This week we come to what is probably the hardest part of Revelation to interpret. Chapter 20 describes a "thousand year" period where "those who have been beheaded" for their faith "come to life" and "reign with Christ." Over the history of the church, three main perspectives have developed for understanding this passage, and a good case can be made for each interpretation. Even though we can't know for certain which interpretation is best, it's valuable to study this passage so that we can understand why it should not lead to division in the Church.
