The adjective actually means “through the years.” It’s from Latin, with the preposition “per” suggesting “through” and “annum” meaning “year.”

Revival in the Millennium?

For a thousand years?

My Text, my authority for this thought is found in Isaiah 59:20-21. See if you agree with my assessment, please.

“And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.”

A saved “Zion,” a cleansed “Jacob” (both synonyms or eponyms for Israel) with God’s Spirit upon the people. The redeemed!

By the way, the word string “turn from transgression” uses the key Hebrew word for “repentance!” (“Shub,” which implies a complete turnaround!)

Then the “Spirit” of the Lord, in combination with the “Words” of the Lord … become a cherished possession (as They are with every true Christian)!

The Holy Spirit!

The Word of God!

Promised “for ever!”

That’s bad news for the devil!

We shall enter a period of blissful time in the future (from the Millennium onward) when the Things of God rule supreme, world-wide!

No wayward children!

No more prodigals!

No apostates!

“Thus saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.”

Wow!

No wonder we are taught to pray “Thy Kingdom come!”

Little surprise then that the last prayer of the Bible is … “Even so, come Lord Jesus!”

A bright future becase of a great Saviour!
