The Millennium: Will Christ Reign for a Thousand Years? Dr. Richard' Pratt’s answer to this question
Here is an example of the various approaches to the thousand year period being debated by godly men who differ in their understanding of the text, An Evening of Eschatology – Premillennialism, Amillennialism, Postmillennialism. Recorded in 2009, John Piper moderates a two hour discussion between Jim Hamilton (professor of New Testament at Southern Seminary in Louisville represents Premillennialism), Sam Storms (pastor of Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City represents Amillennialism), and Doug Wilson (pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho represents Postmillennialism).
