2: Bible study for the week

The whole earth

 (Gen 7:17 KJV)  And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.18  And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

 

( Gen 8:8 KJV)  Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

 

(Gen 9:7 KJV)  And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 8  And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9  And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10  And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12  And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15  And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16  And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17  And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.  

 

(Rev 4:3 KJV)  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

 

(Rev 10:1 KJV)  And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

 

While God has promised that he would not flood the earth again with water, God has promised that he will judge earth and all the sinful persons in it for their own personal acts.

 

(Gen 9:19 KJV)  These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

 

(Gen 11:1 KJV)  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

 

(Gen 11:4 KJV)  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6  And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

 

(Exo 10:14 KJV)  And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

 

(2 Chr 16:9 KJV)  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. 

 

(Psa 48:2 KJV)  Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 3  God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

 

(Psa 72:18 KJV)  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. 19   And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

 

(Psa 97:1 KJV)  The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.6   The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8   Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9  For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10  Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11   Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12   Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

 

(Isa 6:3 KJV)  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.....   (Isa 6:5 KJV)  Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 6  Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7  And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9  And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11  Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 12  And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 13  But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

 

(Isa 14:5 KJV)  The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 6   He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 7   The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 8  Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 9  Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10   All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

 

(Isa 14:25 KJV)  That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 27  For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

 

(Isa 28:21 KJV)  For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

 

(Isa 54:4 KJV)  Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

 

(Isa 54:5 KJV)  For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6  For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 7  For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8  In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 9   For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10   For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

 

(Jer 15:10 KJV)  Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. 11  The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

 

(Jer 50:23 KJV)  How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! 24  I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.

 

(Jer 51:41 KJV)  How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! 42  The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

(Lam 2:15 KJV)  All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 16  All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. 17  The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had  commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. 18  Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. 19  Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord:

 

(Ezek 32:2 KJV)  Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.3   Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 4   Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

 

(Ezek 35:7 KJV)  Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 8   And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword...  (Ezek 35:14 KJV)  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.  15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

 

(Dan 2:35 KJV)  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

 

(Dan 7:23 KJV)  Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

 

(Dan 8:5 KJV)  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

 

(Micah 4:13 KJV)  Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

 

(Zec 4:10 KJV)  For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

 

(Zec 4:14 KJV)  Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

 

(Zec 5:3 KJV)  Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. 4  I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

 

(Luke 21:33 KJV)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.3 4 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth .36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

 

(Isa 6:3 KJV)  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

 

(Psa 99:9 KJV)  Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

 

(Ezek 18:5 KJV)  But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6  And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9  Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

 

(Psa 53:3 KJV)  Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 

(Gen 3:23 KJV)  Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 

It amazes me still how many persons wrongfully can now only  see one side of God, for they can now  see God as a positive, a   God of love but they wrongfully cannot see the same God also as a Holy, just, negative God who will not at all acquit the guilty.

 

(Job 4:17 KJV)  Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

 

(1 Pet 2:6 KJV)  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

 

(Isa 53:6 KJV)  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 

(Rom 10:11 KJV)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13   For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

(Isa 45:21 KJV)  and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22  Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24  Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.  25  In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

 

(Rom 4:13 KJV)  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15  Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.  16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24  But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 

Many a prophet has seen the holiness of God,

 

(Exo 3:5 KJV)  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

 

(Acts 7:33 KJV)  Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

 

(Isa 6:5 KJV)  Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

 

JESUS HIMSELF MANIFESTS THE TWO SIDES OF GOD TOO.

 

(Deu 32:3 KJV)  Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4   He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

 

(Rev 1:12 KJV)  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

 

(Rev 1:14 KJV)  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

 

(Rev 1:15 KJV)  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

 

(Rev 2:16 KJV)  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

 

(Rev 6:4 KJV)  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

 

(Rev 19:11 KJV)  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17  And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18  That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19  And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 

3: Tips on praying for the week.

 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, continuously, for all of your needs, and those of others

(Luke 21:36 KJV)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

 

God not only instructs us when to pray but what to pray as well and praying once for any item is generally not enough.

