    THE THIRD TEMPLE DECEPTION

    Everyon Is Looking In The Wrong Place For The Antichrist.

    The belief that a third Jewish temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem before the second coming of Christ has become one of the most popular teachings in modern prophecy circles. Many Christians now watch events in Israel expecting the rebuilding of the temple to signal the final countdown of earth's history. Organizations such as the Temple Institute have prepared priestly garments, vessels, and architectural plans, while some groups have even trained men who claim descent from the tribe of Levi for future temple service. The search for a red heifer has also received worldwide attention because of the ceremonial purification described in Numbers 19.

    To many, these developments appear to fulfill prophecy. Yet sincere belief does not make a teaching true. Jesus warned that many would be deceived concerning the last days, saying, "Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matthew 24:4). The apostle Paul likewise urged believers to "prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Every prophetic teaching must therefore be tested by the whole Bible rather than by popular opinion or current events.

    Those who insist on a future temple often point to passages in Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew 24, or 2 Thessalonians 2, but these texts are separated from their historical and biblical context. Paul wrote that "the man of sin... sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). In the New Testament, however, God's temple is repeatedly identified as His church. Paul wrote, "Ye are the temple of God" (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), and again, "What agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God" (2 Corinthians 6:16). Peter described believers as "living stones... built up a spiritual house" (1 Peter 2:5), while Ephesians 2:19-22 says the church is "an holy temple in the Lord." Therefore, the prophecy points to a religious power exalting itself within the sphere of Christianity rather than to a rebuilt Jewish temple in the Middle East.

    History also shows that the modern expectation of a rebuilt third temple is not the historic understanding held by the majority of Christians through the centuries. During the Protestant Reformation, leaders such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox identified the Antichrist with the papal system based on Daniel 7, Daniel 8, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13.

    Historically, this was not the view of only a few individuals. It was the dominant Protestant interpretation for centuries. The Anglican Reformers, the Presbyterian Reformers, the Baptist pioneers, the Methodist founder John Wesley, and many others all identified the Antichrist as the papal system rather than a single future individual. This historical consensus is well documented in works such as Romanism and the Reformation by Henry Grattan Guinness.

    In response to the Reformation, Jesuit scholars developed alternative prophetic systems that shifted attention away from the papacy. Francisco Ribera published a commentary in 1590 placing most of the prophecies of Antichrist into a brief future period involving a single individual, a rebuilt temple, and restored Jewish sacrifices.
    These ideas have infiltrated many evangelical churches who has given up the protest against the papacy and has effectively lost their identity as Protestants.

    The teaching spread widely in the nineteenth century through John Nelson Darby, who popularized dispensationalism. His ideas separated God's plan for Israel from His plan for the church and placed many prophecies into a future seven-year tribulation centered on a rebuilt temple. These teachings became enormously influential through the Scofield Reference Bible, whose notes shaped generations of Bible readers. Later books such as The Late Great Planet Earth and the Left Behind series brought these interpretations into popular culture. Although widely accepted today, popularity is not proof of truth. Isaiah declared, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (Isaiah 8:20).

    The importance of this issue extends far beyond the question of whether another temple will be built. The rebuilt-temple doctrine fundamentally changes where Christians expect the Antichrist to appear. If the Antichrist must sit in a literal temple in Jerusalem, then believers naturally conclude that he must be a future political ruler who has not yet arrived. Their attention is directed toward Israel, a future seven-year tribulation, and a coming world dictator who will one day enter a rebuilt sanctuary.

    Yet since the "temple of God" in 2 Thessalonians 2 refers to God's spiritual temple, the church, then the entire picture changes. Instead of looking for an unbelieving political leader to enter a Jewish temple, believers must look for a religious power arising within the sphere of professed Christianity that claims divine authority and exalts itself in God's place. The location of the temple determines the identity of the Antichrist. Change the temple from spiritual to literal, and the Antichrist is changed from a long-standing religious system into a future individual. This is why the interpretation of the temple is not a minor prophetic detail but the foundation upon which the entire identification of the Antichrist rests.

    The Bible consistently warns that the greatest deceptions come from within the realm of religion rather than from obvious enemies of God. Jesus warned of "false Christs, and false prophets" (Matthew 24:24). Paul warned the Ephesian elders that "grievous wolves" would arise from among God's own people (Acts 20:29-30). He also foretold a "falling away" before the revelation of the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Peter likewise warned of false teachers who would secretly introduce destructive errors (2 Peter 2:1). These warnings describe an apostasy arising within the visible community of faith, harmonizing with Paul's description of the man of sin sitting in God's temple.

    This explains why Satan would benefit from directing prophetic attention elsewhere. If Christians are convinced that the Antichrist will only appear after a future temple is rebuilt, they are less likely to examine the religious system that has exercised enormous influence over Christianity for centuries and fulfills the prophetic characteristics described in Daniel and Revelation. Instead of recognizing a power already operating in history, they continue waiting for someone else. In this way the expectation of a future temple does more than change prophetic chronology, it redirects prophetic attention. Rather than watching for the fulfillment of biblical characteristics already given in Scripture, many are waiting for a future event that becomes the prerequisite for identifying the Antichrist.

    This mistaken teaching serves as a deceptive diversion from the real issues presented in Bible prophecy. Revelation does not direct the world's attention to a rebuilt temple but to a beast that receives worldwide admiration and worship. "All the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3), and "all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him" (Revelation 13:8). Daniel described the same power as speaking "great words against the most High" and thinking "to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25). Paul warned that this power would exalt itself above God (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

    By persuading millions to look almost exclusively toward political events in Jerusalem and a future temple, attention is diverted from examining the continuing work of the power that Scripture identifies. Satan has always worked through deception, for Jesus called him "a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44), and Revelation 12:9 says he "deceiveth the whole world." The greatest deceptions are those that contain enough truth to hide serious error.

    The Bible reveals that God's people are called to fix their eyes on Christ rather than on an earthly building. Jesus declared, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up," speaking "of the temple of his body" (John 2:19-21). Believers are now "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). Hebrews repeatedly directs the believer's attention to Christ as our High Priest in heaven (Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 8:1-2). The book of Revelation portrays God's end-time people as those "that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12), not as those waiting for renewed animal sacrifices or an earthly sanctuary. Their attention is fixed upon the Lamb "that was slain" (Revelation 5:12), whose perfect sacrifice can never be repeated.

    The New Testament consistently teaches that the earthly temple reached its fulfillment in Jesus Christ and that its sacrificial system ended forever at the cross. When Christ died, "the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom" (Matthew 27:51), showing that the earthly sanctuary services had come to their end. Hebrews declares that Christ entered "into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us" (Hebrews 9:24), ministering in "the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man" (Hebrews 8:2).

    His sacrifice was offered "once for all" (Hebrews 10:10). To rebuild a temple for renewed sacrifices would deny the completeness of Christ's atoning work. The true focus of Bible prophecy is not an earthly sanctuary in Jerusalem but Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary.

    Conclusion
    The expectation of a third temple is not a harmless difference of prophetic opinion, but a teaching that shifts the focus away from Christ's finished sacrifice, His present ministry in heaven, and the identification of the power Scripture repeatedly warns against.

    The devil benefits whenever prophecy is misunderstood because error always hides truth. Paul warned that Satan transforms himself "into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), while Jesus warned that false prophets would arise and "deceive, if it were possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24).

