knowledge of God) from Adam to the last day of the Millennial Reign will rise
and face this Judgment. They arise for final sentencing to eternity in the Lake
of Fire and outside the presence of God. Anyone who finds him or herself in
this line is finished without remedy.
Also Death and Hell, the last of Satan’s agents are cast into the
Lake of Fire – a place of eternal condemnation and punishment.

All of God’s people will live in their Mansions and reign as Priests
and Kings worshipping and serving God forever and visiting and fellowshipping
with fellow overcoming Brethren forever.

sight seeing or tourism to the new Heaven to see all of God’s Multiverse and
Creation.

Spirit face to face and play and chat with Him forever. All past with its pain
and sorrow will be forgotten.
