Description | Apocalypticism and millennialism: The relevance of the "thousand year reign" for today. With the turn of the century it once again became clear that apocalypticism and millennialism are important themes. At the dawn of a new millennium the expectancy arises that the end of the world is at hand. Apocalypticism deals with the end time and millennialism with the thousandyear reign. The purpose of this study is to look at the relevance of the "thousand year reign" for a postmodern person. The "thousand year reign ", described in Revelation 20:1-10, is a concept that originated in the premodern time. Since there is a difference between how a premodern and a postmodern person understands time, it is important first to understand what this theme meant for the first readers of Revelation and then asking the question as to the relevance of this theme for today. | |
