Joel 2:11 The LORD will shout in the presence of his forces, because his encampment is very great; for powerful is he who carries out his message. Truly the Day of the LORD is great, and very terrifying. Who will be able to survive it?”

When we read about the Great Day of the Lord is before Satan and the demons are put away for a 1000 years.  Then they are released so they can complete their time period of rule of 6000 years because it was cut short for the sake of the elect.

The 2^nd judgment is of unbelievers, people that have the spirit in man, will be judged at the great White Throne Judgment.  Will they at this time be given their opportunity to repent and live a period of time on the earth, 100 years, before being changed to spirit being.  We know all people, will be brought back to life except for the Saints.

Important, remember, Satan and his demons are locked up and removed forever, not again going to affect anyone.  No more, influencing people.

What about all those who have lived and died without ever being called of God, who never had an opportunity to know and really understand God’s purpose and plan for mankind.  Are they lost forever?  Blinded by Satan.

Rivers of Living Water, the Last Great Day 

John 7:37-38 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

 (38) He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”   (if anyone – All people)

Living Water, what is this.  The Holy Spirit

John 7:39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus was not talking about physical thirst here. He was revealing that if any man have spiritual thirst, and believes on Him, he can come to Jesus and drink in the Holy Spirit.  Living waters, rivers of living water.

On the 8th day; the Great Day of the Feast; the special High Sabbath, is when Jesus made His first announcement to the people of the coming of the Holy Spirit.  There is a water ceremony done on this day by the Priests.  The Jewish leadership looked at the Feast of 8 days.

 “keep a festival for eight days”  Josephus in Antiquities of the Jews {3,10,6}   

8^th Day: A day for assembly—or pause

Spiritually, 8^th Day can also be seen to “guard the seven days of Sukkot” and is characterized as a day when the Jewish people “tarries” to spend an additional day with God at the end of Sukkot.

Therefore, Shemini Atzeret is considered “a feast day and the end of the Feast of Tabernacles and during this time is the last readings of the Scriptures for the past year in the Temple.

God’s Master Plan will be completed celebrating this Feast Day, the 8^th Day

8^th Day pictures the judgment when the vast majority of humanity will be resurrected to mortal life and given their opportunity for salvation. 

What about all those who have lived and died without ever being called of God (including, perhaps, most of our loved ones today); Good people, who never had an opportunity to know and really understand God’s purpose and plan for them? Because Satan blinded them. Are they lost forever?  No.

Can we really imagine a merciful and just God condemning innocent little children; some who died before they could either walk or talk; to remain dead for all eternity without the knowledge of God’s way of life and without being given the opportunity to live forever?

God has planned for everyone who has ever lived to receive an opportunity for salvation and Sonship in His Family, just as the already spiritually called and begotten children of God have been given their opportunity.

Simply the dead; those billions who are not Christ’s and have never been called of God, most of whom have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ.  God wants all to be saved.  Those who has the spirit in man. 

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to repent.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully.

Will everyone be saved at the same time, or is there a definite time-order

1 Corinthians 15:22-24 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. (23) But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. (24) Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.   {We have at some hints about the White Throne Judgement}

Then in the future, the dead will be given their opportunity to become members of God’s Family. Remember, Satan is gone forever.

The individuals will be given enough time to learn to obey God, just as Spirit-begotten Christians have opportunity to do today. Those who continue to live God’s way of life, developing the character of God, will be changed to Spiritual Beings at the end of this period of judgment, which apparently will last 100 years. {is this a hint at the mystery time}

How long will their period of judgment last, 100 years for all 

Isaiah 65:20 “And there will no longer be in it a young boy who lives only a few days, or an old person who does not live out his days; for one who dies at a hundred years will be thought a mere youth, and one who falls short of a hundred years will be considered accursed.

100 years, time period for all people to live.

All people will be resurrected later to a physical soul, brought back to life with a body and with their spirit in man and then be given the Holy Spirit.  Lord Jesus does not want anyone to die.

