You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Isa. 65:21-22
21 And they shall build [banah] houses [bayith], and
inhabit [yashab] them; and they shall plant [nata`] vineyards [kerem], and eat ['akal] the fruit [pariy] of them.
22 They shall not build [banah], and another ['acher]
inhabit [yashab]; they shall not plant [nata`], and another ['acher] eat ['akal]: for as the days [yowm] of
a tree [`ets] are the days [yowm] of my people [`am], and
mine elect [bachiyr] shall long enjoy [balah] the work [ma`aseh] of their
hands [yad]. KJV-Interlinear
21 And they shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall
also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit,
They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the lifetime of a tree, so shall
be the days of My people, And My chosen ones shall wear out the work of their
hands. NASB
The
remnant of believers, who survive the Tribulation, will undergo some sort of
miraculous genetic transformation.
Better then the vitamins we have today, this transformation will come
from Christ and will give them a much longer life font than we are use to
today.
Just
as trees can live for many hundreds of years, and some even for many thousands,
these folks will live for much, if not all, of the entire 1000 years of the Millennium.
Due
to the prosperity and stability, of the environment and economy of the
Millennium, people will be able to build, own, and enjoy all of their
possessions for all of their life.
Typically,
a home, when you purchase it, is either brand new, or it has been around for a
while. In most cases, you can live your
entire life in a home, and die, but the home remains, and becomes someone
else s possession.
Not
so in the Millennium. People will live
for such a long time, that even the most durable possessions will wear out,
before their life does.
This
is not a verse dealing with the relative durability of products of the
Millennium, but as in the previous verses, it serves to explain the tremendous
extensions of life fonts for people who will live through that period of
history.
It
might seem somewhat odd, that all of these folks were unbelievers at the moment
of the Rapture. They just missed being
members of the Royal Family, by the mere thought of faith in Christ.
But
having been through the Tribulation and having suffered most probably more than
anyone in history, and by sticking to their spiritual growth even during that
most difficult time in history, they are now the recipients of tremendous
rewards that will be a part of the Millennium environment.
They
will work at ease during their lifetime.
The will enjoy the full benefits of their own efforts. In other words,
they will be able to do the things that they want to do, and prosper at it, at
the same time.
How
many folks get the opportunity to do the things they love in life, and make a
living with them, at the same time? Not
many. Most folks work for someone
else. Most folks can t even make ends
meet from month to month. And so stress
and worry are constant plagues in our daily life.
Not
so in the Millennium.
Led
by truth, the general population will no longer be hoodwinked by the promises
of unscrupulous want-a-be leaders. Nor
will they be duped into supporting political agendas, crusades, or any other
philosophies designed to save humanity, or the environment, or drive some
standard or lifestyle, which might be popular in someone s view.
The
typical problems, which we face in the world today, won t even exist in the
Millennium. There won t be any wars, nor
starvation, nor famine, nor unemployment, even crime will be greatly reduced if
it exists at all. The world will consist
of only one nation, under Christ s rule, with a perfect environment, perfect
weather, and prosperity for everyone.
Long
lives and tremendous enjoyment and contentment from life, will be the status
quo. How could anyone possibly fail in
that kind of environment?
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
