Introduction to The Coming Golden Age

That is the introduction of my latest e book, The Coming Golden Age: 31 Ways to Be Kingdom Ready. It explores Christ’s 1,000-year reign on earth and is supposed to encourage, encourage, reply your questions, and convey readability to God’s Millennial plan.

I’ve been fascinated by biblical prophecy all my life, and nothing encourages me greater than God’s predictions in regards to the future. However I don’t make many predictions myself. The Bible is infallible; I’m not. But I’m going to foretell proper now that studying this e book will make you’re feeling just like the farmer I examine in Kentucky.

Is Christianity Good for the World?

3 Major Views of the Millennium: Understanding Biblical End Times Prophecy

Why Should Christians Want to Help the Poor?

We don’t know his title—he hasn’t divulged it, nor the precise location of his farm. However we all know what he discovered. Whereas digging in his cornfield final yr, he noticed a glint of gold. It was a coin. As the person wiped away the dust, he was astonished to find a twenty-dollar Double Eagle coin from the 1860s.

“After I flipped the primary clump of dust,” he stated, “over the subsequent forty-five minutes to an hour, the cash stored coming. I knew it was a whole lot.”

In all, the farmer uncovered greater than seven hundred Civil Warfare period cash simply beneath his corn patch. Most of them had been minted between 1840 and 1863. Just a few had been silver, however most of them had been gold.

Somebody way back had buried the cash to guard them throughout the conflict. For causes unknown, they had been by no means retrieved till our anonymous farmer actually struck gold. Specialists say the outdated cash are price thousands and thousands of {dollars} in the present day.¹

I’m feeling type of like that farmer. I’ve lived in my Bible for years with out totally appreciating the hoard of golden cash mendacity simply beneath the floor. Just lately I’ve been digging them up—a whole lot of verses in regards to the coming Golden Age, the approaching thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ on this planet. Some commentators say it’s the single most talked about topic in all of God’s Phrase.²

Ten centuries when the world will likely be peaceable, affluent, and underneath the facility and authority of Jesus Christ!

This Millennium of time is ahead of us. It’s the epoch between our Lord’s return to this planet and the onset of the brand new heaven and new earth of the everlasting age.

This information is invaluable to us. It solutions our questions and anticipates our future. In case you’re wanting around the globe proper now, alarmed and afraid, I’ve acquired one thing fantastic to indicate you. In case you assume our planet is headed towards destruction, assume once more! The unfailing hand of the Lord Jesus Christ—the identical hand that’s guiding you—is directing the course of occasions on this earth.

It’s time to forged discouragement out of your life. In case you belong to Jesus Christ, you’re included sooner or later He’s designed. There’s a coming Golden Age, and it will get even higher after that!

In short, that is what’s going to occur. The Bible teaches that a great disappearance could occur any day now—the Rapture of the church from this planet. Jesus will come within the skies and name His folks upward to be with Him (1 Thess. 4:13–18). The vanishing of thousands and thousands or billions of individuals will traumatize the nations, resulting in a worldwide energy shift and worldwide conflict (Rev. 6:1–8). A crafty one-world ruler will emerge, triggering seven years of Tribulation on our planet (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 6–18).

The ultimate half of that interval will likely be harrowing past something identified to historical past. God’s wrath will fall on the earth in waves simply because the Antichrist is gathering the nations in opposition to little Israel (Rev. 15:1; Zech. 14:2). Jesus known as it a “nice tribulation, reminiscent of has not been because the starting of the world till this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matt. 24:21).

All this may climax within the final conflict in world historical past—the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:16). Simply when Israel seems on the verge of annihilation, Jesus Christ will seem within the sky and destroy the hostile forces of the Antichrist (Zech. 14:2; Rev. 19:11–16). Our Lord will actually converse the victory, and He’ll ship His folks.

We’ll be with Him. We’ll see this occur!

