the complete timeline of the end Daniel's prophecy and the final days what if I told you that a prophecy written over 2,500 years ago might hold the key to our future a prophecy so detailed so accurate that it predicted the rise and fall of Empires before they even existed a prophecy that may reveal exactly where we are today and how close we are to the final days think about what's happening in the world right now chaos conflict Nations on the brink of war is it all random or is there a bigger divine plan unfolding before
our eyes could every single one of these events have been predicted down to the exact details today we're diving deep into Daniel's prophecy a prophecy that has already proven itself true and is now racing toward its final fulfillment and by the time we're done you'll never see the world the same way again could we already be living in the final days without even realizing it when you realize what's coming next you'll understand why time is running out faster than anyone expects the Bible is a history book but it is unlike like any other history book
available in any public library the history of the Bible starts with the creation of the earth and ends with the end of the world no other history book has ever been published that covers such a broad range of events on planet Earth partially because no one was present at the start to witness and document it and therefore no one can write the beginning of our world authoritatively we are the only folks in the whole world world who know how it will all end that is unique the Bible is a book full of predictions its Pages
contain 735 predictions about the future a prediction can be found in one quarter of the Bible's chapters from beginning to end it is basically a prophetic text though some books focus more on predictions than others 596 of the 735 predictions have indeed occurred and have literally come true according to the scripture prediction so 81% of all Bible prophecies have already come true and some of those prophecies were made centuries before the case it doesn't take much confidence to believe that the remaining 19% will happen as well that's a very high score but what about the
19% that remains could the final events be happening right now our Story begins in ancient Babylon Daniel a young Hebrew captive was taken from Jerusalem when the mighty Empire of Babylon conquered his homeland but Daniel wasn't just any prisoner he had a gift and this gift May hold the key to unlocking the most terrifying truth about where we are today a gift so powerful that it not only saved his life but it may save ours too a gift to interpret dreams and to see the future Daniel 9 speaks of 70 prophetic weeks a timeline of
world events leading to the Messiah and the end times but what if this timeline didn't just predict Jesus coming but also the exact moment of the final judgment if that's true then we're heading toward a countdown that can't be ignored this is a prophecy so precise that it predicted the very year Jesus would come and it also tells us what happens next and trust me you're going to want to hear this because as we break this prophecy down a terrifying pattern starts to emerge in Daniel 9: 24 to 27 the angel Gabriel delivers a mindblowing
timeline of History he tells Daniel that 70 weeks have been determined for God's people but these aren't normal weeks they are prophetic weeks where each week represents 7 years that means 70 weeks equals 490 years 490 years covering the rise of Israel the coming of the Messiah and the end of time as We Know It This prophecy was given over 500 years before Jesus was even born and yet it predicted his arrival to the exact year now let's break it down piece by piece and when we do a terrifying pattern will start to emerge one
that may already be unfolding before our eyes Daniel's prophecy is divided into three parts the first 7 weeks 49 years the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Exile the next 62 weeks 434 years the time leading up to the arrival of the Messiah the final week 7 years the period that triggers the end of the world and here's where things get really intense because we are currently living in the gap between week 69 and week 70 and the last 7 years could begin at any moment what if I told you that signs of these last seven
years are already appearing we'll look at those signs and they may be happening faster than anyone expected the prophecy began in 457 BC when the Persian king artaxerxes gave the command to rebuild Jerusalem from that point the prophecy predicted 483 years until the arrival of the Messiah and guess what if you take 457 BC and count forward 483 years you land at 27 a the exact time when Jesus began his ministry that means Daniel's prophecy wasn't just close it was perfect but then something happened why did the prophecy suddenly stop and what does that mean
for us today after Jesus was crucified and rose again something unexpected happened the prophetic clock paused for the last 2,000 years we've been in a mysterious Gap known as the church age but make no mistake the final week is still coming and when it does it will trigger the most terrifying period in human history you might think you know what's coming but the the details will leave you stunned the final 7 years Daniel's 70th week is the period we call the tribulation and it starts with one major event Daniel 9:27 says then he shall confirm
a covenant with many for one week but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering in other words a global leader will rise and make a 7-year peace treaty this will Mark the beginning of The Final Countdown but what if the Antichrist is already here and we just haven't recognized him yet the clues are hidden in plain sight and they point to a disturbing reality at first the world will celebrate there will be talk of Peace of a new era but halfway through the seven years Everything Will Change
