| Ω Day of Atonement |
| Blotting out of sin |
| 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." 1Cor.15:55 "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" 1Cor.15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. † Death has power over sin[1] of breaking the commandments.[2] Acts2:24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it. † Without sin, death cannot hold. Rom.6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. Rom.6:5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; Rom.6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. † If we die to sin, we are not held captive by death, so we are resurrected. Rom.1:4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, † A person who proves through his/her resurrection that the commandments are true standards that creatures can keep[3], is called the son of God. Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. † When the resurrected sons of God appear, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, and the commandments stand as the basis of judgment.[4] John12:48 He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day. † Those who forsake the Son and do not receive His words, that is, those who break the commandments and trample upon their neighbors[5], will therefore be judged only after the truthfulness of the commandments has been proved through the resurrection and the transformation. Heb.10:12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Heb.10:13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. † Therefore, the Son awaits to judge until the appointed number of martyr witnesses who will be resurrected or transformed, is completed. Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. Rev.6:10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Rev.6:11 A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course. † Through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses, the possibleness of keeping the commandments, that is, the truthfulness of the commandments, is proved. If the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, even if God judges those who break the commandments, the creatures do not misunderstand God's love and justice. If the commandments stand as the basis of judgment, the act of breaking the commandments is condemned as a sin, and the act of keeping the commandments is recognized as righteousness. The fact that the commandments are righteous does not change whether the creatures acknowledge the fact or not, but if they do not understand the fact, they may misunderstand the love of God who gave them the commandments. Then the 2nd Satan will appear. God has said that He has ordained a sufficient number of martyr witnesses to prove the truthfulness of the commandments. When the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed, God will resurrect or transform them. When the commandments stand as the basis of judgment through the resurrection and the transformation, the judgment for the sin of shedding innocent blood by criminals who trample on their neighbors, begins. Judgment will begin to avenge the saints on the criminals who shed the blood of the saints and to vindicate the saints.[6] That vengeance is the 7 golden bowl plagues.[7] (God will bring complete vengeance for sin by burning sinners in the lake of fire.) 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 1Cor.15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. † When the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed, the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet, is sounded and the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses take place. Rev.8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven for about half an hour. Rev.8:2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Rev.8:3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. Rev.8:4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. † After breaking of the 7th seal, incense is offered on the golden altar which is before the throne. This is to cover the throne with incense[8] before sprinkling blood on the throne of the most holy place and purifying the creation world from sin. The atonement for the tent of meeting and the court, that is, the creation world, begins or is prepared after the breaking of the 7th seal. Although the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement are separated, seeing that the incense for atonement is offered first after the breaking of the 7th seal and then the trumpets are sounded[9], it seems that the atonement has already begun to be prepared at the Feast of Trumpets. Of course, the decisive atonement that perfects the free will of the angels and the resurrected or transformed saints, must be accomplished at the time of the 1st resurrection after the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Atonement is the annihilation of the possibility to sin in the creatures.[10] The possibility to sin remaining in the creatures is annihilated only when they realize God's love and justice and come to love God without doubts.[11] After offering the incense, the tribulation of the 7 trumpets begins on the earth. The 5th trumpet is the 1st woe, the 6th trumpet is the 2nd woe, and the 7th trumpet is the 3rd woe.[12] † Trumpets are sounded as incense for atonement is offered. Each time the trumpets are sounded, 1/3 of the earth is destroyed. When the last trumpet is sounded, the LORD Jesus comes into the air and the firstfruits, the martyr witnesses, are resurrected or transformed.[13] When the resurrection and the transformation occur, the atonement for the true temple begins. In other words, through the resurrection and the transformation, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, the free will of the creatures is perfected, and the commandments stand as the basis of judgment. In the true temple, the possibility to sin disappears.[14] While the true temple is atoned, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth.[15] The whole earth is destroyed by the 7 plagues. After pouring out the 7 plagues, the Son comes even to the earth to judge the beast forces.[16] Atonement is made for Hades, the altar of burnt offering. This concludes the atonement for the creation world.[17] After that, the Son imprisons Satan in the abyss.