Gail,
These "unprecedented" weather events will become the norm any time soon?
I hadn't really considered our ruling government's logo before James mentioned it: However I think it a stretch to be dogmatic about a piece of abstract art? Certainly I can see what looks to be an "S" as the first letter and the last being an "N". I have personally NEVER considered abstract art to be art, because it is occult? And I am very sure occultists will only push the boat out so far, as obviously if one could clearly read "Satan", then the game would be over! It is also interesting that this logo looks like a tree, and yes the Tree of Knowledge is inextricably linked with the fall of man in Genesis 3!!

Gail said...

Hi Colin,

I couldn't see Satan either but it did seem to have an “S” and “A (sorta)” and an “N” at the end. Yeah I've heard some talk on the tree as occult when the Olympics were happening . There was a lot of satanic stuff going on there. It is so hard to keep up with all the things that are going on. As for those unprecedented weather events they already are the norm?

It is unreal at all the things that are happening: Christians being killed more so than they have been in centuries, unprecedented weather events, animals dying, brain and flesh eating diseases, and on and on and on and I must ask: what about all those sink holes???. Matthew 24is certainly being fulfilled? I don't see how anyone could believe that we are not at least in the beginning of sorrows?

There is this guy on YouTube who calls himself “eternal rhythm flow”: he is a pre-tribber with a lot of followers and he made a video mocking those who think we are already in the seven year time frame. He sat there with his Latte and bragged how there was no tribulation at his house. I think acting like that is deplorable. He hasn't give one iota of thought or compassion to any of those folks living through those tribulations you've seen in the video's I've posted or to those Christians being killed every single day!!! There are so many filled with pride? The fall is going to be hard?

I was wondering... what is your take on the thousand years of Christ reign? Do you think it is literal or symbolical?

God Bless!!!

Gail said...

Hi James,

I took a look and a listen to most of those video's and sermons you suggested. That one fellow I listen too made me cry when he kept saying “wake up, wake up” it was so touching.

Yeah that Obama is a real piece of work. It seems his plans are coming together. It's not just his plans but he is making it happen: America is being torn down one stone at a time. Obamacare and the such are the end of America. He is not only a Muslim he is also communist. He hates white people and America. He is helping his grandmother and uncle in Kenya build mosque and turn everyone in the country into Muslims. I could go on for days!!!!!

God bless!!!

Gail,

L-I-T-E-R-A-L

Commencing at the Day of the Lord, after the darkest night of Israel's history, which IS a 1000 years long. The earth's Sabbath rest. The 1000 years is mentioned 6 times in Revelation 20 and is the same period described in Isaiah 24.22 (many days) and Ezekiel 38.8. Jesus will literally rule the globe from Mt Zion! What was the apostles question in Acts 1.6?

This is what I believe the Scriptures clearly teach, unless we want to spiritualise, or allegorise the OT prophets. Not even those pre-trib folk have got everything wrong. This is most definitely a time to be humble and not proud, (not that it should ever have been otherwise).

Yes, those sink holes are really bizarre?
I think the strangest thing of all, however, is how Mr Obama and his cronies carry on as if it is business as usual? But there again he does live in an Ivory tower?
God bless you.

James said...

Sorry for being so dogmatic,but 3 years ago i clearly had a word from the holy spirit to look at this logo and why, even before i had looked at it.The lotto logo is clearly three sixes.To comment on the 1000 year reign of Christ i believe it is literal.I see nothing in the scriptures to indicate otherwise.I agree that things are going crazy,from the weather,to the economy,to the lack of love in society,to people tatooing their face and entire body etc.If someone who had died twenty years ago came back now,and looked at the world they would be dismayed and shocked at the radical pace of change and ungodliness,that has gripped the entire world.

colin said...

James!
I have been alive for the last twenty years and I AM "dismayed and shocked" as you put it!!!

Gail said...

Thanks for your input guys. I have always believed that there was a literal thousand years but here lately I just can't seem to get things straight in my head when it comes to Jesus separating the sheep from the goats when he comes to rule for the thousand years when there will still be people being born and dying during the millennium. I mean from what I understand there is two resurrections but I only understand there being one judgment. There is only one time the book of life is consulted and that is after the thousand years? Can you see my dilemma?

