Millennium
Revisited
Paradise Restored – Man and Israel Blessed –
Animal Kingdom Blessed – Land Blessed
First
Word
·
Often we hear of THE DAY OF THE LORD referring to His return and His 1,000 year reign
and then the final judgment, but to the Lord, a thousand years is only a day.
·
The Millennium is a very long period of
time, upon which the Gospel Message is gradually preached throughout the entire
world, but it is not necessarily 1,000 years. While the Gospel message is still opposed, it
is unhindered by Satan himself as he has been bound and sealed in the
bottomless pit. -- NYOBS 87.08 – MILLENNIALISM
·
The main purpose for “The End of Time” is the second
coming of Jesus Christ and His Millennial Reign; 1,000
years of PROBATION
which is the LAST
TIME man and angels
get an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and CHOOSE. – After that it’s the
judgment. -- NYOBS 25.28 - MILLENNIUM REIGN PURPOSE
·
The Latin word millennial comes from the Greek word
chilia which means 1,000 and
is mentioned SIX times in John‘s revelation and deals with Satan, known as the
Devil, the Old Serpent, the Dragon and the Beast, being BOUND for 1,000 years and Christ reigning and judging with the saints un-opposed
by the personage of Satan himself during that time.
·
Many Students of the Book hold different positions about
WHEN Jesus
will return for His Millennial reign; there are three main views:
1)
Premillennialism - Christ’s Second Advent precedes
the 1,000 year reign of peace and righteousness on earth. – The dead righteous
are resurrected to rule and reign with Him. (Revelation is
interpreted LITERALLY.)
2)
Postmillennialism – Christ’s Second Advent is after the 1.000 year reign of peace and righteousness
with the preaching of the gospel and the saving work of the Holy Spirit. (Revelation is interpreted SYMBOLICALLY.)
3) Amillennialism – “A” means NO or NOT; there is not a literal millennium reign, just
an unknown period of time. Christ’s Second Advent can be anytime now. - There is no “future”
millennial reign because it already exist NOW in heaven with Jesus and the saints of old; (Revelation is interpreted SYMBOLICALLY.)
·
At the Sound of the
Trumpet,
every Believer, Dead or Alive will be RAPTURED out of here and will stand before the
Judgment
seat of Christ and enjoy the Marriage Supper
of the Lamb. This will all
take place during the SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION, then we return to
earth with King Jesus and rule and reign with Him during the MILLENNIUM.
·
Students of
the Book hold
many different views about the Rapture, some believing it will occur; 1) Before the tribulations begin or, 2) During the tribulations, or 3) After
the tribulations. 4) Some say there
is NO RAPTURE at all.
·
NOTE: All Millennium views support that Satan has been bound and that Christ
is REIGNING with
the resurrected saints from the tribulations as well as those delivered up from
Paradise of old. – NYOBS 68.29 – THE THREE
DAYS -- NYOBS 56.27 - PARADISE & HELL
·
If you are confused about when Jesus will
return, then you are in good company as the angels in heaven and Jesus the Son
of God DID NOT KNOW EITHER; only
God the Father knows the day and hour; but we can know the SEASON of THE FIG TREE.
(Israel Nation 1948).

2 Peter 3:8 – A thousand years is but a day to the
Lord
8 But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years TO THE LORD, and

Satan Bound
1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand.

2 He
seized the DRAGON—that old
SERPENT,
who is the DEVIL, SATAN—and BOUND HIM in
chains for a THOUSAND YEARS.
3 The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the THOUSAND YEARS were finished.

4 Then I saw thrones, and
the people sitting
on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls
of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and the word of
God. They had
not worshiped the BEAST or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or
their hands. They all came to life again, and they REIGNED WITH CHRIST for a THOUSAND YEARS.

6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be PRIESTS

7 When the THOUSAND YEARS come to an end, SATAN will be let out of his prison.
8 He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth. He will gather them together for BATTLE —a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore.

