Usage: The word "χίλιοι" is used in the New Testament to denote a quantity of one thousand. It appears in contexts involving large numbers, often to convey the idea of multitude or completeness.

Context: The Greek term "χίλιοι" (chílioi) is used in the New Testament to represent the number one thousand. This term is often employed in apocalyptic and prophetic literature to signify large, complete, or significant quantities. In the New Testament, "χίλιοι" appears in various contexts, including:

• Revelation 20:2-7: The term is used in the context of the "thousand years" during which Satan is bound, and the reign of Christ and His saints occurs. This period, often referred to as the "Millennium," is a significant eschatological concept, symbolizing a time of peace and divine rule. For example, Revelation 20:4 (BSB) states, "They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years."

• 2 Peter 3:8: Here, "χίλιοι" is used metaphorically to illustrate God's perception of time, emphasizing His eternal nature and patience. The verse reads, "Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

The use of "χίλιοι" in these passages underscores the concept of divine completeness and the vastness of God's plans and purposes. It often serves to remind believers of the magnitude of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises.
