VI.Jesus the King
Jesus will always be the Lord of his Church and we will forever enjoy a very special relationship with Him. We have trusted in Him by faith alone without hard, concrete proof of His existence.

In the millennium, however, the Church Age will have ended and all mortal people (who can never become part of His Church) will have a different relationship with Him. They will have a very definite code of conduct which will be strictly enforced. Because of this there will be virtually no crime or disturbance to the peace and prosperity they will enjoy. Yet for all this, there will be a final rebellion at the end of the 1000 years in which the last of the malcontents will be killed (Revelation 20:7–9).
