No, the passage in Isaiah 11 describe the millennial kingdom, during which Satan is bound.Atkin said:Your response was intended to explain how life is like while Satan is sealed
in the pit using those verses you gave. How does one identify verses THAT DESCRIBE sinless LIFE after the lake of fire .. that is, ETERNAL PEACE AND HARMONY after the lake of fire judgement
and differentiate between verses that describe life in the 1000 year interval of life with Satan sealed?
What happens after he is thrown into the lake of fire is this:
Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer {any} sea.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
Rev 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be {any} death; there will no longer be {any} mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
Rev 21:22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Rev 21:23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp {is} the Lamb.
Rev 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
Rev 21:25 In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed;
Rev 21:26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;
Rev 21:27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev 22:1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
Rev 22:2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve {kinds of} fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him;
Rev 22:4 they will see His face, and His name {will be} on their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And there will no longer be {any} night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.
We have a millennial kingdom to look forward too, and then after Satan's last attempt to cause rebellion, we have an eternity in the New Jeusalem - forever and ever.That is, how does the Bible differentiate between WHAT PERIODS IT DESCRIBES as peaceful times for humans since WE HAVE 2 PERIODS in question. One is supposed to be peace for a period, and the other is Peace
after the Lake fof fire.
Look at Zechariah 14 better. It doesn't say that nobody sins. Everyone is required to go to jerusalem once a year to wroship the King who is Jesus. Those who do not are are punished.What makes you assume that the life described in Isaiah 11:1-10. and Zechariah 14:16-21 as taking place in a period BEFORE THE LAKE OF FIRE and not the joyful period after the lake of fire judgement. It is easy to confuse the two periods.
Bear in mind that Peace and No Sin is the description of life
after the lake of fire judgement as well.
Another important point - Zechariah 14 indicates that there aren't many left after the Second Coming. "Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up year to year to worship the King." (Zech. 14:16).
Yet, when Satan is released from the abyss and stirs rebellion, so many follow that "the number of them will be like the sand of the sea." People are born during the 1000 yrs.
2. After 1000 years of Christ's rule, humans born would have no memory of sin, so how could they follow Satan when Sin is out of existence for SO LONG.?
But your premise is wrong. Satan is bound for 1000 years, but sin is not out of existence durring the millenial reign. Those that are born during the millennial reign will have a human nature.
What I have not seen you do is prove that Satan is bound and has no influence on this earth. I don't know why you are working so hard to prove that.
What is your endtime postion? Are you amillennial or preterist?
