The Wicked Dead Will Be Raised Up With Their Bodies

Revelation 20:11-15, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) writes these helpful words:

Will the wicked dead receive their bodies back at the final resurrection, or will only their spirits be resurrected out of Hell?

Yes, the wicked dead will receive their bodies at the resurrection. In Revelation 13, we read, “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them” for that judgment. So bodies that were drowned in the sea will be returned, and those in the grave will be raised up for that judgment. Then both soul and body will be cast into Hell. Matthew 10:28 says that we should “fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Bodies will come out of the graves. People will be judged in their bodies and will be sent to Hell in their bodies, the Bible teaches. —Evangelist John R. Rice, “Dr. Rice, Here Are More Questions...,” pp. 213-214; 1973

To withstand the inhuman conditions of the Lake of Fire, the resurrected body will have to be supernatural, able to tolerate temperature extremes without deteriorating. The thought is frightening. Revelation 14:11, “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Hell will be a place of endless torment.

Whether you go to Heaven or Hell, you will receive a resurrected body in eternity.

When Does The Rapture Occur?

1st Thessalonians 4:13-18, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) wrote these words concerning the pretribulation rapture:

When does the rapture occur? 

The rapture of the saints pictured in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 is to be expected at any moment. We do not know when. Paul himself hoped to be alive until that time and said, “Then we which are alive and remain . . . . ” So that rapture is the first thing on God's program, and the tribulation time will come afterward. The order of events, I think, is this: 

First, the rapture described there. Second Daniel's seventieth week will begin with the rise of a Prince or Antichrist to restore the Roman Empire, make a covenant with the Jews for one seven-year period. Then in the midst of that week of years, he will enter into the Temple that they will build at Jerusalem, will claim to be God and will set out to kill all the Jews who do not worship him, the Antichrist. So the last three and a half years of the seven-year period will be the Great Tribulation. Then the events following the Great Tribulation are told in Matthew 24:29 and following. Christ will appear, coming with saints and angels, The angels will be sent to gather out of every country the Jews and bring them back to Palestine. The battle of Armageddon will occur and Christ will destroy all the armies of the Antichrist. Then he will set up his throne at Jerusalem, will judge the living people who are left on the Earth, and then have the thousand-year rain on earth. —Evangelist John R. Rice, “Dr. Rice, Here Are More Questions...,” pp. 198-199; 1973

If we take the Lord's exhortation seriously in Mark 13:32-33, “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is,” then we can only conclude a pretribulation rapture. Any later doctrinal position concerning the timing of Christ's return simply doesn't fit the puzzle of Bible prophecy.

Pastor Steven Anderson's New IFB (New Independent Fundamental Baptist) movement are so corrupt doctrinally regarding Bible prophecy that they have set a date for Christ's return at 1,335 days into Daniel's seventieth week. They claim that this will happen 75 days after the Abomination of Desolation. This is strange doctrine not found in God's inspired Word.

The New World Order Will Continue

Revelation 17:9-11, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”

Our text passage is an intriguing passage of Scripture. Here is what I humbly believe it means. The seven heads are the seven mountains of Israel. The “woman” (aka, “the great whore” of Revelation 17:1)  according to Revelation 17:18 is the city of Jerusalem. The seven “kings” are world powers. Verse 10 says that “five are fallen” (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece), “and one is” (Rome), and “the other is not yet come” (the New World Order). The Bible prophecies that the eighth (Antichrist, the Man of Sin) will arise out of the seventh.

The Antichrist will rule the entire world through a confederation of ten nations (Verse 12). Those supporting nations will empower and strengthen the beast. The “beast” in Revelation 17 is often interpreted as a symbol of a powerful entity or system that opposes God, commonly associated with political and religious powers throughout history. It is described as having seven heads and ten horns, representing various kings or kingdoms that have influenced the world. This makes sense, since the Bible speaks of the beast “that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”

Since the Antichrist has never been here on earth, the “beast” must be referring to something else. I humbly think the “beast” refers to tyrannical military world power. From all the horrific atrocities that we have seen in thousands of ugly wars over the centuries, I hardly think that anyone would disagree that the War Machine is a “beast.” Although there are nine military super powers in the world today (China, Russia, India, Israel, France, Pakistan, United Kingdom, North Korea, United States) who have nuclear weapons, there are no world powers; not since Rome ruled the planet millennia ago.

In Revelation chapter seventeen, Israel is the woman (the great whore) who rides the beast with seven heads and ten horns. My understanding of this Bible prophecy is that the woman is Israel who will control the coming militant world power. What makes this even more intriguing and plausible is the astonishing fact that just earlier this month in July of 2026, the United States made Israel our 

Congress quietly moves to integrate U.S. and Israeli militaries

Story by Ben Freeman - MSN | July 2026

At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

Buried in the House's version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” The provision would arguably do more to intertwine the U.S. military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the U.S. since its founding in 1948.

Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The U.S. and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the U.S. military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data. READ MORE

Every day we are getting closer to a one-world Military Industrial Complex (aka, the beast).

The Big Picture Of Bible Prophecy

As a born again Christian, I try to always stay focused on the big picture, rather than get boggled down with political parties. All of my adult life I have seen Christians fall for the deception of Republican politics. I have seen all Republican U.S. Presidents during my 69 year lifetime rally for pro-life policy to gain the vote of conservatives and Christians, and then watch those same Republican U.S. Presidents donate tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortion services in America. Even the Trump administration has funded Planned Parenthood. The following meme is excellent...

Whether voting Democrat or Republican, gullible Americans are merely voting for two separate legs both walking in the same direction of a New World Order.

Christians across the country have been rejoicing since Donald Trump won re-election to the U.S. Presidency in November of 2024. Although I also applaud having Mr. Trump in the White House to an extent, I have never fully trusted him for good reason. The longer that Mr. Trump he is in office the less comfortable I feel about his presidency.

Trump On Iran: 'We're Winning!'; U.S. Intel: 'No, You're Not.'

One of my long time Christian ministry friends (a die hard Trump supporter) who lives in Ohio, got upset with me recently over my negative comments about President Trump's mishandling of Iran. President Trump is now asking Congress for another $87.5 billion to bomb, bomb, Iran! That's on top of the $38.7 billion that we've already spent attacking Iran this year. Numerous credible sources have determined that for just $30 billion our government could end homelessness across the United States! The old adage is very true: Charity starts at home.

I simply cannot and will not support a political madman whose only effort since he took office in January of 2025 has been to Make Israel Great Again! I am very disappointed with President Trump. While over 75,000 Palestinians (mostly defenseless women and children) in Gaza were slaughtered (which the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. denomination just voted 454-15 in June of 2026 to be a bona fide geocide in Gaza), President Trump not only did nothing to stop the killings, he mocked the suffering victims of Palestine, and then announced his diabolical plans to build a hotel resort area with casinos in Gaza instead of rebuilding the people's homes which were bombed to smithereens by U.S. funded Israeli missiles.

The way I see it, President Trump is just further doing the dirty work of his handlers, the Zionist Globalists. The inspired Holy Bible identifies our enemy as Satan, the accuser of the brethren, who is the god of this evil world (2nd Corinthians 4:4).

I humbly predict that when President Trump leaves office in January of 2029:

1. There will still be 50,000,000 illegal immigrants in the U.S. who are taking away our jobs, housing, hospital resources, social services, et cetera, from U.S. citizens.
2. Inflation will be even higher than when Trump took office in 2025 (the national median cost of a home just hit an all-time high at $440,000).
3. Homelessness will be an even worse problem than it is right now.
4. The National Debt will be much worse (it has already increased during Trump's time in office from $37 trillion to $39.5 trillion).
5. Nothing will have changed in Iran.
6. Israel will be great again, but not the United States.
7. Hurting farmers and ranchers will still be very peeved with President Trump's economic policies which have hurt them financially.
8. There will be many more pardoned political criminals (who were justly convicted in a court of law); criminals who ripped-off hardworking honest taxpayers, who didn't deserve to be released; they will continue to praise Trump for releasing them from suffering the consequences of their actions; but you or I as normal U.S. citizens would rot in prison.
9. When ungodly Democrats retake the White House, all of the Satanic D.E.I. (diversity, equality and inclusion) garbage will come back with a vengeance. U.S. corporations that had previously abandoned their D.E.I. policies under the Trump administration will re-embrace them to benefit from government perks for cooperative companies.
10. Democrats from mere spite will deliberately counter and undo much of the good that President Trump has accomplished to appease the millions of Trump-haters. I hope that I am wrong, but it sure seems like a plausible scenario. I've never seen such public hatred of a politician as how much the Democratic left-wing hates Mr. Trump.

These are ten major evils that I foresee when Mr. Trump leaves office in a couple years (29 more months, Lord willing). It is just my humble opinion, but I think my predictions are sound and likely to happen. 

I still remember the sick feeling that I felt as an American citizen and a God-fearing Christian when Joe Biden took office in 2021, who did incalculable damage to our country during his time in office as U.S. President. It couldn't have been more obvious on a daily basis that he was doing the dirty work for the New World Order, as literally millions of illegal aliens (7,000 per day for 4 years) flooded across our southern border unchecked and unhampered, as U.S. border patrol were ordered to stand down. We saw this same disturbing phenomena happening in Europe. Do you really think this was all a coincidence? Not a chance!

