27 Genesis Revelation's Millennium

Before this earth was created, it was a mass without form that was empty and dark. God created life and an atmosphere for it to survive in. But because of sin, someday this earth will be destroyed and will go back to its primeval, abysmal state during the Millennium. Pastor Bohr compares Revelation 20 with the seldom studied millennial prophecies of Jeremiah 4 and Isaiah 24 and shows how those who think that Jesus will rapture people secretly, and then seven years later will come down and rule for 1,000 years of peace here on earth, are simply mistaken. Rather, the evidence shows that the righteous will be in heaven judging the wicked, who are all dead during this period. It is satan and his angels who will be chained as in a prison to this empty and dark planet, with no one left to tempt, to think about the destruction and misery they have brought into the universe. Pastor Bohr demonstrates how the seven last plagues will reverse each step of creation back to where it started, and will fully devastate our planet into an uninhabitable place where no creature could even live during the Millennium. He reveals what the mysterious “bottomless pit“ is by examining the word as used in other places in Scripture that describes a place where both the living and the dead are cast. He also shows another method of how the year/day principle is demonstrated by comparing these Millennium texts. Isaiah says that men are responsible for the destruction of the earth because they have transgressed God's laws, changed His Sabbath and broken His everlasting covenant. Contrary to what many teach today, this sermon also shows that the flood story makes it clear that those who will be left when Jesus comes are those who are the righteous and those who are taken away and destroyed are the wicked. Satan wants men to believe in a Millennium of peace here on earth so he can fool them with his final masterpiece of deception in imitating the coming of Christ. Only after the 1,000 years are over will the New Jerusalem come down from heaven and God will recreate this earth back to Edenic perfection and make it the capital of the universe.
