This blog post is an edited and expanded version of supplemental articles the Lord led me to write in the June 2012 and 2013 Strong Man Of God Monthly Newsletter that immediately followed “Man As God Designed Him” and “Raised To Immortal Glory, Pt. 3” when those Commentaries were respectively published in the same publication. Clearly, the glorious immortal destiny of the saints of God is infinitely greater than those that choose to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the mercies of God, I cry out to the reader outside of Christ by any means including as a professing Christian impostor or spiritually dead religionist to repent now and turn to Him while you have the opportunity!

Scripture teaches every single human being that has ever lived and died will be raised from the dead by Jesus Christ: some to immortal glory; some to immortal condemnation (Daniel 12:2; John 5:25-29)! In accord with God’s will and purposes as the apostle Paul teaches, the resurrection of all deceased humanity to immortality will be in ordered sequence. Thus, Jesus Christ is the first glorified immortal followed by those that by faith belong to Him at His Second Coming (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). Paul is led by the Holy Spirit to narrowly discuss only the resurrection of the saints directly following Christ’s as the focus of His instruction on the topic to the church at Corinth.
However, the apostle John reveals that between the resurrection of Christ to immortal glory and that of the saints, there will be a select number of persons that are raised to immortality. The next immortals after Christ will be the “Antichrist” (1 John 2:18; Revelation 13:1-10, NKJV), God’s two witnesses (Revelation 11:3-12), the false prophet (Revelation 13:11-18) and as “firstfruits” to God and Christ before the full harvest of all the saints, 144,000 men who had been lifelong celibates in the Lord’s service and now form His new and unique innermost circle as I write in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics (Revelation 14:1-5, NKJV).
Three and one half years after the resurrection to immortality of the Antichrist, all of the Lord’s saints are raised to immortal glory (Revelation 14:14-16, 20:4-6). One thousand years after this, all of the wicked are resurrected to immortality to be judged on the Day of Judgment and immediately condemned to “Hell” or if you will, “the lake of fire” with “Death and Hades” (Matthew 18:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15, NKJV). The two evil human immortals, Antichrist and false prophet, will have actually preceded Satan and his fallen angelic hosts and the main body of wicked immortals as the first to be cast into the lake of fire (Daniel 7:11; Revelation 19:19-20, 20:7-10).
The clear evidence the Antichrist is truly slain and resurrects an immortal (Revelation 13:3) is his single handed take down of the Lord’s supernaturally empowered two witnesses. Until the Antichrist, no human force on earth is able to get near them as they carry out God’s campaign to protect Israel during their reinstated temple worship complete with animal sacrifices and plague assisted call for humanity to turn to God in repentance. “The beast” or Antichrist is described as he “that ascends out of the bottomless pit” (which is another name for Hades, the realm of the dead awaiting judgment) to kill the two witnesses, stop temple sacrifices and launch his God shortened 42 month reign of desolation (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15-22; Revelation 8:12-13, 11:1-7, NKJV).
Those obsessed with their worldly brand of gender equality are surely stymied and disappointed to know the beast and later the resurrected false prophet along with all of the pre-Second Coming immortals are men and retain a masculine form in their immortal spiritual bodies. Hence, the immortal Antichrist in appearance “greater than his fellows” and “fierce” of face is called the “man of sin” and “son of perdition” since his masculine form indicates this is what he is (Daniel 7:19-20, 8:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:3, NKJV). Consistent then with the immortal spiritual bodies of the saints, the spiritual bodies of the immortal wicked will retain the general frame and form of the natural, mortal human body. Wicked immortals will not marry, procreate or even desire sex either.
Besides transformation from natural to spiritual, the immortal bodies of the wicked as seen in the Antichrist share indestructibility in common with those of the saints. He is able to kill God’s two witnesses because they cannot kill him with their God granted power of fire that destroys mortal flesh. This is perfectly consistent with what our Lord Jesus teaches about Hell’s torment as He stresses that the worm of the wicked immortals there never dies in the fire that is never extinguished (Mark 9:42-48). Unlike God’s glorified immortal sons, wicked immortals in Hell will have the ability to shed tears and experience pain as they forever weep and grind their teeth in agony (Matthew 13:41-42, 47-50, 24:48-51, 25:41-46; Revelation 21:4).
Too, the immortal spiritual bodies of the wicked are stripped down from those of the saints. They have no glory. And while Scripture does not specify whether or not the Antichrist or false prophet are able to fly, appear or disappear, it does declare that Satan and all of his hosts will have been confined to earth at this time precluding any travel in the spiritual realm by anything evil beyond it (Revelation 12:7-12). Save what God grants these two evil immortals to temporarily do by the power of Satan (Revelation 13:11-15), they will not have any supernatural abilities--the glorified immortal saints by contrast, eternally operate in the power of the Holy Spirit! Indeed, all that these two evil immortals do is orchestrated, empowered and overseen by Satan (2 Thessalonians 2:9).
For this reason, the Antichrist will fully honor only the devil as a god above himself--therefore, understand, he will not advocate for any major religion or preside over any form of ecumenicalism as some teach (Daniel 8:24-25, 11:36-39; Revelation 13:4). Truly, as seen in the Antichrist, the wicked are not done at all with evil after death. Returning from his short stay in Hades very bitter knowing his eternal fate--as do all at death, his first major act is to kill men who are plainly God’s servants fully showing no repentance. Conversely, he is eternally hardened into his evil mindset in which God’s just end for him and all that reject Christ is “outer darkness” in Hell forever (Matthew 22:1-14, NKJV)! The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, "Who is on the Lord's side?"