Colin?????? I'm gonna tell you what: Obama is really something. Rather he is or not he certainly has the spirit of an antichrist!!!

Nothing to be sorry for James! It is all so exciting! The Lord is truly showing many of us many things. And there is much about prophecy that concerns numbers that's for sure.

colin said...

Gail,
The Day of the Lord the Millennium can be very perplexing subjects for many, needlessly so; not at least because of much confusion caused by Dispensational doctrine, and Replacement Theology.
It was like Noah's Ark, once I believed the literal account of it, all difficulties melted away. If only people will just read the Scriptures and believe like a child?
I will quote Mr Benjamin Wills Newton (look up his Wikipedia page).
Many have found difficulty in distinguishing between the millennial heavens and earth and the New Heavens and Earth, from not observing that the 21st chapter of the Revelation closes the subject with which it commences at the EIGHTH verse. The subject of those eight verses is the "NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH," created after the millennial heavens and earth have "PASSED AWAY AND NO PLACE IS FOUND FOR THEM." They describe also the relation of the Heavenly City to the NEW earth, as descending into it. This description however of the post-millennial state is brief. With the eighth verse it closes: and with that verse the chapter (had it been rightly divided) would have ended; and with the following, that is the NINTH verse, a new chapter would have commenced.
This new chapter (for such it should be), commencing from the NINTH verse of chapter 21, and extending to the end of the FIFTH verse of chapter 22., recurs (and similar instances of recurrence abound in Scripture) to the period when the Heavenly City first enters on it's existence, viz., at the commencement of the millennium, and describes its relation to the earth DURING the millennium. This is just what we might expect. The Heavenly City holds a certain relation to the millennial earth, as well as to the post-millennial. We might expect therefore that its relations to both would be described. Its relation to the new and perfected earth is FIRST described: and AFTERWARD instruction is given as to the previous relations of the same Heavenly City to an earth not perfected. A proof of this distinction may be found in such a verse as the following-"THE LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS." Revelation 22.2.
This "HEALING" must refer to the millennial earth, for in the New Earth there will be no "HEALING" needed. Again we read that "THE NATIONS SHALL WALK BY MEANS OF THE LIGHT THEREOF," Revelation 21.24 (such is the true reading. See Tregelles corrected Greek text), and "THE KINGS OF THE EARTH DO BRING THEIR GLORY AND HONOUR INTO IT (24) This will be true in the millennial earth, but in the New Earth we read neither of nations nor their kings. "FORMER THINGS WILL HAVE PASSED AWAY."
In Isaiah 65, we find a similar instance of recurrence in the millennial period, after the creation of the New Heavens and Earth had been referred to. In the 15th verse of that chapter rebellious anti-christian Israel is addressed-"THE LORD GOD SHALL SLAY THEE (rebellious Israel), AND CALL HIS SERVANTS (forgiven millennial Israel) BY ANOTHER NAME; THAT HE WHO BLESSETH HIMSELF IN THE EARTH SHALL BLESS HIMSELF IN THE GOD OF TRUTH: BECAUSE THE FORMER TROUBLES ARE FORGOTTEN AND BECAUSE THEY ARE HID FROM MINE EYES."
Of the truth of this forgetfulness of former troubles, two great proofs are to be given. The great, final, and everlasting proof is the creation of "THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH," and accordingly this is mentioned first. "FOR BEHOLD i CREATE NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, AND THE FORMER SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED NOR COME INTO MIND."
This is the post-millennial hope of Israel. It is our hope also. See 2 Peter 3.13. But are Israel to wait until the creation of the "NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH" before they can say that joy and gladness is their portion? No; at the commencement of the Millennium, Jerusalem is made "A REJOICING, AND HER PEOPLE A JOY."

Gail,
I did add much more, but apparently there were TOO MANY CHARACTERS!
So i had to chop much off! :(

Gail said...

Hi Colin, thanks. im at work and using my phone to type this. It maybe tomorrow before I get back to you. God bless!!!

colin said...

