The Millennial Day of Salvation

The days are short and Christ’s coming is soon. Great disaster will come upon our nation and in fact upon all the world. God wants us all to pay attention and not be complacent, as great punishment is coming soon, because we all have sinned greatly. We must have hope, because God has not rejected His people. He wants us all to come to repentance and become meek and humble so that we will faithfully walk in His Way of Life for our own good. Christ will come back (and that will be soon) to save our nation, and yes the whole world upon repentance.

It's good to be with you, and it's lovely to be here. This week has been a significant week. Probably most of the news have not paid much attention to it. But I personally thought, I might be wrong, but I personally thought that we saw an important step moving forward in the prophetic landscape. Have you noticed it? The mere fact of Russia signing an agreement with North Korea is very, very meaningful. Because we see that formation of that northeast block, and all triggered, as we can see, by the Ukraine situation. And in parallel, we see a formation of a movement more to what they call the right. I'm not saying they're right, but a movement in the West and in Europe. And we can see the formation of this three groups, which are prophetic. The formation, the development of the King of the North, which will be the best, which will be based in Europe. We can see the formation of the King of the South, and we can see the formation of those forces of the North and East. And if you read scriptures like Daniel 11 from about verse 40 to 44, we'll see those three fighting one another, where the King of the North sweeps over the King of the South, and then we can hear that the King of the North has bad news from the North and East. And this is prophetic, prophetic to happen.

And probably it will be during and towards the end of the Great Tribulation. And if we consider things like Leviticus 26, where it potentially implies there are five waves, four of them before the Great Tribulation, the fourth one being the Great Tribulation. And we could have seen three of them already happened, and the fourth one could be what I would call civil war in the United States.

I don't think we're too far away from that, Reverend.

I think time is short.

But you and I know there is only salvation and hope through Christ. Christ will come to save the world.

Thank God. Because the Father will give the command when the Father says it's the right time, and Christ will come at the last trump, and a significant event will happen. Let's just briefly look at that in Revelation 11. In Revelation 11, because in Revelation 11, we see the lost Trump, and which we know is the time of the resurrection and Christ's coming. And in verse 15, it reads, and the seventh angel sounded. That is the seventh trumpet. Brethren, people get confused with these seven trumpets, and they kind of think, well, they relate. They are trumpets on every holiday. Of course they are. They are trumpets at months, and trumpets even during Sabbath services, or at least during the Sabbath.

But these are seven prophetic trumpets. They are represented by the day of trumpets. And these are, all seven trumpets, are part of what the Bible calls it, the day of the Lord.

And the day of the Lord is that last year of the three and a half years of the Great Tribulation.

And during that period of one year, at the end of that one year, which we believe is symbolized by the day of trumpets, at the seventh trumpet, and you and I have seen that historically, all God's Holy Days represent memorials or annual celebrations of events that happened on that day.

Now granted, the Bible does say, no man knows the day or the hour. And so we don't say that it will be exactly on the day of trumpets. We do say it symbolizes. But it is significant that when Christ comes at that seventh angel sounding, it says, the kingdoms of the swole have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.

At that seventh trumpet, we should symbolize, as I said, by the day of trumpets. And as you know, the day of trumpets is the fourth holy day, which means there are three before and three after.

And what it means, therefore, is it's pivotal.

It's right in the middle of this plan of God.

And it's pivotal because it's when it says, the kingdoms of the swole, the nations of the swole, have now become the kingdoms that belong to God and his Christ.

It is pivotal because it is the time that Christ comes to save this world of complete disaster. Complete disaster. Christ is our Savior, brethren, and is not only our Savior by dying for us and paying for our sins, but is our Savior because he's going to come and save our country, our nation, all the nations in the world from complete destruction. Because if Christ would not come at the very last moment when these nations, the North, the Beast, fights the South, then the North, the Beast, wants to attack the Northeast, which is symbolized by the fifth trumpet of locusts. And then when there's a counter-attack of the sixth trumpet with an army of 200 million, which is the North and East against the Beast power. And then after that, when they say, now it's you or me, and we're going to blow one another, uh? If Christ does not come at that moment, this world would cease to exist.

Then it would really be the end of the world.

