Will Christ reign on earth for 1,000 years?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for Feb. 11,’09

The book of Revelation mentions a thousand years reign – but does not mention Christ on earth. John said “the souls of those who had been beheaded” will reign with Christ (Rev. 20:4-6). Ray Summers (a Baptist) wrote, “no one would have ever dreamed of a literal thousand years of Christ’s reign upon the earth (setting up a throne in Jerusalem, etc.)… Yet whole systems of eschatology…have been constructed on this precarious basis of highly symbolic verses” (Worthy Is The Lamb, p. 203). Sunday (Feb. 15; 6:00 P.M.), I will conclude a series of lessons on the book of Revelation with a study of Premillennial theories – The General theory (believed by most main-line denominations), Jehovah’s Witnesses theory, Adventist theory and Herbert W. Armstrong’s theory. We will show what is wrong with each of them. We hope you will visit.
