The Biblical End Times are playing out before our very eyes. Make no mistake, you ARE living in the final days before Jesus returns and time is running out. The Bible says “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 Jesus answered, “I’m the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 I pray you make your eternal destiny secure through Jesus right now. Ask Him into your heart and to save you right now, you’ll be glad you did.
Before the millennial reign of Christ, we will be drawn up to meet him in the air and we will be changed in an instant. We will be in our "glorified bodies," free of any disease or defect, immortal, and we will be the Lord's servants in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas for that 1000 year reign from the rebuilt temple. Glory to God!
Nope! Only those who will reign with Jesus will go to heaven. They will be the Kings and Priests over the earth for the 1000 years. The rest of mankind will be resurrected to the earth as the subjects of that rulership that Jesus and his corulers will govern.
@@MrRklewis Sorry about that but no. My post above explains that we will be his servants. He may task us with some rulership duties, but we will never be co-rulers."
@@arthouston7361 Ok, coruler may be a wrong choice of words. But the bible definitely says that some will reign with him. The question is; Is whom will they reign over? Looking forward to your answer.
Why bother with this specific time frame of one thousand years. Just because.... Why only those that lost their lives for the sake of Christ during the tribulation period - those that did not take the mark or worship the beast - Rev 20. God could fulfill all that without limiting it to a specific 1,000 year period. The rest of the dead did not live until after the 1,000 years.
@@robertbrown7470 The point of this time period is to show that, even with a benevolent God Who provides peace and prosperity, people will still choose to sin. So many skeptics say that if God provided a sign that He exists, they would believe and repent. This shows that even knowing God exists in the person of Jesus Christ, they will still resist Him and do evil. Revelation 20 shows us that it is not a small number of people who still choose to sin. The last enemy to be destroyed is death, and that is after the Great White Throne Judgment. You are also in error when you say only the Tribulation saints will be risen. Did you not read what Paul wrote to the Thessalonians? 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, *even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.* 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: *and the dead in Christ shall rise first:* 17 *Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them* in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Why does Revelation say "Blessed are those who die in the Lord from henceforth" right after talking about the mark, and just before describing the angel coming out from the Temple and calling out to the Son of Man (Jesus), "The time has come for thee to reap"? Read the parable of the vineyard workers. All of the workers are paid at the end of the day, but those who were called to work last were paid first. The Jews began the building of the Church on the Chief Cornerstone, Jesus Christ. The Gentiles built upon their work. Finally, the Church has a falling away (returning to religious laws for salvation, see: Babylonian Talmud "Seven laws of Noah" endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church) and then prophecy focuses on the Remnant of Israel who are preparing the Way of the Lord in the spirit of Elijah, completing the work of building the Church, which is the heavenly Jerusalem and Temple of God. This is why Revelation 11 references Zechariah 3-4 (The "Two Olive Trees", Joshua the High Priest given a crown, and Zerubbabel the Priest being told "his hands would begin and finish the work" of rebuilding Jerusalem and the Temple after the Babylonian captivity). The Jewish Remnant are also represented by the Churches of Smyrna and Philidelphia as the two candlesticks standing before the Lord of the earth. These two Churches, persecuted by those who say they are Jews, but to lie (Romans 2:28-29) and are a synagogue of Satan (John 8:44), just as prophecied in Isaiah 66:5-6. Read Zephaniah 3:12-15 along with Revelation 14:1-5 and the letters to the Churches of Smyrna and Philidelphia, you will see they are all describing the Remnant of Israel in the Last Days. The Jewish Remnant are called blessed because they will be ones preparing the Way of the Lord at the cost of their lives, just like John the Baptist. Every single person on the earth will hate them, rejoicing on the day the Antichrist kills them all (wages war against them, overcomes them and kills them, SEE: Daniel 7:21, Revelation 11:7). The Antichrist enforces the mark of the beast kingdom for 42 months, the same amount of time the "Two Witnesses" are fulfilling their ministry, finishing going through the towns of Israel, something the Apostles were not able to do themselves due to the Roman and Jewish persecution.) Romans 2:9-11 explicitly tells us the Jews receive honor and glory first, then the Gentiles. The first shall be last, and the last (the Jewish Remnant) shall be first. Back to the topic of the Millennial Kingdom. Isaiah 65:19-25 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: *for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.* ---Death still exists in the Millennial Kingdom because sin still exists, but the god of this age will be in hell and it will not have dominion over the world. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Revelation 20:7-15 7 *And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,* 8 *And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.* ---As I said earlier, it is not just a small number of people who reject Christ even as He reigns on the earth with righteousness. They will be in the millions, or even billions. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ---Included here are the rest of the dead who had not yet been raised up again. They will not be raised to "life" but to death. They will also be given new bodies, one fit for everlasting destruction where the worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
John 14:27..... Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. This is a remarkable claim. His peace is superior than any other peace. Either this is a narcissistic and arrogant statement or its the truth. The evidence in true believers show that it is undoubtedly true.
I dislike the term Palestinian covenant because it was the Romans who renamed the land when they expelled Israel from their promised land. The covenant was for the Israelite people and not some "Palestinian" so-called people...there was no "Palestine" when the Lord God made the covenant.