 

(Mat 5:44 KJV)  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 

(Mat 6:5 KJV)  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6   But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

 

(Mat 6:7 KJV)  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

 

(Mat 9:38 KJV)  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

 

(Mat 14:23 KJV)  And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray:

 (Luke 6:28 KJV)  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

 

(Luke 11:2 KJV)  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

 

(Luke 18:1 KJV)  And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

 

(Luke 21:36 KJV)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

 

(John 14:16 KJV)  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

 

(John 16:26 KJV)  At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

 

(John 17:9 KJV)  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

 

(John 17:15 KJV)  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

 

(John 17:20 KJV)  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 

(Acts 8:22 KJV)   and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

 

 (Rom 8:26 KJV)  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

 

(1 Cor 14:13 KJV)  Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

 

(1 Cor 14:15 KJV)  What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

 

(2 Cor 13:7 KJV)  Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

 

(Phil 1:9 KJV)  And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

(2 Th 3:1 KJV)  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

 

(1 Tim 2:8 KJV)  I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

 

(2 Tim 4:16 KJV)  At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

 

(Heb 13:18 KJV)  Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

 

(James 5:13 KJV)  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14   Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

 

(James 5:16 KJV)  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

(1 John 5:16 KJV)  If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

 

4: Christian testimony for the week

When two separate beloved persons had recently  told me they had trouble understanding the still future prophecies, the Books of Revelation, Daniel and they had asked me to help them. I really shuddered, for I knew  myself firsthand how much work that would entail to present an honest exposition as well. One cannot just jump into the fire, into these books and hope to understand them without understanding many other issues,  books of the Bible too. Furthermore I myself had some still unresolved issues, unanswered questions regarding these books, and I was not going to lie to anyone next as to what is the real truth as well,  as it seems to may preachers do..

 

It was one of my most cherish dreams to die, even at the age of about 28, for me  to die and go to Heaven and there I would next have the time, the opportunity to finish off a lot of my sermons, to also there  have answered a lot of my questions, points  that I had developed in regard to the Bible, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the  Bible prophecies, etc.  This was due to the fact that  on earth with a family, a job, I really had no time for this. Not very much.  

 

Next I had never at all, never came to mind, expected that God would next give me this opportunity to do such studies, writings firstly here on earth, and that I would even to be able to even share them with you my beloved, and even with many others.

 

When I lost my earthly, wife, my family because of my even poor health, specifically  because of a serious heart condition, God still, still by grace called me into the Ministry at that time, to work for him, and years later God next also let me make the best of this supposedly tragic events, he God also  let me next also to have the time to read His  Word,  to study it, to dwell on it, and to do freely now my once past heavenly desires  still here on earth too.

 

Truly what a great God he is.

 

 I am here often reminded of one of my most favorite books in the Bible,  the book of  Book of Ruth where Naomi  lost by death her husband and two Sons and was left poor with her also now poor and widowed daughter in laws and How God turned things around to be a blessing for Naomi and Ruth, Ruth the great great grandmother of Jesus Christ now as well.  God has done the same for me..

 

(Ruth 1:3 KJV)  And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4  And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5  And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 6  Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread. 7  Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 8  And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. 9  The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 10  And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 11  And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12  Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; 13  Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. 14  And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

 

 I have often even in the evening turned on the TV to watch the news, the programming and I have failed eat my meals, failed even to get back to  the TV set because I was for long hours so involved in my Biblical studies, even  to the wee hours of the morning. Many persons have found me in front of my computer late at night, early in the morning, all day too. And this is also due to your prayers on my behalf.

 

(Rom 8:28 KJV)  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Well recently I have slowly as you may have noticed started a general introductory  biblical exposition of the book of Daniel and Revelation in my devotionals.. under the Holy Spirit leading.. even with some past unresolved questions of my own here. I was recently amazed when I came to some of my own questions, and I hesitated to go on, that God would actually ask me to persist, and even next God he still asks me even to clearly write down what my concerns were.  And God would then systematically lead and start to  answer my own questions in more detail. It fully amazes me as well.. and you get the overall benefits of it all now too.  Thank you for prayers.

 READ ALSO DEBORAH'S TESTIMONY ON HOW GOD GAVE HER THE GIFT OF MUSIC

"In 1992 the Lord asked me to quit my job. I didn't want leave, because I loved it. However, upon leaving the Lord began to give me songs. I did not know how to write songs, so it was amazing to me when the Lord began to give them to me. .... One day I was just playing around on the keyboard and a song started to come. I ran and got my tape recorder to record it. As I played it back I heard a harmony singing throughout the tape. ...no one was there. Since that time, I have heard 'angels' singing with me many times. In fact, one time in the church three-fourths of the congregation heard them singing, and some even saw them as we worshiped. They were loud! Playing instruments and everything. In the past five years the Lord has given me over 200 songs that he has used to touch and heal many people. That is exciting, but more than anything, what is in my heart is to see people bow down and worship the Lord in a deeper way. The Lord opened the door to the holy of holies to me and I discovered a new love for Him. There is a oneness, an intimacy that many believers never find. Jesus is always calling and we are too busy to come closer. This is what is in my heart, to bring people deeper in the Spirit. To commune with the Holy Spirit in oneness and to anoint Jesus with our praise. Just like Mary anointed His feet, we should anoint Him with our worship and praise."

