Christ Jesus will return to earth just before the beast begins to reign to establish His throne on mount Zion, Is 24:21-13, Rev 6:12-17 & Rev 14:1-5, and consummate the end of this age. Matt 13:39-42, Matt 13:49-50 & Rev 14:14-20. Christ Jesus then uses Abraham’s seed who have been made kings and priests to rule over the earth and bless the nations in the age to come. Gal 3:8, Gal 3:29, Rev 5:10 & Rev 22:1-3. Grace, righteousness and zoe power, Ro 5:17-21, equips Abraham’s seed to rule the earth and bless the nations by giving them greatness, riches, and honor and power. Matt 5:19, Ro 2:7-10, 1 Cor 15:42-44 & 2 Cor 8:9.

The Gift of GRAHAP

God gives us the gifts of grace, righteousness and zoe. Ro 5:17-21. Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power gives us Greatness, Riches And Honor And Power. Matt 5:19, Ro 2:7-10 , 1 Cor 15:42-44 & 2 Cor 8:9. GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power) gives us GRAHAP (Greatness, Riches And Honor And Power) by conforming us to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filling us with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and giving us a share in the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4. GRAZP equips us to rule the world and bless the nations by giving us GRAHAP.

Volume 1 Divine Power And The Fullness Of God

Seven Affirmations Of Divine Power

Understanding and internalizing the following seven affirmations of divine power will help you to use God's divine power package of divine power tools to become a divine powerhouse:

Divine power transforms humans by conforming them to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filling them with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and giving them a share in the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:.4.
Divine power transforms humans into glorious, victorious, powerful humans. 1 Cor 15:42-44 & Rev 21:7.
Divine power transforms sinful, weak humans into powerful, righteous humans through the process of crucifixion with Christ. Ro 6:5, 2 Cor 13:4, Gal 5:24 & Php 3:10.
Divinely powered, victorious transformed humans will live with the Lord God Almighty and Christ Jesus on earth in the new Jerusalem forever. Rev 21:1-7, Rev 21:22-23 & Rev 22:1-5.
Divinely powered, victorious transformed humans will rule the nations with Christ. Rev 2:26-27, Rev 20:4-6 & Rev 22:5.
Divinely powered, victorious transformed humans, as the seed of Abraham, will bless all the nations of the earth. Gen 22:18 & Gen 26:4 & Gal 3:8, Gal 3:29 & Gal 5:24.
Divine power contains abundant resurrection energy, Acts 6:8, Acts 8:6 & Acts 19:11, to equip and enable divinely powered humans to do all the good works which God has authorized divinely powered humans to do. 2 Cor 9:8, Eph 2:10, Php 4:19, Col 1:9-11 & Rev 11:3-7. God uses Bible Teaching Giants to produce Giant Bible Teaching which inspires millions of followers from everywhere and all walks of life in every generation. Hustlers & Hitters For Christ developed the above seven affirmations of divine power, which can make you a divine powerhouse, from the Giant Bible Teaching of 15 Bible Teaching Giants: Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Nelson Darby, Robert Govett, Oswald Chambers, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Sperry Chafer, Watchman Nee, Vladimir Lossky, Robert B. Thieme, Jr., Witness Lee, N.T. Wright, Daniel A. Keating, Michael S. Heiser and Tim Mackie. The Giant Bible Teaching of these Bible Teaching Giants can show you how to use the seven affirmations of divine power to become a divine powerhouse who can use a deep understanding of divine power to do every good work which God has called and authorized you to do. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor 2:4-5.

The bible tells the story of how Christ Jesus makes victorious, resurrected humans the strongest, most righteous creatures in the universe and then blesses and protects the nations through those victorious, resurrected humans.

Understanding Great Promises through the Power of GRAZP

GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power) affirms the ability of grace, righteousness and zoe to grow disciples of Christ into rulers of the universe. Ro 5:17-21. We can understand the riches of God’s promises and blessings by understanding the riches of GRAZP. God’s divine power gives us all of the benefits of zoe life and godliness. 2 Pet 1:3. God has given us great and precious promises. 2 Pet 1:4. Those promises guarantee that we will be conformed to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filled with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and given a share in the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4. Those promises guarantee that we will rule cities, Luke 19:16-19, and nations, Rev 2:26-27, and kingdoms, Luke 22:29 and that we will eat at Christ’s table. Luke 22:30. Those promises guarantee that we will become the most powerful creatures in the universe, Ps 48:10, Is 41:10 & Ro 5:17-21, by becoming the righteousness of God in Christ. Is 61:1-3, Matt 25:34-37, 2 Cor 5:21 & Php 1:9-11. Those promises guarantee that we will become truly righteous and holy. Eph 4:24. Those promises give resurrected humans the ability to fulfill God’s promise of blessing the nations through Abraham’s seed. Gen 26:4, Gal 3:8 & Gal 3:29.

The blessings of God’s great and precious promises are quite real, 2 Pet 1:16, and God has called us to understand how we receive them. Jer 9:23-24, Eph 1:17-19 & 1 Pet 3:15. So how do we receive the full blessings of God’s exceeding great and precious promises? 2 Pet 1:4. The anointing of God gives a divine power package of divine power tools, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to every human who has received the anointing, Is 61:1, Luke 4:18, 2 Cor 1:21, 1 John 2:20 & 1 John 2:27, through the divine power package delivery system of the cross. 1 Cor 1:18-24, 1 Cor 2:1-5 & Gal 2:19-21. Our divine power packages transform us into divine powerhouses. God works in us to help us use our divine power packages to receive the full blessings of God’s exceeding and great promises. Php 2:12-13. We can understand the riches of the great promises which God has given us by understanding the riches of GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power).

The GRAZP-RAPAG Equation and the Gospel of the Kingdom

Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power equals Riches And Power And Greatness. Grace, righteousness and zoe power, Ro 5:17 & Ro 5:21, gives you the ability to become rich powerful and great in the kingdom of God, Matt 5:19, 1Cor 15:42-44, 2 Cor 8:9 & Rev 21:7, by running with patience the race set before you. Heb 6:12-15, Heb 12:1 & James 1:2-4. God blesses faithful followers to become rich, powerful and great in the kingdom of God. This is an expression of the gospel of the kingdom of God. Matt 4:23, Matt 9:35, Matt 24:14 & Mk 1:14-15.

The bible tells the story of how Christ Jesus makes victorious, resurrected humans the strongest, most righteous creatures in the universe and then blesses and protects the nations through those victorious, resurrected humans. GRAZPING THE RICHES OF DIVINE ENERGY

(THE RICHES OF GRACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ZOE POWER)

GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power) affirms the ability of grace, righteousness and zoe to grow disciples of Christ into rulers of the universe. Ro 5:17-21. God gives a divine power package of divine power tools, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to every human who has received the anointing. Is 61:1, Luke 4:18, 2 Cor 1:21, 1 John 2:20 & 1 John 2:27. The divine power tools of the divine power package are both divine wisdom tools and divine energy forces. 1 Cor 1:24. The divine energy forces in the divine power tools give humans all the power they need, Php 4:13 & 2 Pet 1:3-4, to become conformed to the image of Christ and to become filled with all the fullness of God. Ro 8:29 & Eph 3:19. The divine energy forces in the divine power tools gives humans all the power they need to fulfill God’s promise of blessing the nations through Abraham’s seed. Gen 26:4, Gal 3:8 & Gal 3:29. The divine power tools of the divine power package include faith, grace, zoe, righteousness, truth, humility and love. Ignorance and denial of the divine energy in these divine power tools, Eph 4:18 & 2 Tim 3:5, cripples the ability of the church to teach disciples how to use that divine energy to become renewed in righteousness and true holiness. Matt 28:18-20 & Eph 4:22-24. The following descriptions of the functions of certain divine power tools prove that the divine power package provides all the divine energy needed to conform humans into the image of Christ, fill them with all the fullness of God and renew them in righteousness and true holiness.

Faith is the divine energy force that accesses and activates the other divine energy forces. Ro 5:1-2, Gal 5:5 & Eph 2:8. Grace is the divine energy force that organizes, coordinates and distributes the other divine energy forces. (Ro 5:2, 2 Cor 9:8, Tit 2:11 & 1 Pet 5:12) & (Ro 5:15, Ro 5:17 & Ro 5:21). Righteousness and zoe are divine energy forces that equip humans to reign with Christ, Luke 22:28-30 & 2 Tim 2:12, by giving them power over sin and death. Ro 5:17-21, Ro 8:1-4 & Ro 8:10. Truth is the divine energy force that gives humans the power to worship God, John 4:24, and to recognize the desperate need to replace human righteousness with divine righteousness. 2 Thess 2:10-12. Humility is the divine energy force that empowers us to forgive each other. Eph 4:2, Php 2:3 & Col 3:13. Love is the divine energy force that empowers all divine energy forces to work together at full power, Matt 22:36-40, 1 Cor 13:13 & Col 3:14, to conform humans into the image of Christ.

The divine power package is the only gift God gives humans. Acts 2:38 & Ro 5:15-17. The divine energy force functionality is one of the two functionalities of that gift. Eph 1:19 & Eph 3:20. We squander the gift of God by failing to use one half of the functionalities of the divine power package. Matt 22:29. The divine power package contains other divine power tools like patience, waiting, hope and suffering. Ro 8:17 & Ro 8:25. But the above analysis proves that the divine power package gives you all the divine energy needed to become conformed to the image of Christ and filled with the fullness of God.

The bible tells the story of how Christ Jesus makes victorious, resurrected humans the strongest, most righteous creatures in the universe and then blesses and protects the nations through those victorious, resurrected humans.

Volume II Resurrection Energy And The Fullness Of God

Resurrection Energy and the Gospel of the Kingdom

(JEHERBERT64@GMAIL.COM)

We are half-hearted creatures fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy has been offered us … C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory.

Resurrection energy, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, conforms us to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, fills us with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and gives us a share in the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4. God calls us to understand and glory in, Jer 9:23-23, Eph 1:17-19 & 1 Pet 3:15, these great and precious promises. 2 Pet 1:4. A 25 year study of Bible Teaching Giants revealed to me that these promises refer to resurrection energy spiritually transforming, Ro 12:1-2 & 2 Cor 3:16, victorious humans, Ro 8:37 & 1 Cor 15:57, into divine powerhouses. 1 Cor 15:42-44, Php 3:21, Col 1:11-13 & 2 Pet 1:3. (Bible Teaching Giants produce teaching which inspires millions of followers from everywhere and all walks of life in every generation).

Resurrection energy is the DNA of Christ living in us and producing righteousness in us and teaching us all things. Gal 2:20-21 & 1 John 2:27. Resurrection energy transforms us into divine powerhouses who rule with Christ in the kingdom of God. Luke 22:28-30 & Rev 3:21. This is a 21^st Century expression of the gospel of the kingdom of God. Jesus came unto Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. Mk 1:14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world. Matt 24:14. Paul also preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. Acts 20:25 & Acts 28:31. Philip also preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. Acts 8:12. The bible declares that Christ Jesus is going to be king and that we can rule with him. 1 Cor 9:25 & 2 Tim 4:8. This is a 21^st Century expression of the gospel of the kingdom of God which Jesus, Paul and Philip preached.

I wrote one paper called Walking in Grace, Righteousness and Zoe Power and a second paper called The Power of GRAZP. These 2 papers provide more detailed information on the tremendous blessings which resurrection energy provides to victorious humans. Resurrection energy makes us divine powerhouses and rulers in God’s kingdom and enters us into the joy of our Lord. Matt 25:21-23. Resurrection energy equips us to experience the blessings of ruling with Christ and sharing in the joy of Christ. These blessings make us victorious humans by giving us the three things which every person wants: success, happiness and someone to share it with. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15:57. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Ro 8:37.

Resurrection Energy and Resurrection Rock Stars

(JEHERBERT64@GMAIL.COM)

Those who have insight will shine like the bright expanse of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Dan 12:3.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Let anyone who has ears listen. Matt 13:43.

So that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world. Php 2:15.

Resurrection energy, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, spiritually transforms, Ro 12:1-2 & 2 Cor 3:16, victorious humans, Ro 8:37 & 1 Cor 15:57, into resurrection rock stars, Dan 12:3, Matt 13:43 & Php 2:15, who rule with Christ in the kingdom of God. Luke 22:28-30 & Rev 3:21. In today’s language this may be the best way to describe the rewards which God gives to those who love Him. 1 Cor 2:9 & Eph 3:20. All good and faithful servants will rule with Christ and share His joy. Matt 25:21-23. They will be resurrection rock stars ruling and partying with Christ. In one way or another, we all want to live this resurrection rock star life. There is a good reason for that. Eternal God created us to live that life and we will live it in the new earth. Rev 21:1-7.

Politicians sell out the country and sell their souls to live rock star lives partying with good friends. Street kids kill each other to live rock star lives partying with good friends. We all seek this life in one way or another because our subconscious knows that Eternal God has created us to live resurrection rock star lives partying with good fiends including our best friend: Christ Jesus. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Ro 8:16. The more you understand resurrection energy the more you will see that thinking of life in the resurrection as a resurrection rock star life is a pretty good way to think about the resurrection lives which God has prepared for those who love Him. 2 Cor 2:9 & Eph 3:20. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Ps 25:14.

Rock Stars Or Losers

Christians who build on the foundation of Christ with worthy material will receive rewards and Christians who build with unworthy material will suffer loss. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Cor 3:14-15. Using 21^st Century language, taking the bible seriously forces the bible student to wrestle with the question: In the resurrection do I want to be a rock star or a loser?

Daniel, Jesus and Paul all said that victorious humans will be stars in the resurrection. Christ Jesus said that He will make victorious humans rulers and give them the morning star. Rev 2:26-30. The purpose of these writings is to help you to develop an understanding of resurrection energy that will help you to see that these are not just figures of speech. These writings can help you to understand that God gives us resurrection energy to transform us into Victorious Humans that will live the kind of rock star life in the new earth that all people dream about.

The Power OF GRAZP

(CONFIRMATION OF GRACE, RIGTHEOUSNESS AND ZOE POWER)

JEHERBERT64@GMAIL.COM

The Anointing of God gives you a divine power package to transform you into a divine powerhouse. I received this revelation from more than 25 years of studying Bible Teaching Giants.

Note: This paper explains and confirms the power of grace, righteousness and zoe power through the witness of bible passages and Bible Teaching Giants. God uses Bible Teaching Giants to produce Giant Bible Teaching which inspires millions of followers from everywhere and all walks of life in every generation. I have studied 15 Bible Teaching Giants including Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Nelson Darby, Robert Govett, Oswald Chambers, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Sperry Chafer, Watchman Nee, Vladimir Lossky, Robert B. Thieme, Jr., Witness Lee, N.T. Wright, Daniel A. Keating, Michael S. Heiser and Tim Mackie for over 25 years. I received the following revelations about the power of GRAZP and the riches of divine energy through that 25 year plus study of 15 Bible Teaching Giants.

Understanding Great Promises through the Power of GRAZP

We can understand the riches of God’s promises and blessings by understanding the riches of GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power). God’s divine power gives us all of the benefits of zoe life and godliness. 2 Pet 1:3. God has given us great and precious promises. 2 Pet 1:4. Those promises guarantee that we will be conformed to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filled with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and given a share in the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4. Those promises guarantee that we will rule cities, Luke 19:16-19, and nations, Rev 2:26-27, and kingdoms, Luke 22:29 and that we will eat at Christ’s table. Luke 22:30. Those promises guarantee that we will become the most powerful creatures in the universe, Ps 48:10, Is 41:10 & Ro 5:17-21, by becoming the righteousness of God in Christ. Is 61:1-3, Matt 25:34-37, 2 Cor 5:21 & Php 1:9-11. Those promises guarantee that we will become truly righteous and holy. Eph 4:24. These blessings are quite real, 2 Pet 1:16, and God has called us to understand how we receive them. Jer 9:23-24, Eph 1:17-19 & 1 Pet 3:15.

How do we receive the full blessings of God’s exceeding great and precious promises? 2 Pet 1:4. The Anointing of God gives a divine power package of divine power tools, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to every human who has received the anointing, Is 61:1, Luke 4:18, 2 Cor 1:21, 1 John 2:20 & 1 John 2:27, through the divine power package delivery system of the cross. 1 Cor 1:18-24, 1 Cor 2:1-5 & Gal 2:19-21. Our divine power packages transform us into divine powerhouses. God works in us to help us use our divine power packages to receive the full blessings of God’s exceeding and great promises. Php 2:12-13. We can understand the riches of the great promises which God has given us by understanding the riches of GRAZP (Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power).

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God

Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom. Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came unto Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. Mk 1:14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. Matt 24:14. The divine power package equips you to rule divine kingdoms, Luke 22:28-30 & Rev 3:21, by making you a divine powerhouse. 1 Cor 15:42-44, Php 3:21 & Col 1:11-13. This is the gospel of the kingdom.

The Bridge to Bible Teaching Giants

I began studying Bible Teaching Giants in 1998. I started studying the bible in 1991. For the first 7 years, I studied 15 bible teachers who provided a bridge to the Bible Teaching Giants: Terry Brown, James W.E. Dixon II, A. Louis Patterson, Jr., John Cherry, Tony Evans, Ed Young, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, Adrian Rogers, John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, Alistair Begg, Hank Hanegraaff, Donald Grey Barnhouse and J. Vernon McGee (the “Bridge Bible Teachers”). I spent way over 3,000 hours in 7 years studying these 14 Bridge Bible Teachers. After 7 years I could finish their sentences. I could recognize the gaps in their teaching and why they were there. Most importantly, Eternal God showed me that He would fill in those gaps for me. In February 1998, I began to seriously wonder how God would teach me the missing information. I was making a lot of money. I needed it. My 2 youngest daughters were less than 3 years old so I didn’t think I would be going to bible school. Less than a month later I recognized my first Bible Teaching Giant. I found the teaching of Robert B. Thieme, Jr. Investing 7 years of humble, obedient study in Bridge Bible Teaching prepared my mind to receive the Giant Bible Teaching of Thieme. This began a 25 year study of the 15 Bible Teaching Giants referenced in this work. Thieme opened my eyes to other Bible Teaching Giants. I was already studying C.S. Lewis. Thieme helped me realize that Thieme and Lewis belong to a very small group of Bible Teaching Giants through whom Eternal God produces teaching and teaching tools that helps thousands of bible teachers in every generation learn and teach the deepest secrets of the bible. Over 3,000 hours of studying the Bridge Bible Teachers provided me with a firm foundation to start studying the Bible Teaching Giants. You will need a firm foundation of understanding to benefit from studying Bible Teaching Giants: Or you will need someone who has mastered Giant Bible Teaching to help you. I can help you.

Four Major Theological Views

Your set of Bible Teaching Giants should cover 4 major theological views. Athanasius inspired the East Church Father Theological View. This view feeds you older bible teaching from the East. Augustine inspired the West Church Father Theological View. This view feeds you older bible teaching from the West. Robert Govett inspired the East Protestant Theological View. This view feeds you newer bible teaching from the East. John Nelson Darby inspired the West Protestant Theological View. This view feeds you newer bible teaching from the West. Your set of Bible Teaching Giants should cover these 4 major views. Ignoring any one of these 4 major theological views will blind you to deep secrets of the bible and leave you with serious questions about God’s great promises. Studying only one major view, and rejecting the other three, will blind you to most of the deep secrets of the bible and doom you to almost no understanding of the riches of God’s great promises.

The Riches of Righteousness

(Five Bible Passages For Memory Meditation)

Righteousness is the most powerful energy force in the universe. Ps 48:10, Is 41:10 & Luke 22:69. Christ Jesus makes you the most powerful creature in the universe, Ro 5:17-21 & Rev 2:26-27, by making you the righteousness of God. Is 61:1-3, Matt 25:34-37, 2 Cor 5:21 & Php 1:9-11. Fully developed righteousness enables you to fill the new earth with peace and prosperity. Is 54:11-17, Jer 9:24 & Rev 2:21. Meditating on and memorizing the five bible passages below helps to reveal the riches and glory of righteousness. 2 Cor 8:9, Php 1:11 & Php 4:19.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor 5:21.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Ro 8:2-4.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Ro 5:17.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Php 1:9-11.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:5-8.

