PART 1
On this thread, which may take several days to complete, I am going to show from Scripture what happens after Jesus returns and defeats Satan, the antichrist, and False prophet, Abysses Satan and casts the antichrist and false prophet into the lake of fire.
I understand scripture using the literal/historical/grammatical hermeneutic and accept that when Scripture uses symbols, the bible itself defines those symbols or apocalyptic visions. I will not always be chronological, but will seek to keep it topical. Having said that Let me begin. Also, I will just list teh verses , to keep the posts under the 10,000 word limit.
THE BASIS FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
Lev:26:40-42, Jer. 3:11-18, Hosea 5:15 Israel as a nation must confess 1 iniquity (The national rejection of Jesus as Messiah in Matt. 12)
Zech 12:10 mourn for the one they pierced.
Matt. 23:37-39 Cry Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
As is stated in REv. 12, The antichrist will go after Christians and Jews to commit genocide. Israel is to flee as stated in Matt. 24 and Rev. 12 to a place prepared for her. It is known as Bozrah and Petra. This is where the antichrist will march after He gathers his forces at Armageddon and marches to destroy the Jews, He does this for his father knows if he can destroy the jews, there will be no Jews left to cry blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
This is brought out in Isaiah:
Isaiah 63
63 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
The region of Petra is in Edom, which is modern day Jordan. Jer. 49:13-14, Is. 34:1-7, Hab. 3:3, Micah 2:12-13, Judges 4:4-5 Seir, Paran, and Edom are all around Petra.
It is at the end of the 7 year tribulation that the nation of Israel as a nation gets saved.
Hos. 6:1-3, Joel 2:28-32, zech 13:7-9
Jesus fights the armies of the antichrist from Petra all the way back to the kidron valley: Joel 3:12-13, Rev. 14:19-20, Jer. 49:20-22
Jesus then ascends the mount of olives: Zech 114: 3-4a.
THE SEVENTY FIVE DAY INTERVAL:
In the book of Daniel, in chapter 12 we see the second half of the trib (the taking away of the sacrifice and the abomination set up) which is 1260 days as also spoken of in Daniel 9 and implied in Rev. 12 and Matt. 24. But Daniel 12 speaks of 1290 days (30 days longer) and then those blessed who last to the 1335 days( 75 days). Does the bible speak of what happens in the first 30 days after and then the 75 days? It does.
30 days to remove the abomination from the temple Dan.12:11
Tossing the Antichrist and false prophet alive into th elake of fire Rev. 19:20
Tossing Satan into the Abyss Rev. 20:3
Judgment of the nations (gentiles) Joel 3:1-3, Matt25:31-45
Resurrection of OT saints Is. 26:19, Dan 12:2
Resurrection of the tribulation saints Rev. 20: these comprise the first resurrection named in Rev. 20::5-6
Part One describes where and why Jesus returns, the campaign of Armageddon, no battle is actually fought there, it is just the place where the antichrist marshalls his forces teh same way teh allied marshalled their forces in England for D-Day, and things to take place in the seventy five days after jesus returns.
Part 2 to come.
