Bible

Millennium a thousand years; the name given to the era mentioned in Rev. 20:1-7. Some maintain that Christ will personally appear on earth for the purpose of establishing his kingdom at the beginning of this millennium. Those holding this view are usually called "millenarians." On the other hand, it is maintained, more in accordance with the teaching of Scripture, we think, that Christ's second advent will not be premillennial, and that the right conception of the prospects and destiny of his kingdom is that which is taught, e.g., in the parables of the leaven and the mustard-seed. The triumph of the gospel, it is held, must be looked for by the wider and more efficient operation of the very forces that are now at work in extending the gospel; and that Christ will only come again at the close of this dispensation to judge the world at the "last day." The millennium will thus precede his coming. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Literature

Millennium means simply a thousand years. (Latin, mille annus.) In Rev. xx. 2 it is said that an angel bound Satan a thousand years, and in verse 4 we are told of certain martyrs who will come to life again, and "reign with Christ a thousand years." "This," says St. John, "is the first resurrection;" and this is what is meant by the millennium. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Millennialism

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Millennialism (or Chiliasm) in Christian theology, literature and folk religion, is a belief not universally held by Christians, that history will end with a Golden Age, a Paradise on earth when universal peace will reign, when all of the inhabitants will dwell in prosperity and the cosmos will be healed. These expectations have usually, but not always corresponded with the expected Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Millennialism is also a doctrine of Zoroastrianism concerning successive thousand year periods, each of which will end in a cataclysm of heresy and destruction, until the final destruction of evil and of the spirit of evil by a triumphant king of peace at the end of the final millenial age (supposed by some to be 2000 C.E.). "Then Soshyant makes the creatures again pure, and the resurrection and future existence occur" (Zand-i Vohuman Yasht 3:62).

Christian millennialism

For Christian millennialism, the decisive event that will happen sometime in the future is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (sometimes also referred to as Doomsday). Christ is going to come into this world a second time in order to end the world and to pass a Last Judgement on all humankind, both living and dead. Thereafter there will be no earthly existence or earthly history but only Heaven and Hell. Picturing that moment as a time of universal joy and happiness, when the lion would lie down with the lamb, and swords would be re-forged into ploughshares, the early Christians in the midst of persecutions were gladly looking forward to it. In medieval Christianity, as Christians settled into the official endorsement of their religion by the Roman Empire, the dark side of Judgement Day expectations became more prominent. Christians too, and not just the unbelieving world, were warned of dies irae (the Day of wrath). Especially important in Western monasticism, the day of wrath became a warning to all men — as we are all sinners — to dread the coming of the Lord, and to use the present opportunity to prepare for the destruction of the present world. In any case, the Millennium always stands for a great reversal of the present state of affairs.

Pre-Christian millennialism

Although never officially recognized by the Catholic Church (and actually pronounced a heresy already in 431 AD), millennialism, which had clearly been there in Jewish thought before, received a new interpretation and fresh impetus through the arrival of Christianity. A millennium is (a) a period of one thousand years, and, in particular, (b) Christ's thousand-year rule on this earth, either directly preceding or immediately following His Second Coming (and the Day of Judgement).

The millennium reverses the period of evil and suffering; it rewards the virtuous for their courage while punishing the evil-doers, with a clear separation of saints and sinners. The vision of a thousand-year period of bliss for the faithful, to be enjoyed here on earth ("heaven on earth"), exerted an irresistible power. Although the picture of life in the millennial era is almost wilfully obscure and hardly more appealing than that of, say, the Golden Age, what has made the millennium much more powerful than the Golden Age or Paradise myths are the activities of the sects and movements that it has inspired. Throughout the ages, hundreds of sects were convinced that the millennium was imminent, about to begin in the (very) near future, with precise dates given on many occasions.

Premillennial sects look for signs of Christ's imminent appearing. Other chiliast sects, such as the prophetic Anabaptist followers of Thomas Müntzer, have believed that the millennium had already begun, with only their own members having realized this fact. Consequently, they have attempted to live out their own vision of the millennial life, radically overturning the beliefs and practices of the surrounding society. In doing so, they offered a model of the good life and expressed their hope that soon the rest of the world would follow and live like they did.

See Christian eschatology for a discussion of "premillennialism" and "postmillennialism".

Transition to the Millennium

Millennial sects typically have believed that the transition from the present to the millennium would be anything but smooth, what with the Antichrist having to be defeated and Jesus Christ's reign on earth having to be established. At times, this expectation of disastrous wars which bring an end to the present age, have been undertaken by leaders of the movement as their responsibility to bring about.

