Introduction
Unless otherwise noted, I will be using the
Old Kings James Verison (OKJV)
In my last message, "The Kingdom of God: the First Day of Salvation", I presented the basic truth that Jesus was the first representative of the Kingdom of God. God sent Jesus to this earth to bring the gospel (good news) of Kingdom of God (Mk.1:14,15). Jesus fully completed His mission, ending in His death, burial and resurrection. The Scriptures proves that God was making a change on this earth. The nations and governments, with the leadership of this world would soon be removed (Jer.30:11; Luke 1:52). It will be taken over by Jesus Christ (Luke 1:32; Rev. 11:15) and His Saints (Rev.2:26; Dan.7:27). God is going to send Jesus Christ back from Heaven (Acts 3:19-21) for the purpose of ending the rebellion of mankind towards Him.
Secondly, God has divinely called certain people to Jesus (I Thes.1:4; John 6:44). They would be the second representatives for the Kingdom of God, having the Spirit of Christ, (Rom.8:9) and led by that Spirit (Rom.8:14). Their responsibilities are to also announce the Kingdom of God (Luke 9:2,11; Acts 20:25), and have a willingness to suffer for it (IIThes.1:5).
Thirdly, those representatives had the laws of the Kingdom of God in their minds and hearts. They are willing to bear their cross (Lk.14:27) and forsake all to follow Christ (Lk.14:33).
Finally, I explained that following Christ would lead the representatives to their location, and rewards. The Scriptures makes it clear that earth would be their location (Ps. 37:9,11,29; Matt.5:5 ) and not Heaven. As for Jesus Christ, He will be King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev.19:16). All kingdoms will belong to Him (Rev.11:15).
In like manner, the Saints would be kings, and priest (Rev.5:10) having power over the nations (Rev.2:26). They will the rule the nations under the Heavens (Dan.7:27) with Christ for a thousand years (Rev.20:4,6). This honor, and glory, Christ has given to the Saints (Ps.149:5-9; John 17:22). This is one of the messages from The Kingdom of God: The First Day of Salvation.
When Christ returns with His glorified Saints, what will it be like? My purpose in this message is to give you the answer because it is a wonderful truth.
The title of this message is:
The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saints:
The Second Day of Salvation.
In today's world, with all of its troubles, life seems hopeless. Many ask the question, "if there is an all powerful God, why doesn't He do something? Is He that weak when it comes to Satan, and his demons? Can't God control them and mankind?" These are good questions, and understandable; they deserve an answer.
For example, world leaders are unable to find a way to bring about lasting peace. Lawmakers can't stop the violence in the streets; crime is reaching population growth worldwide; and traditional family values are being thrown out the window. Rather than picking up their bibles, people are picking up guns, drugs, alcohol, illicit sex, personal hobbies, the sport pages and its games. It's idolatry for the new morality built on nihilism. Consequently, people hope such things will give them peace, security, comfort and happiness.

Consequently, people hope such things will give them peace, security, comfort and happiness.
In addition to the above, there is worldwide corruptions in politics, religion, law enforcement and in our homes. It seems Satan is winning the battle instead of God. Consequently, Satan is holding man captive through his power given to him (Job 1:12; 2:6; Luke 4:6; Rev.13:2,4).
Well, I have some good news that should encourage and give you hope. Hold on to Jesus! Listen: God is not weaker than Satan, and his demons. God will soon intervene. It will come about through Jesus Christ, the Lord God Almighty. Jesus Christ is coming back to this plant! He is going to crush this rebellion against God the Father.
This is the reason: This world is a habitation of demons (Rev.17:17). If God doesn't send Jesus to this earth, "no one would survive" (Matt.24:22) (NIV). However, God will not allow this world to be destroyed by man. It's because of His elect, the Israelites (Isa.45:4;) and the Christians (Rom.8:33; Titus 1:1). God is in charge, not Satan or man.
I want to share three things with you:
(1) The Reign of Jesus Christ.
(2) What glory will be given to the Saints?
(3) What will become of this earth?
THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST
In (Matt.28:18) Jesus said, "all power is given unto Me in Heaven and earth." How did Jesus receive this power? He did exactly what His Father told Him to do (NIV). No one who has ever lived can claim this. Jesus never sinned (IICorin. 5:21; Heb.4:15; I Pet.2:22).
After Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and ascension, He sits at the right hand of God where He must remain. However, He's coming back to this plane. Notice (Acts 3:19-21). Jesus is coming to save the world from destroying itself.
This is what He shall do: He will gather all nations against Jerusalem, and that City shall fall (Zech.14:2). Then will the nations make war with Jesus. He will overcome them because He is King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev.17:14).
When He fights against those nations (Zech.14:3) Jesus will crush their armies (Isa.34:2). Their flesh will decay while they are standing. Their eyes and tongues will decay in their holes and mouths (Zech.14:12). Their stink shall come up out their carcases, and the mountain shall be melted with their blood (Isa.34:3). The blood shall be high as the horse's bridle (Rev.14:20). Then Jesus will scatter those who delight in war (Ps.68:30) bringing it to a complete end (Ps.46:9). God will show man that he is not a god, but only a man (Isa.31:3; Ez.28:2;). The Scripture tells mankind, "prepare to meet your God" (Amos 4:12). No weapons formed against Jesus at that time will prevail (Isa.54:17). Because God is going to punish the world for its evils! (Isa.13:11). He will bring so much destruction upon the earth until only a few men will be left, as a result (Isa.13:12; 24:6). In fact, seven women will desire to have the name of one man (Isa.4:1). I am not saying these things on my own. God the Holy Spirit moved this holy man Isaiah to write these things (II Pet. 1:21) and they will not fail! (Isa.34:16).
