The Kingdom Age, #2

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. (Isaiah 61:5)

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. (Isaiah 60:4)

Throughout the thousand-year Kingdom Age God's elect will remain in the heavenly Jerusalem in the spirit realm except for the warlike remnant who, through entering union with Christ in this present life, have attained the first resurrection from the dead.

During the thousand-year Kingdom Age a great multitude of people will be brought to the Lord.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. (Isaiah 60:5)

And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. (Ezekiel 47:9)

During the thousand-year Kingdom Age the firstfruits of the Church, having received back their bodies from the grave, will be coming to know the Lord in a greater way as they represent Him throughout the earth. The least among them will be as David, in the Presence of the Lord.

In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. (Zechariah 12:8)

During the thousand-year Kingdom Age the remainder of the elect will be strengthened while yet in the spirit realm. It is not unlikely that the warlike remnant, in addition to ruling the nations with a rod of iron, will teach and help the weaker members of Christ's Body until each is strong in the Lord.

Under the new covenant all shall come to know the Lord, from the least to the greatest.

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:11)

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (Ephesians 4:13)

By the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age the entire Wife of the Lamb will be prepared for the Lord, having made herself ready.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)

At the termination of the Kingdom Age the earth and the heaven will flee from the Face of God. It is possible that the adamic race as we know it will pass away with the earth and the heaven.

To be continued.
