The very foundation of the Holy Scriptures is SALVATION or REDEMPTION of the KINGDOM of GOD. What is God’s salvation or redemption plan for human beings? We must never forget that God sent Jesus to this earth (John 3:16-18) for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32)

When Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman by the well he said: “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22-24).

Paul explained God’s salvation or redemption plan when he said: “Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (1 Corinthians 15:23).

Who are “Christ the firstfruits”? They are the 144,000 servants or saints from the 12 tribes of Israel who were killed (Revelation 6:9-10). These saints kept the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12), and they did not worship the beast, neither his image, and did not receive his mark in their hands or foreheads (Revelation 20:4).

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the [FIRSTFRUITS] unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God” (Revelation 14:4).

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15).

If God's servants or saints, the firstfruits are [KILLED], we are most assured by word of God that there is no so called “rapture” to escape death for the rest of human beings because it is written: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).

Jesus explained in detail the events on the DAY OF JUDGMENT in the parable of the sheep and goats (Matthew 25:31-34, 41-46).

“Then cometh [THE END], when [HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER]; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

This heaven and earth will pass away!

Jesus is not coming to reign on this earth because at the end of the Day of Judgment, this earth will become uninhabitable (Isaiah 24:19) (Revelation 16:17–18). This heaven and earth is not a space of everlasting habitations.   This heaven and earth will pass away (Jeremiah 4:23) (Revelation 21:1). God “hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” (Acts 17:26). Jesus is very clear when he says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. But God is the judge: [HE PUTTETH DOWN ONE, AND SETTETH UP ANOTHER]” (Psalms 46:6, 75:3, 7). Peter confirmed this when he said: “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and ...

The rise of the Antichrist is coming! The day is soon coming when a king will rise to power ruling from Jerusalem, and he will deceive the whole world! DO NOT BE DECEIVED! JESUS, the true Messiah, the Savior of the world already came to this EARTH (John 3:16-18)! “The disciple John said” And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world” (1 John 4:14). There is only ONE KING of the JEWS: JESUS, the only begotten Son of God (Matthew 2:2). During the trial before his crucifixion, Pilate wanted to know more about Jesus. “And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, ‘Art thou the King of the Jews?’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou sayest’” (Matthew 27:11). Again, Pilate specifically asked him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” (John 18:33). “Jesus answered, ‘[MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD]: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jew...

GOD keeps his PROMISES: GOD’s two key PROMISES to human beings: The BOW IN THE CLOUD and THE C R O S S.

“[IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD], that cannot lie, [PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN]” (Titus 1:2). After Noah and his family came out of the ark after the great flood, God promised that the earth will not perish again by a great flood. God declared to Noah: “[I DO SET MY BOW IN THE CLOUD], and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh” (Genesis 9:13, 15). God promised to to save human beings who believe in his only begotten Son before heaven and earth perishes by fire on the Last Day. “[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17). “[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] i...
