Literally a 1000 Year Kingdom? – “No Compelling Reason” To Doubt It?
I appreciate the Got Questions? website. I think it’s very helpful in answering a lot of questions about the Bible.

Introduction Is the “age to come” a millennial kingdom, where upon the return of Christ He sets up His kingdom on this present earth and rules this world as its King? Or is the “age to come” the Eternal Kingdom (eternal state) of the “new heaven and new earth” (Rev 21:1-2), which we enter directly upon […]

All Scripture quotations are from the 1901 American Standard Version unless otherwise noted.
