| The millennium is the thousand-year reign of
Christ with His saints in heaven between the first and second resurrections. During this
time the wicked dead will be judged; the earth will be utterly desolate, without living
human inhabitants, but occupied by Satan and his angels. At its close Christ with His
saints and the Holy City will descend from heaven to earth. The unrighteous dead will then
be resurrected, and with Satan and his angels will surround the city; but fire from God
will consume them and cleanse the earth. The universe will thus be freed of sin and
sinners forever. |
Rev. 20.
