At the end of the
Tribulation after all of Gods' judgements have
been dealt out to the inhabitants of the earth
Jesus and the Christians that He raptured before
the Tribulation are going to return: "And
Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints," (Jude 1:14)
"And
I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make
war." (Revelation 19:11)
"And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon
white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean." (Revelation 19:14)
Satan will be
bound for a thousand years:
"And
he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years," (Revelation 20:2)
Jesus will
establish His Kingdom on the earth for that
thousand years. He will raise all those from the
dead that received Him as their Savior during the
Tribulation and were killed for doing so. They,
and those that He raptured and brought back from
Heaven will rule with Him:
"Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years." (Revelation 20:6)
At the end of the
thousand years Satan will be freed for one more
battle:
"And
when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall
be loosed out of his prison," (Revelation
20:7)
Satan will be
defeated by the Lord and will be cast into a lake
of fire and brimstone forever, along with
everyone throughout eternity that never did
receive Jesus as their Savior and have their name
written in His "Book of
Life":
"And
the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet that wrought miracles before him, with
which he deceived them that had received the mark
of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone." (Revelation 19:20)
"And
the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day
and night for ever and ever." (Revelation
20:10)
"And
I saw the dead, small and great, stand before
God; and the books were opened: and another book
was opened, which is the book of life..."
(Revelation 20:12)
"And
whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire."
(Revelation 20:15)
After this takes
place God will renew heaven and earth and all
born again Christians will live there with Him
forever:
"And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea." (Revelation 21:1)
"And
I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and
be their God." (Revelation 21:3)
So you may be
wondering: Is there anything I can do now to keep
from suffering in the Tribulation, or worshipping
the Antichrist's image, or taking the mark of the
beast and going through all of Gods' wrath that
the world will endure? There is. Find out What
To Do...
