Greeting

To the saints of the community.
Grace, mercy and peace, of God the Father and of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Introduction:

In Revelation 20: 4 the Lord says:

"And I saw thrones, and those who had the right to judge sat on them, and I saw the souls of those beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and that they did not receive the mark in their foreheads or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years ".

The great question we ask of the saints of the Lord, what is the millennium? When will this kingdom be established on earth?

The millennium is a period of a thousand years. It is the kingdom of God established politically on earth that will be after the second coming of Christ.
The Lord will establish a kingdom of justice and peace, and will rule together with the saints with a rod of iron.

It is important to clarify that the saints that were transformed at the time of the rapture of the church along with the incorruptible dead resurrected at the coming of Christ in the air according to 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-17 will not pass through the period of the Great Tribulation (7 years), while people who during that period of tribulation do not worship the beast who is the Antichrist or let themselves be sealed by the antichrist, but remain faithful to the Lord even if they are persecuted and beheaded will have a part with Christ in the kingdom thousand years, according to the biblical part read at the beginning of this message.

¿What will be the role of the saints in the millennium?

According to Revelation 20: 6, the Lord says: Blessed and holy is he who has a part in the first resurrection; the second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.

At the end of the text it says that the saints will be priests of God and of Christ in the millennium.
Dear brother, are you prepared to assume this role in the millennium?
For a thousand years we will be with our Christ reigning as a priest and we will administer the sacred affairs of the kingdom.

Christ reigns in Jerusalem

According to the prophetic book of Micah in chapter 4: 1-4, the Lord says:

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as a captain of mountains, and higher than the mountains: and the people shall flow unto him: 2 Many nations shall come and say: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths, by the law and the word of the LORD that will come out of Jerusalem. 3 And he will judge among many people, and he will correct the nations that they shall pierce their swords with plows, and their spears with sickles, and shall not raise a sword against a nation, neither shall they rehearse battle, and every one shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there shall be no one to make them afraid, because the mouth of the LORD of the armies has spoken".

Dear brother, we observe in the word that it will be a glorious reign of justice and peace, the nation will not rise against the nation, on the contrary, the nations will hammer their weapons of war and put them to the benefit of humanity. There will be a total tranquility, without any fear of the insecurity that someone can take your life to steal, the word says that we can sit under a vine or a tree, and there will be no one to scare us. It will be an extraordinary kingdom, it is worth reviewing ourselves as we walk with Christ and then we have the right to all these blessings that God has prepared for those who obey Him.

The subject is interesting and extensive, it allows us to examine ourselves and fix our gaze on the future state that we will have in Christ Jesus. Blessings
