During the millennial kingdom, "Every morning I [Jesus] will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating all evil doers from the LORD's city" (Ps. 101.8). "No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence" (v.7). Ps. 101 is prophetic of the reign of Christ. It indicates there will be people punished during His reign, suggesting this is the messianic reign which will in the end deliver up the Father. "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet" (1 Cor. 15.23-25). "The end" is when there is no more sin in the New City and New Earth. In the millennial kingdom there is still sin but greatly subdued.
