Chapter 17
Seeing The End
By Ernie Knoll
In my dream, I am sitting in the classroom. The Guide angel draws my attention to the calendar he shows with his left hand and says: “Today we start another new message. It is a review of a message that is necessary for this time. As with this message you continue to prepare called ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered,’ it is important to review of that time you were shown of what will happen. It is now time for that event to happen. It is because of all the signs which have been presented. It is a time when those who know, those who were told to get ready, is of the time they will be sealed. All are to review the message you were given on August 28, 2010. You named it ‘The End.’ Even though that was fifteen years ago as observed on your calendar, it was just yesterday.”
The Announcing angel blows his horn, and suddenly before me I see Perceivous stand in front of the classroom. She tells me that as we review this dream, it should also be understood that all of the ones we observe and consider of the great number, she was created to be with each and every one when they took their first breath. She says she was also there when each took their last breath. She observed each one personally given an opportunity to make the right decision and that now we are to look at many who failed to choose the right decision. As this message is reviewed, each should contemplate how each is being sealed and should ask where they stand. Will they stand on the wall watching Jesus when He calls for the destruction of all sin and sinners? Or will they be the ones who stand and look up as they are forever destroyed? It is not a punishment. It is because they would not be happy in heaven.
The Announcing angel blows his horn again, and the Herald now stands in front of the classroom. He says that as all review this message, it is important to contemplate what the angel was told to deliver. It was considered important, but now it is even more important. After reviewing this message, each should truly ask in their heart, if they will be found worthy and be sealed with the new name God places on their forehead. Or will they simply be marked to be destroyed? Each will have been placed on the scales. How will you be weighed?
Now the Herald points to the far-right side of the classroom, and the wall seems to move out and greatly enlarge. My chair rotates to look to the right. I now watch as a very large sheet of water forms and becomes like a sheet of glass. The water falls into a large waterfall, except it is flat and very quiet.
The Herald says that from August 28, 2010 this is the end! As I am looking at the waterfall, I see large letters, except the letters look like each letter is a flame. I see the Words, “The End.” The letters are large, and each has a distinct appearance of being on fire, and it continues to burn.
Then I see the words slowly rising up from the bottom of the waterfall. I stop to think it does not come down the waterfall but it goes up. I realize this message is being brought up again. It is to prepare a people. The words are each a very bright red, as if to further state of a big warning. I sit back and read this dream again.
The End
August 28, 2010
In my dream, I am standing in a grove of redwood trees. The size of these trees is amazing. As I look up, it is inspiring to see their lofty height. Surveying the base of the trees, I am impressed at their enormous well-planted foothold. I am thinking how true Christians are like redwood trees. They stand tall for Jesus and have a well-planted foothold for His truth. They search the sky for that promise of Him who planted them.
My thoughts are now interrupted by a familiar voice. I turn around to see the Herald has been standing behind me. He states that the heavenly Father is the Awesome Creator and the Grand Arborist. Calling me by the name I only remember in my dreams, the Herald says he has been sent to show me something. He asks if I would go with him. I extend my right hand, and as he holds it tightly, he explains that we will continue as before and that a scene must still play out because it is not finished yet.
The Herald and I are now in the air about five miles up. He calls my attention to the east. I see what can only be described as a heavenly body that moves slowly away from the earth. I realize it is all the heavenly angels and the redeemed with Christ on their way to heaven. My heart begins to pound as I realize what I see and what it means. I so want to be with Jesus as He is leaving. I squeeze the Herald’s hand and look at him with tears running down my face. He turns and explains, “It is by His command that I stand here with you. With His permission I wipe the tears from your face, as He is the only One who reserves to show such love. Know that this is a dream, and you are to serve as a messenger. Notice what you are shown and report accurately. As you were told, if you remain faithful in serving the Great Creator, who is our Master and your Saviour, you will be with Him as He leaves for the Great Celestial City. You are now to hold to your faith. Few were they who went on the ark. Few are they who hear the quiet voice of the Great Comforter. Few are they who make up the remnant.”
As the Herald firmly holds my right hand, he extends his right hand to show me the scene to the west and below me. I turn in shock towards the Herald as if wanting him to shield me from the horror I see for the first time. The sight leaves an empty feeling unlike anything I have experienced. Placing his right hand under my chin, the Herald looks in my eyes and says, “You need to hold strongly to your faith. Describe what you see the best you are able to, as you have been called to serve as a messenger.”
I turn and look to the west once again. The scene before me depicts the time after the seven last plagues are poured out and the start of the one thousand years that Satan is chained to this worthless pit. It is also the beginning of the time the special saints will spend one thousand years reviewing every life of those on the earth who made their decision to follow Satan. It is the time that God is vindicated before the entire universe as to the validity of His laws, and it is shown that He is just and the Most Perfect of all Perfection.
