Muhammad CONFUSED the Muslim Mahdi as being the rider on the WHITE HORSE in Revelation 19:11-16 and MIXED UP that rider up with the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2.
So then, in TRUTH, the Muslim Mahdi is the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2 and NOT the rider on the WHITE HORSE in Revelation 19:11-16 as Muslims CLAIM.
The Rider on the WHITE HORSE in Revelation 19:11-16 is Jesus, who is coming to make war to DELIVER the Jews and rapture the Christians. Jesus is coming to put an END to all WARS.
And the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6:2 will make war to CONQUER the Jews and also kill some Christians as well.
In other words, the Islamic Mahdi will come to CONQUER the Jews and the Christian, seeking to wipe the Jews off of the face of the earth, according to Psalm 83:1-18.

Book 8 Chapter 10.
Is Jesus the Muslim Mahdi Coming on a White Horse?
In chapter 9, we learned that, for Muslims, the Muslim Mahdi is the Messiah or the Savior of the world, according to the Islamic tradition in Muslim eschatology or Muslim prophecy of the end of the age.
The traditional Islamic prophecy is found in the Hadith, the sayings of Muhammad.
In other words, the Muslim VIEW of the coming of Jesus is based upon what their prophet Muhammad SAID.
And, as Muslims will soon see, Muhammad got CONFUSED and MIXED up what he HEARD the Christians say about the coming of Jesus and the prophet of the beast that would be like a LAMB.
The following quote is from the website Answering-Islam.org Chapter Four The Mahdi: Islam’s Awaited Messiah. The emphasis is mine.
“Ka’b al-Ahbar is supported in his view that this description of the rider on the white horse as found in the Book of Revelation is indeed the Mahdi by two well-known Egyptian authors, Muhammad Ibn ‘Izzat and Muhammad ‘Arif in their book Al Mahdi and the End of Time. ‘Izzat and Arif quote Ka’b al Ahbar as saying:
I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets… For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him…went forth conquering and to conquer.”
‘Izzat and ‘Arif then go on to say:
It is clear that this man is the Mahdi who will ride the white horse and judge by the Qur’an (with justice) and with whom will be men with marks of prostration on their foreheads [Marks on their foreheads from bowing in prayer with their head to the ground five times daily].”
Again, in chapter 9 we learned that Isa or Jesus will descend AFTER the Mahdi is revealed to the Muslim world.
Here is that quote again. The emphasis is mine.
“The Messenger of Allah said: A section of my people will not cease fighting for the truth and will prevail until the Day of resurrection. He said: Jesus son of Mary would then descend and their [Muslims’] commander [the Mahdi] would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some.”
So then, the Muslim VIEW of the Mahdi is that the AWAITED MESSIAH, the Mahdi, will already be fighting and preparing to organize the ranks of the Islamic armies to conquer Israel and the city of Jerusalem for their God Allah BEFORE Isa descends from heaven.
And thus, to Muslims, their view or understanding of the Mahdi can NOT be Isa, because Muhammad SAID in his SAYINGS in the Hadith that the Mahdi will be revealed BEFORE Isa descends from heaven.
But the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us as Christians, our AWAITED Messiah will COME down from heaven or descend from heaven riding on a white horse in Revelation 19:14, which I will explain in its CONTEXT in a moment.
In other words, Jesus will come or return from heaven on a WHITE HORSE. But to us as Christians, Jesus is NOT the Muslim Mahdi.
But rather, to us as Christians, the Bible ITSELF teaches us that the Muslim Mahdi is the man of sin, the son of perdition in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, which we will also cover shortly in this chapter.
Revelation 19:6-16.
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns.
Revelation 19:7. Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. (The Lamb is Jesus and his “spiritual bride” to become ONE in unity with Jesus like in a marriage is the church, the faithful Christians)
Revelation 19:8. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9. And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the TRUE sayings of God.
Revelation 19:10. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See that you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war. (And Jesus is called the FAITHFUL and TRUE witness in Revelation 1:5-7 and in Revelation 3:14)
Revelation 19:12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, (And in Revelation 2:18 and Revelation 1:14, Jesus, the SON OF God is described as having eyes as a flame of fire) and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation 19:13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (In other words, Jesus is NOT going to lead any armies on the EARTH.
