THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

 

The Scripture clearly speaks of the millennial Kingdom, which will not be violence, devastation, suffering, Sin and death, and people will live in contentment and happiness.

Consider, where and when it will come. For this, turn to the following text:

 

And I saw an Angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He took the Dragon, the Ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and concluded it, and put the seal on it, so as not to will tempt already peoples, until the thousand years were finished. but after these things he must be liberated in short time.

And I saw thrones, and seated on them, which was given to judge, and the souls of the beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, are not worshipped the beast, neither his image, and had not taken their foreheads and faces on his hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and Holy is the participation in the resurrection first: on the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.

Revelation 20.1-6

 

Events that indicate the beginning and the end of the Millennium

Many believe that the millennial Kingdom, or golden age, will come when all peoples will be converted to the Gospel and repent of their sins, and then comes the universal disarmament, disbandment of armies, eternal peace, etc., these theories are very pleasant people, but do not have the confirmation in the Bible.

On the contrary, the Bible says evil is so will increase between people that will lead them to self-destroying. This is confirmed by the discovery of atomic bombs.

The ancient Prophet wrote about the last days:

And many peoples will come and say, come, and shall on the mountain of the Lord, the God of Jacob's House, and He will teach us his ways. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaiah 2.3-4

Indeed, in the last century was very much peace conferences, but these were conversations without result: talked about the world and prepared for war. ABOUT THIS, SEEMINGLY, TALKED ISAIAH.

Because they are my people astray, saying, "peace", whereas THERE IS NO PEACE. tell Wall mud anointing that it will fall. Will be pouring rain, and you, stone hailstones, will you fall, and turbulent wind will split it.

Ezekiel 13.10-11

The beginning of the resurrection of the righteous in Christ  ( Revelation 20.4 ).

Therefore, in the millennial Kingdom are not all people and followers of Christ who will reign with him.

End of the Millennium, the resurrection of the wicked, who during his stay in death ( v.5 ).

Thus, the period of the millennial Kingdom is located between the two resurrections.

Christ spoke earlier about the two resurrections ( John 5.28-29 ).

They talked and the Apostles ( Acts 24.15, 1 Thess 4.16 ).

Thus, only the true children of God will participate in the millennial Kingdom, situated between the two resurrections.

 

When and where will the millennial Kingdom?

From Heb 9.28 and 1 Thess 4.16 and explicitly, that the first resurrection will occur at the second coming of Christ. Therefore, at the same time will begin the millennial Kingdom.

Other texts suggest that the millennial Kingdom will be on Earth, and in HEAVEN ( outside our planet - John 14.3, Phil 3.20, 1 Thess, 4.16-17, John 12.26 ) .

 

The condition of the Earth during the Millennium

The following text describes the State of the world at the second coming of Christ:

And sky fled, transform as a scroll; and every mountain and island was moved from their seats. And the Kings of the Earth, the great men, and the rich, and the commanders, the mighty, and every slave and every free fled to caves in the Valley of the mountains, and said to the mountains and stones: fall on us and hide us from the face of a Seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, which had waged a great day of His wrath, and who can resist?

Revelation 6.14-17

In disarray and fear of the unexpected phenomenon of Christ the wicked die. The Earth will turn into a desert                                    ( Jeremiah 4.23-25 ).

From here it becomes clear why Satan will be constrained  ( Rev 20.1-3 ).

Righteous Christ takes to itself ( for participation in the trial of the wicked - 1 Cor. 6.2-3 ), and the wicked will become extinct. Satan will tempt; nobody and nobody would fight.

 

Developments since the Millennium

The new Jerusalem is a city built by Christ-falls to Earth ( Rev 21.2,10 ).

Then the wicked resurrected and Satan takes them to storm the city ( Rev 20.7 ).

When the wicked will see that they have lost, there will be the following:

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourself turned away.

Luke 13.28

Then they are destroyed ( Rev 20.9 , Mal 4.1 ).

Then the land will be cleaned and re-creation ( 2 Pet 3.10-13 ) .

 

And I saw a new heaven and a new Earth.

Revelation 21.1

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK, FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.

Matthew 5.5
