THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, AND WHY OF THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

I have just discovered another book on Jesus’ coming Millennial Kingdom by Dr Nathan Jones of Lamb Lion Ministries – The Coming Millennial Kingdom.

Like me, Nathan realises that most Christians have no concept of what is coming next for Christians and this earth. Initially, Nathan was going to call the book – The Forgotten Kingdom but his editor correctly said this would be misleading and not get the book to the right audience. To know more about Jesus’ coming Millennial Kingdom, visit http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

The only problem with this video is that both men believe in a Pretribulation Rapture, whereas I support a PreWrath position. The rapture happens at the trumpet blast of the seventh seal, at the end of the sixth year of the last seven years before Jesus returns to earth to defeat the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon.

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Note from this Scripture that the Wrath of God has come at the end of the sixth seal. God will protect Christians from the wrath of God (Trumpet and Bowl judgements), but not from the tribulation, which God will use to purify His church.

The other confirming proof of the timing of the rapture at the end of the sixth year is the seven churches that represent the church in each of the last seven years (70th week of Daniel 8). The sixth church of Philadelphia is the church that is raptured.

CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA: “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name… Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.Revelation 3:8,10

The seventh church of Laodicea is clearly the Christians which is left behind to face the wrath of God.

CHURCH OF LAODICEA: “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.Revelation 3:15-19

CHINA: AMERICA’S AGGRESSIVE, ESCALATING ADVERSARY

If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” declared the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), in a statement reposted Tuesday by the Chinese Embassy.

President Donald Trump has engaged the CCP in a punishing spiral of escalating tariffs, which have now exceeded 100% in both directions. But the conflict is not limited to trade, as tensions grow between the U.S. and China on numerous diplomatic and military fault lines.

Taiwan produces over 60% of the world’s semiconductors and over 90% of the most advanced ones used for AI. While it makes the chips, most are designed and owned by U.S. companies. The U.S. government’s ban on the sale of these chips to China increases China’s likelihood of attacking Taiwan.

What part does China play in the Biblical end times before Jesus’ return to earth to rescue Israel and destroy the Antichrist armies that demonic spirits gather from all over the world?

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.Revelation 16:12-14

This scripture tells us that armies come from the east and the rest of the world. This would definitely include the Muslim nations in the east, but it could also include China, but we are not told. China and most of the Western countries of the world are not mentioned specifically in the scripture of Biblical end-times.

Jerusalem is often referred to as the city chosen by God for His dwelling. In 1 Kings 11:36, God declares, “I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put My Name.” This divine selection underscores Jerusalem’s unique status as a spiritual centre for Israel and a symbol of God’s presence among His people, and it is central to Biblical end-times prophecies.

Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.Zechariah 12:2-3

Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. If you want to know what is coming next, watch this space and keep watch on what is happening to Israel and Jerusalem.

RULING AND REIGNING WITH JESUS AND THE SAINTS ON THIS EARTH

In this video, Matthew Foley of the International School of the Word (ISOW INSIGHTS) interviews me about Jesus’ coming Millennial Kingdom.

I reveal to Matthew that I was reluctant when the Holy Spirit directed me to focus on what is next on God’s agenda for this planet. This Earth has had almost 6000 years of Satan as ruler of the nations. His rule is ending, and the nation God established for His purposes, Israel, will finally fulfil its destiny with its Messiah, Jesus, ruling all the countries of the earth for 1000 years. Jesus rules from a newly constructed Jerusalem on the highest mountain on earth. We discuss what the Bible says concerning Jesus’ ruling and reigning on earth with the resurrected Saints. The curse is not lifted, so people are still being born, and people are dying. Jesus and the Saints need to rule with a rod of iron, and people still need to repent and accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

PEOPLE AND ANIMALS IN JESUS’S COMING MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

In the beginning, when God created the Earth and humans in His image, until the Fall of mankind, there was no death and humans and animals lived in harmony. Remember, God had Adam name all the animals, and they were subject to him.

This will certainly be the same when God creates the new heaven and new earth, but will it be the case when Jesus rules and reigns on this earth during His Millennial Kingdom? Sadly, I do not think so as the curse is not lifted, and people and animals still die. However, biblical prophecy reveals that Israel, as God’s nation, will be blessed above all others. In the following Scripture, it states that these animals’ shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, so this may apply in Israel.

The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the Lord. Isaiah 65:25

You shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory, you shall boast. Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonour, they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore, in their land, they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.” Isaiah 61:6-7

This video shows how a man developed a friendly long-term relationship with a shark after he had removed a hook from its mouth. It gives us a snapshot of what it was like before the Fall and what it will be like on the new earth.

