Facts about the Millennium
Gathered from Gospel Principles, Unit 9, D&C 101, and LDS.org
- The Millennium refers to the 1,000 years following Christ’s Second Coming. (This is patterned after the Lord’s period of rest following the six creative periods.)
- The wicked will be destroyed.
- The earth will become anew.
- Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and all will see him.
- Mortals will live on the earth. Jesus and immortal beings (resurrected saints) will probably not live on the earth the whole time but will frequently visit the earth.
- The Millennium will be a time of righteousness and peace on the earth.
- Everyone will be good, but not everyone will have received the fullness of the gospel. (Everyone living at this time will inherit the terrestrial or celestial kingdom.)
- There will be lots of missionary work. Temples will continue to be built and key ordinances for the living and dead will still happen.
- Agency will still exist. For a time many will continue to believe their false religions and ideas, but eventually everyone will accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
- With the help of revelation ancestral records will be traced all the way back to Adam and Eve.
- People will be granted what they righteously desire.
- The whole earth will be a delightful garden as it was when Adam and Eve lived.
- The continents will not be divided, but will all be gathered together as it was at first.
- Satan is bound and has no power or influence. Children will grow up without sin.
- There will be no war. People will live in peace and harmony.
- All animals will be at peace. All will eat grass and grain.
- The Lord will be our King. Christ will lead the church and also the political government. Government will be based on righteousness and will preserve the freedoms of all people. Mortals (members and non-members) will hold other government positions, and will receive help from resurrected beings.
- No sorrow, disease, or death. People will grow “as old as trees” when the time comes to “die” they will instantly become immortal instead.
- New truths will be revealed. Including how the earth was created and what will become of it.
- At the end of the Millenium Satan will be “loosed for a little season.” Some will turn away from Heavenly Father. The armies of Satan will fight against the hosts of heaven (led by Michael/Adam.) Satan will be defeated and cast out forever. The final judgment will come. Kingdoms will be assigned to people.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I guess humans will probably be vegetarian too, it doesn't say that specifically but it stands to reason.
Cool stuff...thanks for sharing
You should check out the book, "Opening the Seven Seals" by Richard D. Draper. Fascinating. The knowledge of what will come is better than the stories that we could make up. Thanks for posting that. Nice work!
Thanks for that... it almost sounds too good to be real. It's almost like a fabulous story we've grown up hearing, won't it be wonderful to live in such a place? It's too bad we have to go through the "bad parts" first.
I have to speak in church in a couple of weeks - I'll just take all my information from here thankyouverymuch!
I was going to tell you to eat popcorn and read a good novel after your last post - but it
sounds like you already broke
the spell and are back to
accomplishment!
Love, Grandma W
