Introduction: After the snatching away of the Church in the rapture when the dead shall be raised and the living shall be pulled in the air to meet Jesus, the Antichrist will confirm a covenant with the Jewish people for seven years. This is called the tribulation. But immediately following the tribulation, the judgment seat of Christ, and the marriage supper of the Lamb, Jesus Christ will sit upon His throne on earth. This is referred to in the Bible as the millennium.

1. The Millennium Reign (Rev 20; Isa 11; 65)

During this 1,000 year reign of Jesus, Satan will be bound by one mighty angel! This will be done to keep him from deceiving the nations. The martyred saints who have not worshiped the beast or received his image will be resurrected to sit on their thrones with our Lord. Keep in mind, many Jews will enter into this unparalleled time in human history with physical bodies along with some Gentiles who have passed the Judgment of the Nation’s test. Meanwhile, we the Church, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles will have glorified bodies. Children that are born during this time will be given time (100 years) to repent and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The animal kingdom will be transformed with the wolf and the lamb eating together; i.e. contrary to today when the wolf would have “lamb chops”!

The curse will be somewhat lifted much like it was in the garden of Eden. Perfect peace and prosperity will be cultural trend. Jerusalem will be changed geographically and spiritually when the Lamb of God rules and reigns from His throne situated on the Temple Mount. Messiah’s temple will make all other temples pale in comparison because if its elegance, beauty, and splendor.

King Jesus will be worshipped! But even in this perfect environment, and a unprecedented time of revival, sinful men will still be deceived by Satan when he is loosed out of his prison; and yet ultimately, he will be thrown into the lake of fire along with the false prophet and the beast to be tormented forever. Jesus is in control!
