Now these Wednesday evenings we have been talking
on prophecy.
Each Wednesday night I've been bringing a special
message on prophecy, and tonight we have another
message along the same line.
I'm speaking tonight on the reign of Christ
on earth, or the wonders of the millennium.
And I know of no subject that I
love to deal with more than the subject
of the millennial reign of Christ.
I know that we're getting near that reign.
I realize it will not be very long
until we'll be in the midst of the
millennium.
At least those who are still upon the
earth will be in the midst of the
millennium.
And I'm looking forward to that wonderful reign
of Christ upon earth.
Whether I'll be in heaven or whether I'll
be upon earth doesn't make very much difference.
Those who are going to be upon earth
are going to be thrilled beyond words as
they live during the days of the millennial
reign of Christ.
And so the subject tonight is the reign
of Christ on earth, or the wonders of
the millennium.
Now there's just one verse in the Revelation
that I want to turn to as a
basis upon which to speak this evening.
In the 11th chapter of the book of
Revelation, the 11th chapter and the 15th verse,
the last part of the verse, these words,
I think, portray better than any other verse
in the Bible the millennial reign of Christ.
This is the way it reads.
The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he shall reign forever and ever.
Let me read that verse again.
The last part of the 15th verse of
the 11th chapter of Revelation, the kingdoms of
this world, think of it, are become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ,
and he shall reign forever and ever.
Now there are 13 characteristics of the millennial
reign of Christ portrayed in the Bible.
All I'm going to have time to do
tonight will be to mention each one of
them, read the verse in the Bible about
that one characteristic and say a word or
two concerning it.
Then we'll have to pass on, because there
are 13 of them to deal with.
And first of all, Satan is going to
be bound.
Now the only verse I'm going to read
at length tonight is the 20th chapter of
Revelation, the first three verses.
Revelation chapter 20, verses 1 to 3, inclusive.
Listen, if you will, to this very important
statement regarding the binding of Satan.
And I saw an angel come down from
heaven, an angel come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomless pit and a
great chain in his hand, and he laid
hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which
is the devil, and Satan, and bound him
a thousand years.
What a day that'll be, when Satan at
last will have been bound, and bound for
a thousand years.
He's not bound now, but he will be
bound then.
Verse 3, And cast him into the bottomless
pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should
be fulfilled.
And after that he must be loosed a
little season.
The binding of Satan, the first characteristic of
the millennial reign of Christ upon earth is
the binding of Satan.
And for one thousand years, Satan is going
to be bound, and will never again be
able to go out and deceive the nations
of the world or tempt the people of
God.
So the first characteristic of the millennium will
be the binding of Satan.
The second characteristic will be justice.
For the first time in the history of
the world, there is going to be justice.
We do not know anything about justice today.
There is injustice everywhere and on every side.
But during the millennial reign of Christ, for
a thousand years, there is going to be
justice throughout the length and breadth of the
world.
Jeremiah, the twenty-third chapter and the fifth
verse, reads like this, A king shall reign
and prosper, and shall execute justice on the
earth.
That's the best verse I was able to
find in the Bible regarding the justice that
will characterize the reign of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
A king shall reign and prosper.
That king will be the Lord Jesus himself,
and shall execute justice on the earth.
And we are never going to have justice
in this world until Jesus Christ takes over
the reign of government and rules the millennial
splendor, power, and glory as he will for
a thousand years.
Then we are going to know something about
justice throughout the length and breadth of the
entire world.
In the third place, we are going to
have a fruitful earth.
For the first time in the history of
the world, since the days of the Garden
of Eden, before man was driven out of
the Garden, the world is going to be
fruitful.
This earth is going to be fruitful.
Isaiah, the thirty-fifth chapter, the first two
verses, The desert shall blossom as the rose.
That's one statement that describes in a few
words the fruitful earth that we're going to
have during the reign of the Lord Jesus.
The desert shall blossom as the rose.
What a change that will be when the
great deserts of the world will become fruitful
and will blossom as the rose.
And then Psalm 67, verse 6, Then shall
the earth yield her increase.
The earth has never yielded its increase yet.
Since the days of the Garden of Eden,
there have been weeds, there has been everything
possible to make it impossible for the world
to yield its increase.