    God's people are therefore called to search the Scriptures diligently, like the Bereans who "searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11). The safest guide is not popular prophecy, sensational headlines, or human tradition, but the clear testimony of God's Word, which points believers to Christ, His heavenly ministry, and the final conflict over worship and obedience described throughout Daniel and Revelation.

  • The Story Behind the Hymns
    THE STORY BEHIND "THINE BE THE GLORY"

    The beloved Easter hymn “Thine Be the Glory, Risen Conquering Son” carries a remarkable story that stretches across centuries, languages, and nations before becoming one of the most triumphant songs of the Christian faith.

    The words were written by Edmond Louis Budry (1854–1932), a Swiss pastor serving in the Free Evangelical Church in Vevey. Budry originally penned the hymn in French under the title “À Toi la Gloire,” which means “To Thee Be the Glory.” He wrote it around 1884, during a deeply painful season of his life following the death of his first wife. In the midst of grief, Budry turned to the message of Christ’s resurrection for comfort. From that reflection came a hymn overflowing with hope, triumph, and reassurance that death does not have the final word. The hymn was later included in a collection of his works published in 1890, though at that time it had not yet reached the global audience it would later enjoy.

    Interestingly, the melody most people associate with the hymn is much older than the words. The tune, known as “Maccabaeus,” was composed in 1747 by the renowned German-born composer George Frideric Handel for his oratorio Judas Maccabaeus. In that work, the melody appears in the chorus “See, the Conqu’ring Hero Comes.” Handel designed it as a celebratory anthem welcoming a victorious hero, and its bold, majestic character made it a perfect musical partner for a hymn celebrating Christ’s triumph over death.

    For many years Budry’s hymn remained largely within French-speaking congregations. Its journey into the wider world began in 1923, when Richard Birch Hoyle, a British Baptist minister, translated the text into English. Hoyle’s translation captured the power and spirit of Budry’s original words while introducing the unforgettable opening line that Christians across the world now know:

    “Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son;
    Endless is the victory Thou o’er death hast won.”

    Once Hoyle’s English translation was paired with Handel’s majestic tune, the hymn quickly spread through churches across Britain and beyond. Congregations embraced it because it beautifully captures the heart of the Easter message. The opening verse proclaims Christ’s victory over death, the second recalls the touching moment when Mary Magdalene meets the risen Christ near the empty tomb, and the final verse lifts the believer’s gaze to the hope that the resurrection brings, declaring that Christ’s triumph assures eternal life for all who trust in Him.

    Over time, “Thine Be the Glory” became firmly established as one of the most cherished hymns of Easter. In many churches it is sung as a grand conclusion to Easter Sunday services, with congregations rising to their feet while the organ swells with Handel’s triumphant melody. From great European cathedrals to lively churches across the world filled with vibrant voices, the hymn continues to ring out each year as a joyful declaration of the resurrection.

    More than a century after its English translation and nearly three centuries after the melody was first written, the hymn still resounds with the same powerful message: through the resurrection of Christ, death has been defeated and victory belongs to Him forever!

    Proverbs 11:30 (KJV)
    "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise."

    This verse beautifully connects the character of a person with their ultimate impact on the world around them. It breaks down into two distinct, parallel thoughts that enrich one another.

    1. "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life..."
    When you live an upright, godly life, the "fruit" (your words, actions, attitude, and lifestyle) provides life-giving nourishment to others.

    The Imagery;
    A single piece of fruit satisfies a temporary hunger, but a *tree of life* provides a continuous, multi-generational source of shade, shelter, and healing.

    Takeaway;
    Your righteousness isn’t just for your own personal benefit or salvation; it creates a microscopic ecosystem of health and life for the people around you. A truly good person makes the lives of others better, safer, and richer.

    2. "...and he that winneth souls is wise."
    In a modern context, we often hear "winning souls" strictly as an evangelical or theological term (converting people to a faith). While it absolutely includes sharing spiritual truth, the original Hebrew context adds a layer of beautiful, everyday nuance.

    A truly wise person knows how to influence, persuade, and reach the hearts of people. They don't drive people away with harshness, arrogance, or rigid judgment. Instead, their wisdom makes the truth appealing. They "win" people over to what is right, healthy, and good.

    The verse connects the two ideas intentionally. How do you win souls? By bearing the fruit of a tree of life.
    You cannot successfully win people over to wisdom if your lifestyle produces bitter, toxic fruit. People are drawn to the shade of a life-giving tree; once there, they are receptive to the wisdom that grew it. True wisdom is highly attractive and inherently life-giving.
    July 11, 2026 Saturday Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise." This verse beautifully connects the character of a person with their ultimate impact on the world around them. It breaks down into two distinct, parallel thoughts that enrich one another. 1. "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life..." When you live an upright, godly life, the "fruit" (your words, actions, attitude, and lifestyle) provides life-giving nourishment to others. The Imagery; A single piece of fruit satisfies a temporary hunger, but a *tree of life* provides a continuous, multi-generational source of shade, shelter, and healing. Takeaway; Your righteousness isn’t just for your own personal benefit or salvation; it creates a microscopic ecosystem of health and life for the people around you. A truly good person makes the lives of others better, safer, and richer. 2. "...and he that winneth souls is wise."

  • I SAW THE NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVEN AND THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

    by Thiago Owerton

    Revelation of the rapture of the church, the Lamb supper in the New Jerusalem.

    The revelation you hear was given to Brother Thiago Owerton by Jesus Himself on the Third of
    May 2014 so that the world would wake up about what is to come. Jesus is coming back
    On that Sunday night, I was on my knees around my bed asking for forgiveness for my mistakes,
    thanking God for everything. Then I slept.

    I remember that night I was very cold and it was raining a lot. Then I had fallen asleep around two
    in the morning. It was around four in the morning, I knew it because I saw the clock in the kitchen
    indicating the time. I do not know how to explain what followed.

    Suddenly someone burst into my room and he woke me up. I did not feel my body which was
    laying on the bed. I realized that I was awake and not in the body but rather in the spirit. Then a
    supernatural force took me to the hill next to my house.

    And when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was on the hill and it was day, but I did not understand
    what was happening on the hill. There was still fog on top of the hill and the city was still sleeping.

    I hardly heard noises, only the wind blowing and the birds singing. I suddenly heard soft music with
    their sounds almost like a flute. It shifted my whole body.

    I looked up from the city to the sky and I saw a being of light in the form of an angel. He was
    descending from Heaven as if he was floating and hovering over. I was just curious to know who
    was that brilliant and resplendent being who was coming towards me. I was still watching him
    approaching close to me. He was floating without touching the ground. He wore a white robe, his
    face shone brightly like the sun but I noticed an impressive radiance and glow on his face and my
    eyes could look at him without getting hurt. His countenance was a great light.

    Then he looked at me and smiled at me. His voice was the most beautiful that I've ever heard in my
    entire life. It was sweet. At the moment he told me, “You invoked the Lord who searches the heart.

    He sent me to show you things that are hidden and things that people never imagined.”
    The moment he touched me, I was transported thousands of kilometers away. In seconds, I was
    taken to many places of the Earth. And in seconds, from there, I have seen incredible things that
    have changed my life forever.

    The Angel of the Lord took my hand and we quickly flew out together towards the center of the
    planet Earth to a country called Croatia. He took me to a street where I was seeing a procession. I
    saw that there were many people worshiping idols there. I realized at that moment that people were
    passing in front of me. They did not see me.

