24 June; Rev 20, the second 1000 years

Why God release Satan after 1000 years?
And why Satan after kept in Abyss for the frist 1000 years return to wage war against God?

The nature of man it seems is to go against God, the evil that is in us.

The book of life.
But ultimately, who wins? The one who lose is Satan and those who rebel against God. They are thrown into the pit of sulphur forever.

The release symbols God mercy but man does not that that grace from God.

Stiff-neck. No fear. But the fact and the real fear comes in the word FOREVER.

Forever, you will be away from God, forever you will stay in that pit of sulphur. Even if you cannot imagine how the suffering, the smell, the pain ... But the word is forever.

The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 v19-31
The rich man died and was spearated from God - being in torment v23. He beg Abraham and to send Lazarus to dip the end of his fingers in water and cool his tongue (v24). This is the picture of what happen in the pit of sulphur is like. "I am in anguish in this flame" (v24).

But the word is forever. "a great chasm has been fixed.. who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there..." v26

Miss the first chance, probable a second, for the word is forever.

Work with the probably that the first chance will come and the second will not. 
Therefore, check that urgency in our heart.

Luke 16 v 27. "I beg you, to send Lazarus to my father's house..."

We are the ones that God will be sending us. Therefore see the future and the reality.