But in this day, during the millennial reign
of Christ, the earth is going to yield
her increase, and there will be an abundance
of everything throughout the length and breadth of
the entire world.
There'll be no shortage of food anywhere in
the world.
There'll be plenty in India for those who
live there to eat.
Today, in parts of India, they're facing starvation.
In that day, there will be no starvation
in India or in any other part of
the entire world.
The whole of the world will have an
abundance to eat, for the earth is going
to be fruitful during the reign of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
In the fourth place, animal instincts are going
to be changed.
I find this in Isaiah, the 11th chapter,
verses 6 and 7.
I'm going to take time to read both
these verses because they're of tremendous importance.
It's almost unbelievable to think that the instincts
of animals, wild animals, will be changed, and
yet the Bible says so again and again
and again.
And here it is stated in no unmistakable
terms that the wild animals of the world
are going to have their very instincts so
changed that the millennial reign of Christ will
see nothing of the wild animal life that
we see today.
Listen as I read.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb.
Now the only time the wolf ever dwells
with the lamb today is when the lamb
is on the inside of the wolf.
Otherwise, he doesn't dwell with the lamb.
But in that day, the millennial reign of
Christ, the wolf is going to dwell with
the lamb.
Listen.
And the leopard shall lie down with the
kid.
And I say again, the only time today
a leopard and a kid ever lie down
together is when the kid is inside the
leopard.
Otherwise, there's no fellowship.
But in that day, the leopard shall lie
down with the kid, and the calf and
the young lion together and the little child
shall lead them.
Think of a little child.
I'm afraid of the wild animals of the
days of the millennium, able to mingle with
them and never be hurt, never be harmed
in any way, shape, or form.
The calf and the young lion together and
the little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed.
And the young ones shall lie down together,
and listen last of all, and the lion
shall eat straw like the ox.
Now, I know it's almost unthinkable to even
think of the possibility of the instincts and
the appetites of the lion being so changed
that it will be willing to eat straw
or eat hay like the ox.
But that's what God's Word says.
There'll be such a tremendous change.
There'll be no wild animals anymore.
They'll all be tame, and they'll all live
together, eat together, sleep together, and they'll be
so tame that a little child will be
able to walk in their midst absolutely unafraid
and be able to lead them and never
be harmed in any way, shape, or form.
Animal instincts are going to be changed during
the millennium.
And then the Bible makes it perfectly clear
that during the millennial reign of Christ, there's
going to be perfect safety everywhere on the
face of this earth of ours.
There will be no place where there will
be danger.
There will be safety everywhere.
In the great cities of our land, there
will be safety.
There'll be no crime of any kind.
Men and women will be able to go
about their work and go about their business
absolutely unafraid.
In Ezekiel, the thirty-first chapter, the twenty
-fifth verse, we have these words, They shall
dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in
the woods.
Now, you couldn't imagine people sleeping in the
woods today or dwelling in safety in the
wilderness, but in that day, they'll dwell safely
in the wilderness, they'll sleep in the woods.
There'll be perfect safety everywhere throughout the length
and breadth of the world.
Then I think this next characteristic is amazing.
Long life.
Once again, we'll experience long life.
You remember the days of old when the
patriarchs lived.
Some of them lived to be five hundred
years of age.
Some lived to be seven hundred years of
age.
Some lived to be nine hundred years of
age and over nine hundred years of age.
And one lived to be nearly one thousand
years of age.
Now, life is going to be prolonged once
again, as in the days of the patriarchs.
Long life.
Isaiah, the sixty-fifth chapter, and the twentieth
verse, There shall be no more tents and
infants of days, nor an old man that
hath not filled his days, for the child
shall die an hundred years old.
And so when a man lives to be
a hundred years of age, and it may
not be very long until some of us
reach that age, if God spares us, I
don't know, but when a man lives to
be a hundred years of age, and if
he dies at the age of a hundred,
people will say, a child has died.
A child has died.
And the death of a man a hundred
years old will be considered the death of
a child, because men will again live as
they lived during the days of the patriarchs
of years past and gone.
They'll live to be old.
The millennium will last for a thousand years,
and there will be many who will live
during the entire course of the millennial reign
of Christ upon earth.
