Daniel Lazich

The Prostitute and the 10 Kings continued.

The sixth kingdom described in Daniel chapter two is the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was divided into two distinct regions: the Western and Eastern parts. Emperor Constantine assigned the oversight of the Western region to the Bishop of Rome. However, the Bishop of Rome’s selfish ambitions distracted students of the books of Daniel and Revelation. As a result, they concluded that ten kings would emerge from the religious environment in the Western region. Nevertheless, the Western area represents only half of the Roman Empire.

As a result, they focused on religious and politically influential figures in the Western region, while overlooking those in the Eastern region. Students studying the books of Daniel and Revelation should note that none of the previous six kingdoms were religious kingdoms. Therefore, the seventh kingdom is not a religious one.

The revived beast from the sea, the WTO, is actively working toward a single global economy and trade system, characterized by free trade among the world’s nations. The ten kings will maintain the global free trade system during the Millennium. Movement and travel by people will not be limited. All religions around the world will be tolerated. The seventh kingdom will not have a favored religion. Having a preferred religion proved to be a problem for previous empires, and it will not benefit the seventh kingdom either.

The main goal of the seventh kingdom is to achieve global peace and material prosperity. Global economic growth is essential for sustaining worldwide peace. However, the current approach to the global economy is inherently cyclical. As a result, a coordinated global recession is expected, which will be more severe than any in human history. This could lead to a threat of worldwide anarchy. Therefore, global peace will be maintained by the three military powers involved in the trilateral plan. They will uphold peace through a global martial decree. While military force can ensure peace, economic prosperity cannot be guaranteed. Consequently, the scale of future global disasters will be unparalleled.

The Prostitute and the 10 Kings continued.

“The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.” Revelation 17:12. Satan gave the beast, the seventh kingdom, his power, his throne, and great authority to rule the seventh kingdom. Revelation 13:2. The dragon is Satan, or the beast that was, now is not, and will be. He gave his authority to the beast that came out of the sea, the seventh kingdom. The progress of the beast out of the sea was prevented by wars in Europe.

However, the beast that emerged from the land has refined and restored the beast that came out of the sea, bringing it back to the city where it originated—Geneva, Switzerland. The restored beast from the sea shares with the beast from the land the great authority to rule. The ten kings will inherit this authority from the WTO. After the Millennium, the ten kings will return the great authority to the dragon. “They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.” Revelation 17:13.

The beast in the above verse is Satan, also referred to as a dragon, with seven heads and ten horns. He is the beast that was, is not now, and will be again. The ten kings are not a group of powerful individuals; they are the world’s ten influential nations that will lead the nations during the Millennium. These influential nations will not govern the member countries in their group of nations, but will guide them toward goals set by the seventh kingdom. Each group of nations will consist of free and sovereign countries. All of this will happen soon.

The identity of the ten kings will soon become clear. Currently, we have the G-7 group of nations. The plan is to form the G-10, which will comprise the world’s most influential countries. The final composition of the G-10 is still being decided. The current uncertainty is deliberate. Students studying the books of Daniel and Revelation should avoid creating scenarios that are unlikely to happen. What the world is doing now aligns with God’s plan and purpose. The ten kings who will emerge from the global system known as the “One World” are not yet in place. They are still forming. No past nations or individuals will be restored to lead the world. During this uncertain time, patience and wisdom are essential. Still, everyone should trust God, because His plan is sure and will succeed.

Continued in the next blog.

The seventh kingdom continued.

The feet of the statue in Daniel chapter two represent the seventh biblical kingdom. However, the kingdom symbolized by the feet will “remain for only a brief time as a uniform single entity.” (It is possible that the world will split into ten groups of nations before the full realization of the seventh kingdom. Still, these regions will operate in the spirit of the seventh kingdom.) During the early phase of the seventh kingdom, represented by the feet in Daniel chapter 2, the global economic system will undergo a complete failure. This economic collapse will lead to the division of the seventh kingdom into ten regions. However, the world might be divided into ten groups of independent nations before the anticipated economic collapse and widespread hardship.

These ten regions will remain until the end of the Millennium. After the Millennium, Satan will be released from prison and then installed as the eighth king. The ten regions, which are the ten kings, will transfer their power, throne, and authority back to Satan, which he originally gave to the seventh kingdom. Revelation 13:2 states, “The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.” Revelation 17:11.

