Millennial Kingdom On Earth

Revelation 20

The phrase “Millennial Kingdom” refers to a future period when Jesus Christ reigns over an earthly kingdom for 1,000 years. Most agree, when taken at face value, chapter 20 of the book of Revelation reveals there is to be a future earthly kingdom of 1,000 years duration following the Second Coming of Christ.

During this time Satan will be bound and tossed into the bottomless pit for 1000 years, the Tribulation Martyrs will be resurrected so they can rule and reign with Christ and at the end of the millennial reign of Christ, the final resurrection will consist of all of the unbelieving, wicked dead. They will be found guilty at the Great White Throne Judgment and cast into the Lake of Fire, which burns forever and ever.

The redeemed will be blessed with God’s intimate presence for eternity, but these (the unbelieving) go away into torment and eternal separation from all that is good.

The Truth

“These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power” (2 Thessalonians 1:9)
