Wallace Smith: The Second
Coming of Jesus Christ is the

00:07.607 --> 00:11.444
loudly declared hope of many
people all over the world.

00:11.511 --> 00:13.079
Yet, how many think
of what the world

00:13.146 --> 00:15.982
will be like after his return?

00:16.049 --> 00:19.152
In fact, how many even
understand that there will be a

00:19.219 --> 00:22.655
world here on earth
after his return?

00:22.722 --> 00:26.893
Yet, the Bible gives many
astonishing details concerning

00:26.960 --> 00:30.997
just what that future world
under Jesus Christ will be like.

00:31.064 --> 00:33.299
And in today's
world of sin, concern,

00:33.366 --> 00:37.737
and despair, understanding what
tomorrow's world will bring is a

00:37.804 --> 00:41.941
beautiful source of hope,
confidence, and inspiration.

00:42.008 --> 00:45.178
Join us here on "Tomorrow's
World" as we open the Bible to

00:45.245 --> 00:49.449
look into tomorrow's world, a
time when Christ will be able to

00:49.516 --> 00:53.553
finally say, "Welcome
to the Millennium."

00:53.620 --> 00:55.422

Wallace Smith: Greetings and
welcome to "Tomorrow's World,"

01:03.463 --> 01:06.232
where we help you make
sense of your world

01:06.299 --> 01:08.401
through the pages of the Bible.

01:08.468 --> 01:12.572
The name of our program and our
magazine is "Tomorrow's World"

01:12.639 --> 01:15.508
because Jesus Christ has
commissioned us to preach the

01:15.575 --> 01:21.114
gospel of the kingdom of God and
his promise to bring a new world

01:21.181 --> 01:25.084
under his rulership, doing away
with the sins and corruptions of

01:25.151 --> 01:29.589
today's world and replacing them
with the glorious hope-filled

01:29.656 --> 01:32.459
wonders of tomorrow's world.

01:32.525 --> 01:36.062
That message does include
warnings concerning the world

01:36.129 --> 01:39.966
today, and concerning what
Christ says must take place

01:40.033 --> 01:41.835
between now and then.

01:41.901 --> 01:45.672
But it also includes many
details about tomorrow's world

01:45.738 --> 01:49.976
and the joys that await
mankind when that world arrives.

01:50.043 --> 01:53.313
Today, we're going to discuss
a relative handful of those

01:53.379 --> 01:57.383
details and we pray they will
fill you with hope for a future

01:57.450 --> 02:02.589
and a yearning desire to be a
living part of that world to

02:02.655 --> 02:06.326
come, and possibly a desire
to be part of proclaiming that

02:06.392 --> 02:08.461
message today.

02:08.528 --> 02:11.264
Now, at the beginning of
the biblical book of Acts,

02:11.331 --> 02:16.336
the inspired author, Luke, tells
us of the last moment Jesus's

02:16.402 --> 02:19.272
disciples saw him on earth.

02:19.339 --> 02:23.643
After he had spent 40
days after his resurrection,

02:23.710 --> 02:27.347
teaching them about the
coming kingdom of God.

02:27.413 --> 02:31.684
It says that he then rose out of
their sight and disappeared into

02:31.751 --> 02:36.589
the clouds, at which point, two
angels told them that he would

02:36.656 --> 02:39.359
be returning to this
earth from heaven

02:39.425 --> 02:42.061
in the exact same fashion.

02:42.128 --> 02:45.431
And since then, the church he
founded and those who have

02:45.498 --> 02:50.136
believed his message of the
kingdom of God have longed to

02:50.203 --> 02:52.171
see that day.

02:52.238 --> 02:55.575
But what will
happen after he returns?

02:55.642 --> 02:58.578
After the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ,

02:58.645 --> 03:01.414
what happens next?

03:01.481 --> 03:04.584
As we will see shortly,
the Bible describes the time

03:04.651 --> 03:08.821
following Jesus's return
as a 1000-year period,

03:08.888 --> 03:11.958
in which the
world is transformed.

03:12.025 --> 03:17.397
Because it lasts for 1000 years,
we often call this period the

03:17.463 --> 03:21.901
Millennium and while many may
wonder about the details of that

03:21.968 --> 03:26.940
time, God's Word, in fact,
provides copious details,

03:27.006 --> 03:30.109
prophecies and
descriptions about people

03:30.176 --> 03:32.545
and life during that time.

