The Millennium is man's last opportunity and test. Here, when sin is restrained and

the Devil bound, man still proves utterly unable to stand, and the Millennium is the last of

a series that commenced with Eden, and which continued under patriarchal rule, the

dominion of law, and the reign of David, even to the advent of the Son of Man in His

humiliation on earth.

We have evidently placed in the Millennium prophecies that belong to a succeeding

age, and not to the reign of the overcomer. A day follows the Millennium when the

heavenly Jerusalem descends to the earth, to be the jeweled centre of a new earth, and

Peter tells us that the day of God follows the day of the Lord. The new heavens and the

new earth to which Peter directed his readers (II Pet. 3: 13) where, he said, "dwelleth

righteousness" is an aspect of truth to which we turn our attention in subsequent articles.
