Friday - Revelation 20 - The Last 1000 Years

 

A

FTER the Armageddon is over there will be a time of judgment which we should refer to as the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46). The armies of the antichrist will be dead. The antichrist & the false prophet will be in the lake of fire. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years in a place called the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3). The earth will be ruled by Jesus (in person, along with His saints – 1st Corinthians 6:2 & Revelation 20:4). The survivors of the Tribulation will be separated according to how they treated Israel during the time of the antichrist. Those who have shown themselves to be humble sheep will live into the kingdom & will naturally repopulate the earth (Psalm 72).

 

The 1st days of this Millennial Kingdom will have to include the construction of the kingdom temple according to the dimensions & description found in Ezekiel 40-48. Also, the curse will be removed from this earth (Isaiah 11:1-10). Things will not be entirely the same as they were in the Garden of Eden before The Fall, but neither will it be anything like life between The Fall & Armageddon. There will be true peace on earth. Jesus will be the King of the world & we will be with Him on the earth for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:6).

 

There will be many people born during the Kingdom Age. Many of them will willingly worship Christ, but some will only comply outwardly. After 1,000 years of heaven on earth, Satan will be released from his prison. He will be unleashed on this planet one last time in order to reveal what is truly in the hearts of many people who will be living on earth at the very end of time (Revelation 20:7).