6: Difficult Bible Question answered for the week.

What is the Millenium?

  Still confused about the end times events? Not even sure who to trust in the sea of books, tapes, video  and movies available for cash? It is also amazing how many persons now do loudly  claim to be Biblically accurate as to what  will next supposedly happen during the Millennium but they themselves will not even share freely, openly their supposedly Biblical views, for they tend to want to sell to you  their books  tapes on the subjects quite contrary to the spirit of the New Testament as well.  They all need to repent and to bring fruits worthy of repentance.
 
Firstly what about Tomorrow, what will happen next in God's prophetic calendar according to the New Testament?
 
John 4:21-24  21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.  22 "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.  23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.  24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

 

The Kingdom of God, Christ is in existance already even today.

 

(Mat 28:18 KJV)  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19   Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

(Rom 15:12 KJV)  And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.13   Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

 

Most people who worry about the prophetic future scriptures, are forgetting about the reality, truth that firstly that God has already given us the full power to live in, to livve out his Kingdom today.

 

(Acts 10:38 KJV)  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

 

(Acts 1:8 KJV)  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.

 

(Luke 17:21 KJV)  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

(Rev 1:4 KJV)  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6   And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

 

(Eph 2:4 KJV)  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9   Not of works, lest any man should boast.10   For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

 

(Col 1:12 KJV)  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

 

(Rev 1:9 KJV)  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

(Mat 24:4 KJV)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8   All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:  21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25  Behold, I have told you before. 26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

 

(Mat 13:37 KJV)  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

 

(1 Cor 15:21 KJV)  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24   Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25   For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26   The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27   For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

 

(Gal 3:9 KJV)  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12  And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

 

(Rom 3:23 KJV)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24   Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 

(Rom 8:32 KJV)  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?   33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Heb 10:38 KJV)  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39   But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.  11:1   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2  For by it the elders obtained a good report.

 

 (Luke 18:7 KJV)  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

 

(Luke 18:9 KJV)  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10   Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

 

(Gal 3:14 KJV)  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

 

(1 Cor 15:50 KJV)  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.53   For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

(John 14:27 KJV)  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

(Prov 29:25 KJV)  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 26   Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

 

(Heb 2:9 KJV)  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  10  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11  For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12  Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13  And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18  For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

 

Mark 9:1 And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power."
 
Col. 1:13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son
 
Jesus Kingdom is one of personal power with God and with man..
 
Matthew 26:26-29 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."  7 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;  28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. 29 "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.

 

(Acts 1:11 KJV)  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
 
Rev. 1:7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
 
Mark 13:32 But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
 
Jesus is clearly coming back for all of his own believers, the Church!
 
(Mat 3:7 KJV)  But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
 
The balance of persons will face the wrath of God here on earth.
 
(Luke 3:7 KJV)  Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
 
(1 Th 1:10 KJV)  And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
 
All believers will be delivered from the earthly wrath to come.
 
Matt. 25:31-33  "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.  32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;  33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

 

Christ will next also come back in the clouds,  and next everyone will see him coming back, he will sit on his heavenly throne, and there he will judge judge all persons of all of the nations..
 
(Rev 1:7 KJV)  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
 
(Rev 4:1 KJV)  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
 
(Rev 6:2 KJV)  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
 
2 Thess. 1:5-10   This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.  6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,  7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,  8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.  9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,  10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.
 
1 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
 
Matthew 24:44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

Luke 21:34 Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap
 
Matthew 24:42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

1 Thess. 5:23 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
 
(1 Th 4:13 KJV)  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
 
1 Thess. 5:1-5  Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.  2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.  3 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.  4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;  5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness 
 
Acts 17:30-31   "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,  31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
 
(Rev 20:4 KJV)  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
 
 2 Pet. 3:8-13   But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.  9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.  10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.  11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,  12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!  13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. 
 