GRAZP: The Gift Of God

(Seven Biblical Principles Everyone Should Know)

The seven biblical principles below work together to provide a firm foundation for learning the value and importance of GRAZP: grace, righteousness and zoe power,

God wants you to explain to people how humans become equipped to rule the universe with Christ and eat at His table, Luke 22:28-30 & Rev 3:21, by becoming the exact same kind of powerful, new human which Christ Jesus became. Ro 8:29, Gal 2:20-21, Eph 3:19, Eph 3:20 & 1 John 2:27.
God gives a divine power package of divine power tools, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to every human who has received the anointing, Is 61:1, Luke 4:18, 2 Cor 1:21, 1 John 2:20 & 1 John 2:27, through the divine power package delivery system of the cross. 1 Cor 1:18-24, 1 Cor 2:1-5 & Gal 2:19-21.
God calls every human who has received the divine power package of the Holy Spirit, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to use the divine energy forces of faith, grace, righteousness and zoe to become righteous rulers of the universe through Christ Jesus. Ro 5:1-2, Ro 5:17-21, Ro 6:14, Ro 6:17-23 & 2 Cor 5:21.
Satan gives the 2 beasts satanic power packages to energize them to perform signs and lying wonders that deceive all who have no righteousness into receiving the mark of the beast and worshipping Satan. 2 Thess 2:9-12, Rev 13:1-4, Rev 13:7-9, Rev 13:11-14 & Rev 19:20.
All who did not seek first righteousness by obsessively loving the truth will be condemned because their satisfaction with human righteousness deceived them into dying without divine righteousness. Matt 6:33, Acts 24:15 & 2 Thess 2:9-12.
God will severely judge all who do not use the divine power package to become righteous humans who love the poor by helping them and who hate evil by grieving it. Ps 82:1-4, Ezek 9:4-7 & Ezek 16:49-50.
You can be sure that you have used the divine power tools of your divine power package to fulfill the righteousness of the law by becoming the righteousness of God if you love the poor, hate evil and are obsessed with the truth. Jer 23:6, Ro 8:1-4, 1 Cor 1:30-31, 2 Cor 5:21 & Col 3:4.

Walking In Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power

(All Power Is In Your GRAZP. Matt 28:18.)

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in zoe by one, Jesus Christ. Ro 5:17. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal zoe by Jesus Christ our Lord. Ro 5: 21.

God calls every human who has received the divine energy forces of the Holy Spirit, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to use the divine energy forces of faith, grace, righteousness and zoe to become rulers of the universe through Christ Jesus. Ro 5:1-2 & Ro 5:17-21. Grace, righteousness and zoe are the creative divine energies of the divine thoughts that build the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 2:16; See Also Ro 12:2 & Eph 4:23. Grace makes humans dominant, Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 20:4-6, by mixing the zoe of humans with the righteousness of God by faith, Ro 1:16-17, Ro 5:21, 2 Cor 5:21, Gal 2:21 & Gal 5:4-5, so that humans receive the power, Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:8, to rule over sin and death, Ro 6:14, Ro 8:1-4 & Ro 8:10, unto eternal life. Ro 6:23. The definition of spiritual work is the spiritual mind using righteousness and zoe by grace to fulfill the righteousness of the law by ruling the kingdom of God. Is 32:1, Ro 7:25, Ro 8:4-6, Ro 8:10, Eph 2:8-10 & Heb 11:16. Understanding these revelations unlocks the power of God’s gifts to humans of righteousness, Ro 5:17, eternal zoe, Ro 6:23, and grace. Eph 2:8.

GRAZPING THE RICHES OF DIVINE ENERGY

(THE RICHES OF GRACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ZOE POWER)

God gives a divine power package of divine power tools, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to every human who has received the anointing. Is 61:1, Luke 4:18, 2 Cor 1:21, 1 John 2:20 & 1 John 2:27. The divine power tools of the divine power package are both divine wisdom tools and divine energy forces. 1 Cor 1:24. The divine energy forces in the divine power tools give humans all the power they need, Php 4:13 & 2 Pet 1:3-4, to become conformed to the image of Christ and to become filled with all the fullness of God. Ro 8:29 & Eph 3:19. The divine power tools of the divine power package include faith, grace, zoe, righteousness, truth, humility and love. Ignorance and denial of the divine energy in these divine power tools, Eph 4:18 & 2 Tim 3:5, cripples the ability of the church to teach disciples how to use that divine energy to become renewed in righteousness and true holiness. Matt 28:18-20 & Eph 4:22-24. The following descriptions of the functions of certain divine power tools prove that the divine power package provides all the divine energy needed to conform humans into the image of Christ, fill them with all the fullness of God and renew them in righteousness and true holiness.

Resurrection Energy and the Gospel of the Kingdom

Resurrection energy, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, spiritually transforms victorious humans into divine powerhouses. 1 Cor 15:42-44, 2 Cor 3:16 & Php 3:21. Divinely powerful, victorious humans enjoy the victory rewards of being filled with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, dwelling with God in the new Jerusalem, Rev 21:1-3, and receiving the new earth for a possession in the kingdom of God. Matt 5:5, Rev 2:26-26, Rev 3:21 & Rev 21:7. This is a good 21^st century expression of the gospel of the kingdom of God. Mk 1:14 & Matt 24:14.

Duty to Teach Resurrection Energy

(Resurrection Energy and Rebellion Energy)

Eternal God has called bible teachers to give bible students biblical wisdom, James 1:5 & 2 Pet 3:15, by teaching them how spiritual understanding and spiritual power work. 1 Cor 2:4-7. The bible teacher’s most important job is to show people the value of biblical wisdom by showing them the value of spiritual understanding and spiritual power. 1 Cor 1:24 & 1 Cor 2:4-7. Spiritual understanding and spiritual power, Col 1:9-12, are the two most valuable riches in the treasure of biblical wisdom. Col 2:3. Spiritual wisdom reveals and builds spiritual power, Eph 1:17-19, and spiritual power reveals and builds spiritual wisdom. Eph 3:16-19. Another name for spiritual power is resurrection energy. Php 3:10. (Grace, righteousness and zoe are key components of resurrection energy. Ro 5:17-21.)

Two Competing Energy Sources – Resurrection and Rebellion

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor 2:4-5. There are only 2 sources of human energy: the Spirit which is of God and the spirit of the world. 1 Cor 2:12. Humans experience only 2 kinds of human energy: resurrection energy and rebellion energy. Gal 5:17. Rebellion energy energizes us through the flesh because we are the children of disobedience. Eph 2:2. Resurrection energy energizes the children of God through the Spirit. Eph 3:20, Col 1:29 & 1 Thess 2:13. We receive resurrection energy when we receive resurrection power, Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:8, by being baptized into the body of Christ. Ro 6:3 & Gal 3:27. Praying fervent, effectual energized prayers activates resurrection energy. Acts 4:31 & James 5:16. But rebellion energy continues to energize our flesh and tries to fight our resurrection energy. Ro 7:23.

Praying in the Spirit with understanding activates our resurrection energy to defeat our rebellion energy. Luke 22:31-32, Acts 6:4 & 1 Cor 14:15. Failing to activate resurrection energy by praying in the Spirit with understanding allows our rebellion energy to block our blessings by crippling our faith and causing us to make mistakes all the time. Matt 22:29 & 1 Tim 3:5. Activating our resurrection energy through energized prayer defeats our rebellion energy, 1 Cor 9:25-27, 2 Cor 10:3-5 & 2 Tim 2:3-5, by deactivating our rebellion energy, Gal 5:16, and makes us the most powerful creatures in the universe. Ro 8:35-37 & Php 4:13. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. 1 Cor 2:6-7. Maximizing resurrection energy crowns us as glorious, righteous divine powerhouses, 1 Cor 9:25, 2 Tim 4:8 & 1 Pet 5:4, by conforming us to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filling us with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and making us sharers of the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4.

Three Giant Bible Teacher Witnesses

God uses Bible Teaching Giants to produce Giant Bible Teaching which inspires millions of followers from everywhere and all walks of life in every generation. God confirmed the following revelation given to me through the witness of three Bible Teaching Giants: C.S. Lewis, Robert B. Thieme, Jr. and Witness Lee.

God gave me this revelation in these words: God wants you to explain to people how humans become equipped to rule the universe with Christ Jesus, Luke 22:28-30 & Rev 3:21, by becoming the exact same kind of new human which Christ Jesus became. Ro 8:29, Gal 2:20-21, 1 John 2:27, Eph 3:20 & Eph 3:19.

God gave C.S. Lewis the same revelation more than 70 years ago in these words: He said (in the bible) that we were “gods” and He is going to make good His words …. He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine, a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale) His own boundless power and delight and goodness. Mere Christianity, Book IV, Chapter 9, C.S. Lewis.

God gave Robert B. Thieme, Jr. the same revelation more than 40 years ago in these words: The doctrine of sanctification teaches that God’s purpose is to make each Church Age believer like the humanity of Christ. Each is “conformed to the image of His Son,” the glorified Lord Jesus Christ (Ro 8:29) …. The mind of Christ, or Bible doctrine in the soul, is the material the Spirit uses to manufacture the virtues of Christ in our lives (Ro 13:14) …This explains the increasing effect of divine dynamics within a Christian’s life. The Divine Outline of History, Chapter 6, Robert B. Thieme Jr.

God gave Witness Lee the same revelation more than 25 years ago in these words: The high peak of the divine revelation can be summarized in the following statement: God became man that man might become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. Deification by Participation in God’s Divinity, Ed Marks. God’s purpose is to have on earth a corporate man to express Him with His image and to represent Him with His authority so that he might exercise dominion to deal with God’s enemy and to bring in the kingdom of God. Fulfilling God’s Purpose by Witness Lee.

Inheritance of the Victory Rewards

Write down the revelation and make it plain on tables so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; It speaks of the end and will not prove false. Thought it linger wait for it; it will certainly come and not delay. Habakkuk 2:2-3.

The Giant Bible Teaching of the four major theological views works together to explain the Inheritance of the Victory Rewards given to Victorious Humans. Eternal God has a final revelation for man. Habakkuk 2:2-3 alludes to this. In that final revelation Eternal God says to Victorious Humans: I will fill you with the fullness of God; Eph 3:19, dwell with you in the new Jerusalem, Rev 21:1-3, and give you the new earth for a possession. Matt 5:5, Rev 2:26-27, Rev 3:21 & Rev 21:7. This is Eternal God’s greatest revelation to Victorious Humans. These are the Victory Inheritance Rewards. My biggest reason for writing this work is to help as many people as possible to receive the Victory Rewards Revelation through the study of Bible Teaching Giants. The bible says that the revelation in Habakkuk awaits an appointed time, speaks of the end and will not prove false. The Victory Rewards Revelation fits this description. The passage instructs that a revelation must be written down and made plain in order for heralds to proclaim it. The work of the Bible Teaching Giants made the Victory Rewards Revelation plain by calendar year 2023. The fact that the Victory Rewards Revelation has recently become very clear for men to see suggests that the appointed time for the revelation is now. The Victory Reward Revelation describes the only rewards which all Victorious Humans receive. Receiving the fullness of God, dwelling with God in the new Jerusalem and possessing the new earth are the only Victory Rewards which all Victorious Humans receive. The bible begins with Eternal God making man in His image, giving man dominion over the earth and fellowshipping with man in paradise. Gen 1:26-28 & Gen 3:8. The three blessings of the Victory Rewards are the gifts that Eternal God gave to the first Adam. They are also the only three blessings which Eternal God gives to all members of the second Adam. Receiving the fullness of God, dwelling with Eternal God in the new Jerusalem, and inheriting the new earth are the three great Victory Rewards which Eternal God gives to all Victorious Humans. Eph 3:19, Rev 21:1-3 & Rev 21:7 (See also Matt 5:5). Some Victorious Humans receive virtually no other blessings in this life because no other blessings matter by comparison. Luke 16:25, 2 Cor 4:17 & Php 3:7-10. Receiving and enjoying the Victory Rewards is the climax and resolution of the bible.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. Heb 8:1.

Regarding Eternal God’s great promises and Eternal God’s plan for humans, here is the sum of the matter: Eternal God transforms Victorious Humans, Ro 12:1-2, 2 Cor 3:18 & Php 3:21, into Divine Powerhouses, Ro 8:29, 1 Cor 15:42-44, Php 3:21, Col 1:11-13 &2 Pet 1:4, to equip them to enjoy and manage the Victory Rewards of being filled with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, dwelling with Eternal God in the new Jerusalem (which is heaven on earth), Rev 21:1-3, and sharing ownership and dominion of the new earth with Christ Jesus. Ps 2:8, Ps 25:13-14, Matt 5:5 & Rev 21:7. Christ Jesus became poor so that through His poverty of becoming a man you could become rich though Him saving you and transforming you into a human Divine Powerhouse. 2 Cor 8:9. Eternal God saved you to transform you into a Divine Powerhouse to equip you to enjoy and manage the Victory Rewards. Matt 19:28-30, Col 1:12-14 & 1 Pet 2:9. This is the sum of the matter.

Walking In Grace, Righteousness And Zoe Power

(All Power Is In Your GRAZP. Matt 28:18.)

JEHERBERT64@GMAIL.COM

Preface

God calls every human who has received the divine energy forces of the Holy Spirit, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8 & Eph 3:20, to use the divine energy forces of faith, grace, righteousness and zoe to become rulers of the universe through Christ Jesus. Ro 5:1-2 & Ro 5:17-21. Grace, righteousness and zoe are the building blocks of the divine thoughts that build the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 2:16; See Also Ro 12:2 & Eph 4:23. Grace makes humans dominant, Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 20:4-6, by mixing the zoe of humans with the righteousness of God by faith, Ro 1:16-17, Ro 5:21, 2 Cor 5:21, Gal 2:21 & Gal 5:4-5, so that humans receive the power, Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:8, to rule over sin and death, Ro 6:14, Ro 8:1-4 & Ro 8:10, unto eternal life. Ro 6:23. The definition of spiritual work is the spiritual mind using righteousness and zoe by grace to fulfill the righteousness of the law by ruling the kingdom of God. Is 32:1, Ro 7:25, Ro 8:4-6, Ro 8:10, Eph 2:8-10 & Heb 11:16. Understanding these revelations unlocks the power of God’s gifts to humans of righteousness, Ro 5:17, eternal zoe, Ro 6:23, and grace. Eph 2:8.

Bible Teaching Giants and Justification by Faith

The just shall live by faith. Ro 1:17, Gal 3:11 & Heb 10:38. Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Ro 5:1-2.

God has used a small number of bible teachers to produce bible teaching which inspires millions of followers from everywhere and all walks of life in every generation. I call these bible teachers Bible Teaching Giants. A 25 year plus study of 14 Bible Teaching Giants showed me the following understanding of justification by faith: Justification by faith, Ro 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38, infuses humans by grace with the divine energy forces, Gal 2:20-21 & Gal 5:4-5, that conform us to the image of Christ by filling us with the fullness of God. Ro 8:29 & Eph 3:19. Justification by faith gives us access to the divine energy force of grace which makes us rulers of creation by mixing in us the divine energy forces of zoe and righteousness. Ro 1:16-17, Ro 5:1-2, Ro 5:17-21 & Ro 8:19-21.

The bible says that the just shall live by faith because faith is the only energy force that accesses the energy forces required to produce life. It is impossible to please God without faith, Ro 8:8 & Heb 11:6, because faith is the only energy force that accesses the energy forces required to produce life. Ro 8:6 & Ro 8:10. Justification by faith is not being considered righteous by God when you really are not. Justification by faith is receiving by grace through faith the divine energy forces which produce life.

(And now abideth faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13. Faith, hope and love are divine practices. Grace, righteousness and zoe are divine energy forces. Practicing faith, hope and love unleashes the tremendous power of the divine energy forces of grace, righteousness and zoe. My prayer is that Eternal God will use bible teachers to produce bible teaching which explains how practicing the great divine practices of faith, hope and love fully unleashes the power of the divine energy forces of grace, righteousness and zoe.)

The Bridge to Bible Teaching Giants

I began studying Bible Teaching Giants in 1998. I started studying the bible in 1991. For the first 7 years, I studied 14 bible teachers who provided a bridge to the Bible Teaching Giants: Terry Brown, James W.E. Dixon II, A. Louis Patterson, Jr., John Cherry, Tony Evans, Ed Young, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, Adrian Rogers, John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, Hank Hanegraaff, Donald Grey Barnhouse and J. Vernon McGee (the “Bridge Bible Teachers”). I spent way over 3,000 hours in 7 years studying these 14 Bridge Bible Teachers. After 7 years I could finish their sentences. I could recognize the gaps in their teaching and why they were there. Most importantly, Eternal God showed me that He would fill in those gaps for me. In February 1998, I began to seriously wonder how God would teach me the missing information. I was making a lot of money. I needed it. My 2 youngest daughters were less than 3 years old so I didn’t think I would be going to bible school. Less than a month later I recognized my first Bible Teaching Giant. I found the teaching of Robert B. Thieme, Jr. Investing 7 years of humble, obedient study in Bridge Bible Teaching prepared my mind to receive the Giant Bible Teaching of Thieme. This began a 25 year study of the 14 Bible Teaching Giants profiled in this work. Thieme opened my eyes to other Bible Teaching Giants. I was already studying C.S. Lewis. Thieme helped me realize that Thieme and Lewis belong to a very small group of Bible Teaching Giants through whom Eternal God produces teaching and teaching tools that helps thousands of bible teachers in every generation learn and teach the deepest secrets of the bible. Over 3,000 hours of studying the Bridge Bible Teachers provided me with a firm foundation to start studying the Bible Teaching Giants. You will need a firm foundation of understanding to benefit from studying Bible Teaching Giants: Or you will need someone who has mastered Giant Bible Teaching to help you. I can help you.

Four Great Theological Views

Your set of Bible Teaching Giants should cover 4 major theological views. Athanasius inspired the East Church Father Theological View. This view feeds you older bible teaching from the East. Augustine inspired the West Church Father Theological View. This view feeds you older bible teaching from the West. Robert Govett inspired the East Protestant Theological View. This view feeds you newer bible teaching from the East. John Nelson Darby inspired the West Protestant Theological View. This view feeds you newer bible teaching from the West. Your set of Bible Teaching Giants should cover these 4 major views. Ignoring any one of these 4 major theological views will blind you to deep secrets of the power of grace, righteousness and zoe. Studying only one major view, and rejecting the other three, will doom you to almost complete ignorance of the power of grace righteousness and zoe.

How I Used the Four Great Theological Views

Eternal God provided Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to work together. The four great theological views work together in a similar way. Eternal God showed me the 4 great theological views to give me a firm understanding and hope of the richness of my kingdom inheritance. Matt 25:34 & Rev 22:12. I study Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to see how Christ Jesus walked on earth. I don’t study one of them. I study all of them. I studied the 4 great theological views through the 14 Bible Teaching Giants to see how Christ walks with me today. 1 John 1:7. I didn’t study one of them. I studied all the 4 major theological views through 14 Bible Teaching Giants: Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Nelson Darby, Robert Govett, Oswald Chambers, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Sperry Chafer, Watchman Nee, Robert B. Thieme, Jr., Witness Lee, N.T. Wright, Daniel A. Keating, Michael S. Heiser and Tim Mackie. Studying the 4 major theological views through these Bible Teaching Giants for 25 years equipped me to describe the end of this present age and life in the age to come in brief, very powerful terms. Matt 12:32 & Mark 10:30. This assures me that I will receive the Victory Inheritance at the appearing Christ Jesus. 2 Tim 4:8.

