WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM (Part 2)?

WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM (Part 2)?
After all, the blessings to Jerusalem and the mount Zion will be marvelous and only for the Israelites:

•    Isa 65:18-25 -> “But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”.

Imagine all the people having to go up to Jerusalem to learn Jesus’ ways, laws, teachings, etc., to worship Him from time to time in Jerusalem (and seeing all the glory of Jesus and the paradise wherein Jerusalem was turned in), but without possibility of dwell there (a beautiful place full of joy, peace, love, without any harm).

After all, the time to the non-Israelites trod down Jerusalem for dwelling there will finish in the second coming of Jesus to establish the millennium:

•    Luk 21:24 -> “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”.

In the millennium, the salvific grace of Jesus won’t work. People will live as in the time of the Old Testament, but with one difference: now Jesus is the king reigning through His perfect law, having with ministers the fool virgins of Rev 6:9-11 with glorified body (who was perfectly redeemed). That is to say, all the government will be perfect with righteous laws and faithful ministers. The worship to the Creator will be holy and without any blemish.

However, without the transformation carried out by Jesus’ grace, people only will be able to obey while Jesus is reigning with iron rod (Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15), that is to say, without Ha-Satan to deceive the nations (Rev 20:1-3). 

In other words, even a perfect government won’t be able to satisfy all the hearts. People get outright excited with elections, believing that if a righteous, kind and compassionate government is established, the world would be better. The truth is that, even when this happens, there will be millions (perhaps billions) of people who will try to put it down.

Have a nice day.

Tomorrow we will carry on.

well the thing is the RCC ruled the roman religion and then the Holy roman empire with an iron fist for a thousand years, they became the state religion in 325 ad and continued until their power and influence began to dwindle when the Italian Renaissance was gaining momentum in the 1300's, also the RCC is still a state religion. does that work in your theory?

I assume you mean what is mentioned in Revelation 20. This is an easy one to answer. Since we know there will be babies born in the Millennium, they will obviously not all be saved. Therefore at the end of the 1,000 years when Satan is again released from his prison, he will be allowed to sway the population that didn't yet turn to Jesus. Therefore the rebellion will be all the unsaved in the Millennium against Jesus. But if you read that chapter, the Lord very easily wins that battle. Then we get to enter the eternal state with the New Heaven and New Earth. AMEN!!!!!

Yes. The carnal mind is at enmity with God. It simply hates Him without a cause. During the Millennium our Lord (and His co-kings - Lk.19:17-19) will rule with the rod of iron. The Nations will benefit greatly from the equitous rule on earth, but they will hate the restrictions that the rod of iron brings. Added to this, the Nations will be still in their flesh. They will produce children during the Millennium. The earth's population will multiply exceedingly. Those born during the millennium will never have known Satan and what he can promise (but not deliver). These new additions to the world's population need to be tested. Nothing in God's realm remains untested. A large percentage of them will take the first opportunity to go against God and His rule through Christ.

As you have said, the rebellion is summarily put down. Ezekeil 38 to 39 gives details.
