1. A Thousand Years…Plus a Little Bit More
Revelation 20:1-21:8
A Thousand Years…Plus a Little Bit More

2. 3 Views of the “Millennium”
Premillennialism: Jesus returns BEFORE the thousand year reign begins
Postmillennialism: Jesus returns AFTER the thousand years is over
Amillennialism: There is NO thousand year reign and NO Rapture

3. Why do we need a Millennial Kingdom on earth?
It is a Reward for all believers
It will reemphasize the sinfulness and depravity of man
Many born during the Millennium will rebel against God

4. Satan and the Bottomless Pit
Satan is locked in the “Abyss” for a thousand years
Why does God let him go?
The Millennium is a time of “testing” for those born during the thousand years

5. The First Resurrection
Christians who were killed during the Tribulation are resurrected
O.T. Believers are resurrected (Dan. 12)
Unbelievers are not resurrected until the thousand years is over

6. The End of the Millennium
Satan is released to “deceive the nations”
Many born during the thousand years will join forces with Satan
Fire from heaven will devour them
Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire

7. The Great White Throne Judgment
All unbelievers are raised from the dead
They will be judged according to their works
The Lake of Fire is the “2nd Death”
If anyone’s name is not in the Book of Life, he is cast into the Lake of Fire

8. The Dawn of Eternity God will create a new heaven and a new earth
We will live with God
There will be no more death, crying, or pain
Our eternal home will be the “New Jerusalem”
