SUB-TITLE: :When and where will Christ's Just, spend this 1,000 years?
Mankind has, for thousands of years dreamed of flying like the birds. On December 17, in 1903, man achieved the first powered flight in history. Since then we have advanced in flight technology, to where now thousands of people fly each day, and all around the world. But only in an airplane.
This is NOT flying as a bird, now is it? There are many who jump from high cliffs and mountain faces, in a "sport" of "Wing-suit Diving". This like sky diving, is NOT flying, but rather gliding, but the wing-suits offer more direction control, gliding about three to four feet forwards for every foot of lost elevation. Thus each still requires a parachute to land. . .safely! They can turn left or right, they can speed up by "flying" straight down, but they can NOT fly UP!
Happily, though, all those truly in Jesus Christ, will at HIS SECOND ADVENT, His return, under Heaven's power, all the just shall FLY UP to meet Him in the clouds! So who is willing to fly?
1. What marks the beginning of the 1000 years?
Revelation 20:6. "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."
Note: As there is obviously a first resurrection, might there also be a SECOND?
2. When will the first resurrection take place?
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: Jesus tells us there shall be two, resurrections: one, the First, for the saved, and one, the second, for the lost. The first one shall be when Christ returns, but shall not touch this earth, thus we shall meet Him in the air/clouds. at His Second Coming.
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: Ask not of the how, we are not told, however as each one of us have a Guardian Angel, will they fly us up to Jesus???
3. Where does Jesus take His saints to spend this 1,000 years.
1 Thessalonians 4:17. "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."
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."
Note: The Holy Bible tells us that we are CAUGHT UP, and taken to the Father's house. Jesus has gone to heaven to prepare a place op His own. He promised to come again and gather up His own, so that they can be with Him there, for the 1,000 years. The word Millennium, is NOT in the Bible, but the word Mill mi the Greek of the New Testament, means 1,000 and the Greek word annum means years. thus millennium.
4. What will happen to the wicked dead during this 1,000 years?
Revelation 20:5. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
Note: All the wicked, those who have NOT lived up to the truth they have received, and all those who have rejected the Father and Christ, shall die at His return, and all those wicked in the graves, shall remain during the 1,000 years.
5. What happens to the wicked living during the 1,000 years?
2 Thessalonians 2:8. "And 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:"
Note: John, you say that's harsh? YES, but so is Eternal death right? All the lost, each has made the choice, to life without Christ or the Father, agree? Or they have made the free-will choice, to obey men rather than God, right? But please know as the Father and the Son, both have the POWER OF LIFE, none shall live, after THEY withdraw their life-force-powers, from any person! You see the Father' s love is so great, He is willing to give each what they want, yet they know not that life without GOD' s WILL is not possible! Thus they simply die at His Coming, where they fall. Not to life again for 1,000 years, when GOD's JUDGMENT shall be rendered in the Lake of Fire's one time use! [Please read Matthew 13:19 and the Tares- the unjust, unbelieving ones.]
6. What happens to Satan at the beginning of the 1,000 years?
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: Satan is bound at the beginning of the 1,000 years.
EVENTS THAT MARK THE BEGINNING OF THE 1,000 YEARS.
1. Jesus' 2nd coming 4. The wicked dead stay dead.
2. Righteous living taken to heaven 5. The wicked living are slain.
3. Righteous dead raised and taken 6. Satan bound, by circumstances [none to deceive]
7. What is the "Great Chin", that binds Satan?
Revelation 20:3. "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."
Note: He has none to deceive, and his only company, are the dead un-buried, and his fallen angels, and the ruins of earth's surface after the fires and the earthquakes destroyed and leveled all human structures. There shall be no light, just the cold and darkness of deep space!
What is the Bottomless Pit. ?"
This word in the Greek is "Abussos" or abyss in English. But a pit with no bottom means nothing but a hole right through earth, right? Rather in the Greek it conveys best our words, "Nothingness, void or Emptiness" As earth was in Genesis 1:2.
