During the Day of Christ, each person on earth, great and small, will be gathered to await the King's decision. The persons who have received the Lord's brothers will be given an inheritance in the everlasting Kingdom of God. The persons who have ignored or harmed the Lord's representatives will be sent into the everlasting fires of judgment.

Woe be to anyone who hurts in any manner an individual who has become as a little child in order to enter the Kingdom of God!

Any person who gives a cup of cold water to a prophet, knowing he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward. But those who harm the Lord's witnesses, His elect, His brothers, will be judged severely.

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. (Matthew 10:40-42)

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (Matthew 18:6)

Every incident that has arisen throughout history concerning the treatment of the disciples of Jesus will be judged at the coming of the Lord. We have the assurance that God will reward every assistance and avenge every injustice that has taken place as His elect have faithfully borne witness of the Lord to the peoples of the earth.

The record is in Heaven. It is accurate and complete. There will be no mistakes when the transcripts are read in that Day.

It is our understanding that the peoples of the earth will assist the elect during the period of time in which Antichrist attempts to destroy the true Church of Christ—she who travailed in ministry until Christ was formed in the overcomers.

We can see this pattern in the life of Elijah. Jezebel, a strong type of Antichrist, was attempting to destroy the prophets of the Lord. Obadiah, a type of those who will assist the saints during the flood of persecution proceeding from the mouth of the serpent, was a man of wealth—the overseer of King Ahab's household.

Notice the symbolism in the following passage:

For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) (I Kings 18:4)

Obadiah was not one of the prophets whom Queen Jezebel was attempting to destroy with her "flood" of persecution. But Obadiah "feared the Lord greatly."

To be continued.
