The Millennial Kingdom
After the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the defeat and disposal of every hostile & evil power, the time has come for the setting up of Christ`s Millennial Kingdom. This will be a wonderful time of blessing and fruitfulness for the nation of Israel and for those who obey Christ`s rule through them.
`Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the Lord`s house shall be established on the top of the mountains,
& shall be exalted above the hills; & all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come & say,
“Come, & let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways, & we shall walk in his paths,”
for out of Zion shall go forth the law, & the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.`
(Isaiah 2: 2 & 3)
Peace and tranquillity will prevail with the absence of wars as people will stop making weapons and make farm tools instead. Rain will come in the right season to produce a good harvest with food and work for everyone. Thus people will live longer. However if there is disobedience then there will be consequences as the rulership is `with the rod of iron.`
`They shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning - hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.`
(Micah 4: 3)
`I will cause showers to come down in their season;....
then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit,...`
(Ex. 34: 26 & 27)
There will be many generations of people during this thousand years and even though they have been under God`s blessing the human rebellious carnal will, still desires to have its own way. Thus when Satan is let loose, he deceives the nations who think they can again destroy God`s plan of rulership through Israel. This time God just sends fire from heaven as a complete judgment upon them.
`Now when the 1,000 years have expired Satan will be released from his prison
and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth,
Gog and Magog, together them together to battle,
whose number is as the sand of the sea.
They went up on the breadth of the earth
and surrounded the camp of the saints & the beloved city.
And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
And the devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone
where the beast and the false prophet are.
And they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
(Rev. 20: 7 – 10)
