Okay, if you could stand, I'm sorry. Turn to Revelation chapter 20. I am so sorry. Oh, goodness. There you go. Oh, goodness. You know, I always feel very burdened that when we read the Word of God, we should stand. And so, let's look here in Revelation chapter 20. Look at verse 1. Get myself together here. Revelation chapter 20, verse 1. And the Bible says here, An angel come down from heaven having a key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hands and he lay hold of that dragon, the old serpent. which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should not deceive the nations no more, till a thousand years shall be fulfilled. And after that he must be loose a little season. And I saw thrones, and they that 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 his forehead, or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you Lord for this passage of Scripture. And thank you, Lord, that we're looking tonight at the millennium reign of Christ. I pray, Lord, that give us something we can understand, also something we can take home tonight. And I pray, Lord, if there's someone, or even here in the church or on social media, that is following us, that never received Jesus as Savior, may today they open their hearts and minds to you and call upon you for salvation. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. You may be seated. So the title of the message tonight, I mean actually the theme that we're following is winners. And we've been looking at the end times. We stopped for a few weeks because of our month of October which was a missions month. And then we went back, going back to these series. I think these series are too good to miss it out. We need to just keep going. So tonight in the series Winners, the title is The King is Reigning on Earth. So we see here in this passage of Scripture, which is a very good passage of Scripture. So let me tell you this. give you a little input, what's going to happen in God's calendar? What's the next step in God's calendar? As we see, actually as we look in the condition of our world, don't be surprised to see what we see today. The world is marching towards their end. What is their end? The day of the Lord. The day when time would be no more. It will come a day that history will be gone. Time will be no more. I know people are very intrigued about the future. Many people are. What's going to happen? Well, God, in His Word, tells exactly what's going to happen, what's going to happen in the future. So, what's next in God's calendar? Well, what's next is the rapture of the Church. The next step in God's calendar is Jesus Christ will come again, will come and take His bride, the Church, home. And that's the next step in God's calendar. They said, when is that going to happen? I don't know. It's not in the Bible. There's no dates. People try to date this thing. It's not there. It's not for us to figure it out. It's for us to live in obedience to the Lord and He honored in serving Him until He just comes and takes this bride home. Either dead or alive, the bride of Christ will go to be with the Lord. And let me tell you this for the record. Once the bride of Christ gets together with the groom, there's no more separation. We are separated from Him for now, but once the bride gets with the groom, no more separation. We will be together with our Savior for all eternity. Okay? Just one for the record. So, what happened after that? Well, after the rapture of the church, there will be an Antichrist that will come on the scene. This Antichrist would have a peace treaty with Israel, with the land of Israel. He would make a peace treaty. When that peace treaty comes into place, when he signs that peace treaty, it will start a seven-year tribulation upon earth. The world will be in such chaos that this man will come and offer peace to the world. And let me tell you, he will provide that peace. For three and a half years, there will be peace on earth. And people even believe that He is the Christ. He is the One. And let me tell you, three-and-a-half years later, in that tribulation time, in that seven years, the wrath of God will be upon the earth. And this man, the Antichrist, will show himself. There will be a time that you don't want to be here. We won't be here. But there'll be that time. But right here we're looking at a thousand years. The Bible says a thousand-year period. Now, we want to look at this passage tonight about this. So, is Jesus going to rule, is the question, and reign for 1,000 years on earth? Well, let me put it this way so we can get to that question. When the end of the tribulation years, that seven years, is three and a half years of peace, three and a half years of the wrath of God upon earth, at the same time, in heaven, There will be family business going on after the rapture of the church. There would be the Bema Seat of Christ. And after the Bema Seat of Christ, it would be the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. That would be happening at the same time. Tribulation on earth, the Bema Seat of Christ, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And when that is done, Jesus is coming. And when Jesus is coming, the battle of Armageddon. And after that battle, Satan loses that battle. He will be put in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years. Now let me tell you this. This is not allegory. This is literally a 1,000 year period. Jesus is coming to earth. to rule and reign from the throne of David as a promise that God promised to Abraham, to David, that he will sit on his throne for a thousand years and