124. What is the Millennium?

What is the Millennium?

“Millennium” means 1,000 years, and the Millennium is the thousand years’ reign of Christ on earth after His second coming (Revelation 20:4). There are many prophecies about Christ as an earthly king which are not yet fulfilled but which will be fulfilled in His millennial reign on earth. He will occupy the throne of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6; Psalms 2:6; Zechariah 14:9). This does not mean that He shall all the time sit on a throne in Jerusalem. The king of England occupies the throne of England, but he very seldom literally sits upon that throne. It may be that much of the time Christ will be with His bride in the New Jerusalem, and not in the old literal Jerusalem here on earth, but He will reign as king on earth for 1,000 years.