But rather, Jesus is coming to fight AGAINST the armies on the earth that are fighting against God’s people Israel)
Revelation 19:15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the NATIONS: (Notice that nations is PLURAL and Israel is only ONE nation. Jesus is NOT returning to smite Israel.
But rather, Jesus is coming to DELIVER Israel by smiting the nations that are making WAR AGAINST Israel and killing the Jews and some Christians) and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and WRATH of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:16. And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
So then, the Muslim VIEW of THEIR Mahdi is the Christians Jesus who is coming to SMITE the Muslims who are making WAR against the Jews and the Christians.
The King of kings and the Lord of lords is Jesus whom Almighty God Himself HIGHLY EXALTED to be MADE Yahweh’s King and Lord over the earth during the world to come.
When Pontious Pilate asked Jesus in John 18:36,37 if he was a king, Jesus said to this end was I BORN.
In verse 36, Jesus said that his kingdom was NOT of THIS present age, but if his kingdom was of this present world or present age, then his God would send a legion of angels to deliver him.
Now, one of the things that Muslims have trouble understanding is HOW can the Messiah of Almighty God have DIED.
That would be a “failure” of God if His Savior of the world DIED. But what Muslims have failed to see is that Almighty God ORDAINED or PLANNED for His Messiah to die an INNOCENT death. FOR the GUILTY of the world are worthy of death because we ALL have SINNED.
And God did that so that God could REDEEM whosoever BELIEVES in Jesus as God’s Messiah, the ATONEMENT that God Himself provided for us.
And thus, we as Christians believe that Almighty God Himself HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be MADE His Lord of lords and King of kings to rule over the earth in the world to COME or in the AGE to come.
So then, according to the Bible ITSELF, the coming of Jesus is the exact OPPOSITE from what Muslims are expecting the coming of Jesus to be like.
What a rude awakening it will be for Muslims when Almighty God FULFILLS His word that He has prophesied in the BIBLE.
Muhammad was not SURE, so he said for Muslims to ASK the people of the REMEMBRANCE, which are the Christians.
For you see, it is ONLY the Christians who keep the MESSAGE of Jesus to REMEMBER his DEATH!
Luke 22:19,20.
“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, THIS is my BODY (Or this bread symbolizes my MORTAL HUMAN body) which is GIVE (Or BROKEN) for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me.
Luke 22:20. Likewise, also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is SHED for you.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-26.
“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1 Corinthians 11:24. And when he had given thanks, he BROKE it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is BROKEN for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me.
1 Corinthians 11:25. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my BLOOD: this do you, as often as you drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me.
1 Corinthians 11:26. For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s DEATH till he comes.”
But Muslim scholars try to HIDE this TRUTH from the average Muslims who read only ONE translation of the Quran.
Here are some translations of the Quran that CORRECTLY translate the Arabic word as ASK the people of the Remembrance if you have doubt. The emphasis is mine.
Pickthall Quran 16:43: And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men whom We inspired – Ask the followers of the Remembrance if ye know not!
Shakir Quran 16:43: And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation— so ask the followers of the Reminder if you do not know–
Arberry Quran 16:43: We sent not any before thee, except men to whom We revealed: ‘Question the people of the Remembrance, if it should be that you do not know.
Muhammad, who was a pagan idol worshiper of many idol gods at the TIME that he heard MANY things from Christians.
Some things he BELIEVED and other things he did not believe, and yet other things he CONFUSED and MIXED up when told those things he heard to his fellow Arab Ishmaelites.
If you do not believe me then WHY did Muhammad QUOTE the Bible?
For you see, the one riding the WHITE HORSE is what Muhammad HEARD the people of the REMEMBRANCE tell him when he was still a worshiper of many idol gods.
Here is what the Bible ITSELF teaches about what happens BEFORE the second coming of Jesus.
I will start in the Book of Revelation to give an overview of what has already been fulfilled and what is being fulfilled right before our eyes, and what will be fulfilled at the COMING of Jesus.
Revelation 19:11.
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”
Again, it is Jesus who is called the FAITHFUL and TRUE witness in Revelation 1:5-7 and in Revelation 3:14.
It is Jesus who is the AWAITED Messiah or the awaited Savior of the world.
But Jesus is NOT the Muslim Mahdi. Rather, if the Muslim Mahdi comes riding on a white horse, then it will be to DECEIVE Muslims to THINK that he is the Christ, or the Messiah, the Savior of mankind.