Daniel 2: 31-45  "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.  32 "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,  33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.  34 "You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.  35 "Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.  36 "This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king.  37 "You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory;  38 and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.  39 "After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.  40 "Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.  41 "In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay. 42 "As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.  43 "And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.  44 "In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.   45 "Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."
 
(2 Pet 3:10 KJV)  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 
Jeremiah 4:23-26, "I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and lo, THERE WAS NO MAN, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger."
 
Isaiah 24:1-3, "Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priests; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of ursury, so with the giver of ursury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word."
 
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

 

According to these verses there will be time for real safety on this old earth not even for the Jews, and this earth also will be total destroyed before the COMING Millennium?  Is this a serious  conflict, problem for some of the Bible interpreters? Why? Before the Millennium reign earth and it's occupants will be fully  judged, condemned, removed from earth.
 
John 5:28-29  Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,  29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

 

2 Tim. 4:1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom.  2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

Now still how can anyone according to all of this firstly deny that Jesus will again come back in his own real, physical body back to earth to be take back  his saints?
 
1 Tim. 4:1 1But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

2 Tim. 3:1-9  But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.  2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,  3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.  6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak womenweighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,  7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.  9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes' and Jambres' folly was also. 
 
2 Peter 3:1-9  Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,  4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."  5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,  6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.  7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.  8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.  9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 
 
Jude 18 that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.

Due to real personal ignorance of the Bible most Christians do rather accept the words of others, the opinion of mere men as to what they think the Bible says for most Christians have not take to the time to study, have not studied the Bible fully, honestly for themselves yet.
 
They may be familiar with some of the BIBLE PASSAGES passages such as even  ..
 
 Isaiah 40:3-5  A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.  4 "Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley;  5 Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
 This specific prophecy was of course  fulfilled by the preaching of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the work of the Messiah (Matt. 3:1-3; Luke 3:3-6).

 

Isaiah 9:1-2  But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.  2 The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them.

 

This passage was also fulfilled figuratively in the ministry of Jesus according to Matthew:

 

Matthew 4:15-16  THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES--  16 "THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."  17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

 

Genesis 3:15  And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.
 
This above  the first Messianic promise in the Bible, of Jesus Christ himself

John 18:36 My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.
 
Jesus clearly confirms that he did not come to establish a Judaic kingdom

Numbers 24:17, 19, ". . . there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, . . . Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion. . ."

 

Psalm 72:8, 11, "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him."

 

Isaiah 11:10, "And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."

 

Daniel 7:2 7, "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."

 

Isaiah 11:1-2,4-5, "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;. . . with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."

 

Jeremiah 33:15, "in those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."

 

Psalm 72:7, "In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth."

 

Isaiah 52:7, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"

 

Isaiah 9:6-7, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:. . . 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. ."

 

Psalm 28:8, "The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed."

 

Jeremiah 30:9, "But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them."

 

Psalm 89:3, ". . . I have sworn unto David my servant."

 

(Acts 2:25 KJV)  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29  Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34  For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35  Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43  And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44  And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

 

II Samuel 7:8 (I Chronicles 17:7), ". . . say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee. . ."

 

Isaiah 19:20, ". . . for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them."

 

Isaiah 55:3-4, ". . . I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people."

 

Ezekiel 3 7:24-25, "And David my servant shall be king over them;. . . they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 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 prince for ever."

 

Psalm 132:9-12,15,17, "Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David;. . . If thy children will keep my covenant. . . their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. I will abundantly bless her provision. . . There will I make the horn of David to bud. .

 

Jeremiah 23:4-6, "And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord. . . . I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. . ."

 

Jeremiah 33:14, 16, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. ."

 

Psalm 18:50, "Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore."

 

(Gal 3:16 KJV)  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

 

(Gal 3:28 KJV)  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 

Clearly as per the Pentecost in the Book of Acts the church is the anointed ones.. confirmed by their baptism with Holy Spirt and fire.. the fire of persecutions by the unbelieving, rebellious Jewsand gentile  too.

 

Ezekiel 34:23-24, "And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David;. . . And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them. . ."

 

There is and only will be one Shepherd for both the Jews and gentile and it is the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 The people who STILL wrongfully do  try to apply these verses, prophecies as being applicable only to the Jewish persons, and not now the true Israel, the church of God  have clearly now missed the boat..

