The End of All Trouble

What will bring about the end of all trouble?

World War I was the largest war in history when it occurred and it was touted as "the war to end all wars".   However World War I did not end all wars but instead of made World War II all but inevitable.  World War II eclipsed World War I in the number of countries involved, the level of destruction where it was fought, the number of people killed and the power of its weapons.  The weapons produced in World War II were so destructive that it ushered in the Cold War where the main players who possessed nuclear weapons dared not confront each other directly due to a condition called MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction).  Instead they constantly fought each other indirectly in places like Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Honduras, and Afghanistan.

The end of the Cold War did not usher in an era of peace.   The various countries that had been forced to pick a side, enforce internal peace with the aid of their allies and cooperate with each other during the Cold War no longer had the power nor the incentive to due so after the Cold War ended.

The era of the Islamic Wars had already started when Iraq attacked Kuwait in 1990 even while the Soviet Union was still collapsing between when the Berlin Wall was destroyed in 1989 and the Cold War came to a complete end in 1991.  There has been nothing but continual growth of these Islamic Wars since that time.  The Islamic Wars do not have nuclear weapons or MAD but instead are often waged as acts of terrorism like those against the US on September 11, 2001 by non-government entities like Al-Qaeda.  The Islamic Wars have grown to the point that there are currently more countries engage in armed conflict across the globe than any time in history except World War I and World War II.  The Islamic Wars all involve Muslims. In many cases, like Syria at the time of this writing, an Islamic war consists of Muslims terrorists, Muslim revolutionaries and a Muslim government all at war with each other.  None of these Muslim factions have any regard for the lives of the civilian population.

So this begs the question: How can there ever be an end of all trouble?

In like manner, there has been a war waged against disease over the last century.  This war has been waged primarily by doctors in western Europe and the United States.  There have been some great victories like the polio vaccine.  Yet newer and deadlier diseases like AIDS have risen up to take their place.  As new drugs are created to fight old illnesses often new strains of those illnesses that are resistant to these drugs appear.  There is the constant threat of a new pandemic that could destroy a large percentage of the population of the Earth.  No matter how much money and time people pour into medical research the war against disease never lets up and is never won.

Again the question arises:  Can there ever be an end of all trouble?

Hunger has continued to plague the human race despite the valiant efforts of many to end it.  The amount of food produced globally has grown to the point that seventeen percent more food is grown than is needed to feed the entire human race but at the same time world hunger has also grown, particularly in Africa.  People starve to death in some places while people have more food than they can eat in other places.  There are many organizations that try to get food to the starving but they are often blocked from bringing food to the people by the governments of the countries where the starving people are.  In some cases this is because the governments fear that the food aid is cover for some sort of covert activity against the government.  These fears are not entirely unfounded since there have been cases of guns and ammo being smuggled in containers of rice and other staple foods.  In other cases the government simply does not want the starving fed because they are trying to kill off a population that they hate in a quiet genocide under the guise of famine.

So even when there is enough food to feed everyone but people are still starving the question remains:  Will there ever be an end to all trouble?

There has been a constant rise in social problems in the United States and many other countries since the 1960s.  The divorce rate is about 50% in these countries and has only recently been lowered because so many young people are living together instead of ever getting married because they do not want to have to deal with a divorce.  Gay marriage has been made the law of some states in attempt to legitimize homosexuality.  The pornography industry has continued to grow even as it morphs to take advantage of new technology that is hard to regulate.  Gambling is no longer confined to a few places in the United States like Las Vegas but is now part of the business of 43 state governments in the form of lotteries.  Every Native American group competes to have the biggest casino on their land.  Standardized test scores show that each generation is less well educated than the previous one.  The alien is oppressed under a system that allows people to hire people for illegally low wages and then threaten to deport them unless they work long hours without any benefits.  The medical system is overtaxed with these and other uninsured people.  This is the condition of the United States and it is still far better off than any other country. 

So if it is like that for the most prosperous country in the history of the Earth what hope is there for anyone?  What could bring about the end of all trouble?

Human effort has failed to bring about the end of all trouble.  Things have gotten worse instead of better.  The good news is that there will come a day that will bring about the end of all trouble.