Here is what will ACTUALLY happen during the end of days BEFORE the coming of Jesus on a WHITE horse.
In Revelation chapter 13, we are told that there shall be TWO beasts.
Christians understand the two beasts as being two world Empires that rule over the land in the Middle East, part of Europe, the northern part of Africa, Egypt and the land in the east known in ancient times as Medo-Persia.
In other words, the same land area that was conquered by the Roman Empire and the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
The FIRST beast received a wound by the sword of war and appeared dead, which is what has already happened to the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
The SECOND beast in a revival of the FIRST beast. And thus, some Christians understand that the second beast is the revival of the IMAGE or WAR like character of the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
But at first, the second beast will come in PEACEABLY, according to other prophecies in the Bible such as Daniel 11:20-24.
And when the second beast becomes strong in number and in military might, it will then take up the sword of WAR and be made in the IMAGE of the FIRST beast, the conquering by WAR, like the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
Here is Revelation 13:11-18, which I will cover one verse at a time.
“Revelation 13:11. And I beheld ANOTHER beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns LIKE a lamb, and he spoke as a DRAGON.”
So then, the SECOND beast had TWO horns LIKE a lamb. The symbolic meaning of being like a lamb refers to a RELIGIOUS system.
And the two horns represent two parts or two SECTS in that religious system, such as the Sunni and the Shia in the religion of Islam.
However, this religious system will speak as a DRAGON. The word dragon in the Bible speaks of Satan.
So then, this religious system will speak the words of Satan, but it will appear to those in that religious system that they are speaking the words of Almighty God in the Bible.
But if you COMPARE the attributes of Allah in the Arabic BIBLE to the attributes of Allah described in the Quran, then you can clearly see that the Allah in the Quran is NOT the SAME, in CHARACTER, as the Allah in the Arabic Bible.
Revelation 13:12.
“And he exercises all the power of the FIRST beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the FIRST beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
The Greek word translated as the “earth” also means the LAND where the second beast will also dominate.
And the religion of Islam is the DOMINANT faith in the LAND of the Middle East with the exception of the one nation of Israel.
Remember that I said at first, the second beast comes in PEACEABLY. And the rising again of Islam was a religion of PEACE.
But then, slowly over time, the second best is being made into the IMAGE of the FIRST beast having the character of Jihad or holy WAR in the name of their god Allah.
Now, the Bible clearly says in Revelation 13:4 that the FIRST beast was given its power from the DRAGON and that they worshiped or prostrated themselves to the dragon.
They worshiped the first beast by saying, Who can make WAR with the beast? Let us go ahead and read that verse.
Revelation 13:4.
“And they worshiped the dragon which GAVE power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Now, the Bible itself teaches us that there will be TWO WARS, one BEFORE the coming of Jesus and one AFTER the 1000-year reign of Jesus has ended.
And thus, things concerning BOTH wars are sometimes prophesied in the same verse or in the same chapter. A good example of these TWO WARS is Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.
The war in Ezekiel chapter 39 is the war BEFORE the coming of Jesus and the war AFTER the 1000-year reign of PEACE is in Ezekiel chapter 38. But that is another study for later.
For now, know that the second beast will be CAUSED to worship or prostrate themselves to the first beast to also say, Who can make WAR with the beast?
In other words, the god of both the first and second beast is the god of WAR or as Daniel 11:38 says, the god of FORCES.
And to Christians, that unrighteous character, trait, and attribute of WAR to CONQUER and enslave people is the character of Satan, the god of this present world, according to 2 Corinthians 4:3,4.
Revelation 13:13.
“And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,”
In 2 Thessalonians 2:8-11 that wicked one, the man of sin, the son of perdition, that some call the “antichrist” will perform or do LYING signs and wonders. And Jesus will destroy him at his coming.
Sadly, according to Zechariah 14:1-21, some of the followers that have the spirit of antichrist who deny that Jesus is Lord will turn and fight AGAINST Jesus at his coming.
But God promises to leave a remnant of those who surrender to Jesus and repent.
Revelation 13:14.