Understand me everyone. The mentality of the past is the same mentality of today. The ego in man has led him to think he can bring about security, abundance, joy, peace and comfort in this world. Only God can do this. I will show you the proof in this message. God wants to encourage you to have hope in His Son's return. He wants you to know that His kingdom, and government will soon be set up on this earth, with Jesus Christ being King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev.19:16). The kingdoms of this world will belong to Jesus (Rev.11:15) and all will obey Him (Dan.7:27).
Nevertheless you may wonder, why must I present such grave situations? My answer to you is these are not my words, but Gods. The Father will send Jesus back to bring about The New World Government, ushering in The New World Order. It will become the Second Day of Salvation for mankind. However, God will have to make war, in order to bring about world peace. Millions will die, though. I will not suppress these truths (Rom.1:18). God has entrusted me with His gospel (good news) (I Thes.2:4).
After Jesus puts down all rebellion, and remove man's authority, He will for the first time, set up the government of God, over the whole earth. It will be a government that's on His shoulders (Isa.9:6). As King, Jesus will bring about peace. It will not be as the former world gave, but as He will give it (John 14:27). Jesus will rule for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4,6). Because of this, people will not hurt or destroy while He is ruling (Isa.11:9). The world that was deceived by Satan (Rev.12:9) and held captive by him for six thousand years, will be set free (Heb.2:14,15). Satan and his demons will be held captive for one thousand years (Rev.20:1-3). They will not be allowed to do any of their works, during Jesus' millennial reign on this earth.
However, this is not the end of the story. There is something you need to know.
In the beginning of Jesus' millennial reign, the continents will be in chaos because they were shaken by God (Hag.2:6; Heb.12:29). There will be complete devastation all over the world. Billions would have died; hundreds of millions will be seriously hurt and without shelter, water and food. I know this is a terrible picture to visualize, but it's the truth. However, Jesus Christ is a saving God. He will begin The Second Day of Salvation. Jesus will help those who are left on this earth, beginning with His elect, the Israelites (Isa.45:4). The Second Day of Salvation will come to them first, those who survived the great tribulation (Matt.24:21) Then, salvation will be offered to the Gentiles survivors who survived also.
However, because of such destruction, many would believe that the world would not be able to sustain life, as a result. This theory is incorrect. "Is anything to hard for Lord"? (Gen.18.14;Jer.32:26). Cannot God who created all things deliver this world from this condition? (Isa.50:2). It would be impossible for man to substain himself, but God can and will (Matt.19:26).
Let's begin to see what God is going to do during this Second Day of Salvatoin for mankind. It is a beautiful plan. It begins with Israel.
Before Jesus begins to restore this world to a correct condition before the fall of man, notice what He will do: All the Israelites that are left, Jesus will set His hand a second time to save them (Isa.11:11). This Scripture refers to the first time He came, but Jesus was not received by Israel (John 1:11). Now, this will be the second time Jesus reaches out them. In compassion, He will plead with them face to face in the wilderness (Ez.20:35,36). Their hearts will begin to burn within themselves, as Jesus opens the Scriptures to them regarding Himself (Luke 24:32). He then will begin giving them His peace (John 14:27) and encouragement. The respresentatives in The First Day of Salvation had received had this same encouragement (II Corin.1:4). The Israelites will realize their sins, ask forgiveness, and truly be ready to repent. Jesus, in His goodness, will grant them repentance (Rom.2:4) because He has power to forgive sins (Matt.9:6). It's because Jesus has an everlasting love for the Israelites (Jer.31:3). All their sins will be forgiven (Rom.11:26).
After repenting, and being baptized in Jesus' name, God will give them the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). The Spirit will be with them and in them (John 14:17). Then, will the Israelites say, "all that the Lord say we will do" (Ex.24:7). This time they will mean it, and not fail. Jesus will have their allegiance to Him (John 4:24), and they will become His triumph to display to the Gentiles (II Corin.2:17). The Greek word for "triumph" is thriambeuo meaning "to make an acclamatory procession" [Strong's Concordance]. The Second Day of Salvation will have started for mankind. It will begin with Israel.
Notice what will happen when Israel receive the Holy Spirit from God: Like Saul, they will become another people (I Sam.10:6). God will give them another heart (I Sam.10:9) so that their minds will be open to understand, and see the mess they made.
The Israelites will understand the deceptions Satan, and how they followed him (Rev.12:9). They will realize that they were being led by demonic forces, through learning , and practicing the heathen customs of Gentile nations (Ps.106:35,39).
Consequently, being ashame, they will humble themselves and never open their mouths again (Ez.16:61,63). Why? Because they rejected Jesus not only when He came the first time (John 1:11) but they rejected His message (John 8:45) His respresentatives (Acts 5:38-40) and resisted the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51). Therefore, they will remember their evil ways, and lothe themselves (Ez.36:31).
Consequently, being ashame, they will humble themselves and never open their mouths again (Ez.16:61,63). Why? Because they rejected Jesus not only when He came the first time (John 1:11) but they rejected His message (John 8:45) His respresentatives (Acts 5:38-40) and resisted the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51). Therefore, they will remember their evil ways, and lothe themselves (Ez.36:31).
As a result, Jesus will begin to spiritually bless His people, by putting His laws into their minds and hearts through the Holy Spirit and through a New Covenant (Heb.8:6,10). This was prophesied to happen many years earlier (Jer.31:31-34). However, Jesus will bless Israel physically, too. Notice the prophecies regarding Jerusalem that was destroyed by armies in the great tribulation.
