"We thank You, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and begun ruling as King. But the nations became wrathful, and Your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to Your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing Your Name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth."  (Rev 11:17,18).

PAST EVENTS THAT PREFIGURE THEIR FULFILMENT IN THE TIME OF THE END.
"'Go through the city, through Jerusalem,' said the Lord, 'and put a mark on the foreheads of those who groan and lament over the abominations practised there.' Then I heard him say to the others, 'Follow him through the city and kill without pity; spare no one. Kill and destroy them all, old men and young, girls, little children and women, but touch no one who bears the mark. Begin at My sanctuary.' So they began with the elders in front of the temple. 'Defile the temple,' He said, 'and fill the courts with dead bodies;  then go out into the city and kill.'"  (Ezek 9:4-7 NEB).

Jehovah has ordered His anointed sons to put a saving "mark" upon all those groaning and lamenting over the detestable things being practised in the spiritual "land" of God today. Jehovah has instructed His angels to find and destroy those found guilty of these abominations     "old men and young, girls, little children and women" and to begin at His sanctuary. His angels will begin with the apostate "elders in front of the temple" and will "fill the courts with dead bodies."  The Opened "Little Scroll" will be used as the basis for Judgement. Angels of God will soon begin their slaying work among apostate worshippers in every nation, demolishing the "timbers and stones" of all their "houses".  (Zech 5:1-4).

"TO BRING TO RUIN THOSE RUINING THE EARTH."
The ruination of enemies of God during the "third woe" and Rule of God, will bring to an end all world rulers of this "darkness" and the wicked spirit forces that inspire them. (Rev 11:14-18.  Eph 6:12).  Everyone living outside the spiritual "courtyard" of God are "ruining the earth" with their evil activities and their worship of demon false gods. None of them are blessed by God.  They are all under His curse.  (Zech 5:1-4).

Those who "groan and lament" over the detestable things being practised in spiritual "Jerusalem" are in one of two "flocks". They are either of the 144,000 Spirit anointed members of the "body" of Christ who shall reign with him from heaven, or are of the numberless "great crowd" of worshippers who shall continue on earth until they too are resurrected to everlasting heavenly life.  (Rev 7:1-10)  (1 Cor 12:12,13).

In Indonesia, those who defiled the house of God by worshipping images representing demon false gods were slain by a tsunami from God. There were no innocent ones with a saving "mark" among them. Tourists who died there shared in the retribution of God for having attended a place where 95% of the indigenous population worship false gods.  (See Rev 18:4-8).

We are living during a time in which Babylon/Iraq is being "remembered" in the sight of God for the demon worship being practised there, but which originated in ancient Babylon.  The desolation of Babylon/Iraq will soon be complete.  (Rev 16:19).

While Almighty God could have created many more human beings, His Will is to bring into spirit subjection new creations from among mankind. (Gal 6:15,16.  2 Cor 5:17). Through the spirit subjecting work of His Son The Christ Michael, Almighty God is creating new heavens and a new earth: "For here I  am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart."  (Isaiah 65:17).  This means new spirit creations.
