(6) Judgments

1. Righteous Judgment - Now for the child of God in the present tense - Man is either righteous or unrighteous - Judgment made by God when you accept Christ.
2. Judgment at point of death - The soul of man will either go to Heaven or Hell
3. Judgment at the Rapture of the Church - dead in Christ will rise - those alive in Christ will be caught up to meet with Him in the air. All members of Chists's body escape future Tribulation and Wrath. The rest are left behind and will go into the Great Tribulation.
4. Judgment during the 7 year Tribulation - Tribulation saints who are redeemed at that time will become righteous. At the end of the Tribulation - Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The unrighteous dead and alive will await the Judgment seat of Christ's second appearing.
5. Divine Judgment with fire - Second coming of Christ with all the saints - Glorified Saints will experience Eternity on Earth. Tribulation saints (men who accept Christ without glorification) will enter the Kingdom on earth. Glorified saints will escape the second death. Those who are not glorified and redeemed  are lost. These will be later resurrected (physically) and cast into Eternal darkness.
6. Judgment of the Great White Throne - at the end of the 1000 year reign heaven and earth fled away (All redeemed will be caught up). This Bodily resurrection will be for the unjust. Death, Hell, and the Devil himself will be cast in the sea of fire's second death. The just will return from Heaven (Heavenly Jerusalem) and reign for Eternity on Earth with Christ. Final Judgment. Final redemption and the perfect earth will thus become as Eden was at Creation. 

Hebrews 6:1-3

Therefore 

1. Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ. The principles of the doctrine of Christ were the teaching of the Law of Moses. Christ was born under Law; Grew up under Law; practiced the Law to the letter; taught the Law; died on the cross to abolish the Law and became God’s sacrificial Lamb to bring in the everlasting Grace Covenant we now live under. 

2. Let us go on unto perfection. Perfection was the product of the Grace of God that flows from the cross at Calvary and is ministered to the believing soul by the power and omnipresence of the Holy Spirit. 

3. Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works. Repentance under the Law of Moses required a man to bring sacrifices to the Priest and do as Moses commanded. Old Testament repentance makes a reference to obeying the Law of Moses and keeping it. Constant repentance without peace with God was the picture. 

4. And of faith toward God – The faithfulness of the Old Testament Jew was to hear, learn, and practice the ordinances and teachings of Moses and Levitical Law. Under Law men struggled to learn and keep the Law and 613 commandments. Struggle alone was enough to cause men to miss God and thus becoming unfaithful. Under Grace the sacrifice of Christ took away human struggle and allowed man to receive an “inner moral work of the Holy Spirit”. Salvation and redemption were produced by such Grace that flows through the ministry of the Holy Spirit from the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary. 

5. Of the doctrine of baptisms – Many ceremonial baptisms and not necessarily body immersion in water, many various washings of Levitical instruments, sprinkling of the blood and water with Hyssop as means of atonement. Dipping. These practices with water and blood of animals were many according to Jewish Law. Some baptisms were even customary by Jewish elders and teachers and not actual scriptural practice according to Law. Traditional influence and Talmudical based. 

6. And of laying on of hands – Due to Christ’s atoning sacrifice and Israel’s final sin offering Great Grace and the ministry of the Holy Spirit birthed the Church upon humanity. Not for Jews only but also for the Gentiles. Impartation of sin with the laying on of hands by a Levitical priest was ministered upon sacrificial goats, lambs, turtledoves, pigeons etc. This method of impartation of sin to an animal sacrifice as a means of yearly atonement for faithful Jewish families in Israel was no longer needed. 

7. And of resurrection of the dead – Resurrection of the dead has always existed in Biblical perspective. Body resurrection (raising from the grave) is the God given form of Eternal Blessing or Eternal Punishment and deals specifically with the physical make-up of the human being. The Pharisees and Sadducees were divided on the scriptural doctrine of resurrection of the body which is very vague in Old Testament records. Resurrection of the dead was proven to be realistic and actual through Biblical records of the resurrection of Christ. The resurrection of Christ was the greatest of blessings in Biblical history. Today under Grace in the Church the body of Christ resurrection power is what morally and spiritually changes the sinner into a child of God. The actual body (physical) resurrection will unite with the redeemed soul in the Rapture of the Church. 

