The Millennium and the Kingdom of Heaven
|
|
The Kingdom Dispensation (1000 Years - Rev. 20:4) The recalling of Israel brings the long-awaited Kingdom of Prophecy into fulfillment. One Thousand Years of righteous
government shall follow. A time when the chosen nation shall be a blessing and a benediction to the nations of the earth (Zech. 8:13:,23; Ex.19:6). A time when God shall call earthly people to stand
(consist). Yes, they will stand because the Lord has spoken it, and He will do it. (Ezek. 36:25-28,36; Rom. 11:11-36; Acts 15::16; Jer. 30:31; Isa. 61:62; Zech. 12-14) Mankind
as a whole (the nations), those nations that survive the Great Tribulation (Rev. 7:9,14; 19:15; 20:4), will the nations stand? Some few may but most, no, for it is written "He shall
rule them with a rod of iron" (Rev. 19:15). Note that punishment is meted out to the disobedient ones (Zech. 14:16-19). Not only so, but the nations are in complete revolt at the conclusion of the one
thousand years (Rev. 20:7,8). Hence, mankind as a whole will not stand even while Satan has been chained in the bottomless pit during this dispensation. Satan cannot be the excuse for their
revolt. All this proves "that which is born of the flesh is flesh" and remains flesh. Only "that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit" and remains spirit (John 3:6). Consequently,
those gentiles who might stand would be converts to Israel. (Exodus 12:48)

The New Covenant
|
|
Although the Lord ratified the New Covenant by His own blood yet it has not been actually made with Israel. “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a New
Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, and those days will be when the Lord comes to them a second time. The Lord’s return at the consummation of the age has already been
seen to be the time when the Kingdom will be established, and Israel will be restored, and now the New Covenant shows how that will be the great occasion when God “shall take away their sins.”
“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: for this is My Covenant
unto them, when I shall take way their sins” (Rom 11:26-27).
The New Covenant will thus cause Israel to be made what God has intended they should be – they shall be My people” (Jer.
31:31-33). Israel were unable to keep the Old Covenant whereby their inheritance was promised them conditionally upon their righteousness according to the law, but under the New Covenant God will put His
law in their inward parts, their sins will be taken away, and then they shall be established in their promised land (Ezek. 36:24-28; 11:17-20). The Israel who shall then be God’s people will not be an
Israel as we know them today, but they will have been changed and given “a new heart.”

The Great White Thrown Judgement and Renovation of the Earth by Fire
|
|
After the Millennium, there is a renovation of the Earth by fire (2 Peter 3:10-12, Rev. 21:1). This is where the Great White Throne Judgement For Wicked is held (Rev. 20:11-15) At this
time is a Second Resurrection while Satan finally meets his doom (Rev. 20:10) along with the Wicked Dead when both are sentenced to the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14-15).

The New Heavens and the New Earth
|
|
The Perfect Dispensation 2 Peter 3:12-13 (Holiness) The New Heavens and The New Earth. This is the Dispensation of The Fullness of Times (Deu. 7:9) and the Day of God (click here to learn more about the different “Days” in scripture). This is where the third heaven comes
down to Earth and it is paradise (compare 2 Cor. 12:2,4 with 2 Peter 3:6.7,13). The former heavens and earth have passed away, everything is brand new and fresh from the Hand of God. It is not the end
of the world as some have said, but rather the beginning of the New Age. It is, in fact, "paradise restored." Think of that!!! It is not just the restoration of all things, but the
restoration of "The" all things (Col. 1:20). "The" all things having to do with that which God called "good." Compare Romans 8:28, "All Things," with
Romans 8:32, "The All Things," to understand the distinction.
The Holy City.
We behold a city prepared of God coming down out of Heaven prepared as a bride for her husband. The husband is the lamb. John 14:2 makes mention of this place. It is the city that Abraham sought (Hebrews 11:10,16). The twelve gates are of pearl. Each gate is one single pearl. Each gate is named after one of the twelve tribes of Israel. There are twelve foundations, each one of a different kind of stone. The colors in the stones are also different. Each foundation is named after one of the twelve apostles. The city is of pure gold, like unto clear glass. Likewise the streets are paved with pure gold. It is a perfect square 1500 miles high (12,000 furlongs) in each direction. The city itself is also 1500 miles high. Some believe it is in the shape of a pyramid. A jasper wall 144 cubits high (about 300 ft.) surrounds the city. The gates are never closed. There is no need of the sun or moon since the Lord is the light thereof. No night is there. Only the redeemed of all nations may enter. . . all others are outside. The water of life is its river, and it flows from the throne of God. In the middle of the street and on either side of the river is the Tree of Life. It yields twelve manner of fruits each month. The leaves of the tree are for healings. All of the redeemed shall see the Lamb face to face. It is here that the redeemed of the nations (mankind as a whole) finally stands (consist) complete (Rev. 21:24). There is no more crying, no death, no more curse . . . THIS IS PARADISE!!!
