1 Samuel 2:6-7 KJVS
The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. [7] The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
One of the swords that will be used is Satan’s deception during the five-month long hour of temptation.
At the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, God will allow Satan’s appearance as the Antichrist to prove His children. This is the sword of the last king of Babylon.
Ezekiel 21:9-11 KJVS
“Son of man, prophesy, and say, thus saith the Lord; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: [10] It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. [11] And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.”
Who will be killed in this spiritual slaughter? One group of servants that we know will die a spiritual death is the 144,000, which are the church of Smyrna.
They will die spiritually along with the rest of the third who are Christians when the sword of the slayer comes upon the world at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet.
(Jeremiah Chapter 27:6)
This sword upon most of the world will come when Satan appears as the antichrist. The appearance of Satan as the false Christ will heal Deadly Headwound to the political beast in the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation, thus turning it into a religious beast.
Revelation 13:10 KJVS
“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
Yes, this sword is given in the hand of Satan from God when Satan’s appearance of the false prophet takes many including the 144,000 at the sixth trumpet into his deception. In Ezekiel Chapter 44 verse 12, our Lord says that the Levites, which represent the 144,000 in these end times will cause the house of Israel to fall in iniquity. Perhaps the 144,000 will have their part in leading most Christians into Satan’s captivity going into the sixth trumpet. Only time will tell, however they will also stumble and become captives to Satan’s deception.
Their fall perhaps, will be due to pride and we know according to our Heavenly Father’s word, self-pride can be very damaging.
However, God will allow Satan to spiritually kill, but only He who is our Heavenly Father, can and will make many alive.
Let’s look at the church of Smyrna (144,000), but first we must keep in mind, the time frame of these letters to the churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, are after the church of Philadelphia (232 final remnant) are delivered up for a testimony in front of the antichrist and the Latter Rain of truth pours out from their testimony.
Revelation 2:8 KJVS
“And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write, these things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;”
Which was dead and is alive.
Jesus describes this church, and the rest of the six churches of Revelation Chapter 2 and 3, as part of His Body (see 1st Corinthians Chapter 12 verses 27 through 31).
Jesus was dead by being crucified and was made alive by being resurrected, having no fault whatsoever. However, Smyrna being part of His Body will die a spiritual death at the sixth trumpet and will come alive spiritually once again. The 144,000 on the other hand will repent and have no fault however they will bear their iniquity.
Yes, God will kill, and He will use Satan to do it, however He will make alive as you can see in Ezekiel Chapter 37 when speaking of the dry bones.
Ezekiel 37:9-10 KJVS
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God ; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. [10] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.”
The 144,000 and many others from the other five churches of Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, such as Ephesus, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, and Laodicea, who repent, will come back to spiritual life after the Latter Rain of truth falls upon them.
Moving on with Hannahs prayer in 1st Samuel Chapter 2.
1 Samuel 2:7-10 KJVS
“The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. “
Many will think they are rich physically and spiritually at the Sixth Trumpet.
For this, let’s look at the church of the Laodiceans.
Revelation 3:14-17 KJVS
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
Many who will not hearken to the Latter Rain of truth during the space of repentance that will transpire before the seventh trumpet sounds, will remain spiritually wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.
The wretched, miserable, poor and blind will be found spiritually naked and with child which means Satan’s deception when the true Christ returns at the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet. (Luke Chapter 23:29)
Again, God through this sword of testing will cause them to become poor. This must come to pass because some will have to be brought low, in order to be raised up.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 KJVS
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
On the other hand, Gods’ Truth through His Servants are the true riches, will you know the difference?
You can see in the letter to the church of the Laodiceans, our Heavenly Father counsels them to buy true riches from His loyal servants.
Revelation 3:18 KJVS
“I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.”
We can also find this gold that is tried in fire also written about in 1st Corinthians Chapter 3 verses 10 through 15. Check it out.
Unfortunately, many will remain poor and naked, up to the return of the true Christ.
Let’s go back to the Church of Smyrna which are the 144,000.
Revelation 2:9-10 KJVS
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [10] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
Once the 144,000 awaken out of Satan’s deception and repent they will understand were their true wealth lies. The seeds of truth that will have been planted in them before the hour of temptation begins, will spring forth from the Latter Rain of testimony during that space of repentance, and it spring forth into an immeasurable treasure.
Continuing in Hannah’s Prayer.
1 Samuel 2:8 KJVS
“He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.”
Oh, that’s rich!
The poor that will be raised out of the dust during the sixth trumpet will be the 144,000, and also whomsoever with freewill out of most if not all of the five churches spoken about in Revelation Chapter’s 2 and 3. They will all raise up after they repent and will take part, with the church of Philadelphia and the rest of the 7000 Zadok who return with Christ, in the first resurrection at the seventh trumpet.
Daniel Chapter 12 also talks about this awakening.
Daniel 12:2 KJVS
“And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
However, those who will be brought to shame, upon the true Christ return will be the ones who will have failed to awaken and take part in the first resurrection, and those who will receive everlasting contempt will be the ones who will fail to take part in the second resurrection at the end of the Lords Day, to go into eternity.
The 144,000 and many others are the ones who will awaken to everlasting life. These are the poor that will be raised out of the dust, also the beggars who will be removed from the dunghill, which is Satan’s filth.
As Hannahs prayer says, “to be set among princes”. We see this setting here in Revelation Chapter 20.
Let’s look.
Revelation 20:4-6 KJVS
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
The Church of Philadelphia ,232 final remnant, with the rest of the 7000 Zadok that return with Christ, will live and reign with Christ 1000 years and will be able to approach His throne (Eziekiel Chapter 44 Verses 15 through 31). On the other hand, the 144,000 and those with freewill who will come out of Babylon from that dunghill to take part of the first resurrection, will also live with Christ, however will be unable to approach Him until the 1000 years are finished, but they will reign with Him having charge at the millennial gates being part of the Levitical priesthood (1st Peter Chapter 5 :13). Perhaps not being able to approach Christ throughout the Millenium is bearing their shame and iniquity but fulfilling their service throughout the 1000 years. All will be elected together in service thus making up the millennial priesthood.
1 Samuel 2:9 KJVS
“He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.”
Our Lord and Savior will keep the feat of these saints while the wicked which is Satan will be silent in the pit for 1000 years during the Millennium.
Revelation 20:1-3 KJVS
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
Those who remain naked, wretched and ashamed (spiritually dead) will be sent into Outer Darkness on the Lords Day, which is the Woe of the seventh trumpet so, they can absorb Christ millennial teachings. If they absorb Christs millennial discipline, they will be able to make a stand against Satan when he is released after the 1000 years. Those who then overcome, will join the rest of the Body of Christ to also live, and rejoice in His Salvation for all eternity.
1 Samuel 2:10 KJVS
“The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
The ultimate plan of Salvation will be successful, as our Enemies will be no more after that day, when we go back to eternity.
Again, the Horn which is Christ is, and will be exalted, especially in His servants.
Again, let’s look at what Zacharias said when he was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:68-71 KJVS
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, [69] And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; [70] As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: [71] That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;”
And now, let’s go back earlier in Hannah’s Prayer
1 Samuel 2:1 KJVS
“And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord : my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.”
From His mouth to their mouths, He will use those whom He chooses to Thunder upon (Revelation Chapter 10) and destroy His enemies, which are also His children’s enemies.
All things must come to pass to bring upon Salvation, so all can have a chance to rejoice in it, everyone in His time.
This is what I understand, of the Prayer of Hannah.
The End.
