Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth,

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.400
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.600
Hey you guys, we're going to be talking about the Millennium.

4
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:13.200
Questions are being asked about it.

5
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.940
We're going to be talking about some questions about regarding why and what happens to someone

6
00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:26.440
who perhaps experiences the Millennium at the end when Satan is loose for a little

7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.440
season.

8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.440
What?

9
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.500
The Bible says Satan will be loose for a little season.

10
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:31.500
What for?

11
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.640
Let's see why.

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:42.040
You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

14
00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:51.320
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.800

00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.880
And that rating will encourage others to listen.

17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.400
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you.

18

Here is Jack Hibbs.

19
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.400
Hey you guys, welcome back to our podcast.

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.680
And we are going to deal with a couple of questions I hope.

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:19.280
This is a response to the just the remarkable amount of email that we've got from you guys,

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.160

And we mean this so much.

30

Have you noticed?

31
00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:48.600
We're not asking for money.

32
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.960
I know other podcasts, other people do.

33
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.960
That's their business.

34
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:52.960
It's not mine.

35
00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:53.960
I'm not judging them.

36
00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:57.840
The point is, I'm trying to figure out how can we best communicate to you that we're

37
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.120
in this for realsies, okay?

38
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.920
We're not here to pretend or play games.

39
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.920
We're not here to make a nickel off of you.

40
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.520
So here's a deal.

41
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:11.760
Regarding the end time events and regarding the millennium, which is the thousand year

42
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:21.080
reign of Christ, which the Jesus of the Bible must fulfill or you've got the wrong Jesus.

43
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.280
The Jesus of the Bible has to sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem.

44
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.480
According to the prophecies given to King David, his son will sit on the throne forever.

45
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:35.760
His descendant will reign over Israel forever.

46
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.720
That's never happened.

47
00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.400
Jesus is the son of David.

48
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.440
Is he not?

49
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:45.080
Jesus will sit on the throne for a thousand years.

50
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:52.600
And after the thousand years, the Bible tells us, and here's your question, see ya.

51
00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:53.600
Love the name.

52
00:02:53.600 --> 00:03:03.240
See IA as long as it's a name and not an acronym.

53
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:09.120
Why does Satan have to be let loose after the millennium for a little while?

54
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.920
Great question.

55
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.760
The Bible actually answers it.

56
00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:19.600
Read Revelation 21 and 22 more closely, because here's why there are mortals born into,

57
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:20.840
this is incredible.

58
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:27.800
There are mortals born into the kingdom, meaning that those who are living on earth at that

59
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:34.320
time as mortals, we've already talked about some of the characteristics about that.

60
00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:40.640
They'll be farming, they'll be cities, they'll be rain, they'll be sun, they'll be days,

61
00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:47.880
they'll be seven days a week, they'll be worship, they'll be kings, they'll be leaders

62
00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:48.880
of nations.

63
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:56.160
In fact, the Bible tells us that the leaders and the kings of nations will bring their wealth

64
00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:58.920
to the Lord in Jerusalem as an offering.

65
00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:09.240
In fact, God says there that during the millennium, if a leader of a country, of a nation refuses

66
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.680
to honor the government of Jesus, remember that the thousand year reign, you know the

67
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:22.320
U.S. President is supposed to have four years in his election or in her election.

68
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:26.320
The millennium is a thousand year reign, it's a thousand year politics, the thousand year

69
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.920
politics of Jesus, not man, it's awesome.

70
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.840
So during that period of time, there are people born, there are people dying.

71
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:42.840
But during that time, as you approach the end of the thousand year reign, it says, you're

72
00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:44.920
right, Satan's loose for a little bit.

73
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:45.920
Why?

74
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.160
You would say, well, what good is that?

75
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:56.240
Satan will be released and he will tempt the world.

76
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.720
And he will sway people, just like he's doing today.

77
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:07.880
He will sway those people who are open to his lies and they don't like Jesus.

78
00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:09.920
They live on the earth, but they don't like them.

79
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.960
Remember, God's put within us a free moral agency.

80
00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:15.480
There's going to be those that live in the millennium.

81
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.840
They're going to actually be on earth with Christ and they're not going to like them.

82
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.560
Even though Satan's bound, why aren't they going to like them?

83
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.840
Because they have an unredeemed wicked nature.

84
00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:30.200
Even though they said number one, Satan's bound and they're still going to sin against God.

85
00:05:30.200 --> 00:05:33.640
We don't need Satan to sin against God, right?

86
00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:37.360
For those of you who are older, way older, like me, remember, Flip Wilson, you used to do

87
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.240
that little skit and you used to say, the devil made me do it.

