Most know of this time frame as the MILLENNIUM AGE. Yet most do not know that MILLI is Greek for one thousand, nor what happens during, and to whom this happens to, agree?
So let's begin with one of Christ most important promise, and the most dramatic, as He was to Ascend just moments latter, in the clouds.
John 14:1-3. " Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
1 Thessalonians 5:11. "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."
Acts 1:9-11. "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven".
NOTE: Perhaps you have heard this old joke, The Atheist body in his gasket, "A body all dressed up with no place to go?" You see those in Christ, have a mansion awaiting for them, as well as all those in Jesus and Jesus Himself, 4 ever, post 2 ND Advent!
PASQELL' S WAGER: This French mathematician, whose work created the Tables of Probability on which all insurance rates are based. His wager went like this...
Either God exists or He does not, that's a 50 % bet, either way.
So to cast a bet on God, costs us nothing
So, what's the Prize? Life ever after
So, what's the cost of our ignoring Him? Death ever after
That's the nuts and bolts of his equation, God either is or is NOT, but with the changes HE created within me, and all that He has done for me and my house, HE IS, and HE IS TRUE, AND TRUTH, all wrapped up in LOVE. A Love that is beyond Human understanding!
Note: One of Satan's most successful deceptions, being at death we don't really die, we go right to heaven; from...
Genesis 3:4. "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"
Note: Sadly many have bought into this, Satan' s lie totally, and disbelieve God's Ye shall surely die.. Gen.2:17, so much so that many Pastors and Priests teach this Satan lie as truth! [see blog "Where are the Dead?']
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. "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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words"
Note Both the righteous living and the dead shall meet Jesus in air. {His feet shall in no way touch earth's surface at this time! Satan as the Angel of Light, shall walk on earth, being visible to all. But turn away, unless you want to join him in the fire, the Lake of Fire. [2 Thes.2:1-11. Satan' s first on earth]
John 5:28-29. "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
Note: There shall be TWO (2) Resurrections, the first unto the resurrection of life, the second, 2nd, unto the resurrection of damnation, these shall join Satan in the Lake of Fire, to be consumed and reduced to ashes quickly.
2 Thessalonians 1:10. "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."
Note: At that time, the Just shall join with Christ in the air, but the unjust shall be destroyed by the brightness of His Coming Glory! Sin nor sinners can NOT exist within His Glory and Presence.
Revelation 19:11-12. "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself."
Note: As The Conquering KING of Kings leading the armies of heaven, Jesus will redeem His own. The wicked or unrighteous will be destroyed by the brightness of His Glory.
Revelation 20:1-2. "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,"
Note: Bound, not by iron chains, but by circumstance, he has none, to deceive, while here on this earth, with no sun nor moon, no light, just total darkness, and the dead unjust, unburied, as neither Satan nor his fallen angels will bother to bury them, this will be for a 1,000 years. Yet it will not change Satan' s heart.
Luke 17:37. "And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."
Note: The why for Vs 37 can be found in Vss 33-36 below.
Luke 17:33-36. "Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left"
2 Peter 2:4. "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;"
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. "
Genesis 1:2. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Ecclesiastes 1:9. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun"
Note: bottomless pit, in the oldest, most original manuscripts the word here is the Grk, Abusos, [our abyss] but please know the Hebrew equivalent is without form and void as to-huw va bohuh.Many teach, that the next passage is another view of the Noah 's Flood but there were then 8 human survivors right?
Jeremiah 4:23-27. "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."
Note: For all who doubt, that the unjust will not die, at the 2ND Advent, or that Satan and his Angels will bury them, read this......
Jeremiah 25:33. "And 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"
Note: I hope and pray that each of you, will take this as serious as a heart attack!. Unless you believe Satan's story perpetuated by men, that life began all by and of itself, and that we are but mere accidents, and the Aunts and Uncles of Apes! {By the way do YOU KNOW that we share some 96% of DNA with a common slug? Or 75% of Celery? Can you not see that DNA are the Creator' s "Building Blocks:, found all all life forms?]
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 worshiped 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"
Note: Please read Daniel 3 about an image the King had made, [perhaps in his mind, he was showing the world who was boss, he was and not God?] of himself out of gold, at 60 cubit x 6 cubits is size. (18 inches in a cubit)! Plus the Mark of the Beast, meaning whom each of us serves, either, God or man! That is plainly visible as to which day one goes to Corporate Worship, God's Day or Men' s day!
1 Corinthians 6:2. "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
Note: At this time, ALL in Christ, shall be perfected off mind and heart, to judge and to learn that God' s Judgements where, righteous and correct, plus we shall learn the why our loved so and so, is not with us!
Revelation 20:5."But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished......."
Then after the 1,000 years we have......
Revelation 20:7." And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"
Note: Satan has once more people whom he can deceive, thus released from his circumstantial prison to lead the resurrected wicked for a final attack, {Perhaps Satan will attempt to reach and eat from the Tree of life?}
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."
Note: Many ask, what about the eternal fire, the wicked are in and their smoke rises for ever and ever? Is this not eternal punishments?
Revelation 20:10. "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."
Note: How long will a human body, still be alive and functioning, in a fire set to reduce them to ashes? SULFUR, brimstone or burning stone, boils at 444.6 C and melts at 118.7 C Biblical use as in Sodom, whose fires were to burn forever, are they still burning today? No, it means that nothing will put out the fire until the job is done completely!
Let's face it, people, there shall be just ones, in Heaven whose loved ones are unjust, thus perished, now if they are being tormented forever, and their loved know this, how can this possibly be still heavenly?
Revelation 21:1-3. "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. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 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."
Note: This is the Very First time human eyes will see God' s Creative powers at work, as He reproduces the Garden of Eden, all across the whole earth! YES, THIS EARTH! By the way, this City size is just about the same size as the State of Oregon, Rev.21:16 or about 375 miles on each sided, and as high as it's wide!
Isaiah 65:22. "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."
Note: Surprised that life in Heaven is shown in the O.T.? Or that we will NOT be as fat little beings strumming a harp, and sitting on clouds? Remember with 24 hrs of daylight, and our Glorious Bodies, that needs no sleep, nor rest, and our minds, which science says we use but 8-12 % of it, will now be of 100% of use! To learn, all there is for us to learn, to travel through out the Universe!
JESUS CHRIST SAID: John 14:1-3."Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
