Soon, an unholy alliance consisting of the axis of evil, Russia-China-Islam/Iran, will come against Jerusalem, Israel and initiate a limited nuclear war as the Apostle John received this vision-prophecy from Jesus our Messiah on the Island of Patmos in 90AD (The Revelation of Jesus Christ)…the “Great Tribulation Era.” (Zechariah 14:12) The United States via Democrat-Progressive ungodly policies will have been relegated to a third-world status politically, militarily, monetarily thereby being impotent to intercede in the violent antisemitism to come against Jerusalem and Israel’s children.
Many mistakenly believe this to be “the end” but this is simply “the beginning” of Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom where Elohim’s eschatological objectives will take a very interesting turn; this, for the sake of the faithful angelic creation and Elohim’s intimate relationship with them; this, as Satan is bound for 1000-years and peace reigns paramount in Satan’s absence (Revelation 20-22).
It is not until the conclusion of Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, the release of Satan and the final great deception, the Great White Throne Judgment, that “the end,” as fallen humanity knows it, will manifest as this Earth and the Heavens will be consumed by heat and fire (2 Peter 3:10), this Earth will be remolded and reshaped and restructured, purified, and made ready for the “New Jerusalem” (Revelation 21-22). This is “the end” of Time as we know it.
2 Peter 3: The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up… the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Why the Millennial Kingdom? Why 1000-years of World-peace?
The short version is this: the previous 6000-years of horror, war, famine, murder, perversion, discord, hate, all stand as an example to the faithful angelic creation, those that did not follow Satan in the rebellion, and as an example for the faithful in Jesus who will spend eternity with Him in the New Jerusalem, the consequences of disregarding the divine moral law and the divine will of our Creator concerning Messiah and this previous 6000-years of Hell on Earth will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will exists by necessity in the New Jerusalem. The Millennial Kingdom’s purpose extends far beyond the temporary Realm of Time and humanity and Elohim’s divine, intimate, relationship with His faithful angelic creation is at the eschatological root as Elohim restores holiness and peace to His eternal Kingdom disrupted by Satan’s coup d’état…that coup d’état as the root cause for the Genesis creation narrative.
The 1000-years of prevailing peace upon the Earth; this, while Satan is restrained and made impotent; this, during Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, will provide a stark, undeniable, comparison/contrast to the previous 6000-years of sinful-suffering Hell on Earth; again, providing proof to the faithful angels and observant humanity that Satan is the demonic root of all horror (John 8:44) and it’s important to note that Jesus entered the temporary Realm of Time specifically “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy (Genesis 3:15) revealed as the Gospel first in Genesis 3:21 and through Jesus’ victory over Satan’s works (death-Hell-the grave) at Golgotha via the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28); this divine victory via the Gospel was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).
The 1000-years of pervasive peace during the Millennial Kingdom will provide an undeniable stark comparison/contrast relevant to obedience=peace/disobedience=suffering and to add a final evidentiary proof to all living creatures that Satan is the demonic author of all wickedness, Satan will be released from captivity at the culmination of the Millennial Kingdom and once again Satan will deceive the Nations and inspire mankind to rebel against Elohim (Revelation 20:7-9); this time, Elohim will destroy the aggressors by fire; hence, the “Judgment of the Condemned” that follows the final rebellion (Revelation 20:10-15) where Sheol-Hades/Torments will give up the dead via the “resurrection of the condemned” (John 5:29) and those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will suffer commensurate with their sin committed while in body and ultimately die the “second death” in Hell, the Lake of Fire as the Earth is purified by unconscionable heat (2 Peter 3:10), purified, from which a New Earth and New Heaven will manifest (Revelation 21).
Ultimately, finally, the entirety of the faithful angelic creation will concur with Elohim that their former “boss,” Satan, does indeed deserve suffering-torment forever in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10; Matthew 25:41); hence, Elohim will have destroyed evil and restored holiness to His eternal Kingdom via His own selfless love as demonstrated at Golgotha via Messiah (John 19:30).
