When God's consuming fire melts all the wickedness off this earth, those who are responsible for distressing Jerusalem, (within and without,) will be like waking up from a nightmare. This alludes to our Lord's teaching through Paul in...

 

 1 Corinthians 15:51-52,

 

 When all are changed on the "last trump" (trumpet) in the "twinkling of an eye;" that means as fast as you can blink. For those who fight against God, their souls will wake up and truly be hungry, spiritually. This also points to what Paul was teaching in...

 

 1 Corinthians 15:

 

...About the spiritual condition of the soul of some after Christ's return. After that change takes place, some will still have a "mortal" soul that can still be liable to die in the "lake of fire".( Second Death) That "lake of fire" event occurs later at the end of our Lord Christ's "thousand years" reign on earth.

 

1 Cor.15:53-54; Read All.

 

Rev.20: Read all.


     For those who stayed on Christ in His Word, and do their best to keep His Commandments, this judgment is going to be a good thing. His are not appointed to wrath, for they keep His Word of patience and wait upon Him, instead of falling away to worship the false 'rock' antichrist. For those who 'overcome' in Christ Jesus, they will eat from The Tree of Life in the midst of God's Paradise.

 

Rev 2:7;  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 

Rev 22:2; In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

 

Rev 22:14. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

 

That means Salvation through Christ Jesus the Saviour.

Isa 29:9    Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10   
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath He covered.

     That state of drunkenness is a spiritual 'stupor'. Our Lord Jesus and His Apostles taught of this, just as Isaiah saw God and also asked our Heavenly Father about it.