The Purpose
- The
Millennium
is not God’s final goal for His creation; the stain of SIN is
still present and it’s during this last cleansing period that SIN
is completely eradicated, before ETERNITY.
- The
purpose of the Millennium is mainly for Israel, God’s chosen people to
become His Holy Nation and His Royal Priesthood. Primarily, the Jews will remain in
Israel while the Gentiles proclaim Jesus the Christ to all the other
Nations of the world. – THE PURPOSE;
a) To seize, bind, lock and
seal Satan;
the dragon, ancient serpent, the devil for 1,000 years.

and fire.
j) To fight and deliver
Israel from its enemies and destroy them.
k) To reclaim and gather the Nation of
Israel to Himself. – To breathe
life back into Israel.
l) To end the time of the Gentile
oppression that has in part blinded Israel’s salvation.
m) To set up a kingdom that
will never be destroyed and to reign over all the other nations.
n) To establishes a One World Government. – To provide righteous justice for all.
o) To install the resurrected
saints as rulers and judges.
p) To judge and settle civil disputes.

Gospel, His Covenants, Commands and Laws.
r) To impart Knowledge,
Wisdom, Understanding and Communication.
s) To give relief to those
that are troubled.
t) To bring Peace, Joy and
Gladness.

To bring salvation to the ends of the earth and teach His ways.
v) To establish a One World
Religion, from the rising to the
setting of the sun.

out His hands and give mankind one more chance to CHOOSE.

The
WHO
·
We certainly know about
the Millennium,
but little is written about those that remain on earth and the unbelievers that
have died. So what is going on during
this time?
·
Revelation chapter 20 speaks of the Millennium SIX
times telling us that during this
time our world will be a perfect world of peace with no fear, disease or pain with
Jesus ruling with a ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT and
a ONE WORLD RELIGION.
·
NOTE: While I
BELIEVE only surviving mortal unbelievers will initially be in the Millennium, I must acknowledge that there are students of the
Word who hold to the theory that
only BELIEVERS who survived the TRIBULATIONS will enter the Millennium.
True or not, it doesn’t change that “The Who” will have man’s sinful nature
and it will be purged during this time
or during the last romp of Satan before his End of Time and the beginning of Eternity.
·
There are four different
groups
in existence during the Millennium.
1) The first group “RULING”, the GLORIFIED; A) Those
who DIED in the FRIENDSHIP OF GOD from all time until the
time of Jesus the Christ. - B) Those who DIED as BELIEVERS in Jesus the Christ as
their Messiah. - C) Believers who WERE
MARTYRED or DIED
during the seven year tribulation period that did not take the mark of the
Beast. - D) BELIEVING JEWS AND BELIEVING GENTILES who are ALIVE at His coming; they will not experience DEATH, but will be changed into
glorified immortal bodies. - These SUB-GROUPS will be gathered to heaven
and then return with Christ to defeat the army of this world. After the battle we will rule and reign as Priest
with Christ on earth for 1,000 years. Our
assignments and responsibilities will be according to our faithfulness
and abilities that we exhibited during our lifetime.
2) The second group is “RULED”, the LIVING; A) UN-BELIEVERS
THAT SURVIVED the
tribulations in un-glorified bodies plus B) all
their DESCENDANTS in un-glorified bodies
born during the Millennium. – They ALL will exist in a mortal human life form,
BUT with an extended life span; living hundreds of years in peace and harmony, being taught
the precepts of God generation to generation; having many children and filling
the earth in many nations.
3) The third group is “RULLED”, THE ANIMAL
KINGDOM where
there will be such peace as all will
live together in harmony eating only the “produce” of the land like farm
livestock.
4) The fourth group
is “DAYEAD”; DEAD DEAD; Dead physically & Dead spiritually. All of
the dead from the first earth age that were OUT OF FRIENDSHIP OF GOD
plus all the UN-BELIEVERS of this age will remain DEAD
DEAD till the 1,000 years is accomplished and the final
judgment begins. (The FRIENDSHIP OF GOD are those that were in Paradise of old that Jesus preached the good news to
for three days after His resurrection.) - NYOBS 68.29 - THE THREE DAYS
·
NOTE 1: Evidence that the RULLED class
of inhabitants of the earth will have un-glorified
bodies is that 1) if they sin they will DIE prematurely; plus 2) they
will continue to procreate children which does not happen in a glorified body, 3) and for sure,
Satan is released from the bottomless pit to gather, NOT the glorified, but to gather the VAST amount
of un-glorified MAKE-BELIEVERS for
his ultimate insurrection.
·
NOTE 2: During the 1,000 years,
everyone will have been taught the precepts of God and those that reject it
will be purged with a Rod of Iron and that includes Israel; they will all
simply DIE,
resulting finally with only believers remaining in the Millennium Kingdom.
·
NOTE 3: Do not confuse the Millennium with the future Kingdom of God that
occurs after the final battle of Armageddon where only BELIEVERS with glorified bodies will
populate.
·
The Millennium is not necessarily a thousand years in time, but is a
time of God’s mercy, giving a period of probation before His final judgment. The curse that was on the People,
the Animals and the Land will be lifted; life will be much like it
was in the Garden of Eden.
- It’s in the Book –
Revelation 20:2-3 – Satan bound for 1,000 years in
the pit
2 He seized the DRAGON, that ancient SERPENT, who is the DEVIL, or SATAN, and BOUND HIM for a thousand years.
2 He seized the DRAGON, that ancient SERPENT, who is the DEVIL, or SATAN, and BOUND HIM for a thousand years.
3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and
sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must
be set free for a short time. (NIV2011)
Revelation
20:4-8 – Martyrs rule and reign with Jesus Christ
4 I saw thrones on which
were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of
those who had been BEHEADED because of their
testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. THEY HAD NOT WORSHIPED THE BEAST or its image and HAD NOT RECEIVED ITS MARK on their foreheads or their hands. THEY CAME TO LIFE
AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST a thousand
years. (THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME
TO LIFE
5 UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED.)
5 UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED.)
This is the first
resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but THEY WILL BE PRIESTS of God and of Christ and will REIGN with him for a thousand years.
7 When the thousand years are over,
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but THEY WILL BE PRIESTS of God and of Christ and will REIGN with him for a thousand years.

