The 1000 Year Reign Of Christ

The 1000 Year Reign of Christ

Text: Rev 20:4

4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for £a thousand years.

Introduction:

The Time is near the end of the 7th year of the Tribulation

The Church has been Raptured almost 7 years ago.

In Heaven-Believers have stood before the Judgment seat of Christ

And judged for their rewards for faithful living for Christ

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb has taken place in heaven.

There is Joy-unfeatered JOY of the Church and Old Testament Company

There has been the meetings with Christ and with God the Father

The Rapture taking place on earth.

Anti-Christ has made his entrance—at first as a Charismatic figure with answers (seemingly) to the worlds problems

Anti-chirst make a peace pact with the Jews and Arabs-Palestinians

The 144,000 Jewish young men are sealed with the seal of God on their foreheads—are allowed freedom to preach the gospel world wide.

Rev 7:4, “4And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God—144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel:” (NLT)

Then in Rev. Chapter 7:9 we see the results of the ministry of the 144,000

9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb,And then the angel tells John who these are he says, they

Rev 7:14, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb

AntiChrist allows temple to be re-built

Jews & the World proclaim him Christ—

Then the abomination of desolation –

Daniel 9:2727Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds,£ he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration,£ until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.” NJH-NLT)

Some think that the object will be a pig-Given the Jew views toward The animal, it may be true.

The 2 Witnesses are loosed in Rev. 11:3 (NKJ) 3And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

These 2 men then minister from mid-trib on to 3 days before Jesus and the Church appear to fight the Battle of Armageddom

In Rev 11:5, 6 5And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

8And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also £our Lord was crucified. 9Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations £will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12And £they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

¼ of the World’s pop has been slaughtered and then ½ of the worlds pop will be killed.

The glorious appearing of Jesus Christ will take place, for the purpose of setting up His Kingdom.

- Heaven will open and Christ will appear on a white horse, (Rev 19:11)

- Christ will be followed by the armies of Heaven (Rev 19:14),

- Christ will stand on the Mount of Olives 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives (Zech 14:3-5)
