SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT BEGAN MAY 21, 2011

LIVING IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT TRACT SERIES #1

May 21^{st, 2011 was the most publicized date for the Day of Judgment that the world has ever seen. It was publicized on billboards, and advertised on buses. The message was seen on cars, bumper stickers, t-shirts, literature, magazines and newspapers. The news media all over the world also trumpeted the warning message of the gospel that that date would be JUDGMENT DAY! Much of the world was, in a sense, holding its collective breath in anticipation of the final judgment of God.}

And yet, (seemingly) nothing happened. Things did not transpire as thought. There was no worldwide earthquake and awful circumstances that accompanied the date of May 21, 2011. Instead that day came and went like any other day. Nothing outwardly visible happened at all. Many in the world, quite relieved, ridiculed the whole idea. "See," they said, "it was all foolishness." And they were not alone, those in the churches likewise rejoiced: "We told you no one can know the day or the hour!"

However, what the world and the church failed to take into account was God’s propensity towards bringing spiritual judgments to pass. A spiritual judgment, like anything spiritual, cannot be seen. By definition something ‘spiritual’ is invisible to the human eye. For example, the Bible declares that God is Spirit:

The Bible tells us that God is a Spiritual Being. But since the world cannot see him, and since the world cannot touch Him, and since it cannot detect him with its senses, therefore according to the world’s reasoning God does not exist. Spiritual things are simply nonexistent to the world. But of course God does exist. Despite the fact that He cannot be seen with the natural eye, He is still very real. God’s people understand this. We also understand that the Bible is a spiritual book. It is God’s book, and since He is Spirit we’re not surprised at all that the bible is full of spiritual truth. God’s people believe through the eyes of faith which makes spiritual (invisible) things visible to the believer:

Since much of the world denies God exists because they cannot see Him, we’re not surprised that the idea of an invisible or spiritual judgment of God is ridiculous to them. And yet, as believers of the Bible we really aren’t interested or concerned at all with what the world finds ridiculous or foolish. Our very gospel, our very book the Bible, our very Savior Jesus Christ is thought foolish by the world: proving beyond doubt to the child of God that the world is extremely blind and ignorant concerning spiritual things. We do not take our leading or direction from the world in spiritual matters whatsoever. The world’s opinion of us and our beliefs is of absolutely no importance to the child of God. No. As a child of God our only concern is what does the Bible say.

Well, let’s ask that question. What does the Bible say about the idea of a spiritual Judgment Day? Is it possible? Is there any biblical precedent for this kind of an idea? In order to answer these questions we must search the Bible for answers. And as we do so it so happens that we will find quite a good deal of information concerning this very point.

THE FIRST JUDGMENT IN EDEN: A SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT

Let’s begin our search in the book of Genesis. Soon after creating Adam God gave a very stern warning concerning one of the trees found in the Garden of Eden.

A great many people, even many not all that familiar with the Bible, no doubt, have heard of this first and only law given to newly created man. God clearly told man not to eat of the fruit of that one particular tree. And God also told man that in the day he ate of that tree he would surely die. It was a very direct, unequivocal statement. Certainly if you or I had been present at that time and had heard this statement coming from God, we would have understood perfectly. Eat of that tree—and you die! And of course we all know what happened. The sad tragic history of the world testifies to the fact that Adam and Eve disobeyed God. They soon ate of the tree God had told them not to eat from.

Adam and Eve transgressed the only law God had given to them. They ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. And yet they did not die in that day. If you were to read the entire historical account found in Genesis chapter 3, you will not find Adam, nor his wife Eve, falling over and dying after eating from the fruit of that tree. As a matter of fact, the Bible records Eve giving birth, having one of her children killed (Abel) and then giving birth to more children: all after eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. The Bible also records Adam living for hundreds of years thereafter; Adam didn’t die until he was 930 years of age.