Life is going to be prolonged.
Then the Bible says there'll be no more
war.
Now we've been trying to get rid of
war for centuries.
We've been having peace conferences one after the
other.
We've had the United Nations, and we have
endeavored to eliminate war.
And yet, almost in every generation, a war
has raged in this world of ours.
They tell us that on an average, about
every thirty-five years, at the very longest,
there has been a war somewhere in the
world.
It has averaged at least thirty-five years,
the days of peace, and then war has
broken out again.
Now, during the millennial reign of Christ, war
will have come to an end.
There'll be no armies.
There'll be no navies.
There'll be no battleships.
There'll be no armament of any kind.
What do we read in Isaiah, the second
chapter, the fourth verse?
Listen, they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks.
They'll throw away their swords, they'll throw away
their spears, the instruments of war, or they'll
beat them into plowshares and pruning hooks.
Nations shall not lift up sword against nation.
No nation will ever lift up sword against
another nation.
During the reign of Christ, neither shall they
learn war anymore.
And you know, it's a strange thing that
the colored people of years gone by during
the days of slavery used to sing about
the day when they would learn war no
more, ain't going to study war anymore.
And they loved to sing about it.
They loved to think about it, about the
day when war would be eliminated, and when
there would never be a war anywhere on
the face of the earth.
Well, this is not a dream, this is
not a vision, this is something that's going
to come to pass.
This is something that God's word declares will
take place.
For a thousand years, there will never be
a war of any kind.
Not a single battle will be fought anywhere
on the face of the earth.
Nations shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
And during the millennial reign of Christ, we'll
have peace, the peace that we have tried
to get for centuries, at last we'll get
it during the reign of the Lord Jesus
Christ upon this earth.
They'll learn war no more, there'll be no
more battles, no more need for warships or
battleships of any kind, or instruments of war,
or soldiers, or armies, that'll all be a
thing of the past.
And in that day, people will look back
upon these days, and they'll wonder how we
ever lived in the midst of war and
bloodshed, for they'll be living in days of
peace, when no nation will lift up sword
against any other nation, and they'll learn war
no more.
Then in the next place, the eighth place,
a world evangelized.
We've been trying to evangelize this world of
ours for a number of years now, but
there are still more heathen in the world
than there are Christians.
We have not yet succeeded in evangelizing the
world, but there is going to come a
day when the entire world will be evangelized.
In Habakkuk, the second chapter of the fourteenth
verse, we have this amazing statement, The earth
shall be filled with the glory, with the
knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as
the waters cover the sea.
The earth shall be filled with the knowledge
of the glory of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea.
In other words, you'll not find a tribe,
you'll not find a nation, anywhere on the
face of the earth where God is unknown.
Every tribe will know him, every nation will
know him, every country will know about God.
The whole world will have been evangelized.
We'll never again have to send out missionaries
to any country in the world.
Missionary work will have come to an end,
because God will be known in every part
of the world, wherever man is found.
The entire world will have been evangelized during
the millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the world evangelized.
Then in the ninth place, Israel will be
restored.
Let me read this verse in Ezekiel, the
thirty-sixth chapter, the twenty-fourth verse.
I will take you from among the heathen.
Perhaps we should read it like this.
I will take you from among the Gentiles.
I will take you from among the heathen
or from among the Gentiles and gather you
out of all the countries, all the countries.
How did Ezekiel know when he wrote these
words that the Jews were going to be
scattered throughout the world in all the countries?
They hadn't been scattered when Ezekiel wrote these
words.
Israel was a nation in its own country,
in its own land, except for those who
were taken to Babylon for a little while.
Then they were restored.
But now, according to Ezekiel, they are to
be taken out of all countries, gathered out
of all nations.
And God says, I will take you from
among the heathen or the Gentiles and gather
you out of all the countries and will
bring you into your own land, bring you
back to the land of Palestine, your own
land.
Now I don't know.
I don't know what the Arabs think today.
I know there are many of them in
Palestine, and I know they claim Palestine as
their country because they've lived there so long.
But God gave Palestine to Israel.
Palestine was given to the Jews.
It was to be their homeland, their national
homeland.
