10_06 The Last Trumpet

The final document of the seminars, 10_06, is called, appropriately, the Last Trumpet. The seven Trumpets will sound. They warn, and they announce. To the wicked, they warn that these Judgments are leading up to the final “Day of Atonement” when the decree will go forth that the door of probation has closed! The final Trumpet announces the end of the Great Controversy between good and evil. Probation has closed. God will now deliver His people by the Seven Last Plagues. He will destroy Great Babylon! Jesus Himself is Coming!! Beware of the counterfeit!

Lo, this is our God: we have waited for Him, and He will save us! This is the Lord: we have waited For Him! We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation! Isaiah 25:9.

You will now have completed this educational seminar series. Whether you receive an “A” from God when the tests come, will depend on you repeatedly studying the material to make it your own. When you, and thousands of others, world-wide, know your MESSAGES, the Latter Rain will be poured out on you, so that you will have power from Holy Spirit to “prepare the Way of the Lord!” Holy Spirit  will not be poured out until we know our Messages, for it is to give power to the Messages! See Early Writings, p. 86.

The Last Trumpet

The Bible teaches that there will be more than one resurrection from the dead. These resurrections occur at different points in time, and encompass different groups of people. The book of Revelation makes clear the time-frame of each resurrection.

Notice what John records in Revelation 20, verse 6: “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” The first resurrection is a resurrection to immortality, and occurs before the Millennium – the 1000-year reign of Christ and the saints in heaven, not on earth. [Remember John 14:1 – 3]. The Apostle Paul described this event to the Corinthian church, telling them that it would occur “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 shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (I Corinthians 15:52, 53).

What is the last trumpet? The book of Revelation describes a series of seven supernatural trumpets to be sounded at the end time. These trumpet blasts signal the intervention of Almighty God [against “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders” -2 Thessalonians 2, v. 9].

These trumpets also herald His judgments on a rebellious world. Revelation 8 records the blowing of the first four of these angelic trumpets and the terrible-beyond-imagination natural disasters that follow each blast. Revelation 9 tells of the blowing of the fifth and sixth trumpets and of the warfare and destruction that follow those blasts.

In Revelation 11, v.15 we read: “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!’” The seventh and final trumpet heralds the return of Jesus Christ, and the resurrection of the righteous dead.
Paul emphasized this in I Thessalonians 4:16: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump [Trumpet] of God [see Exodus 19, v.16 and 19 – the powerful Trumpet blast announcement of God’s arrival!] and the dead in Christ will rise first.” In the following verses, he explained that Christians still living at the time of this awesome event would also be changed to immortality, and would rise up to meet Christ [in the sky] with the resurrected saints, to go with Jesus to heaven. [John 14:1 – 3]

This first resurrection is one to glory and immortality, and consists only of those who are Christ’s. Hebrews 11:35 calls this the “better resurrection.” Revelation 20, verse 5, makes plain that the rest of the dead – those who were not in the first resurrection – do not live again until the conclusion of the millennial reign of Christ and the saints [preparing the judgments against those who rejected Jesus and the gospel.- see 1 Corinthians 6, vs. 2 and 3; John 5:29].

An extra subject: The Trap of Ecumenism.

In January 2002, John Paul II hosted a historic gathering of leaders representing the major religions of the world in the Italian town of Assisi, birthplace of the medieval monk known as Saint Francis. As they prayed together, the pontiff urged religious leaders to condemn violence and war and work in unity to promote peace. Ironically, at the close of the remarkable ecumenical decade of the 1990’s, the Vatican office in charge of doctrine issued an official document declaring that the Catholic faith is the sole path to salvation; that non-Christian faiths are “gravely deficient” in their beliefs; that Protestant churches are not “sister churches;” and, that “the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church [Rome] is not sister, but MOTHER [my emphasis] of all of the particular [Christian] churches” (Los Angeles Times, Sept. 6, 2000).

In a remarkable prophecy given more than 2700 years ago, the prophet Isaiah describes the judgment of a mysterious woman called a “daughter of Babylon…the Lady of Kingdoms” who says in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” (i.e., that she is the one true church – in Bible prophecy a woman symbolizes a church). “I shall not sit a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children” (Isaiah 47, verses 1-11). She is making an effort to regain her lost or separated children (daughters). See Rev. 17:5.

But Isaiah’s prophecy says, “But these two things shall come to thee, in a moment, in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood.” (v.9.)

A “widow?” “…none shall save thee.” – no husband/protector – Isaiah 47:15, compare with Daniel 11, v. 45, and Revelation 18, vs. 7 and 8, and the rest of the chapter.

Judgment is coming. Know your Message – Rev.14:6-12, and proclaim its warnings!
