THEIR PURPOSE"
There invariably comes a time when both the righteous and the wicked
will have made their final decisions.
The preadvent judgment is closed: no more clients!
Of course the destiny of each individual who does not live
until Yahushua's second coming is sealed at death.
We need both justification and sanctification. Our objective is to accept the righteousness of Yahushua and put grace to work asking for the power of Mashiach to live righteous lives!

Shalom dear called-out sheep of Yahushua Ha Mashiach, and greetings to you in His powerful and wonderful name. In our last message we presented to you a broad picture of the flow of final events leading to the thousand-year judgment and climaxing at its end.
As we move from chapter 19 into chapter 20 we find ourselves at the beginning of the millennium. The harsh but righteous judgment of the prostitute or impostor bride (chapter 18) is also the fair judgment of Yahushua's genuine bride (19:7, 8). Both are, in a sense, the same group going into the judgment. The ten virgins (Yahweh's called out at the time of His Son's coming) decide for themselves which group they will form part of.
Brethren and friends, keep in mind the that the judged ones are all those who claim to see, or to believe in their Saviour Yahushua for salvation. And all along the prostitute claimed to be the true bride and believe in Him! And this is why she will be negatively judged. Her sin willl not be forgiven, undealt with, nor overlooked any longer. She was adorned as a bride, too, but in a different wordly and whorish way, for she had been unfaithful to her lover by committing adultery with the kings of this earth and having drunk the blood of the saints of Yahushua (17:1-5).
Her claim to be married to Mashiach while corrupt is seen in 18:7. At the beginning of verse 19, we find the joy of the righteous in Mashiach because the prostitute was finally judged and found guilty, and the true bride was found innocent having made herself ready (19:7) for her marriage. She was prepared during the same preadvent judgment time. Verse 9 is the marriage supper of the Lamb, in heaven. It is clear who will have (collectively) become the bride. In Yahushua's story of the marriage of the king's son (Matt. 22, 10:7b), the guests have been inspected and those without the appropriate garment have been thrown out. The rest of the story is only implied: The marriage would be completed at the end of the inspection and the approved guests, untroubled by any who refused the garment of righteousness, would be ready to dine.
After the judgment comes the punishment of the end-time wicked. This is the time of trouble spoken of in Daniel 12:1. The angel Michael stands up from having been seated in judgment. This punishment is pictured in Rev. 19:2. The symbols used in Scripture simply change, and we see the punishment from a different angle in Rev. 19:11. The wicked are slain by the sword in the mouth of Yahushua Ha Mashiach, the One True and Faithful Witness. They have been unfaithful to Yahweh's requirements as expressed in His Kodesh Word. Yahushua is King of kings--- the kings the prostitute committed adultery with during this human era, as well as the 144,000 future kings who will co-reign with Him during the millenuim! Thus at the end it turns out that the kings of the earth were unkowingly serving Yahushua's purpose all the time, rather than the prostitute's! At the timne of their judgment, this is a terrible deception for them and for for the prostitute. Just as Satan didn't, she did not prevail either! Brethren, Yahweh nor His Son Yahushua cannot ever be deceived nor be made fools of!
Then the beast and the false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire in 19:20. These are the leaders of the religious and political systems of this wicked world. All the wicked people here at the end time prior to Yahushua's second coming are slain. All these demonic systems end at the time of the brightness of His coming (2 Thess. 2:8). They are cast into the lake of fire. This occurs the beginning of the millennial kingdom of Yahushua or the thousand years. They stay there while the rest are waiting to be judged at the end of the millenium when their wicked supporters try to storm the holy city in the final Gog and Magog war. No wicked people remain alive after that. The systems promoting sin ("Death and Hades") go into the fire at the end when their evil work is done. Of course the wicked people who formed part of them go in, too.
Back to Revelation 19: beast and prophet go to the flames and at the same time, in the flow of the text, the dragon gets chained up (alive) for a thousand years. These three were the coalition of evil working against Yahweh in the final struggle of evil mentioned in 16:12-16. Of course one is the real dragon/devil and the other two are his puppet systems. All need to be understood as Yahweh reveals His supreme justice. The dragon goes into the fire to join them in 20:10. Finally the originator of evil along with his demonic angels, the evil systems they have set up on this earth, and the wicked people who have supported them, are burned up. At that point, with no evil in sight anymore, Yahweh creates a new heaven and a new earth.
Sometimes people ask us to explain the difference between the preadvent judgment and the one around the great white throne. We pulled together the theme of all three judgments for them and we'd like to share an edited version of it with you. In this we see a grand picture of our loving Yahweh.
The judgment periods are not, at first, crystal-clear in the Scriptures. For this reason, many people overlook the fact there are three of the and think there is only one general judgement. Let's look at the broad picture to see what is happening.
Since the time of war in heaven, Satan has (falsely) claimed his way was better than Yahweh's way. Yahweh loves us and wants our lives to be in harmony with His marvelous Kodesh Plan of righteousness and happiness expressed in His law and in living peacefully in His kingdom. True love is initially offered and given free, though conditions to keep receiving that love and the blessings that come from living in it can and often come later. Yahweh wants our faithfulness because we have chosen to give it to Him, to continue receiving His love. Our Heavenly Father Yahweh could have destroyed Ha-Satan long ago but then someone could still wonder if Yahweh was righteous and just and the whole problem of sin could erupt all over again. But by letting sin run its course and promising eternal life for those faithful unto death, He is fair with everyone.
Beloved of Mashiach, the judgments are a process of examining people (and evil angels) so that all can know that Yahweh always makes the right choices.
Before He comes in His full glory, Mashiach will judge first those who claim a place with Him in the kingdom of heaven. Scripture reveals that many will be found unfaithful and will be lost, including the majority of those called by Yahweh ... those not chosen. When Yahushua comes, He will have His reward at hand, based on a fair judgment (Rev. 22:11,12). The righteous angels and others in the universe will have opportunity during this judgment to see that His decisions are absolutely right. They will know that those who come with Mashiach are safe to bring into the purity and sanctity of heaven.
Then we who have been saved---the called , chosen and found faithful--- will become judges with Mashiach to examine during the following 1000 years the cases of the wicked, all of whom will then be dead on the earth, after having suffered the first death. As a result, we will know that Yahweh is doing the right thing with the wicked. We will never look back and wonder why "pastor x" or "such and such friend" are not there. This is the first judgment, the one that Yahushua says will start "with those of the house."
At the end of the 1000 years, comes the judgment around the great white throne. At that point the wicked will have been raised from their deathly graves and will try to take the New Jerusalem (holy city) by force. Some of the redeemed during the millenium might join them, and it is not entirely impossible that more angels will show their true colors during this final attempt to overthrow Yahweh's government. Then before Yahweh Almighty, they will see why they are not inside that city. They will see just how and why they are lost. Having made their hearts hard permanently, they will not repent but will bow to acknowledge the righteousness of Yahweh. Then they will be punished and eternally destroyed.
Yahweh will have achieved the great goal of restoring peace and happiness to the universe. None who would be unhappy or rebellious in the holy atmosphere of heaven will be there! Those who have learned to love holiness will ever enjoy that beauty, peace and secutiry for all eternity!
Beloved friend and brethren, this has been a quick glance at the judgments of Yahweh and we haven't shown all the verses at each point, but it's a picture you can take a closer look at. We serve a marvelous Elojhim and have a Saviour who died in our place to allow us to choose eternal happiness!
In Mashiach, Rafael
