End Times

Summary

Most of the end times described in Daniel 7 and 9, Matthew 24 and Revelation through to chapter 14, are now in the past.

Christ has been reigning with us, the saints, since His death and resurrection, in the  (not literal) 1000 year reign.

It is an ever expanding kingdom. Satan and his elohim, battle it, but can't stop its expansion.

The marriage supper of the lamb is our current reality.

As such several "end-times" signs can be ignored as being about our future.

• This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations (that was done by AD70)

• False christ/s, 

• False prophets, 

• Wars and rumours, 

• Famines, 

• Pestilence, 

• Earthquakes, 

• Nations rising against nation, 

• Tribulation, 

• Being hated for His name, 

• Lawlessness, 

• The lawless one, 

• Love growing cold,

• Abomination of desolation (that was Jerusalem being sacked)

• The falling away,

• The sign of the beast 666 to trade (that was Nero)

When time ends

• When Jesus' Kingdom has done trouncing Satan and his band, with our help, time will end.

• On the last day, as with every day leading up to it, Satan will accuse humans with his books of the records of our works.

• As with every day before, Jesus will respond by not listening to Satan, reviewing His only single book, the book of life, in which all human spirits, are indelibly written, and responding that therefore all human spirits, get to do to into the new heaven and earth.

• But this time Satan, the Beast, Hades, Death all the demons, will go into eternal torment, in the lake of fire. No humans.

• As He comes down, we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, all of us, including the dead and we will be caught up, momentarily, to greet Him and welcome Him down to earth, like going to the airport to collect a relative, back to your home.

• In that same "moment" remaining bad characteristics will be removed from our Souls.

Or put another way....

Current

(these are just “end times” elements, there’s far more to our current reality than this)

·      We’re in the bit after the 70th week. Daniel 2:35.44.

·      We’re reigning with Christ for a long time. Rev 20:4-6.

·  We are seated in heavenly places Ephesians 2:6

·  We’re already experiencing the Son of Man coming in the glory of His Father with His angels, and He is now already rewarding each according to his works. Matthew 16:27 (rewards are more responsibility/service, not extra favour) Mat 25:23

·      We're at the wedding feast of the lamb Rev 19

·      We’re also experiencing, should we let him, the accusations of Satan, kept written in his books. Daniel 7:9-11a.

·  Our citizenship is in heaven Phl 3.20

·  We await the transformation of our body to be like Jesus’ transfigured body Phl 3. 20-21 – this could happen before our bios-body dies!

Future

·      No one knows when time will be up. Mat 24:36-46

·      Death, Hades and Demons (anything – not anyone) go into the eternal fire Rev 20:11-15

·  If our bios-body dies, it will be replaced with a new one, for living in the new heaven and earth at “the end of time” Rev 21-22, which will in effect be at the same “time” as everyone who ever lived, everyone and ever will live.  1 Corinthians 15:51-52.

·      If our bodies happen to be alive at the “the end of time”, the same thing will happen, our body will be transfigured instantly, with those who are “sleeping” above.  1 Corinthians 15:51-53.
