DRAMA OF THE AGESFLY THROUGH HISTORY WITH THE ANCIENT BOOK

32. FINAL ACCOUNTS

At the close of the 1,000 years the redeemed will return with Jesus to this broken and desolate earth. 

At His 2nd coming, Jesus will not touch the earth. It is important to know this as Satan will stage a counterfeit 2nd coming  to deceive the people of the earth.

This will happen shortly before the REAL 2nd coming. Remember, if things are continuing on this earth, Christ has NOT returned no matter what is claimed. 

 At this third coming, Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives where he ascended from. It will split and form a great plain and then the Holy City, the New Jerusalem will come down like a great space ship and land there.

 After this God raises all the wicked dead. They are like the sands of the sea for number!  They come up with the same  signs of disease and wickedness that they died with. What a contrast between these and the faithful in the city!

Satan goes right back to his lies as soon as he has someone again to lie to. He tells these people that He did raise them and that they can all work together and capture the city of God.  How long they prepare we do not know, but when they start to march against the city, the gates are shut. 

Then a high throne is seen above the city. There is Jesus. As He appears all the wicked instantly see their whole lives laid bare before them. All the times they turned away from truth to love a lie. All the times they despised those who tried to warn them of this day.

Satan sees his cause is lost. For one brief moment he and all the wicked bow before Jesus admitting that He is just. The Bible tells us: Isaiah 45:23 "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."

But just as suddenly Satan starts up and tries to get the mob to attack the city, but they know it is hopeless now and instead they turn and attack him.

People in this vast assembly blame their leaders and their teachers for lying to them. Now the fantasies and philosophies they once delighted in are seen to be what has destroyed them.

They begin to fight each other until fire is sent down by God and they are destroyed forever.
