THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

Transcription

1 January 2013 Amos Olusegun Omoboriowo The following message was preached by Brother Amos, at t h e B i b l e F a i t h Tabernacle Convention, in Lagos, Nigeria. It was over two services, the evening of Saturday 21st May, and the morning of Sunday 22nd May. It is a most electrifying message, which has been presented in a very simple but clear way, allowing us to see exactly what God is going to do, before that eternal day. W i t h c l a r i t y c o m e s understanding, and we cannot wait for that day. Good evening everyone. It is nice to be together one more time. And it has been a joy just having you all. We appreciate the sacrifice of the saints. It THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT has been a wonderful time, and it feels like you should stay, and not go back, so we can all be together. But a day is coming when we will meet to part no more, and we will all be together all through a long and endless eternity. And that is precisely where we are going with our message this day. We appreciate God for His goodness towards us. It is my prayer that God will help us in this way, to stand firmly and faithfully, and to get ourselves ready for the Lord. There is nothing that is worth anything outside Jesus Christ. He is everything to us! He is our life; he is our hope; he is our future, and he is our redemption. He is everything to us! He is our security, and he is our Ref. No.:

And we thank him for all he has done for us, for the price he paid on the cross of Calvary. No man could pay it! Noah could not do it: He was not good enough. Abraham could not do it: He was not good enough. Moses could not pay the price: He was not good enough. Enoch could not pay the price: He was not good enough. Apostle Paul could not pay the price: He was not good enough. William Branham could not pay the price: He was not good enough. The end time John cannot pay the price: He is the worst of them all. But brothers and sisters, we have one who is worthy, who can pay the price, and who willingly paid the price, with his own life, Jesus Christ the righteous one, the Son of the Living God. And this morning, we owe him our lives. We give him all the praise. Unto the Lord shall all praise and glory be. Amen. It is good to have the brethren from all over the country, north, south, east, and west of Nigeria. I know that we have brethren from the various regions of Nigeria, even as far north as Nassarawa, in Kaduna State. It is a joy to have you all. We appreciate the saints from the United States, Togo, Ghana, South Africa, the United Kingdom etc. We are looking forward to having e v e r y o n e a g a i n i n November. We appreciate our precious brother, Brother Allen Henriques, the pastor of the church over there in Goa, India. He is such a lovely brother, v e r y h u m b l e, m o s t unassuming, and a very sensible man of God. He is standing gallantly for the Continuing truth of Jesus Christ, with all the saints over there in Goa, Brother John Fernandez, Brother Cedric Dias, Brother James Henriques, and all of them in the church. Hopefully, Brother John, who is the Assistant Pastor, will try logging on in Goa this morning, through the phone hook-up, together with the saints. It is our prayer that the Lord will bless them, and will help them with the connection. We appreciate them all, with all our brethren all around the globe, who are standing for the present truth, the Continuing light of Christ. Brother Wilbur and Sister Mira Jordan will also be coming in November, January 2013 God willing. They had to pull out from a church supposedly following the Message, in order to stand firmly for truth. May God bless them for their gallant stand, and may He also bless all the saints standing with them in the light. We appreciate Brother Jordan. It is good to have Brother Bobby Dodson, all the way from the United States. I appreciate the sacrifice he has made to be in these meetings again. May the Lord bless you my brother, for your stand for truth. Pray for us that God will help us, and pray for God's people around the world, because we are one. Amen. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). Let us turn our Bibles to the Book of Revelation Chapter 20. We will take it from verse 11: And I saw A GREAT WHITE THRONE, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT Ref. No.:

3 January 2013 written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were j u d g e d e v e r y m a n according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Amen. Brothers and sisters, tonight, we want to take a message titled, THE W H I T E T H R O N E J U D G M E N T. W h e n Brother Enoch Onyebuoha s t a r t e d h i s m e s s a g e yesterday night, and he got to a particular junction, and he was touching on certain things, I was just smiling; because he did not know what I was going to preach, and neither did I know what he was going to preach; but the Spirit of God is one. I smiled because I could see God's hand in it, and I realized God was doing s o m e t h i n g. H e w a s confirming His leadership into what I am led to preach today, and thus, He was setting a foundation for it. And when he finished his message, I went to him and said, Brother Enoch, something happened tonight. The message you took tonight, forms a foundation for my message tomorrow. I therefore pray that God will help me tonight, to share it in a way that everybody will leave this place, absolutely certain of where truth lays. It is going to be a long message, and as such, I will not be finishing tonight; and I will not be rushing it either. But by the time it is all done, it is my humble prayer that the Almighty God, the God of all true inspiration, will help me to do a good job in presenting the truth, so that every question concerning this issue will be settled, and that everyone will leave this place without a question or a doubt, over the things p r e s e n t e d f r o m t h e inspired Scriptures. That is my humble and sincere prayer, and I trust God to help me, for without Him, I can do absolutely nothing. Brothers and sisters, in the text we read tonight, right after the Millennium, the White Throne Judgment will be established. It is a serious prophetic event ahead of us, ahead of humanity: THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT. Page 3 And that is exactly what we want to look at tonight. However, saints of God, there is no way we can look at the White Throne Judgment, without first considering a number of things which all end up in that judgment. It requires us going back all through time, picking up the pieces of the puzzle, before we can lay everything forth at t h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment. In order to fully appreciate or understand the phenomenal crowd that will stand before the White Throne Judgment, and also in order to understand the White Throne Judgment itself, we have to go back through time, to show you who these people are, and how they got there. But not being an artist, or a graphic designer, the chart I am using for this message is my little way of showing an incredible and innumerable number of people, standing before the awesome Judgment Throne of God, a people who run into many billions. Brothers and sisters, I cannot project that on paper, because I am not an artist. I therefore ask that you bear with my poor chart. As I said before, in considering the White Throne Judgment, it is not possible to start just with THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT Ref. No.:

4 Page 4 that judgment, because we have to first lay out all the people who are going to stand before that Judgment Throne. It is important that we understand the cadre, or the calibre of people that will stand before that throne. And that is why we have to go back through time. Who are they? Consequently, the message requires us to go through time, right from Genesis, to bring out the people that will stand before God's Throne of Eternal Judgment. The questions we will be considering, therefore, are these: Who are these people? Who are they? What kind of body are they going to have in that Judgment? In other words: How do they appear there; in what body? And where is the White Throne Judgment set up? Is it on earth? Or is it in heaven? Where exactly is it constituted? All these are issues that we will look at in this message, for us to do justice to the subject. And may God bless His Word to our hearts. As I said before, when Brother Enoch was preaching yesterday, and he was talking about the resurrection, he was laying a foundation for my message, for that is p r e c i s e l y w h e r e m y message begins. We will start with the consideration of Resurrection, for that is what I will use as my launching pad into this message; because that is what is going to let us see the many billions of people that will be standing before t h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment. So, we are going to go back in time. But come with me to the Book of Daniel. I am trying to go slow tonight, and may God help me to go slow, because we have our precious brethren from Togo in a separate hall, watching on their own screen. The message is being interpreted to them in French. But because they are not in sight, it is hard for me to gauge my speed. And most times, when I get into the Spirit of my m e s s a g e, I f o r g e t completely, for I lose myself under the power of inspiration. So, I pray that God will help me tonight, because we do not want to lose them in the message. They came all the way from Togo, and it is so good to have them. So, I pray that God will put a rein on my ministering tempo tonight, because most times, I lose myself. I appreciate their understanding, for they are a lovely people. Brothers and sisters, look at it. When we see the line of the dead, January 2013 it starts way back from Abel. (Brother Amos points at the chart). But in Abel's day, man was already living in the age of conscience, or in t h e d i s p e n s a t i o n o f conscience, where God began to deal with men by their conscience, for there was no written law of God as yet. But the lack of a written law was irrelevant, for the conscience of men became the first writing of God, either convicting or reproving men, so that we can do right. So, from the hour of the fall in the Garden of Eden, we had m o v e d f r o m t h e dispensation of innocence, into the dispensation of conscience. Thus, coming to the birth of Abel, man w a s a l r e a d y i n t h e d i s p e n s a t i o n o f conscience, far removed and different from the dispensation of innocence. It was in the dispensation of innocence, man stood n a k e d a n d w a s n o t ashamed, and neither was he suffering any fleshly lust w h a t s o e v e r f o r t h e opposite sex. But it was a short period of time that that lasted though, because Adam was not created a baby; he was created an adult. And brethren, by the grace of God, in the book we produced titled, Religo,

5 January 2013 God helped us to go back to that Garden of Eden setting, to kind of see what age he was in the day he was created, giving us just an approximation of the age of Adam, when he was created. Are you with me? So, the age of innocence was very short. But man lost that age to sin. The fall of man therefore opened up t h e d i s p e n s a t i o n o f conscience, where God began to convict man, speaking to man through the voice of the conscience He had put in him, just as it is written in the Book of Romans Chapter 2, verses 14-15, which states: For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by n a t u r e t h e t h i n g s contained in the law, these, having not the law, a r e a l a w u n t o t h e m s e l v e s : W H I C H SHEW THE WORK OF THE LAW WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, THEIR C O N S C I E N C E A L S O BEARING WITNESS, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another). That conscience, brothers and sisters, is what God uses as the control tower, to convict man, to let him realize that He is God, and to show him the way of right, if he will submit to its gentle and silent tugging. Hence, you do not need to be a believer to know right from wrong! Whether you never heard the Gospel before or not, there is something in man, a conscience, that if you want to do evil, something tells you it is not good. You do not need to have heard the Gospel! It is the voice of God sounding t h r o u g h h u m a n conscience, although you can silence it, until you have what the Bible calls a s e a r e d c o n s c i e n c e, conscience seared with a hot iron ; one that has become hardened, in which the sensory nerves of the human conscience has been burnt out! So, the fact that there was no law in the days of Cain and Abel, for instance; the fact that we had not yet come to the dispensation of the law, did not take away the fact that the conscience of man is a law unto man, under God. Are you with me? In other words, and this is what I am simply saying: Nobody has any excuse for not walking in the light, and for not serving God, because by human conscience, God convicts man of His own presence. Period! And even in that day, the way of approach to God was already revealed, and it is Page 5 by the blood. So, from the age of conscience, men either lived right or wrong; and depending on how they lived, they began to die: The good and the bad, the just and the unjust, the r i g h t e o u s a n d t h e unrighteous. Eventually, God brought it to a close in the days of Noah. But the age of conscience did not stop with Noah. The age of conscience still moved on, till we came to the dispensation of the law. Are you with me? I am showing you what determines the slot people fall into as they die. Now, in Moses' day, the dispensation changed. That brought us into the dispensation of the law, where God's own divine will was now made manifest in black and white; because God wrote it on stony tablets, and He anointed Prophet Moses to deliver the law to Israel. And church, even then, if you look through time, there has been Gentile converts to Judaism. An example is Cornelius, the Ethiopian eunuch, and many other Gentile proselytes who were there on the Day of Pentecost. According to the Book of Acts Chapter 2, verse 10, many of the people who saw the effect of the outpouring of the

6 Page 6 Spirit, were people born in various places, like in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of R o m e, J e w s a n d PROSELYTES. The Lord manifested to the Gentile proselytes to Judaism in various ways, to let them know what He was doing in the earth! So, the fact that the Gentiles were not given the law, does not excuse them from serving God. Because do not forget, even before the law, man was acting under conscience, for he has a conscience to know right from wrong! Moreover, God sent a message through Noah, to show them the way of right, the way of salvation. Man is therefore without excuse, for rejecting the message of Noah. However, the issue is this: From the beginning of time, people had been dying with the progression of time, the righteous and the unrighteous, just and the unjust. This leads us to start with the consideration of resurrection. We will open to Daniel Chapter 12, verses 1-2, and it reads: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the g r e a t p r i n c e w h i c h standeth for the children of thy people (Israel): and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy p e o p l e s h a l l b e delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall a w a k e, S O M E t o everlasting life, AND SOME to shame and everlasting contempt. Saints, look at verse 2. It gives us the thought as if resurrection is a general one, one which takes place at the same time, both for the saved and the lost. And that whilst some enter into life eternal, others, on the other hand, enter into eternal damnation. That is how it reads! It reads as though there is a general resurrection of both categories of dead, but that is not the case at all! Let us therefore skip to verse 13, where the angel addressed Daniel specifically, talking of his resurrection portion, in what still appears like a general resurrection. Verse 13 records: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, AND STAND IN THY LOT at the end of the days. When is he to stand in his lot? It is at the resurrection! Taking this verse, and laying it with verse 2, it looks as though January 2013 t h e r e i s a g e n e r a l resurrection, both of The Just AND The Unjust, and Daniel would then stand in his own lot, with the class of the just. That is how it looks, if we go by the letter of the Word! Look at what is also written in John Chapter 5. We take verses 28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done g o o d, u n t o t h e resurrection of life; AND they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Here, Jesus g i v e s u s t h e t w o r e s u r r e c t i o n s : T h e resurrection of life, AND the resurrection of damnation o r p e r d i t i o n ; t h e resurrection of the just, and the resurrection of the unjust. But yet, the way it was spoken, it still looks as though both elements rise up at the last day, and enter into their different slots, just as the Angel declared in Daniel. It seems to confirm the thought of a general resurrection. And that is precisely how the nominal Gentile Christian world looks at it. They consider t h e s e p a s s a g e s o f Scripture with a traditional eye, and as such, they

