The End of the Captivity to Sin and Satan, Part 13

  • | Chris McCann

I would like to just mention first, and then we will move on, how it is possible that 200 million are judging the world at this time. We wonder how this is. But God gave us this number. He is the One who said that 200 million were bound in Babylon. These are the ones who are loosed, these are the ones who will slay the third part of men, and God has given us this number. This identifies with May 21 and this identifies with the 6100 days of the “latter rain,” which ended on May 21. On this day or just prior to this day, God loosed all these people and saved them all over the world. How can they accomplish God’s purpose and His task of being an army?

By the way, take a look at Joel 2. This had been identified with the locusts and it was identified correctly; but, actually, this seems to fit the 200 million just as well. It says in Joel 2:1-10:

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble…

This word for “tremble” is also the word for “quake.” It continues:

…let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of JEHOVAH cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth…

We see here fire and brimstone language. It continues:

…the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

This is referring to the 200 million horsemen. It continues:

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

By the way, Christ comes “as a thief in the night.” His people are judging the world with Him, so we also are likened to coming “as a thief.” It continues:

The earth shall quake before them…

The great earthquake opens up the prison doors or it looses the prisoners who were bound. Again, God is making reference to the great earthquake of May 21. It continues:

…the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

This is what immediately happened after the great tribulation, immediately.

So God is tying in these horsemen who are coming in battle array like a war. They are all marching in unison and they are coming to accomplish His purpose of bringing fire and brimstone or judgment on the world.

Then it says in Joel 2:11:

And JEHOVAH shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of JEHOVAH is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

So here are these 200 million.

There is another reference in Ezekiel 37 with the valley of dry bones. It is interesting language here. I will read from verse 4. It says in Ezekiel 37:4-10:

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of JEHOVAH. Thus saith the Lord JEHOVAH unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am JEHOVAH. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking [or an earthquake], and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord JEHOVAH; Come from the four winds [where the four angels were], O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

This is speaking of the great multitude, the 200 million. Here is a quaking, a shaking, and then these bones come to life. They stand upon their feet, “an exceeding great army.”

The great earthquake of May 21 did happen. Spiritually, God shook the foundations of Satan’s kingdom and He loosed all of the prisoners, every single one who was elect. They were loosed. How God views them is that they are like an army now marching forth, “an exceeding great army.”

But what is the reality? The reality is that these 200 million are in Africa and in India and in China and in Turkey. They are in Muslim countries. They are around the world and they are not getting together with these other 200 million. We cannot get together with them. We do not know who was saved and who was not saved.

So how are we going to have this perfect unity? How are we all going to march forward like an army, bringing fire and brimstone, and make the Garden of Eden before us like a desolate, burnt wilderness? How is this going to happen?

Look at this from God’s perspective. He just saved 200 million people. What would He normally do if this were any other period in history? What would He do with these 200 million? Would they not be involved in the Great Commission, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”? They would also normally be involved in warning about death and warning about Judgment Day, warning that time is short. They would be bringing the Gospel message also that God saves, that He does all of the work in salvation, that it is all by His faith and not by the faith of man.

The big difference, however, is that God is not saving now, no one anywhere in the world; and so there really is no point in bringing a message to everyone who is already under judgment. We brought the Gospel message in order that God might bless His Word and that He might spark an individual to life through the seed of His Word, that it might take root in their heart and that fruit might come forth.

But now this is not happening. All of those whom God saved already have a new heart. Every single one of them already has a new born-again soul. Yet there is one way that God can use all 200 million, even without their knowledge of it and, in essence, accomplish His purpose of bringing fire and brimstone.

Look at John 1:50-51. Jesus is speaking to Nathaniel. It says:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Again, the word “angels” is “messengers.” This is not speaking of spirit beings. This is not talking about those angels who are in Heaven and who minister to the heirs of salvation. This is talking about God’s people.

When God saves a sinner, and this is how it has been all throughout history, it is immediately as though they ascended into the heavenlies to be seated at the right hand of God. But just as immediately, they were dispatched from Heaven as a messenger back to earth, back in their same corrupt body, back into who they are. No one can tell that this person just became saved and was just commissioned by God to be a worker and a servant of His in carrying His message. They become a messenger of the Gospel. God has done this all throughout history to varying degrees.

Why were so many people stirred up prior to May 21 to get the Word out? Who did this? Family Radio has been on the air for fifty plus years, and yet we never saw anything like this. Who stirred them up? God did. He moves in His people “to will and to do of his good pleasure.” He moved them to bring this message to the world as messengers, which is all that we are. We are doorkeepers. We are servants. This is a humble job, but thank God if we qualify for it by His grace.