And God led them out of Egypt, and
God guided them through the wilderness, and God
brought them into the Promised Land, and God
settled them in that land.
And there they lived for centuries.
That was their land.
That was their country.
Palestine belonged to Israel.
Palestine belonged to the Jews.
That has never changed.
There's never been any change of any kind,
whatever.
Palestine still belongs to the Jews.
Palestine still belongs to Israel, even though other
nations have gotten in and have taken over
some of the territory.
Now, of course, you and I live to
see a great part of Palestine occupied by
the Jews during the Great War, the War
of 48.
You remember the Jews came into Palestine, occupied
the country, and then you remember the six
-year, the War of Six Years Ago, when
the Jews, when Israel possessed all that country
in the very center of Palestine, the very
heart of Palestine, and all of the city
of Jerusalem, and they occupy it today.
And whether they'll be driven out again or
not, no man knows.
But if they have been driven out for
the last time, then they're going to occupy
it still, and they'll take more and more
of it until at last God will give
them the entire country and they'll have all
the land of Palestine.
Now, it doesn't matter whether we like them
or whether we don't like them.
It doesn't make any difference.
The question is, what does God say about
it?
God has promised them the whole of the
land of Palestine, their own homeland, and one
of these days, they're going to be restored
to Palestine.
The Jews will be back there again, even
though three million of them live today in
Russia.
They'll get back to Palestine one of these
days.
And even though millions of them live in
the United States of America, they too will
get back to Palestine one of these days.
And the day will come when the entire
country that was ceded to the Jews will
be their country again, their dominion, their homeland,
and they'll occupy it from one end to
the other, from center to circumference, according to
the word of God.
Now, you and I have lived to see
part of this prophecy fulfilled right before our
eyes.
There was a day when there were only
10,000 Jews in the whole of Palestine.
All the rest have been driven out, and
they were scattered among the nations of the
world.
And every nation had some of them.
I doubt today if you can go to
any nation on the face of this earth
without finding Jews in that nation.
Now, that hasn't been true of any other
nation.
The Arabs have not been scattered among the
nations of the world.
The only nation that ever has been scattered
among all the nations of the world has
been Israel.
The Canadians have not been scattered.
The Britishers have not been scattered.
The Americans haven't been scattered like this.
But the Jews, Israel has been scattered among
all the nations of the world.
And in every nation on the face of
this earth, you'll find Jews today.
And God is going to gather them out
of those nations, bring them back to their
own homeland, the land of Palestine.
We're seeing it come to pass right before
our eyes.
I used to preach this before 1948.
I used to preach this in the days
when Palestine was dominated by other nations.
I can remember the day when different nations
had portions of Palestine, and when one nation
dominated the whole of Palestine.
And we never dreamed in those days that
in our day, in our lifetime, those nations
would be driven out, the Jews would be
returned to their homeland.
And yet it happened.
And in 1948, it was ceded to the
Jews.
They've been there ever since, and they're going
to be there in increasing numbers until finally
the entire homeland of Palestine will be theirs
once more.
And then the tenth place, Jerusalem, will become
the center of worship.
Not New York, not London, not Toronto, not
Chicago, only one city, the city of Jerusalem.
That's the only city that will ever become
the center of worldwide worship.
No other city ever will.
No other city ever has been the center
of worldwide worship.
But in this day, for a thousand years,
one city, the city of Jerusalem, will become
the center of worship throughout the length and
breadth of the world.
Listen, if you will, to Micah, the fourth
chapter, and the second verse.
The law shall go forth of Zion, and
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Again and again, it's stated in God's word
that Jerusalem is to become the center of
religious life throughout the entire world.
And the Jews, having been established in Palestine
with Jerusalem as the capital city, as the
center, they will look upon their city as
the center of worship for the entire world.
And that's going to come to pass.
Now that means that Jerusalem can never be
destroyed.
There's no possibility of destroying Jerusalem.
I haven't the slightest fear of the destruction
of Jerusalem.
I don't care how many wars are fought
in Palestine, Jerusalem will never be completely destroyed.
For this city is to become the center
of worship during the millennial reign of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Then in the 11th place, Jesus Christ, enthroned
as king.
In that day, for one thousand years, this
world will be ruled and governed by the
Lord Jesus Christ himself.
