THE 1000 YEAR MILLENNIUM - Part 1

Introduction

A Millennium is a period of one thousand years. How long the earth has been in existence we cannot say but the book of Genesis 4:2 tells us the earth and the heavens existed for generations before Adam was created. Gen 1:26- 31 makes us
know that God created man on the sixth day and 2 Peter 3:18 tells us that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years. Scientists agree that man has been on this earth for more than six thousands years and know that this civilization is about to come to an end.

I will like to quote from the writings of one of the ancient writers named Irenaeus  -
"For in so many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded.... And God brought to a conclusion on the sixth day the works he had made". 
In six days created things completed; it is evident they will come to an end at the sixth thousandth year(entering Millennium). Just as on the seventh day God rested from all he had created. The seventh day (2Peter 3:18) being the period of the millennium.


The Millennium 

We shall go back a little into the period of time associated with the great tribulation to understand the time period between the battle of Armageddon and the Millenium. The book of Daniel 9:27 made us to understand that the Antichrist was going to make a Convenant with the nation of Isreal and many nations for a week( seven years) to guarantee their safety. This convenant marks the beginning of the last seven years that leads to Armageddon. At the middle of this seven years (three and a half years) the rapture takes place and we are left with the remaining three and a half years of great tribulation.
Read Rev 12:5-6.

The books of Rev 12:6 tells us the period of time for which the remnant of the woman's seed(tribulation saints)were being persecuted is 'a thousand two hundred and sixty days'. This time period is the same as the period of 42 months (thirty days to a month) spoken of in Rev 11:2.

Let's read Daniel 12:11-12
[11]And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
[12]Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

We can see two time periods; 1290 and 1335 days.
When is the daily sacrifice taken away and the abomination of desolation set up?
These two things mark the beginning of the great tribulation. The difference between 1290 days and 1260 days is 30 days, this 30 days is the cleansing period, probably of the temple Or of themselves and there we have the 1290 days. The 1335 day period is just 45 days from the 1290 days and this serves as a waiting period to the beginning of the Millennium. So from the time period of the great tribulation which is about 1260 days(42 months) to the start of the Millennium is a period of 75 days. As Dan 12:11 said, blessed is he that waited till that period. At the end of this great tribulation prior to the beginning of the Millennium is when they are blessed and God comes to them.
Anyone that witnesses that return of Christ is surely blessed.


What Happens at the Beginning of Millennium

(1) I will like to begin with what happens to Jerusalem. Let's look at Micah 4:1-2
Micah 4:1-2
[1]But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
[2]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.

God reestablishes Jerusalem as the religious attraction of the world and all nations go there to worship him. God will restore the glory of Jerusalem. The significance of Jerusalem to the world, as the place where God chose to dwell. Zech 8:3 tells us Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. God will restore it to been the spiritual attraction of the world, the scripture above says all nations will flow to it. The place of his habitation, place of his holy mountain, dwelling etc.

The original plan of God was for the Israelites to be the ones to teach the nations the Commandments of God (Exodus 19:6, Deut 14:2) and that eventually happens at the Millennium. In fact at this time the Jew becomes about the most favored man on earth (Zech 8:23). Also as the scripture above says, the Law shall go forth out of Zion, and the word of the lord from Jerusalem. Jesus returns to be the king of not only Jerusalem but of the whole earth, Zech 14:9. The same king the Israelites once rejected in 1 Samuel 8:7 and he begins to rule the earth from Jerusalem.

(2) Zech 14:20
"In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD(JESUS), and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 

This takes into view a temple; the Millennium temple in Rev 11:2 & Ezek 43:3-7. It also speaks of the worship of Jesus being restored.
Dan 9:24 spoke about a period of seventy weeks( 7 years to a week) for six things to happened;
* To finish the transgression,
* To make an end of sins,
* To make reconciliation for iniquity,
* To bring in everlasting righteousness,
* To seal up the vision and prophecy, and
* To anoint the most Holy.

