Nah, the Millennium is a spiritual reign of Christ that has been present in the Church since Pentecost. In other words, the Millennium is an ecclesiastical kingdom, founded at Pentecost.

the bulk of the biblical data is rather clearly in the amillennial corner. The Bible continually uses the terms Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven, Messianic Kingdom, and Church interchangeably (Matt. 7:21, 9:35, 16:13–20; Luke 11:20; John 3:15

In Revelations John describes the “Church age” in this passage (20:1–6). This age started with the birth of the Church at Christ’s Passion. Satan was then definitively defeated, but his public “chaining” occurred when the Temple in Jerusalem fell. From this point, Christ reigns with His saints over a worldwide spiritual Kingdom. The blessings of Daniel are being bestowed via the “strong covenant” he predicted (Dan. 9:27). The forces of evil are hampered by God’s restraining of Satan. The saints of the Church Triumphant in Heaven have undergone the first resurrection. By their prayers, they are active in the affairs of the earthbound Church Militant during the entire Millennium.

And so since it’s been about 2,000 years since Christi died and the Temple has been demolished, the thousand year reign of Christ is over, the Battle of Armageddon happened, and Satan has been thrown into the lake of fire and can’t deceive the nations any more.

That sure explains the paradise on earth we are now experiencing, doesn’t it?
