Notes on the Millennium Kingdom
Compiled by WD Kemner March 2024
Millennium Kingdom
1000 Year Reign of Christ on Earth
The End Times will begin with the signing of a Treaty between the Anti-christ and the nation of Israel guaranteeing Israel peace. This event marks the start of the Tribulation period that will last seven years. The Tribulation Period will be followed by the return of Jesus Christ. This will be His second coming.
The Second Coming will be to Cleanse the Earth of wickedness. Once this has completed the earth will have an era of peace that has never been seen. Christ will rule on earth. This period will last for a thousand years and has been called the Millenium Kingdom. This document will list the verses that apply to that period.
A study of this period can start with the Book of Daniel. Daniel’s interpretation of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar lists many nations to come after that time in history. The last one described is the establishment of God’s Kingdom on Earth.
Daniel 2:44-45 “…the God of Heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…”
Isaiah 11:6-9 Peaceful Kingdom in animal world for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord.
Isaiah 23:18 City of Tyre will exist and function like a supply depot.
Isaiah 60:19-22 Sun and Moon may exist but will not be functioning to provide light and there will be Longevity of Life.
Isaiah 66:18-19 Missions declaring God’s glory among Gentiles.
Isaiah 66:24 There will be a way to see the bodies of those that sinned against God.
Joel 2:24-27 Peace and Prosperity.
Joel 2:28-29 Holy Spirit Outpouring. Where and why would the Holy Spirit leave after the Second Coming?

Isaiah 19:23-25 “In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.”
Isaiah 35:8-9 “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there”