he's coming to fulfill that promise. Okay? So, even though some people in some denominations say that this is an allegory passage, the truth is, it is not. When he talks here about a thousand years, it's literally a thousand years. The Bible speaks of a literal thousand-year reign of the Lord Jesus Christ on planet Earth. Jesus is going to rule and reign from Jerusalem, and He is going to sit, like I said, in the throne of David. Revelation chapter 20 mentions a thousand-year period. uh of time six times if in verse two in verse to verse seven this period of time has come to be known as the millennium reign of christ it is compound as a compound word from the latin which means a thousand years literally the millennium is that thousand year period of time when the lord jesus like himself will rule and reign from Jerusalem and on planet Earth. So it will usher a time of peace, prosperity, and righteousness such as the world has not witnessed since before men sinned in the Garden of Eden. It will be a great time because the perfect king will rule and reign on planet Earth. There are many who do not believe in a literal thousand-year reign. They believe that it is just a symbolic language. But let me tell you, you need to read the Bible for what the Bible says. And stop allegorizing everything. It is literally a thousand-year period of Jesus Christ on earth. He will come. He will come to rule and reign as He promised. And people say, well, you know, look at the world's keeping going on. I mean, Jesus didn't come yet. And let me tell you this. People are doing what they wanted to do, living they wanted to live. And the Bible says, in the fullness of time, Jesus came. And he was born in a manger as a baby. He came as a servant. He came to die for the sins of mankind. Well, today people mock and say all kinds of despicable things about Jesus. But let me tell you, that same Jesus will come again as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And let me tell you, when He comes again, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. that Jesus Christ is Lord for the glory of God. And let me tell you, we see this weak Jesus, some people even see him as weak and insignificant, but let me tell you, when he comes as the King and the Lord of Lords, it would be different. So what we see here, we see the rapture, we see the tribulation period, the judgment seat of Christ, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the second coming of Christ. Now we see here the millennium reign of Christ. Let me give you this a little bit before I get to that. Now with that information in our minds, let's look in a few specific areas of the millennium period that will help us understand a little better about this period. So my friend, I want you to know that this is one thing you do not want to miss for the world this tonight. You want to be sure that you are a child of God because if you want to be saved, let me tell you this, that's what you want to be sure. I said that this morning, I'll say it again. Don't waste your time on this certain thing. You have time to receive Jesus as your Savior. Don't play with eternity. Get saved. Give your life to God. But let's look at this millennium reign of Christ today for several points. Number one, Jesus in the millennium. Let's look at Jesus in the millennium. Look at verse four. for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, in which had now worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon his foreheads, or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. So he's talking about the rapture during the tribulation times here. And look where it says in verse 6, Blessed and holy is he that had part in the first resurrection, and such the second death had no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Specifically, the Bible keeps saying, mention these words a thousand years over and over again. So folks, the Bible is clear that about this thousand year reign of Jesus on earth, it is a reality that will come to pass in the near future. Let me tell you this folks. We Christians, like I said this morning, we are to live as winners, not losers. We have a Christ, we have a Lord, we have a Savior that is a winner. He won the victory at Calvary's Cross. He won the victory. He defeated Satan. He won the victory for us. We can receive Jesus as Savior. We can live in great victory. But let me tell you today, listen, let me tell you today, is that we look at this future, we look at the future and for some people they say, oh our future don't look too good. It looks dark and gray and we don't know how it's going to be. Let me tell you this, for the Christian, it don't matter if it's a snow storm, it don't matter if it's rain, it don't matter what it is. Let me tell you, we have a bright future ahead of us. We have a bright future because now we can live in victory present time. We can live in victory because we have the power of the Holy Spirit in us to help us to conquer any sin, any temptation, anything we have in our lives. And not only that, but also we have the blessing of our future. We have everything to look forward to what? To Jesus coming again. Because when He comes, we're going home to be with the Lord. We're going to be with Him forever. Then we will come again with Jesus this year to rule and reign with Him a thousand years. Then we're going to live in a new heaven and a new earth with God for all eternity. Let me tell you what God says in here. He doesn't promise this promise to those who reject Him, to those who don't want nothing to do with Him. His promise is for His