The word "Amill" is a term used to describe the belief that there will be no literal millennium, as described in the book of Revelation. The phonetic transcription of this word is /əˈmɪl/. It is spelled with an "A" at the beginning to represent the negation prefix "a-", which means "not". The remainder of the word is spelled as "mill", which comes from the Latin word "mille", meaning "a thousand". Therefore, "amill" means "not a thousand years", reflecting the belief that there will be no literal thousand-year reign of Christ.