03:32.612 --> 03:36.583
They're all there waiting to be
read by those who have eyes to

03:36.649 --> 03:39.552
see and a heart to believe.

03:39.619 --> 03:43.890
On the rest of today's program,
we're going to discuss seven

03:43.957 --> 03:47.160
facts about life
in the Millennium,

03:47.226 --> 03:51.364
and it's our hope that this
small preview will help you to

03:51.431 --> 03:56.669
imagine yourself there and
stir your desire to be a part of

03:56.736 --> 04:00.673
helping Jesus
Christ build that world.

04:00.740 --> 04:04.577
The first fact we'll discuss
about the Millennium is that the

04:04.644 --> 04:09.916
world will be ruled by a
divine world government.

04:09.983 --> 04:13.953
While few associate Jesus Christ
with literal world government in

04:14.020 --> 04:17.190
the future, in reality
Jesus's gospel

04:17.256 --> 04:21.094
is very much about government.

04:21.160 --> 04:24.731
Let's turn to Isaiah
chapter 9 and verse 6.

04:24.797 --> 04:28.167
Now, while this
passage is familiar to many,

04:28.234 --> 04:31.871
how many truly
take it seriously?

04:31.938 --> 04:37.543
"For unto us a Child is
born, Unto us a Son is given;

04:37.610 --> 04:41.714
And the government will
be upon His shoulder.

04:41.781 --> 04:44.117
And His name will
be called Wonderful,

04:44.183 --> 04:48.354
Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father,

04:48.421 --> 04:50.556
Prince of Peace.

04:50.623 --> 04:55.061
Of the increase of His
government and peace there will

04:55.128 --> 05:00.667
be no end, Upon the throne of
David and over His kingdom,

05:00.733 --> 05:04.604
To order it and establish it
with judgment and justice from

05:04.671 --> 05:07.774
that time forward, even forever.

05:07.840 --> 05:11.944
The zeal of the LORD of
hosts will perform this."

05:12.011 --> 05:15.682
Jesus Christ is King of kings.

05:15.748 --> 05:19.352
And he is coming back to
literally rule the world.

05:19.419 --> 05:22.588
The Bible describes the
return of Jesus Christ and the

05:22.655 --> 05:26.659
resurrection of his saints at
the end of the age in Revelation

05:26.726 --> 05:31.497
chapter 11 and verse 15: "Then
the seventh angel sounded:

05:31.564 --> 05:33.466
And there were loud
voices in heaven,

05:33.533 --> 05:37.704
saying, 'The kingdoms of this
world have become the kingdoms

05:37.770 --> 05:40.907
of our Lord and of His Christ,

05:40.973 --> 05:45.311
and He shall reign
forever and ever!'"

05:45.378 --> 05:46.746
And this is crucial.

05:46.813 --> 05:49.615
He will not rule alone.

05:49.682 --> 05:53.186
Revelation chapter 20 speaks
of those who have struggled to

05:53.252 --> 05:58.291
overcome sin in this age who
will rule alongside Christ

05:58.357 --> 06:00.193
in that age.

06:00.259 --> 06:04.263
In verse 4, the apostle John
says that in his vision of that

06:04.330 --> 06:09.502
time, he saw thrones and that
those who followed Christ in

06:09.569 --> 06:13.306
this age, now resurrected
and transformed,

06:13.372 --> 06:16.309
were given
judgment and authority.

06:16.375 --> 06:20.613
Verse 6 says: "Blessed and
holy is he who has part

06:20.680 --> 06:22.548
in the first resurrection.

06:22.615 --> 06:26.152
Over such the second
death has no power,

06:26.219 --> 06:29.422
but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ,

06:29.489 --> 06:33.860
and shall reign with
Him a thousand years."

06:33.926 --> 06:37.764
Now note, there is that
mention of 1000 years.

06:37.830 --> 06:41.167
And note too, this
is not a metaphor.

06:41.234 --> 06:45.104
When asked directly by Peter
what he and the rest of the 12

06:45.171 --> 06:49.542
disciples would receive for
leaving everything behind and

06:49.609 --> 06:54.947
following him, Jesus Christ told
him directly: "Assuredly I say

06:55.014 --> 06:57.316
to you, that in
the regeneration,

06:57.383 --> 07:00.920
when the Son of Man sits
on the throne of His glory,

07:00.987 --> 07:05.725
you who have followed Me will
also sit on twelve thrones,

07:05.792 --> 07:09.162
judging the twelve
tribes of Israel."