children, for His people. You see that? It doesn't say that all people are going to heaven. It doesn't say that everyone is going to the new heaven and the new earth. It's not what God says. Actually, people, one of you, Jesus has this loving, which He is. He loves everyone. And one of you, this God that doesn't judge anyone. Let me tell you, people are lying to themselves. They're justifying their sin and lying to themselves saying that God doesn't judge anyone. Let me tell you, like I said this morning, He is the judge of the earth and He will judge and continue to judge. I don't care what people say, what opinion they have, the Word of God will not change. Let me tell you, having an overpass the way God says, but His Word will stand forever. God will not change his word because of the opinions of men or because society changes. Let me tell you, as the world went around, society changed so many times. God's word never did. It will never will. It doesn't matter which way we go in society, God's word stands forever. So we see here, we see Jesus in the millennium. Number one, or letter A, King Jesus will be reigning in the millennium. He is not going to come as a servant. He's not going to come to serve anyone. He's going to come to rule and to reign on planet earth for 1,000 years. After that great battle of Armageddon, He's going to come and when He establishes His kingdom, He's going to come and rule and reign. At long at last the Lord Jesus Christ will sit on the throne of David. Here's the passage, Isaiah chapter 9, verse 6 and 7. He will rule the world in power, righteousness, and glory. His reign will be ushered at a time of peace and prosperity like nothing the world ever experienced before. Now, letter B. Here's another one for you. King Jesus will be ruling. The Bible tells us that Jesus will rule the world with a rod of iron. Revelation chapter 19, verse 15. Like a shepherd, Jesus will guide the entire population of the world. However, those who refuse to bow to his authority will be dealt swift and harshly. Rebellion will not be tolerated in that day. Listen, he will be a righteous king, a perfect king, a powerful king, and rebellious against him will not be tolerated that day. Wow! Let us see. King Jesus will be receiving. In the day in which we live, the Lord Jesus is viewed as some kind of comical character by the world. He's like a poor fool who got himself killed on a cross. However, in the millennium reign, he will receive the glory he has always deserved. All people from every nation will come and bow at his feet and worship the king of glory. Instead of cursing his name, like I said, men will worship him and shout his praises. Look what it says in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 5. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed in all flesh. Look what God says. God didn't say all people. God says, "...and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord had spoken it." See, this verse tells us that man will finally be able to look upon the glory of the Lord in that day. It will be a time of God's glory and then we will see the king ruling and reign as he promised. And let me tell you this. God's promise always comes to pass. is not one promise that God did not promise that will not come to pass. Listen, the world right now is fulfilling prophecy. That's what the world is doing. The world is marching towards that great day when God will take the church out of the earth and it will go right to that great tribulation time. I don't believe we're very far from it. I believe a lot of preachers say the same thing. I don't believe we're very far from that day. You know what I say to that? So come Lord Jesus. Listen, this is exciting times. I said this morning, this is exciting times. This will not be a time for fear. This is a time for rejoicing. Lord, are you coming? Lord, these people, look at what they are having. Are you coming? And looking forward, look up, look up, because He can come at any given moment. So we can see Jesus in a millennium. What will He be doing? He will rule and reign from Jerusalem for a thousand year period and it will be a perfect kingdom. Now, Satan in the millennium, number two. What will this great enemy be doing during the millennium reign of Christ on planet Earth? Some people view Satan as the cartoon with the little horns and a tail. This little guy that comes on the left shoulder. He's always on the left shoulder. I think it is. And he goes... gives you all this bad stuff. And sometimes you go... and you listen. And the little angel. Have you ever seen those cartoons? Or is it just me? But some people view Satan as this insignificant little cartoon. Let me tell you. Satan is more powerful than me and you combined. Or any human being on the face of the earth. Satan is a powerful being. And let me tell you, you know what he does? He comes to kill and to destroy. He energizes people. He works through people. He works through people and he goes and kills and destroys. I'm not saying that, but ultimately people are responsible for their own actions. But sometimes you wonder where they got the ideas from. The whispers of the devil and his demons that keep coming and whispering on people's ears. He does control governments and head officials and all those things. Satan is a real being. But what will you do during the Millennium Reign? Will he be busy as usual? Or business as usual for him? Or there will be a ramification for the way he's been treating the saints of God? And for blinding the eyes of those who are lost? There's an old saying that goes like this. Every dog have his day. Have you heard that? And they do all kinds of wicked things and we sit back and say, well, you will have your day. And let me tell you, there is a day for this guy. There is a day that he's gonna get it. And let me tell you, letter A there, Satan will be bound. Look at verse 1 to verse 3. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him, what? A thousand years. Revelation chapter 20 verse 2. Look at verse 3, it says, And cast him in the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, and he should not deceive the nations no more. Tell a thousand years lucas says and shall not deceive the nations no more. What is he doing right now? Deceiving the nations Why is this wars and rumors of wars? Why is countries against why is these things who's behind this stuff? satan satan For a thousand years, the enemy of God. Look at the names that God calls him. Look at Revelation chapter 2, it says, the old dragon. They call him a dragon, call him a serpent, call him the devil, call him Satan. These are the names that God calls this being. So for a thousand years the enemy of God will not be able to hinder God's work, tempt God's people, nor will be able to work in the lives of the lost. He will be chained and bound for the duration of a thousand years. So as Jesus ruled and reigned from Jerusalem and sat on the throne of David for a thousand years, Satan will be in the bottomless pit for a thousand years, chained up. He spends his time doing, let me put my head back a little bit here. He will be chained and bound for the duration of a thousand years. Right now Satan is the god, the liturgy of this world. He's like renting the world so to speak. And he's doing all kinds of stuff in this world. He spends his time doing everything in his power to handle God's business, trip up God's saints and claim souls for hell. He blinds the eyes of people so people don't see the truth of God. They don't accept the gospel and they'll die and find themselves in a place called hell. Now, we look at the titles here, but he's a wicked and evil enemy. He's been around since the beginning of time. Continue to deceive people. Let it be. Satan will be judged. We look at verse 7 up to verse 10. And when the thousand years are expired at the end of the millennium reign, look what it says, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go and deceive the nations which are in the fourth quarters of the earth. Gog and Magog together them together to battle, the number of whom as in the sand of the sea, and they went up on the bread of the earth and come past the camp of the saints about and the beloved city and fire came down from God and out of heaven and devoured them and the devil that deceived them was cast in the lake of fire and brimstone with a beast and the false prophet the unholy trinity shall be tormented day and night forever and ever you say where all these people came from well at the end of um during the tribulation time, at the end of tribulation time, and when the millennium reign of Christ, there are those who are alive going to that millennium reign, the people that will be alive, the human beings that will be alive going to that millennium reign. Let me tell you, they will continue to reproduce, I mean like, babies will be grown, families will be developed, all that, in a thousand year period. And let me tell you, and during that time, there will be so many people that will be in that millennium reign of Christ. And when Satan was let loose, He will come and deceive many people. You say, how could that happen? They're living in a perfect government with a perfect king. How that happen? Here's what happens. People will learn to conform to the rule. But in their heart, they will never accept Jesus as their Savior. So that in the millennium reign, people will grow up and they will conform to the rule. But they will never accept Jesus as Savior. And when Satan comes about, Satan will deceive their very people and they will form a great army and go against God. They want to dethrone God. But it won't happen. Satan will try for the last time to dethrone God. You say, listen, how can that happen? Well, like I said, it happens because the heart of people is desperately... The definition of the word heart is... I'm sorry. It is amazing this electronics, isn't it? People on social media go, what happened there? You don't want to know. But anyway, people say, how could that... Listen, it goes... Why? We say, how could... When God put Satan in the bottomless pit, Why did God then just get rid of him? Here's the thing. Why did the Lord let him loose after the thousand year period? Is the catch right here. You know why? God wants to show humanity that even in the most perfect environment that we can live in, the heart of man is desperately wicked. And in the most perfect environment, people can still rebel against God. That's what happens here. And Satan comes out and is the proof right there. He goes and deceives humanity and they will believe a lie and go against God. They say, we can take care of King Jesus and they throne him. Oh no, it won't happen that way. And Satan will come up. You see, actually I believe this is one of the primary reasons in the end of the millennium to let Satan lose right here. Because it will prove that man is desperately wicked. You see, in various ways God has tried to reach man. And each time man has failed to respond with love towards God. Let me tell you this. that the heart of man, that actually the Bible talks about that, is desperately wicked. For an example, number one, I don't know if