What Happens To The Bad People When Jesus Comes Back?
Answer: When Jesus comes back to earth, people who know Jesus will be glad.
But people who don’t know Jesus will be very sad and afraid because they will be judged for their sin.
Those who have not believed in Jesus as their Savior will be punished and sent to hell, far away from God.
That is one of the reasons God urges us to tell our friends about Jesus-so they can join us and God in heaven.
Key verse: [Nonbelievers] will be punished in everlasting hell. They will be forever separated from the Lord.
They will never see the glory of his power. (2 Thessalonians 1:9)

Does God fight everyone that is or was bad? Will the bad people be crushed when the new Jerusalem lands on them?
Note to parents: Be careful not to divide the world between “good people” and “bad people.”
Many so-called good people don’t trust in Christ, and they will be judged for their sin.
Meanwhile, some Christians do bad things, yet they will receive eternal life because of their faith in Christ.
How Can God Move A Whole City Down To Earth?
Answer: The apostle John had a vision of God bringing the new Jerusalem, the Holy City, down from heaven.
We don’t know exactly how this will work, but it will happen-God can do anything.
He created all the stars and planets, as well as all the plants, animals, and human beings.
He can certainly create a new city and bring it to earth.
