—The Bible Describesit! —TheNewHeaven'sChildren Chapter 7! 7/86

1. FOR HE COMETH TO JUDGE THE EARTH: WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE WORLD, and the people with equity. (At last the World's going to have a thoroughly righteous & just King.) So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the Earth Thy glory! When the Lord shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory. (Some prophecy teachers interpret this Zion to mean old Jerusalem & Israel & the Jews, but we know that this means our Holy Space City—the New Jerusalem, the New Zion!)—When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms‚ to serve the Lord!

2. THE LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD, SIT THOU AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL! The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies! (This is what we'll be doing out of our Holy City above, hanging in the sky during the Millennium!)

3. THY PEOPLE SHALL BE WILLING IN THE DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: Thou hast the dew of thy youth!—PSALM 98:9b.102:15-16‚22. 110:1–3. (Hallelujah! Thank You Lord! Many will be willing to follow the Lord in that day!—And you'll be forever young & beautiful!)

4. THE LORD HATH SWORN IN TRUTH UNTO DAVID; He will not turn from it; of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore! (Hallelujah! You, my Children‚ are going to continue our Kingdom in both the Millennium & Heaven on Earth forever!)

5. FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN ZION; He hath desired it for His habitation (His Millennial Capitol, Jerusalem—the New Jerusalem, the Heavenly City!) This is My rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with Salvation: and her Saints shall shout aloud for joy! (What a beautiful picture of the Heavenly City, floating overhead during the Millennium! But you say‚ "They won't have any poor in Heaven!" Well, we're all poor, we would all be poor without the Lord. We are only rich because of Him.)

6. THERE WILL I MAKE THE HORN OF DAVID TO BUD: I have ordained a lamp for Mine anointed. His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish!—PSALM132:11-18.(Hallelujah!)

7. THEREFORE SAITH THE LORD‚ THE LORD OF HOSTS, the mighty One of Israel‚ ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries‚ and avenge Me of Mine enemies! And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed! (As we come into the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, all this has been accomplished already.)

8. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, THAT THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD'S HOUSE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS‚ and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (This is likening the Kingdom of God on Earth to a great mountain above all other kingdoms & nations.)

9. AND MANY PEOPLE SHALL GO AND SAY, COME YE, AND LET US GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people:—ISAIAH 1:24-28. 2:2-4a. (As you can see, the biggest job we have in the Millennium is to teach others about the Lord & continue to witness the Love of God, & invite them into His Kingdom of the Spirit.)

10. AND THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES, and their spears into pruninghooks: Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Wow! That will be the day!—No more war, no more armaments, no more weapons, no more killing! Praise God! They'll have to rework all those as much as they can, into useful instruments & tools for the farmers‚ which will be nearly everybody.)

11. AND IN THAT DAY SEVEN WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF ONE MAN, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name‚ to take away our reproach. (Remember that most armies are composed almost entirely of men, many of whom have been killed in Armageddon! So that most of the survivors will be women, who will need husbands & who will have to go back to the multiple marriages of the Old Testament days in order to have husbands & children. So boys, you're going to have a hey-day! But I know the women will like it—we do!)

12. IN THAT DAY SHALL THE BRANCH OF THE LORD BE BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS, and the fruit of the Earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel! (Here again are references to those survivors of the Battle of Armageddon.) And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy (blessed), even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: (Here again you have a picture of the survivors whom the Lord has blessed by permitting them to live on into the Kingdom of God on Earth during the Millennium.)

13. WHEN THE LORD SHALL HAVE WASHED AWAY THE FILTH OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ZION, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. (They are going to be holy women, by the time God gets through with them, these survivors of Armageddon!) And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies‚ a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. (Here you have flaming force-fields surrounding the dwellings of the righteous! Hallelujah!)

14. AND THERE SHALL BE A TABERNACLE FOR A SHADOW IN THE DAYTIME FROM THE HEAT, AND FOR A PLACE OF REFUGE‚ AND FOR A COVERT FROM STORM AND FROM RAIN. (Think of that!—Miraculous, supernatural, amazing dome-like force-fields to protect the righteous of the Earth so that the remaining wicked who rebel cannot harm them‚ neither the storms nor the rain of Earth!)

15. HE SHALL NOT JUDGE AFTER THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NEITHER REPROVE AFTER THE HEARING OF HIS EARS: BUT WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE POOR, and reprove with equity for the meek of the Earth: and He shall smite the Earth: with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked! And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins.—ISAIAH2:4b. 4:1-6. 11:3-5. (Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus! Praise the Lord! His Word is still going to be our greatest weapon, even throughout the Millennium‚ thank You Jesus!)

16. THE WOLF ALSO SHALL DWELL WITH THE LAMB, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

17. THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: for the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (Animals will no longer fight with each other or prey upon each other‚ & our children can have them for docile pets, who'll even understand language & can speak to us! There'll be no danger from the former varmints of the Earth, the Devil's pests. Nothing will hurt nor destroy in all God's Holy Kingdom!—Think of that!) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious! (That certainly is Jesus.)

18. LET MINE OUTCASTS DWELL WITH THEE, MOAB; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. (This is a very remarkable prophecy regarding the fate of the poor Palestinians who have been driven out of Israel as refugees into Jordan, which was once ancient Moab & Ammon, & a prediction that their Jewish oppressors will be destroyed.)