because at the 3 and 1/2 year mark this leader will break his promise and commit the ultimate Act of evil what could possibly be so evil that it triggers God's final judgment on the world this single event will set in motion a chain reaction that changes everything in the middle of the final seven years this leader the Antichrist will step into the temple in Jerusalem and declare him himself to be God this event is called the abomination of desolation and it will trigger the Great Tribulation a time of suffering unlike anything the world has ever
seen but that's not even the worst of it because what happens next is beyond imagination Jesus himself warned about this in Matthew 24: 21 for then there will be Great Tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time no nor ever shall be War famine persecution Everything Changes at this moment the word Christ is from a Greek word Christos which exactly corresponds to the Hebrew word mashiach from which we get Messiah so when we say Antichrist that means anti- Messiah anti is a Greek preposition it has two meanings and
both of them apply first of all it means against so the first operation is against Messiah the second meaning is in place of the ultimate purpose is to replace the true Messiah with a false Messiah the entire operation is therefore carried out in two phases when you begin to realize this you will see that the spirit of the Antichrist is extremely active in almost the entire confessing Church further in John's teaching we read by this you may know perceive and recognize the spirit of God every Spirit which acknowledges and confesses the fact that Jesus Christ
the Messiah actually has become man and has come in the flesh is of God has God for its source and every Spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh but would anull destroy sever disunite him is not of God does not proceed from him this non-con fession is the spirit of the Antichrist of which you heard that it was coming and now it is already in the world 1 John 4: 2-3 if we look at this passage along with the passage quoted earlier we see the three forms of
antichrist for starters there are many antichrists throughout the history of mankind many antichrists have appeared and been manifested secondly there is the Antichrist a certain person this is the last manifestation the final product of the spirit of the Antichrist at the end of this age scripture makes clear there will be one last most evil most powerful ruler who will rule mankind for a short time who will be the Antichrist the third form is the spirit of the Antichrist the spirit of the Antichrist is the spirit that works through every Antichrist the closer we get to
the end of the age the more the spirit of antichrist is going to intensify and the more we will find ourselves engaging it in battle John has given us four distinctive signs of the spirit of the Antichrist these are of great importance first and foremost this Spirit gets it start in association with God's people they went out from our number but they did not really belong to us for if they had been of us they would have remained with us but they withdrew that it might be plain that they all are not of us first
of all then this Spirit of the Antichrist always begins in some way in connection with the people of God but it doesn't really belong there and that will be revealed in due course the second Mark of this spirit is that it denies that Jesus is the Messiah as we see in 1 John 2:22 who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ and then John continues with the third Mark he is Antichrist that denieth the father and the son remember this the spirit of the Antichrist does not deny the existence of
God indeed the anti Antichrist will claim to be God's representative what the spirit does deny is the relationship of the father and the son within the godhead and the fourth Mark of this Spirit given in 1 John 4 is that it denies the Messiah has come it probably believes in the Messiah who will come but denies that the Messiah has already come in Revelation 13: 6-7 we see the Antichrist take action and he opened his mouth to speak Slanders against God blaspheming his name and his Abode even vilifying those who live in heaven he was
further permitted to wage war on God's holy people the Saints and to overcome them and power was given him to extend his authority over every tribe and people and tongue and Nation he is the open Challenger of God he is not a secret enemy he shakes his fist in the face of almighty God and who do you think granted him permission to make war with and overcome the Saints I presume it is God which is a very sobering thought let's never forget that Christianity is not all easy Victory Revelation 13:8 and all the inhabitants of
the earth will fall down in adoration and pay him homage everyone whose name has not been recorded in The Book of Life of the Lamb that was slain in Sacrifice from the foundation of the world as that day approaches let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed the son of predition I believe this falling away is taking place in the world today through the centuries there have been church leaders who were Wicked but the 20th century