you have this in your outline, the age of innocence, Genesis chapter 3, ended with a willful disobedience. Adam and Eve live in a perfect environment. God was with them. He walked with the Lord. And in that perfect environment, they rebelled against God. Self-will. When people talk about Calvinism, people have to lie, it's self-will. They knew not to do wrong and they did wrong. So the age of innocence was broken because men broke it. Number two, the age of conscience. Genesis chapter 5 to chapter 6 ended with universal corruption. Number three, the age of human government. Genesis 11 ended with the devil, devil worship at the Tower of Babel. The age of promise, Genesis chapter 12, ended with the people of God in bondage in Egypt. The age of law, Exodus chapter 2 to Matthew 27, ended with humanity killing the creator at the cross, the crucified Jesus. The age of the church, Acts chapter 1 and up, will end with worldwide apostasy. The age of tribulation, Revelation chapter 11, will end with the battle of Armageddon. The age of the millennium, Revelation chapter 20, will end with an attempt to overthrow God himself. You see, the heart of man is desperately wicked. The point is that the human heart is terribly wicked and prone to evil. You can see this in Romans chapter 3 verse 10 and 11. The only hope for man is to come for Jesus for salvation. He changes the heart of man. Anything less will result in damnation and hell. And let me tell you, We see the millennium reign, Jesus in the millennium. We see Satan or the devil in the millennium. Number three, we see the saints in the millennium. From verse four and verse six of our text, it amazes me of what people say about heaven and what they be doing in heaven. It's obvious that when people speak to you, it can come with all kinds of things. But let me tell you, we need to rely in Scripture what Scripture says about heaven and this place that is a wonderful place to be. Some people just think that we will become angels and forever we'll be playing the harp in the clouds. I don't know where people got that image or that picture from. But that's what people have in their mentality. What are we going to do in heaven? What will redeem people of God do during the millennium? What we will do in heaven? What Adam and Eve were doing in the age of innocence? They were working. They were taking care of the garden of Eden, right? God gave them work. I don't think God really looks for lazy people. God wants people to be productive. And let me tell you, it is a blessing. Not taking out of our lesson tonight, but I'm telling you this. God looks at you and me. If you're productive, if you're not lazy, if you're just hard-working and you do your things, you be productive with the time God gives you. He looks at you and you look at life like, that's the way we should be lived. Let me tell you. Sometimes it's good to be a couch potato for a day, but don't be a couch potato every day. Alright? Okay. These people are doing all kinds of things in the movie. What about you doing something? Okay. So the saints in the millennium. Letter A. We will be reigning with Jesus. Look at verse four. Look what it says. John speaking, he said, Look what it says. With Christ, what? 1,000 years. So the Church, the Bride of Christ, will reign with Jesus in His Millennial Kingdom. Let me tell you, when the Rapture occurs, right now we're separated from our Savior. Those of us who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're separated from our Savior. But that time, when the Rapture of the Church occurs, let me tell you, there's no more separation. Wherever the Lord goes, the Bride goes with Him. Isn't that wonderful? Just to think about it. To be with our Savior for all eternity. We will share in His glory and in His reign. It's scripture here, 2 Timothy 2, verse 12, 1 Peter 5, verse 1. The children of God may be mocked and ridiculed down here right now, but it's coming a day when we will return with Jesus in power and glory to this world, and we will rule and reign with Him on planet Earth. And let me tell you, today we look at the world, look at the church, at Jesus and His Word and they mock and laugh and scorn the people of God. They even use Jesus in curse words. But let me tell you, there will be a day when he will rule and reign for a thousand years from the throne of David. Not just there, after that thousand year period is done, guess what? There's a new heaven and a new earth for God's people. And there'll be the great white throne judgment waiting for all of those who rejected God. Time will be no more. History will be gone. Yes, the titles that the patriots won, it will disappear for all eternity. Nobody will remember no more. Human history will be gone. The only history that will be standing, it will be God's history. We think in all these wrecks, all these, let me tell you, it will go away. The children of God, like I said, will be ruling and reign. And that day we will be different than we are now. In fact, we will have already been through the judgment seat of Christ, like I said, and through the marriage supper of the Lamb. We will have been with Jesus when He took control of the world, away from the devil and his armies. We will have shared it with all, and we will share with Him His glory here on earth. We will reign with Him and we will be in glorified bodies. What is that? A body that doesn't have any more pains, no sickness, no more tired. We just have the body just like the resurrected Jesus. Wow! I tell you what, you look at Christianity, you look at the promises of God, ain't God good? God