10 The Reign

A 1000 years of peace
Isaiah 2:2-4 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
This is also promised in Micah 4:1-8, Zechariah 14:16-21, Amos 9:11-15
Another reference is Psalm 110 concerning end times
The Lord Jesus will fulfill ALL of the Promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: the Jewish Nation.

The bottomless pit is mentioned in Revelation 9:1-2,11, 11:7, 17:8
It appears to be a vile, horrible place.


After 1000 years of peace… Satan is released from the bottomless pit.

Revelation 20:7 Satan loosed and given power to test, tempt mankind. (Compare JOB 1:6-12)

13 The Great White Throne


The final Judgement of SIN (rebellion against God). It comes at the end of the 1000-year reign of Christ Jesus on earth. Read Revelation 20-21.

Old testament Saints (Those who believed in God by Faith) will not be there as they went to heaven with Christ at his resurrection (Ephesians 4:8-10).

Believers who have died since the resurrection are also in Heaven,
2 Corinthians 5:8 and won’t be there. And we who are alive when the rapture occurs, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 also won’t be Judged at the Great White Throne.

Then who will be judged at the Great White Thone?
According to Revelation 20, all the unbelievers, unsaved, all those who have rebelled since Satan fell from heaven, Isaiah 14:12-15.

The Devil (having been freed from the bottomless pit, Revelation 20:3,7 will be cast alive into the LAKE OF FIRE where the beast and false prophet are. Revelation 20:10

All unbelievers (alive and those in Hell (who will be brought up)
Revelation 20:12-13 will be brought before the Great White Throne and Judged – GUILTY. They along with DEATH and HELL will be cast into the LAKE OF FIRE. Revelation 20:14-15

Again, NO BELIEVER (those who expressed faith in God through Christ Jesus) will not be Judged at the Great White Throne. Believers judgment was at the Judgement (Bema) seat of Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 14:11-12, 1 Corinthians 3:11-15
Believers never need fear the Great White Throne Judgement.
Believers are at the Great White Throne it will be “To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;”. Read Psalm 149

14 The New Future

On into Eternity …. What will it be like?? How glorious will it be?? What will the believer be doing??


A NEW Heaven and Earth Revelation 21:1
A NEW Jerusalem Revelation 21:2-27
These appear to be for God’s people, the Jew.
But what about the Believers?
The ones who have trusted the Lord Jesus as their Savior, the Church, during the age of Grace?

As the Scripture says …
Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

The Apostle Paul also reminds the believer …
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

No One can even imagine; it’s more than our minds can conceive. BUT it will be beyond GLORIOUS!
Remember, there’s a whole universe out there!!!

Eternal, Everlasting Part 2

Angels are Everlasting  Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Colossians 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Satan (Lucifer-Devil) is Everlasting  Ezekiel 28:13-15 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Isaiah 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Man is Everlasting    Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Believers are Everlasting  Ephesians 2:10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
John 3:15,16,18,38 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: …36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: …
Unbelievers are Everlasting John 3:18,38   …: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 36 …: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Revelation 20:11-15  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Eternal, Everlasting Part 3

Kingdom of Heaven is Everlasting Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  (it’s only taught by the Lord Jesus in the book of Matthew).
Earth is Everlasting   Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Hell is Everlasting Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Lake of Fire is Everlasting  Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Yes, ETERNAL LIFE is promised all thru scripture to all those that BELIEVE. And it will be for all eternity in a place we can’t even begin to see, hope for, or even know.
1 Corinthians 2:9   But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
And this is not a promise just to church age saints but to all believers:
Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
God’s covenant(s) with mankind, and Israel are EVERLASTING. The land given to Abraham (and his descendants were for an everlasting possession. The priesthood (Exodus 40:14) is referred to as everlasting.

So, Everlasting has a beginning but no end, therefore once it starts, it is eternal!

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Hebrews 1:8-10 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
