All nations fall and Jesus Christ reigns. After the judgment of the nations, Jesus Christ will rule the world. There will be a thousand years of peace on earth.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31-32).

This August, the 2016 Summer Olympics are held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There are thousands of athletes from 194 nations, various territories and a special refugee team. The original games were a competition of city-states held in the ancient city of Olympia in the Greek empire. During the games, there was an Olympic truce so athletes could travel safely. The winner received a crown made out of olive leaves.

Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain. And every man that strives for the mastery is controlled in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible crown (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).
In 1894, the modern Olympic were revived to encourages exercise and physical fitness that transformed into the premier global sporting event. The games promote athletic competition, a spirit of cooperation among nations and world peace. During the Cold War, there was fierce competition between the Soviet Union and the United States. Today, the focus is toward global initiatives such as clean water, poverty and climate change. For two weeks, the nations of the world come together in the name of sport.

The nations also come together for war. The Olympics were cancelled while fighting World War I and World War II. During the Cold War, some nations boycotted the Olympics for political reasons. In the future, all nations will come together for a future war in the valley of Megiddo in northern Israel. Then all nations will be judged by God.

I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land (Joel 3:2).

He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
