Welcome to the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This pictures the Millennial reign of God on the earth and the last day of that reign.
Significant because it pictures the conclusion of the Millennial reign of the Kingdom of God with one more day left, the Last Great Day. We’ll talk about that tomorrow.
But the conclusion of this Millennial reign of the Kingdom of God. What an amazing time the Millennium is going to be. This day is a very special day. It pictures the conclusion of that period. There are many prophecies that talk about the Kingdom of God and in them there is a stark contrast between the two worlds.
I call them worlds because it’s Satan’s world. Satan’s wannabe kingdom. He wants to be ‘the God.’ He is the god of this world and he is the prince of the power of the air. We see this all around us, don’t we? We see it all the time, everywhere.
If you watch the news, you see it everywhere on the news. We see it on our roads at work and in the stores. We see it with our neighbors. We see it anywhere and everywhere we go. We see the result of Satan’s world on people.
A world held captive to his evil and his wicked ways and it affects the minds of people. You have the Kingdom of God on the other hand and we’re going to see what that new world will be like, the Millennium, and the difference, the stark contrast between the two.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in this new world? A world never before seen, like the Garden of Eden, the way God intended it to be in the beginning.
Again, this day––the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles––pictures the end of the 1,000 year Millennial reign of the Kingdom of God on the earth with Jesus Christ as the King and the saints as the kings and priests under Him helping to rule. Unprecedented peace, amazing, unprecedented peace that we’ve never seen before. Christ said, my peace I leave with you, not like the world. This will be just like Christ’s peace. It will be total.
We know how we got here. This is the at the end of the Holy Day season. The Plan of God for mankind, which is a teaching tool that teaches us:
what His mind is
what His will is
what He’s doing with this here on this earth
what the goal is
The goal is to have family members in His Family, that the entire world would have an opportunity to be part of that Family.
You have Passover where it was decided by God, the Father and Jesus Christ, that Christ would come in the flesh to live a perfect life, showing us how to do that, that we would follow His example.
Not that we’re perfect in any way, but we would try to do what He did, put His character in us, His mind, and grow to the stature of the fullness of Jesus Christ.
He lived His life
He died, willingly gave His life
shed his blood
was resurrected
is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest
overseeing us now in our journey, the seven-week journey to Pentecost
coming out of the world
coming out of Egypt, not being part of the world
not being part of Satan’s world
But coming through this seven-week period as we live our lives and die, and wait the resurrection on Pentecost, to the Sea of Glass as the firstfruits!.
That’s the Church Era, and that is showing that Christ is the First of the firstfruits, and we are the remaining firstfruits that are resurrected on the Sea of Glass. We learn how to assist Christ in coming back on Trumpets from the Sea of Glass to put Satan out, and his demons and the armies that have followed him in the world, put them away on the Day of Atonement, and then usher in the Kingdom of God, the Feast of Tabernacles!
What a wonderful time! What an amazing plan! Here we are almost at the end of God’s plan. We’re at the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, with the Last Great Day coming. Then after that, what we have is a new heaven and a new earth.
The Earth is purged, burned up, and God the Father comes. A new heaven, new earth, brings new Jerusalem to the earth. We don’t know what happens after that, but we live with Him forever, in a family relationship.
Back at the second woe and the third woe, when the resurrection happens in the seventh trumpet is blown, the last trump, we hear the words spoken by the angel, ‘the kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever!’ He’s going to reign past that time.
He’s always going to be the King of kings. That sets the stage for the Kingdom of God. But we’re still in this evil world right now, and we have to deal with all of this, and:
we have to try to make it
we have to endure to the end
we have to be steadfast and endure hardships
we have to build the character through the Holy Spirit
being the elect and chosen, those people that God has picked to be the firstfruits and to help Christ come back and then also help in the Millennium, be servants of God.
But we’re still in this evil world. We aspire to that Kingdom, that excellent country, but:
we have to deal with Satan, the prince of the power of the air!
we have to guard the door of our mind diligently all the time
Satan is the spirit that actively works in the children of disobedience! He’s the prince of the power of the air:
moods
emotions
broadcasting
We have to guard the door of our mind!
We daily witness these results of that around us in the human nature in the world. I almost hate to turn on the news because there’s so many things going on. They are void of the understanding because they don’t have God’s Holy Spirit, they haven’t been called, they don’t know, and they are under the deception of Satan and led by Satan and his demons! Because of that, the violence and wars, etc. have increased and they’re growing stronger.
