🔍 Interpretation by Major Views
1. Amillennialism
Reign of Saints: Happening now in a spiritual sense (Christ reigns from heaven, saints reign with Him).
Satan Bound: Satan is currently restricted from deceiving all nations as he did before Christ’s resurrection.
Little Season: A future, short time of increased evil just before Christ returns bodily.
Are We in It Now?
Possibly. Amillennialists often interpret current world events—moral decline, persecution, deception—as signs that the “little season” may have begun or is near.
2. Premillennialism (Historic or Dispensational)
Reign of Saints: A future, literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth after His second coming.
Satan Bound: Will happen at Christ’s return.
Little Season: Will occur after that literal Millennium, when Satan is briefly released.
Are We in It Now?
No. According to this view, the 1,000-year reign hasn't happened yet.
3. Postmillennialism
Reign of Saints: We are entering or are in the Millennium—a long, non-literal golden age where the Gospel spreads and Christ rules through His Church.
Satan Bound: Currently restricted.
Little Season: Will come after this golden age, as a brief time of apostasy before Christ returns.
Are We in It Now?
Possibly entering the “little season,” though Postmillennialists are generally more optimistic about the Church’s victory before the end.

🌍 What Do Current Events Suggest?
Many modern Christians, especially those with an Amillennial or Premillennial lens, point to:
Rising global deception
Persecution of believers
Apostasy within the Church
Technological or political consolidation
…as potential signs that we could be in or approaching the “little season.”

🧠 In Summary:
Has the 1,000-year reign happened?
Depends on your interpretation: Yes (spiritual) for Amillennialists, No (literal) for Premillennialists, Ongoing for Postmillennialists.
Are we in the “little season”?
Possibly—especially in Amillennial and Postmillennial views, many see present events as matching this description.
