Revelation Timeline of Events

​

Jesus returns to Earth for the second time, aka the “second coming”.
Revelation 19

The righteous are resurrected (meaning their souls leave Heaven and enter their new, Earthly, bodies) and those still living will be transformed and receive new, perfected, bodies. They will rule Earth with Jesus for 1,000 years.
Revelation 20:4 … and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

At the end of the 1,000 years the unrighteous were resurrected and are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment. Some may (or will) be condemned to the “Lake of Fire” (LOF). Death itself is then abolished in the LOF.
Revelation 20

The present Earth and heavens are eliminated and replaces with a new Earth and new heavens. Jesus says “Behold, I am making all things new”. Once again it says that the unrighteous will be thrown into the LOF. New Jerusalem appears.
Revelation 21

The “River of Life” is described and then John reiterates that Jesus will be coming to save the world which he previously described in Revelation 20.
Revelation 22

Jesus puts all enemies under his feet, meaning, they are now loyal to and serve him. Having accomplished his mission of saving ALL mankind, Jesus stops ruling the kingdom and gives it to God the Father, who then becomes ALL in ALL!
1 Corinthians 15:22-
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

Philippians 2:10-11 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

 

[Keraz]

What WILL happen:

The enemies of the Lord gather - Micah 4:11-12, Ezekiel 36:2
They conspire to attack Israel - Psalms 83:1-8, Isaiah 21:2
They prepare their weapons - Psalms 7:12, Ezekiel 7:14

This is the situation today.

At the moment of attack, God will use His Creation, the sun to send fire - Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-43, Isaiah 30:26 & 30, Psalms 11:4-6, Isaiah 66:15-17, 2 Peter 3:7, Amos 1:1-15 & 2:1-5 , Psalms 50:1-3, Zephaniah 3:8, Revelation 6:12-17

The sun will explode with an extremely bright flash and the moon will reflect bright red - Isaiah 30:26, Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Habakkuk 3:4-5

The Lord will make their weapons recoil upon themselves, the Electro-Magnetic Pulse hit will cause them to explode - Psalms 7:13-16, Joel 3:4, Obadiah 15

Then the sun, moon and stars will be obscured by the approaching Coronal Mass Ejection - Psalms 18:11-12, Isaiah 13:9-13, Ezekiel 32:7-8, Amos 8:9

A huge superhot mass of hydrogen plasma approaches the earth – Joel 1:15-20, Malachi 4:1, Zephaniah 1:14-18

Everyone on earth will be shocked and terrified - Jeremiah 6:24-26, Ezekiel 21:5-7a, Isaiah 13:6-8, Revelation 6:15-17

The atmosphere will be pushed aside – Revelation 6:14, 2 Peter 3:10, Isaiah 34:4

The whole earth will be enveloped by fire - Isaiah 66:15, Zeph. 3:8, 2 Peter 3:7

In the Holy Land, only a remnant will survive - Zechariah 13:8-9, Isaiah 6:11-13

He will punish His enemies, the attackers of Israel- Psalms 83, Isaiah 63:1-6, Habakkuk 3:12, Revelation 14 18-20, Isaiah 66:17, Isaiah 29:20-21, Hebrews 10:27

His enemies will become ashes - Malachi 4:3, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Jeremiah 49:2, Matthew 3:12b

Millions will die around the world - Psalms 97:3-5, Jeremiah 25:33, Isaiah 13:12

The Lord will protect those who call to Him - Isaiah 43:2, Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21

But most people will take shelter until it passes. Isaiah 2:19, Revelation 6:15

The Holy Land will be regenerated - Ezekiel 36:8, Joel 2:21-24, Isaiah 35:1-10, Amos 9:13-15, Jeremiah 33:12-14

And the Lord's faithful Christian people will gather there. - Psalms 107, Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 66:18b-21, Revelation 7:9-14
They will become the new nation of Beulah - Isaiah 62:1-5, Ezekiel 36:3-38, Jeremiah 31

