A GLIMPSE OF THE GOLDEN AGE TO COME
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
Isaiah 65:17-25
Psalm 41
"Blessed is he that
considereth the poor…"
A GLIMPSE OF THE GOLDEN AGE TO COME
The new heaven and the new earth which God will create will come in the form of the Millennial Kingdom. Then, the physical world will be restored to a similar state as when God first created it. But sin will still be present. The capital of that kingdom of God will be Jerusalem.
During the Millennium, how will the human race go on propagating itself? As the curse is lifted, life expectancy will be immensely lengthened, perhaps to a thousand years, like the years of a tree (Isa 65:22). For to live up to 100 years would still be an infant. To die for one’s sin at 100 would be considered a curse. The sinful state seems to remain but greatly subdued. As peace will reign supreme, the people will live in full security. Not only in security, but also in happiness and prosperity, many generations together. One’s prayer would be quickly answered.
There would be a restoration of the animal kingdom as well. Literally wolves and lambs will live together in peace, because if the lion shall eat straw like the bullock, much more the wolf will revert to its herbivorous state. Even the serpent shall find food in the dust in which he crawls, so he will not strike death, being harmless. Romans 8:22: "…the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now," but then travail and pain will be a thing of the past (compare Isa 65:25 with Isa 11:6-9).
Dear Reader, are you hoping for that day to come? Then, they "shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Isa 11:9).
THOUGHT: (Read Revelation 20:6.)
PRAYER: I thank thee, Lord, for the hope that I can have beyond this world.
