Hello World:
Today, I ask that everybody reading this post, to please refer back to the scriptures that I posted in the previous couple of posts. What I have realized with this topic, is that there is much or a large amount of information that I can talk about. There is so much information, until this can go on for a long while. I do not want to do that. I want to come to a close, blogging, in a few days.
Therefore, what I have decided to do is mention, here and in the next post, are quick points and or possible answers about the Rapture, the final judgements on Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire. Even with the quick points, this post is still lengthy. After people read this post, if anyone has other questions about today's topic, they can ask me by email. Allright onto the points and some possible answers to think about.
Again, as I said previously, the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day is a seperate event, and also at a different timeframe from the judgement seat of Christ. Born-again believers in Jesus Christ, who STAYED faithful to God, WILL NOT have to stand before the great white throne of judgement. Everybody else, who have rejected Jesus, rejected God, did evil works and died in their sins will stand to be judged at the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day.
Born-again believers in Jesus, who remained faithful AND true to God, will go before the judgement seat of Christ, which is believed to take place after the Rapture, up in Heaven, while the Great Tribulation period is taking place down on earth. The judgement seat of Christ is an account of Believers works for God to receive rewards, or no rewards. Those believers at the judgement seat of Christ, stay with God in eternity.
Born-again believers WHO FELL AWAY FROM God before the Rapture and were left behind or NOT raptured WILL MISS the judgement seat of Christ and Marriage Supper Of The Lamb events taking place up in Heaven. I want to acknowledge that there are some who believe that everybody, INCLUDING those who gets saved after the Rapture, and during the tribulation period will be at the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb.
However, it appears that from the scriptures, the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb takes place in Heaven, while the tribulation period is still going on or nearing an end on earth. According to that timing of events given by the scriptures, those saved AFTER the Rapture event, who are NOT killed during the tribulation period, again, appears to miss the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb, BECAUSE they are STILL down on earth awaiting the Lord's return to establish God's future millennial kingdom on earth.
If those believers do not get right with God during the tribulation period, their eternal status with God will be in limbo or in danger. This is why people need to pay attention and listen, NOW, when people are telling them things and judging them OF THE LORD. Because, as I have said before, from my research there are pastors, preachers and lay christians in hell, at the time of this post.
Judgement Day or the great white throne of judgement will not happen until AFTER the millenium reign or one-thousand year reign of Christ. So, Judgement Day as of at the time of this post, is actually a long ways off to people. People who did not accept Jesus and are not right with God still go to hell when they die and will be in hell suffering and waiting a long time, by human standards, for Judgement Day.
There is also the potential, according to the way scriptures are written in Revelation Chapter 20, for God to do some things that will surprise people; or God may do some things that has not been taught or talked about, based upon those BOOKS, the BOOK OF LIFE, people's WORKS and JESUS CHRIST.
Something I believe I have not mentioned before, people who have accepted Jesus Christ, LATE, or during the tribulation period and survived the tribulation WILL at least be able to reign with Christ on the earth for those thousand years, according to what it says in Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 4. Those late coming believers, will miss the events in Heaven, but again, be able to reign with Christ on earth in His kingdom.
The religion of Islam or the Muslim religion WILL HAVE NO PLACE in the future and eternal kingdom of God. In fact, I believe the kingdom of God will NOT be based on religion, be it Christianity, Islam or any other religion. The kingdom of God will be based upon those who believed on and accepted and followed the FULLNESS of Christ and did the WILL of HIS Father. That is one of several mistakes with people who serve Islam.
They live for and do things in the name of religion, not in the name of Christ and God. They talk about Allah, but they are always trying to convert people to Islam. You never hear people of Islam or Muslims ask, do you want to have a personal relationship with God. Again, it is more about the religion and duties and works for Islam. True Christians will ask people if they want to know Jesus Christ, know God and or have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God.
So, I ask the question, which is better, having a relationship with God, or having a religion? I say having a relationship with God is best. The religion or religious label is not what gets a person or people in Heaven or in the kingdom of God. God is the God of the believers and followers of Jesus Christ, who has His name written on their heart and who have a personal relationship with Him.
The religion and being religious is a result of or by product and secondary to the relationship. The religion should NOT be first or emphasized more than knowing the Savior, Jesus Christ and knowing the Father, God. Some people may not have enough time left to live to practice the religion, before they die and perish in their sins; so it is therefore, necessary to believe on and accept Jesus Christ and establish a relationship with God first.
Now it just so happens, that those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ are called Christians; and that is fine and okay. HOWEVER, NO WHERE in the scriptures or the Christian Bible, does God, the Father Himself, or Jesus Christ, literally call people Christians. Saints of the Old Testament were NOT called Christians. The term Christians was NOT used in the 4 gospels. The disciples of Jesus Christ where FIRST called Christians BY OTHER PEOPLE at a city in Syria, called Antioch, in the book of Acts Chapter 11: Verse 26. It is from that point that Christianity took off as an established religious label by man.
God and Jesus does call believers His people, His elect, His church and Israel, but NOT by any religious terminology in the scriptures. Another thing, Islam is too UNnecessarily violent. ISLAM or the MUSLIM religion is a VERY DARK, BONDAGE-FILLED, ANTI-WOMEN, DECEPTIVE, AND MURDEROUS RELIGION.
You do not know if some of them, in Islam, are going to stab you or not. You do not know if one of them sitting next to you is about to blow himself and you up or not. They make their women be all covered up and mess with veils over their face, walking around looking suspicious. Not to mention some of them covered up, can easily be men in disguise if they want to do something.
They are so radical, that I believe it is risky being around persons of such an extremely radical and highly deadly religion; and not knowing what they are thinking, what they are hiding on their person, and if they have any weapons or bombs or chemicals on them, and whether or not they are going to use those weapons on you.
Saying that is NOT to be hateful towards Muslims or the people of Islam, but IT IS A FACT, based upon how people within that religion make the news headlines IN A VERY BAD WAY, you have to watch your back and head and other body parts around them. The images of Islam look bad. Not to say that we should or should not market religion, but Islam is NOT even a good religion to market.
Their main marketing tools are fear, killing, death. It is NOT God's presence, NOT God's love, NOT God's mercy, NOT God's power and NO friendship with God. Islam also offers NO guarantee of salvation; and they have NO miracles, NO healings and NO fun. They seem to only offer fear, killing and death by the hands and weapons of madmen within the religion.
Islam has had too many followers with guns firing bullets, exploding bombs, ripping apart and blowing up people, with human body parts and guts blown all over the place, with lots of blood splattered and spilled out in various places throughout the world. Based on the continuous headlines showing MUCH DEATH and carnage, again, Islam does NOT look good at all, LITERALLY speaking.
Who, in their right mind, would want to be a part of that? I would NOT want to be a part of that kind of religion. Anyone, who is smart, would NOT want to be a part of that religion. Again, speaking on love, there appears to be, specifically, NO love from the followers of Islam, for people inside or outside Islam. Love is a BIG part of the nature of God or who God is, and Islam DOES NOT have that kind of love.
Any and all religious groups and people that rejects and demotes Jesus Christ from being God, the Son of God and RISEN Savior, and who kills IN THE NAME OF RELIGION, LIKE ISLAM, is NOT linked to the TRUE God at all; will, again, have NO PART in the coming kingdom of God, AND will be cast into various eternal torments in hell. I will return in 5 days to post more points and answers on this topic concerning the Rapture, judgements of Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire.
