What a mighty moment in
time as we share an amazing, powerful, beautiful, exciting and a peaceful
destiny that awaits those who have washed their garments in
the precious blood of Him who was sent to mankind so that them who believe in
Him will not perish but have eternal life: The LORD Jesus Christ.
So the LORD is going to take
us through this very lovely, powerful, exciting, joyful, peaceful, fulfilling
and beautiful destination that is soon going to be availed to them who have
embraced absolute Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete
Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.
So after having gone through
the trying, difficult, worrisome, chaotic life on earth full of tears and
sorrow; The LORD God Almighty, The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit have
prepared in store the most glorious destiny for The Children of God to rest,
enjoy, be satisfied and be fulfilled forever and ever. These destinies
are what are known as: The Millennium reign and then
followed thereafter by: The New Jerusalem.
The millennium reign
will be a time and a moment to restore the earth to what it was initially meant
to be when God Almighty created man (Adam and Eve) and placed them in the
Garden of Eden. So millennium reign will be to restore
mankind and the earth to what it was initially purposed to be: Beautiful,
exciting, joyful and peaceful etc.
So the millennium reign
will be right here on the earth but it will be a totally different earth since
The LORD will remove evil and all evil men who have refused to accept the
sacrifice offered by The LORD Jesus Christ to restore them to God Almighty
through His precious blood that He shed at the cross of Calvary so that all
those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Therefore, it
is absolutely very important to note that it is only through the blood of The
LORD Jesus Christ that mankind is restored back to The Creater of Heaven and
The Earth, The God of The Universe: The LORD God Almighty.
Buddha, Mohammed, Haile
Selassie, Hindu gods-Krishna etc, Mormonism, Illuminati, Jesuits, Rastafarianism,
new age movement, Free masonry, spiritual guides, Yoga and meditation in which they
worship Hindu gods and goddess knowingly or unknowingly etc are all pathways to
eternal destruction: Hell.
New Jerusalem will be a reward
to those mankind who lived in the fear of The LORD and worshiped the LORD in
truth and in spirit and effectively chose to accept the sacrifice offered by
God Almighty for the redemption and restoration of mankind back to God
Almighty: The blood sacrifice by The LORD Jesus Christ at the cross
of Calvary. These are them who embraced absolute Repentance,
Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.
After the millennium reign (1,000-year
reign) with the redeemed on the earth by The LORD Jesus Christ, the redeemed of
The LORD will then be taken to New Jerusalem which is based in a level of
Heaven (even though it is brought down from up in Heaven). Here they will stay
forever and ever and ever i.e. eternity. The present earth will actually pass
away (gone forever).
So at this juncture we are
going to discuss the key parameters that will be at the centre of the
millennium reign:
THE KEY PARAMETERS THAT
WILL BE AT THE CENTRE OF THE MILLENNIUM REIGN:
1-The
millennium reign will be a time when The LORD Jesus Christ will reign on the
earth as The King of The earth. So The LORD Jesus Christ
will be based at the centre of the earth which is Jerusalem in Israel and as
The King of Kings He will reign on the earth. The LORD will reign together with
His servants who will form part of the royal priest-hood.
This reign of The LORD as the
king of Kings is well stated in the book of Zechariah 14:6-9 “On
that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. It will
be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between
day and night. When evening comes, there will be light. On that day living
water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of
it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter. The Lord will
be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his
name the only name.”
The LORD also revealed to
Apostle John this coming reign of The LORD Jesus Christ on the earth, and this
is stated in the book of Revelation 19:14-16 “The
armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed
in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword
with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron
scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God
Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king
of kings and lord of lords.”
2-The
LORD Jesus Christ will tabernacle amongst His people on the earth during the
millennium reign. The people of the earth will live in peace and joy.
And so there will be no fear of harm or attack because all the evil
and evil men shall have been wiped away from the face of the earth. So
The LORD will live amongst men (and women) on the earth and He will protect His
people and His people will live in safety, never again will they be
afraid.