Parousia Summary Proof

The following summary of the return of Christ Jesus proves that this teaching is Giant Bible Teaching by describing the return of Christ more effectively than any teaching published prior to the 21^st Century. Parousia is a technical Greek word which refers to a king returning from an absence to his kingdom to consummate his rule as king. The bible uses the word Parousia to refer to the return of Christ Jesus because Christ Jesus will return to consummate the kingdom of God which Christ launched with His resurrection. Matt 28:18-20 & Acts 1:4-11. Christ Jesus will return and usher all victorious humans into their final rest when the 6^th seal is opened and the last sabbath trumpet sounds. Lev 23:24, 1 Cor 15:52, 1 Thess 4:16-17 & Rev 6:12-17. The apostle Paul calls this the last trump, 1 Cor 15:52, because when this trump sounds the people of God will all come together in the true holy convocation. Lev 23:24 & Gal 4:16-17. Christ Jesus will then consummate the kingdom of God by destroying the kingdoms of the world with the seven trumpets and the seven vials. Rev 8:6 & Rev 15:7. Victorious Humans will then rule with Christ in the first resurrection while other humans who suffered loss become Victorious Humans by being saved by fire in the first resurrection. 1 Cor 3:12-15, 2 Cor 5:5 & Rev 20:4-6. Finally, all Victorious Humans will rule forever while all fleshly humans are forced to worship Christ Jesus by coming to eat the leaves of the tree of life every month. Is 66:23, Php 2:9-11 & Rev 22:2. The Parousia of Christ Jesus involves Christ Jesus returning and consummating the kingdom of God by destroying the false Parousia of the Wicked with the brightness of the Lord’s Parousia and giving the kingdoms of the world to Victorious Humans. Dan 7:22-27, 2 Thess 2:8 & Rev 11:15. This summary describes the return of Christ more effectively than any teaching published prior to the 21^st Century.

Parables, Secrets and Hidden Wisdom

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant. Ps 25:14. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old. Ps 78:2. And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why spakest unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matt 13:10-11.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory; Which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Cor 2:7-8.

This work helps you to understand the book of Revelation by explaining the deepest secrets of the bible. The details are complicated. That is part of how Eternal God hides His secrets from enemies and the unfaithful. God works through the supernatural using miracles and through the natural using nature. Sometimes God rains bread down from heaven, but He usually grows it out of the ground. (Both are miracles, but you get the point). Eternal God also uses the natural and the supernatural to hide His secrets. God hides the clearly visible by blinding the mind and hardening the heart. Mark 6:52, 2 Cor 4:4 & Eph 4:18. Eternal God also hides secrets naturally by requiring obedience, humility and a lot of study to learn them. Biblical revelations have multiple parts. God usually puts those parts in several parts of the bible. Receiving a biblical revelation may require you to put together information from the gospels, the epistles, and the book of Revelation. Eternal God also often uses several Bible Teaching Giants from different major theological views to teach parts of a biblical revelation which fit together to make the whole. You may need to study 2 Bible Teaching Giants from the East Church Father Theological View and 3 Bible Teaching Giants from the West Church Father Theological View to receive a revelation. This paper presents teaching on how Christ returns, ends the world, and starts the new age. The scope of this teaching explains details of the Parousia, the Resurrection of the Dead, the Consummation of the End and the Victory Inheritance. Receiving the biblical revelations which I use in this work to describe God’s plan for humans and the Victory Inheritance required me to humbly study Bible Teaching Giants from all four of the major theological views.

Root Bible Concepts and Doctrines

Root Bible Concepts are phrases which the bible uses which reveal key biblical concepts. The Parousia, the Consummation of the End and the Resurrection of the Dead are all phrases that the bible uses to communicate key biblical concepts. Root Bible Doctrines are subjects which communicate key concepts described by words that do not appear in the bible. The Trinity and the Incarnation are examples of such Root Bible Doctrines. I also call the Bible Teaching Giants the Root System Bible Teachers. They are Bible Teaching Giants because they continue to influence millions of bible students. They are Root System Bible Teachers because some of their teachings connect to feed major branches of Christ’s vine, John 15:5, much like the root system of a tree feeds the branches of the tree. I call these connected teachings of the Bible Teaching Giants by the terms Root Bible Concepts and Root Bible Doctrines. This section describes 3 Root Bible Doctrines. The three Doctrines together make up the three blessings of the Victory Inheritance. At least 2 Root System Bible Teachers emphasized each Root Bible Doctrine. Each Root Bible Doctrine also works with other major teachings of the 14 Root System Bible Teachers to help millions of bible students learn the deepest secrets and main points of the bible.

The first Root Bible Doctrine is that a main purpose of resurrection is to reunite heaven and earth. N.T. Wright, C.S Lewis, Tim Mackie and the Orthodox Church all taught that reuniting heaven and earth is as important to resurrection as reuniting humans with Eternal God. Resurrection is about making humans right by reuniting Eternal God and humans. Resurrection is also about making creation right by reuniting heaven and earth. You really cannot separate one objective from the other in the bible story. N.T. Wright goes so far as to say resurrection makes humans right so that humans can share in the job of making creation right. Resurrection reunites heaven and earth to make a place for the Godhead to dwell with Victorious Humans. Rev 21:7. Wright has dedicated the last part of his theological career to emphasizing the revelation that resurrection is about making creation right by reuniting heaven and earth. Studying Wright’s teaching on the subject enabled me to see how much C.S. Lewis emphasized the same concept and enabled me to see the power and purpose of Lewis’ teaching on the subject.

Wright stated that Lewis probably planted the seed that led to Wright’s work in this space. C.S. Lewis greatly admired the Orthodox Church. Lewis almost certainly based his view of resurrection renewing the earth on Orthodox Church teaching. The Orthodox Church fed Lewis in this area and Lewis fed Wright so that the three have produced teaching that emphasizes the Root Bible Doctrine of resurrection reuniting heaven and earth. This Root Bible Doctrine teaching from Wright, through Lewis and the Orthodox Church, feeds millions of 21^st Century bible students. The teaching feeds millions of bible students the spiritual tree food that resurrection unites heaven and earth to provide a home for the Godhead and Victorious Humans to dwell in together.

The second Root Bible Doctrine is that Christ Jesus takes the earth from the rulers of the darkness of this world, Eph 6:12 & Col 2:15, and gives the earth to Victorious Humans for a possession. Ps 37:9, Ps 37:11, Ps 37:22, Matt 5:5 & Matt 25:34. Christ Jesus makes Victorious Humans equal sharers of Christ’s inheritance of the earth. Ps 2:8 & Ro 8:17. Michael S. Heiser devoted most of his theological career to teaching the revelation that the mission of Christ Jesus included recovering the nations from rebellious spiritual rulers. Heiser used the Divine Council view as a framework for this teaching. Robert B. Thieme, Jr. also produced considerable teaching in this space. Thieme referred to his teaching as the Angelic Conflict. Theime was the Bible Teaching Giant who opened my spiritual understanding. I had been studying Thieme for 20 years when I found Heiser. Theime’s teaching on the Angelic Conflict made it easy for me to embrace Heiser’s teaching on the Divine Council and Christ recovering the nations from rebellious spiritual rulers. Watchman Nee and Witness Lee also taught on the subject of Christ Jesus using Victorious Humans to recover the earth. The teaching of Thieme and Lee in this area are a small part of their total teachings. The emphasis which Heiser placed on the subject helped me to more fully see the role that humans possessing the earth plays in God’s plan for humans. Combining teaching on Christ Jesus taking nations from rebellious spiritual rulers with Wright’s teaching on the importance of reuniting heaven and earth to create a home for Victorious Humans led me to see the second Root Bible Doctrine that Eternal God gives the new earth to Victorious Humans for a possession.

The third Root Bible Doctrine most helped me to receive the revelation of the Victory Inheritance. That doctrine is that Eternal God fills Victorious Humans with the fullness of God. Eternal God conforms us into the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, fills us with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and makes us partakers of the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4. Lewis Sperry Chafer, C.S. Lewis, and Witness Lee all emphasized that being filled with the fullness of God is the most important part of being a Victorious Human:

Lewis Sperry Chafer taught: It is the supreme purpose of the indwelling Spirit to reproduce Christlikeness in the believer. Volume IV, Chapter X, The Present Grace Economy.

C.S. Lewis taught: Every Christian is to become a little Christ. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else. Mere Christianity, Book 4, Chapter 4.

Witness Lee taught: This is the high peak of the divine revelation – the revelation that in Christ God has become man in order that man might become [filled with the fullness of God] (Eph 3:19). At this juncture we join Witness Lee in referring to this revelation as the diamond in the “box” of the bible. The High Peak of the Divine Revelation and the Consummation of the Divine Economy as Revealed in the Gospel of John, Page 4. Ron Kangas (Watchman Nee and Witness Lee).

Daniel A. Keating wrote a book called Deification and Grace which shows that every Bible Teaching Giant of the first 700 years of the church taught that being filled with the fullness of God is the whole point of salvation. The Orthodox Church in their own terminology teaches that being filled with the fullness of God is the true purpose of human life. This is the third Root Bible Doctrine. The three Root Bible Doctrines fit together to make up the blessings of the Victory Inheritance which Eternal God gives to all Victorious Humans. The Victory Inheritance includes Eternal God filling Victorious Humans with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, the Godhead dwelling with Victorious Humans in the new Jerusalem, Rev 21:3-7, and Eternal God giving Victorious Humans the earth for a possession. Ps 37:9, Ps 37:11, Ps 37:22, Matt 5:5 & Matt 25:34. Receiving and enjoying the Victory Inheritance is the climax and resolution of the bible. If you do not know about the Victory Inheritance in some form, then you have missed the climax and resolution of the bible story.

In a murder mystery, the climax is where the murderer is caught and the resolution is that the murderer is punished. In a kidnapping story, the climax is where the hostages are rescued and the resolution is where the hostages are reunited with their loved ones. In a love story, the climax is where the couple fall in love and the resolution is them being together. In the bible, the climax is where Christ Jesus rescues creation and humans from darkness and the resolution is where Christ dwells with humans in the light of the new creation. The climax of the bible is where Christ Jesus solves the problems that are keeping Victorious Humans from the Victory Inheritance. The resolution of the bible is where Victorious Humans receive the reward of the Victory Inheritance. Again, if you don’t know about these concepts in some form you have missed the climax and resolution of the bible story. You have missed the whole point. Also, you cannot be sure you will receive the Victory Inheritance.

The Final Message Mechanisms

The next 2 sections of this paper describe the climax and resolution of the bible story. The first section is going to describe the climax using terms called the Parousia, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Consummation of the End. The section after that is going to describe the resolution in terms of the Victory Inheritance blessings of being filled with the fullness of God, dwelling with Christ in the new Jerusalem and receiving the new earth for a possession.

The message of the book of Revelation (the “Final Message”) has three key concepts: The Parousia, the Consummation of the End, and the Resurrection of the Dead. If the Final Message is a house, these three concepts are the water, gas and electricity (the “Final Message Mechanisms”). If you understand the Final Message Mechanisms, your Final Message understanding of the book of Revelation will be a functional house. Your Final Message understanding may not have cabinets and your floors may be unfinished. But your understanding will be a functional house which will provide you theological safety and shelter. Trying to understand the book of Revelation without understanding the Parousia, the Consummation of the End and the Resurrection of the Dead is like living in a theological house with no water, gas or electricity. It is extremely uncomfortable. It is also dangerous.

The Parousia describes Christ Jesus appearing and returning to earth as king with His supporters. The Consummation of the End describes how Christ Jesus ends this present age by destroying and judging the supernatural kingdoms of the world. Christ Jesus begins the process of destroying the supernatural kingdoms of the world as soon as the Parousia begins. Matt 24:29-31, 2 Thess 1:7-11 & 2 Thess 2:8-9. The Resurrection of the Dead describes the process of Christ Jesus raising every person from the dead, assigning everyone their place in the age to come, Luke 12:42-47, and how Christ equips Victorious Humans to reflect God’s glory and rule God’s kingdom in the age to come. Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 3:21. Virtually every passage in the book of Revelation fits into the category of one of the Final Message Mechanisms of the Parousia, the Consummation of this End or the Resurrection of the Dead. Chapters 1, 6, 12 and 19 of the book of Revelation fit in the category of the Parousia. Every eye sees Him. Rev 1:7. They hide from His face. Rev 6:16. A great sign appears. Rev 12:1. The heavens open and show Christ on a white horse. Rev 19:11.

Chapters 2 and 3, then chapter 7, then chapter 15 and finally chapter 20 all fit in the category of the Resurrection of the Dead equipping Victorious Humans to rule with Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus gives Victorious Humans power over the nations. Rev 2:26-27. The servants of God are sealed. Rev 7:3. We see those who had gotten the victory over the beast. Rev 15:2. The martyrs come to life and sit on thrones. Rev 20:4. Chapters 4 and 5, then Chapters 8 and 9, then chapter 11, then chapters 16 through 18 and finally chapters 21 and 22 all fit in the category of the Consummation of the End and the establishing of Christ’s reign. Chapters 4 and 5 describe Eternal God giving Christ authority to rule earth. Rev 5:5. Chapters 8 and 9 describe the trumpet judgments. The kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord in chapter 11. Rev 11:17. The whore is destroyed and Babylon falls. Rev 17:16 & Rev 18:2. Eternal God sits on the throne, Rev 21:5, and God’s servants reign forever. Rev 22:5. You can understand the book of Revelation by keeping these categories in mind as you study the book.

The three categories reveal the meaning of other debated bible passages. The passage about Christ descending from heaven with a shout and Victorious Humans meeting him in the air describes the True Parousia. 1 Thess 4:15-17. Christ then continues down to earth with Victorious Humans to consummate the end and sit on His glorious throne. Matt 25:31. Christ Jesus does not take Victorious Humans away to a secret celebration. He continues down to earth with them and sits on His throne of glory. Even at the incarnation, Eternal God made sure that Christ had a Parousia that proclaimed Christ Jesus king. The angels proclaimed His incarnation. Luke 2:13-14. The shepherds joined the procession and praised Him. Luke 2:15-18. Herod, the king who opposed Christ Jesus, was defeated. Matt 2:10-12. The context of the Parousia shows the more complete meaning of many passages.

The context of the Consummation of the End also adds meaning to many passages. The disciples asked Christ Jesus to explain the Consummation of End of this age. Matt 24:3 & Mark 13:4. Understanding that the Consummation of the End is a biblical phrase which refers to Christ ending this age by destroying all supernatural kingdoms and then sitting on His throne confirms that chapter 24 of Matthew and chapter 13 of Mark describe the end of this age and not just the destruction of the first century Jewish Temple. The bible expressly states that the Consummation of the End involves Christ separating the wicked from the righteous in Matt 13:39 and Matthew 13:49. Christ Jesus uses the term the Consummation of the End when He promises to be with Victorious Humans everywhere and at all times. Matt 28:18-20. The Parousia and the Consummation of the End work together to reveal that Victorious Humans will receive the gift of glorifying Christ by watching Christ Jesus as He consummates the age by destroying the supernatural powers of the world. 2 Thess 1:7-12 & Rev 19:14.

Blessings of the Victory Inheritance

The three Final Message Mechanisms work together to explain each other, the final message of the bible and the Victory Inheritance. Eternal God has a final revelation for man. Habukkuk 2:2-3 alludes to this. In that final revelation Eternal God says to Victorious Humans: I will fill you with the fullness of God; Eph 3:19, dwell with you in the new Jerusalem, Rev 21:1-3, and give you the new earth for a possession. Matt 5:5, Rev 2:26-27, Rev 3:21 & Rev 21:7. This is Eternal God’s greatest revelation to Victorious Humans. These are the Victory Inheritance blessings. My biggest reason for writing this work is to help as many people as possible to receive the Victory Inheritance Revelation through the study of Bible Teaching Giants. The bible says that the revelation in Habakkuk awaits an appointed time, speaks of the end and will not prove false. The Victory Inheritance Revelation fits this description. The passage instructs that a revelation must be written down and made plain in order for heralds to proclaim it. The work of the Bible Teaching Giants has made the Victory Inheritance Revelation plain in 2023. The fact that the Victory Inheritance Revelation has recently become very clear for men to see suggests that the appointed time for the revelation is now. The Victory Inheritance Revelation describes the only blessings which all Victorious Humans receive. Receiving the fullness of God, dwelling with God in the new Jerusalem and possessing the new earth are the only blessings which all Victorious Humans receive. The bible begins with Eternal God making man in His image, giving man dominion over the earth and fellowshipping with man in paradise. Gen 1:26-28 & Gen 3:8. The three blessings of the Victory Inheritance are the only gifts that Eternal God gave to the first Adam. They are also the only three blessings which Eternal God gives to all members of the second Adam. Receiving the fullness of God, dwelling with Eternal God in the new Jerusalem, and inheriting the new earth are The Three Great Blessings and The Three Universal Blessings which Eternal God gives to all Victorious Humans. Eph 3:19, Rev 21:1-3 & Rev 21:7 (See also Matt 5:5). Some Victorious Humans receive virtually no other blessings in mortal life because no other blessings matter by comparison. Luke 16:25, 2 Cor 4:17 & Php 3:7-10. Receiving and enjoying the Victory Inheritance is the climax and resolution of the bible.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. Heb 8:1.

Regarding the book of Revelation and Eternal God’s plan for humans, here is the sum of the matter: Eternal God transforms Victorious Humans, Ro 12:1-2, 2 Cor 3:18 & Php 3:21, into human Elohim, Ro 8:29 & 2 Pet 1:4, to equip them to enjoy and manage the Victory Inheritance of being filled with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, dwelling with Eternal God in the new Jerusalem (which is heaven on earth), Rev 21:1-3, and sharing ownership and dominion of the new earth with Christ Jesus. Ps 2:8, Ps 25:13-14, Matt 5:5 & Rev 21:7. Christ Jesus became poor so that through His poverty of becoming a man you could become rich though Him saving you and making you a human Elohim. 2 Cor 8:9. Eternal God saved you to transform you into a human Elohim to equip you to enjoy and manage the Victory Inheritance. Matt 19:28-30, Col 1:12-14 & 1 Pet 2:9. This is the sum of the matter.

The Duty to Teach Resurrection Energy

A Brief Explanation of Christianity

Christianity is the Holy Spirit fulfilling the promise of God the Father by giving resurrection energy to all humans who are baptized into the body of Christ. Luke 24:29, Acts 1:8 & Ro 6:3-6. Eternal God gives humans resurrection energy to rule their personal kingdoms in this age, Matt 25:19-21, Luke 17:21 & Ro 8:35-37, and to rule the kingdom of God with Christ in the age to come. Matt 19:28-30 & Rev 20:4-6. Eternal God makes us successful rulers of our personal kingdoms through a spiritual growth process that equips us to rule with Christ in the resurrection by conforming us to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filling us with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and making us partakers of the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4.

Two Competing Energy Sources – Resurrection and Rebellion

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor 2:4-5. There are only 2 sources of human energy: the Spirit which is of God and the spirit of the world. 2 Cor 2:12. Humans experience only 2 kinds of human energy: resurrection energy and rebellion energy. Gal 5:17. Rebellion energy energizes us through the flesh because we are the children of disobedience. Eph 2:2. Resurrection energy energizes the children of God through the Spirit. Eph 3:20, Col 1:29 & 1 Thess 2:13. We receive resurrection energy when we receive resurrection power, Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:8, by being baptized into the body of Christ. Ro 6:3 & Gal 3:27. Praying fervent, effectual energized prayers activates resurrection energy. Acts 4:31 & James 5:16. But rebellion energy continues to energize our flesh and tries to fight our resurrection energy. Ro 7:23.

Praying in the Spirit with understanding activates our resurrection energy to defeat our rebellion energy. Luke 22:31-32, Acts 6:4 & 1 Cor 14:15. Failing to activate resurrection energy by praying in the Spirit with understanding allows our rebellion energy to block our blessings by crippling our faith and causing us to make mistakes all the time. Matt 22:29 & 1 Tim 3:5. Activating our resurrection energy through energized prayer defeats our rebellion energy, 1 Cor 9:25-27, 2 Cor 10:3-5 & 2 Tim 2:3-5, by deactivating our rebellion energy, Gal 5:16, and makes us the most powerful creatures in the universe. Ro 8:35-37 & Php 4:13. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. 1 Cor 2:6-7. Maximizing resurrection energy crowns us as glorious, righteous human Elohim, 1 Cor 9:25, 2 Tim 4:8 & 1 Pet 5:4, by conforming us to the image of Christ, Ro 8:29, filling us with the fullness of God, Eph 3:19, and making us sharers of the divine nature. 2 Pet 1:4.