19. AND IN MERCY SHALL THE THRONE BE ESTABLISHED: and He shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. The Moon shall be confounded, and the Sun ashamed‚ when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously! (Hallelujah! Thank You Lord! Our Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem, towering 1500 miles high in its glory, its shining radiance will outshine the Sun & the Moon!)

20. O LORD, THOU ART MY GOD; I WILL EXALT THEE, I WILL PRAISE THY NAME; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth! For Thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. (Here, a prophecy of Babylon, the modern Babylon destroyed in the Battle of Armageddon & the judgements of God.)

21. THEREFORE SHALL THE STRONG PEOPLE GLORIFY THEE, THE CITY OF THE TERRIBLE NATIONS SHALL FEAR THEE! For Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall! (During the Atom War!) Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low!—ISAIAH 11:6–10. 16:4-5. 24:23. 25:1-5. (The great Superpowers will have been destroyed in that day & the poor of the Third World shall be saved!)

22. AND IN THIS MOUNTAIN SHALL THE LORD OF HOSTS MAKE UNTO ALL PEOPLE A FEAST of fat things‚ a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. (In this mountain of the Lord's house, the Holy City of God, towering 1500 miles high, the Lord is going to have great feasts for us, hallelujah! And the misunderstandings which prevail & veil the minds of people throughout the World today shall be removed & we shall know‚ even as also we are known, praise God!) (2Cor.3:16-18; 1Cor.13:12)

23. HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH IN VICTORY; AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the Earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Again, He says there will be tears, but thank God He will wipe them away with His joy!) And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His Salvation! For in this Mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest‚ and Moab shall be trodden down under Him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. (God's mountain, Space City, will tower over all, & any former enemies will be subdued.)

24. AND HE SHALL SPREAD FORTH HIS HANDS IN THE MIDST OF THEM, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and He shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust! In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; we have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks!—ISAIAH 25:6-12. 26:1. (Hallelujah! Thank You Lord! The cities of the wicked being destroyed! We have the strongest City that ever existed‚ in God's holy New Jerusalem‚ our Space City!)

25. OPEN YE THE GATES, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS NATION WHICH KEEPETH THE TRUTH MAY ENTER IN! Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: For He bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city‚ (—not our City, but Babylon, modern World-wide Babylon!) He layeth it low; He layeth it low, even to the ground; He bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.—ISAIAH 26:2-6.

26. FOR WHEN THY JUDGMENTS ARE IN THE EARTH, THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS. (We're going to teach a lot of people the ways of the Lord & to learn to love Him, that they might be saved.) Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. (Can you imagine that at a time like this, there are still going to be people so wicked they'll still refuse the Lord & reject His righteous rule & reign & rebel against Him? Think of it!—It just shows that they were wicked at heart all the time‚ & even though God has mercy on them, they still refuse to be righteous! The Millennium sure separates the sheep from the goats!)

27. LORD, WHEN THY HAND IS LIFTED UP, THEY WILL NOT SEE: BUT THEY SHALL SEE, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them! (The Lord's not going to put up with it, after giving them their chance & they still rebel, He's going to destroy them!)

28. LORD, THOU WILT ORDAIN PEACE FOR US: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us. O Lord our God‚ other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us: but by Thee only will we make mention of Thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast Thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish! (The Lord has destroyed all of our former oppressors & the evil nations & the wicked rulers that formerly ruled over us‚ & we're even going to forget them!)

29. THOU HAST INCREASED THE NATION, O LORD, THOU HAST INCREASED THE NATION: Thou art glorified: Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the Earth!—ISAIAH 26:9b-15. (Our Nation is going to be increased to cover the Earth—think of that! Praise God!—Our Nation of the Kingdom of God!—That's our Nation, that's our country, that's the Kingdom of which we are citizens!)

30. THINE EYES SHALL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY: They shall behold the land that is very far off. (You know, the Lord went to prepare for us a City, & it's been very far off until now it's very near by, thank the Lord!) Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see (New) Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken! (The righteous City of God & His Kingdom on Earth are here forever, thank the Lord!) And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Just think, nobody is going to be sick any more amongst us, the Saints of God! Thank the Lord!)

31. THE WILDERNESS AND THE SOLITARY PLACE SHALL BE GLAD FOR THEM; AND THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE, AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE! It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it‚ the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God! —ISAIAH 33:17,20,24. 35:1,2. (Wow! Think of that!—The deserts are going to all turn green & beautiful with flowers & be as glorious as Lebanon once was, when it was covered with beautiful forests of giant fir trees, like Carmel & Sharon, two of the most beautiful parts of Israel even to this day!)

32. FOR IN THE WILDERNESS SHALL WATERS BREAK OUT, AND STREAMS IN THE DESERT! And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons‚ where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. (Wow! No more deserts! The ground of the Earth itself will be healed!)

33. AND AN HIGHWAY SHALL BE THERE, and a way, and it shall be called The Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men‚ though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there‚ nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there!—ISAIAH 35:6b-9. (Now where could that be but the Highway to Heaven & the streets of the City through which we will fly! Hallelujah!—Amen?—Are you ready to go?)