‘“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!’” says your God. ‘“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins,’” (Isaiah 40:1-2, NKJV). The glorious Second Coming of Jesus Christ is tied in very important part to the divine promise to deliver and comfort remnant Jews in Israel and scattered over the face of the earth after all of their many centuries of travail at the Lord’s hand for sin (Isaiah 40:3-5, 9-11; Jeremiah 30:10-11). For bound up in the second phase of Christ’s work from the Father is His awesome coming for vengeance and the comfort of His people (Isaiah 61:1-2; Matthew 5:4).
In the soon coming day of Israel’s comfort by the Lord, it will have been thoroughly fulfilled what was first written by Moses that He “will judge His people,” (Deuteronomy 32:36a, NKJV). In lieu of annihilation for transgression, sin and iniquity--as was done to many similarly guilty nations--to include instigating the death of their King (Zephaniah 3:1-7; Matthew 27:11-26), the Lord destroyed Jerusalem and the temple and scattered the people to the four winds in AD 70 as double punishment (Jeremiah 30:12-15; Hosea 3:1-5, 5:8-15). With all of the foretold horrors of suffering that followed, yearning for the land of Zion continued until the Lord in step with His prophetic Word at the turn of the 20th century began to show He was again hearing Israel’s cry (Psalm 44, 74, 79, 80, 106:40-48).
After two world wars, the victorious nations in pity for unspeakable Jewish suffering consented to accept the formal creation of a Jewish State, even Israel on May 14, 1948. Immediately, the new nation was at war and against all odds prevailed in it and the several that have followed (Isaiah 66:5-9). However, scattered Israel’s troubles and sorrows as double punishment from the Lord are not yet over. In the buildup to the time of “Jacob’s trouble” looming large ahead in which out of fear of Him the nations will permit the temple to be rebuilt, God alone will prevail for His people (Jeremiah 30:4-9; Revelation 7:1-8, 8-11:2). When their strength is gone and there is no hope, then my God in compassion shall again act to deliver Israel (Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 46; Jeremiah 30:16-24).
Why does God do this for Israel? Is it not because God is a God of grace and mercy and they are His chosen people that He loves with an everlasting love; gathering them back to Himself in the land of promise (Deuteronomy 7:6-11; Isaiah 41:8-16, 43:1-13, 49:14-21, 51:1-16; Jeremiah 31; Romans 11:1-10)? The Lord will come down from Heaven before every eye to deliver His people, the remnant of Israel and comfort them with grace and forgiveness in all of their mourning especially over what their 1st century forefathers did to Him and their own unbelief (Psalm 18:1-17; Isaiah 51:17-52:10, 66:10-17; Micah 7:14-20; Zechariah 12:10-13:1, 7-9). Immediately, the Lord will also summon the remaining scattered Jews to Him in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-14; Zephaniah 3:8-13).
They will come weeping and singing for joy from the four corners of the earth to which they were scattered with the Lord’s power on display to help them (Isaiah 11:15-16, 35, 49:8-13; Micah 4:1-8). Some will be assisted by surviving Gentiles who also rejoice with them in this latest and last foretold turnabout in one of the greatest love stories in the history of the world; God and Israel, reconciled in and by Christ forever (Isaiah 49:22-26)! When they are all gathered to the Lord in the land, then He shall heal and restore them completely as part of His comfort; giving them “beauty for ashes,” joy in the Holy Spirit for mourning and new clothes of praise (Isaiah 61:3; Zechariah 8:1-8, NKJV)!
The redeemed sons of Jacob shall also set about under the leadership of Christ their King to “rebuild the old ruins,” “raise up the former desolations,” “repair the ruined cities” and enjoy all of the many blessings He shall bestow upon them as they move forward in their divinely ordained eternal comfort (Isaiah 61:4-9; Zephaniah 3:14-20, NKJV). Finally, they will live in the peace and security they have longed for; peace and security only the Almighty God can provide (Jeremiah 23:5-8; Ezekiel 28:24-26, 34:25-31)! They, for their part will overflow with continuing joy in Christ their King and the blessings of righteousness bestowed on them by the Father before all nations (Isaiah 61:10-11; Ezekiel 39:21-29).
Now, in these latter days it is important that faithful Christians stand for support with unredeemed Israel in their ancient land and scattered over the earth in accord with the working of God. Understanding though, that only a tiny, elect, mortal remnant will see Christ come, it is of the greatest importance to facilitate the proclamation of the Gospel to them especially by their own redeemed, messianic brethren so that many will be saved. For indeed, the visible vindication and comfort of the saints composed of multitudes of Jews and Gentiles made righteous in Christ by faith and resurrected to immortal glory at His appearing will coalesce with all of God’s foretold promises of comfort to that surviving, mortal remnant of Israel (Romans 11:11-15)!
Israel is forever the natural branches of the olive tree God planted and He comes to deliver that we Gentiles in certain number He knows are grafted into. To see it any other way is blatant arrogance and damnable heresy (Romans 11:16-29). The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”