07:09.228 --> 07:11.564
As many places in
the Bible teach,

07:11.631 --> 07:15.868
in tomorrow's world, those who
have followed Christ today will

07:15.935 --> 07:20.973
have under Christ power and
authority over the nations as

07:21.040 --> 07:23.409
kings and priests with him.

07:23.476 --> 07:27.880
Jesus explains that those who
have loved him and obeyed him in

07:27.947 --> 07:33.319
this life will be resurrected
as full children of God in power

07:33.386 --> 07:36.923
and majesty just
as he is right now.

07:36.989 --> 07:40.726
Those who overcome with Christ
in this age will rule with

07:40.793 --> 07:46.165
Christ in that age, as
glorified sons of the Almighty,

07:46.232 --> 07:50.036
helping to transform this
world with God's laws of love,

07:50.102 --> 07:53.639
mercy, and righteousness.

Wallace Smith: In the
first portion of our program,

09:31.037 --> 09:35.174
we saw that after his return,
Jesus Christ and his glorified

09:35.241 --> 09:39.145
saints are going to establish a
government to eventually reign

09:39.211 --> 09:42.815
over the entire world, beginning
the process of turning this

09:42.882 --> 09:45.918
world into everything
God wants it to be.

09:45.985 --> 09:50.690
Yet, a key task awaits Jesus
Christ before his rulership of

09:50.756 --> 09:52.658
the world begins in earnest.

09:52.725 --> 09:56.495
Before the new ruler of this
world can begin his transforming

09:56.562 --> 10:01.734
work, the old ruler of the
world must be dealt with.

10:01.801 --> 10:04.136
In today's free offer,
"The World Ahead:

10:04.203 --> 10:05.571
What Will It Be Like?"

10:05.638 --> 10:09.542
author and evangelist Roderick
C. Meredith explains:

10:09.608 --> 10:12.111
"However, during
this present age,

10:12.178 --> 10:16.182
Satan the devil is
'broadcasting' wrong attitudes

10:16.248 --> 10:20.653
and he influences people to
take wrong actions continually.

10:20.720 --> 10:24.657
The Apostle Paul reminded the
Christians of Ephesus that they

10:24.724 --> 10:28.327
had 'once walked according
to the course of this world,

10:28.394 --> 10:31.497
according to the prince
of the power of the air,

10:31.564 --> 10:35.835
the spirit who now works in
the sons of disobedience.'

10:35.901 --> 10:38.371
So, Satan the devil is busy.

10:38.437 --> 10:42.908
He 'works' continually--turning
mankind away

10:42.975 --> 10:45.244
from God and God's true ways.

10:45.311 --> 10:50.316
He is the source of much of the
suffering and evil--the wars,

10:50.383 --> 10:54.253
rapes, tortures, and various
other abominations--

10:54.320 --> 10:57.056
occurring in today's world."

10:57.123 --> 11:01.594
How can tomorrow's world become
all God would have it to be

11:01.660 --> 11:04.797
while the great deceiver
and corruptor of mankind,

11:04.864 --> 11:08.734
the devil, is allowed to
continue operating on the minds

11:08.801 --> 11:10.803
and hearts of mankind?

11:10.870 --> 11:12.338
It can't.

11:12.405 --> 11:15.741
This leads us to the second fact
about life in the Millennium.

11:15.808 --> 11:19.712
Immediately after his
return, Christ will oversee the

11:19.779 --> 11:22.915
banishment of Satan the devil.

11:22.982 --> 11:27.787
In vision, the apostle John saw
this glorious event take place

11:27.853 --> 11:30.089
immediately upon Jesus's return.

11:30.156 --> 11:33.392
He recorded what he
saw in Revelation 20,

11:33.459 --> 11:38.030
beginning in verse 1: "Then I
saw an angel coming down from

11:38.097 --> 11:42.301
heaven, having the key to the
bottomless pit and a great chain

11:42.368 --> 11:43.836
in his hand.

11:43.903 --> 11:46.939
He laid hold of the
dragon, that serpent of old,

11:47.006 --> 11:51.744
who is the Devil and Satan, and
bound him for a thousand years;

11:51.811 --> 11:53.979
and he cast him into
the bottomless pit,

11:54.046 --> 11:57.450
and shut him up, and
set a seal on him,

11:57.516 --> 12:01.153
so that he should deceive
the nations no more till the

12:01.220 --> 12:03.489
thousand years were finished."

