“The Day of the Lord - Phase 3 - The Millennial Kingdom - Christ, the King - Part 2"

As we have already seen here in our studies on “the Long War against God”, the many promises given to God’s people regarding the coming Kingdom must be interpreted literally.  The language used in those promises, from Gen. 49:10 to Num. 24:17 & 19 to 1 Sam. 2:10, etc., make that so clear.  Furthermore, as we have also seen, the Seed of the Woman promises beginning in Gen. 3:15 must have their fulfillment in the same person promised to fulfill much additional prophecy regarding a coming perfect Priest, Prophet and King.  Those promises have never been completely fulfilled though there have been “shadows” and very significant partial “fulfillments” in Biblical history, especially in Christ’s first coming to this earth as the God-Man, who was offered up as the Lamb of God for the sins of the world.  In our study today, we will finish this phase of our studies focusing especially on the many very concrete details scripture provides regarding this coming King and Kingdom and the essential spiritual AND (yes) physical nature of it.  Our ultimate focus will be on how the characteristics of that Millennial reign of our Lord Jesus will determine the way of life of believers living at that time.  The contrasts with our way of life today under the “fullness of grace” should literally “jump off the page”!