8. And of eternal judgment – The Bible says Christ will come (again) in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who obey not the Gospel. Jewish and Hebrew people of faith know the Messiah came the first time at Calvary - in suffering, death on a cross, and resurrection from the tomb. God’s determination of Judgment took place at that time and will not be a flood like the days of Noah but with fire from Heaven unlike anything known to human comprehension. Tribulation will take place after the Rapture. God’s wrath will be unleashed for seven years beginning in Jerusalem. Judgments will take place at the end of the great Tribulation and at the end of the 1000-year reign of Christ on planet Earth. The final Judgment of the Great White Throne will take place at the end of the 1000 years as Hell, and death, and the Devil himself are cast into the lake of fire and experience the “second death”. 

9. And this will we do if God permit.

Biblical facts by Brother Hubert Lindsey

Christ the Judge - according to God's plan of the Kingdom on Earth

2 Timothy 4:1...I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom

• His appearing as King and Judge? At the end of the Tribulation.
• His Kingdom in Jerusalem? At the end  of  the Tribulation.
• The quick? Those who accept the King and are judged worthy to enter into the Kingdom on Earth.
• The dead? Those who rejected Christ "during the Tribulation and after the Rapture of the Church". Not deemed worthy to enter into the Kingdom in Jerusalem.

At that time - when Christ separates the goat nations and the sheep nations and establishes His Kingdom on Earth: all will stand before the Judgment seat of Christ.

Matthew 25:34-41...Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: - Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Earthly Kingdom postoned - Christ coming to Judge Israel - Lukes Gospel 17:25-37

In the closing of the earthly ministry of Christ - Jesus elaborated on His future coming in Divine Judgment. Comparisons were made with Noah's flood, Lot's wife, Sodom and Gomorrah, one taken and one left in the field.

Luke's Gospel made the subject of Judgment clear.

Luke 17: 25-37...

• But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
• And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 
• Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 
• Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 
• Remember Lot's wife. 
• Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 
• I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 
• And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

When Christ comes back the second time (to restore the Kingdom that was postponed) He does not come as a gentle lamb. He comes with fierce wrath and Divine Judgment taking vengeance upon those who obeyed not the Gospel. Fire from Heaven (like Sodom and Gomorrah) will purge and sanctify the earth. The Divine Judgment of Christ will purge humanity. Many unbelieving souls will be taken into perdition. Physical death according to God's Divine Judgment upon unbelievers will occur within the masses. Many are taken into condemnation and death - others are left behind to enter into the Promised Kingdom. Human carcasses will lay upon the earth under circling scavenging birds of the air.

The picture of Christ as a Divine Judge is the prelude to establishing the Promised Kingdom on Earth. The Kingdom postponed in Christ's day - will thus take effect at the Divine Judgment of Christ (at the end of the seven year Tribulation). After Judgment - all humanity at that time will accept Christ as Messiah and be sanctified. The Promised Kingdom will be established for the first time - since it's postponement during the earthly ministry of Christ. As Jesus prayed in the Lord's prayer - Thy will be done on Earth - as it is in Heaven.

Matthew 25 mentions of the Son of man, the Bridegroom, the King, and the Judge. In Luke 17 - Christ the Judge is prevalent.

What happens when you die?

At the time of death – the human physical body goes to the grave, burial vault, cremation, etc.

At the time of death the soul/spirit instantaneously goes to the eternal abode of the dead. The abode of the dead is Biblical place known as Abraham’s Bosom or Paradise found in the words of the Holy Scripture. To be more precise – Sheol is an eternal place in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament records. Hades is an eternal place in the Greek text found in the (4) Gospels and New Testament records.

