Introduction

With all meekness and boldness in the Spirit, we touch the Book of Revelation to perform an in-depth study until God gets all glory from the beginning to the end of that book. Therefore, God forbid that we guess and that we presume over this precious insight that He has opened up for us!

Concerning this book, our message is to bring hope to those that are without. Many prayers have gone up to heaven for those that will read it and for those that will hear it. Those who are called for this blessed purpose will know the timing, have hope, and stay prepared. Oh, their enlarged heart will pound with such joy that no man will be able to take that glory away from them.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their bed. let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. (Ps. 149:5–9)

Thank God, we do not have to bind things carnally! For in the name of Jesus, the binding and loosing will be done through the power of praise!

Let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them: let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee. For Thou Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt Thou compass him as with a shield. (Ps. 5:11–12)

Now, O God of hope, (do)fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 15:13)

In Jesus’s name, the heavens will bow down when we pray. Thank you, Jesus.

The Holy Ghost will be seven times more powerful in our last days upon the earth with seven rejoicing eyes of God to meet us as it is written of Him in Rev. 5:6. His Spirits are sent forth into all the earth for our benefit to stir up our pure mind! He has totally poured out His Spirit, holding nothing back!

The knowledge of God is open to us, because the time is at hand. In Daniel 12:4, we notice that in the last days, knowledge will be increased. God is not interested in talking about how the world will increase in knowledge, which is foolishness to Him. Yet, He is telling us that His people will increase in the knowledge of God. Oh, let the wicked run to and fro, and let the wise increase in knowledge forevermore!

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Dan. 12:3–4)

Many shall be purified and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly (with their foolish knowledge): and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Dan. 12:10)

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as waters cover the sea. (Hab. 2:14)

Two-Thirds Versus One-Third

The earth consists of less than one-third land and more than two-thirds water (Roughly, 71 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water; ref. Google). When we consider it, we realize that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will spread out in the same proportion as the waters of the sea, which is more than two-thirds. This knowledge leads us to believe that there will always be more of us as more than two-thirds in measure than of them that are less than one-third in the world (Acts 18:10; 2 Kgs. 6:16; Rev. 7:9). Hallelujah! When Israel disobeyed, God stretched out His arm to the Gentiles to make the measurement right.

God Has Revealed to Us His New Plan, though It Is of Old

For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Is. 65:17–18)

He hath made everything beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. (Ecc. 3:11) (We are not of this world.)

Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen (The whole creation will stand in awe of Him to see His favor toward His people whom He called My people!) This people (There will be four different kind of multitudes of people.) have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise. (Is. 43:19–21).

The Faithless Froward Generation and the Faithful Forward Generation

Two distinct generations will pop up before His arrival. Both will play a very crucial role to hasten the coming of our Lord: a faithless froward generation that will consist of less than one-third of the population at that time, and a faithful forward generation which will consist of more than two-thirds of the population.

1. The faithless froward generation

We also notice that when judgment will come to His household, by releasing the horses of Rev. 6:1–8, a fourth part of the so-called Christian population that is at ease will simply be wiped off from the face of the earth by death before the great tribulation hits. The red horse will bring the third world war after the Jews are sealed. Weak Christians will be offended, which will cause the falling away first (Matt. 24:12). This will give an occasion for scoffers and the false prophets to arise out of the falling away group.

These people know the Word and will be judged by the Word. There will be a manifestation of miracles that will overflow wherever the power of the true gospel is spread in the midst of the faithful population who will consider their persecution as worthy. The miracles will arise to cause a contention with this viperous generation. Eventually, this viperous generation will walk with the mingled people of the world (as scoffers and the false prophets) to face the great tribulation: the wrath of God.

And He said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. (Dt. 32:20)

And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? (Lk. 18:7–9)

Jesus spoke this parable unto certain people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others. Lord, why will you come to a place where there is no faith? we often ask Him. Then we read His parable in Lk. 18:9–14 where He was talking about this viperous generation. Having no faith, they made themselves self-righteous. No, He will not find any faith on them to turn around. For their father is a liar.

