After the coming Battle of Armageddon against the rising Antichrist New World Order is won by Jesus and His Saints , and the poorer nations of the World are spared, finally "the Meek shall inherit the Earth!"  The Meek are the Saints of God, who along with their King Jesus Christ, will take over this World as it now is--this present World--and will organise it and rule it and run it the way it should have been run if man had only yielded to God and His law of Love
| THE GRAND PURPOSE OF HISTORY The Bible says that this amazing period will last for one thousand years and is therefore known as the Millennium, which is Latin for a thousand years. The Scriptures are just full of descriptions of this beautiful Millennial period, and in fact, more is said about it than about the First Coming of Christ!--It says more about the Second Coming of Christ and His rule and reign on the Earth as its King, its Messiah, than it does even about the First Coming! Because this is the purpose of it all! This is the marvellous Happy Ending of it all! Therefore God's Word gives us a very literal, exact description of what it's going to be like under the marvellous rule and personal visible reign of Christ here on Earth, and, as you'll see, it's going to be absolutely wonderful! MANY UNSAVED WILL SURVIVE AND BE SPARED When Jesus returns to Earth for the Battle of Armageddon, there will be a great slaughter and a great destruction, according to the Bible. Nevertheless some are going to live through it!--There will be survivors! During the Millennium, it is these survivors whom we are going to rule and reign over and teach and train, to show how the World should have been run and to be an example to the Universe of what kind of government man could have had if he had only obeyed the Lord. His Word says, "Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection (The Rapture): 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." (Rev.20:6.)
Jesus also promised to His faithful ones, "He that overcomes, and keeps My works unto the End, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron." (Rev.2:26,27.)
So who are these people that His Word says will form whole nations during the Millennium, over whom we, the saved born-again Saints of God, are going to rule with a rod of iron? It's obvious that many of the unsaved people in the world, are going to survive the Wrath of God, the Battle of Armageddon and live on into the Millennium! Granted, either they must be pretty tough or they must live a pretty charmed life or the Lord must be extra merciful to them to allow them to live through all that! Perhaps at Armageddon the very worst ones will be slaughtered in the battle, the absolutely irreparable ones, the reprobates, the totally unchangeable ones, the worst ones of all, those who really worshipped the Devil and the Antichrist, and committed all those horrible crimes! The Lord will set up His Kingdom here on Earth for a thousand years to try to salvage what and who He can. Then the rest of them, those who deserve it and are worthy, will be given another chance, or perhaps their first chance to see the actual Kingdom of God, hear His voice, His laws, His rules and His Words!--To believe, receive, repent and accept Him as their King! THE MEEK CONQUER THE STRONG No longer will reign the cruel selfish, dog-eat-dog philosophy which now gives the world to the strongest and mightiest in which might is right, as it is run today by rebellious, disobedient and perverted man!--But it will be given to those who really have the right to govern because of what today's reprobate man considers weaknesses: Love, meekness, forgiveness and faith in God and His Word! These weakest and meekest will become the most powerful influences on Earth, the most powerful people, who will rule the World with both love and a "rod of iron" of loving force to compel the nations to submit to the laws of God and to recognise His authority and to obey His rules of life, love, health and happiness for a reign of "peace on Earth toward men of good will". Then and only then, under the supreme and powerful rule and reign of Christ and God's children, will all wars finally cease and the World at last be governed fairly and well with true justice, liberty, peace, plenty and happiness for all! Hallelujah! |