saw church leaders deny the great basic truths of the Christian faith the deity of Jesus his virgin birth his atoning death his physical resurrection and his return what if this was all part of a larger plan to pave the way for the Antichrist I do not believe this existed in any previous Century I believe that we are already confronted with the apostasy keep in mind that the church is the Bull workk against error Satan has to penetrate the church before he can complete his plans and he is not working alone fallen angels have interacted with
humans throughout our history at the end of the tribulation Jesus returns with the armies of heaven and he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon despite its singular mention the concept has taken on significant importance in our thought and Imagination did you know that Armageddon is derived from the Hebrew arago har meaning mountain and megiddo which altogether means mountain of megiddo but could there be a deeper hidden meaning behind this word that reveals its true significance megiddo itself is a historical site located in modern-day Israel known for its strategic importance
and as a place of numerous ancient battles however in the context of Revelation Armageddon is not just a physical location but symbolically represents the final battle between the forces of good and evil before the end of the world and shockingly world leaders may already be preparing for this battle without even knowing it when people hear the word Armageddon they often think of big world-ending events the name makes people think of a big fight between good and bad and is often used in movies and books to talk about the world ending but this name actually comes
from old stories and places from a long time ago in the Middle East the connection between the apocalyptic Armageddon and the historical megiddo is profound this name wasn't picked randomly for the end times Battle it it has a lot of history tied to that area's past troubles megiddo was an ancient city located at a strategic Crossroad in Northern Israel which connected the vital trade routes of Egypt to the South and Mesopotamia to the north this geographical significance meant that whoever controlled megiddo had a distinct Advantage both economically and militarily because of its strategic importance the
city became a focal point for many B over the centuries in the ancient lands of Israel megiddo wasn't just any place it was a crucial Crossroad a place where many battles happened one of the most memorable battles there involved a Fearless woman named Deborah and her loyal General Barack and so at megiddo through the faith and bravery of Deborah Barack and gel the Israelites saw the power of God at work bringing them victory against overwhelming odds in the future megiddo would become famous for another reason many people believe it will be the sight of a
big future battle often called the battle of Armageddon Armageddon in this narrative becomes the Gathering Place for the world's armies under the influence of the Dragon beast and false prophet to wage war against God and his people this final showdown represents more than just a physical battle it embodies the spiritual warfare that has raged throughout history with Armageddon serving as the ultimate of this Cosmic conflict in the final days before the great battle of Armageddon the world would bear witness to events unlike any in its history unfolding in Rapid succession the battle itself the skies
darken and mysteriously silence grips the Earth over the plain of megiddo a vast Army assembles it's not just any army it is the force of the Antichrist people finally going against what God wants these armies converge to make a last stand against the will of the almighty as tensions rise a hush Falls over the land an impending storm is about to break loose 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 Revelation 19: 19 suddenly
piercing the darkened Sky a radiant beam of light illuminates The Horizon what happens next will determine the fate of every living soul on Earth and there at the Forefront is a magnificent figure arride of white White Horse the embodiment of righteousness and Justice it is Christ returning in all his glory after that I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse appeared the one who was riding it is called faithful trustworthy loyal Incorruptible steady and true and he passes judgment and wages war in righteousness Holiness Justice and uprightness Revelation 19:1 with Christ a vast host
of angels descends their radiant Wings sparkling in the dim light their presence signifies the might and Majesty of Heaven standing in stark contrast to the dark Forces below flanking Christ are the Saints those who had remained faithful to him throughout the ages they too are on white horses dressed in pure white linen representing the righteousness of the Saints and the troops of Heaven clothed in fine linen dazzling and clean followed him on white horses Revelation 19:14 as the battle of Armageddon commences it is not like any other battle known to man this is a battle
between light and darkness good and evil the Divine and the profane the Angels wielding the power of Heaven clash with the forces of the Antichrist the air is filled with the sound of swords and the cries of the Fallen but even in this Fierce conflict the might of the Antichrist and his armies is no match for the divine power of Christ and his Heavenly hosts with a word Christ brings forth judgment and the adversaries are struck down the Antichrist and his false prophet are swiftly captured and the Beast was seized and overpowered and with him
the false prophet who in his presence had worked wonders and performed Miracles by which he led astray those who had accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp mark of the beast and those who paid homage and gave Divine honors to his statue both of them were hurled alive into the fiery Lake that burns and blazes with Brimstone Revelation 19:20 the the battle of Armageddon foretold for ages is Swift the forces of evil though vast and intimidating are destroyed in the face of divine intervention with the Antichrist defeated a new era Dawns Christ
