2.6 List of Biblical Sources

Posted on by admin

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)  And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: {2:7} That in the AGES TO COME he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (Eph2:5-7 – capitalized words mine)

Are you thoroughly convinced that you have an exciting future ahead? Do you have a clear vision of this future ? Do you know that in the near future you will experience the full richness and beauty of God’s love, power and magnificence? That in Jesus’ millennium you will be fully and supernaturally enabled to do great things? That you will be creatively involved in the Lord’s service to administer this restored earth? That you will be a caring, nurturing, thorough, able, confident, talented, gifted, successful and creative agent of Gods administration over the nations? That your hope for eternal life does not need to be a vague hope of some stress free, happy but boring future?

If you’re not convinced yet, your fist step will be to meditate on the prophetic scriptures relating to the millennium, to dare to imagine yourself there, and ask God to fix this in your mind. To see Jesus as described in Revelation 1 and 19. No longer the lamb of the cross, but now the lion of Judah, fierce in battle but just and loving to all who submit to His wisdom and who are obedient. A true Hero, awesomely powerful in his deeds and admirable in His leadership, wisdom and care. The One whom we can delight in and hang out with, the object of our desire, to worship His perfection and beauty for ever.

This wonderful, new, restored earth, however, is not born without the corresponding ‘birth-pains’. Jesus introduced the concept of the ‘birth pains’ in Matthew 24, the prophetic chapter on the ‘end times’. The following posts, 3.0 to 7.10, consider the prophetic scriptures relating to the times immediately before the commencement of the millennium.

Before beginning our study of the  end-times preceding the Millennial reign of Christ, our Savior, from Jerusalem, it will be useful to list here the major sources of material about the  end times.  This is a quick overview in order to provide a sense of the biblical material and where it is to be found. The orange highlights indicate end-time or millennial prophesies. For further scriptures on ‘The Day of the Lord” refer to post 7.0 You may also wish to refer to a timeline of end-time events as given in Xchart-c. For a brief historical summary of the world t the time of the major prophets, refer to Cyrus_and_Darius_(Jason_Hilburn). (This sketch is probably the most accurate, and agrees with the timing given in our post outlining the “2000 year” theory, i.e. deriving a 605BC start for the 70 year exile, and 536BC end date. This is different to many prominent (& erroneous) internet sites, many of which don’t honor a literal 70 years for the exile.)
