Jude 7

I find it very interesting that in the book of Jude, it says (speaking of very grievous false teachers) -

Jude 1:7, Amplified Bible (AMP)

"[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns—which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in practicing carnal lusts—are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire." (Literal = "aion-ion" fire/"age-during".)

Sodom and Gomorrah's fiery destruction.. openly displayed, as the example of everlasting fire, and of judgment.
-----------------------

Talking about the "city harlot" (Rev 19:3) who corrupted the earth (seven hills of/seven continents) it says -- Young's Literal Translation - "the smoke of her destruction doth come up -- to the ages of the ages"

And Rev 14:11 says -- Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

11 "and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are? bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name."

Also interesting I think, considering what is said to be the rule that scripture reveals scripture, and often close by, a few words or verses further along.. Jude 14,15 says "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them..." (KJ) [Whereas judgment day, then "those not believing going to the second death" does not occur until 1000 years later.]

Revelation 14 of course is the two harvests - 1st resurrection and Har-megeddon - ("when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire.." (2 Thess 1:7,8 - NKJ).

The smoke of destruction, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. ..Rising up unto the ages of the ages.. Never forgotten?

God Is Very Geo-Political

Over and over in the scriptures of the Bible, God makes mention of "the nations".

"The nations will trust in Him" is written in many places, prophesied and written, perhaps by every Biblical prophet.

When Jesus was born, it was prophesied "the nations have seen a great light". And it's prophesied when Jesus returns "He will judge between many nations" (it goes on to say "and they will beat their swords into pruning hooks and plowshares, neither shall they learn war anymore, but each one will dwell under their own vine and fruit tree, and no one will bother them"). (Micah 4:3,4)

I get the sense after mankind's history, God will be fully vindicated, good totally triumphant. "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD" - capitalized to refer to the Father - "and all families will rejoice before Him" - Psalm 22:27.

The Mind Of Man

These days the mind of man is thought to be above the mind of God of the Bible. This results in the idea that the Bible should be "added to or taken from".

It all began with man's theory of evolution as to the origins of life. There is "natural selection" but only of what ability for adaptation is present in the DNA code. Man's theory is not only not proven and not observed, but is also outdated - by our looking into the basic cell, by the discovery of the DNA code in all living things, and by a lack of so many zillions of "missing links"/transitional life forms (if all life evolved from one). Yes there is adaptation, but only if the ability is present in the DNA. It is not true that those who believe in "Intelligent Design" of the universe and life, do not believe in "Natural Selection"!

This false teaching (teacher, prophet) of the origins of life, has turned Western Civilization on its ear. It's a strong delusion which changed Christendom and prepared the way for where the world has gone and is going.

It Is HIS Kingdom Which Will Never End

Are there wars and rumors of wars?
 - "The lion will eat straw like the ox.." Is 11:7

Is there famine in the world?
 - "Each one will abide under their own vine and fruit tree.." Micah 4:4


Is there disease in the world? - "The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings and you shall go forth and leap.." Malachi

"And of His Kingdom there shall be no end.." Lk 1:33

Each generation lives plugged into the generation its born into.
People of the world seem to be very much plugged into the world.
All of life seems to be part of a giant grid.

What is the message of Bible prophecy to the world?
What answers should a child of God have?

Where does life and the things of life come from?
More and more, even drinking water is store bought.

Should we tell people (or imply) "don't worry about it, just live your life and what will be will be"?

Or should we suggest that any thing not built squarely upon God cannot be trusted to endure forever. The further the world gets from God and His choices and ways, the more it is bound to fall apart.

When things fall apart people behave badly. If the light of the grid should flicker.. go out.. It is not a time to be out shopping for what one needs for their little children at home.

Yes, God provided manna from heaven to Israel, but due to some silly choices they wandered in the wilderness for forty years. But they left Egypt with plenty of supplies.

Jesus' best words for uncertain times - "Be harmless as doves, wise as serpents."

Are there signs or landmarks (events?) which we could expect to stand as markers for folks in those days? [More on this soon.]

---------------------------------------------------------------

From Daniel 7:20-22 - "...horn (power) that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them" (Rev 20:4b) "until the Ancient of days came, and (then) judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came, that the saints possessed the kingdom."

The Serpent Guise Of The Dragon

All through Revelation, chapter twelve, of the Bible, we read about "the dragon". He waits in front of the woman who gives birth to a manchild who will rule all nations with a rod of iron (unbreakable law and principle) in order to devour the manchild (a son of man) as soon as he is born. We can almost hear "Rachel weeping"...

But the manchild is not devoured. Instead he is caught up to God and his throne. (Hebrews 1:3) At which point, said dragon is enraged and pursues the woman, and there is a first migration (of the faith). There's war in heaven, Michael and his angels battle with the dragon and his angels, who do not prevail, and after which, the dragon is denied further access to the heavens.

He's pretty ticked off about that, so he persecutes the woman, and she is given the two wings of an eagle - a second migration of the faith - so she may fly away from the inquisitions to a new place where she is, for a "set time" (Strong's #2540) and "short while" kept safe from the face, countenance, fashion (Strong's #4383) of the dragon. (A set time of 3.5.)

But the serpent, after the set, short while, spews some sort of flood (proliferation) (Strong's #4215 current, stream, river) after the woman so she will be washed away (Strong's #4216) "overwhelmed, carried away" by the flood.

We know the serpent is the dragon, for the next verse (verse 16) says "But the earth" (in the vision John saw) "came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spewed from his mouth." (Amplified Version) [Cross-Reference - Luke 23:31!]

Why is the dragon in the one verse, referred to as "the serpent"?
