JESUS - On earth in the Millennium? Questions to consider.

[Marilyn C]

I have noticed that some people have been taught that `Jesus is on earth in the Millennium.` I wonder if people have really thought this through. Thus I am putting forth these questions for people to consider.

Now you may well ask, “Does it really matter if we think that Jesus is on earth or in heaven in the Millennium?”

I believe it is of the utmost importance as it strikes at the very heart of the pre-eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do we bring Him down to our level (in our minds) or do we exalt Him to the highest place?

So here are some questions that may help you consider where you believe that the Lord Jesus is, in the Millennium.

1. Why does Jesus rule physically on the earth since He has been given the authority `far above all,` in this age & the one to come? (Eph. 1: 20 – 22)

    

2. Why would the Lord rule from His `footstool`& not from His eternal throne? (Isa. 66: 1)

    

3. Why would the Lord leave His eternal throne, His seat of power in the highest heavens, leave His position as King of Heaven & rule from earth? (Dan. 4: 37)

    

4. Why would the Lord rule over the universe, angelic hosts & the glorious realms above from this speck of dust? (Ps. 68: 17)

    

5. Why would the Lord rule from this physical earth with all its frailties, when He has a glorious body made for the realms above? (Rev. 1: 13 – 18)

    

6. Why would sickness, death & rebellion etc exist on this earth if the Lord was here in person? (Isa. 65: 20   Zech. 14: 17 – 19)

    

7. Why would the Lord at the end of the Millennium be physically in Jerusalem, surrounded by Satan & the world`s armies? (Rev. 20: 7 – 9)

    

These & many more questions need to be looked at concerning this `teaching` of `Jesus on earth in the Millennium. Have you ever considered these questions? I hope you do.

Because this is His most favorite place in all the universe.And at the end of the mil the full Godhead shall be here as well.

And more than that,is because He said He would.

Do you think He leaves after the below verse?

Zechariah 14:4 "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."

Look what happened when Christ departed?  Wolves came in, and his kingdom became corrupted.   Christ is coming back to clean out of his kingdom all things that offend.  After this he will establish his kingdom on the earth because this is where the action is happening. Not up there, but down here, for those in the flesh.  This is the "first dominion" of Christ.  Christ is put in charge here to rule and convert Israel, and all the other surviving gentiles.

I can see what you are saying however, where does it say that Christ will physically be here ruling.  Well there's a few scriptures here and there that give it away.

 

Psalms 135:21   Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Isaiah 24:23   Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

Isaiah 40:9   O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

 Isaiah 62:7   And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

 Isaiah 66:13   As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Aren't you posing a false dichotomy? Why can't Jesus rule from both realms, heaven (over the risen Church) and earth (over Israel and the nations)?

Ever since his resurrection, he has been able to come and go from earth as he chooses. No reason to think it will be any different in the Millennium.

Because one of the reasons that people give to GOD that we are so sinful is because HE left us alone here on Earth under the influence of Satan. Well, with Satan in the Abyss and Christ ruling here on Earth with an iron fist; and only redeemed people (although in their natural state) living on Earth at the beginning of the Millennium, at the end of that 1000 years and Satan being free again on Earth, there will be enough people (millions) for Satan to raise an army to oppose Christ. It is to show that there is no situation, without the Blood of Jesus Christ, that man can exist without rebelling (because of our sin nature.)

That might be a reason people give to GOD,

but it's a lie from satan deceiving them.

Jesus clearly PROMISED HIS DISCIPLES HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE THEM NOR DESERT THEM EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD.

and HE KEPT HIS PROMISE SO FAR.  HE WILL ALWAYS.

Hebrews 13:5Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁵ Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have;

for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] 

desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless],

 nor will I forsake 

or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”

Revelation 20:6   Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 

Isaiah 30:20   And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

I think that you are missing the point. Not everyone is saved, ya know? My response concerned mankind generally, and the argument that GOD is not just and that it "is not our fault" but Satan's that we sin. The Millennial period is to demonstrate to mankind that there is no way that we can live sin free without the Blood of Christ to take away the sins of Man, thus further demonstrating the unmatched Mercy and Love of GOD. Phew!

many worries there/here on earth((under Satan)) TODAY, yes, - even here - everywhere, most are doomed to destruction.

only point I had was Yahshua did not leave His disciples orphans, and does not leave us((whoever calls on Him)) alone today, 

even though all the world rejects Him, even religious people, under the influence/control of Satan.

Yahweh guards, keeps, protects and saves us TODAY from the influence and power of Satan and sin and the world -

but most people here and everywhere are still believing many lies.