The world’s ten regions will prepare for Satan to become its prince again. During the Millennium, the ten kings will jointly govern the world through an agreement. They will allocate enough human and financial resources to develop technology that enables people to think the same thoughts. This skill is vital for conducting a war of influence. Work on this technology has already started. The basic ability to influence the human brain from a distance was achieved in September 2022.

The “One World,” or an integrated world system, and the Ten Kings are part of the same global organization. Revelation 17:1 states that the “great prostitute sits on many waters.” An angel explained to John that many waters symbolize people, multitudes, nations, and languages. Therefore, the system described by the great prostitute is a worldwide system. “The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17:18.

In Geneva, Switzerland, the WTO is the first and only independent global organization with its own constitution and laws. No country in the world controls the WTO. As a result, the WTO in Geneva may symbolize the great city promoting self-reliance through human ingenuity. It is located within Geneva, a neutral territory. The global system, coordinated by the WTO, is the great prostitute that leads people to rely on themselves rather than on God.

The great prostitute will suffer a catastrophic downfall. “The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.” Revelation 17:16. Experts who oversee the development of the global system anticipate a complete economic collapse and the fall of the great city. The author of these blogs gained this information firsthand because he interacted with the system’s experts through his work.

More details about the great prostitute and the ten kings.

The great prostitute is not only associated with the seventh kingdom but also symbolizes the attitude of the seven biblical kingdoms described in the books of Daniel and Revelation. “Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.” Revelation 17:3. The scarlet beast represents Satan, on whose behalf the seven biblical human kingdoms operate. The ten horns are not attached to any specific head of the scarlet beast. Instead, the ten horns continue the seventh kingdom after the unprecedented troubles.

During the great economic troubles and the seven last plagues, the integrated seventh kingdom will split into ten regions worldwide. Within each group of nations, the most influential nation will lead its group. The ten groups of nations will collectively form the seventh kingdom. The leading nations will not govern other countries within their region but will guide them. However, the goal of these ten areas will align with that of the scarlet beast that leads the seven biblical kingdoms on Earth. These regions will work in harmony with the red dragon’s purpose.

The seventh and truly global kingdom is described in Daniel 2:41–44. It will lack the grandeur and power of the previous six kingdoms. However, it will have enough structural stability to fulfill the goals of the earlier kingdoms. The ten horns, representing ten regions, will have the same fragile strength as the seventh kingdom. Still, they will be strong enough to lead the world in installing Satan as its ruler.

There is considerable disagreement among students and interpreters of the books of Daniel and Revelation regarding the ten kings. Most concepts list powerful and influential historical figures who are no longer alive, as well as nations that have since vanished. However, the ten kings are in the future relative to today, not in the past. The disagreement comes from the idea that the ten kings are part of and a continuation of the sixth kingdom, the Roman Empire. Nonetheless, Revelation 17:9–10 indicates that ten kings will emerge after the seventh kingdom has experienced great distress.

The seventh kingdom emerged on the historical scene long after the sixth kingdom and is not a continuation of it. The sixth kingdom ended about seven centuries before the concept of the seventh kingdom originated. “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.” Revelation 17:9–10. The Book of Revelation shows that the seventh kingdom and the ten horns must appear sometime after the sixth kingdom and are not a continuation of it.

More details concerning the prostitute and the ten kings.

Previous blogs highlighted how Satan used six biblical kingdoms to prevent the arrival of the Messiah. Perhaps Satan thought that if the Messiah never came, God’s plan for humankind would fail. But Satan’s efforts failed. The six biblical kingdoms acted against the people through whom God determined to bring the Messiah into the world. Satan was actively involved with these first six human agencies, the six kingdoms. However, Satan failed in his plans. The promised Messiah did arrive, as God planned. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, defeated Satan as the ruler of this world. Now, Satan waits for humankind to develop a system that will restore his position as prince of this world.

Such a system was outlined in earlier blogs. However, Revelation chapters seventeen and eighteen provide more details. Satan’s goal remains the same: to disrupt God’s plan for humankind. Satan waits for the seventh biblical kingdom to prepare the world for his return, aiming to regain his role as its prince. The method used by the seventh biblical kingdom is new and has never been attempted before. Human agents are acting on Satan’s behalf without his direct influence. The previous approach failed. Now, Satan’s goal is to remove as many people as possible from the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ. He does this by promoting what seems good in human eyes. Through global peace and material prosperity, Satan shifts people’s focus away from Jesus Christ and onto themselves.

