How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m correctly quoting? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.
This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52
I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the point being made, rather than leave the reader to figure it out on their own. Unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version which exists in the Public Domain.
How This Article Came About
This was a revelation to me from God as I struggled to understand the seven vials of judgment in the Book of Revelation. I said in my article about the Trinity that I would write an article about the revelation that God has given me about the millennial kingdom of 1,000 years at a later date. The harvest of man is much greater in God’s plan than in man’s current interpretation of it in the book of Revelation. I consider this revelation to be the blessing God promised for studying the Book of Revelation. In my last article about why God destroyed the Tabernacle at Shiloh, I spilled the beans so I will copy that text with some edits here just to be sure it’s called out in a separate article. Some will read one and not the other.
What Happens In the Millennial Kingdom?
You need a good understanding of New Testament, Genesis, Revelation, Deuteronomy, and Proverbs to know how this is pulled together. But once you see it, it’s so obvious.
It has taken 1,000 years to create 8-9 billion people on the earth since Medieval times, even with wars, famine, disease, violence, and drugs. In the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth called the Millennial Kingdom, Satan will be locked in the Pit, so there will be no temptation for the humans that remain after The Wrath. Once again they will go forth and multiply across the face of the earth. Each couple will potentially have more than 1,000 children including multiple births because there will be no death or disease and the Tree of Life will be available for food and medicine.
Any birth defects from the Fall will be healed by the servants of God or Jesus himself. It will be like the time of Adam, everyone living very long lives, and having many sons and daughters. Scientists have estimated that the earth as we know it could easily accommodate 100 billion people. Jesus will solve the inability of man to provide for the poor because he will overcome greed and the hardness of man’s heart.
At the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be loosed again to tempt humanity, and those who did not learn to repent and become sanctified will fail the test and they will go into the pit with Satan forever. Becoming sanctified is the putting on of the armor of God to become invincible against the enemy. It’s what it means to come through the furnace as pure gold all dross left behind, incorruptible. Those that stand the test will be glorified the same as we will be glorified at the rapture, that’s what Paul meant when he said we’d be changed in the twinkling of an eye before we go up.
I’ve seen Jesus, not as a kind human but in his glorified state at the throne. He’s all gold, skin and clothes and that giant belt John mentioned, with black hair pulled back severely into a small short queue and a neatly trimmed black beard that is close to his chin. He will rule visibly in Jerusalem and that’s how they will see him. A mighty king in his father’s glory. The one thing I realized is that the OT Prophets never described him even though they all saw him many times; I have concluded that they feared the people would make golden idols again against God’s command. Jesus said if you have a pure heart you will see God. He keeps his promise to those who become sanctified.
At Mount Sinai God hid himself because the people said they didn’t want to see or hear him because he terrorized them. He said he would send another like Moses to speak his words in the future. So Jesus came just as the Jews were removing the Torah, replacing it with their religious text called the Talmud. The Talmud is not of God, Luke 11:52. The abominations of Kabbalah and Baal worship inside the walls around Jerusalem sent them into Babylonian captivity. And still today the Rabbis in Jerusalem issue death threats to certain bible college founders because they teach how to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation.
God has established a progressive revelation through the generations and the last round is to remove the Tempter while Jesus is reigning on earth, and provide millions of glorified teachers, the order of Melchizedek, the glorified Christians who will be kings and priests, with visible Holy Angels as civil law enforcement. Those humans will be born under the Law, fallen, they will still need to repent and ask for salvation, be water baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit baptism, and they will need to learn how to become holy through the sanctification process. God’s word is settled in heaven and he changes not. All must come to him the same way.
Only those who have been changed and made into a new creation with their minds renewed standing in the power of God through the Holy Spirit Baptism will stand the test when Satan is let out of the pit. The Jews had it the hardest without the Cross, this is why they will inherit the Government of God. The Christians stand by Faith only with the gifts and baptism of the Spirit, our promises are better, but we are told we must overcome to the end of our lives on the battlefield.
Humans in the Millennial Kingdom will have 100% of the knowledge taught to them, and they will see everything visibly. If they still refuse to be sanctified, like the generation left to die in the wilderness (Ezekiel Chapter 20), it’s their own choice. The glorified teachers will help them say prayers to rid themselves of sin and teach them to read the Bible and counsel them through the sin problems of the flesh.
Sin will not have dominion over them with Satan locked up, but in their fallen flesh with the lusts of the flesh, they will sin, and will still need to repent, the same as we come to Christ today and follow him down the narrow way, the path of sanctification. Their help will include not only our better promises but glorified teachers and angels to instruct them, and they will visibly see Jesus Christ on the throne in Jerusalem ruling over the nations.
Man is without excuse, Romans 1:20. In that day all the invisible things will be clearly seen. The animal sacrifices will remind them of the punishment that is due to them that Jesus bore for them.
The Millennial Kingdom will be the time for Jesus to tend his sheep and multiply the flocks throughout the world, before the war of Armageddon breaks out. In the church age he is selecting his servants, but the enormous harvest will come during the Millennial Kingdom.
Isaiah 29:24
“These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding,
And those who complained will learn doctrine.”
Come Lord Jesus, Amen