So, immediately, God saves someone. Then all of a sudden this person prior to May 21 starts listening and realizes, “There are only a few months left, but I have to play a part in this. I need to be obedient to God.”

I know that we were meeting all kinds of new people. After only one month or two months or three months, it seemed that they were saved and they were out there almost right away getting this message out. This is because this was God’s will and His plan to send forth the warning message that Judgment Day would be May 21.

He could do this now. He has 200 million now at His disposal. He can move in them. This does not take anyone but God. He could have all of these 200 million start handing out tracts and warning everyone in sight, if He wanted to.

The fact that Family Radio stopped the sending forth of the Gospel, warning about October 21, has nothing to do with the media and embarrassment. It has zero to do with this. It has nothing to do with the church’s perspective of Family Radio and its listeners as being heretics and that we are somehow too embarrassed to take a stack of tracts and go down to City Hall by the Clothespin in Philadelphia.

Maybe initially there was some confusion, but we can be sure that God is not going to allow this. God’s people have already taken a lot of abuse and a lot of criticism from the media and from the church leading up to May 21.

Did this stop anyone? Did caring what people thought stop anyone? Did we care? Do we really care now? No. We would put the shirts back on and the hats back on and we would take some tracts out with us. We would continue even now, if this were God’s will.

We were not silenced. We were not put to death. We were victorious. God was victorious. He won a great victory on May 21. He ransacked the kingdom of Satan, and Satan was powerless to do anything about it. God officially stripped the title of ruler from Satan in the churches. Satan is nothing now.

So none of these things would have stopped the believers at all. But, you see, angels or messengers of God have ascended and descended upon the Son of Man all throughout history. Now God has 200 million. All He has to do is move in them through His Word and they will do His bidding, and they are because Christ stopped it there. He did not dispatch 200 million into the world. He is not sending them forth to bring the Gospel message, which is in recognition that the ground has been destroyed by fire and brimstone, spiritually. Fire and brimstone has destroyed the whole earth. We do not sow on ground destroyed by fire and brimstone.

Look at Matthew 13. In the first few verses, we read of the parable of the sower. Then we read of Christ’s explanation. This is found in verse 18, and so we read in Matthew 13:18-22:

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon [or immediately] with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

In relation to sowing seed, we repeatedly see references to the Word of God. This is the seed of the Gospel, the spiritual seed.

Look at Isaiah 55:10-11:

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Again, the Word is sown and the sowing of seed is like the Word of God.

Turn to Deuteronomy 29. We read in Deuteronomy 29:23:

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth…

This word for “beareth” is the same word that is translated “bud” in Isaiah 55:10 where it says, “It bring forth and bud.” It is the same Hebrew word.

So this says that the land is not sown. We are not supposed to throw our seed on land that has been destroyed by fire and brimstone.

Do you remember what happened on Mount St. Helens? It was quite awhile before they could do anything with that land in the surrounding area because the lava flowed. This just destroyed the possibility of sowing seed for some time and of bringing forth fruit.

God is not sending forth these 200 million. He is not commissioning them. He saved them and the instructions are, “Feed them. Feed My sheep.” They are likened to sheep. In this case, they are not likened to an army, and yet they are an army. They are “an exceeding great army.” They are 200 million strong who God could greatly work with in just richly blessing the whole earth, except He cannot because the Day of Judgment has come and He is bringing judgment upon the whole world and the world is not to be sown. We are not to bring the Gospel message in this sense anymore.

Let us go back to Psalm 11:6:

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone…

In relation to the word “snares,” let us go to Joshua 23:13:

Know for a certainty that JEHOVAH your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which JEHOVAH your God hath given you.

Turn also to Job 18. In Job 18, we will find this same Hebrew word used there. We read in Job 18:5-10:

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

“Gin” is this same word.

So the unsaved, the wicked man, is being snared by a trap. In one place, it takes him by the heel, like those traps that are placed out in the jungle. It can catch someone’s foot and they would be hanging there by a tree. They are caught.

What is the snare? We can understand fire and brimstone, but what about raining snares? We can understand fire and brimstone. Yes; God is bringing judgment. The door to Heaven is shut. But what is the snare?

Well, nothing happened! Nothing happened on May 21! This not only snared the world, the media, and the churches – because to those in the church, it is a joke because nothing happened – but it also snared many of you and me. At first, this was a snare to many of us.

