What Will Our Jobs Be During the Millennium?
The Bible does not leave this question to speculation. Scripture repeatedly teaches that believers will have real responsibilities, real authority, and real work during Christ’s 1,000-year reign on earth.
What Is the Millennium?
The Millennial Kingdom is the literal reign of Jesus Christ on earth for 1,000 years following His Second Coming (Revelation 20:1–6). Satan is bound, righteousness rules, and Christ governs the nations from Jerusalem.

This is not retirement. This is assignment.
We Will Reign With Christ
Scripture is explicit:
“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection… they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”
— Revelation 20:6
Believers will serve as co-rulers under Christ, exercising delegated authority.
Jesus affirmed this in His parables:
“You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.”
— Matthew 25:21
“Have authority over ten cities.”
— Luke 19:17
Your faithfulness now determines your responsibility then.
Government and Administration:
The nations will still exist (Zechariah 14:16–17). They will require leadership, justice, and oversight.
Believers will serve as:
Governors and administrators.
Judges enforcing righteous law.
Representatives of Christ’s authority.
“Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?”
— 1 Corinthians 6:2
Priests and Teachers-
Revelation describes believers as priests of God:
“They shall be priests of God and of Christ.”
— Revelation 20:6
Priests mediate truth, teach God’s law, and guide worship.
Isaiah confirms worldwide biblical instruction:
“For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
— Isaiah 2:3
You will help teach nations how to live under Christ’s rule.
Restoration and Stewardship of the Earth:
The curse is lifted in stages (Isaiah 11; Isaiah 65). Creation flourishes again.
Believers will:
Oversee agriculture and industry.
Manage restored ecosystems.
Steward cities and land.
Work existed before sin (Genesis 2:15).
The Millennium restores work without frustration.
Judges of Angels and the Fallen World-
Paul writes something astonishing:
“Do you not know that we shall judge angels?”
— 1 Corinthians 6:3
This likely involves fallen angels and demonic beings who opposed God. The redeemed will participate in Christ’s final administration of justice.
Worship and Service in Jerusalem-
Worship will be central, not symbolic.
“Everyone who is left of all the nations… shall go up from year to year to worship the King.”
— Zechariah 14:16
Believers will assist in:
Organizing worship.
Teaching the nations reverence for Christ.
Serving in the administration of His kingdom.
The Key Truth-
Your eternal future is not floating on clouds.
It is:
Purposeful.
Structured.
Righteous.
Meaningful.
God is preparing you now for responsibilities then.
“If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.”
— 2 Timothy 2:12
Summary-
During the Millennium, believers will serve as:
Rulers under Christ.
Judges of the nations.
Priests and teachers.
Stewards of the earth.
Administrators of righteousness.
This is why faithfulness today matters eternally.
