Revelation 20:7 make you want to say, “WHAT! WHY?!” Why would God release Satan after he has been held in a “prison” for 1000 years? While the Bible does not say specifically, one of the reasons for this could be to manifest the hearts of those born during the Millennial Kingdom. We have a tendency to believe that when we are “good” we are a part of the kingdom of God. The problem is that while associating ourselves with moral people, morality and doing the right things do not make us followers of Jesus Christ. We must recognize that we are a sinner in our heart, and we need to repent of or sin, and accept the sacrifice of Christ as payment for the penalty of our sin. Even in a society where righteousness and grace, people must have a relationship with God. Do you think you are good enough on your own, or are you basing your righteousness on the work of Christ. The time to understand this is now!… READ MORE

With Satan, his demon host, and all God-rejecting sinners out of the way, the millennial kingdom of peace and righteousness will be established. In Revelation 20:4-6, Joh sees the panorama of God’s people resurrected, rewarded, and reigning with Christ. During this time glorified saints (Resurrected followers of Jesus), will both enforce God’s will and adjudicate disputes. The comfort of this passage is seen in the fact that, God has a future plan and purpose for those who choose to follow Him today. Heaven, and eternity is more than simply sitting on clouds strumming a harp, or an eternal Church “worship hour.” God has a plan for each of us in His eternal design. With that plan, is designed a purpose! God does not save us so that we can sit passively as the hours of eternity slowly pass along. God designed us to work and serve Him and each other. Our eternal destiny is designed to give us purpose and design. A final blessing for the participants in the “first resurrection” is that they “will reign with the Lord Jesus Christ for a thousand years,” along with the believers who survived the tribulation. Physically, this time in the history of … READ MORE

The first matter for Jesus’ attention as He sets up His Millennial kingdom, is the confinement of the chief rebel. The testimony of Scripture is that Satan is anything but bound in this present age, but will be during the coming earthly kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. His activity in the world will not be merely restricted or restrained, but totally curtailed; he will not be permitted to influence the world in any way. With this in mind, is it any wonder that as the coming of Christ comes closer and closer, Satan’s activity in the world will get more and more aggressive. Do not be overwhelmed by the evil that is present, rather recognize it as Satan’s attempt to bring turmoil to a world that is not his, nor ever will be. Our text today reminds us that not only will Christ enslave Satan, but He does not have to do it personally, rather He will delegate that role to one of His mighty angels. This is a reminder to us that not only is God greater than our enemy, Satan, but He has other created beings that are more powerful than our enemy also. Satan is only … READ MORE
