10 Facts About The Millennial Reign Of Christ

5. The Word of God will be taught to all nations - All the nations will apparently travel to Israel during the millennial reign to learn the word of the Lord and to bring it back to their nations.

Micah 4:1-2 In the last days

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established

as the highest of the mountains;

it will be exalted above the hills,

and peoples will stream to it.

Many nations will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the temple of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us his ways,

so that we may walk in his paths.”

The law will go out from Zion,

the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

6. People will live in peace, the nations will no longer war, and weapons of warfare will be shifted toward agricultural use. Could the millennial reign be a time when the Earth returns to a more agrarian economy?

Isaiah 2:4 ESV "He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore."

Isaiah 11:6-9 ESV "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."

7. Messiah Jesus will rule from a "holy mountain" in Jerusalem, which could be a rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, and/or it could be a situation like Mt. Sinai where the nations like Israel shall gather around the mountain and send representatives up to consult with King Jesus. Hard to say for certain, again, speculations only.

Zechariah 14:4 "On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward."

8. For one thousand long years King Jesus will reign over the Earth, through his Lieutenants the tribulation saints, including the 144,000 saved out of the twelve tribes of Israel. I assume the 144,000 will reign in various regions of Israel, while the tribulation saints will reign over various countries across the nations of the Earth.

From what I can tell, the survivors of the great tribulation, men and women who did not take the mark of the beast, but also did not become Christians either, will be the residents of the Earth. I assume their numbers would be in the billions. I would speculate probably about 33% of the remaining Earth's population that refused the mark, but also never became a Christian. Maybe less than that though, could be about 10% of say, so assuming there were about 10 billion population of the planet at the time of the onset of the great tribulation, this is speculative of course, then maybe 1 billion people? So maybe 1-3 billion people? Then again it could be much less, given the severity of the last judgments in Revelation. It could even be less than 500 million. Or under 100 million. Hard to say for certain. Estimating those numbers is simple speculation. Interesting to consider though. Additionally, if the residents of the Earth continue to have marry and have children, by the end of the one thousand years the population of the Earth could be much higher. You'd also have to factor in lifespan during this time, would be 70-80 years, or much longer? Hard to say.
