Biblical Time line:
4004 BC God created Adam.
3874 BC Seth is born Adam is 130 years old at this time. We do not know when Cain and Able were born or how long Adam was in the garden. Cain and Abel were grown men when Cain slew Abel.
3769 Enosh is born. Seth was 105 years old Men began to call on God or better translated “proclaimed God.” Somewhere in this time period fallen angels left their first estate (heaven and the spiritual realm) and took on human bodies and married human wives and produced Nephilim. Gods. Men of renown. Genesis 6:4. They rebelled against man and God and became very violent. They reached a high point just before the flood. So they populated the earth for about 1500 years. Plenty of time to corrupt all the human population and DNA. Why didn’t God stop it? He did. It’s called the flood. God always allows sin to reach a certain level hoping man will repent before judgement. The last pre-flood patriarch Methuselah died just before the flood. So there were good and Godly people during the pre-flood era. God took them to heaven before the flood judgment. As He will the church before the last world judgment. Only corrupt unbelievers were left on the earth for the flood judgment. Noah and his family were taken up above the waters. A symbol of the rapture.
3217 BC Methuselah is born. When he dies it (the flood) shall come. He lived 969 years. When he died it ended the many pre-flood patriarchs who were righteous. When Methuselah died only Noah and his family were left among the righteous.
2948 BC Noah is born. Noah knew the pre-flood patriarchs.
2500 BC—SPECIAL NOTE: Buddhism begins. Originated in India. 1st great false religion. Buddha means “enlightened.” Karma and reincarnation and the continuous cycle of life. The Swastika was adopted by the Nazi’s in 1920. Siddhartha Gautama was the founder and became known as the “Buddha” Or “enlightened one.”
2468 BC God says man has 120 years. Final call to repentance. There were still some righteous on the earth at this time.
2448 BC Noah is commanded to build the ark
2348 BC Flood– 1656 years from Adam to the flood. Millions on the earth at this time all seed but Noah’s seed are corrupted. Methuselah dies. All the pre-flood righteous patriarchs are dead except Noah.
2247 BC Tower of Babel—101 years after the flood and less than 50 thousand on the earth
1996 BC Abraham is Born—
1921 BC The Call of Abraham. He was 75 Years old. The land… ***The Abrahamic Covenant*** World population was less than 250 thousand. Zero Jews.
1896 BC—Isaac is born Abraham is one hundred years old.
1836 BC Jacob is born. Issac is 60 years old.
1745 Joseph is born. Jacob is 91 when Joseph is born
1728 BC Joseph taken captive to Egypt Joseph is 17 years old.
1706 BC Jacob arrives in Egypt Jacob was 130 years old. Joseph was 39 years old. 89 Jews in the world. 86 family members of Jacob plus Joseph and his two sons. Egypt is the first world power. The first of the seven heads of the Beast. Seven gentile world powers that will dominate Israel (1) Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast.
1571 BC Moses is born in Egypt—Jews increase from 89 to three to four million in 135 years. No wonder Pharoah wanted all the Jewish males babies to die.
1500 BC??—SPECIAL NOTE: Hinduism began as a mixture of the Indo-Ayria culture around 3300 BC. 2nd great false religion that has led to humanism and evolution and new age. Began in India and does not have a single founder or single starting point. It slowly grew over hundreds of years. Believes in many gods. Also believe in Karma and reincarnation. They have a sacred text called the “Vedas” written in 1500 BC. The difference between Hinduism and Buddhism is minimal. They differ on the soul, a creator God, and social structure.
Hinduism teaches that every person has an eternal soul. Buddhism teaches no soul and no permanent self. Hinduism believes in a supreme cosmic spirit and many gods and goddesses. Buddhism does not focus on a creator instead focuses on personal awakening. Hinduism uses the Caste system of Brahmins who are priests, Kshatriyas who are rulers and fighters, Vaishyas business owners, famers and traders, and Shudras manual labor workers, to divide society. Buddhism completely rejects social constructs and believe all people are equal. Hinduism aims for soul in union with the divine. Buddhism aims for Nirvana. The end of suffering and stepping outside the cycle and rebirth.
1491 BC ***The Mosaic Covenant.*** The Exodus from Egypt. The Law. When the law was given at Mount Sinai there was about 40 million world population and six million Jews. 430 years from the call of Abraham to arriving in the land of promise…Canaan.
