THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
tells all of a one-thousand - year period of time, that Bible students call "The Millennium." This word id NOT found in the Bible. It comes from the two Greek words, "MILLE," meaning "One Thousand," and "ANNUM" meaning " a year" Referring to this passage----
Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
The time frame of this 1,000 years, is by far, the most easiest to determine, because of the unmistakable bookends. It begins on the day that Christ returns in His Second Advent, and the Resurrection of the Just, and it ends with creation of the Lake of Fire ----
Revelation 20:10-11 "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. 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" [Rev. 19:20. Rev.20: 14-15.].]
Note: Brimstone is sulfur and it burns at over 2,000 degrees F. Thus death is instantaneous, for most, but for Satan, upon whom Jesus will place ALL sins upon him, that will also be burned up! Punishment will be for ever, in its results, but not forever punishing! [God would have to give all evil-doers, eternal life just to keep on punishing them, does THAT, sound like a God, that so loves the world that He sent His Son Jesus to died for our sins?"...look....
Malachi 4:3 "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."
NOTE: Please ask yourself, "IF... if YOU are one of the saints, {I hope you are] can you see your self walking among the flames just to walk upon Satan's ashes? Or -----
Jude 1:7 " Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire".
Note: Are these 7 cities and towns still burning today? After all it says Eternal Fire right? Biblically in this application the word eternal, means men can't put the fire out, and it will burn ONLY as long as it's job is to last, no more fuel, no more fire! Never allow men to deceive you go to the Word for truth!
Another false teaching in most churches,at least those who DO NOT insist the members actually study the Bible, is that there are TWO RESURRECTIONS!
The FIRST RESURRECTION at the Second Coming of Christ, are the JUST! The second resurrection is for all the rest, a 1,000 years latter.----
Revelation 20:4-6 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Note: The SECOND shall be exclusively for the wicked! Who shall come out of the graves with the same age and infirmities and illnesses they died with! Unlike the Just who will resurrect with A glorious Body as is Jesus' and be a youthful adult, forever! By the way, those who "Pierced Him at the Cross?------
John 19:37 "And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."
Revelation 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
Note: All those who Nailed Jesus to the Cross, or shoved in a spear, will also see Him and perish again thus shall perish three times! Because they Murdered the Sin Bearer!
RESURRECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
These are the two resurrection that Jesus spoke about when He said, ----
John 5:28-29 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
We can know this first Resurrection happens because of----
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words"
Thus, there can no question the millennium will begin with the second coming of Jesus, since that is the time when the righteous living, and the righteous dead will be resurrected, and will join Jesus in the clouds, just as Jesus had promised near 2,000 years ago!----
John 14:1-3 " Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
During this time the just shall be with Jesus and The Father-God, for the 1,000 years, and they will judge-----
Revelation 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, [ during the Dark Ages of persecutions from AD 100 to 1798 A.D. ] and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; [ Revelation 13] and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
Where will the wicked be, during the time their cases are being examined? They will be dead, {both in the graves, and not buried on this earth, in fact the wicked humans and angels will not ever leave this earth!]
The righteous only will be raised to eternal life condition [ 1 Corinthians 15:50-55] at Christ's return, thus making it plain that the millions of people who are not saved, {note: DUE to their own personal choices because they chose to reject Christ!] , who died at His return, and those during the ages past, will all remain in the ground or sea, until the second Resurrection at the end of the 1,000 years!
The living, at that time, wicked ones will perish due to His power and glory, as sin can not live nor exist is His presence!----
Jeremiah 25:33 " And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
Note: Because they refused to receive the love for the TRUTH! God allowed them to be deceived by Satan;'s lies, and because they had pleasure in doing evils things!
Revelation 19:11-21 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
Note: At His return all the wicked who reject HIM will perish, and their bones picked clean by birds of prey as Satan will not bother to dig graves for them! Most living then will be lost! All due to selfish Pride, of living life their way!
SATAN BOUND.
