“All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.”
Isaiah 60:3 NLT
Again I am drawn to the millennial appeal of this text. When Jesus comes to rule on the earth for 1000 years Satan will be locked up. Imagine a world where there is no tempter. It will be a very interesting time. People will still have a sin nature and need to receive Jesus as the saviour, I wonder how much easier it will be? Will some still want to walk in their carnal flesh and turn away from Jesus ? I imagine so otherwise why would the same scripture in Revelation say that when Satan is let loose he is able to go and stir up hatred for Jesus and amass to fight with Him at Armageddon? It bears reflection!
If Adam and Eve who were pure and sinless could be tempted how much easier will be sinful mankind? I also wonder what living under Jesus’ rule will be like. Scripture says that the rulers of the earth will come regularly to meet with Him, so, obviously the countries of the world still have their governments and legal systems , much as they do now. I wonder what the G20 summit will look like then?
As you can see I like to think on such things! How about you?
