1 Thessalonians 5; Read All.

Rev.18: Read All.

     The world events we are witnessing now are to bring in Satan's final world 'beast' kingdom over all the earth. When the false messiah world king is setup in Jerusalem in the future, that's when the false peace of one world government will occur. To preserve Jerusalem for His sake and His servant David's sake, God is going to flatten it at Christ's second coming, and end the false reign of antichrist in a flesh temple upon Mount Zion. It's simply going to be an act of renovation, in prep for Christ's thousand years reign. (Mark 13:1-3; Zechariah 14).

Isa 31:6    Turn ye unto Him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7   "For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

     Again, turn unto our Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ, and not towards man. The LORD is saying turn to Him now, while there is still time! If you have put your trust in idols made with hands, then cease from worshipping idols and things of this world, and turn back to The LORD. As written our Heavenly Father seeks those who worship Him to do so "in spirit and in truth"

 

John 4:23-24: Read All.

 

 That means don't put your trust on man, nor idols made by man, nor on any 'system' of man, but place your trust in our Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus.
     What time does this "For in that day" apply to? It means The Day of The LORD, when God will put an end to this flesh age time by His consuming fire.

At that "last trump" event all alive upon this earth will be changed from the flesh to their spiritual body. That event will begin the "thousand years" reign of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth. That "thousand years" period is 'The Day of The LORD'. As we discovered in previous Isaiah Chapters, that will also be a time of great teaching. Those who erred in spirit will come to understanding, and even the murmurers will learn sound doctrine, and all knees will bow to Christ our KING.

Isa 31:8    Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

     Recall back to Isaiah 14 where God made a comparison of the historical king of Assyria as a role type for Lucifer (Satan) himself. Note that the Assyrian (Satan) will not fall by the sword of flesh man ("a mean man" is the sole Hebrew word 'adam' - Strong's 120). Again, the king of Assyria is a type for what will occur upon Satan when our LORD will accomplish these events of His return to this earth. Let's turn forward to Isaiah 37 and note what befell the servants of the historical king of Assyria, and note that as a type of working to occur upon Satan's servants in the latter days also:

Isa 37:35    "For I will defend this city to save it for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake."
36  Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
37  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

     The above verses begin with God declaring He will defend and save Jerusalem, for His Own sake and for His servant David (see 1 Kings 11:12-13; 36; Jer.23:5-6; Jer.30:9; Ezek.37:24). Historically, God sent the angel of the LORD to smite the camp of the king of Assyria when he came up against Jerusalem under Hezekiah, king over the "house of Judah". 
     Keep in mind that this historical king of Assyria is symbolic for Satan as the antichrist for the latter day tribulation time, and he will be setup in Jerusalem as king for a short, very short period of ("five
