Today we want to continue to talk about the purpose and character of the Millennium. Isaiah gives us more insight of the nature and character of this Kingdom reign of Jesus Christ in Isaiah 11:3-9: “His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity fo...

When we get to Revelation 20, John has taken us through the Tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ in chapters 4 to 19. Now John is sharing with us about the one-thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. He tells us that both the saints who were martyred in the Tribulation by the Antichrist, and all those who are part of the first resurrection, will reign with Christ. Remember the “first resurrecti...

Twice in this brief passage we read, “And they reigned with Christ for a thousand years” (vv. 4, 6).   It is so clear to me that this is a literal time period that fulfills hundreds of promises and prophesies of both the Old and New Testaments! As we have said before, this Millennium reign of Christ take place at the very end of the Seven-year Tribulation, which takes place shortly after the...

Twice in this brief passage we read, “And they reigned with Christ for a thousand years” (vv. 4, 6).   It is so clear to me that this is a literal time period that fulfills hundreds of promises and prophesies of both the Old and New Testaments! The people of this world today that refuse to believe in God, and the Bible as the Word of God, have no clue what the future holds. They have no real...

“And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years” (v. 4).   For sure this is one of the greatest prophetic utterances of the Bible! It is also one of the most awesome promises to the Tribulation saints who suffered and died in the Tribulation. I believe that this is a literal thousand years that Christ with His bride, the church, and with Israel will rule the world from the throne...

"...And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years . ” In Revelation 20, Joh...

Today we begin a new chapter that reveals to us the defeat of Satan at the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the setting up of the His thousand-year reign.  First John sees an angel coming down out of heaven with a key and a great chain. The identity of the angel whom John saw coming down from heaven to bind Satan is not disclosed, but he may be Michael the archangel, the great adver...

Remember John described Jesus Christ coming as the Conqueror (Rev. 19:11-16).  Now in these verses (Rev. 19:17-20:3), John tells us about His conquests at His Second Coming. In this passage we are told how Jesus defeats the kings of the earth and their armies, the beast (Antichrist) and his false prophet, and finally Satan (Rev. 20:1-3). Yesterday we talked about the defeat of the armies of t...

When I was a young kid in school (years ago), I’ll never forget how in gym class I always wanted to be chosen to be on the team that had the best players in whatever sport we were playing that day because I wanted to win so bad. I always wanted to be on the team that won! But you would never knew for sure until the game was over what the final score was that determined who won. Today, I’m thrilled...

"He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God." Yesterday we talked about the names of Jesus found in this passage. I believe the name that impacts us the most is “The Word of God.” Jesus is the Living Word! When you read the Bible, you are reading Jesus. You are interacting with a person! Jesus said to His disciples, “The words that I speak unto you, they are...

When we read the above verses about this great event called the Second Coming, we can’t help but notice the emphasis on the names of Jesus. Bible scholars have identified over 700 names and titles of God in the Bible. Our God and Savior, Jesus Christ is so awesome and great, that one name or even a hundred names is not enough to describe and reveal His character and attributes! And all His names f...

The First Advent of Jesus Christ coming to earth changed everything!!!! He came as a baby in a manger and lived in obscurity for the first thirty years of His life. For the next three and a half years He ministered to the multitudes as He miraculously fed the hungry, gave sight to the blind, caused to lame to walk, cure the sick, healed the lepers, cast out demons, loved the children and proclaime...

Actually, there are more prophesies of Christ second coming to the earth than there are of His first coming as a baby in a manger in Bethlehem. In studying these prophecies especially in the Old Testament, we need to remember that the church age was hidden to the prophets. You can only find the church in types and pictures in the OT. So, there are no references to the coming of the Lord for the ch...

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns." Yesterday in Revelation 19:7-10, we talked about the biggest wedding that will ever take place in human history. It is called “the marriage of the Lamb”!  Today, we want to...

In Revelation 19 John gets a preview of the biggest wedding to ever take place in human history. It is called “the marriage of the Lamb”! The bride, of course, is the church (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:22-33) which is made up of all the believers who have been saved by faith starting on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) all the way to the day of the rapture of the church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Jesus Chri...

In Revelation 19-20, John has recorded five key events that will take place before God "wraps up" human history and ushers in His new heavens and earth. The first event is heaven is rejoicing. There is rejoicing because Babylon has fallen (Rev. 19:1-4).  Heaven is also rejoicing because, “The Lord God omnipotent has begun to reign ” (Rev. 19:5-6). Then, there is rejoicing because of a wedding...

“ Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." In Revelation 19-20 John has recorded five key events that will take place before God "wraps up" human history and ushers in His new heavens and earth. The first event is heaven is rejoicing because Babylon has fallen. The “great harlot” has been judged. (Rev. 19:1-4). &nbs...

The Bible is the one Book that holds the key to the future. There are many reasons that we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God without error, and the most reliable source to tell us about the future. But one reason that stands out is the fulfilled prophecies especially concerning Israel and Jesus Christ the Messiah. Bible scholars tell us that there at least 300 Messianic (Jesus-rel...

“ After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God..." Over the ages people have been asking the big questions. Who am I? Where am I from? What am I here for or what is my purpose in life, and where am I going? They have turned to the philosophers who have given them so many different answer...

“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!" Remember in this chapter we hear at least four voices. The first voice was the voice of destruction by the mighty angel from heaven (vv. 1-3), proclaiming “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen.” The second was a voice from heaven calling God’s people to come out of this worldly ungodly system. “Come...

In Revelation 18, the final destruction, by God Himself, of economic, commercial and political Babylon, is being described by John. In this chapter we hear at least four voices. The first voice was the voice of destruction by the mighty angel from heaven (vv. 1-3), proclaiming “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen.”  The second was a voice from heaven calling God’s people to come out of thi...

In Revelation 17, ecclesiastical, religious Babylon is destroyed by the Antichrist and his ten kings, after he uses her to rise to power in the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. After she is gone, the Antichrist sets up his one world, global economic and political system, also called Babylon, by which he is able to rule the world and demands that it worship him. Now in Revelation 18, the f...

"For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." Now in Revelation 18, the final destruction by God Himself of economic, commercial and political Babylon is being described by John. In this chapter we hear at least four voices.  The first voice was the voice of destruction by the mighty angel from heaven (vv. 1-3), proclaiming “Babylon the great is fallen, is fall...

“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." I don’t think we can begin to imagine the wicked and evil conditions of the world during this last three and a half years of the Tribulation. Remember Jesus said it would be like in...
