The 14

Fundie

“The

Millennial

Reign of

Christ”

• The subject of the second coming of Christ

includes the rapture of the saints, which is our

blessed hope, followed by the visible return of

Christ with His saints to reign on earth for 1,000

years Matt. 24: 27 & 30; Rev. 1:7, 19:11-14, 20:1-6).

Zech 14: 5, “…you will flee …then the Lord my God

will come, and all the holy ones with Him.”

• Matt. 24: 27 & 30

“For as lightning that comes from the east is

visible even in the west, so will be the

coming of the Son of Man…Then will appear

the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And

then all the peoples of the earth will mourn

when they see the Son of Man coming on

the clouds of heaven, with power and great

glory.”

• Rev. 1:7, “Look, He is coming with the clouds,” and “every

eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him”; and all

peoples on earth “will mourn because of Him.” So shall it

be! Amen.

• 19:11-14, “I (John) saw heaven standing open and there

before me was a white horse, whose Rider is called Faithful

and True. With justice He judges and wages war. His eyes

are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He

has a name written on Him that no one knows but He

Himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His

name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were

following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine

linen, white and clean.”

• Rev. 20: 1-6, “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the

key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the

dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound

him for 1,000 years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and

sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore

until 1,000 years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short

time. I saw the thrones on which were seated those who had been

given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been

beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of

the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and

had not received the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They

came to life and reigned with Christ a 1,000 years. (The rest of the

dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.) This was

the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first

resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will

be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a 1,000

years.

• The millennial reign will bring the salvation of the

nation of Israel:

• Ezek. 37:21-22 “…This is what the Sovereign Lord

says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations

where they have gone. I will gather them from all

around and bring them back to their own land. I

will make them one nation in the land, on the

mountains of Israel. There will be one King over all

of them and they will never again be two nations

or be divided into two kingdoms.”

• Zeph. 3:19-20, “At that time I will deal with all who

oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather

the exiles. I will give them praise and honor in every

land where they have suffered shame. At that time

I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I

will give you honor and praise among all the

peoples of the earth….”

• Rom. 11: 26-27, “…and in this way all Israel will be

saved. As it is written: The deliverer will come from

Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

And this is My covenant with them when I take

away their sins.”

Establishment of universal peace:

Ps. 72:3-8, “May the mountains bring prosperity to the

people, the hills the fruit of righteousness. May He

defend the afflicted among the people and save the

children of the needy; may He crush the oppressor.

May He endure as long as the sun, as long as the

moon, through all generations. May he be like rain

falling on a mown field, like showers watering the

earth. In His days may the righteous flourish and

prosperity abound till the moon is no more. May He

rule from sea to sea and from the River (Euphrates) to

the ends of the earth.”

• Is. 11: 6-9, “And the wolf will live with the lamb, the

leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and

the lion and the yearling together; and a little child

shall lead them. The cow will feed with the bear,

their young will lie down together, and the lion will

eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the

cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand

into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor

destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will

be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the

waters cover the sea.”

• Micah 4: 3-4, “He will judge between many

peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations

far and wide. They will beat their swords into

plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nations will not take up sword against nation, nor

will they train for war anymore. Everyone will sit

under their own vine and under their own fig tree,

and no one will make them afraid for the Lord

Almighty has spoken.”
