The book of Daniel recorded that at the end there would be a great resurrection. But have you heard that entire nations will be resurrected? Scriptures tell that billions of people who lived and died will come back to life. Before that happens the earth and all that live on it, may face extinction unless something happens to prevent this.
In the prior blog on this subject, we finished with the great prophecies of Daniel. Josephus, the Jewish historian, commented about the prophecies of Daniel and how accurate they were even as to time. But even Josephus was unaware that he lived during a time prophesied in Daniel’s book and that prophecy was fulfilled years after Josephus died when hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed, men, women and children. Hundreds of cities were destroyed. And the Romans cast the people out of Israel and made it illegal for them to enter into Jerusalem. That event, under the leadership of a false messiah, Simon Bar-Kokhba, was the fulfillment of the prophecies of both Daniel and Enoch and that marked the end of that age.
We live now at the time of the end of the seventh age. Daniel was told that this time would be a time of great trouble such has never been in the world until now and never would be again. Daniel was told to seal up those prophecies as they would only be revealed during our time. He was also told that only the wise and knowledgeable would understand. But none of the wicked would understand. I cover this is more detail in my book, Prophecy Unsealed! which you can order from my website.
Now I would not be surprised that most of the people reading this do not consider themselves among the wicked. And that is a good thing. At the same time, though, they don’t understand the prophecies in Daniel’s book and in particular those in chapter 12. Well, let us not draw a logical, but ridiculous conclusion, that those who don’t understand must be among the wicked. That is not true. If you had the opportunity and resources to research those prophecies, you would probably understand them. But to do that you must also free your mind from preconceived notions, accepted traditions and speculations you may have picked up from both Christianity and Judaism.
The understanding of those prophecies requires that things long ago put on the shelves to gather dust and be ignored must be restored. Without restoring knowledge that was known before the House of Israel was taken captive by the Assyrians and the House of Judah by Babylonia, there is no way that you can understand those prophecies. They require the restoration of key knowledge that is not new, just lost and hidden.
When I started to write my book, I had envisioned just a simple book of 32 pages. But as I wrote I realized that the key to understanding demanded that I also write about what was known before, which was critical to decipher the meaning of the prophecies of Daniel 12.
A Great Resurrection With Two Results
The Christian doctrines about the “afterlife” assume that we have an immortal soul and that soul goes to heaven when we die. Then when Jesus returns the soul somehow comes out of heaven to be joined with its former body, which apparently is all fixed up. But they also claim that if you don’t accept Christ (which to them is synonymous with believing in the stories about Jesus,) during this lifetime, you will be forever cut off from God and will spend eternity in Hell, like the one Dante described. They say you only have one chance, and if you don’t do what they say you should do, you are “forever lost.”
I used to watch the wannabe evangelists in school carry a massive, self-imposed “burden” for all the lost souls in the world. They believed that if they didn’t get the message “about Jesus” (their words) to these people that was it. Gone, to burn forever. Few talked about the message that Jesus preached and taught. They were mostly “Pauline” and could care less about what Moses, the Prophets and the Apostles (not Paul) actually believed, taught and lived by. And they certainly didn’t know about our father Enoch. His books were not “Canonized.” So they must be “bad.”
I say that to get to this point. The first resurrection includes millions who never heard “about” Jesus, and Christians, who claim they know but do not, and Jews, who really can’t accept the Christian ideas (Can you blame them?), and others who don’t understand much of anything religious or spiritual, those whose lives were spent in turmoil and suffering as they tried to live out their days, drug addicts, criminals, and many, whom most expect, are now in hell where they “deserve to be.”
The first resurrection will also include those who understood the Message and changed their lives, who walked away from the world’s ways and understood what the Apostles taught in the DIDACHE, who cried out to ELAH and EYAHUWAH for mercy and strength, who believed the Prophets and desired the teaching of Moses, who mourned for what they saw happening in the world and longed for a time when it would be different.
Enoch wrote about the resurrection of the “righteous and elect.” Daniel wrote what he heard from Gabriel. Ezekiel wrote what he saw in visions and they tell the same thing: the first resurrection includes both the righteous and those not so righteous. Some are raised to glory and power and others are brought back to life, only now in new bodies and looking much like they did before with one small difference: the righteous have bodies like Jesus (EYAHUSHUAH) had when he rose from the dead. The others have new bodies, really new, not sick or weak, no drugs in their blood, no damaged DNA, no mental handicaps, just a brand new body. They didn’t get back all the dust, dirt, and decayed remains of the old bodies. They got what every person who ever lived really wanted, a new, vibrant body, with no flaws or handicaps!
