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

LIFE,

HIS VOICE,

like a cloud covering the land. They
will invade a land of UN-WALLED VILLAGES and plunder and
loot. You
will come from your place in the far north against my people Israel O Gog. Every man's sword will be against his brother.
I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and
burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him -- Ezekiel 40:1-18 I
will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the COASTLANDS, (USA) I will give you as food to all kinds of

men
