Fall of Babylon (No. 141D

Revelation 14:1-5

Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. ²And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps, ³and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. ⁴It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, ⁵and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.

Revelation 14:6-13

Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people ⁷and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water." ⁸Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion." ⁹And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever 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." ¹²Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. ¹³And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

This text sets the scene for the final destruction of the earth's religious deception of the Sun and Mystery Cults. God has decided to destroy Mystery Babylon and we have dealt with this in the Commentary on Revelation in F066iv.

Intent of Chapter 14

(cf. No. 141) (see Commentary on Revelation F066iv).

Verses 1-5: The concept of not being defiled with women means that they are spiritual virgins. The women are the concept of the churches of the earth. It is also a possibility that these people are the tribes. The 144,000 are taken out over a period of time. The selection of the 144,000 is by process of the churches over the two millennia (see also the papers The Harvests of God, the New Moon Sacrifices, and the 144,000 (No. 120); The New Moons (No. 125); and The New Moons of Israel (No. 132)). An argument might be advanced that we are dealing with two lots of 144,000. This matter will be addressed elsewhere.

The sequence of the 144,000 is still attendant to or in conjunction with the Great Multitude. The elect are to help the whole nation and planet. They are not to worry whether they are in one group or another. The identity of the nations is developed in the texts of The Genetic Origin of the Nations (No. 265). However, everybody is going to be in Israel in the end. Everybody is going to be a spiritual Israelite over the Millennium, or they will be dead.

At his coming Messiah slays the Lawless One, as we know from Thessalonians (F052, F053). The entire planet is placed under Messiah from this act, in sequence, commencing from the 144,000 through the Great Multitude and on into the Millennium. Until we know the song given to the 144,000 we don’t know if we are in the 144,000.

Verses 6-20: No lie was found in their mouths. This is the key, for they are spotless. The concept is of adoration for God and His truth – and the elect are to be totally committed to the truth. Sometimes the truth is very unpalatable. They are committed to the truth and the truth sets all free. This is the real issue. They will be in the 144,000 if they are committed to and prepared to die for the truth.

From verses 19-20:

¹⁹So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God; ²⁰and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia. (RSV)

That is a lot of blood – a lot of dead people. 1,600 stadia is approximately 5 miles. Christ is taking over the planet and he then forces these people to repent. When Messiah returns to Zion the elect are with him (see the paper Trumpets (No. 136) for more information on the return of the Messiah). The Day of Atonement deals with the reconciliation of the planet – the bringing of the planet into repentance and setting it up for the Millennium. There is a sequence of time between the Advent of Christ and the start of the Millennium, and that comes out in the vials of the wrath of God.

(cf. No. 270)

Revelation 14 has four explicit messages, which relate to the coming of the Messiah and the activities of the Church under the direction of God through Jesus Christ and the spiritual servants God has given to him.

A fifth message concerns the wrath of God at His return. This message is twofold. It refers to the 144,000 taken out and given to Messiah and these stand with him on Mount Zion. At first glance it looks as though they are all with him at one time and that this point refers to the end time in Jerusalem. The time-frame actually involves the sequence of time from the commencement of the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1-2 in 27 CE and the end at the second advent or coming of Messiah.

The messages of Revelation 14 (No. 270) are the responsibility of the 144,000. The messages given to the 144,000 go for the period of the seven eras of the seven churches given in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 (F066). The two thousand years cover the forty Jubilees from 27 CE to 2027 CE.

The First Angel’s Message is the eternal Gospel and that is given out over the period until the time of the end. At the end the finalisation of the Message of Isaiah 61:1-2 is given (cf. Rev. 14:1-7).

The prophecy was spoken by Messiah and stopped at Isaiah 61:2, halfway through the text, because the end of the prophecy occurs at the end of the age.

Isaiah 61:2-7 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; ³to grant to those who mourn in Zion -- to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. ⁴They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. ⁵Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks, foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; ⁶but you shall be called the priests of the LORD, men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you shall glory. ⁷Instead of your shame you shall have a double portion, instead of dishonor you shall rejoice in your lot; therefore in your land you shall possess a double portion; yours shall be everlasting joy. (RSV)

To understand this sequence, we need to proceed to the Second Angel’s Message.

The Second Angel’s Message

The Second Angel’s Message follows the First Angel’s Message. It is the result of the correct execution of the First Angel’s Message that the Second Angel’s Message is able to be given with sure success. At the final sealing of the 144,000, the Earth is able to be hurt. The full story of how this is to occur is detailed in other texts in Revelation and elsewhere.

The entire Babylonian system is to fall in the Last Days before the final end.

Revelation 14:8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion." (RSV)

This is the great Whore who rides the nations and is mentioned in Revelation 17. She is destroyed by the union of the ten kings that receive power for one hour with the Beast, in the Last Days (Rev. 17:12-18).

This prophetic hour is a very short period of time. It may be literally the twenty-fourth part of the prophetic year-day – i.e. two weeks. Or it may be a period less than the year. It is, however, a short period of time when all these prophecies and powers come together. The destructive power of these systems is incredible. Give thanks that it is a short period of time.