To finish the transgression
Isreal had transgressed throughout their long history and finally it climaxed in the crucifixion and rejection of the Messiah. Matt 23:32.

To make an end of sins
The death of Christ was the one perfect sacrifice of sin forever. Hebs 10:12.

To make reconciliations for iniquity
This also took place and was accomplished at the cross.  2 Cor 5:18, Eph 2:16.

To bring in everlasting righteousness
The Sun of Righteousness to shine, watch. In the plan of redemption, Christ also became our righteousness. Christ Jesus, who of God us made unto us righteousness.  I Cor 1:30.

To seal up the vision and prophecy
The sealing of the word of God to the Jews was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet. This was sealed up and they didn't understand it. Isaiah 29:9&14. This event took place at the crucifixion and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.The sixth of those events happens at the end of the Daniel seventieth week, after the Armageddon.

The anointing of the most holy
This is speaking about the Millennium temple where the worship of Christ is being restored. The anointing of the most holy also speaks of Christ being received as King over the Jews.

Stay tuned for more...

Remain blessed!!!

DONALD TRUMP PRESIDENCY: A PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVE

The US Presidential Election has come and gone, but for the next four years, a bride of Christ preparing to up in the rapture must keep his eyes open watching day and night to see what is about to happen through out Donald Trump tenure. Many analysis has been done, even on this website, but today I want to do my last analysis prophetically on what to expect during Donald Trump Presidency.

Before I go into these Prophecies, let me give a good insight on two type of prophecies we have in the Bible.

Conditional and Unconditional Prophecy

Few people know this but there are various types of prophecy, of which many examples are found in the Bible. For instance I will quote a unconditional prophecy. It was the promise given to Abraham concerning the land of Canaan. The inheritance by his seed are "unconditional"! But yet the scriptures show there is another kind of prophecy which is called conditional prophecy. These type prophecies indicate what will take place in the natural order of events, but it is not for certain in the sense that it will occur in the exact order thought. The Scriptures clearly shows conditional prophecies. "One was spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, to King Hezekiah who was sick unto death! He said "Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live" (II Kings 20: 1) But the prophecy he spoke was conditional, because Hezekiah did not die!! Hezekiah poured Out his heart to God and the prophecy of Isaiah was changed! (II Kings 20:5, 6) (Another case of conditional prophecy is found in the Book of Jonah. God said and the prophecy was "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be over thrown"! (Jonah 3:4) But we find the people of Nineveh prayed and the prophecy was changed! (Jonah 3:5, 8-10) Here was an absolute example of conditional prophecy. And these were cases where God actually allowed prayer to change prophecy, also various others are mentioned in the Bible. God sometimes gives conditional prophecies like these to provide a period of warning so that men may change a situation by prayer. The Lord allowed these instances to be recorded, so that we might understand the difference of conditional and unconditional prophecies. Now the thing to watch is sometimes the prophecy will take place different than what we expected, but yet it will have occurred. And there is some cases where the prophecies are hidden and only partly fulfilled then, but later the rest is perfectly fulfilled (I will quote another unconditional prophecy, and that is the return of Christ, Prayer will not change it! He will return! THUS SAITH THE LORD!).

Now, let me bring to light some prophecies that are hidden but of great importance in this End of time.  This prophecies will help us have understanding of the time we are and also will help us to set in tune, what to expect in the tenure of Donald Trump.

(1). The Emergence of One Party System

I will quote a prophecy by Neal Frisby...

