END TIMES MILLENNIAL KINGDOM - IITB 16.20

 

Chapter 16.20

The Millennial

Kingdom

Final Conflict - Judgment of the Dead - Satan’s Doom

 

 

     For some reason, when we consider what’s going to happen at “The End of Time” our BS only concentrates on the Battle of Armageddon and ignores the main purpose for the second coming of Christ; it’s really about the MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST; the 1,000 years of PROBATION which is the LAST TIME man and angels get an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and CHOOSE.

     There are a number of Belief Systems on the Millennial Kingdom; of WHEN Jesus will return for His Millennial reign: and each one is due the time and space it deserves to discuss and are a word study all into their own self... See IITB 15.13 Millennialism for an in-depth discussion.

     There are THREE basic interpretations

1)      Amillennialism: Christ’s Second Advent can be anytime now... There is no “future” millennial reign because it already exist NOW in heaven with Jesus and the saints of old; A” means NO or NOT; there is not a literal millennium reign, just an unknown period of time. (Revelation is interpreted symbolically.) 

2)     Postmillennialism: Christ’s Second Advent IS AFTER the 1,000 years reign of peace and righteousness; the preaching of the gospel and the saving work of the Holy Spirit. (Revelation is interpreted symbolically.)

3)     Premillennialism: Christ’s Second Advent PRECEDES the 1,000 year reign of peace and righteousness on earth.  The righteous are resurrected to rule and reign with Him. (Revelation is interpreted literally.)

     In my BS, I support the Pre-Millennial Kingdom of God, meaning that Jesus will return after the TRIBULATIONS have been completed, when Satan has been defeated, and Sin has been conquered.

 

The Great Chain

 

Revelation 20:1-3 - And I saw an ANGEL coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand A GREAT CHAIN.

2 He seized the DRAGON, that ancient SERPENT,

which is the DEVIL, or SATAN, and

BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

3 He threw him into the ABYSS, and locked and sealed it over him,

to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore

until the THOUSAND YEARS were ended.

AFTER THAT, HE MUST BE SET FREE FOR A SHORT TIME.

 

Four Names for the Adversary – The counterfeit god of this world

1)      Dragon symbolizes his cruelty.

2)     Serpent symbolizes his cunning treachery and guile.

3)     Devil    symbolizes him as the deceiver, the tempter of man.

4)     Satan    symbolizes him as the opponent and the enemy of Jesus Christ and His saints.    

     There is a lot of different Belief Systems about who this ANGEL is.  One BS is that Satan is brought so low that just an ordinary angel will be his Jailor.  Others BS feels this to be Michael the strong high Archangel; but my BS tends to embrace that the Angel is Jesus Himself as He holds all the keys.[1]

ü  Satan has been very busy, messing with the lives of the believer and the unbeliever alike. [2]

ü  Satan is a spiritual being and cannot be restrained by any physical means. 

ü  This Great Chain is the CHAIN OF EVIDENCE, with every wicked link testifying and condemning him to darkness[3] away from the face of God and rendering him totally inactive from deceiving the nations.[4]

ü  The power of the Great Chain is the blood of Jesus Christ and the Gospel message.

ü  This sets the stage for the Millennial Reign of Christ.  (Millennial is Latin for Thousand.)

 

Judgment #4 – The Gentile Sheep/Goat Nations

ü  Occurs at the CLOSE of the Great Tribulation.

ü  Christ is the Judge.

ü  Everyone is judged in their own country.

ü  Each person is judged on their ATTITUDE and TREATMENT of His chosen people, Israel.[5]

ü  The nations that FAIL are Goat nations and are cast into hell and cease to exist as a nation.[6]

ü  The nations that PASS are Sheep nations and continue as a Nation in the coming millennial reign of Christ.[7]

 

Millennial Reign

 

Revelation 20:4 - I saw thrones on which were seated

THOSE WHO HAD BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY TO JUDGE.

And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God.

They had not worshiped the BEAST or his IMAGE and

had not received his MARK on their foreheads or their hands.

They came to life and REIGNED WITH CHRIST a thousand years.

 

     Those awarded authority to judge and rule the nations are most probable the 12 disciples, the 24 elders, those raptured as well as the body of Christ from all ages.[8]  Those that “came to life” are the tribulation saints that were just “resurrected”, these are given a different, but special place of authority.