The eternal abode of the dead is the unseen world for the righteous and the unrighteous souls – which God determines upon the soul of every man – in this life before death to the physical body.  The Holy Scriptures of the Bible term this unseen world as Heaven or Hell. Both places eternally exist for the righteous Judgment of the souls of men. Righteous Judgment is made by God Almighty as a determination for man’s belief or unbelief of God, the creator of all things – in this present life.

Hebrews 9:27…And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Miracles from the Throneroom... by Brother Hubert T. Lindsey

The following service was recorded in Glascow Kentucky in a local church in 1983. Brother Lindsey's teachings about the Throneroom were placed on his heart heavily by the Lord after it was revealed that the believer in Christ could get beyond Calvary and beyond the new birth. Calvary is the down payment. Walking in the Spirit is the life found when Christ takes over the heart and life of a child of God. A believer can get beyond what Christ did in the past...into the living presence of NOW in the Throneroom. This is the emphasis of this beautiful sermon by Brother Lindsey. This audio is classic holiness preaching and also speaks of some of Brother Lindsey's experiences with the Judgment of God. Enjoy it! Cherish it! May the Lord bless you as listen to and learn from this excellent sermon. I thank Jesus for this ongoing ministry of Brother Hubert Lindsey that still lives today across the world from the Churches on Trial blog that God is sending via Internet around the Globe.

Miracles from the Throneroom

The Rapture...God's Sanctification of the Church through the Spirit

2 Thessalonians 2:13...But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth

In the above passage Sanctification through the Spirit relates to the Churches "escape" from Divine Judgment as taught in the Thessalonian Letter. Divine Judgment is an event that will take place on Earth after the Rapture of the Church. Verses 1-12 of 2 Thessalonians... define in detail the "future Judgment" the Church will escape in the Rapture. "It is imperative to first read prior verses to understand the full context of this teaching."

Future Judgment is only for those who perish without Christ. God sends a strong delusion upon those who fell away and would not believe the love of the truth in this life. Future Judgment will allow the man of sin, the Anti-Christ, and the rise of Satan's Kingdom upon the Earth where there is no mercy or no Holy Spirit as we have today in this present Grace Age. In Future Judgment the Holy Spirit (the present hinderer of God's Wrath) will step out of the big picture. The Church will be "severed" or "cut away" from the unbelieving world and then the Anti-Christ will step in and take over for seven years as taught in Daniel's Prophecy. For further study review content in link below.

Biblical Facts about Daniel and the Holy Spirit, the Hinderer of God's Wrath

Sanctification through the Spirit in the above passage means to sever, to set aside, and/or to cut away. God severs and cuts away His body of believers in the Rapture of the Church. This cutting away is God's method of providing safety for His Church to escape future Wrath and Judgment. The Church, God's body of believer's consists of those who have obtained a moral holiness and a moral righteousness from belief in the truth about Christ in the present life. The members of this body obey the Gospel which in turn cleanses the heart from sin. This Sanctification through the Spirit takes place when God takes out this body of believers from an unbelieving world. Sanctification through the Spirit will be for those who accepted Christ and were obedient to His Holy presence in this life. Sanctification through the Spirit will be for those who did not fall away. Sanctification through the Spirit will be for those who are constantly, "Rapture ready with a clean heart". To meet with Christ in the Rapture...where the dead and Christ will rise and those who are alive will be caught up to meet with Him in the air.

Distinction between the Rapture of the Church and the return of Christ with all the Saints

How can you prove the truth about God?

Two of the greatest evidences that God is real:

1. Israel
2. The Bible

Why? Neither have been destroyed or lost through the pages of history.

The preservation of Israel is proof God is real.
The preservation of the God's written Word proves God is real.

God would never allow either to be destroyed. The Bible cannot be destroyed because God has preserved it for thousands of years. Israel cannot be destroyed because God preserved it to set up His Kingdom there.

Only God could preserve Israel through worst Anti-Semitic conditions known to humanity. Only God could preserve a Bible that is hated, tossed aside, and misunderstood more than any other document in the pages of history.