Another thing they will have and maybe they would wish that they didn’t have it, is the memory of everything that happened before they died, not the actual death, but how they lived their lives before. In addition to that they will be given the wisdom to understand what they should have done before. This is the judgment time and the people themselves have the recall and the understanding about what they did and what they should have done. Hence, they are raised to “shame and age-lasting contempt,” knowledge that they will carry for the next thousand years.
It is for this event that the Message will be preached in all the world “as a witness.” It is an “I told you so” of universal scope! It is a message not to condemn but to warn and to inform.
Who are these people?
Ezekiel’s vision in chapter 37 makes it very clear. Ezekiel was a prisoner in Babylon and while there he wrote his prophecy, which could only be also for the time after including our time. In his vision of the valley of dry bones, Ezekiel was told to prophesy over the bones:
Prophesy to these bones and say to them, “Dry bones hear the word of Eyahuwah. This is what the King Eyahuwah says to these bones: I will make breath enter into you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am Eyahuwah.” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them, and they came to life and stood upon their feet: a vast army!
Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say our bones are dried up and our hope is gone. We are cut off.”
Therefore prophesy and say to them: “This is what the King Eyahuwah says, O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them. I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am Eyahuwah, when I open up your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land! Then you will know that I, Eyahuwah, have spoken, and I have done it! declares Eyahuwah.”
This is why I spent time writing about Israel in part 1. This is not Judah only but all those of the twelve tribes from the time of their father Jacob to the end of this age!
The prophesied trouble that comes at the end of this age will be focused on the descendents of Jacob, “It is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he will be saved out of it.” The Nations of Israel, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the British Isles, and the countries of Europe, and the tiny land of Israel, will suffer greatly during this time. Many will be killed by disease, and war. But they will be saved out of it by the great resurrection and the coming of Eyahuwah to the earth. These are the “elect” or “chosen” to whom promises were made because of the covenants Eyahuwah made with them, and with our Fathers. He wiped away their debt, which they accrued because of their unfaithfulness, and paid, by sacrificing His body, what they owed. Now Eyahuwah has the right to call them “My people!”
Who are the righteous?
The righteous are those who overcame and were faithful during the time they lived in the flesh. These have not been deceived by the religions of this world, or have seen the great error of apostasy and turned from it. These are those who will be “born-again” by the resurrection and given glorified bodies and will never die again. They are the Sons of Elam and now part of the Elahim. They will appear before the Father in Heaven at the end of the 1335 days as the Wave Loaves offering portrays, and will receive glory, honor, and power. What is their secret? They lived “the Eternal Life” while they were in their flesh, and they did not love their bodies even to the point of death. Many of these will be protected during the time of trouble. Some will die to keep them out of it.
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” Revelation 14: 13-14
Our father Enoch saw the great difference this resurrection was going to mean to all the world. He said, “There I want to be.”
Although the time of trouble may appear to the wicked, the sons of darkness, as a time of victory and great rejoicing, they will be destroyed by the coming of Eyahuwah to the earth and by the transformation of the earth as it is restored to the former glory it had at the time Man was first made from its dust.
But there is more. What finally happens to those who were neither the righteous or the elect? And what will happen on earth during the next age? That I will cover in the next post.