12:03.556 --> 12:06.192
Yes, the great
deceiver of mankind,

12:06.258 --> 12:09.962
the serpent of old, whom the
Bible calls "the ruler or god of

12:10.029 --> 12:14.066
this world," will be
removed for a thousand years,

12:14.133 --> 12:18.304
unable to influence humanity
in his ways of competition,

12:18.370 --> 12:23.342
envy, strife, hatred,
lust, and brutality.

12:23.409 --> 12:28.080
Can you imagine what will become
possible on earth over the

12:28.147 --> 12:31.951
course of the next 1000
years with Jesus Christ himself

12:32.017 --> 12:36.489
reigning and ruling in the
affairs of men from Jerusalem,

12:36.555 --> 12:40.526
with his glorified brothers and
sisters aiding him in the family

12:40.593 --> 12:45.097
of God, ruling the kingdom of
God and with the influence of

12:45.164 --> 12:49.969
Satan the devil completely
removed from this world?

12:50.035 --> 12:53.005
For those who have lived through
the great Tribulation and the

12:53.072 --> 12:54.874
calamities at the
end of this age,

12:54.940 --> 13:00.045
on into this glorious time, what
sorts of things will they see?

13:00.112 --> 13:03.449
What sort of world will
be created around them?

13:03.516 --> 13:06.418
We begin to see the
possibilities when we consider

13:06.485 --> 13:09.388
the next fact about
life in the Millennium.

13:09.455 --> 13:13.859
With Satan banished, the world
will see God's laws and way of

13:13.926 --> 13:19.465
life taught to all
humanity for 1000 years.

13:19.532 --> 13:23.135
That teaching will
begin in Jerusalem.

13:23.202 --> 13:25.638
We see this in many
places in Scripture,

13:25.704 --> 13:30.876
including here in Isaiah chapter
2 and verse 3: "Many people

13:30.943 --> 13:34.747
shall come and say, 'Come, and
let us go up to the mountain of

13:34.813 --> 13:38.217
the LORD, To the house
of the God of Jacob;

13:38.284 --> 13:43.656
He will teach us His ways, And
we shall walk in His paths.'

13:43.722 --> 13:46.959
For out of Zion shall
go forth the law,

13:47.026 --> 13:50.663
And the word of the
LORD from Jerusalem."

13:50.729 --> 13:53.165
With the clouds of the
devil's deceptions gone,

13:53.232 --> 13:57.369
and seeing the fruit of
the way of life God offers,

13:57.436 --> 14:01.473
people will hunger for the laws
and principles of righteousness

14:01.540 --> 14:05.110
that Jesus Christ and his
glorified saints will be ready

14:05.177 --> 14:06.779
to teach.

14:06.845 --> 14:10.649
Look at this moving description
in Zechariah chapter 8,

14:10.716 --> 14:15.387
and imagine this being said in
today's world in which so many

14:15.454 --> 14:19.658
seem so antagonistic
against the nation of Israel.

14:19.725 --> 14:24.129
"'Thus says the Lord of hosts:
"In those days ten men from

14:24.196 --> 14:27.866
every language of the nations
shall grasp the sleeve of a

14:27.933 --> 14:31.136
Jewish man, saying,
'Let us go with you,

14:31.203 --> 14:33.906
for we have heard that
God is with you.'"'"

14:33.973 --> 14:36.875
In today's world,
not gonna happen.

14:36.942 --> 14:39.945
But in tomorrow's world
during the Millennium,

14:40.012 --> 14:42.047
every nation in the world

14:42.114 --> 14:45.985
will want the true
biblical laws of God.

14:46.051 --> 14:49.688
And the glorified saints
themselves will have a role in

14:49.755 --> 14:51.423
teaching those laws.

14:51.490 --> 14:56.528
Chapter 30 of Isaiah gives us an
intriguing peak into that world,

14:56.595 --> 15:00.666
where true Christians now
glorified like their Savior and

15:00.733 --> 15:05.204
empowered, will help serve those
in the Millennium seeking to

15:05.271 --> 15:06.939
live God's ways.

15:07.006 --> 15:10.676
Beginning in verse 20: "And
though the Lord gives you the

15:10.743 --> 15:14.046
bread of adversity and
the water of affliction,

15:14.113 --> 15:18.317
Yet your teachers will not be
moved into a corner anymore,

15:18.384 --> 15:21.153
But your eyes shall
see your teachers.

