12. The Millennium

24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. Daniel 9:24

1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for £a thousand years.  Revelation 20:1-5

            At the close of Daniel’s 70^th week, we see Satan bound for 1000-years , the Antichrist and False prophet thrown into the Lake of Fire, and the nations being gathered before Messiah’s throne.

            The Earth during the seven-year tribulation has gone through unequaled period in time.  Unless God intervened, humanity would have been completely destroyed.  During the tribulation period, God allowed man to reach a point of self-destruction. Humanism was fulfilled, man without God, man left to his own nature results in total corruption and destruction.  The seven-year period also concludes with destruction of the environment; life in the oceans die, fresh water is poisoned,  and great earthquake destroys every city. 

At the return of Christ, with the armies of Heaven, the armies gathered against Jerusalem literally melt away at His presence.   Israel and the nations are gathered before the throne of Messiah, to determine who will enter the Millennium.

What is the Millennium?

The Millennium, in short is the 1000-year reign of Messiah on the Earth.  During his reign, the promises and blessing to obedient Israel reach fulfillment.  Jesus the Messiah will reign from Jerusalem with his resurrected saints over a physical earth.  Satan will be bound for 1000 years.  The earth will flourish, People, nations and creation will be at a complete state of peace.  Immortal resurrected saints and mortal human residents of the millennium will live together on a Millennial earth. Humanity will live to 1000-years during this time. Sin and death will be rare in the Earth during this period.

The earth’s population grows, those who survive the tribulation, and enter the Millennium phase of humanity populate the earth. In this phase, the population of the earth will explode with death and sin being rare.

            The Millennium will end at Satan’s release, to test the nations one final time. Satan’s release will test those born during the Millennium. His release will give those born on the earth a trial of their heart.

The Millennium ends with the Great White Throne Judgment when all those alive during the millennium who rebelled and the dead in Hell, whose names are not in the book of life, will be brought before the throne of Christ for final judgment, to give an account for their deeds.

What is the purpose of the Millennium?

            The Millennium accomplishes several important purposes.  The

1. God keeps his promises and word.

God made very specific promises to the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Promises of blessings for obedience and cursing for disobedience, during the Millennium Israel is blessed for obedience fulfilling God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

2. God rewards his people.

The millennium is also a period when God will reward his saints, both Old and New Testament with positions of authority over a millennial kingdom. Christ will reign as King, while the saints will reign with Him over the nations. The twelve disciples will rule over the twelve tribes of Israel, while some may rule over cities as reward for a faithful service in the physical body. 

3. God demonstrates his righteousness.

 In the Millennium, humanity will have every need physically met and will lack for nothing. Despite this, in the end when given the option, a significant portion born during the Millennium will reject the Lord God. Those who choose the Lord will show people do not choose or reject God based on outward circumstance, but inward character. (See Job)

4. More people for eternity.

 Since Adam’s fall, the earth has been under a curse. Humanity has died, and creation has been hostile to man’s survival.  This changes in the millennium, creation harmonizes with humanity. Death and sin are rare and the population of the earth explodes to unprecedented levels.  At the end of the millennium, Satan, who is released from his prison, tests those born. They who reject Satan, pass the test enter eternity with Christ and the saints in the New Jerusalem. Those who reject the millennium blessings, and turn against God join the faithless of creation, including the fallen from Adam’s fall to Armageddon.  

The Covenants fulfilled

During the Millennium, the covenants; The Abrahamic, Canaan/Palestine/Israeli, Davidic and New Covenants will be fulfilled literally.  God operates according to His word.  God from the fall spoke through prophets to fallen man.  God made promises of redemption, only to be fulfilled in literal Israel.  Israel’s rejection of Messiah, placed their fulfillment on hold.  Israel’s obedience and acceptance of Messiah, Jesus Christ reinstates Israel, and allows God to fulfill his promise to their descendents.

For this reason, Paul alludes to the Gentiles blessing in Israel’s fall, but promises an even greater blessing in their restoration.

15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? Romans 11:15

Paul says, “Life from the dead” referring to the resurrection. When Israel accepts Christ, the time of resurrection is at hand. God will then fulfill his promises of obedience to Israel made in the covenants during the time of the prophets, postponed at time Messiah was “Cut off”.

1. The Abrahamic Covenant

During the Millennium all nations of the earth will be blessed, through the covenant God established with The descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be as the stars in heaven. The land of Canaan will be where the Messiah will reign over the Earth.  Israel, the descendents of Abraham, will be the prince of nations on the Earth in the Millennium.

5Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”Genesis 15:5

8Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” Genesis 17:8

17blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.  Genesis 22:17 

With the majority of the earth’s population dying in the tribulation period, and 1/3 of Israel surviving (Zechariah 13:8), Israel begins the Millennium with a greater percentage then other nations (Speculation). Therefore, there population will be greater, then the other nations during the millennium period.