Mary, Hope you enjoyed your day. I spent my entire day and weekend writing these things. I will no doubt continue to do the same thing tomorrow and the next day … So, do you always contradict yourself? You say that all things are possible through Jesus. Then you ask: “Should’nt[sic] you be giving away for free, all of this information to as many people as possible? Shouldn’t you be trusting in the Lord to take care of all of your material needs & your personal needs as well, so then you wont[sic] have to sell God’s truth to people who are literally & spiritually dying if they do not recieve[sic] the truth?” Then you state: “My understanding of how Jesus works is that He will never leave nor forsake those who truly, sincerely believe in Him & who put all of thier[sic] faith & trust in Him, thereby if they truly seek out the truth, then they will surely find it, & most likely, it will be for free.” Then finally you get to the crux of this entire matter and contradict everything you just claimed by asserting that it doesn’t apply to you! “I can’t afford to buy any of your books, even though I would really love to read them, especially the revised one regarding the first book of Enoch.” Hmm. Reminds me of what James wrote: “Show me your faith apart from works, and I will show you my faith by what I do.” You have spent the day reading all of this material which I have spent hours writing. I also pay the bills so that you can do that freely and without any charge. I also invested time researching and studying for many years, probably more years than you have lived. I spent money buying books and reference materials and education that amounted to several 10,000s of dollars. And you claim I have no faith? If you need my books and other materials, do you not believe your own words that what you need will be provided to you? You are now indebted to me for reading these articles. There are more than 600 pages of material in these posts if they were printed in book form. How much is that worth? Have I kept these from the “people who are literally and spiritually dying?” Hardly. What lies have you discovered in these pages? I would like to know. I suspect that what you perceive or “discern” as lies are really interpreted by your own context which you received from the multitude of deceivers who were prophesied by Jesus long ago that they would “come in his name and deceive the masses.” Case in point: Who told you that “Jesus” changed Saul’s name to Paul, and who told you that “Jesus” told Paul to “preach the Gospel of truth to the gentiles?” If you read those passages, you might see that Paul was the one who claimed these things to be true about himself, and slyly added that these could not be confirmed by the “witnesses” because they either did not hear the words or see the “vision.” And even when he told that he told three different versions of one story and in the last one he even embellished it by having “Jesus” quote from the Greek writers and philosophers! Here is the truth: If you cannot find the true Gospel without Paul’s writings, then you will most certainly not find the truth within his writings. “To the Torah[law] and to the Prophets[the witness and testimony], if they don’t speak according to this word, there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20 Then you claim that I only reject Paul’s writings to avoid the teachings of the “rapture.” But in reality, those who adhere to that bit of twisted logic, forever avoid the truth of Scriptures from Enoch through Revelation, even including to some degree the confused and difficult logic of Paul. There will certainly be a resurrection, but only the two witnesses will be resurrected prior to the great tribulation. Then the righteous and elect will be raised on or after the Day of Yahua that will cut this age, and the final three and one half years, short and bring an end to the battle for Jerusalem. But not as Paul said, but rather according to the witness that Jesus, the Apostles, and the Prophets, including Enoch gave. Paul never quoted either Jesus or the Apostles, and they never quoted him. So whose side are you on? And what you “learned” about Peter and James you learned from whom? Certainly not from either Peter or James, as both wrote very powerfully when one understands and “discerns” exactly what they are saying. As far as your “new moon” idea is concerned, keep reading the posts. That was explained many times in different articles and comments. Also read the latest post where that is again explained.
Okay, I have just spent most of my day reading & re-reading throughout most of your blogs here & have only this to say, All things are possible through Jesus Christ Our Lord & Savior, & if you believe in this without a doubt & if you truly sincerely & intentionally seek out the truth’s of Jesus Christ, then these truth’s will be revealed to you. So riddle me this batman; if impending doom & judgement is imminently upon fallen mankind & God has blessed you with the understanding of these matters, then why are you selling this information in book form & in ebook form to the public? Should’nt you be giving away for free, all of this information to as many people as possible? Shouldn’t you be trusting in the Lord to take care of all of your material needs & your personal needs as well, so then you wont have to sell God’s truth to people who are literally & spiritually dying if they do not recieve the truth? My understanding of how Jesus works is that He will never leave nor forsake those who truly, sincerely believe in Him & who put all of thier faith & trust in Him, thereby if they truly seek out the truth, then they will surely find it, & most likely, it will be for free. I can’t afford to buy any of your books, even though I would really love to read them, especially the revised one regarding the first book of Enoch, but I do enjoy reading over your blogs, & with the Holy Spirit given gift of discernment, I can seperate the truth from the lies & get a good idea of what it is that you are trying to do, & whom it is that you are trying to reach. One thing that puzzles me though, is that Jesus appeared to Saul & changed his name to Paul & told him to preach the Gospel of truth, not only to the Gentiles, but also to the Jews, especially the Jewish disciples Peter & James, who were corrupting the truth with thier own watered down version of the truth, to appease thier Jewish countrymen. But you however, do not consider the truth’s of the words of Paul, is that only so you do not have to deal with those who base thier faith in Jesus on those words & who use those scriptures to explain the mysteries of the Rapture?–Taylor & Mary Oh by the way, if we are not supposed to follow the new moon in regards to the feast of trumpets, then how do we begin our celebration of this feasts, with the sunrise? What day in 2008 should my family celebrate the feast of trumpets on, & at what time?
