ii. During the one thousand years of Christ’s reign on earth, Satan will be bound with chains and kept in the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3)
iii. Some of the tribulation saints (no unbeliever) will survive to live on (with their terrestrial bodies) into the millennial kingdom. The Saints coming with Christ (with glorified bodies) will reign over cities and the people on earth.
iv. The Millennium is described in Matthew 19:28 as the regeneration – when Christ will rule in the new world.
v. It is the time of restitution of all things (Acts 3:21), that is the restoration to the original state, as spoken by the prophets (2 Samuel 7:16).
vi. During this period, Christ will be manifested in His kingdom. He will, from Heaven, descend with the raptured saints and angels upon Mount Olives, which is before Jerusalem (Revelation 19:11-17). Canaan will be taken for everlasting possession by Christ, according to God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:8; Galatians 3:16).
vii. Christ will be manifested to take possession of David’s kingdom according to God’s covenant with David (2 Samuel 7:8-16; Acts 2:29-32).
viii. Christ will manifest as king of righteousness (Isaiah 32:1),
King of Israel (John 12:13), King of kings (Revelation 19:16), and King over all the earth (Zechariah 14:9). He will reveal Himself as the great God (Revelation 19:17).
ix. At the second coming of Christ, these covenants will be fulfilled as Israel is re-gathered from the nations converted, and restored to the land under the rule of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:31; Zechariah 12:10-14)

- There will be abundant joy and great comfort (Isaiah 61.7, 10).
- The knowledge of the Lord in the hearts of men will spread, ‘as the waters cover the sea’ (Isaiah 11:9; Jeremiah 31:33-34).
