Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah | David Jeremiah - The Coming Golden Age Interview | February 21, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.374
Male announcer: imagine a world without war.
00:00:04.511 --> 00:00:09.082
A world free from crime and hate.
00:00:09.215 --> 00:00:14.421
No more poverty, where everyone has a home.
00:00:14.554 --> 00:00:19.893
A world where natural disasters are non-existent.
00:00:19.993 --> 00:00:20.860
Imagine a world
00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:25.298
Without injustice and divisiveness.
00:00:25.298 --> 00:00:29.702
Imagine a life without worry or fear.
00:00:29.702 --> 00:00:35.909
Such a time is coming
00:00:35.909 --> 00:00:38.578
When the world will know perfect harmony.
00:00:38.578 --> 00:00:42.382
One day, you will not have to endure hardship,
00:00:42.382 --> 00:00:45.819
But can live a life of perfect peace and joy.
00:00:45.819 --> 00:00:50.557
And that one day could start sooner than you think.
00:00:50.557 --> 00:00:55.028
This is the millennium,
00:00:55.028 --> 00:00:57.864
The coming golden age.
00:00:57.864 --> 00:00:59.999
Announcer: today, on "turning point."
00:01:02.635 --> 00:01:05.205
Dr. jeremiah sits down with sheila walsh
00:01:05.205 --> 00:01:07.740
To discuss his prophecy series,
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:09.943
"the coming golden age,"
00:01:09.943 --> 00:01:12.345
Here on "turning point."
00:01:12.345 --> 00:01:14.180
Dr. david jeremiah: thank you for joining me today.
00:01:17.984 --> 00:01:20.086
In the next few minutes, we will explore
00:01:20.086 --> 00:01:22.622
The incredible glories that await
00:01:22.622 --> 00:01:24.457
Those who follow our savior into the millennium and beyond.
00:01:24.457 --> 00:01:29.963
We'll also savor the hope, joy, and peace that can be ours
00:01:29.963 --> 00:01:33.800
Until the arrival of that glorious future,
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:36.669
And it may be closer than we think.
00:01:36.669 --> 00:01:39.706
To encourage you today,
00:01:39.706 --> 00:01:41.174
I have invited musical guest selah
00:01:41.174 --> 00:01:44.377
And my dear friend sheila walsh to join me in the studio.
00:01:44.377 --> 00:01:48.781
So before we discover all the bible reveals
00:01:48.781 --> 00:01:50.950
About the coming golden age,
00:01:50.950 --> 00:01:53.286

[audience applauding]
00:05:40.813 --> 00:05:48.755
Dr. jeremiah: please help me welcome sheila walsh.
00:05:48.755 --> 00:05:51.991
[audience cheering]
00:05:51.991 --> 00:06:00.199
Sheila walsh: oh, dr. jeremiah, this is so exciting.
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.436
"the coming golden age."
00:06:03.436 --> 00:06:05.838
But honestly, i don't think i've heard many people
00:06:05.838 --> 00:06:08.141
Talk about that.
00:06:08.141 --> 00:06:09.509
I certainly haven't read another book like your book.
00:06:09.509 --> 00:06:12.745
Why did you write this book this time?
00:06:12.745 --> 00:06:14.981
Dr. jeremiah: you know, sheila, whenever i do a book project,
00:06:14.981 --> 00:06:16.849
One of the first things we do,
00:06:16.849 --> 00:06:18.584
I have a staff that helps me do this,
00:06:18.584 --> 00:06:20.052
We look up on the internet,
00:06:20.052 --> 00:06:22.588
And any other sources we can find,
00:06:22.588 --> 00:06:24.357
All the other books that might have been written
00:06:24.357 --> 00:06:26.292
On the particular subject we're going to write on.
00:06:26.292 --> 00:06:29.128
And when we began to look for books on the millennium,
00:06:29.128 --> 00:06:31.497
We couldn't find any except theological books
00:06:31.497 --> 00:06:34.567
That wanted to argue
00:06:34.567 --> 00:06:36.202
Over whether jesus comes back
00:06:36.202 --> 00:06:38.538
Before the millennium or after the millennium.
00:06:38.538 --> 00:06:40.740
I didn't think that would bless you all that much,
00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.809
So we kept looking
00:06:42.809 --> 00:06:44.777
And, finally, i remembered a statement
00:06:44.777 --> 00:06:48.080
That dwight pentecost made
00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:49.782
In a class that i had with him in seminary
00:06:49.782 --> 00:06:52.718
And i found it's written in some of his books.
00:06:52.718 --> 00:06:54.687
And here's what he said.
00:06:54.687 --> 00:06:56.289
He said there is more information in the bible
00:06:56.289 --> 00:06:59.258
About the millennium
00:06:59.258 --> 00:07:00.827
Than there is about any other subject,
00:07:00.827 --> 00:07:02.762
Including salvation, heaven, hell.
00:07:02.762 --> 00:07:06.098
He said the bible
00:07:06.098 --> 00:07:07.433
Is full of information on the millennium,
00:07:07.433 --> 00:07:09.268
But the information is spread out
00:07:09.268 --> 00:07:11.404
In the old testament, a few in the new,
00:07:11.404 --> 00:07:13.806
And nobody's ever collected it together
00:07:13.806 --> 00:07:15.808
So that we have an idea of what this is all about.
00:07:15.808 --> 00:07:19.212
When i finished with "the great disappearance,"
00:07:19.212 --> 00:07:20.847
I thought, well, what's next?
00:07:20.847 --> 00:07:22.181
Well, what's next is the tribulation.
00:07:22.181 --> 00:07:24.016
We already have a book on that.
00:07:24.016 --> 00:07:26.052
So the next thing was the millennium,
00:07:26.052 --> 00:07:27.720
And i dove into it.
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.355
I have to admit, there were a few days after i got started,
00:07:29.355 --> 00:07:31.691
I wondered if i'd gotten in over my head.
00:07:31.691 --> 00:07:35.228
But it's been a real thrill to read and discuss
00:07:35.228 --> 00:07:37.864
And research these subjects.
00:07:37.864 --> 00:07:39.765
Sheila: you're gonna love this book, it's phenomenal.
00:07:39.765 --> 00:07:41.567
What does it mean to be kingdom ready?
00:07:41.567 --> 00:07:44.637
Dr. jeremiah: there are two aspects of the kingdom.
00:07:44.637 --> 00:07:46.939
There's the kingdom that's to come, the millennium,
00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:50.009
Which is referenced in revelation chapter 19,
00:07:50.009 --> 00:07:53.145
And then there's the kingdom that's already here.
00:07:53.145 --> 00:07:56.916
In fact, there's a statement, and it's "almost but not yet."
00:07:56.916 --> 00:08:01.587
Almost we have the kingdom,
00:08:01.587 --> 00:08:02.955
Because when jesus christ comes into your life,
00:08:02.955 --> 00:08:05.525
He becomes your lord and your savior
00:08:05.525 --> 00:08:07.460
And he becomes the king of your life.
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:09.395
So if you're a christian, you're already in the kingdom.
00:08:09.395 --> 00:08:12.365
There's a verse that says, "we've been translated
00:08:12.365 --> 00:08:15.368
From the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his son."
00:08:15.368 --> 00:08:19.505
So if you're here as a christian, congratulations.
00:08:19.505 --> 00:08:22.508
We're kingdom buddies, kingdom brothers and sisters,
00:08:22.508 --> 00:08:25.244
And we already are in the kingdom.
00:08:25.244 --> 00:08:27.914
But the bible also says
00:08:27.914 --> 00:08:29.515
That one day jesus christ himself, the king,
00:08:29.515 --> 00:08:33.252
Is going to come back to this earth
00:08:33.252 --> 00:08:34.820
And set up his kingdom for a thousand years
00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:37.990
And reign and rule on this earth.
00:08:37.990 --> 00:08:39.992
That's the kingdom to come.
00:08:39.992 --> 00:08:41.794
So there's the kingdom that's in your heart
00:08:41.794 --> 00:08:44.263
And the kingdom that's to come.
00:08:44.263 --> 00:08:46.332
Sheila: now, you have gone through scripture
00:08:46.332 --> 00:08:48.768
From the beginning
00:08:48.768 --> 00:08:50.102
Until the revelation given to john
00:08:50.102 --> 00:08:52.371
And you've pulled all these threads together.
00:08:52.371 --> 00:08:54.173
So where does the millennium fit in god's prophetic timeline?
00:08:54.173 --> 00:08:58.311
Dr. jeremiah: okay, here's how that works.
00:08:58.311 --> 00:09:00.479
We are living now in the church age
00:09:00.479 --> 00:09:02.782
And we know, if we've studied the bible,
00:09:02.782 --> 00:09:04.483
That the next thing to happen is the rapture of the church.
00:09:04.483 --> 00:09:07.620
The church will go to heaven.
00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:08.955
And then comes a period of seven years of tribulation.
00:09:08.955 --> 00:09:13.059
We won't be here, we'll be in heaven,
00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:14.594
But the tribulation will be divided
00:09:14.594 --> 00:09:17.029
Into two pieces, the first half,
00:09:17.029 --> 00:09:19.665
The great tribulation, the second half.
00:09:19.665 --> 00:09:22.234
At the end of the great tribulation,
00:09:22.234 --> 00:09:24.103
Jesus will come back and he will win the victory
00:09:24.103 --> 00:09:27.406
Of the battle of armageddon.
00:09:27.406 --> 00:09:28.774
And when that happens,
00:09:28.774 --> 00:09:30.576
The kingdom is ushered in on this earth.
00:09:30.576 --> 00:09:33.579
Sheila: was there a particular chapter or verse
00:09:33.579 --> 00:09:36.148
That informed you about this coming golden age?
00:09:36.148 --> 00:09:38.918
Dr. jeremiah: there is no real central passage
00:09:38.918 --> 00:09:42.088
On the millennium, but there are hundreds of scriptures
00:09:42.088 --> 00:09:44.724
As dr. pentecost said, more than any other.
00:09:44.724 --> 00:09:47.526
In fact, there's an index at the back of this book
00:09:47.526 --> 00:09:49.261
And i was shocked when i went back there to see.
00:09:49.261 --> 00:09:51.631
We've touched almost every prophet, every minor prophet,
00:09:51.631 --> 00:09:54.967
Isaiah, ezekiel, jeremiah, daniel,
00:09:54.967 --> 00:09:57.803
They all have a lot to say about
00:09:57.803 --> 00:09:59.739
The thousand year reign of christ.
00:09:59.739 --> 00:10:01.907
And there's a few things in the new testament
00:10:01.907 --> 00:10:03.442
That refer to it.
00:10:03.442 --> 00:10:05.177
In the book of revelation a passage where a thousand years
00:10:05.177 --> 00:10:08.280
Is mentioned like five times in the same section.
00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:12.251
So, it's spread out all through the old testament and the new.
00:10:12.251 --> 00:10:15.721
Sheila: so what is jesus's role,
00:10:15.721 --> 00:10:18.024
Particularly during the millennium?
00:10:18.024 --> 00:10:20.693
Dr. jeremiah: well, you know, the bible teaches in prophecy
00:10:20.693 --> 00:10:22.995
That jesus will come back one day
00:10:22.995 --> 00:10:25.131
And he will sit on the throne of david.
00:10:25.131 --> 00:10:26.732
He will be the king of the earth.