The end of all trouble is pictured in the last scene of the seventh act of The Greatest Play Ever.  The seventh act is called Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles aka the Feast of Booths aka the Ingathering) and it starts with people being gathered together to build booths to dwell together in unity  (Leviticus 23:40-43).  After seven days of dwelling together in unity then there is one last gathering together at the end of the seventh act to bring about the end of all trouble as the Grand Finale of the Greatest Play Ever (Leviticus 23:36).  This Grand Finale is also called Simchat Torah  (Rejoicing over the Torah (the Law that the Father of Truth gave Moses)) because it is culmination of rejoicing over all that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has done (Deuteronomy 16:13-15).  This is the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles because it is the Grand Finale of the Greatest Play Ever (John 7:37-39).

The seven days of dwelling together in unity are a picture of people dwelling together in unity when the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) reign with the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) over the entire Earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4-6).  It will be a glorious rest from all the troubles of the past for the human race when the King of Kings reigns (Isaiah 11:9-10).

The entire human race will enjoy an era of justice, peace, health and prosperity because the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) will not be active in the Earth during the entire thousand years of the reign of the King of Kings (Revelation 20:1-3).  He is the one that deceived the entire world (Revelation 12:9).   He is the author of all sickness (Acts 10:38).  Without this troublemaker the world will not know trouble.

While there will not be outward trouble during the Glorious Reign of the King of Kings there will still be trouble in paradise due to the inward condition of the Gentiles.  The Jews will have been changed inwardly so that they only walk in righteousness under the rule of the King of Kings (Isaiah 60:21-22).  All of the troublemakers will have already been purged from Israel (Ezekiel 20:37-38).

However it will be a different story for many of the Gentiles.

The Gentiles will enjoy an era of justice, peace, health and prosperity because the King of Kings will give them no other choice.  During this rest all of the rulers of the Gentile nations will submit to the King of Kings or they will be destroyed (Psalm2:10-12).  Those that refuse to serve him will perish (Isaiah 60:12).  The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) will become the law of the entire Earth (Isaiah 2:3). Anyone that breaks His laws will die (Zechariah 5:3-4).  All of those that openly rebel against his rule will perish while those that submit to him will inherit the Earth (Psalm 37:10-11).

Many of the Gentiles will only be obeying the Father of Truth outwardly to avoid perishing.  They will not be doing what is right because they love him and other people which is the purpose of the laws of the King of Kings (Matthew 22:36-40).  They will not be keeping these laws because they love Him with all of their being and love their neighbor as much as they love themselves (Mark 12:29-31).  They have will not have allowed there to be an inward change that is more important than their outward actions (Mark 12:32-33).  They will be able to fool other people who can only see their outward actions but not He that looks upon their hearts (1 Samuel 16:7).  They will have never really completely submitted to the King of All Kings in total surrender.

The one last gathering together at the end of the seventh act, the Grand Finale, is a picture of the end of all trouble.  The Father of Lies will be released for a short space to deceive and gather together everyone who inwardly despises the rule of the King of Kings (Revelation 20:7-8).  When all of the troublemakers among the Gentiles have been gathered together around Jerusalem then they will be destroyed completely (Revelation 20:9).  All rebels among the Gentiles will have been purged from the Earth.

The end of all trouble will come when the Father of Truth puts an end to all troublemakers.  There can be no trouble when there are no troublemakers as surely as there cannot be any fire without something to burn (Proverbs 26:20).  The Father of Lies will be cast into the Lake of Fire to burn forever so that he can never cause trouble again (Revelation 20:10).  All of the troublemakers that rejected the love of the Father of Truth to follow the Father of Lies, the Children of Lies, will live with him forever in the Lake of Fire so that they can never cause trouble again (Revelation 20:11-15).

After the Grand Finale of the Greatest Play Ever there is a long period of time of unknowable length (due to leap months in some years) that is that finishes out the Biblical year.  In the same way there will be an eternity of joy after the end of all trouble.  Everything will be changed.

There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth with no more oceans to separate people from each other (Revelation 21:1).  This current Earth will be completely forgotten (Isaiah 65:17).  Those that live in the New Earth will remain forever (Isaiah 66:22).  This current universe that has been polluted by sin will be completely destroyed by fire and replaced with a new universe that will never be polluted by sin (2 Peter 3:11-13).  There will never be any more sin for it will be the end of all trouble (Revelation 22:14-15).

The Father of Truth will come down to the New Earth and live among people, both Jews and Gentiles, Himself just as the Man of Truth will have lived among people on this current Earth during the reign of the King of Kings (Revelation 21:2-3).  All of the inhabitants of the New Earth, both Jews and Gentiles, will gather before Him to worship Him continually (Isaiah 66:23).