As far as my eyes can see, before me is a view of desolation beyond which any human mind can conceive. God had instructed the four angels to release the four angry winds of utter destruction. I see what looks like large plates of the earth’s surface that were ripped from their foundation, then twisted and crumbled in many places and jammed back into the ground at an angle. Tall majestic mountains, where climbers aspired to reach their lofty heights, were pulled from the ground and cast into the depths of the oceans. The remains of large cities appear as if mixed with the soil of the earth. The once tall skyscrapers, made to be monuments to the greatness of man, were smashed to the ground as if simple sand castles. Entire cities were demolished and nothing was left unturned. Not one landmark is recognizable. Not one building is left standing; all is rubble. The vast oceans are now gone, and there is no way to differentiate west from east or north from south.
I have been made to understand that just as God spoke and all life came into existence, He will speak and every living creature will no longer exist. The largest animals that live in water will cease their existence. Every fish, every bird, everything that crawled on or below the earth, every kind of animal will no longer exist. Just as the Almighty Words spoke the creatures into existence, they will be spoken out of existence. The heavenly Father will save only who He sent His Son to save. Those who will be saved, He will claim as His own and leave the earth with them for one thousand years. Satan will have no one to tempt. He and his retinue of angels will remain on this earth during the millennium. The redeemed will have a Sabbath rest in heaven from the evils of Satan for one thousand years. The universe will be cleansed from the tempting ones jailed on the earth.
I now notice I do not hear anything. The Great Creator even spoke sound out of existence. There is no longer the rush of wind, the chirp of a cricket, the musical notes of a songbird, the mooing of a cow, or the galloping of a horse.
As I watch the earth slowly turn, there are no animals, not even an insect. However, I do see men, women and children scattered on the face of the earth, those who had been created in God’s image but chose to follow the words of the great deceiver rather than God’s words. They will not stand at Christ’s Second Coming, because they did not make a stand for Him who gave all. They had held Satan’s hand and received their direction from him. Now they lay for a thousand years before the King of All Kings pronounces their judgment of eternal death. Some of the scattered are those who were raised, including those who beat, cursed, spat upon, nailed and mocked the Son of God. Some are those who lived to witness the Second Coming.
Surveying the scene in front of me, I am surprised by the lack of color in the sky. It no longer has that hue of blue or those beautiful white clouds. My mind instantly recalls how my attending angel had once explained that the blue of the sky represents His love and His law, and the white clouds represent His righteousness and protection. Without these, all earthly life would cease to exist. That beautiful blue in the sky is now gone; not even a cloud can be seen. The earth no longer holds those who are deserving of His righteousness. The day of repentance, of asking in faith for forgiveness is no more. The day of reforming is over. The day when one could approach the Great and Wonderful Throne of Mercy is finished. Color has been removed from everything. The beautiful hues and the myriads of God’s creation in plant life is no more. The luscious green grass, the flowers of a myriad colors, and the blue waters are all gone—all that which the Great Creator had spoken into existence. Color no longer exists. There is no black or white. Even gray has no color. Color is dead.
I notice that odors do not exist. There is no fragrance that used to float on a breeze. No longer is there the aroma of grass, trees, or the sweet wildflowers. Not even the pungent smell of a horse pasture exists or the freshness of a salty ocean. The air I smell is very stale. All odors are dead.
All I see now is death. Animal life, color, sound, and odors are gone. The Creator had removed all life forms which He created six thousand years before, from the largest creatures in the water to the smallest microbial organisms. Without the God-given organisms, all of those from many generations will continue to lie where they are and for one thousand years will not rot.
It is as if Jesus will say to Satan, “You are the owner of this earth. You purchased this planet through your deception with my first creations—Adam and Eve. Since you hold the keys to this earth and you lay claim to it, this earth is yours. However, you will not have the other things that I created. You will not have the blue sky or white clouds for shade. You will not have the wind or the seasons. You will not have the birds of the air, the animals that walk or crawl or the fish and other animals that live in the water. You will not have those minute creations that are beyond the sight of normal eyes. You will not have the multicolored plants or the variety of aromas. You will not have the vast oceans. I will save for you the sun and the moon in the sky, and although they will be darkened, they will illuminate enough for you to look upon how you have ruled for six thousand years. The angels I created who followed you will also see their handiwork of following your direction. Now you may walk over and rule what is yours for one thousand years. When the thousand years are up, I will return to destroy that which you hold claim to and I will rule as King of the universe as well as the new earth.” I am now made to know that during the millennium, Satan will look upon those he deceived who now lay on the ground. He is no longer able to tempt them.
