Millenial Kingdom of God -- What Will It Be Like?
The word “millennium” is derived from two Latin words: mille, meaning “thousand” and annus, meaning “year.” Millennium therefore means “thousand years.” We read in 2 Peter 3:8 that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." Also, "a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday" (Ps.90:4). Revelation 20:1-7 mentions a period of "a thousand years" during which Satan is chained and the saints live and rule with Christ. This thousand-year period is called a "rest" which Christians can "enter into" if they aren't "disobedient" (Heb.4:1,6,10,11; ASV, Gspd, Moffatt, Ber, Bas). Just as God physically created the earth in six literal days, making man in his physical image, and rested on the seventh day, so also he is creating his spiritual image of moral character in man for 6000 years before the Millenium when man will have a chance to rest. The Sabbath is "a shadow of things to come" (Col. 2:16-17). The penalty God threatened Adam with was that, "in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" which caused Adam as well as all his descendants to die within 1000 years of their birth. A week is therefore 7000 years.
From when our Lord came the first time (26-27 AD) till when he comes the second time for his bride (2026 AD) is 2000 years. Recall that in 1406 BC, when Joshua conquered the Promised Land, "the priests" blew "with the trumpets" (Josh. 6:4). This foreshadows the seven trumpets that are blown in the Apocalypse culminating in another Joshua (Yeshua) invading and conquering another Promised Land (the entire earth) with other Israelites (saints). "About two thousand cubits" (Joshua 3:4) separated the Ark from Israel just as about 2000 years separate the first coming of our Lord (26-27 AD) from the resurrection of Christians (2026 AD)
1. "About 2000 Cubits" (Josh. 3:4) Separated the Ark From Israel Just As 2000 Years Separate the First Coming of our Lord (26-27 AD) From the Resurrection of Christians (2026 AD)
The Second Coming will occur in 2026 AD. Clockwise from when "the elders of Israel ... (solar oil) anointed David (solar golden crown) king" (1 Chr. 11:3) in 1011 BC. till the Lord "cometh to judge the earth" (1 Chr. 16:33) in 2026 AD is 36,432 months (101 laps + 72° more). Each degree is one month making the scale much more accurate than a degree-year scale. From when "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen" (Rev. 18:2) on 11 Sept. 2001 (sun fire in Ophiuchus) till "in the (lunar) cup which she (Virgo) hath filled fill to her double" (Rev. 18:6) is 300 degree months bringing us to 2026. From when the Philadelphia Era began in 1517 with the "open door" of the Protestant Reformation (sun in Sagittarius) till the lunar "crown" (Rev. 3:11) on Taurus that is a two-pronged key that "opens" (+149°) and "shuts" (+360°) (Rev. 3:7) is 2026. From when "a branch shall grow out of his (Jesse's) roots" (Scorpio's eight limbs look like roots) in 26 AD till "ye (Canis Major) draw water out of the (solar & lunar) wells of salvation" (Isa. 12:3) is 2000 years ending in 2026. From when "he (Auriga) sat on the (Milky Way) Mount of Olives" and "the (Gemini & Orion) disciples came unto him privately saying, Tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the (Zodiac) sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matt. 24:3) in 30 AD till "the eagles (Lyra, Aquila) be gathered together" (Matt. 24:28) and "they shall (lunar eyeball) see the (Sagittarius) son of man coming in the (Milky Way) clouds of heaven with power and great (solar) glory" (Matt. 24:30) is 2026 AD. From when the (lunar) axe is laid at the (Scorpio) root" (Matt. 3:10) till (Perseus' "sword" and Hercules' "club") fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his (solar golden) wheat into the garner" (3:11-12) is 2026 AD. From when our Lord "weighed the (brown lunar crescent) mountains in (Libra) scales" (40:12) and "the nations ... as the small (brown) dust of the (Libra) balance" (40:15) in 539 B.C. till our Lord (Sagittarius) "measured the (blue solar) waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out (blue solar) heaven with the (red radius line compass) span" (the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger when the hand is fully extended)(40:12) and "Behold, the nations are as a (blue) drop of a (black Zodiac circle) bucket" (40:15) in 2026 A.D. is 2564° years till He brings "his (solar blue earth -- "they shall inherit the earth" -- Matt. 5:5) reward ... with him" (40:10). "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (a resurrection in 2026 A.D.); they shall mount up with wings as eagles (Aquila; Lyra; Cygnus); they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (in a resurrection in 2026 A.D.) (40:31). From when "I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands (lunar shield and red radius line spear held by Gemini), wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the (red radius line) walls, and I will assemble them (Gemini) into the midst of this city" (Jer. 21:4) and "Mine (lunar red) heart within me is (half moon) broken because of the prophets; all my (Milky Way) bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom (a red lunar cup of) wine hath overcome ... For the land is full of (red radius line) adulterers ... For both prophet and priest (Gemini) are profane (red moon); yea, in my (red radius line) house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord" (23:9-11) and "I will ... make them drink the (red lunar) water of gall" (a metaphor for snake venom -- Deut 32:33) (23:15) because "they are prophets of the (lunar red) deceit of their own heart" (23:26) "that use their (lunar red) tongues, and say, He saith" (23:31) to their "perpetual shame" (red radius line in Canis Major) (23:40) in 585 B.C. until "I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their (red radius line) folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase" (Coma and Virgo pregnant) (Jer. 23:3) is 2026 AD.
