Anderson has\r\nstudied the end time events since 1980. He was a missionary in China for seven\r\nyears, where he wrote most of this book in 1993. He has written on this topic\r\nin a totally different light than any other author. No one has expounded on: <span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>1Thessalonians 5:3 ~ The Second Coming: While people are\r\nsaying <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\u201cPeace and\r\nsafety<\/span><\/i><\/b>, ~ destruction\r\nwill come on them suddenly<\/b>.\u201d<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nHe has addressed the issue of\r\nwho<\/i><\/b> is capable of providing worldwide safety so that people will\r\nsay \u201cPeace and safety\u201d<\/span><\/i>. And further\r\nexplains what<\/i><\/b> the sudden destruction<\/span><\/i>\r\nwill be. Rather than the vague generalities, Mr. Anderson has given a detailed\r\ntime frame and sequence of events for the last 1335 days of earth\u2019s history\r\nbefore the Second Coming as stated in Daniel\r\nchapter 12: 12 ~ The End Times.<\/span><\/i> Another refreshing authoritative\r\ndifference is, after the introduction, this book uses over fifty percent of the\r\ncontents directly quoting the Bible to provide strong Biblical evidence<span\r\nstyle='color:red'> that no Theologian has been able to prove wrong<\/b><\/span>\r\nsince 2003 when this book was first published. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe events described are sound\r\ndoctrine<\/b>, realistic, logical and consistent with God\u2019s character. It is\r\neasily understood by non-Christians but is deep enough to challenge\r\nTheologians. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nTo Myste Lyn Anderson, my\r\ndaughter, who spent days correcting the grammatical errors in this book. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nAlso, to George Kurian, a\r\ntheologian teacher from a renowned Bible college, who also spent many hours\r\nfine tuning it.

That day, the Second Coming,\r\nwill not take us, God\u2019s children, by surprise because we are children of the\r\nlight and God is light. God\u2019s light is God\u2019s truth. He has told us beforehand\r\nof all the events which will take place during the end time. We must study to\r\nfind the truth. This overview will be backed up with Biblical proof later in\r\nthis book.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nTo understand the end time\r\nevents, the end of sin events, it is imperative<\/b> that we understand the beginning\r\nof sin<\/b> events. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nSin started in heaven<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> with Lucifer<\/b>, later known as Satan, becoming\r\nproud, which is the beginning of sin, and wanting to become a god. This\r\nresulted in the first trial, the trial of God,<\/b> with Lucifer being the\r\naccuser, the plaintiff; God Christ (God Michael, which the angels called him at\r\nthat time, see appendix G), being the defendant and God the Father will be the\r\nJudge. This first sin, first conflict resulted in a war in heaven, which was a\r\nwar of words like two lawyers arguing their case. The earth is the crime scene\r\nwhere the evidence is written in the judgment books of heaven according to what\r\neach person has done during their life. The jury consists of every intelligent\r\ncreation of God. However; there are three different times of judgment. The\r\nBible states that every knee will bow but they will bow at different times thus\r\n3 jury\u2019s judgments.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe first judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe pre-advent judgment, (before the Second Coming) the first jury, consists of\r\nthe \u201cNever Sinned\u201d, (the un-fallen angels and intelligent being from other\r\nplanets) started in 1844 with the family of God; the \u201cDead in Christ\u201d, of which\r\nAbel was the first of all the \u201cDead in Christ\u201d. The last people to be judged\r\nduring this first judgment will be the \u201cLiving in Christ\u201d and their judgment will\r\nend at the seventh trumpet, which is the close of earth\u2019s probation, just prior\r\nto the Second Coming. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe second judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe millennial judgment, the second jury, consists of the \u201cSaved\u201d, will start\r\nand end their judging during their 1000 years in heaven. This will be after\r\nthe Second Coming and before the Third Coming of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe third judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe final or executive judgment, the third jury, consists of the \u201cLost\u201d, will\r\ndo their judging after the second resurrection, after the Third Coming, 1000\r\nyears after the Second Coming.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThen God, the Father, will pronounce\r\nthe verdict on the Lost, which is death, eternal separation from God. This\r\nwill conclude God\u2019s trial and there will never ever be anymore sin. Then He\r\nwill recreate earth and live here. There will be no more death or tears, and\r\neveryone will live happily ever after.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNow that we know the\r\nbeginning and the end we can now look at the last period of 1335 days of\r\nearth\u2019s history before the Second Coming of Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJust before a jury is sent\r\nout to deliberate the verdict, the lawyers of the plaintiff and defendant make\r\ntheir closing arguments. This trial is no different. These closing\r\npresentations will be 1260 days during the last 1335 days just before the\r\nSecond Coming, which is the last probation period for the human race.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Bible states that when\r\npeople are saying \u201cpeace and safety<\/span>\u201d<\/i>\r\nsudden destruction will come upon them. The sudden destruction will be the\r\nfirst four trumpets of Revelation, which are ecological disasters. The first\r\ntrumpet will start the end time count down, the 1335 days, as stated in Chapter\r\n12 of the book of Daniel, until the Second Coming. These plagues will cause worldwide\r\npanic and will result in the election of a Spiritual Leader of the World after\r\n45 days. From then till the Second Coming there will be 1290 days. The next\r\n1260 days after the Spiritual Leader of the World is put into power will be a\r\ntime of separating the sheep from the goats; followers of Christ or the\r\nAnti-Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe whole world will follow\r\nthe Spiritual Leader of the World and his man-made laws except those who will\r\nfollow the Bible and Bible only. After approximately 2 years another plague,\r\nthe fifth trumpet, will cause more panic. At this time Satan will impersonate\r\nChrist and confirm the Spiritual Leader of the World\u2019s new man-made laws and\r\nblame the plagues on the ones who are following the Bible. He will insist that\r\nthey be put to death if they do not obey. This decree is the sixth trumpet. At\r\nthe end of the 1260 days will be the close of probation, the seventh trumpet. \r\nThe last 30 days will be the seven last plagues, which includes Armageddon then\r\nthe Second Coming. In summary: 45 +1260 + 30 = 1335 days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhen Christ comes the Living\r\nLost will be put to death instantaneously with the brightness of His coming\r\nbecause with the seven last plagues God\u2019s wrath is complete!!!Those slain by God\r\nwill be all over the earth. There will be no one alive to bury them. They will\r\nbe like garbage lying on the ground. Satan, the tempter, is bound here on earth\r\nfor a thousand years with no one to tempt. This will be his prison for 1000\r\nyears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Saved, the second jury, the\r\nDead in Christ are resurrected at this time (the first resurrection) and the Living\r\nin Christ, will be caught up to meet Christ in the air at the Second Coming,\r\nand go with Him to heaven for 1000 years to look at what is recorded in the\r\njudgment books and do their judging. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Lost will be resurrected\r\n1000 years later (the second resurrection) to vote in the trial and every knee\r\nwill bow, in heaven<\/i>, the first jury, the Never Sinned, on earth<\/i>,\r\nthe second jury, the Saved, and under the earth<\/i>, the third jury, the\r\nLost. All will confess that God\u2019s every dealing action was perfect. However,\r\nthe Lost get off their knees and are deceived by Satan, who is set free for a\r\nlittle while, into thinking that they can take the New Jerusalem city by\r\nforce. As they march day and night across the earth they will recall and\r\nrelive their mistakes and this will be mental torment to them day and night for\r\never, which is until they are put to death. As they surround New Jerusalem and\r\nthey are killing each other, the blood will be up to the horse\u2019s bridles for\r\nabout 300 kilometers. At that time, out of mercy, because God\u2019s wrath will be\r\ncompleted with the seven last plagues, He will put them to death\r\ninstantaneously as He did at the Second Coming. Nowhere\r\nin the Bible is there proof that God will torture people by burning them, even\r\na short time, while they are alive. At the Second Coming God put to death the\r\nLost living by His brightness and will do the same for the Second Death<\/span><\/u><span\r\nstyle='color:red'>. <\/span>God will not burn anyone to death; the torment of\r\nthe Lost is self-inflicted mentally. Then the dead bodies of the Lost will be\r\nthrown into the Lake Fire, which will burn the entire world, just like the\r\nflood cover the whole earth and the Lost will be ashes under our feet. Then\r\nGod will recreate earth and make His home here with the Saved. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nFor detailed study on Hell\r\nsee below: 7.2 The Lake of Fire ~ Hell<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nEveryone wants to know \u201cHow\r\nsoon is soon<\/b>?\u201d <\/i>It will depend on how fast the United Nations changes\r\nfrom being a peace keeping force to a police force. Then when people around\r\nthe world are saying \u2018peace and safety<\/span>\u2019,<\/b>\r\n<\/i>sudden destruction will come.

