremiah 25:31-33.)
15 The angry natins at war with ne anther receive f the wrath f Yahuwah as Yahushua, the "King f kings and Master f master," cmes t "destry them which destry the earth" (Revelatin 11:18). As Svereign Master f the wrld, Yahushua uses His arsenal f weapns, which are much mre ptent than any thermnuclear devices and atmic bmbs that are likely t be used in the war f Armageddn. "The heavens shall pass away with a great nise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth als and the wrks that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10. The spirits f devils inspire the Armageddn cnflict. Satan rejices in war and in the death f Yahuwah's creatures. All natins frm east, west, suth, and nrth plunge int the terrible slaughter. Then Yahuwah arises t punish the transgressrs f His law f lve. "Yahuwah shall rar frm n high, and utter His vice frm his Hly habitatin...fr Yahuwah hath a cntrversy with the natins... Evil shall g frth frm natin t natin, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up frm the casts f the earth." Jeremiah 25: "The kings f the earth and f the whle wrld" (Revelatin 16:14) are destryed as Yahushua, the great warrir f heaven, rides frth t put dwn the frces f rebellin (Revelatin 19:11-16). All the wicked die and the earth is deppulated. D. All the righteus taken t heaven. "The dead in the Aninted shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up tgether with them in the cluds, t meet the Master in the air; and s shall we ever be with the Master." 1 Thessalnians 4: (See Jhn 14:1-3). The resurrected saints and the living righteus are taken ut f this wrld t heaven. Please remember that the hur is cming when mercy's vice will be hushed (Revelatin 22:11). Then the seven last plagues will be pured ut upn an unrepentant wrld. Armageddn, cming during the sixth plague, fllws after man's prbatin has clsed. Thse wh wait fr the time f that battle t get ready fr heaven will be disappinted; it will be t late then. E. Satan is bund. "And He laid hld n the dragn, that ld serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bund him a thusand years, and cast him int the bttmless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upn him, that he shuld deceive the natins n mre, till the thusand years shuld be fulfilled: and after that he must be lsed a little seasn. Revelatin 20:2-3. Yahushua said that He wuld return and take His peple t the mansins He went t prepare. That settles it fr yu, desn't it? He will take all the righteus t heaven. The wicked living will perish. The wicked dead wh are already in their graves will remain there. Satan will be left alne in the ruined earth, his wrk f deceptin ended fr 1,000 years. Satan is sentenced t a ne-thusand-year term f imprisnment in this wrld-the very pit f destructin. He is truly bund, "that he shuld deceive the natins n mre, till the thusand years shuld be fulfilled." 4. After the righteus are taken t heaven by Yahushua at His cming, hw many persns will be left living n the earth?
16 "I beheld, and, l there was n man." Jeremiah 4:25. Answer: The living wicked will be slain by the very presence f Yahushua at the secnd cming. When an angel appeared at Yahushua's tmb, the entire grup f Rman guards fell as dead men (Matthew 28:2, 4). When the brightness f all the angels, ur lving Father Yahweh, and His Sn cmbine, the wicked will die as if hit by lightning. Bear in mind that the wicked already dead when Yahushua returns, will still remain in their graves until the end f the 1,000 years. " Fr ur Elah is a cnsuming fire." Hebrews 12: What has happened t the wicked? "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whm the Master shall cnsume with the spirit f his muth, and shall destry with the brightness f his cming." 2 Thessalnians 2:8. "And the slain f Yahuwah shall be at that day frm ne end f the earth even unt the ther end f the earth: they shall nt be lamented, neither gathered, nr buried; they shall be dung upn the grund." Jeremiah 25: 33. Answer: The wicked will be utterly verwhelmed by the awful splendr f His cming and will all fall dead t the grund (see 2 Thessalnians 2:8). Unnumbered millins f dead f all natins will be scattered ver the earth. There will be n ne t lament them r bury them. Wherever they fall, they must remain until the secnd resurrectin. 6. What will happen t Satan at Yahushua's cming? "And I saw an angel cme dwn frm heaven, having the key f the bttmless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hld n the dragn, that ld serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bund him a thusand years." Revelatin 20:1, 2. NOTE: "Here is t be the hme f Satan with his evil angels fr a thusand years. Limited t the earth, he will nt have access t ther wrlds t tempt and anny thse wh have never fallen. It is in this sense that he is bund: there are nne remaining, upn whm he can exercise his pwer. He is whlly cut ff frm the wrk f deceptin and ruin which fr s many centuries has been his sle delight... Fr six thusand years, Satan's wrk f rebellin has 'made the earth t tremble.' He had 'made the wrld as a wilderness, and destryed the cities theref.' And he 'pened nt the huse f his prisners.' Fr six thusand years his prisn huse has received [Yahuwah's] peple, and he wuld have held them captive frever; but [Yahushua] had brken his bnds and set the prisners free. "Even the wicked are nw placed beynd the pwer f Satan, and alne with his evil angels he remains t realize the effect f the curse which sin has brught. 'The kings f the natins, even all f them, lie in glry, everyne in his wn huse [the grave]. But thu art cast ut f thy grave like an abminable branch.... Thu shalt nt be jined with them in burial, because thu hast destryed thy land, and slain thy peple.' Isaiah 14:18-20." The Great Cntrversy, page 659, After Satan is bund, where will he be cast?
