SECTION LII The Last Trump Does NOT Sound “RETREAT!”
The version of Christianity that I grew up with was enraptured with the idea of The Last Trump heralding the Rapture of the Saved to heaven to escape The Great Tribulation.
The problem with Dispensational Christianity is the lack of willingness to fight and suffer for what is right, the conviction that heaven begins with earthly prosperity and superiority, and the cowardly conviction that believers escape the earth at the first sign of trouble rather than remaining to rescue so much as their own loved ones. There is no historical precedent of this whatsoever in the entire Bible. God’s people don’t retreat. We face the enemy, fearlessly!
Well, actually, we fear, but are exhorted to buck up and overcome our fear.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children / followers to their fathers / godly religious leaders, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Malachi 4:5-6)

296) He Cometh With The Biggest Weapon Yet
- “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake….
- Immediately after the tribulation of those days…shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
- “then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
- and / when they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory / VICTORY! ” (Matthew 24:30)
What could trigger such an outcry of wailing from these people who were previously so impressed with Antichrist’s amazing light show breaking through the firmament?
SEEING ALL THEIR KILLS COME BACK TO LIFE AS IMMORTALS IN JUDGMENT!
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety [world-wide under Antichrist’s rule]; then sudden destruction cometh upon them…
- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven…with the trump of God
- AND the dead in Christ shall rise first…In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed…
- THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.” (I Thessalonians 5:3-10. 4:16-17, I Corinthians 15:52
“behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.” (Revelation 14:14-16)

297) The Vials Of Wrath – Revelation 19
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever…And the temple of God was opened in heaven…And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth…For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. (Revelation 11:15,19; 16:1, Isaiah 26:21)
The Greek word φιάλη (phiálē) is translated in the King James Bible as “vial”. We can recognize its transliteration from the pronunciation of the Greek word.
But this doesn’t mean that two thousands of years later our transliteration applies. Is it a larger object like bowl as translated in other Bible versions, or a small cylinder used to safeguard a strong medicine or poison? Since this Greek word is found only in this circumstance in Revelation, we can’t visualize it by seeing how it’s used in another setting in the gospels or letters.
We are forced to drill down into the word itself. Etymology. According to Beekes, the root word άλη is found in σκυτ-άλη (staff, stem, handle) and γύ-αλον (hollowed space). OK., that’s no help. Still a variety of applications.

298) Outer Darkness
“And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies…
- The sorrows / binding, noose of hell compassed me about;
- the snares / trap of death…
[But then!] The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice…For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.” (II Samuel 22)
Jesus, more readily recognized as the name of the LORD when translated as YHVH’s Savior, then details exactly what are these sorrows – hell-sent bindings and traps causing anguish and grief driving God’s people to call upon his name.
299) The Righteous Judgment Of God
“the righteous judgment of God…will render to every man according to his deeds…In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my [Paul’s] gospel…For there is no respect of persons with God.
-
-
- eternal life and immortality…glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good…To them who
- seek for glory – fighting on behalf of others
- and honour – respected and emulated by others
- by patient continuance in well doing – despite the cost, see II Corinthians 11:24-28 above)
- But…tribulation and anguish, indignation and wrath.. upon every soul of man that doeth evil, unto them that
- are contentious – fighting against others
- and do not obey the truth – of righteousness being to self-sacrificially love others who don’t deserve it
- but obey unrighteousness – harm and destroy God’s creation which he entrusted to humans, most of all, the people who come under our sphere of influence
- eternal life and immortality…glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good…To them who
-
- For as many as have sinned without law / God’s written word shall also perish without law: For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
- and as many as have sinned in the law / conscious of God’s written word shall be judged by the law; For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” (Romans 2)
This brings in so many non-Christians, AND leaves out sooooo many Christians, especially Protestants, evangelicals and fundamentalists who have prayed the Sinner’s Prayer and are captivated by “For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works…” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
That’s the problem with memorizing snippets of scripture in Sunday School. Complete strangers don’t give valuable gifts, they give worthless trinkets designed to lure the greedy into exploitation. The gift of God of salvation is through faith in God’s word, our acceptance of his offer to engage in relationship with him, not our decision to recite a ritual! Those who are saved are DOERS OF THE LAW. It says so right there in that passage!
Keep reading the next verse.
“For we are…created in Christ Jesus / YHVH’s Ordained Savior unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)
Actions speak louder than words, as anyone who has attended a court hearing can attest. The person being judged can protest his innocence all he wants, but his actions provide the evidence required to make a determination as to his destiny – imprisonment or freedom.