The word says that Jerusalem will become like the Garden of Eden (Isa.51:3). Can you imagine that? There will be great joy, and singing in their land. However, Jerusalem is only the fore-runner of the heavenly Jerusalem that was prophesied to come from Heaven (Rev.21:2). Nevertheless, there are physical blessings and promises to follow.
Since the Israelites acknowledged their sins, and repented, Jesus will heal their land (II Chron.7:14) by watching over, and also caring for it (Deut.11:12). He will give the rain in due season, in order for the land to yield its increase (Lev.26:4; Isa.30:23). The food supply will be so blessed by Jesus (Ps.132:15) until the abundance will be overwhelming!
Notice this physical blessing: The reaper will be overtaken by the plowman, and the treader of grapes, by the one who sow the seeds (Amos 9:13). In addition to the above, Jesus will once again give Israel gold, and silver (Ez.16:17) that He had taken away (Hosea 2:9). Jerusalem will be rich in every way! This is the reason:
It will be Jesus' resting place, where He dwells (Ps.132:13,14). His Throne will be there (Jer.3:17). The sole of His feet will be on the ground, in Jerusalem (Ez.43:7) and it shall be glorious! (Isa. 60:13).
Contrary to popular theology, Jesus will not be in Heaven ruling this earth! He will be in Zion (Joel 3:21) which is Jerusalem (I Chron.11:4,6,7). When He comes, His feet will stand on the mount of Olives (Zech.14:4). It's the very location Jesus left when He went back to Heaven in a cloud (Acts 1:9-12). From this same location, Jesus will move on to Jerusalem, and this city will be the world capital for all nations. Jesus Christ will be King!

From this same location, Jesus will move on to Jerusalem, and this city will be the world capital for all nations. Jesus Christ will be King!
God the Holy Spirit wants me to proclaim this message throughout the world. The world's governments will be on His shoulders; it will be His Empire! (Isa.9:6). He shall be the top governor among the nations (Ps.22:28). Rulership will be from the top down, and not the opposite way. The people will not be able to say whom they desire to rule over them. There will be no more election campaigns. No more fund-raising dinners. No more dirty political campaigns. No more backroom deals. No more assassinations of political leaders. Mankind would have proven their inability to rule themselves, through the possibility of annihilating every living thing on this earth (Matt.24:22).
God wants mankind to understand man is under a curse. He has transgressed the laws of God, changed His ordianances, and broken the everlasting covanant (Isa.24:5,6). It's cause and effect. Everyday, people are violating God's laws. Those laws which are holy and spiritual and ordain for life, have become death for mankind (Rom.7:10,12,14). Those laws are eating mankind alive!
Before, God overlooked this ignorance, but the time has come for all the world to repent! (Acts 17:30). Because God is going to send Jesus back (Acts 3:20) with absolute authority from Him (Matt.28:18) to judge this planet in righteousness (Acts 17:31). The holy writings of these prophecies are sure and true (Isa.34:16).
In the face of all that I have shared with you, perhaps the question is this: Where will the Saints fit in all of the above? Will Christ do all the work by Himself? This will lead to my next point.
What glory will be given to the Saints?
Peter once said to Jesus, they (the disciples) had given up everything to follow Him. So Peter ask, "what would they get"? (Matt.19:27). Jesus said, in the regeneration, when He is sitting on His throne of glory, they will sit on twelve thrones judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel (Matt.19:28).
The Greek word for regeneration is paliggenesia meaning, "spiritual renovation" (Strong's Concordance). The Syraic correctly stated,
"in the new age or world" (Thayer's Greek and English Lexicon). The Greek word for judging is "krino", meaning "to distinguish, i.e. decide (mentally or judicially); to try, condemn, punish" etc (Strong's Concordance). Or, to rule, govern, to preside over with power of giving judicial decisions (Thayer's Greek and English Lexicon).
Therefore, Jesus was telling His apostles, and the Saints, that in the spiritual renovation of the new world, they will be the ones who can distinguish mentally, to try, or condemn while ruling with judicial power over the twelve tribes of Israel who survived the great tribulation. Consequently, they will be judges on this earth in The New World Government. Through Jesus' leadership, The New World Order will be established in which Saints will uphold. They will have power over the nations of Israel, with absolute authority from Christ (Rev.2:26),
However, their title is even greater for them in God's government. They will be kings and priest, reigning on this earth (Rev.5:10). For this reason, Jesus said to His disciples, "where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:3). Jesus is not going to be up in Heaven ruling this earth, as the Scriptures has shown. God, through His word, has shown you this truth in this message. Nor will the Saints be there. You will see these proofs shortly.
The Holy Spirit, who taught apostle John to write these things wants you to know these truths. Do not doubt. Believe God's representatives! Popular theology constantly preaches that the Saints go to Heaven. This is a bogus doctrine! They will not go to Heaven, and live forever. Earth will be our habitation. Earth will be the headquaters for the universe, after it has been purified by fire. New Jerusalem will be the captial (Rev.21:2) the city that God The Father has prepared for His Saints (Heb.11:21). God Himself will be in the midst of His children, on this earth! (Rev.21:3).
Notice (II Pet.3:10-13). The word melt in the Greek is "luo" meaning loosen break (up) destroy, dissolve (Strong's Concordance). The word dissolve means "to reduce solid matter to liquid form." In physics, we learn how matter changes from liquid to a gas. However, when fire comes from God on this earth, it also changes from matter to a liquid. Due to the fire from God, melting occures. When it cools down, it changes back to solid matter.
For this reason, the earth is not going to be removed (Ps.104:5; it's been fix in place by God (Ps. 96:10)). The earth will only be purified by fire from God, like silver is melted and purified in a furance of earth seven times (Ps.12:6).
