If you have not read the first post please do. You will not understand this post unless you do. This is part II of The Mark Unleashed 666 - What's True and What's False
I am going to continue following the same format. Will present what is True in the movie and what is false.
Truth
Those who serve and Love God don't have to fear the future or what God's enemies will do to them. Because God has promised eternal life. And God's promises are true.
Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adop tion, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
That man as soon as he dies goes to heaven. That those who are martyred immediately go to heaven.
But the Bible teaches that those who die lose total consciousness and are not aware of what is happening here on earth let alone in heaven.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecc 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neithe r have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Death is like a sleep. Jesus himself said it referring to the death of Lazarus:
Joh 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Joh 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
The Bible teach e s that when we die we all go to the grave. Wicked and Just go to the grave. The difference is in the r esurrection. Those who die in Christ will come tot he resurrection of the just while the wicked in the resurrection of damnation.
Here is the Bible text that talks about the resurrection of the just and when does it happen:
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
As you may see here, Paul also refers to those who are dead in Christ as asleep. When do we join the Lord to be with Him forever? At His second coming-not before. It says that the "dead in Christ shall rise first"! Why first? Because there is a second. In the second resurrection the wicked shall rise to receive their punishment. Here is the text:
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
You see how those who are beheaded for the cause of Christ DO NOT GO TO HEAVEN IMEDIATELY BUT AFTER THE FIRST RESURRECTION! They don't have part in the second death. The second death is the permanent death that only the wicked suffer. The second death belongs to the second resurrection. Only those who participate in the first resurrection reign with Christ for 1000 years. If you want to know the Truth about what the Bible Teaches about death Click Here!
