Revelation 20:1-6 — "The Thousand Years"

Whether the 'thousand years' in Revelation 20 refers to a literal future millennium (premillennialism), a present spiritual reign (amillennialism), or a golden age achieved through the spread of the gospel (postmillennialism).

No official stance; Scripture as wisdom literature; eschatology not emphasized

The UUA does not engage with Revelation 20 as predictive prophecy. The denomination's approach to Scripture as wisdom literature rather than as authoritative doctrine means eschatological questions hold minimal significance. Individual UUA members may study Revelation for its symbolic or literary value without treating it as divine prediction.
