"Let me speak to you, my people, about
that kingdom era which is coming. Is it not even
that one thousand year 'day' of rest which you read
about in my Word? (Rev. 20:1-6). It is that day when
man shall have rest from all the oppressions of the
enemy, even Satan. For I will cause the enemy to be
bound and he shall not deceive the nations any more
for a thousand years. And shall there not be peace
and righteousness everywhere? And shall not my
people enjoy the fruit of their labors? And shall
there not be an abundance of joy in the
earth?
How, I say, will it be possible for
conditions such as these to be manifest? Is it just
because Satan will be bound? No, it is more than
this. For I will spread a canopy of
righteousness over the earth by means of the
righteous rulers who will be in charge of all
things. For all things shall be governed from that
Body which shall be raised up to me and
glorified by me. For those in that Body shall no
longer be of the earth, neither bound by the things
of the earth. Neither will they be tempted in any
way by the desires and concerns of those who are yet
in the flesh. For they will have completely
overcome all things; and they will have been
conformed to the image of the man Christ Jesus.
They will be ruling and reigning with Him, and they
will carry out His commandments in everything. Even
so will they be able to govern in righteousness all
the affairs of the earth. Since they will not be of
the earth, they will not be influenced by the things
of the earth. But in complete victory will they be
living in the heavenly realms surrounding the earth,
even the realms where my light and glory are
manifest. They will go and come from that central
throne which will be established in the
heavenlies above the earth. They will carry out
their responsibilities on the earth, and they shall
return to receive instruction and counsel. Even so
shall I spread this canopy of righteous judgment and
justice over the earth. For is it not written that
‘your eyes shall see your teachers'?
(Isaiah 30:20). And does not this refer to the time
when the glorified saints will appear from time to
time to those that are on the earth and teach them
of my will for them? And is it not written that they
shall hear a voice saying 'this is the way, walk [ ]
in it"? (Isaiah 30:20-21). Even so shall my
glorified saints be on duty to speak at times to
those who need instruction and guidance, and their
voice shall be heard, and those who hear will know
that the Lord of glory is guiding
them.
And now would you know further that which I
will do in the days that are coming? I will make all
nations come to Jerusalem to give recognition and
honor to the central government which will be
established there. (Zech. 14:16-17). Official
representatives shall come annually to
Jerusalem and receive teaching and guidance for
their lands in the ways of the Lord. Some nations
will be more submissive than other nations. Those
nations which have known the gospel and have lived
in the Christian tradition and understanding
shall be joined together in subjection to the
Jerusalem government. They shall constitute a
confederacy of nations which will be known as the
Kingdom of Israel, for they shall be joined in one
with the regenerated physical seed of Israel which
will then be dwelling in the land of promise.
And these two together: the physical seed of Abraham
who have accepted the Lord and have come under His
rule, shall be joined in confederacy with those
nations of the spiritual seed of Abraham where
the truth has been fully accepted and where the
governments are in full accord with the principles
of righteousness set down by the Jerusalem
government. These are the two sticks which will
be joined together in that day to form one
confederacy of nations. (Ezek. 37:15-19). The one is
the stick of Judah which stands for the physical
seed of Abraham, purged and purified and brought
into the bond of the New Covenant. The other will be
the stick of Ephraim, or the Christian nations which
have received the fullness of the gospel and have
come into the bond of the covenant as the spiritual
heirs of the promise. These two joined together will
constitute the physical environs of the Kingdom
in that day.
Outside the realm of these Kingdom nations
there will be other nations which are not as
spiritually advanced, neither will their peoples
have had sufficient background and
understanding in the ways of the Lord for them
to be fully ready to yield to the Jerusalem
government. Even so shall they be required to give a
token allegiance to that government and present
themselves to the Lord in Jerusalem. The
light of my truth will not penetrate as fully into
these nations as in the nations aligned with the
Jerusalem government. Even so will they be slower to
respond to that which will be known in that day as
my ways are revealed through my chosen
representatives from Jerusalem. For is it not
written that 'out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem'? (Isa.
2:3). Even so does Zion represent that canopy of
righteous rule which shall be spread over the earth
as my glorified saints are given charge of all
things. But from Jerusalem shall my word and my
truth be declared as my chosen servants of that day
go forth to proclaim that which I require for life
and immortality.
