there is no biblical support for the theory that jesus will return, and reign as a literal earthly king over israel. in john 4, in fact, jesus said that from that time on, no one is going to worship in jerusalem, nor any location. worship will not be centered in earthly jerusalem.
neither he nor his apostles ever suggested such a thing. but we look for a new heavens
and a new earth, and that is eternal. 1000 years is symbolic, as most of revelation.
God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, hmmm. THE TRUTH/LAND.> *joshua 21:43-45*,
all of it, fulfilled. abraham is heir of the whole world, along with his seed, which is Christ.
"only those who are christ’s, are abraham’s seed, and heirs of the promise". the new covenant promise is eternal life, in the spirit, Christ in you now and dwelling w/him forever in the new creation. the old covenant is obsolete, for it was fulfilled in the incarnation of Christ.
there is no longer jew or gentile, but one new man. ephesians makes that clear. we who are in christ are the israel of God, and the jerusalem above is the mother of us all.
jesus is now seated on the throne of david, reigning over all the earth, and we who are in him, reign w/him, seated in heaven with him, as co heirs w/christ. *acts 2: 22-36*.
the current nation of israel is not jewish, it is multi religious and multi ethnic. their leaders take the name of God, in vain, to justify their murders, in their ignorance. all who are not in Christ, such even a jews, are antichrist. all people of all nations may be saved in the same way, thru faith in jesus, as revealed in the gospel. "God has committed all under sin that he might have mercy on all", in the one true way. God is no respecter of persons, he is not racist. whoever calls on the name of the lord, Jesus, will be saved, and he will raise us up, at his
coming, at the last day. in the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer,
i have overcome the world. a rebuilt temple in jerusalem would be an abomination of desolation, and would be crumbled when jesus comes to shake the earth again.
only the things that cannot be shaken will remain. the just shall live by faith.
be faithful unto death and receive the crown of life, at his coming. one first coming,
one second coming. due your own due diligence, study the scriptures, eyes wide open.
the day noah got in the ark, the same day, the flood came and took them all away.
the same as the day lot left sodom. it will be just as those days, when the Son of Man
is revealed from heaven. *2 thessalonians chapter one*.
quit man who has but breath in his nostrils. to the law and the testimony, if what they speak is not according to this word, there is no light in them. Word Up!
To be more clear, I think when Satan is released after the thousand years and he goes to all those that are still alive on the earth to get them to rebel against Christ, I think this is the final separation of the sheep and the goats of those last people that are still alive on earth. This wraps up the question of who the Christians are and those that are not.
✝️ Jesus is King!
The Day of the Lord is when all earthly kingdoms will be brought under His subjection
*JESUS said recorded in "1st Corinthians", chapter 15, verse 50 Quote; Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption…*
Premillenial nonsense. Christ is the new Israel. “ I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem coming down as a bride prepared for her husband…….I saw no temple in the Holy City for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb is the temple….”
To replenish the Earth as well. There will be procreation during the Millennium, and they will live longer, too. Hallelujah!!!
The word for “bottomless pit” in the original Greek is “abussos” or abyss. That same word is used in Genesis 1:2 in the Greek version of the Old Testament in connection with the creation of the earth, but there it is translated “deep” “The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep”. How interesting! The words “deep” “bottomless pit” and “abyss” here refer to the same thing, the earth in its totally dark, disorganized form before God made order of it. John, in describing this earth during the 1,000 years, used virtually the same terms as these in Genesis 1:2 “without form and void,” “no light,” “no man,” and “black” So the battered, dark earth with no people alive will be called the “bottomless pit” or “abyss” during the 1,000 years just as it was in the beginning before creation was completed. Isaiah 24:22 also speaks of Satan and his angels during the 1,000 years as “gathered in the pit and “shut up in the prison.”
The righteous will be in heaven with Jesus during the 1,000 years.
Many believe the unsaved will have an opportunity to repent during the 1,000 years but there shall not be a person alive.
“The slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground” (Jeremiah 25:33) “I beheld, and indeed there was no man” (Jeremiah 4:25).
Second Resurrection
"The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations." Revelation 20:5, 7, 8.
