Balaam was a sorcerer, an Amorite from the land of Syria today. Balaam means “destroyer of people”. Muslim legend says that he was a renegade Israelite who went to Canaan for the things of the world.
His story is in Numbers 22-24 which
took place at the time of Moses leading Israel into the Levant and preparing
for the conquest of the Promised Land of Canaan circa 1400 BC. Israel had
destroyed a good amount of the Amorite country, including all of Bashan (West
Syria). Og was the King of Bashan and was a giant (Nephilim), his bed was iron
and 16 ft long. Moab saw that Israel was deadly and their King Balak was
concerned.
Nu 22: 1 ¶ And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
The
city Pethor by the river would be Northern Syria today by the Euphrates River.
You can see in vs 6 that by fame, Balaam was a kind of prophet of the region.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of
Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came
unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
We see that Balaam was a diviner…for a price.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
So, the LORD did speak to him.
13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. 15 ¶ And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: 17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
In vs 18 we see that Jehovah is his God.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. 20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do. 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Balaam liked the better pay and went to God again, so, God said he could go, but only to do what God says.
22 ¶ And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
We see that Balaam had servants, so was well to do in vs 22. You would think that when the donkey talked to him that he might have been surprised, but he took it all in stride. Finally he sees the Angel of the LORD. Usually this means Christ Himself in scripture. He now shows respect and bows down, no doubt afraid, for the Angel of the LORD is a terrifying sight.
32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. 35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
In vs 32 we see that God sees Balaam’s way is perverse. The Angel was ready to kill him, so he is ready to go home. Again God lets him continue, but stresses to only speak what God says.
36 ¶ And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast. 37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? 38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
Balak is warned that Balaam can only speak words from God.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth. 40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
23: 1 ¶ And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. 4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

Blessing
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?
or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and
from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be
reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust
of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the
death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
God told Abraham that who blessed him would be blessed, and he who cursed him would be cursed. The whole earth would be blessed because of his obedience. Righteousness was given to Abraham and his seed because he believed God, Gn 12. These were the children of Abraham and blessed because of the Covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
13 ¶ And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
Be aware that Balaam is not a Holy man and uses enchantments and sorcery in his rituals.
2nd
Blessing
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise
up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not
do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to
bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither
hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and
the shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it
were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against
Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this
time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall
rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie
down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
Israel is blessed and Balaam with his divination cannot curse them. They will attack and conquer this land.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

Blessing
24:1 ¶ And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD
to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but
he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw
Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of
God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam
the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God,
which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having
his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and
thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as
gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath
planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets,
and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than
Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath
as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies,
and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down
as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he
that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
Even a sorcerer can learn; he did not use enchantments this time.
He saw the camp of Israel which surrounded the Tabernacle where God spoke with
Moses from the Ark of the Covenant, and the tents of the 2,500,000 people
spread out from the Tabernacle and Levites to form the shape of a cross when
viewed by Balaam from the mountain. The Spirit of the LORD came upon him.
10 ¶ And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam,
and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these
three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I
thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee
back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also
to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of
silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either
good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I
speak?
14 And now, behold, I go
unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this
people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
4th
Blessing and Prophecy of Israel’s Future
24:15 ¶ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam
the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God,
and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the
Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold
him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star
out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the
corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also
shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have
dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his
parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter
end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his
parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a
rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted,
until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas,
who shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of
Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall
perish for ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and
went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
In vs 17 we see the prophecy of the Star that the Magi (Wise Men)
saw and the Scepter of King Jesus that would arise in the future.
In vs 18 Israel will be valiant in this conquest of the Promised
Land.
In vs 20 you see God’s enemy Amalek finally destroyed, 1 Crn 4:43. This is the
ones who attacked Israel when they crossed the Red Sea at the camp of Rephidim
where God brought water from the rock that Moses struck. They continued to be the enemies of God through the centuries.
In vs 24 Chittim here is Cyprus or Rome in the future. Asshur is a
son of Shem. Eber are those across the river.
Balaam had a history of the knowledge of Moses being the Prophet of Jehovah. According to the book of Jasher 67 - 72, he was part of the advisors to Pharaoh to destroy the male children of Israel. In Jasher 79 Balaam is one of the magicians in Pharaoh's court that turned their rods in to snakes and Aaron's rod as a snake devoured them. I know that Jasher is not a Bible inspired book, but is part of history and has information. By this we see that Balaam was an older man and knew of the power of God resting on Moses at the time recorded here in Numbers.
Nu 25:1 ¶ And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
24,000 people died of the plague.
The
LORD told me this about Balaam during this study, on 12/20/23:
Balaam
was smart and cunning. He would not succumb to Me.
