Millennium
The Millennium
You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most
High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father
David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. Luke 1:31-33
And I saw an
angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and
holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or
Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked
and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore
until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free
for a short time. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been
given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been
beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word
of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not
received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life
and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not
come to life until the thousand years
were ended.)
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have
part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over
them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with
him for a thousand years. Revelation 20:1-6
This is Christ's 1000-year earthly reign from His throne in Jerusalem.
He will restore temple worship and animal sacrifices.