But how is it possible for Adam to have lived for hundreds of years after eating of the fruit of that tree? Is it possible that God was wrong somehow? We dare not think that He (God) lied. No. Neither of these things is an option: God is never wrong and it is impossible for Him to lie. How then can we explain it? The answer comes once we look at the Bible with a view towards spiritual understanding. That is, we must consider the possibility that God did bring death to mankind on the very day He said He would; but that the death man died that day was not physical but rather a spiritual death:

Through these verses we learn that man died in his sins. The Bible reveals that mankind died in his soul existence. Before they fell into sin man was alive in both body and soul. He had communion with God. An intimate relationship existed between God and mankind. But once man sinned that spiritual connection between God and man was broken: he died that very day in his soul. This is why when God saved people during the day of salvation that it was necessary that they became born again in their soul. Salvation was the re-generation of the sinner’s dead soul. The important point for our study is, that God simply said: "In the day you eat thereof you will die." God said this without specifying what type of death man would die. He did not reveal in advance that he meant death in soul and not death in the physical body.

Therefore we see that the first major judgment recorded in the Bible was actually a spiritual judgment. It was spiritual, because no one could have seen Adam and Eve’s soul die that day. In fact, Satan could have claimed he was right and have said, "See, I told you that you wouldn’t die. Look! Nothing happened to you. You’re still very much physically alive." And any outward observers would have agreed with him. Yes, indeed, nothing happened as God had said. And yet, that idea would have been completely wrong. Something did happen. Something very real and something very grievous did occur, albeit in the spiritual realm. God’s wrath fell upon them and they died in their soul existence.

"Alright," some may say, "we’ll allow the idea that God did bring a spiritual judgment upon Adam and Eve: but that doesn’t mean that May 21, 2011 was a spiritual judgment." Yes that’s true, but at this time we’re not trying to prove May 21, 2011, was the beginning of Judgment Day.

The question before us right now is: is it possible that God could bring the world’s final Day of Judgment to pass, in a spiritual way? Once we establish the answer to this question, we can then move on to discuss the good deal of outstanding biblical evidence that continues to point to May 21, 2011, as Judgment Day. For now though, let’s turn again to the Bible and see if we can discover anything further regarding spiritual judgments.

THE FIGURE OF A CUP

The Bible often refers to God’s wrath by using the figure of a cup.

Notice that along with fire and brimstone God intends to rain down "snares" upon the wicked. Perhaps you can envision literal fire and brimstone falling down upon unsaved mankind in the awful Day of Judgment, but snares? That’s traps. Does anyone really believe that traps or cages are going to fall down from the sky all over the earth? Of course not! God added this word ‘snares’ in order to assist us in understanding that the cup of wrath given to all the unsaved people of the world will be a spiritual cup. It’s not literal, but spiritual judgment. This is why the Bible also says the whole world will be snared at the time of the end:

On May 21, 2011, as the world rejoiced and exclaimed (the church along with them) ‘nothing happened’. At that very time God ensnared all of the unsaved people of the earth (in and out of the churches) and began to give them the cup of His fury to drink.

2ND SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT: CHRIST DRINKS FROM CUP OF GOD’S WRATH

The Bible also reveals to us that Jesus Christ took upon Himself the sins of His people, and that God poured out His wrath upon Christ: punishing Him in their place. The Lord Jesus entered into the human race in order to demonstrate and show forth His glorious atoning work. While in the Garden of Gethsemane he began to experience God’s wrath while making this demonstration:

Jesus drank of the cup of the wrath of God; but what did this mean? Did fire bolts come down from heaven to destroy Him? No. There was nothing like that. Actually, any outward observer in the Garden of Gethsemane would have only seen a sorrowful and grieved Jesus, nothing else. There were no outward indications of God’s wrath at all. In other words, Christ’s drinking of the cup of the wrath of God while in the Garden of Gethsemane was not a physical judgment, but rather a spiritual judgment. Jesus suffered greatly due to His experiencing punishment in the spiritual realm.

This means then, that now two important Biblical judgments were completely spiritual in nature: the judgment upon Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the judgment of God upon Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. These two judgments by themselves present sufficient evidence to support the idea of Judgment Day occurring in a spiritual way; at least the existence of these biblical precedents ought to move the sincere child of God to honestly investigate this as a genuine possibility. The Bible refers to those that honestly search for truth concerning the things they hear coming forth from the Word of God as Bereans:

God’s people do not just simply ignore information from the Bible with a dismissive wave of their hand; but rather they listen carefully and then check out the things they are hearing in the Bible to see if they are true or not.