God is real and has put Christ in control of time and eternity. Be ready for His calling out of the Church - which is just like the days of Noah. Be ready because God is real and Christ is soon going to allow His Church to escape the destruction that's coming.

Proof and evidence. Simple.

The Black horse - the balances - and commerce during the Great Tribulation

The setting of the Black Horse? Christ opening the seals. The Raptured Church has escaped the Great Tribulation. What are the seals? God's Judgment upon the earth. What is the Rapture? God's final Judgment for the Church to escape the promised wrath of an angry God. The Holy Spirit stepped out and the Anti-Christ - the man of sin stepped in. The seals according to the Revelation of Christ are the ministering of God's wrath upon the Earth and upon humanity. The Black horse; him who sat there-upon, and the balances in his hand... represent a corrupt and tainted world commerce that continuously gets worse and worse through the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 6:5,6...And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see . And I beheld , and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say , A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

A one world government has formed under Satan's Dominion and the Anti-Christ.  A regimented Gentile ruled  kingdom has come together as the Beast spoken of in John's Revelation.  This one world government rules the military inertia around the globe. This one world government is a huge and magnified comparison to the Roman Empire during the days of Christ. This Beast will rule the political world, the financial world, the economical world, the business world, the religious world, etc. Global economy, commerce, and the business world will all be taken over and darkened under a one world dictator that hates God's elect, the Jew. Everything such as food, wealth, income, buying, selling, commerce, etc. will be will be under the dominion of the Beast Kingdom which is ruled by Satan and the Anti-Christ. Buying will be dictated by evil. Selling will be dictated by evil.  If man does not receive the "mark of the beast" he will not eat. Those who accept Christ will be beheaded.

Revelation 20: 4...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

Revelation 13:17... 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.

A false Gospel of the Kingdom on Earth will have been preached and established during this seven year Jewish Tribulation. This false Gospel will have informed people that the Kingdom had already come ...which in reality is a false proclamation that will mislead multitudes into rejecting the promised King and Kingdom of Christ. The Rapture of the Church has already taken place. Great Tribulation has started and continues to escalate immensely. The world at this time is without mercy, without compassion, without hope, and without God....under the dominion of the man of sin...the Anti-Christ

Matthew 24:14...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 .

As wars, famine, and military inertia escalate around a globe of godless people.... tribulation like no tribulation in the history of humanity will occur. Bloodshed will pour into the streets and rivers. Water will become polluted from nuclear fallout. Limited food and limited money will cause revolt within society. The Beast Kingdom which is the whole Gentile world will turn against Israel (God's elect) during these years and all will gather together in force under Satan's dominion. This will initiate the battle of Armageddon. At this gathering at Armageddon Christ and all His saints (which are the Raptured Saints of God) will step foot on the Earth at the Mount of Olives. At this time Divine Judgment will take place as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him and His elect Israel during the Great Tribulation. Zechariah 14.

2 Thess. 1: 7-10...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe

2 Timothy 4:1...I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

The end will be Judgment on Earth - in flaming fire. God will melt the elements with fervent heart. God will physically sanctify the Earth with fire as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him. The godless world will be judged and cast into everlasting punishment. Satan will thus be bound. The rest of humanity that believes in Christ will be sanctified and have hearts prepared to live with Christ for 1000 years. A resurrection will also occur here.

Revelation 20:4-6... 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. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished . This is the first resurrection. 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.

Did you know?

The ministry and work of the Holy Spirit :

Convicts the unbeliever of sin
Makes Christ known in the heart of man
Seals those who trust Christ with an initial down payment
Regenerates those who repent and find forgiveness in the death of Savior
Baptizes believers into the body of Christ
Puts a moral witness into the heart of a believing soul
Leads and guides the child of God in righteousness
Sanctifies the saved believer from the still existing Old Adam
Makes intercession for the saints of God
Makes men witnesses for Christ
Holds back the AntiChrist until the Rapture of the Church

