                What shall happen before Jesus comes?   
      
   Although the Bible is available so that whoever that can read it, yet   
   most people do not know whom Jesus is. Jesus was not only a prophet   
   that lived 2000 years ago. He is the Creator who has made this earth   
   that we live on. When he comes, he shall restore his kingdom on the   
   earth, and those states that are now existing will get a rapid end. Jesus'   
   arrival and restoration of God's kingdom on the earth, is something so   
   tremendously big and revolutionizing, so that anything such has never   
   earlier happened in the history of the world.   
      
   Before Jesus comes it will happen tremendously much in the world.   
   It has to do with whom Jesus is and why he comes. When Jesus comes,   
   then it is the Creator that comes. He is the Almighty. And all nations   
   of the worlds are against him. Also, the nation Israel is his opponent.   
   The politicians and the military that govern in Israel do not believe in   
   Jesus. They do not believe on New Testament in the   
   Bible.   
      
   When all the nations of the world meet the Almighty God, then it will   
   be a tremendously violent confrontation. "For destruction and   
   irrevocable resolved judgement shall Lord God of hosts let come over   
   the entire earth." Isaiah 10:23 (From the Swedish Bible). "And they   
   shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, for   
   dread of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises   
   up to make the earth tremble." Isaiah 2:19.   
      
   Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel and with wrath and heat   
   of His anger, to lay the land waste. And He shall destroy its sinners   
   out of it. For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not   
   give light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon   
   shall not reflect its light. And I will visit evil on the world, and their   
   iniquity on the wicked ones. And I will cause the arrogance of the   
   proud ones to cease; and I will humble the pride of tyrants. I will   
   make a man more rare than fine gold, and a man more than the pure   
   gold of Ophir. On account of this I will shake the heavens, and the   
   earth shall move out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts,   
   and in the day of the heat of His anger. Isaiah 13:9-13. Zephaniah   
   1:14-18.   
      
   "And the heaven was torn away like a scroll being rolled up. And   
   every mountain and island were torn away out of their places. And   
   the kings of the earth, and the magnates, and the rich ones, and the   
   chiliarchs, and the powerful ones, and every slave, and every free   
   man hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.   
   And "they said to the mountains" and to the rocks, "Fall on us," and   
   hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne, and from the   
   wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of His wrath has come; and   
   who is able to stand?" Rev. 6:14-17. So afraid are they for Jesus.   
   Read also: Isaiah 24:1-6, 19-23. 30:27-33. 51:6. Ezekiel 7th Chapter.   
   Hosea 10:8. Joel 1:15, 2:1-13. Amos. 5:18-24. Zechariah 14:1-7.   
   Malachi 3:1-3.   
      
   After God's judgement, there comes yet to be people left on the earth.   
   Jesus Christ shall, along with his Assembly, govern over them for a   
   thousand years. It becomes a government of its own sort, which equal   
   never before has been on the earth. All members of the Government   
   have heavenly, immortal bodies. The number of Government members   
   can be counted in many million.   
      
   And whenever the thousand years are ended, Satan will be set loose   
   out of his prison, and he will go to mislead the nations in the four   
   corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them into war,   
   whose number is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the   
   breadth of the land and encircled the camp of the saints, and the   
   beloved city. And fire from God came down out of Heaven and   
   devoured them. And the devil leading them astray was thrown into   
   the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet   
   were. And they were tormented day and night to the ages of the ages.   
   Rev. 20:7-10.   
      
   God's kingdom is not only a kingdom for a millennium. It is an eternal   
   kingdom. In the new Jerusalem Jesus Christ and his government will   
   govern in all eternity. Rev. 22:5.
