The World’s Climates Used To Believe They Were Hiding From God And His People, But Don’t Seem To Be Concerned About It Anymore. 

The Climates I’m Referring to includes, but are not limited to: Political, Social, Economic, Physical Environmental – (Natural and Man Made) and Spiritual Climates. 

 

✅JESUS IS RETURNING SOON! 

Political- Revelation
Many World Governments are increasing in brutality, corruption, cruelty, crime, and… 

 

Social- Revelation
Races, Classes, Injustice, and…are more apparent and pronounced and frequent. 

 

Economic- Revelation
Oppression and purging of the poor, the sick/disabled is taking place now. (mentally, physically and emotionally). 

 

Physical Environmental- Revelation
Climate change is a worldwide concern. It is Divine Judgement, resulting from sin. Gluttony, comfort, convenience and safety are the cause of climate changes with the weather disasters, drought, flooding, severe storms, earthquakes, and… I’ve also read about “Man Made” climate changes and disastrous storms and plagues,
(Natural and Supernatural occurrences will increasingly appear in frequency and intensity). 

 

Spiritual/Religious- Revelation
Many Churches resemble the World and its practices. Many Churches are morally and spiritually corrupt.

✅This is an Introduction To The Present Day Fulfillment Of Bible Prophecy, To Come, As Found In Revelation: 

✅Revelation 1-22 KJV
The Mark of the Beast will be a great temptation in buying and selling. 

Judgement Day: Jesus will come with white hair like wool, eyes like fire, and feet like brass. This is for the Righteous.
The Great White Throne will display beautiful sights. Rainbows, lightening, thunder and sea of glass. 

Divine Destruction: seven seals opens, seven trumpets blown, seven vials poured onto the Earth. (The Sea will turn to blood, the sun will scorch the earth and great earthquakes will occur). 

Devine Re-Creation: A New Heaven and New Earth with a New Jerusalem will appear, for God to live with His people for eternity.

✅Political- Revelation
 
✅Revelation 20, 11, 17, 18,19, 20, 11, 13, 19 KJV

A new and corrupt political economic system of a present day “Babylon The Great City”, will be a temptation for many- especially for the financially rich and wealthy.

The Millennium- Christ will reign 1,000 years. Christ is The King and Lord of all.

The 2 Witnesses will preach and teach, be killed and be resurrected.

Earthy Kings will subject the people to slavery, persecution, brutality and exploitation. This period will be temporary, as they believe they possess Divine rights, to do so.
New World Order, Totalitarianism, Dictatorship, and Anti-Christ Governments will rule the earth. The “Beast” symbolizing total wicked and sinful rule during this period.
It will be of catastrophic and apocalyptic proportions.

Jesus will return a second time to earth, to rule and judge.
Since Christ has overcome the world, all sin will be abolished. Only Christ’s sinless kingdom will exist, because Christ is Sovereign forever.

The Roman Empire fell, when the people protested and so will “present day” corrupt, sinful, oppressive and idolatrous regimes. (New Babylon will fall, just like the first Babylon fell.)
The kingdom’s will gather and unite to fight against Christ’s people but will instantly be defeated, by fire from Heaven.

✅Social- Revelation 

✅Revelation 3, 21 KJV 

Christ wrote to His Churches about their poor spiritual, social and ethical behaviors. Christ only rebukes His people to correct us, because He loves us. God will restore and dwell with His People, forever. Christ desires interaction with His Churches. Glory be to God, in Jesus’ name. Amen 

Christ invites “Lukewarm” Church of Laodicea to fellowship with Him, to restore lost zeal and fellowship. Christ asked them to repent and become more intimate with him, for the Church’s sake. 

Christ warned the Church of Smyrna of the future persecution, tribulations, prison, and poverty, to stay faithful, even unto their death. (Martyrdom)
Over-comers will be rewarded with sharing His throne, one day. 

Christ also warned the Church of Pergamum of False prophets – The Nicolaitans and the doctrine of Balaam. 

Christ wrote to the Church of Sardis about their “Spiritual Deadness”. They lived beneath their reputation of being spiritually alive. 

 

God will wipe away tears, suffering, mourning, sin, death or pain. Christ’ followers will dwell with Him, Father God and His Holy Spirit, forever. ✅(Revelation 21 KJV)

✅Economic- Revelation 

✅Revelation 18, 17, 6, 13 KJV 

The Mark Of The Beast and A new “Babylon” (Global Merchants will sorely weep), will dictate and thrive on
gluttony, excessive luxury, international trade, exploitation of the poor, and the weak and destitute.
All will be destroyed in an hour, by Divine judgement. Global Merchants will sorely weep for their losses of precious metals – gold, expensive silk and purple fabric/clothing, luxury items such as, ivory and marble, foods like oil, wine and flour and human beings (“slaves, and souls of men”)-human trafficking and slavery. 

