John sees the new heaven and earth containing the new Jerusalem– a glittering city with every precious stone reflecting the Light.  The open gates are of pearl, the foundations are named for each of the Lord’s apostles, and the streets are of transparent gold.  Nothing impure is there and there is no crying.  Those whose names are found in the book of life dwell there and God is its light.  The river of life flowing from the throne has the tree of life on its banks bearing fruit every month.  Jesus tells us to look for His coming,  to be ready, and to remain faithful.

An angel from Heaven binds Satan with chains and casts him into the bottomless pit where he is locked up for 1000 years.  Jesus, with the 144 thousand and his redeemed rule the world in justice and peace for 1000 years giving the land rest.  At the end of that time Satan will be released and he will gather a great army of all who still reject Jesus.  They surround Jerusalem but God destroys them all with fire and Satan is cast into the lake of fire.  All the dead are raised to be judged at the great white throne and cast into the lake of fire if their names are not found in the Book of Life.

Babylon and all the wicked people of the world are judged and they mourn at the destruction of the city.  There is rejoicing in heaven and all those invited to the wedding are told to come.  The rider on the white horse, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, with heaven’s army defeats the beast, his prophets, and all the kings of the earth.  They are bound and cast alive into the lake of fire which burns forever.