establishes his Millennial Kingdom bringing peace Justice and righteousness to the world but why does this Reign last exactly 1,000 years and what happens when it ends no matter how powerful the forces of Darkness may seem they cannot Prevail against the omnipotent will of the almighty as the dust settles and the Earth rejoices One Thing Remains clear the Eternal reign of Christ has begun and with it a new chapter in the story of redemption and Grace the battle of Armageddon was not just a climax of warfare but also a transformative turning point for Humanity and the
Earth itself the implications of Armageddon and the surrounding context in the Book of Revelation are profound Revelation 20 speaks in detail concerning the final state of Satan and unbelievers verse 7 remarks that at the end of the Thousand-Year Millennial Kingdom Revelation 20: 1-3 then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand and he took hold of the Dragon The Serpent of old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years and he threw him into the abyss and shut
it and sealed it over him so that he would not deceive the Nations any longer until the thousand years were completed after these things he must be released for a short time we read the final importance of Satan is perhaps indicated in the fact that it is not the father who deals with him nor the Christ but only an unnamed Angel however we read about an angel coming down from heaven it is important to note that Satan is not considered God's equal or opposite yet God allows Satan to continue because even in his evil he
indirectly serves the purposes of God we read the phrases laid hold bound him cast him shut him up set a seal on him Satan tried to imprison Jesus in a tomb but couldn't however God has no difficulty restraining Satan many have wondered is this a true event indeed it is the battle is literal the false prophet is literal the slaying of the Kings and their armies is literal Satan is literal and his binding must be equally literal we read that he should deceive the Nations no more the revealed primary mode of attack by Satan is
deception therefore the best defense and weapon against Satan is the truth found in God's word it is evident that Satan's deceitful actions still persist indicating that he is not confined in the manner portrayed in the passage Peter stated that Satan is free to roam like a roaring lion searching for those he can harm Satan will be released for one last battle along with the misled nations of the world after he is defeated we see the result Revelation 20:9 to 10 and they swarmed up over the broad plain of the earth and encircled the Fortress Camp
of God's people the Saints and the Beloved City but fire descended from heaven and consumed them then the devil who had led them astray deceiving and seducing them was hurled into the fiery Lake of burning Brimstone where the Beast and false prophet were and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever through the ages of the ages fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them it is inaccurate to refer to this as a final battle as there is no actual conflict the outcome is predetermined with God ultimately putting an end
to the devil and his followers for good following the Battle Satan receives Eternal judgment and torment together with the Beast and the false prophet is this really Eternal punishment yes it is the words mean exactly what they appear to mean then all unbelievers will be judged before the great white throne Revelation 2015 States and if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life he was thrown into the Lake of Fire in the next chapter Revelation 21:8 adds but as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable who are devoid of character and personal
integrity and practice or tolerate immorality and murderers and Sorcerers with intoxicating drugs and idolators and occultists who practice and teach false religions and all the Liars who knowingly deceive and twist truth their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone which is the second death hell exists in a realm beyond our present realm Revelation 20: 11-15 then I saw a great white throne and the one who was seated upon it from from whose presence and from the sight of whose face Earth and Sky fled away and no place was found for
them I also saw the dead Great and Small they stood Before the Throne and books were opened then another book was opened which is The Book of Life and the dead were judged sentenced by what they had done their whole way of feeling and acting their aims and Endeavors in a accordance with what was recorded in the books and the Sea delivered up the Dead who were in it death and Hades the state of death or disembodied existence surrendered the dead in them and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done
according to their motives aims and works then death and Hades the state of death or disembodied existence were thrown into the Lake of Fire fire this is the second death the Lake of Fire And if anyone's name was not found recorded in the Book of Life he was hurled into the Lake of Fire unbelievers experience ongoing torment and are unable to escape their judgment the Bible tells us that the judge is Jesus John 5:22 to 27 even the father judges no one for he has given all judgment the last judgment and the the whole business
