The 1,000 Year Reign Of Christ - Part Four

Our messages about the 1,000 Year Reign Of Christ illustrated the major theme of Jehovah God being the God of Restoration. We have learned during Christ's Reign God will restore:

His Presence Among His People

True Peace On Earth

The Total Land Given To His Chosen People

The message this week will concentrate on the Restoration of the Jewish people as a Blessing to the world. Genesis 12:2,3 shows God speaking to Abraham, "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing . . . and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." These verses are a prophetic word in which God is saying to Abraham that your descendants will become a nation that will be a "Blessing To All Families Of The Earth." This Word from God has happened somewhat but not to the degree planned by Jehovah God.

However, during the Reign Of Christ this desire of God will take place. God's love and favor for His Chosen People will be recognized by all the nations of the earth. Zechariah 8:22,23 says, "Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek The Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before The Lord. Thus says The Lord of Hosts: 'In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'" God's Chosen People will be teachers and proclaimers of His Word and nations will come to Jerusalem to learn.

At least two of God's Feasts will be celebrated during the Reign Of Christ. Zechariah 14:16,17 says, "And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship The King, The Lord Of Hosts and to keep the Feast Of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the family of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship The King, The Lord Of Hosts, on them there will be no rain."

Notice the importance God places on keeping His Feasts. There will be no rain for those who do not keep the Feast Of Tabernacles. It is also believed Passover will be observed during the Reign Of Christ. 

WE SERVE A GOD OF RESTORATION . . . BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!

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