From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Millennium
      a thousand years; the name given to the era mentioned in Rev.
      20:1-7. Some maintain that Christ will personally appear on
      earth for the purpose of establishing his kingdom at the
      beginning of this millennium. Those holding this view are
      usually called "millenarians." On the other hand, it is
      maintained, more in accordance with the teaching of Scripture,
      we think, that Christ's second advent will not be premillennial,
      and that the right conception of the prospects and destiny of
      his kingdom is that which is taught, e.g., in the parables of
      the leaven and the mustard-seed. The triumph of the gospel, it
      is held, must be looked for by the wider and more efficient
      operation of the very forces that are now at work in extending
      the gospel; and that Christ will only come again at the close of
      this dispensation to judge the world at the "last day." The
      millennium will thus precede his coming.