They will build a new Temple – Zechariah 6:15, Haggai 2:9, Ezekiel 40 to 48

The attack by a Northern army will be won by the Lord – Ezekiel 38:22, Joel 2:20

The leaders of Beulah will break the Covenant with the Lord and sign a 7 year peace treaty with the leader of the O.W.G. Daniel 9:27, Isaiah 28:14-15

At the midpoint he will break the treaty and conquer Beulah-Daniel 9:27, Zechariah 14:1-2

This commences the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls of the Great Tribulation - Rev 8:2 onward.

Those who kept their faith in God will be taken to a safe place on earth. Daniel 11:32b, Revelation 12:14

3.5 years later, Jesus will Return in His glory, for His Millennial reign - Revelation 19:11-21, Matthew 24:30-31, Zechariah 14:3-4

The Lord has told us His plans and He will not relent or change them - Jeremiah 4:28
There are plenty more prophecies and scriptures to prove this scenario.
Believe it or not it’s up to everyone to decide! Psalms 19:11-12, Isaiah 48:6

Is my understanding of the timeline of end-times events accurate?​

@Patrick1966

The simple answer is no.

The long answer requires too much detail explanations for most people to make sense of, because the tradition of peoples understanding does not allow them to be able to see.

A prophetic year of only 360 day is misleading as the variation to normalise the Solar years in the Old Testament required for an additional 30 day month to be added every so often so that the solar seasonal years could be accommodated. Every now and then there was a 390 day year in the mix.

If one is very careful with their chronological calculation, they can determine that the Great White Trone Room judgement takes place around 7,168 years within man's Calander time frame. It is my understanding that we are presently around 6,123 years after the creation of Adam, so that we have around 1,045 years until the final judgement.

The problem that I have is reconciling God's timeline with our timeline that we use today.

There are other issues that also need to be addressed, such as the beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 are actually wicked fallen heavenly hosts who are able to influence people groups, kingdoms, nations and empires to inhabit their respective dominions/domains of influence. That the Little Horn is also a wicked fallen heavenly host who is able to exercise his influence and power over the four beasts of Daniel 7:1-12.

But this will open up a can of worms, where members will rile up, with others because just the above illustrations do not line up with their pet understandings and strife will arise in the thread.

YOu also have a need to rationalise between "neo" and "kaneos" within the Greek text as they are both translated as "new" but "neo" is "new with respect to age" where as "kaneos" is refreshed like new, like a house that has had a new lick of paint, to freshen the house up.

Matt 13:52 speaks of a covenant that is very old from the time of Adam that has been refreshed with a new process whereby our sins are redeemed by Christ and not the blood of animal sacrifices.

We have to be able to understand when God intends to establish His everlasting Kingdom here on the earth and what this means for all of mankind.

The End Time story has become lost in the many suppositions that have been written about that are mudding the waters of our understandings.

Need I go on any more.

PS: Keraz is one such commentator on the End Times who has established his own understanding without the leading of the HS or God.

 

[Patrick1966]

Thanks for the response.

 

[Keraz]

PS: Keraz is one such commentator on the End Times who has established his own understanding without the leading of the HS or God.

So; my use of 95 scriptures as proof of the end times scenario, has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit or God?
It is the understanding of the Prophets, which people cannot refute, so their only rebuttal is to denigrate the messenger.

C'mon Jay; prove the Prophets wrong. I have just placed their Words is a logical and common sense order.
Jeremiah 4:28 and Amos 3:7, tell us that the Lord has told us His Plans. But, you are right: people who have believed false teachings or have dreamed up their own ideas of what our future holds; will not be able to understand the truth when they see it. Matthew 11:25, Isaiah 29:9-12

 

[Patrick1966]

C'mon Jay; prove the Prophets wrong. I have just placed their Words is a logical and common sense order.

Better yet, please create your own thread to debate one another and let's stick to the topic of this thread. Thanks.

