1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,559
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much, because yesterday's

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:10,480
food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:15,039
some of us expect yesterday's portion of
heavenly manna, the word of God to

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,879
keep us through today's challenges. On
this program, we are going to change

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,039
all of that. Let's experience God's
words today and receive the power we need

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,839
to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,200
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,320
morning. It is Tuesday, June
twenty five, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,079
my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,520
is your Daily Portion where we give
you God's Word every single day, and

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,240
today is no exception. We are
continuing in our Lesson study series for the

12
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:57,640
final week the Great Controversy, and
our caption for today is the Millennium on

13
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:03,359
Earth. The Millennium on Earth.
We'll get into that in just a moment,

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,359
but first I like to say welcome
to everyone joining us, especially those

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,239
joining us for the very first time. We are asking you to go over

16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,359
to your Daily Portion dot com join
our online community. We are seven hundred

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,480
strong there. Thank you, and
I would like for you to let us

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,799
know where you are in the world. Pick up the your Daily Portion book,

19
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,640
and this is one of the ways
that we continue to build faith and

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,959
fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,519
Father in Heaven, thank you for
giving us this new day and giving us

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:44,840
the opportunity to do to connect with
you and to read in your word so

23
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:49,319
that we can know how to share
with others. Father, I'm asking you

24
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,599
to give us hope, hope for
the future. Father in Jesus's name,

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,239
I pray, Amen and a man
again the millennium on Earth. I want

26
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,799
you to be focused here because as
I was preparing, I wasn't thinking about

27
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000
exactly what it says. It says
millennium on Earth. My mind took me

28
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,840
to Heaven. Okay, And so
what we're going to do is go ahead

29
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:17,080
and begin with a question. No, actually it's a statement. Let me

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,719
say it this way. It is
time for a refresh. Can I say

31
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:28,840
that again? It is time for
a refresh? And why do I say

32
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,759
that? Well, in the beginning, the Bible says before Jesus said,

33
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:38,840
let there be light, and there
was light the Bible says that the Earth

34
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:46,120
was without form, it was formless, it was void. And so yeah,

35
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,560
after all of these years and all
of the challenges that we have had

36
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,639
down here on planet Earth and all
of the sin and its impact, God

37
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:58,599
is going to have to do a
refresh. Now, maybe that's not the

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,560
right terminology. He's going to recreate
the Earth. Yes, and so you'll

39
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,639
see what I mean in just a
moment. Let's go ahead and begin in

40
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,400
the Book of Jeremiah Jeremiah chapter four, beginning at verse twenty three, and

41
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,039
prophetically, the Bible says that Jeremiah
beheld the Earth and lo, it was

42
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:22,840
without form. Wait a minute,
I think we've seen this before, and

43
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:29,280
void, and the heavens and they
had no light, you see. And

44
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,479
so we believe that this is the
same period of one thousand years on planet

45
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,360
Earth. We'll read about that in
just a moment, but that is what

46
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:44,039
we believe is going on here.
Verse twenty four. I beheld in the

47
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,120
mountains. I beheld the mountains,
and lo, they trembled, and all

48
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:53,280
the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and low there was no man.

49
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:59,560
Okay, so we're going back.
We're going back like God created the heavens

50
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,599
and the earth there was light.
He said, let there be light,

51
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:04,240
and then eventually he created the heavenly
bodies, and then he populated the earth

52
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,280
with animals, vegetation, and humans. And now it's saying that there is

53
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,280
no light, there is no man, and all the birds and the heavens

54
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,879
were fled. So we know that
this is not talking about the creation story,

55
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,839
because now it's saying that everything that
God created has gone away in terms

56
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,439
of you know, like everything I
just described verse twenty six, I beheld

57
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,079
in low. The fruitful place was
an now ada word now a wilderness,

58
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,000
and all the cities thereof were broken
down at the presence of the Lord and

59
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:41,800
by his fierce anger. And so
it's a context that we need to have

60
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,839
because by this time Jesus will have
come, and those who are were alive

61
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:53,199
when Jesus came, that where his
children were taken to heaven along with those

62
00:04:53,480 --> 00:05:00,199
who had died in faith of God, they were resurrected. And now those

63
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,240
two sets of people are taken to
heaven and during a thousand year period,

64
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,959
which we're not talking about at this
moment. We're not going to talk about

65
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:13,839
the heavenly part they are in heaven, and the Bible says that something happens

66
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,600
on planet Earth. Besides, all
of the birds of the heavens had fled.