Chapter seventeen of the Book of Revelation portrays human efforts to oppose God’s plan for humankind. Satan is not visibly involved in the seventh kingdom because he is no longer the prince of this world and lacks the authority to directly influence people. Instead, he relies on Earth’s inhabitants to prepare it as his domain. Satan hopes that the human system of peace and prosperity will deceive Earth’s inhabitants into worshiping themselves rather than God. Revelation describes such a system as a “great prostitute.” The global economic system, coordinated by the WTO, will lead nations to become self-reliant. People will acknowledge God as the Creator, but will also add their own efforts and rules to God’s work for humankind. Humankind has only one husband—Jesus Christ. When people promote their own teachings and laws, they act as if they are married to two husbands. Therefore, they are prostitutes and commit spiritual adultery. When people add requirements beyond those of Jesus Christ, or in place of Him, they act as antichrists. (1 John 2:18, 22-23; 1 John 4:1-4).

The great city falls, continued.

After the collapse of the central global authority, the world will split into ten regions. The most influential country in each area will lead that region. These leading countries are the ten kings symbolized by the ten horns of the seventh head, as described in the Book of Revelation. The ten groups of nations are the continuation of the seventh human kingdom on Earth. The ten horns, or ten kings, will oversee global affairs after the great city, the single worldwide coordinating authority, falls. The ten influential nations will administer the world’s affairs by consensus until it is time to transfer power to the eighth king, Satan. Revelation 17:17. The beast mentioned here is Satan—the beast who was, now is not, and will be again. Satan was once the prince of this world; he is not now, but he will return to power when the ten kings install him at the end of the Millennium. After his release from the Abyss at the end of the Millennium, the ten horns, or ten kings, will appoint Satan as the eighth king on Earth. (Revelation 20:7, 8).

John, in Revelation 18, describes the fall of Babylon, the great city, and the central authority. Revelation chapter 19 describes the celebration in heaven because of Babylon’s fall. Babylon symbolizes pride and self-reliance, ignoring God and His plan for humankind. Events leading up to Jesus’ return will reveal the self-reliance and confusion about God that self-centered teachers and authorities have planted in people’s minds regarding the Scriptures. Today, more than ever, people fail to recognize the actual severity of our sin in the Garden of Eden. Due to this confusion, professed believers do not fully appreciate the greatness of what God achieved for us in the body of Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha. Human teachings and ideas have caused and continue to cause serious misconceptions about what Jesus Christ suffered on the cross at Golgotha.

There is a lot of confusion among Christians about what God has done for us. God did not come into the world in human flesh to show the possibility of salvation. In the body of  Jesus Christ, on the cross at Golgotha, God has saved the world from guilt and punishment for sin. He has destroyed sin and the sinful human life that separated humankind from Him and has reconciled all people to Himself as His children. People in Babylon pride themselves on their efforts to earn salvation and qualify for heaven. Because of their self-centered pride, they do not realize that people are only fit for heaven in Jesus Christ and Him alone.

The great city falls!

“The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.” Revelation 16:19.

As mentioned in the previous blog, the great city functions as the center of global authority, guiding and coordinating the economic and commercial integration of its member nations. Currently, the World Trade Organization (WTO), based in Geneva, Switzerland—an impartial territory—serves as this global coordinating body. Whether this will lead to a single worldwide government, as analysts suggest, remains uncertain. However, regardless of its structure and function, a centralized global authority will fail. Such failure is an inherent part of the global economic system. According to the trilateral plan, the world’s three military powers will collaborate to prevent global chaos from escalating.

The three unclean spirits John saw symbolize regions where the world’s military might is concentrated. Revelation 16:13–16. The Trilateral Concept, as currently proposed, will include Europe, Asia led by China, and the Americas under U.S. leadership. The plan is for these three regions to play a larger role in global affairs and, if necessary, use force to uphold the World Order.

The events of the sixth trumpet involve preparing for the arrival of the King of kings. The Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet will utilize the world’s three major military powers—the three unclean spirits—to try to prevent the expected extraterrestrial invasion, which is the return of the King of kings with His escort. The three frogs, representing the three unclean spirits, will help ensure the safety of the ten kings of the world. These ten kings will perfect the technology needed for a war of influence. The technology necessary for this is in the advanced development stage.

