How will Christ rule during the Millennial Kingdom?
Christ will rule as the absolute ruler of a benevolent dictatorship during the thousand-year Millennial Kingdom. Satan is locked up, sin is absent, and sickness and death are virtually gone, making it a glorious time of unprecedented population growth that will rival the population explosion between Adam and the flood.
Les explains that during the Millennial Kingdom, Satan is locked up, so there is no sin. Christ will be the absolute ruler—a benevolent dictatorship—over a glorious time. Because sin, sickness, and death are virtually removed, there will be a massive population explosion, possibly rivaling the population growth between Adam and the flood. Two classes enter the Kingdom: the remnant of Israel, which will be the greatest nation, and a small number of surviving Gentiles from each nation. Les feels, though he cannot prove it from Scripture, that each Gentile will return to their homeland as a believer and become seed stock for the new generations during the thousand-year reign.
