MHz, you [and I] believe in God and your [and my] belief in God is the primary basis. I believe in God as One Eternal: the Creator: none equal or similar to Him in anyway.
All the other beliefs come second to this primary belief.
One true God who has His own thoughts and voice, one true Holy Spirit that has her own thoughts and voice, one true Son who has His own thoughts and voice. In the new earth these 3 will be in New Jerusalem, God and the Lamb will be the voice that gives direvtion to the Spirit. The Spirit's physical form at that time will be be as in the verse below.
Re.4:5
And out of the
throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and
voices:
and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God.
Re.22:1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
Re.22:2
In the midst of the street of it,
and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit every month:
and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Re.22:3
And there shall be no more curse:
but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it;
and his servants shall serve him:
Re.22:4:
And they shall see his face;
and his name shall be in their foreheads.
If anyone does not believe in this, then every other belief is in vain and useless.
2/3 of the people alive will not be believers in God to the extent they will have repented their sins. I'm not sure we should expect that ratio to be less than that at any given time before that specific day. If Angels preach the Gospel during the last 3 1/2 years then there will be no errors in the teachings, even with that 2/3 have fallen for Satan's deception.
The fate of that 2/3 is determined for the next 1,000 years. In that time the living will see Israel returned to something similar to the Garden so that when Satan is released for execution of punishment the land is called 'glorious' and the people there are Holy and the 'remnant of the Nations just happen (not) to be there for the 1,000th feast of the Tabernacles. That is when mankind first 'sees' the face of God. Before that the earth had Christ with them as described on the mountain and as in Re.1. He spends that 1,000 years making the 'saved' into perfect beings and it is training to take the role of Saints in the New Earth. The living will inhabit New Jerusalem, the mirror of that is Israel during the 1,000 years. The Gentiles that come for that feast will also be part of the ones who live inside New Jerusalem. The mirror that will be represented by the 'remnant of the Nations' during the 1,000 years will be the rest of mankind that was not alive for the 1,000 years, they will inhabit the place outside the walls of New Jerusalem.
If not for the book you read and think it is Jesus word, then you cannot believe in anything as : son of God or part of three together with Him from the start; because nothing of this is told in the Torah of Moses and in the Books of the prophets (in addition nothing of this is also in the Quran.)
It helps me identify that Jesus is putting in two appearances, one for each bruise in Ge.3:15. That is why God wrote it that way. Son of man in Eze.37 is what Jesus will do when Re.10 unfolds for believers, the reading of the list of individuals that will be alive for the 1,000 literal years that follow
the afternoon in which all sinners are sent to the grave.
On the other hand, I do believe like you do in the words of Moses and Jesus (originally these are God's words inspired to these two noble prophets); as do I believe too in the Glorious Quran revealed by God to Prophet Mohammed via the angel Gabriel.
Compare that to Christ's witness of creation in Proverbs 8, who has a better understanding of what has gone on in our past and who should be paid attention to in the future?
Likewise, I believe in the noble prophets and apostles of God (Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and the Mahdi] whom He sent to guide people from the darkness of the ignorance and idolatry --> to the light of guidance and exclusive devotion to God alone.
When God sent Jesus --- then anyone who does not believe in Jesus will lose in the afterlife; because he does not believe in Jesus the messenger of God, and by so doing he disobeys God Himself Who sent Jesus.
Not quite, it determines if you will be alive for the 1,000 years that follows the death of all sinners. To be in the grave (death and hell both) is actually better than being alive when that 1,000 years is over if Satan and the fallen angels could tempt you. If that happened you would be sent to the lake for eternity, as it is they stay where they are until Satan is in the lake and then they are released, right on schedule and they are without sin so they can remain alive. The OT doesn't show a 'gap' so it stands out as well as it does in the NT, that is by God's design rather than it being an error.
So Jews before the coming of Jesus will be ok in the afterlife if they work righteous work and believe in God alone.
But after Jesus, their good work will not avail Jews because they do not believe in Jesus the apostle of God.
They are asleep, just like everybody else that every lived, and the moment the last sinner is in the grave they will be resurrected to eternal life, the first 1,000 years is 'getting acquainted' with how the Kingdom of God works. First order of business, clean the place up.
Then when Mohammed came with his exclusive devotion to God alone, and he broke up all the idols and conveyed the Quran --> then Jews and Christians have to believe in this new apostle of God in case it is right they believe in God truly.
It meshes with the 1st Law, I'm not sure how well it promotes the terms of the 2nd Law.
M't.5:43-48
Ye have heard that it hath been said,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you,
what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only,
what do ye more than others?
do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
So any Jews, Christians and others who do not believe in Mohammed --> will lose in the afterlife whatever good work they do and whatever they claim they are good and righteous; because by denying the messenger of God, they have disobeyed God Himself (exactly like those who denied Moses and Jesus and the other prophets in their time.)
