Others believe in a thousand year reign, but they would say that it already has taken place, having begun with the conversion of Constantine in the fourth century after Christ. We disagree with this view. Others say that we are in the millennium now. I also question this view, because if our modern history is indicative of the millennial rule of Christ, we are in deep trouble. So we believe that millennium is still in the future.
Millennium comes from two Latin words, mille , meaning thousand, and annus , meaning a year.
It speaks about a thousand year rule of Jesus Christ on this earth. Now this concept of Christ's rulership is not new. This phrase has two meanings. First, it means the reign of God now. Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, was exalted and seated at the right hand of God the Father, and he rules as sovereign Lord especially over those who believe in him.
