From the Book of Revelation    185 

Second Ascension and Second Assumption 

    For a brief time before and after the first Resurrection, Christ teaches and 

leads the Church on earth. But Christ does not remain on earth to take the 

position of an earthly king or of a pope. Christ must return to Heaven. 

(When Christ returns to earth at the end of the Antichrist's reign, the Virgin 

Mary returns with him.) Mary must return to Heaven also. Therefore, Christ 

ascends to Heaven for a second time and Mary is assumed into Heaven a 

second time. 

Second Pentecost 

    A brief time after Christ ascends to Heaven, Christ sends the Holy Spirit 

to renew the Church and the world. This second Pentecost is the beginning 

of the time of true peace and holiness on earth. Everyone on earth is a 

Catholic Christian and all adhere to the one true faith. A Third Testament of 

Sacred Scripture is written. All receive the holy Eucharist and all obey the 

teachings of the one true Faith. The Millennium of peace and holiness 

continues for well over a thousand years. The earth becomes a place of great 

beauty and peace and harmony and insight and holiness, pleasing to God in 

a myriad of ways and for a very long time. 

The End of the Millennium (Rev 20:3, 7 10) 

    The devil will be bound and thrown into the bottomless pit for a thousand 

years (Rev 20:1 2),  that he should deceive the nations no more, till the 

thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.  

(Rev 20:3). Thus there will be an end to the time of the Millennium. Even 

though that time is a time of great holiness and virtue on earth, a time of 

great glory for the Church, it must end so that God's plan can reach 

completion. 

     And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his 

prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners 

of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number 

is like the sand of the sea.  (Rev 20:7 8). 

    God gives the earth over a  thousand years of holiness, a long period of 

time when Christianity and Christ's teachings rule over all the earth. Yet 

when God allows the devil to present an alternative to goodness and 

holiness, many choose evil over good. Those who choose evil and who 

prepare for war against God's people are called Gog and Magog. 

    The names Gog and Magog represent men and women. In English and in 

Hebrew, the words for male and female, or man and woman are related
