ACCORDING
TO SCRIPTURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Jehovah remembered Babylon/Iraq by assembling nations to desolate her. (Rev 16:19,21). But He also gathers nations of the world to "lead them down to the Valley of the Lord's Judgement". (Joel 3:2 NEB). As nations gather together in their collective spirit rebellion against Him, they are judged on account of their ill-treatment of His beloved people and inheritance "Israel" whom they scattered among their nations. (3:1-3). "On that day" when Jehovah reverses the fortunes of "Judah" and "Jerusalem", He will pour out the Spirit of His Judgement upon the rebellious spirits of all mankind. (2:28 NEB). Each one gathered to His "Valley of Decision" is there according to the level of their spirit rebellion against Him, so that their spirits are judged. (3:13-16 NEB). After having defeated Iraq, the coalition of world nations are now rallying to each other's help to establish a form of peace and security between Arab countries in the Middle East, including Palestine and the State of Israel, by trying to settle their differences. As it is written: "Rally to each other's help, all you nations round about... Let all the nations hear the call to arms and come to the Valley of the Lord's Judgement". (3:11,12). But as nations are brought to judgement "on behalf of Israel, My own possession", Jehovah will be "a refuge for His people and the defence of Israel". (3:2 & 16 NEB). THE "BEAST AND THE KINGS
OF THE The Christ Michael is also called Faithful and True and the Word of God. (19:11,13). When commissioned by the Spirit authority of Jehovah, the First-born Son and Word of God will administer the Spirit of the Judgement of God in the lives of all mankind, which will arouse great anger in the majority. (11:18). It will expose the cowards, the faithless, the "disgusting thing", murderers, fornicators, those practicing spiritism, idol-worshippers, and all the liars. Their lot is the "second death". (21:8). They will be made to see how they sinned against their Lifegiver during their lifetime. (2 Esdras 9:10-12 NEB). As for rebellious dispositions of mankind left remaining, they will be shepherded with a spirit corrective "rod" of authority from heaven until they begin walking on the "Way of Holiness". (19:15. Isaiah 35:8-10). 3/3/91. |
