Living in the Millennium

"Living in the Millennium"


Why is the Millennium the neglected prophecy? Why were thousands of books written predicting who the anti-Christ might be, or trying to determine if we would be raptured at the beginning, the middle or end of the tribulation, or myriads of books about heaven itself? Why do we skip right over the Millennium?
Revelation 20:6, "but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Ruling and reigning are verbs, what part of that did we not understand? The time line we crossed coming into this Millennium was not the finish line, only a new starting line.
We, who entered the Millenniums as immortals, are given assignments, celebrate holiday feasts, attend courses given by prophets from every dispensation, ride giant turtles in the reconstructed Garden of Eden, formulate advances in all areas of science, and have joy unspeakable and full of glory. Pleasures are innumerable but our responsibilities and labors have not ended.
We all know Isaiah 2:4, "and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks," which indicates the need for plowshares and pruning hooks, which indicates a time of labor, a time of labor that we misunderstood.
There are many mortals who have also entered into this kingdom and King Jesus' reign. We are dwelling and reigning among these mortals, mortals that still need to accept the one and only way to obtain a place in the promised everlasting heaven.
II Peter 3:12-13, "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
How will we be protected while the Almighty God accomplishes this monumental task, where and will he preserve the animal and plant life during this time of fire, like he did in Noah's time?
Will we be able to witness this recreation? After being able to watch the first creation by heavenly recordings made at the beginning of time, the anticipation is almost overwhelming, waiting for this promise to be fulfilled. Luke 21:33, "And though all heaven and earth shall pass away, yet my words remain forever true." The Almighty God has promised us this newly created eternal dwelling place following this Millennium, and it will appear. His word remains forever true.
This journal is filled with interesting submissions from numerous individuals around the world, from various cultures, different nations, diverse professions and from different age groups, each describing the circumstances surrounding their own journey into this distinct world. A world that sees King Jesus walking the hills of Judea once again, or strolling the streets of Trondheim, Norway, as well as helping students in classrooms interpret weather patterns, or encouraging musicians to master the new musical notes he has introduced.
Why hasn't the New Jerusalem already descended, why would this Gracious Ruler still allow men and women to hunt for wild game, what is the Abyss and why is Satan cast into it for this short period of time, and not for all eternity? These are questions we explore in our journeys in the Millennium.
We learn of insurrections by mortals that must be controlled by those of us ruling and reigning with Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Eternal One who now sits upon his glorious throne, ruling with justice.
We see millions of mortals, who have been born in this Millennium, still experiencing sorrow, tears, pain, yes and even death. Satan is bound but sin is still present because of self and the temptations of the world. Those things, in addition to time, will not be destroyed until the end of this Millennium.
Read about "Hard to Understand Q & A" programs meant to help us interpret all the prophecies that are still in our future, a future in a New Heaven and a New Earth, our long awaited eternal dwelling place.
Surprisingly, this Millennium is not yet heaven, as we had expected, but a time period of one thousand years, a time that is necessary to fulfill all that God Eternal has promised.
Then, as we see 12-31-999 Mil approaching, and millions of unbelieving mortals anxiously awaiting Satan's release from the Abyss, we wonder, where did we fail? This Millennium is a far greater task than we ever imagined.
Come join me in the unexpected adventure of "Living in the Millennium."


FOR THE CASUAL BIBLE SCHOLAR.................
To understand this book, one must realize just how we got to the Millennium, the one thousand year reign of Jesus the Christ, here on earth.
Following the rapture, an anti-Christ will deceive millions, cause a great tribulation and will lead many nations into the battle of Armageddon.
When Jesus the Christ comes to intervene in that battle, he will bring his immortal, raptured saints with him. The anti-Christ will suffer a resounding defeat and will be cast into the lake of fire along with the false prophet. Millions of people who have pledged allegiance to the anti-Christ, and taken his mark, will also be destroyed. Satan will be thrown into the Abyss for the duration of the thousand years.
At that time the Millennium will commence, with Jesus, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords setting up his kingdom on earth. This is the kingdom that the disciples and the early Christians thought Jesus might establish on his earlier visit to our planet.
This kingdom will be populated with immortal, raptured saints alongside many mortals, mortals who have not believed the lies of the anti-Christ, but had finally understood the truth of God's great plan for deliverance, and often under dire circumstances, accepted that truth.
These mortals and immortals will inhabit this planet together, leading intermingling lives, accomplishing many great strides in medicine, science, disease, climate control and just about every area you can imagine.
"Living in the Millennium" is meant to stimulate your own ideas and expectations of what miraculous things can happen, when Jesus is in total control.
