Imagine being called a youth at a hundred years old. But in the days of Noah, they were fathering children at the
age of five hundred years, just like Noah’s first born, Shem. But Isaiah states, the sinner being a hundred shall
die as we do now. Remember, the wages of sin is still death. People will be still capable of sinning against God
during the Millennium, even though the main source of sin, Satan, is locked up in the bottomless pit described in
Revelation 20:3. This leaves other means of temptation in the world and the flesh. The world will be brought
under strict control. As the Lord states, He will have to “rule them with a rod of iron,” which is described in Psalms
2:9 and Revelation 19:15. So, what will man do for a thousand years on this restored earth?

Isaiah 65:21-23 “They will build houses and inhabit them;

They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 “They will not build and another inhabit,
They will not plant and another eat;
For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.
23 “They will not labor in vain,
Or bear children for calamity;
For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD,
186
And their descendants with them.”

We will be building new houses and planting vineyards and fruit trees to eat. Vegetarianism must become a way
of life for all living things. This is the practice of subsisting on a “diet composed primarily or wholly of vegetables, grains,
fruits, nuts, and seeds.” 187 We rebuild houses for habitation because they must have been destroyed with the
severe hailstorms and earthquakes. The hailstorm will come upon the earth during the Seventh Bowl of Wrath.

Revelation 16:21 “And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon
men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely
severe.”

What is it in the heavens which symbolizes that it is time for the planet earth’s renewal? This renewal process
occurs after six days at the End of the Tribulation. The sun is eclipsed by the moon and Saturn. The sign is given
by God, in which Saturn represents and symbolizes agriculture and harvest.

Saturn is the ruler and father figure. It is also associated with the Law. In ancient Roman religion and myth,
Saturn (Latin: Saturnus) was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. Therefore, this
represents the renewal of fruit trees and all green vegetation on the earth.

Saturn has always been associated with the letter of the law. Early religions have identified Saturn with the god of Early Scripture,
whom they regarded as a tyrannical father, obsessed with rigid enforcement of the law. There is a symbolic link between Saturn and
the God of Early Scripture through the use of Saturday. Saturn's Day, the seventh day of Scripture, which is the holy day of rest.
Saturn brings structure and meaning to the world. Saturn knows the limits of time and matter. Saturn reminds us of boundaries,
responsibilities, and commitments. It brings definition to lives.

Saturn's glyph, or symbol, shows the cross of matter (reality) over the soul, representing the material nature of man
reigning. Note that the symbol of Saturn is the symbol of Jupiter inverted! Jupiter is the Messianic star.
