The Future of Israel and Final Victory

Hello, I'm Gary Stearman. Welcome to Prophecy Watchers. We have today a very special guest for you. I've known him for quite a while. His name is Nathan Jones, Nathan ood to see you.. It's an honor to be on back on your program, sir. And you come bringing something that we're going to be talking about. It's called comoming millennial kingdom. It's a great book. Nathan Jones You've got the neck. You are a good writer. Well, Praise, I had to lay the foundation of why a millennial kingdom, and I think that's kind of a little bit of academic, But once you get into about what our lives will be like living in that kingdom I think most Christians don't understand that. that our lives isn't just to stay in heaven forever, but there is a kingdom that Christ will establish on this earth and He promised that we will rule and reign with Him. So we have at least a thousand years of history ahead of us if you're saved to learn about what it's going to be like living in that kingdom. And that was so exciting to share with you. And we have a few thousand years behind us that form a precedent for what's going to happen in the kingdom. Absolutely. The kingdom is sort of takes a lot of loose ends and puts them together And you you have, I think really hit that that point. Well praise the Lord. I think it would most people don't realize is that there is a kingdom that's coming Because based on second Samuel seven, God made a promise to King David. He said this. He said, I will set up your seed after you And I will establish the throne of his, the Messiah's kingdom forever, second Samuel seven We call this the Davidic coovenant. It's a promise that one day as descendant of King David, which we know is Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will rule and reign on this earth literally for a thousand years and then on into eternity And most Christians, they kind of get caught up into different aspects of what we call the kingdom of Christ We' all agree that Christ has a spiritual kingdom, which is not of this earth There's also a providential kingdom where God reigns supreme. But we know the third aspect or the third fold is that there'll be an ecclesiastical kingdom and a fancy word for the church age, where Jesus Christ will rule and reign through the church. And Gary, this is where a lot of Christians kind of park And they stop and they forget that there's a Davidic aspect, a fourthfld, where Jesus Christ will physically rule and reign on this earth for a thousand years and then on into eternity. And that's what the millennial kingdom is all about. And that's what I was struck by the fact that There are so many, I guess you could call them loose ends when you go through the Old Testament on into the New Testament Things happen. then they don't come to complete conclusions. But then when you get into narratives about the Kingdom age Suddenly, you discover, well, all of this is going to fold together and be concluded in the kingdom era, and you really, I think I've done a good job on that. I was kind of struck with this problem. It's called the probleblem of evil as it relates to failed human government. Listen to one of the saddest verses in the Bible, Gary. It's Micah seven three Printince as for gifts The judge seeks a bribe and the great man utters his evil desire. And so they scheme together And so what really kind of burden my heart is is humanity going to forever have to endure living under failed, flawed human government because goovernment is failed and flawed because we're fallen humans. We're sinful humans. And as long as we're sinful, our governments are going to be sinful and they're always going to fail us. You know, Gary, if you're a Christian, we put a lot of faith in that God has ordained government to provide what the government's supposed to provide and that's security for its people. That's the purpose of human government those unbelievers will often elevate government up to godhood. and when government fails them, so does their faith and possibility of there being a divine being. So it creates this great problem, which we call the problem of evil, a stumbling block for people to becing the faith in God We're talking with Nathan Jones and he's written the book comoming Millennial kingdom. As I was reading this, it really struck me my mind immediately shifted to What do you see when you look at Jerusalem today? It's like a whirlwind or a whirl pool. Everybody wants his peace of Jerusalem. and And the Temple Mount is a contested piece of real estate. Maybe the most contested piece of real estate planet Earth And chapter nine is Jerusalem city the seat of his authority and I'm thinking Okay, I like that Eaborate on that a little bit because when we see Jerusalem today, it's just it's total Oh T this match This man wants to go here, this man wants to go here And nobody agrees about anything, and yet the Bible says so much about Jerusalem We live in a time period like no other Because Jesus promised you know how the Bible ends? Revelation twenty two, not once but twice, but three times, Jesus said this. He says, Behold, I am coming quickly and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his work And so we know that Jesus gave us this ironclad promise that He's going to return He also gave us a time indicator. He says when the fig tree rebuds, in other words, when Israel becomes a nation again, that will be the genea, which means the time period or era. upon his return We had living since the late eighteen hundreds into the nineteen hundreds in nineteen forty eight, Israel rebutted. And so we are in that nation fulfilling Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven, where the Lord says that his return will correspond to the Jewish people returning to the land. A lot of Christians out there are upset with Israel and their dealings with Hamas and Hezbollah and they don't see that Israel has a purpose. But