    I was with the angel observing people from a window. They could not see us. I was not only
    accompanied by the angel, I was also accompanied by my wife and my son Michael who today is
    four years old, but in the vision, he appears to be seven years of age. I realized that in this vision we
    were in the future time. We were observing the future from a window. There was also a child that
    had white hair smooth with curly ends.

    The angel instructed the 11-year boy and my son to step out of the window in the physical reality
    and evangelize.

    He said to them, “Chosen Ones, go to the midst of the people and evangelize.”
    They both came out in the middle of the procession and began to preach the Word of God. But
    people seemed to bother with the presence of little Michael, who was talking about the love of Jesus
    and trying to deliver the brochures to all the people that were there. I saw people pushing him and
    trying to assault my child who was so small and helpless.

    The Spirit of God did not let that happen. My son returned to the spiritual window where I was and
    he was sad with tears. He looked at me for comfort and he shook the head as if he was trying to tell
    me, “Dad, I could not evangelize. They did not want to hear the words of salvation. They did not
    want to understand the love of Jesus in their lives.”
    Then the angel smiled at him and took the leaflets from his hand and caressed his head.

    Then he looked at me and said, “Take the leaflets Son of Man, go to the crowd and evangelize.”
    Immediately I was overwhelmed by a strong desire to speak of the love of Jesus to all without fear.

    I went out of the window where I started to speak up in a loud voice, “Jesus is coming back, Jesus is
    coming back. He is the hope of the world. Repent and accept Him as the Savior of your lives.”
    But nobody wanted to hear that. Many of the people were heading in my direction to attack me.

    They said, “Arrest this Christian. He deserves to die. We do not want your Jesus because we have
    our gods.”
    At that moment, I saw the crowd coming into my direction to kill me. I was very scared and when I
    closed my eyes, I felt my body flying as fast as the speed of light. When I opened my eyes again, I
    was inside the spiritual window with the angel who smiled at me. My wife, my son and my little
    girl, were looking out from the window. I saw Croatia no more.

    We were somewhere else in another country in a square full of people and there was a party. At that
    moment, I realized that we were in France. We tried to evangelize. But the beautiful people called
    me crazy and the crowd screamed, “Kill this Christian. And let's see if Jesus that he preaches will
    save him. Because we don't need to be saved from anything. We are well.”
    Then all these people began to run in my direction with great fury to kill me. I once again felt the
    power of the Spirit of God pulling me into the spiritual window and took me to another place.

    When I opened my eyes, I was in another place. I remember that the climate was hot. The day was
    clear without clouds in the sky. I knew I was in the Middle East. When I looked in front of me there
    was a multitude of bodies on the ground and I was in the midst of all those bodies. The bodies were
    mutilated, and I saw decapitated heads. Charred bodies were rotting with very strong smell. I knew
    that all these bodies belong to Christians, people who have been killed because they have
    proclaimed the Word of God.

    When I turned to look, I saw war. I saw people killing each other with machine guns and all kinds
    of weapons. I went into the middle of the war and saw that those who fought were Jews and
    Muslims and other peoples as well.

    So I began to shout aloud the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, but no one cared. Then I saw men running
    in my direction to kill me.

    Suddenly, I was taken back by the Spirit to my city. I was in a small church near my house. I was
    preaching God's Word to all those people that were there. I remember screaming loudly to everyone
    to repent of their sins because Jesus is coming back. People here were saved but they were carnal.

    They did not humble themselves to repent. I shouted to them to repent or they will be sentenced to
    eternal death. But they were accustomed to hearing the Word of God so they did not pay attention.

    They hardened their hearts.

    Many of them didn't respect the house of the Lord. They were chewing gum while others gossiped.

    They talked to each other and others were laughing and mocking me in their heart. I did not care
    about that. I shouted louder so that they should repent. I shouted, “Jesus is coming back!” but they
    did not hear. They were there only with their bodies, but their minds were far from the Lord.

    In that moment, I began to feel a strong presence of God. My heart was beating fast, and I started to
    shake while I was still preaching. Suddenly, I saw a strong light entering the gate of the church. A
    couple sitting in the crowd saw it as well. Together, we began to contemplate that light. No one else
    could see the light except the three of us.

    Inside the light, I saw a white cloud heading in my direction. At that moment, I was sure that Jesus
    had returned to take the chosen ones to eternal life. I started to cry and I shouted to the people with
    all my strength, “Jesus has returned. Repent for the love of God. Repent from your sin.”
    With a sad heart, I saw that crowd bursting into laughter and mocking me. Then I fell on my knees
    crying out to God for all these people listening to me. At that moment I also saw the cry of the Lord
    and the couple who were standing in the crowd. And then came a voice from Heaven like the sound
    of thunder. It was heard throughout the whole planet.

    The voice said, “The end is here.”
    At that moment the Earth stopped turning, the time stopped and a great earthquake happened. Then
    all the wicked and sinners fell to the ground with much violence.

    I began to hear people in the church calling the name of the Lord.

    They shouted to the Lord out loud for forgiveness, saying there were sorry, but it was too late.

    For this reason, you also must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do
    not expect Him.

    The cloud of light in this church took two babies and also the couple that stood up. We began to
    float within the church. People got scared when they saw this. At that moment, I felt my body
    becoming light as if there was a force pulling me in the air in a horizontal trajectory out of the
    church.

    At that moment, despair took over all the people that were left there in the church. I saw young
    adults, couples, and parents in and out of the church in all places in despair because they understood
    that we were going up.

    Then several people clung to my legs with their hands, saying, “I want to go. Take me with you. I
    played with Jesus, please forgive me.”
    I began to pray because all of them were on me. As a result, they were no longer able to bear the
    power of God. A force dragged me outside the church and pulled me up.

    When I looked down, I saw many that were left behind. They were in full agony and despair. I
    realized that many were coming up beside me everywhere, but they were far fewer than those who
    are left behind, maybe 1000 times less than those who were behind.

    What I witnessed was scary. I saw people running from one side to another in total confusion. The
    crowd was crying out for forgiveness, but there was no hope. I still cried for all the lost souls.

    When I was rising in the clouds, a ray of light emerged and touched my forehead. As a result, I
    receive a new name that was in that ray of light. I do not know what was written. But when I was
    touched by this ray of light, I felt the power of God passing through my body. Suddenly my
    garments were changed and I acquired a garment that was whiter than snow. And I noticed that I
    was wearing sandals on my feet that were golden. From my forehead was flowing a glowing light
    that went down throughout all my body like rain until it reaches the soles of my feet.

    At that moment, I acquired the ability to fly in that very moment the same ray of light entered in my
    eyes. As a result I was given the gift of the eye of an eagle. I could fly wherever I wanted to fly. The
    Bible says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with
    wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
    I thought I was two meters away, but I noticed that I was already above the clouds. I noticed on my
    left my son and my wife. I know some of my people were there, but most did not make it. There
    were people from all parts of the Earth. I was seeing people of various races, languages, colors, and
    cultures.

    So I looked down to Portugal again, I saw a church that was in total despair because the shepherd
    could not be caught in the rapture. He could not fly. I also saw people who never had entered an
    evangelical church but were rising too and I did not understand.

