Matthew 25 Rapture Blog

Ezekiel 26:1- 28:10 describes the merchant trade of Tyre on the Phoenician coast, Also described is the ruler of Tyre, who through his business of trade became a powerful wealthy man whos influence reached into many nations.
Ezekiel 28:11-19 This description of the “king” of Tyre -Satan-points to the spiritual nature that motivated the earthly human ruler-king of Tyre (Eze 26:1-28:10).

vs 12 You had the seal of perfection full of wisdom and perfect in beauty–Day Star (Satan) had Gods full measure of wisdom and beauty. He had full access to the plan of God for human history (will be explained shortly)
vs 13 You were in Eden the Garden of God. This is not the same(planted) Eden that Adam and Eve were in.
vs 13 Every precious stone was your covering (3 sets of 3) This describes the covering of a High Priest. This is similar the breastplate of the Urim and Thummim (4 sets of 3).
vs 13 Gold Tamborines and flutes, which through his full wisdom naturally led the worship in Heaven. -After the fall- Music can move ones soul away from God or towards God.
vs 13 On the day you were created they were prepared- (the stones and instraments)- God intended these positions of authority for him.
vs 14 You were the anointed (Messiah) Cherub who covers, and I placed you there. – The Day Star had a unique position he guarded the access to Gods throne and was the highest ranked of all the Hosts of heaven.
vs 14 You were on the Holy Mountain of God- Mountain in a symbolic position refers to a kingdom or throne.
vs 14 You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.- the purity of Gods creation at that point exuded light and it refers to his motion of going “to and fro” (job 1:7)
vs 15 You were blameless in your way from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.-The angelic host was created with the power of contrary choice 1 Tim 3:6 At this point the Day Star turned into Satan- (the Destroyer) by his unrighteous deeds.
vs 16 By the abundance of your trade. – the trade spoken of here in the Hebrew is that of Gossip and Slander- Satan passed around -The Lie- that God was keeping the angels from becoming “like God”
vs 16 You were internally filled with violence and you sinned. This internal violence led to the revolt in heaven.
vs 16 Therefore I have cast you as profane from the Mountain of God and have desroyed you O covering cherub from the midst of the stones of fire.- Satan had made the choice to reject righteousness, that choice caused him to forever lose his position in Gods Kingdom, He now was sealed forever apart from Gods Joy.
vs 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. – In vain self exaultation at his God given beauty he became arrogant.
vs 17 You corrupted you wisdom by reason of your splendor. – His wisdom was corrupted by his full sum of Godly knowledge- he aspired to be god and became unrighteous.
vs 17 I cast you to the ground.- Luke 10:18
vs 17 I put you before kings that they may see you. – this passage is a prophecy that will be fulfilled when Satan is bound along with all those rulers of the earth who he decieved Rev 20:1-3 & 7-10
vs 18 By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade, You prophaned your sanctuaries.- Sanctuaries are in the plural, Satan not only occupied the Heavenly realmn, He also occupied the pre-human earth Job 38:4-7 His sanctuaries were prophaned.
vs 18 Therefore I have brought fire out from the midst of you. It has consumed you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.- the brilliance that “the Day Star” once had in being Gods choice arch Cherub now will be forever consumed in the Lake of fire for all to see. The works he had done on earth will be as stubble turned to ashes.
vs 19 All who know (as in follow) you among the peoples. are appalled at you. You have become a terror, And you will be no more.- All those who followed in satans rebellion find themselves horrified at what their leader has become. His leadership and pomp will evaporate.

Isaiah 14:12-17
vs 12 How you have fallen from heaven -O star of the morning son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth. You who have weakened the nations. Luke 10:18
There are 5 main views of the Gen 1:1-2- I hold to the Gap theory- that is- Because one of Satans abodes before his fall was the pre-human earth- when he was cast out of heaven to the -Ground- he prophaned his earthly sanctuary (Eze 28:18) Gen 1:1 the heavens and earth are created and in tact John 1:1-3.
Gen 1:2 has three Hebrew words that are critical to understand -Tohu, V-Vohu, V Hochef-Chaos emptiness and darkness (God posseses none of these in His character).
These three words are active judgement language, not passive. Two of these words occur other places in Scripture Isaiah 34:11(edom), Jere 4:23 (Trib) all times these words are used, it is judgement related.
Gen 1:2 is a result of the fall of Satan because floods are consistently connected to judgement Rev21:1.
God then took the disorder of Gen 1:2 and remolded the face of the earth for the habitation of man.