there are prophecies. Jeremiah thir eleven, for instance, says, For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you, Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you yet, I will make not make a complete end of you. I will correct you injustice and will not let you go altogether unpunished. So this time of punishment for the Jewish rejection of the Messiah is coming to an end. Isaiah eleven says he's going to regather the Jewish people a second time back into the land And he says, I will bring them back and they shall dwell in the midst of where Jerusalem, Zechariah eight eight. Wh does Israel need to be back in Jerusalem? Because the Lord has promised that he is going to set up hisis kingdom, his throne in Jerusalem and the Jewish people, excuse me, will continue to be a priestly people during that time period Wow, you know you put it so well You can take a deep breath and sort of relax. When you begin to speak in these terms When you look at today's news you become tense. Yes. When you look at sccripture and you find out whereere things are really going the things that God is directing You could take a deep breath and kind of relax and say, wow. What a relief. But right now, we're looking at great tension. that's going to be reconciled. And that's the beauty of the millennial kingdom Again We're really blessed to be in the United States of America. but I have a friend down in Nicaragua who because of his Christian beliefs was kicked out of his own country. You know, there's many countries that enslave. think all the Christians and work camps in North Korea. So we have it pretty good here. but There's a kingdom com in, Daniel two hundred and forty four says, The God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. and the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, these fallen failed human kingdoms, and it will stand forever. Gary, that gives me great hope, great joy because Zechariah fourteenty nine says the Lord shall be king over all the earth. Now When you have a good president or a good king or a good leader, the people rejoice. And when you got a bad king or a corrupt leader, the people suffer. But this is the character of the king. So I'm getting to your question because listen to what this king is, this famous Christmas verse, Isaiah nine six For unto us a child is born and unto us a son is given and the government will be upon his shoulder and his name will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father and prince of peace, and of the increase of hisis government and peace, there will be no end. By the way, that has not happened yet. No. Because it says here and upon the throne of David, this is where we get the Davidic kingdom or the Vict throne And over it' to order establishment with what? judgment and justice from this time forward and forever. So you've got a perfect king, a divine king ruling over the world veryery different even the best of human kings and leaders can never stand up So when you have a king like that, this is the mood of the era. Jeremiah thir one thirteen, The virgins shall rejoice in the dance and the young men and the old together for I will turn theirning morning to joy and will comfort them and make them rejoice. That is what the kingdom is going to be. It's going to be a giant celebration of having the perfect king truth, righteousness and justice ruling over the planet Nathan Jones, you're welcome, by the way, to contribute to our magazine.

We we sort of leave that too well, you know, It's what's going to happen is going to happen But when you study that topic, it really gets encouraging. It does. Most people what they know about the lenial kingdom is from Revelation twenty where it says six times a thousand years, not like a thousand years or as a thousand years, literally thousand years, and this is where we get the term millennium, Mille, anum or thousand years So even though Christ's kingdom is prophesied to last forever It has up initial stage to it, which we call the millennial kingdom. And I'll get to the purpose of why there's a thousandousand year separation But for the most part, Jesus Christ has promised to rule on the throne of David physically from Jerusalem. He rebuilds Jerusalem. Gary, he's even going to build a temple Now this is not the third temple that would be desecrated by the Antichrist. He's going to build what' we call the millennial temple and it is twenty miles squared. That's bigger than most cities. And there, the people will go up to see Jesus. He's going to reinstitute the Feast of Tabernacles And the nations will stream up and we believe Jerusalem will be lifted high because of all the earthquakes during the tribulation. And the people go up and it'll be just like the first century where Jesus sat on the mount on the mountainside and the grass or sat in a boat and taught the people, we'll get to see that. Jesus will have us and says the law will go forth and will stream down and bless the nations. Now what you just did is not done very often I seldom hear people talk about the Millennial Temple and what it's going to look like. And as you were talking, I was really getting enthralled. I want to hear more. I s I can't even imagine it, but one of these days we're going to be able Go to that place And I have an idea that is so fantastically wonderful that we can't even imagine it right now. Yeah, that be Jesus, the God of the universe who is the great creator is building hisis own temple. You know the great throne room of God up in heaven is the original. And so the tabernacle was like a tiny scale model of it. The temples were tiny Well even the millennial temple is only a tiny scale model of the ultimate temple of God. But the Bible promises that. Deariah six twelve says he shall bear the glory and he shall sit and rule on his throne. He continues to be prophet, priest and king. Jesus will fill all three of those. He will be a priest on his