    The Angel of the Lord approached me and said, “Remember, the mysteries and the plans of God are
    not to be understood, but they are to be accepted because He is the Master. The world has given
    itself to religions. According to your choices, you will receive your reward.”
    At that moment I saw radiant and resplendent angels of Heaven. They were standing around the
    opening above the Earth's atmosphere, and they were sounding the trumpets. As a result, a light
    descended from Heaven and from within the light was a rider and knight who appeared in the light.

    He was riding a white horse and He was in His golden armor. I saw that it was written on His thigh,
    “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
    Then He raised His sword and said, “Everything is finished on the Earth. I'm the Morning Star.”
    At that moment I saw Michael, the Prince of the Lord’s Armies on the Earth who spoke in an
    unknown language that I never heard on Earth, but everyone understood his voice. In that tower, all
    the hills of the Earth fell and there was a great earthquake. I was facing the light of the Lord and my
    eyes ached. When he spoke, his explosive and thunderous voice was powerful in the ears of all
    saints who were floating there above the Earth.

    It was also possible to hear people shouting down on the Earth. They could not bear to look at the
    light that was the Son of God Himself, whose explosive voice was also heard on the face of the
    Earth. The wicked could not bear to hear the powerful voice that was so strong.

    Then I saw behind the Lord objects in queer shapes that looked like spaceships but were not made
    from a material of the Earth or known to man. The carriages were made of pure power. The celestial
    chariots of light were made of flames of fire that were adorned with sheer glory and light. They
    were thousands of thousands of them. Then the supernatural force of the Lord settled a million
    saints into the carriages of the Celestial chariots of light and fire.

    Once the angels sealed the doors of the chariots of fire, we started our trip to the eternal kingdom of
    Heaven. I remember that I saw the sun stopped shining, the moon turned red as blood. We then
    traveled in a blink of an eye at an incredible speed that it is impossible to describe.

    Suddenly, we surged into a place similar to a planet that seems 10 times or perhaps 20 times the
    mass of the Earth. We were beholding a world of glorious light before us. I saw that there was no
    sun and no moon. There existed no night and no stars shone in the light of day. It was incredible and
    extraordinary. So we all stood before a huge gate of pearl. The pearly gate there was an immense
    garden with green grass and many fruits.

    Then a radiant Angel approached and said, “Enter into the joy of Your Master.”
    And everyone started going through this gate. I saw everyone entering the gate of the city. When it
    got to my turn something surprising happened. When passing through the gate, I felt like I was
    floating and I noticed that my body was transformed. The body that was perishable is raised
    imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in
    power. It is sown in a natural body but it is raised a spiritual body.

    If there is a natural body there is also a spiritual body. I no longer had the body of flesh. I no longer
    had a carnal skin since my skin became transparent light as a spirit of diamond color. I looked at my
    hands and I saw that I could see through them. I realized that red blood was no longer flowing in
    my veins. Instead, there was light and lightning raging strong in my system.

    There was electricity in this immortal body. The light that was flowing in my glorified body was
    golden as if it was fire. I realized that we were the same as Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible said, we
    will be like him.

    1John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be.

    But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

    One difference is that His brilliance and radiance was stronger.

    The wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness
    like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
    I looked at all the saints that were there. I realized that I knew the name of each one of them.

    Moreover, I saw that it was no longer possible to see their faces because of the brightness that they
    had.

    But I knew who was who. We were entering this celestial garden, then we saw before us in the
    middle of the garden, a huge and infinite table that went forever. I saw golden chairs aligned to this
    unending table, then a banquet appeared on the same table. The taste of the smell of that food is
    impossible to describe. There is nothing like that on the Earth smelling so tasty. And everybody
    took a seat in order to be served the meal. We all sat and dined. Nobody was left standing and no
    one was left without seat and food. Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the
    Lamb.

    I noticed that Jesus was not in one location, but He was everywhere at the same time. I have seen
    Him in three places at the same time. There was a lot of joy and a lot of party and fun. This festivity
    and banquet did not stop. It was a seven years party. Many will come from east and west and recline
    at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. I noticed that during this
    seven years period, the Christians were continually eating and drinking. No one became fat yet the
    saints were eating and enjoying continually.

    Many of the things that I saw during the seven years of banquet were beyond men’s imagination. I
    saw glittering and radiant precious stones that do not exist on the Earth. I saw living and vibrant
    colors that were beyond understanding. While the banquet continued for seven years, we did not
    realize the time elapsing on Earth.

    Actually our memories of the Earth were removed. They had been taken away by God. The Mighty
    Lord was sitting on the Throne and that was the source of light that illuminated everything. He was
    the Light lighting the whole celestial kingdom.

    So after seven years of the banquet of the Lamb, the angel of the North, of the South, of the East
    and of the West stood before God's Throne. They showed themselves before the Almighty Who
    reigns forever, who is the Light of all the existence, the Master of all that exists. He is the Lord that
    the saints have not yet contemplated nor the face of the Creator that had been worshiped by the
    saints yet.

    Than the angels blew the trumpets in a loud voice before the Mighty One who reigns eternally, the
    One who is the light of all existence, the Master of everything that exists. As a result, in all the
    Heaven the saints, the cherubim and angels all prostrated themselves before the Creator and they
    pressed their faces to the ground and worshiped Him.

    Then the Throne of God moved closer to the people, then He spoke in a huge voice, “Now all things
    are subjected to My Son.”
    Everybody worshiped Him, the saints of Heaven and the angels said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, the whole
    universe is full of Your glory.”
    Then I saw emerging from behind the throne, a huge city that was being created by God Himself. It
    descended from God toward the saints and the angels of the Lord. I do not know how to describe its
    full size or width. But there never was and never there will be a city like that. It was made of gold.

    There was a river of crystal glass and streets of gold. The houses were made of precious stones. Its
    walls impenetrable as they were very high.

    The Angel of the Lord came down and led us to the gate of a city. We entered into the holy city that
    the Lord Almighty prepared for us. The angels led us to the city and I flew over it. When everyone
    was there in the holy city, admiring I saw the throne of God descending in the middle of the city. He
    left the transparent dome like glass that sealed the whole city through the walls and filled all its
    extension and its space.

    At that moment, the order was given by the Lord to descend to the Earth. We were inside the holy
    city that was descending. We were heading back to Earth. I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem,
    coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,
    and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their
    God. (Revelation 21:3)”
    And when we got to the solar system, I looked up and I saw that the sun did not really shine, the
    stars disappeared.

    The sea no longer existed and there was no water anywhere. The ground was empty, but there was
    still a man who was lying on the Earth. The holy city and the glory of God began to enter the Earth.

    I was amazed to see the brightness of the city of glory.

    The man who was lying in the middle, he lifted up his head and stood and shook his body and his
    arms. At that moment the ashes that were around him fell and he turned into a cherubim of immense
    wings.

    Then the holy city landed on the Earth right in the center of the ancient Jerusalem, and the dome
    kept the city open. The throne of the Lord and the Lamb were over the entrance.

    The Lamb was sitting next to the Creator, and an immense crystal ramp came down from the
    Throne to touch the Earth. And then at the end of the ramp was a light. Then I saw God standing
    from the throne.

    I was on the side of the Lord's throne, I saw something spectacular. A breath came out of God and
    spread throughout the Earth. As a result, I saw the redemption of the Earth, the air and the sea. I saw
    the sea rising again. Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and Earth had
    passed away and the sea was no more.