The NT wouldn't agree with that, if the Bible is not enough to create belief then that person will be shown something 'physical' to show that Jesus is as real as the NT says. That is before the final judgment call, Hebrews 12 is a description of when the last of mankind become a believer.
The Mahdi will come and confirm, believe and give witness to all these prophets and defend them and give the correct interpretation of the Quran, so that they will not say: we do not understand the meaning of the Quran revelations.
(
And whoso seeks as religion, other than the Islam, it will not be accepted from him [because the past religions were altered],
and he shall, inthe afterlife, be of those who lose [the prosperity of Paradise.])
The above between brackets is the explanation of the Quran 3: 85
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
A Call from God to the People of the Bible [: Jews and Christians]
For the people the 7 letters include thew period would be 3 1/2 years, in that time Satan is at his strongest, the details (if you can figure it out) is most of Da.12
There are many traditions that some wars will take place in the future whereby the nations of disbelievers will be exterminated."
I asked Abu abd-Allah about that and he said: there may not be something like that or he hopes nothing of this may occur.
The reason there will be such an event was determined by the time Jeremiah 25 was written. Evey Nation on Earth has to be included, if they weren't they would not come under judgment, without judgment there is no salvation. Coming in '2nd' does have it's consequences but they aren't eternally fatal.
Heb.12:5-14
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children,
My son,
despise not thou the chastening of the Lord,
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers,
then are ye bastards,
and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us,
and we gave them reverence:
shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits,
and live?
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit,
that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous,
but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down,
and the feeble knees;
And make straight paths for your feet,
lest that which is lame be turned out of the way;
but let it rather be healed.
Follow peace with all men,
and holiness,
without which no man shall see the Lord:
On the other hand, God threatens the disbelievers by the Mahdi: which implies: I shall send the Mahdi on you, and take revenge of every disbeliever.
As in the Quran 75: 1-2
لَاأُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
The explanation:
(
No, but I [: God] swear by the Doomsday!
And no, but I [: God] swear by the 'censuring soul' [: the Paraclite!])
Re.16 is the chapter with the 7 vials, it is the 3rd woe and it begins when Christ returns, it is how the sinners are sent to the grave. The time to complete that task is from when the two witnesses are resurrected until what would be evening of that very same day, There are more references than these two.
Re.18:8
Therefore shall her plagues come in
one day,
death,
and mourning,
and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire:
for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Zec.14:7
But it shall be
one day which shall be known to the LORD,
not day,
nor night:
but it shall come to pass,
that at evening time it shall be light.
God here swore by the Doomsday and swore by the Mahdi [a swore of threatening: He threatens the disbelievers by Doomsday and by the Mahdi whom He will send before Doomsday; but because Doomsday is greater than the Mahdi, so He first mentioned the Doomsday then He mentioned the Mahdi.
This is a flood of fire, similar to the flood of water, many died and a few 'witnesses to the 'power of God' survived. The first day back is the only day of doom for mankind, it is very violent and it is very short in duration. The last sinner to die is the last sinner that the 'living' will ever 'see'. Mankind is holy from that moment on.
While for Jesus, he told people that the world will not see him anymore, but will come like the lightning to inspire the Mahdi and send him and task him with explaining the Quran and the Bible to people: so the Mahdi is the spirit of truth that will reprove the world of sin, and ofrighteousness, and of judgment.
The ones told that in Matthew 23 were disbelieving Temple staff, they become believers when Jesus resurrects them from the grave, The time is Re.10 and the description of how that happens is in Eze.37. The Church will also have members resurrected on that same day.
Such things will be for believers and for disbelievers in the afterlife: the home of the punishment, recompense and reward.
"
following your death, you will feel thirsty...
In addition to that, you will feel hungry,"
The soul after death
That is for the time between sin being removed from an immortal people. The 'after-life' only begins when the 'punishments' for mankind are over. Being a blind Jews does not keep resurrection away, being part of the deceived by Satan does not remove a person from salvation, it just delays when that person experiences it. God calls 1,000 years as being equal to one day for Him.
Nothing of that; the true is true and the false is false; the authenticated about 100% true: I can tell you the ten words of God: The Ten Commandments. Other parts include true and false --> and this led to the misguidance and their wrong conceptions.
Some Books, Of The Hebrew Bible, Are Lost
Those conditions are a two way street, what God's expects from us will be returned. Mankind was created as one body that is related to every member, salvation (being alive in the new earth is an all of mankind or nothing of mankind deal)
messengers), and do not discriminate anyone from among them; He will give to them their recompenses; God [certainly] is ever Most-Forgiving, Most Merciful.)
