We Have Predestined Seating In The Kingdom of Heaven

And they said to Him, Grant that we may sit, one at Your right hand and one at [Your] left hand, in Your glory (Your majesty and splendor). But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism [of affliction] with which I am baptized? And they replied to Him, We are able. And Jesus told them, The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized, But to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not Mine to give; but [it will be given to those] for whom it is ordained and prepared. Mark 10:37-40

The Holy Spirit clearly tells us that our Father has already ordained and prepared someone to be seated at Jesus’ right hand and at His left hand in His Kingdom. The Spirit just keeps revealing, through scriptures, the glorious Truth that we are predestined to carry out our Father’s will. I don’t know why this would be a problem for anyone to believe? Our Father predestined Jesus to carry out His will, Luke 2:31. Our Father also predestined Paul to carry out His will, Galatians 1:15. Every Christian I have ever met boldly confesses that our Father is in complete control, that He is Omnipotent, and Omniscient. So why freak out that He knew what He was doing and had a plan and a purpose to carry out His will?

For me predestination takes away all of the fear of eternity. Our Father knew who I was and how I was, before I ever was. Even with all of this knowledge, He still chose me and He still had a plan and a purpose for me. I greatly rejoice in the Truth that I have absolutely no ability to override our Father's will. God is my Shepherd, He is my Head, He is my Vine, my Potter, my Lord, and my Master. Jesus purchased me, I am now His possession. That makes Him responsible to keep me and guide me. I do not lead our Father, He leads me. God is not reactive to my abilities, He is proactive in causing me to be who He wants me to be. That just brings me so much peace. And ever since He revealed the Truth to me about the guests at the Wedding Feast, I have no fear whatsoever in the Truth that God knows what He is doing and that He has all of our best interests at heart.

Faith and hope in predestination takes away all of our pride and ego. If our Father gives us one talent or five talents, doesn’t matter. What matters is the Truth that God chooses what He wills and the benefit is glory for all of us. Just as the vine determines when and what fruit that the branch will bare, so does our Father determine the things that are to be in our life's.

There is No Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Part 3

Unlike my other posts, I just want to make some observations about the false theory of a pre-tribulation rapture. This theory teaches us that seven years before Jesus returns that the church is going to be caught up to Heaven to escape the Great Tribulation. This belief really goes against the Truth that the scriptures teach us, that the dead in Christ will rise first, and that the dead in Christ are not raised up until the last day, and only after the last trumpet, the Seventh Trumpet, is sounded. These scriptures alone blow the theory out of the water. (1 Corinthians 15:51, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, John 6:44)

But here is what gets me. The theory of a pre-tribulation rapture teaches us that millions of Christians are going to be taken off of this earth and that even though they are, the world will go on in a time of peace and stability for another 3 1/2 years. Then after these 3 1/2 years, after millions of Holy Ghost filled, mature Christians, are taken away, the earth will finally become chaotic only after the anti-christ breaks a treaty with Israel. Really? Your telling me that millions of powerful Holy Ghost lead people are removed from the earth and nothing happens to the stability of society as soon as they are? You want to actually tell me that people go right along as they always have and actually begin to say peace and safety, 1 Thessalonians 5:3?

Just look at what happens now when 10,000 people are killed by a tsunami in Japan. Or 1% of the homeowners in America default on their mortgages. What about when a couple thousand people are killed in Libya? The shock waves of these relatively tiny events are felt around the world. Markets crash, oil prices skyrocket, governments fall, and banking institutions collapse. Now your telling me that the world will go on blissfully unaware when all of the Holy Ghost filled people on earth are taken away in the twinkling of an eye? Our history just doesn’t prove this out. Especially when the theory also states that these Holy Ghost filled Christians are the ones holding back the evil of the anti-christ. The chaos would begin immediately, there is no way that it would take 3 1/2 years to develop.

So my advice is to look at the scriptures for your absolute proof and then also just ask yourself some simple questions about how mankind acts when people are killed or taken away. When you do, you will see clearly that there is no pre-tribulation rapture of the saints. Also you will see that our Father never leaves us or forsakes us and that we are always more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us, even during the Great Tribulation.

There Is No Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Part 2

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44

The Truth is that Jesus will raise the dead in Him on the last day. But what about those who are alive in Him when He returns?

Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

So we are shown that on the last day of this generation in earth’s history, the last day that man is allowed to appear to be in charge, Jesus will raise the dead in Him and He will also raise those who are alive in Him. Both of us will be raised on the last day and at that time we will all be transformed to be like Him, 1 John 3:2. Take very clear notice that we are repeatedly told through scriptures that the dead in Christ cannot be raised until the last day. The dead in Christ cannot be raised until the last trumpet sounds. The last trumpet is the Seventh Trumpet and immediately after it sounds, Jesus’ flesh returns to the earth, Revelation 11:15. Also the Bible clearly tells us that the dead in Christ will be raised first, before those who are alive in Him.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first. Then we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always (through the eternity of the eternities) we shall be with the Lord! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

The Truth is the dead in Christ are raised first and they are raised on the last day, after the last trumpet sounds, not seven years before it. We are also shown in the Word that those of us who are alive in Christ, shall in no way precede or have advantage over those who are dead in Christ.

For this we declare to you by the Lord's [own] word, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede [into His presence] or have any advantage at all over those who have previously fallen asleep [in Him in death]. 1 Thessalonians 4:15

More scriptural proof that there is no pre-tribulation rapture of the saints. But do not despair, because the Truth also shows us just how greatly we will be used by our Father to win souls during the end times. There will be persecutions during the last 3 1/2 years and they will be fierce, but as a Church, we will be stronger and more empowered through Christ than any other generation has ever been before.

There Is No Pre-Tribulation Rapture

But in those days, after [the affliction and oppression and distress of] that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; And the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great (kingly) power and glory (majesty and splendor). And then He will send out the angels and will gather together His elect (those He has [m]picked out for Himself) from the four winds, from the farthest bounds of the earth to the farthest bounds of heaven. Mark 13:24-27

I know that so many want to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, but the Truth of the scriptures bare out that this is just not to be. Look at what Jesus tells us in these verses in the Gospel of Mark. First we are told that after the days of tribulation is when we will see Jesus coming. Then we are told that when the earth sees Jesus coming, is when the Angels will gather us from the dead to be with Him.

Look in John 6.

For this is My Father's will and His purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:40

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44

He who feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has (possesses now) eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day John 6:54

The Truth is that we are raptured after the Great Tribulation on the last day of this earth. Jesus says it so plainly. Don’t fear this, because the cool part is the power that our Father will bestow on us during the Great Tribulation. We will talk about that Truth, as well as the scriptural Truths of when the dead are raised, in the coming days and it is glorious!

What Is Hades For?

And [the man] said, Then, father, I beseech you to send him to my father's house--For I have five brothers--so that he may give [solemn] testimony and warn them, lest they too come into this place of torment. Luke 16:17-28

This rich ruler was sent to Hades for what seems to be ignoring the needs of Lazarus who was in great need. This parable implies that this rich man was stingy and only cared for himself. Preaching here normally goes along the lines of: don’t be as the rich ruler was or your going to pay a heavy price, by being thrown into Hades and you will suffer for your sins. But, let’s look at what Jesus actually shows us with this parable: the rich man actually begins to show concern for other people while he is in Hades. This selfish, stingy, and over indulgent guy is thrown into Hades and begins to suffer and when he does, we can see a change in him. As he realizes that he can’t be let loosed from his disciplining, he begins to show love and concern for others.

Hades begins to soften this guy and it begins to drive him in the right direction of mercy towards others. Ask yourself this, why does our Father have Hades to throw sinners souls into, before they are thrown into Hell? Why would our Father, who shows us so much grace and mercy, have a place to torment peoples souls while they wait to be reunited with their bodies, so then they can be tormented eternally in Hell, both body and soul?

Is our Father really that sadistic? Many preach that He does because He loves us so much. I have actually heard it preached that this is not just love, it is agape love. I have always been told that it is love so deep that we cannot understand it. That’s plain and outright Bull! I get that kind of love. I fully understand love that says, do what I say, or I will get even with you. Thank God I have seen our Father’s love and how forgiving that it really is. Believe me, I live in it each and every day. Thank you Father for Your mercy and Grace! I know that our Father would that all me be saved, 1 Timothy 2:4. I know that our Father teaches us that the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be filled with both good and bad guests when He enters the room, Matthew 22:10. I know that every dead person will be raised to be at the Marriage Supper, Revelation 20:12-14.

