The thousand years. That’s 1000 years. The major translations render the passage as a thousand years. In other words it’s 1000 years.

>>The thousand years. That’s 1000 years. The major translations render the passage as a thousand years. In other words it’s 1000 years.<<

Two Greek words translate to “thousand”: χιλιάδες and χίλια

A numerical “one thousand” is translated from χιλιάδες (chiliades). See: Acts 4:4; 1Cor 10:8; Rev 5:11, 7:4-8, 11:13, 14:1, 14:3

An indeterminate thousand (”a thousand” or “the thousand”) is translated from χίλια (chilia). See: 2Pet 3:8; Rev 20:2-7
