Day 89 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days

Good morning; today we should finish the bible and leave the last day to reflect on this great task and journey. It is really exciting and liberating as well as educationally edifying to do this because we learn something new each day we read, even when you redo this bible reading you'll find new things you didn't see previously. So let us finish today's reading.

Revelation 19

Now the Lord has taken down the great whore, the beast or Babylon the great and the heavens are rejoicing now and are praising God. The marriage of the Lamb has finally come, the whore pretending to be married to Jesus has been removed and the real wife, Israel, has cleaned herself up in fine white linen. Blessed are all who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. John bowed down after seeing all this to worship the angel speaking to him; but was told to get up because the angel is a fellowservant and is a brother that has the testimony Jesus and told John to worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Holy Spirit or Comforter is not to be worship and does not go into the trinity God head.
The Final Battle with Jesus
¹⁶And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
John saw heaven open with Jesus sitting on a white horse judging and making war. Jesus had eyes of fire and wore many crowns, not just one like the false prophet attempted to emulate. His clothing looked like they were dipped in blood, remember in Isaiah 63 when He said He treaded His enemies like a wine press. Here it is again.
His name is the Word of God; in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word was with God. There it is. Jesus had armies with Him; at this point He has all the angels and the resurrected saints who met Him in the air as Paul spoke in Thessalonioans. When one is coming with armies; it is going to be a get down and lay down scenario and no more conversations at this point..
²⁰And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
An angel then told all the wild beast of the earth to come to this battle so they can supper, a great supper of the great God where they will eat on kings, and captains, and mighty men, and men. Vultures will be able to swim in blood in this supper. The kings of the earth are going to initially be warring with each other getting closer and closer to pulling the nuclear bomb trigger, when all of the sudden the Lord will show up and intervene. This will cause the nations to temporarily settle their differences and fight against the Lord. It's a horrible move to fight against immortals. Obviously the armies do not believe that the Lord and His armies are immortal. The Lord will summon the beast, the military leader of the western Gentile nations and the false prophet (the abomination that causes desolations), and put them into the lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone into the lake of fire prior to judgement day. Everyone else will be killed by the Lord Jesus and their dead bodies will be fed to the beast of the earth.

Revelation 20

⁴And 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.
After the head of the Gentile beast and the false prophet are put away into a lake of fire created for their boss, Satan, then Satan is locked away in a bottomless pit for one day, a thousand years. He is put away to stop deceiving the nations during this Sabbath day of peace, the thousand year millennium period, Satan will be locked out until the end to try some who have never been tempted; because all need to be tempted.
Then John saw thrones (plural), and the people sitting on these thrones were given judgment. We see the rigorous process Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is going through to be the top judge in America. By keeping the commandments we are going that process as we go through life and will be given a seat of judgment and reign with Jesus Christ for the entire Sabbath day (thousand years). Those who are judging have made the first resurrection.
⁵But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
If you did not make the first resurrection then you will remain asleep (dead) until after the thousand years are complete. It says you are blessed if you make the first resurrection because the second death has no power over you and you will be kings and priest and will reign with Jesus a thousand years (v5-6).
After the thousands years are expired, Satan will be release to do what he does best, deceive, and even after a thousand years with Jesus on the earth teaching the truth, Satan will still be able to deceive and influence billions of people to come up against Jerusalem to war. The only thing is they will not succeed.
¹³And 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.
Finally the devil is thrown into the lake of fire where the head of the Gentile military or political party is and where the false prophet have been for the last 1000 years being tormented. It is taught that when one goes into the lake of fire they are simply burned up. Burning a dead body cannot be torment. You have to be alive to be tormented. After this there is the great white throne judgment we read about in Daniels and the Lord spoke of in many parables in the New Testament gospels, all will stand before the Lord and other judges and be judged out of the bible to see if their names are written in the book of life. I see people fall and crumble when the judge says not guilty in a court of law for a murder charge or robbery; or they cry in fear and anger when they are found guilty. When people are being judged on shows like American Idol; the contestants cry bitterly or get angry. Can you imagine how it will be when you are being judged on your life and how you lived it according the bible we've just read over the past 89 days. We all have major cleaning up to do; and I may be the one at the top of the list for need of cleaning up. Every man will be judged according to their works.
Why your works when Paul all along said faith in Jesus Christ? Because your faith will show your works. An exercise will show how this works. Get a glass of water and set it on the table and pray to the Lord to bring the water to your lips to drink. Watch how long this takes to complete. Beg the water to come to your lips, positive think the water to your lips, demand the water to your lips, claim the water to your lips. Have you kept track of the time? Now pick the cut of water up and drink it.
It takes works the glass and the water has been provided by the Lord all you have to do is drink it. Your works will always show what you believe or have faith in. If you believe and have faith that you will be ticketed or arrested for driving without a license, then you will not drive a car.
¹⁴And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Death and hellish situations were also thrown in the lake of fire and John let's us know this is the second death, this is the death you under no circumstances want to have to go into because there is no coming out of it for the simple fact that the Lord has spoken that it is forever. He cannot lie.

Revelation Chapter 21

²And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
⁵And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Every one has been judged those to eternal shame are in their place and those in the Lord's kingdom in their place and here comes the new heaven and earth. One with no waters, it was coming down out from heaven; and one announced that the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them. The Lord will wipe all tears away because there will be no more dying, sorrow, crying, pain, and all the things we have put ourselves through by disobeying the Lord.
If we over come we will inherit all things but look who won't inherit anything but death itself:
⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Now the Lord's bride is seen coming down out of heaven from God, clear as crystal with twelve gates with twelve angels standing at each gate and the twelve tribes of the children of Israel names on the gate. You may be surprised that Peter is not sitting in front of a two door gate, since he had the keys to the kingdom. You have to become Israel to go through these gates. That does not mean we become physically changed to become Jews, we have to adopt the ways of the children of Israel who keep the covenant of the Lord. In other words, we have to become spiritually Israelites to become children of God.
During that thousand years of peace, the Lord will be adopting nations as He adopted Jacob. When He adopted Jacob He gave him His name, Israel. Thus the entire earth will wear the name Israel, which is the Lord's name.
¹³On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
¹⁸And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
There was no temple in the city; only the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb were the temple. We still only have God the Father and God the Son, Paul perhaps didn't greet the Holy Ghost as God because the Holy Ghost is a ministering spirit. So this is certainly the Father's kingdom because Christ kingdom had a temple in it. All Spirit beings shine so the city had no need for the sun or moon. A key point in verse 24 to remember is that nations and kings still exist even in the Father's kingdom. You'll still have Germany; but they will be a righteous and immortal Germany because nothing that defiles or works abominable things will come into the city.

Revelation 22

¹And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
²In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
³And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
⁴And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
⁵And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
⁶And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
⁷Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
¹¹He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
¹²And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
¹³I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
¹⁴Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
¹⁵For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
¹⁶I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
¹⁸For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
¹⁹And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
²⁰He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
²¹The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Amen and AMEN
We have finished the bible from front to back. All stories have happy endings, even the trues story of them all that we live called life. We have the choice to make it a very happy ending for ourselves. We will reflect tomorrow on all we have learned and read.
