Millennium in the Bible

    The word "Millennium" only appears in the Bible in Revelation 20, and 7 times!... and this chapter 20 is one of the most controversial of the Bible, and one of the less understood.

     To understand it properly, two facts should be considered:

1- The Order of the End of the World given by Jesus himself in Matt.24-25.

2- Chapters 20-21-22 of Revelation are but the Seventh and final Vision of John…
The 7 Great Visions and Cycles of Revelation: Each one of the Seven Visions is a full view of the Redemption of Christ, but each one emphasizing different aspects of His Redemption…      In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 20 does not follow in time after chapter 1… chapters 1-2-3 is the First Vision, and shows the whole view of the Redemption of Christ emphasizing different aspects of it… but Chapter 20-21-22 does not go in time after chapter 1-2-3… in fact, both of them are the same happenings but viewed from different perspectives.

Chapter 20 of Revelation:

    It is the one that mentions the Millennium 7 times. And the "Millennium" is not the central theme of the chapter, but "the condemnation of Satan".

It Shows 7 facts:

1- "Satan is bound for 1,000 years" (20:1-3):

    This "bind of Satan" already occurred at Calvary, as the Bible says: "despoiling the principalities and the powers, he made a public spectacle of them, leading them as captives in his triumphal procession"… "he has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son" (Colos.2:15, 1:13)… "the ruler of this world has been already condemned" (Jn.16:11).

    The "1,000 years" mean "many years", since the death of Christ to the end of the World, already 2,000 years!… and counting!… The Millennium is not to come, we are on it!

    "After that he must be loosed for a little while" (20:3).

2- The Millennium of the saved (20:4-5):

    Those who already died in the Lord are with Christ, they reign with Christ for these thousand years… surely the "good thief" of Luk.23:43 is not alone at Paradise with Jesus!… with him are all those who died in Christ, like Peter, and Paul, and Francis, and Therese…

3- Our Millennium (20:6):

    The "first Resurrection" is by "Baptism"… and it is our Millennium now!… every Catholic when baptized is officially named priest, prophet, and king, now!… in Christ!... the "first death" is by sin, the "second death" is Hell. For those death saved in Heaven the second death has no power... of course, for those saved still alive on earth, the second death still has power.

4- Satan released after the thousand years (20:7-9):

    Satan will come out to deceive the nations, "And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city"

… These are the years of the Antichrist of Revelation 13, with the Abomination of Desolation and the Great Tribulation of  Matt.24:15 and 21. See the Time of the Antichrist.

5-Armageddon (20:9b):

    "And fire came down from heaven, and consumed them": Satan, the beast, and the false prophet, mentioned in the next verse 10. It is the Armageddon of Rev.16:16.

6- Satan thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur (20:10):

    The eternal final place for Satan, the beast, and the false prophet, for ever and ever..

7-The Judgment of The Great White Throne (20:11-14):

    It is the Final Judgment of Matt.25:31-46… with the same "measure stick": By the works written in the book of life… "according to what they had done". "And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done"... here is mentioned again the "second death": The lake of fire, Hell!.

8- Chapters 21 and 22 are continuation of the same Seventh and final Vision of Revelation. And in each vision de order of events are related according to the time of their fulfillment:
    1- The new heaven and the new earth, Rev.21:1-7
    2- The lake of burning sulphur for the followers of Satan, mentioning for the third time the "second death", Rev.21:8.
    3- The new Jerusalem with the 7 new glorious things, in Rev.21:9 to 22:21.
