The final events are events after the millennial reign. There are four prophetic events:
--The attempted 2nd battle of Armageddon
--The end of the world & the judgement of the dead
--The second resurrection and the second death
--The new world and new Jerusalem
The second battle of Armageddon and final defeat of the devil
After 1000 years are over, the devil will be released from his chains. He will gather an army as vast as the sand of the sea to make war on the saints (the holy city). There really won’t be any war, for God will rain fire from heaven and burn them up. The devil will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20.7-10).
Now by that same word, the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire and are being kept for the day when ungodly people will be judged and destroyed (2 Peter. 3.7).
The end of the world, the judgement of the dead, the second Death & second resurrection.
Then I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. I saw the dead, both unimportant and important, standing in front of the throne, and books were open. Another book was opened—the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their actions, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to their actions. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. (This is the second death—the lake of fire). Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20.11-15).
This is the last judgement of the dead. Every dead person who had lived since the foundation of the world will stand before the judgement throne except those who had already been resurrected. Everyone will be judged by his works. Those who died before the coming of Christ will be judged by their works. Those who did not get to hear the good news of salvation, will be judged by their works. Those who lived after his second return will be judged by their works. All mankind have knowledge of good and evil and thus, all shall be judged by their choice to do good or bad. Those with good works have their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The judgement will be a simple one; if your name is not found in the book of life, you are thrown into the lake of fire where Satan, the beast and the false prophet already are. The second death is the death of the soul.
All those who have their names in the book of life will be resurrected to inhabit the new earth and new heaven. Those whose names are not found in the book of life will be thrown in the lake of fire. The lord Jesus spoke of this judgement in John 5.26-29.
New earth and new heaven
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone (Rev 21:1).
The old earth and heaven will vanish away and a new earth and a new heaven will take its place (2 Peter 3.13). God will live among the people of the earth. He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: there will be no more deaths, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past will be gone.
The new earth will be different from the old one;
--There will be no marriage (Mathew 22.30)
--There will be no seas (Rev 21.1)
--In the new Jerusalem, there will be no night; it will be all day. There will be no need for the sun, for God’s glory will be a shining light (Rev 22.5).
--There will be no more death, pain, weeping or sufferings
New Jerusalem
I also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband (Rev 21.2).
He carried me away in the Spirit to a large, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven. The glory of God was its radiance, and its light was like a valuable gem, like jasper, as clear as crystal (Rev 21.10-11).
It had twelve gates and over the gates was written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. The city walls stood on 12 foundation stones, each one of which bore the name of one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The radiant glory of God was light to the whole city. Thus, the city did not need moon or sunlight. The inhabitants of the earth will come to its light and the kings of the earth will bring it their treasures. Nothing unclean will enter therein, only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life and were resurrected. The throne of God will be in the city and God’s servant will worship him and see him face to face. Rev 21 & 22
New Jerusalem is described as a bride and then as a city with walls and gates. The New Jerusalem is a people, the saints of God. The saints are the bride and they make up the holy city. They will become God’s temple. The bride of Christ will bring to the earth the full glory of God. People will say, “now God dwells among human beings”. The New Jerusalem is completely different from the old Jerusalem.