      Some students of the Word BS symbolize everything in this verse, but in my BS, I believe that everything is literal, THE THRONES ARE LITERAL, the Beast, his image and his mark on their forehead and arm are all literal.

     The Millennium is a transition period that is somewhat like how the earth had been in the Garden of Eden and the coming new earth and eternity.  Better than it was, but not as good as its going to be.

     All of creation is WITNESS and watching what man will do when there is peace and everything is plentiful. After the return of Christ there is an interval of 45 days for installing those who rule and reign with Him and taking care of a little business.  1335 days subtract 1290 is 45 days[9]

     During the Millennium there will be many born and man will still have FREE WILL and sin is still possible, some may choose not to go annually to Jerusalem to worship.[10]  Ruling with an iron rod,[11] Christ will withhold rain from these to give them another “Course Corrector”.  Sin will not be totally purged till after the MILLENNIUM when God burns up everything in the earth including the wicked and gives us a brand new earth

     In His millennium reign, Christ will rule over the other nations from Jerusalem, aided by many immortal Christians, by King David, The Church, The Apostles, Nobles, Princes, Judges and some lesser authorities.[12] Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, IN EARTH as it is in heaven.[13]

     Our faithfulness today determines the extent of our responsibilities in His kingdom.[14] Those who were faithful in just a few things will be given authority over much.[15]        

     Jesus will judge the Gentile Nations from the beginning of Abraham to the present, on how they treated the Jews and the Hebrew Nation of Israel. 

This is in preparation for the Great White Throne Judgment that is to follow for the wicked.

     At the FINAL JUDGMENT, the SHEEP will take their INHERITANCE in the Kingdom and the GOATS follow Satan into the LAKE OF FIRE

     Did you see it?  Everyone has an inheritance; some everlasting JOY others everlasting TORMENT.  I am including Matthew’s commentary on this as it paints a very clear picture of God’s preparation for the INHERITANCE that every single person will receive.

 

Matthew 25:31-46 – SEPARATION PREPARATION

31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

32 All the NATIONS will be gathered before him, and

He will separate the people one from another

as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will put the sheep on his RIGHT

and the goats on his LEFT.

34 "Then the King will say to those on his right,

`Come, you who are blessed by my Father;

Take your INHERITANCE, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

35 I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,

     I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,

   I was a stranger and you invited me in,

36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,

   I was sick and you looked after me,

   I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37 "Then the righteous will answer him, `

Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40 "The King will reply,

I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41 "Then he will say to those on his LEFT,

`Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat,

     I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in,

I needed clothes and you did not clothe me,

I was sick and in prison, you did not look after me

44 They also will answer,

`Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'   45 "He will reply, `

I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46 Then they will go away to ETERNAL PUNISHMENT,

but the righteous to ETERNAL LIFE." NIV

 

The First Resurrection

 

Revelation 20:5-6 - This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)

6 BLESSED and holy are those who have part in the

FIRST RESURRECTION.

The second death has no power over them,

but they will be priests of God and of Christ

and will reign with him for a thousand years.

 

     During THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN the NATIONS will be taught the ways of Christ, there will be no war,[16] the ANIMALS will live in peace, the POOR and the NEEDY will be lifted up,[17] there will be prosperity and the EARTH will produce a bountiful harvest. 

     There are TWO LITERAL RESURRECTIONS; the FIRST RESURRECTION is for THE SAINTS who will reign with Christ, then a THOUSAND YEARS LATER a SECOND RESURRECTION will take place for THE WICKED, then they are judged.

     The First Resurrection of the SAVED in my BS has THREE phases within time;

1)      At the CROSS, when graves were opened and the dead were seen in the city of Jerusalem.[18]

2)     At the RAPTURE, the resurrection of the dead Saints from all ages prior to the tribulation period[19]

3)     At the middle of the TRIBULATION, when the martyred saints are translated.[20]

     The Second Resurrection of the UNSAVED happens at the Great White Throne Judgment. [21]

 

     All wicked and evil men are now gone from the earth and only the SAVED remain AND MULTIPLY.  In spite of a perfect rule of peace and prosperity, sin comes back into the world again, proving man has a sinful nature and cannot change apart from the Holy Spirit drawing him.

