ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?
THE  "GREAT  AND  TERRIBLE  DAY  OF  THE  LORD".

(Joel 2:31 NEB).

By assembling nations to desolate Babylon/Iraq, Jehovah has been remembering this part of "Babylon the great", giving "her" the cup "filled with the fierce wine of His vengeance." (Rev 16:19,21 NEB).  He is also gathering the nations of this world and leading them down to the "Valley of the Lord's Judgement".  (Joel 3:2 NEB).  As  nations gather in their collective spirit rebellion against Him, they are judged on account of their ill-treatment of His beloved people and inheritance spiritual "Israel" whom they have scattered among their nations. (3:1-3 NEB).  "On  that  day" when Jehovah reverses the fortunes of "Judah" and "Jerusalem" and pours out a Spirit of favour upon them, He will also pour out a Spirit of Judgement upon the rebellious spirits of all mankind. (2:28 NEB).  Each one gathered to His "Valley of Decision" is there according to the level of their spirit rebellion against Him, so that their spirits may be judged.  (3:13-16 NEB).

After having defeated the wide-ranging ambitions of Iraq's military dictatorship, the coalition of world nations are rallying to each other's help to establish a form of peace and security among Arab countries of the Middle East, particularly a Palestinian State alongside the State of Israel, and trying to settle their differences. As  it is written: "Rally to each other's help, all you nations round about... Let all the nations hear the call  to  arms and come to the Valley of the Lord's Judgement". (3:11,12 NEB). But as these nations are brought to Judgement by His Spirit "on behalf of Israel, My own possession", Jehovah will be "a refuge for His people and the defence of Israel."  (3:2 & 16 NEB).

"THE WILD BEAST AND THE KINGS OF
  THE EARTH AND THEIR ARMIES".  (Rev 19:19).

Throughout the world, members of the political "wild beast" gathering to wage war with The Christ Michael our Lord and his heavenly armies will be captured and abyssed while still alive. (19:19,20). The rest of those with the "mark" of the "wild beast" will be killed off by the "long sword" of the Spirit of his mouth in accordance with the requirements of Godly Justice.  (13:16,17.  19:21).

The Christ Michael is also called Faithful and True and the Word of God.  (19:11,13). When commissioned by the Spirit authority of Almighty God Jehovah, The Christ Michael the First-born Son and Word of God will administer the Spirit of the Judgement of God in the lives of all mankind, which will arouse great anger in the majority. (3:10. 11:18).  It  will expose the cowards, the faithless, the "disgusting thing", murderers, fornicators, those practicing spiritism, idol-worshippers, and all the liars. Because they have not been written in "the Lamb's scroll of life", their lot is the "second death". (21:8 & 27). They will be made to see how they sinned against their Lifegiver during their lifetime and how they dismissed the thought of penitence while the way was still open to them. (2 Esdras 9:10-12 NEB).  As  for  rebellious dispositions among those left remaining after the Judgement, they will be shepherded with a Spirit corrective "rod" of authority from heaven until they begin walking on the "Way of Holiness".  (2:26,27)  (Isaiah 35:8  10).