8 and will go out TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle.

Armageddon
- There
are actually two battles or wars that will take place on the Hill of
Megiddo; or I could say there is just one battle, but in two phases; it
starts, then is put on hold for 1,000 years and then picks up again for
the final conclusion.
- NYOBS 22.02 – ARMAGEDDON
- The First battle between the Muslims and Jews last for about 3 ½ years and is
about land.
- The Second
and final battle is between Satan and Jesus Christ and lasts for less than
one day. This battle is about souls.
This is when Satan is released from the bottomless pit where he has be
locked down for 1,000 years, to go out and for ONE LAST TIME deceive the
nations. Although the Nations know
and outwardly confess the Name of God, many will only have A FORM OF GODLINESS and
will be just MAKE BELIEVERS; the Book says there
will be so many deceived, that they will be LIKE THE SAND ON THE SEASHORE.
- DID YOU SEE IT;
for 1,000 years, man will have been living in peace, harmony, health and
prosperity, being taught daily the precepts of God; face to face with God’s
very own born again Priests with glorified immortal bodies. But every mortal man still has a SIN NATURE to
overcome. – The
Holy Spirit’s call enables a
man to reach out, but the condition of his SOUL determines if he WILL or Will NOT accept
Jesus as the Messiah; UNBELIEVABLY, even
after each living in God’s UTOPIA for
many hundreds of years, most DO NOT truly accept.
– It’s in the
Book –
Revelation 20:7 – ENUMERABLE deceived; MAKE
BELIEVERS
7 When the thousand years
are over,
SATAN
WILL BE RELEASED FROM HIS PRISON

Glorified Body
·
In my Belief System, I saw myself as a GLORIFIED SPIRIT different
and separated from human life
form on earth, but the Book says
we will NOT be a
spirit without a body. Our
Spirit will be in IMMORTAL physical bodies with God’s name written on our
forehead teaching God’s word as PRIEST; teaching those we rule
who have MORTAL physical bodies.
·
Immediately when we die, our spirit comes into
the presence of God who gave it. - At
the SECOND
RETURN OF CHRIST our old bodies
will be resurrected from wherever they are; the grave, the sea, the
garbage dump or dust in an old coffee can.
Our very same old corruptible body will then be transformed into a new glorified incorruptible
body that our Spirit can live throughout eternity in the form that
God created us for.
·
Our body will not look the
same,
but as our spirit truly is; we will still be recognizable. When Jesus was resurrected, He was not
readily recognized until He spoke. Just
like Jesus, we will have ALL our body parts, perfect vision, hearing and
incredible mobility.
·
We will be conformed to the image of Jesus
Christ, in the perfect prime of life, the age of 33 years. – THE YOUNG will be given the age they
lack and THE
OLD will have their youth restored;
both obtaining the fullness of the image of Jesus Christ.