The New World Order (NWO) is here to stay unfortunately. It has been forming for a very long time and has now been kicked into high-gear. President Trump may appear to be hindering or fighting against the NWO, but it just seems that way. In reality, Trump is helping and enabling the NWO. I have been against the left/right paradigm deception for the past 24 years, since by God's grace I started my Jesus-is-Savior.com ministry back in April of 2002. It is hard to believe that 24 years have passed so quickly. To God alone be all the credit and praise.

Dear reader, if you are a born again child of God like me, although we can fight against communism, we simply cannot stop the evil New World Order from happening. It is a part of God's sovereign plan. Proverbs 16:4, “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” Our focus should be upon the things above, not the things of this temporary life on earth (Colossians 3:1-3). This life shall soon pass (James 4:14).

Jesus exhorts believers in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” We can have peace even in the worst of circumstances, knowing that we have a hope in Jesus Christ because He is risen from the dead. John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” The world seeks peace in temporary financial security, but we have peace as saints in God's promise of eternal security (Titus 1:2).

Make sure dear friend that you are on the winning side through faith alone in Christ Jesus.

Prophecy Mongers—Be Careful Not To Connect Dots

Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

Today, I expressed my frustration on Facebook over President Trump asking Congress for an additional $87.6 billion more money to bomb, bomb, Iran. While our federal government is $39.5 TRILLION in debt, they just keep recklessly borrowing more money. It needs to stop!!!

For $30 billion we could permanently end homelessness in the United States. How is it that our federal government always has trillions of dollars for war (the Iraqi War alone cost taxpayers $6.2 TRILLION), but homelessness is never solved? Clearly, they don't want to solve the homelessness problem. They don't want affordable housing. All they want is to continue borrowing more money for war, to make the Federal Reserve owners richer.

In response to my comments today, someone who idolizes Trump got upset with me for criticizing their political hero. I am tired of Christians lionizing men, particularly Republican U.S. Presidents who are just a different leg walking in the same direction of a New World Order (NWO). Left or right doesn't matter at the end of the day, because either way we are headed for a NWO.

When President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029, I humbly predict:

1. Homelessness will still be a major problem
2. Crime will still be a serious problem nationwide
3. U.S. farmers and ranchers will still be upset with Mr. Trump for financially hurting them
4. Israel will be great again, but not America
5. Our government will be in trillions more debt than before (now at $39.5 trillion)
6. Over one million U.S. abortions each year will continue
7. Same-sex marriage (perversion) will still be legal
8. 50 million illegal immigrants will still reside in the United States
9. There will be a bunch more buildings, airports and statues named after Donald Trump
10. The displaced victims in Gaza won't be returned to their homeland

In my humble opinion, this war with Iran never should have started. In 2025, the U.S. military took out Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon. I don't buy the bogus claim by President Trump that Iran would have had a nuclear bomb in two weeks. That is a great excuse to bomb Iran, and that's all it is, an excuse! Mr. Trump makes a lot of bold false claims.

The comatose American people watched idly as U.S. troops murdered 1,455,590 Iraqi citizens in cold blood to remove one man from power, Saddam Hussein. No alleged WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) were ever found because they never existed in Iraq. The Bush administration lied, just as the Trump administration is lying. Wars, bombs, tanks, guns, ammunition—trillions of dollars more are being recklessly spent of taxpayer money!!! The Luciferian banksters are getting richer, funding Satan's kingdom of darkness (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4).

I don't support the Democrats or the Republicans. I don't support President Trump. I don't support the War against Iran. I certainly don't support Israel or Zionism. My heart is with the displaced victims in Gaza. My heart is with the families of over 75,000 murdered Palestinian victims, while Mr. Trump arrogantly did nothing but praise the genocide in blind support of Israel.

The Facebook user who got upset today falsely accused me of being ignorant. He said that Bible prophecy is unwrapping at warp speed and I am missing it. Kindly said, he is very wrong. There is nothing happening today that reveals that Bible prophecy is unwrapping at warp speed. Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” The Bible teaches that manmade Israel could be blown off the map tomorrow, and it would be 100% biblical. Manmade Israel today (since 1948) has no biblical claim to divine protection. Present-day Israel is not the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Dear reader, please be careful not to get caught up into the dot connecting nuts on social media who read meaning into everything. The old adage is true: To the man with a hammer in his hand, everything looks like a nail sticking up. With all the goofy YouTube videos and websites today exploiting Bible prophecy to make money, you simply cannot trust 97% of what you find in cyberspace.

Nothing going on with Israel or Iran right now reveals Bible prophecy! Wars are nothing new. Manmade Israel has been at war since 1948 with their neighbours. I heard today in the news that President Trump has agreed for Saudi Arabi to have a nuclear weapon. I'm not sure what to think about that, but it doesn't sound wise. The 911 lawsuits against Saudi Arabi's involved with the 911 attacks still haven't been resolved in court, and likely never will. Why are we giving them permission to create a nuclear weapon? This evil world is so corrupt!