is good. You say, well, this is too good to be true. Listen folks, it is good and it is true. It's not too good to be true. It is good and it is true. And it will come to pass. The people are living in fear. What's going to happen to our world? What's going to happen to our country? What's going to happen to this? Listen, they have an earthly mind. We Christians, we have a heavenly mind. We look beyond this world and we say, I'm going home. to be with my Savior. It will be free from sin, free from death, free from diseases. We will be free, we'll be perfect that day. So let it be, you see, the tribulation saints will be received. So in the last part of this verse makes it clear that there will be a number of people that will come to the end of tribulation period, like I said, and a period with their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. These people refused the mark of the beast and they lived until the end. But let me tell you, That would be a, if people understand, it would be the tribulation time, it would be a very hard time on planet Earth. Imagine, to buy and to sell, you need a mark of a beast. Where's that mark? 666. On your forehead, on your hands, or on your wrist. That would be a chaotic time. Are we heading that way? Yes, we are. We are heading that way. This picture is for us in Matthew 25, 31 to 46, as the judgment of the nations. Jesus will honor the faith of those who trust in Him and will receive them into His kingdom. And that Jesus, whether those people that are going through the tribulation there, and we see this, the tribulation saints there. Now, letter four, we see, number four, we see the lost in the millennium. the loss in the millennium. There will be sinners during the millennium reign. Yes, there will. There will be none who enter the millennium, but there will be millions born during that thousand-year period. You see, all the Jews and Gentiles will enter the millennium, but out of the reproduction that will happen during that millennium, there will be many people born, and those people are the ones, many of them, will be lost. Like I said in the beginning, they will conform to the rule, but they're hard to be far from God. Let me tell you. There's a picture in many families. There's a mom and a dad that love their children and have their ways of raising their children, teach them everything that is good to that child or their children at home. And it would be, let's say, a family of five. And the children grow up, and after a time, one goes this way and the other one stays here. What happened to that one that went astray? Why the other four didn't go? The other four listened to mom and dad and they grew up to be good productive citizens. The other one went the other way. What happened? For a time when they live in the home, he conformed to the rule. But his heart was wicked. He didn't want to listen. When he didn't want to listen, guess what? There's an emptiness and a void there that somebody will come along and fulfill. It will fill that void and that kid is gone. That happens. It happens in many families. And mom and dad say, what I did wrong. Did I did anything? Why that kid? And mom and dad are blaming themselves. And now mom and dad to blame. They're the ones made the wrong choice. They're the ones that just conformed and never received the teaching of that mom and that dad. They never received it. Conformed to it and say, one day I will just go my way. And they do it. It happens all the time in all kinds of families. They conform to the rule, but their hearts are far from that being taught. Listen, there will be a perfect government. There will be a perfect king. There will be a perfect environment. And let me tell you, people will conform to the rule until Satan comes. And they will see the opportunity to rebel. See the lost relationship to the Savior. In that day, even the lost man will know Jesus. You will know Him as the King, but you will not know Him as Savior. unless he repents of a sin and receives Jesus by faith. Salvation, let me tell you something, will never change. It's always the same way. Salvation from the beginning of time until the last one, time be no more, will be the same way. A person must trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as Savior. Even in the Millennium reign of Christ. Not just accept Him as the King and as the Great King. You have to, the person have to believe in Him by faith that He is the Savior. Otherwise, that person will die on his sins, on his or her sins. Let me tell you, even in the millennium reign, a person needs Christ for salvation. So let me give you some points right here. I think you have that in a printout there, because it was so much. I think you have that. I gave it to you that way. Number one, they will worship. In the millennium reign, every person on the face of the earth will bow and worship King Jesus. The Bible says every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. Everyone will lift their voice in praise and sing to Him who sits upon the throne of glory. What a blessed day that will be. However, imagine having to praise Him and not loving Him. Imagine that. Imagine people praising Him and singing to Him, praising His name, but their hearts are far from Him. Listen, it happens in churches. How many people praise God in churches and are not even saved? You say, how could that be? It happened in churches today. I saw a man one time, he's been in church for 20 years. And 20 years later, he comes forward and said, today I realize, after all these years at church, listen to the preaching of God's Word, that