At the close of the 1,000 years, the holy city, New Jerusalem, will down from heaven to this earth. When Jesus comes the third time the wicked will be raised. Satan, loosed from his bonds, will then have an earth full of people (all the nations of the world) to deceive.
I think when Jeremiah 31 says He will be their God and they will be my people etc, it’s talking about Israel. How has that not been fulfilled? See I grew up being taught every bit of this about the rapture and the millennial reign and I never understood the point of it, and now I question it entirely because the Bible says nothing about a rapture. It does talk about the SECOND coming of Christ, and the dead being called up out of their graves, the dead in Christ first etc. but if we are raptured before any of the tribulation, that would mean only unbelievers are left, so who would he be returning to call up into the air among the living? It also makes no sense to have 1000 years of perfect peace on this evil planet before God cleanses it with fire. At least not to me. Why do that here then start over again with Satan tempting everyone who has never even known death or sin? It’s just so confusing to me. I think I now believe He came, was crucified and died on the cross for our sin and was resurrected the third day, and when He left He said He would return. His SECOND coming and THAT is the terrible day of the Lord! That’s the end fellas. I think that we will face the tribulation because it says if that time had not been shortened even Gods very elect would have been fooled by Satan and the false miracles etc. doesn’t that mean Gods elect ARE here during the great tribulation? When has the church ever escaped tribulation? We usually endure the worst of it am I right?
The Holy Roman Empire lasted 1,006 years. That might have been it.
1) This thousand years is ongoing right now on Earth and on Heaven and soon that it will end. For a New Earth and a New Heaven will come (Revelation 21:1).
After that Jesus Christ’s ascension to Heaven, his apostles, saints or other true servants of him are reigning now with Jesus Christ in the Heaven. While here on Earth, us Christians today are going thru this time until this thousand years will end. And when it is the end of this thousand years, we will join our Lord Jesus Christ along with his apostles, saints or true servants in his New Heaven and New Earth, where his Holy City is Jerusalem (Revelation 21:1-2).
2) Jews that did not believe their God is Jesus Christ will believed then when Lord Jesus Christ will come down and fight with them against the Gog and Magog (in the Armagedon).
Disagree. We are living in the millenium. Not a literal 1000. 1 Cor 15 makes it clear.
So i have a question… If everyone is raptured who does Jesus spend 1000yrs with on earth??? Diesnt make no sense if believers are not here JS
I think one of the main purposes of the Millenium is to give eveyone a fair chance to either accept God or reject Him. Tying up loose ends so to speak. Don’t want anyone with a legimiate argument that they didn’t have a fair chance.
as long as the bible depict the devil was in jail during the John life period and will stay there for K year ,why do not we focus on how much is the K year and does not seems the rign of Jesus would come simultaniously and already started in the past in stead of expecting to the future?off course the future coming of Jesus is the end period of judgement !
I Wonder how people without the Holy Spirit would be able to sense the love they feel for Christ after the millennial rain. How will they servive the Devil with out the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
So Jesus would become like some God king in a global theocratic monarchy?
How would Jesus and his government rule over such a large empire? would he use advanced technology to micromanage passing of laws and maintaining a stable economy?
Would all the world become christians? from jew, to black, asian, arab, white and latino become christians??
Can someone clarify for me? i am really confused….
We do not have time for a millennial reign;
Seven 1k yr days, the seals,
seven headed dragon, Satan(a power and a principality) reared his ugly head seven times,
5 loaves and 2 fishes, God gave his laws (unleavened bread) to 5k years of man and Jesus died to give us the New Testament 2k years ago (meat, fish) to bind all scripture together,
Rev 17:10 (KJV). In the time of John five kings had fallen, (five seals) and that makes the seal he is in the sixth seal, leaving only one seal (the seventh) left, the one we are in.
We are at the end of our time on this earth, 13 … and in the earthquake were slain of men SEVEN THOUSAND: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Rev 11:13 (KJV).
The 1k year reign was in heaven with those that were “caught up” with Jesus at the first resurrection, the thief on the cross being one of them, he did not “sleep in the lord”, he was in paradise that day.