The above operations of the Spirit of God are just few of many reasons why Christ sent the Spirit of Truth into the world. Christ told the disciples before His ascension to Heaven that He would send "another" comforter. This Comforter, the Holy Spirit that Christ sent under the blessing of the New Testament...has an ongoing ministry and operation that "works" and is "made manifest" at present through the preaching of the Gospel message. The Gospel has power to morally change, deliver, forgive, and rid man of sin and unholiness. When the Gospel is preached the Holy Spirit is working on behalf of God. The Gospel is God's method of reaching sinners and extending enough mercy for unsaved men to "turn to Christ". The ministry and work of the Holy Spirit is "behind" the preaching of the Gospel with all power and authority. All for the glory of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says some men's sins are open. Some men's sins are concealed.

1 Timothy 5:24, 25...Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

The subject of open sin is a subject that is not discussed much nowdays in our modern religious era. The reasons why sin is not addressed in society are many. In the heart and life of a child of God the Bible teaches that sin can be and is removed from the human make-up...by the power of God's Saving Grace. To be rid of sin is to be holy in the eyes of God. When sin is forgiven the unholy heart is made holy by the Grace of God. A new moral character is created in Christ Jesus. A new birth takes place and a new nature is given.

When man is rid of sin the works that he does are "good works" and these good works are pleasing in the eyes of God. Salvation however can not be achieved by an unsaved mans works that this unsaved man feels within are "good works". Salvation of the human soul is worked out only after the believer trusts Christ and has been redeemed and washed in the shed blood Christ at Calvary. Eternal Judgment and Eternal damnation are lifted from those who trust Christ in redemption...but on the other side Eternal Judgment and Eternal damnation "rest" upon the unbelieving soul that is deceived by sin. The good works of a child of God will bring to light the sinful side/or the secret sins of life and reveal, concealed sins.

1 Timothy 5:25...Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

Many today profess redemption and Christianity... but live like the Devil. Some profess redemption and keep sin secret (out of guilt and shame). Both or either show a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Eternal Damnation and Eternal Judgment "rests" upon these un-redeemed souls that profess Salvation with words but their heart is far, far, far from the Christ of our Salvation. All men's sins are open in the eyes of God but not not necessarily before the eyes of man. The works that ripple from sinful conduct follow after as they impact people now, or people later in life, or people in generation after generation to come. The Bible is clear on such doctrine about sin and its ripple effect.

1 Timothy 5:24, 25...Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

The works of a saint or the works of a sinner are determined by God Almighty only. Not by man. Good works and bad works take place in this life and will ripple in generations to come. I like what the Bible says about the works of the saints of God that have went on to Heaven. The works of a saint  "follow" on into next generations. Glory!

Rev. 14:13...Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

As for sinful men and their outward works and/or secret sins...the Judgment of God and Eternal Damnation rests upon these unbelieving and deceived souls. This determination is made by the person of Jesus Christ, the Judge of all humanity...who shall Judge sinful men and all those who obey not the Gospel which pertains to His, death, burial, and resurrection according to the Scriptures.

Rom. 2:16...In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

The Spirit’s baptism…a baptism that saves the believer in Christ from the Judgment of God

The picture is Noah, His preaching for 120 years, and the eight souls that got in the Ark.

1 Peter 3:20…eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us

The waters of the flood came upon the earth…God’s Judgment and Wrath took the lives of every living thing…but eight souls were saved in the Ark…by water. They were saved from the Judgment of an angry God. They got in the Ark. They obeyed the Gospel. They lived according to God in the Spirit.

1 Peter 4:6…For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

The like figure is the Spirit’s Baptism that puts the believer into Christ and His body. It’s the Spirit’s baptism that saves us from God’s future Judgment. After hearing the Gospel, we repent and trust Christ for personal forgiveness. We get put into (baptized into) Christ by the Spirit of God which is a like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us. When we are in Christ we are saved from Wrath like Noah and his family were, when they were put in the Ark by the Spirit of God.

Gen. 7:16-17…And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

In the New Testament the Spirit’s baptism into Christ is a likefigure to how God put Noah and his family into the Ark and saved them from the Judgment to come. In the New Testament Jesus is the Ark. Glory!

