The Thousand Year Reign with Christ (My Perspectives)

[3rddayuprising]

Someone once said, "God interprets His own Word...by bringing It to pass." This, I believe is ultimately the truth. But, until then, yes, we need to be "walking in the Light as He is in the Light", children of the day...so that we are not "caught unawares" at the coming of the great Day of the Lord. Which will be "as a thief" to the wicked and those who walk in darkness.

In my 'walking in the Light', I still see that Jesus remains in heaven UNTIL "every enemy is put under His feet"...the last enemy to be destroyed being death. Satan is even still loosed "for a short season" at the end of the thousand year reign. (Rev. 20:3)

My belief is that we do not receive glorified bodies until AFTER the thousand year reign. This, I purpose to touch on in this writing.

Many cannot see how that we can live a life "caught up to the Throne" while still being on the earth in these physical bodies. But we see differently in the Pattern that Jesus demostrated for us in His earthly Life.

Jesus began His walk with the Father...seated with Him "on His Throne", exercising a Life of dominion...when He received the Baptism of the Spirit, the Spirit "without measure". (Matt. 3:16,17) This was His "adoption as a full grown Son".

You don't get any more "seated with the Father" than having the Father dwell IN you in FULLNESS and working through you in an authority and power over all creation, demons AND death.

Jesus "overcame" at His temptations in the wilderness (over the devil), and came out "in the power of the Spirit". Luke 4:14

Jesus, in His "UNglorified" body...before His resurrection could already, in that condition, "pass through the midst of them" (Luke 4:30) and not be touched or taken or killed by them. He had power over death as He walked in the fullness of the Spirit...even in His UNglorified body. No one could "take His life", but He had to "give it". He could have lived forever even in that body. He could have called a legion of angels to deliver Him from the cross.

We are still growing and maturing with only the "earnest of the Spirit"...the Spirit "by measure", to eventually bring us to a FULLNESS where we walk with God as Jesus did. We will be "caught up" at this time into a Life of authority and power, walking IN THE SPIRIT fully as Jesus did...for a thousand years. NOT just to prove "a Godly life-style", as some might think...but renovating this earth and setting creation free, and putting even death under our feet.

This is how I see it, but we will definitely know for sure when God brings His own Word to pass.


Also, my brothers and sisters, When the "man-child is caught up to the Throne" this is the "feet company", the called-out chosen elect, who are quickened into the 'fullness of the Holy Spirit' to bring forth a manifestation of power and authority to set creation free and put under foot death itself.

Jesus remains in heaven UNTIL this last enemy "death" is proven to be conquered through a people who still live in bodies subject to death.

Hebrews 10:12,13 "But this man (Jesus), after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool."

1 Cor. 15:25,26 "For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

This is manifestly demonstrated and proven as this "feet company" live for a full day...a thousand years, in THESE bodies...in the fullness of the Spirit.

No one...since the fall, ever lived a 'full day'...a thousand years, but the "feet company" will, the overcomers.

Remember, Jesus is the Pattern Son in ALL True Revelation. Your "revelation" must fit the Pattern as we see in Jesus from His birth, His life on earth...all the way through to His resurrection and ascension or your theology is terribly and dangerously flawed.

The traditional idea of the "rapture" is the conclusion of the carnal mind trying to figure God and His plan out rather than seek and wait upon Him for Revelation. It also helps to be one of His own...as it is to His own these things are revealed. (Matthew 13:11) He said it, not me.

John was "caught up" to the Lord's Day, but this was a "spiritual catching up". He was "in the Spirit" on the Lord's day...while still ON EARTH.

Moses and Elijah not Enock. Dosn't matter that much, I don't intend to have my feet on the ground during those times. I am very much in agreement with one of your statements and that is Jesus as our Massiah. He who is able both do and accomplish the good will of the Father, It is only His alone to do. So many words, so many promises, Jesus never fails. We shall see Him and we will be changed. All things are possible with God.

Love that Word and the "Hope of The World", what a great and wonderfull thing. He is with us until the end of the age, then we will be with Him also. I go and prepare a place for you so that where I go you may be also. How and when is in the Fathers good will. I, Trust in The Lord forever, Isaiah 26: 4.

Ezekiel chapters forty through forty eight are discussing only the Millennium age time period, "The Thousand Year Reign with Christ" and the "Temple and oblation, or offerings" and sacrifices that will take place during that time period. When we are talking about the "Temple" it is actually a mistake to speak of the wonderful series of courts and buildings, described in these final chapters of Ezekiel, collectively as "the Temple". The proper term is "The Sanctuary", as the description starts to unfold in chapter 40.

Notice that the governing figure of the dimensions given throughout the last eight chapters, not only in connection with the Sanctuary, but also in the measurements of the holy "Oblation unto Jehovah", of the land, is the number "5". The spiritual significance of the number five denotes "Divine grace". It is God adding His gifts and blessing to the works of His hands. This is why five is the leading factor in the Tabernacle [Sanctuary] measurements.

The Sanctuary is in the midst of the central portion of the middle [the Priests'] portion of the "Oblation". The Altar which occupies the exact center of the Sanctuary [not the Temple proper], is thus twelve miles from the north gate of the city, twelve miles from the southern boundary of the Levites' portion, and yet thirty miles from both the eastern and western boundaries of the "Oblation" respectively.

The Sanctuary is comprised in a great square of the boundary wall enclosing the outer Court. This wall, we will see is twelve feet six inches high, and has the same width. The Temple is inside the inner Court, and is referred to as the "Separate Place", and is 216 feet square.

We will see that the Altar before the House, or Temple, is in the midst of the "Separate Place", and it is the actual center of the Millennial Sanctuary, and Worship. This indicates that the millennial "Temple" is really the Palace, the home of the Messiah, and shows the connect our Lord Jesus Christ will have with the "city of the Great King."

We will see at the glorious "Dedication" of the Sanctuary, which is mentioned in Ezekiel 43:2-6, Jehovah's glorious entry is through the gate of the outward Sanctuary, on the east side, which will then be closed for entry by everyone, except the "Prince" [the risen David].

In today's measurements of setting out buildings and distances, rods and tapes, or chains are used a recognized standardized lengths. This is precisely what we have in Ezekiel 40:3. When we look at the geographic locations of the land mass in the Holy Lands today, it is obvious that things will change at the sounding of the seventh and final trumpet. So as we study the rest of the book of Ezekiel, try to keep in mind that the flesh age is over for mankind, and the change of I Corinthians 50-52 has taken place. The Antichrist [Satan] is gone as well as all the false ministers, fallen angels and every form of idol and idolatry that exists in this earth age. The age of grace will have moved into a new dispensation.

This is because our Lord Jesus Christ will then be with us forever, and all mankind will be living in their incorruptible bodies, however, only those who overcame the Antichrist at the sounding to the seventh trumpet will have immortality. All those who in ignorance bowed to the Antichrist will be required to keep all the Oblations, offerings and sacrifices. Then after the thousand years they will each be judged by their works. This is the reason for the Great Sanctuary, which is one seventh larger than King Solomon's Temple.

The writings and teachings of Ezekiel were given to us as a sign, and the things he taught, and the life he lived were examples of things that would come to pass. God told Ezekiel to teach His word only to those who were spiritually dead, to wake them up to the end that is coming for all His people. God does nothing but what He has forewarned His people through His prophets, in the next eighth chapters we will be told exactly what will happen in the Millennium age.

Now lets take a look at the "Sanctuary" of Ezekiel 40, and try to study these chapters with an open mind.
