THE LAST MILLENNIUM
Revelation 20:1-3,7-10

Unless the Lord Jesus Christ returns, in 62 days we will conclude
the second millennium and begin the third millennium. Since the
birth of the Lord Jesus Christ there have been in general about
2,000 years of recorded history. We have had one millennium and
are now coming into the last days of this second millennium and
then we are facing the third millennium. The question arises--are

There is a great deal of millennium madness and it is going to be

this as an opportunity to do their damage.

for a reign of peace. The New Age movement talks about it and
they talk in terms of an age of Aquarius. Others talk about it and
they say--visualize peace. As if you could create reality by thinking

but all of them have been unsuccessful.
First Thessalonians 5:23 says that God is the very God of peace.
Isaiah 9:6 says that the Lord Jesus is the Prince of Peace. The
reason there has never been peace on this earth is because the
Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ has not returned. There will
be no peace on the earth until Jesus returns again. There can be
no peace in ...
