Here’s something to think about……How will life on earth be when Jesus is Lord and King over ALL the earth? Let’s read a little bit about it…



Zech.14
[6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
[7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
[8] And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

- So during Christ's 1000 year rule we will be able to tell when 'evening' comes, although it will not be totally dark. This makes perfect sense because God’s Sabbath will still be observed and His Sabbaths starts at evening on the 7[sup]th[/sup] day.

- The earth will also have at least two seasons; summer and winter.

- Along with seasons we will also have a way of telling 'years'. Again, with the keeping of God’s commandment of keeping His feast days FOREVER, we must be able to know at what month tokeep them. This can ONLY be done if we are still able to know the beginning and ending of years.


Just think about how life on this planet will be when Jesus is in charge? Let's read how long the people of the earth will live during Christ's 1000 year rule.

Isa.65
[17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
[19] And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

- Again we know the above scriptures is speaking of a time when Jerusalem will be lived in safely.

[20] There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old;

- So the person that DIES at one hundred will be considered yet a child.

Let’s continue…..

Isa.11
[6] The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
[7] And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
[8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
[9] They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Isa.65
[25] The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

- Think about it….A wolf living with a lamb, a leopard lying with the kid, a lion eating straw like an ox, all with a child leading them. And the knowledge of the Lord filling the entire earth.

So we have read a little bit about how the earth will be, but what type of King will Jesus be? What laws will He enforce? After all, that IS what a King does....enforces HIS laws. And what about the saints that will rule with Him? How will they govern? Let’s learn….

Rev.12
[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
Rev.19
[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev.2
[26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.


So we find that Jesus will be quite the harsh King, when He arrives. It’s NOT going to be a walk in the park, as some may have pictured. And don’t think you will be able to get away with anything with any of the saints that will be ruling with Him, for they ALSO will rule with a rod of iron.

Let's look at some laws we KNOW will be kept when He returns;

Zech. 14
[16] And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
[18] And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
[19] This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.


So we know for a fact the nations remaining on the earth during Jesus rule WILL be keeping the Feast of Tabernacles. Well if they do not they will be punished, so I'm thinking they will. Let's find another…


Isa.66
[23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.


So we find that God's Sabbath will ALSO be a requirement for ALL flesh that are here on earth during Jesus rule.


So it seems that Jesus Laws and Commandments are NOT just for the nation of Israel. They will be for ALL nations and ALL flesh during his 1000yr rule here on earth.


Now if the Lord is going to require EVERYBODY to keep the Feast of Tabernacles and His 7th day Sabbath, what about ALL of the rest of His Holy days?


Do you think He will overlook the Passover, Blowing of the Trumpets, Days of Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement and the rest? He did say they ALL were to be observed forever! Do you think you will be able to serve God on any day YOU choose or will it be the day HE says? The 7[sup]th[/sup] day!



Jesus will be ruling for 1000 years. Some people will have lived and died ONLY knowing the true word of God. They will have lived and died, not knowing wars, not knowing starvation, not knowing Satan and his angels. But the one thing ALL nations will know will be God’s LAWS!

Have you ever thought about it?

Well.....if you are blessed to be in the first resurrection, or was blessed to make it through the Great Tribulation....this will be the life you will have.

But it will only last for awhile;

Rev.20
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,

Can you imagine being taught by Jesus Himself for 1000 years and people STILL being deceived by Satan? But then again….this IS the same guy that convinced a third of the angels to follow him. That just goes to show how persuasive Satan is.

One more thing to question; Why would Jesus gives us His laws, suspend them for a while after His death, only to have them obeyed again by the whole world when He returns? Does not make sense! After all, we clearly see there will be one law for ALL when He returns. Just does not make sense.


Life on earth during the 1000 year rule of Jesus Christ......think about it!!!!

Who would have guessed. He's still trying to force THE LAW on everyone. Do your friends and family know that you teach THE LAW? Have you told them that YOU believe you are commanded to kill people of other religions?

Deuteronomy 13:6-10 (NKJV)
[sup]6 [/sup]"If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, [sup]7 [/sup]of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, [sup]8 [/sup]you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him;
[sup]9 [/sup]but YOU SHALL SURELY KILL HIM; YOUR HAND SHALL BE FIRST AGAINST HIM TO PUT HIM TO DEATH, and afterward the hand of all the people. [sup]10 [/sup]And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Or is this your little secret?

This lesson is simply to enlighten some that may never have thought about how life will be on earth during Christ 1000yr rule.

- I'm sure there are some readers that never knew it will never become completely dark. I didn't!
- I'm sure some didn't know that the wild beast would go back to being vegetarians, just as they were before the
flood. I didn't know!
- I'm sure some may not have known that God would again increase the lifespan of man. Did you know that?
- I doubt nobody ever thought of just how harsh Christ and His saints will rule during those 1000yrs, "...with a rod of
iron.."!
- And there are some, I'm sure, that did not realize that even during Christ 1000yr rule they would still be required to
keep God's laws......ALL OF THEM!!!
- And I bet no one ever thought that Satan could convince anyone to break God's rules after being taught by the Lord
Himself for one thousand years! Now that is hard to believe!!

It will not be me that will be forcing God's laws on anyone. Just as you do now, even during Christ 1000yr rule, you WILL have a choice. But let's read, again, what will be the results of those that do not obey and keep God's laws.....

"And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."

You know.....there's an old commercial that says, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later!"

Well....for those that are blessed to be around during Christ 1000 year rule and refuse to keep God's laws now....... you WILL pay Him later......or suffer His punishment!

Readers......did you know or consider these things? Until I read the bible for myself, I didn't either!