There were people out there who were getting the Gospel message out that May 21 would be Judgment Day. We were sharing this, but then we thought that nothing happened. Well, something did happen. God saved all of His people. This is not a little thing. This is not a little thing at all. This is a tremendous thing. This is why the earthquake is described as “so mighty an earthquake, and so great.” It was so great and so mighty that the world has never seen anything like this. This is because God set all of His people free. Yet there are some people who do not see this.

If you do not see this and if you think that nothing happened, then this is taking you like a snare. If you are still sowing the Gospel, if you are still encouraging people to bring the Gospel because perhaps God might save a person today, you are, first of all, not recognizing that the ground is under fire and brimstone. This means that you are denying Judgment Day. You are denying what God did on May 21. God laid a trap that only He could lay.

Take a look at Psalm 91: 3:

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Turn to Psalm 124:7:

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Look at Proverbs 7:23:

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Turn to Ecclesiastes 9:12:

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

This is speaking of a trap and being caught. This happened on May 21.

This is just like when Jesus went to the cross. As they looked at Him, they did not see anything. They thought that He would be a king who would deliver Israel. How disappointed they were. To them, nothing happened on the cross except that Christ was killed. This is what the world thought. Then the church at that time said to the Roman authorities that they wanted a guard posted at His grave because “that deceiver said…”

This was the line that the church of that day gave concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. They called Him a deceiver. In essence, they were saying that it was a lie and that He was not going to rise from the dead, “See, He did not come down from the cross. He was a man just like anyone else.” Yet this tableau was the greatest victory that the Kingdom of Heaven had ever seen.

But even the believers fell for this. Even the disciples were cast down and thinking that they had trusted that He would be this great Messiah. Yet He was, and so Christ had to correct them.

Did the world ever correct its thinking about what happened on the cross? Did the Jews? No; up until this day, they deny that anything happened on the cross. So, too, when God snared the world on Judgment Day, May 21.

Do not get your information from the news media as to what happened. Certainly, do not listen to the churches as to what happened. Listen to what the Bible says, and God tells us what happened. It was the greatest victory that the Kingdom of Heaven has ever seen outside of what Christ has done.

Look at Luke 21:34-35:

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares [or suddenly]. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

How was it a snare when we were telling everyone that Judgment Day would be May 21 and the world took note? There were groups of concerned individuals who gathered together to see what was going to happen over in New Zealand early that morning, and then they threw some beer in there because God tells us that “the misery of man is great upon him,” and so God allows for man to have some alcohol to deal with his misery; and this misery is the judgment and wrath of God; and so May 21 came and went and it was a snare, a trap.

Since God is saying in Psalm 11:6:

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone…

This means that we also look at the fire and brimstone as a spiritual thing. This is because, obviously, traps are not falling from the sky. Snares or gins for the fowler are not falling. Neither is literal fire and brimstone falling. But fire and brimstone has everything to do with the judgment of God.

Let us go back to the book of Revelation and look at chapter 14. It says in Revelation 14:7-8:

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

“Babylon is fallen” is a key phrase and this points to May 21, Judgment Day. This is when Babylon fell. This happened historically after seventy years and spiritually at the end of the 23-year great tribulation.

Then we read in Revelation 14:9-10:

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone…

This speaks of those who worshipped the beast.

Turn to Revelation 15:1-2:

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels [or messengers] having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name…

So, first of all, these seven messengers got the victory through Christ. They are going to be the seven who pour out the seven last plagues in Revelation 16, which identifies with this five-month period. This is also speaking of all those whom God saved. The rest receive the “mark of the beast.” They end up worshipping his image and they end up drinking of the cup of His wrath.

Let us also take a look at few verses dealing with the cup. We read in Psalm 75:8:

For in the hand of JEHOVAH there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Jeremiah 25 refers to this cup. We read in Jeremiah 25:15-18:

For thus saith JEHOVAH God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. Then took I the cup at JEHOVAH'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom JEHOVAH had sent me: To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

Then it goes on to refer to many nations. Then we read in Jeremiah 25:28-29:

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith JEHOVAH of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith JEHOVAH of hosts.

So God began with Jerusalem, which points to the churches. They drank for 23 years, and it was all spiritual. We know this for certain because God’s wrath was poured out on the churches and congregations as He removed Himself and as He removed salvation from them and as He set up Satan; and yet they were drinking of the cup. Then He says that the rest of the inhabitants of the world will also drink of this cup.

We should not think that this would be any different, because it will be spiritual. It is the spiritual fire and brimstone. It is the removal of salvation and the removal of God’s people in sowing seed upon the land in the world.

