Synopsis

Excerpt from The Millennium

At the outset of the discussion of this question it is well to state certain definitions upon which we are agreed. The term Millennium — Mille-annum — a thousand years — as used by both Jewish and Christian scholars, stands for the doc trine of an era of righteous government upon the earth to last a thousand years. Jewish writers, throughout the Talmud, hold that this Millennium will be chie?y characterized by the deliverance of the Jews from all their enemies, recovery of Palestine and the literal reign of their Messiah in unequalled splendor and prosperity therein. Pre-millennial Christians hold much in common with the Jews, but also that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah, that He is to return to the earth and overthrow Satan, all ungodly governments and lawlessness; and establish a king dom of righteousness, having the Church, with himself, as sovereign, Jerusalem as the Capital, regathered and con verted Israel as the center, and all nations included, in a universal world-wide kingdom of righteous government. Post-millennialists hold that the present preaching of the gospel will result in the conversion of the world and usher in a golden era of righteousness and a government of jus tice and peace, to last a thousand years; after which, the Lord will return for a general judgment and introduction of an eternal state. The Scriptures mean the Holy Bible, as contained in the Old and New Testaments. Our question asks whether these Scriptures teach that there is to be any such Millennium.