7 January 2013 actually teach of a general resurrection. That is how traditional religion looks at truth. They look at truth with carnal understanding! Remember when Lazarus died and Jesus went to raise him up, after four days. So, there was no doubt to the fact that he was dead, because after three days, or after 72 hours, corruption sets in the body. Jesus therefore allowed corruption or decay to set in, before going to raise him up. Lazarus must have been stinking badly. When he got there, just look at the statement Martha made c o n c e r n i n g t h e resurrection. We will take the story from the Gospel of Saint John Chapter 11, beginning from verse 20: Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall r i s e a g a i n i n t h e resurrection AT THE LAST DAY. Brothers and sisters, up till this point in time, we must understand that God had not yet shed light on the truth of resurrection, other than to give us the promise of resurrection, thus giving us the hope of resurrection, a resurrection which looked l i k e a g e n e r a l o n e, comprising in that day of both (or of two) classes of people, the righteous and the unrighteous! In verses 25-26, Jesus proclaimed, s a y i n g : I A M T H E RESURRECTION, AND T H E L I F E : h e t h a t believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (in the resurrection): And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die, because whosoever believes in Jesus Christ has passed from death into life, in his soul redemption, which is completed by the infilling of the Holy Ghost! John Chapter 5, verse 24 confirms this truth, for Jesus declared: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my Word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; BUT IS PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE. In verses 25-26, Jesus re-affirms this truth, saying: Verily, Page 7 verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, AND NOW IS, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the F a t h e r h a t h l i f e i n Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in himself, and that he may give that life to all who dare to believe! However, coming back to the issue of resurrection, Martha's statement, saying that I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection AT THE LAST DAY, shows that, as at that material time, they were looking forward to a general resurrection of the just and the unjust, in the last day! But when we come to the Gospel of Saint Luke Chapter 14, Jesus Christ begins to open up the truth of resurrection, giving us the thought of a clear cut distinction in the two resurrections, that is, that of the just and the unjust. Verses records: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when

8 Page 8 thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: f o r t h o u s h a l t b e recompensed AT THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST. So, now, brothers and sisters, we see a fine t h o u g h t i n t r o d u c e d, showing us that there is a c l e a r c u t d i s t i n c t i o n between the resurrection of the just, and that of the u n j u s t, f o r b y t h i s d e c l a r a t i o n, t h e resurrection of the just is taken away, and thus separated from the time when that of the unjust will take place. But yet, and for all this knowledge, we are still not made to know that there is a great time difference between the two resurrections! As a matter of fact, there is a solid one thousand years between the first and second resurrection! It took Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, to t a k e t h e t r u t h o f resurrection, and break it down for us, giving us the details of the resurrection of the righteous; giving it in its t r u e p r o p h e t i c t i m e application. Saint Paul not only confirms that there are t w o m a i n t y p e s o f resurrection, the just and the unjust, he lets us know for certain that their timing is absolutely and entirely different. In other words, there is a first resurrection, and there is a second resurrection, both distinct in essence and timing. The first resurrection is that of the righteous, and the second resurrection is that of the unrighteous: That is, that of the saved, and that of the damned; or that of the good, and that of the wicked, respectively. I r e p e a t : T h e f i r s t resurrection is that of the just, whilst the second resurrection is strictly for those who are damned. However, Saint Paul also went a step further, to let us k n o w t h a t t h e f i r s t resurrection, which is the resurrection of the just, or of the righteous, is broken up into two main orders or groups, (or into two main batches or classes). This is so, because the saints of God who make up the first resurrection, do not all rise at that same time! In other words, they rise strictly according to their order or group, which are separate! Yet, they are all resurrected in the last day, which is figurative, for it gives us the last two thousand years of the Dispensation of grace, starting from the Day of January 2013 Pentecost! We are the ones living at the very tail end of the last day. Brothers and sisters, Apostle Paul broke the First resurrection into two classes or two categories. For that, we will turn to the Book of 1 Corinthians Chapter 15. But for a background, we take it from verse 12: Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not r i s e n, t h e n i s o u r preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false w i t n e s s e s o f G o d ; b e c a u s e w e h a v e testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. And that is so true. However, Christ rose from

9 January 2013 the dead, and that is what gives us a lively hope. Now watch from verse 20: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the FIRSTFRUITS of them that slept, (referring to the righteous). For since by man came death, by man c a m e a l s o t h e resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam ALL DIE, even so in Christ shall ALL (of God's children) BE MADE ALIVE. But every man IN HIS OWN ORDER. (In other words, the resurrection of the just, w h i c h i s t h e f i r s t resurrection, is set in different orders or groups. And what is the first order or class of saints to rise): C h r i s t T H E FIRSTFRUITS Let us hold it there. This gives us not only the resurrection of Jesus Christ, for he is the pre-eminent figure in this resurrection, it also includes the resurrection of all the Old Testament saints, beginning from Abel, who was the first to die, right up to the thief on the Cross, who rose up with Christ, after his resurrection! Saint Matthew Chapter 27, verses confirms this, for it declares: And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. This is the first order, or the first batch, of the first resurrection! C o m i n g b a c k t o 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, verse 23, Apostle Paul added, declaring: AFTERWARD, (that is, after Christ the firstfruits have resurrected, what order follows?) THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S, (which is the bride or the body of Christ; when?) AT HIS COMING. This gives us the second batch, or the second order of saints in the first resurrection. And this is precisely where the revelation of Apostle Paul c o n c e r n i n g t h e f i r s t resurrection stopped. Yet, the revelation of Jesus moved on, for it progressed in that day, just as it progressively moves on in this our day! Consequently, you have to follow the Continuity of scriptural revelation, in order to get the whole picture, because it was Apostle John whom Jesus used to give us the third and final order of the first resurrection, and that revelation did not come until 96 AD, when he was on the Isle of Patmos. In other words: Apostle Paul, Page 9 the star messenger to the first church age, did not preach everything! Even when my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was here, he did not preach everything, for he did not give us the breakdown of the first resurrection, in order to allow for progressive revelation! It took Saint Paul, writing by the inspiration of the Spirit of Christ, to give us the b r e a k d o w n w e j u s t considered. Yet, it was not complete, and we therefore have to take the Continuity light Saint John bore, and add it to the message of Christ which Apostle Paul laid down for the Gentile bride, in order to have the complete picture. Look at Revelation Chapter 20. We take it from verse 1: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that

10 Page 10 he must be loosed a little season. Now verse 4 is really where I am going, and it states: And I saw thrones (plural), and they (plural), sat upon them (plural), and judgment was given unto them (plural): and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and w h i c h h a d n o t worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED W I T H C H R I S T A THOUSAND YEARS. These tribulation saints resurrected at this point, just as the Judgment of nations was about to be set off, to determine the mortal millennial subjects, and they reigned with Christ for one thousand years! What order or batch is this? It is the third and final order of saints making up the first resurrection! Hence, verse 5 prophetically proclaimed: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION. In other words: THIS COMPLETES THE FIRST RESURRECTION! With the resurrection of this third order or third category of s a i n t s, t h e f i r s t resurrection, which is the resurrection of life eternal, is now complete. Verse 6 therefore adds: Blessed and holy is he that hath part (That means, blessed and holy is he that hath A PART), IN THE F I R S T R E S U R R E C T I O N, because that is the only resurrection that has eternal life attribute attached to it! That is the only resurrection in which anyone can partake to enter into life eternal! Therefore having a part, any part, in the three orders or the three batches of the first resurrection, is most blessed! Absolutely! We take verse 6 again: Blessed and holy is he that hath part, (a part), in the first resurrection: on such THE SECOND D E A T H H A T H N O POWER, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Amen. It simply means, that whosoever does not resurrect in any of the three orders making up the first resurrection, and is still IN the grave, is nothing b u t a w i c k e d d e a d, someone with no eternal January 2013 life attributes in him at all. And as such, he is bound for the lake of fire, for as it is implicitly written in this verse: On such the second death in the lake of fire, hath power or hold! Consequently, brothers and sisters, we can all see conclusively, that the first r e s u r r e c t i o n i s t h e resurrection of life, whilst the second resurrection is the resurrection of death or of damnation, for it gives the second death, which is death in the Lake of fire! It is an eternal separation from God. And there will be no righteous seed of God in that resurrection, being a resurrection of the unjust, and unto condemnation; it is a resurrection unto death; it is a resurrection of the wicked dead, not of the righteous, and hence, it is unto damnation. But seeing that the third and final order of the first resurrection, takes place just before the Millennium starts, and the s e c o n d r e s u r r e c t i o n, (which raises up all the wicked dead generally), takes place right after the Millennium, lets us see that there is one thousand years between the first and the second resurrections. Thus, as I stated earlier, their essence and timing a r e d i f f e r e n t. B u t

11 January 2013 remember, brothers and sisters, tonight, we are considering a message t i t l e d, T H E W H I T E THRONE JUDGMENT. Revelation Chapter 20, verses 11-15, states: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and a n o t h e r b o o k w a s opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Right here is where we see the White Throne Judgment, and billions of people standing before this throne. Again in the Book of Daniel Chapter 7, verses 9-10, it is written: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: THE JUDGMENT WAS SET, AND THE B O O K S W E R E OPENED. This gives us the same White Throne Judgment setting, having such an exceeding great crowd! In the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Jesus spoke of this Judgment in Chapter 10, verses 5-15: These twelve Jesus s e n t f o r t h, a n d c o m m a n d e d t h e m, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, Page 11 freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, N o r s c r i p f o r y o u r journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his m e a t. A n d i n t o whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, than for that city. We are looking at the White Throne Judgment, for that is the day Jesus was referring to in this passage. But again in Chapter 11, Jesus also s p o k e o f t h e s a m e Judgment, but now it is with respect to Chorazin, B e t h s a i d a, a n d Capernaum, saying from verse 20: Then began he to upbraid the cities

12 Page 12 wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon AT THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, than f o r y o u. A n d t h o u, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, than for thee. Brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus is taking all these people straight to the White Throne Judgment. The question we are first trying to answer, which is why we first considered the two resurrections, is this: Who are these standing before the White Throne? That is what we want to bring out, for we need to go back in time to establish this! But in order to do so, we have had to first c o n s i d e r t h e t w o resurrections. With this k n o w l e d g e o r understanding, we can now go back in time, picking up the pieces of the dead people before the throne, all through time, beginning from Genesis. Brothers and sisters, let us now go through time, and see the longsuffering of God Almighty. Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, and this brought judgment and death to man. Outside the Garden setting, Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel. But the first man to die was Abel, who was killed by Cain. Remember, the world is only about six thousand years old. I am referring strictly to our world, which is the era of man, for the planet itself has been here for untold millions of years. But from the hour of Adam to the hour when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, is about four thousand years. So, let us go back about 3875 BC, before the Dispensation of Christ. Here is Abel: He offered his animal sacrifice to God, showing he was under the blood, which in turn shows that he looked forward to Jesus, the Lamb January 2013 of God. He was killed by Cain because of his revelation, and he was the first man to die on this planet. Brothers and sisters, when Abel died, his soul went to hell, but to the region of the just in hell, for hell was the prison house for all souls in that day, both the just and the unjust. (Brother Amos points to the chart). Abel went to the region of the just, or to the region of the righteous, in the grave. He belongs to the category of saints who are represented here in the blue line. On the other hand, I have the red line to represent the region of the wicked, or of the lost, in the grave. But remember, in that day, only the white robe saints and the wicked dead, were in the grave. Are you with me? Abel was the first one to die, and his body was buried in the earth, and his soul went into prison, into the paradise part of hell, because there were two regions in hell in that day, the region of the saved, and the region of the lost. Abel therefore belongs to the blue line. The region of the saved was called paradise. Brothers and sisters, Abel died without producing a seed. His body was buried in the grave. God had to appoint Adam

