“The most striking point in the eschatology of the ante-Nicene age is the prominent chiliasm, or millenarianism, that is the belief of a visible reign of Christ in glory on earth with the risen saints for a thousand years, before the general resurrection and judgment.”

Yes, they’re wrong. Jesus is coming spiritually for the millennium. There will be many signs and wonders but He isn’t returning to the earth physically to reign.

Where do people get the above idea? There is an intermediate coming of Christ, it is spiritual.

Some Christians and non-Christians reject the pinnacle of the faith now, how sad but watch what God can do. The millennium is the Eucharistic Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

FWIW, you might want to read the article before stating your church’s particular teaching.

The WORD of G-d:

See:
Ps. 90:4; Eccl. 6:6; 2 Pet. 3:8; Rev. 20:2-7

I wouldn't want to tell the Lord Jesus Christ that He can't do something or is only Spiritual. I wouldn't want to say that He can't reign over the earth as King.

After all, "He will divide the booty with the strong" Isaiah 53. And Job said (Job 19):

23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,
or engraved in rock forever!
25 I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes , and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!>

It might have to do with words in the Holy Scriptures like these.
