The Millennial Reign of Christ

Views of the Millennium

A major division in the theology of the church has been concerning the question whether there will be a 1,000-year reign of Christ after His second coming. Both the postmillennial and the amillennial views hold that fulfillment of the Millennium is achieved before His second coming, with amillenarians more or less explaining away any literal fulfillment. Accordingly, this chapter should be carefully studied to see what its contribution is and whether it teaches a kingdom on earth of which Christ will be King of kings and Lord of lords following His second coming.

There is no suggestion in the text of any interruption of the natural consequences of the Second Coming.
