The Kingdom of One Thousand Years «Beloved, do not forget that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years and a thou- sand years as one day!» (2 Peter: 3/8.) * «Then I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and satan, the one who de- ceives the whole inhabited earth. 1 The angel 2 bound the dragon 3 for a thousand years and cast him into the abyss. It was shut and sealed over him, so that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he is to be released for a short time. I saw thrones on which those who had received authority to pass judgment were seated. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or his image and who has not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has part in the first resurrection! Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for one thousand years. After the millennium 4 , satan will be released from his prison…» (Apoc. 20/1-7.) The Kingdom of One Thousand Years Text selections from the Word of God 5 on this topic 6 Behold, we go forward and are careful within the spirit, as the spirit keeps the Christian awake before the meanings of God’s mysteries. Let us also not be weak in our bodies, as the heaviness of the body comes from the carelessness of the spirit, My dear. I have spoken so much to My people of today, which has had God’s mysteries on the table, and My people has not grown old in wisdom according to how much book it ate from Me. And some of My people have not used anything from God’s so much speaking, and like the young man, whose spirit became heavy at Paul’s speaking, and who fell asleep and fell down from above and died, so is the body of this people, as it had not got a careful spirit in it; it fell asleep in the house of the high mysteries and fell down because of the deep sleep of the spirit, and it remained with his body fallen; and I have always woken it up and raised it to life, so how Paul brought to life the young man who fell from above because of the heaviness and of the deep sleep that he was staying in.