The Holy Spirit has really begun to show me that Hades isn’t a place of our Father’s revenge, but a place of His correction. It is a place that our Father uses to show people that they should care for others and a place that changes people. This falls into line with our Father corrects and disciplines all that He loves, Hebrews 12:6. Our Father loves the rich ruler every bit as much as He loves His children. Our Father disciplines us and He disciplines the guests as well, because He loves us all and is unwilling to be without any of us. Our Father wants to spend eternity with all of us, and the Truth is Hades is a tool that allows His will to be fulfilled.

Lose Your Reward, But Still Saved?????

The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward. But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15

Jesus is the foundation that created everything. Jesus created it all, whether we can see it or we can’t. Jesus is the foundation of everything that is!

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). Colossians 1:16-17

We know that peoples sinful works will be burned up. Thank God that they will. Thank God that murder, envy, strife, lying, rape, adultery, stealing, and every other crap thing will be burned up. But the Truth for the Bride of Christ is that this cleansing has already happened to us.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. John 5:24

Only the guests of the Bride are judged on the Day of Christ, Revelation 20:11-15 & Matthew 22:11-13. But notice the glorious Truth that we are shown in 1 Corinthians 3, sure these guests will lose rewards, but they will still be saved from being thrown into Hell. Read in Revelation 20 how only the dead are judged on the Day of Christ. Revelation 20 never says that the living are judged on this day, but only that the dead are judged. Then notice how we are told that the dead came up out of Hades, a place of torment. These people lost everything that they thought was good, their sinful works were burned up, they passed through the fire. But amen they are allowed to stay as guests of the Bride and Groom. They will bow their knees and they will confess that Jesus is Lord and they will not be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Does Our Father Get His Way?

For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Let me ask you a simple question, does our Father get His way? The Holy Spirit tells us plainly here that our Father wishes all men to be saved. We pray all of the time, Father your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus prayed, Father, not My will, but Your will be done. The Bible teaches us in, Colossians 1:16, that all things exist by our Father and through our Father. So once again, ask yourself, does our Father get what He wishes for?

We are told plainly that our Father wishes for all men to be saved and when you understand the parable of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Matthew 22, you can see how this wish of our Father is going to be fulfilled. Some of us are going to be the Bride of Christ. Some of us are going to be the guests of the Bride and Groom. So all will be saved from the Lake of Fire. All will believe and confess that Jesus is Lord. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess this Truth and our Father’s will, will be done!

But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15

The guests of the Bride and Groom will not be the Bride. They will lose their reward of being the Bride, but they will not be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be destroyed. They will be saved, but only as ones who have passed through Hades, the realm of the dead. They will pass through a place that the Bride never will, because through Christ, we have passed from death to life already!

The Really Cool Truth of the Parable of the Ten Virgins

THEN THE kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Matthew 25:1

The Parable of the Ten Virgins is such a great illustration of our Kingdom and the victory of our Father. The first thing that always gets me excited when I read this parable is that five of the ten virgins were prepared. How cool is that? Jesus tells us that (50%) of the virgins were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, Matthew 25:4. That should just make you shout for joy, half of those who will see the Bridegroom come will be the Bride!

There is going to be a ton of people who are chosen to be the Bride of Christ during the end times. Look at what Revelation 7:9 teaches us.

After this I looked and a vast host appeared which no one could count, [gathered out] of every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages. These stood before the throne and before the Lamb; they were attired in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

When John asked an Elder of Heaven who all of these people were, he was told that these are those who came out of the Great Tribulation as the Bride, Revelation 7:14. This parable is so often used to talk about the five foolish virgins, but what gets lost in all of that kind of teaching is that half of the people around who see Jesus return will be born again and be the Bride. This is such an awesome Truth about how many of us have been chosen by our Father to be one with Jesus.