Zoe Panacea Energy

Note: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: As it is written, The just will live by faith. Ro 1:16-17. (The righteous shall unlock the power of God by activating zoe through faith.)

God’s great gift to humans is eternal life. Ro 6:23. The Greek word for life is zoe. The bible reveals that the resurrection is the reality, Matt 19:19 & Matt 22:30, where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, Ro 8:37, Col 3:3-4 & 1 John 3:3, fully enjoy the blessings of inheriting eternal zoe (or eternal life). Matt 19:29, Matt 25:46 Tit 1:2 & Tit 3:7. The bible reveals tremendous promises about the blessings of zoe that glorious, victorious Christlike humans will enjoy in the reality of the resurrection. I call these promises the Zoe Resurrection Promises. The Zoe Resurrection Promises include:

The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, are the strongest and most powerful creatures in the universe. Matt 22:28-32, 1 Cor 15:42-44, Col 3:4, 2 Pet 2:11 & 1 John 3:2.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, exercise dominion in the earth while shining like stars. Dan 7:27, Dan 12:3 & Luke 9:29-31.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, judge angels. 1 Cor 6:3.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, rule over kingdoms and feast with Christ as a reward for continuing in suffering with Christ Jesus. Luke 22:28-30.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, rule over cities as a reward for having used resurrection energy profitably. Luke 19:16-19.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, rule the nations with a rod of iron as a reward for overcoming the sinful world. Rev 2:26-27.
The resurrection is the reality where glorious, victorious Christlike humans, who possess eternal life, enjoy eternal blessings as a reward for having blessed those who could not repay them. Luke 14:12-14.

The bible reveals these tremendous Zoe Resurrection Promises to motivate us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow Christ Jesus. Matt 16:24-27, Mk 8:34-38 & Luke 9:23-26. The bible teaches humans to hate our natural lives to gain zoe. John 12:25. The bible teaches humans to be willing to endure trials in this world to gain zoe. James 1:12. The bible teaches humans to be willing to die in this world to gain zoe. Rev 2:10. The bible teaches humans that hating our lives, enduring severe suffering and physically dying are small prices to pay to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises. Php 3:6-10 & Heb 6:10-15. Fully understanding zoe equips us to use the powerful spiritual tools which God has provided to motivate and strengthen humans to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises by living sober, righteous godly lives in this world. Tit 2:11-13.

Satan has robbed the entire church of this powerful motivation and strength to live sober, righteous godly lives by blinding the church to a full understanding of zoe. 2 Cor 4:4. Satan has blinded the entire church to a full understanding of zoe by tricking the church into understanding zoe to be little more than a wonderful endless life. This limited understanding of zoe has proven too weak and ineffective to motivate humans to live sober, righteous godly lives. Consider below the more complete meaning of zoe which will provide more strength and motivation to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises by living sober, godly, righteous lives. But first consider the additional information about the current understanding of zoe, as a wonderful, endless life, which has been so ineffective in helping humans to live sober, godly lives.

God used Bible Teaching Giants, Cyril of Alexander, Thomas Aquinas, C.S. Lewis and Watchman Nee, to produce some of the greatest bible scholarship ever produced. They all had a limited understanding of zoe as a higher form of life which limited the ability of the Giant Bible Teaching which they produced to motivate and strengthen humans to live the sober, righteous godly lives that secures the Zoe Resurrection Promises. Cyril of Alexandria lived in the 5^th Century. Thomas Aquinas lived in the 13^th Century. C.S. Lewis and Watchmen Nee lived in the 20^th Century. These 4 Bible Teaching Giants spanning 15 centuries all primarily thought of zoe as a wonderful, endless life because the entire church has thought of zoe as a wonderful, endless life. The entire church, including the church’s Bible Teaching Giants, has been blinded to the full, powerful understanding of the word zoe which God has provided to motivate and strengthen humans to live sober, godly lives.

Watchman Nee wrote: Some Bible scholars point out to us that three different words are employed in the Greek to designate “life”: (1) bios (2) psuche and (3) zoe. They all describe life but convey very different meanings. … Zoe is the highest life, the life of the spirit. The Spiritual Man, Part One, Chapter 2. Millions of people today study and benefit from the teaching of Watchman Nee. But thinking of zoe as primarily a higher form of life limited Nee’s ability to teach the full understanding of zoe which God wants bible students to use to motivate and strengthen themselves to live the sober, righteous godly lives which will secure the Zoe Resurrection Promises.

C.S. Lewis wrote: The spiritual life which is in God from all eternity, and which made the whole natural universe is zoe. Bios has, to be sure, a certain shadowy or symbolic resemblance to zoe, but only the sort of resemblance there is between a photo and a place, or a statue and a man. Mere Christianity, Book 4, Chapter 1. Lewis also wrote: The real Son of God is at your side. He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as Himself. He is beginning, so to speak, to “inject” His kind of life and thought, His Zoe, into you: beginning to turn the tin soldier into a living man. Mere Christianity, Book 4, Chapter 7. Parts of the excerpts from Lewis hint at benefits of zoe which can help motivate and strengthen us to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises. Lewis says that zoe made the natural universe. He also says that the Son of God injects humans with zoe. These thoughts point towards a more powerful understanding of zoe as a creative and transformative energy. But Lewis primarily thought of zoe as a higher form of life. Lewis compared zoe to bios which is another Greek word which does describe a form of life. Lewis taught that bios was a shadowy form of life compared to zoe which Lewis thought to be the real life. Thinking of zoe as primarily a higher form of life limited Lewis’ ability, just as it limited Nee’s ability, to teach the full understanding of zoe which God designed to motivate and strengthen bible students to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises by living sober, righteous, godly lives.

Thomas Aquinas wrote: Becoming like Christ progresses as we walk in the zoe we have received and become like Christ through imitation. D&G, Chapter 2, page 41, quoting Aquinas. Cyril wrote: And He dwells in us as zoe and as life-giving zoe, in order that death which had visited our members might be destroyed through Christ. D&G, Chapter 2, page 45, quoting Cyril of Alexandria. Aquinas hinted at the powerful creative and transformative nature of zoe by noting that humans become like Christ as humans walk in zoe. Cyril hinted at the power of zoe in a weaker way by stating that zoe destroys death. But the excerpts above show that Aquinas and Cyril primarily thought of zoe as the highest quality of life. God used Cyril, Aquinas, Lewis and Nee to produce some of the most powerful Giant Bible Teaching ever produced. But all four of them, and the entire church, thought of zoe in a limited way which limited their ability to teach the full understanding of zoe which God provided for bible students to use to motivate and strengthen themselves to live the sober, righteous godly lives that will secure the Zoe Resurrection Promises.

The last part of this paper gives a full powerful understanding of zoe that will motivate and strengthen you to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises. Safety and happiness describe important parts of zoe. But zoe is so much more. Consider an illustration that will help you to see how the church has suffered from having only a limited understanding of zoe. Thinking of zoe as providing only safety and happiness is like thinking of fire as providing only light and heat. Fire provides (1) light to see, (2) heat to keep you warm, (3) chemicals that cook food, (4) consumption power that cleans and eliminates waste, (5) chemicals that forge useful tools, (6) energy that powers mechanical devices and (7) damage inflicting ability against aggression.

Consider one society that uses fire only for light and heat. Consider a second society that uses all seven benefits of fire. The society which more fully uses fire will be much more advanced in just a few centuries. The first society would remain forever trapped in a miserable, primitive existence. Followers of Christ in the 21^st Century are trapped in a miserable primitive spiritual existence because the church has failed to recognize and teach the more powerful benefits of zoe which motivates and strengthens humans to live sober, godly lives. Consider the following 2 more powerful understandings of zoe which can greatly advance your spiritual existence by motivating and strengthening you to live the sober, righteous godly lives that will lead you to gain zoe and the Zoe Resurrection Promises.

Remember that zoe is the gift of God. Ro 6:23. The first definition is that zoe is the energy that generates blessings and swallows up sin and death. The second definition is that zoe is reality-regulating-death-dominating-panacea-generating-energy. These 2 definitions teach us that zoe is a gift from God which gives us powerful abilities to rule our environments by generating blessings and controlling hostile forces. The Zoe Resurrection Promises describe glorious, victorious, Christlike humans ruling kingdoms, ruling cities, ruling nations and judging angels. Realizing that zoe is an energy force that enables you to generate blessings and control hostile energy forces helps you to live a sober, godly life by making the Zoe Resurrection Promises of ruling in the kingdom of heaven more real to you.

The bible says that God has blessed humans with all spiritual blessings and that death will be swallowed up in victory. Eph 1:3 & 1 Cor 15:54. The first description of zoe swallowing up death rests on a foundation of these revelations. The bible also says that humans will rule the nations with a rod of iron and that all enemies including death will be placed under Christ’s feet. 1 Cor 15:25-26 & Rev 2:26-27. The second description of zoe being reality-regulating and death-dominating rests on the foundation of these revelations. This paper ends with 12 bible verses where the phrase “the energy that generates blessings and swallows up sin and death” appears in place of the word zoe in those bible verses and 12 more bible verses where the phrase reality-regulating-death-dominating-panacea-generating-energy in the place of the word zoe in those bible verses. The context of the bible verses confirms that the phrases “the energy that generates blessings and swallows up sin and death” and “reality-regulating-death-dominating-panacea-generating-energy” are descriptions of zoe which have the power to effectively motivate and strengthen humans to live the sober, godly lives that will secure the Zoe Resurrection Promises.

Conclusion

The bible promises tremendous blessings to all who suffer with Christ Jesus. The bible promises that all who suffer with Christ will become joint-heirs with Christ Jesus and receive everything Christ received. Ro 8:17. The bible promises that all who suffer with Christ Jesus will reign with Christ. 2 Tim 2:12. Christ Jesus promises to appoint a kingdom to every person who continues with Christ in suffering. Luke 22:28-30 & Ro 8:-16-17. Meditating on the above first set of bible verses which emphasize that zoe generates blessings and swallows up sin and death and the second set of bible verses which emphasize that zoe regulates reality and dominates death gives us confidence that the Zoe Resurrection Promises are quite real. The full revelation of gift of zoe, Ro 6:23, assures us that the gift of zoe gives us powerful divine tools to gain the rewards of the Zoe Resurrection Promises and ruling with Christ Jesus in the reality of the resurrection by living sober righteous godly lives.

Grace makes humans dominant, Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 20:4-6, by mixing their zoe energy with righteousness, Ro 5:17 & Ro 5:21, to create the power which humans receive when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Luke 24:29 & Acts 1:8. Grace makes the zoe energy which controls each human’s reality complete, Eph 2:8 & Heb 12:23, by supplying the righteousness which equips zoe to control sin and death. Rev 5:17-2, Ro 6:18 & Ro 8:1-4. The gift of righteousness, Ro 5:17, through the gift of grace, Eph 2:8, empowers humans to rule by grace through the gift of eternal life. Ro 5:21 & Ro 6:23. The righteous shall unlock the power of God by activating zoe through faith. Ro 1:16-17.

Old Earth To New Earth

(The Beachhead Revelation)

Christ Jesus will return to earth just before the beast begins to reign and establish a beachhead on mount Zion. Rev 6:17 Rev 14:1-5. God has, for the first time in the 21^st Century, unsealed this revelation (the “Beachhead Revelation”). Christ Jesus will use this beachhead on mount Zion to consummate this age by personally ending the reign of the beast. Rev 17:12-14. We will refer to lots of Scripture in this paper to prove the Beachhead Revelation. Understanding the Beachhead Revelation will give you a beachhead to understand how Christ consummate this age by personally ending the reign of the beast. The name Beachhead Revelation applies because the revelation describes how Christ operates from a beachhead on mount Zion and because the revelation provides a beachhead for you to use to develop a full understanding of how Christ consummate this age by personally ending the reign of the beast.

Progressive Revelation

God is progressively unsealing the revelation of how Christ will consummate this age. Dan 8:26, Dan 12:4 & Dan 12:9-10. God used the 19^th Century bible teaching of John Nelson Darby and Robert Govett to unseal truths that provided a more complete picture of how Christ will consummate this age. God used the 20^th Century bible teaching of Lewis Sperry Chafer, Watchman Nee, Robert B. Thieme, Jr. and Witness Lee to unseal truths that provided an even more complete picture of how Christ will consummate this age. This paper builds on the truths unsealed by those bible teachers to show that God has now in the 21^st Century unsealed the more complete revelation that God uses signs in the sun and the moon to signal that God has shaken the powers of heaven and that Christ will soon come on clouds to mount Zion to consummate this age in the day of the Lord. You must understand that Christ will return to earth just once just before the beast begins to reign to understand the revelation of how Christ will consummate this age in the day of the Lord by personally ending the reign of the beast.

Five Key Concepts that Show how Christ Consummates this Age

Understanding how the following five concepts work together shows how Christ appear on mount Zion to consummate this age by ending the reign of the beast:

God uses signs in the sun and the moon to signal that Christ will soon come on clouds to begin the day of the Lord. Joel 2:10, Joel 2:31, Joel 3:15, Matt 24:29, Mk 13:24, Luke 21:25, Rev 6:12 & Rev 8:12.
The signs in the sun and the moon also signal that God has shaken the powers of heaven. Matt 24:29, Mk 13:25, Luke 21:26 & Rev 6:13.
The phrase coming with clouds refers to God judging the world. Is 19:1, Jer 4:13, Matt 24:30, Matt 26:64, Mk 13:26, Mk 14:62, Rev 1:7 & Rev 14:14.
Christ will use mount Zion as a beachhead to besiege the world and end the reign of the beast. Ps 2:6, Is 10:12, Is 24:23, Is 28:16-17, Is 31:9, Joel 3:16, Ob 1:17-18, Rev 14:1 & Rev 16:10.
The day of the Lord begins with Christ coming to mount Zion to besiege the world and end the reign of the beast. Joel 1:15, Joel 2:11, Joel 3:14-18, Luke 17:24, Rev 6:17 & Rev 16:14.

The bible uses the concepts of (1) signs in the sun and the moon, (2) the powers of heaven being shaken, (3) Christ coming with clouds, (4) Christ appearing on mount Zion and (5) the day of the Lord to reveal important truths about how Christ will return to earth just before the beast begins to reign to consummate this age by ending the reign of the beast. The concept of the signs in the sun and the moon connects with different combinations of the other concepts to reveal important truths about how Christ returns to consummate this age. You can get a complete picture of how Christ returns to consummate this age by comparing the information revealed in the different combinations.

Key Bible Passages that Show how Christ Consummates this Age

The accounts of the Olivet Discourse in the gospels connect the concept of the signs in the sun and the moon with the concepts of (1) the powers of heaven being shaken and (2) Christ coming with clouds to show that Christ will return to earth just before the beast begins to reign to consummate this age by ending the reign of the beast. The book of Joel connects the concept of the signs in the sun and the moon with the concepts of (1) Christ judging the world from mount Zion and (2) the day of the Lord to show that Christ begins to execute the day of the Lord by establishing a beachhead on mount Zion. The book of Revelation connects all five of the concepts to show that God will use the signs in the sun and the moon to signal that God has shaken the powers of heaven and that Christ will soon come on clouds to mount Zion to besiege the world and consummate this age in the day of the Lord by ending the reign of the beast. This is the most complete picture which God has yet unsealed of how Christ returns to earth just before the beast begins to reign to consummate this age by ending the reign of the beast.

A Summary of how Christ Returns and Consummates this Age

The book of Revelation opens by declaring that Christ comes with clouds. Rev 1:7. The bible uses the phrase coming with clouds to refer to God coming from heaven to declare a new age. Is 19:1. The book of Revelation, by declaring that Jesus comes with clouds, opens by declaring that Christ Jesus is coming to consummate this age and begin a new age. Rev 1:7. When the book of Revelation was written, everyone knew that the phrase coming with clouds referred to God returning to judge the world. Everyone knew, from passages such as Isaiah 19:1, Jeremiah 4:13 and Daniel 7:13, that the phrase coming with clouds referred to God returning to begin a new age. The gospels of Matthew and Mark both show that Jesus claimed that He would return to judge the world by saying that He would come in the clouds of heaven. Matt 26:64-66 & Mk 14:62-64. The chief priests responded to Christ’s claim by condemning Him to death because they all knew that He was claiming that He would begin a new age.

Understanding that the bible uses the phrase coming with clouds to refer to Christ returning to judge the world and begin a new age enables you to see the further revelation that Christ will return to earth to judge the world just before the beast begins to reign. Three gospel passages declare that men shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great power and glory. Matt 24:29-30, Mk 13:24-26 & Luke 21:25-27. These passages all refer to men seeing the Son of man return to the earth to judge the world. All three passages refer to this happening after the powers of heaven are shaken. All three passages refer to Christ coming to judge the world after the appearing of signs in the sun and the moon. Comparing these three gospel passages to Revelation 6:12-17 shows that men will see Christ return just before the beast begins to reign to judge the world during the reign of the beast and begin a new age.

Revelation 6:12-17 begins with the vision of the sun becoming black and the moon becoming as blood and the stars falling from heaven. The passage ends with men trying to hide themselves from face of Him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. Revelation 6:12-17 describes the same events as Matthew 24:29-30, Mark 13:24-26 and Luke 21:25-27 and reveals that these events happen just before the beast begins to reign by revealing that they happen when the sixth seal is opened. Rev 6:12. Revelation 6:17 also reveals that the day of the Lord begins just before the beast begins to reign by declaring that the great day of the Lamb’s wrath is come. Joel 2:31, like Revelation 6:12-17, also connects the signs in the sun and the moon with beginning of the day of the Lord.

Coming with Clouds and the Day of The Lord

Understanding that the day of the Lord, coming with clouds and the coming of the Son of man are all phrases that the bible uses to refer to the period when Christ conquers the world will also greatly help you to receive the revelation of how Christ returns to consummate this age. Comparing the references to the sun and the moon in Joel 2:31, Joel 3:14-15, Matthew 24:29-30, Mark 13:24-26 and Luke 21:25 reveals that the bible uses the term the day of the Lord and the term coming with clouds to refer to God returning to judge the world and begin a new age. The passages in Joel connect the signs in the sun and the moon with the day of the Lord. The gospel passages connect the signs in the sun and the moon with Christ coming in the clouds. The reference to the signs in the sun and the moon in both sets of passages reveals that the bible uses the day of the Lord and coming in the clouds as phrases to refer to the same set of events happening in the same time period. These passages show that the day of the Lord begins before the beast begins with Christ returning to earth by coming with clouds just before the beast begins to reign to consummate this age from mount Zion by ending the reign of the beast.

Comparing Matthew 24:27 and Luke 17:24 shows that the bible also uses the day of the Lord and coming of the Son of man to refer to the same set of events. Matthew 24:27 shows that the coming of the Son of man shall be as the lightning shining from the east to the west. Luke 17:24 reveals that Lord in His day shall be as the lightning shining from one part of heaven to the other. These passages show that the bible uses the phrases the coming of the Son of man and the day of the Lord to refer to the same thing which is God returning to judge the world. The day of the Lord, coming with clouds and the coming of the Son of man are all phrases that the bible uses to refer to Christ coming with clouds to judge the world. Revelation 6:12-17 reveals that this begins before the beast begins to reign by revealing that it begins when the sixth seal is opened.

