Jesus' Millennium Reign: The Greatest Harvest of Souls Ever.

[robert derrick]

Some of those, that don't believe in Christ's Millennium on earth, show their personal issue with it, but asking why would He want to? Why would any resurrected saint want to? Afterall, they don't want to.

Their attitude is to just get all those unbelievers burnt up by fire already, and go on to the new heaven and earth.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

The Millennium of Christ is for one purpose, and it's not to rule over reprobates with rods of iron.

It will be the greatest harvest of souls unto the Lord ever on earth, far surpassing all the thousands of years gone before.

 

[robert derrick]

He and His resurrected saints will be personally ministering His gospel of salvation, without the devil having any say in the matter.

The spirit of wrath to see fire come down from heaven, and destroy them not walking exactly like us, whether they be neighborly or not, was rebuked by Jesus with John, is still rebuked today, and will be rebuked when He comes again.

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

Salvation is always why He is coming to earth, for He so loves the world, and would have all men saved.

If all He wanted to do was to burn up the earth and everyone therein, He could have done so at any time, and will do so after the thousand years are expired. Then the fire of God will come down, and have done with the last of the rebels on earth.

So, for all those who want to skip His Millennium, and just get on with the fiery burning of all unbelievers, have patience. That time will come.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

In the meantime, In sight of all men, the Lord will have some personal saving work of His own ministry to do on earth, and as Maxwell Smart would say, "And loving it!"

Afterall, for the Lord and His resurrected saints, it will only be as one day anyway. I mean, why begrudge Him being King over all the earth for a day? Hasn't anyone heard of the desire to be king for a day?

We just need to make sure what manner of spirit we are of, and who's side we're really on.

I agree, but not with the characterization that "ruling with a rod of iron" is a bad thing. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that?

Some think that Christian rule in the Millennium is worldly, and actually takes place now, as Christians display righteousness in the face of evil, overcoming in the process. However, the Millennial concept of "ruling with iron rods" indicates that God, angels, and glorified saints are sort of prosecuting attorneys in a big court room in the sky, preventing any more satanic displays on earth that prevent God's promises from coming to fulfillment.

But you're right. One of those promises is that God will give Abraham an enormous harvest, not just from Israel but from the whole world. That harvest has been taking place throughout NT history, but like Jesus said, "the harvest is white, but the laborers are few." Why are those laborers few? It is because, I think, of satanic opposition. It is difficult to want to labor in a world that opposes them.

Therefore, I think that the "rod of iron" is the tool God puts in the hands of glorified saints to take their world back from Satan so that God's promises can be fulfilled by men on earth. This must happen, I feel, before all of humanity is judged, to vindicate God's creation of man, as well as His redemption of men.

If God has truly redeemed mankind in their fallen condition, then fallen men should be able to complete the task God originally set out for them. The Millennium is the age where this can happen, in my belief system.

Where exactly do you get this in Rev 20? Nowhere! More adding on to Scripture to support your error!

 

[Randy Kluth]

Where exactly do you get this in Rev 20? Nowhere! More adding on to Scripture to support your error!

You've been told a "thousand" times it doesn't work to say Millennium issues only have to do with Rev 20. The time assigned to the Kingdom of God implies that there is a theology of the Kingdom of God in biblical prophecy.

So when we talk about the Millennium we are not just talking about the length of time for that time period. Rather, we are talking about the entity for which a time period is given in Rev 20. And to know what that entity is, we must go to Abraham's promises, the ones where God promised him the nation Israel and many nations of faith.

The fact this coming Messianic Kingdom is given a time period of a thousand years in Rev 20 does not imply it is nowhere else given any time at all! The very fact it is predicted indicates it will exist.

And the idea that it is of limited proportion goes without saying. When humanity fills the earth with people, then the Kingdom age will come to an end. The human race, we are told, reproduces only of limited duration. After that time, the Kingdom age will turn into the Eternal age.

And the process of filling the earth with people who glorify God is not happening right now. It can only happen, I suspect, when Satan is bound. And he certainly is *not* bound right now, except in the minds of Amillennial theologians who rationalize Satan's activities away.

We were not just told that the earth must be filled with people, but we are also told that the knowledge of God should fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. That means, many peoples must be able to glorify God--something that is largely not happening right now. As I said, Satan must be bound.

So when you constantly go to Rev 20 to disprove the "Millennium" you are not disproving the Messianic Kingdom, which we already know is a temporal Kingdom of limited duration. Rev 20 simply assigns a more specific length of time to it--something that was advanced, hypothetically, even before the book of Revelation was written. The Millennial Day theory preexisted Rev 20!

