Questions About The Millennium
Q. I Love your website!! It’s the best I’ve ever found and read it every night.
I understand almost everything about end times (thru study) until the second coming and then I get really Lost! Could you please walk me through the sequence of events that my soul will go thru, starting with the rapture. (I am, of course, born again) So, I am raptured, I go to….? I then attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb during the tribulation? And live there for how long? After the second coming, where do I live and for how long?
Also, I read about people living during the millennium and having children. Who are these people that have children? Are these children born saved and remain saved for all eternity? And where does the millennium take place?
When Satan is let loose for “a little while” at the end of the millennium, is there a chance for me to lose my salvation? I am getting really tired of Satan and don’t want to have to deal with him anymore after the rapture!!!
A. John 14:2-3 says that at the rapture we go to be with Jesus in “My Father’s House” where He has been preparing a place for us. I think the place He’s referring to is the New Jerusalem. At the Rapture we receive our new Resurrection bodies, so we go there as physical beings (1 Cor. 15:51). This is where we’ll live, at least until the end of the Millennium, and perhaps forever. The New Jerusalem will appear in the sky near Earth at the beginning of the Millennium and will remain there. (Rev. 21:2) Once we’re raptured, our trials will be over forever and Satan will have no more access to us.
Believers who survived the Great Tribulation will go live into the Millennium in their natural bodies and begin re-populating the Earth. Their children will not be born saved but will have to choose salvation just like we did. The ones who accept will receive resurrection bodies at the end of the Millennium. (Isaiah 25:7-8) Those who refuse will join Satan’s army at the end of the Millennium and be destroyed. (Rev. 20:7-9)
For Tribulation believers and Israel, the Millennium will take place on Earth. For the Church it will be in the nearby New Jerusalem.