Judging the World from Mount Zion

The bible also confirms that Christ will return to earth just before the beast begins to reign by declaring that the Lamb will stand on mount Zion with 144,000 faithful servants. Rev 14:1-5. The passage confirms that the Lamb stands on mount Zion before the beast begins to reign by going on to warn men not to worship the beast. Rev 14:9-11. The Old Testament reveals that Christ will judge the world from mount Zion. Is 10:12, Is 24:23, Is 28:16-17, Is 31:9, Joel 3:16 & Ob 1:17-18. Understanding that Christ will judge the world from mount Zion reveals that the reference to the Lamb standing on mount Zion in Revelation 14:1-5 is a reference to Christ appearing to judge the world just before the beast begins to reign. The Lord will consummate this age by launching attacks out of mount Zion, Joel 3:16 & Rev 14:1, which destroy and end the reign of the beast. Rev 6:17, Rev 14:8 & Rev 16:10. The beast and his ten kings will make war against the lamb on earth during the reign of the beast. Dan 8:25 & Rev 17:12-14. The Lamb and His chosen and faithful ones will defeat the beast and these ten kings. Rev 17:14. The 144,000 first-fruits of the Lamb, Rev 14:-5, are the chosen and faithful ones who are with the Lamb when the Lamb conquers the beast and the ten kings. Rev 17:14. This is the conclusive proof of the Beachhead Revelation that Christ returns before the beast begins to reign to consummate this age by ending the reign of the beast.

Parousia Timeline Cornerstone

Parousia Timeline Cornerstone

(By Joseph E. Herbert – jeherbert64@gmail.com)

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Rev 1:3.

Note: Fully understanding the revelation of the Parousia of Christ Jesus equips you to exercise Parousia authority and teach others to exercise Parousia authority.

When I say there was a curtain call I mean everyone clapped because they liked the play. When I say she brought down the house I mean she did something that the crowd really liked. These are idioms and everyone in show business knows what they mean.

When the bible says the sun will be darkened it means that Eternal God will begin to end this world by causing all order to collapse. The sun being darkened is an idiom and all the first readers of the bible knew what it meant. The sun will be darkened and Christ Jesus will appear when the 6^th seal is opened. Rev 6:12-17. The sun will be darkened and Christ Jesus will appear immediately after the end of the great tribulation. Matt 24:21-22 & Matt 24:29-31. Putting these passages together shows that the sun will be darkened and Christ Jesus will appear immediately after the end of the great tribulation when the 6th seal is opened. Here is why Christ Jesus appears when those things happen.

Christ Jesus will appear when the 6^th seal is opened to destroy the false Parousia of the man of sin with the brightness of the true Parousia. 2 Thess 2:8-9. Parousia is a technical word. It describes a king who has been away on official business returning to establish and enforce order in his kingdom with his presence. The man of sin will launch a false Parousia by sitting in the temple and claiming to be God. 2 Thess 2:3-4. This abomination of desolation, Matt 24:15, triggers a short period of great tribulation. Matt 24:21-22. Christ Jesus then appears after that period of great tribulation ends, Matt 24:29-31, with a brightness that lights up the sky from one end of the heavens to the other. Luke 17:24.

Christ Jesus launches the true Parousia and appears shortly after the man of sin sits in the temple when the sixth seal is opened to destroy the false Parousia which Satan launched with the abomination of desolation. Matt 24:29-31, 2 Thess 2:3-4 & 2 Thess 2:8-9. The brightness of the true Parousia destroys the false Parousia by proving that it is false, 2 Thess 2:8-9, and proves that Christ Jesus is the true Christ. Matt 24:5. Eternal God showed me this revelation through a 25 year study of 14 Bible Teaching Giants and this revelation has never been published before calendar year 2023.

The bible does not reveal the day or hour when the true Parousia begins. Matt 24:36. But the bible does reveal the order in which the events of the true Parousia occur. The great tribulation ends before the 7^th seal is opened. The glorious appearing of Christ Jesus, Tit 2:13, occurs when the 6^th seal is opened. This knowledge enables you to build a correct timeline of all the significant events of the Parousia of Christ Jesus and the book of Revelation. Eternal God showed me these things to equip me to help you to build this timeline and receive the blessings which come from understanding and obeying the things written in the book of Revelation. Rev 1:13.

The Last Trumpet is the Last Sabbath

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor 15:51-52.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Lev 23:24.

Note: This paper shows how I used information and study techniques learned from studying Bible Teaching Giants to learn the secret of the meaning of the last trump referenced in 1 Corinthians 15:52.

The last trumpet in 1 Cor 15:51-52 is the last sabbath in Lev 23:24. The apostle Paul uses the phrase “last trump” to emphasize that the main point of 1 Cor 15:51-52 is that resurrection ushers in the final sabbath rest. Israel called a sabbath and assembled the people every year on the first day of the seventh month by blowing a trumpet. The trumpet sound that raises the dead is the last trump because there will no longer be need to call sabbaths to gather the people of God. The annual sabbath was a holy convocation. The last trump brings all the dead in Christ together for an eternal rest in the final holy convocation.

We can confirm this meaning of the passage by meditating on hyperlinked passages. The phrase “swallowed up death” links 1 Cor 15:51-54 to 1 Cor 15:22-26 and Isaiah 25:8. The first linked passage connotes peace by saying that all enemies will be placed under Christ’s feet. 1 Cor 15:25. The second passage connotes rest by stating that Eternal God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. Is 25:8. The reference to wiping away tears hyperlinks the previous passages to Rev 7:17 where Eternal God wipes away the tears of those who have come out of great tribulation to enter the final rest. Rev 7:14-15.

The phrase “led unto fountains of living waters” in Rev 7:17 hyperlinks that verse to Is 49:6-10 which describes the Lord gathering the tribes of Israel, making them lights to the Gentiles and leading them besides streams of water. The reference to “wiping away tears” also hyperlinks Is 25:8 to 2 bible passages which describe the new earth as a final rest where there is no more crying and where Eternal God wipes away tears. Is 65:17-19 & Rev 21:1-7. Meditating on 1 Cor 15:51-54, 1 Cor 15:22-26, Isaiah 25:8, Isaiah 49:6-10, Isaiah 65:17-19, Revelation 7:1-7 and Revelation 21:1-7 together will eventually confirm for you that the final sabbath rest is the definitive meaning of the last trump in 1 Cor 15:51. The following table will help you to get the most out of meditating on those passages:

Resurrection Swallows Up Death

Subject	Verses
Resurrection	1 Thess 4:16-17, 1 Cor 15:52-54
Swallow Up Death	1 Cor 15:52-54, 1 Cor 15:22-26, Is 25:8
Wipe Away Tears	Is 25:8, Rev 21:1-4, Is 65:17-19, Rev 7:17
Lead to Springs of Water	Rev 7:17, Is 49:10, 1 Thess 4:16-17
New Earth	Rev 21:1-4, Is 65:17-19

Eternal God began to show me this bible secret while I was trying to figure out when the last trump will sound and what it means to be changed in a twinkling of an eye. 1 Cor 15:51-52. I began to receive the revelation when I reminded myself that I had to look at the language as symbolic and look for bible terms which had expanded and connecting meanings. I quickly focused on the concept of death being swallowed up in victory. This led to a chain reaction of me quickly linking all the verses set forth in the table. I then remembered that there is a feast of trumpets. The context of the feast of trumpets made it clear that the last trump in 1 Cor 15:51 refers to the final rest foreshadowed in that feast. The context of the feast of trumpets and meditating on the hyperlinked verses took me to the exact same detailed understanding of 1 Cor 15:51-54. Reaching the same destination from two different routes confirms the interpretation. I reached this correct conclusion by using the information and bible study techniques which I learned from Bible Teaching Giants. This is the power of studying Bible Teaching Giants.

Harvest Hyperlink Confirms Feast of Trumpets Connection

The bible also confirms that the last trump in 1 Cor 15:51-52 refers to the feast of trumpets in Lev 23:24 by hyperlinking the theme of harvest. The feast of trumpets happened in autumn and was a harvest feast. Lev 23:24 & Num 29:1. Christ Jesus compared the consummation of the age to a harvest. Matt 13:30 & Matt 13:39. The bible also refers to the gathering of people at the end of the world as the harvest in the book of Revelation. Rev 14:15. These hyperlinks show that Matt 13:39, 1 Cor 15:51-52, 1 Thess 4:16 and Rev 14:15 all describe the same event by connecting the resurrection with the feast of trumpets and the theme of harvest.

First Resurrection Discipline

All members of the body of Christ will receive the maximum blessing of inheriting the kingdom of God and spending eternity conformed to the image of Christ and filled with the fullness of God. Ro 8:29 & Eph 3:19. This is the good news of the kingdom of God. Some members of the body of Christ will suffer the loss of having to be saved by fire in the first resurrection, 1 Cor 3:15, 1 Cor 5:5 & Rev 20:4-6, to inherit the kingdom of God and become conformed to the image of Christ and filled with the fullness of God. This is the bad news of the kingdom of God.

The second death hurts members of the body of Christ who fail to overcome, Eph 5:30 & Rev 2:11, by requiring them to suffer the loss of having to be saved by fire in the first resurrection, 1 Cor 3:15, 1 Cor 5:5 & Rev 20:4-6, before receiving the maximum blessings of becoming human Elohim, Ro 8:29, Eph 3:19 & 2 Pet 1:4, who dwell and rule with Christ Jesus in heaven on earth in the new Jerusalem. Rev 21:1-7 & Rev 22:1-5. This revelation incorporates the teaching of Bible Teaching Giants: Robert Govett, C.S. Lewis, Witness Lee, Michael Heiser and N.T. Wright. Eternal God wants you to know this revelation and Eternal God wants you to share this revelation with people you love to warn them.

The entire New Testament warns us to think seriously about the requirements for entering the kingdom of God. Matt 5:20, Matt 7:21-23, Acts 14:22, 2 Cor 5:10-11, Heb 10:26-27 & James 2:14-17. Christ Jesus taught that unfaithful children would be shut out of the kingdom of God. Paul taught that those who sowed to the flesh would not inherit the kingdom of God. James taught that faith without works could not get you into the kingdom of God. Peter taught that entering the kingdom of God requires suffering. John taught that those who failed to love their brothers would not enter the kingdom of God. All these teachings refer to the revelation that members of the body of Christ who fail to inherit the kingdom of God in this life must overcome and inherit the kingdom of God by being saved by fire in the first resurrection. Rev 21:7. I want to help you understand this revelation and tell it to those you love.

Studying the most famous bible teaching of the ages protects against contemporary teachers with agendas by revealing the pattern of the apostle’s doctrine. Ro 6:17, 2 Tim 1:13, 1 Ti 1:16, Tit 2:7 & 2 Tim 2:2. The pattern of the apostle’s doctrine is a pattern for learning, teaching and living doctrine and a pattern for receiving, using and modeling resurrection power. The pattern of the apostle’s doctrine exposes the human agendas of American Protestant bible teaching, Col 2:8, and frees you from foolishness which blocks you from resurrection power.

The World’s Shortest Guide

To Understanding the Book of Revelation

(For Beginners, Experts and Everyone In Between)

Preface

This paper helps you to understand the book of Revelation by explaining how the great reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection for a thousand years, Rev 20:4-6, relates to God’s great purpose of perfecting the body of Christ, Eph 3:9-11 & Eph 5:26-27, and the saint’s great task of helping to perfect the body of Christ, Eph 2:10 & Eph 4:11-16, by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul. John 12:24-26. You can verify many of the truths presented in this paper by reading the classic Christian books of bible teachers such as Robert Govett, David H. Panton and G.H. Pember. You can find these and many other helpful books for understanding the book of Revelation by visiting the Schoettle Publishing Company website at www.schoettlepublishing.com. But while there are books in print by Govett, Panton, Pember and a few others, which confirm many of the truths set forth in this paper, so far as I can tell, no one has ever published a book which explains how the reward of saints ruling with Christ in the first resurrection depends on saints helping to accomplish the Lord God’s great purpose of perfecting the body of Christ by transforming their natural souls into spiritual souls.

By so much, this paper will make two vital contributions to the spiritual growth of those who receive its revelations. First, it will confirm to them that they will receive the reward of quite literally ruling with Christ in the first resurrection if they glorify the Lord God on the earth by finishing the work which the Lord God gave them to do, John 17:4 & Eph 2:10, of helping to perfect the body of Christ. Eph 4:11-16. Second, it will focus them on the main task of transforming the natural soul which the Lord God has given saints to complete in order to help the Lord God to complete the body of Christ. The Lord God’s great purpose is to perfect the body of Christ. Eph 3:9-11 & Eph 5:26-27. The saint’s great task is to help the Lord God to perfect the body of Christ by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul. John 12:24-26 & Col 1:28-29. The saint’s great reward for completing the work which the Lord God has given saints to do on the earth, John 17:4 & Eph 2:10, of perfecting the body of Christ by transforming the soul is to rule with Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection. Rev 2:26-27, Rev 3:10 & Rev 20:4-6. You can lay a firm foundation for receiving the great reward of ruling with Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection if you prayerfully and diligently study the truths set forth in this paper.

Failure to understand that transforming the soul is the means of receiving the reward of ruling with Christ has blinded practically all bible teachers in the 21^st Century United States to one of the dominant messages of the gospels. The bible teaches six times and in all four gospels that saints will either lose their lives by trying to save them or save their lives by willingly losing them. Matt 10:39, Matt 16:25, Mk 8:35, Luke 9:24, Luke 17:33 & John 12:25. The instruction to save your life by losing it is the dominant message of the gospels to the saint in terms of how the saint should live. Learning and carrying out this dominant message of the gospels will lead the saint to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul, Ro 12:1-2, which will lead to the saint receiving the reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection. Even the best bible teachers in the 21^st Century United States fail to teach that the Lord God is quite serious about saints quite literally losing their lives to save them because bible teachers do not understand the reward for obeying this command. By so much, this paper also seeks to help bible teachers to confidently teach saints how to receive their reward by saving their lives by losing them.

The World’s Shortest Guide

To Understanding the Book of Revelation

(The Primary Application)

The primary application of The World’s Shortest Guide to Understanding the Book of Revelation is to help saints to receive the great reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection by enabling them to help Christ to perfect the body of Christ by transforming their natural souls into spiritual souls. Every saint should spend at least 15 minutes per day meditating on the concepts of (1) transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul by receiving increased biblical revelation, (2) helping to perfect the body of Christ by transforming the soul, and (3) receiving the reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection for helping to perfect the body of Christ. This process will help the saint to develop a deep understanding that the Lord God’s will is for every saint to complete a specific task to receive a specific reward for helping Christ to accomplish a specific goal.

C.S. Lewis said, “Every Christian is to become a little Christ. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else.” Mere Christianity, Book IV, Chapter 4. More specifically, the Lord God created every person to transform the natural soul to help to perfect the body of Christ to receive the reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else. Christ Jesus instructed saints to deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow Christ. Matt 16:24. Christ then asked, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul.?” Matt 16:26. Christ Jesus meant that if you fail to rule in the first resurrection because you failed to transform your soul, you will have missed the whole point of living.

Another really important revelation about transforming the soul is that fully transforming the soul will enter you into a final, permanent season of joy in this mortal life. John 15:11 & 1 John 1:3-4. You will have bad days, but you will sustain a permanent season of joy through the many trials that you will face, James 1:2-4, through seasons of heaviness designed to glorify Christ, 1 Pet 1:6-8, and even through the worst persecutions that man can inflict. Matt 5:11-12. Transforming the soul arms the saint with this kind of deep, enduring, overflowing joy because the process calls for saints to give up everything just as it called for the 11 apostles to give up everything, Matt 19:27 and called for the apostle Paul to give up everything. Php 3:8. So here is the promise that the Lord God makes to all saints: If you help to perfect the body of Christ by giving up all to transform your natural soul into a spiritual soul, you will receive the reward of entering into a final, permanent season of deep joy in this mortal life regardless of your circumstances and you will rule with Christ in the first resurrection.

The World’s Shortest Guide to Understanding the Book of Revelation explains how Christ rewards saints who help to perfect the body of Christ and disciplines saints who fail to help to perfect the body of Christ to help you to fully understand that the whole purpose of becoming a saint is to help to perfect the body of Christ by transforming your soul to receive the reward of attaining permanent joy in this mortal life and ruling with Christ in the first resurrection.

The World’s Shortest Guide

To Understanding the Book of Revelation

(For Beginners, Experts and Everyone In Between)

This paper examines six elements of Christ returning to judge the body of Christ and the world which work together to provide a framework for developing a complete, cohesive understanding of the book of Revelation. The six elements include (1) Christ returning to earth to inspect and perfect the body of Christ, 2 Cor 5:10 & Eph 5:26-27 & Rev 20:4-6, (2) members of the body of Christ qualifying to rule with Christ in the first resurrection by transforming their natural souls into spiritual souls, John 12:24-26, (3) the sign of the Son of man appearing in heaven to signal that Christ will soon begin to rule heaven and earth through the glorified body of Christ, Matt 24:29-30 & Rev 12:1-5, (4) the short period of flight from the abomination of desolation which transitions the world from a 42 month period in which the people of God witness to the world into a 42 month period in which God pours out His wrath on the world, Matt 24:15-22, Rev 11:3-7 & Rev 6:15-17, (5) Christ raising the dead on the last day to judge all who have ever lived, Matt 16:27 & 2 Tim 4:1, and (6) Christ dividing all saints into two groups to pass out two types of divine judgment. 1 Cor 3:14-15.

The framework uses the bible teachings of Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Nelson Darby, Robert Govett, Oswald Chambers, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Sperry Chafer, Robert B. Thieme, Jr., Watchman Nee and Witness Lee to integrate these six elements into a complete, cohesive explanation of how Christ will judge the living and the dead and establish His kingdom when He returns. 2 Tim 4:1. The bible promises that Jehovah Most High will give you the wisdom to understand the book of Relation if you ask for it. James 1:5. If you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to fully understand this document, Jehovah Most High will give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17-19, that will enable you to develop your own complete, cohesive understanding of the book of Revelation.

The book of Revelation describes how Jehovah Most High rewards every saint, Matt 16:27 & 1 Cor 3:14, who helps to build the body of Christ, Eph 4:11-16, by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul, John 12:24-26, and how Jehovah Most High disciplines every saint who fails to help build the body of Christ, Mal 3:2-4 & 1 Cor 3:15, by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul. Jehovah Most High created man primarily to demonstrate His wisdom and sovereignty to Satan by building individual humans into the body of Christ by transforming the souls of individual humans into perfected members of the body of Christ. Eph 3:9-11. Christ died on the cross to create the body of Christ by reconciling Jews and Gentiles into one body of Christ. Eph 2:16. God the Father will honor every saint who helps to build the body of Christ by transforming their souls by hating their lives to keep them. John 12:24-26. Christ will be ashamed of every saint who fails to help to the build the body of Christ because they failed to transform their souls because they lost their lives by trying to save them. Mark 8:34-38.

The phrase “the mystery of God should be finished” in Revelation 10:6-7 reveals that the completion of the body of Christ is a central theme in the book of Revelation. The bible refers to the process of preparing the body of Christ as the mystery of Christ. Eph 3:3-10. The context of Ephesians 3:3-10 reveals that the phrase “the mystery of God should be finished” in Revelation 10:6-7 refers to Jehovah Most High completing the body of Christ which demonstrates God’s sovereignty to Satan. Jehovah Most High will begin the process of judging Satan, Rev 12:12, ending time and transitioning creatures into eternity by finishing the mystery of God. Rev 10:6-7. Revelation 19:7 describes a wife who has made herself ready for Christ. Revelation 21:2 describes a bride that has been prepared by God for Christ. Christ returns to earth to transform the wife who has made herself ready into the bride which has been prepared by God by inspecting and perfecting the wife who has prepared herself. Mal 3:2-4.

The full revelation of Romans 11:24-26 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 teaches that the Second Coming is about Christ merging 3 parts of the body of Christ into one body. Eph 2:14-16. The Thessalonians passage reveals that, when Christ returns, there will be a part of the body of Christ which is dead in Christ and another part which is alive and remaining on the earth. The Romans passage teaches that, when Christ returns, there will be a third part of the body of Christ remaining on the earth which is the hardened part of Israel which must be grafted back in. One of the major purposes of the passages on the Second Coming is to demonstrate the sovereignty of Jehovah Most High by explaining in detail how Christ overcomes the obstacles of death and ethnicity to integrate these 3 parts of the body of Christ into a perfect body when He returns. Eph 5:25-27.

