Amillennialism reads the thousand years as the present reign of Christ.
They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Not a future earthly kingdom after the appearing,
but the reign already underway.
Sincere believers read Revelation 20 in more than one way.
Amillennialism is not the denial of a millennium. It is a reading of the thousand years as the present reign of Jesus, from His resurrection and ascension until He comes. The binding of Satan is read as a restraint that lets the gospel go to the nations, not as the removal of all evil. The first resurrection is often read as new life in Christ, or as the reign of the martyrs with Him now. The coming, the resurrection of the body, and the judgment remain future. The earthly golden age before or after the appearing is what this view does not expect.
Christ reigns. Amillennialism says the thousand years are that reign now. The appearing is still ahead. Describe the view without making it the test of fellowship.

Amillennialism reads that reign as present.

The name does not mean no reign.

Amillennialism reads that reign as present, not as a later earthly kingdom.
He must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The name does not mean no reign. Christ reigns. The appearing is still ahead. Describe the reading. Do not make the timetable the gospel.