From when "I will (red radius line) break his (crescent) yoke from off thy (Taurus) neck, and will (red radius line) burst thy bonds, and (Gemini) strangers shall no more serve themselves of him" (Jer. 30:8) in 539 B.C.; and from when "I was chastised, as a (Taurus) bullock unaccustomed to the yoke" (Jer. 31:18) in 539 B.C. TILL "I will satiate the soul of the (Gemini) priests with (solar white) fatness" (31:14) in 2026 A.D. and men appear to be travailing with child: "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins (Gemini), as a (pregnant) woman in travail, and all faces are turned into (solar white) paleness?" (30:6) in 2026 A.D., is seven times around plus 44° years. Clockwise from "the day that I lifted up mine (Aquarius;Castor; Cepheus) hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt (the Exodus in 1446 B.C.) into a land that I had espied for them, flowing (out of Aquarius's bucket) with (lunar white) milk and (solar golden) honey" (Ez. 20:6)(sun in Gemini) till "I will bring you out from the (Gemini) people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty (Aquarius; Castor; Cepheus) hand, and with a stretched out (Aquarius;Castor; Cepheus) arm, and with fury (solar fire from red radius line Aquarius' bucket) poured out" (Ez. 20:34) at the Second Coming of our Lord in 2026 A.D. (moon in Aquarius) is 3471° years which is 9 laps plus 231° years more.
2. "The Lord will come with FIRE" (Isa. 66:15). "But who may abide the day of his coming ... For he is like a refiner's FIRE" (Mal. 3:2). "For behold, the day cometh that shall BURN like an oven, and all the proud, yea all that shall do wickedly, shall be STUBBLE; and the day that cometh shall BURN them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch" (Mal. 4:1-2). "But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men ... the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall MELT with fervent HEAT; the earth also, and the works that are in it, shall be BURNED up" (2 Pet. 3:7-10).
This means that ice caps will melt and the ocean level will rise causing flooding of islands and coasts around the earth. Therefore, move to a high elevation in a cold climate to survive. "I wish you were cold or hot" (Rev. 3:15). Whitehorse, Yukon is 2300 feet above sea level and is cold in winter. If oceans rose, it would merely create a protective moat around the high ground, making Whitehorse more accessable to shipping trade. If temperatures rose, Whitehorse would be able to grow crops year round.
3. POLE SHIFT 180 degrees. Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down" (Isa. 24:1). "And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree" (Isa. 34:4). "Heaven and earth shall pass away" (Matt. 24:35). "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places" (Rev. 6:14).
This means that the globe will rotate in the opposite direction. The sun will rise in west and set in east.
4. Typified by SOLOMON'S REIGN in which "the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as common as stones" (2 Chr. 1:15), had "peace on every side" (1 Ki. 5:4) and great "wisdom" (2 Chr. 9:6).
5. VEGETARIAN DIET at last, just like at first, is described as "very good" (Gen. 1:31) at the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21). There will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3) "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5).
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so" (Gen. 1:29-30). There will be a return and restoration to this ideal in the Millenium.
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them
. . And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down togerther: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox" (Isa. 11:6-7).
When did the change come to a carnivorous diet? Noah was told, in 2304 BC, "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things" (Gen. 9:3). Yes, "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also" (Rom. 8:22-23)." "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain" (Isa. 11:9).
6. SPRINGTIME FOREVER at last, just like at first and NO INCLINED ORBIT of 23.5 degrees at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5). The ICE CANOPY (10-20 inches of ice suspended by magnetic field -- the Meisner effect) will be re-installed creating a greenhouse that doubles the air pressure and allows the oxygen content to increase to 35% rather than 21% and blocks out the sun's UV rays and x-rays that cause premature aging. Like living in a hyperbaric chamber.
"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind" (Isa. 65:17; 2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21:1).
