imagine the new jerusalem. the earthly kingdom of Jesus is here and now, we are the kingdom of God on earth. Jesus is on the throne, waiting. we are even now reigning with him, and will reign with him for ever. jesus isn't coming to live again on earth, he is coming to take us to the Father. that is where we will be when he pours out his final wrath against all the ungodly who hate him. we look for a new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. the new jerusalem. the jerusalem that is above, where the Israel of God dwells even now. we are the circumcision who worship in Spirit. amen
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, *that he should deceive the nations no more* till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. {Revelation 20:1-3} --Are there still temptations and sin in this world? Yes! So satan is not yet chained in chains of circumstance. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, *and judgment was given unto them* and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and *which had not worshipped the beast neither his image neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands* and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {Revelation 20:4} --The test of the mark of the beast has not come to pass, so the thousand years is yet still a future event in the plan of salvation. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. *This is the first resurrection* Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such *the second death hath no power* but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. {Revelation 20:5} --"the rest of the dead" because the living ungodly have been destroyed by the brightness of Christ second coming and His saints have been either resurrected or transformed in his likeness in a twinkling of an eye. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus will raise up us also by Jesus, and will present us with you. {2 Corinthians 4:14} To the end [objective] he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness *before* God, even our Father, *at the coming* of our Lord Jesus Christ *with all his saints* {1 Thessalonians 3:13} ^ Our Father who art in heaven.
This is a total misunderstanding of Christ's mission. He told us clearly, "The Kingdom of Heaven comes not with observation. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." He warned us not to listen to those who say "Lo here", or "Lo there" that Christ is in this world is secret places or in the desert. He said He would come in the sky in the sight of all the world. This man does not understand the prophetic scripture because he takes it entirely literally. But prophecy in both the old and new Testaments is to be understood spiritually. Be not deceived.
This is not truth, , The millennium is not a producer of sinners again, Jesus would have to die again for all those who would repent and receive Jesus second death for them, this is preposterous ! Not three comings of Jesus only two at the end, at the Day of the Lord for judgment, the sinners to death and the saved to heave. Satan and his followers will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire and the earth will also be made new, where the saints ,from come to live there for ever.
