I've always believed that Ez. 37 &38 are prophecies of the post millennial war and 39 is post Armageddon.
Post-millennial God destroys the heavens and the earth when the AC attacks Jerusalem again after being freed from a thousand years in the pit.
Not quite Corel, According to Rev. 19:20 both the beast (a/c) and the false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire. Only satan is bound for a 1000 yrs. until his final release. However, a lot will happen before the earth is again re-purposed. For all we know there could be another 1000 yrs. or more after satan is released. It will take a while to tempt the whole re-populated earth.

What does this passage from Revelation tell us about the beast: -
Is not the Beast of Rev 17:7-8 also the same beast that is spoken of in Rev 13?Revelation 17:7-8: - The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast
7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
I think you need to go back to the drawing boards again to sort out your thinking on this.

Sorry Jay, but I'm not getting your point. Yes the beast is the same as the one out of the sea (which can mean nations) however that doesn't contradict the point I was making.

What did you say previously?
The passage that I had quoted said that the Beast also rose up out of the Bottomless pit and go to perdition or to put it another way into the lake of fire with the false prophet: -
??? That's what I said! The beast is not Satan if that's what you are referring to.
Now for your information, you are presenting the Reformation theology that was used to demonize the Roman Catholic Church back at the time of the reformation and has persisted to the present day, which is very wrong.
We are told in scripture that the Beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 are judged in heaven in Isaiah 24:21-22 at the same time as the people and kings of the earth are judged on the earth.
To make sure we're on the same page, the four beasts of Dan. 7 are Babylon, Medes-Persia, Greece and Rome. Is. does not say they are judged in heaven. It sounds to me like they are in sheol/hades awaiting the GWTJ after the millennium.
Revelation 12 also tells us that there was no place found for Satan and the other fallen heavenly hosts, i.e. including the four beasts and the little horn beast, and they are all imprisoned in a pit for many days.
I'm not sure you understand what you're reading but the beginning of Rev. 12 goes back to when the devil and his followers were originally kicked out of heaven to become the demons that we have today. The beasts are most certainly not included there!
We are also informed that Satan sends a flood after Israel, i.e. a massive army to destroy Israel at that time, of people, but these kings and their armies are judged at Armageddon at the same time as Satan, the four beasts and the little horn beast, i.e. the false prophet, are judged in heaven. No, it doesn't say that. The kings are slain, their judgement will come post-mill. at the GWTJ. It also doesn't say the rest were all judged in heaven. The four beasts represent the kings of the earth.
In Revelation 20:1-3 we are told that Satan is caught and imprisoned as soon as he sets foot on the earth after this judgement, (there is nothing said about his being on the earth but he could very well be.) and locked up in the Bottomless Pit which confirms that Isaiah 24:21-22 verses (Is. is not referencing the bottomless pit he is speaking of a pit like Daniel or Joseph was thrown into) and if Satan will be put into the Bottomless Pit in our near future for a 1,000 year period, then the four beasts and the little horn beast are also imprisoned in the Bottomless Pit. (No they are not, they are human. The little horn was Antiochus Eppiphanes who was from the line of one of Alexander's generals named Seleucus.)
Then in Revelation 9 we are told that the Bottomless pit is unlocked, to firstly release the locusts, i.e. the armies and kings judged at Armageddon to inflict torment on the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads for 5 months.
I believe they are demons who may possess the leaders of these nations as Satan possesses the a/c when he is killed for 3 days.
Then the beasts are released to kill a third of mankind. ( I believe this is China, they alone boast of that many soldiers)
Need I go on to how that the judged beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 were locked up also for a period of 1,000 years before they are released from the bottomless pit. covered, not correct
Now what I had posted did contradict your posted claim. I stand by my statement that you need to go back to the drawing board to sort out your thinking on this matter. The evidence was plainly presented in my first post in response to your claimed nonsense above. In this response, I have only drawn on more evidence from the Book of Revelation.
You can believe what you want but this is the first I have heard of your theory.
Shalom
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because within the context of scripture and historical proof it is as I said!
