Supporting arguments
The reign of Jesus predicted is not a literal physical kingdom over which he directly governs. It is the current, ongoing age of the Christian church, over which Jesus rules as God. The "thousand year" duration is also symbolic. [1]
Opposing arguments
God made a covenant with David, promising a literal, physical kingdom over which Jesus would actually reign. This is described in the Bible (2 Samuel 7:8-16, 23:5; Psalm 89:3-4). [2]
- Related argument: The Christian God exists.

Jesus will return to reign over Earth at the end of the millennium described in the Book of Revelation. This sequence of events is plainly described in the New Testament. [3]
