One of the 28
Fundamental Beliefs of the
00:00:06.71\00:00:09.30
Seventh Day Adventist
Church is the Millennium
00:00:09.33\00:00:11.16
and the end of sin.
00:00:11.20\00:00:12.23
The millennium is a
thousand year reign of Christ
00:00:12.26\00:00:15.70
with His saints in
heaven between the first
00:00:15.73\00:00:17.66
and second resurrections.
00:00:17.69\00:00:19.13
During this time the
wicked dead will be judged,
00:00:19.16\00:00:21.72
the earth will be
utterly desolate without living
00:00:21.75\00:00:24.34
human inhabitants, but occupied
by Satan and his angels.
00:00:24.37\00:00:27.36
At His close, Christ with His
saints and the Holy City will
00:00:27.39\00:00:31.02
descend from Heaven to earth.
00:00:31.05\00:00:33.11
The unrighteous dead
will then be resurrected and
00:00:33.14\00:00:36.40
with Satan and his
angels will surround the city,
00:00:36.43\00:00:38.97
but fire from God will consume
them and cleanse the earth,
00:00:39.00\00:00:42.28
the universe will thus be freed
of sin and sinners forever.
00:00:42.31\00:00:45.85
Basing this hope on the
promise of Christ's return,
00:00:45.88\00:00:48.66
we are looking forward to
a new heaven and new earth,
00:00:48.69\00:00:51.99
the home of righteousness.
00:00:52.02\00:00:53.17
Since we are looking forward
to this, make every effort
00:00:53.20\00:00:56.80
to be found spotless, blameless,
and at peace with Him.
00:00:56.83\00:00:59.74
In Revelation 20:14, we
find: Death and Hades were
00:00:59.77\00:01:05.20
thrown into the lake of
fire. Thus the universe has been
00:01:05.23\00:01:08.85
purified from sin.
00:01:08.88\00:01:10.60
God bless you
this wonderful day.
