Revelation Answer to Question #4

 

4. What about the 1,000-year reign of Christ?

The whole purpose of the 1,000-year reign of Christ—with his saints of the "first resurrection"— is to bind Satan so "that he should deceive the nations no more" (Revelation 20:3). Now most people are "blinded" by "the god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4).  At that time the deceived, unsaved of the world will then have their first real opportunity to believe and accept Christ when Satan is bound during the 1,000 years of Christ's reign.

Then at the end, Satan is loosed a "little season" for a final test on restored humanity. Although some who rebel will be destroyed in the "lake of fire"—second death—with Satan, most of mankind's billions will choose to serve God.  At best, now only a third of earth's population is Christian.  God's divine plan to save man will be very successful.