To understand what is happening we must go to the story of Gideon. Gideon stood against the system of Baal and was an iconoclast, as the system will be in the Last Days (cf. the paper The Warning of the Last Days (No. 044)).

The Third Angel’s Message (Rev. 14:9-20)

Verses 9-13: The injunction here is that the Beast will set up a system that makes clear distinction between God and His system and the satanic system of the Beast. The major part of the world appears to go along with this system.

The endurance of the saints is called for, and the distinctive mark of the saints is the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Christ’s faith was that he loved not his life unto death. So also are the elect to be persecuted for this last time. This final stand of the empire of the Beast is a traumatic world-shattering event.

Verses 14-20: These two actions show the reaping of the Son of Man, which is the last harvest, and then the harvest of the winepress of the wrath of God (cf. the charts of F027xiii).

They are two distinct actions under two distinct messages and beings. They are under the direction of God, which indicates two specific time-related events carried by two messengers at separate times.

Thus, the system in the Last Days is unfolded through the fourfold sequence, which completes the Mysteries of God.

The First Angel’s Message is the everlasting Gospel and as such it does not change and has the same structure from Christ and the Apostles. Thus, it cannot be the mainstream system, because the entire system is based upon syncretic or innovative doctrines of the Councils of the Church.

The Second Angel’s Message brings down the Babylonian system. That message builds on the final work of the eternal Gospel in the First Angel’s Message.

The Third Angel’s Message gives warning of and to the system of the Beast, which destroys the Whore.

The Fourth and Fifth Angels’ Messages

The Fourth Angel’s Message is of two parts, the first being the harvest of (the one like unto) the Son of Man.

The second part or Fifth Angel’s Message is the winepress of the wrath of God.

With these five sequences the Millennium will be ushered in for the 1,000-year reign of Christ.

The Harvests of God, the New Moon Sacrifices, and the 144,000 (No. 120)

We see in Chapter 14: The 144,000 are sealed from on high. They know who they are when they are given the things by which they are distinguished. They are given the seal and also a new song.

In verses 1-5 we see: The women who defile the Earth are the false religions or churches who speak in the name of Christ. The false system is seen immediately following this text from Revelation 14:6 as the Babylonian system of false worship. The elect are not defiled by these systems. They are the first-fruits. This first-fruit system is one we see that becomes effective from the harvest of Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks. The Wave-Sheaf harvest or first of the first-fruits was Christ.

The selection of the 144,000 is tied to the numbers ordained by Christ. Many have assumed that the 144,000 are selected entirely from the final period of the Church. There is no real evidence to support that conjecture and, indeed, to ensure even distribution among the Gentiles, a long period is required. The numbers involved are significant. The number 144,000 allocated to forty Jubilees is 3,600 per Jubilee. Conversely, the period of forty Jubilees is also fifty generations. Thus 2,880 people were selected for each generation.

For those who adhere to the era system, this process must be distributed over seven Churches. Of the seven, two are unacceptable to God and only a small number of those make it into the Kingdom of God. These Churches are the Sardis and Laodicean. Those are two of the four Churches still alive at the return of Messiah (see Commentary on Revelation Chs. 2 and 3 (F066)). The other two are Philadelphia and Thyatira. Philadelphia is small, and Thyatira has most of its work done centuries before the return of Messiah. Thus, the number of the elect in the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries is small indeed. The allocation per Church is some 20,571 (20,571 x 7+3 = 144,000). The three are perhaps taken up in the transfiguration scene as Christ, Moses and Elijah. Allocated to five Churches, the number is increased to 28,800.

Given the full numbers of Thyatira and Philadelphia alive in the last days of the twentieth century, there is still only a maximum number of 57,600 able to be alive at any one time. Given the duration of two-and-a-half generations over the one hundred years, there is a maximum number alive of 23,040. This figure is inflated. A much lower figure is involved.

The 144,000 divided by years of the Jubilees are seventy-two per year. We might see some significance in this number. The Sanhedrin was seventy in number. This Council was established from Sinai as the Council of the Elders. The Council of Israel was established on a system of replication of the celestial system (Heb. 8:5). The Council of the Seventy was comprised of an Inner and an Outer Council, from the Psalms. The allocations were as thirty and forty per division, plus two (see Rev. 4 and 5 for the Inner Council).

Christ established this system of the Seventy again from Luke 10:1. The Seventy were ordained and dispatched two by two into every place where Christ was about to go. Thus, Christ was preceded by his disciples of the Seventy, in pairs. It is established so that it would occur over two thousand years. There were also seventy nations from the allocation of the Host to the nations according to the number of the Council. Thus there was also an allocation of 2,000 per nation to the 144,000 or central administration.

There is another aspect of this text. The Sanhedrin was never left at seventy for judgment. There was always seventy plus one in deliberation. However, something happens in relation to this structure when Christ ordains the Seventy. The Greek text shows that the word is hebdomekonta (or seventy) and [duo] (or two) is added in brackets to the text. The word is translated as seventy-two in Marshall’s Interlinear main text. However, most Bibles translate the word as seventy from its understood meaning. We are thus dealing with seventy who are accompanied by two. This structure was to epitomise the replication of the administrative model every year for forty Jubilees until the full number of 144,000 was selected. Of course, the sequence is symbolic and there may be more or less selected over the time frame as circumstances dictate or warrant. However, they symbolise a yearly system of sacrifice.

