GOD'S KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God
At the Battle of Armageddon, the Lord will eliminate all human governments here on earth. He will set up His government, the Kingdom of God, which will reign supreme on earth for the next one thousand years. Revelation 11:15 states, “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Furthermore, Daniel 2:44 states, “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”
Satan will be conquered, chained and threw into the bottomless pitch.
It will be perfect peace on earth for the next one thousand years. The saints will rule and reign with the Lord in this kingdom, and it will be governed according to Biblical principles, Righteousness shall be the law of this government.
There will be no sin, no harm, snake, lions shall dwell peaceful among humans, God shall established justice and every commands of God shall be effective in this government.
Shortly after the reign, Satan will be released from the bottomless pitch and will still form a numbers of armies from the sons and daughters of men born during the reign of this kingdom to lay an attack On the Lord and the Saints but they (satan and his armies) will fail woefully.
How Can You Prepare?
Understanding the prophetic events that will occur over the next several years is only part of the equation. 1 Chronicles 12:32 tells us that, “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” It is good to recognize events we will face in the future, but what actions should we take as a result of this knowledge?
Most people focus on the physical aspect of preparation. Commonly asked questions are: (1) What can I invest in to guarantee my security? (2) How much food should I store up? (3) Should I move to a remote area and live off the land?
The problem is, no one knows the complete answers to these questions. We have no idea what the economy will look like after the Sixth Trumpet War. It is impossible to judge the availability of food or the access to shelter, electricity, water, etc. Sure, once we get further into these events, perhaps information like this will be available, but not now.
However, whether it’s today or over the next few years, spiritual preparedness is the most important absolute necessity. Matthew 6:31-33 clearly tells us how to prepare, “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?… But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The best thing an individual can do to equip themselves for future events, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, is to be born again. Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3 that he couldn’t see or enter the Kingdom of God unless he was born again of the water and the spirit. Born of the spirit means spiritual rebirth , spiritual rebirth is not as the same as repentance .
Are you prepared?Awareness lead to preparation, that is, you must be aware of the coming Kingdom of God before you can prepare for it. The goodness of this Kingdom is beyond human expectation and reasoning.