of judging entirely into the hands of the son so that all men may give honor reverence homage to the son just as they give honor to the father in fact whoever does not honor the son does not honor the father who has sent him I assure you most solemnly I tell you the person whose ears are open to my words who listens to my message and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on him who sent me has possesses now eternal life and he does not come into judgment does not incur sentence of
judgment will not come under condemnation but he has already passed over out of death into life believe me when I assure you most solemnly I tell you the time is coming and is here now when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God and those who hear it shall live for even as the father has life in himself and is self-existent so he has given to the son to have life in himself and be self-existent and he has given him Authority and granted him power to execute exercise practice judgment because he is
a son of man very man the earth and the heaven fled away Earth and Heaven flee from this Throne this is not a trial trying to determine what the facts are the facts are in here is the sentencing of someone already condemned if people are not listed in the book of life then each one is judged according to his Works those who refuse to come to God by faith will by default be judged and condemned by their Works sin's lingering effect effects have been eradicated including death the last traces of sin's unlawful power are done
away with when a person refers to Hell the Lake of Fire is what they usually have in mind as there is a second and higher life so there is also a second and deeper death and as after that life there is no more death so after that death there is no more life at the End of Time Satan and un Believers will experience the second death in which they will be in the Lake of Fire this Dreadful situation is one no person would desire this is why God has offered salvation through Jesus to anyone who
will believe and patiently offers this salvation still today John 3:16 for God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that he even gave his one and only begotten son so that whoever believes and trusts in him as Savior shall not perish but have eternal life this is a far cry from Satan's original state before he became the devil or Satan as he is also known the devil was known as the anointed cherub his name according to Isaiah 14:12 was Lucifer which means The Shining one unfortunately Lucifer the anointed cherub turned into the devil devil
now in Ezekiel 28 we are told about a specific cherub who can be identified as Satan this anointed cherub embodied the Pinnacle of wisdom and Beauty he was a wonderful created being in the Heavenly hosts Satan held positions of high rank status and responsibility many people believe that Satan directed the praise music in heaven because of the musical instruments mentioned mentioned in verse 13 we all know that music has tremendous power whether for good or evil we've seen how Satan has used music to send false messages to our minds and hearts we must remember that
music has the power to either lift a heart to God or drag a soul to hell as Lucifer Satan was a shining star the sun of the morning his privileges should have made him the most thankful cherub Satan became corrupted iniquity was discovered in him the Lord then goes on to list three sins violence arrogance and irreverence he violated the holy position in which he ministered in God's sanctuaries one unbreakable biblical spiritual principle is that when we exalt ourselves we will fall Satan attempted to exalt himself but God said he would be cast into hell
however when we humble ourselves before the Lord we will be lifted up we don't have to worry about lifting ourselves up when we humble ourselves and submit to his will it will be taken care of by God Luke 10:18 and he said to them I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven we may easily become discouraged if we only consider who Satan is and what he is capable of yet he is a condemned person it's simply a matter of time when Jesus died on the cross he demolished the devil's apparatus so why is Satan still
active is it because he doesn't recognize he's been out of business the devil is running around like a chicken with its head cut off he's dead and doesn't even realize it but God stated he shall be no more for forever we don't know much about Satan he is now a condemned being who will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone one day until then the Bible instructs Believers to remain alert and attentive the devil wants us to collapse like he did but we can hold our ground not only has the Lord Jesus Christ
saved us but he is also the only one who can preserve us from falling according to what Jesus taught hell does not have a set amount of time but rather exists forever those who are tormented in hell are doomed to an eternity of Torment Jesus was quoted as saying the fire never goes out Jesus said this as a warning to people that caused others to stumble hell is also called the Lake of Fire in Revelation 20 ver 13 to5 a place prepared for the devil and his angels Matthew 25 5 41 a popular bible commentator
said about this verse a child with a spoon May sooner empty the sea then the Damned accomplish their misery a river of Brimstone is not consumed by burning there is no way out of hell and neither is there any relief from it nor any Solace to be found there if you haven't put your trust in him yet now is not the time to put it off any longer it is not not too late to turn to God right now but someday it will be too late at the end of time everyone will stand before Jesus
