A Harmony of the Four gospels lists the events in Christ's life, on earth, chronological order. of when the occurred.
This study used the S.D.A. Bible Commentary, Vol 5, pp. 1`96- 201, and shows a total of 179, "Gospel Harmony Events", [Gospel Harmony Events] of Christ's life works. We will use only a small amount here.
Matthew 3 is in chronological order as the fourth chapter, Christ's temptations. But in Matthew 5,6,7, switches the the order of importance for Christ's greatest and longest single sermon, The sermon on the Mount.
Next are some events in the Life of Christ BEFORE, His Sermon on the Mount:
GHE:21 [ John the Baptist, proclaimed Jesus the Messiah and the Son of God] John 1:25-34 "And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."
GHE: 23. [ Christ's first Miracle turing water into Grape Juice] John 2:1-12 "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.[ about 120 gallons] And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days."
GHE:24 [Jesus proved His authority, angering the Priests]. John 2:13-25 "And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."
GHE: 27. [ Christ's first teaching a non-Jew, the Samaritan" woman at the well, about The Water of Life] John 4:1-12 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs go through Samaria. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?"
GHE: 30. John 5:1-14. Christ's FIRST SABBATH healing of a cripple man, He was told, take up thy bed and walk"
GHE:31. John 5:15-18.[ This is the FIRST time the Jews want to kill Jesus Q:" Did the Angels shield Him from human view?" Jesus never used his powers for His own use and benefit, nor could He, it would have made void his perfect life, and thus die in vain!
GHE: 33. Luke 4:16-30. Christ taught God loves the Gentiles, people angry, Tried to cast Him over the cliff. [ Q: Did the angels shield Him from human view?"
GHE: 36. Mark 1:21-28. Christ first casting out a devil, This made Him known throughout Galilee.
GHE: 39. Matthew 8:1-4. Christ's healing, His first Leper before a great multitude.
GHE: 40.Mark 2:1-12. Christ's First forgiving of sin Scribes upset thinking Jesus, Blasphemed, as ONLY GOD can forgive sins of men. {They did not accept Him as God, then or now!]
GHE: 42. Mark 2:23-28. Jesus is LORD of the Sabbath, defended disciples of eating grain on the
Sabbath [they claimed it was harvesting]
GHE: 43. Matthew 12:9-14. Jesus heals on the Sabbath, saying it's OK to do good on the
Sabbath. The Pharisees wanted to kill Him.
GHE: 44. Mark 3:7-12. Great multitudes followed Jesus, He's very popular with the people!
GHE: 45. Luke 6:12-16. Jesus chose 12 Disciples, to help Him carry the Word to all nations,
Please note, The other gospels contains the Events Matthew did not record
GHE: 46. Mathew 5,6,7. carries the Sermon on the Mount.
Here's Ellen G. White's comments on Christ's sermon: {note (JB) Yes there 's been much written about this lady, but remember If GOD is for it, Satan's again it, for he is always in direct opposition to the the truth of God! Most who write to deride her have n ever read any of her books! The Steps to Christ, The Great Controversy, and The Desire of Ages, have been widely accepted as three of the Greatest books penned by human being! As all her works, magnify, and put a tight "spot-light" on the word of God, to help us "STIFF-Necks" to understand it!]
"When Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, His disciples were gathered close about Him, and the multitude, filled with intense curiosity, also pressed as near as possible. Something more than usual was expected. Eager faces and listening attitudes gave evidence of the deep. The attention of all seemed to be riveted upon the Speaker. His eyes were lighted up with unutterable love, and the heavenly expression upon His countenance gave meaning to every word He uttered. Angels of Heaven were in that listening throng. There, too, was the Adversary of souls---" [see Genesis 2:7 a soul is living breathing being, not a separate added on feature to any living breathing moving life-form]
"----- with his evil angels, prepared to counteract, as far as possible, the influence of the Heavenly Teacher. The truths there uttered have come down through the ages and have been a light amid the general darkness of error. But in the words He then spoke, many have found them to be that which the soul most needed--- a sure foundation of faith {Trust] and practice. But in the words spoken by the greatest Teacher the world has ever known, there is no parade of human eloquence. The language is plain, and the thoughts and sentiments are marked with the greatest simplicity. The poor, the unlearned, the most simple-minded, can understand them The LORD of Heaven was in mercy and kindness, addressing the souls He came to save. He taught them not as one having authority, speaking the words of eternal life." Testimonies for the church, Vol 5,pp. 253,254.