For I will make known the requirements that
are necessary for the inhabitants of the earth
to enter into deathless life. Even so shall many
that are born in that day fulfill those requirements
and continue to live without seeing death. Many of
these shall live until the end of the millennium
when they shall be translated into the heavenly
kingdom. Others will continue to live in deathless
life on the earth even beyond the millennium. I say
to you, I am beginning to give my people a
glimpse of my vast plan which covers the ages to
come, for my people have been so limited In their
understanding and have been so woefully ignorant of
that which I purpose to accomplish on this earth In
the ages to come. Therefore I am beginning to give a
larger view of that which is coming, that my people
may wonder at that which I have planned and will
love me because of the greatness and goodness
of my purpose.
And now would you know further of the
conditions which shall exist on the earth? It shall
be even as a mountain that is elevated above
all the other mountains and hills. (Isa. 2:2). So
shall the mountain or kingdom of the Lord be exalted
above all of the other kingdoms or nations, for the
glory of the Lord shall be present, and the
conditions of life and health and prosperity in the
kingdom shall be so much greater, that all nations
shall look to Jerusalem and to the
kingdom to receive understanding in the ways of the
Lord. And many shall say ‘let us go up to the
mountain or kingdom of the Lord and learn His
ways.' (Isa. 2:3). Even so shall they come to seek
understanding and wisdom in all the ways of the
Lord. And ambassadors of the kingdom shall go into
all nations to teach them that which the Lord would
have them know. And there shall be many who will
say, 'let us seek the Lord and let us join ourselves
to the kingdom of the Lord.' As time goes on other
nations shall be joined to the kingdom confederacy
of nations and the borders of the kingdom shall be
ever enlarging to receive more
nations.
But there shall be other nations that shall
want to maintain their independent station, and
shall not become a part of the kingdom confederacy.
Eventually, towards the close of the millennium,
they shall begin to be turned away from the ways of
the Lord more and more. In spite of the glory and
greatness of that which is seen in the kingdom
realm, they will want to assert their own
independency and develop their own ways. Liberal
trends of thinking will become popular, and
many shall begin to study and think of the way
things once were in the days before the millennium.
And they will be deceived into thinking that they
can build a civilization even greater than that in
the kingdom realm. They shall begin to be puffed up
with pride, desiring to make their own way and build
their own society. And they will begin to lust for
things that have largely been done away with during
the increasing righteous rule of the millennial
years. And again they will be in a condition which
will cause them to be ready to be deceived by Satan
and his hosts. Loving not the truth they shall be
turned away to vanity, and once again, at the close
of the millennium, the Lord will allow Satan to go
forth to bring delusion and blindness, because
the hearts of people in these nations will not be
right toward God. (Rev. 20:3). Satan will cause them
to turn more and more to the desires of their own
ways. They will begin to throw off the ‘yoke’ of the
Jerusalem government to which they have had to give
token allegiance, and will rebel at any attempt to
bring them further understanding of the Lord's
ways.
Even so shall there be a gradual cleavage and
division between those nations which are in the
kingdom realm and are in complete subjection to the
Jerusalem government, and those nations which want
to assert their own independency. This division
will grow over a period of time until there is a
complete cleavage, and once again a Satan-inspired
society begins to grow in the earth. The Lord will
not directly intervene to stop this because it
is in His purpose to once again test the inhabitants
of the earth and cause them to see the vanity of
their own ways. Thus as their hearts are turned away
from the Lord, Satan is once again loosed from his
prison to deceive those nations which have
asserted their independency and have desired to
be free to pursue their own ways. (Rev. 20:7-8). And
having been deceived they shall gradually begin to
lay the foundation for another full scale rebellion
against God and against His
anointed.
Think not that these things shall occur in a
short period of time. For I say to you, it
has taken Satan many hundreds of years to bring man
to the state of chaos and rebellion which is being
manifest today, a rebellion so great that I will
have to interfere and bring judgment. This has Satan
been able to do with man in his present state of
corruption and defilement through sin. Now consider,
after the great millennium of peace and
righteousness, when Satan is again loosed for a
little season, the world will have had the
benefit of several hundreds of years of the
blessings of the light and truth in practical
demonstration and application. Think not that Satan
will be able to turn the hearts of people in a short
time. It will again take many hundreds of years
before Satan is again able to launch any kind of
rebellion which will reach the scope where divine
interference will again become a necessity. For I
say to you, there are yet many ages which
will come and go before the final rebellion which
you read about in Rev. 20:8-9. And many hundreds,
yes thousands, will have entered into a state of
deathless life on the earth. Therefore the
influence of righteousness will be great even after
Satan has plied his deceptions for hundreds of
years. And many millenniums will come and go
before he finally is able to deceive to the
extent that entire nations are once again in the web
of his delusions. So consider not that which man has
taught, neither that which makes the Word of God of
no effect. For I will reveal by My Spirit in
this day many mysteries which have been hidden, and
none shall understand except those who are drawn by
me because I perceive that their hearts are ready to
receive further light and
revelation.
