millenial is the highest number in the greek language it is like saying a zillion meaning for ever. Mathew 28:20after Jesus rose from the dead his never ending his millenial reign begain never will he face humilation again .he is reigning in the hearts of his people he reigns over heaven and earth.even the bad that happens to us christians Jesus works it out to our Good.people look around and think there is no God that is in controll or this or that would not take place.They fail to see this is our time of grace . after one dies its to late . Jesus said my kingdom is not of this earth! so there will not be a thousand year reign of Jesus on this earth . Lets investigate and see if the rest of scripture bears this out?Jesus is not going to set up a earthly kingdom There will never be peace on this earthJesus says the world will be like this Mathew 24:6-7Christians will not rule on this earth instead Jesus said we will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death Mathew 24:9Instead of mass conversions that some say will happen . Jesus says this will happen.Mathew 24:11,12st paul knew there was not going to be a earthly reign of Christ instead he warned us of this 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3Peter also knew there was never going to be a earthly reign of Christ on this earth. and wrote this crushing blow to those who think other wise proving it. 2 Peter 3:13
What are you talking about did you forget the End of the story? a Millennium is a thousand yearsRevelation 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." We saw that those who took part in the first resurrection were those who died in the Lord, and those who did not yield to Satan, the Antichrist during his "one world" reign. Those who did not take the Antichrist's "mark of the beast", these are the blessed and holy ones. All of these people already will possess an immortal soul during the Millennium.The "second death" is the second time of testing at the end of the Millennium(1000years) age after Satan is released for a short season. The saints of Christ, and overcomers of the Antichrist's reign in this earth age of the flesh will not go through the second testing, or resurrection, with those mortal souls living in the Millennium age.What are you going to do in the Millennium as a saint of Christ? You're going to be priests of God, and reign with Him. You are going to teach and oversee, and judge those mortal souls, as they will learn and follow all directives of our Lord Jesus Christ.Revelation 20:7 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison." When everyone has been taught that are in their mortal (liable to die) soul bodies, then Satan will be loosed. Those teachings were given under perfect conditions, and all will have bodies with no ailments, perfect thought, and no temptations by Satan. In fact, all will even know he was the deceiver of this earth age. Their understanding will be perfect.Then Satan is released.Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." At the close of chapter 20, the fire of hell that consume Satan and all his followers, will not exist. They will never again return in any form, and in their place will be a rejuvenated earth. Will this place be on some far off planet? No, but right here on earth. It will be perfect.We see in II Peter 3:10,11 that the existence of this present earth age will be changed with the all physical elements (evil rudiments) done away with, at the "day of our Lord". Then in II Peter 3:12, at the end of the Millennium age, the evil souls are turned to ashes. This is called the "day of God".II Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." This new heaven and new earth is a promise given by God to the earliest prophets, and we have seen throughout the Holy Scriptures that God does keep all his promises.
