Why does the Millennial Kingdom matter? In this message, we examine the three major views of Christ’s thousand-year reign—premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism—and explain why the future kingdom is more than an end-times debate. Your view of the future shapes how you read Scripture, understand Jesus’s parables, interpret Israel’s prophetic role, and live faithfully in the present. We also explore seven reasons for believing that Jesus will return before the Millennium and reign openly upon the earth. Revelation 20 fits naturally with the prophets, follows the events of Revelation 19, describes Satan’s future imprisonment, and presents two bodily resurrections separated by Christ’s reign. The King is returning, and His faithful people are being prepared to reign with Him—so let us live now in a way that makes us ready to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