The Father of Truth  will wipe away every tear from the eyes of those that love Him after the end of all trouble (Revelation 21:4).  They will be blessed because all their trouble will be forgotten like a bad dream (Isaiah 65:16).  There will never again be sorrow in Jerusalem for it is the end of all trouble (Isaiah 65:19).

They will find pleasures forever in His presence (Psalm 16:11).  Since these Jews and Gentiles, the Children of Truth, had put their trust in Him then they will be satisfied and filled with pleasure (Psalm 36:7-9).  These pleasures are beyond anything that people have ever experienced (Isaiah 64:4).  There will be continual rejoicing in Jerusalem (Isaiah 65:18).  These pleasures are beyond the current ability of people to experience but the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) can reveal them in some degree to the Children of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:9-11).  The Children of Truth can only understand to to some degree like they are looking through a dirty window made of fractured glass (1 Corinthians 13:12).

The Father of Truth will make all things new for the Children of Truth (Revelation 21:5-7).  They will each be given a new name that is only known to Him and them (Revelation 2:17).  They will be marked with the new name that will be given to the Man of Truth and live in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 3:12).

The Children of Lies, the troublemakers, will remain in the Lake of Fire forever (Revelation 21:8).  The Children of Truth will be able to see the torment of these troublemakers forever (Isaiah 66:24).  While the Children of Truth will be known forever the names of these troublemakers will not be even remembered (Psalm 34:16).

It will be the end of all trouble.

You do no want to be one of the troublemakers when the end of all trouble comes.  These troublemakers will never have a rest from trouble (Isaiah 57:20-21).

You want to be among those that have came into the House of Truth so that you will inherit the Earth (Matthew 5:5).  You want to be come into the House of Truth where you can learn to love the Father of Truth will all that is in you and you can learn to truly love your neighbor as yourself as required by the Law of Truth (Luke 10:26-28).  It is only those that live their lives by faith in the Word of Truth now that will come into the House of Truth and rejoice at the end of all trouble (Galatians 3:11).  You cannot come into the House of Truth in your own strength no matter how hard you try because nothing good lives in your current body (Romans 7:18).  You will not have a second chance to come into the House of Truth after you die but will instead face certain judgment (Hebrews 9:27).  You will only be in the House of Truth after you die if you have came into the House of Truth and remained there before you died (Revelation 22:10).  You need to come into the House of Truth and submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  You need to come into the House of Truth today so you can rejoice at the end of all trouble (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Come into the House of Truth.

Total Surrender

Do you really know what it takes to be saved?

When the other Allies decided to offered to negotiate with the Central Powers to end World War I, the American General Pershing was furious.  He wanted unconditional surrender - especially from Germany.  He warned, that anything less and the next generation would be back fighting Germany again.

The next generation did indeed come back and fight Germany again in World War II.  This time the Americans were able to convince their European Allies, that the unconditional surrender of Germany was the only option, to prevent the next generation from having to come back to fight Germany in World War III.  So the war did not end in Europe until Germany agreed to unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945.  This was just eight days after their leader, Adolf Hitler, had committed suicide.

Now the European Allies and Russia would be able to help the United States fight against Japan.  The United States had already beaten the Japanese back to their main islands with very little assistance and using only one third of its military.  Japan had no remaining allies, and the US naval blockade doomed it to run out of materials, that would allow it to continue to effectively wage war.   The Japanese were already defeated for all practical purposes, but they still refused to agree to unconditional surrender.

The Emperor, Hirohito, said that Japan would fight to last man, instead of accepting unconditional surrender.  This only changed, when Hirohito realized that the United States had the ability to drop an atomic bomb on Tokyo, vaporizing his entire family, after two atomic bombs were dropped on other cities, and the US decimated Tokyo with conventional bombs.

The reason the Japanese refused unconditional surrender so much longer than Germany, was because for them unconditional surrender meant the end of their entire way of life, that they had maintained for over twenty five hundred years.  Hirohito was the one hundred and twenty fourth emperor of Japan in an unbroken chain of emperors, that went back to 660 BC.  The entirety of Japanese life revolved around the Emperor, and he was revered as God in their religion.  Hirohito believed, that if Japan lost the war, then everyone in Japan would be forced to become Christians.

