When it comes to the millennial reign of Christ in Revelation chapter 20 the many different perspectives and viewpoints based on the timing of what this event is. “What is the purpose of the millennial kingdom? For one thing, it will be the fulfillment of God 's promises to Israel and to Christ (Ps 2; Luke 1:30-33). Our Lord reaffirmed them to His own Apostles (Luke 22:29-30). This kingdom will be a worldwide display of Christ 's glory, when all nature will be set free from the bondage of sin (Romans 8:19-22). It will be the answer to the prayers of the saints, "My kingdom come!"”

There are three main views for the millennial reign. These views are: pre-millennial, post-millennial, and a millennial. Each of these beliefs have their own groups of theologians and biblical scholars …show more content…
We will witness the establishment of the great city, New Jerusalem. But the most exciting and amazing promise of Scripture is that from that point forward we will live in the presence of the Eternal God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    The Messiah came at the perfect time and place between 10BC and 40AD. During this time period Christianity started from a Jew born from his virgin mother Mary. This was no ordinary Jew, this was Jesus Christ, The Messiah. Although many did not believe he was the Messiah he came just as prophets said he would, "But when the fullness of time was come, God sent his son , made a women, made under law." (Gal.4:4). I agree with "the fullness of time" theory because in the time frame that Jesus was born and raised was the perfect time and place for Christianity to start in some many ways. There are five important elements to the "fullness of time" theory. First; The perfect location, Jesus was born in the middle of many different civilizations which allowed him to spread his message to many different kinds of people. Second; The decadence of the Roman world, this had many people open to new ideas and ways of living. Third; Roman roads, this made traveling faster and easier than traveling through deserts and forest to get around. 4; the Pax Romana , this was so that the roman empire were at peace with each other and not at civil war which made traveling on the roads a lot easier because peoples were not shooting each other from either side anymore. Finally 5; Caesar's gift to the Jew's, this gift allowed the Jews to keep culture and not be forced into what the roman's did because of Caesar was grateful to them for rescuing him. These five elements surely made this the perfect time for the Messiah to come therefore completing the "fullness of time" theory. When Jesus was born he was an ordinary boy with a lot of wisdom, as soon as he started performing miracles…

    Continuing Revelation Research Paper

    #4 Continuing Revelation- Christians believe and agree with the statement that God speaks to His children on earth. The difference lays in the way we view our intimate communication and relationship with God. In prayer we speak to God. We ask Him for His intervention in our lives and we faithfully believe that He responds to our prayers. Are we going to say we just received a divine revelation from God, or call ourselves prophets? Are we going to record the message and call it divine inspiration or a revelation from God, and demand to be included as Scripture? Certainly not. The Bible is sufficient enough. We believe that His Divine Inspiration ended with the 66 books of the Canonic Bible. God’s message of redemption and the mission…

    The rise of christain europe from AD300 to AD800

    The start of Islam is marked in the year 610, following the first revelation to the prophet Muhammad at the age of 40. Muhammad and his followers spread the teachings of Islam throughout the Arabian peninsula. Soon after the death of the prophet Muhammad, there were military expeditions, called "futuhat," or literally "openings," into what is now Egypt and other parts of North Africa. In other parts of the world, Islam spread through trade and commerce. The following is a brief timeline that highlights some of the major occurrences in Islam's development, as well as the geographical spread of Islam to some of the countries featured in the film.…

    In today’s modern times, the term “apocalypse” has come to mean a plethora of things to many different people.

    An Errand into the Fires of Injustice

    The myth of the millennial nation is one that describes the vision and perception held by the American people that suggests that the United States is the Nation responsible for heralding in the second coming of Jesus Christ. Hughes ties this vision to the American idea of manifest destiny which held much responsibility for our nation's growth and overpowering force, not merely in our hemisphere – but in all of the world.…

    Differences and Similarities Between the First and Second Coming of Jesus Christ

    The prophecies of Jesus’ First Coming focused on who He was before His human birth, His miraculous birth, a bit about His life, His crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection ---- all of which was prophesied many hundreds of years before His birth. The second coming of Christ or parousia is the return of Jesus Christ from Heaven to Earth as expected in most Christian eschatologies. The anticipated event is predicted in biblical messianic prophecy in which Jesus Christ will return to earth as King in power and glory to rule for a thousand years. Those who argue that Jesus was not the Messiah because He did not fulfill all the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah,…

    Analysis Of Isaiah 65: 17-25

    Analysis Of Isaiah 65: 17-25

    In Isaiah 65:17-25, Isaiah mentions the citation of YHWH that He is about to “create new heavens and new earth” and gives some details of the things that will occur in the new creation. One of the things that YHWH will do is that “the youth will die at a hundred years” (Isa 65:20). Isaiah reiterated this declaration of a new creation in 66:22-23. Isaiah‘s statement in Isaiah 65:20 has received a considerable amount of debate among scholars. Scholarship is divided on the interpretation of the creation of “new heavens and new earth,” where death will re-appear a phrase which is found in the Old Testament only in the book of Isaiah. The death in the “new heaven and new earth” in Isaiah can be seen to be contrary to John’s…
