Where is Satan in the 1000 years?

Hello Beloved,

We last talked about Revelation : Two Witnesses, and how the " rapture" can and will take place.. Now I would like to address something else... It's about the
evil one; Satan, Lucifer, serpent, dragon, the devil; and where he will be spending the Millennial Reign ( 1000 years).
While some may think that he will be spending them here on earth with those left behind,in a sense that may be true.. If you are talking about the anti-christ being here.. Yes, the anti-christ is a man indwelt of Satan. But if you are speaking of the 1000 years after the tribulation then I would say , no I disagree. In the Bible ( KJV) , we learn from the book of Genesis 3:1-6 that the serpent has been lying since the very beginning of man. Please , I ask you to go and read this for yourself...
Genesis 3:4 " And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die." Now we know that this is a lie.. Please read this for your self..
Throughout the entire Word of God, ( The Holy Bible) we read about how this old serpent, the devil, has lied to man and cause him to fall so far from God.
Idol worship, greed, lust, to name just a few is how Satan gets to us... It will go this way until the return of Christ Jesus....
Please go now to the book of Revelation; We know that a time is coming when the world will accept the anti-christ as the world leader.... That time is upon us now. Throughout this time( the Tribulation) I believe that the " church" will be gone and the ones left behind will go through so much bad stuff... horrible things, things so bad we can not truly image what it will be like.....read the book of Revelation to see what will happen...This will all take place in a seven year period.... The anti-christ will be in charge and then after the seven years ... Then Armageddon happens, Christ returns and this takes you to Chapter 20 in Revelation where you find that in Revelation 20:1-3, " And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."
" And he laid hold on the " dragon" that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan and bound him for a thousand years." (1000 years) " And cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season."
So, I believe that Satan will be bound for a 1000 years and not with those left behind. I believe that the ones who are left behind will have a second chance in accepting Christ as their Savior , it will not be an easy choice but I still believe that some will make that choice..... IF not true then who are the " tribulation saints"? This is how I understand the scriptures.. Right or wrong that is up to my Lord and Savior.... Have you made a decision to follow Christ now while there is still time? I pray you have.. I am not intending to upset or offend anyone.. I am praying for all out there.... that you would find peace in our Savior Jesus Christ..... tenderly with arms about you ... your sister in Christ Jesus.. vickie

Revelation: Two Witnesses

Hello Beloved,

I was listening to a preacher on TV the other day and he was talking about
Revelation 11: The Two Witnesses. Please get out your Bible and read what it says... It does not name the Witnesses BUT, ( always is a but) most people believe they know who they are..... Some say Moses and Elijah, some say Elijah and Enoch. I think I go along with Elijah and Enoch.
In Genesis 5: 21-24 ( pay close attention to 24)
" And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.. "
Now go to 2 Kings 2: and read this chapter pay attention to v. 11
" there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
Now the way I read that is this: Enoch and Elijah neither one died.... And in scripture it says: " and it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgement". Hebrews 9:27
Enoch and Elijah have not died yet.... Now , turn to Revelation 11:8
" And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of that great city"
They have to die and then comes judgement... This is what you and I will have to do also.... We have to die and then we will be judged.
Now , here is where you may or may not agree and that is just fine... We all have to search out the scriptures to our own understanding.. Go now to Philippians 2:12 " work out your own salvation with fear and trembling".
I have use scriptures here to show you that while the word " rapture" is not in the Bible it does show that it will happen.... We will be translated ( changed) , caught up ( rapture) when the time appointed comes...
Now read: 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 v.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".
I think this is a good explanation of what we call the " rapture". I do believe that it will take place and I believe it will be taking place very soon..
Have you made your choice of where you are going to spend eternity? I sure hope you have... If you haven't and you would like to do that now.. I can say a prayer with you and then you can find a good Bible based church and be baptized and know then that you will get to spend eternity with our Savior Jesus Christ. Would you like to pray now?
Dear Lord Jesus, Would you please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart , my life and show me the way , that you want me to live... I am sorry for all my sins and I want to start living to please you... I pray you will forgive me and come into my life... In Jesus name.... Amen..
Now find a good Bible church and study to show yourself approved...
Remember : Smile, it is a free gift from God for you to share with all around you .... tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

