“And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive [retain] until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” (Acts 3:20-21)
Any treatise on the subject of the Millennium would be incomplete without a consideration of our Lord’s Second Advent. All Christians will agree that the Bible teaches Messiah’s Second Advent. Although by no means complete, a list of choice Scriptural references to our Lord’s second stay on earth is presented at the end of this paper. Bro. Dwight L. Moody once said that one verse out of every seven in the New Testament refers to our Lord’s second stay on earth. Even a larger proportion of such passages is found in the Old Testament. And it is because there is so large a proportion of such verses in that section of the Scriptures that the Jews at His first Coming, overlooking the relatively small proportion of prophecies respecting His First Advent, expected Him to come but once, and that to reign. Thus, unprepared to accept the meek and lowly Jesus as fulfilling the promise of the conquering and reigning Messiah of their expectations, they rejected Him; and thus, their “table” (the prophetic Scriptures) became a snare to them as foretold. (Psa. 69:22-23; Rom. 11:9-10)
As shown from Acts 3:19-21 and other Scriptures, our Lord returns at the beginning of the Millennium, at which time He winds up Gospel-Age affairs and inaugurates the work of the Millennium. The time of His second stay on earth will be seen to coincide with the Millennium, during which, among other things, He accomplishes “the restitution of all things,” the main object of His Return (see Studies in the Scriptures, Volume I, Chapter VI). But other objects of His return are important also in relation to the Millennium. According to the Scriptures, we find that our Lord returns for many purposes, of which we will discuss mainly the following seven:
(1) He gathers and delivers the Little Flock: He comes to gather by the Word of Truth and to deliver by His power His prospective Bride, the Little Flock. The Church has been espoused to Him and in holy chastity she has kept herself pure from all worldly affiliations and alliances, witnessing to and longing for His Kingdom, when she is to be married to Him. Her loyalty to Him has cost her much, yea, everything of this world. This loyalty pleases her Lord; and upon returning, He first of all gathers her together through and to the Truth, the “meat in due season.” This feast of Truth is her farewell banquet before her marriage, and greatly has she enjoyed the feast that He Himself provides for her. (2 Cor. 11:2; Matt. 24:28, 31, 45; Luke 12:36-37, 42)
Then, as a part of His Second Advent work, comes her deliverance in the First Resurrection, through which He changes her from humanity to divinity, from weakness to power, from dishonor to glory, from corruption to incorruption, from mortality to immortality. The sleeping part of the Church precedes in the resurrection that part which is living. Afterwards, as one after another of the living saints finishes their course, at the moment of death through sharing in the First Resurrection they join the Lord in the air, and thus will ever be with Him. Arrayed as His glorified Bride and as the City of God (religious government of God), the Church will shine resplendent and all-glorious. (2 Pet. 1:4; 1 Cor. 15:42-54; 1 Thess. 4:15-17; Rev. 21:9; Rev. 22:5; Psa. 45:13)
(2) He cleanses and delivers the Great Company: Through measurable selfishness, worldliness, sin, and error this class has failed to qualify for Bride-ship with Christ. The spots that have accumulated on their garments must be cleansed. Therefore, during the Epiphany period of His Second Advent, He puts them through some very severe experiences in “the Great Tribulation,” through which they learn to recognize the folly of their past course and to cleanse themselves, however with the loss of all the idols of self, the world, sin, and error to which they bowed down. After their cleansing will come their deliverance, amid which they will greatly rejoice in the Lord’s salvation, as they are ushered into the King’s Palace to be bridesmaids of the Bride, the Lamb’s Wife. (Psa. 107:10-16; Jude 23; Mal. 3:2-3; Matt. 25:10- 12; 1 Cor. 3:13-15; Matt. 7:26-27; Cant. 5:6-7; Rev. 7:13-14; Psa. 45:14- 15; Rev. 19:7-9)
(3) He develops the Youthful Worthies: They are thus designated because, as the Ancient Worthies came into activity on the stage of God’s Plan before the opportunity was opened for anyone to enter the High Calling to the Divine nature and joint-heirship with Christ, so the Youthful Worthies come into activity on the stage of God’s plan after that opportunity is closed. According to the Bible, the opportunity of entering the High Calling was to be closed after “the fulness of the Gentiles” (the full number of the Elect from among the Gentiles) should come in. (Rom. 11:25) This synchronizes with the end of the reaping of the present Harvest. But as before the opportunity to enter the High Calling was opened, many desired to and did serve God faithfully, so since the opportunity to enter the High Calling has closed many desire to and do serve God faithfully. Since they show the same spirit of devotion to God as the Ancient Worthies, and that under largely similar conditions, God purposes to associate them with the Ancient Worthies in Millennial and Post-Millennial rewards and service.
