REV 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them.
1. "to make an end of sin" which is a prophecy of our Lord dealing with the main problem of man's sin which is his sin of unbelief.
2. "to finish the transgression" which refers to not only the payment for all of our sins but also dealing with the problems of the entire OSN, including even the good things that the OSN produces as well, called human good.
3. He also atoned or paid the price for the results of our sins, especially the ones that produced guilt and condemnation resulting in having to pay to society what the individual owes society for breaking the rules of the land which are called iniquities for breaking such laws as the Ten Commandments.
4. Prophecy #4 is the prophecy that says that our Lord will eventually “bring in everlasting righteousness.”
Everlasting = the Hebrew noun `owlam referring to that which will eventually happen and last for a very long period of time.
GAL 1:4 He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
EPH 5:2 loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
EPH 5:25 loved the church and gave Himself up for her;
1TI 2:6 gave Himself as a ransom for all,
"ALL" including the worst sinners that ever lived like Judas, Hitler, Hussein, Marx, the serial killer, the murderer, the child molester, and the chief of all sinners in 1TI 1:15, the religious person called Saul of Tarsus, but later on the apostle Paul, and for you and for me.
TIT 2:14 gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
DAN 9:24 - There is coming a time when the Lord will bring in everlasting righteousness, it refers to the coming of a kingdom on this earth which we call the Millennial reign.
This is a prophecy about the coming of the king, our Lord and Savior, for the second time He will come back on this earth and set up the Millennial reign for one thousand years of perfect environment and prosperity and blessings.
Jesse was the father of David and this verse refers to the fact that TLJC will come forth from the line of David to rule from the throne of
David in Jerusalem for 1,000 years on this earth.
if I said that God was going to free His people from the tyranny an slavery they were under in Egypt, you would probably laugh, sneer, mock, and think I'm crazy, but it did happen.
If I said that the Israeli military would march around the walls of Jericho twice in one day and blow a trumpet and the defensive walls would come tumbling down, you would probably laugh, sneer, mock, and think I'm crazy, but it did happen.
MAT 19:26 "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
LUK 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God."
LUK 18:27 "The things impossible with men are possible with God." JOH 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
JOH 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.
JOH 5:22 "For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,
JOH 8:15 "You people judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
JOH 12:47 "And if anyone hears My sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
JOH 12:48 "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
1CO 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.
The point is that in the perfect environment of the Millennial reign those who judge others will be severely disciplined by our Lord and Savior!
This means that even under perfect environment during the Millennial reign that capital punishment will still exist.
PSA 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
PSA 85:11 Truth springs from the earth; And righteousness looks down from heaven.
PSA 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before Thee.
ISA 32:17 And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
1. There will be world peace. National and individual peace will be the fruit of the Messiah's Reign, ISA 2:4; 11:6-9; 60:18; 61:7.
“And he shall judge among the nations” means that this is a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ as the ultimate judge ruling.
When Christ rules the world national entities retain their national boundaries.
In the Millennium when you have international reign — Christ will rule the world — but nations will still be nations.
This fact alone once again indicates the importance of nationalism and patriotism and how internationalism is always anti-Christian and anti-God.
Any organization which seeks to break down nationalistic barriers is a satanic organization or is one of the great objectives of Satan to destroy nations = The United Nations.
2. It will be a fantastic time of inner happiness and joy, ISA 9:3-4; JER 30:18-19; ZEP 3:14-17.
1CO 2:9 but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him."
ROM 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
JER 30:18 "Thus says the Lord, #'Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And have compassion on his dwelling places; And the city shall be rebuilt on its ruin, And the palace shall stand on its rightful place.
JER 30:19 'And from them shall proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who make merry; And I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also honor them, and they shall not be insignificant.
Every believer will have a life of honor and purpose and no one will feel insignificant or inferior.
There will be no disaster in Israel, no sadness or sorrow but just a nation of joy and prosperity.
3. The kingdom will also be characterized by glory, ISA 4:2; 60:1-9
4. It will be a kingdom manifested by holiness, ISA 1:26-27; JER 31:23; EZE 36:24-31.
JER 31:23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I restore their fortunes, #'The Lord bless you, O abode of righteousness, O holy hill!'
5. The King will personally minister to every need so that there will be the fullness of "comfort", ISA 12:1-2; JER 31:23-25; ZEC 9:11-12.
ZEC 9:11 As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
ZEC 9:12 Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
JER 31:23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I restore their fortunes, #'The Lord bless you, O abode of righteousness, O holy hill!'
Please notice all of the divine blessings that will take place because you are also going to see the ingratitude and implacability that develops.
EZE 36:24 "For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land.