17 "And cast him int the bttmless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upn him, that he shuld deceive the natins n mre, till the thusand years shuld be fulfilled." Revelatin 20:3. Answer: The bttmless pit here referred t is the earth after it has been brken dwn, made waste and vid, and when the sun n lnger shines upn it, as described abve. It will becme a deslate dungen, and in this abyss Satan and his angels will be cnfined fr ne thusand years. He can "deceive the natins n mre," because the righteus are in heaven examining the recrds, and the wicked are dead upn the earth. Thus, he is bund and he cannt even leave the earth t g t ther wrlds in the universe t try t anny and deceive them int sin. NOTE: Fr a thusand years, Satan will wander t and fr in the deslate earth t behld the results f his rebellin against the law f [Yahuwah]. During this time his sufferings are intense. Since his fall his life f unceasing activity has banished reflectin; but he is nw deprived f his pwer and left t cntemplate the part which he has acted since first he rebelled against the gvernment f heaven, and t lk frward with trembling and terrr t the dreadful future when he must suffer fr all the evil that he has dne and be punished fr the sins that he has caused t be cmmitted. The Great Cntrversy, page What are the fur pieces f evidence that mark the 1,000-year perid? A. The earth is deslate-a bttmless pit. "I beheld the earth, and, l, it was withut frm, and vid; and the heavens, and they had n light. I beheld the muntains, and, l, they trembled, and all the hills mved lightly. I beheld, and, l, there was n man, and all the birds f the heavens were fled. I beheld and, l, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities theref were brken dwn at the presence f Yahuwah, and by His fierce anger. Fr thus hath Yahuwah said, The whle land shall be deslate; yet will I nt make a full end." Jeremiah 4: The deslatin f the earth is brught n by a series f tragic events: (1) the awful plagues, including the general carnage and devastatin f Armageddn, huge hailstnes and devastating earthquake (Revelatin 16:18-21; 6:14-17); (2) the awesme advent f Yahushua in glry, at which time the wicked are destryed by fire and the earth is brken up by a great earthquake (Revelatin 16:17-21). B. The wicked are all dead (Jeremiah 4:25; Isaiah 11:4). C. Satan and his angels are "bund" n a deslate earth (Revelatin 20:1-3). D. The righteus are engaged in a wrk f judgment in heaven (Revelatin 20:4-6). "I saw thrnes, and they sat upn them, and judgement was given unt them: and I saw the suls f them that were beheaded fr the witness f Yahushua, and fr the Wrd f Yahuwah, and which had nt wrshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upn their freheads, r in their hands: and they lived and reigned with the Aninted a thusand years" Revelatin 20:4. (See 1 Crinthians 6:1-3.) NOTE: The Bible teaches that the saved will have a part in the judgment. But why have a judgment after all cases have been decided? When Yahushua cmes, He brings His reward with Him and takes His peple t
18 heaven. But the wicked are t be raised frm the dead at the end f the 1,000 years, t receive the punishment f the secnd death. Just hw will Yahuwah deal with these cases? Wh will burn in the lake f fire fr a shrt time? Wh fr a lnger time? Suppse yu had a very dear Christian friend n earth whm yu thught wuld be in heaven, but in heaven he was nt t be fund. Well, during the millennium yu will find ut just hw Yahuwah has dealt with his case and the cases f all thers. Yahuwah takes a thusand years fr this wrk. He will run n risk f having ne single dubt in any mind abut His wrk fr fallen man. When the wicked finally have sentence prnunced upn them, it will be clear t all that they deserve the punishment. During this perid Yahuwah allws the saved t sit, as it were, beside Him and learn hw hard He tried t save every persn. I think we shall understand Him better and lve Him mre after we have learned frm the Saviur, Himself, His stry f salvatin. Dn't yu? When it is all ver we shall say, "True and righteus are Thy judgments." Revelatin 16:7. There will be n sil in ur hearts fr the grwth f seeds f dubt. "Yahuwah shall wipe away all tears frm their eyes." Revelatin 21:4. During the 1,000 years, every sul wh has ever lived n earth will be in ne f tw places: (1) n the earth, dead and lst, r (2) in heaven, taking part in the judgment. Yahuwah invites yu t be in heaven. Please accept His invitatin. Events At The Clse Of The Millennium 9. What is t happen at the end f the ne thusand years? "But the rest f the dead lived nt again until the thusand years were finished." Revelatin 20: 5. This is "the resurrectin f damnatin" spken f by Yahushua, as recrded in Jhn 5:29. Only the righteus are raised in the first resurrectin. See Revelatin 20:6. Since the righteus dead were raised ne thusand years earlier, the expressin, "the rest f the dead," must refer t the wicked. Answer: The wicked will be raised t life. 1. The wicked dead are raised. 