Paradise Lost now restored
- God says that He will create a new earth; His description of THE MILLENNIUM sounds a whole lot like the GARDEN OF EDEN restored. - It is a TRANSITION PERIOD that is somewhat like
how the earth had been in the Garden of Eden
and the coming new earth and eternity. Better than it was, but not as good as
it’s going to be.
- The Nations
of the earth are
purged of unbelievers by Christ. – He then gives the earth to God,
then receives it back.
·
Judah and Israel will become one nation
once again, cleansed and forgiven for their sins and rebellion, and be purged
of un-believers; their fortunes will be restored and their towns rebuilt. God will
exchange their wood for bronze and their bronze for gold, and exchange their
stones for iron and their iron for silver.
·
One World Government;
there will be no murder, stealing or exploitation, just peace, harmony, joy and
righteousness. No one will be harmed or
destroyed. - Although people will still die,
it will be at a very, very OLD AGE. -
Because mortal man has a sinful nature, there will be an occasional SIN
of rebellion that will rise up and be SWIFTLY put down by God’s ROD OF IRON;
they will be cursed with an EARLY DEATH;
wrongs will quickly be put right. – (Death is not completely destroyed until the 1,000 years
of peace has ended, and Satan and his rebellion has been totally eradicated.)
·
One World Religion;
God’s laws will be put in their minds and written upon their hearts and He will
be their God and they will be His people. The world will be transformed
with a SPIRITUAL RESTORATION of
humanity by the Holy Spirit who will enable
the people to desire spiritual things; the brokenness of the
world will disappear and it will become
a place of Righteousness with Peace, Joy, Prosperity and Happiness, with no
sound of crying or weeping

NOT take their houses nor confiscate their vineyards.

Animals will live together in
harmony with no carnivores, they will all eat of the abundance of the land
except for the snake who will remain CURSED
to eat dust. The wolf will live with
the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and
the yearling together; and a little child will lead them around. The cow will feed with the bear, their young
will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like an ox. They will
neither harm nor destroy on all God’s holy mountain – (Some students of the Word believe that this is because the animals will
have obtained spiritual bodies and are no longer carnivores). SELAH

viper's nest and not be harmed

a full EXTENDED LIFE, living as long as
trees; well over HUNDREDS
of years; 100 will seem young; disease and
sickness will be gone; ordinary physical hazards will be removed except for the
incorrigible rebellious. - Those with glorified bodies will be Priest, teachers and administrators and will
reign in bodily form with Jesus Christ.
·
Prayers of
needs will be heard before we begin to pray and the answer dispatched while we
are still praying. – We will be administrators and Priest
of the Most High God. –
The Lord’s
Prayer begins to be answered; the WILL of God is being done on
EARTH as it is in heaven.

Physical DEFECTS will be gone and those that are blind, deaf or
mute will be healed, the lame will stand on RESURRECTED
LEGS and
fall on THANKSGIVING KNEES.

There are Three Jerusalem’s: Historical, Millennial and Eternal. – In the
Millennial, Jerusalem will be the

and instructions. Our joy will not be just for 1,000 years in the Millennial Jerusalem,
but forever in a Brand New Jerusalem in Eternity.

The Final Kingdom after the 1,000 years reign of Christ will have no more death or sorrow or
crying or pain. All these things will be
gone forever. - No one knows when Christ will return, but it will be 360 days
times 7 years or 2,520 days from the beginning of the 7 year tribulation period, to his appearing. - God said it not me - Matthew 24:29-31

there is a time shift between verses 17 which speaks of the FINAL
eternal kingdom while verses 18-25 are concerned with the description of the Millennium age itself. – Verse 20 locks down the MILLENNIUM
with the mention of the presence of DEATH which CANNOT be present
in ETERNITY to come. - It’s in the Book -

will see and admire. - God will make a new covenant with Israel and write His
instructions deep within their Hearts. - They will become humbled in repentance;
cleansed and
forgiven of all their sins of rebellion against Him; NOT because they deserve
it, but that His own Holy Name might be glorified.

lasting throughout each progressive generation in order that His name might be
glorified throughout the Earth.