Where\r\nsuch identification is lacking, the interpreter is left to guess as to the\r\napplication; hence one\u2019s own opinion must be weighed with much evidence. \r\nFurther, as in parables, the various features of symbolic presentations have\r\nvarying degrees of significance and importance. Parables and symbolic prophecies\r\nmust not be made to stand on all four feet. Equal importance must not be\r\nattached to every detail of their pictures. Some features may be introduced\r\nmerely to round out the presentation, or to provide a consistent background. \r\nAs in the case of parables, we must learn the over-all objective of the vision,\r\nand what features of the pictorial presentation are intended to convey divine\r\ntruth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n2.7 <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation an Open\r\nBook<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nMany servants of\r\nGod have said that the book of Revelation is a sealed book or at the very least\r\ncannot be understood. <\/span>The very name\r\n\u201cRevelation\u201d contradicts the statement that it is a sealed book. \u2018Revelation'\r\nmeans that something of importance is revealed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:windowtext;font-style:normal;text-decoration:\r\nnone'> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation 22:10<\/span><\/b> \u201cDo\r\nnot seal up the words of the prophecy of this book\u201d <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>(Revelations can be understood.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation 1:1 <\/span><\/b>The revelation of Christ,<\/span><\/i>\r\n(The purpose of the Book of Revelation is just that; the revealing of Christ,\r\nlook for Christ and His plans in it.) which God gave\r\nhim to show his servants what must soon<\/u> take place. \u2026 3) Blessed is the\r\none who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and\r\ntake to heart what is written in it, because the time is near<\/u>.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhen John wrote\r\nthe book of Revelation, approximately 95 AD, he had only the Old Testament for\r\nreference.

Our<\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> Creator<\/span><\/span><span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'> <\/span>has a\r\nmillion ways to lead the lost to Him.

None of us are ultimately responsible\r\nfor anyone else. We are and have tried to do our best but that\u2019s all we can\r\ndo. Yes we will cry and mourn over the lost just as God will but the time of\r\nmourning will end. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Revelation 21:4<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> He will wipe every tear from\r\ntheir eyes.

It maybe\r\nimplied but there is more than one way to look at these implications. First, stick\r\nto the Biblical text<\/i>, God is Love and Just. Justice is a quick death and\r\neternal separation from God not a slow death torture and eternal separation. \r\nGod\u2019s wrath is complete at the seven last plagues. The mental torture that the\r\nLost suffer at the Third Coming is self-inflected and not caused by God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Will God\u2019s glory\r\nconsume sin from the sinner from within?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Will the wicked beg\r\nfor mercy?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Does sin kill the\r\nSinner?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNo. Sin is the result of the\r\nSinners choice. At a person\u2019s death or at the close of probation, everyone\r\nwill have made their choice. God will show the Lost facts; their life\r\nchoices. The Lost will bow down and confess that Christ<\/span>\r\nwas right, but they will not change their choice. There is no \u2018second\u2019 chance\r\nafter the close of probation. God won\u2019t torture people to get them to\r\nconfess. God tortures no one! However, God will carry out the Judgment, which\r\nis eternal separation from Him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ-- Is there a purgatory?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ-- Is there a place\r\nwhere people go after they die and before they are judged?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNo. There is no sound\r\nBiblical evidence for this. In Christ<\/span>\u2019\r\nparable in Luke 16: 19-31<\/span><\/i> of the Rich\r\nMan and Lazarus He continues the lesson of the Dishonest Steward Luke 16: 1 \u2013\r\n12. It shows that destiny is decided in this present life by the use made of\r\nits privileges and opportunities. The \u201ccertain\r\nrich man\u201d<\/span><\/i> represents all men who make a wrong use of life\u2019s\r\nopportunities. Two principles of Biblical interpretation are usually violated\r\nif this parable is interpreted literally namely; each parable is designed to\r\nteach one fundamental truth and it is not wise to use the details of a parable\r\nto teach doctrine. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nB.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:18.0pt;color:blue'>Problems with Millennium Life<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThere are a few who believe\r\nthat at the Second Coming Christ will live here on earth for 1000 years, with\r\nall of the Saved plus the Unsaved that are living at that time. They will show\r\nyou a few texts which seem to confirm their belief; however, due to the\r\noverwhelming number of other texts that point to the non-existence of life on\r\nearth during the millennium those texts must be taken out of context.