THE BIBLE RECORDS ANOTHER MAJOR SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT

But those two judgments of God aren’t all, there’s also another judgment for us to consider: The judgment of God upon the New Testament churches:

God has provided us great amounts of information in His Word pointing to His end time plan to bring to pass judgment on the world’s congregations. He also uses the figure of a cup to picture the outpouring of His wrath upon those in the churches and congregations:

God first gives the cup to Jerusalem (a figure of the churches) and then to the rest of the nations (pointing to the world).

By God’s goodness and grace, He has revealed to us that the church age ended. Judgment began on the churches in the year 1988. God’s Spirit came out of the midst of the New Testament congregations at that time, and immediately the light of the gospel was put out within all churches of the world. And yet despite the Bible’s teaching on this point, the New Testament churches continue on completely undisturbed by this terrible truth. Many of their pastors and elders have heard about the Bible’s teaching regarding judgment upon them, but they dismiss it and completely disregard it. But how can they ignore such an enormous teaching of the Scriptures, especially on such a grave point? They are able to ignore it and dismiss it as nothing because it is a judgment found in the spiritual realm. The Spirit of God could never be seen while in their midst, and also could not be seen once He had left them. The darkness that presently engulfs all churches all over the world is a spiritual darkness; it cannot be detected with physical sight and natural understanding. But God’s people are able to understand and detect these things based upon discernment, or spiritual sight that God has given to them:

God’s elect heard and understood the seriousness, the reality of the judgment on the churches, despite the fact that it was entirely a spiritual judgment.

SUMMARY

We’ve now examined three biblical judgments, and we have found something remarkable: each of these three judgments can only be described as being spiritual in nature. And we’re not speaking of minor, unknown and rather obscure judgments, but three of the most major judgments recorded in the Bible. How could we discuss anything more important than God’s judgment upon mankind in the Garden of Eden: or, God’s judgment upon Christ in Gethsemane: or, God’s judgment upon the New Testament corporate church during the period of the great tribulation?

As a matter of fact, it would be impossible to name a judgment in the Bible more important than these three. That leads us back to our main question: does the Bible teach spiritual judgments? After searching the Bible we can say with assurance, that yes it does! The Bible does indeed teach that God brings spiritual (unseen to the naked eye) judgments to pass upon mankind due to their sin.

But the big question for us all in the world today is: did God bring to pass a spiritual judgment beginning on May 21, 2011? The Bible’s response is: Yes! There is a good deal of biblical justification for saying that a spiritual judgment began on that day and continues up until this present time.

In fact, the biblical evidence is so strong that we really need to ask ourselves: how could it be that we had never previously considered a spiritual judgment as even a possibility for the final judgment? We should note however, that the Bible does teach us that God will physically and very literally destroy this world on the last day of earth’s existence. We wholeheartedly agree with this sound biblical teaching. But the Bible is also teaching that May 21, 2011, began a period of time known as ‘Judgment Day’ in a spiritual way.

This ‘spiritual judgment will continue for a set number of days and then finally, on the very last day of this period of time God’s wrath will physically manifest itself and utterly destroy this entire creation with every unsaved person along with it. The Bible reveals that every living person alive today has entered into the period of time the Bible identifies as ‘Judgment Day’. At this time we are all living in the Day of Judgment. Terribly, the following Scripture is now being fulfilled:

Of course this terrible truth leaves us with many questions concerning the character of this present period of judgment.

And also we wonder how it is that God’s elect people are still living and remaining upon the earth during this time. We will seek to answer these questions and many more in the next installment of our tract series "Living in the Day of Judgment".