Hubert T. Lindsey...Ashes of a Red Heifer...#3 of 6

Ashes of a Red Heifer

Jesus cried over Israel's rejection...

Luke 19...And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

As a foundation of this Blog I have to go back to one week before the crucifixion of Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven message was rejected by Israel as a nation and so was the Promised King. God had promised the King and the Kingdom message to be presented to Israel. Isreal rejected both. It broke Jesus' heart to witness the attitude of rejection that came from the nation of Isreal His home country and fellowkinsmen. Jesus mourned, He sorrowed, and He cried. He cried because Israel rejected God's promised earthly Kingdom which is a hugh portion of prophetic truth contained in the Old Testament records. Jesus cried because Israel rejected the ones (the twelve and the seventy) He sent out preaching, "The Kingdom of Heaven was at hand". The message of the Kingdom to Isreal had to be presented! The Apostles, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself presented it! If the Kingdom message would not have been presented for the first three years of Jesus' ministry... even the stones would have cried out!

Luke 19:40-41...And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

In Matthew's account of these final days of Christ he spoke of Jesus literally withering the fig tree. This literal withering of the fig tree was actually a pronounciation of Judgment by Christ upon Israel for their rejection of the promised King and the Kingdom message. It broke Jesus' heart to do such because the Kingdom of Heaven promised from the foundation of the world was rejected and therefore postponed until the 1000 year reign of Christ.

Matt 21:19-20... And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Marks account of Jesus's literal curse upon the fig tree spoke as such.

Mark 11:20-21... And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away

After Christ realized that Israel "lacked faith" so much that the Kingdom could not be established He wept over Israel. He knew their lack of faith. He knew their backslidden state. He knew their rejection of the Torah. He knew their rejection of the Messiah. It sorrowed Christ in His heart for the pronunciation of Judgement that was to come. The curse of the fig tree actually pointed to Israel's future destruction of the Temple in 70AD. Jesus foretold this destruction. Aniel foretold this destruction. The curse of the fig tree also pointed to Israel's lack of faith and doubtful rejection of the Messiahship of Christ.

When Jesus spoke of Israel having faith the size of a mustard seed He wasn't praising Israel... He was reproving them for their lack of faith and rejection of the King and the promised Kingdom. In Matthew you have these definative words about faith concerning if they would have recieved the Kingdom on earth...which was the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt 21:21...Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

This moving of a mountain that Jesus spoke of was a "literal moving of mountains" just like the withering of the fig tree was a "literal withering of the fig tree" that pointed to Jesus' pronounciation of Divine Judgement upon Israel. You see...in the Kingdom on Earth (The Kingdom of Heaven) those who reign with Christ will have power over tangible Earth just like Christ had. That is how Peter walked on water. In the Kingdom Age...Jesus gave the disclples power over tangible earth, natural law, demons, scorpions, the weather, etc. Whatever they would say or would do would happen. Man was to have dominion over the natural laws of Earth in the Promised Kingdom. When Jesus wept the Earthly Kingdom was postponed until after the Rapture of the Church. Many things happened when Jesus wept!

PS...If Israel would not have rejected their own Torah...they would have recogized the Messiahship of Christ. The Torah spoke of Christ. Unfortunately, Israel followed the teaching of the Talmud more than the Torah which is the first five books of the Bible. Jesus taught the Torah.

Matthew 24...Hubert T. Lindsey (audio)

In order to get a good understanding of this audio its important to understand that Jesus was born under Law, lived under Law, taught Law, and died under Law...until Grace flowed from Calvary. Secondly, Jesus preached the Kingdom message to Israel and never preached or commanded His disciples to preach to Gentiles or Samaritans. Jesus taught Salvation was for the Jew. He came to His own and His own received Him not. The Church was not existent during Christ's Earthly ministry. These points are important to know when studying the book of Matthew.

