It has been interpreted as a long period of earthly peace, the entire Christian Age, a time when the redeemed will reign with their Lord in heaven, or the restoration of the Temple and its sacrifices in Jerusalem. In one way or another, a fully developed Biblical concept of end-time events must recognize and deal with the millennium revealed in the Apocalypse.

In more despondent moments, you may have decided your church really didn't need your services. Here is a church that proved it could get along without its pastor, but he was a success just the same.
