The 1,000 Year Reign of Christ

Watch this sermon by Ptr. John Orlando as he exposits one of the most debated passages of Scripture in the Bible. In this sermon, he identifies the 1,000 year millennium, the meaning of the binding of Satan and the spread of the gospel to the nations. Although you may not agree with all of the conclusions, we must remember that what is most important are the eternal truths concerning eschatology: the literal return of Christ, the literal rapture, the resurrection of the dead, the judgment of the world, Satan & his kingdom, & the reign of Christ forevermore in God’s literal, eternal kingdom.