The preoccupation of the elect with the distinction between the 144,000 and the Multitude is unwarranted. More importantly, it could lead to self-righteousness. The purpose in the analysis of the numbers and structure is to develop the awareness of the administrative structure of the elect and the Government of God in the restoration. Only from the redemption of the 144,000 to the Lamb on Zion is the everlasting Gospel preached to the Earth (v. 6).

After this the Babylonian system shall fall (vv. 8-10).

The closure of the Temple until the end of the plagues of the wrath of God

The harvest ends with the last of the general Multitude that die in the Lord during the tribulation (Rev. 14:12-20).

These people who die in the Lord are those who keep the commandments of God. Thus, tribulation against the followers of Christ occurs right up until the time that Christ comes.

From the time that Messiah comes the harvest of the Earth is closed until the wrath of God subdues the Earth. There are seven angels released to affect this retribution on those who take the mark of the Beast. Those that had achieved victory over the Beast and his image and his mark or system were those who are then given the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb.

There is thus a conjunction between the Old and New Testaments. Both are necessary to salvation. Grace stems from Christ’s reconciliation to God under His commandments (see Nos. 152; 096B).

Chapter 15

No. 120 continues: (F066iv)

Verses 15:1-8: Note that no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues were ended. The Temple, as we have seen, is the elect [or body of Christ] which God is using to fill with Himself as the Holy Spirit. This process is halted until the Earth is brought into subjection under the seven plagues. This process is affected under authority of the Archangels or the Living Creatures that surround the Throne.

The harvests thus halt at the return of Messiah and before the actual beginning of the Millennium proper. That is why the Ingathering is taken up on the first night of the Feast of Tabernacles and cannot be left until the morning, by law (Ex. 23:19). All of the harvest of the first-fruits is done to an exact sequence and that is why the Law requires prompt payment (Ex. 22:29). Christ began this harvest as the first of the first-fruits as the Wave Sheaf. It lasted two thousand years and will go into the Millennium and end at the Great White Throne Judgment.

Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B)

The Vials of the Wrath of God

These are seven last plagues and with them the wrath of God is ended. The purpose is to bring mankind into subjection and force their re-education so that they can be prepared for the Millennium under the Laws of God (L1).

(Rev. 15:1-8).

No. 141E

It is over the Seven Vials (from v. 8) that the world sees no person allowed to enter the Temple of God until the Seven Vials are complete. This limits the capacity for any person to be baptised and enter the Temple of God after Messiah has arrived and is faced with the rebellion of the Host. If the church people have not repented and are excluded from the First Resurrection they will not be allowed to enter until they have all been faced with the Seven Vials of the Wrath of God. It is that serious for all concerned. The deceit of the ministry will have serious consequences for all concerned.

Chapter 16

(cf. No. 141)

Verses 1-2: These people persecute the elect. They are judged by that but it’s only a short-lived period as Christ will deal with this earthly system of idolatry. He will tear it down. It is not a question of simply punishing these people. It is a matter of bringing people to the point where God can alter their minds to go into the Millennium. Some people at this point in time cannot be dealt with in their present state. The example of the end days is shown in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where their mindset was such that God had to kill them. The destruction of Sodom was done by angels under instruction from Christ at the time, and Lot was taken out.

The reason why Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt was that she longed to be back into the system from which God brought her out. It was done as an example to us. Lot’s wife was destroyed so that we might understand that we cannot take anything from this system into the Millennium. The reason is that every sub-system and every part of the sub-systems of this system we are in now is inherently evil, in every aspect of it. That is why the new millennial system will be set up under the exact Law of Moses. The Law of Moses (i.e. God’s Law) was given to Moses and the elect together by Christ (cf. Commentary on Corinthians F046ii)). The elect are going to make the system given to Moses work.

The foul and evil sores are both a physical and spiritual concept. If one adopts ungodly systems, one adopts a series of problems. The physical aspect could be related to the reading of implant codes and the radiation problems associated with that fact. The implant codes are perhaps on the hands and the forehead for crowd control etc. The very fact of the existence of these earthly systems will cause these sores. These things are not God inflicting punishments on them, but are direct debilitating problems that arise from their actions. Everything one does has a consequence.

Verse 3: In wartime the security requirements will be increased and hence also the problems like this.

Verses 4-6: Every living thing dies. They were called to repentance under the Witnesses where a third die but in this case they destroy the seas – they destroy everything.

Verses 7-9: There will be no fresh water on the planet. Under the fourth seal a quarter die from famine and pestilence. Under the war of the sixth trumpet a third of the earth is killed. Matters are then down to the point where over half the planet is dead before they start this sequence. Two billion dead before they get into the Wrath of God. They are looking at the destruction of the earth.

Verses 10-11: God has power over the plagues. He can stop it in a minute. Why have they let half the planet die? All they had to do is repent. These people after all this still think they can dictate terms to God.