15:21.220 --> 15:23.489
Your ears shall hear
a word behind you,

15:23.555 --> 15:28.594
saying, 'This is the way, walk
in it,' Whenever you turn to the

15:28.661 --> 15:31.530
right hand or whenever
you turn to the left."

15:31.597 --> 15:34.667
The servants of Christ
will be working with people,

15:34.733 --> 15:37.803
teaching them, helping them
understand God's way

15:37.870 --> 15:40.439
and live it every day.

15:40.506 --> 15:45.311
As a result, Isaiah 11 and verse
9 says: "The earth shall be full

15:45.377 --> 15:50.115
of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea."

15:50.182 --> 15:53.385
And where the law of God goes
and hearts are willing to keep

15:53.452 --> 15:59.591
it, beautiful things follow, as
we'll see in our next segment.

15:59.658 --> 16:02.127
Wallace Smith: But first, let
me give you another opportunity

16:02.194 --> 16:06.131
to request our special offer
this week: "The World Ahead:

16:06.198 --> 16:08.000
What Will It Be Like?"

16:08.067 --> 16:09.868
Written by the late
evangelist, Roderick C.

16:09.935 --> 16:13.005
Meredith who preached the gospel
of the kingdom of God to the

16:13.072 --> 16:18.010
world for over 60 years, this
free booklet will point you to

16:18.077 --> 16:21.513
so many verses in your Bible
that you have probably never

16:21.580 --> 16:24.516
seen before, verses that
will bring the Millennium

16:24.583 --> 16:27.953
to life in your life.

16:28.020 --> 16:30.456
Don't wait and risk

16:34.693 --> 16:38.364
what prophecy says happens
when a world is truly willing to

16:38.430 --> 16:41.867
follow its Creator
for a thousand years.

16:41.934 --> 16:44.370
announcer: This clear and
straightforward resource will

16:44.436 --> 16:46.872
help you understand
this vital truth,

16:46.939 --> 16:50.008
straight from the
pages of the Bible.

16:50.075 --> 16:56.815
Call now or go to
TWTV.org/Ahead.

16:56.882 --> 16:58.150
Wallace Smith: Welcome back.

16:58.217 --> 17:01.019
In our last segment, we
described some of the changes

17:01.086 --> 17:04.423
that will take place at the
foundation of the Millennium in

17:04.490 --> 17:07.893
tomorrow's world: the setting up
of a divine government and the

17:07.960 --> 17:09.928
banishment of Satan the devil.

17:09.995 --> 17:13.866
And we noted that God's laws
and way of life will begin to be

17:13.932 --> 17:16.001
taught to all mankind.

17:16.068 --> 17:18.637
With these new
foundations in place,

17:18.704 --> 17:22.574
in the Millennium, what sort
of world will Christ build?

17:22.641 --> 17:26.745
In today's world, the terrors
and brutality of war have left

17:26.812 --> 17:31.150
many lame, crippled, and broken,
and the degeneration of our

17:31.216 --> 17:35.621
bodies in this sinful world and
our ignorance of God's laws of

17:35.687 --> 17:38.424
health have brought
disease, illness,

17:38.490 --> 17:40.826
and calamity to the human race.

17:40.893 --> 17:42.795
But Christ and his
glorified family

17:42.861 --> 17:45.931
will bring an end
to such suffering.

17:45.998 --> 17:49.635
For instance, in the Millennium
there will finally be global

17:49.701 --> 17:52.571
peace for all nations.

17:52.638 --> 17:55.841
The great statue at the United
Nations of a man beating his

17:55.908 --> 17:59.711
sword into a plowshare as
described in Isaiah 2 and verse

17:59.778 --> 18:04.650
4, will no longer be a symbol
of man's impotence at achieving

18:04.716 --> 18:09.588
real peace, because the
King of kings will make it so.

18:09.655 --> 18:13.525
Let's read that passage, but
let's begin with what we read

18:13.592 --> 18:18.430
earlier in verse 3: "Many
people shall come and say,

18:18.497 --> 18:21.066
'Come, and let us go up to
the mountain of the LORD,

18:21.133 --> 18:23.068
To the house of
the God of Jacob;

18:23.135 --> 18:27.272
He will teach us His ways, and
we shall walk in His paths.'

18:27.339 --> 18:30.075
For out of Zion shall
go forth the law,

18:30.142 --> 18:32.845
And the word of the
LORD from Jerusalem.