There have been people who say people do evil because of environment. I look forward to them being proven wrong by the end of the 1000 years. Indeed, every justification humans bring for defending their sins will be brought to nothing, so "they are all without excuse."
@@timwhite4432 They will be at the judgment. God is a just God, everyone will have the opportunity to present their case even if they end up having nothing to say.
@@onlythetruth88_ To show compassion and mercy is precisely why I look forward to suffering. Jesus suffered for me that I could know His salvation, why would I not want to join with Him in His sufferings? (Philippians 3:10-11). You cannot know mercy until you have need for it (Romans 11:32); and you cannot show mercy until it has been shown to you. Besides, the people I was talking about wished their suffering on themselves by having false expectations of reality. They will suffer whether I am merciful or not for as long as they reject the Lord's mercy. Have you ever blessed someone and had it rejected? We have all done that to the Lord at one time or another.
After 10,000 years of Humanity not having any faith in God, Christ will use a 1,000 years to teach us to believe him, which is to have faith in him, which is to Trust him. Christ is not Magic, he is reality. We commune with him through Faith. God does not need time, we do. Get to know Christ, you will love him. He knows exactly what we need.
This is how simple truth is. When Jesus returns at his second comming there will be 4 kinds of people. The righteous living, the righteous dead, the wicked living and the wicked dead. When Jesus comes the righteous dead and the righteous living will be taken to heaven and the wicked living who are alive when Jesus returns will die by the brightness of his comming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” nobody will be alive on the earth because all the righteous are in heaven and all the wicked will be dead. Jeremiah 25:33And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.” Only Satan and his angels will be in this destroy earth for 1000 years he will be bound by a chain of circumstances because he won’t have no one to tempt. The earth being in ruins and full of darkness with no light symbolizes the earth as the bottomless pitFormless and void as how the earth was in the beginning.
it's the sabbath day (7th day) 1 day to GOD is 1000years. around 6050 years ago since adam (6 day), we in the transition before "end of days" to purify the world and waiting 7th day with Christ.
People always say they commit sin because of the sinful environment and bad circumstances. However, at the end of the 1000 year reign, man still rebelled against God. So they cannot say blame it on sinful environment and bad circumstances because satan is not around to influence them. It is to prove to man that sin comes from within their hearts and not from external factors. So this settle the argument of nature (born sinner) or nurtured (born sinless but became a sinner due to external factors).
@@arcguardian It is the same as the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God is merely giving another choice to man and let them decide what they want. During the 1000 year rule of Christ, it is mark by peace. God wants to show man what it is like to be under him. Then at the end of 1000 year, satan is released so that man get a choice to decide who to follow. And some chose to follow satan and rebelled against God.
I feel like there's a purpose revealed in the culminating failure of mankind to accept his reign. God will have given man every possible way to follow him and remain faithful, from walking with us in perfection (genesis), to being with his people in the desert (exodus, numbers, etc), to allowing the tribes to rule themselves (Joshua, Judges), to having kings (Samuel, Kings, Chronicles), to having his laws written on our hearts (Jesus and the new testament), and finally having Jesus personally rule over us (1000 year reign). While the new covenant under Jesus has worked better, it's hard not to look at the world and see we've done a pretty bad job of it. At the end of this Earth no one will be able to look at God and say "well, if you had just...". There's no system that would lead to everyone coming to love God and serve him because man's problem is that we want to be our own god.
There IS NO EXCUSE for sin. You know within yourself if something is right or wrong. It is in our nature to sin, It has been born in us since the garden of edan. Jesus Christ thru His sacifice gave us all a way to overcome it by accepting Him as our substitute on that cross. He is my Lord and God an I profess His name and Glory. Jesus Christ is Lord amen.
John 10:16 "And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd."
Jesus Christ also made a promise to the church (Revelation 2:26-29) that we will rule with Jesus Christ. This promise will be fulfilled during the 1000 years of Millennial Kingdom when we become administrators of the Christ's Kingdom to govern the Tribulation Saints (those who became Christian after the rapture and during the 7 years tribulation) who survived the 7 years tribulation (in their mortal body) and begins to repopulate the earth. I also like a reason postulated by Dr. David Reagan from "Christ in Prophecy". The purpose of the 1000 years reign of Christ may also be a God's clear demonstration that *humanism* simply does not work...that we, the mankind, simply can not save ourselves no matter how good the surrounding/environment/culture is. We need God's mercy, and we are saved by putting our trust and faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).
@@jannaswanson271 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 "...Therefore, comfort one another with these words." I guess some Christians found it comforting knowing they will go through God's terrible judgement on the earth, and nasty persecution from the antichrist (or 3.5 years of hunger if you managed to escape the antichrist and his followers). God, whom I know in the Bible. 1) Noah and the great flood = God removes Enoch prior to the judgement (symbolizing the rapture before the judgement), and protects everyone inside the ark (symbolizing protection of chosen Jews during the judgement). 2) Sodom and Gomorrah = God removes Lot prior to the judgement. Conclusion = God removes righteous prior to the judgement. John, a Christian, taken to the heaven *prior to the judgement* and observe God's wrath on earth from there (Revelation 4:1-4). Sounds quite familiar to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 isn't it? No mention of Church after Revelation 3 (letters to the churches). After chapter 3, righteous are referred to as "saints". They are tribulation saints who missed the rapture, but became Christians during the tribulation. Remember, there will be 144000 Jewish evangelists (Revelation 7:4-8 and Revelation 14:1-5), 2 witnesses (Revelation 11:1-14), and the gospel angels (Revelation 14:6-8) evangelizing during the 7 years tribulation. Revelation 4:10-11. Who are those 24 elders with the crowns? They are present in the heaven before the judgement (the 7 years tribulation) begins. They have to be part of pre-trib raptured Christians (rotation of 24 New Testament Saints) who have received their crowns after the Bema Seat Judgement (reward based on our works), which was taken place after the rapture.