This helps us to understand why the Bible says that Satan will be "bound" during the 1,000 years. Since the day he tempted Eve, and Adam i n the garden of Eden, he has spent time deceiving us humans and causing us to sin But with the righteous in heaven after Christ Second Coming, and the wicked all dead Satan will have none to deceive thus he is "chained' by circumstance.....
Revelation 20:1-2 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
This chain is symbolic, not literal, just as in our case case, when we wish to go someplace, but can't because "Our hands are tied."
Note: The Bottomless pit, There can be no such thing unless there's a hole right through the planet right?. The Greek word here is Abusos, where we have out abyss from.
When Jesus comes, the earth will be reduced to chaos as the results of the previous events of water turning to blood and with boils on the unjust, plus earthquakes, storms and human violence.
Isaiah 6:11 " Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,"
Isaiah 24:1 " Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
Jeremiah 4:23-27 " I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."
Revelation 16:18-20 "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."
Note: The above verses shows what shall be earth's condition after the Second Advent! Thus the earth will become as it was in Genesis 1:1-2. Tuhu VA Buhu, (SP?) desolate and formless and empty. Satan and his fallen angels will have the full 1,000 years, without sunlight, nor light of any king, reflect on the ruin he caused bringing sin into this world, and by Adam's surrender to his will by his disobeying God, Adam surrendered earth to Satan ruler ship. Yet Satan will not change, his ways nor his thinking.
In fact, at the moment of the end of the 1,000 years, when God resurrects all the unjust and wicked ones, he, Satan will again deceive them into believing that HE, Satan resurrected them, and lea where he will attempt to eat from the Tree of Life, as will all his own.and them to surround the The Holy city New Jerusalem. They will attempt to take by force what was offered to them for free.through Christ Jesus, Whom they all rejected!

THE RESURRECTION OF THE WICKED.
At the end of the Millennium Satan will be "Released" from his prison-----
Revelation 21:1-2 "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. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband"
.Revelation 20:7-8 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."------
Ezekiel 39:11 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog."
Note: As usual men have allowed their imaginations to run wild in print and Pulpits on this topic, and as usual they are not following the word of God.-- [ mentions in the O.T. but only once in the New, above: 1 Chronicles 5:4; Ezekiel 38:2,3,14,16,18,; 39:1, and 39:11 above].
Sorry all you rumor mongers, but this final battle is God's battle in the which He will----
Revelation 20:9 "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
------- WHY? Why will Satan, the devil try to muster his deceived ones into the final battle/ when he knows he had zero chance of success? In a word ego, and belief in self, not ever dampened after a life-time for him of failures against Jesus Christ, after the New Jerusalem sets down on the very location of earth, that was promised to Abraham, so long ago. [ Numbers 34,] [ area given is about a square of 375 miles, making it a cube]-------
Revelation 21:16 " And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal." {furlong is one-eighth of a mile, or 1,500 miles around,or 375 miles per side.]
But of course their attack shall fail. Fire from God will consume Satan and his vast host------
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."
Note: for ever and ever, sorry this means just as in Sodom, the fire will burn only as long as the "JOB" lasts! What happens when the no more "Fuel" for the fire to burn? It goes out! As this will also!
Malachi 4:3 " 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."
Note: QUESTION, can ashes burn? When we cremate a a person, do they still live and feel pain? NO they are dead, and beyond pain of feeling or knowing anything!, DEAD IS DEAD! No Part of us lives beyond death, until God's resurrection, period, anything else is from the Devil!
2 Peter 3:10 "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."
Note: This is the condition for Satan and company of fallen angels for the next 1,000 years on this earth, with no light of any kind! The Bible is NOT written in a chronological order, that's why we must search and properly divide it.
2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
CLEANSING THIS EARTH.
Thus the universe, will be cleansed of sin and death! Satan and all who followed him, even by staying neutral, they have rejected the savior, and followed Satan, the deceiver. to destruction. Then God, will re-Create Eden over this entire earth,------
2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness"
Revelation 21:5 "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
Note: For the very first time in human history we shall see, with our own eyes, God Creative Powers at work! So when an evolutionist tells us how life began or earth, it is ONLY a human assumption, nothing more!
