Message Description:

When we pray, “Thy kingdom come,” we are praying, in part, for the Millennium – The Coming Golden Age. This coming kingdom will be a thousand years unlike any period of time the world has experience.

for 1,000 years Satan will be locked up in the bottomless pit No Escape possible he will have absolutely no influence over anything that happens in the Millennium and we will still mess up but we’ll never be able to say the devil made me do it cuz he won’t have had any opportunity to do that he will be locked away for 1,000 years you say why would God do that well first of all he proves to us that we can’t blame Satan for everything we have sinful Natures don’t we and those sinful Natures also cause us to do things that
we shouldn’t do but the kingdoms of this world in that day will become the kingdoms of the Lord and of Christ and he shall reign forever and ever one day one day men and women the Lord Jesus will be king over the Earth he will reign for a thousand years and everyone who is a Christian will enter into that Kingdom and be with him to Reign and rule over planet Earth in the aftermath of World War I the Red Cross recruited American young men to travel to Europe to help the suffering masses over there and one Farm
Boy from Missouri caught the vision he was too young to apply but he forged the date on his birth certificate managed to join the Red Cross and he became an ambulance driver in France while there he fell in love with the charm and elegance of the French design and architecture and he took it all in the ornate chambers of the Palaces The Gardens and vers the paintings in the galleries it was just like magic to him it was overwhelming later this young man returned to Europe with his wife and continued to dream of creating worlds of
fantasy lands filled of kings and queens and castles and palaces and heroes and villains and Enchanted kingdoms today if you visit one of Walt Disney’s theme parks you will see royalty everywhere Mufasa The Lion King King Triton of The Little Mermaid Queen Leah Prince Charming and of course all the princesses like Snow White Cinderella Ariel Jasmine and so on now people call Disney Parks the happiest places on Earth but that’s not quite true I mean they’re also expensive tickets they’re long lines if you’ve
ever been there you know there’s frazzled parents trying to manage exhausted youngsters yet even children want to go because they believe there should be a place where royalty is good and kings are needed and happiness rules the day CS Lewis said our longing for these worlds indicate a true desire in the human heart for a world where everything would be as it should be behind the myths he said is an Ultimate Reality that pulls us onward and upward we all want a world like that we look at the world that we live in now and we realize
at least from my perspective I can’t remember it ever being this bad I came into the world toward the end of the second world war but even during the war there was excitement and patriotism to defend our nation and now you have to wonder we would have to fight another War if anybody would go and and fight the thing that goes on in our world today just seems to it’s a downgrade it’s not what we would hope we you know everybody says you know if you do everything right the world will get better our world is not
getting better and in our hearts we know that and the Bible says we groan for the coming of this new world in his book Miracles Lewis defin it as a real unfocused dream of falling on human imagination in other words we dream about a golden age for this world because there truly is a better world available somehow we know that in our hearts and we also know it from our Bibles there is a better world coming I’m not talking about heaven I’m talking about a better world on planet Earth today I want to tell you about a
coming Golden Age with the great and glorious King ruling over a happy Planet filled with noble people among whom will be all of you who are Christians during the past year I have been focusing on the great disappearance the return of Jesus Christ in the Rapture where we go up to meet the Lord in the air we also know that afterward the Earth will endure s years of tribulation leading to the final battle of Armageddon that’s when Jesus will appear as lightning in the sky returning to the Mount of Olives entering the city of
Jerusalem M and establishing his kingdom Revelation 19 describes the return of Christ and the defeat of the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon then we turn the page of Revelation 20 and there we read and I saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold of the dragon that Serpent of old who was the devil and Satan and bound him for a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit shut him up and set a seal on him so they should deceive the Nations no more
till the thousand years were finished and I saw Thrones and they sat on them and judgment was committed to them and they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years a thousand years is a millennium that’s what the word means Millie thousand in US years and it tells us that Christ is going to come back to this Earth and for 1,000 years he’s going to Reign on this Earth and it’s going to be a good experience it will be the Earth he intended us to have before sin happened it will reverse all the
curses that happened after Adam and Eve sin it will be a world like no other world I never really thought about this much I’m like most of you when you think of the Millennium you put it off in the future and you say oh that’s something I don’t need to know much about that that’s going to happen sometime away in the future but stop and take note if the Rapture came today within seven years you and I will be in the Millennium reigning on this beautiful new Earth with Christ over a world that you cannot
imagine how wonderful it will be for 1,000 years you say well is that really important for us to study this let me tell you something I’ve learned when the Bible says a lot about something you better study it a lot there is more information in the Bible about the Millennium than there is about any other subject that’s hard to believe and you probably don’t know that because a lot of the information is stashed in some of the Minor Prophets and in Isaiah and Ezekiel and some of it in the New Testament most of it in the
