In the next two chapters, we’ll finish up our section on Receiving a Fullness of Knowledge with the Seven Levels of Heaven. The word Heaven is used in the Bible in different contexts. We see that birds fly in the heavens. We see the moon and stars are in the heavens. And we see that Heaven is the eternal destination of man and the place where God dwells. Because all of us will be judged by our works – Rev. 20:12 - and merit degrees of salvation based on the extent that we responded to God’s truth, we see seven levels of Heaven. But before we get there, let’s track Humanity through the Endtimes and Millennium to arrive at Heaven. The Process of Perfection Our Process of Perfection looks like this: Individual Salvation Born of the Blood Redemption Born Again Sanctified Born of the Water > Born of the Spirit > Born of God > Married Exaltation Going Onto Perfection Exaltation Becomes Perfected > Reaches the Full Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son Mortality We’ll begin to track Humanity through the Endtimes and Millennium with a review of what we see in mortality as our starting point. In the last chapter, this is our view of Humanity in mortality.
Endtimes The Endtimes is the final period of mortality in which God separates Humanity, cleanses the earth of wickedness and establishes the Kingdom of God in preparation for the millennial reign of the Son of God – Yehovah-Yeshua. This period appears to have begun in 2025 with the election of Donald Trump, Jr. as president of the United States of America. President Trump appears to be in the throes of attempting to save America, which has begun a polarization of Humanity not only in America but in the world as a whole. Dr. Gileadi, “An entire separation of the righteous and the wicked occurs at the end of the world. While a glorious new age dawns for those of God’s people who repent, doomsday in all its horrors overtakes those who don’t. After sending prophets to warn humanity one last time, God brings on his judgment: “Come near, you nations, and hear! Pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth give heed, and all who are upon it, the world, and all who spring from it. Jehovah’s rage is upon all nations, his fury upon all their hosts; he has doomed them, consigned them to the slaughter. . . . For it is Jehovah’s day of vengeance, the year of retribution on behalf of Zion” (Isaiah 34:1–2, 8).”
The Separation of Humanity The hope of President Trump’s efforts to save America is that he will lead us into a golden age in America, but biblical prophesy would seem to say otherwise. President’s Trump actions against the globalist elites will most likely facilitate the arrival of the Anti-Messiah/Christ on the world stage. Anti-Messiah Our next polarizing event is the arrival of the Anti-Messiah/Christ. Those who buy into the Anti-Messiah’s financial system are slated for destruction. We will know this Anti-Messiah because he promotes a law system that is anti-God’s Law. Dr. Gileadi, “Isaiah’s version of an end-time Antichrist is the king of Assyria/Babylon, whom Isaiah portrays as a composite of types; that is, he combines several precedents of ancient tyrannical rulers to project a single end-time one—an all-time archtyrant. Setting a precedent for world conquerors from the North are the kings of Assyria (Isaiah 10:5–14; 37:18, 21–27). To that type, Isaiah adds the “king of Babylon,” perhaps the same world conqueror from the North but one who styles himself as a demi-god and who exemplifies Babylon’s idolatrous ideology (Isaiah 14:3–21; 47:1–8).” “On the other hand, there is an actual thief who precedes Jehovah’s coming—the end-time “king of Assyria.” As a world conqueror, he robs the world of its wealth, boasting, “I have done it by my own ability and shrewdness, for I am ingenious. I have done away with the borders of nations, I have ravaged their reserves, I have vastly reduced the inhabitants. I have impounded the wealth of peoples like a nest, and I have gathered up the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs; not one flapped its wings, or opened its mouth to utter a peep” (Isaiah 10:13–14).” God’s Servant - Three years of Warning Shortly after the arrival of the Anti-Messiah, another polarizing event occurs - the return of an Elijah appears who will bear the everlasting Gospel. – Malachi 4:4-6, Matthew 17:11, Rev. 14:6. This Servant will prophesy for three years giving Humanity ample time to repent and embrace his message. This Elijah also is one of the two witnesses to the Jews at Jerusalem. Dr. Gileadi, “Many people seem to imagine Jehovah’s coming to reign on the earth (or Jesus’ Second Coming in New Testament prophecy) as a single earth-shaking event. In reality, however—as Isaiah and the prophets predict—Jehovah’s coming consists of an entire series of earth-shaking events that prepare the world in general, and God’s people in particular, to receive him. In that end-time scenario, God’s servant functions as a forerunner to restore God’s covenant people and prepare them to meet God. God’s servant further acts as antidote to an end-time king of Assyria/Babylon—an Antichrist who commits mass genocide of the earth’s population.” “As “God will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7), he gives ample warning before cleansing the earth of wickedness—in the end-time as anciently. In Isaiah’s day, for example, God commands Isaiah to go naked and barefoot for three years as a portent of Assyria’s invasion of Egypt (Isaiah 20:2–4). (Not known for being politically correct by modern standards, God ever leaves room for doubters to spurn his warnings.) Similarly, God gives Moab, a kindred people, three years’ warning—“like the term of a lease”—before Moab’s glory turns to shame, its large populace perishes, and but few inhabitants remain (Isaiah 16:14).” Jacob/Israel Disappear In Isaiah’s view of Humanity, those who are Jacob/Israel are forced into choosing the idolatry of Babylon or ascend to Zion/Jerusalem. Dr. Gileadi, “As mentioned, Jacob/Israel is a key pivotal category of God’s people: from there, they either go up or down the ladder. At the end of the world, many ascend to Zion/Jerusalem, while many more descend to Babylon.”