I am lost. Can you imagine that? I said, brother, you've been singing. I said, I'm not your brother. I'm lost. I said, have you been singing the songs of Zion? Yes, I did. But I'm lost. You see, today happens in many churches, many people, they walk in church, they feel comfortable, they sing, they praise God. But let me tell you, they don't belong to God. They never accept Jesus as their Savior. They never admit to God that they're sinners. And it'll be the same thing in the Millennium Reign. There'll be people by the thousands who will worship, who will praise God, but will die in their sins. Number two, they will walk the right way. Now, lost people walk as they please. Today, right? Most people walk as they please, but in the Millennium Reign, they won't. They will go worship. They will go and praise. They will serve the king. It's like, wow! They will. Because Jesus will rule with a good, hard leader. And that's when they will just go by the rule. They conform to that rule. They will conform. Until they can rebel. Again, there will be an outward obedience, but an inward rebellious. They will compromise outwardly and live by the rule, but their hearts will be full of rebellious towards God and towards Jesus. People will need salvation then, but let me tell you this, that's what they will do. That's why Satan will deceive so many people. And let me tell you this, let it be received, the lost in relationship to Satan. Am I in the right place right here? Yes. Okay. You got a lot of B? The lost relationship to Satan. Just like they do today, they will continue to do the millennium reign rite of Christ. Their blinded hearts will continue rebelliously with a tendency to want to rebel against God. Can you imagine in the millennium reign of Christ, God himself will be ruling in that throne from Jerusalem. And let me tell you, he will sit in the throne of David and he will rule and reign throughout this world. and people will still rebel against him. Number one, they will be deceived. Folks, he will play the same old trick in the millennium reign, after the millennium reign when he comes loose, that he's doing today. He will deceive the hearts of many. He will reveal exactly what resides in the heart of man. Wickedness. Number five, the society in the millennium. The society in the millennium. How will society live during the millennium reign of Christ? How society would look during the millennium reign of Christ? How? Number one, this is a new outline there. It will be a time of peace. There will be no more wars and the result of such unification. All nations will experience economic prosperity. There will be a time of personal and national peace. Let me tell you, I gave you there and you outlined. You have so many verses there for you to see. We will take until tomorrow to go through all these verses. But there are so many verses there. You can see for yourself in your own Bible and in your own time you can read it. Number two, there will be a time of joy. The fullness of joy will be a trademark of God's kingdom on earth. You can see all the verses that I give you there. Number three, there will be a time of holiness, separation unto God. This tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria tria A kingdom will be a holy kingdom. His holiness will be manifest to the king and his subjects. The land will be holy. The people will be holy. The city is holy. The entire world will be holy unto God. And those who are not saved there will conform to the rule. Can you imagine? This is what's going to happen in the Millennium reign of Christ. Number four, it will be a time of glory. This kingdom will be a glorious kingdom with the glory of God in full display. See this in Isaiah chapter 4 verse 2, chapter 35 verse 2, chapter 40 verse 5, chapter 60 verse 1 to 9. There's all these verses there that you can look at it. Number five, it will be a time of comfort. Jesus will fully minister to every need so that it will be the fullness of comfort. Let me tell you what a time will be when we can go to the king and he will understand your needs and my needs. Wow what a time. Number six there'll be a time of justice or perfect justice. There will be a ministry to every individual in the entire world. Number seven, there will be a time of full knowledge. All the subjects of the King will possess fullness of knowledge. No doubt, there will be an increase in the teaching of ministry there. There will be a wonderful time because we know and we understand the fullness of God. Number eight, there will be a time of instruction. Perfect knowledge will come from above, from instruction from the King. What a wonderful time. Number nine, it will be a time where the curse of sin will be removed. God placed a curse upon the earth during the millennium reign. This curse will be removed resulting in an increase in the productivity of the earth and it will cause animals to lose their venom towards each other. There will be no more killing. Animals will walk side by side. What a time. You see this in Isaiah chapter 11, verse 6 to 9. And let me tell you, some denominations misunderstand these passages. Number 10, it will be a time where sickness will be removed. The king will be the healer, so that sickness and death will vanish, except as punishments for extreme sin. It will be a time of healing, number 11. All deformity will be healed by the King. It will be a time of protection. You see, I give you all these verses, right, that you can look them up. Number 12 will be a time of no more oppression. We live today in a world with so much oppression by governments