This is well stated in the
book of Zephaniah 3:9 “But I will leave within
you the meek and humble. The remnant of
Israel will trust in the name of the Lord. They will
do no wrong; they will tell no lies. A deceitful
tongue will not be found in their mouths. They will eat and
lie down and no one will make them afraid.” Sing,
Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your
heart, Daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken
away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord,
the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm. On
that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not
let your hands hang limp. The Lord your God is with
you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in
you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over
you with singing.”
Zechariah, the prophet of The
LORD also was shown this coming tabernacle of The LORD amongst His people, and
this is stated in the book of Zechariah 2:10-13 “Shout
and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,”
declares the Lord. “Many nations will be joined with
the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live
among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent
me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the
holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. Be still before the Lord,
all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
3- During
the millennium reign, the Mountain of The LORD’s temple will
be established and The LORD Jesus Christ will be in this mountain and people
will stream to see The LORD Jesus Christ and He will teach the people when they
go to Him His ways so that the people may walk in the path of The LORD; The
narrow path of absolute Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete
Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ. On this path of the LORD, the people who
have no fear of The LORD i.e. who lack wisdom and so are wicked fools will not
be allowed on this highway of The LORD. This is well stated in the book
of Isaiah 35:8-10 “And a highway will be
there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those
who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools
will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor any ravenous
beast; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will
walk there, and those the Lord has rescued will return. They
will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee
away.”
The LORD also revealed to His
servant Micah this upcoming mountain temple of The LORD where The LORD will
reside. This is stated in the book of Micah 1:1-2 “In
the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be
established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above
the hills, and peoples will stream to it. Many nations will come
and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of
the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his
paths.”
Zechariah was also shown this upcoming uplifting
of Jerusalem in readiness for the millennium reign of The LORD Jesus Christ and
this is stated in the book of Zechariah 14:10-11 “The
whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the
Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to
the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel
to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place. It will be
inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.”
4-During
millennium reign, people will go To Jerusalem to not only worship The LORD but
to also give their offerings to The LORD as a form of worship and
praise.
This is well stated in the
book of Zephaniah 3:9- “Then I will purify the lips
of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve
him shoulder to shoulder. From beyond the rivers of
Cush my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings.”
Those who will not go to
worship The LORD will be punished while those who go to worship The LORD will
be rewarded with rain and sacred items from The LORD etc.
This is well stated in the
book of Zechariah 14:16-21 “Then the survivors from
all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year
to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival
of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. If
the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain.
The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations
that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. This will
be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go
up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. On that day holy to
the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the
cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the
altar. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to
the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of
the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a
Canaanite in the house of the Lord Almighty.”
5-During
millennium reign, The LORD Jesus Christ will be the supreme judge on the earth
and He will settle disputes amongst the nations; and as a righteous
judge there will thus be no war or nations training for war.
This is well stated in the
book of Micah 4:3 “He will judge between many
peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They
will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning
hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train
for war.”
6-During
the millennium reign, The LORD will comfort His people and will wipe away their
tears.
This is well stated in the
book of Isaiah 66:12-14 “For this is what the Lord says: “I
will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations
like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her
arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother
comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be
comforted over Jerusalem.” When you see this, your heart will
rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of
the Lord will be made known to his servants,”
7-During
the millennium reign, all the land will flourish with water and even the
previously desert land will be full of water and vegetation will grow on the
land and so all the land will be fertile. The climate and weather patterns will
be constant and will be favorable all the year. There will also be no
distinction between day and night because when evening comes ushering the
night, there will be light. And this light will be the glory of The LORD.
This is well stated in the
book of Isaiah 35:1-2 “The desert and the parched
land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the
crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and
shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of
Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of
the Lord, the splendor of our God.”
Also in the book of Isaiah
35:7 “The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty
ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and
reeds and papyrus will grow.”
