thanks, any ideas about "there will be some standing here that will not taste death"????
I believe it could refer to the Rapture or also the Great White Throne resurrection when the people still alive on this Earth will pass to the new Earth without experiencing physical death. The Rapture for those who believe in it will be when followers of Christ are taken up to meet Jesus in the air immediately after the tribulation begins and be converted instantly from mortal bodies to immortal. Those who are taken will later come back with Christ to teach under him, the Prophets, Apostles, and those especially chosen, of God's Laws to all nations during the millenial reign.
The Rapture
The Rapture describes the resurrection of Christians who have died in the past as well as the changing of Christians who are alive from mortal bodies to immortal bodies, all rising to meet Jesus Christ in the air. This event occurs immediately after the Antichrist confirms the peace treaty and the Tribulation begins. See Daniel 9:27 and 1 Thessalonians 4-5.
The Tribulation
The Tribulation is a seven year period of war, pandemic plagues, earthquakes, astral catastrophies, and other judgements that will wipe out 3/4's of the entire population of the World. Jesus said "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Matthew 24
The book of Daniel says the following: "and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time" Daniel 12
The Tribulation period will end with the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The Second Coming of Christ
Jesus said "If I go away, I will come again". Angels at the Mount of Olives said at his ascension into heaven that he would come back to the Mount of Olives. See Acts 1:9. When Jesus comes back down to Earth, every person that has survived the Tribulation including the Jews will see him. See Revelation 1:7 and Matthew 24:27. During the Tribulation 2/3's of the Jews in Israel will have been killed and 3/4's of the inhabitants of the Earth. Jesus will lead the remnants back to Israel and establish his throne upon Mount Zion in Jerusalem to judge and rule all nations. See Rev 2:27, 12:5, 19:15 and Mathew 25:31-32.
The Millenial Reign
Jesus will reign as King of kings on Earth for a thousand years. This is mentioned in Revelation Chapter 20 numerous times. During the thousand year reign all nations will destroy all their weapons and there will be no more war. This is detailed in Isaiah 2:4. The nations leaders will be obliged to go to Jerusalem to worship Jesus and to learn of Gods Laws. Any that don't will be judged.
Solar changes during tribulation will revert the Earths ecology back to pre-flood times. People during the thousand year reign of Christ on Earth will live to be hundreds of years old. Isaiah 65:25. Satan will be bound and Gods curse on the Earth for sin will be removed. The ground will provide everything that man needs once again. The Law will be enforced and Criminals will be quickly executed. Isaiah 65:20.
The Milleial reign of Christ ends with another rebellion of the nations. The Earth and everything in it will then be burned up. See 2 Peter 3:10, Rev 20:9-11.
The Great White Throne Judgement
The saved of the millenium could live to be 1000 years old. They will then go into the new Heavens and new Earth without experiencing death. All of those raised at the Great White Throne Judgement without Jesus will go into the eternal lake of fire because their names are not written in the book of life. Those who have not known God or Jesus will be judged on their lives and their deeds and will be able to know Jesus and God and to make their choice free of Satan.
New Heaven and New Earth
Neither the present heavens (universe) or present Earth are clean in Gods sight. I believe one of the final prophecies in the Bible is that of a New Heavens and New Earth. God will create a New Heavens and a New Earth where the saved who have chosen him of their own free will because they wanted to (not because they had to) will love and worship him forever. No writing is good enough to describe the immense beauty and glory of the New Heavens and Earth for our brains to be able to visualise it. In the Bible it is described by John in Revelation 21-22.