There is one other place in the New Testament to look at in relation to this in Matthew 26. I think that this is mentioned twice and then referred to a third time. This is when Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane. We read in Matthew 26:39:

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

He prayed this three times, “Let this cup pass from me,” the cup of judgment, the cup of God’s wrath.

So Psalm 11:6 says again:

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone…

And this is the portion of their cup.

Revelation 14 speaks of the wicked, the unsaved, who are given the cup of God’s anger and that they are tormented; and we know that this torment will last for five months, not for ever and ever and ever. We read in Revelation 14:10 that they are:

…tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Notice this language:

…in the presence of the holy angels…

We just went over the word “angel.” The word “angel” is the word “messenger.” It was context that determined how the translators translated this word as either “angel” or as “messenger.” Here, they thought that obviously when judgment occurred that it would not be upon the earth, and so it would be in the presence of angelic beings. This is what the translators must have thought and this is why they translated this as “angels.”

But they are called “the holy angels,” so let us look at this word “holy” in 1 Corinthians 6. This word “angel” we know could be “messenger,” so this could be referring to “holy messengers,” but we find out a little bit more of how this word ”holy” is used here. This word for “holy” is hagios in the Greek. This is either translated as “holy” or as “saints.” We read in 1 Corinthians 6:1-2:

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints [or the holy ones]? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

So here God is very definitely letting us know that the saints are these holy ones or those Corinthians or they are you, the true believer. You are going to judge the world; but not only the world, because look at verse 3, 1 Corinthians 6:3:

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

One of the last plagues that the seven angels or messengers pour out is poured out “upon the seat of the beast.” We know that the “man of sin” took his seat to rule, and these seven angels or messengers are pouring out a plague on that seat of the beast. Now we know how and why, because he has lost his official rule by God. God stripped this from him, and he is no longer ruling in the churches.

This judgment of God falls directly on an angel, the fallen angel Satan, and he now is deposed. He is put down. The language of the Bible says that he is dead. This is one of the judgments that come at this time; and so we are not only judging the world, we are judging angels, too, Satan and his evil minions, the demons, which are just fallen angels.

Remember that they were afraid of torment. They said to Jesus, “Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?” Very definitely, God is tormenting Satan and the fallen angels, and this torment upon Satan must be great because he is so proud. He is so, so proud and he was proudly sitting upon his throne.

Remember Haman the adversary to the Jews and how proud he was whenever the king would lift him up and give him a little authority and power. This perfectly pictures Satan, as even Haman was called “the adversary,” which is the name for Satan. This is where the name of Satan comes from in the Hebrew.

So here God tells us that the saints will judge the world. Now look at Ephesians 5. We are still looking at the word “holy,” which is also translated as “saint” oftentimes. We read in Ephesians 5:3:

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

And we read in 1 Thessalonians 3:13:

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

He is coming with the saints.

Another very familiar verse is Jude 1:14:

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

This is the completeness of His saints, 200 million of His saints. He is judging the world. He is coming in judgment with the completeness of all of His elect. He is pouring out fire and brimstone, the cup of wrath for all of the unsaved people, in the presence or right before the face of His holy or saintly messengers, the holy angels, and “in the presence of the Lamb.”

Of course, God is everywhere, and so He does not have to be in Heaven for Him to judge mankind. He does not have to be in Heaven because He is everywhere present, and He is judging the world presently.

Every time we listen to Family Radio and we do not hear what we have been hearing for years, we should recognize that this is honoring and glorifying God, because it would go contrary to God for anyone to start trying to indicate that people could still be saved. No; not when there is fire and brimstone falling.

Let us go to Matthew 25. Matthew 25:31 says:

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels [saintly messengers] with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

This is an important phrase.

Let us now go back to Matthew 19. This will explain to us who the “holy angels” are. We read in Matthew 19:27-28:

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Christ sits upon “the throne of his glory.” Who are these “holy angels”? They are the disciples and all of God’s people. Remember that they are seated also “in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” to judge the “twelve tribes,” which would be a reference to the churches.

This is what is going on right now. We are just sharing what God is teaching in His Word, and it is a judgment upon “the twelve tribes of Israel,” upon the corporate body and the churches of the world.

Let us go to one last verse. Going back to Matthew 25, the “holy angels” are with the Son of Man and He is seated “upon the throne of his glory,” and then we read in Matthew 25:32-33:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

We are presently feeding sheep. God right now is setting goats on the left and the sheep on the right. This is because He intends to feed the sheep, while the goats are coming under His wrath. The believers are there with Him, these 200 million whom God has saved, those whom God has loosed; and yet God has not sent forth in any way to bring a message of salvation, because it is over.

Let us stop here.
