My response was to your previous note, which referred to
Revelation 11 as being with respect to the past, for which
Revelation 11:18 is clearly not.
are you sure? Revelation 11:18 "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
"
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come". happen already. this is the beginning of the END of sin rule in this world., for the LORD GOD reigns, for he has OVERCOME THE WORLD. he was DEAD, but now LIVES, and his wrath has come.? yes, Psalms 110:1 "A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool." this started after his resurrection, past. Psalms 110:5 "The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings
in the day of his wrath. "Psalms 110:6 "
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies;
he shall wound the heads over many countries."
Psalms 99:1 "The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.". the MOVEMENT of Christianity over the EARTH. yes, many are angry, and even NOW, (smile)
Psalms 2:1 "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" Psalms 2:2 "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying," Psalms 2:3 "Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us." Psalms 2:4 "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." Psalms 2:5 "
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure."
Speak to them, in his wrath? yes, the GOOD NEWS, the Gospel, in a dying world that is in massive trouble, or tribulation. supportive scripture. , Revelation 1:9 "I John, who also am your brother,
and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." this is too easy/
"
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged". DEAD in Sins and trespasses. LISTEN and LEARN, Acts 17:30 "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:" Acts 17:31 "Because he hath appointed a day,
in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath
raised him from the dead." BINGO, this is just too easy.
"
and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great"
first Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:"Joel 2:29 "And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.", the reward is the PROMISE of the Holy Spirit who SEALS us unto Salvation, and give/reward us with his GIFTS
"
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.". destroy here means to corrupt, or ruin. Revelation 19:2 "For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore,
which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"
PAST, PAST. also how do 101G know this also, for the two witnesses were the Lord Jesus and John the Baptist, already happen. this is just too easy/
101G.