LIVING IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT TRACT SERIES #1

NO MORE SALVATION—God stopped saving people on May 21, 2011

LIVING IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT TRACT SERIES #2

Upon saving the last one of His elect, God ended the possibility of salvation for the unsaved people of the world by shutting the door of heaven on May 21, 2011. From that point forward, not one person anywhere in the world has become saved. Once God shut the door of heaven (a spiritual door that no man could ever see while it was open: nor could they see once it was shut) each person’s spiritual condition was permanently fixed and established. The following Scriptures have now taken effect:

Never again will a sinner be taken out of a life of spiritual darkness and be translated into God’s kingdom of light. After thousands of years of sending forth the gospel into the world to find and save lost sinners God’s plan was now finally accomplished. The time of judgment had now come upon the world. And the judgment was that there would be no more salvation for mankind. Throughout the Day of Judgment (which is a prolonged period of time beginning on May 21, 2011, and in all likelihood concluding 1600 days later on October 7, 2015) the unsaved will remain unsaved and the saved will remain saved. No one’s spiritual condition can be altered.

Q? How can you say that God stopped saving people on that date of May 21, 2011? I thought as long as the world continued God would always save people?

A. In order for us to properly understand what God did in shutting the door of heaven on May 21, 2011, we need to have an overall understanding of God’s salvation program. According to the Bible, every human being stands guilty before God and rightfully deserves the penalty of death for our sins against Him. Since all men are sinners and none are righteous no man could ever do enough good works to earn salvation or cause God to save them. However, God graciously decided to save a portion of mankind (a remnant out of the whole) who were chosen by Him only as a result of His good pleasure. God selected these people to obtain salvation before any of them were born. The program of God’s election plan was carried out throughout the history of the world and finally, it was completed on the date of May 21, 2011.

GOD IS SOVEREIGN CONCERNING WHOM HE SAVES

The Bible reveals God’s complete sovereignty in the matter of those He decided to save:

The Bible also refers to these "chosen" people as the "elect" of God.

We read that the names of these elect people were recorded by God in a book:

Of course there’s no actual book with the names of the elect written down. This is a figure of speech designed to teach us that God is the One that selected each person He intended to save out of the whole of mankind. This process of election can also be seen in the book of Romans:

Before either of the twin boys had done any good or evil God determined to love Jacob and to hate Esau. To forgive Jacobs sins, but not to forgive Esau’s sins. The Lord’s statement concerning these actual twin boys provides us with an excellent example of how God’s election program works. Since Jacob was chosen (and Esau was not chosen) before they were even born, this shows in an amazing way that the good deeds or evil works of a person have nothing to do with whether or not one is a recipient of God’s grace. This is why the Bible says that God chooses according to His own good pleasure. The Lord, knowing that some people would say that choosing one to love and the other to hate wasn’t fair, went on to answer those type of accusations a little further on in Romans chapter 9:

The Bible’s teaching of election reveals God as a sovereign King in the matter of exactly whom He foreordained to become saved. God makes no apologies for electing certain ones to become saved. After all, if all men received their due reward, then none would become saved; we all would perish and be destroyed by God’s wrath.

Human history can rightfully be understood as the period of time God granted life on earth to exist for the sole purpose of God working out His plan of salvation (for the elect) and His plan of judgment (for all non elect). The period of time God gave mankind in which to become saved came to a close on May 21, 2011. It was by that point in time that the Lord had found each and every one of His elect people: all those predestinated to obtain salvation before the world began. Since May 21, 2011 we have entered into the period of God’s judgment upon this world due to our sins against Him. We are all presently living in this Day of Judgment. However, the elect child of God is not being punished as the unsaved people are being punished for their sins. The elect child of God is still alive and remaining upon the earth during this present Day of Judgment only to have his faith severely tried before finally entering into the kingdom of God:

GOD IS ALSO SOVEREIGN CONCERNING WHEN HE SAVES

God determined to complete His saving work of the elect during a period of time He referred to in the Bible as the, "Day of Salvation." Once this prolonged "spiritual day" came to an end so also would salvation:

The acceptable time, the Day of Salvation is also what Jesus spoke of in the gospel of John:

The work Christ is referring to are the works of salvation the Father gave Him to do:

Of course we should not miss the obvious admonition John 9:4 is giving us, that the day would end and when it did the Lord Jesus Christ’s work (of salvation) would not be able to be performed in the night that would follow. During this intense period of spiritual darkness that follows the Great Tribulation the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer performing the work of saving sinners. The light of the gospel insofar as salvation is concerned has gone out all over the world.

