QUESTIONS ON THE END OF TIME (4)


The Fourth of an On-going Series of Biblical Answers

                                          What is the Millennium?
Rev. 20:2, 3
King James Version (KJV)
20 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And 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.

 




A


Millenium is one thousand years.  The biblical Millennium will be a period of peace, love, and brotherhood when all nature lives in the harmony that was intended in the Garden of Eden.  The Book of Isaiah (11:6-9)  speaks of a time when the wild animals will live at peace with domestic animals, when the serpents will no longer bite.  A little child will be able to play by a cobra’s den or lead wild beast around and not be harmed.  Military schools will close, and implements of war will no longer be manufactured.  The money and resources that now go into warfare will then be devoted to peaceful pursuits.  When this day comes, every person will have his own plot of ground, his own home.  All will live in harmony with their neighbors.  No one will be afraid that someone will try to steal his belongings.  There will be universal peace, for the knowledge of the Lord will cover the Earth as the waters cover the sea.


S
 ome believe the Millennium is a transition period, when Jesus Christ comes back to Earth to show mankind what it would have been like if sin had never entered the world.  It will be a time when Jesus Christ will reign as king, and the kingdom of God will be established on Earth.  There will be a one-world government under the leadership of Jesus with nation-states subject to Him.  The Bible says representatives of the nations of the Earth will come to Jerusalem each year (Is.2:2-4; Zech. 14:16),
