Millennium has Already Begun
Times and Seasons, Vol. 6, No. 12, July 1, 1845, pg 956; “Brethren and sisters, for the sake of your dead and for the sake of yourselves, be faithful and have no feelings in your hearts against one another, but learn to suffer wrong rather than do wrong, and by so doing we will outstrip all our enemies and conquer the evil one, for know ye not that there is Zion? know ye not that the millennium has commenced? We have had Zion upon the earth this fourteen years. Peace reigns among this people which is Zion.”
Revelation 20:6; “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
1 Corinthians 15:23, 51-55; “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”
Paul tells us the first resurrection will take place at “His Coming” and when “the trumpet sounds” but to date, this hasn’t taken place.
When the first resurrection happens Jesus returns! This is when the “millennium” begins and this is also depicted in Revelation 20:6. The other problem with this prophecy is what Bruce McConkie had to say:
Polygamy to Commence after Jesus’ 2nd Coming
Mormon Doctrine, pg 578; “Obviously the holy practice [of polygamy] will commence again after the Second Coming of the Son of Man and the ushering in of the millennium.”
