Lesson 47, p67.
Theme: The 1,000 years.
Reading Text: Rev. 20:1-15
Memory Verse:
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Rev. 20:4
Introduction
The 1,000 years are often referred to as the millennium. This could be a literal time period which initiates Christ's second coming reign. This reign occurs before the final removal of Satan. That is to say that the first resurrection will occur after Satan has been set aside (v23).
The resurrection here is that of believers who'll then reign with Christ on Earth for a period of 1,000 years.
The second resurrection occurs at the end of this millennium in order to judge unbelievers who have died.
Gog and Magog symbolizes all the forces of evil who bond together to battle God.
The outcome of the battle here is not in doubt during the eat of the conflict.
There is no contest here. Two forces of evil, the beast and Satan, unit to fight battle against God.
The evil beast and his forces are captured and thrown into the lake of fire, and first from God consumes Satan and his armies.
Death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire🔥is the ultimate destination of every thing wicked - Satan, the beast, the false prophets, the demons, hell and all those whose names are not recorded in the book of Life because they did not place there faith in Jesus Christ.
Questions:
1. Why is the second death spiritual?
2. What is contained in the book of Life?
Aim of the Study:
If by faith we have not identified with Christ, confessing Him as Lord, there is no hope, no second chance, no appeal.
Message:
Be a member of the millennium glory.
