The verse promises those in the first resurrection will reign as priests with Christ for a thousand years.
The episode begins by stating its objective: to remember the promise of the millennial kingdom to increase faith. It opens with the key memorization verse from Revelation 20:6 about the first resurrection. The host then reads Revelation 20:1-6, describing Satan's binding for a thousand years and the reign of martyrs with Christ. The theme is introduced as a fundamental point of faith that generates hope. Jesus refers to this period as 'the regeneration' in Matthew 19:28. Peter calls it 'the times of the restoration of all things' in Acts 3:21. The prophecy from Daniel 2:34-35 is cited, where a stone cut without hands destroys a statue and becomes a great mountain, symbolizing Christ's kingdom. Daniel 7:13-14 is referenced for the vision of the Son of Man receiving an everlasting dominion. The episode shifts to describe how the kingdom will be established. Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 16:15-16 mention the battle of Armageddon. Zechariah 14:4 describes Christ's feet standing on the Mount of Olives, causing it to split. Zechariah 14:8-10 and Revelation 1:7 depict Christ's visible return in clouds. Matthew 24:30 is quoted about the sign of the Son of Man appearing. The promises for those in the kingdom are then detailed. Luke 20:36 states they will be like angels and cannot die. Isaiah 33:24 says there will be no sickness. Isaiah 43:1-2 promises protection from elemental harm. Revelation 7:16-17 describes an end to hunger, thirst, and tears. Isaiah 65:18-25 paints a picture of joy, secure housing, fruitful labor, and peace among animals. Sofonías 3:12-13 mentions an end to lies and fear. The inhabitants are described next. Zacarías 14:16 mentions mortal survivors from the nations worshipping annually. Isaiah 65:20 and Zacarías 8:4 refer to long life. Isaiah 11:8 and Zacarías 8:5 describe children playing safely. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 mentions the living being caught up with the resurrected. The earthly changes are outlined. Psalm 72:16, Joel 2:18-19, and Isaiah 30:23 describe extreme agricultural productivity and abundant rain. Isaiah 2:20 says weapons will be turned into farming tools and war will cease. Zacarías 13:2 states false prophets and idols will be eliminated. The kingdom is characterized as just and well-organized, with judges restored as in Isaiah 32:1 and 1:25-26. The episode concludes by calling the kingdom a true paradise and citing Revelation 14:12 on the perseverance of the saints.
