First, what millenium are you talking about? The one that the WTS said started in 1975?
*** Proclaimers book chap. 28 p. 633 Testing and Sifting From Within ***
This later led to the idea—sometimes stated as a possibility, sometimes more firmly—that since the seventh millennium of human history would begin in 1975, events associated with the beginning of Christ’s Millennial Reign might start to take place then.
***Thousand Years book chap. 3 p. 44 Enjoying the Visionary Preview of the Thousand Years ***
According to the Bible’s timetable, the beginning of the seventh millennium of mankind’s existence on earth is near at hand, within this generation. Now as at no time in the past the inhabitants of earth need the binding and abyssing of Satan the Devil in a real way. The world events immediately ahead of this are about to take place, and mankind’s great adversary and oppressor will be sealed up in the abyss for ten centuries of time. The royal rule of Christ and his resurrected congregation for a thousand years of peace and blessing to the human family is before us with all its glorious possibilities! A "great crowd" of dedicated Bible believers who are now putting their hopes in the millennial reign of Christ have divine assurance of being preserved from death and being ushered into that brightest period of all human history. What a blessed prospect for them!
Is the United Nations the only choice?
According to the WTS, the Prince of Peace came in 1878 or was that 1914 or is it yet future.
*** jv chap. 28 p. 632 Testing and Sifting From Within ***
Based on the premise that events of the first century might find parallels in related events later, they also concluded that if Jesus’ baptism and anointing in the autumn of 29 C.E. paralleled the beginning of an invisible presence in 1874, then his riding into Jerusalem as King in the spring of 33 C.E. would point to the spring of 1878 as the time when he would assume his power as heavenly King
*** w78 3/1 p. 27 Now Is the Due Time to Welcome the Universal Sovereign ***
THE UNIVERSAL SOVEREIGN is "the Ancient of Days," Jehovah. To him the glorified "Son of man," Jesus Christ, came, in 1914 C.E., for a share in the "kingdom of the world."

Thanks! Blondie for your answer to my post 'world order'. Sorry I wasn't able to answer sooner.
Obviously the watchtower view is distorted. However, "the Christ is not to come with stricking observableness. Luke 17:20, 30. Yet there will be a day when He is revealed. Is that day the new millennium? If a day with God is as a thousand years and recognizing that six thousand years of recorded history has preceeded this new millennium then are we not entering the last thousand years of God's rest day? Since the sabbath day would be the same as the previous (creative days) of seven thousand years God's creative project in connection His will being done on earth as in heaven should be accomplished within this next thousand years.
So the question, is this new millennium, the reign of the one thousand years of the day of Jehovah's rule by Christ, the great expose' of error, 'Armageddon' ? Notice, Rev.16:15, the verse that proceeds the reference to Armageddon in the 16th, infer's that it is an expose'. This would be in harmony with the promised resurrection for judgement on all mankind that has ever lived.
note: In this war Christ fights with an instructional sword of the spirit, Eph. 6:17; Heb.4:12,13, the long sharp sword of his mouth. Rev.19:11-21. Eventually replacing the one world government,' the eighth king' the wild beastly government structure that does away with 'false religious systems, that "has a kingdom over the the kings of the earth". Rev.17:11,15-18.
