Tori G. led us in a scripture based discussion of the Millennium. We believe that Christ will come again, cleanse the Earth and then reign for a thousand years of peace love and joy.
Who will live in the Millennium? Those that live virtuous and honest lives, including those of all belief systems. People will still have their agency, although their righteous lives will bind Satan. Eventually, through learning, everyone with confess that Jesus Christ is the Savior.
What will the work of the Church be during the Millennium? There are two great works 1) the temple and 2) missionary work. During the Millennium we will be engaged in finding those living and dead and helping them to receive the full blessing of the temple. We will be assisted by resurrected beings.
What will it be like during the Millennium? The Earth will be renewed and receive it's paradisiacal glory. Satan will be bound, meaning he cannot tempt those living - this is accomplished because of the righteousness of the people. There will be peace over the entire Earth. The Governments will be righteous and Christ will be king over the Earth. He will reign in loving kindness. There will be no death. All things will be revealed.
During this discussion several sisters noted that now is time to prepare for the Millennium. We can start the work now by doing temple work, family history, growing spiritually and taking care of the Earth. The Millennium will be a time of growth and knowledge. Although all things will be revealed, it will be up to us to actually learn truths and grow.
Thanks Tori for a wonderful lesson!