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9).
How did dinosaurs (Brontosaurus, etc.) get enough oxygen to breathe when they had nostrils the same size as a horse does today? Air pressure was increased to double present pressure and there was 50% more oxygen in the air (Time, Nov. 9, 1987, p.82 -- 32%; cp. New Scientist March 11,2000 -- 35%). How do we know? Air bubbles in amber (petrified tree sap) were tested and found to have 32% oxygen compared to 21% oxygen in the modern atmosphere. Under double atmospheric pressure blood plasma will become oxygen saturated which means you could run hundreds of miles without getting tired. You would heal much faster. You would be full of energy all the time. The canopy would have squeezed our present 100-mile-thick atmosphere down to 10 or 20 miles
"Spring was forever ... earth, unplowed, brought forth rich grain" (Ovid Metam. 1:108) from pole to pole.
"He also placed a crystalline firmament round it" (Josephus book 1 chapt. 1).
Seasons as we know them will disappear in the Millenium: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth the seed" (Amos 9:13). "Unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth and grow up like calves of the stall" (Mal. 4:1-2)
When did the change to four seasons come? In 2304 BC: "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Gen. 8:22). "In those days Noah saw that the earth became INCLINED, and that destruction approached" (Book of Enoch 64:1). "The earth is moved exceedingly" (Isa. 24:18). "All the foundations of the earth are out of course" (Ps. 82:5). Yes, His "voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet ONCE MORE I shake not the earth only, but also heaven" (Heb. 12:26). Yes, "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also" (Rom. 8:22-23). 7. ONE LANGUAGE at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech" (Gen. 11:1).
In about 2203 BC, the Tower of Babel confusion took place. "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech" (Gen. 11:7).There are SEVENTY-TWO nations mentioned in Genesis 10 (see LXX) (not counting the three sons of Noah). Japheth's 14; Ham's 30; and Shem's 28. Horus Apollo says, "It is reported that the world was formerly in SEVENTY-TWO divisions:" Epiphanius adopts SEVENTY-TWO nations. Hippolytus' Chronicle refers to SEVENTY-TWO nations (pp. 50, 52, 331). Syncellus mentions SEVENTY-TWO languages. Clement of Alexandria says there were only SEVENTY-TWO languages (Strom. 1:21; 142:2). Enoch agrees to SEVENTY-TWO languages of the world (3 En. 17:8; 18:2; 20:2). As Moses said, "When the Eternal divided to the nations their inheritance; when he separated Adam's sons, he set the boundaries of the people, according to the number of the children of Israel" (Deut. 32:8) because there were also SEVENTY-TWO Israelites. "And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were TWO souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were THREESCORE and TEN" (Gen. 46:27) -- a total of SEVENTY-TWO. "He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents." (Ps. 78:55). "The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
"For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent" (Zeph. 3:9).
8. SYNCHRONIZED COMMENSURATE CALENDAR of 360-day year and 30-day month at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3).
"I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5).
The year was originally 360 days long with 30-day months (Genesis 7:11,24 and 8:3-4) -- "very good" (Gen. 1:31). This is how 150 days, counted from the seventeenth day of the second month, and ended on the seventeenth day of the seventh month (Genesis 7:11,24 and 8:3-4) equal exactly five months of 30 days each. Then the year became our modern 365.2422 days per year in 701 BC as reflected in the calendar changes around the world at this time. The story in Isaiah 38 tells us about God adding years to Hezekiah's life and using a miracle to prove it. That miracle implies accelerating the earth's orbit so that a 360 day year with a 30 day month becomes our modern 365.2422 day year with a lunar month equal to 29.531 days. "The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
The earth is headed for a 360-day year again! Daniel 7:25 speaks about the last part of the tribulation with the Antichrist in power as lasting three-and-one-half years. The book of Revelation 11:2 and 13:5 describes the same period of time as being 42 months. Revelation 11:3 and 12:6 tells us that it is 1,260 days. Therefore 1,260 days divided by 42 months = 30 days per month and 42 months of 30 days per month = 3 1/2 years exactly of 360 days per year. To achieve a 30 day month the earth's orbit around the sun must be speeded up so a year would = 360 days. "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elects (chosen ones) sake those days will be shortened." (Matthew 24:22) "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37). Our Calendar of 365.2422 days per year x 3.5 years = 1278.3477 days. Revelation's Calendar of 360 days per year x 3.5 years = 1260. This time period of 3.5 years would be shortened by 18.3477 days.