"OUTLINE OF CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT:"
Please know the Full Godhead, The Biblical Trinity, all work as one towards the saving of sinners.
Matthew 5:1-4 informs us all of the steps we sinners must take to be saved, This process is called JUSTIFICATION, which is instant, and differs from SANCTIFICATION which is a process over time.
1. Matthew 5:3 " Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Poor in Spirit.."
NOTE: Poor in Spirit,, not proud, but meek, lowly of heart, for THEY shall inherit the earth!
John 16:7-8 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"
NOTE: The "Comforter", "The Spirit of Truth", the "Holy Spirit.", the "Holy Ghost" are all the "HE" and it is He , Who reproves, [convicts] the sinners they are lost.
2. Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted"
2 Corinthians 7:9-10 :Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
NOTE: Even the urge to repent comes not within us but from God via the Holy Spirit's urging.
3..Matthew 5:5 "Meek" Sorry no to be confused with weak.
Acts 5:30-31 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
NOTE: They had just finished murdering Jesus, and now they speak these words,to His killers... meek yes! But not weak, agree?
4. Matt. 5:6. "Hunger after righteousness"
John 3:5-7 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
It is the Holy Spirit that reworks our character, over time, and gives us the New Birth of righteousness.
Christ used the next four verses, [7-11] of blessings, are Living the Christian Life after being saved, { the moment of one's honest acceptance of Jesus as their Personal Savior }
He used simple words. Sanctification for conviction: "mourn" for contrition; "Meek" for repentance; "hunger- thirst", for our New Birth. The other 105 verses are living the Christian Life. { Something most Church goers do not do, John 14:15 If you love me obey my commandments" So what do they do? break the fourth every Sunday in place of the SEVENTH DAY Sabbath! Obeying men not God Exodus 20:7-11..
In our daily battle with sin, Jesus gives Light/Truth... John 1:9-10 "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
Note: Thus Jesus was/is both GOD and Man! [John 1:1=3,14]
Acts 5:31 " Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
NOTE: please know that our confession must come first!. Repentance means to TURN AWAY FROM, RETURN to God via Jesus!
Our Heavenly father gives----- Romans 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
QUESTION: Can we do this and still have our skin tattooed? Or every possible place a piercing? Think!
He's given ALL a measure of faith----- 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 "Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
Romans 12:3 " For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."
Question: "..God has dealt to every man..... is there anyone left out from this EVERY MAN?
Godly SORROW: The Holy Spirit gives us conviction of sins..... the New Birth....
Galatians 5:22-26 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, [patience] gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:[ eat, and drink, only that which is good, in moderation, and leave alone, that which is bad] against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
Note: "..there is no law.." Sorry the Ten Laws are eternal, but follow the above and you shall NOT be under the LAW"S CONDEMNATIONS, but the LAW remains!
NOTE: However all those who are in the world who do----
Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedition's, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Note Galatians, here Paul left the do's and the don'ts for all people, plain and simply put, agree?
Please note: The righteous traits are instilled into our hearts/minds, via the Holy Spirit. Now also know there are TWO kinds or types of Spirits, the Good from The Father, and the evil from Satan, and it is from Satan that men have received all the things that stand against the word of God. The many greatest lies today?
1. Man has an immortal soul. [only God has immortality, thus to burn forever, HE must give evil beings eternal life. That is not biblical! 1 Timothy 6:15-16]
2. Die and go to one's reward, the Bible says the dead return to dust Gen.3:19
3. Sun Day sacredness. Gen.2:1-3. Exodus 20:7-11. John 14:15. Q: what day did Christ die? A: Good Friday. Q; what day did He Sabbath--REST? From Sundown Friday to sundown Saturday the SEVENTH DAY. Q: What day did He rise up? A. The First day of the week. read Daniel 7:25 and 2 Thessalonians 2, for the why!