@@bluemarble2458 God certainly will protect His Elect during the Tribulation though would suggest that it would be easier to work on having faith for everything. Saying that baby Christians get to walk through the Tribulation without seasoned Saints to help them does not sound like God. There is no clear pre-trib rapture doctrine. All it is is taking certain scripture and assigning rapture meaning to them. In Matthew 24 Jesus says we will be collected after the Tribulation. I don't see where it says the 144,000 are evangelists- could you tell me where you read that?
@@jannaswanson271 I already provided you with the necessary references from the bible, including 144000 Jewish evangelists that you seem to have missed for some reason. And in Matthew 24, you are using description of *second coming of Jesus Christ* to argue pre-trib is not true. The rapture and second coming of Jesus Christ are two different events at two different times. Notice verse 30 saying "...all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the cloud of the sky with power and great glory"? The rapture will happen in the twinkling of an eye...meaning non-believers will not be able to see the actual event taking place (coming like a thief to them). The second coming on the other hand, everyone (including non-believers) will witness Jesus Christ coming from the sky with His army at the end of the 7 years tribulation.
@@bluemarble2458 Actually Revelation 7 nor 14 says that the 144,000 are evangelists. So Jesus says that He will come 1 time, then a 1/2 a time and then a second time? And "in the twinkling of an eye" is at the LAST trumpet. I Corinthians 15 :24-26 says "Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death." when death is defeated THEN we are resurrected.
Abraham had many children besides Isaac according to the Bible. Trace the throne of England back to its real beginning. Friends God never failed a promise. Some were conditional (and the conditions weren’t met) some were unconditional and you have to look deeper to find the fulfillment. God is so faithful, may you be blessed in your search for Him🙏❤️
I believe we are in the millennium currently. I do not at all believe it is speaking of a literal 1000 year reign but rather signifies a very long period of time. The Bible also says that God owns a 1000 cattle on a hill but we know he owns all the cattle. I am a Postmillennialist because I believe the Bible teaches victory, not defeat:)🙏❤️. God bless you brother’s and sister’s!!!🙏❤️.
You clearly have never read Joshua. All the promises made to Abraham and his descendants was fulfilled specifically noted. Not one promise was not fulfilled.
Can me and my wife live together and enjoy intimacy when Christ reign here?? I wish that God allows everyone to enjoy intimacy with their spouses and also everyone loves holy lives
@@gerrythorington7332 people dont understand the difference. yes!! it will be an new earth. with christ. so you still need to eat and enjoy your relationships. god will be in center of relationships. he surely love when an man and woman are in love togheter.
Abraham’s promise seed of righteousness is in Christ Jesus; Christ Jesus, The development of the physical seed was essential to the coming Christ, for he was in the line of Abraham. it was from Israel that Christ came “ according to the flesh” (Roman’s 9:4-5). There had to be a physical seed. If there was going to be God’s Christ. Israel particular physical seed of Abraham was the means to the Messianic ends of God’s promise.
The most important thing just before and during the millennium is repeated in all the prophets where Christ the Lord speaks: "So that the nations may recognize that I am the Lord". That means: -Israel will recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah. -The peoples of the earth will be ruled with a heavy hand, if need be. Rev 2:26: "And whoever overcomes and keeps my works to the end, I will give him authority over the peoples, 27and he shall rule them with a rod of iron They will be broken like clay vessels, 28 just as I received power from my Father; -The paganism that has reigned since time immemorial is being eradicated root and branch. -All weapons will be scrapped. -At the beginning of the millennium, Satan will be thrown into prison. - At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire🤠
So who will be alive on the earth in non-spiritual bodies during the 1000 year reign? It can"t be those who took the mark...so is it "left behind" believers that some how make it to the start of the 1000 year reign without being killed? If not...then who...who has the potential at the end of 1000 years to fall for satans lies yet again? Thx
That's a clever question. You have to remember that only 144,000 saints will rule, which is not many believers. Since Christ, perhaps only 100 per year. Those who made it. The other Christians will only be resurrected in the second resurrection at the end of the millennium. Those of the generation who remain alive in the end times and have not accepted the mark will certainly live in the millennium. It is also said again and again in the prophets that Christ will chastise the nations so that they will recognize that he is Lord. So in the wars of the end times there are still a lot of people alive who repent, especially the Jews.
Stop, there is no Palestinian covenant, Abraham promise seed of righteousnessis is in Christ Jesus, The development of the physical seed was essential to the coming Christ, for he was in the line of Abraham. it was from Jacob/Israel (the lineage) that Christ came “ according to the flesh” (Roman’s 9:4-5). There had to be a physical seed. If there was going to be God/ Christ. Israel particular physical seed of Abraham was the means to the Messianic ends of God’s promise.
