IS THE BIBLE TRUE?
HOW DO WE KNOW?

Is 46:9-10
9)Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10)Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Is the Holy Bible still relevant and true today? Other holy books and some secular books have answers for the question’s people have, but none that’s as clear as the Holy Bible! God knows the “End from the beginning”. He proves it by the prophecies that He has chosen to reveal to the whole world by placing them in His word, the Holy Bible.
That is why I believe.

If a person misses this, he’s missing everything. Can we prove in this modern world, this post Christian world that the Bible is still relevant for today? A lot of people on earth have rejected religion for pleasure, they want to feel good and have fun, at least that’s the way it seems in the western world. In other parts of the world they barely get by. But we are in the west, and people want to try and forget or ignore what they are sensing by indulging in their pleasures.

Everywhere you look people have an urgency, or a foreboding that something is awry, so they seek to feel good by having fun. But that feeling, that something ominous is on the horizon just won’t go away. War and rumors of war are still continuing, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, earthquakes, hurricanes, famine, hunger, terrorism, oil spills, global warming.Governments have gone crazy and have no answers, riots, looting, murders have escalated, Christian persecution around the world including here in the west.

All these things are happening, all at the same time. The world is like a freight train speeding ever faster towards its apocalyptic end, people searching for answers, men’s hearts filling them, because of fear, looking after the things that are on the earth’s horizon and the age old fixes have quit working. So to get their mind off of the turmoil they seek other things, things that feel good.

Answers … are there any answers? The world’s governments seem to be out of options. Do we Christians have the answers that they are looking for? Can we give them what they need? Are we (Christians) the ones with the truth?
But how do we know we have the truth?

Is the Bible true?
I believe the prophecies in the Bible have the answers!!!
We will look at Bible prophecies that have been fulfilled first and still continue today. We understand that some people feel like if it’s in the past there is no way of proving that it was written before the event took place. Which is a valid argument. But we seek to prove that if prophecies that we know where in the Old and New Testaments where there before the event, then they must all be true.

Genesis 3:15 ESV
15) I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a] and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”

This is the promise of a savior, JESUS.

Genesis 8:7-17 ESV
7) and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8) Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.
9) But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.
10) He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11) And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.
12) Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.
13) In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14) In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out.
15) Then God said to Noah,
16) “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
17) Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

All over the world there is evidence of this flood. Other cultures and their beliefs bare this out.
Genesis 8:22 ESV
22) While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
This one is evident that it is still being fulfilled.

Genesis 13:14-17 ESV
14) The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15) for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
16) I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.
17) Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

Genesis 15:17 ESV
17) When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
God made a covenant with Abram to give him the land of Israel to him as an ever-lasting possession. (The land that Israel is in today) Today they are in this land again as God said.
Prophecy fulfilled. The Jewish people have never assimilated completely into the countries they were exiled into.

Daniel 2:30-46 ESV
30) But as for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
31) “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.
32) The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze,
33) its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
34) As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
35) Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36) “This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation.
37) You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,
38) and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold.
39) Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
40) And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these.
41) And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
42) And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.
43) As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage,[a] but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44) And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,
45) just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
46) Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and paid homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

Daniel is shown all the world empires that would take the world stage in their time and it has come to past just like God revealed to him. Prophecy fulfilled.
The following chapters show more prophecies being fulfilled.

Babylonian captivity.
Jeremiah 29:4-10
4) The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He speaks to all those he forced to go from Jerusalem to Babylon. He says,
5) “Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.
6) Get married. Have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons. Give your daughters to be married. Then they too can have sons and daughters. Increase your numbers there. Do not let the number of your people get smaller.
7) “Also work for the success of the city I have sent you to. Pray to the Lord for that city. If it succeeds, you too will enjoy success.”
8) The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says, “Do not let the prophets trick you. Do not be fooled by those who claim to have secret knowledge. Do not listen to people who try to explain their dreams to you.
9) All of them are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” announces the Lord.
10) The Lord says, “You will be forced to live in Babylonia for 70 years. After they are over, I will come to you. My gracious promise to you will come true. I will bring you back home.

Daniel 9:1-6
1)In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2)In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3)And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4)And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5)We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6)Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

Daniel was a contemporary of Jeremiah. As Daniel was reading what Jeremiah had written he realized that the time of their exile was just about over. The book of Daniel covers his entire life. He was just a teenager when taken to Babylon and now he is probably in his eighties. But he gets to see a prophecy being fulfilled, the Jews returning to their homeland.
Of course we have seen past prophecy ignored, because some people think anyone can write it after the fact and say it was a fulfillment. But for those of us who believe it brings an unwavering faith.

PROPHICES WE HAVE SEEN TODAY:
Israel becomes a nation in one day.
Can we say the Bible is true? YES. The Holy Spirit will convict of sin of righteousness and judgments if we will just read His Words. Please read the Bible for yourself and you will find it to be reading you. God loves you and gave us the Bible to show that love. It’s not possible for us to stand before Him, because we are sinful. So He gave us His word that we must accept by faith. In that word He predicted the future for us so we would know it’s true.

