The wolf will dwell with the lamb.

[Davy]

Isaiah 11:6-9, says: "The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." This truly is a remarkable scripture! It is a prophecy describing the blessings God's kingdom will bring to the earth when Jesus starts to rule over the earth.

However, many believe that at this point in time, all good people will go to heaven, all bad people will go to hell, and the earth will be no more. This clearly does not fit with this bible prophecy. This is talking about a future point in time when the conditions on the earth will be radically different. The only time such events could take place is when Jesus comes to destroy wicked rebellious people at Armageddon and establish his kingdom on earth. The bible says in Revelation 20:1-3, that Satan who caused the disharmony man has with the beasts of the earth will be put is some kind of prison, where he will not be able to attack humans on the earth. Then Revelation 20:4, Jesus sits down on a throne and he along with all those with him in heaven reign over the earth.

So clearly, not everyone is either going to go to heaven or hell at Armageddon! In fact, the bible shows people will be left on the earth, and these will willingly submit themselves to the reign of Jesus and his co-rulers in heaven. Who are these people and why do they stay on the earth instead of going to heaven? How does a person know if they are part of these people who continue living on the earth? Why are they protected from Satan for 1000 years then tested by him?

Judgement at Armageddon? Saints remain on earth?

Clearly you are confused. It appears that you are baiting the dialog to promote Watchtower doctrines. (Judgement AT Armageddon, Only the 144,000 Jehovah witness "faithful and discreet slaves" go to heaven (have the 'heavenly hope') and all the other Jehovah's witnesses (in good standing in their congregations) will remain on earth to survive Armageddon and pet the critters.)

Listen please.

Jesus (the real Jesus and not some poser angel) is going to come for His Bride (The Church) REAL soon. It is my hope and prayer that it will be THIS YEAR! The Feast of Trumpets this September would be Perfect...

Place your trust in Jesus and you will neither fear Armageddon or Satan.

Dave,

After Armageddon all the survivors of the tribulation judgments will be brought before king Jesus to be judged.

Matthew 25:31-46

31 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:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 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:
35 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:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 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.

41 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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 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.
44 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?
45 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.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

All the righteous will go alive into the kingdom and repopulate the earth.