"The two party system shall soon fold together as one Power. First they will be divided but will come together again according to what I was shown. Probably “just one reason” because of so many splinter parties in the Democratic body, that later they will have to unite or change into one system. (Later with the anti-christ ruling that one system connected to Church Organizations) (“The Image Unto The Beast.”) Rev 13:14 – united into World Government. Watch! Money problems inner turmoil, civil war, all this will play a major role and for the Republicans and Democrats will come a “drastic change” as all unite for strength (If this doesn’t come to pass I will never preach another sermon) I know for I have THUS SAID THE LORD! For this shall surely come to pass"

In accordance with the prophecy above, and with the few cabinet members (which include 2 of his Republican critics) Donald Trump has announced, it's glaring that something like this could come up before, or towards or shortly after next election. Trump has made many enemies, even enemies inside his own party showing that the Democrats and Republicans are divided, especially the Republican... A collapse of these two parties is visible. Hillary Clinton could be a facilitator for this, triggering such. Even now that Trump has begin to support some of Obama's programme which he has previously denounced during his campaign like the Obama care.

Remember, Donald Trumph has gave two jobs to Republican women who had criticised him during his campaign. He is also said to be considering offering Mitt Romney - one of his most fierce critics - the most senior post of secretary of state.

Let's see Donald Trump comments on Governor Nikki Haley whom he taps as UN Envoy.

"Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together, regardless of background or party affiliation, to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country," Trump said in a statement.

"She is also a proven deal-maker, and we look to be making plenty of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage."

Another signal to the fulfillment of this prophecy can be seen in some of Donald Trump's messages to the US citizens.

Let's start with quotes from his acceptance speech shortly after the election victory.......

"Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together.

"To all Republicans and Democrats and Independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time.

"For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country." 

Let's see another quote from his Thursday's Thanksgiving Unifying message according to yahoo news... 

"The President-elect has travelled to his Palm Beach estate in Florida for the holiday, and acknowledged that America has "just finished a long and bruising political campaign". In his Thanksgiving message, he said: "Emotions are raw and tensions don't just heal overnight".

It's my prayer that on this Thanksgiving we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country strengthened by shared purpose and very, very common resolve. Happy Anniversary to everyone, we will together make America great again."

This one Party System prophecy is an unconditional prophecy and will surely come pass. Watch Donald Trump movements during his tenure. And when this happens, then the end is come.

(2). Could Donald Trump be Assassinated? 

I want to look this in a prophetic perspective. Let me quote some prophecies concerning this matter from. Neal Frisby’s prophetic scroll book.

"In the future the presidential office will go through unusual and drastic changes! . . . And if the presidential cycle of a president dying or being assassinated in office every 20 years has been broken because of the ending of the 7th cycle! . . . And on the 8th cycle President Reagan only suffered wounds concerning the 20 year cycle! - Then this may mean

that a president could die or be assassinated at any time between now and before the ending of the next 20 year cycle! This is worthy of watching!"

"God the Lord Himself determines how long kings and presidents will reign. There has been an interesting 20-year cycle in the U. S. presidents. Ever since 1840, every 20 years a president has either died or was assassinated in office! - Ronald Reagan broke the 20-year cycle when he was the first one to survive! - This could mean that now a president could die or be assassinated at any time instead of waiting for the 20-year cycle. Let us watch! . . . God has given the various presidents of the United States a precise period of time during the last 120 years to prove themselves before God and the nation. Reagan is the eighth president in this cycle. The fortieth president tells us that Jesus' return is very near!"

Now, the last four US President (including Barack Obama) were not assassinated or die in office, except Ronald Reagan that sustained wounds but survived the assasination. Now from Reagan (1981) to Obama (2016) tenure, we have 35 years already, if we add Donald Trump tenure to it we have 40 years.

From the prophecies above, we know Reagan broke the 20-year assasination cycle and it was a 8th cycle, the 9th cycle has also ended. We are in the 10th cycle, which will end when Donald Trump handover. Number 10 signifies the completion of a series, and the prophet made it clear that a president could still be assassinated or die in office any time from now or next 20 years cycle. If this has not come to pass in the 9th cycle, then this 10th cycle that ended in Trump's tenure is worthy of close watching. Who knows if Donald Trump could be assassinated or die in office to complete the this assasination cycle (Remember 10th cycle ends in his tenure).