18:32.911 --> 18:35.380
He shall judge
between the nations,

18:35.447 --> 18:39.852
And rebuke many people; They
shall beat their swords into

18:39.918 --> 18:44.089
plowshares, And their
spears into pruning hooks;

18:44.156 --> 18:47.226
Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation,

18:47.292 --> 18:50.496
Neither shall they
learn war anymore."

18:50.562 --> 18:55.400
This world will no longer
ultimately be run by impotent,

18:55.467 --> 19:00.072
inept, and corrupt governments,
incapable of producing the peace

19:00.138 --> 19:03.909
they preach, but it will be
run by the ever-living one,

19:03.976 --> 19:08.313
the Creator of heaven and earth,
who will enforce his laws in

19:08.380 --> 19:14.219
this world in a way no human can
and with a wisdom no human has.

19:14.286 --> 19:17.422
And more than
bringing an end to war,

19:17.489 --> 19:19.958
he shall teach peace.

19:20.025 --> 19:23.595
Our nations and peoples war
because they do not know the way

19:23.662 --> 19:28.066
of peace, yet Luke 1:79
proclaims that Christ will "give

19:28.133 --> 19:32.170
light to those who sit in
darkness," and will "guide our

19:32.237 --> 19:35.474
feet into the way of peace."

19:35.541 --> 19:39.845
In addition, the Millennium
will see an end to widespread

19:39.912 --> 19:42.848
sickness and disease.

19:42.915 --> 19:46.385
Turn a few chapters over to
the beautiful verses of Isaiah

19:46.451 --> 19:48.420
chapter 35.

19:48.487 --> 19:52.691
We read there of this time to
come: "Then the eyes of the

19:52.758 --> 19:54.560
blind shall be opened,

19:54.626 --> 19:57.729
And the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped.

19:57.796 --> 20:00.465
Then the lame shall
leap like a deer,

20:00.532 --> 20:03.468
And the tongue of
the dumb sing."

20:03.535 --> 20:06.171
Imagine a world with
no more blindness,

20:06.238 --> 20:09.107
no more disease,
no more suffering.

20:09.174 --> 20:12.611
Not only will divine and
miraculous healing be available

20:12.678 --> 20:17.249
to the sick, but the very
designer of life and health will

20:17.316 --> 20:21.520
teach the laws of life and
health to a world finally open

20:21.587 --> 20:23.956
to learning those laws.

20:24.022 --> 20:25.290
But Scripture says
that Jesus Christ

20:25.357 --> 20:27.893
will do more than heal people.

20:27.960 --> 20:32.598
He will heal the land and teach
the peoples of earth how to farm

20:32.664 --> 20:36.735
the land and care for the earth
as only the Creator of that

20:36.802 --> 20:38.370
earth could know.

20:38.437 --> 20:43.609
As a result, the Millennium will
see a restored and beautiful

20:43.675 --> 20:46.612
planet for all to enjoy.

20:46.678 --> 20:50.382
We read of the healing of the
land in Isaiah 35 which we read

20:50.449 --> 20:54.586
from earlier: "The wilderness
and the wasteland shall be glad

20:54.653 --> 20:59.891
for them, And the desert shall
rejoice and blossom as the rose;

20:59.958 --> 21:03.028
For waters shall burst
forth in the wilderness,

21:03.095 --> 21:05.664
And streams in the desert.

21:05.731 --> 21:08.133
The parched ground
shall become a pool,

21:08.200 --> 21:12.037
And the thirsty land
springs of water."

21:12.104 --> 21:14.940
In such a restored
and vibrant land,

21:15.007 --> 21:19.444
crops will be abundant,
food will be overflowing.

21:19.511 --> 21:24.683
Amos 9 and verse 13 describes
this wonderful aspect of that

21:24.750 --> 21:28.987
time in beautiful terms:
"'Behold, the days are coming,'

21:29.054 --> 21:30.422
says the LORD,

21:30.489 --> 21:33.392
'When the plowman
shall overtake the reaper,

21:33.458 --> 21:37.095
And the treader of
grapes him who sows the seed;

21:37.162 --> 21:40.298
The mountains shall
drip with sweet wine,

21:40.365 --> 21:43.468
And all the hills
shall flow with it.'"

21:43.535 --> 21:48.140
In a world where there is true
peace, real solutions for

21:48.206 --> 21:52.644
disease, and a restored
and beautiful planet,

21:52.711 --> 21:56.048
want for food and lack of
necessities shall become a thing

21:56.114 --> 21:57.783
of the past.