Christ and he will separate Humanity into sheep those who display their faith in Jesus via their good actions and goats those who do not demonstrate their faith in Jesus through their good works those who did not trust in Jesus Christ the goats on the other hand will go away in to Eternal punishment and the Sheep will get eternal life God the Father blesses and gives an inheritance to the sheep on Jesus's right hand the goats on Jesus's left hand are doomed to Eternal Hellfire because they are prepared for the devil and his angels the explanation
offered is that they had an opportunity to minister to the Lord but did nothing the Damned ask Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and did not help you Jesus replies I tell you the truth whatever you did not do for one of the least of these you did not do for me Jesus unfailingly distinguished hell from the kingdom of God hell is the opposite of excellent fellowship with God eternally in his vision John Witnesses a new world world where God resides with
his people eradicating all traces of sin death and sorrow in the first verse John predicts that the current world will come to an end God created the Earth with the potential for this prophecy to be fulfilled the new Heaven and new earth will replace the world we know and bring an end to issues like climate change and Chaos according to the Bible the Earth that we live on and the heavens that surround us will eventually come to an end however you as an individual will endure beyond their destruction these elements will wear out like a
piece of clothing and be replaced while you remain the Bible unfailingly warns us that this particular world will not last forever Jesus said in Matthew 24:35 sky and Earth will pass away but my words will not pass away his statement was in the context of end times prophecies and the Eternal nature of Jesus's words my words will never pass away this means that trusting Jesus is wiser than trusting anything in this world Jesus also refers to the passing away of Heaven and Earth in Matthew 5:18 Matthew 5:18 for truly I tell you until the sky
and Earth pass away and perish not one smallest letter nor one little hook identifying certain Hebrew letters will pass from the law until all things it foreshadows are accomplished in Revelation 211 John writes of a new Heaven and a new Earth in the Eternal State having seen that the first Heaven and the first Earth had passed away to pass away is to disappear or be no more this refers to the physical Heaven and Earth the material world and all it contains scripture is clear that people will Outlast the current material Universe some in a state
of Eternal Bliss and some in a state of Eternal misery and that the current universe will be replaced by another that will never know the contamination of sin the method of this world's destruction is revealed in 2 Peter 3 but the day of the Lord will come like a thief and then the heavens will vanish pass away with a thunderous crash and the material elements of the universe will be dissolved with fire and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up since all these things are thus in the process of
being dissolved what kind of person ought each of you to be in the meanwhile in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities while you wait and earnestly long for expect and hasten the coming of the day of God by reason of which the Flaming Heavens will be dissolved and the material elements of the universe will flare and Melt With Fire the day of the Lord will come like a thief the heavens will disappear with a roar the elements will be destroyed by fire that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by
fire and the elements will will melt in the heat according to the Book of Genesis the world was once destroyed by a great flood during the time of Noah however God made a promise that there will be no more Global floods in the future Genesis 9:11 on the other hand it is believed that in the day of the Lord the universe will be destroyed by fire the prophet Isaiah foretold the passing away of Heaven and Earth too all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved and crumble away and the skies shall be rolled together
like a scroll and all their host the stars and the planets shall drop like a faded Leaf from the vine and like a withered fig from the Fig Tree Isaiah 34:4 the people are assured by the Lord that while the Heaven and Earth may be passing away his salvation is secure cure have you ever thought about the fact that heaven and earth will pass away it's a realization that can give us a lot of perspective in life when we remember that this world is not our permanent home we can prioritize what's truly important and live
with a sense of purpose but in accordance with his promise we expectantly await new heavens and a new Earth in which righteousness dwells Jesus tells us to have the proper priorities do not store up for yourselves Treasures on Earth but store up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven Jesus spoke of the renewal of all things the time when all things are made new Jesus said to them truly I say to you in the New Age the Messianic Rebirth of the world when the son of man shall sit down on the throne of his glory you who
have become my disciples sided with my party and followed me will also sit on 12 Thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel Matthew 19:28 the disciples will have a distinct responsibility during the future judgment likely involving Administration in the millennial Kingdom moreover the apostles had the privilege of contributing to a unique foundation for the church and they are recognized with a special tribute in the New Jerusalem Revelation 21:14 and the wall of the city had 12 Foundation stones and on them the 12 names of the TW Apostles of the Lamb there is some debate