Old Testament we should give it our considerable attention because we’re potentially only 7 years away from experiencing this Kingdom ourselves we could be reigning with Christ within 7 years on planet Earth I remember when that took hold of my heart and I realized I should tell some people about this this is an incredible thought and this time on this Earth according to the Bible is going to be a time of Happiness Isaiah says it this way for you shall go out with joy and be led out with peace and mountains and the
hills shall Break Forth with singing before you all the trees of the field shall leap and clap their hands in the Millennium it’ll be a time of Global Peace Isaiah says the Nations will beat their swords into plowshares and their Spears into pruning Hooks and Nations shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn War anymore the Bible says we will study war no more there’ll be no armories there’ll be no guns there’ll be no Implements of war the Bible says we’ll take all of these
things and turn them into Implements of Agriculture can you imagine a world without the threat of war and then will be a time of prosperity everybody’s going to prosper in the Millennium listen to this this is from Joel the open pastures are springing up and the tree Bears its fruit and the Fig Tree and the vine yield their strength the threshing floor shall be full of Wheat and the Vats shall overflow with new wine and oil now remember this was an agricultural community so that’s how they would Express uh Prosperity but
here’s another one in the Bible it says during the Millennium the reaper will catch up with a planter in other words here’s a guy planting and and he looks around behind him and here’s a Reaper and they keep running into each other the planter and the reaper because God will bless the ground so much during the Millennium that you’ll hardly be able to keep up with the crops that will be produced on planet Earth and then it’s going to be a time of Harmony in nature everybody always likes to ask me this question are
there going to be animals in heaven we did a we did a little test at turning point when we were uh doing a series some years ago and we put out a bunch of emails to see which one would get the most response and one of the emails was the question will animals be in heaven it was responded to about five times more than any other thing that we had and you know it’s interesting because we have these statistics now that uh veterinarians are under supplied everybody’s got a dog I got two of them everybody’s got animals and we
can’t imagine well let me just help you with that first of all if the Millennium is the Prelude to Heaven here’s what it says in Isaiah 11 the wolf will lie down with the lamb and the leopard will lie down with the young goat and they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my Holy Mountain that’s hard to believe all the animals will be at peace this will be such a time of Peace even the animals will get along with each other and it’ll be a time of spiritual Revival Ral the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters
cover the sea now I’m going to tell you something that may surprise you many of us have actually been specifically praying for this time to come since we were children and we don’t even realize it do you realize that Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ will be the ultimate fulfillment of the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray say this out loud with me Our Father Who Art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors and lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from the evil one for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen now let’s go back to the top of that prayer where we pray your Kingdom Come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven every day millions of Christians utter The Lord’s Prayer in hundreds of languages in thousands of diverse settings and situation so it has been for the last 2,000 years no prayer has been more frequently spoken more meaningfully offered and more urgently
needed even now as you listen to this message someone somewhere is praying the 66 words of the Lord Lord’s Prayer and I want to suggest that when we pray thy kingdom come we’re praying for two things we’re praying for the kingdom of God to come in our hearts and we’re praying for it to come on Earth in this period of time we call the Millennium the golden age that is in front of us there are two phases to the coming of our Lord’s Kingdom the first is the present reality of the kingdom of
Grace the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ we are a part of God’s Kingdom now the kingdom of God is in our hearts we aren’t under any physical King we are under the king of Heaven and the kingdom is in our hearts I want to introduce you to a phrase Bible scholars used to describe the kingdom of God it goes like this already but not yet already the Kingdom’s in our heart but not yet is it on the earth one of these days when Jesus comes back and the tribulation is over Christ will set up his kingdom on
this Earth and it will be the ultimate answer to the Lord’s Prayer thy kingdom come on Earth as it is in heaven the word of God does say that the kingdom of God is a present spiritual reality at the same time it is an inheritance which God will provide for all of us who are Christians all Christians will go into the Millennium ultimately there will be sin in the Millennium and people wonder about that but how many of you know just because you’re Christians you don’t necessarily have Christian kids so when
they go into the Millennium and they have children some of them won’t be Believers some of them will rebel against God so there will be sin but it will be cared for quickly and dealt with by King Jesus when we pray thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven this is a petition for God to Reign this is a petition that’s in our heart this is that hunger I was talking about Lord this world is so messed up could you just come and take take over could you just come and make this world what you intended it to be when you
created it before sin entered Jesus began his preaching Ministry with the news of the imminent appearing of the kingdom of God he said repent for the kingdom of God is at hand he said let the little children come to me and do not despise them for of such is the kingdom of God he said the kingdom of God is within you that’s where it is right now he stood before Pilate and he said my kingdom is not of this world if my kingdom were of this world my servants would fight when the Holy Spirit descended on the 120 disciples in
