Millenial Kingdom
The covenant of the Millennial Kingdom will begin when Jesus Christ returns to Earth with His saints at the end of the tribulation period. After defeating the armies of the Antichrist, Jesus will establish His Kingdom and will restore the Earth to much like it was in the garden of Eden. Life-spans will be greatly extended, animal natures will be changed, and there will be peace throughout the Earth. Man's obligations under this covenant are simply to love and worship Jesus the King, and to obey His commandments. As wonderful as this sounds, not all men on the Earth will like Jesus ruling over them. The name Millennial Kingdom comes from the fact that Jesus will reign for one thousand years. After the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison in the bottomless pit and he will deceive those who do not want Jesus to rule over them, and they will make weapons and attack the Lord at Jerusalem. Judgment quickly falls on this foolish rebellion, ending the covenant of the Millennial Kingdom. After the close of this last covenant, Heaven and Earth will be dissolved and God will judge all the dead who have ever lived at the White Throne Judgment. Then the Lord will create a new Heaven and a new Earth. With sin, rebellion and judgment behind them, the faithful of all generations will dwell in the presence of the Lord in the New Jerusalem.
