Hello All,
Thank you all for your responses. This is the most important issue I wanted to discuss with you all. I was a bit worried that it could be a touchy subject but you all seem very open to talk about it. This is the Big issue in apocalyptic scriptures.
On the other side of the Battle of Armageddon, in Christ's 'Kingdom Come' of Messianic Reign, there really is only one enemy of Christ's to worry about. That foe is, what Jesus calls,
'the desolating abomination spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place'. All of Christ's, and His Church's, other foes are defeated at the Battle of Armageddon. It is the Desolating abomination, standing on Holy Ground, who eventually, tens of thousands of years from now, will be the death of Zion and Messianic Reign on earth. (Jesus rules in heaven forever after Zion dies on earth) Please let me explain.
Four fall from power at the Battle of Armageddon, Satan, the harlot, the false prophet, and the beast. Satan is man's evil pride in the beast, harlot and false prophet. All of these four were given power on earth by God.
Satan, the beast, is secular power. God was King over Israel from the Exodus until 587 B.C., when God handed Israel over to be ruled by man's evil pride in secular power, King Nebuchadnezzar and his successors.
Fallen Angel, Morning Star, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon
The harlot is Ephraim. Jacob/Israel bypassed his twelve sons/tribes, the Jews included, and placed the blessing of Abraham on his son Joseph's son, Ephraim. The blessing of Abraham is, world dominant power, great wealth, and myriads of descendants. Jacob prophesied that Ephraim would grow to become a multitude of nations. Ephraim is the white race of today.

The false prophet is the Jews. King David and the Jewish religion are given power from God. The Jewish religion looses all it power at Armageddon.
The Fall of the False Prophet
Jesus takes over as King and Ruler of the world upon victory at the Battle of Armageddon. Jesus will Rule with and through His Church, the Catholic Church.
With Jesus Ruling the world, and not secular power, how could things ever go bad? Jesus will never let us down! It is not Jesus, but His, Messianic Reign, co-rulers, who, eventually, bring us to doomsday. If, under Messianic Reign, there were a bad guy who takes world dominant power from Christ's Apostles, then this would mean that Messianic Reign had ended. This cannot happen. Once Jesus Rules the world, He will rule forever. Christ's Apostles will Rule the world, with Jesus, right on through doomsday.
Satan is man's evil pride on earth. Using the 'sword of Christ's mouth, the binding of sins, Church anathema, Apocalyptic Angels/Apostolic Successors, chain, man's evil pride, which is Satan, in hell, at the Battle of Armageddon.
Satan, code-name Babylon, Falls at the Battle of Armageddon
Tens of thousands of years later, right before doomsday, Satan, aka the dragon, is released from hell to wreak havoc on the world. Satan is man's evil pride. The key which releases Satan from hell is papal pride. It is Christ's Apostles themselves who, eventually, become the 'desolating abomination standing on Holy ground', aka the 'anti-Christ'.
This is a good thing to know, understand, and prepare for, before we go into Messianic Reign. What do you think?
from:
'The Desolating Abomination' 'Standing in the Holy Place'.
NAB2 REV 13:11 (Also compare to DAN 7:3)
Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lambs but spoke like a dragon.
NAB2 MAT 24:3
As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said,
Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age? ...//...MAT 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come. When you see the desolating abomination spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place
NAB REV 17:7
I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns.
The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction.
NAB REV 20:1
Thousand Year Reign. Then I saw an angel come down from heaven, holding the key to the abyss and a huge chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil or Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. The angel hurled him into the abyss, which he closed and sealed over him. He did this so that the dragon might not lead the nations astray until the thousand years are over. After this, the dragon is to be released for a short time.
NAB REV 20:7
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. They invaded the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. The Devil who had led them astray was thrown into the pool of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