I now turn to the Herald and he looks at me with eyes of compassion and states, “You have a Savior whose love you have described as the love of the love of the love.” He places his right hand on my shoulder and says, “One thousand years is now past. Look up.” I look up to see my beautiful Jesus with a retinue of angels and those from earth who decided to follow Him. I now watch as He is in front of all and is descending. The sound of His voice breaks the death of sound and can be heard around the earth and throughout its core. Jesus now instructs those who lay strewn upon the ground and in the deepest recesses of the earth to rise and stand. It is a people who cannot be numbered and who stand as they were the day they were laid to rest from the torments of their life. They do not stand like the righteous who came forth when Jesus called them at His Second Coming, clothed in eternal immortality with every sinful physical attribute removed. No, these stand with the stains of sin written into their being.
The Herald next shows me an innumerable group of men and women that begins to form and stand together. It is as if the Great Judge has caused them to band together to receive their judgment. I notice this group stand as they did when they were laid to rest. Many have the obvious results of open sin brought on by immoral practices. I am made to know that their lifestyle was allowed because so many stated it was politically correct. The Herald breaks his silence and says, “Six thousand years ago the universe watched as the Creator reached into the soil and formed from the dirt of the earth a perfect man created in His image. He then decided it would be good for this man to have a helpmate, someone he could enjoy, talk and fellowship with, and someone who would be his equal. The Creator caused this man to sleep, and from this man He created a woman in His image. He created them as male and female. Nowhere in the universe is there male or female except on the earth. The Creator sanctified their union as husband and wife and pronounced them as married. Notice this was the second institution that the Great Founder created. The first institution is the seventh-day Sabbath. The Creator then commanded that these two in their marital union, through the holy institution of marriage, be fruitful and multiply. They were to populate the earth. They were not created with a genetic makeup of a man and a man or a woman and a woman to live in this holy union or to have a sexual relationship. The Great Founder created a perfect union between a man and a woman, between a husband and a wife in the sanctity He called marriage. He never created a genetic makeup that results in a life of homosexuality. Those who have chosen this path have not chosen it because of an inherited trait or a genetic disorder. It is not anything that is connected with the Creator’s grand design. Those who live this style of life live it because of what they have chosen. It is not through what was created. Those in a position of counsel who did not assist in correcting those who lived that lifestyle, those that endorsed it and spoke smooth, soft things will give an account to the Great Judge.”
My eyes now scan over those who performed this sin of trampling on God’s holy institution of marriage. Man is standing with man and woman with woman, because they chose to sin rather than follow the marriage lifestyle that God instituted in the Garden of Eden. It is made clear to me that they will stand to receive their reward for trampling on one of God’s institutions and for breaking His holy law, which brings them the reward of eternal death. They each acknowledge it was a choice and that they have sinned.
The Herald calls me by my heavenly name and says, “Continue to review and report those who you see standing in this second resurrection.” As I look upon the surface of the world, I have an overwhelming realization how the majority of those who lived upon the earth have followed Satan. Yet the Great Creator knew each one personally. As my eyes scan over this vast multitude, I understand they include those from the beginning until that time when Jesus arrived to call forth from the earth every righteous saint who ascended with Him at His Second Coming. The multitude also includes giants from before the great Flood. I see so many who excelled in world leadership, yet not to the glory of the Great Leader, but to their own devising and greed. Now at Christ’s third and final coming every unrighteous being upon the earth stands and looks upon the face of their Creator.
I now see individuals who I am very surprised to see standing to receive eternal death. They have served in a high position in God’s last remnant church and many followed them in their system of belief. There are others who sat as infiltrators to deceive and lead away God’s chosen people. Many had spoken truth and error, including those in the leadership of God’s remnant church. It was through their service to the great deceiver they now stand looking up at Jesus coming as He said He would the third time. Many ignored, chastised and condemned God’s prophets and messengers, and they now stand with those they led astray. Those who had been given an opportunity to pray and study to know the truth themselves instead allowed their elders, pastors and conference officials to lead them astray. Now they stand seeing Jesus return not to welcome them to eternal life but to give their just reward of eternal death.
I am now in shock as I see personal family members who had been given the truth, but because pride entered in and they did not humble themselves, they lied and condemned the messages I have been given from God. It must be asked: When does Satan invite people to repent and reform, to fervently pray, read and study the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy? When does Satan lead many to give their hearts and lives over to Jesus and claim Him as their Savior? Now instead of receiving a crown of life, these family members receive a condemnation sentence of eternal death. My heart aches because they will be held accountable for leading others astray. Yet I know this is a dream, and I know I will never see them again unless they repent before it is forever too late.