The Japanese had this view partially, because there had been a long held custom in the Far East, that when people were completely defeated by an enemy, then they had to give up their religion, and take up the religion of those who defeated them.  There were similar customs of the defeated party having to adopt the language, manner of dress, calendar, and virtually every other custom of the victorious party.  So the Japanese believed, that they would have to dress in American clothes, forsake the Japanese language completely, learn to speak, read and write only in English, totally replace their calendar with the Gregorian calendar, stop observing Japanese holidays, start observing different holidays, and basically learn to do everything the American way, including how they cooked their food.  The Japanese believed, that unconditional surrender meant total surrender of their old identity, and acceptance of a new identity. 

In short, total surrender meant an end of their old way of life and the beginning of a new way of life.

As it turned out, Hirohito found out that total surrender, was not what the Americans meant at all by unconditional surrender.  When Hirohito asked the American General McArthur on the USS Missouri, about the steps that the Japanese had to take to be considered to be Christians by the Americans, the answer surprised him.  McArthur told him, that the Americans did not expect the Japanese to mass convert to Christianity, and that no one could force anyone to become a Christian in any case.  McArthur told him, that no one could become a Christian, by simply observing certain holidays and keeping certain customs.  He told Hirohito, that the decision to become a Christian, was something that each individual had to make on their own.  He told Hirohito, that making this decision, would bring about the end of the entire way of life of those who made it.   Hirohito was informed, that each person must decide for themselves, to submit to total surrender of their old identity, and acceptance of a new identity, if they wanted to become a Christian.

Hirohito, however, did have to make a public announcement to the Japanese people, that he was not God.

However, a day is coming when the Great War is over, and the Final Battle has been fought, that all the Earth will submit to the Man of Truth (Yah'shua aka Yeshua aka Jesus aka Mashiach aka Messiah aka Christ) in total surrender. 

The events leading up to this total surrender are foreshadowed in The Greatest Play Ever that is put on when people observe the Feasts of the Father of Truth (Yahoveh aka Yahweh aka God aka The Lord). In the fifth act of the Greatest Play Ever, Yom Teruah (Shofarim aka The Feast of Trumpets), the Father of Truth will prevent Collateral Damage by soon calling the Children of Truth (those that obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) to gather together with the Man of Truth in the air with the sound of a shofar (trumpet) (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18).  This will occur when the last shofar (trumpet) is sounded at the end of the fifth act to signal that His wrath is ready to be poured out on the Earth (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).  In the Greatest Play Ever, He will pour out His wrath on the Earth in the Great War (The Tribulation) during the intermission known as the Days of Awe that is between the fifth and sixth acts (Revelation 6:15-17).  In the sixth act, Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement aka The Fast aka Judgment Day), He will send the Man of Truth with an army composed of the Children of Truth and the Angels of Truth to completely defeat His enemies in the Final Battle (Armageddon) bringing to completion the pouring out of His Wrath on the Earth (Revelation 19:14-16).

This sixth act of the Greatest Play Ever is all about total surrender.

The Man of Truth will not come back to the Earth to rescue the inhabitants of Jerusalem until they submit to him in total surrender (Matthew 23:37-39).

Total surrender will mean a change in religion for all of the Jews on Earth.

For more than thousand years most Jews have followed religious leaders who claim to have derived their authority from Moses (Matthew 23:2).  For this reason the Jews have largely observed to do whatever these religious leaders have told them (Matthew 23:3). These religious leaders put on a religious show and call themselves "Rabbi" (Matthew 23:5-7).  These Rabbis have kept most of their fellow Jews from seeing that the Man of Truth is the one that Moses spoke of and have driven many other Jews into atheism (Matthew 23:13).

These Rabbis have devoured the houses of widows in private while making long prayers in public (Matthew 23:14).  They have provoke the Gentile proselytes to their religion to do even worse things than they do (Matthew 23:15).  They are more concerned with getting the rituals of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) right than they are with treating people right (Matthew 23:23).

These blind guides put more value on material things than on spiritual things (Matthew 23:16-18).  These blind guides are more concerned with small temporary matters than with large eternal matters (Matthew 23:24).  The blind religious leaders are more concerned with appearing clean on the outside where people can see than with being clean on the inside where the Father of Truth can see (Matthew 23:25-26).  These Rabbis may look good on the outside but they are full of death on the inside (Matthew 23:27-28).