1451 BC Jews Arrive in Canaan. Forty years of wilderness wandering ends.
1451-1426 BC Joshua clears the promised land of Rephaim. Israel occupies the land of Canaan
1426-1155 BC Judges rule Israel— 271 years of Judges
1155-1095 BC Eli and Samuel are the High Priests of Israel
1095 BC Saul The first of the kings—490 years of Kings
1055 BC David is King– ***The Davidic Covenant***
1015 BC Solomon is king
975 BC—Solomon dies. Kingdom divided into the ten northern tribes—Israel and the 2 Southern Tribes-Judah.
722 BC—Assyria captures the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Ten tribes. Those tribes were scattered throughout the Assyrian kingdoms. They never lost their Jewish identity, and many have returned to Israel as part of the great regathering in these last days. Ezekiel 37:21 I will gather them from all around and bring them into their land. The second of the seven heads of the Beast of Revelation. Seven Gentile world powers that will dominate Israel. Egypt, (2) Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast.
Special note: Revelation chapters 12, 13 and 17 talk about the seven headed and ten horned beast. Daniel 7 talks about ten horns describing ten world influencers one of which the Anti-Christ will come from. Daniel 7 also says the fourth beast will have ten horns which are ten kings. From the ten will come one little horn who will subdue the rest.
The book of Daniel is centered on Israel’s seventy weeks of years which takes in the last four kingdoms only. Egypt and Assyria were world powers that dominated Israel before Babylon. When Babylon conquered Israel and took the Jews into captivity Daniel received the prophecy that his people Israel were given 490 years as punishment by God for failing to keep the sabbaths and rejecting God as their king. They spent 430 years in Egypt, and the Assyrians scattered the northern tribes all over the world in 722 BC.
The four types metal on the image of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel chapter 2 are describing the last four kingdoms. The first metal is the images head of Gold—Babylon. The second metal has the breast and arms of silver—Medo-Persia. The third the belly and thighs were brass—Greece. And last metal is divided between the two legs. Rome is the fourth metal. The legs are iron, but one foot was Iron and the other clay. The two legs are the Roman Empire. The Roman empire was united from 27 BC to 476 BC. In 476 AD it divided and continues to have influence even to today. Constantinople to the East and Rome to the West. The feet is the Revised Roman empire of the last days. This is also the ten kings who will rule with the Beast. Some think the mix of iron and clay means that these Ten kings will be hybrid humans. They will be a mix of human and Nephilim.
In Daniel chapter 7 we see four beasts which shall arise out of the earth. Earth in the Bible prophecy usually means Israel. Beasts means that they will dominate and seek to control and reign over Israel, specifically Jerusalem. The first beast is a lion—Babylon. The second beast is a bear—Medo-Persia. The third beast is a Lepard—Greece which after Alexander the Great died was divided into four kingdoms. The fourth beast of Daniel chapter seven is coming up out of the sea. The sea usually represents the gentile world. The fourth beast is Rome. All of the modern-day western world today is based on Roman law and influence. This beast will be revised and revived in the last days. This fourth beast had ten horns which are ten kings—and a little horn speaking great things. It will devour the whole earth. No kingdom has ever done that until now. This is the anti-Christ. That is why he will be from the western world with western values but could be of any origin.
The Devil has always been tormenting Israel with diverse world powers who subvert and dominate them with the goal of destroying the Jews and the land of Israel. Satan will raise up another world power unlike any other who will seek to destroy Jews once again and once for all in the last days. Today the western world the modern Roman empire is turning against Israel more every day.
605 BC Babylon besieges Jerusalem and collects tribute 490 years of independence is ended. 1095 BC to 605 BC
The 3rd of the seven heads of the Beast. Seven gentile world powers that will dominate Israel. Egypt, Assyria, (3) Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. Babylon is the first of the Nations that God will use to judge Israel and occupy Jerusalem for failing to keep the sabbaths and rejecting God as their king. Daniel’s metal man and the four beasts of Daniel describe them.
597 First exiles to Babylon—Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar and his family rule from 626 to 539 BC
586 BC Last King Zedekiah Missed 70 sabbath years (every seven years) Babylon Captivity begins. The official 70 years began when the temple was destroyed in 586 BC and ended when it is rebuilt in 516 BC.
550 BC to 331 BC–Medo-Persia rules the world and Israel. The 4th of the seven heads of the Beast of Revelation. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, (4) Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. Medo-Persia is the 2nd of the Nations that will control Israel for failing to keep the sabbaths and rejecting God as their king. Daniel’s metal man and the four beasts of Daniel describe them.
536 BC first group returns to Israel from Babylon, others return in 516 and 490 BC.
444 BC Ezra rebuilds the wall of Jerusalem This begins Daniels 70 weeks of years that are determined for thy people Israel. 490 years. These are prophetic years. A prophetic year is 360 days.
