The Teachings of the Kingdom

[NetChaplain]

The teachings of the kingdom (Millennial Kingdom—NC) have not been applied to any man. Since they anticipate the binding of Satan, a purified earth, the restoration of Israel and the personal reign of the King, they cannot be applied until God’s appointed time when these accompanying conditions on the earth have been brought to pass.

The kingdom laws will be addressed to Israel and beyond them to all the nations which will enter the kingdom (excluding the Church which will be reigning with Christ over the kingdom, which will involve Israel - Luk 22:30—NC). It will be the first and only universal reign of righteousness and peace in the history of the world. One nation was in view when the Law of Moses was in force on the earth; the individual is in view during this dispensation of grace; and the whole social order of mankind will be in view when the kingdom is established on the earth.

The reign of the King is never said to be ushered in by a gradual process of world improvement; it is introduced suddenly and with great violence. The return of the King to rule is like a smiting stone, and will demolish the structure of the world empires. Satan and the satanic deception will have been removed from the earth, Israel will have realized the glory of her Covenant; and the long-predicted blessing (eternity with the Father, Son and Spirit—NC) will have come upon all the Gentiles (and Christian Jews—NC), and upon creation itself (Rom 8:21).

The Church is not mentioned in relation to the teachings of the kingdom (it’s all earthly, esp. new earth—NC), nor are those teachings applied to her (Jhn 3:12, 31); for her part in the kingdom is not to be reined over, but to reign with Christ, her Head. She, being the Bride of the King, is His Consort. She will be under the heavenly teachings of grace, and her home will be in the bosom of the Bridegroom in the heavenly palace of the King (Father’s house of mansions - Jhn 14:2—NC).

The King will rule Israel and the nations with a rod of iron (Rev 2:27 – probably “breaking of rocky hearts in pieces at conversion.” J Gill). Sin and iniquity will be rebuked instantly and judged in perfect righteousness. Clear conception of the glory of the kingdom is lost if it is confused with the age of grace which precedes it, or with the sinless new heaven and new earth of the eternal state which follows it. The kingdom closes with a demonstration of the failure of man and thus it adds the last message of the converging testimony of the wickedness of the fallen heart, and to the fact that in the exceeding grace of God alone is there salvation.

If truth for the children of God under grace is to be drawn from the teachings of the Law of Moses, or the kingdom, it should be acknowledged that it is taken from a system totally foreign to grace (the kingdom is the time for judgement, like the Law that showed judgment, e.g. Rev 18, 19; grace will return after the condemning of the lost on the old earth (Rev 20:11-15), and the eternal new heaven and earth begin. Just my opinion—NC).

MJS daily devotional excerpt for March 2

“Faith does not create or produce, but rests and rejoices in what God does!” –MJS

“A great many people have the faith that seeks, but they have not a faith that rests. The Lord Jesus is here, rest in Him, let the burden go. ‘Lord, I trust Thee now; I abide in Thee now. Lord, as I think about my home problems, my business pressures, my personal difficulties in every sphere of life, I bring them all, and give them all to Thee.’ And believe that He keeps you. I am sure this rest of faith is the center of all activity.

“You cannot work without friction until you have this rest of faith—complete dependence not only on what the Lord has done, but on what He is to you this very moment. Rest in Him. ‘God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye always [not sometimes] having all sufficiency in all things, may abound unto every good work’ (2 Cor. 9:8).” –Eliza Hodges (1803-1867)

None But The Hungry Heart

 

[B-A-C]

The teachings of the kingdom (Millennial Kingdom—NC) have not been applied to any man. Since they anticipate the binding of Satan, a purified earth, the restoration of Israel and the personal reign of the King, they cannot be applied until God’s appointed time when these accompanying conditions on the earth have been brought to pass.

