THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST

(Revelation 20, AMP)

Then I saw an angel descending from Heaven;

He was holding the Key of the Abyss—The bottomless Pit--

And a Great Chain was in his hand.

And he gripped and overpowered the Dragon,

That old Serpent of Primeval times, Who is the Devil and Satan,

And [securely] bond him for a Thousand Years.

Then he hurled him into the Abyss—the bottomless Pit--

And closed it and sealed it above him,

SO HE COULD NO LONGER LEAD ASTRAY

AND DECEIVE AND SEDUCE THE NATIONS

Until the Thousand Years were at an End.

After that he must be liberated for a Short Time.

Then I saw Thrones, and sitting on them were those

To whom authority to act as Judges

And Pass Sentence was Entrusted

ALSO I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE

WHO HAD BEEN SLAIN WITH AXES

(BEHEADED) FOR THEIR WITNESSING TO JESUS

AND [FOR PREACHING AND TESTIFYING]

FOR THE WORD OF GOD,

And who had Refused to pay Homage

To the Beast or his Statue

And has not accepted his “mark”

Or permitted it to be Stamped

On their Foreheads or on their hands,

And they lived again, and Ruled with Christ, the Messiah,

A Thousand Years. [Dan. 7:9, 22, 27.]

The Remainder of the Dead were not restored to life again

Until the Thousand Years were completed.

THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.

BLESSED (happy, to be envied) and Holy—Spiritual Whole,

Of Unimpaired Innocence and Proved Virtue--

Is the Person who takes part (shares) in the First Resurrection!

OVER THEM THE SECOND DEATH

EXERTS NO POWER OR AUTHORITY,

But they shall be Ministers of God

And of Christ, the Messiah,

And they shall Rule along with Him a Thousand Years.

AND WHEN THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE COMPLETED,

Satan will be released from his place of confinement,

AND HE WILL GO FORTH

TO DECEIVE AND SEDUCE AND LEAD ASTRAY THE NATIONS

Which are in the Four Quarters of the Earth,

That is Gog and Magog, To Muster them for War;

Their number is as the sand of the sea.

[Ezek. 38:2, 9, 15, 22.]

And they swarmed up over the broad plain of the Earth

And Encircled the Fortress (camp) of God's People (the Saints)

And the Beloved City;

But Fire Descended from Heaven and CONSUMED them.

[2 Kings 1:10-12; Ezek. 38:2, 22.]

Then the Devil who had led them Astray—

Deceiving and Seducing them--

Was hurled into the Fiery Lake of Burning Brimstone

Where the Beast and False Prophet were;

And they will be Tormented Day and Night FOREVER AND EVER--

Through the Ages of the Ages.

Then I saw a Great White Throne

And the One Who was seated on it,

From Whose Presence and from the sight of Whose face

Earth and Sky Fled Away and no place was found for them.

I [ALSO] SAW THE DEAD, GREAT AND SMALL;

They stood before the Throne, and the Books were opened.

Then another Book was opened, which is [The Book] of LIFE.

And the Dead were Judged (sentenced) by what they had done

[Their whole way of feeling and acting, their aims and endeavors]

In Accordance with what was RECORDED IN THE BOOKS.

And the sea delivered up the Dead who were in it,

Death and Hades [the state of death or disembodied existence]

Surrendered the Dead in them;

AND ALL WERE TRIED AND THEIR CASES DETERMINED

By what they had done--

According to their Motives, Aims and Works.

Then Death and Hades

[The state of death or disembodied existence]

Were thrown into the Lake of Fire.

This is the Second Death, the Lake of Fire.

And if any one's [name] was not Recorded in THE BOOK OF LIFE,

He was hurled into the Lake of Fire.

(Revelation 20, AMP)

What are we Witnesses to Today?

EVERY NATION DECEIVED AND SEDUCED BY SATAN!

Why!

BECAUSE THEY HAVE REFUSE TO LOVE THE TRUTH.

(2 Thessalonians. 2:19)

SOON, Satan will Reveal his son,

The Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist

And the Whole World will worship him and Receive his “mark,”

Damning themselves to and Eternal Hell.

THIS WILL BE PRECEDED BY A GREAT APOSTASY,

A FALLING AWAY FORM FAITH IN GOD AND HIS WORD.

(Matt. 24:10; 2 Thess. 2:3; Dan. 8:12)

It is Instructive that a Thousand Years of Perfection,

The Rule and Reign of Christ Jesus,

Is not enough to Prevent Satan, when loosed once again,

From Deceiving the Nations.

This is a Demonstration of the Hopelessness and Helplessness

Of mankind in the face of Satan,

And apart from Faith in Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
