THE TRIBULATION, JUDGMENT, AND THE MILLENNIUM

THE END OF THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION

Matthew 24:29-31 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:  and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Revelation 19:11-13 - And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.  And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.

THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS BASED UPON THEIR
TREATMENT OF ISRAEL DURING THE TRIBULATION

Matthew 25:31-46 - When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:  and before Him shall be gathered all nations:  and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:  and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 
       Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  for I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:  naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.
       Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee?  Or thirsty, and gave Thee drink?  When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in?  Or naked, and clothed Thee?  Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?
       And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.  Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  for I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink:  I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in:  naked, and ye clothed Me not:  sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
       Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee?
       Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:  but the righteous into life eternal. 

[Note:  Because the next event in Bible Prophecy is the Millennial Kingdom (1000 year reign of Jesus Christ on earth), I believe these who are assured of eternal life, enter the Millennium and remain faithful during their lifetime; it is their children, grandchildren, etc. who rebel against the Lord in Revelation 20:7-10.]

AND THEN I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH....

IF YOU HAVE TRUSTED IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST FOR YOUR SINS,
IF YOU BELIEVE HE WAS BURIED AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD,
THEN, AND ONLY THEN, DOES NONE OF THE ABOVE APPLY TO YOU!
BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS WILL BE GONE WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENS!
