What will the new heaven and new earth be like compared with the millennium?
The new heaven and new earth will have the same set of circumstances as the thousand-year millennium. The millennium ends through the providential acts of a sovereign God and great turmoil, but the new creation will replicate the conditions of that thousand-year rule and reign.
Les explains that the thousand-year kingdom, called the millennium, is a period of rule and reign that ends by the providential acts of a sovereign God. Everything will go through great turmoil before the new heaven and new earth appear. When they come on the scene, however, the circumstances will be the same as those seen during the thousand years. So the new heaven and new earth continue the same conditions as the millennial reign, even though the millennium itself concludes with turmoil.
