The wicked, satan and his demons will be thrown into the lake of fire and the new earth will be a reality. (the rapture is also debated to be pre, mid, and post tribulation) postmillennialism -- essentially, this view states that the church is the agent of change in the world, and through the preaching of the gospel, a millennia of peace will be a reality.
