Conversations in the Millennium Kingdom

The Millennium Kingdom is the nearly next event on the schedule of God's prophetic plan. There will be the end of the Church Age, culminating in the rapture of the saints. Then 7 years of the Time of Jacob's Trouble, and the return of Jesus to put an end to sin (Dan 9:24). After that He establishes His kingdom which will last for 1000 years. Satan will be bound and put in the pit so he won't even be around to bother anyone for all that time. (Revelation 20:2-7)

The Jews will live in their promised lands, and the Church Age Saints will live in New Jerusalem. Believers who made it through the Tribulation will enter the Kingdom and repopulate the earth. Without sin and with the earth having been restored, the population will explode quickly. It will be a time of peace and harmony.

"And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places." (Isaiah 32:17–18)

"Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. I will restore the fortunes of my people." (Amos 9:13–15).

The curse of creation will be gone and the animals will be friendly.

"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together;" (Isaiah 11:6–9)

The children who are born during the Millennium Kingdom will grow in a happy, healthy, whole environment. If they die at age 100 it will be as if they died while a child, so 'young' they must have been accursed.

"No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed." (Isaiah 65:20).

We who are raptured or resurrected through death will be talking with these children. After all, they will be be born with a sin nature and have to be taught about Jesus. Can you imagine some of the conversations in our rocking chair as we sit under our vine, and the kids come around? Maybe a kid crawls up onto our lap, or sits on the porch and asks for a story. We can give them the real "back in my day" stories!

Back in my day, you had to lock the doors because of robbers.
What's a lock?
It's a thing where it prevents the door being open unless you have the key.
What's a key?
It's...oh, never mind.
What's a robber?
It is a bad guy who comes to take away your things without permission.
Why would they want to do that when everyone always has everything they need?
Maybe they were hungry.
What's hungry?
LOL, maybe they just wanted our TV, eh, Bessie? [speaking to neighbor]
What's a tv?
Never mind. Hey, kids, look at that lion over there. Back in my day, they would chase you and chomp you and eat you up!
No! Not my friend Leo! He's nice!
Well, maybe they were hungry and they wanted a human to eat.
What's hungry? You said that word before.
You kids make me tired. Go play with that cobra over there. (Isaiah 11:8)
OK bye Grandma Elizabeth!

Back in my day... [shudder]. I think I'll go visit Martin Luther and Apostle Paul for a while. Ack, kids these days. They never had it so good.

    1. Hi Lydia,

      Yes, people will die during the 1000 Year Reign of Christ. The people who are alive at the end of the Tribulation will be judged (Matthew 25, Sheep & Goats Judgment) and those who are not saved will be sent to hell and those who are saved will be allowed to enter the Kingdom. They will be in fleshly, mortal bodies. They will multiply rapidly and re-populate the earth. According to Let Us Reason.org,

      "Those born in Millennial period must receive Christ as Savior just as people in prior dispensations. By the end of the 1,000 years there will be millions of people born under Christ's Kingdom that will still refuse to accept Him as Savior. During this time period of Christs theocracy, Satan is bound in the bottomless pit. But the adamic nature is not eradicated in mortal mankind that is still being born. Those who are born to those who have entered the millennium can refuse and not be saved (even if their parents are saved). At the end of this time period Satan will be released from the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:7) and will lead All unbelievers in a rebellion against Jesus Christ, against the saints and the city of Jerusalem (Rev.20:6)."

      During the Reign of the 1000 years, Isaiah 65:20 says that anyone who dies at age 100 will be like a child, and cursed.

      "No more shall there be in it
      an infant who lives but a few days,
      or an old man who does not fill out his days,
      for the young man shall die a hundred years old,
      and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed."