NOTE: For the fruit of the Holy Spirit read Ephesians chapter 5., these are gifts from The Father.
TO DECEIVE EVEN THE VERY ELECT.
Matthew 24:24 " For there shall arise false Christs , and false prophets , and shall shew great signs and wonders ; insomuch that , if it were possible , they shall deceive the very elect "..
Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect"
DUNATOS:[ IF POSSIBLE] STRONG'S 1415- POWERFUL, CAPABLE, COULD.
PLANAO- [ DECEIVE] 4105 TO ROAM FROM TRUTH-VIRTUE, GO ASTRAY, SEDUCE, TO BE OUT OF THE WAY.
EKLEKTOS; 1586. BY IMPLICATION, FAVORITE, CHOSEN ELECT. ALL ARE CHOSEN.
SUNDAY SACREDNESS is a man-made law, a Tradition that voids God's Law the The seventh Day Sabbath of Exodus 20.
So how will Satan attempt to deceive, even the very elect? He shall appear as an ANGEL OF LIGHT.
2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
"His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tone, he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths, which Jesus Christ The Savior uttered..He shall heal the deseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and shall command ALL to hallow that day which he blessed. He declares that those who insist in keeping the seventh day are blaspheming his name, by refusing to listen to his angles sent to them with light and truth." from "The Great Controversy" p. 624. E.G. White.
It is natural, and very cunning, for Satan to quote Christ's words from the Sermon on the mount. This sermon is popular, even well known, and highly respected by the majority of the world. Some Scriptures that Satan might use are:
Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
NOTE: As Satan's greatest role-playing, that of impersonating Jesus Christ, he can thus appeal and invite, Christians, Jews Muslims even atheists, to become Peace-Makers" right? Yet he is the destroyer of this world, and all that is in it, so why for peace?
True, but he needs Scriptures, not miracles, to deceive God's people, into believing he is Jesus! Plus the Seventh Beatitude from Christ's Sermon on the Mount isa beautiful truth to deceive the Saints.
1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."
Note: Satan has powers beyond, far beyond us humans, and he will, have all the Nations, to disarm, and have PEACE AND SAFETY, to ATTEMPT, prove he is Jesus! Then sudden destruction cometh upon all who refuse him!
NOTE 2: Please know the phony one will be all over the news, 24/7 showing of his speeches, while walking upon this earth! Remember, PLEASE he is the first supernatural we see, but the Second ONE The Jesus Christ, will not, shall not ever put His holy feet upon this earth but will hover in the clouds, where the saints shall gather! 2 Thessalonians 2.1-12.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Satan, as the great impostor, will use the false teaching men have put forth for 100,s of years, about the 1,000 years, the Millennium, to deceive all that are possible, that all will have a Second chance at redemption's salvation!
Questions: Did Noah's neighbors receive a second chance? NO! How about Lot's neighbors and his wife? NO! Sodom and 6 other locations were destroyed by fire!
Did Egypt get a second chance for the death of all their first born? NOPE! This so called 7 years from Rome et al, is from within Daniel overall prophecy, that was split into two equal parts 3.5 years of Jesus' ministry, and then 3.5 years of gospel ministry by the disciples until the the stoning death by the Jews of Stephen, which signaled the end of national salvation for the Jews, it was reduced to the individual to come to Jesus in acceptance as their personal Savior, as with all others!
Humanity has had a life-time, of chances to reconcile themselves to Christ, but most will not bother!
SIGNS OF THE TIMES MAGAZINE JULY 4, 1900: "Much of the preaching of the present day is of a character to lull the people into a spiritual sleep, a stupor, if you will. The doctrine of the millennium is a potion to the sinner who does not desire to cease from their sins."
DESIRE OF THE AGES. P. 633. "Christ does not here bring to view a temporal millennium, a thousand years in which all are to prepare for eternity. He tells us that as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be when the Son of man comes again" E.G. White.
Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noe,[Noah] so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."