67
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,879
Besides that there was no man,
because the wicked dead remained dead,

68
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,639
and the holy dead were resurrected and
taken to heaven. The hills trembled and

69
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,199
moved lightly. And yeah, there's
no light. It's formless, it's void,

70
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:40,600
and it's like, well, what's
happening? Verse one of Revelation,

71
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:45,720
chapter twenty. The Bible reads,
and I saw an angel come down from

72
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,480
heaven, having the key of the
bottomless Pit, or some call the abyss,

73
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:55,040
and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold upon the

74
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,519
dragon and that old serpent, which
is the devil and Satan, and bound

75
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,639
him for how long? One thousand
years, and cast him into the bottomless

76
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:09,519
pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, and

77
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,759
that he should deceive the nations no
more. How is it that he will

78
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,040
not deceive the nations anymore? Why
is it that he is locked up?

79
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:20,759
If you want to say, he's
locked up by a chain of circumstance,

80
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:27,120
because remember the mountains. That's weird. Something changed all of the creatures,

81
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,680
they're gone, the light is gone. Holy people are in heaven. Unholy

82
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,759
people are in the grave still for
this thousand years period, and it's like,

83
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,399
well, what's happening now? Well, the devil has nothing to do

84
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,800
except think. He can't create a
blade of grass. He cannot tempt anybody

85
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:48,920
because there's nobody to tempt. You
understand where we're going with this, And

86
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,879
so the Bible says till the thousand
years, we're fulfilled, and after that

87
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:59,439
he must be loosed for a season. We won't get into that part yet

88
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,680
yet. And so I want to
take your mind back. We had done

89
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:09,439
a study on the sanctuary very recently, in an entire quarter on the sanctuary,

90
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:15,040
and listen, have some we have
like some insight into what's happening here

91
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,680
from the sanctuary. On the book
of Leviticus, chapter sixteen, we see

92
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,279
that after the atonement had taken place, or God did what he needed to

93
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,800
do to make us at one with
him. That is, we're forgiven.

94
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,399
If we are as children, we've
chosen to confess our sins and to turn

95
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:40,680
away from them through the power of
God. Yes, and in that reality,

96
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,240
now we are cleansed. We are
forgiven. All of our sins are

97
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,319
forgotten and will not be brought up
again. And so that is done because

98
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:54,040
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the

99
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:58,720
world, has done his work.
Even in the sanctuary, was pointing forward

100
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,399
to that right on the on the
day of Atonement, this is what is

101
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,879
represented. And there were lots cast
and there were two creatures that were identify,

102
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:15,519
the Lord's goat and the scapegoat.
The Lord's goat would have represented holiness,

103
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,480
represented God's side of the equation.
And with the Lord's goat, we

104
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:26,279
know now that that has to do
with our salvation. Now the scapegoat.

105
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:31,240
The scapegoat now is the devil.
Two goats, y'all. Don't get caught

106
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,720
up with the term goat, because
the Bible says there's the Lord's goat and

107
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:39,759
there's the scapegoat. Well, the
scapegoat. Now, after God's people would

108
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,240
have been atoned for, after God's
people would have been cleansed, and so

109
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,200
forth. Now the representation of the
sins have to be taken out of the

110
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,200
camp. And the Bible says that
a fit man. Wait a minute,

111
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,919
I think I read something about an
angel here in Revelation twenty, a fit

112
00:08:54,039 --> 00:09:00,600
man lays hold of the scapegoat and
takes the scapegoat into a wilderness. Wait

113
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,960
a minute, I think I just
read something in the Book of Jeremiah about

114
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:13,519
a wilderness like scene, and that
fit man takes the scapegoat into the wilderness

115
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,919
with the representation of the sins of
people who confessed our sins, and God

116
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,720
was faithful and just to forgive us
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

117
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,840
Those sins with the scapegoat are taken
out into the wilderness. And now we

118
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:35,240
know that this scapegoat represents the devil, and we'll read soon what happens to

119
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,679
the devil. But the fact is
that God knows how to do things,

120
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,840
make all things new like he promised, and we're looking forward to that day.

121
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,519
Peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot

122
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,360
live by bread alone, but by
every word that comes from the mouth of

123
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,360
God. This has been your daily
portion with El David Harris. Make it

124
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,279
a great day. Yeah,