For example, when silver has been heated to a high degree , it changes into a liquid. After it changes back into matter. This will happen to the earth. It is where God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit will live and rule the universe.
I didn't mean to get off the subject regarding Jesus, and the Saints millennial reign. However, such truths needs to be taught to the world. I am not afraid to tell you the truth because God has entrusted me with this responsibility (I Thes.2:4).
With (Rev.5:10) the word kings in the Greek is basileus meaning, "a foundation of power; a sovereign; king"(Strong's Concordance). The word priests in the Greek is hiereus meaning, they (the Saints) devote their lives to Him (God) alone and to Christ (Thayer's Greek and English Lexicon) .
Consequently, this verse would be understood as, the Saints have a foundation of power, being sovereign, and kings. They are priests, devoted to God their Father and Jesus Christ their Savior, Lord and King.
Thus far, I have referred to the rulership of Jesus Christ, and the apostles. You may ask, what about the rest of the Saints: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? What about Joseph, Moses, King David, and Elijah? Well God has given us glimpes of their rulership and possible responsibilities.
Remember, God's government will be from the top down. Jesus will be under God the Father. Next in line, it will be Abraham because Jesus promised him that he will be heir of the world through faith (Rom.4:13) and the father of many nations (Gen.17:4).
The Greek word heir in (Rom.4:13) is kleronomos meaning a "possessor" (Strong's Concordance). Or "of government over the world" [Thayer's Greek - English Lexicon]. The promise was passed on to Isaac (Gen.26:3) and then to Jacob (Gen.28:13). The three are alway grouped together (Mk.12:26) and are called the fathers (Deut.1:8). They will be glorified together (Luke 13:28) during "The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ". Therefore, the three will be rulers of the governments over the world, under Christ.
Regarding Joseph, the son of Jacob, he could be over the agricultural industry in the millennium. This responsibility was given to him by Pharaoh over all Egypt (Gen.41:41,47-49). He was still overseeing this agricultural industry, at his death (Gen.50:21,26). Therefore, with his experience, he could possibly oversee the world's food I supply.
What about Moses? We know that he was raised by Pharaoh's daughter, and became her son (Ex.2:10). Moses was trained in the wisdom of Egypt's government (Acts 7:22). Josephus, the historian, stated that Moses "was appointed general of the army against the Ethiopians" [Works of Josephus, Vol. II].
God appointed Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt (Ex.3:10). Through Moses' father-in-law, God helped him to learn how to share the responsibility of government (Ex.18:-26). Finally, God gave Moses His laws that he, and the Israelites were to obey (Ex.20:4-17). Since Moses had such training in government, perhaps under Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he will represent and enforce the Laws and government of God in the millennium. This was his responsibility, during his mortal life on earth.
Elijah was a person who had the responsibility of turning the hearts of the people back to God (I Kings 18:37). This was throughout his ministry, and he was still promforming it after being taken up in a whirlwind into the sky, years later. He did not go up into the third Heaven, where God dwells. The proof is found in (II Chron.21:12) when Elijah sent a condemning letter to the wicked king Jehoram. Elijah was condemning him because he had turned from God. Perhaps Elijah will be over the people showing them the correct way to worship God, and keeping them from committing idoltry.
The transfiguration of Moses, and Elijah pictured their glorified positions in the New World Government (Matt.17:1-3). Remember, it was a "vision" of their future glories. It says nothing about Moses, and Elijah being in Heaven. No one had gone there (John 3:13), up to that point in Jesus' time.
I have to stop here, in order to explain what this transfiguration represented, and that word "vision" in verse 9 when Jesus said "tell the 'vision' to no man...." This is very important to know and understand.
Earlier, before this took place, as I said before, in (Matt.19:27) Peter said to Jesus that they had given up everything to follow Him, therefore what will they have in return? Jesus told them that when He shall sit on the throne of His glory, they will also sit upon twelve thrones judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel (Matt.19:28).
However, they would need a motivation, in order to keep them moving forward with Him. That motivation was the transfiguration of His face and clothing (Matt.17:2). Matthew who wrote this book was told by Peter, James and John, standing with Jesus appeared Moses and Elijah. How Peter was able to say Moses and Elijah's names, it's never found in Scripture. One thing is sure, both of these men were still dead, and not in heaven, as it is taught by theologians. Because if these two men were in Heaven, then, Jesus lied when He said no man had gone to Heaven (John 3:13). This would make the Apostle Peter a lier also because he said King David did not go up to Heaven (Acts 2:34).
The Greek meaning of this word "vision" in English in (Matt.17.9) is " a sight divinely granted in an ecstacy" [Thayer's Greek and English Lexicon].
"A supernatural sight" [ Strong's Exhaustive Concordance].
"A picture formed into the mind of future greatness" [ The New Lexicon Webster's Encycopedic Dictionary of the English Language].
Consequently, after seeing the resurrection of Jesus' dead body brought back to life, and having the picture of that future greatness formed into their minds, and being filled with the power of holy spirit, these reasons became a strong motivation for them to continue. You needed to know these things because it is suppressed and not being taught.
King David was a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22). He will be resurrected from being dead, and made king over all Israel (Jer.30:9; Ez.34:23,24; Hosea 3:5). The twelve apostles will be under him.
I have tried to be clear in this message to the world, by staying close to Scripture. I pray that this message is encouraging and helpful, inspiring hope for the return of Jesus Christ rulership. However you may ask, "what about the rest of the Saints, then and today?" God the Holy Spirit has not left this question unanswered? He will show you. Notice the answer:
The Hebrew word for inherit in (Ps.37:9.11) is yaresh meaning, "to occuppy (by driving out previous tenants, and possessing in their place; to magistrate". The previous tenants and controllers of the earth were the politicians, and generals who almost destroyed life on this planet (Matt.24:22). Therefore, the Saints who were called (I Corin.1:2,24) through divine selection (I Thes.1:4) will be blessed to possess the earth as magistrates (Ps.37:22). They will be grouped with Abraham, Moses, David the Apostles and others, as rulers over the kingdoms on earth.