13 January 2013 another seed, by the name of Seth. Brothers and sisters, he married his sister, and the lineage of Adam continued. Cain, who killed Abel, also married his half-sister, and they started producing Cain's lineage. We also remember that the devil also later came to introduce mixed marriages, in order to defile the pure genetic attributes of the sons and daughters of God. I will remind you that we will not fully appreciate The White Throne Judgment, if we do not have a true understanding of Genesis. Are you with me? Hence we are starting from the beginning, and we are taking it right to The White Throne Judgment, to see precisely what group of people God is judging. We have got to see the genesis of everything. In the beginning, brothers and sisters, there were two very opposite and distinct streams of humanity: The Sethite lineage, (which was the lineage of the sons of God), AND the Cainite lineage, (which was the lineage of the sons of the Serpent, Satan's vicarious children, begotten through the Serpent creature). Are you with me? Both of them were procreating. They were both giving birth in their different camps to their respective seeds, giving the world two completely different and distinct classes or groups of humanity. And both groups were also dying with the passage of time. But if the devil did not make another move, to introduce mixed marriages in the earth in that day, the earth would have remained populated with two very d i s t i n c t g r o u p s o f humanity: Sons and daughters of God, AND sons and daughters of the devil. So, the devil was not content with just having seeds. He had to bring about mixed marriages, in order to bring down the pure genetic soul state of the children of God, so that they do not hear God anymore, and thus become rebellious. And as such, they will live for him the devil, rather than for God. Church, God allowed the devil to do that as well, knowing precisely when He would bring it to a close, and what exactly He would use it to accomplish. Subsequently, God sent Noah with a message, to protest the evil that was going on, because the wickedness of man was so great, that it grieved God in His heart that He made Page 13 man. What grieved God was not the Serpent seeds; what grieved God was His own children. You are never g r i e v e d o v e r y o u r n e i g h b o u r ' s c h i l d misbehaving. I said you cannot be grieved over the child of your neighbour who is misbehaving; because after all, he is not your child! By the time night falls, he goes back to his own home! But you are grieved when y o u r o w n c h i l d i s misbehaving. That is what grieves your heart! You cannot have sleepless nights because your n e i g h b o u r ' s c h i l d i s misbehaving. What will give you sleepless nights is y o u r o w n c h i l d misbehaving! So, what grieved God was not the Serpent seeds; what grieved God was His own c h i l d r e n : B e c a u s e a Serpent seed cannot but be a Serpent seed! God cannot expect a Serpent seed to live for Him, which was why God did not bother Himself with the most wicked and impudent attitude of Cain! He does not expect anything but evil from a Serpent seed. And as such, He cannot be grieved for a Serpent seed! It was His own children that grieved His heart, as recorded in Genesis

14 Page 14 Chapter 6! God therefore sent Noah with a message, and Noah came declaring to the people: ENTER THE ARK OR PERISH! God is going to destroy this whole world with water. Your only saving grace is to enter the ark, for it is the only place of refuge. COME INTO THE ARK AND LIVE! COME! Even the lineage of Noah did not listen to him, showing that Satan had done extensive damage to the genetic state of God's people! None of them listened to Noah! They had lost something in their God essence. And church, the flood came, although many souls of the lineage of Seth had also passed away before the flood, like Methuselah, Lamech, Enos, etc, when the flood came, only the eight souls in the ark were saved. Every other soul perished in the flood, both righteous and unrighteous; both seeds and non-seeds! The souls of all the dead remained in the belly of the earth, in the prison house called hell, some in the paradise part of hell, and most others were in the region of the damned. Coming out of the flood, God started the process of repopulating the earth, using Noah's three sons and their wives, to start afresh. They also began to reproduce and multiply. But do not also forget, that with the passage of time, people were also dying, putting in the belly of the earth, both righteous and unrighteous souls. Are you with me? God raised up a man by the name of Abraham, who was used to produce the Hebrew children. Then God called Moses to carry the Torah for the Hebrews, which speaks of Jesus Christ, because the Law pointed forward to him, being a shadow of the realities in Christ. And like we heard yesterday, as they were making animal sacrifices, they were making them, looking forward to the Messiah that was going to come, who would shed his blood once and for all. Moses brought them all out of Egypt. But still, each one of them began to die with the passage of time, both righteous and unrighteous. But the righteous died in hope! They died in hope, looking forward to Jesus, the Messiah that was to come! Under the ministry of Joshua, the children of Israel were established in Palestine, and the nation grew. Whilst the nations of the earth carried on in idolatry, the Jews were January 2013 worshipping Jehovah. Only a few Gentile proselytes here and there were worshipping Elohim, the G o d o f I s r a e l. Nevertheless, people were dying all over the earth, b o t h r i g h t e o u s a n d unrighteous. But when Jesus came and died on the Cross of Calvary, and he was buried, something happened on the third day, when he rose from the dead, for there we see the beginning of something. We read it tonight in Matthew Chapter 27, verses When he rose from the dead on the third day, the graves of the saints opened, giving us the Old Testament saints, (not the New Testament saints, because the New Testament church had not yet been born as at then). The graves of the Old Testament saints were opened, and they were resurrected, right after the resurrection of Jesus Christ! This gives us the Christ the FIRSTFUITS of 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, verse 23! Brothers and sisters, this took out from the grave, all the saints that had died up to this point, RIGHT FROM ABEL, who was the first to die, TO THE THIEF ON THE CROSS! And at this very point in

15 January 2013 time, there was no dead body of any seed of God in the belly of the earth, for all had been raised up, and t a k e n t o h e a v e n! Consequently, from the point of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, going back in time to Genesis, only the bodies of the wicked dead, those without any eternal life attribute in them at all, remained in the belly of the earth! All of God's children were resurrected: Abel, Adam and Eve, Seth, Jared, Methuselah, Mr and Mrs Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, David, Isaiah, Daniel, Malachi, John the Baptist, and finally, the thief on the Cross! Brothers and sisters, this is the first batch, or the first order, of the first resurrection. So, from this point; from this precise point here, (Brother Amos points to the chart), going back to Genesis, there is no more righteous in the ground. All that remains in the ground are strictly the wicked dead. From this point when Jesus rose with the saints who make up the first fruits of the first resurrection, going backwards, there was no more righteous in the belly of the earth. That is why on my chart, I made the blue line go up, in order to show t h a t t h e r e w a s a resurrection right here, right at the Cross, after the resurrection of our Lord the Christ, following which all the Old Testament saints rose up with him into heaven. According to the inspired testimony of Apostle Paul in Ephesians Chapter 4, verse 8, it is written: When he (Jesus) ascended up on high, he led captivity captive. He carried all the souls of God's children that were in the belly of the earth, up to that point in time, and ascended up to heaven with them, thus leading captivity captive. They were resurrected, spirit, soul, and body, as it is written: And the graves were opened; and many (uncountable) BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY. They had picked up their glorified bodies, and went up to paradise with the Lord. Only the bodies and souls of the wicked dead, going right back to Genesis, remained in the belly of the earth from that point on. Period! Please note that. Only the bodies and souls o f t h e w i c k e d d e a d remained in the belly of the Page 15 earth from that point, going back to Genesis. The church was born fifty days after the resurrection of Christ. And from that point on, the two categories of people have also continued to die, the righteous and the unrighteous. And as we speak, both elements of humanity have their bodies in the grave, and will continue to do so, until the rapture. However, from the b e g i n n i n g o f t h e dispensation of grace, two elements of righteous people are now being produced from that point on, the bride saints, which is represented by the blue line, which is Christ's body, AND another class of saints we call the tribulation saints, made up of both Jews and Gentiles, a distinct class of saints from t h e b r i d e. T h e y a r e represented in the yellow line that starts from the opening of the grace age. I will come back to the tribulation saints later, to lay t h e m o u t f r o m t h e Scriptures. But they are represented in the yellow line, which starts from the opening up of the grace age, the same time with the bride saints. The Gentile tribulation saints at this point, are those who do not live long enough to bear

16 Page 16 any fruits before they die, after accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, similar to the thief on the cross, sort of a near death bed salvation. Later on, another class of Gentile tribulation saints are added to them in the yellow line, from the beginning of the seventh and final church age, which is the beginning of the 1900s, and they are c a l l e d t h e f o o l i s h v i r g i n s. T h e s e t w o c l a s s e s o f G e n t i l e tribulation saints are represented in the yellow line. But as I stated earlier, with the emptying out from the grave, the bodies of the Old Testament saints, who make up the firstfruits of the first resurrection, leaves only the bodies of the wicked dead in the grave, to that point in time, going way back to Genesis. Period! This brings us to the second phase, or to the second b a t c h, o f t h e f i r s t resurrection, which is the only resurrection that has eternal life attached to it. I will call this second order, the second fruits of the first resurrection. So, when are they going to rise? That is precisely why we are here today! That is what we are studying this for, for we must be clothed with the p u r e a n d c o m p l e t e revelation of the Word of Christ! That is what we are living for! That is what we believe God for! That is the blessed hope we have as the elect bride of Christ! But I repeat: From this point going backward, that is, from the resurrection of Christ the firstfruits, looking back to Genesis, there is no more seed of God in the earth. Yet, again, from this point forward, people have been dying, both righteous and unrighteous, right up to this very day. But the red line, which represents the wicked dead, go way back in time, going way back to Genesis, and it also continues on unbroken, even as we speak, for God does not touch that line at all, until the end of everything, for it leads straight to The White Throne Judgment! Are you with me? But from the time of the early church, the righteous began to fall asleep; but so also did the wicked. The question now is this: When will the righteous, which make up the second order of the first r e s u r r e c t i o n, b e resurrected? We are talking of the second batch of the first resurrection, which is the bride, Christ's January 2013 body. This now gives us the limit of Apostle Paul's revelation on this matter, and with this second batch, his revelation stopped, just as we showed earlier. When is the bride going to resurrect? It takes us back to 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, verse 23B, where Saint Paul declared: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; AFTERWARD they that are Christ's, (which is his body, the bride), AT HIS COMING. So, what does this show us? It shows us that the resurrection of the bride church, will take place at the second coming of Jesus; not his second physical coming, but at his mystical or secret coming, when he takes his bride away in the rapture! Halleluiah! When will that happen? In this day, at the opening of the seventieth week of Daniel! It is right here. (Brother Amos points to the chart). Once the Last Week starts, the rapture will take place right there, for the dead in Christ will rise first, and then we living saints will be changed, before we are caught up together with them, to meet the Lord in the air. Consequently, in that day, out of the grave will come the bodies of Apostle Paul,

17 January 2013 Peter, James, John, Jude, Bartholomew, Sisters Mary and Martha, with Brother Lazarus. I say Lazarus because Lazarus died again, after Christ raised him up in that day. He went by the way of the grave! And tonight, as we are speaking, he is still waiting for his p h y s i c a l c h a n g e. Halleluiah! He is waiting for his own lot! Daniel belongs to the lot of the firstfruits. (Brother Amos points to the chart). Daniel has gone up. And His children began to fall in the ground. But we are heading straight towards the resurrection of the bride saints, which will bring out Martin Luther, John Wesley, William Seymour, William Branham and Sister Meda, Raymond Jackson and Sister Opal etc. It is in this day that the sleeping bride saints will rise, and the living saints will be changed, and both will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air, even as Apostle Paul d e c l a r e d i n 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4, verse 16-17, saying: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. And when will that be? When the last week of Daniel opens up, because our translation hangs upon the opening of that week! The week will be opened up by the pact the Pope of Rome will make w i t h I s r a e l a n d t h e European nations! Then the rapture can take place any day, and at any time thence! Brothers and sisters, the bride saints, making up the second o r d e r o f t h e f i r s t resurrection, will rise right here. (Brother Amos points to the chart). However, please note that after the rapture, that is, after the resurrection of the bride saints, the bodies of some righteous people, (or of saints of God), will still remain in the grave. Who are these ones? They are the tribulation saints we talked about earlier, who are represented in the yellow line, made up of both Jews and Gentiles, all through the grace age, right from the time of the early church; right from the Day of Pentecost! And that is why in Revelation Chapter 20, verse 4, the Page 17 Bible uses prophetic p h r a s e o l o g y o r terminology, to identify the two groups of righteous people. It says: souls o f t h e m t h a t w e r e beheaded FOR THE WITNESS OF JESUS, (referring to the Gentiles foolish virgins), and FOR THE WORD OF GOD, (referring to the Jewish saints, who do not have the witness of Jesus, for they are not believers in Jesus, but only believe the Torah, which is the Word of God). For instance, under the fifth seal in Revelation Chapter 6, verses 9-11, we see the souls of Jewish saints, who were under the altar in heaven, which is paradise, crying for vengeance, which is an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, according to the provisions of the Torah, showing that they are Jews under Judaism, and not Christian believers, who turn the other cheek! And right there in heaven they were given white robes of salvation! The Jews are therefore the ones that have the testimony of the To r a h, w h i c h i s t h e testimony of the Word of God, for this is how their identity is veiled or disguised, in the prophetic Book of Revelation! On the

