The reign of Christ on earth for 1,000 years is designated by the term ____.

• A. Age
• B. Era
• C. Millennium
• D. Epoch

Answer: (C)

The term millennium denotes a thousand-year period, and in Christian eschatology it specifically refers to the reign of Christ on earth lasting for a thousand years, as described in Revelation 20:4-6. The word comes from Latin mille annus, meaning “thousand years.” Generic terms like age, era, or epoch describe long spans of time but don’t imply a precise thousand-year duration, so they’re not the standard designation for this prophetic period. That precise thousand-year reign is what “millennium” captures.
