Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[G.C. pp 656> 658] After presenting the scenes of the Lord’s second coming and the destruction of the wicked, the prophecy continues: “I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 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….
We do not want to weary you, but the phrase 6000 years is to be found no less than 115 times, and the other related phrase, one thousand years could be found hundreds of times in the prophetic writings. The great and final question to be answered on the world stage has to do with worship, and the contest between the 7th day sabbath, and the 1st day of the week has to be settled forever in everyone’s mind, who will be alive during crunch time.
In our day the blessed hope can only be realized if a person accepts The Lord Jesus Christ, and is willing to keep all of His commandments, by the power of The Holy Ghost. Let no one tell you otherwise, for there are many fanciful interpretations of faith in Christ that talk of love to God without obedience. That perspective is not supported anywhere in the Bible, and individuals who will pass the 1000 year threshold, will need to meet the requirements. The fall of our first parents occurred after they breached the law of God, that’s why they, and no one who came after reached 1000.
Revelation 22:14 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.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
