This section of Revelation introduces God in the Feast of Tabernacles. While the righteous live with God, Satan and the dead bodies of the wicked are confined to earth. God forces him to inherit the sanctuary he created. The Bible says that "the meek shall inherit the earth". Apparently the wicked will also inherit the earth as dust under our feet.

The symbols used are specifically from the fifth curse. The people will be exiled so that the land can enjoy its Sabbaths. The righteous are exiled to heaven. The wicked are exiled to the grave. The land enjoys the 6000 years of annual Sabbaths that have not been kept. The people in heaven keep the 6000 years of weekly Sabbaths that have not been kept. It is Satan who prevented their rest and he is confined on the largest prison planet as a prisoner of war.

Let us review what has happened before the thousand years began.

* Persecution. The church has been persecuted because they would not accept the mark of the beast.

* Armageddon. The wicked surround the saints and try to kill them during the sixth plague.

* Second Coming. Christ rescues them and all the righteous dead in the seventh plague. He kills the wicked and imprisons Satan.

Our study of Revelation 20 and the Millennium can be divided into three main sections:

1. Beginning. What takes place at the beginning of the 1000 years?

2. During. What takes place during the 1000 years?

3. End. What takes place at the end of the 1000 years?