ISRAEL’S FEAST DAYS PROPHECY THE RETURN OF JESUS

Nelson explains the importance of understanding the Feast Days (Moedim – appointed times) of the Lord. It must be remembered that these are appointments that God established for the Israelites so that they could meet with Him and receive His revelation for their lives. We often call the moedim feasts, which is fine at one level. However, most of the moedim did not originally involve proper feasting on food. For this reason, we should remember that facilitating a revelatory encounter with God was always the central purpose of the moedim, though, thankfully, in some cases, this did involve actual feasting.

God established them for His purposes, not only for His nation Israel but also prophetically. The Spring Feasts prophesied Jesus’ first coming to Earth, and the Fall Feasts will be applicable for His second coming.

Nelson takes it further, will April 9, 2025, transform the earth – forever? What may happen and who may be revealed? What do we cross over that day, never to return? What earth-shaking biblical cross-overs also happened that day? Click here to watch this mind-blowing Nelson Walters video to discover the Tribulation timeline you never knew.

For those of you who want a deeper understanding of the prophetic nature of the Feast Days (Appointed Days), I recommend you get Travis Snow’s book The Biblical Feasts and the Return of Jesus – How the Spring and Fall Feasts will be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.

JESUS KINGDOM WILL COME, AND HIS WILL WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” This statement is up front in the only prayer our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray to our Heavenly Father. How many times has this prayer been prayed, and yet it has not come to pass? But you can rest assured it will, and Biblical end-times prophecy reveals it is not too far off.

Before 1948, Israel did not exist as a nation, so all the Biblical end-times prophecies about Israel and of Jesus returning to Earth on the Mount of Olives to rescue the nation of Israel made no sense. Hence, the miraculous rebirth of Israel was the first major Biblical end-times prophecy that was fulfilled.

The Bible reveals God will regather the Jews from all the Nations, and on Jesus’ return, with Him ruling and reigning, Israel will realise her destiny as head of the Nations. 

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry on this earth, He recited Isaiah 61:1-2 in the synagogue:

He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” Isaiah 61:1-2

But note what He did then. “And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. “And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:20-21

Jesus did not read the rest of Isaiah’s prophecy because it refers to His second coming. Look at the incredible amount of detail it provides about what will happen at Jesus second coming to earth and during His Millennial reign.

And the day of vengeance of our Godto comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorifiedThey shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; but you shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory, you shall boastInstead of your shame, there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonour, they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore, in their land, they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy. For I the Lord love justice, hate, robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with themTheir offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.” Isaiah 61:2-11

To fulfil Isaiah’s and Ezekiel’s prophecies 37:21-23, as well as the many other O.T. and N.T. prophecies on Jesus’ second coming, the Millennium Kingdom is a necessary transition before the new heaven and new earth. God tells us He will make Israel one nation and make a new covenant with them. He will ensure they never backslide again. The saved and the unsaved alike will behold Jesus’ rightful place as the divine sovereign of the universe.

GROK 3 AND JESUS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

I typed into Grok 3: Next on God’s agenda is Jesus ruling and reigning on Earth for 1000 years – Jesus Millennial Kingdom.

Grok 3 responded: Yes, that’s correct! According to the biblical teachings, after Jesus’ second coming, he will establish his millennial kingdom on Earth for a thousand years. During this time, Jesus will reign as the rightful King of Kings and Lord of Lords, bringing peace, justice, and prosperity to the world. The millennial kingdom will also serve as a time for the restoration of all things, as God will finally put an end to sin, sickness, and death, and creation will be fully restored to its original glory.

Grok 3 got the last sentence wrong. The Millennial Kingdom is a transition period; it is not the time for the restoration of all things. In fact, whilst Satan is bound in the Abyss for most of the thousand years. God releases him at the end and he is still able to raise an army like the sand of the sea to come against Jesus and the glorified Saints.

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them.” Revelation 20:7-9

The restoration of all things takes place after this earth is destroyed by fire. Then, the second resurrection of the dead occurs, followed by Jesus’ White Throne judgment. Only after it, does John see the magnificent new Jerusalem descending from the new heaven onto a new Earth where only the righteous dwell.

JESUS COMING MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

How does the description of Christ’s return challenge modern perceptions of His role? Tom Bradford delves into the transition from God’s judgment of the world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements to the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom. He explains the symbolism of the marriage (covenant) of the Lamb, highlighting Christ’s return as a divine warrior to establish His kingdom on Earth. The beginning of a new era of righteous rule with a “rod of iron” and divine law.

Tom Bradford does a great job of introducing Jesus’s coming Millennial Kingdom, which is next on God’s agenda for Earth. For more, check out http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

He then briefly discusses the magnificent Jerusalem that God brings down to the new Earth after the White Throne judgment.

THE TIMING OF THE SEVEN SEALS OF REVELATION

The 9th of Av (the fifth month on the Jewish calendar—-July/August on the Gregorian calendar) is one of the darkest days of enormous historic importance to the Jews.

