What is the Millennium?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

The Millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ on this Earth (Revelation 20). It is a period of 1,000 years of sabbath characterized by perfect environment, perfect government, absolute and complete justice, and divine provision. During this time, there will be no warfare or violence, and the devil will be bound from Earth.

This period serves as humanity’s greatest test to disprove the claim that environment is the issue. Despite the perfection of Christ's rule, some people will remain unhappy, acting as complainers and whiners who despise His leadership, authority, and government.

After the thousand years conclude, God will turn the devil loose. He will then lead multitudes who lived through this perfect sabbath in a revolt.
