The Book of Isaiah
Chapter 32

Professing Christians who study the Bible and therefore, are not fooled by Satan when he appears on earth at the 6th trump claiming to be Jesus, prior to our Lord's actual return at the 7th trump, will receive eternal life then, i.e. the 1st resurrection.

Those who are fooled and worship Satan, thinking he is Christ, can still receive "eternal life", but it can not happen until after they under go 1000 years of training during the Millennium, and then must pass a final test in order to earn "eternal life" at the "Great White Throne of Judgment".

Those who don't pass that test will have earned the opposite, i.e. to be consumed and be no more/perish. The same fate as Satan's! See Ezekiel 28:11-19, especially 17,18 &19.

God is a consuming Fire!

The prophetic events that our Father's Word foretells us shall transpire in this final generation are not only taking place right before our very eyes, but they are growing in intensity and occurring at an ever increasing rate, much like labor pangs (Mat. 24:8) just before a birth... and in this case just before the birth of a new age. And though it is written there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes (shakeups) in divers places (Matthew 24:7) as the beast of Rev. 13:1, i.e. the One World Political/Social/Economic/Religious system fueled by economic globalization, rises from the sea of people, there is joyous news that lies beyond the great tribulation.

That joyous news is called the "gospel of the king-dom" which is the "good news" that the King (Jesus Christ) and His dominion shall come and destroy Satan's New World Order and establish His righteousness, His truth and justice, in all the earth from henceforth even for ever. In fact, it is for that very reason Christ was born.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

[7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Rev. 12:5
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Revelation 19 gives us another good "picture" of His second advent.

Rev. 19:11-16
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.

[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Isaiah 32:1
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

Rev. 2:25-29
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. [26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. [28] And I will give him the morning star. [29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

endure, G5278  ???????? hupomeno?  hoop-om-en'-o
From G5259 and G3306; to stay under (behind), that is, remain; figuratively to undergo, that is, bear (trials), have fortitude, persevere: - abide, endure, (take) patient (-ly), suffer, tarry behind.

Rev. 3:21-22
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev. 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Ezekiel 44:23-24
And they [the Zadok, i.e. God's elect] shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. [24] And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

Isaiah 32:2 And a [or each] man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow [protection] of a great rock in a weary land.

wind = spiritual storm
tempest = flood as in an overflowing flood of lies
dry place = a (spiritual) desert
weary land = faint, thirsty, languid

Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

[3] And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

And not only will all eyes be opened to His truth, but as it is written in Isa. 14:15-16 and in Revelation 20:2, Satan shall be bound and cast into the pit during the thousand years we call the Millennium. Thus there shall be "no darkness" for his evil spirit and influence will not go forth during that time... until the thousand years are ended at which time he shall be released for a short season of testing to see if any shall still swallow his liberal garbage, i.e. eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. At that time, any who do eat from that burned out tree, i.e. who follow after Satan, shall surely DIE... only this death will not be a fleshly shadow (type) of death, which is given once unto all men (Heb. 9:27), but rather the REAL THING, the second death, the death and perishing of the soul in the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8)!

Rev. 20:2-3
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

[4] The heart also of the rash [hasty] shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Yes, there is going to be quite a contrast to the way things are in this final generation of the Fig Tree compared with the way things shall be when the righteous King reigns with His saints. This next verse gives us an example of the great turnabout, the setting of things aright that are now turned upside down!

[5] The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

vile, H5036 na?ba?l naw-bawl'
From H5034; stupid; wicked (especially impious): - fool (-ish, -ish man, -ish woman), vile person.

Likewise, churls, who are scoundrels and knaves, spiritual low-lifes who are "misers of His Word", shall no longer be looked upon as being smart or wise or rich or noble. They will be exposed as the miserly scoundrels (churls) of truth and justice they really are! You "see", there is going to be a famine in the Millennium all right... only instead of it being for the hearing of God's Word, it will be for the hearing of liberalism and socialistic ideas espoused by fools who are vile persons indeed.

