God's Amazing Salvation Plan Part 3
The theme continues….
This idea of being unclean and getting clean, possibly more than once, is seen through the laws of Tzara'ot. (Leprosy) (I use the Hebrew word because I'm so used to it)
Laws of Tzara'ot (leprosy)
Tzara'ot is a contagious skin disease found in Lev. 13 & 14 which renders a person ritually unclean as evidenced by the visible contagion. Whether it's a skin disease, home contamination, or mildew somewhere, the requirement for all is the same; go outside the camp or be isolated for a period of time, let the priest examine you, if you're clean, then you can enter back into the camp but if not, you may have to isolate again. In some cases where rot is in the walls, if it comes back even after removing the affected area, then it must be destroyed. The idea is that the unclean must be separated from everyone else lest the contamination spreads. (that which is Holy must remain holy)
Think of the millennium as the time of getting clean, like I stated earlier. Now incorporate the laws of tzara'ot and it's the same. If the tzara'ot comes back OR if at the end of the millennium at final judgment, then that which has tzara'ot MUST BE DESTROYED ETERNALLY - the lake of fire - the second death.
People will be getting clean during the millennium, but Satan will be loosed again for a short while to tempt the nations. If they follow Satan, then the tzara'ot has returned and it will be all the worse because they WILL HAVE SEEN YESHUA and NOT gone on faith. They will see plainly for themselves His goodness in His rule and government and so if they reject Him after witnessing these things for themselves, then the wrath of God will come down upon them IN FULL MEASURE LIKE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. These people are beyond redemption at this point because God, in His mercy and love, extended another opportunity for those to be saved who DIDN'T OPERATE BY FAITH and instead He allowed them to SEE HIM PHYSICALLY AND EXPERIENCE HIM yet they still rejected Him. Astounding to think that people will do this even after seeing for themselves but we see this today don't we? People would rather believe lies even though these bad actors are exposed and the truth is out there. They love the lies and the father of lies - Satan. And so it will be at this second Passover event - when final judgment is rendered. Yeshua will inspect everyone to see if they are finally clean and those where the tzara'ot has returned, they CANNOT partake of the Lamb or His Passover and will be a casualty of that Passover as they WILL NOT BE PASSED OVER.
This is What the Lord Has Shown Us…
The laws of tzara'ot show us that we need to be clean and ultimately only Yeshua can make us clean. We are to do our part in washing our robes thus showing our faith through and in conjunction with our actions/works.
Rev 22:14
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.
Rev 7:14
"These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
This we already know. But what we didn't know was that Passover tells us WHEN we must be ready. Not on Passover Day but the Passover Event which is God's wrath, and our being 'passed over.' It's the transition period from this worldly kingdom into God's Kingdom on earth. We are right on the cusp of this - rapture/resurrection and His wrath is playing out now and again, not in a way that we thought, not yet anyway.
Below is a simple timeline of the events that I mentioned.
Are we in a transition period now?
You betcha! Look at the state of the world - the darkness fighting the light. I talked about this earlier. But do we see WRATH going on now because that's all a part of the transition. Christians are quick to point out that "we are not appointed to wrath" and that's right but what does "wrath" mean?
Our (human) anger is expressed by rage, venting of anger which is flawed. However, God's wrath or anger is a holy wrath, directed against sin with intense opposition and without sin. And since we're seeing these things now, then God has already judged our wicked leaders and it's being executed now. Again, not in its full measure.
The bowls of Revelation, I believe, are for FINAL judgment or Passover Event at the end of the millennium entering the eternal ring or era.
This wrath is reserved only for the very wicked - those leaders in authority who have betrayed their oaths, their people, and who are lawless. This wrath has been playing out in the form of 'God opposing their sin.' So He's not judging THEM per se, but THEIR SINS. We know that our leftist tyrannical leaders can't seem to do ANYTHING and everything blows up in their faces - that's God's wrath but not in its full measure.
Bottom Line for Us…
Yeshua's 2nd coming/rapture is a Passover Event in that some people are destroyed and some are preserved. There are three groups of people now…
Clean
Unclean
Wicked
Wicked - Destruction is meant for our wicked leaders worldwide (and their followers) but we are to look to America for prophetic fulfillment since we are Babylon and representative of the Gentiles and all nations. The ones meted out for destruction are not only unclean, but they are wicked and given over. These people worship the beast and this includes regular people who have taken their mark of the beast - utterly given over to lies and every form of depravity. These are the ones who will be 'taken' from the land of the living and gathered where 'the carcass lies and the eagles gather (Matt 24:28). Quick destruction & death once He arrives. But until then, these wicked people are being weakened, losing power and influence. Sure they can lash out and cause problems in their last throws of death but the fact is, they're dying now and will literally when Yeshua returns.
Clean - This is for believers who have washed their robes in Yeshua's righteousness. They are born again believers. They have cut off their flesh spiritually and are circumcised of heart. They have cleaned the leaven from their houses. They have partaken of the Lamb spiritually. They are ready for Yeshua's return and will receive glorified bodies at the start of the millennium. We will rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years etc.
Unclean - This is the good part for our friends and relatives - this is what I strongly believe the Lord has shown us…. Being unclean is not a death sentence. If you're 'unclean,' YOU CAN GET CLEAN which is why there's a 2ND PASSOVER. He gives them more time to get clean. Now this 2nd Passover is FINAL - all bets are off after that.
So these unclean people are not wicked and depraved and yet they are not covered by Yeshua's righteous blood. They are still attached to their flesh and may act accordingly. They may have Torah on their hearts. Please see Part 1 for the types of people who have not accepted Yeshua's sacrifice on their behalf.
So these unclean people GET CLEAN DURING THE MILLENNIUM. After the Passover Event of Yeshua's 2nd coming/rapture/resurrection, that starts the new Kingdom and millennium. Which brings us to another topic - resurrection.
There are only two resurrections - one to life, and one to everlasting destruction which is the 2nd resurrection and lake of fire. I believe ALL of the unclean people throughout history will be resurrected during the FIRST resurrection but they will be raised to FLESH. Why? Because they still have to CUT OFF THEIR FLESH DURING THE MILLENNIUM and get clean. Whereas those who are CLEAN NOW, HAVE ALREADY CUT OFF THEIR FLESH AND WILL BE RAISED TO GLORIFIED BODIES and have eternal life.
So those unclean: (which comprises the majority of the world)
If they already died, they will be raised to flesh in order to get clean
They will be raised to flesh and have life but not eternal life until they are clean, are inspected by the High Priest (Yeshua) and either at some time during the millennial kingdom or at the end of it, they will get glorified bodies.
Anyone who is to spend eternity with God must cut off their flesh i.e. be circumcised of heart and made clean. Those who are born again believers now die to self (cut off flesh) every day and since our flesh is cut off, and we are living sacrifices, then we get glorified bodies at the beginning of the millennium when Yeshua comes. But those who have not cut off their flesh, who are unclean, will have a millennia to get clean before final judgment which is the 2nd Passover event.
In Closing…
So hopefully, if I've explained it well, we see a beautiful picture emerge of God's salvation plan full of mercy especially for those hardheads. Haha Just think, He didn't have to do ANYTHING for us but instead, He sent His Son, the unblemished Lamb to take on the sins of the world so that we might be reconciled to the Father. But He went a step further. He knew our individual situations and backgrounds and for some of us the inability to come to Him and He made a provision for them by giving them a fair chance. He is giving the unclean a chance to "taste of Him and see that He is good." (Psalm 34:8)
He truly is the "God of second chances"