 

[Aunty Jane]

@Patrick1966......I have a different scenario that the scriptures tell me....

The second "coming" is not a "coming" at all....
When the apostles asked Jesus..."what will be the sign of your [parousia] and of the end of the age?" he was talking about something completely different. The word "coming" is "erchomai" and it is used at Matt 3:7,11,14.
Christ's "parousia" includes his arrival but that is not all.

Strongs gives the primary meaning of "parousia" as "presence" not "coming". That means that Jesus return was not discerned by the world at all because of what he said next.....
In answer to their question about his return....

"And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

If Christ's return was a visible event, then no "signs" would have been necessary....so the world at large would be unaware of it. Only his true disciples would discern it.

As Jesus was ascending to heaven in the first century, the angels told his apostles that he would return "in the same manner" (Acts 1:11)....the world did not know that it had taken place....only his closest disciples witnessed it.

So what is this "sign" that Jesus us gave to signal his return as King?
The first indication on a world scale was "WAR"...not just local skirmishes in some countries, but all out global war...the kind of which mankind had never seen before....."nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom"....was just the beginnings of the "birth pangs" of the Kingdom. Famines and earthquakes in various places would follow. Also Luke's account mentions pestilences.

So when did the world experience it first world war? 1914. And what followed shortly after? The Spanish Flu epidemic which was exacerbated by the food shortages caused by the war, resulting in poor nutrition and susceptibility to disease.
Many major earthquakes resulting in great loss of life have been recorded since 1914.
A falling away from the faith in betrayal and hatred for one another has taken place as science took over the role of religion for many, replacing Creation with Evolution....and eliminating the need for a Creator God.

Lawlessness would destroy trust, so love would grow cold in the world as neighbors now basically ignore one another and friendships are carried out online with strangers instead of real friends in person.

It would require "endurance" on the part of Christ's disciples to stay firm in the faith during the difficult time between Christ's (unannounced) arrival and his manifestation, when he visibly comes to judge the world. All of the signs that Jesus gave have been in evidence since 1914. We know when the "the time of the end" began, but not when it ends.....only God knows when that will be. (Matt 24:37-39)

So timeline wise....I see the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ as King of the Kingdom, taking the reigns and guiding his disciples through a very difficult period of earth's history from 1914 onward.
During the time of his "presence" the resurrection of the elect would take place, so that the Kingdom will be ready with its full compliment of rulers and priests in the Kingdom for a thousand years. (Rev 20:6)
Jesus would also be directing the greatest preaching campaign the world has ever seen, as it says in Matt 24:14....and Matt 28:19-20.

The end of the present system of things will come with the 'separating of the sheep and the goats'. The elimination of the "goats" will see the faithful come out of the greatest tribulation in man's history to a new world of righteousness (2 Pet 3:13)

During the thousand years, the general resurrection of the dead will take place (John 5:28-29) and after all humans attain to their original sinless perfection, satan will be released from the prison where he was sent, so that he and his cronies would not be able to interfere with God's purpose to bring the human race back into reconciliation with the Father. (Rev 20:1-3)

After one last test, all humanity will be brought back to the beginning to start the life that God planned for them all along. The devil and his hoards will be permanently dispatched, and evil will never trouble us again. The detour was to show both man and angels what happens when we leave God out of our lives, thinking that we can rule ourselves without him.

We will never want to repeat this folly again.....God will step in right on time to bring about an end to this rotten, corrupt world and all who support it.

New world...here we come!

Thank you @Aunty Jane for your caring, generous, and heartfelt response.

 

[Enoch111]

The righteous are resurrected (meaning their souls leave Heaven and enter their new, Earthly, bodies) and those still living will be transformed and receive new, perfected, bodies. They will rule Earth with Jesus for 1,000 years.