In 2024 every 25 seconds there was a violent crime in the United States. There have been 37 million people killed worldwide in war since 1800. That’s direct combatants, that’s not counting the civilians that have been killed due to war-related:
famine
disease
displacement
If you add those in and the smaller conflicts that are generated from these larger wars, you have quite a big death toll. Satan is:
rebellious
stubborn
a liar
a murderer
The father of that, and he was the first to rebel in the war against God. He knows about war and he brings that to man and brings that to his world.
God’s world is not like that!
We see this one-world government getting stronger and it’s obviously becoming more and more in control. We see it with AI and different things, 6G, all the things that are developing. We see it in the governments and the WHO, COVID and the shots and things that are going on around the world, and starting to come out more and more and more into the open.
The governments are getting stronger, they’re getting more united, a one-world ruling government. We see that what’s happening, where it’s going is to Rev. 17 & 18. Babylon the Great, the great harlot who commits adultery with the kings of the earth and grows rich with excessive luxuries. It is known as a hub of global commerce, that’s an earmark of Babylon the Great:
global commerce
controlling trade routes
supply goods
gold and silver and precious stone
cinnamon
incense
ointment
the wheat and the grain
the cattle
the sheep
the horses
chariots
The last thing, the last thing is even more amazing when you look into it. sometimes we overlook this, but the last thing it says about this global commerce is that they are dealing in slaves and the souls of men!
I looked up that global scale, on a global scale––they call it labor––but it’s forced exploitation. There are 27 million people that are in forced labor worldwide, and it generates 236 billion dollars in illegal profits annually. They call that forced commercial sexual exploitation; 40 percent of those are women and girls, 12 percent are children, unaccounted for, and who knows what happens to them! The missing child reports cover it up. The U.S., there’s only a half a million children reported every year missing. Well, it’s more than that; 2,300 go missing every day in child sex trafficking.
In 2025, that number was up 323 percent from 2024. Again, an earmark of Babylon the Great, Satan’s government, or his kingdom––slaves and the souls of men!
Then, of course, there’s natural disasters and things. We’ll talk about those broken families and the religious blinding of the world! Satan is ‘the god of this world’ who has blinded the minds of all those! He’s deceived them. There’s a great deception coming still, and yet, he’s deceived the world!
We have to keep our ‘hard toes’ and keep our minds guarded and stay close to God so we aren’t deceived, as well. Satan’s responsible for all of that, and it’s going to go away, but right now it’s still here. It’s going to change at Trumpets and Atonement, and Satan and his demons will be put away. Time is quickly approaching, and we’re seeing this one-world government grow and become more obvious and more apparent, and this rapid increase of evil that we’re seeing.
On the other side of that, it stirs me to stay close to God, and there’s sort of an excitement about the completion of God’s Plan! It makes it even more amazing. It makes it more real to see this happening. We see it happening, and when it comes, we’re going to sing praises to God, give thanks to His Holy name. It’s going to turn mourning into dancing. We’re going to be clothed with gladness.
Psalm 30:4[transcriber’s correction]: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you saints of His, and give thanks to His Holy name.”
Isn’t that amazing? That’s an attitude that we’re going to have.
When we begin to start to see: Acts 3:21: “Whom the heaven must indeed receive until the times of restoration of all things...”
That’s going to help us give thanks to God forever, to love Him, and to know that He is in charge. We start to see these things starting to be restored!
I mean, the earth is going to be in a mess. It’s going to be devastating! That true restoration will come at the Kingdom of God!
But right now, it’s beginning in our minds. Our minds are being transformed and restored, and the Church is beginning to be transformed and restored.
Acts 3:19: “Therefore, repent...” That has to happen first!
That’s why God gives these periods of time where He allows man to think, and He wants them to repent, and they won’t. Several times He gives them an opportunity, and they will not repent.
Man has to repent, “...and be converted in order that your sins may be blotted out... [that’s how that happens] ...so that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord (v 19).
We go through that process of repenting, coming to God, asking for forgiveness, truly repenting, and He grants us that forgiveness through the blood of Christ! or justified and seen as the righteousness of Christ!
Verse 20: “And that He may send Him Who was before proclaimed to you: Jesus Christ Whom the heaven must indeed receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of all His Holy prophets since the world began” (vs 20-21).