2. The Hly City descends t earth with the saints. 3. Satan mbilizes the vast multitude f the wicked against the Hly City and the saints. 4. Yahuwah destrys sin, sinners, death, and hell in that last, final destructin. This is the secnd death. 5. Yahuwah creates a new earth with all the marks and tracings f sin erased, and He will dwell with His peple frever.

19 "Fr precept must be upn precept, precept upn precept; line upn line, line upn line; here a little, and there a little:" (Isaiah 28:10) This study is necessary t arrive at the crrect quiz answers regarding: (a) sme f the things the saved will d after the ne thusand years and (b) the fate that awaits the righteus at the secnd cming. We are given a glimpse f eternal life cnditins and activities in the fllwing texts: Isaiah 65:17-25; Jhn 1:14; Jhn 14:2-3; Hebrews 1:2; 1 Thess. 4:17; Revelatin 14:4; 1 Crinthians 2:9; Revelatin 22:14 (Tree f life); Genesis 1:1; Ephesians 3:9; Clssians 1:16; 1 Peter 1 (the mysteries f salvatin). "O the depth f the riches bth f the wisdm and knwledge f Yahuwah! hw unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding ut!" Rmans 11:33 "Fr as the heavens are higher than the earth, s are My ways higher than yur ways, and My thughts than yur thughts." (Isaiah 55:9) There will never be a dull mment; we will have all eternity t keep learning and discvering new things! Examine the abve texts carefully and make a list f sme f the wnderful things we can anticipate in the wrld t cme. Belw is an example f hw t link texts t arrive at a cnclusin: HE CREATED THE EARTH - and everything else in the whle universe! "In the beginning Yahuwah created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) "And t make all men see what is the fellwship f the mystery, which frm the beginning f the wrld hath been hid in Yahuwah, wh created all things by Yahushua:" (Ephesians 3:9) "Fr by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrnes, r dminins, r principalities, r pwers: all things were created by Him, and fr Him:" (Clssians 1:16) HE LATER VISITED US IN PERSON - "And the Wrd was made flesh, and dwelt amng us, (and we beheld His glry, the glry as f the nly begtten f the Father,) full f grace and truth." (Jhn 1:14) HE ALSO MADE OTHER WORLDS - "Hath in these last days spken unt us by His Sn, whm He hath appinted heir f all things, by whm als He made the wrlds;" (Hebrews 1:2) WE WILL BE WITH HIM -
20 "In my Father's huse are many mansins: if it were nt s, I wuld have tld yu. I g t prepare a place fr yu. And if I g and prepare a place fr yu, I will cme again, and receive yu unt Myself; that where I am, there ye may be als." (Jhn 14:2-3) "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up tgether with them in the cluds, t meet the Master in the air: and s shall we ever be with the Master." (1 Thess. 4:17) WE WILL FOLLOW HIM WHEREVER HE GOES - "These are they which were nt defiled with wmen; fr they are virgins. These are they which fllw the Lamb whithersever He geth. These were redeemed frm amng men, being the firstfruits unt Yahuwah and t the Lamb." (Rev. 14:4) CONCLUSION: If He created the earth and later visited us, then it is reasnable t anticipate that He will als visit the ther wrlds that He made and if we will be with Him always, then we will accmpany Him n thse exhilarating visits! The abve example shws hw we can arrive at ne f the crrect answers t questin #24 in the quiz. Questin: What fate awaits the righteus at the secnd cming? Crrect Answer: The exhilarating experience f discvering and visiting new places in the universe. Nw, re-examine all the given texts; if necessary, maybe yu can find mre Scriptures n yur wn t help yu arrive at the ther crrect answers fr the quiz. NOTE: At the clse f the thusand years the secnd resurrectin will take place. Then the wicked will be raised frm the dead and appear befre [Yahuwah] fr the executin f 'the judgment written.' Thus the revelatr, after describing the resurrectin f the righteus, says: 'The rest f the dead lived nt again until the thusand years were finished.' Revelatin 20:5. And Isaiah declares, cncerning the wicked: 'They shall be gathered tgether, as prisners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prisn, and after many days shall they be visited.' Isaiah 24:22. The Great Cntrversy

