Millennium – Introduction – Part 3

The Millennium is mentioned six times in the third last chapter of the Bible.
Peter also makes reference to a day being like a thousand years.
God created the world in six days and we are about six thousand years from Adam!
Is Christ about to return? Is the final millennium about to start?
The Millennium is important because it helps tie together all the teachings of the Bible.
Christians will spend eternity with God in the New Jerusalem on a New Earth.
Do born again believers go to Heaven? If so, when? The answer is YES! BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS WILL BE IN HEAVEN DURING THE MILLENNIUM!
How does God deal with the Nations who are not His People? What about the unsaved ones who are kind to God’s people and do not receive the mark of the beast? Answer: the people on Earth during the Millennium are referred to as the Nations. The Nations go on into eternity, but they do not have the same privilages as the people in the New Jerusalem.
How can Christ reign until he has put all things under his feet and then hand the kingdom Back to the Father? Answer: the Millennium.
Who do the believers reign over? Who are they priests too? Who do they have authority over? The answer is THE NATIONS. Who then are the NATIONS?
When do the Believers get their reward? The Answer begins with the MILLENNIUM.

ONLY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS GO TO HEAVEN AND ONLY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS WILL BE PART OF THE NEW JERUSALEM (THE WIFE OF THE LAMB)

What’s more, ALL born again believers go to heaven to reign with Christ for the Millennium and then descend to become the New Jerusalem in eternity.

The Millennium – Introduction – Part 1

 

When Christ comes unexpectedly at the end of this Age, He will redeem his people from the Earth.
The dead in Christ will rise first followed by those who are alive in Christ. This is the first ressurrection and the rapture (or the Harvest) at the End of the Age.
Hence, all believers will be called up to be with Christ when he returns and they will remain with Him forever. (1Thess 4:17)
They will stand before The Judgment Seat of Christ and will reign with him for 1000 years in Heaven over the Nations on Earth and will be rewarded for the things that they have done in the Body.
When Christ returns with his army of Believers, he will defeat the Beast and the False Prophet and the Kings of the Earth. He will separate the nations into the Sheep and the Goats.
The Dead outside of Christ will not be raised until after the Millennium.
Satan is bound for the duration of the Millennium and then is released for a brief time before being thrown into to the Lake of Fire where the Beast and the Antichrist were thrown.
At the End of the Millennium, the Dead in Hades and the Sea will be raised for Judgment at the Great White Throne. Those whose names are not in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire which is the second death.
Death itself is thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Finaly, when all things have been put under Christ’s feet, the Son hands the Kingdom back to the Father.
God then makes all things New.
The New Jerusalem descends from heaven as a Bride beautifully adorned for her husband.
God lives with Man on Earth in the New Jerusalem which is composed of New and Old Testament believers.
The Nations are outside but are allowed to bring their glory into the New Jerusalem once a year and are given the Leaves of the Tree of Life for healing.
