Chapter 49: The Final Rebellion And The
Last Judgment
Revelation 20:7-8 "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the Earth--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle." After the heavenly Sabbath is over Satan will be released to test those who have been born during the Millennium. As incredible as it seems, there will be billions of people who hate living under the peaceful rule of the Lord Jesus Christ. Satan will incite them to rebel against the Lord, and history and prophecy will repeat themselves. Satan will again gather people from all nations to Jerusalem to make war on the Lord Jesus Christ. The result will be the same as it was one thousand years earlier, they will all be destroyed by fire. Revelation 20:9-10 They marched across the breadth of the Earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the False Prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Satan will meet his final end in the lake of fire that was prepared for him and his angels. The Antichrist and the False Prophet have already been there being tormented for a thousand years and will remain there forever. The Last Judgment
Now that the final rebellion of Satan is over, the judgment of all mankind will occur. Those who were raised at the first resurrection have already received their rewards and will not be affected by this judgment. They will be judges and spectators at this event. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Revelation 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) Revelation 20:11-13 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Matthew 25:41 KJV Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: This will be the time for the judgment of the all of the wicked who have ever lived. The only people at this judgment who will join us in God's kingdom are those who were saved and died during the Millennium. The majority of the people being judged here will be destined for the lake of fire because all of the saints who lived during the first six thousand years of history were already raised from the dead at the first resurrection one thousand years earlier. Revelation 21:7-8 KJV He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. After the last judgment there will be no more death. everyone will have their new spiritual bodies. Revelation 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Hell is the temporary abode of the dead until the time of the last judgment. After that, both hell and those who are lost, will be cast into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the eternal prison for Satan, his angels, the demons, and all of those humans who have rejected God during their lifetimes. They will all be banished from the presence of the Lord forever. |