     Interestingly enough, nothing in the scriptures indicate that those who are born during the MILLENNIUM will be required to make a decision for Christ until after Satan is cut loose from the abyss to deceive the nations again.  Some of these people will grow up “conforming outwardly” to Christ and His teachings, but inwardly, THEY REALLY DON’T CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER”.  This is so sad, for they will be easy prey for Satan.

     Did you see it?  This is what happened in the very beginning of time with Cain and Abel, both were conforming to God’s precepts and commands, but Cain was only conforming outwardly, he really did not care one way or the other.[22]  It was not Cain’s offering that God rejected, it was his inward attitude.

GOD LOOKS ON THE HEART.[23]

Satan is Released

 

Revelation 20:7-9 - When the thousand years are over,

Satan will be RELEASED from his prison

8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth

GOG AND MAGOG-to gather them for battle.

In number they are like the sand on the seashore.

9 They marched across the breadth of the earth

and surrounded the camp of God's people, THE CITY HE LOVES.

But FIRE came down from heaven and devoured them.

 

    The Term “Gog and Magog” as used here is symbolic of Ezekiel’s record of a similar battle fought long BEFORE the Millennial Reign.  Ezekiel’s battle was primarily with Russia and her allies (Egypt) coming against Israel.  Although Russia was defeated, there WERE a number of survivors.

     This SECOND BATTLE of Gog and Magog mentioned in Revelation is with Satan enlisting those from THE NATIONS that are still living at the end of the millennium, this includes Russia.  God allows armies as numerous as the sand to gather and surround the capital city of Jerusalem, then destroys ALL OF THEM with FIRE.  In my BS these NATURAL FORCES from God is actually a NUCLEAR BOMB.

     NOTE: Today Satan is free to do whatever he chooses, but with limitations.  During the Millennial Reign of Christ, Satan’s authority and control is BOUND and he can do nothing.  But then after the completion of the Millennial Reign of Christ, there is a short brief period of time just before the Final Judgment, where ALL of Satan’s restraints are loosed for him to do whatever he chooses to do.  So it’s actually a tad longer than 1,000 years before all Hell breaks loose”. 

 

Exploring the TWO BATTLES of Revelation

     It is often difficult to separate the different battles that scripture is referring to.  There were two Gog and Magog’s mentioned in scripture, but they were not the same. Ezekiel’s battle of Gog and Magog is lengthy, and I include some of it in the footnotes for you to get the jest of it.[24] (Remember Ezekiel’s Battle is NOT the same battle as in Revelation, it just describes what happens.

Gog is a King or leader and in this case is the Antichrist totally consumed by Satan

Magog is a people or nations that join up and follow him.

     A magician keeps you looking at his left hand while his right hand is doing something else.  Don’t take your eyes off the right hand; while you are thinking Russia, China and North Korea; the real players are the Muslims and the Jews; this is what the battle is about.

     I could say there is just one battle, but in two phases; it starts, then is put on hold for 1,000 years and then picks up again for the final conclusion. It takes place on the “Hill of Megiddo” which is geographically the center between three continents; Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

1)      The FIRST BATTLE is between the Muslims & Jews and last for about 3 ½ years and is about LAND. It begins during the tribulations and just before the Millennial Reign of Christ and is with Russia and her allies against Israel.  This battle doesn’t go well and is placed ON HOLD.

There are SOME survivors.

2)     The SECOND and final BATTLE picks up again 1,000 years later after the Millennial Reign of Christ when Satan is released from the pit to gather his armies from the four corners of the earth to join him.  This battle is between Satan and Jesus Christ and is about SOULS, and lasts for less than one day.  Please see IITB Book 15.15 Armageddon, for more than you want to know.

There are NO survivors, man nor animal.[25]

Satan - Thrown into the Lake of Fire

 

Revelation 20:10 - And THE DEVIL, who deceived them,

was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur,

where THE BEAST and THE FALSE PROPHET had been thrown.

They will be TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT for ever and ever.

 

     The Antichrist and his Prophet have been in torment in the LAKE OF FIRE for one thousand years, now SATAN joins them.  They have NOW been judged.  The Lake of fire is a place and it is also a state.  It is a place of indescribable TORMENT[26] and it is a state of eternal SEPARATION from the face of God.  Oddly enough, God is everywhere all at once, He is even in the Lake of Fire,[27] but it is only His WRATH that is there, NOT His Love and Compassion.

