More wisdom from Dr. Scott Hahn

If Revelation is the toughest book of the Bible to translate and interpret, then chapter 20 and the millennium and the first six verses are the most difficult part of the most difficult book to interpret properly. Catholics don’t get involved in the millenium debate very much. This is largely a Protestant controversy. Few issues divide Protestants as divisively and violently as the millennium. Generally speaking, there are three positions, but careful analysis shows four. The millennium refers to the 1,000 year reign of Christ. The question is: When is the millenium? Is it the 1,000 years before Christ’s second coming, or is the millennium after Christ’s second coming? And that divides up pre-millennialists and post-millennialists. And there’s a third school of thought which says there is no literal millennium. They’re known as a-millennialists.