Many, many Scriptures. We’ll see a few of those. The world, the creation that He’s made, is waiting, waiting for this time.
Rom. 8:19 talks about the actual creation, groaning and travailing, and looking for this freedom that comes from the Holy Spirit and the children of God.
Romans 8:19: “For the earnest expectation of the creation itself is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God... [waiting on us] ... because the creation was subjected to vanity...” (vs 19-20).
It didn’t have anything to do with it. It was just subjected upon the rebellion and the sin of Adam and Eve.
Verse 20: “Because the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who subjected it in hope, in order that the creation itself might be delivered from the bondage of corruption...” (vs 20-21).
Just like the world is in bondage, the creation is in bondage!
“...into the freedom...” (v 21).
Where the Spirit is, there is liberty, there is freedom. That Spirit will be available in the Millennium, in God’s Kingdom.
Verse 21: “In order that the creation itself might be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.”
That glory indicates a changed family, a changed individual, the children of God.
Verse 22: “For we know that all the creation is groaning together and travailing together until now.”
It’s actually in pain, groaning, crying out for this to be finished, God’s Plan.
Today, I want to look at this amazing transformation that takes place between Satan’s kingdom and those individuals in it, and the world that’s in travail, and the Kingdom of God. That transformation to the Kingdom of God, the Millennium, on this last day.
We’re going to look at the Scriptures and the prophecies that are there. It is amazing! The comparison of this evil, present evil world, to that of this wonderful, beautiful, breathtaking reality called the Millennium, Kingdom of God!
The very first thing that has to happen, human nature has to be changed! It’s the heart of the matter.
Romans 12:2: “Do not conform yourselves to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...”
Being transformed, the renewing of our minds so that we have the metamorphosis that takes place in the mind, a change. That’s a miracle! To take a carnal mind and put the Holy Spirit in, coupled with the spirit of man, and then have it grow, and have it change! Push out the vanity and the evil, and bring in the character of God, the love of God! A miracle!
That’s the ultimate cause, the mind and the heart, this evil heart and mind, this carnal nature that is enmity against God!
It has to be renewed to a mind and a heart that is yielding and submissive to God! But right now it’s under the influence of Satan the devil. But he’ll be gone one day, but what will still remain is the carnal mind.
God gives us choice
He gives us that freedom to choose
You have that carnality and the choice, and they’ll have to fight that, just like we do.
Even though Satan’s influence is gone, Christ tells us what that state the human heart and the mind is, and where the evil comes from. I
Mark 7:21: “For from within, out of the hearts of men go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, guile, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; all these evils go forth from within, and these defile a man” (vs 21-23).
That’s what defiles a man, these evil thoughts, the mind, the base carnal mind, which is deceitful and desperately wicked.
The way we think is the way of life, but it’s a way of death. We need God, and that’s what God wants the world to understand, as He brings them through the Tribulation and to the Millennium. Then we can restore everything! With Satan gone, you still have to deal with your carnal mind. But that spiritual poison is going to be neutralized! It’s going to be out, because Satan’s going to be gone:
he’s going to be cast out
he’s going to be put into an abyss
for a thousand years! He’s unable to broadcast, like he did with his wavelengths of:
evil
rebellion
stubbornness
pride
to go out into the human mind!
Joel 2:28 tells us what the condition in the Millennium will be so that man will have an opportunity to change. It’ll be so much easier. This tells us of a time in the future:
Joel 2:28: “And afterward it shall be that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh.”
During this period of time, God offers a complete, overall, a change of heart, an opportunity to be converted. Today we take this, we think of this for today, but this will also be available in the future.
Hebrews 8:10––Paul tells us: “‘For this is the covenant... [of life and death] ...that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days,’ says the Lord”
Israel will come back through that. There’ll be a remnant, a small amount that will come back into the Millennium.
“...‘I will give My laws into their minds, and I will inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people’” (v 10).
Ezek. 36 tells us the same thing. This was written by Ezekiel in the Old Testament. God promises:
Ezekiel 36:25: “And I will sprinkle clean waters upon you, and you shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from your idols.” That’s what David said, ‘cleanse my heart.’
Verse 26: “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh... [a soft heart] ...And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My ordinances and do them” (vs 26-27).
