The Two Final Battles Before Judgment, found in the Book of Revelation.
Heaven and earth will pass away and the new heaven and the new earth will descend from heaven.
The two major battles before humanity is brought before judgment. The Battle of Armageddon (1st battle) and the Battle of Gog and Magog (2nd and final battle). Armageddon marks the end of human rebellion and the start of Christ's 1,000 reign on earth (Jerusalem), while the final battle occurs after Satan is released to deceive humanity (outside of Christ’s camp) one last time.
Timing: These are the two final battles against the army of God and all will witness.
Armageddon: Occurs at the end of the 7-year Tribulation, the beast and false prophet are casted into the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 19:20). Satan and his demon’s are casted (bound/sealed) into the abyss for 1,000 years. Blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection for they will be with Christ during the 1,000 year reign on earth.
We know that those who are alive, after the Tribulation will join Christ, along with those who died in Christ and meet him in the air, and reign 1,000 years, in Jerusalem, on earth.
Many will remain in their graves until judgment, which includes the good deeds but lost in Christ, and the “lukewarm”.
Jesus Christ and the Saints at camp (Jerusalem), on earth for 1,000 years.
Then:
Gog/Magog (Revelation 20: 7-10): A separate, final rebellion occurring after the 1,000-year Millennium, Satan and his demon’s are freed from the abyss and gathers the nations to do battle against God. Could you imagine those being deceived by Satan to surround the camp of Christ for battle? Satan will gather humanity (four corners of the earth) and plot, to destroy the encampment of Jesus Christ after Satan/demons are released from bondage?
Then: Humanity is brought to judgment.

There is no magical rapture that is being taught in the church’s. When Christ returns those who are remaining will be caught up! Cowards are not welcomed in heaven! The Bible makes it clear that many false anti-Christs will come in the name of Jesus Christ and will try to deceive the elect (Matthew 24:24). We must pick up our cross, even as the world will hate the Christian and carry our cross with faith, completely trusting and relying on God, through Jesus Christ. Amen and amen.
