Sjakk, I believe in a 1000 year reign of Christ, based on Rev. 20, as how I understand scripture more literally. I'm a minority in this thread, so my view is different than most. I don't claim I have it all worked out perfectly in my mind about every detail, but this is where I am in my understanding at this time. So I will probably see chapter 21 differently as well. It's best to let the Holy Spirit help you work that out. Too many ideas being thrown out at one time doesn't help me much...but quite time with God does.