Zechariah the prophet of The
LORD was shown this upcoming constant and favorable weather that will be on the
earth during the millennium reign, and this is stated in the book of Zechariah
14:6-8 “On that day there will be neither sunlight nor
cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique day—a day
known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When
evening comes, there will be light. On that day living water will flow out from
Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the
Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.”
8-During
the millennium reign all those who were previously blind, deaf, lame, mute
tongues, feeble hands, knees that gives way will all be set free.
This is well stated in the
book of Isaiah 35:3-6 “Strengthen the feeble
hands, steady the knees that give way. Say to those
with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he
will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to
save you.” Then will the eyes of the blind be
opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will
the lame leap like a deer and the mute tongue shout for joy.”
So at this next particular
juncture we are going to discuss the key parameters that not only describe but
also form the features that will be at the centre of the New Jerusalem:
THE KEY DESCRIPTION AND
FEATURES OF THE NEW JERUSALEM
(i)- The
New Jerusalem is a replica of the old Jerusalem on the earth. That’s
why it derives its name from Jerusalem. Just as The LORD tabernacles
(lives amongst men) in Jerusalem on the earth during the millennium reign so
will He tabernacle in The New Jerusalem with the redeemed.
That’s why apostle John heard
it being announced as he was being shown the upcoming New Jerusalem and its
stated in the book of Revelation 21:3 “And I heard a
loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among
the people and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God
himself will be with them and be their God.”
(ii)- The new Jerusalem
is a reward presented by The LORD God Almighty to His people; them who have
washed their garment clean, bright and spotless and have been obedient and
faithful to The LORD.
It is like a very beautiful,
well dressed present/gift offered by The LORD God Almighty to reward His
children who have been redeemed by having embraced absolute Repentance,
Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.
The beauty of this present/gift by The LORD God Almighty is that it is eternal
and so eternally enduring and it’s pure and very beautiful. That’s why it is
stated in the book of Revelation 21:2 “I saw
the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared
as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband”
(iii)- In
New Jerusalem, the people of God will be in a state of joy, peace, life and
maximum satisfaction. This will be the place where
when people say: “We are enjoying life then the true meaning of it will
dawn on the redeemed.” This will be the real life to be enjoyed, and
the good part of it is that it is eternal and permanent. And
that’s why The LORD Showed apostle John what He states as follows in the book
of Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from
their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
(iv)- In
New Jerusalem, God Almighty will be making everything new. Meaning that in The
new Jerusalem, the corrupt, filthy, deformed, unpleasant, violent, chaotic,
disorganized, unpredictable, evil, thirst, death and fearsome characteristics and
features that denotes the present day earth will not be found there in The New
Jerusalem. Everything will be made new for the glory and honor of The
LORD as He rewards and dwells amongst His children in unbelievably beautiful,
magnificent and glorious environment.
That’s why The LORD states as
follows in the book of Revelation 21:5-7 “He who
was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then
he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said
to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the
End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water
of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all
this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
As a serious warning, to those
who are disobedient to The LORD God Almighty and have rejected the sacrifice
offered by The LORD God Almighty for redemption and restoration, The LORD gives
a very serious warning to what awaits such obedient children if they don’t turn
away in time from their lifestyles of sins. This warning of The LORD is in the
book of Revelation 21:8 “But the cowardly, the
unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice
magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery
lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
(v)- The
new Jerusalem has got the glory and the brightness of The LORD. It takes the
features of the bride of Christ and so it’s shinning with the same brilliance
as the bride of Christ who during the wedding supper
of the lamb was given fine linen to wear just as stated in the book of Revelation
19:7-8 “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him
glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself
ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.”(Fine
linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
So since the bride of Christ
has assumed such glory, brightness, cleanness and fineness from The LORD by
being given a fine linen to wear and so a place comparable to the
features that now attests to the bride of Christ has thus now assumed likeness,
similarities and comparison to the bride of Christ; and that’s why it is also
now called the bride of Christ (The New Jerusalem). That’s why The
LORD showed apostle John what is stated in the book of Revelation
2:9-11 “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full
of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you
the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the
Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City,
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It
shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very
precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.”
