Revelation 20:1–6: What the Millennium Means
Revelation 20:1–6 answers the question of the millennium by fixing our attention on God's control of the deceiver's timetable and on those who reign with Christ. The thousand years names a real, God-set period, but the passage's weight falls on who reigns and who is kept safe.
What Does Millennium Mean in Revelation 20?
The word millennium is not in the text of Revelation 20. It is a Latin label later readers gave to the period the passage calls a thousand years, and the passage's point is that Christ's victory over the deceiver is certain.
