Regarding Rev 20:1-3 The Millenial Reign, I don’t understand something. Where are we, who have been faithful to Jesus all of our lives during this time period? I gave my life to Christ and am a firm believer. If Satan is released during the 1000 years, and there’s enough sin left in the heart of man, do I have to fight this battle with myself all over again? OR, do we who have accepted Jesus sacrifice get to rule with Him and be protected from Satan’s lies during the millennium? Please clarify for me.
Q.During the Millennium, the Church will be in the New Jerusalem, home of the redeemed. But read Rev. 20:7 again. “When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison.” According to this verse Satan will not be released until the end of the millennium. Even so, once we’ve been raptured and given our perfected bodies, our fight with sin will be over. We will have overcome the world, just like the Lord did.
The sinful men Satan will recruit at the end of the Millennium (Rev. 20:8) will be descendants of survivors of the Great Tribulation who will go into the Millennium in their natural state to re-populate the Earth. This is foretold in Matt. 25.31-36. These descendants will have rejected the Lord and will have refused to allow His death to pay for their sins. When Satan is released they will be fair game for his deception and will join his final attempt to claim planet Earth as his own. Fire will come down from heaven
