The Kingdom of Godīs Lamb is near!
The new world order, which the Lamb of God brings on earth, is near. Then the new human being, created by Jesus Christ, will gain a resurrection.
Good news to bad people
Don't be afraid, it takes at least one thousand years before the end of the world comes. Instead be afraid of God, to whom you must give account of your life. Do not love this civilization, because it will be destroyed. Instead love God who loved you and gave His One and Only Son to suffer the punishment of your evilness.

Look, Jesus Christ is God's Lamb for the guilt offering! He is the sacrifice for your sins, and He is not sacrificed only for your sake, but for the sake of the salvation of all people. Did you hear this gospel? If you are obedient to it, you confess your evilness to God and surrender to the Redeemer of your sins.

Don't you admit that you are evil? You don't dare to be conscious of it, because thinking about your evilness causes you to hate yourself. It's time to awake and be aware of the truth about yourself, for Jesus was hated on the cross in your place! In the light of the gospel you are able to be conscious of the truth about yourself without becoming a misanthropist.

It is consequential behavior that you oppose good God, because you are an evil man. Are you going to let God win you over or do you fight against Him? Rather fight against your own evilness and ask the Lamb of God to give you power to overcome it. Go to God's side against yourself. Confess your evilness to Jesus and let Him change you.

All the states of the world are realms of evilness, but the kingdom of goodness is near. Jesus, the Lamb of God will come soon on the earth and He will shatter all evilness. Now He is only waiting for one thing before He comes. He would like to win your heart and gain you as a citizen of His Kingdom.

Bad news to good people
The Kingdom of God's Lamb is coming on the earth. This is bad news to many who think they don't need God or the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. They believe that men will be evolved better and better. They become furious about the intervention of God, because they have put their hope in the evolution. Do you still believe in yourself and the goodness of man? Have you the hope that everything will finally change good in the world by actions of man?

It is strange that men are faithful to some of their principles, although the facts prove them to be fallacious. They are not disappointed in themselves and in possibilities of men, although they in practice see a lot of lies, deceptions, robberies, plotting, violence and all kinds of injustice. They have closed their ears from the gospel of God, because it doesn't give any hope of man's own goodness. They don't accept that Jesus would live in them and would cause God's goodness in them. No, they want to have their own goodness and not the goodness of God.

Really, many work hard so that the world would be saved. They believe that good circumstances make people good. They believe in the power of a good social system and mental education. Just they have used media to create the common concept of man being good. What then if the facts will fall on them so badly that they lose their hope of goodness of man? Then they would have a possibility to admit that God is right. He decided to create a new man in Jesus Christ and not to repair the old one.

The illusion of goodness of man is pride. Everyone will someday get a bitter awakening from his dream where people were good. However at that moment many rather choose to hate themselves and other people than to humble themselves and beg for mercy from the Lamb of God. The time before the coming of Jesus is the time of hate when people hate themselves and each others. The world will be full of people who have the same kind of mind as the school shooters.

Observe the news of God
Every one of us lives our own little life with its own inner atmosphere. In the world around us whatever can happen and it doesn't need to fill our inner life. Be careful with what you allow to enter your heart and what kind of thoughts you allow to stay in your mind.

When you listen to the news be careful with what you receive. Half-truths are used to capture you in the power of lies. They formulate news articles so that your attitudes to things and to people would be changed to the direction they want. It is easy to remain staring at the spectacle of this world and to sink into its overpowering nirvana.

You cannot avoid observing news about the glory of "successful" people, if there is pride in you. Possibilities to make money captivate your consciousness and a collapse of the stock market panics you, if there is greed in you. Advertisements of shining products work in your heart and create needs to own them, if you love properties. If you love selfish pleasures, the enchantment of entertainment involves your mind in its ecstasy.

If you have died together with Jesus, there is no pride, no greed and no selfishness in you. Then your inner eye is healthy and you live in light, where you see clearly the deceitfulness of the world. Let the fire of God burn in your heart and let it light up your mind and let it nourish your thoughts!

Many believers would like to know what the truth behind news is. They examine conspiracies and they want to present the news in the light of the Bible. When doing this work their inner eye is in danger, because the darkness they examine can blind them. Jesus has given us the inner eye that sees the world from the viewpoint of God. You can become blind again, if you don't guard your thoughts. The truth is not exposed by examining the source of the news, but you need a pure heart for it.

Observe the news of God! If you don't get nourishment for your spirit from God, the nourishment of this world fills you. Purge thoughts of your heart from that sour nourishment and ask to eat the food of God's word. You cannot remain in faith only in the power of the letter of God's word, but you need to hear words from His mouth. "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God'." Mt.4:4  

Crucify your selfishness, your greed and your pride in the Holy Spirit - for the sake of God's love! Turn the face of your heart toward the Lamb of God. He is the King of Truth. What kind of atmosphere is there in the Paradise of God? The Holy Spirit conveys "news from the Paradise" to those who belong to Jesus. I thirst for greetings from God. Even a little experience that has come from the eternal garden gives strength to wait for getting away from this perishable world to the real world.

Wait for the coming of the Kingdom of God
The resurrection of the citizens of the Kingdom of God is a great event. A huge crowd of people whom Jesus has saved during about 6000 years now lives in the Paradise of God. There they all are waiting for the resurrection of the righteous. Every day new people arrive there from time. Also I am waiting for getting there when my body stops working.