When Bible prophecy is fulfilled it makes it a lot easier to have faith. The Bible prophecy that has been fulfilled, that most everyone alive today can see, is Israel becoming a nation again. Jesus spoke of it in the gospels and Isaiah prophesied it about 2500 years ago.

Isaiah 66:8 ESV
8) Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children.

This is the Bible Prophecy that declares Israel will be a nation again, and that prophecy was fulfilled on May 14 1948. Some of us were alive when that happened. V. 8 “Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?” Yes! On May 14 1948 David Ben-Gurion made the declaration that the establishment of the Jewish State would begin at midnight May 14 1948. Israel is still a nation today. Bible Prophecy is true and here’s one more that has happened in our day.

The Jews returning to the land and nation of Israel is also a Bible prophecy and this one is still continuing today. The Jewish word for this return is the “Aliyah”. Jews from the world over are going to the land of Israel, because, as we have seen, God gave them this land forever. Here it is, Isaiah 43:1-8 please read it. It’s another Bible prophecy that proves the Bible is true.

Isaiah 43:5-8 ESV
5) Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
6)I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7)everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8)Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!

Jews from every nation, making Aliyah to Israel, because God is calling them to their homeland.
Is the Bible TRUE? YES
This is the greatest prophetic event of our day!!! Israel becoming a nation again and the Jews returning to that land God gave them.

Ez. 36-37 says they will return in unbelief, but the whole context is so that all will believe. How could this happen? Unless the Bible is true!!! North east south and west (I will call My sons from afar and they will be gathered to My land)
Jesus said , Math. 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

In 70 A.D., Israel ceased being a nation and the temple was destroyed, but Jesus said they would have a temple. In Mat. 24:15 Jesus was quoting Daniel. Right now the Jews don’t have a temple but there is talk of building one. I have been in Jerusalem and visited the Temple Institute and seen all the implements they have made for temple worship. They will be building a Holy Temple which will be more prophecy fulfillment showing the Bible is true.
All Nations are turning against Israel, UN, EU, Asia, Middle East and even the USA. All will be judged that try to divide the land. The whole world is turning on Israel and that to is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
Joel 3:2
2)I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Zechariah 12:1-4 KJV
1)The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2)Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3)And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4)In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

Bill Koening of the White House press corp. has said that a letter to the top staff of the dept. of state and the commerce dept. has directed them not to mention Israel and Jerusalem together; Hillary Clinton has said Jerusalem is to be considered as an international city. President Obama and Secretary of state Hilary Clinton ordered Government Offices to scrub Jerusalem from Israel and Jerusalem is not to be attached to Israel. This is now the official policy of the US.
There are no international cities on earth, so why Jerusalem? The pope has also called for this to happen and there are Catholics in every nation. A burdensome stone!!! How did the Bible know if it were not true?

Daniel 12 says many shall run to and fro and knowledge will increase. How did he know? GOD told him!
Daniel 12:1-4 KJV
1)And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2)And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3)And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4)But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Egypt is going to have a civil war and the out come is not what they will expect. They will turn to the God of Israel and serve Him.
Isaiah 19:1-3,18-25 KJV
1)The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2)And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3)And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
18)In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19)In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20)And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21)And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
22)And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23)In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24)In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25)Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

How did Isaiah know? It’s going to happen exactly like he said it would. The Arab Spring in 2012 could easily have been a beginning to this prophecy but the ending is still in our future but one thing is for sure, it will happen.

False teachers and false religions,
False theology is infiltrating the Church all the time. Paul warned in I and II Timothy about these things;
1 Timothy 4 ESV
4) Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
2) through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
3) who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4) For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5) for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

2 Timothy 3 ESV
3) But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2) For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3) heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
4) treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5) having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

1 Timothy is speaking to Christians and 2 Timothy is speaking about the whole world. You would have to be blind not to see our world in these verses today.

Some Christian teachers and pastors of the church are now teaching that the Church is the only people of God and we must make the world a better place so Jesus can come back. But either God is a covenant keeping God or He isn’t, we can’t have it both ways. Jacob is Israel and we are grafted in the Olive tree not replacing it. Rom. 9-11.
Jacob is mentioned 345X’s in the Bible almost all in relationship to the land of Israel. Dr. David A. Lewis has said Jacob never refers to the church only to the people of the covenant, Israel and the land.
Sad to say but there is even some Christian teachers that are teaching something called “Chrislam”, It’s the idea of Christianity and Islam becoming one Religion, “can’t we all just get along”. This we know can’t happen because Islam has Allah as their god and Christians have the God of Israel YAWH or Jehovah. The YAWH and Allah can never mix together.