Gail,
I will finish Mr Newton's commentary sometime soon.
As regards the wheat and tares in Matthew 13, yes these are the true and false Christians, they will be separated at the Second Coming-Matthew 24.31. Then the millennial reign will be inaugurated, this is ALL who have believed in Christ, OT and NT believers. Christ will then set up His Kingdom on Mt Zion, Isaiah 2.3, Micah 4.2.
In the millennial period, the Heavenly City will co exist with the millennial earth, the Scriptures teach this (this is why I posted Mr Newton's excellent exposition on this very topic.
Yes there are TWO resurrections, one at the Lord's Coming and the other at the end of the millennium-Revelation 20.4-6. And the Great White Throne Judgment will happen at the end of this period when the final and complete dissolution will come-at the close of the millennial day.

James said...

Colin amd Gail i am in awe of your biblical knowledge it is truly inspirational,Amen

Gail said...

Thank you James. It is only by the Grace of God, prayer, and much study that I know what little I do. God will show you anything you want to know. Just ask him a question and start searching the word believing that He will soon give it to you and He will in His time do just that.

Colin I haven't had a chance to digest what you wrote but as soon as I do I'll get beck to you.

God Bless you both!!!

Gail said...

Hi Colin,

I understand what you are saying and it makes perfect sense except for one thing. Why is the book of life opened after the millennium and not after the first resurrection?

Here is my thoughts on that: When it describes those of the first resurrection it describes the 144,000 and those who have come through the tribulation: were beheaded for the testimony of Christ. In my way of thinking none of those people need judgment they have proven their love and they are without question in no danger of the second death. They are the first fruits, the cream of the crop: I understand we are a type of first fruits but... this resurrection wouldn't be the final harvest would it? We are all to be judged and doesn't that judgment happen for all at the same time?

When the Bible talks about the resurrection it says there will be some who wake to everlasting life and that some will wake unto shame and everlasting contempt (Dan. 12:2). What this verse means to me is that the good and the bad will be resurrected and judged at the same time.

Rev. 1:7—Behold he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

This verse clearly teaches that when he comes every eye will see him even those wicked people who killed him. This would have to mean that the man who pierced his side will be resurrected at the same time we are, on the day Christ appears,.

John 6:54—Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 12:48—He that rejects me, and receives not my words, hath one that Judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Doesn't it make sense that the last day would be just before the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven, eternity begins, and there is time no longer?

There is one thing that doesn't make sense (to me) about what Mr. Newton said concerning Revelation 22:2. He says that the trees for healing would have to be in the millennium but during that thousand years there will be time kept so there will be a sun and a moon, day and night, or else how would we know when a thousand years is up? The time described in Rev. 22, in my opinion, is after the millennium when there will be time no longer (Rev. 10:6) which probably would be when there shall be no night there: and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever (Revelation 22:5).

I really appreciate your help with this. I have been wrestling with it for a while.

colin said...

Continued from Mr Newton's "The Millennium And Israel's Future".

They are to be sustained in holiness and blessing by the hand of the Lord their God, and therefore they may rejoice forever (that is with a joy never to be interrupted however it may be enlarged) in all that their God createth for their blessing, both then and when He fulfills His last great promise of creating the New Heavens and New Earth. Israel have a title, corporately, at the commencement of the Millennium to say, "WE WILL REJOICE FOREVER"; but the nations corporately, will not-for among them there is to be a great apostasy at the close (See Revelation 20. 8,9).
It is very evident that the scene described in Isaiah 65.18, on to the end of the chapter, is in the millennial earth and not in the New Earth. In the New Earth, there will be no building houses nor planting vineyards-no possibility of death, or of sin, or of curse-no limitation of the days of God's people to the days of a tree-no wolves and lambs feeding together-no serpents feeding on dust. All these things, as mentioned in this passage, will be seen in the millennial earth; but in the New Heavens and Earth these former things will have passed away (Revelation 21.4).

I believe this will literally and truly come to pass, the Bible clearly teaches this, unless you want to allegorise Scripture.

