Temporal Millenium (1000 years of
peace)
The following is excerpted from Ruben benAbraham's Millenium
- Millenium.
The word millennium signifies a thousand years. The popular view
of what is called the temporal millennium is that the gospel of Jesus
Christ will yet so far control the minds and hearts of men that the
whole world will be converted, and become holy by its influence, and
that this happy state will continue one thousand years; and that during
this time Christ will reign with his people spiritually, and that
at the close of the millennium he will come the second time when the
judgment will take place. But a careful examination is sufficient
to fully convince the intelligent student that the sacred scriptures
do not teach that at any period of time all men will be converted
to God.
