Introduction: Jesus prayed in that model prayer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

What did He mean by “Thy Kingdom come”? Consider with me a brief study on “The Kingdom to Come.”

1. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years! (Rev 20:1-3)

“1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

Notice one angel will throw the devil into the “bottomless pit.”

2. Martyred saints who did not worship the beast or take his image will be resurrected to rule and reign with Jesus! (Rev 20:4)

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

3. At the end of the millennium, Satan will be loosed out of the abyss to go out and deceive the nations, only to meet his demise! (Rev 20:7-10)

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
