绵羊承受那创世以来为他们所豫备的国
在基督荣耀宝座前的审判之后，“绵羊”要迁到千年国里，在基督和得胜信徒的君尊治理之下（启二26-27，十二5，二十4-6），并在得救犹太人的祭司职任之下（亚八20-23）作百姓。这样，他们就要“承受那（要来的）国。”
千年国有三部分：地上的部分，是神创造的福所临到之地，如创世记一章二十八至三十节所说的；迦南地上以色列国的部分，从尼罗河至幼发拉底河，得救的犹太人要在那里治理全地（赛六十10-12，亚十四16-18）；属天、属灵的部分（林前十五50-52），得胜的圣徒要在其中享受国度的赏赐（太五20，七21）。“绵羊”所要承受的国，乃是第一部分。在千年国第一部分里的福，就是神创造的福，是从创世以来为“绵羊”豫备的：第三部分里的福，就是属天、属灵之国的福，是在创世以前（弗一3-4）为信徒豫备的。
神的经纶是要恢复地，并在地上完全建立祂的国
全地都在神的行政之下，为着完成祂的经纶。神的经纶是要恢复地，并在地上完全建立祂的国。神对地的兴趣大于诸天。照着圣经，神的心意是要离开诸天。祂渴望从诸天降下，并在地上建立祂的国。
在作为神行政范围的神国里，需要三种人：祭司、君王、百姓或国民。主在橄榄山上所说关于国度的豫言，论到神带进祂国的经纶。这末了的话告诉我们，神在地上行动的结果乃是建立祂的国。结果神要得着三班人：祭司、君王和国民，藉他们祂要得着完整的国。撒迦利亚八章启示，犹太人要在将来的国里作祭司。他们要教导万民事奉神，那时就不再有拜偶像的事。在这豫言的第二段所论到的信徒都要作王，而国民乃要从万民中分别出来。主何等有智慧，只用两章长的豫言就包括了神一切的经纶！

The Ending of the Sheep — Entering into the Kingdom – Matt. 25:34
The Sheep Inheriting the Kingdom Prepared for Them from the Foundation of the World
After the judgment at Christ’s throne of glory, the sheep will be transferred into the millennium to be the people under the kingly ruling of Christ and the overcoming believers (Rev. 2:26-27; 12:5; 20:4-6) and under the priestly ministry of the saved Jews (Zech. 8:20-23). In this way, they will “inherit the [coming] kingdom.”
In the millennium there will be three realms: the realm of the earth, where the blessing of God’s creation, as mentioned in Genesis 1:28-30, will take place; the realm of the nation of Israel in Canaan, from the Nile to the Euphrates, in which the saved Jews will rule over the whole earth (Isa. 60:10-12; Zech. 14:16-18); and the heavenly and spiritual realm (1 Cor. 15:50-52), where the overcoming believers will enjoy the kingdom reward (5:20; 7:21). The kingdom which the sheep will enter will be the first realm. The blessing of the first realm in the millennium, the blessing of God’s creation, was prepared for the sheep from the foundation of the world, whereas the blessing in the third realm, the blessing of the heavenly and spiritual kingdom, was ordained for the believers before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3-4).
God’s Economy to Recover the Earth and Establish His Kingdom in a Full Way on the Earth
The whole earth is under God’s administration, which is for the carrying out of his economy. God’s economy is to recover the earth and to establish his kingdom in a full way on the earth. God is more interested in the earth than in the heavens. According to the Bible, God’s intention is to leave the heavens. He desires to come down from the heavens and set up his kingdom on the earth.
In the kingdom of God as the sphere of God’s administration, there is the need for three kinds of people: the priests, the kings and the people or the citizens. The prophecy concerning the kingdom given by the Lord on the Mount of Olives concerns God’s economy to bring in his kingdom. This final word tells us the result of God’s activity on earth to establish his kingdom. The result is that God will obtain three peoples, the priests, the kings and the citizens, with whom he will have a complete kingdom. Zechariah chapter 8 reveals that the Jews will be the priests during the coming kingdom. They will teach all the nations to serve God. There will no longer be any idolatrous worship. The believers, covered in the second section of this prophecy, will be the kings, and the citizens will be taken from among the nations. How wise the Lord is, including all of God’s economy in a prediction just two chapters long!
