[added Dec. 2021 :
hell is definitely real – having SEEN the flames below ;
our careful question is ,
“would God not – at some point in the far future –
just do away with hell and every being inside it …?” ;
not because we would be sorry for satan or Esau
but just that those monsters would be even blotted out of memory ;
… perhaps we are wrong – then He will show that ,
we just question and try to understand]
[12 nov 2012 :
considered Esau’s numerous henchmen
who devised / promote / execute that damned chimera 666 jab
we HOPE that there is an eternal lake of fire for them —- forever ! ]
Satan bound 1000 years
during which Eden rules ;
then : (+the tricky theme
about ‘the 2nd death’)
Satan mobilizes the demon
nations for his final attack
[2021-08aug.24/26]
- what is NOT being said here :
- – there is NO “heavenly Jerusalem coming down to earth , replacing the present one”,
that is totally against prophets ; - – there is NO “satan and Gog attacking a beloved city – suggesting a Jerusalem on earth”;
- – there is NO “heavenly Jerusalem with 12 gates / 12 foundations / 12 jewels” etc ;
contents of this page :
- A) introduction : buildup of this chapter
- B) fulltext (click)
- C) restored Greek text + notes (click)
- D) who or what is ‘Satan’ , see bottom of index
the 1000 years :
1) starting when satan is bound :
… after the Beast with his army tried to attack Heaven , see Armageddon chapter ,
his army will lay slain upon the eastland
while the beast itself (-and his two frogs) is thrown into the fiery lake ;
now also the dragon is imprisoned – and eden paradise starts :
2) eden paradise restored – and she has peace for a 1000 years :
… John sees ‘the restored eden paradise’ ,
declared as “the dwellingplace for My people – and I will dwell among them” ;
at this point , Esau went insane again ,
adding almost half a chapter (!) about his own “new Jerusalem theme”
(because he wanted to make sure that christians would link it to ‘this earthly Jerusalem’) ;
the thing however is
that prophets only mention “the restored eden land” and “the temple” upon her ,
and virtually nothing about a city in eden ;
therefore we maintained both the restored land and the temple (per Ezekiel) ,
having integrated “that eden is now in the north” – as an important theme in prophets ;
sub 2) : but “only all the saved-souls during history” will dwell there :
… KJV uses the term “resurrection”
but “restoration” would cover it better – as ‘restored within her Original’ ;
while the identification of the group of souls who is nót part of that
may be “as the people who died during earth’s history ,
but whose soul was not allowed to go to Heaven (-directly)” —
… you understand we phrase carefully
because this type theme exceeds our Legal right … ;
3) at the END of the 1000 years , satan [-and army] will attack eden :
… satan will NOT attack ‘some beloved city’ but “His beloved PEOPLE” ,
and ofcourse it can never be about ‘earth’ because she’s long destroyed by now ;
2.
the ‘deceiving’ :
… understood as “deceiving the demon-nations to go war against eden” ,
where the 1000 year Interval must be some type ‘Truce’ ;
it is possible that the demon-nations have some type ‘Legal right to exist’ ,
but that this right is anulled after they factually will attack eden ;
3.
eden – as ‘bridgehead’ ? :
… tricky – but probably related to the situation of the south-land
(see diagram in Ezekiel and Armageddon page, and others) ;
of this south-land ,
the eastern side is like “the outskirt of Heaven” ,
and the evil realm occupied that ‘in order to can feed upón Heaven’
(and , who knows , the evil realm planted their “tree of good and evil” there ,
almost like planting some kind of banner of them …?) ;
this eastern-land (-qdm) “will be holy (-qdsh) to IEUE”
after the armies of the Beast will have been slain there (as Armageddon) :
yet not holy ‘because of the slain’
but likely “because the evil realm will have lost jurisdiction over this east-land” ;
… which would make restored eden as the gate – the fortress – tó the east-land ,
hence attacking hér would be the only option left for satan and his army :
remniscent of the event in Genesis ,
but this time without success ;
4.
the ‘Gog and Magog’ problem :
… we cannot find where these terms come from – IF they are original ;
they seem to address “the demon-nations which still exist after Armageddon”,
but we neither have any idea where these would come from
(while a G-G root makes no sense nor in Spells nor Rg-veda) ;
2 free
4) closing : satan cast in the fiery lake ,
the other souls [-who died in history] judged ,
death itself judged
sub 4) : the ‘second death’ (but what happens with them..?)