404 BC—SPECIAL NOTE: Confucianism becomes the official moral and political fabric of China during the Han dynasty. Confucious was born in 551 BC. His teachings deeply shapes the cultures of China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam until today. 2nd great false religion. It focuses on social harmony. Humaneness, piety and social order, personal conduct, family loyalty and good governance. They worship ancestors and believe they will unite with them in the afterlife. It is a way of life practiced by the Chinese going back to 1000 BC. It is not a religion as such. Confucious teachings are in a book called the “Analects.” It became widespread in 404 BC, 75 years after the death of Confucious in 479 BC.
336-323 BC Greece under Alexander the Great rules the world and Israel The 5th of the seven heads of the Beast of Revelation. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, (5) Greece, Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. Greece is the third Nation that will control Israel for failing to keep the sabbaths and rejecting God as their king. Daniel’s metal man and the four beasts of Daniel describe them.
323-27 BC The Ptolemies and Seleucids ruled as prophesied in Daniel. Four generals split up Alexanders kingdoms. Ptolemy of Egypt, Seleucid of the Persia, Pergamum in Asia Minor, Antigonid in Macedon and Greece. They are all part of the Grecian Empire
27 BC to 476 AD Rome rules the world and Israel. The 6th of the seven heads of the Beast of Revelation. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, (6) Rome and the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. Rome is the fourth of the four Nations that will occupy Israel and Jerusalem for failing to keep the sabbaths and rejecting God as their king. Daniel’s metal man in Daniel 2 and the four beasts of Daniel 7 describe them. Rome is divided into two legs. The legs are iron, but one foot was Iron and the other clay. The two legs are the Roman Empire. The Roman empire was united from 27 BC to 476 BC. In 476 AD it divided into Constantinople to the East and Rome to the West. Roman influence continues and is seen in the Western world even to today. The two feet represents the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. The ten toes are the ten kings who will rule with the Beast. Some think the mix of iron and clay means that these ten kings will be a mix of human and Nephilim.
4-6 BC Jesus Born
30-33 AD Jesus crucified and resurrected. This fulfills Daniels prophecy of 69 weeks of the 70 weeks of years determined for thy people. (Israel). One week left—seven years. Jesus is the First Fruit of the First Resurrection. Four more resurrections are coming at different times. Three are part of the First Resurrection. The last resurrection is called the Second Death for all unbelievers of all time.
30-33 AD Pentecost **The New Covenant** the Church is born—the Age of Grace
33 AD to 20?? AD The Church Age. The seven Dispensations.
4004 BC
70 AD –Roman Geneal Titus invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple and scattered the Jews all over the world.
313 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: Constantine issues Edic proclaiming Christianity throughout the Roman empire. Catholic Church founded. 2nd great false religion. The East has
615 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: Islam founded when Mohammed received his first revelations through the angel Gabriel. 2nd great false religion.
1717 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: Freemasonry’s First grand lodge in England. In 1066 AD—Freemasonry the world’s oldest secular and fraternal organization originated in England with the Normans. Albert Pike completely rewrote and restructured the rituals in a book called “Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry” in 1871. He was an avowed Satanist. That book is still considered the basis of all Freemasonry today.
1822 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: Joseph Smith receives a visit from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ telling him that where he is told all existing churches were wrong. The next year he gets a visit from the angel Moroni and is given the book of Mormon. 3rd great false religion based a great deal from the Masonic order as Joseph Smith was a Mason.
1848 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: The communist manifesto. Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels create a new definition of communism. The Red-Green axis is complete. Red—Communists and Catholics. Green—Islam. The unholy trinity working today to bring in the kingdom of the anti-Christ and eradicate true Christianity. The Anti-Christ will use them until they are no longer useful to him puts himself in charge of the world in the last 3 ½ years of the tribulation.
1881 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: Charles Taze Russell begins the Zion Watch Tower Tract Society. The Jehovah’s Witnesses name is adopted in 1931. 4th great false religion. Notice Satan begins all the religions and false teachings after the church is born and it has greatly increased in the last two centuries which are the last days. Even the Catholic church and Communism/socialism has continued to have great influence. And Islam has increased exponentially into the western world since Israel became a nation years.
1947 AD—SPECIAL NOTE: UFO crashes in New Mexico. This started the signs in the sky a demonic deception as Israel returns to their homeland. Also Bigfoot is seen in the forests around the world another incursion of the demonic as Satan ramps up all his deceptive forces around the world.
