Varies

No uniform position; various interpretations within the Assyrian Church

The Assyrian Church of the East does not hold a single official position on Revelation 20:1-6 or the millennium. Different theological schools within the Church have interpreted this passage variously—some favoring an amillennial reading, others a premillennial or postmillennial approach. The Church's liturgical and theological focus has been on the liturgy, sacraments, and pastoral ministry rather than on detailed eschatological speculation.

Eastern Christian tradition generally emphasizes the mystery of God's final purposes and tends to avoid rigid systematizations of prophetic passages.
