Amillennial is the view that there will be no future thousand-year earthly kingdom.
The prefix 'a' means 'no' or 'without,' so amillennial literally means 'no millennium.' In end-time theology, this refers to the belief that Christ will not set up a literal thousand-year earthly kingdom. Les Feldick describes amillennialism as the opposition to the concept of an earthly kingdom and Christ's Second Coming ahead of it, while he himself teaches a literal thousand-year reign.
Revelation 20:6 — This verse explicitly mentions a thousand-year reign of Christ, the very kingdom the amillennial view rejects.
The Bible explicitly references a thousand-year period in Revelation 20. Revelation 20:6 says that those who have part in the first resurrection shall reign with Christ a thousand years. The Old Testament also promises an everlasting kingdom that shall never be destroyed, as seen in Daniel 2:44. These passages provide the scriptural foundation for the doctrine of the millennium.
Les Feldick teaches that amillennialism is the opposing view to his own pre-millennial understanding of end-time events. He describes those who hold it as 'absolutely contrary to, and in opposition to this concept of an earthly kingdom, and Christ's Second Coming ahead of it.' He identifies 'the opposition to this line of teaching, which we call Amillennialism' and says he will explain how it came about. He reinforces the biblical teaching of a literal thousand-year reign, saying 'the Scripture says a thousand years,' while noting that this millennial kingdom leads into eternity. He also explains that the thousand-year period is called the Millennium and is an introduction into the eternal state.
Les describes the amillennial position as being 'absolutely contrary to, and in opposition to' the concept of an earthly kingdom and Christ's Second Coming ahead of it. In his teaching, he refers to 'the opposition to this line of teaching, which we call Amillennialism' and says he will explain its origins.
Les teaches that the thousand-year reign of Christ is called the Millennium and is limited in time, but it introduces the eternal kingdom. He says the same kingdom economy will continue into eternity, and that the millennium is a time of testing before the eternal state.
Revelation 20:6 says believers shall reign with Christ a thousand years. Daniel 2:44 says the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed. The Bible thus contains both a thousand-year timeframe and an everlasting kingdom promise.
Les Identifies the Opposition
Les describes those who oppose the earthly kingdom and Christ's Second Coming ahead of it, which is how he characterizes amillennialism.
The Thousand-Year Reign Revealed
Les explains that the thousand-year period is first given a time frame in Revelation and is called the Millennium, serving as an introduction to the eternal kingdom.
The Kingdom Continues into Eternity
Les teaches that even though the millennial reign ends, the eternal kingdom will operate on a similar basis, with Christ ruling and reigning.
The Term 'Millennium' in Scripture and the World
Les notes that the secular world uses 'millennium' for the next thousand years, while Scripture refers to the thousand-year rule and reign of Christ.

He will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. Now, you want to remember, the book of Revelation puts a time element on the kingdom. How long? A thousand years. Consequently, we get the term, the millennium. And even the world likes the year.
Amillennialism as the Opposing Teaching
Les explicitly names Amillennialism as the opposition to his line of teaching and indicates he will explain its origins in the next program.
Literal Thousand-Year Reign
Les says the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time—the Scripture says a thousand years—yet it continues into all eternity.

Now, it took me a while to come to that conclusion, but I'm so convinced of it now, I speak it without apology, that the thousand-year reign of Christ is limited in time. Absolutely it is. The Scripture says a thousand years. But, in essence, that same kingdom economy is going to go right on into all eternity.
Revelation 20:6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This verse explicitly mentions a thousand-year reign of Christ, which is the focus of the millennial debate.
Daniel 2:44: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
This Old Testament verse speaks of an everlasting kingdom, which Les shows is fulfilled through the thousand-year reign and the eternal kingdom.
The prefix 'a' means 'no' or 'without,' so amillennial literally means 'no millennium.' In end-time belief, this refers to the view that there will be no future thousand-year earthly kingdom.
Les defines amillennialism as the opposition to the teaching of an earthly kingdom and Christ's Second Coming ahead of it. He describes its adherents as 'absolutely contrary to' that concept.
Les Feldick treats amillennialism as the opposition to his teaching from Scripture, not as a biblically supported view. He points to passages like Revelation 20:6 and Daniel 2:44 as the scriptural basis for a literal thousand-year reign.