[18] † The 7th trumpet includes the 7 golden bowl plagues. Considering the incense offering as the beginning of atonement, the atonement on the Day of Atonement includes all the 7 trumpets. The 7th seal includes the 7 trumpets. Therefore, the 7th seal, the 7 trumpets, can be seen as representing the Day of Atonement, and it can also be seen that the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement are included in the 7th seal. It can be said that the Day of Atonement begins with the Feast of Trumpets and ends at the end of the Feast of Trumpets. However, the atonement itself[19] takes place after all the 7 trumpets are sounded.[20] † [Feast of Trumpets + Day of Atonement = 7th Seal ⊇ Atonement ⊃ 7 Golden Trumpets ⊃ 7th Golden Trumpet ⊃ 7 Golden Bowl Plagues] † The Feast of Trumpets is the time when the LORD Jesus comes again and the time when the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed. The Day of Atonement is the time of atonement for the creation world, the time of perfecting the free will of the creatures, and the time of judgment against those who refuse to repent until the end. The Day of Atonement cannot be limited to the resurrection and the transformation. Because the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses perfected the free will of the creatures, especially the angels and the martyr witnesses, and the commandments came to stand as the basis of judgment, the Son sprinkles His blood on His throne of the most holy place, blotting out sins and annihilating the possibility to sin in the creation world on the Day of Atonement. While the Son blots out sins, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth. Therefore, in some ways, it can be said that the Feast of Trumpets to which the 7th trumpet belongs, signifies the 1st resurrection, and the Day of Atonement to which the 7 plagues belong, signifies perfection of the free will. However, since the 1st resurrection occurs only at the 7th trumpet, passing the previous 6 trumpets, and immediately after the sounding of the 7th trumpet, the 7 plagues are poured out, it can be seen that the 7th trumpet and the 7 plagues are attached. Seen in this way, in a broad sense, the Day of Atonement can be called the 1st resurrection. † The martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed meet the LORD Jesus in the air, and the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth while the martyr witnesses are away from the earth.[21] Since the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed will already be clothed with the resurrected or transformed body, even if they are on earth, they will not be affected by the 7 plagues.[22] However, it is written that the martyr witnesses who have been resurrected or transformed will always be with the LORD Jesus.[23] The 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men are expressed as standing on Mount Zion and singing the new song. And the victors who overcame the beast, stand on the sea of glass and sing the song of the Lamb. Judging from this, it is unlikely that the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses will come down to the earth again to stay on the earth after meeting the LORD Jesus in the air. Only after pouring out the 7 plagues, will the Son come even to the earth with His army in fine linen to judge the beast forces.[24] If the soldiers of this heavenly army are the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed, or if this army includes the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed, it is even less likely that the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed will be on the earth during the pouring out of the 7 plagues. Rev.11:14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly. Rev.11:15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!" Rev.11:16 The twenty-four elders, who sit before God's throne on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshiped God, Rev.11:17 saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. Rev.11:18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as the saints, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth." Rev.11:19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed. † When the 7th trumpet is sounded, the 1st resurrection takes place, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, and the commandments stand as the basis of judgment. Since the commandments have been established as the basis for judgment, the ark of the covenant under the throne of the most holy place is visible. Judgment begins against the criminals[35] who broke the commandments and polluted the earth by shedding the blood of the martyr witnesses.[36] † The Son comes into the air and resurrects or transforms the martyr witnesses and catches them up into the air. By atonement for the true temple and Hades, the LORD Jesus perfects the free will of the angels and the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses. In other words, He perfects them[37] into things that can never die again.[38] After pouring out the 7 plagues on the earth, He comes down even to the earth to judge the beast forces and imprison Satan in the abyss. The LORD Jesus burns the 1st heaven and the 1st earth and creates a new heaven and a new earth.[39] The 1000-year reign of the Son begins. 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, 1Thess.4:17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. † The Son comes into the air, sounds the last trumpet, and resurrects or transforms the martyr witnesss and catches them up into the air. All the peoples of the earth will see the LORD Jesus who has come into the air and mourn.[40] Lev.16:14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times. Lev.16:15 "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: Lev.16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. Lev.16:17 There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. † If the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the resurrection and the transformation, Satan's claims are proved false. 'Creatures cannot keep the commandments[41], and the God who forces the creatures to keep the commandments that creatures cannot keep is a liar.[42]' 'The God who kills the creatures because they do not keep the commandments that they cannot keep is a murderer.[43]' 'God is not love and He is not just.[44]' 'The commandments are the Creator's murdering instruments to execute His dictatorship by killing disobedient creatures.' Satan's such evil claims are disproved. † Therefore, the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses who keep the commandments and overcome death, prove the love and justice of God who gave the commandments. Through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses, doubts about God's love and justice disappear. When the creatures fully come to know God's love and justice, they come to love God with all their heart.