In the
eleventh century B.C.E., the Israelites rejected YAHWEH’s
rule over them and asked the prophet Samuel to appoint them a human king
modeled after their pagan neighbors. In 1Samuel
ch.8, YAHWEH gives the
people one final warning as to what this type of government would do to
them, and the key word is 'take.'
This type of government will always 'take' more then it
gives. Unfortunately, the people were seduced by the dark side and
rejected HIS warning. This will now change.
Remember,
YAHWEH
used the prophet Daniel to interpret a prophecy outlining the superpower
human governments and the coming government of YAHWEH. The prophecy reveals that the conquering Messiah will destroy
this entire system of human governments.
Then man’s governments will be replaced by the
Kingdom/Government of YAHWEH,
headed by the Messiah, as King of kings ruling all the Earth (Dan.ch.2,
and a corresponding vision in ch.7).
Culturally, governments of humanity will reset
to the time before the ancient Israelites rejected YAHWEH’s system as
told in 1Samuel
ch.8. As in the Book of Judges, it will be a
government based the revolutionary Protestant concept: That GOD directly
empowers the people instead of a king. And what GOD directly gives, no
man can take away. The dusty statue books that control us today will be
gone in a world in which the people will finally accept their
responsibility of GOD given freedom.
The
Millennium Reign of the Messiah

- “...the
government will be on His shoulder…
- Of the increase of
His government and peace,
- there will
be no end...” -
Isaiah 9:6
|
|
Jerusalem - as YAHWEH sees it
- is the city at the center of the world, and it was the capital city of
Israel since the time of King David.
This will be the capitol of the Messiah's new world (Ps.2:6;
Isa.60:5). The world's
riches are His (Hag.2:8) to be displayed for the entire world in the
newly built Millennium Temple in which He will dwell.
Believers are ‘present in
the flesh,’ but do not live ‘according to the flesh.’ When a
person acknowledges the CREATOR instead of the self, then one commits to
a higher Law. In other words, believers, even though they live under
mans law, they submit themselves to the higher Laws of our CREATOR. This
is a form of theocracy, which means YHWH-GOD directly ruling HIS people.
From
the Millennium Temple complex,
Yahshua will rule as Judge, King, Teacher, Shepherd, and Redeemer, of
the new world by a divine government - a Theocracy - the Kingdom of
YAHWEH ruling over humans with righteousness, holiness, mercy and
goodness for the benefit of all Humanity.
A government has laws and so will it be in the Millennium
Kingdom. Yahshua Himself
stated: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the
Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one
jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is
fulfilled," Matthew 5:16-17.
The original Ten Commandments,
the Golden Rule, and Laws of YHWH given to Moses
will still be in effect, thankfully, the penalties for transgression
will not be as harsh as it was in the Old Testament times.
Bigotry, violence and the
guns of war will be silenced, as the righteousness and
justice of YAHWEH's Kingdom will finally be experienced in this world.
In the aftermath of the Great Tribulation and the terrible Battle
of Armageddon there will be an enormous need to rebuild a ravaged
planet. (This is one reason why I discount the post-tribulation theory.
When the world is in such turmoil from the past
seven years of tribulation, there will be a tremendous amount of work
needed to restore the basic essentials of food, water, shelter and
psychological reassurance to the people.
I
find it hard to believe that only the true believers' Yahshua called,
will then sit down to a huge marriage banquet described in Rev.19:9, and have a
private party in the midst of this planetary ruin.)
As
the Bible lessons teach, people will have to help themselves.
Yahshua will not wave a magic wand and turn the planet into
paradise. The community of
nations will work together honestly and fairly to accomplish this.
Yahshua will provide the planetary infrastructure to achieve a
peaceful world condition and total pure knowledge.
Nature will be tamed when the curse upon the ground recorded in
Genesis 3:17-19 will be lifted. Then
there will be no more weather damage, no rot, no decay, no rust, no
insect damage.
Yahshua
will change the Earth to accommodate the new civilization.
He will lower the mountains, raise the valleys (Nah.1:15); and
bring water to the deserts and they will become fertile.
The Dead Sea will be alive again and filled with a great
multitude of fish (Eze.47:9). He will raise the riches from the oceans (Isa.ch.35).
Even the animal kingdom will experience YAHWEH's original
peaceful form of nature; “...The
wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the
ox...” (Isa.65:25). Then
He will straighten out the races according to their lands (Isa.27-6;
Deu.32:8-9; Act.17:26.) He
shall repair the waste cites (Isa.61:4).
