Now, at the very last, and for a fleeting moment, we see the world’s stage populated with examples of every kind of sempiternal being God has ever created. Only the unsaved dead are absent. We see the redeemed in Christ in their beautiful resurrection bodies. We see a combination of saved and unsaved natural human beings living out their lives in mortal bodies amidst God’s newly refashioned Edenic Earth. We see God’s Holy Angels serving our Lord on the earth as well as in Heaven.
Additionally, I think we’ll see the innumerable multitude of human babies who were aborted before birth throughout the ages. I believe in God’s infinite love for these incarnated souls, and it will be tasked to the redeemed to nurture, instruct, and love them in the Millennium.
And finally, we see Satan with his rebellious fallen brothers and all their demonic creations, along with the spirits of the Nephilim, unbound from the pit they had occupied for a thousand years. For a brief flicker of time, God has repopulated the earth with every kind of sentient soul-bearing being he has ever created – from Adam & Eve to the last soul saved by grace before the end of this last dispensation.
The human family thrives upon the earth. Unafflicted by Satan’s influences and ruled by our Lord Jesus Christ and redeemed saints, natural humanity has no excuses to appeal for the final revelation of their wicked hearts. And the earth, too, is in its last iteration, having gone through a created perfect Eden, the Fall into sin and corruption, the catastrophic Flood of Noah, and now the aging post-flood world in which we find ourselves.
Beyond this, our planet will have experienced the upheavals of the Great Tribulation, almost unthinkable in its scope and measure of divine devastation. Without God’s last gracious intervening to remake the world suitable for his Millennium Kingdom and the purposes it must serve, the last act in God’s original creation could not be played out. Because the armies of Satan are to be defeated by the breath of his spoken word over the climactic battlefield surrounding Jerusalem.
God breathed life into Adam at the beginning of Genesis, and he became a living soul, the father of all mankind. So too now will God’s breath become the instrument of death in this final book for mankind.
Second Thessalonians 8 says, “The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth.”
And Revelation 20:9 tells us of the rebellious army’s fate; “and fire came down from Heaven and consumed them.” God’s last spoken word to unsaved humanity on Earth.
Following all this will commence the judgment of the unsaved. Immediately after that, there will be made a new Heaven and a new Earth for the Eternal State of the human family and God’s Holy Angels to enjoy the presence of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ forever.
Praise God! We will be living witnesses to all these events!