Click here t access the KJV nline. The gift f immrtality and eternal life which Yahuwah has prmised t all His children is His mst precius gift t man. It was t make pssible the bestwal f this gift that Yahushua went t Calvary. He died that we might live. Thrugh His stripes we shall be healed f the malady f sin and freed frm the sentence f eternal death. We shall receive a gift f life that will measure with the life f Yahuwah. "Fr the wages f sin is death; but the gift f Yahuwah is eternal life thrugh Yahushua, the Aninted, ur Master." Rmans 6:23. This Life Transitry 1. Hw are we shwn that man des nt naturally pssess eternal life? Fr the wages f sin is death; but the gift f Yahuwah is eternal life thrugh Yahushua, the Aninted, ur Master. Rmans 6:23. Answer: The dctrine f the natural immrtality f the sul is ne errr with which the enemy is deceiving man. This errr is well-nigh universal. But wh tld men that they wuld nt die? Wh tld them that Yahuwah has reserved a prtin f His universe where the wicked are t suffer, thrugh the ceaseless ages f eternity, withut a particle f hpe? It was the serpent. Yahuwah said that sinners wuld die. Satan declares that they will nt die. Many believe the ft-repeated lies f the serpent t be genuine truth. 2. What things will be seen in the lives f thse wh receive the gift f everlasting life? But nw being made free frm sin, and becme servants t Yahuwah, ye have yur fruit unt hliness, and the end everlasting life. Rmans 6:22. NOTE: T thse that ask Him, [Yahushua] imparts the Hly Spirit; fr it is necessary that every believer shuld be delivered frm pllutin, as well as frm the curse and cndemnatin f the law. Thrugh the wrk f the Hly Spirit, the sanctificatin f the truth, the believer becmes fitted fr the curts f heaven; fr [Yahushua] wrks within us, and His righteusness is upn us. Withut this n sul will be entitled t heaven. We wuld nt enjy heaven unless qualified fr its hly atmsphere by the influence f the Spirit and the righteusness f [Yahushua]. In rder t be candidates fr heaven we must meet the requirement f the law: Thu shalt lve [Yahuwah thy Elah] with all thy heart, and with all thy sul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbur as thyself (Luke 10:27). We can d this nly as we grasp by faith the righteusness f [Yahushua]. By behlding [Yahushua] we receive a living, expanding principle in the heart, and the Hly Spirit carries n the wrk, and the believer advances frm grace t grace, frm strength t strength, frm character t character. He cnfrms t the image f [Yahushua], until in spiritual grwth he attains unt the
27 measure f the full stature in [the Aninted, Yahushua]. Thus [Yahushua] makes an end f the curse f sin, and sets the believing sul free frm its actin and effect. Ye Shall Receive Pwer, page What did Yahushua say was the qualificatin fr eternal life? That whsever believeth in him shuld nt perish, but have eternal life. Fr Yahuwah s lved the wrld, that he gave his nly begtten Sn, that whsever believeth in him shuld nt perish, but have everlasting life...he that believeth n the Sn hath everlasting life: and he that believeth nt the Sn shall nt see life; but the wrath f Yahuwah abideth n him. Jhn 3:15-16, 36. Verily, verily, I say unt yu, He that heareth my wrd, and believeth n him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall nt cme int cndemnatin; but is passed frm death unt life. Jhn 5:24. Answer: Believe n the Master, Yahushua, the Aninted. NOTE: Many accept Yahushua as an article f belief, but they have n saving faith in Him as their sacrifice and Saviur. D yu believe that Yahushua, as yur substitute, pays the debt f yur transgressin? Nt, hwever, that yu may cntinue in sin, but that yu may be saved frm yur sins; that yu, thrugh the merits f His righteusness, may be re-instated t the favur f Yahuwah. The Unsaved Die Twice 4. What types f belief des the Bible warn against? Why will sme cme t believe things which are nt true? And with all deceivableness f unrighteusness in them that perish; because they received nt the lve f the truth, that they might be saved. And fr this cause Yahuwah shall send them strng delusin, that they shuld believe a lie. 2 Thessalnians 2: Answer: True faith trusts whlly in Yahushua fr salvatin, leading t perfect cnfrmity t the law f Yahuwah. He that saith, I knw Him, and keepeth nt His cmmandments, is a liar, and the truth is nt in him 1 Jhn 2:4. It is unsafe t trust ur feelings r impressins; these are unreliable guides. Yahuwah s law is the nly crrect standard f hliness. It is by this law that character is t be judged. 