(Matthew 24:37-39; Revelation 9:1; 20:1-3)
In Revelation 20, an angel with the key to the abyss locked up Satan for 1,000 years.1Rev 20:1-2 We were told that after Satan had been bound for 1,000 years, he would be released to deceive the nations for the last time.2Rev 20:3 He would gather them together at the place called Armageddon for their destruction.3Rev 16:16
In Revelation 9, an angel with the key to the abyss released Satan to deceive the nations.4Rev 9:1
The Sanctified Church has now been fully established. All the deceptions of Latin theology have been removed, and the Kingdom of Heaven has been fully cleansed, as Daniel prophesied. But man’s nature is to sin. The natural man rejects the things of God, and Satan will easily fool mankind once again.
We can understand why God allows this final attack of Satan. Now, the world knows that there is only one Church with the truth and power of God. All those who believe in Jesus are “one,” as He prayed for. The prophecies of the Bible have been shown to have already been fulfilled, and the people of the world who still worship the beast and his image and receive his mark are now completely without excuse.
The Sanctified Church is the Church of the living God, the dwelling place of God. By rejecting the Church, the people of the world are rejecting God Himself, and their torment will be well deserved.
Jesus said that when He returns, it will be like in the days of Noah—people were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day when Noah entered the Ark.5Matt 24:37-39 Those who refuse to enter the end-time Ark—the Church of the living God—will likewise perish. Paul said, “Because they did not receive the love of the truth to be saved, God will send them a strong delusion, that they will believe the lie.”62The 2:10-11