The elect are in Jerusalem as spirit beings under the protection of Christ, dealing with this while it is happening. They are dealing with the planet hand in hand with Christ.

Verse 12: The planet is breaking down. The Kings of the East are the Anotoli Heliou, or the Kings of the rising sun, who will come in over the Euphrates. Vast eastern armies will enter Israel towards Jerusalem.

This sixth angel’s trumpet seems to indicate that the coming of the Messiah is related to the drying up of the Euphrates, and that the Messiah does not come until this time. It appears that the Messiah comes to Jerusalem and then deals with the planet. The general populace at this time is given greater revelation and understanding and is then dealt with during the time of the sixth angel.

Revelation 16:12-16 deals with the battle of Armageddon or the war of Ezekiel. There is also a cross-reference to Luke 19:27.

Luke 19:27But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'" (RSV)

This is not an off-hand remark. This one line is the entire battle of Armageddon. The armies of the nations are brought down and slain before Christ at this battle. The religious structure of the world is then destroyed; the mainstream Christian Churches are destroyed by the Beast (cf. Chapters 17 and 18),

(see Nos 299B and also 288 and 141D_3).

The Seventh Trumpet

Verses 17-21: This earthquake is even greater than the earthquake of the heavenly signs in the sixth seal. The problem compounds as the seals develop. The sixth seal warned the earth of the Advent of Messiah and the wrath of God, yet they did not repent. This last action destroys the entire system of false religion and Satan’s activities on the planet.

The sequences of the trumpets and seals in terms of turning the rivers to blood are already set in motion. The red tides etc. are already in the seas – they are already starting. They have not killed a third of the rivers and a third of the fish life, but they have started. The point the Bible is making is that the process is ongoing and that each trumpet is a result of the previous activity.

The culmination is that Christ deals with everybody. After Christ has taken the planet through the trumpets, he is then ready for the great battle of God Almighty and the Vials. This is the war of Ezekiel in the sixth seal. Ezekiel’s prophecies for the 20^thcentury are in (No. 036); and (No. 036_2).

Chapter 16 (141B cont.)

Verses 1-2: So one of the Cherubim that surrounded the throne of God gave the seven angels charged with the task the seven vials or bowls with the plagues of the wrath of God. They were then told to go and pour the vials out on the earth (or the sun).

The marks of the first vial deal with the false religions of the earth in the last days. This is the judgment of the whore and all those who followed the Babylonian system throughout the earth. NO nation will be safe from this vial or from the others. Every minister and priest that does not follow the Laws of God and the Sacred Calendar and teaches others not to do so will die (see also the paper God’s Calendar (No. 156)). Every nation will be required to keep the Sabbaths and New Moons and the Feasts and at Tabernacles they must send their national representatives to Jerusalem under Messiah to be given direction. Those that do not do so will get no rain in due season and they will suffer the plagues of Egypt (Zech. 14:16-19). This is not negotiable and will continue on for the next 1100 years.

Second and Third Vials

Verses 3-7: The second and third vials deal with the capacity to survive either on land or by sea. As they judged the servants of God who are the saints and the prophets they themselves are judged. All of those people who tried to keep the laws of God and the Sabbaths and the Sacred calendar and were killed for it over the centuries will be resurrected and sit in judgment on these nations and they will be forced to comply with God’s laws.

The Fourth Vial

The next vial concerns the world political systems and the scientists who used the natural cycles of the planet to take over the structure and enforce political change and social engineering through the false teachings of global warming in the last days. As Global Warming was held and taught to be man-made contrary to the historical facts of the matter related to solar cycles the world is taught that it is God that deals with man and saves or heals and feeds them. The scientists continue to oppose the direction of Messiah and the Host and are punished for what they do to the earth.

Verses 8-9: Instead of repenting and giving God glory they do not repent and are made to suffer when they did not need to so suffer. The entire world opposes Christ and sends their armies against him and then, when they are forced to face it in their own lands, they curse God rather than repent (see the papers Global Warming and Biblical Prophecy (No. 218) and Global Warming – Historical Cycles (No. 218B)) and the final phase from 2021 to 2028 (No. 218C). Science and Evolution are the religions dealt with under this vial.

The Fifth Vial

Verses 10-11: The Beast is the New World Order that set up its empire in these last days and was controlled by the politicians and the bankers and the servants of Satan that were given rulership over the world and its International financial system including the IMF and the World Bank and the Ten regional systems symbolised by the Ten Toes of the Feet of Iron and Miry Clay (F027ii, xii, xii).

Christ first kills the leaders of this system based in Jerusalem at his return and then destroys the International monetary system based in Europe and UK and the US and in Japan and China and the other national unions that are part of it.

The entire world’s financial system and the bankers that conspired to destroy the nations are themselves destroyed and the financial systems and the commercial systems of the world are destroyed. The destruction begins with Europe and the US. The computerised systems of power and heating and light are destroyed by electromagnetic pulse and it is in darkness.

