by David Jeremiah

(Isa. 9:7)

(Isa. 60:21)

(Luke 1:32–33).

When He comes the second time, He will come to rule this world in righteousness; and during this period the great predictions of His earthly kingdom will be fulfilled.

2 Samuel 7:16,

Luke 1:32–33:

Matthew 6:10,

Revelation 20:7–9

First, the Millennium will be a time of great peace.

Isaiah 2:4

• “In His days the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace” (Ps. 72:7). • “For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore” (Mic. 4:2–3).

(Ps. 72:7).

(Mic. 4:2–3).

• “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Isa. 11:6–9).

(Isa. 11...

Even wild animals will become dear friends, as it were. Can you imagine such an age in which all the kingdoms of this world—and even the animal kingdoms—will be in perfect peace; when all the resources of the earth will be available for enjoyment; and when all industries will engage in the manufacture of articles of peaceful luxury? Is that really possible? Not here, not now—but when Jesus comes.

The Millennium will also be a time of prosperity. The whole world will be economically healthy, and the land of Israel will flourish beyond anything imaginable.

(Ezek. 34:26–27).

(Ezek. 36:29–30).

(Amos 9:13).

The Millennium will also be a wonderful time of holiness and purity.

(Isa. 11:9).

(Isa. 66:23).

(Zech. 13:2).

Before the Flood of Noah’s day, people lived to incredible ages. According to Genesis 5:27, Methuselah lived to be 969 years old.

Psalm 90:10,

Isaiah 65:20 says, “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed” (NIV).

(Isa. 9:3).

(Isa. 12:3).

(Isa. 14:7).

(Isa. 25:8–9).

The millennial earth will simply be a precursor of the new earth—not as perfect, wonderful, or spectacular as the eternal earth, but a preview of some of its coming features.

He entered the world the first time in swaddling clothes; He will reign the second time in majestic purple. He came the first time as a weary traveler; He will return the second time as the untiring God. Once when He came, He had nowhere to lay His head; When He comes back, He will be revealed as the heir of all things. Once He was rejected by tiny Israel; When He returns, He will be accepted by every single nation. Once He was a lowly Savior, acquainted with grief; Then He will be the mighty God, anointed with the oil of gladness. Once He was smitten with a reed; Then He will rule the nations with a rod of iron. Once wicked soldiers bowed the knee in mockery; Then every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. Once He received a crown of thorns; Then He will receive a crown of gold. Once He delivered up His Spirit in death; Then He will be alive forevermore. Once He was laid in a tomb; Then He will sit on a throne.

(Rev. 19:16). We need to prepare our hearts now by installing Him as King of our lives.

(Phil. 2:10–11).

(Rev. 20:15).

(Heb. 9:27).

In the end times there will actually be two altogether separate judgments occurring at different times and being tried in different courts. The first is called the judgment seat of Christ; the second is the Great White Throne Judgment.

(2 Cor. 5:10).

In this court, believers’ works will be evaluated to determine how lavishly they should be rewarded.

(John 5:28–29).

(Luke 16:19–31). The first resurrection, which Jesus calls the “resurrection of life” (John 5:29), will occur in two stages. The first will be simultaneous with the Rapture, when the saved of the present age are raised to meet Christ along with those who are raptured. The second stage will occur seven years later when the saints martyred during the Tribulation period are resurrected to enter the Millennium. The Old Testament saints will also be raised in this second stage (Dan. 12:1–2; Isa. 26:19).

In Revelation 20, John describes the second resurrection, which Christ calls the “resurrection of condemnation” (John 5:29) because all the dead unbelievers will be raised to face eternal punishment.
