1000 year reign is really just a natural period of time of 40 years. It is a great comfort to know as Christians that the reign of the saints are simply a past historical event.
JL Vaughn They lived and reigned a thousand years.
John, Who are the they. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