Amen
@ number of hills where God owns the cattle (Ps. 50:10) is that a literal thousand?
the number of enemy soldiers that one Israelite will pursue (Josh. 23:10) is that a literal thousand?
the number of generations with whom God keeps covenant (Deut. 7:9) is that a literal thousand which by the way would be nearly 30 to 40,000 years???
God is not a hooka bong
Well the way I see it, per my bible interpretation, the millennium is in heaven then the saints come back to earth for eternity. Probably at the end of the 1000 years the earth is made new, burnt to the core. All remnants of a sinful earth are destroyed by fire including but not limited to nuclear waste dumps buried under mountains. Then Jesus re creates the earth as we come back to stay for eternity in a perfect world.
So does this disprove people who say the world could end any moment because even if this started today there would still be 1000 years left
That’s not Israel
The Millennial Kingdom already happened. Read your Bibles.
WE IN CHRIST ARE THE NEW ISRAEL
Sounds like dispensationalism to me.
Fulfilment of Prophecies. 1000 years of peace to the Jewish people..
Walls are weakness manifest indiscriminate of anyone staring at them.
Evidently, none of you study the original language in the Bible! When Christ returns there will be no more time so how can you have 1000 year reign of Christ if there is no more time! God reigns in his elect now the word Greek is defined as 2000 or more years. Christ reign is on earth and it’s between the second chapter in acts and his return quit your stupidity
Things you hear when they are not led by the Holy Ghost.
Peter says: A thousand years are as One Day, and One Day is as a Thousand years.
But don’t tell that to those who pick and choose what is literal, and what is Spiritual, because they still listen to men.
Call and believe on the name of Jesus and you shall be saved. Shalom, you are loved.
There is No 1000 yr rein with Christ on earth. It’s not biblical and NOT IN THE BIBLE. When Christ returns the dead will be resurrected first, the we who remain will be caught up to
meet Christ to be with him in heaven. The wicked are destroyed by the brightness of hid coming. The only one earth is satan. After the 1000 yrs the heavenly city with all the saints will
Return to earth. The wicked will be raised to face judgment , then sent to hell. God will recreate the earth and all will be made new.
just curious, why call it Palestinian covenant instead of Abrahamic covenant?
Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus will ever set foot again on the earth?
It says he will reign in heaven at the right hand of God….
1 Thess 4:16-17 says we will meet him in the air; Matt 13:40-43 says that it will be the righteous who are “left behind “
Rev 22 describes a new Heaven and a new Earth! Not this one…
Another reason is because that is how long it will take us to learn and live God’s ways. We cannot here because the earth is too sinful and we are influenced by it. It will take the 1000 years to forget about the old ways and adapt God’s ways into our life.
This is a Jesuit run channel. The millennial kingdom is happening now at the North Pole with the 144000 and it’s about to end.
Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus will reign for a thousand years ON EARTH? As I see it, the dead in Christ and the living believers will meet Christ in the air and be taken to heaven for a thousand years. After which, the new Jerusalem will descend to the earth made new – the earth having been dormant during the thousand years to enable it to replenish and regenerate.
Why rename the Abrahamic covenant to the palestinian covenant?
Do you believe in the 7000 year timeline for the Earth?
Walls are weakness manifest indiscriminate of everyone staring at it. That’s why no loitering was implemented.
why did you say "The Palestinian Covenant"??
Francisco de Rivera y Pareja and Robert Bellarmine.
These men were the source of your belief. Shalom
It is probably to silence all those who say that if He had just ruled until now they would have not sinned.
From his point of view of the Scriptures, Israel and Jesus have similar values. I thought Jesus was part of the Triune of God, not Israel. Israel was God’s original witness to the world but Jesus fulfilled the promise and the Kingdom of God is in our hearts not a piece of land. Please help me understand. Thanks.
The palestinian covenant? Did i heard that right? When have our God made covenant woth the sea people from greece ?
This is easy, after a thousand years Christ will go to his throne in heaven and "many" will turn back to the God of this world. (Satan- 2 Cor. 4:4)
Every one of you must be spiritually dead because God’s kingdom is spiritual. We are the temple of God. He dwells in us and rules from our hearts. The kingdom of God does not come with observation Evidently not one of you have read your Bible