Sorrowfully, according to the plan of God the Day of Salvation ended on May 21, 2011 (along with the Great Tribulation period and the Latter Rain), and the spiritual night has come upon the world.

SEEKING THE LORD BEFORE THE DAY OF WRATH CAME

It was during the period of time known as the, "Day of Salvation" that God encouraged sinners to come to Him and cry out for mercy, in the hope they might be one of those elect people. The following passage is typical of this kind of encouragement:

Notice, in Zephaniah 2:2-3, God commands man to seek the Lord "BEFORE the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you." It is during the time prior to the pouring out of His wrath that God is gracious and merciful and kind towards sinners (if they happen to be one of His elect). But the strong and unmistakable implication is that once the day of His wrath comes to pass there will be no such kindness shown to sinners. God has been very clear all throughout the Bible that Judgment Day is not a time to seek God for salvation. Once Judgment Day comes (and it has come) then there is no more mercy granted, no further grace extended, and no additional compassion bestowed upon the ones that have transgressed the law of God.

The Day of Salvation was in effect throughout the 1955 years of the church age (33 AD through 1988 AD). Then after the first 2300 evening mornings of the Great Tribulation period, once again in September of 1994 God began to evangelize the world with what the Bible calls the Latter Rain. During this little season of about 17 years God would bring to a climax His salvation program by saving a great multitude of people from the nations of the world. God opened up the Scriptures at the beginning of the Great Tribulation to reveal a good many truths. Included in this was the information concerning "time and judgment." The Bible revealed a timeline that included the date for the end of the church age (May 21, 1988) and the date for the beginning of Judgment Day (May 21, 2011). God moved in His people to broadcast the message of May 21, 2011, Judgment Day, into all the earth and this message of approaching judgment was used by God to apply Christ’s atoning work to a great number of people from every nation. The Bible indicates that God saved more people in the short period of the Latter Rain than He did in all previous history.

Finally, on May 21, 2011, the Great Tribulation period ended and the Latter Rain came to a close. By this time all the elect captives to sin and Satan were set free by Christ. God’s Word had now accomplished its purpose of finding all the lost sheep of the house of Israel. All of the elect, chosen to become saved from before the world began, had now become saved. The Day of Salvation was over.

GOD SHUTS THE DOOR OF HEAVEN

There is no question that the Bible clearly teaches that God will shut heaven’s door in the Day of Judgment:

We see from this account that once the Master rose up to shut the door He never opened it again. The pleas of those outside the door did not persuade Him to reverse His decision and open the door. And the people that found themselves outside the door are never permitted to enter in from their position of being without.

Again, it was on May 21, 2011, that God shut the door of heaven. He could now do this since all the people Christ obligated Himself to save (by dying for their sins from the foundation of the world) had now become saved. Once all the elect were safely in the kingdom of God, the door was shut!

Therefore, they were as safe in God’s kingdom through salvation as Noah and his family were safe inside the ark in the day that the flood began.

The Bible ties together the flood of Noah’s day and May 21, 2011 which came exactly 7000 years later (4990 BC + 2011 = 7001 − 1 = 7000). Since May 21, 2011 was the last day of the Great Tribulation period and also fell 7000 years precisely from the date of the flood, and since it also had the underlying Hebrew calendar date of the 17th day of the 2nd month (which matched precisely with the day that God shut the door of the ark and brought the flood to devastate the world), we can be sure that God placed His hand on May 21, 2011 as the day that the door of heaven was shut to the unsaved inhabitants of the earth.

We’re not surprised that many today dispute with God over His act of shutting the door of heaven on this world. It is actually in keeping with the nature of mankind. Whenever God makes a sovereign decree we can expect the natural minded man to argue with Him about it. Men do this all the time concerning God’s election program regarding whom He saves; and now men are doing the very same thing regarding when God does the saving.