When the faithful ascend to heaven with the King of kings, the three unclean spirits and the ten kings will work together to prevent their return to Earth. They will be prepared to help Satan conduct the final war, at a place called Armageddon, after his release from the Abyss. This last war will take place at the end of the Millennium when Satan once again becomes the ruler of this world. As the ruler of this world, Satan will lead the Eighth Kingdom in the final battle against the New Jerusalem at a location called Armageddon. The location of Armageddon is described in Zechariah 14:4–5.

It is done, heaven announced!

“The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the

temple came a loud voice  from the throne, saying, ‘It is done!” Revelation 16:17.

The phrase “It is done” means that all decisions about God and Jesus Christ have been finalized. No further decisions will be made. The people have settled their minds. God knew before He created the universe who among humankind would self-surrender to Jesus Christ and accept His salvation. God observes everything and knows it all. The events leading up to Jesus’s return answer the prayer of God’s people who were slain because of the word of God, as described at the opening of the fifth seal in Revelation 6:9–11. God’s response will be proportionate to the evil deeds committed by those on earth against God’s people. During this time, heaven will declare, “It is done.” All decisions for God and Jesus Christ will have been made. Then Jesus will return as King of kings. “Then they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud with power and great glory.” Luke 21:27. The fact that Jesus’s return will happen at the end of the seven last plagues confirms it will occur during the early phase of the seventh kingdom’s reign on earth.

While self-surrendered believers should avoid trying to predict the exact day and hour of Jesus’ return, they should follow Jesus’ advice. “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:28. The seventh kingdom on earth is a unique alliance of the world’s sovereign countries and nations, never before seen. It is not a traditional alliance. Because the form of the seventh kingdom is different from any previous kingdom, people are not paying attention to its development. However, the seventh kingdom, currently forming, is not just a concept but a real, tangible reality. The return of the King of kings is closer than many realize. Now, all faithful believers should lift their heads toward heaven because our redemption is here.

John saw the Son of Man holding the sickle with which he harvested the earth (Revelation 14:16). This moment is so magnificent that everyone in heaven shouts, “Hallelujah!” (Revelation 19:1). For the righteous, by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, the end of the last days is over; eternity with the Lord has begun. The Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, and his bride, the Church, will go on a honeymoon for a thousand years.

The fall of the “great city,” read the next blog.

The seven last plagues.

“I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with seven last plagues – last because with them God’s wrath is completed.” Revelation 15:1. The fulfillment of Jesus’ commission to proclaim the good news of the kingdom will culminate in the return of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Just before Jesus’ return, the world will face a time of unparalleled troubles and distress. During this difficult period, God will release the seven final plagues upon those living on earth. The seventh kingdom will be in upheaval, facing great uncertainty.

In this unprecedented time, those who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb need not fear anything; the great prince will rise to protect His people, as stated in Daniel 12:1. Conversely, those who are not part of the kingdom will curse God because of their suffering, refusing to repent from their self-reliant and self-righteous ways, and expecting God to recognize their self-perceived goodness. When God does not meet their expectations, they grumble and criticize.

The description of the seven final plagues in the Book of Revelation powerfully illustrates the severity of the troubles that will come upon humankind’s seventh kingdom on Earth. The purpose of this description is not to provide detailed physical accounts of what will happen. Instead, it highlights that the events during this time of great trouble and the seven final plagues will be unparalleled in their severity and impact. The most important aspect of these plagues is that God’s response to the evil persecution of His faithful will be sufficient and proportional to the evil deeds committed by those who follow the dragon.

When the sixth angel poured out his bowl of God’s wrath, John saw three evil spirits emerge from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet (Revelation 16:13). The dragon is Satan himself. The beast represents the one-world system. But who or what is the false prophet?

We know from the Old Covenant Scriptures that the prophets’ mission is to represent God and speak on His behalf to the people. Therefore, if a prophet presents an inaccurate image or description of God to others, that prophet is a false one. The same is true today. We do not need a prophet to reveal God to us because, through Jesus Christ, we have full and free access to God the Father through prayer in Jesus’ name. So, if we show others a version of God different from the one Jesus revealed, then we are false prophets. A tragic outcome among Christians is that many believe Jesus’ death on the cross at Golgotha is not enough to save us. If Jesus’ death couldn’t save us, then what could? God has always been loving. He is love, and He will always be the selfless love. Jeremiah 31:3.

It is done! The heaven announces. Read the next blog.

The Remnant proclaims the good news.