There will be extreme inequality and injustice. A symbolic Black Horse will appear at the opening of the Third Seal. A severe famine, a day’s work wages will not be enough to sustain and survive. Luxuries will be no more. 

Divine Judgement will prevail. God will avenge the deaths of His People and all will understand that earthly wealth is temporary and is not of God.
The worldly economics does not compare to Spiritual wealth and truth. Spiritual wealth will forever stand, while Worldly wealth will burn away. “Babylon” will fall again, and will never be restored.

✅Physical Environment in Revelation 

✅Revelation 6, 8, 11, 16, 18, 21 KJV

Physical/Environmental Events in Revelation will occur, as follows:

Revelation 6 and 8 KJV
Seal six will open and The Atmosphere and Astronomical Elements will be destroyed. The most horrific Earthquake will shake the earth’s foundations, the sun will turn black, the moon will turn blood red, and stars will fall from the sky.

The fourth trumpet will cause 1/3rd of the the sun, the moon and the stars to darken.

Revelation 8 KJV
The first trumpet will cause hail with fire, mingled with blood to fall from the sky. Also, 1/3rd of the trees and all vegetation will burn.

The sun will scorch men. Men will still blaspheme God’s name and will refuse to repent.

 

Water and Ecological Disasters will occur in Revelation will include:

1/3rd of the sea will become toxic blood-killing 1/3 of the sea creatures and destroying ships.

A burning mountain will fall into the sea and a poisonous Star, named Wormwood will poison 1/3rd of the rivers and water fountains.

 

Drastic Geographical Changes will occur:

 

[Hearts, Minds and Souls will be transformed too. 

Revelation 11 KJV
The Two Witnesses/Prophets lived, preached God’s Word, died and were resurrected. God then called them up to Heaven.]

 

Revelation 16, 21 KJV
Vial 7, all islands will flee away. Mountains will disappear. Then, a New Heaven and a New Earth will appear, and sea will no longer exist.

✅Spiritual/Religious- Revelation 

✅Revelation 1, 2, 3, 21, 22 KJV 

The Revelation Of Jesus Christ is revealed to John. Christ is introduced as Alpha and Omega. 

Jesus Christ sent messages/warnings to His seven Churches. 

John saw Apocalyptic Visions of The Great White Throne, the slain Lamb, the seven Seals, the seven Trumpets, the seven Vials/Bowls, and the Mark Of The Beast. The Mark Of The Beast is Three 6s on the forehead or hand of the Souls who accepts it. They will be able to buy and sell but they will receive eternal death. 

But God made promises that He “shall wipe away all tears” and there will be no more death, sorrow, or pain for the Souls who will endure and overcome.
✅(Revelation 21:4 KJV) 

“Babylon- The Great City”, will fall.
All sin will be destroyed. The Beast and the False Prophet, will be destroyed, to never be restored and to suffer an eternal death. 

✅Take comfort in knowing that God keeps His promises. (Revelation 21:4 KJV)
John witnessed a New Heaven and New Earth. 

✅God’s promises were fulfilled, in John’s visions. (Revelation 21, 22 KJV) God’s People will live with Him, forever. God’s Glory will shine brightly and forever.

✅✅✅River Cush/Kush And Cushites = Africa’s Nile River/Valley Bible Reference With 

Wikipedia.org 

 

 

God’s People 

Biblical Significance: In the Old Testament, the “land of Cush” is often associated with this Nile region, sometimes translated as Ethiopia. The Gihon River, described in Genesis as winding through Cush, is often linked to these African rivers.” 

Citation: Wikipedia.org 

“The term “River Cush/Kush” generally refers to the Nile River, specifically the stretch flowing through the ancient Kingdom of Kush (modern-day Sudan), or the Gihon River associated with the land of Cush in biblical geography. Ancient Kush was a Nubian kingdom located along the Nile, famous for its trade and capital at Meroe.” 

Citation: Wikipedia.org 

“The Nile[b] (also known as the Nile River or River Nile) is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa and flows into the Mediterranean Sea. At 7,088 km (4,404 mi) long, it is the longest river in the world, although the volume of water it carries is much smaller than other major rivers such as the Amazon or Congo. Its drainage basin covers eleven countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan, and Egypt. It plays an important economic role in the economy of these nations, and it is the primary water source for
South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt.” 

Citation Wikipedia.org 

“Ethiopia,[c] officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country located in the Horn of Africa region of East Africa. It shares borders with Eritrea to the north, Djibouti to the northeast, Somalia to the east, Kenya to the south, South Sudanto the west, and Sudan to the northwest. Ethiopia covers a land area of 1,104,300 square kilometres (426,400 sq mi).[12] As of 2025, it has around 135 million inhabitants, making it the 14th-most populous country.[13]The national capital and largest city, Addis Ababa, lies several kilometres west of the East African Rift that splits the country into the African and Somalitectonic plates.[14]”

-Ham begat Cush.
-Cush begat Nimrod. 