The shutting of heaven’s door is an action performed by God according to His perfect and sovereign will. If God opens something (as He had previously widely opened up the door of heaven to save a great multitude, out of the Great Tribulation) man cannot shut it. Likewise, if God shuts something, no man can open it.

True believers are only humble servants. We are not the ones that determine the times and seasons of God’s salvation program: nor do we determine when these times and seasons will conclude in judgment. When it comes to the door of heaven the child of God is simply a doorkeeper:

The Bible reveals that God is the only One possessing the necessary power and authority to make these types of awesome decrees. It is the Bible that insists that heaven’s door is now shut to all the unsaved inhabitants of the earth. Therefore, this teaching comes from the One that issues the decrees to the doorkeepers and not the lowly doorkeepers themselves.

The child of God, alive and remaining on the earth in the Day of Judgment can only fulfill his role of a humble doorkeeper as he receives instructions from the Word of God, the Bible. It is the Bible that indicates and confirms God’s salvation plan ended on May 21, 2011. It is the Bible that declares God brought to pass on that day an awful and terrible judgment, the judgment of shutting heaven’s door. This judgment ended Christ’s work of saving sinners: a judgment that man could not see with his physical eyes and, therefore, it is a spiritual judgment. There is a strong likelihood that the spiritual judgment now upon the world will continue for 1600 days and then conclude with the literal destruction of all unsaved people and the end of the world on October 7, 2015.

THE HOPE GOD ALLOWS FOR MANKIND IN THE TIME OF THE FINAL JUDGMENT

Q? Are you saying then, that there’s no more hope for people to be saved?

A. Again, we must be very clear that God is no longer actively saving sinners. He has finished that work.

Remember John 9:4 states, "the night comes when no man can work." Christ will not save someone today that is presently unsaved. The Bible indicates that each person’s spiritual condition is now eternally fixed.

Q? So you’re saying all hope is gone?

A. During this time of judgment upon the world the only hope that the Bible allows for, is the hope that maybe God saved a person before He shut the door of heaven on May 21, 2011; that is, if a person was not part of any church and they heard the message from the Bible, then they may hope that God saved them prior to His shutting the door of heaven. A person with this hope in mind may go to God and say, "O Father, having had mercy (before May 21) have mercy."

Q? What if a person was part of a church?

A. That is a different matter. God ended the church age and commanded His people to leave the churches. God already was not performing the work of salvation in the churches throughout the 23 year judgment upon them (May 21, 1988 through May 21, 2011) and, therefore, anyone remaining in the church before May 21, 2011 could not possibly have become saved while there. Spiritually, this was terrible for them, but things got even worse once the judgment transitioned from the churches to the world (on May 21, 2011) at that point in time, the condition of "no salvation" (which was exclusively in the churches), expanded to include the whole world. Tragically, this means that people in the churches could not have been saved during the glorious period of the outpouring of the Latter Rain and, now, in the Day of Judgment, cannot be saved at all since God has ended His salvation program. The only thing the Bible allows for regarding those in the churches is a prayer in which they may request of God that the cup of wrath be removed from them.

GOD COMMANDS US TO FEED HIS SHEEP

Q? This is very troubling information, if God isn’t saving anyone any longer then why are you sharing it with people?

A. You are asking a good question. There are at least three reasons why a true believer desires to share these things with others:

First, God commands us to feed His sheep—that is—the majority of those elect people that God saved during the Great Tribulation period (the great multitude) are still alive and living on the earth in this time of judgment. Since we have no idea who these people are, we must share the Bible’s teaching openly with all. The things we are sharing are true to God’s Word, and it is the sharing of truth that spiritually nourishes and feeds the sheep of God. Secondly, the last thing many of these people heard from the Bible was that May 21, 2011 would be the Day of Judgment on the world. We want the elect to know that that day, indeed, was Judgment Day—exactly as the Bible revealed. Thirdly, God commands His people to not be silent but to publish these things. The Lord uses Babylon as a picture of the world under His wrath. It says in Jeremiah 50:

 World War III - Food Poisoning !!!

Battle for humanity nearly lost: global food supply deliberately engineered to end life, not nourish it
