In Revelation 20 we are given insight into the glorious Millennial Reign of Christ on the earth! What is this time period? It’s the time predicted in the Old Testament where Jesus Christ, Messiah will rule and reign over his righteous Kingdom! At the end of the Great Tribulation period, Jesus returns with His Saints to establish His rightful rule! This is mentioned many times prophetically in the Old Testament (Isaiah 11 & 35, Jeremiah 23, Joel 3 & Zechariah 14).
Below are 6 New Testament names for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ:
1. The Kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 3:2 (NKJV) “and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!””
2. The Kingdom of God.
Mark 1:14 (NKJV) “Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,”
3. The Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Hebrews 12:28 (NKJV) “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”
4. The world to come.
Hebrews 2:5 (NKJV) “For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.”
5. The times of refreshing.
Acts 3:19 (NKJV) “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,”
6. The period of restoring all things
Acts 3:21 (NKJV) “whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.”
