If I remember correctly, it refers to the period of time when Christ will rule on earth, which is upcoming, rather than the period of time which has past since Christ's birth.I actually thought belief in the Millennium was a universal Christian belief. So, let me ask a question here. Do the other Christian religions believe in the second coming of Christ? If not to look forward to the 1000 years of peace where Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and govern it, where the lamb and the lion will play together, where death will be but a twinkling of the eye and life will go on, what is there to look forward to? There would be no hope of a brighter future for the earth without belief in the Millennium. The world has a bright future. The globe lives too. Every thing in the earth looks forward to that day. I'm in shock. I honestly thought it was a universal Christian belief.