I see those who once walked so closely to God while serving as pastors, elders and very close friends, but then turned away from God. They were given the opportunity to repent and cast their sins at the feet of Jesus. They now stand as Jesus casts at their feet His decree of death. I have no words to describe the looks on the faces of my own family, friends, elders and pastors. They believed they lived a life of a true Christian, many as Seventh-day Adventist Christians. They stand in shock and expect to meet Jesus in the air. Now they are as those who Christ says “I know you not.” Many cry out about all the good deeds and miracles they performed, how they spoke in the name of Jesus. They now stand unable to move, but just wait to receive their punishment.
As I see Jesus Christ descend from heaven, he is surrounded by His angels and His redeemed, including those who did not take the mark of the beast. The faithful who were chastised, starved, tortured or died in His name now stand with Him. Every eye now looks upon the Great Redeemer.
The Herald now instructs me to look where he is pointing. I see Jesus as He now slows down and His bare feet touch the Mount of Olives from where He left two thousand years ago. It is as if the mountain obeys His touch as it renders its loftiness to a smooth flat plain. The Herald says to look up once again. The Great Celestial City is slowly descending. Beneath it is what looks like layers upon layers of clouds. Over the Great City are what appear to be many layers of clear domes, which produce the most visually stunning rainbow. These layers do not reflect the sun but rather the mighty presence of the heavenly Father who sits on His glorious throne. The Great Holy City shines with a power that makes the sun appear as a small dark circle in the sky. The Holy City now lands on the enormous plain that Jesus prepared for it.
Everyone now looks up high, far above the Holy City to see the event that no being can deny. Even those without eyes can perfectly see it. They are looking at a throne of indescribable beauty. It appears to be of a gold that radiates perfect energy. Upon this throne sits the Son of God, who is the Sun of Righteousness. On each side of Him are attending angels. A most noble angel, who I know to be Gabriel, lovingly places a crown of holy perfection upon the head of Jesus. He is crowning Jesus as the King of the Universe. Everyone throughout the universe observes this scene. Satan observes what he could be doing in that position if he had remained obedient to God. I smile as I look up to the Herald. He looks at me and says, “To serve as a heavenly messenger is a position of continual service in all humility.” After Jesus receives His crown, He is acknowledged by all living creations throughout the universe as the King of Kings.
Jesus now stands up. To His right is a large book. He breaks its seal and the book is opened. All the unrighteous stand looking at the face of King Jesus and instantly have brought to their mind every sin they have committed.
I notice a depiction above the throne of the empty cross that Jesus died on for everyone who would accept Him. Below the cross is a recording of the life of Christ from His unwelcome birth through His baptism and ministry, from His trial and torture, His crucifixion and death, to His resurrection and ascending from the Mount of Olives. All eyes are fixed on the scenes before them. Every evil angel and Satan himself is made to see what they have caused by their rebellion.
All stand now for their reward to be meted out in justice and mercy by the One who sits as the King of Kings—the One who looks into the hearts of each with those eyes of such love. He is the One who is entitled to this right. The sins of those who followed the instructions of certain leaders are passed on to those leaders whose sins are passed on to other leaders. All sins are finally passed to Satan.
Jesus now raises His hand and with the power granted through the Father, fire comes down from heaven and the earth begins to be consumed. I hear the cries of those in the Holy City as they see family members, friends, and loved ones in pain, and they plead for Christ to shorten their agony. Others look down upon those who mocked, tortured and killed them, and they plead for mercy upon them as they are now dying. The righteous know that those who are consumed would not have been happy in heaven. God in His infinite love and mercy knows they would not have been happy. Those who were unfaithful in God’s holy remnant church now burn for days. Those who have little sin are consumed quickly. Some go instantly. It is all according to their deeds. The bodies are consumed first then the sinful nature or character of the person is consumed last. Satan and his angels burn the longest, but Satan is the last to be consumed. The fire is of the most intense pure thermal heat so that it can destroy the evilness of all, especially Satan. After he is destroyed, the cleansing flames continue to burn the earth until nothing is left, except the ground the Holy City rests on. The flames consume the first heaven until every trace of sin is removed from the universe. The only reminders left of sin will be the scars in the wounded head, hands, feet, and side of Jesus for all eternity.
I now watch as Jesus raises His lovely hand and commands that there be a new heaven and a new earth because the former were destroyed in the cleansing fire. Now the redeemed saints, the heavenly angels, and the entire universe proclaim in one voice the holiness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and praise the King of Kings who is the Love of the Love of the Love.