Their religion has replaced the commandments of the Law of Truth with their own traditions (Matthew 15:4-6).  Their religion has taught people a doctrine based on their commandments instead of the Law of Truth (Matthew 15:7-9).  Their religion places the heavy burden of following their rules on the shoulders of most Jews (Matthew 23:4). 

Rabbinical Judaism will come to end when the Jews submit in total surrender to the Man of Truth.

The Jews that survive the Great War will finally submit in total surrender to the Prophet like Moses who the Father of Truth raise up and who they must listen to in order to please the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:15-19). The Jews will acknowledge that the Man of Truth that was rejected by their religious leaders is the one that the Father of Truth sent to bring them salvation (Psalm 118:21-23). They will be glad and rejoice in the day that they submit to this new religion in total surrender (Psalm 118:24-26). The only one that they will call "Rabbi" in their new religion will be the Man of Truth (Matthew 23:8).

They will find that this new religion will give them the power to obey the Law of Truth by writing it on their inner most being so that they sin no more against the Father of Truth (Jeremiah 31:31-33).  This new religion will allow them dwell in the Promised Land because the Spirit of Truth (HaRuach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) will live in them so that they will be able to keep the Law of Truth (Ezekiel 36:26-28). They will be born again and find that the commandments of their new religion are not hard to keep (1 John 5:1-3).

Total surrender will bring an end to the identity of Jews as being a scattered minority that lives among the Gentiles.  When the Jews of Jerusalem submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender then every single person of Jewish descent will be gathered by the Angels of Truth to the Promised Land from every nation on Earth so that the Diaspora that began with the Assyrians will finally come to an end (Matthew 24:29-31).

This will even include those whose identity as Jews had been hidden from them by their ancestors so that they did not even know themselves that they were Jewish (Psalm 83:3-4).  The regathering of the Jews that began in 1870 will finally be complete and the Jews will no longer be scattered across the world for their disobedience to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 30:4-6).  Their identity will be completely changed from that of a persecuted minority scattered among the Gentiles for not serving the Father of Truth to an exalted people that have been gathered together in their own land to serve the Father of Truth (Micah 4:6-8).

When they are regathered in total surrender they will have to learn to speak a new language, Hebrew, to serve the Man of Truth instead of the languages of those they served in the lands where they will be gathered from (Zephaniah 3:9).

In short total surrender will mean an end of their old way of life and the beginning of a new way of life.

The Jews will not be the only ones that will experience total surrender on that day.

The Gentiles that survive will also have to submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender (Revelation 19:15).  The Gentiles will be completely disarmed in total surrender so that they cannot rebel against the Man of Truth (Micah 4:1-3).

The Jewish kingdom will be exalted above every Gentile kingdom when the Gentiles submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender (Deuteronomy 26:18-19).  A Jewish kingdom will rule the Earth instead of Gentile kingdoms ruling the Earth (Daniel 2:44-45).  The times of the Gentile nations ruling Jerusalem will come to an end (Luke 21:24).

The Gentiles will also be given a new religion that affects every area of their lives when they submit to total surrender.

The same Law of Truth that the Jews will finally obey from their heart will become the law of the entire Earth (Isaiah 2:2-4).  The Gentiles will no longer keep the religions that they inherited from their fathers (Jeremiah 16:19-21).  They will come up to Jerusalem to learn how to keep the same laws as the Jews (Zechariah 8:20-22).  They will seek out the Jews to teach them how to keep the Law of Truth (Zechariah 8:23).

Their calendar and holidays will be completely changed.  They will have to come up to Jerusalem on the seventh month of the calendar established in the Law of Truth to worship the Man of Truth and to live in tents for a week (Zechariah 14:16).  Anyone that does not show up for Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) will not get any rain for the next year (Zechariah 14:17-19).

The Gentiles will even have to learn only eat the same food as the Jews when they submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender (Leviticus 11).

In short total surrender will mean an end of their old way of life and the beginning of a new way of life.

Total surrender will not only be experienced by the whole Earth when the Man of Truth returns to complete the sixth act of the Greatest Play Ever but it will be experienced by everyone that has ever lived including the Spirits of Lies, the Angels of Lies, the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) and every person that has ever been born (Romans 14:11).  So voluntarily or involuntarily, now or later, everyone will submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender.

Although the day will come when everyone on Earth will submit in total surrender to the Man of Truth people can voluntarily choose total surrender to the Man of Truth now. 