and by people in this world. That time will be gone. You know why? Because King Jesus is reigning. There will be a time of no more immaturity. It seems that there will be no mental retardation or dwarf bodies or longevity. It will be a perfect time. Number 12 will be a time of reproduction by the living people that live in that time. There will be a wonderful time. This is the millennium reign of Christ upon earth. Number 13, it will be a time of labor. If you think we're going to sit around and be lazy, no. God will make sure there will be no laziness, no welfare systems, a perfect economy system. All needy people, all needs will be provided. And all of us will work and serve the King with joy. Number 14, it will be a time of economic prosperity. a time, a perfect labor situation will produce economic abundance so that there will be no want on this planet. Let me tell you, what a king, what a perfect reign. Number 15, there will be a time of increase of light. There will be a time in the solar and the lunar light accounting for the increase of productivity in the world. Number 16, there will be a time of unified language. All language barriers will be removed. That's Zephaniah right there, chapter 3, verse 9. There will be a time of unified worship. The entire world will worship Jesus. give you all these verses for you to see there. There will be a time of the manifest presence of God with man. God will be presented upon and recognized by man. Fellowship with God will be experienced on this earth. I tell you that what a place that will be. Number 19, it will be a time of the fullness of the Spirit All who are subject to the king would experience divine enablement at our presence. Number 20, it will be a time of the eternal nature of the millennium state. Let me tell you this, the millennium reign of Christ, it will be a wonderful time for God's people. And let me tell you, what a shame for those who live in that time that will conform to the rule. and reject Jesus as their Savior. And when Satan comes about at the end of the millennium, you will be able to deceive multitudes of people. And the question is, how could people do that in a perfect environment, in a perfect government, with a perfect king? How can people do that? Here's the question. How can people sit in Bible-believing churches with Bibles in their laps, Listen to the preaching of God's Word, singing the songs of Zion, and never receive Jesus as their Savior. How can they do that? They conform to the rule, and they tell themselves they're saved, but in the end they're not. It's gotta be a time, listen to me well, it's gotta be a time when a person individually, okay, when that person individually recognizes that person is a sinner and that person is lost. And when that person recognize I'm a sinner, I'm lost, when that person recognize those two things, the next thing is I need a savior. If I'm lost, I need somebody to save me. When that person recognizes that, looks up to Jesus and says, Jesus, I want you to be my Savior. Admit that you are a sinner. Admit that you break God's law. Repent is the key. A person must repent of his sin. If a person never repents of his sin, how can that person be saved? It's got to be a time of repentance and then call upon Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Let me tell you, it happens in many churches. We conform to the church, we conform to the rule, and we forgot the big picture, God. And that's what will happen in the millennium reign. Many people will live in that prosperous time, in that thousand-year period. Many people will see Jesus. Many people will praise His name, will sing the songs of Zion. And let me tell you, they will never get saved because they just conform to the rule. Their hearts are far from God. And today is the same thing. Today, people sit in churches. They praise with their mouth, but their heart is not in. And it's sad that we, some sitting in Bible-believing churches, and miss the opportunity of salvation. May not happen to any of us here. May not happen to you out there that are following us on social media. But let me tell you, what happened after the millennium reign of Christ? Oh, Satan will lose the battle. He will get loose, and he will lose the battle. He cannot dethrone God. Time, as we know, will end. There will be a new heaven and a new earth for God's people for all eternity. You say, what about the other ones that reject God? There will be what we call the White Throne Judgment. And God will judge every single person from the beginning of time until time was no more that rejected Him. They will know why they're going to hell. I conclude with this. As you can see, the millennium will be a special time on earth. Let me put it this way. Our world is not getting any better. Are you looking for Jesus? You know, there's a crown given to those who looked for Jesus coming. I tell you what. I often look up. I don't know about you. Jesus is there today. I often look up. We have to. Because He's coming one of these days. Don't miss out. Listen, some people go through life, I conclude with this. Some people go through life, they get up in the morning, they're so busy. They get up in the morning, the first thing is, I need to get to Dunkin Donuts. Get Dunkin Donuts, I need to get to work. They don't even forget to look if it's raining or if the weather's... They don't even look up. Their minds are on one thing. They do their little thing inside a building all day. And they turn around and go back home. They forgot to look up. Let's look up. Because Jesus can come in any moment. Let's pray.
