^ Here's a post I made in the past, on this Subject currently under discussion:
[quoting old post]
Okay, but I was speaking
specifically of the verses Isaiah 24:
21-22a with Revelation 19:19,
21 / 16:14-16 / 20:5 [/ His Second Coming
to the earth]"
So, ^ in Revelation 19:
21a (one of the verses I pointed out) it says "and the remnant were
SLAIN" (i.e. they DIE). This is what verse 22 means in Isaiah 24 where it says [
see verse 22]:
The remnant is the ones that took the mark of the Beast, They are the ones that are alive and lost at YESUAH second coming, they will be slain by the Brightness of YESUAH Coming, the BIBLE SAYS that they will be food for the birds, the BIBLE SAYS,
Isaiah 24 -
21
In that day the LORD
will punish
the host of heaven above,
and the kings of the earth below. [<--COMPARE with Revelation 19:19,
21 / 16:14-16 / 20:5 (
at His 2nd Coming to the earth)]
These are not in Heaven, These are the angels that was cast out with Satan, they are here on Earth, and will be destroyed with ALL the lost, from the beginning of earth to the end of the earth.
22
They will be gathered together
like prisoners in a pit.
They will be confined to a dungeon They are DEAD, the dungeon is that they are in is death .
ECC 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun.
This is distinct from what Revelation 20:11-15 says specifically, that "
and death and hades delivered [/gave] up the dead" (v.13).
This is at YESUAH 3rd Coming, when New Jerusalem comes down from GOD out of HEAVEN, after the !000 years
The
"pit" is not "the lake of fire," see.
(the "pit" is equivalent to "death [
and/or] the grave," see).
This is when YESUAH destroys the wicked at HIS second coming with the brightness of HIS coming, And takes all of HIS saints TO Heaven for the 1000 years, And the earth will be without form and void and on sun for the 1000 years years GOD people are in HEAVEN,
NOTICE that this will not be A full end of the Earth,
4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
4:21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
4:22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
4:25 I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger.
4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
4:29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
"But the rest of the dead lived not again
UNTIL,"... see
[they go to or remain in the "pit" ('
death and/or the grave')
UNTIL... Until the
SECOND of the
TWO "PUNISH" words, the one in Isaiah 24:
22b ("and AFTER MANY DAYS shall they be PUNISHED" [
= the
later GWTj point in time, Rev20:11-15] )]
This is ALL the LOST that are dead from the beginning to the END of the earth, That will be resurrected when the New Jerusalem, Comes DOWN from GOD out of Heaven, With the saints in it, all the lost will be resurrected And will surround the city, AND GOD will rain down fire from GOD out of Heaven And punish them for their sins, and Satan and all HIS fallen Angels, with all the lost and will bring them to ashes upon the ground, And the saints will tread down their ashes after they have burnt up,
MAL 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.
Re: "the pit" and "the grave" (basically meaning
"death"... not that someone's BODY
necessarily had to have been "buried" in the ground! [see again the word
"SLAIN" in Rev19:
21]--recall the verse,
Lk12:20, "20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night
thy soul shall be required of thee:
then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?"--means the person
DIED but doesn't really speak as to "what has happened to the person's
BODY"... coz that's not what the Subject is
centered on, here [it is basically
irrelevant to what is being talked about there, in that verse])
This great is time, YESUAH was just looking in the future, while they are being punish
Isaiah 38:18 -
"For
the grave cannot praise thee,
death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into
the pit cannot hope for thy truth."
ECC 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun.
Ezekiel 28:8 -
"They shall bring thee down to
the pit, and thou shalt
die the deaths of them that are
slain in the midst of the seas."
This is Satan being destroyed with all the lost, Water = A lot of people in the BIBLE and in prophecy
Ezekiel 31:14 -
"[...]: for they are all delivered
unto death, to
the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to
the pit."
This is the LOST again
[I see this also as equivalent to the phrase "cast into outer darkness" which will take place at the time of His Second Coming
to the earth, in that, those to whom this phrase pertains will NOT be entering the promised and prophesied
earthly Millennial Kingdom (aka 'the age [singular] to come') to enjoy it]
THE 1000 years will be in heaven, all the lost are dead, no one is alive on the earth, But Satan and HIS devils,
The chain is that there are no one on earth to temp or try to get them to sin. For all the lost is dead, And all the saved is in Heaven.
GOD bless as GOD sees GOOD for you All
