He will be bound and shut up in the abyss,
that he may deceive the nations no more
until the thousand years (millennium)
are finished (Rev. 20.4); Every hindrance
to the glory of God and the happiness of
His creatures on the earth will be removed.
Now the kingdom is the Lords, and the
wlole earth is under His dominion, and
righteousness and peace universally prevail
HE hath remembered His mercy and
truth toward the house of Israel, and ali
the ends of the earth have seen the saliva
tion of our God" While He shall be
king over all the earth, He will be especially
lsrael's king "tor the Lord God shall give
unto Him the throne of His father David,
and He shall rule over the house of Jacob
forever, and OF His kingdom there shall be
no end" Then shall the kingdom be in
deed restored to Israel, and that despised
people shall become "a crown of glory in
the hand of the Lord, and IA royal diadem
in the hand of their GJd.n Ia anticipa-
ton OF that Gay the prophet Isaiah says
Break forth into joy ye waste places of
Jerusalem, for the Lord hath conferred
His people, and He hath redeemed Jerusa.
lem" Thus shall the Lord of Hosts reign
in M unit ZION and in Jerusalem, and
before His ancients gloriously" and the
name of the city from that day shall be
"JehUv All Shammsh' or THE Lord is
There" Then shall Isaiah co.. l6 20 have
their complete fulflment
2. Wickedness and war shall be abolished.
There shall be nothing to hurt or to des-
troy in all the holy mountain of the
Lord for the knowledge of the
Lord shall cover the earth rs the
waters cover the sea-" Nation shall not
lift up the sword against nation, &C." We
do not say that there shall be no sin left in
human hearts during the millennium, but
we do say that open wickedness shall be
suppressed and restrained under the holy
and universal sway of Christ and his saints
The world will be evangelized. Death
will be rare thing.
3. The curse will be removed from the
earth. We know where and why the
curse came in. Adam tell, and for his
sake the ground was cursed. In that day
the curse is removed. Two nations shall
occupy the millennisl earth-frst the
Jewish nation, previously restored to their
own land, shall be the the Queen OF ma
tions; secondly, the GENTLE nations shall
also be left on the earth, and shall be COZ
verted to Christ In this great missionary
movement the Jews are to be largely in |
strumenlal. Isaiah 66; 19)
a. The animal creation will undergo |
radical change, and become as docile and
tame as they we're in Eden before the fall |
The only creature from which God does |
not remove the curse is the serpent; even in |
that day God remembers the part it d ayed |
in Eden, and therefore, we are told, tina,
dust shall be the serpents food"
o. Jerusalem shall become praise in tht
earth. "Out of Zion shall go forth the
law, and the word Of the Lord from
Jerusalem" She who has been troddei
down will occupy wonderful place in thai
Day, and her recovered glory will as mucl
eclipse that of the past, as the glory O.
Christ the King will surpass that of Sol
mon.

AS nearly as we can judge from the later
descriptions of the New Jerusalem,
would seem to be a ity, or sphere, o TX