    Romans 8:18-21 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
    with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for
    the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,
    but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall
    be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

    In a blink of an eye, God restored the Earth. I saw that the Earth and all that was in it, all the sin and
    Satan and his demons were destroyed together in the Lake of Fire. They disappeared forever from
    the whole universe and the Lord rebuilt the sky and the Earth and the land. There was a rock of
    grass green with trees and crystal clear waters. All animals were good.

    In this age, there was only one city and in the middle of the city, there was a river of crystal clear
    water, and the tree of life that gave 12 fruits per year.

    In this city in the new Earth and new Heaven I realized that I was very smart. I had superior
    knowledge. I knew physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, astronomy. It was as if a part
    of me that awakened, a part of us that died in the Adamic sin was restored. I was no longer hungry
    and had no need to sleep. I could travel to wherever I wanted with the power of thought. I could
    move to any part of the Earth in the speed of thought.

    Then I saw Jesus sitting next to a source of water and playing with children. I approached Him.

    When He saw me He hugged me. I looked into His flaming eyes and told Him that I had a request
    to make. He looked at me in the eye and smiled.

    I said, “You gave me so many revelations. You granted me to see God, and so many other
    extraordinary things that I have experienced, but I still have a dream. I know the beautiful things
    that God created far from here on Earth. I read one day in Your words that all that God created
    would be revealed to men. I wish I can see the mystery of God that is yet to be revealed that is
    hidden.”
    Jesus was not willing to reveal more mystery. Then a breath came out of the mouth of God. As a
    result, I saw the reconstruction of the bodies of all those who had died without Jesus. I saw the dust
    of the Earth and water. I saw visceral arteries be reconstructed, bones were refitted, then blood in
    their veins and organs, hair and skin, and the breath of God blew inside the nostrils of the dead, and
    they came back to life the same way they had died with all the consciousness and conscience of
    their past lives as if they were awakened from a deep sleep.

    And I saw the dead great and small, standing before the Throne. And there were open books and
    one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds as recorded in
    the books. I saw a being of light among the crowd of the dead. It was Satan and his demons who
    were to be judged before the Throne of God and angels.

    I saw angels with huge books, and I heard a voice coming from the Throne of God and that voice
    called the first person. The man was in a suit and carried something in his hands that looked like a
    Bible and he stepped to the Lord’s Throne and adored Him. When he raised his head, I saw terror in
    him.

    God had not yet said anything, but the sins of that man began to torment him right there in front of
    the Creator. Then I saw Satan looking at him.

    The man started to scream, “Lord, I am the pastor, I did Your will. I won souls for Your kingdom. I
    built temples for Your name and made sacrifices. I walked all my life according to Your word, but I
    am here being judged by You, instead of being rewarded with Your heavenly joy and glory.”
    Then I saw God give a sign to the angel. Then the angel brought a huge book and touched the book.

    The book opened and the angel said, “Here is your story where your most hidden secrets are
    written.”
    The man was filled with fear and despair.

    The angel said to this pastor, “What you just said is true. However, later in your walk with God,
    your heart changed. It was corrupted for money. You introduced doctrines in the church that were
    not within the Word of God because you lived many lives. You are stealing the tithes and offerings
    of the house of the Lord for your own benefit for greed. Money that can be spent on God’s house,
    you spent it on your carnal desire. You ended up in fornication and drinking. Your wife inside the
    house waited for forgiveness and reconciliation but you never asked her. Today the Creator has tried
    you according to your works.”
    Then I saw on the side, a river of fire that seemed like volcanic lava. It stretched across the land.

    The angel of the Lord took the man and cast him to the abyss of the river of fire and he was
    consumed.

    Afterward, the voice that came out of the Throne of God called another man, and I saw someone
    coming out from within the crowd on the ramp. And when arriving before God, he prostrated.

    Another angel was called. The angel stepped forward and the book was opened.

    In that book was written the whole history of that young man who began to speak desperately with
    tears in the eyes almost without a voice.

    He said, “Sir, I acknowledge that You are God. I've lived my whole life believing in You. I attended
    church service every week to worship. I always prayed in the church. I was evangelizing. I did what
    Your words told me. But why am I being judged by You? Why am I not in the holy city and Your
    heavenly joy?”
    Then God gave a signal to the angel who started reading the book and he said, “You often
    worshiped God who blesses you. You read the Scriptures daily, but your heart was in the world but
    not the Scriptures. You were praying to God but you did not regret your sins. You performed your
    services in Church but you did not win souls for God. You despised your own family. You did not
    love your family and your children because your friends were more important. One of them is the
    love of money. It is written love one another as the Lord loves you. You forgot about the true
    essence of God that is love. So you are being tried in the court of divine justice with truth and
    wisdom.”
    At that moment fire came down from Heaven and consumed the young man right there and he was
    thrown into the fire.

    Then I saw a young man of about 17 to 18 years old who came to the ramp. He was well dressed
    and came forward and prostrated. Then he raised his head and beheld the glory of God. At that
    moment he was filled with fear and started crying desperately. So once again, God called another
    angel who came with a book in his hand and which was written the life of that boy who said
    nothing. But I saw the terror in his eyes. He was terrified.

    The angel started to read a book and said, “You were blessed since you were born and you were
    raised in a rich family where you lacked nothing. You always had available drink and food. You had
    all the wealth of the Earth. You had an issue of loving your neighbor. Your parents prepared
    everything they had for you. But when your parents heard about the death of the Creator, they
    accepted Him in their hearts, hoping that you will join them, but you rebelled against them. You
    hardened your heart when the Lord was calling you. Is it not true that you preferred drugs? Alcohol
    and prostitution dominated you. You preferred that lifestyle over the Lord and the love of God. Your
    parents who were obedient though they had everything loved you and had affection for you. Later
    in your life a believer offered you an invitation to accept Jesus Christ in your life. However you
    thought nothing else matters, except to have fun, partying with friends. You did not care about your
    family and God. One day a last chance of salvation came in your life. On that day the Lord Jesus
    Christ made you the last invitation through your own parents. But you said, “I do not need this Jesus
    Christ. I do not need this God of yours.” Despite the fact that time after time you fell victim of your
    own drug poison, Jesus Christ brought you back to life, the same Jesus that you refused and denied.

    Now you are being tried in God’s tribunal where there is no forgiveness to those who rejected His
    name.”
    At that moment. I saw God standing up and He looked at the young man and ordered his
    punishment And the angels took him and cast him in the lake of eternal fire to be tormented for all
    his sins.

    The multitudes who were there before God knelt and adored Him. It was hard for me to see all this
    judgment especially of seeing all those people who had the chance and opportunity of God's love.

    The multitude of people that were before God were all judged according to their works. I do not
    know how long that trial lasted.

    Later on, we traveled towards my city and landed at the same place on top of the hill. I saw the
    whole city from above and stayed confused at that moment. I did not understand what was
    happening.

    Then he touched my forehead and my memories came back. My head remembered everything I had
    seen and felt. I wanted to go back. I wanted to stay there with Him in that wonderful place forever. I
    wanted to be with my Lord forever.