Maybe you are not glorifying the Lord, but many of us are. There are countless millions advancing the great commission and carrying the favour of God.

Rev 20 is your only text, yet it possesses nothing that you attribute to it. This is the folly of Premil. This subject is a case-in-point. It is man's imaginations that are foisted upon Rev 20. Premils must also reject the obvious and repeated recaps in Revelation. That is because it demolishes their thesis. Rev is the end of the world. Nothing survives. It is Amilks that take Scripture the most literal.

 

[robert derrick]

I agree, but not with the characterization that "ruling with a rod of iron" is a bad thing. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that?

No. unbelievers in Christ's Millennium try to make it look that way.

Those rods of iron are ruled with as shepherds, as well as taskmasters.

It will still be up to the subject's heart to be soft or hard.

However, the Millennial concept of "ruling with iron rods" indicates that God, angels, and glorified saints are sort of prosecuting attorneys in a big court room in the sky, preventing any more satanic displays on earth that prevent God's promises from coming to fulfillment.

The courtroom is on earth. Jesus will be sitting on David's throne in Jerusalem, and the saints will be sitting on their own thrones on earth, with immortal bodies. They will be the same as when the Lord walked and ate among His disciples on earth for 40 days, after His resurrection.

The one law of the Lord will be administered perfectly with mercy, without respect of persons, nor stays of execution.

But you're right. One of those promises is that God will give Abraham an enormous harvest, not just from Israel but from the whole world. That harvest has been taking place throughout NT history, but like Jesus said, "the harvest is white, but the laborers are few." Why are those laborers few? It is because, I think, of satanic opposition. It is difficult to want to labor in a world that opposes them.

Also, the laborers today are unresurrected saints in natural bodies, ministering through a glass darkly. In the Millennium it will be the Lord Himself and His resurrected saints ministering His gospel, through a glass brightly.

Without Satan having any say in the matter.

Therefore, I think that the "rod of iron" is the tool God puts in the hands of glorified saints to take their world back from Satan so that God's promises can be fulfilled by men on earth.

He will no longer be prince and power of the air, once the saints meet with the Lord in the air.

He'll be on the earth a little season with wrath, seducing fools to actually gather around Armageddon and try to make war with the Lamb and His saints in the air.

It will be even more stupid than Pharaoh chasing Israel into a dry sea bed, with waves standing all around.

It's not going to be a fight, but a merciless slaughter, the likes of which the Romans never saw, even at the hands of Hannibal.

This must happen, I feel, before all of humanity is judged, to vindicate God's creation of man, as well as His redemption of men.

True. The old heaven and earth flee away first.

If God has truly redeemed mankind in their fallen condition, then fallen men should be able to complete the task God originally set out for them. The Millennium is the age where this can happen, in my belief system.

With perfection of the King and glorified saints to minister His law, rule, and gospel.

Premils must also reject the obvious and repeated recaps in Revelation. That is because it demolishes their thesis. Rev is the end of the world. Nothing survives. It is Amilks that take Scripture the most literal.

I can't say that you personally have been glorifying God. You've stoked hostility for years on these forums on the Premil/Amil issue. And then when someone like me gets hostile back, then you save up their hostile emails to denounce them, as if you cover for yourself who initiated them!

But hopefully now you are glorifying God, and I seriously welcome that. I have no interest in perpetuating animosity on this issue. Disagreement on the issue is fine by me--more light, the better. More explanation, the better.

But let's try to leave the personal stuff out of these discussions. God knows whether we're presently glorifying God or not. Casting aspersions on one another will not advance our cause. In fact it will hurt it!

I explained that it was not the *time period* of a thousand years that reduces the Premil argument to Rev 20. It is the fact of a predicted Messianic Kingdom with a limited time span, which is everywhere abundant in the Abrahamic Promises, and in the OT Prophets generally. You're not dealing with that.

 

[Randy Kluth]

No. unbelievers in Christ's Millennium try to make it look that way.

Those rods of iron are ruled with a shepherds, as well as taskmasters.

Which is which is up to the subject's heart.



Courtroom on earth. Jesus will be sitting on David's throne in Jerusalem, and the saints will be sitting on their own thrones on earth, with immortal bodies the same as when the Lord walked and ate among His disciples on earth for 40 days after His resurrection.

The one law of the Lord will be administered perfectly with mercy, without respect of persons, nor stays of execution.

Also, the laborers today are unresurrected saints in natural bodies, ministering through a glass darkly. In the Millinium it will be the Lord Himself and His resurrected saints ministering His gospel, through a glass brightly.

