Restoring Rulership over Israel.

 

Judgment of the Nations.

After the Lord and His angel army have dealt with the world`s armies, and the anti-Christ and false prophet, He judges the peoples of the nations. Those people who did not look after the Jews during the tribulation will be taken away in judgment. (Matt. 25: 44 & 45  Luke 17: 34 - 37)

`When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another...` (Matt. 25: 31 & 32)

 

Israel, the restored `wife.`

The Lord then sends His angels to the four corners of the earth to bring the Jews back to their own land, Israel. (Isa. 66: 20) While these are coming, the Lord goes into Jerusalem to reveal Himself to the people there. He goes first to the house of Judah, the ruling tribe then to the people of Jerusalem. (Zech. 12: 7 & 10)

There will be great celebrations in Jerusalem as their mourning will turn to joy; the Messiah has come, their `sons and daughters` are coming from afar, and the Gentiles are blessed to see the glory of God over Jerusalem.(Isa. 60)

Finally Israel the forsaken `wife` is reunited with her master/husband, God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The joyful celebrations are the `wedding feast` proclaiming that God is with them. (Isa. 54: 4 - 8   Rev. 19: 7 - 9)

 

Israel`s Rulership.

The Lord then appoints those who will rule under Him, in Israel. Firstly, a man called David will be delegated authority to be a Prince, a king over Israel and the nations of the earth. `(Ez. 37: 24 & 25) Then there will be Levites and priests chosen to teach and judge over the peoples. (Isa. 66: 21) The martyrs will come to life and also rule. (Rev. 20: 4)

The people of the nations will be required to go up to Jerusalem to learn of the ways of the Lord and especially for the Feast of Tabernacles - to worship the King. (Zech. 14: 16)

 

 

Christ and His Angelic Army Return to Heaven.


Finally the Lord and His angelic army will return to the third heaven, the seat of the Lord`s authority and power.

`Oh, clap your hands all you peoples! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and all the nations under our feet. He will choose our inheritance for us....

God has GONE UP with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.` (Ps. 47: 1 - 5)

 Ah so this is the second time that this happens (Zech. 12: 7 & 10). The first time was 1948 then.

Hi mabel,

Do you mean that Israel returned to their land a second time after they were scattered among the nations?

Yes, something like the OT, except this time Israel will be under the Lordship of Christ who will rule through there leadership out to the nations. They were supposed to do that in Old Testament times but they rebelled. This time they receive the Lord as their Messiah and thus fulfil their destiny to rule the nations of the world righteously.

The sacrifices as a physical demonstration of what Jesus did to cleanse the people. It is looking back to the cross while in Old Testament it was looking forward. These are earthly people and thus need earthly lessons and demonstrations.