There
will be universal prosperity, and happiness, (Jer.31:12-14; Jon.10:10;
3Jon.2), and it will begin in Israel...
- " I will pour out on the house of David
- and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
- the Spirit of grace and of supplication,
- so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced;
- and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son,
- and they will weep bitterly over Him
- like the bitter weeping over a firstborn"
- -
Zechariah 12:10
- "I
will make you as a light for the nations,
- that
my salvation may reach to the end of the earth..."
- -
Isaiah 49:6
Yahshua
calls Israel His inheritance, he will rule the planet from
the throne of David. "For
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write
them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My
people Hebrews 8:10. The
covenants that YAHWEH made with Abraham and Moses, the Kingdom Covenants
YAHWEH made with King David and King Solomon, along with all the
prophecies made through the prophets of the Old Testament, will be
finally realized in the Millennial Kingdom.
These promises of peace, justice, prosperity, and eternal
blessings for Israel, and the world, will be fulfilled when the Messiah
sets up His throne in Jerusalem.
- "I
will also plant them on their land,
- and
they will not again be rooted out from their land
- which
I have given them, Says the LORD your God”
- -
Amos 9:15
Ezekiel
prophesied of Israel’s restoration in chapter 36:26-28, and
their national borders are outlined in chapter 47:13-23.
The ten lost tribes will come home, and the division of the land
to the 12 Tribes of Israel is stated in chapter 48:1-29. Hosea prophesied that the divorce from YAHWEH the FATHER
would be reconciled (chapter 1:9-10).
Yahshua will give them a new heart, forgiveness of sin, and the
in-filling of the Holy Spirit to a renewed nation.
Isaiah prophesied Israel would be given a new name chapter 62:4.
(Click picture to enlarge.)
The people chosen by YAHWEH to
receive HIS Laws, were commanded to live by example, to display to the
other nations of the world the benefits of YAHWEH's commands and ways of
living. Being the chosen ones was a double edge sword for the Hebrew
people, as YAHWEH held them to a higher standard. They suffered many punishments for their transgressions, and
because of their destiny, they endured many horrible assaults from the
dark powers. Now, they will
all be living again in their land under Yahshua as a model society to
all the nations of the world. This
will be the model society where all the nations will send their
delegations to copy and adopt this form of government in their own
countries (Isa.42:6). The special 144 thousand people (12 thousand from each
tribe), called by Yahshua during the Tribulation Period (Rev.7:1-8) will
have some mysterious administrative position in the Israeli governmental
hierarchy.
- A
perfect and just peace will flow from Jerusalem called
"the City of Peace" because the Prince of Peace will rule
forever (Joe.2:28-29; Isa.2:2-4,19:23-25; Mic.4:1-3.)
-
The
Millennium Temple
- Then He taught, saying to them,
- "Is it not written,
- 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'?
..."
- - Mark 11:17
The Prophet Ezekiel was a
detail man, and in chapters 40-43, he gives a very detailed description of the 4th
Jerusalem Temple, commonly known as Ezekiel’s Temple, or the
Millennium Temple. For those who can see, YHWH is showing us that HE is
in charge.
YAHWEH
The FATHER still sits in the Heavenly Great White Throne
Room. Yahshua the Messiah will sit in the new Millennium Temple on
Earth. And the new Temple Complex will also be the headquarters of the true
believers called by Yahshua, to be part of His ruling government.
They are the Angels of Light, Old Testament Saints, The Bride, The 144
Thousand, and the Tribulation Martyrs. They all will have unique
duties in helping to establish the Kingdom into the world.
The Millennial Temple will be the first temple built in
Jerusalem for the Son of the living GOD ruling the Planet Earth.
The Prophet Ezekiel had a very precise vision of the huge Temple
complex. It will be the
largest ever built with its outside walls being over a mile by a mile
square. It will not be
built on the temple mount because it would not fit, it will be built
about 25 miles north of Jerusalem, and the Prophet's descriptions, with
exact dimensions, are recorded in chapter 40.
The ancient priesthood and sacrificial system
of worship, as it was in the first three Temples, will be restored and continue in the new Temple, (Eze.ch.44-46).
The annual reminder of the animal sacrificial worship system is
teaching the spiritual lessons of the effects of sin - which is death
-still must be reinforced in the people’s minds during the millennium.
The sacrificial worship system, and the Holy Days of Leviticus ch.23 are ordained for all the Believers in
our CREATOR.
All together they picture the major spiritual steps in HIS great master plan to save the entire world from the destructive effects
of the dark powers. They
are the Holy Days which we will all celebrate forever (Isa.66:23;
Zec.14:16).