Without Satan having any say in the matter.


Satan will be snatched up and shut up all at once, with the Lord's coming again on earth.

he will no longer be prince and power of the air, once the saints meet with the Lord in the air.

He'll be on the earth with wrath, seducing fools to actually gather around Armageddon and try to make war with the Lamb and His saints in the air.

It will be even more stupid than Pharaoh chasing Israel into a dry sea bed, with waves standing all around.

It's not going to be a fight, but a merciless slaughter, the likes of which the Romans never saw, even at the hands of Hannibal.




True. The old heaven and earth flee away first.

Wither perfection of the King and glorified saints to minister His law, rule, and gospel.

I agree with much of this. I just don't know if Jesus and the glorified saints will be *on earth* during the Millennium. That they're coming back to the earth is stated, and agree with it. Whether they stay here, except in their virtual rule, I don't know?

It makes more sense to me that they come back to earth only to establish their rule here, and then retire to heaven for the next thousand years. Why should glorified people coexist on planet earth?

Just my opinion, though we agree on the most important parts. Antichrist will be defeated, Satan bound, and the glorious rule of Christ take place on this earth. Amen!

 

[Keraz]

It makes more sense to me that they come back to earth only to establish their rule here, and then retire to heaven for the next thousand years. Why should glorified people coexist on planet earth?

Many Prophesies do say that Jesus will reign and rule from Jerusalem. Zechariah 16-21 proves it.
There will be no co-existing of immortals with mortals, that never happens. Nobody becomes 'glorified' until they stand before God and their name is found in the Book of Life. Revelation 20:11-15

 

[Keraz]

Amilks that take Scripture the most literal.

What absolute rot!
Rev 20 states 'a thousand years' six times. You AMills make every effort to make out it's just symbolic.

We have all shown you scriptures like Hosea 6:2 and the proof of there now being nearly 6000 years since Adam. You ignore them to your discredit.
Your crusade to promote the AMillennium theory, by forceful and heavy handed means, by degradation and abuse of those who oppose it, is an indictment against you.

The issue of exactly what happens after Jesus Returns, when considered dispassionately, is not one we should or even need to get het up about. But I do worry, that if Jesus really is reigning now and our current situation is as good as it gets, then maybe we are without hope.

 

[robert derrick]

Jesus dwelt among the disciples, walking and eating with them for 40 days.

It happened, and will happen again for a thousand years.

Nobody becomes 'glorified' until they stand before God and their name is found in the Book of Life. Revelation 20:11-15

Except for all the saints bodily resurrected, before His thousand year reign.

The rest of the dead will be judged at the white throne, with the righteous during His reign, being found in the book, along with all the wicked since Cain. cast into the lake.

Nearly every Amil i know has been avoiding you because of your toxic slurs against Amils. So, please do not lecture any Amil. If you refrain from your regular and vicious ad hominem then we can proceed. If not, I am ignoring you, like others.

I welcome you addressing the issues, if you can engage in a healthy manner.

Many testify that they are Premillennial because they take the Word of God literal, yet, when you put their theology to the test an opposite picture unfolds. Premillennialism spiritualizes the literal passages and literalizes the spiritual passages. Their hyper-literalistic approach to highly-figurative Revelation is a case-in-point. Their own hermeneutics actually forbids their beliefs. As Kim Riddlebarger says: “Their own hermeneutics will not bear the weight that is assigned to it … they cannot make good on their own stated hermeneutics”

Hosea 6:1-3: “Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”

There is no millennium mention or inferred in this passage. You have to force it into the text. It doesn't in any way say on the 3,000th day but the 3rd day, this is symbolism/spiritualization gone crazy. Such extremities are required to make Premil fit. The reality is it is referring to Christ's glorious resurrection.

Please ignore me. It's obvious you intend to constantly slur me, and to dredge up support for your hateful, slanderous rhetoric from your friends. Your friends in Amil on these forums are hardly a large number. So calling upon their numbers doesn't prove anything more than a gang of thugs can be trusted with the "real story." The real story is that you've regularly for years attacked Premillers with a vengeance, as if it is your personal vendetta. Stop that, and we can proceed. Otherwise, I will encourage you to ignore me, with relish.

They are indeed a most fanatical sort.

I never understood why Christians would call themselves anything other than Christians. I've never done so.

And who would call themselves an 'amil'? It sounds like a pill.

They call themselves amils, and one another amils, and then get offended for being called a sect of amils.

There is no sensible reasoning to it.