Death Is Really Weak

He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24

For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit, 1 Peter 3:18

Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great [kings and rulers], and He shall divide the spoil with the mighty, because He poured out His life unto death, and [He let Himself] be regarded as a criminal and be numbered with the transgressors; yet He bore [and took away] the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors (the rebellious). Isaiah 53:12

Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); Galatians 3:13

On the Cross our Father allowed every sin, except Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, to be placed upon Jesus. Jesus bore the sins of the many. He bore Murder, Rape, Lying, Adultery, Stealing, Unbelief, Kidnapping, and every other act that is sin was placed upon our Lord. Jesus took them all, right along with every sickness and disease. He was the Just and He took it all for the unjust and His soul was thrown into Hades carrying all of that sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be counted as a sinner and man did He take on the sin.

Now here is the Truth of this that should bring us all peace that passes understanding, Death and Hades still couldn’t hold Jesus soul, even though He was carrying all of that sin. Jesus just didn’t take on a little sin, He bore every sin, meaning He allowed every sin, other than Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, to be placed upon His Soul.

So why couldn’t death hold Jesus? The answer is grace, our Father would not let Jesus’ soul see corruption. Love, the Love of our Father brought Jesus back. Our Father showed us that death is not strong enough or powerful enough to stop Him from having eternal fellowship with His children. Our Father showed us that His love for us is stronger than sin. Our Father showed us that He is unwilling to be without us and that His power is the strength that sets us free. It’s not our works, our faith, our righteousness, our love, or our hope, it’s all our Father’s. If God wouldn’t let Jesus stay dead and in Hades when He was filled with so much sin, He sure won’t let any others stay there either. Our sin doesn’t even begin to measure up to the sin that Jesus allowed to be placed on Himself.

The glorious Truth is that some of us will be saved by marriage, we will be the Bride of Christ, and some of us will be saved by being summoned and brought to the Marriage Supper as guests of the Bride. But wether as a Bride or as a guest, our Father will not let His beloved creation see eternal corruption.

Great Gifts For The Guests Of The Bride

For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14

The Bible tells us that when our Father comes and judgment happens that everyone who has ever lived, both good and bad, Matthew 22:10, will be there. Everyone who has ever been born will be there at the Wedding Feast, some of us as the Bride and the rest as guests, most of the guest will stay, at least one will be cast out, but everyone will be there when our Father enters the room. So this part of the parable of The Marriage Supper has to stand for something else, because Jesus tells us that many, not all are called. Jesus has to be speaking of those who have been called to be part of the Bride of Christ before His Millennial Reign. Not everyone will be called to be part of the Bride and out of the many who are called, only a few are chosen to be the Bride.

Think of the parts of the world that for centuries have never heard of Jesus. Think of the billions of people who have died that never heard the Gospel preached to them. Think of all the people who have heard it and rejected it. When you consider all of these people, it only makes sense that only a few of us, out of these billions of people, will be chosen. But the glorious Truth is that does not mean for a second that those who weren’t ever called or chosen to be the Bride of Christ, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. There will be many guests who are allowed to stay with the Bride and Groom for all of eternity. These people will be served night and day by us and it will be a glorious life for them. It will not be a life as one with Jesus, but it will be a glorious life none the less.

Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. Revelation 21:3-4

Those who are called and chosen will be the Bride, we will be one with Jesus, we will no longer be men, we will be as Jesus is, 1 John 3:2. These verses in Revelation are not talking about the Bride of Christ, but they are talking about the gifts that the guests of the wedding receive from the Father of Groom. So not a bad way to spend eternity is it? There will be no death for the guests who are allowed to stay, no fear, no anguish, no sorrow, and no mourning and everything will be provided by God as He is living right there with them.

The Holy Spirit tells us that we rule and reign with Jesus, our Groom, for all of eternity. The body does not rule and reign over itself. The arm does not rule the lungs and the lungs do not rule the feet. Body parts are all one and we are now and forevermore the one Body of Christ. So there has to be people that we rule and reign over, these people are the guests that Jesus talks about in this parable.

The guests that are allowed to stay and live forever in the Marriage Supper are those who did not commit the only unforgivable sin, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Isn’t this parable great?

