The MillenniumRev 11:15-19

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the

kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their

faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast

taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead,

that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that

fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the

ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an

earthquake, and great hail.

Rev 10:7 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Rev 11:15

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the

kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Eph 1:9-129 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,

according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together

in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinatedaccording to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of

his own will:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

WHEN THE 7th Trumpet will be sounded (in Rev 11:15) , THEN: -> ‘The mystery of God should be finished’

The Millennium

Acts 1:1-81 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do

and teach,2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had

given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,

being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have

heard of me.5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not

many days hence.6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,

Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which

the Father hath put in his own power.8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto

the uttermost part of the earth.

Did Jesus perhaps also talk about His 1,000 year reign on earth?

What did the apostles mean when they asked

Jesus when the kingdom would be restored to Israel?

gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

Zech 8:33 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city

of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

Joel 3:16-1716 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but

the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any

more.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Psalm 72:2-82 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the

little hills, by righteousness. 4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain

upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their

offspring with them.24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will

answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion

the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Is 4:2-3 2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and

comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in

Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

Is 27:66 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel

Ez 34:26-2926 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a

possess all these things.13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save

you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

Ez 36:32-3832 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your

own ways, O house of Israel.33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have

cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay

desolate in the sight of all that passed by.35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and

desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of

by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

Jer 3:16-1916 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the

covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. 17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD;

and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of

their evil heart. 18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. 19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant

land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Zech 12:1010 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the

inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have

pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in

bitterness for his firstborn.

Jer 31:31-3431 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new

covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them

out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God,

and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of

them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Micah 2:12-1312 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the

remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 13 The breaker is come up before them: they have

broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of

them.

Ez 37:24-2824 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one

shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant,

wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall

be their prince for ever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and

multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel,

when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Ez 39:20-2220 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and

chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I will set my glory among the

heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

Ez 39:25-2925 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of

Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land,

and none made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in

them in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the

heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I

have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

THE NATION ISRAEL (THE REMNANT) SHALL BE RESTORED

Jer 33:6-86 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure

them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as

at the first. 8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will

pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

Jer 31:1-2At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all

the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 2 Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the

sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Luke 12:42-55 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh

ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Luke 19:11-27 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom

of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return…….. 15 And

it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom……. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities…….. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities…….. 27 But those mine enemies, which would

not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

1 Cor 6:2-3 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest

ARE:Amillennialism

Symbolic Interpretations of the Millennium.

Amillennial View:Literally means no millennium.

Allegorical approach or symbolic approach to scripture.

Started in the 4th century.View introduced by the catholic theologian Augustine.

He was convinced that the 1,000 year kingdom would be between Jesus’ 1st and 2nd coming. Jesus rules over a “spiritual

kingdom” in the hearts of mankind.

Post-Millennial View:Belief that we are currently in the 1,000 reign of Christ.

Belief that the gospel would spread throughout the earth. Things would get gradually better and better.

Eventually through the effect of the gospel, men would bring in the kingdom.

After a 1,000 year of man’s continued improvement, Jesus would return.

View introduced by a 17th century Unitarian minister, Daniel Whitby.

Allegorical approach examples in Scripture : • belief that “last days” does not mean “last days”.• belief that “Israel and Jerusalem” does not mean “Israel and Jerusalem”• belief that the “1,000 years” does not mean a “1,000 years”

Amillennial View: Post-Millennial View:

Current Year?

1,000 years = “symbolic kingdom”

39Can one ignore the all the evidence in the Bible supporting the Pre-Millennial view?

Is Satan currently bound for a ‘1,000 years’? (Rev 20:2-3)

Which is valid for believers today?“Those that will live and reign with Christ a 1,000 years” are: (Rev 20:4)• Those that will have part in the first resurrection• They that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God.• Which have not worshipped the beast, neither his image.• Which have not received the beast’s mark in their forehead or in their hand.

Those that will have part in the first resurrection will: (Rev 20:6)• be priests of God and of Christ • and shall reign with Him a 1,000 years.

Have we as believers experienced the first resurrection?

THIS IS THE FIRST

RESURRECTION?

Matt 15:18-2018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and

they defile the man.19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with

unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Will mankind still sin when Satan is bound for a 1,000 years?

Rom 3:9-129 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that

they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together

become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:23 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

For all have sinned.There is none righteous, no, not one.

There is none that does good, no, not one.The heart is deceitful above all things.

Jer 17:99 The heart is

deceitful above all things, and

desperately wicked: who can know it?

1 John 1:8 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