So you\r\nhave only the Living Unsaved, which are only a few of the total Unsaved, and\r\nall the Saints living together on earth at the time of the Second Coming. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhat kind of world would it\r\nbe? You would have the antediluvian people with their 12 foot immortal\r\nbodies. The Lost, with their sickly bodies and sinful nature would want to\r\nkill the saints but that\u2019s impossible because they are immortal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWill the Lost be given a\r\nsecond chance? If so how long will this take? Think about it, if there are\r\nSaints all over the world, how long would it take the Lost to change their\r\nminds to choose a life with a perfect body? It sure wouldn\u2019t take a life time.\r\nI positive there would be a lot of death bed confessions<\/i> and conversions.\r\n Also with Satan bound for 1000 years and kept from having any influence on the\r\npeople living on earth, the only influence would be the Holy Spirit, which\r\nshould result in another Pentecost with everyone being converted in a single\r\nday. But let\u2019s play this scenario out further, say half of them are saved\r\nduring their life of 80 years. Then the next generation of people with their\r\nsinful nature are born into this world, what are they going to see and believe\r\nin? Maybe after another 80 years you still have some who are stubborn and die\r\nLost. Then the next generation will have still fewer and fewer. This process\r\nwill not take 1000 years till all choose to live with an immortal body. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nAnd if these few Unsaved have\r\n1000 years to change, but the Unsaved that are resurrected at the end of the\r\n1000 years will only have a short time, He<\/span><\/i>\r\n(Satan) must be set free for a short time.

So, in a period of a year, each\r\ngroup of priests would serve in the Temple twice on their scheduled course, in\r\naddition to the 3 major festivals, for a total of about five weeks of duty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nD.3 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:16.0pt;color:blue'>The Conception of John the Baptist.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\nNow back to Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist.<\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 1:23<\/span><\/b> And\r\nit came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were\r\naccomplished, he departed to his own house.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 1:24<\/span><\/b> And\r\nafter those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ...<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nBeginning with the first month, Nisan, in the spring\r\n(March-April), the schedule of the priest's courses would result with Zacharias\r\nserving during the 10th week of the year.

It would appear that John the\r\nBaptist may have been born in the middle of the month, which would coincide\r\nwith Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It is interesting to note,\r\nthat even today, it is customary for the Jews to set out a special goblet of\r\nwine during the Passover Seder meal, in anticipation of the arrival of Elijah\r\nthat week, which is based on the prophecy of Malachi:<\/p>\r\n\r\nMalachi 4:5<\/span><\/b>\r\n Behold, I will send you <a name=\"_Hlk212854971\">Elijah<\/a> the prophet\r\nbefore the coming of the great and dreadful day of Y<\/b>eH<\/b>oV<\/b>aH<\/b>:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nChrist<\/span> identified John as\r\nthe "Elijah" that the Jews had expected:<\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew 17:10 <\/span><\/b>And his disciples asked him, saying, Why\r\nthen say the scribes that <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nElijah <\/span><\/i><\/b><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>must first come?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew\r\n17:11 <\/span><\/b> And Christ answered and said\r\nunto them, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nElijah<\/span><\/i><\/b><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'> truly shall first come, and restore all things.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew 17:12<\/span><\/b> But I say unto you, that Elijah is come\r\nalready, and they knew him not, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nbut have done\r\nunto him <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n whatsoever\r\nthey listed.

From the 15th day of the 1st month, Nisan, we go to the\r\n15th day of the 7th month, Tishri. And what do we find on that date? It is the\r\nfestival of Tabernacles! The 15th day of Tishri begins the third and last\r\nfestival of the year to which all the men of Israel were to gather in Jerusalem for Temple services.

It may be because an infant was dedicated to God by\r\nperforming circumcision on the eighth<\/em> day after birth:<\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 2:21<\/span><\/b>\r\nAnd when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his\r\nname was called Christ, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived\r\nin the womb.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nSo the infant Christ would have been circumcised on the\r\neighth and last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, a Sabbath day.

They may not have all the truth but what truth they have, they love and\r\nfollow it to the best of their ability. They do not reject it, turn their back\r\nto it, or walk away from it. They treasure it; they love it and hold on to it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nGod\u2019s children become like\r\nlittle children. What are little three or four year old children like? For one\r\nthing they believe in and trust in their father and mother and older brother\r\n100%. They do not worry about what to eat, where to sleep or what to wear. \r\nThey are the happiest people in the world. Also they are very humble, which\r\nmeans they are very teachable and want to learn and obey everything their\r\nparents tell them. They are willing to change to new habits, a new way of\r\nlife. They can play with other children that are black, white, yellow, red,\r\nbrown, rich, poor, male or female and they see no difference, all of God\u2019s\r\nchildren are equal. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h1>God\u2019s\r\nchildren are symbolized like sheep.

In a flock of\r\nsheep you have young sheep and old sheep, strong sheep and week sheep, smart\r\nsheep and dumb sheep, and the smartest sheep is still a very dumb sheep\r\ncompared to the Shepherd.

But the\r\nBible states, Revelation <\/span><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>15:1,<\/span><\/i> that God\u2019s wrath is complete with the seven\r\nlast plagues before the Second Coming and not at His Third Coming. That leaves\r\nonly justice at the Third Coming and it has to be consistent with His\r\ncharacter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJohn 14:9<\/span><\/b> <\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-style:normal;text-decoration:none'>(Christ stated)<span\r\nstyle='color:#333399'> <\/span><\/span>\u201cAnyone who has seen me has seen the Father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n Did Christ ever burn anyone\r\nalive?