18 Page 18 other hand, the Gentiles have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Consequently, these two groups of tribulation saints are not part of the b r i d e c h u r c h ; b u t nevertheless, they are part of God's redeemed family. Their bodies will therefore remain in the belly of the earth, in the yellow line that started after the birth of the church on Pentecost, along with the wicked dead of all ages, who are in the red line, from way back in Genesis. But I ask: When do these tribulation saints rise? Just right here at the end of the 70th week, but right before the Millennium starts. We saw that in Revelation Chapter 20, verse 4-6. Just as the Judgment of nations are set, before the Millennium commences, there is a r e s u r r e c t i o n o f t h e tribulation saints, who have in their FOREFRONT, the saints who died in the last week of Daniel, for refusing to take the mark of the beast, and for refusing to worship his image, and also for rejecting the number of the beast in their foreheads, which is the number of the Anti-Christ. The rest of the tribulation saints follow them in this last batch of the r e s u r r e c t i o n o f t h e righteous. The Bible says they rose and reigned with Christ for one thousand solid years! So, who are t h e y? T h e y a r e t h e tribulation saints, made up of both Jews and Gentiles! And this resurrection, which happens after the last week of Daniel, but before the Millennium starts, is what completes the first resurrection. Whatever remains in the belly of the earth at this point in time, going all the way back to Genesis, ARE THE WICKED DEAD! They are the ones we have in this red line, going all the way back to Genesis. In other words: At the beginning of the Millennium, there is no more any righteous body in the grave. Period! That is why the yellow line stops right here, for here at the b e g i n n i n g o f t h e M i l l e n n i u m, i s i t s terminating point. (Brother Amos points to the chart). And right at this point, right here at the end of the 70th week, is where the last days come to a literal close. What last days? The last days of human era! The last days of human rulership of the planet! This is where it ends. That is the end for man! God takes over from that point on! Because when Jesus is coming on a white horse, January 2013 with all the saints, do not forget, it is our God coming! It is our God who is coming, because it is still God invested in the fullness of all His attributes in His Son, Jesus the Christ! Full stop! Brothers and sister, we are saying something. Do not forget we are talking about THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT. That is ultimately where we are going with the first and second resurrection we are tracing, for we have to identify the people that are coming here before that Throne. So, in order to identify the billions that are coming before the White Throne, we have to go to Genesis, to trace them right from way back there, picking up their pieces, bringing them before the Throne. That is why I said, none of the bodies of the righteous people of God who lived in the Old Testament, from the hour of Adam, to the thief on the Cross, are in the grave, as we speak. They went up from this point, of the resurrection of Christ. And now, today, it is the bodies of the righteous people of God, who lived in the New Testament Dispensation, who are in the belly of the earth, made up of Jews and Gentiles. But right here, at

19 January 2013 the opening of the last week of Daniel, is where the bride saints are resurrected, and there we go up. So, what bodies of God's people remains in the belly of the earth after that? It is only the bodies of the tribulation saints that will remain, made up of Jews and Gentiles. Is that right? Yes! It is the tribulation saints whose bodies remain in the earth. You see their souls under the altar of God in heaven, in Revelation Chapter 6, verses 9-11, under the fifth seal. We also see them before the throne of God in heaven, in Revelation Chapter 7, verses And finally, we also see them on a sea of glass mingled with fire in heaven, in Revelation Chapter 15, verses 1-3. They are the ones left in the graves, till the Millennium is about to start. And right there before the Millennium is set in motion, they are resurrected to pass into the M i l l e n n i u m, t h u s completing the three b a t c h e s o f t h e f i r s t resurrection, leaving only the bodies of the wicked dead in the grave, going way back to Genesis, represented in this red line, which is an unbroken line. In other words, there is no more any single body of righteous people in the g r a v e, w h e n t h e Millennium starts, except and only except that of the wicked dead. For all that remain in the grave, are the wicked dead, right from way back in the beginning. We are not even told which of them died first, and we do not need to know who died first, for it makes no difference, whether it is Cain, or his children: They are all the same, for they are all Serpent seeds! I am talking specifically of the wicked dead! Therefore, we do not care who of them died first, for it does not matter which of them died first! So, please, do not ask me: Brother Amos, who died first among the wicked dead? They are all going to hell anyway, regardless of who died first! So, there is no virtue in that knowledge! Come on! And although the goat nations are slayed or killed by the sword in the mouth of Christ, at the Judgment of Nations, just before the Millennium starts, do not forget that they are wicked p e o p l e, b e i n g g o a t elements of people from the various nations, preserved on the Day of the Lord. At the start of the Millennium, they will be the latest additions to the Page 19 wicked dead in the grave. And church, as I stated earlier, the resurrection of the tribulation saints right here, just before the M i l l e n n i u m s t a r t s, c o m p l e t e s t h e f i r s t resurrection, and that is precisely why I have the blue line terminating at this point on my chart. It simply means that in the belly of the earth, there is no more a n y r i g h t e o u s b o d y. Whoever therefore does not partake in one of the three orders of the first resurrection, is not of God, pure and simple. He belongs to this class of people appointed strictly for the second resurrection. And where are they going to come forth? Right there at the White Throne judgment! That is precisely where they are going to come forth, for they are the wicked dead, people who have no eternal life attribute to them at all. However, brothers and sisters, you know what? When we even consider the Millennium, which is a thousand years, there will still be death for the Millennial mortal subjects, for death is the only penalty for misbehaving in the Millennium, because it is not yet the eternal age.

20 Page 20 Death is strictly used as the only penalty for evil living, a n d i t i s t h e r e f o r e d i s c i p l i n a r y. C a p i t a l punishment is what God e s t a b l i s h e s i n t h e Millennium, to deal with unregenerated mankind. Because, do not forget, the mortal elements of people who make up the Millennial subjects, a people God allows to pass into the M i l l e n n i u m, a r e n o t redeemed people, for they are not believers. And as s u c h, t h e y h a v e unregenerated souls, though elected into that category; for they are f o r e k n o w n a n d foreordained of God. They will pass into the Millennium as mortal subjects, over whom Christ and his bride will rule and reign, and who will also be used to repopulate the earth in the Millennium. They are also elected of God for that purpose, for they are the servant-type people we will rule over. But at the end of the Millennium, they are given eternal life, for they enter into life, just as Matthew Chapter 25, verse 34, along with verse 46, reveals. However, since they will give birth to children in the Millennium, if their children do not live right, death is the only penalty they will face. So, death still continues in the Millennium, but only as j u d g m e n t f o r t h e unrighteous. If a man is born in the Millennium, and he lives right, he has the freedom or the chance, to live out the entire Millennial period. But if he does not behave, eventually, after he is about a hundred years old, he will be put to death, and his body will fall into the belly of the earth, to join the wicked dead that have been piling up in the grave, all through time. Brothers and sisters, that lets us know that in the Millennium, there is not one righteous mortal subject that will be added to the belly of the grave. I said in the Millennium, there is not one righteous mortal subject who will be added to the belly of the grave! That lets us see why at the end of the Millennium, J e s u s c a l l e d t h e m r i g h t e o u s, a n d a l s o declared that they enter into life ETERNAL! This lets us see that longevity of life has been restored indeed, for the righteous mortal subjects will live to be more than one thousand years old, when they enter into eternity! Why do I say that? It is simply because whatever age they attain at January 2013 the institution of the Judgment of Nations, we must add that age to the Millennial period of one thousand years! And let me also say this: There is going to be an element of mortals, (and please listen to me now), whose beginning is in this New Testament Age, and who saw when Israel was restored back as a nation in 1948, maybe as a ten year old, or as an early teenager, being living witnesses, who will live to pass into the Millennium, as a living element of the Jewish nation. Remember, an element of Jews who make up the spiritual element of the Jewish nation, will be preserved in America, in the last week. They will pass as Jewish mortals into the Millennium, to repopulate the Jewish race. But remember this: They do not die, and they w i l l l i v e t h e e n t i r e Millennium! So, that lets us see that at the end of the Millennium, they will be well over a thousand years old! My! Coming back to the Sheep nation subjects, they will also be over one thousand years at the end o f t h e M i l l e n n i u m. Remember, I am not talking of the children they bear in the Millennium, but of the s h e e p n a t i o n s e l e c t

21 January 2013 subjects themselves! But their children who are born in the Millennium, can live out the entire period making t h e b a l a n c e o f t h e Millennium, from the point of their birth. However, if they misbehave and will not mend, they must die. Their bodies are simply added to the red line, representing the wicked dead of all time, right from Genesis. After the Millennium, before the White Throne Judgment is set up, but right after the Millennium, something has to happen. This brings us to the war of Gog and Magog of Revelation Chapter 20. This is a war that the devil ignites right here, after the thousand years of Christ's blissful and peaceful reign expires. For after the thousand years, Satan must be loosed again for a s h o r t s e a s o n. W h y? Because the mortal children born in the Millennium would not have been tested at all, and so, they need to be tested! This is so, because there is absolutely nothing that will pass into life eternal, which has not been tested for faithfulness, even though the tests are always different, depending on the dispensation! We must realise that God's requirement are not the same in all dispensations, although every test is determined by the will of God for that particular hour of time! It all depends upon the message of God, which is the will of God for the hour! Nothing enters eternity without going through a divine test. Nothing! We are facing our own test today, and they will face their own test in that day. But may God help us to be faithful, for it is very costly to fail the test of the Word. And as simple as the test may seem, if a person is not an elect among the mortal subjects, he cannot overcome this test. As simple as it looks, he cannot pass it, for it will still take a divine dealing of God in the heart of mortals, for them to overcome this test. Do not forget that Satan is the greatest sophist! He can talk! When I think of his power of sophistry, it reminds me of Barak Obama. When he is talking, university students, bankers, young and old, are all mesmerized! He can talk; but he knows nothing of God! You are not hearing me. He can talk you into anything! He talked the Americans into believing that once he became president, paradise has come, for change has come! How disappointed Page 21 they were, even though he was not responsible for the terrible state of things he inherited from George W. Bush! And they are still waiting for the change he promised! When he got into government, he realized that governance is a different kettle of fish! You cannot just get there and simply say, I want to change this And I want that to change... Who are you? THIS IS SATAN'S WORLD! Satan rules his kingdom, and he is the author of chaos! Therefore, he cannot allow or inspire men to do right; and neither will he allow for a peaceful a n d p r o s p e r o u s a n d righteous ordering of things, for that is anti his nature and desire! Such good or noble attributes are expressions of God, not of Satan! Satan reigns in corruption, greed, evil, selfishness, immorality, crime and violence, and in a l l f o r m s o f unrighteousness! He is Mr Chaos! That is Satan for you! Obama is not even a believer, and he wants to change America! But the issue is, brothers and sisters, Satan is a great sophist! When he stands at the end of the Millennium, through the Obamas of that era of time, to inspire and to

