I. The expulsion of Satan

(Rev 20:1) And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the

bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

(Rev 20:2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

(Rev 20:3) 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.

II. The explanation of Millennial

A. The length of this reign

NOTES

This passage makes several things very clear. 1. Satan will be bound and unable to

influence mankind.2. The duration of this kingdom will

be one millennium, by telling us not just once but six times that it will last one thousand years.

3. Satan will be released for a brief period after the one thousand years.

Don’t confuse the eternal kingdom which will follow this one thousand year kingdom, in Revelation chapters 21 and 22

B. Animals Become

Peaceful

C. Life Spans Increased and

procreation will continue

(Isa 65:20-25) There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses,

and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my

people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor

bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not

hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

(Eze 37:25) And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein,

even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my

servant David shall be their prince for ever.

(Eze 37:26) Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and

I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst

of them for evermore.

D. An End to Wars

(Mic 4:3) And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations

afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their

spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war any more.

(Isa 2:4) And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people:

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into

pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they

learn war any more.

E. Geographical Changes in

Israel

(Zec 14:4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,

which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a

very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the

north, and half of it toward the south.

(Zec 14:8) And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the

former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter

shall it be.

(Zec 13:1) In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for

sin and for uncleanness.

(Eze 47:8-12) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which

moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish,

because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river

cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. But the miry places

thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither

shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their

waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for

medicine.

F. The Feast of

Tabernacles

(Zec 14:16-19) And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even

go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them

shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no

rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come

not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and

the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

(Zec 14:16-19) And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even

go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them

shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no

rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come

not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and

the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

III. The executive Judges

(Rev 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I

saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and

which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and

reigned with Christ a thousand years.

(Rev 20:5) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the

first resurrection.

(Rev 20:6) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death

hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand

years.

A. The main throne

(Luk 1:32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the

Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his

father David:

(Mat 19:28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That

ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of

man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon

twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

B. The Side thrones

OLD TESTAMENT

SAINTS

(Dan 7:27) And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the

kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions

shall serve and obey him.

(Zec 8:23) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to

pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for

we have heard that God is with you.

(Heb 11:34-37) Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of

weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead

raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they

were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about

in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens

and caves of the earth.

THE TWELVE

(Mat 19:28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto

you, That ye which have followed me, in the

regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes

of Israel.

The Body

t

(1Co 6:2-3) Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye

unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall

judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

(Rev 5:10) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall

reign on the earth.

(Luk 19:17) And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou

authority over ten cities.

(Rom 8:17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and

joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that

we may be also glorified together.

(2Ti 2:12) If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

THE TRIBULATION

SAINTS

(Rev 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I

saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and

which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and

reigned with Christ a thousand years.

(Rev 20:5) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the

first resurrection.

(Rev 20:6) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death

hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand

years.
