ISAIAH’S END-TIME TIMELINE

Isaiah’s End-time Timeline Chapters 51-52

THE GREATER MILLENNIAL INHERITANCE

Genesis 12:7, Ezekiel 36:21-33, Romans 11:25-27

The last verses of Isaiah 51 (verses 21-23) with chapter 52, verses 1-10 speak of the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ with the binding of satan and the casting of him into the Pit. Let’s read Isaiah 14:19, 24:21-23 and Revelation 20:1-3. And then to follow; the Millennial period. [Isaiah 51:22-52:2 with Revelation 20:4-6]

The prophetic Word of God involves 4 groups: Angels, Gentiles, the New Man, and Israel. When we look into the meanings of the Abrahamic Covenant, we discover the foundation by which we may study prophecy as a whole. And to rightly define it as it relates not only to Israel, but the nation of the New Man (Matthew 21:43, Ephesians 2) and the Gentiles. Let’s look into the expression of “the seed of Abraham”. The Scriptures apply this to:

  1. The natural seed of Abraham
  2. Those who follow Abraham’s example of faith
  3. The spiritual Seed of Abraham
  4. The followers of Jesus Christ in faith.

The promises to Abraham are significant to our understanding of the inheritance of the faithful seed, that being the Land. (Genesis 12:7, 13:15,17 and 15:18-21). The Land of Canaan promised to the faithful seed and the term “the Kingdom of Heavens” promised to the nation of the new man, define the inheritance of the seed/Seed.

THE NATURAL SEED

The world events that are currently taking place may be regarded as the prelude to the consummation of the birth pains which shall lead to the events of Israel’s great demise; Jacob’s Trouble. [Jeremiah 30:5-7, Daniel 12:1, Zechariah 13:8,9 Matthew 24:15-22 and Daniel 9:27] And maybe most clearly seen from Ezekiel 20:34-38, their deliverance which is fulfilled in Revelation 19 seen from Romans 11:25-27, Zechariah 14:4, and Isaiah 52:1 Isaiah 2:3.

God said to Abraham’s natural seed that they would go into Egypt many years until the iniquity of the Amorites be full. [Genesis 1] Then came the Exodus and the return unto the Land under Moses and Joshua. They lived then, in that Land for hundreds of years, until the moral disintegration of Solomon, with the division of the Nation after his death into two kingdoms. This resulted in the first dispersion into captivity by the Assyrians in 721 BC, and then later in 606 BC with the invasion of Judah by Babylon and the resulting captivity and dispersion. The prophetic words of Moses of Dispersion in Deuteronomy 28:62-65 and 30:1-3 came true, the return from which was prophesied by Jeremiah 29:10,11. The next dispersion was AD 70 & 135 with the destruction of Jerusalem. From which we see today, nearly 2000 years later, a re-gathering; a reconstituting, but not in faith, and prophecy declares another, even greater dispersion, by the hand of the Anti-Christ. After which there is a final re-establishing forever in the Kingdom of Christ at His return. [Deuteronomy 30:1-3] This permanent restoration and re-gathering will be all the natural seed of Abraham, including all the righteous faithful Israelites who have died and gone to rest with the forefathers in Hades/the intermediate place of the dead. [Deuteronomy 30:5-9, Isaiah 51:22-52:2] This prophecy, along with Isaiah 11,14,43, 60 & 66, continues to assure God’s purposes and intent to dispel their enemies and establish Israel as Abraham’s seed in the promised Land, along with Revelation chapters 11, 19 & 20.

It should be further understood that Isaiah 52:3-5 pinpoints exactly what Israel’s position and state is, in that end time final dispersion and captivity of the Anti-Christ, and why. (See Isaiah 52 verse 5 along with Ezekiel 36:21-33)  “Woe unto you! For my Name through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles.” (See Paul’s quote of this verse in Romans 2:24 for uncorrupted true version. Also consider the same hypocrisy, full of deceivers, and results in the great falling away of Christians.) And that is their severe condition; drunk but not with wine, in that had the Lord not then come, possibly none of them would have survived the great slaughter. But for the Elect’s sake He comes at the time of Jesus Christ’s manifestation to them seen in verse 6. “Therefore my people shall know my name (therefore because, they under such heavy persecution cry out to God for deliverance, although drunken, but not with wine) therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doeth speak: behold, it is I.” Now they finally see their deliverance; Jesus Christ their Messiah. KNOW FOR CERTAIN THE ONE WHO BOTH DELIVERED THEM INTO AND FROM THIS GREAT TROUBLE. The sealed survive. [Zechariah 12-14:15]

It is the elect faithful seed of Abraham that survive the Great Tribulation/Jacob’s Trouble and receive Jesus as their Messiah. Daniel 12:1… “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of they people: and there shall be time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”

Not all of Israel will rise in the First Resurrection out from among the dead. As in the days of Moses, some must remain in the wilderness until the 2nd Resurrection of all remaining dead. But the Faithful deceased Jews shall rise from Hades, being resurrected, and shall live and be priests unto God, each in their appointed place. King David will rise and take his place as the prince of Israel in the great restored City of Jerusalem. [Ezekiel 34:23, 37:24, Hosea 3:5]

THE SPIRITUAL SEED OF ABRAHAM Now all Israel, the natural seed of Abraham, will have seen Jesus as Messiah, and declare Him Lord and God. But what of His seed? One defining verse tells the story… “Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” 

