world. After the war, all the people who are under the power of Satan will be taken and judged (Rev. 20:12). At that time, the 144,000 will receive the authority to judge them and the people will be divided into 144,000 places to be judged (Rev. 20:4).

After the final judgment, the people who will live in the kingdom of heaven or hell will be determined. There will be 144,000 kingdoms in heaven. Therefore people will live in one of the kingdoms of 144,000 kings. God promised Jesus Christ the authority to rule the kingdoms of heaven as his inheritance and Jesus promised the Overcomer the same authority (Ps. 2:8, Rev. 2:26). Therefore, the Overcomer will rule over the 144,000 kings of the nations.

The 144,000 kings will reign over their nations forever (Rev. 22:5) and be priests of God and of Christ (Rev. 20:6). In this world, the authority to worship God as a priest is separate from the authority to rule a nation as a king. But in the spiritual world, the two authorities are combined because God himself will rule his kingdom (Rev. 11:17). Until then, Jesus must reign the Heaven (1Cor. 15:25). Therefore, the 144,000 will have the authority to be priests as well

as kings.

In fact, they killed him, and in doing so they stumbled on the rock as prophesied in the Bible (Rom. 9:33).

Did the Pharisees and Priests fail to recognize the Son of God because they did not know the Bible well enough? No, they knew the Bible perfectly well, but God did not clearly show his plan for the war against Satan. He could not, because it was the top secret for the war. Jesus taught about the spiritual world with parables. When his disciples asked him, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” he replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them” (Matt. 13:10-11).

When the Israelites worshiped idols and committed sin, God was so infuriated that he prophesied through Isaiah, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will