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Matt. 23:33)

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (nothing good will come out of their mouth, even if they try, for their heart will be very corrupted). (Matt. 12:34)

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. (2 Thes. 3:1–2)

2. The faithful forward generation

There will be two great multitudes of people whose labor will form the third greatest multitude of Rev. 7:9 when the gospel shall be preached in the entire world for a witness unto all nations. This will consist of more than two thirds of the whole population of the world during that time. They will be drawn into a sense of purity over faith in Christ Jesus. They will merge upon the face of the earth first, and then they will be upon the land of Israel, as a sign of the beginning of ‘the fullness of the Gentiles’ which will trigger the fullness of the Jews, being provoked by jealousy over the living God (Rom. 11:25, Rom. 11:12). When Jerusalem is attacked, which is at hand (before Rev. 11:2 will surface), some of this greatest multitude will come forward to build Zion to fulfill Is. 60, Ps. 102:16, Dan. 9:25 and Matt. 23:39 prior to His coming. Those scriptures are a clear indication that He is not coming until Zion is rebuilt for the Messiah to come!

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer (Rev. 14:1), and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. (Rom. 11:25–26)

The word fullness here is not a quota, but a highest state of satisfaction that will make ‘Christ is all, and in all’ (Col. 3:11): it is the fulfillment of the Holy Spirit for ‘life unto life and death unto death’ situations. Rev. 7:9 speaks against a quota: ‘Multitude, which no man could number!’

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: to the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? (2 Cor. 2:14–15)

The Three Gatherings of His People

Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. (Is. 66:8)

It will take only one moment for Zion to be born again. And it will take only one day for the earth to be made to bring forth salvation. The birth of Zion will come shortly triggering the earth to bring forth her salvation on the same day! Who has heard such a thing?

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. (Is. 45:8)

The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. (Dan. 9:24·25)

A noticeable peace and prosperity with joyfulness, and the fear of God will flourish in Zion for a time during the preparation for the Messiah to come. Rev. 8:1 indicates that (see Rev. 8 in chapters 17, 18).

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. (Ps. 122:7)

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. (Ps. 89:7)

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Ps. 2:11)

…When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 Thes. 1:10

To be admired causes us to believe that they will joyfully rebuild Jerusalem to celebrate unto the Messiah to come!

When the Lord shall build up Zion, (then) he shall appear in his glory. (Ps. 102:16).

It is very clear that Zion has to be built up first, before His arrival!

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; it shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily (continuously going to entreat the face of the Lord) to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. (Zech. 8:20–23)

Thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. (Is. 60:11)

The first gathering will be the born again from the two great multitudes of Christians and Jewish converts as one fold of Ez. 37:1–14. This will happen after the Jews are sealed (Rev. 7:1–8)

Please note that after the first gathering of His people in the mountains, peace and prosperity will flourish there. The mountains of Israel will be built first for Judaea to flee to the mountains when Jerusalem will be under siege in Rev. 11:1–8. Once the whole land is rebuilt, there will be no more destruction. The enemies will be drawn there by God to cut them in pieces, not to take the holy land.

The second continuous gathering will be during this Jerusalem’s attack which is at hand where Is. 60 is activated. The people will gather themselves unto the Lord in the land of Israel continually.

And the third gathering will be when the Lord comes (the angels: the old resurrected saints of Matt. 27:52,53 will gather them. See Heb. 12:1,22,23; Rev. 19:14; Ps. 68:17). The greatest multitude of Rev. 7:9 will continue to convert until His arrival. As soon as they convert, they will flow together in the height of Zion to the mountains from the pressure of the gross darkness in the world. Yet, there will still be many converts remaining outside Israel as elects of Mk. 13:27 at His coming.

The People of Zion: A Holy Gathering

God considers Zion as a holy place prepared for the dwellers of heaven, a physical and spiritual place of refuge. Salem also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in Zion. This place also will be a very troubled spot, because of the Lord’s holiness.

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah, and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. (Zech. 12:2–3)

(For) His fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. (Is. 31:9)

But after the restoration, the whole area will take on a new shape and be lifted up higher than any mountain to be visible from everywhere. (see Ps. 76; Jer. 31; Ps. 48:2; Dt. 4:48; Is. 2:2–4, 4:5,6)

In the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it… (Mic. 4:1) (This has to happen before Rev. 11:2 comes.)

Not a single Jewish soul that is saved will stay outside of Israel at His arrival. All will be safe and secure in their own border. He did not demand the world to welcome Him. He demanded Jerusalem to do so (Matt. 23:37–39). Therefore, we split this greatest multitude of Rev. 7:9 into the three gatherings above.

