The Millennium Will Be a Time of Peace

John W. Welch

In verse 15 the prophet Zenos says that "the time cometh speedily that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men." The Lord is going to bind Satan before the Millennium can begin, and the Millennium will be ushered in by the power of God. Satan will be bound and become powerless by the power of God as well as by the righteousness of the members of the Church. In verses 16–26, Nephi talks about the word righteous and righteousness. These words appear here ten times (vv. 16, 17, 17, 17, 19, 21, 21, 24, 26, 26), pointing to a complete righteousness.