His\r\ndeath makes atonement for the Saved. This is the second death and Christ calls\r\nthe second death forsaken, separation from the Father. The second death is not\r\nburning alive the lost, it is separation from God forever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJustice in Latin is\r\nRighteousness, which means, \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nDr. Graham Maxwell wrote the\r\nfollowing. When Righteousness was translated in to Latin, they were more\r\nconsistent because Justify and Justice and Just all match but unfortunately in\r\nEnglish we have Righteousness, Righteous, Unrighteous and Rightify\u2026.no we can\u2019t\r\nhave that, we have Justify. And it is confusing to people because it has\r\ndeveloped a whole understanding that somehow the justice and justification are\r\ndifferent. In the Oxford dictionary justice carries the connotation of\r\nretribution, deserved punishment,<\/i> when righteousness does not. In the\r\nBible the word means righteousness, why don\u2019t we leave what\u2019s in that context\r\nof righteousness rather than retribution and let the context speak about it. Of\r\ncourse the one that is Righteous will do what is right and just. The word\r\njustice should not be in the Bible if properly translated. If you were\r\npreaching in Latin the English word for the justice and righteousness are\r\nsame. Why should we change the original language?<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe general theology about\r\nJustice is that God will judge people according to their works and that is why\r\nsome will suffer more than others. Satan and Hitler deserve more punishment,\r\nretribution, than the simple sinner. So God will justifiably physically burn\r\nSatan\u2019s flesh longer than Hitler\u2019s and burn Hitler\u2019s flesh longer than the\r\nsimple sinners. Is that theology consistent with God\u2019s nature? The wages of\r\nsin is death <\/i>not torture. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nIf you, as a parent, have 100\r\nchildren and 10 do not want to live with you and your commandments, would you\r\nbeat them, torture each of them differently according to what each have done,\r\nand then send them away to live away from you. No, you would ask them all to\r\nleave and hope that all will repent and return to live with you. You know that\r\nwhile they are away, they will be tormented day and night recalling and\r\nreliving the truth of how you have shown them the right path and they have\r\nrejected your guidance. You will have given all of them the same punishment,\r\nwages of sin, separation from you. Their own retribution, deserved punishment,\r\nwill be of their own making. They will be tormented day and night, they will\r\nhave to relive the past in their mind. Each will be tormented according to\r\nwhat they have done in the past. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nElements of interpretation\r\nthat have entered into translation of the English New Testament.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nby Dr. Graham Maxwell. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nA study in genitives. The\r\nnumber one question is \u201cThe truth about God and his righteousness.\u201d The Bible\r\nwas written in a setting of war about God and his righteousness. In the book\r\nof Romans there can be as many as 5 different translations for the word \u201crighteousness\u201d.\r\nIn the King James, the book of Romans has to make 67 translations and\r\ninterpretations, there is no literal translated Bible. All versions are\r\ninterpretations but none have been willfully perverted. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWe have to take the largest\r\nand broadest issues first to get the big picture. The first lie, Satan accused\r\nGod of being Unrighteous. The question is not about how God deals with sinners\r\nor how he will justifiably terminate them in the end.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nI thank Dr. G. Maxwell for\r\nthe above insight. All doctrine has to be consistent with God\u2019s character, that\r\nis why I have expounded on what happens at the Lake of Fire and the Second\r\nDeath. To prove that God is Love and Love never tortures people even if people\r\nthink He is justified.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nH. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:18.0pt;color:blue'>The World According to Anderson<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe following are some\r\nquotable quotes by yours truly Everett Lloyd Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nSin<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m sinning \u2026 if I\u2019m not\r\npraising God for all<\/i> things.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nMy silence is sin of omission<\/i>,\r\n\u2026 rather than commission<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n ELA\r\n4.1984 (E<\/u><\/b>verett L<\/u><\/b>loyd A<\/u><\/b>nderson\r\nApril, 1984)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNegativism<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nAll negativism is sin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nConstructive criticism \u2026\r\nbuilds up,<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nTherefore is positive and not\r\nsin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\nELA 6.1984<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nOffensive<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNothing<\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> anyone says or does \u2026 should offend me<\/i>, (my\r\nChrist-like Nature.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nOr determine the way I\r\nact.

Anderson has\r\nstudied the end time events since 1980. He was a missionary in China for seven\r\nyears, where he wrote most of this book in 1993. He has written on this topic\r\nin a totally different light than any other author. No one has expounded on: <span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>1Thessalonians 5:3 ~ The Second Coming: While people are\r\nsaying <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\u201cPeace and\r\nsafety<\/span><\/i><\/b>, ~ destruction\r\nwill come on them suddenly<\/b>.\u201d<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nHe has addressed the issue of\r\nwho<\/i><\/b> is capable of providing worldwide safety so that people will\r\nsay \u201cPeace and safety\u201d<\/span><\/i>. And further\r\nexplains what<\/i><\/b> the sudden destruction<\/span><\/i>\r\nwill be. Rather than the vague generalities, Mr. Anderson has given a detailed\r\ntime frame and sequence of events for the last 1335 days of earth\u2019s history\r\nbefore the Second Coming as stated in Daniel\r\nchapter 12: 12 ~ The End Times.<\/span><\/i> Another refreshing authoritative\r\ndifference is, after the introduction, this book uses over fifty percent of the\r\ncontents directly quoting the Bible to provide strong Biblical evidence<span\r\nstyle='color:red'> that no Theologian has been able to prove wrong<\/b><\/span>\r\nsince 2003 when this book was first published. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe events described are sound\r\ndoctrine<\/b>, realistic, logical and consistent with God\u2019s character.

