Still trying to get over the shock that in the Millennium period the slaughter of animals will continue. :wacko: I thought it was only for the 7 year tribulation and in the Millennium the people would be doing grain offerings. My question is any of you concerned that perhaps our job duties might consist of killing animals? I don’t know about you but I have a hard enough time just cutting up chicken meat in a package from the grocery store, let alone trying to stab to death a live animal. I wonder if we can give that part of the job assignment to our Guardian Angel or will there be A.I robots? Doesn’t it make you want to strive all the more for crowns so we can be kings and rule and reign and perhaps avoid the duties of slaughtering that might be attached to the priesthood role? :feedback There will be sacrifice in millennium. A temple is required for such purpose. Through the prophet Zechariah, God has foretold His Son Jesus shall build this millennial temple. Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: 13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Jesus is The BRANCH. He shall come out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD GOD. And he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. This event shall be fulfilled after Jesus returns to earth. It is important to understand the lengths to which enemies of the pre-tribulation rapture and the literal interpretation of the Word will go to in order to spread their teachings. Do Raymond: And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:10 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. Luke 19:17 It's too bad you won't accept what is plainly written in scripture and find it to be "worldly, which focuses on materialism, a bloodlust for rank & positions, a craving for admiration as ‘teachers & kings’, etc." It is not a craving for admiration; it is a recognition that God has a future place for those who are faithful in this life to be teachers and leaders. Someone will have to do it. By the way, John Darby didn't even accept the vision of Margaret MacDonald as legitimate. Nor did her "vision" even teach a pre-tribulation rapture. Stop parroting old lies put forth by uninformed people and do some research on your own. https://therapturegeneration.wordpress.com/2018/08/09/margaret-macdonald-was-not-darbys-source/ http://www.thefullwiki.org/Margaret_McDonald_(visionary)#cite_note-4 Food for thought :mdrmdr: .... at the end of the 70 year captivity, Ezra started the ritual of sacrifice back in Jerusalem. On Dec 10, 2018, at the end of 70 years and Israel now has a capital in Jerusalem, they initiated the sacrificial rite again. Ezra then proceeded to rebuild the second temple; the temple institute has everything ready for the third temple - too bad it will be destroyed too. But the final a fourth temple - Christ will set up for the millennium :yahoo: :feedback
