2. Is there a kingdom of heaven and hell?
 
Last time, I explained that people who went to Hades would be released after the Devil's destruction and undergo judgment.
This time, we will discuss the kingdom of heaven and hell.
It is because of sin that man goes to the Devil's world after death. That is, if you have sinned, you belong to the Devil. (1 John 3:8)

It is one of Satan's subordinates that rules this world.
He is the one who tested Jesus by stating that he had all the power and glory of this world. (Luke 4:5-7)
In the book of Revelation, this being is called the great prostitute. (Revelation 17:1)
The reason for this is his rendering of people as dirty through fornication. (Revelation 17:2)
The waters on which the prostitute sits represent peoples. (Revelation 17:15)

The Devil is called Satan, the dragon, or the ancient serpent. (Revelation 20:2)
God will destroy the Devil in the future. (Revelation 20:10)
After the Devil's destruction, there will be a judgment, and through this judgment, it will be decided who will go to the kingdom of heaven or hell. (Revelation 20:15)
Therefore, no one has so far arrived at the kingdom of heaven or hell.

So what kind of people will go to hell in the judgment?
God revealed that unbelievers and those who have done evil will be thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 21:8)

This time, we have seen how the kingdom of Heaven and Hell has not yet been made. Next time, we will discuss Adam, the first human created.

The First Resurrection and the Second Death

-
The Bible says there are the First Resurrection and the Second Death. What do these mean?   1. The First Death   At first, the Bible calls the death of flesh “to sleep”.   Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. ( Dan.12:2)   After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."  His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."  Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. ( John11:11-13)   The death God had said doesn’t mean the death of flesh.  It indicates being forsaken by God.  Adam committed sin and was thrown out by God, which is the First Death.  All his descendants are among the death.  Thus Jesus called people the dead.   Another disciple said to him, "Lord, firs...

The Kingdom of Heaven and Hell

-
Generally Christians think those saved go to the kingdom of heaven after life, and sinners, hell.  But where the dead go is not the kingdom of heaven or hell but Hades.  The kingdom of heaven and hell will be created after judgment.  Let see what Hades, the kingdom of heaven, and hell are.   1. Hades   People mostly confuse hell with Hades.  However Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire which is known as hell, so we can know Hades is not hell.   Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ( Rev.20:14)   The Greek “Hades” is a translation of the Hebrew “Sheol” and the meaning of it is grave.  After death, flesh goes to grave and spirit is dragged into the spiritual world, Hades.  The Bible says that as Hades follows behind Death.   I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. ( Rev.6:8) ...

The Providence of God

1. The history of Israel shows God's Providence. 2.  God's Providence consists of 3+4=7. 3.   The 3 means the history of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 4. Abraham is the symbol of God, Isaac Jesus, and Jacob the second olive tree. (John the baptist was the one who prepared the way for Jesus, and the first olive tree is the one who sows seeds for the second. Refer to  The Story of the Three Figures ) 5.  The 4 means the four generations, 400 years, in which the twelve tribes of Israel were raised in Egypt. The 12 comes from 3 times 4. They were God's army who fought against the Canaanites, and the symbol of the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel to fight against the army of the Devil in the future. 6.  Jacob gave births to the 12 sons, which was the symbol for the second olive tree to complete the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe consists of 12,000 and all of them are 144,000. They are God's army, the crop harvested. (Refer to  The Arm...

They are called the wife of the Lamb Jesus, and their names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelations 21:9, 27)   God started his work with mankind from Cain and Abel 6,000 years ago, but his people didn’t follow his will. God renewed his work 4,000 years ago choosing Abraham. At that time God had plan to send his son, Jesus, as Abraham’s descendant.   Abraham was called by God in Haran at 75. ...

The Army of Heaven

The book of Revelation shows wars between the army of God and the army of the Devil.  People think commonly the war of Armageddon would be the third World War which will break out in Israel.  However it is symbolic to show a war in the spiritual world.  This war aims to catch the Devil and the Devil is a spirit so the war will be between spirits in spiritual world.  God has been making the army of heaven during 6,000 years.  They have been being made in the Old and New Testament times, 144,000 saints mostly consisted of martyrs.  They will be given the authority to judge after they destroy the Devil, and after the judgment they will be kings to rule the saved from it and priests to serve God.  1.

The Divinity of Jesus

1. Authority over the Nations 2. The being before the Creation 3. Being with the Holy Spirit 4. The prophecy of 30 silver coins 5. The prophecy of the crucifixion 6. The prophecy of the fountain to wash away sins 7. The prophecies of the resurrection and the throne 1. Authority over the Nations In Old Testament are written many prophecies which were given by Jesus.  People may think it doesn’t make sense someone had written prophecies in the Bible before he was born.  But if it is true, we can admit Jesus had been before he came to this world.  This article is for presenting some of the prophecies which were given by Jesus himself. The material which we can directly admit Jesus wrote is Psalm 2.  It is related to Revelations chapter 2.  Let’s see Revelations first. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations-- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery'-...

The Promises given to him who overcomes

-
In the book of Revelation come eight promises for him who overcomes.  The seven of them were given by Jesus and the other one by Jehovah.  Many people think those who have good belief would be the overcomer, but that’s not true.  The reason is those promises are so enormous.  The overcomer will get the authority over nations, and as Jesus is ruling all in heaven on God’s throne together after he had overcome, and the overcomer also will rule all in heaven on Jesus’ throne together.   Jesus tried to find him who would overcome because he wanted to use him as olive tree.  When Jesus was in this world, he didn’t know of olive tree.  After Jesus received God’s book in his right hand he got to know of olive tree.  God already prophesied two olive trees 2500 years ago.  Jesus wanted the overcomer would come out to accomplish the work of olive tree which was predetermined by God.   Let’s look at the promises for the overcomer and fin...
