  2. “During the Millennium the curse will be greatly lifted and at the end of the Millennium it will be completely removed for the eternal state.” Discuss this curse and how it came upon the world. Discuss the extent to which it affects us every day.

CHALLENGE

  1. Are you willing to wait for God’s blessing in His future kingdom? Health, wealth, and prosperity are not guaranteed to the believer now. But they are coming in the future, for certain. “And it will be said in that day: ‘Behold, 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.’” Isaiah 25:9

  • “He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 25:8
