Then you believe the latest revision of amillennialism that emerged after the failure of Augustinian eschatology. You might recall earlier in this series it was discussed how Augustine predicted the 2nd Advent would be either around 650 AD, or 100 yrs after the ascension.

As far as I can see Jesus said he was coming back to separate the sheep from the Goats.
Mathew 25
31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Reading to the end of the chapter it sure sounds as if this is the day of judgment and not a thousand year reign.
John 6
39
And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Just before Jesus left here he said several places that he would come back and receive his own at the last day, and I can not see that he said anything about coming back at any other time.
My point is that even if Jesus is speaking of coming back and ruling for a thousand years he is also talking about judgment day which is the last day, I can not see a thousand year reign at the last day and I see no where that he says any thing about coming back before then.
