The Millennial Reign

[QUOTE="Edward, post: 1520155, member:
What is the purpose of the Millennial Reign of Jesus for the 1000 years here on earth?

To fulfill the prophecies about it obviously, and perhaps to show us how it would have been or should have been had corruption not entered the world and caused man kinds fall? And a final test of us when Satan gets loosed for a short season at the end of the 1000 years....Anything else?

There has to be more to it...

after Jerusalem is destroyed there will be a faithful remnant of the Jewish people, 144,000, strong. These will fulfill the prophecy of Israel becoming a royal nation of priests who will serve in the Millennial Temple during the Thousand Years. During the thousand years the Gentile nations will be commanded to come up to the .Millennial temple especially during the Feast of Tabernacles. During those years Gentile nations will refuse and have rain withheld.

sorry but there was no edit button to apply to my other post. Here is the Scripture for the Gentiles having to come up for Tabernacles.

16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles." Zec. 14: 16-18

It will be at the end of the 1,000 years when Satan is released that and he deceives the nations. leads them against the Millennial Temple and meets the Lord at a place called Har Megiddo or what has become known as Armageddon where Satan is defeated and the defeat Gentile armies become food for the birds of the air. Satan is thrown into the Lake of Fire where anti-Christ and the false prophet have been locked away for the thousand years. Victory is the Lamb's.
