The Lord's Day, The Millennium Begins, 1000 Years of Teaching "God's Word"

 What Is the Millennium?
 
1000 years, means Millennium.
 
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
 
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 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.
 
Hebrew 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
 
No more reference now to His first coming in humiliation. No more coming "forth" to suffer and die, a sacrifice for sins; the reference now is only to His second coming in glory.
 
His coming "unto" this earth is not to suffer for sin, but it will be a coming in power to judge the earth in righteousness, and to subdue all enemies under His feet.
 
Let's go to the 6th trumpet: What happens at the end of this earth age, just before the Lord's Day?
 
Revelation 11:7 And when they (two witnesses) shall have finished their testimony, the beast (Satan) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them (two witnesses), and shall overcome them, and kill them (two witnesses).
  • The Two witnesses finish their testimony
  • Satan shall make war against them
  • Satan shall overcome them and kill them
  • What did God said in verse 5?
  • Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
8 And their (two witnesses) dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
  • The Greek word for ''street'' here is ''plaeia'' (4113), meaning a wide place or square.
  • They will be killed in this square with plenty of room along the sides for people to observe.
  • Do you think we are talking of Sodom and Gomorrah?
  • This is Jerusalem where Christ was crucified.
  • The two witnesses will be killed in the same place, Because they will not accept the false christ
  • They will say, this false one is not our Christ
  • But the Kenites will use the same old story that Christ did not rise from the dead, But was stolen from the tomb.
  • Then we can readily see that the Kenites will tell the two witnesses that they can take His place.
  • At that time they will kill the witnesses
  • The Kenites will make sure that the bodies of the two witnesses will not be stolen away.
  • I think that there will be TV cameras and everything else that will sound an alarm if anyone even gets close to these bodies.
9 And they of the (all) people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
  •  3 1/2 days before Christ returns!!!!!
  • The people and kindreds and tongues and nations, Shall see their dead bodies
  • Three days and an half days, And shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
  • Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.
  • Remember back in Revelation 9 where the locusts tormented those that had not the seal of God in their forehead?
  • These two witnesses will torment the world in a different way.
  • The world will not be able to completely and utterly satisfy itself that this false one they are worshipping is the true Messiah as long as these two speak with such great wisdom against him.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
  • After 3 1/2 days!!!!
  • In the Greek this word ''fear'' is ''phobos'' (5401)
  • It will be a paralyzing fear beyond anything that can be described by man
  • When these two bodies gloriously, with the Shekinah glory covering them, rise up from the dust to meet Jesus.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
  • This is the only rapture there is ever going to be as far as we're concerned in the last days; The two witnesses.
  • The so-called rapture that the church is waiting for will not come to pass
  • We all know what Paul said about this in  2 Thessalonians 2 , when he said that Jesus Christ would not return until after the false christ appears.
  • The word rapture is not even mentioned in the word of God
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
  • Jude 1:6 Satan's angels from Noah flood
  • 7th vial = Earth quakes = Satan's angels are killed
  • It's strange that the false christ's side has the equivalent number of our 7000 brought out here?
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
 
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
  • 7th trumpet sounded = The Lord's day = Christ shall reign for ever and ever
  • The seventh angel that sounds the seventh trumpet in this verse, continues to sound through Revelation 20:15
  • Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
  • Mary means = a tear = was a virgin
  • Mary's mother was of the tribe of Levi, of the priest line
  • Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barrel.
  • Espoused = betrothed
  • A year before marriage, Matthew 1:18
  • Luke 3: Mary father was of the house of David, The tribe of Judah
  • Joseph was of the house of David, The tribe of Judah
  • Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
    17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
  • Jesus = King of Kings and Lord of Lords
  • King line = Judah
  • Priest line = Levi
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
  • 3rd woe = God's cup of wrath poured out
  • The Greek word for ''destroyer'' used here is ''diaph'', meaning ''to corrupt''.
  • Dead = spiritual dead
  • People that are spiritual dead to God's word will be judged
  • The saints are with the Lord
  • Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. \
  • 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
  • Revelation 20:6 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.
  • The beginning of the Millennium, God's elect are with the Lord
  • Joshua 13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
We are in the millennium = The Lord's Day = first resurrection = Revelation 20 = All will be taught God's word and see God face to face = Ezekiel 44:12-13 the 144,000 will be in the millennium temple BUT they can not come near the Lord.
 
