Day 7 – REST

THE SEVENTH DAY

Genesis 2:1-3
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” 

THE 7th THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD

As you have discovered from Day 1 through Day 6, God’s prophecy has been accurate for the past 6,000 years. The coming 1,000 years, or the 7th thousand-year period, will be a period of rest reflecting that of the 7th Day of creation.

God does not want you to be ignorant! As events unfold, keep your ears and eyes open. God has no intention to leave you in the dark – literally and figuratively. Eternity is a long time to be wrong.

“But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [Not sure he could have been more clear.] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:8-9

Timeline of the 7,000 Years Prophecy

1st thousand-year period = 0 (Creation) -999
2nd thousand-year period = 1000-1999
3rd thousand-year period = 2000-2999
4th thousand-year period = 3000-3999
BIRTH OF CHRIST
5th thousand-year period = 4000-4999 (0-999 on our calendar)
6th thousand-year period = 5000-5999 (1000-1999 on our calendar)
7th thousand-year period = 6000-7000 (2000-2999 on our calendar)

There were 4,000 years before Christ was born and 2,000 years have passed since he was born. Therefore, 6,000 years have passed according to Biblical history. Matching the Genesis prophecy, the first 6 days have passed and we’re already 24 years into the 7th day which, according to Biblical prophecy, begins the 7th thousand-year period on this earth.

END TIMES TIMING

A study of God’s word reveals more details about the 7th Day, or last 1,000 years on earth and the transition into it, than any other time since creation.

The Old Testament prophet Hosea wrote: After two days he will revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then we shall know, if we follow on to know the Lord, that his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:2-3

Does this match God’s 7-day prophecy in Genesis? YES. According to Hosea, after two days (2,000 years after Christ was born) he will revive us, and in the third day (the 3rd thousand-year period after Christ was born) we would be raised up.

Hosea’s prophecy couldn’t apply to Christ rising from the grave on the third day, because it says he will “raise us up”, not Jesus. But if we combine 2 Peter 3:8-9 and Hosea 6:2-3, we can say that two thousand years after Jesus’ birth (the 5th and 6th thousand-year periods) he will revive us; in the third thousandth year (7th thousand-year period) he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight – if we follow and know and follow him as Lord.

The last 3 of the 7 Feasts of God, the Fall Feasts, depict what has been referred to as the ‘End Times’. It will be a tremendously challenging period as God transitions the world as it is now into a spiritually peaceful kingdom here on earth for the next 1,000 years. We serve a unique and intentional God who has not abandoned us, but has given specific instructions regarding our future. The Old Testament prophets have highlighted what to expect, when, and why, where we will be, what we will do, what kind of rest, and who will be our leader, our king.

The period from Adam to Abraham was 1948 years. God called Abram out of his country to go to a land God promised, a land flowing with milk and honey that would become the birth of God’s nation, Israel. Through God’s strategic plan, the 12 tribes were exiled from their country until May 14, 1948, when Israel signed it’s Declaration of Independence. Is it a coincidence that the year was 1948 that God brought his people back into the nation he promised Abraham? Coincidence? Not a coincidence? You decide.

“Now, learn a parable of the fig tree: When its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So likewise, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:32-35.

God is clear. Israel is the fig tree. The generation born in 1948, the rebirth of Israel, will not pass until all these things (described in Matthew 24) are fulfilled.

So, how long is a generation? The Bible says, “The days of our years are threescore and ten (70); and, if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore (80) years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10

1948 = This generation shall see Christ
+  80 = A generation – Psalm 90:10
2028
–     7 = Years of Tribulation 
2021

Note: Some have suggested that Christ’s ministry did not last three years, but only one. During his ministry, there is an accounting of Christ attending only one each of the 7 Festivals (7 Feasts of God), not three separate years of 7 feasts. Jesus attended Passover once; the second time, he was the Passover offering, the Lamb of God slaughtered on the cross. Therefore, if this is true, and for other unknown reasons, the above timing may be a little off, but still very close.

As you can see, using the data from Matthew 24:32-35 along with the ‘proposed’ guess of a generation being 80 years from Psalm 90, we’re very close to the Rapture and Great Tribulation.

