Christ's Millennium Reign

During the God's rest what happened and still what will happen?

God blessed his seventh day of creation.

The seventh day of God's creation is the day to fulfill the purpose of God's earthly creation for the glory of God and happiness for all living things.

Can Satan's rebellion and Adam and Eve's disobedience prevent it happen? It can never.

God appointed Christ to deal with the obstacles created by Satan to hinder the realization of his loving purpose for the earth.

Christ was called the Lord of the Sabbath.
As such, he would fulfill the purpose of the seventh day of God's creation by overcoming all obstacles placed in the way.

When Jesus was on earth he demonstrated what he will do under his kingdom which is also called Christ's millennium reign.

All human imperfection will be cured and the dead will be raised up again during his millennium reign.

It will occur in the seventh day of God's rest.
Christ Jesus as the Lord of Sabbath will see to it that every thing will be what God originally intended to be by the end of his thousand years reign which is still in the seventh day of God's rest.

All Adam's descendants will stand before God as the sinless perfect man and woman at the end of the Christ's thousand years reign.

God's blessing upon the seventh day will not return to him without results.

Isa 55:11
11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it.

Mt 12:5-8, 9-13
5 Or, have YOU not read in the Law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple treat the sabbath as not sacred and continue guiltless? 6 But I tell YOU that something greater than the temple is here. 7 However, if YOU had understood what this means, 'I want mercy, and not sacrifice,' YOU would not have condemned the guiltless ones. 8 For Lord of the sabbath is what the Son of man is."

9 After departing from that place he went into their synagogue; 10 and, look! a man with a withered hand! So they asked him, "Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?" that they might get an accusation against him. 11 He said to them: "Who will be the man among YOU that has one sheep and, if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not get hold of it and lift it out? 12 All considered, of how much more worth is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do a fine thing on the sabbath." 13 Then he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored sound like the other hand.

Mr 2:27-28
27 So he went on to say to them: "The sabbath came into existence for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the sabbath; 28 hence the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath."

Mr 3:4-5
4 Next he said to them: "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do a good deed or to do a bad deed, to save or to kill a soul?" But they kept silent. 5 And after looking around upon them with indignation, being thoroughly grieved at the insensibility of their hearts, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

Lu 13:15-17
15 However, the Lord answered him and said: "Hypocrites, does not each one of YOU on the sabbath untie his bull or his ass from the stall and lead it away to give it drink? 16 Was it not due, then, for this woman who is a daughter of Abraham, and whom Satan held bound, look! eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" 17 Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame; but all the crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things done by him.

Lu 14:1-6
1 And on an occasion when he went into the house of a certain one of the rulers of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat a meal, they were closely watching him. 2 And, look! there was before him a certain man who had dropsy. 3 So in response Jesus spoke to those versed in the Law and to the Pharisees, saying: "Is it lawful on the sabbath to cure or not?" 4 But they kept silent. With that he took hold of [the man], healed him and sent [him] away. 5 And he said to them: "Who of YOU, if his son or bull falls into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?" 6 And they were not able to answer back on these things.

Lu 7:22-23
22 Hence in answer he said to the [two]: "Go YOUR way, report to John what YOU saw and heard: the blind are receiving sight, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are being told the good news. 23 And happy is he who has not stumbled over me."

Adam fell into sin in the seventh day of God's sabbath.
God acted immediately to rescue his family.
God promised the seed who bruises Satan's head in the seventh day of his rest.
Christ's millennium reign will accomplish God's rescue mission by the end of the seventh day of God's rest.
It is the manifestation of God's mercy.

live according to the purpose of the seventh day of God's rest.

What was intended on God's Sabbath?
It was Blessing for all mankind.
Even though, God's Sabbath defiled by Satan, God will fulfill his purpose on the day. He will remove all ill effects brought by Adam's sin. So, the sons of the kingdom will be the king-priest to cure all mankind in Christ's millennium reign.

All the nation will be bless themselves by the sons of the kingdom, the ture seed of Abraham.

Ge 22:18
18 And by means of your seed (Abraham's seed, Christ and the sons of the kingdom) all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves.

This promise will be fulfilled by resurrection of all mankind from Adam's days during the Christ's millennium reign.

All the nations from the time of Adam will bless themselves by the sons of the kingdom during the Christ's thousand years reign.

For this reason, the New Jerusalem will descend from heaven with blessing at the beginning of the Christ's millennium reign.

Re 21:1-4
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Do you understand the incredible high value of Christ's millennium reign?
Do you live for the kingdom?

Heb 4:3-11
3 For we who have exercised faith do enter into the rest, just as he has said: "So I swore in my anger, 'They shall not enter into my rest,'" although his works were finished from the founding of the world. 4 For in one place he has said of the seventh day as follows: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works," 5 and again in this place: "They shall not enter into my rest."

6 Since, therefore, it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom the good news was first declared did not enter in because of disobedience, 7 he again marks off a certain day by saying after so long a time in David's [psalm] "Today"; just as it has been said above: "Today if YOU people listen to his own voice, do not harden YOUR hearts." 8 For if Joshua had led them into a place of rest, [God] would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 So there remains a sabbath resting for the people of God. 10 For the man that has entered into [God's] rest has also himself rested from his own works, just as God did from his own.

11 Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.

Mt 13:44-46
44 "The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field.
45 "Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. 46 Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it.

Mt 6:9-10
9 "YOU must pray, then, this way:
"'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.

Jesus demonstrated what he will do in his millennium reign when he was on earth.

Mt 4:23-25
23 Then he went around throughout the whole of Gal′i·lee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and curing every sort of disease and every sort of infirmity among the people. 24 And the report about him went out into all Syria; and they brought him all those faring badly, distressed with various diseases and torments, demon-possessed and epileptic and paralyzed persons, and he cured them. 25 Consequently great crowds followed him from Gal′i·lee and De·cap′o·lis and Jerusalem and Ju·de′a and from the other side of the Jordan.

Mt 11:3-6
4 In reply Jesus said to them: "Go YOUR way and report to John what YOU are hearing and seeing: 5 The blind are seeing again, and the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, and the dead are being raised up, and the poor are having the good news declared to them; 6 and happy is he that finds no cause for stumbling in me."

So live for the kingdom resting from your personal interest as God himself do so.

As to Re 20:5
5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)
It is one of the questionable scriptures. "The rest of the dead . . . were ended," AVg; אSyp omit.

In other Bibles, Revelation 20:5 reads: '(The rest of the dead don't come to life until the end of the thousand years.) This is the first resurrection.'

Though the familiar description of the resurrection has been quoted for years and used as a basis for many religious doctrines, the words shown in parenthesis aren't found in the Bible's oldest manuscript of the Revelation, the Codex Sinaiticus.
