The belief that the coming of Christ is the end of mankind on earth is contrary to the sequence of events made account by St. John as revealed to him in the Bible.
Jesus Christ will come twice here on earth as explained in the preceeding paragraph.
First phase of the coming of Jesus Christ:
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
A camp of the saints will be put up as a temporary seat of judgment where the location is mentioned in the Bible as "up over the broad plain of the earth" or "up on the breadth of the earth".
The resurrected body of the dead and the living saints who are caught up in the clouds with Jesus Christ shall be the judges of all the living souls remaining on this earth for a thousand years.
Luke 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Luke 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
What will happen to others who are left behind?
They will be given a chance to repent for 1000 years. Some may die others shall not taste death for death shall flee from them.
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
God is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. He will give them the chance to repent & Satan was shut up for 1000 years for them (the left behind) not to reason deception.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
They are of their father the devil. Satan will welcome them for he is set free after a thousand years.
Second phase of the coming of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,Revelation 20:8 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.
Together with his army of evils they surrounded the camp of the saints.
Revelations 20:9 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.Revelations 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
It's time to say, goodbye Earth!
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
To them that overcometh, they will eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. A better country, that is, an heavenly.
The destiny of the unbelievers:
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