The Resurrection/Rapture takes place BEFORE the Second Coming of Christ. However the Tribulation Saints are raised BEFORE the Millennium goes into effect. The "first resurrection" is in three phases (just like a Hebrew harvest). So these are phases 2 and 3.

Jesus puts all enemies under his feet, meaning, they are now loyal to and serve him.

This takes place at the Second Coming (Armageddon) and then at the battle of Gog and Magog.

 

[Patrick1966]

The Resurrection/Rapture takes place BEFORE the Second Coming of Christ.

Revelation Timeline of Events

​

Jesus returns to Earth for the second time, aka the “second coming”.
Revelation 19

The righteous are resurrected (meaning their souls leave Heaven and enter their new, Earthly, bodies) and those still living will be transformed and receive new, perfected, bodies. They will rule Earth with Jesus for 1,000 years.

The resurrection type body per Paul in 1 Cor.15 is to a "spiritual body". They are already in it, but their souls not yet immortal, which will happen when Jesus brings them with Him back to earth. Those still alive on earth will be 'changed' to that "spiritual body" on the "last trump" of 1 Cor.15, the 7th trumpet of Rev.11. That includes the wicked being changed also. When Jesus comes it will end this present flesh world time. The world to come is one of Spirit, not flesh (see 1 Cor.15:50).

See Zechariah 14 about the day of Jesus' future return with all His saints.

Revelation 20:4 … and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

All will be made alive, but the wicked and unbelieving will not have immortal souls. Paul said that it was his desire that there will be both a resurrection of the Just, and the unjust (Acts 24:15). This is what is meant when He said as all have been made subject to Adam's sin, all also will be made alive by Christ. This is a mystery, but it is written of enough, because Jesus mentioned in John 5:28-29 that at His coming there will be both a resurrection of life, and a resurrection of damnation. Paul in the Greek of 1 Cor.15:53 covered about the resurrected wicked still being liable to perish, being subject to the "second death" of Rev.20.

At the end of the 1,000 years the unrighteous were resurrected and are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment. Some may (or will) be condemned to the “Lake of Fire” (LOF). Death itself is then abolished in the LOF.
Revelation 20

ALL... the dead are resurrected on the day of Jesus' return, per John 5:28-29. Many like to bypass what Jesus said there, and come up with fleshy doctrines about the resurrection in Rev.20. The Rev.20:5 "dead" mean the spiritually dead, those still with souls that are in a liable to perish condition. They will be alive in their spirit bodies all through the Rev.20 "thousand years". All will be in their spiritual body then.

Those in that time that refuse to convert to Christ will instead have chosen to perish in the future "lake of fire" at the end of the thousand years.

The present Earth and heavens are eliminated and replaces with a new Earth and new heavens. Jesus says “Behold, I am making all things new”. Once again it says that the unrighteous will be thrown into the LOF. New Jerusalem appears.
Revelation 21

The “River of Life” is described and then John reiterates that Jesus will be coming to save the world which he previously described in Revelation 20.
Revelation 22

Lord Jesus will have already been here, on earth, for that 1,000 years reign with His elect of the "first resurrection". After hell, death, and Satan and the wicked are destroyed in the LOF, that is when the new heavens and a new earth time will happen. But God's River and the Tree of Life will begin being re-established here on earth for Christ's "thousand years" Millennial reign (see Ezekiel 47; Revelation 22:14-15).

Jesus puts all enemies under his feet, meaning, they are now loyal to and serve him. Having accomplished his mission of saving ALL mankind, Jesus stops ruling the kingdom and gives it to God the Father, who then becomes ALL in ALL!

Jesus must reign over all His enemies, which is what the "thousand years" reign is for. That is when He will put all enemies under His feet. In Rev.3:9, He told those of the Church of Philadelphia that He will make the false Jews of the "synagogue of Satan" come to worship at the feet of His elect in that future time.

Thanks @Davy

Meanwhile this is me...

 

[Truth7t7]

We have to be able to understand when God intends to establish His everlasting Kingdom here on the earth and what this means for all of mankind.