    Jesus said, “I chose you to be a witness of all these things I've shown you.”
    But I wanted to go back anyway. I wanted to stay there with Jesus.
    I SAW THE NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVEN AND THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT by Thiago Owerton Revelation of the rapture of the church, the Lamb supper in the New Jerusalem. The revelation you hear was given to Brother Thiago Owerton by Jesus Himself on the Third of May 2014 so that the world would wake up about what is to come. Jesus is coming back On that Sunday night, I was on my knees around my bed asking for forgiveness for my mistakes, thanking God for everything. Then I slept. I remember that night I was very cold and it was raining a lot. Then I had fallen asleep around two in the morning. It was around four in the morning, I knew it because I saw the clock in the kitchen indicating the time. I do not know how to explain what followed. Suddenly someone burst into my room and he woke me up. I did not feel my body which was laying on the bed. I realized that I was awake and not in the body but rather in the spirit. Then a supernatural force took me to the hill next to my house. And when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was on the hill and it was day, but I did not understand what was happening on the hill. There was still fog on top of the hill and the city was still sleeping. I hardly heard noises, only the wind blowing and the birds singing. I suddenly heard soft music with their sounds almost like a flute. It shifted my whole body. I looked up from the city to the sky and I saw a being of light in the form of an angel. He was descending from Heaven as if he was floating and hovering over. I was just curious to know who was that brilliant and resplendent being who was coming towards me. I was still watching him approaching close to me. He was floating without touching the ground. He wore a white robe, his face shone brightly like the sun but I noticed an impressive radiance and glow on his face and my eyes could look at him without getting hurt. His countenance was a great light. Then he looked at me and smiled at me. His voice was the most beautiful that I've ever heard in my entire life. It was sweet. At the moment he told me, “You invoked the Lord who searches the heart. He sent me to show you things that are hidden and things that people never imagined.” The moment he touched me, I was transported thousands of kilometers away. In seconds, I was taken to many places of the Earth. And in seconds, from there, I have seen incredible things that have changed my life forever. The Angel of the Lord took my hand and we quickly flew out together towards the center of the planet Earth to a country called Croatia. He took me to a street where I was seeing a procession. I saw that there were many people worshiping idols there. I realized at that moment that people were passing in front of me. They did not see me. I was with the angel observing people from a window. They could not see us. I was not only accompanied by the angel, I was also accompanied by my wife and my son Michael who today is four years old, but in the vision, he appears to be seven years of age. I realized that in this vision we were in the future time. We were observing the future from a window. There was also a child that had white hair smooth with curly ends. The angel instructed the 11-year boy and my son to step out of the window in the physical reality and evangelize. He said to them, “Chosen Ones, go to the midst of the people and evangelize.” They both came out in the middle of the procession and began to preach the Word of God. But people seemed to bother with the presence of little Michael, who was talking about the love of Jesus and trying to deliver the brochures to all the people that were there. I saw people pushing him and trying to assault my child who was so small and helpless. The Spirit of God did not let that happen. My son returned to the spiritual window where I was and he was sad with tears. He looked at me for comfort and he shook the head as if he was trying to tell me, “Dad, I could not evangelize. They did not want to hear the words of salvation. They did not want to understand the love of Jesus in their lives.” Then the angel smiled at him and took the leaflets from his hand and caressed his head. Then he looked at me and said, “Take the leaflets Son of Man, go to the crowd and evangelize.” Immediately I was overwhelmed by a strong desire to speak of the love of Jesus to all without fear. I went out of the window where I started to speak up in a loud voice, “Jesus is coming back, Jesus is coming back. He is the hope of the world. Repent and accept Him as the Savior of your lives.” But nobody wanted to hear that. Many of the people were heading in my direction to attack me. They said, “Arrest this Christian. He deserves to die. We do not want your Jesus because we have our gods.” At that moment, I saw the crowd coming into my direction to kill me. I was very scared and when I closed my eyes, I felt my body flying as fast as the speed of light. When I opened my eyes again, I was inside the spiritual window with the angel who smiled at me. My wife, my son and my little girl, were looking out from the window. I saw Croatia no more. We were somewhere else in another country in a square full of people and there was a party. At that moment, I realized that we were in France. We tried to evangelize. But the beautiful people called me crazy and the crowd screamed, “Kill this Christian. And let's see if Jesus that he preaches will save him. Because we don't need to be saved from anything. We are well.” Then all these people began to run in my direction with great fury to kill me. I once again felt the power of the Spirit of God pulling me into the spiritual window and took me to another place. When I opened my eyes, I was in another place. I remember that the climate was hot. The day was clear without clouds in the sky. I knew I was in the Middle East. When I looked in front of me there was a multitude of bodies on the ground and I was in the midst of all those bodies. The bodies were mutilated, and I saw decapitated heads. Charred bodies were rotting with very strong smell. I knew that all these bodies belong to Christians, people who have been killed because they have proclaimed the Word of God. When I turned to look, I saw war. I saw people killing each other with machine guns and all kinds of weapons. I went into the middle of the war and saw that those who fought were Jews and Muslims and other peoples as well. So I began to shout aloud the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, but no one cared. Then I saw men running in my direction to kill me. Suddenly, I was taken back by the Spirit to my city. I was in a small church near my house. I was preaching God's Word to all those people that were there. I remember screaming loudly to everyone to repent of their sins because Jesus is coming back. People here were saved but they were carnal. They did not humble themselves to repent. I shouted to them to repent or they will be sentenced to eternal death. But they were accustomed to hearing the Word of God so they did not pay attention. They hardened their hearts. Many of them didn't respect the house of the Lord. They were chewing gum while others gossiped. They talked to each other and others were laughing and mocking me in their heart. I did not care about that. I shouted louder so that they should repent. I shouted, “Jesus is coming back!” but they did not hear. They were there only with their bodies, but their minds were far from the Lord. In that moment, I began to feel a strong presence of God. My heart was beating fast, and I started to shake while I was still preaching. Suddenly, I saw a strong light entering the gate of the church. A couple sitting in the crowd saw it as well. Together, we began to contemplate that light. No one else could see the light except the three of us. Inside the light, I saw a white cloud heading in my direction. At that moment, I was sure that Jesus had returned to take the chosen ones to eternal life. I started to cry and I shouted to the people with all my strength, “Jesus has returned. Repent for the love of God. Repent from your sin.” With a sad heart, I saw that crowd bursting into laughter and mocking me. Then I fell on my knees crying out to God for all these people listening to me. At that moment I also saw the cry of the Lord and the couple who were standing in the crowd. And then came a voice from Heaven like the sound of thunder. It was heard throughout the whole planet. The voice said, “The end is here.” At that moment the Earth stopped turning, the time stopped and a great earthquake happened. Then all the wicked and sinners fell to the ground with much violence. I began to hear people in the church calling the name of the Lord. They shouted to the Lord out loud for forgiveness, saying there were sorry, but it was too late. For this reason, you also must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him. The cloud of light in this church took two babies and also the couple that stood up. We began to float within the church. People got scared when they saw this. At that moment, I felt my body becoming light as if there was a force pulling me in the air in a horizontal trajectory out of the church. At that moment, despair took over all the people that were left there in the church. I saw young adults, couples, and parents in and out of the church in all places in despair because they understood that we were going up. Then several people clung to my legs with their hands, saying, “I want to go. Take me with you. I played with Jesus, please forgive me.” I began to pray because all of them were on me. As a result, they were no longer able to bear the power of God. A force dragged me outside the church and pulled me up. When I looked down, I saw many