THEME: "BUY OF ME" - Are you a bankrupt church? Rev 3:18, "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; & anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. "You need to invest with the Lord Jesus Christ. Gold refined in the fire, that you maybe rich, White garment, that you maybe clothed, and Anoint your eyes with Eyesalve, that you may see.
KEY VERSES: Joel 2:28, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons & your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:"
Rev 19:11&14, "And I saw heaven opened, & behold a white horse; & he that sat upon him was called Faithful & True, & in righteousness he doth judge & make war. V-14, And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." LESSON-3: "THREE DYNAMICS OF I WILL" - I WILL pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, I WILL build my church, and I WILL come again. Is our generation will witness all of these signs?
I. INTRODUCTION:
The physical deliverance & spiritual renewal for Israel, & the wonderful promises that God made for His people was written in the Book of Joel. It will come into full effect at the end of the tribulation. That is the future time of Jacob's trouble. For in that day, God will truly pour out His spirit on all flesh, as they will exercise many prophetic gifts & God will replace their hardened hearts of stone, with sof- tened hearts of flesh.
II. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSS:
A. LATTER DAYS OUTPOURING. The key to revival is with sacrifice of long prayer sessions. OBJECTIVE: To examine the era of the last days when a Pentecostal revival began with a glorious outpouring at the dawn of the 20th century. As the century progressed, the revival continued to grow in truth & numbers as believers embraced biblical doctrines taught and practiced by the early church.
1. Topeka, Kansas (1901). Charles Parham formed holiness group at Topeka, Kansas. His desire to search the Word and deepen consecration led to the opening of a Bible school, with 40 students joined him to discover more truth.
a) Question arose. Was the Holy Ghost baptism always accompanied by speaking tongues? Was tongues experience still available?
b) Power of prayer. After prayerful study, the group concluded that speaking with other tongues always accompanied the Holy Ghost baptism in the New Testament.
c) For the first time. Before the end of 1900, day & night services were held at the Bible school. They began seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost-expecting to speak with other tongues!
d) Lay of hand. On New Year's Day, 1901, a student Agnes Ozman asked her instructor to lay hands upon her, and she began to speak with other tongues with floods of joy and laughter.
e) A Like experience. Afterward, many had received the same baptism. No two were talking the same language & no one understood the other's speech.
f) Modern Era. It was the first time in the modern church that believers sought to receive the Ho- ly Ghost with the expectation of speaking in other tongues!
g) News spread far. This phenomena spread far and wide. Other towns soon were visited with the Holy Ghost baptism. Then miracles follows healed of blindness, cancer, and other diseases.
2. Azusa Street (1906). W. J. Seymour, black holiness preacher from Houston, was intrigued by this unique spirit outpouring. In 1906, he was invited to hold a meeting in Los Angeles, California.
a) Wave of protest. Seymour preached that speaking in tongue was the gift's scriptural evidence. Protest ignited & in the afternoon service the door was locked. Unique message is unwelcome.
b). On looker. Seymour was homeless and penniless, invited to the home of a sympathetic onloo- ker. After several days of prayer meeting, 6-people were gloriously filled with the Holy Ghost.
c) The city was stirred! As people came, they were captivated by the power & many were healed of terminal diseases. Seymour himself was baptized with the HG on April 1906.
d) Relocation. Soon the great crowds required larger accommodations. Services were moved on Azusa Street, and for 2-years, this two-story frame building housed a mighty revival.
e) No musical instruments. None were needed. Special singers were replaced by what was called the "heavenly choir." Worship was literally Spirit-inspired with bands of angels.
f) Power of prayer. For 3-years, revival continued day and night. The key for the Azusa Street re- vival is prayer. God never sends torrents of blessings without sacrifice, a long prayer sessions.
g) Missionaries. They returned to America to find out, this new experienced of Azusa Street! Be- cause courageous men and women hungered for God, received the message of Pentecost, we now freely enjoy the blessings of this experience!
3. Finished work of Calvary (1911). Another truth was revealed. William Durham discovered that there were not 3-separate works of grace. A common expression in those days was, "I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost.
a) Inward works. Durham advocated salvation to be an inward work; a change of heart; a change of nature. This new illumination began to spread.
b) Rejections. Many churches rejected Durham advocacy. Although they spoke in tongues, they continued to believe in the “three-works of grace."
