I know that there are seemingly two equal sides to this debate. We do know the Lord will destroy the earth, before He judges from His throne; however, there are prophecies that must be fulfilled beforehand, that are not yet fulfilled today:

The Lord must inherit, judge, and rule over all the earth Himself. (Psalms 2:8, 22:27, 67:4, 82:8, 98:9) (Joel 3:16-18) (Is 2:2) (Zech 8:33) (Jerem 31:12)(1 Chron 16:30-33) (Ezek 4-48)

The resurrected saints must judge and rule the earth with Him for a thousand years. (Rev 2, 22)

The Lord must fight His enemies from around the world at Armageddon. (Is 61:3) (Rev 16, 19)

The Lord must give the land promised to Abraham personally, and his natural seed. (Gen 13:14)

These things are prophesied, that have not yet been fulfilled, and cannot be fulfilled if the earth is destroyed, when the Lord comes again.

2 points:
1. The prophecy in Matthew 24 of the Lord's return to the earth, is at the end of this age, often translated world. 2 peter's prophecy of the Lord destroying the world with fire, is the cosmos of heaven and earth; Which then flees from the face of the Lord upon His GWT. The Lord's 2nd coming is at the end of this age. The Lord destroys this heaven and earth at the end of the world.

2. These prophecies cannot be fulfilled on the new earth with the new heaven, since it's eternal.

Matthew, is written from the Jewish perspective, hence “kingdom of heaven” most often for “kingdom of God”. Of Matthew, Mark and Luke, only Matthew refers to the end of the world, or age. Jesus was speaking to Jews, still living under the OT religion, the Old Covenant. Since Jesus is answering the question about when the destruction of the temple of the Old Covenant religion was to be destroyed, the “world” or “age” referred to speaks end of the Old Covenant religion, of which the temple was the central to their system.

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matt 24:1-3, KJV)

The first part of the question of the disciples, a complete sentence in itself is about “when?”

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matt 24:34, KJV)

That answer of when is repeated exactly in Mark and Luke, and Luke adds another key to timing:

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” (Luke 21:20, KJV)

The siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple was in 70 AD and the years leading up to it, and that was within the generation of those to whom he was speaking.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matt 24:14, KJV) [According to Paul, this happened when he, Paul, was still living:]

“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” (Rom 1:8, KJV) [The gospel had to be preached in all the world for there to be faith spoken of thoughout the whole world.] Paul said additionally, “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” (Col 1:23, KJV)

Jesus turned from speaking of “this generation” of v34, to “that day” referring to the last day the day of resurrection and judgment:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt 24:36-39, KJV)

THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF WARNING LEADING UP TO THE LAST DAY, THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST TO RESURRECT HIS SAINTS AND JUDGE THE WORLD. JESUS GAVE SEVERAL SIGNS FOR THE JEWS TO WATCH FOR AS THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE APPROACHED.

Surely heaven and earth will pass away.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord 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.

Why did you say not destroy?

I do not know what to make of your Reply. You removed the last words of my post "DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE APPROACHED. " And then attached "Surely heaven and earth will pass away" along with 2 Peter 3:10 and then ask, "Why did you say not destroy"? I was showing why Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 are about the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, as the OP had connected that to the end of the world being destroyed at the last day. The way you replied shows no way to see where my Reply had ended and your words began. You seem to be confused on how to reply clearly.
 
I know that there are seemingly two equal sides to this debate. We do know the Lord will destroy the earth, before He judges from His throne; however, there are prophecies that must be fulfilled beforehand, that are not yet fulfilled today:

The Lord must inherit, judge, and rule over all the earth Himself. (Psalms 2:8, 22:27, 67:4, 82:8, 98:9) (Joel 3:16-18) (Is 2:2) (Zech 8:33) (Jerem 31:12)(1 Chron 16:30-33) (Ezek 4-48)

The resurrected saints must judge and rule the earth with Him for a thousand years. (Rev 2, 22)

The Lord must fight His enemies from around the world at Armageddon. (Is 61:3) (Rev 16, 19)

The Lord must give the land promised to Abraham personally, and his natural seed. (Gen 13:14)

These things are prophesied, that have not yet been fulfilled, and cannot be fulfilled if the earth is destroyed, when the Lord comes again.

