Chapter 8
Thousand Year Reign


So begins the thousand year reign of Christ upon the earth. This is the time where the sons and daughters of God will reign with Christ as judges and priests for a thousand years while sitting under the teachings of Christ. We will learn to not only rule the nations of the earth but how to rule the universe for God as His sons and daughters.

After a thousand years, Satan will be let loose from the bottomless pit for a while to again deceive those whose hearts have not been given to Christ. This will be an amazing time for humanity due to the great knowledge man has accumulated both before Armageddon and during the thousand year reign of Christ. We cannot even begin to imagine the knowledge man will achieve and the things that will be available to man during this time. The earth's resources will be abundant due to God's blessings. There will be no more hunger, and the division of the classes will be balanced. No more rich or poor, no wars or fighting during the thousand years. The weather will be perfect. There will be no more natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes which cause destruction to worry about. Christ will have brought the utopian society that man has strived for so long and failed to achieve.



But because Lucifer was created by God, to accomplish the job that God needed Him to do, he will be released at the end of the thousand years. He will again deceive those who failed during the thousand years to give their hearts to God. Again man will believe that he can become god and with much more reason to believe so due to the greatly increased knowledge man will have gained. Man will be easy prey for Satan's lies without the Holy Spirit to guide him.

The one overwhelming question that always seems to surface when dealing with evil is --- WHY? Since this is the question everyone else refuses to try and answer I shall give my humble opinion in the next chapter.
