The fourth element of the millennium is that spiritual life will come to the nations. Israel won't be alone in its renewed spiritual life. The prophets clarified that the earth will experience a population explosion during the millennium. With the curse suspended or at least significantly decreased, Isaiah and Jeremiah said infants would no longer die, and everyone would *"fill out their days,"* so that death at age one hundred would be considered young (Isaiah 65:20, Jeremiah 30:20).

Today, we pick up in Mark 13 with Jesus teaching his disciples about the end times. Last week, we studied his second coming, which takes place before his millennial reign. Now, we will look to the book of Revelation to learn more about the time of his 1,000-year reign.