God’s promise, his word, is that this current generation will see the coming of Christ. Prior to this special Millennium will be a worldwide preaching of God’s word that all nations will hear. This global revival will be followed by the rapture of God’s people, which will usher in a 7-year period of severe tribulation such as the world has never seen.

PENSIVE INTERLUDE

“Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

“And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:12-14

“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
Isaiah 45:19

END TIMES BREAKDOWN

THE PROBLEM

The severity of the End Times we’re facing is because we have forgotten God and his commandments, provoking and unleashing his anger and judgment upon us. This isn’t the first time.

“God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So, they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.  “The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone’s secret life. This is my message.”
Romans 1:18-20; 2:16

“Who can stand before [God’s] indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place and darkness shall pursue his enemies.” Nahum 1:6-8

An appalling and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:30

“Behold, the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:21

“How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them. Therefore, said the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies.” Isaiah 1:21-24

“Behold, your people in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open to your enemies…” Nahum 3:13

“Her mightiest warriors no longer fight. They stay in their barracks, their courage gone. They have become like women. The invaders have burned the houses and broken down the city gates.” Jeremiah 51:30

“Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses; I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.” Ezekiel 7:24-25

“…Therefore, I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.” Ezekiel 28:7

“Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.” Lamentations 5:2

“Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness; and say unto the people of the land, Thus said the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; ‘They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with consternation, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell in it.”‘ Ezekiel 12:17

“For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.” Lamentations 4:6

“The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:5

Son of man, say to her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shone difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.” Ezekiel 22:24-29

“A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women; a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.” Jeremiah 50:37

The rich men are full of violence, and the inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you; in making you desolate because of your sins.” Micah 6:12-13

“The Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery they break out, and blood touches blood.” Hosea 4:1-2

“Therefore, the Lord has rejected his people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.” Isaiah 2:6

“And at that time, shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.Daniel 12:1

“The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, said the Lord, which stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:1-3

“Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shone. You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before you according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For you have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.” Isaiah 9:1-4

“The Lord said, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They will lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against you, O daughter of Zion. We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble; anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. I have set you for a tower and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way. They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders; they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melts in vain; for the wicked are not plucked away. Jeremiah 6:22-29

1st RAPTURE

The 5th Feast of God, The Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah. It is a two-day feast, the first of the 3 Fall Feasts. In the Old Testament this memorial of blowing trumpets occurred at the end of the fall harvest. At the sound of the trumpets, farmers dropped what they were doing and came from the fields to the temple to praise God for his abundant provisions.

The Feast of Trumpets is also a prophetic type and refers to the coming harvest of God’s people, called the Rapture. The great interval between the feasts of Pentecost (4th Feast) and Trumpets (5th Feast) represents time allowed for the work of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 24:36 expounds, “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.” But Please Note: The Feast of Trumpets is a 2-day feast and, due to the number of time zones around the world, no one can ‘know’ the exact day or hour of this first rapture, but we definitely can see the signs of the times.

ATONEMENT

The 6th Feast of God, Yom Kippur, or ‘Day of Atonement’, is the holiest day of the Jewish year, and provides prophetic insight regarding the Second Coming of the Messiah, the restoration of national Israel, and the final judgment of the world. It is a day of atoning, repenting, being “at one” with God.

“And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.” Luke 12:4-5

TRIBULATION

Following the Day of Atonement will be a 7-year spiritual battle for souls between Satan and God. The purpose for this last 7-year battle is a ‘last call’ for all Jews to return to God. Exhaustive and horrific details regarding this Tribulation are nested within the Old Testament and its prophets. For a brief synopsis of the reasons, click Because. The battle will end as Jesus, the Christ, the visible image of the invisible God, steps in and by his word, the Sword of the Spirit, ends Satan’s reign on earth.

2nd RAPTURE

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people who shall be left…”. Isaiah 11:11.

