He means no more time period. There are no seconds, minutes, hours, days, nor years at the moment of the Second Coming.
That would be your opinion--not what the Scriptures actually say.

Wow! 1000 years IS NOT EQUAL to 365,000 days IS NOT EQUAL to
8,760,000 hours IS NOT EQUAL to 525,600,000 minutes IS
NOT EQUAL to 31,536,000,000 seconds when time STILL exists?
Not mine. The poster you were addressing. "He" as in "that poster".That would be your opinion--not what the Scriptures actually say.

Well…I wouldn’t strictly categorise myself as an Amil. Maybe I was, at one point. Maybe I still share some of their understandings…but by no means all.You are the first Amil who hangs on to the original earth. Almost like a premil who accepts the earth is brand new during the millennium, but still the same "rock" as you put it. The earth is about all there is to the universe, as the firmament is only half of reality.
Church Father (Justin Martyr 100-165AD) taught the 1,000 years represented the eternal kingdom in the new heaven and earth, not a literal kingdom on this earth
God's Kingdom will still be on this earth for eternity, before and after the new Earth is made. When Daniel wrote that God's kingdom will rule this earth forever once it's set up here in chapters 2 and 7, that's exactly what he meant. The only things that will have changed is that the Father Himself will be here with the New Jerusalem, the Millennium Temple won't exist, and there won't be any human beings there.Your desire isn't a reality found in scripture, this heaven and earth will pass away by fire, it will be a completely new creation
(Behold, I Make All Things New)
Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Isaiah 65:17KJV
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
The obvious problem with your theology is that you're confusing the amount of Jews God has called in the 1st century with the total amount of Israelites that will be converted in the future. There are a multitude of OT Millennium prophecies concerning the massive amount of Israelites that will be converted in the future. God isn't done with them yet. Paul ended his thought in Rom. 11 chapter by stating God only called a few Jews back then so more Israelites can be called and converted in the distant future, which is why he told the Gentile Roman converts not to get a big head about being Christians.Only the Remnant Elect Jew will be saved and added to the Church, those whom God foreknew and chose, the rest of are blinded
Romans 11:5-8KJV
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
