Excerpt from The Coming of Christ, Both Pre-Millennial and Imminent All Christians believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to this world a second time. All are not agreed as to when He will come. A large majority believe He will come after the Millennium. The word "Millennium" is compounded of two Latin words, mille, a thousand, and annum, a year. The Greek equivalent is Chiliad, a thousand. By Millennium is understood, popularly, the reign of Christ for a thousand years on or over the earth. The fact as to such a reign is set forth in the book of the Revelation, twentieth chapter and fourth verse: "They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Those who believe that Christ will not come till after the thousand years, expect His kingdom to be introduced and established, while He is away, through the Gospel. They suppose the Gospel will be preached in all the earth, every soul will at last hear and accept it, all will be regenerated, the knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters the face of the deep, the spirit of holiness in man will cast out the spirit of wickedness and sin, there will be neither jealousy nor envy, war will cease, swords will be beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks, the moral health of men will exalt the sanitary condition of the body, and human life shall pass on into the count of centuries.