EZE 36:25 "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
6. There will be the administration of perfect justice, ISA 9:7; JER 23:5; 31:29-30.
7. There will be the most fantastic teaching ministry of God the H.S., ISA 11:1-2; 41:19-20; Hab 2:14.
8. There will be direct instruction from TLJC as the King of kings, ISA 29:17-24; 3:14-15; MIC 4:2.
MIC 4:2 And many nations will come and say, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
All of the nations in the world will recognize the greatness of the nation of Israel.
It is such a great nation because of three of the greatest individuals who ever lived came from Israel-----Jesus Christ, Paul the apostle and Moses.
9. The original curse placed upon creation in GEN 2:17-19 will be removed! There will be abundant productivity to the earth, even the animal creation will be changed, ISA 11:6-9; 35:9; 65:25.
10. Sickness will be removed. The ministry of the King as the healer will be seen throughout the Millennium so that sickness and even death will be removed, the exception being "death" in dealing with criminal sin or capital punishment, ISA 33:24; JER 30:17; EZE 34:16.
JER 30:17 'For I will restore you to health And I will heal you of your wounds,' declares the Lord, 'Because they have called you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."
EZE 34:16 "I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.
11. All of the deformed are healed as well, if they were deformed at the time of the Second Advent they will experience a total healing, ISA 29:17-19; JER 31:8; MIC 4:6-7.
JER 31:8 "Behold, I am bringing them from the north country, And I will gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; A great company, they shall return here.
MIC 4:6 "In that day," declares the Lord, "I will assemble the lame, And gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted.
12. There will also be a supernatural work of preservation in the Millennial age through the King, ISA 41:8-14; EZE 34:27; Joel 3:16-17.
EZE 34:27 "Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
13. There will be no social, political, or religious oppression, ISA 14:3-6; 42:6-7; ZEC 9:11-12.
14. There will not be the tragedies of mental illness or of infant deaths, ISA 65:20.
15. The earth's population will soar and there will be sex. Children will be born to the believers who began the Millennium and will have a sin nature and therefore need salvation, JER 30:20; 31:29; EZE 47:22; ZEC 10:8.
JER 30:20 'Their children also shall be as formerly, And their congregation shall be established before Me; And I will punish all their oppressors.
16. There will exist a perfect economic system (e.g. no unions) in which the needs of men are abundantly provided for, ISA 62:9-9; 65:21-23; JER 31:5.
17. There will be an increase of solar and lunar light. The increased light probably is a major cause of the increased productivity of the earth, ISA 4:5; 30:26; 60:19-20; ZEC 2:5.
ZEC 2:5 'For I,' declares the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.' "
18. There will be a unified language. The language barriers will be removed so that there can be free social intercourse, ZEP 3:9.
ZEP 3:9 "For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
a. Abrahamic covenant, the promises in the Abrahamic covenant concerning the land are fulfilled, MIC 7:18-20; EZE 34:24-31.
b. The Davidic covenant, the promises in the Davidic covenant concerning the king, the throne, and the royal house are fulfilled in the Millennial age, JER 23:5-8,20-26; 34:23-25; 37:23-24.
c. Palestinian covenant, the promises of this covenant concerning the possession of the land are fulfilled by Israel in the Millennial age. d. The New covenant, the promises of the New covenant of the new heart, the forgiveness of sin, the filling of the Spirit, all find their fulfillment in to Israel in the Millennium, JER 31:31-34; 32:35-39; EZE 11:18-20; ROM 11:26-29.
During the Millennium all nations come before TLJC and worship Him as God, PSA 86:9; ZEC 14:16-19.
1. Mankind cannot be satisfied without a personal relationship with TLJC. 2. Believers can use B.D. and remain faithful even in prosperity.
The fact that man has 1,000 years of perfect environment and he revolts against perfect environment is a demonstration of the principle that environment is not the solution to man's problems.
Environment is not even the basis for happiness! It is the individual's soul that counts, not the environment.
We noted the Edenic dispensation under the age or dispensation of the Gentiles and we noted how they failed.
We noted the antediluvian age under the dispensation of the Gentiles and how mankind failed, i.e., operation flood.
We also noted the postdiluvian age under the dispensation of the Gentiles in which we saw mankind once again fail in the Tower of Babel incident.
We noted the dispensation of Israel and how the Jews totally failed no matter what the Lord did.
Then in the first Christocentric dispensation we saw how TLJC came unto His own but His own did not receive Him and how they failed.
The Church-age began and the word of God teaches that even in that dispensation most believers reject the lordship of TLJC and they fail.
Another dispensation, the Tribulation begins with God using Crisis evangelism to warn people but they still reject TLJC.
Finally perfect environment is given for 1,000 years. The question, will mankind respond to the Lord then?? The answer...No!
Without a relationship with TLJC mankind is an implacable, frustrated, miserable, ungrateful, hard-hearted wicked individual.
"There is none good, not one". Amen, so be it. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly. Praise God. Alleluia. Praise Jesus and His word. Amen.