88
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.040
Well, when Satan's bound, no one's going to be able to say the devil made me do it.

89
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.800
When they sin, it's their own sin nature.

90
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.960
So God is going to allow Satan to be released from hell to deceive people on earth that

91
00:05:55.960 --> 00:05:57.960
is simply test them.

92
00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:03.160
And they're going to make a decision outright, I'm going to go with Satan.

93
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.280
And the Bible says that that will happen shortly, very, very quickly.

94
00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:12.840
And then Satan will be consigned to the lake of fire forever, okay?

95
00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:15.680
So I know it sounds crazy, but just back up.

96
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.800
It doesn't involve you, doesn't involve me.

97
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.200
We are already with Christ glorified, we're the bride of Christ.

98
00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:26.440
We are not in our mortal state, we are in our glorified state.

99
00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:34.480
Those living in the millennium, born and living and going to the office and going to the

100
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:41.120
fields and farming and those that are working and those that, whatever.

101
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.400
They will have a chance to obey Christ or not.

102
00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:50.440
And it just goes to show you that without Satan's mucking everything up, human nature is such

103
00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:54.960
that it will still say, I don't want this Jesus guy ruling me.

104
00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:59.200
Well, one more act of grace will be given.

105
00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:05.080
Don't consider the releasing of Satan an act of judgment by God.

106
00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:12.960
It's actually an opportunity given to an individual to exercise their choice.

107
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:18.280
God will not make you love him, God will not make you love Satan.

108
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:22.400
God will give you an opportunity and you're going to choose not you.

109
00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:23.400
I mean, you can choose today.

110
00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:26.680
I hope you're Christian, a real one.

111
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:27.680
Christ follower.

112
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.680
How about that?

113
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.960
Christ, if you are, you know what I'm talking about.

114
00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:34.280
If you're not a believer, you need to become a believer now.

115
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:40.960
But we're talking about people then, the people then even with Satan bound are still going

116
00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:44.880
to have a wicked heart that needs redemption.

117
00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:48.000
They'll either get a chance to come to Christ and accept Christ into their heart.

118
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.280
They'll be saved during the millennium.

119
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:50.280
They'll give their hearts to Christ.

120
00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:51.920
They'll be born again.

121
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.680
Think of that or they'll reject Christ.

122
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.320
Pretty remarkable.

123
00:07:56.320 --> 00:07:58.520
So I hope that answers your question.

124
00:07:58.520 --> 00:07:59.800
I personally can't wait.

125
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:07.760
On my laptop, I have a folder and I labeled it the millennium.

126
00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:12.520
And when you click on that folder, it opens up and there's various websites there.

127
00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:13.520
You don't need to know this.

128
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:17.880
I'm just telling you something that I hope gets you excited.

129
00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:26.760
When you click on these links that I've saved over the years, they are oil paintings from

130
00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:33.440
the famous paintings of Yesteryear and their particular paintings.

131
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:41.480
For example, in that, there's a couple of Rembrandt's and why do I like that?

132
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.520
Because he painted the millennium, his view of the millennium, according to scripture,

133
00:08:45.520 --> 00:08:51.120
there's one Rembrandt painting that it's like this.

134
00:08:51.120 --> 00:09:03.280
So you are me, you're in the museum, the portrait gallery, and you're looking at the painting.

135
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:12.840
And the painting is Jesus from, like, about his chest up, crucified, crown of thorns,

136
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:18.160
blood, nail through his hand right here.

137
00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:20.320
And you think, well, that's a weird painting.

138
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:31.480
Oh, listen, coming into the painting is Rembrandt holding the nail and driving the hammer.

139
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:36.600
He's extending himself into his painting, nailing Christ to the cross.

140
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.360
You see, Jack, that's gross.

141
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.360
No, it's not.

142
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.040
It's actually fantastic theology.

143
00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.640
My sins nailed Jesus to the cross.

144
00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:48.360
If you don't understand that personally, and how can you have them as a personal savior?

145
00:09:48.680 --> 00:09:50.160
What about Hitler?

146
00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:52.680
Who cares about Hitler?

147
00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:54.880
Hitler nailed Jesus to the cross.

148
00:09:54.880 --> 00:09:56.840
Well, what about the Pope?

149
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.880
He nailed Jesus to the cross.

150
00:09:58.880 --> 00:09:59.880
What about Billy Graham?

151
00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:01.600
He nailed Jesus to the cross.

152
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.600
What about Jack?

153
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.800
Jack nailed Jesus to the cross.

154
00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:06.040
You did too.

155
00:10:06.040 --> 00:10:09.760
Our sins nailed Christ to the cross.

156
00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:13.600
But in those paintings, and there's some great ones, by the way, for those of you who

157
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.320
are in the Virginia D.C. area, Potomac area, whatever.