But thanks to our loving Father and God, it will not be the end of the world. Christ is our Savior. But He's not just the Savior, as I mentioned, by paying for our sins so that you and I can have eternal life. He's Savior of the nations.

And you see, when Christ comes, these nations then are at war with one another.

Turn to Christ coming, which they perceive is like an invader from outer space.

You know, it's like having two dogs fighting, and you go and try and separate those two dogs. What's going to happen to you? They're going to turn to you. It's the same thing. Christ is going to come, and those two are going to turn towards God. Yes, Christ is the Son of God. He is a God being. He is our Lord, our Savior. You read that very clearly in Titus chapter 3 verse 8. Christ is our Savior. But as I said, He's Savior not only to save us, but to save the world. And He is going to set up His hand to save the world, and when He does, He will save it. And that's prevalent today, is the purpose of my message, is to show you how God will come and save us from misery.

What a blessing that is coming to save us.

You see, verse 18, still in Revelation 11, we see, The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. You see, so when they see Christ coming, they turn against Christ. And you can read about that in Revelation 19. They turn against Christ. And it says, In the time of the dead, they should be judged. Yes, it's the time of the resurrection. And some dead will be judged to be in the first resurrection, and other dead will be judged to remain sleeping for another thousand years.

So some will be judged to be in the first resurrection. So that is exactly the first resurrection, the last trumpet. You read that in 1 Corinthians 15, 50 through 53, and in 1 Thessalonians 4. At Christ's coming, the saints will resurrect.

And by the way, the first of the saints to resurrect will be the two witnesses. It says that very clearly, right there.

But then it says, at first point, that they should be judged in the dead. Secondly, that you should reward your servants, the prophets, and the saints, and those who fear your name small and great.

You see, so when we resurrected, we will not only receive the gift of eternal life, as those that are in the first resurrection will have life eternal, but we will also be given responsibilities. You rule over five cities, you rule over ten cities, so that we know and each one knows what is their job during the millennium.

And thirdly, at the end of verse 18 says, and then you should destroy those who destroy the earth. And we know, when Christ comes back, which is symbolized by the Day of Trumpets, we then have a period before the next holy day, which is the Day of Atonement, which symbolizes when Satan will be put in jail, and we have a short period. And during that short period, if it's going to be exactly that way, we have, after the seventh trumpet, we have the seven lost plagues, which are described in Revelation 14 and 15. And that is a short period, brethren, because if you have a situation where there's no water for anybody on planet earth, you won't survive for very long. So those seven lost plagues is a very short period, probably, again, probably symbolized by that short period between trumpets and Atonement.

And then that means those that destroy the earth will be destroyed, as you read at the end of Revelation 19. And then at the beginning of Revelation 20, Satan is put in jail, right? Symbolized by the Day of Atonement. And then we have the Feast of Tabernacles, which represents when mankind would be given peace and will be, peace will be established on the earth. Let's look at a few scriptures. Like I said, I want today, I want to show you how this will happen, because brethren, brethren, you and I know that before the Great Tribulation, the United States will be destroyed as a nation. And when you read that in Isaiah 5, verse 5 to 7, it says it will be during a period of 30 days of a moon, of a month. And you know, when you read Psalm 83, verse 3 to 8, there will be a conspiracy of nations, which I'll call nations basically a union of nations of the equivalent of the King of the South, that will join by Assyria, and it shows that they will destroy Israel and Judah. And then after that, there will be the Great Tribulation for three and a half years. And so what do we have, brethren? You and I need to be faithful and loyal, close to God, to be accounted worthy to escape, as you read in Luke 21.

I don't know how we can escape, but God promises, you read in Revelation 3, that you, if you are part of those, you will escape. You read in Revelation 12 that there will be a part of the church that will escape, and God does not lie.

Therefore, you and I have to absolutely trust in that. But a number of people will go through the Great Tribulation.

And yes, many will come out of the Great Tribulation after two and a half years going through the Great Tribulation. You read in Revelation 14, a number of them will be sealed, both of Jews and Gentiles. And so, they'll be protected from the Day of the Lord, that last year of the Great Tribulation, when there will be those terrible events in that last year. But imagine, imagine when Christ comes back, how people that have survived will be mentally and emotionally.

Many people will die. Others will go through extreme physical trauma and will be mentally, emotionally, let's call it a disaster.