We know that before the coming of Jesus there will be difficult times in the world. Time will come when a believer must not observe the events of the world at all. Do not follow the news about the actions of Antichrist and the beast, when they start their work. For us this is the similar word of God as His word to Lot, when he had to escape from Sodom: "Do not look behind you!" His wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. Jesus says: "Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it." Lu.17:32-33  

The fire of your spirit, which was set on fire by the Lamb of God, lights your inner world. Look at God in that light and turn your back to the darkness that surrounds you. Wait for the King who will fetch you home. Jesus has promised in this way: "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he shall never see death." Joh.8:51  

I will not see death, but Jesus will come to collect me home. What would be the difference if I saw death? Think about the previous words of Jesus in the inverse meaning: "If anyone doesn't keep the words of Jesus, he will see death." Death will come to collect a godless one. A reaper will come for everyone, but which of them will reap you, Jesus or death?

I have died together with Jesus, therefore I need not die again. Jesus has the authority to collect His own, because He has the keys of Death and Hades: "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last! I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death." Re.1:17-18  

Antichrist, the beast and the government of the world will be allowed to rule a little while, because they have a lot of people in the world. They will appear to prepare their own for the war against God. They know that they cannot win that war, but they prefer being destroyed in the war against Jesus to surrendering to Him.

I don't wait for death or Antichrist, but Jesus, the King. Let the Kingdom of God come!

The lamb of God will take power on earth
All nations will gather to Armageddon to fight - not against Israel - but against Almighty God. They gather there because they know on which place of the earth Jesus will step down.

The devil, the government of the world and Antichrist do their preparations to urge people against God. On the other hand God does His own preparations so that everything would be ready "on the great day of God Almighty".

One day in the Paradise Jesus says to His saints: "This is the day when you are allowed to dress in a new body. I send you down to my saints living on earth. There you will get dressed in a new body together with them. When the angel sounds his trumpet, you will get a new body together with them and I will catch up all of you at the very moment to me."

When the saints of the Paradise come down, they are invisible, because they are spiritual beings. However, those who belong to Jesus and live on the earth feel their presence which revives them greatly. Then they hear in their heart the testimony of the Holy Spirit: "Behold, Jesus is coming! Go to meet Him!" Saints of Jesus from the Paradise will appear here like morning dew and rise again up to God. "Your people shall be volunteers in the day of your power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth." Ps.110:3  

What kind of an experience will the resurrection be! We will get a new body that is similar to the glorious body into which Jesus' earthly body was changed after His resurrection. He went through walls and appeared wherever He wanted. In that body it's possible to move in space without any spacecraft.

What an amazing meeting up in the air. The believers of all ages come to Jesus dressed in a new body. Joy and happiness will be indescribable.

Jesus mounts His heavenly horse and says to His own: "Mount your horses. Now let's go. Follow me to the battle, but you will not fight only I alone will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God."

The great gate is opened in space from which Jesus with His saints rush like a fire ball towards the earth. What kind of an experience it will be to ride in the middle of fire on a heavenly horse in the crowd of saints and look at Jesus riding ahead!

"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS." Re.19:11-16  

The era of the Thousand Years Kingdom starts when the devil has been bound with a chain and thrown into the Abyss and the leader of the government of the world that is the beast and Antichrist have been thrown into the lake of fire. Jesus also liberates the nature from the bondage of sin. Then the climate, plants and animals will be changed and also remaining people get better.

When the earth has been refined it is time to celebrate. Then will be the wedding of the Lamb of God and His Church. It will be the great Supper of God's people as we celebrate our Holy Covenant with God. Blessed and happy is the person who is allowed to participate in that Supper.

On the earth there will still be ordinary sinners although many died in the plagues that God sent. Among them there walk those who belong to Jesus in their new bodies. Some of them rule the remaining nations. David will then be the King of Israel. "David my servant shall be king over them." Eze.37:24  

Then Jerusalem lives in peace without walls and without army. Then all the descendants of Israel will return their own country.

The end of the world
What shall it be like to live in the world where Jesus rules together with His saints? God has told us what life is like in Israel during the Thousand Years Kingdom. Certainly life in other countries will be similar.

"And I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I, the LORD, have spoken. I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them." Eze.34:24-27  

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." Isa.11:6-9  

After one thousand years the devil will be released from his prison. "He will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth. Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them." Re.20:8-9  

About this war of Gog it has been predicted already in the Old Testament. There God says to the prince of Gog. "In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you. Thus says the Lord God: On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: You will say, 'I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.'" Eze.38:-8-11  

Why does the devil succeed in exciting those nations against Israel, though all of them were allowed to enjoy the loveliness of the restored nature? In this way it will be proved that bad living conditions don't cause evilness of man. This last war proves that our evilness comes from our envy of those who God has blessed more than us.

After this the devil will be thrown into the lake of fire and God rises all the people from the dead and they will be judged according to what they had done. Then this planet will be burnt with fire and God creates the new earth and the new heaven.

Is it not so that there is in your heart envy of those who have got a share of God's mercy? Do not believe the lies the devil tells you! God is not partial; surely He loves also you - in Jesus Christ. Take hold of the eternal life which is offered you in the Lamb of God.