(vi)- To
show that it is a replica of the city where once The LORD Jesus Christ dwell in
and tabernacle in, the new Jerusalem will recognize the things that Israel, a
chosen nation of God Almighty had. That’s why it is stated in the book
of Revelation 21:12-14 “It had a great, high wall
with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates
were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There
were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on
the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”
(vii)- The
New Jerusalem will be made of very precious stones, the kind of which is very
rare on the earth. This
will make it very beautiful and exciting.
This is well expounded on in
the book of Revelation 21:18-21 “The wall was
made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The
foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.
The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the
fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh
chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the
eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates
were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street
of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.”
(viii)- In
the New Jerusalem, The LORD God Almighty and The LORD Jesus Christ are the
temples since they dwell amongst the redeemed children of The LORD who worship
and praise The LORD. There is thus no need for a temple in New
Jerusalem because The LORD tabernacles amongst His children.
That’s why John the apostle
stated what he was shown in the book of Revelation 21:22 “I
did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the
Lamb are its temple.”
(ix)- Since The LORD
dwells in The New Jerusalem, His glory brightens and shines The New Jerusalem
and so The Holy City of New Jerusalem does not close its gates because of the
worries of nightfall.
That’s why apostle John was
shown what he stated as follows in the book of Revelation 21:23-26 “The
city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God
gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations
will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor
into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be
no night there. The glory and honor of the nations
will be brought into it.”
(x)- The Holy city of
New Jerusalem is for those who are Holy.
The LORD forewarns
the people and the nations of the earth in the book of Hebrew 12:14 “Make
every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness
no-one will see the Lord.” So those who live in Holiness will
eventually be allowed entrance into the Holy City of New Jerusalem and these
are them who have embraced absolute Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Truth
and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ and so have their names written
in the lamb’s book of life. That’s why The LORD declares in the book of Revelation
21:27 “Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone
who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written
in the Lamb’s book of life.”.
What a painful, agonizing
eternity that awaits those who are disobedient and rebel against The LORD by
rejecting His Sacrificial Lamb: The LORD Jesus Christ. The LORD reveals what
awaits them in the book of Isaiah 66:22-24 “As
the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares
the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. From one New
Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow
down before me,” says the Lord. “And they will go out and look on the
dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not
die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome
to all mankind.”
May We All Embrace Absolute
Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to the LORD
Jesus Christ So That We Make It to the Glorious and The Magnificent
Millennium Reign and the New Jerusalem and Eternity.
SHALOM!!!
PREPARE THE WAY IN ABSOLUTE
REPENTANCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, TRUTH AND COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST (YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH). TIME IS ABSOLUTELY OVER; THE MESSIAH JESUS
CHRIST IS IMMINENTLY COMING TO PICK HIS BRIDE!!!
REPENTANCE PRAYER

I acknowledge today that you
are LORD and savior of all mankind,
and today I have recognized my
shortfall,
I repent and turn away from
all sin.
Please cover me with your
precious blood,
and establish your word in my
life,
that I may be found in righteousness
and holiness
and write my name in your book
of life
and baptize me with the power
of the Holy Spirit
in the mighty name of Jesus
Christ.
Amen.

Kevin Mirasi
This is definitely one of my favorite subjects in the bible! Please, brother Kevin, please pray for me and my family that we will properly do what seems fit and right in the eyes of the Lord so we may be rapture ready and be a spotless, blameless bride of Christ.
ReplyDeleteI feel like one reason for the millennium reign is God helping us and giving us time in the peaceful presence of Jesus to become more holy, prepared, and ready to take our next step in New Jerusalem. I have always wondered what happens in and after NJ. I guess we'll see. God bless brother and please pray for us.