4. New organization, Assemblies of God (1914). In 1914, E. N. Bell & Howard Goss, issued a call to form an organization teaching the Pentecostal experience. The first General Council of the As- semblies of God convened with Bell as Chairman.
5. Jesus Name baptism & Oneness of God (1913). More light... more truth... more revelation! As filled with the fresh experience of the HG baptism, men began searching the Word with new fer- vor. Whenever sincere hearts seek for God, more scriptural truths have always been revealed.
a) R. E. McAlister. He began studying about NT water baptism. His discovery sent shock waves across the new Pentecostal movement.
b) Baptism in the titles. He pointed out during worldwide camp meeting held in LA in 1913, that nowhere in the NT were believers ever baptized in the titles - Father, Son, & HG.
c) Baptism in Jesus Name. Rediscovering this biblical water baptism formula prompted men to begin studying the Trinitarian theory.
d) One God. Again, the truth that had repeatedly surfaced throughout the past 2k years came into focus: One God has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and HS in re- created human spirits or HS in regeneration.
e) Other Pentecostal. This spiritual illumination resulted in the formation of other Pentecostal or- ganizations: United Pentecostal Church, Pentecostal Asemblies of the World, Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ and other groups.
6. Instruction about gifts of Spirit (1940s). Another wave of the Spirit brought new light concern- ing gifts of the Spirit. Most Spirit-filled believers now had a correct scriptural interpretation of speaking with tongues - one of the first of God's gift.
a) Gateway. But few realized that the Holy Spirit baptism is a gateway into the spiritual heritage of mighty supernatural gifts.
b) In depth study. A continuous study of spiritual gifts was pioneered in the early part of the cen- tury by Howard Carter, an Englishman. Q&A on spiritual gifts was released in 1946.
c) Covet earnestly. Such instruction & practical examples opened the door to this long neglected and misunderstood subject. "Covet earnestly the best gifts" (1Cor 12:31; 14:1).
7. Charismatic movement (1950s). During the 1950s an enormous spiritual tidal wave began to en- velop the religious world. All of Christianity - Catholics & Protestants, felt its dynamic influence.
a) Joel prophesy. The power of the HS began to sweep from one denomination to another, blend- ing true searchers for truth into one body... the body of Christ. Joel prophesied in Joel 2:28.
b) Dark days. Scripture indicates that dark days are ahead for the last generation of the church, as well as the world. Yet Christ has promised continuous victory until the Head is joined with the body of Christ.
B. RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. Occurs as private, quiet event when Christ comes for His Church. OBJECTIVE: To correlate the events of Christ's 2nd return. When He appears in the clouds, living & dead saints rise to meet Him. When He returns with His saints to earth: every eye shall see Him.
1. The rapture of the church. The church has a glorious future with Christ in the heavenliest. This wonderful truth was promised by the Lord at the time of the last Supper in Jhn 14:1-3.
a) Job prophesied, Job 19:25, "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:"
b) Jesus promised, Jhn 14:3, “And if I go & prepare a place for you, I will come again, & re- ceive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Rev 22:7&20, "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the saying of the prophesy of this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus."
c) The Angel testified, Act 1:11, "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
d) Paul said, 1The 4:16&17, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, w/ the voice of the archangel, & with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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."
e) Peter Affirmed, 2Pet 3:3&4, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoff- ers, walking after their own lusts, & saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night..."
f) John Attested, 1Jhn 3:2, "Beloved now are we the sons of God, & it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
g) The Lord Jesus said, Mat 18:16, "...that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word maybe established.
2. A Judgment seat of Christ. The church having escaped the tribulation by means of the Rapture, will then face the judgment seat of Christ.
a) Paul remind us, 2Cor 5:10-11, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whe- ther it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; & I trust also are made manifest in your consciences." 1Cor 3:12-15, "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
b) Christian's final examination. So serious is this judgment, Paul called it "the terror of the Lord." No earthly test has been so absolute, so final as the one determining our future position in the kingdom.
c) How wisely did we spend our time? What were our priorities? Were we a faithful stewards of the talents, time, and blessings entrusted to our care?
d) Did we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Did we strive to become like Christ & to do His will? Were His interests placed ahead of our own?
e) Testing of our works. This judgment will not determine whether we are saved or lost. Calvary and the grace of God have assured our salvation. This is a testing of works to determine the re- ward, position, and rank of every saint in the new administration.
3. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Having assigned each person's reward & place of service in the coming kingdom, the most glorious event of our lives will be consummated:
a) Blessed are they, which are called. Rev 19:7-9, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. & he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they, which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."
b) This is our wedding day! Jesus Christ will be joined with His bride, the church. Because of the "joy that was set before him” (Heb 12:2), He endured the agony of the cross. At last, we shall enjoy His presence - not "through a glass, darkly; but then face to face" (1Cor 13:12).
c) Marriage feast. And then we shall celebrate the marriage feast. What a meal would be approp- riate for glorified, resurrected bodies that no longer require food as fuel?
c-1) Proof, Lke 24:41-43. Jesus proved after His resurrection that He could eat & drink. How- ever, we will be energized by the Spirit.
c-2) Reception. The wedding ceremony in heaven will followed by a thousand-year reception on earth.
4. The Church reign with Christ. While the Bride & the Bridegroom are being united in marriage, the world will be experiencing the worst judgments since the world began. Indeed, if Jesus does not intervene, there will be no one left on earth.
a) Days shortened (Mat 24:22), "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
b) The elect's sake (Isa 45:4), “For Jacob my servant's sake, & Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me."
c) Christ's return is to save Israel (Rom 11:2), "God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying," And set up His kingdom on earth.
d) Church will reign (Rev 19:14-16), "And the armies w/c were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
e) Enoch saw this glorious event (Jde 14, 15). "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, pro- phesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, & to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungod- ly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
f) Jesus gave descriptive view of what will take place at His coming (Mat 24:27-30). "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the com- ing of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, & the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: & then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
g) Similar viewed by John (Rev 1:7), "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”
h) Second phase of His coming. This will follow the rapture of the church by at least 7-years.
C. SECOND PHASE OF CHRIST'S COMING. The revelation transpires as a public spectacle every one on earth will witness.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the greatest conflict in history when armies of the world gather to wage war against Christ in the valley of Armageddon. Returning to earth with His saints, Christ will destroy the armies with violent judgments and set up a new world order at Jerusalem.
1. Nation will gather. Rev 16:12, And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Eu- phrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be pre- pared." All the current global conflicts point to one climax as earth's super powers gather to bat- tle at Armageddon. Zec 14:2, "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle."
a) Battle field. A 14miles x 20miles plain in northern Israel, stretching eastward from Mt Carmel is the space adequate for such a conglomerate of superpowers.
b) The hook. The control of the city of Jerusalem will be the hook that God will use to bring coa- litions of nations against Israel in the last days.
c) Who are these nations that will come against the holy city? (Eze 38:1-6), “And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses & horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great compa- ny with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, & Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, & all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee." Most of this descript- ions fit the northern federation of Russia and her allies.
d) The 10-kingdom federation. Or nations controlled by the Beast will also come. The kings of the east will bring the Asiatic & Oriental people from beyond the Euphrates & arrive by way of the dried riverbed. The king of the south indicated a North African power or group of nat- ions that will join the conflict (Dan 11:40), “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
e) God draws them to Israel. Whether these nations come to take a spoil, or to challenge the con- quests of the Beast as he moves in to take over the Middle East, it's God who draws then to Is- rael. Ultimately their battle is with Him.
f) Satan has in mind for these nations to destroy Israel. And for his man, the Antichrist, to reign as God. God has in mind to destroy the armies along with Antichrist, and to bind Satan in the bottomless pit for a thousand years.
2. Christ second phase return. The climax will come with the return of Jesus Christ back to earth. He will not be alone, but the armies of heaven will be with Him (Zec 14:3-5), "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earth- quake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: & the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee." and (Rev 19:11-16),
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
a) Great destruction. It will come to the Antichrist's armies from the sword proceeding from the mouth of Him seated on the horse.
b) Climatic conflict. It concludes in grand, overwhelming victory as all the forces of evil are qui- ckly subdued by the Lord Jesus and His heavenly hosts.
c) Heavenly hosts? Yes! That includes us! You & I will participate in that great entourage returning with Christ at this climatic moment. Although the Lord doesn't need assistants, from this time forward, we are included in everything He does!
d) Judgment of the 7th vial (Rev 16:17), "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; & there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It's done."
