ISAIAH 12
Lesson #13
MILLENNIAL WORSHIP

• MEMORY VERSE: ISAIAH 12:2

• THIS CHAPTER IS THE LAST SECTION OF THE PROPHECY THAT INCLUDES CHAPTERS 7-12
• THIS CHAPTER WAS WRITTEN DURING THE REIGN OF THE EVIL KING AHAZ.
• IT IS A SONG OR PSALM WHICH HAS BEEN SUNG AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN ISRAEL’S HISTORY. BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN FULFILLED.
• READ ISA 12:1-6 WORSHIP IN THE MILLENNIUM
• HOW DO WE KNOW THIS CHAPTER OF PROPHECY HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED SOMETIME IN ISRAEL’S HISTORY?
• GOD’S ANGER AND JUDGMENT IS TURNED TO BLESSING AND COMFORT. (1)
• THE NIGHT OF JUDGMENT IS OVER, AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS KINGDOM HAS COME. READ PSA 30:5
• THE OBJECT OF PRAISE: JESUS CHRIST
• NOTICE IT SAYS THAT JESUS IS THEIR SALVATION, AND NOT THAT HE HAS PROVIDED SALVATION. (2) THEREFORE, SALVATION IS PERSONIFIED IN CHRIST.
• READ JOH 14:6
• “THE WAY” IS A PERSON. “THE TRUTH” IS A PERSON. “THE LIFE” IS A PERSON. THEREFORE, “SALVATION” IS A PERSON.
• THE “WELLS OF SALVATION” (3)
• READ JOH 4:13-14
• “WELLS” SPEAK OF ABUNDANCE. NOTICE THE MENTION OF JOY IN VS. 3.
• DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE DON’T HAVE THE JOY OF SALVATION UNTIL WE GET TO THE MILLENNIUM?
• NO. SALVATION SHOULD BRING YOU GREAT JOY NOW.
• IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT JOY, YOU NEED TO BECOME BETTER ACQUAINTED WITH JESUS WHO IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR SALVATION AND THE PERSON OF YOUR SALVATION.
• DESCRIBE THE PRACTICE OF WORSHIP DURING THE MILLENNIUM?
• ALL PEOPLE WILL KNOW AND WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST IN ALL OF THE WORLD.
• CHRIST WILL BE PERSONALLY PRESENT ON EARTH. (6)
• WHAT IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE PRACTICE OF WORSHIP IN THE MILLENNIUM AND THE PRACTICE OF WORSHIP NOW?
• NOW ALL PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE LORD NOR ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, FOR THERE IS A DIVERSITY OF RELIGIONS TRUE AND FALSE.
• IN SOME PLACES IN THE WORLD YOU CANNOT FREELY AND OPENLY SAY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
• NOW JEWS DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR KING AND SAVIOR, BUT IN THE MILLENNIUM, THEY WILL.
• DISCUSSION:

HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR WORSHIP HERE ON EARTH TODAY BETTER?

• A REVIEW OF OUR STUDY OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION:
• WHAT IS GOD’S PURPOSE FOR THE MILLENNIUM?
• TO REWARD THE SAINTS OF GOD (PSA 58:11 ISA 40:10 COL 3:24)
• TO ANSWER THE MODEL PRAYER IN LUK 11:1-4.
• “THY KINGDOM COME ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN…”
• TO REDEEM CREATION
• READ ROM 8:19-22
• TO FULFILL FOUR OLD TESTAMENT COVENANTS:
• A. THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
• B. THE DAVIDIC COVENANT
• C. THE PALESTINIAN COVENANT
• D. THE NEW COVENANT (JER 31:31-34 ISA 42:6 HEB 8:7-12)
• KEY ELEMENTS OF WORSHIP DURING THE MILLENNIUM:
• 1. A NEW TEMPLE BUILT BY CHRIST. (EZE 40-48)
• THE PURPOSE OF THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE:
• …TO DEMONSTRATE GOD’S HOLINESS AND A UNIFIED WORSHIP
• …TO PROVIDE A DWELLING PLACE FOR THE DIVINE GLORY
• …TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE
• …TO PROVIDE THE CENTER FOR THE DIVINE GOVERNMENT
• …TO PROVIDE VICTORY OVER THE CURSE THROUGH THE HEALING RIVER THAT COMES FROM UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE TEMPLE.
• 2. A PRIESTLY ORDER AND RITUAL
• SOME OF THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MOSAIC PRIESTHOOD WILL BE RESTORED.
• SOME OF THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS OF JUDAISTIC WORSHIP WILL BE RESTORED.
• FOR EXAMPLE, ANIMAL SACRIFICE:
• A MEMORIAL OF THE LAMB OF GOD SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. (EZE 43:18-46 ZEC 14:16 ISA 56:6-8 ISA 66:21 JER 33:15-18 EZE 20:40-41)
• WHY ANIMAL SACRIFICE? (ISA 45:17,20 ISA 43:20,26)
• =1= A REMINDER TO KINGDOM KIDS OF THE NECESSITY OF NEW BIRTH.
• =2= AN OBJECT LESSON OF THE COSTLINESS OF SALVATION.
• =3= AN EXAMPLE OF THE AWFULNESS OF SIN.
• =4= AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD
• =5= AS CLEANSING TO PREVENT DEFILEMENT OF THE TEMPLE BECAUSE SINFUL PEOPLE ARE STILL PRESENT IN THE MILLENNIUM.
