Premillennialism
claims that the kingdom of Jesus Christ does not yet exist. The premillennial
view is that Jesus came to earth to establish His kingdom but could not because
the Jews rejected Him. So they say, when He comes again, the Messiah must
establish and rule 1000 years on the throne of David over an earthly, civil
kingdom. Does the kingdom now exist or will Jesus reign for a thousand years on
earth (the millennium) when He returns?
