Judgment and the first Resurrection


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. 


So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 


Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel:  behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost:  we are cut off for our parts. 


Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 


And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,


And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land:  then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.  EZEKIEL 37:9,10,11,12,13,14


And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 


And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God : and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,


Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 


And I heard the number of them which were sealed:  and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.  REVELATION 7:1,2,3,4


The witness of the hundred and forty four thousand of the house of Israel will sustain a 'right hope of salvation' among the children of Israel in light of the gentile falling away leading into the appearing of Jesus Christ in the heavens.  The house of Israel will be judged in a manner that testifies to the Lord's resurrection and ascension.  The cross of Christ Jesus will beckon the whole house of Israel to deal with the issues of the holy covenant that the LORD made with them on mount Sinai.  Such 'dealings' God has with his firstborn nation, Israel, manifests, and will manifest, his controversy and quarrel of the covenant in his desire to bring Israel into the bond of the covenant.


The bond of the covenant will release the 'winds of the LORD' unto the first resurrection of the dead.  The remnant witness of the house of Israel will testify to the resurrection power of the LORD stewarded by the Holy Ghost as to bring the house of Israel into the bond of the covenant.


As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 


And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 


And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 


Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. 


And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:  EZEKIEL 20:33,34,35,36,37
