The Millennium
Lesson
6
Marking
Code: M
Marking Color: Yellow
Key Text: John 5:28,29
Note: The word
millennium comes from the Latin word mille,
meaning “thousand,” and annus,
meaning “years.” Thus, millennium
is a period of one thousand years. The word millennium
itself does not appear in the Bible, but
Revelation 20 describes a thousand-year time
period that begins when Jesus returns the
second time.
- John 5:28,29. Jesus
says that everyone who is in the
grave will eventually be raised-some
to the resurrection of life and some
to the resurrection of condemnation.
- 1 Thessalonians
4:16,17. Paul describes four
classes of people on the earth
when Jesus comes-the righteous
living, the righteous dead,
the wicked living, and the wicked
dead. The righteous dead will be
raised to life, and the righteous
living will be caught up with them to
meet the Lord in the air.
- 2 Thessalonians
2:8. At Jesus’ coming, the
wicked living will be destroyed by
the brightness of Jesus’ coming.
- Revelation 20:4-6. The
wicked dead will remain unconscious
in their graves when Jesus comes.
Those who are raised in the
‘first resurrection”-the
righteous-are “blessed and
holy.” The “rest of the
dead”-the wicked-are not raised
until the end of the thousand years.
They remain sleeping in their graves.
There is no second chance at
salvation for those who are lost.
- Revelation 20:1-3. Satan
is bound to this earth during the
millennium-or thousand year
period-following Jesus’ second
coming.
- Jeremiah
4:23-27. The earth is
desolate and uninhabited during the
millennium.
Jeremiah
25:33.
- 1 Corinthians
6:2,3. The saints judge the world
during the thousand years.
Revelation
20:4,6.
- Revelation 21:2. At
the end of the millennium, Jesus
returns with the righteous and the
inhabitants of heaven. The Holy City,
New Jerusalem, descends to earth from
heaven.
Zechariah
14:3-10.
- Revelation 20:3-13.
At the end of the millennium,
Satan is loosed for a short time, and
the wicked are raised to life to
receive their final judgment.
- Revelation
20:11,12. The wicked stand before
God’s great white judgment
throne and receive their final
judgment, which is total
annihilation.
Philippians
2:10,11. Every knee bows before God; every
tongue confesses He is righteous. Even the
wicked admit that God is just and their
sentence is deserved.
- Revelation 20:9,
10, 14. Fire comes down out of
heaven and destroys forever Satan,
his angels, and all the wicked.
- Revelation 21:1. God
creates a new earth where
righteousness dwells forever.
