I definitely think that motive is in there.I think the Lord's purpose of the Millenial Reign is to show mankind that, this is how is is supposed to work.
What about the unfulfilled purpose for a large majority of Christins.Plus He still has unfulfilled prophecy about the enlargement of Israels borders.
There will be a dispenisation like "summer school" where remedial lessons of sanctification
god will carry out. It will have different flavor from the dealings during the church age.
This is during the thousand years. And it is called "the outer darkness".
We as those justfied for the gift of eternal life do not want to experience "the outer darkness."
We should look to the Lord to dave us from any darkness even today in the age of grace.
In the air Christ will conduct "the judgment seat of Christ" to make decision which of the savedI suppose that this will all be post rapture, so all the Christians (Saints) that come back to earth with Him would have already been transformed into their new spiritual body. We'll all have bodies like Jesus resurected body. Supernatural.
will be rewarded and which will be disciplined.
It is amazing how it is assumed after the Second Coming of Christ the wise Father has no way else
to perfect His children. It surprising how many assume God's hands are tied and He could not
FURTHER work on children who still need it.
Anyway, Christ will choose who has overcome to accompany Him in the millennial reign
and who will go to further perfection in "the outer darkness."
We do not have all the details. But we should assume that where Christ reigns upon earth is a realm of light.
And where He has to reserve someplace outside of that sphere could be called both "outer" and "dark" in comparison.
Thus the phrase from His own lips - "outer darkness."
Say a word if you can about those myriads born during the millennial kingdom who nonetheless are deceived once more.But human babies will continue to be born before and during the millenium. And it is these humans that we rule and reign over on earth for 1000 years. I suppose this is when how it is said, the meek will inherit the earth!
I mean some even after seeing all the good Christ has done for the earth, will still be deceived to follow Satan once he
is loosed for a little while after the millennium.
Isn't that strange? It appears that the Devil still has some use to God to expose something in some people
just before he goes off to his eternal destiny in the lake of fire.
And cast him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little while. (Rev. 20:3) . . .
And when the thousand years are completed, 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, to gather them together for the war. Their number is like that of the sand of the sea.
And they went up upon the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; and fire came down out of heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (vs. 7-10)
