Rev. 20:1-6, The blessing of millennial kingdom
1-6,
1.And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
2.He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
3.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.
4.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.
5.(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
6.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.

  Last week's speech. Chapter 19:11-21, Christ who will return is the victor who comes on a white horse. Eyes like fire (all-knowing), and many crowns on his head (King of Kings). Clothing dipped in blood (conquering enemies). Name: 1)Loyalty and truth (loyalty to the end, no lies). Wonderful (the marvelous), the Word of God (more intimate with Jesus by the Word). King of kings, Lord of lords(reign). Two feasts after the Second Coming of the Lord, 1) The wedding feast of the Lamb for the saints (bride) (Happy Ending!). 2) Unbelievers  will meet the feast of God's wrath(food of birds). Which side are you and your family on?
  Today's chapter 20:1-6 speaks the blessing of the millennial kingdom. There is a lot of controversy among scholars as to which period in the history that this millennial kingdom refers to from the beginning to the end. There are three major theories of the millennial kingdom: premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennia -lism. The important thing is that the Lord will surely return. The devil and demons are defeated. The Lord reigns and triumphs. The saints will have eternal life in heaven with the Lord, and will judge and rule the world. The millennial kingdom (reign) is the greatest blessing. Let's calm down and listen to God’s Word.

1. Satan will be bound before the Millennium Kingdom (1-3)
  The angel will 1) seize the devil (the dragon, the old serpent, and Satan), 2) bind it, 3) throw it into the abyss, 4) lock it, and 5) seal it over it, so that it will not deceive the nations until the thousand years are fulfilled. The abyss is like a dungeon where the group of the devil enters (Jude 1:6, darkness; 2 Peter 2:4, hell, dark pit).
Jude 1:6, And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.
2 Peter 2:4, For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness† to be held for judgment.
Until then, the devil and demons are doing their best. Therefore, we must 1) be vigilant. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober and watchful, your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Put on the full armor of God, and always be on the lookout so that the devil does not take advantage of it. 2) Oppose Satan in the name (authority) of Jesus of resurrection and life. James 4:7, Oppose the devil. Then he will flee from you. 1 Peter 5:9, Be strong in the faith and resist him. Have victory with the sword of the Word, praise and prayer. When the Lord comes again, the devil will be completely bound and will finally disappear completely from the earth. Amen.

2. In the Millennium Kingdom, believers who have believed in the Lord and suffered will be resurrected and enjoy glory.
  The Millennium Kingdom is a blessed nation, the saints will judge and reign with Christ. Verse 4, ‘The suffering saints’ (those who were faithful to death) 1) ‘Those who were martyred for their testimony of Jesus and the word of God’ 2) Those who did not worship the beast and his image. 3) Those who did not receive the mark of the beast (666).
1) Holy saints come to life (resurrect). The first resurrection(5), the blessed lives that are physically resurrected. Verses 5 and 6, 1 Cor.15:23, John 5:29. 1 Cor. 15:23, But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 
2) They will enjoy the blessing of eternal life, not eternal punishment. John 5:,25, Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
3) They will become a priest of God and Christ (6, 1:6; 5:10, 1 Peter 2:9).
1 Peter 2:9, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
4) For a thousand years forever, they will reign with Christ (6,22:5). 22:5, There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

Dan. 12:2-3, “2.Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3.Those who are wise* will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.”
    There are two resurrections. A life that believes in Jesus, saves souls, and resurrects glory in the midst of suffering is eternal life and the life of a star in heaven that shines like the light of heaven. But those who live according to the world will have a resurrection of judgment with eternal shame.

Brothers and sisters, which way are you going? Do you truly believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, Lord, and God, worship and evangelize? Then these blessings are yours. Also, what about your family? I pray that they too will become the main characters who enjoy these blessings, and that they will all become disciples of the blessed Lord who leads them. Amen.
