Heaven ( The place of everlasting paradise) Part 15

INTRO: We have come, in these messages, to the time of blessedness promised again and again in both the Old and New Testaments. Peace and righteousness are key words describing this time. Man will be at peace because the Lord Jesus will rule. We saw that in Isaiah 9. We read in the last message, Isaiah 11:1-9. It pictures the animal world at rest. No more dog eat dog, or lion eat lamb. The Lord Jesus envisioned that day in His teachings. Paul pictured that day in his teachings. Turn to Romans 8:18-23 (read).

In these messages, that time is about to begin. In the last message we looked at the transition from the tribulation to this time. We recommended that in those first 30 days spoken of by Daniel the prophet a number of significant events will happen. Satan will be bound. Then all those who are left alive after the tribulation will be gathered together to be judged. The unrighteous are cast into hell and the righteous are invited by the Lord Jesus to enter this millennial kingdom (Matt. 25). At this time, the Christians who died in the tribulation, along with OT saints are resurrected and they, along with the Church, live and reign with Christ for 1000 years. What an incredible transition!
