FOR
BELIEVERS, A THOUSAND YEARS OF PEACE AND JOY (advanced training,
graduate
school) AS FULLY EMPOWERED WITNESSES
(Rev
20:1-3)
And I saw an angel [i.e.,
Jesus Christ] [1]
come down from heaven, having the key
of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid
hold on
the dragon, that 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 deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be
fulfilled: and after that he must
be loosed a little season.
1.
(Jude
1:9) Yet Michael the archangel
[Gk: the chief angel], when contending with the
devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst [Gk: dared] not bring against him a railing
accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee. [for
only the triune Godhead has the power to control Satan]
OUR
ACTIVITIES AFTER THE FIRST RESURRECTION
(Rev
20:4-6)
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them [the “four
and twenty elders”
Rev 4:4], 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 [i.e., basic carnal attempts to destroy
God’s
Thoughts], and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads [in
their thoughts], or in their hands [by their works];
and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand
years. But the rest of the dead lived not again
until the
thousand years were finished. This
is the
first resurrection. 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
God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a
thousand years [as “kings and priests” Rev 1:6; 5:10].
1.
(Isa
11:1-9) And there
shall come forth a rod [of
correction leading to order, i.e., Jesus Christ] out of the stem
of
Jesse [the father of David], and a
Branch [believers: David and us through
David (i.e.,
humans), and possibly four more branches of believers, i.e.,
the “four
living creatures” of (Ezek 1:4-28), i.e., four aliens who
may also
be the “four beasts” of (Rev 4:6-11)] shall grow out of
his
roots: And the spirit of the LORD
shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
LORD; And shall
make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he
shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after
the hearing
of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the
poor, and
reprove with equity [Heb: justice] [fairness]
for the meek
of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with
the rod of his mouth, and with
the breath of his lips [i.e.,
with the sword
of the Word that he speaks] shall he slay the wicked. And
righteousness shall be the
girdle of his
loins, and faithfulness the
girdle of his
reins. 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 together: and the lion
shall
eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall
play on
the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his
hand on
the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt
nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the
knowledge
of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea [Hab
2:14].
AND
THE ULTIMATE DEFEAT OF SATAN
(Rev
20:7-10)
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison, And
shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in
the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together
to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And
they
went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed [surrounded]
the
camp of the saints about, and the beloved city
[Jerusalem]:
and fire came down from God out of heaven [in the
form of worldwide thermo-nuclear
war, i.e., as “a consuming fire”], and
devoured them. And the devil that deceived them
was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where
the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever.
THE
GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT
(Rev
20:11-15) And
I saw a great white throne,
and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away
[from
the presence of God]; and there was found no place
for them. And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God;
and the books [of works] were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of
life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written
in the
books, according to their works. And the sea gave
up the
dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead
which
were in them: and they were judged every man according to their
works. And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death. And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the
lake of fire [1].
1.
(Matt
25:41) Then shall he [Jesus]
say also unto them [unto the goats] on the left
hand, Depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels
[i.e., the goats]:
Amen
