@mitch Then the bit upthread about Catholics and Protestants isn't really accurate. Catholics are definitely amillenial - in their theology the millennial kingdom already started at the time of the resurrection of Christ. Protestants differ by denomination.

Perhaps with the benefit of hindsight, one could identify the millennial kingdom as the Roman Empire beginning with Constantine making Christianity the state religion and ending with the fall of the remnant Papal States in the 1860s-70s, contemporaneously with the coming of a new Manifestation. Obviously that interpretation would pose some problems for Christians though!
