No — the kingdom of God will never ultimately end; it will be interrupted for a season but will continue forever into eternity.
The Bible declares that the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44), and the kingdom given to the Son is one whose dominion shall not pass away (Daniel 7:14). Les Feldick teaches that while the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time, the kingdom will only be interrupted, not ended. After the new heaven and new earth appear, the kingdom continues on into eternity.
Daniel 2:44 — The God of heaven sets up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed — the clearest biblical answer to whether the kingdom ends.
Daniel 7:14 — The kingdom given to the Son is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away and shall not be destroyed.
Revelation 20:7 — Shows the thousand-year reign has an expiration point when Satan is loosed — the interruption Les describes.
Revelation 21:1 — After the first heaven and earth pass away, a new heaven and new earth appear, where the kingdom continues.
The God of heaven will set up a kingdom, Daniel writes, 'which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever' (Daniel 2:44). Daniel 7:14 says of the Son of man: 'his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.' Revelation 20:7 shows a boundary on the thousand-year period: 'And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.' Then Revelation 21:1 records, 'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.' The biblical record repeatedly uses the terms 'for ever,' 'everlasting,' and 'shall not be destroyed' for God's kingdom.
Les Feldick teaches that the kingdom of God will never ultimately end. He emphasizes that the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time — 'the Scripture says a thousand years' — yet the same kingdom economy goes right on into all eternity (Clip 2). The kingdom will be interrupted when Satan is released for a little while, but then the new heaven and the new earth appear, and the kingdom just continues on into eternity (Clips 1, 7). Les views the thousand-year kingdom as 'just an introduction to the eternal state.' The Old Testament prophecies concerning the kingdom use the terminology 'forever, forever, eternally,' so Christ will rule on the throne of David, not for a thousand years, but forever (Clips 4, 5, 6). Eternity will not be spent floating on clouds; it will be an active Kingdom on a new earth, a carbon copy of the millennial kingdom, with tremendous activity and production (Clips 2, 3, 6).
Yes. Les Feldick states plainly: 'the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time. Absolutely it is. The Scripture says a thousand years' (Clip 2). While Revelation stipulates a thousand years, the kingdom extends beyond that into eternity.
Les teaches that the kingdom will be interrupted — it will be lifted off the planet long enough for a whole new planet to come on the scene. Satan will be released for a little while, and then comes the new heaven and the new earth, and the kingdom continues on into eternity (Clips 1, 3, 7).
Les says 'all of the situation concerning the Kingdom is just an introduction to the eternal.' The thousand-year kingdom is the beginning of eternity, and the eternal state will be based on the same set of circumstances — the new heavens and the new earth will be a carbon copy of the Kingdom (Clips 3, 4, 6).
Les explains that eternity will not be floating around on a cloud in some invisible spirit form. Instead, it will be a Kingdom on a new earth with tremendous activity and tremendous production — an active, busy existence (Clips 2, 3, 6).

You see, the sovereign God is in control of the whole thing. You know, that's why I like to start in Genesis, you know, the plan of God for the whole age of history. It's all architecturally drawn up from eternity past. Nothing takes him by surprise. Everything is right. In fact, again, I was thinking on the way up.
The Kingdom Shall Not Pass Away
Les teaches that Christ sets up a kingdom of eternal dominion which shall not pass away. It will be interrupted when Satan is released, but after the new heaven and new earth it continues on into eternity.
The Millennium Is Limited; the Kingdom Is Eternal
Les states that the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time, yet the same kingdom economy goes right on into all eternity — and eternity will not be spent floating on a cloud.
A New Earth Comes on the Scene
The kingdom will be interrupted and lifted off the planet long enough for a new heaven and new earth to appear — a carbon copy of the Kingdom as seen in Revelation and the Old Testament.
The Kingdom Is an Introduction to Eternity
Les says the Kingdom, though stipulated as a thousand years, is the beginning of eternity and just an introduction to the eternal state.
Christ Rules on David's Throne Forever
After the thousand years end, Christ rules on the throne of David forever, not for a thousand years — so there has to be a continuation of the kingdom.
Old Testament Promises: Forever and Forever
Old Testament prophecies call the kingdom 'forever, forever, eternally'; the thousand-year reign is just an introduction to an eternal state of tremendous activity and production.
The Kingdom Continues Into Eternity
Les repeats that the kingdom will be interrupted when Satan is released, but the new heaven and new earth usher in the kingdom that continues on into eternity — it shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 2:44: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
The foundational promise that the kingdom God sets up will never be destroyed — the direct answer to the question.
Daniel 7:14: And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Les directly quotes this verse — 'his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed' — to prove the kingdom does not permanently end.
Revelation 20:7: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison;
This marks the end of the thousand-year period and the interruption of the kingdom on the present earth.
Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
After the thousand years, the new heaven and new earth appear and the kingdom continues into eternity.
No — the kingdom of God shall not be destroyed and its dominion shall not pass away. Les Feldick teaches that while the thousand-year reign is limited, the kingdom continues into eternity after the new heaven and new earth appear.
Not exactly. The thousand-year reign is limited in time, but it is the introduction to the eternal state. The same kingdom economy continues on into eternity.
The kingdom will be lifted off the planet when Satan is released for a little while after the millennium. Then a new heaven and new earth come on the scene, and the kingdom continues forever.
It will not be floating on a cloud. Eternity will be a Kingdom on a new earth with tremendous activity and production, based largely on the same circumstances as the thousand-year reign.
