The Book of Revelation ; a study of the last prophetic book of Holy Scripture . beraised from the dead at the Resurrection of the Wicked, and when heshall be Judged and condemned at the Great White Throne Judg-ment, and sentenced to die again, his soul and spirit will descendto the Lake of Fire (the Final Hell), where they will exist in aconscious state and in torment for all eternity. But the SecondDeath has no terror for the Righteous, for the promise is that itshall have no power over them. 3. THE MILLENNIUM. Rev. 20:4. And they lived and reigned with Christ a THOUSANDYEARS. That there is to be a period of a 1000 years during which Satanshall be bound and Christ shall reign on this earth, is plainly stated inthe New Testament. This period is mentioned 6 times in Rev. 20:1-7, and is generally called The Millennium,from the Latin words Mille (1000) and Annum (year). It is tobe regretted, however, that the word Millennium ever supplantedthe Biblical word Kingdom, for it is this period that Christ taughtHis Disciples to pray for in the petition—Thy Kingdom « 182 THE THINGS WHICH SHALL BE HEREAFTER. Let us drop then for the present the word Millennium and lookat the word Kingdom. In the Book of Daniel we learn that therewere to be Four World-wide Kingdoms that were to succeed eachother on the earth and that they were to be destroyed in turn by aKingdom called the Stone Kingdom. As those Four Kingdoms were literal Kingdoms it followsthat the Stone Kingdom must be a literal Kingdom, for it takesthe place of those Kingdoms and fills the whole earth. This StoneKingdom is the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. The time when this* Stone Kingdom shall be set up is at theRevelation of Christ, when He shall come with the armies ofHeaven and destroy Antichrist (Rev. 19:11-21) and judge theNations. When the Son of Man shall come in His glcfry, and all theholy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His Glory;and before Him shall be gathered all nations; and He