So christ should have been gone around the year 1035 or so? Quick answer to thumbnail question..to accrue as much wealth and political power to the church as possible.
Many are being decieved by expecting that will come it has already begun 1000 Year perfection when and where are we now? since Jesus Christ arose from the Dead it jas already regenerated all around The Globe
Uhh, NO, This is not even remotely the 1000 year reign which is described in massive detail in both the OT and the NT. The vast majority of the entire world is in rebellion against Jesus and the Father. Scripture tells us there will be no wars, no nation attacking other nation and no one in rebellion for 1000 years. Not even a spiritual war.
If someone died tonite and didn’t know Christ and wind up in hell Will they in the millennial kingdom have a second time to choose Christ ways or will they just stay in hell?
Jesus says that all those in the tombs will be resurrected. John 5:28,29 Acts 24:15 also says that the righteous and unrighteous will be resurrected. They will be resurrected back to the earth and they will be taught by Jesus and his 144,000 associate Kings and Priests and they will be given not a second chance, but a real first chance at learning the truth about God and Jesus and the kingdom. The devil has blinded the minds of people and billions of people do not know the truth about God. But during the millennial reign of Christ, the devil will be put in an abyss, so as not to mislead anyone anymore. And there the pure worship of Jehovah will be taught. God will not judge you based on how you lived your life in this satanic world. But the judgement comes at the end of the millennial, The devil will be released and he will be allowed to tempt you. But after 1000 years of being taught by Jesus and growing to perfection, the majority of mankind will resist the devil. But some will follow him. And then the devil and all those who followed him will be destroyed in the second Death. And then mankind will live forever in peace on earth. Just as God purposed when he put man on the earth. And then God's Will for the earth will be done.
Not a second chance but a FIRST CHANCE to hear the gospel. BILLIONS never ever heard the name of Jesus. Were they also on the mind of Jesus when He hung on the cross? For sure!
No, I don’t think everyone is on the same page. There is “NO” mention stating Christ will reign on earth for the 1000 reign. In fact one earth is one year in heaven. So other words 1000 days is 1000 years! Only after the completion of the 1000 year reign Christ will break the final 7th seal! And silence will occur for half an hour. This will be the last event before the second death!
"There is “NO” mention stating Christ will reign on earth for the 1000 reign. " Rev 20:4 ".. And they (Saints) lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years."
You didn't do your homework (read Rev chap 20) before chiming in here. Rev 20:6 This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. *Over such the second death* has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, *and shall reign with Him a thousand years*
right after the thousand year reign when the earth is made new and the curse is lifted the Bible talks about how the heavens and the earth will burn with a fervent fire. My question is when this happens where will the saved be? Will we be in heaven while the earth is being remade to remove the curse? The reason I am wondering this is does that make the ark a picture of heaven (I know most of the time its considered a picture of Jesus) since Man rode out the first destruction of the earth with water in the ark will man ride out the second destruction of fire in heaven? Thanks for any info just thought it kind of was a parallel and was wondering if I was seeing it right or not.
God intends on making a New Heaven and a New Earth (New Jerusalem) for all of His angels and saints, including those who were ruled over during the 1,000 Millennium. I'd imagine that He wouldn't be unprepared for this transition and that we'd all just simply go there at the end of the 1,000 Millennium right before the old Earth and old Heaven is scrubbed clean.
I am a convert from pre to Amilliniumism. For me, the main sticking points are that death, corruotion, sin and eventually rebellion continue after Jesus' return. Secondly, taking number literally in Revelation is unwise. The points made in this video have not convinced me otherwise. Good thing our salvaytion doesn't depend on our millenial view.
There's a practical and plausible explanation on the moon-map model of the flat earth. After 1,000 years Israel's climate could be vastly different while another portion of the realm warms up.
It’s funny how the Dark Ages were a thousand years and were told it was horrible and we don’t know much about it even though we have almost every dot of history before and after those 1000 years. Then there’s the renaissance period which literally translates to rebirth.
1000 year reign STARTED upon Pentecost (ushering in of the Kingdom) and FINISHES with the Tribulation and then the Day of the Lord (final judgement) Very simple-read Rev 20 carefully.
I’m sorry I don’t agree and I don’t see that being said. We are not in the thousand years yet! The thousand years is a peaceful time under Christ Full rule and reigning as King. And Satan would be in the abyss, so not to mislead the nations, that’s not true yet. Rev 20:3 Has not happened yet! Verse 3 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. We are not in the 1,000 yet. Satan is still roaming the earth misleading the nations. Btw it’s been 2000 years since Pentecost.