22 Page 22 convince them to rebel, they will follow! Only grace will enable an element of mortal p e o p l e b o r n i n t h e Millennium to say, No, I am not following you to do such a thing! I say that because the arguments he will p r o f f e r, a n d t h e presentation he will make, will be so seemingly f a u l t l e s s a n d overwhelming, that only grace can make a person not fall for it, as Eve fell for the deception of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden! That is why I said earlier, that as simple as it is, if God is not with a person, he will certainly not overcome it! The revelation of the will of God is always a standard. Nothing else can overcome the onslaught of the devil! Nothing else will! The testing of the children born in the Millennium, is revealed in Revelation Chapter 20, verses 7-10, which states: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, GOG AND MAGOG, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of t h e e a r t h, a n d compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Saints of God, Satan simply revives that Atheist spirit, which is that God hating s p i r i t, w h i c h R u s s i a e p i t o m i s e s o r characterises, being A LIBERAL SPIRIT, one without God, living strictly for the flesh, for Russia as Gog and Magog, is in the forefront of this prophetic global rebellion. This lets us see where this spirit will rise from in that day. The devil will go throughout the length and breadth of the earth, to inspire the Millennial subjects, to come against Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and against his bride. It is a coup! They want to overthrow a righteous rule! He will preach through very powerful orators in that hour, the need to stand up and fight for their human r i g h t s! T h e R i g h t s January 2013 Movement, which Martin Luther King Jnr. birthed, and which opened up the door of hell to all other rights, including that of gays and lesbians, and that of the crude and rude invasion of privacy, which they call the right of free speech and news (or information), will once again be raised up! Like our b r o t h e r w a s s a y i n g yesterday, the Millennium is not the perfect age, but nevertheless, it is a Utopia; a reign of great peace and prosperity, all over the globe! It is still not the perfect day, but what bliss, and what peace the earth w i l l h a v e! W h a t a prosperous hour, when no armed robber can come and tell you: Give me the keys. Are you with me? What a world where children do not have to be afraid to play outside on their own, because there are no paedophiles or child molesters and rapists; no gays and lesbians; no gangs and no cocaine peddlers; no brothels and no beer parlours; no crime and no violence of any sort; but prosperity, security, peace, and global bliss, for one thousand solid years! It is the reign of the righteous, and it is a rule of peace! As it is written, the knowledge of

23 January 2013 the Lord shall cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea! But following this era, Satan is going to stir humanity in a serious outright rebellion against the Lord. They will try to cause a revolution. They will be demanding for RIGHTS : The right to live as they choose; the right to believe and worship as they choose; the right to freedom of speech; the right to determine self-governance etc. In other words, they will want to reject Theocracy, which is the Government of God on earth! They will want to revert back to democracy, which is really DemonCRAZY! They w a n t S E C U L A R I S M! Lucifer manages to deceive the greater percentage of the Millennial children, for their parents who make up the sheep nation subjects, will not go along with the deception, having already passed their own test, and knowing precisely the awesome power and divine authority Jesus holds! They have seen his most glorious a n d a w e some p o w e r display on the Day of the Lord, way back there at the end of the last week, much enough to know that the Millennial children are joking! But their children did not see any such thing, for they were not yet in existence at in that day, and as such, it is all fables to them! And herein lays their test for eternity. The Bible says that Satan deceived so many, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Look at the population of the world today. It is well over the six billion mark. Look at the population of America. It is not yet 500 years old since it was founded; but look at its population! You can then i m a g i n e w h a t t h e population of the world will be in that day, when there is longevity of life, and when prosperity is on every side! It is written: And they went up on the breadth of t h e e a r t h, a n d compassed the camp of the saints about, (in their various national capitals), AND the beloved city (of Jerusalem, the capital city of the whole world in that day): AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURED THEM. So, it is not just Jerusalem t h e y a r e g o i n g t o encompass, but also the camp of the saints around the globe, in their national capitals, where they are reigning! This passage also lets us see that this war is actually a Non-war, Page 23 for not one shot will be fired: for as they set themselves in a ready position to make their move, fire instantly and suddenly comes down from heaven, and wipes them out, literally! But they have all made their stand, for or against God, upon which their eternal destiny will now be judged. This now brings us to THE W H I T E T H R O N E JUDGMENT. But do not forget, as the Millennium is a b o u t t o s t a r t, a resurrection takes place, the third fruit of the first r e s u r r e c t i o n, w h i c h c o m p l e t e s t h e f i r s t resurrection. This brings out of the belly of the earth, every remaining body of the seeds of God. So, that leaves in the earth, all through the Millennium, only the bodies of the wicked dead, which go way back through time, right from the days of Cain and Abel. Are you with me? These people, brothers and sisters, making up the red line of the wicked dead of all ages of human time, are now resurrected, to come and stand before THE W H I T E T H R O N E JUDGMENT, just as the Throne is set up! THIS IS T H E S E C O N D RESURRECTION: It is the resurrection of the wicked

24 Page 24 dead; people who have no eternal life attribute in them at all. I call them the doubledead: because they died the first time in the flesh, and then they are now going to be sent to the lake of fire, to die the second death, which is spiritual death, for it is death to their soul, which will be burnt out of existence, thus bringing about eternally separated from God. It is not that they will be in the Lake of fire eternally; it is that they are eternally separated from the Almighty God. Period! The Book of Revelation Chapter 20, verses 11-15, now records: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I SAW THE DEAD, small and great, STAND BEFORE GOD; and the books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were j u d g e d e v e r y m a n according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Right here is where we have the second resurrection, for it is before THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT that the second resurrection takes place, a resurrection which is a general resurrection of all the wicked dead, which is represented on our chart by the red line, dating way back to Genesis. But the next question we now want to consider is: Who is on the throne? John Chapter 5, verse 22 states: For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed ALL JUDGMENT unto the Son. The last judgment is that of death in the lake of fire, which brings us to The White Throne Judgment, in this prophetic setting, which Christ will adjudicate u p o n. 1 C o r i n t h i a n s Chapter 15, verse 25-26, declares concerning Jesus Christ, saying: For he (Christ) must reign, till He (God) hath put all enemies under his feet, (which is the feet of Jesus Christ). The last enemy that shall be destroyed is January 2013 death. And where will death be destroyed? At the White Throne Judgment! This puts Jesus Christ right on the White Throne, as the Chief Judge, by the investment of God the Father, for he is veiled with the power and the authority of the Eternal Spirit God, as King AND Judge of the whole earth. However, he is not alone in that judgment. Come with me to 1 Corinthians Chapter 6, and we will take it from verse 1: Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to j u d g e t h e s m a l l e s t matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? Halleluiah! So, brothers and sisters, we are going to judge the world, and we are also going to judge angels. But you must understand however, that it is not that we are going to pronounce judgment on angels; it is the fact that we are sitting on thrones alongside our Husband in that day, who is The King A N D J u d g e o f a l l,

25 January 2013 adjudicating or presiding over the matter! Are you with me? Because as his wife, we are the Queen of the King, sitting on thrones over that judgment! Coming before the Great White Throne, will be three elements of beings. There are three main elements of beings that are going to stand before the Great White Throne Judgment. Firstly, we have the wicked dead of all ages, right from Genesis. Is that right? Yes! They will be there in their billions! Secondly, we have the children born in the Millennium to the sheep nations. I am referring to the Millennial subjects, who will probably also run into their billions. They are the second class of humanity that will appear before this Great White Throne. The third and final class of beings before The Great White Throne, are spirit beings. Who are they? They are angels, fallen angels, in their millions upon millions and millions! Do not forget that Lucifer was able to deceive a whole one third of God's angels. Our brother was preaching on it last night, when he went into the Book of Revelation, and we saw that thousands times t e n t h o u s a n d u p o n thousands of angels, were giving worship to God. So, they are in their mega millions! Think about it! The Book of Hebrews Chapter 12, verse 22, says of Mount Zion, that we have come to A N I N N U M E R A B L E company of angels! And one third of angels fell along with Lucifer. So, when you look at the White Throne Judgment, we are looking at myriads upon myriads of fallen angels, as there are myriads and myriads of humanity! What a judgment! And what a setting! So, these are the three classes of beings before the throne: The children born in the Millennium; the wicked dead of all ages; and all the fallen angels. And on the full authority of Revelation Chapter 20, verses 11-15, it is at this point that they resurrect, right there before the Throne. This is the second resurrection, and there is no eternal life to it at all, only certain death. It is certain death, because it is the resurrection unto c o n d e m n a t i o n o r damnation. However, God will not send anybody to the lake of fire, without first bringing him to judgment, so that he can see that he deserves his punishment. It is to show the fairness and the justice of God, for Page 25 He is a righteous God. We thank God for His grace upon our lives. Halleluiah! It is good to follow the Lord in His light, because if God did not open our eyes, we will see nothing. It is just God's mercy we are enjoying, for that is what makes the difference. Nevertheless, this is where the second resurrection takes place. The Lord pulls out from the earth, all the wicked dead of all ages, every last one of them. And that lets us see that by the time it is all over, there will not be one dead body or soul remaining on this planet; for even death is destroyed! Church, so at t h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment, we have these three classes of beings for judgement: The millennial children; the wicked dead of all ages; and the fallen angels. These are the three classes of people that are going to come before the Great White Throne. Do not forget that. I will also remind you that the sheep nation of people who produced the Millennial children, will simply pass into eternal life a t t h e e n d o f t h e Millennium. You are not going to see them in this crowd of untold billions standing before the throne. (Brother Amos points to the chart). You know why?

26 Page 26 Because they have already faced their judgment right here, at the Judgment of n a t i o n s, r e c o r d e d i n Matthew Chapter 25, which is also related in Revelation Chapter 20, verse 4! No man will undergo two judgments! It is their children that come before the Great White Throne to be judged. And it is on account of the righteous ones among the Millennial children, the ones who do not join Satan's rebellion, that the Book of life is opened! But once the sheep nations have been judged before the Millennium starts, they will face no other judgment. The Old Testament saints, as well as the New Testament saints have already been glorified, having passed through their own judgments on earth, prior to the hour of their death! Remember what Apostle Paul stated in 1 Corinthians Chapter 11, verses 27-32: Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But l e t a m a n e x a m i n e himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, AND MANY SLEEP, (meaning many are dead, death being a disciplinary means. The objective is this): For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD, on the great day of judgment at the Great White Throne! God will simply kill His child, if he or she refuses to mend, and is bringing reproach! We all know that under the Old Testament, the judgment which was by the law was instant, and that settled it! However, the bride of Christ are coming to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, as written in the Book of 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, verses 10, which declares: For we must all appear before THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. This is strictly a judgment of works, for it is one of January 2013 reward, and not one of condemnation; for eternal life is guaranteed for everyone in the body of Christ! The bride will come before this judgment up there in heaven, when we go in the rapture. It is not a judgment of condemnation: It is strictly a judgment of reward for what we do here in this body; for what we do for his name's sake here today. And Saint Paul said fire will try it in that day, as recorded in 1 Corinthians Chapter 3, verses 13-15: Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed BY FIRE; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be b u r n e d, H E S H A L L SUFFER LOSS: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire. It is the fire of divine proving of the secret motivations of t h e h e a r t. S o, o u r motivation for whatever we do has to be right, for it is not enough to do good; the motivation must be pure. It must be without any selfish ulterior motive. Once you have a selfish ulterior

27 January 2013 motive, you already have your reward for that work. Whoever's work is burnt, shall suffer loss of reward; he shall only have eternal life, for salvation is all he will have. However, the truth remains that we will not be condemned with the world, but rather, we will judge the world and angels! It is at the White Throne Judgment that this will take place. Prophet Daniel also saw the White Throne Judgment, for in Chapter 7, verses 9-10, he records: I beheld till the thrones (of the earth; thrones of every human government) were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire. (This is the throne of the Supreme Judge of the whole earth, the God of all Creation, still incarnate in His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord). A fiery stream issued and came forth f r o m b e f o r e H i m : thousand thousands ministered unto Him, (of glorified saints and of holy a n g e l s ), a n d t e n thousand times ten t h o u s a n d S T O O D BEFORE HIM (to be judged): the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Now the Judgment was set, ready to commence, with the mega billions standing before the throne, comprising of men and fallen angels. Brothers and sisters, this setting in Daniel perfectly mirrors the White Throne Judgment, which Saint John also later saw, for that is precisely what it depicts in this great prophetic projection, for it is the same setting. This brings me to the very core of my message. Let us therefore take Revelation C h a p t e r 2 0 a g a i n, beginning from verse 11, which states: And I saw A GREAT WHITE THRONE, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Before we move on, let us hold it there a little. We now have to ask a very material question: In Page 27 what body or with what body do these people stand before the throne? We are not taking of the fallen angels now, but of the mass of humanity standing before the Great White Throne. In what body do they stand before the Throne? Come with me to 1 Corinthians Chapter 15. Please pay attention. May God help me today. We start from verse 35: But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the

28 Page 28 moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. (This is applicable only to the righteous children of God. Saint Paul continued): It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a q u i c k e n i n g s p i r i t. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are t h e y a l s o t h a t a r e heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear t h e i m a g e o f t h e heavenly. Again we must realise that this promise is applicable only to the people of God, for it applies strictly speaking to the saints of God. These are people who make up the first resurrection, whether we are talking of the Old Testament saints, who are the first order or the firstfruits ; or of the bride saints, who make up the b o d y o f C h r i s t, t h e secondfruits; or of the Tribulation saints, in the entire dispensation of grace, covering also the last week, who are the third order or the thirdfruits, of the first resurrection, the final order of the first resurrection. Their bodies are all taken out of the belly of the earth, and united with their spirits, because they a r e r a i s e d u p o r resurrected, never more to die. So, they are all raised with glorified bodies, making each and every one of them immortals, having spiritual bodies! The only difference among them is that they do not all occupy the same class of sainthood as the bride, who alone wear FINE LINEN. All other saints are given WHITE ROBES. Even the millennial subjects who are the sheep nation people, enter into life eternal right after the Millennium, and thus are changed into immortals, though still subjects, but January 2013 t h e y a r e i m m o r t a l, nonetheless! In the eternal age, they make up the third class of God's children. Their children who pass the Millennial test, and enter into eternity, AFTER the White Throne Judgment, also join their category of sainthood. They constitute the nations of them WHICH ARE SAVED, recorded in Revelation Chapter 21, verse 24. This gives us the three classes of God's redeemed children in the eternal age: The bride of Christ, who makes up the highest level or class of saints; followed by the Old Te s t a m e n t A N D t h e Tribulation saints, who make up the second class of saints; and thirdly and finally, we have the Millennial subjects, who constitute the nations of them which are saved! The issue now is, what happens to the wicked dead? Is it only their spirits that we see here before the Great White Throne? What happens to their bodies, knowing that resurrection for glorification have no application whatsoever to the wicked dead? Can we also apply the thought of a bodily resurrection to the wicked dead, even though it is not one for glorification but unto condemnation?

