“The Third Reich which was born on January 30, 1933, Hitler boasted, would endure for a thousand years, and in Nazi parlance it was often referred to as the ‘Thousand-Year Reich.’”​—The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by W. Shirer.

Delightful as such a description sounds, why do we have more reason to expect it to come true than any of the other millennial hopes that men have entertained, including the Nazi Thousand-Year Reich? There is one impelling reason. This millennium of peace is promised by Jehovah God.