00:10:26.732 --> 00:10:29.068
So, first of all, he comes back as a fulfillment
00:10:29.068 --> 00:10:31.370
Of prophecy.
00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:33.005
Those prophecies in the old testament
00:10:33.005 --> 00:10:34.473
Aren't just mysterious they're actual.
00:10:34.473 --> 00:10:38.044
There is coming a time when king jesus
00:10:38.044 --> 00:10:40.246
Will sit on the throne in jerusalem
00:10:40.246 --> 00:10:43.215
And be king over all the earth.
00:10:43.215 --> 00:10:45.151
When he returns,
00:10:45.151 --> 00:10:47.420
To fight the battle of armageddon
00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:48.888
And then we're ushered in to the kingdom,
00:10:48.888 --> 00:10:51.290
He will actually go to jerusalem.
00:10:51.290 --> 00:10:53.459
He will be seated on the throne there.
00:10:53.459 --> 00:10:55.695
And he won't just be king of israel
00:10:55.695 --> 00:10:57.496
Or king of jerusalem,
00:10:57.496 --> 00:10:58.831
He'll be king of the whole world.
00:10:58.831 --> 00:11:00.966
Sheila: you've already touched on the "already, but not yet."
00:11:00.966 --> 00:11:03.969
How does the lord's prayer help us understand that?
00:11:03.969 --> 00:11:07.306
Dr. jeremiah: you know, we pray,
00:11:07.306 --> 00:11:09.175
"our father who art in heaven," what's the rest of it?
00:11:09.175 --> 00:11:13.879
All right, and what's the rest of that?
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.848
"thy kingdom come, thy will be done
00:11:15.848 --> 00:11:19.251
On earth as it is in heaven."
00:11:19.251 --> 00:11:22.388
That's the most popular prayer in the history of the world.
00:11:22.388 --> 00:11:27.359
And those words which are prayed
00:11:27.359 --> 00:11:29.195
At the beginning of that prayer are an introduction
00:11:29.195 --> 00:11:32.631
To kingdom theology.
00:11:32.631 --> 00:11:34.734
That we would know the will of god on earth as it is in heaven.
00:11:34.734 --> 00:11:39.939
It will never be fully realized until jesus comes back.
00:11:39.939 --> 00:11:45.478
When jesus comes back the will of god
00:11:45.478 --> 00:11:47.747
Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
00:11:47.747 --> 00:11:50.750
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt
00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:52.718
To allow that to happen now.
00:11:52.718 --> 00:11:55.087
I remember years ago, sheila,
00:11:55.087 --> 00:11:56.655
I preached a series of messages on the lord's prayer
00:11:56.655 --> 00:11:59.959
And i made a little list for the inside of my bible.
00:11:59.959 --> 00:12:03.129
And part of the list was, "you pray for your priorities."
00:12:03.129 --> 00:12:07.032
And that priority section was this little phrase,
00:12:07.032 --> 00:12:09.902
"thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven."
00:12:09.902 --> 00:12:13.606
And i began to think how wonderful it would be
00:12:13.606 --> 00:12:16.008
To pray every day, "lord,
00:12:16.008 --> 00:12:17.343
Help my life to reflect heaven's priorities.
00:12:17.343 --> 00:12:21.747
Help me to live every day in such a way
00:12:21.747 --> 00:12:24.216
That your will is being done in my life
00:12:24.216 --> 00:12:26.051
Even as if i were in heaven already."
00:12:26.051 --> 00:12:28.387
Sheila: i love that, that is a great prayer
00:12:28.387 --> 00:12:30.222
To begin every day with.
00:12:30.222 --> 00:12:32.324
Some people might confuse the millennium with heaven,
00:12:32.324 --> 00:12:35.928
But they're not the same, right?
00:12:35.928 --> 00:12:37.463
Dr. jeremiah: no, well, you're absolutely right.
00:12:37.463 --> 00:12:39.131
A lot of people confuse it because a lot of people use
00:12:39.131 --> 00:12:41.534
The millennial passages to describe what heaven's like.
00:12:41.534 --> 00:12:44.970
And the millennium and heaven are very similar.
00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:47.139
I mean, they're not totally different.
00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:49.475
But after the thousand-year reign of christ,
00:12:49.475 --> 00:12:52.678
There will be a final rebellion,
00:12:52.678 --> 00:12:54.146
But then the eternal state will begin, and that's heaven.
00:12:54.146 --> 00:12:57.183
Heaven is after the millennium, not the same as the millennium.
00:12:57.183 --> 00:13:01.987
Sheila: in the section in your book
00:13:01.987 --> 00:13:03.556
Where you talk about what will be in the millennium,
00:13:03.556 --> 00:13:06.125
I mean, stay tuned, buckle your seat belts, it's great,
00:13:06.125 --> 00:13:09.728
But you talk about justice.
00:13:09.728 --> 00:13:11.897
What will that look like in the millennium?
00:13:11.897 --> 00:13:13.632
Dr. jeremiah: well, there won't be any room for any discussion
00:13:13.632 --> 00:13:15.835
Because the ultimate thing that will happen
00:13:15.835 --> 00:13:18.337
Is truth will be executed.
00:13:18.337 --> 00:13:20.573
And everything will be done, it will be absolutely right
00:13:20.573 --> 00:13:23.576
With no possibility of it being wrong.
00:13:23.576 --> 00:13:26.145
And there won't be any injustice where people are treated wrongly
00:13:26.145 --> 00:13:30.115
Because somebody doesn't know the truth,
00:13:30.115 --> 00:13:31.984
Because the truth will be sitting on the throne.
00:13:31.984 --> 00:13:34.553
Sheila: amen, i'm clapping there.
00:13:34.553 --> 00:13:38.624
Wow, that is just fabulous.
00:13:38.624 --> 00:13:42.161
One of the things that you write about
00:13:42.161 --> 00:13:43.629
Is jesus reversing the curse
00:13:43.629 --> 00:13:46.465
And restoring god's creation to perfection.
00:13:46.465 --> 00:13:49.034
Dr. jeremiah: well, that's a very interesting thing.
00:13:49.034 --> 00:13:50.603
When you get into the bible
00:13:50.603 --> 00:13:51.937
In the first part of the book of genesis,
00:13:51.937 --> 00:13:54.139
You know that adam and eve sinned
00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:55.641
And then the curse came, and what was the curse?
00:13:55.641 --> 00:13:57.443
The curse on the ground,
00:13:57.443 --> 00:13:59.044
Adam and eve were separated
00:13:59.044 --> 00:14:00.379
In their intimate fellowship with god,
00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:02.648
The other parts of the curse.
00:14:02.648 --> 00:14:04.116
When you get to the millennium,
00:14:04.116 --> 00:14:05.584
All the things that we lost in the curse
00:14:05.584 --> 00:14:08.754
Are given back to us
00:14:08.754 --> 00:14:10.089
So that the world that god intended us
00:14:10.089 --> 00:14:11.891
To have at the beginning becomes ours at the end.
00:14:11.891 --> 00:14:15.194
And that's such a wonderful thing.
00:14:15.194 --> 00:14:17.429
You know, i used to sing in a quartet years ago
00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:20.432
And we used to sing this song,
00:14:20.432 --> 00:14:21.767
"this world is not my home, i'm just a-passing through."
00:14:21.767 --> 00:14:25.571
Aren't you glad this world isn't our home?
00:14:25.571 --> 00:14:27.139
I mean, especially now, right now.
00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:29.074
The world's falling apart.
00:14:29.074 --> 00:14:30.876
But this, you know,
00:14:30.876 --> 00:14:32.478
This is gonna be an amazing thing
00:14:32.478 --> 00:14:35.481
When all the things that went wrong in eden
00:14:35.481 --> 00:14:39.184
Are made right in the millennium.
00:14:39.184 --> 00:14:41.387
Sheila: wow, i think it's really interesting juxtaposition
00:14:41.387 --> 00:14:45.124
That while you're writing about this
00:14:45.124 --> 00:14:46.625
And you're talking about in the millennium
00:14:46.625 --> 00:14:48.360
There will be perfect health.
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.729
And you're writing about this too when you have gone through
00:14:50.729 --> 00:14:52.698
Some major health challenges yourself.
00:14:52.698 --> 00:14:55.000
Dr. jeremiah: well, let me just say this, sheila,
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.335
I don't have perfect health right now, i don't.
00:14:56.335 --> 00:14:59.271
I haven't had it for a year.
00:14:59.271 --> 00:15:01.173
In the millennium, the bible says
00:15:01.173 --> 00:15:04.977
That god is going to heal every disease
00:15:04.977 --> 00:15:08.180
And everything that comes to us is going to be mitigated.
00:15:08.180 --> 00:15:11.917
We won't have long sicknesses.
00:15:11.917 --> 00:15:14.286
There's another chapter and we'll probably get to it
00:15:14.286 --> 00:15:16.121
About long life and how we're going to live forever.
00:15:16.121 --> 00:15:20.125
Once we become christians, we don't take time off
00:15:20.125 --> 00:15:22.494
From going to the grave for a thousand years.
00:15:22.494 --> 00:15:25.431
We who go into the millennium,
00:15:25.431 --> 00:15:27.266
We're going to live for a thousand years.
00:15:27.266 --> 00:15:28.934
We're not going to die.
00:15:28.934 --> 00:15:30.536
And then at the end of the thousand years
00:15:30.536 --> 00:15:33.272
We'll go into our eternal state with the lord.
00:15:33.272 --> 00:15:35.341
So, if jesus comes back before you die
00:15:35.341 --> 00:15:37.543
You will never die.
00:15:37.543 --> 00:15:39.445
Not physically, not spiritually, not ever
00:15:39.445 --> 00:15:42.481
Because you will go with him into the millennium
00:15:42.481 --> 00:15:46.218
Where you will live for a thousand years
00:15:46.218 --> 00:15:48.120
And then you will go to heaven.
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.656
Sheila: i love the way you write about worship
00:15:50.656 --> 00:15:53.092
During the millennium.
00:15:53.092 --> 00:15:54.426
Talk to us about that.
00:15:54.426 --> 00:15:55.995
Dr. jeremiah: you know, in my lifetime as a pastor,
00:15:55.995 --> 00:15:58.864
And i know we have some other guys here
00:15:58.864 --> 00:16:00.332
Who are pastors, or on their way to being pastors,
00:16:00.332 --> 00:16:03.469
The most controversial thing in the church has been worship.
00:16:03.469 --> 00:16:07.006
Can i get a witness?
00:16:07.006 --> 00:16:08.774
I mean, we fight over that more than ever.
00:16:08.774 --> 00:16:10.209
Should you raise your hands, or shouldn't you?
00:16:10.209 --> 00:16:12.444
Sway back and forth, or not?
00:16:12.444 --> 00:16:14.747
Some people get down on--
00:16:14.747 --> 00:16:16.081
I mean, i don't like to fight over those things.
00:16:16.081 --> 00:16:18.917
I worry more about, what are the words in the song
00:16:18.917 --> 00:16:21.253
And are they biblical?
00:16:21.253 --> 00:16:22.921
And that can cause some challenges too.
00:16:22.921 --> 00:16:26.258
But in the millennium,
00:16:26.258 --> 00:16:27.593
There's going to be undivided worship,
00:16:27.593 --> 00:16:31.730
Where everyone from every tribe and every kindred and every race
00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:36.702
And every color will be together in worship.
00:16:36.702 --> 00:16:39.705
And there will be no division and there will be no discussion
00:16:39.705 --> 00:16:43.542
About whether this is right or not.
