Rev.20:3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Rev 20:7: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.

 

 Everyone; and I mean everyone, will hear God's Truth eventually; undistorted, untainted, the full 'vintage of Wine'. However, even upon hearing, and truly understanding His Word, many will still choose Satan during that thousand year millennium.

Isa 1:26   And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

     'The city of righteousness, the faithful city' has an interesting word order in the Hebrew. 'The', before 'city', in Hebrew is 'tsedeq', which is also the same word as 'righteousness' in this verse, which means 'natural, moral or legal' (Strong's no. 6664). What's the subject been so far in these last few verses?  Righteousness, fair judgment, proper and moral litigation, or law; In other words, the reason why the justice system is ineffective in many cases, is because of the lack of 'moral litigation'. You can't have fair and just law unless a 'moral sense' goes along with it. And where does that 'moral sense' spring from?  Our Father Jehovah of course, from His Law, not man's. Man cannot know true 'righteous' moral judgment on his own within himself. He will always fail without doing it God's Way.
     This restoration of 'judges as at the first' has not happened yet. This is yet future. (And we are in the Old Testament) God will restore Jerusalem under the reign of His Son Jesus Christ...

 

 Ezek. 44:23: And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

 

... Of the Zadok priests in that city during the Millennium. This verse has the connection between true morals (from God), and righteousness all in it.

Isa 1:27   Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

     Connect this verse with the previous one. ‘Converts’ are Christ’s people, the elect. The elect are represented ‘with righteousness’ here because not all that love Jesus will worship Him, but will stumble at The Word, and worship the false messiah, i.e., Satan, because they allowed themselves to be misled by false teachers and false doctrines that are not part of God’s Word, instead of coming to our Father and understanding His Word for themselves. Also, this 'Zion' does not represent the Jewish people only, and I'm talking of the true believers of Judah. If you'll remember in...

 Ezekiel 37: Read All. The two sticks.

God stated that He will put the 'two sticks' back together when His Kingdom is set up on this earth in the future. One 'stick' represents the Ten Lost tribes of Israel, named there as 'Joseph', 'Ephraim', 'house of Israel', and the other 'stick' represents the tribe of Judah.

 

 (Ezek.37:15>): Read All. The 'two sticks'

 

 Believers on Christ Jesus from all peoples and nations will be included also.

 

 Rev.7: 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earthy...

 

That is the real 'Zion' referred to in this verse. Therefore, I hope you realize that we are getting ready to see an attempt to establish a 'false Zion' in our near future upon this earth. It must and