Here's the statement in Zechariah, the 14th chapter
and the 9th verse.
The Lord shall be king over all the
earth.
And this entire chapter has to do with
Jerusalem as the center of worship, with the
Lord Jesus Christ reigning there as Lord of
lords and as king of kings.
And then the 12th place, reigning saints.
The saints are going to have a share
in the reign of the Lord Jesus Christ
in this world for a thousand years.
Daniel, the 7th chapter, the 18th verse.
The saints of the Most High shall take
the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever.
Let me read that verse again.
The saints of the Most High shall take
the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever.
Now, the saints do not consist only of
the church.
Bear in mind, if you will, that we
are not the only saints on the face
of the earth.
We're not going to be the only saints
in this world.
There are going to be other saints besides
us.
The church will be caught away.
The church will be raptured.
But there will be other saints in this
world.
And these other saints will occupy this world
of ours for a thousand years.
And God's word states that the saints of
the Most High shall take the kingdom and
possess the kingdom forever.
Then in Revelation, the 20th chapter, the 4th
verse, you have this amazing statement.
They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
Speaking of the saints, they lived.
In other words, they lived again.
They were resurrected.
They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
Now, I can't explain it all.
I don't know how it's all going to
happen.
I can't tell you how it's all going
to take place.
But I do know that it is going
to take place.
The saints are going to reign with Christ
for a thousand years.
They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
And that's going to take place during the
millennial reign of Christ here upon this earth.
So we're not through with this world yet.
The end of this age may be very
near at hand.
And it may not be long now until
the age ends.
Some of us may be living to see
the end of this age.
That's quite possible.
This age could end in our lifetime.
That's very, very certain from the Word of
God.
It may not end in our lifetime, but
it could.
And in our own lifetime, we could see
the end of the age in which we
now live.
But there's going to be another age, the
millennial reign of Christ.
So this old world is going on and
on and on for another thousand years after
this age ends.
And the saints of God are going to
reign with the Lord Jesus Christ during the
millennial kingdom for one thousand years.
And the saints of God are going to
reign with the Lord Jesus Christ during the
millennial kingdom for one thousand years.
And then last of all, universal joy and
gladness.
Universal joy and gladness.
Think of it, if you will.
We haven't very much joy in this world
today.
There's not very much gladness on the face
of this earth, at least not among the
people of the world.
There's so many things happening in the world
to make people miserable today.
There's so much danger on every side that
there isn't the joy and the gladness that
there ought to be everywhere in the world
among the peoples who occupy this earth of
ours.
But there's going to come a day when
Jesus Christ rules and reigns, when there will
be joy, there will be gladness throughout the
entire world, because there'll be nothing to make
men miserable.
And therefore, there'll be happiness instead of sadness,
instead of misery.
What does it say in Isaiah, the 35th
chapter and the 10th verse?
The ransom of the Lord shall come to
Zion with songs and everlasting joy.
The ransom of the Lord shall come to
Zion with songs and everlasting joy.
That's in the 35th chapter of Isaiah.
And you should read that entire chapter, because
the whole chapter tells about the millennial reign
of Christ.
Now, none of this has been fulfilled in
our day and generation, and none of it
will be fulfilled in our day and generation.
None of it ever has been fulfilled in
the past.
I know there are those who interpret the
Bible in a historical way.
There are those who think that all these
prophecies have already been fulfilled.
They've already taken place.
If there is one book in the Bible
that I have studied, and studied carefully, and
studied for long hours, it is the book
of Revelation.
Ever since I was some 30 years of
age, I have pored over the book of
Revelation.
I have read every book I could lay
my hands on that has been written about
Revelation.
I have a library with a great pile
of books dealing with the book of Revelation.
I've gone through all those books.
I've studied them from beginning to end.
I've tried to master and understand something of
the book of Revelation.
It's a difficult book.
It's a hard book to understand.
It's not an easy book to interpret.
And yet, as I go through Revelation, I
realize that there is a future for the
people of God, for the saints in the
Most High.
There is a future for them the like
of which we have never dreamed.
There's been nothing like it in our day
and generation.
There's been nothing like it in the 6
,000 years of man's life upon Earth.
