"Are you talking about an earthly kingdom where sin and death continue after Christ returns, even though He destroyed sin and death at Calvary?"
The Lord's coming millennial kingdom upon the earth will be much like today .... there will be mortals who will need salvation, and so will their offspring
Differences
The Lord will be ruling from Jerusalem in person, His true immortal ecclesia will be ruling with Him on the earth
The Lord will sit in judgment with direct control and response over the mortals of the nations .... His reactions will be immediate and the mortals will have a free will, but not allowed to rebel as humans of the past have done
The mortals of the millennial period will not war among themselves as in the past
Satan will be imprisoned in the abyss so that he cannot deceive the nations of the millennial kingdom like he has been doing since Adam and Eve
Natural surroundings will be vastly improved, but He will use the weather to control where necessary
And all of the mortals of the nations will have to go up to Jerusalem periodically at His calling .... if not He will discipline those who do not comply
At the end of the period He will allow for Satan's release and this will generate another human rebellion which the Lord will quickly end
He will then gather all of the human spirits of the unbelieving dead from the beginning of human creation and send them to His lake of fire [the second death]
..... and then His eternal kingdom with a new heavens and new earth will begin and last forever .... only His true ecclesia from all ages will enter
