Some Christians believe there shall be salvation during millennial kingdom beyond Christ's coming. They need solid evidence or proof from the Bible to prove it.
There is not a single proof verse find anywhere in the Bible saying there shall be other opporunity or chance for a person to become saved beyond the end of the age or Christ's coming.
Matthew 28:19-20 - "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatosever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway,
even UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. Amen."
Christ commands us, we must go and preach the gospel to the world, and behold, He is always with us TILL THE END OF THE WORLD.
Matthew 24:14 - "And THIS gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
SHALL THE END COME."
Christ tells us, we are preaching the gospel of the eternal life and wonderful news of Jesus Christ & salavation, this gospel will be continue reach to all nations of the world TILL the end of the age to come.
Dispensationalism teaches there are seven ages from creation to millennium: 1. Innocence 2. Conscience 3. Civil Government 4. Promise 5. Law-Israel 6. Grace -Church 7. Millennial Kingdom
I realized that premillennialism is merge with dispensationalism because of salvation issue. Dispensationalism teaches there is different kinds of salvation plans throughout seven ages. It teaches, during Old Testament period, there was no grace, they were keeping the law with faith. It was conditional salvation. When Christ came to earth for to died on the cross, then we are now under the grace, not under the law anymore. Also, it teaches, when the Holy Spirit lefts as the Church raptured. Then, the grace will be gone. These people who will miss rapture, and not have chnace to receive the grace. So, theey have to keeping the golden rules, stay faith in Christ, refuse receiving the mark, neither worship the beast. They will have difficult times ahead without grace, will face conditional salvation.
Also, it teaches, when Christ comes, these people who will miss rapture, and shall be survived and remain left with flesh or body, who refuse receive the mark or worship the beast, shall enter into millennial kingdom for ANOTHER chance of their salvation beyond Christ's coming. These shall have animal sacrifices during millennial kingdom, and will be forced to worship before their King-Jesus. Many will be die during millennial kingdom.
These are unbiblical, and these are man-making doctrine.
The Bible tells us, there is the only two ages of God's plan from the creation to the end.
They are called, "This age" & "Age to come".
Right now, we are in this present age, it have been occuring since from the creation to today. This present age shall be end by follow at the coming of the Lord. Then the next age to come shall be eternality.
There are list of verses in the Bible mentioned of "this age":
*Matthew 12:32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither
in this world,..."
*Matthew 24:3 - The signs of this present age will proceed toward the end
*Matthew 28:20 - Christ always be with us TILL the end of the age
* Mark 10:30 - The present age is an age of homes, fields, jobs, and families
* Luke 18:30 - Material rewards of this present age
* Luke 20:34 Marriage are given during this preseent age
* Romans 12:2 -We do not compromising with this present wicked world
* 1 Corinthians 1:20 - Philosphy of this present age
* 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 - Widsom and rulers are of this present age
* 2 Corinthians 4:4 - Satan is the prince or god of this present age/world
* Galatians 1:4 - Evils are everywhere in this world/age
* Ephesians 1:20-21 - Christ is now reign in this preseent age
* Ephesians 2:2 - Evils are presence everywhere in this present age/world
* 1 Timothy 6:17 - Our earthly or material of possession of this present age/world is temporary
Titus 2:12 - We are commanded to walking godly life in this present age
Now, there are list of verses mentioned of "age to come":
* Matthew 12:32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whososever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age,
neither in the world to come."
* Matthew 13:40 - the weeds will be thrown into the fire
* Mark 10:30; Luke 18:30 - Eternal Life is Reward
***Luke 20:35 - There shall be NO marriage in the next age to come - because we(followers) shall be like as angels, because of resurrection to be like Christ's(1 John 3:2)
* 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - People who doing evil things shall not enter eternality kingdom in the next age to come
***1 Corinthians 15:50 - Flesh and blood will NOT enter the eternality kingdom - next age to come
* Galatians 5:20-21 Those who doing wicked life will not enter eternal life - next age to come
* Ephesians 1:21 - Christ shall be continue reign in the next age to come - ETERNALITY
* Ephesians 5:5 - People who doing wicked shall not enter eternal life - next age to come
* 1 Thessalonians 2:12 We are commanded to walk godly life, so we can have eternal life - next age to come
* 2 Thessalonians 1:5 - Our faith shall make us worthy to enter eternal life into the kingdom of God - next age to come
* 1 Timothy 6:19 - Our store of our inheritance from above await for our eternal life with blessing and reward- next age to come
* 2 Timothy 4:18 - THe Lord shall bring us to eternality kingdom of God - next age to come
Also, the two ages is very clearly declared :
Matthew 13:39 - The harvest
IS the end of the age, and angels ARE the harvesters
Matthew 13:40 - The weeds shall be gathering together and thrown into the fire and burned at the end of the age - Judgment day
Matthew 13:49 - The angels will separate the wicked from the rightesous
Very simple and plain.
The sheep nations do not inherit the kingdom on Earth until the end of the millennium when Satan is released to reveal the "goat" nations.
The problem for premills on Matt. 25:31-46. There is not a single verse saying, "a thousand years".
Simple Matt. 25:31 says, "
WHEN the Son of man shall COME in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"
Simple, this verse tells us, WHEN Christ shall come again with his angels, He shall sit on the throne, and to judge the world. Obivously, it tells us, great white throne/judgment seat of Christ shall be presence to the world immediately right after Christ comes.
The sacrifices will be kept by both the sheep and the goats during the Millennium or they will receive no rain for their crops. Zech. 14:16-21
The problem is, there is not a single verse find anywhere in Zechariah chapter 14 saying, "a thousand years".
Notice, Zech. 14:21 says, "...and in THAT DAY there shall be NO MORE the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts."
Use common sense, this verse telling us, there shall be NO MORE sinners in New Jerusalem at that day(judgement day at Lord's coming).
"Canaanite" of Zech. 14:21 is the type of unbelievers
Let you know, there is split among amills on Zechariah 14. Some amills believe it already fulfilled at calvary. Some amills believe it shall be fulfilled follow at Lord's coming for the battle of armageddon.
I believe Zechariah chapter 14 speaks very clearly about armageddon and the coming of Christ.
I am aware that premills use Zech. 14:16 to prove that all nations who shall against Jersualem(armageedon), anyone who is left of all nations, shall go and worship the King, and to keep the feast of tabernacles year ot year(proof of milennial kingdom).
This verse 16 seems difficult to interpreting, but my view of this verse tells us, anyone of all nations - "every one that is LEFT of all nations" means, not all nations of 6 billion world population shall make it to enter into the eternality kingdom. "LEFT" of all nations - sheep who shall refuse worship the beast or receive the mark, shall enter the eternality kingdom to worship the King "year to year" as it shown there shall be NO END of worshipping the King. If you think verse 16 seems saying of millennial kingdom or temporary because of "year to year" saying so. Then, I ask you, WHEN worshipping the King will be END according to verse 16?????
Proving Zech. 14:16 as the proof or evidence of millennial kingdom is very flaw, because it doesn't mentioned, "a thousand years".
Later this week, I will discuss more on Revelation chapter 20. Premills always stress on Revelation chapter 20 is a literal timing and events follow Lord's coming. I will discuss more on Revelation chapter 20 later this week.
Have a nice day! God bless you!
In Christ
Rev. 22:20 -Amen!