@@stevecarlson2242 I was indicating that the 1,000 reign of Christ on earth has not started yet. He will throw Satan into the abyss when HE returns. We will then be in his 1,000 reign as indicated in Revelation without Satans influence. Again Pentecost was in 33AD add that to since Christ left your 2,000 + years. The 1,000 years Under Christ absolute rule doesn’t begin till his return. Maybe this will help…. In Revelation 19:16 Jesus is given the full title “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 17:14 switches it: “Lord of lords and King of kings”). The title indicates someone who has the power to exercise absolute dominion over all His realm. In the case of the Lord Jesus, the realm is all of creation. In John’s vision, Jesus is returning to judge the world and establish His earthly kingdom, as He predicted in Mark 13:26. Yes he’s in power now, but he’s earth reign has yet to start. Satan is still empowered and controls the earth. Praying for his return soon🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@stevecarlson2242 I do agree that Christ is in power and authority etc. what I’m saying is we are NOT in the 1000 year period where Satin is in the abyss. He has not been locked up to mislead the nations as described in Rev 20:3 Revelation 20:3, ESV: and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. This has not happened yet.
The 1000 years - Millennium is between HIS first coming & HIS second coming. Perfect period of Time only God knows. The term 1000 is symbolic since the book of Revelation is signified with symbols & pictures !
1000 years is 1000 years...nothing says its symbolic, does Jesus rule now? Then He is not doing a good job i would say. Kingdom now theology is wrong, it replaces Israel with the church, it has an antisemitic spirit.

The vast majority of the entire world is in rebellion against Jesus and the Father. Scripture tells us there will be no wars, no nation attacking other nation and no one in rebellion for 1000 years. Not even a spiritual war. The church fathers of the first 2 centuries (those taught by the disciples) universally taught the Millennium as LITERAL and FUTURE, not symbolic.
I have no college degrees and I've never attended college classes so, if you chose to respond to my question, please take that into account. I don't subscribe to the doctrine that God has one plan of salvation for Hebrews and another plan for everyone else. I don't try to fit almost all Bible prophecies into a future (futurist?) time frame. Many Christians, however, have adopted the theology of Darby and Scofield (and seem to be blissfully unaware that any serious Bible students ever believed anything else). I have often wondered (and was wondering again today) how that theology answers the question of a) whether there is a difference between the millennial reign and the reign of Christians on Earth with Jesus after the millennium and b) if so, what that difference is / those differences are?
Unfortunately, the information presented in this video is not correct, most people do not understand that God rejected Israel in the first century because they did not accept the Messiah. That is why He allowed the Romans to destroy Jerusalem, the Temple, the priesthood and all their records in 70 CE. Jesus pronounced that judgment on two occasions; (Matthew 21:43) This is why I say to you, THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOU AND BE GIVEN TO A NATION PRODUCING ITS FRUITS. (Matthew 23:37, 38) “ JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, THE KILLER OF THE PROPHETS AND STONER OF THOSE SENT TO HER-HOW OFTEN I WANTED TO GATHER HER CHILDREN together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! BUT YOU DID NOT WANT IT. LOOK! YOUR HOUSE IS ABANDONED TO YOU. The Jews are no special people since then and any references to Israel in Revelation is referring to the "nation" that replaced it, the "Israel of God"(Gal. 6:16) It is a spiritual nation, not a fleshly one.
@@djparsons7363 You seem quite sure that you are “correct” about this but I wonder whether you would be willing to consider another perspective - one that is even less popular right now (at least in the United States) than the way you are explaining your understanding of this topic. That is to consider the faith of Jesus to be the true CONTINUATION of the faith of Adam, Noah, Abraham and the Hebrew prophets of antiquity. Two thousand years ago, as is true today, Judaism was based more on traditions and on traditional (rabbicanal) interpretations of the Hebrew Bible than on divine revelation as described in the Hebrew Bible. I don’t think of all Hebrews as rejecting the gospel of Jesus (the common people heard him gladly - Mark 12:37). The majority of the members of the Sanhedrin, however, wanted and expected a political messiah. When they realized Jesus didn’t even want to be the kind of messiah they wanted, they rejected him and eventually demanded that Pilate crucify him. Many of the Hebrews probably wished they could do something to prevent the crucifixion of Jesus (even Pilate’s wife tried) but many probably assumed, if they tried too hard to stop his crucifixion, they would be crucified with him - or shortly afterward. I think John 20:19 is a reference to the very real fear, two days after his crucifixion (three days by inclusive reckoning) that the disciples might yet be killed for the same reason Jesus had been. The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) decided to not require non-Hebrews to be circumcised as a condition of being considered followers of Jesus. Within a few hundred years, that decision had been twisted into the doctrine that circumcision was a denial of the faith. The cry, “His blood be on us and on our children” was twisted into the doctrine that all Hebrews - even those that weren’t yet born when Jesus was crucified - were guilty of deicide (killing God). The advice of the apostle, Paul to keep Passover (I Corinthians 5:8) was ignored in favor of declaring anyone heretical who observed any of the annual feast days or fast days the Lord had given his people. If you can believe what you described in your comment while NOT fomenting hatred of Hebrews, far be it from me to say you are “wrong”. On the other hand, if you have anywhere nearly the sense of affinity for the Hebrew people that I do, you might wish to consider that you can think (and speak) of the faith of Jesus as the true continuation of the faith of Abraham while, at the same time, rejecting the dispensationalist/futurist eschatology that is popular among conservative Christians in the United States right now.
