Perhaps those who are assigned the teaching jobs during the millennium will be able to use electronic war footage scenes on DVD format to explain what war was like? What I can’t comprehend is this passage below ... in a perfect environment of peace and the Lord Jesus ruling ... at the end ... many (as the sand of the sea) will revolt against God and follow satan. I reckon at the Great White Throne judgment the unsaved can’t plead and use the excuse “well if we only had a peaceful environment we would have believed and followed” because Jesus will say nope .. and will show them what happened at the end of the millennium period and the sinfulness of man’s heart in rejecting Him and choosing to revolt and follow satan. I wonder what satan is going to promise them? Also what did he promise the fallen angels as well? Higher rank? :unsure: This shows there always was just a small remnant of believers down through the ages and will continue that way ... even during the millennium. Revelation 20: 7- 9 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 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. 9 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. The problem lies in the fact that Satan appeals to our senses and desires. God has always taught that we default to His! TR Geri, it's not hard to guess what Satan's final lie will be to the world. He really hasn't changed his basic deception since the beginning. We hear it all the time: "We can do better. It's time for a change!" I think the "Millennials" (the true ones of that age) will resent being governed by immortals with a "rod of iron." They will imagine a world in which they are free to rebel against God and enjoy the blessings of a perfect environment. Nothing ever really goes away, it just gets recycled with new terms. Indeed rebellion is manifested in many ways. The common denominator is (self), what can I get out of it! What's in it for me? TR Good point ... the devil uses the same tricks promising those that follow and worship him “they will become a “god” or “goddess” in this world with temporary fame and fortune. Sadly many unsaved sell their souls because they crave it and they think this life is all there is.
