What do we know about the Millennium and how can that give us hope for the future?

These are some of the scriptures listed under "Millennium" in the Topical Guide:
   - Isaiah 65:17 - "I create new heavens and a new earth"
   - Ezekiel 36:35 - "land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden"
   - Hosea 2:18 - "I will . . . make them to lie down safely"
   - Joel 3:17 - "Lord your God dwelling in Zion"
   - Matthew 16:28 - "Son of Man coming in his kingdom"
   - Matthew 25:31 - "Son of Man shall come in his glory"
   - Revelation 20:4 - "lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years"
   - 1 Nephi 22:26 - "because of the righteousness . . . Satan has no power"
   - 2 Nephi 21:9 - "earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord"
   - 2 Nephi 30:18 - "all things . . . shall at that day be revealed"
   - D&C 88:110 - "Satan shall be bound . . . a thousand years"
   - JS-H 1:38 - "coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord"
   - Article of Faith 10 - "Christ will reign personally upon the earth"

From these scriptures, we can see that at Christ's Second Coming, He will rule and reign on the earth for one thousand years. During this time, Satan will be bound and he cannot tempt us. The earth will be filled with missionary work and temples.

How can we use this knowledge of the Millennium to live today in these troubled times without fear? 

Elder Boyd K. Packer, in his talk "Counsel to Youth" from October 2011 General Conference, said that none of us will make a major mistake without first being warned by the Spirit. Even though we live in troubled times, we are still blessed with the gift of the Spirit to keep us on the right track.

The family is the eternal plan. If we follow God's eternal plan, we will be blessed with strong righteous families who will last to the Millennium.

All those who have bodies have power over those who don't. Satan has power to tempt us, but because we have bodies we have even more power to overcome those temptations. We can be aware of when he is tempting us, and we can use the strength of the Lord to overcome our trials and have hope for the future.

All of this teaches me that I don't have to worry so much about the world--I just have to live righteously and protect my family. I can draw strength from God through prayer. His power is stronger than Satan's power.
