A millennium is a period of 1000 years. There was a lot of talk about the millennium 10 years ago when we went to the 2nd millennium since Christ began. After the rapture (which we believe will happen soon) and the second coming of Christ at the end of the tribulation, Christ will set up His rule and reign on earth for a period of 1000 years. It has nothing to do with our current dating system. Not setting dates, but THAT millennium could began in 20 years or less.)

That's why I said "20 years or less". I personally don't believe that it's that far away, but even if it were, we're not waiting for the millennium to come next. Next on the calendar will be the rapture--which could happen before I press the button to reply.

How I would love sit down with all my brothers and sisters in Christ to discuss the upcoming events of prophecy. There are still wars to come and a tribulation of 7 years of dreadful events that yet to transpire on the earth. Then a millenium of trancendant glory that none of us could ever imagine in all of its reality. Yet it will come and the church of Christ having been caught up with the Lord in the air 7 years+ earlier and still filled from the feast of the marriage supper of the Lamb, will be a large part of it as we minister with the Lord during that time.

The rapture is on the horizon. Be watchful-be ready-serve the Lord while it is still day.

God bless
