Sister Lynn McCormack taught us about the Millennium, during this 1000 years there will be peace, love and joy. Satan will be bound because of the righteousness of those on the earth; they will not allow him power to tempt them.
Life will be similar to what it is today, except that everything will be done in righteousness. People will eat and drink and will wear clothing; they will continue to plant and harvest crops and build houses. All good people will continue to live on the earth, not just members of the church and they will continue to have children. Technology will be available and used for good. Agency will continue through the Millennium; all will continue to be free to choose. There will be no death as we know it; people will be changed from their mortal condition to an immortals condition when they have lived to an old age.
Christ will come to the earth to reign. He will be the head of the government. John Taylor taught: “The Lord will be king over all the earth, and all mankind literally under his sovereignty, and every nation under the heavens will have to acknowledge his authority, and bow to his scepter. Those who serve him in righteousness will have communications with God, and with Jesus; will have the ministering of angels, and will know the past, the present, and the future, and other people, who may not yield full obedience to his laws, nor be fully instructed in his covenants, will, nevertheless, have to yield full obedience to this government. For it will be the reign of God upon the earth, and he will enforce his laws, and command that obedience from the nations of the world which is legitimately his right.
There will be two great works for members of the Church during this time, missionary work and temple work. Immortals beings will frequently visit the earth and will help with the government and other work. The knowledge and experience gained in our earth lives will be of benefit during the millennium, therefore we should be anxiously engaged in this work now.
All things will be revealed, “things most precious”, see D&C 101: 32-24.
This will truly be a glorious time!
Thank you Sister McCormack, we’ve enjoyed the lessons you’ve taught us!