The bible teaches that Christ builds the body of Christ as a temple for the Lord to live in by making the Jewish people of God and the Gentile people of God one new man. Eph 2:15-16 & Eph 2:21-22. The book of Revelation confirms that the Jewish people of God and the Gentile people of God combine to make up the body of Christ by declaring that the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel appear on the twelve gates of the holy city and that the names of the twelve apostles appear on the twelve foundations of the holy city. Rev 21:12-14. The bible further teaches that the Lord God completes the body of Christ by first completing the Gentile branch of the body of Christ and then completing the Jewish branch of the body of Christ and grafting the branches together. Ro 11:24-26.

Jehovah Most High signals that the time of completing the body of Christ is close when Jehovah Most High gives power to two witnesses at the same time near the end of this age. Rev 11:3-4. The bible reveals that these two witnesses are the nation of Israel, which witnesses to the Jewish branch of God’s people, and the church, which witnesses to the Gentile branch of God’s people, Gal 2:7-8, which together witness to the whole earth. Zech 4:2-4, Zech 4:12-14 & Rev 11:3-4. Jehovah Most High gives the nation of Israel and the church authority to witness at the same time to signify that Jehovah Most High will soon complete the entire body of Christ by grafting together the Jewish branch of God’s people and the Gentile branch of God’s people. Fully understanding these passages about how Jehovah Most High makes one body of Christ out of two branches of God’s people reveals that members of the Jewish branch of God’s people and the Gentile branch of God’s people will be on the earth when Christ returns.

The concept of inspecting and perfecting the body of Christ is central to the book of Revelation because Jehovah Most High uses the body of Christ to reflect divine glory and rule the nations with a rod of iron. Jehovah Most High gave Living Stream Ministries the privilege of broadcasting the revelation that the Lord created man to reflect divine glory and rule with Christ through the body of Christ. Living Stream Ministries received this revelation by building on the teachings of Darby and Govett and integrating those teachings with certain teachings of Church Fathers including Irenaeus and Athanasius. Living Stream Ministries began to broadcast this revelation in the 1990’s calling it “the high peak of the divine revelation.” In the words of Living Stream Ministries: “The high peak of the divine revelation is that God became man so that man may become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead to produce and build up the organic Body of Christ for the fulfillment of God’s economy to close this age and bring Christ back to set up His kingdom – John 1:12-14, 1 John 3:1-2, Ro 8:3, Gal 2:20 & Php 3:10-11.”

The following inferences summarize three excerpts from a Living Stream Ministry article, by David Yoon, entitled “The Believers’ Reigning in the Kingdom as Unveiled in the Book of Revelation” which provides more information about the Living Stream Ministry expression of the high peak of the divine revelation: (1) Jehovah Most High created saints to reflect divine glory and exercise divine authority through the body of Christ in the kingdom of God. (2) Overcoming believers will receive the reward of ruling over the earth with Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection while defeated saints will rule with Christ in the new heaven and new earth only after being disciplined by Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection. (3) The grace of Jehovah Most High ensures that every saint, including the most defeated saint and the most sinful saint, will reflect divine glory and rule with Christ through the body of Christ in eternity after Christ disciplines all defeated saints, including the least worthy saints, for a thousand years in the first resurrection. The three inferences from the Living Stream Ministries article reveals that Jehovah Most High will purify even the most defeated saints of this age in the first resurrection because every saint must be glorified, Ro 8:29-30, in order for Christ to build the church into a glorious body without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Eph 5:26-27.

Jehovah Most High verified the truth and importance to me of what Living Stream Ministries calls the high peak of the divine revelation by giving me the same revelation independently before I discovered the teachings of Living Stream Ministries on the subject. Jehovah Most High gave Living Stream Ministries and me separate expressions of the revelation of Christ ruling the nations through the body of Christ through separate processes. My expression of the revelation emphasizes the concept of transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul. Ironically, I developed my understanding of transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul from the teaching of Watchman Nee, though I had not yet seen the Living Stream Ministries expression of Christ ruling the nations through the body of Christ.

Transforming the Natural Soul into a Spiritual Soul

I started a deep study of John 12:24-26 in response to teachings from Watchman Nee on the passages that declare that saints must lose their lives to save them. Matt 10:39, Matt 16:24-25, Mark 8:34-35 & Luke 9:23-24. This study showed me that John 12:25 provides key detailed information in how the saint fully receives eternal life by losing the natural life in this world. John 12:25 uses the word “psuche” for the word “life” in the phrases “loveth his life” and “hateth his life.” The verse uses the word “zoe” for the word “life” in the phrase “unto life eternal.” John 12:25 reveals that the saint fully receives eternal zoe life by transforming the saint’s psuchikos natural life into eternal pneumatikos zoe life. Fully understanding that the saint fully receives eternal pneumatikos zoe life by transforming natural life into eternal spiritual life arms the saint with powerful divine wisdom about how saints qualify to rule with Christ in the first resurrection by fully receiving the spiritual zoe life which saints must have to reflect divine glory and exercise divine authority.

The bible teaches six times and in all four gospels that saints will either save their lives by losing it or lose their lives by saving it. This is the dominant message of the gospels along with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Following the instruction of this dominant message of the bible leads the saint to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul. This process contributes to Jehovah Most High’s great purpose of perfecting the body of Christ by perfecting every member of the body of Christ. Ro 12:5 & Col 1:28-29. The process also qualifies the saint to receive the great reward of reflecting divine glory and ruling with Christ in the first resurrection by fully equipping the saint with the spiritual zoe life which the saint must have to reflect divine glory and exercise divine authority. Transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul is a dominant message of the bible and the great task of the saint because it contributes to the great objective of building the body of Christ and the great reward of the saint reflecting divine glory and ruling with Christ in the first resurrection.

Three important points which Jehovah Most High showed me about transforming the natural soul into the spiritual soul are that: (1) the purpose of serving Christ is to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul, (2) saints who transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul fully receive zoe life and reign with Christ in the first resurrection, and (3) saints who fail to receive zoe life and reign with Christ in the first resurrection suffer divine discipline for a thousand years in the first resurrection so that they can reign with Christ in eternity. The following summary uses technical language and bible citations to more accurately summarize my expression of the revelation: “The purpose of serving Christ is to transform the psuchikos soul (natural soul) into a pneumatikos soul (spiritual soul) by fully injecting it with zoe life (eternal life). Ro 12:1-2, John 10:10, John 12:25 & 1 Cor 15:44-45. The purpose of fully receiving eternal zoe life is to receive the reward of living and reigning with Chris for a thousand years in the first resurrection. 1 Cor 3:14 & Rev 20:4-6. Every saint who fails to complete this transformation process will suffer the loss of having to be purified by refining fire for a thousand years in the first resurrection before fully receiving eternal zoe life and living again and reigning with Christ in eternity after the thousand years are finished. 1 Cor 3:15, Mal 3:2-4, Rev 20:5 & Rev 22:3-5.”

Jehovah Most High designed the process of transforming the saint’s natural life into eternal spiritual life to perfect the saint by renewing the saint’s mind as the saint offers the body as a living sacrifice. Col 1:28-29 & Ro 12:1-2. This process of perfecting the saint by renewing the saint’s mind contributes to the process of glorifying God by completing the body of Christ because the perfected saint becomes a perfected member of the body of Christ. Ro 12:5 & Eph 5:30. Finally, the fact that God renews the saint’s mind by giving the saint knowledge which renews the saint in the image of Christ, Col 3:10, leads to the conclusion that God uses biblical revelation to transform the natural, psuche life of every saint into eternal spiritual, zoe life that contributes to perfecting the body of Christ and qualifies the saint to reflect divine glory and rule with Christ in the first resurrection. Jehovah Most High instructs saints to contribute to perfecting the body of Christ by transforming the psuche natural life into zoe spiritual life by hating the natural life in this world in order for God the Father to honor such saints, John 12:26, by giving them the reward of ruling with Christ in the first resurrection. Rev 20:4-6.

Fully understanding how Jehovah Most High designed the resurrection process reveals that the description of the first resurrection in Revelation 20:4-6 emphasizes the resurrection of the soul even though the passage describes the resurrection of the physical bodies of saints. Jehovah Most High designed the resurrection process to resurrect the spirit, soul and body to make all three components of man acceptable in the first resurrection. Jehovah Most High makes every human spirit acceptable at regeneration, Eph 1:6 & Tit 3:5, and makes every human body acceptable when Christ returns, Php 3:21, so that only the human soul is at risk of being found unacceptable, Heb 10:38-39 & 2 Tim 2:12, at the Judgment Seat of Christ. 2 Cor 5:10. This is why Jehovah Most High has made the saving of our soul the goal of our faith. 1 Pet 1:9. This is also why the reference to some saints living and other saints not living during the thousand years refers to some souls having full zoe life at the Judgment Seat of Christ and other souls not having full zoe life at the Judgment Seat of Christ even though the passage describes the resurrection of physical bodies. Rev 20:4-6.

The apostle John states that he saw the souls of some who had died for Christ and that they lived. Rev 20:4. The full revelation of this statement is that these saints fully received the zoe life, which equips saints to reflect divine glory and rule in the first resurrection, by hating their psuche lives unto death in this world. John 12:25 & Rev 12:11. The fact that all died in Adam, 1 Cor 15:22, reveals that these saints lived again when “they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” Rev 20:4. Jehovah Most High made the first Adam a zoe living soul, 1 Cor 15:45, which reveals that every individual soul began life in the first Adam as a zoe living soul. Gen 1:27-28 & Gen 2:7. Every zoe living soul died in the first Adam, 1 Cor 15:22, when death passed upon all men because the man in the garden sinned. Ro 5:12 & Ro 5:15. The last Adam functions as a zoe life giving spirit, 1 Cor 15:45, so that all who Christ makes alive, 1 Cor 15:22, live again as they did before death passed upon all men in the first Adam.

Spiritually regenerated saints who hate their lives to death in this world, John 12:25 & Rev 12:11, receive full zoe life in order to live and reign with Christ in the first resurrection. The context of Romans 8:12-13 confirms that the “rest of the dead” who “lived not again until the thousand years” are finished, Rev 20:5, are spiritually regenerated saints who lose their psuche lives, Matt 10:39, Matt 16:25, Mk 8:35, Luke 9:24 & John 12:25, for a thousand years because loving their lives in this world kept them from fully receiving zoe life in their souls. The full revelation of Romans 8:12-13 is that every saint who lives after the flesh shall die in the sense of continuing to experience the consequences of death in the first resurrection whereas every saint who mortifies the deeds of the body shall live in the sense of living and reigning with Christ in the first resurrection.

The spiritually regenerated saints who continue to experience the consequences of death in the first resurrection “live again” when the thousand years are finished, Rev 20:5, because they will have been saved by fully receiving zoe life by being refined by fire for a thousand years in the day of the Lord. Mal 3:2-4, 1 Cor 3:15 & 1 Cor 5:5. The bible teaches six times and in all four gospels that saints will either save their lives by losing it or lose their lives by saving it which is actually an instruction and encouragement to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul. This is the dominant message of the gospels along with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Understanding this dominant gospel message of how to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul unlocks the mystery of how to rule with Christ in the first resurrection.

Jehovah Most High’s main message to saints is that you will inherit a kingdom when Christ returns, 1 Pet 1:4 & Matt 25:34, if you become a perfected member of the body of Christ, Eph 4:11-16 &Col 1:27-28, by obeying the truth through the Spirit before Christ returns, 1 Pet 1:22, but if you don’t become a perfected member of the body of Christ before Christ returns, Christ will purify you when He returns by refining you with fire for a thousand years before you inherit your kingdom. Mal 3:2-4, 1 Cor 3:15 & 1 Cor 5:5. The bible teaches that Christ came the first time to purify saints by dying on the cross. Tit 2:14. The bible teaches that Christ is coming back to purify saints by sitting as a refiner and purifying them with fire. Mal 3:2-4. The bible teaches that Christ comes to the earth both times to purify saints because purifying every member of the body of Christ makes the body of Christ a glorious body without spot, wrinkle or blemish by perfecting every member of the body of Christ. Eph 5:26-27.

Christ came the first time to provide a voluntary process for purifying saints. Christ is coming back to impose a mandatory purifying process on every saint who fails to willingly equip themselves to inherit divine kingdoms through the first purification process because Christ must perfect every member of the body of Christ to perfect the entire body of Christ to demonstrate the sovereignty of the Godhead to Satan. Eph 3:9-11. If you don’t willingly equip yourself to rule kingdoms, Ps 82:6-8 & Matt 25:34, by using illuminated revelation, Eph 1:17-19 & Matt 6:22, to purify and transform yourself before Christ returns, 1 John 1:3-9, 1 John 3:1-3 & Ro 12:1-2, Christ will forcefully equip you to rule kingdoms by using refining fire to purify and transform you after He returns. Mal 3:2-3.

The Appearing of the Sign of the Son of Man

The sign of the Son of man, which Christ refers to in Matthew 24:30, is a sign which signals that the time has come for Christ to inspect and perfect the body of Christ and deliver the whole creation from the bondage of corruption. The bible teaches that the process of perfecting the body of Christ is closely connected to the process of delivering the whole creation from the bondage of corruption. Ro 8:19-22. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen 1:1. God then placed the sun, the moon and the stars in the heavens. Gen 1:16-18. Then, when the man and woman ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Gen 3:6, the Lord God cursed the ground, Gen 3:17, and subjected the created heavens and earth to vanity and the bondage of corruption along with man. Ro 8:20-21. The whole creation of heaven and earth is now eagerly waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption by being born when the liberty of the sons of God is manifested. Ro 8:19-22. The connection between delivering the entire creation from the bondage of corruption and delivering saints from sin through the body of Christ provides context which reveals that the signs of the woman and the dragon in Revelation 12:1-5 is the appearing of the sign of the Son of Man described in Matthew 24:30.

The sign of the woman in Revelation 12:1 signals the New Jerusalem ruling the created heavens to signify that the kingdoms of the world will soon become the kingdoms of Christ. Rev 11:15. The sign in Revelation 12:1 shows the woman wearing the sun, the moon and the stars. Jehovah Most High placed the sun, the moon and the stars in the heavens on the fourth day of creation. Gen 1:16-17. The sun, the moon and the stars account for all of the inhabitants of the created heavens. The sign shows the woman wearing the sun, the moon and the stars to signal that the woman will soon rule all of the created heavens with Christ. Revelation 12:10-12 further confirms this meaning of the sign by exhorting the heavens, and they that dwell in the heavens, to rejoice because salvation is now come to heaven. The sign shows the woman in the very last stages of childbirth, Rev 12:2, to signal that Christ will soon deliver the whole creation, including the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth, from the bondage of corruption in order for Christ to rule the new heavens and the new earth through the New Jerusalem. Rev 21:1-3. The woman in Revelation 12:1 is the New Jerusalem in heaven who will come down from heaven to rule the earth, Rev 21:2, after Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Rev 20:10. The second sign in heaven depicts Satan with horns and crowns, Rev 12:3, which are symbols of the agents which Satan uses to rule the world, Eph 6:12, to show that Christ is about to complete the process of taking the rule of the world away from Satan and giving rule of the world to the body of Christ. Dan 7:22, Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 11:15. The symbol shows the woman in the final pains of childbirth because Christ is already in the process of delivering the created heavens from the rule of the prince of the power of the air, Eph 2:2, and will soon deliver all of creation by delivering the earth. Rev 12:2. The devil then comes down to earth with great wrath because he knows that it is only a short time before Christ delivers the whole creation. Rev 12:12. Christ will complete the process of delivering the whole creation by making the kingdoms of the world the kingdoms of Christ when the seventh angel sounds. Rev 11:15.

The nineteenth Psalm is a prophecy of the appearing of the sign of the son of Man. The psalm declares that the heavens declare the glory of God. Ps 19:1. This foreshadows the woman clothed with the sun, the moon and the stars as the glorified church declaring the glory of God. Rev 12:1. The psalm describes the sun as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber. Ps 19:4-5. The woman is clothed with the sun to foreshadow the Lamb calling the glorified church to enjoy the marriage supper. Rev 19:9. The psalm declares that there is great reward in keeping the judgments of the Lord. Ps 19:11. This foreshadows the saints who overcome by the word of their testimony, Rev 12:11, receiving the great reward of ruling the nations in the first resurrection. Rev 2:26-27. Finally the psalm declares that Jehovah Most High keeps saints from the great transgression by cleansing them from secret faults, keeping them from presumptuous sin and keeping sin from having dominion over them. Ps 19:12-13. The great transgression is refusing to help to build the body of Christ by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul. The great transgression is mocking God by sowing to the flesh rather than helping to perfect the body of Christ by transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul by sowing to the Spirit. Gal 6:7-8. The reference to the great transgression in Psalms 19:12-13 foreshadows Christ rewarding every saint who is innocent from the great transgression because they helped to build the body of Christ and also foreshadows Christ disciplining every saint who is guilty of the great transgression because they failed to help to build the body of Christ because they sowed to the flesh rather than the Spirit.

The bible teaches that the whole creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God and that the whole creation will be delivered into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Ro 8:19-21. This teaching reveals that deliverance of the creation is closely tied to the perfecting of the body of Christ. Understanding the relationship between the abomination of desolation, Matt 24:15, the powers of heaven being shaken, Matt 24:29, and the appearing of the sign of the Son of man, Matt 24:30, provides context which enables the bible student to order the events in the book of Revelation which describe the process of Christ inspecting and perfecting the body of Christ and delivering the whole creation from corruption. Properly ordering the events which describe the perfection of the body of Christ and the deliverance of the whole creation enables the bible student to understand the book of Revelation.

Christ gives instructions in Matthew 24:4-30 which describes how the abomination of desolation, the powers of heaven being shaken and the appearing of the sign of the Son of man relate to the processes of inspecting and perfecting the body of Christ and delivering the whole creation from vanity and corruption. Christ declares that the events that He describes in Matthew 24:4-14 are the beginning of birth pains. Matt 24:8. Christ reveals that the birth process will intensify when saints see the abomination of desolation. Matt 24:15. Christ declares that the greatest tribulation for saints in world history will accompany the abomination of desolation, Matt 24:21, to confirm that the birth of the body of Christ and the whole creation is in the final stages. Christ then declares that the powers of heaven will be shaken immediately after the tribulation of those days. Matt 24:29. The powers of heaven being shaken signify that Christ has delivered the created heavens from the prince of the power of the air, Eph 2:2, and will soon deliver the whole creation. The following analysis shows that understanding how the appearing of the sign of the Son of man relates to the abomination of desolation reveals that the flight of saints to the place prepared for saints in the wilderness, Rev 12:6 & Rev 12:14, is the flight of saints in response to the abomination of desolation, Matt 24:15-16, which will happen in a short period of time, Matt 24:20-22, which will include the great tribulation for saints referred to in Matthew 24:21.

The Flight from the Abomination of Desolation

Serious students of the book of Revelation know that the book references a first 42 month time period defined by the testimony of the two witnesses, Rev 11:2-3, and a second 42 month time period defined by the rule of the beast, Rev 13:2, and divine judgment. Rev 14:6-11. The flight from the abomination of desolation references a third short transitional time period which transitions the world from the first 42 month period of saints witnessing into the second 42 month period of divine judgment. It is important to recognize this third short transitional time period because many events described in the book of Revelation and related passages occur in this time period. Ignorance of this short transitional time period has caused many of the greatest bible teachers to draw wrong conclusions that have prevented them from fully understanding the events of the Second Coming and the first resurrection.

Comparing Matthew 24:29 to Revelation 8:12-9:1 provides a good starting point for seeing that the period in which saints flee in response to the abomination of desolation is a short transitional period of time which includes the great tribulation for saints referred to in Matthew 24:21 by revealing when the period will end. Matthew 24:29 declares that immediately after the tribulation of the days of the great tribulation the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven. Revelation 8:12 and Revelation 9:1 declares that the day shall not shine for a third part and the night shall not shine for a third part when the fourth angel sounds the fourth trumpet and that a star falls from heaven, who is given the key to the bottomless pit, when the fifth angel sounds. Both the dragon, Rev 12:4, and the little horn, Dan 8:10, cause stars from heaven to fall to the earth. The days of the great tribulation for saints referred to in Matthew 24:21 will have passed by the time that the fifth angel sounds because the fifth angel sounds after the powers of heaven begin to be shaken which begins immediately after the tribulation of the days which includes the great tribulation for saints.