People that will need help. And so, we need to have the hope that beyond this, God is going to intervene and help these people. You see, those people that will remain will be very teachable and humble.

They would have gone through the worst time in the world. You see, because remember, Christ is coming to establish a day of salvation to save the world and read in Isaiah 49. Isaiah 49.

Isaiah 49, verse 8 through 13. It says, This is the Lord in an acceptable time I have heard you and in a day of salvation, or the day of salvation, some scriptures, some translations put it as a day of salvation, I have helped you. I will preserve you and give you as a covenant to the people to restore the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate eritages that you may say to the prisoners, go forth. The prisoners are coming out of the great tribulation.

You see, because it's time to restore the earth, to show those who are in darkness, show yourselves. Yeah, they're hiding in caves or whatever it is. It says, come out.

They shall feed along the roads and their pastors shall be on all desolate heights.

They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither heat nor sun shall strike them. For he who has mercy, that's Christ, on them will lead them. Christ will come back to earth and these people will no more be suffering from the elements and the evil world. And even by the springs of water, you'll guide them.

These people are coming out what we have called the second Exodus.

And I will make each of my mountains a road. And my highways shall be elevated. Surely these shall come from afar. Look from the north and the west and these from the land of Sinon, probably somewhere south, like southern Africa or Australia. So they'll come from everywhere. Brethren, the world would have been through a major crisis, a major crisis. Christ is now put Satan away and is now going to rule. The very first thing he's going to do is these people that are desolate all over the place.

They're going to come back to the area where Christ is going to start his kingdom in the area around Jerusalem.

Those people, brethren, have an attitude that is defined in Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 12. Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 12.

And he says, I'll leave in your midst a meek and humble people, and I shall trust in the name of the Lord. The people that will survive this terrible crisis, human beings, fellow citizens that have survived, they will be meek, teachable, malleable, pliable, and humble. And humble.

They will come from everywhere. The second Exodus will be far greater than the first Exodus coming out of Egypt. Looking Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah 31 verse 7 through 9. Jeremiah 31 verse 7 through 9.

Sing with gladness for Jacob and shout among the chief of the nations. Proclaim, give praise, and say, O Lord, save your people. You see, it's not just the human salvation, individual salvation, that you are being saved through Christ's blood. This is saving the people, the nation, the misery of the world, the remnant of Israel, those that are left over from Israel. Behold, I'll bring them from the north country and gather them from the ends of the earth. This brethren is the second Exodus at the beginning of the millennium. Among them, the blind and the lame. Maybe some of them had been blinded by war explosions or landmines or whatever, lame because of that.

The woman of child and the one who labors with child together. They will have still children, little ones, some are pregnant, and they'll come through the second Exodus. A great throng, here was a great group of people, shall return there. And verse 9, and they shall come with weeping and with supplications. I will lead them. I'll cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Brethren, this will happen at the beginning of the millennium. That's the first step that Christ will exercise in bringing peace to earth. And then we read in Romans 11. Romans 11, brethren, is an amazing chapter, because in this chapter Paul is saying that the Israelites have been blinded for a season.

But then in verse 25 of Romans 11, we read, For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so, Israel as a nation is blinded. We are blinded as a nation. So blinded that we can't even rule ourselves. Decisions that we are making as top leaders are just terrible. Terrible. But God will remove that blindness when Christ comes back, and then all Israel will be saved.

Verse 26. The deliverer will come out of Zion, that's Christ, and he will turn away, and God is from Jacob. For this is my covenant with them. I'll take away their sins. The nations will repent. So the whole of Israel will be saved.

What about other nations? Is God discriminating Israel above the others? No. But God works first with Israel, like it says to the Jew first, and then to the Gentiles. And so, all nations will then also come to Christ. First, the Israelites, and then all nations, turn to Isaiah 2. Verse 2 and 3. Isaiah 2. Verse 2 and 3. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it. You see, the mountain of the Lord's house, you know that mountain means prophetically a kingdom, a nation.

So the mountain of the Lord's house is like code word for the kingdom of God. And so the mountain of the Lord's house, that means the kingdom of God ruling on earth, will be established on top of all the other nations, and shall be exalted above the hills, even tiny little nations. All nations shall flow to it. In other words, Gentiles will also come. God is the God of all nations, to the Jew first, and to the Gentile as well.