And another multitude of people will be spared at the sign of the appearance of the Son of man in heaven of Matt. 24:30. We called this last group of the faithful forward generation as the blessed mourners. To them and the remnant of Rev. 12:17, angels will preach (Rev. 14:6–11). To address all of them, He proclaimed in Is. 43:21, saying, This people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise!

The Four Groups of the Faithful Forward Generation

This will be a multitude of His people whom we divided into four groups. The first three groups of the multitudes of people listed below will interlink with each other in the process of making them ready for the coming of the King. They all will receive the same blessing and multiplying of Abraham and the inheritance of Christ’s Spirit, power, grace, and glory in full measure (that is the fullness of Jews and the Gentiles) as the matter shall require for them. Moreover, the seven Spirits of God will rejoice over them to guide them as it was written in Rev. 5:6.

In the last days, people shall know their God and shall be strong and do exploits as Daniel wrote about them in Dan. 11:32. They shall fear no more, nor be discouraged, neither shall they be lacking anything, being full of faith and the Holy Ghost!

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord. (Jer. 23:3–4)

And the fourth group will be the blessed mourners. They will appear after His arrival.

The Physical Gathering

There will be two ways of physical gathering of the remnants of His people into the Holy Land.

The two great multitudes; the faithful Christian group and the sealed Jews together will be transported with their mortal bodies by physical and spiritual means (Is. 52:12; Ps. 50:5; Hag. 2:5; Neh. 9:20–21) into the mountains of Israel where God prepares a place for them for a while to help Israel during her calamities which are at hand. They will be the remnant as compared to the abundance of the conversion of all tribes of the nations that eventually surface from their labor.

Some among the greatest multitude will follow after, by the zeal of the Lord, to build Zion. Is. 60 and other books have listed those that will come by physical means with their wealth. And the rest of the people that will live outside of Israel will go to Zion when they receive Christ. The gates will be open continually for them (Ps. 118:19–20).

We see the remnant of the second gathering as Noah gathered:

Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous (by the Blood) before me in this generation…for yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth…and the Lord shut him in. (Gen. 7:1–16)

We realize that there was a waiting period of seven days before destruction came for the ungodly. This spiritual delay is to revive His people for the spiritual battle that is coming before them when they have to flee to the mountains and to face the false prophets that will saturate there until their end comes.

That means, Christianity will spread first for the purpose of gathering His people (Mk. 13:10; Acts 2:16–17,21; Matt. 9:37–38; Hag. 2:5–9; Is. 61:11). We discuss this as the gathering of the Jews. Then we all will be, at one point, physically transported by the Holy Spirit (Zech. 4:6), and the angels perhaps will assist us (Ps. 91:11; 12, Gen. 19:15–26), into the mountains of Israel as one fold of Ez. 37:11. We will remain there until the vengeance comes to wipe off the wickedness of Zion and Jerusalem. It is interesting that the angel told Lot to escape to the mountain. However, he refused in doubt and bargained for less.

Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. (Gen. 19:17–21)

Two conflicts will arise in the land of the living before His coming for two good reasons!

The mountains of Israel will be revived first by His chosen ones and by strangers. Then at the last battle, God will put hooks into the jaws of His enemies, drawing them to the mountains to destroy them (Ez. 38–39). After rebuilding the cities of the mountains, it will turn into a Garden of Eden. The mountains need to be cleaned up, and nature has to revive again. Ezekiel prophesied against the mountains, Jerusalem, and the false prophets because of the corruption.

The land of Israel cannot be cleaned up until the Spirit will be poured out as all prophets agreed.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; Yea, upon all houses of joy in the joyous city: because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left for dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. (Is. 32:13–15)

Here we see that when the Spirit pours out, the wilderness becomes a fruitful field (see also Zech. 2:4–5; Is. 51:3–4; Ez. 36, 38:11–23, 39). To seal up the vision and prophecy, all prophecies have to come to pass before His coming: when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away (1 Cor. 13:10).

The destruction of Jerusalem comes suddenly after the Jews are sealed, which will be restored as holy by strangers and by the converts for the Messiah to come.

To fulfill the fullness of the Gentiles, the maximum number will convert prior to the desolation of Jerusalem during the ministries of the two witnesses. During their time, a part of Jerusalem is still considered as Sodom (Rev. 11:8).

