Revelation

Please see commentary at the bottom of page
 

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVOIR OF THE GENTILES AND  MESSIAH OF ISRAEL

 

These scriptures tell you how to be saved and become a Christian with the promise of eternal life in Gods soon coming millennial kingdom.

 

MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

 

You can read all about the millennial kingdom where we will rule and reign with Jesus Christ for a thousand years here on earth.  

 

Click on one of the Bibles provided on this web site.  After you open the online Bible go to the book of Revelation, chapter 19.  

 

There in the 19th chapter, you will read about the return of Jesus Christ with the armies of heaven dressed in white robes.  These people on white horses following Jesus back to earth are none other than the saints of all ages who had accepted Jesus as their Savoir and were taken to heaven seven years before.  

 

In 1st Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 11 through 18, describes what Christians call the rapture of the church.  Where the believers through out all ages who have died are resurrected from their graves.  Born again believers in Christ who are alive on earth, are called up to heaven to remain with the Lord until he comes back on a white horse; and his believers follow him down to earth where he sets up his Kingdom, and rules the earth in peace and righteousness.  

 

The millennial kingdom will last for One Thousand years.  All the people that had a part in the first resurrection will be immortal and live forever with Jesus.  His temple and throne will be in his favourite city on earth, Jerusalem. 

 

The Jewish people of Israel will finally accept him as their King and the nation of Israel will be the head of all  nations of the earth.  The Jews will finally have peace and a greatly expanded territory.  People of all nations will go up to Jerusalem once a year to worship the Lord.  You can read the description and dimensions of the millennial temple and the boundaries in Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48.  God promised the land of Israel to the Jews.  They are the only nation who have a deed to their land from God the Almighty.  

 

Christ will renew the earth to its pristine environment as in the beginning or even better. The lion will lie down with the lamb and a little child can place his hand on the hole of the adder.  There will be no crime or death or sorrow in the Kingdom of Christ.  Satan will be cast into a bottomless pit and remain there for one thousand years. At the end of the thousand years Satan will be released for a short while, to temp the mortal people who have made it into the millennial kingdom. 

 

These mortals in the kingdom will have children and the earth will be populated again after two thirds of the earth perished during the seven year tribulation that followed the rapture of the church. 

 

These mortals that live in the millennial kingdom will be ruled by the immortal saints of God under the rule of Christ the King of King's and Lord of Lords.  Probably the reason Satan will be released for a short season is because the mortals that were born and lived in that period of time will not have been tempted by Satan.  So they will have to make their choice to follow Jesus or Satan just like everyone else through out history. 

 

You can read what happens to them and all the rest of the amazing events that follow, by going to the Bible on line and reading chapters 20 and chapter 21:1 of Revelation where you will read about the NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH

 

Read all the way to the end of chapter 22, it is beautiful beyond understanding.  God has said in the bible that, "Eye has not seen and ear has not heard nor has it entered into the heart of man the things God has laid up for them that love Him".  

 

Do not miss out.  

Accept Jesus today.  

Today is the day of salvation no one knows how long they will live in this life.  

 

We hope you will place us on your favourites list and continue to study and we will grow together in the Word of God.