And then it says, many people shall come and say, come and let us go to the mountain of the Lord. In other words, to where Christ is ruling, where the kingdom of God, to let's call it the worldwide headquarters, let's go there to the house of the God of Jacob. And who's the God that is going to be ruling from Jerusalem during the millennium? Jesus the Christ. He is the God of Jacob.

And he, Jesus Christ, the God of Jacob, will teach us, which is the nations, the Gentiles, God's ways. And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion, out of that area, shall go forth the Lord. And the word of the Lord, capital L-O-R-D, Yahweh, which is Christ, shall go from Jerusalem.

This, brethren, is the day of salvation for the world, which is beyond the concept that salvation is just, and it is true, it is, but it's not just Christ saving us individually. But that's what he did at his first coming. He opened that path. But as his second coming, he's coming as the Messiah to bring peace to the whole world. Thank God that he's doing that. Thank God.

Let's see verse 4. In Isaiah 3, Isaiah 2, verse 4, he shall judge between the nations. Brethren, when Christ comes and the nations fight against him, those are the military forces. And you know, when he comes and he stands there, and the eyes and the tongue will melt in their sockets and all that, but those are the military.

Humanity is general, and you see today humanity, they have these demonstrations, you know, the minds have been perverted of mankind. So it's not just those military that will be destroyed, but mankind in general still got all these wrong concepts. And so he says, he and verse 4, he will judge between the nations and shall rebuke many people. Rebuke many people. Look, Christ is loving and caring when you have the right attitude.

When you are converted and have the right attitude, Christ is loving and caring. He's merciful. But if you are carnal-minded, he will deal with you differently.

Because Christ is also the God being that worked with the Old Testament Israel. And he was tough when he said, you step out of the line, you will be killed. Wipe them all out. So when Christ deals with unconverted human beings, there will be justice, and justice will be executed. He will rebuke many nations.

But if they repentant, if they change, because in the end, God wants, as you read in Romans, the mercy of God grants you, leads you to repentance. If they change and if they repent, if they meek and teachable and humble, then we see mercy. And then it is our responsibility to walk in faith, the way of God. You get that? First there's judgment. Upon repentance, there's mercy. And then it's incumbent upon us to walk according to God's way.

Do you remember Matthew 23, 23? The weightier matters of the law are judgment, mercy, and faith. Judgment is first, not mercy.

The world today, oh no, you got to show mercy. No, first judgment. Upon repentance, then Christ shows mercy and loving kindness.

But then you and I need to walk in faith.

So the whole of the world will have an opportunity to be saved.

And you know you have the parable. Do you remember the parable in Luke 14 of that big banquet? That turned with me to Luke 14 starting in verse 12. Luke 14 verse 12.

Luke 14 verse 12, you have this parable of that great banquet. Let's call it a great supper. And it says, and go out and invite people. And people come out, no, I'm not going to come. No, I've got something else. No, no, I don't know. The dog is sore. I can't come to church or whatever it is, you know, whatever. People have all different excuses. Now, some of them are valid. Please, I'm not being, they are valid excuses. But sometimes people push those excuses a little bit further. But this is also talking about the world tomorrow, about the millennium. Because then it'll come a time when it says, go out into the highways and hedges, as you see in verse 23, and compel them to come in that my house may be filled. One of the possible meanings is this is applicable, this section is applicable in the world tomorrow. Because in the world tomorrow, everybody will have an opportunity to come.

And it says, compel them to come. Now, what does compel mean? Compel is kind of close to say, force them to come.

It's like an order that you received in a mail says, you better appear in court on this date. You compelled to appear in court on that date.

Compel them to come. Now, whether you're going to have a right attitude or not, that's a different story. But it compel them to come.

You see, in the world tomorrow, Christ will compel people to repent and change.

You see, that calling in the world tomorrow will be super clear.

It's like that calling appeared in court. It will be super clear those people will not be deceived by Satan, because Satan is in jail. The deception is not there.

The carnal mind is still there. Oh, and that is left overcome. That's why it says, Christ will rebuke many a nation.

But it basically says, they'll come. Or it will be very clear. If you don't come, you're going to go to the lake of fire.