On the other hand, also those who did not believe in the millennium imagined the end of the world as chaotic and catastrophic. The word Apocalypse has been used for this final phase of human history as we know it, with Armageddon as the site of the last decisive battle on the Day of Judgement.

An (or the) Apocalypse [from Greek apo "off", "from", "away", "un-" and kalyptein "cover"] is,

The Book of Revelation is not easy to interpret. Numerous painters and sculptors have produced works of art dealing with the Apocalypse. For example, they portrayed the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, symbolizing pestilence, war, famine, and death.

Millennialism and Utopianism

The early Christian concept had ramifications far beyond strictly religious concern during the centuries to come, as it was blended and enhanced with ideas of utopia.

In the wake of early millennial thinking, the Three Ages philosophy (Drei-Reiche-Lehre) developed. Making use of the dogma of the Trinity, the Italian monk and theologian Joachim of Fiore (d. 1202) claimed that all of human history was a succession of three ages:

  1. the Age of the Father (= the Old Testament)
  2. the Age of the Son (= the New Testament)
  3. the Age of the Holy Spirit (= the age of love, peace, and freedom)

It was believed that the Age of the Holy Spirit would begin at around 1260, and that from then on all believers would be living as monks, mystically transfigured and full of praise for God, for a thousand years until Judgement Day would put an end to the history of our planet.

In the Modern Era, with the impact of religion on everyday life gradually decreasing and eventually almost vanishing, secularized versions of millennial thinking cropped up. With God dethroned and science and reason elevated in his place as the new messiahs, the French Revolution seemed to many to be ushering in the millennial reign of reason. Also, the philosophies of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (d. 1831) and Karl Marx (d. 1883) carried strong millennial overtones (such as the "dictatorship of the proletariat" as the new beginning of an everlasting period of history, actually lasting for the rest of time). As late as 1970, Yale law teacher Charles A. Reich coined the term "Consciousness III" in his then best seller The Greening of America, in which he spoke of a new age ushered in by the hippie generation.

Millennialism and Nazism

The most grotesque parody of the Three Ages philosophy and of millennialism in general is Hitler's "Third Reich" ("Drittes Reich", "Tausendjähriges Reich"), which, however, was to last for twelve rather than a thousand years.

The phrase "Third Reich" was coined by the conservative German thinker Arthur Moeller van den Bruck (b. 1876, suicide 1925), who in 1923 published a book entitled Das Dritte Reich, which eventually became a catchphrase that even survived the Nazi regime.

Looking back at German history, two "glorious" periods were distinguished:

These were now to be followed -- after the shameful interval of the Weimar Republic (1918 - 1933), during which constitutionalism, parliamentarism and even pacifism ruled -- by

In a speech held on 27 November 1937, Hitler commented on his plans to have major parts of Berlin torn down and rebuilt:

[...] einem tausendjährigen Volk mit tausendjähriger geschichtlicher und kultureller Vergangenheit für die vor ihm liegende unabsehbare Zukunft eine ebenbürtige tausendjährige Stadt zu bauen [...].

[...] to build a millennial city adequate [in splendour] to a thousand year old people with a thousand year old historical and cultural past, for its never-ending [glorious] future [...]

Conclusion

It appears from this evolution of millenniarian ideas, that there is a close relationship between millennialism and utopianism. Millennialism looks for the recovery of paradise on earth, a return to the Garden of Eden. Millennialism places hope in the future realization of an idyllic state of affairs lost to mankind, dimly remembered or constantly dreamt of, but romantically hoped to be not beyond the possibility of attainment, just as utopianism does. For a wider discussion of Millennialism as a sub-type of utopianism, see the entry on Utopianism.

Millennium

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A millennium is a period of one thousand consecutive years. When dating years, millennia are usually taken to begin in the years divisible by one thousand, or alternatively in the year after that, e.g., 2000 or 2001. The use of the odd year came from the Anno Domini system of religious dating, where the year 1 was supposedly the first "year of our lord" and thus the first millennium would be years 1 to 1000 and the second millennium would start in 1001.

There was a popular debate leading up to the celebrations of the year 2000 as to whether 2000 was the true "new millennium". Some argued that based on the Anno Domini system, the "true" new millennium would begin in 2001. Others argued that under the Gregorian Calendar centuries should be observed at the first numerical departure from the previous millennium (ie: we are in a new millennium when we stop being in the 1900s). Others argued that our entire system of dates is so arbitrary and meaningless that it is impossible to define the "true" date of a millennium.

Wikipedia has a page for each millennium: See millennia.

Millennium was also a suspenseful television series, produced by the creators of The X-Files and set during the run-up to the new millennium (it premiered in 1996).

It featured actor Lance Henriksen as investigator Frank Black.
