In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria-a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, ‘Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.’” Micah 4:4 says, “But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid.” Can you image not being afraid? Not having to lock your doors?Ĭonsider these words from Isaiah 19:23-25: “In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians. War has always been part of our conversation, but there will be no war when we get to the Millennium.
There would be a siren, and it would help prepare people for the on-going conflict at that time. Growing up in Toledo, Ohio, during the end of World War II, we had blackouts. War has been a consistent part of human history from the very beginning. Will There Be Conflict in the Millennium? Jesus will reward us with responsibilities based on our faithfulness to Him. It is like the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30. In the Scripture, there seems to be a relationship between one’s faithfulness here in this time and what administration they are going to be given in that time. What will we do in Christ’s government? I don’t know. We will stay on earth with Him, and we will rule and reign with Him throughout the whole world. “And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years” (Revelation 20:4).
After the battle is over, the Bible says that all Christians are going to be part of the government. When Christ returns to defeat the armies of the world that have formed against Him, we will return with Him. Once the Tribulation is over, Christ will return to earth. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb and Judgment Seat of Christ will take place during this time. We will remain there for about seven years while the Tribulation is happening on earth. Will Believers Today Be on Earth for the Millennium?Īt the moment of the Rapture, every believer who is alive or deceased will be taken up into heaven. When you start to search for it, there is something about that period everywhere you look in the Bible.
Many of these references are tucked away in the Old Testament where you wouldn’t expect. Dwight Pentecost stated there is more information in the Bible about the Millennium than any other period in Scripture. There will still be sin in the Millennium, but it will be dealt with immediately.īy studying the Millennium, we discover that lifetimes will be extended, there will be peace in the animal kingdom-the lion will lay down with the lamb, and there will be peace among mankind-all the hostilities that have been a part of our world will be gone. They will rule the world in righteousness and godliness. David will be His vice president and will sit on the throne with Him. The Millennium will be Christ’s one-thousand-year reign as King, following the Tribulation. The word mille means “a thousand” so the millennium is “a thousand years.” That term is mentioned six times in Revelation 20.