Here are the characteristics of a fool, a "nabal", a hypocrite pretending to be something he or she is not... noble and magnanimous!

[6] For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Yes, there is famine and thirst in the land today, even as our Father's Word told us their would be. The good news is that it will end when Yashua Messiah returns at the sound of the 7th Trump.

Amos 8:11-13
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: [12] And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. [13] In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

[7] The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

However, such is not the mind-set of those who love and serve God. They are seekers of truth and righteousness and always seek ways to promote those things that are good and noble, especially the Word of God. For that, they shall also reap what they sow, and so enduring they shall stand in the end to receive the promises we read of earlier in Isaiah. How precious to Him are those who love and serve the Lord in truth and in righteousness.

[8] But the liberal [noble, righteous] deviseth liberal [noble, righteous] things; and by liberal [noble, righteous] things shall he stand.

Matthew 7:24-29
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Of course you can choose to be foolish and ignore what the Spirit has to say and not build your house upon the Rock. You can go to some church and listen to preachers and build your house on the vain (empty) traditions of what men say.

[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

[29] For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

We shall read more about the spiritual desolation even yet to take place... until the Spirit of truth is poured out upon us from on High! How precious indeed is our Father's Word.

We learned earlier how it is that our great land has become infested, or shall we say leavened, with the evil rudiments (immoral doctrines and socialist ideologies) of "vile persons", those foolish and unwise workers of iniquity we read about in vss. 5 & 6 of this 32nd chapter. Of course they are not identified by the main stream media as "vile persons" and certainly not as "scoffers walking after their own lusts (2 Peter 3:3)", but indeed they are today's "liberals"... meaning those on the left who oppose that which is noble and righteous while at the same time believing that they are.

We also learned that this one nation under God has been cursed with a multitude of religious "stammerers" who spew forth babel (confusion) and "churls" (misers) who are those who withhold the Word of Truth from our people. All this has combined to produce the great famine of the last days that Jesus Christ spoke about in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, that same spiritual famine Amos defined for us in Amos 8 vs. 11 as, "...not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD".

Of course we commonly know what happens when people go without food and water for an extended period of time. They become weak and sickly and pestilence and disease begin to abound... and death soon follows in their wake. The point is that while this is true on a physical level it is even more so on a spiritual level. When our people go without eating the Bread of Life and drinking the Living Water they become spiritually ill and morally diseased and our land becomes a "death valley", a valley of spiritually dead dry bones, the very valley looked upon by Ezek-i-el (God is my strength) in the 37th chapter of the book bearing his name. The "spiritually dead" Christians are to be brought back to life. #8037

The question then to consider is: Do you have eyes to "see" with enough spiritual discernment to be able to look out across the fruited plain and see past the peace and prosperity of this final generation to behold what a "valley of dry bones", spiritually dead people, we are fast becoming? It is time dear Christians to wise up and "rise up" and begin to listen to and adhere to what our heavenly Father has to say at this late hour, for the land is becoming spiritually desolate indeed. Unfortunately, there are many who claim to be Christian and claim to be followers of Christ, but because they know not the Word of God and therefore know not Christ (Mat. 7:23), they are going to find themselves on the outside looking in when the 7th Trump sounds and Jesus Christ returns (Mat. 7:21-23). Yes, in that day there shall be much mourning and weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mat. 8:12)! It is written and so shall it come to pass. We shall even read of it later in this study.

You "see", in order to follow Christ, one must be willing to cast aside church doctrines and traditions of men and open his or her ears to "hear now" His voice... which is His Word. And so it is in this 32nd chapter that our Father gives a "call to hear", a call to hear HIS VOICE, and a call to tremble, a call to humble and bare oneself before the Lord. In other words, we are to take heed not to what men say but rather to hear and revere what the Word of God says, because desolation is come upon the land and all those who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads (Rev. 9:4), who are not fully nourished with the Bread of Life and have not drunken from the fountain of Living Water (Jn. 14:4), shall surely faint and fall in the wilderness (spiritually desolate place) when the false messiah, that low-life serpent, the abominable desolator spoken of by Daniel the prophet, comes and casts his world wide web of deceit and spews forth all his abominations like an overflowing flood! Rev. 12:15 "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood."