Let me hasten to add that “the Second Death” actually is not the death of PEOPLE, but the system (the Beast), the Dragon (the serpent, the devil, Satan, the “God of this World” who is SELF, carnal self). Those who believe that the goats are sinners and the sheep are believers, are mistaken. The entire PURPOSE of the Lake of Fire is two-fold: One, HE IS A REFINING FIRE; Two, DEATH and HELL (the grave) will be swallowed up. That is the victory, and the Lake of Fire is the mouth swallowing victoriously. I add all this for any other readers!
The more I learn, the less I know… When I say “dissolved” into the nations, by that I mean perhaps more accurately, that over the centuries blood lines have assimilated the dispersed. My own ethnic background (Hispanic) has multiple lines that go back historically to the dispersed Hebrew tribes. I know that God knows His own. As to the “elect”, it seems to me that anyone who “seats themselves” in a seat of honor will, in the end, be moved, and someone from a more humble place will be elevated. There are two resurrections: the first resurrection (Rev. 20:6)is clearly spoken of, mentioning they will be “kings and priests”. The second (general) resurrection I find is mentioned almost abstractly, (for if there is a specific mention, I forget it right now). Yet my understanding is that there is ONE resurrection of all, both believers and non-believers. The “Kings and Priests” will “teach righteousness” to the world. I can’t say that I understand that EVERYONE will have a glorified body that never dies, which conclusion I come to is that those who are NOT “kings and priests” will live much longer lives but will be governed in some respect by those “kings and priests”. THEN will come “the Second Death”, but to me, since the flesh profits nothing, and understanding the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation regarding “blindness”, the second death refers to the death of “the carnal, earthy Adam”. (I refer to Adam, created male and female; whose “eyes were opened” to the carnal world, and thus his progeny were born blind, and Jesus (Eyahushuah) healing “the man blind from birth” and stating “For judgment am I come into the world, so that those who are blind may see, and those who see may be made blind”. And answering the Pharisees who said “Are we blind?” He said “Because you say, ‘We see’, thus your sin remains”. The natural blind man was a metaphor for the spiritually blind, and the spiritually blind a metaphor for the carnally blind. Further, as you and I seem to agree, the “taking away” refers not to those removed so that they not experience tribulation, but are parabolically being “cut asunder”; that is, separating the self from its throne in man with violence. Whether this violence is natural or spiritual does not affect the outcome. The “two men in the field” are still actually metaphorically one man, that is, the dual natured man who is completely blind to God (enmity) and what is taken (cut asunder) is that blindness (so to speak; cutting away actually implies a “sword” — his Word — and “the bones and marrow, soul and body” — natural man — being separated one from the other. So too does the parable of the tares speak of the same, though most people carnally thinking, believe one wheat stalk = one man, one tare stalk = one man, yet actually, the “field” is the world, and the seed (both seeds, wheat and tares) are the seed of the woman spoken of in Genesis 3 (the enmity between serpent’s seed and woman’s seed). This is not off-topic, however, to your post, I hope you see. (Actually, I hope I’M the one not misunderstanding your post, for I understand in part you are speaking of the Sons of God ruling and reigning, and in order for THAT to happen, there HAS to be someone or something to rule and reign over! However, I also believe that it is through these Sons of God who are manifested that those who are not achieving the resurrection upon whom the second death has no power, that it is through those Sons that the other “sons” learn how to rule and reign with righteousness over THEMSELVES. Am I off-topic here?) Again, marvelous insight on your part.
