1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:05,919
Most of us eat every day,
some of us too much because yesterday's food

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,720
is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,400
of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly
manna, the word of God to keep

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,120
us through today's challenges. On this
program, we are going to change all

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,160
of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,839
live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome
to your Daily Portion with your host,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,439
author speaker, Elle David Harris.
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,719
It is Wednesday, June twenty six, twenty twenty four. Hello,

9
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:41,640
my name is Elle David Harris.
I am your host, and this is

10
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,200
your Daily Portion where we give you
God's Word every single day, and today

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,880
is no exception. We are continuing
in the final week of our Lesson study

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,359
series the Great Controversy, and our
caption for today is Judgment in the Millennium.

13
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,119
So yesterday we were talking about the
millennium on planet Earth, and now

14
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:04,599
we're going to talk about the judgment
in the millennium. And I promise you

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,200
it's good news. It's great news. Actually we'll get into that in just

16
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:11,200
a moment, but first i'd like
to say welcome to you and ask you

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,560

21
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:34,120

the Your Daily Portion coaching program that begins

22
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,319
tomorrow. Let's go ahead and pray
and then we will get underway. Bather

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,079
in Heaven, thank you for giving
us the opportunity to open up your word

24
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,920
today. Thank you for your Holy
Spirit who has been so kind to teach

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,439
us what you have commanded. Father, Please help us to be looking forward

26
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,200
to the day where there will be
no more sins, sinner's sickness, disease,

27
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,040
or anything of the sort, but
where love will prevail finally one hundred

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,319
percent of the time everywhere in the
universe. In Jesus name, I pray,

29
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Amen and Amen again. Judgment in
the millennium. Now, let me

30
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,159
just say, yesterday there were two
things that went wrong as far as I

31
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:21,240
am concerned. Number One, I
never said, what does millennium millennium mean?

32
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,800
There are people who like me sometimes
we take for granted that people know

33
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,639
what it is or you are going
to look it up. So millennium millennium

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,960
means one thousand year period of time. Okay, So it's a thousand year,

35
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,960
real, literal year period of time. Okay. That's the first thing.

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,400
And secondly, I broke my own
rule. Sometimes we get caught up

37
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,840
in the facts and figures and don't
get to the spiritual reality of what we're

38
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,400
talking about. And so I gave
you a lot of discussion about what would

39
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,479
happen with the devil and formlessness and
void, and how it relates to the

40
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,599
sanctuary, how it relates to the
Genesis account. But I never said what

41
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,400
the whole purpose of it is.
Can I just say it right here?

42
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,240
I think there is a song Jesus
paid it all all to him. I

43
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,879
yo, Sin has left a crimson
stain, but he washed it white to

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,879
snow. So really the crooks of
the matter of yesterday, with the devil

45
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,759
having nothing to do on planet Earth, is that God kept his promise.

46
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,520
I'm going to focus right there for
a moment. God kept his promise.

47
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,400
He said, the accuser of the
brethren is cast down. Who does accuse

48
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,319
those people? Both day and night. He's cast down, and we see

49
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,599
the full material reality of that in
the discussion of what happens during the thousand

50
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:44,560
years on planet Earth. The devil
cannot tempt anybody because there ain't nobody to

51
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,840
tempt. The wicked people who have
sided with him are in the grave.

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,159
He's by himself. The holy people
who decided, mmm, I'm gonna follow

53
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Jesus. Those people are now in
heaven, and we'll talk about that here.

54
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,120
But the fact is that Jesus kept
his promise. The devil is cast

55
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:08,599
down, and guess what. We
get to live throughout the ceaseless ages of

56
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:15,319
eternity and don't have to worry about
anything going wrong ever again. No more

57
00:04:15,399 --> 00:04:21,680
sin, no more sickness, nothing
to disrupt the beauty of love and peace.