If you will submit to total surrender now then you will inherit eternal life but if you wait until you are force into total surrender later then you will suffer eternal punishment (John 12:25).  Those that suffer as a result of total surrender now will reign with the Man of Truth forever but those that refuse to suffer as a result of total surrender now will have no part in his kingdom later (2 Timothy 2:12).

Totals surrender means surrendering your will to do the will of the Father of Truth even if it cost your life like total surrender meant for the Man of Truth (Matthew 26:39). You submit to total surrender when you decide to do whatever the Man of Truth wants you to do (Luke 6:46-49).  Total surrender means that you love the Man of Truth more than anyone else or even your own life (Luke 14:26-27).

If you accept total surrender then you will no longer belong to yourself because your life was bought with a price for the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).   You are giving up control of your time, your money, your relationships and everything else in your life.

You will no longer have an identity as one of the Children of Lies if you submit to total surrender (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). You will have to submit to total surrender of your old identity and acceptance of a new identity (2 Corinthians 5:17)  The Man of Truth will be living out his life through you because you have died to your old life (Galatians 2:20).

You will have a new religion if you submit to total surrender.  You may already be going to a congregation where you think that the religious leaders know the Father of Truth but that does not mean that you have the same religion as them or that they have submitted in total surrender to the Man of Truth.  If you submit in total surrender and they have not then you will not have the same religion that they do.  If that is the case then eventually these religious leaders will persecute you and drive you from the place of worship that you might have attended for a long time (John 16:1-3).

In short total surrender will mean an end of your old way of life and the beginning of a new way of life.

You cannot submit to total surrender in your own strength. You can only submit to total surrender when you love the Man of Truth (John 14:15).  You cannot submit to total surrender until you realize that the Father of Truth loved you so much when you were still in rebellion that He sent His son to die for your sins (Romans 5:8).  You cannot submit to total surrender without the Spirit of Truth coming to live in you to help you do so (Romans 8:8-10).   The love for the Man of Truth that prompts you to total surrender comes from realizing the love that he first had for you (1 John 4:19).

No one can force you to come into the House of Truth.  You cannot come into the House of Truth by observing certain holidays or keeping certain customs.  You cannot come into the House of Truth by simply being born to parents that are in the House of Truth. You cannot come into the House of Truth by attending a congregation with the Children of Truth.  You must decide to come into the House of Truth for yourself.

You can only come into the House of Truth by submitting in total surrender to the Man of Truth (Matthew 7:21).  You must be born again to come into the House of Truth (John 3:3).  You must repent because you are truly sorry for rebelling against the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 7:10).  This is what it means to come into the House of Truth.

You come into the House of Truth when you decide to submit to the Man of Truth in total surrender because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-12).

Come into the House of Truth.

The Great War

Are you ready for World War III?

World War I is often referred to as the Great War especially in England.  One of the reasons for this is the sheer number of casualties that England had in that war.  In fact, England, France and Italy all lost more people in World War I than any other war including World War II.

Worse yet they did not heed the warning of American General Pershing, who was the General of the Armies, that the Germany had to be completely defeated or the next generation would be back fighting Germany again.

They wanted Germany to be able to pay for their expenses of fighting the Great War.  It had been the custom in Europe for centuries that the losing side had to pay the expenses of the winning side in a war.  A Germany that was completely defeated would be unable to pay those expenses.  So instead of heeding the saged advice of General Pershing to completely defeat Germany they created the terrible Treaty of Versailles.

This treaty called for Germany to pay the expenses of the war incurred by Great Britain, France and Italy.  It created such terrible economic hardship in Germany that a generation of fatherless men were created.  These fatherless men were soon under the sway of a man of lies that called himself  "the Fuhrer" (literally "the Father").  This father figure soon convinced them that they had been wronged and that they were the rightful rulers of Europe.  The result of not completely defeating Germany in the World War I was World War II.

As bloody and terrible as World War I and World War II were they pale in comparison with the Great War that will soon be fought on the Earth.

The countries participating in World War I represented every continent and covered about 80 percent of the Earth.  In World War II the participating covered about 95 percent of the Earth. Still there were neutral countries including Switzerland that were strategically located in the center of the main area of combat.

The Great War that is coming will involve every nation on Earth (Isaiah 34:2).

In World War II there was a man of lies who called himself "the father" who sought to enslave the whole world and fought against the Allies.  In the Great War that is coming the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) will fight against the Angels of Truth (Revelation 12:7-9).  In the Great War the Man of Lies (The Anti-Christ aka The Beast) will fight against the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) (Revelation 19:19).

