Millennium
The Millennium in Mormon tradition is understood as an imminent epoch, following the Apocalypse and the Return of Christ. Scripture describes it as a "day of transfiguration" during which the living are transfigured and the dead are resurrected to embodied immortality on Earth. This epoch is anticipated to be a time of continuing growth in knowledge and power, leading to significant world changes. The Millennium is characterized by peace after turmoil, beyond traditional notions of enmity and poverty and death.