Luke 17:28 "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;"
Note: To whom should we obey? GOD or Men? Who can save men?
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY: P. 588,589. "Papists, Protestants, and the worldlings alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see this union as a grand movement for the conversion of the world, and the ushering in the long expected millennium.
NOTE: ever hear of the Ecumenical movement? Where all earths religions are good and truth? Thus all are rushing back to the Mother church, in Rome?
Revelation 18:7-11 "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: "
John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
Revelation 18:1-4 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
NOTE: Why should this passage be of such great importance?
Matthew 7:19-23 "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity"
NOTE: INIQUITY means Lawlessness. What LAW? God's Ten Commandments specifically the the 4th.
Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Note: If this troubles you, look at your calendar, and make note of which day is the seventh Day! Again can man save himself and or YOU? Please, also make note that Rome removed the 2ND, the one about cared images, and then, split the 10th into two parts! It's all about The traditions of men..----
..Mark 7:9 "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
Traditions, no matter how old, or from how esteemed the men,.. age---- can NOT turn a lie, of men, into the truth of God!
Mark 7:13 " Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."
NOTE Sunday sacredness has been Rome's doctrine since 321 A.D. yet time has not turned this lie into God's truth!
Mark 2:27 "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: "
NOTE: did YOU read the word JEW in this verse? No it was made for mankind all of mankind! WHY?
Matthew 12:8 "For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."
Isaiah 58:13 "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, Honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:"
Note: All I can do is to show you HIS WAYS, but His gift to all is our Free-will, to chose or to reject Him, right?, but know this one THING, HE is the LIFE, thus rejecting Him is to reject life! Simple is it not?
Thus dear reader, the long and the short of it all is this: The Bible is correct, many men are wrong!
"ll shall be tested, fore that is the purpose of our life-spans in these flesh bodies! Those who turn from the Holy Bible's truth to fables of Satan and men, can look for no second probation, in point of fact at Christ return they all shall perish!
Revelation 20:1-6 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Note: would reason dictate to Y O U, that referring to the First Resurrection, of the just, there just may be a SECOND resurrection for the unjust at that time? All this during the 1,000 year time span!
Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
Note: Men to die but once? BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT! Will they not also be resurrected? How can judgments be given to the dead? Even men will tell their condemned people of the charges against them, most of the time right? God will do no less!
Revelation 2:11 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
Matthew 3:10 "And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Matthew 13:50 "And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth"
Note: Are the people in the last verse dead or still living? LIVING! Including satan and all his servants, and the false teachers!
How do we know this is factual? Are Y O U willing to take Christ's own words?
John 14:1-4 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. 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. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."
Then a 1,000 years pass----
Revelation 21:1-4 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
NOTE: does the following verse NOW make more sense?------
Matthew 5:5 " Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
NOTE Christ DOES NOT return for the SECOND ADVENT, to set up His kingdom on earth, for another 1,000 years, in the which God allows the saints to review all the records, and ask why so and is here, and not so and so!
Satan's lies as inaccurate as Evolution and Climate chance, has been two of the greatest lies in the last 75 years!
Note: Satan is all about the destruction of your chance at eternal life, because he knows he is terminal! And the only way he has to Hurt Jesus, is to kill your chance for eternal life! The one way he has foisted this farce upon the world is by this Second change of the false millennium doctrine, which says, "If we believe, and if I am not saved at Jesus' return, why I'll have a better chance at eternal life when He returns as the world's teacher for the 1,000 years!
Matthew 24:29 " Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"
Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"
Note: The timeline? Right after the 7th Trumpet call which is Christ's 2nd advent, Satan will have none to deceive, as all the Just are with Jesus, for the 1,000 years and all the unjust have perished, thus no sun ,nor moon therefore it shall be at 450 degrees below ZERO, but even this doesn't change Satan's mind!