The World Trade Organization (WTO), which now acts as a global coordinating body, guides nations in building a synchronized global economy and encouraging closer integration among sovereign countries. This type of economy, known as the economy of scale, has the potential to generate wealth, leading people to believe they can rely solely on self-sufficiency for long-term survival and shared global destiny. The WTO advocates reliance on human wisdom and ingenuity to achieve a peaceful and prosperous global future. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, the WTO manages and directs international economic and commercial efforts. As people become more self-reliant, their dependence on God will decrease, leading to widespread misunderstandings of God’s true nature. Jesus Christ fully revealed God’s character to the world, but this revelation has often been ignored (John 17:6, 26). As a result, many will be confused about God and His plans for humankind. With this in mind, the third angel issues a warning.

“A third angel followed the first two, declaring in a loud voice: If anyone worships the beast and his image and takes the mark on their forehead or their hand, that person will also drink of the wine of God’s anger that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb.” Revelation 14:9.

The nations of the world will willingly worship the beast, which represents the seventh kingdom on Earth, and will actively participate in the global system of self-reliance established by the image of the beast emerging from the sea. The reference to the image of the beast and its worship applies to nations and countries, not to individual people. Also, the mark of the beast applies to nations, not individual people. As a result, the One World system will require member nations to support and obey the Great City, Babylon, which functions as the administrative center of the image of the beast. Under the rules set by the Great City, the preaching of the gospel will decline, and religious leaders and their followers will begin to marginalize Christ. As prosperity increases, people will become more self-centered and less devoted to God (2 Timothy 3:2).

A mighty angel will cry out, “Come out of her, my people,” as written in Revelation 18:4. The righteous in Jesus Christ, who are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, will separate themselves from confusion where they fellowship and come together to proclaim the good news, which is the eternal gospel—Jesus Christ. This group will not represent any specific church or denomination. They are the committed believers who have died to themselves so that Christ can live in them. As members of the kingdom, they are dedicated to sharing the good news of the kingdom of God, that is, Jesus Christ.

The last plagues. Read the next blog.

The Remnant will proclaim the gospel.

The good news, presented as the everlasting Gospel, is that God, through Jesus Christ, has defeated Satan and everything related to evil. Only those who have died to themselves will inherit eternal life through Jesus Christ, the everlasting Gospel. “He said in a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, and the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Revelation 14:7. John heard the angel’s declaration in the past tense, indicating it had already been fulfilled. The phrase “has come” refers to the judgment of sinful humankind, which was accomplished in the body of Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha.

Those who live on Earth, characterized by self-love and self-righteousness, will face judgment for unbelief after the millennium, as stated in Revelation 20:11–15. These individuals are called “dead” because their sinful human lives died forever in the body of Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha. However, they did not accept the perfect new human life of Jesus Christ. They did not accept it because they did not believe that it had become a reality. Those who have died to themselves so that Christ can live in them will not face additional judgment beyond the one on the cross at Golgotha, as explained in John 3:18.

The first angel urges people to “fear God” because He has fulfilled His plan for humankind. The Enemy, Satan, has failed in his attempt to disrupt God’s purpose for humankind. The three angels proclaim the everlasting Gospel, meaning it is complete, perfect, and all-encompassing. There is no need to add, remove, or alter it. IT IS DONE FOREVER! Jesus Christ is the Good News for all humankind; therefore, He is the Gospel that we must proclaim to those on earth. The Good News is not the doctrines or teachings of any particular church or denomination; these are created by men (Isaiah 29:13). The true Good News is that God has accomplished everything necessary for the salvation of humankind through Jesus Christ’s body on the cross at Golgotha. No one can add anything to it. IT IS COMPLETE and PERFECT.

A second angel followed and said, Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.” Revelation 14:8. The proclamation by the second and third angels refers to the punishment of the prostitute shown in Revelation 17:1-2. This is the city where the image of the beast out of the sea acts as the global coordinating authority. When the angel led John to the desert to show him the prostitute, the Great City, he saw a woman with a name on her forehead: Babylon the Great, the mother of prostitutes.

