Э.Г. Уайт - История спасения - Глава 63. Тысячелетнее царство - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

My attention was drawn back to the ground. The wicked are destroyed, their dead bodies lying on the surface. God's wrath was poured out on the inhabitants of the earth in seven plagues; gritting their teeth in pain, they cursed God. False shepherds became the subject of Jehovah's special wrath. Although they were still standing, their eyes had shrunk in their sockets, and so had their tongues in their mouths. After the righteous were caught up to heaven at God's call, the crowds of the wicked turned their anger against each other. It seemed as if blood had flooded the entire earth and dead bodies covered it from edge to edge.

The whole earth looked like a lifeless desert. The ruins of cities and villages destroyed by the earthquake, fallen trees uprooted, boulders of stone thrown out by the sea or broken off from rocks were piled up everywhere; In some places, bottomless abysses yawned, formed in place of the gaping mountains. This will be the dwelling place of Satan and his evil angels for a thousand years. Here he will be chained, and he will have to wander through a desolate land, contemplating the fruits of his rebellion against the Law of God. For a thousand years he will be able to enjoy the fruits of the curse of which he himself was the cause.

Limited only to earthly space, he will not be able to penetrate into other worlds to tempt and annoy the unfallen inhabitants. Satan's suffering will be extremely severe throughout this time. Since the rebellion in heaven he had continually tempted and destroyed, but now he is stripped of his power and left alone to reflect on what he has done since his rebellion against the heavenly government. With trepidation and horror, the devil will await terrible retribution, when he will have to answer for all the evil he has caused and be punished for all the sins that he tempted people to commit.

I heard the triumphant shouts of the angels and the redeemed of God, sounding like ten thousand musical instruments. They rejoiced that Satan would no longer annoy and tempt them, that the inhabitants of other worlds were now delivered from his sinister presence and from his temptations.

Then thrones were shown to me, and I saw Jesus and the redeemed saints sitting on them. The righteous ruled as kings and priests of God. Christ joins them in judging the dead wicked, comparing their actions with the Book of Laws and the Word of God, and determining the punishment of each according to what he did while “living in the body.” After this, their names are recorded in the death book. Jesus and His redeemed also judge Satan and his evil angels. The punishment awaiting the devil will be much more severe than the fate of those whom he deceived. His suffering cannot even be compared with the suffering of his victims. After all those deceived by him perish, he himself will live and suffer for a long time.

After the end of the judgment of the dead wicked, at the end of a thousand years, Jesus leaves the city, and the army of heaven follows Him. He heads towards the earth and descends onto a great mountain, which, as soon as His feet touch its surface, splits into two parts and turns into a huge plain. Then everyone looks up and sees a huge beautiful city with twelve foundations and twelve gates - three on each side. Everyone exclaims: “City! Great city! It comes down from God from heaven!” He descends to earth in all his splendor and dazzling glory and descends upon the vast valley prepared by Jesus.