This verse in Isaiah apparently refers to this judgment period, suggesting that those resurrected then will live for 100 years, regardless of how old they were when they died. 

Isaiah 65:21 People will build houses and live in them; They’ll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

Isaiah 65:22 They won’t build for others to inhabit; they won’t plant for others to eat–for like the lifetime of a tree, so will the lifetime of my people be, and my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.

God has, in His fairness, planned for everyone who has ever lived to receive the very same opportunity for salvation that we are being given!

Just as the week is not complete without the Sabbath Day, so God’s Master Plan is not complete without the Father’ 8^th Day, High Sabbath

Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the Word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 

Revelation 20:5-6 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.  (6)  Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. 

Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison.

John just told us

Insert:  These are not the dead in Christ, but simply; the dead; those millions who are not Christ; who have not been converted, who may never have heard the gospel or the name of Jesus.  Only have spirit in man and not the Holy Spirit.  Unbelievers vs believers.

What happens to the dead.  These are Gentiles and Israelites. {Hint}

The prophet Ezekiel describe a resurrection of dead Israelites back to mortal life.

This is a resurrect to physical life; with bodies of flesh, skin and bones and require air to live.

Ezekiel 37:5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

Ezekiel 37:6-7 I’m going to grow tendons on you, regenerate your flesh, cover you with skin, and make you breathe again so that you can come back to life and learn that I am the LORD.'” (7) So I prophesied, just as I had been ordered to do so. Immediately there was a noise and a rattling; and then all of a sudden the bones came together by themselves! Each bone came together, all of them attached together!

Ezekiel 37:8-9 As I continued to watch, I saw tendons growing on the bones, and muscles growing and covering them, and then skin covered the flesh from above. But the bodies weren’t breathing. (9) Then he ordered me, “Prophesy to the Spirit, Son of Man. Tell the Spirit, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, you Spirit, and breathe into these people who have been killed, so they will live.”‘”  Spirit in man? 

Ezekiel 37:11-12 “These bones represent the entire house of Israel,” the LORD explained to me. “Look how they keep saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our future is lost. We’ve been completely eliminated!’ (12) “Therefore prophesy to them, and tell them, ‘Watch me! I’m going to open your graves, lift you out of those graves, and bring my people back into the land of Israel.

Ezekiel 37:13 Then you’ll learn that I am the LORD, when I’ve opened your graves and caused you to come up out of them, my people.   {during the White Throne Judgement}

God will then give His Holy Spirit to the millions and millions of peoples. 

Ezekiel 37:14 I’m going to place my Spirit in you all, and you will live. I’ll place you all into your land, and you’ll learn that I, the LORD, have been speaking and doing this,’ declares the LORD.”

Place physical people back into their land, for a period of time?

Even Gentiles will also be resurrected to physical life and return to how they were before.  Exciting this will happen

Ezekiel 16:55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before. {a physical resurrection}

John makes clear, “the rest of the dead”; those who never had a chance to understand God’s truth-would not come up in a resurrection “until the thousand years were finished.” This resurrection, which occurs after the 1,000 years are finished and last great battle, is the second resurrection.

God will remove Satan and demons; completely powerless; the dead will be resurrected to have their opportunity to understand God’s Master Plan. 

Revelation 20:1-2 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit, with a large chain in his hand. (2) He captured the dragon, that ancient serpent, also known as the devil and Satan, and tied him up for a thousand years. {happen again}

Revelation 20:3 He threw him into the bottomless pit, locked it, and sealed it over him to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were over. After that he must be set free for a little while.  {Will be one final battle of the armies of the world with Lord Jesus.}

So what about this 8^th day, it is known as the great Day of Judgment.  It is a day of judgment for angels and men.  {Day of judgment}

Jude 1:6 He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place. They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but threw them into the lowest hell and imprisoned them in chains of deepest darkness, holding them for judgment;  {angel were spirit}  

Judgment Before the Great White Throne 

Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.  {Lord Jesus seated on the great white throne}

All, spirit in man, people standing before Lord Jesus, souls or physical.  How long is this time.  Could time period be 100 years or so when judging is done before fire destroy the earth and heaven. We only have hints of the time period.

