Some think it's meaning in this age and that it's not a literal thousand years. Others believe it happens in the next age after Christ has returned.
Maybe what needs to be figured out first, what can occur during the thousand years and what can't.
I would like to pose some questions then.
1----can satan deceive any nations during the thousand years?
2----can satan wage war with anyone during the thousand years?
3----can saints be persecuted and killed during the thousand years?
4----can satan continue to do what is said of him in 1 Peter 5:8, during the thousand years?
5----does satan still act as god of this world during the thousand years, where he can still continue to blind the minds of them which believe not?
6----can anyone begin reigning with Christ after the fact, meaning they weren't yet reigning with Him when the thousand years initially began, but begin reigning with Him at some future point during the thousand years?
If you were to ask a Premil all 6 of these questions, I'm pretty sure all would be in full agreement about the answers. The answers to all 6 questions being no. But not everyone is Premil though.
