Hello all! I know it’s been a while, and I apologize, but I will do my best to get caught up on posting messages over the next few days. This message is the last in Terry’s short series on the Millennial Reign of Christ (the second message did not get recorded…sorry!) To listen to this message, simply click play on the audio player below.
Millennial Reign
New Heaven & New Earth will come after the Millennium. The Millennium is to fulfill covenant promises to Israel, including the building of Ezekiel’s temple.
Israel has not had a king since the exile – the throne of David has been empty, waiting for Jesus, where He will reign from during the Millennium.
1/3 of the Jews will survive the Tribulation & will enter the Millennial Kingdom.
The White Throne Judgment happens at the end of the Millennium, followed by the Eternal State in the New Heavens & the New Earth.
Amos 9:13-15 – the bounty of the harvest in the Millennium & the Eternal State.
There will be no evil, no rebellion going into the Millennium. He will order everything according to His righteousness. The saints will help administer His kingdom of everlasting righteousness on earth.
Longevity of life will return (Isaiah 65). The earth will be repopulated. Most important change: God will reign with man, just the way He originally intended it. No faith will be required, because Jesus will be on earth, in charge of everything.
The knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth like the water fill the oceans (Isaiah 11:9).
The presence of God will make fear unnecessary. There will be total peace & joy.
Isaiah 60:1-22 fully describes the relationship between Israel & the nations during the Millennium.
