Title: Joshua and Judges: Abrahamic Covenant and its fulfillment in the Millennium, part 8. PSA 45:1-7; 72:1-4; 9:6-7; LUK 1:31-33.

 

Announcements / opening prayer:

 

 

 

Outline of the Millennium, based upon Things to Come by J. Dwight Pentecost.

 

The Davidic, Palestinian, and New covenant(s) are expansions of the Abrahamic covenant. All are fulfilled in the Millennial age.

 

We defined each and gave scriptural references for each.

 

It is thus observed that the millennial age finds the complete fulfillment of all that God promised to the nation Israel.

 

During this age Satan is bound for one thousand years, REV 20:1-3. He has zero influence over the world.

 

There can be no theocratic kingdom without the personal manifested presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

The pro­phetic Scriptures state a number of ministries and manifesta­tions associated with the Messiah at His second advent. 

 

The millennium will be the period of the full manifestation of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is glory associated with His humanity, dominion, and government.

 

There will be the mani­festation of glory associated with the humanity of Christ. There will be the glory of a glorious dominion, in which Christ, by virtue of his obedience unto death, is given universal dominion to replace that dominion which Adam lost. There will be the glory of a glorious government, in which Christ, as David’s son, is given absolute power to govern.

 

 PSA 2:8-9

'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance,

And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.

'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron,

Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'"

   

PSA 45:1 My heart overflows with a good theme;

I address my verses to the King;

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

 

PSA 45:2 Thou art fairer than the sons of men;

Grace is poured upon Thy lips;

Therefore God has blessed Thee forever.

 

PSA 45:3 Gird Thy sword on

Thy thigh, O Mighty One, In Thy splendor and Thy majesty!

 

PSA 45:4 And in Thy majesty ride on victoriously,

For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;

Let Thy right hand teach Thee awesome things.

 

PSA 45:5 Thine arrows are sharp;

The peoples fall under Thee;

Thine arrows are in the heart of the King's enemies.

 

PSA 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom.

 

PSA 45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness;

Therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee

With the oil of joy above Thy fellows.

 

[go to]

PSA 72:1 Give the king Thy judgments, O God,

And Thy righteousness to the king's son.

 

PSA 72:2 May he judge Thy people with righteousness,

And Thine afflicted with justice.

 

PSA 72:3 Let the mountains bring peace to the people,

And the hills in righteousness.

 

PSA 72:4 May he vindicate the afflicted of the people,

Save the children of the needy,

And crush the oppressor.

 

ISA 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;

And the government will rest on His shoulders;

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

 

ISA 9:7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom,

To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness

From then on and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord  of hosts will accomplish this.

 

ISA 11:4

But with righteousness He will judge the poor,

And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;

And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

 

There is a glorious inheritance - the land and the seed (the people).

 

GEN 17:6 "And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you.

 

GEN 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

 

GEN 17:8 And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

 

GEN 15:5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."

 

GEN 15:6 Then he believed in the Lord ; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

 

GEN 15:7 And He said to him, "I am the Lord  who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it."

 

Glorious judiciary - God’s will and law.

 

DEU 18:18 'I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.

 

DEU 18:19 'And it shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.

 

Further light is shed on just who this prophet is as well as the pronouncement of "I will require it from Him," the one who will not listen to the words that the Father will give Him to speak…

 

ACT 3:22-23

"Moses said, 'The Lord God shall raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren; to Him you shall give heed  in everything He says to you. 'And it shall be that every soul that does not heed that prophet shall be utterly destroyed [cut off] from among the people.'

 

In this age the "cutting off" is a spiritual reality. In the Millennial age it will be both a spiritual and a physical reality. He will rule with a rod of iron.

 

The unbeliever is allowed to survive in the Millennium since we see many of them rise up in revolt against Him at the end, but for those who break His laws, they will be cut off.

 

ISA 2:2 Now it will come about that

In the last days,

The mountain of the house of the Lord

Will be established as the chief of the mountains,

And will be raised above the hills;

And all the nations will stream to it.

 

ISA 2:3 And many peoples will come and say,

"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord ,

To the house of the God of Jacob;

That He may teach us concerning His ways,

And that we may walk in His paths."

For the law will go forth from Zion,

And the word of the Lord  from Jerusalem.

 

ISA 2:4 And He will judge between the nations,

And will render decisions for many peoples;

And they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not lift up sword against nation,

And never again will they learn war.

 

If one nation has a problem with another nation it will not result in conflict or war, which has been the norm all throughout our age.

 

ISA 33:22

For the Lord  is our judge,

The Lord  is our lawgiver,

The Lord  is our king;

He will save [deliver] us —
