Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 20:7-10 is about Satanic Rebellion Crushed.
We learn first from Revelation 19:17-21
Revelation 19:20-2119:20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
19:21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.It refers to the end of the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. Afterward, the Antichrist and false prophets will be cast into the hell and the feast of slaughter by the sword judgment or the sword of the Word which is rejected will happen to the following people.
- The people who do not know Jesus.
- The church that rejects the sword of the Word until not experiencing the sanctification and renewal. They are not evacuated to the wilderness, but enter the persecution of the Antichrist and worship him.
They are not resurrected for one thousand years.
Revelation 20:1-320:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
20:3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.Afterwards, the Devil is bound and cast into the prison, namely the bottomless pit for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:7-1020:7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison
20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
20:9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.After the one thousand years, he will be released to make war together with the evil spirits from the age of Cain against the good spirits from the age of Abel. Nevertheless, God will make fire come down from heaven to devour them and the Devil is cast into the hell, where the Antichrist and false prophets are.
Revelation 20:11-12,14-1520:11 Then I saw a great white throneand Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.The dead people who do not know Jesus and the Christians who do not repent or the evil spirits from the age of Cain will face the white throne for being judged and punished while the good spirits will enter the heavenly kingdom.
Matthew 5:23-255:23 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
5:24 "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
5:25 "Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.Our attitude while we are living in the world will determine whether we will go to the white throne or the throne of heavenly kingdom. Therefore, we must reconcile to God and other people quickly or finish all sins. We must not add sins or blame at others.
The process to reconcile is as follows:
- By the encouragement of God or the Word, we can realize our sin, regret, and confess it to God and other people. Being forgiven, we do not repeat the sin.
By the encouragement of the Word, we can forgive and forget the sins of others.
As a result, the blood of Jesus washes our sins away, so we can repent or stop sinning and return to God. We die to sin.
- It begins from the sin of adultery in deeds and desire in heart.
Matthew 5:27-28
5:27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- The unclean and evil sight is changed into the holy one, so we can see Jesus, the High Priest who sits at the right side of the throne of Father God.
Matthew 5:29
5:29 "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
- The unclean and evil deeds which harm others.
Matthew 5:30
5:30 "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
- The sin of divorce because of the hard heart and self-truth.
Matthew 5:31-32
5:31 "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
5:32 "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
- Do not swear, lie, or break promise, but be sincere and honest!
Matthew 5:34,37
5:34 "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;
5:37 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
- Paying the debt of sin through the water baptism.
Matthew 5:26
5:26 "Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
Colossians 2:11-14
2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
2:12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
2:14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
By the encouragement of the command of God or the true teaching Word, we must undergo the circumcision of Christ or the true water baptism, namely one who has died to sin must be buried in water with Jesus and raised from water with Him. As a result, the heavens are opened or we get the new life or the heavenly one. All debts of sin have been paid. The proof is the righteous life as well as the peaceful heart. All things become easy and light.
Hebrews 3:7-8
3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,
3:8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Do not harden your hearts like a big part of Israel who did not believe nor obey God, so they kept on sinning and not making reconciliation, but blaming at God and others.
Hebrews 3:12
3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
Moreover, they depart from faith like Judas Iscariot. It means choosing the other voice or false teachings more than the voice of God or the true teaching Word. They leave the true teaching Word to turn to the false teachings.
1 Timothy 4:1
4:1 Now the Spirit expresslysays that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
We must always live in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we have the firmness for the following things:
- Holding fast and obeying the true teaching Word.
- Firmly rejecting the false teachings or gossip.
- Firmly reconciling to God and others or finishing sins, repenting, and living in righteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:18-205:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
5:20 Now then, we are ambassadorsfor Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf,be reconciled to God.
Acts 10:35-3610:35 "But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
10:36 "The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--If the Gentiles have reconciled to God and others and lived in righteousness, they will be trusted as the ambassador of Christ, the priests, or God's servants that can take part in the ministry by Jesus, the High Priest, until Israelites and Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ. It is the same as the ministry for the edification of Christ's body according to the gifts and ministry which God has entrusted.
2 Timothy 1:6 1:6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.Hebrews 1:7 1:7 And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire."We minister to God faithfully and fervently in spirit. We become the servant of God who is like the flame of fire.
Daniel 7:9 7:9 "I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;It is the same being the throne of God.
Revelation 22:1 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.As a result, a pure river water of life of Holy Spirit proceeds from the throne of God. The functions are as follows:
- Holy Spirit renewsour life until being as clear as crystal. It means being honest or not hiding anything.
Holy Spirit performs the physical miracles to remove impossibilities and finish all impossible problems.
- Holy Spirit is able to give lifein the Dead Sea.
Ezekiel 47:8-10
47:8Then he said to me: "This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.
47:9 "And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.
47:10 "It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.
It means that Holy Spirit is able to protect and preserve our life physically in the midst of the difficulties in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. Spiritually, Holy Spirit protects us, so we can keep on living in righteousness and holiness in the midst of sins up to the peak.
Romans 8:13
8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Holy Spirit is able to make the dead or passive service and ministry to God alive or faithful and fervent in spirit.
The holy, faithful, and fervent in spirit servant of God becomes the apple of His eye that cannot be charged against by anything.
- Holy Spirit is able to change the dry spiritual life to be the garden of joy.
Ezekiel 34:26,29
34:26 "I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.
34:29 "I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore.
God blesses you.
