06 26 2024 Judgment in the Millennium · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
• 0:06
  is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
• 0:10
  of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
• 0:15
  us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
• 0:20
  of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
• 0:25
  live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
• 0:31
  author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:34
  It is Wednesday, June twenty six, twenty twenty four. Hello,
• 0:38
  my name is Elle David Harris. I am your host, and this is

• 0:46
  is no exception. We are continuing in the final week of our Lesson study
• 0:50
  series the Great Controversy, and our caption for today is Judgment in the Millennium.
• 0:57
  So yesterday we were talking about the millennium on planet Earth, and now
• 1:02
  we're going to talk about the judgment in the millennium. And I promise you
• 1:04
  it's good news. It's great news. Actually we'll get into that in just
• 1:08
  a moment, but first i'd like to say welcome to you and ask you
• 1:11

• 1:17

• 1:29
  to get one final spot there in the Your Daily Portion coaching program that begins
• 1:34
  tomorrow. Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Bather
• 1:40
  in Heaven, thank you for giving us the opportunity to open up your word
• 1:44
  today. Thank you for your Holy Spirit who has been so kind to teach
• 1:49
  us what you have commanded. Father, Please help us to be looking forward
• 1:53
  to the day where there will be no more sins, sinner's sickness, disease,
• 1:57
  or anything of the sort, but where love will prevail finally one hundred
• 2:01
  percent of the time everywhere in the universe. In Jesus name, I pray,
• 2:06
  Amen and Amen again. Judgment in the millennium. Now, let me
• 2:10
  just say, yesterday there were two things that went wrong as far as I
• 2:15
  am concerned. Number One, I never said, what does millennium millennium mean?
• 2:22
  There are people who like me sometimes we take for granted that people know
• 2:24
  what it is or you are going to look it up. So millennium millennium
• 2:29
  means one thousand year period of time. Okay, So it's a thousand year,
• 2:34
  real, literal year period of time. Okay. That's the first thing.
• 2:37
  And secondly, I broke my own rule. Sometimes we get caught up
• 2:42
  in the facts and figures and don't get to the spiritual reality of what we're
• 2:46
  talking about. And so I gave you a lot of discussion about what would
• 2:50
  happen with the devil and formlessness and void, and how it relates to the
• 2:54
  sanctuary, how it relates to the Genesis account. But I never said what
• 2:59
  the whole purpose of it is. Can I just say it right here?
• 3:01
  I think there is a song Jesus paid it all all to him. I
• 3:06
  yo, Sin has left a crimson stain, but he washed it white to
• 3:10
  snow. So really the crooks of the matter of yesterday, with the devil
• 3:14
  having nothing to do on planet Earth, is that God kept his promise.
• 3:19
  I'm going to focus right there for a moment. God kept his promise.
• 3:22
  He said, the accuser of the brethren is cast down. Who does accuse
• 3:28
  those people? Both day and night. He's cast down, and we see
• 3:32
  the full material reality of that in the discussion of what happens during the thousand
• 3:38
  years on planet Earth. The devil cannot tempt anybody because there ain't nobody to
• 3:44
  tempt. The wicked people who have sided with him are in the grave.
• 3:46
  He's by himself. The holy people who decided, mmm, I'm gonna follow
• 3:52
  Jesus. Those people are now in heaven, and we'll talk about that here.
• 3:55
  But the fact is that Jesus kept his promise. The devil is cast
• 4:01
  down, and guess what. We get to live throughout the ceaseless ages of
• 4:08
  eternity and don't have to worry about anything going wrong ever again. No more
• 4:15
  sin, no more sickness, nothing to disrupt the beauty of love and peace.
• 4:23
  And so we now go into Revelation chapter twenty, continuing the discussion beyond
• 4:30
  Earth. Now we go to Heaven. We go to that real place called
• 4:33
  heaven, And beginning at verse four of Revelation chapter twenty, we read,
• 4:39
  and I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
• 4:44
  unto them, And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
• 4:47
  witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
• 4:51
  worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received His mark upon their
