Millennial Study- November 5th- Now, lets switch gears again and go all the way over to chapter sixty five of Isaiah. We are not skipping ahead because these skipped portions are unimportant, but because they describe events that we have studied several times already in our study of the millennium. They are just repeating things and events that occur and point toward the millennium. We need to get on with our real purpose here and that is showing what life is like in the millennial age. We open by looking at verse seventeen; For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. This is God Himself speaking, and He says that He will create a new heaven and a new earth. He is not saying that He has created it right now but is showing us that this kingdom age, the millennium, is going to be a wonderful place to live and even with all its freedoms of living with out the sin curse, it still has no comparison to the new heavens and the new earth that He will create at the end of the millennial age. Verse seventeen looks beyond the kingdom age to the new heavens and the new earth of Revelation twenty one. God is telling us, just wait and see what glorious things I have for my children in the millennium and then you might have just an inkling of what my new heavens and new earth will be like. Verses eighteen through twenty five , however, give us insight into life in the millennium. Verse eighteen, chapter sixty five of Isaiah: But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. (19) And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. Again, God is giving us a description of what joy and peace and companionship will be in Jerusalem, the place of the throne of the King: King Jesus!! A place of joy and rejoicing, and singing and just making melody in your hearts for all the abundance of beauty and food and glory of living without that old serpent, Satan, to hinder the lives of all those who are a part of this glorious place, The Millennium. If we look back at I Corinthians, two and nine , we see this, But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. So we see that this is a part of what God has created, the millennium, not the new heavens and earth yet, but a preview, of what life in the new Jerusalem will be like. Tomorrow, Lord willing, we will go on into verse twenty to look at some other very important phases of life in this thousand year reign of Christ. Until then, may God bless your life.
