The Two Trumpet Call Events Part Six

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part Six

We are not to sleep, but watch and be sober. That means we are to be spiritually prepared. We are to live soberly and righteously and not get drunk. We are to live as the children of the day, not as the children of the night. The word sober here has two meanings - one is literal and refers to abstaining from strong drink. The other is metaphorical and means alertness, wakefulness, self-control. We are to be alert spiritually and self-controlled just as someone who does not touch strong drink. Paul used both meanings in this passage. We are also called to fight the good fight of faith and lay hold of Eternal Life (Mt 25:1-13).

We cannot be indifferent and careless like the five foolish virgins in this passage who went to sleep with no oil in their lamps but rather we are to be like the servants who when their Lord returns were waiting to open the door to Him (Luke 12:35-48). Verses 45-48 carry a grim warning for professing Christians who fail to abstain from evil and are unfaithful to Christ. They will be left behind at the Rapture. Once more we learn that only those who comply with the conditions will qualify for the Rapture (Rev 2:1-3).

Of the Seven Churches Jesus addressed here He promises to keep one only from the hour of trial - the Great Tribulation - and that is the Church of Philadelphia (Rev 3:7-13). They were the only ones who remained faithful to His Word and did not surrender to their circumstances. This also is further proof of a pre-Tribulation Rapture.

Revelation 3:11 refers to the Rapture but it highlights another important teaching too: while those Seven Churches were actual Churches in the cities mentioned at the time of John's Revelation, they are also representative of all Churches in all ages from then until the Rapture ends the Church Age.

The letters to the Churches are to be interpreted as not only applying for that time but as having an ongoing application for all generations, including ours.

Philadelphia means ‘the love of brethren’.

Does that apply to us as a body and to each of us personally?

Can we honestly say we love the brethren as Christ Loves us, because God says that it is only our love of brethren that proves our love for Him.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the Truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living

and enduring Word Of God.

1 Peter 1:22-24 NIV

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a Blessing.

1 Peter 3:8-9 NIV

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has Eternal Life in him.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the Love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the Truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts,

and He knows everything.

1 John 3:14-20 NIV

Dear friends, let us love one another, for Love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is Love. This is how God showed His Love among us: He sent His One and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is Love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so Loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His Love

is made complete in us.

We know that we live in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that The Father has sent His Son to be The Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is The Son Of God, God lives in Him and He in God.  And so we know and rely on the Love God has for us.

God is Love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the Day of Judgment, because in this world we are like him.  There is no fear in Love. But Perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.

We love because He first Loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. And He has given us this Command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

1 John 3:14-20 NIV

Now to find out the time frame for the Rapture. Thus for the Scriptures have established the fact and the manner of the Rapture, and that it will take place before the Great Tribulation, but what is its time frame in relation to the emergence of the anti-Christ, because it is during his reign that the Tribulation comes upon the earth (Dan 7:25; 8:23-25; 9:27; 11:36-39; 12:1; Mt 24:15-22).

We learn from these Scriptures that the Great Tribulation will occupy the last 3½ years of anti-Christ's seven year reign. Does this mean then that the Church will still be on earth during the first 3½ years?

The anti-Christ is a benevolent dictator during this period, and he will be revealed as the enemy of GOD (Revelation 6).

He ever liveth to make intercession

Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

For such an High Priest became us, Who is Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens

The Two Trumpet Call Events Part Five

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part Five

Paul reaffirms to the Corinthian Church, that when Jesus comes He will change our natural bodies to spiritual, from mortal to immortal, from corruption to incorruption and from weakness and humiliation to glory and power. Our new transformed bodies will be flesh and bone like Christ's body of Glory which He showed to the disciples before He ascended to Heaven (Lu 24:36-43).

The Church and all the saints of God will go up to be with Jesus - Old Testament and New Testament saints alike - right back from Adam, Abel and onwards. This even includes Rahab the harlot (Josh. 2:1-6, 6:17-25; Heb. 11:31; Jas 2:25-26).

There will be two resurrections of the dead. “The First Resurrection” is to Eternal Life for the righteous dead, who will stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ, and The Second Resurrection - over 1,000 years later - is to eternal damnation for the wicked dead. They will be judged and consigned to hell at the Great White Throne Judgment.

For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body,

whether good or bad.

2 Cor 5:10 NIV

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the Word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the First Resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the First Resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

Rev 20:4-6 NIV

Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him Who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from His Presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the Throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Rev 20:11-15 NIV

The Rapture is the blessed hope of the Church. The Church has been waiting for it to happen since Paul's day. Paul knew the Rapture could have happened in his lifetime, and he communicated that anticipation to the Thessalonian Church (read 1Thess. 4:13-18). We likewise are to be in eager anticipation of it and communicate it to others also.

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

2 Cor 5:1-5 NIV

Read also Romans 13:11-14.