Keep My Laws and be happy! The law of love, love God ‘with all your heart, mind and soul and your neighbor as yourself.’ He’ll put that within them instead of them pushing God out. Instead of rebellion, there’s going to be an attitude in the society and in man that will be categorized and characterized by the love of God, a ‘philos’ and ‘agape’ love. We will teach the nations the foundational command that was back in Deut. 6:5.
We’re going to teach in the Millennium this same principle.
Deuteronomy 6:5: “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
Basic principle! That will permeate the society and every area of society, the government, finances, health, all of the things that are there, economy. There will be no military. We’re going to look at that. It’s going to permeate everything. In the Millennium, God’s love is not abstract, but it’s active and visible.
It’s going to be seen through the restoration process in everything, even the animal kingdom, even the hills, the flowers, the trees, the nations. They’re all going to live in harmony! Everything’s going to be in harmony, reflecting God’s original design, even justice, mercy, long-suffering, all those things!
God’s love characterizes the Millennium because it’s a time when God’s love is exercised in everything:
in the government
in mercy
in restoration
It’s a vision of the world where God’s justice and peace are not just ideals, but reality!
Where His love is the driving force behind every good thing, and everything that is done and said. This hope inspires believers; it inspires all of us to live right now faithfully and develop that sort of character that God wants us to have.
God’s love will one day be fully revealed to the world and everyone in it with the reign of Jesus Christ right there, and the sons and daughters as kings and priests, the saints. It’s going to be obvious.
When a good king rules, everyone is happy (Prov. 29:2).
There was a curse that fell upon the earth because of sin, and will be lifted and it’s going to transform the physical environment in ways that will make daily life an absolute joy! I walk out back during the morning and have my coffee and I look at the birds and the trees and the squirrels and everything and it really gives me a shot in the arm. It brings me close to God!
This will be true joy when we see this change. The animal kingdom: now in Satan’s world, it’s predatory! It is not harmonious. It’s the law of the jungle, kill or be killed, ‘survival of the fittest.’ Even we fear everything:
the spiders
the snakes
the wild beasts
and we keep our distance, and they keep their distance from us sometimes.
But in the Millennium, the very nature of wild animals will be changed. They’ll be restored to the way it was originally when Adam named the animals in the Garden of Eden. They weren’t predatory.
But that fall, that curse, that turning from God and rebelling and being put out under Satan disrupted the creation, making animals dangerous and hostile.
Remember this ‘earnest expectation of the creation is waiting the manifestation of the sons of God.’ So they could be delivered from this bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. It’s groaning and waiting just like we are. What a wonderful time this will be in the future.
When all of this is put back, the animal kingdom will no longer be predators. They will be liberated from the bondage and decay and restored:
Isaiah 11––This is a prophetic passage that talks about that promises that predators will no longer hunt and animals will grow up safely. It’s a restoration, restoring back to the original.
Isaiah 11:6: “Also, the wolf shall dwell with the lamb... [not seen today] ...and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the cub lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.”
Ambassador College did a video of a girl and a child and a lion all sitting together and the song was: It Won’t Be Long Now
It won’t be long now till the world is at peace, till troubles have ceased, it won’t be long.
Verse 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. And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper’s den. ‘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’” (vs 7-9).
The knowledge of the Lord involves all of this: love the laws following the principles of God and caring and loving for your neighbor and the animal world and the creation!
Isaiah 65:25: “The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox... [Can you imagine that was canines are probably going to be gone? I don’t know!] ...and dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not hurt nor destroy in all My Holy mountain,’ says the LORD.”
In Ezek. 34:25 we see another prophecy or indication of what it’s going to be like this restitution of all things that are going to happen in the Millennium. By day seven we’re looking back at this we’ve seen this now for all this time a thousand years we’re looking at it it’s a beautiful place and this is a joy.
Ezekiel 34:25: “And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land. And they shall dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. And I will make them, and the places around My hill, a blessing; and I will bring down the shower in its season. There shall be showers of blessing” (vs 25-26).
Probably more than rain, everywhere being blessed in every way!
Verse 27: “And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. And they shall be safe in their land...”
You can go out camping, you can go out walking in the woods, not anymore, there are reports of animals attacking people, so you can’t do that now. But you will be able to do that in the Millennium. Sleep in the woods if you want.
Verse 27: “And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. And they shall be safe in their land, and they shall know that I am the LORD...”
