Not a literal future period; advancing understanding of Truth

Christian Science does not teach a literal thousand-year millennium as a future physical event. Instead, the millennium is understood as the progressive advancement of human understanding of divine Truth. As more people awaken to Christian Science and its healing power, human society moves toward greater harmony and order.

This millennial age is not something awaiting future fulfillment but something that advances continuously as spiritual understanding increases. The timeline of this progress is open to God's infinite wisdom, not fixed to a specific duration.
