The prophecies & the blissful MILLENNIUM

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:5

"The prophecies show that 

--the King should pass through the grave to His throne, 

--and that His kingdom also must itself rise from the ashes of this world, 

--and that His citizens also must arise from the dust, 

--to reach the inheritance of the exalted Son of God in His heavenly kingdom. 

--Under the ancient dispensation, every sacrifice on holy altars slain

pointed to His death, and, 

--under the present dispensation, every communion of His holy supper commemorates it, until He comes in the dispensation of the fullness of times, to receive the inheritance of the purchased possession, and to give it to the chosen seed, the saints in light, and to bruise Satan under their feet. 

Then is the blissful MILLENNIUM."
