亚十四16 所有前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中余剩的人，必年年上来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华，并守住棚节。

　　八22　 必有多族的人和强国的民来到耶路撒冷，寻求万军之耶和华，恳求耶和华的恩。

　　在主对付信徒、犹太人和万民，并清理一切消极事物以后，祂将要带进千年国。……千年国指基督再来作王治理世界之后，新天新地之前的时间，为时一千年。旧约里有许多关于千年国的经文（诗二6、8~9，赛二2~5，十一1~10，六五20~25，三十26，亚八20~23，诗七二1~17，赛四2~6，九7，十二1~5，十六5，三二1~2，四十9~11，六一4~9，亚十四16~21）。新约在启示录二十章四节、六节说到与基督一同作王一千年，就是指千年国（真理课程四级卷二，二九八页）。

　　Zech. 14:16 And everyone left from all the nations that went forth against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

　　8:22 Indeed, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of Jehovah.

　　After the Lord deals with the believers, the Jews, the nations, and Antichrist with his followers, He will bring in the millennial kingdom... The millennium refers to the time between Christ’s second coming as a King to rule the earth and the new heaven and new earth. This time will last for one thousand years. There are many verses in the Old Testament concerning the millennial kingdom (Psa. 2:6, 8-9; Isa. 2:2-5; 11:1-10; 65:20-25; 30:26; Zech. 8:20-23; Psa. 72:1-17; Isa. 4:2-6; 9:7; 12:1-5; 16:5; 32:1-2; 40:9-11; 61:4-9; Zech. 14:16-21). In the New Testament, the millennium is referred to in Revelation 20:4 and 6. These verses speak of those who reign with Christ for a thousand years. (Truth Lessons—Level Four, vol. 2, p. 254)

　　千年国要带进万物复兴〔徒三21〕。……这复兴不仅影响人，也影响整个受造之物—诸天、地、动物甚至树木。一切因着人堕落而遭受咒诅的事物都要得恢复。在以赛亚书、撒迦利亚书和诗篇里，有许多关于千年国带进复兴的预言。以赛亚三十章二十六节说，“当耶和华缠裹祂百姓的伤口、医治祂民受祂击打之伤的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一样。”这指明天上的日、月要恢复到原初的情形。此外，一切受造之物也都要恢复到原初的光景。兽类和畜类要恢复到一个地步，“豺狼必与绵羊羔同居，豹子必与山羊羔同卧。”（十一6）这不是神奇的，乃是正常、普通的。……基督再来时，一切都要得复兴，树

　　 木要发旺，花朵也要盛开。三十五章一至二节说，“旷野和干旱之地必然欢喜；沙漠也必欢腾，又像玫瑰开花。必开花繁盛，乐上加乐，而且欢呼。”不仅如此，“在旷野必有水发出，在沙漠必有河涌流。灼热的沙地要变为水池，干渴之地要变为水泉。”（6~7）并且，“在那里必有一条大道，一条路，称为圣别之路。”（8）（真理课程四级卷二，二九八至二九九页）

　　神用旧造预备祂所需要的三班人：召会的得胜者，在千年国时作君王；得救的以色列人，在千年国时作祭司；以及复兴的列国，在千年国时作百姓。在千年国时代，神要继续成全那些在召会时代，不愿与神够用的恩典合作，以得成全的信徒。因为他们没有得成全就死了，神就要在要来的千年国时代，就是仍在旧造里的时代，成全他们。

　　在千年国时代，神也要炼净复兴的列国。他们被炼净后，就有资格在新地上成为神的百姓，但不是成为神的众子。因此，千年国时代仍要被神用来作预备的时代。在这时代，神要成全那些在召会时代未得成全的圣徒，使他们能有资格进入新耶路撒冷，作神永远的国。在千年国时，神也要炼净复兴的列国，在新地上作百姓（新约总论第八册，五三页）。

　　The millennium will bring in “the restoration of all things” [Acts 3:21]... The restoration will affect not only man but also the entire old creation—heaven, earth, the animals, and even the trees. Everything that was cursed through the fall of man will be restored. There are many prophecies in Isaiah, Zechariah, and the Psalms regarding the millennium bringing in restoration. Isaiah 30:26 says, “The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, / And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, / On the day when Jehovah binds up the breach of His people / And heals the wound left from His stroke.” This indicates that the sun and the moon will be restored to their original condition. Furthermore, all creatures will be restored to their original condition. The beast and the cattle will be restored to such an extent that “the wolf will dwell with the lamb; / And the leopard will lie down with the kid” (11:6). This will not be miraculous; rather, it will be normal and common... When Christ comes again, everything will be restored. The trees will flourish, and the flowers will blossom abundantly. According to 35:1-2, “The wilderness and the desert will be glad; / And the desert will exult and blossom / Like the rose. / It will blossom and blossom, / And even exult with exultation and a ringing shout.” Furthermore, “water will break forth in the wilderness, / And streams in the desert. / And the desert mirage will become a pool, / And the thirsty ground, springs of water” (vv. 6-7). Also, “a highway will be there, and a way, / And it will be called, The Way of Holiness” (v. 8). (Truth Lessons—Level Four, vol. 2, pp. 254-255)

　　The old creation is used by God to prepare the three kinds of people He needs: the church overcomers to be the kings in the millennium, the saved Israelites to be the priests in the millennium, and the restored nations to be the people in the millennium. During the dispensation of the millennium, God will continue to perfect the believers who were not willing to cooperate with God’s sufficient grace to be perfected during the church age. Because they have died without being perfected, God will perfect them in the coming age of the millennium, an age that will still be in the old creation.

　　During the age of the millennium, God will also purify the restored nations. After they have been purified, they will be qualified to become God’s people, but not His sons, in the new earth. Therefore, the millennial age will still be used by God as an age of preparation. During this age He will perfect the saints who have not been perfected during the age of the church so that they may be qualified to enter into the New Jerusalem for God’s eternal kingdom. During the millennium, God will also purify the restored nations to be the people on the new earth. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2595-2596)
