Does Yeshua Himself reign on earth for 1000 years before the end of the age?
Acts 3:21. Heaven has received Him until the restoration of all things spoken of by all
the holy prophets since the world began.
Ezekiel 34:23-31. And I will set up one shepherd over them and he shall feed them,
my servant David, he shall feed them and he shall be their shepherd.
And I the Lord
shall be their God and David a prince among them. I the Lord have spoken it and I will make with them a covenant of peace.
Ezekiel 37:24-28. And David my servant shall be king over them and they shall all have one shepherd over them...and they shall dwell in the land I have given to Jacob my servant... and David shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant...and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Is rule by granted authority not familiar to all who know the scriptures?
Joseph ruled in Egypt, Daniel in Babylon and Persia. Even Mordecai had his say.
The Millennial Reign of Messiah is the seventh day of mankind.
Is there not one final rebellion at the end?
Is this not foreshadowed by the end of Solomon's reign?
In the millennial kingdom of the house of David, people live long prosperous lives,
but not eternal lives.
Isaiah 65:20. One who dies at 100 will be as if a child, but a sinner of 100 years will know
they are cursed.
During the 1000 year reign the law of God will be enforced from Jerusalem and
the word of God will come forth from mount Zion. (
Isaiah 2.)
And after these 1000 years there will be one final rebellion. Sin will continue during the millennium and will be dealt with by the law.
1 Timothy 1:9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane.
Satan will be bound and man will know that there is a sin nature in him that cannot be blamed on
“the devil made me do it”. Sinners will chafe under the law of God for 1000 years. This is foreshadowed in the Old Testament, for after the glorious 40 year reign of Solomon, a kingdom like no other on earth, the people rebelled, complaining of the severity of his reign.
Isaiah 33:14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
Messiah Yeshua remains at the right hand of the Father until all enemies are under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:
25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy
that will be destroyed
is death.
27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under
Him,”
it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
These everlasting covenants are without respect of persons. The terms are final.
Revelation 2:
26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give
power over the nations—
27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father
