The truth about Armageddon...

[BroRando]

The Bible describes the events that will occur before and after the identification of Gog of Magog. Most have not yet gained the understanding that Armageddon begins as a Spiritual Event and then Ends as a Literal One. The Last Days are cut short in the sense that Gog of Magog's Attack on God's Named People are stifled and held in check, and 'they will not cause any harm or any ruin in all my holy mountain'. (Isaiah 11:9) This EVENT could very well last 1,000 years while Satan and his demons are put in a deathlike state of inactivity.

ARMAGEDDON is the beginning of Christ’s Millennial Reign. The Great Crowd enters “the times of restoration of all things” that expands to include physical blessings for faithful humans on earth. These one's keep on living as they come out of the Last Days as Survivors. The wicked continue getting sick, growing old, and continue dying. But their death is a permanent one called the second death of an everlasting destruction.

With that said, is it over? No. Jehovah will keep providing protection for the earth by means of his Heavenly Kingdom of Jesus Christ and the 144,000. Notice what occurs at the end of the 1,000 years. "Now as soon as the thousand years have been ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison,  and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea." (Rev 20:7)

The Climax of Armageddon ends with the destruction of Satan and anyone else who rejects Jehovah's Sovereignty after the 1,000 years have passed. Handing the Kingdom back to his God and Father, Jesus will have brought mankind to the same perfect condition that Adam and Eve had prior to sinning. It is possible that the Great Crowd that Survives both the Great tribulation and Satan's final rebellion may be blessed with immortality. I'm not prophesizing this will occur, but all things are possible with Jehovah.

What you purport is confusing. How can what Isaiah wrote further about "the knowledge of Jehovah " filling the whole earth, yet you say wicked will still be alive albeit dying with out hope during those same 1000 years? It is during those yrs that those from the graves, our loved ones are called forth to life, not to be among still living wicked persons which scriptures teaches us is removed due to the war of Armageddon. ALL OF THEM!

Isaiah did not say anything about days being cut short, due to Gog of Magog, Christ made that statement that his Father for the sake of the 'holy ones' would cut short the day's of tribulation. Yet the day for the start of the war will come on time, it will not be late! And during those 1000 years without wickedness or evil influence from any source we survivors and those clawed forth from the dead, will be healed and refreshed and educated from the 'scrolls' opened during that time. 

Then Satan and his demonic brethren will be loosed upon a perfect earth filled with perfect human beings much like Adam and Eve were in the beginning. Then Satan will indeed draw some away after him and they will be destroyed, failing this final test, as John wrote in the Twentieth chapter of Revelation verses seven through ten. That is what the Bible teaches, my friend.

And no, not immortality. Just life eternal. We still have free will, the ability to make choices any, and one could bring about loss of life, just as it did for Adam.