58
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,759
And so we now go into Revelation
chapter twenty, continuing the discussion beyond

59
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,399
Earth. Now we go to Heaven. We go to that real place called

60
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:38,439
heaven, And beginning at verse four
of Revelation chapter twenty, we read,

61
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,959
and I saw thrones, and they
sat upon them, and judgment was given

62
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,639
unto them, And I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the

63
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,519
witness of Jesus, and for the
word of God, and which had not

64
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,399
worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received His mark upon their

65
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:03,800
foreheads or in their hands. And
they lived and reigned with Christ. They

66
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,680
did what lived and reigned. Wait
a minute, I think earlier in Revelation,

67
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,079
it says that God would give people
to sit on his throne, even

68
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,800
as he has overcome and is set
with God and his throne, God our

69
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,800
Father, in his throne. He's
promised that humans would be able to do

70
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:30,040
what sit on thrones. And this
is what he's doing. He's fulfilling his

71
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:38,519
promise. And it says that they
did not worship and reigned with Christ for

72
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:43,319
a thousand years verse five. But
the rest of the dead lived not again

73
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:46,720
until the thousand years were finished.
Who are the rest of the dead?

74
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,600
Remember, the Bible says, as
it was in the days of Noah,

75
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,000
so shall it also be when the
coming of the Son of Man is Ah.

76
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,439
They were eating and drinking until the
day that they entered into the ark,

77
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,519
and the flood came and took them
all away. And so the question

78
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:10,040
is when someone is taken. It
says that there will be like two in

79
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:13,920
the field, one shall be taken
and the other shall be left. The

80
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,439
question is who is taken and who
is left? And his disciples, Jesus'

81
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,920
disciples asked that very question when Jesus
was having this conversation that I just jumped

82
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,959
into, and he said, well, where the eagles are gathered, or

83
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,040
the vultures are gathered, or the
birds of prey are gathered, so are

84
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,839
the carcasses. So carcasses are what
dead. So those who are taken are

85
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:46,120
God's people taken? God's people like
on the ark, who was taken into

86
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,160
the ark? God's people who remained? Or who was left? Those who

87
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,759
did not come into the ark?
Who are those people? People who chose

88
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:00,839
to not love God? Those people
are left, and so soh When it

89
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,879
says here the rest of the dead
live not again, those are the people

90
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:11,800
who were left. Those are the
people who did not go to heaven,

91
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:15,759
who were not in the Ark of
safety, who were not in relationship with

92
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:18,920
God at the time that Jesus Christ
came. They will have already made their

93
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:25,000
decisions. Those who were filthy remained
filthy. And those individuals who decided that

94
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,560
they loved self or the devil or
whatever it is in place of God.

95
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:35,879
Those individuals decided on their own and
those individuals at this time during the thousand

96
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:41,879
years are what in the grave.
Okay, And so it says here a

97
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,680
thousand years are finished. The rest
of the dead lived not again until the

98
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,759
thousand years were finished. This is
the first resurrection. So the first resurrection

99
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:53,839
is where God's people go to heaven
along with others who were God's people at

100
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:59,600
other generations. Okay, Okay,
Blessed and holy is he that hath part

101
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040
in the first resurrection. On such
the second death have no power, So

102
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:09,319
that means we're saved, but they
shall be priests of God and of Christ

103
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,839
and shall reign with Him for a
thousand years. May I just say,

104
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,600
very clearly and simply, we only
have just under a couple of minutes left

105
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:24,279
during the thousand year period. Notice
I did not say it takes a thousand

106
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,920
years. I said during the thousand
year period where God's people are in heaven

107
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
and we are on thrones in air
quotes. This means that God is going

108
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:43,159
to open up the books of record
where everything is faithfully chronicled for every human

109
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,759
that ever lived on planet Earth.
In those individuals who chose not to love

110
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:54,600
love. We will see the record
of the many millions of times I just

111
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:01,279
added that number, the many times
that God beg them to come into relationship

112
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,919
with him, where God made opportunities
for them to turn away from sin and

113
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,759
toward love. We will see that
God is just, that God is holy,

114
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:15,919
that God did everything through the power
of the Holy Ghost. He did

115
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,879
everything that he could have done,
short of forcing people, which is not

116
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,200
according to his nature. He did
everything that he could have done to save

117
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,879
our friends, our loved ones,
people we do and do not know,

118
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,559
and they said no to God.
We will see there that just and holy

119
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:39,039
are God's ways, and we know
that during that time all things will be

120
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,600
laid bare until the thousand years are
finished. Have a wonderful day, Peace.

121
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,039
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot live by

122
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,720
bread alone, but by every word
that comes from the mouth of God.

123
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720
This has been your daily portion with
el David Harris. Make it a great

124
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,279
day. Yeah,