Your claim is "False" The Lord will "Dissolve" this earth by fire at his return, down to its very elements

2 Peter 3:10-12KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

 

[Enoch111]

Thanks. Which verses say that, please?

Don't look for textbook answers. Try and connect the dots. If the Marriage of the Lamb PRECEDES the Second Coming (which it does) and all the saints must be present for that occasion, then it follows that the Resurrection/Rapture PRECEDES the Marriage of the Lamb. There is always a divine logic to the sequence of events.

Well, it seems that you have overlooked the prophecy in Daniel 2 where Daniel tells us that during the time of those kings that God will establish his everlasting kingdom on the earth.

Daniel 2:34 -35, 44-45: - 34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.​

​

. . . . 44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold — the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”​

​

This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. God will establish this kingdom in our near future, possibly, within the next 20-25 years,

But you claim that this prophecy of God's is false.

You have illustrated, beautifully, the point that I was making. It seems to me that you and Keraz are strange bedfellows in your respective prophetic understandings.

 

[Aunty Jane]

Don't look for textbook answers. Try and connect the dots. If the Marriage of the Lamb PRECEDES the Second Coming (which it does) and all the saints must be present for that occasion, then it follows that the Resurrection/Rapture PRECEDES the Marriage of the Lamb. There is always a divine logic to the sequence of events.

Who provided the dots? It was “the church” not the Bible.

The “marriage of the Lamb” (when all members of his “bride” are gathered) takes place just before Jesus carries out the foretold sentence against the “goats”.....but “the second coming” has two distinct parts.....Christ’s arrival (parousia) is the first part, when he becomes “present” in his role as King of God’s kingdom, (in the midst of his enemies as per Psalm 110:1-2) and all the features of the “sign” he gave to indicate his presence in Kingdom power, would be observed. (Matt 24:3-14)

Christ has been present and guiding his true disciples for over 100 years, and all the features of the “sign” have been seen during this whole period. The elect who have passed away, were raised during this period as Paul indicated.....those who ‘sleep in death’ were not raised before their modern day counterparts.....

“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 NKJV)

The elect are only a relatively small number of Christians among the many who are also saved, and these are specially chosen for a specific role as “kings and priests” in heaven with Christ. (Rev 20:6)

The remaining ones of the elect are transformed “in the twinkling of an eye” as Christ is about to carry out the cleansing of the earth of all wickedness, leaving the saved Christians on earth to become the nucleus of the “new earth” governed by a “new heavens” (2 Peter 3:13)

In the Revelation John saw two groups of Christians who are saved.....

“Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed . . . . . . . .
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Rev 7:2-4, 13-14 NKJV)

The elect (saints) are numbered, sealed, and chosen from spiritual Israel (Gal 6:16) not literal Israel, and are destined for a role in heaven with their Lord Jesus. Only they have “the heavenly calling”. (Heb 3:1)

The great multitude are unnumbered and said to “come out of the great tribulation” as survivors. These also attribute salvation to God and the Lamb and will be their subjects on earth.

Anything other than what the scriptures say is assumption and conjecture.

 

[Aunty Jane]

The resurrection type body per Paul in 1 Cor.15 is to a "spiritual body". They are already in it, but their souls not yet immortal, which will happen when Jesus brings them with Him back to earth.

Where does it mention "immortal souls" anywhere in the Bible? This is an assumption, not a Bible teaching. There is no such thing as an "immortal soul" because all "souls" in the Bible are living, breathing creatures, both man and animals. We all breathe the same air and die the same death as Solomon said......
"For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust." (Eccl 3:19-20 NKJV)

All will be made alive, but the wicked and unbelieving will not have immortal souls.

Where will I find that in the Bible? The wicked are dispatched as "goats" when Jesus judges mankind. They are eliminated from existence because God has no reason to keep them alive. Why would he want to punish them for all eternity? What would that accomplish? Their removal will not be lamented by anyone, so it will be as though they never existed, having proven unworthy of the gift of life.