The Sixth Vial

After the forces of the King of the North under NATO are destroyed at Megiddo, and Christ deals with the financial system, the Euphrates and the Arab systems are brought to subjection and then the Asians march against Christ at Megiddo coming in over Iran and Iraq and through the Euphrates basin.

Prior to that invasion, the satanic forces prepare the opposition to Messiah through the foul spirits of the satanic forces using the Beast system and the power of Satan and the religious system in the last days based on the Sun Cults initially centred on Rome but who then move to the headquarters of the King of the North, and at Jerusalem over the 42 months.

As soon as Christ arrives at the Mount of Olives it splits in two; but also Satan is seized and bound in the bottomless pit. The false prophet is also killed with the Antichrist (see No. 141D_3A) and then Christ begins to deal with the world systems firstly in Europe and the US and the Americas but then throughout the world from Russia to China and Japan. All armies of the world in these last days march against Christ and the Host at Jerusalem and Megiddo. There they are destroyed and their resources used for Israel over the Millennium,

Verses 12-16: This reference goes back to the demons sent out before the coming of the Messiah just before the advent also. Not one army or force will be left standing. The ones who survive will be those who have kept their garments clean and are faithful to the Commandments of God and the Faith or testimony of Christ (Rev. 12:17; 14:12).

The Seventh Vial

Verses 17-21: It is at this phase that the entire earth systems are affected by the effects of the vials and the heating of the earth by the solar activity. The solar heat warms it up, melts much of the ice, and covers the islands of the world. The vials change the structure of the earth. From the return of the Messiah and the ending of the tongue of the Red Sea and through to the great earthquake and the Red Sea Rift and into Africa there is great climatic change which is then used as a punishment for the nations. The hail of a hundredweight (v. 21) is massive and will cause massive destruction and reorganisation of the living conditions of the planet. The reorganisation will continue into the Millennium. Little will remain of this world’s system.

The Great Prostitute and the Beast

Rev. 17:1-18 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters, ²with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk." ³And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication; ⁵and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations." ⁶And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly. ⁷But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. ⁸The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. ⁹This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; ¹⁰they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while. ¹¹As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition. ¹²And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. ¹³These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast; ¹⁴they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful." ¹⁵And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. ¹⁶And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, ¹⁷for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. ¹⁸And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."

The demons hate this whore that has been given rulership over the kings of the earth and corrupted their future and their understanding and peace. The demons have issued their prophecies against her (No. 288) as did God issue them through the prophets (see Dan. F027ii, xi, xii, xiii; Nos 036, 036_2); 299A; and 299B; 141D_3). These are the Trinitarian Sunday Cults of the Sun and Mystery systems, and they will be destroyed entirely down to the penetrations they made into the Sardis and Laodicean systems of the Churches of God.

The demons had planned to exterminate mankind as we see in Planned Destruction of Humanity (No. 141D_2B). That is part of the Great Tribulation (No. 141D_2).

They will almost succeed as is outlined in prophecy. The only ones who will survive that event is the Holy Seed of Isa. 6:9-13 and Amos 9:1-15). By the commencement of the Millenium under Messiah there will only be the Holy Seed left alive and they will be keeping the Sabbaths, New Moons and the Feasts of the Temple Calendar (No. 156). All others not repentant and doing so will be dead (Isa. 66:23-24; Zech. 14:16-21). All nations will send their representatives to attend the Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem, while the nations keep it at home, or they will commence to die until they repent, as they are required to do in the text of Revelation. The first to be forced to repent will be Judah, of their sins including Hillel, and those that do not will die. If necessary, all of them. Then also it will be Israel that is dealt with along with Judah. The Warning of the Holocaust from 1941-1945 saw over six million die along with many of Laodicea and Sardis. Israel simply has to adopt the Temple Calendar and get rid of Sunday, Christmas and Easter of the Sun Cults, as does the rest of the world.

The Beast turns on the Whore and destroys it at Rome (Sack of the Vatican (No. 141D_3).

The next phase sees the total destruction of the Trinitarian system over the empire of the Beast and then under the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E) and the War Against Christ (No. 141E_2).

Chapter 17

(cf. 141B):

The Judgment of the Whore over the Vials of the Wrath of God

The explanation of the destruction of the religious whore of Babylon is given in the next two chapters. One thing that must be clearly understood is that there is no negotiation and no action in these false religious systems will go unpunished. The Sun Cults and their days of worship other than on the Sabbaths and New Moons and Feasts of God will be destroyed. Not one single system of worship that is not condoned or authorised by the Bible system, and that includes the great heresy of Hillel II and apostate Judaism, will be allowed to survive. None of their priests of the Baal system will be allowed to survive and that includes all these black cassocked priests worshipping on Sundays or Fridays in mosques or even on Sabbaths in Judaism. They will not be allowed to survive. They will all repent or die, and that includes the Churches of God. Not one of these self-righteous Sunday worshipping Trinitarian Baptists, Episcopalians, Anglicans, Orthodox or Roman Catholic priests of the American or European systems will be allowed to survive without repentance. It does not matter how much they preach against the Messiah and the Temple system that will be established from Jerusalem; they will repent or die. Scripture cannot be broken (Jn. 10:34-36). The entire US and North American religious systems based on their civil calendar of the festivals of the Sun Cults will be destroyed as will those of Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America. They will all make war on the Lamb and march against him over the vials of the wrath of God. However, the whore and all her followers in all the Mystery and Sun Cults will be destroyed, as will every building and statue or icon and obelisk or edifice they construct. They will all be destroyed before the commencement of the millennial system. Nothing of this idolatry will go into it or be used in its construction (Rev. 17:1-15).