00:16:43.542 --> 00:16:45.244
We will be so focused on king jesus
00:16:45.244 --> 00:16:48.113
That nothing else will matter,
00:16:48.113 --> 00:16:49.882
And it'll be amazing.
00:16:49.882 --> 00:16:51.950
Announcer: stay tuned for more of dr. jeremiah's insights
00:16:51.950 --> 00:16:54.753
Into the coming golden age.
00:16:54.753 --> 00:16:57.990
Announcer: the millennium.
00:17:01.627 --> 00:17:02.961
It's the most important 1,000 years on earth,
00:17:02.961 --> 00:17:06.198
But you likely know almost nothing about it.
00:17:06.198 --> 00:17:09.334
In "the coming golden age: 31 ways to be kingdom ready,"
00:17:09.334 --> 00:17:13.272
Dr. david jeremiah takes you on a fascinating tour
00:17:13.272 --> 00:17:16.108
Of this prophetic period
00:17:16.108 --> 00:17:17.476
Set to arrive after the rapture and tribulation
00:17:17.476 --> 00:17:20.279
Where christ rules the earth for 1,000 years.
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.682
Throughout 31 short, easy-to-read chapters,
00:17:23.682 --> 00:17:26.552
Dr. jeremiah reveals how god promises
00:17:26.552 --> 00:17:28.887
A world without war, illness, and aging,
00:17:28.887 --> 00:17:31.790
And a world with perfect peace, prosperity, and equality.
00:17:31.790 --> 00:17:36.261
The best part, the millennium could be closer than you think,
00:17:36.261 --> 00:17:39.164
And what you do today will affect your experience
00:17:39.164 --> 00:17:41.600
During that time, as well as right now.
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:44.736

Announcer: welcome back as dr. david jeremiah discusses
00:18:18.704 --> 00:18:21.573
His series, "the coming golden age,"
00:18:21.573 --> 00:18:24.309
With sheila walsh.
00:18:24.309 --> 00:18:27.012
Sheila: you write a lot about true happiness and joy.
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.282
I mean, we're living in a time where there's so much anxiety
00:18:30.282 --> 00:18:33.085
And loneliness and stress.
00:18:33.085 --> 00:18:35.020
But we are promised true happiness and joy
00:18:35.020 --> 00:18:37.656
In the millennium.
00:18:37.656 --> 00:18:39.057
Dr. jeremiah: when we get to the millennium,
00:18:39.057 --> 00:18:40.592
We're going to have unmitigated happiness and joy.
00:18:40.592 --> 00:18:46.131
And think about the moment in your life
00:18:46.131 --> 00:18:48.367
When you would be the happiest.
00:18:48.367 --> 00:18:50.335
And don't ask yourself, "was that joy or was that happiness?"
00:18:50.335 --> 00:18:53.639
It was both because it came from god,
00:18:53.639 --> 00:18:57.276
And god wants us to have happiness
00:18:57.276 --> 00:18:59.077
And he smiles when we're happy,
00:18:59.077 --> 00:19:01.079
And that will be a wonderful time in the future.
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.183
Sheila: you write about something
00:19:04.183 --> 00:19:05.517
That impacts every single one of us in here
00:19:05.517 --> 00:19:07.386
And those watching at home,
00:19:07.386 --> 00:19:08.787
And that is that jesus will give out rewards.
00:19:08.787 --> 00:19:11.790
That's--i haven't heard a lot of messages on that either.
00:19:11.790 --> 00:19:15.327
Dr. jeremiah: when you get to the millennium
00:19:15.327 --> 00:19:16.795
And you see your king, he'll say, "well done."
00:19:16.795 --> 00:19:19.331
But people say, "what are we going to do in the millennium?"
00:19:19.331 --> 00:19:21.500
We're going to work. we're going to serve.
00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:23.936
And did you know, the bible teaches
00:19:23.936 --> 00:19:25.871
That your role of leadership and administration
00:19:25.871 --> 00:19:28.974
In the millennium is going to be based,
00:19:28.974 --> 00:19:30.909
To some degree, on your faithfulness to god
00:19:30.909 --> 00:19:33.812
During this life?
00:19:33.812 --> 00:19:36.181
So don't screw your life around here
00:19:36.181 --> 00:19:38.116
And go to the millennium
00:19:38.116 --> 00:19:39.451
And wonder why you're sweeping streets
00:19:39.451 --> 00:19:41.186
In the back alley, you know?
00:19:41.186 --> 00:19:43.855
The bible says your faithfulness here will determine
00:19:43.855 --> 00:19:48.493
Your administrative responsibility
00:19:48.493 --> 00:19:51.563
In the millennium.
00:19:51.563 --> 00:19:52.998
And we're going to be surprised when we get there to find out
00:19:52.998 --> 00:19:55.434
Who some of the people are that are making the decisions.
00:19:55.434 --> 00:19:59.271
Sheila: will there be sin in the millennium?
00:19:59.271 --> 00:20:01.840
Dr. jeremiah: well, there will be no sin
00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:03.709
That goes into the millennium,
00:20:03.709 --> 00:20:06.278
But there will be people in the millennium,
00:20:06.278 --> 00:20:08.914
In their human bodies, who will have children,
00:20:08.914 --> 00:20:11.617
And those children will not be--you know,
00:20:11.617 --> 00:20:15.320
God doesn't have any grandchildren,
00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:16.722
He only has children.
00:20:16.722 --> 00:20:18.357
And if you're born into the human family,
00:20:18.357 --> 00:20:21.126
You have to be born again to get in god's family.
00:20:21.126 --> 00:20:23.629
So, the children who are born
00:20:23.629 --> 00:20:26.365
To those who go into the millennium,
00:20:26.365 --> 00:20:28.667
Many of them will be unsaved, and there will be sin.
00:20:28.667 --> 00:20:32.771
Sheila: wow, but an opportunity for them to find christ?
00:20:32.771 --> 00:20:35.240
Dr. jeremiah: yes, there will be salvation too.
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.609
And somebody says, "well, what kind of salvation will it be?"
00:20:37.609 --> 00:20:40.012
It'll be the same kind that it is today.
00:20:40.012 --> 00:20:42.047
You'll have to believe in jesus and be forgiven.
00:20:42.047 --> 00:20:45.050
Sheila: will people die,
00:20:45.050 --> 00:20:46.752
And who will die during the millennium?
00:20:46.752 --> 00:20:48.420
Dr. jeremiah: well, during the millennium,
00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:49.755
As i understand it,
00:20:49.755 --> 00:20:51.089
People who are rebellious against jesus christ will die,
00:20:51.089 --> 00:20:54.693
Unbelievers, and those who die in their sin will die.
00:20:54.693 --> 00:20:58.163
But christians, those who put their trust in christ,
00:20:58.163 --> 00:21:00.799
Will not die, death will not touch you
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:02.968
Because you're going to live for a thousand years
00:21:02.968 --> 00:21:06.705
And then go into heaven.
00:21:06.705 --> 00:21:09.241
Sheila: and then you talk about the fact
00:21:09.241 --> 00:21:10.809
That there will be no evil present during the millennium
00:21:10.809 --> 00:21:15.180
Why is that?
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:17.349
Dr. jeremiah: well, i say that because, you know,
00:21:17.349 --> 00:21:20.652
Why is there evil present in our world today?
00:21:20.652 --> 00:21:22.521
Because things happen and nobody does anything about it.
00:21:22.521 --> 00:21:25.724
There will be a short leash on anything that goes wrong
00:21:25.724 --> 00:21:28.360
In the millennium and king jesus
00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:29.828
Will make it right.
00:21:29.828 --> 00:21:31.196
There won't be a time for bad things to fester.
00:21:31.196 --> 00:21:33.699
Sin will only happen in those who are sinners.
00:21:33.699 --> 00:21:37.736
And if rebellion happens and things go wrong,
00:21:37.736 --> 00:21:40.439
Just in the justice chapter,
00:21:40.439 --> 00:21:42.407
King jesus will make it right.
00:21:42.407 --> 00:21:44.142
He's going to make all things right.
00:21:44.142 --> 00:21:45.811
Sheila: where will the devil be during the thousand years?
00:21:45.811 --> 00:21:48.046
Dr. jeremiah: oh, this is my favorite story.
00:21:48.046 --> 00:21:49.381
Sheila: i know, this is great.
00:21:49.381 --> 00:21:52.317
Dr. jeremiah: how many of you remember flip wilson?
00:21:52.317 --> 00:21:55.220
What did he say?
00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.588
"the devil made me do it."
00:21:56.588 --> 00:21:58.323
Oh, remember?
00:21:58.323 --> 00:21:59.791
Well, in the millennium, that isn't going to happen.
00:21:59.791 --> 00:22:02.461
You know why?
00:22:02.461 --> 00:22:03.795
The bible says that satan
00:22:03.795 --> 00:22:05.764
Will be cast into the bottomless pit,
00:22:05.764 --> 00:22:07.999
Into the abyss, and he will be chained there
00:22:07.999 --> 00:22:11.203
For 1,000 years.
00:22:11.203 --> 00:22:12.537
So throughout the entire millennium
00:22:12.537 --> 00:22:15.006
There will be no presence of satan.
00:22:15.006 --> 00:22:18.343
We're told in the bible that we have three enemies:
00:22:18.343 --> 00:22:21.346
The flesh, the devil, and the world.
00:22:21.346 --> 00:22:24.383
And in the millennium,
00:22:24.383 --> 00:22:25.717
One of those enemies is gonna be taken away.
00:22:25.717 --> 00:22:28.387
The devil won't be present.
00:22:28.387 --> 00:22:29.955
But you know,
00:22:29.955 --> 00:22:31.556
I have a chapter in this book called "no excuses,"
00:22:31.556 --> 00:22:34.292
And what that's going to do, guys, is this.
00:22:34.292 --> 00:22:38.230
Maybe you think that you're a christian
00:22:38.230 --> 00:22:39.931
And you're having all these problems
00:22:39.931 --> 00:22:41.833
With temptation and sin
00:22:41.833 --> 00:22:43.201
Because the devil just won't leave you alone.
00:22:43.201 --> 00:22:45.971
When you get into the millennium,
00:22:45.971 --> 00:22:47.773
You're going to have some of those same problems
00:22:47.773 --> 00:22:49.374
And you won't be able to blame the devil
00:22:49.374 --> 00:22:51.443
'cause he won't be here.
00:22:51.443 --> 00:22:53.278
So what that tells us is our problems with sin
00:22:53.278 --> 00:22:56.648
Aren't totally the devil's fault.
00:22:56.648 --> 00:22:58.350
We have a sin nature.
00:22:58.350 --> 00:22:59.851
And if we don't deal with that,
00:22:59.851 --> 00:23:02.254
Whether satan's present or not doesn't matter.
00:23:02.254 --> 00:23:04.189
We're still gonna be sinful.
00:23:04.189 --> 00:23:05.690
So one of the things that will happen
00:23:05.690 --> 00:23:07.592
During the millennial time,
00:23:07.592 --> 00:23:09.461
And even in the rebellion at the end,
00:23:09.461 --> 00:23:11.663
Is that god is gonna prove
00:23:11.663 --> 00:23:13.165
How evil the human heart is without god,
00:23:13.165 --> 00:23:16.568
And it's not all about satan.
00:23:16.568 --> 00:23:18.069
Satan's a part of it.