“And deceives THEM that dwell on the earth (Or the spirit of antichrist will deceive THEM that dwell on LAND in that area of the world) by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the SIGHT of the beast; saying to THEM that dwell on the earth, (Or the LAND dominated by Islam) that THEY should make an IMAGE to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”
So then, the IMAGE is the REVIVAL of the FIRST beast that used WAR to spread their religion of Islam.
And making WAR is AGAINST the WILL of Almighty God.
For you see, at the COMING of Jesus, after he DEFEATS the armies that are fighting AGAINST Israel, killing the Jews and the Christians in the name of their god Allah, then Jesus will rule over the earth in PEACE.
Jesus will have all of the weapons of war DESTROYED and turned into farming equipment, while the rest of the weapons of war will be burned for heating and cooking for seven years, according to Isaiah 2:4, Micah 4:3, Psalm 46:8,9, Hosea 2:15-18, Zechariah 9:10, and Ezekiel 39:9,10.
Revelation 13:15.
“And he (The Islamic Mahdi over second beast) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, (Or he had the charisma to give the mental disposition of a vital principle to the image of the first beast that used Jihad to convert unbelievers to Islam) that the image of the beast should both speak, (Or boldly speak what the Satanic verses in the Quran teach) and CAUSE that as many as would not worship the IMAGE of the beast should be killed.”
It is what the image of the first beast speaks or teaches that CAUSE the PEACEFUL Muslims to make Jihad WAR against Israel.
Remember that the IMAGE of the FIRST beast is the second beast that came in PEACEABLY at first, but then one of the horns of the lamb coerced the other horn of the lamb to make WAR in the name of their god Allah.
In other words, the radical Muslims are killing the peaceful Muslims who do NOT unite with the radical Muslim Caliphate to make WAR against Israel.
Revelation 13:16.
“And he (The Islamic Mahdi and all his followers, the Caliphate Islamic armies) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a MARK (Which is translated from the Greek word “CHARAGMA” which means to receive a “BADGE of SERVITUDE”) on their right hand, or on their foreheads:”
Again, the mark of the beast is Mulsims making WAR in the name of their god Allah. And especially, making WAR against Israel, killing the Jews and the Christians, in the name of their god Allah.
Below is a short video showing the Bismillah or the “CHARAGMA” which means MARK on the headband and on the armband.
Here is how the concordance on E-Sword defined the Greek word “charagma”. It means a badge of servitude, which is exactly what Muslims in Jihad wear on their arm and on their forehead, which they call the Bismillah. It is their MARK of their pledge to their god Allah to fight and kill unbelievers in the name of Allah.
G5480
χάραγμα
charagma
khar’-ag-mah
From the same as G5482; a scratch or etching, that is, stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue): – graven, mark.
Total KJV occurrences: 9.
Again, if you have not watched the video, watch it now and then come back and finish reading this book.
In chapter 12, I will show you how to be saved the Bible WAY through faith in Jesus as your Savior that Almighty God commissioned and raised up and received into heaven.
But before you jump to chapter 12, I want you to read chapter 11. For now, please watch the video and come back to finish the rest of chapter 10 of Book 8 Which FAITH is the TRUE Faith?
The Caliphate and the Mark of the Beast!
Revelation 13:17.
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the NAME of the beast, or the number of his name.”
In other words, at first, when Sharia law imposes the jizya tax, the non-believers still can buy and sell in the Muslim dominated countries if they pay the jizya tax.
But when the Mahdi comes and Isa or Jesus comes AFTER the Mahdi, then, according to Islamic Muslim tradition, Isa will abolish the jizya tax.
And thus, non-Muslims will no longer be able to buy or sell in Muslim dominated countries under Sharia law.
Therefore, all non-believers in the religion of Islam will have no choice but to leave the country, convert to Islam, or be KILLED.
And for a while longer, those NUMBERED among the Muslims who remain peaceful can still buy and sell.
But chances are that will not last long until the peaceful Muslims will be forced to join the Caliphate to wage WAR against Israel.
This is already beginning to happen. Muslims are KILLING other Muslims as well as killing the Jews and the Christians.
Revelation 13:18.
“Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: (Or consider the beast as a large number of people) for it is the number of a man; (Or for it is the COUNTENANCE that is what MARKS that great number of people who give their pledge of being servants to the beast) and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
The phrase “MARK of the beast” is found six times in the Bible. It is found in Revelation 13:17, which we just read.