vs 13-14 The 5-” I Wills” of Satan.
I will ascend to heaven- Heaven is Gods abode- Satan desired Gods abode for his own.
I will raise my throne above the stars of God- Stars in symbolic form are angels- Satan wanted to be served by all the angels which again is Gods position.
I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the North – The Mount of assembly is Mt Moriah the New Jerusalem, The Holy of Holies was situated in the north end of the Temple – Satan desires to sit in place of Jesus the Messiah in the Messianic Kingdom and be worshipped by all people.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds – Clouds and fire are manifestations of the Holy Spirit – Satan wanted to rule over the Holy Spirit.
I will make myself like the Most High – Satan wants to be above God the Father.
vs 15 Never the less you will be thrust down to sheol to the recesses of the pit – Satan will be cast to the darkest depth of the pit- rather than being god.
vs 16 Those who see you will gaze at you, They will wonder over you saying, Is this the -man- who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms?- The -man- refers to the antichrist in his attempt to userp Jesus the Messiah- during his 7 year reign of terror.
vs 17 Who made the world like a wilderness and over threw its cities, who did not allow his prisoners to go home. Satan (destroyer) will desroy much before he finally is cast into the Lake of fire.
Satans main goal is to cause people to remain lost from the Salvation Jesus provided, and to cause Believers in Jesus to stumble, and become ineffective for the kingdom of Christ.

Psalm 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Who Will You Spend Eternity With?

Regarding Hell :::: Hell is the only bad decision/choice a person can make in life :::: According to Jesus, Most People make the bad choice — Craziness!!!! If a person really thinks about Hell sincerely for like 5 minutes, Insanity would be the only conclusion that would make sense.

— No Rest Day or Night Forever
— Possibly The Worst smell of Sulfur forever
— Burned in Fire Forever, possibly 2,000 Degree Fire
— Tormented in mind for blowing off God and Jesus and Losing Paradise, Heaven, Royalty, Glory and only left now with Agony and Fear, Torment and Defeat.

And it shall come to pass, that all who call upon the name of The Lord, shall be Saved.

This is from a Friend at Facebook :: This is a really good post about Hell ::

I think it is very important to remember that Hell was not created for man. It was created for the devil and his angels.

From what I have studied, I understand Hell to be a literal place where the forsaken soul who rejected the free gift of eternal life God offered through Jesus Christ on Calvary is confined to for eternity, still having all of the needs and desires of the mind, will & emotions, but no God to meet them.

Furthermore, deep inside of the mind , at the very moment of death, there is the intense realization it was not God’s will for them to enter into this separation from his goodness and sustainance, and full awareness of their own decision to ignore God’s warnings against rejecting his word…. See More

Their chances in life on earth to accept the remedy provided by God and throw themselves on the mercy of Christ are gone forever and their situation is without remedy. There is no going back. No more warmth of love, because that comes from the God they rejected. No more breath of life, because that comes from the God they rejected. No more daylight, or flowers, or mountains, or waterfalls. Thirst, but no water. No more rainbows, or stars, or heavens, or wonder, or beauty. No more hope to repent from the situation they face, all because of a single decision within their heart to reject the lord Jesus Christ and turn away from the heart of God.

There are those who may read this who are not right with God at this moment. Those who reject God, and are currently living life on their own terms… The message is clear. God is love. In him there is no darkness. Jesus spoke more about Hell than he did of Heaven. Once you take your last breath, will you lose your very soul by your own choice? You have to ask yourself. Is it worth it to tell yourself that God doesn’t exist? Is it worth it to say that there is no God, and live a life that ends at your last breath, only to enter in to eternal separation from God? That is a gamble that is not worth rolling the dice over.

Jesus’ arms are open wide, if you want to enter in to eternal life for free. It’s a free gift. Not something you earn. The Bible clearly states, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

There is fun in sin, no doubt, but it is only for a short season.