Vial will be pour out upon the earth, particularly on those gathered at Armageddon. e) Indescribable slaughter. The earth will heave, convulsing under the strain of shattering earth- quakes. Mountains will trembles with the thunderous upheaval. Men will run for shelter as the ground gyrates under their feet. The entire landscape will be showered with 100 lbs hailstone, destroying masses of humanity.
f) What has been planned for the Jews? Has God forgotten His covenant with Abraham's desc- endants? Never! He is still the "covenant keeping" God! (Jer 30:6-7), “Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail & all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it."
g) Pitiful wailing. As the Jews contemplate their guilt for rejecting Jesus as Messiah & Savior, a pitiful wailing will be heard (Zec 12:10), “And I will pour upon the house of David, & upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace & of supplications: & they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, & they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
h) In love & mercy. Christ showers the penitent Israelites with a “spirit of grace." As His Word has promised, when His people call upon Him in the day of trouble, He will rescue them! 3. Fowls will eat flesh. When Armageddon's massive troops have been thoroughly defeated, God's scavengers are invited to a royal feast. John described the calamity (Rev 19:17-18), "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
a) A greatest ever. What a banquet for the buzzards! With dead soldiers spread over a 200 miles area, streams of blood will flow as deep as the bridle of a saddled horse (Rev 14:20), “And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." Seven months will be required for burial.
b) It was done. The conflicts end almost as quickly as it begins! Lord spoke... "and it was done."
4. Antichrist & false prophet destroyed; Satan bound 1,000 years. While the fowls are feasting, the Lord takes care of some personal business (Rev 19:20), “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." and (2The 2:8), “And then shall that Wicked be re- vealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"
a) The dragon (Satan). The instigator of man's problems is doomed to a 1000 years prison term (Rev 20:1-3), "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottom- less pit & 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.”
b) Final doom. God is not finished with the devil. His final doom is still a millennium away.
5. Judgment of a living nations. Christ will establish His headquarters in Jerusalem. People of the surviving nations will be summoned for judgment, & those counted as righteous will be assigned places in the new kingdom. The unrighteous will be cast into lake of fire (Mat 25:31-33).
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: & he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
a) The judgment. This scene takes place on earth immediately following the 2nd phase of Christ
coming. Not everyone will die during the time of the great tribulation. Many will live through the judgments, but must still face Jesus Christ.
b) Not the final judgment. It is a judgment that will determine who among the Gentiles will be permitted to live on in the millennial kingdom.
c) Basis of judgment. It will be based on how these people treated the Jews during the time of tribulation. An OT example is in the story of Rahab, a Gentile, who protected the 2-spies sent from Joshua to Jericho.
c-1) Rahab's faith in the God of Israel caused her to protect the spies. "For the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath" (Jos 2:11),
c-2) Israel destroyed Jericho. Rahab and her family were spared (Jos 6:25),
d) A reward. In time of tribulation, as God seeks to re-establish Israel, those who come to her aid in the midst of fierce persecution will be rewarded. Jesus said to the righteous, "I was an hun- gred, and you fed me & gave me drink, as a stranger you took me in and clothed me, cared for me in sickness, & visited me in prison” (Mat 25:35-36). When the righteous reply asking when they did these things, Jesus answer, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Mat 25:40).
e) Jesus brethren. The brethren of Jesus after the flesh. Israel (Heb 2:16-17), "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful & faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of people."
f) Righteous Gentiles. Modern day example. During World War-II, comes out a certain Gentiles in Europe risked their own lives to protect Jews from Hitler's Nazi forces & other enemies. It is estimated that over 100k Jews escaped death as a result of these rescue operations.
f-1) Rescuer's awards. The state of Israel awards a medal entitled: The righteous Gentiles, to those who identified as rescuers.
f-2) A trees. At the Holocaust museum in Israel, there is a special garden called the “Garden of the Righteous." A tree honors each Gentile rescuer.
g) Unrighteous Gentiles. Gentiles who have no mercy on the Jews during the tribulation will go into everlasting punishment.
h) Millennial Kingdom. When Christ begin His millennial reign, the kingdoms of this world will have been subdued. Jesus Christ will reign supreme as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
i) The six dispensation ended. It will be officially ended, & a new one will begin. God's plan for man on this earth will come to completion in the ensuing kingdom age.
III. CONCLUSION: The time of Jacob's trouble (Israel) would be preceded by blood and fire & pillars of smoke - the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon into blood before that great and terrible day of the Lord, when God will pour out His wrath on a Christ-rejecting sinful world. The Gentile will receive God's fierce judgment in that day, when He gathers all nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Six dispen- sation ended and the Seventh dispensation begin (kingdom age).
