Download or read book Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond written by Zondervan, and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there biblical evidence for a thousand-year earthly kingdom (the Millennium) ruled by Christ before the fulfillment of the new heaven and new earth? Revelation chapter 20 seems to suggest so, but few books of the Bible are so difficult to interpret. And a discussion of the Millennium branches out into many other theological questions about the end times (eschatology): Are these the last days? What must happen before Jesus returns? What part does the church play? This Counterpoints volume compares three views of the Millennium: Premillennial: Christ will come again before this kingdom is established. Postmillennial: our present age represents that kingdom and that the church is and must move toward the fulfillment of this kingdom. Amillennial: a future Millennium is not a literal kingdom, and when Christ returns, he will usher in an immediate new heaven and new earth. Robert B. Strimple, Kenneth L. Gentry Jr., and Craig A. Blaising offer their perspectives, giving their exegetical reasoning. Each of them then responds to the views held by their peers in a respectful and informative setting, making it easy for you to compare their beliefs and gain a better understanding of how this aspect of Christianity's great hope--the return of Jesus--is understood by the church. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

Download or read book Knowledge of the Biblical Millennium written by Michelle Quiller and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind has come through billions of years of time periods (or dispensations) from the time of the age of the dinosaur being that first earth age. The first earth age was the time period before the existence of mankind (flesh man). This second earth age extends from the time of the Garden of Eden, leading up to the birth of Jesus the Christ. In This end time which we are now in, places us in the sixth dispensational time period of the second Heaven and Earth Age. The sixth dispensation places us before the seventh dispensation, which will be the dispensation of Christ return since 2500 years ago Ch will then prepare us for the third Heaven and Earth Age. And now two and a half millenniums have passed since Christ's ascension into heaven from this great earth where Christ shall soon return to establish the eternal heavenly kingdom following a 1000 year teaching Milieu period where mankind will be in the spirit body, who is the inward man, for flesh and blood will be no more and will not enter into heaven. This will be the seventh dispensational period of time. Christ began teaching me to understand this 20years ago, in order that I could teach mankind what he is very close to going into. We are now in the gap period of Christ's Second Advent return in this sixth dispensational period of the second Heaven and Earth Age of time. And we now await the second coming of the Lord to begin the seventh dispensation, being this earth's last dispensation before the heavenly, third earth "age" time period. The Heavenly period will be without end. We are leading into an age which will be the heavenly reign with Christ, and the Father for a world without end as scriptures records (EZ. 37; Rev 19 Chapters. This will be a day and time of mankind's existence in spirit body form as man existed in the first earth age time before the Garden of Eden began. This heavenly age is a time period when flesh, blood, and sin will be no more, the Heavenly Father is ready to harvest his inhabits of the earth. As scripture foretells, then all will be in the Lord's Day, and no one will be able to waste nor destroy ever again, in all of God's Holy Mountain in that day which all scripture foretells as "The Lord's Day." This book is being written out of seventeen years of divine inspirations, repetitious Biblical visions, and many personal visitations of our Heavenly Father, of Christ and His urging on the Millennial Books of the Bible's scriptures. Those scriptures which point out that the Latter Days of flesh man's life span is now upon this fig tree generation; by the sign that Israel has become a nation again in our history (Mat. 13:39). My prayer to Church of the End Time Is that God will "Bring thy people, Oh' Lord out of bondage of captivity to traditions and slavery," For you, "Oh LORD!' are our impenetrable faith and our only Redeemer who will Ransom the nations of this world out of all of her troubles. It is then that we can truly "Sing the Song of Moses," for we are a nation void of Your counsel, and we as a generation lack in full knowledge of your coming kingdom plans instead we look for the Rapture (Duet. 32:28).

Download or read book The Millennium Heaven on Earth written by James Richards and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is based on Bible prophecies in the Old and New Testaments. Daniel 7:13-14 and Isaiah 2:4 are two of the many prophecies in the Old Testament. In the New Testament in Matthew 6:10, Jesus taught his disciples to pray for God's will "to be done on earth as it is in heaven." In Revelation 20:4 states about the reign of JESUS CHRIST for a 1000 years THE MILLENNIUM. In Revelation 20:1-3, the scriptures say God is going to lock Satan, the devil, up for a thousand years. This is when the millennium will come to the planet Earth-Paradise Restored. From this verse, we get the word millennium, Latin for "one thousand," the kingly rule of God by Jesus and the resurrected saints, the kingdom of heaven on planet Earth. In the millennium, crime, sickness, pain, and suffering are gone. Poverty and corruption and even prisons and funeral homes will be eventually eliminated during this one thousand years (Rev. 21:4-5).

Download or read book Just Do Something written by Kevin DeYoung and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER 300,000 COPIES SOLD! Why won’t God reveal his special will for my life already? Because he doesn’t intend to... So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way. Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering. With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it. This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.

Download or read book Apocalypse and Millennium written by Kenneth G. C. Newport and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Apocalypse and Millennium argues that far from being a random sequence of bizarre statements, millennial schemes (including the setting of dates for the second coming of Christ) are more often characterised by highly complex and internally consistent interpretations of scripture. Such interpretations do not always result in positive outcomes. As an example, the work of David Koresh is examined at length. Koresh, styled by some the 'Wacko from Waco', clearly had views which some would find odd. However, his interpretation of scripture did not lack system or context, and to see him in that light is to begin to understand why his message had appeal, particularly to those of the Seventh-day Adventist tradition. The final three chapters in this book outline Koresh's thinking on end-time events and trace the line of his interpretative tradition from nineteenth-century Millerism through Seventh-day Adventism and Davidianism (which began in 1929)."--BOOK JACKET.