The
Ark of the Covenant will not be in the Temple nor will it be in
people minds any more. There
is no need for symbolic objects of the Messiah when He Himself is living
with Humanity. And He
said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the
place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the
children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name...”, Ezekiel
43:7.
Some say, if someone lays out
such specific prophecies, precisely detailing the building plans, then
HE must be very, very sure of HIS predictions.
Yahshua is the High Priest of the ancient Rites
according to the Order "Malki-Tzedek," or in English,
Melchizedek (Heb.6:20), and it
will be the cultural framework for all the nations. Selected nations
will survive and become members of the Millennium Kingdom, the
man-designed religions will not. The
new Millennium Temple will be the center of the new planetary religion.
The ‘Laws of Respect and Worship’ will flow from the Temple,
the Holy Names and the Holy Days will no longer be defiled.
The
Millennium Citizens will not be called Christians, Catholics,
Protestants, or Jewish Orthodox. Men
will not wear black pants, black coats with black hats.
Women will not be covered with garments from head to toe with
only their eyes visible. The Bible
teaches freedom, it is man that binds us in chains, now true
religion as described in James 1:19-27 will now become the religion of
the world. There will be local assembly halls for worship, but they will
also be true learning centers. The wisdom of the Kingdom will flow from
the Temple to the homes of a-l-l. Yahshua, the teachers' Teacher, will
present the Kingdom Lessons in a stunning brilliant manner just as He
did in His original 3 1/2-year ministry.
“And
it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And
from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,
says the LORD”, Isaiah
66:23. As the prophecy
states the Sabbath will be the day of worship, not Friday and not
Sunday. And the religious
calendar will be kept in accordance with the visible sighting of the New
Moon. All the nations of
the world will be represented in Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacles,
(Zec.14:16).
The nations participating in
the Jerusalem celebrations will not march in formation like some Roman
spectacle. It will be a
glorious and thrilling sight to behold, seeing all the nations sending
representatives in their colorful native costumes, banners, flags, and
dance, to give worship to our CREATOR in the name of the Messiah just as
Psalm 150 states:
- Praise the
LORD!
- Praise God in
His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
- Praise Him
for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent
greatness!
- Praise Him
with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!
- Praise Him
with the timbrel and dance;
- Praise Him
with stringed instruments and flutes!
- Praise Him
with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
- Let
everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
The fore runner of this can been seen at the current
Tabernacles festival in Jerusalem. Where believers come from around the
world to join the parade in the streets. Each year the International Christian Embassy
organizes an annual Christian pilgrimage during the Festival of
Tabernacles, gathering thousands of the faithful, representing more then
90 nations participating in a parade through the streets of Jerusalem.
It is a celebration-event, foreshadowing the prophecies written in
Zechariah 14:16.
Surprisingly,
some nations will still resist the Kingdom of YAHWEH, and decide not to
attend the Jerusalem Festivals. But
not for long, because Yahshua will withhold the rain from them and
strike them with plagues until they submit (Zec.14:16-20).
Life
in the Kingdom
Our CREATOR
is the designer of organic technology consisting of very
complex living compounds, and HE
does not think very much of our feeble synthetic substitutes. Yahshua will
set in motion physical laws that maintain our bodies and minds as well
as the spiritual laws for our sprit.
Based on organic technology, the ‘Laws of Health’ become
universal, then there will be no more sickness, no ill health, pain or
suffering (Jer.30:17; Isa.35:5-6).
There will be cleanliness, vigorous activity and real progress,
there will be no blight, no slums, no ghettoes and no degenerate
backward races or areas of the earth.
(And it’s a good bet that the machinery that helps us in
everyday life will be based on organic technology.)
Sin
will not be totally eliminated from the world, but will be
immediately and judicially dealt with by the Messiah.
The Age of Grace is over, now He rules with a rod of iron
(Rev.12:5,19:15). Some
believe, that life in the Millennium rule will be an eternal 24
hour-per-day church service where the most exciting thing will be
singing the next hymn. There
is not one verse in the Bible that suggests that YAHWEH's Theocracy will
be boring or uneventful. YAHWEH
did not ask Adam and Eve to hold worship services 100% of the time.
Everything in the Universe has purposeful activity and the
greatest adventure awaits humanity. It will be an age when personal
fears, limited time or finances, will no longer hamper our individual
interests and skills when exploring, and learning, the wonders of
YHWH’s Universe.
Prophecy
says in Isaiah 19:23-24 23, “In
that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian
will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians
will serve with the Assyrians. In
that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria; a blessing
in the midst of the land.” This
passage tells us there will be highways between nations for
transportation and trading, and Egypt is one of the nations that will be
a member nation in the future Millennium Kingdom.
