This belief is typical of what many hold to - some truth and some assumptions.
Like you, for example.
1/ Dead believers from all of time, must await the GWT Judgment; after the Millennium. Rev 20:5, John 11:24
Yes, exactly. Amils believe that not only all dead believers, but also all dead unbelievers from all time will be resurrected at the same time to be judged because that is what Jesus taught.
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
2/ The only people whose souls Jesus will bring with Him and resurrect, will be those killed for their faith during the 42 month period of 'beast' world control. Rev 20:4
Nonsense. That contradicts what Paul taught. Do you care about what Paul taught? I don't think you do. In 1 Thess 4:14-17 Paul said it would be the dead in Christ that He brings with Him and He made it clear in the following passage that it will be ALL of the dead in Christ who He will bring with Him and resurrect.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But
every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
3/ The Christians who are alive and remain, will mainly be those who will be kept in a place of safety for those 42 months. Rev 12:14 They will meet the Lord in the clouds [atmosphere] and go with Him to earthly Jerusalem.
No, they will not go with Him to earthly Jerusalem. That is not taught anywhere in scripture. Explain how they will go to Jerusalem after the earth has been burned up:
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. 11 Seeing then that
all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
There is no total destruction of people or the earth when Jesus Returns.
LOL. Are these verses not in your Bible?
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 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,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until
the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
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. 11 Seeing then that
all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “
Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and
the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
He will reign over the earth, in peace and prosperity; the way God always intended His Creation to be. Isaiah 2:2-4
As you so often do, you are taking a scripture passage out of context. Did you somehow miss that Isaiah 2:2-4 is about the last days?
Isaiah 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. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
If you did notice that, did you not bother to check and see when scripture says the last days are?
Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
As you can see here, Peter indicated that the last days had already begun long ago before the day of Pentecost and that day was part of the last days that Joel prophesied about in Joel 2:28-32 which Peter quoted in Acts 2:16-21.
Peter also indicated that the last days would last up until the second coming of Christ:
2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that
there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
The last days will obviously end once He comes since the scoffers can only scoff up until He comes and no one will be scoffing after that.
There were scoffers already back in those days and we still have scoffers today mockingly asking "Where is the promise of his coming"?
Jude 1:17 But, beloved,
remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jude referenced what Peter taught and he called it "the last time" that had already begun back then and we're still in "the last time"/"the last days" today. So, Isaiah 2:2-4 is in reference to the New Testament time period that scripture refers to as "the last days" and not some imaginary time period after Christ returns.