Rev 20:1; Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2; And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Rev 20:3; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Rev 20:5; The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6; Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Rev 20:7; When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,
Rev 20:8; and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
Rev 20:9; And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Rev 20:10; And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Earth is not "purified" before the thousand year reign. In fact, Satan will be loosed after the thousand year reign, gather up an army numbered like "the sand of the sea".
All of this happens after the millennial reign.

It will be the first and only universal reign of righteousness and peace in the history of the world.

Rev 2:27; AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;
Rev 12:5; And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
Rev 19:15; From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.

The millennial reign won't be passively peaceful. Jesus will rule with a rod of iron during this time.
It won't be the "only" time. There was a time of peace in the garden of Eden. There will be another time of peace "after" the millennial reign.

In fact, even after the New Earth is created, and the New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, there will still be unsaved people.

Rev 22:14; Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15; Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

Matt 17:20; And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you're tying to say. God bless!

 

[Oseas]

But according to the Word of GOD - the Word is GOD - the Kingdom of GOD and 1000 years of peace will only be established AFTER the LITERAL fulfillment of Revelation 11:15 to 18, as follow:

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.

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 should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
Get ready


And more the LITERAL fulfillment of 1 Corinthians 15:24 to 28, as follow:

24 The END cometh, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to GOD, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that GOD may be all in all.


The Lord's Day arrived, the seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium, the millennium of the righteous Judgment of GOD - the Word is GOD - the Judgment Seat of Christ.

We are in the beginning of the first century of the seventh and last millennium, in the turn from the sixth to the seventh Day. Do you remember what happens in the turn of GOD's Day? Genesis 3: 9 is a good example: - the Lord GOD called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

There are those who are among those who are truly in the kingdom, but only say their in the kingdom, and are not truly in the kingdom (apostates and hypocrites).

Everything we do by faith is God moving on what we act on, but the power is always from God. Not from us but "through" us! "Strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man (new man or new nature). We act, God moves!

What does the Word of GOD say? The Word is GOD, understand?

Revelation 19: 11and 15 and 19-21:-

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth Judge and make War.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp Sword(GOD's Word), that with it he should SMITE the NATIONS: and he shall RULE THEM with a ROD OF IRON: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and WRATH of Almighty GOD. (Revelation 11: 18)

19 And I saw the Beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make WAR against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the Beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the Beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were (WILL BE) cast alive into A LAKE OF FIRE burning with brimstone.

21 And the REMNANT were slain with the Sword of him that sat upon the horse, which Sword (GOD's WORD) proceeded out of his MOUTH: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.


And simultaneously the LITERAL fulfillment of Revelation20: 2-4:

2 And he laid hold on the Dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: ...

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 5: 9-10
9 . . . You was slain, and has redeemed us to GOD by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And has made us unto our GOD kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Matthew 5: 5
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Revelation 21:8
8 But the fearful(COWARDS), and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

What does the Word of GOD say? The Word is GOD, understand?

True, a 7 year tribulation will precede the Millennium Kingdom!

 

[Oseas]

True, a 7 year tribulation will precede the Millennium Kingdom!

Yes.

The 7 year tribulation (84 months or around 2,520 days) will start still within this current decade 2020-2030- , and according Revelation 11:2 , in the first (42) forty and two months (first half of the week), the "court which is WITHOUT THE TEMPLE will be given unto the Gentiles: and the great City which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt shall they tread under foot" (Revelation 13:5. Take a look). Afterwards, as soon as starts the 2nd half of the week, this space of time is for the worst of all events that will take place , I mean the AoD . According Daniel's prophecy -Daniel 12:11 - "from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away(the sacrifice of JESUS has lasted around 730.000 days and will be finished-the Dispensation of Grace ends), and the abomination that maketh desolate will be set up for a thousand two hundred and ninety days". Daniel 12:12 says - "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days, yes, day 1.335, actually 45 days after the END of the period of AoD, that is the Ineffable, Wonderful, Indescribable, Unspeakable day, the day 1.335. Hallelujaaah!!!

May our Lord GOD bless and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen.

