• Rev 20:6-9 . . Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And
when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
prison,
. . . and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of
the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of
whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
FAQ: That is a very interesting prediction. The thing is: nobody is supposed
to be in the kingdom of God lest they first undergo the regeneration spoken
of by Jesus at John 3:3-8. So who are these rebels the Bible speaks of?
REPLY: They are posterity born to tribulation survivors, viz: life goes on as
usual in the millennial phase of the kingdom of God where the citizenry will
be an amalgam of saved and unsaved, of pious and impious, and of God's
children and the world's children.
* It's remarkable to me that folks born into an era of unprecedented peace
and prosperity will want Jesus deposed and an administration of their own
choosing installed; effectively biting the hand that feeds them: like feral dogs.
I suspect that's when we are going to see the 2nd Psalm come to pass; and it
won't be pretty.