the upper room in Jerusalem shortly after the Ascension of Christ the church came into sudden existence and the word Kingdom means the king’s domain so if you acknowledge Jesus Christ today you’re in the Kingdom When you pray for God’s Kingdom on Earth you’re praying for the spreading of the Gospel in this world and you’re praying for that time to come when all things will be made right and will be in a world governed by King Jesus that will be like nothing you can imagine the kingdom of Glory in the
upper room Jesus told his disciples I bestow upon you a kingdom just as my father bestowed one upon me so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on Thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel by his kingdom we mean first the kingdom of Grace which is in our hearts but we also mean the kingdom of Glory which is coming after the tribulation when King Jesus is on this Earth and it will be a time of spirituality too in the verses that we read earlier if you didn’t pick it up let me remind you Satan won’t be
here can I get a witness for 1,000 years Satan will be locked up in the bottomless pit No Escape possible he will have absolutely no influence over anything that happens in the Millennium and we will still mess up but we’ll never be able to say the devil made me do it cuz he won’t have had any opportunity to do that he will be locked away for 1,000 years you say why would God do that well first of all he proves to us that we can’t blame Satan for everything we have sinful Natures don’t don’t we and those sinful
Natures also cause us to do things that we shouldn’t do but the kingdoms of this world in that day will become the kingdoms of the Lord and of Christ and he shall reign forever and ever one day one day men and women the Lord Jesus will be king over the Earth he will reign for a thousand years and everyone who is a Christian will enter into that Kingdom and be with him to Reign and rule over planet Earth at least at the beginning there’ll be no unbelievers on the earth I can’t imagine that the talk
shows will be different the news casts will be different everything will be different Psalm 145 says that this way they shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts and the Glorious Majesty of his kingdom Obadiah wrote this he said the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near but on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance and there shall be Holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions and the kingdom shall be the Lords we should think of this whenever
we look at the map right now the brooding nation of Russia spreads from Central Europe to furthest Asia and beneath it is Mongolia and China nearby is India in the global South is composed of Africa Australia South America the United States States and its familiar boundaries rest between the Atlantic and Pacific with Canada above and Mexico below among the smallest nations is Tiny Israel only 71 miles at its widest point and a mere 263 miles from north to south I want to just take a moment and tell you that the Bible
says Those Who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed we need to support Israel this is not whether or not they deserve the land you know who how they got the land God gave it to them it was God’s land to start with he gave it to him and he’s not done and the Bible says that very soon the boundaries of Israel will stretch from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates and Zion will be the capital of the world Jesus will reign from his throne during the kingdom Jesus will be on his throne in Jerusalem during the
Thousand-Year Reign we’re talking about and all the nations will fall into place under his authority and peace will reign and the holy people will populate the government and a scepter of righteousness will be the scepter of his kingdom the millennial Kingdom will have no need for rescue missions or welfare programs or food stamps or relief agencies the world will flourish under the hand of the king of Heaven the Bible is filled with with Prophecies of a coming age of peace and prosperity and it will be a time when war will utterly
be unknown not a single Armament plant will be operating not a soldier or sailor will be in uniform no military camps will exist and not one scent will be spent for armaments of War not a single penny will be used for defense much less for offensive Warfare can you imagine such an age when all nations shall be at perfect peace all the resour sources available for enjoyment all industry engaged in the Articles of a peaceful luxury the venerable J Vernon McGee put it in his own words this way he said the Millennium is God’s answer to the prayer
thy kingdom come when we pray the Lord’s Prayer we say thy kingdom come in Earth as it is in heaven that is the kingdom which he is going to establish here on this Earth and it is called the Millennium whenever you pray the Lord’s Prayer you’re praying for that Kingdom to come back in the 1970s my friends Bill and Gloria Gaither were busy with family life and one evening they entertained two friends who told them about a sermon they’d heard from a preacher named Jim Crabtree Crabtree was so excited about
the return of Christ that he ended the sermon by walking through his congregation and shouting the king is coming the king is coming the king is coming after their friends left Bill and Gloria kept talking about the Glorious moment when the king will come amid a coronation processional so Bill sat down at the piano and composed a Melody while Gloria set aside her housework and wrote the lyrics to the song The King is Coming yes the king is coming but so is the kingdom and the Bible gives us some prayers that we can pray as we look
forward to that day one of them is the one we’ve been praying during this service your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven the second prayer is a one-word term I learned early in life because I grew up with the King James version of the Bible as many of you did and in the King James version of the Bible the Apostle Paul closed his first letter to the Corinthians with this word Maranatha and you know we have a Marin Church in our community maratha has survived as a word everybody knows about
but do you know what it means the word maratha means oh Lord come so the first prayer you can pray is thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven Lord and secondly maratha come Lord Jesus and then the last one is the last words of the New Testament where we read even so come Lord Jesus you know folks we don’t have much of an appreciation for the things that are going to happen in the future but let me tell you something they’re going to happen anyway and the more we can learn about them and the we