We understand that, as in 2 Tim. 2:20 the vessels of gold and silver refer respectively to the Little Flock and the Great Company, so the vessels of wood and of earth refer respectively to the Ancient and the Youthful Worthies. As in Psa. 72:3 Jesus with His Church and the Ancient Worthies, as the two chief ruling powers in God’s Kingdom, are symbolized by the two mountains of Jerusalem, so the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies, as the two subordinate ruling powers of God’s Kingdom, are symbolized by the two little hills of Jerusalem. Moreover, the Lord in the Tabernacle picture has shadowed forth these four classes: the priests to the east of the Tabernacle typing Jesus and the Church; the Kohathite Levites to the south of the Tabernacle typing the Ancient Worthies; the Merarite Levites to the north of the Tabernacle typing the Great Company; and the Gershonite Levites to the west of the Tabernacle typing the Youthful Worthies. (Num. 3:6-8; Num. 1:49-54; Num. 3:23, 29, 35, 40-51; Heb. 12:23) Israel, whose camp surrounded the Tabernacle at a distance, represents the world of mankind, the restitution class.
The Scriptures tell us less of the Youthful Worthies than they do of the other three ruling Kingdom classes, but it is because they have the faith of Abraham that they will be blessed with him with the privilege of blessing all nations. (Gal. 3:6-9) They have the faith quality: they accept the message that preaches repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. Therefore, they are justified by faith. Heeding the Lord’s invitation to consecrate, they give Him their hearts. (Prov. 23:26). With the Ancient Worthies they will then share in a “better resurrection” than that of the world. (Heb. 11: 35) They will be raised perfect human beings, and with the Ancient Worthies will be made princes throughout the earth.
(4) He overthrows Satan’s empire: Satan has an empire over the human family as the prince and god of this world, the prince of the power of the air, and the ruler of its kingdoms. (John 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2; Luke 4:6-7) His kingdom has three departments through which he, though invisible, has held the race in subjection: (1) false religions, (2) oppressive governments, and (3) predatory aristocracies. Evil indeed has been his reign, as all history attests. Surely the Scriptures rightly call him, as Pharaoh’s antitype, “the oppressor.” (Psa. 72:4; Isa. 9:4; Heb. 2:14) But the days of his empire are numbered. The Bible assures us that it will be overthrown through the great Time of Trouble (which began with the two phases of the World War and will progress with possibly a third phase, followed by world revolution and then will culminate in world anarchy), and that it will be accomplished by the Lord in His Second Advent. (Isa. 35:3-4; Rev. 11:15, 18; Rev. 14:4-20; Rev. 19:11-21 ;Rev. 16:18-19; Rev. 18:8-10, 18-21; Rev. 17:4-5, 16, 18; 2 Thess. 2:8-9; Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45; Dan. 7:9-14, 17, 26; Dan. 12:1; Zeph. 3:8-9; Joel 2:1-11; Joel 3:9-14) As a result, instead of oppressing the race any more, Satan will be bound for the thousand years of Christ’s Reign, and be unable then to deceive the nations. (Rev. 20:1-3)
(5) He establishes God’s Kingdom in the Earth: God has in innumerable Scriptures promised to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace on the ruins of Satan’s empire, which is to be swept away to make room for Christ’s Kingdom. During the time before the Gospel Age, Jehovah prepared the Ancient Worthy class, the Kingdom’s chief princes, as earthly representatives of our Lord Jesus and His Church. (Psa. 45:16; Isa. 1:26; Isa. 32:1; Matt. 11:11; Heb. 11:39-40) During the Gospel Age, He has been preparing the Kings of His Kingdom in Jesus and His Church. (Heb. 1:3, 8-9; Heb. 12:2; Rom. 8:17; 2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 1:6; Rev. 5:10; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:16; Rev. 20:4-6) The coming of this Kingdom has been the hope and prayer of the faithful ever since it was promised. (Gen. 12:3; Gen. 22:16-18; Heb. 11:13-16; Matt. 6:10; 2 Tim. 4:8; Tit. 2:13; Rev. 22:20)
This Kingdom will be an absolute monarchy; hence its government will not be of the people nor by the people, but will most emphatically be for the people. Its rulers being perfect in wisdom, power, justice and love sufficiently guarantees both their worthiness to hold office and their efficiency to rule. The arrangement that they will establish for mankind will be conducive to truth and righteousness and inconducive to error and sin. This will reverse entirely the conditions prevailing in Satan’s Empire.