00:23:18.069 --> 00:23:19.404
He takes what he gets
00:23:19.404 --> 00:23:20.739
And weaves it into something terrible,
00:23:20.739 --> 00:23:22.774
But we--there's this old poem that i read
00:23:22.774 --> 00:23:25.544
Every time i get a chance at reciting it.
00:23:25.544 --> 00:23:27.479
It goes like this, "two natures beat within my breast,
00:23:27.479 --> 00:23:31.950
The one is foul, the one is blessed,
00:23:31.950 --> 00:23:34.586
The one i love, the one i hate.
00:23:34.586 --> 00:23:37.155
And the one i feed will dominate."
00:23:37.155 --> 00:23:39.391
So when we live as christians in this life,
00:23:39.391 --> 00:23:43.094
We should concentrate on feeding the new nature.
00:23:43.094 --> 00:23:45.897
If we happen to be alive and go into the millennium,
00:23:45.897 --> 00:23:50.802
We won't ever have the devil to blame
00:23:50.802 --> 00:23:52.671
For whatever we do if it's wrong.
00:23:52.671 --> 00:23:54.406
It'll be all us.
00:23:54.406 --> 00:23:56.241
Sheila: one of the things i've struggled to understand
00:23:56.241 --> 00:23:58.677
Is at the end of that thousand year period,
00:23:58.677 --> 00:24:01.012
Satan will be released from the pit.
00:24:01.012 --> 00:24:03.515
Why would he be given another opportunity?
00:24:03.515 --> 00:24:06.151
Dr. jeremiah: you know, god goes to great lengths
00:24:06.151 --> 00:24:08.820
To prove his point to us, you know,
00:24:08.820 --> 00:24:11.957
That we are helpless without him,
00:24:11.957 --> 00:24:15.360
That we are hopeless without him,
00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:16.862
That we're sinful without him.
00:24:16.862 --> 00:24:19.097
And we may think, okay, we lived through this great millennium,
00:24:19.097 --> 00:24:22.267
Here's satan out for a little bit.
00:24:22.267 --> 00:24:24.469
He will prove again his power
00:24:24.469 --> 00:24:26.571
And many will fall prey at the end.
00:24:26.571 --> 00:24:29.241
These unbelievers will fall prey to it
00:24:29.241 --> 00:24:30.909
And there will be this rebellion on earth,
00:24:30.909 --> 00:24:33.545
And it will be just one more point
00:24:33.545 --> 00:24:35.413
That god is making.
00:24:35.413 --> 00:24:36.815
You need to be regenerated, you need to have a new heart,
00:24:36.815 --> 00:24:40.018
You need to be born again, you need to be a new creature.
00:24:40.018 --> 00:24:43.221
If you're not going to be that, you're going to be a victim.
00:24:43.221 --> 00:24:48.727
Sheila: i wanted to ask how should we be living now
00:24:48.727 --> 00:24:52.163
In light of the millennium?
00:24:52.163 --> 00:24:54.432
Dr. jeremiah: well, i think what we should be doing
00:24:54.432 --> 00:24:56.568
Right now is obviously living for the lord.
00:24:56.568 --> 00:24:59.404
We should study this and realize if god had a perfect world
00:24:59.404 --> 00:25:03.208
This is what it would look like.
00:25:03.208 --> 00:25:05.277
How would i want to be if i were living in that world?
00:25:05.277 --> 00:25:08.380
I want to have joy and happiness.
00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:10.015
I want to be a man of justice.
00:25:10.015 --> 00:25:11.950
I want to be holy.
00:25:11.950 --> 00:25:13.385
There's a lot in the book about holiness
00:25:13.385 --> 00:25:14.853
And giving glory to god.
00:25:14.853 --> 00:25:16.655
It's really just another way of looking at the christian life
00:25:16.655 --> 00:25:19.591
In it's ultimate fulfillment
00:25:19.591 --> 00:25:21.760
And it's such a goal center for me to look at that
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:25.263
And realize god has a plan for this world
00:25:25.263 --> 00:25:28.500
That is beyond anything you and i can imagine.
00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:31.169
And as bad it seems right now god has something coming
00:25:31.169 --> 00:25:34.205
That's so much better it's going to make this all--we'll forget
00:25:34.205 --> 00:25:36.541
This before we know it when we see what he has.
00:25:36.541 --> 00:25:39.277
Sheila: you touched on israel and the jewish people
00:25:39.277 --> 00:25:41.279
Are preparing already for the golden age.
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.381
Talk to us about the temple being rebuilt.
00:25:43.381 --> 00:25:45.450
Dr. jeremiah: you know, in the bible there are five temples.
00:25:45.450 --> 00:25:47.319
Did you know that?
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:48.653
The last temple to be rebuilt is ezekiel's temple.
00:25:48.653 --> 00:25:51.323
And to understand this you have to realize
00:25:51.323 --> 00:25:53.725
That when jesus comes back,
00:25:53.725 --> 00:25:55.260
His feet will touch on the mount of olives.
00:25:55.260 --> 00:25:58.196
The bible describes some topological things
00:25:58.196 --> 00:26:01.433
That are going to happen then.
00:26:01.433 --> 00:26:03.201
The valley will be split from north to south.
00:26:03.201 --> 00:26:06.438
Water will run into that valley and, in fact, one of the things
00:26:06.438 --> 00:26:08.940
That's interesting, one end of that
00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:11.209
When it's done, will reach the dead sea
00:26:11.209 --> 00:26:13.845
And turn the dead sea into fresh water.
00:26:13.845 --> 00:26:16.014
In fact, there's a passage in the old testament
00:26:16.014 --> 00:26:18.183
That talks about guys standing around the dead sea
00:26:18.183 --> 00:26:21.219
After it's touched by that river fishing.
00:26:21.219 --> 00:26:24.789
And there's no fish in the dead sea right now,
00:26:24.789 --> 00:26:26.758
Did you know that?
00:26:26.758 --> 00:26:28.259
At the same time, listen to this,
00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:30.362
The bible says the city of jerusalem will be elevated.
00:26:30.362 --> 00:26:34.099
It will go up, it will be elevated to the point
00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:37.302
Where it will be the highest city.
00:26:37.302 --> 00:26:38.870
And then you read in the scripture
00:26:38.870 --> 00:26:40.305
About going up to see the king.
00:26:40.305 --> 00:26:42.607
That's literally true.
00:26:42.607 --> 00:26:43.942
You're going up because he's in the temple
00:26:43.942 --> 00:26:46.177
At the highest point.
00:26:46.177 --> 00:26:48.079
And the bible even gives the dimensions
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:50.749
Of the property up there and how big--the fifth temple
00:26:50.749 --> 00:26:53.551
Is the largest of the five.
00:26:53.551 --> 00:26:55.387
It's a huge temple.
00:26:55.387 --> 00:26:57.122
And the jewish people will worship there
00:26:57.122 --> 00:27:01.426
Not as old testament jews but as believers in the messiah.
00:27:01.426 --> 00:27:06.431
You write in the book beautifully
00:27:06.431 --> 00:27:07.766
About peace on earth and i'm thinking about
00:27:07.766 --> 00:27:10.168
People in here and our viewers
00:27:10.168 --> 00:27:12.203
Where that seems a distant thought.
00:27:12.203 --> 00:27:15.340
How does the promise of the millennium bring us hope?
00:27:15.340 --> 00:27:19.377
Dr. jeremiah: there's several kinds of peace.
00:27:19.377 --> 00:27:20.812
There's peace with god.
00:27:20.812 --> 00:27:23.014
That's what we get when we get saved
00:27:23.014 --> 00:27:24.816
Because the bible tells us before we become christians
00:27:24.816 --> 00:27:27.218
We're at enmity with god.
00:27:27.218 --> 00:27:29.154
When we receive jesus christ we know peace with god.
00:27:29.154 --> 00:27:33.091
And then there's the peace of god.
00:27:33.091 --> 00:27:36.294
That's what you get when you're a christian
00:27:36.294 --> 00:27:38.096
And you're walking with the lord,
00:27:38.096 --> 00:27:39.631
And you may be going through a difficult time,
00:27:39.631 --> 00:27:41.332
But god gives you a sense of peace that things are well.
00:27:41.332 --> 00:27:45.070
The well being in your life.
00:27:45.070 --> 00:27:46.404
I've known some of that over this last year,
00:27:46.404 --> 00:27:48.039
It's been great.
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:49.908
So, when we get to the millennium,
00:27:49.908 --> 00:27:52.043
There won't be any distinction between that
00:27:52.043 --> 00:27:53.878
Because peace will just be the atmosphere in which we live.
00:27:53.878 --> 00:27:56.748
It will be every day in our lives,
00:27:56.748 --> 00:27:58.216
Every day in our government,
00:27:58.216 --> 00:27:59.617
Every day in what goes on around us,
00:27:59.617 --> 00:28:01.219
Every day in our conversations,
00:28:01.219 --> 00:28:03.388
It will be peace everywhere.
00:28:03.388 --> 00:28:05.390
Not just peace as we see it today.
00:28:05.390 --> 00:28:08.193
Sheila: you have spent your entire life
00:28:08.193 --> 00:28:10.528
Pouring into us.
00:28:10.528 --> 00:28:11.863
You've spent your entire life encouraging us,
00:28:11.863 --> 00:28:13.898
Studying the word of god, writing great books.
00:28:13.898 --> 00:28:16.701
When you finished writing this book,
00:28:16.701 --> 00:28:18.570
What was there, particularly, that encouraged you,
00:28:18.570 --> 00:28:21.106
Dr. david jeremiah?
00:28:21.106 --> 00:28:23.007
Dr. jeremiah: i just was so--you know,
00:28:23.007 --> 00:28:24.576
God's plan is so much better than anything anybody's got,
00:28:24.576 --> 00:28:28.213
Any politician's got, any pastor's got.
00:28:28.213 --> 00:28:31.015
God's plan is so rich and pure and good,
00:28:31.015 --> 00:28:33.985
And i want to be a part of that plan in every way
00:28:33.985 --> 00:28:37.222
As i go toward that goal in my life now.
00:28:37.222 --> 00:28:40.558
I want to be the kind of man that god can bless
00:28:40.558 --> 00:28:42.527
Because i'm living a life that's honoring to him.
00:28:42.527 --> 00:28:45.430
I want to live righteous and godly.
00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:48.566
When i go into the millennium,
00:28:48.566 --> 00:28:49.901
I don't want to have to take two years to adjust
00:28:49.901 --> 00:28:52.003
To the righteousness of the millennium.
00:28:52.003 --> 00:28:54.339
I want to be able to walk in there
00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:56.207
And, obviously, i'll have some adjustments
00:28:56.207 --> 00:28:58.710
Like everybody else.
00:28:58.710 --> 00:29:00.411
But, you know, sometimes we get saved,
00:29:00.411 --> 00:29:02.680
And we generally get saved,
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.015
And then we live our christian life
00:29:04.015 --> 00:29:05.350
On such a low plane
00:29:05.350 --> 00:29:06.818
That it's almost hard to determine
00:29:06.818 --> 00:29:08.753
Whether we're christians or not.
00:29:08.753 --> 00:29:10.488
I want to be a god-honoring christian
00:29:10.488 --> 00:29:13.258
That lives his life in such a way
00:29:13.258 --> 00:29:15.560
That all the way through to the end
00:29:15.560 --> 00:29:16.895
I bring glory to his name.