2 points:
1. The prophecy in Matthew 24 of the Lord's return to the earth, is at the end of this age, often translated world. 2 peter's prophecy of the Lord destroying the world with fire, is the cosmos of heaven and earth; Which then flees from the face of the Lord upon His GWT. The Lord's 2nd coming is at the end of this age. The Lord destroys this heaven and earth at the end of the world.

2. These prophecies cannot be fulfilled on the new earth with the new heaven, since it's eternal.
It's important to not presume that the 1000 years is on Earth.

The 1000 years is in heaven with Jesus..
Joh 14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Mansions in heaven not on earth.

But after the 1000 years in heaven there is a second resurrection and a final destruction of all evil. Rev 20.... the final judgement isn't about salvation. The saved are already raised and with Jesus.

The second resurrection is to judge the evil, or unsaved and all sin is destroyed forever. The earth will be made new and the saved will inherit it then.

The prophesies will be fulfilled just trust the Lord.

When Jesus comes in All His Glory every case will have been decided. Probation has closed and if you are not saved it is too late.

Like the door that closed on Noah's ark probation will close before Jesus returns.

Rev 22:11-14
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Every online sites i go, seem to me lunatics are prevalent.
 
Before the millennial reign.

God is giving the world 7 years to have their way and go against the truth so He can end sin on earth.

Which He will not give up on the world until they give up on Him.

The antichrist will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a 7 years peace treaty which is a peace treaty for the world for they chose sides.

It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel which the Gentile nations will cause it to happen and they will not be left in the nations anymore.

The world will be divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section as they work for peace.

Which Democrats want the illegal immigrants so the solution is to merge America and Mexico and Donald Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state.

But the top leaders of the Republicans and Democrats as well as Canada and Mexico are working together.

The New Age Christ, antichrist will push the agenda of the new age and things will change drastically.

And he will prepare the world for when he claims to be God.

For the first three and one half years salvation is available to the world.

They will stop the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and the belief in a personal God on a world wide scale in favor of the new age interpretation of religions that exalts people.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age that interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of the Cosmos, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.

The time will come that people will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age.

The Pope and Vatican will go along with the new age interpretation of the Bible.

The unified religious is based on the new age and they will not allow anything to be taught contrary to it which sparks a war between Islam and the world which they will bomb the Arab nations with nuclear weapons.

Which 3 sections of the world are plucked up by the roots.

This war is so terrible that they accept the New Age Christ as the solution for peace on earth.

They will have prepared the cities to move all people in to the cities which is Agenda 21.

No development can happen outside city limits, and the people are the police force.

They want to give the people a microchip under the skin linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans.

They can watch the people, and know their location, and if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene.

This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.

All information about the person will be on the chip including finances for it is the one world economic system.

The New Age Christ's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology can help them to deter crime, and have peace.

The New Age Christ will claim to be God and their savior.

When they take the mark of the beast going along with the beast's agenda salvation is no longer available to the world and God can end sin on earth.

God will send 2 witnesses to Israel to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.

For the last three and one half years the beast makes war against the saints and prevails against them.

And they are given in to his hands for three and one half years.

And when he shall have accomplished to scatter the holy people all things shall be finished.

Which then comes the end when the Son delivers up the kingdom to God and then He will put down all power, rule, and authority, which the heathen do not continue anymore.

Which Paul said the saints will not be gathered unto Christ until the man of sin claims to be God.

The resurrection cannot happen before the 7 years period ends for the heathen continue.

It is the end at the resurrection and the heathen do not continue.

Also God is allowing the world 7 years to go against the truth but if the saints are not on earth then how did the world go against the truth.

When the saints are resurrected then the wrath of God will be poured upon the heathen leading up to the battle of Armageddon when Jesus comes back with the saints and defeats the world and saves Israel.

The millennial reign will begin which the kingdom will be restored to Israel and Jesus will rule out of Jerusalem over the heathen that God spared which they have to go up to Jerusalem to worship Jesus and keep the feast of tabernacles.

No government will be in operation except Israel.

Jesus said until heaven and earth pass away the law will be fulfilled which includes all the offices of Israel.

Jesus did not fulfill the role of King which must be done on earth which He came as a humble servant.

The millennial reign is when Jesus fulfills the role of King on earth.

