Reign, Christ's

 
This will take place after Rev. 19., and will last 1000 years (hence called the millennium), at the close of which Christ will deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father (1 Cor. 15:2424Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (1 Corinthians 15:24)). Just as sin reigned unto death up to Christ, and since then grace has reigned unto life, so then righteousness will reign over the whole earth. See MILLENNIUM.
