He will crush your head (Gen. 3:15).

There are still more than 1,000 years until Satan's head is crushed (Rev. 20:7-10). Before that happens, the Bible announces the following shocking events. To begin, the nations will proclaim “peace and security” (1 Thes. 5:2, 3). The great tribulation will begin “suddenly” when the nations attack all false religions (Rev. 17:16). Afterwards, Jesus will judge all people and separate those who are like sheep from those who are like goats (Matt. 25:31-33, 46). Meanwhile, Satan will not sit idly by. Filled with hatred, he will incite a coalition of nations, which the Bible calls Gog of the land of Magog, to attack Jehovah's people.​—Ezek. 38:2, 10, 11. At some point, the rest of the anointed Christians will be reunited in heaven. There they will join Christ and his heavenly armies to fight the war of Armageddon, which will put an end to the great tribulation (Matt. 24:31; Rev. 16:14, 16). Finally, the Thousand Year Reign of Christ over the entire Earth will begin (Rev. 20:6). w23.10 20, 21 paras. 9, 10.

How much do we know about the future by reading the Bible?

Let's think about the prophecy that Jehovah gave in the Garden of Eden and that appears in Genesis 3:15.b It refers to events that would fulfill God's purpose but that would take place thousands of years later. One of those events is that the main part of the woman's offspring, the Messiah, would come from the lineage of Abraham (Gen. 22:15-18). Some time later, in the year 33 AD, Jesus was wounded in the heel, as had been predicted (Acts 3:13-15). And there are still more than 1,000 years until the final part of the prophecy is fulfilled and Satan's head is crushed (Rev. 20:7-10). But the Bible gives many more details of what will happen before the enmity between Satan's system and Jehovah's organization reaches its climax.

a) What events will take place soon? b) How can we prepare our minds and hearts? (See note).

Let us remember the shocking events announced in the Bible. To begin, the nations will proclaim “peace and security” (1 Thes. 5:2, 3). Then the great tribulation will begin “suddenly” when the nations attack all false religions (Rev. 17:16). Later, supernatural phenomena may occur when “the Son of Man is seen coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matt. 24:30). Jesus will judge all people and separate those who are like sheep from those who are like goats (Matt. 25:31-33, 46). Meanwhile, Satan will not sit idly by. Filled with hatred, he will incite a coalition of nations, which the Bible calls Gog of the land of Magog, to attack Jehovah's people (Ezek. 38:2, 10, 11). At some point, the rest of the anointed Christians will be reunited in heaven. There they will join Christ and his heavenly armies to fight the war of Armageddon, which will put an end to the great tribulation (Matt. 24:31; Rev. 16:14, 16).c Finally, the Thousand Year Reign of Christ over the entire Earth will begin (Rev. 20:6).

What does the prospect of living forever mean to you? (See also images).

Let's now move to a more distant future. The Bible says that our Creator “has put eternity in the hearts” of human beings (Eccl. 3:11). Can you imagine what this means for you and your relationship with Jehovah? The book Draw Close to Jehovah, page 319, makes this striking comment: “When we have lived hundreds, thousands, millions, or even billions of years, we will know much more about Jehovah than we do today. But even so we will see that we still have many wonderful things to learn about him. [...] We cannot even imagine how incredible and varied life in Paradise will be. But, of everything we do there, the most beautiful thing will be getting closer to Jehovah every day.” And in the meantime, what other themes from God's Word can we explore?

How can we look up to the heavens? Give an example.

The Word of God allows us to get a small idea of ​​the glory of Jehovah “up in the highest” (Is. 33:5). The Bible reveals impressive aspects about Jehovah and the heavenly part of his organization (Isa. 6:1-4; Dan. 7:9, 10; Rev. 4:1-6). For example, we can read about the great things Ezekiel saw when “the heavens were opened” and he began “to see visions of God” (Ezek. 1:1).