Be
not deceived. I AM the only way.
He
loved himself more than Me.
He
was selfish and prideful.
Balaam
sought power through sorcery and enchantments.
He
loved money.
Balaam, who was not submitted to God, was used by God to bless Israel even though he was paid to curse them.
Some
other Dark Powers that attacked Israel and the Church which is adopted into
Israel, and the faithful remnant of the righteous that overcame them by God’s
power. We are righteous because of Jesus’ work, not our own.
Nimrod,
King of Shinar and the city of Babylon, the grandson of Noah from Ham, who came
against God and built the tower of Babel, started astrology, and worship of
stars and idolatry, as well as confessionals so his own priests would know the
secrets of the people, circa 2000 BC. Abraham defeated him in the battle of the
Kings, Gn 14. Shem anointed Abraham after that to be the 7th
Melchizedek Priest, the righteous remnant. Abraham’s great grandson, Esau killed Nimrod according to the DSS in the
book of Jasher.
Egyptian
Pharaohs who enslaved Israel for 400 years. The miracles of God done by Moses
for the first few plagues were copied by the wise men, sorcerers and magicians (including Balaam) that worked under the Pharaoh at that time, circa 1400 BC, Ex 14. God sent descendants of Levi, which was given the Priestly duties by Jacob (Israel), to
deliver the children of Israel. These were: Moses (Prophet), Aaron (Priest, and
Miriam (Prophetess) who were all siblings. God destroyed the Pharaoh and his
army at the Red Sea.
Balaam the Amorite of which we just studied, who caused Israel to commit whoredom with daughters of Moab and worship their gods, circa 1400 BC. Joshua from the tribe of Ephraim, who succeeded Moses, later killed Balaam in the conquest of the Promised Land, Josh 13:22.
Many giants were killed in the campaign. Joshua is the English form of Yeshuah, our Savior who is Jesus, of which Joshua was a type.
The
Philistines (which included giants, Goliath and his brothers) that warred
against Israel at the time of David the King who conquered them by the power of
the LORD, circa 1090-970 BC. In 2023 they are attacking again. Goliath and the
Philistines are from Gath (Gaza).
The
Prince of Persia, a demon principality that withheld the Angel sent to tell
Daniel what the revelations of God sent by Gabriel meant. The Angel called for the armies
of heaven led by Michael to defeat them and give the answers to Daniel to be
recorded, Dn 10, circa 600 BC.
The
Pharisees and Sadducees who during the 400 years from Malachi to Matthew,
perverted the Gospel of the Old Ones and changed the calendar and beliefs in
Messiah and His coming and deceived Judaism. This was circa 400 BC. By 200 BC
the true scribes, who were the Essenes who were descended from the Zadok
Priests, moved away from Jerusalem to Qumran away from the warring factions of
the Pharisees and Sadducees. They preserved the OT Bible and many other
informational writings that proved not only the accuracy of OT Bible we have
today, but the whole concept of Messiah coming, dying for our sins, rising from
the dead, and returning before the Tribulation period for His believers. These
writings are the Dead Sea Scrolls as prophesied by Isa 29:4.
Jesus
said of the Pharisees and Sadducees; Jn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and
the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. The
faithful remnant continued.
Jesus
was baptized by John who was the head of the School of Prophets and in so
doing, Jesus became the last and eternal Melchizedek Priest, King, and Prophet.
Jesus became the Savior of the world, and the only way to God. He accomplished
this by giving His sinless life for us and taking away our sins, sickness, and
poverty and making us who believe this at peace with God. Jesus rose from the
dead 3 days after his execution by crucifixion and sits at the right hand of
God as the first Human King in the Trinity. This was prophesied by God starting in Gn 3:15 and through out the OT prophets concerning Jesus, the Messiah.
Satan,
who was defeated at the Cross of Jesus then after a few hundred years
infiltrated the largest of the Christian Churches. The Dark ages followed from
500-1500. God always had a faithful remnant.
Islam
which was formed by Mohammed in circa 600 became a large monotheistic religion,
which rejected Judaism and Christianity. Islam took over the Holy Land of
Israel and were finally defeated by the Crusaders. However, by ll87 the
Crusaders surrendered to the Muslim leader Saladin. From 1285-1923 the Islam
Ottoman Empire ruled in the Holy Land and all the countries surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea. World War 1 stopped the spread and ended the Ottoman Empire.
The Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther in 1517 broke the strong hold that the medieval Church had on the people. Luther wrote his own translation to the Bible in German in 1522. Now people could focus on Jesus Christ and His Word by their own studies. There were several other Bibles written in English during the early 1500's, but none were as influential as the King James Version. In 1611 the King James Bible was printed and through the power of Britton was spread throughout the world. It is an awesome translation and is full of God's fingerprints. (See my study on the Marvelous 1611 KJ Bible). This was a foundation for the building of Western Civilization. This was the Spirit of God's counter defense on the dark side that had infiltered the Church and was behind the Islamic rising.
Communism is another satanic attack and is an anti-God and atheist political strong arm that enslaves people and chokes freedom. WW1, WW2, Korea,Viet Nam, and Iraq have all had wars with the allies of a mostly free and Christian based nations against the communists. Evil was defeated except for Viet Nam. Now in the “end of the age of Grace” in which we live, Russia, China, North Korea, are a threat to freedom and to Christians and Jews.
By the providence of God and fulfillment of His promises to Israel, the most significant prophecy in modern times happened in 1948 when Israel became a Nation again after being without one for 2500 years. The hard times that were prophesied upon the Jews for turning away from Jehovah were fulfilled to the day by the prophesied scriptures which came exactly to the day, May 14, 1948. The land of Israel has prospered since then, even when the majority of the world are against them. Satan hates them because Israel brought us the Bible, and Jesus. But, God has not forgotten them and in the near future "all Israel will be saved." There are many Jews that have accepted Jesus as their Messiah, they like to be called "fulfilled Jews" or "Messianic Jews" rather than Christian. There are still hard feelings over Hitler and his relationship with the Catholic Church.
The
countries surrounding Israel hate them and have been at odds with them since
their inception. Most of them are Islamic, which calls Israel the little Satan
and the United States the big Satan. That is the pot calling the kettle black.
Jesus said:
Jn 10:10 The thief cometh
not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Jesus also said: Mt
12:33 Either make the tree good, and his
fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree
is known by his fruit. Islam has shown it’s “fruit” many times.
In the testament of Noah (the DSS), he sees the Babylonian culture
infiltrating and perverting the ancient Gospel and attacking his descendants. A
second attacker would be the land of the crescent moon that would also join in,
(Gad the seer 1000 BC). Both of these religious entities would be against
Noah’s descendants (Israel and Christians). These religions will be part of the
last world empire led by the anti-Christ and will be destroyed at the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ. The World Religion Headquarters, under the direction of
Pope Francis, has been built in Abu Dhabi and is open with a Catholic Church
with no cross, a Mosque, and a Synagogue. Jan 2024 the Pope has ordered the Catholic Church to bless those who are involved in same sex marriages, not their unholy union, but as individuals. Much of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church are upset with this ruling.
Anti-Semitism is as high as it has ever been. Christian
persecution is also at an all time high in the world. The Judeo-Christian
nations are being invaded by Islam, socialism, the woke crowd, the LGBTQIA
crowd, World Government proponents, WEC, WHO, the Green crowd, climate change
crowd, and the Luciferians who are pushing earth’s population reduction by
poison, vaccines, plagues, and abortion. This is what they call the “great
reset”.
Jesus warned us of these days. He is our only blessed hope. The Rapture is imminent. But in the meanwhile, we must keep in the Word and trust God to care for us, confess His promises, walk in Love, and always have God’s armor on, show love for one another as brothers and sisters of Christ, as He loved us. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Jesus told us to fear not, that in the world we would have problems, but He has overcome the world. In Him we can overcome as well. Listen to the Holy Ghost and His guidance. Prove all doctrines by the Word of God. Stand fast, for our redemption draws nigh. We, as believing Christians, are not scheduled for God’s wrath.
Jesus will then rule as King for 1000 years of absolute peace with mortals and immortals living together. This is the last opportunity for mankind to come to God. Satan will be imprisoned during this millennium but the anti-Christ and false prophet are thrown in the lake of fire. Then Satan will be released for a short time and tempt the mortals to revolt against Jesus. The unsaved at that time will attack Jesus’ headquarters in Jerusalem, but the fire of God falls from heaven and consumes them. The earth is cleansed and made ready for God to move His Headquarters to earth, the New Jerusalem. The fire of God does not harm the immortals or the saved and is the final cleansing of the planet. The Great White Throne judgment is enacted for all the unsaved to have their time before God to decide their eternal habitation. Satan is cast into the lake of fire, the real eternal hell, Rev 19-22.
Mortals shall live forever as long as they worship God and eat of
the tree of life. They will fill the universe with their offspring. Immortals
are the Knights of God and keep the peace, and ensure God's will is done over all the Kingdom of God.
If you do not know Jesus, it is a good time to ask Him to be your Lord and Savior and become part of God's family. He is the only way to the Father.