2. The Palestinian/Canaan/Israeli Covenant

A Covenant of blessing is granted Israel, Jacob’s descendents, if they are obedient; Israel will be blessed above all nations. Israel will be a righteous and obedient nation and will receive an outpouring of blessing. This blessing fulfilled during the millennium, while Jesus Christ reigns as King of the Earth from Jerusalem.

1“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God: Deuteronomy 28:1-2

1“Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives you,4If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you. 5Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. 6And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. Deuteronomy 30:1-10

3. The Davidic Covenant

The Davidic covenant establishes Israel as the throne of God on earth during the Millennium. The Messiah, the son of David, Son of God will rule on David’s throne from Jerusalem. 

I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

16And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before £you. Your throne shall be established forever.”’”2 Samuel 7:12-13,16

16“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Revelation 22:16

Jesus is descendent of David both through Mary, his mother.   During the millennium Jesus will rule over the Earth, as the population of the Earth accelerates his saints will serve as administrators, rulers, judges and priests over the millennial earth.  The law will go forth from Jerusalem.

4. The New Covenant.

In the church age, the gentiles were grafted into the Covenant Israel spurned.  The church received the blessings due Israel. The church did not replace Israel.  During the Millennium, Israel will receive the blessings of the New Covenant.  God’s everlasting covenant with Israel provides forgiveness of sins and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Those who are resurrected will rule and reign with Christ during the Millennium.

31“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, £though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

Israel did not receive the New Covenant prior to the millennium.  The church, made of Jews and gentiles received the blessing in the place of Israel.  The New Covenant blessings will be realized in the Millennium.

Also during the Millennium, at least till Satan is released at the end of the 1000-year period. Man does not pursue war but pursues peace. The kingdoms of earth are managed saints, Old and New Testament resurrected individuals, who are Christ’s representatives to the nations.

        4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares,

And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.

Isaiah 2:4

27Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28For this is My blood of the £new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
Matthew 26:27-29

The Transition to the Millennium

The transition from the old order to the new order according to Daniel 12:12 is 45 days.  During this time the elect who are in hiding are gathered by the angels (Matthew 24:31).  Also gathered are the nations, who are separated as sheep and goats are divided by a shepherd. This division is to determine who enters the Millennium and who is cast to Hell to await judgment at the end of the Millennium.

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory."All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.Matthew 25:31-32

This part of scripture tells us the Satan and his angels are included in this judgment along with those who survive the tribulation period.  Satan and his angels are sent to Hell for their judgment, along with them are those actions in the tribulation period demonstrated allegiance to Satan, by their works.  The goats (People on the left of the King) became their own judge by their behavior during the tribulation.

Satan and his angles are judged, at this point as well.  We see Satan’s power removed and his placement in Hell.  The angels who rebelled with him are also placed in everlasting fire.  The saints are involved in the judgment of the fallen angels at this point. (I Corinthians 6:3)

The sheep are those who came to Christ during the tribulation period (pre-tribulation view) or survived the tribulation (post-tribulation view). They like Adam and Eve populate the earth again. 

The way the Earth during the Millennium

Both the nature of man and animals will be changed during the reign of Messiah.  Satan will no longer be able to cause havoc in the Earth.  The curse of the fall, removed from the Earth, transforms animal life from adversary to friend. In Romans 8:19-21, we read that all nature groans and waits for the adoption of the children of God.  The Earth will be like it was in the days of Adam and Eve before the fall.

6“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,

   The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them.

7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together;  And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD

                As the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:6-9

 4  He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares,    And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.Isaiah 2:4

19For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Romans 8:19-22

Government during Millennium

The government of the Earth will not be a democracy, but a theocracy. Jesus the Son of God will rule from Jerusalem over the earth.  His servants will be his governors, mayors, judges and priests over the citizens of the Earth. The body of the Church will rule with Christ over the Earth.  During this period Christ's servants will be rewarded for a faithful life.

This reward of government is best illustrated in the parable of the Talents and Mina.  The faithful servants are rewarded with responsibility of the kingdom received by the master.  In Luke, in exchange for the 10 Minas the servant is given charge over 10 cities (Luke 19:16-17).  The disciples we see in Matthew 19:28 rule over the tribes of Israel.

Jerusalem will be the Earth’s Capital

The capital city of the Earth will be Jerusalem.  From Jerusalem, the government will go forth throughout the earth.  The nations come to Jerusalem to learn the ways of God. To worship before the King of the Earth.

1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’S house

  Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills;

   And all nations shall flow to it.

3 Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

   To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways,  And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go         forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:1-3

10“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the LORD. 11“Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. 12And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.   Zechariah 2:10-13

16And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:6

2“Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; With great fervor I am zealous for her.’3“Thus says the LORD: ‘I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of    Truth, The Mountain of the LORD of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’Zechariah 8:2-3

Jesus king of the Earth

Jesus will rule from the throne of David over the nations of the Earth.  Jesus will have a visible and holy presence to the nations.  His appearance will be one of awe and splendor according to Ezekiel.  King Messiah is called the Glory of the Lord in Ezekiel 43.  Here we see Jesus, in His glory as God and King ruling from Jerusalem. 

7Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,   Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justiceFrom that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:7

1Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east. 2And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory. 3It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when £I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4And the glory of the LORD came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east. 5The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

6Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. 7And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.  Ezekiel 43:1-8

4But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.5Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.  Isaiah 11:4-5

13“I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven!   He came to the Ancient of Days,  And they brought Him near before Him. 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.    His dominion is an everlasting dominion,  Which shall not pass away,  And His kingdom the one    Which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

37Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37                                                                  

The Role of the Church

The church, the body of Christ, will rule with Him during the Millennium. As the population of the Earth grows, the earth will require administration. Throughout the earth, the saints will be placed in positions of authority to manage Christ’s kingdom.

22until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. 27Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’ Daniel 7:22,27

28So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother £or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and the last first. Matthew 19:28-30

 15“And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’ Luke 19:15-18

4AndI saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for £a thousand years. Revelation 20:4

The Old Testament Saints will Rule with the Church

During the Millennium resurrected Old Testament saints such as Daniel, David and Job will be active participants in Jesus Christ the Messiah’s kingdom.  David will have a rule of leadership, Daniel is told in the end of days he will rise to his inheritance. Job looked forward to the day when he would see the redeemer with his own eyes (Job 19:25).         

But they shall serve the LORD their God, And David their king, Whom I will raise up for them. Jeremiah 30:9

 13“But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”Daniel 12:13

11And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:11

Worship during the Millennium

During the Millennium Messiah Jesus will be the focus of worship and celebration.  Jesus, the glory of the Lord, God himself will be present for the whole world to worship.  Jesus will construct his throne room, an Earthly temple to be the center of worship.  .  Only this time, there will not be an Arc of the Covenant,  God himself will be the center of worship in the earth.

Nations will come up yearly to honor the Lord

The earth will submit to the Messiah, who will rule with a rod of Iron (Psalm 2).  Nations will not be allowed to lax in their submission to the King of the Earth. 

16And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:16-19

The Temple & Messiah

During the Millennium a Jewish Temple will exist onMt. Moriah.  This Temple will be the throne room of Jesus Christ, who will rule the nations in justice and righteousness. 

5The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

6Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. 7And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
Ezekiel 42:5-8

Memorial Priesthood will exist during the Millennium

The priesthood’s purpose was to administer the sacrifice on behalf of sinners.  During the Millennium, the purpose of the Priesthood will be to remind the world of Messiah’s sacrifice, offered on their behalf. They will administer a memorial sacrifice. The priesthood will instruct on what is holy and profane.

15“But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD. 16“They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.
Ezekiel 45:15-16 

Population during the Millennium

In the Millennium, the earth’s population will explode.  Without war, disease, famine and death the earth will multiply with people.  Today there are over 6 Billion people alive on the Earth.  After the Tribulation two thirds of the Earth population will be killed.  Those alive during the return of Christ will be judged. Those found worthy will enter the enter the Millennium kingdom.  Those who enter the Millennium will repopulate the Earth.

The only cause for death during the Millennium will be for rebellion and apostasy, but even death at one hundred years old will be like the death of an infant today.  But when death does come, the individual will have willingly and knowingly rebelled against Christ.

 "No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
Isaiah 65:20

            How many will be alive at the end of the Millennium is total speculation.  A guess of 10 times the current population of the Earth would not seem outrageous.  Without the factors that decrease population, 60-70 billion might be conservative.

If we one million people survived the tribulation period and entered the Millennium age, and we assume the population doubled every 55 years in the first 330 years the population would grow to 32 million souls.  In the next 330 years there would over 2 billion souls, and by the end of the 1000 years over 130 billion souls. A doubling of the population every 55 years is extremely conservative, especially considering there will be no war, death will be scarce and the environment will not be adverse to humanity.

            Of this population, many will have never experienced the testing of Satan.  They will have seen the glory of Christ and his earthly kingdom.  There will be no lack of anything in the earth.  However, the true hearts of those born during the Millennium was never tested. God’s existence will be as obvious and open. However, humanity given the chance, will still rebel against God.  Satan tested the angels, he tested mankind in our day and he will test those born in the Millennium.

Testing at the end of the Millennium

 This is the final test of mankind.  Following this final test will be the  “Great white throne judgment”.  This test is not for saints only to those born during the Millennium.

7Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
Revelation 20:7-9

At the conclusion of the Millennium, Satan deceives an innumerable number of souls born during the Millennium to rebel against Christ’s kingdom.  How they rebel is not important, they are deceived like those at Armageddon and the angels who fell, thinking they could actually defeat God in the universe He created.

 The Great White Throne Judgment

After the Millennium, all whose names are not in the Book of Life will stand before the throne of Christ to be judged for all eternity.  The dead in Hell are resurrected to  give an account of their life.

 11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before £God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second £death. 15And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15

9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11 (See also Isaiah 45:23)
