Why has God ordained a 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom? Why have perfect people roaming the earth
doing things?
Answer
Some of the reasons that we can see:
1. God has made a number of unconditional promises to Israel in
the Old Testament, but their disobedience prevented God from carrying out His
promises. Therefore, this will be a time when God can fulfill to Israel
all that he said He would do.
2. God declared in His Word that Jesus would reign over
the earth, and would have a Kingdom of Peace, but again man's wickedness and
rejection of Christ prevented it, but in the Millennium, Christ will reign as
the Lord of the Earth, and receive the worship due Him.
3. Man will have no excuse on the day of judgment, that
the "devil made me do it" or that the temptations of the world
caused mankind to sin, and that if man was in a "perfect
environment" then man would not sin. Not so, for even with Satan
locked up for the 1,000 years, and Christ on the throne in Jerusalem, man
still sins, even in the Millennium.
4. Christ has promised that the "Church" would
rule and reign with Him in His Kingdom. The Millennium is one place
where we (all Christians who died in Christ) will rule and reign with Him.