Thus saith the LORD:

Isaiah 32:9
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

Hebrews 3:7-9
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice,

[8] Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

[9] When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Deut. 32:1-4
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

[2] My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

[3] Because I will publish [proclaim] the name [authority] of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

[4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Rev. 15:3
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Deut. 32:15
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

The point is that one can be financially wealthy and increased with material goods while at the same time be spiritually impoverished and destitute! Take those of the church of Laodicea in these last days for example, those whom Paul was greatly concerned about in Colossians 2.

Rev. 3:14-19
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

[16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

[17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;

The point is, that if you claim to "know the Lord" but are Biblically illiterate and do not study His Word to get to know Him, though you may go to church and do wonderfully good things, the fact is you are deceiving yourself indeed. And the irony of it all is that those who are deceived do not believe that they are deceived for that is the very nature of deception... i.e. not knowing that you are! Oh, you may find out later that you have been or had been deceived, but if you now are deceived you cannot possibly know it... else you wouldn't be! Have you ever heard someone say, "Hey, did you know that I am deceived?" Have you EVER heard a preacher or minister say "I am a false teacher?" Well, enough said! The remainder of verse 17 reveals the self delusion in that our people DO NOT KNOW of the wretched spiritual condition they are in! The good news is... IF they become willing to hear His Voice He will tell them what they can do about it in verse 18 below!

.... and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Here is the advice, the wise counsel, given directly from the Lord, from His mouth, to those "careless women", those self-confident-have-need-of-nothing Christians in our society today!

[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Nevertheless, whether you heed His wise counsel and turn to Him now or not, He still loves you very much and because He loves you, He will get your attention when you end up (spiritually) naked and ashamed at His coming! So you can either "take heed" and humble yourself now, willingly... or you may end up being humbled the hard way. That is not a threat. That's just the way it is!

[19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Let us now return to Isaiah 32 where we left off with the call to "hear" and "give ear" to the voice of  the LORD!

Isaiah 32:10
Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

For example: Instead of "taking heed" to that which is written, many of our beloved brothers and sisters are counting on being "raptured" out of here before the great tribulation starts, i.e. when Satan is cast out of heaven and comes to this earth and stands in the temple claiming to be God. They truly expect that they will be part of the harvest of the firstfruits... yet they have done no planting of righteousness and as Isa. 32:10 declares, "the vintage shall fail" and the "gathering (harvesting back to Christ) shall not come".

Here is what happens to those who have formally accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour, i.e. went forward during an invitation in a evangelical church meeting, and now believe they are saved and say they believe, but do not have any desire to study His Word and "truly know" Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God; therefore, they will worship Satan, believing he is God, as he will claim to be, and has come to rapture them out of here. After five months of this nonsense, when Jesus does actually return He has already told us in Matthew 7:21-23 what He will say to them:

Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Rev. 4:1-2
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. [2] And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Isaiah 32:11
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

Dear ones, it is high time to shuck the old cob and humble yourself before the Lord, for the hour is late and the "sorrows (odin, i.e. labor pangs)" of Matthew 24:8 and Mark 13:8 that bring about the birth of a new age are now going to increase with intensity and frequency. To wit, not so long ago we had the greatest earthquake on this planet in "40" years, a tremendous shaking that measured "9.0" on the Richter Scale, and as a result of that great contraction under "the sea", the "water broke" forth and the tsunamis (tsu = habor, nami = waves) roared. A word to the wise!

If we were to title this 32nd chapter of Isaiah it would be "Yahveh's Righteous King" for as it is written in the first verse, "Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment (Isa. 32:1)." That is in fact the good news of the kingdom of God, the good news that the King of kings and Lord of lords shall return with His saints to establish truth and justice in all the earth following the shortened reign of Satan and the spiritual desolation left in his wake.