5. When Yahushua was asked what was necessary fr man t d t have eternal life, hw did He reply? And, behld, a certain lawyer std up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I d t inherit eternal life? He said unt him, What is written in the law? hw readest thu? And he answering said, Thu shalt lve Yahuwah thy Elah with all thy heart, and with all thy sul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbur as thyself. And he said unt him, Thu hast answered right: this d, and thu shalt live. Luke 10: Answer: The wrld s Redeemer has plainly specified the cnditins f eternal life. Bth the cnditins and the prmise are psitive. Yahushua must be the center. We must lve Him and when we lve Him we will lve ur neighbur as urselves.
28 If an inquirer after salvatin were t ask, 'What shall I d t inherit eternal life?' the mdern teachers f sanctificatin wuld answer, 'Only believe that [Yahushua] saves yu.' But when [Yahushua] was asked this questin, He said, 'What is written in the law? Hw readest thu?' And when the questiner replied, 'Thu shalt lve [Yahuwah thy Elah] with all thy heart... and thy neighbur as thyself,' [Yahushua] said, 'Thu hast answered right: this d, and thu shalt live' (Luke 10:25-29). True sanctificatin will be evidenced by a cnscientius regard fr all the cmmandments f [Yahuwah], by a careful imprvement f every talent, by a circumspect cnversatin, by revealing in every act the meekness f [Yahushua]. Faith and Wrks, pages 52, Hw did Yahushua answer this same questin n anther ccasin? And, behld, ne came and said unt him, Gd Master, what gd thing shall I d, that I may have eternal life? And he said unt him, Why callest thu me gd? there is nne gd but ne, that is, Yahuwah: but if thu wilt enter int life, keep the cmmandments. Matthew 19: NOTE: The sanctificatin nw gaining prminence in the religius wrld carries with it a spirit f selfexaltatin and a disregard fr the law f [Yahuwah] that marks it as freign t the religin f the Bible. Its advcates teach that sanctificatin is an instantaneus wrk, by which, thrugh faith alne, they attain t perfect hliness. Only believe, say they, and the blessing is yurs. N further effrt n the part f the receiver is suppsed t be required. At the same time they deny the authrity f the law f [Yahuwah], urging that they are released frm bligatin t keep the cmmandments. But is it pssible fr men t be hly, in accrd with the will and character f [Yahuwah], withut cming int harmny with the principles which are an expressin f His nature and will, and which shw what is well pleasing t Him? The desire fr an easy religin that requires n striving, n self-denial, n divrce frm the fllies f the wrld has made the dctrine f faith, and faith nly, a ppular dctrine; but what saith the wrd f [Yahuwah]? Says the apstle James: What dth it prfit, my brethren, thugh a man say he hath faith, and have nt wrks? Can faith save him?... Wilt thu knw, O vain man, that faith withut wrks is dead? The Great Cntrversy, pages What prmise did Yahushua give t thse wh are willing t sacrifice in this life fr His sake? And every ne that hath frsaken huses, r brethren, r sisters, r father, r mther, r wife, r children, r lands, fr my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfld, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19: What cnditin did Yahushua speak f fr thse wh wish t receive eternal life? What did He mean by this? Whs eateth my flesh, and drinketh my bld, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day... It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh prfiteth nthing: the wrds that I speak unt yu, they are spirit, and they are life. Jhn 6:54, 63. NOTE: "T eat the flesh and drink the bld f [Yahushua] is t receive Him as a persnal Saviur, believing that He frgives ur sins and that we are cmplete in Him. It is by behlding His lve, by dwelling upn it, by drinking it in, that we are t becme partakers f His nature. What fd is t the bdy, [Yahushua] must be t the sul. Fd cannt benefit us unless we eat it, unless it becmes a part f ur being. S [Yahushua] is f n value t us if we d nt knw Him as a persnal Saviur. A theretical knwledge will d us n gd. We must
