7. The Work at the Judgement period

First: The Salvation (Revelation 15:2~4)

This salvation does not indicate the salvation of the spirit from sin, yet it is the salvation from plagues of Judgement which exterminates all sinners on the earth. This Judgement will come upon those who receive the mark of the beast and worship the image of the beast as in Revelation Chapter 16.

In the second three and a half years, when the power of the beast rules over the world for 42 months as in Chapter 13, there is the tribulation in which no one might buy or sell except the one who has the mark and as many as do not worship the image of the beast must be killed. At that time, all who receive the mark of the beast and worship the image of the beast will fall in the plagues of Judgement, but on the other hand, those having not received the mark of the beast nor worshiped the idol and being nourished in the prepared place will be saved.

(1) The salvation at the seacoast

At now, it is the time to preach the gospel to save sinners, so the righteous and the sinners are living mixed. On the contrary, the tribulation period is not the time to preach the gospel but to destroy all human races, so only those trying to keep the faith in the tribulation will be protected and nourished.

This purposes to bring the salvation from plagues of Judgment that exterminates all people on the earth. After the second coming of the Lord, the Kingdom on the earth will be fulfilled by the salvation through the protection and the nourishment on His chosen people, and this salvation indicates the collective protection and the collective salvation.

The prepared place will not be among the sinful world, but the new land will emerge from the middle of the ocean and on that land people will be saved collectively.

Psalms 66:1 and following verses say “Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. Say to God, ‘How awesome are Thy works! Because of the greatness of Thy power Thine enemies will give feigned obedience to Thee. All the earth will worship Thee, And will sing praises to Thee; They will sing praises to Thy name. Selah. Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him! He rules by His might forever.’”

Zephaniah 1:2 and following verses say “‘I will completely remove all things From the face of the earth,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will remove man and beast; I will remove the birds of the sky And the fish of the sea, And the ruins along with the wicked; And I will cut off man from the face of the earth.’” Also verse 18 says “Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord's wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth,” and verse 3 in Chapter 2 says “Seek the LORD, All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the Lord's anger.”

Verse 6 says “So the seacoast will be pastures, With caves for shepherds and folds for flocks,” and verse 11 says “The LORD will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.”

In the same way, Revelation 15:2 and following verses say “And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come off victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God. And they sang the song of Moses the bond-servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, ‘Great and marvelous are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Thy ways, Thou King of the nations.’”

At this time, the plagues of Judgement will come upon the earth so that all mankind may be annihilated as in Revelation Chapters 16 to 19. All prophets purposed to show that when the whole world is burned by fire, the children of God will be saved and enter New Era. Therefore, the Word of God doesn’t say that the salvation of the spirit is the perfect salvation. Rather, it teaches us the salvation at the time when all mankind is burned by fire in one hour, that is, the salvation of the people who will be saved and enter New Era as citizens.

(2) New Era comes through New Things that the LORD performs

In Isaiah 43:19, the LORD says “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth,” and He also says that He will fulfill the new earth where His people will enjoy the blessing.

The object of the Prophets is the blessing of the new earth and those who will enter are the remnant people from every nation, and they will be citizens in the Kingdom of saints.

Until today, the rebirth of one’s spirit for the Heavenly Kingdom has been the main purpose. However, at the end of man, the LORD will do New Things and the Kingdom of peace will come on the earth. God has established the covenant through which He wants to give man again the earthly blessing that was once given in Eden.

The rebirth, that delivers the spirits from the authority of death through the cross and the resurrection, has been given to all nation. At the end of man, New Era will come after the restoration of this cursed earth. The servants, who have been laying down their life as martyrs to save the dead spirits and to preach the gospel, will resurrect. And the other servants, who will remain until the second coming of the Lord, will preach the gospel that saves the chosen people from the tribulation. The gospel they will preach is not about the Heavenly Kingdom, but they will prophecy again what God preached to His servants the prophets as in Revelation 10:7.

The gospel that God revealed to His prophets is the gospel that will bring the salvation from the plagues of Judgement that exterminates all mankind after the second coming of the Lord. To be specific, the gospel of the Heavenly Kingdom is the gospel preached during the days for the testimony of Christ’s cross (Matthew 24:14), and afterwards the gospel to fulfill New Era according to the Books of Prophets must be preached. The worldwide Judgement and salvation don’t indicate the individual salvation, but the salvation at the time of the LORD’s New Things.

Regarding the Work of His Son, the LORD spoke in Isaiah 42:4 “the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law,” and regarding the Work of the Holy Spirit, the LORD said in Joel 2:28 “And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.”

These things do not need detail description because the Works of the Son and the Spirit are done by the perfect divinity. Rather, they are just briefly described because these Works are not by the Father’s own but by the Son and the Spirit, who the Father sent to the world. The Work, that saves the people of God and gives the new blessing in the newly restored earth, will be done by the Father so it is logically described in detail. (Isaiah 34:16)

(3) Avenging the grudge of the chosen ones (Luke 18:7~8)

Cain murdered Abel who was offering a righteous sacrifice. Abel’s death was totally unjust and was not because of his sin. Since Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, their nature became depraved and their depraved flesh gave birth of its first fruit, Cain. The death of Abel shall be avenged by God because he was killed by Cain, not by Adam and Eve who ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

Since then, there have been the ones victimized for the sake of God’s Will. Their grudge is to be avenged not by being at Paradise after death, but by the annihilation of all evil power on the earth.

Revelation 18:20 and 19:2 say that God’s righteous Judgement is the revenge over the enemy. To fulfill the eternal Kingdom where the victimized ones will inherit the glory, the avenge for their grudge is being refrained so far. The law of God is to give the kingship to those unjustly victimized.