Many Christians struggle (those who are NOT pre millennial) to believe Scriptures such as Zechariah 14. 4-5, for example, will yet have a literal fulfillment. Would such a scene be so hard to believe, when we see all the strange things going on in this world?)

colin said...

Gail,
You raise some very valid points. It is good that you ask questions such as these. Who hasn't been through these arid places? We should never stop asking questions, the Lord Himself said "The truth shall make you free". John 8.32.

How many souls will be saved in the millennial period? Doubtless many will apostatize when Satan is "loosed for a season"? It will only be THEN that the great assize will take place. Why would the book be opened BEFORE the great harvest?
Daniel 12.2 does NOT say the "good and bad will be resurrected at the SAME time.It says there WILL be a resurrection "some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt"? (We read into the Scripture what is not there) Daniel 12.1 says "at THAT time THY PEOPLE shall be delivered", at what time? At the time at the conclusion of great tribulation. This, as I believe the Scriptures teach will be the post tribulation deliverance, is this not the time of the post trib rapture, so-called? 1 Thessalonians 4.16-17, 1 Corinthians 15.52 and Matthew 24.31?
Revelation 20. 4-6, Luke 14.14, Acts 24.15 are Scriptures that teach two resurrections; of the "just" and "unjust", the Revelation confirms that they are separated by 1000 years.
Scripture doesn't contradict Scripture.
Revelation 1.7, yes "every eye shall see Him", I believe the whole world, without exception, that is living at that time will see this event! As to "they which pierced Him"; if we read Zechariah 12.10, and John 19.37 in conjunction with Revelation 1.7, as the Lord derided the Scribes and the Pharisees in Matthew 23.30 and Luke 11.50, we can see that the Lord said that the sons had their hands in the slaying of the prophets? Likewise I believe the same applies to the men who pierced the Lord. But, the men who pierced Him, they WILL "bow the knee to Him"! They WILL see Him at the great assize! Romans 14.11, Philippians 2.10.
John 6.54, "the last day", Yes the Lord will raise His people at the "last day"-that is at the beginning of the 1000 year millennium.
John 12.48, likewise at the end of that day.
As regards Revelation 10.6, in the original Greek, this only means there shall be "no delay". In other words, that time is about to be fulfilled.

I sincerely hope that I may have given you some clearer light in these great matters. We must ever strive to be humble when expounding God's Word, we don't want to lead any astray?

For a more detailed exegesis os Daniel 12.2, please log on to PB Ministries, click onto their "eschatology" page, then onto the "Approaching Advent of Christ" by Alexander Reese. Then click onto chapter 2- the resurrection of the saints in the Old Testament where you will read much on this subject.

Gail said...

Hi Colin,

It is so true we must strive to be humble in our interpretation of God's word, we surely do not want to lead anyone astray nor do WE want to be deceived! I'm glad we have one another to discuss these things.

You know what? Over the last year or so probably I have wrestled with this but if only I would have paid better attention to Daniel 12:1—every one that shall be found written in the book: yep I can see where we wouldn't need the book. The Book would certainly be the Book of Life. I'm so glad I have finally got that straight in my head. It has really been worrying me.

John 6:54—Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 12:48—He that rejects me, and receives not my words, hath one that Judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

I think I have just figured out one way I might be confusing myself. I am confusing the wicked dead with the wicked alive folks. It does seem that “rejects” is a present tense in John 12:48, so surely it would only mean those who are living in the last day would be judged? When Jesus comes before the millennial he saves those who love him (all those written in the book). And destroys those living that are destroying the earth. Okay, I got that now to chew on the other stuff you said and check out PB Ministries.

Thanks so much you have helped me a bunch.

colin said...

Gail,
I have often discovered apparent difficulties with God's Word. But all the time the problem was never with God's inerrant Word, only His errant child!
This is why many who hold to what is known as "King James only-ism", cannot see the "wood for the trees" so to speak?
The Rabbis (Shaul/Paul was one) always believed and taught two separate resurrections; one for the just, and the other for the unjust. The New Testament Scriptures clearly teach this. Peter said of Paul in 2 Peter 3.16; "some things hard to be understood"? It may well have been more convenient if Paul had been clearer on this in Acts 24.15? This is why we are commanded to study, 2 Timothy 2.15.
Also, many have trouble understanding the Millennium as a "DAY", and thus come unstuck with Scriptures such as 2 Peter 3.10-13 for example.
I think you should read the first few verses of Romans 8!