In Revelation 18:1–3, John describes an angel with great authority who proclaims, Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great. Indeed, all three references point to the same Babylon. Babylon symbolizes pride in one’s own efforts and ingenuity. In Revelation 17:18, the angel tells John that the woman, the prostitute, is the Great City that rules over the kings of the earth. The global coordinating authority, or one-world government, is the city that rules over the countries of the world. It is located in Geneva, Switzerland. The global coordinating authority will persuade countries and nations to join the global system, enabling them to achieve wealth and self-sufficiency. However, the Great City, the global coordinating authority, will face severe punishment described in Revelation chapter 18. The initial plan laid out by the architects of the shared global destiny includes this reality.

Continued in the next blog.

The Remnant will proclaim the good news of the Kingdom.

The proclamation of the good news of the kingdom of God, Jesus Christ, will face significant opposition. This opposition will come from both within and outside the churches and denominations where the righteous in Jesus Christ fellowship. The good news—the gospel of the kingdom—will divide people into two distinct groups. Both groups may include exemplary individuals; however, one group will consist of those who are in the kingdom of heaven, while the other will consist of those who lead admirable lives here on Earth.

When the King of kings returns to Earth, He will separate the two groups as described in Matthew 25:31-46. Those in the kingdom of God are individuals who have died to themselves so that Christ may live in them, as stated in Galatians 2:19-20. The other group includes those who believe they have everything they need for heaven and eternity and therefore require nothing more. They have devoted significant effort throughout their lives to being exemplary Christians, leading them to think that God must admit them into His kingdom because they have been so good to Him. However, they do not realize that the King of kings will only take to heaven those who are already in the kingdom of God; therefore, they are already prepared. The King will not accept those who are still getting ready for His return, as highlighted in Revelation 3:17. They are unprepared because they are too busy with their own plans for being ready for the return of the King of kings.

In Revelation 14:1–5, John describes the righteous in Jesus Christ, especially the 144,000, who stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion. This raises an implied question: What qualified the 144,000 to wear the white robes that symbolize righteousness from God, Jesus Christ? John provides a visual explanation. Because they accepted Jesus’ victory as their own, these devoted believers were clothed in the white robes of righteousness from God, Jesus Christ. They are not righteous LIKE Jesus, but righteous IN Jesus alone. Throughout the centuries of the Christian era, Christians have proclaimed this profound message, and the Remnant will share it again with even greater urgency.

The text continues, “Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people” (Revelation 14:6). There is only one eternal Gospel because there is one Jesus Christ, who is the Eternal Good News for humankind. This message is one: one Jesus Christ, one Gospel, one Good news. The three angels proclaim the same message, echoing the Good news that was delivered to the shepherds in the field: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11).

Continued in the next blog.

The Remnant must proclaim the good news.

“He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Mark 16:15. Those who are righteous in Jesus Christ have proclaimed the good news throughout the centuries of Christianity. The good news is Jesus Christ, the good news of our salvation. However, those dressed in white robes of our righteousness from God, Jesus Christ, have an essential mission to accomplish before they stand with the Lord on Mount Zion. At the end of the last days, there will be a resolute and devoted proclamation of the good news, Jesus Christ. The sealed ones must fulfill the commission that Jesus gave, and they will accomplish it. The proclamation of the Gospel, Jesus Christ, is a sign of Jesus’s return. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14. The gospel of the kingdom does not refer to physical dominion. It refers to the kingdom of God, Jesus Christ, the God with us. Jesus, the Messiah, is the kingdom from heaven. Matthew 2:1-2; Luke 17:20-21.

The righteous in Jesus must and will inform the dark world that the Light of the world came from the Father in heaven and has become the new life for the dying world. The dying world must hear that God, in Jesus Christ, has rescued humankind from the kingdom of sin and darkness and brought it into the kingdom of Light and righteousness. The Remnant must inform the world that in Jesus Christ, on the cross at Golgotha, God has accomplished everything needed for the salvation of humankind. In Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha, God has restored humankind to Himself as His children, with full inheritance rights in His kingdom. Colossians 1:12–14.

The end of the last days will be a time of great uncertainty, turbulence, anxiety, and unimaginable troubles. Today, more than ever, the world needs to hear the good news about God’s finished work of salvation in Jesus Christ on the cross at Golgotha. The proclamation of the law and the prophecies do not constitute the good news of the kingdom from heaven that the righteous in Jesus must proclaim. The law and the prophets were proclaimed until the time of John the Baptist. “The law and the prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and everyone is forcing  their way into it.” Luke 16:16. The return of the King of kings and the Lord of lords will crown the proclamation of the good news of the kingdom. Jesus assured us of it in Matthew 24:14.
