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!!!!
