Memory Verse: Revelation 20:6 “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 20:1-10. INTRODUCTION: Today, we want to study about the Millennial Reign of Christ otherwise known as thousand years reign. This is a glorious kingdom of Christ on earth after His return from Armageddon and before the new earth and the new heaven. During this one thousand years reign, Satan will be bound with chains in the bottomless pit. May the Holy Spirit teach and bless us as we study in Jesus Name. Amen