Genesis 10:6-8
King James Version
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

-Present Day Sudan/Ethiopia connects with Nubian Kingdom. 

Isaiah 18
King James Version
18 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion. 

Nubia refers to an ancient region in northeastern Africa, straddling modern-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan, known for its rich resources like gold, powerful kingdoms (Kush), and significant cultural exchange with ancient Egypt, acting as a bridge between Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa. It was home to early African civilizations, developed distinct cultures (like Kerma), and even ruled Egypt for a period, leaving behind monuments in the Nile Valley.” 

Citation: Wikipedia.org 

“Key connections between Ethiopia and Nubia include:

  • Geographic and Genetic Proximity: Situated in Northeast Africa, both regions are interconnected through the Nile Valley and share genetic, linguistic, and cultural ties. 
  • Shared Early Christianity:Following the 4th-century conversion of King Ezana of Aksum (Ethiopia) and the christianization of Nubian kingdoms, both regions developed unique Christian traditions that persisted throughout the Middle Ages, often relying on the Coptic Patriarch in Egypt. 
  • Distinct Regional Focus: While often grouped, they maintained different spheres; ancient Nubian (Kush) civilization was centered on the Nile, while the
    Kingdom of Aksum (Ethiopia) was oriented toward the Red Sea and Arabian trade.
  • Historical Roles: Nubia was a dominant Christian power before the rise of the Solomonic dynasty in Ethiopia (1270), with both regions sometimes misidentified as “Ethiopia” or “Kush” in medieval texts.
  • Interaction with Islam: After the rise of Islam in Egypt, both Nubia and Ethiopia remained Christian, but experienced different trajectories: Nubia eventually saw the decline of its Christian kingdoms (e.g., Dongola in 1317), while Ethiopia’s Christian kingdom persisted, notes the BBC.”

-Landmarks:
King Hezekiah redirected the River Gihon to Jerusalem’s west side. 

2 Chronicles 32:30
King James Version
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 

AND 

The River Gihon flowed from Egypt, winding through Cush. (SEE GENESIS 2:13 KJV) 

Genesis 2:10-15
King James Version
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 

“Cush is a Hebrew name that is possibly derived from Kash, the Egyptian name of Upper Nubiaand later of the Nubian kingdom at Napata, known as the Kingdom of Kush. Alternatively the biblical name may be a mistranslation of the Mesopotamiancity of Kish. [7]
The form Kush appears in Egyptian records as early as the reign of Mentuhotep II (21st century BC), in an inscription detailing his campaigns against the Nubian region.[8] At the time of the compilation of the Hebrew Bible, and throughout classical antiquity, the  
Nubian kingdom was centered at Meroëin the modern-day nation of Sudan.[7] Biblical scholar Kevin Burrell argues that Cush in the Table of Nations should be identified with Meluhha, a placename originally referring to a region east of Mesopotamia but which starting from the mid-2nd millennium BC onwards became equated with the territory of Kush in Nubia. According to Burrell, this explains both Cush’s Mesopotamian connections in the biblical narrative through his son Nimrod and the fact that his name derives from a Nubiankingdom.[9]”

✅✅✅Father God, I’m Honestly Afraid To Go To Sleep Now

We know that You’ve never given us the Spirit of fear. I’m fearful of leaving my Ministries, in which You have bestowed upon us. Help us to not be tempted by such spirit? Help us to ultimately and completely trust in You-Father-God, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Father-God, I long to meet You, Jesus and Your Holy Spirit, in Paradise, but I want to complete more years of work for You-God, here on Earth. May You, Father-God grant this desire, as according to Your Will. Father GOD, when our appointed time arrives, make us worthy to spend Eternity in the New Heaven and New Earth with You, in all of Your honor and Glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Our Father-God, we love and adore You. We need Your Holy Spirit now.
If this illness is meant to take me home, to Your Heaven, for Eternity,
please prepare and keep us now and forever, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Thank You, You have always been faithful and true. Father God, thank You for all of Your love, blessings, mercy and grace, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

We all belong to You-Our Heavenly Father. Father God, You are aware that there is much work to be done and many people depending on me on their behalves, to obey You Heavenly Father-God.

✅✅✅Tongues vs. Prophecy

(Spiritual Gifts To Desire To Worship God) 

*The Spiritual Gift of Speaking in Tongues Is A Special And Edifying Form Of Communicating To God, which bypasses the enemy’s attacks and understanding. 

*Speaking in tongues is an unknown form of communication to God and potential warfare against the enemy. 