Remember in the first part of this chapter we learned that many of our people are "careless", meaning they are self-confident of their spiritual condition, as in they think are in good standing with the Lord. The reality is however that most of them are sorely blinded (Rom. 11) as to the reality of their spiritual nakedness. Many "buy into" the fool's gold of liberalism that has pervaded (leavened) Christianity and thus are taken in by the unrighteousness of vile persons, even the "churls" and the "misers". Therefore our Father has given them a "call" to turn from their "careless" ways and humble themselves before Him and begin to listen to Him... to "hear His Voice". This He does because He loves all of His children and it is not His will "that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9." In other words, He wants His people to "wake up" and "wise up" and come out of Babylon (confusion) and turn from of their idolatrous ways in order that they might receive His promised blessings instead of being on the receiving end of the plagues He pours out upon that old harlot. Have you heard His voice from heaven? Here it is... listen carefully:

Rev. 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Note:They can still receive "eternal life" but it can not happen until after the Millennium at the "Great White Throne of Judgment".

The hour is late dear ones and as we read earlier, it is now time. To Day, to shuck the old cob and humble yourself before the Lord and begin to take some time to concern yourself with that which is most important, the true wealth and richness of His Word, and begin to buy that gold tried in fire... lest "the shame of your nakedness" appears at His coming (Rev. 3:18). "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches (Rev. 3:22)".

Let us now continue in Isaiah 32 where we next read of the lamenting of the "careless" women whose "vintage shall fail" and whose "gathering shall not come" (Isaiah 32:10).

Isaiah 32:12
They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

[13] Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

Matthew 13:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Isaiah 32:14
Because the palaces shall be forsaken [neglected]; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

Nevertheless, the good news is that the fruitful field shall not remain a wilderness, a desert place, forever... only until Jesus Christ returns to pour out His spirit of truth from on high! It is written and so shall it come to pass exactly as it is written. For that reason, you can already "count the fruitful field for a forest"!

[15] Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

You "see", it is written in the great book of Joel and quoted by Peter on Pentecost Day in the 2nd chapter of Acts, that in the last days, God would pour His spirit (of truth) out on His servants and on His handmaidens... and they would see (understand) visions, the visions of the prophets, and they would prophesy (teach) their brothers and sisters what those prophets saw concerning these last days.

Acts 2:17-18
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Isaiah 32:16
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

Deut. 32:3-4
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. [4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.

The prophet Amos, whose name in Hebrew means "burden", draws a comparison of the religious practice of just going to church and singing praises and performing rituals verses the worshipping of God in truth and in spirit whereby the "judgment" and "righteousness" of Isaiah 32:16 is produced. Here it is:

Amos 5:16-27
Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

[17] And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

[18] Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

[19] As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

[20] Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

[21] I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

[22] Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

[23] Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

[24] But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Isaiah 32:17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

[18] And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

Psalm 23:1-6
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Note: The next verse is considered by many scholars to be somewhat out of place and should follow verse 14. Though that may well be true and even most likely, I believe it serves well right here to emphasize the great contrast between the mighty wrath of God upon Babylon the Great and that great city, even Jerusalem, and the peace and serenity He will usher in. In other words, our Father has a great purpose in pouring out His wrath upon the ungodly, which is the same purpose He had in pouring out the plagues upon Egypt and reducing Sodom and Gomorrah to a pile of rubble and ashes with hail and fire and brimstone. It is so that they shall all come to KNOW that He alone, the great I AM that I AM, is God and there is none other!

Isaiah 32:19
When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

[20] Blessed are ye that sow beside all [living] waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

Note: Since death in the flesh is only a shadow of the real death of the soul; after this 1000 years of everyone who did not take part in the first resurrection to eternal life eating the winnowed grain, Satan is released for a short time to tempt them. Those and have now learned the difference between what is holy (clean) and what is profane (unclean) and pass this test will yet be saved from the eternal death of their soul and receive eternal life (the second resurrection) at the great white throne of judgment.

What a wonderful future we have to look forward to and how blessed we are indeed to have His Word that gives us hope and comfort and peace of mind during the raging turmoil and birth pangs that culminate the end of this flesh age!

Thank you Father!
