THE END OF THE UNHOLY TRINITY (REV. 19:11-20:10)

THEN I saw heaven opened, and beheld a white horse. Its rider was named FAITHFUL AND TRUE, for He judges fairly and wages a righteous war.  His eyes were like flames of fire, and on His head were many crowns.  A name was written on Him that no one understood except Himself.  He wore a robe dipped in blood, and His title was THE WORD OF GOD.  The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed Him on white horses.  From His mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations.  He will rule them with an iron rod.  He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.  On His robe at His thigh was written this title:  KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
THEN I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky:  Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared.  Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.
THEN I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the One sitting on the horse and His army.  And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast; miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his statue.  Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfurTheir entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the One riding the white horse.  And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.
THEN I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan, and bound him in chains for a thousand years.  The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished.
THEN I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge.  And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming THE WORD OF GOD.  They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.  This is the first resurrection.  The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.  Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.  For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him a thousand years.  
THEN, when the MELLENNIUM comes to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison.  He will go out to deceive the nations, called Gog and Magog, in every corner of the earth.  He will gather them together for battle, a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city.  But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.
THEN the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

JESUS, OUR CREATOR, SAVIOR, LORD, AND THE SON OF GOD, WINS!
