Judgment of 3rd Part

Considering Revelation 8: THE JUDGMENT OF THE THIRD PART

In tribulation, God brings judgment on the WHOLE BODY which includes the THIRD PART prior to the separation. God it seems can focus death and destruction on the THIRD PART which we know from the rest of the Bible is the CHASTISEMENT of the elect coming into the Great Tribulation. It’s there that they are brought through the FIRE and are refined (Zec 13:9). Believers coming into the Tribulation had to be a real and frightful event. God was HIDING HIS FACE from the whole church body, including the elect. Then By His mercy and promise, He brings back their captivity as He opens the Bible and brings revelation to them today. Nothing can separate them from the love of Christ (Ro 8:35). This I believe is why they are able to understand the nature of today’s judgment on Babylon and the resurrection:

ESTABLISHED RATIO: THIRD PART = elect church body. TWO THIRDS = unsaved church body.

(As of now, I am not aware of a place in the Bible where God has revised this ratio and made it conditional based on context).

Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, TWO PARTS therein shall be cut off and die; but the THIRD shall be LEFT therein.

Zec 13:9 And I will bring the THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried : they shall CALL ON MY NAME, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Ac 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD shall be saved.

Zep 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, to serve him with one consent.

Re 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, HOW LONG O LORD, holy and true, dost thou not judge and AVENGE OUR BLOOD on them that dwell on the earth?

DESTRUCTION COMES ON THE WHOLE BODY IN TRIBULATION:

Eze 7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for WRATH is upon ALL THE MULTITUDE thereof.

Da 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall DESTROY <07843> the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Da 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall DESTROY <07843> wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall DESTROY <07843> the mighty and the holy people.

Re 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the THIRD PART of TREES was BURNT UP, and all GREEN GRASS was BURNT UP.

Isa 64:11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is BURNED UP with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

Ps 89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou HIDE THYSELF for ever? shall thy wrath BURN LIKE FIRE?

Ps 57:4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even AMONG them that are set ON FIRE, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their TONGUE a sharp SWORD .

De 31:17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will HIDE MY FACE from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our GOD is NOT AMONG US?

Eze 39:29 Neither will I HIDE MY FACE ANY MORE from them: for I have POURED OUT my SPIRIT upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Da 11:33 And they that UNDERSTAND among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall FALL by the sword, and by FLAME, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

Re 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the GRASS OF THE EARTH, neither any GREEN THING, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

(post tribulation – depart out. Before that the elect were being hurt)

Isa 15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is NO GREEN THING.

Joe 1:19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the FLAME hath BURNED all the TREES OF THE FIELD.

Eze 5:2 Thou shalt BURN with fire a THIRD PART in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a THIRD PART thou shalt SCATTER in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

Da 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to SCATTER the power of the HOLY PEOPLE, all these things shall be finished.

Eze 5:12 A THIRD PART of thee shall DIE with the pestilence, and with FAMINE shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a THIRD PART shall fall by the SWORD round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the WINDS, and I will draw out a sword after them.

Jer 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and SCATTER the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Jer 32:37 Behold, I will GATHER THEM out of all countries, whither I have DRIVEN THEM in MINE ANGER, and in my FURY, and in great WRATH; and I will bring them AGAIN unto this place, and I will cause them to DWELL SAFELY:

Mt 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER his elect from the FOUR WINDS, from one end of heaven to the other.

Re 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the SEA became BLOOD;

______________________________

Ps 79:3 Their BLOOD have they SHED like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

Re 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their DEAD BODIES to be PUT IN GRAVES.

((elect body does not experience salvation (COMING OUT OF TRIBULATION) as long as they are killed. Thus the need for the resurrection when they stand upon their feet – Re 11:11, Eze 37:10))

Re 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and HAD LIFE DIED, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Jer 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but DESTROY <07843> them.

Da 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall DESTROY <07843> wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall DESTROY <07843> the mighty and the HOLY PEOPLE.

Da 11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall FALL by the SWORD, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

Da 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall FALL, to TRY THEM, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the END: because it is yet for a time appointed.

(time of the END would have to relate to the DEPART OUT because it’s at that time, elect begin to receive revelation as God avenges their blood. Therefore they would no longer be considered to be in tribulation as God has shortened the days (Mt 24:22)

Ps 64:3-4 Who whet their TONGUE like a SWORD, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even BITTER WORDS: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Pr 12:18 There is that speaketh like the PIERCINGS OF A SWORD: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Eze 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye KILL THEM THAT ARE FED: but ye feed not the flock.

Re 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the THIRD PART of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the DAY SHONE NOT for a THIRD PART of it, and the night likewise.

____________________________

(The sun, moon and stars are symbolic of those dwelling in the churches. The THIRD PART of them experiencing darkness would relate to a partial darkening of the celestial bodies and appears to be the same as the two witnesses being killed).

Ps 143:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath SMITTEN MY LIFE down to the ground; he hath made me to DWELL IN DARKNESS, as those that have been long dead.

Jer 26:15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to DEATH <04191>, ye shall surely bring INNOCENT BLOOD upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.

Jer 2:34 Also in thy skirts is found the BLOOD of the souls of the POOR INNOCENTS: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

TRIBULATION: A partial darkness, judgment, chastisement of the Body prior to the separation, depart out (Salvation of the BODY)

Mt 24:7-8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in DIVERS PLACES. All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS.

Complete SORROW would then point to God’s judgment and destruction of the WHOLE BODY where there is no more room for repentance:

De 4:30 When thou art in TRIBULATION, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, IF THOU TURN TO THE LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

Re 2:21 And I gave her SPACE TO REPENT of her fornication; and she repented not.

Heb 6:6 If they shall FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto REPENTANCE; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Lu 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a GREAT GULF FIXED: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