We can now turn our attention to Biblical prophecies that haven’t come to past yet. Ez. 36-37 says Israel will come back to their land in unbelief, as we have shown this has happened.
But Ez. 38-39 has not happened. This Prophecy is the battle of Gog And Magog, a time when a ruler in the utter most north of Israel comes and invades, to take a great spoil from the land of Israel and God intervenes and destroys that nation.

Another unfulfilled prophecy is Isaiah 17, Damascus being destroyed:

Isaiah 17:1-3 KJV
1)The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2)The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3)The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

Damascus is still a city in Syria and is probably the oldest inhabited city in the Middle East. So this prophecy is still in play for our future and it will happen just as God said it would. Will you believe in God when it happens? Only He knows the future.
The book of Romans says all Israel will be saved.

Romans 11:25-29 KJV
25)For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26)And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27)For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28)As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29)For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

It’s going to happen because the Bible is true.

Now we will look into the rapture of the Church. There seems to be a lot of controversy among the Church about this issue and it’s timing. It isn’t my intention here to try and settle the argument. I do believe there will be a time when God removes the bride of Christ from the Earth. Millions upon millions of people that believe in Jesus as the Messiah will be caught up into the air and so shall they always be with the Lord.
Dr. David Allen Lewis said. The greatest sign of the true messiah is the rapture; no false Jesus can produce it!!! The devil is always trying to mimic what God is doing on the Earth but this is one prophecy that he can never do, mimic the rapture of the Church. Only God will be able to do this and when he does, the most horrible time this Earth has ever witnessed will start. It is called the Tribulation, or the Time of Jacobs’ trouble. It will be when God turns His attention back to Israel and He will purge them of all their sin and save them. This is the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy concerning Israel.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV
13)But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14)For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15)For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16)For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17)Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18)Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Lets delve into another Biblical prophecy. We find this one in the book of Revelation chapter 13. It’s a future society that we will call the Beast system that seems to be well on its way of being established.

Revelation 13:15-18 KJV
15)And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16)And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17)And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18)Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This system seems to already have deep roots in our present world. As you read through that chapter it becomes evident that almost every aspect of a society is covered as for as control, and that is precisely what this person wants to do. When John penned the book of Revelation the things he was saying were inconceivable. And now over two thousand years later some of those things are our everyday experience. There is talk about getting rid of paper money and coins, which will pave the way for everyone to use a digital type of currency. This is on the horizon. What better way to store your money then a mark on your right hand or forehead to show your bank account so you can excess your money? This will also show your allegiants to this man of Sin and guaranty that you can buy or sell what you will need to live. The future will not be a pleasant place when a man declares he is god and everyone must worship him or you can’t eat. The economy, food, even your religion is going to be controlled and watched by this system. There are already cameras watching almost every move we make. How will you say no to this beast system that controls everything about life.

Out of all the prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled this one is the scariest. So I’m asking you with all my heart, if you are still here on planet earth, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THAT MARK, if you do you will have damned yourself for all of eternity.

Revelation 14:9-11 ESV says this.
9) And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10) he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11) And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12) Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.[b]

This is not a joke, if you take that mark so you can survive at that time by being able to buy and sell you will have only extended your life by maybe a couple of years and then you will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity. It’s your choose please chose wisely. God loves you and does not want you to go to hell, that is why He told us what would happen before hand. The prophecies in the Bible are true. But He has given you the chose, choose Him or choose the devil. Read verse 12 again and again and let Jesus save you, just ask Him to be your savior. He will save you and you will live with Him for all of eternity. We are all blessed that this is still in our future but time is now on a short leash, and it is running out. I believe the future prophecies’ will come to pass just like the ones that have already been fulfilled. Please don’t wait. Is the Bible true? Yes!!!

Biblical prophecy also speaks of a one thousand year rule and reign of Jesus on the earth. After these Biblical prophecies that we’ve described have taken place, Jesus will come to earth and establish a righteous kingdom, which He Himself will rule with a rod of iron. The Bible is true, here is what it says will take place. Rev. 20:4-6

Revelation 20:4-6 ESV
4) Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.
6) Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

Only those who have asked Jesus to be their savior will be there! After this time period of one thousand years, God will set on His throne and judge everyone who rejected His grace of salvation that Jesus accomplished at the cross. You don’t want to be in this crowd, every one of them is cast into the lake of fire by the chose they themselves choose. Read the following Bible verses and weep if you have are still rejecting God’s offer of grace in Jesus. However if you are reading this it’s not too late for you, ask Jesus to save you right now. He will!

Revelation 20:1-7 ESV
1)And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2)And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3)And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4)And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5)But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6)Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7)And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Revelation 20:10-15 KJV
10)And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11)And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12)And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13)And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14)And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15)And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

There is a judgment to come!!! Verse 15 is so frightening. And that will be the eternal place of all who reject God’s GRACE.