There is much to be learned by reading God's word. As a matter of fact, Paul tell us, just reading the OT is enough for salvation.....

"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

And how is it possible that reading the OT can make thee wise unto salvation? Let's let Jesus tell us....

"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

And what were the scriptures both Paul and Christ taught from? The only ones available......

The Old Testament!

My choice is God's New Covenant that Jesus paid for with His Blood.

Romans 10:4 (NKJV)
[sup]4 [/sup]For CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW for righteousness to everyone who believes.

This had the potential of a good post until, as always, Eccl twists it into his own will of trying to force people under OT law.

Why do you not follow these laws, Eccl?
"You should not let a sorceress live"
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death."
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."
"A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death"
" Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death."
"All who curse their father or mother must be put to death."
" If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death."
"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death."

Did you even bother to read the entire post? This lesson is about how life on earth WILL be during Christ 1000 year rule!

Please explain how is the following MY WILL being forced upon people? This is what God's word says will happen, these are NOT my words;

Isa.66
[23] And it shall come
to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Again.....just how is the above MY WILL? God said ALL flesh will come to worship Him from one sabbath to another, NOT ME! Do you have a problem with God's words? Let's read what else God's word says ALL nations WILL do...

Zech. 14
[16] And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
[18] And if the family of Egypt go not
up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
[19] This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

So....how am I imposing this upon people? God, NOT Eccl, says ALL nations WILL keep the Feast of Tabernacles!

And guess what Tex? If you are so blessed to be here....."You WILL obey!!"

And just as God will make ALL nations keep the above laws, ALL of His other laws will be kept as well.

That would include all of the ones you keep bringing up below;

"You should not let a sorceress live"
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death."
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."
"A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death"
" Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death."
"All who curse their father or mother must be put to death."
" If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death."
"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death."

Readers, do not be mislead, ALL of God's laws WILL be kept during Christ 1000 year rule and, as we just read, ALL flesh and ALL nations WILL be obligated to keep them!

But this lesson is more than just keeping God's laws...that is a given.

This lesson is also to give you just a glimpse of how the earth will be for 1000 years! And also understand that it will not last forever.

For after the 1000 years, Satan will be loosed to deceive once again.

If you are blessed to live during that time, pray that you are not one of those deceived!

Maybe we should all repost these verses until Eccl answers the question.

[font="tahoma][size="2"]Why do you not follow these laws, Eccl?

"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."

" If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death."
"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death."[/size][/font]

Because Christ said the following,

"....He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

He also told us this,

"Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."

If I were sinless, then maybe I would cast the first stone at all those mentioned above, but I am a sinner, a breaker of Gods laws, just as all of us. Jesus tells us to leave the sinners be. Let them dwell with the righteous and He will punish them at HIs coming.

This is why I do not follow these laws. I really do not know any other way to answer you! I've answered your question several times already.

Please understand the spirit of these laws. What is the "death" God speaks of? Is it physical or spiritual death for those that don't repent of their actions? God's elect are to judge....He is giving us the laws we shall judge by. Also understand who "death" is when folks shall be "put to death." It is just one of Satan's many names:


Old Testament.....
Proverbs 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain My words: keep My commandments, and live.



New Testament....
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

John 14:21 He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

So you're saying adulterers, homosexuals, rebellious children, violators of the Sabbath will be executed. Interesting.

I'm not saying it.......God is!

Do you really think Christ would allow adulterers, homosexuals, violators of holy days and anybody else to continue to engage in such activities during His 1000 year rule?

What type of world would that be? Actually......it would be the type of world we have today if He allowed it! A world full of sinners!

There are repentant sinners and there are habitual sinners.


Revelation 22:14-16 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.​


One of His angels is testifying unto you these things on this forum. Do you hear?

If you are saying that we are obligated to keep THE LAW of Moses then you are wrong. Is that what you're saying?

No because it's quite clear there will be no more sin in the New Earth.

Your understanding of this is fatally flawed and this comment of yours proves it.

I am saying we must keep His Commandments, as He tells us.


The laws given by God through Moses are to be kept but as we live in His commandments, those laws are kept for some are fulfilled spiritually. Too, we must note the differences in laws, ordinances and statutes. As He used the words "for ever," then did He not mean "for ever?"......

Leviticus 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.


Deuteronomy 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

And He told us we are not under THE LAW. We have the New Covenant.

Galatians 3:24-25 (NKJV)
[sup]24 [/sup]Therefore THE LAW WAS OUR TUTOR to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [sup]25 [/sup]But after faith has come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A TUTOR.
The laws given by God through Moses are to be kept but as we live in His commandments, those laws are kept for some are fulfilled spiritually. Too, we must note the differences in laws, ordinances and statutes. As He used the words "for ever," then did He not mean "for ever?"......
Here we go again. Christians are not under THE LAW. Are you under THE LAW or grace?

John 1:17 (NKJV)
[sup]17 [/sup]For THE LAW was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Leviticus 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
For the children of Israel.

Exodus 31:16-17 (NKJV)
[sup]16 [/sup]Therefore THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. [sup]17 [/sup]It is a sign between Me and THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL forever;
Deuteronomy 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Are you under THE LAW? If so you need to read this:

Galatians 3:10 (NKJV)
[sup]10 [/sup]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse;

Are you circumcised to obey God?

Galatians 5:2 (NKJV)
[sup]2 [/sup]Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. (NOT SAVED)

Often times when the Bible uses the words "forever" or "ever" it is a figure of speech meaning "long time". I see these as no exception.
The problem with literalists is simply... The Bible starts contradicting itself.


You need to realize just as when you and I, in our language today, use terms like "forever"... We rarely mean it literally. There's no exception to back when the Bible was wrote.
