The Millennium: The 1000 Year Reign of The Messiah – What Will It Be Like?
This Teaching examines the Millennium as a literal thousand-year reign of Yeshua following His return and the first resurrection. It begins with the severity of the tribulation to establish the condition of the earth and the question of who survives to enter the reign. It then distinguishes between the resurrected faithful, who reign with Messiah, and mortal survivors and descendants who continue life among the nations. The study gathers prophetic descriptions of long life, restored creation, secure dwellings, healing, abundant provision, direct instruction from YHWH, peace among nations, worship in Jerusalem, and priestly/judicial service by the saints. A major interpretive question is the relationship between Isaiah 65 and Revelation 21. The Teaching proposes that the renewed-earth conditions described by Isaiah may begin during the Millennium, while repeatedly acknowledging that the exact chronology is an area for continued study rather than a point on which to be dogmatic.
