Episode #235: A Conversation about the Millennium

November 19, 2025 • Saints Peter and Paul - Houghton, MI

In this week's episode Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about the Millennium. When you start paying attention to the different "end times" preachers and books, the concept of the millennium plays a big role in their doctrine. The idea comes from Revelation 20 which talks about a 1000 year reign. Millennium means "1000" and that's where the whole idea gets its origin.

BUT - what does the Bible really say about this? Is Jesus really going to reign in the city of Jerusalem in the nation of Israel (where it stands today) for a literal 1000 years before he restores all things and brings about the new creation? Or, 1000 years a symbolic number like all of the other symbolic ideas throughout the Book of Revelation?

We follow the orthodox/historical reading of the Bible which reads 1000 years as a symbolic number describing Jesus' CURRENT ruling and reigning at the right hand of God the Father.

We hope you listen closely to this conversation as you, too, are part of God's ruling and reigning people even this day.

We hope you enjoy it!
