Reign a thousand years
Now the Bride(New Jerusalem) is ready, the heavenly kingdom has finished establishing, Jesus Christ and 144000 saints will reign a thousand years. Revelation 5:10 “and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth”. But before the reign of the heavenly kingdom, what will happen to the ancient serpent(the devil and Satan)?
Satan and Bottomless Pit
After “Babylon the great”-“Mother of Prostitute” has destroyed, Jesus and his angels will come back with glory and power. And then the beast 666 and the false prophet will be captured and thrown into the lake of fire(the complete destruction). Then Revelation chapter 20 says, …
1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.
2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
So after the beast has captured, then next one will be the Serpent the Devil and Satan. An angel holding a great chain bond the dragon, throw it into the bottomless pit and shut it a thousand years. He will not deceive the nations any more until the end of thousand years, after that he will be released for a little while. When the Red Dragon be thrown it into the bottomless pit, it will be sealed that he can’t come out.
The first Resurrection
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They(144000 saints) came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53 “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet(maybe 7th trumpet of Revelation). For the trumpet will sound, and the dead(144000 saints) will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality”.
So that’s clear to tell us : Before the dragon throw into bottomless pit, most of 144000 saints in the death have been resurrected(came to life). But maybe the rest of saints(not much) will have a different experience. What experience? When Jesus come, they are the rest of saints who have sealed and still alive…
Matthew 24:30,31 “Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect(the rest of saints) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”.
Matthew 24:40-41, “Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left”.
So the one(be taken) will join Jesus Christ and other saints. And most of saints have already resurrected, they will form the total 144000 and reign with Jesus for a thousand years.
Revelation 14:1 “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads”.
5 The rest of the dead(all people other than saints) did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection(the first resurrection is the 144000 saints).
6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
Angel announced clearly about the rest of dead, who is other than 144000 saints but will also be resurrected. But it will happen at the end of thousand years and after the dragon thrown into the lake of fire. So the resurrection of other dead won’t be happened at the beginning of the thousand years.
Probably after the great tribulation all the survivors including “a great multitude” should be alive or live for a thousand years. All the survivors and their generations will live and rebuild the earth under the reign of Christ and 144000 saints. After that, when…
7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison
8 and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
9 And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city(New Jerusalem), but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,
10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Amen.
Judgement of dead – Good and Evil
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it(Father YHWH God) . From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
John 5:28,29 Jesus said, “Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.”.
May all people are being the good man, then they will award the resurrection of life. Amen.
13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
There is a interesting question : Why Jehovah God do not throw the Devil into the lake of fire before the thousand years but after that?
God doesn’t tell us the reason, but probably it’s related to the challenge of Satan surely. It’s related to the heaven that we can’t see, just same as Job 1:6,8-10…
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
8 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”
9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason?
10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
When Satan challenged Job, no one knew the answer, Jehovah God allowed Satan took action to prove what he said. The same, maybe Satan ask a new challenge of the heavenly kingdom. What will he say? Maybe he ask a question similar this : Why do you say my reign is corrupt and terrible? How do I know if the heavenly kingdom is also like this or maybe worse than my reign?
Maybe that is the reason why God give heavenly kingdom a thousand years to prove the above question. Or maybe he will ask more and more questions to challenge people living on the earth and the heavenly kingdom, challenge this and challenge that… Not sure but this is his nature.
Romans 8:22, “For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now”.
Although this caused by Satan and all people are suffering, but we Faith in God, God is the love, righteousness and justice, and God Almighty. What will our heavenly Father God do?
Job 42:10,12 “And YHWH restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And YHWH gave Job twice as much as he had before.12 And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning“.
Although people are suffering now, we should keep patient and resist Satan. If we prove to Satan we are goodness and righteous, then our Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will reward us twice grace more like He rewarding Job.
Deuteronomy 6:18, “And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of YHWH, that it may go well with you, and that ‘you may go in and take possession of the good land‘ that YHWH swore to give to your fathers”.
The new earth(Promised Land) will come, no mourning, nor crying, nor pain and no death anymore but happiness. Amen. Thanks heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, we all give Love, Thankful, Praise, Honor to you.
Amen.
Now the <New Heaven and New Earth> the real “Promise Land” will come…
