Nonnie-No. 26--The Millennium and the End of Sin

No. 26--The Millennium
and the End of Sin

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn
as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and
all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the
day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD
of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root
nor branch. Malachi 4:1 (KJV)

The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints in heaven between the first and second resurrections. During this time the wicked dead will be judged; the earth will be utterly desolate, without living human inhabitants, but occupied by Satan and his angels. At its close Christ with His saints and the Holy City will descend from heaven to earth. The unrighteous dead will then be resurrected, and with Satan and his angels will surround the city; but fire from God will consume them and cleanse the earth. The universe will thus be freed of sin and sinners forever.
