54. The Millenium

 

ISAIAH 2:4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; 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. -WEB Bible. 

After Christ’s return, he will begin to reign for 1000 years. This truly will be a new day dawning on planet earth! 

  • Life as we know it now, will be changed drastically: because the value systems of Babylon were destroyed. 
  • Those who were martyred for Christ will be resurrected to rule and reign with him during the Millennium.  
  • Governments will rule in righteousness under Jesus Christ. Can you imagine having honest politicians? 
  • It will take many months to clean up the terrible mess of Armageddon, and then people will turn war machines into farming tools instead. 
  • Jerusalem will be the most beautiful city on earth. Those who live there will be considered blessed.  

All these things (and more) will fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah and his reign of righteousness. 

At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be released from the Abyss for a short time. Once again, people will make their choices: whom will they serve? Then Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire with the antichrist and the false prophet, where they will be tormented forever.