00:29:16.895 --> 00:29:18.363
Sheila: amen, amen.
00:29:18.363 --> 00:29:22.367
I'm thinking of anyone
00:29:22.367 --> 00:29:23.701
Who might just have suddenly tuned into this program
00:29:23.701 --> 00:29:27.605
And they don't really know everything we're talking about
00:29:27.605 --> 00:29:30.508
And they don't really know jesus.
00:29:30.508 --> 00:29:32.143
Is there hope for them?
00:29:32.143 --> 00:29:34.813
Dr. jeremiah: you know, if you watch this program
00:29:34.813 --> 00:29:36.714
And you don't know jesus christ,
00:29:36.714 --> 00:29:38.716
You're just missing out on everything that's good
00:29:38.716 --> 00:29:41.786
That god wants you to know.
00:29:41.786 --> 00:29:43.555
He doesn't mean for you to live your life in discouragement
00:29:43.555 --> 00:29:47.625
And depression and wondering what's going to happen tomorrow.
00:29:47.625 --> 00:29:51.529
He wants to know you.
00:29:51.529 --> 00:29:53.832
He loves you.
00:29:53.832 --> 00:29:55.366
He wants to be with you and he wants you to be with him.
00:29:55.366 --> 00:29:58.269
But you have to get to the place
00:29:58.269 --> 00:30:00.338
Where you're willing to deal with the sin barrier.
00:30:00.338 --> 00:30:03.107
The bible says, "all have sinned and come short
00:30:03.107 --> 00:30:05.643
Of the glory of god,"
00:30:05.643 --> 00:30:06.978
And that "the wages of sin are death."
00:30:06.978 --> 00:30:08.746
So if you don't deal with that, you can't know god.
00:30:08.746 --> 00:30:11.349
Jesus himself said, "i am the way,
00:30:11.349 --> 00:30:13.718
The truth, and the life.
00:30:13.718 --> 00:30:15.053
And no one comes to the father except through me."
00:30:15.053 --> 00:30:17.822
If you don't come to jesus, you can't know god.
00:30:17.822 --> 00:30:20.792
You may say, "well, i pray to god."
00:30:20.792 --> 00:30:22.260
Well, you're praying to whoever,
00:30:22.260 --> 00:30:23.862
But you can't know god apart from jesus christ.
00:30:23.862 --> 00:30:27.065
So what you need to do, if you've never done it before,
00:30:27.065 --> 00:30:30.635
Is to pray, tell jesus that you're sorry for your sin
00:30:30.635 --> 00:30:34.873
And ask him to come and cleanse your heart
00:30:34.873 --> 00:30:38.076
And give you the gift of eternal life,
00:30:38.076 --> 00:30:40.178
Which he promises to anyone who will ask for it.
00:30:40.178 --> 00:30:43.014
And if you pray that prayer and you ask him to do that,
00:30:43.014 --> 00:30:45.950
He will come and he will set up his throne in your heart
00:30:45.950 --> 00:30:49.854
And he will become king jesus in your life.
00:30:49.854 --> 00:30:52.857
And it will be so exciting to see how he takes your life
00:30:52.857 --> 00:30:56.294
To places you never dreamed you'd ever be able to go.
00:30:56.294 --> 00:30:59.597
I pray for that for you.
00:30:59.597 --> 00:31:01.866
I long for that for you.
00:31:01.866 --> 00:31:03.434
And even here in this small audience
00:31:03.434 --> 00:31:05.103
There may be someone who has never done that.
00:31:05.103 --> 00:31:07.538
So, i want to just pray and help you do that
00:31:07.538 --> 00:31:10.408
Before i turn this back over to sheila.
00:31:10.408 --> 00:31:13.011
Father, if there's anyone listening to this,
00:31:13.011 --> 00:31:15.980
Or watching this on television,
00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:18.016
Or anyone in this audience who never trusted you
00:31:18.016 --> 00:31:20.885
As their savior.
00:31:20.885 --> 00:31:22.620
Help them to do it tonight.
00:31:22.620 --> 00:31:24.289
Help them to do it today.
00:31:24.289 --> 00:31:25.924
You've said today is the day of salvation
00:31:25.924 --> 00:31:28.493
And anyone who comes you will receive,
00:31:28.493 --> 00:31:30.895
And you're not willing that any should perish.
00:31:30.895 --> 00:31:34.132
So, lord jesus help whoever is in that situation
00:31:34.132 --> 00:31:37.068
To pray this prayer in their heart.
00:31:37.068 --> 00:31:38.736
"dear god, i know i'm a sinner.
00:31:38.736 --> 00:31:41.839
I know i can't save myself.
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.175
I need jesus in my life to be my savior.
00:31:44.175 --> 00:31:47.512
So, i confess my sin and i ask for forgiveness.
00:31:47.512 --> 00:31:51.015
And i invite jesus christ to come into my life
00:31:51.015 --> 00:31:53.851
And be my savior.
00:31:53.851 --> 00:31:55.753
And i will receive you tonight, lord jesus.
00:31:55.753 --> 00:31:58.289
Please come into my heart
00:31:58.289 --> 00:32:00.458
And change me from the inside out."
00:32:00.458 --> 00:32:02.994
And he will do it.
00:32:02.994 --> 00:32:04.862
And the bible says when we become christians
00:32:04.862 --> 00:32:07.598
Old things pass away and all things become new.
00:32:07.598 --> 00:32:11.169
And you should watch for that transition because it'll happen.
00:32:11.169 --> 00:32:14.572
And i pray for you that god will solidify your faith,
00:32:14.572 --> 00:32:18.076
Bring close to you the people you know who will help you grow,
00:32:18.076 --> 00:32:22.146
And make you strong, and that you will be ready to make that
00:32:22.146 --> 00:32:25.817
Transition into the millennium when jesus comes back
00:32:25.817 --> 00:32:29.153
Because you received him into your heart
00:32:29.153 --> 00:32:30.955
And into your life.
00:32:30.955 --> 00:32:32.757
In jesus's name, amen.
00:32:32.757 --> 00:32:35.259
Sheila: amen, and dr. jeremiah, what can we say
00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:38.229
But thank you for being
00:32:38.229 --> 00:32:39.597

A global impact for the kingdom of god,

But we can't do it alone.
00:33:56.874 --> 00:33:58.643
That's where bible strong partners come in.
00:33:58.643 --> 00:34:01.145
Bible strong partners form the foundation of turning point,
00:34:01.145 --> 00:34:04.215

Announcer: coming up on "turning point."
00:34:22.200 --> 00:34:24.135
Dr. jeremiah: in the millennium,
00:34:25.136 --> 00:34:26.471
There's going to be undivided worship,
00:34:26.471 --> 00:34:29.340
Where everyone from every tribe and every kindred and every race
00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:34.312
And every color will be together in worship.
00:34:34.312 --> 00:34:37.315
And there will be no division.
00:34:37.315 --> 00:34:39.117
We will be so focused on king jesus
00:34:39.117 --> 00:34:42.153
That nothing else will matter,
00:34:42.153 --> 00:34:43.955
And it'll be amazing.
00:34:43.955 --> 00:34:45.990
Announcer: stay tuned
00:34:46.057 --> 00:34:47.391
For an encore presentation
00:34:47.391 --> 00:34:48.726
Of dr. jeremiah's powerful,
00:34:48.726 --> 00:34:50.128
"the coming golden age"
00:34:50.128 --> 00:34:51.562
Interview with sheila walsh.
00:34:51.562 --> 00:34:53.698
Here on "turning point."
00:34:53.698 --> 00:34:55.066
Dr. jeremiah: please help me welcome sheila walsh.
00:34:58.269 --> 00:35:01.506
[audience cheering]
00:35:01.506 --> 00:35:09.714
Sheila: oh, dr. jeremiah, this is so exciting.
00:35:09.714 --> 00:35:13.317
"the coming golden age."
00:35:13.317 --> 00:35:15.653
But honestly, i don't think i've heard many people
00:35:15.653 --> 00:35:17.955
Talk about that.
00:35:17.955 --> 00:35:19.323
I certainly haven't read another book like your book.
00:35:19.323 --> 00:35:22.560
Why did you write this book this time?
00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:24.795
Dr. jeremiah: you know, sheila, whenever i do a book project,
00:35:24.795 --> 00:35:26.664
One of the first things we do,
00:35:26.664 --> 00:35:28.399
I have a staff that helps me do this,
00:35:28.399 --> 00:35:29.867
We look up on the internet,
00:35:29.867 --> 00:35:32.403
And any other sources we can find,
00:35:32.403 --> 00:35:34.172
All the other books that might have been written
00:35:34.172 --> 00:35:36.107
On the particular subject we're going to write on.
00:35:36.107 --> 00:35:38.943
And when we began to look for books on the millennium,
00:35:38.943 --> 00:35:41.312
We couldn't find any except theological books
00:35:41.312 --> 00:35:44.382
That wanted to argue
00:35:44.382 --> 00:35:46.017
Over whether jesus comes back
00:35:46.017 --> 00:35:48.352
Before the millennium or after the millennium.
00:35:48.352 --> 00:35:50.555
I didn't think that would bless you all that much,
00:35:50.555 --> 00:35:52.623
So we kept looking
00:35:52.623 --> 00:35:54.592
And, finally, i remembered a statement
00:35:54.592 --> 00:35:57.895
That dwight pentecost made
00:35:57.895 --> 00:35:59.597
In a class that i had with him in seminary
00:35:59.597 --> 00:36:02.533
And i found it's written in some of his books.
00:36:02.533 --> 00:36:04.502
And here's what he said.
00:36:04.502 --> 00:36:06.103
He said there is more information in the bible
00:36:06.103 --> 00:36:09.073
About the millennium
00:36:09.073 --> 00:36:10.641
Than there is about any other subject,
00:36:10.641 --> 00:36:12.577
Including salvation, heaven, hell.
00:36:12.577 --> 00:36:15.913
He said the bible
00:36:15.913 --> 00:36:17.248
Is full of information on the millennium,
00:36:17.248 --> 00:36:19.083
But the information is spread out
00:36:19.083 --> 00:36:21.219
In the old testament, a few in the new,
00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:23.621
And nobody's ever collected it together
00:36:23.621 --> 00:36:25.623
So that we have an idea of what this is all about.
00:36:25.623 --> 00:36:29.026
When i finished with "the great disappearance,"
00:36:29.026 --> 00:36:30.661
I thought, well, what's next?
00:36:30.661 --> 00:36:31.996
Well, what's next is the tribulation.
00:36:31.996 --> 00:36:33.831
We already have a book on that.
00:36:33.831 --> 00:36:35.866
So the next thing was the millennium,
00:36:35.866 --> 00:36:37.535
And i dove into it.
00:36:37.535 --> 00:36:39.170
I have to admit, there were a few days after i got started,
00:36:39.170 --> 00:36:41.505
I wondered if i'd gotten in over my head.
00:36:41.505 --> 00:36:45.042
But it's been a real thrill to read and discuss
00:36:45.042 --> 00:36:47.678
And research these subjects.
00:36:47.678 --> 00:36:49.580
Sheila: you're gonna love this book, it's phenomenal.
00:36:49.580 --> 00:36:51.382
What does it mean to be kingdom ready?
00:36:51.382 --> 00:36:54.452
Dr. jeremiah: there are two aspects of the kingdom.