This whore is dealt with over the last days by the Beast, and she is destroyed by the Beast itself under this last empire of the Ten Economic Regions of the NWO of the Beast.

Verses 16-18: This is and was Rome that was the centre of the last empires of the Babylonian system and after its seat of power is destroyed (cf. 299B) and it moves to Jerusalem it will itself be destroyed by Messiah under the direction of God who judges her. Then the entire world is brought to submission under Messiah through the tribulation of the Vials of the Wrath of God and the entire world will be brought into subjection to God under Christ ruling from Jerusalem.

141E

The time frame we see involved in the Last Days as we have proceeded through Parts I and II above is the five months of the War of the Fifth Trumpet and then the devastation of the Sixth Trumpet which is very fast, and then the 1260 days of the Witnesses; the Four days of the coming of the Messiah to 1264 days and then the Hour of the Beast. A prophetic hour is less than a calendar month of the Messiah and the world giving its power to the Beast to make war against the Messiah and the Elect (Rev. 17:11-18).

If we take the period of the Conflict where the 1260 plus the 30 days of the four plus the remainder for the 30 to 1290 days and then 45 days to the 1335 days we see that a 45-day period is left after the Battles of Armageddon where the Abomination that makes Desolate is brought down and seemingly set up in the Holy Place at the coming of the Messiah and the wars of Armageddon and seemingly for the subjugation in the Vials of the Wrath of God and the end of the structure of rebellion. Blessed are they that come to the end of the 1335 days and the Final Restoration under the Messiah (cf. charts in F027xiii).

In this time Christ returns. He kills this leader at his coming and then brings all the systems of the North and the East down to Megiddo to be destroyed. This is the battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16:16. It also reflects the battle fought by Josiah against Pharaoh Necho in Megiddo at the time of the rise of the Babylonians at the battle of Carchemish (see also 2Chr. 35:22ff.). God was dealing with the matter then and told Judah, out of the mouth of Necho, to stay out of it but Josiah would not listen, and its leaders were destroyed. At this time he will restore Judah under Christ (cf. 141E; 141E_2).

After that event the war will continue to escalate until the planet is almost entirely destroyed. Yet they will not repent.

The sequence is also described in the papers The Seven Seals (No. 140) and The Seven Trumpets (No. 141).

The Fall of Babylon

Revelation 18:1-24

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor. ²And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird; ³For all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness." ⁴Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; ⁵for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. ⁶Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed. ⁷As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, 'A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,' ⁸so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her." ⁹And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning; ¹⁰they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come." ¹¹And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo any more, ¹²cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, ¹³cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. ¹⁴"The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!" ¹⁵The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, ¹⁶"Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! ¹⁷In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off ¹⁸and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?" ¹⁹And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.²⁰Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!" ²¹Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more; ²²and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard in thee no more; ²³and the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery. ²⁴And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."

Chapter 18

(cf. No 120) see also F066v)

The KJV refers to Babylon as a great city. However, the term is implied from other texts, particularly Revelation 18:10,18,19,21-24.

This false religious system deceives the whole world by sorcery. The word is pharmakeia or pharmacy, i.e. medicine, hence magic and thence sorcery. The Babylonian system relied on magic and mysticism as its religious base. It spread to the whole world before the final destruction. It is a whore from Revelation 17:1. The whore is a woman or Church in the prophetic sense. The system is seated on a city of seven hills (Rev. 17:9). This woman commits spiritual fornication with the kings of the Earth over a long period of time. The Beast that is to rule the Earth comes from the kings that this whore has set up (Rev. 17:14). This system makes war with the Lamb. Thus the system is alive until the return of the Messiah. The whore is drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. This church has thus killed many of the elect on religious grounds. This system is powerful and wields authority over a system which itself is blasphemous (Rev. 17:3-6).

Revelation 18:1-24: This city is destroyed along with the cities that rule with her and the entire financial system of the world as ruled by this Beast. This Beast that destroyed this whore is destroyed and then through its wanton rebellion places the entire world under the vengeance of God. It is doubtful in the extreme if the American and World political system can hold together over these last days as its system is torn apart and its social groups reorganise into armed camps and probably insurrection. Internment camps will be all over the world as terrorists are interned.

Verses 1-3 show a great Angel coming down with great authority and he called out to declare with a mighty voice that Babylon is fallen. As it fell centuries ago it must be referring to the system that was established under Daniel Chapter 2 and the sequence of the empires and the centres that take over the power of the false system under the successive empires of the Beast (cf. F027ii, F027xiii)). The final system is the Church under Rome and the system in conflict, the Empire of the Beast, formed in ten regions that destroys the Whore of Revelation 17. The city is full of demons and it is in conflict with the other false religions of the world coming out of the Middle East and Asia against its false religion in the West with her harlot daughters. It is with her and these that the kings of the earth and all nations have drunk of the wine of her impure passions and committed fornication with her. It is her false doctrines that are to be destroyed along with her.