@@rogermetzger7335 I have no hatred of Jews, individual Jews were still welcomed into the Christian congregation in the first century, but the NATION was no longer in a covenant relationship with God, Jesus' death abolished the Law Covenant. Jesus ministry was to gather Jews to form his Kingdom Government, it was intended for all 144,000 to be natural Israelites but there were not enough faithful Jews so Gentiles were accepted. Those 144,000 are Jews and people of all nations. (Rev. 5:9,10) They are the only ones in the "New Covenant" with Jesus. What people don't understand is the many references to Israel or Jerusalem in Revelation is not referring to the NATION of Israel, it refers to a Spiritual nation that replaced Israel, "New Jerusalem", the "Israel of God", the 144,000. The 12 tribes listed at Rev. 7 are not natural Jews, compare them with the original 12 at Numbers 1 and you will find they are different for the reasons stated.
@@djparsons7363 Everything in this video is 100% correct. It is absolutely accurate according to the Bible. It was clear, concise, and easy to understand. This is a fantastic channel.
@@1lebero No it isn't, the Kingdom will NOT rule over Israel. Armageddon is God's war against ALL human governments, they will all be destroyed INCLUDING the nation of Israel. What happened in 70 CE is an example of how God feels about Israel! The author never mentioned what the real purpose of the Millennium is; to resurrect billions who have died and to bring the earth and all humans to a perfect condition that Adam and Eve first enjoyed. THAT is reality and the nation of fleshly Israel won't exist. Believe all the other foolishness that you think is relevant but the truth will be revealed.
How the old covenant was fulfilled in the new if we look hard we can see fulfilments in the modern age. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. wilderness. Isaiah 29:17 We see deserts greening like in China.
The Bible never says millennial reign of Christ. Not mentioned ever. Jesus never talks about it even though he's asked, " ...What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" Revelation 20 says THEY live and reign with him a thousand years. Jesus reigns forever. The saved reign with him right now. When Jesus comes back, it's the end of the world. That's when Satan is loosed at the end of the thousand years. Why is he loosed? To gather the unsaved into one place so God can destroy them, while the saved are in the air. Then we live with him forever.
@tl4633 Revelation 20 2:3 kjv. The whole chapter really. Also scriptures in Isaiah, Zachariah mention it too. The purpose of it is for Israel. This is when Israel reigns and rule along with Christ. Not those imposters over in the land currently. The REAL bloodline Israelites don't return to Israel until the Millennial reign. That's when there will be peace. The Balfour Declaration in 1948 was for a fake people. Luke 21 tells us Jeruselem will be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. The times of the Gentiles have not ended yet. So anyone who's in that land now, the Bible is calling them Gentiles. Which automanticaly should tell you those ain't the real "Jews".
Take a look at Revelation chapter 20. The term 'thousand years' is mentioned not once but SIX times. It is also mentioned in the book of Ezekiel and Isaiah. There will be a thousand year reign of Christ and He will sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem. Will you be there? Biblical Prophecy can be tricky but WOW is it exciting what our Heavenly Father has in store for his children!
Satan is released for a short time. People who lived through the Millennium will have a choice. They had all that time... In a beautiful 1,000 years, yet many will not choose the Lord's side. There will be a Judgement. Then the eternal order. That's where we see the New Jerusalem/ Holy Jerusalem coming down. Read Revelation chapters 19 and on
Who, what, when, where, why, and how are the six primary questions. In the rapture passage (I Thessalonians 4:13-5:11) we are not told when, only it will be by surprise. One reason Paul may not have dealt more with the when is because it is more involved than he was taking time for in that letter. It may have been more obvious to the people of that day there will be multiple whens. Where Paul says the living will not precede those who have fallen asleep has implications for when Enoch and Elijah were translated. We also know sleeping believers before Jesus died were raised (see Matthew 27:52-53). That Jesus would raise the sleeping when He returns to this earth to rule over it makes a lot of sense, and obviously there will be another resurrection of believers just before the White Throne. Will there be other resurrections? Maybe, maybe not.
The remaining future resurrection will happen 3 times. Resurrection 1) (1 Thessalonians 4) The rapture (before the 7 years tribulation). The genuine Christians who have died will be resurrected with the glorified body. The genuine Christians who are alive will also received the glorified body (they are categorized as the New Testament Saints). Then we will all meet Jesus Christ in the air and removed from the earth prior to God's judgement (arise of the antichrist and 7 years tribulation) . Resurrection 2) (Isaiah 26:19 and Revelation 20:4-6) This will happen after the 7 years tribulation. In this time, all the Old Testament Saints, and the Tribulation Saints (People who missed the rapture, but became Christian martyrs during the 7 years tribulation) will be resurrected. Jesus Christ, New Testament Saints (who were raptured), Old Testament Saints, and the Tribulation Saints will govern the 1000 years of Millennial Kingdom. Who are we going to govern? We will govern the Tribulation Saints who survived the 7 years tribulation in their mortal body. They will repopulate the earth during the 1000 years Millennial Kingdom. Resurrection 3) (Revelation 20:11-15) Resurrection of the damned. This will happen at the end of 1000 years Millennial Kingdom. Every individuals (throughout the entire human history), who don't have their names written in the Book of Life (no one who are resurrected at this time has their name in the Book of Life), will be resurrected and cast into the lake of fire (pay for their own sins there as they rejected God's grace). If you have any other questions, "gotquestions" and "Christ in Prophecy" RU-vid channels and websites cover these bible prophecy topics in more detail. God bless you.
