worried. So the devil in our world, who is called the great prostitute, tries to prohibit us from becoming members of the army in heaven (Rev. 17:1). Therefore the evil, called the great prostitute, is fighting against us now (Rev. 17:6), but the beast will fight against the Lamb in the spiritual world in the future.

The first war between God and Satan was in the Old Testament era and the second war, where God and Satan are fighting to take the souls of human beings, has been going on during the New Testament era. The third war will be between the Lamb and the beast in the spiritual world. I have been preaching the three steps of war for more than twenty years.

Because they will be trained so rigorously, the beast will not able to overpower them.

If you are eligible to be dressed in fine linen and enter the Most Holy Place in heaven, evil spirits cannot touch you. Therefore, angels will come to bring you to heaven and you will stay with other souls in the Most Holy Place.

As stated in Revelations, the number of the army has already been decided. As there were twelve tribes in Israel, there will be twelve tribes consisting of 12,000 for each in
