What Do We Mean by the Millenium?

1. The resurrection and re-union of the saints.

2. Their reward and reign.

3. The complete exclusion of Satan from the earth.

4. The personal and continual presence of Jesus with them on earth.

5. The suppression of all enemies and the universal reign of righteousness.

6. The duration of a thousand years.

7. The immediately succeeding revolt of Satan and sinful man, and the final judgment of the wicked.

If there was no other reference in the Bible to this time of blessing, these elements alone would be sufficient to constitute a state and time of exalted glory and happiness.



--A.B. Simpson, The Four-fold Gospel