And this phrase is found in Revelation 14:8-12, which gives us a clue that the beast is in Babylon. And that verse also warns that any who take the MARK of the beast will suffer the WRATH of Almighty God.
Then Revelation 15:1-4 shows the Christians who get VICTORY over the MARK of the beast. In Revelation 16:1,2, we see the FIRST judgment plague poured out on those who HAVE the MARK of the beast, which is grievous sores all over their bodies.
Now, in Revelation 19:20 the beast and the false prophet are taken and cast ALIVE into the lake of fire. And the remnant will be SLAIN by the sword or Jesus.
In other words, the Mahdi and the Isa in Islamic prophecy, are the beast and the false prophet in the Bible, who will be taken by the REAL Jesus of the Bible. And they will be cast into the lake of fire.
And in Revelation 20:4-6, we again see the REWARD of ETERNAL LIFE given to the Christians who do NOT take the MARK of the beast.
So then, Christians are WARNED to NOT take the MARK of the beast.
But yet, in Islam, the Muslims are being deceived that their god Allah will reward them with paradise if they TAKE the MARK or the BADGE of servitude to make WAR with the unbelievers of Islam.
But in Matthew 26:51-56, Jesus said that those who draw or take up the SWORD shall DIE or PERISH with the Sword.
And, to me, to PERISH the Sword means to die the second death in the lake of fire by the judgment by the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, according to Ephesians 6:12-17 and Hebrews 4:12,13.
So then, the only SLIM glimmer of a chance for Muslims, who choose to REMAIN Muslims, is for them to remain PEACEFUL so that they might not be slain by Jesus at his coming.
But for the Muslims who REJECT Jesus as their Lord and Savior and choose to make WAR with the Jews and the Christians, there is NO hope for them on the Day of Judgment.
Especially if they have heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and then REJECT the teachings of Jesus who died on the cross for their sins.
If you have not yet watched the video on the Caliphate being the MARK of the beast spoken of in the Bible, then I implore you to watch it now before it is too late.
The Caliphate and the Mark of the Beast!
So, for Muslims, Jews, and anyone who is NOT a Christian, then for you to be SURE of obtaining eternal life from Jesus when he comes is to become a true born-again Christian BEFORE Jesus returns.
And in the next chapter, I will tell you what you must do in order to be SAVED and have complete peace and ASSURANCE that you will obtain eternal life when the REAL Jesus of the Bible comes.
Again, the Isa in Islamic eschatology is NOT what the Jesus of the Bible will do at his coming.

Book 8 Chapter 12.
In this chapter in Book 8 called “What is the TRUE FAITH?”, I will cover the simple basic questions that people have asked.
Questions like the titles above and below. Why do I need to be saved? Can anyone be saved? What are we saved from? And HOW to be Saved the Bible WAY?
Now, in chapter 12, my focus will be on the question, WHAT are we Saved FROM?
The short answer is we are saved from eternal DEATH called the SECOND DEATH in Revelation 2:11. Revelation 20:6,14, and Revelation 21:8.
We Are Saved FROM the WRATH of God and from the Lake of fire!
Let us begin this chapter by reading Revelation 2:11, the first occurrence of the words, “second death”.
Revelation 2:11.
“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; He that OVERCOMES shall NOT be hurt of the second death.”
So then, just because a person belongs to a church denomination, and faithfully attends church services every week, does not automatically mean that they are saved from the second death.
Jesus is speaking unto the CHURCHES, and he saves that he who OVERCOMES will not be hurt of the SECOND DEATH.
But what does Jesus mean by “he that OVERCOMES”. Overcome WHAT? In other words, what or who must we OVERCOME in order that the second death will not hurt us? And what exactly is the SECOND DEATH?
Let us read Revelation 20:6,14 to learn more details concerning what the Bible itself teaches us.
Revelation 20:6,14.
“Blessed and holy is he that has part in the FIRST resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years…
…14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. THIS is the second death.”
So then, the second death is the LAKE of FIRE. But what does the Bible say about this FIRE that is called the SECOND DEATH?
But before we read a few of those passages of Scripture, let us read Revelation 21:8, which is the fourth and last verse with the words “second death” in it.
I will quote a little context with verse 8 so that you can see WHO will be cast into the lake of fire and who will NOT be cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:6-8.
