One DAY is as a THOUSAND Years!
***What Does Psalm 84:10 TRULY mean?
Here is Psalm 84:10 from the KJV. “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
Psalm 84:10 is a PROPHECY of Jesus singing a psalm to Yahweh of host, about the chief musician concerning the Sons of Korah saying that ONE DAY in Yahweh’s courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
If you remember, in Luke 2:5-8, Satan offered Jesus part of his kingdom if he would bow and worship him.
Thus, prophetically, the one prophesied to sing this Psalm 84 is Jesus.
And the chief musician is prophetically referring to Satan, the sons of Korah are prophetically referring to both, the fallen angels as the example for humans to not follow in their way or rebellion.
And by humans, I mean both saved and also all unsaved humans, who are the children of Satan, the Devil.
But they do not have to REMAIN unsaved and they can become the children of God by being reconciled to their Creator, Yahweh of hosts.
So then, the main message of Psalm 84 is Jesus saying that it is better to only rule over the earth for ONE DAY in Yahweh’s court than to rule for thousands of days in the company of WICKEDNESS!
In other words, Jesus is saying that he would rather be a doorkeeper or a janitor in the house of his God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness, by giving into Satan’s temptation in Luke 4:5-8, to receive power from Satan to rule in his kingdom, according to Luke 4:5-8.

Jesus Will Reign UNTIL the 1000 Years is FINISHED!
Most Christians know and understand that Jesus will rule and reign over the whole earth for 1000 years during the world to come, according to Revelation 20:6-15, 2 Peter 3:8-18, and 1 Corinthians 15:19-28, which we will read right now.
But some Christians read right over the words, “TILL or UNTIL” He puts all of the enemies under his feet.
Also, I will highlight the words that refer to Almighty God the Father in orange.
I will highlight the words that refer to the Son of MAN, Jesus, during the days of his flesh before the cross and resurrection in yellow.
And I will highlight all of the words that refer to the GLORIFIED Jesus after the cross and resurrection in light blue.
1 Corinthians 15:19-28.
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (In other words, Paul is saying that if the Bible is a LIE and God did not raise Jesus from the dead and give him eternal life and promise the SAME glory to be given to us who BELIEVE in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then we are being deceived, and we would be better off to live like the rest of the world to do whatever pleases us)
1 Corinthians 15:20. But now, Christ has risen from the dead, and BECOME the firstfruits of them that slept. (In other words, we have not been deceived by cunningly devised fables as some wrongly teach, according to 2 Peter 1:16-21.
Rather, we are SURE beyond any doubt that the Son of MAN, Jesus has indeed risen from the dead for the very purpose of BECOMING the firstfruits unto his God and Father, of the good and faithful Christians who have died in Jesus)
1 Corinthians 15:21. For since by man came death, by MAN came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:23. But every MAN in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. (Here we see that the HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME the firstfruits in order to be MADE both Lord and Christ after the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:22-36, Philippians 2:6-11, Romans 1:3,4, and Revelation 5:12, plus many other passages of Scripture such as Hebrews 2:5-10 and 2 Peter 1:23.
For you see, the God of Jesus MADE the captain of our salvation PERFECT through the things that he SUFFERED, according to Hebrews 2:9,10)
1 Corinthians 15:24. Then comes the end, when he (Speaking of the now glorified Son of MAN, Jesus, after the 1000 year reign is FINISHED) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:25. For he must reign, till He hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:27. For He has put all things under his feet. But when He said all things are put under him, it is manifest that He is EXCEPTED, which did put all things under him.
1 Corinthians 15:28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him, that God (Speaking of Almighty God the FATHER, who ALONE is the Creator) may be all in all.”
Now, Trinitarian Christians argue that an always existing God the Son came down from heaven and was incarnated to become flesh.
Trinitarian Christians also argue that after God the Son took on human nature, he REMAINED the fully Almighty God the Son DURING the days of his FLESH having two natures at the SAME time, one divine, and one human.
Then, Trinitarian Christians argue that John 17:5 means that Jesus is praying to the Father to RESTORE the GLORY that he had with Him before the world began.
Now, to me, that “Trinitarian interpretation” of John 17:5 of God restoring the glory back to God the Son CONTRADICTS the Trinitarian argument that God the Son REMAINED fully the Almighty God the Son DURING the days of his FLESH.