The two good reasons from God to gather us again:

But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore, say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. (Ez. 36:21–22)

The Jews are no longer responsible for keeping the house anymore. Do not blame them! Now the Christians who profess to be His people become responsible to keep the house of God.

And the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. (Ez. 36:23)

Do remember that at this point, all Israel is converted including Judah’s extended family. Together, we are called to be gathered into the mountains of Israel.

Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. (Dan. 3:28–29)

The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. (Zech. 12:7) (In Rev. 7:5; Judah was sealed first.)

The remnant of His flock refers to all born-again Christians of the Gentiles and Jewish origin that are called out during this gathering time as a former rain (more will come as a latter rain). The 144,000 are included here, for they are the first fruit of the Spirit that will bring the rest of their brethren from Jewish faith to Christianity. But the other gathering call will go step by step as "early in the morning, about the third hour, about the sixth and ninth hour and about the eleventh hour’’ to bring the new converts (laborers of Matt. 20:1–7) into the fold. The conversion will endure to the end, even after the gospel reaches to all of Matt. 24:14. Moreover, the conversion will continue, due to the fact that the gospel is everlasting. Why will the gospel be preached if there is no need for conversion (ref. Rev. 14:6)?

At one point, when no man can work (Matt. 24:14), we will move from all countries to the mountains of Israel to witness our labors at work as a latter rain. The majority of the multitude will go to restore Jerusalem (Is. 60; Dan. 9:24,25). The world has heard the gospel, and Jerusalem needs to be rebuilt for Messiah to come. It was not a mistake that our Lord instructed only the residents of Judaea to flee to the mountains, not telling anyone else all over the world where to go, because Judah’s extended family is already there (Matt. 24:16), and Jerusalem is facing vicious attacks (Rev. 11:2).

The governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God. (Zech. 12:5) (That shows that the people living there already know their God at that time.)

The place where we will be gathered in for a time being before His coming will be transformed by the glory of the Lord as the Garden of Eden. Then the angels will preach to the leftover people who will be heirs of Christ later (Rev. 14:6).

The name of our citizenship also will change. The leftover people will be considered as heirs of Christ, not as Judah’s extended family. His children will be titled as the dwellers of heaven, and the rest of the people will be called the inhabiters of the earth.

When Zion will rise, His people will rejoice.

Rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. (Rev. 12:12)

However, the rest of the world will be considered as this.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Rev. 12:12)

Nevertheless, His rage will not affect those that will be heirs of Christ later: we experience this miracle in our own life that whom God hid, none can find! And whom God finds, none can hide. Amen!

Before our gathering, the true Christians (those that are written in the Lamb’s book of life) will suddenly wake up from their slumbering state with power and glory, as it was written at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him (Matt. 25:6). The 144,000 that are sealed for this purpose will be transformed by the Spirit.

Then together, they will bring forth this third greatest multitude (Rev. 7:9) who will be appointed as the true worshippers of God. And the first two groups will be assigned as shepherds over this multitude of worshippers whom they brought forth as a fruitful increase of their labor. That will cause the inevitable white harvest of Matt. 9:37–38! God will stir them up.

The Five Groups of Multitudes

The Christians multitude (Rev. 6:2); some of them will be martyrs. The Lord Jesus Christ will gather and revive the born-again Christians first by releasing the white horse and the rider whom He appointed to conquer, which are His (Is. 42:13; He prevails).

The 144,000 and their multitude (Rev. 7:1–8); none of them will be martyrs (in Rev. 14:1, they lived). He will seal the 144,000 in their forehead to gather the rest of their brethren.

The true worshippers of God, the last and the greatest multitude of His people that no one can number of Rev. 7:9, will appear on the face of the earth. The earth will tremble from the noise of their footsteps. No martyrs will be from this group (Rev. 15:2). The martyrs will precede them. This group will escape the wrath of God (Rev. 6:3–8: WWIII). For their sake, God will shorten the time, because they are the very elect and they are babes, though their heart will be like this:

…But if ye worship not (the golden image), ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king, but if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image (image of the beast, Rev. 13:15, 14:7–11) which thou hast set up. (Dan. 3:15–18) (Note that the remnant of Rev. 12:17 and 14:8–13 will receive glorious martyrdom. Rev. 7:9 are not included in this group.)

