The Millennial Reign

TEXT: Revelation 20:1-10; Isaiah 35:1-10

Have you ever considered what life would be like if . . .

— every mother really wanted and truly loved her children?

— every father loved his wife as himself and enjoyed his role as the moral leader and character example for his family?

— every child loved, revered, and obeyed his parents?

— every businessman was satisfied with a fair profit?

— you could walk the streets of any of our large cities at night in safety?

— you could always leave the keys in your car, and your house unlocked?

— every judge was incorruptible and supernaturally wise?

— death was a rarity instead of an overwhelming, daily occurrence?

— the leader of every country was a direct appointee of Jesus Christ?

Would you be surprised to learn that the Bible declares that there will soon be 1000 years during which the world will be in such a condition?