(6) He ministers restitution opportunities: Restitution means a return to an original estate. The original estate of the human family was the image and likeness of God, as these were exemplified in Father Adam and Mother Eve. The image of God implies perfection in the physical, mental, moral and religious faculties. Adam and Eve, before the fall, and Jesus, when on earth, were examples of this perfection. (Heb. 2:6-9) The likeness of God implies a perfect earth with perfect rulers in charge. But as St. Paul implies, the image and likeness of God (the original perfection of being and rulership) have been lost. (Heb. 2:8)In the place of the image of God has come physical, mental, moral and religious degradation. In the place of the likeness of God has come the tyranny of the cursed earth over man, greatly oppressing him, until it extinguishes his life. (Gen. 3:17-19) The Scriptures assure us that all this came upon man because of the sin of Adam, man’s example in the original trial. (Gen. 3:1-24; Rom. 5:12-21; 1 Cor. 15:21-22) Now the human family is but a wreck of what it was in Adam and Eve.
This sad, undone condition of our race has deeply appealed to the compassion of our Creator, who amid the sentence of His displeasure (death, not eternal life in torment) has remembered His mercy toward fallen and condemned man in sending His beloved Son into the world as man’s Ransom-price from death. (Matt. 20:28; 1 Tim. 2:4-6; John 3:17; Rom. 5:7-8, 16-19) As Christ’s First Advent was to lay down the Ransom-price, so His Second Advent is to make the Ransom-price available for the recovery of the non-elect, in a restitution, a return to the original estate, from the ruins of the lost image and likeness of God brought upon all by heredity through Adam’s sin. The Gospel Age, forming a parenthesis for the selection of His Bride between His two Advents, has been to make its blessings available only for the Elect, His Church.
All who will obey the reasonable requirements of Christ’s Millennial Kingdom will obtain all these blessings. In order to obtain their share in them, all of the dead who were excluded from the opportunities of becoming members of the Elect (to which only the faith class have been invited) will be awakened and brought back to this earth. Should that part of the unbelieving class which happens to live at the time of Christ’s return be favored with opportunities of Restitution, while that part which happened to die before that time be excluded from those blessings? No, because God’s ways are equal and impartial (Ezek. 18:29-32), and death does not of itself fix character.
