The Millennium

Sermon synopsis: Some interpret this 1000 years allegorically. They understand the 1000 years as merely a figurative way of saying “a long period of time,” not a literal, physical reign of Jesus Christ on the earth. However, 6 times in Revelation 20:1-7, the millennial kingdom is specifically said to be 1000 years in length. If God wished to communicate “a long period of time,” He could have easily done so without explicitly and repeatedly mentioning an exact time frame 6 times in 7 verses.
