Chapter Thirty-Nine/The Warrior King Triumphs at Armageddon - The Great Evening Meal of God -- Conclusion

 All others who were not directly part of the government but who were nevertheless an irreformable part of this corrupt world of mankind are likewise "killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the white horse." Jesus will pronounce them deserving of death. Since in their case the lake of fire is not mentioned, are we to expect that they will have a resurrection? Nowhere ae we told those executed by Jehovah's Judge at that time are to be resurrected. As Jesus himself stated, all those who are not "sheep" go off into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels," That is, into everlasting cutting off." (Matthew 25:33,41, 46) This climaxes "the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men." - 2 PETER 3:7; NAHUM 1:2, 7-9; MALACHI 4:1. 

In this way, all of Satan's earthly organization comes to an end. The "former heaven" of political rulership has passed away. The "earth," that seemingly permanent system that Satan has built up over the centuries, is now utterly destroyed. The "sea" the mass of wicked humanity opposed to Jehovah is no more. (Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10) What, though, does Jehovah have in mind for Satan himself? John goes on to tell us.