In the Great War peace will be taken from the entire Earth (Revelation 6:4).  The Man of Lies will gather all nations to fight against the Man of Truth (Habakkuk 2:5).  These nations will form an alliance to fight against the Man of Truth and His Father (Psalm 2:1-3). 

Russia lost many people in World War I and World War II but these casualties are small compared to those that will happen in the Great War.  In the Great War Russia will attack Israel with an alliance of European and Muslim nations (Ezekiel 38:2-8).  Russia will bring its entire army to fight on the mountains of Israel and five out six of its soldiers will die there (Ezekiel 39:1-4). It will take seven years to completely clean up the mess (Ezekiel 39:8-10).  It will take seven months just to bury all of the dead soldiers from Russia (Ezekiel 39:11-15).

In the Great War these nations will not know nor understand that the Father of Truth  (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has allowed the Man of Lies to prosper in destroying others so that His enemies can be completely destroyed (Daniel 8:23-25).  They will not understand that He is the one that will bring them to Jerusalem to capture half of its inhabitants (Zechariah 14:2).  They will not consider that they are only His instruments to destroy the unrepentant from among the Jews of Jerusalem so that Jerusalem can be rebuilt as a city that is inhabited by those that dwell in holiness (Amos 9:9-11).

In the Great War they will not know that they are unwitting pawns used to get the Jews of Jerusalem to accept the One that their political and religious professionals rejected as their King (Psalm 118:21-23).  They will not understand that the great purpose of the Great War is get the Jews to call out to the Man of Truth to save them (Psalm 118:25-26).  The Great War will soon end after the Jews accept their King (Matthew 23:39).

Then the Man of Truth will fight for Jerusalem and rescue its survivors (Zechariah 14:3-5).  The Man of Truth will come with all of the armies of the resurrected saints (Jude 1:14-15).  The surviving men of Jerusalem will also arise to fight when they see him and they will be like David when he fought Goliath while David and the other saints will be like the Father of Truth in this battle (Zechariah 12:7-9).

The Father of Truth will then bring all nations into a single large battlefield as surely as He has brought the Jews back to the Land of Israel  (Joel 3:1-2).  Then He shall destroy the armies of all nations on that battlefield (Isaiah 34:1-3).  So many will perish in this battle that the entire 186 mile (300 km) long valley will be filled with blood that is more than three feet (one meter) deep (Revelation 14:20).  (This would require a death toll of about one billion soldiers.)  The Great War will be over.

In the aftermath of the Great War justice will be dealt out to everyone based on what they did during the Great War.

Everyone among the survivors of the Great war shall be gathered together and divided into two groups by the Man of Truth (Matthew 25:31-33).  Those people that are on his right shall be brought into his kingdom because they took care of him during the Great War (Matthew 25:34-36).  They will want to know when they gave him food and drink, clothed him and visited him in his afflictions (Matthew 25:37-39).  The King will tell them whenever they did these things to any of the Jews during the Great War that they did those things to him (Matthew 25:40). Those people that are on his left shall be completely destroyed because they did not take care of him during the Great War (Matthew 25:41-43).  They will want to know when they neglected to give him food and drink, or to clothe him or to visited him in his afflictions during the Great War (Matthew 25:44).  The King will tell them whenever they neglected to do any of these things for any of the Jews during the Great War that they neglected to do those things for him (Matthew 25:45).  So everyone that does not help the Jews in the Great War will be destroyed like those that fought against the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth in the Great War while the those that helped the Jews in the Great War will live (Matthew 25:46).

The Great War will really be the war to end all wars.  After it is over people will turn their weapons into farm equipment and never go to war again and the Law that the Father of Truth gave Moses will be the law of the entire Earth (Isaiah 2:3-5).  Instead of war peace will cover the Earth (Zechariah 9:10).

The good news is that you do not have to wait until the Great War is over to experience peace!  The Man of Truth has already came once to this Earth so that people of all nations could come into the House of Truth and find peace (Luke 2:10-14).  He has already won the war so you can come into the House of Truth and live in real peace (Colossians 1:19-21).  The war was won when the Father of Truth brought him back from the dead so that you could come into the House of Truth (Hebrews 13:20-21).  All that is left for you do to come into the House of Truth is to surrender to the Man of Truth because you believe that His father did this (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth.
