Conclusion of Millennium study
Verse 14-15- After the judgment of unbelievers is completed and they are not found in the book of life, they will be cast into the lake of fire to be burned, consumed and utterly annihilated. It says death and hades (literal grave) will be cast into this fiery lake burning with sulfur. Remember after the first resurrection, the only people remaining in the literal grave (death and hades) are unbelievers.
So, basically the time line goes like this: The Second Advent of Jehoshua (Day of Jehovah) at the last day takes place after the great tribulation. The dead in Jehoshua rise first and then those who are alive are caught up to be with the Messiah forever. See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11.
After this, Jehovah's final wrath in this age (7 bowl, judgements) will be poured out on all mankind remaining on earth. This will be those who have the mark of the beast and didn't keep the commandments of Jehovah (10 commanments) and have the faith and testimony of Jehoshua Messiah (his virgin birth, earthly ministry, death on stake, burial, bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father and the spirit of prophecy which is the testimony of Jehoshua). See Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12 and Revelation 19:10.
2nd Peter 3:10-12 (RSB)
3:10 But the day of Yahweh 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.
3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and piety,
3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Yahweh, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
As a result of the return of Jehoshua and the final wrath of Jehovah in this age on unbelievers, the earth will be desolate (Isaiah 24:19-22).
The false prophet and antichrist were cast into the lake of fire on earth as a result of the earth being melted with fervent heat at the coming of Jehoshua. The lake of fire (Gehenna) being a type of the valley of the son of Hinnom which was a burning garbage refuse outside Jerusalem. Satan will be bound to the earth for a thousand years. The binding is symbolic of him not having anyone to deceive as the earth will be uninhabited during the millennium.
The Saints will be in Heaven reigning as Kings and Preists with Jehoshua Messiah. See Revelation 20:4,6 and Daniel 7:27. We will judge the cases of the lost and fallen angels. See Revelation 20:4, John 14:1-3, 1 Corinthians 6:2-3, Peter 2:4; Jude 6.
After the thousand years conclude, the Holy City Heavenly Jerusalem descends with Jehoshua and the Saints. See Revelation 20:9 and Zechariah 14:9.
The resurrection of the wicked (second resurrection) then takes place. See Revelation 20:5,13).
Satan loosed to deceive the nations (resurrected unbelievers) once final time. Attack on the Holy City.
Judgment and destruction of Satan and the wicked. This will include them being cast into the lake of fire here on earth. This fire will accomplish two things, final annihilation of Satan and the wicked (all unbelievers) and a cleansing of the earth in order to facilitate it's restoration. See Revelation 20:11-15.
Earth renewed. See Revelation 21:1,2 and 2nd Peter 3:10-14. The meek (believers in Jehoshua) shall inherit the earth, Matthew 5:5.
I believe that we are now living in Jesus' millennial Kingdom (Colossians 1:12-13). The true Sabbath of the new covenant is the Davidic King, Jesus Christ (Shiloh). My blessed hope is the Second Advent of Jehovah's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, at the last day. Those in the Kingdom of Jesus will preach his Davidic Kingship as a present reality on the throne of David in New Jerusalem. Those who call on the name of Jehovah in these last days will be saved (Joel 2:32). Psalm 2:7!