According to the Bible (Gen. 5:23-24; Heb. 11:5) Enoch did not die, but was taken or raptured by God when he was in his 365th year. We believe this is a type of the rapture that will occur of those who "walk with God" in the end-time during a 365-day age. In other words, just before a destruction of the world, "as in the days of Noah", there was and is a 365-day age of both Enoch and modern man. After the rapture, we then revert to Noah's perfect 360-day age which is also mentioned in the book of Revelation.
Twelve moons orbiting earth rather than just one? Some scriptures seem to indicate this.
9. LONG LIFESPANS at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3); "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
"And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died" (Gen. 5:5).
But for the past 6000 years, "men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days" (Ps. 55:23). Even Jacob said, "Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning" (Gen. 47:9). "The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
"There shall be no more in it an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die an hundred years old, but the sinner, being an hundred years old, shall be accursed ... for like the DAYS OF A TREE are the days of my people, and mine elect shall LONG enjoy the work of their hands" (Isa. 65:20-22).
10. BIBLE LAWS OBEYED (Sabbath, Festivals, Kosher Food, Tithing, Niddah) at last, just like at first, which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
Originally, God "rested on the seventh day from all his work" (Gen. 2:2) as an example to Adam and Eve since God "doesn't faint. He isn't weary" (Isa. 40:28).
For the past 6000 years, men "have violated my law (Heb. "torah"), and have profaned mine holy things; they have put no difference between the holy and the profane, neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them" (Ez.22:26).
"The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
Starting in the Millenium, God's laws will be kept forever and ever (Ps. 119:44, 160).
The Law shall go forth from Zion (Micah 4:2; Isa. 2:3)
.
All flesh shall worship God from one Sabbath to another (Isa. 66:23). Instead of Sabbath-keepers being eliminated from the work-force, they will be included.
All nations shall keep the Feast of Tabernacles (Zech. 14:16-19). Employees won't be paid "by the hour" (which promotes laziness) but instead their wages will be based on their productivity.
11. IMMORTALITY when saints are glorified at last, just as Adam & Eve were probably covered in a garment of light at first which was "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5). Christians are "hidden" for "six years" (2 Ki. 11:3) till mature enough to RULE with Christ in the "seventh year".
In Scripture, "garments" symbolize both righteous and evil works:
"His garment was white as snow" (Dan. 7:9).
"Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands" (Isa. 59:6 )
"He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels" (Isa. 61:10) (Adam and Even were clothed originally in these white robes of righteousness.) "Then shall the righterous shine forth as the sun" (Matt. 13:43).
Bring again people of Israel (Amos 9:14-15)
Put a new spirit within you (Ez. 11:17-20).
Be exalted above the Gentiles (Isa. 61:4-6).
We
shall be joint-heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17).
The Kingdom shall be given to the saints of the Most High (Dan. 7:18,22,27).
We shall also appear with Him in glory (Col. 3:4).
We will have power and sit with Him on His throne (Rev. 2:26; 3:21).
As kings and priests, we shall reign on earth (Rev. 1:6; 5:10).
We shall reign with Him a thousand years (Rev. 20:6).
"The king's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold" (Ps. 45:13).
"Our first parents are described to have borne on the exterior of their bodies a sort of TRANSPARENT INTEGUMENT, in substance like the NAIL at the ends of our fingers, but of a SILVERY WHITENESS, effulgent like the stars of heaven; that part which still adhered to their fingers' ends being left as a perpetual memento of the state of perfect happiness from which they had fallen" (Tarikh Tebry, quoted in Price's "History of Arabia).
12.
WICKED PEOPLE EXCLUDED from the Kingdom at last, just like at first when Adam & Eve were originally righteous by themselves in the Garden of Eden; then driven from Eden when they sinned (Gen. 3:24) which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21), there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50). "The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
The unrepentant sinners shall not inherit the kingdom (Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:15).
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters (X-mas, Easter, Halloween), nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexuals), nor thieves (non-tithers), nor covetous (pornography if woman is married), nor drunkards (nor high on drugs), nor revilers, nor extortioners (interest on loan), shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness (pork-eaters; no niddah bathing), lasciviousness (being sexy), idolatry, sorcery (drugs), hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, factions, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders (abortion), drunkenness, revelings ... they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:19-21).
This is the "pearl of great price" (Matt. 13:45-46) and the "treasure" which a man "sells all he has" to buy (Matt. 13:44) and does not love the things of this world (1John 2:15-17) but instead becomes a "SCRIBE who has been trained for the kingdom of Heaven" "like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure both what is NEW (testament) and what is OLD (testament)'” (Matthew 13:52). A SCRIBE obeys the BIBLE and quotes the BIBLE. Therefore the pearl and treasure is OBEDIENCE TO THE BIBLE. Just as a dragnet gathers "all sorts of fish" but only the "good fish" are saved, so it will be when the angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous and cast the evil into the fiery furnace” (Matthew 13:47-50).