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is ATHIRST of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7. He that OVERCOMES shall INHERIT all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:8. BUT the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
In this verse, we learn SOME of the things that we must OVERCOME in order to NOT be cast into the lake of fire to suffer the SECOND DEATH, which is also called ETERNAL damnation in Mark 3:29, and everlasting DESTRUCTION in 2 Thessalonians 1:9.
In other words, the world has two groups of people, those who ATHIRST for living water, who will OVERCOME, and those who do NOT OVERCOME. As Christians, we use the terms SAVED and UNSAVED.
In short, God gave us TWO choices in Deuteronomy 30:19, LIFE or DEATH. And God is begging all people to CHOOSE LIFE.
And according to Ezekiel 18:32 and Ezekiel 33:11, God takes no pleasure in the DEATH of a sinner.
Deuteronomy 30:19.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, blessing and cursing: THEREFORE, choose life, that both you and your seed may live:”
Some may ask, WHY did God set DEATH as one of the choices?
The short answer is so that God can DESTROY His ENEMIES that waged a WAR against Him and the angels who remained faithful to Him.
Please read Book 6 called B-6 Ch1 WHY God Created us!
But for now, the short answer is that Lucifer blamed God for the reason that he and the angels who sided him him wage a WAR against Almighty God and the angels who remained faithful to God.
For you see, according to Matthew 25:40 God PREPARED the everlasting fire for the Devil and his angels to DESTROY them all.
And to try to save themselves from being destroyed in the lake of fire, Lucifer accused God of creating him flawed or not creating him PERFECT.
Ezekiel 28:15.
“You were PERFECT in your ways from the day that you were created, TILL iniquity was found in you.”
In other words, God is saying to the angel or the cherub whom He anointed and set on a throne over the earth during a previous age of the earth, you are a LIAR.
I created you perfect in all of your ways. And from the day I created you until the day your corrupted yourself, you ways were perfect.
So then, do to the fact that one third of the angels were BLASPHEMING God NAME or God character, accusing Him of LYING, God SET down his DECREE.
Let us have a TRIAL to see WHO is the one LYING and who is the one who is TRUTHFUL?
And the JUDGMENT for the LIARS will be ETERNAL DEATH by being consumed to ashes in a lake of fire.
So then, originally, the everlasting fire of DESTRUCTION was ONLY prepared for the Devil and his angels.
The word or title “devil” means FALSE accuser. In other words, the god of this present world called Satan, the devil, is a LYING god.
And, according to Jesus in John 17:1-3, Almighty God the Father is the ONLY TRUTHFUL God.
The King James Version says the only TRUE God, but the Greek word used in this verse actually means TRUTHFUL, as opposed to the interpretation true God verses FALSE god.
For you see, Satan is indeed a REAL god, but he is a LYING and rebellious god.
And Almighty God the Creator is in the process of DETHRONING him and ANOINTING another to replace Satan as the God over the whole earth to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
Matthew 25:41.
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, PREPARED FOR the devil and his angels:”
Now, according to Isaiah 5:11-14. Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture, because some unsaved people do not see anything wrong with getting drunk.
Isaiah 5:11-14.
“Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Isaiah 5:12. And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard NOT the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Isaiah 5:13. Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, (Speaking of being taken captive by Satan, the god of this present world) because they have no knowledge: (Speaking about knowledge of the TRUTH to be saved and how to receive eternal life in the world to come so that the SECOND DEATH has no power over them) and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Isaiah 5:14. Therefore, hell has ENLARGED herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it.”

For yow see. It you have the WRONG VIEW of God and His Son, then you will read that WRONG UNDERSTANDING into the Scriptures.
And thus, that “interpretation” of those verses of Scripture will NOT AGREE with the REST of God’s word.
And those contradictions cause CONFUSION!
1 Corinthians 14:33.
“For God is NOT the author of CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
More studies are coming in this SHORTER Biblical Unitarian view of who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God.
If you have a PARTICULAR verse of Scripture that you would like to know the sound Biblical Unitarian meaning, then please email me at MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail.com and let me know.
For further and more in-depth studies on this subject of Jesus being created to STILL the enemies of Yahweh, please read the studies called D-25. A NEW LOOK at JOHN 1:1, In the BEGINNING!
And also read the study called D-28. The PRE-ADAMIC LUCIFERIAN FLOOD!