Demons believe but they tremble because they know they are condemned already (salvation is not for demons). In Christ there is no condemnation for the man who believes.

Rapture... Then some sort of gap (maybe a day, a year, we're not sure) The covenant that's made greater... Is what starts the 7 years. See Daniel chapter 9. There's very specific timing on all this stuff. When the Antichrist demands worship folks will be able to count the days until the end of the 2nd 3.5 years. 2nd coming of Christ at end of the 7 years. (Antichrist and False Prophet thrown into the Lake of Fire) (There's also a number of days after the 7 years... I think it's 75 days) Satan is thrown in the pit to be held there for 1,000 years during the Millennial Kingdom. See Zechariah 14: 16 -20 we will be participating in the Feast Of Tabernacles during the Millennium. (See also Leviticus chapter 23) Then Satan is released for a little while... Then the Lord wipes them out and throws Satan in the Lake Of Fire (where the Antichrist and False Prophet already are) Great White Throne Judgement External Order AKA Eternity.

First he is real, second missing god and wanting to come home and asking for forgiveness then being forgiven is what the Bible teaches so we can trust it, third that means Jesus is the Messiah!!

Actually the righteous that Christ has claimed will be with Him in the place we know as Heaven, judging the wicked. The wicked, slain and scattered about the Earth by the brightness of Christ's coming for His people, are dead at this time. And Satan and possibly his angels will be confined to Earth---which will be nearly as desolate as it was before God and His Word (Jesus) created it. See Revelation 20.
The 1000 year reign happened when Jesus ascended and took his kingdom. He reigned from there already. John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Hebrews 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. Revelation 20: 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (During the time of the 1000 year Reign) 3 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 Reign should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Satan is here Now! John 12:31 “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” Ephesians 2:2 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” Revelation 20: 4 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 Reign. (This is referring to the early Martyrs) Under the rule of Antiochus IV In the time between the return of Jewish exiles and the rise of the Roman emperors, the land of Judea was caught between two ruling powers: the Seleucid Kingdom of Syria in the north and Ptolemaic Egypt in the south. These kingdoms, both successors of Alexander the Great’s broken empire, warred with each other for more than a century while the Jewish nation sat at the crossroads. (An account of these relations, seen through the lens of prophetic visions, can be found in Daniel 11.) Throughout most of this period, Judea remained in the periphery and was left alone. However, when Antiochus IV came to power c. 170 B.C.E., the Jewish people did not readily fit into the vision he had for his new empire. Embracing a form of imperial colonialism, Antiochus sought to bring about a sense of cultural uniformity in the hope of creating more socioeconomic stability. This included embracing the Hellenistic way of life and the worship of the Greek pantheon, especially Zeus. By taking the epitaph Epiphanes (“God Manifest”), Antiochus even claimed to be Zeus incarnate. Many of the pagan nations embraced and welcomed these policies, but in the land of Judea they caused a cultural civil war, notably among members of the high priestly families. In the midst of this turmoil, according to the books of Maccabees and the Jewish historian Josephus, Antiochus plundered the Jerusalem Temple and carried off the sacred vessels-to help finance his campaigns. Following stories of intrigue, bribery, and military coups among the Jewish ruling class that could rival any on television these days, Antiochus arrived in Jerusalem to find the people in an open state of revolt against him and each other. The chaos he found in Judea immediately followed a humiliating defeat in Egypt, and the ruler took out his frustrations on the Jewish people. Antiochus took control of the situation by slaying many innocents and brutally enforcing his cultural and religious policies on the population. A time of great tribulation occurred as traditional practices such as circumcision were outlawed, sacred scriptures were burned, and violators were brutally punished even unto death. Having already laid siege to the Temple Mount and destroying many of its fortifications, Antiochus built a new fortress known as the Acra (literally, “the Citadel”) to consolidate his power over Jerusalem and strengthen his political agents. As a culmination, he proceeded to profane the Temple of Yahweh by erecting idols within it and even going so far as to sacrifice pigs upon the altar, presumably to Zeus. By these actions, Antiochus Epiphanes effectively stepped into the role of the “Little Horn” of Daniel’s visions. Revelation 20: 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years Reign was finished. "THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION". First harvest. BEFORE OUR TIME. 6 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: 7 And when the thousand years (Millennial Reign) are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (Satan is here NOW working with the Elite's) 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20: 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20: 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Second harvest) 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH. Revelation 21: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 22: 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED" we will celebrate our marriage of the lamb. .
You are not going to believe the answer,It's God's reward for faithfully dying on the cross.Jesus received from His Father Power over all the earth,as King of kings Lord of lords.Itctells you that in Revelations,and Jesus spoke on the subject .Where it says God looks all over for one worthy to open the seals,read on and you'll see He was blessed above all others that exist,and was the only one worthy to receive wisdom,power and glory.
God's day is a thousand years. Even God needs to rest occasionally. God let's the kid watch over the place that day. His next day will be very busy weighing the hearts of man and judging them this or that. Would love to make Him a cup of coffee... it's going to be a long day.
Yes, Messiah does all that, but His purpose is to prepare the world for the New Jerusalem where our Father will live on Earth with His family, us. The 144,000 glorified at the 2nd coming of Messiah, co-rule and co-inherit His Kingdom as Kings and Priests. That is what it says, not an opinion as non-bible readers will claim.
