2002.05.D.14 Comments on Several Emails Regarding the Thousand years and the Day of Judgement Created by James3 on 8/10/2019 7:00:10 AM Comments on Several Emails Regarding the Thousand years and the Day of Judgement
Greetings
In response to the article 1AD.02.05.11 Where are we now? a series of emails were received with extracts from various teachings from various sources and accounts of prophetic experiences by someone who i infer to be Ellen White.
The volume of information received precludes emailing as an informal document, however some of the comments offered in response seem worth sharing.
>>> ARTICLE 1 <<<
An interpretation of the end of the age citing numerous passages from Revelation and elsewhere.
>>> REPLY 1 <<<
There is an interpretive anomally in what is presented in what you sent me which is a point that has been addressed repeatedly on the ETI list in the past year or so.
Christ is the translation of six different derivatives of the Greek including Christon, Christos, Christoo, etc
Some of these refer to Yahshua the anointed of Yah {Jesus Christ} and some refer to the anointing of the Set-Apart (Holy) Spirit of Yah.
In Revelation 20 verses 1 to 4 the reference to judging WITH CHRIST is to human beings such as you and i judging WITH THE ANOINTING OF THE SET-APART (HOLY) SPIRIT OF YAH for a thousand years.
The second coming of Yahshua is at the END of the thousand years and is COINCIDENT with the DAY OF JUDGMENT - in other words, Yahshua returns on the clouds of heaven and all on the earth AND all the dead are instantly caught up into heaven and immediately the Holy angels separate out the wheat from the chaff, the goats from the sheep, etc.
Instantly thereafter each person appears ALONE before the throne of judgment and is judged, some to eternal glory and many to eternal damnation.
Those who are resurrected at the start of the 1,000 years reign with those of us who are alive today, of whom a VERY SMALL NUMBER will be counted as overcomers and will, by the Providence of Yah, find themselves in positions of leadership in the earthly realm WITH FURTHER AUTHORITY over the spirit realm. THESE MEN will then judge the fallen angels, principalities, powers, thrones and dominions and tear them down and cast them into the Pit having FIRST judged Satan and cast him into the Pit. The tearing down of principalities, etc has already been happening to a limited extent in some locations, we have been doing this for nearly four years now.
We MUST draw the destinction between the instances of Christ applied to Yahshua as the "christos, etc" = "anointed" of Yah and "christoo, etc " = the "anointing" on men and women such as you and i.
The rule of men on earth will continue for another thousand years in much the same form that we know it although, over time, there will be an accelerating return to righteousness and progressively nations, corporations, etc will be ruled by righteous men of Yah who are led by the Spirit of Yah (= Christ).
It is only right at the end that the heavens and earth are rolled up and the new earth comes into existence.
I can give you no more detail about the end of the thousand years, i have been firmly admonished by our Heavenly Father that the Scriptures are not given for fortune telling and that we will ONLY be able to ascertain the true meaning of the prophetic Scriptures which relate to the End of this age, WHEN WE GET THERE.
In the same way, if what you forwarded to me has not been written in the past few years then it cannot hope to be accurate, we MAY NOT use Scripture for fortune telling in respect of worldly events, we MUST use it to discern the times we live in TODAY!
I hope this helps - there is much more written about this in a variety of articles published on the ETI list in the last year or so - if you would like back issues please let me know.
In closing, i encourage you to read the Scriptures cited below against the interpretation that i have offered above - you will find that PROVIDED you recognize the translation errors associated with Christ, that the interpretation i have given you is entirely congruent with all the scriptures reported.
>>> ARTICLE 2 <<<
A collection of highly anointed accounts of visions of heaven and of the Day of Judgment and the return of Yahshua.
>>> REPLY 2 <<<
Very inspiring - i assume that these are reports by Ellen White?
Notice that nothing in these visions gives an indication of relative timing pertaining to the matter we are discussing.
I submit for your consideration that while Ellen White was given a PARTICULAR emphasis on the Sabbath in these visions there are others who have received particular emphasis on other commandments such as the Sacred Names, etc - we DARE NOT violate ANY of the ten commandments!
