The Millennial Reign PT1 Revelation 20:1-10
Why is there even a need for the millennium? Why not just wind it all up, judge sin and sinners and let the redeemed enter eternity? The millennium will allow the Lord to accomplish some much-needed goals. Among other things, the millennium will allow the Lord to:

To fulfill His Old Testament promises of a kingdom to Israel.
To put Jesus, in all His glory, on public display.
To answer the prayer, ” Thy Kingdom come.”
To fulfill the promise that the saints will reign.
To bring about the complete redemption of nature.
To give man one final test under the sovereign rule of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The first resurrection occurs at the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus and includes the saints raised at the Rapture as well as all those resurrected at the end of the Tribulation. The Bible says that those who have a part in this resurrection are ” blessed”. Why? They will not have to endure ” the second death”. However, all those who have rejected Jesus as their Savior, from the time of Adam all the way to the end of the Millennium, will be raised in the second resurrection. The poor, unfortunate souls will all face Jesus at the Great White Throne and they will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. If I were you, I would do everything in my power to see to it that I was part of the first resurrection.
