At the second coming, on the Day of יהוה , the Son of Man is going to conquer the nations of the world and is predicted to establish a thousand year rule. This thousand year period is commonly referred to as “the Millennial Reign” and will be the focus of this article.
TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE
During “the Millennial Reign” there will be two groups of people:
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 Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6 KJV)
GROUP 1. Believers, that died in their faith and are in the first Resurrection which includes “the Remnant” that will not taste death.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, יהוה of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16 KJVm)
GROUP 2. Survivors (non-believers) from the nations that will attack Jerusalem described in Zechariah 14:3.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treaded the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Elohim. (Revelation 19:15 KJVm)
The second group are those that are going to be “ruled with a rod of iron” during “the Millennium.”
The scenario goes as follows:
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of Elohim upon the earth. (Revelation 16:1 KJVm)
1. VIALS OF WRATH are poured out
2. THE SECOND COMING OF THE SON OF MAN
Then shall יהוה go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (Zechariah 14:3 KJVm)
The Son of Man returns to fight the nations that surround Jerusalem.
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (Matthew 16:28 KJV)
With Him, He brings The New Jerusalem – the Kingdom of Elohim.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Elohim out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Elohim himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim. (Revelation 21:2-3 KJVm)
3. NEW JERUSALEM DESCENDS
INSIDE
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14 KJV)
Inside the New Jerusalem will be the resurrected believers and “the Remnant of Israel.”
OUTSIDE
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (Revelation 22:14 NIV)
However, outside the The New Jerusalem’s wall will be those (non-believing) survivors of the nations…
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of Elohim upon the earth. (Revelation 16:1 KJVm)
…outside, where the vials of wrath had been poured..
So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:49-50 NASB)
…outside, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; {Revelation 20:2 KJV)
4. SATAN IS BOUND unable to deceive the (non-believing) survivors.
This is the first day of the Millennial Reign
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. (Revelation 20:7-8 NASB)
5. When the 1000 years are complete, Satan is released to deceive the (non believing) survivors and their descendants…
And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Elohim himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim. (Revelation 21:2-3 KJVm)
…and will influence these (non-believers) to surround and attack “the beloved city”; the New Jerusalem where they will be defeated.
This concludes”the Millennial Reign.”