In the book of Daniel, you will see futher proof of this. Read Daniel 7:27. Again, I repeat, the Saints will not be in Heaven. They will be on this earth ruling the nations. This is what the prophets, the apostles, and the disciples of the early church believed, taught and died for these beliefs. The doctrine of going to Heaven, to spend eternity is a doctrine of demons. It's not what God the Holy Spirit taught to the prophets, the apostles, and their disciples. God wants you to see these proofs, and deliver you from being unlearned His word. Going to Heaven, to spend eternity is being taught to millions of Christians who are unskilled in God's word. It's heretical, and a doctrine of demons, through departing from the faith that was once delivered to the Saints (I Tim.4:1; Jude 3). God is using me to cry aloud, and not spear (Isa.58:1) when it comes to His truths. It is not right to hold back the truth (Rom.1:18). Yet, many theologians know that what I am teaching is the truth, but they will not tell their congregations.
You who are reading this message are encouraged to do as Iranaues instructed:
"What if there should be a dispute about some matter of moderate importance? Should we not turn to the oldest churches, where the apostles themselves were known, and find out ...the clear and certain answer to the problem now being raised?" [Irenaeus: Against All Heresies, Bk.1: The Tradition Of The Apostles].
The apostles are not here; however, I have shown you their written words earlier in this message.
Now notice what the other Christian leaders wrote: "The righeous shall bear rule upon their rising from the dead. " [Irenaeus: Against All Heresies, Bk.5 Ch. 33:292]. Furthermore he states, "The righteous shall reign in the earth. Those left upon the earth shall be under the rule of the Saints." [ Irenaeus Bk.5, Ch. 35: 321, 322].
"Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world, as Paul teaches?"
[Ignatius to the Philippians Ch. 11]. Paul said this in (I Corin.6:2).
"We shall also reign with Him, provided if we believe" [Polycarp to the Philippians Ch.5].
You may be wondering, who are these men? I have never heard of them. I will inform you who they were because theologians will not let you know what they taught.
Ignatius and Polycarp were disciples of apostle John who taught them these truths. They were ordain Bishops by the Apostles. Iranaeus, was a disciple of Polycarp who taught him what he had learned from the apostle John. I shall continue.
"We shall live and be lords of the earth...giving orders and having dominion [Barnabas Ch.6:16,17].
Barnabas, and Paul's were Apostles, (Acts 14:14) and companions before they seperated (Acts 12:26; 15:37-39). Nevertheless, this is what the ancient church taught and believed and died for. They never taught going to Heaven to live there forever. This doctrine that the anicent church taught was wonderful news for the Saints, at that time. But today, this information is being withheld from the people. This is sad because it's so beautiful. It's written in church history for Christians in these last days.
The purpose was to give encouragement in our troubles (II Corin.1:4) joy in our trials (Jas.1:2) and hope through experience (Rom.5:4). It leads to a godly sorrow for sinning, and the power to do what's right (II Corin.6:10,11).
Now that it has been established, and the location of the Saints, what will they be doing to help Christ? Will they be idle during Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, This Second Day of Salvation?
Remember, earlier we learned that the earth will be in chaos, completely devastated. Beginning with Israelite survivors, the Lord will gather them from around world, and bring them into their own land (Ez.36:24). This will be Jerusalem. They will be fed, clothed and given shelter. The glorified Saints who are now immortal beings, and new rulers of the earth will handle this task. Out of compassion, during their mortal lives, they fed the hungry, gave shelter, and clothing to people (Isa.58:7; Matt.25:35,36). Jesus didn't forget their labor of love they showed towards His name (Heb.6:10). It will be the work of the Lord in their hearts (I Corin.15:58).
In addition to the above, the glorified, immortal Saints will lovingly execute judgment (Ps.149:5-9) telling the Israelites, Jesus' laws are the way to live, walk in them (Isa.30:21). This thing they will do, as I have shown earlier in this message. However, all who stubbornly go contrary to the laws of Christ, the Saints who were called and chosen, will remain faithful to Christ (Rev.17:14). They will correct the disobedience, because their own obedience had been fulfilled (I Corin.10:6) in their mortal lives. This glory and honor will be given to the Saints (John 17:22; Ps.149:9). Because no more will the Saints be pushed into a corner (Isa.30:20) nor will any weapons formed against them will prevail (Isa.54:17).
Everyone of you in the world, pay attention to what I am saying: God is sending the Kingdom of Heaven to this planet. It will be "THE New World Government , establishing THE New World Order! It will be under the leadership of Jesus Christ, and His Chosen Ones who are faithful to Him (Rev.17:14). Jesus will lovingly care for all people consistently, during His millennial reign on this earth. However, this foolish rebellion towards God's laws will not be tolerated! But before this takes place, God has called me to warn the world about what He is going to do (Ez.33:1-5).
What will become of this earth?
Society will be different. There will be no more corrupted judges. No more corrupted politicians. No more corrupt, and deceiving religious leaders. No more weaponds of mass destruction; they will be destroyed (Ez.39:9). There will be no more wars (Ps.46:9). The people who survived the great tribulation will not be allow to hurt anyone, during this Second Day of Salvation for mankind (Isa.11:9). In order to accomplish this, other survivors who are the Gentiles, will need to be reeducated.
