Millennium

Revelation 20:1-6

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

The 'thousand years' (millennium) of this chapter is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible, and no other chapter in the Bible has given rise to such heated argument about its meaning. However, certain things are clear. John sees Satan under God's firm control. He sees the souls of the martyrs, not every Christian resurrected to reign with 'Christ for a thousand years.

Why?

The dragon is controlled by the Lord, he will be seized in Abyss for thousand years.

All the souls of the martyrs will be the first resurrected to reign with Christ for thousand years. It is justice and fair, for they have been oppressed and killed by Satan. God is their comforter.

The destination of the dragon, the devil, Satan will be judged under God's authority.

大紅龍要被關在無底坑裏一千年，即千禧年。

沒有撒旦，人還是會做惡，讓人重新選擇，所以還是要有審判者，信徒與耶穌要在審判台前審判。此時沒有撒旦，但是不表示人就會歸神。所以人犯罪是不願意歸向神。現在還不是審判，做王的時候，好好做僕人，我們在第一次復活時就有份了。

How?

Everything is under the authority and plan of the Lord. Trust in Jesus Christ is the only way to save our soul!