21:57.849 --> 22:01.720
Over 1000 years, they will
become increasingly distant

22:01.787 --> 22:06.491
memories of a world long gone,
replaced by new memories of a

22:06.558 --> 22:09.294
world the way God
wants it to be,

22:09.361 --> 22:13.899
a world ruled and
cared for by Jesus Christ,

22:13.965 --> 22:16.802
the Son of God.

22:16.868 --> 22:20.172
My friends, what the Bible says
about the amazing world Christ

22:20.238 --> 22:23.709
will create after he
returns, is like a deep,

22:23.775 --> 22:27.479
deep well, and we're only
cupping our hands to drink from

22:27.546 --> 22:29.214
its surface.

22:29.281 --> 22:32.651
In this last brief break, please
take the time to request our

22:32.718 --> 22:36.722

And begin the process of
plumbing the depths of the

22:40.058 --> 22:43.962
Bible's astonishing truths
about that world to come.

22:44.029 --> 22:47.065
How will that world and the
kingdom of God be structured?

22:47.132 --> 22:49.768
What will families
and marriages be like?

22:49.835 --> 22:51.870
Who will live in that time?

22:51.937 --> 22:54.940
What can we do now
to prepare for it?

24:09.948 --> 24:12.217
Wallace Smith: So far, we've
seen that the Millennium will

24:12.284 --> 24:14.920
feature a divine
world government,

24:14.986 --> 24:18.456
and it will begin with the
banishment of Satan the devil.

24:18.523 --> 24:21.593
During that time, God's laws and
way of life will be taught to

24:21.660 --> 24:23.395
all humanity.

24:23.461 --> 24:27.566
This will help bring global
peace for all nations as well as

24:27.632 --> 24:32.204
bringing an end to widespread
sickness and disease and bring a

24:32.270 --> 24:35.273
restored and beautified planet.

24:35.340 --> 24:39.211
And finally, Jesus Christ
will bring the restoration

24:39.277 --> 24:41.513
of biblical worship.

24:41.580 --> 24:44.783
After all, the new leader of
the world will not be merely a

24:44.850 --> 24:49.788
president or prime minister
or even merely a human king.

24:49.855 --> 24:54.092
He will be the living Creator
and he will restore true faith

24:54.159 --> 24:59.698
in God and true biblical worship
practices to the whole earth.

24:59.764 --> 25:04.002
For instance, Isaiah 66
and verse 23 speaks of the

25:04.069 --> 25:07.639
Millennium and says that
"'from one New Moon to another,

25:07.706 --> 25:12.644
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship

25:12.711 --> 25:15.614
before Me,' says the LORD."

25:15.680 --> 25:21.853
Similarly, Zechariah 14 and
verse 16 clearly says: "It shall

25:21.920 --> 25:26.958
come to pass that everyone who
is left of all the nations which

25:27.025 --> 25:31.663
came against Jerusalem shall go
up from year to year to worship

25:31.730 --> 25:34.232
the King, the LORD of hosts,

25:34.299 --> 25:37.769
and to keep the Feast
of Tabernacles."

25:37.836 --> 25:42.040
Yes, mankind will no
longer wander in ignorance,

25:42.107 --> 25:45.677
inventing his own
religions and worship practices.

25:45.744 --> 25:50.715
In the Millennium, the entire
world will finally be turned to

25:50.782 --> 25:56.087
worship the true God of the
Bible and his glorious Son who

25:56.154 --> 25:58.390
will be reigning in Jerusalem.

25:58.456 --> 26:02.260
Of course, the Millennium is
not the end of God's plan.

26:02.327 --> 26:06.564
There is more, much
more, beyond the Millennium.

26:06.631 --> 26:10.468
And the Bible discusses details
about that time as well from the

26:10.535 --> 26:13.605
Millennium on into eternity.

26:13.672 --> 26:17.108
But that discussion will have
to be for another time since our

26:17.175 --> 26:19.811
time is just about up.

26:19.878 --> 26:21.146
Wallace Smith:
But before we go,

26:21.212 --> 26:24.716
let me say that you don't have
to wait until the Millennium

26:24.783 --> 26:29.087
arrives to begin living
according to the principles that

26:29.154 --> 26:31.623
will make it everything it is.

26:31.690 --> 26:37.329
You can live according to those
principles right now and begin