• 4:58
  foreheads or in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ. They
• 5:03
  did what lived and reigned. Wait a minute, I think earlier in Revelation,
• 5:10
  it says that God would give people to sit on his throne, even
• 5:15
  as he has overcome and is set with God and his throne, God our
• 5:20
  Father, in his throne. He's promised that humans would be able to do
• 5:25
  what sit on thrones. And this is what he's doing. He's fulfilling his
• 5:30
  promise. And it says that they did not worship and reigned with Christ for
• 5:38
  a thousand years verse five. But the rest of the dead lived not again
• 5:43
  until the thousand years were finished. Who are the rest of the dead?
• 5:47
  Remember, the Bible says, as it was in the days of Noah,
• 5:50
  so shall it also be when the coming of the Son of Man is Ah.
• 5:56
  They were eating and drinking until the day that they entered into the ark,
• 5:59
  and the flood came and took them all away. And so the question
• 6:02
  is when someone is taken. It says that there will be like two in
• 6:10
  the field, one shall be taken and the other shall be left. The
• 6:14
  question is who is taken and who is left? And his disciples, Jesus'
• 6:19
  disciples asked that very question when Jesus was having this conversation that I just jumped
• 6:25
  into, and he said, well, where the eagles are gathered, or
• 6:30
  the vultures are gathered, or the birds of prey are gathered, so are
• 6:34
  the carcasses. So carcasses are what dead. So those who are taken are
• 6:41
  God's people taken? God's people like on the ark, who was taken into
• 6:46
  the ark? God's people who remained? Or who was left? Those who
• 6:51
  did not come into the ark? Who are those people? People who chose
• 6:55
  to not love God? Those people are left, and so soh When it
• 7:00
  says here the rest of the dead live not again, those are the people
• 7:04
  who were left. Those are the people who did not go to heaven,
• 7:11
  who were not in the Ark of safety, who were not in relationship with
• 7:15
  God at the time that Jesus Christ came. They will have already made their
• 7:18
  decisions. Those who were filthy remained filthy. And those individuals who decided that
• 7:25
  they loved self or the devil or whatever it is in place of God.
• 7:30
  Those individuals decided on their own and those individuals at this time during the thousand
• 7:35
  years are what in the grave. Okay, And so it says here a
• 7:41
  thousand years are finished. The rest of the dead lived not again until the
• 7:44
  thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. So the first resurrection
• 7:48
  is where God's people go to heaven along with others who were God's people at
• 7:53
  other generations. Okay, Okay, Blessed and holy is he that hath part
• 7:59
  in the first resurrection. On such the second death have no power, So
• 8:03
  that means we're saved, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ
• 8:09
  and shall reign with Him for a thousand years. May I just say,
• 8:15
  very clearly and simply, we only have just under a couple of minutes left
• 8:20
  during the thousand year period. Notice I did not say it takes a thousand
• 8:24
  years. I said during the thousand year period where God's people are in heaven
• 8:30
  and we are on thrones in air quotes. This means that God is going
• 8:35
  to open up the books of record where everything is faithfully chronicled for every human
• 8:43
  that ever lived on planet Earth. In those individuals who chose not to love
• 8:48
  love. We will see the record of the many millions of times I just
• 8:54
  added that number, the many times that God beg them to come into relationship
• 9:01
  with him, where God made opportunities for them to turn away from sin and
• 9:07
  toward love. We will see that God is just, that God is holy,
• 9:11
  that God did everything through the power of the Holy Ghost. He did
• 9:15
  everything that he could have done, short of forcing people, which is not
• 9:20
  according to his nature. He did everything that he could have done to save
• 9:24
  our friends, our loved ones, people we do and do not know,
• 9:28
  and they said no to God. We will see there that just and holy
• 9:31
  are God's ways, and we know that during that time all things will be
• 9:39
  laid bare until the thousand years are finished. Have a wonderful day, Peace.
• 9:45
  Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by
• 9:48
  bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