1948 AD– Jews return to their homeland after 1870 years. Ezekiel 36-37 The billboard of God’s proof that the Bible is the word of God! The greatest and most obvious Biblical prophecy fulfillment in the modern era that mostly goes unnoticed by a blinded secular world. We are now in the last of the last days. Dozens of Bible prophecies are fulfilled when Israel returned to their land.
20?? AD Rapture No one knows the day nor the hour. The church is in heaven for seven years. Some think the Judgment seat of Christ….the marriage of the Lamb and the marriage supper of the Lamb occur during this time. Revelation 19. Some believe the marriage supper occurs in the time after the return of Christ and just before the Millennial. The church is the second resurrection and part of the first.
20?? AD Tribulation– Peace treaty with Israel begins the seventieth week. Daniel 9:24-27 Time of Jacobs trouble Jeremiah 30:7. 144,000 Jewish virgin men of the twelve tribes are marked and sealed. Persecution of tribulation saints. We do not know how long between the rapture is and the beginning of the seventieth week. It probably will be just a matter of weeks or months.
20?? AD The Beast signs a peace treaty with Israel. Tribulation begins. Israel can now dwell safely without walls so they can complete their temple and begin their temple worship—The Beast wants all Jews in Israel so that later he can kill them all! Islam is not happy about the temple being rebuilt on the dome of the rock. Satan will see an opportunity to kill Jews with the anger of the Islamic world. The Gog-Magog invasion is coming up.
20?? AD Gog-Magog invasion of Israel. God draws these nations to Israel for a spoil. The Beast sees an opportunity here. Russia, Iran and Turkey invade Israel but are defeated on the mountains of Israel by God. Islam is virtually destroyed and the Jews can now occupy the temple mount and finish their temple and begin worship there. God is glorified and the Beast takes advantage of that and claims he is the Messiah. He allows temple worship to deceive Jews into coming to Israel. 144,000 Jewish evangelists preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole world. Two witnesses do miracles as well as preach the gospel until the mid-point of the tribulation. An angel flies around preaching the gospel also. The Beast will kill those who accept Christ during the whole seven-year period but I believe most will die in the first half of the tribulation.
20?? AD Last 3 ½ years of the tribulation called the Great Tribulation— the mid-point of the tribulation. Trumpet and bowl judgments. The Mark of the beast. The False prophet is revealed. War in heaven. Michael and his angels kick Satan out of Heaven. The seventh of the seven heads of the Beast. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and (7) the Revised Roman empire of the Beast. The Revised Roman empire is the fourth of the Nations that will control Israel after Israel is in their land. Daniel’s metal man and the four beasts of Daniel describe them.
The ten kings are not happy with the Beast. Someone will assassinate the Beast, but he will have a resurrection out of the pit as he is healed of his deadly wound. He will stop all temple sacrifices and worship. He will now claim to be God in the temple. He is filled with Satan at this time. Satan now knows his time is short and must kill every Jew for it is his only hope to keep Jesus from fulfilling the Davidic Covenant.
Satan is called the Dragon during this time. The Beast moves his headquarters to Jerusalem. His image is worshipped. Revelation chapters 17-18 is an apparent parenthesis to tell what happens to mystery Babylon the great at the mid-point of the tribulation. In chapter 17 Religious Babylon is destroyed so that the beast can have no religions competition. In Chapter 18 Commercial Babylon is destroyed so that people must take his mark to buy or sell. An angel is warning people all over the world to NOT take the mark. Angels help the Jews flee Israel to Petra in Jordan, the rock fortress where God uses Angels to protect them.
20?? AD Armageddon–The Return of Christ after 2000 years of Grace (rapture seven years before that)
Note: Prophetic years are 360 days. The great Tribulation is 1260 days=3 ½ years. The Beast kills two thirds of Jews. Only one third survive. Christ returns with His army of saints most likely the church… on white horses. Jewish survivors will recognize Jesus as the one they have pierced and receive him as Savior. The beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire. Old Testament and tribulation saints are the third resurrection and part of the First.
20?? AD The Millennium. The dragon, Satan is locked up in the bottomless pit for one thousand years. Jewish survivors will enter into the millennium alive along with gentile survivors. The gentiles are the Sheep of Matthew 25. The Church and all resurrected OT saints will rule and reign with Christ for one thousand years on a reconstituted earth where peace dwells. Jesus Christ is on the throne in Jerusalem to rule over His people Israel.