If a man obeys God’s Will despite of any unjustness, he deserves God’s revenge. The reason God allows the power of the devil is to fulfill the Kingdom where God will share His glory with those obedient despite of unjustness. Adam and Eve were deceived and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, so all things were cursed and the world became sinful.

God’s purpose of Creation and His revenge for the grudge of all saints will be fulfilled solely by the establishment of the new Kingdom through the obedient and faithful servants who are given the kingship over the world. The love of God which saves depraved men and the love of saints who have been faithful until death will join together and fulfill the Kingdom of perfect victory, and that day is when the grudge of the chosen ones will be avenged.

Second: The judges are the saints

The saints here indicate the transfigured saints, not the resurrected saints. The transfigured saints are the warriors who fight the false prophets with the Word of prophecy until the second coming of the Lord. They, holding the truth of the plumb line, testify the gospel even to the antichrist nation, saying that if anyone is given the mark of the beast and worships the beast, he will perish in the day of Judgement.

Their fight is not caused by their own initiative, and they testify that the target of Judgement is, according to God’s Word, the northern treacherous regime and its tool, the false prophet and that people should not be deceived by them. Unless they are given the authority, they can’t testify this truth until the second coming of the Lord, because the beast and the false prophet desire to unify the world through their political power and denominational hegemony.

They possess the political power, the denominational hegemony, and the economic power, and they rise up with the authority of devil, so no one can preach the gospel except the servants of the authority to smite the earth with plagues.

Only the transfigured saints, who are to be the remnant servants until the second coming of the Lord, can conquer the antichrist nation and deliver the chosen people from there. Therefore, at the moment for their ascending, there simultaneously will be the resurrection of the martyrs. They altogether will be transfigured and ascend up to before the Throne and constitute the organization of the Kingdom according to the works they have done. (Revelation 22:12, Matthew 25:21~23, Luke 19:17~19)

Meanwhile, the chosen people will be nourished in the prepared place during the great tribulation as the transfigured saints have preached, and they as the citizens will enter the Kingdom, the unified world that will be fulfilled after the descent on Mount Zion. On the contrary, the world, which rely on the power of the beast and behave like the harlot, will be burned up with fire by the beast. (Revelation 17:16) Following is how the beast will destroy the world that is like the harlot.

(1) The beast will stir up the locusts to wage war in middle East Asia.

In Revelation Chapter 9, the fallen star indicates the treacherous regime, and the locusts coming out of the smoke are the tool of devilish thought. Therefore, the five-month tribulation will be caused through the locusts. Revelation 9:15 and following verses show that the severe war will occur in middle East, and Revelation 13:15 and following verses show that the false prophet causes all to be given the mark of the beast and to worship the beast.

To be specific, the war waged in middle East will be caused by the riot of the locusts. And during the second three and a half years, every nation will be given the mark because God will forsake the world and protect only the prepared place so that people outside the prepared place may be harmed by the false prophet. But when the Lord will descend to the earth like a thief with the transfigured saints, He will annihilate the force of the beast. (Revelation 16:12~16)

(2) At this time, God will provoke the beast to be frantic to burn the world up, so the world will be burned in one hour. (Revelation 17:16~18, 18:9~10)

Nevertheless, the force of the beast will make war against the army upon the white horse. The force of the beast will prepare scientific way to avoid fire and burn up the world frantically. The transfigured saints will not be harmed by the fire due to their spiritual body, and the people of the Lord will gather at the new land along the seacoast and flee the fire under the protection of God. At this time, the transfigured saints, as the army upon the white horse, will destroy the force of the beast, and then the world will turn to the Kingdom of perfect peace. (Revelation 19:11~21)

Third: The marriage of the Lamb has come (Revelation 19:6~9)

The responsibility to destroy the force of the beast is entitled to the transfigured saints. Yet into the marriage of the Lamb they will attend together with the resurrected saints, and through this the peaceful Kingdom of the great victory will be fulfilled. That is to say, the mission of the transfigured saints is to be the army to avenge the blood, and the martyrs will praise and say Hallelujah due to the perfect victory of the transfigured saints. (Revelation 19:1~2)

It means that as the fruit of the prayer of the resurrected saints, the transfigured saints will be the army to avenge their blood. (Revelation 6:9~11) What the martyrs have been urging for is the revenge of their blood. Therefore, the Lord told them that they should rest for a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be completed; it indicates the mission of the end.

This Judgement is the last war to avenge the blood which has been shed from Abel, who Cain unjustly killed, to the saints at the end; this is called Armageddon. The judgement at the time of Noah was the antitype of Judgement to come at the end. To fulfill the perfect New Era, first the world must be burned up by fire.

Fourth: The victory of angels (Revelation 20:1~3)

The work of the angels is to lay hold of the dragon and throw him into the bottomless pit. The dragon is the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan. Since the craftiest and old serpent’s victory against man, his force has developed greatly, becoming the dragon, the devil, and Satan. When God created the crafty serpent, He allowed him the ability to freely deceive man, so that God would select those faithful and sincere, with whom He will fulfill the Kingdom. At the time of the war before the perfect Kingdom, the devil gives his authority to the beast (Revelation 13:2~4) and the heavenly angels help those fighting against the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. This is the way to select and make remnant only those obedient to the Word of God. Therefore, after the last war when the angels throw the force of the devil, the world will have the perfect peace.

God establishes laws and He commands man to keep them, and also He commands the devil to deceive man while the angels are ordered to help those fighting for the law. In this way, God fulfills the Kingdom on the earth with those who fight for His law.