There Is A Hell

Then the king said to the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Matthew 22:13

There will be those whose names will not be in the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Lately I have heard a lot of people saying and teaching that there is not a Hell. The Bible teaches us that there is a Hell. But remember in this parable of the Wedding Feast, Jesus only mentions a very small amount of people will be cast out of the very, very, full Wedding Supper of the Lamb. The glorious Truth is that far more people will be left on the earth as guests of the Bride, then will be cast into Hell. There is also another glorious Truth, those who are cast into Hell will consume away as smoke and there will not even be a coal of fire to warm yourself by, Psalm 37:20, Malachi 4:1, and Isaiah 47:14.

And if anyone's [name] was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15

The people who are cast into the Lake of Fire will simply cease to be, they will not suffer eternally as I was taught as a child. Look at 1 Thessalonians 1:9. The Holy Spirit teaches us that these people will be cast out of the presence, glory, and power of the Lord. Think about that, isn't our Father omnipotent? So the only way to be out of His presence is to not be at all. There is a Hell and we know for sure that at least one person will be cast into it and when he is, he will simply cease to be. Just like death and Hades will cease to be, so will those who are cast into the Lake of Fire.

I hope that it is just one person as Jesus taught in this parable of the Marriage Supper. It is my earnest prayer that only one person will ever commit Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and that the rest of humanity will be able to be forgiven. We may not all be Jesus' Bride, but amen, let's have a huge wedding and have billions upon billions of guests!

Who Get's Thrown Into The Lake of Fire?

And he said, Friend, how did you come in here without putting on the [appropriate] wedding garment? And he was speechless ([muzzled, gagged). Matthew 22:12

When our Father comes to the Wedding Supper He judges the guests of the wedding. Everyone who has ever lived is at the Wedding Feast at this time and Jesus tells us that all of the guests are judged by the King. Notice that God does not judge the Bride when He comes, He judges the guests. Also notice that out of a room full of guests, our Father only finds one person that is not worthy to be there. If it were such a given that so many people are to be thrown into the Lake of Fire, why wouldn’t Jesus have said the King found many who were not appropriately dressed? We are shown in Revelation that when God comes to the earth, everyone who has ever lived is here and yet Jesus only says that God found one who was not worthy to stay.

This is a great topic to study. I have always been taught that far more of us will be thrown into the Lake of Fire than won’t be thrown into it. Yet Jesus doesn’t allude to that in this parable at all and Jesus used this parable to tell us what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus tells us here that a very small amount of people are thrown out of the Wedding Feast. Jesus does tell us that there are people who will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, but He doesn’t tell us that it is a majority of the guests at the Wedding Feast or even many of the guests at the Wedding Supper.

There is only one unforgivable sin according the Bible and that sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The people who commit this sin will have no defense and they will be unable to defend their actions that took the attention away from the Holy Spirit and directed it towards themselves and man. This is why Jesus tells us in the parable that the man was speechless.

And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Matthew 12:31

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 1 John 5:16-17

There is only one sin that leads to death and that sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has John write that there are sins that do not lead to death and those sins are every other sin other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Every sin can be forgiven except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. So what is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? This sin is when people in positions of power over the people try to have the people rely on themselves and not on God. It is the sin of anti-christ. It is the sin of people believing and persuading others to believe and put their trust in man and not in God. It is the sin that puts trust in the works of man. Look at who is guilty of it in Matthew 7:22-24

Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

These people all took the credit for what they did. They did the works in Jesus’ name, but they are anti-christ. They proclaim what they did, not what Christ did through them. They credited the works of our Father to man and themselves and not to the Holy Spirit; they blasphemed the Holy Spirit. This sin is unforgivable. Yet this sin is also very, and I do mean very difficult, to commit. Look at the Jewish Leaders who lied about Jesus, tried to discredit His works, they tried to say satan was doing the works that the Holy Spirit was doing through the Disciples, and had Jesus killed, and Jesus still forgave them. So this is an incredibly rare sin and while Jesus tells us that it will be committed, in this parable Jesus only refers to one who has.

All other sin does not lead to being thrown into the Lake of Fire, or death. I know how that sounds, believe me, I know how that sounds. But look at what happens at the end of the Millennial Reign, every human that has ever lived will be raised up to be a the Wedding Feast. The books are opened, it is plain for us to see what every one has ever done. As we see these things, we will ask for their forgiveness and they will be forgiven. We will ask for everyone who has not committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit to be forgiven and they will be and they will eternally be alive for us to serve and rule and reign over. These people will never be the Bride of Christ, but they will be eternally the guests of the Bride. This Truth should bring you great peace and joy!

