Prophetic Scriptures - Part 12

INTRO: In the last message I introduced us to the millennium. I gave you an illustration by A. W. Tozer, on how a certain rich man built a beautiful palace. It was the most beautiful place on earth. Then renegades with hobnailed boots defeated the prince and made a mess of the city. There is a picture of mankind and the earth at present. And what a mess it is! And then fortunes changed, the original owner returned, and the palace was put back in shape again. I believe that in the millennium, the original owner returns, and begins to put things back in shape again, and once more this earth begins to take on the splendor it once had. But, the millennium is not yet the final perfection. That comes only after dealing with the devil after this time period, as we shall see.
