    Scripture gives the impression he judges the world during the reign of the antichrist

    But does Jesus judge us for a period of time at the second coming. He talks about keeping oil in your lamp and that people will beg mountains to fall on them during the reign of the antichrist. And to look up, that redemption draws near ..he comes when there is peace and security, the end of the antichrist reign there is no peace or security.. just destruction.

    The church has not specified this

    When He returns, it will be for the general judgment. The wicked will be destroyed by fire (Apoc. 20:9) meaning many who live during that time will die only to be resurrected shortly after. The same rules apply to souls alive during Antichrist as they do now, right up until those last men are consumed by fire. So, if they repent with perfect contrition in their souls, then they will most likely be saved. Those living just on the earth during those times will be caught up into the air to meet Christ.

    Fr. Sylvester Berry believed that the Antichrist would have his reign of destruction, the most terrible time in human history, followed by a few centuries of the triumph of the Church with the last affront by Satan being that of Gog and Magog. All of whom will be ultimately destroyed by the power and majesty of His coming.

    CHAPTER XX

    7. And when the thousand years shall be finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go forth, and seduce the nations, which are over the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, and shall gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sands of the sea.
    8. And they came upon the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city.
    9. And there came down fire from God out of heaven, and devoured them; and the devil, who seduced them, was cast into the pool of fire and brimstone, where both the beast
    10. And the false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.


    7, 8. At the close of the period, symbolized by a thousand years, Satan will be loosed again for a short time during which he will seduce many nations. From the four quarters of the earth he will assemble an army, numerous as the sands of the sea, to war against the Church,—the camp of the saints. Jerusalem the beloved, then the city of the Popes, will be the chief point of attack; but God will intervene in its defense by raining down fire upon the besieging hosts.
    9. These hostile nations are symbolized as Gog and Magog,1—names made famous by the prophecy of Ezechiel in which their invasion and terrible destruction by fire is de-scribed at length. “Thou shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army. And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud to cover the earth….And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: and I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him…And I will send fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord….Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken….And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land. And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God.”2
    10. Satan is now cast into hell to be tormented with the beast and the false prophet for all eternity.

    The order of events immediately preceding the last judg-ment can be fairly well established from various passages of Scriptures. The revolt of Gog and Magog will be punished by a deluge of fire from heaven which will probably occasion the conversion of great numbers. At some time after this the signs foreboding the coming of Christ will strike terror into all hearts,1 and the day of judgment will be near at hand. “When these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.”2 “But of the day and hour no one knoweth, no not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.”3 St. Paul says that the “day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night”; men will be found in the midst of their occupations as happened at the deluge of the days of Noe.4
    At length there “shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all tribes of earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with much power and majesty. And He shall send His angels with a trumpet and a great voice, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds of heaven, from the farthest parts of the heaven to the utmost bounds of them.”5 At the sound of the trumpet the dead shall arise. The just found living upon earth in that day and the just who arise from the dead shall be caught up into the air to meet Christ and be united with Him forever. “The dead who are with Christ shall arise first. Then we who are alive, who are left shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ into the air and so shall we be always with the Lord.”6