Can we really judge someone, an unbeliever, who has been blinded by Satan.  Can they live a life overcoming their human nature without Satan influence and build righteous character.

2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.  {Satan is removed forever}

It takes time to grow in righteous character, we are given 70 years or so, they might need 100 years. 

Something to think about, the angels were created instantly, without time to develop the right character. What happen, some rebelled.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

Revelation 20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.

Revelation 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.  (15)  Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Even after 100 year period, if someone will not repent and accept Jesus as Lord and King.  Their fate set.  What about those who believe that Lord Jesus is our King and High Priest today.

The dead who stand before God will not include the, Saints, today, because they will appear before Christ and receive their rewards at the first resurrection, when Christ returns.  We are being judge now for our rewards.  This is you and me, Saints. 

The dead; time of salvation; will then occur! 

Those resurrected after the Millennium will be judged the same way. 

1 Corinthians 11:32 Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won’t be condemned along with the world. 

They, like Spirit-begotten Christians today, will be given enough time to prove they are willing to live God’s Way of Life through a life of overcoming and obedience to God.  How much time does that take. 

The judgment of the Great Day, – The final judgment, when both angels and men shall receive their judgment at this time.

How long is this day of judgment?  Do you think the time it is only when all mankind is brought back to physical life, then straight to judgment to life or death without any time to overcome. 

Think of the hundreds of millions of people that has not been given a chance for salvation and not given the Holy Spirit to lead and direct them in life.  What about babies, children that died.

The Scriptures shows that the vast majority of those who ever lived will finally be born into God’s Family at the end of this coming period of judgment, pictured by the Last Great Day, 8^th Day.

God’s Master Plan of salvation for mankind will then be complete.

Then the Spirit Members of God’s Family can look forward to new heavens and a new earth; and to new and wonderful opportunities in ruling the universe under God our Father and Jesus Christ our elder brother!

New Heavens and a New Earth 

Isaiah 65:17 Take notice! I’m about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things won’t be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Time when Jesus renews the heaven and earth, Said He will do it, in the future?  Is this the start of the White Throne Judgment? 

Isaiah 65:18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating, for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.

Isaiah 65:19 I’ll rejoice over Jerusalem, and take delight in my people; no longer will the sound of weeping be heard in it, nor the cry of distress. 

These individuals has the spirit in man and will be given enough time to learn to obey God just as Saints have opportunity to do today, without any influence from Satan.  They will be given the Holy Spirit.

Those who continue to live God’s Way of Life, developing the character of God, will be changed from physical to spiritual at the end of this period of judgment, which will, might last 100 years and will be given access to the Holy Spirit.  Are we also not given time to overcome and grow.

Christ will make salvation available to everyone who ever lived, but never heard or under-stood the truth, in the last great step in God’s plan; the 8^th   Day, picturing the last judgment period. Completion of God’s Master Plan; the Great White Throne Judgment period after the Millennium.

Which is easier to overcome, Satan broadcasting daily to people today or with Satan removed for good and not broadcasting.  The rewards to each.

Who will teach these thousands of millions? That is what we will be doing. Millions of teachers who will have been born into God’s Family in the first resurrection.

We will be the teachers and what is Very Inspiring, we will teach our family member who were not called during this time or age.  Yes, we will be the teachers to our parents, brothers, sister, uncles, aunts, grandparents.  We will help them to become like us, born Spirit Beings in the Kingdom of God. 

Unlearning all the falsehoods learned in their first life and learning God’s true ways will take time. And building character will take time, because character can be developed only through time and experience.

The Scriptures shows that the vast majority of those who have ever lived will finally be born into God’s Family at the end of their coming period of judgment. God’s Master Plan of salvation for all mankind will then be complete. 

Revelation 22:12 “See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his action. 

Revelation 22:20 The one who is testifying to these things says, “Yes,

 I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!  {Faith and Hope.} 

Lord Jesus has Grace and Mercy for the people and in complete control of everything.
