Introduction

Some two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ came into the world as a human, spoke his peace, and disappeared. Since that time, His words, as well as the words of the apostles and the teachings of the Old Testament, have been given almost every possible meaning. This writer has been commissioned by God to see the world through the eyes of Christ in this present age and to report or publicize the findings thereof. The Word became flesh so that men of flesh could comprehend it. For the most part, it has remained in its carnal meaning to people since that time. God has chosen this little book to open the doors to long-hidden Bible prophecy and teaching. It is a book of life because it will reveal Jesus Christ to those who can grasp the magnitude of its contents. It could also be called the ark of the testament since it contains the keys to the third dimension of Bible interpretation, which is the heavenly viewpoint. The reader who uses the concepts of this book to unravel the mysteries of the Word will discover that they have heard the voice of the Son of God. Those Christians who hear the Son of God speaking to them through the scriptures will arise from the graves of doubt and disillusionment into which they have been put down, never to succumb to death again in its spiritual aspects. Having won the victory over death, the creature within them, which is born of God, will then be free from sin, whose root is unbelief. They will stand forth in the likeness of Jesus Christ, the adopted sons of God.

Part 1

The Nations

The Bible has a language of its own. Although there are several writers involved, it is almost entirely written in parables. A parable is a story about something literal or concrete in the life of mankind which illustrates an invisible truth. Or we may use the old cliché: a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.

One of the parables most universally misunderstood by Christians and Bible scholars is the story about the destruction of the world at the end of this age. The planet itself is not going to be destroyed. The private world of ungodly men is going to be destroyed, just as it was in the days of Noah. Jesus said that the coming of the son of man would be similar to the situation of the days of Noah (Matt. 24:37). The fire that is to be brought in on the world of ungodly men is their own shame and disgrace (2 Pet. 2:5) when it is made apparent to themselves and to their fellow man.

The result of taking the Bible literally can be dangerous. Since the advent of the atomic bomb, many religious people have capitalized on the teaching of the Bible that this world is going up in smoke. They have caused people to believe that it will happen as a result of a war with Russia and China in a controversy over the Middle East. They claim that Russia is the northern army mentioned in the Old Testament which is to come against the land of Israel. They don’t understand that the nations of the Old Testament represent the Christian denominations of the New Testament age. The country to the north of Israel was the empire of Babylon. In the New Testament, it plays the part of the largest and most powerful denomination in the world. Since we can see the end of the church age, it is easy to see that the Baptist denomination falls into that particular category. Their fall is predicted (Rev. 18). They are shown as a mountain burning with fire that is cast into the middle of the sea. Their judgment is to be more severe than that of the other nations (denominations) because they have more doctrine and theological beliefs. The bountiful wealth found in the midst of her represents the undiminished supply of religious information written by the illustrious ministers of the Baptist movement. Physical destruction is not God’s intention in judging the world. This was accomplished in the Old Testament age. Yet once more God intends to judge the world, and this time around it is those who dwell in the realms of the spirit who are to be judged.

The Israel of the New Testament is the Pentecostal movement, which had its beginning somewhere around the year 1908. These people all had the calling of God in their life, and they banded together and formed denominations. They were all people who were sanctified or set apart for God’s use. Israel was set apart by God under the Old Covenant. The Pentecostal movement enjoyed the blessings of the Holy Spirit under the new covenant. Their denominations represented the tribes of Israel. They were persecuted by the other denominations, which will be the determining factor for their judgment.

The scripture declares that judgment must begin at the house of God (1 Pet. 4:17). The Pentecostals, who were God’s called-out people, have already been judged. The other denominations, whose members are only justified and not sanctified, are the gentile nations of the New Testament.

The scripture declares that Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the gentiles until the time of the gentiles is fulfilled (Luke 21:24). Now God has declared that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). He has included them all in unbelief that He may have mercy upon all (Rom. 2:32).

At this present time, God is calling His elect out of every nation (denomination) on the face of the earth. This movement of Charismatic believers supersedes denominational barriers. It is not based on doctrinal beliefs, but rather on the Spirit and love of God. Those who have overcome the churchianity of this age have literally attained sainthood. Jesus gives all overcomers power over the nations (denominations) (Rev. 2:26-27). Jesus declared that in the day of His coming, there would be two men in one bed, one would be taken and the other left (Luke 17:34). This is actually taking place. God is taking ministers and spirit-filled Christians out of
