The Millennial Kingdom, Part 1

Today Pastor Michael is continuing the series, “The End Times” with a discussion on the Millennial times.  This is the 1,000 years of peace during the End Times.  This period comes right after the Tribulation.  During this time Satan is held in a  bottomless pit during the 1,000 years and thus starts the “First Resurrection”.  This concept marries the spirit of a believer that goes to be with Jesus with their body being remade into perfection so that we can experience all that Jesus wants us to. 

This first resurrection began with Jesus, continues with the Rapture where the dead believers are raised and concludes the raising of the Tribulation Saints.  At this point, every believer of all time has been raised.

There is a “Second Resurrection” which Pastor Micheal will cover next week, but for now, we’ll discuss this Millennial Kingdom. There are many promises that will be fulfilled, most notable are:

1. Christ will be King of the Earth in Perfect Peace and Prosperity. 2 Samuel 7: 10-13, Psalm 2: 8, Isaiah 2: 2-4, Ezekiel 37: 24, Daniel 7: 9-14, Luke 1: 32-33 and 1 Corinthians 6: 2.
2. Earth Restored Like Eden.  Isaiah 11: 6-9, 32: 13-15, 35: 7, 1-2, 65: 25 and Ezekiel 34: 25-30.
3. Israel will be Regathered and Established in the Promised Land.  Isaiah 2: 2-4, Amos 9: 14, Zechariah 8: 3 and Malachi 3: 1-3.
4. Pure Worship in a Restored Temple.  Ezekiel 37: 26-28 and chapters 40-48.
5. Supernaturally Good Health and Long Life. Isaiah 33: 24, 35: 5-6, 65: 20-23 and Ezekiel 47: 12. 

We serve a God that keeps His promises!

Today’s bible verses are found in Revelation 20: 1-6, plus those listed above in the Promises section of the Millennial Kingdom, plus the verse that guides us through all of this: 2 Peter 3: 11.
