Notes
Many people associate the Millenium with only the period of peace that comes after Christ's return.
However John makes clear in Revelation that the start of the seventh thousand years is not the start of the period of peace, but is closely aligned with it, and this seventh thousand years is also a key millenium which could be termed the Millenium.