You got two options. Come or go to the lake of fire. In the world tomorrow, that will be very clear.

You see, God's message, Christ's message, has always been the same. Look at Joel 2. Joel 2.

Joel 2, verse 12 and 13. Now, therefore, says the Lord, turn to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and with mourning.

God's message has always been the same. Repent! Change! Change! It applies to me. It applies to us all.

I'm no better than you. I'm a human being like you are.

I'm trying like you are trying.

And so, we all have to listen to this calling very carefully. Verse 13, Rend your heart, not your clothes, not your garments, return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and great kindness, and He relents from doing harm.

God's message has always been the same. Repent!

And what will happen?

In the world tomorrow. That message will go to Israel and to the whole world. Christ is coming to earth to save the world, but will require repentance. And if they are rebellious, you rebuke them. Rebuke many a nation. Now, if they are repentant and meek and teachable, then all obviously is gracious and merciful and slow to anger and of great kindness.

Look at verse 23 in the same chapter, Joel 2. Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the former reign faithfully, and you will cause the rain to come down to you, the former and the latter rain, as it was, maybe could be translated in the first. The word of mouth is in italics, which means it's not there in the manuscripts. And so, what is the spiritual implication of this? The spiritual implication is that early rain is what it is for us, the few that are in this age.

And we are being trained as the first fruits of the Spirit to overcome and grow, and be faithful to the end of Christ's coming. The latter rain is those in the world tomorrow.

And that will be the great, great office that will represent. And that's why we talk about the Feast of Engattering at the end of the year. Obviously, the agricultural year.

Turn with me, please, to Isaiah 32. Isaiah 32.

And we're going to look at verse 9, starting in verse 9. Isaiah 32. Isaiah 32.

Rise up, you woman, who all it is. Hear my voice, you complacent daughters. Give ear to my speech. It's like a message to us today. Are we complacent? Are we just saying, well, we live here in the States. All is good. I still have food. Well, the problems are in Ukraine. The problems are in Gaza. Verse 10. In a year and some days, you will be troubled, complacent woman, for the vintage will fail and the gathering will not come. In other words, maybe in a year, maybe two, maybe a few more days, whatever it is. But it's soon. Things are going to blow up. Big time. Are we complacent?

I'm okay, Jack.

Rend your hearts and draw close to God. Tremble. Verse 11. You woman who arties be troubled, you complacent one. Strip yourselves, make yourselves big, and gird suck collect cloth in your way. In other words, in your mind, repent. I'm continuing reading a bit further because verse 12, people shall mourn upon their breasts. And it says, and on verse 13, on the land of my people come up thorns and briars. In the land of my people, that is Israel. That is the United States. And other English-speaking nations will come up thorns and briars. In other words, you want to have food.

Yes, on all the happy homes, oh yeah, I've got an ice-home, air condition, everything's working fine. What if you don't have electricity? And if that goes on for a few days, and it's not just in your suburb, it's in the whole city, and it's in the whole state. That means your generator won't work because, oh yeah, I've got generator, but you can't get diesel to fill it up because there's no gas, there's no trucks, there's nothing.

There's no internet. Well, because there's no electricity. Oh well, I still have internet, even though I don't have electricity now. But after a while, the cell towers will stop working.

And then what? Yes, on all your happy homes, in this joyous city, which will no more be joyous. Verse 14, because the palaces will be forsaken, the bursting city will be deserted, the forts and towers will become layers forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of locks. In other words, you think of it like it is like Gaza, and it is like Ukraine, where everything is destroyed. After a while, wild donkeys and wild animals will have a party day drinking, and because things are growing just wild, but it's not food for you and I. But that will all be changed when Christ comes back. And when Christ comes back, what will happen?

People come to God. People will repent. People will be learning the truth. People will then be baptized. Upon baptism, they will receive God's Holy Spirit. That is when the Spirit is poured on mankind as a whole, because everybody will know the truth. Verse 15, until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruit field becomes like a forest, you know, a forest of just fruitful fields. Justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness will remain in the fruit field. The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness will be quietness and assurance forever.

Brethren, there will be peace in the millennium. Christ will come and bring peace to us, but regrettably we'll have to go as a nation through these things, because we are stiff-necked and rebellious.

