The thousand years

 

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. - Revelation 20:4

 

The thousand year reign of Christ and with Christ does not get much of a mention here in Revelation. Obviously, not being God, I can’t know why, but I think it is because it is mentioned all throughout the prophets.

 

This 1000 years is going to be a whole different world.

 

Jesus will reign

The whole earth will be filled with His glory

There will be pilgrimages to sees Him

There will be no war

We will reign with Him

Animals will live in peace

Crops will be fruitful

Lifespans will be greatly extended

Illnesses will be willed

And so much more

 

And all of this is just setting the stage for the new heavens and earth. What a time to look forward to.
