I regularly receive emails from people complaining about the situation on this planet and remarking that it is a blessing that "Jesus is coming soon" or words to that effect .
This points to a huge error that is almost universal amongst believers and which has its roots in a fundamental doctrinal and translation error that is one of the many errors that have been prevalent in the body of believers from at least around 600 AD
The true situation is as follows:
1. Revelation 20:4 refers to "reign with Christ for a thousand years"
2. People believe that "Christ" equates with Yahooshua and therefore Yahooshua {Jesus} will return to sort out the mess
3. This is incorrect, the word "Christ" relates to the anointing of the set-apart {holy} Spirit of the Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self existing, on men
4. So this verse says that anointed ones will reign with the anointing of the Spirit of Yah for a thousand years
5. This will happen from the time that Satan is cast into the Pit for a thousand years -- this happened in May 2003
6. Prophets and Apostles of Yah have been anointing people as kings since early in this century
7. Yahooshua {Jesus} is SEATED at the Right Hand of the Father WAITING for his enemies to be MADE his footstool
8. The anointed ones must make Yahooshua's enemies his footstool by defeating evil and falsehood on the earth
9. Failing this Yahooshua will NEVER return, Satan will be released from the Pit and will reign on earth for eternity
10. Yahooshua will return ONLY to catch up the people of the earth to stand before the Judgment Seat
11. We have slightly under one thousand years to develop a deep personal relationship with the Creator, be filled with His Spirit, learn truth, teach truth and apply truth -- which is what reigning on earth is all about
May Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, the Almighty Creator, bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.
