c. Three important facts on the Second Coming :<br />

4. Millennium<br />

(1) Christ’s return is literal and physical.<br />

(2) Christ’s return is visible and public.<br />

(3) Christ’s return is glorious and awe-inspiring.<br />

a. Defined : the literal 1000 year reign of Christ (Messiah) on earth<br />

in fulfillment of Abrahamic, Davidic and New Covenants made<br />

to Abraham and his descendants.<br />

b. Described (Biblically)<br />

(1) Isaiah 9:6-7<br />

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,<br />

and the government will be on His shoulders. And he will<br />

be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting<br />

Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government<br />

and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s<br />

throne and over His kingdom establishing and upholding it<br />

with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.<br />

The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."<br />

(2) Luke 1:32-33<br />

"He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most<br />

High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His<br />

father David, 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob<br />

forever; His kingdom will never end."<br />

(3) Revelation 20:4-6<br />

"I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given<br />

authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had<br />

been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and<br />

because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or<br />

his image and had not received his mark on their<br />

foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with<br />

Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to<br />

life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first<br />

resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the<br />

first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but<br />

they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with<br />

Him for a thousand years."<br />
