One of the main problems Premillennialism has is that it has a glorified Jesus bringing back all the redeemed of all the ages that have enjoyed perfect communion with Christ in His majestic heavenly presence since the time He defeated sin and death 2000 years ago, giving them new eternal incorruptible bodies at His second coming, along with the living in Christ, rewarding them with eternal bliss, and then bringing them back to a corruptible millennial earth filled with degenerates, death, decay and depravity, just like our present day. It is just another re-run of our current evil age.
Premillennialism has saints that have been delivered from a sinful world thousands of years ago being forced to come back to watch the folly of the rebuilding of a new temple, the debacle of futile animal sacrifices, the restoration of the old covenant priesthood, continued sin, death and decay. Finally, the saints will have to engage in literal physical spiritual warfare in their glorified bodies with Satan and his global mortal army – Gog and Magog. They will be confronted with the awful sight of Satan being released from his prison to mobilize a global assault upon Jesus and the glorified saints in earthly Jerusalem. This army will consist of all the millennial mortals that have feigned worship to the Lord Jesus Christ for a thousand years turning in their billions at the drop of a hat from following Jesus to following Satan as the sand of the sea.
This whole portrayal is ridiculous and nonsensical, and will never happen.
In a nut shell ...
You paint a CORRUPT scenario, then call it AN OTHERS ridiculous belief.
The 1,000 year Earthly reign of Christ is NOT filled with CORRUPTION!
Christ’s 1,000 year reign IS:
Christ reigning KING of His Land, His Kingdom, His Saints...
Christ reigning KING over World mortal kings of Mortal kingdoms, Mortal men, Mortal occupied lands/nations.
Certainly there IS DEATH occurring in Mortal kingdoms/nations.
Nothing NEW, God expressly requires the Natural Life (Bodily BLOOD) of Natural Mortal Body’s of men MUST DIE. (Gen 9:5)
You have to FIRST know and understand...
HOW The earth, and it’s inhabitants BECAME filled with CORRUPTION.
THE HOW, was the caused BY SATANS power and ability and desire and PRESENCE ON THE EARTH TO:
Influence the Nations (ie inhabitants, ie manKind) AGAINST God.
SECONDLY you have to know and understand...
* The millennial reign of Christ, IS 1,000 years of His Saints, occupying Christ’s Kingdom (ie the land mass of Abraham’s Promised Land)...
* Christ occupying the Everlasting Throne God established (ie king David’s Throne in Jerusalem)...
* Mortal men establishing, occupying, reproducing, ruling, their own kingdoms (ie Nations).
* THE INFLUENCE of CHRIST and GOD’S WORD...is the ONLY world wide Spiritual INFLUENCE.
* Satan and his own band of fallen angels ARE REMOVED from the face of the earth.
* THE INFLUENCE of Satan IS NON EXISTENT on the face of the whole world.
THIRDLY you have to personally decide to believe the EFFECTS of A whole world, With ONLY Gods Word being the World wide Spiritual INFLUENCE, in the ears of Mortal men.
You are grossly mistaken, if you conclude, or think and speak on behalf of others that they HAVE concluded...THAT Christ’s Millennial Reign IS 1,000 years of CORRUPTION. <—> THAT IS FALSE!
It IS IN FACT, 1,000 years of PEACE among and between individual MORTAL Kingdoms (ie Nations).
FORTH-LY ...
* AFTER the 1,000 years have expired (been fulfilled, accomplished)
* THEN is Satan and his band of fallen angels ALLOWED access to the face of the EARTH............TO AGAIN INFLUENCE the “mortal kings..and their kingdoms / nations, ie mortal men”.......AGAINST God.
Nothing NEW...mortal kings raise armies....by, through, of; citizens of their nations, enticements, lies, deceptions, fears, threats, forcing, ordering citizens participation .........
AND Satan’s INFLUENCE, Advocation, Encouragement, ??
RELEASED from confinement and AGAIN PRESENT ON the face of the Earth to INFLUENCE mortal nations TO ATTACK AGAINST Christ’s Kingdom...
Something NEW...a QUICK DEFEAT of mortal EARTHLY nations, ie PEOPLE.
HOW...? (Bigger guns, weapons, poisons, etc.). NOPE!
HOW...? Gods WORD!
Something FOLLOWING...Spiritual Warfare ABOVE the Earth, a QUICK DEFEAT of spiritual demons, by spiritual holy angels.
THEREAFTER...Judgement, Accountability of every man who has ever been naturally born, Books of Evidence opened, Sentencing of the Divided WITH and WITHOUT God Separated....
THEN ... the whole earth Renewed, the New Jerusalem sent down from Heaven...Heaven opened up...as it is IN Heaven, so shall it be ON Earth.
Only occupants of the Face of the Earth ARE transformed faithful immortals, holy servant angels of God and the Lord God Almighty Visibly WITH “THEM”.
FOREVER. Paradise in Heaven and on Earth.
Prophecy fulfilled..accomplished...called DONE.
Rev.21
[6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.You have to begin with ONE thing IN MIND.........God IS JUST.
Gods express Knowledge is revealed, distributed world wide and Every conceivable option is GIVEN manKIND, FOR manKIND to MAKE informed decisions regarding what individual men FREELY CHOOSE to believe, follow, reject....and the consequences thereof per every man’s CHOICES expressly revealed.
With Gods influences, With Satan’s influences, With wicked mens influences...
Every man can FREELY choose, what they will TRUST and follow.
Every man SHALL individually RECEIVE the consequences for their own choices.
Nothing new...men make their Choices Known...God SHALL make sure EVERY mans Choice is fulfilled, accomplished, DONE.
Christ’s 1,000 year reign IS NOT a 1,000 years of Corruption.