For God So Loved The World

Hello Beloved,

"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. " John 3:16

This has been my favorite bible verse since I can remember.. I was just thinking about it again... Have you got a favorite verse that you think about ? Do you say it out loud a lot? What happens when you do? When I say mine out loud
it makes me think of things like : who is the world? Who is a whosoever? What is everlasting life , and what will it be like? So, as I was thinking about these
things today I decided I would write my thoughts and feelings on them down.. So here goes,,, you may or may not agree with me and that is okay too...
We all see things a little differently and that is okay , because we are all different..
Who is the world? Well, for one I am.... so are you... If you or I had been the only one here God would still have sent his son down here to die for our sins. How does that make you feel? Me, humble and very loved... To think that our Savior would have done that for just me! Whoa, that is some pretty heady ( intoxicating) stuff. But, wait a minute ..... He did it for YOU too.... Now, how do you feel?
His only begotten son... Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who is the whosoever?
I like this one..... whosoever is YOU and me...Yep, it is the one who will turn to Christ Jesus and ask him into their heart. You may not feel like much to the world or to the people in the world but let me tell you this, YOU are a whosoever! You get to chose the world or Christ Jesus... You get to chose!!! When you chose Jesus you have become a whosoever and I think that is the most wonderful place you can be... It is about choice. I have chosen to become a whosoever in the Kingdom of God... What are you going to chose?
Not perish?
perish: to be utterly destroyed or ruined , to be specific to die a violent or untimely death.
So when you believe in the son that was sent ( Christ Jesus) you should NOT perish. Not be utterly destroyed or die a violent death.. NOW, beloved that is IMPORTANT!!!!! To me at least...
Everlasting Life.
To live and reign forever, infinity ( endless) and for all eternity with Christ Jesus. Yeah, I will take that one...
Have you ever thought about eternity? What will it be like? To be able to be around Christ for always. No darkness, no loneliness, no sorrow, no tears, no sickness, no death.. It will always be just perfect out, because we will be in the presence of perfection, Jesus Christ.. Oh, I don't know about you but I am longing for this place.... I can't wait to get there... I know I am going for sure too... I have made sure of that... How? Well it was pretty easy.. Want to know how??? I can tell you.... Okay, I will...
First thing you need to do is : repent of all you sins, tell Jesus how sorry you are, how you want him to be in your life, and when you do this please don't do it lightly..... This is after all eternity we are talking about..... So please be serious about it...... Then after your repent, go and get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.. Then get into a good bible believing church with a man who is filled with the Spirit of God and then you just have a relationship with Christ Jesus . YOU know how to do that already,, yes, you do... You have a relationship with friends, parents, siblings, children , ect ...right? Well Jesus is someone who is your friend, and sticks closer than a brother would... So it should be pretty easy.. and you my beloved are on your way to a eternal reward... Eternity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... WELCOME!!!!!!! I love having you as a brother or sister... We may not meet til we get to heaven but until then, know that I love you heart and soul..
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus... vickie

The Rapture What Happens After, Part Five

Hello Beloved,

I am going to backtrack a little this time... I hope I am doing this correctly. I sure don't want to confuse or mislead anyone... that is not my intentions. I will be telling you what I think all of the scriptures mean so far... again I hope I am correct.. I have no formal training in anything I am just voicing my opinion.

First off I believe the church will be gone... The ones who are left behind and who accept Christ Jesus as Lord will be known as the Tribulation Saints.
Revelation 7: 13-14
" And one of the elders answered , saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" " And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. and he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
There will be 144,000 , virgin young men, 12,000 from each tribe of Israel, who will be sealed with God's seal in their forehead.
After this , things on earth get pretty bad... Let's try to put it in a word picture.
The "rapture " has happened....things are in an uproar all over the planet.... all the children are gone, and certain people are gone, ( we know they are the ones who followed Jesus Christ and had a relationship with Him) . We have had cars crash, and roads are in a mess, planes falling from the sky, trains and trucks coming to halt. People in a panic because they have lost loved ones and friends and they don't know what has happened.... So, now people are going to be filling up churches to see if they can help find the answers...
We know that things will not get better only worse ...People will see that a new government will take over, new currency, new religion, all of it will be 'One World " ... This is going to be bad.... Israel will sign a seven year peace treaty that won't be real.. People, this is not going to be a pleasant time in history.. And after all this , it will really go down hill...
I pray for you . If you are left behind I pray that you will fall to your knees and ask the One who created you and who died for your sins to forgive you and tell you what to do next...... God' s blessing for you..
I told you at the beginning that this would be just how I see things... I hope I have not confused you or mislead you... I hope that if your reading this BEFORE the rapture takes place that you would give your life over to Jesus Christ so you would not have to go through any of the horrible things to come..