among Believers as to when this renewal will happen there are those who believe the universal restoration will occur when Christ returns and sets up his Millennial Kingdom the Thousand-Year Reign on the Earth this view does not equate the renewal that Jesus spoke about with the making of the new heavens and new earth as was prophesied by Isaiah this will come after the Millennium but what is the size of this heaven will every Christian be able to fit there wait until you see the actual measurements of this city it's unlike anything you've ever imagined keep watching
to the end and we find out when God spoke from his throne the Bible tells us that God will make all things new and the one who was Seated on the throne said and he who is Seated on the throne said see I make all things new also he said record this for these sayings are faithful accurate Incorruptible and trustworthy and true genuine Revelation 21:5 this means that the present order of creation will be replaced with a new new one where only God's people will exist and live in the closest of relationships we read he
who sat on the throne said this is a powerful Proclamation that originates directly from the Throne of God it's noteworthy because it's one of the rare instances in the Book of Revelation where we witness God himself speaking unequivocally from his throne we read behold I make all things new this statement is in the present tense I am making everything new this is the Fulfillment of God's work of renewal and deliverance having begun here and now in our present time there are those who will have no part those who have not placed their trust in the
promises of God will not have the opportunity to be a part of it those who deny Jesus and turn away from their faith are not allowed to enter the New Jerusalem the first among the sins of those who perish are their cowardice and lack of Faith with the fearful being the leaders in this list of wrongdoings some people lacked the courage to face the challenges of religion and their cowardice stemmed from their lack of faith however even though they were too scared to follow Christ's teachings and fulfill their obligations to him they were still Reckless
enough to engage in all sorts of detestable wickedness murder adultery sorcery idolatry and lying Jesus talked a lot about hell in his teachings in fact we can glean more information about hell from Jesus's words than from any other chapter of the Bible combined Jesus spoke of hell as outer darkness in the after life the Saints will be completely purified from all impurities but how does this purific ation happen and what does it mean for those who aren't ready as death approaches they will be cleansed from everything that is defiling in nature in the New Jerusalem
only pure people will be allowed among the saints however on Earth even with the utmost care there may be a mixture of good and bad people in Christian communities which may cause troubles but in the New Jerusalem the society will be entirely pure and without any impurities to gain entry into heaven it is essential to be free from openly profane individuals as they are not welcomed in heaven while Earthly churches May witness abominable acts performed during solemn ceremonies such sacrilegious events cannot be tolerated in heaven a further Point worth noting is that the New Jerusalem
is exclusively reserved for the called Chosen and faithful individuals who are not associated with Hypocrites Hypocrites May infiltrate the Earthly Churches of Christ and remain hidden there for a long time possibly for their entire lives nonetheless they will not be able to enter the New Jerusalem the individuals who belong to this group are written in the Lamb's Book of Life how the new heaven arrives according to the scripture the occurrence of a new Heaven and a new Earth will take place after the Thousand-Year reign of Christ also known as the Millennium the vision mentioned in
the scripture describes The Disappearance of the first Heaven and the first Earth with no sea to be found a new world now opens to our view the Apostle saw a new world where the holy city the New Jerusalem came down from heaven this New Jerusalem represents the Church of God in its new and perfect state prepared like a bride adorned for her husband it is adorned with perfection in wisdom and Holiness and is worthy of experiencing the full glory of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the scriptures the concept of a new Earth complete with a
brand new atmosphere and sky is a recurring theme that has been mentioned by numerous prophets this notion of a new Heaven and new earth is not limited to any one particular section of the Bible but can be found in both the Old and New Testaments it has been a source of inspiration and hope for many the present heavens and the present Earth will one day pass away God therefore will dissolve the old universe and make it new by means of fire many equate the renewal that Jesus spoke about with this event the making of the
new heavens and the new Earth the hope of the believer is in an inheritance that will not fade away Heaven is called a city but as it is they desire a better country that is a Heavenly one therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God indeed and has Reed a city for them all over the world there are many beautiful cities but we have yet to find a city that we like better than the one we come home to at the end of our journey 11 times in the Book of Revelation chapters 21