29 January 2013 That is the issue! We already know that angels are spirits. But what of the mass of humanity standing before the Throne?! How are they raised? Is it only their souls or their spirits that stand before the throne? The key to the answer is right in this prophetic passage, in Revelation Chapter 20, verse 12, which states: And I saw the dead, small and great, STAND BEFORE GOD Verse 13 also states: And THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD which were in it There is only one thing the sea can give up with regards to these people, and that is their bodies! For it holds only the dead bodies of people who either perish or drown at sea, or people who have their bodies thrown into the sea, and who, in this particular instance, are the bodies of the wicked dead. The sea does not hold the souls of men, but their bodies. On the other hand, it is hell that holds the souls of all fallen creatures that are wicked. Consequently, what the sea holds and now gives up before the White Throne, are nothing other than the physical bodies of these people! Even if, for argument sake, you want to spiritualise the word sea, as meaning the world, it still gives you nothing but their bodies, as their soul comes out of only one place which houses the spirits of all wicked people, and that is hell, which the next clause now gives to us, for verse 13B states: and death, (which brings about the physical death of the body), AND HELL DELIVERED UP THE DEAD which were in them, (which are their spirits, thus uniting their spirits with their bodies; and verse 13C concludes): and they were judged every man (in their flesh), according to their works. Period! This also shows us that nothing escapes this Judgement. Look at death: If death delivers its dead, what does that give you? What does death hold? It is what kills or destroys the physical body or flesh! Come on! The first death is the death of the body. But hell is what holds the soul! Hell does not hold the body; hell holds the soul! It is death that holds the physical body, but hell holds the soul! So, if death gives up its dead, and hell releases the souls within it, that lets you know that both the soul and the body are united, to come before the Page 29 Throne, because their end is the lake of fire! Come on! If death itself, which kills the physical body gives up its dead, all it means is that it is giving up or yielding up the bodies it has consumed through time! Why? That their souls may be united with their bodies; so they can stand before the Throne of God as men for judgment! That is precisely why it is called the second resurrection! And that in itself is a clincher, for now w e s e e t h e s e c o n d resurrection, which is the resurrection of the unjust! Hence the proclamation: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in THE FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the second death hath no power What exactly is resurrection? Resurrection means to bring something back to life again! We have seen the first resurrection, and all the souls and the bodies of the saints it has brought forth. Now we are seeing the second resurrection! IT IS A RESURRECTION! Do not forget that! It is the raising of the dead, ordained for the second resurrection, which is the resurrection of the wicked, and as it is written, the Scripture cannot be broken! Jesus declared in the Gospel of

30 Page 30 John Chapter 5, verses 28-29, saying: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Saints I ask: If the resurrection of they that have done good is r e a l, w h a t o f t h e resurrection of they that have done evil, who are appointed UNTO THE R E S U R R E C T I O N O F DAMNATION? You are also looking at a real resurrection, except that their resurrected bodies will not be glorified, for they will be resurrected in their old fallen bodily estate! Yes! If the first resurrection raised the dead, the second resurrection must also raise t h e d e a d! T h e o n l y difference is that whilst the first resurrection is a resurrection unto eternal life, the second resurrection is one that is unto eternal damnation! But it is a resurrection, nevertheless! For not only are we going to have their souls released from hell to stand before the Great White Throne, even their bodies will also come forth to unite with their souls! Here is the seal to this issue, for the Master s p e a k s. I n M a t t h e w Chapter 10, verses 27-28, Jesus Christ warned, saying: What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL. The word hell as used in this verse of Scripture, really means the lake of fire, for that is the correct terminology that should h a v e b e e n u s e d i n translating this passage of Scripture from the original text, because the souls of men are not destroyed in hell, which is just a temporary prison house; it is destroyed only in the lake of fire, which is the second death, and which is the death for all fallen spirits! However, the material issue is that Jesus Christ confirms the truth we have set forth. He says that God is the only One we should fear, for He alone is able to destroy BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL, (meaning in the lake of fire), showing evidently, that both the soul AND the January 2013 body of the wicked dead will be resurrected, to be judged, before they are thrown into the lake of fire! Absolutely! Saints, the final objective of God is this, and it relates to perfect redemption: By the time redemption is over, there will be no trace of death anywhere on this earth! Even the planet itself goes through the process of perfect redemption, so that when we enter into eternity, which is the eighth day, there will not be any trace of sin, death, hell, or the grave, in any part of this planet. All we will have is a perfect earth, filled with perfect people, in a perfect eternity, with the perfect God! Period! Everything negative, or any trace of evil, is completely removed from the planet, which is why, even death and hell are also removed from the earth, and are thrown into the lake of fire, on another planet somewhere! The last process of redemption is the annihilation of death itself, as it is written: The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (1 Cor. 15:26). Death is destroyed at the White Throne Judgment! That is what redemption is about, and everything is being redeemed by Jesus Christ,

31 January 2013 for he is God's exclusive vessel of redemption. And when we enter eternity, there will be absolutely nothing on this planet that speaks of death. Do you know what? Even the unbelieving people that are burnt off, or cremated a r o u n d t h e w o r l d, particularly in India, are only transformed into another state; they are only transformed into a gaseous state and ash. Even the ash and gaseous state of those that are cremated will not remain here to defile the atmosphere of the planet in eternity! God who is the author of life, will call everything back, because death must yield everything it holds! After all, God did make man from the dust of the earth, and with different g a s e s a n d c h e m i c a l substances! The earth will be perfectly redeemed, and there will be no trace of death in it whatsoever! Jesus is the resurrection and the life! Make no mistake about it brothers and sisters: the second r e s u r r e c t i o n i s T H E RAISING OF THE DEAD! Full stop! I am at the climax of my message. So, please pay attention. Just look at the White Throne setting for a few seconds. By the power of God invested in Jesus C h r i s t, w h o i s t h e resurrection and the life, the wicked dead are resurrected, and their souls are united with their bodies, and they are raised up to stand before the White Throne Judgment, to be judged according to their works. And all the myriads of fallen angels are also standing there with their heads bowed down, and their spirit bodies drained of all life! And when these wicked dead stand before THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT on that day, brothers and sisters, each man will stand as he was on this earth, for each and every one of them will be identifiable, just as they w e r e o n e a r t h! B u t regardless of their position, a n d a c c l a i m, a n d achievements on earth, now they stand most wretched, totally naked, extremely poor, and most miserable! They will stink m o s t h o r r i b l y t o themselves, standing before the awesome presence of the Judge of the whole earth, the thrice holy God, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away! That is how John put it, for he said: AND I SAW A Page 31 GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away! THIS IS THE SUPREME COURT OF HEAVEN! Brothers and sisters, The White Throne J u d g m e n t i s T H E SUPREME COUNCIL of the Most High God! It is the Supreme Court of the God of all Creation, who dwells in a light no man can approach, and which no man hath seen! And I saw the dead, SMALL and GREAT, (street sweepers, and the presidents of nations, kings and priests), stand before God, (side by side, trembling and shaking like a leaf); and the books (of works) w e r e o p e n e d : a n d a n o t h e r B o o k w a s opened, which is the Book of life, (opened on account of the righteous Millennial subjects): and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the b o o k s ( o f w o r k s ), according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. What a day when

32 Page 32 money fails! What a day w h e n a l l e a r t h l y achievements, and all earthly laureates, and all global acclaim, become mere dust! What a day when earthly power once wielded, means absolutely nothing! What a day when billionaires would wish they had lived for Jesus, and that they had supported the cause of the Lord, instead of the useless causes they funded with their billions around the globe, hoping it would earn them eternal life, whilst rejecting the only Hope, which is Jesus! For now, they stand before the Great White Throne as nothing, but as chicken ready for slaughter, facing a bitter eternity! All their bigness and connections left far behind! What a day when all these godless and p e r v e r t e d b u n c h o f humanity, and all these corrupt and despotic political leaders, and all the crooked citizenry of the planet Earth, are now brought to account before the God of all Creation! Regardless of who they were on earth, regardless of their fame and power, regardless of their money and achievements, they are judged as mere men, wicked people, for rejecting the mercy of God offered them through Christ Jesus. This is the day the Lord spoke about for many centuries of time, using prophet after prophet, preacher after preacher; but now it has finally come! For the Lord had warned m o s t e a r n e s t l y, a n d passionately, with great longsuffering, warning all preachers and teachers of the Gospel, to be faithful to the Word of God, and also warning all who would accept the Message of the Cross, to ensure that they build their faith only on the solid rock of the revealed Word, but they just would not listen! Now they have time to listen to their eternal fate! Jesus had warned in clear and categorical terms, saying: Many will say to me in THAT DAY, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, Y E T H A T W O R K INIQUITY. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain January 2013 descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand (Matt 7:22-26). Wicked preachers, who used the Gospel to build an empire for themselves, at the expense of the true purpose of the Master! Men that used the name of Christ to amass money, and to make a name, thus becoming big men on earth, having fame and favour with kings and presidents, but most unfaithful to the Holy One who called them to serve the people! Wicked, and extremely greedy, and most corrupt, and incredibly selfish political leaders, who used their position and power, to plunder the resources of nations, and plunged the people into abject poverty, and into mindless misery and sorrow; they had caused the people to suffer needlessly for nothing, so that they, their families and cronies alone, could be established in the earth!

