The Invasion of the Earth, #2

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. (Joel 2:3-5)

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 4:3)

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:14,15)

The army of Christ will go throughout the earth destroying every trace of Satan and his works.

At some point, whether at the beginning or at the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age we are not certain, the Lord will summon the nations to appear before Himself. The nations that did not help and nourish the saints, the Lord's brothers, will be led away to eternal punishment. But those that did bless and assist the saints will enter eternal life (Matthew 25:46).

There will be peace for a thousand years (or for a period of time symbolized by one thousand years) as the saints enforce the laws of Christ with a rod of iron. All resistance will be crushed.

As we understand the Scriptures, during the thousand years of the Kingdom Age the firstfruits of the Bride, the strongest members of the Church, will teach and help the remainder of Israel, of God's elect. By the end of the thousand years of Christ's rule on earth the entire Body of Christ will have been made perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Satan will be released from the bottomless pit that there may be one final sifting of the hearts of men. The rebellious nations will gather together against the saints and against the city of Jerusalem. But fire will come down from God and destroy them (Revelation 20:9).

Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire, into the place where Antichrist and the False Prophet are existing in torment.

The earth and the firmament will pass away with a thunderous noise. The dead of all ages will be raised and stand before Christ. This is the second resurrection. Each individual will be judged according to his works. Those who have been found worthy of eternal life will be saved. Those whose conduct has been such that Christ has blotted their name from the Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire along with death and Hell.

A new sky and a new earth will appear. Down from Heaven through the new sky will descend the new Jerusalem, the glorified Church, the Wife of the Lamb. The nations of the saved will find their places on the new earth. The Throne of God and of the Lamb now will be on the earth instead of in Heaven and the nations of saved peoples of the earth will walk in the light of it. (from The End-time Judgments)
