After the Tribulation

How Life in the Millennium Will Look


At the Battle of Armageddon, Jesus will return to defend Israel against her enemies and establish His Millennial Kingdom. This issue explores that last battle and what life in the Millennial Kingdom will be like. It includes a special feature explaining Christ’s return for His church in light of ancient Jewish betrothal customs.

Jesus’ promise to come again was familiar talk to His disciples. That’s because it was connected to a special, joyous occasion expertly described in this article.

Today Israel is besieged on all sides. It seems like the little Jewish state has noth- ing but enemies. But someday the tide will turn. God has a plan, and here it is.

Entering the Millennium

First the Messiah will level the forces against Him in the Valley of Megiddo. Then He will usher in a new era. If you’re interested in how things will unfold, you’ll love this article.

Living in a Perfect World

Long life. No disease. Tame animals. These are merely a few characteristics of the Millennium. There are many more, some of which may even surprise you.
