Millennial Parallelisms (#7)

See the series here

Early in the first millennium, God pronounced the punishing results of sin. Similar to the expulsion from Heaven of satan and his crew following their sin, mankind was subsequently dismissed from The Garden in the land of Eden, and from direct, face-to-face contact with God. The serpent, Adam and Eve received tailored punishments. The veiled announcement to satan (who had influenced the serpent), that ‘the Seed of the woman’ would destroy his kingdom on Earth, was quite troubling. We know women don't have seed! It's not clear whether satan actually understood that Jesus would become a human seed in a woman's womb without the aid of a man! (See: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem)) Thus, devils schemed to corrupt ALL human seed, first by corrupting people as they were growing up, and then before they were born! (See Genesis 6 to understand the perplexing, dastardly scheme that unfolded.) Respecting the authority Adam had willingly given to satan, God allowed this scheme to unfold to the point that…

‘God looked upon the Earth,and indeed it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted their way on the Earth.’
(Genesis 6:12)

Similarly, though they will not be present among mankind during the final millennium (the Millennial Reign of Christ, which will be the 5th age of human history), but will be locked away in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years, you can bet devils will likely be scheming, knowing they will be released once again to taunt mortal humans! How do they know this? They read The Book, as you should, too!

While mankind was corrupting themselves during the first millennium, ‘Enoch walked and communed with God for three hundred years...’ (Genesis 5:22) This is evidence that, even during God’s ‘Day of Rest’, the door to communion with Him was still open to any person who would seek Him. 

Similarly, perhaps during the final millennium, mortals (who will have survived the tribulation, along with their offspring) will yet commune with Christ. Indeed, at that time, mortal Jews will reportedly embrace Him as their Messiah. It is unclear whether this might infer 'salvation' as we currently know it. It is clear, however, that Jews who strive the great tribulation will be sporting the 'mark of the beast', and therefore, will not be eligible for salvation, per Revelation 14. Moreover, whether their offspring born during this age will experience salvation is doubtful, at least salvation as we currently know it, yet all things are possible. (See: Salvation in the Millennium (Series))
