(28) THE MILLENIUM

At Jesus' second coming to earth, it will be during the 'Battle of Armageddon'. We as christians will come back from heaven with him. When he touches down on the Mount of Olives, right outside of Jerusalem, the Mt. of Olives will divide North and South leaving a valley from East to West. 1/3 of the Jews will escape from the Antichrist through this mountain valley. (Zech.14:4). Jesus will destroy the enemy with the sword out of his mouth, his Word. There will be a remnant of Jews and others that don't die, but will enter the millenium in their bodies of flesh. -(Zech.13:8-9) During WW 2, there were about 18 million Jews; 1/3 of them died in the Holocaust. Now, there are about 12 million Jews; if the Lord comes back soon, as I expect, 2/3 of Jews will die, leaving about 4 million of them to live on into the millenium in their bodies of flesh. They will repopulate the earth. They are the saved ones that didn't accept the Mark of the Beast (666), and will recognize their Messiah. We, who come with Jesus will have our eternal bodies. The Tribulation saints were raptured out before the 2nd coming. They were in heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Israel will be laid out in horizontal strips, instead of scattered areas. 9 of the tribal territories will touch the Mediteranean Sea. The other 3 will have the 'Brook' of Egypt' connecting them to the sea. -(Eze.48) The City will be square, a little over a mile on each side. It will have 12 gates, each with the name of a tribe. Living waters will flow out from under the Temple wall. 1/2 toward the Dead sea and 1/2 toward the Mediteranean sea. They will, no doubt, flow through the valley created when Jesus set foot on the Mt. of Olives at His return. These will be healing waters. The dead sea will become fresh water, all except in the marshes by the shore. Men will fish in what was the dead sea. When the waters come out from under the Temple wall, it will be ankle deep for 1,000 cubits (1 cubit = 18") . Another 1,000 cubits and the water was to the knees. Another 1,000 cubits and the water was to the waist. Another 1,000 cubits and it was too deep to wade across. There will be trees on both sides of the river. The fruit will never fail and be for food. The leaves will be for healing. (Healing for them in bodies of flesh). (Rev.22:1)- There will be a similar river & trees in the New Jerusalem. (Isaiah 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. We, who are christians (Luke 1:32)- He (JESUS) shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David./ During the millenium, Jesus reigns on the throne of David. We will reign with Christ. (Rev.2:26-27a)- He that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron./ (Zech.14:16-17)- And it shall come to pass, that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. At the end of the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ on earth, Satan will be let out of the bottomless pit. I believe the bottomless pit is in the earth. There is no bottom, when you get to the center, it would be up again. He will gather the nations together to war. This leads into the 'White Throne Judgement' and a new heaven & earth. Con
