And I saw a Great White Throne, and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled; and a place was not found for them. And I saw the dead, the small and the great, standing before God. And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works Revelation 20:11-12
At this Judgement two kinds of books will be opened: The Book of Life and Death. This shows very clearly, that those appointed to eternal life receive that appointment at this stage in the game, at the concluding stages of the Millennium, and not at the beginning of the Millennium as many commonly believe. This event occurs at the end of the Millennium just prior to the coming of the New Heavens and the New Earth.
To be sure of life in God's Kingdom, it would be better to be part of the First Resurrection where the second death has no power over, and not the resurrection at the end which ends in the lake of fire.
Satan will be released just prior to the end of the Millennium to make the deeds of the ungodly manifest for the very purpose of this Judgment.
Life in the Millennium is not as you believe it will be, nor as you may have been told. Though, it will be a Society run on godly principles, and a Society that will be free of Satan and his demon hordes due to their imprisonment, mankind will be free of this influence during the Millennial period, but will also be free to choose to do as he desires. Eternal life however, will not be granted, neither at the beginning, nor during the Millennial period. Sure, life will be extended somewhat, health issues will dissipate, things will improve, but people will still die. But, to be able to eat from the tree of life and to gain eternal life,people will have to wait for until the very conclusion of this period before this will be granted, even then, it will only be granted if ones name has been written in the Book of Life.
The World at this time is just in a process of being restored to an Eden like state. Prosperity, peace and true worship are just beginning to cover the face of the Planet. The people living then still exercise their gift of free will, and in the exercising of this free will some will turn their hearts away from God.
And the Devil leading them astray was thrown into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. And they were tormented day and night to the ages of the ages…And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and hell gave up the dead in them. And they were each judged according to their works. And death and hell were thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire Revelation 20:1o, 13-15
At the end of this period Satan will be released to make the ungodly manifest for one last time, and one last attack on Gods people. The attack is summarily destroyed. The Final Judgment comes.
Satan, the last enemy death and all the ungodly are thrown into the lake of fire-permanently. Death will then be brought to nothing at this point. Christ then gives back the Kingdom in it’s perfect state back to his father, and becomes subject to the one who subjected all things to him, so that Yahweh once again becomes all things to all those that really love him, as it was meant to be in the beginning.
New Jerusalem comes down out of the Heavens. The tent of God will then be with mankind. Harmony has been restored, and the spiritual and physical become one, so that there is no more a division between God and man.
Eternal life in Paradise begins, man will live for as long as God lives, and God has had no beginning and will never have no end. Think of all that can be achieved when the Human race has been restored to the condition that was intended for it. We don't know, all we will have to do is wait until the New Scrolls will be opened to find out what God has in store for obedient mankind.....will you be there?
For "He (Jehovah) subjected all things under his (Christ’s) feet;" but when he says that all things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts him who has subjected all things to him. But when all things are subjected to him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who has subjected all things to him, that God may be all things in all 1 Corinthians 15:27-28
