 | | As for the time period of a thousand years, the Greek term used in Revelation 20 is chilia, which is derived from the root word chilioi and means “a thousand.” The Greek word, chilia, is technically a plural word, but it is always translated in the singular. |
 | | But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand [chilia] years, and a thousand [chilia] years as one day. |
 | | Since chilia is plural, some think it is an indefinite period of time and should be rendered “thousands.” Yet the same word is found many times in Revelation 7, where we read of the “twelve thousand” from each tribe of Israel. |
