What will happen in the End times

We live in the last days of history.The end of life as men now know it is nearly ended.Soon Jesus will return. We have only one period of probation- and that is during our present life.The millennium will not be a thousand years of glory and peace here on earth.And it will not be an age of technological progress or a second chance for the wicked.All mankind will not be converted before it, during it, or after it.And neither Christ nor His redeemed ones will be on earth during the thousand years.

Here is the truth about the millennium and the events that mark its beginning and end:
1.Yahshua(Jesus) is going to return for His people.He promised us that He would (John 14:1-3) ,and so we can know that He will.

2.There are four identifying marks of His second advent(coming) that cannot be counterfeited by false Christs:(1) He will come so that all alive on earth at that time can see Him return ( Rev.1:7 ; Acts 1:9-11 ; Matt.24:30, 23-27). (2) He will come so all can hear Him as he returns(Matt.24:31, 1 Thess. 4:16 ). (3) He will come in immense glory- that of His own and the millions of angels that will come with Him ( Luke 9:26, Matt 28: 2-4, Matt.25:31, Rev. 6:14-17). (4) He will come unexpectedly ( Matt 24:36, 44 ).

3.His second coming will mark the beginning of the millennium.Six events will take place: (1) He will raise the righteous dead(1 Thess 4:16).
(2) He will catch up the righteous living together with the righteous dead- to meet Him in the clouds (1Thess 4:17).
(3) He will change their vile bodies to be like unto His glorious body ( Phil 3: 20-21) and translate them (1 Cor. 15:51-55, Isa.25:9).
(4) Having gathered all the righteous( 1 Thess 4:17-18, Matt 25: 34-40,24: 30-31),He will take His redeemed ones to heaven ( John 14:1-3, 17:24, 1 Thess 4:16-18).
(5) He will destroy the living wicked with the brightness of His coming (luke 17:26-30, 2 Thess 2:8).
(6) He will bind Satan to this earth (Rev. 20:2-3) .

4. During the millennium, the earth will be desolate( Rev. 20:3 ; Jer.4: 23-27 ; Isa. 24: 1,3). The wicked are dead (2 Thess 2:8) and there is no man left ( Isa. 24:20-22, Jer.4:25-26, 25: 31-33). Satan is bound on a desolate earth ( Rev. 20: 1-3) and the righteous are in heaven ( Rev.20:4,6; Dan. 7:22), engaged in a work of Judgment ( Rev. 20:4, 1 Cor.6: 1-3, Acts 24:25, Jude 6).

5. At the close of the millennium, the Holy City descends from heaven ( Rev. 20:9, 21: 1-5, Zech.14: 4,9), the wicked are raised- the second resurrection-( Rev.20:5, first part), and Satan is thus loosed to deceive them again (Rev.20:7-8). Satan and the wicked surround the City to take it (Rev. 20:8-9). All of the wicked are destroyed (Rev.20:9) and this earth is made new (Rev. 21: 1-5, 2 Peter 3: 10-14). How we long for the second coming of Christ !