Isaiah 24:1. "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof." Jeremiah 4:23-25 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.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.2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;[ un-expected by most] in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."Luke 8:30-31 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
[DEEP here is Abossos]
8. What will the saints be doing during the 1,000 years?
Revelation 20:4. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: ...."
QUESTION: will this come before or after our Judgment?
9. When does God judge whether a man is saved or lost?
Hebrews 9:27-28. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
Revelation 22:12. "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
Note: When we die, we are then judged, and so noted in the Records of Heaven. Therefore in the grave repentance and the asking for forgiveness is no longer possible. DO this while still living! So if Jesus has HIS rewards with Him, His saints are His reward, for the perfect life on earth and His atoning death, JUDGMENTS have already been rendered, right? That is GOD's purview!
10. What Judgment is given to the saints?
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." Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."
Note: The books that recorded all the deeds of every person will be opened! The saints will not be judging WHO is saved or lost, but WHY they were saved or lost, thus we shall be reviewing GOD's Judgments! Which is they why of "God's Judgments are made Manifest." The saints will be able to see why one of their loved ones are not there! Plus how many times GOD appealed to them, to come to His side, to be a son or daughter of HIS FAMILY, but they rejected HIM!
11. Will the SINS of the FORGIVEN saints be REVIEWED?
Isaiah 44:22. "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
Note. Thank GOD all our forgiven, [thus repentant of sins] are "blotted Out" meaning from this Hebrew term, is is they never existed. The ones that shall perish, in the lake if Fire, shall also be "Blotted out," from the minds of those who loved or knew them! {How could heaven be heaven if a Mom or Dad, remembered their child forever?} God is not cruel but Satan is, and those men whom he has fully deceived! {Just look at the news]
12. What standard is GOD using to judge us?
Revelation 20:13. "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." Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Note: Yes, we are saved by GRACE, through faith, in the Bible is clear, we are judged according to our works. It is by Grace we are forgiven of sins of our past, and faith leads us to repent by the powers of the Holy Spirit, from those actions GOD commands us to turn away from .. Acts 17:30. "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"
FAITH is an verb and action word, read Hebrews 11 chapter.
Ecclesiastes 12:14. ""
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Note: Judgments shall be based only on the amount of truth each has received, [even if rejected] and based on the Royal Law, the Ten Commandments!
13. What happens at the end of the 1,000 years?
Revelation 20:9-10. "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. 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: At this time Satan is "Loosed", because this marks the 2nd Resurrection, the dead become alive, but they will NOT have the Glorious bodies, they will have the same shapes, looks and illnesses and hurts, that they died with! Satan will have again people he can deceive, all the wicked ones that ever lived. He will gather them to surround the city, as his war with Jesus, still burns within him. They will gather to do the final battle with Christ and and his own!
NOTE: This shall take place on this earth, and the Lake of Fire will consume them with Satan, and purify earth from human pollution, and remove all traces of the old civilization.
14. Where will the saints be at the end of the 1,000 years?
Revelation 21:2. "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Note: This will fulfill the words of Christ..... Matthew 5:5. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
15. What will happen to Satan & CO., at this time frame?
Revelation 20:9-10. "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. 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: Satan and all those who did not choose, thus by default sided with the deceiver, will join him in the fires. But what about the "tormented day and night for ever and ever.."?
Sodom was to burn forever and ever, is it still burning? Look......
Malachi 4:3. "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."
Note: When anyone is reduced to ashes, are they still suffering, or still burning?. Will they ever come back?
17. What will GOD do with this earth after the fire goes out?
Isaiah 65:17. "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."
NOTE: This is the very first time human eyes, shall see God' s creative power at work, as HE created a new Eden upon the whole earth!
QUESTION: Are YOU interested in living with Jesus on the earth made new?
Next: God's Law or "Are the 10 Commandments still valid today?"