And at the end of the millennial reign the law has been fulfilled and the earth and heaven will pass away.

Which the earth shall be burned up and all the works of if.

And the heavens shall melt with fervent heat.

The dead shall rise and be judged.

Death and hell shall be cast in to the lake of fire.

Which the wicked shall go in to the lower parts of the earth which is hell.

So the earth shall be cast in to the lake of fire where it is burned up.

God said He is creating a new heaven and earth and the former shall not be remembered nor come to mind.

Which is the place Jesus went to prepare.

The New Jerusalem wherein dwells righteousness where sin has never been and sin will never be and the angels and the saints will remember anything prior to that for itis associated with sin and rebellion.

You will not remember any people you knew from earth.

Matthew, is written from the Jewish perspective, hence “kingdom of heaven” most often for “kingdom of God”.

I prefer to call it giving answers to Jews about their own Jewish nationalism.

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matt 24:1-3, KJV)

The first part of the question of the disciples, a complete sentence in itself is about “when?”

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matt 24:34, KJV)

While I applaud your reference to prophetic double meaning of the two-edged sword of prophecy, it's not true in his prophecy, that any part of Jesus' answer is isolated to the Jews of that day.

This generation is also double: first for that of those Jewish converts immediately following Jesus crucifixion and resurrection in the Roman world. And then also for a future generation of all Christian converts of both Jews and Gentiles in the whole world of nations.

If any generation is specifically spoken of, then it's the latter one to come, not the first. Especially pertaining to encompassing Jerusalem:

Mat 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Mark 13: 13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Luk 21:17
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.


The problem with Caligula's abortive attempt to stand his own statue in Herod's temple, is that it failed with his assassination, and never stood there at all.

Therefore, this abominable trigger must be for the future generation, where Jerusalem will be besieged for the last time before Jesus' return.

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

This generation of the abomination of desolation cannot be the first after Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, but one not yet come...


(whoso readeth, let him understand)

That generation is for the readers of the gospels later written, not only for the hearers by Jesus' own mouth.

By double application of prophecy, the first generation after Jesus' resurrection is not neglected, but is simply the important beginning of a prophetic cycle of preaching the true gospel, rise of false antichrist gospel, persecution of saints, and destruction of the religious capitol.
 
It's important to not presume that the 1000 years is on Earth.

The 1000 years is in heaven with Jesus..
Joh 14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Zec 14:5 and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

Isa 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

The Bible says the LORD who is Jesus will rule on earth in which the heathen will not acknowledge any false god but only acknowledge Him and they have to go up to Jerusalem every year to worship Jesus.

and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

The saints are on earth for the 1000 years which Jesus is ruling over the heathen.

Which after the 1000 years are over Satan deceives the heathen which it says on earth and they go against the saints which it says on earth and God devours them with fire.

For the 1000 years the saints are on earth.

The heathen is not going to attack the saints in heaven after the 1000 years.

So the saints must be on earth for the 1000 years.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Jesus came to fulfill the law which includes the offices of Israel

But He has not fulfilled the role of King for He came as a humble servant which it must be done on earth.

That is the millennial reign and when the 1000 years is up the law is fulfilled.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

The new heaven and earth is the place Jesus went to prepare which the saints go there after the 1000 years is over.

They do not go to heaven for 1000 years being at that place but after the 1000 years.

Which they go there after this heaven and earth pass away which is at the end of the 1000 years.

It's important to not presume that the 1000 years is on Earth.

True. It's important not to presume anything about Bible doctrine and prophecy. Presumption is only by preconceived ideas, as well as lacking specific Bible proof.

The 1000 year reign of the Lord Jesus on earth, with His resurrected saints, is clearly written in Bible prophecy: Rev 2:26, 20:2-5

And here we see, the 1000 year reigning is on earth:

Rev 5:9
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.





The 1000 years is in heaven with Jesus..
Joh 14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

This is surely a presumption, without any Bible reference to the time between Jesus' ascension and return to earth. Jesus specifically says that time and day is not known, and of course it's already been more than 2000 years and counting...


Rev 20.... the final judgement isn't about salvation. The saved are already raised and with Jesus.

The second resurrection is to judge the evil, or unsaved and all sin is destroyed forever.
Sorry, but still a little more presumption.