I mean, if it is true that a so-called always existing Trinitarian God the Son REMAINED fully the Almighty God the Son, then it makes no sense for John 17:5 to mean that Jesus is asking his God and Father to RESTORE the glory that he already supposedly had being fully God and fully human at the SAME time during the days of his FLESH.
Also, it makes no sense for Hebrews 5:7-9 to DISTINGUISH the days of his FLESH.
And furthermore, the context of John 17:5 in John 17:22-26 clearly teaches us that Jesus will give us the SAME GLORY that his God and Father GAVE to him.
So, I implore all Trinitarian Christians to read the study called, John 17:5 PROVES the Son of MAN ENTERED INTO Glory!
For you see, the doctrine of the Trinity is wrongly teaching ANOTHER Jesus that the Apostles did not teach us in the New Testament.
But for now, here are just some of the many verses and passages of Scripture that absolutely PROVE beyond any shadow of a doubt that the HUMAN Son of God was RECEIVED up into heaven to BECOME the ETERNAL Son of God after the cross and resurrection.
And therefore, Jesus is God’s FIRSTBORN or ever new creature in the IMAGE of the unseen God, the firstborn among many brethren.
God’s HUMAN Son was HIGHLY EXALTED, according to Psalm 89:19, Psalm 89:24-27, Acts 2:33, Acts 5:31, and Philippians 2:6-11.
God’s HUMAN Son was prophesied to be resurrected and receive God’s COUNTENANCE or His LIKENESS, according to Psalm 21:3-7, Acts 2:28, Psalm 17:5.
God’s HUMAN Son was prophesied to be resurrected to BECOME a God to JUDGE the world, according to Psalm 82:6-8, Psalm 45:6-7, the fulfillment in Hebrews 1:1-14, Psalm 110:1, and the fulfillment in Acts 2:22-42, and God will judge the world by the MAN He raised from the dead.
God’s HUMAN Son was prophesied to be SEATED on God’s throne UNTIL God puts all enemies under his feet, according to, Psalm 110:1, Matthew 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:42-43, Acts 2:34,35, Hebrews 1:13, Hebrews 10:12-13, and Micah 4:6-8.
God’s HUMAN Son was prophesied to be set or ANOINTED as God’s King of kings, according to Psalm 2:6-9, Psalm 45:6-7, Psalm 89:24-27, Psalm 89:36-37, Psalm 110:1, Isaiah 9:6-7, Daniel 7:13-14, Matthew 28:18, Acts 2:34-36, Acts 5:30-31, Ephesians 1:20-22, Philippians 2:6-11, Corinthians 15:25, Hebrews 1:3-5, and Hebrews 12:2.
And God set or promised all of these things in His word as a joy before His human Son to ENDURE the cross, according to Hebrews 12:2.
I cannot stress enough how it make no sense whatsoever for a so-called always existing Almighty God to Son to become flesh, then be supposedly RESTORED to all of his former glory which he always had and supposedly remained in his fullness of the Godhead during the days of his flesh, to only rule for 1000 years UNTIL his God and Father puts all of the enemies under his feet.
And then the always fully Almighty God commits the kingdom into the hand of his God and Father to take his place among his fellows and be SUBJECT unto Yahweh the Father.
That does not sound like God HIGHLY EXALTING His Son, Jesus.
For you see, to go from being fully equal with Almighty God to now being under and subject to his God and Father to rule ONLY over the earth and ONLY for 1000 years does not fit with the God intended meaning of God HIGHLY EXALTING His Son.
But for God to create Himself a HUMAN Son in the womb of a human woman to bear a fully HUMAN Son makes perfect sense seeing that Lucifer falsely accused the Creator of creating him flawed or with a sinful nature.
Thus, according to Satan, it was God’s fault that he rebelled and waged a war against the other side of heaven, because God did not CREATE him PERFECT, according to Satan’s FALSE accusation blaspheming God’s NAME.
Psalm 74:10.
“O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy BLASPHEME Your NAME forever?”
God is doing all that He is doing BECAUSE of His NAME, or reputation as being a good CREATOR has been falsely accused.
In other words, in Isaiah 12, God assures Lucifer that from the day that God CREATED him to the day that sin was found in him. God created him PERFECT.
Thus, God is saying, do not BLAME Me for you sin of rebellion against My throne of authority.
