Last week we learned about the terrible final scenes of the great controversy. Satan, sin, and sinners will be finally destroyed. Then the earth will be re-created to be the home for God's people. Let's take a look at what life will be like in the earth

Audio recording of Ken Hart's Sabbath School recorded for Sabbath, June 28, 2025.

I have chickens. They are not my chickens. They belong to the neighbor. He already had chickens in a chicken coop. Now he has ten more chickens. They are not in the chicken coop. They are in my yard. My flowers. Digging holes in the yard and around the foundation of the house. Pooping on the porch. Hanging out. I tried playing red-tail hawk sounds really loud. I tried taking watermelon rinds and veggie scraps over to their property, but they still lurk in the shady spots and follow me around every time I go outside to work. They just stick around. It took me a whole day to lay chicken wire under the flower bed mulch to keep them from destroying my carefully designed and freshly-planted flower beds. We let the neighbor know, but so far, we still have sticken' chickens. I even told them the story of when Billie Idol went missing, but while they enjoyed story time, they don't connect Billie's demise to their current situation. Chickens are like that. When I was four years old, my first pet was a chicken named Slicker. Grandma's cat Fuchsia ate it. I didn't connect a cat to Slicker's current situation. I was telling a good friend about our sticken' chickens yesterday, and we were chatting about the danger of Moses' forty days of absence on the mountain. The Israelites and mixed multitude pretty much gave up on his return. In spite of every miracle they'd seen, they couldn't wait forty full days for the next one. Not only that, they started breaking the Big Ten. An idol. Sexual immorality. You know the story. They'd been delivered from slavery in Egypt; they'd been immersed as a congregation in the Reed Sea; they'd witnessed the glory of Adonai and agreed to His covenant at the mountain…and yet, they had sticken' chickens from Egypt. They went right back to feeding slavery to sin. “For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea...” (1 Co 10:1-2) The tunnel of the Reed Sea was like a birth canal. Immersion has always been a symbol of a resurrection that is more than symbolic. On the Third Day of Creation was a birth of life from the water to fruit trees. On the dawn of the Seventh Day of Passover, the Israelites completed a supernaturally fast, effortless journey through the Reed Sea. Likewise, immersion (mikveh) is undertaken as a rebirth. The pattern is this: • Water represents spirit (as does fire) • The earth is the substance of mankind, adam • When YHVH turns the sea into dry land as a way of escape, that which was spirit became substance/flesh in order to provide a new beginning for Israel/mankind, a resurrection from the sin decay of mere earth to earthly life with the spirit, a promise of wholeness and perfections completed from above • New life follows a mikveh in Messiah, the Great Hand of YHVH. This is the mystical picture of the Reed Sea. When YHVH turned the sea into dry land, he figuratively resurrected the Israelites. When the natural body dies, it returns to the earth. In Messiah Yeshua, the bared arm of YHVH, mankind is resurrected from earth through water. “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with,

Last week we explored a little about what life will be like during the time of the millennium after Jesus comes again. This week we will learn what will happen as the millennium comes to an end.

In this engaging conversation, Peter Hiett shares on Genesis, and emphasizes the centrality of God's love in our identity and redemption. The guys explore the interconnectedness of creation, salvation, and the nature of God. They discuss how traditional narratives often start with human failure rather than God's success, emphasizing the importance of understanding disobedience as a space for God's mercy. The conversation delves into the nature of time and eternity, the power of prayer, and the symbolism of the temple as a representation of love and sacrifice. Ultimately, they highlight the relationship between humanity and God, emphasizing that eternal life is about awakening to the goodness of existence and recognizing that what we take from God has always been given to us. Peter and Jason also discuss the significance of the cross, the nature of faith as a divine gift, and the evolving state of the church in contemporary society. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of authentic worship and the communal experience of faith.For more on Peter HiettWebsite: https://relentless-love.org/For more content like this, go to:https://afamilystory.org/Please rate, review, share, and SUBSCRIBE!Podcast intro and outro music by Wilde AssemblyJoin A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/e2f4i4Join Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/ Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis Send a donation!! https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8

Would you like to live in heaven with Jesus for 1,000 years? The millennium is the first 1,000 years we'll spend in heaven with Jesus. Let's explore the millennium and what will be happening during that time with the Bible as our guide.

Can you think of the best thing that's ever happened to you? What about the worst thing? Did you know God was with you both times, just as He was with Joseph? Memory Verse -- Nothing can separate us from the love God has for us. ROMANS 8:38, 39, ICB. God

Would you like to live to witness the second coming of Jesus and then go to heaven to be with Him? Stop and think for a few moments about that glorious event, when you will see Jesus face to face. What can you do right now to prepare for His coming?

Is there anything you are afraid of? Joseph was afraid, but he decided to trust in God. Memory Verse -- When I am afraid, I will trust in you. PSALM 56:3, NIV. When we are afraid, we can trust in God.
