“Will the Millennial Kingdom Reveal God’s Ultimate Plan for Israel and the Church?” 1.The Reign of King Jesus from Jerusalem: Jesus will rule from David’s throne in Jerusalem, fulfilling the Davidic Covenant. •Luke 1:32-33: “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.” •Zechariah 14:9: “And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.” 2.Jerusalem as the World’s Spiritual Center: Jerusalem will be exalted as the center of worship, and all nations will go there to learn God’s ways. •Isaiah 2:2-3: “For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” •Zechariah 14:16-19: Nations will go up year by year to worship the King and celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 3.Restoration of Israel: God will gather the Jewish people, restore them to their land, and they will serve as a light to the nations. •Genesis 15:18-21: “To your offspring I give this land…” •Isaiah 61:6: “But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God.” 4.Temple Worship Restored: The Millennial Temple will be built, and worship will be conducted as a memorial to Christ’s sacrifice. •Ezekiel 40-48: This extensive vision describes the dimensions and regulations of the Millennial Temple. •Isaiah 56:7: “For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” 5.Fulfillment of Jewish Feasts: The Jewish feasts will take on prophetic and memorial roles, pointing to God’s plan and the Messiah’s work. •Zechariah 14:16: “Everyone who survives of all the nations… shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths.” 6.Tribal Land Inheritance: The twelve tribes of Israel will receive their promised inheritance in the land. •Ezekiel 48:1-29: A detailed account of the land division among the tribes. •Amos 9:14-15: “I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted.” 7.The Apostles and the Gates: While the gates of the New Jerusalem are named after the twelve tribes of Israel, the foundations of the city walls are named after the apostles. This reflects the unity of God’s plan for Israel and the Church. •Revelation 21:12-14: “And on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed… and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” This magnificent kingdom displays God’s faithfulness to His covenants and the perfect unity of Israel and the Church in His eternal plan.