They’re going to have to be disciplined and brought back to that. Through all the things that go on in the battle of Armageddon, and all of that putting Satan away. That’s the point, to “...know that I am the LORD...”
“...when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hands of those who enslaved them” (v 27). Who is that? That’s Satan and his demons!
Verse 28: “And no more shall they be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beast of the land devour them. But they shall dwell safely, and none shall terrify them.”
Why will they not be devoured? Because the animals will be changed!. In the Millennium, animals are going to live in peace with us, reflecting God’s original intention for that creation!
Another thing that’s going to be restored is the climate and the weather patterns. I don’t know about you, but I have certainly seen some violent weather patterns. Some things that make you really scratch your head as to what’s going on! Is the weather pattern being changed? I don’t know!
But the earth will have its weather patterns changed. No more extreme weather, droughts, hurricanes, expanding deserts, and natural disasters that we see all the time!
Millions live in a barren situation in desolate regions in the desert. The deserts in the Millennium will bloom. The harsh climates of the earth will be healed. God promises that that shall happen. These waste places will be like Eden. They’re going to be happy and thankful.
Isaiah 51:3: “For the LORD shall comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.”
That makes me think of something that I heard about the birds. When they come out in the morning, they start singing, and chirping, and their song. Actually, the flowers respond and open up to that. They turn to it. They take in the dew, and take in the sunshine, and the fresh air. They’re interrelated. They work together. The creation has a voice of melody!
I remember a gentleman that was playing the guitar and singing with a very beautiful voice and very soft music. He would sit in an animal enclosure with all different kinds of animals. But he’d go into the rhinoceros area and start playing. Eventually you’d see the rhinoceros turn and come toward him. His ears were turning. He brought his horn and laid it on the guitar. He was feeling the vibration of that and listening to the man’s voice.
All of them did that. A seal came up behind him, put his head on his back, and listened to him sing. He felt that vibration. There’s a voice of melody in the creation! They respond to that. God created them that way!
Ezek. 36 is talking about these deserts blooming and all these things are going to be gone. These whole waste places.
Ezekiel 36:34: “And the wasteland shall be tilled, instead of being desolate before all who pass by. And they shall say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the Garden of Eden....’” (vs 34-35).
The restitution of all things! Back to the way it was. God uses agriculture, the cycle of planting and growth and harvest:
to teach us
for us to learn
Agriculture has been devastated as well. Famines and all the things that have happened. I can’t get anything to grow in the garden.
I think there’s something I did when I first moved here, but now I can’t get anything to grow. I’ve changed the dirt and all of that. There’s something not right. I know it’s probably me, but I can get some things to grow, but I can’t get everything to grow. But anyway, today famine ravages everything, everywhere. The soil is depleted. The erosion and the practices of greed blow off. The wind erosion and water erosion on the farms are starting to lose their topsoil. Pestilence, unpredictable rain and change in the rain currents and the rain patterns.
They leave millions hungry. The ground is devastated. But in the Millennium, agriculture will cause abundance in food! It’ll be so great that famine will be a thing of the past. Several Scriptures in Ezek. tells us about this.
Verse 29: “I will also save you from all your uncleannesses...”
All things that you’ve done that Satan has encouraged you to do All the things that you’ve sinned in that way against God and against the principles!
“...and I will call for the grain, and will increase it, and will lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruits of the tree and the increase of the field, so that you shall never again receive the curse of famine among the nations” (vs 29-30).
Those curses will be gone. The ground will be restored. The practices that cause these famines and food not being able to be grown will be gone.
Isaiah 65:21: “They will not build, and another live in them... [no more homeless] ... they will not plant, and another eat; for like the days of a tree are so will be the days of My people, and My elect will long enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for calamity. For they are the seed of the beloved of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear” (vs 21-24).
He answers quickly. He knows because we’re doing what is pleasing to God. The Spirit is everywhere. He is listening to us because we don’t have evil thoughts in our mind anymore. Satan is not influencing us. We have our own problems with our carnal mind. We have now, but the world in the Millennium will have that!
Verse 25: “‘The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not hurt nor destroy in all My Holy mountain,’ says the LORD.”
Isaiah 55:10 talks about this natural cycle of rain and tells us that it’s going to be perfectly balanced the way it’s supposed to be. The former and the latter rain. It’ll follow the patterns, the seasons, and things that will come and go. Which they don’t do now. We just have very, very violent periods of time or nothing at all.