Jesus will then descend to the earth and His toes will contact the Mount of Olives, the hilly ridge on the east aspect of Jerusalem (Zech. 14:4; Acts 1:11). He’ll gloriously enter town of Jerusalem, assume the reins of world authorities, and reign for one thousand years (Rev. 20:4–6).

We name this the Millennium—the approaching Golden Age. It’s the dominion to return, the success of all the guarantees God made to Israel within the Outdated Testomony. It’s additionally the bridge of time that can take us into the everlasting enclaves of the brand new heaven, the brand new earth, and the eternal capital of New Jerusalem.

Sure, there’s loads to unpack about all this, which we’ll do in my new e book, The Coming Golden Age. However the basic sequence is simple sufficient for us to understand. This framework places all the things as a substitute so we are able to assemble the prophetic chronology in our minds.

First, the Rapture, which was the topic of my e book The Nice Disappearance.

Then a seven-year interval of Tribulation, climaxing within the battle of Armageddon.

After which Jesus will come once more and set up His kingdom promised all through the Bible. That thousand-year age will situation and put together us for our everlasting residence—heaven!

Rapture. Tribulation. Armageddon. Return. Millennium. Eternity.

Bought it? This e book is about that underappreciated millennial a part of the sequence.

As I researched all this, one thought struck me extra forcibly than every other. If the Rapture had been to happen in the present day, our world—together with you and me—could be solely seven years away from essentially the most exceptional and superb state we may ever think about on this fallen planet. I felt exhilarated by that. The Lord needs us to consider it. He has scattered passage after passage about this all through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and the quantity of biblical reality is very large on the subject of this future Golden Age.

Actually, the sheer quantity of prophetic Scripture on this topic might be overwhelming. To make it so simple as potential, I’ve damaged it down into thirty-one millennial info from the Bible. In case you learn one chapter a day for only a month, it’ll enable you to develop into kingdom prepared!

In The Coming Golden Age, you’ll uncover the world you’ve all the time needed, the place . . .

a brand new and improved Golden Metropolis of Jerusalem will develop into the capital of the world;
the earth will likely be characterised by holiness and world peace;
illness will likely be uncommon, and folks will stay for hundreds of years;
fierce animals will develop into as mild as home pets;
worship will likely be spontaneous, steady, and superb;
the nation of Israel will develop into the world’s main journey vacation spot;
Devil received’t be round to trouble us;
Jesus will actually reign over the world from His throne in Jerusalem, and He will likely be accessible to His folks.

If all that sounds incredible to you, it’s as a result of it is incredible. However it is usually true—it’s all there within the Bible. There may be nothing too laborious for God, and He all the time retains His guarantees. He has made quite a lot of them to Israel, particularly by means of the Outdated Testomony prophets and within the book of Revelation. He has a plan for our world, and He hasn’t forgotten it. He has a prophetic love for Israel, and He’ll deliver to move each phrase He has spoken.

Issues could seem bleak in the present day. Miserable headlines. Breaking information. Virulent evil. Curler-coaster politics. Rampant antisemitism and non secular persecution. Private fears and worries. However simply forward of us, maybe little greater than seven years from now, all that can change by the facility of our risen and reigning and righteous Lord Jesus Christ.

Simply seven years after the Rapture! That’s lower than two US presidential phrases.

Be a part of me within the fruitful fields of Scripture and let’s dig up the cache of golden verses ready for us simply beneath the floor. As we be taught extra of what God has forward for us, we’ll anticipate tomorrow with recent enthusiasm. We’ll await our Savior with higher longing. And we’ll relish the approaching Golden Age with elevated expectancy.

If you see what the Bible has to say in regards to the future, you’ll cease frowning in frustration and also you’ll begin shouting for pleasure.

There’s gold on this e book! Golden Bible verses a few golden age! So let me restate my opening prediction. I believe you’ll discover sufficient treasure within the pages to really feel similar to the rich particular person you actually are in Jesus Christ.