 

Daniel 7:13-14, ". . . one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, . . . And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

Zechariah 9:9-10, ". . . thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, . . . and he shall speak peace unto the heathen; and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth."

God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit  alone will fully fulfill also  both of these latter prophecies.

John 9:39-41  And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."  40 Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?" 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

Acts 20:28-30  Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.  29 "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

 

Philippians 3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision

 

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

 

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.(2 Tim.2:15)

 

1 Tim. 4:13 Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

 

 1 Tim. 4:16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

 

 1 Tim. 6:3   If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,  5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

 

 2 Tim. 3:16-17  All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
 
2 Tim. 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
 
2 Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires

 

 Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

 

 Titus 2:1 But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

 

 Titus 2:7 in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine,dignified

 

 Galatians 1:6-9  I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;  7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.   But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!  9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

 

 Matt. 15:6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

 

Mark 7:13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."

 

 Rev. 1:9 I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

 

 2 Thess. 1:5 This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

 

 Matthew 16:18-19  "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.  19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

 

Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

 

Acts 2:1-4 1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.  2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

 

Acts 2:29-36  29 "Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.  30 "And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE,  31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.  32 "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.  33 "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.  34 "For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says: 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,  35 UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET."'  36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified."

 

Romans 1:16-18  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.  17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."  18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

 

 1 Cor. 15:24-28  then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.  25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.  26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.  27 For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.  28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
 
1 Tim. 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

 

 2 Thess. 2:14-15  It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

 

2 Tim. 3:13 But evil men and impostors ( NOT ALL PERSONS) will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
 
Acts 2:16-23 16 but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:  17 'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;  18 EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.  19 'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.  20 'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.  21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'  22 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--  23 this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.  2 Thess 2:1-15  Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,  2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.  3  Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,  4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.  5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?  6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.  7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.  8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;  9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,  10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.  11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,  12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.  13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.  14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.
 
1 John 2:18-19  Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.  19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

 

1 John 2:22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

2 John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

 

Revelation 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

 

2 Thess. 3:10-13  For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.  11 For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.  12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.  13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good. ...  continued.
                               
 (Rev 20:1 KJV)  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,  3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  5  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 

(1 Cor 15:21 KJV)  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23   But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 

Clearly the Bible here teaches that  there are separate, multiple resurrections of groups of persons, .. This is important to realize..

 During the Millennium the resurrected Christians too will have their real physical bodies.

 

NOW AS TO THE BASIC TENETS OF PREMILLENNIALISM held by some CHRISTIANS ONLY.. They are not all backed by the New Testament.

1. The kingdom of God is not fully established now in the world. Christ came to establish His spiritual kingdom firstly among the Jews  but He was predictably rejected, therefore He is coming back again to the old earth?  and why to re establish His exemplary earthly kingdom on earth amongst both Jews and gentile? An earthly Kingdom totally free of Satan's control.

2. The purpose for the church age  is not soley  to present the gospel to convert the world to Christianity, but rather to preach the gospel as a witness to the nations and to warn them of the judgment to come. As the gospel is preached God gathers out of all the nations His elect, His saints, into the church.

3. The world is growing worse and will continue to grow worse until Christ comes to establish His kingdom on earth?? But Jesus said that we are to daily pray that God 's kingdom still come's now on earth daily.

4 Immediately preceding the second coming there is to be a period of general apostasy and wickedness?? Some Christians do believe on the contrary there there will be a revival, that Holy spirit filled, anointed Christains will do great exploits.

5. The last, the 7 th  church age is nearly over. The coming of Christ is near. Most Premillennialists predict that it will occur at or near the year 2000???? No one can specualtate like that still.

6. When Christ first returns all of the righteous dead of all ages will be raised in the first resurrection to meet Christ in the air and to be taken to Heaven to the marriage feast of the lamb.. Although there has been a first fruit resurrection of saints at the time of Christ's death and his past descent to hell, sheol to set the captives there free.

7. Those balance raised from the dead will be joined by God's transfigured saints (living church members) and caught up in the air to meet the Lord in the air. Some Premillennialists say that this is the rapture and that it will last for 7 years, during which time there will be tribulation on earth. I have no doubt that a rapture will occur where one group is taken up and the other is left behind. The parable of the wise and foolish virgin clearly illustrates this.

8. After this period, the judgment of the righteous takes place. This judgment consists primarily in the assignment of rewards.???

