When I first became a “Prophecy Watcher” about 20 years ago, we were all of us looking for signs of the Rapture. Little did we know that here in 2026, we would be seeing so many signs of the coming Tribulation! Now, with the evil players of Ezekiel 38 and 39 allied together and ready to play their part, and with the events occurring in Gaza and in Iran, we find ourselves all listening for the Great Shofar to blow, calling us to “Come up here” to begin the Marriage Week with our heavenly Bridegroom, Jesus Christ!
Yet far too many believers understand the Rapture to be our entrance to an eternity spent in heaven … it is NOT! If the Rapture takes place in the next 3 years, then we are just 10 years away from a glorious time named 6 times in Revelation 20 as the “Millennial Reign of Christ!

The link above will take you to a book written by myself and a friend of mine named Seth nearly a decade ago. Our book was born out of a longing to offer Bible students like myself a simple presentation of the biblical truths of the marvelous Millennium. The subject of the Millennium is not a minor topic in the Holy Scriptures. There are a total of 133 Millennial prophecies quoted in my book (including the additional passages listed in the appendix), and author Denny Bolen (see bibliography) claims to have found a total of 400!
In his book, Things To Come (pg. 47), the well-respected author, Dwight J. Pentecost, makes this amazing statement about the doctrine of the Millennial Kingdom:
“A larger body of prophetic Scripture is devoted to the Millennium, developing its character and conditions, than any other one subject.”
Altogether, they paint a glorious picture! The Millennial Age will be the most peaceful, prosperous, productive time in the recorded history of the world! This thousand-year reign of the Messiah-King, Yeshua (Jesus), is so compelling to read and to speak about that even many unbelievers are glad to hear of its utopian themes! Yet, strangely, the average American Christian or Jewish person almost never hears anything about it, and a quick internet search will show that the teachers and writers of our Christian faith have produced very few resources to help them! Brothers and sisters, “this ought not to be so!”
I believe there are two main reasons why believers in Christ are not better acquainted with the thrilling teachings of God’s glorious kingdom on Earth. The first is simply the sad fact that so many of us have ignored the reading of the Old Testament in favor of the familiarity of the New Testament. We are uncertain whether we can understand the books of the prophets or, possibly, we are unconvinced of their present-day relevance in light of the revelations of the New Covenant. To these concerns, I would simply quote the words of scripture in 1 Timothy 3:16:
“ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
This reminder is even more convicting when we recall that the New Testament books had not yet been officially compiled in 60 A.D. When Paul exhorted Timothy to use “all scripture” for his faith and ministry, Paul was referring to the OLD Testament!
The second reason for our lack of Millennial awareness is the fact that so many teachers have decided to interpret the Old Testament prophecies symbolically instead of literally. This has produced the spread of much unbiblical teaching on this subject. There are “Post-Millennialists” who believe that the second coming of Christ will only occur after (post) the earthly millennium, and “Amillennialists” who do not believe that a Millennial Age has or ever will take place on the earth! I cannot wait to see the ecstatic looks on the faces of these currently confused brethren when, one day, they find themselves standing in a Millennial garden on land that was once called “Antarctica”!