00:36:54.452 --> 00:36:56.754
There's the kingdom that's to come, the millennium,
00:36:56.754 --> 00:36:59.824
Which is referenced in revelation chapter 19,
00:36:59.824 --> 00:37:02.960
And then there's the kingdom that's already here.
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:06.731
In fact, there's a statement, and it's "almost but not yet."
00:37:06.731 --> 00:37:11.402
Almost we have the kingdom,
00:37:11.402 --> 00:37:12.770
Because when jesus christ comes into your life,
00:37:12.770 --> 00:37:15.339
He becomes your lord and your savior
00:37:15.339 --> 00:37:17.275
And he becomes the king of your life.
00:37:17.275 --> 00:37:19.210
So if you're a christian, you're already in the kingdom.
00:37:19.210 --> 00:37:22.179
There's a verse that says, "we've been translated
00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:25.182
From the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his son."
00:37:25.182 --> 00:37:29.320
So if you're here as a christian, congratulations.
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.323
We're kingdom buddies, kingdom brothers and sisters,
00:37:32.323 --> 00:37:35.059
And we already are in the kingdom.
00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:37.728
But the bible also says
00:37:37.728 --> 00:37:39.330
That one day jesus christ himself, the king,
00:37:39.330 --> 00:37:43.067
Is going to come back to this earth
00:37:43.067 --> 00:37:44.635
And set up his kingdom for a thousand years
00:37:44.635 --> 00:37:47.805
And reign and rule on this earth.
00:37:47.805 --> 00:37:49.807
That's the kingdom to come.
00:37:49.807 --> 00:37:51.609
So there's the kingdom that's in your heart
00:37:51.609 --> 00:37:54.078
And the kingdom that's to come.
00:37:54.078 --> 00:37:56.147
Sheila: now, you have gone through scripture
00:37:56.147 --> 00:37:58.582
From the beginning
00:37:58.582 --> 00:37:59.917
Until the revelation given to john
00:37:59.917 --> 00:38:02.186
And you've pulled all these threads together.
00:38:02.186 --> 00:38:03.988
So where does the millennium fit in god's prophetic timeline?
00:38:03.988 --> 00:38:08.125
Dr. jeremiah: okay, here's how that works.
00:38:08.125 --> 00:38:10.294
We are living now in the church age
00:38:10.294 --> 00:38:12.596
And we know, if we've studied the bible,
00:38:12.596 --> 00:38:14.298
That the next thing to happen is the rapture of the church.
00:38:14.298 --> 00:38:17.435
The church will go to heaven.
00:38:17.435 --> 00:38:18.769
And then comes a period of seven years of tribulation.
00:38:18.769 --> 00:38:22.873
We won't be here, we'll be in heaven,
00:38:22.873 --> 00:38:24.408
But the tribulation will be divided
00:38:24.408 --> 00:38:26.844
Into two pieces, the first half,
00:38:26.844 --> 00:38:29.480
The great tribulation, the second half.
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.049
At the end of the great tribulation,
00:38:32.049 --> 00:38:33.918
Jesus will come back and he will win the victory
00:38:33.918 --> 00:38:37.221
Of the battle of armageddon.
00:38:37.221 --> 00:38:38.589
And when that happens,
00:38:38.589 --> 00:38:40.391
The kingdom is ushered in on this earth.
00:38:40.391 --> 00:38:43.394
Sheila: so what is jesus's role,
00:38:43.394 --> 00:38:45.696
Particularly during the millennium?
00:38:45.696 --> 00:38:48.366
Dr. jeremiah: well, you know, the bible teaches in prophecy
00:38:48.366 --> 00:38:50.668
That jesus will come back one day
00:38:50.668 --> 00:38:52.803
And he will sit on the throne of david.
00:38:52.803 --> 00:38:54.405
He will be the king of the earth.
00:38:54.405 --> 00:38:56.741
So, first of all, he comes back as a fulfillment
00:38:56.741 --> 00:38:59.043
Of prophecy.
00:38:59.043 --> 00:39:00.678
Those prophecies in the old testament
00:39:00.678 --> 00:39:02.146
Aren't just mysterious they're actual.
00:39:02.146 --> 00:39:05.716
There is coming a time when king jesus
00:39:05.716 --> 00:39:07.918
Will sit on the throne in jerusalem
00:39:07.918 --> 00:39:10.888
And be king over all the earth.
00:39:10.888 --> 00:39:12.823
When he returns,
00:39:12.823 --> 00:39:15.092
To fight the battle of armageddon
00:39:15.092 --> 00:39:16.560
And then we're ushered in to the kingdom,
00:39:16.560 --> 00:39:18.963
He will actually go to jerusalem.
00:39:18.963 --> 00:39:21.132
He will be seated on the throne there.
00:39:21.132 --> 00:39:23.367
And he won't just be king of israel
00:39:23.367 --> 00:39:25.169
Or king of jerusalem,
00:39:25.169 --> 00:39:26.504
He'll be king of the whole world.
00:39:26.504 --> 00:39:28.639
Sheila: you've already touched on the "already, but not yet."
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.642
How does the lord's prayer help us understand that?
00:39:31.642 --> 00:39:34.979
Dr. jeremiah: you know, i remember years ago, sheila,
00:39:34.979 --> 00:39:36.680
I preached a series of messages on the lord's prayer
00:39:36.680 --> 00:39:39.984
And i made a little list for the inside of my bible.
00:39:39.984 --> 00:39:43.154
And part of the list was, "you pray for your priorities."
00:39:43.154 --> 00:39:47.057
And that priority section was this little phrase,
00:39:47.057 --> 00:39:49.927
"thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven."
00:39:49.927 --> 00:39:53.631
And i began to think how wonderful it would be
00:39:53.631 --> 00:39:56.033
To pray every day, "lord,
00:39:56.033 --> 00:39:57.368
Help my life to reflect heaven's priorities.
00:39:57.368 --> 00:40:01.772
Help me to live every day in such a way
00:40:01.772 --> 00:40:04.241
That your will is being done in my life
00:40:04.241 --> 00:40:06.076
Even as if i were in heaven already."
00:40:06.076 --> 00:40:08.412
Sheila: i love that, that is a great prayer
00:40:08.412 --> 00:40:10.247
To begin every day with.
00:40:10.247 --> 00:40:12.349
Some people might confuse the millennium with heaven,
00:40:12.349 --> 00:40:15.953
But they're not the same, right?
00:40:15.953 --> 00:40:17.488
Dr. jeremiah: no, well, you're absolutely right.
00:40:17.488 --> 00:40:19.156
A lot of people confuse it because a lot of people use
00:40:19.156 --> 00:40:21.559
The millennial passages to describe what heaven's like.
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.995
And the millennium and heaven are very similar.
00:40:24.995 --> 00:40:27.164
I mean, they're not totally different.
00:40:27.164 --> 00:40:29.500
But after the thousand-year reign of christ,
00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:32.703
There will be a final rebellion,
00:40:32.703 --> 00:40:34.171
But then the eternal state will begin, and that's heaven.
00:40:34.171 --> 00:40:37.208
Heaven is after the millennium, not the same as the millennium.
00:40:37.208 --> 00:40:42.012
Sheila: in the section in your book
00:40:42.012 --> 00:40:43.581
Where you talk about what will be in the millennium,
00:40:43.581 --> 00:40:46.150
I mean, stay tuned, buckle your seat belts, it's great,
00:40:46.150 --> 00:40:49.753
But you talk about justice.
00:40:49.753 --> 00:40:51.922
What will that look like in the millennium?
00:40:51.922 --> 00:40:53.657
Dr. jeremiah: well, there won't be any room for any discussion
00:40:53.657 --> 00:40:55.860
Because the ultimate thing that will happen
00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:58.362
Is truth will be executed.
00:40:58.362 --> 00:41:00.598
And everything will be done, it will be absolutely right
00:41:00.598 --> 00:41:03.601
With no possibility of it being wrong.
00:41:03.601 --> 00:41:06.170
And there won't be any injustice where people are treated wrongly
00:41:06.170 --> 00:41:10.140
Because somebody doesn't know the truth,
00:41:10.140 --> 00:41:12.009
Because the truth will be sitting on the throne.
00:41:12.009 --> 00:41:14.578
Sheila: amen, i'm clapping there.
00:41:14.578 --> 00:41:18.649
Wow, that is just fabulous.
00:41:18.649 --> 00:41:22.186
One of the things that you write about
00:41:22.186 --> 00:41:23.654
Is jesus reversing the curse
00:41:23.654 --> 00:41:26.490
And restoring god's creation to perfection.
00:41:26.490 --> 00:41:29.059
Dr. jeremiah: well, that's a very interesting thing.
00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:30.628
When you get into the bible
00:41:30.628 --> 00:41:31.962
In the first part of the book of genesis,
00:41:31.962 --> 00:41:34.164
You know that adam and eve sinned
00:41:34.164 --> 00:41:35.666
And then the curse came, and what was the curse?
00:41:35.666 --> 00:41:37.468
The curse on the ground,
00:41:37.468 --> 00:41:39.069
Adam and eve were separated
00:41:39.069 --> 00:41:40.404
In their intimate fellowship with god,
00:41:40.404 --> 00:41:42.673
The other parts of the curse.
00:41:42.673 --> 00:41:44.141
When you get to the millennium,
00:41:44.141 --> 00:41:45.609
All the things that we lost in the curse
00:41:45.609 --> 00:41:48.779
Are given back to us
00:41:48.779 --> 00:41:50.114
So that the world that god intended us
00:41:50.114 --> 00:41:51.916
To have at the beginning becomes ours at the end.
00:41:51.916 --> 00:41:55.219
And that's such a wonderful thing.
00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:57.454
You know, i used to sing in a quartet years ago
00:41:57.454 --> 00:42:00.457
And we used to sing this song,
00:42:00.457 --> 00:42:01.792
"this world is not my home, i'm just a-passing through."
00:42:01.792 --> 00:42:05.596
Aren't you glad this world isn't our home?
00:42:05.596 --> 00:42:07.164
I mean, especially now, right now.
00:42:07.164 --> 00:42:09.099
The world's falling apart.
00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:10.901
But this, you know,
00:42:10.901 --> 00:42:12.503
This is gonna be an amazing thing
00:42:12.503 --> 00:42:15.506
When all the things that went wrong in eden
00:42:15.506 --> 00:42:19.209
Are made right in the millennium.
00:42:19.209 --> 00:42:22.313
Sheila: wow, i love the way you write about worship
00:42:22.313 --> 00:42:24.949
During the millennium.
00:42:24.949 --> 00:42:26.283
Talk to us about that.
00:42:26.283 --> 00:42:27.851
Dr. jeremiah: you know, in my lifetime as a pastor,
00:42:27.851 --> 00:42:30.721
And i know we have some other guys here
00:42:30.721 --> 00:42:32.189
Who are pastors, or on their way to being pastors,
00:42:32.189 --> 00:42:35.326
The most controversial thing in the church has been worship.
00:42:35.326 --> 00:42:38.862
Can i get a witness?
00:42:38.862 --> 00:42:40.631
I mean, we fight over that more than ever.
00:42:40.631 --> 00:42:42.399
Should you raise your hands, or shouldn't you?
00:42:42.399 --> 00:42:44.635
Sway back and forth, or not?
00:42:44.635 --> 00:42:46.937
Some people get down on--
00:42:46.937 --> 00:42:48.272
I mean, i don't like to fight over those things.