The dead will have a resurrection, both the "righteous and the unrighteous" will come back....some who have proven faithful in life will be rewarded, but even those who did evil things in ignorance, never knowing God or his son, will be given an opportunity to learn about the true God and the sacrifice of his son on their behalf, and to bring their lives into harmony with God's requirements for continuing life. He will not punish those who did not know who God was?

This is what is meant when He said as all have been made subject to Adam's sin, all also will be made alive by Christ. This is a mystery, but it is written of enough, because Jesus mentioned in John 5:28-29 that at His coming there will be both a resurrection of life, and a resurrection of damnation.

The "all" who will be made alive are those who have not rejected the son of God as Messiah......or those who never knew him in their lifetime. Those who rejected Christ as Messiah will never live again. What did Jesus say about the Pharisees?
Matt 23:15....
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell [gehenna] as yourselves."
Gehenna is the death from which no one is resurrected. "Hell" is a mistranslation there, because there is no hell of eternal torment.
There is only life or death.....that was all God's nation were ever offered (Deut 30:19).....even Adam knew that there was no "heaven or hell" scenario ever offered to mankind. (Gen 3:19)

Paul in the Greek of 1 Cor.15:53 covered about the resurrected wicked still being liable to perish, being subject to the "second death" of Rev.20.

Those who come back in the resurrection will have an opportunity to prove themselves during the thousand years....and those who fail to bring their lives into harmony will be sure to fail the final test, and be destroyed along with the devil and his cronies, (Matt 25:31-33, 41) who will no doubt use the same old tactics that have worked on humans since the beginning. He has no new tricks.

God's first purpose must succeed because his will demands that no one can thwart his will and purpose.

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11 ESV)

The human race will return to the sinless state that God first created.....educated, and well aware of what the lessons of history have taught them about obedience to their Sovereign.

Revelation Timeline of Events

​

Jesus returns to Earth for the second time, aka the “second coming”.
Revelation 19

The righteous are resurrected (meaning their souls leave Heaven and enter their new, Earthly, bodies) and those still living will be transformed and receive new, perfected, bodies. They will rule Earth with Jesus for 1,000 years.
Revelation 20:4 … and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

At the end of the 1,000 years the unrighteous were resurrected and are judged at the Great White Throne Judgment. Some may (or will) be condemned to the “Lake of Fire” (LOF). Death itself is then abolished in the LOF.
Revelation 20

The present Earth and heavens are eliminated and replaces with a new Earth and new heavens. Jesus says “Behold, I am making all things new”. Once again it says that the unrighteous will be thrown into the LOF. New Jerusalem appears.
Revelation 21

The “River of Life” is described and then John reiterates that Jesus will be coming to save the world which he previously described in Revelation 20.
Revelation 22

Jesus puts all enemies under his feet, meaning, they are now loyal to and serve him. Having accomplished his mission of saving ALL mankind, Jesus stops ruling the kingdom and gives it to God the Father, who then becomes ALL in ALL!
1 Corinthians 15:22-
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

Philippians 2:10-11 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

The "Jesus puts all enemies under his feet" part is out of order. You have it after the new Earth but it happens at the start of the Mill.

 

[Keraz]

It seems to me that you and Keraz are strange bedfellows in your respective prophetic understandings.

Puleeese, do not lump me in with T7T;s beliefs.
He believes that we are in the Millennium now, a totally weird and impossible idea.

However T7T does know that we Christians are the Israelites of God. A truth that pre-mill, rapture believers cannot countenance, as it destroys their fanciful idea of sitting in heaven while the Jews get tribulation.

The elect (saints) are numbered, sealed, and chosen from spiritual Israel (Gal 6:16) not literal Israel, and are destined for a role in heaven with their Lord Jesus

Revelation 5:9-10 refutes you.