Israel will teach the message of the
Gospel to all the other nations. The
example of God’s goodness and favor toward Israel will cause the other Nations
to seek the ONE GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; seeking to be taught how to
walk in His ways.

With Satan’s interference
confined
to the bottomless pit and the Holy Spirit LOOSE teaching God’s laws; we will
have a society that will be blessed beyond what the mind can imagine, and there

to serve God will simply be destroyed with a Rod of Iron. - Finally the world
will be filled with people that know the Lord God, as the waters cover the seas.

Angels will gather up ALL the Believers, those on Earth

a form of
Godliness; Make Believers.

This proves that being in the presence of Jesus ruling
and reigning in peace for 1,000 years; that man’s own Free Will sin nature will lead him away from God unless man’s own spirit; His SOUL cooperates with the Holy Spirit. - Your Soul is who you really are; your Soul is your intellect that directs what you do; either
your SPIRIT
or your FLESH will
control your SOUL.

The Take Away
- Concerning
the Rapture, I have commented very
little on the subject; many reject the rapture doctrine completely, but
whether you embrace it or not, The Book says
as soon as the silver cord is broken we will have been judged. When THE BELIEVER dies, his spirit leaves his body and is
present with the Lord. – When Jesus returns for the Millennium reign, living
believers on earth will not
experience death, but will be TRANSLATED into glorified immortal bodies and join the vast
army host of RESURRECTED believers in their new
glorified immortal bodies. - NYOBS 88.02 - GLORIFIED BODY
- Those
born during the Millennium will have borne
witness to the love and peace of God, but many embrace God because
everybody else does; it’s just politically correct. - They have no
relationship with God; only a FORM OF GODLINESS which
denies His power. - This proves man’s heart is inherently evil and ALL would be doomed without the Holy
Spirit’s drawing.
·
At the end of the Millennium
Satan will be released from the BOTTOMLESS PIT to go out and deceive the nations once again, specifically
the MAKE BELIVERS, those with only a
form of Godliness. Satan is identified with
a number of names, the Devil, Lucifer, the Dragon, the Serpent, the Deceiver, the
Destroyer and more. –
(The pit is bottomless because it is round and in the center of the earth; PONDER THAT, no documentation;
just fun to ponder.) -SELAH-
- Many
Lukewarm in their faith succumb and follow Satan when he is released
from the abyss after the 1,000 years. – I was watching an old movie “The Blue
Lagoon”, a time of innocence and the teenager was saying the Lord’s
Prayer, “Our father who is in heaven, your will be done with
liberty and justice for all; Amen.” -
He had a MIXTURE of the Word and the World;
he had a FORM
OF GODLINESS, but no
relationship.
·
When the Millennium and Armageddon
concludes,
none will doubt that God is God and
there is no other. There will never ever be another rebellion in heaven, and
the story of Satan, Adam and Jesus will be told and retold.
·
Whatever view you hold on Jesus’ return and His
Millennium reign; it does not affect your salvation, which God has already made
abundantly clear in the Book. - There are no new prophecies, but
there is new enlightenment and I believe it pleases God when we search out His
Word to learn His secrets that He has sealed up for us until the “The End
of Time”.
·
You might just ask the
question,
“Why is God going to all this trouble; why didn’t He just trash the earth,
Satan and the fallen angels in the very beginning”?
·
The answer is NOT about what’s going
on earth, but is about what’s going on in heaven. For millions of years, all of the remaining authorities,
principalities,
powers
and Angels
have been WITNESS
to the patience and love of God as He has waited eons for Satan, His highest
creation to repent. – Jesus Christ; God’s Word has now returned
to Him in the fullness of time and has accomplished the purpose for which He
was sent. – It is Finished -
God
NOW has a CHOSEN PEOPLE, a ROYAL
PRIESTHOOD and a HOLY
NATION.