throne, and the council of peace shall be between them both Ze Isaiah fif thousandty six seven I will bring to my holy mountain and I will make them joyful in my house of prayer So it's a place where evenven though we can pray to the Lord anywhere And we know hears it We'll actually get to see Jesus face to face. and get this. Isaiah four five says the Shekina glory of God, rememember during the Exodus when the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night led the Israelites through the exodus It's prophesied in Isaiah four to reside over the millennial temple. So we will see the Sn, we will see the Holy Spirit but not yet the father, that's reserved for the eternal state I'll keep listening. I mean as long as he wants to talk on this subject, I will keep listening Because we seldom and I've said this two or three times now, but I really mean it. We seldom delved into this period or I put it another way, the reasons Why there will be that millennial temple And we tend to think, well, you know, when I get there maybe I'll find out about it then But really we can find out a lot about it right now. You're not kidding. Ezekiel chapters forty through forty eight, nine whole chapters of Ezekiel are dedicated just to explaining the temple and it goes in great detail, dimensions and sizes.. It does mention something interesting, animal sacrifices returning. which we believe is to commemorate the sacrifice of the Lord similar to what we do communion and to feed all those people that are going to go up to see Jesus. But it's an interesting time period in that I've wondered if as a time period it doesn't also have to do with because there's serenity in the animal kingdom during that time All these nature documentaries Gary, where the lions are attacking the elephants and you see all this this blood and death will be gone during that time you read in Isaiah eleven, the wolf shall dwell with the lamb The leopard shall lie down with the young goat calf and the young lion and the fatling together and the little child shall lead them. And it goes on to explain how prey and predator can dwell in peace. Little children could stick their hands into vipper' dens and not get bit. The millennial kingdom is a partial lifting of the curse. so there's still going to be sin, there'll still be death. But for the most part, there'll be peace. There'll be peace among the animal kingdom and war will disappear. You know, in the last three thousand five hundred years ninety two percent of human history has been involved in some kind of war with war being defined as one thousand people or more dying. So always conflict. But that only means a little over two hundred years of the last three thousand five hundred. have been without war. And yet the Bible prophesies in Isaiah two four They shall beat their swords and the plowhares and their spears into pruning hooks, nation. shall not lift up sword against nation, and neither shall they learn war any moreore. So can you imagine for a thousand years, my son is in the Coast Guard. There won't be need for a Coast guuard or an army or a Navy during that time, because all the nations, the peoples will be at peace with each other You know, as you're talking, I'm thinking about something that's happening right now that has all, I think in a state of lament And that is we see anti Semitism exploding. We see the Jews being dragged through the public square in effigy. We see things happening that didn't happen U for decades from nineteen thirty eight, World War two ended Israel became a state and then we thought, well, everything's all right. Israel is going to come back. There will be peace in the Middle East and they will begin to build their temple and so forth and so on But what do we see? We see Israel in a state of Credible incredible. Conflict And yet I look at chapter nine Well, I'm going to look at chapter eleven The Jews exalted priestly So there's a future for Israel. Yeah. There is a future for the Jew Absolutely. And we to think about that today is something that I think is uplifting The church overall has abandoned the Jewish people in God's timeline. Certainly we are been grafted in as a spiritual Israel, we Gentiles. But the Bible has always promised that the Jewish people would be a priestly people They failed, but the Lord is then exiled them as was prophesied in Deuteronomy twenty eight through thirty, but the Lord always promised that they'd be a priestly people again. So we're living in a time of regathering where the Jewish people are being regathered back into the land. About seven million Jews live in Israel. There's still another seven million or so outside The result of the Gog Magog War, which I believe timing wise is placed just after the rapture, but before at the onset of the tribulation, will bring all the Jews back We will then see the world go through a tribulation era where a third of the Jews will come to accept Jesus as Savior. And Jesus said in Matthew, that He will not return until the Jewish people cout Baru, Kabab Bashem Adeni. In other words, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. That is what will trigger the return of Christ. Those who are saved will come out of the tribulation and they will be a priestly people Hosea fourteen says, I will heal, they're backsliding I will love them freely for my anger has turned away from them In Zechariah eight twenty three Gallerary, one of my favorite passages. The Lord says in those days, ten men From every language of the nation shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man say Let us go with you for we have heard that God is with you. So 're we're not seeing all the way to the end. rightight now what we're seeing in front of us on Bailey television is a dramatic a dramatic situation that's going to evolve into a blessing. Yeah. Satan wants to destroy the Jewish people because Jesus can't return if there's no more Jews left to cry out to him