THE NEXT 1,500 YEARS

          Daniel 7:15-28; 12:7 and Revelation 12:1-17, for example, speak about the 1,500 years commencing with the Birth of the Congregation (The Child) and Satan's dominion and influence over the more disobedient of this world (the woman that gave birth to The Child).   Therein, even the four great powers (Social Power, Religious Power, Spirit Power, and Political-economic Power) are described as "beasts" while serving Satan (Jeremiah 25:11).

          Satan, of course, is described as being cast down (out of heaven) in these End Times (Revelation 1:10; 12:9).

          He then comes as the false Messiah (Revelation 12:7-9,12; 14:14-20; Isaiah 14:9; Leviticus 16:7-10,15-22; Ezekiel 32:7-10; Daniel 4:34-37).   However, Satan continues to exercise powers over the Lost, the Tares, through the dividing of time (the half-time) ... 1,500 years into the future (Daniel 7:25).

SATAN PROVIDES THE WORKFORCE TO SERVE THE CONGREGATION

          Thus, wrongdoers and their heirs should be concerned.   This includes all unrepentant sinners: all disobedient; the Tares; the thieves stealing from and cheating their fellow humans; those stealing from GOD; others (including law enforcement and the media) serving and protecting International Organized Crime; those stealing from corporations and national treasuries; those stealing via inflated, unearned paychecks and bonuses; etc.   None are any lesser than the common thief who helps himself to his neighbor's property.

THE ESCAPE ROUTE

         Again, consider Deuteronomy 30:7,1-3; 28:15-68 versus 28:1-14.   The wise will repent, change their ways, make restitution, and pay their Sin Offerings (Job 42:7-10) before the door to Salvation closes.   The next opportunity is a long, long way off.   So, if people don't act now, they and their children may have at least 1,000 and perhaps 1,500 years or much more to work it off (Psalm 2:8-9).   Smile now because it won't be funny later.

THE OBVIOUS FORK IN THE ROAD

          The right road:

          "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy GOD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

          "And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD."

Deuteronomy 28:1-2
(See: 28:1-14; 30:1-3)

          The left road:

          "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:"

Deuteronomy 28:15
(See: 28:15-68; 30:7)

          Thus, as the 46 year Turning Point progresses, those entering the Eternal Congregation will inherit the blessings; whereas, the Tares will inherit their rewards, the curses.

         The Eternal Congregation will exit Satan's "land of the North" (Jeremiah 16:14-15; 23:7-8), the "cup" will be transferred to the Tares (Isaiah 51:21-23; Jeremiah 25:15-17,27-28; Deuteronomy 30:7), and life for the Congregation will grow prosperous and bountiful (Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Revelation 5:6,12; 21:1 thru 22:22; Jeremiah 23:1-8; Isaiah 4:2-6; Zephaniah 3:14-20; Zechariah 2:5-13; etc.).

          Note again, through history, in our 70 year limited life-span, Satan had been allowed to afflict even Job and the Human Shepherd of the End Times Congregation (Job 2:6-7; compare Psalm 89:20-37 with 89:38-52 and 88:1-18; Lamentations 3:1-21; 4:21-22).   Also note:  Satan had been given everything to give to whomsoever he wished, especially to those who served him well (Luke 4:5-7; Daniel 2:28,37-38).   But now payback time has arrived, The Third "Time" has begun.