And the last group is the blessed mourners that will eventually transform into the men that are made in the image of God. This group of us is separated from the other three groups, because they will have a different purpose. They will not be transformed at His arrival. They will be saved later. These combine (the first four groups) to become the greatest multitude that God promised to Abraham in Gen. 22:17–18.

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. (Gen. 22:17–18)

Finally, the group of the viperous generation: this group will face the great tribulation; the wrath of God.

Since the third multitude becomes the last and the greatest multitude before His arrival, the Lord desires us to lift them up first, because the majority of them are babes in Christ. Their ministry will be very short and provoking as sharp threshing instruments having teeth!

Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. (Is. 41:15–16)

They are called to worship God in Spirit and in truth. For our Father is looking for such to worship Him to bring forth the expected end.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. (Jn. 4:23–24)

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and suckling’s thou hast perfected praise? (Matt. 21:15–16)

Without babes, the praise cannot be perfected! The viperous generation first saw His miracles, and then they saw these children worshipping God loudly! They were sore provoked.

Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein (this condition will occur to those that are the unbelieving Christians in the last days), save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (Bear in mind that there will be more of us as Caleb and Joshua, acting as shepherds over those that will be babes in Christ, because they are the multitude without number, more than of the unbelievers, to fulfill the Word that is written in Jer. 23:4.)

But your little ones (born again babes in Christ), which ye said should be a prey; them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. But as for you (stiff-necked Christians), your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness. (Num 14:30–32; Matt. 24:28)

Ez. 37:1–14 tells us that at one point, the whole house of Israel will be transported physically by the Holy Spirit to the land of Israel that God has prepared for His people. His angels may assist us in this process as the example of Lot in Lk. 17:28–30. For God cannot destroy any place until His children are out from there. As Jesus said, Flee into the mountains when part of Jerusalem will be destroyed (Matt. 24:15–16).

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither, therefore the name of the city was called Zoar (little). (Gen. 19:22)

In Zion, God will magnify Himself as our God and we as His people. It will happen at any time now before the great tribulation to fulfill that the gospel shall be preached to the world for a witness which will convert the multitudes (Matt. 24:14).

Rev. 12:11 tells us that we overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and of our testimony of Jesus (by the Holy Spirit; Matt. 10:19–20, 12:37), not by our hard trials. The Holy Spirit and His angels are designed to recognize only the Blood of Jesus and the testimony of the Spirit whereby Jesus overcame the world. They will consider nothing else! Therefore, whoever will believe the power of His Blood and the Holy Spirit’s movements will pray and escape the tribulation of Rev. 6:1–8 to stand before Him (Lk. 21:36) in the land of Israel.

Now, if we (the Christians) consider ourselves as His people, then as a portion of Judah’s extended family, we will be gathered with them too. For all scriptures we received are supporting that thought. All of us who serve Jesus at that point of gathering will be transported as pure Christians! God will not recognize any other spirit to move to His holy land that He is preparing for us. For this land will not survive for the Jews without Christ who promised the land! It will be destroyed and be rebuilt again within a very short time by Christ like Jews as the Garden of Eden; a city not forsaken. God will chastise every one of us there for greater performance, not for death (2 Cor. 6:9). There will be no bastard in this gathering!

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Heb. 12:8)

The real Jews will not tolerate the abomination of Jerusalem, they will flee from it. Moreover, not a single Jew whose name is written in the book of life will be lost. All will be delivered (Dan. 12:1)! Hallelujah! Remember, the gospel will be preached for a witness, and that is the blessing we are leaving behind. God is not satisfied with remnants only. His appetite is huge to swallow up everything into life! With all their might, the rest of the world will try to reach out for Jesus, because the abundance of iniquity around them will harass them. Their idols will fail them. We read:

A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. (Jer. 50:38)

Therefore, join us to glorify the Father and Jesus in the power of the Holy Ghost that those that are His will merge together as one. And that His bride shall hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. She will repent, revive, and overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and by her true testimony of the Spirit.

And the Spirit and the bride say Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. And let your grace be with us all (see Rev. 22:17,20,21).

For we are the branches of your planting, the work of your hands, that you may be glorified. (Is. 60:21).

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. Behold at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At that time I will bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity, before your eyes, saith the Lord. (Zeph. 3:17–20) (Something that is turned back before our eyes has to be physical!)

