Question: Will there be any sacrifices offered during the Millenium? When will be the destruction of Babylon (The Catholic Church?)
Answer: The latter chapters of Ezekiel plainly tell us sacrifices will be offered during the millennium.
The destruction of Eccles. Babylon will take place during the latter half of the 70th week of Daniel. All denominational divisions will be merged in the great Roman Catholic system when the Lord returns from heaven in judgment. There is not a vestige of apostate Christendom left. It is apostate Judaism He judges the vine of the earth.
Question: After the Lord removes the Church, what will become of those who now refuse the gospel? Will the Holy Spirit have to do with the earth after the Church is gone?
Answer: When the Lord has taken away His Church, those who have refused the truth will be given up to strong delusion, and there is no hope held out for their conversion (2 Thess. 2:10-1210And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:10‑12)). The Holy Spirit is not then dwelling in the Church on earth, as He is no longer here. But the Holy Spirit will act on earth, as He did before He came to glorify Christ, and to form the Church. An elect number of Israel will be sealed, and a vast multitude of the Gentiles saved (Rev. 7), who have not heard the Gospel.
The Holy Spirit will no longer act, as now, in hindering lawlessness. It is terrible to think what will be the state of this world when all restraint on man’s lawless nature is removed for a short time, and Satan, the dragon, takes the place of God, and leads his dupe, the man of sin, to do the same visibly. Strange to say, the word by which Satan is leading men on towards this awful slavery is called liberty. But we wait for the Son of God from heaven.