Moses interceded for the unfaithful of Israel and God pardoned according to his intercession (Numbers 14:20), yet God said: “…surely they shall not see the land.” So Jesus Christ’s Atonement prevails with God as it relates to JUSTIFICATION, that is forgiveness of the transgressions associated with the Passover Lamb, and the sure retaining of the gift of deliverance out of “Egypt”. YET, they who have provoked God in their refusal to go in and possess in sanctification, surely will not have an inheritance in the kingdom of heavens. (Matthew 5:20 7:21 10:32,39 16:26 18:1-3,17,18 19:23 Luke 6:24 18:17,24 Mark 9:33-50 10:15, John 3:5, 1 Corinthians 6:8-10, Galatians 5:19-21 6:7,8 Ephesians 5:5 etc…)

Satan has been the recipient of mercy in the dispensation of mercy. But now is the change of dispensation, now it is that of Judgment and Justice. Thus the judging of the great culprit. It is in his binding only that Zion can be established. The last act of the Angels of God in the administration within the realm of the earth is with the sealing of the Bottomless Pit that he deceive not anymore. (That is until the fulfilling of the 1000 years of rest.) Then comes the King of kings and Kingdom of Christ to the earth, and those He appoints to replace satan in the ruling of this World. And to whom does He appoint co-regency? Scripture says the righteous, the faithful overcomers, those found worthy. [Revelation 2:26,27 3:21, Luke 20:35, Philippians 3:11] And in what realms shall they reign? From two realms, in the heavens above, (related to this World) and the material earth. What groups or classes reign? In general, the resurrected into a second life. This is in a material body in the likeness of Christ’s resurrected body. This is not new spiritual life, as they already possessed that, but reward of a second life for a well-living in the first life. These especially include the slain faithful martyrs; forming two groups: both of the Jews and the New Man. Additionally who? Those who, while living, crucify their carnal lives/souls; those that, as Christ said, take up their crosses and crucify their (carnal flesh) souls. Also, a potential new group is introduced to us in the Book of Revelation: “And whosoever worshiped not the Wild Beast, nor his image, nor received the mark on their forehead or their hand, both lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years.”  As these held in the power of the Spirit, neither Jew or Christian, but yet resisted and bowed not, for the fear of God and conscience. [Revelation 14:6,7]

THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

With the Mercy and Grace dispensation now being set aside, Jesus comes in righteousness to Judge, to War, and to Rule. This is the Time of Justice, and the time of reward (Romans 2:6), that is to say not corporately but to individuals according to their good works, labor, and suffering. The First Fruits rapture and Harvest resurrection from among the dead is a reward. The righteous faithful overcomers of the flesh, satan, and the World arise; resurrected and glorified, in body and soul. The wheat field harvested, both 1st fruits and remainder,  will never be sown again. [Matthew 13:24-43]

Revelation 4-6 defines the Throne of the King of kings and the thrones of His co-regents. His Bride declares the right to rule, as she did not judge the World before her time. [2 Corinthians 4:8-14 with Luke 12:14]  They were to suffer and submit. Now it is resurrection time, and they are to rule with a rod of Iron.  1 Corinthians 6:2,3…. This refers to Revelation 20:4 “I saw thrones, and they set upon them and judgment was given unto them…..”

“And I saw thrones….”  fulfills the words of prophecy throughout Old Covenant and the New Covenant. [2 Samuel 7, 1 Chronicles 17, Psalms 89, Amos 9:11:15, Luke 1:32] “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David”  (Also see Matthew 19:28, 20:20-23, Acts 1:6, 15:14-18) Read.

It is written: It will be a government of righteousness and Justice. [Isaiah 11:1-10] A time of universal knowledge. [Isaiah 11:9] There will be the New Covenant with the nation of Israel. [Jeremiah 31:33,34, Isaiah 9:6,7] Christ is the Prince of Peace who will reign on the throne of David. [Isaiah 16:5] Christ will sit in the tent of David administrating justice. [Isaiah 24:23] God will reign in Zion. [Isaiah 32:1] The King will administer absolute righteousness. Isaiah 35:56 and 33:24 says their will be freedom from sickness and disease. Isaiah 40:1-11 gives the character of the ruling King. (With chapter 42, verses 3-4) Isaiah 52:7-15 says the King will return to Zion. The Holy Spirit will have a special Ministry in Israel, and in the entire earth. [Isaiah 44:1 32:15, Ezekiel 36:27, 39:29] Joel 2:28,29 shall surely be fulfilled. A Temple will be built, a system of priesthood established, and sacrifices offered all just for the Millennial Worship Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Before, the people of the earth had to resist the World, satan and the flesh/ the carnal soul. (That is to say the un-renewed mind, and the sensual body) But now they are to resist just the flesh. Now the earth is filled with wicked, but then the righteous shall rule. The nations will be in subjection for 1000 years. Now Jesus is away as the High Priest, in the Holy of Holies ever making intercession for the saints. Then, He shall have come forth as King. Unto Him all power is given. Now, the god of this world rules from the heavens over the earth. Then, Christ and His Bide will rule from the heavens over the earth, as Israel has preeminence in the earth. Now, there is the Lord’s supper and baptism, in memorial. Then, those being fulfilled, will have no place in the Millennium.

The Temple below is but the outer court of the Tabernacle above as Christ takes His Throne above and His priest/kings now take the place of the Angels in the administrating of His will in the earth. They serve before Him day and night (Revelation 7) with pure hearts and full knowledge. In love of God and for man, they rule their appointed subjects. This then fulfills the words of the elder Angels… “They shall reign over the earth.”
