They Came From Beneath: Part II
This story of the final act of Satan and his rebel band of countrymen set sometime in the future is not the end of the story. Nor is it the end of man, nor is it the end of Satan. It is however, the restitution of the Divine Order of things. After Christ returns and establishes his imperial throne at Jerusalem, a certain peace will return to the earth not seen since the Fall of Man nearly 6000 years ago per Genesis. Christ himself will have established the nation of Israel, not based on the imaginary 1967 borders that man wishes to impose on her but instead the borders will encompass present day Turkey stretching southward all the way to the end of the Arabian Peninsula. From the West, it will stretch from the river Nile in Egypt all the way to the river Eurphrates that now divides present day Iraq. This new nation of Israel will sit on the strategic axel of the Eurasian-African continent. All this accomplished not by the energies of man, but by the will and hand of God.
The events lightly touched upon from Revelation Chapter 9 is a broad strategic overview and will only occur during a time-period specifically set in a 7 year increment. This time-period is currently in a static mode, displaced by the current time-period we are in called the Church Age. However, once this age ends, which is the next prophetic event on the escatological calendar, then this 7 year increment will begin. It starts very subtlely but the troubles grow more and more intense as time counts down to the end of the 7 year increment. As man attempts to take advantage in light of certain catastrophes that strike the world, human wars ensue with famines and economic collapse not far behind that affects the entire earth. Then at the end of the 7 year increment we see the last "hoorah" from Satan and his demonic armies.
Jerusalem is the focal point in Revelation even though the entire earth is engulfed with war, both human and angelic, visible and invisible. The reason for the prominence of Jerusalem is due to the fact that this is the seat of the imperial throne of our Lord, Jesus Christ. His two royal families, Israel and the Church, are reconsitituted both on a national and racial framework for Israel and on a international and spiritual framework for the Church. This will not be a "One World Government" as it may appear from this writing, but there will be other nations in existence when Christ rules the Earth from Israel. Nevertheless, the nations of the earth will genuflect before the throne of Christ seated at Jerusalem.
The rule of Christ will be absolute and complete. There will be no opposition. Human armies are destroyed as they gathered around Jerusalem and the fallen angelic/earthly armies are destroyed throughout the earth. Whats left of mankind after this titanic struggle is sifted like chaff in the wind and only they which aligned themselves with the victor will be allowed to live and continue on into the next century and beyond. Just as only 8 souls lived after the flood, so only the righteous will be allowed to live after the restitution. This was brought out in Matthew 24 in regards to Christ's Second Advent as previously described above:
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
In other words, a complete and total realignment on a global scale politically, militarily and culturally occurs at the return of Christ. This is the reason for man's attempt at Satan's behest that they try to stop this enthronement from occuring. The primary human military forces involved in this last endeaver will be Western and Asiatic armies. There are many objectives both tactical and strategic, utilizing both human and angelic forces that Satan will attempt to wheel at his command. They will fail. The return of Christ is D-Day which Christ himself, Elect Angelic and Elect Human armies will close-with, envelope and by fire and maneuver, destroy the enemy.
One other note, I mentioned that the first demonic army is unleashed by Satan to basically corral mankind into killing fields for his second army. The fallen angelic general in charge of this first demon army is known by his name: Apollyon. Also known by his title Angel of the Abyss he apparently confronts two of God's human heralds who are spreading the message of Christ's imminent return in Israel to Jews specifically and the Angel kills these heralds much to the joy of fallen man. Their bodies are left to rot in the open but after 3 days, they are resurrected by God and in their physical bodies ascend to heaven very rapidly before the full view of the world.
If it makes you feel any better, these events have not transpired, yet. We don't know how far into the future before this occurs. It could begin tomorrow or it may be another thousand years. We just don't know. This Church Age is the age of historical trends. But I must say, the trends are developing into view. Yes, many have said he is the anti-christ or this is the "end" but people who lack understanding as to these trends are the ones who typically make this mistake.
Is this too much to take in at once? I shall now return to my regularly scheduled programming. Thank you.
