The Thousand Year Kingdom is not an allegory. It is
real and comes into being with the Antichrist's failed bid to defend
the earth against the second coming of Jesus. The devil is defeated
once again at the battle of Armageddon and cast into the bottomless
pit for the duration of the millennium. Then Jesus will restore the earth to the way it was
before Adam and Eve sinned and set up His throne in Jerusalem. He
will tear down the Antichrist's temple and build a new one where
people can come and worship. Jesus will fulfill his promise to
Abraham and seek out the surviving members of the twelve tribes of
Israel and bring them back to the land of Canaan. Together with the
resurrected believers in Christ, we will reign with Jesus over the
different nations of the earth. Just like the Garden of Eden, the millennium will be
a time where there is no sin, sorrow, fear, sickness or war. On the
contrary, you will only experience love, peace and tranquility as
Jesus reigns over the earth. The millennium is not a fantasy or an
allegory but will be a wonderful time for believers in Christ. |
