Ascension of Christ

The final battle of Armageddon will take place after the thousand-year period mentioned in the book of Revelation, where the righteous dwell with God in heaven and the wicked are judged. According to this account, Christ and His saints (and the Heavenly kingdom they now reside in) will come down to Earth, shielded from the wicked. Christ will raise the wicked dead, and both sides will engage in one final battle between good and evil. Satan and his followers will attempt to overthrow Christ's followers, but will be overcome by the power of Christ. Under His command, God destroys Satan and the wicked once and for all with an overwhelming fire. The Earth will be burned, having been quenched of all evil, then, according to the final two chapters of Revelation, the Earth will then be made new and restored to its original state before sin entered into the world. Then Christ and His redeemed saints will be declared victorious.