00:42:48.272 --> 00:42:51.108
I worry more about, what are the words in the song
00:42:51.108 --> 00:42:53.444
And are they biblical?
00:42:53.444 --> 00:42:55.112
And that can cause some challenges too.
00:42:55.112 --> 00:42:58.215
But in the millennium,
00:42:58.215 --> 00:42:59.550
There's going to be undivided worship,
00:42:59.550 --> 00:43:03.687
Where everyone from every tribe and every kindred and every race
00:43:03.687 --> 00:43:08.659
And every color will be together in worship.
00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:11.662
And there will be no division and there will be no discussion
00:43:11.662 --> 00:43:15.499
About whether this is right or not.
00:43:15.499 --> 00:43:17.201
We will be so focused on king jesus
00:43:17.201 --> 00:43:20.070
That nothing else will matter,
00:43:20.070 --> 00:43:21.839
And it'll be amazing.
00:43:21.839 --> 00:43:23.907
Announcer: stay tuned for more of dr. jeremiah's insights
00:43:23.907 --> 00:43:26.710
Into the coming golden age.
00:43:26.710 --> 00:43:29.947
Announcer: the millennium.
00:43:33.584 --> 00:43:34.918
It's the most important 1,000 years on earth,
00:43:34.918 --> 00:43:38.155
But you likely know almost nothing about it.
00:43:38.155 --> 00:43:41.291
In "the coming golden age: 31 ways to be kingdom ready,"
00:43:41.291 --> 00:43:45.229
Dr. david jeremiah takes you on a fascinating tour
00:43:45.229 --> 00:43:48.065
Of this prophetic period
00:43:48.065 --> 00:43:49.433
Set to arrive after the rapture and tribulation
00:43:49.433 --> 00:43:52.236
Where christ rules the earth for 1,000 years.

Announcer: welcome back as dr. david jeremiah discusses
00:44:50.661 --> 00:44:53.530
His series, "the coming golden age,"
00:44:53.530 --> 00:44:56.233
With sheila walsh.
00:44:56.233 --> 00:44:58.969
Sheila: you write a lot about true happiness and joy.
00:44:59.036 --> 00:45:02.239
I mean, we're living in a time where there's so much anxiety
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:05.042
And loneliness and stress.
00:45:05.042 --> 00:45:06.977
But we are promised true happiness and joy
00:45:06.977 --> 00:45:09.613
In the millennium.
00:45:09.613 --> 00:45:11.014
Dr. jeremiah: when we get to the millennium,
00:45:11.014 --> 00:45:12.549
We're going to have unmitigated happiness and joy.
00:45:12.549 --> 00:45:18.088
And think about the moment in your life
00:45:18.088 --> 00:45:20.324
When you would be the happiest.
00:45:20.324 --> 00:45:22.292
And don't ask yourself, "was that joy or was that happiness?"
00:45:22.292 --> 00:45:25.596
It was both because it came from god,
00:45:25.596 --> 00:45:29.233
And god wants us to have happiness
00:45:29.233 --> 00:45:31.034
And he smiles when we're happy,
00:45:31.034 --> 00:45:33.036
And that will be a wonderful time in the future.
00:45:33.036 --> 00:45:36.373
Sheila: i think of that when i think of that great hymn,
00:45:36.373 --> 00:45:38.175
"joy to the world," i love that hymn.
00:45:38.175 --> 00:45:41.011
Speak about that hymn.
00:45:41.011 --> 00:45:42.746
Dr. jeremiah: well, "joy to the world,"
00:45:42.746 --> 00:45:44.715
Everybody thinks that's a christmas hymn
00:45:44.715 --> 00:45:46.283
But it's a millennium hymn.
00:45:46.283 --> 00:45:48.118
Sheila: wow, i did not know.
00:45:48.118 --> 00:45:49.653
Dr. jeremiah: oh yeah, "joy to the world,
00:45:49.653 --> 00:45:50.988
The lord has come," has he come?
00:45:50.988 --> 00:45:52.322
Sheila: no, not yet.
00:45:52.322 --> 00:45:53.657
Dr. jeremiah: "let earth receive her king."
00:45:53.657 --> 00:45:54.992
The king isn't here yet.
00:45:54.992 --> 00:45:56.627
So, i don't know if when he wrote that
00:45:56.627 --> 00:46:00.264
He meant it to be a millennial hymn,
00:46:00.264 --> 00:46:01.999
But it turned out to be a christmas hymn.
00:46:01.999 --> 00:46:03.767
And i'm not trying to mess up your hymn book.
00:46:03.767 --> 00:46:05.569
I'm going to say it's one of my favorite christmas hymns.
00:46:05.569 --> 00:46:08.405
But it's not really a christmas hymn.
00:46:08.405 --> 00:46:10.007
It talks about, "joy to the world,
00:46:10.007 --> 00:46:11.475
The lord has come, let earth receive her king."
00:46:11.475 --> 00:46:15.112
That's the millennium,
00:46:15.112 --> 00:46:16.446
That's when jesus comes back as our king.
00:46:16.446 --> 00:46:18.949
Sheila: you write about something
00:46:19.016 --> 00:46:20.350
That impacts every single one of us in here
00:46:20.350 --> 00:46:22.219
And those watching at home,
00:46:22.219 --> 00:46:23.620
And that is that jesus will give out rewards.
00:46:23.620 --> 00:46:26.623
That's--i haven't heard a lot of messages on that either.
00:46:26.623 --> 00:46:30.160
Dr. jeremiah: when you get to the millennium
00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:31.628
And you see your king, he'll say, "well done."
00:46:31.628 --> 00:46:34.164
But people say, "what are we going to do in the millennium?"
00:46:34.164 --> 00:46:36.333
We're going to work. we're going to serve.
00:46:36.333 --> 00:46:38.769
And did you know, the bible teaches
00:46:38.769 --> 00:46:40.704
That your role of leadership and administration
00:46:40.704 --> 00:46:43.807
In the millennium is going to be based,
00:46:43.807 --> 00:46:45.742
To some degree, on your faithfulness to god
00:46:45.742 --> 00:46:48.645
During this life?
00:46:48.645 --> 00:46:51.014
So don't screw your life around here
00:46:51.014 --> 00:46:52.950
And go to the millennium
00:46:52.950 --> 00:46:54.284
And wonder why you're sweeping streets
00:46:54.284 --> 00:46:56.019
In the back alley, you know?
00:46:56.019 --> 00:46:58.689
The bible says your faithfulness here will determine
00:46:58.689 --> 00:47:03.327
Your administrative responsibility
00:47:03.327 --> 00:47:06.396
In the millennium.
00:47:06.396 --> 00:47:07.831
And we're going to be surprised when we get there to find out
00:47:07.831 --> 00:47:10.267
Who some of the people are that are making the decisions.
00:47:10.267 --> 00:47:14.104
Sheila: will there be sin in the millennium?
00:47:14.104 --> 00:47:16.673
Dr. jeremiah: well, there will be no sin
00:47:16.673 --> 00:47:18.542
That goes into the millennium,
00:47:18.542 --> 00:47:21.111
But there will be people in the millennium,
00:47:21.111 --> 00:47:23.747
In their human bodies, who will have children,
00:47:23.747 --> 00:47:26.450
And those children will not be--you know,
00:47:26.450 --> 00:47:30.153
God doesn't have any grandchildren,
00:47:30.153 --> 00:47:31.555
He only has children.
00:47:31.555 --> 00:47:33.190
And if you're born into the human family,
00:47:33.190 --> 00:47:35.959
You have to be born again to get in god's family.
00:47:35.959 --> 00:47:38.462
So, the children who are born
00:47:38.462 --> 00:47:41.198
To those who go into the millennium,
00:47:41.198 --> 00:47:43.500
Many of them will be unsaved, and there will be sin.
00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:47.604
Sheila: wow, but an opportunity for them to find christ?
00:47:47.604 --> 00:47:50.073
Dr. jeremiah: yes, there will be salvation too.
00:47:50.073 --> 00:47:52.442
And somebody says, "well, what kind of salvation will it be?"
00:47:52.442 --> 00:47:54.845
It'll be the same kind that it is today.
00:47:54.845 --> 00:47:56.880
You'll have to believe in jesus and be forgiven.
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.883
Sheila: will people die,
00:47:59.883 --> 00:48:01.585
And who will die during the millennium?
00:48:01.585 --> 00:48:03.253
Dr. jeremiah: well, during the millennium,
00:48:03.253 --> 00:48:04.588
As i understand it,
00:48:04.588 --> 00:48:05.923
People who are rebellious against jesus christ will die,
00:48:05.923 --> 00:48:09.526
Unbelievers, and those who die in their sin will die.
00:48:09.526 --> 00:48:12.996
But christians, those who put their trust in christ,
00:48:12.996 --> 00:48:15.632
Will not die, death will not touch you
00:48:15.632 --> 00:48:17.801
Because you're going to live for a thousand years
00:48:17.801 --> 00:48:21.538
And then go into heaven.
00:48:21.538 --> 00:48:23.840
Sheila: where will the devil be during the thousand years?
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:26.076
Dr. jeremiah: oh, this is my favorite story.
00:48:26.076 --> 00:48:27.411
Sheila: i know, this is great.
00:48:27.411 --> 00:48:30.347
Dr. jeremiah: how many of you remember flip wilson?
00:48:30.347 --> 00:48:33.250
What did he say?
00:48:33.250 --> 00:48:34.618
"the devil made me do it."
00:48:34.618 --> 00:48:36.353
Oh, remember?
00:48:36.353 --> 00:48:37.821
Well, in the millennium, that isn't going to happen.
00:48:37.821 --> 00:48:40.490
You know why?
00:48:40.490 --> 00:48:41.825
The bible says that satan
00:48:41.825 --> 00:48:43.794
Will be cast into the bottomless pit,
00:48:43.794 --> 00:48:46.029
Into the abyss, and he will be chained there
00:48:46.029 --> 00:48:49.232
For 1,000 years.
00:48:49.232 --> 00:48:50.567
So throughout the entire millennium
00:48:50.567 --> 00:48:53.036
There will be no presence of satan.
00:48:53.036 --> 00:48:56.373
We're told in the bible that we have three enemies:
00:48:56.373 --> 00:48:59.376
The flesh, the devil, and the world.
00:48:59.376 --> 00:49:02.412
And in the millennium,
00:49:02.412 --> 00:49:03.747
One of those enemies is gonna be taken away.
00:49:03.747 --> 00:49:06.416
The devil won't be present.
00:49:06.416 --> 00:49:07.985
But you know,
00:49:07.985 --> 00:49:09.586
I have a chapter in this book called "no excuses,"
00:49:09.586 --> 00:49:12.322
And what that's going to do, guys, is this.
00:49:12.322 --> 00:49:16.259
Maybe you think that you're a christian
00:49:16.259 --> 00:49:17.961
And you're having all these problems
00:49:17.961 --> 00:49:19.863
With temptation and sin
00:49:19.863 --> 00:49:21.231
Because the devil just won't leave you alone.
00:49:21.231 --> 00:49:24.001
When you get into the millennium,
00:49:24.001 --> 00:49:25.802
You're going to have some of those same problems
00:49:25.802 --> 00:49:27.404
And you won't be able to blame the devil
00:49:27.404 --> 00:49:29.473
'cause he won't be here.
00:49:29.473 --> 00:49:31.308
So what that tells us is our problems with sin
00:49:31.308 --> 00:49:34.678
Aren't totally the devil's fault.