SECTION LIII: The Day Of The LORD
“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace…I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ…was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day / day of the Lord” (Revelation 1)
This is not a politically correct way of avoiding specifying Sunday vs Saturday for Jewish or Seventh Day Adventist worship.
The “Day” of the LORD – exactly as during Creation Week -is an era of eternity defined by the Works of Light / God following a “night” of works of darkness.
The day of the Lord is when YHVH / Creator and his sanctified ones – finally!- seize control back from the Adversary and his followers.
His war banner reads “Vengeance is mine! I will repay!”
“Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.” (Isaiah 13:6)
“the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” (Isaiah 13:9)
From Revelation 20:
“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
That was quick. Sounds like God has just run out of patience.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away / we’re in hyper drive now.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand / so resurrected before God; and the books chronicles of our behaviors during our lifetime were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea of outerspace gave up the hyperdimensional dead disconnected from the Singularity which were in it; and death the process and hell / Sheol underground delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15)
Clearly anyone finding themselves in this situation wants to find their name written in the book of life. How does that happen?

300) God’s Judgment Is Right
“Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.” (Psalm 119:160)
Mamre the Amorite, his brothers Eshcol and Aner were hybrid giants, memorialized by the Israelites when they re-entered the land of Abraham through the giant clusters of grapes they found. And yet they were confederate with Abram. This can only mean they shared his faith, his value, his lifestyle, i.e. his life.
This is consistent with the passage explaining the reason for Noah’s flood was not because there were hybrids, but because
- “FLESH / humanity had corrupted HIS way”.
- In addition to women being forced against their will,
- other humans had chosen to separate from God’s purity in genetics and behavior,
- and had filled the earth with violence.
- “Flesh” / humans had not just become victims,
- but had become the victimizers.

301) The Lake Of Fire Demanded By The Laws Of Physics
-
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.”
Scientifically speaking, “no place” means the universe as we know it no longer exists as mass.
“the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (II Peter 3:10)
-
Due to the laws of physics, their mass has converted into pure energy. This happens when any entity is separated from the infinite c2 force that maintains mass.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
- “And the sea [chaotic outer space abode of alien evil hyper dimensional beings] gave up the dead [disconnected from the Singularity Source of Life] which were in it;
- and death [the final format of the energy pattern comprising the soul]
- and hell [a force-field retaining boundary like the firmament preventing dead souls from affecting the living] delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.” (Revelation 20:11-13)
What that soul will experience for eternity depends on the choices made during this lifetime to reconnect to the source of life – or not.
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life.” (Revelation 22:14)
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 21:5-18, 20:14-15)
Using basic literature analysis, this lake of fire must be the pure energy remnant of the heavens and earth described at the beginning of this post – what had been created “in the beginning” that has been thoroughly corrupted.
So everything God created good that has become corrupted by disconnection from the Singularity c2 energy maintenance- by mankind by the way, to whom was given dominion – degenerates to pure energy.
The dangerous thing about the chemical reactions in fire is the fact that they are self-perpetuating.
Admittedly, the idea of burning for eternity is absolutely horrible. This is where most people choose to reject the Bible on the basis of “A good God wouldn’t send anyone to hell.”
Is it so hard to understand that the Singularity, i.e. E=mc2, can’t eliminate one aspect of being without eliminating the entire physics basis of reality.
Or that the Singularity couldn’t create the opportunity for some individuals to freely choose to identify with / love him/her, without necessarily generating the opportunity for other individuals to freely reject associating with him/her.

302) It’s A Wrap! The Ten Days Of Creation
- The Hindu religion, which preserves the most comprehensive and oldest accounts of the activities of the fallen angels / gods from this time period, confirms the biblical depiction of the seventh night as when time, as mortal humans understand and experience it, begins.
In Hinduism…Kala means both time and death. From a spiritual perspective time exists when we are in a state of duality when we are separated from God but disappears when we enter in the state of unity with God.
