Christ’s Millennial Reign

This is a Premillennialism view on the reign of Christ, other views can been seen here

New Heaven and New Earth

Scriptural References: D&C 63:20-21; Rev 21:1; Isa 65:17-25, 66:22, 2 Peter 3:10-13

"...When Jesus Christ comes again and the Millennium begins, the earth will be changed to the condition it was in prior to the Fall of Adam and Eve. Before the Fall, the earth existed in a terrestrial, or paradisiacal, state (a state of paradise). After the Millennium, the earth will change again to a celestial state prepared for the presence of God. These changes may have been what John saw taking place when he “saw a new heaven and a new earth”..." https://www.lds.org/manual/new-testament-seminary-teacher-manual/introduction-to-the-revelation-of-st-john-the-divine/lesson-160-revelation-21-22?lang=eng

Summary of Earthly Transformations

The transformation to a "new heaven and new earth" signifies a renewal process where the earth returns to a paradisiacal state at the Millennium's start and achieves celestial glory at its end. This involves physical and spiritual changes, such as the removal of wickedness, the binding of Satan, and the earth's preparation for divine presence. Additional scriptures emphasize this renewal as part of God's plan for redemption and eternal peace.

Additional Scriptural References:

  • Isaiah 65:21-23 (expanding on 17-25): Describes a time of prosperity where people build houses and inhabit them without fear of loss or vain labor, symbolizing the absence of poverty and insecurity during the Millennium.
  • D&C 101:23-34: Details the paradisiacal state, including every person seeing the face of the Lord, the cessation of enmity among all flesh, no sorrow due to no death, and the revelation of hidden knowledge.

His Final Coming: The Lord’s Coming in Red

Scriptural References: Isaiah 63:1-6, Rev 19:13, D&C 133 provides a summation of second coming events and highlights the Lords coming in red apparel (46 said: a Who is this that cometh down from God in heaven with dyed b garments ….48: the Lord shall be a red in his apparel, and his garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat.) which fits here as His final coming prior to His 100 year reign.

Summary of Christ's Final Coming

Christ's appearance in red apparel symbolizes His role as a conqueror and judge, treading the winepress of God's wrath against the wicked. This event marks the transition into the Millennium, with divine power displayed through judgments and the establishment of righteous rule. Expanded references highlight the preparatory signs, Christ's kingly role, and the gathering of the righteous.

The 1000-year reign is characterized by peace, righteousness, and divine governance. Satan is bound, enmity ceases, and the earth becomes a paradise.

Healing of the Dead Sea

The "healing of the Dead Sea " as prophesied in Ezekiel 47:8–12 and Zechariah 14:8 is generally considered a Millennial event, occurring after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The healing of the Dead Sea is most likely situated during the Millennium, after the Second Coming, as part of the earth’s transformation into a paradisiacal state. This placement is based on the context of Ezekiel’s and Zechariah’s prophecies, which describe a time of divine intervention and renewal under Christ’s reign. Since the exact timing of Millennial events is not fully detailed in scripture, the healing of the Dead Sea remains a general expectation for the Millennial era rather than a precisely dated event.

Summary of Millennial Transformations (Expanded)

This healing represents broader renewal, including living waters flowing from Jerusalem, fructifying barren lands, and symbolizing spiritual revival. It ties into the earth's paradisiacal shift.

Second Trump (Terrestrial)

Scriptural References: D&C 88:99

Final Battle

Scriptural References: D&C 88:111-114

This is an event, in my estimation, that many don't understand. It is my guess that when the veil is lifted it will become very apparent, and all of our experience will come to bare in choosing sides. Since this is a post coming event I won't spend much time on it, however I will just state this could be a section in and of itself.

Summary of End Events

At the Millennium's close, Satan is loosed briefly, leading to deception and a final battle (Gog and Magog). This culminates in divine victory, final judgment, and the earth's celestial transformation. Expanded references detail the sequence of judgments, Satan's defeat, and ultimate renewal.
