CHRIST JUDGING THE LIVING BEFORE THE MILLENNIUM Most of the nations will follow Antichrist in his rebellion, and most of them will be killed in the battle of Armageddon. Revelation 14:20 says that the blood from this battle will be “up to the bridles of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia.” A thousand six hundred stadia is 182 miles, the distance from Bozrah (Isa. 63:1) to Armageddon (Rev. 16:16). One day Christ, the embodiment of God, will fight face to face with the Antichrist, the embodiment of Satan. Nearly the whole world will follow Antichrist to fight against Christ. While Antichrist is seducing the world to follow him against the Jews and against the remnant of the Christians, the eternal gospel will be preached by an angel who will shout, “Fear God…and worship Him” (Rev. 14:7). Some from the nations will respond to this gospel and will take care of the Jews and the believers who are under the persecution of Antichrist. Christ will gather all of those from the nations who remain after the battle of Armageddon to His throne of glory in Jerusalem where He will judge them to divide them into sheep, the good ones, and goats, the bad ones. The sheep will be those who respond to the eternal gospel. The Lord Jesus will cast the goats, those who followed Antichrist, into the lake of fire with Antichrist, whereas the sheep will enter into His kingdom, not as His sons but as His subjects to live in the sphere of eternal life (Matt. 25:31-46).
