Question
What is meant by the "1000 year reign of Christ"?
My Protestant friend has got me totally confused.
Quite frankly as a 76 year old Catholic I never heard of it!

Answer
Don,
Thanks for your question.  I'm a 54 year old Catholic convert of 15+ years and I've never heard of the 1000 years of Christ's reign.  

In my research, there's no scripture reference.  Much of it is millenial conjecture, and as Catholics, we don't get involved in prophesy but live for the present.
