Question: After the resurrection of believers at the coming of the Son of Man (Mat 24:30-31, Luke 17:26-30), after the judgment of Christ in heaven (Mat. 16:27; 25:31-46, 7:21-23, 2 Cor. 5:10-11), after her marriage to the Lamb of God (Rev. 19:7), when exactly will Bride descend within a new heaven to a new earth? Will the Lamb of God return with His new Bride at the BEGINNING of their 1000 year Reign over the Nations or at THE END? Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. (Rev. 20:6) She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. (Rev. 12:5) When the Word of God appears with His armies of angels to war against the Beast and his armies at the supper of the great God, Armageddon, the world will be demolished. (Rev 19:11-21; 16:1-21) The cities have fallen, the oceans, rivers and lakes are infected, all following the Beast will have loathsome sores. Clearly, the Lamb of God and His bride will not rule over a devastated earth for a 1000 years, will they? Didn’t the prophet Ezekiel prophesy a desolate earth would become like the Garden of Eden? “So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the Garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken it, and I will do it.” (Ezek. 36:35-36) At the end of the millennium (1000 years) the inhabitants of earth will be killed by fire from heaven. (Rev 20:7-9) There are no more humans alive. This is why physical death and Hades are cast into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment (Rev. 20:11-15) This proves for the Lamb of God and His bride to rule over the nations, their rule must come at the beginning of the 1000 years not at the end. Yet, such popular prophecy teachers as Jack Van Impe, Grant Jefferies, Hal Lindsey, Perry Stone, John Hagee, Chuck Missler, David Regan, David Jeremiah, all falsely teach the Bride returns twice from heaven, once at Armageddon (Rev 19:11-21) and again after the millennium ends! (Rev 21:9-10) I ask you, how can the Bride of Christ descend from heaven twice? And if the Bride descends inside a new heaven to a new earth at the end of the millennium, like most prophecy teachers insist, then that would mean the Bride would remain heaven separated from her Groom for the entire 1000 years. Saints, after being taught by fivefold ministers (Eph. 4:11) concerning the timing of the events of our Lords 2nd coming may we trust in the witness from our precious Holy Spirit (1 John 2:26-28) Prophecy Teacher/Author of Til Eternity Paul Lawrence Bortolazzo
