Pamphlet 6084 Isaiah KC 21-2 xxx

What happens to those who do not make or have the opportunity to make the first resurrection?

So let's return to the 14th chapter of Isaiah and learn more of what shall befall that dragon,
that low-life serpent who wants to be worshipped like God,
who has "said in his (thine) heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north (Isaiah 14:13)."

And along with "seeing" what shall befall that wicked one who is brought down to the "sides of the pit",
we shall also "see" what "purpose our Father has purposed (Isa. 14:26)"
in His wondrous plan for the Millennium to bring about the salvation of His people
who did not make or have the opportunity to make the first resurrection
(which is the first raising to the status of eternal life at the coming of the Lord).

All those who were not Christ's at His coming, who fell before and worshipped Satan, the false-christ,
will remain spiritually dead throughout the Millennium,
hence they are called "the dead" in Rev. 20:5 & 12, until that time of testing at the end is fulfilled,
i.e. until that little season when Satan is released from the pit for his last hurrah has ended.

If at that time they choose to love God and believe in Jesus Christ by remaining faithful to His Word,
then they shall take part in the second raising (resurrection) to eternal life.

If not... they shall die the second death, the death of the soul,
which means they will perish and cease to exist!

Now here is a second witness to what happens to the old serpent at Jesus Christ's return
when as we just read in Rev. 20:1-3, that wicked one is bound
and his dragon lips are shut up for a thousand years as he resides in the bottomless pit... for all to see!

Isaiah 14:15
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Let this be a lesson to all those who seek who exalt themselves above their brethren.

You "see", if one wants to be truly "great" in the sight of the Lord,
then let him be a servant of the Lord by serving his brothers and sisters in Christ.

Matthew 23:10-12 "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. [11] But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."

At the end of this flesh age, before the generation of the Baby Boomers has passed away,
it is written that Satan will have exalted himself to "sit in the temple of God" and claim to be God.

Furthermore, that wicked sugar-daddy whom the world will simply adore,
will back up his claim with great signs and wonders,
by performing miracles in the sight of men such as calling lighting (pur) down from heaven.

So do not be deceived for as Paul documents for us in 2 Thes. 2:1-12,
that this all happens BEFORE Jesus Christ returns and we gather back to Him.

2 Thes. 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

[4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Again, Satan who appears as the true Messiah (though he be the false messiah)
will perform great wonders and miracles in the sight of men
to deceive them into believing he is who he claims to be... God Himself!
Rev. 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men [14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast...".
How successful will the false messiah be in deceiving people?

Rev. 12:9 documents that he deceives the whole world,
except for those servants of the Most High who have the Word of God sealed their minds (Rev. 9:4)...
and few there be of those in this final generation.

And so it is documented that that wicked one, that old tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
that same old lowly "box-cedar" (te'ashur) of Ezekiel 31 called the Assyrian,
who comes and elevates himself high above the waters (peoples) of the world,
is going to be hewn down, as is abased lower than low...
in the sight of the whole world for a thousand years!

Here is what people will be saying concerning this one who is brought down to the sides of the pit:

Isaiah 14:16
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
There is going to be considerable "considering" by the (spiritually) dead during the Millennium!

The people are all going to see this one who has been abased for what he is and what he has done.

And as they "look down upon him" they will marvel
that this one man could be responsible for the destruction of not just one, but TWO earth ages.

They will come to know that this low-life snake is the father of lies (John 8:44)
who spawned the hypocritical deceitfulness of liberalism,
which is the disease of straying from the right-eousness of God's Word
that produces good fruit and peace and harmony and leads to eternal life,
to Satan's do-it-my-way of thinking that produces bad fruit and war and confusion and desolation and leads to death!

Do not think that I am talking politics when using the term "liberalism"
for this straying from truth and righteousness is the incremental watering down
that has infested all areas of our society including education, economics, politics, and religion.

You "see", our Father through His Word gives us instruction in law
and national "policies" and in economics and in religion!

Have you not seen how the self-exalted are trying to take away the commandments of God
from our midst and replace them with abominable filth which is now protected by political correctness?

The fact of the matter is that the violation of that which is "politically correct"
will bring forth the sting of scorpion which may destroy one's career
or cause him or her to be fined or jailed,
but violation of God's commandments will bring forth the wrath of Almighty God
who can destroy your very soul in the lake of fire.

So the question is, "Who do you fear, man or your Heavenly Father?"

That is precisely why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:28
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear [revere] Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
