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.

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.

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),