Jesus (Eyahushuah) said,
In other words teachers, preachers, and religious leaders will come telling about Him and claiming to speak on His behalf and they will succeed in deceiving billions of people worldwide! This is why I say there is no defense for the actions, teachings, and rituals of the churches. Even though their intentions may have been good, it would have been better for them to not speak until they knew what they are talking about. The objective behind the chosen people from among all the living was not because those chosen were better, but because of the promises made to the fathers. It was the relationship they had with Elahim and Eyahuwah that made all the difference. Concerning the people of the 12 tribes it was said,
But even though the Israelites were dispersed, they were not dissolved into the nations. Even though they lost their identity, they were not lost to Eyahuwah Elahim. Concerning our importance in the eyes of Elah and Eyahuwah, that is what we are all about, regardless of whatever nation we may belong to. At this time we are all descendants of Enoch and Noah, righteous men. The objective is yet in the future for billions of people. This is an important time, but it will become less significant as more of what has been lost becomes restored and after the people are brought back from the graves. Christian quote “For God so loved the world” and neglect to quote the very next verse:
The problem with the people has never been the Law, or who was chosen and who was not, but rather it has been lack of knowledge and an unwillingness to recognize the truth. The time comes when all who are in the graves will hear His voice. Then they will understand and be saved. For He promised, “I will put My spirit in them and write My Law on their hearts.” and “They will all know Me.”
Why will He do this? So that they also can have compassion on the rest of the world, when their time comes.
And today, it is the House of Judah who has taken the name Israel as their own! I’ve wondered if we (2000 years later) have been misinformed, or mis-taught about other things. By this I mean, I’ve often wondered if all the writers of the sacred texts (Genesis to Revelation) were actually concerned PRIMARILY with only the 12 tribes; I’ve often wondered, in other words, that because we are looking backward and have been fairly “indoctrinated” into the Christian views by a corrupt church system, that we are assuming too much importance of ourselves in God’s eyes or purposes.(?) To be specific, has it really been directed to the people God revealed Himself to, including all the promises and covenants, rather than to the world as a whole? Despite the dispersia, which in effect has dissolved the 10 tribes into the world, is the promise of the word for their sake, and the rest of the world “profits” or shares because of this dispersion? What think you?
As noted, the righteous are those who overcome the world and its religions and ways and have the righteousness of our fathers. The “elect” are the people descended from Jacob and his 12 sons. They were chosen before the earth and the universe was created. The elect are destined to be Kings and Priests and to be a blessing to all the people of the earth, as promised to Abraham,
This is the literal, flesh and blood descendants. The “House of Israel” (being distinct from the “House of Judah”) are the descendants of the 10 tribes of the northern kingdom. They were taken captive by the Assyrians and after that migrated to become great nations. Eyahuwah told Abraham,
Only the righteous are the seed of faith and are not called the House of Israel, nor are they “spiritual Israel.” They may include descendants of Isaac. But they are the “innumerable multitude from every nation” as noted in the book of Revelation. The righteous came out of “great tribulation” that tested them from the time of Adam to the end of our age. This idea of a “spiritual Israel” came from Paul the Pharisee was not shared by the Apostles and is not supported in the Law or the Prophets. It was meant as a slap in the face to the Apostles, whose task was to take the message of hope to all the descendants of Isaac and Jacob. Interestingly, the people of the House of Israel later become known as “Gentiles” to the people of the House of Judah.
Good post! The teaching that multiple billions of people who have died during the time of Man on this earth one can’t dispute. “Believers” — those who have been “born again” by faith in his name — will be clothed with “his righteousness” which replaces ours. This “righteousness” is no different, in my understanding, than the Spirit with which we will be clothed. “Being found not naked” refers to the First Adam who, upon eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, discovered that he and “the mother of all living”, Eve, were naked. Thus we all are spiritually unclothed (unrighteous) until clothed with his righteousness (His Spirit). Even the born-again (by faith) believers are still unclothed. This is why we know that everyone will be resurrected to the judgment. Many of us are unfamiliar with the Book of Enoch; I’ve read it and find it difficult sometimes because of the translations, which many times makes for incredible reading (ie; it’s hard to understand the metaphors); do you suppose you could refer to the text more specifically? And perhaps help us to understand the meanings? Maybe posting a .PDF or a link would help. Is “the House of Israel” as mentioned, the literal “chosen ones” that were chosen to keep the message and bring it to the world (literally, the children of Seth, Enoch, Abraham, Isaac, etc)? Or are the “spiritual” children, the “seed of faith”, now considered to be the House of Israel? Thanks again! El Besino