The Gentiles will be in a state of disarray. They will come out of hiding in the mountains (Isa. 2:19) after fleeing from the King of Glory (Ps.68:1). They will hear about the blessings God has performed in Israel (Ez.36:35). Being hungry, and needing proper shelter, they will seek out the Jews for help (Isa.14:1; Zech.8:23). These particular Gentiles will want the same blessings. The Jews will point those Gentiles to the Great, and Glorified King Jesus. He will teach them His ways (Isa.2:3; Micah 4:2). This would mean those Gentiles will need to be reeducated from the corrupt wisdom of Satan ( Ez.28:17; Jas.3:14-14) to the wisdom from above (Jas.3:17,18) that's flowing in Jerusalem. Christ is that wisdom (I Corin.1:24). However, not all the Gentiles will be convinced after this destruction, that is to want God's rule, or way of life. These Gentiles will be angry, and regroup later for war. Read Ezekiel 38 and 39.
The question is, how will the rebellious Gentiles I spoke about become convinced that Jesus' way is right, although they will need His help? Because of all the destruction that had taken place on earth, and so many had died, they will not trust this Mighty King Jesus. The convincing will come from the glorified Saints. They will be proof that the ways of Jesus works, if believed and followed. Let me stop here for a moment to explain some deep truths that Satan doesn't want you to know, and theologians suppress (Rom.1:18).
The Saints will be priests of a new chosen "race"(Greek Interlinear), who are royal, immortal, eternal beings through God (I Pet.2:9). As God made Moses a god before Pharaoh (Ex.4:16; 7:1), the Saints will be like gods to the survivors of the tribulation (John 10:34:). This was prophesied years ago to happen (Ps.82:6). Notice what Irenaeus acknowledged about being gods. As I said before, He was the disciple taught by Polycarp, who was a disciple of the apostle John.
"God stood in the congregation of the gods, He judges among the gods." But which gods [does He speaks]? Of those to whom He says, "I have said, You are gods, and all sons of the Most High." To those, no doubt, who have received the grace of the "adoption by which we cry, Abba Father." [ Irenaeus: Against All Heresies: Bk.3; Ch.VI ].
Understand me everyone. Because the Saints received the glory given to them from God through Christ (John 17:22), they too will have the power to open the Gentile's minds to the Scriptures as Jesus did (Luke 24:27.32).
For example, as pastors, the Saints will impart knowledge and understanding to them (Jer.3:15). They will explain because of Adam's disobedience, God seperated Himself from man, and sentenced Adam's children to set up their own governments, religion, and educational systems. They will them that until Jesus' second return, mankind will be under the sway of Satan, and his demons, who will deceive them (Rev.12:9) keeping them in a state of rebellion against God, and His laws.
Therefore, after mankind had suffered to the point of self anihilation (Matt.24:21,22), God had to send the Savior Jesus, His Son, to save mankind from themselves. Without Jesus, man could do nothing (John 15:5). He is completely helpless.
The Gentile's hearts will be pricked upon hearing this (Acts 2:37) to the point of sorrow and repentance (II Corin.7:9). Consequently, like Job, they will abhor themselves, repent (Job 42:6) and ask forgiveness of their sins. Repentance will be granted to them (Rom.2:4) because the Judge of all the earth will do right (Gen.18:25). It's because Jesus is a Just God and Savior (Isa.45:21). Therefore, salvation is sent to these Gentiles also, and they will hear God (Acts 28:28).
After repentance, baptism and accepting the blood of Jesus for their justification (Rom.5:9) and as their personal Savior because He's lives (Rom.5:10), God will give them the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). They would have interred into the blood covenant of Jesus Christ. However, in order to keep the Holy Spirit with them, and in them (John 14:17) they must maintain obedience (Acts 5:32) to God, and His laws.
As a result of these Gentile's conversion, they will also say, "all that the Lord say, we will do" (Ex.24:7). "Come, let us go up to the nation of the Lord (that will be in Jeruslem) ....and He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths..." (Micah 4:2) because in Him we will trust (Rom.15:12).
These Gentiles are now into the New Covenant through the blood of Jesus, and His broken body (I Corin.11:24-26). They would have interred into The Second Day of Salvation with the Israelites.
Understand everyone: Some of you, like Noah, are about to live in two worlds. This current one that is about to die, and into the new wonderful world tomorrow that's coming in the future. This is the gospel of the Kingdom of God (Mk.1:14,15) that Jesus brought to the world.
However, something strange will have happen to the Israelites and the Gentiles, after Jesus comes to take over the nations. All the survivors will speak the same language. This will be through a divine miracle that was prophecied to happen, centuries earlier (Zeph.3:9). I will explain.
Thousands of years ago, after the flood on earth, the decendents of Noah, spoke one language (Gen.11:1,6). The people had become rebellious again, by wanting to build a tower that would reach up into the clouds (Gen.11:4). The idea was to excape any flood, if God sent another one. However, God changed this one language, and made the people to speak different languages, so they could not understand one another (Gen.11:7). Then God scattered them all over the earth (Gen.11:9).
However, during the Second Day of Salvation," The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saints" the converted people will call upon the Lord in one language (Zeph.3:9). It will be one world, and one way to follow. That way will be God's laws.
As a result, family values will began to grow, by way of the Holy Spirit. Love will replace hatred. Acceptance will replace bigotry. Compassion will replace the neglected. Cooperation will replace competition. Building up families will replace tearing them down. Good marriges will replace shacking. Good health will replace diseases. The work ethic will replace crime. Faith will replace doubt. Worshipping the true God will replace the god of the old age, Satan (II Corin.4:4). Most of the whole world's allegiance will be for Jesus. Notice, I said "most".
