The Millennium

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀,

After the fall of Babylon, Christ returned and the kingdom the judgement was given to the people of the saints of the most high as says Daniel 7. Later in the chapter, John goes on to describe what Christ’s 70AD throne looks like, which is a 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦..

The saints were resurrected in 70AD and given thrones of judgement. This is in keeping with the Lord’s promise that in the recreation they would sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This is also what St. Paul spoke of when he said “do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?”

These are those who had lived faithful lives through the tribulation, who had patience and endurance and had respect to the reward of the Kingdom that they would be receiving when Christ returned.

At 70 AD, they were resurrected to life. As a reward for their faith in Christ during the tribulation, they were subsequently granted to rule with him as he promised in the letters to the seven churches. Paul says “if we suffer with him we also will reign with him.”

They rule with him for a thousand years and this is the ‘day of Judgement’, or ‘day of the Lord’, which Peter says is as a thousand years. After the 1,000 years, something notable happens but in reality they continue reigning forever and ever as says Rev 22:5, “and they will reign forever and ever.” But he says 1,000 years because a couple very important things happen after the first 1,000 years; Satan is released and the rest of the dead come to life.