*Uninterpreted Tongues edifies the Speaker. Interpreted Tongues edifies the Church.

*Tongues will only benefit the Church if speech is clear and meaningful.

*Tongues must have an Interpreter, to be legitimate. 

 

*The Spiritual Gift of Prophecy edifies the entire Church. 

*Unbelievers can benefit from prophecy in the Church. 

*Prophesying can comfort, strengthen and encourage everyone in the Church. 

*Prophesying is more beneficial than Speaking in Tongues, in the Church because it does not require an Interpreter and can convict them if sin and lead them to worship God. 

 

*Both Spiritual Gifts of Tongues and Prophets must be done in pairs (2) or in groups of three (3) in Church. 

*Both must be done with control and not in chaos because God requires order, peace and understanding/intellibility, in His Church. 

Corinthians 14:1-33
King James Version
14 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

✅✅✅Woes Or Blessings? 

We Have A Choice.

 

The Woes are (Cursed).

Isaiah 10:1-2
King James Version
10 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

Isaiah 5:20
King James Version
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Micah 2
King James Version
2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lordstraitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.

Isaiah 10
King James Version
10 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord Godof hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

 

The Blessed are (Rewarded).

 

Matthew 5:3-12
King James Version
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

No man knows when Jesus will retire. We must always be prepared.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

✅✅✅(OT) Where is Abraham and many other Old Testament Saints?

(NT) Where are the New Testament Saints? 

Did they all eventually go to Heaven? 

 
  1. Before Jesus’ ascension into Heaven: 

The Saints in the Old Testament first went to a holding place called:[Sheol=Abraham’s Bosom]. Then Jesus transported them to the Most Highest Heaven. 

Luke 16:22-23
King James Version
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 

 
  1. After Jesus’ ascension into Heaven: 

Jesus gathered them and took them into the highest level of Heaven with God. (Noah, Moses, Enoch, Elijah, The 12 Tribes of Israel…) 

This level is also known as Paradise, The Third Heaven or The Most High Heaven. (OTHER ANCIENT REMOVED ETHIOPIAN BOOKS MENTIONS SEVEN (7) HEAVENS. I will research and explore.)
Luke 23:43
King James Version
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

2 Corinthians 12:2-4
King James Version
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 

Revelation 2:7
King James Version
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 

Revelation 22:1-2
King James Version
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

Since Our Most High God dwells in His Most High Heaven or Paradise as described by Paul, so does His Saints. This place is also known as the Third Heaven.
Psalm 103:11-12
King James Version
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 

Luke 23:42-43
King James Version
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

Matthew 22:31-32
King James Version
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 

2 Corinthians 12:2-4
King James Version
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Where is Jesus?
Jesus is in the Most High Heaven seated on the right hand side of the Most High God’s throne or the Third Heaven. 

Psalm 7:17
King James Version
17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high. 

Hebrews 1:3
King James Version
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 

John 14:2-4
King James Version
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 

Jesus’ Spirit also dwells within us here on Earth. 

Matthew 28:18-20
King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 

Where did Stephen go after he was martyred? As he was being stoned, Stephen envisioned Jesus standing at the right side of God’s throne.
(It is assumed that all of Jesus’ original 12 martyred Disciples are also in Heaven.) 

Acts 7:54-60
King James Version
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 

Dying for Jesus’ namesake guaranteed the Saints an eternal home in Heaven. We will see them all in God’s New Heaven and New Earth, if we too die for Jesus’ namesake. 

New Heaven and New Earth houses the 12 Tribes of Israel, (12 Gates).

Revelation 21:12
King James Version
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 

The 12 Tribes of Israel prepared to become Heaven’s gates, as mentioned in the book of Revelation. 

Revelation 7:5-8
King James Version
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. 

New Heaven and New Earth now houses Jesus’ 12 Disciples as Heaven’s wall Foundations. 

Revelation 21:14
King James Version
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 

Jesus’ 12 Disciples along with John The Baptist, were the first to be martyred for His namesake.
Matthew 16:20-28
King James Version
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Examples: 

Ex. 1. James, John’s Brother, was martyred. 

Acts 12:1-9
King James Version
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.
(Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 

Ex. 2. Stephen was martyred. He saw Jesus in Heaven as he was being stoned to death, for Jesus’ namesake. 

Acts 7:54-60
King James Version
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 

Ex. 3. John The Baptist was martyred (beheaded). 

Matthew 14:1-12
King James Version
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.
(Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 

Ex. 2. Stephen was martyred. He saw Jesus in Heaven as he was being stoned to death, for Jesus’ namesake. 

Acts 7:54-60
King James Version
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 

Ex. 3. John The Baptist was martyred (beheaded). 

Matthew 14:1-12
King James Version
14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