The events in history that occurred on the 9th of Av prove that God is in control of history: 1. The ten spies sent by Moses encouraged the Israelites not to enter the promised land. 2. The walls of Jerusalem were breached during the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem. 3. The destruction of the First Temple in 586 BC. 4. The destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70. 5. The expulsion of Jews from England in 1290. 6. The expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1490. 7. The 9th of November is remembered as Kristallnacht, when Nazi thugs attacked Jewish shops, homes and synagogues across Germany and Austria. Historians point to it as the beginning of the use of violence against the Jews by the Nazis and marks the start of the Holocaust.

In the future, events during the 70th Week of Daniel may also have significant events fulfilled on Jewish historic dates. The 70th week of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27) is the last seven years before Jesus returns first to raise the dead in Christ and then rapture the Saints that are alive before pouring out His wrath upon the unrepentant with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Jesus then returns to Earth with some of the resurrected Saints to save Israel and destroy the Antichrist and False Prophet and his army at the battle of Armageddon. Jesus will then usher in His Millennial Kingdom (www.millennialkingdom.net).

A case can be made that the 7 Sealed Scroll will be opened on the Feasts of the Lord. All the Spring Feasts predicted Jesus’s First coming, so it is reasonable to assume that the Fall Feasts will predict His second coming. The Resurrection and Rapture will occur on Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) (which occurs at the Seventh Seal), which is one of the seven Feasts of the Lord, or appointed times, in the Fall. The end of the 70th Week of Daniel) will happen on Yom Kippur, which will occur at the end of the seventh year. Let’s investigate the possibility that all the other seals will be opened on Feast days as well during each of the seven years of the 70th Week. If the 70th Week of Daniel begins exactly seven years before its completion (on Yom Kippur of the Seventh Year), that means that the 70th Week will also begin on a Yom Kippur—-the Yom Kippur at the very start

If the seven seals truly are opened chronologically on each of the seven Feasts of the Lord, and if the First Seal is opened on Yom Kippur of the First Year, then all the seals could be opened in successive chronologic order in each of the seven years and end with the Seventh Seal opened on Yom Teruah of the Sixth Year, which we already know is its proper date of fulfillment. It is really quite amazing how the events happening in each of the seven years align with the events and symbols of the seven Feasts of the Lord. This further indicates that God has ordained significant happenings to occur at the appointed times of the Feast days and shows his omnipotent hand.

EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF AMERICA PROMOTES GODDESS WORSHIP

A Lutheran church in San Francisco that was founded nearly 150 years ago now worships a “goddess” and has a “resident witch” on staff. Formerly known as Ebenezer Lutheran Church, “herchurch” is a congregation within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and is part of the progressive denomination’s Sierra Pacific Synod, which consists of approximately 180 “worshipping communities” across Northern California and Northern Nevada, according to its website.

The staff, which is led by “pastor and priestess of ritual” Stacy Boorn, includes over a half dozen “priestesses” and a “priestexx” Thom Longino, who is listed as “adjunct pastor” and “spiritual director.” A CP review of Longino’s LinkedIn profile also revealed that he is an employee of Catholic Charities San Francisco. 

A video of Longino discussing his work with homeless LGB-identified youth at San Francisco Night Ministry is featured on the YouTube page of Megan Rohrer, who made headlines in 2021 as the first openly trans-identified bishop to serve in a major denomination. Rohrer was later suspended after allegedly using “racist” language.

One of “herchurch” priestesses, Christine Konkol, identifies as a “resident witch” and is seen in a photo on the church website wearing a traditional witch’s hat. 

Described as an “open and affirming community” where all are “loved in the love of Christ-Sophia and the Great Mother of us All,” the church’s website calls “all expressions of gender identity…a blessing.” As part of its about section, its website calls “herchurch” an “emerging, liberating feminist congregation” which is “hoping to be a part of the prophetic voice of the divine feminine that will deconstruct Christianity and other patriarchal religions.”

What more evidence do Christians need to realise we are in the Biblical prophesied time of a great falling away in the church (apostasy) (2 Thessalonians 2:3). The time before Jesus returns to rapture His church and pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world. Jesus then returns to Earth to defeat the Antichrist army at the battle of Armageddon and usher in His Millennial Kingdom.

For more on Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom, go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net. This Earth has 1000 more years before God destroys it with fire. The second resurrection and the White Throne judgement follow before God creates a new Heaven and new Earth where only the righteous dwell.

The purpose of the thousand-year reign is to allow God to fulfil the promises He made with Jesus, Israel, the Saints, and the Creation to vindicate His Holy name.

Then the end will come when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power. For He must reign until He has put all of His enemies under His feet..1 Corinthians 15:24-25.

The Millennium is the 1,000-year period in which Jesus will rule this world in partnership with resurrected saints (Rev. 20:4-6). Understanding the Millennium gives us insight into what the Lord is preparing His people for.

I saw thrones, and they [saints from Rev. 19:14] sat on them, and judgment [decision making] was committed to them…and they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 6…but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6
