Millennial Reign

Revelation 20:4-6

A⁴nd I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

⁵ But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

A thousand years in God's sight are as a day. The number one thousand magnifies completeness. It is not a literal stopwatch. It is a symbol of God's vast perspective on time.

The millennium in Revelation is a thousand-year reign of Christ. Whether literal or symbolic, the point is that Christ will reign and evil will be bound for a long, complete season.

God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. The number one thousand is a poetic way of saying "more than we can count." His resources and His reign are without limit.