… though
we do NOT agree with a concept as “universal reconciliation”,
the last line of this chapter we are unable to restore :
we simply do not knów whether “rejected souls will just cease to exist”,
or if “they will burn in the lake of fire” (and that ‘together with satan’..?) ;
… we tend to the first option ,
also because ‘death itself will be judged ,
but also because “burn in the lake” seems an extremely Harsh sentence to us —
we (thankfully) just lack the Legal right to conclude anything here ;

[Satan bound for 1000 years (‘the Interval’) : eden rules again :]
1.
then I see an angel going forth from Heaven ,
having the key of the abyssmal (-pit) , [<< in south-dimension]
and large chains in his hand ;
2.
and he seizes the dragon , [2 : see introduction]
the serpent of olden ,
which is called Satan the adversary ,
and binds him (for-) a thousand years ;
3.
then he casts him into the abyssmal (-pit) , [<< ‘Dudâel’ in Henoch]
and locks it up by sealing it ;
so that he will not mobilize the nations [=of spirits] anymore [<< see Greek]
until the thousand years will have ended ;
because after these (-years) he must be loosed a short time ;
[part I b : the restored paradise – in the other reality :]
10. (!) [KJV Rev. 21]
then the angel brings me +
to the sacred mountain of God , [<< carrying paradise]
and shows me the heavenly land which was desolated ,
(now-) having ascended out of the sea [=matrix-dimension] of the beast ;
1. (!)
and I see a new sky and a new land , [many corrupt KJV lines deleted ,
because the former (earthly-) sky see Greek text and introduction]
and the former (earthly-) land have passed away ;
2.
and I John look at the new heavenly land ,
having been restored by God ,
now prepared as the adorned dwellingplace ;
3.
then I hear a loud voice out of Heaven saying :
behold ! , the garden of God for His people , [<< Genesis]
where He will dwell amongst them ;
and they will be His people ,
and God himself will be the deity for them ;
4.
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes ,
and there will be no more death ,
nor sorrow , nor painful emotions , nor suffering anymore :
because the former things will have passed away” ;
[next : land + temple]
11.
then the angel shows me the foundations of the (eden-) land ,
having been made of every kind of precious stones ; [11 : att. in prophets]
11b.
I also see the temple of God , +
15. (!) [15 : Ezekiel]
and the angel has a golden (?) reed
for to measure the temple and the outer court thereof ; +
16.
and the temple lies foursquare
for the length is the same like the width ; [<< rest : deleted = corrupt]
1. (!) [KJV Rev. 22]
then he shows me a river of water of life , clear as crystal ,
flowing out of the temple of God towards the east ; [1 : Ezekiel]
2.
and where she deepens (?) ,
on both sides of the river are trees of life (?) ,
producing their fruits every single month ; [<< attested in prophets]
and the people of God
will rejoice in them forever ; [<< bit unsure]
[part II : the ‘1000 years’ + the tricky ‘resurrection’ theme :]
5. (!) [KJV Rev. 21:5]
then the angel says to me :
now , after God will have restored all His people , +
4. (!) [KJV Rev. 20]
[a-b-c : skipped ; was needed in a previous chapter]
4d.
they will live and reign with Christ a thousand years ; +
5.
but the rest of the dead + [<< died on earth during history]
will not be revived [=their soul] until the thousand years have ended ,
(and these will nót take part in-) this first resurrection / restoration ;
6.
therefore , blessed be the souls +
who will have part in this resurrection / restoration :
over these the second (-and final) death (-of the soul) has no authority ,
because they will be the people of God ,
and they will reign with Christ a thousand years ;
[part II b : after the 1000 years , satan will attack again :]
7.
now , when the thousand years will have ended ,
satan will be released out of the abyssmal pit ;
8.
and he will go forth to deceive the nations [=of spirits]
in the four corners of the sea ; [<< Negative dimension]
as mobilizing Gog (?) and Magog (?) for the war ,
whose number is like the sand of the sea ;
9.
and they will ascend (!) to the (eden-) land in the north , [<< not : ‘city’ !]
as encircling the dwellingplace of the beloved people of God ;
but He will make fire out of heaven to come down upon them [=’G+M’] ,
which will devour all of them ;
10.
yet the adversary (-himself) that deceived them
will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone ,
where the beast and the two frogs (?) are ; [<< no ‘false prophet’]
and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever ;
[part II c : the ‘second death’ – and death itself judged :]
11.
then I see a great white throne ,
and before the face of the one sitting on it
will appear the souls +
who had nót been part of the first resurrection / restoration ;
13. (!)
because death and [=as?] the underworld
deliver up the souls that were in them , +
c.
as the people who died in former times ;
d.
for each will be judged according to her [=soul] works ;
12.
then I see the souls , small and great , standing before God ,
and the books are being opened ,
while another book is opened which is the one of Life ;
and the souls are judged according to their works
which have been written in the book ;
[closing : last line : unsure]
14-c.
and this is the second (-and final) death (-for those souls) :
15.
whoever was not found written in the scroll of life +
was cast into the lake of fire , [+ and brimstone]
together with death and [=as?] the underworld ,
14-b.
(..and none of them was found anymore (?)…) [<< but see introduction]

in the last part of this chapter Satan will make a final attempt to invade Eden ,
by “mobilizing (the nations of spirits)” ;
that he does this ‘by deceiving them’
may mean “that the demonic realm has a legal right to exist” ,
but not anymore if they all will go attack eden ;
