Believe It OR Not!
Did you know ?
1. That there are kingdoms on other planets? It is plainly stated in Col.1: 15-18 that God Through Christ created thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, both visible and invisible, that are in Heaven and in Earth. These dominions and principalities are not all located on Earth for it is stated that some are in Heaven. The word Heaven should be understood as the whole of the heavens, which are inhabited. There must be life on all the habitable worlds and if this be true then they are organized into dominions and kingdoms as we understand it on this planet. This is clear from many Scriptures: “Rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them…he opened his mouth in blasphemy, against God, to blaspheme…them that dwell in heaven” (Rev. 12:12; 13:6). See also Col. 1:16-18; Rom. 1:20; 1 Cor. 15:35-50. None of these inhabitants would be coming here for we are still in a time of testing. Angels now rule the planets throughout the universe. One day people from Earth will dwell on those planets. After the Millennium that Christ rules on the Earth with his saints, there comes the final judgment after the devil has been loosed out of the pit for awhile and gathers those who will be against Christ’s rule. Then the world ends with fire.
Jesus will protect those who belong to Him and a New Heavens and New Earth are then established. After that the physical people who have been faithful to God multiply and many move on to the outer reaches of the universe. It will be the human population of earth that will populate those planets under the rule of saints and angels, not bug eyed aliens, fallen angels and giants. Keep in mind that God is not limited to one dimension or linear time. Prophecy is history written in advance. The heavens are inhabited and we will one day be those that inhabit those heavens. We will move into space, but not TODAY.
2. That this age cannot end any day as some teach? There are many prophecies to be fulfilled yet and a number of years to come to pass before the age ends. There will be at least seven years that the Antichrist will be here before the age ends. (Dan:9:27; Rev. 13:5). How many more years there will be before he comes is not clear, so it is impossible for this age to end any day as taught by many Bible teachers.
3. That the church does not have to go through the tribulation to be purified? There is no such statement in Scripture. If there was, then it would be necessary for all the dead saints to be resurrected and live in the tribulation in order to go through the same process of cleansing and this no one teaches. It is JESUS blood that cleanses from sin and not a period of tribulation and this will always be the case (Eph.1:7; 1 John 1:7; Rev. 1:5). The church is ready and always has been ready, for all the true believers in Christ are new creatures in Christ and as long as they stay in Christ they are ready. Those out of Christ are never ready and there is no statement in Scripture that Christ cannot come back for those that are ready until certain ones who are not saved get ready. On the contrary, all in Christ are ready at all times and will be raptured together at the proper time (1 Thess. 4:13-17; 1 Cor. 15:23; Eph. 5:27).
4. That a literal earthly kingdom will continue on this planet forever? This is proved from the following Scriptures (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:9-14, 18; Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 1:32-33; Rev. 1:5; 5:10; 11:15; 22:5-6; Zech. 14; etc.)
5. That the Earth will not be desolate during the Millennium? There is not one statement in Scripture to support such a theory. On the contrary, Rev. 20 speaks of the saints reigning on the Earth over natural men and that at the end of the Millennium many people will rebel against the government and will be destroyed by fire. Science fiction fans may remember “Q” from the Star Trek series. He could appear and disappear at will, change form, go great distances at the speed of a thought, walk through walls and all other seemingly impossible feats. Angels can do these things as well. After His resurrection Christ could appear and disappear, could eat, (he ate fish and bread with his disciples) cause others to recognize or not recognize Him etc. The saints ruling under the theocracy of God will be able to do the same. At the second coming of Christ before the Millennium the kingdom will be set up and it will continue forever. (Matt.13:42-43; 25:31-46; Rev. 19:11-21; 20:1-15; Zech. 14; Dan. 2:44-45; 7:9-14, 18; Heb. 12:25-28). People will go up to Jerusalem to worship year by year in the Millennium (Isa. 2:1-4; Zech. 14:16-21) , so there will be plenty of people on the Earth at that time, minus those who were killed during the tribulation.