Ezekiel 11:14 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
  •  I will even gather you from the people
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.

22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
 
  • I will leave a remnant that shall escape = those that teach God's Word
Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
 
Ezekiel 6:1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
 
4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
  • God not happen with Israel and the false teacher
  • Hosea 3:4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
    5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
  • Hosea 4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth–aven, nor swear, The Lord liveth.
    16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
    17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
  • Hosea 5:3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
  • Hosea 5:9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
    10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
    11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
    12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
    13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
  • Hosea 8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
    3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
    4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
    5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
  • Hosea 8:14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
  • Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
    26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
    27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins
    .
  • Jeremiah 36:3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
  • Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
  • Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
  • Jeremiah 24:7  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.
    8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt.
5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
  • Your cities shall be laid waste
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
 
Ezekiel 6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
  • I will leave a remnant that shall escape = those that teach God's Word
  • Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
    5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Ezekiel 44:10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
  • The 144,000 that have bowed a knee to Satan, and because of this iniquity they are given charge of the Lord's house and shall minister to the people, but they may not come near to the Lord.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
  • They shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
  • Caused = were to the house of Israel for a stumbling block of iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
  • They shall not come near unto Me = This is to be the punishment to 144,000.
  • Only the overcomes, God's elect can come near to the Lord
  • Revelation 20:6 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.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
  • The 144,000, cannot minister unto the Lord.
Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
  • Good reading Romans 11 and Romans 8
  • Zadok: In Hebrew means sons of the just
  • It is repeated that the son of Zadok, the 7,000 shall minister unto the Lord.
  • Revelation 20:6 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
Isaiah 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
  • This daughter is symbolic of the remnant.
  • He will always protect her.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
 
Once the 5th trumpet sounds there will be no more truth meaning all will be sealed with God's word
 
I believe the 7,000 and the nations (all races) that know God's Plan will be with the two witnesses (Zechariah 4)
 
The 144,000 = Spiritual Dead = when Israel went astray = until the 7,000 are delivered up
 
The 7000 will bring the 144,000 and in time the whole world, out of Babel.
 
Babel = confusion
 
Isaiah 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
  • This daughter is symbolic of the remnant.
  • He will always protect her.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
 
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
 
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
 
Note the three subjects thus connected with "the time of Death of the flesh"
 
(1). Sleep indicates death of the flesh body: Notice he said, "many sleep of dust of the earth" means, these have already died and they're already with God.
 
(2.) Sleep indicates everlasting life = At The 7th Trumpet All Will Be Changed Into Their Own Spiritually Body: Notice "Some to everlasting life", means, This happens at the last trumpet, after Satan's tribulation, some waited on the Lord, these did not worship Satan...These are the over comers singing the song of Moses, they are resurrected to Immortality (deathlessness) soul, alive with Christ. Those that worshipped Satan will keep their mortal soul, which means liable to die.
 
3.) Spiritual Dead Notice "Some to shame", these followed or worshipped Satan and they are alive at the last trumpet, means these are spiritual dead to God's word, and will keep their mortal soul (liable to die) until after the millennium.
 
Some to shame =  The 7,000 will seal the 144,000 with God's Truth, BUT they don't believe it's the truth, until the 7,000 are deliver up and God speaks through them
 
Notice God gave Israel a bill of divorce
 
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
 
2 Corinthians 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3 But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
 
Revelation 14 = The Vision is in heaven; for the singers stand before the Throne, and they are with the Lamb.
 
He is not yet descended to the Earth.
 
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
 
The elect are called out of the body of Israel = Levities priests
 
They will remain virgins until their husband comes and arrives.
 
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Jesus, to show unto his servants that which must come to pass; and he signified it sending by his angel to his servant John; who attested the Word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things he saw.
 
Blessed he who readeth, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and observe the things which are written in it: for the time is near.
 
Christ uses symbolize like insects, water, wind, trees, animals, horses, seasons, all of the nature itself, to relate something to you, because you can identify with the things you can see.
 
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
 
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
 
 
 
 
 
Exactly 2520 years from the exile of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
 
  The first tribe to be conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