The second resurrection is to judge all them, that are not raised alive in the first blessed resurrection of all OT and NT saints:

Rev 20:5
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

That will of course include all the wicked since Cain, but it will also include all the people saved and unsaved during the Lord's millennium on earth. Not everyone raised unto judgment of works at the GWT, will be found wicked and cast into the Lake Fire.

Rev{20:12}
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works… And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Many will also be found with works written in the Lamb's book of life during His millennial rule on earth.

The Lord Jesus' 1000 year reign on earth, with Satan shut up in the pit of hell, and the blessed resurrected saints ruling cities throughout the earth, will be the greatest and most profitable time of gospel salvation and justification on earth, than all the thousands of years going before:

Psa 67:40
let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.


Is 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.


Zec 8:23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

Jer 31:12
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Joe 3:18
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.



When Jesus comes in All His Glory every case will have been decided. Probation has closed and if you are not saved it is too late.

Like the door that closed on Noah's ark probation will close before Jesus returns.

True, as in the days of Noah, the wrath of the Lord will come swiftly upon all them that reject Him. The great days of His wrath over the earth, will finish with destruction of the nation's armies around Judea, until He set foot on Olivet as King over all the earth:

Joe 3:16
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.


Rev 22:11-14
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

This of course applies at all times, including today, during His reign on this earth, and the Lord Himself dwelling with men on the new earth. All sinning will not end with the passing of this earth. So long as there are still naturally born people, they will still have power to choose between good and evil.

However, there will be the tree of life in New Jerusalem for the righteous to eat and live forever. It is the unrepentant, that will be forbidden to enter the gates of God's city:

Rev 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.


Rev 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
 
Before the millennial reign.

God is giving the world 7 years to have their way and go against the truth so He can end sin on earth.

Which He will not give up on the world until they give up on Him.

The antichrist will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a 7 years peace treaty which is a peace treaty for the world for they chose sides.

It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel which the Gentile nations will cause it to happen and they will not be left in the nations anymore.

The world will be divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section as they work for peace.

Which Democrats want the illegal immigrants so the solution is to merge America and Mexico and Donald Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state.

But the top leaders of the Republicans and Democrats as well as Canada and Mexico are working together.

The New Age Christ, antichrist will push the agenda of the new age and things will change drastically.

And he will prepare the world for when he claims to be God.

For the first three and one half years salvation is available to the world.

They will stop the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and the belief in a personal God on a world wide scale in favor of the new age interpretation of religions that exalts people.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age that interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of the Cosmos, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.

The time will come that people will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age.

The Pope and Vatican will go along with the new age interpretation of the Bible.

The unified religious is based on the new age and they will not allow anything to be taught contrary to it which sparks a war between Islam and the world which they will bomb the Arab nations with nuclear weapons.

Which 3 sections of the world are plucked up by the roots.

This war is so terrible that they accept the New Age Christ as the solution for peace on earth.

They will have prepared the cities to move all people in to the cities which is Agenda 21.

No development can happen outside city limits, and the people are the police force.

They want to give the people a microchip under the skin linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans.

They can watch the people, and know their location, and if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene.

This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.

All information about the person will be on the chip including finances for it is the one world economic system.

The New Age Christ's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology can help them to deter crime, and have peace.

The New Age Christ will claim to be God and their savior.

When they take the mark of the beast going along with the beast's agenda salvation is no longer available to the world and God can end sin on earth.

God will send 2 witnesses to Israel to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.

For the last three and one half years the beast makes war against the saints and prevails against them.

And they are given in to his hands for three and one half years.

And when he shall have accomplished to scatter the holy people all things shall be finished.

Which then comes the end when the Son delivers up the kingdom to God and then He will put down all power, rule, and authority, which the heathen do not continue anymore.

Which Paul said the saints will not be gathered unto Christ until the man of sin claims to be God.

The resurrection cannot happen before the 7 years period ends for the heathen continue.

It is the end at the resurrection and the heathen do not continue.

Also God is allowing the world 7 years to go against the truth but if the saints are not on earth then how did the world go against the truth.

When the saints are resurrected then the wrath of God will be poured upon the heathen leading up to the battle of Armageddon when Jesus comes back with the saints and defeats the world and saves Israel.

The millennial reign will begin which the kingdom will be restored to Israel and Jesus will rule out of Jerusalem over the heathen that God spared which they have to go up to Jerusalem to worship Jesus and keep the feast of tabernacles.

