Millennium refers to a period of time: 1000 years. The plural of millennium is millenniums, or millennia. Millennium is also a theological word referring to a period of peace, prosperity and happiness; thousand years; and to a long interval of time.
It comes from the Latin words ‘mille’ means thousand and ‘annual’ means year (pre-millennialism, pre-tribulation pre-millennialism, post-millennialism, a millennialism). According to one interpretation of Christianity, a millennium is an interval of time when Christ rules, and it will be a golden era and a time of universal peace.
The milestones of the second millennium are: 1787 – US Constitution signed; 1950 – Indian Constitution came into effect.
“The next millennium will see humans scattered over solar system and a few between the stars, although I doubt extra-solar colonies.” –Jack Cohen