That day, the Second Coming,\r\nwill not take us, God\u2019s children, by surprise because we are children of the\r\nlight and God is light. God\u2019s light is God\u2019s truth. He has told us beforehand\r\nof all the events which will take place during the end time. We must study to\r\nfind the truth. This overview will be backed up with Biblical proof later in\r\nthis book.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nTo understand the end time\r\nevents, the end of sin events, it is imperative<\/b> that we understand the beginning\r\nof sin<\/b> events. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nSin started in heaven<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> with Lucifer<\/b>, later known as Satan, becoming\r\nproud, which is the beginning of sin, and wanting to become a god. This\r\nresulted in the first trial, the trial of God,<\/b> with Lucifer being the\r\naccuser, the plaintiff; God Christ (God Michael, which the angels called him at\r\nthat time, see appendix G), being the defendant and God the Father will be the\r\nJudge. This first sin, first conflict resulted in a war in heaven, which was a\r\nwar of words like two lawyers arguing their case. The earth is the crime scene\r\nwhere the evidence is written in the judgment books of heaven according to what\r\neach person has done during their life. The jury consists of every intelligent\r\ncreation of God. However; there are three different times of judgment. The\r\nBible states that every knee will bow but they will bow at different times thus\r\n3 jury\u2019s judgments.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe first judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe pre-advent judgment, (before the Second Coming) the first jury, consists of\r\nthe \u201cNever Sinned\u201d, (the un-fallen angels and intelligent being from other\r\nplanets) started in 1844 with the family of God; the \u201cDead in Christ\u201d, of which\r\nAbel was the first of all the \u201cDead in Christ\u201d. The last people to be judged\r\nduring this first judgment will be the \u201cLiving in Christ\u201d and their judgment will\r\nend at the seventh trumpet, which is the close of earth\u2019s probation, just prior\r\nto the Second Coming. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe second judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe millennial judgment, the second jury, consists of the \u201cSaved\u201d, will start\r\nand end their judging during their 1000 years in heaven. This will be after\r\nthe Second Coming and before the Third Coming of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe third judgment<\/i>,\r\nthe final or executive judgment, the third jury, consists of the \u201cLost\u201d, will\r\ndo their judging after the second resurrection, after the Third Coming, 1000\r\nyears after the Second Coming.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThen God, the Father, will pronounce\r\nthe verdict on the Lost, which is death, eternal separation from God. This\r\nwill conclude God\u2019s trial and there will never ever be anymore sin. Then He\r\nwill recreate earth and live here. There will be no more death or tears, and\r\neveryone will live happily ever after.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNow that we know the\r\nbeginning and the end we can now look at the last period of 1335 days of\r\nearth\u2019s history before the Second Coming of Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJust before a jury is sent\r\nout to deliberate the verdict, the lawyers of the plaintiff and defendant make\r\ntheir closing arguments. This trial is no different. These closing\r\npresentations will be 1260 days during the last 1335 days just before the\r\nSecond Coming, which is the last probation period for the human race.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Bible states that when\r\npeople are saying \u201cpeace and safety<\/span>\u201d<\/i>\r\nsudden destruction will come upon them. The sudden destruction will be the\r\nfirst four trumpets of Revelation, which are ecological disasters. The first\r\ntrumpet will start the end time count down, the 1335 days, as stated in Chapter\r\n12 of the book of Daniel, until the Second Coming. These plagues will cause worldwide\r\npanic and will result in the election of a Spiritual Leader of the World after\r\n45 days. From then till the Second Coming there will be 1290 days. The next\r\n1260 days after the Spiritual Leader of the World is put into power will be a\r\ntime of separating the sheep from the goats; followers of Christ or the\r\nAnti-Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe whole world will follow\r\nthe Spiritual Leader of the World and his man-made laws except those who will\r\nfollow the Bible and Bible only. After approximately 2 years another plague,\r\nthe fifth trumpet, will cause more panic. At this time Satan will impersonate\r\nChrist and confirm the Spiritual Leader of the World\u2019s new man-made laws and\r\nblame the plagues on the ones who are following the Bible. He will insist that\r\nthey be put to death if they do not obey. This decree is the sixth trumpet. At\r\nthe end of the 1260 days will be the close of probation, the seventh trumpet. \r\nThe last 30 days will be the seven last plagues, which includes Armageddon then\r\nthe Second Coming. In summary: 45 +1260 + 30 = 1335 days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhen Christ comes the Living\r\nLost will be put to death instantaneously with the brightness of His coming\r\nbecause with the seven last plagues God\u2019s wrath is complete!!!Those slain by God\r\nwill be all over the earth. There will be no one alive to bury them. They will\r\nbe like garbage lying on the ground. Satan, the tempter, is bound here on earth\r\nfor a thousand years with no one to tempt. This will be his prison for 1000\r\nyears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Saved, the second jury, the\r\nDead in Christ are resurrected at this time (the first resurrection) and the Living\r\nin Christ, will be caught up to meet Christ in the air at the Second Coming,\r\nand go with Him to heaven for 1000 years to look at what is recorded in the\r\njudgment books and do their judging. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Lost will be resurrected\r\n1000 years later (the second resurrection) to vote in the trial and every knee\r\nwill bow, in heaven<\/i>, the first jury, the Never Sinned, on earth<\/i>,\r\nthe second jury, the Saved, and under the earth<\/i>, the third jury, the\r\nLost. All will confess that God\u2019s every dealing action was perfect. However,\r\nthe Lost get off their knees and are deceived by Satan, who is set free for a\r\nlittle while, into thinking that they can take the New Jerusalem city by\r\nforce. As they march day and night across the earth they will recall and\r\nrelive their mistakes and this will be mental torment to them day and night for\r\never, which is until they are put to death. As they surround New Jerusalem and\r\nthey are killing each other, the blood will be up to the horse\u2019s bridles for\r\nabout 300 kilometers. At that time, out of mercy, because God\u2019s wrath will be\r\ncompleted with the seven last plagues, He will put them to death\r\ninstantaneously as He did at the Second Coming. Nowhere\r\nin the Bible is there proof that God will torture people by burning them, even\r\na short time, while they are alive. At the Second Coming God put to death the\r\nLost living by His brightness and will do the same for the Second Death<\/span><\/u><span\r\nstyle='color:red'>. <\/span>God will not burn anyone to death; the torment of\r\nthe Lost is self-inflicted mentally. Then the dead bodies of the Lost will be\r\nthrown into the Lake Fire, which will burn the entire world, just like the\r\nflood cover the whole earth and the Lost will be ashes under our feet. Then\r\nGod will recreate earth and make His home here with the Saved. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nFor detailed study on Hell\r\nsee below: 7.2 The Lake of Fire ~ Hell<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nEveryone wants to know \u201cHow\r\nsoon is soon<\/b>?\u201d <\/i>It will depend on how fast the United Nations changes\r\nfrom being a peace keeping force to a police force. Then when people around\r\nthe world are saying \u2018peace and safety<\/span>\u2019,<\/b>\r\n<\/i>sudden destruction will come. The only vehicle that can provide so called world\r\nsafety from terrorists and bad dictators is the United Nations, who\u2019s really power\r\ncomes from the USA of course. After the sudden destruction there will be 1335\r\ndays until the Second Coming of Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\n style='text-decoration:none'> <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:16.0pt;color:blue'>1.2 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:16.0pt;color:blue'>Points to Ponder<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nThis is not only a Bible\r\nstudy on the 1335 days of the end time events that lead to the Second Coming but\r\nis a vindication<\/i> of God\u2019s character that has been misrepresented for thousands\r\nof years by the common understanding of what happens to the Lost in the Lake of\r\nFire.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>Points to make in this study: <\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>1. \r\n<\/span><\/span>The Start of the End Time Events\r\nwill be shortly after people are saying \u201cPeace <\/b><\/i><\/span><span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>and<\/span><\/i><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> Safety<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u201d.<\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>2. \r\n<\/span><\/span>End Time Events Sequence. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>3. \r\n<\/span><\/span>From the start of the End Times (1st<\/sup>\r\nTrumpet) there will be 1335 days till the Second Coming. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>4. \r\n<\/span><\/span>Sound Principles of Biblical\r\nInterpretation. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>5. \r\n<\/span><\/span>How sin started and how it will\r\nend. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>6. \r\n<\/span><\/span>Distinguish between the Second\r\nComing and the Third Coming Biblical texts. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>7. \r\n<\/span><\/span>God is on trial, He is the\r\nDefendant and Satan is the Plaintiff. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>8. \r\n<\/span><\/span>The trial has 3 Juries, (1) the\r\nNever Sinned, (sinless angels) (2) the Saved and (3) the Lost. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>9. \r\n<\/span><\/span>Then \u201csudden destruction<\/b>\u201d\r\n<\/i>will come, which starts with the 1st<\/sup> Trumpet, <span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>Revelation<\/span><\/i> 8:6 <\/i> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>10. \r\n<\/span><\/span>After the 4th<\/sup> Trumpet a\r\nSpiritual Leader of the World will be elected.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>11. \r\n<\/span><\/span>After the 5th<\/sup> Trumpet\r\nSatan will impersonate Christ. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>12. \r\n<\/span><\/span>The 7 Trumpets precede the 7 Last\r\nPlagues. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>13. \r\n<\/span><\/span>God\u2019s purpose for the <a\r\nname=\"_Hlk212582403\">End Time Events<\/a>, the 7 Trumpets and the 7 Last Plagues,\r\nis the last probation period on earth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>14. \r\n<\/span><\/span>There are no humans alive on earth\r\nduring the millennium. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>15. \r\n<\/span><\/span>Good news; the Lost are not\r\nalive<\/i> when they are thrown into the Lake of Fire!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>16. \r\n<\/span><\/span>The Lost will be tormented day and\r\nnight; tortured mentally not physically.