33 January 2013 Alas their day of reckoning has now finally come! Let me tell you now: No man will stand before God as a great man on that day! Brothers a n d s i s t e r s, t h e y t h e m s e l v e s w i l l b e trembling like a leaf, whatever they may have been on earth, whether kings or queens, when they see the awesomeness of the Almighty God, with all the holy angels in grand array! And in that Grand Council, in that Supreme Court of Heaven, Jesus the King and Righteous Judge, is fully veiled with the Majesty of the Eternal Spirit, most fiercesome, and e x c e e d i n g l y t e r r i b l e! Brethren, on that day, the bride of Christ is sitting very close to him, for she is right by his side! Why? She is his wife, his queen! The saints of all ages are also sitting with him! Halleluiah! It is a g r a n d c o u n c i l, T H E H E AV E N LY G R A N D COUNCIL! What a sight! What a Council! And what a Court! THE SUPREME COURT OF HEAVEN! Brothers and sisters, they are all standing there, shaking like a leaf, knowing exactly what their fate will be! The Lake of fire is burning with great venom before them, sizzling incessantly with liquid sulphur and brimstone, anxiously waiting for its tenants! Standing before the thrice Holy God, they already know their fate, and there is no one that will be able to even open his mouth, let alone argue with the God of all spirits! Because when you come into God's presence, you immediately see yourself for what you are, the way you really are, wretched and filthy as sin, with every act of iniquity pricking your conscience like a billion s h a r p n e e d l e s! T h e a w e s o m e l i g h t t h a t enshrouds Him, illumines everything, shining brighter than a trillion mega stars! You would have already judged yourself and known your fate, ever before it gets to your turn! Eternity is now before you! I say this in case this message falls into the hands of an unbeliever, or into the hands of an unfaithful follower of the Message of life. Yet, there is opportunity offered to you today, to spend eternity with God. The door of life is still open as we speak! Do not blow the opportunity you have now, for it is later than you think, for you may n e v e r h a v e a n o t h e r chance! You may not have a second chance! You may go to bed tonight, and not Page 33 wake up in the morning! Make peace with your Maker when there is still time! Come into the true light of Christ that is shining! Come now into the true light of Christ whilst it is still shining, for the light will soon be removed, and darkness shall overtake the earth completely! Call upon the Lord whilst he still hears! A man named Harold Camping said the world would end yesterday. Judgment Day was said to be ordained for the 21st of May, It was supposed to happen yesterday. But look at us, we are holding our Convention, and today is May 22nd, 2011! Many p e o p l e h e l d t o t h a t nonsense, only because they cannot see the plot of God! They are not following any true Bible Message! Where has he left the unity and perfection of the bride? or the seven thunders? or the revival of Israel? or the reign of the antichrist? Yet, the world was supposed to end yesterday, according to Harold Camping. My! This man has followers all over the globe who believed that nonsense! I saw some of h i s f o l l o w e r s i n t h e Philippines, as well as in the United States. They are not following anything of the Bible, but have enough

34 Page 34 religion to make themselves children of hell, twice worse than when they had not yet believed! Please, be part of the bride! Do all you can to make it into the bride! It is not about position: I have seen men lose eternal life because of position. It is not about money: It is about eternal life, for I have seen men lose eternal life because of money. It is not about fame, but about faithfulness to Jesus Christ in his divine scriptural revelation, for I have seen men lose eternal life because of worldly fame. Some wanted the biggest church outfit ever to be constructed, and another wanted to be the greatest evangelist the world has ever seen. And what spiritual virtue is there in all that? Fame will not get you a n y w h e r e, s p i r i t u a l l y speaking! Oh, my! It is the love of Jesus burning in your soul, by his Spirit, in a true divine revelation of the Word of God, which will get you there! Therefore stay with the light! Follow Jesus in a divine revelation of the Scriptures, and you will see the glory of God! There are two more questions we need to answer, and then we will close. But in reality, we have just one more question, because by the time we answer that one question, it answers the other one automatically. So, we only need to answer one more question, and we are done with this message. The material question we now need to ask is this: Where is THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT set? Is it on earth or in heaven? But before we look into it, I want to appreciate my precious m i n i s t e r i n g b r o t h e r s standing for truth. I appreciate you all. May God bless your ministries in a wonderful way. It is just a joy to have you all. We do not have too many men standing for truth, for truth has only few friends. So, let us lift up the banner of the truth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, knowing that our labour is not in vain, for everything has its payday, for it yields eternal dividends. May God help us to be faithful, and to be a true blessing to God's people, and that we may ensure that we carry these most precious elect children of God over Jordan, into that glorious land. Amen. Come with me to the Book of Revelation Chapter 19, and will we take it from verse 11, which states: And I saw January 2013 HEAVEN OPENED, and behold A WHITE HORSE; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and T r u e, a n d i n righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no m a n k n e w, b u t h e himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called THE WORD OF GOD. And the ARMIES which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great

35 January 2013 God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Saints of God, right here in this spectacular prophetic setting, we see Jesus and his wife, together with the saints of all ages, and with the holy angels, stepping out of the corridors of heaven, coming down to earth, on the Day of the Lord, which is at the end of the 70th week of Daniel, to take over the planet, and establish the Millennium. Jesus is coming in that day already crowned up there in heaven, for we will crown him when we go in the rapture, at the opening of the last week. But it is now at the end of that week, when Jesus makes this spectacular descent to earth. The Lord is coming with mega super divine p o w e r, a n d w i t h a n awesome authority of the spoken word; the double edged sword in his mouth, carrying super divine authority! We are also coming on white horses, anointed and invested with great power and authority over the nations, as immortals, super human beings. This prophetic event will take place right at the end of the 70th week of Daniel. And for a full one thousand years, we will rule and reign over this planet, with a new name, and with a white stone, which will give each recipient a specific (a designated) position of office, which he will occupy in the Millennium, and with crowns on our heads. The King and his Queen are coming to reign! Glory to God! Jesus also told us in the Book of Revelation Page 35 Chapter 2, verses 26-28, saying: And HE THAT O V E R C O M E T H, a n d keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall t h e y b e b r o k e n t o shivers: EVEN AS I R E C E I V E D O F M Y FATHER. And I will give him the morning star, just as Jesus is the bright and morning star! Why is this so? (Brother Amos sings): We are heirs of the Father, We are joint-heirs with the Son; We are people of His kingdom; We are family, we are one. This is the reward for faithfulness; a reward for all we bear and overcame for his name's sake. And when the Lord is coming on that day, saints, the Bible says that HIS EYES ARE AS A FLAME OF FIRE! Do not ever think you will see Brother Akinyelu on that day in his present weak frame. He is coming on that day, brothers and sisters, with his eyes dazzling with a t h o u s a n d s t a r s! H a l l e l u i a h! W h a t a n authority will be invested in the bride! Brother, just one

36 Page 36 word from us, and it is done! Oh, my! The authority we will wield or have in that day is something else! But remember, it is only for the overcomers. There is something to overcome. You must overcome every trial the devil brings your way, to make you depart from truth. You must overcome every trial that will make you compromise the Word of God. You must overcome every trial and persecution you face on account of the present truth, and stand firm! If it is your pastor who is straying from the revealed way, you need to get away: You have to overcome your pastor! If it is your church, you need to run away: You have to overcome your church! If it is your family, you had better run for your life: You have to overcome your family! We will love them though, and we will also help them where we can, and when we can; but we cannot compromise the Word of God for them! We have to overcome! If it is your job, tell your boss: Take your job! My soul is more important than your job! Halleluiah! If it is a friend or a brother so-called, tell him: (Brother Amos sings a chorus): I'm on my way, to glory land, I'm on my way to glory land, I'm on my way to glory land, I'm on my way, Praise the Lord to glory land! If you don't go, don't hinder me, If you don't go, don't hinder me, If you don't go, don't hinder me, I'm on my way, Praise the Lord to glory land! Brothers and sisters, the angel of the Lord is here right now. He is here. Believe it! If you believe, you can have what you want! The Lord is here brethren! He is here, right now! Believe it! Only believe! Halleluiah! I show you a glorious hour that is right ahead. It is a wonderful hour. There is a great glory ahead for the bride of Christ. We are coming back with great power and glory, because i n t h a t d a y, a n d forevermore, we are just like angels. As such, Mercury and Saturn are just thoughts away, and we are there! This is what our resurrection and changing produces, when we are raptured into heaven, at the beginning of the last week. It is from heaven we now make this most spectacular descent to the earth, on the Day of the Lord, when the January 2013 Millennium will be set up on this planet. So, the question now is this: Seeing that we are already here on the ground for one thousand years of the Millennium, following this prophetic e v e n t i n R e v e l a t i o n Chapter 19, then where will THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT be set up, after the Millennium? That is the material question we need to answer and close, knowing that The White Throne Judgment follows the Millennium. Where is the White Throne Judgment going to be set up? Saints of God, I am here to let you know today, that THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT will not be set on this earth at all. It will be constituted up there in heaven, that is in glory. It is not going to be on earth; it will be in the heavenly realm. Come with me. Number one: We must realize that the White Throne is not the Throne of Jesus Christ the Son of God. It is strictly the Throne of his Father. However, he (Jesus) has been invested with the full authority and power of God to sit on it, and be the Supreme Judge, all under God, on account of what he did for us on the Cross of Calvary, when he

37 January 2013 gave his life for our redemption. When we go to Revelation Chapter 4, we will see that there is one throne, and only one throne in heaven, and there is only one being we will always see sitting on that throne, and that is Jesus the Christ. Revelation Chapter 4, verses 1-7 reveals: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened IN HEAVEN, (granting John access into heaven, which is the spirit realm): and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither (into heaven), and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, A THRONE was set in heaven, and ONE SAT on THE THRONE. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald, (all speaking of the divine glory and attributes of the Eternal and Invisible Spirit God, which Jesus Christ is veiled with). And round about THE THRONE were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. A n d o u t o f T H E THRONE (SINGULAR, Not thrones, but The throne), proceeded l i g h t n i n g s a n d thunderings and voices, (all which speak of the awesome voice of God Almighty): and there were seven lamps of fire burning before THE THRONE, which are the seven Spirits of God (invested in Jesus Christ). A n d b e f o r e T H E THRONE there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about THE THRONE, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. In Chapter 5, John laid forth the Investiture of Jesus Christ by God the Father, clearly showing us precisely what he did, which entitled him to sit on the Throne of God in heaven, declaring in verses 6-10: And I beheld, and, lo, IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the Page 37 elders, STOOD A LAMB as it had been slain, (speaking of Jesus Christ), having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he (Jesus) came and took the book (or scroll of redemption) out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Yes, we know it was Jesus sitting on that throne initially, which is God's Throne. But what is being prophetically dramatized here, is merely showing us how Jesus came to sit on that throne in the first place! E x a c t l y! I t i s t h e transference of divine

38 Page 38 authority from God to Jesus Christ, that is being staged right here! We are looking at the Investiture of Jesus Christ, as he received authority and power from God, thus enabling him to sit on the throne of God in heaven! That is precisely what God wants us to see! Prophet Daniel saw the same Investiture of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Chapter 7, verses 13-14, which states: I saw in the n i g h t v i s i o n s, a n d, behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the ANCIENT OF DAYS, and they brought him near before Him (who is God). And there w a s G I V E N H I M dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. This prophetic passage gives us nothing but the transference of power to Jesus Christ by God the Father. The confirmation of this truth is laid out in the confession AND in the promise Jesus C h r i s t m a d e t o t h e Laodicean Church Age, recorded in Revelation Chapter 3, verse 21, which states categorically: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, (which is the Millennial throne on earth, where he takes over the t h r o n e o f D a v i d i n Jerusalem), even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father IN HIS THRONE. Jesus admits that he is sitting on the throne of his Father, for the throne in heaven is not his own, but that of Elohim, the Father, the Creator of the Universe. The throne of Jesus is the Millennial throne on earth, which we will also share with him, if we are also faithful! However, because the Father is an invisible and omnipresent Spirit, who does not need a literal throne to sit upon, (for the throne only designates the position and authority of God over the entire universe), the only one we will always see on that throne in heaven, is Jesus. And he will keep sitting on t h a t t h r o n e u n t i l redemption is complete, at t h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment, following which he will relinquish all power and authority back to God the Father, on the full authority of 1 Corinthians January 2013 Chapter 15, verses 24-28, which clearly states: Then cometh the end (of redemption), when he (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; WHEN HE (JESUS) S H A L L H AV E P U T DOWN ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER. For he (who is Jesus the Christ) must reign, till He (God) hath put all enemies under his feet ; (meaning under Christ's feet). The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death, (and this is at the White Throne Judgment, which the Son of God has to carry out); For he (God) hath put all things under his feet, (which is Christ's feet). But when He (God) saith all things are put under him (who is Jesus Christ), it is manifest that He (God) is excepted, which did put all things under him, (who is the Son of God. Now watch the next verse): And when all things shall be subdued unto him (who is Jesus Christ, the last enemy to be subdued being death; meaning that once the White Throne Judgment is over), THEN SHALL THE SON ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM

39 January 2013 (WHO IS GOD), THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL, (THROUGH ALL ETERNITY)! Amen! Thus, it is scripturally established and therefore settled, that the Great White Throne is not the Throne of Jesus, but of God the Father in heaven, for it is a heavenly Throne. As such, THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT is in heaven. Number two: We must also realize that the Court we see constituted here in Revelation Chapter 20, verse 11, is the Supreme Court of Heaven. And consequently, that Court cannot sit on earth. It sits strictly in heaven. Daniel Chapter 7 paints the heavenly Court beautifully, with heavenly Couriers and Officials, saying in verses 9-10: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and THE ANCIENT OF DAYS DID SIT, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: HIS THRONE WAS LIKE THE FIERY FLAME, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: THOUSAND T H O U S A N D S MINISTERED UNTO HIM, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. It is the Almighty God still veiled in His Son, acting as Judge of all Creation! Thus, the location of the White Throne Judgment is in heaven. It is a heavenly setting, for it holds in the spirit realm. Look at it. Revelation Chapter 20, verse 12 confirms this fact, saying: And I saw the dead, small and great, STAND BEFORE GOD, meaning that they stood before His Throne, which is the Great White Throne in heaven! This brings us into the region of the spirit, or into the realm of the spirit, in heaven. Verse 12 records: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand BEFORE GOD; and the books (of works which are recorded in heaven) were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of life And where is the Book of Life Eternal? It is a record that has never been on earth, but in heaven, for all life is IN God, who is the Author of life. Jesus declared in Luke Chapter 10, verse 20, saying: Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject Page 39 unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written IN HEAVEN. This Book of Life which is IN heaven, now being opened up, shows undoubtedly that the setting for The White Throne Judgment is in heaven! Continuing on, Revelation Chapter 20, verse 12B records: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea GAVE UP THE DEAD which were in it; and death and hell DELIVERED UP THE DEAD which were in them: and they were j u d g e d e v e r y m a n a c c o r d i n g t o t h e i r works. Church, now listen. Remember, when a man dies, his body goes into the belly of the earth. Is that right? Yes! But where is hell also? It is way deep in the belly of the earth as well! But both of them give up their dead. So, it means in essence, that God is simply taking out these wicked bodies and spirits, to stand before the Great White Throne in heaven, which is why it is a resurrection, for that Judgment is not here on earth, but in heaven! The earth is being totally

40 Page 40 redeemed; totally cleansed, and renewed. Therefore, the end of all the wicked dead, and all deceived Millennial children or people, is the Lake of Fire, even as verse 15 now d e c l a r e s : A n d WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN in the Book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Those whose names are found written in the Book of life receive eternal life; they enter into life. And there is only one class of people whose names will be found written, of all those standing before the Throne. It is the just Millennial subjects, the children born to the people of the sheep nation, who l i v e u p r i g h t l y i n t h e Millennium, and who pass the test of the insurrection that Satan will lead at the close of the Millennuim. Period! However, this verse also clearly shows, that although the books of the records of works are opened, in order to show the justice and the fairness of the judgment these fallen souls will face on that day, before being thrown into the Lake of fire, body and soul, in reality, everything boils down to whether or not their names are in the Book of life! Period! It is a matter of whether their names are written in that Book, or that it does not exist in the Book of life. Full stop! It is written: And WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN in the Book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Period! And in the Lake of fire, however long it may take, it may be thousands or millions of years, eventually, they will all be burnt out of existence, body and spirit, including all the fallen angels, thus bringing about eternal separation from God, and not eternal burning in the lake! No one can burn eternally in the Lake of fire, without having the eternal life of God invested in him! There is only eternal judgment, because the effect of that judgment is eternal, not eternal burning in the Lake of fire. And the very fact that spirit angels, and also the spirits of men, will be completely burnt out of existence, shows that the Lake of fire is not only a physical fire, but also a holy fire, for it will take the holy fire of God to exterminate spirits! Period! But watch verse 14, for it states: And DEATH itself Oh, my! That shows us that what brings death, and also holds death, is a spirit, the spirit of death. There is a spirit behind it! And that January 2013 spirit itself, which God is using as a judgment rod for the disobedience in the Garden of Eden, will be annihilated or killed, for even death will be judged or taken out, and it will cease to exist! Are you with me? So, there is a spirit of death, which is the first death, the death of the human body. On the other hand, what houses the souls of fallen men, is hell. It is the prison house for the spirits of the wicked dead. What keeps souls or spirits bound or captive in this region, is a spirit, the spirit called hell. You have to see it, because a mere physical region, however deep in the belly of the earth it may be, cannot hold, or keep, or restrain spirits, which includes that of fallen angels, without it being a power or a spirit in itself, having the capacity to do just that! Then there is a spirit of hell! There is a spirit of hell, because it is the spirit that God is using to take charge, and to hold captive, all fallen spirits! Are you with me? So, even the spirit of hell, AND the spirit of death, are both taken out of this planet! Their end is in the Lake of fire, even as it is written in verse 14, which states: And death AND hell were cast into the lake of fire. THIS IS THE

41 January 2013 S E C O N D D E A T H. Brothers and sisters, in the final analysis, the White Throne Judgment, having taken out all the wicked dead, and the fallen spirits, including death and hell, shows that nothing evil, nothing negative, remains on the planet: No Satan; No fallen angels or demons; No S e r p e n t s e e d s ; N o temptation; No sin; No death; No hell; No grave; No pain nor sadness; No trace of evil whatsoever, will ever remain, or ever be felt again, on any part of this planet, for eternity. God throws everything into the Lake of fire, which is on another planet. Even the seas are taken out, in order to make room for man, and to give the earth a perfect climate in eternity, for the sea is an evidence of divine judgment! The entire process is designed to give perfect redemption to planet earth. And by the time redemption is all over, which in turn means, that following the White Throne Judgment, it will look as if God had never ever judged this planet, and it will also look as though sin had never entered into the picture, for everything will be absolutely perfect! THIS IS THE PERFECT DAY! THIS IS THE ETERNAL AGE! It is the eighth day, which follows the seventh day, for it is a new beginning. But now, it is timeless, ageless, and endless, a world without end, where we will never grow old! The Millennium is a utopia, a blissful era; but it is not yet the perfect day. Do not also forget, brothers and sisters, that The White Throne, is a Throne before which all fallen angels, who are spirit beings, will also appear! Consequently, brethren, you cannot be looking at this natural or material world as the place of judgment, as it is the Throne of God the Creator of all spirits, which is in heaven! The spirit of man was first created in heaven in Genesis Chapter 1, before he was brought to the earth in Chapter 2, and it is same with the spirits of angels. Now, all spirits are brought back to appear before the Throne of God, by whom they were created! Full stop! Brothers and sisters, The White Throne Judgment is not on earth, it is in heaven. I say no more about that, for it should be as clear as day. THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT being over and done with, meaning that redemption being Page 41 absolutely complete, for it is over, for the planet AND man has been brought into a perfect state, or into a perfect condition, the last ceremony Jesus will perform, is the handing back of the planetary kingdom to God. It shows that the essence of his Investiture, and the terms AND the period of his Investiture is complete. This being done, Jesus will perform his last official ceremony, and the eternal age begins, as it is written: Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till He (God) hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For He (God) hath put all things under his feet. But when He (God) saith all things are put under him, it is manifest t h a t H e ( G o d ) i s excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL

42 Page 42 IN ALL, all through eternity, world without end. Amen. WELCOME TO THE ETERNAL AGE! Welcome to eternity! What next? Heaven comes down! The New Jerusalem comes down from heaven to earth! This vindicates the truth we have set forth in this message, for it lets us see exactly where the White Throne Judgment takes place, for it clinches and seals the matter once and for all! God and all of His redeemed family, with the bride in pre-eminence, together with all the angels, come down to dwell on earth eternally. Revelation Chapter 21, starting from verse 1, proclaims: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. We will skip to continue the thought from verse 9, which states: And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee THE BRIDE, THE LAMB'S WIFE, (which is the bride of Jesus Christ). And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, DESCENDING OUT OF HEAVEN FROM GOD, HAVING THE GLORY OF GOD: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Chapter 22, verses 1-5 records: And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the January 2013 river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: And they shall see His face; and His name s h a l l b e i n t h e i r foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Children of light: THIS IS THE ETERNAL AGE! Saints of God, I repeat for the sake of emphasis: Revelation Chapter 21, verses 9-10, tells us that the New Jerusalem is the bride of Jesus Christ. But where is she coming out from in this prophetic setting? She is coming out of heaven! She is not on earth but in heaven! And she is coming down from heaven to earth! Church, if t h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment is on earth, why would she be coming down from heaven? Come on! Because once the White T h r o n e J u d g m e n t i s

43 January 2013 finished, eternity breaks open, for it is immediately ignited! Consequently, if T h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment was executed on earth, the bride would not be stepping out of heaven, for she would have already been on earth! But on the contrary, Jesus Christ revealed in his prophetic revelation to Saint John, that she will be stepping out from the corridors of heaven, and descending to earth, for the eternal age, after the White Throne Judgment is over, showing e v i d e n t l y a n d incontrovertibly, that The White Throne Judgment is in heaven! That is why, once the judgment is fully executed and it is over, we are all coming down! The entire redeemed family of the Almighty God, together with all the angels, and with God Himself, who now fills us all with the fullness of Himself, will come down to earth from heaven, to dwell eternally on planet Earth! For it is written: And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. Amen and amen! Now on earth, we have one perfect happy family: GOD, ANGELS, AND MAN: The three-tier family of God! Welcome eternity! Halleluiah! And from that day, Jesus Christ becomes our elder brother, because he was the i n s t r u m e n t o f o u r redemption, and the first begotten in the new creation, whilst we all are the redeemed children of God, pure brothers and sisters, all through eternity, f o r G o d h a s n o grandchildren! Halleluiah! That is precisely why all of us, whether we are 90 years old, or we are 50 years old, or just 18 years old, we are all brothers and sisters, for we are born into the kingdom of God by the Spirit of God, as new born babies, thus making us all children of God, brothers and sisters, all through eternity. If you truly understand the plan of salvation; if you truly have a r e v e l a t i o n o f w h a t redemption is about, and what the new birth makes us, you will be happy to be called a brother or a sister, regardless of your age, for it is not about age. You will not feel bad because somebody much younger calls you brother or sister, even if you are old enough Page 43 to be their father or mother, and even if you are as old as Methuselah! It is knowing who we really are, in the family of God, as God's children. We are all the redeemed children of God, for God has no grandchildren. Brothers and sisters, the reason why the New Jerusalem is coming down out of heaven from God, is because the Supreme Grand Council of God, The Supreme Court of Heaven, which convened at THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, is not down here on earth, but up there in space, or in heaven. And hence, the New Jerusalem is coming down! Church of the living God, when it is all over; when T h e W h i t e T h r o n e Judgment is over, we are coming to settle here on earth, eternally: God, Angels, and Man. A perfect, a n d e t e r n a l, a n d unbreakable union, having been established between God and man, God will then turn His attention to another planet or galaxy, the new frontier, or the next frontier, for the introduction of life. Halleluiah! And we will be right there by His side, as His redeemed helpers, alongside His angelic helpers, in His new

44 Page 44 planetary endeavour, or in H i s n e w g a l a c t i c endeavour. And in that day, whatever God has to do, He will assign work to us, for He has a lot of work to do, in an ever expanding universe. Brothers and sisters, as God sends angels on errands, watching over the affairs and the growth of the universe, as revealed in the setting in Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Lot, and as also revealed at the building of the tower of Babel, so will He also be sending us on errands, for we will be His partners, alongside angels, whether to Mercury, or to Jupiter, or even to another galaxy entirely, to do one thing or the other, in light of His plan f o r t h e u n i v e r s e. Remember, in that day, we are immortals, superhuman beings, a people invested with the fullness of the attributes of God in that eternal age. And as such, distance and inhuman climatic conditions mean nothing to us, for we are just like angels, supernatural beings. Brothers and sisters, God has a glorious and an eternal objective for the creation of the universe. And by the time it is all over, He will be a universal God, in the real sense of God being worshipped from v a r i o u s p l a n e t s a n d galaxies around the universe! Saints of God, this is just the beginning of the story, in an endless eternity, for it goes beyond our planet, and it certainly goes beyond our galaxy, which is the Milky Way Galaxy. And although the scientists are crying that the universe is expanding at an alarming rate, and it is scientifically proven that it is, we must realise that God is the one initiating the expansion. And although the scientists are afraid that the universe might expand too much, and that The Center Cannot Hold, for they say it will collapse, we must understand saints, that that cannot happen, for God is God, and He is perfect in all His ways! The Center Will Hold, for this is not Chinua Achebe, (a leading African writer, who has written books titled, Things Fall Apart, and The Centre Cannot Hold), but this is not like that! Our solar system and the universe will never fall apart, even though Things Fall Apart, in the world we currently live in, at this end time! Church, in the eternal age, we will have the fullness of God in us, as Jesus Christ has in him now, when God fills the New Jerusalem with the fullness of Himself, on the eighth day! We will not just be part of His family, we will be active members and helpers, with Almighty God, just like angels. What a privilege! The privilege angels have now, we will also have in the eternal a g e. T h i s i s t h e b l e s s e d n e s s o f t h e redeemed of the Lord! I beg you, stay with truth! Love the Lord! Stay in the light! Uphold the truth! Live it! Only truth has a glorious end. The end of untruth is very horrible. But for the bride of Christ, it shall be well, for her end is most glorious! Behold: I show you THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, and its effect. May the Lord bless you. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). The Lord bless you. January 2013
