The Bible is replete with prophecies of a coming age of

peace and prosperity. It will be a time when war will be

utterly unknown. Not a single armament plant will be

operating, not a soldier or sailor will be in uniform, no militarycamps will exist, and not one cent will be spent for

armaments of war; not a single penny will be used for

defense, much less for offensive warfare. Can you imagine

such an age, when all nations shall be at perfect peace, all

the resources available for enjoyment, all industry engaged

in the articles of a peaceful luxury.

Dr. M. R. Dehaan, The Great Society1

In Luke 3, John the Baptist makes a very important

announcement the King, of the Kingdom, has arrived.

WHAT WERE THEY LOOKING FOR?

They were looking for the literalfulfillment of the covenants.

Abrahamic1.Descendants (Gen 12:1-3; 13:16; 15:5)

Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and

from your fathers house, to the land which I will show you;

and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and

make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and

I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you

I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will beblessed. ~ Gen 12:1-3

Davidic1.House (2 Sam 7:12-16)

When your days are complete and you lie down with yourfathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will

come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He

shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the

throne of his kingdom forever. I will be a father to him and

he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will

correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons

of men, but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as

I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me

forever; your throne shall be established forever.

The New Covenant1.Forgiveness ofSins (Jer 31:31-34)

Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I willmake a new covenant with the house of Israel and with

the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made

with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to

bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which

they broke, although I was a husband to them, declares

the LORD. But this is the covenant which I will make with

the house of Israel after those days declares the Lord, I

will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it;

and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They

will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each

man his brother, saying, Know the LORD. For they will allknow Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,

declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their

sin I will remember no more. ~ Jer 31:31-34

10 Most Prominent Conditions of the Millennium

PEACE(Is 2:4; 9:4-7; 11:6-9)

And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard willlie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young

lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them.

Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie

down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The

nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and theweaned child will put his hand on the vipers den. They will

not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will

be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover

the sea Is 11:6 9

HOLINESS(Is 4:2-6; 29:19; 35:8; Ezek 43:7-12; Zech 14:20-21)

In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and

glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and theadornment of the survivors of Israel. It will come about that

he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be

called holy everyone who is recorded for life in

Jerusalem. ~ Is 4:2-3

JUSTICE/RIGHTEOUSNESS(Is 9:7; 11:1-5; 32:16; 42:1-5)

Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in

whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; Hewill bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or

raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the street. A

bruised reed He will not break and a dimly burning wick He

will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice

No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few

days, or an old man who does not live out his days; for theyouth will die at the age of one hundred and the one who

does not reach the age of one hundred will be thought

Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, When the

plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader ofgrapes him who sows seed; when the mountains will drip

sweet wine and all the hills will be dissolved. Also I will

restore the captivity of My people Israel, and they will

rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; they will also plant

vineyards and drink their wine, and make gardens and eat

their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, and they willnot again be rooted out from their land which I have given

them, says the LORD you God. ~ Amos 9:13-15

They were looking for a messianic King.

To fulfill the covenants, usher in the Kingdom and bring

comfort (peace)(Is 60:1-14; Ezek 37:23-25; Zeph 3:14-17).

They will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or

with their detestable things, or with any of their

transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their

dwelling places in which they have sinned, and willcleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be

their God. My servant David will be king over them, and

they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My

ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them.

They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My

servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on

it, they, and their sons and their sons sons, forever; and

David My servant will be their prince forever. ~ Ezek