Then another voice (v. 4) spoke to the people of God and said come out of her my people lest you share in her plagues, for her sins are heaped as high as heaven and God has remembered her iniquity (v. 5). This religious whore seated at the last centre of the seven hills that has corrupted the Laws of God and rendered them of no effect will be destroyed as she herself has inflicted on the servants of God and she will be repaid double and she will receive a double draught mixed for her in the cup she mixed (v. 6). As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so she will be given a like measure of torment and mourning as she says she sits as a queen, she is no widow and mourning she shall never see (v. 7). God has said that so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire for mighty is the Lord God who judges her (v. 8). And the kings of the earth that committed fornication and were wanton with her will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. They will distance themselves in fear of her torment. They will be frightened because in one hour has her judgment come (vv. 9-10). So also the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for what we see is the destruction of the commercial systems of the planet. This is not just from Rome and Europe but of the commercial systems of the planet including all their produce and their human slaves (vv. 11-13). All of the wealth and splendour of this system will be laid waste. The merchants will stand far off in fear of the torment weeping and mourning aloud (vv. 14-15). In one hour all the wealth of this great system is laid waste (vv. 16-17). It is this religious system that grew into the EU with its religious system in Rome and Canterbury and Greece and Moscow which will be destroyed and burnt along with its commercial systems also and its entire mercantile and shipping systems destroyed in one hour (vv. 18-19).

It is clear that God has purposed her destruction and that Heaven and the Loyal Host are to rejoice and also the saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for them against this religious whore and her harlot daughters. This is obviously a massive biochemical and nuclear destruction to achieve such devastation in one prophetic hour. This at the very longest can only be less than a month and may be a fraction of that (v. 20).

God shall judge her for the penalties and punishments she has inflicted on the saints of God in all the inquisitions she has inflicted on God’s people as the elect who sought to follow His Commandments and the Testimony and Faith of Jesus Christ (cf. Role of the Fourth Commandment in the Historical Sabbath-keeping Churches of God (No. 170)). (Cf. also (No. 122), (No. 288), (No. 290) and (No.290B)).

The entire Trinitarian system will be destroyed. Babylon will be destroyed and thrown down with violence and be silenced for evermore as we see from verses 21-23. For in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who had been slain upon the earth (v. 24).

Revelation 19:1-5 After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, ²for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants." ³Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever." ⁴And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" ⁵And from the throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great."

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Revelation 19:6-10 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. ⁷Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; ⁸it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure"—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. ⁹And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God." ¹⁰Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Rider on a White Horse

Revelation 19:11-21 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. ¹²His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself. ¹³He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. ¹⁴And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses. ¹⁵From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. ¹⁶On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords. ¹⁷Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, ¹⁸to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great." ¹⁹And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army. ²⁰And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. ²¹And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

Chapter 19

Salvation and Restoration of the Church of God

Over this period with the final destruction of the False system and finally by the Messiah, and from the First Resurrection (No. 143A) of the Saints, the Church of God is saved and the saints are resurrected to the Temple of God in the Millennium and all those who did not worship the Beast or take its mark will be saved and the tribes will be restored and taken to their places of heritage (Isa. 65:17-25). The world will then be taught the laws of God and the faith once delivered to the saints.

Revelation 19:1-3: God has judged the whore, and salvation and glory and power belong to God. His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great harlot who has corrupted the earth with her fornication and avenged on her the blood of His Servants. The smoke of the city of the whore goes up as a perpetual monument. God is then worshipped from the Throne room by the 24 elders and the four living Creatures and from there came a voice calling for praise from His Servants small and great who fear Him (vv. 4-5).

There is then complete control and unity in the creation and the declaration of his reign is made and the Marriage supper of the Lamb is made and the Bride is clothed in fine linen which is the righteous deeds of the saints (vv. 6-8) (cf. Trumpets (No. 136)).

The angel was then given to say: Blessed are those invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. These are true words of God (v. 9).

Then an important distinction is made. The angel refused any obeisance and said that only God was to be worshipped and that the Testimony of Jesus was the spirit of prophecy (v. 10). Christ is then revealed from heaven as the word of God at the head of an army of the Host all on white horses. He is faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war (v. 11). He has eyes of fire and on his head are many diadems (v. 12). He is clad in a robe dipped in blood as the Word of God (v. 13). The armies of heaven that followed him were arrayed in pure white linen (v. 14). From the mouth of the Messiah issued a sharp sword with which to smite the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron under the wrath of God (v. 15). He is inscribed with the title King of kings and Lord of Lords. The birds of the earth are called to eat the bodies of the Kings of the earth and their armies and men both small and great (vv. 16-18). The beast and the armies of the nations gathered together to make war against the Messiah and his armies. They were destroyed and the beast was captured and with it was the false prophet who had in the presence of the beast deceived all who had taken its mark and who had worshipped its image. These were false spirits as concepts that were thrown into the lake of fire as a memorial and the rest were slain by the Sword of the Word of God seated on the White Horse (vv. 20-21) (see also No. 141D_3A)

He will eliminate all false worship and the system of the demons before him.

