CHAPTER I
Y2K THE NEW MILLENNIUM
I believe that the year 2000 marked the beginning of a transitional period for the body of Christ. Many feared what was ahead for us as a people as the clock ticked into the new millennium. We are now ten years into a millennium that many Christians thought they would not live to see.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “millennium” as “any period of great happiness, peace, and prosperity.” Based on this definition, it is my belief that the year 2000 was the year that restoration, perfection, and blessing began to manifest in people’s lives on a greater level.
Two Days Have Passed
The Word of God informs us that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day to the Lord. We know from the Word that Jesus died nearly 2000 years ago to redeem mankind back to God. Before His death, burial, and resurrection Jesus told the Jews that he would raise the temple up in three days. They thought that He was speaking of a natural temple, but He was speaking of Himself. Jesus was saying that when they crucified Him, He would be resurrected in three days:
…That with the Lord a day counts as a thousand years and a thousand years count as a day.
-II Peter 3:8 (Knox)
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
-John 2:19-21 (KJV)
I believe that the above scriptures have a prophetic meaning that relates to the body of Christ today. Allow me to explain – In the book of John 2:19, Jesus said that the temple would be raised on the third day. First Corinthians 6:19 and 12:27 states that we are the
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
-1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)
Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].
