up before Christ for Judgement (Rom 14:9, Rev 20:12-13) and all Christians are
already written into the Book of Life and therefore saved (Rev 20:15). The Book
of Life is for those who have partaken of the Tree of Life (John 11:25, Phil 4:3,
Rev 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 22:2). Anyone not written into the Book of Life, i.e. not a
Christian will be condemned (Rev 20:15). No works, good or bad, can save a man
(Mark 16:16, Rev 20:13-15).

Nations and people groups are subject to salvation and where saved retain
corporate identity on the new Earth (Micah 4:3, Rev 21:24). Micah 4:2 refers to
Old Testament times and to the Law.

The sign of desolation associated with the preceding of this period represents the
episode of some angels and Christians losing their faith (Mat 24:15, 29). The
bodies of Christians which are temples of the Holy Ghost and heaven itself which
is a holy place will thus be defiled by this sin which is the unforgivable sin
committed whenever a Christian or angel loses faith and rejects the Holy Ghost
inside (Mark 3:29).

The tribulation preceding the second resurrection is much more severe than the
first tribulation and would cause all flesh to perish if left unchecked (Isaiah 5:30,
24:17-23, 27:1, 34:4, Ezek 20:47-48, 21:3-7, 32:2-32, Joel 2:10, Mat 24:21-22,
Mark 13:19-20, Rev 6:12-17, 7:1-3, 14, 8:7-8, 10, 12, 9:2, 4-11, 11:7-10, 13, 15-

18, 13:1-18, 16:1-21). It is characterised by a rebellion in Heaven by some angels
and ultimately a complete dissolution of the material Universe (Isaiah 34:4, Hag
2:6, Rev 21:1). During this time Satan gathers all the nations for the final battle
against God (Ezek 38:20, 39:18-19, Rev 20:8). This occurs after the release of the
beast and Satan from the prison of the bottomless pit (Rev 20:7)

Early in the process, before the battle, Jesus appears at the Mount of Olives or
‘Olivet’ (Zech 14:4, Acts 1:11-12). This location looks completely different by this
stage of the second tribulation process (Zech 14:4).

The second Heaven and Earth contains heavens plural (Isaiah 51:16, 65:17).

At some point during the period of what is, without repentance, everlasting
torment, all those in this state repent and are saved (1 Cor 12:3, Phil 2:11, Rev
14:11, 20:15).