The description of the opening of the fifth and sixth seals further confirms that the sign of the Son of man will appear shortly after a short transitional period of flight in response to the abomination of desolation and before the beast begins to reign which will include the great tribulation referred to in Matthew 24:21. When the fifth seal is opened, Scripture declares that martyred saints must wait for a little season until the remainder of saints who receive white robes through martyrdom have been killed. Rev 6:11-13. Stars then fall from heaven when the sixth seal is opened, Rev 6:12-13, and a vision then appears of many saints who have come out of this great tribulation for saints and have made their robes white by washing them in the blood of the Lamb. Rev 7:9-14. These martyred saints have come out of great tribulation which ends for them and all saints sometime between the opening of the fifth seal in Rev 6:9 and the sounding of the sixth trumpet in Rev 9:13. This great tribulation through which these saints wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb occurs between the opening of the fifth seal and the sounding of the sixth trumpet in the short transitional period of flight in response to the abomination of desolation.

The book of Luke declares that the time of desolation will be near, Luke 21:20, then declares that there will be great distress in the land on the people of God, Luke 21:23, then declares that some will fall by the sword and that others will be led away captive to all nations, Luke 21:24, and then declares that the powers of heaven will be shaken. Luke 21:26. The passage also implies that this is a certain period of time by declaring that these will be the days of vengeance that must be fulfilled. Luke 21:22. Placing these events in the order stated means that some will fall by the sword during the period of great distress which will occur between the start of the abomination of desolation and the start of the powers of heaven being shaken. These saints who fall by the sword in this short transitional period of great distress for saints are the saints who will come out of great tribulation by washing their robes in the blood of the Lamb in the short period of transition from the first 42 month period of witnessing into the second 42 month period of divine judgment.

Comparing the revelation that many saints will be killed in a “little season,” Rev 6:11, with the revelation that a seventh king must rule for a “short space” before the beast rules, Rev 17:10-11, further reveals that this great tribulation for martyred saints occurs in a short period of flight during which Satan uses the seventh king to kill as many saints as possible. Rev 12:17. The bible reveals that this period of flight will start when saints see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel, Matt 24:15, and flee to the place prepared for saints in the wilderness. Rev 12:6. The abomination of desolation will begin 1,290 days before the end. Dan 12:11. Those who make it to this place in the wilderness will be nourished there for 1,260 days. Rev 12:6. We can conclude from these two time periods that the days of flight will be about 30 days starting with the abomination of desolation and ending with the start of the beast’s rule.

Christ Jesus instructs saints to flee when they see the abomination of desolation. Matt 24:15-16. Christ Jesus further implies that this will be a short period of time by declaring that those days will have such great tribulation, Matt 24:21, that they will be shortened to save the flesh of some saints. Matt 24:22. Comparing Matthew 24:29 to Revelation 8:12-9:1 reveals that this period of flight, which will involve great tribulation, will begin and end between the opening of the fifth seal and the sounding of the sixth trumpet before the beast begins to rule. The bible then declares that the powers of heaven shall be shaken and the sign of the Son of man will appear. Matt 24:29-30. These revelations show us that the signs in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation is the sign of the appearing of the Son of man which will appear immediately after the short transitional period of flight to signal that Christ Jesus will soon judge Satan and the beast and replace the kingdoms of this world with the kingdoms of God.

Understanding the meaning and timing of the events in Matthew 24:29 unlocks the meaning and timing of the events in Matthew 24:30. Matthew 24:30 states that the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven, that all the tribes of the earth shall mourn and that they shall see the Son of man coming with power and glory. The sign of the Son of man that will appear in heaven is the sign of the woman clothed with the sun in Rev 12:1 and the dragon trying to devour the child in Rev 12:2-5. The reference to all the tribes of the earth mourning refers to Jehovah Most High bringing the hour of temptation to impose divine judgment on the whole world during the entire reign of the beast, Rev 3:10 & Rev 16:2, and to the beast’s cruel reign over the entire earth. Rev 12:12 & Rev 13:7. All the tribes of the earth will also mourn during this time because Christ destroys the evil systems of the world which have given them both pleasure and riches. Rev 18:9-11. The reference to the Son of man coming with power and glory refers to Christ actually fulfilling the sign of the Son of man by returning, Rev 19:11-16, after Christ has destroyed the evil systems which have given the enemies of God pleasure and riches.

All of this shows that the bible refers to a third short transitional period, which transitions the world from the first 42 month period of witnessing to the second 42 month period of divine judgement. The bible uses these three periods to describe the events of the Second Coming leading up to the first resurrection. For example, Matthew 24:7-30 is divided into these three periods. Matthew 24:7-14 describes a period in which nation will rise against nation, there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes and in which the gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all nations. The book of Mark and the book of Luke both reveal that Christ will empower saints to witness in this period. Mk 13:11 & Luke 21:13-15. This is the first 42 month period during which Christ empowers the two witnesses to testify to the whole earth. Rev 11:3-5. Matthew 24:15-28 then describes the short period of flight during which Christ instructs saints to flee instead of testifying, Matt 24:16, while angels preach the everlasting gospel to the entire world to warn men to refuse to worship the beast. Rev 14:6-10. The phrase “immediately after the tribulation of those days” in Matthew 24:29 reveals that Matthew 24:29-30 refers to the second 42 month period in which Jehovah Most High confines Satan and fallen angels to the earth and causes the tribes of the earth to mourn by imposing divine judgment and destroying the evil world systems of wealth and power distribution. The bible divides the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:7-30 by the three categories of the two 42 month time periods and the third transitional period.

There is substantial overlap among the three time periods in the book of Revelation but the bible dedicates large portions of the book to each of the three time periods. For example, the opening of the first five seals describes events which occur almost exclusively in the first time period of the 42 months of witnessing. Chapter 12 of the book of Revelation describes events which happen almost exclusively in the short period of flight and chapters 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the book of Revelation describe events which happen almost exclusively in the 42 month rule of the beast and of divine judgment. The following analysis shows that the events described in Chapter 12 occur primarily in the short period of flight.

All of the events in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation can be grouped into four categories: (1) saints fleeing, Rev 12:6 & Rev 12:14, (2) intense persecution of the saints, Rev 12:11-17, (3) war in heaven, Rev Rev 12:7-9, and (4) signs. Rev 12:1-5. Matthew 24:15-30 refers to (1) saints fleeing in response to the abomination of desolation, Matt 24:15-22, (2) saints suffering great persecution, Matt 24:21, (3) war in heaven signified by stars in heaven falling, Matt 24:29 and (4) signs, Matt 24:23-28, concluding with the sign of the Son of man appearing. Matt 24:30. This correlation shows that the events described in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation occur primarily in the short period of flight described in Matthew 24:15-28. The ability to match passages such as those in the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation with the three revealed time periods unlocks the meaning of some of the deepest mysteries of the book of Revelation. Understanding the relationships among the three time periods reveals that the short transitional period of flight transitions the world from the first 42 month time period into the second 42 month time period to set the stage for Christ to judge the current world system which distributes wealth and power to the enemies of God and to judge every person according to their deeds. Matt 16:27.

Christ Jesus the Lord will judge every person at the Second Coming. 2 Cor 5:10. Every person will receive one of three basic judgments to be carried out in the first resurrection. Rev 20:5. One of the major purposes of the first resurrection is for Christ to execute the judgment that He imposes on every person who has ever lived when He returns to reward every man according to their deeds. Matt 16:27. This process settles all accounts between Christ and every person who has ever lived so that all who believed in Christ can receive equal blessings in eternity and all who rejected Christ can receive equal condemnation in eternity. John 3:36. Saints who are found to be vessels of honor will rule with Christ in the first resurrection, Rev 20:4-6, and after the Great White Throne judgment. Rev 20:11. Saints who are found to be vessels of dishonor will suffer for Christ in the first resurrection, Mal 3:2-3, and rule with Christ after the Great White Throne judgment. Christ imposes suffering on dishonorable saints in the first resurrection so that these saints can receive equal honor with all other saints in eternity. Ro 8:29-30 & Heb 2:10. Non-saints will suffer condemnation in the first resurrection, John 5:29, and be cast into the lake of fire for eternity. Rev 20:15. The most evil non-saints suffer more than less evil non-saints in the first resurrection so that all non-saints can righteously suffer equally in eternity. This process plays a major role in both perfecting the body of Christ, Eph 5:26-27, and in enabling Christ to righteously treat all saints equally in eternity for believing in Christ and to treat all non-saints equally in eternity for not believing in Christ. One of the major purposes of Christ returning to raise all from the grave, John 5:28-29 & 1 Cor 15:51-52, is for Christ to divide all of humanity into three groups of faithful saints, unfaithful saints and non-saints so that Christ can execute three types of judgments.

Christ Raises the Dead to Judge all Who Have Ever Lived

Christ will raise all from the dead on the last day to divide all who have ever lived into three categories so that He can repay people in the first resurrection for what they did and then judge people for eternity only by whether they believed in Christ. Christ will divide people into three categories by first having His angels to sever the wicked who will spend eternity in the first Adam from the just who will spend eternity in the last Adam. Matt 13:49 & 1 Cor 15:45. Christ will then separate those who will spend eternity in the last Adam between those who built with gold, silver and precious stones, 1 Cor 3:14, and those who built with wood hay and stubble. 1 Cor 3:15. This process will create a category of faithful saints who will receive the reward of ruling with Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection, 1 Cor 3:14 & Rev 20:4-6, a second category of unfaithful saints who will suffer the loss of having to be saved by fire in the day of the Lord to be perfected with refining fire, Mal 3:2-4, 1 Cor 3:15 & 1 Cor 5:5, and a third category of non-saints who will be repaid in the first resurrection according to their deeds, Matt 16:27, so that they can be judged for eternity at the Great White Throne judgment only for rejecting Christ. Rev 20:11-15.

Christ will raise all from the dead so that everyone who has ever lived can be divided into these three categories of people who will receive these three types of judgments in the first resurrection so that the only issue for eternity is whether one believed in Christ. This process of raising all from the dead so that all can be repaid in the first resurrection will happen on the last day. The bible teaches that all that the Father has given Christ will be raised on the last day, John 6:39, and that everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him will be raised on the last day, John 6:40, and that all that the Father draws to Christ will be raised on the last day, John 6:44, and that all who eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ will be raised on the last day. John 6:54. The bible also teaches that Lazarus, whom Christ raised from the grave, will be raised in the resurrection on the last day. John 11:24. These verses work together to teach that all saints who die will be raised when Christ returns on the last day. The bible also teaches that all who reject Christ will be raised on the last day to be judged by the word. John 12:48. Every person in history who has died will be raised on the last day so that all who have ever lived can repaid in the first resurrection for what they did on earth so that everyone receives blessing or suffering in eternity only for believing in Christ or rejecting Christ.

There is a very close connection between the process that raises saints to life and perfecting the body of Christ. The process of Christ raising all from the dead to execute three types of judgment plays a major role in perfecting the body of Christ because the judgment of unperfected saints, Mal 3:2-4, completes the perfection of the body of Christ by perfecting all unperfected members of the body of Christ. Ro 12:5, Eph 5:25-30 & Col 1:27-28. The bible teaches that all saints are baptized into the body of Christ in order for all saints to be raised in newness of life. Ro 6:3-6. The bible also teaches that all are placed in the body of Christ in order for all to be made alive. 1 Cor 15:22. Christ completes the process of making all who are in Christ alive by refining unperfected saints in the day of the Lord, Mal 3:2-4, so that every saint fulfills their destiny of being glorified and conformed into the image of Christ, Ro 8:29-30, so that the body of Christ is made perfect without spot or wrinkle. Eph 5:26-27. The act of raising all from the dead plays a major role in Christ perfecting the body of Chris by perfecting all unperfected saints.

The parable of the wheat and the tares confirms that the dead will rise on the last day so that all can be judged for the first resurrection. The passage teaches that the harvest happens at the end of the world, Matt 13:49, and that at that time, the tares will first be gathered to be burned in the fire, Matt 13:30 & Matt 13:40, and then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matt 13:43. Comparing the parable of the wheat and the tares with the reference to the two sharp sickles in the book of Revelation, Rev 14:14-20, reveals that Christ will raise the dead on the last day so that the angels can divide the wicked of the first Adam from the just of last Adam on the last day. Matt 13:49. Christ will first raise the dead by thrusting in His sharp sickle and reaping the earth. Rev 14:16. This will result in all who have ever lived being alive on the earth. An angel will then gather all the wicked from among the just by thrusting in his sharp sickle and cast the wicked into the great winepress of the wrath of God. Rev 14:19. Matthew 13:30 and Matthew 13:40-42 reveals that the angel will thrust in his sharp sickle as described in Revelation 14:19 to separate the wicked from the just only after the earth has been harvested by raising the dead on the last day.

Christ will raise the dead by harvesting the earth with His sharp sickle to raise the dead in Christ so that all faithful saints can be gathered to Christ. 1 Thess 4:16-17. The dead in Christ will rise first when all are raised from the dead. Christ will then gather all faithful saints to Himself. But two things will happen before Christ gathers faithful saints to Himself. First the angels will gather the wicked of the first Adam out from among the just of the last Adam. Matt 13:30 & Rev 14:19. Then the angels will gather out of God’s kingdom all things that offend, Matt 13:41, by gathering all saints who have built with wood, hay and stubble to be perfected with refining fire in the day of the Lord. Mal 3:2-4. Christ will then gather to Himself all faithful saints who are dead and all faithful saints who are alive when He returns. 1 Thess 4:16-17. The revelation of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 is that death will certainly not prevent Christ from gathering to Himself all faithful saints who have died along with all faithful saints who are alive when He returns. 1 Thess 4:15. Christ will gather all saints who have died and all saints who remain to execute one type of judgment on faithful saints and another type of judgment on unfaithful saints in the first resurrection. The next section of this paper further explains how Christ imposes two separate judgments on perfected saints and unperfected saints in the first resurrection so that all saints can enjoy maximum, equal blessings in eternity.

Two Types of Judgment for the Children of God

The Day of Atonement ritual is actually a foreshadowing of how Jehovah Most High will pass out two types of judgment on the children of God for the first resurrection. Lev 16:1-34. The Day of Atonement involved a bull, a ram and two goats. Lev 16:3-5. The bull represents the offering of Christ, which is acceptable, and the ram represents the offering for the entire body of Christ, which is also acceptable. The two goats represent offerings for two categories of people in the body of Christ. The Lord’s lot falls on one of the goats to represent the people in the body of Christ who accepted the same lot in life as the Lord did, Lev 16:9, by transforming their natural souls into spiritual souls. The priest offers this goat to the Lord slain because this goat represents saints who lost their lives by denying themselves, taking up their crosses and following Christ. Luke 9:23-24. This goat on which the Lord’s lot falls represents saints who are acceptable to Christ at the Judgment Seat of Christ because they transformed their natural souls into spiritual souls, John 12:24-26, by losing their souls to save them. Luke 9:24.

The scapegoat’s lot falls on the other goat. This goat represents all of the people in the body of Christ who are rejected at the Judgment Seat of Christ because they refused to transform their natural souls into spiritual souls by denying themselves, taking up their cross and following Christ. The priest presents this goat alive before the Lord, Lev 16:10, because this goat represents saints who chose to save their lives by loving their lives in this world. John 12:25. This foreshadows the members of the body of Christ who will lose their lives by trying to save them. Luke 9:24. Christ sends this goat into the wilderness to foreshadow that every saint who tries to save his life in this world will lose their life at the Judgment Seat of Christ and have to endure a thousand years of suffering in the first resurrection before saving their lives and living again after the thousand years are completed. Rev 20:5. The parable of the sheep and the goats also foreshadows how Christ will deal with saints who will be accepted at the Judgment Seat of Christ and with saints who will be rejected at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Matt 25:31-46. Understanding two specific dynamics of judgment in the first resurrection helps to confirm that the parable of the sheep and the goats foreshadows the two judgments that Christ will pass on saints.

The first dynamic is that the term “eternal judgment”, which is the same as “everlasting judgment” in the Greek, refers to a type of judgment rather than a duration of judgment. The bible teaches that the Lord God will cast unbelievers into the lake of fire after the thousand years of the first resurrection is finished. Rev 20:7-15. But the bible also teaches that Christ will take vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the gospel by punishing them with eternal punishment when Christ returns. 2 Thess 1:6-10. This eternal punishment does not last forever, but rather occurs during the thousand years of the first resurrection and ends when Christ judges all in the first Adam at the Great White Throne judgment and casts them into the lake of fire. This punishment is eternal in that it is extremely intense because it was prepared for eternal creatures including Satan and his angels. Matt 25:46. The Lord designed salvation to purify saints through affliction designed for humans which the bible refers to as light and momentary affliction. 2 Cor 4:17. But Christ will use the intense type of eternal punishment prepared for the devil and his angles, Matt 25:46, to purify every saint, Mal 3:2-4, who fails to transform their natural souls into spiritual souls by enduring light, momentary affliction. 2 Cor 4:17.

The second dynamic which helps to confirm that the parable of the sheep and the goats foreshadows the two judgments which Christ passes on saints is that the bible repeatedly refers to two types of saints. The bible refers to saints as those who will receive rewards, 1 Cor 3:14, and those who will suffer loss. 1 Cor 3:15. The bible refers to saints as those who live after the flesh and die and those who live after the Spirit and live. Ro 8:13. The bible refers to saints as those who walk in the Spirit and those who fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Gal 5:16. The bible refers to saints as those who are vessels of honor in the great household of God and those who are vessels of dishonor. 2 Tim 2:20. The bible refers to saints as those who suffer with Christ and reign and those who deny Christ and are denied. Luke 12:9 & 2 Tim 2:12. The bible refers to saints as those who produce herbs fit for God by continually taking in the word, Heb 6:7, and those saints who Christ rejects because they produce thorns and briars instead of herbs fit for God. Heb 6:8. Finally, the bible refers to spiritual saints and carnal saints. 1 Cor 3:1. All of these references warn us that Christ will find one group of saints acceptable and another group of saints unacceptable at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Let’s now take a look at how the parable of the sheep and the goats foreshadows Christ passing two types of judgment on saints at the Judgment Seat of Christ keeping in mind the principles that eternal judgment refers to the intense type of judgment designed for fallen angels, Matt 25:41, and that the bible repeatedly divides saints as a whole into one group of acceptable saints and another group of unacceptable saints. The sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:33 are the Lord’s goat and the scapegoat in the Day of Atonement ceremony. Lev 16:9-10. They are both goats in Leviticus 16:9-10 to emphasize that man cannot tell the acceptable from the unacceptable. They are sheep and goats in Matt 25:33 to emphasize that Christ knows His sheep, John 10:14, and will perfectly divide the acceptable from the unacceptable. The sheep in the passage inherit the kingdom prepared for them, Matt 25:34, which refers to them ruling with Christ for a thousand years in the first resurrection, Rev 20:4, while the goats temporarily suffer the type of eternal judgment prepared for eternal creatures. Matt 25:41.

The gospels of Mathew, Mark and Luke each records the instructions of Christ in how to inherit the blessings of the kingdom of Christ. Matt 19:16-21; Mark 10:17-21 & Luke 18:18-22. Each gospel instructs the saint to sell all, give to the poor and follow Christ. Each of these are instructions to transform the natural soul into a spiritual soul to save the natural life by losing it. The reference to sheep inheriting the kingdom prepared for them, Matt 25:34, refers to sheep inheriting kingdoms in the first resurrection because they transformed their natural souls into spiritual souls by selling all, giving to the poor and following Christ. The goats in the passage are saints who endure the type of eternal punishment that was designed for angels and not men, Matt 25:41, because these saints failed to follow Christ by investing all in the kingdom. Matt 25:41-43.