The Kingdom message Jesus preached dealt with "restoration". Restoration is what the Jew understood from Old Testament prophecy made by Isaiah, Joel, Daniel, etc. Many prophecies dealt with restoration and restoration dealt with the second coming of Christ. In order for God to "restore Israel " there first had to be Divine Judgment according to prophecy. This is the theme of Matthew 24...Judgment and Restoration.

Brother Lindsey clarifies Old Testament prophecy and shows the distinction between what applied to Israel and what applies to the Church today. This teaching takes away confusion that many are stumped on. This teaching on Matthew 24 will bring clarification as Brother Lindsey rightly divides God's Word.

Take notes on the excellent end times message about Christ's return to set up His Kingdom in Jerusalem... not to be confused with the Rapture of the Church! Study with an open ear to show yourself approved to God. Pause and start the player and use a Strong's Biblical concordance. Much, much knowledge about Christ's return in Divine Judgment contained on this 1 hour audio. May the Lord bless your study!


Matthew 24

Wrath of the Lamb...Hubert T. Lindsey

This excellent end time teaching by Brother Lindsey from John's book of Revelation focus's primarily on the wrath of God during the Great Tribulation. It describes how the wrath of God is ministered upon the Earth for seven years in preparation for Christ's promised return with all His saints. This audio describes the devastation, destruction, and renovation on Earth in preparation for God's promised Eternal Kingdom. Then comes the Divine Judgment of Christ, the wrath of the Lamb in flaming fire with vengence as He prepares Earth for His 1000 year reign with all His saints. Enjoy this beautiful 1 hour audio on John's Revelation of Christ.

Wrath of the Lamb

By not rightly dividing the Kingdom message and the Gospel of the death of Christ some men ignore the true authority of Christ in the Throneroom today

After the Kingdom of Heaven was "rejected by Israel" and postponed (the Church was birthed and Raptured, Great Tribulation takes place for 7 years, and the Millennial reign of Christ begins on the Mount of Olives)...Christ's Kingdom message changed. From that time of Israel's rejection (recorded in the four Gospels)...Christ began to declare to His disciples that He would suffer and go to the cross and die.

Christ himself, the Kingdom message, and Kingdom authority delegated to the disciples by Christ, was not only rejected by Israel but was lost due to the "doubt and unbelief" of the human heart (caused from the Adamic nature). Remember, the authority delegated to the disciples was to heal the sick, cast out devils, and have power over every natural law on planet Earth like Adam had before the Fall. Natural Law is the order of things in the Earth, the universe, and all the elements of tangible Earth contained within. Man's dominion over natural Law (which was delegated by Christ to the disciples) like Adam had before the Fall included; having authority over the animal life, the plant life, atmospheric conditions, and the Earth itself.

During the Kingdom message taught in the four Gospels man was given power over all natural Laws. Natural Law had to obey the disciples who were delgated Kingdom authority during the Kingdom Message to Isreal. Kingdom authority delegated by Christ then is not to be confused with Christ's authority from the Throneroom today in the Church. Throneroom authority from the Church Age is taught in the Epistles. In the Millenial reign of Christ man will again have dominion over tangible Earth. Obviously man today does not have the same dominion over the Earth in this present Church Age! Kingdom authority and not Throneroom authority is why Christ told the disciples they could move (literal) mountains and pluck up (literal)trees. Glory!

Matt 17:20...If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;

Luke 17:6...And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Kingdom authority that was delegated by Christ gave man dominion over every natural thing and every natural condition in life. Mountains could be taken out of their place. Trees could be plucked up and cast into the sea! Unfortunately Christ's disciples did not have faith the size of a mustard seed! Here's an example of not having faith the size of a mustard seed. Christ "reproved" His disciples for not utilizing the authority that was given to them to use to spread the Kingdom Message throughout Israel.

Mark 11:23...For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Notice the doubt and unbelief...of the disciples!

Matt 17:20... And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Many times men today read these passages and they get their eyes on the Devil... when actually they should be focusing on human doubt and unbelief that hindered the disciples from using "faith the size of a mustard seed". That's why Jesus "reproved" his disciples who were delegated power and dominion over every tangible thing on Earth.