Well, I'm not saying Trump will surely be assassinated or die in office, but we need to watch out what happen. But with all manner of Trump foreign policies which could affect the businesses of some prominent and strong men in US, there could be an attempt to assassinate him.

Watch and Pray, Jesus is coming soon.

ARMAGEDDON - THE LAST WORLD WAR - Part 2

Carefully and Patiently read along with your Bible.... 

2. The Reason for the Battle (continue) 

We are still on the reason for the battle or what leads to the battle. As we said in the previous article. Russia leads the invasion into Isreal and this is the beginning of the war.

One of the main reasons is famine across the earth and the hordes want more share of the Antichrist wealth. Prior to this, there is a world peace treaty. The nations of the earth will make an agreement with the Antichrist for a place under and with him for world rule but Russia rebels and invades Isreal. By this time, the Antichrist moves his headquarters to somewhere in the Middle east. He moves his operations near Jerusalem Dan 11:45. Why does Russia rebel? As stated above, she wants more share of the Antichrist's wealth.

The Antichrist will move his operations to the Middle east near Jerusalem and after the Jews build their Temple(Rev 11:1-2). He sits in it claiming he is god, the last 42 months of the Tribulation(II These 2:4), but at the end of his rule Russia rebels because she wants this spot of wealth and control from the center of the earth; and has an evil thought to invade to get silver, gold, goods etc, that the Antichrist has under his power (Dan 11:43). This causes a terrible eruption exploding in Armageddon.

The cruel bear of Ezekiel 38 - Russia, wants this fruitful area because it is in the center of the earth and will be in the midst of much wealth (verse 13). It is also the exact center of the earth from which the whole world will be controlled and one day Jesus will, but Satan will like to do it first from here. " Another reason, Russia hungrily eyes the rich mineral deposits of Israel's Dead Sea. ( According to Chemical Magazine the estimated value is one quadrillion, two hundred - sixty-seven trillion dollars!") - Plus Isreal is the gateway to the seas Russia wants, also an advantage point to where all the Arab oil supplies are at.

Now Ezekiel 38:10 says, thou shall think an evil thought. In one rendering, evil thought is tied to the world invention! So we see they may have some invention that gives them confidence that they can win the battle for the treasures of the Middle east or world. Verse 13 mentions cattle and goods right along with silver and gold and a great spoil, which evidently is the oil reserves! They mentioned livestock as being important, because a world famine has nearly wiped out the earth's food supplies in many places (Rev 11:6).

3. Description of the War

What type of war are we going to have at Armageddon? It is not only going to be a physical battle, it is going to be a space war. Missiles flying from one nation to another from outer space.

I will like to quote from one of Neal Frisby's articles; 

"THE AGE FINISHES UP FINALLY with a space orbital and missile war! All at once I saw like apocalyptic flash of fire over the Middle East - And the U.S.A went up as a smoke of burning furnace in the earth like hundreds of Volcano erupting! Atomic flames spreading out and pouring down upon continents -This was Armageddon Holocaust, using atomic push button energy inventions of man from space!"

The scripture I Thess 5:3 said when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them. 

Rev 6 describes in part chemical warfare! It depicts the 4 horses that include the Antichrist, war, famine, death and Hell! The pale horse is depicted as death. The Greek word in the original text for pale is 'chlorous' (Rev 6:8) and from it we derive the word chlorine. Chlorine is a yellowish- green coloured gas used in chemical warfare. So John is definitely predicting some type of chemical warfare including deadly gases and rays that will wipe out a large part of the population.

4. The Type of Weapons that will be used

The Prophet Daniel was told to shut up the words and seal the book till the time of the end (Dan 12:4). He was told many would run to and fro, and knowledge will increase. Daniel foresaw the keenness for super inventions . Man will invent death rays, atomic and electrical weapons, unheard of, also new type cosmic and laser rays. The world is preparing for Ezekiel chapter 38 with ultra modern weapons. Over the years we have seen the discovery of weapons that could annihilate the population, bringing vast destruction. 

