The Messianic Kingdom
Jeff Gordon
Revelation 20:1-10
John describes what comes after the end of the final battle: the Messianic or Millennial Kingdom. Christ rules this kingdom for 1000 years (which takes place before the New Heaven and New Earth) with social justice, and care for the poor. Spiritual enlightenment, joy, and biological change will characterize this era of restoration. In this time, the entire world will witness Christ as ruler, the evil heart of humanity will be revealed, and the power of God to destroy Satan will be displayed.