No government will be in operation except Israel.

Jesus said until heaven and earth pass away the law will be fulfilled which includes all the offices of Israel.

Jesus did not fulfill the role of King which must be done on earth which He came as a humble servant.

The millennial reign is when Jesus fulfills the role of King on earth.

And at the end of the millennial reign the law has been fulfilled and the earth and heaven will pass away.

Which the earth shall be burned up and all the works of if.

And the heavens shall melt with fervent heat.

The dead shall rise and be judged.

Death and hell shall be cast in to the lake of fire.

Which the wicked shall go in to the lower parts of the earth which is hell.

So the earth shall be cast in to the lake of fire where it is burned up.

God said He is creating a new heaven and earth and the former shall not be remembered nor come to mind.

Which is the place Jesus went to prepare.

The New Jerusalem wherein dwells righteousness where sin has never been and sin will never be and the angels and the saints will remember anything prior to that for itis associated with sin and rebellion.

You will not remember any people you knew from earth.

This isn’t Biblical. It comes from Hal Lindsey’s book The Late Great Planet Earth as well as the Left Behind series. That is why futurists keep posting speculation concerning what the mark of the beast will be.

God the Father decides when this world will end.

[Mat 24:36, 44 KJV] 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. ... 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
 
Matthew, is written from the Jewish perspective, hence “kingdom of heaven” most often for “kingdom of God”. Of Matthew, Mark and Luke, only Matthew refers to the end of the world, or age. Jesus was speaking to Jews, still living under the OT religion, the Old Covenant. Since Jesus is answering the question about when the destruction of the temple of the Old Covenant religion was to be destroyed, the “world” or “age” referred to speaks end of the Old Covenant religion, of which the temple was the central to their system.

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matt 24:1-3, KJV)

The first part of the question of the disciples, a complete sentence in itself is about “when?”

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matt 24:34, KJV)

That answer of when is repeated exactly in Mark and Luke, and Luke adds another key to timing:

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” (Luke 21:20, KJV)

The siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple was in 70 AD and the years leading up to it, and that was within the generation of those to whom he was speaking.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matt 24:14, KJV) [According to Paul, this happened when he, Paul, was still living:]

“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” (Rom 1:8, KJV) [The gospel had to be preached in all the world for there to be faith spoken of thoughout the whole world.] Paul said additionally, “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” (Col 1:23, KJV)

Jesus turned from speaking of “this generation” of v34, to “that day” referring to the last day the day of resurrection and judgment:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt 24:36-39, KJV)

THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF WARNING LEADING UP TO THE LAST DAY, THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST TO RESURRECT HIS SAINTS AND JUDGE THE WORLD. JESUS GAVE SEVERAL SIGNS FOR THE JEWS TO WATCH FOR AS THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE APPROACHED.
Luke mirrors Matthew 24 so not sure what you're exactly implying.
 
We “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

He came to save His own.. it was always about since the beginning take His word to the world. It has it us always about Israel. We have Muslims that have to get rid of who? Israel to kill all of them. There is a 7 year tribulation ..opps 3 year tribulation.. sorry 1 year.. I think I'm wrong again no great tribulation. Some Jesus coming any moment yeah hope comfort ... no comes at mid...nope comes at the end...nope does no caught up. Before this though we have the fallening away.. or we have the departure where Church goes up then lawless one comes or like before fallen away. Shall I go on?

So duh there is no mention of 1000 year rain in the bible but there is 1,000y period known as the "millennium" in the book of Revelation. We need to back up.. Hes coming with His angels as He sets foot on the earth 2nd coming. Now again duh this is the same moment as 1st Thess 4... seems the sweet holy Spirit left out some facts between the two or Jesus was just confused well in 1st Thess says "or we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.: No angels ..but who cares right it has to be the same because ...no one in the word of God quoted Matt in Thess as the same event.

And duh God can't "caught up" any more then 1 person now and then right? He can't "caught up" its standing there you see that buss just about to hit you.. no moving.. no were to run.. it is over then "caught up".