Note: ALL who read this must know these verses:
Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
Satan's greatest hate is for God's Law, so why would he speak to it, and about it?. Due to this one word FULFILL! Satan will speak to it as to mean completed or ended and thereby use Sunday as our day to worship[ him-Satan}
However, contrary to the hoped for beliefs of many, Jesus accomplished His mission to end the law and usher in the Kingdom of grace, and love.[ if we obey by God;s Grace and love all the Law, we shall not then be under its condemnations, right?] Satan will no doubt use these words-----
Matthew 22:36-40 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets"
Then Satan will add a new Commandment, worship on Sunday.However please know the meaning of the word Fulfill, from the Greek "Pleroo", 4137 to accomplish, to perfect, to fill up to the full!
Thoughts From the mount of Blessings, pp.49-50 E.G White.
"Speaking of the law, Jesus said 'I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." He used the very same word "fulfill-Pleroo" in the same sense as when He declared to John the Baptist His purpose to "fulfill all righteousness" [Matthew 3:15] ; that is, to fill up the measure of the law's requirements, to give an example of perfect conformity to the will of God, The Father. His mission was to :Magnify the law, make it honorable."
Isaiah 42:21 "The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable."
NOTE: How can we have righteousness, and honor if there is no law as s foundation of actions? Without law there can be no freedom!
Jesus was to show us the Spirit of the Law, not just its words! Thus-----
Matthew 5:21-22 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, [ you fool] shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
Matthew 5:27-28 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
Note: in all honesty I have been guilty of this, how about you? He meant to make the Law spiritual in nature, to present its farther reaching principles, and thus make plain its eternal obligations. Christ did all this and fulfilled and established all righteousness, and not end it, at His Baptism. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus fulfilled and Honorers God's Law. He fulfilled the the prophecy of Isaiah 42:21 [above] .
Yet in the very next sentence must destroy any and all thoughts that He cane to end God's Law as so many, sadly teach, "We are not under the Law but under Grace" If this is your doctrine, I ask Y O U, is now OK to steal, to lie, to kill and to take another's man's wife? And why NOT?
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Note: a Jot is the very smallest letter of the Greek alphabet with our letter i, Thus NOTHING will be removed from God's Law, ever, period!Title is as, the cross of a "T"
Note Of all the Ten Laws, the first 4 Dictates to whom our worships should be directed to, God!The last 6 show us how we should interact with others in the human race!
Yet the FOURTH LAW is the PI VITAL ONE! WHY?
Ever see a official document, one that has been Notarized? What three elements MUST be seen within this seal of Office, even from the president down to your local Office of the Notary?
!. A NAME.----------------- John Q. Public
2. THE OFFICE HELD Public Notary
3. THE REGION OF GOVERNANCE. City of, or county of.....
Well look------
Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
NAME: LORD
OFFICE: THY GOD
REGION OF GOVERNANCE: Heaven and earth.
Yes, It is said by many that this is reading into it more than is there, but you say?
Matthew 5:41 "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain."
Note: By Roman law, a soldier, can ask any man to carry his stuff, Jesus said take his load yet another mile.
The worldly will to secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to Sunday laws, to those who demand it, {The Pope is now on record since the Meeting in Paris in 2016 Climate Change, calling for all the world to observe Sunday not only as a worship day, but a for a day of rest for earth! Shades of Mother Earth?]
"Howe ever all those who revere God as their creator, will not bow to this Sunday worships.On this battle will stand or fall as the last great conflict between truth and error. Today as in the days of Esther and Mordicai, The Lord will vindicate HIS TRUTH and HIS PEOPLE!Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Now, to me this is one of the dire warnings possible----
Matthew 7:21-23 " Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Note: inquiry---- MEANS lawlessness, breaking God's Law mainly the 2 and the 4th!
Note: To all who question that Satan can not work miracles, who do YOU think makes all those wispy smoky imagines of Mary all around the world? Who do you think makes all the carved stone and wood images bleed pure blood or 100% OLIVE oil? Or even paintings? Or all the Stigmatic people, that keep on bleeding in spots, that Christ bled,? Who indeed but Satan?

Romans 1:25 :Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
Note: Does this not show most of Christendom today! With all their Spiritisms, Occultists, and outright Satanism worship, just look at the flashed signs of so many "Stars" today! Yet look at all that have now passed on, and think if you are still able!
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