But there's going to come a day when
Jesus Christ will take over the reins of
government and rule in millennial splendor, power, and
glory for 1,000 years.
And in that day, these 13 characteristics that
I've enumerated tonight will all become realities.
First of all, Satan will be bound.
Thank God for that day when Satan will
be bound.
He's not bound now.
He's not bound tonight.
But he's going to be bound for 1
,000 years.
Second, there's going to be justice throughout the
length and breadth of the world.
Third, we're going to have a fruitful Earth
at last.
No weeds of any kind.
We're going to have a superabundance of everything.
Fourth, animal instincts are going to be changed.
How?
I don't know.
It's going to take a miracle.
What is going to happen?
And fifth, there'll be perfect safety throughout the
length and breadth of the entire Earth.
Wherever we may go.
And then long life is going to become
a reality again.
And people are going to live to a
great age during the days of the millennial
reign of Christ.
And then there'll be no more war.
And I think of all the characteristics that
perhaps is the most appealing.
A world without war.
No more war.
And then a world evangelized.
At last, the world will be evangelized.
It may not take place in our day
and generation.
But it's going to take place in the
new age.
The millennial reign of Christ.
The whole world at the very beginning of
the age will be evangelized.
And men will know God as they do
not know him today.
And so all of Earth will recognize Jesus
Christ as Lord of Lords and King of
Kings.
Then I think this statement, Israel will be
restored, ought to appeal to the heart of
every Christian.
And certainly to the Jewish nation.
For Israel will be restored.
That promise is unmistakable right through the word
of God from beginning to end.
It is stated that the Jews will return
to their own homeland and be restored.
And then Jesus Christ will be enthroned as
Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
And Jerusalem will become the center of worship.
The saints will be reigning for a thousand
years in millennial splendor with Jesus Christ.
A thousand-year reign.
And then there's going to be universal joy
and universal gladness throughout the entire world.
There'll be no more misery.
No more sorrow.
No more disappointment.
No more heartache.
No more tears.
No more grief.
Not in that day.
That's going to be a glad day.
It's going to be a glorious day.
It's going to be a wonderful day.
The day when Jesus Christ takes over the
reins of government and rules for a thousand
years in millennial splendor, power, and glory in
this world of ours.
So the future is bright.
The future is bright with promise.
Oh, so bright with promise.
Whenever I feel downhearted, whenever I feel sad,
whenever I feel discouraged, I think about the
next age.
I think about the reign of Christ.
I think about the thousand-year millennium.
I think about the day when Jesus Christ
takes over the reins of government.
I know there's a better day coming.
There's a better day coming in the future.
This is not Earth's best day.
This is a day of sorrow and joy
intermingled.
That'll be a day of joy without sorrow
when Jesus Christ reigns as he will for
one thousand years.
But the question arises, are you going to
share with him?
I don't know how.
I don't know whether it'll be over the
Earth or on the Earth.
I can't tell you.
I can't give you the details.
But I do know that Jesus says, if
we suffer with him, we shall also reign
with him.
Now, I don't know what that means unless
it means that if in this, his day
of opposition, in this, his day of rejection,
if you and I suffer with him now,
if we go without the camp bearing his
reproach, if instead of identifying ourselves with the
masses, those who are against him, if we
associate with the minority, those who are for
him, if we suffer with him now, we'll
reign with him then.
Now, what that involves I can't explain.
I don't know.
It's not stated.
But it does state in unmistakable terms that
if God's people who are living in this
day when he is being rejected, if now,
in the day of rejection and humiliation, we
are willing to bear his reproach, turn away
from the world, suffer with him, Now, we'll
reign with him then.
How, I do not know.
But God's word states in unmistakable terms that
to suffer is to reign.
And that those who suffer will reign.
And for a thousand years, somehow, someway, we'll
reign with the Lord Jesus Christ over this
world.
And we'll see a millennium, a time of
peace, a time of tranquility, a time of
great victory, a time when sin will be
eliminated and righteousness will flourish everywhere throughout the
length and breadth of the world for one
thousand years.
The reign of Jesus Christ on this earth,
the millennium that we read so much about
in the Bible, God grant that we may
be willing to suffer with him now, that
we may reign with him then.
Shall we bow together in prayer?
