I'll see if I can track it down. Like I said, I'm going by memory from a while back. I'll check with some amill friends and seminary friends and see if they remember.
On the surface, though, it strikes me as reasonable. Some see the bulk of prophecy fulfilled early in church history, early in the millennial reign of Christ. Some see the bulk at the end of that period that you call the millennium. Some see an unfolding throughout the millennium.
Since the length is indeterminate, it would make sense that if the Lord doesn't return for another 50 or 60 thousand years, say, that the bulk would be either earlier or later in the "symbolic" 1000 years.

, say, that the bulk would be either earlier or later in the "symbolic" 1000 years." I, as every amillennialist I know, fully expect the Lord's return in my lifetime as we are instructed to (2 Peter 3:10-13)!
