During the past few
months, our headlines have been filled with the word " millennium". It has
caused many Christians to turn their attention to prophecy. Repeatedly, I have been asked,
" what is meant by the millennial reign of Christ?"
The millennial reign of
Christ will be the time when God will set up his divine government to rule on earth for
thousand years - until all rebellion on earth has been conquered. He will sit upon his
throne until all have submitted. Scripture declares,
"The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy foot stool." (Psalm
110:1) And in the New Testament, we read what will happen before the end of this
millennial period: "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father: when he shall have put down all Rule and all authority and power.
For he must Reign, till hath put all enemies under his feet." ( 1corinthians 15:
24-25)
This one thousand
year reign of Christ will be the last age before the eternal perfect state, when God will
again be all in all,as before Lucifer fell and rebellion started in the universe.
Here are eight marvelous things that will
happen during the millennial reign of Christ.
1. It will be a time of great spiritual blessing.
God's presence is
going to touch as never before! The word declares, " until the spirit be poured upon
us from high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted
for a forest ....... And the work of righteousness shall be peace.......And my people
shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting
place......" (Isaiah 32: 15-18)
2. It will be a time of great universal knowledge.
During Christ's
reign every human being will know God, will see His Glory and learn of Him. Scripture
says,"For the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the glory of the LORD. as the
waters cover the sea". (Habakkuk 2: 14)
3. It will be a time of great harmony and peace.
Here is what God
revealed through the prophet Isaiah concerning Judah and Jerusalem: "And it shall
come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established
in the top of the mountains.......and all nations shall flow unto it...... and they shall
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neither shall they war any more." (Isaiah 2: 2-4)
4. It will be a time of great glory.
The power and glory
of God will be manifested in a way unseen since Adam walked the earth. "And the LORD
will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and
smoke by day, and a shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a
defense. And there
shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from heat,and for a place of refuge, and
for a covert from storm and from rain." (Isaiah 4: 5-6)
5.It will be a time of great holiness.
During this millennium there will be purity,
cleanliness and holiness. " In that day shall be a branch of the LORD be beautiful
and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are
escaped of Israel. And It shall come to pass that ......he that remaineth in Jerusalem,
shall be called holy ( Isaiah 4: 2-4)
6.It will be a time of great healing
Bondage will be loosed and lives will be
restored. To the captives, God declares, " Thy tackings are loosed ....... And the
inhabitant shall not say I am sick ..... " (Isaiah 33: 23- 24 ) Everywhere people
will be totally healed.
" Then the eyes
of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then
shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing......"(Isaiah
35-6)
7. It will be a time of
great deliverance
Where demons had once
ruled,. there is now glorious victory. "......for in the wilderness shall
waters break out and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a
pool, and the thirsty land springs of water in the habitation of dragons, where each lay,
shall be grass with reeds and rushes." (Isaiah 35:6-7)
8. It will be a time of great
prosperity
Every person will
experience God's abundance. "And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and
they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them .......They shall not labour in
vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and
their offspring with them." (Isaiah 65:21-23)
What an incredible era this
will be! In addition, during the millennial reign of Christ we will have a new body
(1 Corinthians 15:52), God will prolong life (Isaiah 65:20), there will be no night
(Isaiah 30:26), the nature of animals will change (Isaiah 11:6), destroyed cities will be
rebuilt (Isaiah 61:4-6), God will rearrange the land around Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:9-11),
King David will rule from Jerusalem again (Ezekeil 34:24; Hosea 3:4-5), the saints will
rule under Christ (Psalm 149:5-9), and Jesus will rule the earth in righteousness (Isaiah
11:1-5, 40:10-11).
What happens at the end of
the millennial reign of Christ? Satan will be loosed from his prison for a short
period, then finally thrown into the lake of fire forever (Rev 20:7-15, 21:1-7).
Jesus is coming soon!
Will you allow the presence of the Lord to transform you and prepare you for that day?
Please read the Scripture
references in context. I am praying that the prophetic word of God will come alive
in your life.