(cf. Also Wars of the End Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E) and War Against Christ (No. 141E_2); Wars of the End Part IV: End of False Religion (No. 141F)).

Those who do not keep the Laws of God and obey Him will be forced, in the vials of the wrath of God, to come to obedience and those who will not repent will die and be dealt with in the Second Resurrection of the Dead (see the paper The Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B)). These also face the Second Death (No. 143C).

All nations and lands will be restored for the new 121^st Jubilee and the beginning of the Millennium, and the restoration for the millennial system commencing in 2028.

The system at Jerusalem will commence the healing of the nations and the regrowth of sea life from the rivers of Jerusalem from under the Temple Mount and the city.

The rest of the world that is left alive will keep the Laws of God for the next thousand years. At the end of that thousand years Satan will be released again and the last war of the end will occur. Then the hundred years of the Second Resurrection of the Dead will occur.

The Beast and the Whore of Revelation

As we saw in the text The Millennium and the Rapture (No. 095).

“Edward Gibbon states on detailing the extent of the Vatican influence, 'during ten centuries of blindness and servitude, Europe received her religious opinions from the oracles of the Vatican, and the same doctrine, already varnished with the rust of antiquity was admitted without dispute into the creed of the reformers who disclaimed the supremacy of the Roman Pontiff'.”

The denials of the Vatican and the Roman Church that it is the Whore of Revelation and the power broker of Europe and the world, and of the Babylonian system referred to in Revelation, is beyond reason and intellectually absurd. The Harlot daughters referred to in the text can only be the Trinitarian Church system which she spawned. The text of Revelation and the entire Scriptures prophesy the return of the Messiah at the end of this age and the entire destruction of the Babylonian system of the Sun and Mystery Cults and the Trinitarian system which it spawned along with the many other religious systems infecting the world religious systems. Christ will then reign for one thousand years as the “Millennium.” That period will be also Twenty Jubilees. The next Jubilee commences in 2028, and the period would then end in 3027 with the Second Resurrection occurring in 3027 to 3127.

To suggest that the Roman system was the millennial reign of Christ on earth is an outrageous blasphemy. It and the entire Trinitarian system on earth is the Whore and her harlot daughters that are drunk on the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs.

The Witnesses when they arrive in the near future will commence to expose the sins and heresy with the Nexus of the Law of God and the sinners will begin to die. When the Messiah returns in power and strength with the heavenly host he will destroy this system in its entirety. Not one element of its heretical beliefs and practices will go into the Millennium.

We are now seeing the world plunged into war and The Great Tribulation (No. 141D_2) has commenced and the Planned Destruction of Humanity (No. 141D_2B) is underway. The sequence is developed in the text The Sack of the Vatican (No. 141D_3) and the text of the False Prophet and the Antichrist (No. 141D_3A) and the Fall of Babylon (No. 141D_3B) is explained herein. The Great Wars being unleashed upon us are explained at Wars of the End: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C). The demons will now unleash their full power on the whore and her harlot daughters around the world. We will soon see the War of the Sixth Trumpet explained in the text above and in No. 141C_2.

Also the US Civil Calendar and system is a monument to Satan. It is founded on the Pagan Days of Human Sacrifice of the Sun and Mystery Cults in the pagan and witchcraft systems and will be eradicated over the Tribulation now ahead (cf. CB023; CB097).

The demons are not allowed under the Laws of God to interfere with the Feasts on the correct days and so they cannot commence until after Tabernacles of the Temple Calendar. Therefore, we can expect the demons to take immediate action to enforce the Tribulation from EENT or Dark after the Last Great Day of 22/07/47/120 which is Dark 24 September 2024. Those keeping Hillel in the Eighth month instead of the Seventh will find it very difficult indeed.

Satan and the demons will now proceed to destroy the Babylonian system worldwide and will strike at all the centres of the heresy everywhere. They will cause strikes on London, Paris, Rome and all over Europe, Moscow, Greece and the entire Trinitarian centres there. They will strike Turkey, Mecca, and all modern Islamic centres and on into Asia. They will strike New York and all over the Americas. The Beast will turn on the Whore and destroy it over the next four years and Messiah will deal with what they do not destroy. By 2028 there will be no functioning Trinitarian Church or apologist or any other religious faith operating anywhere in the world. All people will keep the Law of God and the Testimony and the Temple Calendar that flows from the law as part of the Saints (Rev. 12:17: 14:12), or they will die. The Calendar is at:

http://ccg.org/Calendar/Gods_Calendar.htm

In the next chapters of Revelation Chapters 20-22 in Part V (F066v) we see the details of the Resurrections of the Dead in Chapter 20. These texts deal with the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A) and the Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B). After the Second and Final Resurrection and the final Restoration of the Planet we will see the coming of the City of God (No. 180) and we will all be elohim as sons of God and humans will no longer exist, their purpose having been completed.