And so he's going to do everything he can to ramp up the anti Semitism. I also believe that the Lord allows anti Semitism to force the Jewish people to go back to Israel where the only place that they're starting to feel is safe And so we're there, we are living in Bible times. We are seeing the Jewish people regathered as prophesied, they will go through a time of tribulation, the whole world will, but they will be refined and they will come out and finally become the priestly people that God said they will be. Wow. We're talking to Nathan Jones, author of a coming Millennial Kingdom And I wish we had more time, but we have to pause right now so that you can find out how to get his book The millennial kingdom might just be the most misunderstood prophetic subject in the entire Bible Very few books have been written about the Thousand Year Kingdom Age It's not easy to make all the pieces fit together. We have the raptured saints, the martyred saints, the Old Testament Saints, and the unsaved people who survivive this seven year tribulation We even read about the return of King David to rule alongside King Jesus en we have the White Horse pololice Force, as LA Marzilli calls it That would be us, the armies of heaven who return on white horses at the end of the Tribulation pereriod with Jesus leading the charge Studying the Kingdom Age is complicated. Starting with the phrase ruling and reigning with Christ As raptured believers, will we be given our own cities to police? Why are we responsible for judging angels? How can sin be present when Jesus rules with the rod of iron? How do animal lovers justify the reinstitution of animal sacrifices And why does God give Satan yet another opportunity to deceive the world Then there's the massive millennial temple. Its size defies human imagination It will be the largest and most magnificent building ever constructed In addition, massive land changes will take place. The entire city of Jerusalem will be lifted up and changed permanently, changing a new city that will span some two thousand five hundred square miles Nathan Jones has taken these questions and written the coming Millennial Kingdom. It reads like a treasure map Digging out hidden clues to take us to our final destination Lifespans will be extended. The curse on the animal kingdom will be lifted Sin will be judged swiftly and real peace will be in the air Nathan's roadmap will give you a good look at God's future plans The coming Millennial Kingdom is available for your gift of thirty dollars or more with shipping included anywhere in the USA We're also going to include a free bonus, a copy of God's Grand finale Study on the Book of Revelation by prophecy expert Jeff Kenley Call the number you see on your screen twenty fourty seven or visit our online bookstore at prophecywatchers.tv For our international friends, please note that additional shipping fees do apply and all prices listed are in US dollars We also offer a discounted package.

These important subjects take on new meaning as we draw closer to the millennial kingdom and the return of Jesus Be encouraged by the hope of spending all eternity with Jesus, enjoying the bright future He's prepared just for us And we're back with Nathan Jones. We've got about three minutes. Can you believe it? Time flies when there is a lot to say. and you really have a lot to say about the Millennial Kingdom. I must say this book Uh Let's put it this way. You look at a book with a title that has the millennial kingdom in it and you think, well Not for me. Oh no. You start to read it and you find out, wait a minute, this thing is really interesting And you go through clear to the end as I did. and I must say, it was edifying, it was enjoyable. Thanks the Lord. and kind of spiritually uplifting. Well, it is, and it has one of the biggest tragedies of the whole planet The whole human history ends in a tragedy. And the fact is that Satan will be bound for a thousand years. immagine no satanic influence affecting governments of the world But the Lord releases them at the end. and all those children born of the tribulation saints they still choose Jesus or not And it says that many of them will unite with Satan and try one last attempt to overthrow Jesus. There's no war, so he just sends down fire and incinerates them That's the end of the millennial kingdom, then we get the eternal state afterwards, which proves that even though you could have a perfect king and a perfected administrators, that's the church age, that's us If the people are still falling, even in utopia, you're going to have a failed government And that's what the millennial kingdom proves that Jesus Christ has to defeat all evil, including death in Hades itself in order to have a perfect society Wow am Everything is on schedule You don't have to worry In fact, if you are wondering these days, where in the world are we going Oh, And who's in control And Wow, what's happening? All you have to do is just remember that there is a conclusion, there is a culmination. And God has this master plan which I think a lot of us just forget to look at. It's really easy to get absorbed in daily events and get a little bit depressed, you know, a little bit out of source. Wow, is this really happening? And then when you get back, to looking at what the Bible says, it's really, really I guess you could say relaxing. Yes, because God wants us to know that he has the victory and his children through him are victorious as well And you have put that so well in your book. We've got just a few seconds And what would you say to the potential reader of this book on the Millennial Kingdom? The only way that you're going to be a citizen of the kingdom is if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior. Put your faith and trust in himim and you too can be a citizen of the kingdom. Amen. His name is Nathan Jones and Catch him whenever you can because he's always got a lot to say.