Isaiah 55:10: “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My Word be which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall certainly do what I sent it to do. For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break out before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands” (vs 10-12).
Again, the creation singing and responding; happy with the Spirit of God everywhere. Thorns and briars didn’t come around in the Garden. They happened after that. Today, agriculture is overrun with these weeds and briars and thorns. It reminds us of Genesis and the Genesis curse that happened.
But in the Millennium, the flowers and the plants of the earth will be restored to their beauty. They won’t have to pick out all the weeds and everything. They’re going to be gorgeous.
Verse 13: “Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off.”
A memorial of the way that it was. It shall not be cut off, it’s going to be that way forever. It’s not going to come back. It’s going to be restored. The restitution of all things happening!
We look back from this seventh day back on all of this and the beauty. We praise God and thank Him!
Government in Satan’s world is stressful, unstable, and it’s corrupt for the most part. There’s also this constant threat of military conflict. We always have that. I think maybe seven years out of the history of man, there’s been peace.
In the Millennium, these institutions will be completely rebuilt. Economics, the greed and debt will change to wealth and equity. Everything that’s done so that you keep your land. If you inherited it, they don’t take it from you. All the things, the tithing and everything that’s put into the government and into the society to help one another. But today it’s built on:
debt
inflation
taxation
corporate greed.
at least millions in poverty
You can barely have enough money from week to week to buy groceries. While a small amount of people get wealthy. Mom and Pop shops are going away, have gone away. The Walmarts are there, but even they are a conglomerate. Everything has been showing this one-world ruling government! This power base is coming!
The economy is going to be built on God’s Law. The simple tithing system takes care of the widows and everything that needs to be done in the community. God will bless the physical wealth of the earth, making precious metals and resources abundant. In other words, oil, gold, all the things are going to be abundant.
Isa. 60:17 tells us that. God can do that. He can make the gold and the silver that’s already there be found and come up or replace it, make it make more, make it multiply.
Isaiah 60:17: “For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver; and for wood I will bring bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make your overseers to be peace, and your rulers to be righteousness. Violence will no more be heard in your land, neither wasting nor ruin within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise” (vs 17-18). Isn’t that amazing?
Verse 21: “Your people also will all be righteous; they will inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified. A smallest will become a thousand, and the least one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in its time” (vs 21-22). All to glorify God!
Daily life is going to be free from crime and robbery and financial ruin. Everything will be restored and put back. Every family will be able to secure the ownership of its land. They won’t lose it. They won’t lose it like before. Everybody will be sitting under his own vine and under his own fig tree.
The political corruption in governments now will be changed to the rule of the saints under Jesus Christ, the King. No more corruption and oppression and lying and self-serving leaders, but servants and shepherds!
Christ is going to rule from Jerusalem and be king over the entire earth, supported by the saints as kings and priests and teachers. Everyone is going to be happy. They’re going to be happy.
Psalm 47:1: “Clap your hands, all you people; shout to God with the voice of triumph, for the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us and nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom He loved. Selah. God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a horn. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises, for God is King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding. God reigns over the nations; God sits upon the throne of His Holiness” (vs 1-8).
You sing those praises because you understand that God is good. All the things that are happening right now around you are because of God’s presence and love and the Holy Spirit.
Those administrations of righteousness are going to be establishing stability based on the fact that that righteousness is there under this government.
Remember about David. Christ is going to sit on the throne of David. That’s prophesied in:
Ezekiel 37:24: “And David My servant shall be king over them. And there shall be one shepherd to all of them. And they shall walk in My ordinances and obey My Laws, and do them.” Amazing!
no more fighting
no more armies
no more military
no more war-torn nations
But total disarmament and love!
Nations today under Satan spend trillions of dollars developing terrible weapons of mass destruction. Some we don’t even know. I did some research on it.
There’s some things that are amazing. You wouldn’t think. Things that we don’t see, they don’t tell us about. There are amazing weapons of mass destruction being developed. They train millions of young people to fight and to kill.
But under the Government of God, those military industrial complexes will be completely dismantled. The places of teaching war will be gone.
Micah 4:3: “And He shall judge among many people, and will rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. But they shall sit each one under his own vine and under his own fig tree; and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken, for all people will walk, each one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever” (vs 3-5).
