THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
There is much to say about the millennial kingdom. I aim to keep the daily devo recordings to around 9 to 10 minutes (maximum), so I have included a helpful resource below to support your personal study.

Three views of the millennial kingdom:

Amillennial: The belief that there is no millennial kingdom. The thousand years in Revelation 20:1-6 are interpreted figuratively. In this view, believers live and die during the tribulation, and then Christ returns to establish the new heaven and earth.

Postmillennial: Those who hold this view believe that Jesus will come after humanity has established peace on earth. This has traditionally been a more liberal view with a belief in humanity’s inherent goodness. 

Premillennial: This view purports that Jesus will return to establish the millennial kingdom on earth. This is the view I hold. 

Pretribulation and Premillennial: My view of the end times is pretrib and premill. In this interpretation, believers will be raptured before (pre-) the tribulation, and Jesus will come before (pre-) the millennial kingdom.