They include cobalt, neutron, atomic bomb, energy and space weapons, gamma rays (death ray) and chemical warfare. The 'Gamma rays' are the most powerful, in the vacuum of space these rays can travel at the speed of light. Men would like to use this rays in an energy form to stop enemy missiles. Today men are walking on the laser and particle beam weapon to be used in space against enemy weapons. Unless Jesus intervened in the midst of these weapons, no flesh will be saved.

5. The Armageddon Battle itself

According to Ezekiel 38:1-6, Russia in the last days will have 5 specific countries join her in a catastrophic onslaught on Isreal. Persia(Iran), Ethiopia(not necessarily present day Ethiopia, probably Sudan), Libya, Gomer and Togarmah(possibly turkey and eastern Europe). From another direction joining them will be the kings of the East ( Rev 16:12 - Rev 9:14-16). Japan will be joined in this invasion along with other nations - only to die in the mountains and valleys of Isreal.

The Scriptures outline three phases of the war,

1). The first major part is probably when Russia and the above allies, including some Arab nations, attack Isreal. 

2). The Second part is when the Kings of the East literally charge into the Middle East!  

3). The third is when all nations with the Antichrist will confront these in battle. His Empire is Split (Dan 2:40-43 - Dan 11:40-45). 

Now, some might imagine why the world armies would converge on Isreal, knowing that the conflict would bring nothing but death! One of the reasons is deceiving spirits possess them (Rev 16:12-16).

Another reason could be they will be taking mind boggling new drugs which make them feel indestructible and fearless numb, unaware of the approaching doom. Ezekiel 38 verses 8-9 reveals massive troops will come as a storm. Hundreds of millions of them doped and crazed with the intent to kill. As many nations unite and cross the Euphrates for this great battle, the world will witness its greatest blood bath. Rev 14:20 - the blood came up even unto the horses bridles for the space of 200 miles. Are you here?

Zechariah chapter 13 verses 8-9 says two thirds of the people in Isreal shall die but the third shall be left in it, and this part he will bring through fire and refine them like silver. Zech 14:2 says the city shall be taken, houses rifled, women ravished etc. But then Zech 14:3 reveals the Lord intervenes to save the nation of Isreal from annilihation and fights against the nations that have fought against Isreal. Zech 14:12-14 tells about firstly; the plague wherewih the Lord shall smite those nations, Secondly; how he shall cause a tumult among them and cause them to fight against one another, Lastly; how Judah shall fight and gather much wealth. He remembers his Convenant with Abraham and he allows this to happen to the nation of Isreal so that they can turn back to him.

Will glowing fiery chariots appear over the Battle of Armageddon? Yes, the Lord Jesus and the angels will be seen in flaming light. The light and rays he uses will literally freeze, paralyze and melt the armies at Armageddon ( Zech 14:12). He is swift in action and his remedial measures are perfect in controlling mankind. Speaking of Armageddon, 

Isaiah 66:15 says the Lord will come with fire and his chariots like a whirlwind. He will rebuke the armies of the earth with flames of fire and rays of power. Zech 12:4 tells us the same place Jesus ascended to heaven from on the earth in Acts 1:12, is the same place he will set his feet upon when he shows up at Armageddon. This is the Mount of Olives.

Rev 1:7 "Behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him and all the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him". 

This is talking about when Jesus shows up at Armageddon. The same Jews that said crucify him, their eyes shall be opened and they shall wail because of him. All nations shall wail because of him. Then The Lord,  Jesus Christ will destroy the Antichrist who wanted to take his place with fire from his mouth. 

Rev 16:17-18 tells us the fowls of the air will be gathered to this great feast at Armageddon. 

This brings us to the end of Armageddon series. 

Thank you for staying with us. 

God bless you all.....