The next miracle that takes place is in the heavens." The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter" (Isa.30:26) [NIV]. Another translation says it this way: "The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days concentrated in one" [AMP]. In other words, there will be no more darkness on the earth. Daylight will never cease during "The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saint."
For example, darkness represents the continuous powers of Satan and his ruling wicked spirits today (Eph.6:12). They deceived the old world and its governments (Rev.12:9) through the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (I John 2:16). This is a spirit of diobedience from Satan the devil, and it fills the air today. Notice the proof of this in the air: "in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Eph.2:2). The Greek word for "air" is aer meaning, "the ruler of the powers (spirits) in the air, i.e. the devil, the prince of the demons that according to Jewish opinion fill the realm of air" [Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon]. This spirit has led mankind into poverty, sickness, heartache and hatred, leading to world wars, and not peace, ending in death for millions. Satan, and his evil "throne", meaning "covered throne" in the Hebrew (Isa.14:13), and his demons will be removed for one thousand years (Rev.20:1,2).
On the other hand, the continuous daylight represents Jesus, the light of the world (John 8:12). In Him, there was no darkness (I John 1:5). He will bring in The New World Government of God, with The New World Order of peace because Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isa.9:6). Consequently, while Jesus is ruling that peace will never end (Isa.9:7). For the Spirit of the Lord will once again move upon the face of the earth (Gen.1:2). The Hebrew word for "moved" is raqchats meaning, brood, by impl. "to be relaxed". The meaning of brood is "focus attention on a subject persistently" [The American Heritage College Dictionary].
Jesus Christ detest wrongdoing because His throne is established in righteousness (Prov.16:12) [NIV]. The Spirit of the Lord will replace the spirit of Satan, until all the earth is filled with His Glory (Num.14:21) as the waters covers the sea (Hab.2:14). Jesus' glory will be seen within the Israelites, and the Gentile converts who has the Holy Spirit.
The third miracle that will take place has to do with the nature of animals. No longer will the animals be wild, and flesh eating. The carnivorous animals, like the bears, lions, and wolves will once again eat straw as the lamb and cow. They will dwell together in peace (Isa.11:6,7).
Next, healing will take place in the waters. For example, the Dead Sea will become drinkable, and filled with fish (Ez.47:8,9). Other waters that were polluted by the industry during the old world governments, will be made cleaned by The New World Government of God.
Another miracle is the healing of the land. All desert soils such as the Sahara in North Africa, and the Gobi in north of China will disappear by blossoming as the rose (Isa.35:1,2). They will become green with grass, and liveable due to streams of waters (Isa.35:6,7). People will be able to farm, with no problem with insects (Mal.3:11). Jesus will cause the cedar, the myrtle, and the olive trees to grow in such places (Isa.41:18-20). As the sun, and moon gives continuous daylight (Isa.30:26), and rain coming at the proper season (Lev.26:4), the soil will be so rich, that earth will yeild her increase (Ps.67:4-6; Ps.132:15). It's because the deserts lands will become cultivatable at that time. However, let me show you more wonders to occur during the reign of Christ.
Scientist realize that the majority or the world's wealth is under the sea. Notice what Jesus Christ will do: "The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea....so that men can cross over in sandals" (Isa.11:15). "the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come" (Isa.60:5) [NIV].
Another translation says it this way: "The Lord will utterly destroy (doom and dry up) the tongue of the Egyptian sea".... "and will cause men to cross over dry-shod" (Isa.11:15). "The wealth of the [Dead] Sea shall be turned to you..." (Isa.60:5) [AMP].
G.T.B Davis wrote in 1935 "One is almost staggered by the computed wealth of the chemical salts of the Dead Sea. The waters of the Dead Sea contain important chemicals....It's ...potential value of potash, bromine...four times the wealth of the United States" [The Rebuilding of Palestine].
God is going to dry up rivers of Egypt so that men can walk on dry ground to get the wealth which will be exposed. There could be gold, silver, dimonds and oil.
At this point in this message, I need to explain something to you: Because so many people died in the great tribulation (Isa.24:6), the earth will need to be repopulated. Ruined cities will need to be rebuilt. Notice what God says about these ruins: "Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt... building that have laid waste for many generations:" (Isa.58:12) [AMP]. "This land that was desolate is become like the Garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and inhabited" (Ez.36:35).
People life span in the old world was about seventy-five to eighty years old. However, there were babies and children who died when only a few days old, or lived only a couple of years. In the new world notice what will happen: "There shall no more be in it (the new world) an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who dies prematurely; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner who dies when only a hundred years old shall be [thought only a child, cut off because he is] accursed. For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people" (Isa.65:20,22) [AMP]. Another version says it this way: "No longer will babies die when only a few days old; no longer will men be considered old at 100! Only sinners will die that young. For my people will live as long as trees...." [L.B.].
People will live to be very old, many years pass one-hundred years. Because of clean water, clean air, good soil, plenty of sunshine, and obeying God's laws, notice what will happen: "I will put none of these diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians:"(Ex.15:26). This would mean that they would have good health, without getting sick.
During the early period of the millennium, the remaining Gentiles armies that came against Israel for plunder (Ez.38:10-12) were scattered (Ps.68:30), and many were destroyed (Ez.38:22). It will take seven months to bury their bodies (Ez.39:12), and seven years to burn their instruments of war (Ez.39:9).
This is the sad thing about their decision: They saw Jesus coming in great power and glory (Matt.24:30). They saw the Heavenly signs of continuous daylight (Isa.30:26). They saw the nature of wild animals had changed (Isa.11:6,7). They heard all the different races speaking the same language, and understanding one another, including themselves! (Zeph.3:9). It was something they couldn't explain, nor did they consider this phenomenal. They even knew Jesus Christ was in Jerusalem sitting on His Throne (Jer.3:17), however, they had not accepted Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords (I Tim.6:15; Rev.19:16). Consequently, the remaining Gentile armies attacked Israel, and were destroyed (Ez.39:1-7). This is why I said "most".