30?? AD Millennial Kingdom—One thousand years ends… Satan is released after the end of the millennium for a short time. Evidently millions will gather with an army and rebel with Satan. But all are destroyed and sent to judgment. The Great white Throne of Judgment. All who are not written in the Lambs book of life from the beginning of creation will be cast into the lake of fire forever and ever. Millennial saints are the fourth resurrection and part of the First. All Christ rejectors are resurrected at this time. This is the fifth resurrection and the second death.
Time as we know it is no more. Seven thousand years of man is complete! New heaven and a new earth where only righteousness dwells.

There are five bodily resurrections in the Bible…..
Acts 26:23 that the Messiah must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.
Colossians 1:18 He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. See Also 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 Only the church is the bride of Christ and will go to be with Him at the rapture. The fact is ALL believers at the time of the rapture are the church. The church was formed at Pentecost. So everyone saved from then to the rapture are the church! John the Baptist and all those saved before Pentecost are friends of the bridegroom. See special note below.
Revelation 20:4-5 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years……This is the first resurrection (of believers) The first resurrection refers to the resurrection of all believers, though separated in time.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: (The tribulation) and at that time thy people shall be delivered,( tribulation saints) every one that shall be found written in the book. (they shall go alive into the millennium after the tribulation)
Daniel 12:2 And many of them (children of thy people– Israel) that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Clearly this is at the end of the tribulation for thy people are delivered from a time of trouble like never before. The “everlasting contempt” are resurrected at the end of the Millennium according to Revelation 20:5 and 7-14 ……But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. The Unbelievers)
Special note: John the Baptist was a friend of the bridegroom. The OT saints and the Tribulation saints are friends of the bridegroom and invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb but not raptured. They must be there in their spiritual bodies at this wedding and marriage supper as they don’t get their new bodies, resurrection bodies until the end of the tribulation. John 3:28-29 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. The dead IN CHRIST will rise first. The OT saints are friends of the bridegroom and not married to the groom as the church is will not be resurrected until the end of the tribulation. Also, remember Jesus is going to have the Judgment seat of Christ after the rapture. Friends of the bridegroom did not have opportunity to follow Christ therefore are not at the judgment seat of Christ.
Hosea 2:19-20 says that Israel is God’s betrothed. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. But of course this is pointing to a time when all things are settled in heaven. Israel is described as many things to God and God will bring to fulfillment all of these descriptions of them when His kingdom is established. Betrothed means “promised to.” It is a marriage contract. God has made promises to Israel that He will fulfill. Israel is God’s promised land the people are promised to Him. Fulfilled in the church age when they Jews and Gentiles would be the bride of Christ at the wedding in Heaven and the marriage supper and in the kingdom and into eternity.
Another thing to consider about the wedding…..This wedding and supper occurs in Revelation chapter 18 before Christ comes with His bride to destroy the Beast in Revelation 19. After the supper He comes to the earth with to destroy the Anti-Christ and set up His kingdom. So if the wedding and feast comes in heaven during the last part of the tribulation and after the rapture and the Judgment seat of Christ. So Israel while they may be described as being promised to God is not the bride of Christ.
Revelation 20:5 ……But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (The Unbelievers)
Revelation 20:7-14 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
There may be another resurrection at the end of the Millennium, one which is implied, but never explicitly stated in Scripture. It is possible that some believers will die a physical death during the Millennium. The prophet Isaiah said, “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his days; for the youth will die at the age of one hundred and the one who does not reach the age of one hundred will be thought accursed” (Isaiah 65:20). On the other hand, it is also possible that death in the Millennium will only come to the disobedient. In either event, some kind of transformation will be required to fit believers in their natural bodies in the Millennium for pristine existence throughout eternity. Each believer will need to have a “resurrected” type of body. Some experts believe that NO believers will die during the millennium. For it calls one ACCURSED who die during the Millenium.
But what will happen to those believers who survived the Tribulation and entered the Millennium in their natural bodies? And what will happen to those who were born during the Millennium, trusted in Jesus, and continued to live in their natural bodies? Paul has made it clear that flesh and blood, which is mortal and able to decay, cannot inherit the kingdom of God. That eternal kingdom is inhabitable only by those with resurrected, glorified bodies that are no longer mortal and are not able to decay (1 Corinthians 15:35-49). Presumably, these believers will be given resurrection bodies without having to die. Precisely when this happens is not explained, but theologically, it must happen somewhere in the transition from the old earth and universe to the new earth and new heaven (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-4).

2 Peter 1:20-21. 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Mark 10:18 Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one one, that is God. Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. Romans 3:23 All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:10 There is none righteous, no not one. Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
