21st Meeting - Discussion on Millennium continued.

We looked at all the Millennium Bible passages in the Bible starting with Isaiah and going through the New Testament. This gave us a better understanding of how Israel and Jesus will rule during this time. Deuteronomy Chapter 28 talks about the curses and promises that will befall Israel if they either stay true or turn away from God. This teaching will not be necessary during the Millennium. Israel will be under authority of Jesus as King of Kings, and Chief High Priest. Jesus will rule along the lines of Melchizedek who was both King and High Priest. All the nations of the world are to go to Jerusalem and worship Jesus during the feast of Tabernacles, and if they don't, Jesus would withhold rain from falling in their countries. This will be done to make all the nations of the world to understand there is only one God, and He is Lord of All. This is the reason that Israel was supposed to travel back to the Temple. The Jews were sent all over the world because of their unbelief in the Most High God. By making them have to come back to the Temple in Jerusalem, they were admitting that it was their unbelief and their refusal to do God's will that caused them to be dispersed. Now this will be the lesson for the nations.
