0093 - WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM?

WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE REBELLION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM?

Perhaps you will ask: “but, after 1,000 years of a pure, perfect, just and holy reign, why will all the nations rebel against the Creator and His Holy City?

 

Because they will desire to be and have more than what was prepared for them.

 

It’s truth that, in all the world, there won’t be more wars and, finally, there will be righteous government who cares for people:

 

·       Isa 2:2-4 -> “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”.

 

However, they will nurture envy in their heart when they go to Jerusalem in the appointed times:

 

·       Zec 14:16-19 -> “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.”. 

 

After all, the blessings to Jerusalem and the mount Zion will be marvelous and only for the Israelites:

 

·       Isa 11:1-9 -> “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”.

 

After all, the blessings to Jerusalem and the mount Zion will be marvelous and only for the Israelites:

 

·       Isa 65:18-25 -> “But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joyAnd I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of cryingThere shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursedAnd they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with themAnd it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”.

 

Imagine all the people having to go up to Jerusalem to learn Jesus’ ways, laws, teachings, etc., to worship Him from time to time in Jerusalem (and seeing all the glory of Jesus and the paradise wherein Jerusalem was turned in), but without possibility of dwell there (a beautiful place full of joy, peace, love, without any harm).

 

After all, the time to the non-Israelites trod down Jerusalem for dwelling there will finish in the second coming of Jesus to establish the millennium:

 

·       Luk 21:24 -> “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”.

 

In the millennium, the salvific grace of Jesus won’t work. People will live as in the time of the Old Testament, but with one difference: now Jesus is the king reigning through His perfect law, having with ministers the fool virgins of Rev 6:9-11 with glorified body (who was perfectly redeemed). That is to say, all the government will be perfect with righteous laws and faithful ministers. The worship to the Creator will be holy and without any blemish.

 

However, without the transformation carried out by Jesus’ grace, people only will be able to obey while Jesus is reigning with iron rod (Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15), that is to say, without Ha-Satan to deceive the nations (Rev 20:1-3).

 

In other words, even a perfect government won’t be able to satisfy all the hearts. People get outright excited with elections, believing that if a righteous, kind and compassionate government is established, the world would be better. The truth is that, even when this happens, there will be millions (perhaps billions) of people who will try to put it down.

 

Do you remember why Ha-Satan was made into devil?

 

·       John 8:44 -> “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, *because there is no truth in him* . When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”.

 

The key point is “because there is no truth in him”. And when the Truth isn’t in the heart of someone, the result is that never they will be thoroughly happy. Always they will find something to disquiet them (chiefly when the prosperity of the others is superior to them).

 

When this takes place, they do exactly what Ha-Satan did:

 

·       Isa 14:12-14 -> “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations lowYou said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’”.

·       Eze 28:15-17 -> “You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fireYour heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.”.

 

Or as Eve did:

 

·       Gen 3:5,6 -> “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.”.

 

Or as the angels below did:

 

·       Jud 1:6 -> “And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day“. 

 

All of these characters sinned from the moment that they tried to be or have what wasn’t designed by them. Although all of them were in the paradise and, in particular, Ha-Satan and these angels had a glorified body, when they thought that they could have or be more than what the Creator bestowed them, the covet gave birth to sin:

 

·       Jas 1:14,15 -> “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desireThen desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”.

 

Therefore, if the Truth doesn’t reside inside the person, they won’t know who they are and for what they were created and, thus, they always will find reason for dissatisfaction. It suffices to find someone who are or have something apart from them.