158
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:27.400
If you go to the national portrait gallery, it's one of my favorites.

159
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:29.200
I always go there when I'm in D.C.

160
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.200
I just go there.

161
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.280
If I've got an hour, two, or three, or five, I go there.

162
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:38.640
It's on 801 G Street in Washington, D.C.

163
00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:46.480
I go to it, national portrait gallery, and I just go to that section, and you see massive

164
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.560
oil paintings of the millennium.

165
00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:53.720
The author, the author of the painting, the artist will say, the millennium, the reign

166
00:10:53.720 --> 00:11:00.960
of Christ, and you'll see what, in my eyes, because I'm a Californian, in my eyes, you

167
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.760
see what looks like Yosemite Valley.

168
00:11:04.760 --> 00:11:10.080
You see mountains rising up, waterfalls cascading into the valley.

169
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:21.200
You see deer painted in, lush vegetation, and this paradise on earth, clouds, and everything

170
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.280
as it ought to be.

171
00:11:23.280 --> 00:11:28.280
And there are various paintings by these greats that allow your mind, you just stand there

172
00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:29.280
for a moment.

173
00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:32.520
You just realize, oh my gosh, this painter had the millennium in mind.

174
00:11:32.520 --> 00:11:34.640
How accurate is that painting?

175
00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:39.480
And you'll be shocked to find out that those paintings are extremely accurate.

176
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.480
Some of them depict a desert in full bloom, a desert, according to the book of Isaiah when

177
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:54.000
Christ returns in the millennium, he will transform the deserts into a bouquet of color.

178
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.960
He will send forth streams in the desert, and the desert will blossom.

179
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.560
Isn't it crazy weird for those of us who live near?

180
00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:05.280
California has one of the most beautiful deserts in all of the world.

181
00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:06.800
I mean, that's sincerely.

182
00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:13.280
The Mojave is amazing, especially after a season like we've had where we had huge rains,

183
00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:14.280
why what's happened?

184
00:12:14.280 --> 00:12:16.080
It just explodes in color.

185
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.080
Here's the funny thing.

186
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:22.320
It may not rain there for three, four years, or five years, or eleven years, no rain.

187
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.560
And then it rains.

188
00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:33.920
And then within days, the desert gets a little velvet-green carpet.

189
00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:36.400
The desert and then flowers start coming up.

190
00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:40.720
You know those seeds have been in there for who knows how long?

191
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.280
And it's just so amazing.

192
00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:46.400
And I'll leave you with this just because it's cool.

193
00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:49.800
All of us are familiar with roses.

194
00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:54.520
But what you may not know, and this is the hand of God, what you may not know is that

195
00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:58.960
honor rose are the thorns.

196
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:06.200
Who, nobody likes rose thorns, nobody likes those things, they're wicked.

197
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:13.560
But did you know that that is a stunted blossom of a flower?

198
00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:16.760
Because it doesn't develop, it turns into a thorn.

199
00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:18.080
Did you know a cactus?

200
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.680
Think of a barrel cactus.

201
00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:25.680
That's the famous round cactus looks like half a circle.

202
00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:29.480
And it's got a million needles sticking out like this long.

203
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.000
Did you know all of those are underdeveloped flowers?

204
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.640
They never bloom.

205
00:13:34.640 --> 00:13:37.960
When Christ comes back, do you get my point?

206
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.680
Cactus are going to explode with color.

207
00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.720
That's in the millennium.

208
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.240
That's going to be an incredible thing.

209
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.200
So you guys listen, as always, I know we're ending a little bit short as far as I know,

210
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.240
watching the clock.

211
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:55.240
You guys, it's so important that you hit subscribe, so important that you hit like.

212
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.240
That helps us.

213
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.800
We want to see these podcasts move up in the ranks for one reason, this reason.

214
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:03.040
For God so loved you.

215
00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:09.120
For God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever that includes you

216
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.440
would not perish.

217
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.000
That is die and go to hell.

218
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.120
Would not perish but have everlasting life.

219
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.080
That's eternal life with Jesus forever.

220
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.440
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but God sent His Son

221
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.720
into the world to save the world.

222
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:32.280
The Bible says that and this is the condemnation that God sent His Son as the light of the

223
00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:33.280
world.

224
00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:38.680
But men love darkness rather than light, lest their evil deeds be exposed.

225
00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:45.280
But the Bible tells us if we come to the light, as He is in the light, He cleanses us from

226
00:14:45.280 --> 00:14:47.000
all sin.

227
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:52.520
So that if we confess our sins, He's faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and

228
00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:55.960
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

229
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.640
