The Millenium in Revelation

When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg analyzes Revelation chapter 20 and the implications of the millennium. He explains that the pre-millennial, post-millennial, and amillennial views all have the second coming of Christ as the end goal in mind. From verses one to three, a thousand-year reign of Christ and the binding of Satan is discussed, leading to the belief of some that Jesus must return at the beginning of chapter 20 for this reign to work. However, Gregg argues that the evidence suggests the second coming of Christ does not occur at the beginning, but at the end of Revelation 20.
