The Final Destination of Man

By Harley Denny

This book was written about the everyday life of man; this includes you and me. We live in a troublesome world. All of us have to make a decision whether to serve God or Satan. I quote a verse found in the King James Bible: Joshua 24:15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; To serve God will ensure you of a eternal future of bless, to serve the Devil will ensure you of a eternal future in the lake of fire with the Devil, his demon friends, the antichrist, the false prophet, and all those who have rejected Jesus as their Savior.

The Final Analysis Of My Studies:  On The Book Of Revelation

I have listened to many people say they do not read or study the book of Revelation because it is just too complicated.

I have rearranged some of the above chapters in chronological order so that my readers may achieve a better understanding in their study of the book of Revelation.

AND THEIR FAMILIES

AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION

I submit the following thoughts about my writing and my studies on the book of Revelation. God was and is the spiritual author of the book of Revelation in the Bible. I am only the earthly man used to write down my thoughts and understandings as to the revelations of God’s Holy Word. I do not consider myself a biblical scholar or a great theologian or even a great orator on the book of Revelation.

My writings and teachings were not influence by the teaching of any religionist denomination but only thru my personal studies.

I have been married to a wonderful lady, a true prayer warrior, Elizabeth Ann, for the past fifty two years as of December 22, 2014. We have served God most of our married life and have been blessed with two wonderful children, Brent and his wife Shannon a great daughter-n-law and Traci and her husband Kevin a great son-n-law, four wonderful grandchildren, Jamin, Jacee, Devynn and Zoe and three terrific great grandchildren, Gabriela, Brylee and Elias.

I consider myself a Christian layman, a watchman and servant of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love teaching on this book of Revelation and will do so as often as I have the opportunity. So today I present this book as my pulpit to relate to my readers my thoughts and understanding at this time.

Sometimes I feel like the prophet Jeremiah when he said, God’s word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.

I have always been excited and intrigued about scriptures concerning the final destination for man found in the book of Revelation and the other Prophetic books of the Old Testament from Isaiah thru Malachi and have spent numerous hours in my studies of these books. I remember my mother preaching and teaching on this book of Revelation years ago, so I think her passion for God’s Word was passed down to me at her death.

I have endeavored thru my studies, praying, meditating and searching the wording in scripture to understand the true meaning as to what the scriptures are really saying. Sometimes we just read a scripture and never grasp it true meaning. Many prophetic scriptures are being fulfilled every day that opens up to us the true meaning of scripture more clearly for us to understand than in times past. What a time to be alive and doing the service of our God.

I am only presenting to you in this book my thoughts and interpretations acquired thru my studies on the Book of Revelation.

PART ONE

A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH TODAY

Three main events are found in the scriptures of the book of Revelation, (1) God appearing and gathering the Saints unto Him in what the Bible call’s the Catching up of the Church or as some call the rapture. (2) Jesus returning back to earth to set up God’s earthly kingdom at the beginning of the one thousand year Millennium, and (3) the regeneration of earth for godly men to live on.

Just to clear up what we are sometimes taught and say, the word rapture is not found in the KJV Bible. The bible refers to the Church as the Bride of Christ which will be caught up to God. Sometimes people call the rapture or the Church Saints being caught up the First Resurrection. During our study of the book of Revelation we will see what the scriptures really say. In the following scriptures we find the Church Saints being caught up to God.

1Thessalonians 4:

[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

This Verse 14 states that God not Jesus will bring those who sleep in Jesus back with Him to meet the Church Saints in the Air. As with many of you, I have been taught that we would rise to meet Jesus in the Air, but look closely at Verse 14 above. Father God is coming back for the Bride of Christ who is the Church to present the Bride to His Son the Bridegroom. As an example in today’s world usually it is the Father who brings and presents the bride to the bridegroom. The bridegroom never comes to the brides home to receive his bride unless the ceremony is at the home. In fact in today’s world most of the time the bridegroom is not allow to see his bride on the day of the wedding until she is presented to him by her father. It will be the same with the Church. Father God will present us the Church to His Son the Bridegroom.

[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

[16] For the Lord himself (God) 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:

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord (GOD) in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Webster’s dictionary defines the word rapture as being snatched away. To me there is a difference between being snatched away and being caught up. Snatching away sounds like something being taken without anyone knowing it. I believe we will know when we are caught up to meet God in the air just as the disciples knew when Jesus was taken up in the following scriptures.

Acts 1:

[9] And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

[10] And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

[11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

I believe this Verse 11 is talking about the time when Jesus comes back to earth to set up God’s Kingdom at the beginning of the one thousand year Millennium.

This book was not written to discredit or disprove any other writer’s theories concerning their teaching of the scriptures, that is between them and God but I will stand up for the truth about what the scriptures say.

I believe God created the heavens and the earth and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came to earth as a baby and at the approximate age of thirty-three He was crucified and died for our redemption and after three days and nights in the grave He rose victorious over sin and death. He is now seated at the right hand of God making intersession for us as our High Priest. I believe in the trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.

Webster’s dictionary calls a believer like me a Trinitarian, one who believes in the doctrine of the Trinity, the Union of One Godhead consisting of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. I consider it an honor and privilege to be called a Trinitarian. The majority of the Church Family today has lost this message of the Trinity and never teach the Trinity doctrine anymore. Better wake up Church, God is coming back for a Church that is teaching the fullness of His Holy Scriptures.