Matt 10:1...And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power...

Here's another example of Kingdom authority or man's dominion over the natural laws of tangible earth that were delegated by Christ to His disciples. Unfortunately the disciples' lack of faith and doubt smothered out the delegated Kingdom authority, the Kingdom of Heaven message, and the King Himself. Look at this illustration when Peter literally walked on water.

Matt 14:28-31... And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

All this written to say one thing, "The Kingdom message to Israel (not to the Gentiles) was rejected because of Israel's doubt and unbelief. The actual Kingdom of Heaven was postponed until the 1000 year reign of Christ. At that time the Kingdom message to Israel changed to the message of the Gospel of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ to both Jew and Gentile"...When did it all take place? When Jesus withered the fig tree...literally.

Mark 11:12-23...And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. And when even was come, he went out of the city. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

The withering of the fig tree was a literal withering that pointed to the Judgement of God upon the nation of Israel for rejecting the Kingdom message and the King. The delegated authority of a believer to move mountains was also a literal authority. No spiritulization should be applied to either passage when scriptures are rightly divided!

More to come on the "fig tree" in relation to Christ pronouncing the Judgement of God upon Israel and the postponed Kingdom of Heaven to the Millennial Reign of Christ.

Biblical facts on the Anti-Christ, resurrection of the body, and the Judgment Seat of Christ (conclusion)

Righteous judgment made by Christ will take place at the beginning of the one thousand year reign. Tribulation saints will likewise reign with Christ until the one thousand years expire.

*Please note at the Judgment seat of Christ…Saints (who have no evil works) are rewarded according the good works they have done in this life. Sinners (who have no good works) are punished according to the evil works they done in this life. Punishment begins in Hell and is further condemned by God at Judgment seat of the Great White Throne.

· Rom 14:10-12…for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

· 2 Cor 5:10…For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

· 2 Tim 4:1…I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom*.

*This Kingdom on Earth is where the saint’s reign with Christ for a thousand years. This Kingdom is Biblically termed as the “Kingdom of Heaven”. The Kingdom of Heaven is a future Kingdom upon physical Earth where Christ and the saints reign. The Kingdom of God is already here spiritually, in the hearts and lives of those who trust in Christ for the forgiveness of sins.

In relation to the Divine Judgment of God, two significant resurrections are taught in the Bible. These are the resurrection of the righteous dead and the resurrection of the wicked dead. Both resurrections are an execution of Judgment made by Christ upon the just and the unjust. The first resurrection called the resurrection of life, are those taken out from among the wicked. Like Christ these are the firstfruits.

· John 5:27-29…And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

· Acts 24:14-15…so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Secondly, the resurrection of damnation upon the wicked dead is the Eternal damnation pronounced by Christ upon the physical bodies of the wicked dead. All the wicked dead in the history of mankind since Adam are resurrected at the end of the one thousand year reign of Christ. All souls from Hell are united with their physical bodies through bodily resurrection. These are condemned by God into a physical and everlasting damnation, called the second death. All those who partake in second death are cast by God into the Lake of Fire for everlasting and final punishment and torment.

· Rev 20:11-14…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. 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. 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. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

· Jude 14-15…And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him

“Final Judgment” takes place upon the wicked dead from the Great White Throne. Why final Judgment? After final Judgment there is no more need for redemption of the soul or physical bodies of men. The Devil is judged at the Great White Throne. Death and Hell is judged at the Great White Throne. All men and women upon the entire Earth will be holy and physically eternal after that Judgment. There will be no more sin, no more sickness, and no more sorrow.

Then, the Bride of Christ descends from Heaven to Earth where Christ will unite with His Bride (the Church in Heaven) and reign as King from His earthly Throne in Jerusalem. At that time Eternity will be restored (like in the Garden of Eden) and time as we know it, will cease to exist.

· Rev 19:7-8…Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

· Rev 21:2-5…And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new
