• Revelation 20
• 1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,
  having the key to the Abyss and holding in his
  hand a great chain.
• 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent,
  who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a
  thousand years.
• 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and
  sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving
  the nations anymore until the thousand years were
  ended. After that, he must be set free for a
  short time.  
• 4 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.
• 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life
  until the thousand years were ended.) This is the
  first resurrection.
• 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in
  the first resurrection. The second death has no
  power over them, but they will be priests of God
  and of Christ and will reign with him for a
  thousand years.

Lutherans and Other DenominationsAdventists

• LCMS on Millennialism
• We reject every type of millennialism, the
  opinions that
• Christ will return visibly to this earth a
  thousand years before the end of the world and
  establish a dominion of the Church over the
  world or that
• Before the end of the world the Church is to
  enjoy a season of special prosperity or that
• Before a general resurrection on Judgment Day a
  number of departed Christians or martyrs are to
  be raised again to reign in glory in this world
  or that
• Before the end of the world a universal
  conversion of the Jewish nation (of Israel
  according to the flesh) will take place.

Lutherans and Other DenominationsAdventists

• LCMS on Millennialism
• Over against this, Scripture clearly teaches, and
  we teach accordingly, that
• The kingdom of Christ on earth will remain under
  the cross until the end of the world that(Acts
  1422 John 1633 1836 Luke 923 1427
  1720-37 188 2 Tim 418 Heb 1228)
• The second visible coming of the Lord will be His
  final advent, His coming to judge the quick and
  the dead that (Matthew 2429, 30 2531 2
  Timothy 41 2 Thessalonians 28 Hebrews
  926-28)
• There will be but one resurrection of the dead
  that (John 528 639, 40)
• The time of the Last Day is, and will remain,
  unknown, which would not be the case if the Last
  Day were to come a thousand years after the
  beginning of a millennium and that (Matthew
  2442 2513 Mark 1332, 37 Acts 17)
• There will be no general conversion, a conversion
  en masse, of the Jewish nation, (Romans 117 2
  Corinthians 314 Romans 1125 1 Thessalonians
  216)

18
Lutherans and Other DenominationsAdventists

• LCMS on Millennialism
• According to these clear passages of Scripture
  we reject the whole of Millennialism, since it
• not only contradicts Scripture, but also
• engenders a false conception of the kingdom of
  Christ,
• turns the hope of Christians upon earthly goals,
  and
• leads them to look upon the Bible as an obscure
  book.