It would appear that just prior to the end of the 7-years of the Great Tribulation, there will be a second Rapture alluded to in Isaiah 11:11, as it refers to “in that day” which previously has pointed toward this time of tribulation. We find in 1 Thessalonians 4:16: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” I would not recommend waiting for the 2nd Rapture to choose to accept Christ.

TRIBULATION OVER
CONVERSATION DONE!

 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

“Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before…” 2 Samuel 7:10

“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14

This is a vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all—the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship. People from many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem. The Lord will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore.”

THE MILLENNIUM
aka THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES

The 7th Feast of God, the Feast of Tabernacles, is referred to as the “Coming Home” Feast. It first began when God led the Israelites out of Egypt and demonstrated his power to protect them in the desert and within his Tabernacle, bringing them back to the Promised Land, the land God promised Abraham.

Every prophet in the Old Testament, with the exception of Jonah, described at least some part of the Millennium, or 7th Day Prophecy. There are way too many portions to publish but following are some great examples. For the sake of understanding, please know that End Time references to Judah refer to the Jews and references to Israel refer to the Christians. The title “Christians” includes anyone who has accepted, and become joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. See Restoring the Two Houses of Israel by Edie Chumney. Ezekiel 37:15-17

God will transform the world as we know it now into a spiritually peaceful kingdom here on the earth. The 3rd temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt and Jesus will sit on the throne for all to come and see (Ezekiel 40-48). “Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.” Revelation 20:5.

During the 4-thousandth year, the desire of God’s heart was revealed with great clarity. God wanted to be the king of his people. But they didn’t want him. They wanted a king like all the other nations. Finally, during the last 1,000 years on earth, God will be our king. In Jerusalem, Christ, the image of the invisible God, will be on the throne; he will be our government.

“Say among the nations that the Lord reigns. The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved; he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the forest rejoice before the Lord; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.”
Psalm 96:10-13

“Thus said the Lord God; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they shall dwell with confidence when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” Ezekiel 28:25-26

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” Daniel 2:44

“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.” Jeremiah 3:17-18

“This is what the Lord said; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain. Thus said the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Thus said the Lord of hosts; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? said the Lord of hosts. Thus said the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus said the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbor. But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, said the Lord of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.” Zechariah 8:3-12

“I will make a covenant of peace with my people and drive away the dangerous animals from the land. Then they will be able to camp safely in the wildest places and sleep in the woods without fear. I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing. The orchards and fields of my people will yield bumper crops, and everyone will live in safety. When I have broken their chains of slavery and rescued them from those who enslaved them, then they will know that I am the Lord. They will no longer be prey for other nations, and wild animals will no longer devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will frighten them. “And I will make their land famous for its crops, so my people will never again suffer from famines or the insults of foreign nations. In this way, they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them. And they will know that they, the people of Israel, are my people, says the Sovereign Lord. You are my flock, the sheep of my pasture. You are my people, and I am your God. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” Ezekiel 34:25-31

“Behold! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my people. And the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no more. “No longer will babies die when only a few days old. No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be considered old at one hundred! Only the cursed will die that young! In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards. Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and confiscate their vineyards. For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains. They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. For they are people blessed by the Lord, and their children, too, will be blessed. I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. But the snakes will eat dust. In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Isaiah 65:17-25

See Also: Jeremiah 23:3-8; Jeremiah 30:18-24; Jeremiah 31; Jeremiah 33:13-26; Joel 3:18-21; Amos 9:11-15; Nehemiah 9:26-32; Micah 4:1-8; Obadiah 19-21; Zechariah 14:8-21; Isaiah 1:24-28, Isaiah 61:2 (2 purposes: then and now).

Final Judgment

At the end of the 7,000th year is the Final Judgment. Those who die before or during the final Tribulation battle – without trusting God – will sleep through the 1,000 years of rest to be raised at the Final Judgment.

“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 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.” John 5:28-29

“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 the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hades delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:12-15

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 20:10

Eternity

After the Final Judgment at the end of the Millennium, a new Jerusalem will descend from heaven, and Eternity will begin for those who trust and follow God. “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. And, I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” Revelation 21: 1-3

“And this is life eternal, that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Revelation 22:7

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
