Definition
The millennium (from Latin mille = thousand + annum = year) is the thousand-year period described in Rev. 20:1-6, during which Satan is bound and the martyrs reign with Christ. The three classical positions — premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism — interpret this period differently. In this corpus “millennium” refers both to the biblical period and to the theological debate surrounding it.
Usage in the Corpus
Stephen Jones
Jones understands the millennium as the Sabbath Millennium — the seventh millennial day of the creation week. After six thousand years of human history (six millennial working days), the seventh millennium arrives as the great cosmic sabbath. “We are now in the transition into the great Tabernacles Age, which will last a thousand years. It is the great Rest Year, the Sabbath Millennium.” During the millennium the apokatastasis processes continue through staged resurrections (wheat harvest, grape harvest). [Jones, Secrets of Time, Foreword]
George Warnock
Warnock does not use “millennium” as a technical term but his eschatology presupposes a golden rest period for the Church following the overcoming season. The eighth day of Tabernacles — symbolizing the new day after the sabbath rest — points to a new beginning. [Warnock, The Feast of Tabernacles, Ch. 11]
E.W. Bullinger
Bullinger’s numerical symbolism assigns 7 to completion and 8 to new beginning — a structural parallel to the Sabbath Millennium schema. His futurist eschatology anticipates a literal Kingdom era after the fall of the four Gentile empires. [Bullinger, Number in Scripture, Part I, Ch. I-II]