To help you grasp the reality of how many are permitted to be the eternal guests of the Bride and Groom of Christ, I want you to think about Jesus and His life here on the earth. The Word teaches us that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Hebrews 13:8. When Jesus was here who did He sternly rebuke? Was it the adulterous woman, the tax collectors, the notable sinners, the prostitute, or was it the Pharisees and Scribes? Who does Jesus tell us to beware of, the sinners or the wolves in sheep’s clothing, who are false religious leaders, Matthew 7:15? Jesus provided for and constantly forgave and had compassion for the sinners, yet He openly rebuked and went after those religious people who were close to committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will not change, these are the same people who will be thrown out of the Wedding Supper into the Lake of Fire. The people who are thrown out of the Wedding Supper are the people who complained that Jesus was with the notable sinners.

When Jesus was being crucified what did He do? He forgave those who were doing it, right? When the disciples asked Jesus, how often do we forgive, Jesus said to them seventy times seven times. Jesus never changes and He will not change when the books are opened to judge the guests. Jesus plainly tells us us in this parable that only one was found by our Father who could not stay at the Wedding Supper. And the one found unworthy is the ones who committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, we know this because every other sin does not lead to death. We will intercede and forgive every sin, other than blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, so that a majority of the guests will be allowed to stay.

So how can the Word say that there will be no murderers, or sorcerers, or witches, or adulterers in the Kingdom of Heaven?

But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)--[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8

There will be none of these people in the Kingdom because all of these sins will be forgiven. Yet for those who committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, they will have their part in the Lake of Fire. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are cowards and ignoble. They are unbelieving and faithless. They are defiled with abominations and lewd and practicers of magic arts, the trust in man and not in God. They are liars and they knowingly convey untruth. Look at the Pharisees and Scribes. They were cowards of the Romans. They saw marvelous things and yet did not believe and they had no faith. They were murderers and practiced things that were definitely not of God and they knowingly conveyed untruths. Those who commit blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will have their part in the Lake of Fire, but as for the rest of the sinners, their sin does not lead to death. So they are permitted to stay eternally at the Wedding Feast because their sins will be forgiven.

When Our Father Comes There Will Be A Ton Of Forgiveness!

But when the king came in to view the guests, he looked intently at a man there who had on no wedding garment. Matthew 22:11

Remember in this parable that the King is God. Revelation 20:11 shows us our Father coming to the Marriage Supper of the Bride.

Then I saw a great white throne and the One Who was seated upon it, from Whose presence and from the sight of Whose face earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

When our Father comes to the Marriage Supper, every human that was ever born will be there. The dead are raised up to be here with Him and all of us who are alive are with Him. This is why Jesus told us that the room was filled with both good and bad.

I [also] saw the dead, great and small; they stood before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. And the dead were judged (sentenced) by what they had done [their whole way of feeling and acting, their aims and endeavors] in accordance with what was recorded in the books. And the sea delivered up the dead who were in it, death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done [according to their motives, aims, and works]. Revelation 20:12-13

Notice here in Revelation that we are told that only the dead are judged, not that the living are judged. We are also shown that that the Bride is not judged here; we are only shown that the dead are judged. I want you to ask yourself this question, why does our Father raise up the dead souls and reunite them with their bodies? Ask yourself this as well, is our Father the same yesterday, today, and forever? How many times does Jesus teach us to forgive? Did Jesus set the captives free from Hades when He went there for the 3 days following His crucifixion?

The answers all have to deal with the guests. Jesus forgave those in Hades when He went there and He set them free, 1 Peter 3. These souls that we are shown in Revelation 20 are raised and reunited to be with their bodies to be our guests for eternity. Our Father never changes and He tells us to forgive 70 times 7 times. We pray in the Lord's prayer to forgive and that is what is done here when these people are raised up. All of peoples sin's shall be forgiven them except one, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 12:31.

There is a Lake of Fire, a Hell, and we will be shown in the next verses that at least one person will be thrown into it. So at least one person will commit this unforgivable sin of Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. But for the rest of the guests who don't commit the only unforgivable sin, their sins shall be forgiven them and they will be blessed for eternity as our Wedding guests!