(7) He tests and rewards all restitutionists: We are not to think that all who will be given the opportunity will attain Restitution (a return to the original estate of the human family in the image and likeness of God) and be rewarded with everlasting life. Only those who faithfully use this opportunity will be given the perfected earth (restored Eden – Isa. 35:1-10; Isa. 51:3; Ezek. 36:35) as their eternal abode and kingdom. This is shown, e.g., in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. (Matt. 25:31-46) That the righteous restitutionists will be given eternal life is shown in verse 46; and that their inheritance will be, not in heaven, but on earth, is shown in verse 34: “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” These “sheep” are the “other sheep” referred to by our Lord in John 10:16, and are not to be confused with the Gospel-Age sheep, the Gospel Church. These Restitution sheep, those who by the end of the Millennium will have the Golden Rule of love inscribed in their hearts (Matt. 25:35-40), will inherit the kingdom and honor prepared for mankind “from the foundation of the world”: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Gen. 1:28; Psa. 8:5-8)
This earthly dominion or kingdom, which the Lord will in the end of the Millennium give to His Restitution sheep, is for the tested and approved world of mankind, not for His Church, which were chosen “out of the world.” (John 15:19; John 17:16) This kingdom and honor prepared for man is quite different from the Kingdom of Heaven: “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, [the Church].” (1 Pet. 1:4) The Church, tested and found faithful during the Gospel Age (Rev. 17:14; 1 Pet. 4:17), inherits and shares this Kingdom with her Lord. (John 14:2-3; Rom. 8:17; 2 Cor. 5:1-2; 1 Thess. 4:17) The Church’s Kingdom and honor were ordained before the world unto her glory. (1 Cor. 2:7) She was chosen or designed in Christ “before the foundation of the world.” (Eph. 1:4)
Throughout the Gospel Age, the Church has been fully instructed, thoroughly tested, lovingly chastised and justly sentenced: “Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye [the Church] may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.” (2 Thess. 1:5) Likewise, He has a set time for judging the world: “Because he hath appointed a day [the Millennial Day], in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” (Acts 17:31)
During the thousand-year Judgment Day, Satan will be bound so that he can deceive the nations no more until their final testing time during the Little Season at the end of the Millennium (Rev. 20:3), when they will judged by the Christ, Head and Body.(l Cor. 6:2; Matt. 19:28) No one, whether of the Church or of the world, will be given eternal life, either as a part of the new heavens or the new earth, until they have been instructed in the way in which they should go, thoroughly tested, and properly disciplined or chastised for their correction and development into characters fitted for eternal life, some receiving many “stripes” and some few. (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21:1; Psa. 32:8; Psa. 25:8-9; 1 Tim. 2:3-6; Psa. 139:23-24; Jer. 11:20; 2 Thess. 1:4-5; Jas. 1:12; Heb. 12:8, 11; 1 Cor. 11:31-32; Isa. 26:9; Luke 12:47-48)
In the Millennial Judgment Day, those restitutionists who under the light of the Truth are rightly exercised and faithfully stand under the testing, thus proving themselves fully loyal to the principles of truth and righteousness, will be given the earth as their eternal inheritance, and they shall dwell therein forever. (Deut. 13:3; Psa. 37:9, 11, 29, 34) All who refuse to reform under the favorable conditions of the Millennial Judgment Day will be destroyed from among the people in the Second Death. They will die again, and thus be blotted out of existence forever. (Acts 3:22-23; Psa. 37:9-10, 20, 28, 34-36; Rev. 20:14-15; Rev. 21:8)
The “goats” of the parable are those who externally reform during the Millennium, but who do not have the love of God written in their hearts nor exercise it toward their fellow men. To them the Lord says: “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire [everlasting destruction], prepared for the devil and his angels . . . And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matt. 25:41, 46) The Greek word kolasin translated “punishment” here denotes a “cutting off” or everlasting destruction. (2 Thess. 1:9; Psa. 145:20; Obad. 16; Heb. 2:14; Rev. 20:9) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23) Thus Jesus will test each individual of the restitution class as to his fitness or unfitness for eternal life, and render the final decision in each case – everlasting life on earth for the righteous and everlasting destruction for the wicked.
SCRIPTURES SUPPORTING RESTITUTION
Following are some Scriptures which teach “the Restitution of all things:”
Acts 3:19-21: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive [retain] until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” “Times of refreshing” suggests the re-enkindling of life and the promotion of growth effected by rain, comparing the fallen human family to mown and burnt grass. (Isa. 40:5-8) The Greek word translated “presence” means “face,” i.e. favor (see Num. 6:24-26). During the reign of sin God’s back, not His face, is represented as turned toward man. (Jer. 18:17) During the Millennium, however, He will turn His face toward man, beaming with grace, mercy, and truth for man’s restoration. This passage expressly teaches us that Christ does not return until the Times of Restitution, the Times of Refreshing; therefore, He returns to refresh and restore the race to its original condition. Every feature of the image and likeness of God is to be restored to the willing and obedient in the Millennium. St. Peter assures us that this is the testimony of all the holy Prophets.
