The 1,000 Year Reign Of Christ - Part Two

We started a new series last week and learned when the 1,000 Year Reign Of Jesus Christ starts after the Tribulation Period there will be True Peace on earth and Jehovah God will live among His People. This week we will look at how and why Jesus is entitled to reign on earth.

Even before Jesus was born there were prophetic messages predicting that He will rule and reign not only over Israel but over the whole earth. Isaiah 9:6 says, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder." Additionally, Luke 1:30-33 says, "Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there will be no end.'" These verses illustrate that the day is coming  when the government of the world will be on the shoulders of Jesus.

How is Jesus entitled to rule the whole world? God ordained it plus Jesus is in the lineage of Abraham and King David. In fact, when we look at the genealogy of Jesus as outlined in Matthew Chapter one we learn Jesus is the Son of David and the Son of Abraham. Jehovah God says to Abraham in Genesis 17:6 "I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of You and kings shall come from You." God was saying kings will come through Abraham - David and Jesus.

In closing, we will look at how Jehovah God places Jesus on the Throne of David. Jehovah God said about Jesus in Matthew 22:44, "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." As a result, Jesus has been sitting at God's Right Hand ever since ever interceding for all the saints. {Hebrews 7:25.} 

We have learned  previously that Jesus arrives on a White Horse and defeats Satan and his armies during the Battle of Armageddon. {Revelation19:11-16.} On His robe is written: KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. JESUS WILL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH DURING HIS 1,000 YEAR REIGN!

The 1,000 Year Reign Of Christ

Last week's message highlighted the end of the Tribulation Period when the following events will take place: {Revelation Chapters 19, 20}

Jesus physically comes back to earth and wins the Battle Of Armageddon 

Jesus casts the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet into the Lake of Fire

Jesus binds Satan into the Bottomless Pit for a 1,000 years 

Once the Battle of Armageddon is finished, Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. It is believed Jesus will come back to the same location on the Mount of Olives from which He ascended to Heaven as described in Acts 1:11.

Why will the 1,000 year reign of Christ take place? This glorious event is the fulfillment of a number of prophetic scriptures that promise true peace on earth. Isaiah 2:2-4 says, "Now this shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, 'come, let us go up to the mountain of The Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.' He shall judge between the nations and shall rebuke many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation." There will be total peace on earth! Hallelujah!

Additionally, Jehovah God will live among His people just as it was in the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 37:26-28 says, "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, The Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore."

Next week's message will show how Jesus was born to be the Savior Of The World but also to Rule And Reign over all the nations of the world for 1,000 years. Bless His Holy Name.

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,

The Future Of Israel - Part Ten

In this last message about The Future Of Israel we will learn about Jesus physically coming back to earth and in the process destroying the Anti-Christ and his armies. Jehovah God has been in control from Creation to this current day. Hallelujah!

We learned in one of our earlier messages that the Anti-Christ will be identified shortly after the Rapture of the Church. He will then establish a supposed Peace Treaty with Israel allowing them to build their third Temple in Jerusalem. However, this is a massive deception! The Anti-Christ has no intention of functioning in "Peace" with Israel. His goal is to destroy Israel and set up his empire in the whole world.

After three and a half years or half way through the Tribulation Period, the Anti-Christ will break his treaty with Israel and take control of Jerusalem establishing the throne of his evil empire in the Jewish temple demanding all people worship him as God. This is called the "Abomination Of Desolation."

At the end of the seven year Tribulation Period, the Anti-Christ will attempt to get control of the world during the Battle Of Armageddon most likely to be the largest war in history. Zechariah 12:2,3 says, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it." 

Suddenly "Then I saw Heaven open, and behold a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True and in righteousness He judges and makes war. And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. . . And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords." {Revelation 19:11,14-16}

Jesus returns to Jerusalem on the Mount Of Olives setting up His Earthly Kingdom. The Anti-Christ and the False Prophet are thrown in the Lake Of Fire and Satan is bound for 1,000 years. What A Mighty God We Serve! 

Next week we will start a new series of messages about the Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ.

My The Lord Bless And Keep You In His Loving Hands,

The Future Of Israel - Part Nine

In our last two messages we learned about the Rapture Of The Church plus a seven year timeframe called The Tribulation Period in which the Anti-Christ is identified with the purpose of destroying Israel and controlling the world. In this week's message we will explain why Jehovah God would allow this time of darkness and difficulty on earth to include the pouring out of His Wrath.

Our primary message this week will be to determine why Jehovah God will pour out His Wrath on those living during the first half of The Tribulation Period. His Wrath is described as Seal Judgements, Trumpet Judgements and Bowl Judgements as described in the early chapters of the Book of Revelation.

Why will a loving God pour out His Wrath on a portion of His Creation? We must first realize this is NOT the desire of our God who placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden that was Heaven on Earth with no sin. Jehovah God gave Adam and Eve free will and by disobeying Him they brought sin into the world.

Ever since the failure of Adam and Eve, God has desired for all people to be brought back to Him by receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He sent His Son to earth to die on a cross providing a way for all of our sins to be forgiven and to then spend eternity with Jesus.

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." God Desires For All People To Be Saved! If all people were saved He would not pour out His Wrath! All people currently living on earth have the opportunity to be saved meaning they will take part in The Rapture and not experience The Tribulation.

Do You Desire To Be "Saved" Today?

 Please Pray This Prayer

 Jesus, I know I am a sinner,

 Please forgive me of all my sins,

 I believe in my heart and 

Confess with my mouth

 That Jesus is Lord and

 God raised Him from the dead,

 Because of this I am "Saved"

May The Lord Bless And Keep You Today And Everyday,