The Endtime Exodus and 144,000 Saviors Immediately before Yehovah cleanses the world of wickedness, His Servant and fellow servants – 144,000 - leads the righteous out of Babylon in a new exodus. Dr. Gileadi, “Of the thirty ancient events of which Isaiah predicts new, end-time versions, a new exodus—patterned after Israel’s ancient exodus out of Egypt—is similarly followed by a new wandering in the wilderness. The new exodus, however, is out of the whole world—out of “Babylon”—which God is about to destroy: “Go forth out of Babylon, flee from Chaldea!” “As Lot was led out of Sodom, so are participants in the new exodus: “The righteous disappear, and no man gives it a thought; the godly are gathered out, but no one perceives that from impending calamity the righteous are withdrawn” (Isaiah 57:1). “Come out of her and be pure, you who bear Jehovah’s vessels. But you shall not leave in haste or go in flight: Jehovah will go before you, the God of Israel behind you” (Isaiah 52:11–12). “I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give up!’ to the south, ‘Withhold not! Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth’” (Isaiah 43:5–6).” “Just as Moses sang a Song of Salvation at the exodus out of Egypt, so those who return will sing a Song of Salvation at the new exodus:” “In a restatement of these events, Isaiah again depicts God’s raising his “hand” and “ensign” to bring about his people’s return from dispersion: “I will lift my hand to the nations, raise my ensign to the peoples, and they will bring your sons in their bosoms and carry your daughters on their shoulders. Kings will be your foster fathers and queens your nursing mothers.” (Isaiah 49:22–23; emphasis added.) In effect, when God raises his “hand” and “ensign” (when he empowers his servant), certain “kings” and “queens” among the nations (proxy saviors on the seraph level) assist the servant to gather … God’s people ….” Cleansing of the World – Three Years of Destruction The scriptures call the Endtime cleansing of the wicked – the Day of Yehovah – which lasts for three and a half years. Dr. Gileadi, “John’s vision of “the Lord’s day” or “Day of the Lord” (Revelation 1:10) depicts the same events. Whereas Isaiah encodes his end-time vision in the historical events of his day, John encodes it in imagery. When you match up the characters, you see that both describe the same end-time scenario. The “great whore” that “corrupts the earth with her fornications” (Revelation 19:2) is the harlot Babylon who rules as “Mistress of Kingdoms” (Isaiah 47:5–8). The woman who flees into the wilderness for three and a half years (Revelation 12:6) is the Virgin Daughter of Zion who flees destruction in an exodus out of Babylon (Isaiah 52:1, 11–12). And so forth.” Babylon, Sodom/Gomorrah, Mahan, and Perdition are sweep from the earth.
The Kingdom of God The Kingdom of God is God’s ecclesiastical and political kingdom on the earth. The Bible sets out three eras that describes the Kingdom of God - the Kingdom of Israel with ancient Israel, a spiritual kingdom that Yeshua establishes during His mortal ministry and a fully embodied Endtime Kingdom of God preparatory for the Son’s millennial rule. King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the second of chapter of Daniel sets the stage for this Endtime Kingdom of God.” Dr. Gileadi, “Characterizing the mission of Jehovah’s end-time servant is the temporal work of gathering Israel’s tribes, rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, and reestablishing the political kingdom of God on the earth. When a people of God are thus prepared to receive him, Jehovah comes and his millennial reign of peace begins.”
Millennium Dr. Gileadi, “Jehovah’s coming to reign on the earth will see an entire transformation of the earth and its inhabitants. Those who survive the destruction of the wicked that marks the end of the world will live in conditions perhaps similar to ones seen in near-death experiences of heaven, although admittedly it is heaven’s lower levels that are most often seen. The millennial age will be joyous: “Jehovah is comforting Zion, bringing solace to all her ruins; he is making her wilderness like Eden, her desert as the garden of Jehovah. Joyful rejoicing takes place there, thanksgiving with the voice of song” (Isaiah 51:3). Harmony will prevail among men and beasts (Isaiah 11:6–9).” “Jehovah’s coming, however, won’t happen by chance or because God is bound by a timetable. What occasions that event—and what qualifies people to inherit Paradise—is their ascent to the spiritual levels of Zion/Jerusalem and beyond and their physical preparation in gathering from exile to receive their God. Until his people attain Paradise as a covenant blessing—a blessing stemming from their keeping the law of his covenant—Jehovah cannot come. While those who imagine otherwise will be disappointed, those who use the trials that precede Jehovah’s coming as a means of purifying and sanctifying their lives may qualify for that glorious age.” Millennial Government Dr. Gileadi, “Types of God’s government that existed anciently combine to provide an idea of God’s government in the millennial age. One example is that of Moses and Israel’s judges: “I will restore my handover you and smelt away your dross as in a crucible, and remove all your alloy. I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as in the beginning. After this you shall be called the City of Righteousness, a faithful city” (Isaiah 1:25–26; emphasis added). The parallel verbs “I will restore” (ibid.) show God’s simultaneous appointment of his end-time servant—God’s hand and Righteousness—and of additional righteous “judges” who rule as one.” “Similar models appear elsewhere: “A king shall reign in righteousness and rulers rule with justice” (Isaiah 32:1); “The moon will blush and the sun be put to shame, when Jehovah of Hosts manifests his reign in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and his glory in the presence of his elders” (Isaiah 24:23). Although Jehovah rules as King in the millennial age (ibid., Isaiah 33:17, 22; 43:15; 44:6; 52:7), he doesn’t rule alone. God’s end-time servant and other servants—all who follow King Hezekiah’s pattern of serving as proxy saviors of their peoples—rule with him as Zion’s kings and queens (Isaiah 9:6–7; 11:1–5; 16:6; 37:15–20; 51:5; 60:3, 10–11, 16–17; 62:2).”