None of the authors contradict each other;\r\ntherefore, if any other person writes about a Biblical subject, their\r\nstatements should never contradict the other authors of the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n2.4 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:16.0pt;color:blue'>Use the Entire Bible<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>2Timothy 3:16<\/span><\/b> All scripture<\/u> is God-breathed <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>(God is the Author of the Bible, God\r\napproved what man wrote, otherwise it would never have been put into His Bible)\r\n<\/span>and is useful for teaching,\r\nrebuking, correcting and training righteousness.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Proverbs 30: 5<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> Every word of God is flawless.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Psalms 119: 11<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> I have hidden your word in my\r\nheart that I might not sin against you.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Psalms 119: 105<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> Your word is a lamp to my feet and\r\na light for my path.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>John 17:17<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> Sanctify them by the\r\ntruth; your word is truth.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>1 Thessalonians 5:20<\/span><\/b> Do not treat prophecies with contempt<\/u>.\r\n21) Test everything. <\/span><\/i>(Prove\r\nit from the Bible) <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'>Hold to the good.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Matthew 24:14<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> Christ said: And this gospel <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>(Christ only had the Old Testament, this means all of\r\nthe Bible.) of the kingdom will be preached in the\r\nwhole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>15)<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/i> So when you see standing in the holy place \u2018the abomination\r\nthat causes desolation\u2019 spoken of through the prophet Daniel; let the reader\r\nunderstand<\/u>; then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains<\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:green'>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nThese are some\r\nNew Testament commands to study prophecies, not only the New Testament but the\r\nOld Testament as well, especially the book of Daniel.

Parables and symbolic prophecies\r\nmust not be made to stand on all four feet. Equal importance must not be\r\nattached to every detail of their pictures. Some features may be introduced\r\nmerely to round out the presentation, or to provide a consistent background. \r\nAs in the case of parables, we must learn the over-all objective of the vision,\r\nand what features of the pictorial presentation are intended to convey divine\r\ntruth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n2.7 <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation an Open\r\nBook<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nMany servants of\r\nGod have said that the book of Revelation is a sealed book or at the very least\r\ncannot be understood. <\/span>The very name\r\n\u201cRevelation\u201d contradicts the statement that it is a sealed book. \u2018Revelation'\r\nmeans that something of importance is revealed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:windowtext;font-style:normal;text-decoration:\r\nnone'> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation 22:10<\/span><\/b> \u201cDo\r\nnot seal up the words of the prophecy of this book\u201d <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'>(Revelations can be understood.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nRevelation 1:1 <\/span><\/b>The revelation of Christ,<\/span><\/i>\r\n(The purpose of the Book of Revelation is just that; the revealing of Christ,\r\nlook for Christ and His plans in it.) which God gave\r\nhim to show his servants what must soon<\/u> take place. \u2026 3) Blessed is the\r\none who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and\r\ntake to heart what is written in it, because the time is near<\/u>.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhen John wrote\r\nthe book of Revelation, approximately 95 AD, he had only the Old Testament for\r\nreference.

Of course God will pass out the final judgment after the\r\nverdict is in.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif;color:black'> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJury #1 <\/span>The Never Sinned started\r\njudging 1844 and will finish at the Seventh Trumpet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJury #2 <\/span>The Saved will\r\nstart judging after the Second Coming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJury #3 <\/span>The Lost will\r\nstart judging after the Third Coming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nDaniel 7:9<\/span><\/b> The Ancient of <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif;color:navy'>Days <\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif;color:black'>(God\r\nthe Father, Judge) <\/span>took His seat.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i>7:10<\/span><\/b> The Court <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif;color:black'>(Jury)\r\n<\/span>was seated and the books<\/u> were opened. <\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif;color:black'>(Everyone's\r\nlife record)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif'>Philippians\r\n2:10<\/span><\/b> At the name of Christ every knee will bow, In heaven<\/u>\r\n<\/span><\/i>(Jury\r\n#1, The Never Sinned) and on earth<\/u> <\/span><\/i>(Jury\r\n#2, The Saved) and under the earth<\/u>,<\/span><\/i>\r\n(Jury #3, The Lost) and every<\/u> tongue confess\r\n<\/span><\/i>(100%) that Christ is God.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nWe have a Court\r\nroom scene but there are three juries. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe 1st \r\n<\/sup>Jury<\/span><\/u><\/b>, <\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'>in heaven<\/span><\/i>,<\/span> all who\r\nhave never sinned.