The Rapture is a purifying hope - a source of inspiration and consecration for all sincere Christians, and a comfort to those being persecuted for Jesus' sake.

Jesus said something very important concerning the Rapture in Luke 21:36, this teaches us that there is a way to escape the Great Tribulation and that is to be accounted worthy. The more Scriptures we study the more we see the Church as being accounted worthy through the Blood of Christ (see Rom. 5:8-10). The Bride of Christ (His chosen Church) is not going to go through the Great Tribulation. The Tribulation is God's wrath poured out upon sinners, not saints (Eph 5:1-7).

Only those walking in the Light as God is in the Light will be taken up in the Rapture. Christians who do not remain faithful to the Salvation benefits wrought out for us by Christ on the Cross of Calvary will have the wrath of God poured out upon them, the same as unbelievers. They will go through the Great Tribulation with the unbelievers (1 Thess. 1:6, 9-10). This makes it clear that truly faithful believers are not appointed to go through the Great Tribulation, and that they can know they will be taken out of the way when Jesus appears for His saints at the Rapture.

Let’s see what Jesus promised the Philadelphia Church in Revelation 3:7-13

 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the Words of Him Who is Holy and True, Who holds the Key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.  I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My Word and have not denied My Name.  I will make those who are of the synagogue of satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars — I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have Loved you.  Since you have kept My Command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

I am Coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the Temple of My God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him The Name Of My God and the Name of the City of My God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of Heaven from My God; and I will also write on him My New Name.   He who has an ear, let him hear what The Spirit says to the churches.

Rev 3:7-13 NIV

Read also 1Thessalonians 5:1-11.

This teaches us that the Day of the Lord, designated by the Great Tribulation will not overtake us like a thief in the night because we are not the children of darkness, who it will overtake, but the children of Light, and we are not appointed to go through the Tribulation. Again we see that God's wrath is to be poured out upon sinners, not GOD’s children who live by His Word. This is further proof for those who are not sure that the Rapture will precede the Great Tribulation, however we must all comply with the conditions of verse 6-8 to qualify for the Rapture:

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the Day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of Salvation as a helmet.

1 Thess. 5:6-8 NIV

The Two Trumpet Call Events Part Four

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part Four

You have to get the picture very clear of how the Church is going to be taken out of the way of the Great Tribulation, and if there was no other proof in Scripture the promise of Jesus here alone would suffice.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

John 14:1-3 NIV

We can be secure in the knowledge that as surely as Jesus went to Heaven so will He return for His own, to take us too.

Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also.

At that Day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.

He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be Loved of My Father, and I will Love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

John 14:19-21 KJV

Jesus said, "Because I live ye shall live also." We live, not in anticipation of physical death as unbelievers do, but in anticipation of Jesus coming again for us, and whether we be living or dead at that time we shall rise together with Him in Glory. This is assured because Jesus has already risen and ascended to Heaven and that is why His resurrection is so important to believers - not only does it guarantee the future resurrection and ascension of those who have fallen asleep in Christ, it also guarantees the Rapture of those still living at that time. The ultimate purpose of The Lord coming back for His saints is so they will be with Him in all eternity, and taking them to Heaven is simply the first step in His purpose.

If there is no Rapture then these Scriptures would have been meaningless, but they are not meaningless at all.

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.  Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the Firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.

1 Cor 15:12-23 NIV

In verse 32a, Paul said: “If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised…

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised

a spiritual body.

(vv 42-44 NIV)

 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.  For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

 "Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?"

 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

1 Cor. 15:50-58 NIV

 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.

1 Thess. 4:13-18 NIV

These passages clearly express God's eternal Purpose and Plan for His saints and are unassailable proofs of the fact and the manner of the Rapture for those who dismiss the Rapture as a fallacy of fundamentalism. We learn from these Scriptures that the spirits and the souls of all that have fallen asleep in Christ will be brought back from Heaven to be united to their resurrected bodies—and together with the living-resurrected, shall meet The Lord in the air. The corruptible bodies of those fallen asleep in Christ will rise up from the grave and put on incorruption while the mortal bodies of the saints still living at that time will put on immortality. Then we will all meet up together in the clouds with The Lord before going to the place Jesus has prepared for us in Heaven as He promised in John 14:1-3.

We must therefore work faithfully and expectantly with The Lord towards God’s eternal reward for His people (read Philippians 3:10-12, 20-21).

This teaches us that our citizenship is in Heaven from whence we look for Jesus to come and take us unto Himself.

The Two Trumpet Call Events Part Three

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part Three

Concerning The Rapture, Jesus expressed that only The Holy Spirit knows The Day Of Rapture.

"No one knows about that Day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor The Son, but only The Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at The Coming of The Son Of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at The Coming of The Son Of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what Day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because The Son Of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.

Matt 24:36-44 NIV

Of that exact Day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, nor The Son, but only The Father. When Jesus came to the earth in the likeness of man He knew not “The Day” or “the hour”.