Heaven and Earth Destroyed.

     Somehow in my BS, with the Church gone, the Holy Spirit gone, the saved resurrected and raptured; FEAR and EVIL is running rapid; perhaps the Nations will just start blowing each other up with nuclear bombs, releasing all the fuel and energy that’s stored up within the bowels of earth.  Purging the earth of all evil and sin, making way for a new heaven and a new earth.  Just saying.

     Some students of the Word BS is that the earth will be purged with fire and God will just do URBAN RENEWAL here and we will start over on this renovated earth that has just been purged of Sin.

     My BS has another thought.  God assigned the EARTH to the “immortal” angel Satan to oversee and protect it, probably forever. Satan with his “free will” desired to be like God and have all the earth worship him.  So God just gives the whole thing to him and his friends and then bowls this burning bowling ball of hell fire into eternity somewhere.  Although a little toasty, Satan gets exactly what he has always wanted.  The earth is now his and is LIT UP like a CHRISTMAS TREE for a solar system somewhere. Just saying, but that’s just my BS

     The EARTH and HEAVENS have been burned up, purged of all sin, and now just for the Believers, God creates a New Heaven and a New Earth.[28]   The New Jerusalem has already been prepared and will come down from the Heavens.  In my BS, I think it’s already occupied with the saints of old. (My thoughts only - no scripture – just saying)

     The Bible does not say what happens to the Gentiles and the saved Jews when the earth is destroyed, but the scriptures indicate that GOD REMOVES HIS OWN before a total destruction as He did with Noah[29] and Lot.[30]

 

Great White Throne Judgment - Books are opened

 

 

Revelation 20:11-13 - Then I saw a GREAT WHITE THRONE

and HIM who was seated on it.

Earth and sky fled from his presence,

and there was no place for them.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne,

and BOOKS WERE OPENED.

Another book was opened, which is THE BOOK OF LIFE.

The dead were JUDGED according to what they had done

AS RECORDED IN THE BOOKS.

13 The SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD that were in it, and

DEATH AND HADES GAVE UP THE DEAD that were in them,

and each person was JUDGED according to what he had done.

        

      Many students of the word Belief System is that GOD is the one sitting on the throne, but in my BS, it’s more likely His son, the Lord Jesus Christ.[31]

     The Great White Throne judgment is for the wicked dead because the righteous living and the nations have already been judged.  The SAVED were raised in the First Resurrection, and all that are LOST are raised in the Second Resurrection.  

Judgment #5 – The Great White Thrown Judgment[32]

     This is the judgment where books are opened revealing the “WORKS OR DEEDS” during their lifetime of the wicked dead,[33] and their rejection of Christ.  Every man gets his day in court.

ü  This occurs at the close of the Millennium – The Judge is God the Father.

ü  The location of the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT is somewhere between Heaven where there is no sin, and Earth which is under renovation at this time.  There is no place to hide.

ü  The wicked dead, regardless of their position in life are all standing before the throne and receive their sentence which is different levels[34] of torment in the Lake of Fire for eternity.

ü  They also get something worse, the separation from God for eternity with no hope and no exit.

ü  The Saints have already been judged not guilty, rewarded and have received their crowns at the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.

     Although works will determine rewards, works do not save a man nor get him to heaven,[35] what follows next at the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT is ever lasting fire, smoke, worms, wailing and gnashing of teeth.[36]

 

The Second Death

 

Revelation 20:14 - Then DEATH and HADES

were thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE.

THE LAKE OF FIRE IS THE SECOND DEATH.

 

     Did you see it? In case you missed it. Death the last enemy is thrown into the lake of fire.  Nobody dies in the new heaven and earth. No one will ever die again. [37]

 

Your Name

 

Revelation 20:15 - IF ANYONE'S NAME WAS NOT FOUND

WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE,

HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

 

The Books

ü  The Bible, which is the word of God that judges them [38]

ü  The Book of Deeds containing the account of man’s works on earth.

ü  The Book of Life, the names written down of those that accepted Christ as the son of God and the Messiah.