Our<\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> Creator<\/span><\/span><span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'> <\/span>has a\r\nmillion ways to lead the lost to Him.

None of us are ultimately responsible\r\nfor anyone else. We are and have tried to do our best but that\u2019s all we can\r\ndo. Yes we will cry and mourn over the lost just as God will but the time of\r\nmourning will end. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nlang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt'>Revelation 21:4<\/span><\/b><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'> He will wipe every tear from\r\ntheir eyes.

It maybe\r\nimplied but there is more than one way to look at these implications. First, stick\r\nto the Biblical text<\/i>, God is Love and Just. Justice is a quick death and\r\neternal separation from God not a slow death torture and eternal separation. \r\nGod\u2019s wrath is complete at the seven last plagues. The mental torture that the\r\nLost suffer at the Third Coming is self-inflected and not caused by God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Will God\u2019s glory\r\nconsume sin from the sinner from within?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Will the wicked beg\r\nfor mercy?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ--Does sin kill the\r\nSinner?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNo. Sin is the result of the\r\nSinners choice. At a person\u2019s death or at the close of probation, everyone\r\nwill have made their choice. God will show the Lost facts; their life\r\nchoices. The Lost will bow down and confess that Christ<\/span>\r\nwas right, but they will not change their choice. There is no \u2018second\u2019 chance\r\nafter the close of probation. God won\u2019t torture people to get them to\r\nconfess. God tortures no one! However, God will carry out the Judgment, which\r\nis eternal separation from Him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ-- Is there a purgatory?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\nQ-- Is there a place\r\nwhere people go after they die and before they are judged?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNo. There is no sound\r\nBiblical evidence for this. In Christ<\/span>\u2019\r\nparable in Luke 16: 19-31<\/span><\/i> of the Rich\r\nMan and Lazarus He continues the lesson of the Dishonest Steward Luke 16: 1 \u2013\r\n12. It shows that destiny is decided in this present life by the use made of\r\nits privileges and opportunities. The \u201ccertain\r\nrich man\u201d<\/span><\/i> represents all men who make a wrong use of life\u2019s\r\nopportunities. Two principles of Biblical interpretation are usually violated\r\nif this parable is interpreted literally namely; each parable is designed to\r\nteach one fundamental truth and it is not wise to use the details of a parable\r\nto teach doctrine. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nB.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:18.0pt;color:blue'>Problems with Millennium Life<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThere are a few who believe\r\nthat at the Second Coming Christ will live here on earth for 1000 years, with\r\nall of the Saved plus the Unsaved that are living at that time. They will show\r\nyou a few texts which seem to confirm their belief; however, due to the\r\noverwhelming number of other texts that point to the non-existence of life on\r\nearth during the millennium those texts must be taken out of context.

So you\r\nhave only the Living Unsaved, which are only a few of the total Unsaved, and\r\nall the Saints living together on earth at the time of the Second Coming. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhat kind of world would it\r\nbe? You would have the antediluvian people with their 12 foot immortal\r\nbodies. The Lost, with their sickly bodies and sinful nature would want to\r\nkill the saints but that\u2019s impossible because they are immortal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWill the Lost be given a\r\nsecond chance? If so how long will this take? Think about it, if there are\r\nSaints all over the world, how long would it take the Lost to change their\r\nminds to choose a life with a perfect body? It sure wouldn\u2019t take a life time.\r\nI positive there would be a lot of death bed confessions<\/i> and conversions.\r\n Also with Satan bound for 1000 years and kept from having any influence on the\r\npeople living on earth, the only influence would be the Holy Spirit, which\r\nshould result in another Pentecost with everyone being converted in a single\r\nday. But let\u2019s play this scenario out further, say half of them are saved\r\nduring their life of 80 years. Then the next generation of people with their\r\nsinful nature are born into this world, what are they going to see and believe\r\nin? Maybe after another 80 years you still have some who are stubborn and die\r\nLost. Then the next generation will have still fewer and fewer. This process\r\nwill not take 1000 years till all choose to live with an immortal body. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nAnd if these few Unsaved have\r\n1000 years to change, but the Unsaved that are resurrected at the end of the\r\n1000 years will only have a short time, He<\/span><\/i>\r\n(Satan) must be set free for a short time.

So, in a period of a year, each\r\ngroup of priests would serve in the Temple twice on their scheduled course, in\r\naddition to the 3 major festivals, for a total of about five weeks of duty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nD.3 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:16.0pt;color:blue'>The Conception of John the Baptist.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\nNow back to Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist.<\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 1:23<\/span><\/b> And\r\nit came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were\r\naccomplished, he departed to his own house.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 1:24<\/span><\/b> And\r\nafter those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ...<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nBeginning with the first month, Nisan, in the spring\r\n(March-April), the schedule of the priest's courses would result with Zacharias\r\nserving during the 10th week of the year.

It would appear that John the\r\nBaptist may have been born in the middle of the month, which would coincide\r\nwith Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It is interesting to note,\r\nthat even today, it is customary for the Jews to set out a special goblet of\r\nwine during the Passover Seder meal, in anticipation of the arrival of Elijah\r\nthat week, which is based on the prophecy of Malachi:<\/p>\r\n\r\nMalachi 4:5<\/span><\/b>\r\n Behold, I will send you <a name=\"_Hlk212854971\">Elijah<\/a> the prophet\r\nbefore the coming of the great and dreadful day of Y<\/b>eH<\/b>oV<\/b>aH<\/b>:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nChrist<\/span> identified John as\r\nthe "Elijah" that the Jews had expected:<\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew 17:10 <\/span><\/b>And his disciples asked him, saying, Why\r\nthen say the scribes that <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nElijah <\/span><\/i><\/b><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>must first come?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew\r\n17:11 <\/span><\/b> And Christ answered and said\r\nunto them, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nElijah<\/span><\/i><\/b><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'> truly shall first come, and restore all things.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nMatthew 17:12<\/span><\/b> But I say unto you, that Elijah is come\r\nalready, and they knew him not, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nbut have done\r\nunto him <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n whatsoever\r\nthey listed.

From the 15th day of the 1st month, Nisan, we go to the\r\n15th day of the 7th month, Tishri. And what do we find on that date? It is the\r\nfestival of Tabernacles! The 15th day of Tishri begins the third and last\r\nfestival of the year to which all the men of Israel were to gather in Jerusalem for Temple services.