See in all this I have this moment.. I choose to look for Him now never thinking about what will happen in a day I was not promised. I can study.. read talk about but I don't live there I live here right now and this is when He comes. As for 1000y just because I believe that will happen.. I won't be there...and yeah I won't be thinking about it at all. He said I come quickly... this is no man...like the title of this song playing... "lion of Juda" HE does not play games gave us ever moment in our lifes to be ready for Him not to go around trying to make others believe our personal truth.
 
Hello Tablet. Lots of details here, and on the whole spot on. With perhaps a few minor counterarguments.

Before the millennial reign.

God is giving the world 7 years to have their way and go against the truth so He can end sin on earth.
Transgressing the Lord and King's law will be greatly reduced, with the devil's temptations ending for a thousand years, but not all sinning of men and women will end.

There will be true equality and rule under the law of the King, who with His resurrected saints reign over the earth with rods of iron. Those rebelling and not coming for the feast of tabernacles will be punished. (Zech 14) And false prophets will be put to death. (Zech 13)

Before the millennial reign.
The New Age Christ, antichrist will push the agenda of the new age and things will change drastically. And he will prepare the world for when he claims to be God.

The first truly worldwide false religion, since the time of Nimrod, with the last great worldwide wrath of man upon the saints of God.

For the first three and one half years salvation is available to the world.
The ministry of the two witnesses will be that long. Which ends with their death, resurrection, and ascension into the air. Which could well be the rapture of all the church with them, to meet the Lord in the air.


This war is so terrible that they accept the New Age Christ as the solution for peace on earth.
Not the first time nations have accepted an imperial Caesar for Pax Gaia...Peace on earth, dominion over men.

The New Age Christ will claim to be God and their savior.
Correct. And also not the first time Jews and Christians have idolized their Pastor-Leader-Christ...

The first one we know of named Diotrephes, was rebuked by John for taking the Lord's power of His church, to rule as a lord himself:

3Jo 1:9
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

1Pe 5:1
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a rea, Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.


Which Paul said the saints will not be gathered unto Christ until the man of sin claims to be God.
This is true. It's the one sure word, that forestalls Jesus returning again.

However, since lesser antichrists, beginning with Diotrephes, have already cyclically come, then the warning to watch for the Lord coming with power through the sky, has remained practical and fresh through the churches of God on earth.



When the saints are resurrected then the wrath of God will be poured upon the heathen leading up to the battle of Armageddon when Jesus comes back with the saints and defeats the world and saves Israel.

Correct. Only that Jesus will have already come back to earth to meet with His saints in the air. They all then descend upon the armies around Armageddon.

It's the legions of angels, that follow Jesus out of heaven to earth. They will escort the saints rising to meet Jesus at His coming.


The millennial reign will begin which the kingdom will be restored to Israel and Jesus will rule out of Jerusalem over the heathen that God spared which they have to go up to Jerusalem to worship Jesus and keep the feast of tabernacles.
Well said. The inheritance of land promised to Abraham personally, will at that time be given to resurrected Abraham, and his remaining natural seed.

They will finally be the holy nation and priests to the LORD Himself for all nations, which they had turned back from so long ago at the mount in Ex 19.

No government will be in operation except Israel.
Specifically, the only government will be the Lord Jesus and His resurrected saints ruling over all the cities of earth. The Lord Himself governing from His glorious throne of David in Jerusalem.

And so, yes, it will be the government of the past, present, and future Israel of God, with Jesus' Himself governing King and Head.

Jesus said until heaven and earth pass away the law will be fulfilled which includes all the offices of Israel.

The offices of national Israel ceased with the Testament and law of Moses, at the death of the LORD God of Israel at the cross. However, there will once again be national law and holy services under the King, as prophesied in Ezek 40-.


So the earth shall be cast in to the lake of fire where it is burned up.
I don't read that specifically. This heavens and earth will be consumed with fire, and flee from the face of the Lord, and pass away. Death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire.

You will not remember any people you knew from earth.

That certainly appears to be the result of having all tears wiped away, though nothing is specifically mentioned of forgetting everything going before.

Which is not true at least for everything, since the Lamb will be with God, who is Himself the eternal reminder of what God had to do Himself on the old earth, so that He could dwell with man in a new heaven and earth for ever.
 
Jesus returns to judge and rule, not destroy

He is actually going to destroy some folks as in cast them in to hell

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power



I have my doubts it will like in the time of John Calvin

Calvin the flaming heretic!
