Pastor
John outlines the prophetic events leading to the final rebellion
against Jesus at the end of the millennial kingdom. With a timeline of
progressive revelations, he details Lucifer’s fall, the coming kingdom
of Christ, and the final conflict between God and Satan.
During
the millennium, Jesus rules the earth for a thousand years in a perfect
environment where sickness, crime, immorality, and social corruption are
absent. Human lifespans are greatly extended and the population grows
into the hundreds of billions. Despite this prosperity, people are
spiritually unregenerate and begin to resent the strict moral order and
divine authority under Christ’s rule. Complaints arise about loss of
personal freedom, the requirement to attend worship, and the portrayal
of Lucifer as evil in the educational system.
As the
thousand years comes to an end, Jesus informs resurrected believers that
Satan will be released to test humanity and He withdraws with the
resurrected saints to Israel so that the final test of humanity can
unfold.
Once
released, Satan immediately organizes a global deception campaign. He
presents himself as a champion of freedom and portrays Jesus as a tyrant
who restricts humanity. His message spreads rapidly and the world’s
population joins his rebellion. Governments across the world abandon
loyalty to Christ, aligning themselves with Lucifer, leaving Israel as
the only territory still under Jesus’ direct authority.
Because weapons and armies have not existed during the millennium,
fallen angels assist humanity in rebuilding military technology and
training a massive army. Factories convert to wartime production, and
Lucifer resurrects advanced technologies including UFO-like craft to
prepare for the final battle.
Satan’s propaganda intensifies, transforming education systems to
portray Jesus as a dictator and Lucifer as a liberator. Global hatred
against Christ grows until the rallying cry becomes “Remove Jesus.”
The
rebellion culminates in the last war. Satan gathers a worldwide
coalition of nations to march against Israel. Although Satan understands
that prophecy foretells his defeat, he proceeds with the war in hopes of
filling hell with countless humans and forcing God to include fallen
angels in the redemption plan.
The
final conflict ends abruptly when the armies surround the camp of the
saints and the beloved city. Fire comes down from heaven and destroys
the entire invading force, fulfilling the prophecy recorded in
Revelation.
