The Supposed Last Week Of The Earth, Part V

The people who believe the seventieth week of Daniel’s Prophecy is not yet fulfilled, will tell you that when Jesus returns to the earth that He will cause there to be no more sin. This is flat out wrong.

And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his place of confinement, And he will go forth to deceive and seduce and lead astray the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth--Gog and Magog--to muster them for war; their number is like the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:7-8 (Just a quick note: the teaching that the seventieth week has yet to occur also teaches that Gog, which is Russia, will attack Israel 3 1/2 years into the Great Tribulation. Yet Jesus tells us that this will happen at the end of the Millennial Reign, not right before it.)

Jesus also alludes to sin not being done away with during the Millennial Reign in His parable of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Matthew 22:11-13. Jesus tells us in this parable that when our Father comes to the Wedding that He will find people who are there who are not worthy, meaning that He will find people whose sins have not been covered by the Blood of Jesus. The reason that this applies to what we are studying here is because we are shown in Revelation 20:12-13 that our Father doesn’t physically come to dwell on the earth until the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ.

The Bible plainly shows us that sin will still be around long after Jesus has returned to the earth. There is a reason that Jesus has to rule with an iron scepter for the Millennium, Revelation 2:27. The Truth is that satan will be allowed to return from the abyss at the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ and millions of people who have lived under Jesus for a thousand years will follow him and they will sin, Revelation 20:7. So clearly Daniel’s prophecy of seventy weeks has to have already ended. The seventy weeks will not end at Jesus’ return to the earth as is so often preached. The Truth is that just because Jesus comes to rule, in no way means that all people want Him to be their Lord. Millions of people who live during His Millennial Reign will still have an evil heart, they just won’t be permitted to act on the evil until the end of the thousand years. Jesus on the Cross is the completion of the purging of sins that Daniel was told would occur in the prophecy of the seventy weeks. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of purging and reconciling our sins. Because of Jesus, the called and chosen of God are now eternally righteous through grace!

Our Father doesn't have to wait until Jesus returns to bestow His awesome gifts on us and He doesn't have to wait until Jesus returns to use us and be perfect;y united with us. The Blood of Jesus has accomplished all of these things already!