Jesus works in number for 6000 years now and the thousand years will show completeness. I believe it will make it the 7000 year just like the seven days of the week.😊
The reason? The Earth progresses in JUDGEMENT CYCLES. Each CYCLE is 1000 years in Heaven but 10,000 years on Earth. The next CYCLE belongs to JESUS. Enoch (PROPHET)
I AM READY....🎉 Protestants REPENT for protesting the way Jesus died to give us! Catholics REPENT for being self-righteous and not seeking his kingdom and righteousness!!!
After the Messianic King destroys God’s enemies, he will throw Satan and his demons into an abyss for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-3) With that evil influence out of the way, the Kingdom will move ahead to apply the benefits of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice and to eradicate the effects of Adamic sin. The King will resurrect millions who are sleeping in the grave and will organize an extensive educational program to teach them about Jehovah God. (Revelation 20:12,13) The entire earth will reflect the paradise conditions of the garden of Eden. All faithful humans will be raised to perfection. And by the end of Christ’s Thousand Year Reign, the Messianic Kingdom will have achieved its purpose. Then Jesus will hand the Kingdom over to his Father. (1Corinthians 15:24-28)
The prevailing but erroneous doctrine of a thousand-year reign of Christ on earth comes by without it ever being searched out in the whole Bible. In Ps.50:10 "thousand" stands for the multitude... not intended to mean precisely a thousand. In De.7:9, “thousand” does not mean precisely one thousand, as Christendom so preaches, on and on when an integer before the thousand is missing. As in Rev.20, “a thousand” simply refers to an indefinite span of time being preceded by the indefinite article “a” which rightly renders “a thousand” as an unspecified, imprecise span of time. Jesus Christ, God Almighty, has never ceased to reign over this world and so to say He will come back to earth to reign is a spurious claim. In fact, when He does return, it's the Last Day, 2Tim.4:1; 2Thes.1:7-10; Mal.3:2,3. The resurrection and judgment day are both on the Last Day, Jn.11:24; Jn.12:48 compare 2 Tim.4:1.
AMEN! The Dispensational understanding of revelation 20 has really done a number on our Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Also, the 1000 years are described as the Saints that were brought back to life reigning with Christ! It does not say Christ starts an earthly reign at that time. He is reigning NOW and forever! The last enemy to be placed under his foot is Death. Then the end will come.
@@herrera3499 Yes. Other problems arising from not understanding what "a thousand" means ( see Ps.50:10, for example ) supposes that Christ coming again in Person requires a suitable residence for the King of kings... hence, a Third physical Temple in Jerusalem. To have any meaning to the Jews, a Third Temple must be built on the Temple Mount, but the Islamic's own it. They promised all out war against Israel should Israel take it from them. Also, can we expect all the multimillionaires of the TV Evangelist community stop their money grabbing, give up their multimillion dollar multiple homes, their Learjet's and yachts and such, give it all to the poor, because they’ve suddenly became humble? I think not.
In 4 different places it reads 1000years. Then you tell us it doesn't mean what it says. I hope others can realize you just took away from scripture. You are wrong. I say to all, read it for yourselves and don't let anyone tell you it doesn't mean what it says.
I am the prophet Elisha. 2 Peter says 1 day to the Lord = 1000 years to us. So for 2000 years Jesus was dead and on the 3rd 1000 years Jesus returned from the dead. Jesus died around 30-33 AD so Jesus will return around 2030-2033 AD. This means we are about to enter the Great Tribulation VERY soon and God will destroy the earth very soon as well. Everyone better get ready for what is about to happen.
All wrong. There is no such thing as a thousand year reign of Christ in Person on this sin cursed earth. The *self same day* Christ returns in the clouds is the Rapture and it is Judgment Day for this world, Mt.24:29-31. See also 2Tim.4:1; 2Thes.1:7-10... it is Judgment Day on Christs return. People who simply do not study the Bible concerning how "thousand" is used of God are deluded by such faulty exegesis as this thousand year reign scheme... also, it's the same as saying Christ is not reigning since the beginning of time.
It serves no purpose, because it’s not true to scripture. Jesus is going to come back once. Hebrews 9:27, then the judgment. The elements of earth are going to burn up with fervent heat 2 Peter 3:10. Revelation 1:9, John was already in the Kingdom, so was Paul Colossians 1:13 Revelation is written with a time frame in mind… and time is placed in the very beginning and ending of the book 1:1 “must shortly take place…” 1:3 “for the time is near…” 22:6 “things which must shortly be done” 22:10 “for the time is near” Revelation is figurative… 1:1 “sent and signified…” The audience is the 7 churches in Asia, not us (Rev. 1:4, 11)
You dont understand the Bible when Jesus Christ our Lord return The Children of God receive glorified bodies it will be all spiritual then. Jesus Christ our Lord reigns now if we do not receive the new spiritual birth we wont enter Gods Kingdom or the new Jerusalem.Amen.
As I understand it, those who are raptured receive a new body, but the saints who make it to the end of the tribulation go into the new millennium with their original bodies.
OK, so why have a thousand years? Jesus returned and is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There must be another serious purpose about the Millenium which is not stated in the Bible.
