Chapter 25 continues Jesus’s warning on being prepared (for the Rapture). He gives two parables to illustrate things concerning this event. First, in the parable of the virgins, the idea is simply to be prepared; but the idea of the talents is a warning to be faithful. Finally, at the end of the chapter, Jesus tells what will happen to the Gentile world (in judgment) when He returns.
Chapter 23 concludes this section of the “testing of the Lamb (Jesus)” with Him condemning the religious leaders for their pride and hypocrisy. Here Jesus pronounced seven woes upon the pharisees and scribes leading to His ultimate pronouncement of judgment. In His final words, Jesus laments over Jerusalem and declares that He will not return again until they accept Him as Messiah.
After Jesus returns with the saints and (He alone) destroys the armies of the antiChrist, He will judge the Gentile nations. The righteous Gentiles will be welcomed into the Kingdom, while the unrighteous Gentiles will be put to death. Also, it is at this time that Satan and his demonic angels will be temporarily imprisoned for 1,000 years – the duration of the Kingdom. The marriage supper/feast of Christ will then be celebrated by all those in the Kingdom. Jesus will allot thrones throughout the Kingdom. And the greatest time of peace and prosperity the world has ever known will begin.
After the destruction of Babylon (Revelation 17 and 18), there is great praise in heaven. The vindication of the saints who were killed is now taking place as God brings destruction on the anti-Christ and his kingdom. Jesus is officially married to His church and then returns to DESTROY all of his enemies.
The serpent was the greatest of all the “beasts of the field” that God made. However, it played a pivotal role in the fall of man. What was God’s response…? Now, in the Millennial Kingdom the earth and the animal kingdom will be restored very much like it was before Adam’s fall. But what will become of the serpent?