[45] This is because, in the creation world as it is now[46], there is no creature that can reject the love of the Creator who gave up everything for His creatures.[47] When we come to love God, our free will is perfected and we can no longer sin.[48] The angels of the true temple and the martyr witnesses of Hades are perfected as things that can never die again.[49] In the true temple, there will be no rebellion for eternity. Atonement for the true temple came to be made. Rev.15:7 One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. Rev.15:8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished. † During the atonement for the true temple, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth, and the judgment against the criminals who shed the blood of the martyr witnesses are executed.[50] Lev.17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. † Blood replaces blood and life replaces life. Num.35:33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it. † In order to cleanse the earth defiled by the sin of bloodshed, that is, the sin of breaking the commandments and trampling upon neighbors, the earth must be atoned with the blood of transgressors. Rev.18:20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her." † God judges for the blood of the martyr witnesses who died innocently after the appointed number of martyr witnesses was completed and the 1st resurrection took place. If the appointed number of martyr witnesses[51] are not resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments cannot be proved. If they cannot prove their innocence through their resurrection or transformation, martyr witnesses cannot be recognized as innocent either. Since they are the same criminals, the request to judge other criminals and vindicate their innocent blood must also be false. Can the dead in trampling on their neighbors, ask that the sin of trampling neighbors be judged? (Of course, even if someone kills a sinner, if it is a murder that God does not allow, God will judge the murderer. Even so, the dead sinner cannot cry out to God for judgment.) Only the innocent can overcome death and be resurrected or transformed. Therefore, only after the innocence of the martyr witnesses is proved by their resurrection or transformation, the judgment against the criminals who shed the blood of the martyr witnesses is executed. Even if the criminals are judged for their sins of breaking the commandments, the martyr witnesses can avoid the judgment. Because the LORD Jesus was judged on their behalf. Rev.18:24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth." Rev.19:1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God: Rev.19:2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, her who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." † God reveals His justice by judging criminals who shed the blood of the martyr witnesses. So, during the atonement for the true temple, when no one can enter the true temple, He pours out the judgment of the 7 plagues on Hades, the altar of burnt offering. It means that the judgment on the altar of burnt offering is included in the atonement for the true temple. The atonement for the altar of burnt offering, Hades, takes place after the atonement for the tent of meeting, the true temple. Lev.16:18 "He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about. Lev.16:19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. † After the LORD Jesus atoned for the true temple, the tent of meeting, He atones for Hades, the altar of burnt offering. Just as the high priest who completed the atonement for the tent of meeting in the most holy place came to the courtyard to atone for the altar of burnt offering, the LORD Jesus who made atonement for the true temple in the true most holy place of the heaven of angels, comes down even to the earth to atone for Hades. In other words, the LORD Jesus comes down even to the earth to judge the armies of the beast. This means that the atonement for Hades can be seen as the judgment against the armies of the beast.[52] In this way, the judgment of the 7 plagues against the prostitute is included in the atonement for the true temple[53], and the judgment of the heavenly army against the armies of the beast is included in the atonement for Hades. † The Atonement is annihilating sin.[54] The atonement for the creation world consists in the LORD Jesus' ① annihilating the possibility to sin still remaining in the creatures and ② judging sinners who break the commandments and refuse to stop trampling on their neighbours. ① God must show His love to the creatures[55] in order to annihilate the possibility to sin in them[56], and ② God must show the truthfulness of the commandments to the creatures in order to judge those who break the commandments. God's showing His love to His creatures and the truthfulness of His commandments[57] is fulfilled when the saints who have been forgiven of their sins by the blood of the LORD Jesus, receive God the Holy Spirit[58], and when the saints who have received God the Holy Spirit[59], are resurrected or transformed.[60] Creation is completed by the blood that the LORD Jesus shed on the cross.[61] † Since there is no Satan fraudswarms in the true temple, the atonement to annihilate sin in the true temple requires only the free will of the angels to be perfected. However, the atonement to annihilate sin in Hades must not only perfect the free will of the martyr witnesses who are raised by the 1st resurrection, but also judge the criminals who have defiled Hades by shedding the blood of their neighbors. (Because the 7 plagues are included in the atonement for the temple, there may be a view that the atonement for the temple includes a part of the judgment on the altar of burnt offering, and because the 1st resurrection takes place before the 7 plagues, there may be a view that the perfection of the free will of the martyr witnesses who are raised by the 1st resurrection is included in the atonement for the temple not in the atonement for the altar of burnt offering.) Rev.19:11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. † After the 7th trumpet is sounded, the LORD Jesus who came only to the air, pours out the 7 plagues and comes down even to the earth to judge the criminals who pollute the earth with their bloodshed sins. Rev.19:19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army. Rev.19:20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Rev.19:21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh. † The LORD Jesus throws the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire and kills the criminals. The LORD Jesus comes even to the earth and judges the beast armies in this way to atone for Hades, the altar of burnt offering.