The Rapture What Happens After Part Four

Hello Beloved,

Revelation 9:7 will be the starting point today.

Locusts , were like a horse prepared unto battle, crowns on their heads and faces like men.;hair as the hair of woman, and teeth like lions.; they had breastplates of iron, sounds of their wings like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle; and the tails like scorpions, and stings in their tails and power to hurt man for five months. The king over them is the angel of the bottomless pit and in Hebrew his name is Abaddon, in Greek it is Apollyon.

This is the Second Woe.
After the sixth angel sounded. Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.. they were prepared for and hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay 1/3 part of man.. And the number of the army of the horseman is 200 million. " And thus I saw the horses in the vision and them that sat on them having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth and brimstone and the heads of horses were as the heads of lions,and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone." By these three was 1/3 of men killed by the smoke, fire and brimstone. The rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues , repented not. Not of idol worship nor of murders nor sorceries, nor of their fornication's nor thefts.

Chapter 10:
In this chapter it talks about book and how John is commanded to eat this book. How it goes in sweet and in his belly it is bitter. And v.11." And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues and kings.""

Chapter 11:

1: " And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood , saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2: But the court which is without he temple leave out, and measure it not, for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot 42 months

"Now next we learn that power will be given to two witnesses and they shall prophesy 1260 days..( 42 months, or 3 1/2 years) If any try to hurt these two witnesses , fire will proceed from their mouth, and devour their enemies. They will have the power to shut heaven that in the days of their prophecy, and have power over waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with plagues as often as they will. The beast from the bottomless pit will make war with them and they will be killed. And their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city; which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt , where also our Lord was crucified. People from many nations will see them lying in the street for 3 1/2 days and they will not be put into the grave. People will party and send gifts to one another because of these two witnesses. NOW, after 3 1/2 days the Spirit of life from God entered into them and stood them on their feet and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto , Come up hither. They ascended up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies beheld them....

Remember to smile it is a free gift from God to you so you can share it ... tenderly with arms about you, your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

The Rapture: What Happens After Part Three

Hello Beloved,

Taking up where we left off ... Revelation 8: I will paraphrase a lot of this
so please get out your Bible and follow along... I will be using the KJV.
Revelation 8:1
" And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
Why do you think there was silence in heaven? Is it because we ( the church ) will be so awed at what we see or will it be because of what the seventh seal is all about?
v3-4 " And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer and there was give unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne." 4. " And the smoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angels hand."
v. 5 " And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth: and there were voice, and thunderings, and lightnings and an earthquake."
v.6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
v.7 (paraphrase) The first angel sounded and hail and fire mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth and 1/3 part of trees burnt up and all the grass and was burnt up.
v.8 The 2d angel sounded and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and 1/3 part of the sea became blood.
v.9 1/3 of the creatures died and 1/3 of the ships destroyed,
10. the 3d angel sounded and there fell a great star from heaven burring as it were a lamp, and it fell upon 1/3 part of the rivers and the fountains of water.
11. And the name of the star is Wormwood, and 1/3 of the water became wormwood , many died because the water became bitter.
12. And the fourth angel sounded, and 1/3 of the sun was smitten 1/3 part of the moon and stars darkened, and the day and night 1/3 likewise.
13. an angel flying through the midst of heaven , saying with a loud voice " Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels , which are yet to come!"
There is still more to come. What has happened so far sounds pretty terrible to me.
Are you ready to hear about the last three trumpets? Chapter 9: The first Woe:
Fifth angel sounded , a star falls from heaven to earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.. Who will this be? We know it is a person by the reference of "to him". He opened the bottomless pit and out of it arose smoke and the dun and air were darkened by reason of the smoke. And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth, and they had power , as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to hurt the grass or any green thing, just those who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads. Not to
kill but to torment five months. Man shall seek death in those day and not find it.
In the next post we will find out what they look like.... tenderly with arms around you.... your sister in Christ Jesus..... vickie

