Amillennialists believe that Christ’s millennial kingdom extends from His first coming up to the time of His second coming at the end of “this present age"...Then the “age to come” takes up, that is, an eternal age involving the new Jerusalem, the new earth and the new heavens. The millennial reign of Christ is therefore now, both in heaven and on earth. Jesus Himself declared before Pontius Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). He reigns presently in the hearts of His new covenant people while they are on the earth...
