LIVING WATERS

When the Lord comes to the Mount of Olives, He will split the mountain in half and living waters will flow out to bring healing to the rivers and seas.

`The Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley. Half of the mountain shall move towards the north and half of it towards the south.` (Zech. 14: 3 & 4)

The rivers and the seas will be polluted in the tribulation and thus God sends living water to flow across the land of Israel towards the Jordan valley and also out to the Mediterranean Sea. This water will also flow under the temple and bring life to all along its banks.

`Then he brought me to the door of the temple; and there was water flowing from under the threshold of the temple.....This water flows towards the eastern region, goes down into the valley and enters the sea.

When it reaches the sea its waters are healed. And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.` (Ez. 47: 1, 8 & 9)

The fishermen will have good catches to feed the people as previously all living things in the sea had died. (Rev. 16: 3)

`It shall be that fishermen will stand by it, (the living waters) from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt.` (Ez 47: 10 & 11)

As the water brings life to the rivers and seas, we also see that the trees planted along the river will grow good fruit for food and the leaves will be used for health purposes.

`Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.` (Ez. 47: 12)
The earth will be destroyed by the plagues and cataclysms and wars and everything, but all the people will have been gathered to Jerusalem, first the Jews being gathered back to their promised land, then the Gentiles being gathered to be judged. After the wicked are sent away, the righteous from the Gentiles, and the Jews remain, and all will be in Israel.

The river of water flows from the east side of the temple into the dead sea, healing it, and giving life to all it touches. As the life of the healing waters spreads out, the people will be able to spread out with it.

Much love!

`For Zion`s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem`s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory.

You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.` (Isa. 62: 1 - 3)

Isaiah 62:6-7 KJV
6) I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7) And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Do you think there are watchers on the walls of Jerusalem today continually calling to God to establish Jerusalem? As do I?

Much love!

Just like the Red Sea . . . God opened the sea for the Israelites to flee from the Egyptians, then closed it on the Egyptians to destroy them. I think this will be just the same, the valley opens, the Israelites flee the beast armies through the valley, which closed on the beast armies, the winepress of God's wrath. With the split, then rejoined Mount of Olives remaining in mute testimony of God's judgement.

Much love!

hello,

Life in the Millennium should be no different to a Christian's living "life" today. If we cannot live "life" today, then why would we change during the Last Age.

Shalom

Hi all,

It seems that many people are thinking that we, the Body of Christ will be on earth in the millennium. Could you please post scriptures to back up that claim?

Daniel. 7:19ff, Daniel. 12, easily spring to mind.

Perhaps, the question should be asked of you to show that the Body of Christ will not be on the earth during the Millennium, i.e., the last age.

Shalom

PS: - on a side note what part of Oz do you live in?

Hi Jay,

Thanks for answering and asking. First hubby and I live in the farming area in Victoria. Where do you live in OZ?

As to the Daniel scriptures, they are related to Israel for the Body of Christ revelation had not been revealed in those times, not until the Lord gave it to Paul.(Eph. 3: 5)

The Body of Christ will be with the Lord on His throne in the highest. (Rev. 3: 21, Eph. 1: 21 - 23)

Plus - Our inheritance, our hope, our place, our citizenship, all of which are IN HEAVEN.

`...to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.` (1 Peter 1: 4 )

` ...because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth..`(Col. 1: 5)

` ...and raised us up together and made to sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.`(Eph. 2: 6)

` For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly await for the saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.` (Phil. 3: 20)

regards, Marilyn.

Sorry Marilyn, but the two passages I referenced from Daniel, both refer to the time when there is neither Jew nor Gentile in God's kingdom around the time of the final judgement. So, what Daniel recorded is applicable to all of the Saints at the end of the seventh age.

Shalom

Jesus returns in final judgment, the heavens and earth are dissolved by fire, the new creation in the New Heavens, Earth, Jerusalem are revealed, the river of life flows from God's throne in New Jerusalem in the eternal Kingdom

There won't be a Millennium on this earth, where Jews rule as God's agents as many claim

Jesus returns in fire and final judgment, dissolving this earth by fire (The End)

Nahum 1:5KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved
, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

So, Jay, are you telling me that the revelation of the Body of Christ was revealed BEFORE Jesus told Paul?

Yes, metaphorically speaking. The Rock, the foundation of the Christian faith is that Jesus is the Son of God, as referenced in Daniel 2, is to become the largest mountain in all of the earth, where the mountain is the religious practices of the people. This Rock has as yet not been seen. It is to be revealed during the time of the kings of the earth, when it comes down out of heaven. Those who love the Lord God are God's earthly Hosts on the earth during the last age. Why is it important to you as to when the Body of Christ was revealed to the nations?

Shalom

Hello again.
Why can't we be reigning now? Are we meant to be reigning now?
If we are called to overcome in life now, then we should be able to reign now.

How are we meant to reign over unbelievers? Do we have authority to beat them into submission somehow or do we set an example for them to follow through the exercising of their own faith? I think the latter must apply because without faith it is impossible to please God.
A glorified reign of the Lord and us is not going to help them is it.