that were left behind. They were in full agony and despair. I realized that many were coming up beside me everywhere, but they were far fewer than those who are left behind, maybe 1000 times less than those who were behind. What I witnessed was scary. I saw people running from one side to another in total confusion. The crowd was crying out for forgiveness, but there was no hope. I still cried for all the lost souls. When I was rising in the clouds, a ray of light emerged and touched my forehead. As a result, I receive a new name that was in that ray of light. I do not know what was written. But when I was touched by this ray of light, I felt the power of God passing through my body. Suddenly my garments were changed and I acquired a garment that was whiter than snow. And I noticed that I was wearing sandals on my feet that were golden. From my forehead was flowing a glowing light that went down throughout all my body like rain until it reaches the soles of my feet. At that moment, I acquired the ability to fly in that very moment the same ray of light entered in my eyes. As a result I was given the gift of the eye of an eagle. I could fly wherever I wanted to fly. The Bible says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31) I thought I was two meters away, but I noticed that I was already above the clouds. I noticed on my left my son and my wife. I know some of my people were there, but most did not make it. There were people from all parts of the Earth. I was seeing people of various races, languages, colors, and cultures. So I looked down to Portugal again, I saw a church that was in total despair because the shepherd could not be caught in the rapture. He could not fly. I also saw people who never had entered an evangelical church but were rising too and I did not understand. The Angel of the Lord approached me and said, “Remember, the mysteries and the plans of God are not to be understood, but they are to be accepted because He is the Master. The world has given itself to religions. According to your choices, you will receive your reward.” At that moment I saw radiant and resplendent angels of Heaven. They were standing around the opening above the Earth's atmosphere, and they were sounding the trumpets. As a result, a light descended from Heaven and from within the light was a rider and knight who appeared in the light. He was riding a white horse and He was in His golden armor. I saw that it was written on His thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Then He raised His sword and said, “Everything is finished on the Earth. I'm the Morning Star.” At that moment I saw Michael, the Prince of the Lord’s Armies on the Earth who spoke in an unknown language that I never heard on Earth, but everyone understood his voice. In that tower, all the hills of the Earth fell and there was a great earthquake. I was facing the light of the Lord and my eyes ached. When he spoke, his explosive and thunderous voice was powerful in the ears of all saints who were floating there above the Earth. It was also possible to hear people shouting down on the Earth. They could not bear to look at the light that was the Son of God Himself, whose explosive voice was also heard on the face of the Earth. The wicked could not bear to hear the powerful voice that was so strong. Then I saw behind the Lord objects in queer shapes that looked like spaceships but were not made from a material of the Earth or known to man. The carriages were made of pure power. The celestial chariots of light were made of flames of fire that were adorned with sheer glory and light. They were thousands of thousands of them. Then the supernatural force of the Lord settled a million saints into the carriages of the Celestial chariots of light and fire. Once the angels sealed the doors of the chariots of fire, we started our trip to the eternal kingdom of Heaven. I remember that I saw the sun stopped shining, the moon turned red as blood. We then traveled in a blink of an eye at an incredible speed that it is impossible to describe. Suddenly, we surged into a place similar to a planet that seems 10 times or perhaps 20 times the mass of the Earth. We were beholding a world of glorious light before us. I saw that there was no sun and no moon. There existed no night and no stars shone in the light of day. It was incredible and extraordinary. So we all stood before a huge gate of pearl. The pearly gate there was an immense garden with green grass and many fruits. Then a radiant Angel approached and said, “Enter into the joy of Your Master.” And everyone started going through this gate. I saw everyone entering the gate of the city. When it got to my turn something surprising happened. When passing through the gate, I felt like I was floating and I noticed that my body was transformed. The body that was perishable is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown in a natural body but it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body there is also a spiritual body. I no longer had the body of flesh. I no longer had a carnal skin since my skin became transparent light as a spirit of diamond color. I looked at my hands and I saw that I could see through them. I realized that red blood was no longer flowing in my veins. Instead, there was light and lightning raging strong in my system. There was electricity in this immortal body. The light that was flowing in my glorified body was golden as if it was fire. I realized that we were the same as Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible said, we will be like him. 1John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. One difference is that His brilliance and radiance was stronger. The wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3) I looked at all the saints that were there. I realized that I knew the name of each one of them. Moreover, I saw that it was no longer possible to see their faces because of the brightness that they had. But I knew who was who. We were entering this celestial garden, then we saw before us in the middle of the garden, a huge and infinite table that went forever. I saw golden chairs aligned to this unending table, then a banquet appeared on the same table. The taste of the smell of that food is impossible to describe. There is nothing like that on the Earth smelling so tasty. And everybody took a seat in order to be served the meal. We all sat and dined. Nobody was left standing and no one was left without seat and food. Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I noticed that Jesus was not in one location, but He was everywhere at the same time. I have seen Him in three places at the same time. There was a lot of joy and a lot of party and fun. This festivity and banquet did not stop. It was a seven years party. Many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. I noticed that during this seven years period, the Christians were continually eating and drinking. No one became fat yet the saints were eating and enjoying continually. Many of the things that I saw during the seven years of banquet were beyond men’s imagination. I saw glittering and radiant precious stones that do not exist on the Earth. I saw living and vibrant colors that were beyond understanding. While the banquet continued for seven years, we did not realize the time elapsing on Earth. Actually our memories of the Earth were removed. They had been taken away by God. The Mighty Lord was sitting on the Throne and that was the source of light that illuminated everything. He was the Light lighting the whole celestial kingdom. So after seven years of the banquet of the Lamb, the angel of the North, of the South, of the East and of the West stood before God's Throne. They showed themselves before the Almighty Who reigns forever, who is the Light of all the existence, the Master of all that exists. He is the Lord that the saints have not yet contemplated nor the face of the Creator that had been worshiped by the saints yet. Than the angels blew the trumpets in a loud voice before the Mighty One who reigns eternally, the One who is the light of all existence, the Master of everything that exists. As a result, in all the Heaven the saints, the cherubim and angels all prostrated themselves before the Creator and they pressed their faces to the ground and worshiped Him. Then the Throne of God moved closer to the people, then He spoke in a huge voice, “Now all things are subjected to My Son.” Everybody worshiped Him, the saints of Heaven and the angels said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, the whole universe is full of Your glory.” Then I saw emerging from behind the throne, a huge city that was being created by God Himself. It descended from God toward the saints and the angels of the Lord. I do not know how to describe its full size or width. But there never was and never there will be a city like that. It was made of gold. There was a river of crystal glass and streets of gold. The houses were made of precious stones. Its walls impenetrable as they were very high. The Angel of the Lord came down and led us to the gate of a city. We entered into the holy city that the Lord Almighty prepared for us. The angels led us to the city and I flew over it. When everyone was there in the holy city, admiring I saw the throne of God descending in the middle of the city. He left the transparent dome like glass that sealed the whole city through the walls and filled all its extension and its space. At that moment, the order was given by the Lord to descend to the Earth. We were inside the holy city that was descending. We were heading back to Earth. I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. (Revelation 21:3)” And when we got to the solar system, I looked up and I saw that the sun did not really shine, the stars disappeared. The sea no longer existed and there was no water anywhere. The ground was empty, but there was still a man who was lying on the Earth. The holy city and the glory of God began to enter the Earth. I was amazed to see the brightness of the city of glory. The man who was lying in the middle, he lifted up his head and stood and shook his body and his arms. At that moment the ashes that were around him fell and he turned into a cherubim of immense wings. Then the holy city landed on the Earth right in the center of the ancient Jerusalem, and the dome kept the city open. The throne of the Lord and the Lamb were over the entrance. The Lamb was sitting next to the Creator, and an immense crystal ramp came down from the Throne to touch the Earth. And then at the end of the ramp was a light. Then I saw God standing from the throne. I was on the side of the Lord's throne, I saw something spectacular. A breath came out of God and spread throughout the Earth. As a result, I saw the redemption of the Earth, the air and the sea. I saw the sea rising again. Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and Earth had passed away and the sea was no more. Romans 8:18-21 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. In a blink of an eye, God restored the Earth. I saw that the Earth and all that was in it, all the sin and Satan and his demons were destroyed together in the Lake of Fire. They disappeared forever from the whole universe and the Lord rebuilt the sky and the Earth and the land. There was a rock of grass green with trees and crystal clear waters. All animals were good. In this age, there was only one city and in the middle of the city, there was a river of crystal clear water, and the tree of life that gave 12 fruits per year. In this city in the new Earth and new Heaven I realized that I was very smart. I had superior knowledge. I knew physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, astronomy. It was as if a part of me that awakened, a part of us that died in the Adamic sin was restored. I was no longer hungry and had no need to sleep. I could travel to wherever I wanted with the power of thought. I could move to any part of the Earth in the speed of thought. Then I saw Jesus sitting next to a source of water and playing with children. I approached Him. When He saw me He hugged me. I looked into His flaming eyes and told Him that I had a request to make. He looked at me in the eye and smiled. I said, “You gave me so many revelations. You granted me to see God, and so many other extraordinary things that I have experienced, but I still have a dream. I know the beautiful things that God created far from here on Earth. I read one day in Your words that all that God created would be revealed to men. I wish I can see the mystery of God that is yet to be revealed that is hidden.” Jesus was not willing to reveal more mystery. Then a breath came out of the mouth of God. As a result, I saw the reconstruction of the bodies of all those who had died without Jesus. I saw the dust of the Earth and water. I saw visceral arteries be reconstructed, bones were refitted, then blood in their veins and organs, hair and skin, and the breath of God blew inside the nostrils of the dead, and they came back to life the same way they had died with all the consciousness and conscience of their past lives as if they were awakened from a deep sleep. And I saw the dead great and small, standing before the Throne. And there were open books and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds as recorded in the books. I saw a being of light among the crowd of the dead. It was Satan and his demons who were to be judged before the Throne of God and angels. I saw angels with huge books, and I heard a voice coming from the Throne of God and that voice called the first person. The man was in a suit and carried something in his hands that looked like a Bible and he stepped to the Lord’s Throne and adored Him. When he raised his head, I saw terror in him. God had not yet said anything, but the sins of that man began to torment him right there in front of the Creator. Then I saw Satan looking at him. The man started to scream, “Lord, I am the pastor, I did Your will. I won souls for Your kingdom. I built temples for Your name and made sacrifices. I walked all my life according to Your word, but I am here being judged by You, instead of being rewarded with Your heavenly joy and glory.” Then I saw God give a sign to the angel. Then the angel brought a huge book and touched the book. The book opened and the angel said, “Here is your story where your most hidden secrets are written.” The man was filled with fear and despair. The angel said to this pastor, “What you just said is true. However, later in your walk with God, your heart changed. It was corrupted for money. You introduced doctrines in the church that were not within the Word of God because you lived many lives. You are stealing the tithes and offerings of the house of the Lord for your own benefit for greed. Money that can be spent on God’s house, you spent it on your carnal desire. You ended up in fornication and drinking. Your wife inside the house waited for forgiveness and reconciliation but you never asked her. Today the Creator has tried you according to your works.” Then I saw on the side, a river of fire that seemed like volcanic lava. It stretched across the land. The angel of the Lord took the man and cast him to the abyss of the river of fire and he was consumed. Afterward, the voice that came out of the Throne of God called another man, and I saw someone coming out from within the crowd on the ramp. And when arriving before God, he prostrated. Another angel was called. The angel stepped forward and the book was opened. In that book was written the whole history of that young man who began to speak desperately with tears in the eyes almost without a voice. He said, “Sir, I acknowledge that You are God. I've lived my whole life believing in You. I attended church service every week to worship. I always prayed in the church. I was evangelizing. I did what Your words told me. But why am I being judged by You? Why am I not in the holy city and Your heavenly joy?” Then God gave a signal to the angel who started reading the book and he said, “You often worshiped God who blesses you. You read the Scriptures daily, but your heart was in the world but not the Scriptures. You were praying to God but you did not regret your sins. You performed your services in Church but you did not win souls for God. You despised your own family. You did not love your family and your children because your friends were more important. One of them is the love of money. It is written love one another as the Lord loves you. You forgot about the true essence of God that is love. So you are being tried in the court of divine justice with truth and wisdom.” At that moment fire came down from Heaven and consumed the young man right there and he was thrown into the fire. Then I saw a young man of about 17 to 18 years old who came to the ramp. He was well dressed and came forward and prostrated. Then he raised his head and beheld the glory of God. At that moment he was filled with fear and started crying desperately. So once again, God called another angel who came with a book in his hand and which was written the life of that boy who said nothing. But I saw the terror in his eyes. He was terrified. The angel started to read a book and said, “You were blessed since you were born and you were raised in a rich family where you lacked nothing. You always had available drink and food. You had all the wealth of the Earth. You had an issue of loving your neighbor. Your parents prepared everything they had for you. But when your parents heard about the death of the Creator, they accepted Him in their hearts, hoping that you will join them, but you rebelled against them. You hardened your heart when the Lord was calling you. Is it not true that you preferred drugs? Alcohol and prostitution dominated you. You preferred that lifestyle over the Lord and the love of God. Your parents who were obedient though they had everything loved you and had affection for you. Later in your life a believer offered you an invitation to accept Jesus Christ in your life. However you thought nothing else matters, except to have fun, partying with friends. You did not care about your family and God. One day a last chance of salvation came in your life. On that day the Lord Jesus Christ made you the last invitation through your own parents. But you said, “I do not need this Jesus Christ. I do not need this God of yours.” Despite the fact that time after time you fell victim of your own drug poison, Jesus Christ brought you back to life, the same Jesus that you refused and denied. Now you are being tried in God’s tribunal where there is no forgiveness to those who rejected His name.” At that moment. I saw God standing up and He looked at the young man and ordered his punishment And the angels took him and cast him in the lake of eternal fire to be tormented for all his sins. The multitudes who were there before God knelt and adored Him. It was hard for me to see all this judgment especially of seeing all those people who had the chance and opportunity of God's love. The multitude of people that were before God were all judged according to their works. I do not know how long that trial lasted. Later on, we traveled towards my city and landed at the same place on top of the hill. I saw the whole city from above and stayed confused at that moment. I did not understand what was happening. Then he touched my forehead and my memories came back. My head remembered everything I had seen and felt. I wanted to go back. I wanted to stay there with Him in that wonderful place forever. I wanted to be with my Lord forever. Jesus said, “I chose you to be a witness of all these things I've shown you.” But I wanted to go back anyway. I wanted to stay there with Jesus.

    Praise God for the continued growth of the church, from virtually no believers to nearly 15,000.