9. Just before, and some say during the tribulation period, the remaining Jews are to be restored fully even to to the land of Palestine. Premillennialists insist that the Jews have never received on earth all of the land promises given to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-4?There is still no New Testament support of this.

10. After firstly much personal tribulations, at the mere sight of the Messiah, all of the remnant, remaining Jews will  turn to Him, Jesus Christ  in a national conversion and true repentance?

(Isa 10:22 KJV)  For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

 

(Isa 10:21 KJV)  The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

 

(Micah 5:3 KJV)  Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.

 

(Hosea 14:7 KJV)  They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

 

(Jer 22:10 KJV)  Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

 

(Jer 30:10 KJV)  Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

 

(Jer 31:8 KJV)  Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

 

(Jer 46:27 KJV)  But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11. At His next coming Christ destroys the Antichrist and all of his forces in the great battle of Armageddon.  There seems to be some question here if the battle occurs at the end or before the beginning of the Millennium period rightly..

(Oba 1:15 KJV)  For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

 

(Micah 1:7 KJV)  And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

12. After Christ coming Christ establishes His kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital, in which He and the resurrected and transfigured saints rule the whole world for a thousand years in righteousness, peace, and great prosperity.  The New Jerusalem shall also be part of the new earth, the Millennium period.

(Isa 35:10 KJV)  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

 

(Isa 51:11 KJV)  Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

 

(Jer 24:7 KJV)  And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

13. During this literal thousand years the city of Jerusalem will be supposedly rebuilt, even the temple will be supposedly rebuilt, and the feasts and fasts and priesthood of the Old Covenant will be reinstituted, along with the sacrificial system of offerings?????  This is clearly contrary to the New testament and the finished work of God... and there is no New Testament support for any of this.

 Heb, 7:27  who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

Heb. 9:12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Heb. 9:26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Heb. 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

Heb. 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

14. This thousand year period of time is to be characterized by the removal of the demonic curse on the  nature as well so that the desert will blossom with every kind of plant imaginable, and the wild and ferocious nature of all animals will be mannered, changed.

15. During this thousand years great numbers of Gentiles and Jews  will be born on earth  and they also will turn to God.

16. Not everyone will be converted to Christ, some persons till will remain rebellious at heart. These will not be destroyed but held in check by the rod-of-iron rule of Christ.
 
17. During this literal thousand years Satan is to be bound and cast into hell (or the pit) and he and his followers are kept away from the earth.

18. At the end of the literal thousand years Satan will be released from his pit (loosed) for a short time. There will be a violent outbreak of wickedness and rebellion which all but overwhelms the saints and the holy city of Jerusalem.  Mankind will be allowed the personal  freedom of choice to chose directly God, Heaven or sin and hell.

19. After this all of the forces of wickedness are to be destroyed by fire which is cast down upon them from heaven and they are cast frover into the lake of fire, hell.

20. There is now a second resurrection in which all of the past wicked dead of all ages are judged and still sent to hell along with Satan and his angels.

21. Eternity begins with a new slate (forallof  the redeemed) and a new hell for the wicked.

Revelation 20:1-7  1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.  2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;  3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.  4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.  5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.  7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,

Note that that Revelation 20:
Does not mention specifally a reign on the old earth by Christ.
Doies not specifally mention an earthly temple.

The Bible never places Christ back on on the old earth ?
Does not mention a bodily resurrection of all unbelievers?
Does not mention the specific nature of the reign of Christ.
Does not mention the throne of David specifically.
Does not mention Jerusalem, Israel  or Palestine specificaly.

BUT
Christians are kings and priests now - Revelation 5:10, 1 Peter 2:9
Christians reign in life through righteousness - Romans 5:17, 12:1f; Col. 3:1f
Christians reign with the apostles - 1 Corinthians 4:8
Christians reign by enduring  Timothy 2:12; Revelation 2:10-11
Christians reign by overcoming - Revelation 3:21
The church itself is the repalcement of Israel today.

Genesis 12:1-3  1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you;  2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;  3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

Genesis 12:7  The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.

The land promise was made to Abraham - Gen. 12:7; 13:14-16; 15:7.
This was the land of Canaan - Genesis chapter 15
The land promise was extended - Gen. 15:18; Exodus 23:31
The first promises was fulfilled - Joshua 21:43-45
The extended land promise was fulfilled - 2 Chronicles 9:26-27; 2 Samuel 8:3; 1Kings 4:20-21
The keeping of the land was conditional - 1 Kings 9:4-7; 2 Kings 21:8; 2 Chronicles 33:8
When the Jews disobeyed God they forfeited the right to the land - Malachi 1:6; 3:7

 "I will make your descendants as many as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore... All the nations of the world shall bless themselves by your descendants, as a reward for your obedience." (Gen.22:17-18).