The Holy Spirit is The Father of The Messiah.

And Jesus is The child of The Holy Ghost.

In The Gospel According to Mark, in chapter 13 verse 33 is written:

 “…Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

This means we should watch and pray!

Like the days of Noah and like the days of Lot, shall The Day of Rapture be. The wise virgins will be taken, but the foolish virgins will be left behind.

Whoever tries to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Christ will be saved. The ungodly shall perish, but the faithful shall be preserved and quickened.

The Lord will return at The Second Coming in flaming fire –“as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west…”

“…and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when The Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven in blazing fire with His powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the Presence of The Lord and from the Majesty of His Power on the Day He comes to be glorified in His holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.

2 Thess. 1:7-10 NIV

Look, He is coming with the clouds,

and every eye will see Him,

even those who pierced Him;

and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him.

      So shall it be! Amen.

Rev 1:7 NIV

I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a Name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is The Word Of God. The armies of Heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On His robe and on His thigh He has this Name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Rev. 19:11-16 NIV

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the Great Supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,

free and slave, small and great."

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the Rider on the horse and His army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the Rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Rev 19:17-21 NIV

The Two Trumpet Call Events Part Two

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part Two

All those Scriptures you read in Part One concern The Second Coming Of Christ, not The Rapture. They relate to the antichrist, the Great Tribulation, the Battle of Armageddon, the Judgment of the Nations and the setting up of the Millennial Kingdom, etc. This is when Christ comes back to earth with His saints.

At the end of the perilous times would be The Return Of Christ The Messiah.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the Coming of The Son Of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

"Immediately after the distress of those days

"'the sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'

"At that time the Sign of The Son Of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see The Son Of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with Power and Great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet Call, and they will gather His Elect from the four winds, from one end of

the heavens to the other.

"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Matt 24:27-35 NIV

A deeper insight into Scriptural study on The Coming Of The Son Of Man was recorded in Luke 21:25-28 which parallels with the above passage in Matthew 24.

 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see The Son Of Man coming in a cloud with Power and Great Glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your Redemption is drawing near." (NIV)

The earth will have a terrible visitation of The LORD’s Army described in Joel 2.

The Rapture is when Christ comes in the air, for His bride (the saints), to take them to Heaven. There will be at least seven years between this event and His Second Coming.

We will study some passages of the Scriptures concerning the Rapture shortly, but first turn to Luke 21:25-26, 36.

Jesus alludes to the Rapture here in verse 36. Jesus tells His listeners that there is a way to escape the horrendous events of the Great Tribulation He was describing in verses 25-26. The only way to escape them though is to be removed from the earth beforehand, because they will affect everyone on earth. This also proves the Rapture will precede the Great Tribulation.

Read these Words of Jesus’ comfort to His disciples:

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

John 14:1-3 NIV

The Two Trumpet Call Events Part One

The Two Trumpet Call Events

Part One

Two distinct and separate glorious events will occur in the near future on the earth.

Every born again believer knows something about the Rapture but not too many fully understand it. Generally it is because they confuse the Scriptures referring to the Rapture with the Scriptures referring to Christ's Second Coming. They are two distinct and separate events in time and we really need to be able to distinguish between the Scriptures concerning them:

And in the days of these kings shall The God of Heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms,

and it shall stand for ever.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Dan 2:44-45 KJV

  "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was One like a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of Heaven. He approached The Ancient of Days and was led into His Presence. He was given Authority, Glory and Sovereign Power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped Him. His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion that will not pass away, and His Kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Dan 7:13-14 NIV

But the saints of The Most High shall take the Kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Dan 7:18 KJV

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole Heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of The Most High, whose Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

Dan 7:27 KJV

Who is this coming from Edom,

from Bozrah, with His garments stained crimson?

Who is this, robed in Splendor,

striding forward in the Greatness of His Strength?

"It is I, speaking in Righteousness,

Mighty to save."

Why are your garments red,

like those of one treading the winepress?

"I have trodden the winepress alone;

from the nations no one was with Me.

I trampled them in My anger

and trod them down in My wrath;

their blood spattered My garments,

and I stained all my clothing.

For the Day of Vengeance was in My heart,

and the year of My Redemption has come.

I looked, but there was no one to help,

I was appalled that no one gave support;

so My Own arm worked Salvation for Me,

and My Own wrath sustained Me

.

I trampled the nations in My anger;

in My wrath I made them drunk

and poured their blood on the ground."

Isa 63:1-6 NIV

The Nations Will Be Judged (read Joel 3:1-21).

A Day Of The Lord is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.

I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

Then The Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in The Day Of Battle. On that Day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then The Lord My God will come, and all the holy

ones with Him.

Zech 14:1-5 NIV

The Lord will be King over the whole earth. On that Day there will be One Lord, and His Name The Only Name.

Zech 14:9 NIV

"When The Son Of Man comes in His Glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His Throne in heavenly Glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Matt 25:31 NIV