Whilst on the the subject of the great Biblical truth of the Millennium, many flounder over the problem of who is going to populate the Millennial EARTH? Yet if they would only take Scriptures such as Zechariah 14.6 to heart, they would clearly know? There WILL be a remnant of the nations that God WILL spare! I believe these will be the "innocents", or/and those not of age etc.
Without God none of us know any thing?
May God bless your studies.

Gail said...

Thank you Colin! You simplify who will inhabit the millennial very well. I remember our friend Sue (member her?) brought that up and I didn't know how to answer it. If any one asks me from now on I know the simple answer.

I have been trying to write an article about the battle of Armageddon but as of this moment not been able to finish it. The last two weeks have been busy and has flown by. I apologize AGAIN (!!!) for being so late with my reply. I had planned to study on the things you told me about before I commented and that didn't work out for me.

Anyway, about the battle of Armageddon: most believe and teach it happens around the time of Jesus return; as I understand it is the same thing as the Gog and Magog war? If they are the same war then that presents a problem: the Gog Magog war is suppose to happen after the millennial according to scripture; when Satan gathers his army to wage war on the Saints of the unwalled city. What's your thoughts on that.

God Bless!!!

P.S. I wouldn't blame you if you waited a couple of weeks before you get back to me. : )

colin said...

Gail,
I can do no better than quote from B.W.Newton's work "The Millennium And Israel's Future".

"Care must be taken not to confound the invasion of Gog described in Ezekiel, with that mentioned in the Revelation. The former takes place at the very commencement-the latter at the close of the Millennium, so that they are events thoroughly distinct. Nor must the Gog and Magog nations be confounded with those whom Antichrist is to lead. Antichrist is the last head of the Roman world-nations appointed by God to trample down Jerusalem till the days of her punishment shall be ended. The assaults therefore, of Antichrist on Israel up to the day of his fall, will prosper. "He will take the spoil, and the prey, and tread them down like the mire of the streets" (Isaiah x.). But the assaults of the Gog and Magog nations will not prosper. They will attempt to vex Israel after the time for their being vexed is over, and when the time for them to be sheltered and comforted will have come. In assailing Israel they will find that they have rushed upon the thick bosses of the Almighty. The central parts of Asia to the east and the north-east of the Caspian, is the region to which the Gog and Magog nations belong. Uncivilized and semi-barbarous, they stand in this respect also, markedly contrasted with the intellectual and polished nations whom Antichrist is to lead."

Gog and Magog is just a general term for nations, and many do indeed confuse these two separate encounters; somewhat a 1000 years apart, and believe that there is only one Gog and Magog war. Your analytical brain at least told you there is a problem with confounding them, not least with when Antichrist meets his end in the "Day of the Lord".

There is NO "Battle of Armageddon", Armageddon is the meeting place; the plain of Megiddo, where Antichrist and his forces assemble before advancing on to the Holy City, read Joel 3.2 and 3.12, Zechariah 14.5, Isaiah 13.3 etc. The battle is fought in Jerusalem.

I hope this has helped.

May God bless your studies.

In my last post, I meant Zechariah 14.16.

I remember Sue, she certainly defended pre-trib?



Gail said...

Hi Colin,

Thanks!

Mr. Newton says not to confuse the Gog in Ezekiel with that in Revelation but I believe they are the very same event: I don't believe this is the same event as when the Antichrist is destroyed along with the false prophet, and those who take the mark but rather the last time Satan will show himself: after the thousand years. I am not a Bible scholar for sure and I could be wrong but it seems to me that Ezekiel 36-39 is chronologically the events of what will happen from the time of Israel's birth until after the thousand years.