I'm sorry but I'm not a preterist because Scripture is directly clear concerning the chronological eschatology of the tribulation and millennium. It reveals certain events that must occur that are antecedent to the tribulation and Millennium Kingdome, which have yet to transpire

Sorry, but your reply is simply evasive. My specific point is about tribulation that will still start, and it will LITERALLY happen in the last 7 years of the current Devil's world, by the way, some of prior events are already happening.

Where is written in the Scriptures what you intend to say in your reply?

The "man of sin" would have to be revealed to begin the seven year tribulation, then the Millennium begins (2Th 2:3).

 

[Oseas]

The "man of sin" would have to be revealed to begin the seven year tribulation, then the Millennium begins (2Th 2:3).

We know that Israel returned to Palestine in 1.948 after 1.878 years of terrible punishments (from 70 to 1948 AD) by the crucifixion of the Son of God -JESUS.

The punishment against Israel occurred in fulfillment of plagues and CURSES written by Moses against the people in Deuteronomy 28:v.15 to 68; 53 verses of strong and severe punishments and CURSES. Take a look.

From 1948 to 2022 have passed 74 years, so the time of manifestation of the man of sin, son of perdition, has arrived, as it is written in the Word of GOD - the Word is GOD- 2Thessalonians 2:3-4 & 9-10 - and the main sign is the current apostasy, apostasy of the ends of the times:

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come (the seventh and last Day-the LORD's Day, or seventh and last millennium), except there come a falling away first (this devilish event is already and LITERALLY fulfilling), and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (this satanic event must still be fulfilled from now on);

4 Who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in Jerusalem shewing himself that he is God.

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. Terrible, very terrible.

It's ok, but it appears we differ in our understanding of the end-times (eschatology).

 

[Oseas]

It's ok, but it appears we differ in our understanding of the end-times (eschatology).

OK, I understand. I work with the Word of GOD exclusively, the Word is GOD, understand? I quoted 2 Thessalonians 2 above in my post #13, and commented that the man of sin does not manifest himself yet, for GOD -the Word is GOD- is in control of all things, nothing random happens, the Word says that the man of sin might be revealed in his time-2 Thes.2:v.6-, as the Word has determined -the Word is GOD.

As I said, GOD -the Word - is in control of history, nothing random happens. If GOD had not spread the people of Israel around the world from 70 to 1948 AD in fulfillment of His Word, the man of sin, son of perdition, A FORMER CHERUB, who was called Lucifer by the prophet Isaiah, maybe he would have manifested himself as God (as messiah) for the Jews first as is written, and for the Gentile nations as a whole. As the Word says, only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way (verse 7). In my view, the times that he is taken out of the way arrived, and the prophecy will fulfill LITERALLY in any day from now on.

As the Word says, only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way (verse 7). In my view, the times that he is taken out of the way arrived, and the prophecy will fulfill LITERALLY in any day from now on.

It's mu understanding that the revealing of the man of sin has yet to occur, because then these things (2Th 2:8-12) would have also come to pass, which they haven't.

 

[Oseas]

It's mu understanding that the revealing of the man of sin has yet to occur, because then these things (2Th 2:8-12) would have also come to pass, which they haven't.

Surely, "the man of sin has yet to occurs" as we have said in several prior posts, and only then "(2Th 2:8-12) will also come to pass"..., sure. This second event depends on the first one occurs, obviously.

[Oseas]

True!

Are you ready to face the man of sin? There will be a WAR against him and his main partner, according Revelation 19:19-21. There will be two satanic Beasts on the Earth, both will try to establish a powerful religious and satanic estructures in the world, actually a religious MONSTER of 7 heads, and 10 horns, as is mentioned in Revelation 13:verse 1, and another in the verse 11. Take a look.

The "man of sin" would have to be revealed to begin the seven year tribulation,

do you think revelation is in chronological order?

do you think the seals are part of the tribulation?
