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.