The Rapture: What Happens After, Part Two

Hello Beloved,

In my last post I talked about the " rapture" and where you could find it in the
scriptures and today I want to talk about what happens after the rapture has already taken place...
In the book of Revelation it tells us what is going to happen...
Let's start with Revelation 5: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. The Lamb of God, we know Him as Christ Jesus. Revelation 6: 2 Shows us that a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.. Who is that? Christ Jesus.
Rev 6:4 Red horse: War. : 6:5 Black Horse: Famine Rev. 6 : 8 Pale Horse: Death; Rev 6:9, fifth seal Martyrs, Rev 6:12, Sixth seal Cataclysm.
Matthew 24: Tell us the signs of the end of this age. Folks we are there. Many will come in my name, saying they are Christ and shall deceive many.. Now this we know has happened,,, look at Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshal Applewhite, and David Shayler just to name a few of the more recent. War and rumors of war, , again we know this to be true too... each day the news is filled with war...nation against nation, again look at the daily news.. these are beginning of the sorrows. We can't say the name of Jesus Christ anymore for it offends. We have seen through mass media the Gospel preached throughout the world. It has happened folks. We have a famine in this world , a spiritual famine. People loving themselves more than loving God... Do you not see this happening? I have so many things running through my head right now and I hope this is making sense to you..
When the church is removed ( the Saints of God are the church) it will be a time of trouble so bad the world has NEVER known it before.... How then if you are not a believer before are you going to stand up against all this trouble when it comes?
Maybe it will go something like this..... maybe....
You go to church all your life but you have not really made the commitment to follow all the ways of Christ so when the " rapture" happens you are left behind.
Now what? People will be flocking to churches to see what they have to do.. will you be one of them? Everything will be in chaos, cars on the road will pile up because some of the drivers were " caught up", planes falling out of the sky, because some of the pilots were" caught up", people standing in line at the grocery store and the clerk ringing up there order, gone, " caught up. Your talking on the phone and the other person is suddenly gone, " caught up".. You are sitting in church and listening to the pastor and while looking at him , poof! he is no longer there and the congregation is missing, and you see your alone, what happened?/ They were " caught up" to meet Jesus in the air... and you were left behind.. You sit there and cry , and start saying take me , take me, I believe, pleas O Lord, take me.. But it is too late to be apart of the " rapture". Now what do you do?
Stay on your knees and commit, REALLY commit your life to the only one who can save you, Christ Jesus. Get ready to die for the name of Jesus Christ....It is what will happen... It is going to be a time of utter destruction on this planet earth.. No other time in the history of this planet will be this bad.....
God is getting ready to pour out His wrath on the planet....
The seventh seal is opened.. Revelation 8:
This is a good place to stop till the next post. I hope you will continue to read this, it is for those who are left behind.. Don't let that be you..

Tenderly with arms around you... your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

The Rapture; What happens after, Part One.

Hello Beloved,

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;( KJV) talks about the sudden coming of the Lord.
In verses 16-18 it says: 16.) " For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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. 18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
In Matthew 24 it talks about the Signs of the end of this age.. I believe that it speaking about today, yes, today the one you and I are living in... In Matthew 24: 39-42 it talks about the coming of the Lord. How there will be 2 in a field and one taken and one left, two woman grinding at the mill, one taken and one left. This is saying the same thing as 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; a " caught up", or as most of us know it " The Rapture". 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52. See these and other references ... In Latin the word for " caught up " is " rapturo", where we get the word rapture from... in the Greek it is the word " harpazo" meaning caught up.
So we know that this is a real event that is to take place.. I will go on with this but first I must ask you. Are you ready for this event to happen? I mean are you ready for this event to happen to YOU? You really don't have to do much to get ready for it; all you need to do is just give your life over to the one, the only one, who can save you..... Our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, that is it... you just have to give your life over to Him.. NOW, if you want to be in the Bride of Christ you have some other things to do...". Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 . This was Peter talking not Paul... So the choice is yours to be saved.... I am so praying right this minute that you will believe this and know that it is true and accept Jesus Christ right now... If you don't stand now how will you stand after the church is gone?
I will make another post on what happens after the rapture..
Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with others.
