Pages & Perspective – The Millennium Kingdom

I am reading a book by Dr. David Jeremiah titled The Coming Golden Age. If you need a boost of hope in this current age we are living in, Dr. Jeremiah’s book will certainly be a blessing to you.

I’ve known of the Millennium reign of our Lord and Savior, but I didn’t know or understand all the facts surrounding it. After listening to Dr. Jeremiah in the YouTube interview I’ve included at the end of the post, and purchasing the book, I’ve had a sense of great joy within me. I’ve also understood a bit more why the song, Joy to the World, will sometimes burst out of me all through the year. Perhaps my subconscious has somehow known it is more a song of The Millennium reign of Jesus Christ, than it is a Christmas Carol. (Page 34 in the book)

Joy to the world; the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
And heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns;
Our mortal songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

Isaac Watts

I also had little idea of the amount of Bible verses that mention the ‘Golden Age’.

…I’ve been digging them up-hundreds of verses about the coming Golden Age, the impending thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ on this planet. Some commentators say it is the single most mentioned subject in all of God’s Word. ~Dr. David Jeremiah

Proverbs – The Path of Peace

April’s Trail

 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV)

There are many potential threats hanging over us all: the collapse of world-wide economies, dangerous cataclysms beneath the earth’s crust, the crescendo of bad weather, poisons in the water, air and sky, epidemics, illness, famines…the list could go on and on.

Yet, I have a source, you have a source, we all have a source of peace. That peace can be found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 (NIV)

God’s presence and his word are always my abiding peace.