With the ‘Laws of National Order’ in full force, there will
be no more governing by public opinion polls, no more politics, no more
political campaigns, no huge cartels, no huge bureaus watching each
other, no military establishments, no more wars among nations, no spy
agencies, no foreign aid, no corrupt judges or community and national
leaders. The national
governments will not be a human monarchy, oligarchy or plutocracy. It
will a government for the people – a-l-l the people.
The Biblical lessons are clear, as believers, we are to learn
these lessons of personal virtue, devotion to family, social justice,
etc., because the more moral the society, then less community laws are
needed to govern them. In China, almost 500 years before the Roman
Empire, Confucius sought to transmit the wisdom of the ancient sages.
Opposite of the Roman ways, Confucius and his disciples distrusted
written laws. He believed a dusty statute book was too inflexible to
handle the infinite variety of human experience. He chose to trust
people, not laws, and taught a philosophy of personal virtue, devotion
to family and social justice, to rely on innate human goodness as the
best guarantee of a civil society. He was probably closer to the
Biblical mark of the Noadic Covenant teachings, than most give him
credit for. Now the new world will learn them.
Let
us imagine for a moment, if the Ninth Commandment - "thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy neighbor" - was applied to our
commercial industry. Think
of the marvelous benefits to society if each company would honestly
report the truth regarding their products, and honestly seek to serve the
consumer's needs. The
ripple effect would be astounding!
There will be no more imitations or needless variation of
another's product, no more preplanned product life or planned product
obsolescence. In the new
civilization of honest, caring, loving people there will be only those
industries that are the best of its particular type, with products
honestly priced and truthfully advertised.
Besides
a perfected industrial organization, the agricultural community will
follow the ‘Laws of Nature’ and produce bountiful harvests. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
Streaming to the goodness of the LORD; For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a
well watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all, Jeremiah
31:12.
The
first six days of the week were appointed for Humanity's business
and labor, recognizing the legitimate acquisition of property - just do
not set your heart on it. The
‘Laws of Social Order’ will outline the form of government.
The Bible forbids all forms of communism that deny man's right to
property. Honest
self-reliant capitalism is the lesson taught, not greedy dishonest
capitalism. Not socialism -
where the people are dependant on government for their needs; and not
fascism - where government micro-manages every aspect of industry.
As
always in YAHWEH's government, the mundane tasks are rotated and
shared by all in the community, with rank and special duties delegated
according to individual talents. In
business there will be no deceitful, conniving, clandestine sales
pitches, no jealousy, no coveting or in other terms - keeping up with
the Jones. Community
welfare will be more important then competing with your neighbor.
Through the ‘Laws of Finance’
a 10 percent tithing system will be universal and that will finance the
entire Kingdom, providing educational and spiritual leadership of the
whole world. The Bible is
the foundation of knowledge and the new perfected Bible will be the
first book learned. A fixed
standard will be set up and its values will never change.
There will be no stock markets and no getting rich off someone
else's work (Isaiah 62:8-9). No
unions, no insurance companies, no mortgages, no world banks, no
interest (it's a sin to lend money and collect interest), and something
everyone can get behind - no more income or sales taxes, no inheritance
taxes, no federal, state, county, school board and city taxes, etc.
A
new, honest, non-predatory, commerce system will be introduced with
the Sabbatical system as the framework. There will be land lease deals
and contracts related to commerce, and once every fifty years all debts,
public and private will be completely canceled.
At
first, shadows of the past demonic influence will still follow many
people. Multiple millions
will still hold to the attitude of rebellion, of vanity, lust, and greed
from their false education, they will be forgiven and taught the error
of their ways. There are no
prisons in this kingdom, only a holding cell while awaiting trial and
sentencing. The ‘Laws of
Community Justice’ will outline a person’s rehabilitation, penalty
and restitution. And a caring family, and community, will support them
thorough their rehabilitation. Some
souls are beyond redemption and they will die, their spirits will be
called to the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the Age of
Humankind.
It
is ten times harder to unlearn and relearn, then it is to start from
scratch. This means the
ones with the highest education will take longer to relearn the ways of
the Kingdom (1Cor.8:1), then it will take for those with simpler
education to be taught the new concepts.
This learning will take few generations before it becomes
natural.
The Messiah will give us a new understanding covering the universal
Kingdom of YAHWEH and open our minds to its full potential.
In time, there will be no thievery, no murders, no bad marriages,
no juvenile delinquency, no prisons and no locks, keys or safes.