In my KJV Bible on my computer there are 4779 scripture verses referenced to God, 197 scripture verses referenced to Jesus Christ, 49 scripture verses referenced to the Son of God and 91 scripture verses referenced to the Holy Ghost, and many more verses which reference other names for God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, this sounds like a trinity to me. If you don’t believe in the trinity than pray and ask God to open your spiritual eyes and give you complete understanding of His Word and He will. Proverbs Chapter 2 speaks of wisdom and understanding.

The following Holy Scriptures teaches this doctrine, this is not my theory.

John 14: When Jesus ascended into Heaven after His death, He said:

[16] And I (Jesus) will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; (There it is the Trinity).

[17] Even the Spirit of truth (Talking about the Holy Ghost); whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (When you have the Holy Ghost in you, you also have the spirit of God the Father and God the Son in you).

[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (One of the works of the Holy Ghost is to manifest the spirit of God and Jesus to us and in us and bring all things to our remembrance whatsoever I (Jesus) have said unto you).

[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

[21] He that hath my (talking about Jesus) 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.

[22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you

[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

I believe we need to be talking about and listening to the Holy Ghost which is the third entity of the Godhead. Verse 26 say’s He’s our Teacher and Comforter and will bring back to our remembrance the good tidings about God and Jesus.

Matthew 28: [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Again proof of the Trinity.

Acts 10: [38] How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Everyone loves to receive gifts and this includes me so we should love The Holy Ghost because it is a gift from God as seen in the following scriptures:

Acts.2

[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts.10

[45] And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Even Jesus the Son of God needed the anointing of the Holy Ghost and Power. The power of God comes within the Holy Ghost. If Jesus needed the Holy Ghost and Power, how much more do we need the power of the Holy Ghost.

Mark 1:

[8] I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

[9] And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

[10] And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

[11] And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

[12] And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

[13] And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

1John 5: [7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (which is Jesus), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one, Again the Trinity.

These verses mentions The Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Ghost, the Trinity that makes up the Godhead.

In Genesis, Chapter 1 Verse 26, God said, Let us make man in OUR image. Who do you think the word OUR is referencing in this scripture that God is referring to? I believe it was God the Father, Jesus the Son and Holy Ghost. Again proof of the Trinity.

You might ask, what does the Trinity have to do with the book of Revelation but as you read and study this book you will see that God the Father, Jesus the Son and The Holy Ghost are very prevalent in the events that take place in this book of Revelation.

Many churches today are not teaching about the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Trinity and are losing the identity of the Holy Ghost using other names for the Holy Ghost. For example interchanging the wording Holy Spirit for the Holy Ghost thus compromising with the world without ever realizing it. I wonder if the devil had anything to do with man changing this wording of the Scriptures. The Bible calls him the master deceiver. I truly believe the devil uses his influence thru the actions of man without man even realizing it.

I have attended full gospel church services and never heard the name of the Holy Ghost mentioned. Something is wrong with this type of church. God said this type of church was lukewarm resembling the Laodicea Church found in Chapter 3 of Revelation. He said He would spew them out of His mouth.

This all started in the early 1960’s when the Charismatic Movement was birthed and people started transposing the words Holy Spirit instead of the Holy Ghost. I believe this was a devise used by the deceiver, the devil, without Christians even realizing it.

Mainline Pentecostal Churches have since adopted this wording as well and we have raised up a generation that does not know the difference between Gods Holy Spirit and the Third Person of the Godhead which is the Holy Ghost as stated in Verse 26 of John 14. In my King James Bible on my computer references to the Holy Spirit only appears in 7 verses while the name of the Holy Ghost appears in 91 verses, this alone should be a revelation to us as to what we should believe and say.

Please don’t get the wrong idea, I believe in and love God’s Holy Spirit. I believe it dwells in us if we have accepted Jesus as our Savior. I also believe in and love the Holy Ghost. I believe there is a difference between these two. I believe it is thru Gods Holy Spirit that we can experience the infilling of the Holy Ghost just like the one hundred and twenty did on the day of Pentecost. For example when we accept Jesus as our Savior we do receive God’s Holy Spirit in our soul and that is what saves us thru the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost the third person of the Godhead is a separate entity that we can experience and be baptized into and we should honor Him as such if we believe in the Trinity of the Godhead.

I believe we are going to need the power of the Holy Ghost to resist the powers of the antichrist in these last days. Church get ready the last days are fast approaching.

My analysis on the infilling of the Holy Ghost: When we give our heart to Jesus and accept Him as our Savior, God’s Holy Spirit dwells within us. It is like wading out into a stream of water up to our waist, we are getting wet, but only partially, but to experience the infilling of the Holy Ghost, we need to wade out until we are completely submersed in water (representing God’s Holy Spirit), then we will become completely wet (filled) with the gift of the Holy Ghost the third entity of the Godhead.

What is the anointing of the Holy Ghost? I believe it is the divine power given by God that endues our mortal fleshly body with power thru faith in God for Him to accomplish thru us spiritual exploits which can’t be explained by earthly men.

I believe The Holy Ghost is a separate entity from God’s Holy Spirit just as Jesus is a separate entity from Father God. I wonder what God thinks about His church that is teaching and compromising His Word after sending His Son to die for our sins? Jesus said in Verse [16] above: And I (Jesus) will pray
