[ unclear: Be]fore the Day of Judgement, Christ will come [ unclear: ag]ain (the celebrated Second Coming) to take [ unclear: wi]th Him those who are His before the final evil the person of the anti-Christ descends upon [ unclear: th]e earth. The Second Coming is expected to [ unclear: ta]ke place about 2,000 years after Christ's birth, [ unclear: wa]ter which the blessed will spend a millennium [ unclear: w]ith Christ before the Judgement Day. There are [ unclear: b]ought to be seven millennia: 2,000 years [ unclear: be]tween the Creation and the Deluge, 2,000 [ unclear: ye]ars between the Deluge and the Birth of Christ, . [ unclear: 1,]000 years between his birth and his Second [ unclear: co]ming and the subsequent millennium to the [ unclear: w]ay of Judgement. (Seven is the perfect [ unclear: nu]mber). After that, Eternity begins.