The family is
still the keystone of the faith. Home Worship and Table
Fellowship will be
commonplace. Parents will learn to bless their children and live by a
true example, and the children will grow up to be a blessing.
I agonized for a while before adding this verse to the story, in
Isa.57:20 it talks of an extended life - no problem there, but it makes
a curious reference that at 100 years old one will still be considered a
child. The truly scary part
to consider will be that ones children will live at home for maybe 150+
years before they go out on their own. I hope that doesn't throw some
cold water on the concept of paradise on Earth.
The
prophet Isaiah states in 11:6-9 “...the lion will lay down
with the lamb..., and a child will lead them.”
Today, we use less then 15% of our brain capacity.
Some eastern religions requiring years of study can teach people
how they may touch the force of nature use this 15 % power of the mind
more effectively. Now,
under the power of the Messiah a child using 100% its mental capacity
will do it naturally. “And
it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all
flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall
dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions,” Joel 2:28.
By
following the ‘Laws of Success,’ all will have total literacy,
total education, and one new pure language.
Today, all languages are corrupt; they are filled with
pagan-heathen terms, superstitions, misnomers, exceptions to rules, and
peculiar idioms (Zep.3:9). A
new era of good literature, music, arts, architecture, etc. will be born
when the entire world becomes truly educated and speaks the same
language.
Yahshua
is not only in charge of Earth, but also of this whole section of the
universe, and we will learn of all its wonders and mysteries. We will
work according to our unique talents and abilities.
And we must still continue to live a life of building our
character by overcoming our faults through spiritual growth and
development. Every person - self-governed, with a proper education, in a
proper environment, will be responsible for his or her own words and
actions. These Laws and way
of life are the only way a-l-l members of a free society can
coexist and prosper.
These
fundamental Laws exist in all of YAHWEH's communities in the
Universe, and Humanity must learn them if we are ever to join with
intergalactic societies of the Universe.
To
put it simply, today, across the world, we all learn the same
lessons in sports. To be a
team player, we must know the rules, and learn to play by the
rules. If
we do not, then we are off the team.
Our CREATOR's teams play on a grand intergalactic scale, but
first we have to learn the basics before we can join YAHWEH's team from
New Earth .
After
the Thousand Years were finished…
Probably
one of the most widely known passage relating to Kingdom life
is from Isaiah 2:4, “…They shall beat their swords into
plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.” But
they still will learn ‘self-defense’ against the dark forces.
The
knowledge of the next step in humankind’s spiritual evolution will
be a cause of great anxiety in the Millennial Kingdom.
The future prophecies will be taught, and everyone will know that
Satan will be freed at the end of the Millennium Reign, and will cause
on a planetary scale, one last final demonic assault on YAHWEH's
Creation (Rev.20:1-3, 7-8).
The
Millennial Citizens will have one thousand years to prepare for a
planetary war, and once again the major battleground - ground zero -
will be Jerusalem. It is surprising to discover that many will be quick
to reject the blessings of Kingdom life. After preparing a thousand
years, for a singular warfare event, I could not imagine the anxiety of
the world's population at the moment of conflict in such a battle.
Now,
Michael the Archangel descends to the bottomless pit and unchains
Satan. Beginning the last drama of the spiritual opera, a battle
of worldwide proportions for the souls of the Planet Earth...
YHWH
vs. Satan - The
Final Battle
When
the thousand years were finished, Satan will be allowed to go
free for "a little season," to test the humans one last time.
Babylon, the place of your return awaits you Lucifer! And with his
release the final prophecies will be fulfilled as he begins his last
battle to reign supreme. The
dark cloud of chaos will rise from his pit and settle on humanity in one
last struggle for control of the galaxy.
Satan will begin one more time to tempt the humans born during
the Millennium.
Many
will reject the righteous government under the rule of
Yahshua. Satan will then gather his rebellious group in one last assault
on the City of YAHWEH, Jerusalem. The prophet John relays the account,
Revelation 20:7-9, “Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan
will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather
them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They
went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city.”
“
And fire came down from YAHWEH out of heaven and devoured them.”
YAHWEH
is watching. HE has seen enough and stops the fighting. As
always, the warmongers will not do well.
This last attempt to destroy Jerusalem - the city of YAHWEH -
marks the conclusion of Satan’s spiritual warfare against YAHWEH and
HIS Heavenly army throughout the universe.
Now the books of life will be opened and YAHWEH’s Great White
Throne Judgment begins…
- ...and
the Universe awaits
- for
the revealing of the Children of YAHWEH
- from
New Earth...
