Millennium interpreted variously; focus on Christ's present kingdom rule
The International Church of Christ does not dogmatically fix an interpretation of Revelation 20 and the millennium. While the church emphasizes Christ's return and final judgment, individual congregations and members may hold varying eschatological views. The focus is on living faithfully in the present as subjects of Christ's kingdom rather than on detailed calculations of future events.
The church's emphasis falls on Christ's present lordship and the reality of the church as the kingdom of God in the here and now. Believers are called to build up the kingdom through evangelism, discipleship, and holy living. Eschatological speculation is subordinate to practical Christian obedience.