In Rev. 20:3, it is written that Satan is
again loosed for a little season. Again think not
that I reckon time according to your
limited concepts. For is it not written that 'one
day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day?’ (11 Pet. 3:8). Therefore
if one day is a thousand years, a ‘little season’ is
surely a period of time extending beyond a day or
two.
And now consider that which I would reveal
concerning those times beyond the one thousand
years of peace. I say to you, the millennium
of peace which is about to break upon the
inhabitants of the earth is the sabbath of rest
after six thousand years of labor. It completes that
cycle of redemption in which a minimum of my
children will have come into the full regeneration
which I have purposed. For is it not written that on
the eighth day all male children were to be
circumcised? (Lev. 12:3). And is not circumcision
that rite which pictures the complete regeneration
of the inner man whereby the reproach of this world
and its flesh is completely severed, and the
life is fully launched into that higher realm
which I have ordained, operating in a glorious body
which is able to enter into even higher realms of
glory and power in me? Therefore consider that it
will take a thousand years for those who are ruling
and reigning with me to so counsel, instruct and
watch over the inhabitants of the earth that a
minimum number of my children will reach the place
where they can be fully and completely liberated
into the higher realms, even as the church which is
my body shall have entered in at the beginning of
the millennium. For is it not written that the
church, the true called-out ones, who shall be fully
and completely called out of the world at the close
of the earth's tribulation, are a kind of
first-fruits of my creatures? (James 1:18). And if
the church which is my body is a first-fruits of a
greater harvest, then it will take a thousand years
before that harvest is ready to be reaped and fully
regenerated and translated into the heavenly realms.
This will take place at the beginning of the eighth
day, following the one thousand year sabbath of
peace and
righteousness.
And then shall follow another day as my plan
continues to unfold upon the earth. There shall be
much that will take place during the eighth day and
following which will lead the inhabitants of the
earth into a fuller understanding of all that I have
purposed. There shall also be a further development
in the activities of Satan to bring about his final
attempt to overthrow that which is of my
righteous will and design. But he shall not
succeed. For that which I will establish in the
earth in a kingdom of truth and righteousness shall
ever increase in power and dominion. Those nations
which Satan shall eventually bring under his control
shall not be able to deter that which I will be
accomplishing in the kingdom confederacy of
nations. But those nations which have spurned my
perfect will for them shall eventually come into an
understanding of the nature of certain mysteries in
the physical makeup of things, and they will feel
confident of their ability to completely destroy
that which is within the kingdom conclave. They will
set about to develop a super-weapon that will
completely destroy what they consider the fanaticism
of those who are aligned with the Jerusalem
government. Having perfected their plan to
eliminate all opposition to their scheme of
world domination, they shall strike at the very
stronghold of kingdom rule, even Jerusalem and its
environs. They shall encompass that which is called
in the book of Revelation the 'camp of the saints.'
(Rev. 20:9). This they will do by means of
electronic equipment designed to focus destructive
implements of a super-secret nature on a central
target. Having completed their plans they shall
begin to set in motion their diabolical plot.
But before they are able to fully accomplish that
which they purpose, the Lord of Glory shall descend
with fiery destruction from on high. The entire
earth's atmosphere shall be set aflame and the earth
will receive a baptism of fire as the very elements
melt with fervent heat. (II Pet. 3:12). The
inhabitants of the Kingdom realm shall be changed
instantly as their bodies put on the glory of the
heavenly. Those who are not ready to be changed
shall be destroyed as far as the physical is
concerned. All the inhabitants of the nations which
had conceived the rebellion shall be instantly
consumed.
The result of the earth's baptism of fire
will be a complete new heavens (atmosphere) and
new earth. The sea shall be no more. (Rev. 21:1). As
the elements are dissolved and changed, the earth
will be launched into a new realm in the skies in
its onward progress in the purpose which I have
ordained. The earth shall then be ready for a
further manifestation of life, but of a different
nature than that which exists on
it.
Now when, do you ask, shall all of these
things be? Again I say, think not that they shall
occur in a short period of time. For it shall take
another cycle of time after the completion of the
present week of manifestation which is consummated
by the millennial sabbath. After that next cycle and
its concluding sabbath shall all of these things be,
"Therefore behold the glory of your God and
His unfolding purpose and prepare your heart
to receive of His goodness in this
hour.”