13. NO SICKNESS OR PAIN at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
Inhabitants shall not say, “I am sick” (Isa. 33:24)
The blind, deaf, lame, dumb, healed (Isa. 35:5-6).
The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard because they will be healed (Isa. 65:17-20).
God shall wipe away all tears and pain (Rev. 7:17; 21:4)
"The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together ... waiting" (Rom. 8:22-23).
Instead of drugs, vaccines, surgery and radiation, people will eat vitamin-rich and mineral-rich food
14. After Yeshua conquers the wicked world in seven years, in fulfillment of Joshua conquering wicked Canaan in seven years (Josh. 14:7; 14:10-15) when "the land had rest from war." , there will be NO WAR at last, just like at first which is "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5). But there will be a war at His return: First War:
He will smite the nations and rule them with a rod of iron (Ps. 2:8-9; Rev. 19:15).

God promised Abraham's descendants LAND (Gen.12:1) "From the river of Egypt to the Euphrates" (Gen. 15:18) as an "everlasting possession" (Gen. 17:8). Syria, Jordan and Iraq, as well as parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia will be owned by Israel. In fact, this promise of LAND expands to include the WHOLE EARTH since "the meek shall inherit the EARTH" (Matt. 5:5). That means no property taxes. That means you don't have to ask permission to cut down a tree or drill a well or build a garage. No permits required. No red tag. No zoning restrictions on whether you can own chickens, goats, sheep, cows, llamas, or ducks.
The money will be silver and gold, not paper, so that inherent value equals face value and it can't be inflated (purchasing value stolen).
"But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid" (Micah 4:4)
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth" (Matt. 5:5).
The Kingdom of God is a literal kingdom with Jerusalem as its capitol (Jer. 3:17) and Christ as its King (Luke 1:32-33) ruling the entire earth (Rev. 5:10) for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4), speaking one pure language (Zeph. 3:9) using Biblical laws to govern (Matt. 5:19-20). Not of this world now (John 18:36). Only those saints who OBEY the Bible NOW will qualify to rule with Christ our Lord in the future (Dan. 7:18). The BRITISH EMPIRE foreshadows the Kingdom of God (Hosea 12:10). Also the human kingdom of Israel from Moses through Solomon till captivity foreshadowed the Kingdom of God (1 Sam. 12:12; 1 Chr. 28:5). As truly as the four kingdoms
(Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome) were material, human kingdoms,
so surely is the FIFTH STONE Kingdom a real material kingdom ruled
over by kings, and made up of men. The Gospels teach TWO KINGDOMS of God. First notice the human, PHYSICAL Kingdom of ISRAEL: The "kingdom (physical) shall be taken from you, and given to a (physical) nation bringing forth the fruit thereof" (Matt.21:43). "Whosoever shall fall upon this (physical) stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to (physical) powder" (Matt. 21:44). This is the Israelite "stone cut out without hands" (Dan. 2:45). Now notice the references to the SPIRITUAL Kingdom of HEAVEN: "But "my kingdom is not of this world (spiritual)" (John 18:36). "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (spiritual)" (John 3:3). "The kingdom of heaven (spiritual) is at hand" (Matt. 3:2)."Like a grain of mustard seed (spiritual)" (Matt. 13:31). "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the (spiritual) kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom (physical) shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 8:11-12). "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption" (1 Cor. 15:50). "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators (date rape), nor idolaters (x-mass tree), nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves (non-tithers), nor covetous (pornography), nor drunkards (pot smokers also), nor revilers ("ministers" who ignore one side of an argument), nor extortioners (compulsory home and car insurance agents) will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9-10).
20. SEGREGATION at last, just like at first which was "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
Exodus 33:16 states, "For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight (Moses asks God)? Is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be SEPARATED, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth." God "determined ... the BOUNDS of their habitation" (Acts 17:26). He "SEPARATED the sons of Adam" (Deut.32:8). And again in Leviticus 20:24: "I am the Eternal your God, who have SEPARATED you from other people." "The people shall dwell ALONE, and shall not be reckoned among the nations" (Num.23:9). "They shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land" (13:14) (See also Ex.11:7 & Deut.32:8.) God is the author of SEGREGATION!
21. JUSTICE at Judgment Day at last, just like at first which was "very good" (Gen. 1:31). At the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21) there will be "no more curse" (Rev. 22:3). "I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5)
