JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL—MILLENNIUM

THE CONTINUING JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL
DURING THE MILLENNIUM

For one thousand years, Israel shall be judged.
Jesus shall be the King of kings and Lord of lords-ref Rev 17:14; 19:16. The government shall be upon His shoulder. He shall judge in mercy and in righteousness. He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes or reprove after the hearing of His ears. He shall break the oppressor.
David shall be the king of Israel-ref Ezek 34:23,24. The twelve apostles shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Some of the Jewish resurrected saints may be rulers over tens, or fifties, or hundreds, or thousands, or even cities.

1-INTRODUCTION


(Scripture)

IN THOSE DAYS, AND AT THAT TIME, WILL I CAUSE THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO GROW UP UNTO DAVID-Jere 33:15.
AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER: AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE. OF THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE SHALL BE NO END, UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND UPON HIS KINGDOM, TO ORDER IT, AND TO ESTABLISH IT WITH JUDGMENT AND WITH JUSTICE FROM HENCEFORTH EVEN FOR EVER. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS-Isa 9:6,7.
FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD; DAVID SHALL NEVER WANT A MAN TO SIT UPON THE THRONE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL-Jere 33:17.
THUS SAITH THE LORD; IF YE CAN BREAK MY COVENANT OF THE DAY, AND MY COVENANT OF THE NIGHT, AND THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE DAY AND NIGHT IN THEIR SEASON; THEN MAY ALSO MY COVENANT BE BROKEN WITH DAVID MY SERVANT, THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE A SON TO REIGN UPON HIS THRONE; AND WITH THE LEVITES THE PRIESTS, MY MINISTERS-Jere 33:20,21.
BEHOLD, A KING SHALL REIGN IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PRINCES SHALL RULE IN JUDGMENT-Isa 32:1. For THE LORD...HE HATH PREPARED HIS THRONE FOR JUDGMENT-Ps 9:7.
Jesus WILL SEEK THAT WHICH WAS LOST, AND BRING AGAIN THAT WHICH WAS DRIVEN AWAY, AND WILL BIND UP THAT WHICH WAS BROKEN, AND WILL STRENGTHEN THAT WHICH WAS SICK...I WILL FEED THEM WITH JUDGMENT-Ezek 34:16.
AS THE HOST OF HEAVEN CANNOT BE NUMBERED, NEITHER THE SAND OF THE SEA MEASURED: SO WILL I MULTIPLY THE SEED OF DAVID MY SERVANT, AND THE LEVITES THAT MINISTER UNTO ME-Jere 33:22.

THE LORD SHALL JUDGE THE PEOPLE-Ps 7:8. FOR THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE-Ps 135:14. HE SHALL JUDGE THE POOR OF THE PEOPLE-Ps 72:4.

3-WHERE SHALL JESUS JUDGE?


AND HE SHALL SIT UPON IT IN TRUTH IN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, JUDGING, AND SEEKING JUDGMENT, AND HASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS-Isa 16:5.

4-HOW SHALL HE JUDGE?


AND IN MERCY SHALL THE THRONE BE ESTABLISHED-Isa 16:5.
AND HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, HE SHALL MINISTER JUDGMENT TO THE PEOPLE IN UPRIGHTNESS-Ps 9:8.
HE SHALL JUDGE THY PEOPLE WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THY POOR WITH JUDGMENT-Ps 72:2.
AND SHALL MAKE HIM OF QUICK UNDERSTANDING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD: AND HE SHALL NOT JUDGE AFTER THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NEITHER REPROVE AFTER THE HEARING OF HIS EARS-Isa 11:3.
For there shall be A SPIRIT OF JUDGMENT TO HIM THAT SITTETH IN JUDGMENT-Isa 28:6.
FOR (He) WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR INIQUITIES WILL (He) REMEMBER NO MORE-Heb 8:12.

5-WHAT SHALL HE DO?

AND HE WILL REPENT HIMSELF CONCERNING HIS SERVANTS-Ps 135:14.
He will JUDGE BETWEEN CATTLE AND CATTLE, BETWEEN THE RAMS AND THE HE GOATS-Ezek 34:17.

6-WHO ELSE SHALL JUDGE?

SOME WILL RULE OR JUDGE TENS, FIFTIES, HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, CITIES, AND NATIONS

BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE THAT HATH PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION...THEY SHALL BE PRIESTS OF GOD AND OF CHRIST, AND SHALL REIGN WITH HIM A THOUSAND YEARS-Rev 20:6. And the saints shall be KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO GOD AND HIS FATHER-Rev 1:6. What will the saints be doing? The following could be the answer.
AND I WILL RESTORE THY JUDGES AS AT THE FIRST, AND THY COUNSELORS AS AT THE BEGINNING: AFTERWARD THOU SHALT BE CALLED, THE CITY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE FAITHFUL CITY-Isa 1:26. Some shall BE RULERS OF THOUSANDS, AND RULERS OF HUNDREDS, RULERS OF FIFTIES, AND RULERS OF TENS-Ex 18:21. Some shall HAVE...AUTHORITY OVER TEN CITIES...or OVER FIVE CITIES-Lk 19:17,19.
The twelve apostles will be able to EAT AND DRINK AT MY TABLE IN MY KINGDOM, AND SIT ON THRONES JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL-Lk 22:30.
THEN ANSWERED PETER AND SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WE HAVE FORSAKEN (or left) ALL (or everything), AND FOLLOWED THEE; WHAT SHALL WE HAVE THEREFORE? AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM (the apostles), VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED ME, IN THE REGENERATION WHEN THE SON OF MAN SHALL SIT IN THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY, YE ALSO SHALL SIT UPON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL-Mt 19:27,28.
The term "throne of glory" is also used regarding the saints. It is written, TO MAKE THEM INHERIT THE THRONE OF GLORY-1 Sam 2:8. It is also a term used for the heavenly throne. When Jeremiah was interceding for the people, he prayed, DO NOT ABHOR US, FOR THY NAME'S SAKE, DO NOT DISGRACE THE THRONE OF THY GLORY-Jere 14:21.