Amen!

Word came on 4.26.13, Friday, re: Gathering of the Jews:

They are not mine that consider not what was written of them (Re: Ez. 37:1–14). Whoever will not believe are not my people and will not be gathered in by me into the land which I have prepared for my people. I am the Lord that will gather them one by one. Whoever considers themselves as my people, will be transported to my land as my people (read Ez. 13:9).

On 5.11.13, Tuesday, Word came again of how we shall be gathered: Not by might (army), not by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts (Zech. 4:6).

Word came on 2.2.18, Friday, Gather my saints (Is. 52:12; Ps. 50:3–5). Therefore, the time is at hand!

2

The Gathering of the Jews (Judah): By His Spirit!

(Part One)

Introduction

In part one, we will discuss what is coming to Israel now. And in part two, we will see God’s great deliverance for all His people from the world to His chosen land at this gathering call. It will be a great testimony to the world before His arrival.

To Measure Jerusalem; Now Is the Time!

Is. 14:1–3 tells us that at the appointed time, God will bring His people to His appointed land before He possesses the whole earth. Ezekiel tells us,

Then said I whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. The angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him. And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: for I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her (It is about to come!) for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye… Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord (It is a terror when God decides to dwell in the midst of a sinful nation! See Zech. 2:1–10).

For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh (the proud ones) and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. (Ez. 32:32)

And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land and shall choose Jerusalem again. Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord; for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. (Zech. 2:11–13)

He is raised up to eliminate everyone that opposes His plan!

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Out of him came forth the corner (Is. 28:16), out of him the nail (Is. 22:23), out of him the battle bow (Rev. 6:2), out of him every oppressor together (They shall rule over their oppressors. See Is. 14:2). And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight (Rev. 7:3–8 and Ez. 37:1–14 will work here.), because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. (Zech. 10:3–5)

…and I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them. And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the Lord. I will hiss for them, and gather them for I have redeemed them (Rev. Ch. 7, Ez. 37:1–14): and they shall increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again…and I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord. (Zech. 10:3,6–9) (Rev. 14:1–5).

Rev. 8:1 tells us that His people will have peace (silence) for a while. God will make everyone to hold his peace when His exceeding great army of Ez. 37:1–14 will come to restore the land after a chaotic destruction that is coming shortly upon the land of Israel.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (Rev. 8:1)

The heavenly half-hour is approximately twenty-one years according to the calculation of 2 Pet. 3:8 (24 hours=1,000 years. Therefore, a half hour is 20.84 years). It will happen when Rev. 7 comes to pass. There will be a profound peace of Is. 41:1 upon Israel for twenty-one years.

Heavenly silence means there will be no natural disasters during a time when the four angels hold the four winds of the earth by the order from heaven not to hurt the earth and the sea until the Jews are sealed (Rev. 7:1–8 till Rev. 8:7). The opening of the seals of Rev. 6 will be associated with the noise of thunder as a sign from heaven of what is coming upon the earth now!

In Rev. 6:1–2, we see that the white horse is released first to gather us. The manifestation of Rev. 7:1–8 will start here. Then Rev. 7:9–17 will start with WWIII. They will go through a great tribulation when the red, black, and pale horse will pass across the whole world. His church will be severely tested, yet she will make it through! Remember that the wrath of God is not for us but for the children of disobedience (Rom. 1:18; Eph. 5:6). If we remember His word, we will be able to come out of this tribulation as Rev. 7:14 declares for the greatest multitude! His church will become a chastised virgin through this tribulation.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Rev. 3:10–11)

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (Jn. 16:33)

The red horse is released to take peace from the earth (Rev. 6:4; WWIII). There will be no peace anywhere for anyone not fully committed to Jesus! The fake churches will have more turmoil than the rest of the world to face.

And They Shall Know That I Am the Lord

Israel will face this evil to purify the land for the Messiah to come. Their land belongs to the Lord. He will choose who are His to serve Him there in the last days!

A Sudden Destruction

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Is. 33:14)

A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them…Moreover I will make thee waste. (Ez. 5:12–14)

So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it. (Ez. 5:17)

In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. (Ez. 6:6)

And they shall know that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. (Ez. 6:10)

This evil is not coming for them that serve Him diligently. He will do this to purify His land and the people for Himself.

