The Cross and the Millennium

by Peter Colquhoun

There are many theories about the millennium within the Christian community. Some believe it takes place before Jesus’ return and some after. Some believe there is a connection between the millennium and the Old Testament prophecies about Israel. And some believe the millennium will allow people a second chance of salvation. Despite these different ideas, one thing is certain—Jesus has only one resolution to earth’s history in mind.

In this fresh look at the millennium, Peter Colquhoun examines Revelation through the lens of Calvary. Take a look and see how the millennial events complete the work Jesus began on the cross—guaranteeing both the end of evil and the thrill of eternity in the earth made new, face to face with our Redeemer and King.

[ Bookshelf Review ]
Drawn from a single chapter near the end of the book of Revelation, it is tempting to think that “the Millennium”—a term not even used in the text itself—is not a major biblical theme. Similarly, number 27 is a long way down the list of the 28 Seventh-day Adventist Fundamental Beliefs. And we have struggled to find a previous book-length study of this topic in the history of Adventist publishing.
Which makes The Cross and the Millennium a valuable book.
Written by retired church administrator Peter Colquhoun and road-tested in preaching and teaching opportunities he has had in Adventist contexts around the world, his study makes the case for the importance of this doctrine and its value as a book, not by focusing on this argument but by demonstrating the importance of the final judgment as the closing act of the plan of salvation and the necessary culmination of the death of Jesus.
Revelation 20 describes a period of 1000 years after the Second Coming, at the end of which evil, the devil and all who follow them are finally destroyed and the world is made new. This sequence is important and The Cross and the Millennium points out some of the theological, practical and even political misdirection that can come with unbiblical understandings of the millennium. Adventists have long believed in a premillennial second coming of Jesus and Pastor Colquhoun urges that we maintain and deepen this belief.
If you have wondered about the significance of this sometimes forgotten fundamental belief, The Cross and the Millennium will answer that question—in both time-honoured and new ways.
And if you have previously spent time studying this promised sequence of rescue, judgment and re-creation, this book invites you to refocus this hope as a vital part of the Bible’s central story of Jesus, and the final act in the process of salvation that He initiated and continues to offer to us all. The story of the Bible— and of all who choose Jesus—ends well, and the millennium is a key to understanding how this will happen.

This book will make the church rethink its approach to the millennium teaching and ask why it has taken so long to make the cross and Jesus central. This ground-breaking approach to the millennium teaching brings clarity and certainty by linking it to the cross event and allowing Jesus to speak on the topic.

The Cross and the Millennium presents a clear and systematic interpretation of the millennium and the premillennial view of the Second Coming. It invites the reader on a fascinating journey to consider the climactic end-time events through the lens of the cross. By applying the Christocentric principles of biblical interpretation, Peter Colquhoun immerses the complex images in the book of Revelation—so often exposed to a variety of theological interpretations—in the truth of the Man of Calvary. He provides a theologically sound and spiritually encouraging interpretation of the millennium theme, as seen from Christ’s accomplished and victorious work on the cross.
—Dr John Skrzypaszek, retired director of Ellen G White Research Centre, Avondale University

In his typical style, Peter lifts up Christ and Him crucified from start to finish. The Cross and the Millennium draws you nearer to Jesus and brings relevance to the millennium in the context of the cross and the great cosmic conflict. It is Christological prophecy, inspiring theology and devotional reading all rolled into one. A must-read for all those sharing Christ and His end-time teachings and prophecies.
—Gary Webster, Director of the Institute of Public Evangelism, South Pacific Division of Seventh-day Adventists