00:49:34.678 --> 00:49:36.380
We have a sin nature.
00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:37.881
And if we don't deal with that,
00:49:37.881 --> 00:49:40.283
Whether satan's present or not doesn't matter.
00:49:40.283 --> 00:49:42.219
We're still gonna be sinful.
00:49:42.219 --> 00:49:43.720
So one of the things that will happen
00:49:43.720 --> 00:49:45.622
During the millennial time,
00:49:45.622 --> 00:49:47.491
And even in the rebellion at the end,
00:49:47.491 --> 00:49:49.693
Is that god is gonna prove
00:49:49.693 --> 00:49:51.194
How evil the human heart is without god,
00:49:51.194 --> 00:49:54.598
And it's not all about satan.
00:49:54.598 --> 00:49:56.099
Satan's a part of it.
00:49:56.099 --> 00:49:57.434
He takes what he gets
00:49:57.434 --> 00:49:58.769
And weaves it into something terrible,
00:49:58.769 --> 00:50:00.804
But we--there's this old poem that i read
00:50:00.804 --> 00:50:03.573
Every time i get a chance at reciting it.
00:50:03.573 --> 00:50:05.509
It goes like this, "two natures beat within my breast,
00:50:05.509 --> 00:50:09.980
The one is foul, the one is blessed,
00:50:09.980 --> 00:50:12.616
The one i love, the one i hate.
00:50:12.616 --> 00:50:15.185
And the one i feed will dominate."
00:50:15.185 --> 00:50:17.421
So when we live as christians in this life,
00:50:17.421 --> 00:50:21.124
We should concentrate on feeding the new nature.
00:50:21.124 --> 00:50:23.927
If we happen to be alive and go into the millennium,
00:50:23.927 --> 00:50:28.832
We won't ever have the devil to blame
00:50:28.832 --> 00:50:30.700
For whatever we do if it's wrong.
00:50:30.700 --> 00:50:32.436
It'll be all us.
00:50:32.436 --> 00:50:34.271
Sheila: one of the things i've struggled to understand
00:50:34.271 --> 00:50:36.706
Is at the end of that thousand year period,
00:50:36.706 --> 00:50:39.042
Satan will be released from the pit.
00:50:39.042 --> 00:50:41.545
Why would he be given another opportunity?
00:50:41.545 --> 00:50:44.181
Dr. jeremiah: you know, god goes to great lengths
00:50:44.181 --> 00:50:46.850
To prove his point to us, you know,
00:50:46.850 --> 00:50:49.986
That we are helpless without him,
00:50:49.986 --> 00:50:53.390
That we are hopeless without him,
00:50:53.390 --> 00:50:54.891
That we're sinful without him.
00:50:54.891 --> 00:50:57.127
And we may think, okay, we lived through this great millennium,
00:50:57.127 --> 00:51:00.297
Here's satan out for a little bit.
00:51:00.297 --> 00:51:02.499
He will prove again his power
00:51:02.499 --> 00:51:04.601
And many will fall prey at the end.
00:51:04.601 --> 00:51:07.270
These unbelievers will fall prey to it
00:51:07.270 --> 00:51:08.939
And there will be this rebellion on earth,
00:51:08.939 --> 00:51:11.575
And it will be just one more point
00:51:11.575 --> 00:51:13.443
That god is making.
00:51:13.443 --> 00:51:14.845
You need to be regenerated, you need to have a new heart,
00:51:14.845 --> 00:51:18.048
You need to be born again, you need to be a new creature.
00:51:18.048 --> 00:51:21.251
If you're not going to be that, you're going to be a victim.
00:51:21.251 --> 00:51:25.288
Sheila: you have spent your entire life
00:51:25.288 --> 00:51:27.624
Pouring into us.
00:51:27.624 --> 00:51:28.959
You've spent your entire life encouraging us,
00:51:28.959 --> 00:51:30.994
Studying the word of god, writing great books.
00:51:30.994 --> 00:51:33.797
When you finished writing this book,
00:51:33.797 --> 00:51:35.665
What was there, particularly, that encouraged you,
00:51:35.665 --> 00:51:38.201
Dr. david jeremiah?
00:51:38.201 --> 00:51:40.103
Dr. jeremiah: i just was so--you know,
00:51:40.103 --> 00:51:41.671
God's plan is so much better than anything anybody's got,
00:51:41.671 --> 00:51:45.308
Any politician's got, any pastor's got.
00:51:45.308 --> 00:51:48.111
God's plan is so rich and pure and good,
00:51:48.111 --> 00:51:51.081
And i want to be a part of that plan in every way
00:51:51.081 --> 00:51:54.317
As i go toward that goal in my life now.
00:51:54.317 --> 00:51:57.654
I want to be the kind of man that god can bless
00:51:57.654 --> 00:51:59.623
Because i'm living a life that's honoring to him.
00:51:59.623 --> 00:52:02.526
I want to live righteous and godly.
00:52:02.526 --> 00:52:05.662
When i go into the millennium,
00:52:05.662 --> 00:52:06.997
I don't want to have to take two years to adjust
00:52:06.997 --> 00:52:09.099
To the righteousness of the millennium.
00:52:09.099 --> 00:52:11.434
I want to be able to walk in there
00:52:11.434 --> 00:52:13.303
And, obviously, i'll have some adjustments
00:52:13.303 --> 00:52:15.805
Like everybody else.
00:52:15.805 --> 00:52:17.507
But, you know, sometimes we get saved,
00:52:17.507 --> 00:52:19.776
And we generally get saved,
00:52:19.776 --> 00:52:21.111
And then we live our christian life
00:52:21.111 --> 00:52:22.445
On such a low plane
00:52:22.445 --> 00:52:23.914
That it's almost hard to determine
00:52:23.914 --> 00:52:25.849
Whether we're christians or not.
00:52:25.849 --> 00:52:27.584
I want to be a god-honoring christian
00:52:27.584 --> 00:52:30.353
That lives his life in such a way
00:52:30.353 --> 00:52:32.656
That all the way through to the end
00:52:32.656 --> 00:52:33.990
I bring glory to his name.
00:52:33.990 --> 00:52:35.458
Sheila: amen, amen.
00:52:35.458 --> 00:52:39.462
I'm thinking of anyone
00:52:39.462 --> 00:52:40.797
Who might just have suddenly tuned into this program
00:52:40.797 --> 00:52:44.701
And they don't really know everything we're talking about
00:52:44.701 --> 00:52:47.604
And they don't really know jesus.
00:52:47.604 --> 00:52:49.239
Is there hope for them?
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:51.908
Dr. jeremiah: you know, if you watch this program
00:52:51.908 --> 00:52:53.810
And you don't know jesus christ,
00:52:53.810 --> 00:52:55.812
You're just missing out on everything that's good
00:52:55.812 --> 00:52:58.882
That god wants you to know.
00:52:58.882 --> 00:53:00.650
He doesn't mean for you to live your life in discouragement
00:53:00.650 --> 00:53:04.721
And depression and wondering what's going to happen tomorrow.
00:53:04.721 --> 00:53:08.625
He wants to know you.
00:53:08.625 --> 00:53:10.927
He loves you.
00:53:10.927 --> 00:53:12.462
He wants to be with you and he wants you to be with him.
00:53:12.462 --> 00:53:15.365
But you have to get to the place
00:53:15.365 --> 00:53:17.434
Where you're willing to deal with the sin barrier.
00:53:17.434 --> 00:53:20.203
The bible says, "all have sinned and come short
00:53:20.203 --> 00:53:22.739
Of the glory of god,"
00:53:22.739 --> 00:53:24.074
And that "the wages of sin are death."
00:53:24.074 --> 00:53:25.842
So if you don't deal with that, you can't know god.
00:53:25.842 --> 00:53:28.445
Jesus himself said, "i am the way,
00:53:28.445 --> 00:53:30.814
The truth, and the life.
00:53:30.814 --> 00:53:32.148
And no one comes to the father except through me."
00:53:32.148 --> 00:53:34.918
If you don't come to jesus, you can't know god.
00:53:34.918 --> 00:53:37.887
You may say, "well, i pray to god."
00:53:37.887 --> 00:53:39.356
Well, you're praying to whoever,
00:53:39.356 --> 00:53:40.957
But you can't know god apart from jesus christ.
00:53:40.957 --> 00:53:44.160
So what you need to do, if you've never done it before,
00:53:44.160 --> 00:53:47.731
Is to pray, tell jesus that you're sorry for your sin
00:53:47.731 --> 00:53:51.968
And ask him to come and cleanse your heart
00:53:51.968 --> 00:53:55.171
And give you the gift of eternal life,
00:53:55.171 --> 00:53:57.274
Which he promises to anyone who will ask for it.
00:53:57.274 --> 00:54:00.110
And if you pray that prayer and you ask him to do that,
00:54:00.110 --> 00:54:03.046
He will come and he will set up his throne in your heart
00:54:03.046 --> 00:54:06.950
And he will become king jesus in your life.
00:54:06.950 --> 00:54:09.786
Sheila: amen, and dr. jeremiah, what can we say
00:54:09.786 --> 00:54:12.756
But thank you for being
00:54:12.756 --> 00:54:14.124
Such a good and faithful servant.
00:54:14.124 --> 00:54:16.960

Dr. jeremiah: if you want to know more
00:55:06.943 --> 00:55:08.278
About the coming golden age,
00:55:08.278 --> 00:55:10.046
Or how you can know jesus christ as your lord and savior,
00:55:10.046 --> 00:55:13.883
I'd like to send you two free resources.
00:55:13.883 --> 00:55:16.886
"your greatest turning point,"
00:55:16.886 --> 00:55:18.521
And our monthly devotional magazine,
00:55:18.521 --> 00:55:20.590
"turning points."
00:55:20.590 --> 00:55:22.025
Both are free upon request.
00:55:22.025 --> 00:55:24.561
Melanie: if you had seen me back when i was homeless.
00:55:27.764 --> 00:55:30.333
You're probably say there's no hope for her.
00:55:30.333 --> 00:55:33.269
She's too far gone.
00:55:33.269 --> 00:55:34.604
Abuse and addiction led me to the streets.
00:55:34.604 --> 00:55:37.107
And for 10 years i wandered from place to place alone.
00:55:37.107 --> 00:55:41.144
I trusted no one and feared everyone.
00:55:41.144 --> 00:55:43.546
I felt broken and forgotten
00:55:43.546 --> 00:55:45.448
Like i wasn't worth being remembered.
00:55:45.448 --> 00:55:47.817
Everyone i met on the streets was suffering and hopeless.
00:55:47.817 --> 00:55:51.321
Just like me.
00:55:51.321 --> 00:55:53.123
But the whole time i thought i was abandoned,
00:55:53.123 --> 00:55:55.692
God's eyes were on me.
00:55:55.692 --> 00:55:57.527
He pulled me out of my despair.
00:55:57.527 --> 00:56:00.096
I yearn for a world where every person is seen and valued.
00:56:00.096 --> 00:56:03.900
Where no one lives in fear or feels abandoned.
00:56:03.900 --> 00:56:07.070
Because everyone is worthy of love
00:56:07.070 --> 00:56:09.439
And no one is ever too far gone.
00:56:09.439 --> 00:56:11.808
I'm melanie and i can imagine a world
00:56:11.808 --> 00:56:13.910
Where everyone has a home.