2Thess 2
11 Therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false,

12 In order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe in [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely on] the Truth, but [instead] took pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we, brethren beloved by the Lord, ought and are obligated [as those who are in debt] to give thanks always to God for you, because God chose you from the beginning as His firstfruits (first converts) for salvation through the sanctifying work of the [Holy] Spirit and [your] belief in (adherence to, trust in, and reliance on) the Truth.

14 [It was] to this end that He called you through our Gospel, so that you may obtain and share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).



When Jesus leaves heaven he is coming to restore all things and all those people who have had faith in him. The door to his grace through our own faith will be shut the moment everyone sees him coming.

Act 3
19 So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord;

20 And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah), Who before was designated and appointed for you—even Jesus,

21 Whom heaven must receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all that God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the most ancient time in the memory of man].

22 Thus Moses said to the forefathers, The Lord God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your brethren as [He raised up] me; Him you shall listen to and understand by hearing and heed in all things whatever He tells you.

23 And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to and understand by hearing and heed that Prophet shall be utterly exterminated from among the people.


Jn 12
47 If anyone hears My teachings and fails to observe them [does not keep them, but disregards them], it is not I who judges him. For I have not come to judge and to condemn and to pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world.

48 Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge [however]; for the [very] message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict him at the last day.
Most Amil have to deny that Paradise is currently and since the Cross a very lively and physical place where people do have permanent incorruptible physical bodies.

They cannot accept that because their whole emphasis is on a single resurrection. They only deny a future millennium, because of that point. They certainly don't deny a future millennium based on Revelation 20. In fact they have an opinion, Revelation 20 is the time between the Cross and the Second Coming.

So no, we are not reigning. We are posting our thoughts on the internet. Those in Paradise are reigning now and will do so the same way from Paradise as they do now, during the reign of Jesus as King on earth with those on the earth. And Revelation 20 tells us how long.

Now for those in Paradise, has it only been two days..... obviously they have been with the Lord. Do you have a verse that states there is no time at all in Paradise? If you conclude that, then Revelation 20 has to be dealing with life on earth for 1,000 years where time does have meaning and purpose. Why would you take that away from those who were beheaded and given life back, to rule and reign with Christ? You accuse us of robbing you of reigning now, but you seem ok with robbing these future beheaded people of their reigning with Christ on earth. The answer is Jesus has been reigning, but as unobserved. At the Second Coming all will observe Jesus as King, and then His kingdom will be on earth until all things are brought under subjection.

Certainly God could just snap a finger and all come into subjection, but why take all the fun out of the process? Certainly God did not snap His finger and the fulness of the Gentiles was over "in a half week". Not sure why amil cannot see the order and plan Paul wrote about:

"But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end."

Paul did not say the coming was the end. Paul said then cometh the end after the coming. There was a 1992 year gap between the firstfruits and the coming, so far. There will be a 1,000 year gap between the coming and the end. Three different gatherings, with 2 time periods in between the 3 gatherings. Why is this so hard to grasp? Christ has been ruling since the Cross, and will rule until He hands back the kingdom at the appropriate time. Amil need patience instead of claiming a single moment in time as their core plank. We already know there has been a long time, that is history. John was talking about a specific 1,000 year period, because that is not a mystery like the timing of the Second Coming has been.

Jesus Christ Warned His Followers, Concerning Him Being On This Earth In A Millennium (Beware)

Many claim Jesus will literally return and rule "On This Earth" In A Millennium this being false in deception

Jesus warned his followers against this teaching, Jesus wont be found anywhere upon this earth as many claim

The Antichrist will be in Jerusalem, claiming to be Messiah Returned, "Beware"!

"Believe It Not" "Go Not Forth"

Matthew 24:23-27KJV
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Revelation 13:13-14KJV
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 19:20KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Jesus declared that at His Second Coming, they should reject Him as a liar?

Do you think they should have walked away from Jesus during the first century based on your own teachings, that even Jesus could not be trusted?

At what point are you going to stop claiming Jesus at the Second Coming is not Jesus, because Jesus warned them about every single person claiming to be Jesus, even Jesus Himself, would not be the real Jesus?

That is your illogical point. Even Jesus is not Jesus at the Second Coming.

Not going to answer off topic questions. But you really need a better reason why Jesus cannot even come to earth, or else He stops being Jesus, and just another imposter. Perhaps you are one of the voices of this time period we are supposed to ignore, merely because you claim to be a voice for Jesus at this time. You cannot be, based on your own argument. You are just as much an imposter as Jesus will be with this argument you keep posting.

I was simply quoting scripture from the Book of Daniel, with respect to the chronology of when these events will take place with respect to the last age.

One could claim that Christ was hinted at as early as in Genesis 3 and He has been revealed slowly over time since then until His first advent. The time span between the first and second advents, from my reading of the prophetic scriptures, seems to be around three ages, i.e., around 3,000 years.

It is important to realise that the Body of Christ purpose was NOT revealed before the Lord reveled it to Paul. Otherwise, you get all the purposes muddled up and tend to make US the center of God`s word and not Christ as the center, His character and His purposes.