It may be because an infant was dedicated to God by\r\nperforming circumcision on the eighth<\/em> day after birth:<\/p>\r\n\r\nLuke 2:21<\/span><\/b>\r\nAnd when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his\r\nname was called Christ, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived\r\nin the womb.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\nSo the infant Christ would have been circumcised on the\r\neighth and last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, a Sabbath day.

They may not have all the truth but what truth they have, they love and\r\nfollow it to the best of their ability. They do not reject it, turn their back\r\nto it, or walk away from it. They treasure it; they love it and hold on to it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nGod\u2019s children become like\r\nlittle children. What are little three or four year old children like? For one\r\nthing they believe in and trust in their father and mother and older brother\r\n100%. They do not worry about what to eat, where to sleep or what to wear. \r\nThey are the happiest people in the world. Also they are very humble, which\r\nmeans they are very teachable and want to learn and obey everything their\r\nparents tell them. They are willing to change to new habits, a new way of\r\nlife. They can play with other children that are black, white, yellow, red,\r\nbrown, rich, poor, male or female and they see no difference, all of God\u2019s\r\nchildren are equal. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h1>God\u2019s\r\nchildren are symbolized like sheep.

In a flock of\r\nsheep you have young sheep and old sheep, strong sheep and week sheep, smart\r\nsheep and dumb sheep, and the smartest sheep is still a very dumb sheep\r\ncompared to the Shepherd.

But the\r\nBible states, Revelation <\/span><span\r\nstyle='color:navy'>15:1,<\/span><\/i> that God\u2019s wrath is complete with the seven\r\nlast plagues before the Second Coming and not at His Third Coming. That leaves\r\nonly justice at the Third Coming and it has to be consistent with His\r\ncharacter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJohn 14:9<\/span><\/b> <\/span><span\r\nstyle='font-style:normal;text-decoration:none'>(Christ stated)<span\r\nstyle='color:#333399'> <\/span><\/span>\u201cAnyone who has seen me has seen the Father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n Did Christ ever burn anyone\r\nalive?

His\r\ndeath makes atonement for the Saved. This is the second death and Christ calls\r\nthe second death forsaken, separation from the Father. The second death is not\r\nburning alive the lost, it is separation from God forever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nJustice in Latin is\r\nRighteousness, which means, \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nDr. Graham Maxwell wrote the\r\nfollowing. When Righteousness was translated in to Latin, they were more\r\nconsistent because Justify and Justice and Just all match but unfortunately in\r\nEnglish we have Righteousness, Righteous, Unrighteous and Rightify\u2026.no we can\u2019t\r\nhave that, we have Justify. And it is confusing to people because it has\r\ndeveloped a whole understanding that somehow the justice and justification are\r\ndifferent. In the Oxford dictionary justice carries the connotation of\r\nretribution, deserved punishment,<\/i> when righteousness does not. In the\r\nBible the word means righteousness, why don\u2019t we leave what\u2019s in that context\r\nof righteousness rather than retribution and let the context speak about it. Of\r\ncourse the one that is Righteous will do what is right and just. The word\r\njustice should not be in the Bible if properly translated. If you were\r\npreaching in Latin the English word for the justice and righteousness are\r\nsame. Why should we change the original language?<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe general theology about\r\nJustice is that God will judge people according to their works and that is why\r\nsome will suffer more than others. Satan and Hitler deserve more punishment,\r\nretribution, than the simple sinner. So God will justifiably physically burn\r\nSatan\u2019s flesh longer than Hitler\u2019s and burn Hitler\u2019s flesh longer than the\r\nsimple sinners. Is that theology consistent with God\u2019s nature? The wages of\r\nsin is death <\/i>not torture. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nIf you, as a parent, have 100\r\nchildren and 10 do not want to live with you and your commandments, would you\r\nbeat them, torture each of them differently according to what each have done,\r\nand then send them away to live away from you. No, you would ask them all to\r\nleave and hope that all will repent and return to live with you. You know that\r\nwhile they are away, they will be tormented day and night recalling and\r\nreliving the truth of how you have shown them the right path and they have\r\nrejected your guidance. You will have given all of them the same punishment,\r\nwages of sin, separation from you. Their own retribution, deserved punishment,\r\nwill be of their own making. They will be tormented day and night, they will\r\nhave to relive the past in their mind. Each will be tormented according to\r\nwhat they have done in the past. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nElements of interpretation\r\nthat have entered into translation of the English New Testament.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nby Dr. Graham Maxwell. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nA study in genitives. The\r\nnumber one question is \u201cThe truth about God and his righteousness.\u201d The Bible\r\nwas written in a setting of war about God and his righteousness. In the book\r\nof Romans there can be as many as 5 different translations for the word \u201crighteousness\u201d.\r\nIn the King James, the book of Romans has to make 67 translations and\r\ninterpretations, there is no literal translated Bible. All versions are\r\ninterpretations but none have been willfully perverted. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nWe have to take the largest\r\nand broadest issues first to get the big picture. The first lie, Satan accused\r\nGod of being Unrighteous. The question is not about how God deals with sinners\r\nor how he will justifiably terminate them in the end.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nI thank Dr. G. Maxwell for\r\nthe above insight. All doctrine has to be consistent with God\u2019s character, that\r\nis why I have expounded on what happens at the Lake of Fire and the Second\r\nDeath. To prove that God is Love and Love never tortures people even if people\r\nthink He is justified.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nH. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<span\r\nstyle='font-size:18.0pt;color:blue'>The World According to Anderson<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe following are some\r\nquotable quotes by yours truly Everett Lloyd Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nSin<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m sinning \u2026 if I\u2019m not\r\npraising God for all<\/i> things.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nMy silence is sin of omission<\/i>,\r\n\u2026 rather than commission<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n ELA\r\n4.1984 (E<\/u><\/b>verett L<\/u><\/b>loyd A<\/u><\/b>nderson\r\nApril, 1984)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNegativism<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nAll negativism is sin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nConstructive criticism \u2026\r\nbuilds up,<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nTherefore is positive and not\r\nsin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\nELA 6.1984<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nOffensive<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nNothing<\/span><\/i><span\r\nstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> anyone says or does \u2026 should offend me<\/i>, (my\r\nChrist-like Nature.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nOr determine the way I\r\nact.
