The Two Witnesses - Salvation of Israel

Dear Saints: We will finally see God’s desire and in particular, the cry of Apostle Paul come to pass at the very end of the age. “ 25  For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel [the Jewish people and nation] until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.  26  And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;  27  For this  is  My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” Romans 11:25-27. As we continue our study of the book of Revelation, within the interlude of chapter 11, we meet the Two Witnesses who will preach the Gospel of Christ to the Jewish people in Jerusalem for three and half years. God will open their eyes and the Jewish nation will receive Jesus as their true Messiah (the Christ), who they pierced and previously rejected. Hallelujah! Let’s read Revelation

No More Time For Delays - The Mighty Angel

Dear Saints, Recap: We the church have been raptured (caught up) into heaven with our spiritual bodies. Then, and afterward, the Tribulation period started when Jesus took the Scroll and began to open the seven seals in Revelation 6. First appeared the Antichrist and the initial wars and calamities as each of the seven Seals of the Scroll were opened. Thereafter, was the first interlude in chapter seven of Revelation when we learned of the 144K and the great multitude that was sealed and saved. After that, Jesus opened the Seventh Seal of the Scroll and it ushered in the Seven Trumpet judgments.  The first six trumpets had sounded in Revelation 8 and 9. Before the seventh Trumpet sounds, there is another interlude in chapters 10 and 11:15; and then more interlude in chapters 12-14 of Revelation. The interludes are breaks from the chronological sequence of the judgment events. Apostle John used the interludes to explain other things that happened or will happen during the seven-year Tri

Very Sad! "They Did Not Repent" Even As A Third of The Earth Were Killed

Dear Saints, Following the events of 9/11 where over three thousand people were killed by terrorists attack, many flocked to the churches and almost everyone wanted to be close to God. Some at that time thought the world was ending imminently. Rightly so. Many came to faith in Christ. Likewise, the COVID-19 ravages of the past year-plus are causing many to turn to God and surrender their lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Now, why would people even at the very of the age not repent and turn to Christ the savior having seen the calamities of nature and the stinging/torture of locusts like scorpions, and the killing of a third of people on the earth? Welcome to the three woes of the three remaining Trumpet judgments. We saw the first four Trumpet judgments in Revelation 8. Does anyone have a reason not to turn to God now and today? People send themselves to hell, not God. Let’s read Revelation 9: Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit 9  Then the fifth angel sounded: And

The 7th Seal And A Third Of The Earth ON Fire

  Dear Saints, The number seven is very significant in the Bible. “God stopped on the seventh day. In Hebrew, the number “seven” has the same consonants as the word for completeness or wholeness”.  Jesus is now opening the 7 th  seal of the Scroll which continues the beginning of the completion of His judgments of people on earth. We saw the opening of the first six seals in Revelation 6. We will see the sounding of the first four trumpets in this chapter 8. Please keep in mind that apostle John (the writer) is in a heavenly vision and seeing what will happen on earth in this portion of the book of Revelation - the Great Tribulation. In addition, the rapture is already taken place and we believers in Christ are in heaven. We will see a couple of sevens: seven angels, and seven trumpets. The sounding of the first four trumpets set fire on a third, partial destruction on the earth (land, sea, rivers) and heavenly bodies.  Unlike the last destruction of earth with a flood (Genesis 9:11),

The 144,000 And The Great Multitude

Dear “Ministers of Reconciliation” How many people will be in heaven? The Jehovah Witnesses (JWs) used to say 144,000 JWs until their number exceeded that. Now they say the 144,000 are a special select of the JWs and the rest of them will remain on earth. This is wrong. The JWs did not read the next verses that say, these are Jewish children of God from the 12 tribes of Israel, and they did not read the verses in chapters 7, 19 of Revelation that there were “great multitudes which no one could number from, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Jesus)”. I thank God, I will already be in heaven as part of the raptured church before the arrival of the 144,000 and the great multitude of Revelation 7. And you too if you have trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Yes, even some biblical scholars disagree on the 144,000. The best way to find out is for us to read the text. Let’s continue our study of the book of Revelation and read c