(1) The Jews are returned to their land to rebuild the fences and walls and (2) at the end of that generation Jesus comes back to raise those of the first resurrection and reign a thousand years (a time when no fences or walls will be needed) and then after the thousand yeas (3) the Gog and Magog (Satan's army) gathers against the Holy city and the Saints that dwell safely without fences and walls.

(1.) Ezekiel 36:35—And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

(2.) Ezekiel 37 is clearly (in my opinion) a picture of the resurrection and not the rebirth of Israel: the dead is brought to life, covered in skin, and when they were given breath they became a great army; they are the whole house of Israel and David will be their king. Those who returned to the new state of Israel in 1948 were not resurrected from the grave but were people who were alive and of this date are not ruled by one king and will not be until after the coming of Jesus and the resurrection.

Ezekiel 37:24—And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statues, and do them.

(3.) Jer. 33:15-16—In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely...

Zec. 14:11—And men shall dwell in it, an there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

Eze. 34:28—And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

Ezekiel 38:8—After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Ezekiel 38:11—And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates.

There is much more to say but I think this will give you something to think about for a minute while I do some more study.

God Bless you and yours always!!!

colin said...

Gail,
What do we make of Ezekiel 39.12 on? Read the whole chapter, and take note of the land being "cleansed", the "renown" and God's being "glorified" in this "day".
If there were only ONE "Gog and Magog" war at the END of the Millennium when Satan is "loosed out of his prison", why we may ask, are the house of Israel to spend SEVEN months burying them? If you read the very short chronological course of events thereafter from Revelation 20.9 on; there comes in quick succession the "great white throne", the "books were opened","the dead were judged", "the lake of fire", "the second death" etc. Immediately after these events the "NEW HEAVENS and NEW EARTH" will come to be. The Gog and Magog war in Revelation IS a different war to that in the Revelation. There are other inconsistencies which, at the present moment escape my mind....
May God bless your studies.

colin said...

Gail,
Those Scriptures that you quoted are perfectly harmonious with the two separate Gog and Magog wars.
It does, however seem wonderful that these gentile nations should dare to make such an attempt immediately after the destruction of Antichrist and his hosts, and after the palpable proofs then given of Israel having been restored to the protection of their God. But terror never abidingly affects hearts unreached by grace. We read that Amalek of old, unterrified by the ruin that had fallen on Pharaoh and the hosts of Egypt, went forth to fight with Israel between the Red Sea and Sinai: nor did all that Balak knew from the facts and from Balaam respecting the might and destiny of Israel, prevent him from resisting them.....

Gail said...

Hi Colin,

It seems I can't find any ammunition for argument lol. I guess I will have to accept there are two Gog and Magog wars: one when Jesus comes and one after the thousand years but there is still something that keeps me at bay from just totally accepting that. Don't get me wrong it is not because I don't want to accept it, as you know, the truth is all I'm after but I just keep having this nagging feeling concerning the return of Christ and the thousand years I can't really put my finger on it. I haven't had a lot of time lately to study there has just been so much going on: work, company, etc... I hope I can find some time this weekend to study on that some (listen to the rest of the audio you recommended) and I really need to get something new posted on my blog. I was writing about the Gog war but I think I better hold off on that a bit? Lol.

I hope you have a great weekend!!! I'm going to see if I can't get some writing done.

Many Blessings to You and Yours!!!

colin said...

Gail,
The study of the Millennium; it's inauguration, development and Satan's final overthrow leading up to the "New heaven and a new earth", is a subject that needs very careful study.
Most pre millennialists when they read of "Gog and Magog" in Ezekiel, automatically confound it with the Revelation: Likewise with Genesis 1.2 and Isaiah 45.18 where they confound the word "waste", and then go on to believe that there must have been a pre-Adamic world! (Though these last two Scriptures don't present a problem to KJV ONLYISTS!)
I believe the opening years of the Millennium will be like seed-time rather than a harvest; ordered glory doesn't happen in ONE moment.
Though if the most High wanted to bring it about that way, I am sure He could? As in ages past, He uses human agency. Egypt, for example must be desolate for 40 years according to Ezekiel 29 before the restoration and blessing in Isaiah 19.
May God bless your studies.