That’s interesting because that goes on out. Each one in the name of his small ‘g.’ That’s the kings and the priests who have been changed and are spirit beings.
We will walk in the name of our ‘LORD’: God the Father in Jesus Christ. We’re going to walk in the name of the Father our God forever and ever!
There are not going to be any standing armies, no military academies, no weapons of mass destruction. Peace will be absolute! ‘My peace that I leave you’ will be now the law of the land!
There’s a final judgment that has to take place. On this 7th day of the Feast, it is critical because billions of people will be born into this perfect environment. They’re going to grow up with this perfect education. Everything’s perfect:
perfect food
visible spirit teachers
no temptation
no demonic influence
Yet, they have free moral agency and the right to choose right from wrong for salvation!
They become complacent and Laodicean. This is a great warning for us right now as we strive not to become Laodicean! Not that we are, but you’ve got to guard against that! What happened with the Laodiceans, they were rich and increased with goods.
At the end of the Millennium, that last generation has a massive problem with complacency and a Laodicean attitude. They’re born into that society. They have this silver spoon in their mouth, you know, and human nature tends to get bored or ‘I don’t need to do anything. I’m rich and increased with goods’:
they’re going to resent their teachers
they’re going to resent being told what to do
The visible Government of Christ and the saints, it’s going to be tough for them. It’s going to be tough to bring this final generation into a conversion and a change to walk with God!
Day 7 pictures this dramatic climax, this exile of unrepentant to Gog and Magog just like Adam and Eve were put out of Eden, and Cain was sent to Nod. God’s going to exile these unrepentant nations and individual to a specific geographic territory called Gog and Magog.
Revelation 20:7: “Now, when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; and he shall go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea, to gather them together...”
That’s a lot of people. You wouldn’t, I was surprised when I read that. That in that environment, that that many people would be rebellious and not want to do––and get on the game plan here with what it takes––to yield and submit to God and His Way!
Now here we have Satan left out for a short season to come and be, to act on them, on the exiled and the bitter people and the carnal-minded people in Gog and Magog and tell them he’s ‘God.’ and they should go down and take over. You know:
they haven’t had any wars
they don’t have any armies or any ‘West Points’
they’re just sitting ducks down there
Let’s go get them! They do, but God’s going to protect his people, and:
Verse 9: “Then I saw them go up upon the breadth of the earth and encircle the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven and consumed them.”
This is their first death! They’re killed and consumed. That’s the final judgment of Satan and his demons. The permanent removal at the end of Day 7 of that ultimate source of evil, the devil!
Verse 10: “And the Devil, who deceived them, was cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet had been cast; and they, Satan and the demons, shall be tormented day and night into the ages of eternity.”
To be permanently cast into the blackest darkness forever. Completely cut off from God!
That is a warning to everyone: that being rebellious and stubborn doesn’t pay! Here we are at the end of the 7th day, looking at what’s forward, knowing that IF you rebel, you don’t do things right, there’s going to be consequences. The Lake of Fire is looming over there. But yet, you turn around and you see all this beauty and all this wondrous love of God and the things that He’s restored. What a wonderful world tomorrow is going to be!
We could focus on that, and that is our hope! We need to keep focused on that. You know, we used to live in a neighborhood where we didn’t have locked doors, and there were very few sirens. Of course, there’s always been war and disease. But we were filled with this––and of course, I was younger––joy and this pursuit of doing things the way God wants it done! Building, gardening, creating, learning things; the same thing that will be in the Millennium. Life is anchored in the presence of God and there’s joy when that happens.
Isaiah describes a beautiful daily connection between man and his Creator.
Isaiah 65:24: “And it shall come to pass, before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
As we mentioned before, an incredible calling that we’re preparing for today to help train those in the Millennium. We’re being trained through the trials and the suffering and the grief that we go through to become kings and priests and teachers to help usher in this glorious age.
Let’s heed the warning of the latest sin, complacency. Let’s be:
zealous
fired up
find a first love again
IF we’ve gotten in the doldrums and down
love God with all our heart
yield to the Holy Spirit and its lead
So that we may stand on that day:
ready to teach
ready to serve
ready to welcome all of humanity
into the wonderful, peaceful Kingdom of God!.
Have a wonderful rest of the Feast, what’s left of this day, and a Last Great Day coming up tomorrow.