[62] I think it is the atonement for Hades. After judging the beast armies, the LORD Jesus imprisons Satan in the abyss. Opinions may differ as to whether the 7 plagues are included in the atonement for the true temple or the atonement for Hades. Anyway, the judgment against the beast armies is definitely after the atonement for the true temple, the tent of meeting, is finished. Also, seeing that the atonement for Hades, the altar of burnt offering, is completed before Azazel Satan is imprisoned in the wilderness abyss[63], it is very likely that the LORD Jesus' judgment against the beast armies is included in the atonement for Hades. Lev.16:20 "When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. Lev.16:21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. Lev.16:22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness. † The Azazel goat symbolizes Satan, and the solitary wilderness symbolizes the abyss. Rev.20:1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. Rev.20:2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, Rev.20:3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time. † After the LORD Jesus came down even to the earth and judged the beasts, He imprisons Satan in the abyss. The reason why the LORD Jesus does not throw Satan into the lake of fire immediately and just imprisons Satan in the abyss for 1000 years, is that because after 1000 years, the LORD Jesus will use Satan to verify the free will of the unverified. 2Pet.3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2Pet.3:11 Therefore since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness, 2Pet.3:12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 2Pet.3:13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness. † I don't know whether the LORD Jesus will burn the 1st heaven and the 1st earth first and then imprison Satan in the abyss, or will He imprison Satan first in the abyss and then burn the 1st heaven and the 1st earth. However, after coming down even to the earth and judging the armies of the beast, the 1st heaven and the 1st earth will be burned, and the new heaven and the new earth, the paradise[64], will appear. When the LORD Jesus comes even to the earth, He throws the sea beast that has taken control over the 1st heaven and the 1st earth and the earth beast, the false prophet, that has decieved people by miracles to make people worship the sea beast, into the lake of fire. One might view this scene as the heavens being burned and elements melting with intense heat.[65] It is the view that the melting of the earth, the 1st heaven and the 1st earth, with intense heat was expressed as the beast being thrown into the lake of fire because the superpower, the sea beast, was taking over the 1st heaven and the 1st earth, that is, the whole world as we understand it. (There may be the view that the beasts thrown into the lake of fire[66] are fallen angels who have taken control of them.[67] This view is that the 1st heaven and the 1st earth are not thrown into the lake of fire, but the fallen angels are thrown into the lake of fire.) † After melting the 1st earth with fire, I don't know whether the LORD Jesus will establish a paradise in the place where the 1st earth was, or form a paradise in a new realm. However, when we see that Satan will deceive the people after 1000 years[68], paradise will be the realm where released Satan can run rampant. Therefore, it is unlikely that paradise will be established in the true temple.[69] There is the new Jerusalem city in paradise, and the tree of life in the new Jerusalem city.[70] But not everyone will be able to enter the new Jerusalem.[71] Is.34:8 For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Is.34:9 The streams of [Edom] shall be turned into pitch, and the dust of it into sulfur, and the land of it shall become burning pitch. Is.34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke of it shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever. † Burning pitch seems to signify the lake of fire[72], and being desolate seems to signify the abyss.[73] The abyss is still in Hades.[74] Hades will eventually be thrown into the lake of fire.[75] Ps.46:6 The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted. Ps.46:7 Yahweh of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Ps.46:8 Come, see Yahweh's works, What desolations he has made in the earth. † It may mean that if the 1st heaven and the 1st earth are melted, it will become desolate. If so, it could mean that Satan will be imprisoned in a place that has been burned and turned into an abyss. Rev.21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. † This sea[76] was Satan's realm.[77] This sea is not the sea of glass.[78] The sea of glass remains until the great white throne judgment.[79] Rev.21:2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. † New Jerusalem is the bride. Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. † The 1000-year kingdom is governed by the commandments. Because the commandments are love[80], there will be no pain on the earth for 1000 years. Is.65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Is.65:18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. Is.65:19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying. Is.65:20 There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. Is.65:21 They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. Is.65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. Is.65:23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Yahweh, and their offspring with them. Is.65:24 It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Is.65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yahweh. † The 1000-year kingdom that will be a happy world, is a world for the martyr witnesses.[81] It is a reward for the hardships they had to endure in the 1st earth[82] to achieve the atonement for the creation world.[83] |

[10] Song8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends
[11] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake. The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death. Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
Rev.9:1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
[33] Rev.12:13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