I would also submit to you that the group in the visions that are referred to as "adventists" in actual fact includes people of all nations and creeds who have served Yah faithfully and NOT just those of a particular earthly label - else we fall again into the trap of the "Methodists" referred to :)
>>> ARTICLE 3 and 4 <<<
Further visions and scriptural analysis regarding the end of the age.
>>> REPLY 4 <<<
Barring the paragraph or so about the desolation of the thousand years the same comment as before pertains.
Regarding the desolation of the thousand years - i have seen in vision the USA desolate, New York destroyed, 1,000 nuclear explosions over all the earth but primarily the Northern Hemisphere, the smoke of 1 million fires rising around the world and obscuring the sun and i have understood these to be imminent!
So i can in large measure identify with the paragraph about the desolation of the thousand years.
HOWEVER, i have also seen other things which are not necessarily congruent with a PHYSICAL interpretation of these visions and regarding which, at this stage, i remain uncertain.
As i have written several times, i am unclear whether the manifestation of these visions will be physical OR spiritual or both - i DO already see MUCH spiritual desolation and destruction, i see people turning from the narrow way in droves and i see people falling into deception in diverse ways - accordingly, i sense that the desolation of the earth is ALREADY with us in large measure.
I remain UNSURE of the extent of physical desolation that will ultimately be experienced although i remain certain that we are IN THAT AGE that marks the beginning of the thousand years and that Satan must be cast into the Pit for 1,000 years soon. To the extent to which what i see and what sister White (?) saw do not conform, i cannot comment - she was shown what she was shown and has sought to report it faithfully, i have done the same - to the extent that it may SEEM that the two accounts are not reconcilable it simply indicates the extreme magnitude and complexity of what is to happen and the fact that as mere human vessels there is a limit to the full extent of what is purposed that we can either comprehend or stand.
I hope this helps
>>> ARTICLE 5 <<<
Lengthy discussion of "Babylon" in Revelation, who / what it is, etc.
>>> REPLY 5 <<<
Time does not permit reading this in depth.
Suffice to say that it seems clear to me that Babylon in this age refers to all that has flowed out of Rome and therefore it refers to the entire "Western Civilization" as it is commonly called which is, in reality a pagan culture that permeates the "church", "Christianity" and other establishments all of which perpetuate Roman error with regard to the Sabbath, the Names of Yah and Yahshua, the trinity, false doctrines relating to marriage, humanistic abolition of the death penalty for murder, abortion, failure to honour parents, stealing, lying (through advertising, etc) and covetousness (through advertising, etc) - in simple terms ALL TEN of the Commandments are violated and this violation has infiltrated almost every community on earth to a greater or lesser extent.
In-depth analysis, etc is, to my way of thinking, unfruitful - this is simply a reality regarding the world in which we live today - these SAME violations of the ten commandments serve as the Mark of the Beast since we are enjoined in Deuteronomy particularly 6 and later chapters to bind the commandments on our hands and as blinkers (frontlets) to our eyes / on our foreheads which speaks of what we contract (clasp hands / sign) and what we think.
We must ALL be acutely aware that to apply ANY label, whether "Seventh Day Adventist", "Christian", "Methodist", etc to ourselves rather than to simply refer to ourselves as "believers in Yah through the covenant sacrifice of Yahshua" is to place an idol between ourselves and the Almighty.
To me THIS is the essence of the challenge that faces us - we MUST come into right relationship with the Father BY HIS SPIRIT and we must not judge others UNLESS we are very clearly anointed to judge by Yah Himself and then we may only deliver the judgments that HE gives us.
Accordingly, as with previous discussions i prefer to refrain from expressing more specific opinions regarding any particular church or denomination. I have total certainty that there ARE TRUE believers in every arm of the church, etc and therefore i choose NOT to label ANY grouping - Yah contantly is confronting me with examples of people who have close personal relationships with Him and knowledge of His ways who are in categories where my previous prejudices would have precluded me finding any possibility of there being true believers.
Hope this helps
>>> END OF EXTRACTS <<<
While the above extracts may seem a bit disjoint in the absence of the very lengthy emails to which they are a response, it is felt that they contain a certain amount of relevance in the broader context of what has been posted on the ETI list recently.
Any feedback or comment on the overall prophetic interpretation of current events and particularly the spiritual versus physical manifestation are welcome.
Warm regards and blessings