NOTE: These dead soldiers will live again in The Great White Throne Judgment: The Third And Final Day of Salvation. They will come up with the rest of the dead (Rev.20:5). I will explain this in my next message that will follow.
Finally, during The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saints, everyone who survived the great tribulation will go up to Jerusalem to worship King Jesus , the Lord of host. They will keep the Feast of Tabernacles every year (Zech.14:16). Are you surprised at this Scripture? The Lord's Holy Days that was done away under the New Covenant (Eph.2:14,15; Heb.8:6-13) will be reinstituted during Jesus' Millennial Reign (Ez.45:17-25; 46:9). All will observe the Lords feast days (Lev.23.2). The Feast of Tabernacles is only one of seven that will be observed. You will find them in (Leviticus 23).
However, notice what the prophet says about this feast: Those who do not come to Jerusalem and worship the King, the Lord of host, will receive no rain Zech.14:17). If people still refuse, after receiving no rain, plagues will follow (Zech.14:18). It will be sin for all not to worship the King (Zech.14:19). The seventh day sabbath will also be kept (Isa.66:23: Ez.46:1). It's because Saturday, the seventh day is the correct day of worship, not Sunday, the first day.
Notice what Irenaeus a disciple of Polycarp wrote: "the seventh day, which has been sanctified, in which God rested from all the works which He created, which is the true Sabbath of the righteous..."
[Irenaeus: Against All Heresies, Bk.3; Ch. 32: 287). I will explain more about the sabbath in a future message.
To conclude, it is prophesied that "every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the honor and glory of God the Father" (Isa.45:23: Phil.2:9-11). While Jesus and His Saints are reigning, there will be a thousand years of peace and safty, leading to an abundance of wealth and comfort on this earth. It will come through " The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saints: The Second Day of Salvation" for mankind.
Now, for some closing remarks. I realize you have received a great deal of informati0n. This was necessary, in order for you to see the beauty in "God's Plan Of Salvation For All Mankind". Consequently, everyone who is reading this message is being exposed to "the former things from the beginning, before it come to pass..."But now He has used me to "show you new things, even hidden things you did not know" (Isa.48:3,5,6).
I hope and pray that God has allowed you to see that today is not the only day of salvation, as it is taught (II Corin.6:2). In this verse 6, the word "the" should be "a" [Greek Interlinear]. This verse is taken from (Isa.49:8) that says "a" day which is correct. The word "a" means, "the first in a series" [American Heritage College Dictionary]. This preposes that something is to follow. The thing that will follow The First Day of Salvation is The Second Day of Salvation. This is what my message is all about. Nevertheless, if it were true as popular theology teaches, "this is the only day of salvation", how could these prophecies take place? They could not be fulfilled. Therefore, God, Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit would be liars. You know they are no liars like men (Num.23:19) because it is impossible for Him to lie (Heb.6:18)
God is not trying to save this world, that is it's"orderly arrangements". This earth has become a habitation of demons, and every foul spirit (Rev.18:2). The Kingdom of Heaven is coming to crush this wicked society! and set up the Kingdom of God on this earth.
I know there will be many who will not believe this report (Isa.53:1), rejecting the message and the messenger. Then, there may be some who will. However, for those who reject this message, I can understand why. This the reason:
What God have given me to give to the world goes contrary to popular theology. This message exposes the false doctrine that the Saints will go to Heaven, and spend eternity there. Thousands of theologians who attended the seminary, are teaching their parishioners this bogus doctrine, and they know better. The Scriptures I have given to you, many of these theologians already have knowledge of them. Nevertheless, they whole back the truth (Rom.1:18). However, I am sure there are sincere theologians who have a deep love for God, but do not know about the truths in this message. They consider it strange (Hosea 8:12) and different from accepted theology. Therefore, they teach only what was taught to them, or what they believe to be true.
Then those who did attend the seminary, and heard what was being taught, notice many things were contrary to the word of God, but never challenge the instructors. But now that they have finished school, I ask, why don't they teach the truth? What is the truth? The word of God (John 17:17). Let God be true, and every man a liar (Rom.3:4) because it is impossible for God to lie (Heb.6:18).
Pehaps you may think my words are too harsh, and I shouldn't speak this way. I don't mean to appear harsh, but all the forces of hell are against this message that God has given me for the world. Believe me everyone, I have love, and compassion for you all. I have you in my heart, and want you to know the truth that will free you from erroneous doctrines.
To present this message, I had to pray, and ask God the Holy Spirit to guide me through His inspired word, so that you can receive the truth. With His guidence, you have received Scripture after Scripture in an orderly fashion, drawing a picture regarding the coming Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and His Saints: The Second Day of Salvation on this earth.
Consequently, what God has given you in this message, He has thought and purposed (Isa.14:24). Regardless what we may think, His counsel shall stand, as God does His pleasure (Isa.46:10).
My next message will focus on (Rev.20:5), "the rest of the dead ". Who will be "the rest of the dead"? It will be people who (1) Never heard of Jesus Christ. (2) They never received the Holy Spirit. (3) They never heard about salvation. Will they be resurrected after a thousand years, only to be thrown into the lake of fire, as it is taught in popular theology? Are they lost, and doom to burn forever, screaming from pain with no releaf for all eternity?
The title of my next message on salvation is:
The Great White Throne Judgment : The Third And Final Day Of Salvation.