This last above verse of Scripture now  has already come to pass through Abraham and through his seed Jesus Christ, the Church.. (Heb 2:16 KJV)  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.(Gal 3:16 KJV)  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.  (Gal 3:19 KJV)  Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Gal 3:29 KJV)  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.  (2 Tim 2:8 KJV)  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

Some persons  will now still try to tell us God is now supposedly returning the Jews to Israel now,  and yet that the current state of Israel is not prophecied nor ordained by God in the New testament not even by Jesus or any of the Apostles.  If God is not building up the current Israel, then who is? This is all still a work of men.  Deuteronomy 30:1-10 concludes that God will only return Jews to Israel after they are saved. But they add their own thoughts to Scripture.

(Deu 30:1 KJV)  And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2  And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I  command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3  That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 4  If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5  And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6  And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7  And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8  And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9  And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10  If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Now matter what the present return is clearly the Jews will still be again still dispersed from their land even according to the Old Testament as well.  (Dan 12:7 KJV)  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

(Amos 5:18 KJV)  Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20   Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

(Jer 8:15 KJV)  We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!  (Jer 8:19 KJV)  Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? 20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

(Psa 74:1 KJV) O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?  2  Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 4  Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 5  A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 6  But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 7  They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 8  They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 9  We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 10  O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 11  Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 12  For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. 16  The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. 18  Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 19  O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 20  Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21  O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 22  Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. 23  Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Jeremiah 4:23-26, "I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and lo, THERE WAS NO MAN, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger."

Isaiah 24:1-3, "Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priests; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of ursury, so with the giver of ursury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word."

But what still is the supposed truths, support also  as to what will also happen next in the Millennium any better, more honest, Biblically correct as well?

(1 Pet 3:22 KJV)  (Jesus) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

(Psa 2:7 KJV)  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8   Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Isa 2:4 KJV)  And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.(Jer 31:34 KJV)  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 4:2 KJV)  And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3  And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 4   But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.  (Micah 4:7 KJV)  And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. 8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.  The glory of the Lord shall fill the earth, as the waters cover the sea.

"But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord,"  Numbers 14:21. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea," Habakkuk 2:14.  "For evil doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace," Psalms 37:9-11.

(Isa 65:18 KJV)   But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20  There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21  And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22  They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of 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 shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. (Isa 11:6 KJV)  The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8  And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

The word Millennium signifies a thousand years. The popular view of what is called the temporal millennium is that Jesus Christ will  reign with all of his people, the church  directly here on earth.  He will reign over both of the godly and the still ungoldy persons there as well, and that at the close of the millennium he will come again the third  time and this will be the time when the final judgment of all the dead and the living will take place and when God will create the new heavens and the new earth.

(Rev 20:1 KJV)  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  5  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.  6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

These are almost all of the sole New Testament verses that are written about the Millennium. It is very difficult to apply mnay of the suppsoedly Old Testament verses to this period, cause many of the verses supposedly being applicable by some have already  been clearly fulfilled in past History and thus really are not applicable to the future still again?

Paul also prophesied that the salvation of the remnant of the Jews  will happen when the "full number of the Gentiles has come in" and when the "deliverer will come from Zion." Of course, this refers to events after Christ's second advent,  after God first deals with his rebellious people..

 

(Jer 1:14 KJV)  Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15  For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. 16  And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands...

 

(Joel 3:9 KJV)  Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:10  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.11   Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.12   Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.  and also after He destroys the armies of the beast  and the millennium begins.  "On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against [Judah and  Jerusalem]..."  (Zechariah 12:3, NIV). This event precipitates the second advent of Jesus. "On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a Spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son" (Zechariah 12:9-10, NIV).

 

and what happens at the end of the Millenium still?

(2 Pet 3:7 KJV)  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive all the nations in the four quarters of the earth... and mobilize them for war."  Revelations 20:7-8

(Rev 20:5 KJV)  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.  6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

(2 Pet 1:11 KJV)  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

(Rev 21:1 KJV)  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

(2 Pet 3:11 KJV)  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
