Predicting the Last Battle of YEHOWAH
and Satan in Armageddon and YEHOWAH’S
accession in Jerusalem for 1000 years with the people resurrected
When the sixth Angel pours out his bowl on the Great river Euphrates, and its water1) will be dried up, so that the way of the kings from the East be prepared. Three unclean spirits like frogs will come out of the mouths of the dragon (Satan)2), of the beast, and out of the mouth of the beast’s prophet. And these magic spirits will perform wonders and go out to all kings of the earth to gather them to the battle of the Great Day (or Final) of GOD’S Victory (over Satan)3). The beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies will gather to make war against HIM (against YEHOWAH), who sits on the white horse and against HIS army on white horses4). Then the beast along with his wonder-working prophet will be captured, who worked wonders by which he deceived those, who received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image, and these two will be thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest will be killed with the sword proceeding from HIS Mouth, who SITS on the white horse, and all the birds will be filled with their flesh. Satan will be bound and put into a bottomless pit (in A…ia). B. H. 20-2, 3.
Then all people who had victory over the beast and his image and over his mark over the number of his names would stand before YEHOWAH’S Throne on the crystal sea with God’s harps in their hands, and would sing Moses’ Hymn and LAMB’S5) Hymn saying: "Great and marvelous are YOUR Works, GOD YEHOWAH, the ALMIGHTY6)! Just and true are YOUR Ways, KING of the Holies! Who shall not fear YOU, YEHOWAH, and glorify YOUR NAME, when they see YOU are HOLY? Truly all nations shall come (to Israeli Temple on New mount Zion) and worship before YOU when all YOUR predictions come true!"
And those who sit on the thrones will be given power over the nations7). The souls8) beheaded for their witness to JESUS9) and for the Word of GOD, who did not worship the beast, his image and receive his mark on their foreheads or hands would rise10) and rule with Christ for 1000 years.
But the rest of the dead will not be resurrected until after thousand years have passed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection, for they will never die and will be priests of GOD and Christ and rule with HIM (in Israel of the New Covenant) 1000 years. B. H. 20-4…6; 5-9, 10; Ezek. 42-13, 14, 43; 44-15…31; 48-10…14.
