Little horn is defeated, the judgment follows, and Jesus Christ is King of kings.

• All Inhabitants of the Earth are Judged for What They Have Done.
• Destruction of the Beast behind the Image and Mark of the Beast.
• All Nations Become the Lord’s.

All Inhabitants of the Earth are Judged for What They Have Done. “Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.”

“I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire;A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.” Daniel 7:9-10

A court date has been set for everyone who has ever opposed and committed crimes against God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. For those of us who are living in these times, we are battling the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through a person. It synchronizes a person to the mark of the beast. We are specifically mentioned in the verse below because we overcome the image and the mark of the beast,

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.Revelation 20:4

We will be raised from the dead in the first resurrection and reign with Jesus Christ for a “thousand years” on this earth. Those faithful to God and are still alive during this time will be changed into the immortal body and included in the first resurrection. This is after the Battle of Armageddon and after this present world’s governing system is totally destroyed.

The second resurrection happens after the “1000 years” which is the judgment of everyone who has ever lived. It is the judgment of everyone who has ever opposed God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It definitely includes those who chose to live by the image and mark of the beast. The name of those who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ will be written in the Lambs’ Book of Life, but those who reject Jesus Christ will be thrown into the lake of fire.

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.Revelation 20:11-15

After the second resurrection and the final judgment is completed, then this present heaven and earth will be totally destroyed. A new heaven and earth will be created where the New Jerusalem will exist and that is where we will live eternally in the Paradise of God. This is all written about in Revelation 19 through 22.

Destruction of the Beast behind the Image and Mark of the Beast “I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.” Daniel 7:11-12

The pompous words of the best include saying such things as, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4 and “Then it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.” Revelation 13:6.

The beast, which is the governing force behind the image and mark of the beast is destroyed and thrown into the burning lake of fire. That means the thing which is able to form thoughts, feelings, and behaviors no longer exists. That means the image of the beast which lives and speaks through people is destroyed. Which also brings the end to the mark of the beast. At this time, the other beasts lose their dominion but continue to live on this earth but refuse to repent.

The Fifth Plague Destroys te Power Center of the Beast: Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 16:10-11 and also Revelation 19:20

The other beasts which continue on this earth are very aggressive, hardened, and opposed to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but they no longer have the power of the beast with them. They no longer have uncanny knowledge, no heightened intuition, no extraordinary skills, no amazing physical abilities etc. They are reduced to natural human capabilities and are vulnerable to rebel attacks.

Even in their power loss, they are still aggressive on the grassroots level, still trying to prevent Christ-centered relationships from forming, still sitting as community leaders, and they still have a powerful global military. They do not repent after the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness and they are the source behind the Battle of Armageddon. The Battle of Armageddon is a direct result of the global powers of the beast losing the source of their power. It would be like a worldwide army of armed rebels vs. the once powerful and diminished global government of the beast.

The Sixth Plague is the Battle of Armageddon: Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

Revelation 16:12-16

All Nations Become the Lord’s. “I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14

The power center of the beast is plunged into darkness in the Fifth Plague, the Battle of Armageddon happens in the Sixth Plague, and the Seventh Plague and Seventh Seal relates to Jesus Christ coming back to destroy the earth and establish His eternal kingdom.

Seventh Plague and Seventh Trumpet is the return of Jesus Christ. Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of  His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 11:15-19

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
