NO MORE WEAPONS
Wars will cease at the beginning of the millennial kingdom. Isaiah was given a prophetic word that weapons would be converted to domestic tools and there won’t be any need for armies. Isaiah 2:1-4
This will apply to the entire earth as Jesus reigns out of Jerusalem and Satan is chained in the bottomless abyss. Revelation 20:3-4
The entire defense industry worldwide will be dismantled or retooled to produce consumer goods. Airplanes, helicopters and ships for civilian use will be produced, including automobiles, trucks, farming equipment, electronics and other consumer goods.
Since God told Isaiah that men won’t learn war anymore, that means that the skills of making military aircraft, warships, tanks, artillery, rockets, rifles, pistols, and grenades will become a lost art for the human race. After 1,000 years, the arms factories have been dismantled and there isn’t a skilled workforce that can manufacture weapons.
When Satan is loosed out of the bottomless abyss, he will immediately organize his fallen angels and demons to fan out into the whole world to tempt the billions of people who have been born during the millennium. There won’t be time to build weapons factories, nor will there be skilled people to produce advanced weapons. The only option will be to develop a military force with simple weapons like bows and arrows, swords, shields and helmets.
The people living in the land of Israel won’t be trained for warfare either. They won’t have weapons nor will their cities and villages be fortified.
Therefore, the description of Lucifer’s armed forces is accurate. The last war on earth will be fought using technology that dates back to the time of Nimrod, mixed with cargo planes, transport ships and helicopters. Ezekiel 38:4-9
SUPERNATURAL DEFENSE
Jesus is not going to respond to Satan’s show of force by raising His own army and starting a defense industry. Instead, God’s angelic forces will fight with weapons from the spirit world which the Devil and his angels no longer can access. For some reason, Jesus will spare one sixth of Lucifer’s army. Ezekiel 39:1-5; Revelation 20:9
Holy angels from the armed forces of heaven will fly their craft all over the earth, attacking cities and villages that went to war with Jesus. Ezekiel 39:6
Other holy angels will gather the Devil and his minions and cast them into the Lake of Fire. Revelation 20:10
Jesus will once again establish holiness in the land of Israel. Ezekiel 39:7-8
IT’S NOT OVER YET
After this final war is over, there is still some time left from the thousand-year kingdom and the people living in Israel will clean for seven years after millions of soldiers came to Israel, taking time to clear the land and bury the dead. Ezekiel 39:9-16
Jesus will call for all the birds and wild beasts to feast on the corpses of men and horses. verses 17-20
The glory of the Lord shall be re-established among the nations. verse 21
The twelve tribes of Israel will know Jesus as their redeemer and their shame will be removed. verses 22-29
THE END OF THE WORLD
Once the thousand years have passed, Jesus will announce the end has come for humanity to live on the earth. Everyone living on earth is transported to a huge plain in Israel where temporary living quarters are set up.
A giant white throne is built by angels in a newly erected court building. Television cameras are set up in this enormous courtroom and the signal is broadcast to each dwelling place.
Angels set up food production plants that will make food for the people waiting to be judged in the court room. Each dwelling place has cooking facilitates and running water with bathrooms.
Those who died without Christ are resurrected from hell with a body of shame that can feel heat and pain but is indestructible. Daniel 12:1-2; Revelation 20:11-15
Huge cell blocks have been built to house billions of men and women from hell, standing dejectedly with their shameful resurrected bodies. They do not need food or water since these bodies are from the spirit world.
Once all people are in place, the announcement will come that Jesus has taken His seat on the Great White Throne and the judgment will begin with Adam and Eve, followed by people from century to century. The judging process will be quite lengthy; it is conceivable that this judgment will take hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years. Time is not an issue since all the resurrected people have eternal bodies and those born during the millennium do not age.
All the people from hell are judged and sent to the Lake of Fire. The Old Testament believers and all Christians have already been judged in heaven at the Judgment Seat of Christ. They observed the trial of the unsaved people and those who came out of the thousand-year kingdom with Jesus. Those who sided with Satan are sent to the Lake of Fire in shameful changed bodies. Those who remained faithful to Jesus are given beautiful eternal bodies.
Remember, it’s not so important how you begin your life after salvation, but how you finish it!
