Two Burnings
As we approach the end of the age and the beginning of the millennial rule of Jesus Christ, I believe we are approaching a judgement of fire on the world. The first judgement on the world was by water at the time of Noah, but the next one will be just as terrifying, though by fire. I believe there are to be two burnings predicted in the Bible, both concerning the people of Israel (the Anglo-Saxon and kindred people). They are the burning of the tares and the burning of the chaff.
The burning of the tares is recorded in the gospel of Matthew. “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matthew 13:24-30. Later Jesus interpreted what the objects and people represented. “He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13:37-43. The millennial kingdom of heaven will be Israel. Other kingdoms will be under his governance, but the holy kingdom will be Israel and the holy city will be the New Jerusalem. The children of the kingdom are Israelites. Some Israelites will not be part of his kingdom. “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:12. The tares are not children of the kingdom. They are not Israelites. If they oppose Christianity or follow non-Christian religions they will be burned up. Their buildings of worship and all idols will be burned up in all Israel lands. This does not excuse all Israelites. Many of them will be burned up as well. The Angels will do the burning.
The other burning applies to Israelites. It was announced by John the Baptist. ‘I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:11-12. The chaff is Israelites. It is part of the wheat plant. The wheat represents the children of the kingdom, Israelites. I believe half of the population of Israelites will lose their lives before the millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ is set up. “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Matthew 24:38-42. One will be taken and the other left. I believe this means half of the people will be taken away by the angels and will not be part of the kingdom. I also believe this refers to Israelites (the Anglo-Saxon and kindred people). What happens to the rest of the world I do not know, but the judgement on them may be more severe.
Our people have fallen into a period of depravity. Every one of the Ten Commandments are being broken with contempt. A judgement of fire is coming. Even before our Lord returns the population of our people will be reduced. His return will bring the final destruction. Our birth rate is steadily declining. Abortion and euthanasia are taking our young and old. The all-cause death rate has been increasing in the last two years. We face the prospect of the Third World War as China and Russia band together. The Third World War will be the war to end all wars. Who knows how many Israelites will be left alive when the Lord returns? Then at his return half of the ones left will be killed by the angels. That is what I believe.
People must turn to the Lord now to avoid the judgement that is coming. Then, whether we live or die we will be the Lord’s. The Lord always looks after his own. We can share in the glorious millennial kingdom if we have repented of our sins and received Jesus as Lord. We must believe the whole Bible and obey the commandments to the best of our abilities and we will get through the time of trouble with the Lord’s protection on us. If we are the Lord’s, the comforting Holy Spirit will be with us no matter what we go through. The glorious kingdom age is coming. Then, our Israel people will be united. There will not be a U.S.A., a U.K., a Canada, an Australia, a Netherlands, a Denmark, an Ireland, etc., etc., etc. They will all be Israel, one nation under Jesus Christ. That is my interpretation of scripture and my opinion about what is coming.