So, in order to CLEAR God’s name as a GOOD Creator, God chose to make MAN and the Son of MAN a little lower or inferior to the angels to STILL His ENEMIES, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
And that is why Jesus will rule ONLY over the earth and ONLY for 1000 years for the purpose of God judging the world by His NEW CREATION of righteous humans who shall endure unto the end to be found His good and faithful servants that are TRUTHFUL WITNESSES.
Every Christian and every human being are a WITNESS, but the question is, “Will YOU be found to be a TRUTHFUL witness for God that He can use to JUDGE Satan on the final Day of Judgment.
Or will you be found as a WITNESS for God’s enemy, Satan, the Devil by what you CONFESS as your word of TESTIMONY concerning what you BELIEVE?”
Please read the study called Why Does God Need WITNESSES?
So then, instead of just giving you the Scripture references with links above under number 4, I will write out all of the verses having the words UNTIL and TILL in them, referring to the 1000-year reign of Jesus coming to an end.
Again, God’s HUMAN Son was prophesied to be SEATED on God’s throne UNTIL his God puts all enemies under his feet, according to, Psalm 110:1, Matthew 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:42-43, Acts 2:34,35, Hebrews 1:13, Hebrews 10:12-13, and Micah 4:6-8.
“A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you at My right hand, UNTIL I make your enemies your footstool.”
So again, Psalm 84:10 is a prophecy of Jesus telling Satan, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
“Saying, What do you think of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
Matthew 22:43. He said unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:44. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you on My right hand, TILL I make your enemies your footstool? (So again, Psalm 84:10 is a prophecy of Jesus telling Satan, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”)
Matthew 22:45. If David then calls him Lord, how is he His son?”
“And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How come the scribes say that Christ is the Son of David?
Mark 12:36. For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, TILL I make your enemies your footstool. (So again, Psalm 84:10 is a prophecy of Jesus telling Satan, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”)
Mark 12:37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.”
“And he said unto them, How come they say that Christ is David’s son?
Luke 20:42. And David himself said in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you on My right hand,
Luke 20:43. TILL I make your enemies your footstool. (So again, Psalm 84:10 is a prophecy of Jesus telling Satan, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”)
Luke 20:44. David therefore calls him Lord, how is he then His son?”
“This Jesus (Speaking of the MAN APPROVED of God in verse 22) has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33. Therefore, being by the right hand of God EXALTED, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
Acts 2:34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you on My right hand,
Acts 2:35. UNTIL I make your foes your footstool.”
Again, Psalm 84:10 is a prophecy of Jesus telling Satan, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
“But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on My right hand, UNTIL I make your enemies your footstool?”
“But this MAN, AFTER he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:13. From henceforth expecting TILL his enemies are made his footstool.”
“In that day, (Speaking of the 1000 year reign of Jesus, which is also known as the Day of the Lord where Jesus was made to be the Lord of the Sabbath, the true seventh DAY of Yahweh’s REST.
In the Day) said the LORD, will I assemble her that halts, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; (Speaking of the remnant of Israel that survives the wrath of God that will be executed by Jesus and the saints, according to Psalm 149:4-9)
Micah 4:7. And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: (Speaking of the Muslims and the unsaved Gentiles.
For you see, there will be another REMNANT at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
And that remnant shall be those of the nations who shall be DECEIVED by Satan to make war after having 1000 years of PEACE during the reign of Jesus) and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from HENCEFORTH, even forever.
Micah 4:8. And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, (Speaking of the highly exalted and glorified Son of MAN, Jesus, whom his God made Lord after the cross and resurrection) unto you (My new God over the whole earth) shall it come, even the FIRST dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.”
Daniel 7:13,14.
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, (In other words, the HUMAN Son of God ascended up into heaven just like the prophecy in Proverbs 30:1-4) and came to the Ancient of days, (Just like the PROPHECY in John 1:2, when it is correctly translated like it is in the LITERAL translation, and the SAYING was TOWARD the God) and they brought him near before Him.
Daniel 7:14. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, (Or more correctly translated, his dominion is a FUTURE dominion that shall not ALTER or fail) and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
Can you not see that it was God’s HUMAN Son whom He CREATED to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels, that God RECEIVED up into heaven to be MADE a Lord, a King, and a God to rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME of Yahweh for a DAY, a day that will be 1000 years long?
Thus, Psalm 84:10 is a PROPHECY of Jesus saying,