29 feed upn Him, receive Him int the heart, s that His life becmes ur life. His lve, His grace, must be assimilated." The Desire f Ages, page Hw did Peter shw his understanding f Yahushua s wrds? Then Simn Peter answered him, Master, t whm shall we g? thu hast the wrds f eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thu art that the Aninted, the Sn f the living Elah. Jhn 6: NOTE: "Spiritual life must be sustained by cmmunin with [Yahushua] thrugh His Wrd. The mind must dwell upn it; the heart must be filled with it. The Wrd f [Yahuwah] laid up in the heart and sacredly cherished and beyed, thrugh the pwer f the grace f [Yahushua], can make man right, and keep him right; but every human influence, every earthly inventin, is pwerless t give strength and wisdm t man. It cannt restrain passin, r crrect defrmity f character. Unless the truth f [Yahuwah] cntrls the heart, the cnscience will be warped. But in these wrldly scieties the mind is turned away frm the Wrd f [Yahuwah]. Men are nt led t make it the study and the guide f life."selected Messages, Bk 2, page Hw did Yahushua explain the Christian life and its reward? My sheep hear my vice, and I knw them, and they fllw me: And I give unt them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them ut f my hand. Jhn 10: NOTE: "[Yahushua] is the Gd Shepherd. He leads the way, calling upn His sheep t fllw him. Thse wh hear and bey His vice will fllw His example in all things. Becming acquainted with Him, they will grw daily mre and mre like Him. They will be meek and lwly, free frm jealusy and envy. D we hear [Yahushua s] vice? Are we fllwing Him? It is f great imprtance that we knw whether we are fllwing the True Shepherd. In rder t knw this, we must search His Wrd; fr it is His vice speaking t us. What saith the Scriptures? is t be ur watchwrd at every step. In [Yahuwah s] wrd we may find an answer t every questin. Frm it light shines upn ur pathway, revealing the Gd Shepherd as He ges befre us." Yuth Instructr, Octber 3, 1901 par What has Yahushua prmised t thse wh fllw Him? And this is the prmise that he hath prmised us, even eternal life. 1 Jhn 2: What characteristics will be fund in thse wh receive eternal life? T them wh by patient cntinuance in well ding seek fr glry and hnur and immrtality, eternal life. Rmans 2:7. Cmpare Revelatin 14:12. NOTE: "Patient cntinuance in well-ding will lead yu thrugh this wrld f srrw and strife t glry and hnur and eternal life. Have [Yahuwah] within and [Yahuwah] verhead and yu have nthing t fear. The Bible is a light t thse wh are in darkness. In the prspect f a blissful immrtality held ut t thse wh endure unt the end, yu will find an elevating pwer, a strength which yu need t resist evil. Be steadfast in the hur f trial, and yu will gain at last a crwn which will never fade away."this Day With Gd, page 194.

Thse whse lives are transfrmed by the gspel immediately becme citizens f the kingdm f Yahushua. They "are n mre strangers and freigners, but fellw citizens with the saints, and f the husehld f Yahuwah." Ephesians 2:19. Fr, "as many as received him, t them gave he pwer t becme the sns f Yahuwah, even t them that believe n his name." Jhn 1:12. They are gathered by the gspel ut f "every natin, and kindred, and tngue, and peple" (Revelatin 14:6). They are welded tgether int a "hly natin." They becme "the peple f Yahuwah" (1 Peter 2:9, 10). This transfer f allegiance changes everything. The ld desires and lusts are crucified, and the affectins are nw set n "things abve." (Clssians 3:2.) Thse things which nce were lved are nw hated, and in the heart is a desire t d the entire will f Yahuwah. Of this change Yahuwah declares: "I will put my laws int their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be t them Elah, and they shall be t me a peple." (Hebrews 8:10). The Law in Eden 1. Why did Yahuwah give mankind His cmmandments? A. Standard f righteusness. Knw His Will, being instructed ut f the law. Rmans 2:18. See als Psalm 119:142, 172. B. Reveals any lapse frm bedience and als reveal the difference between right and wrng. By the law is the knwledge f sin. Rmans 3:20.