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; an end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. (Ez. 7:2)

The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity (Zech. 12 will fulfill here). All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. (Ez. 7:15–17)

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. (Ez. 7:25)

The pestilence within:

That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten: and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. (Joel 1:4)

The sword without: When the destruction comes from without to break down the borders, the Lord will send His troops to repossesses the land. Otherwise, the unbelievers will get it!

For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. (Joel 1:6)

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; an end, the end is come upon the four comers of the land. (Ez. 7:2)

The surrounding neighbors will devastate the borders of Israel.

Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. (Joel 1:15)

The daughters of Zion are crying. Why will God do such things? He said,

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Is. 55:11)

He demands Israel to be holy again or else! The corruption has to go to rebuild Israel according to the Word of God. Unless there is death, there is no resurrection. In Joel chapters 2 and 3, we see the transformation of Israel when people repent.

The earth shall quake before them (the insect infestations and the sword at the borders); the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: and the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great (The exceeding great army of Ez. 37:1–14 will assist here): for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? (Joel 2:10–11)

Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? (Joel 2:17)

God will not hold His peace when the enemy challenges His credibility over His people and His land!

Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things (he hath magnified to do). Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. (Joel 2:18–21)

Joel 2:22–32 is talking about the physical and spiritual prosperity that will overflow afterward.

And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (it is not the enemy that is destroying, but it is the Lord’s deal). (Joel 2:24–25)

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. (Joel 2:26–27)

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit…(Joel 2:28–29)

Mount Zion will be set up for deliverance first before the last attack on Jerusalem (Rev. 11:2).

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant (Ez. 37:1–14) whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:32)

Joel chapter 3 is talking about the reason why He will gather nations to come and fight against Israel, His nation.

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:1–2)

The land borders will be established at this time.

Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about (He will judge the heathen that are round about, not the whole world at this time). (Joel 3:12)

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:14)

Many nations will convert at that time.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; in those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew (Judah/Christians), saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. (Zech. 8:20–23)

So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her anymore. (Joel 3:17)

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. (Rev. 14:1)

The 144,000 sealed ones will have their ministry in Mount Zion before His arrival. All prophecies concerning the landscape of Israel, sealing of the Jews, and the greatest multitude of Christians have to surface before Jerusalem is besieged (Rev. 11:2) to fulfill Lk. 21:22. After that, heaven is coming down for us to worship the King! Nothing will need any fixing, and the destruction abides only for His enemy.

Therefore, the borders that God promised to Abraham have to be restored, and the prosperity has to overflow as the Garden of Eden for the glory of the landscape to fulfill Ez. 38–39.

Above all, a part of Jerusalem has to be called the holy city that the Gentiles tread underfoot during the last three and a half years. Nevertheless, the other part of the city will be called the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Rev. 11:2,8). It is clear that Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem with seven hills/mountains. See Rev. 14:8, 16:19, 17:9 as a clue.

To give honor to His friend, Abraham, and to preserve the integrity of His prophets, the Lord God will do a marvelous thing! He will devastate modern Israel. The borders will be taken by their enemies (Ez. 7:2), but not for their own profit. A pestilence will pursue within and the sword without. The enemy will be caught up in between, none escaping! The whole land will be devastated (Ez. 5:12)! Yet, His great army will restore and expand the land just as God promised His people. Yes, Israel will be built again by the whole house of Israel of Ez. 37:1–14 (including the 144,000 and by the help of the others). Not a single inch of God-given land will His enemy be able to assimilate.

And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together anymore unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. (Jer. 51:44)

Three shepherds also I cut off in one month (consider who are those three shepherds that are flourishing upon His land); and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat everyone the flesh of another (of his fellow or neighbors). (Zech. 11:8)

They shall go, with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. (Hos. 5:6–7)

Within a month, the land will be laid waste. Then the whole house of Israel of Ez. 37:11 will come from the outcast of Israel to repossess the land. Devastated Zion will become a Garden of Eden.

Is. 51:3, Ez. 36:34–38, Joel, Zechariah, Daniel, and the other prophets all agreed that Israel will prosper again before He comes:

For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. (Is. 51:3)

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it. (Ez. 36:34–36)

To provoke Gog and Magog to attack the mountains of Israel, these scriptures have to be fulfilled first:

After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which
