551 – Will There Be a Millennium and What Will It Be Like?

551. Will There Be a Millennium and What Will It Be Like?

There are some Christians who do not look for a personal reign of Christ on the earth. Those who do so, base their belief chiefly on such passages as Rev_20:4-6 : "They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Isa_2:3, which describes the extent of Christ's dominion. Isa_11:1-16; Isa_10:1-34; Isa_9:1-21, which describes the change of disposition in the animal creation. Zec_14:16-21, which predicts the supremacy and purity of his reign and Heb_8:10-11, promising the universal acceptance of Christianity. Besides these, there are the promises to Abraham of the possession by his descendants of an area they have never yet possessed, and those that Christ would occupy the throne of David. The Scriptures do not give clear or definite accounts of the conditions of life in the millennium,, but we infer that it will be a time of extraordinary conversion, and that great multitudes will be born again in a day. (See Mic_4:2; Isa_2:2-4.) See Rev_20:4-5. The apostle appears to teach (1Co_15:35-52) that a new spiritual body will be given in place of the one that has turned to dust.