And some of us are complacent. And as in the church, we must not be complacent.

We must not be complacent. You see, Israel went to captivity. Why did Israel go to captivity? I mean, you're reading in Nehemiah when it says, chapter 8, that they'll have this feast, and it says they had not kept a feast since the days of Joshua. Remember that?

Now, when is Nehemiah? Nehemiah and Ezra is when they came back from Babylon. Now, that means days of Joshua is when they came out of Egypt, then they went through Moses for 40 years, that time period, and then Joshua divided the land and they went across. Since those days, they've not kept a feast until the days of Nehemiah. That means they went through the days of the charges. They went through the days of Saul and David and Solomon and the kings. And then the northern kingdom went to slavery and was dispersed in Assyria and into other nations. And then the southern kingdom went to Babylon for 70 years, and then they came back. Now it's the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, and it says in Nehemiah chapter 8, they had never done that since the times of Joshua. Wow! Wow! These Israelites were rebellious, stubborn, and you know that God gave them plenty chance.

And so you read in Ezekiel chapter 20. Ezekiel chapter 20.

Ezekiel chapter 20.

Verse 13. Yet the house of Israel rebelled against me right in the wilderness. They did not walk. And then look at it a bit light, it says, they greatly despised my Sabbath's plural. In other words, the weekly Sabbath and the annual Sabbath. And then I said I would pour out my fury on them in the wilderness and consume them.

So you see then in verse 15, and so I raised my hand in the oath to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them to the land which had given them flowing from Mokanani, the glory of all lands, because they despised my judgments and not walking my statutes, but profane the Sabbath's for their heart went after their idols. And yes, that was true for those nations, those people that lived as they left Egypt, but that got repeated time and time and time again. And that's why it says a little later. Let's look at verse 21. It says, not of standing the children rebel against me, they do not walk in my statutes, and were not careful to observe my judgments, and they profaned my Sabbath. And then verse 22, nevertheless I withdrew my hand and acted for my name's sake. I was merciful. But then it got to a point, verse 23, that says, and I raised my hand in an oath to those in the wilderness that I would scatter them. And therefore, you read in verse 25, therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good. And brethren, that's what's happening in this nation today. God's given us up to statutes that are not good. God is allowing these leaders that have a reprobate mind.

And so we can see they went the wrong way, and they went to slavery. But Christ will come back, will intervene for us, and will bring peace to us. And then we'll be at a time when Christ comes back, when everyone will then keep the feast as we read in Zechariah 14. All nations, not just Israelites, all Russian nations, you read Zechariah 14, verse 16 through 19, it says they will all keep the feast. And if they don't come and keep the feast, bang!

Because they disobey God's law.

And what will happen then, as people repent and receive God's early spirit, their carnal mind starts changing. And the nature of man changes. You can see that in Isaiah chapter 11. Isaiah chapter 11. Let's look at verse 6 through 9. And the wolf shall dwell of the lamb, and the leper shall lie down of the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and the little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall raise, the young one shall lie down, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the nursing child shall play by the cobra's hull, and the ween child shall put his hand in the viper's den. The nature of animals will change, but brethren, what God is interested in is in your nature and my nature to change.

If the nature of animals of a lion can be changed, God will change. People's natures provided they are meek and teachable and humble.

That's why it says in verse 9, they shall not hurt nor destroy in my holy mountain. Oh yeah, you could say lions and tigers, but I believe it's actually talking about human beings. We will not hurt nor destroy in God's kingdom, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the eternal as the waters cover the sea. Brethren, in the world tomorrow, God's holy spirit will be poured mightily and Christ will save mankind. Brethren, there will be a great day of salvation in the millennium and beyond. That is your hope and my hope. Please, let's not be complacent and be zealous so that you and I may be counted worthy to escape. Thank you for your faithfulness to Jesus Christ our Savior.

So

The days are short and Christ’s coming is soon. Great disaster will come upon our nation and in fact upon all the world. God wants us all to pay attention and not be complacent, as great punishment is coming soon, because we all have sinned greatly. We must have hope, because God has not rejected His people. He wants us all to come to repentance and become meek and humble so that we will faithfully walk in His Way of Life for our own good. Christ will come back (and that will be soon) to save our nation, and yes the whole world upon repentance.