All we need do is find the personal issues involved with it, so that their soul and conscience is at stake. No one gets so upset and spitting angry, as to make silly accusations and mockery against others, just out of 'disagreement' over prophecy of Scripture.

Then again, pride of knowledge can be a very powerful drug of choice, after spending years of sweat and study.

And then someone comes along with just a Scripture or two, and causes their whole bloated scholarship to come crashing down.

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

 

[robert derrick]

It makes more sense to me that they come back to earth only to establish their rule here, and then retire to heaven for the next thousand years.

And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Why should glorified people coexist on planet earth?

Why not?

I understand the point, because we tend to think of Supermen flying around above the heads of people on earth, or shining like Jesus on Patmos.

But, Jesus walked, talked, and ate with natural people on earth for 40 days, and can do so for a thousand years.

And, in any case, it will be but like a day for He and His saints anyway.

Just like Jesus, resurrected saints will be able to live on earth just like any other person. But in immortal bodies that can't be harmed nor killed.

The iron law and justice of the Mongols during their reign over most the earth, where a maiden with treasures could travel unmolested, will be but a dim shadow of the King's Millennium over all the earth.

And the law of the King will be perfectly just and righteous altogether.

 

[Randy Kluth]

And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Yes, that is not determinative for me.

Why not?

I understand the point, because we tend to think of Supermen flying around above the heads of people on earth, or shining like Jesus on Patmos.

But, Jesus walked, talked, and ate with natural people on earth for 40 days, and can do so for a thousand years.

Yea, I agree that it's possible--just not likely, in my view. To mix mortal and immortal really has no precedent. It would defeat the whole purpose of faith.

It's not as though faith won't be there in a major way--it will. But in my view life will still require faith, because though the Kingdom will be present, it will still be somewhat invisible. The Kingdom will be more political than an actualized faith. So it will still require decisions and faith.

And, in any case, it will be but like a day for He and His saints anyway.

Yes, the Kingdom will be actualized on earth, both politically and spiritually. But it will still require faith. Sin will still be present, requiring faith in righteousness over going one's own way. Applying righteousness politically and legally doesn't guarantee adherence from the heart.

Just like Jesus, resurrected saints will be able to live on earth just like any other person. But in immortal bodies that can't be harmed nor killed.

Yes, Jesus was here after his resurrection, but not after his immortalization. I separate his resurrection body from his immortal body, which I believe he received only after his ascension.

The iron law and justice of the Mongols during their reign over most the earth, where a maiden with treasures could travel unmolested, will be but a dim shadow of the King's Millennium over all the earth.

And the law of the King will be perfectly just and righteous altogether.

It's not a major point of contention for me--just my own personal supposition. I'm not dogmatic on the point. We agree on a lot.

 

[Randy Kluth]

Nearly every Amil i know has been avoiding you because of your toxic slurs against Amils. So, please do not lecture any Amil. If you refrain from your regular and vicious ad hominem then we can proceed. If not, I am ignoring you, like others.

I welcome you addressing the issues, if you can engage in a healthy manner.

I've always addressed you in a healthy manner. You are the one who constantly disparages other viewpoints. I've gone on record many times saying that Amillennialism has a trusted and dignified place in Church history. Centuries of good Christians have held to that view. I just don't happen to agree.

Then you have these theories about how Premillennialism was not the dominant early belief in the Church, contradicted by noted Amil church historians like Philip Schaff. And because I believe Schaff you disparage me and all those who believe that Premil was the early position in the Church.

Then you claim that early Premil theologians and Church Fathers were actually Amillennial in their theology with a few deviations. Again, this is not a widely accepted position. Yet you disparage those who disagree with you.

Why not just say you have your positions and theories without disparaging anybody? Instead, you tackle their education, their logic, and their influences. Though I give you room to question how knowledgeable someone may be, why not just present your views and the reasons you hold them, without spending so much energy dividing Christians on this issue?

You have knowledge, and you have a good mind. It would be great to discuss these things without that sense of disparagement, if you know what I mean? Maybe you aren't even aware of it, having been engaged in it for so long?

Have I gotten upset over the constant attack on my own views? Yes, I'm ashamed to say that at times I go too far in fighting back. But this doesn't excuse you if you're prompting this kind of aggression by your constant wish to get personal. Can't you leave the personal stuff out of it?

Hosea is referring to the glorious Return of Jesus. THEN we will live in His sight.
Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 tell us that one day to God, is the same as a thousand earth years. Proved by the 2 'days' that He has revived us, that is: by our redemption and salvation thru the Gospel of Jesus.