Jehovah Most High gave Living Stream Ministries the privilege of broadcasting this revelation of how some saints will rule with Christ in the first resurrection while other saints will have to endure a thousand years of suffering in the first resurrection before ruling with Christ in eternity. Jehovah Most High gave me this revelation independently of Living Stream Ministries to confirm the truth and importance of the revelation. Jehovah Most High also gave me additional insight into this revelation including the dynamics of transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul, John 12:24-26, the meaning and timing of the appearing of the sign of the Son of Man, Matt 24:30, and the foreshadowing of the types of judgments on saints in the Day of Atonement ritual, Lev 16:1-34, and in the parable of the sheep and goats. Matt 25:31-46. The next part of this paper shows that the Lord God has designed the transformed soul to give the saint permanent joy in both the best and worst seasons of life.

The Joy of Transforming the Soul

Fully transforming the soul will enter you into a final, permanent season of joy in this mortal life. John 15:11 & 1 John 1:3-4. You will have bad days, but the Lord God has designed the fully transformed soul to fill you with joy through the many trials that you will face, James 1:2-4, through life’s seasons of heaviness designed to glorify Christ, 1 Pet 1:6-8, and even through the worst persecutions that man can inflict on you. Matt 5:11-12. The Lord God gives every willing saint maximum wisdom and spiritual understanding to reveal to those saints that the will of God is for every saint to help to build the body of Christ by transforming the soul. Col 1:9. That maximum wisdom and spiritual understanding enables the saint to please God and be fruitful in the work of accomplishing God’s will by transforming the soul. Col 1:10. This process transforms the saint into a person with maximum spiritual strength which enables the saint to exercise patience and experience joy in even the most challenging seasons of life. Col 1:11.

The Lord God equips the transformed soul to give the saint deep, enduring, overflowing joy because the process of transforming the soul calls for many saints to give up everything just as it called for the 11 apostles to give up everything, Matt 19:27 and called for the apostle Paul to give up everything. Php 3:8. Fully transformed saints are exceedingly joyful in all of their tribulations. 2 Cor 7:4. This is the same joy that Jesus endured the cross to attain. Heb 12:2. The Lord God has designed the transformed soul to give saints the joy that everyone in the world works so hard to attain. But here is the catch. You must be willing to give up all to transform your soul to receive this joy. If you help to perfect the body of Christ by giving up all to transform your natural soul into a spiritual soul, you will receive the reward of entering into a final, permanent season of deep joy in this mortal life regardless of your circumstances and you will rule with Christ in the first resurrection.

Conclusion

The following excerpts from On the Incarnation by Athanasius explains how to use this paper to develop your own understanding of the first resurrection and the book of Revelation: “This will give you a beginning, and you must go on to prove its truth by study of the Scriptures. They were written and inspired by God; and we, who have learned from inspired teachers who read the Scriptures and became martyrs for the Godhead of Christ, make further contribution to your eagerness to learn. From the Scriptures you will learn also of His second manifestation to us, glorious and divine indeed, when He shall come not in lowliness but in His proper glory, no longer in humiliation but in majesty, no longer to suffer but to bestow on us all the fruit of His cross – the resurrection and incorruptibility…. But for the searching and right understanding of the Scriptures there is need of a good life and a pure soul, and for Christian virtue to guide the mind to grasp, so far as human nature can, the truth concerning God the Word. One cannot possibly understand the teaching of the saints unless one has a pure mind and is trying to imitate their life…. Similarly, anyone who wishes to understand the mind of the sacred writers must first cleanse his own life, and approach the saints by copying their deeds. Thus united to them in the fellowship of life, he will both understand the things revealed to them by God and, thenceforth escaping the peril that threatens sinners in the judgment, will receive that which is laid up for the saints in the kingdom of heaven.”

In a nutshell, the conclusion by Athanasius teaches that the saint will understand the revelations about the Second Coming and receive the rewards of the first resurrection if the saint commits to transforming the natural soul into a spiritual soul by purifying self and commits to studying the great bible teachers of history to study and understand the Scriptures. You can use this process to prove the truth of this paper by studying the teachings of great bible teachers on this subject including the teachings of Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Nelson Darby, Robert Govett, Oswald Chambers, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Sperry Chafer, Robert B. Thieme, Jr., Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. I have used this process to develop an understanding of the first resurrection and the book of Revelation based on an understanding of the six biblical doctrines discussed in this paper.

My study of the most famous bible teachers of history that I could find revealed to me that Jehovah Most High gave Darby and Govett the privilege of producing bible teaching which came very close to completely explaining the book of Revelation. But Jehovah Most High has evidently reserved the privilege of explaining the last truths of the book of Revelation to bible teachers who would come later because Darby and Govett both failed to see that Christ is coming once at the end of the second 42 month period to gather all saints and all unbelievers for judgment. Jehovah Most High revealed to me that the signs of the woman and the dragon in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation is the appearing of the sign of the Son of man in Matthew 24:30 as I studied the teachings of Darby and Govett on the gathering of the saints to try to build on those teachings to better explain the true revelation of the gathering of the saints. Many of the greatest bible teachers in history have failed to properly understand Revelation 12:1-5 because they failed to see that the passage describes a sign rather than actual events. By showing me that the passage describes the sign of the Son of man, Jehovah Most High led me to several additional revelations (including the revelation that Jehovah Most High uses a short transitional period of flight to set the stage for the final judgment of the world) which can enable the bible student to receive a much more complete, cohesive understanding of the book of Revelation.

Jehovah God’s Salvation Message to 21^st Century Saints

Over a period of more than 1,000 years, Jehovah God used Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Martin Luther to produce bible teaching that guides tens of millions of 21^st century saints in developing their understanding of the bible. Chapter 2 of the book Deification and Grace by Daniel A. Keating documents that those five bible teachers all embraced the teaching known as the formula of exchange. This formula of exchange teaching teaches that God became man so that men might become gods. Chapter 5 of Deification and Grace documents that Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas and Luther all taught that the formula of exchange teaching is valid and correct because Jehovah God makes saints gods through participation in Christ by grace.

This twelve page paper teaches that Jehovah God has continued to use bible teachers through the 20^th century to produce bible teaching that enables saints to see that God became man so that saints might become gods through participation in Christ to replace Satan as the god of this earth. 2 Cor 4:4. The next four pages of this paper show that this paper has carefully relied on core Church Fathers bible teaching and core Reformers bible teaching to safely and reliably provide additional insights into Jehovah God’s plan of salvation. Evidently, Jehovah God has ordained to use a small number of bible teachers throughout history to produce bible teaching designed to guide millions of saints in safely and reliably developing an increasingly clear and complete understanding of Jehovah God’s plan of salvation.

This paper shows how combining the teachings of great bible teachers such as Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas and Luther with the teachings of great bible teachers, who lived in the 16^th century through the 20^th century, provides additional insights that enable bible students to see that Jehovah God designed salvation to transform saints into gods to replace Satan as the god of the earth. The following five points combine with the teaching of Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas and Luther to confirm the revelation that God uses saints to replace Satan as the god of this earth by showing that the bible teaches quite plainly that saints who follow Christ inherit kingdoms and judge the world and angels:

Saints who follow Christ inherit kingdoms and judge the world and angels. Matt 19:27-30, Matt 25:31-34, 1 Cor 6:2-3, Rev 2:26-27 & Rev 21:7.
Saints receive these inherited kingdoms by receiving an incorruptible crown of glory, righteousness, and life when Christ appears at the Second Coming. 1 Cor 9:25, 1 Pet 5:4, James 1:12 & 2 Tim 4:8.
Satan is the ruler of the world and the ruler of angels prior to the Second Coming. 2 Cor 4:4, John 12:31, John 14:30, John 16:11, Matt 9:34, Matt 12:24 & Mk 3:22.
Jehovah God takes the kingdoms of this world from Satan and gives them to Christ and saints when Christ appears at the Second Coming. Rev 11:15-17 & Rev 16:10.
Jehovah God designed salvation to make saints gods, John 10:34-36, by making saints partakers of the divine nature, 2 Pet 1:4, in order for saints to inherit the kingdom of Jehovah God and Christ, 2 Pet 1:10-11, and replace Satan as the god of this world. 2 Cor 4:4.

The bible verses cited in the five points above make it clear that the bible teaches that saints will quite literally inherit kingdoms and rule the world and angels in the age to come. Combining the revelation that saints will literally become kings and rule the world with the proven centuries old teaching that Jehovah God makes saints gods reveals that Jehovah God designed salvation to makes saints gods who replace Satan as the god of the earth. The remaining teaching in this twelve page paper provides you with enough information to build your own foundation for understanding and applying this revelation.

The Two Great Theological Maps

(Church Father and Reformation Doctrine)

This article explains that saints should learn to use Church Fathers doctrine and Reformers doctrine effectively and intentionally to understand the bible because almost all bible teaching today relies on Church Fathers doctrine, Reformers doctrine or both to explain the bible.

In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis points out that theological doctrines are like maps. He notes that those doctrinal maps have developed from real revelations that hundreds of bible teachers have received from Jehovah God. He further notes that bible students cannot get far in studying the bible without doctrinal maps and that trying to do so is very dangerous.

Over time, Jehovah God has used bible teachers to develop 2 great doctrinal maps for studying the bible: the Church Fathers doctrinal map and the Reformers doctrinal map. Each of these doctrinal maps guides tens of millions of 21^st century saints in using bible study to gain an understanding of Jehovah God’s plan of salvation. But these 2 great doctrinal maps give very different guidance about certain parts of the bible. This article shows how combining the strengths of the 2 maps enables bible students to receive important information about salvation from Jehovah God through the bible that cannot be received from using only either one or the other of the doctrinal maps.

To get an idea of why combining the maps provides better information, please imagine that each of 2 maps of the earth has millions of followers. Imagine that one map works better in Asia, Australia and North America. Imagine that the other map works better in Europe, Africa and South America. I’m sure you can see that you could make one better map by combining the best parts of the 2 maps.

In the same way, this twelve page paper shows that combining the best parts of the 2 doctrinal maps produces a better map that produces a better view of the bible and salvation. This paper rests on the simple premise that you can find more of the truth about salvation by using both of the great doctrinal maps that Jehovah God has provided for studying the bible. As an example, this paper shows that combining 4^th century Eastern Church Fathers doctrine on deification with 20^th century Dallas Theological Seminary Reformers doctrine on the attributes of Satan enables the bible student to see that a major purpose of salvation is for Jehovah God to transform saints into supernatural creatures who replace Satan as the god of the earth. 2 Cor 4:4.

It will help you to get the most out of this paper if you understand and keep in mind that every bible student uses doctrinal maps to understand the bible whether they realize it or not. When you seek guidance from bible teachers in understanding the bible, the guidance that they give you comes from doctrinal maps. They are telling you what someone has told them which almost always goes back to the Church Fathers doctrinal map, the Reformers doctrinal map or both.

God has evidently provided the Church Fathers doctrinal map and the Reformers doctrinal map to provide a safe and reliable way for saints to receive a more complete, concise, clear understanding of salvation. Most saints will find it very difficult to believe that a major purpose of salvation is for Jehovah God to transform saints into supernatural creatures who replace Satan as the god of this earth. But rigorous examination of the teaching in this paper reveals that integrating the core teachings of the Church Fathers doctrinal map and the Reformers doctrinal map confirms that a major purpose of salvation is for saints to become supernatural creatures who replace Satan as the god of the earth.

An Example of the Value of Theological Maps

Jehovah God called and used Athanasius to lead the effort that convinced the Church to adopt the creed that teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Word, has always existed. A theological debate raged in the 4^th Century as to whether God the Son has always existed or whether God the Father created God the Son. At one point, the view that God the Son has always existed came very, very close to winning out. Later on, the view that God the Father had created God the Son came very close to winning out. The Church came very close to adopting a creed that taught that God the Father created the Word and to making it illegal to teach that the Word has always existed. Bible teachers, led by Athanasius, finally convinced the entire Church to adopt the creed that teaches that God the Son has always existed.

Jehovah God used Athanasius to write a paper entitled “On the Incarnation” that played a key role in the Church ultimately adopting the creed that teaches that the Word has always existed. The paper, On the Incarnation by Athanasius, made the tremendous contribution to the Church Fathers doctrinal map that God the Son has always existed. In Chapter 8, Paragraph 54 of On the Incarnation, Athanasius stated: “He, indeed, assumed humanity, that we might become god.” Recall that Irenaeus, Augustine, Athanasius, Thomas Aquinas and Martin Luther all accepted the revelation that God the Son become man so that man might become god.

Jehovah God put the truth that God the Son has always existed and the truth that God the Son became man so that man might become god through participation in Christ by grace in the same theological map. To accept one without accepting the other would be like believing that Highway Interstate 10 runs from Houston to San Antonio but does not run from Houston to Beaumont. The problem with not believing that Interstate 10 runs from Houston to Beaumont is that it prevents you from ever learning that Interstate 10 runs from Houston to New Orleans. This is the state of many saints today regarding the truth that God the Son became man so that man might become god through participation in Christ.

At the end of the 4^th Century the great bible teachers of the Church believed that man becomes god through participation in Christ by grace more strongly than they believed that God the Son has always existed. Over time Satan, the god of this age, blinded a large part of the Church to the truth that saints become god through participation in Christ by grace. 2 Cor 4:4. Being blinded to the truth that saints become god through participation in Christ has blinded saints to the further vital truth that salvation makes saints gods through participation in Christ to replace Satan as the god of the earth at the Second Coming just as being blinded to the fact that Interstate 10 runs from Houston to Beaumont blinds one to the fact that the highway runs from Houston to New Orleans.

The Conclusion to On the Incarnation speaks prophetically to that blindness about the Second Coming. The conclusion states: “This will give you a beginning but you must go on to prove its truth by the study of the Scriptures…. From the Scriptures you will also learn of His Second Manifestation to us, glorious and divine indeed, … to bestow on us all the fruit of His cross – the resurrection and incorruptibility.” The quoted language prophetically states that a full, correct understanding of why Christ came the first time will lead to a full, correct understanding of why Christ is coming the second time. This paper shows that understanding that Christ came as a man the first time so that saints can become gods leads to the full, correct understanding that Christ is coming back to replace Satan as the god of the earth with saints as the gods of the earth. The next article in this paper shows how Jehovah God used Lewis Sperry Chafer to provide additional teaching that reveals that saints will replace Satan as the god of the earth.

The Testimony of Dallas Theological Seminary

(Proof that Jehovah God Continues to Provide Vital Insights into Salvation)

Lewis Sperry Chafer founded Dallas Theological Seminary in the 1920’s. He founded the seminary to provide a platform for spreading bible teaching that began to develop in the 19^th century. The following information based on the Dallas Theological Seminary view of the book of Revelation proves that Jehovah God is still using bible teachers in the 21^st century to produce teaching designed to guide millions of saints in better understanding salvation just as the Church Fathers and the Reformers produced teaching that increased the understanding of salvation. This is also an example of how bible students can use the Church Fathers doctrinal map and the Reformers doctrinal map to safely and reliably receive a more complete, detailed understanding of Jehovah God’s plan of salvation.

Millions of saints believe a theological doctrine which teaches that the book of Revelation provides a detailed description of literal future events. Development of this doctrinal view began less than 200 years ago. The Dallas Theological Seminary version of this doctrine provides a good representation of this view of the book of Revelation. This doctrinal view of the book of Revelation presents information which could not be found prior to the 19^th century. The view paints a detailed picture of Satan as the god of this world, 2 Cor 4:4, as part of an overall view that the book of Revelation describes the judgment of Satan in detail. All evidence suggests that this view of the book of Revelation which Jehovah God used bible teachers to develop in the 19^th century and 20^th century will continue to guide millions of saints in studying the bible until Christ appears at the Second Coming.

Jehovah God designed this theological view to guide all bible students because the information developed in this theological view about Satan being the god of this world is necessary to understand that Jehovah God designed salvation to replace Satan as the god of this world with saints as the gods of the earth, Ps 82:6, as part of Jehovah God’s judgment of Satan. Rev 20:2-10. This view of the book of Revelation presents detailed teaching that Satan rules the world prior to the Second Coming and that saints rule the earth after the Second Coming. That detailed teaching provides the basis for concluding that Jehovah God uses salvation to judge Satan by using saints to replace Satan as the god of this world.

This theological view relies on bible verses such as Revelation 13:2-4 and Revelation 16:10 to conclude that Satan literally rules the world prior to the Second Coming. The theological view relies on bible verses such as Revelation 1:6, Revelation 2:26-27, Revelation 5:10 and Revelation 20:4-6 to conclude that saints literally rule the earth after the Second Coming. A detailed study of the relationship between the literal rule of Satan until the Second Coming and the literal rule of saints after the Second Coming reveals that Jehovah God uses salvation to judge Satan by replacing Satan as the god of this world with saints as the rulers of the earth.

Evidently, Jehovah God used bible teachers in the 19^th century and 20^th century to develop this detailed bible teaching presenting Satan as the god of this world to help saints to see that a major purpose of salvation is to judge Satan by replacing Satan as the god of this world with saints as the gods of the earth. It follows that Jehovah God designed His plan to wait until the 21^st century to reveal this major insight into salvation to the entire world. It also follows that Jehovah God is still using bible teachers in the 21^st century to produce teaching designed to provide additional important insights into the plan of salvation just as Jehovah God used the Church Fathers and the Reformers to produce teaching that provided important insights into the plan of salvation.

Using Theological Maps to Receive a Reward in the Kingdom of Heaven

This will give you a beginning, and you must go on to prove its truth by the study of the Scriptures. They were written and inspired by God; and we, who have learned from the inspired teachers who read the Scriptures and became martyrs for the Godhead of Christ, make further contribution to your eagerness to learn…. Similarly, anyone who wishes to understand the mind of the sacred writers must first cleanse his own life and approach the saints by copying their deeds. Thus united to them in the fellowship of life, he will both understand the things revealed to them by God and thenceforth, escaping the peril that threatens sinners in the judgment, will receive that which is laid up for the saints in the kingdom of heaven. On the Incarnation, Chapter 9, Paragraphs 56 & 57.

The extended excerpt above from the conclusion of On the Incarnation describes the process for attaining an understanding of the Scriptures that secures for the bible student a reward in the kingdom of heaven. The student must first be eager to learn. The conclusion then instructs the bible student to gain a good beginning understanding of a doctrine by reading a good introduction of that doctrine from one of the great bible teachers of history. The conclusion instructs the student to build out that beginning understanding by studying what the Bible and other great bible teachers have said about that doctrine. The conclusion teaches that bible students who engage in this process while developing the mentality of the great bible teachers of history will receive the rewards of the kingdom of heaven laid up for the saints. It is helpful to think of the attitude of the great bible teachers of history as having committed to totally sacrificing their lives to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. Ro 12:1-2.

In the language of C.S. Lewis, the conclusion to On the Incarnation instructs bible students to use the teachings of the great bible teachers of history as theological maps to find the truths of the bible that lead the bible student to receive the rewards of the kingdom of heaven. I used this process to write this paper. I began by using the bible teachings of 20^th century bible teachers Oswald Chambers, Lewis Sperry Chafer, C.S. Lewis, Watchman Nee and Robert B. Thieme, Jr. as doctrinal maps because each of their teachings guides millions of bible students. That study led me to an exhaustive study of the doctrine of deification which led me to use the teachings of Irenaeus, Augustine, Athanasius, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin and John Nelson Darby as doctrinal maps to complete this paper.

For example, the teachings of Dallas Theological Seminary that help to show that Jehovah God designed salvation to transform saints into gods through participation in Christ who replace Satan as the god of the earth rest on the foundation of the teachings of Darby. The following excerpt shows that Darby directly taught that Jehovah God judges Satan by removing Satan as the god of the earth:

Note, when the Lord comes, He sets aside Satan’s power in the twofold way – as having power over death, whether by changing and not letting die, or by raising: He has overcome in resurrection, having undergone the power of death – as god and prince of this world, he will cease to be, and be cast out by Christ’s reign. Notes, Letters & Other Darby Writings; Notes and Comments 4: Volume 4: Setting Aside Satan’s Power in a Twofold Way.

You can prove the truth of this paper by following the advice of Athanasius of being eager to learn and studying what the bible and great bible teachers, such as Irenaeus, Augustine, Athanasius, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin and Darby have said about the doctrines that support the message of this paper.