Acts 15:14-17: “Simeon [Peter] hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.” The Jews, expecting but one Advent of the Messiah, had difficulty in reconciling their hopes of His glorious Reign with sending the Gospel to Gentiles.
St. James here harmonizes the seeming contradiction by pointing out that there are two Advents and that the time parenthesis between them is filled in by the selection of the Bride of Christ from among Jews and Gentiles. He states that “after this” Messiah’s glorious Reign will come, and that this view harmonizes the facts with the Scriptures. There is no contradiction between the teaching of the selection of Christ’s Bride and His blessing the world of mankind. All that is needed is that they be kept separate and distinct as to the time of their operation.
With and since the fall of David’s royal house, Israel as a kingdom has been in ruins, but this kingdom is to be restored at the Lord’s return, after the testimony has been given in all the world for the selection of the Bride of Christ. (Acts 1:6-8) “Residue” means that which is left after a part is taken out of it; the residue of men, therefore, means all not taken out as prospective parts of the Bride, i.e., the whole non-elect world, living and dead. There is a difference between “the people for his name” and all the nations “upon whom my name is called.” This passage clearly shows that our Lord, with the completion of the Bride’s selection, returns to establish God’s Kingdom, and to bless all those who were passed by and left un-helped while her selection was being made. Hence it implies blessings for both the living and the dead.
Psa. 22:27-29: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.” This shows that there will be a general indoctrination and conversion of the human family combined with universal worship of God. These blessings will be due to the kingdoms of this world becoming the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ, and to His acting as Governor over the nations. (Rev. 11:15) The good (“the fat”) will appropriate to themselves the Kingdom’s blessings, and render God service in return. Those from whom the Lord did not remove the Adamic sentence in this life (“they that go down to the dust”), and who therefore could not prevent their own death, will in the Kingdom serve the Lord as a result of the Kingdom’s blessings.
Psa. 86:9: “All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.” (See also Rev. 15:4) He made all nations, yet the majority of their members have passed away in death without worshiping Him. This passage implies that they must return from the dead to get this blessing of serving and honoring God, a thing that the vast majority of them did not do in this life. Dan. 7:13- 14 and Isa. 35:4-10 show the same glorious blessing resulting from Christ’s Second Advent. The blessings that the returned Lord will give the race in its living and dead members are most eloquently, beautifully and comfortingly set forth in Psa. 72:1-19.
Isa. 25:6-9: “And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things . . . And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces . . . And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” This passage is another beautiful summary of the Kingdom work following our Lord’s Return. It describes the glorious feasts of uncontaminated and nutritious Truth and the destruction of sin and error. It shows that both the dying process and the death state will be utterly blotted out of existence, along with all tears and the persecution of the righteous, through the glorious Kingdom of God which Christ returns to establish. See also 1 Cor. 15:21-26, 55-56 and Rom. 8:19, 21.
Rom 14:9: “For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” This text expressly tells us that Christ gave Himself as our Ransom that He might become the Lord, Ruler, both of the living and the dead. Hence His death will yet, in His Kingdom, bless all of Adam’s dead race. See also Phil. 2:6-8, 9-11, which shows His sacrificial death and His consequent exaltation to be the Ruler over (1) all in heaven, which occurred at His ascension; (2) all on earth, which has not yet occurred, but which will occur after His return in the Kingdom; and (3) all under the earth (the dead) which also has not yet occurred, but which awaits His Second Advent and Kingdom, when, as already done in heaven, every tongue on earth and under the earth will acknowledge Him as Lord, thereby glorifying God.
God has given us His oath on this very point: “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” (Isa. 45:22-23) His oath here is based upon, and is explanatory of, the Oath-bound Covenant, by which God bound Himself to Christ and the Church, the Seed, to use them to bless all the families, nations and kindreds of the earth, resulting in the whole earth becoming full of His Glory. (Gen. 22:16, 18; Gal. 3:8, 16, 28-29; Num. 14:21; Psa. 72:19; Isa. 11:9; Hab. 2:14; Matt. 6:10) Since the vast majority have died unblessed, this passage implies their awakening for this blessing.
