Is there Death in the Millennium?

This is also from a discussion I had with several believers on a discussion board on Facebook.

I believe that the scriptures are not at all being unclear right there. There may or may not be a quote for it, but there is very, very clear scripture that says there is a sinner and that there is death in the millennium. And Brother Branham told us that this Scripture applies to the millennium. This may sound like a foolish idea, but based on Isaiah 65 we understand that the “sinner dying at 100 years old shall be accursed.” Sin and death are there.


THE_SIXFOLD_PURPOSE_OF_THE_VISITATION_OF_GABRIEL JEFF_IN 07-30-61 Evening
Now, anyone, any reader that knows that from Ezekiel the 40th chapter until about the 44th chapter is nothing in the world but the millennium Temple being erected on earth (anyone knows that. See?), when the glory of the Lord fills it and so forth like that. 

Read a few of these scriptures in Ezekiel 40 to 44. 

Eze 44:22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before. 

Eze 44:25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 

Eze 44:27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. 

These things take place during the millennium we can see that there is:

1. death (ie-dead person, widows)
2. sin (ie-divorce “her that is put away”, sin offerings)
3. sacrifice (ie-priests, “sin offering”)
4. marriage (widows, “not take for their wives”)

The word there in Isaiah 65:20 for die in Hebrew is “muth” and it means death, dead, destroy, kill or slay. 

Another point to be made about the millennium is that according to Isaiah 65:20 there will be children there. 

Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and A LITTLE CHILD shall lead them. 
Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 
Isa 11:8 And the SUCKLING CHILD shall play on the hole of the asp, and the WEANED CHILD shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 

There will be nursing and weaning and thus birth during the millennium. Clearly the children of the resurrection will not marry nor be given in marriage, but shall be like the angels of heaven. But those who are carried over in the ark so to speak from the time of Jacob’s trouble into the kingdom age will be able to do so. The saints will rule over the nations in that time. 

It also states that there are people that survive the day of the Lord and will come up to Jerusalem to worship at the temple of the Lord. 

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. 
Zec 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses. 
Zec 14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 
Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 
Zec 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 
Zec 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 
Zec 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. 
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that EVERY ONE THAT IS LEFT of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Isaiah 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundredyears old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.” A brother wrote in regards to this verse, “Maybe it is because they are in hell…” The context of this verse is not at all speaking of hell. Why would they speak of age in regards to someone in hell? The context of the verse is the millennium not hell. 

No one is raised from the dead to live in the millennium because it is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment. Unless they are believers they will not be raised from the dead for a “second chance” to accept God.  These are people that survive armageddon and the catastrophic judgment God brings upon mankind. 

Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that EVERY ONE THAT IS LEFT of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

This scripture is speaking of Armageddon when all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against Jerusalem and the Jewish nation. Then it goes directly into the millennial reign of Christ. People are left or in other words they survive armageddon and they repopulate the earth as Noah and his family that was carried over in the ark. 

Take a look at this scripture speaking of the judgment before the millennium. It first says the Lord will make the earth empty and lay it waste and finishes with the statement there will be FEW men left. As in he destroys almost all people, but there are some people that survive. 

Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and FEW MEN LEFT.

Based upon what William Branham said and the scriptures that apply to it, we are given a clue as to various things that happen during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ upon the throne of David
