Thousand Year Reign
Thousand Year Reign
1st I want to establish that this is a real physical kingdom
with Jesus as king
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
No more will there be false gods
1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Turn to Revelation 20
The Battle of Armageddon is now over
Jesus will reign Bodily on the earth
V 4
and a familiar Christmas verse
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
the angel came to Mary and said your son till rule on the throne of David
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Zechariah prophesied that God would dwell with them
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
all of these prophesies are given to us by God
they all talk of a literal, physical kingdom on this earth
Davids throne was a real throne at a real place in Jerusalem
David reigned over a real people, the Israelites
Jesus will reign from that same place, but over the whole world
Why The Reign?
Why The Reign?
Promised to the Israelites
Go to Deuteronomy 30:3- 9
Kings and kingdoms throughout history have proven that all ended up being corrupt
satan will have his kingdom and it will evil and very ruthless
Jesus will prove that a kingdom can be righteous and Just
Go back to Revelation V 1-3
Satan is put in the bottomless Pit for a thousand years
After he MUST be released
(Why not the lake of fire? = because the lake of fire is permanent
even after a thousand years there is no release)
after lose for a season
Why!? = V 7-9
People have a perfect opportunity to believe in Jesus.
He is there every year people will pilgrimage to see Him
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
They will not have the excuse- satan deceived me
Even under perfect conditions people will still not believe
Even under these perfect conditions, once the devil deceives
they surround and want to destroy Jesus
Proving that people cant say the situation was not right for me to know Jesus
Who, Will He Reign?
Who, Will He Reign?
The Jews
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
All who get saved in the tribulation
All who are alive at the return, and believe, when they see their Messiah coming in the clouds.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
This is talking of the Old Testament Saints Daniel,Moses, Isaiah, ect..
Turn to Ezekiel 20 33-38
The Nations/ Gentiles
Turn to Matthew 25: 31
The ones saved in the tribulation/ the elect/ chosen
these will be ushered into the kingdom with their natural bodies
they will still have their sin nature?
these will populate the nations
Just like the Jews who come through will populate Israel
Reign With Christ
Reign With Christ
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
—King of Kings Lord of Lords—implying that there are others
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Lets look at a passage that seem to say that the literal King David will rule with the King of Kings
Turn to Ezekiel 37:24
Those martyred for Christ in the tribulation
Turn to Revelation 20:4
last week we saw the Bride of Christ return with Jesus to earth.
V 6 they will reign also with Jesus
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Reign in Righteousness
Reign in Righteousness
Satan will be bound and demons will be inactive.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; 4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
1. v. 6 “Wonderful Counselor” – a king with great wisdom
2. v. 6 “Mighty God” – a king with divine power
3. v. 6 “Everlasting Father” – a king who acts like a father to his people
4. v.6 “Prince of Peace” – a king who brings peace
No peace no justice is the slogan today and they are right
but this world today will never know it
Jesus will finally bring onto this earth the world that Adam and Eve were intended to live
a perfect paradise. lions and lambs. children playing in the snakes den
all animals are herbivores.
no more curse on the land
no more curse in childbearing
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
