(Revelations 10: 1-6)
The Book of Revelations, in the Holy Bible, tells of a mighty angel with a little book. John the Revelator is asked to eat the book. It tastes sweet but then gives him a bitter stomach. The angel swears that there shall be time no longer.
It seems to me that this means that we mortals are sorely lacking in our understanding of how time works. That is an intriguing thought. One that is beyond mortal understanding. But it IS clear that our Savior Jesus Christ will return in clouds of glory with great power. He will put a stop to the wickedness on Earth. There will be no more war or evil behavior. He will also bring peace and joy to the righteous people here on Earth.
Let me explain this as I believe it. Jesus will spare all the good people of the Earth and that includes most of those who have had faith in Him. I also believe that the good people who are not Christians will still be spared. SOME of the good people of the Earth WILL be killed by the wicked before Jesus returns. Those people will be resurrected and return with Jesus Christ at his second coming.
After any mortal dies we go to the Spirit World. There we are at peace if we were good on Earth. People who did not have the Gospel of Jesus Christ will have the opportunity to accept it in the Spirit World. All those who have repented of their sins will be able to be resurrected at the start of the Millennium or at some time during the Millenium. The Millennium is a term that means 1000 years of peace.
Before Jesus comes back the very wicked will be destroyed. In fact, the very wicked will probably mostly destroy each other before Christ arrives. The rest of the very wicked will be destroyed by fire - possibly fire from heaven in the form of a meteorite shower.
The survivors, or the more righteous people, will rise to greet Jesus and the resurrected people. Then the good people of the Earth will be able to live on the Earth for 1000 years of peace. During the 1000 years of the Millennium, the wicked who have died will live as spirits in the Spirit Prison side of the Spirit World. On Earth, during the Millennium, everyone will be able to learn about and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is about how there is an eternal price to pay for our sins - and we all sin. So we can not return to live with our Father and Mother in Heaven. But Jesus suffered and died on the cross to pay that eternal price for our sins. So because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can repent and return one day to live with our Eternal Parents and our Elder Brother Jesus.
So after the Millennium, I think, is the time when the Mighty Angel will swear that there will be time no longer. Then the time will come when we all go to final judgment and we will go to either the Celestial Kingdom, the Terrestrial Kingdom, or the Telestial Kingdom. The VERY VERY wicked will go to Outer Darkness.
The best place to go to live for eternity is the Celestial Kingdom. There we can live in glory with our spouse and our family for all eternity. We also can be able to experience Eternal Progression. That means that we can continue to learn and progress for all eternity and one day become gods ourselves. By the way, after the Millennium, the Earth will be burned and sort of resurrected into a ball of glass-like Celestial material that will become the Celestial Kingdom.
The next place is the Terrestrial Kingdom. This is the place good people who were misled on Earth will go. They are honest people but did not fully accept the Gospel and receive the ordinances of salvation like baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and being sealed in God's temple for Time and All Eternity.
The lowest kingdom of glory is the Telestial Kingdom. Wicked people who paid the price for their sins in Spirit Prison will go there. The absolute worse place is Outer Darkness. Some people think that might be a Black Hole. I don't really know. Satan and his angels will go to Outer Darkness along with very very wicked people who knew the truth but openly rejected the Savior and did very very wicked things in their lives.
Of course we all sin, but when we repent the Lord, AKA Jesus Christ has performed His atonement to make our forgiveness possible. So we will all be able to seek forgiveness and do our best to do better. Our Heavenly Parents will welcome all who repent. Of course, receiving the ordinances of Salvation is also necessary to enter the Celestial Kingdom and live with them, and live with our Elder Brother Jesus, and live with our spouse & worthy family members.
